#this school is pretty open minded but i still don't want to do that lmfao

[rapidhighway]

So let's hope that my prof won't make me come out in front of a group of strangers because of my project idea huh :>

[knifefather]

my favorite drv3 boys catch you smoking pot

Yall should have expected this out of me lmfao. I haven’t posted in a while so boom! Headcanons!

content warnings: marijuana usage (obvi), character x reader platonic (mostly), mentions of death/murder, suicidal thoughts, Shuichi gets a contact high, Kokichi is a bastard. 100% unedited 😎 👉👉

𝙍𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙤 𝘼𝙢𝙖𝙢𝙞 ღ He finds you in the game room shortly after the killing game began. You ran off right after the announcement, so he had to sate his curiosity and follow you. Not following you could mean the difference between life and death for everyone.

ღ Once you made it down there, you slumped against the door of the game room, trying to calm your racing heart. This killing game... being in this school with a bunch of strangers... It was so anxiety-inducing that it felt as though ice was pumping through your veins.

ღ You supposed that you couldn't just stand around. Something had to be done to occupy your wandering mind. You pulled back from the door abruptly, only to hear a clink in your pocket. Your brows knitted together in confusion. Shoving your hand inside, you pulled out one of your favorite pipes. Part of you was appalled that it made its way into the school with you, but the other part was grateful. It looked like it was still mostly packed, sans the burnt top layer.

ღ You plopped your ass down in the seats of one of the many racing arcade games. Looking at the shitty, pixelized screen, you realized that you had played this one as a kid. Procuring a lighter from your pocket, you sparked up, not caring about the smell. You were all going to die anyway.

ღ Rantaro saw you dart inside the game room and shut the door behind you. Cautiously, he pressed his ear up to the wood a few moments after you entered. He heard some light movement, then silence. Then, after a moment, some more movement. He pulled away from the door, frowning.

ღ He was ready to walk away when he heard coughing on the other side of the door. Is someone being killed? Is this a trap to kill him? He was faced with a decision--potentially be killed, or allow someone else to be killed. He wrapped his hand around the doorknob, hesitating for a beat. The coughing only worsened.

ღ Rantaro pushed the door open, the creaking being lost to the sound of your coughs. His eyes went wide as he saw you doubled over in the seat, holding your chest. Smoke permeated the air, sounding alarms off in his head. He approached you, saying your name urgently.

ღ "Are you alright? Are you hurt?" He pulled your hands away from your chest. His tense shoulders relaxed as he observed no blood or injuries from you. But he did notice you clutching the pipe in your hand, the bowl still cherried. "Oh."

ღ You finally caught your breath and you were able to speak. "I'm fine... Just hitting the ganj one more time before time runs out. Sorry for worrying you."

ღ A shadow fell over his features. "Don't worry about the time running out. I know a way to end this killing game." His change in tone made a shiver go down your spine. You decided to change the subject.

ღ "Do you want to smoke the rest of this with me? There's not a whole lot left, but it's still something."

ღ Rantaro was shocked at your offer. "Why would you share with me? You don't even know me." He was genuinely curious.

ღ "You don't even know me, but you came to check up on me. Please, take a hit, if you want." You held out the bowl and lighter to him, setting them in his open palm. He accepted them hesitantly from you before taking a seat in the racing game seat beside yours.

ღ "I've...never done this before," he said with a nervous chuckle.

ღ "Wait, really? You kind of seem like the stoner type," you responded, eyeballing his khaki pants and jewelry. You were already pretty high, and your words were coming out more loosely.

ღ "I don't think it's right to generalize people like that. But, I can understand how you would think that." Your expression changed when he said that. "A lot of people make assumptions about me because of how I look," he backed up. "That I'm a stoner, a playboy... Those kinds of things."

ღ "I'm sorry," you murmured. You really were. People said all kinds of things about you too, based off of your appearance and Ultimate ability. Rantaro paused to take a hit off of the bowl. If you didn't know any better, you would think that Rantaro was a pro. The flame of the lighter flickered to life, reigniting the flower. He took a deep breath, eyes fluttering closed as the smoke passed through his lips. You felt like you could fall in love with him.

ღ He held it for a moment. You thought he would gracefully exhale, but nope. He coughed, hard, all of the smoke rushing from his mouth and nose at once. He struggled to breathe, holding his chest much like before. You couldn't help but laugh at the irony, and the fact that the weed was making you giggly.

ღ You urged him to take another hit when he tried to pass it back to you. His next hit was much more controlled. He exhaled shakily, but without choking up. He passed the bowl back to you, his eyes red already.

ღ "I think that is finished." You dipped your finger in the bowl only to be met with ash. You nodded and stowed it back in your pocket. Both you and Rantaro just sat in the game room for a while, making small talk. The intense expression on his face from earlier died down, leaving the smile of a normal teenager. You tried to enjoy your high with him, knowing that this may be one of the last times you may ever be high with a friend again.

𝙆𝙤𝙠𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙊𝙪𝙢𝙖

ღ Catches you hitting a joint after a class trial. Another one of your friends has been murdered. Another one of your friends has been a murderer, then murdered themselves. You were tired of all of the senseless death and carnage. Your stomach was queasy from beholding the execution. You learned how to control you vomit one or two trials before this one.

ღ You all dispersed from the trial grounds as usual, heading to your rooms. You hung back from the crowd, watching them all enter into the dorm. That left you in the courtyard, alone.

ღ Hands in your pockets, you decided to take a walk. You had a joint stashed in your shirt pocket that you had specifically rolled for an emergency occasion. You considered wanting to kill yourself and get everything over with an emergency. Your mind was jumbled, thinking a thousand thoughts at the same time as thinking nothing at all. Plus, your stomach was still uneasy. You started off towards the sight of a previous murder--the pool.

ღ The heavy door wooshed open, the dim evening light pouring into the space. You flipped on the lights, the iridescent glow suddenly illuminating the room. Even with the lights, it was still quite dim inside. When you gazed down into the pool, you noticed that the debris from Ryoma's murder was now cleared. You took a moment to remember him.

ღ Sitting down on one of the folding chairs, you fished the joint out. You sparked it hastily, eager to pull a blanket of haze over your thoughts for a while. The crackling sound of the bud was comforting to you. You inhaled deeply, watching it burn. As you exhaled, the smoke of your joint was caught in the moonlight streaming through the large gym window overhead. The tendrils seemed to be dancing with each other, performing a complicated number to the tune of the night.

ღ "Woooow! I didn't think I'd find you here! What's that smell?"

ღ You groaned outwardly and looked to your side. Kokichi was standing there, smiling with his arms held nonchalantly over his head. Dread settled in your belly.

ღ "Why are you here?" you inquired, ignoring his comment.

ღ "Welllll," he started, coming closer. You stood up from the chair. "When Tsumugi asked if you were okay earlier and you said yes, I could tell that you were lying." The purr in Kokichi's voice as he said "lying" sent a strange feeling to your chest. You chose to blame it on the weed.

ღ "So, I came to see what you were up to. I can now see that you're up to no good," he teased. You had poorly attempted to hide the joint by stashing it behind your back, but Kokichi could see the smoke rising from behind you.

ღ "Why does it matter to you?" You stopped trying to hide the joint, inside taking a long drag right in front of him.

ღ "I was just worried about you! I worry about all of my lovely friends here." A lie. You blew your smoke right in his face, triggering a coughing fit. "W-Why did you do that? I have asthma," he said in between coughs. The way he was hunched was exaggerated, as well as the heaving of his body with every cough. Another lie. ღ "Stop fucking around," you hissed. All you wanted to do was smoke in peace, but it seemed that you couldn't even have that.

ღ "Okay!" Kokichi exclaimed. He was immediately fine--no more hacking. That made you even more pissed off. ღ "Can you go already?"

ღ "Why do you want to be alone? You know, it's pretty dangerous to be all alone in a place like this at night. Especially after another killing just happened." His words should have been sympathetic and caring, but they were anything but. The cute, small smile on his face hid malintent. Another shiver rippled through you. His smile widened.

ღ "Isn't it obvious? I wanted to smoke. Alone. Without anyone else around. Including you."

ღ "Aww, you're not gonna share with me? How rude. I definitely wanted to smoke that with you." Yet another lie.

ღ "You done?"

ღ "I'm being serious! Let me have some! Pleeeease?" Kokichi whined, looking at you eagerly. You couldn't believe it. You looked from your joint to Kokichi. As much as you disliked him, you couldn't pass up an opportunity to make a smoking buddy in this hell school.

ღ "O-Okay, I'll let you hit it. But don't hog it, okay?" He nodded fervently. You held it out to him, and he gingerly grabbed it between his fingers. He gazed at it for a moment, observing the red-hot cherry. He brought it to his lips with little hesitation. You were surprised that he was being so confident.

ღ Just as the tip of the joint touched his lips, he pulled it away. With a giggle, he chucked it into the pool with a plop. The fire sizzled out, along with your sanity.

ღ "Wh-What the fuck!?" you exclaimed, dejected. You had more stashed away in your room, but you didn't know how much longer your stash was going to last.

ღ "Because drugs are bad for you! I would never, ever do drugs~" he sang, giggling. "I'm just looking out for you because I care about you so much. I can't steal your heart if you're dead." His expression was blank.

ღ "Anyway, I'll see you later! Bye!" Kokichi smiled at you one more time before leaving the pool room. You watched him go. Then you turned your gaze to the pool. You could see your joint floating around in the water, but you knew there was no way that you could retrieve it. It was against Monokuma's rules about using the pool at nighttime.

ღ You returned to your room, Kokichi's words swirling around in your head. Laying down on the mattress, you desperately wished for sleep to come. The slight buzz that you had from earlier certainly helped. You tired yourself out by trying to discern Kokichi's lies from the truth.

𝙎𝙝𝙪𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙞 𝙎𝙖𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖 + 𝙆𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙤 𝙈𝙤𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙖

ღ Shuichi found you in the courtyard. You had been planning this smoke session for a few days, and you had a pretty solid strategy. The plan entailed waiting until nighttime and then sneaking out to the courtyard. You would carry your bong and bud in your backpack and then bust it open on a bench somewhere. Preferably close to the side of the school, where you couldn't easily be seen.

ღ Tonight was the night. You packed away your things in your bag was you planned. You dressed in something comfy and black. Drawing in a deep breath, you opened the door to your room. Peaking your head out into the hallway, you looked back and forth to ensure that you were alone. You didn't hear a single sound.

ღ Swiftly, you jetted from the room and down the stairs. You made an effort to keep your footsteps light. You then snuck out of the dorm rooms and out into the night. A cool breeze hit your face as you started towards the school, stopping you in your tracks.

ღ Tilting your head to the sky, you watched the stars twinkling above. The air tasted sweet, and for a moment, you almost forgot that you were in a place that you didn't want to be. Removing yourself from your thoughts, you continued your path to the side of the school.

