hmm in the backseat u say…👀 im intrigued 🤔

omg please concept being there for those ig photos

(making this an ethan concept cause im soft for him today hehe)

“Bad fuckin’ vibes, I fuckin’ told you Grayson. We should have just taken the damn tesla.”

“Well what the fuck do you want me to do about it now Ethan? Huh? Do I look like a fuckin’ mechanic to you?” Graysons face was red, flustered as he tried to focus on the road, the yellow check engine light glaring up at him.

“This whole thing was your idea, and now we’re a dick year from home with a fucked up car and a pair of piss covered shorts in the trunk, and for what? Woo yeah, ‘let’s celebrate our candle launch by driving to the middle of fucking nowhere just to live in two tiny homes for three days’ when I fucking bought you one.”

You usually weren’t one to interfere in an argument between the boys, but considering you were also in the car that was 500 plus miles from home and they looked like they were about to break each others noses all over again, you figured it was time to step in.

“Guys. C’mon.”

Ethan whipped around, still red and puffed up with anger. He took one look at your raised eyebrows and deflated - he knew better than to try that shit with you.

“I know we’re all stressed out and that this didn’t go to plan-”

“Understatement of the fuckin’ year,” Grayson groaned.

“But we can still make it fun. We’re about 35 minutes away from the next town. Let’s get there, find an auto shop, see what we need to do about the porsche, and then figure it out from there.”

“Ah yes, my voice of reason,” Ethan smiled, putting just enough sass in his tone to make Grayson huff and earn a slap on the arm from you.

“Can you navigate? Please? Cause if he keeps talking I think I’m gonna kill him.”

Needless to say, the next 35 minutes were more than tense, and things only got worse when the only auto shop in town with the right parts was closed by the time you got there, the sun already setting.

“Okay voice of reason, now what?” Grayson asked, looking back at you from the driver’s seat in the parking lot of the shop. You frowned at them, trying to wrack your brain. More than anything, you were disappointed for them - this whole thing was supposed to be a fun, relaxing break, something they could look forward to after working so hard for the candle launch.

“Let me drive for a minute, I’ve got an idea.”

Twenty minutes later you were parked at the beach, and your plan was, effectively, going to absolute shit. Ethan looked at you like you were insane from the backseat when you told them to wait in the car and headed for the trunk, rummaging through your bag. You found what you were searching for, climbing back into the drivers seat with it tucked under your shirt.

“Okay cover your eyes.”

It was a bit adorable to see the two grown men cover their eyes in the backseat like small children, so you whipped out your phone, set it to record and propped it up on the dash with a grin before you got your set up going.

They were mumbling to each other but they stopped for a second when they heard the clicking of a lighter.

“Y/N what the fuck,” Grayson said, flinching away on instinct.

‘Chill, give me a second,” you mumbled, getting the candle set up on the middle console and lighting it quickly. “Okay, open.”

They blinked hard a few times, eyes flickering between you and the candle like the flame that was lighting up the darkening interior of the car.

“Figured we could all use a little positivity,” you grinned your cheesiest grin, pointing to the candle of the same name.

Both of them were silent for a moment, and then the three of you busted out laughing, the kind that you knew was going to lead to tears and the possible need for Grayson’s inhaler.

So you laughed. You laughed at the absurdity of the whole situation, the shit show that it had evolved into, the whole days worth of things going wrong.

To top it off? The rain started beating against the car, coming down in sheets practically.

“Perfect. Love to see it,” Ethan groaned, jabbing his hand towards the window and making all of you laugh all over again. In a moment of spontaneity you blew out the candle and threw your door open, running out into the rain fully clothed and down towards the ocean. You had extra clothes in the car, but it didn’t matter - you would have done it even if you hadn’t. The boys were a few steps behind you, whooping and throwing their arms up, running through the sand alongside you.

The three of you soaked it all in, danced around and laughed and lived until you were all shivering and running back to the car, throwing yourselves inside, breathless and full of adrenaline.

“I’ve always wanted to do that shit,” Grayson grinned, eyes wide and bright from the front seat. Ethan pulled you close to him in the back, pressing a kiss to your hair.

Eventually when you’d caught your breath you used the little compartment in the middle to climb back and get dry clothes, you all changed as best you could in the seats, Grayson being sure to close his eyes when you stripped down.

Exhausted from the fleeting adrenaline and day of driving, you all settled down to the sound of the rain, Grayson curled up in the reclined front seat fast asleep while you settled on top of Ethan, who just barely fit long ways across the backseat.

