𐙚 based on this prompt

pairing: Rio (Good Girls) X Reader

word-count: 4.4K

Swallowing a distasteful groan you force a compliant smile to carry on the ruse everyone else is so committed to participating in. Your grandmother's hand squeezes yours and you send the gesture right back against her bony fingers. A muffled scoff escapes the mischievous senior's mouth only for her to correct the gesture by pretending she's both sick and elderly.

“Mom, are you okay?” your father asks completely oblivious to what is transpiring under his nose.

“Fine sweetie” she smiles at her son before turning to you. “Nana knows best” she says letting you go. You send her a look that promises to get back and leave the family room for the kitchen. You want nothing to do with the man in front of you.

“Try these” Sammy your chef smiles handing you sparkling pastries.

“I’ve lost my appetite” you mutter

“Oh” she gapes, wiping her hands onto her apron. “You must be coming down with something” she says fluttering around the kitchen to get a finger of ginger and start peeling.

You sigh. “I’m fine Sammy”

“You not wanting something sweet is anything but” she says with a hand on her hip. Her gaze is accusatory and you sigh not wanting the audience of her hired help for this occasion. Sensing your hesitation, Sammy walks you through the chef's quarters and to one of the house's side entrances.

“Rio’s here” you mutter. The recognition in her eyes is evidence of the history that you and Rio share.

“Well, you look great” Sammy says, looking you over with more critical eyes.

“I know I do” you snap, offended by the tone in her voice. The coddling, the sentimentality. That you were ever so weak in the knees for a man with so little regard for me and you feelings.

“I’m surprised he came,” she says.

“I’m not. Daddy has him under his thumb and there’s nothing he won’t do for a chance to prove his worth to the boss.” you swallow resentfully. Your fingers twitching for a release, stepping back Sammy finds the padlocked mailbox, unlocking it with a string of keys and passes you a joint.

“Thanks” you mutter taking a long drag.

Rio had been your first crush, the age gap between you was significant enough in those days of childhood that the distance existed. You looked up to him. Every time you went back to the neighbourhood your father hailed from when he was there. Your father admired him too and your grandmother knew his. Nana knew early why you wanted to tag along to her book clubs and bible studies at Rio’s place but she never said anything to your parents. Rio had always handled you with care and the two old biddies watched wishing one day their friendship would be turned into a familial bond by their two grandchildren.

It happened at your highschool graduation party. You were on your way to make your entrance when the sound of sloppy kisses caught your attention. Living for a little gossip you slipped out of your slingback heels to tiptoe quietly across the marble floors. Just as a kiss broke between Rio and your hoe ass auntie Clementine. It was the next scene that made you sick enough to spew all over your newly acquired white dress. Clem sunk down to her knees taking his heavy manhood into her hands and kissing the tip of him while looking up at him.

Running down the halls with your shoes in hand your brunch came up violently. Clem was privy to your crush on Rio and of all the days she had chosen one significant to you to twist the knife of betrayal. Hot tears streamed as your heart turned to stone. Your crush was the worst kept family secret. How could he? After refusing to join the party your mother was forced to make the cancellation announcement. That day changed family dynamics forever. Gone were the days where you were content enough playing princess, everyone’s favourite girl. Nice girls finished last and there was no room for that anymore.

Your father insisted on another graduation party and there your revenge was served cold. Instead of rushing to greet Rio you maintained distance, sending warm smiles and pleasantries to everyone but him. Spite was a new emotion but you had always been a fast learner. His gifts that day, a princess cut diamond tennis bracelet and necklace set were proof he’d been listening to your advice. It was why you stayed away from Princess cut diamonds to this very day. A dry thanks and a cavalier comment about the subpar count of carats was the first time Rio hadn't received a gushing compliment in your presence. He watches as you casually place the gift aside instead of rushing to have him put it on you. He’d expected to place the accents on your wrist and around your neck but the request never came as you continued opening presents without acknowledging him.

The execution of your spiteful revenge plot had been surgical. Daddy had a new head of security and everytime you returned home from school you showed Rio he’d been replaced until you managed to push him out altogether. Holding back invitations from social gatherings your mother was putting on and skipping out on the ones he was invited to. Clem had flown too close to the sun in search of the kind of man your mother acquired in your father and had her wings burned. Her Karma was her own, a sleazeball with a wandering eye. She’d come to your mom crying on more than one occasion - the stress was sucking her beauty out of her.

The memories overwhelm you and you cough having taken too long a drag. Sammy hits your back, plucking the nearly finished joint from your hands. There were a few people you had fessed up to. Sammy and Nana among them. Sammy had your back not liking Clementine's antics but Nana didn't share her point of view. Nana’s advice was simple. It was her view that you should never be ashamed of things happening in the corridors and peripheries. Adults have sex and often that’s all it is. She was also of the opinion that the last thing any smart woman wanted was a man that had never sown wild oats. It was better they get it out of their system before settling down than while in a serious committed relationship. The take felt treasonous but the older you got the more true it felt. Since then Rio had climbed the ranks quite considerably which was no doubt why he was in attendance today. It wasn't a dinner among friends and family for the new year. It was a dinner among equals. It was why your father had spared no expense in the beauty prep and maintenance of his girls. Part of being respectable was the well being of your family. It was why Rio had brought his grandmother. Rio’s reputation was no longer the only one that preceded him. Your profile had grown too.

To the world you were a bitch and a spoiled brat, who’s social calendar was stacked. You were hard to get to know and even harder to keep. Easily bored and sometimes temperamental; still people wanted to make your acquaintance. To those who knew you best, the hard shell you put on was just that- an act. Looking back at Sammy you take a breath of the fresh air. Looking down at your croc leather boots you try to muster the ferocity of the large reptile as you head back in.

“Thanks for the smoke” you smile and Sammy nods.