ღ While you were lost in thought, you didn't notice that someone else had joined you outside. Shuichi watched you disappear into the shadows, panic rising in his throat. His immediate thought was that you were planning a murder. A twinge of pain crossed over his face. He really liked you. He hoped that you would never do something like this, that he wouldn't have to expose your crime. But here he was once again.

ღ He followed you to the side of the school, always staying several paces behind you. He felt strange following you like this, but he had to make sure that you weren't going to hurt anyone. Finally, you came to a stop at the tables in front of the dining hall entrance.

ღ You set your bag on the table and began to remove its contents. First, you took out your bong, then you removed your lighter and grinder. The table was illuminated by one of the nearby lamps lining the sidewalk. You made yourself comfortable in one of the chairs and packed the bowl, happily humming yourself. You felt triumphant in your endeavor. You lit the bowl and puffed away, the water bubbling noisily.

ღ Shuichi was stunned. You weren't planning to murder someone, but you were using drugs. He didn't know how to feel. Revealing himself was the next wisest option.

ღ Suddenly, you heard your name. You looked towards the lamp near the sidewalk to see Shuichi emerging from its shadow. He stood in the warm yellow light, his black hair and clothes absorbing it. He said it again, worry and fondness in his tone. "Why are you doing that?"

ღ Your eyes went wide as you witnessed Shuichi. Your plan was ruined by one of the most innocent people that it could be ruined by. "Sh-Shuichi! I... Well, you see... I..." you struggled to find something to say. He came closer, but still retained his distance. His brow was furrowed as he observed the glass piece in your hand. You felt ashamed. "Why are you out here anyway?" you interrogated.

ღ "I train with Maki and Kaito every night. I was leaving to meet them when I saw you wander off. I had to make sure everything was okay. But then I... er, interrupted you."

ღ "I didn't think anyone was following me. Listen, Shuichi... I smoke weed to relax and take my mind off of things. I think that we could all use that right about now. Besides, it's legal in the country that I'm from." Your explanation wasn't the best, but he seemed to buy it. He uncrossed his arms and dropped them to his sides with a sigh.

ღ "That would make sense that it's different in your country. I'm sorry for judging you so quickly. I'm just not used to people doing that kind of thing around me."

ღ You weren't exactly sure how to respond. "It's all good."

ღ "Well... I'll leave you to it. I'm sure that Kaito and Maki are wondering where I am."

ღ "Shuichi! There you are!" Both you and Shuichi saw Kaito approaching the table, arms outstretched. "Where you been, man? I've been waiting for like, ever!" As Kaito came closer, he saw your items out on the table and the glazed-over look in your eyes.

ღ "Are we smoking?" he asked, his friendly smile morphing into a wicked grin. Shuichi's mouth hung open, whereas you began to grin as well.

ღ "Hell yeah we are. Care to join?" you pointed the bong in Kaito's direction.

ღ "Why not? Maki isn't showing up tonight, anyway. We can always train after we're done here," Kaito proclaimed, taking the bong and lighter from you.

ღ "Kaito!? You too?" Shuichi's face was red and his hair was disheveled

ღ "You smoke and then exercise? You're built different," you joshed.

ღ “I used to smoke all the time before I started training to be an astronaut.” Kaito lit up the bong without a thought, taking a good-sized rip before trying to pass it to Shuichi.

ღ "I'm good," he replied. Kaito didn't pressure him, and instead handed it back to you. Shuichi, at this point, was starting to feel light-headed from all of the smoke around him. The buzz in his head was almost pleasant, especially as he sat around and chatted with you and Kaito. The smiles on your faces brought a small smile to his face as well. Maybe this wasn't so bad. Maybe this was just what he needed.

I totally get your point about the original, and I didn’t mean to criticize the game itself because I know it’s practically ancient, at least in terms of videogame standards. It’s just that I’ve seen so many old fans saying how the original is superior in every way and it pretty much discredits everything added to the remakes. Like I get that they have their nostalgia, but it gets annoying after a while if you genuinely enjoyed the new stuff and you just have a bunch of people complaining about everything. I’ll go on Reddit to see if anyone has theories about the ending or what they thought about the game in general and I’ll run into a good amount of people on every post complaining about something- even if it’s inconsequential- and it’ll feel like they’re doing it just because they’re grumpy it’s not a one to one remake.

Again it’s not meant to be criticism against the original which is like three decades old by now, but rather of the people who just refuse to accept change. I do agree though that people on both sides need to calm down. There’s so much anger for nothing. If you’re going to get mad about something can’t you find something better to take your frustrations out on? Like is all the complaining about time shenanigans and slightly altered plot points really worth all the energy?

I agree, My People (oldies) are way too fucking precious about the original. Devs were in this rock and hard place of "don't change my thing but remake it and make it perfectly." Girl, what? It's not possible. Open your mind. Massage your ego a bit, take the nostalgia glasses off. YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON THIS. I just want to shake them!!

My husband was one of these types and we had HEATED arguments between 2015 and the release of Remake in 2020 about this very subject. I'm happy to say he's 100% reformed. LOL.

And if I sounded touchy, it's only because I'm old and tired. I actually avoid Reddits and tags about the game for the same reason you stated. I'm either going to see new fans confused and misinterpreting things or old assed fans who just won't accept any changes. Remake is a SEQUEL. It is literally Sephiroth trying to RE MAKE the events of the original so he can win. Everything that happens is inconsequential to the original game, so if they want their precious baby intact, it very much still is. And tbqh with you, the new fans are a lot more fun lmfao. Which honestly just makes me sad for my people because I'm like...guys, relax. You of all people should be enjoying this because of your knowledge of the Deep Lore. That's a layer of added interest, not something to get all babyish about.

As far as the original being SUPERIOR, ignore those fools. They're literally robbing themselves of a great experience over an apples and oranges argument.

Actually!! This happened wayyy back in the 90s, too. I got a lot of grief from people for loving the original so much. Back then it was mostly male Nintendo fans that I was surrounded by, so I was that sole bitch straight up defending Cloud's honor on the battlefield (the schoolyard). And then by the time I was in high school, all those guys had played FF7 and loved it.

They'll come around. Just laugh at them for now.

Watched Winwin's 保win箱 Ep 1-21

To be honest I don't love the English translation of 保win箱 -> cooler. I think 保win箱 is a play on 保溫箱 which would be a box that keeps something warm. While a cooler is a box that does keep things warm, the name "cooler" immediately brings to mind a box that keeps something cool first. The subtitles do sometimes call the show wincubator which I think is a nicer translation.

Ep 1 211224 (English) (Mandarin)

Lol I don't think he enjoyed decorating the tree a lot ^^;; Maybe tree arrangement is not his hobby of choice.

Ep 2 220201 (English) (Mandarin)

Yes, Winwin, you get a kids' kit lmfao.

His lantern was pretty cute with the tiger sticker! :3

We're finally getting chatty Sicheng though, where he just chatters on and on and somehow it's just really fun to listen to :P

Ep 3 220414 (English) (Mandarin)

Ahhh this one was cute! He's starting to be REALLY chatty.

The view is so lovely. I'm wondering if filming for the show is done in one go so he can stay at the hotel for a long period of time, or if it's done in intervals.

Aw, he bought books on stars to prepare for the show on stargazing :3

I actually have this show saved up! I'm going to watch it...eventually lol.

Ep 4 220603 (English) (Mandarin)

I love that the captioners are starting to clown Sicheng for just saying stuff.

Sicheng thinks Sichuanese is cute :3 I get why though, dialects are all a little cute imo.

He likes the sweets the most.

I just can't believe that someone like Sicheng exists lol, someone with that level of childlike wonder.

Ep 5 220702 (English) (Mandarin)

The way they edit this to make him look super talkative :P

Sicheng has mentioned that he's lived in Beijing for a long time. I'm guessing it's when he attended the dance academy for a number of years.

I think Sicheng is less of a scaredy cat than Jisung is lol. I think Sicheng gets nervous, but he still manages, whereas I think Jisung is like me and actually kind of has a fear of rides.

The pro 大爺 helping Sicheng with his kite.

Sicheng passing his string around the 大爺 so he they don't have to cross wires XD

Ep 6 220813 (English) (Mandarin)

I feel like this episode was just Sicheng's staff being like "hey there's a small arcade downstairs, let's go" and they turned it into an episode which is why it's super casual and low key.

I say this every time but CLAW MACHINES ARE A SCAM! 我才不玩啊!!!!!!

Ep 7 220910 (English) (Mandarin)

Ayyy Chef Dong has advanced to the next stage (cooking edible food).

No but for real I've never even cooked seafood on my own so he's better than me lmao.

Chenle would have something to say about those 番茄炒蛋.

Wait is that ketchup and mustard on salad TAT noooooo

I did some thinking as to why watching Sicheng do things is fun lmao. In his Korean content, I think we see the Sicheng that is clumsy and needs help. However, in his baowinxiang series so far, he's mostly gotten everything done (cooking, making the kite at Chaoyang park, the cutting crafts). Either he's grown up and can now figure things out, or his staff are giving him pointers lol. As the viewer, it looks like no matter how clumsy Sicheng is and no matter how many mistakes he makes, he gets the job done lol.

Ep 8 220924 (English) (Mandarin)

I think this was the first video that called baowinxiang "wincubator." Or maybe just the first episode I noticed.

He really just started playing with the kids.

Oh wow it was 10 PM and still so light outside.

The kid just gave Sicheng a gift XD

I'm reminded of when Sicheng said he wanted to visit Xinjiang with the WayVs because it was a beautiful place.

Sicheng had learned some Xinjiang dance before at the academy :o I mentioned this elsewhere but as I get more into Winwin's Chinese stuff I hope we hear more about his background and education. Obviously it was a big part of his life up until he went to Korea. And Chinese audiences have context for his schooling so maybe it'll encourage him to be more open about his experiences.

This happened in an earlier episode too but I love when the editors use the Doraemon sound effects.

LMAO all the neighbourhood kids came to watch Sicheng buy bread. The kids are so 乖 T_T

On the topic of kids, I think Sicheng talks to kids in a very open manner like they're little friends and that's why they feel comfortable with him.

Ep 9 221013 (English) (Mandarin)

Sicheng in the Hogwarts robe reminds me of when he went to Japan's Universal studios with 127 in NCT Life

The very grown up minions cross body car toy

Omg Sicheng is an uncle to two kids!! *o*

Sicheng approaches obstacles and challenges with such confidence regardless of whether he actually thinks he can do it haha.

Posing next to the Kung Fu Panda characters :3

Sicheng babbling spells ^^;;

The staff edited the jumping teleportation special effects lol

Ep 10 221114 (English) (Mandarin)

I love that his editors/staff call him out on his bullshit in the editing every time he says that he's good at something XD

The staff laughing at Sicheng's whoopsie. Now I'm more sure that all this time, his staff have been giving him pointers and he's still the same clumsy guy lol.

Ep 11 221215 (English) (Mandarin)

He just never stopped dabbing.

