#smart pay solution

[copperbadge]

Before I left for vacation I did my usual “tidy for the petsitter” routine, and there was some paperwork that I thought should probably get put away, so I stashed it in a storage bin I had out. Because I know me, I put a note in my to-do list for when I got back that said “There’s important stuff in the bin, remember to go get it.”

So I did, but I thought I should deal with the other stuff in the bin too, and I’ve just been popping the lid and dealing with one or two things every time I go past it. Most of it is paperwork, and I’ve just hit some records from high school that my mother recently gave to me without either of us going through them.

There’s a bunch of report cards, which are heartbreaking and hilarious. I graduated a semester early and my last semester was cleanup -- two classes to complete graduation requirements and one to maintain status as a “full time” student. Two were math-based which I was notoriously bad at, and sure enough at the midterm I was getting a D+ in one and a C- in the other. We’d just begun digital grade recording, so the teachers would keep their grades in a paper book and then log into an extremely basic database and enter the grades, which would spit out on our printed report cards. They could put in a grade plus three “codes” which would print next to our grades as status updates, stuff like “disruptive in class” or similar. 

My English course, in which I was getting an A, said “Exceeding expectations” which was kind of Mr. G because I remember him and his expectations were exceptionally high for me. 

The other two have the same catechism: Missing Assignments, Does Not Pay Attention In Class, and of course...Achievement Not Up To Ability. Guess now we know why. 

Reading through these old cards with the cushion of time, it’s fascinating to see my young brain at work. My math and (math-based) science grades tank so hard, at the same time I was getting As or Bs everywhere else -- history, civics, econ, english, spanish. There are documented questions about whether I’m going to pass enough math to graduate high school, dated the same semester as my perfect Verbal SAT score and my fives in AP Comp and Lit. The first semester after I was put into the Gifted program, I failed Remedial Algebra.  

I did say at the time, to my mother and my teachers, there’s something wrong here. My mother, in her defense, had her hands full with my brother; my teachers just didn’t know what to do with me. The school district was broke and didn’t have disability testing available. By the time I got to college I’d simply internalized the idea that I was a neurotypical kid who got stubborn when asked to do something I found pointless and boring, and that was a personality flaw to be corrected, not a symptom of something bigger. My therapist for my last few years of high school agreed, and thought I should probably learn more anger management techniques. Although it turns out you can’t breathing-exercise your way out of undiagnosed ADHD. 

In any case, here in 2023, there’s no solution or tidy resolution or anything to be done about it, it just is what it is: a sheaf of paper from the late 90s about a smart fuckup who could have used a hand. I’m here now, alive and employed and medicated and a homeowner, so it’s a bunch of numbers that don’t mean anything. I’ll scan them into my digital archive, then toss the paper and never look at the archive again, probably. 

Achievement not up to ability. Boy, no kidding.

Friend/Boyfriend/Husband! Bakugou HC

Tags: fluff, domesticity, descriptions of sexual intercourse, breeding kink.

Friend!Bakugou will help you with paperwork. He will point out mistakes you're doing, and praise you where you've done a good job.

Friend!Bakugou will complain when you slack off, saying that you can't get stronger if you're not training hard enough.

Friend!Bakugou will drag your ass in the agency's private gym and fight with you until you're sweaty, tired, and can barely stand on your feet.

Friend!Bakugou will listen to whatever is bothering you, and his solution to your problems is to use him as a punching bag. He will let you take out any frustration, or anger you have on him. At first, you're reluctant, he wasn't the source of your problem, and taking it out on him seems unfair. But Bakugou can be persuasive in his own way, pushing the right buttons he knows will make you implode.

Friend!Bakugou cares about your health. He will ask you at least once every three days if you've eaten, if yes, good, you're off the hook, if not, will force-feed you whatever he concocted, because he "can't have you faint like an idiot in the middle of a fight"

Friend!Bakugou is wary of the guys that approach you, he can tell right on the spot if someone has bad intentions. He can see through any façade people put on, and he's not one to shy away from speaking his mind whenever something/someone pisses him off.

Friend!Bakugou will clumsily confess his attraction to you, saying how annoying you are because you keep popping up in his mind at the most inopportune moments.

Boyfriend!Bakugou has little to no experience when it comes to expressing his feelings, or emotions. He wants to tell you, to tell the entire world just how smart and pretty you are, but always chickens out.

Boyfriend!Bakugou who, despite having conversational difficulties, will choose to show his appreciation through actions most of the time. Yet, when worn out from work, too tired to pay any attention to anything, will voice out his thoughts. Those are the rare moments in which he showers you in compliments, but would rather try to extract petrol with his bare hands than acknowledge that such thing happened.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will pay extra attention to your mood swings, over time learning what each and every expression and tic means. If he sees you pouting to nothing in particular, he already knows that something has saddened you. If he sees you constantly touching your neck/shoulder, he knows you had slept in an uncomfortable position.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will lend you his sweaters if you're cold and will feign forgetfulness or aloofness so you can keep them for yourself.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will ask you to take it easy on the training, saying that exhausting yourself isn't gonna lead to any improvements. When you tell him that it's not what he had told you before the start of the relationship, he will pretend to not hear you.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will scowl away any man that tries to get too comfortable with you. Will keep both arms protectively around your waist, back-hugging you, while his chin rests on your shoulder as you keep chatting with them. His eyes are narrowed, telepathically telling the guy to 'back the fuck off'

Boyfriend!Bakugou who will take a run to the nearest pharmacy to buy you medicine. When sick, Bakugou will send you poetic vocals as reminders, just in case you forget. "Take your goddamn pills before I come over and shove 'em down your throat"

Boyfriend!Bakugou will spend an entire night being your therapist after a failed mission, paying extra attention to your body language. And if the problem is way deeper than he can handle, will not hesitate to drag your ass to a proper therapist.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will plant himself into your missions whenever he feels something is a bigger threat. The villain you have to take down is an S Class? He'll be involved, whether asked or not. He wants you safe, he needs to see with his eyes that you are safe.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will outright tell you to just wear his clothes, because he likes how they fit on you. He likes to see you flaunting around wearing his stuff, showing off who's the man that is making you happy. Bonus point if it keeps other men away from you.

Boyfriend!Bakugou is insecure about holding your hand because he sweats. A lot. The first time he holds your hand, he had to wipe them down several times, scared that it will gross you out.

Boyfriend!Bakugou is intimidated by the idea of a kiss. You're his first, and screwing up will only plum down his already insecure self. He's relieved when you tell him that you too are a little nervous, it had been so long since your last relationship you worried about being out of practice and potentially disappoint him. When the first kiss is done, Bakugou will ask for more. It quickly become his favorite thing to do with you, second only to cuddling.

Boyfriend!Bakugou slowly grows bold with his actions. The first time he let his hands slide down your back, placing them on your ass, his heart jumps in his throat, looking at you to see if you were in any discomfort. To his surprise, you arch against him, lacing your arms around his neck.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will explore your body like a pirate does on an island in search of treasure. He quickly grows to love every part of your body, and if there are any insecurities he will make sure to wipe them away. Thighs too big/thin? He will pamper them with kisses, force his head between them, and gropes as if they are his lifesaver. Big/Small tits? He will play with them, his attention will be on the mounds until he's sure you know he loves 'em.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will always put your pleasure first. Even if he doesn't know how to make you cum, he will try anything until you do. He cockblocks himself until he's sure you've at least cum twice.

Boyfriend!Bakugou will keep learning your body. He wants to be number one in anything, and that includes the arts of pleasuring you.

Boyfriend!Bakugou doesn't have a rhythm or kinks yet. Growing up focusing solely on becoming a hero, he never gave himself the time to tap into his turn-ons and offs. So, he learns them with you. He learns that having his hand pressed around your neck makes him hard. He learns that having his nipples sucked makes his mind foggy and his body tremble with pleasure. He learns that having your spongy walls clamp around his girth spurs him on, going harder and faster on you. He learns that hearing your broken 'I love yous' when you cum on his cock, makes him lose the little clarity he was left with. He learns that those three words have the power to make him euphorically come undone within seconds.

Boyfriend!Bakugou doesn't know what aftercare is. But is willing to learn everything about it, for you.

Boyfriend!Bakugou is happy. He's at peace when with you. And every little thing makes him fall in love deeper and deeper with you. He loves the feeling of your fingers in his hair. He loves your attempts at cooking, even if they end up being uneatable. Bakugou loves when you draw him a bath after a particularily rough day, especially if you join him. He loves when you wrap your hands around him and just look at him with nothing but adoration and love. Bakugou loves coming home to you dancing in his kitchen while trying some new recipe you saw on the internet.

Boyfriend!Bakugou realizes that he wants you to be a constant in his life. He realizes how loved you make him feel, whole, complete, and it dawns on him how much he wants to put a ring it.

Husband!Katsuki knows you like the back of his hand. He knows how to make your favorite drink, favorite dish, and favorite dessert. He knows when you want something but won't buy it afraid of unnecessary spending, so he will gift it to you. He knows when you don't like something, may it be furniture/décor item/dress/etc, and he's quick to get rid of it. He even knows your menstrual cycle, and it's almost scary how accurate he is.

Husband!Katsuki puts your own comfort before his. He doesn't care if his arm gets all tingly and numb when you sleep on it, nor how he knows that a certain position will give him back or neck pain once awake.

