classmate au | kim sunoo

❝ no one is allowed to borrow my art materials except for (name) ❞

heeseung | jay | jake | sunghoon | SUNOO | jungwon | ni-ki

kim sunoo

sweet, sunshine, best friend kim sunoo

it was kind of SO obvious he wanted to be friends

like he wants to be close to you soooo bad and maybe it’s bc he saw u playfully bullying riki

it was love at first sight and an instant best friendship the moment you finally met

your seats were assigned so u were sat next to each other

THANK GOD U WERE

you two are basically inseparable now

sunoo strikes me as the type to just walk into the classroom and walk straight towards where you’re seated

at school events, he’d leave his backpack on the seat next to him to reserve you a seat

then he’d go “(name)!” while waving from his seat it’s actually kind of embarrassing

there is never anxiety of being seated next to a stranger bc sunoo has your back

he’d grab an extra mini fan from his bag to give to U bc these school events r always so scorching hot

sunoo does that “leaning against your locker while you get things” thing

he is so unaware of how HANDSOME he looks

oh and btw if you don’t attend class, he probably won’t in solidarity

in the chances that he does attend class, he usually sends you photos of his notes and everything you need to know

he’d be like i’m soooooo bored 2 minutes into the class without you like it hasn’t even STARTED

just prepare for his spam messages

after class, you’d buy street food and just gossip over it

you’d stare at what he bought and he’d roll his eyes before pushing the stick towards you so you can bite off it

YES feeding each other … normal best friend things

anyways moving on

another thing in my vision is that he’s the provider of art materials

the teacher suddenly lets you make a poster????

you know you’re secured bc sunoo is ur bff and will let only YOU borrow his supplies

“sunoo, let me borrow your colored markers”

“ok, which colors do you want” ☺️☺️☺️☺️

flat out will say no to everyone else tho

he’s kind of intimidating honestly despite having the sweetest smile

LIKE he’s friends with everyone but not friends friends

do you guys get what i mean

he is just a completely different person with you bc he trusts u the most and he just becomes CRAZY

like yall let him keep his crazy too much .. thank god you’re there for him to unleash it to

he’s one of the people who plays volleyball with riki and friends

but he’s absolutely horrible please save him

altho … why does he look so handsome playing even tho he can’t receive the ball? 🤨

he’d just laugh and crumble in embarrassment and you’d be the number one person cheering for him

(update after ella’s rb,, full credits to her) u would def put the blame on his teammates

“RIKI DO BETTER” even if it was 100% sunoo’s fault like so real

weird specific love language? buying each other water

he’s playing volleyball? you have a bottle of water for him in case he wants to sit out the game and watch with you

you’re finished with your physical education practical exam? he’s waiting for you with his big ass water jug

BUT LIKEEEE why is there a change in the air suddenly 😩😩😩

why is your best friend so boyfriend material actually

he holds your hand… holds it so firmly

sunoo gives the best hugs too

he makes you laugh and he’s so thoughtful with his stupid water and his art materials

even carries your things for you sometimes

AND yall take good photos of each other

“does my hair look fine?”

he’d reach out to fix it … tuck it behind your ear or look at you so intensely before going back to smiling n saying yup all good!

during the sports festival, yall are off joining some type of singing jingle cheer competition which is usually the first event

so you guys just joke around for the rest of the week, watch some events, and take LOTS of photos

you would laugh at your classmates

maybe even cheer for some of your friends

just as long as you’re next to each other

you probably bad mouth the opposite team BUT TO YOURSELVES .. not out loud

would clap so hard when your team wins a point !!!

also back to the taking photos detail

he’d just be dragging you everywhere to take photos bc when is the best time but NOW

ofc u do take his photos .. u ltrly take the Best

“sunoo, look, you’re so handsome here!”

and then you look up at him to see his reaction and he’s already looking at you

uh oh.

your faces are so close to each other like SO close

let’s step back and check the label 😂

BEST FRIENDS !!!!!

tho he does save u out of ur misery by asking you out a week later

bc apparently the sudden shift in air also happened to HIM

he brings it up as a joke first bc he’s testing the waters and he’s not trynna get rejected

“imagine if we were dating…..” and a long lingering pause in the air afterward

if you joked back with like a “LOL”, he’d know u don’t feel the same

but you ltrly go 😮 and so speechless bc why is he suddenly bringing this up when you’ve spent the last few nights thinking about him

did those tiktok manifestations work

did that tiktok audio actually get sunoo to like u back

“um… well! well, you see…”

“i like you”

“THANK GOD”

you guys are like waaaaay more inseparable now that you’re dating

your friends will fake vomit around u .. but don’t worry it’s just bc they’re bitchless

while u and ur bf sunoo are happily in love

btw he gets jealous easily TEARSSSSSS

he gets all pouty but don’t worry, you just have to Hug him and give him a kiss and he’s all smiles again

oh, and i feel the need to inform you that hugs are his favorite thing in the world

and CHEEK kisses like specifically cheek kisses.. he loves them

his ideal dates r just when you’re at each other’s house

you can order takeout and do your skincare together … watch the latest movies

his family loves you too

so much that they include your favorite snacks when they go grocery shopping

“sunoo, get those chips that (name) rly likes. u dont know when she might come over next!”

like they are ANTICIPATING you

enjoy dating i love sunoo

i adore your writing SO much its so detailed and expressive its amazing like im in awe??? even the old works you reposted i love it so much?!??? if its open still id like to request sagau with ayato and thoma (and any other if you want to add someone!!) and them maybe meeting their god or being praised?

Thoma already is such a sweetheart so i can imagine how he'd melt from even the slightest bit of praise, and ayato is such a prideful man but itd be so interesting to see how he pushes that aside for his god. Absolutely adore all the sagau works youve posted so far, imagining their wholehearted devotion and love in such a way is just 👌 cant wait to read more <33333

word count. 1.1k

୨୧ — ꒰ cw. yandere, unhealthy relationships, possessive & obssessive thoughts/behaviors, religious & cult themes, sagau + cult au, g/n reader. i do not condone yanderes irl.

୨୧ — ꒰ a/n. nonnie r we about to kiss...? u know just how to make me write ur req... regardless, thank you so so much!!! i hope this is okay for you??? this is just u praising them since im working on a bigger work that'll have all my takes on the genshin men as worshipers, I hope u don't mind!!

ayato

Ayato is a prideful man.

Raised from birth to be the clan head after his father, Ayato has always been steadfast. He has to be. He has a duty to his clan, to his sister; to protect her from the darker side of politics, the back-stabbing and infighting; to protect the ones who he cares about the most, the ones who work underneath him and the ones who have put their trust into his command.

He works because he must. He lies and deceives, and with guile he crafts webs of intricate gossamer, lying in wait for an unfortunate individual stupid enough to cross him. Ayato's pride is deliberate, molded by his hands, by the azure glow of the vision at his hip— he is sagacious and determined, mature and mighty.

