SHORT PLAYLIST (recommended)

the hazy, vertical streaks from the moonlight passes through the open blinds, caressing over taehyun's face as his sister, hyunjae, straightens out the frills of his collar and adjusts the flimsy ribbon after. he turns his body, puffing in front of the mirror, loosening the tension and nervousness in his wrists, tilting his head left and right.

"aw, my not-so-little brother knows how to clean up well." hyunjae coos, lightly patting the top of his head.

"agh, you're gonna mess up my hair!" he swats her hands away, caving over his hair before fidgeting with the front pieces of his hair, making sure they would stay in place until he meets his date.

"so... are you gonna ask her today?"

the young male adjusts his outer coat, brows scrunching as he looks at his sister through the mirror, "ask who?"

"yn? aren't you going to ask her to dance with you tonight?" she sighs as she pinches the bridge of her nose, thinking how her brother could possibly be lacking in basic knowledge of making the first move—especially with his crush.

if there's one thing taehyun is good at, it's definitely being oblivious towards any female kind and their attempt to flirt with him. he's never dated, he's only confessed to one girl in middle school when he gifted her a heart-shaped box of chocolates. she accepted them, but refused to be his valentine, and since then he's never wanted to embarrass himself like that again.

"of course I'll ask her to dance with me. she's my date anyway, and I should tell her then..." he trails his words, thinking about what he would say once he finds the right moment later on in the evening, "I just hope a good song comes on." as cliché as that may sound.

hyunjae sees how anxious he is as he lets out a deep sigh. both their heads turn towards the open window from the sound of a car's triple beep in front of their house. the loud noise was soon followed by a few male voices shouting out his name, almost chant-like.

"good luck, 'lil man." hyunjae reaches out to pat his hair once again, but misses as he ducks and opens the front door.

"ayeeee, someone looks dashing tonight!" beomgyu screams with the upper half of his body out of the window. the other three males starts cheering and whistling as taehyun approaches the car with long, confident strides.

opening the door behind the driver's seat, he sits comfortably as he looks at the rest of them, "not too shabby yourselves guys." he chuckles, buckling his seatbelt.

"how are we feeling, boys?" yeonjun laughs, excitement clear in his voice. he briefly locks eyes with taehyun through the rear mirror, expecting him to answer the question.

"i just hope she doesn't reject me." taehyun speaks without hesitation. kai and beomgyu looks at him with their brows stitched together.

"are you kidding me? i'm sure she won't reject you, it's yn we're talking about." beomgyu sighs.

"and what's that supposed to mean?"

"that you have to be really dense to think she has no interest in you." soobin butts in, looking back at him from the passenger seat.

"he's book smart, just not girl smart." kai joins in.

"okay, okay. that's enough guys. i'm sure our boy can manage." yeonjun cuts off their bombarding banter towards taehyun.

taehyun rolls his eyes at his friends' continuous teasing, completely ignoring yeonjun. the topic for conversation slowly went round to each person—and about their dates—until they arrived at the venue for the winter ball.

the group of five made their way towards the entrance, keeping their eyes out for their dates. it was convenient that majority of their dates arrived together, as expected when asking people from the same friend-group. taehyun watches his friends greet their dates and entering in with linked arms, their outfits complimenting each other's nicely.

"we're gonna go ahead." soobin firmly pats taehyun's shoulder as he nods in response.

a few minutes passes by and taehyun is still standing by the entrance, yet his posture never fails him. he looks down at the cuffs of his black dress shirt, adjusting them out of restlessness, in the hopes he hasn't been turned down.

"taehyun? sorry i'm late." a soft voice speaks.

from the cuffs of his sleeves, he sees a shiny pair of white, mary jane pumps pointing towards him in his line of vision, less than half a meter away from his own black, dress shoes.

lifting his head slowly, his eyes travel up the figure in front of him; skin-toned stockings visible until the thin layer of white chiffon material just about lingers by the knees. he looks up to admire you in your entirety, a sweetheart neckline accentuating the length of your neck with a dainty pearl necklace sitting prettily at the base of your neck.

