(April’s)Huevember - Day 26!

featuring: Loki & Hecate

[in which I’ve made my very own #Huevember wheel this year (that you can use too! Pls tag me I’d LOVE to see!) - unabridged version continues, including a wide array of Elysium’verse characters across the rainbow!]

‼️moody deity with a superiority complex who’s built his entire identity around being a sorcerer VS actual goddess of all magic and witchcraft from competing pantheon just chillin’ = FIGHT!‼️ jkjk aka yay witchy gang in lavender!! well I SAID yesterday that today’s post was low key 🤭 notes!!

I am at a point in my life that I am constantly forgetting that Elysium!Loki is technically not an OC and is in fact transplanted from — but to me he is 🥰 listen he’s been here for like 11 years he can do what he wants

BUT Hecate’s supposed to be the big focus here cause this light pinky purple is her color! Hecate is 💞pastel goth💞 she is::: very cool. very nonchalant. extremely powerful but like, ehh yknow whatever, about it. not a big deal.

I’m not sure that she knows that she’s locked in an eternal behind the scenes competition with Loki, who IS also very cool BUT can’t be nonchalant about anything ever?? “Competing for what” I literally don’t even KNOW? but he views her as a Threat and a Challenge 😠

again I can’t stress how little Hecate knows or cares about his Opinion™ ffkfkfk. he’s actually more courteous to her than he’d like to be bc she’s sort of like, dating one of his sons (Fenris)?? lmao!!?? grinds his fuckin gears but WHATEV

these two witches (which is another strike against her, Loki does not appreciate being called a witch🙄) do often team up to perform magical deux ex machina tasks and favors in the palace, most famously co-healing Chal’s arm after Ker ate it off which came with a Chthonic-brand-magic side effect of some black claws on one hand. a cool look though! magic is cool, is the moral here 😎 that’s the gist

stay tuned for tomorrow, which has two pics attached to it!! 🤭😇🥰💞 get hype! Loki belongs to………… Well. cmon now E!L is mine. let’s be real here. don’t tag the m word. also hilariously I don’t know who has custody of Hecate anymore I think she’s currently @fenixethekid’s ?? does Not matter - click the link up above to see the whole Huevember wheel - feel free to use the tag AceprilHuevember if u want to play too - and my tag this year can be found here!!

ATTENTION FELLOW GOJOHIME HOES

Here I present chapter 2 that nobody asked for of my shamelessly brainrotty fic Call Me By My Name: The Taming of the Insufferable Manwhore Sorcerer

Now if you're into a female-empowering story ripe with explicit consent featuring Gojo the Hoejo but more specifically the simpy closeted bottom sl*ut and Utahime the slayer of Hoejos, then THIS is the story for you :D

A preview of my slutty insanity is below- if you like what you see, you can read the rest on Ao3 HERE. Hope you enjoy, thank you for your time and have great night

*********

“Oh hi Senp-”

“GOJO, YOU GAPING A*SSHOLE!!!! WHAT THE F*UCK IS WRONG WITH YOU????”

He had to bite back a snicker with considerable effort. Guess she found them, and boy, did she sound PISSED. He decided to milk it for all it’s worth.

“Oh Utahime, are you mad at me? I feel like your mad at me.” Gojo asked innocently, scratching his big dumb head for emphasis.

“Mad?? Am I MAD???” she seethed through clenched teeth, “I WILL SKULLF*UCK YOU, YOU STUPID C*OCK!!! WHEN YOU MYSTERIOUSLY VANISH NO ONE WILL FIND YOUR BODY BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT TO FIND!!!!"

*********

“Take off your clothes.” she commanded firmly.

Gojo hesitated before complying, slowly removing every article of clothing, allowing them to drop unceremoniously on the floor before standing completely n*ude before her, waiting. He looked to the mirror, at the reflection of her face, his head directly above hers. She had closed her eyes once again, her brow furrowed in what appeared to be deep concentration. When she made no move to acknowledge him, he softly cleared his throat.