It is surprising, then, how easily he crumbles when with you.

The echo of your laughter, your refulgent eyes, the steady cadence of your voice and your dulcet tones; every detail of your being enraptures him with the ease of breathing, with all of the ease of sunlight seeping through verdant glades.

Your praise, whether light or ostentatious, leaves Ayato melting in his seat. It's unlike him— unlike the tall, dignified man of cunning and wit, to be so weak and defenseless to only your words; but the tides of his heart pull regardless, drifting to the moonlight of your smile. To feel the weight of your eyes on him leaves him preening, crooning at your slightest attention.

What pride Ayato has is discarded for this brief moment of peace with you, so he can revel in the euphoria your praise alights.

Your eyes crinkle at the sides, twinkling in the dim light of your private chambers. "You did good," you say. You say it so simply he feels silly for getting so worked up, foolish for the way his cheeks burn.

A soft ember of candle wax lights your face only slightly, an orange halo coalescing behind your head. Despite the twilight, Ayato does his best to impress your visage into his mind; the rim of ethereal light cupping your head like a sunset dipping beneath the sea, the flame's reflection dancing on your skin, the light glistening in your eyes like a blanket of stars. He drills it into his head, desperate to never forget.

You stare into the candlelight for a moment, then rise to your feet. You take small, measured steps towards him, then take a spot next to his seated figure.

"I'm sorry to have called you so late at night," you whisper. Ayato keeps his expression calm, showing no emotions on his face, despite the wild rhythm of his heart in his chest. "I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to speak to you privately, otherwise. But I truly am grateful for all you've done."

Without breaking eye contact, you reach forward and cusp his cheek, rubbing your thumb over the birthmark under his lips. His skin burns like electricity runs through the current of his veins, his nerves set aflame by the kindling of your touch.

"You're so good for me. I think you deserve a reward, don't you?"

Ayato swallows thickly, then with trepidation, softly leans into your hands.

thoma

Thoma's heart beats against his ribcage with all the fury of a raging fire.

He squirms where he sits in front of you, furtively rubbing his legs together. Thoma drums his fingers on his knees in an attempt to calm himself, trying to focus on the light sound of the rapping of his knuckles.

The mere thought of being alone with you is enough to send him into a frenzy, but the reality of it makes it difficult to breathe. You had fed him compliments before, simple praise— but still, enough for him to wish the moment would last forever.

Light bores down through the diaphanous curtains of your throne room, reflecting your glistening, specular throne. Carved into the pillars that hold you up are jewels and precious stones, ingrained and polished until they shine like the sun in the sky.

“Thoma.”

You say his name in such a particular way, entirely unique to you. It sticks out in his mind, burning like a pyre. The way your lips cup together to form every syllable, the soft click of your tongue hitting against the roof of your mouth. That you know of his name at all is a kindness; that you speak it aloud, a blessing.

He grips the fabric of his pants a little tighter, digging his nails into his knees. Thoma helplessly resists the urge to kowtow before you, staying seated peacefully by your feet. You asked for him to do no more, and to imagine you ever dissatisfied with him brings him to tears.

You are his God. He wants to kiss your feet, whisper words of worship and love— but you have not asked for that. You asked for him to sit, and so he does. No more, no less, despite the yearning that aches within him.

Thoma nods his head in understanding, untrusting of his own voice. His heart trembles, drinking in your being, draped in fine silks and ornate jewelry. You are effortless in beauty and elegance; next to you, every god only stands to look like a parody of the beauteous glory of your existence.

“You're so beautiful,” you say. You reach forward and cup his cheek, and his breath hitches in his throat. Thoma’s eyes haze over with fog, but a warmth courses through him past the mist. Warmth from you, from the light you provide. Heat like an undercurrent runs through his veins and brings him back to reality. “So pretty. So good for me.”

A faint blush dances on his champagne-tinted skin, softly embracing his face and ears. Thoma looks up and meets your eyes, watching as you smile and wrinkle your eyes in a way that makes his knees weak. He's never been happier to be seated.

“I'm so proud of you.” You twirl his hair in your fingers, playing with his messy locks, ignoring the red blooming on his cheeks. Thoma bites his lip in an attempt to keep himself silent, butterflies hopelessly fluttering in his stomach.

“Please,” he murmurs. It's both a plead for you to continue and for you to stop— his heart is weak enough as it is, even without your praise. Coupled that with even the faintest of your breath against his skin, and Thoma is struggling to keep himself composed.

You laugh, whispering. “It's okay. Let me show you how proud I am of you.”

Hiii Hina, i hope you’re going good!! :3 I saw you like Pokemon and I’m really curious to know if you have any thoughts on itadori & megumi being pkm trainers 👀

I just know they would have matching eeveelutions, like Espeon and Umbreon <:

Have a great day!! 🫂<33

HIIII YES I LOVE POKEMON I LOVE POKEMON SO MUCH trust me the thought of drawing itfs' pokemon teams has crossed my mind Many times but the whole teambuilding part always felt a little daunting,,,there are over 1000 of these guys atp,,,,

tht being said thank u for this ask it came at the perfect time to motivate me to actually brainstorm n sketch teams for them!! the sketches r at the indecipherable stage so here r lists of the teams I came up with fr each of them:

yuuji:

togepi (non-competitive) (maybe it evolves)

growlithe

flygon

annihilape

bewear

staraptor

megumi:

absol

shiny absol

zorua

corviknight

dragapult

serperior

I like the eeveelution angle and the idea of them having matching ones but i personally just,,. don't see yuuji as having espeon :'> if he were to have an eevee imo it's between base eevee, jolteon, or maybe flareon. but giving yuuji one of those options meant i then ran into the problem where megumi matching him would require giving him a vaporeon which didn't sit right with me either bc ur right he's SUCH an umbreon bitch. ended up giving neither of them eevees here but i do support the sun/moon vision

anyway this is what i'm working on fr the next however many days probably smile :)

[yujeong]

I saw ur post about wanting writing prompts so I thought why not lol. (This is my first time doing this 😅) but I have a few of AUs on my art blog that I would love to see expanded on like my Tall Pete/Short Vegas au, A band au with Vegas being a lead singer and Pete falling in love at first sight, or Pete being Vegas’ personal bodyguard instead of Tankhun’s. So yea if u find any of these interesting I’d love to see ur spin on it

