Location: Somewhere in the Hallowed Woods Starter for @pyrighteous

"I told you that I'd beat you here today." The first time he had run into Koda in the woods had been by chance but after a few times, Shawn figured there really was no way to avoid each other. He was finding that apparently he wasn't the only one who felt connected to the outside which had been proven even further after the time he had spent talking to Annette. "I was half expecting for you to fly out of a tree somewhere," he joked, holding up the thermos of coffee he had in his hands. "You want a cup?"

[heyimkana]

kana are u just making a multiverse of jinwoo's at this point?? how many do you have???? - 💸

Literally what I listed in the last ask you sent me LMFAOOO maybe around 20???

There’s also Homewrecker!Jinwoo actually, though not in the way you think 😏

It’s about reader who’s married and has a four year old daughter, but both of them are being abused by her husband.

One night, when her daughter got sick, she took her to the hospital to make sure she was okay. Coincidentally, that was the same night Jinwoo visited the hospital to give the Elixir of Life to Jinho’s dad.

Jinwoo, reader, and her little girl stepped into the elevator together. But then, the lights flickered and suddenly everything went dark. They were trapped inside the elevator.

The little girl started crying, scared of the dark. Let's say her father (reader’s husband) used to lock her in the bathroom whenever she misbehaved. She kept sobbing, “Mama, please! I’m scared! I was good, Mama, I didn’t do anything wrong!” Reader tried to calm her down (she was close to crying herself from watching her little girl broke down like that), but her daughter wouldn’t listen. She was too scared.

Then, Jinwoo suddenly did something with his magic (maybe he created a little orb of light with his mana) and crouched down to show it to her. He smiled, so gently, and asked, “Hey, you wanna hear a funny story?”

The girl sniffled and nodded.

“I have a friend who used to be a giant ant. Really scary. Sharp claws. Big wings. Thought he was the king of the world.”

The little girl looked at him, eyes still watery, but now curious. "Giant ant..?"

“Mm-hmm. But now he wears a tiny cape and thinks he’s a stage actor.”

Then Beru appeared—floating in the air, small enough to fit in Jinwoo’s palm—and dramatically declared: “Verily, ’tis I! Destined from the womb to smite all foes, conquer dungeons, and rule o’er all creation! And yet—oh, cruel twist!—I now spend mine hours painting yon royal sister’s fingernails! What devilry is this? From dark lord to dainty manicurist—fie, what a fall!”

The little girl giggled. “He talks funny.”

Jinwoo rolled his eyes. “He thinks he’s in a drama. But honestly, I think he just likes attention.”

The girl stepped closer, wide-eyed. “Is he your friend?”

“One of the best ones I’ve got.” He held out his fist. “Wanna bump?”

She did, bumping her small knuckles against his and Jinwoo smiled, gently patting her head. “And now you’re one of my best friends too.”

The girl smiled—like genuinely smiled—and reader wanted to cry because it had been months since she’d seen her little girl smile like that.

Buck and Tommy get engaged. Maddie reflects.

°°°

Buck and Tommy get engaged on a Thursday. They take the long weekend off. Maddie's the first to know.

On Friday morning, she wakes up to a text of a single image from her brother. At first, she doesn’t know what she’s looking at. Blinking sleep out of her eyes and readjusting to the light of the day, it dawns on her that the picture of two rings set gently on the counter, resting on top of one another, is an indication that Tommy finally popped the question.

He told her two weeks beforehand. He came to her with shaky hands and timid smile and asked for her blessing with a stutter.

She hadn’t been sure about Tommy at first, a thought she kept to herself for years if she’s honest with herself. She brought it up one day to her own husband.

“I just- I don’t know if he’s the one for him, you know?”

Chimney bristled at the comment, “What do you mean? He’s Tommy! I think they’re awesome together.”

Maddie tried to explain herself but it was in vain. Chimney doted on Tommy’s proclaimed “awesomeness” and she let the conversation die while she settled into silent judgement.

It’s not that she didn’t like Tommy, or even think that he was bad for Buck, but something about him felt- wrong. Buck- no, Evan was sensitive. Sweet. Clingy. He needed adoration and praise and love and stability. He needed someone who could stomach being looked at like they were the center of the universe. Someone who had the appetite for love that he had to give.

When she looked at Tommy- she didn’t see that. She couldn’t explain it. And when her baby brother called her with a shaky voice and explained that Tommy had dumped him, she knew why.

He was a runner. And it broke her heart. She imagined that same voice, only smaller and higher pitched, the day she told Buck that she was leaving with Doug.

You’re leaving me.

He left me.

Her brother is always being ditched, abandoned, tossed aside. Always being shattered by the people who are supposed to love him, always being rejected by the people he’s desperate to leash himself to.