"yn," his voice almost breathless, "you look beautiful."

you chuckle at his compliment, looking down at the ground before your fingers subconsciously fiddles with the pearl strap of your purse.

"you don't look too bad either, kang."

he smiles at your implied compliment, holding out his arm for you to take, "shall we?"

as soon as the both of you walk through the tinsel curtain, you're met with snowflake-shaped lights projecting on the ground. your peers' arms are linked with their dates while they meet up in groups and you do the same.

you meet with a few friends, separating yourself from taehyun while he went to see his friends too. long conversations were made, and pictures were taken at the open photo booth that the school had hired for the evening. there were props and multiple photos could be taken so you were willing to try it out.

taehyun is sitting at his designated seat on the same table as his friends, locking eyes with you for a split second from across the room before you start making your way through the sea of students.

as you make a bee-line towards him, your eyes are trained on him, getting closer and closer. his side profile was stunning; his sharp jawline in full display as he slightly leans over the table to talk to yeonjun opposite him, and with every laugh, you saw the occasional appearance of his sharp canines which showcased his dimple.

in your four years of high school, you never found anyone just as handsome as kang taehyun himself. and you granted yourself lucky to have him as your best friend.

you approach his seat, resting a light hand on his shoulder until the boys stopped talking, causing taehyun to look up at you.

"hey, want to take a photo together over at the photo booth with me?" the freckles of light from the disco ball sparkles over your face, looking almost angelic as he gets up on his feet.

"that's our boy!"

"go taehyun!"

you hear beomgyu and kai exclaim along with the others as you take ahold of taehyun's hand in yours. taehyun could only pray that you don't look back at him because only then would you see how enamoured he is by you. the heat from his cheeks quickly spread and made its way to the tips of his ears—he's in too deep.

opening the curtains to the photo booth, he picks up a white feather boa and loosely twirls it around your neck accompanied with a quiet laugh from you. in return, you pick up a black masquerade mask for him to wear, only making his full attire look more complete than it already was.

you continue shuffling, making sure you were in the middle of the photo booth, "come closer." you speak up, gently tugging on his sleeve making him shuffle closer to you until he reluctantly resorted to resting his hand on the small of your back.

"i- is this okay?" taehyun was always wary of his hand placements, you knew that and you were more than comfortable with being this close to him.

"perfect, these photos are gonna look really nice." you're smiling at the photographer, posing your wrist as you splay your palm open and the end of the boa hanging off it. all while taehyun looks at you in awe. you've always been one to try new things, even putting yourself out there and not giving a single care to what people think of you. he found that quality admirable, really.

after a few more pictures were taken, and keeping the same props, it was time for the last photo.

"tyun, look at me." you whisper.

he turns his head to face you, your faces within centimetres apart until your noses brushed against each other. you hold the end of his chin still with your index finger and your thumb, closing your eyes, he mimics you until you feel the softness of his lips against yours, it was almost euphoric.

you just kissed your best friend.

the sound of the photographer snapping the last shot interrupted the momentary trance you were both in, the flash visible through your eyelids.

"we'll get them later, let's go." you pull back and hold his hand again. he was trailing after you while you make your way towards the bowl of fruit punch.

"so how did your photos go?" beomgyu comes into view beside you, passing the both of you already full cups of the punch.

taehyun stays silent, taking a sip from the drink while his other hand is still holding yours.

"it was fun, i think you should try it out. i heard there's more props if you ask the photographer." you take a sip from the drink, keeping eye contact with beomgyu while you watch his eyes flick back and forth between you and your date.