OMG hi! Thank you so much for sending me this, I'm so flattered you thought of asking me to write sth surrounding your AUs ❤️ It kind of feels like the secret Santa event all over again, I love it haha. The timing is actually a little too perfect, because a few weeks ago, I randomly stumbled upon a YouTube short about the side couple in Laws of Attraction and I proceeded to 1. lose my shit, so much so that I decided to start watching the show and 2. write a whole page full of notes about an AU in which Pete is Vegas' bodyguard, based on the pool scene of said short. So, to give a little context: In this alternative universe, Vegas and Gun visit the main family compound for a meeting. At some point, Korn wants to talk to Gun alone, so Vegas goes to the pool area to find Porsche, along with Pete who follows him. Vegas proceeds to flirt with Porsche, as Vegas does, up until Gun suddenly appears and starts yelling at him for unclear reasons. He escalates it when Vegas asks, baffled, why he's being yelled at, by slapping him and putting his head into the pool. Pete normally doesn't intervene when Gun gets violent with Vegas, but his protective instincts here kick in and he stops Gun from literally attempting to kill his own son. As a result, Gun's anger gets redirected at Pete, who gets beaten up in Vegas' stead. The snippet I wrote for you is the aftermath of everything I described above. I hope you like it ❤️ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silence, occasionally broken by a faint sound that resembled sniffing. Pete couldn’t tell what it was, but in his state he couldn’t really tell where he was either, so he stopped worrying about it. He tried, instead, to remember what had happened that brought him here, wherever “here” was. The last thing he recalled was the feeling of Khun Gun’s shoes digging into his forearms, which he used in his attempt to protect his head from his boss’ repeated, brutal kicks. Khun Gun wasn’t the strongest man Pete had ever met, but there were reasons he always tried to stay on his good side, and his cruelty was one of them. The cruelty that had so many times been directed at his own son. The kind he was eerily familiar with.

Khun Vegas’ face materialized in Pete’s mind. Droplets of water running down his nose, his sharp cheekbones, reaching his neck. His hair wet and disheveled, his chest heaving from the difficulty to breathe after having had his head shoved into the pool. His expression crumbling with worry, something Pete had no logical way of explaining. Fuck, where was he? Pete could only hope Porsche had protected him from his father’s fury afterwards. Khun Gun was unpredictable; he couldn't be trusted to only be satisfied by lashing out at Pete. Pete needed to go find him as soon as possible. Opening his eyes proved to be a challenge. A heavy fog was clouding his vision, and the pain that was engulfing his whole body was preventing him from doing the simplest of movements. He groaned as he shifted his torso in a futile attempt to get up, resulting in a gasp that startled him into opening his eyes to check where it came from. His mouth was hanging open as he took in the image of Khun Vegas staring at him, fidgeting nervously in the chair he was sitting on. His eyes were red around the corners and he looked ghostly pale. Pete’s breath hitched. “Pete… ?” he said, dropping his gaze to the floor. He always did that when he was feeling guilty about something. “Are you... ?” “I’m fine, Khun Vegas,” Pete replied, despite the numbness in his limbs and the headache that was starting to form. “What about you? Are you hurt? Should I take you to the doct-” “We’re at the infirmary, you idiot,” Vegas shouted, interrupting him, but his voice lacked the usual heat. “Stop acting like my bodyguard right now, it pisses me off.” That’s all I know how to be, Pete wanted to tell him, but remained silent. That’s all I’m allowed. He didn’t really mind Khun Vegas’ words. He’d heard worse things over the years, things that should have probably hurt him. Somehow, Pete had the ability to forgive him anything. The atmosphere grew tense between them. Pete had grown used to that, too, but he had never seen Khun Vegas be so self conscious before. He wondered why the sudden change. “I’m not thanking you,” Pete heard him murmur after a few seconds; he uttered the words under his breath, while staring at his feet. If Pete had a better view of his face, he’d argue Khun Vegas was pouting. Pete could only reassure him. “You don’t have to, Khun Vegas. I was simply doing my job.” It had the opposite effect. The creases between his eyebrows deepened as he lifted his head and stared at Pete. Astonished as his mouth was open agape, likely for a retort that never came. Alternatively, he turned his attention to the small table next to Pete’s bed. He stood up and approached it hastily, grabbing something that was resting on top of it, before Pete could take a closer look. “The nurse said you have to take this,” he said and extended his arm at Pete, revealing a small pill. It was probably a standard type of painkiller. Bodyguards never got any special medical treatment, especially those working for the minor family. It wasn’t worth the trouble. Pete tried to lift his hand to take it, but he bitterly realized it was impossible. He winced as he took a look at both of his arms and found them bandaged, smears of purple popping at places his skin was uncovered. He cursed under his breath. “Ah, I’m sorry, Khun Vegas, I’ll just call the-” Cold fingertips pressed on Pete’s chin. They felt even colder on his lips, the pressure just enough to make him open his mouth. The pill slipped between his teeth easily, with the help of a wet tongue he'd never thought he'd get to taste. Hot air hit Pete’s cheeks. His heart was beating rapidly. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe. Water traveled down his throat, taking the pill with it. Pete blinked. His head felt light, his body even lighter. He didn’t know how to describe the feeling, but he didn’t think it was bad. He focused, instead, on Vegas, who was standing above him with an unusual sense of confidence.  “Get well soon. That’s an order.” It was enough to ground Pete back into reality. He was thankful for it.

“Yes, Khun Vegas.” It was only then that Pete noticed how the color returned on Vegas’ face and how his slight trembling seized. “Has Pete woken up yet?” Both of them jumped at the sound of Porsche’s voice. He poked his head into the room, completely oblivious to what had transpired before he showed up. “Oh, he has. How are you feeling?” “Good,” he replied sincerely. The pain didn’t bother him anymore.  A smile spread on his lips as he added, “Khun Vegas just gave me my medicine.” Porsche returned it, though his was more mischievous than playful. “Pete, you should have seen Vegas while he waited for you to wake up. I’ve never seen him crying so hard-” Vegas punched Porsche hard on the shoulder to stop him from talking, which made loud laughter escape Pete’s mouth. It earned him a glare, one of Vegas' serious ones. It'd bring him hell later, but Pete realized he was fine with that.

hi!! idk if u accept prompts but i love ur monaco malaise and- yeah

mastermind by taylor swift. but make it lestappen

Thank you for the love on Monaco Malaise, it truly mean so much to me! 🥰🤩

*Frantically listens to Mastermind for the first time, downloads lyrics and annotates*

I’ve never had an actual prompt before, 🥹 I’ve been afraid to put the call out, it’s such a lot of pressure and risky 🫣