She turned slowly; almost reluctantly. But the moment she’s fully facing him, her eyes widen at the sight before her. His body was bathed in the moonlight, his skin glowing in the soft light- almost translucent. The ridges and lines of his pectoral, abdominal muscles and pronounced hip bones cast shadows along his skin, further highlighting his breathtaking physique. Her eyes raked across his lanky but impressively exquisite frame- tracing every inch of skin as if she was committing it to memory. She looked up, meeting his brilliantly shining eyes once more.

“You’re f*ucking beautiful.” Utahime whispered softly in awe, as if she was unaware she had spoken aloud.

*********

“Well…there is this guy. There’s a lot of annoying things about him. But I do feel this attraction, I guess.”

She sighed, looking out the window. “Part of me wants him and wants to ignore everything else about him. But the other part of me just…can’t.”

Her mother regarded her thoughtfully. “And why is that?”

Utahime turns from the window, shooting her mother a pointed look. “You know exactly why.”

**********

And in honor of the "5 Song Lovers", each chapter is dedicated to a song to encapsulates them and the themes of the chapter.

This chapter is named after Chance the Rapper's sample of Daft Punk's "Something About Us". I implore you to listen not only for the sick beat but for its raw bars (see Ao3 for lyrics link since tumblr is dumb about it) about a guy wanting to be with his girl forever, but she doesn’t feel the same way so he tries to change her mind throughout the song- this in particular melted my heart:

My world is less worldly without my girl I know to you, that might sound deep and sh*it But it just means you let me know why I exist so I understand why you are pissed but Understand without you in my world, it's just abyss

[beetlemancy]

hi beetle, this is coming from a friend so i really hope you take it to be in good faith. recently i've been kind of frustrated by the way that you've been discussing the whole potential racism in c3 issue. i know you do actually care about people of color and our concerns, and i know you also care about critical role--the cast, the story the people. what's been kind of concerning/disappointing to me lately is that you have a lot of focus on the (mostly white) people who are (1/?)

making "criticisms" of c3 already with ridiculous complaints like "it's racist to set it in marquet to begin with", etc. i know how you feel about purity culture/cancel culture etc and i'm absolutely not saying it's wrong to call those people out, however it's been pretty disheartening to me to just see stuff like "of course it's different if poc have concerns" in your tags, while there's dozens of posts about how annoying the cancel culture people are. and i mean i 100% agree, (2/?)

they ARE super annoying, not to mention incredibly harmful. but one of the biggest causes of harm right now is that they are speaking over people of color with real concerns. this has ALWAYS been the case with cr, and it makes it very easy for white fans to not look at what poc are actually saying. i don't know if or what research you've done in your free time on some of the concerns and racism already present in cr or what actual poc are worried about, but i do know that (3/?)

just from looking at your blog, i get a sense of "ehh there's probably racism here, maybe? but all i want to talk about is the people calling out fake racism, cause they're wrong." i know that's not consciously who you are as a person, bc you've always been very kind and willing to listen to me. all i'm asking is, please consider maybe signal boosting some of the poc talking about their concerns, if you're going to discuss the people with invalid concerns. if you wanna talk more i can dm (4/4).

A few things before I respond - to anyone reading this, this is valid criticism coming from someone I know. They are on anon but we talked outside of this because of technical 'tumblr is broken' stuff, however this is the first time I'm actually responding directly to this. Please do not clown on this post, if you reply! I'm good, my friend is good, and this is important criticism coming from a good place. <3

So. I did a little digging through my own blog because my memory is bullshit and I found this response to an ask which I believe is the crux of the issue:

Now, I'm going to say this as an autistic person trying to parse through behavior and not as a way to excuse myself, but here is what I believe is happening: Generally, people come to me with the disk horse about the people who are being obnoxious about it. Generally, people don't come to me with reasonable, in lane, valid criticism. I'm very used to only responding to the "purity culture" version of fandom drama. Rarely do people send me asks about the real stuff because there's nothing to be angry about it.