Husband!Katsuki developes a breeding kink. He loves seeing his cum seep out that pretty pussy, thrills traveling up and down his body at the idea of his seed sticking deep into you, swelling you up with his kid. And the image of you round and cozy, drives him feral. And with two fingers, he gathers his cum and pushes it back into your warm cunt.

Husband!Katsuki wants children, lots of 'em. With the goal planted deep in his brain and heart, he fucks you everyday, spilling all his worth into your tight hole, painting your insides hot white, and stays plugged to you even after his dick softens, making sure that it sticks.

Husband!Katsuki is on cloud nine when you confirm your pregnancy. He will make sure to be present to most of your doctor appointments, and if he's on duty, he'll send his mom with you, or asks yours to keep you company.

Husband!Katsuki keeps the ultrasound pictures. He has several copies of them, some are kept in his drawer, another set in his wallet, even in his agency he had a couple. And when he's not busy, and manages to get a couple of minutes away from his colleagues, he will fondly look at them while talking with you over the phone.

Husband!Katsuki takes many pictures of you pregnant. He took so many of 'em that he decides to print them out and make an album, well, several of them. Because when his children will grow older, starting their own path, he wants to remember everything, he want to see their growth, your growth with them and him.

Husband!Katsuki deliberately cries when you give birth. And it doesn't matter if it's your second, third or fourth delivery, he will never get used to it.

Husband!Katsuki is a doting father. Even if one of his children comes out quirkless, he will love them equally. They are his and your product of love. He will never miss his children's recitals, or school activities, unless he's too busy with work, but he knows you'll be there with them. Still, when he misses a school event, he feels guilty, and to make it up, will take some days off to spend with them.

Husband!Katsuki is a great father. If his quirkless child is bullied he is quick to solve the problem. He now is a spokesperson for quirkless rights, women's rights included. Having both daughters and sons, he wants to make sure that there is minimum danger toward minorities/oppressed groups. He wants to make society a better place for both you and his little gremlins.

Husband!Katsuki is usually the one that prepares dinner, when he can. And if not, will make sure to prepare breakfast for the next day. On the days he has more time available on his hands, will also prepare the bentos for everybody.

Husband!Katsuki is mesmerized and incredibly proud of how far he's come. He's enamored with the domestic lifestyle and relatively big family you created with him, and he won't trade it for anything, not even for the number one spot.

A/N: im still fairly new to this, so any feedback will be appreciated! I hope everyone enjoys teehee. I love all of you and tysm for reading!

WC: 1k

 You shut your notebook, letting out a stressful sigh of frustration.

       “I’ll see you tomorrow!” Your partner waved at you, leaving the class. You nodded, grabbing your backpack from the floor. You hated chemistry class. If you thought high school’s chem was hard, college was harder. 

       What made it even worse was the stupid chem teacher. The way they gave you lingering looks, picked on you to answer knowing you weren’t paying attention, and always stuck around to help you. It made you feel humiliated, but a small part of you loved it. You liked the stinging feeling inside your stomach everytime they even breathed your way.

         Today, you had to make a solution to dissolve an item. Your partner was smart, but refused to touch the chemicals. So, she wrote down everything while you tried to figure out the chemicals. You failed every time, and felt embarrassed as you could feel your Professor eyeing your table from the front of the class. 

        You stuffed your books in your backpack, a blush creeping up on your face as your chemistry teacher approached you. “We need to talk.” They said, You looked up at them as they pushed up their glasses. God that eyepatch made you think thoughts no one should ever have. You nodded, knowing this was about your low grade.

      “Yes, Professor Zoe?” Your hands falter a bit, face red in embarrassment. “It’s Professor Hange for you.” They chuckled. They pressed their hips against the table, fingers playing with their many rings. You nodded, putting your backpack on your shoulders. “I wanted to talk about your grade in chem. I know it’s not the easiest class, but I know you can do it. I have a few options for you.”  They spoke in a low tone, eyes trailing for your hands, up your chest and stopped at your eyes. 

        “W-what would those options be, Professor Hange?” You kept eye contact, face blushing. “Well, for one, you could just redo all the assignments and tests, and I’ll give you the higher grade.” Hange licked their lips before looking down at their veiny hands. “Or, since this is the biggest lab we have, you could come in after dinner and we could redo this lab. I could help.” They stared down at your lips, before looking back up at your conflicted face. 

        You hated sitting there and doing the assignments and tests, you knew you would just fail again. Plus, if you chose the second option, you would get to spend more alone time with Hange. Your stomach turned just at the thought of it.

         “I’ll come in after dinner.” You nodded, smiling. “Okay. Meet me here at five, ok? The door will be unlocked.” Hange gave you a small smile before walking back to their desk. You walked out of the class, a big grin plastered on your face.

-

        You got home, showered, styled your hair and got all dolled up.

       Normally at school, sweats and a jacket would do, but you wanted to look good for Hange. You walked down the chemistry hallway, your hands toying with your phone nervously. Your heart raced with every step you took, close to Hanges classroom. It felt like the shortest walk ever. 

          The white door was cracked open a bit. You pushed it open, looking around the empty classroom. The lights were a bit dim and there was a quiet typing noise. “Hey! You made it.” Hange stood up. You blushed as your eyes met theirs. 

        Their button up shirt was tucked into their black pants, the tops buttons unbuttoned down a bit, exposing their collarbones. Their sleeves were rolled up, exposing a slither of their upper arm tattoo that stopped below their elbow. Not to mention that eyepatch that drives you insane.

       “It’s all set up.” Hange walked towards the table, giving you a smirk. You put your phone in the pocket of your shorts, leaning on the table. “Okay so, if you demonstrate this correctly, I will give you a hundred for the whole semester, ok? I don’t want you to fail.” Hange stood beside you as you nodded. 

      “Ok, which one is the acid?” They watched as your hands grabbed the clear liquid. “That’s correct. Now add it to the blue solution. Just a third of it, not all.” Hange watched over your shoulder. “How much is a third?” You asked, a blush creeping up your neck.

        “Here.” Hange grabbed your hand in theirs. Your hand felt like it was on fire and your heart was beating so fast you swore your Professor could hear it. “Like this.” Hange whispered in your ear, their body up against yours. Your hips hit the table, Hange’s other hand against your waist. You could feel all of them. Your face turned red, a small sigh leaving your lips. Hange didn’t remove their face from beside your ear. 

         The solution turned red. “There you go. Now add this.” Hange kept their position, handing you a packet full of powder. As you opened it, Hange’s hands were on either side of you, grasping the edge of the table. You were trapped, and you loved it. You poured the powder in the solution, watching it turn yellow. “See? You did amazing.” Hange stayed pressed against you. “Is it done?” You asked, hair falling in front of your face. 

         Hange turned you around, smirking. “Yes. You did well. I think you deserve more than just an A.” Hange leaned in. You looked down at their soft lips, before meeting their eyes. They were full of lust and desperation. 

        Hange grabbed your face, lips meeting yours. They molded perfectly against each other, shaky breaths leaving your mouth. “You did good. Such a good girl.” Hange pulled away before connecting your lips again. Their soft hands traveled down your chest, body, and stopped at your shorts. 

        You unbuttoned them quickly. Hange smirked, pressing small kisses on your neck as they lifted you up on the table behind them. The cold made your skin crawl. Hange pushed you back, pulling you shorts down to your ankles. 

         Hange let out a needy sigh, their eyes trailing down your body. They stopped at the small star tattoo on your hip, making them smile. They leaned down, their eyes looking into yours. With the tip of their tongue, they traced the tattoo, making you whimper impatiently. “Tell me what you want, princess.” They press a kiss on the small star. 

        “I want you to fuck me.” You breathe out. Hange, without a warning, pressed their lips against your wet clit. You threw your head back, cheeks red. They slipped their tongue through your folds, pulling back as you let out a loud moan.

      They pull back, taking the rest of your shorts off. Your pink panties appear in their hand. “Open.” They take their pointer and thumb finger on your chin, opening your mouth. They stuff your panties in your mouth, licking their lips. “Be a good girl and quiet down unless you wanna get us caught.” 

      You nod, chest heaving up and down. Hange slipped in their middle finger, watching as your legs closed. Hange pried them open, tongue playing your bud as they added another finger in you. Your muffled moans pleasured Hange. 

          Their tongue worked their way around their own fingers, making your teeth clench around the lace. Hange pulled away, fingers still working you. “You’re so good for me.” She whispered against your soft skin. “So good.” Her hand slipped under your shirt, groping your chest. You held her wrist, eyes watering and drool coming down your chin. 

     Branding the taste of you on their tongue was now their favorite thing ever. The way you arched your back, pleading them through muffled moans to go faster.  Your fingers tangled themselves around Hange’s hair, eyes rolling back. Your thighs clenched around their head, legs shaking slightly. You are so close.

         Hange caught on, pulling their head away. Your movements stopped, staring as Hange stood in between your legs, lips glistening with your arousal. “You’re gonna have to earn this A, baby.” Their long fingers took the panties out of your mouth. A string of saliva hung onto the cloth. Hange kissed you, tongue against yours. You sloppily kissed back, bucking your hips for any sort of friction. 

       Hange picked you up, kissing your neck and you wrapped your legs around their waist. Hange backup against their chair, sitting down with you straddling their waist. They slid your shirt off quickly, hands massaging your breast through your lace bra.  