“Thanks for saving the trip,” he murmured into your hair. “And for being my human blanket. S’nice.”

“Just let me know if I squish you,” you teased, nuzzling up into him further.

“Never.”

You propped yourself up so you could see him, smiling when he brushed your wet hair out of your face. “I’m proud of you. I know this isn’t how you wanted to celebrate, and we’ll find some other way to do it once we get back home. But still, you should be so proud of yourself, and everything you put into all this. It’s amazing, and I’m not just saying that because I love you.”

He didn’t answer - you didn’t know at the time that it was because his throat was tight. Instead, he just pulled you down to kiss him, cupping your face as he held you steady above him and listened to the sound of the rain.

#I would like to order one of these scenarios pls #I'll pay shipping #:)#e:blurb #blurb #anon #ask

so riordan made a half assed lame excuse on his lazy/racist writing on piper yesterday and on top of that he made another one on samirah and i’m muslim so i am going to talk about it

damn i’m so sorry these people have been pushing you past your comfort zone about your wildly popular racist caricatures of minorities that have great impact on your young, impressionable target audience. while its fine that if he takes a break for his mental health he still needs to deal with these problems you can’t just take a break and hope they go away.

why does he think everyone is bullying him. if they talked in all caps, cussed at you, or didn’t stop bothering you, i’m sorry they’re just trying to get you to realize how racist your books are, which you keep refusing to believe. i can believe that a few of them were doing it for attention, but it couldn’t be the majority. and my god, god forbid people want you to write your books the way you preferred, without racist stereotypes. 🙈

you can set your boundaries but you keep ignoring the people, you don’t listen. like you put yourself out there as a writer you are open to criticism

why does he keep doing this to seem like the good guy. you give excuses and don’t do anything and just say that its up to you, you can think whatever you want 🥰🥰. like its such an obvious excuse not to take any action.

i’m sorry but no matter how many muslims you’ve interacted with you haven’t gotten the full experience and last time i checked teachers aren’t the kids best friends soo uhm. anyways the rest of it is just him telling his experience with muslimah students so its just there.

so uhm you just said your students ‘unwillingly’ become an ambassador to everyone she knew’. and then you went to talk to them about islam to make sure you were TEACHING THEM YOUR SOURCE MATERIAL CORRECTLY. i’m sorry imagine. these are kids not some scholars you go to consult. there are so many muslims all over the internet and youtube sharing their experiences for you to access on how to ‘represent their experience’ correctly. you’re the teacher here. picture this:as a muslilm, i teach at a public school and while teaching about Christianity in class, no i would double check or some dumb shit with the students. like educate yourself i’m sorry. anyways apparently he blames his mistakes on himself then goes on to deny he ever made any mistakes i can’t.

so this is a blatant lie. 99% of muslims i’ve met have never read all of sahih bukhari and sahih muslim. usually only scholars do that when they are studying islam for YEARS. and FIVE different interpretations of the quran on top of that. ok so sahih bukhari is 9 books that are over 300 pages each and sahih musilm is 7 volumes with also about 300+ pages each. and then the english versions of the quran are 600 pages. and he claims he read five of them. i’m so sorry but no he didn’t. he writes books so fast and he released mcga around the time toa was being released almost one book per year so he did not have a lot of spare time. the rest ig i can let slide. also and if he did do all of that why does he make so many mistakes in writing samirah. and even IF you accept his excuses reading ALL of this source material is great for teaching your class or whatever but not for writing a modern day muslim. you don’t need to lie to us rick ❤️

most of this is just describing what she’s like but his writing did also add in the model minority, smart kid trope. like no they don’t have to be a terrorist or a A+ student who is the best at everything. there is a middle ground to their personality.

i actually used to love his rep in sam. that’s how i got into the series. i saw a hijabi girl on his website. i got excited and read all of his books. i loved piper, leo, hazel, percy, annabeth, sadie, carter, nico, everyone. now that i look back i was younger and didn’t see anything wrong with it back then. its great that he tried to portray minorities but he did it so badly and now is just denying the faults that his now older readers are trying to tell him.

hey, uhm didn’t you read all of sahih bukhari and muslim? hmm i didn’t think so. anyways the way he dealt with it honestly wasn’t that bad. but the whole ‘whoops’. like why does he keep portraying himself as the innocent old white man just trying his best.