“Anytime babygirl, you tell me what plate I need to sprinkle a little something into if anyone plays with you alright?” Sammy jokes.

“Always be nice to the chef” you wink, heading back inside and through the kitchen and back to mix and mingle. You greet everyone you know with the same pleasant but detached air. You take none of their pleasantries or compliments to heart. You allow hands from some of your father’s younger and more legitimate associates to linger as a test of their intentions and integrity. You smile at their jokes and play your role well. You feel Rio’s eyes on you as you move through the crowd. It’s been at least five years since you’ve seen him in the flesh. You can't allow your eyes to linger - even now. One of two things happen; one you get a vision of Clem taking his manhood or a vision of the good times. The oscillation between both states is unpleasant.

“Y/n” his voice says, cutting through the crowd with the same ability to give you goosebumps. You turn to face him, taking in his dark features with the same detached smile he knows is a construct after eighteen years of impossibly genuine ones. His features tighten with contempt.

“Christopher” you smile going in for a hug. When you pull away enveloped in a mix of his cologne and yours his expression reeks of disapproval.

“Rio” he corrects using the nickname you used in childhood. The one he was endearingly called by all who knew him.

“You haven't grown out of that yet?” you are unable to be nice. His glare is pointed. “So serious now” you comment looking into your champagne flute amused with his current state towards you.

“I’m surprised you remember me at all, I haven't heard from you in years” he comments.

“Why would you, we don't have any business” you shrug turning to him. Your expression is earnestly puzzled. His jaw clenches and then clicks.

“Y/N” a voice calls and you turn in the direction of the voice to find your sister in law. A hand catches your waist before you can walk off and Rio’s strict and scolding expression gives you a punishing glare. Have you lost your mind? Is the question in his expression. He’d never been one from disrespect.

“What?” you ask looking up at him.

He swallows, smoothing out his expression to maintain appearances as his hands drop, taking yours. He walks with long strides that force you to move your feet quickly to keep pace. You raise a finger to your sister-in-law signalling you need a moment as Rio takes you into the study.

“Why are you being a bitch to me?” he snaps once the door is closed. You go to respond but his hand comes up holding his index finger in a silent warning. “Don’t bullshit me” he says after more silence. Eighteen year old you would be so proud to have Rio in a room with you behind closed doors with his undivided attention. You find yourself smirking at the thought before your eyes find his softening.

“Why are you pretending like you care how I carry myself or what I do?” you ask. He steps back insulted by the question.

“Are you fucking serious right now? You forget how you grew up? How many times you'd call me a week, a day? Rio, can you pick me up candy, Rio, can you take me to see my friends?” he says.

“Worked out well, didn't it?Look at the rooms you're in now, you are well off - take care of granny and you're someone.” you say casually and he acts like it stings.

“You think I showed up for you to get in with your father?” he laughs but he’s far from amused with his manhood and character in question.

“Rio, I’m not so naive that I think anyone who isn't my blood in this house is genuine” you comment with bored exasperation.

“And what have I done after knowing you your entire life to lead you to believe I don’t care?” he asks, affronted. His nerve sparks rage. Your eyes hold him for a moment in quiet contemplation before you take a breath walking back into the study and letting your hands run along the wood face of your fathers desk.

“You stopped coming around once you started doing the accounting” you recount turning to face him.

“I didn't have time to be around all the time” he snaps.

“Well you didn't say anything” you shrug.

“My bad” Rio says closing the distance between the two of you when you hold a hand out signalling he stops, Rio obliges standing in place.

“Did you know I had a crush on you?” you ask and he looks at you like it's a brave question. Like it's the last thing he expected to come out of your mouth.

“Everyone knew,” he says, twisting the knife he’d put there all those years ago.

“And you were fucking my aunt!” You snap unable to recall the anger from your voice. Shock takes his expression first, then understanding before he returns to his default expression. The smug asshole smiles a bit before shaking his head like your feelings are a big joke to him.

“Fuck you Christopher” you snap pushing past him but he pulls you back to him in a rough motion. All the humour in his eyes has evaporated into anger.

“So you’ve been treating me like this in public on purpose?” Rio clarifies testing your bravery.

“You’re not special enough for special treatment” you shrug dismissively and he smiles shaking his head before he chuckles looking over at you again.

“What’s funny?” You ask slightly unnerved by the change in his energy.

“Here I am treating you like a princess when you’re jealous of your aunt who got treated like a whore” he comments. He steps back, locking the door. Your heart races at the gesture. “All the guys out there are sharks, they’re all touching you because your dad’s over and your brother doesn’t have any dog in him. He’s pussy whipped. The only reason your pops isn’t free lunch is because of me. I don’t need him. I have love for him because he’s got a good heart and looked out for me when I was growing up but he’s lost it. Only reason he’s still on his pedestal is because I know how much of a daddy’s girl you are” Rio says something in the pit of your stomach makes it feel true. You’d noticed your father had been losing his edge for some years now. His kids were grown and he had more than enough to maintain.

“I don’t need your protection” pride forces out and you try to get out of the room. But Rio doesn’t move aside, a wicked grin takes set in his expression. One you remember him doling out to enemies and not friends.

“This is what I get for giving you an inch” he says to himself.

You take a step back slightly unnerved “This is my dad’s office” you say to remind him. His intensity forces you to take another step back.

“Christ-Rio” you correct, continuing your retreat.

“You couldn’t handle me at eighteen, not at twenty one and I don’t even have faith in you now” he says, sparking your defiance. Your retreat falters as he takes a step forward.

“I’m not the one begging for answers, your time or company. ” your tone is sharp.

“Cause I’m grown and not afraid to show that I care about your immature ass even when you act like a brat. It’s called "unconditional love” . His tone is as steady as his expression, devoid of sentimentality.

“I love you so much I'm going to go suck one of your family members off” you snap and his eyes light. His disdain for the idea is evident.

“Don’t talk like that” he warns.