     “Sit.” Hange moved their thighs so you sat on one of them. You leaned into their neck, a shaky breath leaving your parted lips. “Go ahead, baby. Show me you deserve this.” Their cold hands grazed your nipples, down your stomach and landed on your thighs. 

        Your hips moved back and forth on Hange’s thigh, cold fingertips drawing small circles on your bare legs. “Fuck, Professor.” You mewl, head thrown back. Hange took the opportunity, kissing your neck again. They focused on one spot, nibbling and sucking it as you fastened your pace. Their hands grasped themselves on your hips, fingers digging into your skin.

       “Look at me.” They demanded. You tried your best, but the feeling of euphoria had taken over and it was hard to keep eye contact. “Look at me.” They repeated. One hand grabbed your cheeks, squishing them together as your legs squeezed Hange’s drenched thigh. “Slow down.” Hange pressed their forehead against yours, this time kissing you slowly. “But Professor-” A hard slap on your cheek interrupted you. “Slower.” 

       You whine, but oblige. Your hips slowed down, the feeling starting to build up in your stomach again. You bite your lip down, Arms gripping Hange’s shoulders. “Oh, fuck.” You let out, face in Hange’s chest. “Fuck.” You repeat again, letting it happen. “Keep going, dear.” Hange held back moans from watching you fall apart on their lap,

       You felt their hand inside you again. Your legs buckled as their fingers swirled around you, collecting your cum. Hange brought their fingers up to their mouth, eyes watching yours intently as they sucked their fingers clean. 

       You open your mouth, sticking out your tongue. Hange spat a mix of both of you into your mouth, letting out a pleasurable sigh as you swallowed with a smile.  “These are for me to remind myself why you deserve this.” Hange took your panties, slipping them in their pocket. They gave you one last kiss, pushing your damp hair behind your ear. “I’ll see you here Friday?” “Friday works.” You smile before tangling yourself back into them.

Royal Surprise // Shuri

Summary/Request: Ouuuu that Shuri smut had my mouth watering. Can you do one where she sneaks away from Wakanda to see the reader who is currently in college in the states? - Anonymous

Pairing: Shuri x Hbcu!FemReader

Warning: Fluff 

Word Count: 1.3k

You let out a sigh as the pencil in your hand tapped away at the notebook on your desk. Trying to figure out the solution to the equation printed on paper was starting to give you a small headache. It was also a pain that your roommate was no help. You were smart but not on her level. Hell, even your girlfriend could answer this question just by glancing at it. She may be the princess of Wakanda but her brain was non comparable. One of the smartest people you know. 

"Still can't figure it out?" A voice broke you from your thoughts and your eyes found your roommates figure. 

"Not yet." You said and she laughed at the way your eyes glared through the braids hanging in front of your face. 

"Come on Y/N. You got it." She said walking towards the door as she slung her bag over her shoulder, headed out the door.

"Yeah with no help from you Riri." You scoffed wishing she would just give you the answer. But according to her, it would help you learn it. "Why can't I just pay you like everyone else?"

"We've known each other for too long to do that. Plus I enjoy watching you struggle. It's what best friends are for." she shrugged feeling way too amused at you failing to answer the problem.

"Haha. Where are you going anyway? Your next class doesn't start for 30 more minutes." You asked and she held up her phone.

"That bullhead from the football team owes me a band. He didn’t pay yesterday, so the price got raised." She smirked and you shook your head. The things people will do for a good grade goes beyond you. 

"So lunch should be on you then?" You laughed as she turned to you with a straight face. "Hey you're the one with the deep pockets, big money."

"Yeah but you haven't figured out that problem yet. Bet still stands genius." You gave a frown as she turned to leave.

"Yeah yeah! I'll bring dinner though." She called out as she closed the door behind her. You shook your head as you continued trying to figure out the problem. You let an hour pass before you felt yourself nodding off, class work completely forgotten in the notebook on your desk. You heard a light knock causing you to stir out of your sleep, checking your phone for the time.

"Riri isn't here!" You shouted at who was probably one of her future customers. You moved to head to the fridge before another knock hit the door. You sighed in frustration as you dragged yourself to the door after slipping on some sweats. "I already told you if you're looking for Riri she's not-" You swung the door open and your jaw just about hit the floor. At the door stood your long distance girlfriend and princess of Wakanda herself. She wore a black tracksuit with the curls in her hair falling over her eyes. You went to start questioning her before she put a finger up to her lips, signaling you to stay quiet. She gently pushed you backwards to get into the room and scoop you up in her arms. 

"What are you doing here?" You asked in a hushed squeal as she kissed you softly. You eagerly returned the kiss after throwing your arms over her shoulders. Her hands held you close before you pulled away with wide eyes. 

"I came to see you. For the first time I grew bored in my lab so I decided to fly out to surprise you.” she told you and you felt like a kid in a candy store. It's not often she has time to call let alone visit. 

"I get that. But who brought you? How did you get here? Okoye isn't outside, is she? Someone might think she's up to something." You began to panic before she grabbed your face.

"No one is outside. I came on my own." She grinned as you grabbed her arms to pull her into your room.

"But what did your mother say about it?" You asked and she shrugged 

"She can't speak on what she doesn't know." You covered your mouth to contain your laughter. 

"You are a sneaky little shit." You said to her and she hugged you again, burying her face in your neck. She missed you. You too miss these moments, every time you have to part from her for a while. But her being here, with you in her arms, soaking in her warmth. You wouldn't trade it for the world. You didn't even hear the door open until the sound of a bag dropping caught your attention. You turned to see Riri with the widest her eyes have ever been.

"Riri, calm down. I can explain." You told her as her hands flew to her head. 

"Calm down? You wanna tell me why my best friend is all up on the princess of Wakanda?!" She said in disbelief and you went to scratch your neck. 

"Riri, this is Shuri. My girlfriend. Baby this is my best friend Riri." You introduced the two as Riri tried to keep her composure. 

"So this is Riri?" Shuri asked with an amused grin as your roommate struggled to hold it together. 

"You know about me? Does she know about me? How come I didn't know about her? Y/N-"

"Okay relax. I didn't tell you because Wakanda had their own problems and I didn't want to involve you." You spoke before she could muster out another question. 

"Y/N is right. My homeland did have its own affairs to deal with. I asked her to keep it on the low. But I am glad to finally meet the person she talks so much about." You grabbed her arm causing her to look down at you. 

"How long do you think you have?" As soon as the question left your mouth a voice spoke out from her kimoyo beads. Riri looked around the room before Shuri held up her wrist.

"Shuri?" A voice sang and you looked up at the princess with a worried glance. 

"Mother." She replied softly. 

"I sent Okoye to fetch you only for her to come back and tell me, you are not here. Is there a reason you aren't at the palace right now?" The queen asked and Shuri gave a nervous laugh.

"I just stepped away from the palace for a couple minutes. Needed to grab some things." She lied trying to cover her tracks.

"Did you forget I can track location daughter." The queen said with a firm tone that even you couldn't lie to her.

"Hi Queen Ramonda." You mumbled a greeting and the queen gave a soft laugh.

"Hello sweet Y/N. Please make sure my daughter returns at an appropriate time." She said to you and you nodded even though she couldn't see me. 

"I'll return soon mother. Just wanted to come see her." Shuri said before kissing you temple.

"I understand child. Just remember to tell me next time." The queen mused, causing her daughter to roll her eyes. You now see where Shuri got her habit of checking locations from.

"Understood. Now I gotta go."

The conversation ended and you grabbed your purse and Shuri's hand as you dashed to the door.

"I'll be back later!" You called out to Riri who was still stunned by the entire ordeal. 

"But what about the class work?" She motioned to your desk still covered in notebook paper.

"Finish it for me. Please? I'll owe you big time!" You shouted going out the door before she could respond. She stared at the door you just locked and shook her head.

"Ain't that some shit."

TWST characters as ✨best friends✨ (Octavinelle Edition)

What would it be like being friends with them? Come and find out! I offer my thoughts on what they would be like so I'm sorry if some of the characters are a little Ooc. Some characters I don't know as well but I'll certainly try! More dorms coming soon!

Azul:

you get so many best friend privileges

like you get discounts at the Mostro Lounge

or on a day he's feeling generous, free food or drink

I don't think he'd try to make many contracts with you

and if he does, the contract will benefit you

you are also well protected from other people

Floyd:

scary eel friend #2

I know I said Jade is scary so people won't bother you much, but that is taken to another level with Floyd

Floyd threatens people much more and is more likely to act on it so people fear him more

someone bothers you and he's ready to fight

he's not as good at coming up with solutions to your problems but he's very good at distracting you

he hates to see you upset and he tries to cheer you up

sometimes at the expense of others

he doesn't mind of course

if you hang out with him while he works, he suddenly stops working

he would rather hang out with you than work

Azul has asked you before to not just show up when he's working but it's up to you if you actually listen to him or not

you also can help with his mood swings

if he isn't interested in something but he finds out you are, he's slightly more interested

things are more fun with your best friend✨

don't get me wrong tho, this doesn't mean he'll put a whole lot of effort in

but he will still do it

automatically friends with Jade

Jade is happy Floyd has a good friend

i’m only half-joking about Itto as geo archon tho. like the thing is that he is seemingly not part of any ongoing or past main storylines and hoyo likes to include all 5 stars at least at some point in some role. And the characters that didn’t play their part yet all have set ups for the future, waiting for pay off. Like Mona is clearly set up for when Hexenzirkel will come into play. like yeah mb Itto is an exception to the rule and he’s just hanging out, being charismatic and comic relief, but like thats not ergonomic storytelling. And if he does have some future major storyline to play out, I think it can only be becoming geo archon.

hear me out:

1.i’m replaying liyue rn and the throughline of “The new lord of geo will arise sooner or later” is brought up several times by several characters, both Ning and Zhongli also name new geo archon as a solution for the mora production crisis. Why would hoyo set up the whole mora crisis and address it several times if they are not going to bring it up? it would literally not be a problem if they didn’t say there needs to be a geo archon for mora.