honestly how he wrote samirah as a hijabi was the dumbest thing i’ve ever read. its is totally fine if she wasn’t hijabi, many muslim girls aren’t, and that is their choice. but he decided to make her like a weird middle ground. it was so lazy and inconsistent. in the first book she says she wears it when she needs to, like in situations like going to the masjid. this was fine, since many muslim girls do that. then in the next books she wears it all the time except when she’s in valhalla for some reason. hijabi girls take of their scarves when they’re at home or with family, but making her claim the entirety of vallhalla as her family. that was just demeaning and stupid to me. it takes away its value. and i fucking hated that last sentence. for hijabis, their hijab is important and not a toy or weapon or a MAGIC ITEM. and then on top of that she would have to take it of to hide. he could’ve made it anything else. her hijab isn’t some token item istg.

i love how he admits that they are a big problem and abusive and usually engage with child marriages. i’m relatively he doesn’t understand what the people even meant by it. the practice is a problem that isn’t supposed to be seen in a nice light. the only possible way it could be slightly ok is that if ADULTS agree they 100% do not want to choose who they want to get married to and let their parents choose, and both sides agree. samirah was a child and he decided to make her wedding life decided since the age of 12. and it was ok because amir was conventionally attractive and she loved him. WHAT IF SHE DIDNT. this literally is a dangerous arranged marriage. and arranged marriages are not ok, and mostly perpetuated by victims of it who will end up passing it down their family lines. my parents got an arranged marriage and I HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM DISPLAY ANY SIGNS OF AFFECTION. arranged marriages are not a trope that your can turn around to be a quirky personality trait for your characters.

i’m sorry that’s not how arranged marriages work. most likely if she said something her grandparents would have shut her done and continued with the marriage, as that is what you usually happens. do not portray the small amount of consented, ‘happy’ arranged marriages as the majority. it is a huge problem that many desi/middle eastern cultures are trying to erase. even on top of that he writes situations where she’s going to be in trouble for acting up and ‘jeopardizing the marriage agreement’ and that her grandparents think she’s ‘lucky that she could get the fadlan family to agree to marry their son to her’. these statements are often used in forced and dangerous marriages, so don’t try and justify your actions. if you wanted to show traditional customs in a positive light, there are so many richer parts of samirah’s culture you could’ve focused on and you chose arranged marriage. �� all you’ve done is given parents and authority figures a westernized resource to justify arranged and forced marriages, especially with the minimal explanation on how the marriage isn’t forced in the actual books. and yes, your books do condone child marriage samirah is clearly deemed into this marriage ever since the young age of 12. she lived her life knowing she would marry amir. no one has only one crush throughout their life. imagine how she would’ve grown up. sorry you only consider opinions that align with those in you mind.

i’m going to be honest i did like that one scene it was written nicely and accurately but the explanation he gives just ruins the entire thing. the way he just if this strikes you as islamophobic, or samirah as a hurtful, uhm no explanation i just disagree 😽. the way you wrote her is a hurtful stereotype sorry you can’t see it.

oops, you did. too bad you don’t want to do anything about it.

why do you think people are painting you in a negative light, so many of your characters are written on hurtful and negative stereotypes. people aren’t painting it that way, you need to calm down w your ego and listen. dang i’m sorry your best is giving half-assed excuses and not actually doing anything. i’m even more sorry people are mad that a highly privileged author that has a lot of influence is done talking about his racist depictions of minorities in his books.

dang must be lucky to take a break from the social media, imagine what all the minorities you wrote about have to go with everyday weather they are on social media or not. people aren’t bullying you this is valid criticism you refuse to listen to.

fuck you

obviously these are my opinions do not judge every muslim based on what i’ve said come to me if you have a problem with it

anyways support jewish, muslim, black, brown, asian, hispanic, indigenous, lgbtq+, disabled, and other minority authors and creators.

#anti rr #fuck him at this point #samirah al abbas #she deserved so much better #i probably made so many spelling mistakes smh #long post #mcga #rr crit

this paragraph is dedicated to those surrounding to the meltdown mess that occurred yesterday. to each and every one of you who sent me kind words via my askbox or directly contacting me, thank you. I really want to move past this because I feel by holding on it will make me feel less inclined to write because of my guilt. of course, I do not expect you to forgive me, or trust me in my story of how it went down, because at the end of the day it was my mistake for trusting in someone to write with pure intentions when I didn’t know if she could. im trying to continue on with my best foot forward and im grateful for those of you who trusted in me. I swear I will never push myself again, and that I will instead take my time in order to publish my original work and only my original work and not take anything that comes from a “friend”. know that I love you all, and I dont know how to take it easy so my break lasted a whooping 10 hours, and my blog won’t discontinue until im done with bnha or...I get into medschool which is still 3 years away, I am taking care of myself, im staying hydrated, im trying not to put myself down anymore, I will keep going, & will forever continue to be more careful with what I post. also, no one was really coming for me, so don’t worry if you thought so lol. (to you 9 anons who expressed their kind thoughts to me, thank you. to big dick kiri anon thank you. to @bqkubabey, @flayvus, & @ultimate-shit-poster thank you so so much you really helped me not drown myself in my own guilt.)