He's drinking his americano from last episode so I guess they filmed episodes 10 and 11 together :P

The fact that Sicheng is playing with a staff member - it feels like Sicheng is the kid being entertained and the staff are just babysitting him XD

Staff member scolding Sicheng for ringing the bell even though he hadn't even built the face yet.

Aww the mini claw machine as the prize for Sicheng :3 But like...he really is so childlike in his enthusiasm for things ToT

Sicheng leaning over the line to stick the dart onto the lamborghini reminds me of the NCT Life season with 127 where they had to toss the ring onto a target and Sicheng basically did that lol.

Ep 12 230111 (English) (Mandarin)

Why he gotta do 經紀人哥哥 dirty like that on camera lmao

Sicheng's incorrect use of 兒化 being pointed out!!!!! :P

Ep 13 230204 (English) (Mandarin)

Half-wearing his hoodie while practising

The way Sicheng extends his arms is always so distinct. Coming from a person who knows nothing about dance, that's the only way I know how to describe it ^^;;

Practising eye contact

Gahhh yeah I love the dances that draw on his dance background. Performances that take into account poses as opposed to hip hop which is more about the movement.

Ooh I'm actually surprised, I thought the performance was going to be mostly hip hop but it actually had quite a bit more of the slower dance :3 It really was choreographed for him

His jacket says "MTHR'S FTHR"

Ep 14 230301 (English) (Mandarin)

He started off this episode so loud XD

Didn't Yibo also do a lego motorcycle video lmao

Oh? Winwin said that last time a lego only took him an hour to assemble. That reminds me though, when NCT had that 24 hour relay, apparently there were a lot of puzzle and craft sets at the WayV dorm so maybe Sicheng is one of the members who normally seeks out that kind of entertainment.

Can't get the box open.

Oh wait I forgot that this boy loves to talk big XD So all that talk about him doing his last lego in an hour was probably him 吹牛 lmao.

Trying erhua again!!!

LMAO he just says LET'S WINWIN and things will be okay

NO Sicheng you cheated me, I was supposed to watch you build the entire motorcycle you liar XD

Ep 15 230315 (English) (Mandarin)

Paris!!!!!

The sun came out for you, buddy :')

Paris, the city of impromptu photoshoots.

YEAH! Model Winwin!!!!

Kyaaa Sicheng carrying the cute little bags <3 <3

Lol first it was noodles and then now he's having bibimbap in Paris.

The camera's filming him with this nostalgic foggy looking filter now

Aww TAT the dogs invading his photoshoot

Winwin is soooo cute. We all knew that but he's extra adorable in these wincubator videos ;_;

Ep 16 230510 (English) (Mandarin)

More Travelwin

Sicheng babbling ToT

I'm watching this while hungry ToT

Petting doggo on the street. The dog doesn't get rattled at all being pet by strangers, wow.

Sicheng skipping in the streets ToT

LMAO the kid couldn't figure out the ride at the marine museum so Sicheng helped him and then ended up playing for a while before handing it back to the kid.

NO what the exhibit for the actual animals is closed ToT Cheated again.

Ep 17 230622 (English) (Mandarin)

I quite appreciate that these videos are pretty bite sized. The thing about the videos that NCT releases on their own Youtube channel is that they're generally 20-30 minutes long so I always have to set aside time to watch them like a TV show lol. I guess it's because these videos were released on Weibo (?) which is more social media rather than a video hosting website. Winwin does have those longer videos too though.

亂世巨星 as the background music ^^;; but he is a 乖小羊 who wears his life jacket :3

Yeah I was just gonna say the hanging lights feel a bit like Avatar XD

Snooping on the couple lol

It amuses me that even the editors portray Sicheng as a kid/baby X'D

Ep 18 230714 (English) (Mandarin)

Improper use of erhua right off the bat lol

The choke hold that hot pot has on every Chinese man. I won't be fooled though! (I'm on the "hot pot is whatever" boat lol)

He really likes shrimp a lot eh. I think in episode 12, of his top three favourite hot pot dishes he'd chosen 2 shrimp dishes.

Winwin has registered as a puppy boy. He is a member of the WayV dog dorm after all. (But I still think he leans more kitty than puppy :P)

Boy blanked out at being asked his most romantic experience XD Good save I guess.

Sicheng went to a Mayday concert :3

Oh wow the concert was at an open air stadium? Wow.

"You prepared so many questions, are you tired?" :P

Ep 19 230830 (English) (Mandarin)

Winwin in the red shorts-suit Valentino outfit!!

Wake up call ToT

Shaving in the morning ^^;; This feels pretty intimate though, doesn't it? Either the staff member is close with Sicheng, or Sicheng has just gotten used to being filmed all day every day.

More Winwin-babble ToT

Playing with the mirror

Winwin shaky cam

Sicheng socializing at the gala :3 Go forth and make friends my little birdie

Ep 20 230930 (English) (Mandarin)

The expert was telling Sicheng that he could use the rose as a hairpin and he instinctively wanted to stick it in his own hair :3 Give Sicheng more hair accessories please :3

Sicheng GASPED at the butterfly ring

Sicheng: If I don't start, then I haven't failed

As a handicrafts lover, this is super cool. Sicheng is taking this pretty slowly so it's easy to follow too.

Ahh the butterfly is so pretty

Every time someone tries to console Sicheng he's like you don't have to say that ToT

Nooo he kept touching the ring when it was still hot x.x

For someone who boasts so much, Sicheng was hesitant to admit he had a talent for glasswork haha.

Ep 21 231103 (English) (Mandarin)

Staff flew over to Seoul to meet Sicheng since he was busy with WayV album prep :3

The hairstylist fluffing up Sicheng's hair

DOGS! TWO OF THEM!

Sicheng's so chatty about his memories in Seoul :3

The way Sicheng slows down when he's thinking of the Mandarin translation of a Korean place or food

He wants to take his Chinese staff for a meal :3

I know he's addressing the camera, but I feel like Sicheng is excited to show his staff Seoul.

Staff asked him if that kind of life (going to and from practice every day) was tough and he said no. It reminds me of that video that one of his old classmates at the dance academy made, where he said that Sicheng's the kind of guy to keep his worries inside and show a happy face to others T_T I don't think Sicheng is lying though, I think he's just the kind of guy who prefers to take away the positives from his experiences.

Always comes back to puppies and kitties for him :P

He likes keeping busy so the bad thoughts don't come and bother him ToT

Sicheng quoting Yan Yue? lol

乾杯 :3

-Mod Souda

Nagito Komaeda

❤ As a werewolf he considers it one of the side effects of his bad luck.

❤ Another wave of his bad luck is you finding out.

❤ But once it settles and there's no "uh oh" anymore he doesn't find it too worrisome.

❤ What he is worried about, however, is accidentally hurting you. Even though he is conscious in his form, there is still the chance that something bad would happen.

❤ It keeps him up at night (lol). It makes him fearful.

❤ But he is still in a very puppy mindset when he turns. He will both want to be away from you and also be near him.

❤ He wants your pets (and he wants your pets when he's a human, too).

❤ He probably has a hella thick coat and sheds everywhere.

❤ Also he will literally just scare off anyone you want - he thinks it's funny.

❤ ^ Will do it whether you ask him or not.

❤ I think Komaeda as a werewolf would be more prone to letting you touch him and hang around him and stuff as a human once you figure it out (which with his luck, might be when he's simply crushing on you). He usually pushes people he likes away in order not to scare them.

❤ He would probably be weak as a werewolf anyone - thin? Just like how he's thin as a human.

❤ His howl would be breathy lmfao.

❤ He gets hurt a lot but it heals quickly.

❤ Likes to smell you. In wolf form he will just stick his nose in laundry and sniff your scent.

❤ His tail wags whenever he sees you or smells you.

❤ It'll be very cute because when you're behind a door in another room he will nudge the door open with his nose and just sit there with his nose sticking out between the door and the door frame waiting for you to notice and let him in (he's polite).

.

Chiaki Nanami

❤ She will crawl onto your lap and sleep as if she isn't like three times your weight.

❤ Seriously though on a full moon she converts and then most likely just sleeps through it if she isn't going to catch herself some food.

❤ I find that she probably definitely minds having to eat those lesser than her.

❤ ^ I don't think she'd be excited to do so.

❤ Might think of it as a video game - she gets to play a werewolf character! How fun.

❤ Sometimes when she's human she will casually talk about some of the misconceptions in video games of werewolves, and then just shrug and change the topic.

❤ She is so beautiful as a wolf - having such a pretty coat and bright eyes.

❤ She doesn't run around much, doesn't get zoomies or anything cute.

❤ She is just nice and polite as she sits around.

❤ Just watches. Keeps her eye on you. It's simple.

❤ Likes head scratches though, that will make her leg kick.

❤ She also probably doesn't howl - very quiet noises.

❤ As a human, she rubs her head against you a lot just like a wolf does.

❤ She probably licks you without realizing it's weird (she doesn't interact with other people much).

❤ Prances around and spins. She can dance as a wolf.

❤ Tail wagging = very easy to achieve. Just look at her and her tail will start wagging.

.

Shuichi Saihara

❤ He is very nervous - very nervous to let you touch him or ride him or anything.

❤ He's a lot smaller than the other werewolves.

❤ Has a better sense of when you're not okay, or when danger is near.

❤ Being a detective means he can kinda recognize danger, but with wolf senses he is also on edge.

❤ Is concerned for you so he sniffs you to make sure you're not getting sick.

❤ A dark wolf - very dark with light eyes, too.

❤ He is very polite when it comes to hunting too. He kills the animal immediately and walks away to make sure you're not around to watch him eat.

❤ When he gets flustered he'll lower his head.

❤ He probably gets fleas lmfao.

❤ He doesn't like it when you get too close to him. He has sharp teeth and claws, and he doesn't want you to touch them. He doesn't want you to see the details in his fur or the thick saliva in his mouth.

❤ ^ He'd rather you be close to him when he's a human.

❤ The werewolf side is something he doesn't consider apart of him - it's another version of him.

❤ Overall, he's just like thank god they love me even though I'm a werewolf.

❤ Omg literally just think about how the werewolf stuff would help his investigations come on.

❤ "Mr. Saihara, how did you track the criminal just from their smell?"

❤ "Don't... worry about it..."

.

Hajime Hinata

❤ Growls a lot. He grows at other animals, at food, at you, at nothing - he is always growling.

❤ I think he'd be in the newspaper more than like any of these other characters.

❤ Kicks people.

❤ Sorry I think he'd be an asshole wolf lmfao.

❤ Rolls around in the dirt.

❤ When he hunts he brings the dead animal into your house and eats on your floor.

❤ Stands on two legs to try and intimidate you.

❤ He likes hopping on your bed while you're sleeping and curling you next to you. Sure this causes hair to go everywhere, but he'll help you clean it up when he's human again. As long as he gets to be near you then he doesn't matter how annoying it'll be later.

❤ ^ Especially with his dirt covered body. He don't give a shit when he's a werewolf. "I'll deal with it later."