2. Itto is very similar in character to young Morax - stubborn, brash, proud, brute force, charismatic, cares about protecting what he sees as his people, able to inspire loyalty even in ppl who lost hope.

3.he’s also set up for character development arc. he’s strong, has heart of gold and is a natural leader, but he wastes all of it on childish games. this is like obvious set up for classic ruler finally finds an area to apply himself and learns to take responsibility 

4. Itto’s right hand is Kuki, who comes from shrine maiden background, but she finished Liyue law school. Like??? thats such a specific set up that gives her both knowledge of religious institutions AND specifically Liyue laws. like hello?? she is the best advisor new geo archon could ever have

5.the only time Itto did show up in major storyline was the chasm, which connected him both the adepti thru Xiao and to Liyue goverment thru Yelan and Yanfei. 

6. Hoyo loooooves doing like subversions of expectations and ~~future mirrors the past and everything repeats~~ shit with a twist. Ning and Itto would mirror Zhongli and Guizhong rule of a strong himbo archon whos bad at money and innovative smart woman, but with a twist that their personalities are switched - Itto is charismatic and never shuts up about nonsense like Guizhong, Ning is serious and stoic like Morax. There was a popular theory that Ning is Guizhong reincarnated bc she has a lot of ties to Guizhong symbolically thru glaze lilies, ballista, etc, but I think its not reincarnation, it’s that she is the parallel to Guizhong in the new era. 

7. there are some incorrect fools with bad taste saying Ning and Itto would not get along, but like. Listen. He’s an orphan who was thrown out his village due to prejudice, but didn’t give up, formed his own crew who are intensely loyal to him, he’s unruly, loud, obnoxious, funny, brash, but has a heart of gold and when he has to protect his ppl, he has a spine despite goofing around other times. Thats literally Beidou. Itto is specifically Ning’s favorite type of emotional support himbo, not to mention that powerful ppl in general are drawn to Itto due to his sincerity (Ayato, Yae)

if i was a youtube lore person i’d throw in superficial shit like Itto has a lot of King and Royal descriptions tied to him, despite not having any actual royal heritage, but i just wanna share fun theory that i think is buried in the narrative

“And what if I want you to kiss me somewhere else?”

Jungkook x Reader

Fluff, suggestive, angst if you squint your eyes really hard

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qatar was boring, for you at least.

You’re not sure wether or not your boyfriend is to blame for your mundane trip so far. You understand that he’s here under immense pressure, having to perform in front of billions of people on a stage that only makes itself available every four years isn’t something to take lightly. However, when he invited you to come along, you thought that he would have liked to spend at least some of his free time with you alone. That being said, you also thought that there wouldn’t be so many staff accompanying you both on every outing. It seems you were wrong to make both of those assumptions.

You know that having an idol boyfriend comes with very little privacy sometimes, but today the amount of cameras following your every move at the amusement park was the least of your worries when your boyfriends attention was being taken up by the female staff that seemed to be enjoying this trip a whole lot more than you.

Perhaps it was how all three of the girls would somehow always find a way to sit next to him on every ride, leaving you to sit next to Chanyeol, one of Jungkooks bodyguards and the only person who seemed to be paying you any attention. Or maybe it was how you couldn’t even walk next to him without slightly getting elbowed so someone else could squeeze next to him. Actually, none of that mattered, it was most definitely how Jungkook seemed to be oblivious to all of this, only paying you attention when he’d hold your hand whenever the amount of people surrounding your group got slightly alarming. Regardless of the reason, your patience was wearing thin.

Your group had gone through all the rides the place had to offer. Tired and hungry from a long day, you all decided to go back to the hotel and eat at one of the resteraunts on the first floor. This way, you could all go straight to bed whenever you wanted. It was at the restaurant that Jungkook started giving you the attention that you’d been craving all day.

You were turned to Chanyeol, carefully dissecting the menu together to see what you both wanted instead of joining the tables group conversation, when you felt your chair being scraped in the other direction, right into Jungkooks own chair. When it stopped moving, you looked down to see him remove his hand from one of your chairs legs.

“Hey” he said softly as his forehead came down to rest against the side of your head, the arm that he had used to relocate you now laying on the back of your chair.

“Hi” you replied as his sweet, musky, and familiar scent enveloped your senses like it hadn’t been able to do all day.

“Watcha gonna order?” He looked down at the menu you and Chan-Yeol had been looking at that was still in your hands.

“Well I wanted to get something with chicken, but it looks like every plate that has chicken is spicy. ChanYeol said that-”

“What’s wrong with your food being spicy?”

“I don’t want my stomach to hurt later” you replied to his slight interruption as you frowned at the menu.

His lips got incredibly close to your ear, so close that he nibbled on it a little before coming up with a solution to your very serious issue.

“Order some spicy chicken, and if your stomach hurts later, I’ll kiss it better.”

Jungkook truly is a master with words, always saying the cheekiest of things that gave you butterflies without failure. However, what he just said affected you more than normal, probably because you hadn’t seen this side of him all day.

“And what if I want you to kiss me somewhere else?”

You knew it probably wasn’t very smart to say something so provoking in front of so many people, even if you had made sure to whisper it enough that nobody other than him would hear, but you’d been starved from him all day and desperate to keep him engaged. When you lifted your eyes to meet his and found that he was looking at you with a hunger so intense that it caught you off guard, you knew you had made the right choice.

“Where else did you have in mind, baby?” He whispered back with a very slight growl, his eyes glued to your own and a grin slowly developing on his face.

You were about to get even bolder and tell him exactly where when the waiter showed up to take your orders. While his arm stayed across the back of your chair, your boyfriend reluctantly peeled his face away from yours to order a plate of spicy marinated chicken for you both. You had thought that your luck would run out after this, and you’d have to go back to making conversation with Chanyeol as Jungkook entertained the rest of the table. However, you were pleasantly surprised when Jungkook turned right back to you after placing your order, his eyes looking at you in adoration as only he could.

You spent the rest of the dinner glued right to Jungkooks side. While you waited for the food to arrive, he played with a strand of your hair as you told him about all your favorite rides of the day, how the roller coaster made you bump your head a little, and how the drop ride made you feel uneasy. When the food arrived, Jungkooks attention did not waiver in the slightest. The hand that had been on the back of your chair was now on your thigh, the other shoveling spoonfuls of his dish into his mouth. You even had to giggle and push his spoon away from your mouth when he attempted to feed you, complaining that you guys were eating the exact same food. He merely responded by picking food up from your plate and trying to feed you that instead, to which you couldn’t reject. As for the rest of the table, they continued on with conversation that you and Jungkook rarely, if at all, contributed to.

You were barely halfway done with your food when Jungkook waved the waiter over and pushed everyone to order themselves some dessert. He waited for everyone to finish before he asked for a slice of cake for the both of you.

“Kook, It’s gonna take me at least another twenty minutes to finish all of this, let alone dessert.” You whined as he giggled at your distressed state, his own plate completely empty on the table.

“The faster we get through dessert, the faster we can get to our room and you can show me where you wanted me to kiss you so badly” His hushed tone sent shivers through your entire body, despite his warm hand working its way up and down your thigh.

You immediately drop your utensils on your plate and announce that you’re done eating, to which he chuckles at before turning to the rest of the table and jumping into the conversation effortlessly. This no longer worries you in any way, because his hand doesn’t leave your thigh, assuring you that he’s right there next to you.

When the waiter finally places your dessert in front of the both of you, Jungkook wastes no time in bringing a cake filled spoon to your mouth, urging you to take the first taste. Your eyes don’t leave his as you open your mouth slightly to take his offering, a low hum of approval coming out of you as the chocolate icing melts in your mouth.

“How does it taste?”Jungkook asks, that sound that you made not allowing his eyes to leave your face.

“It’s amazing! Here, try some-” The spoonful that you were gonna offer him stops midair as he drops his own spoon, both of his hands softly cradling your face as he leans in to connect his lips with your own. You feel his tongue poking for permission to explore your mouth further, and you shamelessly allow him even though you’re sure that letting him have his way probably wouldn’t be so appropriate for this setting.

When he’s satisfied with what his tongue has accomplished, he pulls away slowly, maintaining eye contact as he licks his bottom lip.

“Hmm, it does taste amazing.”

Damn your boyfriend and his dirty mouth. As soon as he utters that response to you, you’re abruptly standing up from your chair, causing everyone to look at you.

“I’m kinda tired everyone, im gonna head to my room.”

You feel Jungkook chuckling next to you, ready to stand up and include himself on your declaration to go back to your room. However, before he makes it out of the chair, Chanyeol speaks up.

“Do you want me to walk you? You shouldn’t be going anywhere alone.”

You smile down at him, ready to politely decline his sweet offer, but Jungkook beats you to it.