anon said: i hope you’re feeling okay today :((

I am feeling a lot better. unfortuantely I did make myself really sick yesterday because ive never been as stressed in my life ever, but im okay now. there’s nothing I can do more for what happened so I will try to continue on as best as I can and I appreciate you caring... ilysm :)

@ikinabi said: Your writing??? Actually god sent 🥵👌 and the way you write Mirio gets me GOING

BAHAHAH NOOOOO ITS NOT PLAFUAOGHJIPRAHAR MY MIRIO PIECE YOU LIKED WAS MY FIRST PIECE ON HIM AND OOO BOY I DID NOT DO HIM JUSTICE

anon said: fuck buddy iida is a thought that has never crossed my mind but now that i’ve seen your post i am intrigued haha

well... it is up :) if you wanna check her out :)

anon said: You dont have to answer if you dont wanna but i just wanna see if your okay. I hope your end your doing well and not stressing.

i’m doing much better than I was yesterday!!! I just needed to rest and calm down and stop attacking myself. thank you for checking in!!! it means so much :,)

Falsettos UK time

So I just went to see the UK production of Falsettos last night and kind of wanted to word vomit all my thoughts and key parts of it onto a post so that I can preserve the amazingness in my mind for as long as possible.

Basically, I’ve been obsessed with this show for a while now and it lived up to every expectation possible. The cast were incredible, the singing was outstanding and my mum sobbed solidly through the second act.

FYI - we had the male cover Matthew McKenna as Whizzer (I was a bit worried at first but he was incredible)

This is v v long so read at own risk ig. Also, spoilers!

Four Jews was portraying Jason’s birth (like, the ‘slavery’ was Trina going into labour). It worked really well actually, especially for people who had no idea what the show was about (ie 90% of the audience lmao) It was also Trina in it more than Jason, but there was this hilarious bit when they did the ‘I’m Mendel!’ etc. section and Trina went ‘I’m-‘ and got cut off Also Whizzer piggybacked Jason, my heart

Tight Knit Family - as you’d expect I guess, Daniel’s voice was 👌 Also Marvin did ‘friend’ in airquotes and Whizzer did this mega eye roll lmao

Love is Blind - I guess there wasn’t much else different, just that they all stood in the photo frames when Trina sung about them which was a v nice touch ¯\_(ツ)_/

Thrill of First Love - Whizzer was,, a lot more argumentative than I expected I guess? Like, almost a bit aggressive? But overall it was great, they were so snarky and less sexual than the revival (which my asexual ass didn’t mind) apart from one reaaaach. They also had v good chemistry to say it wasn’t Oliver performing.

Marvin At The Psychiatrist - the staging was pretty similar to revival. Whizzer was watching from the top and he made all these offended faces when Marvin and Mendel were talking about him (when they said he was ‘smarmy’ he did this Offended Gay expression it was great). Then Trina started unbuttoning her shirt in Pt. 2 and Mendel got really flustered, it was wild. Everyone was dying from laughter. Also, ‘it’s queer Mr Marvin… sorry, it’s strange Mr Marvin’ deserves its own shoutout

My Father’s A Homo/Everyone Tells Jason to See A Psychiatrist - Elliot is a star, what more can I say. His voice is soo good as well. When Whizzer arrived Trina and him did this 😒 face at each other.

I’m Breaking Down - I thought no-one could come close to Stephanie’s iconic performance in the revival, but Laura rocked it. She was setting the table for Mendel coming, and it had this mega chaotic energy where she threw the bananas around and screamed ‘shIT’ when they fell onto the floor. For the ‘fulfill his needs’ bit she really aggressively ripped the top of the banana off and peeled it lmao. Also, she was drinking from the wine bottle for one of the choruses and humming, it was amazing.