❤ He thinks you're the most dear person on the planet for accepting him for being a monster. He's always wanted to be someone unique and special, but now that he is, he is concerned that nobody would want to be with him because of it. As a monster, he won't be praised or worshipped. He'd be feared.

❤ ^ Which is why he makes sure to constantly make sure you understand how much he adores you.

❤ He is very big as a wolf - very intimidating and he knows it. He would feel awkward if you were genuinely scared of him, though. It would hurt his feelings a lot.

❤ OH MY GOD he probably does that funny dog thing where they do the side glance LMFAO.

❤ Barks and it's really loud and scares the shit out of you.

❤ Will probably bark just to scare you.

❤ Sorry werewolf hajime is chaotic neutral to me.

[dejwrites]

I have some for you, Dej! Since it's been on my mind lately: we have Sugar Daddies a lot, but how about some HCs about our lovely guys getting into a relationship with a richer S/O and effectively being their S/O's Sugar Baby? And my pics are Toji (ofc), Getou (ofc) Aomine (girl I haven't even watch KNB yet but mans is fine 😩) and Osamu (cause I wanna help my boy open up his restaurant 🥺). Ofc you can pick or choose from those guys, or add whoever you'd like!

in which they have sugar mommas/daddies

( &. lmfao omg not reader being a sugar mommas/daddies. i set all of these in modern timelines. a little nsfw, a little fluff, a little humor)

— TOJI

feel like toji would be very hesitant on even letting you splurge on him. he'll talk about how he doesn't want anything, but his face literally lights up when you give him gifts.

literally doesn't care if he gotta give up sugar. please, he'll be the one to start the steamy sex session between you two.

when it's time to give up sugar, toji is quick to make sure he pay back what you brought him (even though you tell him you don't care for him to pay you back) using his mouth and dick. so obviously the sex is amazing with this man.

gets a lil jealous when you buy stuff for megumi. like, are you megumi's sugar momma or his? but it's like that's his son, so if you see something in the store that remind you of megumi..you going buy it.

"trying to go to bora bora tomorrow?"

"[y/n], it's 4 in the morning and megumi have school."

— GETO

this man literally is the cockiest sugar baby ever. like he gloats about it in his group chat, social media, and the list goes on.

such a gentlemen towards you though and it's not because you brought him that gucci button down he had bookmarked on his laptop.

sex with geto literally is amazing. it's as if he puts his all in each thrust inside you.

bragging to gojo about how he has a sugar momma >>>>

"do you want another sugar baby? my best friend is pretty attractive also."

"geto, you already invited him on our trip. what more do you want from me?"

— OSAMU

quiet sugar baby!

literally hardly ever asks you for stuff, but you still find a way to spoil him. there are times where he forgets to pick up his weekly allowance...so you just put it aside in a different account for his restaurant.

not even sure how he got into the sugar baby world anyway. if he recalls he had a one-night stand with you and when mentioned to his friends, they're all like "oh you mean [y/n] [l/n]. they own this huge company."

feel like due to him being a quiet sugar baby, he's very submissive in the bedroom. i feel like his little soft moans would be so adorable.

when he does realize that he has someone in his life that actually cares about him and spoils him, he becomes much more open ! like he's walking into your office without an appointment. he's close with your assistant ! the list goes on.

Friend's Don't Lie Ch. 3 & 4

Pairing: Jungwon x reader

Warnings for this chapter: Jay trying to smoke lmfao, swearing

Word count: 2.6k

Based on: Stranger Things

Jungwon

“No fucking way.” Jay shakes his head. “I swear she did it!” Jungwon voices. “You know him right? Sunoo?”

You nod.

“This is insane. How would she know him?” Jay scoffs.

“Have an open mind.” Jake says.

“How can we trust her?” Jay argues.

“Why not?” Jungwon says.

“No, she’s crazy.” Jay climbs up the stairs and opens the door to leave but it slams in his face. “What the fuck.” he opens it again just for it to shut again.

They turn to look at you.

“No.”

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

“I’m telling you, she’s a psycho.” Jay sighs.

“No she’s not, she has super powers.” Jake sits next to her and she smiles.

“So where’s Sunoo?” Jay asks and you look away. “See? She doesn’t know.”

Then, you stand up and walk over to the table where the Dungeons and Dragons game lays. They’re eyes widen. You pull the board out and flip it upside down so that the board is just black.

You point at the board. “He's here.”

“What do you mean?” Jungwon asks.

“He’s here.” you point again.

“No he’s not.” Jay groans. “Sunoo’s been kidnapped.”

“No he hasn’t,” Jungwon sends him a stern look. “Something fucked up has happened. I can feel it.”

Jay scoffs. “What are you? Psychic?”

“Shut up,” Jungwon rolls his eyes. “Things have just been… off ever since that night.” “So what does this mean?” Jake comes up to the table. “She just flipped the board upside down.”

“Upside down.” you pick up the wizard character, Sunoos character, and place it on the board.

“Shit,” Jungwon says. “Is that where he is?”

“This is kind of crazy.” Sunghoon chuckles.

“Kind of?” Jay exclaims.

“Listen, they obviously have some kind of connection. She recognized him in the picture and she knows who he plays.”

“So what’s he doing in there?” Jake furrows his brow.

“Hiding.” you say quietly. Jungwon can tell that you’re scared.

“From what?”

You pull the demogorgon out of the box and slam it onto the board.

Jungwon makes eye contact with Jake.

“What. The fuck.” Niki says.

“What- what does that mean?” Jungwon looks at her.

“Monster.” you say quietly.

“Monster?” Jay bleats. “What are we in Alien now?”

“You don’t understand.” you say. “The world is more than you know.”

That silences Jay pretty quickly.

“So you know where he is.” Jungwon confirms and she nods. “Can you take us there tomorrow after school?”

“After school?” you tilt your head.

“Yeah, at three fifteen.” he says.

“Three fifteen.”

“Mhm, here,” he takes his digital watch off and fastens it onto your wrist. “When it says three one five, come meet us out by the power lines.”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Okay, don’t forget, three fifteen.” Jungwon tells you the next morning.

You nod but you seem blue. Your eyes are duller than usual.

“You okay?” he asks and you shrug. He sits in front of your fort.

“Jungwon-ah! Time to go!” Mrs. Yang calls out.

“One second!” he yelps. “What’s up?”

You hesitate. “I don’t like being alone.”

“I know, being alone is boring, but I can’t stay here again, I’ll get in trouble.” he sympathizes.

“Will they hurt you?” you ask, worried.

“My parents?” he cocks his head and you nod. “No no, they won’t hurt me, they'll just be upset.”

You nod and look down.

“I’ll be back soon though, just stay put until my parents go to work, okay?” he reaches to grab your hand and you flinch. “Shit, sorry.”

You shake your head. “It’s okay. I’m just not used to it.”

He smiles at you. “See you soon El, don’t forget, three fifteen.” he says as he walks up the stairs.

El

Everything is strange. The carpet feels weird on your feet. You’ve only ever walked on cold tiles.

You venture up to his room.

His room is dark and lived in. There are science fair trophies on his dresser and the walls are covered in band posters.

You touch one of them.

“The Cure. Boys Don’t Cry.” you say softly.

He has a bookshelf full of cassettes tapes and novels with the spines peeling off. There’s a couple baskets of vinyls on the floor and you squat to look at them.

You read them all outloud. “New Order, The Police, The Human League, Black Flag, Duran Duran, Devo, Misfits.”

You don't know what they are. You remind yourself to ask when you see him again.

You climb under his covers and snuggle into his pillow.

You notice that he still has a stuffed animal on his bed and you smile.

Jungwon

He finds you standing tensely by the powerlines. Your arms crossed and your shoulders hiked up.

“El!” he jogs up to you. “You okay?”

You smile a small smile and nod.

“You ready to take us there?” he asks.

“Yes.”

You hop into the Camaro and tell him every time he needs to take a turn until they arrive at their destination.

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

“Are you serious?” Jay scoffs.

You had brought them to Sunoo’s house.

“What?” Jungwon says to himself. “He’s not here, El.”

“See? She’s a liar.” Jay groans.

“I’m not a liar.” you say.

“This doesn’t make any sense.” Sunghoon sighs.

“You don’t understand.” you grumble.

“Then help us understand!” Jay says, agitated.

You shake your head in annoyance.

You all slump into your chairs when the blaring of sirens catch your attention.

You all twist to check out what’s going on. It’s a dozen police cars driving at the speed of light.

Jungwon puts the car into drive and follows them.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

CHAPTER 4

Jungwon

He can’t believe his eyes. He feels his knees buckle as Sunoo’s limp body is pulled out of the water.

He doesn’t remember anything that happened that night except the way he screamed at you.

“You liar! You fucking liar! I trusted you!”

Words couldn't explain how he felt. He felt cold but there was a fire building up in him. He’d never been that angry in his life.

El

He doesn’t understand. That body is fake. Sunoo is breathing. You can feel it.

Jungwon

You try to sit next to him on the basement couch but he scoots away.

“Jungwon,” you say but he ignores you. “Won.” that gets his attention. “I am not lying to you.”

“You keep saying that,” he groans. “You expect me to believe you? I saw him with my own two eyes.”

You shake your head. “It’s fake.”

He scoffs.

“I’m not lying.”

“I’ve had enough of this-” he stands up to leave but you grab his hand.

“Jungwon, please listen to me.” you pull him back down to sit.

You reach to the table and grab his walkie talkie. Your eyes shut and the basement light flickers.

Jungwon’s about to get up to leave again when he hears static, and Sunoo’s soft voice.

“Darling you got to let me know,” Sunoo sings, as quiet as ever. “Should I stay or should I go?”

Jungwon’s jaw nearly drops.

“If you say that you are mine, I’ll be here ‘till the end of time-” his singing is cut short.

You look at him, waiting for a response.

“Was that?” he looks at you, dumbfounded.

“Sunoo.” you nod.

“How’d you..?”

“Friends don’t lie.”

He pauses for a moment to process everything that just happened, then his head drops. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” you say and he shakes his head.

“No it’s not. I shouldn’t have yelled at you last night. I’ve been so rude.” he looks up at you for a second just to look away again.

You pick up his chin and his eyes widen.

“It’s okay. People make mistakes.” you say and he smiles.

El

You want to hug him, but you’re not sure how to. He looks so small right now. He looks like he needs a hug.

Jungwon

You hold onto his hand for a quick second and his heart leaps into his throat.

“What’s wrong?” you say and he looks up at you.

“What?”

“Your cheeks.” she points. “They’re red. Are you angry?”

He touches his cheek. “No, no, I’m just…” he giggles. “No, I'm not angry.”

“Your ears too.” you point and he grabs at his ears.

“I-it’s nothing.” he stutters and you shrug.

“I wanted to ask you something.” you say and he nods. “What are those things in the boxes on your bedroom floor?”

He ponders for a moment. “Oh, my vinyls?”

You shrug. “What's a vinyl?”

Has she never listened to music? He wonders.