“Mhm, that's what I'll do. Then I’ll show up at your next party with some dumb fucking gift and a smile acting like I mean something. You PIG” you snap shoving him back and getting out of the office and back to the party.

Rio takes a moment to catch his breath. Looking down he swallows trying to quell his raging libido before straightening his shirt and stepping out of the study. He didn't know who to be more upset at; himself, you or his granny. He’d only shown up because Granny had said you wanted him there. After years of being ignored he was ready to turn a new page. Both of you sit through dinner without adding a word to the light and jovial conversation. The attention you were getting from men is non-existent now but you don't mind.

“What’s going on between you and my future grandson-in-law?” Nana teases, earning a sharp glare.

“Ha, ha” you comment without humour and she smiles amused.

“Come on Princess, when have you known Rio to put up with what you're putting him through?” she asks.

“Nana, I know you're old but in this generation we don't take shit from shitty men” you explain.

“He’s not shitty. Maria told him you wanted him to come and he came with no questions asked.” Granny says making you frown.

You roll your eyes. “Why are y’all lying?”

“I’m not getting any younger and I want my baby to have babies with my other baby” she says and you scoff.

“Remember when I promised you I'd never put you in a nursing home?” you ask.

“I do” she nods.

“We’ll I’m going to start looking tomorrow” you threaten making you old girl chuckle. When the party dies down after the countdown you go to call a car and wait in the driveway. It's possibly the worst start to the year ever. Rio comes out and gives you an annoyed look.

“I’ll take you home” he mutters, you take him up on his offer to limit your wait. You put your address in his car's GPS and he starts on the drive. His eyes glance to yours every few minutes as you ignore him.

“Pretending not to enjoy my company is hard work isn't it?” he says and you cut on the radio to drown him out. You have too many fond memories riding shotgun with him. He smiles at the gesture, unable to be fully upset at your bratty tendencies; it was partially an attitude of his own creation.

“Does daddy have any enemies?” you ask.

“No, not enemies - just scavengers but nothing to worry about if you have good friends” Rio mutters drawing your gaze. You nod as he takes the exit and starts up the hill to your neighbourhood. Security lets him through the gate once you've scanned your pass and Rio assesses the residential area. The G-wagon pulls into your driveway.

“Thanks for the ride” you say jumping out instead of waiting for him to get the door. He shuts off the car.

“What are you doing?” you ask.

“Making sure you get in” he states.

“You can do that from your car” you tell him but he's stubborn following you in.

“I’m in” you state the obvious.

“Where’s the washroom?” he asks and you sigh pointing to the bathroom.

“Leave when you're done the front door locks automatically” you tell him heading to your bedroom. You check your phone before tidying up your bedroom before taking off your boots then dress. You place the garment on a hanger and your boots in the closet where they belong. You manage to get a babytee over your bra before emerging from your closet still in your thong and nylons. The image of Rio is startling.

“What's wrong?” you frown as his eyes take your body in. It's the way you’ve always wanted him to look at you.

“Are you done making a fool of me?” he rasps low. All libido.

“No” you mutter and his large hand finds the small of your waist pulling you into him. His smile is soft and lazy like he has all the time in the world. The same hand trails down the side of your hips running along the nylon mesh and then to your center. Looking at Rio in his eyes you keep still determined not to break first. He pulls the fabric away from your skin before ripping a gaping hole in the mesh. His eyes don’t leave yours as he sinks down. You don't make the mistake of taking him on his knees as an act of submission. Your body is thrumming for him before he pushes your panties to the side putting his lips to your flesh. Swallowing, your hand goes to his shoulder for support only for him to gently place your leg over it, bettering his access to your center. The sensation makes you ooze for him. Heady sights and moans emerge in no time as he eats you while still partially dressed. His more reserved pace turns feverish as your moans do. First a finger and then two his fingers find a rhythm inside of you aiding to finish what his mouth started. Both guide you to your climax. Before you find your release he stops removing your leg ever so gently and standing with steely resolve. Your lust filled eyes lose the haze of pleasure slowly before he comes into focus. Amusement plays at his lips.

“If you walk-”

Your words are cut short by a kiss. The illicit taste of your arousal mixed with Rio’s passion is overwhelming. So is his skill, it’s like he knows every erogenous zone. Everything is torturously tantric. If you didn't know what he did you’d think his expertise was sex. He scrambles your brain with his dominance. In the bedroom there's no place for insolence. His foreplay is rough and rugged as he kisses and touches you everywhere like he wants to know all your spots to punish you for ever thinking you could leave him, get rid of him or be done with him. He doesn't undress you by pushing your shirt up instead of taking it off as he sucks your breasts.

“Rio” your first please come out hoarse as your legs open instinctively needing the release from him.

“What?” he asks.

“I need you” you whisper nearly making him come before he could even be inside you.

There were a hundred faceless women who’d taken loads meant for your body alone. Who he’d superimposed your face and body on, using in his mind. He’d tried to do the right thing staying away, ignoring your crush not feeding into it. He didn't want to be a fleeting moment he wanted forever. Somehow your lusty moans and shallow breath were even better than he imagined. You tasted better too, felt better, sounded better.

“You're begging already” he rasped but the defiance you felt had long passed when he was french kissing your core.

“Fuck me” you sit up whispering the words against his lips. He kisses you first, slipping his tongue between your lips as he lays you back down as he slides in. Your pleasure filled moan is music to his ears as his manhood finds its home nestled within you. Instinct takes time to kick in as he fights against coming in mere seconds.

“You feel so good baby” he rasps. “You're so perfect” he adds singing your praises.

The pressure is intense, maybe he was right, he is a lot of man to handle but the thrill and arousal makes it comfortable before his thrusts become pure pleasure. Your bodies learn quickly how to please each other. He fucks you into the matress after your first climax treating you like a whore. It feels better than it should. Better than all the fake intense passion you’ve had with lovers who didn't mean half as much as him over the years.

