→ pairing: kim taehyung x reader

→ genre: nonidol!au, ramenboy!tae, comedy, tiny pinch of fluff, jungkook is an idiot and you might be one too because you just ate a gigantic bowl of ramen 

→ wordcount: 3.8k 

→ note: i’m sorry this took so lonG! u sent this in a while ago but i saved it in my notes because it’s.,, so cute,., this is less about taehyung and more about kook and y/n competing with each other lol!!!! my stomach exploded just thinking about eating five pounds worth of ramen idk how y/n did it 

(gif isn’t mine!) (also i was ecstAtic when i found this gif!!!! how pErfeCt)

this has quite possibly been one of the worst weeks in your entire life

you don’t know how it’s happened but on every single day of the week something has gone wrong for you

monday - your alarm didn’t go off so you accidentally skipped two veRy important lectures that were crucial for the finals

tuesday - your alarm diD go off but when you got to your first class (on time!) you didn’t realise that your prof sent out an email in the morning saying that there was a room switch for the day and the room was in a building located all the way on the oTHER end of campus so you basically missed out on half that lecture

wednesday - you have a big gap between classes on wednesdays so usually you just hang out and study in the library buT when you got there someone had taken your favourite spot so you were forced to go to the really, really quiet study area (no one’s allowed to make a peep otherwise ya get the booT) and when you stepped in you stumbled over someone’s laptop charger that was plugged into the wall and literally fell the floor in less than a millisecond with a big SMAK and everyone in that room looked like they wanted to rip your head off (especially the owner of the laptop charger)

thursday - you ordered a chocolate almond milk and banana smoothie because you wanted to treat yourself but somehow they fucked up your order and it tasted like they threw oranges into your smoothie instead of bananas and by the time you decided you wanted to go back and demAnd that they fix your order the line was like a hundred feet long so you were forced to throw out your $10 smoothie

friday - todAY,., you got your grades back for your midterms and uh.,,. all i’m going to say is u might want to spend a little more time studying and a little less time on tumblr

whatever

you’re just glad it’s finally friday because you are going to hibernate in your room over the weekend to recover from everything

you were going to head straight back to the apartment after classes today but jungkook insisted that you guys hang out today!!! even though you basically see each other every day!!!!

unfortunately you’re just not in the mood to do anything because you’re grumpy and tired

also it’s that time of the month

so like

you really reALLY aren’t in the mood to do anything

but of course

because it’s jungkook

he didn’t give you a choice (he dropped to his knees and literally just started sCREAMING until you said you would hang out with him and then he hopped back up onto his feet and was like heehee oki!! let’s go, friend!!!! as he wasn’t just screeching a lung out in the middle of the schoolyard a second ago)

and this is where he decides to take you

a dinky ramen joint in the city

“why couldn’t we just have gone to watch a movie?” you groan and flop your head back “also we had lunch like two hours ago-“

“and your point is??” jungkook scoffs as he flips through the menu

“if we eat now it’s going to ruin our appetite for dinner and thaT’s going to throw everything off course- hey quit iT” jungkook reaches back blindly to whack your face gently to shut you up

ur a great person and he likes u a lot but you need to relax ur asshole sometimes (he literally said that to you within the first week of knowing you and when you gawked and responded with ‘my asshole is SO relaxed and loOSE right now!!!!!!’ in the middle of the cafeteria he knew that this friendship was meant to be)

“listen, i was craving ramen and i always come here because i know one of the guys who works here so i always get a discount…” jungkook trails off as he continues looking through the menu “okay, i know what i want!”

“okay give me a second to- woAh-“ jungkook drags you into the restaurant before you get a chance to look at the options

oh

this place is a lot bigger than it looks

spacious booths on both sides with obscenely red leather seats

square tables scattered around the place

it seems like it’s doing pretty well in terms of business because almost all of the tables are full

“jungkook!” both you and kook turn at the source of the sound

who is

who is tHAT

floppy, soft brown hair peeking out from behind a red bandana

a little blue apron wrapped around his tapered waist

a stained white v-neck (it looks vEry good on him and usually u hate v-necks on guys)

and his smile is very.,,. boxy?

your eyes widen when he approaches you two

you immediately duck behind jungkook and pray to god that you look somewhat presentable

you look down at your outfit

okay

jeans and a cute little flowery blouse

okay!!! not bad!!! hopefully your eyeliner hasn’t moved from your eyes to your chin tho

“hey, man!” they do one of those bro-hug things and he gives jungkook a couple pats on the pack

jesus

even his hand is hot

“table for one, as per usual?”

oh my god

and that voiCE?

silky smooth is the only way to describe it

“i actually brought someone with me this time! this is y/n.” jungkook points behind him and you poke your head out a little

taehyung tilts his head to get a better look at you and he offers you a warm smile

your heart skips a beat and you feel your cheeks grow warm

“ah, so this is a date?”

“taehyung, please.” jungkook scoffs and pauses “…my standards are higher.”

“hEy-“ you scowl and smack his arm before moving out from behind jungkook

you turn to face taehyung and you smile shyly “hi”

he sticks his hand out for you to shake and you take it graciously

he gives you a firm shake

“hi! i’m taehyung but you can call me tae if you’d like. any friend of jungkook’s is a friend of mine!” he grins and grabs two menus from the front before leading you guys to a booth in the back

you slide in on one side and jungkook slides in on the other side

taehyung hands each of you a menu

“i’ll be back with some water and to take your orders in a couple minutes!”

