What rlly bothers me about Zhen is that the other characters tend to have some sort of pattern on the face, her colors alone look way too soft
Her design in the poster with maybe something between the eyes would've looked great!!

im kinda mad at kishi for like,,,, making such a big plot on narusasu but in the end,, having them end up with other ppl? its so unsettling like it how someone can write 700+ chap about gay angst & longing/pining only for them to not end up with eo
I mean I never expected them to end up with each other officially because it’s both Japan and on top of that SJ, a conservative country and a conservative industry. While American homophobia is often based on religious beliefs, or just “different = wrong”, Japanese homophobia frequently stems from sociocultural pressure to get married and have kids. It’s seen as a way to honor your parents and your ancestors. Choosing a “gay life style” can be seen as selfish and disrespectful to your parents and going against the whole society. While this is not the case for everyone many gay people in Japan get married to the opposite sex and have kids to conform to society’s expectations.
With this in mind, a lot of media is of course influenced by the general mindset and politics, SJ as well. SJ also targets boys. Japanese male fans of shonen don’t like gay any more than the ones in the USA. Hell, a lot of fujoshi don’t want the characters to be actually gay, they only like it in fantasy.
Editors are working together with the mangaka, and they also care a lot about mass appeal, what sells. Did you know Kishimoto talked about a “new perv jutsu” 5 years before reverse harem jutsu appeared in the manga?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah this is the one that was so “controversial” that it took 5 years to get it in... Of course Jiraiya and other cliche perverts in shonen are totally okay even when peeping on women and being creeps, but creating an illusion of a harem of naked men is just too much. Also just like in the West, there are also parents who don’t want material that they see as inappropriative for their kids to read.
A few years ago there was talk about Isayama commenting on one of his friend’s manga that had one gay subplot (as in, it wasn’t a gay manga, but had a gay romance plot line) and Isayama mentioned on his personal blog that he thinks he might like BL. To this his friend responded; “Thank you so much! It seems like I was unintentionally able to invite Isayama-san to the world of BL so I got some strange courage!” Sooo mysteriously said manga got axed right after the BL subplot hmmm I wonder what was the reason 😶  People also said Isayama was being “gross”. Same way when Isayama made a comment about questioning whether Levi likes women at all, it pissed people off, or when Reiner and Ymir made their comments about not liking the opposite sex.
So it also reflects negatively on the authors. People question why do you want to show such degenerate things especially in a neutral or positive light. Like I mentioned earlier I saw even naruto threads discussing about it, saw people calling Naruto a psycho bisexual or that his obsession with Sasuke makes them uncomfortable, or asking why does he have to be so homosexual. At the same time, I saw one comment saying if this was another world maybe Naruto could be the hero, the president and also have his husband as the adjudant. So there are open-minded people too, even if the most loud ones are the homophobic ones, or people who try to avoid the discussion alltogether.
So as you can see there are many reasons. Kishimoto’s own fixation with N.S. is amusing though, aside from his favorite panel being the usuratonkachi one from 698, he wrote the disaster that is Gaiden where Sasuke looks absolutely miserable when asked to draw something for SS, but wrote Boruto movie where Sasuke looks actually happy with Naruto and Boruto and also helps fixing the relationship between the two. Naruto even wonders which one does Boruto resemble more lol. But SJ wants to milk the series with the next gen sooo this is what we got.

Me, to Luja: So tell me about yourself
Luja: No
Me: ...ma'am I need to write the story—
Luja: Good luck <3
[now that I do think of it, ALTERNATIVE's main duo that's established right at the beginning is literally a chiller but edgier Katsuki and way worse sUrViVe Nagito genderbends]
~~~~~~
Luja Sen, she/her
Anyways, Luja and Romila are friends from middle school (the story starts with the beginning of their high school at AoS (Academy of the Specialised) which was essentially founded by Nyx). Luja gains her Specialisation (Ferrokinesis: The Ability to bend metal) at the age of twelve, so she has it for a lesser time period than Romila.
Luja primarily wants to become a scientist. Her family is happy with that, because it's praised and everything, especially in our society.
She has a gifted child superiority complex. Being a gifted child + Specialised means that she hardly had many friends in school. Her family had tried to get her to socialize....which didn't go down too well.
She believes that most people are annoying because they waste too much time on useless things like gossiping and what not, which she never showed much interest in and doesn't like to be dragged into those nonsense.
She is friends with Romila since they do share the same taste in stuff and were the only Specialised ones in their class. And they kinda stuck together for most of middle school and went into high school.
She has a problem when it comes to seeing Romila since she tends to see her bad parts and is like, "It's a phase" considering that it's not necessarily affecting her. Romila doesn't get too cranky with her since she fascinates her, with her passion™ for science. Also because she isn't all self sacrifice UwU.
Luja cares for her own self above others (but tends to put Romila pretty close to that hierarchy, which is why she's one of the only two Romila trusts during the Mansion of Death (the other person is Kratanos)) however she also does want to keep what friends she has and is generally caring towards them.
She has a genuine love for science and loves to discover how things work and why, and her favourite facet is Physics. She does want to invent things and honestly just make stuff easier for the Specialised who face a LOT of issues, especially when it comes to amenities since the government is an ass about accomodations and they gained the Fundamental Rights like ten years or so ago in the ALTERNATIVE timeline. And they gain an additional right ("The body won't be harmed for science") when they graduate from school, after signing a contract that they dedicate themselves to helping the government when called upon. (The whole contract is stupid and basically oppresses them more especially the punishment for not abiding by it).
With her goal of becoming a scientist, she wants to use her talents to make accomodations specifically for them so that she could have done something.
The things she fears the most is failure. Failing as in being unable to accomplish her goals. She is afraid of it because it's an unknown variable that's constantly haunted her and she's working hard for it to never reach her.
I suppose there's a way for her to confront that fear during the Mid terms at AoS where she essentially "loses" in the practicals due to her......teamwork issues.
Everyone thinks of her as stuck up and isn't interested to listen to her much and since she views the others as annoying people with annoying habits, she tends to fail to regulate them, causing Romila to win instead (yes, it's THAT unfortunate of a situation) in their match, which causes her to review a LOT of things and she tries to see what caused her to lose after having a severe breakdown.
She develops an inferiority complex in respect to Romila and then spends a long time wondering where she went wrong.
Rena (who somehow clung to her) tries to cheer her up but gets turned back halfway, but she still stays on and Luja is like, "Wtf" until she sees Romila going entirely off the deep end (she presents an interesting contrast to how Koldin sees Romila as well, she sees Romila's behavior and considers it as a justification for her own self....she uses Romila to justify herself a lot (since if you asked Romila, Luja was more or less fine according to her since she wasn't being a doormat and stood up for herself) while Koldin sees Romila as the reason he should cling onto his own stuff) and realises that she could be on the path to destruction herself and accepts Rena's help and tries to be more open to others which leads to the Mid terms parallels in the Archenemy of Society arc where she "succeeds" instead and manages to get the class together enough to escape the situation.
However it doesn't mean that her fear of failure has entirely vanished into the blue, she just reviews the ways she can fail better now and works around it to avoid it and has more confidence in her own self. But she is still scared of failing and would love to avoid that more than anything. However she's chiller after that.
Her intelligence is more or less on par with both Romila and Kratanos, making them the three main strategists in the final battle against the bigots (which is basically a rerun of the Mansion of Death situation but way way worse and fucked up and has different leads to it).
....
The thing is that, no matter what I do, she winds up feeling like one dimensional/repetitive, which is something I am trying to amend about all the characters (I mean, I had to revamp a lot of characters so it will probably take me a long long time to actually get to writing.........sigh besides she stands up like a cardboard amongst people (I mean, you have Romila and Kratanos with extremely complicated storylines and then you have her. Just there))
So the main question is how to make her more interesting as a character and on par with the rest while still keeping her character flaws and personality?
I think the easiest way to go abt this is to view her as a sassy Bakugo. They have the main points in common. They're salty, don't like to socialise, feel inferior to a certain someone while still having some semblance of confidence and a terrible fear of failure
Now as much as I hate to compare your character to another one, it makes it a lot easier to have them become - as my English teacher would say - more. So I am sorry if this comes off as offensive-
For Bakugo, he became interesting by playing a big part in the mc's main story and we do get a few scenes where his vulnerability is shown. I assume it's the same with your character but...what rlly ties the knot for me when it comes to Katsuki is the fact that his problems...are more than just an inferiority/superiority complex. His whole thing stems from background especially (*cough* abusive mom *cough*) and the fact that he's not the main character (or rather that the story isn't being told in his perspective).
These facts make us over think and want more of him. The mystery draws us in which is why I think Luja's character is so perfect for someone in the background. She doesn't like to reveal things abt herself and is pretty dismissive to most things on top of that (plainly just salty). Her character rlly draws you in and the best way to portray those kinds of characters is through another character. Ofc, you'd have to get to their POV eventually but it's important to note that most of the details should come from someone else's POV (an observer, if you will) instead of info dumping and starting straight with hers. A character that's mysterious with a very simple yet relatable story attracts a LOT more attention and interest when seen from someone else's perspective than when you kickstart it from theirs.
Ofc, if u are planning (or already have) started the story from her POV, that would be a bit problematic in terms of interest. But not a train wreck. This is where my other point comes in. The point of making a character have more than one problem
Different ppl as well as characters have a main problem but also different ones, no matter what way you look at it. It seems that even you are confused with all ur character's ins and outs (dw, we've all been there... I am still there tbh) and a solution to that is backtracking a bit and looking at their life from the very beginning in HEAVY detail (like more than u already did). Think abt what other trauma could have been caused, what doubts and fears could have slowly crept it's way to her heart and head (I am a sucker for long-lasting doubts that develop over time) and anything you can even so much as GRASP on. If you look at it and see it as a possibility, try to fit that into her character and add it subtly in different places (as subtext or a creative pattern, wordplay, doesn't rlly matter as long as it's not openly stated bc, remember, the key thing to these types of characters is mystery).
For example, a fear of failure can stem into anxiety before the character has even lost smth later in their life. They probably get rlly anxious when evaluating smth but don't show it much or at all so no one notices. This adds even MORE to the character bc you can build it up after other events. Like once they have failed, they could probably get even more anxious and then develop a bad relationship with the person who beat them (double the points if it was a friend). You could build all that up and turn it super toxic instead of jumping right to the healing. It makes it more interesting, doesn't it? Plus, reevaluating almost everything including world views after 1 loss is...kind of hard to believe even with anxiety (no offense)
Adding a lot of little problems and thinking abt how Luja's behaviour can impact other characters helps a terrible lot if ur doing most of the story from her POV. Especially since she's probably the most relatable character (from what I've heard anyway). I have a certain saying... it goes like, "It's better to have a relatable and connecting character than one with a problem that is too big for normal people to fathom."
I like characters with heart-wrenching problems that I would never be able to relate to (take maybe Shigaraki as an example ig?) But my favourite are the ones that make me feel as tho I made a real connection
Also, I would like to say...if ur looking to progress her character even further, I would debate on whether it's the complete end to the novel or if there'll be a second part. If it's a second part, keep some of Luja's issues. Make her get better but not completely "YAY, I AM DONE BEING TORMENTED". If it's the end of the novel/series/etc., make it so that she's resolved most of most of her issues. They don't have to be completely gone but they have to be a lot better compared to how they started. And how i would work that out is a mind map but knowing ur a scatterbrain...lets talk it out where everything is all over the place
Luja's main thing is to gain confidence in herself and be finally ok with losing, right? If you ask me, that's a tough one but not impossible. I think to get her from point A to point B is to put up a bunch of events like:
Get her super anxious when doing smth
Lose to *insert person*
Have a breakdown and over think on what she could have done better (on the project or whatever she lost at)
Get even more anxious and totally mess up the next thing
Lose once again (double points if it's the same person as last time)
Overthinking abt how she's not good enough
F i g h t i n g f r i e n d s c o z d r a m a
"YoU'rE nEvEr GoNnA gEt BeTtEr If YoU kEeP tHiNkInG aBoUt YoUrSeLf"
Over think abt no. 8 bc out of options and ideas and ✨a n x i e t y✨
Try listening to others more and become b e t t e r
Win smth (bc creator forbid 3 losses in a row to start depression)
Lose again (there is gonna be a bit of back and forth but is necessary for development)
"I tHoUgHt I wAs FiNaLlY dOiNg SoMeThInG rIgHt AnD nOw LoOk"
"Losing is not th3 3nd of th3 fucking world, you lunatic"
"WELL, IT IS TO ME, BITCH"
*insert psychology somehow idk*
Another loss
"I'm angry...but I'm ok"
Note that idk where bullying would come in and these are only how I would think it to go-
A character like this isn't rlly my strong suit when it comes to them resolving their problems but they are fun to write and think abt-
................................did I just give you advice on how to traumatize? I-

as an emerging lgbtq+ (i'm 'BT') guy i am so glad you're making the point you made in your last post. I've always gravitated towards Dean because he is so 'imperfect' in his queerness, like me. but he's not a uwu soft queer so apparently that bothers a lot of ppl on here? Especially younger queer women, I've noticed. But a lot of guys, cis and trans, struggle with being attracted to men so much in a way that is simply different (not better or worse) than (1/2)
being wlw, especially depending on one’s generation and region, etc. basically what i’m saying is a lot of the few queer men that there are in the fandom stay quieter as it is almost completely queer women dictating what is and what isnt, and not quite empathizing with the unique struggle many queer men have with internalized homophobia/being Unmanly for being attracted to men. hope this wasn’t too all over the place, ive had this on my mind for a Long time and i’m glad you brought it up. (2/2)
ps: I’m not trying to put down queer women for being a significant part of the fandom. I just really wish the environment of the fandom felt more like somewhere queer men’s voices can be heard better, considering the largest pairing is, needless to say, mlm
Well, first of all, welcome Nonnie. I take it you’re addressing this untitled post addressing intersectionality, representation vs tokenization, represented demographics and just general motivations of those in discussion, yes? (x)
You’ll find this is a longstanding topic of my blog, be it excavating creator commentary people have buried for their own motivations and talked down and around, or dual faceted issues. 
(If you haven’t read the crosslinks on the post you’re addressing, you may want to read The Problem With Dreamhunter (x) It discusses exactly this issue, even if it was written over a year ago at that point, showing just how cyclic this issue is. It talks about MLM/WLW intersectional issues, migrating goalposts, a bunch of show stuff and some of Bobo’s sociopolitical commentary from 2003 about advancing LGBT representation through moderate incremental methods being proven effective at expanding the media presence/platform exponentially above liberal, or more severe/extreme styles)
But when it comes down to it, basically: Yeah, you right.
I didn’t just arbitrarily develop this opinion. I didn’t… just magically tune in to what the LGBT men that literally dodge fandom, for exactly the reasons you say, and know it’s because of the reasons you say – like that didn’t manifest. It came from leaving fandom (un)”safe” spaces. It came from engaging a great variety of LGBT males in real life, many of which engage the content. From observing how they spoke of the content in multifandom servers, or even *why* they chose to avoid speaking up.
And no, I personally didn’t get a read of you, like, insulting LGBT women for their part in fandom. Women engage social media for primetime TV fandoms at an exponential rate above men, so it’s almost unavoidable and it’s nobody’s fault really, but that says nothing for the perpetual habit of drowning out their voices to the fact that– well, they literally abandon engaging.
I’ve seen it enough times it *hurts* me. I shouldn’t *have* to pull my gay writing buddy out of holes to face this, and him still hide silently. I shouldn’t *have* to be the vein of news and information on the show to the bi male friend I have that refuses to touch this fandom. I shouldn’t *have* to even speak up about this. I really do want *you all* to speak up about this, because I can only speak so far, because you’re right: OUR JOURNEYS ARE DIFFERENT.
Hell, even a cis lgbt male vs a trans lgb(t obvious) male have entirely different journeys even though they’re both validly men. These battles are not the same. One community can speak up to defend another, and help hold them up and amplify them if there’s just not enough of them to project the way they need to, and this is something *greatly under respected* in this fandom. Nobody’s holding up the LGBT male voices when actually talking about representation. And you’re right, it’s mostly women, and you’re right, our path is different and our struggles and needs and wants and lives are different. But unless you take a considerable amount of time talking and sharing and learning personally the perspective of the LGBT male community, you’re not… really… helping them speak.
And let it be said, “holding up LGBT male voices” does not and should never equate to “despite having multiple LGBT men saying one thing, I found the one LGBT male saying the thing that matches what I want, who may or may not even actually be in the targeted demographic set of the character we’re discussing representation about, because it’s more than just being bi, it’s entire lives, paths and challenges– but you know, I found the ONE, so fuck the others.” That’s using your friends as tokens and cards. If you want to genuinely add to the conversation, what you do is you introduce your male LGBT friend to the other male LGBT friends and let them have a long conversation to talk out the sources of their disagreements before engaging in conversation.
But drawing a pretty base line collective from all people in the represented demographic, respectfully learning the majority wants and needs and struggles, and helping voice those is pretty key.