The way he felt, made you feel was overwhelming. Position after position with the purpose of pleasure. His heavy heated gaze, his grip around your hips, wrists and neck. His passion and rawness. The kind of sexual encounter everyone should have at least once in their lives. When he slipped out finally you felt lost as you both lay there drawing in short rugged breaths. Your heart swells in post coital bliss. After relieving yourself you look at your reflection washing up. New year new me think to yourself. Rio enters, interrupting your thoughts and you exit the restroom silently. You climb out of the distressed nylons and go into your drawers for a nightgown. Your thoughts run a million miles a minute. The pendulum swings and you can't quite decide if going to bed with him was the right call or not. Your body is still humming with praise for him while your mind is more conflicted.

“Come to bed” Rio says in a demanding tone like the one he uses in bed. You pause turning to him with folded arms as he waits beneath the covers. “I won't hurt you, I know you can hold a grudge. It’s not in my best interest to piss you off” he comments and you pad back over the bed sitting beside him. Sleep takes the both of you quickly. Hours later the sun beams in and his arm is wrapped protectively around your body.

With a smile you rest your head on his chest as you check your New Years texts. Smiling you see one from your grandmother and laugh beside the man that was the subject of too many new years wishes. Nana really does know best.

Your phone buzzes on the nightstand, you lift your head just enough to glance at the screen—Nana.

Rio wakes sleepily before looking at the phone chuckles. “She’s got timing, don’t she?”

“She’s got more than that,” you mutter, hitting the green button. “What, Nana?”

Her voice is sly, coated in the mischief only years of experience could refine. “Just checking if you got home safe, sweetheart.”

“I did,” you say, your tone exasperated but warm.

“Now!” she says in a hasty tone. You sit up in utter confusion, mouth falling open when Rio’s phone begins to ring. Granny flashes across the screen. You freeze caught dead by your grandmothers. A flurry of laughter sounds from both of your grandmothers on the other line.

“I need great grands by the end of the year” Nana shouts through celebratory laughs and cheer. Your eyes dart to Rio who’s wearing an equally amused expression.

“Should've never got them smartphones” he mutters blushing slightly and you shake your head.

“Oh hush, Nana’s know best” yours says.

“Hang up, so they can get re-started” Rio’s granny says and you hang up looking at your phone in shock. Caught by a bunch of meddling tech-savvy seniors.

“You heard them, let's get re-started, mama” Rio winks.

look this is really probably unnecessary, but I've seen tons of posts about how everyone is mad about the page that's going to post unmasked pics of the st guys and how outrageously disrespectful it is to them and well... I gotta say that it's just not that deep.

it's been pointed out that they've only ever said that 'their identities aren't important to the music or the story'. and that's it in terms of the "extreme lengths" they go to hide their identities.

i'm a regular follower of the reddit page where their identities are openly discussed and there is a decent amount of evidence that one of them or someone from their team lurks there and plays around a little with that community. ie, a few of the recent "the summoning solo shenanigans" were suggested in that thread and then seen on stage the next show. but who knows.

some of the guys are actually still participating in other media to a small extent. one of them still streams with a friend on twitch often. one of them just put out some older official music project on Spotify. one of them gets his new tattoos posted unmasked on his tattoo artist's page.

look, I'm not saying that this person who plans to bring this stuff to Tumblr shouldn't be warned about and of course everyone should have the opportunity to block and avoid it to keep their experience of the band how they prefer. that's no question how it should be.

but like... everyone is saying that this person who's starting the unmasked blog is like, evil and so disrespectful to the band. and I think that's just not right. it's their right to start whatever kind of page they want. it's everyone else's right to avoid it.

like I said, this is not really going anywhere, and it's not personal, I just have seen so many people bashing that person on a personal level and I just gotta tell someone, it's not that deep. thank you for reading

To me it is that deep, from what i’ve heard there was a major panic on Instagram in 2023 bc freaks were using info on there to harass II and his family. Hell he still alters his voice in videos, which you only do if you’re concerned someone is dedicated enough to scrape the internet with audio of your vocal patterns. I’ve seen video footage of Vessel cussing out a guy at a festival for yelling real names in the audience. There is direct evidence that the band members dislike off-stage info being known and shared, and that a portion of Sleep Token’s fanbase cannot be trusted to respect the secrecy that allows the band members to live comfortable lives relatively peacefully and out of the public eye.

In my personal opinion, your examples of how they’re still on other social media, and that you know that info abt them are reinforcement of my dislike for unmasked data aggregates. Unless the tattoo artist’s posts or the twitch stream is tagged #SleepToken there is probably a reasonable expectation that they don’t want band related attention for those things. Even if somebody does recognize them as the band members, it would be a minority population if it weren’t for subreddits and archives directly connecting dots between those things and Sleep Token, which is presumably why you have that info yourself in the first place.

By aggregating and collecting unmasked info, a resource is being provided that essentially says “Hey i know these guys have almost entirely retreated from the internet for their own safety and comfort…but here’s their names and faces and loved ones and colleagues and past projects and every little activity they do in their spare time. All gathered together and directly tagged and marked in relation to the band they’ve purposefully tried to anonymize and distance their real lives from”.

It’s stalker behavior, it’s unhealthy, it could be genuinely dangerous for the members if the wrong person made use of it, and i reserve the right to passionately condemn it.

#my stuff #asks #sleep token #‘it’s not that deep’ is an incoherent excuse for collective behavior that qualifies as cyberstalking and identity doxxing

I did it! I finally made a cosy list of art prompts for October. This is my version of Inktober! And I call it:

COSYTOBER! 😍

For years I didn't make my own because I figured, I'm just a really small artist and basically have no reach, so who is going to join in, you know? And that really hasn't changed much. 😂 However, I really want to do this at least once in my life. And I feel if there was ever a time to do it, this is it. In between hospital visits and struggling with real life stuff, I need some cosy art.