Jason’s Therapy - Jason was definitely the most mature one in this scene haha. After Mendel did his first dance sequence, Jason just put a hand on his shoulder to stop him and sighed before he said the ‘is this therapy?’ bit. Marvin and Trina sat drinking at the side of the stage the whole time lmao. When it was the second ‘is this therapy?’ line, they both held up their glasses for the ‘yES!’. Also, for the final bit Marvin, Trina and Whizzer all came on singing into glasses and slapping their legs with plates lmao.

Marriage proposal - I saw a few people saying that this was a bit ~creepy~ rather than cute, and I guess I see what they mean? But they didn’t do the weird vampire wrist grab like the revival, so I guess that’s a plus. Trina was very confused the whole time, bless her, and for the ‘start to cry’ she was like ‘I’m not??’ and then Mendel starting blubbering. Plus, Jason sang the ‘biblical times?’ first one rather than Trina, and Marvin did this Super Sassy ‘bIbLiCaL tImEs’ that was hilarious.

Trina’s Song/March of the Falsettos - This was staged as a nightmare sequence, which brought some sense to the madness of MoTF. Like, when she woke up she continued with the song, it worked really well. I also really liked that they reenacted the wedding scene from 4 Jews as part of it, it really showed Trina’s fear that something bad would happen again.

The Chess Game - Wow, this was... intense. Whizzer was super snarky, so Marvin got mad at him pretty quickly. It was so funny though, especially when it was Whizzer saying the ‘move a pawn’ bit and he sat in his chair like Marvin and acted all stern. Marvin was drinking solidly, so when Whizzer ‘won’ and knocked over a ton of pieces he lobbed the board off stage and hit a few things. Whizzer backed off pretty quick looking scared and Marvin was apologetic until the ‘Whizzer’s supposed to make the dinner’ bit, when he got Whizzer’s suitcase and packed it for him on stage before throwing it at him. Also, the ‘this had better come to a stop’ was targeted at the liquor bottle.

Making a home – Mendel came on with only a house plant and it got kicked out of the house anyway lmao I relate. The dog bit Jason’s chessboard rip.

The Games I Play – this was performed so well my mum almost cried. It was much softer than any other version I’ve heard and more… spoken? But the notes at the end were belted and spot on, but he still had the slight tremor like he was tearing up. Your heart really went out for Whizzer, especially as the Motel projected on the screens on his side were mirrored by the homely ones on the other.

Marvin Hits Trina – Marvin didn’t tear up the invitation but he did hit a lot of stuff. Mendel also seemed a lot less angry at him when Marvin first came in then the revival – I guess Marvin was somewhat drunk in this. He also looked MAD at Whizzer whenever he sang his bits, apart from when Whizzer chokes up a bit when he says he doesn’t love him, and you see Marvin falter a bit then before he shouts at everyone. The lights went red when he hit Trina, which really added to the effect (although they were a bit late whoops)

I Never Wanted to Love You – Jason was crying and hugging Trina after Marvin hit her, and Mendel came and surrounded them in this big ~protective dad~ way. Marvin looked genuinely sorry as well, which was nice I guess.

Father to Son – The staging of this was really simple – they were just sat on the floor centre stage face-to-face. But it was so heartfelt, and Marvin looked like he was going to cry for most of it. And at first, Jason was a bit hesitant to hug him after what happened before, but you could see how relieved Marvin was when he did.

Falsettoland – Mendel pointed at the audience for the ‘homosexuals’ and ‘mother with children’ lmao. The tiny band was the wedding ring too. Whizzer was introduced back on with ‘homosexual’ and he did this offended ‘really’ gesture it was great. No Nancy Reagan punchbag unfortunately, but the lesbians came on holding signs saying Love Is Love <3. Marvin and Trina seemed a lot more friendly in this too, which was a nice touch!

Year of the Child – Mendel was Too Scared to really disrupt the arguments haha. Trina was fierce, Marvin suggested the caterers really sheepishly and she basically bit his head off it was hilarious. And when the lesbians arrived with the food, she literally said off-mic ‘you’ve got to be kidding me’ to Marvin. At the end, Jason ran off because they were all too ~excited~ and the last part of the song was spent looking for him lmao.

Miracle of Judaism – ‘Jo… what’s the name of that bitch?’ im dead

Baseball Game – Jason had a pretty good swing before Whizzer even arrived to be honest. The lesbians fully got up and yelled at the umpire it was great. Mendel got up to sing his bit, and Marvin and Trina just sort of led him to sit back down and apologised offstage. Whizzer kept teasing Marvin back about the hairline comments, and Marvin just mournfully rubbed his head like ‘I know.’ It was hilarious.