Women can sit here all day, and pass around things they’ve been told by other women are woke points, or things that sound progressive and good, and often sort of decontextualized from their purpose (be that the dresswear mentioned shortly hereafter, or what LGBT want/expect/SHOULD want or expect – but in the end, if you’re not sitting down and having dialogues – not just with one, or two, or even three LGBT men – but large handfuls and subsets, able to actually critically examine the differences in LGBT males of gen X, Y, or Z and their lives and stories – if you’re not doing that… If *that* isn’t the core of your discussion values, rather than pass-along buzz vibes– then you’re really not talking representation. You think you are. But you’re not.
There’s the uh. Thing. You noticed. About how women expect the men to engage.
When it comes to young queer women, I’m going to risk pissing some people off, but the long and short of it is (I could probably dig up the link but it’s been an eternity) a while ago they ran a psychological study to figure out why young women were attracted to yaoi, and gay porn, especially what is essentially stereotypical force-role type gay porn. It has to do with blooming attraction, primal fear, and trying to make the men more appealing in a way that does not intimidate them. 
This later manifests into feminizing them, setting twink/bear roles that go beyond into top/bottom, and conflating it with penetration, position, power, dom/sub, fork/spoon, sometimes served with a dose of internalized misogyny being projected into the vessel of whatever twink/sub is positioned, and generally— like, kink culture. Often this is passed with narrowly progressive-masked arguments of “Men should be allowed to be feminine if they want!” rather than a genuine answer to, “Why do you perpetually heterosexually resize, or reframe, and enforce heterosexual structure onto characters that do not meet this mold, and why is that a personal gain to you?” because in the end– it’s a personal gain. And again, at that point it’s not about representation.
Now again, I’m not… shaming anyone for having a kink. But kink/fetish needs/wants have blurred themselves in as if to hedge on equal territory to discussing canon content. Or sprinkling the quite literal fetishized art (power to you if that’s your thing, I guess, even if I do bear discomfort over fetishization of any LGBT demographic, even by another LGBT demographic) and reasoning with dialogue that implies it as being representative, and inserting that into the representation discussion, which *literally* just makes the entire bog muddier, makes the LGBT men trying to speak more easily dismissed in a vat of “just women/fetishists”, it just– it’s Not a Good. I’m… personally not a fan of it. Like at all. A lot of it makes me angry tbh. So I don’t engage. I don’t browse fanfiction. I look at very little art. 
Hell most of the people around here don’t even realize it’s actually a *minority* of LGBT men that choose to engage in penetrative sex, but it’s become a topic of outright obsession around here. There is so much simple… lack of awareness and discussion of the lives LGBT men lead, even by LGBT women because again – we don’t have your path. We can only listen to you. (And BOY have I gotten earfuls from my LGBT male friends absolutely going apeshit banana bonkers over fandom’s obsession with penetration culture, gender role enforcement while feigning it as liberation, and all kinds of other stuff. And that’s what I base most of my talking points on.)
Because if I’m going to talk representation, I’m going to talk about representing the demographic the character is supposed to represent, not molding him into a tokenized wash-over of every single person’s wants. If you’re an LGBT woman that can resonate with Dean Winchester, that’s great. Sometimes representation can be shared. But a character’s origin determines what demo he represents and not all of any given representative’s character’s attributes, methods, functions, anything – not all of it is going to meet any one person’s goals collectively, but the target demographic is inevitably closer to it.
Another point to raise is that it feels like people have lost track of *what* the representation battle is about. It isn’t just about any one person attaching to any one character. It’s about developing a TVscape that looks more representative of the real world, with a fair presence of PoC, of women, of LGBT people of all types, of the disabled community, of people that are even more than one of these, of people with different stories: people. About, well, normalizing it, because it should be normal. About saturating television enough that one day, and that day will not just be tomorrow per convenience, that people won’t be desperate for representation even vaguely in their wheelhouse, that they can turn on and see people of any intersectional type and go– wow, the world finally realizes we’re real. And that in that wide, realistic menu, yes, being able to turn a channel and eventually see someone *just like you*. A day when any show turned on has at least *someone* in your wheelhouse because every show eventually should have some sort of realistic spread, but if you find the *right* show, *there you are.*
That’s how it’s built. We don’t start by footstomping and tokenizing everyone to be vaguely representative of everyone or it doesn’t count because it didn’t work for *them*. We start by sharing truly diverse narratives, each unique to their own, just as diverse as straight stories are, maybe even more. That’s the only way you’re actually going to end up with a TVscape full of The Gays, and full enough to find *explicitly yourself* in there.
Deleting normalized, non-sensationalist text for lacking either visibility or flavor, even if you weren’t the intended demographic for it to speak to, is quite literally contrary to the entire fight.
and tbh?
This shit is why I hate shipping culture.
And I say that as someone who presumably “ships” Dean and Cas, if it’s shipping to address canon bullshit happening in front of you and just watch the show as it folds out without going into denial for *whatever* personal reason. 
There’s a lot of well intended people, most shipping fandom is full of good beans, but as a collective group – skewed by sociopathically manipulated dialogues we can literally track the origins of – have been driven into much of the above while genuinely believing they were doing the right thing, in a long chain of being told this was what and how to fight for, without really stopping and critically examining the nuance of the conversation. Because why would you? Seems to be the popular gay thing to do – while a lot of bisexual people currently hide their commentary via reblog hashtags or hedge awkwardly into an anon box sideways.
That all said, it continues to be my focus. It will never change on this blog. I will never surrender to being pressured, be it by antis or bitters or people just wanting to argue, into pretending things that were text are subtext. I will not move that goalpost. You are real, and you are valid, and you are welcome in my inbox any time, Nonnie, confidentiality guaranteed. Like, DM too.
but lmao like shit, dawg. There’s a reason the LGBT guys I’ve had as writing partners as Dean literally refuse to play with another Cas. That’s not just because I’m a *super aweSOME auTHOr*, it’s because they recognize I do not come from the wing lost to fanfiction, to troll wars, or even to shipping culture, love of a ship be damned. I don’t try to force gender roles on them. I listen when they speak, and often, surprise many with the angle I ever enter discussion or listening from to begin with, because of spending so many years listening to begin with. It’s an intrinsic understanding of why they resonate with the content, not what I can pull some transformative art stuff on or wanting to *make* it into anything else to fit *my* molds. It’s because of being someone engaged to the male perspective, without the need to twist or change a character to be content with it, and being WILLING to hold those challenging conversations.
Listen first. Talk later. But never in front of or over the people you claim to be talking for.

Strangers ch. 34
Yoongi finds your phone– and so does someone else...
Pairing: Yoongi x (female) Reader
Word count: 1.8k
Genre: fluff, angst
|mlist|
<–– Prev   Next ––>
You force a laugh. “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t lie to me, y/n,” Yoongi says softly, his voice a knife in your back. “These– Jesus.” He exhales sharply as your phone buzzes again, again, again. You would’ve turned your notifications off months ago, but you need Twitter for your jobs. “How long has it been like this?”
@satanhasaholdoffrance: hey @yourname make like a tree and die
@queenynuwu: I hope y/n knows we love her!! <3 @yourname
@gummyyoongi: has anyone found @yourname‘s address yet?
“I don’t know what you mean,” you reply stubbornly. You don’t want your weight on Yoongi’s shoulders, not when you know he’ll blame himself.
“Bullshit. You said this wasn’t happening! You told me that my fans weren’t coming after you.”
“And you never checked,” you reply, your throat tight. “You know what I am. I’m a liar. And you trusted me– that’s your mistake.”
Yoongi flinches. “I know you don’t mean that.”
You begin trembling, your hands and arms and shoulders tensing against your will. “You shouldn’t trust me, Yoongi.” I’ve kept too many secrets from you.
“Well, I do trust you. I know you too well, y/n, and you don’t mean that. But this?” He taps your phone. “This is messed up.”
You take a step back, shrinking into yourself. “I-I’m sorry.”
“What? No. Why are you apologizing?” Yoongi gets up and walks towards you, his eyes intense. “My fans– the stuff they’re saying– that’s what’s messed up. And y/n, I’m so, so sorry this happened. You don’t deserve it.”
“I, uh...” you mumble, confused. Why isn’t he angry at you? You lied to him, again and again and again. “Sorry...”
Yoongi sighs, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. “What are you even apologizing for?”
“I don’t know!” You cry. “I thought you’d be mad at me!”
“I’m not mad at you, y/n-ie.” Yoongi raises his arm and brushes a loose strand of hair out of your face. “I’m just worried. The comments you’re getting, the haters... they’re too much for anyone.”
Your mind drifts to the nightmares, the thoughts that your hate comments have inspired within you.
Yoongi’s gaze darkens, but he’s not looking at you– he’s staring far off, at something beyond. “I’ve seen idols, trainees– friends– that internalized those things, and they didn’t see an escape... no one is equipped to deal with this shit alone, no one.” Yoongi swallows, and his voice wavers. “So don’t try, y/n. You’re not alone, and I can’t lose you.”
You blink hard before drawing back and punching Yoongi in the arm.
“Ow!” Yoongi yelps, rubbing his arm. “What the hell?”
“That’s for being dramatic,” you say, using all your willpower to keep your voice light. “And this–” you poke him in the ribs– “is for being selfish. I don’t wanna lose me either, nerd. It’s not all about you.”
“Sorry, sorry,” Yoongi laughs. “My bad, I almost forgot that you’re a force to be reckoned with.”
“Just don’t let it happen again,” you sniff haughtily.
“I won’t, promise. Hey, do you need a lift to your next job?”
“Nah, I’ll take the bus. I’m not famous like you,” you reply. Besides, you want to be alone with your thoughts.
“Suit yourself. I have to go to the studio anyways.”
“Another BTS comeback already?” You muse, and Yoongi winks.
“Nope.”
~~~
Once Yoongi leaves, you wriggle into another sweater and shrug your coat on over it. You can’t help but feel chilly lately, and you can’t afford to get a cold.
You leave your apartment building and quickly walk towards the bus stop. Your afternoon will be spent on a photoshoot for a new makeup line, and Lisa said you’d be able to keep some of the merchandise.
You adjust your face mask and pop in your earphones, your mind a whirling dervish of thoughts. You imagined Yoongi would be furious– after all, you’d promised no more secrets. You couldn’t help but keep your Twitter mess to yourself, because you didn’t want your friend to stress about it.
Friend... the word seems strange to you, almost wrong.
Well, we’re ‘dating’ now, you think, so I guess he’s my fake-boyfriend instead.
It’s weird; for years you were completely in love with Yoongi, besotted with his face and voice and laugh and lyrics. His shy, goofy nature. His irresistible charm. You remember when you and Lisa would scream together at every new music video, each concept photo, any hint or clue or theory. It seems so long ago now.
Speaking of Lisa... your phone begins buzzing with a call from your manager/friend.
“Y/n, darling, how are you doing? How’s the leg?”
“All healed up now,” you reply, flexing and unflexing your left leg. You lost a lot of blood, but your injury missed all the arteries and important stuff.
“Great. Hey, I lined up a job, it’s yours for the taking if you’re interested. They need an extra in a cologne commercial, it should only be a two-day shoot and we can plan around Moon Over The Sea. What do you think?”
“Yeah, sounds good,” you murmur absentmindedly. “How much does it pay?”
“Pretty well, your cut would be only a little less than you’re making on the makeup shoot today.”
“Alright, sign me up.”
“Great. And... how’s it going with Yoongi?”
You jolt. “What?”
“C’mon, y/n, you can’t expect me not to ask. You’re dating your idol!”
“I-I’m not, really...”
“Oh, shush. It’s official, isn’t it? BigHit confirmed it last week. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me you were together!”
You grit your teeth– you have to tell her the truth. “Lisa, seriously, it’s not real.”
“I know, I bet it totally feels like a fairy tale, huh? I’m so jealous.” Lisa’s voice gets quieter, pouty. “We have to hang out soon, it’s been ages since we’ve had a proper gossip sesh!”
“But...”
“No buts! I’m ordering you as your manager to hang out with your best friend... who is also your manager... who is also me.”
You can’t help but laugh. “Yes ma’am, just pencil me in.”
“Will do! See you soon.”
“See ya.
Humming to yourself, you continue your bus ride, arriving at the studio a few minutes early. A fashionable young man strides up to you bearing shorts and a shirt.
“Ah, you’re here. L/n y/n, right? Perfect, perfect, put these on and we’ll get you straight into hair and makeup.”
“Uhh...” you examine the outfit he gave you. “Are you sure this is for me?”
“Of course I am, what are you talking about?”
“It’s black, these shorts are made of leather, and...” you trail off, gulping. “It’s all very tight.” That’s right, clothes like these will only hug the curves you don’t have. You’re not a sex icon like some of the female idols you’ve seen Yoongi with on TV. You know as someone in the entertainment industry, you’re supposed to be fashionable– but you’re too much a fan of oversized sweaters and soft pants to let them go. “I don’t know if this outfit suits me.”
“Nonsense, you’re beautiful– you just need the confidence! Besides, you’re gonna have to get used to this type of stuff if you want to get anywhere in your career,” the man chuckles. “Changing room is over there. When you’re ready, head to hair and makeup.”
“R-right,” you mumble, taking the clothes. They look so cold, you shiver just thinking about putting them on.
Ten minutes later, you stare at yourself in the mirror. Staring back at you seems to be a child, a little girl who doesn’t belong, who can barely fill out the tight crop top or shorts. And you’re supposed to be dating Yoongi? You don’t know if you want to laugh or cry. Yoongi deserves better, someone prettier, smarter, who looks like they belong at his side. In your mind’s eye, you can see Yoongi next to you in the mirror– black-haired, a brow raised, his mouth quirking upwards in a lazy smirk. He looks like a prince, a god, and you look like you’re playing dress-up next to him. No wonder so many people are upset; you’re doing Yoongi no favors by being with him.
You sigh and shake your head. You’re cold, so cold, and you hate it. You turn away from the mirror to get your hair and makeup done.
“Okay, can you give me a little lip bite? Something cheeky? Oh, perfect! Yes, hold like that!” The camera flashes while you sit frozen in place. “Cross your legs now, hold the lipstick closer to your face... can you give me bedroom eyes?”
Face flushed, you lower your lashes and pout your lips like you’ve seen real models do, and the camera flashes again and again. The lipstick you’ve got on is a brighter red than you’ve ever dared to wear, and combined with the outfit and your bold eyeliner, you look a little edgy.
“Great, y/n, you’re doing wonderfully. We need one more photo for the spread...” the photographer looks around the photo studio, which is a rather minimalist set. “Can someone get me that chair? Y/n, sit on it backwards and try for a smirk– like an ‘I’m-better-than-you’ face.”
But I’m not. Still you try, channeling your inner Seokjin as you fix the camera with your best downward stare, and then half smiling as though you’ve got a secret– which you do, too many to count. Half a dozen shots later, you’re dismissed with the promise that the money will be wired to your account by Friday.
The next morning, you wake up to the familiar buzzing of your notifications, again and again and again. You haven’t overslept, have you? No, your clock informs you that it’s not even six AM. You groan and flip your phone over to read your new mentions.
@beautyoftheseoul: Check out our new line of matte lipsticks, modeled by #MoonOverTheSea’s @yourname!
@chimyoongles: Omg @2460sunshine did you see that @yourname liked a yoongi thirst tweet? Lmaooo I’m dying she’s rly all of us
@scarletwitchisjunghoseok: I think I love @yourname now that she’s exposed herself as an army lololol
@captainkookie21: why are ppl stanning @yourname for her fuckup lol it just goes to show what a liar and a slut she is.
You blink sleepily. You liked a tweet about Yoongi? You’ve been careful about doing that ever since you became a public figure, in case Yoongi noticed. You tap through your likes and gasp:
@slutfordionysus: rt if you want Suga to crush you between his thighs, like if you want him to use his tongue technology on you ;)
Oh, fuck. You never liked that. You’ve never even seen that tweet. Which means... you’ve been hacked?

wait !! a couple of days ago u rb that thing asking ppl to send u idols and u would name ur 3 fav things abt them and u mentioned ur ult and i meant to ask ur top 3 things abt them and then Forgot but !! if u still wanna i am curious as to what ur top 3 things abt them are !! i also feel kinda bad for not knowing who it is ! :/
Omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg My heart just fucking parkoured or something 😂
Kim Taehyung is my ult! Since BTS was my first kpop group, they've been my ult group ever since. And Tae was the first my eyes landed on and since then, he's remained my ult. He means a lot to me, and I've learned so much about myself because of him, so here's a list of 3 (or more!) of my fave things about TaeTae!!!
1. Family oriented. I cannot help but love how family oriented he is. I can't relate, because my family sucks and so I'm pretty detached from all of that, but he really loves his family. He'd win prizes at variety shows (when they did that) and save them for his parents, he loves kids and would be sucha kind and comforting father, and of course the way he loved his grandmother. That last one I have to bring up, because it kinda shocked me how impacted he was by her death. Back then, I couldn't imagine shedding a tear for some of my grandparents. It really made me reevaluate how I thought about my family and grandparents. Now, I care more for my nana and papaw. Like I said, I was reaaaally detached from any sense of family. Tae is so loving and giving, and I seriously hope he will find/has found someone who he can love and who can love him wholeheartedly.