“She’s good, I got her.”

His tone is a little cold for your liking, seeing as how Chanyeol was the only one today who didn’t forget at any point that you existed. Jungkooks actions irk you a little further as he holds your hand tightly and begins walking you away from the table, not allowing you to say your goodbyes to anyone or thank Chanyeol for his chivalry.

“You didn’t have to be so mean Kook” you mutter as soon as you’re both out of the restaurant and well out of earshot from the table.

“And he didn’t have to offer to walk you anywhere. Why would he have to do that when I’m here?” He scoffs as you reach the elevator and he presses the button that will summon it.

“And why would he have to keep me company all day if you’re here? Why has he talked to me more all day today than you have in the last three?”

As soon as the subtle accusation leaves your lips, you regret it. Instead of looking at you with the same fire he directed at Chanyeol just a few minutes ago, his eyes soften at the slightly hurt tone that you use.

As he leads you into the elevator, you see his face continue to fall as he processes your words.

“Kook, I didn’t want to bring that up at all” you sigh, “it’s just that you’ve kinda been ignoring me all trip and like I totally get it because I know you’re here to do something very serious and important but I thought today would have been different cause you finally had some free time but you didn’t even try to do anything with me and I had to go on every ride with Chanyeol and I just wish you’d-”

If there was anything Jungkook could do perfectly, it was shut you up with a kiss. His lips crashed onto yours mid sentence, not with the mischief that they did in the restaurant, but instead with a sort of softness he usually used when he wanted to apologize for something.

When his lips finally pulled away, his forehead stayed on yours, his hands rubbing your sides affectionately.

“I’m such an idiot” he muttered, mostly to himself than to you. When you didn’t say anything, he continued.

“It’s just that rehearsals for the performance have been going like shit. They keep changing the choreo on me and I’m struggling to remember everything. It’s my first time performing without the boys and I think it’s affecting me more than I ever thought it could. I spent all day trying to to go over things in my head that I sort of forgot about everything else, even you. I’m a terrible boyfriend”

Jungkooks confession hurt your heart terribly. You knew that whatever reason he would have had for ignoring you today, it most definitely would have had nothing to do with you, but hearing your boyfriend open up about something that usually causes him no trouble was not something you expected at all. 

You quickly decide that the best place to console the love of your life is not an elevator where someone could walk in on you both at any moment, so as soon as the doors open on your floor you grab his hand firmly and lead him to your shared room. He follows you quietly, your silence scaring him in a way you clearly don’t want. You fumble a little with using the key to open the door, considering you refuse to drop his hand at any point. When the door is finally open, you get straight to work. 

Jungkook looks at you with a confused expression as you lead him to the king sized bed in the middle of the room. You push him gently onto it, and when his back touches the sheets, you begin by removing his left shoe, then the right. His confused stare doesn’t leave your face, but he doesn’t speak up until he sees you beginning to remove your own shoes. 

“Y/N, I-” 

“Shhhh” you silence him softly as you crawl onto the bed next to him. His confused glare turns into one of relief as you motion for him to come closer. As he turns, tucks his head into the crook of your neck, and tightly wraps his arms around your middle, your own hands go straight to his hair, massaging his scalp in the way you know he likes. 

“You’ve got two whole days before the performance. You’re gonna learn whatever you haven’t yet and everything is gonna be okay. You’re gonna be okay.”

You feel him sniffle into your neck at your words, and his arms tighten around you. 

“Every performance that you’ve done with the boys has been amazing, but you are amazing in your own way and you’re more than capable of doing it alone. You just gotta get out of this pretty little head of yours.”

You massage his scalp a little deeper, and you hear a small noise of satisfaction coming from him.

After about ten minutes of you comforting him in silence, he lifts himself out of your embrace. You start to complain, but when you realize that he doesn’t plan on going far, and simply readjusts himself so his body covers your own and his eyes can meet yours, you surrender. 

“I love you, please tell me you know that” He says sweetly, pleading with his eyes and words for you to understand how sorry he is.

“I know”

“It wasn’t at all my intention to ignore you today, please tell me you know that.”

“I know.”

“If I could go back in time and redo this entire trip and make you happy, I would. Please tell me you know that”

After that you give in and pull him towards you in fervor. You accept his apology with your lips. When you feel him smiling into the kiss, you know that he knows hes forgiven. 

“So..” He says slowly as he pulls away, lust in his eyes and hands that travel down to where you’ve been needing him this entire trip.

“Where was it that you wanted me to kiss you?”

Royal Surprise // Shuri

Summary/Request: Ouuuu that Shuri smut had my mouth watering. Can you do one where she sneaks away from Wakanda to see the reader who is currently in college in the states? - Anonymous

Pairing: Shuri x Hbcu!FemReader

Warning: Fluff 

Word Count: 1.3k

You let out a sigh as the pencil in your hand tapped away at the notebook on your desk. Trying to figure out the solution to the equation printed on paper was starting to give you a small headache. It was also a pain that your roommate was no help. You were smart but not on her level. Hell, even your girlfriend could answer this question just by glancing at it. She may be the princess of Wakanda but her brain was non comparable. One of the smartest people you know. 

“Still can’t figure it out?” A voice broke you from your thoughts and your eyes found your roommates figure. 

“Not yet.” You said and she laughed at the way your eyes glared through the braids hanging in front of your face. 

“Come on Y/N. You got it.” She said walking towards the door as she slung her bag over her shoulder, headed out the door.

“Yeah with no help from you Riri.” You scoffed wishing she would just give you the answer. But according to her, it would help you learn it. “Why can’t I just pay you like everyone else?”

“We’ve known each other for too long to do that. Plus I enjoy watching you struggle. It’s what best friends are for.” she shrugged feeling way too amused at you failing to answer the problem.

“Haha. Where are you going anyway? Your next class doesn’t start for 30 more minutes.” You asked and she held up her phone.

“That bullhead from the football team owes me a band. He didn’t pay yesterday, so the price got raised.” She smirked and you shook your head. The things people will do for a good grade goes beyond you. 

“So lunch should be on you then?” You laughed as she turned to you with a straight face. “Hey you’re the one with the deep pockets, big money.”

“Yeah but you haven’t figured out that problem yet. Bet still stands genius.” You gave a frown as she turned to leave.

“Yeah yeah! I’ll bring dinner though.” She called out as she closed the door behind her. You shook your head as you continued trying to figure out the problem. You let an hour pass before you felt yourself nodding off, class work completely forgotten in the notebook on your desk. You heard a light knock causing you to stir out of your sleep, checking your phone for the time.

“Riri isn’t here!” You shouted at who was probably one of her future customers. You moved to head to the fridge before another knock hit the door. You sighed in frustration as you dragged yourself to the door after slipping on some sweats. “I already told you if you’re looking for Riri she’s not-” You swung the door open and your jaw just about hit the floor. At the door stood your long distance girlfriend and princess of Wakanda herself. She wore a black tracksuit with the curls in her hair falling over her eyes. You went to start questioning her before she put a finger up to her lips, signaling you to stay quiet. She gently pushed you backwards to get into the room and scoop you up in her arms. 

“What are you doing here?” You asked in a hushed squeal as she kissed you softly. You eagerly returned the kiss after throwing your arms over her shoulders. Her hands held you close before you pulled away with wide eyes. 

“I came to see you. For the first time I grew bored in my lab so I decided to fly out to surprise you.” she told you and you felt like a kid in a candy store. It’s not often she has time to call let alone visit. 

"I get that. But who brought you? How did you get here? Okoye isn’t outside, is she? Someone might think she’s up to something.” You began to panic before she grabbed your face.

“No one is outside. I came on my own.” She grinned as you grabbed her arms to pull her into your room.

“But what did your mother say about it?” You asked and she shrugged 

“She can’t speak on what she doesn’t know.” You covered your mouth to contain your laughter. 

“You are a sneaky little shit.” You said to her and she hugged you again, burying her face in your neck. She missed you. You too miss these moments, every time you have to part from her for a while. But her being here, with you in her arms, soaking in her warmth. You wouldn’t trade it for the world. You didn’t even hear the door open until the sound of a bag dropping caught your attention. You turned to see Riri with the widest her eyes have ever been.

“Riri, calm down. I can explain.” You told her as her hands flew to her head. 

“Calm down? You wanna tell me why my best friend is all up on the princess of Wakanda?!” She said in disbelief and you went to scratch your neck. 

“Riri, this is Shuri. My girlfriend. Baby this is my best friend Riri.” You introduced the two as Riri tried to keep her composure. 

“So this is Riri?” Shuri asked with an amused grin as your roommate struggled to hold it together. 

“You know about me? Does she know about me? How come I didn’t know about her? Y/N-”

“Okay relax. I didn’t tell you because Wakanda had their own problems and I didn’t want to involve you.” You spoke before she could muster out another question. 

“Y/N is right. My homeland did have its own affairs to deal with. I asked her to keep it on the low. But I am glad to finally meet the person she talks so much about.” You grabbed her arm causing her to look down at you. 

“How long do you think you have?” As soon as the question left your mouth a voice spoke out from her kimoyo beads. Riri looked around the room before Shuri held up her wrist.

“Shuri?” A voice sang and you looked up at the princess with a worried glance. 

“Mother.” She replied softly. 

“I sent Okoye to fetch you only for her to come back and tell me, you are not here. Is there a reason you aren’t at the palace right now?” The queen asked and Shuri gave a nervous laugh.