That being said, I loved writing this! If anyone else has any prompts, please send them my way! I hope you enjoy this little AU, Anon ❤️

~~~

The first time Max saw Charles, he knew.

He wasn’t sure what he knew, but he knew it. Call it luck, lust, or destiny, or perhaps a combination of all three. Whatever it was, he felt it in his bones.

He’d heard whispers Ferrari were considering a new team boss — some hot shot who flew up the ranks at Maranello. However, Max’s two week, no-contact vacation with his mum and sister saw him miss the media storm after Leclerc’s appointment.

The summary of meeting minutes and critical updates that his Executive Assistant compiled upon his return only had him mentioned once, in a two sentence dot point:

Charles Leclerc to replace Frederic Vasseur as Team Principal of Scuderia Ferrari. Effective: 1 January 2028.

It was easily skimmed over in favour of actioning the mass of paperwork requiring his approval.

Maybe if he’d known how this man would shift all his focus and ambition in a matter of moments, he would have at least read his profile online. Or, perhaps issued a full investigation to learn everything there was to know about him — signing it off as: “getting to know your competition”.

Alas, he did neither, leaving the universe — in all her surreptitious glory — to place them in the right place at the right time.

*

The Bahrain briefing room was hot and stuffy. Max was half out of his jacket when the door opened. An unfamiliar figure squeezed in. He was flushed, his hair spiked up. He had a notebook under his arm, a pen perched behind his ear, and he was struggling to get his phone into the front pocket of his jeans. The meeting was yet to start, but he shot Stefano Domenicali an apologetic look.

The man, who appeared close to his age, secured his phone and scanned the room for an available seat. It was surprising, concerning even, the way Max’s peripheral vision reduced until all he could see was this flustered, handsome man in the doorway.

It was like one of those cliché moments in a rom-com, the lead actress walking in, hit by a spotlight, the only one in the room — Max couldn’t look away. The man’s gaze landed on Max and his lips twitched up in a small smile, enough to make Max’s heart stutter. Max forced himself out of his stupor, smiled back, and continued to take off his jacket.

Niels Wittich tried to squeeze passed the man, knocking into him, forcing him to move out of the way and make a seating decision. He weaved through the row in front of Max, and was considerate enough not to sit directly in front of him, choosing the next seat over. Max surveyed the room, every other Team Principal was there, so that could only mean one thing. He was Charles Leclerc.

Charles settled into his seat and checked the spiral spine of his notebook, he paused. He opened it to a fresh page then started to pat down his pockets. Coming up short, he checked the spine again. Max squeezed his lips together to prevent himself from laughing. Before Charles could frisk his pockets a second time, Max leant forward and tapped his shoulder.

Charles turned around, his furrowed brow smoothing out. Handsome wasn’t all-encompassing enough to describe him. He was ethereal, timeless beauty carved by an ancient, wise deity.

Max didn’t trust his voice so he gestured to his own ear. It took a moment, but Charles’ face split into an embarrassed grin, his dimples popping, and cheeks flushing. He plucked the pen from behind his ear.

“Merci, J’oub— oh, sorry, I just got off the phone with my brother...”

Max didn’t have the opportunity to tell him he understood French — he’d lived in Monaco for long enough — because Charles wiggled the pen and kept speaking, “Thanks, I’d forget my head if it wasn’t screwed on.”

Charles looked down to clip his pen through the wire bound spine as Max said, “Now that would be tragic.”

He looked back in Max’s direction, his smile shy, his eyes twinkling under the fluorescent lights, Max’s chest flooded with smug satisfaction and something else. Something that tingled. And because Charles wasn’t presumptuous, he leant over the back of his chair, offered Max his hand and said: “Charles Leclerc, I’ve taken over from Freddy.”

“Max Verstappen, TP for Red Bull,” he shook his hand, “Enchanté, and all that.”

Charles snorted a laugh, “And all that,” he repeated, his tone soft and warm.

“Welcome to another season gentlemen,” Stefano said from the front of the room.

They broke their lingering handshake, acknowledging that their conversation was over, their smiles faded, and Charles turned around to face the front of the room.

Max peaked over Charles’ shoulder every now and again, watching him write headings, sub headings and dot points in faint, chicken-scratch cursive.

When the presentation moved on to the compulsory, OH&S policies and procedures Charles started to doodle a small race car in the margin of the page.

It was that moment Max knew he was doomed. He had no choice but to wriggle his way into Charles life, or ruin his career trying.

the same goes to you for getting excited LOL !! that was a very endearing talk about the both of them (all four of them) it was super interesting :) i love hearing other ppls thoughts on characters. honestly i see all ur points and agree with everything. :P one of the few ppl in the current blands tag (or overall, i know this place has been a nightmare) mentioning jack being a genocidal fascist so im like I Respect You . im a bit shy to babble on my thoughts but theres SOOOO MUCH. idk what u use for music so ill just tell u text so u can look it up - its on my general borderlands playlist but it was such a fiona song to me but the hand that feeds by the crane wives.. i know the lyrics are about not caring about money but the symbolism is important to me . i have parts that make me go nuts but you know . hehe

I am SO glad we’re on the same page lmao thank you!!! This really warms my heart :}

I totally understand being shy to spit out your thoughts, often, if I’m not having trouble just getting the words out in general, I’m too damn scared to say anything. Just recently I worked up the courage to actually speak what I think here. And I am GLAD I can be of service in that way oh my god. I respect u too it’s been. A huge honor, I stalk literally all the tags and it can be like a minefield. Like, It’s okay to like Jack as a character, he’s a compelling villain and I think he’s really well written. But he’s genocidal and a fascist… that can’t be ignored bl2 literally yells it at you. However an analysis of him is definitely not for this post and definitely not my strongest suit, we’ll see about that on my side.

And I use Spotify! Seeing you mention crane wives made my brain EXPLODE because not only are they a reaaaally Fiona like band, it gives real Sasha vibes, and just tales/borderlands in general. I’m definitely biased because of stuff with me and my friends own stories and headcanons and ocs, but even with a grain of salt if you or anyone wants to check more songs out pleaaase do. I definitely agree that I can see how the hand that feeds is soooo Fiona but I’m gonna go run and listen to it in the context of her now.

BUT I do have some Crane wives songs that I one, just recommend in general, and two, can fit the tales cast really well. High Horse, Curses [it’s popular I know but trust me I have a vision], and Arcturus Beaming.

High horse just reminds me of Fiona and Sasha a lot, it’s been influenced by stuff me and my best friend come up with so. Again. Biased, but it’s a GOOD song. Arcturus Beaming is new, and it’s not some people’s fav but because it reminded me so much of the tales cast I have a very good opinion of it. For lack of better words that shit was so good I immediately slapped that shit on my tales’ oc’s playlist cause holy shit. Good song. AND THE SYMBOLISM GOD. Anyways those are my recs if you wanna check them out, otherwise, Tysm and Ty for the song rec I appreciate it so so so much!!!!

Hello! Im sorry it’s kinda long, hope you don’t mind! 😅

My mbti is intp-t, so you could say im a little shy (i have problems talking to people i don’t know all that 💀) but when im around people I know im suddenly very extroverted (as are most people). My zodiac is Capricorn, and on the note of zodiacs - I don’t care about zodiacs at all, i don’t believe that the month and day u were born in will change your personality and the way you act 😁.