I also haven't personally seen many takes by fans of color who are vocally worried about the setting based on being uncomfortable with it in the past - many of the people I follow are actually excited about it and honestly I took my cues from them. I actually try to avoid the tags these days because so much of it is spam or active trolling. I, and I think along with other people in my autie circles, find it truly difficult to figure out whether someone is -actually- worried or just being pre-mad for disk horse reasons as well. This is room for improvement and I'll be doing more research to find blogs that are talking about real concerns - that's on me for not being more active in following different perspectives.

I 100% understand where you are coming from in regards to how it comes across, now that I've taken a step back to assess. I understand why you are disappointed in my responses about it, especially to that ask in particular. That was someone directly explaining that they were worried and for good reasons and I definitely side-stepped answering with any real deep thought.

I do still struggle with knowing what is the right thing to do in situations like that. I was being honest when I said I didn't believe this was "my lane." I thought it would be disingenuous for me to really talk about my feelings in depth about it - but had not considered the fact that by only responding about the obnoxious people that I was adding to the noise drowning out fans of color.

Now I write all this out because I think I'm not alone in this and hopefully others will read this and be like 'oh, yeah, i fall into this trap too' and maybe we all can do a little better. We pride ourselves on having nuance in the face of bullshit, right? But nuance isn't a constant - its a learning process, and I'm definitely still learning - with the help from my friends who love me enough to point things like this out.

I'd also like to follow more people who are talking about this for real (aka, not the usual crowd of pre-madders) and I might need a little help finding people (social deficits make things more difficult but are not an excuse to not try!). I'll be hitting up some other people I know privately to find blogs, but if anyone has someone or if you are someone and would like a signal boost, hit me up!

In conclusion. I'm really glad I have friends who are patient with me even though you don't have to be and I'm glad you told me about this issue. My hope is that I never disappoint you again, but if/when I do, I hope anyone - one of my friends or not - feels like they can come and talk to me about it. <3

Midnight City AU

this is an au where the main characters are all young adults!! (or millennials ig? they’re in their 20s basically) i gave a rundown of what’s what on a diff post,, i’m also splitting it up into diff chapters,, so this is gonna take a looooong time to finish. i’m posting this before i nitpick my writing to the max

it’s basically a lot of references to that point in time, artists, pop culture etc. all the chapters are named after songs from that era (including the name of this au bc i love midnight city and what better way to describe LS ‼️), and the lyrics r usually connected to what the chapter’s about, or about a character dynamic :D i hope this isn’t too cheesy, or sounds off ig. any typos in this were probably over looked bc i constantly reread my writing and rearrange stuff and make sure it sounds good 🥳 hope y’all enjoy !!! i’m also including a tag to find the chapters under :)

//Chapter 1: Crimewave

Trevor would never, ever admit it, but he had fallen into the category known as “post-hipster”. This was a strange era that began culminating, taking LS by storm. Whether he liked it or not, he could never avoid it. Even if he swore up and down he wasn’t like them, it was practically a paradox. Saying he wasn’t like them just made him a branched off version of the thing he denounced. Each aesthetic that was churned out as the 2010s rolled in were tied to a style, a sound, and Trevor couldn’t care less. It’s not like people liked what he liked. He didn’t belong to anything in particular, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t like them. If anything, he just became another obscure genre in the mix.

One of his favorite music groups was a Canadian duo called Crystal Castles. He enjoyed a good number of their songs, developing an interest for electropunk and pop punk. There was something unique about the sound, and it made Trevor feel special, like he discovered some sort of hidden treasure. He was into pop punk groups like Paramore too, but it was something about them that was just different. People knew Paramore. He often lingered around Sterling Lake, where other post-irony hipsters and classic hipsters resided, careful not to fully associate with them. After all, he apparently despised them, even though he participated in their strange… “culture”. If you could even call it that. From time to time he would find himself discussing his favorite artists with whatever semi-normal person was there, making a couple friends himself who weren’t the snooty kind he’d grown used to.