“okay, thank you!” you chirp and let your eyes linger for a couple seconds as taehyung walks off to wait on another table

jungkook narrows his eyes at you for a brief second

interesting

veRy interesting

“ah, let’s see what’s good…” jungkook hums and opens up the menu while stroking his chin

what a dork

“you literally jusT checked out the menu outside-“  

“hey. look at this!” jungkook pulls a flyer out of the menu before flipping it over to show you

he wiggles his eyebrows

you squint and lean forward to read the small text

you should’ve brought your reading glasses with u

“the big bowl challenge… finish a five pound bowl of ramen in ten minutes and get free ramen for a month-“ your eyes widen and you pull away as if jungkook just zaPPed you “are you insane?! five pounds???”

“it wouldn’t hurt to try!!! if you finish the bowl, it’s free!!! and free ramen for a month?!” jungkook points to the flyer again

“well, you go ahead and enjoy filling yourself up, i’m just going to get a normal sized bowl of ramen.” you scoff and shake your head as you flip through the menu

their new spicy ramen looks pretty good

you might go for that one

ooH and it comes with a side of dumplings for $2 extra

“you just don’t wanna do it because you know you’re going to lose.” jungkook sighs and leans back against the booth and casually flips through his menu

you drop your menu and gawk at him “wha- lose?? trust me, if we were to compete, you would be the loser here.”

“all bark, no bite…”

you clench your jaw in frustration and let out a huff

jungkook knows how competitive you are and he knows exactly which buttons to press to get you to fall for his tricks every single time

he’s so sneAKy

“c’mon, let’s do it together! i know how to make things more interesting. not only will we be racing against the clock - we will also be racing against each other.”

huh

that doEs make things more interesting

“what happens if i beat you?” you raise a brow and put the menu down

your spicy ramen and dumplings can wait for next time

“mm… i’ll buy you smoothies for a week. and if i win, you have to do my laundry for a week.”

oh groSS

you don’t want to do jungkook’s laundry

he has spiderman boxers with holes in them n stinky socks

but those smoothies are expensive

and really yummy

are you reALLY going to force yourself to consume a five pound bowl of ramen just to shove it in jungkook’s face

also,…,., do you really want taehyung to sEE you consume a five pound bowl of ramen

“-and i will be partaking in your ramen competition.” you snap out of it when you realise jungkook’s already ordering for you guys “and we’re alsO going to compete against each other to see who can finish their bowl the fastest!”

you can’t really change your mind now

you’re not a coWARD

you sit up a little straighter before propping your chin up on your palm and reaching up to tuck a strand of hair behind ur ear

hopefully u look cute under this dim lighting

“oh, really?” taehyung looks between the both of you before scribbling it down on his soup-stained notepad “my money’s on y/n.”

“you’re a traitor.” jungkook responds immediately and slaps his menu shut “y/n’s going down and she’s going to do my laundry for a week.”

taehyung gasps lightly before shaking his head and tuning to look at you “god y/n.,., you better win because one time jungkook left a pair of socks at my place and i swear to god i was this close to moving out because of the stench… i don’t want anyone having to go through the pain of-”

“okAY okay don’t u have a job to do???” jungkook scowls and hands his menu to tae and you do the same

“i will return shortly with two monstrous bowls of ramen!” taehyung chirps and heads off towards the kitchen

you let out a little sigh before leaning back against the booth

jungkook clears his throat

“what… was that?”

“what are you talking about?”

“y’know, the-“ jungkook starts giggling like a maniac and reaches up to pretend to tuck hair behind his ears over and over again “that!”

“i have no idea what you’re talking about. also, just out of curiousity-“ you take a small sip of water, “how do you know taehyung?”

jungkook pokes his tongue into his cheek before leaning back and crossing his arms

“why do you ask?”

“i told u it was out of curiosity” you respond innocently and shrug

“we’re in the same literature class. he’s a pretty nice guy!” jungkook nods before going quiet “.,,.,.he’s also a pretty single guy.”

you give him a pointed look “don’t do that.”

“what?? you were curious and i answered your question!”

“i’m terminating this conversation.” you roll your eyes and cross your arms

jungkook hums and leans over to check out the little boxes of extra toppings on the side

pretty standard stuff

extra green onion.,.some ginger.,,. salt, pepper, chilli powder

“you ever think about how long it takes for people to shred green onion into these thin little-“

“how long have you known him for?”

jungkook’s shoulders droop

obviously this conversation has been resurrected from your termination

“ah… almost a year?” he shrugs and peeks into the little pot of shredded green onions

you gawk at him and lean forward

“…and you didn’t think to introduce me to him until now-“

“i thought you weren’t interested.” jungkook slaps the ceramic lid back onto the pot

“i’m just making conversation”

“i juSt tried to make conversation about green onions and you completely shut that down-“

“also, going back to my point, i never even asked you if he was single or not, all i asked you was how-“

“but if you were to ask me if he was single or not then i would respond with, yes, y/n, taehyung is very single and i’m sure-“

“alrighty, here we go!” you immediately shut up and give jungkook a warning look when taehyung appears at your table carrying two trays propped up on his shoulders

you swallow thickly when you see his biceps flex slightly

.,,.yes.