Here are the cosy prompts for October:

Pumpkin

Leaf

Broom

Bunny

Fox

Frog

Soup

Mushroom

Book

Moon

Rainbow

Witch

Cat

Hedgehog

Ladybug

Brew

Ghost

Picnic

Owl

Rain

Forest

Cosy

Hat

Wand

Spooky

Pie

Magic

Bee

Sparkles

Cauldron

Halloween

All human-made art is welcome. Traditional and digital. Whether you like sketching, drawing, or painting, everyone can join in! Maybe you prefer cross stitching, sewing, modelling clay, or paper crafts. As long as it's creative and created by you! Everyone is free to participate.

Please tag me (I'm RosieSoCosy on all the socials) and use hashtag #cosytober2024 so I can find your work!

Don't worry about having to do all of them. I know the pressure prompt lists can give, and I want this to be fun and cosy. If you can't do them all, that's fine. So do whatever works for you. ❤

I will be sharing my own progress on my blog, here, and other socials. I will check out and share my favourite entries. I might stream some of this over on Twitch. If you plan on streaming/recording the prompts, let me know, and I'll try my best to watch!

PROFILES #2

SYNOPSIS…. Gaming is a common hobby for college students nowadays, with Overwatch being the game of choice for both Lee Heeseung and his favorite streamer loved.venus. The boy shows his love for his favorite streamer behind the screen name lee.bambi, though he doesn’t realize it was the campus fashionista that he hated ever so much behind the screen.

MASTERLIST

Heeseung…Senior in business at Hybe University, Lee Heeseung is stressing at the idea of graduation being just a few months away. A part of the university’s overwatch league, hybewatch, at the request of Beomgyu (he begged him to join).

lee.bxmbi… Heeseung’s online tag where he interacts with Venus and posts his song covers. No one knows about this account, and he plans to keep it that way. He wouldn’t want anyone to know his true passions, especially those that would be disappointed in him.

Jeongin… Senior in computer science at Hybe university Heeseung’s best friend since high school. One of the few people who knows about his love for music and singing. Encourages his love for Venus ironically.

Yunjin… Senior in music composition at Hybe university and Heeseung’s other best friend. Was a part of Hybewatch but left to focus on school her senior year. Still plays casually with Heeseung - basically his mother

Beomgyu… Senior in game design at Hybe university and the captain of the university’s OW league, Hybewatch. Always in his own world for better or for worse. Number #1 Heeseung hater.

Jiung… Senior in dance at Hybe university and a member of Hybewatch. Peacekeeper of the group and only sane one(most of the time).

Niki… Freshman in dance at Hybe University and the newest recruit of Hybewatch. Demands attention from anything and anyone that breathes, but everyone loves him. Looks up to Heeseung so much it might be an issue…

Jungwon… Sophomore in dance at Hybe university and the only overlapping friend. Is a sub for Hybewatch but has found himself more full time on the team since Yunjin stepped down this semester. Participates in some streams with [name], mostly just begs to manage her social media.

I'm curious about the Hetalia fandom in China. Can you share some stories (fandom culture, fanfic/fanart, event, etc) in there? 🫶🏻🌹

In recent years, I have had the opportunity to know some Chinese Hetalians, and I find them very friendly (including you, too 🫣).

Most of my favorite couples are not too... popular in China (🤕), so the chances to meet someone share the same passion is much lower (😭), but everyone I met who sailed the same ship 🚣🏻‍♀️ with me is really nice 💕

Thank you for answering all of my random questions 😭‼️

disclaimer first: I have *been* in the hetalia fandom in China, yes, but strictly speaking I'm not actively involved in events/offline meetings/fandom chats etc. so this may be a biased viewpoint. BUT it's still a viewpoint, and since you asked I figure I should tell you as much of what I know as possible.

So...here we go! 🤓☝️

(This whole thing looks like a whole ass analysis bc that's how my brain have been working for the past few days. I rly want to sound like my inner enthusiastic self but somehow it turned out like this. urgh💦）

From my experiences, I'd say Chinese hetalian fandom is most similar to that of Japan/ Korea (typical east Asian bunch bruh). And on a macro scale, Chinese hetalians share basically the same material with every other hetalian around the world.

Here are some things abt the fandom culture as a whole that I can categorize and tell you:

Censorship issues and avoidance

Due to certain sensitive contents and the...weird Internet regulation laws i guess, main streaming sites such as Bilibili does not have episodes like the April fools' one, the Valentine one, the first episode of the horror movie one, and the whole freaking season 7. ofc the consensus here is that we all have various ways of getting the missing episodes' resources, so yes we know Ludwig proposed using a tomato ring and we know everyone served bc Antonio was being stupidly kinky (kinky-ly stupid?)

This also applies to how Chinese hetalians would refer to the characters. Like elsewhere, we either call them by their human name (e.g. Alfred, Alfred F. Jones) or the nation name (e.g. America).

- In the human name scenario, it can be just "阿尔弗雷德" ("Alfred" in Chinese), or it can be various nicknames branching out from the name "Alfred", like “阿尔弗"("Alfie")/"阿尔" ("Al").

- In the nation name scenario, though, dashes are used to separate characters to avoid unwanted problems. "美国" ("America") will thus be typed as "美/国". As you can see that's pretty troublesome, especially if there's more than two characters in a name. So, alternatively, countries names are also nicknamed using various ways like what it sounds similar to, either in English, Chinese, or the original Japanese. Now that's a whole different language thingy topic to expand on...I'll just leave it here

Fandom events and interactions

That's something pretty popular on Lofter i think, tho I've never participated in one. Basically, a bunch of people will gather up for a week/month/specific anniversary of celebration, in which they contribute art or fanfics to a character/a ship/a group using a special tag.