They all loved talking about how exceptional their taste in music was, a wide variety of people hanging around with their own cliques. Some liked Fall Out Boy, while others liked Blink-182, and then there were the weirdos who liked groups like Radiohead. Most of those guys were whiny, proclaiming how misunderstood they were. He knew maybe one Radiohead song at most (he definitely, definitely never cried to “Creep” and even if he did, so what) but never found himself willingly getting into their music. Then you had the nosedivr crowd, which consisted of mostly girls, and the occasional hipster guy that defected. Their taste was.. alright. Consisted of artists like Lana Del Ray and Marina and the Diamonds, who were their idols. He found almost everyone there besides the few friends he made kind of edgy, and not in the cool way. But he figured all hipsters and guys like them were kind of uncool. Don’t even get him started on those other indie rock types. God. He still came back as often as he could though, establishing some kind of routine. Most people there avoided him anyway, which he preferred. He had enough troubles with them in the past. There was one day he grew tired of the people gawking at him, and he launched a hipster right into the lake. So yeah, nobody within their right mind so much as looked in his direction. That was just how he rolled.

Today, he sat on a nearby bench in Sterling Lake’s park, watching some ducks float on water. His usual friends had been there too, seeing his clowncore buddy Wade with his cousin Floyd. Wade was extremely different than the pretentious fucks around them. He had a shit ton of piercings, and ICP was his favorite music group. Floyd on the other hand, fit right in. Almost too much, like it was something he was forced to do. But he did genuinely enjoy Weezer, of all things you could enjoy. Wade started waving at Trevor, while Floyd hid behind him. All he did was awkwardly wave back, turning his attention back to the lake. He liked Wade, but the clown stuff he wore sometimes spooked him. He didn’t pay much mind to his relative. Looking back across the water, he saw someone new, observing the area. Some dude a little above the average height, hands in his pockets walking around. He seemed a bit lost, and Trevor figured he should help if he was. After all, what was this guy doing here? New people didn’t show up often.

“Hey bud, you lost or something?”

“Oh uh, nah not really. I’m just looking for this girl I met a while ago, said she hangs out around here?”

“What she look like? I’m here pretty often.”

“Uhh kinda short, dark brownish hair? Wears fishnet stockings, high waisted shorts or whatever those grunge people are into.”

“Let me guess, she into the Neighborhood?”

“How’d you know?”

“Yeah, that’s Amanda, she’s a bit of a regular. Not too fond of me I must say.”

“How come?”

“She’s just petty towards me.” He said with a shrug. He didn’t feel like relaying his encounters with her if the guy was dating her or something.

“Oh… well d’ya think you could help me find her? I don’t really know anybody else here. I could actually use the help, since you know her.”

“Eh sure, why not.”

It’s not like he had anything better to do. The two began to walk around the park, gravel and dirt crunching beneath their feet.

“So.. what’s this place about?” The strange guy asked.

“Hm? Oh, it’s just one of those places the hipster folks meet up I guess. Don’t understand it much myself, nor do I really like them.”

“Then why do you come here?”

“Dunno. It’s relatively peaceful, those freaks keep to themselves.”

The man, who was only a smidge shorter than Trevor, glared up at him.

“Hey man, don’t call my girl a freak.”

“Ehh I don’t really count her in with the generic skinny jean wearing hipsters. More of a.. what is it called.. nosedivr type. Whatever that stupid website’s called. Why do you think she dresses like that?”

“Huh.. Never really thought to ask her.”