“They’re like these discs that you put onto a player and they play music.” he explains.

You furrow your brow but nod.

“Maybe we can play them sometime when my parents aren’t around.” he smiles.

“And the papers on the wall, The Cure, Boys Don’t Cry.”

He sighs and grins. “The Cure, they’re the greatest band ever. You have to listen to them, they’ll change your life.” He begins to drum on the air and sing a tune. “I would say I’m sorry if I thought that it would change your mind, but I know that this time I have said too much been too unkind.”

“Pretty.” you say and he looks down, blushing again.

A moment passes before he speaks up again. “I have an idea.”

┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

“How are we gonna sneak her in?” Jake asks. “She doesn’t have any normal clothes.”

“She can borrow some from Jooyoung noona.” Jungwon says.

“She’ll fucking kill you if she finds out.” Jay says.

“I know, so none of you say a peep.” Jungwon orders.

“It’s kind of funny watching her beat you up to be honest.” Niki chuckles and Jungwon glares at him.

“Remember the time she gave him a swirly.” Sunghoon chimes and the whole group breaks out into laughter.

“Yeah I remember, I almost died.” Jungwon sneers.

“Honestly I wouldn't mind if she gave me a swirly if her tits were pressed up on my back like that.” Jay jokes and Jungwon pounces on him. “I’m kidding, I’m kidding!”

“Don’t fucking talk about her like that man.” Jungwon huffs and rakes a hand through his hair.

“Is it so wrong to say your sister is hot?” Niki holds back a laugh.

“You wanna be next?” Jungwon raises an eyebrow and Niki playfully gallops away.

“You guys are weird.” you say quietly and Sunghoon nods in agreement.

“You’re all getting off track, how are we gonna sneak her into our classes?” Jake finds comfort in your fort.

“Do you think we can say she’s a new student?” Niki suggests.

“No, no one can know about her.” Jungwon says.

“Why not?” Jay asks and lights a cigarette.

“Dude, what’d I tell you about fucking smoking?” Jungwon groans.

“Just light an incense.” Jay says and Jungwon grabs the cig.

“My mom’s not an idiot.”

“Maybe we can just get her in during lunch.” Niki suggests.

“How is she gonna get on campus?” Jake asks.

“She can hop the fence and meet us by the gym, no ones there during lunch.” Sunghoon says.

Jungwon turns to look at you. “Do you think you can jump a fence?”

You stare back at him. “I’ve never tried.”

“We can meet her at the fence and then help her over.” Jay says.

“Wait, how’s she even gonna get to the school, it’s not like she can drive.” Niki says.

“Fuck you’re right.” Jungwon sighs. “Do you think you can bike there?”

You shrug.

“Of course she can’t, she can barely talk properly.” Jay grumbles.

“Stop being a fucking dick head.” Jungwon snaps.

“Okay bitchy Betty.” Jay jokes.

“Maybe I can just give you biking lessons tonight?” Jungwon turns to you. “What do you think?”

“Okay.” you say and he smiles.

El

“Here, hop on,” he holds the bike steady for you. It’s late at night and it's so cold that clouds puff out of your mouths every time you talk.

You hesitate. “What if I fall?”

“You won’t, I’m holding on tight.” he assures you.

You grab the handles and try your best to get on. You wobble and let out a small squeak.

“This is scary.” you say to him and he chuckles.

“It’s scary at first, but you’ll get it soon.” he says.

He gives you a moment to regain your balance. The moon is shining bright in his backyard and it’s illuminating his face.

“Ready to peddle?” he says and you shake your head. “Come on, it’s easier than you think.”

“Fine.” you mumble.

He holds on the back of the seat and one handle as you slowly push forward.

“I’m gonna fall!” you yelp.

“No you’re not, look how good you’re doing.” he says as you pick up speed.

And soon, he’s jogging to keep up to you. You don’t even notice that he took his hands off the bike until he points it out.

“Let’s leave the backyard,” he says and points to the gate. “Go through there.”

You follow suit.

Riding the bike is invigorating. The wind is cold and crisp against your skin. You’ve never felt anything like this before.

Eventually you look back; you see Jungwon jogging after you, his smile as bright as ever. You smile back so big that it almost hurts your face.

You let your leg down to stop yourself. He catches up to you.

“That was awesome.” he says, a little out of breath.

You giggle and his eyes widen.

“What?” you ask.

“I’ve never heard you laugh before.” he says and you look away sheepishly.

You’re all alone on this dark road and the only source of light is the moon. The scene would be eerie if Jungwon wasn't there with you.

“Well, now you know how to ride a bike,” he says. “Do you think you can make it all the way to school?”

“I think so,” you nod and he nods back.

A moment of silence passes before he speaks again.

“So how’s the fort? Is it too small?”

“Only a little, I like it though.” you reply.

“I wish I could build you your own room or something,” he says. “You could sleep on the basement couch but that’d be pretty risky.”

“What about your room?” you ask cluelessly.

“My room?” his eyes widen. His eyes are already so big and when he widens them they basically take up half of his face.

“Why can’t I sleep in your room?” you say blatantly.

“Uhm, I guess you could. That’s kind of risky don’t you think?” he says and you shrug.

You rub your arms from the cold.

“Let’s go inside,” he nods to his house. “It’s freezing.”

Jungwon

You both sneak back into the basement and he waits for you to wash up in the bathroom. He sticks his hand through the door and gives you a fresh set of clothes. Today it’s plaid pajama pants and a sweatshirt.

“Do you ever get bored here?” he asks as you change.

“Not really,” you say.

“What do you do when I’m gone?”

“I go to your room and look around.” you say and he goes beet red.

“What do you look at?” he asks, suddenly embarrassed. It's not like he had anything to hide, but the thought of you being in there makes him feel like he should’ve cleaned up or something.

“Everything,” you pull the sweatshirt over your head and exit the bathroom. “Is that bad? I’ll stop if you want.”

“No, it's fine,” he says. “I wish we could hang out more.”

You nod and scoot into your fort.

“Winter break is soon, I’ll be able to see you more then.”

“Winter break?”

“It’s this three week vacation all kids get during the winter.” he explains and you nod.

“Well, goodnight El.” he says while walking to the stairs.

"Wait," you run up to him and he whips around to look at you. You gently wrap your arms around his neck. "Thank you for tonight. It was very fun."

He stands there for a moment, too shocked to move. But he quickly snaps back to reality and rests his arms around your waist.

"Yeah, uhm, no problem." he says, trying his hardest not to sound shaky.

Your cheek feels smooth against his neck. There's this foreign electricity racing through his veins and it just makes him want to hold you tighter against him.

You pull away (to his disappointment) and smile before walking back to your fort.

He watches you get comfortable before heading up the stairs. He knows he won't be getting any sleep tonight. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈

danny phantom season 2, eps 1-5 thoughts! opening the new season with episodes like these kinda blew me away. we had multiple serious episodes INCLUDING a two parter!! also, valerie :)

see prev episode thoughts in this tag <3

-I don't know what I expected s2 to open with. but danny portal incident in more detail was not it. (also, I hate to break it to you, sam, but danny's parent's bigass ghost hunting rv def chugs more gas than those vehicles, lmao. unless it runs on ectoplasm or something...)

-WHY WAS DESIREE IN THE SEWER? HAVING TEA WITH IT DOWN THERE?? Her making the giant cow come alive is a boss move, we've almost had all of my fav animals as ghosts now <3 I also don't like how sam was expecting danny to just, haunt the place so the cars wouldn't get sold? I KNOWWW I know she's 14 (and I had a very annoying phase like this, I think I mentioned in a previous post, I GET IT) but they're HIS powers, and messing with (1) dealership will not really put a dent in sales overall because they can just move the cars to another sales lot, and it certainly wont change the industry anyway, it's more of a minor annoyance for (1) location. Also, usually people who work at car sales places work on commission, so if they dont make a sale, they don't have money to pay bills, or eat. sam baby if u wanna be an activist you need to like, actually look into these things. with as much money as her parents have, she could be doing a lot..more useful things for causes she cares about? it's frustrating to see someone with resources who doesn't know how to use them. but shes 14 so again. cannot be really upset :/

-IS THIS A PREDATOR VS TERMINATOR VS FREDDY KRUEGER MOVIE BUT THEYRE ALL WOMEN?? you know, sam is so right to be excited about this. /I/ want to see this movie. that rules

-paulina inviting danny and friends to her quinceañera, aw! even if it is just to get phantom to show up :') and there'll be a meteor shower, and we KNOW danny wants to be an astronaut!! there's not a meteor shower every night!! the tickets are non-refundable, but..she's rich? like. gotta agree with danny, they never get invited!! I KNOW it's the principle of keeping promises, but if she was that upset, she should've said something. directly. I hated how she was like, passive aggressive about it through the episode, like you SAID IT WAS FINE, THAT YOU'D GO TO THE PARTY TOO. MOVIES SHOW FOR A FEW WEEKS IN THEATERS. IF YOU HAD A REAL PROBLEM YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT. WE'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE, SAM. YOUR FRIENDS. ARE NOT. MIND READERS.

-MR. LANCER GOING AFTER THE GHOST WITH THE FIRE EXTINGISHER LMAO

-this outfit is everything . anytime the show does an over the top cutesty pink outfit i WANT IT. it looks like shit I wear JKASDHF I HAVE a bow like that and a pink sweater. I need leg warmers </3

-SAMS GOTTA RE-HALF-KILL HIM??? thats fucked up. but also, he finally got his logo!! it took until s2!!! this episode was lowkey very fucked and I felt like it glossed over a lot. does sam have guilt about like. kinda KILLING HIM?? I know, he also agreed and walked into the portal. but. she made the choice to redo it SO quickly (even if it was because someone had to beat desiree) and danny, during their fight, brought up a lot of stuff sam's done in the past, meaning he was holding onto those memories and resentment was building. (I KEEP SAYING HE LOWKEY NEEDS THERAPY, BUT I THINK MOST EVERYONE IN THIS SHOW KINDA DOES) which...is a red flag? and then they didnt even GO to the party URGH I know she tried to make up for it, but it really felt like Sam fucked up and barely faced any consequences and got everything she wanted in the end. I KNOW it's a kids show obv they aren't going to go too in depth, and she undid the damage, kinda, but...I DUNNO how to articulate it but it rubbed me the wrong way.

-but on a note about desiree, her powers of wishes were STRONG ENOUGH TO ERASE NOT JUST THEIR MEMORIES, BUT DANNY'S POWERS?! fuck, if I was danny I'd be like, trying to make friends with her. I know they always have horrible side effects as most genie-granted wishes do, but...c'mon, I'd at least TRY to be like 'I wish no ghosts would hurt anyone in my town' or 'I wish vlad would lose his ghost powers forever no matter What and also forget about my mom' LIKE. SHIT DESIREE IS SO POWERFUL. rewriting reality powerful, basically!! appreciate her. respect her.