2. Humor. I absolutely love Tae's humor. He can make jokes with such a serious face, which makes it even funnier! For example, when asked what his favorite lyric from their (BTS') songs was, he said with a straight face 'set it on fire bow wow wow.' There are so many other examples of how funny he is, but I'm gonna limit myself or this would be veeeeeery long 😅
2.1. His acting. I love him??? I love that him and Jimin will randomly reenact or make up scenes and just. Act them out? And the other members either go about what they're doing or look like their three seconds away from being like, 'Right in front of my salad?' I'm hoping he'll get another drama role, because man. I'd love to see more of his acting. I also love that he uses this to his advantage 😂 Idk if you've seen any Run eps, but Run!BTS is wiiiiild. They fight over gift cards and food as if they aren't wearing accessories and clothes more expensive than cars (*ahem* J-Hope wearing an 80,000$ watch in front of a 70,000$ car...) One of my favorite things is when Tae very casually convinces the others that he's not up to anything, and they always believe him no matter how many times he does this XD Like that one Run! ep where they had to get stickers or something onto the other members backs, and Tae went up to Jimin and pretended to help him fix the thing on his back while places so many stickers on and... Jimin just let him. He even said something along the lines of 'I trust you so I'm showing you my back' and 'Thank you for helping me.' Like... Bruuuuuh it's cute that you trust Tae but 👀 he had an agenda 😂😂😂 the end, when Jimin found out, was so fucking funny. Tae really played his soulmate like that lmao
2.2 And! How you can always trust him to show how the group entirely is feeling. Like in interviews and stuff. Tae absolutely doesn't mess around. He's very true to himself, and doesn't put up with stupid questions. He doesn't like people who are clearly clout chasers and people who use BTS' name and pretend they love them but. Often times they're just racist and using BTS for followers. It sucks, because ARMY don't want to hype up someone who's using BTS' name, so we kinda all look to Tae at this point. Any good (or even decent) interviewer will be able to get Tae engaged in the interview and smiling. Gosh, a recent interviewer called ARMY insane and the members reactions to that... We're BTS' everything just as they are ours. Calling us insane is the quickest way to BTS' shit list. But, I just think it's really nice be able to gave the group's overall mood through Tae. He can gauge a person's bad vibes reaaaal quick lmao 😂
3. His dancing!!! I got into BTS and kpop around... 2? 3 years ago? Anyways, it was a few months before Tear comeback on May 18th. If I ever lose all of my memories I have no doubt I'd remember that comeback date before my own birthday. That was when he officially became a part of the dance line. I always differentiate dance lines styles of dance like this: Hobi is powerful, Jimin is graceful, Jungkook is bold, and Taehyung is subtle. Tae really mastered this art of subtle movements and expressions. His Singularity performances are always different in some way; he fully expresses the lyrics and song with his movements and it's so fascinating to watch him dance. He is a dancer that continuously gets better, even when it seems like he has reached top of the mountain. Tbh it was mainly his dancing that drew me to him. I got into kpop the year after I'd had to quit dance, and at that time I'd fallen out of love with it. The way Tae dances helped rekindle my love for dance, because watching him is almost magical. I absolutely love watching him dance! He's a phenomenal dancer!!!
3.1. He's cute 😖 I have to bring this up. He is c u t e. He eats in pout and has this cute and quirky happy dance he does and he likes cuddling someone to sleep well and he drinks too much water when he's nervous and his smile is boxy like a rectangle and he has an elephant on his arm and he can't drink coffee and he is very artistic and loves to paint or draw on his clothes and adapt his fashion to suit him and he loves artwork and classical musicians and he posts blurry pictures of funny faces for ARMY and he likes photography and if we ask about Yeontan (his dog) he'll post cute pictures of Tannie and his eyes shine with love and adoration for BTS and ARMY because we're his everything. This kinda went from 'cute' to 'I lomve him and here's just a few reasons why' but that's okay XD
At first, newer ARMYs only had older content to help them learn about BTS. Each member had one characteristic that became all they were, and it became harmful and toxic. For Tae, he was the weird alien. People didn't understand him. Thankfully, these views have worn away over time, and there's newer content that helps new ARMY learn who BTS really are. But I started out seeing these views. And, honestly, I really resonated with the 'weird alien' characteristic. That was how I'd been viewed my whole life, so to see how people have come to understand him and love him as wonderful and quirky as he is really makes me happy. He's someone I really relate to and he's helped me love and express myself more.
I don't talk about him much on here, but that's mostly because what is there to say? I love him so very much, but I don't need to express that all of the time. For him it just. Is. This barely scratches the surface of how much I love him and how important he is to me. He makes me happy, so I hope he is happy often. I hope knows how loved he is. So... Yeah 😅 This definitely got longer than I intended but I wasn't kidding when I said I'd totally need more than 3 points for my favorite things about my ult bias 😂😂😂
Thank you for asking!!! And, I hope you were able to make it to the bottom of me gushing over Tae 😂 💚💚💚

jukebox!!
greaser!seokmin x waitress!you
Tumblr media
THE PERFECT GIF
inspo: seokmin during booseoksoon's 'just do it' and call call call promos
seokmin studies at the diner on the corner of the street, ordering a single milkshake everyday he’s there and choosing his favorite song from the jukebox
tbh, lee seokmin shouldn't even be in the SVT gang to begin with
he fell into it by accident bc he was jeonghan's assigned mentee from a mentorship program at school and jeonghan called him as a last resort when he and joshua needed help with something
so he did so, and when seungcheol offered him a spot in SVT, he accepted it bc he's loyal and devoted to his mentor and friends, no matter what trouble they're causing
bc now they're in it together!
SVT are the greasers that run the eastern part of town, organizing bike races, causing mayhem and chaos, basically acting as delinquents in school and in town
it's kinda a surprise to everyone at school that seokmin's a part of SVT, but with SVT second-in-command yoon jeonghan as his assigned mentor and his friends being in SVT as well, it was only a matter of time
seokmin's typically tagging stuff with hansol and soonyoung or riding his bike into the school parking lot with mingyu and minghao
he's tried to study with the rest of the guys before their meetings but they're all so loud and rambunctious that he needs his own study space
after classes, seokmin frequents this one specific diner near the eastern/western border of the town for one thing and one thing only: strawberry milkshakes
he gets his favorite strawberry milkshake with the perfect dollop of whipped cream and a shiny red cherry on top while he studies in a corner booth right next to the jukebox, where he can easily slip in a quarter into the machine and request his favorite songs to hum as he does his homework
the diner's patrons love love love hearing him sing as he re-writes his chem notes, his own high notes reaching every corner of the diner till he's met with a small chorus of applause
it's not until afterwards when they notice the back of his leather jacket do their breaths hitch and the whispers start circulating around the room
you don't really know why that happens tho
you just notice no matter what, the man who always orders the same strawberry milkshake everyday wears his leather jacket with pride everyday
you’ve been working at the diner for awhile now, since you just moved into town with your family
and your eyes always catch the handsome man sitting by his lonesome in the same booth by the jukebox
and you want to say something to him, but nothing comes to mind when you stop by his table except, "enjoy your milkshake" and he gives you a small smile and a grateful "thank you" back
your co-worker seungkwan always tries to hype you up to get you to say anything to seokmin
bc he's in seokmin's choir class and knows that he's a super sweet guy who would like you back
so bc you're not very good at articulating your words, you decide to write on the back of his receipt instead
you decide write something simple: 'you have a beautiful voice:) -(y/n)'
you give seokmin his receipt after he pays and he thanks you, pocketing the scrap of paper and exiting the diner with his backpack
when you walk back to seungkwan, he just scolds for you being too subtle whilst saying you have to do something bold and get his attention
but you're not all into being bold and brash (hahahaha) so you brush off your crush as just being that: a harmless crush
it's not until seokmin's at home and he's emptying his jacket pockets does he notice your note
he saves it in his notebook and it definitely sets his mood for the entire day:)
when he ventures over to the diner the next day, he recognizes you standing at the jukebox with a quarter in your hands
you're perusing the jukebox's library when someone taps your shoulder, scaring you and making you drop the coin
"sorry!" seokmin drops down and gets the coin for you, handing it back to you
he glances at the catalogue set on the very last page, "hard time choosing a song?"
you nod, "especially since I have never heard of most of these"
"you've never?" seokmin's surprised, but he smiles warmly at you, "I guess we're gonna have to fix that!"
he fishes around in his backpack and pulls out a little coin purse, entering his own quarters in the machine and pressing in combination after combination for several songs, "these first few are my personal favorite, then I'm just setting the jukebox to play other tracks I like"
you nod and you ask him what song to use your quarter for, "save it for when you find a song you really like" 
he slides into his usual booth and you pocket the quarter, choosing to take his advice
"so, just a strawberry milkshake then?" you ask him expectantly, shooting him a wide smile
"yes please" seokmin nods as he pulls out his notebook and study material
you put in his order and wait on other tables, helping an elderly couple two booths down and a rowdy bunch of guys seokmin recognizes from another school at a table near his own
the group of rowdy guys continue to shout above the music from the jukebox, jeering at each other and catcalling at you when you walk by
you try to your hardest to be polite and tell them to keep it down as to not disrupt the other diners, but they brush off your warnings 
and seokmin's just trying to study and listen to the music, especially since he wanted to you to listen to the songs he loves too but he can clearly see that the boys are making you v uncomfortable
so he goes up to the table and asks them to either keep it down and stop catcalling you or apologize to everyone and leave the diner asap
seokmin pulls all his moves from when he's seen seungcheol and jihoon act intimidating to other rude ppl when they're out and about
he also makes sure to take his time walking back to his own table, letting the boys stare in shock at the SVT initials on the back of his jacket
needless to say, the boys pay their bill and leave right when you come back from the kitchen with seokmin's milkshake, all the boys bowing to you in apology and cowering from seokmin's glare
when you appear at his table, his glare melts into a cheerful smile, "thank you (y/n)!"
you then help the elderly couple at their booth, who both have been watching everything go down, "excuse me miss, can I pay for that boy's milkshake? tell him that the world needs more people like him" the old man smiles
you nod to him, "sure, let me fix your bill for you" 
on the couple's way out, the elderly man tips his hat at seokmin, who gives him a bright smile but is terribly confused on the inside
when you venture back to seokmin, he's ready to pay for his bill when you show him the paid receipt and relay him the man’s message to him, "they said that the world needs more people like you"
the message clicks in seokmin's head and he looks down at his notebook modestly, "oh"
and of course, you've already caught on to what the old man meant, "thank you for helping me deal with those boys"
he immediately shakes his head, "oh! no no no, it's no big deal! you just looked uncomfortable and they were being jerks to you and—"
"no, it really means a lot to me, thank you..." you assure your gratitude to him with a kind smile and you pause for his name
and now seokmin's just staring at you bc wow your smile is really beautiful and the sunlight from the blinds make your hair shine and your eyes sparkle and wait, were you asking for his name? shoot—"oh! sorry, I'm seokmin!"
"I'm (y/n), nice to meet you" 
a light bulb goes off in his head, "(y/n)! you wrote me that note!" he pulls out the receipt from his notebook and you blush now
"I did write that, yes"
"I'm sure you have a beautiful voice too" you shake your head no, but seokmin disagrees with you, "you do! just listening to you right now, I can tell you have a beautiful voice, are you sure you're not an angel?"
okay, that was something he definitely learned from his mentor jeonghan and now you're DEFINITELY flushed
you don't know what to do at this point but you hear the jukebox stop playing music, "ah, the jukebox! it stopped! I-I should play something!"
seokmin chuckles at you and helps you choose more songs to play, using his own money again and packing up his things
"I'll see you tomorrow, (y/n)?"
you smile at him, "with one strawberry milkshake ready for you"
seokmin's on cloud nine the rest of his night
even when he's out with hansol and joshua tagging buildings and whatnot, all he can do is draw little hearts as you cross his mind
as the next couple of days roll by, you've developed a love for a lot of the songs on the jukebox
specifically all of the songs that seokmin recommends
and all the love songssss;)
seungkwan notices the little skip in your step as you wait on tables while the same five songs from the jukebox play
he nudges your elbow as he punches in another receipt on the register when you're next to him, "you're staring at the door again"
 you straighten up next to him, trying to find something to fuss with instead of staring at the entrance for seokmin to come in, "am not"
"you are too, and I'm getting tired of the same songs playing, would it kill you to change it up? I get that they're all seokmin's favorites, but he's not here right now"
"fineeee"
when seokmin does come in, seungkwan tries to joking go to his table to serve him, but you race over instead
seokmin's order is still the same and you try to stop by his table as much as you can without getting in trouble or neglecting other customers
he always sings out loud to the songs you've tuned on the jukebox and it brings such a smile to your face to hear him sing
gosh you love his voice
you both bond over music really well and when the diner's empty and it's just you and seokmin (and seungkwan occasionally), you all sing out loud and dance around the diner
you always write on the back of seokmin's receipts still, trying to make the note different each time 
'how much does a polar bear weigh? enough to break the ice! I hope this makes you smile! -(y/n)'
'the ladies at the counter are talking about how handsome you are, and I have to agree ahaha -(y/n)'
'you sing everything so well, how!! -(y/n)'
'have you ever tried anything different at this diner? hahah -(y/n)'
'these milkshakes are as sweet as you -(y/n)'
gosh, who is the actual greaser? him or you?? who knows ahah
seokmin saves all of these receipts in his notebook and they've become one of his most treasured items
his small crush on you during the beginning of your relationship has developed into a major major crush on you
and your so-called harmless crush has snowballed into you liking seokmin so much you can’t get him out of your head
and bc you’re way more confident on paper than in person, you decide to ask him out through your receipt notes!
that same day, you deliver your receipt to seokmin just as one of the members from SVT rushes past you and grabs his arm
seokmin is surprised to see chan at the diner, but all he mutters is "emergency meeting!" and he packs up his papers, stuffing your receipt in his notebook quickly
"sorry (y/n)!" he waves to you and leaves abruptly with his friend, making you slightly worried, but seungkwan assures you it's probably nothing serious
and honestly, it is nothing bc mingyu and wonwoo got into a fight with some guys of the west side gangs, but they're all well-rounded fighters so no major injuries occurred
but now there's a bike race going on between them and the other gang
"seokmin, are you listening?" seungcheol asks him, waving his hand in front of his zoned out state
"yes! I'm listening!" seokmin tunes back in and seungcheol continues on, "does anyone have a piece of paper I can borrow?"
seokmin pulls out his notebook and doesn't even notice your most recent note fall out, tearing out a clean sheet for seungcheol and stuffing his notebook back in his backpack
for awhile, seokmin doesn't return to the diner bc of the preparations for the race, making you even more worried that your note scared him off or made things awkward between you two
but when he does come back, everything is in perfect harmony like it was before, making you think he did read your note, but he obviously turned you down
so you try to move past it as best as you can, but you're still sad on the inside, which seokmin can kinda tell just by looking into your eyes
seokmin is super surprised to see his mentor sitting in his usual booth when he enters the diner, "jeonghan! what are you doing here?"
"just wanted to see where you get away to everyday before our meetings" jeonghan fusses with a toothpick, "why do you come here everyday?"
"I study here, that's it" seokmin answers, "I come here for the peace and quiet"
jeonghan raises an eyebrow at the words 'peace and quiet,' wordlessly pointing out the noisy jukebox next to him belting another song (his favorite song actually) and the sizzle and hissing of the grill behind the kitchen, while seungkwan and you take the orders of other customers in the diner with such vibrancy and pep
"okay, I come for the milkshakes"
"hi seokmin, your usual" seokmin beams a smile at you as his milkshake is set down on the table
"thank you (y/n)" his eyes trail after you as you go to other tables, jeonghan clearing his throat with a obvious cough, "so you come here for that cute waitress?"
"(y/n) is just a friend"
"do you like her?"
seokmin ponders it for a moment before a smile spreads on his face, he can’t lie to his mentor, his older brother figure, "yes, yes I do like her"
"do you think she likes you?" seokmin shakes his head, mumbling a "no" before changing it to an unconfident "maybe?"
"seokmin, she definitely likes you" jeonghan plucks the cherry off the whipped cream and into his mouth 
seokmin frowns and pulls his shake closer to him protectively
"no other waitress writes little notes on the back of receipts for you. I saw all the receipts in your notebook, they're cute and affectionate love notes" jeonghan flicks the small piece of paper towards him, "you probably didn’t even read the back of this receipt" 
seokmin reads the note from you asking him out and his mouth forms the shape of an 'O' 
'seokmin, would you like to go out on a date? possibly, tomorrow night? if not, that's okay! you can ignore this and I'll forget I even wrote this! -(y/n)'
"don’t come to the meeting tonight" jeonghan removes the cherry stem (a perfectly knotted stem) from his mouth, "I'll tell seungcheol you're studying for an exam"
he claps seokmin on the shoulder and exits the diner as you go over to seokmin and ask if he's alright bc this boy is still in disbelief
"yES! uh, yes! I'm alright!" seokmin clears his throat, "(y/n)! will you go out with me tonight?"