As he thought about the stuff Amanda wore, he took note of how the man next to him was dressed. He sported an olive jacket with a black turtle neck, and a plain pair of jeans. He wore beat up black converse to top it off, and a pair of Rimmers sunglasses sat upon his head. He looked simple, yet distinguished with the way he presented himself, hair neatly combed back. He figured the two would look nice standing next to one another. They would’ve made an attractive couple, if they weren’t dating already, the kind that turns heads. Trevor wasn’t like them. He wore a black beanie over his mullet, and his favorite pair of red Dix sunglasses rested on the bridge of his nose. The rest of his fit looked disheveled. He had thrown on a wrinkled top, solid black with little surf boards and cars along the bottom- he was a sucker for Hawaiian shirts. His pants were tan colored but had some bleach stains, with old combat boots on his feet.

“Yeah, we may not like each other but I don’t really consider her a freak like those guys.”

He jutted a thumb in the direction of a circle of guys huddled around a phone. The man holding the phone had strawberry blonde hair and a clean outfit on. An expensive looking outfit.

“Who are they?”

“The people here I absolutely cannot fucking stand. The genuine hipsters.”

“Oh.. and you’re..?”

“I’m my own kind. I’m not like these losers, all uppity and shit.”

“Right. Gotcha.”

They walked around a bit more before finding the group Amanda was with. She sat on a bench, chatting with a few girls who dressed similarly to her. All of them had black incorporated into their style. She herself had a black jumper on, tucked neatly into the front of her jean shorts. Just like the guy described, she had fishnets on under them, skater shoes to match. Loose braids fell on her shoulders, and a small black choker was wrapped around her neck.

“Oh, there he is now! Babe! Over here!”

She narrowed her eyes upon seeing Trevor standing next to him.

“Hello, Trevor.” She huffed.

“Relax, I was helping your boyfriend or whatever look for you.”

Her face softened slightly, but still kept a small glare in his direction. She pressed her lips together tight before replying.

“Thanks, I guess.”

“Yup.”

The man turned to face Trevor, sticking out a hand.

“Hey, thanks for showing me around. Trevor, is it?”

“Don’t wear it out.”

He shook his hand, noticing how soft it was. It was in stark contrast to his own, which was rough and calloused.

“Name’s Michael. I’ll see you around most likely? Thanks again.”

“Yeah, no problem.”

Amanda huffed again, nudging Michael’s shoulder.

“Let’s go hun, Bean Machine closes soon!”

“I’m comin’ I’m comin’!”

The two sauntered off, hand in hand. Trevor stood dumbly, watching them walk away. He was right. They did look good together. He wondered if he would actually see this Michael again, kicking a rock. He went back to the bench he originally sat at, putting his earbuds in, listening to some Crystal Castles again to pass the time. The beat thumped in his ears, and all he could think was how much better this shit was compared to that club music shit that played on every radio station in a 5 foot radius. He sat there, scrolling through his own secret nosedivr account, reblogging some photo of a lit cigarette. Right before a hand touched his shoulder causing him to jump.

“What the fuck- Oh. Ron.”

Ron was another friend of Trevor’s, a guy he had met outside one of the iFruit stores talking about how “they’re tapping the phones they sell in there!” and all that conspiracy nonsense. He was a paranoid guy, but Trevor kind of liked that about him. Those were the kind of freaks he liked. He was shorter than Trevor, sort of frail in stature. He wore a bright red windbreaker over a faded tourist tee that read “I went to Liberty City and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!”, along with khaki colored cargo shorts. It didn’t help that he wore some goofy looking bucket hat, and socks with sandals. He dressed like someone’s middle aged father.

“Trevor! Have you seen Wade around anywhere?”

“Last I checked, he was with Floyd.”

“Did he say where he was going?”

“Uh no, but my best bet is they went to that vinyl shop Floyd’s girlfriend works at.”

“Will ya come with me to find him?”

“Now why the fuck would I do that? What do you need him for?”

“Well I- I uh- um..”

“I uh! I uh! Spit it out Ron!”

“It’s about the Merryweather Night Club.”