I really like animals, the only living creature i don’t like are spiders. But i like bugs too (i often pick them up from the ground and carry them to safety) but if it flies consider me out. I also have a dog that i take out on a walk basically everyday (which resulted in me getting bit recently 😜)

I don’t really have any hobbies, ever since i quit playing basketball (my teammates literally hated me for no reason, also were the reason I quit😻, but im not sporty, literally have asthma and can’t breathe when i run)) I have not taken on another hobby. I enjoy being lazy, like, getting up from the bed only when necessary. But when the time calls for social life i do go out and hang out with my friends. I also really like music. I enjoy travelling too, but if im at the beach and its extremely hot, i will stay in the water for 99% of the time (only going out for ice cream 😊)Oh another thing, im not really great at doing makeup, like i cover my eye bags, but that’s about it. Can’t even do eyeliner (i blame the fact i didn’t have a faze with makeup when i was younger.) I don’t like bright lights, loud noise, loud people (stfu), and when the temperature is super high and i sweat (i have eczema, which becomes so much worse in summer because of the sweating 😃)

Im not a very affectionate person usually, but people who are very affectionate towards me tend to make me more affectionate back (💀). I think i might get jealous very easily but I won’t say anything and just try to pretend im not jealous at all. Im also a little mean, but i mean it in good fun (usually)

Thank you for taking the time to read this! 😊

🧸

as part of requests for gaza!!!! get your own match up or send in a request <3

thank you my beloved for ur donation 💗💗

match up #1: bokuto koutarou

a little bit of an opposites attract dynamic here

listen i KNOW u said u don’t like loud people listen

LISTEN

i think this would be the perfect opportunity for a slight enemies to lovers dynamic here

LISTEN!!!!!!!!

bokuto would actually take it as a personal challenge to make u warm up to him; the type of guy to see you be affectionate and extroverted with people you’re comfortable with and immediately want to get to earn your trust enough for you to act like that with him

he would approach getting to know you with such an intense sincerity that at first it kind of seems like a joke but eventually it’s like. oh no. this guy is 100% serious

like he would ask so many questions abt you like he’s trying to speedrun getting to know you but he would just be very enthusiastic abt you and your interests

might be something you find annoying at first but he’s persistent and genuine in wanting to get to know you

and even though he can be dramatic and intense he does have a serious side that u could bring out & maybe his outgoing personality could bring out a different side in u

see do u see the vision

opposites attract im telling u

would be the most supportive person in the entire world of you if you felt shy around other people. even tho he himself is the epitome of outgoing, at social events he would hang back and stick with you to make sure you felt comfortable

and when you would start to warm up he would still stick by ur side like glue holding ur hand all night

just in case

in general would be extremely supportive of u and all of ur ideas.

also ik u don’t believe in it but i can’t help myself & he’s a virgo and it’s such a good matchup

the best partner for dog walking and trips to the dog park. he has such a dog personality it’s almost frightening. truly beloved by all animals and would 100% throw himself in front of a dog to protect you from a bite

would show up with bags of new dog toys and would love nothing more than spending time with you and your dog and it makes him happy to feel like you guys are a little family

would post pictures of you and your dog on instagram with captions like “i’m not a step dad, im the dad that stepped up” in reference to ur dog

impressed by the bugs you show him, would take a picture of every single one you find in your hands and make you smile next to the capture. each picture would be the new background on his phone

the SLIGHTEST indication of a wheeze and he is volunteering to carry you around so you can save energy

a very silly goofy guy but would take your health very seriously and would keep an extra inhaler around for you

u get a little jealous sometimes ??? don’t worry. he is the most loyal person on the planet

so believably dedicated he does not even see other people

he’s naturally very affectionate but i can absolutely see him building up to it; starting out holding back to respect what your comfortable with

and then gradually becoming more open with affection the more you’re comfortable with it

also beach days with him would go crazy

u would be chilling in the water & he’d be playing beach volleyball trying to show off to u

runs over to the water every time he does something cool and enthusiastically asks if u saw

if you didn’t, he try to do it again until you did lmafo

also a bit of a sensitive bb but would absolutely take the good natured roasting bc it’s from u

definitely pouts abt it tho

in conclusion: slow burn slight enemies to lovers opposites attract thank u for ur time

match up #2: sakusa kiyoomi

two people who match each others freak (/j)

ur a little mean? that’s okay he’s a little mean too. you guys can absolutely be mean together

tbh i feel like you two would talk excellent shit together

(not like nasty spreading rumors or being unnecessarily mean or anything like that, but you guys would share and discuss strong opinions on people and/or events with each other)

like ur teammates ? yeah he has his thoughts and opinions and he’s going to tell u those thoughts and opinions in detail

you get kind of jealous? so does he. probably more jealous. btw who was that guy you were talking to he’s ugly btw

you don’t like loud noises? that’s okay neither does he. he’ll find a quiet corner with you. he would rather be with you than his extremely rowdy teammates anyways

kind of instinctually covers your ears anytime there’s a loud noise. like he hears sirens coming down the street or one of those obnoxiously loud tricked out cars & he would lightly cover your ears with his palms

it only blocks out the noise a little but he just does his best to keep you from being subjugated to the noise machine that is the outside world

a very chill relationship i envision, like he wouldn’t feel the need to fill up your days with activities or elaborate dates

of course every now and then he would pull together something special, but most days he would absolutely be more than content with your company and nothing else

would easily match your energy and your vibe and is ecstatic when he gets to spend a day with you doing absolutely nothing

would eagerly devour all the music you recommend to him. trusts your opinion above all else & would ask that you make him playlists for him to listen to while he goes to the gym

carries around hand sanitizer in his pocket for when your dog makes his way onto his lap. like he’ll pet him, but he double sanitizes after

will absolutely not be scooping up after ur dog on walks but will provide moral support from a safe distance

kinda back to the jealous thing, he likes to keep you to himself

not like he wouldn’t be proud of u or anything, he’d just be very protective of the dynamic u two would establish and wouldn’t want other people interfering

like ur his partner and he would take that v seriously and maybe be slightly possessive in a way that’s not like, creepy

more like in a way like, this is my person and they’re perfect for me no one dare to fuck it up or interfere in any way

in conclusion: very similar energies that mesh so well together u guys would basically be like soulmates

he does not fw the bugs tho

match up #3: kozume kenma

my brain is cooking up a friends to lovers plot for u and kenma

🧑‍🍳 (me)

like i feel like you and kenma would be good friends and it would be nice for him to be around someone who’s more introverted and chill bc he’s constantly around people who push him into always trying harder

not that that’s a bad thing, but being with you would grant him a kind of reprieve. like ur his safe space

you two could sit in comfortable silence together and there would be no pressure or weirdness