In a strange way, after this realization, she felt sorrow for Tommy that she didn’t before. Sorrow she felt for a past version of herself who waved goodbye to her kid brother from the passenger seat as a bad man drove her away. She felt anger for him, too. The same anger she felt when looking at Buck lay motionless in a hospital bed.

You should have stayed. You should have been there. You should have loved him better.

The same anger she felt when she watched Jee slip into the bathtub, down under the layer of water, tiny fists clenched and thrashing. The same anger she felt when she watched Los Angeles fade into the horizon, when she gripped the steering wheel in her fist and told herself that they were better off without her. Her husband, her daughter, her brother. Maybe the world.

Then, Tommy came back into Buck’s life. After a messy hookup, a long conversation, and a bakery’s worth of carbs, they were back together. Buck had talked her through everything. How Tommy apologized, how they cried and fought and forgave each other. She nodded along to everything, let him vent, gave support, and bit her tongue.

She still wasn’t sure about him, even then.

It wasn’t until he came to her, nerves laid bare for her to see, that it dawned on her.

“I-I know that you might have reservations about our relationship and about me,” he admitted sheepishly. It took her by surprise and when Tommy took note of her quick correction, he gave her a knowing look and assured her, “You don’t have to apologize or deny it. I get it. If someone I loved was abandoned the way I left Evan, I would hold a grudge until the day I die. If someone hurt Evan the way that I did, I would never forgive them. Which is why I hope that you believe me when I say that I will never stop trying to make that up to him, to remind him everyday how much I love him. We both know much he needs that. I want to spend the rest of my life loving him. And it would mean a lot to me, and I know it would mean a lot to Evan even if he won’t admit it, if you would give me your blessing,” he bit the inside of his cheek and she watched as he squirmed under her gaze.

She let the silence eat away at him for a few seconds before sucking in a breath.

“I’ve seen my brother be a lot of things. I’m sure you’ve seen the revolving door of careers he tried on in his twenties. The one thing I’ve never seen him be is at peace. And then he met you-” Tommy’s eyes crinkled as he smiled, “and I still didn’t see him at peace.”

She watched his face fall and opened his mouth to mutter an apology but she stopped him, “The first six months were a honeymoon period. And then when you broke up with him that first time, that was the worst I’ve ever seen him. He was a mess and everyday I woke up and wondered if he was ever going to be okay again. You were just another person who leaves him and throws him away when they get tired of him. And then you came back into his life, and he was even better than before. The best I’ve ever seen him, the happiest. And for a really long time, I could not understand why- why he would forgive you. And then I realized, it’s because you came back.”

Tommy dug his nails into his palms and listened.

“God knows that I have messed up with Evan more times than I can count, that I’ve made mistakes, that I’ve run away when I should have stayed. But I came back. And he forgave me because that’s what he does. I’m not perfect and I don’t expect you to be either, but as long as you keep coming back to him. That’s what matters to me. He deserves someone who knows that he’s worth coming back to.”

She wiped her face of the few droplets of tears and leaned forward to hug him. He clearly wasn’t expecting it, as he went stiff the minute she wrapped her arms around his large shoulders. He delicately placed his hands on her upper back, like he was afraid he’d hurt her.

They talked for a few more minutes before he made his exit. He hadn’t told her the when or how and she suspected that he hadn’t known himself.

When she received that message, and then a few seconds later a paragraph worth of exclamation marks, she felt at peace for her brother. She knew he was in good hands.

JUNO POSE LESBIAN EDITION

[hopecomesbacktolife]

while I expected lots of cute moments with bb-8 and pew-pew adventures in Poe Dameron: Flight Log (which, don’t get me wrong, I definitely did get and was very happy about!!) along with lots of cool ship specs and tech details—

what I wasn’t expecting (a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one) was several instances of incredibly heartfelt, evocative, and sweet introspections from Poe on his family, upbringing, philosophy / ethics, the resistance, and love 🥺 so many sweet characterization tidbits in this book, I really enjoyed reading it ♡

if you’re interested in reading it as well, I borrowed it (for free!) on internet archive which I highly highly recommend, it was such a fun read and it’s very easy & user-friendly to borrow books from them!

I'm literally sorry for rambling about sabrina but as a long time fan of her I'm like low-key processing it it all lol

like Im just thinking about how emails I can't send is such a good album (and how people slept on it). and then fruitcake is also iconic. with eics I think she was already starting to enter what would become her current image. I actually wonder how different her career would be rn if nonsense hadn't gone viral (bc I feel like her current image is a reflection of people finding the horny parts funny and she just kept going with it bc it was going viral and selling)

anyway feel free to ignore this, I literally went on rambling more but just deleted that part bc I'm simply too crazy

I agree emails I can’t send is her masterpiece and I feel like I kinda knew she was never gonna top it 😔