Merryweather was a big organization that had a wide range of private clubs all over the country, and complimentary body guards to suit. They were all expensive as fuck, and anywhere they settled jacked up the prices of everything else. A lot of neighborhoods became gentrified as a result, and people actually considered it a good thing. What a fucking joke. Trevor of course couldn’t stand it. He hated bullies, and Merryweather was no exception. He’d been wanting to dismantle the club since they settled in LS, seeing as they only amplified the fake feel of the city. Let’s just say he’s gotten into more than a few scuffles with the club. And let’s just say it ended with someone getting stabbed as a result. The guy had it coming to him anyway. Between bouncers and the clubbers, they didn’t like Trevor or his kind loitering around the joint. It didn’t stop him from plotting some sort of revenge though. Ron per usual was on board, his reason being Merryweather’s violent history that had been swept under the rug. They were rather forceful relocating people who had lived in certain neighborhoods for years, Ron being one of their victims. Wade only decided to tag along because he wanted to be included.

“Ah fuck, what’d those bastards do now?”

“They’re throwing some big party!”

“…What fucking for?”

“All I know some guy’s coming to visit, somebody they labeled important and he’s-“

“Woah woah woah wait, Ron. Who?”

“Steve Haines.” He breathed out, careful not to be overheard.

Trevor’s eyes widened, his gaze shooting over to the posse he had poked fun of before. Steve was talking to the group, all of them doing that fake laugh they always did. God, even their humor was pretentious.

“Those fucking hipsters!” He hissed.

“I abhor them, you know that-“

“I know. I know. But, that Weston guy’s gonna be there with him-“

“Weston? Devin Weston?”

If Trevor hated hipsters, then he utterly loathed rich daddy’s money boys like Devin Weston. He had only gotten that stupid fucking night club because his father paid Don Percival enough money to let Devin do whatever he pleased with the Merryweather body guards. It was an elitist club, and they only allowed the best of the best in there.

“What the fuck’s going on there?”

“Something to do with those guys he hangs out with. I think they’re doing something major, expansion maybe-”

“And him and Devin are working together or..?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t hear much after that, that’s why I wanted to grab you and Wade and-”

“Then let’s fucking go get him, Ron!”

The two rushed out of there, heading for the vinyl store to look for Wade. Trevor knew a shit storm was coming, and he absolutely couldn’t wait.

//the next chapter’s gonna be longer i promise lolz

Tag 9 people you want to know better

Tagged by @original-jade (thanks hon! <3)

favorite color: Green!  Either bright emerald green (which is what my hair is), or darker shades.  Also I really unironically like gray, it’s so soft.

currently reading: No books at the moment since I’ve been writing so much, but I’m itching for a reread of The Song of Achilles.  I also desperately need to actually finish the J.M. Lee Dark Crystal books

last song: Right now I’m listening to recordings of my choir because I miss them (but we’ll be back next month!!), but other than that, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGX1IqwNMAA  Some of y’all know this but I LIVE for song mashups, the weirder the better (though this one isn’t weird, just good XD)

last series: I guess the last series I watched start to finish was Falcon and the Winter Soldier- I had to for a podcast I was guesting on but it was ehh.  For stuff I didn’t finish, Futurama reruns XD

last movie: The Birdcage!  I had a crap day at work last week and watched a lot of comfort movies (also watched Cinderella 1997, which is still the best Cinderella) XD The last new movie I saw was MK2021, though I may go back to the theater for the first time since covid to see The Green Knight.

sweet, savory, or spicy: That’s hard because honestly I just love food too much, but I’m very weak for sweet things, and especially sweet/salty combinations.  My heart can be won very easily by salted caramel.

craving: Somehow it’s always pho?  @3hobbitsinatrenchcoat can we go get pho

tea or coffee: Tea. I like coffee too but my stomach doesn’t like it anymore.

currently working on: LiuLao week hell mostly (currently on WIPs 2 and 3 out of...hopefully six? oof) XD At least one painting as well, and like...finding a new job since the movie I was working on just ended (I’m chilling for a sec tho I need a break).  I have a few cosplay projects too but they’re kind of on hold bc cons still aren’t really a great idea and I already have stuff to wear. Tagging: (some of you I know pretty well but too bad it asked for nine ;p) @3hobbitsinatrenchcoat @itsgoldleaf @locksnek @northstarfan @meduseld @maxmagi @ihavealotoffeelings @willofyaoi @tofadeawayagain

 ult group tag game 🕺

@sooibian you want me to talk about my ults?? I can do that.

who was your first bias?