Yes To All Of That.

taehyung sets your bowl down in front of you carefully as to not have any soup splash out-

oh god

this bowl is.,., it’s a loT bigger than you thought it would be

there are like four boiled eggs in here

a tiny mountain of shredded green onion

six pieces of seaweed

ten thin slices of pork

you reach up and tie your hair up into a ponytail

ya gotta put the hair up when it’s time to get down n dirty

“get ready to lose, y/l/n” jungkook grins and rubs his hands together in anticipation

“in your wildest dreams, jeon.” you snap back immediately and pick your chopsticks up

“since you guys are competing, i brought two timers for you“ taehyung plops two little clocks down in between the two of you and you make sure to smile politely at him before looking back at your bowl

you don’t mean to brush him off but you’re tryINg to figure out the most strategic way to finish a bowl of ramen this big

and so it goes

the next ten minutes of your life will be the most important ten minutes in your entire life

here’s your game plan:

eat aLL the toppings first to get them out of the way

just go hAM on the slurping

use your chopsticks to really shovel and paCK the noodles into your mouth

if necessary don’t even chew!!!! just swALLOW

and then at the end chug down the broth because by the time you finish the noodles the broth will have cooled down a little bit

jungkook’s game plan is just to eat and enjoy himself

he doesn’t care whether he beats you or not

he just wants to see you shovelling food into your mouth like a maniac in front of his friend that he’s pretty sure you’re vERy attracted to

evil??? only a little bit

>:-)

“alright, you two ready?” taehyung keeps his fingers hovered over the start button on each timer “in 3, 2, 1… go!”

you immediately slurp up a giaNT spoonful of noodles and regret that decision almost instantly because hOT HOT HOT

it doesn’t matter

you gotta do whatever it takes to win

whATEVER it takes babY

okay jungkook was originally going to just enjoy himself but his competitive streak has officially kicked in so now he’s slurping up the noodles just as quickly as you are

side note

the broth is actually really good

and the eggs are cooked to perfection

and the noodles are also cooked to perfection

perfEctly chewy and perfectly slurpable

you definitely see yourself coming back here and it’s noT just because that taehyung boy is cute okay

speaking of taehyung

he is vEry impressed with your progress so far

most of the people he’s seen do this challenge have struggled a bit at the start but you seem to be doing just fine

jungkook’s noodles keep slipping from his chopsticks and taehyung laughs lightly when some of the broth splashes onto his face

he wonders why jungkook’s never mentioned his cute friend that he’s realising he might be slightly attracted to even though he literally only knows your name

u cute

u real cute

“you’re eating like an animAL-“

“says the one shovelling noodles into her mouth!”

“at least i-“

you and kook simultaneously bicker anD eat and taehyung snorts when you threaten to shove a spoonful of chilli powder uP his- [statement redacted]

you pause for a split second when you see jungkook literally swaLLow half an egg

good god

wat dat mouf do

swallow half a boiled egg apparently

“tiME” you smack your hand against your timer and wipe your mouth with the back of your hand because you feel yourself dribbling a little bit

let’s see

nine minutes and thirty eight seconds

not bad!! for a FIVE pound bowl of ramen

jungkook slurps up the last of his serving and whacks the timer

nine minutes and fifty two seconds

oOh

close call

jungkook drops his chopsticks into the bow and pats his chest a couple times before wincing in discomfort “the noodles are stiLL going down the hatch”

“alright, that’s ti- oh.” taehyung rounds the corner and hits the side button on his watch “you’re both done!”

“yep, we’re both done..” you smile weakly

you don’t know if you can ever eat another bowl of ramen again

you don’t know if you can look at boiled eggs the same way without imagining one sliding down jungkook’s throat

“congratulations, you two!” taehyung peeks into both of your bowls to make sure there’s nothing left “you’re both the noodle champions!” he stacks your bowls together and picks them up “i’ll be back with your prize t-shirts!!”

great.,,. you’re both nooDle champions.,,. but at what coST

o god

and taehyung just witnessed you inhale a five pound serving of ramen 

his first memory of you.,,.is seeing you shovel like five pieces of pork into your mouth while glaring at jungkook 

ahHHHH 

aT WHAT COST

“i think i’m pregnant.” you groan and lie down on your back

you sit up a little to look at kook “and i think it’s yours.”

jungkook glances back over at you “if it’s a boy, we name it ramen. if it’s a girl, we name it ramena.” he slouches back against the booth and stares into space “i have something to tell you too”

“what”

“i’m definitely pregnant and it’s definitely yours.” he rubs a hand over his bloated tummy and lets out a louD belch and you groan quietly

“you’re repulsive”

“i’m carrying your child, how dare you speak to a pregnant man like that?” jungkook sits up quickly but immediately regrets it

he lets out another belch and you whine before throwing a balled up napkin at him

god

u can smell it from here

“oh, god. the baby’s coming.”