“I just stepped away from the palace for a couple minutes. Needed to grab some things.” She lied trying to cover her tracks.

“Did you forget I can track location daughter.” The queen said with a firm tone that even you couldn’t lie to her.

“Hi Queen Ramonda.” You mumbled a greeting and the queen gave a soft laugh.

“Hello sweet Y/N. Please make sure my daughter returns at an appropriate time.” She said to you and you nodded even though she couldn’t see me. 

“I’ll return soon mother. Just wanted to come see her.” Shuri said before kissing you temple.

“I understand child. Just remember to tell me next time.” The queen mused, causing her daughter to roll her eyes. You now see where Shuri got her habit of checking locations from.

“Understood. Now I gotta go.”

The conversation ended and you grabbed your purse and Shuri’s hand as you dashed to the door.

“I’ll be back later!” You called out to Riri who was still stunned by the entire ordeal. 

“But what about the class work?” She motioned to your desk still covered in notebook paper.

“Finish it for me. Please? I’ll owe you big time!” You shouted going out the door before she could respond. She stared at the door you just locked and shook her head.

“Ain’t that some shit.”

What do you make of RWBY being a Crunchyroll show now? On a practical level, I'm pretty fine with it, means I don't have to pay for FIRST again. But it also seems like a very surprising choice. Can't help but wonder whether RT First, or even Rooster Teeth as an entity in its own right, doesn't have much of a future...

To me it's not surprising at all, it's just a smart business decision:

Crunchyroll has a way bigger subscriber base than RT First ever did. If they want the audience for RWBY to grow, it makes sense for them to have it on a big platform like CR. YouTube used to fulfill that purpose for RWBY, but as RT has already explained, the ad revenue they got from YT wasn't enough to justify putting it up there for free when the show's budget got bigger, so having it on a big premium streaming site is the logical solution.

Crunchyroll is no longer owned by the same conglomerate as Rooster Teeth, it was bought out by Sony in 2021. This means that they likely had to pay a hefty licensing fee to get the exclusive rights to stream RWBY for a whole year, and said fee was likely a lot more money than RT was bringing in from First subscriptions.

Long time lurker here who finally took the plunge and watched/skimmed through their ‘historical’ doc. For what it's worth, here's my amateur psychoanalysis of it:

They both suffer from substantial minority complexes: Him for not being his brother (who’s more good looking, smarter and is to be king). She for being a child of a broken home and divorced parents with sometimes dubious backgrounds. She seems to always have wanted to be her own version of Gwyneth Paltrow, in all ways.

She seems to suffer from some sort of magical thinking, where her life necessarily must feel like a Hollywood film. I think her main sources of inspiration are Notting Hill, Four Weddings and a Funeral, You’e got Mail, When Harry met Sally, etc. The song choices, the wedding speech, poems etc. give it away. Reality probably became too painful for her at some point as a child, so she started inventing a magical version of it that she’s trying to recreate. Becoming rich and famous is prob her way of proving to anyone who made her feel inferior as a child that she is worthy, even superior. She needs people to think she lives in some sort of ideal Pinterest version of California where she’s a modern Gwyneth Paltrow, royal to boot. It’s all wide brimmed Cali-hats, barefoot Joni Mitchell running, hop-in-the-car for a secret beach swim with your lover, topped off with avocados kind of vibes. Not a care in the world, happy happy happy. It’s all very nineties, but it makes sense considering when she grew up. She’s enacting the dream of the hurt child of a divorce, and he’s paying for it.

Of course she hates Kate. She represents everything Meghan wanted to be growing up: from a loving core family, financially comfortable, tall and slim (I bet that’s a thing), polite, educated, artsy, knows how to carry herself, etc. Kate not playing into Meghan’s hugging and ‘American’ ways was probably too much of a painful rejection for Meghan, a reminder that she’s really a fairly clumsy person with poor manners from a broken family (my guess is this is what she actually feels like inside, even if it’s subconscious). You can see it in the way she looks at Kate that she triggers some deep sense of inferiority, and so her solution is to be a b****, because she was never taught that jealousy usually says more about yourself than it does about the other person.

Her mom doesn’t feel genuine, not a lot of kindness shines through there. It’s interesting how close she seems to have gotten to her daughter once Harry’s credit cards were in the picture. Harsh, I know, but the whole thing feels off.

I somehow think the truest thing they have in common is that they’re both products of divorced parents, with dads who have felt a lot of subsequent guilt, trying to compensate for their failings by not calling out bad behaviour, and not making them take responsibility for anything growing up. The result is two overgrown teenagers with no sense of responsibility, no self deprecation, and zero self awareness. Heading for disaster methinks. 

Everyone is taking advantage of his status and money, and he doesn’t see it. Very sad. 

He seems happiest when he's smoking weed.

She shape shifts constantly; in their ‘candid’ moments (who knows what is actually real, it’s all filmed), she’s the uber feminine, helpless, sweet girl that Harry gets to save, who makes him feel smart. When she’s being interviewed independently, or sitting at a UN conference table, her voice deepens and she shows up as someone completely different, the ‘smart one’. There are numerous examples of her shape shifting throughout the years; it's been there from the beginning. 

I actually find Harry and her dad quite similar - both bratty ***holes.

Sorry for the lengthiness, and thanks for a great blog! You've provided sanity with your great analysis of this whole drama throughout the years - thank you :)

Thanks for sending this in!

I agree with the inferiority complex, and I think they both compensated for that by creating these over-the-top personas based on their paid press. The trigger for Harry's new persona was his time in Afghanistan and the trigger for Meghan's new persona was getting her suits role.

They both suffer from magical thinking. Thanks for focusing on Meg's magical realism, instead of Harry's. I found the bus tour of Hollywood boring when I saw the documentary and I wondered why they bothered to put it in, but I think you're right and it's all about her magical transformation. I noted the romcom element as well and one thing I found interesting is that the first three episodes of the documentary resemble regular royal documentaries with stock music, but then the last three incorporate romcom music. It's a big shift in tone, and it also happens in the book. The first few chapters are royal biography (albeit kind of weird) and then it's all rom com with a big dash of spite.

I had not considered this aspect of the Kate rivalry, and I'm going to have to think about this. I think you're right, but it goes a bit deeper. I think Kate was supposed to become part of "the family she never had." She was supposed to be the loving sister Sam was not. That's how the magical thinking worked. That's why there is so much bitterness towards Kate. Notice that Charles actually stepped into the dad role Meghan expected him to play, but Will and Kate were not willing to play the part of loving brother and sister. That's why there is so much anger there.

There's something off about Doria, but she's smart enough to stay on the sidelines.

Divorce is a big factor, I agree.

He doesn't see it at all, which is odd because we all thought both he and Will had a good radar for users. It almost seems like he's used to lower-level users, and he doesn't realize how things work at this level of money where people are willing to give you one of their empty homes until they figure out how they can monetize you.

Drugs are a huge factor. I didn't understand how dependent he was on them until I read his book.

Everyone seems to experience a different Meghan, and many people (Naniki, Nina, staff) have said she starts out charming and then she turns on you and becomes a different person. It's going to be interesting to see how she turns on Harry.

They say you end up marrying your dad, and Meghan seems to be proving that. She turned a prince into Thomas Markle.

Thanks for the kind words. It has been a wild ride, hasn't it.

Jin

You really believe you can leave Jin because suddenly you had a big promotion at your workplace? Really? Cause if so, then you better think twice before doing anything. The only reason you even got such a promotion at work is Jin. He thought you would be happier with an upgrade at work but seems like his kind action was mistaken as a sign for you to leave him. That’s your fault and Jin is gonna make sure you know who’s the boss in this relationship. Just as fast as you got the promotion, you’ll be fired from your job, leaving you speechless at the abrupt change of events.

Too bad for you as it only leaves you with a single solution: going back to Jin. He’d be subtle yet assertive when it comes to letting you know that you can’t leave him on a mere whim. If you agree to come back to Jin, there’s no going back on your word. You’re his for how long he wants you and Jin wants you forever. So, better start preparing the wedding.

“Don’t cry, princess. I know it feels like it’s too much but don’t worry. I’ll always take good care of you. From now on, you’re mine and I'm yours. Now, what type of ring do you prefer?”

Suga

If you think you can survive without him, then you’re less smart than what he assumed. Yoongi is a prudent man and his undying love for you hasn’t altered this trait of his, if anything it has made him extra wary of anything that could separate you from him. Although it pisses him off that you want to get away from, it doesn’t really surprise him as he knew you never wanted to link with him. It was only a business relationship for you.

Having that fact present in his mind, Suga had before handed added a special clause into the contract you both had signed. It contained the small and insignificant detail that if you ever wanted to break free of the agreement then you’d have to refund all the money Yoongi had “invested” in you, which included gifts, the money he gave you, the apartment you were living in, among many others. You were blissfully unaware of such a clause until the day you tried to break the contract, something that didn’t please Yoongi at all.

Before the end of the day you were spammed with multiple calls and warnings from Yoongi’s legal team, informing you about the alarming amount of debt you had towards Yoongi. And of course, never in a million years you could pay off the debt, leaving you no other choice than to return to Yoongi’s embrace.

You always knew Yoongi was a mysterious and tricky man, but you thought he’d do this to you. Yoongi doesn’t care about that as long as he has you back with him.