A Day in Falsettoland – Charlotte and Cordelia were the patients and they were both amazing. Mendel wasn’t even sorry about the name. Charlotte literally spat the food back onto Cordelia’s plate, she didn’t even hide it lmao. ‘Maybe in a mile I’ll be okay.’ ‘a mILE?’ Same Mendel. Also, Trina runs with weights? Raquetball worked really well to say there was such little space on stage. It was nice to see the softer side to Marvin and Whizzer’s relationship, the occasional kisses throughout the game.

Everyone Hates His Parents – it was pretty similar to the revival, except Mendel and Jason both did a mega cartwheel?! I was shocked, it was perfect. Also, Trina cried ‘you’re killing me!’ to Jason after he said he didn’t want the bar mitzvah, which made the ‘kill you mother’ verse a bit more understandable lmao. Also, Trina kept giving Marvin these ‘seriously?’ looks during that whole song.

What More Can I Say - this was so sweet, so Domestic. Marvin was like this happy puppy. Whizzer basically fell asleep reading, and Marvin was taking his glasses off and putting the book aside, it was v sweet

Something Bad is Happening - lovely singing from the lesbians, extra runs! They were So Good together. When Whizzer collapsed (it was a proper keel over too), Marvin lifted his head and shoulders into lap and sang it straight to him. It was v sweet and sad, Whizzer was crying and apologising to him :’(

Holding to the Ground - this is such a beautiful song, and Laura sounded incredible. They were setting up the set behind her, but there were sirens and a heart monitor came on when they helped Whizzer into the hospital bed.

Days like this - Marvin brought this awful cheesy card, and Whizzer just held it up to the audience like ‘what’. But he kept reading the on Trina and Mendel brought and showing it to Marvin. The Whizzer/Trina solidarity was v sweet, he kissed her cheek and things when they arrived.

Cancelling the Bar Mitzvah - Jason started properly crying into Trina who cried as well. It was so raw and emotional, you really felt their fear for what is happening. My only qualm was that they cut part out?? It’s one of my favourite lines, when Mendel sings the ‘becoming a man’ bit :s

Four Unlikely Lovers - now this was heartbreaking. Marvin went and cried at the end of the hospital bed at the beginning, and he sobbed at Whizzer’s ‘our bed’. They were really sweet though, always kissing foreheads or holding hands and things - I don’t think they let go all song. Cordelia and Charlotte also came in holding hands <3

Side note! Whizzer seemed in a lot more pain in this!! Which made me really sad

Something Bad (reprise) - Jason was watching Charlotte sing it instead of Marvin, I guess it was almost like her preparing him for what was going to happen to his Dad too?!

You Gotta Die Sometime - this was sooo well sung, it was pretty soft and then he started breaking down at end instead of belting the note :’’( Until Jason came in and he was like ‘um where’s your parents??’

Jason’s Bar Mitzvah - it had such a nice tight-knit ( ;) ) feeling to it which was really bittersweet. Mendel came in hiding balloons v unsuccessfully behind his back. The took the photo again, which was great (although not bitter they didn’t use the camera effect in that for the line in Everyone Tells Jason to See A Psychiatrist or anything). When Jason sung the prayer, he waved away the book and stood on table v proud. Then Jason sort of beckoned Whizzer over, which made him collapse onto the floor and Jason was taken off screaming for him. It was heartbreaking.

What Would I Do - the one that finally broke me. It was so so sad, Whizzer was still alive collapsed in bed so they sung it to each other and held held hands until he flatlined at end. On stage. My God.

At the end, the rest of the family all crowded around the bed and surrounded Marvin (who was properly sobbing). Mendel blew the candle that had been lit for the Bar Mitzvah out, and the photo they took came up on screen.

So, conclusion, see this show NOW before it ends its ridiculously short run. Honestly. You won’t regret a penny.

More Sleeper Miraculous stuff:

In Ikarri Gozen, Marinette is the one the akuma eats, because she pulled a heroic sacrifice and pushed Kagami out of the way, and IG didn’t bother to check to see who she was eating after grabbing her.

Prior to this Kagami had basically just been training with Longg (untransformed) in secret after getting her Miraculous, but she decides that this is the moment where she can’t stay in the shadows any longer.

The Dragon Miraculous was activated in Once Mode by Marinette during a lesson between her and Fu before it appeared to Kagami, which is how she was able to transform at all.