"huh? yes, of course, is something happening?" 
the bells go off in seokmin’s head as he grins madly, "perfect! meet me outside the diner at 7! what you’re wearing is fine!" he rushes out the door and now you’re the one in shock and disbelief
by the time 7pm rolls around, the sun is setting and you’re kinda getting cold just standing outside for seokmin to arrive
and without avail, the man of your dreams the hour rolls into the parking lot on his bike, taking off his helmet (safety first!) and offering you a helping hand on his bike
you climb aboard and hold on to seokmin tightly as he brings you to the more abandoned part of town, where there’s plenty of tagged buildings and such
seokmin pulls up to one particular building and covers your eyes as you get off the bike, "I obviously sing better than I draw, but ta da!"
and on the side of the building is a picture of what looks to be the outside of the diner? complete with a little ‘open’ sign and everything??
he guides you along to another wall where he painted a fake jukebox and his fake corner booth complete with a milkshake on the table but with two straws in the shake
and there below the faux jukebox is a picnic set for two ppl with candles set up on the concrete and a small stereo with your favorite songs playing
"I wanted to stay inside the diner, but you must get tired of being there everyday so, I re-created it here! it’s not exactly the same—I mean this might be illegal? and the paint is still kinda fresh—but it’s drying and I tried fixing us up something but it’s not exactly perfect—"
you laugh as seokmin rambles on, "seokmin, this is wonderful!" your heart is racing bc my goshhh it’s like a scene from a film! "no one’s ever gone through the trouble of doing all of this for me, thank you"
seokmin grins and you two eat the picnic dinner with all the romantic songs playing in the background, eventually laying down on the blanket together and staring up at the stars
you start singing along to the music and seokmin nearly falls asleep bc your voice is so soothing
a small snore escapes his lips and you nudge him bc you think you’re boring him with your singing
"just the opposite, told you you had the voice of an angel, angel" he winks just as you roll your eyes
he shrugs off his jacket and put it on your shoulders as you shiver, making you drown in his warmth and smell of his cologne
when seokmin takes you back home, he wraps his hand in yours and lingers on your doorstep for the longest time
he pouts as you try to pull away from him even when you don’t want to, "do you really have to go back to heaven?"
"still with the angel stuff?"
"baby, you are my angel"
ending notes: lee seokmin always goes to the diner for the milkshakes, but stays for you and your angelic voice (even if you don’t think so)

- ̗̀ * ( liana liberato + cisfemale + she/her ) have you seen ( saige beaumont ) walking around campus ? they are a ( 20 ) year old, studying ( linguistics + criminal psychology ). we hear they are in ( theta sigma eta ), and can be ( passionate & irrational ), maybe it’s because they are a ( cancer ). they sort of remind us of ( drunk stick n' pokes at 2am, avoiding cracks in the sidewalk, the familiar riff of an old song ), maybe we can find out more ! ( jamesy the fool + 20 + EST + she/they ) * ̖́- + newspaper photographer, campus tour, swim
Tumblr media
lmao hi here’s my final baby she is the love of my life i’ve known her for 8 years i think and she’s come a long way sdfkgh please love her as much as i love her. if i was fictionkin i’d identify solely with her (and she’s not even a self insert ! wow !) **IM STILL ON HAITUS UNTIL MONDAY BUT I HAD THIS READY TO GO LMAO**
TW: ALCOHOLISM, DRUG ABUSE? MENTIONS.
gen. info
full name: saige alouette beaumont
nickname(s): she...doesn’t have any in this timeline but PLEASE, she LOVES nicknames. she’s a nickname slut.
b.o.d. - july 7th, 20 whole yrs old.
label(s): the hedonist, the icarcian, the reveler, etc. etc.
height: 5′7″ thank u very much !!
hometown: thibodaux, louisiana
sexuality: firstly when aren’t my babies bi as FUCK (minus aster). but she also prefers masc-presenting folks
biography
the only child of a world renown fashion designer named manon lévêsque (surname kept b/c Branding) and US lieutenant general robert beaumont
manon’s brand is like...on the level of chanel, and dior, and shit, y’know??
manon’s...obv french, very french. born n raised in france. 
robert beaumont comes from a very southern family, all located in louisana. also french, just more...american.
they’re fucking loaded
saige’s childhood wasn’t the...Usual, childhood. they moved around a lot as due to both of her parents’ jobs. (’cos robert wasn’t ALWAYS a 4-star army man smh)
the longest they’ve rly stayed in one place (minus saige’s ucla yrs) is like...two yrs, tops ??
due 2 that she didn’t rly make...a lotta friends?
but when she DID , it was always the most interesting ppl she could find
but her parents were always SUPER strict
it was like they came together purely to mold the perfect child
like, they controlled where she went! what she wore! who she interacted with! what she watched or read or listened to!
she’d have bodyguards on her when her parents were busy, not nannies
she was taught all the proper things ladies were to learn, like cooking and sewing and ballroom dancing, and more
she was also taught how to drop a man to his knees in less than 10 seconds and how to shoot a gun, but that was it in terms of self defense skdfgh
eventually saige got bored with a life of being carefully watched and attending military balls and fashion runways
how do u surround a girl w/ so much culture and expect her to not want to experience life for what it is?
she learned how to dodge guards in order to go canoeing in the full moon with strangers she’d met five hrs prior, and how to blend in at festivals filled with throat-melting sweet drinks
she almost landed in a tabloid at the age of 15 for sneaking out w/ a boy three years older and her parents paid a lot of money to hide it.
no matter how much they tried to keep her rooted, saige always found a way to bend the rules and escape her lil golden cage
like they even had her homeschooled w/ the best tutors one could pay for n she still yeeted tf out whenever she could
born for the party life t b h
they decided that the best course of action to deal w/ her was to finally keep her in one place so they p much made her go to ucla lmao
homegirl did NOT want to go at first, just ‘cos she HATES being rooted to one place, is used to traveling the world and seeing shit and learning other cultures n shit, y’know ??
but then she joined theta sigma eta lmao n the parties ??
fucking amazing
it didn’t take a lot for her to be convinced to stay, esp ‘cos her parents didn’t quite realize...how big the party scene is
(not like they could’ve sent her to like...harvard or smth...homegirl’s smart but not THAT smart lmaooo)
unfortunately, saige has piss poor self control; and this was too much freedom for her. she was being Too Wild
anyWays the summer before her current year (i ... think she’s a sophomore ?) she went to a particularly wild party and somehow ended up at one of her mother’s collection launch parties w/ a pal of hers !!
and she totally embarrassed her mom !! in front of everybody !! being lil’ ol drunk n freshly 20 yr old !
after that saige was NOT welcomed at home (wherever home was, at the moment, that is). she wasn’t DISOWNED ‘cos that’d be HORRIBLE for the press n god, imagine the media ?? it would worsen it all
but she wasn’t allowed at home. wasn’t allowed with them. wasn’t allowed to see them unless at events they specifically ordered her to come to for press reasons
doesn’t really...know where she’s going to go in the summer ‘cos the summer she Fucked Up she lived out of hotel suites and friend’s couches. n like yeah she can just Buy a place or smth but ?? commitment ?? adult decisions ?? christ !
nobody knows her parents have essentially kicked her tf out and aren’t even talkin’ to her, ‘cos homegirl’s ashamed
it isn’t rly hard to hide it tho ‘cos her parents still give her a shit ton of money LMAO rich privilege
but it can’t fix how absolutely hurt she is
the alcohol , however, COULD
started partying more, and more intensely, and didn’t stop when the parties did
alcohol became part of her diet.
irish cream in her mornin’ coffee, coke n rum at lunch, vodka and like...23 packets of crystal lite in her hydro flask during lectures
without alcohol, she suffers terrible withdraws and those turn her into a completely different person
noBoDy KnoWs
or if they do, they don’t realize the extent of it! just how bad it is! ‘cos she’s a big ol’ faker
she’s fine it’s FINE
personality
i actually have...traits i’ve written for her
positive traits:
kindhearted, optimistic, energetic, dreamy, charismatic, intelligent (to...a degree, lmao), active, charismatic, sympathetic, amiable
negative traits:
naive, dumb (to...a degree, double lmao), self-destructive, spiteful, stubborn, defensive, inattentive, unstable, loud, reckless
but ANYWAYS
if she wants to do smth, she’ll do it

‘cos she’s stupid and we love her for it

hey man your comic stuff?? fucking amazing do you have any tips for a novice child artist such as myself
hmm!!! thats a good question if i have any advice at all…i dont really draw things in comic form that often because of how slow i am…its a whole project for me lol
also natch im just an amateur at all of this vs people who like…pay attention to how to do things really well and/or draw comics on a regular schedule &/or get paid for it and all. so seeing this i was immediately trying to think of like, advice ive seen from random professionals on twitter & stuff & i’ve tried to moreso shake it down to the stuff I’M actually doing when i draw a comic. which is a bit tricky because of my small sample size & the fact that i dont have any kind of consistent process or technique unifying all the comic-type stuff i draw
like sometimes its just a few floating sequential drawings and other times is definitely more like, really thinking of it in terms of how i’m going to structure it in Comic Form & use the format to adjust my presentation of whatever idea i have
like i know ppl whose Job (officially or just by their own standards) to do a bunch of comics pages will do a script of scenes to decide what goes on what page and sort dialogue / action into panels & describe how things will look etc…and then do like maybe really rough layout pre-sketches, then the first rough sketch for a page, an optional more cleaned up sketch layer on top of that, and then the final lineart
i sorrrt of do a version of that, in that i am generally sitting on a Comic Idea for a while before i even start getting into the business of thinking through how it’ll actually work. i have to make sure that im “committed” enough to the idea to wanna make more than one drawing for it, and that i think i have at least a vague notion of how i could put it into a comic. sometimes i DO end up just putting the notion into a single drawing or condensing it into like, 2-3 lil floating drawings or w/e. coz a lot of the times the idea starts out really vague, often with one “moment” that serves as the whole inspiration & that i then try to build a scene/sequence around….a lot of the details beyond that can be really vague in my mind, like the setting or dialogue or who’s involved or what happens or the pacing or extra events or etc…basically Everything is real amorphous for a while
so yea step 1 is me having this one idea and trying to decide if building a scene around it would be a better way to present it vs just having one drawing, & if i think i can actually effectively carry it out….which is in reality even less fancy than it sounds…i just sit on an idea for a while & never get around to actually focusing on it / putting down any of the thoughts abt it that im formulating. but the upshot of me putting it off for forever is that i do end up with a kind of mental script / layout for a comic before i start it…..but even the extensiveness / format of these unwritten scripts varies a lot for me
like, a few times when i have made something that’s maybe longer than just one page &/or something ive been mulling over for an extra long amt of time (which tends to be stuff that is starting out w/ heavier than usual ideas) i’ll like, actually write down what happens page by page, even plan out specific panels, maybe even put down a few rough sketches of certain parts. i’ll have the Main Moment which is the idea that started the whole thing in the first place, but what tends to happen is i’ll come up w other moments that i think could lead up to / frame / follow the main moment, and i pretty much just decide how they all fit into one cohesive piece. so what my “rough drafts” look like for these more extensively planned ones—still really not that exhaustive, i only put things to paper when im basically done enough w my ideas to be just about ready to start actually making them—can vary in their actual formats (e.g. simple chronological bullet points of events, a few drawings, a rough sketch of how the whole thing might look), the core of it is basically just me finding a way to nail down how i’m going to arrange the Moments i have and how i’m going to lead one into the other…….like for things with enough pages / panels, i’ll tend to focus on which Moment will end each page &/or each line of panels, then have an idea of which other Moments i’ll need to put on which of those pages, and kinda figure out how to pace things
again that all sounds like maybe i have a real process…..I Do Not
im kinda lucky in that i think i have a decent sense for composition without having to struggle over it too much. so a lot of times i can leave a lot of that up to be felt out as im actually doing the rough lineart for the first time. i also often don’t nail down panel arrangement that carefully & also make it up as i go along a bit, which is probably not something anyone should emulate. someone was saying something about how some certain page layout of like, 3-something-something panel rows looks best, i dont know. i’m guessing, as with all things, nobody can say “always do this / never do that,” but i think staggering odd/even numbers of panels in each row is always a good guess. just makes it easier for them to read more distinctly at least, surely
sometimes i DO think about certain panels when i wanna frame a certain “shot” in a very specific way. but im just kind of doing whatever. i know vague rules like that wide shots / negative space slows down the pace, vs tightly cropped / small panels / packed w a lot of visual info tends to read as a faster pace, more chaotic. i dont quite go too wild about that sort of thing tho, because for me as a reader, a lot of times really tight shots that are like cutting between 5000 different angles rly fast all in a row, sometimes it is absolutely unreadable to me, as in i do not understand the visual info at all. it feels like the equivalent of how action movie editing keeps hanging on to the “incoherency = intensity” vs just me tuning out until the scene is over & missing details b/c i just am not getting anything out of it
thats not much of a factor for me coz i dont really ever do things with extended sequences of movement / action or whatever. i’ll keep things in one place. i’ll like to do smaller, “quicker” panels moreso to like, show simultaneousish details / to extend one moment…..occasionally i do Big Panels for a moment of higher intensity / impact too. btw putting a High Intensity moment in a super tiny panel is always really funny for the contrast of it all. i dont think ive ever done it, but it is
ummm…….also planning where your speech bubbles will go is good. i dont do that enough, but i should. most of the reason i dont have a more proper, organized process to anything i draw is that i just dont have the focus / patience to slow down for More Planning vs just going ahead and drawing it. jokes on me, since some quick vague planning can make it a lot easier on yourself vs just diving in and struggling w something for ages
uhhh also since im not that fantastic or mindful of panel layout? sometimes i’ll make a point of just having uniform rectangle panels of the same size/shape, so i only have to really worry about the layout within the frame. this is mostly good obv for things with not that much shift in pacing throughout it or action or whatever…you lose the advantage of how panel sizes can affect the tone of a shot or something & probably cant get that detailed in ur drawings but that is often Fine By Me
when i do use the uniform rectangle structure though, i kinda have to focus more on each individual panel, vs like, knowing ok, these three moments are going on this page, i have a vague idea of what’ll connect them, just make up the individual panels as you go along. this does mean that i have to kinda think more about what justifies each panel….how its different from the ones before & after it or how i might want it to be similar to “hold” a shot for a beat or w/e or draw focus to a small movement, what’s actually going into each panel, if i can/should condense two panels into one, etc. its still a lot of playing it by ear, i dont have solid rules of how i think i should do it each time
even when i do have a like whole plan for something im drawing i’ll often make more changes as im actually making it. sometimes its deciding something would be more effective, sometimes it’s just “hey this would work too & be easier,” and thats definitely fine. nobody knows the change you made, and Easier isn’t necessarily Worse anyways. convenience is good where you can get it
ive also definitely had specific comic artists formatting/framing styles in mind when i specifically wanted to use that while drawing my own stuff. like the way i’ll draw maybe a kind of horror vibe (more diagonal lines / “fractured” panels than i’d normally use, quick tiny shots of different smaller details, that kinda stuff) is gonna be different from when its a calm & quiet tone. where i dont really get too creative with the panels really & keep them pretty steady
and then that one time i did a largely nonsequential sort of panel collage b/c the marge simpson anime gave me great inspiration for how to combine & present a bunch of vague notions i had floating around all into one page. it was a good accomplishment & thats unsurprising because the inspiration i was using was That Good. thank god we can all benefit from each others good ideas and knowledge & work & all that. it does help to jump on a feeling of “wow what a cool comic i wish i could make something like that.” just go ahead and make something like that…
ummm this is all on the technical side-ish still but i dont really know what to say abt the kind of stuff that makes me wanna draw a comic in the first place vs just putting the idea into a regular single drawing…usually it Is kind of a more nuanced moment that i think would be better presented within some amount of context and buildup and all that. i basically exclusively draw emotions….and sometimes theyre better shown with some amount of action/dialogue, or at least a few different shots or something. i dont know if this area is helpful information or anything anyone would benefit from knowing about, or even if i have anything to say about it…is it all self evident maybe? idk! i do think i communicate emotions best through comics…not that each one is “here is my mood!” or talking about me at all, but i was for example trying to communicate about an abstract emotion, i think i can draw about it better than talk or write about it or anything. i DO sometimes draw more directly from my own specific feelings/experiences for things, but mostly when i think it can be relevant…i cant really do anything all that directly autobiographical, even casual diary comics or whatever. thats what my text posts are for… but i have been interested in how to convert these huge emotional issues that i’ve been v familiar with into a few pages or panels and how to present its impact in the simplest, straightforward ways i can manage…sometimes i think its worked for sure…..i feel like i gave a more Relatable sense to a certain experience by putting it in comic form than any of the times ive discussed it as a personal thing at length via text. like i said i communicate best via comics probably, despite not drawing them all that much coz im too damn slow lmao
speaking of, i’ve kind of been like “what a waste” abt the fact that i dont have like, a proper approach or regular strategy to thinking up comics before i draw them, but i think theres something actually okay to be taken from that lol……just that i know if i got too caught up in trying to plan it all out perfectly before getting into actually drawing it, i’d be making it into a bigger project and slowing myself down even more & i’d risk dropping it partway through or just never getting started at all. so if i have a less than perfect end result, at least i have an end result, and ive finally got that one idea out of my head in some way. and i feel like some of my comics do work out decently enough….a good handful of times ive been surprised w how well some ppl receive them
so i think it is good to just go ahead and dive in. i did that once w an idea i’d been sitting on for like half a year, and i think it turned out good enough. i just knew i could easily spend months and months more turning over all the details, which might make it Better, but would also mean that yknow, i’d never actually get around to making it b/c of feeling like it had to be ideal. so i simplified it a bit, used a uniform panel layout, did little drawings, and just got it drawn out in an afternoon or two. and now at least it exists lol. and ive sort of come back to the same idea in a way…if i feel like it turns out i wanna elaborate on something more, i can just make another pic/comic built on the same theme, who’s gonna care or stop me
i also try to focus on what lines are/aren’t necessary to avoid things being confusing or just pointlessly cluttery….this isnt a big issue b/c i dont often bother w bgs. dont emulate that either lol…….but im not doing any Serious art so its no big deal to me if im not “good” or not progressing as spectacularly as i might. i dont need my drawing abilities to be that amazing here. but bgs still serve a purpose beyond being a “skill” or whatever so im trying to include them more, aka occasionally, at all. still hardly ever. but sometimes you at least need like one halfassed establishing shot yknow. anyways
mmm this has all been kinda vague and i’m trying to think if there’s anything more specific i could/should talk about!! i dont know. i dont have a good perspective on what its like to look at my art while not being me lol & what ppl might think or what stands out to them or whatever. rip
sorry this is so long, i dont really have ppl wanting to know abt my Processes or drawing thoughts or whatever so i’m kinda jumping at the chance to talk about this sort of stuff after having been actually prompted to. but i dont know if i’ve said anything at all!! i dont know if any of it has been helpful
“tldr; i dont really know what im doing, but go ahead and jump into actually making them as opposed to feeling like youre ready / you know the best way to make a page, because nobodys ever ready or can say This Is The Best Possible Version so just go ahead and use whatever process feels like it makes your life easier, while still actually making the damn comic” is my whole thing, i guess
i dunno, if there was some specific thing you wanted to know abt that i didnt talk about / talk about well here, feel free to ask me to specify because i totally will, which is both an invitation and a warning obviously
sorry this is so long everybody…….writing an essay & by the end of it not being sure if ive given any info at all is part of my whole Thing

firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 omg au where jack accidentally adopts a girl post-fall of overwatch ///i'm watching new girl and one of the characters is pregnant and now i'm thinking about kids again
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 eurgh parasites
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOL but like jack saves a girl on the streets from something and is like "go home to your parents kid" but she's an orphan and he can't like leave her alone now so oops now he has like. a kid?? and he's suddenly forced to actually start taking care of himself so he can take care of this girl LOL WAIT NO NOW THIS IS T URNING INTO THE SAME PLOT AS THE CAT ONE XDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 well, not quite. he didn't start taking care of himself to take care of the cat, he just cared if he lived or died.