Oh right Tumblr has those too...just remembered. Okay I guess then that's easy to understand ✌️

Some may have group chats with oomfs that like the same ship/character. These chats can be using communication apps like Wechat or QQ. It's like a oomfs pro max chat box where they joke and rants abt everything.

Others would go to offline events, organized by fans or comic cons officials. Cosplayers and artists would do their thing of serving the fandom with amazing works.

There's also this obsession with buying official goods like badges and cards, putting these goods in neat arrangements and decorations, and photographing them. I'm not sure what that's called but I've seen fans do that with their fav character(s). Pretty sure it's also a thing elsewhere.

Fanfics. fan arts and ships

Let's just say the popular ships will always be popular ships. Tho I'm highlighting the fact that russia/china is a pretty popular ship up there with UsUk/FrUk/Gerita etc. best I can comment is "because history" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Fanfics and fan arts are posted on sites such as Lofter. Bilibili is used more for editing/animation. Lots of good stuff can be found bc istg there Chinese hetalians cook HARD. Also fun fact: those posted on ao3 have a high possibility of being or having smut/r18 stuff bc...see censorship lol

---

riiiiight i think that's about it for this time! you can see I've locked in for this answer bc there's little emoji used lmao

ngl your questions can get my head working and thinking so i like them very very much! You can relax and "tutoyer" yourself w me 😏

a writing challenge? in 2024? you bet

Hi! Hello! Hey!

I've been going through A Time and have chosen to cope by going back to the specific vibes of 2016 to 2018. That happens to include an incredible resurgence in my love for MCU fanfic, the community around it and all the love that goes into them. I've felt a bit distant from here for a while, but I still see so many of my old friends writing, ones who want to get back into it, and a whole lot of new writers I am dying to meet.

I've floated this idea vaguely on my blog and people seem to be interested so I figured it was worth a shot!

So yeah, welcome to Ari's Old School, Nostalgia Jam, Why-The-Hell-Not MCU Fic Writing Challenge 2024!

Prompts, rules and whatnot under the cut:

Requests:

If you could reblog this post to reach someone who might want to participate, I'd really appreciate it! No need to be following me, it's open for anyone.

Reader-inserts, OCs, solo character fics, character x character-- absolutely no limitations

Any and all MCU characters are allowed

Anything above 500 words should have a read-more/keep-reading tab. Series, multi-chapters, one-shots, drabbles, etc etc. The sky's the limit.

Please tag me in your fics (@shurisneakers) so I'm notified of them, and post them with the tag #arisoldschoolwritingchallenge . It may take me a while to get back to you due to the circumstances I find myself in currently, but I absolutely will. Please send me a DM if I haven't responded within 10 days.

Send me an ask with the prompt you would like. Feel free to pick up to 2 prompts

The only thing I request of you: no RPF and no dark fics. Smut is welcome, but non-con/dub-con/incest or anything along those veins is something I'd ask you not to submit for this challenge. Thank you for your understanding!

I know I've called it an MCU fic challenge as it's the community I've grown with, but if you feel like any of these prompts resonates with a character from another fandom, please go ahead and write it. This challenge really is just about the fun of writing fanfic and love for Your Little Guys

No submission cut-off date. Take all the time you need.

2024 reflections

In stream of consciousness

This might as well be a journal entry

There’s some fandom stuff in blue

Necessity is a bitch, but she’s also the biggest teacher. Had I not needed so much, I wouldn’t have become a part-time handy man this year.

In the race to the bottom, companies no longer build things to last or for minimal repair and upkeep. Things are purposely built to break and be repurchased. They are consciously creating waste, and as a fixer, this disgusts me. My house taught me the extent of this nonsense.

I’m really fucking over the drive for profit > common sense. Greed.

I’ve also realized that I can only think of two people within my organizational hierarchy at work (a VP and C-suite exec) who don’t worry about money. My coworkers, my boss — everyone is convinced they need more for the basics. I earn less than half what my boss does. I’d be dying with gratitude if I had what he does. So when does it stop? When do we achieve satisfaction? When do we stop worrying?

It’s been a supremely lonely year. At times by choice but mostly by circumstance. In group settings, I’ve become okay with just being and not feeling obligated to socialize or participate. I still enjoy myself, and it’s liberating. I’ve come to understand that I crave deep connections, and I’m not someone who can achieve that with many. I’m too much for people.

IRL, I was not placed on this earth to be liked. It’s lonely, but coming to terms with this has empowered and liberated me tremendously.

I think this is reflected in what I write. Every concept and feeling is intrinsically mine. I love writing for a recipient, for one specific person, and that’s made being part of fandom the most satisfying. I miss being more active, I miss my friends, and I miss the chokehold my ships had on my life previously. That’s what I miss the most - the obsession that drives inspiration and connection.

Fandom feels less open and accepting than when I joined. It feels like there are groups of friends cheering each other on but not excited to make new friends. I love seeing the joy and enthusiasm those groups have for each other, it just feels lonely on the outskirts. Lonelier still when I don’t feel the spark and passion I used to.

That doesn’t mean I love my ships any less, it just means my horizons have widened and that passion has spread instead of concentrated. That expansion makes me want so much more - I want to learn Chinese. I want to thrift and up-cycle clothes. I want to spoil my cats more. I want want want want

I grieved the woman I would have been if necessity hadn’t turned me into a Type A person. Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s a trauma response.

I put myself last. Towards the end of the year, I started kicking my job lower in my priorities, but I will always jump on something that affects others before I take care of the things I need. This needs to change.

I’ve been giving people out in the world my brightest smile, and it feels really good. I think it takes them by surprise too. It feels like throwing confetti at people.

I feel like I was never allowed to be shy when I was younger, and I’m really leaning into it now. I didn’t realize how much I needed this space to figure out what feels like me.

I’ve developed this rare skill to move and change and influence. I didn’t realize how much power I had until very recently. It’s both validating and terrifying.