“I know you can’t pay the money. And yes, I'm also aware that this clause wasn’t present in the contract you signed. But I never said I play fair, did I? Sometimes we have to get our hands dirty to get what we want.”

JHope

After the way you tried to break the relation, Hoseok felt deeply hurt and rejected. Why would you want to end the beautiful connection between the two of you? For him, it was never about the money or a contract, but it was the powerful love and trust that he had on you. You are perfect, in his eyes. And yet you just ended things with him like it never meant anything for you. He gave you his love, his money, his everything, and it still wasn’t enough for you.

Had you left him for someone better? With more money? Or perhaps someone more special? Either way, Hoseok had to find out to so he took plenty of vacation days from his office to concentrate on the most important thing for him: you. He started following you around, wherever you went, so did he. Hoseok would go as far as to have someone hack into your devices to see what you were up to.

Once he realizes it was all because of the idiotic man you called boyfriend, he snapped. Hoseok made sure the man was no longer in the picture, that you were all free to be his. He wouldn’t kill the man, no. Hoseok would have a better purpose for him. He’d only want the guy to be left with serious health damages to the point that you’d literally have to come back to Hoseok in order to pay for your boyfriend’s treatment. To which Hoseok would generously agree, as long as you leave your boyfriend, of course. He needs you to be his and his alone.

And if you really want to save the life of your boyfriend, then you’ll do exactly as he says.

“I can give you the money you need. But what do I get in return? Cause I only want one thing and that’s you, my love. It’s a take it or leave it offer, so decide wisely. No one else is going to help you. No one besides me.”

RM

Just the fact that you tried to leave him, even after all the help he’s given to you, proves Namjoon that you are dumb and helpless, just like the rest of the people.

Does he ask for too much? No. All he asks for is your companion on weekends and during some business trips, for a few dinners and some dates. Heck, he doesn’t even make you sleep with him, even though with the right type of encouragement he knows you would. Then why did he even bother to act like a gentleman? So you can just leave him in the end?

Not gonna happen, not while Namjoon is alive. You may try to erase him out of your life, but Namjoon is meticulous and strategic, and he knows exactly how to bring you back to him.

You’re gonna get evicted from your apartment because of a ridiculous detail that no one - not even the landlord - had noticed before. Which was horrible but not more terrible than no apartment in the city being available to your budget. None of your friends is able to help you, leaving you no option but to ask Namjoon for help, which he’d gracefully give. He’d provide you with one of his multiple real-estate apartments. The best part is that it was rent free in exchange of prolonging your contract with him, which after all might not be such a bad idea, right? I mean, what better than a sugar daddy that is there to help you when you really need it. Isn’t that boyfriend material? Namjoon is gonna try his very best to make you think that.

“Don’t worry, okay? I’ll help you out. You can always count on me, no matter what. I’m always here for you, love.”

a/n: modern/uni au :)

thoma can’t focus.

no matter how hard he tries, none of the information in his government class is registering in his head. it felt as if it was going in one ear and out the other. he’s trying, he truly is. after all, he needs the good grade in the class. he’s doing everything he does in his usual learning pattern. he’s taking notes, he’s listening intently to the lecture, he even sat close to the front so he’d be less likely to get sidetracked. everything he’s doing spells out perfect student, well everything except answering questions in class.

that’s where you seemed to beat him to the punch, where you beat everyone actually. no matter what the topic of the day was, no matter what the lecture was about you continued to answer the questions other people in the class were scared to answer. maybe that’s where thoma was screwing up. sure, he was listening to the lecture, but he seemed to pay more attention when he heard you answer. sure, he’s taking notes, but they were mostly scribbles about your answers (without even giving them any kind of relevance or context). and sure, he’s sitting in the front of the class, but that also means he’s sitting next to you, the person’s who’s voice and kind smile he can’t seem to get of.

no matter what way thoma looked at it, every issue with his concentration seemed to tie back to you.

he needs some kind of solution, and he needs one fast. it’s a fact he realizes a bit sooner rather than later when he gets his first test score back, a big red C+ on the top left of the page.

if he doesn’t learn how to focus in this class, his gpa is absolutely done for.

his head hits his desk on seeing the test score. he thought it was easy, he really did. thoma was flying through the questions, able to answer all of them effortlessly.

it just seemed as if all those answers he was so confident about were wrong.

thoma hears a laugh, “are you okay?”

no, he’s not, he figures you’d be smart enough to figure that out yourself.

but he still turns to you anyway, heart skipping a beat as you laugh and give him a small wave, one that he returns despite his rather contrasting atttitude.

“i’m fine,” he mumbles, as he sits up, not missing the A at the top of your paper. “i just thought i’d get a better score that’s all.”

“cheer up,” you tell him with a smile. “the first test is always the one people do terrible on.”

and your words feel a bit half hearted considering the 97% at the top of your page.

“people don’t understand the test formats or how the questions are worded,” you explain. “there’s always some confusion with the first exam. so don’t worry! you’ll do better next time.”

and thoma’s wondering if those words rang true to you. after all, it’s only a matter of time until you’re sitting next to him with a 97% on your test while he’s still stuck at a 77%.

but he still grins anyway, “thanks, i appreciate that,” before sighing. “man, i just can’t understand the topics,” he tells you.

“what don’t you understand?” you question.

he laughs, a clipped laugh, but a laugh nonetheless, “everything,” he answers. “i just can’t seem to understand the concepts.”

yeah, thoma thinks, it’s because of you, the person who’s trying to console him, but even then he still doesn’t have it in him to be frustrated with you.

after all, that smile of yours is very pretty.

you think to yourself for a moment, “well, what if i helped you?”

and mentally, thoma refuses. he can’t pay attention around you, he can’t focus around you. what more if you were tutoring him by yourself, one on one, alone.

he just doesn’t see how it could be in his best interests.

so he shakes his head, “it’s fine,” he shrugs. “you’re probably busy with other stuff anyway, i wouldn’t wanna bother you.”

“it’s not a bother,” you answer instantly, voice a bit louder than you intended. “if anything, teaching you can help me get more familiar with the concepts.”

thoma’s certain you don’t need that, especially with the way you answer every question in his class.

“but don’t you have activities and stuff after school?”

“i’m free on tuesdays?”

oh, what a coincidence, he is too.

and thoma thinks for a moment. on one hand, you’re the reason why he can’t focus, why he can’t seem to concentrate in class. but on the other hand, the thought of spending more time with you makes his heart race, and he’s still not too sure why. plus, you’re offering to tutor him for free, something that a broke college kid like him could defintely benefit from.

so he sighs, a hint of pink staining his cheeks when he finally caves, “sounds good to me then.”

you smile, “alright then, i can meet you in the library in the B building around 2 ish?”

“sounds perfect,” he tells you, heartbeat racing.

you nod, “then i’ll see you then thoma.”

and, despite your usually incresdible intelligence, you miss the now prominent blush on thoma’s cheeks as you begin to pack up your things.

“i’ll see you then,” he says before you walk out. and as you walk out the door, his head ends up back on his desk. you’re the root of his problems. the sole reason why he can’t concentrate. yet here he is, mentally celebrating at the fact that you offered to help him.

there’s a grin on his face, one that grows when he thinks about seeing you on tuesday.

and thoma realizes that maybe you weren’t the root of his problems, but the solutions he’s been looking for.

thanks for reading! reblogs/interactions are always appreciated <3

Jamie waiting for permission from the entire team to be a prick. Jamie sitting there literally vibrating wanting to say something but restraining himself because he doesn't want to upset his team. The team being like "you can be a prick now cos you are our prick" and then he bursts out to show how smart and how tactical he is and how much he has learned and them all looking at him and Ted's proud dad look and Dani instantly bigging him up. God these idiots, i love them so much

Aaaah, this was such a tricky position for Jamie! He knows what’s going wrong, he knows what needs to be done about it, but no one else seems to be getting it – his team mates are berating him for not staying up front and not scoring any goals (which he takes with impressive grace) and when Ted finally starts talking it’s to launch into a story about facial hair, not to offer any real solution to the problem. Beard isn’t any help; Roy is fucking punning. No wonder Jamie is, as you say, vibrating with impatiance and the need to speak up, torn between the desire to sort this out as it seems only he knows how to do at this point and the desire not be seen as a prick.

And I think he knows that he’s not actually being a prick here, not really: what he says is perfectly true and he’s not offering it from a place of wanting to put others down or make himself grander, but from a place of giving the team the best shot they have, giving them all a chance to make it work. But he also knows that any claim that the rest of them are messing things up while he knows what he’s doing will read as him being a prick, given his history.

This, rightly, worries him. Quite apart from genuinely wanting to be a better person and not hurt others, I think that Jamie is concerned about the team turning on him if they perceive him as returning to his old ways: he remembers how much it sucked when he first came back and none of them wanted him there and he’s also come to really appreciate the camraderie and the strong relationships they’ve developed as a group. In so many ways, this is his family – of course he doesn’t want to risk that.

But risk it he does, once the team has given him the all clear. They are kind of taking a chance on one another here, aren’t they, the team and Jamie? Choosing to trust. I don’t think it’s a hard choice for them, considering how far they’ve all come, but even so. It is a choice made, a risk taken. 