“if you puke it all out you’re immediately disqualified-“

“i don’t caRE the bABY’S COMING-“ jungkook slides out of the booth and you can’t help but laugh at the sight of him sprinting to the washroom

you stop laughing when you feel the ramen coming up a little bit but you swallow it down because there’s no way you’re losing after that baTTle

“where’s kook?” you jump and immediately sit up  

you point to the washroom “he’s about to give birth to a ramen baby through his mouth”

“…huh” taehyung kisses his teeth “well, do you want your picture up on the wall?” he shakes the polaroid camera and your eyes widen in mild panic

heCk no you don’t want your picture up on the wall

“oh, god no. i do not want anyone knowing that i ate a five pound bowl of ramen in less than ten minutes.” you snort and shake your head

taehyung laughs lightly before pointing to himself “but i know that you ate a five pound bowl of ramen in less than ten minutes.”

“mm, that’s true.” you purse your lips before sticking your pinky out “pinky promise you won’t tell?”

taehyung grins and sets the camera down so that he can wrap his pinky around yours

he stands up a little straighter and clears his throat

“i promise,” he presses a hand to his chest, “i, kim taehyung, will not tell anyone that you, y/n y/l/n, successfully consumed a five pound bowl of ramen in less than ten minutes-“

“good-“

“iF-“

“…if?” your brows knit together in confusion

if

if whAT

“if you give me your number.”

huh

you have to admit that was kind of smooth

and unexpected

but a nice kind of unexpected

you snort and feel the apples of your cheeks growing warm 

you clear your own throat before sliding out of the booth and getting up

taehyung stands up straighter as you press your own hand to your chest “i, y/n y/l/n, will happily give you, kim taehyung my number if you don’t tell anyone that i successfully consumed a five pound bowl of ramen in less than ten minutes.”

keep in mind the two of you still have your pinkies locked together

taehyung nods firmly and lets go of your hand

“your country thanks you.” he salutes and you can’t help but giggle when his right eye drops in a wink  

you feel your heart go all warm and gushy

and it’s noT from the heartburn

:-)

okay wait

it might be a little from the heartburn  

help me help you make your wishes come tru (aka send me a request)

[Review] Dance with Devils Rem Kaginuki/ Arlond’s route

Rem is the poster boy and President of the Student Council. He’s also in that not-so-sweet-spot of being the Son of one of the main antagonists so there are routes where he plays the role of a villain.  He is my best boy in the anime and still is in the game yet unfortunately, his route never gave him the development he deserves which is a huge shame given how we barely knew anything about him in the anime. He’s also the game’s favourite punching bag cause all responsibilities seem to always fall on his shoulders whether or not he actually had anything to do with them :)))  His route seems fluffy but there are pretty fucked up moments in it if you asked me given how clones are common place in this route and there was also a semi-NTR scene...yeah, I’ll just stop here. 

[Spoilers under the cut , this is a summary of his whole route, including some CGs]

Left Door routes:      Lindo   Roen

Right Door Routes:  Mage    Urie   Shiki

<< Previous (Shiki)    Next (Lindo)>>   Final Thoughts >I

Unlike the anime, Rem starts off as Tamaki Suoh 2.0 in his route and casually teases and flirts with Ritsuka but in a much more classier way compared to Urie. At first,He helps Ritsuka in the search for her mother with ulterior motives to pry some information about the Grimoire out of her.  Eventually, she finds out about this from the trio and their supposed ‘friendship’ is broken. Despite that, Rem had already grown to care for her genuinely so he gives her a silent apology when he passed her by in the halls the next day. We later find out that he was ordered to search for the Grimoire by his abusive father and is punished for not obtaining it sooner. After finding out about the grimoire being inside of her, he puts on his villain persona and tells her to follow him so that he could figure out how to get the Grimoire out of her. She rejects him and runs away yet he couldn’t bring himself to chase her.

They end up having an awkward encounter in Ritsuka’s classroom after school as Rem was going around doing his President duties and Ritsuka, replacing her class representative at the last minute as she didn’t want to go home to face Lindo. She ends up venting to him about Lindo and he tells her that doubting the intentions of people who love her will only create a gap between her and them instead of bridging it. This makes Ritsuka question his need for the Grimoire and He explains that in the demon realm, there’s a class system that determines who reigns over it depending on your strength and that currently the Arlond family, Rem’s family were the ones at the top. But now that the Grimoire exists, his family’s status is put on the line and thus, as their heir, he has to make sure that no one gets it and obtain it for his family instead.  

Ritsuka praises him for his efforts to fulfill his responsibilities and this makes him go asfeggiyvjjsk internally and he even tries to run away. So things get rather messy and they find their faces inches apart because Rem prevented her from tripping over her chair (The shoujo classic lololol) (´∇ﾉ｀*)ノ  Rem makes a cowardly excuse but doesn’t let go of her hand, so Ritsuka asks him if he really didn’t want to take this opportunity to kidnap her and he’s like ‘You sound like you really want me to’ and she denies it www . He leaves just as Azuna comes back from her errand.