and this would be the type of crush to fester forever until eventually he’s just like “u know i like u right”

it would be an easy transition from friendship to a relationship bc kenma would already feel so comfortable around you

streamer ceo kenma would be like. a quasi-sugar daddy. like he just wants to show his affection by funding your love of traveling and supporting your dreams of not having to get out of bed ever

gift giving is definitely his love language

gets a bit extravagant with it bc he’s rich

like he hears you like a band and oh what’s that he got you box seats so you can watch in comfort away from the crowd

life with kenma would be very quiet and relaxing

would keep your identity a secret since he’s a public figure and doesn’t want you to get subjected to the loud stupidity of the internet

but understands ur jealously so makes it very clear to overly affectionate fans that he appreciates their support but no he’s absolutely not single even a little and please stop making weird comments in the chat pls

would lowkey be afraid of ur dog LMAFO like he would absolutely mind his business when it comes to the dog

would absolutely ask you to cover up the bags under his eyes too

like after a long night of steaming they would be DARK and it’s not that he even really cares about them but he would like the attention u would give him while you cover them up

would not be extremely affectionate most of the time but would be very liberal with it randomly

like very catlike behavior would randomly and without and notice plop himself by ur side and expect affection

in conclusion: besties who are in love <3

bonus match up: tsukishima kei !!!!!

i hope u enjoyed <3333333

[rollercoasterwords]

same anon who is fretting left and right abt r and s and everyone else ;_; i love having ur insight and thank u kindly for the long answer…. exactly what i wanted *evil laughter* but i have a follow up!

this might be too far into spoiler territory tho…. another Painful element of this beautiful fic is the lack of love between s and j it’s KILLING MEEEE (as always in the best way) not seeing them as they usually are… will we ever get any s+j friendship crumbs? or is this just not possible within the world you’ve created? i trust ur Vision either way i’m just gnawing at the bars of my prison cell thinking about the possibilities…..

hmmm yeah i feel like i can’t really talk abt like. what’s going 2 happen w them without getting too spoilery (although my usual like…wip policy applies here lol if you absolutely want them 2 be friends stop reading if u absolutely don’t want them 2 be friends stop reading be ready 4 it 2 go either way etc) but! i can talk a bit abt like. how james currently feels where we’re at in the fic & how his feelings have changed

what i've been trying 2 do w j + s in this fic is like. well clearly they hated each other at the beginning bc s sees this arrogant pigheaded order soldier whereas j sees this entitled foolish d.e. & that starting animosity is pretty intense, although it's a bit more personal 4 s--j is like. one of the first order members he's knowingly met + becomes kind of his warden in a way so he pretty specifically hates j whereas for j s is just one of many d.e. he's encountered before so he doesn't really hold a grudge in the same way once they start working together, although he also isn't quick 2 trust s bc unlike his brother s didn't join the order of his own accord (obv. reg didn't exactly join of his own accord, either, but that's pretty much how j sees it).

so when they do actually start working together j is like. well this guy's gotta prove himself if he wants me 2 trust him but once s does start proving himself he's pretty willing 2 put the old animosity aside, and he views s as part of their team--hence him risking his life 2 go back & save s, etc. s, on the other hand, is holding a personal grudge & specifically does not like j so even when j starts acting a bit friendlier towards him he's still like. hmph. bc while j is like "oh holding u prisoner was nothing personal obviously it was just what we had 2 do 4 the order" for s it was very much personal! lol

anyway despite the grudge etc. they do both mutually begin 2 realize that they have certain key similarities--specifically, the fact that they both feel responsible for the people they care about & would do pretty much anything 2 protect them, even if it's something those people wouldn't want them to do. so when we reach this point where they need 2 break into the dept. of mysteries, they both end up reaching the same conclusion abt how they're going 2 have 2 do that, and realizing that they've both reached that same conclusion kind of bolsters that mutual respect they're developing 4 each other. so there's sort of this truce struck while they're planning s's obliviation, where they still aren't friends exactly & probably wouldn't go so far as 2 say they like each other, but they're also like...the only people who can kind of understand what the other one is going thru + sacrificing (as in the convo in the james pov where s says 'they're all gonna hate us,' etc), and in a way it's nice 2 have someone who understands u in a way the others can't...also s going thru w this whole plan has made j respect him a lot more & view them as much more similar in terms of both being practical (and ruthless) enough 2 place larger goals above their own well-being + being willing 2 do things that will make their loved ones hate them as long as it keeps those loved ones safe. so j's feelings towards s have obviously changed quite a bit! of course now s has no idea who j is so. suppose maybe he'll have a chance 2 make a better first impression next time around lol

[franciskirkland]

im sending you a million hugs and kisses (open or closed mouth dealer’s choice). and orange juice (pulp or no pulp ur choice) OR EVEN APPLE JUICE, IF YOU’RE A TASTE GODDESS OUTSIDE OF SEXUAL TASTES. and a fancy cup of tea. and freedom for the foreseeable future. I am not a doctor BUT. trust that i AM a prophet and quite literally just had a vision thattttt…. everything will be alright cus im coming to find you*🤞🤞🤞and i missed you and im SOOO GLAD UR BACK HOME 😿 and and and I LOVE YOU I HOPE YOUR TESTS GO WELL AND IM ROOTING FOR YOU ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜 🫂 ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜

i hope cleorrrr—and SIGH hubby too… ❤️—gets the biggest hugs ever, and she licks your face and gives you those crazy ass humanlike cat hugs you see on twitter MWAH MWAH

*idk if u like the killers, but read this in the cadence/with the vibe of “everything will be alright” by them

THANK U <3 this is so sweet im sobbing ily too... puppy eyes emoji x2... if i put my trust in anyone on this gosh darned webbed site its u. i have faith in ur sapphic healing powerrs dr maggie (prayer hands emoji) and I MISSED YOU SM i have never been in a hospital for that long... and without frussy?? torturous.

anyway the consensus is that it's probably both migraines and the intracranial pressure conspiring together to inflict maximum suffering. i got a few prescriptions and once my spine gets tapped like a maple tree im gonna feel much better <3 im just frustrated bc i dont know when exactly im getting that procedure done so idk what to tell my work?? like they said they would call to schedule so im just waiting for that. hopefully i'll know by the end of the day.

i missed cleurrrr so much... sobbing emoji... i heard she was being a MAJOR STINKER while i was gone and now shes being very sweet and sooky <3 zana refuses to come near me... bitch ass... as for my husband he's the same... he's a moid after all but it was weird being away from him tho </3

anyway i'll take uhhhh sopping wet open mouth kisses (gay) and orange juice WITH PULP bc im a sick freak who likes bits of slimy chewy stuff suspended in liquid. boba. chia seeds. secretly im hungry for tadpole. and mayhaps i shallst brew a cheeky pot of T2's finest french earl grey... ohohoho... a delight for the senses .... a positively brilliant suggestion milady....

(and yeah the killers are p alright they're my favorite mormons definitely... 'all these things that i've done' is a certified banger + 'when you were young' makes me ugly sob... ukus coded??)

[lanaactuallyabanana]

Okayyy, so I decided since the last matchup I asked for ended up being *cough* The name we do not speak *cough*, I decided Imma ask for a redo on this cause... Yeah, I think you can tell why lol. I've changed since last year and that's gonna be noticeable in the updated matchup!