"if you say so," he says, walking away with a small smile tugging at his lips.

a new song fills the room, a song that only released last year. you remember hearing it a few times on your parents' radio and it being one of the most replayed songs since it was released. your peers and their partners gather onto the dance floor, girls with their arms draped over their date's shoulder, and some guys nervously resting their hands on their date's waist.

perfect. taehyun clears his throat before taking away your cup and placing both of them down on the closest table. he lifts a hand up, the other tucked behind his back as he asks, "yn, would you perhaps want to dance with me?"

you observe the way he's slightly bowing in front of you, your heart fluttering in your chest from his chivalrous gesture. "perhaps I do, kang." you say as you accept his hand, leading you onto the empty spot on the dance floor.

the lights dimmed down a little more than before, only the ambient lighting from the decorations and the disco ball reflected onto your faces. taehyun's hands were fumbling with the material around your waist, you could tell he was nervous but you wanted him to be comfortable with you like he always is. the only difference this time is that you're both dressed up and he hardly ever sees you dressed up.

"hey, ease into it. left then right, remember?" you reassure him after he visited your house one time and your older brother teased you about dancing with taehyun. your mother made sure to teach both of you the basics.

you hold onto one of his hands on your waist, letting his palm relax against you then letting go and bringing yourself closer so you could rest and bend your elbows over his shoulder, your temples leaning against each other.

a couple of minutes into the slow dancing made you feel so weightless. the strong scent of his cologne lingering by your nose, his soft and controlled breathing in front of you just felt so comforting. your faces were centimetres apart, no different than before, but both your eyes were briefly shut.

"yn?" taehyun speaks up softly, and you hum back in response. "there's something i've been meaning to tell you."

"mhm? and what is that?" you pull back to look at one of the features you love on his face. it's just one of those instances where you capture how his eyes could quite literally encapsulate the entire galaxy if possible.

"as a best friend, you're amazing, truly." he starts. you huff out an airy chuckle with your fixed attention on him. "but I want to get to know you beyond that. I really like you, yn. more than words could ever explain."

your eyes soften from his confession, knowing this was your best friend since freshman year and without a doubt, you were feeling quite the same.

"can i be your boyfriend?" he asks, head slightly tilting down to read your expression.

you pull him towards you, closing the proximity until your lips were just about grazing against each other. "i would love you to be my boyfriend, kang taehyun." you whisper before closing the gap and giving him a longer kiss than at the photo booth. he securely wraps his arms around your waist, chests colliding until your lips part.

"you really thought after i kissed you back there i'd say no?" you nudge his shoulder, catching his cheeks flush the smallest pink hues you could see.

"i really wasn't sure what that was, but if it's a kiss from you then i don't really mind." he shrugs nonchalantly.

"so i could say no as long as i give you kisses?" you tease him back.

"well... not quite, i want both." he shyly smiles with his dimples caving in his cheeks.

you peck his cheek in response to comment, "you really are cute, kang taehyun."

I don't know if you've paid any attention to this but do you know the official ages of the main characters? You've always paid attention to little details so i feel like you'd be the right person to ask this to.

Hi anon! ❤️ I’m SO SO sorry this took so long!

I appreciate you thinking of me for this - I have in fact paid attention to this 😂 I know about the general age of some characters, and I know within a year of others (depending on when their birthday is they may have aged up already!)

Bobby - 54. He says in the pilot that he’s 50 years old, and so you figure he’s at least 54 by now, if not 55 if his birthday was between January (when the pilot aired) and now!

Athena - mid 50s. In Athena Begins, I feel like it’s safe to assume she’s around 22 or 23, since she’s in law school but not close to finishing (and I really don’t think she took a gap year), and that was 1989, so she was *probably* born around 1966-67. Which would put her around 54-55 right now, which fits with how old Bobby is!

Hen - 41. She says in Future Tense that she joined med school at 40 (if she’s not rounding for dramatics). Since she got into med school last year in the s3 finale, I’d say 41 now. If she did just say 40 bc it was easy, I’d still say she’s between 39-42 now, bc she’d have to be close in age to 40 to round so automatically like that imo. But at this point I’m going with a simple 41.