I knew going into 2024 that it was going to be a rough one. To be frank, it kicked my ass. My husbands’ too. It’s 2am on the last day of the year. It’s pretty much over.

It’s starting to feel silly, this way of marking time. But having milestones and times to reflect is nice.

On to the next one

If you want to reflect and open up, tag me - I’d love to read yours ❤️

Title: Gaius had to treat several of Arthur's servants in the past, who were injured during sparring sessions 🤕

Episode: "Valiant" questions #2

Questions by @tansyuduri

Tagging: @miyriu

Books used for reference: Valiant hardcover, The Magic Begins and Merlin Annual 2013

Question: There seems to be very few knights here, so likley there's preliminary tournaments being held?

My answer: There’s no preliminary tournament being held. Both the younger knights and the veteran ones participate in several matches a day to earn their way up the scoreboard.

On Arthur’s first day of the tournament, he had fight against Sir Alfred, Sir Pellinor and Sir Kai (in that exact order).

There were enough participants to keep the crowds entertained for nearly a week. So the rest of the first day and the following week were spent with continuous battles to get to the finales.

Book description:

Over the years Camelot's tournament had become increasingly popular, drawing more and more knights to the kingdom to compete. This year there were enough entrants to keep the crowds entertained for nearly a week and each of the arrivals had one goal - to be proclaimed the overall champion.

- Throughout the rest of the day, bout after bout brought thunderous appreciation from the assembled crowd.

Knights from across the realm fought long and hard to reach the next round. Whilst everyone in their crowd had their favourites in each contest, two names constantly found favour with the cheering mob: Arthur and Valiant.

- It had been a long day. The first days of a tournament were always busy as the more experienced knights quickly dispatched their less skilled opponents and moved on to the next round.

Gaius had spent the day with a steady stream of patients, tending to cuts and bruises, to black eyes and sprained wrists. One of the younger knights had needed to have a broken finger put in a splint, but much to the knight's embarrassment.

- It was soon clear to Merlin why Arthur I was the reigning tournament champion.

He wasn't just strong, he was skilful too; it was more like watching a dance than a fight. The knight Alfred was quickly dealt with. Pellinor and Kai soon followed.

As Arthur dealt yet another winning blow, Merlin found himself cheering with the crowd. He hurriedly stopped himself - as if he wanted Arthur to win! The prince was quite big-headed enough as it was.

Question: Valiant says he is from the Western Isles?

Does he mean Ireland? I think he means Ireland?

My answer: The books never say specifically what the ‘Western Isles’ is called in modern day.

However, we do know according to the map, the Western Isles is past the Lake of Avalon, the Mountains of Andor and further than Caerleon’s castle.

It seems to be just outside the borders of Caerleon’s kingdom.

Question: When Arthur spars with Merlin in this episode using a sword and shield, he claims, "Most Servants collapse after the first blow.”

So who is he sparing with? Has Arthur been given manservants he didn't like before and would do this to make them quit?

My answer: Arthur commonly sparred with his servants.

In fact, Gaius recalled how he had to tend to several of Arthur’s former servants in the past and knew the damage the ‘practice fights’ could cause.

Gaius recognized that he’d have to stock up on healing balms and ointments, because Morris (Arthur's previous servant), was considerably sturdier than Merlin, and even he had been hurt on more than one occasion.

In the “Valiant” book, Arthur admits to have been unnecessarily hard on Merlin during sparring, and yet being surprised by how well he’d done.

The book also mentioned that Arthur would have sparred with other knights or servants, but everyone was busy preparing for the tournament and so he had only Merlin to spar against.

So that means Arthur typically spars with his knights (as we’ve also seen numerous times on the show) and therefore mostly uses his servant as a sparring partner when other people are busy.

Book description:

He stared across at where Arthur Pendragon twirled his sword in the early morning light. Arthur was determined to get in as much practice as he could before tomorrow. Unfortunately, practice meant that he had to have someone to practise with, and with all the other knights and servants concentrating on their own tournament strategies, that someone was Merlin.

- Arthur watched as Merlin staggered back to his feet and went to retrieve his helmet. Despite himself the prince had to admit that he was surprised at how well Merlin had stood up to the bout. Arthur had been unnecessarily hard on him.

- 'It was horrible!' protested Merlin. 'No, it was worse than horrible. Merlin, do this, Merlin, do that, Merlin, stand there whilst I whack you around the head with a sword.'

Gaius grimaced. He had tended to several of Arthur's servants in the past and knew the damage that these 'practice' bouts could inflict.

The difference was that Arthur's previous servant, Morris, had been considerably sturdier than Merlin, and even he had ended up in the physician's chambers on more than one occasion.

He would have to stock up on his healing balms and ointments.

i~| Question: Photo below 👇

My answer:

The novel specifically mentions that 'the Eastern knights' had the greatest following (after Camelot of course).

Camelot servants also considered it a great honor to be placed in their service during the tournament, because their curved swords and richly decorated tunics/cloaks, made them seem exotic and mysterious.

Given the curved sword the knight in the photo is weilding. It's likely he's a knight that hails from an eastern country.

Book description:

After the knights of Camelot, it was the eastern knights who had the greatest following.