"you don’t choose your bias, your bias chooses you” just about sums it up in my case - when I was first getting into exo, I was tunnel-visioning jongdae so much that it dawned on me I didn’t know the names of anyone else in the group askdfjkldsjf I literally have NO idea how that happened. there was a lot of GORGEOUS “april and a flower” content going around at that time so maybe it was just a subconscious process but yeah. I was just immediately drawn to him 😁 

who is your bias now?

still jongdae, more than ever if that’s even possible, but somewhere along the line junmyeon just...made an impression on me. he upholds himself with this quiet dignity no matter what he’s doing or what he’s talking about, and I think that’s very admirable and attractive. I’m so proud of our two military boys :’)

what was the first MV you watched by them?

tempo!

what’s your favorite MV?

oh gosh...I think power! it’s just so fun and colorful! oh but I also love blooming days too :)

if you could listen to one of their songs for the rest of your life, which would it be?

G R A V I T Y

who would you want to see them collab with?

I would honestly love to see them collab with a gg, I think red velvet would be perfect! “monster” mashups anyone???

what (MV) concept do you want to see them do?

they’ve done a lot of stuff huh...I think I would just like them to continue the “good guys gone bad” theme, this stuff is my jam 😏 

have you ever had a dream with any of the members in it?

yes 🤐

if you could spend the day with one member, who would it be and what would you do?

JONGDAEEEEE literally what I would give to just. sit down with a cup of coffee and just talk about life and where we’ve been and where we’re going UGHHHHHH 😖😖😖 I am SO curious to learn more about his music tastes bc he’s recommended everything from cardi b to boyz II men to ballad singers, I think it would be so much fun to talk about music with him! and maybe afterwards we can go for a walk at the park and take stupid selfies or something haha

which member(s) do you think you would get on with best?

minseok, junmyeon, jongdae, and ksoo

which member(s) do you think you would argue with?

chanyeol because I’m stubborn af and I hate losing asldkjfldskjf but especially baekhyun, he’s so damn annoying lmao 

if you had to let one member scroll through you tumblr, who would it be?

minseok - yeah he’d judge me a bit but I think we’d have a good laugh!

ehh don’t want to spam people so I’m tagging @abunnycotton @mel-loves-kdramas @changshapatrol @elyxion @myeoning-call @leewalberg @royal-aeris @taeminshomosexualvape @chensguns and anyone else who wants to do this! 💕

[sunlitscribe]

I've been stalking your Nova tag. I love her so much, so. What do you think would change if Nova were younger than Bonnie, say like Jeremy's age maybe? What is her favorite color? Does she have a favorite soda (or other drink if she doesn't like soda)? What is her relationship like with her dad (and do you plan on killing him off)?

!! hii thank you for being interested!

hmm i think that if nova was younger than bonnie, bonnie would be more protective over her in the big sister way and just take more of a helping role in her life. and nova would bug the shit out of her in the way little sisters are prone to do lmao

i also think nova and jeremy would be best friends, bc they do have a sibling dynamic as of now.

her favorite color changes a lot but she tends to gravitate towards purple and red (and black but tech not a color)

she would say vodka just to be hardcore lmao but she loves root beer and orange soda

slight spoilers::

her relationship with her dad is…. ehh complicated, they start off distant bc that’s what he is. they get closer as the story goes on, but it’s rough and she doesn’t trust him to not flake on her and bonnie again but they get to a decent place. sadly yeah i do have plans to kill him off just not in the way canon did it.