If they knew her identity both Ladybug and Chat Noir would marvel at the level of self-restraint Kagami has to have to have avoided using the Dragon to escape her house at least once.

After becoming Honeybee Chloe replaces the ‘utterly’ in her catchphrase with ‘completely’, to try and babystep away from her mom.

Their Kwamis and the other heroes have been amazing for Chloe, Adrien, and Kagami. It’s almost like having friends! :D

The other heroes upon hearing that: D:

Okay, Chloe has Sabrina, but she eventually starts to realize how fricked up their relationship is but trying to make things better just sort of drove her to Lila so whoops. (now Chloe has to do her own homework and is dying.)

Lila is a lot more active in driving a wedge between Marinette and her friends in this AU, including using the fact that Marinette knows she’s a fuck to her advantage to manipulate her as well.

It never gets to the uncomfortable levels of screaming and physical bullying I’ve seen in a lot of salt fics, but there’s a sort of social isolation thing going on, a good bit of it either because Lila manipulated a miscommunication of some kind near the beginning or because it’s self-inflicted near the end.

Adrien realizes too late how bad his advice was, and does the only thing he can think to do- get Marinette out of the situation entirely.

He apologies profusely at how bad he messed up (which honestly, his advice is understandable, he was going off of a combination of ‘how to react to my emotionally abusive father who has total control of my life’ and ‘treat her like a tabloid eventually she’ll move on to something else’) and recommends a bunch of really great online courses.

Hearing about Lila from Marinette’s POV (without her dropping any names of course) sort of helps the other members of Team Miraculous who are part of the class realize there might be more to the Marinette-Lila situation than they thought at first, but they don’t do anything in civilian form until she’s already gone and it seems like it’s too late to do anything.

Once Marinette leaves, so does Adrien, because he just... can’t deal with Lila. When she shows up to the photoshoot he basically goes ‘NOPE’ and leaves. Gabriel was pissed.

Marinette sort of drops her friends from ‘friends’ to ‘acquaintances I will act polite towards’ since she’s found more supportive friends who care about her- aka them as superheroes. Because this is Miraculous Ladybug, and Irony rules over all.

The team have winter costumes. The costumes are already insulated by magic, so there’s absolutely no point, but they all just transformed one day worried about being cold in a spandex bodysuit and bam- coats, gloves, hats, boots...

Even Cowbot gets a tiny hat. Ladybug and Rena couldn’t stop cooing over how cute he was.

The members who have Miraculous based off of mammals +Chloe are all super fluffy. Marinette, Luka, Kagami, and Nino have warmers built into their gloves and boots bc they aren’t supposed to be out in winter they are so cold. So is Chloe, but she gets the previously mentioned super fluffy bee fuzz instead.

Hawkmoth is suffering, so Gabriel releases these ultra-puffy coats that are for once more function than form, and are amazing at helping one stay warm in the winter. But they look so dumb.

Marinette only managed to buy one before Chloe bought out every other one the store had.

Somehow, knowing his father designed and released the coats didn’t prepare Adrien for seeing Gabriel actually wearing one.

Nino, Kagami, and Luka as so, so tired in the winter months. Kagami actually fell asleep mid-match while training with her mother. Her mother was... not happy.

Luka would have slept for an entire day if Juleka hadn’t literally shoved him out of bed. In his haze he actually nearly bit her. Do not disturb the Snek.

Nino keeps falling asleep in class. Let the Turtle Boy sleep.

Master Fu is actually perfectly fine with the cold.

That’s Believable | Marcus Kane x Reader

WARNINGS: Cursing, im bad with language okay sorry, like lots of cursing, kane being super cute, confession, small make out session whOOps sorry for spoiling, lIME, nothing more ig??

Plot: You (Y/N) have had a crush on Kane for as long as you can remember. The only issue? You're locked up. You're not under eighteen, but you were born on a fucking leap year, so technically, you're under eighteen - when in reality you're twenty-eight.

Word Count: 1072

Getting arrested for something as simple as stealing food for your sick sister seems like one hell of a good time, right? You get to sit around all day, using your art materials in complete solitary, and get to steer away from reality and everyone in it.

And what makes it better? You were twenty eight years old. But, technically, you were seven because of the date of your birthday - the dreaded February 29th.

Realistically, you would assume they'd leave the childish extra day only every four years back to Earth when it had been blown to smithereens, but to your disappointment, or perhaps fear, it wasn't. And your dreaded mother had to give birth on that day.

Well, before she got floated for having two kids, that is.