With their curved swords and richly decorated tunics and cloaks, they seemed exotic and mysterious and to be placed in their service was considered a great honour.

friendship bracelets omg 😭 each year they upgrade to a new one, so they have around 16 of them so far

the pair created quite the chaos as a few news articles were released since their friendship raised dating flags

whenever they meet at award shows, minji naturally goes to idle’s table and talk about their plans and other idol perfomances

🪼⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ – popularity ranking : 75% ⌗momo + mizuki — momi — 10 years

the second person mizuki has been friends with for the longest time.

while getting gigs at different companies, mizuki met momo and mina on her way to a japanese restaurant in seoul and chatted with her in 2013

every year they post friendship photos over the year and it really warms up the hearts of many onces & carats

hi ur a tumblr blog that i like a lot who's really good with wording things when it comes to discussing fandom stuff. i'm wondering what ur thoughts are on fandom being really obsesssed with writing characters exactly "right". whether it's in character or writers only writing this character with other characters they like, etc. i've seen people feel self conscious about their writing and even stop because fandom will just go "why are you guys writing them like this/i'm so tired of seeing this trope/so repetitive." Fanfic writing should be fun. it shouldn't feel like the end of the world if they're writing the same things several times over. even if a character isn't 100% accurate, or they don't include that character's other lore or relationships or background or whatever. and i'm saying this as a sbi fan who got so tired of all the typical sbi tropes back in the day! sorry for this long tangent, i'm just wondering what your thoughts on this kind of stuff?

*finally escapes from my homework and life exploding enough to get to this ask*

HELLO. Okay, so.

First of all, I absolutely am tracking with the paralyzing fear that you're writing someone or a trope Wrong, and people are going to get mad at you, they're posting right now, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... maybe I just don't write it. I have put story ideas on the back burner because I'm scared of writing specific people in the idea. I noticed it especially in QSMP, you can come up against the issue of depicting people from languages you don't speak and with disabilities you don't share, and the fear that a) people will be mad at me, b) I will write something Actually Bad And Harmful— that's a vivid fear. If you decide that writing a specific character or specific read on a character is not worth the risk of blowback if you do it wrong, that's fair and I can't fault you.

But on the other hand, if you find joy in a character and you're afraid to depict them, and you step away from them, that's kind of a tiny tragedy. I understand the fear, but if your fandom participation is driven by fear, I would say that's a good sign that you need to step back from the fandom— find a new way to participate or find a new place to belong. I have a lot of anxiety and I have had to take a step back from keeping up with fandom several times, I go "okay I leaned into this a little too hard, time to unfollow some people" cause I can track in myself if my fandom creation is being modivated by fear rather than joy. And there's enough fear in my normal life, I want this to be a place of joy.

Because the thing is, if the way someone's love of a character plays out is that they post impassioned posts about characterization in the character tag, that's also fair. They get to do that. They love the character, and this is a guesture of love. If they are specifically calling out other fics that they think "did it wrong", there's a sliding scale there from "pointing out egregious racism/sexism" to "straight up being an asshole to baby writers" and that could be anywhere on there, but someone dropping an impassioned two thousand word guide to how best to write their favourite character is not hurting me or anyone else, they're also following their joy in fandom. That's not my joy, but it's a valid one.

Cause I think there's something that draws us to the characters (or the plotlines) and it's perfectly fair if someone wants to go "okay here is point by point how to depict the character that we all love", and you're running the risk of being an asshole if you go too far into it but there's also nothing wrong with going "I do not know why everyone writes this character as a humourless fighter, guy could not go more than two seconds without cracking a joke, did we even watch the same streams", as long as you're not being actively rude. Especially with people pointing out ableism, racism, sexism, etc— I can see why they would not want those tropes to continue unchallenged, and I think much of the fandom would not want to be accidentally doing a racism. I see those posts and I go Good To Know and I sock that information away.

But also, on the other hand, like, if the fandom police show up at my door/in my comments, they can come back with a warrant. If I want to take two characters who never met in fandom and have them passionately make out, that is my god-given right, no matter if it's butchering the characterization. Maybe I am the True Knower Of The Character and I know that their real true love is somebody who they never met. Maybe I just think it's funny. That's perfectly fine. This is a space where we do work for free, for fun. This is about having fun, no matter if it's cringe or cliche. If I want to write a trope that has five thousand hits on the archive about those characters already, just try and stop me. I will be writing superhero aus till they have to pry me out of this fandom with a crowbar, I think. Overdone trope? Insert "You've told this story before" "AND YOU"LL HEAR IT AGAIN" gif. My Ao3 is my little yell hole for writing things that please me, and by god am I going to write the same two characters over again in the same series of situations. This is for fun, I'm doing what's fun.

I think you just have to do a check on yourself and go "is this hurting anybody", and if it's not, straight up do what you want forever. Other people can go "I only want to see this character written as a bear" and I can go "I respect that but this fic is not for you" and write them as a nerd, and they're not hurting anyone to say that, but I'm also not hurting anyone to do it my way. I do care about depicting the character as in canon, cause that's the character I fell in love with, but also if I write a story in which I turned up the dials on his anxiety and made him adorably worried about social misteps so I can reassure him that he's fine— I also get to do that. It's not hurting anyone to be silly or cliche or cringe or make the blorbos kiss or have them be friends with different people or ignore all aspects of lore that do not bring you joy or what have you. Our fandom now, do what you want.

I think that there are a lot of different ways to do fandom, and a lot of learning to exist in fandom is letting other people do their own thing over there, and then you follow your bliss over there, and you can be as aware of them or not as you wish, but you don't have to cater to what other people like. In MCYT we do sometimes worry about creators who are only doing things because their fans/twitter want them to, and how that will lead to fear and creative burnout, and the same applies to fandom people. I think it's not a bad thing if you personally are concerned about writing the canon character and you keep going back to canon to check that, but it's also not a bad thing if you are four generations down in fandom characterization just having fun with it. And in both cases I think it's fair if the person who really likes canon doesn't read the fanon one, and the fanon person goes "but where is the [fandom tropes I like]" and doesn't read the canon one. Not everything you write or draw is going to be for everybody, and that's fine. I even have friends who love unhappy endings and I do not, and we're still friends, I just do not click through on their unhappy ending fics.

Mostly I just think you have to check yourself and go "is this actually bad or did I see someone post a rant about how tired they were of it" and if it's like "this is sexist" maybe consider if you agree with that person or not, and if it's "this trope is overdone" then do whatever you want forever.