Unfortunately, Ritsuka gets captured by Roen again as he lured her into a trap with a Rem clone. Rem comes to the rescue after Azuna accused him of being the one that kidnapped Ritsuka but Roen was not giving in as easily like he did before so he creates multiple clones of Maria. This triggers Ritsuka’s PTSD and Rem gets hurt by one of the clones while making an escape route because he didn’t want to hurt them. They manage to escape from Roen’s barrier and Ritsuka ends up crying due to her pent up frustration of being helpless in finding her mother so Rem promises that he will help her search for Maria. Unlike the other routes, this doesn't light a fire under their asses so sorry to say,they don't end up kissing here lololol (and because Rem is as dense as mercury) . Instead, Ritsuka finally realises that she was in love with Rem (´∀｀)♡

.The school festival rolls around and Ritsuka goes shopping for festival items with her friends.They end up bumping into Rem, who was investigating on ‘suspicious people’ lurking the streets near the school. Two of her friends invite him to join them and despite hesitating at first, he agrees (after taking a glance at Ritsuka huehue (｡･ω･｡)ﾉ♡ ) much to Azuna's dismay.  So they both end up having a pseudo date together where Rem blabbers about Shogi when they came across a Shogi phone strap. He ends up buying the strap for himself and another for Ritsuka, telling her to keep it a secret as he doesn’t want the other students to think he’s playing favourites being the President and all www. Later that day,Roen reveals to Rem that taking the Grimoire would mean killing Ritsuka and this makes him heartbroken.

Meanwhile, Azuna notices that her friend was in love so she invites Rem, who’s still shaken up by the revelation,to join the both of them during the school festival, earning a disapproval from Lindo. Later that night, Rem and Ritsuka end up as the king and queen of the school dance much to Lindo’s dismay. On the way back home, the three of them were ambushed by vampires led by Jek. This ends up getting Azuna killed and Ritsuka's powers go berserk,  effectively killing all the vampires except Jek. Rem ends up bringing an unconscious Ritsuka and Lindo back to his mansion after forcing Jek to retreat back to Vampire HQ. Ritsuka finds herself unable to sleep because of what happened to Azuna and bumps into Rem.

She ends up falling asleep on his shoulder after letting out her emotions due to the death of her friend and Rem finally makes up his mind that he wanted to bring Ritsuka happiness and not pain so he’s going against his father’s orders. He also carries her back to her room. Ritsuka wakes up feeling much better the next morning and goes to greet Rem. Just as they were having a cute moment (depending on the Human Devil scenarios, u get 4 different cute scenes :3), Lindo comes running and accuses Rem of planning to kill Ritsuka on the night of the full moon. Rem denies this and this starts a fist fight between Lindo and him. Rem ends up confessing his true feelings in the midst of their fight as Ritsuka recovers from her initial shock due to this and stops Lindo from hitting Rem, saying that she loves him too. Lindo finally decides to let them talk alone and Rem uses the opportunity to confess to Ritsuka properly and they share an embrace.  

Human route:

The three of them form a plan to defeat the Vampires by using Ritsuka as bait. On the day of her birthday , the vampires attacked the school and Rem and Lindo go to confront them while Ritsuka stays in the library covered in a barrier. After defeating the suspiciously few vampires, Rem calls off the search for the Grimoire so the other guys call him nuts for going against his father and working together with an exorcist, and tell him that they will no longer follow his orders. Meanwhile, Jek manages to infiltrate the library’s barrier and threatens to kill a student who he had taken hostage if Ritsuka doesn’t follow him. Ritsuka decides to follow him while taking note of the magic GPS Rem has installed on her phone strap. Rem and Lindo realise too late that they’ve been tricked by Jek and comes back to find Ritsuka gone. Rem remembers about the magic GPS he had placed on her phone strap and uses that to find the Vampire’s hideout. Ritsuka is dressed up for the sacrificial ritual and as Jek mocks her attempts to escape, he shits bricks when he senses Rem and Lindo’s presence so he pulls her to Nestle’s throne room. He then confronts the both of them and at first thinks he’s defeated them so he reveals where he had taken Ritsuka as a last act of mercy but later finds out that he’s been tricked this time as Rem runs to save Ritsuka while Lindo stays to fight him.  Ritsuka is paralyzed by Nestle but Rem manages to stop him in time. Rem manages to defeat Nestle but he’s able to rise from the dead again because he hid his heart and now they have to find it to kill him.

Human end 1 (Good end):

Rem is outnumbered but thankfully, the trio came to the rescue. They say that they’re not gonna let him boss them around but that doesn’t mean they can’t help. They also brought along Lindo, who they have also helped in Jek’s defeat. Lindo and Rem then team up to defeat Nestle as somehow, Lindo was able to figure out where Nestle kept his heart. While Lindo distracts Nestle,Rem stabs the statue containing his heart and this kills him but before he dies, he places a curse on Ritsuka so that she’d remain in an illusion that everyone died because of her. Ritsuka wakes up to find Nestle and Jek instead of Rem and Lindo and this causes her powers to go berserk as the castle starts falling apart. Rem insists on saving her despite risking getting zapped to death. He manages to get close enough to her but gets stabbed by Ritsuka out of fear. Ignoring the pain, he kisses her and this manages to bring her back to her senses. They all manage to escape the castle along with an Unconscious Maria.