Chim - Late 30s to early, early 40s. Chim is one of the two I really don’t have a good idea on. Chimney Begins is set in 2005, and he’s at least 21, since we see him drinking beer in that episode. So he was born sometime before 1984, which would make him 36 right now if he was exactly 21 then, but I think he’s a little older than that, since he’s been working in the bar for a while before the fire. I can’t remember any other details that would give him a more specific age, so if someone does and can provide them I would love to add them! Personally I’d say 39-40, bc I think he’s a little older than Maddie but not by much. I can say however that he has a March birthday! EDIT - thanks to the wonderful @shannon-diaz who remembered that we see Chim’s birthday on his license in 2x10 (you can see the pic provided in the notes!) HOWEVER! I want to make a disclaimer (which I would like to emphasize is not me trying to argue against the lovely Ann at all, she’s absolutely right about this, I just wanna say this) - they have already been changing Chim’s birthday since then, since the license says 10/20/1977 and they’ve since moved his birthday to March. So it’s absolutely possible that they’ve decided to change his age as well. BUT! At the point this was shown, they’d already committed to Madney becoming a thing, so it’s likely they thought about how old Maddie and Chim were in relation to one another. What I don’t know is if they thought about Maddie’s age before then, or if they put it off until they had to during the Daniel arc. All of this is to say - right now, as of end of s4, the best info we have says Chim is 44. But I could also absolutely see the writers pulling a switcharoo on the poor props crew and changing his age, since they’ve already discarded the birth date. So I say, go forth and know that Chim is 44! But also please don’t get mad at me if that information changes in the future 😂

Buck - 29. During the entire Buck Begins arc, they say multiple times that the family has been hiding a secret from him for 29 years, etc etc. In the Valentine’s Day ep in s1, Abby says Buck is 26. And in Kids Today (the opener to s3) Maddie specifically mentions he’s 28. So I’m most sure about Buck, out of everyone, esp since Oliver himself is 29. I think he’s the character where they’re sticking closest to the actor’s actual age.

Maddie - around 37. We know Maddie was 9 when Daniel died (Chim says she made the promise to not talk about Daniel when she was 9). Since Daniel died a little over a year after Buck was born, that puts Maddie around 8 at the time Buck was born, making her 37 to Buck’s 29 as of right now. Also, in ep 4 of s4, her mom mentions her being a “high risk pregnancy” since she’s over 35, but specifically does not say she’s over 40. So 37 or 38 for her. (Side note - Maddie is older than Daniel by between 1.5 to 2 years, since she says Daniel died when he was 7.) like I said, I’m most positive about Buck’s age but Maddie’s is a close second.

Eddie - early 30s? I also have no idea about him. My personal best guess would be 33, since that’s how old Ryan Guzman is now, and they’ve never in my recollection said anything to indicate a different age for him! (Same thing here as goes for Chim - if anyone can remember something let me know!) Note - I’ve been thinking on this a while and I actually feel pretty good about 31-33. We know Chris was born in 2011, so he’s turning 10 sometime soon, and that would make Eddie somewhere between 21-23 when he was born, which I feel fits with a timeline of him taking time to work with his dad after high school, and then joining the army, doing basic, and getting deployed all in time to get leave for Christopher’s birth.

And there’s all 7 mains! I’m going to link this in a bullet point in the next character details post, so if anyone wants to add information for Chim or Eddie (preferably with an episode number and/or scene so that I can verify it), I’ll edit this post and give you credit, so that way when I link this post, people will be able to see it all in one place, and the edits w credit will be in the tag for everyone to see!

Also all of these ages are as of right now, end of s4. If you want to write future fic or fic for a past season you’ll want to add or subtract years accordingly!

Thanks for the question, anon - putting together the “age puzzle” is like my favorite kind of challenge!

Dune and H.R. Giger

This post is especially for my friend @peageetibbs​ who fell not only into the Timothy Chalamet rabbit hole but also into the one dug by Frank Herbert´s “Dune” and is also a movie enthusiast (and runs a cinema with friends).