maybe taking care of himself in order to take care of the girl puts him into a healthier frame of mind except for the part where he decides it's a good idea to take his new responsibility on a roadtrip to find his undead, estranged ex and maybe get back together
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOL maybe she prompts him to do it she asks him about how he got himself into this situation and he quietly admits that it was ultimately bc he had a falling out with his husband whom he's still very much in love with and she's all smiles and is like "hey two dads sounds way better than one, let's go fix this!!" and he's gaping too much at the dad part to really understand what she just suggested
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 awww ^^ big dumb lug
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 >w< ooo but that's an interesting scenario, having jack in like an actually okay place trying to reconcile with gabe who's still very much spiraling like jack is still not doing great but he's recovering and trying to do his best for his girl
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 yupup meanwhile, Gabriel 'Murder Machine' Reyes...
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 qoq oh noooo what if talon finds out about the girl and like tries to kidnap her and jack becomes Rage Incarnate
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 talon. wtf? and Gabe, too. this is somehow more personal. they found this girl bc Jack came looking for HIM.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 it's what finally snaps gabe out  of his depressive/angry spiral
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Jack being more focused on the fact that Talon GRABBED HIS KID than he is on Gabe or their issues. He's willing to conceed anything Gabe wants, if only he'll help get his girl back.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 HHH AND JACK'S ONLY SUPPORT SYSTEM WAS JUST TAKEN AWAY FROM HIM SO HE'S RAPIDLY LOSING IT AGAIN
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 eep!
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 he comes the Fuck after them with a single-mindedness that's terrifying when gabe tries to intercept bc he can so easily see jack getting himself killed, jack actually stares him down and threatens to kill him if he doesn't get out of the way zero sentiment. totally cold-blooded. gabe: jack think about this for a sec jack: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ba/28/91/ba289158fa7412e37dcd78d74d5bb45a.png
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Gabe gets pissed off at first, but it's so icy that there's really nothing to latch on to. His whole relationship with Jack and the awful tangle and destruction its downfall led them to has been the most important, all-consuming thing in his life for so long that he had forgotten that there might be other things more important. Jack's found one. i have seen the puppy meme, yes XD
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 OMGGG AHH GABE GETTING JEALOUS AND FRUSTRATED THAT JACK SEEMS TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT HIM
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 lol GABE THERE'S BIGGER THINGS AT STAKE
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 also getting mad at himself for not being able to move on but taking it out on jack qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 At some point while they're going after the kid, Gabe lashes out at Jack bc of the jealousy, like 'What the FUCK were you thinking bringing a kid along to hunt me down?' and Jack is all 'I was coming to find you to see if we can hash things out, you colossal jackoff! at the very least i wanted to apologize!'
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 QoQ "i just wanted-" "WHAT jack? what the fuck were you..." "i just wanted us to be a family!"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 oh jack. you poor, poor deluded fool
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 gabriel falls silent, staring at jack briefly then looking down. jack rubs at his eyes tiredly. "she made me better," he explains quietly. "she was something for me to fight for. i had a reason to be better, gabe. and i wanted that for you too."
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 oh fuck you for that one ;n;
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 qwq gabriel feels hollow and raw all over at the idea that jack believed he was even capable of getting better
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 ((@ the comments popping up on twitter: if spanking's involved, does that make it whipped cream pie?)) hey. OUCH.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOLL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 it's taking all my self control not to butt in with that god awful joke. i want you to know that and be proud of me.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LMAO I LOVE YOU <3333
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 <3
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 ghhh but gabe doesn't believe in himself, he's just so angry all the time and even now he wants to hurt jack and... he decides it'd be best if he just helped jack get his girl back and then left
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 ;_; noooooooooooooo
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 so he gets EXTRA reckless on this mission qoq fuck it, he's betraying talon- might as well draw all the fire to himself, sacrifice whatever he has to in order to get jack and his girl out of there
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 oh gabi
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 jack is like totally not caring about his own safety so gabe has to be extra reckless to make sure that the girl actually has someone to take care of her after this
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 lol trying to out-reckless each other like the fukkin target ducks in a shooting gallery game
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOLLL in the process gabe realizes how in love with jack he still is qwq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 PRAISE how many followers do you think i would lose if i made the joke?
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LMAO AHHH WHEN THEY FINALLY FIND HER JACK RUNS TO HER AND SWEEPS HER UP IN A HUG AND IS JUST LIKE IMMEDIATELY IN TEARS and she's crying too and they're hugging each other so tight and gabriel watches them and feels his cold heart twisting into knots
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 ;-; Jack carrying her over and introducing her. Calls Reaper Gabriel, of course, as if the years between the good times and now never happened.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 QwQ and she's wiping at her eyes and smiling all huge and asks "so should i be calling you papa?" she steals gabriel's heart immediately but he's hit with the overwhelming sense that he doesn't deserve this
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Jack mirrors the thought. 'I don't deserve her,' he murmurs, 'but I'm damned lucky to have her.'
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 QOQ gabriel sees them to a safe house and has to disappear for a little while jack is worried that gabe is gone for good but he does come back after a few days he's all sheepish and shy but he mumbles that he wants to try
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 GABE YOU BIG SOFTIE
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 qwq he's like really really awkward and kind of uncomfortable at first
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 lol the most awkward grim reaper
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 he like doesn't know how to interact with this girl she's determined to call him papa
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 lol Gabe has met his match!! XD also holy shit i really need to turn in
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 OKAY WE WILL DISCUSS MORE TOMORROW <333333
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 yes pls!!! night night <3<3<3
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 GNNN
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 does Jack wear boxers or briefs. important question. tell me he doesn't go commando in his SC pants. nm tweet is full. ppl can imagine what they want lol
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 lol now i'm just imagining gabe pulling down jack's pants to find he's gone commando and being horrified gabe's all gruff and grumpy and isn't comfortable opening up yet and when jack tries to talk to him, he just gets all sullen. but somehow when this girl talks to him he can't find it in himself to snap at her.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 prro reaper didn't even want Jack backa nd now he has Jack AND a daughter like who's going ot feed and water her and make sure she gets exercise? FUCK I CAN TYPE WHO SAYS I CAN'T
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOLL he gets attached to the girl very quickly but jack is a little more difficult
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 He's~ already~ attached~~! never really came unstuck~! Gabi you're doomed just roll with it
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 XDDDDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 76 hears them talking at night in low voices. He can't shake the uncomfortable feeling that a lot ofit is about him, but he never asks. He's a little afraid to know. It's eerie how some mornings both of them will look up at him as he comes into the kitchen of their safe hose, watching him silent and attentive as cats
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 omg that's a cute image ahhh jack giving her a lil kiss on the top of her head in the morning gabe pouting internally bc he wants a kiss too but like they're not there yet,,
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 XD GABE! YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE! WHAT IS THIS BEING COMPLEX AND WANTING CONFLICTING THINGS? POPPYCOCK!
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 XDDDDD how do gabe and jack finally stop snipping at each other over dumb shit or ignoring each other XD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 what if the little girl claims to be afraid of monsters in her closet and Jack knows its a lie, and Gabe pretends to scare it away, but she insists and makes them sleep with her...only she sneaks out of bed in the middle of the night and leaves them alone. they wake up tangled up in each other, and go out to find her sitting on the couch watching cartoons and eating ice cream for breakfast and she complains that they snored too loud.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 AWWWWW CLEVER GIRL eeeee and they're all snuggled up together and gabe almost thinks he's in the past
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah my one weakness XD oh, let's see...
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 eeeee
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 what if she asks for stories at night--like, she'll want to sit in one dad's lap while the other tells a story. and she wants REAL stories. and she wants FIGHTING stories with GUNS and SUPERHEROES. And Jack & Gabe end up taking turns telling her stories from the Crisis. And when one's talking, the other can never help but interrupt to correct or make fun of the other. And sometimes she'll shush the interrupter and get them arguing over who's teh favorite, and sometimes she'll agree and be like 'yeah, dad, that was REALLY DUMB'
and as they're talking about the past back when things were good between them, the old feelings start to come back to the surface and they remember why they were great together
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 QwQ HHHH and then they finally put her to bed and they kind of sit in the living room silently together
and jack keeps glancing at gabe out of the corner of his eye while gabe pretends not to notice
and jack finally kinda clears his throat awkwardly and says, "you know, you don't have to sleep on the couch tonight. you could..."
"sleep in your bed?" gabe interrupts.
jack flinches from how he says it but nods anyway.
gabe lets him hang in suspense for awhile even though they both already know the answer is going to be yes
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 :eyes:
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Jack tries to break the awkward silence by starting in on the story Gabe told earlier--'the way i remember it was...' so and so. the stories they remind themselves of with Jack's little girl safely tucked in bed are darker and sadder and harsher than either would have told her. Jack pours himself a drink as they talk. he pours gabe one too, without asking, and they take turns pouring after that. The minutes turn hazy, blurring into one another. The kitchen is too warm, they're sitting too close, leaning heavily against each other, shoulder to shoulder, heads bent over their glasses like conspirators. Neither knows who initiated the kiss. It's slow at first, hesitant, an old habit picked up in the midst of drunkenness and shared loss. It grows heated before either fully realize what's happening, but, by then, neither wants to stop. Gabe remembers the offer of a bed. He lets his full weight press against Jack, knocking him slowly from his chair. When they fall together, they don't hit the floor, but dissolve through a cloud of nanites and land with a bounce on the cheap mattress. Shadow stepping works the alcohol right out of his system, and Gabe finds his head clear. Jack is still kissing him, however, needy sounds spilling from his throat as his hands clutch at Gabe's coat. It would be easy--so easy--to just let go, blame it on the alcohol tomorrow. The temptation is too much to resist, and Gabe bears down atop Jack, kissing him back with fervor as if this will be his last chance to regain everything he lost.
holy shit that's more than i realized
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 SHRIEKINGGGGGGG GAAAABE i love how they are literally married but still pining for each other qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 lol
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 jack actually stops them. they're both most of the way naked and grinding against each other and jack puts a hand on gabe's chest and asks him to stop for a second he wants gabe so bad but not if this is going to be it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 noooooooo jack go for it lure him back with your jacktastic wiles
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOL he rolls them over, crawling on top of gabe, and begs him not to pretend this is nothing later
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 oh my god ohhhhhhhhh my goooooooooooooooooooood not cool dude ;_; lol Jack's a weepy drunk
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 awwwwwww starts ugly crying into gabe's chest gabe is confused bc. this is such a turn off but he wants to fuck jack more than ever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 XD omg it's calld LOVE you jackass you LOVE him YOU'RE IN LESBIANS WITH HIM
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 AHAHAHAHA jack is like sobbing while still grinding into gabe and it's taking way too much willpower not to just throw him on his front and fuck him immediately
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Gabe dissolves away from under him and Jack cries out as he drops. In an eyeblink, Gabe has reformed on top of him, pressing Jack down with all his weight, grinding slow and deliberate up against him. He practically tears the jacket off him, then runs his hands across Jack's shoulders--shown off so handsomly beneath the compressions shirt--down his arms, until his palms cover the backs of Jack's hands and Gabe can lace their fingers together. He ducks his head to bite the back of Jack's neck, sucking at his skin, leaving a string of lovebites from his hairline down the side of his neck to the crook of his shoulder.
'You never stopped being mine, Jack,' he growls against his skin. 'Not back then. Not now. Not ever.'
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 HOLY SHIT fans self
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 possessive gabe orz and then we hope Jack got the girl some noise cancelling headphones 'cause this is not gonna be a quiet fuck
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 OH GEEZ
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 ((haha ASSphyxiation X'D)) https://twitter.com/rosephtxt/status/917180354452086784 ((i am a delight))
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOLL jack is still all teary-eyed but he growls at gabe to come and take him then >w<
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Gabe, thinking to himself: which i would ALREADY BE DOING if you hadn't needed to have a little breakdown
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Gabe, this one is a mess. Throw him back.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 AHAHA
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 Try again. You're a handsome monster with lots of opportunites on the dad dating scene.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 LMAO god imagine reaper trying to find love on tindr
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 i could prolly imagine it better if i knew anything about tinder aside from (gay?) dating site
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 it's the app where it matches you w people and you like decide whether you're interested or not and then you go on a date or whatever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 interests: disincorporating, shotguns, revenge, hiking, double agentry
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 knitting
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 musical theater HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 XDDDD also i'm technically still married but it's a long story we're not together anymore
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/08/2017 76: what a co-inky-dink so am i. i bet this mysterious stranger will really GET me.
firesonic152 - 10/08/2017 HA AWKS

RebelVampire
Good day everyone~! This week’s Comic Tea Party is now officially beginning. Today we are discussing Galebound by Respheal~! (http://www.galebound.com/) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~!
With that said, let us begin with this first question~!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
Kabocha
Oooh, favorite scene so far. Hrrrrrm.
Lyall
I really like din parting the waters
making the bridge
Amarok
oh these are questions for us?
Respheal
Yeh
Amarok
easy, the scene where Din jumps out the bed and charges his laser
Respheal
To prompt discussion
Lyall
i liked the fight in the hotel room too
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I'm definitely laughing at this.
no escape bruh
Kabocha
I really like Page 54 -- the end of the Dark Hour. http://www.galebound.com/comics/2415667/054/ I sat there for a while and was like... "What is this?" "Why is he smiling?" I've been really torn between Pascal thinking "You're so dead" and actually being relieved -- because who knows what could have happened? I've kinda stuck to the idea that Pascal REALLY wants to see killing Conan through though.(edited)
Amarok
well theres always Parkers house hears Conan choking in background
Lyall
Res' two page spreads are gorgeous btw
RebelVampire
not really a scene but one of my fave pages is definitely that one where pascal is looking out at the ocean realizing wtf just happened
Kabocha
yes.
I laughed super hard at that one
Respheal
Hahahah so many people said they relate to Pascal on that page xD
Amarok
yeah but few know about his fish friend
Respheal
"I sincerely love this page, my inner self relates to Pascal on a higher level"
Lyall
loooooooool
Kabocha
If it's not in comic, it's not confirmed, Amarok
Lyall
i feel that i personally have not bonded with pascal for some reason
perhaps my heart too sold on din
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I like this scene too. So glowy
Kabocha
We know very little about Pascal tbh. Din's been very quiet about him except "dude is gonna try to kill you."