-aww, sam helping tucker pass the nurse's office so he wouldn't see because he's afraid of medical stuff? very sweet. I also don't like medical stuff, I've gotten a lot better at handling it tho. but seeing blood and needles still makes me feel lightheaded x_x

-FOLEY, BY TUCKER FOLEY. I want to make my own perfume, that's so cool. even if his first attempt isn't good, he's pretty consistently shown to have an inventor/entrepreneur streak in the show, so like. I can see him inventing or making something (or several somethings) that make him $$$ when he grows up :) proud of my creative son

-I know the 'creepy abandoned hospital on the edge of town' is a joke and the creepy hospital trope is so Worn Out, but in my town we actually DO have a hospital like that! my dad was born in it, but its not in use and hasn't been for, like, 20 years! it needs to be torn down but I think the city doesn't wanna pay the money. the inside is horrible, spray painted and broken glass and shit everywhere. but there's still like, rusty equipment and fucking DOLLS all over the place. the cops drive by it pretty frequently to make sure no one is like, breaking in. (because of water damage, some of the areas really aren't safe. also, asbestos, but people still go in anyway) but also, some of my town was used in a filming for a stephen king show. So it's lowkey spooky all over. just a fun personal tidbit :) to lead into saying, any hospital abandoned for any period of time is NOT safe to quarantine these kids in JKSAHDKF like I KNOW it's a ghost trying to do this, but NONE of these parents are even like, 'well, why dont we keep them in the regular, working hospital'....YIKES. this hospital looks pretty accurate to the one in town. grungy and spooky.

-fentons are tax evaders confirmed by jack's fear of being audited, lol no one is surprised

-ghost sickness via ghost bugs. horrifying concept. I actually expected it to be a new villain, not dr. spectra again! this is a very elaborate scheme. her new form rules, love the new costume. the way none of the bg kids seem to recognize her as their old school councilor. did we just forget about that completely?

-dash watching romance movies in the fucked up ghost hospital. same.

-'oh please, you're ghosts, do you have any idea what YOU smell like?' no, tucker, what DO ghosts smell like? I genuinely didn't know they would even have a smell, I actually want to know now.

-it feels like a while since we've seen jazz!! i was happy to see her again, even if she was a head in a jar for most the episode. I want another jazz-focused ep!!

-we finally see danny doing space-related stuff!! him and his friends stargazing to open ep 3 of s2. cute :) until, GHOST PIRATES!!!!! ...ghost pirate captain is a small child?? VOICED BY TAYLOR LAUTNER???

-oh, the easy listening is ember's song instrumental slowed. 'vapor drone' THEY VAPORWAVED HER!!! ember in a pirate outfit tho >>>>. and the cruise being called m.bersback JKASDHJK. ember adopting a little pirate brother is also pretty cute. concerning this teen and little kid have such bad opinions of adults, like, who hurt you?? (how did you DIE ALSO?? im always lowkey curious about that. we know desiree died at an old age, but her ghost form is young, probably mid-20s, so I wonder how that sort of thing works...its a more mental thing, isn't it?) but ghost team-ups are always cool to see, even if ember bailed after danny took her guitar. I guess she probably thinks youngblood can handle it (which, he's been owning danny this far in the ep, so...fair)

-tucker got that sponsorship from nasty burger for their radio!!! again, opportunistic money maker king, love to see it!!!

-danny taking control of the kids SO FAST. he makes a pretty great leader. no one is surprised, im pretty sure I said I think he's the most mature of the trio, once again, correct, because he's taken on so much responsibility already. all the teens suiting up in the jumpsuits to go save the adults and taking the ship over with a BLIMP. OKAY LETS GO. this feels like it should be a mid finale or straight up finale.

-...speaking of finales. why is ep 4-5 of s2 combined into a 50 minute episode? I havent even clicked play and im concerned. weird placement, like, this season JUST started and we're getting a two parter? okay...why are the episodes placed like this? why not put this at episode 10 or something, for a mid-season thing?

-this is also a cute dress. possibly my fav dress so far. can her parents give ME cute dresses, I'LL wear them.

-it turns out the castle fright knight was in is called pariah's keep and there's something worse than fright knight in there! lovely! fuck off vlad wtf are you doing <3 your hubris <3 is going to literally get you killed <3 'ring of rage' and 'crown of fire' are great names tho. ...vlad turning into a super polite guy when he was scared of mr. pariah was hilarious. and fright knight doing the same...I mean, it makes sense, he's a knight, he serves a king? happy to see fright knight again either way :) vlad telling him to call him tho, lmfao. you WISH HE WOULD. (I wish hed call me, too. 😔)

-so...jack being genuinely concerned about vlad...maddie really didn't tell him what happened at the cabin, did she. damn. if I was her id immediately come home and be like 'YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS SHITTTT THIS CREEPY GUY--' like, I feel like that stuff you need to tell your partner!!! I know she didnt want Jack to think she was an irresponsible parent putting danny in danger at that time, but STILLLL. maddie spilling boiling tea on him. get his ass. how is jack this oblivious to his wife's discomfort with vlad!! ughhh

-fenton wipe (tm). trademarked toilet paper.

-DANNY AND VALERIE BEING FRIENDS??? :D that was a cute moment. 'hey val <3' and 'if you like him like him, make a move, or someone else will ;)' at sam...damn!! I love her. valerie go for it girl!!! I hate how sam and tucker treat val also, like I GET IT YOURE PROTECTIVE AND DONT TRUST but if anything him befriending valerie will help when she finds out or he tells her like I feel like she'll be more understanding that they think! ALSO I feel like her reason for not liking ghosts is valid, like you haven't really explained the full story to her anyway! she doesn't seem to have any other friends after being booted from the a-listers so im like :( but seeing them kick butt together again was nice <3

-the ghosts all RUNNING FROM PARIAH DARK IS NOT GOOD, I thought he sent them to attack or something, but no. why doesn't someone just tell desiree 'hey i wish pariah dark would die' lol. once again I think she can solve every problem <3 but seeing all the enemies in one place, being civil and hiding together? love it.

-you just know danny's gonna have to clean up vlad's stupid mess. also, jack being willing to put on the ectoskeleton pants to help maddie, as soon as vlad heard it could kill him, he suggested jack do it instead of helping maddie himself? this is why jack got the girl, my man.

-ghost skeletons. how do you end up as a skeleton ghost in your afterlife instead of a humanoid like most the ones we've seen? lmao

-the ghosts just making new homes in various stores. I'd totally be setting up in an expensive clothing store if I was a ghost.

-valerie's dad is possibly the most useful adult so far, with that ghost shield expansion!!! and valerie saving vlad and danny, even tho shes been thru it already, shes still so good!!! this family rules.

-danny: *gently caresses valerie* :)

-*then he immediately TELLS HER DAD ON HER. and his first response is 'are you okay?' :'( such a good dad...

-*me every time fright knight breathes* youre doing SO great sweetie :)

-the fenton suit thing is so silly looking. does anyone take this thing seriously

-ALL THE GHOSTS FIGHTING WITH DANNY <3 AAAAA. and the fact that pariah isn't perma-defeated, but just locked away again. yikes. he'll probably get out again, won't he? it wasn't too clear, but if vlad DID make a pact with fright knight, I am rabid. I will beat vlad to death with the fenton bat (tm). YOU DONT DESERVE A COOL KNIGHT.

-valerie being direct with sam and challenging her? kinda love that, even tho I normally don't like 'catfight' type situations. because sam has been very passive aggressive about it which is annoying. valerie knows wtf she wants and wasn't even embarrassed to tell sam, but she did tell her, giving sam time to make her own move! and sam denied it and got embarrassed/mad! and sam did have a chance when danny was about to go off and fight, and she hesitated and didn't tell him. I feel like she's hesitating because they're friends and it might make it weird between the trio (poor tucker would be third-wheeling) but if u snooze u lose, u gotta GO after what u WANT girl. smh this is a No Tsundere Zone. 😤

JAN 11TH, 12:32 AM

Eliott couldn’t sleep. It was officially anniversary day, their six month anniversary, and rather than sleeping peacefully in Lucas’ arms, he was watching the slow and steady rise and fall of his shoulders as he breathed. Hair was falling onto his forehead and his eyelashes were casting a shadow onto his cheekbones, thanks to the soft white light of the streetlights peeking through the curtains. To Eliott, he looked nothing short of ethereal, but he always thought that about Lucas.

His thoughts were the very reason why he couldn’t sleep, however. School was starting up in a matter of days, graduation was around the corner, and he was yet to hear back from any internships he applied to last week while at his parents’ house with Lucas. The pressures of life to come were hitting him so very hard, and the timing was just not good.

“Why do you think so loud?” Lucas mumbled in that usual sleepy voice, the one that made Eliott want to hold him forever and never let him go. He opened his eyes when Eliott took too long to give an answer, and that made Eliott smile.

“Why do you listen so hard?” he countered, and Lucas tsked at him, starting to smile back.

“You’re an ass.” He reached over and touched Eliott’s face then, thumbing over his cheekbone and his lips. “Pretty though. What’s on your mind, Lartigue?”

“Too much.”

“Talk to me. I got time.”

“Remember all those internships I applied to with you?” he asked. Lucas nodded. “Nothing back so far. Graduation is in a matter of months. My senior year is going to end and I’m probably going to be stuck at the video club if no one gets back to me. I don’t want to stock DVDs and check things in and out forever, I wanna create and live life as a true starving artist.”

“Eli,” he sighed, “you will get something, don’t stress.”

“What if I don’t?”

“Then...you’ll keep trying ‘til you do. And I’ll be with you every step of the way. Even if it takes years and we end up having to use twisty ties as wedding rings and live in your tiny college apartment forever, I’ll still support you and your dream. You deserve it, so.”

Eliott just smiled at him, feeling overwhelmed with the amount of love for the boy laying beside him. Lucas always seemed to know what to say to make him feel better and put a halt to the quick spiraling of his thoughts. His gaze was unwavering and his eyes were bright as he scooted closer to Eliott until they were basically nose to nose.

“I love you,” was all Eliott could think to say. Lucas’ face softened and he kissed Eliott’s nose, feeling like ‘I love you’ back wasn’t sufficient for what he felt for Eliott. Of course, six months didn’t seem like a long time, but to Lucas, it felt like a lifetime of loving Eliott. Of learning everything about him, including what he needs to hear in times like this. And he really did love him more than anything.

“I love you too. More than you know, Demaury. Let’s sleep, yeah?” Eliott nodded at that and Lucas turned over, Eliott snuggling close and pressing a kiss to Lucas’ shoulder.

“Twisty ties,” Eliott whispered, and Lucas simply closed his eyes.

“Shut up.”

•••••

JAN 11TH, 11:54 PM

“This tastes like fizzy glitter water, Eliott,” Lucas laughed, and Eliott laughed even harder, almost spilling his own glass of cheap champagne. They decided to save the drinks for home after spending the night out at dinner so they could come back to Eliott’s together, the rest of their night spent drunk on cheap champagne and wrapped up in each other.