Hope you like my little excursion into Dune history, dear friend.

I came across the books around the mid 1980`s. I read a lot of SciFi as a teen, all the classics and fell in love with the Dune-universe. I saw the first movie by David Lynch, made 1984, (I find this date very fitting btw, with George Orwell and all that) later on TV. It was great back then imo. Looking back today it´s a bit meh because they left out a lot of backstory/world-building from the books. The short TV adaptation later did a better job at this.

Getting to my point (finally). In the1982 German edition of the 4th book there are six coloured pages included. Coloured pictures in printed novels were still scarce, therefore special  and these have been drawn by H.R. Giger, the Swiss artist known best for his design of “The Alien” in the famous movie by the same name.

Around 1975,  Alexander Jodorowsky tried to make a several hours long movie adaptation of Dune. He invited H.R. Giger to deliver artwork for the movie in his typical dark and morbid style. In the end, Jodorowsky failed. It took until 1984 when the movie was made and directed by David Lynch (who to this day claims it as the “one great failure” of his career) and without the participation of Giger.

These are the German editions of the early 1980´s and yes, the first book is missing as I found out while writing this post. Must have lent it to someone and never got it back. (Damn) Also, photos of two of the artworks.

The story of Giger´s involvement with Dune can be read in the 1991 biography "ARh+”, see below. H.R. Giger died 2014.

221 Plants for Sherlock Challenge

my entry for @sherlockchallenge​ October prompt “Plant”

also posted on AO3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/34365841

221 Plants

“I´m back with the shopping,” John shouted when he reached the landing to 221b.

“That´s quite obvious going by the insufferable noise you made while stomping upwards.” John might as well have expected Sherlock´s voice sounding utterly bored.

“Well, since you´ve not deigned to help me with the heavy bags you´ll have to endure the noise.”

“Couldn´t help. I´m busy.”

“As if you´d ever. Sloth.”

“Elephant.”

John hauled his booty into the flat, the ancient brainstem-transmitted feeling of having killed the mammoth and thus ensured the survival of the Neanderthal clan made him high on endorphins. Even more, this time he´d also successfully navigated the enchanted forest of supermarket aisles in record time and subdued the terrible sabretooth tiger in form of the credit card-eating chip-and-pin machine which added an additional adrenaline boost and a feeling of omnipotence.

On his way into the kitchen John wondered again what the jungle-like array of potted plants cluttering the coffee table was for. He´d refrained from asking this morning when he´d gone to work. Often, it was better for John´s mental health not to know the reason behind each of Sherlock´s wacky doings. Although knowing now might probably benefit his physical health since the jungle had spread considerately and was already obstructing the whole area around the sofa as well.

John entered the kitchen, in his mind already putting away the milk and desperately hoping there´d be no head in the  fridge again, so he was slow to register Sherlock sitting at the kitchen table with a syringe sticking in his arm.

“What the fuck are you doing?” John ogled the needle suspiciously.

Green-ish eyes blinked surprised. “Drawing blood,” Sherlock fiddled one-handed with the tourniquet, “obviously.”

“Why?”

“Experiment.”

“I could have helped with that if you´d waited.”

“Too late now, I´ve already taken mine.”

“I did not offer my blood but to help you drawing yours.”

“Still too late.”

John started packing away the groceries. “So?”

“So what?”

“What are you drawing it for?”

“Digestion of human blood.”

John was used to Sherlock´s weird ways but this was strange even for him. “Did you turn into a vampire now?”

“Nonsense, it´s for a case.”

“Which?”

Sherlock threw John an exasperated look. “Lestrade has an exsanguinated corpse and no one knows where all the blood has vanished to. I will prove that it´s been fed to the victim´s collection of carnivorous plants.”

“Ah. So you needed to install a jungle in the sitting-room?”

“Excellent deduction, John.”

“By buying dozens of Venus flytraps?”

“221 exactly. Do keep up.”