Lyall
hurrrrhurrrrhurrrr
Kabocha
:3
Amarok
yes my favorite page
Lyall
love that spread
Kabocha
Wait, wait
Respheal
I was itching to get to that page so bad xD
Kabocha
How many words has Pascal said in comic so far?
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
uhhh
did he?
Respheal
Three
Kabocha
and what % of them has been a profanity
Amarok
2
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
oh
Respheal
2/3 were curses
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yeah
Amarok
that third one wasnt a word
Lyall
loooooool
Amarok
it was garble
Respheal
Yeah it was just "ugh...."
Kabocha
............. New name added to the nickname. I'mma stick it in the middle: "Foulmouth"
Respheal
xDDDD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
creative censorship, my friend
Lyall
PottyMouthPascal
RebelVampire
hey pascal was told to kill, not talk no talking needed
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
fartmouth Pascal
oops this is gonna be archived lel
Respheal
LOL
Kabocha
How many bad words DOES Pascal know, and are you going to invent new swears for him to use?
Respheal
Well I mean
He hangs out in bars so
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
so he swears like a sailor
Kabocha
When he finally does get more than a one-word line, he's probably just gonna be like "You ------ --------- -------- you and your ----------- horse"
Lyall
omg XD
i hope so
Respheal
--and the horse you rode in on
RebelVampire
the way this is worded makes me think pascal is gonna invent his own swears. gonna wind up using Din's name in one of them.
Kabocha
And then he whips out a knife and whoops, he really does have Murderpants now
Din will be so blown away
Respheal
.........
Wind puns
so many gale-blasted wind puns
Kabocha
has been kicked from the chat
lololol
Lyall
naaaaaah
Respheal
.....can...can I answer the questions too? xDDD
RebelVampire
if ppl got kicked for puns math would not be welcome here
rip math
Kabocha
Yes
Respheal
lololol
RebelVampire
you can answer the questions yes
Respheal
YAS
Lyall
math the punniest
Kabocha
WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE SCENE RES
RebelVampire
i wont stop you
Respheal
THE SNAKE CHARMERS MONOLOGUE
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
kinda found it funny how they argued over a change of clothes
Respheal
That scene stayed pretty much the same in every draft
This page: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2437904/061/
Kabocha
Conan objects to being called a hick
Respheal
Nah he owns it xD
Amarok
ah the first attempt to explain magic
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Lyall
OOoooooh i liked that scene too
RebelVampire
i liked din was nice in that scene and stopped magicking when he saw conan was sad
Kabocha
I'm not sure I trust this face sometimes
Lyall
no, trust that face most of all
RebelVampire
whats not to trust
O_O
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Respheal
Hmmm....
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
what he's friendly
RebelVampire
thats the face of honesty
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
or maybe not
Respheal
Oh I mean re: "i liked din was nice in that scene and stopped magicking when he saw conan was sad"(edited)
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Artemis trust him so it's good enough
Lyall
didn't he stop cause conan commanded it tho, lol
suuure he's just so nice tho
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yeah that's what I thought too
Kabocha
I feel like Conan was creeped out tbh
RebelVampire
shhh let me think din is nice O_O
Lyall
din is nice in my heart
keltyzoid!
so what is this tea party
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
din is nice I think
Kabocha
Din is nice to Conan.
Lyall
i don't feel like din is evil at least
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
so uh we discuss a comic every week
Kabocha
Din wants to overthrow a kingdom, though.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
@keltyzoid!
Kabocha
Sooooooooooooo not really all that nice?
Lyall
i wouldn't say i think he's good tho either
i feel like he's someone's pawn
Kabocha
Din is nice in a very limited context
Lyall
cause din very much has an agenda
mariah (rainy day dreams)
He's got too much big shit to do to be soft and fluffy
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he's nice
Kabocha
But sometimes you gotta feel like he's blowing smoke up someone's butt
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I'd like to believe
Lyall
wondered if he was conan's dad's servant or something
Respheal
@keltyzoid! https://comicteaparty.tumblr.com/about
Lyall
and he's bound to their family that's why he has to take orders from them
keltyzoid!
THANKS RES
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
like a book club only with comics
RebelVampire
to be fair to din's not so niceness moments, he did just meet conan and is fulfilling some obligation. those are not factors where someone is going to be nice.
mariah (rainy day dreams)
Hmmmmmmm I like that theory!
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
why does Din want to overthrow a kingdom tho?
Lyall
so in that regard din is neither nice or not nice, he's just doing his obligatory duty
RebelVampire
@keltyzoid! https://comicteaparty.tumblr.com/faq you can also check out the faq which has more info ;3;
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
is the king that bad?
I mean kinda if he sents pascal to kill conan
keltyzoid!
ty ty
RebelVampire
well it may not be that the king is bad even. its hard to say when we havent seen the king.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
@keltyzoid! you can read and catch up http://galebound.com/
it's a short read(edited)
keltyzoid!
Din and Pascal are some hard boys to draw, so shout outs to Res for drawing them over and over again
Respheal
Thanks! :'D
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I like Din's floofy hair
keltyzoid!
GOD YOUR ART HAS GOTTEN SO GOOOODD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
so floofy
Respheal
THANK YOU
That means a lot ;w;
RebelVampire
din has the best hair ;3;
Lyall
love din's floofy hair too
Respheal
Very floof
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yeah
keltyzoid!
curly boy
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
all the floof
Lyall
they say curly haired boys are pervs tho
keltyzoid!
who says that
Lyall
people
Respheal
pffft
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies Lyall is not curly haiir tho
Kabocha
How would Din feel about being called a floofy guy though lol
Lyall
lyall you need a perm
Kabocha
having someone sit there and ruffle his hair
admittedly, I thought, at first, that the line by his eye was just an age line XD
Lyall
strange imagery of conan ruffling din's hair
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he'll shoot lasers at everyone
LOL
Respheal
@Lyall and that's how Conan dies
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
well conan can do that
Lyall
LOL
but what if he does it and commands don't kill me before hand
Kabocha
Conan's gonna end up shoved in the sea or something
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
what he can command Din to be a nice doggy and let Conan pet him
Mahotou
i'm late but i'm here!
Respheal
Well that might help xD
Maho! o/
Mahotou
o/!
RebelVampire
welcome!
welcome all new ppl
Mahotou
is it ok to ask for a summary of what's transpired so far at the tea party?
RebelVampire
i think the bigger question is is din's hair naturally that floof or does he spend hours getting it to floof O_O
keltyzoid!
pet DIn's hair but be careful not to dislodge the 8 to 10 random items he has hidden in there at all times
Lyall
secret dagger stash
keltyzoid!
he doesn't know what's in there right now but he knows it would be a pity to lose them
Respheal
LOL
Lyall
it's more like wild untammed floof
Mahotou
Din's hair is a portal
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I'd like to think it's natural floof
Respheal
@Mahotou The question is favorite scenes, but it devolved into discussing the floofiness of Din's hair
Lyall
rather than picture din with curlers in at night
RebelVampire
@Mahotou weve talked about fave scenes and aboout pascal's swearing
keltyzoid!
his floof is powered by the universe itself
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I mean can he summon hair sprays?(edited)
Respheal
Oh yes and that 66.7% of Pascal's dialogue thus far has been cursing(edited)
Mahotou
XD
keltyzoid!
curse him and his poofy shirt
Mahotou
pasc cant catch a break
Lyall
oh i love din's jacket too
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Mahotou
speaking of, a fav scene is pasc's smiling
keltyzoid!
belts
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I like the scarf
Lyall
best jacket
Respheal
:D
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
likes all the scarf
Lyall
din the best dressed man
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yis
powerful and fashionable
Lyall
probably someone's tool
keltyzoid!
but Pascal is so fancy
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
fancy murderpants
Lyall
pascal is a snappy dresser too
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
both of them are
Respheal
Magicians, they like to dress well
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
that red scarf is cool
Lyall
they must work for rich people
who care how they dress
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yeah
keltyzoid!
or maybe he just knows of a really good antique store
Amarok
im back
what i miss
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
and Din forced Conan to dress up too
Respheal
o/
RebelVampire
or they just like to look really cool while they performing their magic. how else you gonna impress da ladies
Amarok
oooh we talking dress up
Lyall
maybe it increases your magic powers to dress nice
the secret of fashion magic
Respheal
Sure let's go with that
Kabocha
Din dropped that giant bag of cash at first
Amarok
oh thats the one thing that tells us that "Lucie" isnt Lucie
Kabocha
so I mean
keltyzoid!
the fancier you are the more magic you can do
Kabocha
dude's got access
Amarok
she hasnt complimented on his new outfit
Respheal
She's a lil busy freaking out over his well-being
keltyzoid!
one time i saw a guy on Penn and Teller and he was dressed like a homeless man and his magic was sub par
Respheal
LOL
keltyzoid!
whAT
Amarok
uh huh sure
Lyall
is she really her
i feel like it's a mirage to manipulate conan
Amarok
ill take shes a fake for 800 bob
keltyzoid!
it's a mirage to sink ships >:/
Lyall
yeah
Kabocha
What is Pascal in a glamor?
Lyall
like i find it more believable that she's fake than real just randomly there
Amarok
unless Pascal got his fish freind for a ride
Kabocha
(sorry, going with the jeopardy style answer lol)
Amarok
hes still trudging the shore
Respheal
Oh xD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
XD
RebelVampire
pascal busy building sand castles
keltyzoid!
hell yeah
Respheal
LOL he would too
Lyall
fffffft
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
does he like sand castles?
he might murder the sand castle
Lyall
who doesn't like sand castles
Kabocha
No, no, he'd only stab people who crushed his castle
Pascal has principles.
Lyall
he'd curse and cry
keltyzoid!
Conan's gonna break his sandcastle like the bully in Cool Cat Saves the Kids
RebelVampire
is that why pascal out to murder conan and his dad O_O conan's dad crushed pascal and the king's sand castle?
Respheal
......Sure
Lyall
nah pascal is being controlled by someone else too
Respheal
xD
Kabocha
Cool Din Saves the Kids
Lyall
feel like pascal and din are just both being used
RebelVampire
oh theyre for sure just being used
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
awww
poor pascal
Lyall
really din and pascal are BFFs that grew up together and dated
RebelVampire
i mean the opening kind of set the tone for that XD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
omg
def ship
Lyall
then they're like well it's a job
sorry bae
Kabocha
OMG ;'D
keltyzoid!
Din and Pascal?
Lyall
yus
Kabocha
Din has a boyfriend that is not Pascal, I'm pretty sure
Lyall
I hope
he's super good looking
Kabocha
I think Din's type is blonde? :3
Mahotou
that's a truth
Kabocha
Where's that pic, Res?!
Respheal
wuh?
Oh
Of Din's BF?
keltyzoid!
yeah it's Conan shut up
Mahotou
they want the boyfriend Res
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Mahotou
xD
Kabocha
omg
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Conan can just be a chaperone
Lyall
i don't wanna push spoilers out of res tho
Respheal
https://respheal.tumblr.com/post/161779575831/drew-a-thing-for-fun-i-have-no-idea-why-theyre
Mahotou
OH WAIT
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
huh
Mahotou
THERE IT IS
Lyall
awww he's not my type
but if he makes you happy din i support
Mahotou
he's for Din anyways lol
RebelVampire
QUESTION 2. In the most recent updates, it’s revealed that Din may have purposely let the assassin, Pascal, get away. It also opens up an important question: can Din be trusted? Why would Din let Pascal get away if that’s true? Why is Din so secretive instead of just telling Conan the truth? Is Din really just out to hurt Conan too?
Mahotou
xD
Respheal
Oh hoh hohohohoh
Kabocha
Din did say the less Conan knows, teh better.
Lyall
surprisingly doesn't like long hair on male characters that much
RebelVampire
thats what all secretive ppl say when they just want someone to shut up
keltyzoid!
maybe it was just a prank
Kabocha
I feel like Din doesn't want blood on his hands? Or at least on Conan's hands, to be honest.
Amarok
well Din doesnt really know Conan
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
He's concerned for Pascal in a way
Amarok
but he knows Felix
allegedly
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
who's felix?
Lyall
maybe din has been ordered not to tell conan things
Amarok
Conans father
RebelVampire
felix is conan's dad
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
oh carp I forgot
Kabocha
He knows Conan enough to know that he was some guy in a stable who had a life and was going to help with an assassination plot
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
see my memory fails me already
Mahotou
*patpat
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
XD
Lyall
it's okay mharz i forgot too
Amarok
But the question and answer is Does Din trust Conan
Kabocha
So, Conan's plausible deniability in this is key if Conan's not gonna get the axe.
Amarok
enough to allow himself to be potentially controlled by him against his will
Lyall
i doubt din trusts conan
i mean he just met him
conan is more like luggage to din probably
Kabocha
tbh I think there's some serious gaslighting going on right now though
Mahotou
same
Kabocha
Stuff's going to explode as soon as Checker-- erm, Artemis manages to get Din to wake up.
RebelVampire
i dont think he's been ordered to not say anything. honestly i get the sense din is just being nice in this regard and feels the less conan knows the less conan's life is disrupted and the quicker they can get stuff done
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Somehow I just feel like it's his duty to protect Conan
Lyall
same
RebelVampire
i agree it seems he might be bound to conan's family
Lyall
i don't feel like their relationship is that deep atm
cause din is doing a duty
and conan is basically the cargo
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yeah
RebelVampire
hahaha conan as cargo
Superjustin of Time and Space
Lol
Respheal
Early on, he was even thrown over Artemis like luggage
Lyall
yuuuuus
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yep definitely luggage
Superjustin of Time and Space
(and yeah just peeking in to see what's up)
Respheal
o/
Superjustin of Time and Space
\o
Lyall
hi super~!!
Superjustin of Time and Space
Keep up the good work Respheal, your stuff's awesome
Respheal
Thanks :'D
Superjustin of Time and Space
and hey Draco!
You're welcome~
Respheal
PFFFFFFFFFFT
Lyall
loooool
Respheal
-dies-
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Amarok
as for the why would Din let Conan escape
Superjustin of Time and Space
OMG that pic
Amarok
obviously commands are verbal
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Din let Conan escape?
Respheal
Why Din would let Pascal escape you mean?
Amarok
Pascal yes
derp
Respheal
LOL
Lyall
ah that makes more sense
Respheal
Maho xD
Lyall
my memory is fuzzy but i was like when did conan escape
Amarok
anyway
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
if Din let Conan escape, the story is over
Lyall
you had one job Din
Amarok
COmmand are verbal so to override them u must have percise language or else a technical loophole could proceed
Kabocha
now I want to draw some stuff like galebound was a totally different comic
Superjustin of Time and Space
Alternate Ending
RebelVampire
well its not over weve established din knows where conan is O_O
Tenor
@Respheal I didn't get to read but i wanted to drop in and saw I love the art at least! <33 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
say*
Respheal
Thanks <3(edited)
Amarok
as Din may not know the wording of the contract, he must improvise
Lyall
i hope din has this huge secret ulterior motive that really goes against everything that's been said and done so far and he was playing both sides in order to free himself or something, lol
cause he seems that type
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I hope you don't go too far. I've only read the main pages
RebelVampire
i assume din just has past history with pascal
since i mean
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I feel that too
RebelVampire
din knew who he was
wasnt like "oh rando assassin"
unless theres a magician association
Respheal
omg
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
and not just I just know he's an assassin
there's a connection
Superjustin of Time and Space
I love these images @Kabocha
mariah (rainy day dreams)
They went to baby murder magic school together
Lyall
looool
Kabocha
You know, in Ink Drop Cafe, I've been talking about how Pascal is secretly out to kill Conan, because Conan's clearly the evil little brother
Lyall
they do look a like
i have a hard time telling them apart tbh
Respheal
rip
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LMAO
Superjustin of Time and Space
Wait
there's sucha thing
Respheal
I gotta admit that's more me sucking at drawing :'D I WILL GET BETTER(edited)
Superjustin of Time and Space
as babby murder time hour?
Lyall
i think that's why i haven't bonded with pascal, he reminds me of conan mostly
but like better dressed
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
you did improve a lot Res
Respheal
Thanks <3(edited)
Superjustin of Time and Space
Indeed
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
:3
Mahotou
same face syndrome is a butt
Respheal
Pascal needs to show up moar so I can get more practice drawing him xD
Lyall
hahah oh dear
Superjustin of Time and Space
XD(edited)
Lyall
i was thinking they were secret twins or something
RebelVampire
while were on these subjects. let us theorize
http://www.galebound.com/comics/2289959/001/
who that other kid in that page
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Lucie?(edited)
Respheal
pbbt
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
A childhood friend?
Lyall
maybe one of them is din as a kid(edited)
cause of the black hair
Mahotou
OMG YES WHAT DO OTHERS THINK ABOUT DA OTHER KID?