5'6 with semi-long, wavy, brunette hair and amber eyes. I have lots of freckles and glasses that have a black, square frame. In Summer, I usually wear pants and a tshirt, or shorts and a sweater. If I'm not wearing that, I'm probably wearing a dress. (Outfit reference is at the bottom). I have received a lot of support when it comes to my anxiety and while I have my moments, I am more comfortable being loud and energetic out in public. I'm a cat person and my love language is physical touch/affection, that hasn't changed in the slightest. I'm super big of PDA, I love hand holding, kissing, etc. Obviously nothing too much. No making out in public, just like pecks on the cheek.

To narrow down some other stuff, I'm straight, but no hate goes to the LGBTQ+ community, they super chill. I love nicknames, love stuffed animals, and love love love band. I'm a flute, as you know, and while I do suck at practicing, I'm not bad at it. I've met all my super duper close friends through band (including Jackie, she's a retired Saxophonist). I have a music stand in my room.

Or

Just for reference, I do like brighter colors like blues and oranges and reds and purples or violets.

Also, just to give a vibe check for the matchup:

Spotify ✅

YouTube ✅

Books ✅

Pinterest ✅✅✅✅✅

, streamer matchups !

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

LOADING....

you have been matched with ... dream!

okay the first thing i thought about was height, i know some ppl dont rly care about it BUT

if you're 5'6...

and he's 6'2...

do we see the vision????

okay but srsly the height difference would actually drive people insane (including me.)

also yalls eyes would be so contrasting yet so complimenting towards each other (your hazel eyes + his green eyes)

y'all doing sorta matching outfits

like not completely the same print/pattern or that kinda thing

but like similar colors or formal/casual wear if that makes sense

just outfits that compliment each other cause its cutesy

hes the type of person to also comfort you in times when ur anxious or nervous in any situation

he could literally be on a meeting call but if he sees you needing him for something, he'll hang up instantly

you're the most important thing in the world to him out of everything

he loves holding your hands like holy shit

you have to pull this mans fingers off you so you can grab something or go somewhere else

the hand size difference omg im screaming

hugs omg

either hug you from behind from your waist or normal hugs but he'll lean down and place his head on your head

he loves to help you practice (former band kid writing this 🙋‍♀️)

page flipping on your stand

if you ever need a tuning he'll have it tuned asap for you

he has a metronome and tuner app on his phone for you

you helping him with music stuff

he loves getting your opinion on everything he does cause he trusts u sm

hes also constantly giving you stuffed animals

OMG YOU KNOW HOW PPL USED TO COLLECT SQUISHMALLOWS AND HAD THAT LITTLE ROPE THING ON THEIR WALLS HJDHASHSSD

he prob built something like that for you cause he kept giving you so many

no complaints here tho 🤷‍♀️

please support me and my writing by liking, replying, commenting, reblogging and following me! it means the world

love u guys xoxoxo

[7cakerolls]

ctto 4 the gif !

i want to know you. human! neteyam x reader (highschool AU)

the eyes that could look only at you. (chapter five- finale)

aah thank u all for ur love and support on the series!! please leave ideas on what to write next :-)))

previous chapter…

you shut the door in his face, knowing the last thing you needed was to see the face of the guy you had once admired more than anyone in the world, and the one who single-handedly shattered your expectations for love with one action. you pressed your back to the door, hoping he would just leave it alone and you could forget about this whole thing.

“(yn), i know you are in there. you cannot ignore me forever! it was a misunderstanding, she pushed herself on me. i do not want her, i could only want you. you have to believe me…” he sounded genuine about it, but your trust in him had been slaughtered. how could you even look at him, when that face you once loved had been all over the face of another?

“i…i ran after you immediately. she means nothing to me. do you not know how much i adore you? please… speak with me eventually. i’ll wait for you.” he said sadly. you could hear the pain and grief in his voice. as he just began to walk away, you meekly opened the door. “do you mean it?” you asked. he turned around and looked you directly in your eyes, his vision focusing solely on you.

“i only have eyes for you, i promise.” he walked up to your doorstep, looking at you with love and affection. he reached out to hold your hand, gently, and you accepted, even if you were scared. somehow being im his embrace meant you felt no longer fearful of what the future held in love. holding his hand made you realize that you were safe, and that everything would be alright. you felt at peace for once, being with the boy you had grown to adore more as the days went on.

——timeskip to a couple years forward——

you all had grown up so well, with you and neteyam becoming inseparable. you had become the best of friends and best of lovers, as you knew everything about him from his favorite color, to the birthmark on his left calf. as did he for you. you all had shared so many moments and so many memories, from dearly intimate ones to loss and grief together.

but today was the day you would part for a while, until the day you would come to reunite. neteyam was graduating, and you were a year behind. this hurt you, to see him walking across that stage without him, as he progressed on to his next stage of life. but you knew everything would be alright. you would come join him at college in the spring, bringing back the dynamic duo.

“my love, i have accomplished many things during my time with you.” he spoke softly as he gently held your hand and looked in your eyes. “me too, ‘teyam… i’ll miss you a lot.” you were tearing up, and he hated when you were sad, so he went to wipe them from your eyes that were growing red and puffy. “but do you know what my greatest accomplishment is?” he asked you sweetly, staring into your eyes with nothing but love.

“it was getting to know you.” he said, and this time, you knew that everything would be okay in this moment, and for the ones that would follow.

this wasn’t goodbye, and you were sure of that. no more maybe.

**end**

thank you for reading!!

AND YES HE IS SOOOOO HAKU-CODED TO ME (my first bf since i was a kid… coincidence? methinks not…) and also i reallllllllly love your fic of suguru going to reader’s apartment to declare war but he instead goes & has tea & cookies instead… i think i read that fic ages ago on ao3 and i could never find it again so it’s so Poetic Cinema that i found it here and that it was YOU and that you created so many more amazing fics… like i’m so well fed omfg & i’m super excited for anything you have coming out next!

[terminalisms]

caved so quick to the 2nd muse impulse o mein gott......throwing sejoon into the mix with another minimal stats page + round two of rambly character intros 😵‍💫 if u are interested in plotting just like this post or add me on discord!! (tip.toph) 🥰

tw! mentions of terminal illness, death of a parent

only son to 2 anomalies. plain jane working class background

in a past life, dad is still a top tier hardboiled detective who doesn't gotta think about the fact he has a wife and kid at home

in this one, mom is inconveniently out of the picture for......... [vague gestures] reasons and he has to hunker down into single father life fast. ends up opening a restaurant in order to be able to provide

but in spite of all of this his childhood isn't so bad! he and his dad are close despite obvious stark differences in personality, which can be summed up as naive softie vs cynical hardass. even if sejoon's too trusting ways has dad up at night wondering how the hell is this kid gonna survive on his own

also dad: [does the absolute most to keep him shielded and sheltered cause he's Seen Things and as a parent's bare minimum that means letting a kid being a kid. which means shoving things deep under a rug and the default response to any inkling of curiosity being "Don't worry about it"]