In the epilogue, Rem confronts his father and says that he’ll receive any punishment in exchange for letting him be with Ritsuka. His father doesn’t give him a sound approval and tells him to leave. Meanwhile, Urie was about to tell Ritsuka about shouta Rem but unfortunately,Rem comes back in time to stop him. Ritsuka is disappointed that they might have to leave now, but Rem’s like “I’m staying with you babe” and so the others decided to stay too. Lindo comes in to cockblock cause he still isn't willing to hand Ritsuka to Rem so the Trio drag him out of the library as Urie tells her to enjoy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  Rem sofa-dons her to get her to tell him what secrets Urie told her about him and she tells him that she only wanted to know about his Shouta years. They then ichaicha happily in the third library ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Human end 2 (Bad end):

Ritsuka decides to take her fate into her own hands and awakens her powers. Rem manages to figure out where Nestle kept his heart so he and Ritsuka both work together to defeat Nestle as Ritsuka uses her powers to distract him and Rem uses the opportunity to stab the statue containing his heart. This effectively kills him as Lindo comes running, having defeated Jek too. They all leave the castle along with Maria. In the epilogue, Rem ends up having to say goodbye to Ritsuka as the death of Nestle and the Grimoire’s disappearance is causing chaos in the demon realm. Before he leaves, He promises that he’d come back for her someday in the future. After he left,Ritsuka continues on with her usual life.

Devil route:

Rem and Lindo go to rescue Maria from the Vampires and leave Ritsuka at the mansion. Before he leaves, they both exchange their king and queen crowns as a protective charm for each other. Rem and Lindo are confronted by Jek at the Vampire’s castle but he was no match for them and was defeated. Rem and Lindo successfully rescue Maria and head back to the mansion. Meanwhile, Rem’s father disguises himself as Rem and attempts to abduct Ritsuka. She manages to trick him into admitting that he wasn’t Rem by lying to him that she and Rem had bought their crowns instead and he introduces himself as Glax Arlond. He then strangles her and Rem is horrified to find this when he got back. Glax ends up taking Ritsuka back to the demon realm and sends some demons to stop Rem and Lindo from following him. Lindo offers to fend off the monsters and tells Rem to bring Ritsuka back. Ritsuka wakes up to find herself chained up as Glax orders the trio, who have moved over to Glax’s side , to kill Rem. Rem and the trio have a 3 on 1 and Rem ends up getting poisoned by Shiki’s arrow. But with the help of love ex machina, he manages to defeat them and runs to save Ritsuka.

Devil end 2 (Bad end):

Rem manages to find her and cuts off her chains. Ritsuka starts acting strange and ends up stabbing Rem with his own sword. Glax then appears out of nowhere and reveals that she was just a clone. As he lets Rem spend his last moments with the real Ritsuka, he mocks him for involving himself with human emotions and that he was a disgrace to the Arlond family. Before he dies, Rem tells Ritsuka that he’s sorry for not being able to fulfill his promise to her and tells her to escape by herself. As Ritsuka cries, Glax puts her unconscious to prepare for the Ritual. In the epilogue, he grants her a last wish and creates a Rem clone. Clone Rem proceeds to brainwash Ritsuka and when the time arrives, he kills her and Glax absorbs the Grimoire’s powers.

Devils end 1 (Good end):

Rem arrives at the throne room and there, Glax reveals that Ritsuka is actually the daughter of the previous devil King, Maksis who had tricked her mother into giving birth to her as the grimoire’s vessel. He then manipulates Rem into killing her by telling him to free her from her suffering. Ritsuka tells Rem that despite her fate as the Grimoire’s vessel, she never regretted having a life because she has people that love her dearly and even got to meet Rem because of it. Just as she thought Rem was really going to kill her, he ends up cutting off her chains revealing his fraud much to Glax’s anger. Both father and son end up having a battle and Rem manages to defeat him. Glax tells him to just kill him but Rem refuses and leaves with Ritsuka. In the epilogue, Rem calls Ritsuka to the third library and reveals to her about the news of him being appointed as the next King. He then asks her to come with him and that he isn’t taking no for an answer. Ritsuka’s like “Take me away Babeh” and they share a kiss. After some time, they finally get married and lived happily ever after.

Concluding Thoughts:

*long sigh* Honestly, this route turned out to be such a disappointment especially with the good endings cause as much as I want Rem to be happy, pulling a Deus ex Machina on things that are essential to his character development REALLY takes away from the experience. As much as I hate Glax, I agree that he was just another bad guy for the sake of being bad because we don’t know a single thing about him and that affected Rem’s backstory greatly if they even had one for him. I know people are saying that he has a tame human bad end but his death in Lindo’s human bad end was brutal so please excuse him for that. I can’t say that I wasn’t salty how it felt like the writer was much more delicate in handling the other characters’ emotions but decided to screw with Rem’s despite starting out strong. Rem is a character that hits close to home for me, so seeing him being treated as some kind of plot convenience was every bit of aggravating in my eyes. I’ll get more in depth about this in a later post because it’s going to be long.

[lovelocus]

can u do all the soft emoji asks :))))

lakjsdhdjks omg this is not what i wanted. be careful next time you reblog a long ask post  👀👀👀

💗  - if you could choose, which time period would you live in? why?

80′s because i really like some of the music from back then and the culture. Plus looking at my mum’s photos the fashion seemed pretty nice and everyone seemed a little more chill/friendly/charismatic/cool

🌿  - what place do you wish you were right now? why?

2028, i have a job and my own apartment, i come home at 4 or 5 every weekday and can enjoy my time alone in peace doing whatever i like. i don’t have to think about anything i don’t want to and thats it.

💫  - what’s the feeling of one emotion that you’ve never been able to label?

everything i’m feeling right now?

🌷  - what are some physical traits you are attracted to?