“It is champagne, stop. Glittery because it’s...the shimmers of our love in it.”

“What are you even saying right now?” Lucas asked him, and he shrugged, downing the rest of his glass and pouring another.

“I don’t know, baby. But I do know this - I love you so fucking much, happy six months.”

“À ce soir,” Lucas said, smiling and holding up his glass. Eliott clinked his glass against Lucas’ and they sipped, smiling at each other like goons. Lucas felt warm and happier than ever honestly. Warm, happy, and so very in love.

About an hour after that, it was almost midnight. Lucas felt thoroughly blissed out after being loved on like he just was, still feeling phantom sensations on his hips, thighs, and face where Eliott grabbed on him the most. He shut his eyes for a second, feeling like he still was catching his breath, and he could feel Eliott staring at him without even looking to confirm.

“Why are you staring at me?” Lucas mumbled, and Eliott laughed, shifting next to him and putting his finger on what most likely was some kind of bruise starting to form along his jaw. The thought combined with his touch sent a chill down his spine.

“Because you’re beautiful.”

“You’re corny, be quiet now.”

Eliott chuckled as he shifted some more beside him, laying on his back, and they did indeed sit in a comfortable silence for a bit before either of them said anything.

“Let’s do this forever, Lu,” Eliott spoke quietly. “Maybe you should just move in with me, like...for real.”

Lucas opened his eyes at that, turning his head to find Eliott looking up at his ceiling, blinking slow. He searched his face for any sign of it being a joke at all or if he was going to continue saying anything else, but he didn’t.

“I’ll consider it. Okay?” Eliott started grinning at that and gave him a short nod.

“Okay.”

••••••

JAN 18TH, 6:52 AM

To say Eliott was nervous about today was an understatement. He didn’t have class for another three hours, and yet he couldn’t get himself to go back to sleep now that he was up. He decided to quietly and carefully slip away from Lucas, who was with him more often than not these days, and go take a long shower to just...think.

He’d been standing in the shower for quite some time, how long exactly he wasn’t sure. The plan was to stand here until it got cold or something and try to not look like he’s thinking about everything under the sun before he went back to Lucas in his room.

When he did make it back to his room, a towel around his waist, he saw that Lucas was actually gone. His side of the bed was made up and the only trace that he was even here was the fact that his drawer was slightly open and a t-shirt was half pulled out of it. That, and the note left on the bed, and Eliott grabbed for it as soon as he noticed it, beginning to read.

eli,

i had class at 9:05 and it’s day one, so i didn’t wanna be late. i’m sorry to just leave this note :( i love you though. i know the last few days have been a little hard for you, but take it easy today, okay? you’re brilliant and whatever needs to get done will get done. i know it. don’t stress. make that your mantra or something.

i made toast and eggs, both in the kitchen. eggs might be cold by the time you read this, but still better than the ‘UOD’ you made me way back when.

i love you, and good luck today. <3

-L

p.s. don't go looking for your brown jacket i stole it bc it’s cold <3

Eliott first looked to his closet, seeing that it was indeed open and a hanger was peeking out, as if he ripped the jacket off of it in his rush to go. The thought made Eliott smile, and he grabbed his phone before making his way to the kitchen to eat, his only thoughts now being how much he loved this boy and always would.

•••••••

JUNE 21ST, 4:33 PM

“Just need a height on Demaury and then we’re done,” Sof told them, filling in for Eliott’s wingspan on the cap and gown sheet.

Lucas had been going around him with a tape measure for the last 45 minutes, debating with Sof and Yann about numbers not sounding right. When Sofiane kept asking ‘well, whose best friend is this?’, Lucas always countered with ‘whose boyfriend is this?’ as if that made him more correct than anyone, and Eliott couldn’t help but smile. In the end, they got it done though, and Eliott was now holding the top of the tape measure for Lucas while he brought it to the floor, looking up at him once he got a measurement.

“What?” Eliott asked. “I was 181 centimeters last time I did this, did I shrink?”

“Nope. 183. A whole two centimeters taller.” Lucas stood back up and booped him on the nose, making him roll his eyes.

“Aw, he’s growing so big and strong, how cute,” Yann teased, and Sofiane laughed, shoving his shoulder and telling him to stop. Lucas wound the tape measure back up with the push of a button then, throwing it at Yann after.

“Can’t believe you losers are graduating next month,” Yann mentioned casually. Sofiane and Eliott looked at each other, seeming a bit sad about the idea, and Lucas gave Yann a look that screamed ‘fix it, now’. “But, you know, you guys will be great adults, obviously. You’re great,” he added hesitantly, “I’ll miss you guys.”

“Yann, just stop talking now,” Lucas sighed, making Sofiane laugh. Eliott just smiled, hugging Lucas from behind and pressing a kiss to his cheek.

“I’ll miss you too, Yann-y boy,” Sofiane teased, pinching his cheek. Yann pushed his hand away, mumbling about hating that Sof called him that.

“Me too,” Eliott agreed before looking at Lucas. “I’d say you too, but I see you all the time.”

“And that won’t change.”

“Ew, please don’t be gross in front of us,” Sofiane groaned, and Eliott started kissing his cheek repeatedly just to be annoying, making Lucas laugh as he accepted the love.

Lucas didn’t say it, but he was going to miss all of this too. And he couldn’t believe he only had not even a month left of this either.

••••••

•••••••

JULY 11TH, 8:46 PM

“Yours looks better than mine,” Lucas pouted, and Eliott looked at him unamused.

“Lucas, this is my degree.”

Lucas flicked paint off his paintbrush at him and Eliott flinched just a little, starting to laugh. They decided to spend the night in for their anniversary, following a Bob Ross tutorial on some of Eliott’s unused canvases together. Some candles were still burning from their candlelit Chinese takeout dinner they shared, and they were using Eliott’s TV to play the tutorial on. It was all fun and games until Lucas looked over and saw that Eliott’s was like a perfect replica of what was onscreen.

“This is my degree,” Lucas mocked, and Eliott gave him a look before pausing the video. Lucas started laughing and leaned over to press a kiss to his bare shoulder. He then looked at him, not saying anything.

“What now?” Eliott asked, feigning exasperation. Lucas dropped his paintbrush into their jar of water and turned to face him, hugging his knees to his chest. “Uh oh, am I in trouble?”

“Why would you be in trouble, no. I just. I considered.”

“Marriage or the moving thing?” Eliott teased, and Lucas smacked his arm gently.

“The moving thing, idiot. You’re not funny.”

“What’s the verdict, Lallemant?”

“I...guess you can call me your roommate. I’ll move in. The answer’s yes.”

Eliott got visibly excited and immediately got up in lieu of giving an actual response, walking away to his room, and Lucas was beyond confused.

“Eli?” he called out, “where are you going? This is the part where you shower me with kisses and you tell me we’re gonna bang on every surface to celebrate!”

“Wait, wait, wait!”

“That was a joke, Eliott.”

He came running back in and sat in front of Lucas once again, putting a small, maroon box in his hands. A spike of panic rose in Lucas, feeling like he knew what this was.

“Eliott, I love you, but I don’t know if I’m ready to be a husband yet…” he told him, his voice gentle. Eliott started laughing right in his face, and Lucas’ whole demeanor changed. “Fuck you, why are you laughing?”

“No, it’s not funny, baby, I’m sorry—“

“It’s not funny, yet you’re laughing at me.”

“No! Lucas, just. Open it, please.”

Lucas was giving him a dirty look as he opened the box, and when he saw what it was, his face softened again.

“This is...this is for here, isn’t it?”

“This is a key for here, yeah. I was gonna bring it up to you later and give it to you as your gift, but you just kind of beat me to it so I’m giving it to you now. If you want a custom one, I’ll get it for you if you hate it, but I just want you to have keys for what is now ours,” Eliott rambled. “Well, it’s always felt like ours to me, but—“

“Eliott,” Lucas interrupted, looking at him. Eliott took a deep breath and Lucas scooted closer to Eliott, kissing him just once before looking in his eyes. “I love you. It’s perfect, everything. Especially you. Thank you.”

“And I love you.”

[redxblueihateloveyou]

I only started watching SK8, so maybe it's a little too early for me talk, but after your last analysis and some of your past rants... there's also the fact that Reki and Langa have no chemistry AT ALL. Like, I've seen more chemistry in water alone! Sure, they're pretty much joined by the hip now, but I would be that way with my first random friend if I moved to another country at the other side of the world, like Langa did. And I get that it's already canon that Langa has a crush on Reki, but c'mon! These are teenagers, their hormones are all over the place 24/7. And it's obvious that Reki does not reciprocate. Even if he is into guys, he obviously doesn't see Langa as someone he is remotely attracted to.

I think my main issue with the ship so far is that their personalities do not click. Comparing them to RinHaru (because the parallels ARE right there), Rin is sassy, but also sensitive and easily embarrassed; Haru is aloof and stoic, but can be hella stubborn if you put him in the right situation. Those are some traits for an interesting dynamic, and they also have in common that they are passionate about what they love, and determinated. Reki and Langa are... not it.

Langa is sweet, calm, chill, and clueless about a whole lot of things (including feelings); Reki is friendly and cheerful and all, but he's also chill and clueless. The contrast is only superficial, where's the flavor?!

I don't know, at this point I'm shipping Miya and that ex-childhood friend of his better than Renga, even the pre-teens have more depth. I keep waiting something magical will happen that will make me like Renga better, because I see the IDEA they had for their relationship, I LIKE that idea, but the result has not been great. (So far.) (I'm keeping myself optimistic.)

Langa’s relationship with Reki remind me of a puppy and the owner one (and clearly the puppy is more attached lol), not the two boyfriends, who want to be in a relationships, and they definitely do not have any sexual chemistry. Like seriously ANY.

And yeah, I said the same, they might have gotten the Rinharu scenes, but they lack all the dynamic, the passion for each other, the mutual thirst to be with each other, and just all the greatest parts. 

To me comparing these is like comparing a burger to two plain buns. Like technically it fits, but the best part and all the sauce is missing. 

Besides what’s even to compare... it’s like Reki has eyes on a boat girl, when Langa is next to him. Rin and Haru have their eyes on each other only since they were 12. Rin writes about how he’s the most beautiful thing he ever seen in his school essays and tells his australian parents not about his swimming, but how pretty and cool he is. Haru just doesn’t react to anyone in that way. It’s like all he sees is Rin, but also the only one who excites him is also Rin.

And can you imagine Rin drooling over some girl while Haru is next to him? LMFAO. Or Haru when Rin is next to him? Like a pretty girl once told him how great his muscles are and he was like “ok thanks I guess”, but then he checks Rin out 24/7 saying how great his muscles are, how he’s jelly of his strong strokes and how his legs are amazing and strong. And they didn’t even notice that one time that there was no water in the pool while they were both staring at each other undressing... like....?