John scoffed, “I´m not the most observant person but I know exactly you´re totally making this up.”

Taken by surprise, Sherlock´s mouth went slack, trying to think of a witty reply but none came up.

Something clicked in John´s brain. “It´s to do with the movie I made you watch last weekend, right?”

Sherlock squirmed under John´s inquiring look. “Maybe?”

“You hated it.”

“I hate all the movies you make me watch. Especially the musicals.”

“Why watch them at all?”

“Because you liked it,” Sherlock mused, “I mean, her.”

“Her who?”

“Audrey.”

John´s whole brain was clicking suddenly. “Oh! You noticed I liked the alien blood-drinking plant in “Little Shop of Horrors” named Audrey II.”

“I may not follow the plot but I do register when you´re happy.”

“That´s actually sweet of you.”

Sherlock blushed, “You´ve been very pleased when she ate the obnoxious dentist.”

“Everyone likes their dentist to get eaten.”

“So, I wanted to make you happy.”

“How would feeding your blood to the bloody,” John chuckled at the involuntary pun, “Venus flytrap forest in the sitting-room make me happy?”

“By trying to grow a plant able of digesting human blood like Audrey,” Sherlock smiled shyly, “as a gift for your birthday next week.”

John was about to praise this unexpected bout of altruistic thoughtfulness when he noticed the mischievous glint lighting up in Sherlock´s eyes.

“I´m flattered but I see you have an ulterior motive.”

“Erm.” Sherlock hesitated. John was getting dangerously observant.

“Out with it!”

“If it works I´d also gift one to Mycroft, telling him this breed smells of cake. Would teach him a lesson if Audrey III bit him in the fat nose.”

Delighted, John laughed. “Brilliant, go on then!”

Due Date: November 9th

Word min: 500 words

Style: It can be a drabble, one shot or beginning of a series. Do not put in in the middle of an ongoing series since I plan on reading them and don’t want to read 10 parts of something to understand the entry.

Fandom: Just Supernatural this time. List of pairings allowed is under the cut. If you are looking for a Marvel Halloween challenge keep an eye on my sideblog @until-theend-oftheline in the new couple of days. Something will appear over there too - not the same thing though. Different.

Will you read and reblog my fic?

You betcha :D I am behind on reading for previous challenges so patience is a virtue here

Do my fic have to be Halloween themed?

Not necessarily but Bonus points if it is.

When Do I Post?

Between right now and Nov 9th. Sign Ups start now and ends when there are no more prompts

Genre: It has to have some element of angst to it since it is a Halloween challenge but it doesn’t have to be full blown everyone dies angst. It can have a fluffy end. It can have fluffy middle. It can even have smut if you are over 18.

AUs and crack are welcome too as long as you work in something angsty.

Limits on what you can write: No Mommy/daddy kinks, no non/dub con, no A/B/O, no glorification on cheating, no wife or actor hate in rpfs! - if you got any questions at any time feel free to send me an ask. - If AUs no mermaids or mobsters please.

Format: State in your A/N that it is for my (thing-you-do-with-that-thing) Kari’s Supernatural Halloween challenge. And use the # Kari’s Supernatural Halloween challenge in the first 5 tags.

Pairing and word count also have to be easy to spot in your header!

Submit: After you posted on tumblr you have to add yourself and your fic to this doc.  If you don’t do this you will not be added to the masterlist I create when the challenge is over. If you got questions - just ask :D

Doc link it case tumblr is an ass: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Jop0Do95LVPp5z7IIshrax5_IkKBPjvwBmgcTHAXYw/edit?usp=sharing

YOU CAN NOW HAVE AS MANY PROMPTS AS YOU WANT (NO MORE THAN 3 UNCOMPLETED ONES AT A TIME TO ENSURE YOU DON’T OVER DO IT FOR YOURSELVES. AND YOU CAN HAVE REPEAT PAIRINGS AS LONG AS THEY ARE ON THE LIST OR CLEARED BY ME!