Have you noticed how fit people stand and walk differently? it’s kinda attractive. Eye smiles and smaller/monolid eyes. I think girls with chubby-ish cheeks are adorable - seunghee, suhyun, jennie, this girl on instagram i follow. Nice arms and thighs 👌 but i like a lot of softer looking guys. if you smell nice. a nice (or) deepish voice, freckles sometimes. MOLES, esp. in interesting places

💐  - what are some personality traits you are attracted to?

humour (if you make me laugh i’ll probably fall in love with you), doesn’t take themselves too seriously, is “smart”, a bit adventurous, respectful, actual friendliness, easy-going. is soft? idk how to explain it. cute in a natural way? but its more than that

📺  - describe a picture you’ve had in your head and wanted to take.

those nice food/beach pictures i always reblog.

👼🏼  - what is your ideal friend like?

im comfortable talking with them but also with keeping some things private. doesn’t feel the need to talk all the time or doesn’t make me feel like i need to make them laugh all the time. knows what to give me for my birthday. is comfortable not talking to me using social media or through texting. likes to go out and try new things/food. honest, reliable and loyal

🌙 - are you more nostalgic or foward-looking? or are you neither?

nostalgic about tv shows and photo albums but otherwise i’m pretty forward-looking

☁️  - what colour does one of your idols remind you of?

i hate it when people say dk reminds them of yellow. i get it but also :/ its everywhere, boy deserves better.

joan on yt reminds me of a light, warm yellow though

sawako reminds me of anime uniform pink and blue

💞 - what does love feel like to you?

i wouldn’t know ^^ love’s too meaningful but i felt different looking at dean in the and july video today. I guess the moment you start to look at someone differently, your chest feels heavier and you can’t help smiling? and you’re just like, wow, i love this person so much.

🍃 - what’s one thing that you regret never saying?

not gonna say who but a few weeks ago i finally got the opportunity to talk to someone but i bailed out and ended the conversation too early. wish i’d talked with them more about anything

🐰 - what’s one of your favourite childhood memories?

sitting in the living room with my family and watching the chinese tv together?

going to the library. they got rid of it so i miss it a lot :( esp. the smell. it was so nostalgic

✨  - what normally happens in your dreams?

i’m always going somewhere??? i don’t write down my dreams so i don’t remember them but they’re pretty wild. The only one i remember atm is a soonwoo dream i had that was like this really high quality but fanmade amv/movie trailer except with clips from things they’ve never done in real life?? like they ride on a rollercoaster and wonwoo pretends to die but gets zapped back to life by cgi lighting like the one on variety shows. A channel called thejapanstudio made it.

☕️ - who makes you feel warm and cozy?

dean, minghao, dk, suga, jimin, rapmon. this is a sOFT BOY blog. no nice wholesome answers like me mum or my boyfriend

🌟 - who’s a character that you relate a lot to? why?

michael from the office because he’s a horrible human being and everything i hate about myself lmao. I hated him so much when I watched the office

this is a lot buut,,,I love over sharing :)

[earthdeep]

so I actually finished fe echoes shadows of valentia after *checks back through blog* about one and a half years. or rather, I got totally fed up on my first playthrough and restarted a few days ago bc I was sick of having it semi-complete. I have Thoughts so... under the cut

might as well get the technical stuff out the way. 

loved the artstyle. but the ui fucking sucked. all the important numbers and stuff is WAAAAAY too small to make room for character portraits and the layout of a lot of options is just... weird. oh and there’s no way to look at a zoomed out map and it’s a pain in the arse when I just wanna check where the fucking enemies are.

combat system is... definitely interesting for a fire emblem game. I enjoyed it overall, but it felt a bit lopsided. no weapon durability (yay), no weapon triangle (eh), magic users learn spells in character specific orders (hm), 90% of bow using enemies can’t do shit against fliers (wtf?), absurdly high crit rates (ugh)... lance users ended up near useless by endgame. I had a single one who could hit hard enough to take down an act 5 enemy, and he was too slow to chase them. meanwhile I could keep my archers back way out of enemies’ range and crit them, or field my many mages who could do massive damage AND heal each other constantly. srsly, all hail our lady and saviour delthea, who by the final boss had 30 atk and could oneshot almost every enemy with her lowest level spell. she is the best, and I love her very much.

there was a lot of other fidgety stuff especially on the overworld that really got on my nerves after a while. I’ve never been fond of the point hopping system that’s fairly common in tactical rpgs, but echoes has the infuriating variation that forces u to fight every respawning enemy u cross. fuck those graveyards. fuck them to hell. especially fuck them when I have to pass them so often to complete sidequests in the villages and such. but at least dungeon exploring is still fun. well, I say that, and it leads into another bother.

fates, the previous fe game, did a lot to improve the experience of casual players such as myself. the protagonist being allowed to fall in battle without an insta game over, for example. phoenix mode was nice for replays too, tho since echoes was preeeeetty linear that’s a moot point for me. echoes decides no, actually, fuck that, and also fuck the battle saves introduced in awakening. ur gonna work through duma’s tower for an hour with no way to save and reload and if one of the ten million enemies in there knocks down celica ur losing all ur progress without even a chance to use the in-universe save scum device. bc fuck u.

incidentally, duma��s tower is where I quit during my first playthrough.