Kabocha
my initial thought was it's conan
Lyall
same
i thought it was conan the first time but the hair looks black
RebelVampire
what if the other kid is pascal
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
that might be pascal lel
Lyall
pascal and din
mariah (rainy day dreams)
mind blown
Kabocha
http://www.galebound.com/comics/2460520/067/ Conan has forgotten something though
Amarok
i subscribe to that was Conan and Din in the first few
Mahotou
i thought it was conan at one point and pascal at another point. and now i just dont know
Amarok
and he has memory loss
Lyall
it's just some random kiddos, gosh
Amarok
and has a history in Evenheim
Lyall
for establishing shot
Amarok
else why would the City Daemon help him
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
The woman is Conan's mom shot
Superjustin of Time and Space
Dang Kabo I love these too much
RebelVampire
well one of the kids is din. unless theres another green eyed floof person
Amarok
im guessing said scene was shortly after Conan's mom died and deadbeat dad left
Superjustin of Time and Space
your sketches
Lyall
oh wait there's more to the kiddos
wow i completely forgot about this part, LOL
okay yeah that's def Din
no doubt
i remember i knew that when i read it
cause it's pretty obvious
unless he has a twin
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
that was 17 years before the start of the story
Kabocha
gotta be Din. 'cause dem green eyes
Lyall
and the hair
RebelVampire
i lean towards its pascal just cause it being conan is too obvious imo.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he has floofy hair
Lyall
yeah
and he's better dressed than conan cause he's wearing blue
blue always the best
Respheal
xD
Kabocha
but we've also seen Conan's dad
and conan's dad is kinda fancy.
Lyall
well it's not din's boyfriend
can cross that off
RebelVampire
conan is their half brother O_O and his mom was a princess so he got a less shitty life
problem solved
Respheal
I mean, I haven't introduced that many characters yet xD So it's either one of them or someone tht hasn't been introduced yet~~~~
Lyall
that's very magi rebel, hahah
Superjustin of Time and Space
introduce more
Respheal
ikr
soooooooooon
ish
Lyall
conan is alibaba
Respheal
Soon in webcomic time
RebelVampire
LOL
it could be someone new tho, i dont discount that.
its not lucie
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
webcomic time = 10 years
RebelVampire
she is also crossed off the list
Lyall
i thought she was related to din cause of her black hair
mother or sister
RebelVampire
who are you talking about draco?
Respheal
The woman from the prologue I presume(edited)
Lyall
yus
Superjustin of Time and Space
k I'm gonna listen to some music, you guys enjoy the rest of the chat
Respheal
Alrighty, have fun!
Lyall
kay, laterz Super~!
Superjustin of Time and Space
Thanks~ And laterz!
RebelVampire
thank for coming super~!
Superjustin of Time and Space
You're welcome. ^_^
Kabocha
http://www.galebound.com/comics/2294666/003/ The last line on this page
The hate between Din and Conan is not quite strong enough
Lyall
oh
Kabocha
you know how some comics have power of friendship? These guys gotta be powered by hate. :'3
Lyall
this
Respheal
LOL
Amarok
right now its mutual distrust and distaste
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
rip
Lyall
doesn't this imply that din is borrowing power from people he hates to change the world to his own ideals so he is a two faced snake that's going to betray his master at some point, lol
Amarok
especially wiht that accent and old outfit
Kabocha
Right now Conan is basically the one in charge...
Well.
Lyall
sorta
he's not really
Kabocha
Yeah.
Of Pascal.
Respheal
xD
Lyall
din is borrowing power from whoever told him to get conan
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yep
he was looking for Conan's dad too I think
Respheal
Correct
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
which is something strange
Respheal
Wondering where the heck he is, anyway
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
cus Din and Conan gave different years on how long he was missing
Lyall
check the brothels
Amarok
imagines din with a "wheres felix" book(edited)
RebelVampire
what sort of power are we talking about tho? like do you have to be bound to someone to access more magic? are we talking about political power? etc.
Respheal
xD
Lyall
i think it's more a position of power
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
mind power?
Lyall
like a rank of some sort
RebelVampire
cause if were talking about rank
Lyall
well not official rank
RebelVampire
what if that lady was a court magician and she took the boys in and trained them
Lyall
but more access to stuff
maybe but she was dressed pretty poor too
Respheal
How many doodles did you make??? xDDDD
lmao
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Does the king have the same powers as conan does?
Kabocha
I'm doing these as I go
RebelVampire
her dress was pretty nice imo. plain but nice
Mahotou
rank is involved with the command ability right?
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
it does?
Lyall
her hair made me think she's poor tho
Mahotou
and i think she's a mage from implying they (herself and kid din) are stray dogs
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
again only reading the actual pages
RebelVampire
its possible the king has the same powers cause in res' world info city daemons are generally heard by high ranking officials
Amarok
if it does how does teh rank pass?
Kabocha
I think rank was only mentioned in the comments
Amarok
the old king is dead. long live teh king.. but whos the king?
Kabocha
so it's wild mass guessing at the moment
Lyall
iamking
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
that means conan is in a high position if he can command pascal
Lyall
well if he's the king's son he'd be a prince of some sort maybe(edited)
Mahotou
which i guess bring's his lineage into question (looks at felix)(edited)
Lyall
fuzzy memory tho will not benefit me here
RebelVampire
to be fair some tidbits of info are more a question of did you read the supplemental world info
cause theres some juicy hints in there if you connect some dots
Respheal
This is true
There's a lot of stuff I just plain can't fit in the comic xD But it's usually not 100% necessary info
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
was thinking what if Felix is somehow related to the king
wild guess
Kabocha
Felix is a rival for the throne?
That's a good theory....
Lyall
oh reminds me i was thinking you should put the dusk appendix in the main menu bar if you can
cause i didn't think to look for world information in the about page
only when rebel pointed it out did i know it existed
Kabocha
I'mma subscribe to that one mharz
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
why does the king want Felix and his heir Conan dead?
Mahotou
is felix an illegal baby of royalty? is conan?(edited)
Respheal
Hmm, I can see about making it fit in there
Making Conan a bastard lol
rip
RebelVampire
QUESTION 3. Conan himself is rather strange with having a rare ability to hear city daemons. He also has suggested there are important things he may have forgotten. Why or what is Conan that makes him as much a target as his father? Is there are a reason he seems to have hidden abilities? Has he forgotten something that will later be pivotal to the story?
drops question early since were on the topic anyway
Amarok
hes a target cause his father is a target, making him a source of leverage
Kabocha
Someone wants to flush Felix out. :3
Lyall
i just assumed he had his memories hidden to protect him and hide him from others
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I wonder if it's becos Conan's memory was rigged which is why he says his father went missing 14 years instead of 25
RebelVampire
leverage only works if you intend to keep someone alive tho. so i mean hes leverage for din maybe, but not for pascal
or the king
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Like I feel Din's statement is more legit
Amarok
Conan has the ability to hear THAT specific Daemon cause the City Daemon of Evenheim will protect its own people
meaning Conan has history in Evenheim
Kabocha
Could conan be older than people think?
Mahotou
Din's the kidnapper and Pasc is trying to kill Conan. he's targeted not to be ransom but to be killed. why's he a threat?(edited)
Amarok
reinforced by the mark on Dins back, the same mark on Conan's Watch, and the same mark hanging above Evenheim's gate
Lyall
maybe conan isn't a real person
Respheal
Suddenly we've got a D.Gray-Man situation if he's older than people think xD
RebelVampire
yeah i think conan has some sort of high station in evenheim at least
Kabocha
'cause Conan was born in Evenheim, or so we think... There's gotta be some record of it -- so Felix being missing mysteriously for 25 years would be a little odd, eh?
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
rip
Kabocha
unless Evenheim doesn't keep records
Amarok
im thinking Felix or at least the Renaud family used to be in control of Evenheim
Kabocha
OOPS OUR PUBLIC RECORDS GOT BURNT DOWN
Respheal
LOL
Lyall
well if he's assumed dead and had a different name it's easy
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
brb gonna food.
:3
Mahotou
my guess is that while felix went missing, he had conan. so conan knew he was around cuz he was living with his dad
RebelVampire
yeah
thats how i interpreted the 14 vs 25 thing
is that din didnt know where he was
but conan did
Kabocha
oh god, conan's dad was one of those sovereign citizen guys wasn't he
Respheal
oh lord
Kabocha
that's the REAL reason Conan has missing memories
RebelVampire
it couldve been conan's mom who was from the affluential family. felix is just some bum
Kabocha
his mom was dying of stress of his dad saying "you can't put me on trial here because that flag is wrong"
Lyall
i hope
his dad is incredibly good looking(edited)
RebelVampire
http://www.galebound.com/cast/
hes the bottom right guy
Lyall
oh geezus
Mahotou
that cast page is a good resource
Lyall
he is
i don't care if he's an asshole he's my new second fave
Respheal
xD
Lyall
looks like you got a bro conan
pascal
Respheal
I had fun with some of these descriptions lololol
Mahotou
Too good for this cruel world
Lyall
like
pascal looks more like felix's son than conan does
maybe pascal was given conan's real appearance to protect conan
since pascal can protect himself
and is loved less
Amarok
Pascal isnt smart enough to be a decoy
Respheal
His murderin' pants
Amarok
xD
Lyall
maybe pascal is a clone
a magic clone
Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice
I am finally home, so I ahve to say this
RebelVampire
pascal is too good for this world and wait a second pascal has green eyes
Amarok
he gets back to the king after completing the task
Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice
So that horse might be a person
Lyall
maybe the horse is felix
Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice
That was my crack theory for the longest time
Respheal
wat
Lyall
felix is an animagus
Kabocha
he's a cat.
Amarok
"congratulations captain murderpants on a job well done" "but im only a lieutenant" "I just promoted you"
Lyall
felix the cat
har har har
Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice
Alright now I got that here I'm gonna poof, I feel like dying sorry qwq
Lyall
kay~! laterz Feather~!
Feather, Duke of Hot Leaf Juice
But yes, my crack theory was the mare was a person who happens to be the true heir and all the jazz
Respheal
Hahahaha drop in to post that crack theory and then poof out xDD
Alrighty see ya o/
Lyall
don't you mean
Respheal
Get feelin better
Lyall
true mare
Kabocha
during the dark hour, Artemis was a ... night mare
I'll see myself out thank you
Respheal
But yes, that's where Pascal got the cinnabon part of his nickname
RebelVampire
i wonder if its telling that felix and conan have middle names but the others dont. is this an indication of their fancy O_O
Lyall
mark of royalty
or pretentious namers
Respheal
Bit of a family tradition
Conan's grandpa's name is Matthias, and his great-grandpa would've been a Lucas
And on it goes
Lyall
ooooooooh
i drank way too much caffeine today
Kabocha
If Conan isn't ejected from the gene pool
Respheal
lol
Kabocha
his kid should probably have the name "felix" at some point(edited)
BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE'S A SECOND CHILD
Lyall
conan's real name is Felix Jr.
RebelVampire
then the second child is banished
there can only be one
Respheal
xDDD
Kabocha
this is why pascal wants to kill conan
Lyall
how spartan
but conan is younger
Kabocha
Conan was the favorite.
:3
Lyall
but he doesn't dress as well
Kabocha
Clearly not.
Lyall
fashion too important
Kabocha
his dad was a hobo. Lyall
no he's wearing an ascot
Mahotou
that's why conan was hidden away as a stable boi
Lyall
hobos don't wear ascots
Kabocha
Din's sleeping on the ground right now
and he was in an alley with a blanket and probably a hobo then :'3
Din is King Hobo.
Lyall
no he was poor then
and sleeping on the ground is necessity
Kabocha
So you mean Din had a whirlwind of success?
Mahotou
he travels on foot and by caravan. sounds like a bumkin
Lyall
no din sold his soul to the devil of the story
Respheal
To be fair, Maho, they haven't gotten around to trains yet xD
Kabocha
Really, that part of things had to be a breeze.
Mahotou
so Res, how's din's soul looking on that pedistal?
Respheal
owo
Kabocha
Wait, if Din sold his soul to a devil...
Where is Rex.
Lyall
everywhere always
Mahotou
lol
Kabocha
it all comes back to freaking Rex.
Respheal
I'm gonna start responding to theory questions with a kyubey expression
Mahotou
yey!
Kabocha
"Wanna make a contract?"
Lyall
rex is a terrible bad guy, i hope res did better than that, hahah
RebelVampire
on a more serious note din said that theyre after "felix or his heir" so does that mean they knew felix only had one kid or that there can only be one heir so if felix had more kids it doesnt matter?
Lyall
gawd I hope Felix had a whole bunch of kids
Respheal
Good question!
Lyall
his kitten litter
Respheal
Din:
Lyall
Felix: Find them all Din, now find me
Respheal
THIS ISN'T POKEMON LOL
THERE IS NO CATCH 'EM ALL
xD
RebelVampire
this is why felix left. he has to go around the world having kids
Lyall
Felix: Sorry Din, my duty in life is to make babies with every one i meet
Kabocha
oh god
Respheal
omg xD
Lyall
Felix: I must share the beauty that is I
Kabocha
Felix's theme song is now Vanilla.
(by Gackt)
Lyall
rather Booty Call
Respheal
-dies-
Amarok
welp gotta go for now
Respheal
Awww, see ya! o/
Amarok
i may be back
Lyall
Bye Amarok~! Thank you for coming~!
Respheal
Thanks for joining :D
Ah heck
You guys are asking good questions though >:3
RebelVampire
thanks for coming Amarok~!
Lyall
i know nothing about Felix but he is now a full time player in my mind
Respheal
And have grazed a fair number of truths(edited)
Lyall
the horse was conan's mother all along
RebelVampire
i think we could also ask why now? like theyve not cared for 25 years about felix but now theyre like "welp better go assassinate him"
Mahotou
maybe they were looking for him for 25 years tho maybe the question is, who let slip that felix has a boy in the horse land(edited)
Lyall
his gambling debt got too high
RebelVampire
thats true it mightve just take 25 years
yeah thats an equally valid question
why do they suddenly know about conan
Lyall
omg he looks like Loki from Matantei Loki Ragnarok there
RebelVampire
did felix send them a letter and was like "hey guys just want to tell you i definitely dont have a secret son in this location."
Lyall
http://www.absoluteanime.com/mythical_detective_loki_ragnarok/loki.jpg
cause it's obscure
Respheal
Definitely don't go to the ranch in Norin that has a sign saying "Renaud Ranch". No one of interest there.
Kabocha
:'3
RebelVampire
His name is definitely not conan either.
Kabocha
Felix goofed up there
Lyall
good going felix
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
what I miss?
Lyall
felix not smart, just lucky
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
huh?
RebelVampire
were talking about why everyone came to get conan now instead of earlier
Respheal
I think we were talking about why people are after Felix and Conan
Yeah
Lyall
yus
Respheal
3. Conan himself is rather strange with having a rare ability to hear city daemons. He also has suggested there are important things he may have forgotten. Why or what is Conan that makes him as much a target as his father? Is there are a reason he seems to have hidden abilities? Has he forgotten something that will later be pivotal to the story?
-copy-pastes the question-(edited)
-cuz I kinda forgot what the question was too-
xD
Kabocha
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lyall
Icanfinallydotext OTL
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
oh
RebelVampire
throws confetti for draco
Kabocha
Answering this question is hard
Lyall
i always assumed conan was a prince
RebelVampire
i definitely think whatever conan forgot is important
Lyall
or something to that effect
RebelVampire
cause of the amulet
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he's an outsider prince
Kabocha
Conan forgot his mom.
Lyall
prince of demons
prince of pizza
Respheal
wat
Kabocha
Like, seriously, that lady in the flashback
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
they have pizza?
RebelVampire
Din: Conan what do you remember about your mother? Conan: ....I have a mother?
Lyall
do they have pizza?
i've no idea
Kabocha
LOL
Respheal
Probably something LIKE pizza
Lyall
omg conan that's sad
Respheal
Aww
Lyall
Conan: Wait, what's a mother
Respheal
OH NO
Kabocha
CONAN WAS BORN IN A TEST TUBE
Lyall
Din: I am your mother
Respheal
Suddenly Lost Boy
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
omg
Respheal
WAT
Mahotou
he was just talking about how he was upset that his dad didn't come to her funeral too. (edited)
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Din is not a Damon, Draco
Lyall
it's a dark hole i can paint you
Kabocha
http://www.galebound.com/comics/2460520/067/ But no, seriously, I feel like this was really really heavily implied
RebelVampire
no i definitely think thats his mom too
Kabocha
either that or conan has an older sister
RebelVampire
in the flashback
Lyall
it's
his first wife
Kabocha
conan had a wife
Mahotou
i thought he may have forgotten what her last words were
Lyall
yus
Kabocha
omg
so he really IS older
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Lyall
conan is really a lot older than he looks
but when he was hidden he was made younger
Kabocha
add another 11 years onto that
Lyall
because he too is a magician
Respheal
Ha, add 11 years and he'd be Din's age
Lyall
shot
maybe
conan is felix
and pascal is his son
RebelVampire
i dont think were going that far into the twilight zone
Lyall
hey it can work
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LMAO
Lyall
you can connect the bridges to make it work
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Draco it's not reincarnation
Mahotou
Kabo is SO PREPARED with these images xD(edited)
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
stahp applying Zenchav logic here
Lyall
Conan: Why do you look so much worse than with your age lines
Respheal
And then suddenly Din and Conan are fraternal twins
Lyall
i can connect anything
do not take theories from me
Kabocha
@Mahotou -- no, I'm actually literally drawing this as I go
I know I said I'd prepare stuff, but I can't make this up
RebelVampire
so one thing conan definitely forgot in that flashback is the amulet cause clearly hed seen it before
Lyall
kabo super good at drawing fast(edited)
yus
and his first horse
that someone stole
:<
Respheal
Probably Parker lol
(jk)
Lyall
gdi parker
Respheal
xD
Kabocha
we need to see Parker in comic
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Kabo is like a cali
Respheal
Someday!