And the risk just pays off so beautifully, for Jamie and the rest of the boys! Once he asks, they’re all immediately ready to just let him rip, and even if they’re initially put off by what he says (causing him to quickly backtrack a little) they keep listening and they gather round to watch him lay it all out – gah, that look on Jamie’s face when he turns and realizes that he hasn’t lost them, they’re still with him and hanging onto his every word – and they unreservedly accepts that he is right, this is the way to go, and Ted is proud and Roy is proud and Dani steps right up to make sure everyone gets what a big deal is, what a fucking phenomenal and unselfish play from Jamie this is.

I’m just so fucking happy for all of them! Or, as a wise nonny once said, God these idiots, i love them so much

Please a drabble of jealous jk (but not jelly of jimin) sometime in their past or something

Jungkook should've payed more attention to the obvious signs.

Perhaps then he wouldn't stand wide-eyed at the doorstep of your bedroom, interrupting the rather fervid make-out session between Taehyung and you.

Your eyes are equally as big as Jungkook's. You're sitting on Taehyung's lap who's leaning against the pillows on your bed. Taehyung - the smug asshole he is - seems to be the only one who isn't fazed by the disruption - his hand on your ass not moving an inch evidence enough.

"Jungkook," you choke out.

"We wanted to study," Jungkook says though his gaze remains fixed on Taehyung.

Your parents won't be home until late today, so it was the perfect opportunity to study for the upcoming maths exam at your place.

"It's 3pm already?" Your plush and swollen lips steal Jungkook's attention and he wonders how long you've been kissing Mr. Cocky.

"I called you, but you never answered."

You look around your room. "I don't know where I put my phone."

"It's okay." Jungkook's jaw tenses as he watches Taehyung's hands move up to your hips. But he doesn't just let his hands rest there, no, he slips them under your sweatshirt and squeezes your bare flesh.

The exhale through Jungkook's nose is loud, but what the fuck? How could he not be annoyed when fucking Kim Taehyung acted like Jungkook was not in the room with them?

"You still wanna study or do you want me to..." Go is the word that Jungkook is leaving out.

"Oh no, we can still study!" you answer, getting off Taehyung's lap. Thank God. You turn around on your feet. "Wanna study with us for the maths exam, Tae?" Wha- no. What the hell?

Taehyung sits up. "Yeah, sure. Why not."

Jungkook feels like he's gonna pass out.

~

Jungkook should've left as soon as you proposed Taehyung to join your study session.

In the category of things not to do "hanging out with a newly dating couple" is at least catalogued in the top three. And he was the biggest fool for ignoring it.

Jungkook will lose all his brain cells if you and Taehyung keep flirting and giggling and being affectionate with each other - or he's gonna vomit, he isn't sure yet.

You're all gathered next to each other around the huge coffe table in the living room, a drama is currently playing as background noise.

"I don't get number 4," you utter in a pout.

Jungkook parts his lips, ready to explain it to you, but Taehyung beats him to it.

Taehyung starts explaining and Jungkook's listens carefully. Jungkook doesn't want to be one of those annoyed smart-asses, but sometimes when he's had a look at Taehyung's sheet he saw hin doing little mistakes and pointed them out to Taehyung.

Taehyung isn't dumb, but the way you and him keep touching each other is probably distracting his. Just like now, while explaining, his palm brushes across your thigh. You lean to your side, cheek softly pressed against his arm and eyes glued to the book on the table.

Jungkook pokes the inside of his cheek with his tongue. He can't endure this for much longer.

"That's not correct," Jungkook says after Taehyung's finishes his explanation.

What follows is a 5 minute debacle over the correct solution of number 4. Taehyung is sure that he's got it right and Jungkook knows that his way is the correct one.

The two would've continued to argue if you hadn't chimed in, "I'll just ask our teacher tomorrow. It's fine."

Jungkook huff. "Whatever."

"I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick," Taehyung says, leaving the living room.

Jungkook gets right back at work, types something into the calculator and quickly writes numbers on his sheet of paper.

"What is up with you?" you ask. Jungkook can feel your piercing stare on you.

He shrugs nonchalantly. "Nothing."

"You've been acting weird, Koo."

"It's just-" Jungkook's looks at you for a second. "I'm hearing more kissing noises than typing on the calculator."

"Oh, uh - well..." you hide a smile. "I just...really like him," you confess.

"Don't have to rub it in my face how lonely I am."

You laugh sheepishly. "I'm sorry."

"Next time just you and me again, okay?"

"I promise."

"I actually need to leave now," Jungkook announces. He heard the bathroom door open and realised that under no circumstances could he bear to see you act all lovey dovey with Taehyung like that any more.

It annoys him, yes, but at the same time it feels like rubbing salt in the wound every time you giggle after Taehyung whispers something in your ear. There's this strange feeling clawing at his heart and he needs to get rid of it.

You frown. "It hasn't even been 2 hours."

"I gotta go to practice." Jungkook stands up and starts packing his stuff. "They changed the schedule for this week a little," he explains because you know exactly on which days he has practice or not.

"Oh."

And just because he can, he bends down, tilts your chin up for him and pecks your cheek just as Taehyung enters the living room again.

It's silly, but seeing Taehyung's reaction makes it easier for Jungkook to walk out of your house with a lightened heart.

[ellewritesandrants]

So I might flesh this out later but I just needed to get it down

Imagine Post S2 where Hopper drops off a still mildly drugged Billy, all angry but when he sees how Neil reacts, he’s immediately suspicious. He decides to follow his instinct and fake leaving via his car. He parks down the street once he know’s he’s a good distance and goes back on foot only to catch Neil beating his son. He arrests Neil and threatens him to ask about Lonnie Byers. When Hopper lets him go the next day, he makes sure to threaten him in front of Susan, Billy and Max when he dropped him off at his house. Neil’s a coward who can’t afford to move either way so he moves to verbal abuse instead. Max tells Hopper who grits his teeth and tells her he’ll find a solution.

Fast forwards two weeks and Hopper comes home to find El and Billy surprisingly bonding after Billy was sent by Susan to give him some cookies. El had never made them and Billy knew how to so he offers to teach her how to make them. They went to get ingredients at Melvald’s with El hiding in the back seat of the car once they got into the town proper. Billy also made her dinner since it seemed Hopper was taking too long. El says he helped free Billy from a bad Papa too. Hopper has a light bulb moment and he asks Billy to babysit and tutor El. He’d heard he was smart from Nancy and he needed someone to help El catch up and he couldn’t always be there to help. Billy could take Max too if he needed to and Hopper would pay him for babysitting and it would keep him out the house. Billy doesn’t immediately take the deal but upon consultation with Max, he takes the deal. Billy usually has both girls after school so El gets to come with the boys to the arcade as long as Billy’s there and she was caught up with her school work. Billy becomes whipped for the two girls who beg him to style their hair and paint their nails. They both got ready together for the Snow Ball, helped by Billy.

Billy apologizes to Lucas and Steve when they first meet at the arcade after everything and while the boys are still wary about Billy, the girls have no problem dragging him into shennanigans like fake home ec classes so they can get Billy to cook and bake for them and pop culture classes from Max so she can blend in. The entire time, Billy semi-relunctantly goes along with everything. They even have field trips to the mall and everything. At some point, the boys wonder what’s so good about Billy when they have Steve and the girls defend him. They have a switcheroo and the boys are surprised to have their homework checked over before being allowed to play D&D and the snacks that Billy prepares for them. They find out that Billy’s a secret nerd who love fantasy and sci-fi and they end up scrapping the plan to play D&D and instead debate the night away about books, movies and series. The boys relunctantly agree that Billy’s cool especially after he agrees to give D&D a try for them which makes Steve feel affronted he starts proposing that the entire Party hang out at his place with Billy and the girls so he can see what everythung’s about. He’s surprised to find out how academic Billy is and how good he is at cooking since Steve relies mainly on microwave and delivery. He sees how Billy interacts with the kids and he finds himself intrigued.

Somehow, the kings of Hawkins High now play babysitters to a group of middle schoolers and everyone is surprised to see the two talking like they’d been friends forever after Christmas Break. They never see them at parties with the boys always claiming they have other plans. Later on when the girls become interested in D&D, Steve and Billy get a chance to talk and it kickstarts a little something between them. Billy is effectively a member of the party by Season 3 and he and Steve are on the cusp of a relationship when the upside down stuff starts happening again. They get Billy in the loop so he realizes when Neil acts a little too nice and he protects Susan and himself from being flayed since Max was with the kids. He uses the walkie-talkie the girls gave him to get Hopper to bring El and they deal with the mindflayer early. With Billy there for brawn, the Russians don’t get a chance to torture Steve and instead, they manage to take care of everything without it causing too much trouble.

S4 would be interesting because with Billy there, there’s absolutely no way that Jason would be the King of the School even if he was dating Chrissy. I headcanon that Billy and Chrissy would be good friends and that Billy would notice Patrick’s injuries and he’d quietly tell Hopper so he could resolve it even before S4 started. I think with Billy there, they might actually be able to have a fighting chance but instead of Max being the sacrifice, it’s obviously going to be Billy who’s been dealing with the complexity of losing his father and his abuser all in one go. Whether or not Steve and Billy are already together is up for debate and if Eddie would be included in that relationship but with Billy there, I think they’d be able to deal with Vecna once and for all.

Also, obligatory reunion hug between Billy and Argyle once they see each other again since they used to be best friends. Whoever Billy’s with gets jealous and he has to kiss the pout of their face which grosses out the kids. They all live moderately happily ever after.