until sejoon's anomaly kicks in at 12-13 by making a patron's chair float on accident and his dad's like k. better late than never......

its a little (ok a lot) hard to coach sejoon through controlling his abilities considering dad's own anomaly is not anything remotely close to moving things w his mind (its memory manipulation btw for some hwang fam #trivia) and sejoon is like ): but this is so cool why shouldnt i wanna show it off......

their deeply anti-anomaly district with equally staunchly anti-anomaly neighbors, friends, politicians being a VERY good reason not to: (:

dad: wear this patch thingie. dont ask why just do what i say

(thank god for nullivi huh like seriously)

doesnt stop the bubble bursting with when people realize ur not "human" they treat u different but ykw.........the sun is still shining and the world is much much bigger than their humble slice of daegu for EVERYONE to be that way

sua's open for admissions just around the time sejoon's thinking about higher ed AND broadening his horizons. gets in on arts scholarship and off he goes

baby bird leaving the nest turns fish out of the water. college and seoul are a bit of an adjustment but exciting all the same. and he does thrive! gets involved in the sporting rallies, really developing his artistic vision, has a social life, and gets to be his #true self among fellow anomalies the whole enchilada

things only really go downhill in the last 6 months of his undergrad with 2 wrecking balls: a devastating breakup and (TW: ILLNESS, DEATH) his dad being diagnosed by stage iv lung cancer

its right after graduation that sejoon immediately falls off the face of the earth for 3 years to be his father's sole caretaker until his death (END OF TW) no one i mean no one knows what he was doing or where he is

but hes back now to do his mfa!! let the bella loca where the hell have u been-isms begin

vibe wise hes bright, social, easy to talk to but can also be kind of spacey eccentric and the ultimate pacifist. the type that makes u feel like u guys are sooo close but then when u reflect ur like actually idk if i really know much about him at all (which!! is not totally intentional he just makes for a better listener and is great at making conversation about what YOU have to say). these days that same can do energy is there but it doesnt feel the same if u look too close but its fine!!! everything is fine

plots that are marginally better than the first time around but not by much:

friends who were blindsided by him going mia without warning

friends who are gracious enough (or equally ??????? avoidant? weird even) to pick up where they left off like nothing happened in the first place

people who dont even know who he is so like none of the above for his sob story doesnt even really matter

this is really really limited to one (1) person but somebody who managed to run into him in the three years that he was laying low

will require extensive plotting but the ex......not necessarily endgame but i am in the mood for some bittersweet woulda shoulda coulda's, angst and answering the penultimate question of: why did we break up?

former teammates? i imagine he was part of house samjoko during undergrad

ur a stranger feeling nosy and ur ultimate mission is figuring out where hes been. he lets u speculate

u need someone to do ur graphics. can be contractual pro bono whatevah.......

im running out of steam here but i am open to it all please hmu

teo... i need #fashion #advice and i trust your opinion.... found a cool leather jacket that checks all the necessary boxes. BUT. idk if i should pull the trigger. i've always wanted to be a leather jacket girl but in my heart of hearts i am a jean jacket girl... i can see the see the fits and the visions in my head but like. again i'm not sure. how are you though? i loved the bday outfit preview... have you made any fashion purchases as of late?

hi grace my darling!

okay first of all you know how people like to make capsule wardrobe and put white shirt in it like it’s something you Need? They always put leather jackets too. The thing is i hate structured shirts - they make me feel stuffy and will never be comfortable to me. So they are obviously not something i “need” to have. You being a jean girl jacket is just your preference and all i’m saying a leather jacket (to me) is a must but to you might just collect dust (great rhyme hhu wants me)

anyway some questions i ask myself when i want to buy something expensive (you can answer while ur reading) is: how much will i wear it (season wise), does it go with clothes I already own, if i have to pick an outfit will i pick that or something i already own (would u pick a leather jacket over your jean one) and do i feel comfortable and confident wearing it or do i feel like i’m wearing a costume. So i think answering these would make the choice pretty easy. I personally own two leather jackets and a leather coat and i wear them all so much - but i only own one thrifted levi’s jean jacket i wear maybe 3 times a year. It’s a staple but not for ME you know!

November is passing so quickly and tomorrow would be my dad’s birthday so i’m feeling a little blue :-) but i’m okay! Thank you i love it too! See i’m gonna wear it with my fur jacket which i think most people see as some thin out of their comfort zone but i’ve been wearing them since i was a child. And funny you ask because i did an hour ago 😭 I bought ugg dupes for my dog walks… i wanted to try them out and see if i like them enough to spend 200€ on the real thing. But i haven’t been shopping lately because i’ve been broke as fuck honestly and now that i have money again i’m like scared lmfao like i got used to with being very frugal now every purchase feels like a slap to my face. I do wanna go thrift shopping i’m on a hunt for a nice sweater but i will post pictures of my haul if i get something 🫶🏻

random question: what are ur favorite twice ships and their dynamics to write??

(and btw i absolutely love everything you’ve written btw like esp ur hurt/comfort self harm series like i eat that shit up and reread it when i’m having a rough time :) and ur also REALLY fucking good at writing smut like ur the entire package)

ah anyway hope ur doing well!! thank u!!

!! first of all tysm! I appreciate it <333

Also mmmm that's a good question, tbh my secret is that the method of how I write can only be described as receiving a vision from a god and desperately trying to transcribe what I see into words . if that makes sense. So the *goal* is to think deeply about dynamics n all that good deep stuff because I notice when other authors do that and I love it, but in reality . I don't really do that much . Or maybe I do on some level just not super consciously. (adding a read more for those who don’t care and don’t wanna scroll)

Sorry you probably weren't going for that with your question! Big fan of the misamo dynamics both for hurt/comfort and for smut, because imo sn and mn can either be needy and whiny as fuck or seductress vibes/Mean. And I've been on this puppy mm thing for a bit bc of things I've read, but I forget if I've always thought that way. In the hurt/comfort world of things, something about me likes to project onto mn (sorry to her), and mm and sn I feel are Good with emotional things, sn in the talking and shes good at comforting way, mm in the way she's just , kinda puppy actually lol. (omg I can go on and on abt sn if u wanna hear it). Jh with anyone is fun to play with, because you can either go leader vibes she's in charge/she knows how to help, or she wants to give up control/she's hiding her pain because she wants to be a good leader.

I hope that answers it! u were probably talking dynamic in general but in the visions i receive (lol) they tend to be either hurt/comfort or smut so I can speak to that. Also can u believe I actually wrote more for this and had to cut it out .. apologies if u wanted a quick and easy answer ! But if you wanna hear more about someone or a dynamic specifically, please ask. Thoughts tend to come to me when I'm prompted so hit me the fuck up.

I hope you're doing well too anon! thank you for the ask <3 also sorry for having this sit here for 4 days, I've got plans and drafts TRUST I wanna keep this acct alive and well, unfortunately things got super busy but hopefully after the next week I should have more time!