And true, like we don’t even know if Reki’s interested in men, it really doesn’t look like he is. If he were bi, he’d react to Langa or idk Cherry the same way he reacted to the boat girl, I mean, have you see them? And no, reacting to his skating is not the same. Literally every sports anime has smth like this, so let’s not. It’s like everyone thinks Haru’s swimming is oh so pretty, but only one keeps talking about how his eyes are worth drowning into lol.

I don’t see Reki reciprocating the romantic feelings, too, and even if he somehow will in these last 3 episodes, it’s certainly already just not my type of a ship. Cause I don’t see Langa being his everything. He’s just not. This ship is just not for me I guess. 

Right now to me it’s like... everything is wrong with the reused Rinharu scenes lmao. It’s like someone replaced my favorite fries with papier mache ones. I also like still keep my heart open for maybe.. just maybe something extraordinary will happen in the last episodes and everything will fall in the right place, but I do not have a scenario for this to get much better.

Rinharu are obsessed with each other 24/7, they dreamt to be together since childhood and were the only thing on each other’s mind since the day they met. No Rin, no Haru are interested in winning more than in swimming with each other, they were also longing and drooling for each other so much, that the whole city knew it from both sides. And even when they had a misunderstandings each time they see each other it’s explosive and you see how much they want to touch, stay, and they both look at each other like... ugh.

Rin saw Haru’s talent and it pushed him to become even greater, Reki saw Langa’s talent and wilted, etc. I just feel like comparing these to each other is just unfair. Esp Reki and Rin. Reki is a kid, Rin stopped being a kid when his dad died, he’s also way too focused on getting what he wants in life.

Rin and Haru’s relationships are adult’s stuff, they also knew they wanted each other from the beginning. I mean, Rin even transferred schools for Haru when he was like 12. Reki and Langa’s realtionship are like new school friends thingy. That’s just some of our scenes are there, but it’s like depths of these scenes are incomparable. 

Also these like immature middle-school “why I’m not as cool emotions”... I’m waaaaaaay passed this, that’s all.

Anyways, yeah, I’ve already thought this through and decided that maybe we better try and not compare them at all, otherwise it’s just gonna be a huge loss without giving them any chance. It’s still can be like as cute as that Stride ship, I mean, I was like “cute”, but then I do forget about it almost always tho so xD. To each their own.

i say that i do not have a type all of the time, but all of the people i have been attracted to and had a crush on were the wild, fun, and cute guys in my class. they also tend to be very kind and understanding as well. i am a sucker for people who smile often.

they would have to be accepting of all of my flaws and love me regardless, just like the way i would do the same for them if i love them as well. i am also extremely touch deprived haha, so i would honestly be over the moon if they don't mind hugs and physical affection.

hEY BABY

im back at it again with

JJBA (VA) Purge AU (3)

yeeee this is the one abt the relationship scenarios ;)))

part 1 | part 2

i highly recommend checking out the previous parts first, if not this might be kinda hard to follow

between me and my 1.5 braincells we're trying really hard y'all so pls go easy on us show some support ;_;

OKAY

(oh yea a heads-up no ships are decided yet so treat all these relationship scenarios as hcs (yea imma make AUs inside an AU lmfao))

tw: (1 mention of) homophobia, referenced past abuse, bullying (??)

1. fugio

the first scenario that popped into my head is that Fugo and Giorno go to the same university (for some reason Gio's parents can afford to send him there, idk he probably got financial aid or sth, and then after he killed them (😳 awkwardddd) he's probably using their life insurance in fear of it running out). and Fugo doesn't really care for Gio bc he's a rich boye and he has his quality™️ elite friend circle so why bother himself w a nobody. but in reality all of Fugo's friends are either only on a social level (u know those ppl who you're friends w but u won't necessarily have deep convos w them or choose to hang out w them n stuff), or they're fake and only hang out w him bc of his wealth & status, or bc their rich parents are friends. plus (im referring to the anime backstory here), after the scandal w that professor who sexually harassed him, many ppl secretly hate him and talk shit abt him behind his back due to homophobia.

but anyway, Fugo's plotting against all those biches :) so where does Giorno come in? Gio, being this innocent poor boy who doesn't have a home to go back to, lives on dorm. and let's just say Fugo does too bc he doesn't have the best relationship w his demanding parents, so he was overjoyed when he finally talked them into letting him move from home into the dorms instead. (side note he prolly doesn't Purge his parents bc he needs their money.) so Gio and Fugo know of each other, but not acquaintances or anything.

and then

one day when Fugo's either

running into trouble with some authority figure at school again

just minding his own business and planning his Purge targets

Gio walks in on him, and he's either like

"omg Fugo r u ok do u need help what happened"

"omg Fugo idk what happened between u and ur targets but Purging ain't good, pls reconsider"

and Fugo, having the short-ass fuse that he does (plus probably having his pride wounded and just general mistrust of the ppl around him spurring him on):

"stfu u know nothing about me, but now you've seen this i guess it wouldn't hurt to kill you too"

"stfu u know nothing about me, ur probably one of those happy asshats that have no need for Purges, reconsider?? haha the only thing i'll reconsider is if i'll add u to my kill list" (bc if Gio reports him or sth, Fugo & his fam can get into trouble, since his targets are probably rich and/or influential ppl, but it isn't Purge time yet, so it can be considered malicious intent and/or attempted murder i guess, and so anyone who has any beef w the Fugo fam can bring them down) (i know nothing abt law don't come for me)

and then Gio is like "fuck dis shit im out" and he skrts tf out of there, but sadly Fugo ain't lying 😔 the day of the Purge comes, and Giorno was just trying to barricade himself inside his dorm room when suddenly, Fugo pulls an FBI OPEN UP and breaks inside using all his high-tech weaponry n stuff (i'll share my hcs for chara design later!!). Gio is freaking out so he jumps out the window into the streets, even risking going outside during Purge just so he can get away, but oh 🅱️oy is Fugo stressed tonight. and he literally hunts Gio down and almost kills him

uNTIL!!!¡!

2. abbacchio & giorno:

(SORRY I JUST LOVE DADBACCHIO & GIORSON SO MUCH)

Abbacchio is tasked w hunting down a certain rogue criminal, so he's la-di-da cruising thru Naples to get to Bucci's house, when suddenly this fucking kid comes running up to him with his hair and clothes all messed up and tears running down his face, and is like "pls help me sir i beg u i just need somewhere to hide pls i don't want to do this i don't want to die" and Abba's like "fuq??" but then he hears manic laughter and chainsaws revving and shit, and the kid sniveling all over his crisp™️ Purge suit looks like he can explode with fear at any moment (and plus Abba understands that nobody would ever run up to another person for help during Purge like this, unless it's really their last option), so he sighs, "fine. get behind me."

the kid drops to his knees and Abba can't help but think "aaahhhh fucking dead weight", but he said he'd help, so that's what he's gonna do. now ANOTHER kid rounds the corner but he barely looks sane, he seems almost possessed by something. *fighting ensues* but being a professional cop Abba knocks the kid out cold w a few swift moves, and when he drops to the ground that crazy expression finally leaves his face. he's already wasted too much time, so Abba turns to Kid 1 and is like "go back home brat and dont get into trouble again", but Kid 1 is still a trembling mess on the ground, and he says "i don't have any home to go back to."

subconscious Abba's like "well that's between you and god" but he knows he's basically this kid's god now (besides, there can't possibly be a god that would let things like Purges happen), so he's like, "fine. get in the car and DON'T get in my way" but THEN Kid 1 points to the passed-out demon child, "but we can't leave him here"

A: "he was gonna KILL you!!"

K1: "i know but he didn't mean it, he was just not thinking straight"

A: "Purges ain't where ppl think str8 kid, besides if he didn't really wanna Purge he wouldn't have geared himself up that well"

K1: “but he’s not a bad person. please, if we leave him out here in this state he’ll be killed for sure.”

at this point Abbacchio can't understand wtf Kid 1 is thinking, but for the first time in years he finds some of the humanity he was hoping to regain in Purge, so he's like "fine. haul him into the backseat. but you're sitting with him bc i got my shit in the front. and if he wakes up you're dealing w it this time. cool?"

Kid 1 nods, and surprisingly he has enough strength to shove Kid 2 into the backseat & get in after him. Abba is trying to decide what he wanna do w these kids, when his phone suddenly beeps, and in comes a new message from his superiors, "yo dawg u gotta hurry up and kill that Bucciarati guy, we'd better not catch u slacking" and he's like "yo Kid 1, can u fight?"

"uh, a bit. why?"

"well, that's what you're gonna do for me in return for my protection."

anywhooooo i imagine that later on, Fugo wakes up like "ugh wtf hello concussions????" and he sees Gio standing over him, and he snaps into defensive mode, sitting up and shoving Gio away and everything. but then he sees that Gio's hands are empty, save for maybe a bottle of water and a towel, and somehow Fugo's own wounds are all cleaned and bandaged, and he groans:

"dude, what the fuck are you doing? did i pass out? did you find help?"

G: "you got hit over the head pretty hard, don't move so suddenly."

F: "haha yea thanks i can feel that myself, anyway wtf were you doing?"

G: "uhhhhh... abbacchio patched you up but your face was really grimy so he told me to clean you up, and maybe give you some water?"

F: "no. i mean like what the fuck were you doing????? braincells hello?? kill me! i should be dead!!! is Purge over?? did the sirens go off before you can finish me?"

he suddenly notices how Gio just recoils and sits there with his eyes squeezed shut as Fugo shouts at him and flings his arms around. but he's seen how Gio defended himself against him, so he knows this guy can fight and is no stranger to Purges. this is the first mystery his 152 IQ has encountered in a long time, so Fugo reaches out to get Gio's attention, but then Gio jumps and slaps his hand away so hard Fugo feels his bruised brain jar. he pulls back immediately, holding his hands up, palms forward, finally kind of able to pierce together what's going on inside the blond's mind:

"sorry. wasn't gonna attack you. just... wasn't sure if you were listening to me, so i tried to get your attention."

"i was."

"okay. sorry." Fugo tries, but Gio is already standing up and leaving, glassy green eyes looking anywhere but at him. "wait! Gior— ugh??"

he almost faceplants the ground again. where's my stupid-ass helmet???? i need to be on balance mode stat. but then Fugo feels two arms helping him up, and he looks up to see Gio, frowning in distaste but still supporting him all the same. he feels bad for asking (as if he hasn't bothered this poor guy enough): "uh, so, what exactly happened while i was passed out?"

oh, honey...

a lot :)

BUT PLOT SPOILERS SO THIS ENDS HERE!!!!!! xD

ya know i might actually go w fugio after all :00 but if i do end up writing this, it will span over 12 hours / 1 Purge only, so even if there are ships they'll probably only be implied, instead of madly into each other by the end of everything :P

to be cont’d… 👀🔪 perhaps with other relationship hcs :0 or chara design?? who knows. suggestions?

feel free to drop any questions you have, or just scream to me in the cmts in general!! i’m happy to answer anything, from chara motives to backstory clarification, or anything else!! ik up to now these posts have just been walls of texts, so :’D thanks for reading thooooo 💖