buuuuuuuut there’s more to games than mechanics. there’s story too! and... hoo boy. there’s two major sticking points for me that ultimately make it a disappointment. spoilers ahead for literally the entire game.

number one: the broken aesop of alm’s arc. ie, fernand was right.

so, fire emblem games have a lot of birth destiny and divine rights to rule and all that jazz. while it can be just a background fact of life (awakening and imo path of radiance fell into this) or a major problem that causes protagonist centred morality out the whazoo (Y HALLO THAR FATES’ CONQUEST ROUTE), echoes tries to go a different route, especially in the first act. alm butts up against those who don’t think he should be allowed to be a knight, let alone lead an army bc he’s of common birth. even those on his side (*cough*clive) struggle to hold noble and common life of equal worth. but here’s alm, the poster child of destiny caring not for trivialities such as parentage. he’s a good fighter and a good leader, and proves that even a commoner can become a hero!

except they can’t. alm isn’t a commoner. he’s a prince. he could never vanquish duma if he hadn’t noble blood in his veins, bc the falchion is locked in a vault only royals can enter, and is a sword only he can wield. were he truly a commoner, he would have failed. and all this would’ve been easily forgotten fridge logic if the characters hadn’t kept bringing the even a commoner bs all the way with them until he found out who his dad was! fernand, the primary voice for this shit, doesn’t die until after seeing alm revealed!

frankly, alm being a lost prince was purely a detriment to the story. oh no, he killed his dad? who fucking cares. blood is the only thing they share. I’ve seen this dude like twice before I cheesed his ass by warping my best units up to his section of wall and zapping him. half his dialogue is only available post-patricide. alm had more of a connection to Asshole Cousin Berkut that to him. also, his plan for preparing for the end of the world as is stood was one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

but there’s also a more fun point. number two: the straight agenda!

ugggggh. listen. on my first round through, I joked a lot abt all the unrequited love going around. and honestly there’s quite a lot of interactions that I found genuinely nice. faye and leon being open about their feelings and accepting they aren’t requited, and alm and valbar being honest and comfortable with that. or delthea mentioning her crush on clive to his sister and having mathilda immediately pointed out. or like, clive and mathilda’s entire relationship during the game. I like me a lovey dovey battle couple.

but then the epilogue slides hit. why the fuck would mathilda become a Good Housewife(TM) after marrying a man who encouraged her as they fought alongside each other. delthea gets the same treatment and settles down with an unnamed husband and becomes “normal” in her slide. then u have mae and boey who get married and have children and argue AND THAT IS IT. like guys, I like me some rivals to lovers as much as the next lesbian, but u can’t be said to have kids that give u more reasons to fight and have me believe this is any way healthy. please find a replacement for celica bc u do NOT work together on ur own. *sigh* at least clair and gray have a nice marriage where they’re both free to be themselves. in my game anyway, idk if she hooks up with tobin if they get higher support, but when he’s an archer and she’s a frontline fighter, they never had a chance.

and then there’s alm and celica.

I could’ve liked alm. I really could. while his base is still Default Fantasy Hero, I like his comments when u examine things, I like that he has the nerve to stand up to clive when he’s on his bullshit. but dude. u met ur fake cousin celica briefly when u were kids, got along well, then obsessed abt her for like a decade. get. over. it.

same to u celica. u were fucked in my eyes from the beginning bc I find devout characters actively dull, but come on. u made a friend who had a birthmark like urs. as far as ur concerned, that’s all. stop reading the script and try learning the politics of running that kingdom ur set to inherit.

beyond the “alm...” “celica...” wistful calls, and the forces of destiny/the writers, I could not tell u what draws these characters together. the one time they’re not staring into the middle distance at each other, they’re in a petty fight that makes celica look like a spoiled child (and keeps her there until after she sells her fucking soul to the shadiest guy in the fucking universe? celica. celica cmon.) like why do these people like each other. with as much as destiny pulled them together rather than human connection, they may as well have been siblings instead.

on my first run, I genuinely thought that was where they were headed. I got given “alm can lift royal sword” and “celica ‘lost’ brother in fire” and put together that OH! they’re brother and sister! like mila and duma! bc it’s history repeating itself! and then conrad showed up and I was confused. also, iirc alm genuinely believed celica was a cousin of his while they were interacting as kids and didn’t learn she was just in Fantasy Witness Protection until later, so for that to turn into poorly telegraphed romance is just... ew.

anyway. at least most of the characters were good. can’t even pick a favourite tbh. I like clair a lot, and tobin and gray. mae and delthea are both fun and adorable. the valbar/leon/kamui trio are great and chill dudes. I even like silque despite being the nun type, bc she just tries so hard and I appreciate that. oh and sonya’s very lovely with genny and DESERVED BETTER THAN BECOMING A LITERAL SOULLESS HUSK IN THE EPILOGUE AS SHE TRIES TO HELP OTHERS, FUCK U ECHOES.

also there are definite immersion hiccups. oh, the land’s barren and we’re facing famine, huh? *stares at trees full of oranges* *stares at wells full of water* *stares at baskets full of fish* *stares at inventory full of meat and vegetables* *stares at knife that can produce food if I kill an enemy with it...*

wait. I turned a lot of enemies into food with that knife. like my inventory for celica’s army filled up with it. was... was I eating people the whole time?! D:

anyway, fe15, 7.5/10 too much swamp