Lyall
yus
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
is parker cute?
Lyall
always the important question
Kabocha
parker's drunk all the time XD
Respheal
^
Lyall
:<
Respheal
He's uh.....
Lyall
that's not cute
maybe
Respheal
He's made an appearance in a lil derp comic I did for TWC
Lyall
is his first name peter
Respheal
https://respheal.tumblr.com/post/156311533421/twc-challenge-2-featuring-conan-and-his
Lyall
awww kiss him parker
when he's awake
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
aww he's a cute tubby guy RebelVampire
QUESTION 4. Din tells Conan that the reason Conan is being hunted is because of Conan’s father, Felix. What exactly did Felix do to make so many enemies? Where do you think he went? Is he dead or is he out wandering the world somewhere? Do you think Conan will run into him or is Felix’s role inconsequential?
Lyall
my eyes are tired so i read hunted as haunted
Kabocha
Felix stole a horse.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
the king's horse
Artemis is the king's horse
Mahotou
i think conan will meet with felix somewhere down the line.
Kabocha
Also, probably slept with someone's sister that he shouldnta
Lyall
well felix slept with a lot of people's significant others
Respheal
And that's when Conan punches the hell outta Felix (jk lol.....or am I?)(edited)
Lyall
UnU
RebelVampire
conan should punch felix anyway
say thanks for leaving to get milk and not coming back, dad
Lyall
Felix: Come son, let us embrace
Kabocha
So, who did Conan inherit his ahoge from?
His ma or his pa
Lyall
the pressing questions
Respheal
That's actually a good question
That I don't remember the answer to
Lyall
D:
Respheal
-looks up refs-
Mahotou
its the grandpa
Lyall
from the horse
UvU
Kabocha
OH WAIT
I know
neither. XD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Felix: You shall do my bidding
takes over the underworld
Lyall
no felix that's bad
Respheal
If rank is determined by ahoge, Pascal is probably higher ranked
Lyall
lolol
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
oh wait that's a different story
Lyall
Felix: Conan let me show you my magic bag
I hope Conan's real name is Katz
Kabocha
Yeah, Pascal would have the larger of the two ahoge
Respheal
Katz?
Mahotou
Pasc has windmill sweeping hair
Kabocha
...Those two I DID draw yesterday
Lyall
like Cat
so it's Felix and Katz
Respheal
omg
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL
Lyall
and a magic bag
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Felix the Katz
Lyall
do not let me name things, i'm sorry
Kabocha
How much DOES conan know about his dad
Lyall
nothing probably
how much does conan know about himself even
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Felix is probably a threat to overthrow the king which is why they want he and Conan dead
RebelVampire
well he knows hes missing
Lyall
how can you know your dad if you don't know yourself
Kabocha
that's deep.
Respheal
Well, Conan has hinted a bit as to how much he knows about his dad
Which is to say: not much
Lyall
Conan: I had a dad?
Respheal
OH NO XDDDD
Lyall
Conan: I thought I was born from these horses and Parker
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
might be fabricated
definitely fabricated memory
Lyall
yeah that's true
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
poor guy
Lyall
even if he had a memory it could be false
Kabocha
have we seen conan's belly button yet
Lyall
conan is an unreliable source for info atm
Kabocha
DOES HE HAVE A BELLY BUTTON
Respheal
........wat
xDDD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yep
Kabocha
if he's not got parents
like, if he was some sort of magical being
would he actually have one?
Respheal
Alright Conan, lift yer shirt
Lyall
does conan have abs,
the important questions
Respheal
hell yeah
Boy works on a farm all day
Lyall
10/10
RebelVampire
>v>
Lyall
work it farm boy
Mahotou
he had a nice back
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he's ripped
Kabocha
Din also has a nice back.
and a nice tattoo
Mahotou
that page where he took off his shirt
#hesstrippingagain
Lyall
The tattoo is proof he sold his soul
for powah
RebelVampire
it looks more like a brand than a tattoo to me. like someone took a hot poker and put it to his back. and it went sizzle sizzle
Lyall
my first thought was what he's advertising
Mahotou
being branded gave him powerzz
Lyall
someone used din as a billboard
Mahotou
powerful slave?
Lyall
that's really a company
RebelVampire
or being branded is him being marked as magician cattle O_O
Lyall
ooooooh
Mahotou
that
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Din Works for Conan's clan
Lyall
that's what i think
Kabocha
I feel like I've seen din's tattoo somewhere in comic tho
Lyall
slave to conan's family
RebelVampire
the watch
Lyall
yus
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Pascal works for the King
Lyall
but maybe it's not the real king
RebelVampire
its the same emblem on conan's watch or looks supsiciously similar
Lyall
maybe felix was the real king, but went into hiding
that's why he's missing
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yep
maybe it was invaded
Lyall
yis
Mahotou
sht someone help me compare the watch to din's sholder
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
then King whoeverhisname is
Lyall
we shall call him Gink
King Gink
Mahotou
Gink-king?
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
is scared that Conan's clan will go revenge
RebelVampire
draco you cant always just make new names by spelling backwards
Respheal
Watch: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2362830/035/ Shoulder: http://www.galebound.com/comics/2369956/040/
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
which is why he wants Felix and his heir dead
Lyall
yes I can
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
LOL draco
Respheal
@Mahotou ^
Lyall
Conan's real name is Nanoc
maybe Felix is a robin hood type
pushed into hiding but doing good for the poor
but he looks like an ass
so i doubt it
RebelVampire
but i cant say for sure about the similarities. theyre just suspiciously similar.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
draco
Conan's mind is fabricated as to protech him
well that was kinda obvious(edited)
Lyall
yis
Kabocha
I feel like I remember seeing a comment once about some of the scenery in Evenheim and I'm like what are some of these comments talking about
cameos?
Kabocha
and other stuff
Respheal
Hahaha if it makes it easier to refer to the king Din's looking to overthrow, King Cymaria works (they go by their city-state name sometimes)
Ah yeah there were a few pages with cameos from other comics
Lyall
maybe the king is a woman
cause their name ends in A
i'm sorry i really drank too much caffeine
RebelVampire
if this is a matter of felix is the true king i still dont get why theyd wait so long to deal with him. not to mention even if he changed his name i think hed be found out cause a king being dethroned is kind of a big deal
Lyall
yeah that's true rebel
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
probably because Conan is more powerful
and they were waiting him to grow up
lel
Lyall
but maybe he's a different kind of royalty
i'm not fully theorized in the construct of the world
RebelVampire
im not talking about conan im talking about felix
Lyall
so the hierarchy of such could be different than the assumed
RebelVampire
conan wouldnt of been born yet
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
but it's related
Respheal
Conan's 22, for reference
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
wait
he's 22?
Lyall
like maybe there's a different kind of royalty amongst the magician
than with the lands
Mahotou
its in the cast page too right?
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
again, I didn't read anything aside the main pages
Respheal
It's fine ^^
It's all optional supplementary stuff hiding back there lol
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
it's more fun to speculate that way
RebelVampire
yeah conan is 22 so he was born 3 years after din and his cohorts think felix went missing.
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Felix ran away
Lyall
i want to read it all again, and the supplemental stuff :<
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
met the magician girl
lived with them for 11 years
Lyall
looks at pile of pages to draw
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
then ran away again
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
rip my theory
Lyall
would felix be din's father then
Respheal
:3
Lyall
wha
RebelVampire
so i guess felix left when conan was 8?
Respheal
Oh nah I'm just trolling with my reactions mostly xD
All of the theories have been good!
Correct
22-14=8
Wait
Lyall
bad parenting felix
Respheal
Yeah
Lyall
abandoning your son
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
psh who does that
Lyall
for the greater good
of brothels
no not you rex
get back in your hole
Kabocha
We need an icon for Felix now
Respheal
That would be the grumpiest icon
Lyall
felix joins dad of the year club
Respheal
xD
RebelVampire
you can never have enough grumpy icons
Mahotou
i think Din's grin would be more appropriate for Res.
xD
Respheal
That's like the criteria for being a Magician: have a blood-curdling evil grin
RebelVampire
i really love the pattern on pascal's shirt random
Lyall
lolololol
yus
Respheal
Pascal likes dressin up
Lyall
he wears it well
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
he and din are
Mahotou
Pasc "i'm an assasin so i'm in all black but i wanna stand out and be fancy soooo RED CRAVAT"
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
yiss
Respheal
LOL
Lyall
lolol
Respheal
Hahaha Pascal wears the red cravat solely cuz it matches his magic's color
He's like IT MATCHES YES
Kabocha
and his eyes!
Lyall
omg XD that dork
Kabocha
also the blood of his enemies!
Respheal
Well yeah the ring around the eyes matches their magic too
Kabocha
res, where's that stupid pic of pascal I drew
Respheal
(Din's is kinda hard to see sometimes--I gotta fix that)
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I like red so I approve
Lyall
blueisbest
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
red
Lyall
blue
Respheal
>w>
Respheal
Gonna quote @Mahotou here
"WHO'S BLUE?????"
Lyall
felix?
RebelVampire
the entire comic
Respheal
Now it is! xD
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
draco
Lyall
mharz
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
no
Lyall
yes
ironically mharz's name is blue and mine is red
RebelVampire
with 6 minutes left to go does anyone have any closing thoughts?
Lyall
ummm
tell us all the secrets
Respheal
Since we're getting close to it, I was gonna mention what the next chapter's gonna be called
#speculation
Mahotou
OOOOOOOOOO
Kabocha
:3
Respheal
Chapter 4: Hear, Obey, Defy
:3
Mahotou
*looks at Din
RebelVampire
rip conan
Lyall
din gonna disobey
tsks
it's okay din
i support you
kill him if necessary
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
be free Din, be free
Lyall
yus
free your genie bond
Respheal
Hahaha funny you should mention that
Din -> djinn
Lyall
oh i noticed
Respheal
xD
Lyall
and then i forgot
Respheal
LOL
Lyall
but now i remember
Kabocha
When's Din gonna have another slasher smile?
RebelVampire
but were all assuming it means din gonna betray conan i think. it could be that they cross the bridge, someone is like "din you take that boy to the king gosh" and then din is like no go jump off a bridge
Lyall
look at din
of course he's going to betray him
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
I trust Din
with my pennies
Respheal
:3
RebelVampire
i trust artemis
Lyall
I trust din to do what's right for the story
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Artemis is best
Lyall
i trust din to do what's right for din too
unless
he forms a really really strong bond with conan
which could happen
but he does not have that atm
Respheal
Hahaha I will say, a lot of you were SERIOUSLY on the right track
I was screaming
xD
Lyall
it was the horse theory wasn't it
Respheal
Yes
You caught me
Lyall
felix is a horse
Respheal
Conan's mom never died, she's been the horse all along
Lyall
just horsing around
RebelVampire
to be fair tho if din wants to overthrow the king its not to his advantage yet to betray conan if conan is some necessary component
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Din wants to be king
RebelVampire
i approve of King Din
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
overthrows the king first then makes conan the king
Lyall
i feel like a lot of the story pieces are still missing for me to make a real judgement on who's right and wrong
Lyall
I support king Din 100%
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
then overthrow conan
Lyall
i want a picture of king Din
Kabocha
Res was totally blown away by the theories.
Respheal
Yeah, that's the thing--there is a LOT of missing info right now
Lyall
i feel he'd be very lelouch
Respheal
More info will come of course.....but then that might just spawn MORE QUESTIONS
-evil laugh-
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
gonna wait until chapter 10
Lyall
d'aaaaw
Mharz of Angels & Punchy Ladies
Likes to pile up things
Respheal
Oh heck chapter ten's gonna be nuts
Lyall
res so good at keeping spoilers
Respheal
.....so is every chapter up to that but y'know
RebelVampire

ok i literally have no where to put all of this down and im tired of feeling like i’m !!!! at people about this and they are either sympathetic but only human and can’t do much besides what they have said, or they are wanting 2 be sympathetic and can’t be bc reasons that are out of their control.
and that’s fine like really.
and if this is read by said person it’s about i don’t even care
i’m like totally okay calling it what it is: scout is thirty but sometimes situations draw her back into the awkwardness of youth and it’s just how it has to be for a limited amt of time.
right so!!
context: i am thirty years old and i am not the most attractive/easy to be into person around. this is my opinion of myself. i think part of it might be that i’m not my own type to a degree physically and that isn’t even bc i’m a bigger girl but more so bc as a bigger girl at this point in time i don’t have what i’d consider my perfect and ideal way of presenting myself. in an ideal world i’m never as exhausted as i usually am. i have energy and i use it to wear more things i like, to wear more make up more often, to do my hair, to do things for ME that are aesthetically pleasing.
i am aware that even lacking that part of stuff at times bc of my exhaustion (pretty much brought on by meds and depression, which is stupid BC THE MEDS ARE FOR THE DEPRESSION JFC.) does not mean every person ever looks at me the way i look at me.
however i am prone to thinking the MAJORITY are just not into my physically and i’m usually okay with it for reasons to be discussed below, re asexuality.
easy to be into? well i’m honest. i’m TOO honest. i try to have some tact but often i think if something is hidden behind tact it lacks the sharpness needed to puncture something needing to be punctured, you dig? i am very logical. i may also be pretty emotional (music, films, books, random rogue thoughts make me sob like a baby or crow like a rooster) but i’m CONSTANTLY seeing myself as i react and at this age i have this neat ability to really catch my own wrists before i do something really rash. out of body experience, in a way.
sometimes tho, i can’t catch myself or i see it happening and can only go WELP it has to happen and at least i’m ok knowing that much.
so yeah ppl like me can be tough to deal with. top that all off with the fact that i can be extroverted in THAT way but very often need time to recuperate through quiet periods lacking mega social shit.. i just have gotten used to the idea that i will be by myself forever.
i might have friends and family but i won’t have A Person who would want to be MORE and that’s fine.
mostly bc i tend to not like a lot of people i meet and i’m also not physically into them. for the second half of that statement i’ve come to the conclusion i’m likely asexual too. i’m ok admitting it might be partially bc of my depression and self loathing of my own look/body to a degree, and i know part of it is not trusting anyone to want to get to know what i need/want and respecting that. i do not feel so !!!! about sexual things that i need to make it a priority.
so, asexual right?
:)
and now the fun part:
so then i meet someone. it is NOT out in the real world but on a website. this fuckin hellhole tbh. one of my biggest and most important hobbies is writing and more specifically writing norse myth muses and even MORE specifically doing so to sort of explore my own spirituality regarding the gods. you can see how something like that feels nerdy a fuck and weird and not a thing you can match up with other things to make a perfect person to be into.
sure u can get friends and shit out of it but i never think of more tbh. reasons being: most are much younger. most are asexual and aromantic irl. most i’m just not into physically or they have others or we don’t have a lot more in common besides wanting to write and a few random things.
so again i meet someone. on this website. who does that writing thing. relates they like norse myths. reveals it’s not just a small thing (maybe just medium but i can’t tell yet tbh) and then comes more fun revealed things over casual conversation where i am nosy bc i am with all new people i meet.
older than me! likes the same music (so important so fucking important) a heathen???? has a job! (i mean this sounds dumb but knowing someone can hold down a legit job and they are of an age u feel comfy with can be huge) is the most beautiful fucking person u have ever seen and doesn’t think so themselves but holy SHIT wowowowow at them being literally ur physical fuckin type 2 the max. so far tolerates all my questions and !!!! chatter has a really good, charming personality!! is struggling with their own mental issues and is honest about it! is dominant in the way i’m mega into like crazy is also someone who likes personalities like yours, possibly, esp the part where u need time to be quiet and chill.
but the issues are:
lmaooooooooooooooo i literally only met this person LAST WEEK lives not near me ofc ofc ??? ???? like am i totally one sided?? last one is the doozy. assumption currently: yes, but that’s aight. bc i’m used to it and that SOUNDS sad and makes me kinda sad but not like, in a way where i want anyone to feel guilty lmao. it’s just what it is and life sucks and that’s ok. it has to be ok bc there are bigger problems in the world and being sad all the time over ur own stupid life is stupid in the big picture sort of way i guess.
also if i were him and someone were as !!!!! about me this quick, despite them being you know.. my age... i’d be like “pls simmer down.”
bc like i said waaay up there i am mega aware that i sound like i’m fucking sixteen. it’s the worst. it feels really out of control and i don’t know what to do besides hope they can tolerate me long enough for me to realize nothing is ever going to happen. so we can just be friends.
i dont know that posting this even helps in those regards.
i just have to get things out somewhere in one big chunk or i’ll lose my mind.
i hate being a girl, too, bc i can tell u right now this ENTIRE thing (as in this post and my emotions as of this second) are magnified bc of my time of the month. fuck OFF with all that. why can’t i just be a robot?