But hey, solitary isn't that bad. You get to draw on the floors with charcoal, writing quotes from some of your favourite books and some of your favourite songs. Sometimes, when you were lucky, you'd imagine yourself as one of the queens or princesses in the books you read - and sometimes it'd work to help you escape reality for a bit.

It was kind of upsetting - always being locked in, days fucking passing like weeks and weeks passing like months - but you survived. You had to, right?

One of the men that particularly caught your eye was mister Marcus Kane. He would walk in on the weekly, checking in on you and giving you a smirk as he looked around your room.

You'd spark up a conversation with him, and he ended up spending hours talking to you. You two gained a bond of best friends, and his features would always glance and flash a different sense as he walked into the room with you.

He made it clear that your crime wasn't supposed to be something that is punished, and he vowed to do everything he could to get you out of solitary. To get you back onto the Ark - like a normal person, and like the rest of them.

He looked at you like a person, which was something you had always admired about him. His persistence, his protection for you, the flash in his eyes as he gave a smirk when you talked and the way you laughed. The way your beauty escalated, the way it motioned with passion and love and tenderness. If only you weren't fucking locked up.

"Y/N," Kane knocked on the door and a smile carved at your lips. Wednesday, of course. He always comes in to check up on you on Wednesdays. You jumped up on the bed and met him at the door.

"About time." You muttered and laughed. "Come on, look what I drew." You pulled him towards your new drawing like a little kid proud of what they did in Primary School. His chuckle echoed through the room but was quickly washed over with a face of expressionless...pride.

"Wow, that..." He reached down and touched the drawing. "That's beautiful, Y/N. Where did you learn to draw like that? Cause your other drawings are nothing compared to this." You hit him in the shoulder with a cold glare, as he continued to tease you. "No, seriously, has someone been coming in and teaching you to draw?"

"No, of course not." You said with a smirk as you put a hand on your hip, your eyes gazing over to his eyes. The eyes you had fallen in love with, but you decided to ignore it because God knows he felt the same way about you.

"Good. Then we'd have a problem." He said with a predictable tone in his voice, few feet apart from you. Your breathing hitched and you looked down at him, his vision flicking down to your lips before he chuckled and shook his head.

"Anyway, Y/N, I came here with good news. Amazing news, actually." He said. Your face lit up and you smirked, putting a hand on your hip as you tilted a head.

"What is it?" You asked. He stared you down for a few seconds and then smiled.

"Do you wanna get out of here, Y/N?" He asked. You immediately turned your head with shock. Your eyes narrowed uncertainly, imagining him to be lying.

"You're...kidding with me, right?" You asked with surprise. He shook his head.

"I talked to Jaha. He said that he'd pardon you for your crimes, and it would effective immediately." He flashed a grin and crossed his arms. "Go on, tell me I'm great."

You were overwhelmed with shock and surprise as your heart beat. You smiled and wrapped your arms around his neck. "Oh my God, I love you!" You screamed. "I love you so much, thank you! Thank you!" He pat your head and ruffled your hair, him being taller.

"Of course." He said with a chuckle.

Your eyes met with his as you stepped back. "What made Jaha pardon me for my crimes?" You asked curiously, your voice coming out a thankful beat.

"Well, it took a lot of asking, so I apologize for the amount of time you stayed in here." He said as he put a hand to your face, taking a step forward. "But I wanted to do this, and I wanted it to be after I told you really good news." He said.

You were confused at first, before his lips connected with yours and you surprisingly kissed him back, his hand tangled in your hair and his kiss passionate.

His kiss was intoxicating - beautiful, protective, and tender. Everything you thought it would be, and it was beautiful. His hands reached down to your hips as he pulled you closer, leaving a kiss on your neck and down your collarbone, barely a few inches apart from one another.

Your breathing hitched and you parted from him, smirking. He did the same - almost better - as his hand connected with yours.

"Come on, beautiful. I wanna make up for the sexual tension." He teased and lingered.

skam remakes survey results!

in total i have 248 responses! there were only a few i had to delete (like people who only watched one remake and then voted for that one remake as their favorite- kind of not the point of the poll. stuff like that)

below is a rundown of the results!!!

part 1: demographics

the vast majority were 19-24 (48.6%) or 15-18 (39.2%) and just 8.2% aged 25 and above, and 4.1% under 15.

vast majority were female, 9.4% nonbinary, and 4.5% male.

most people who took the poll were bi/pan (53.7%), with a lot of lesbians also (29.5%), some questioning (4.9%), some gay (3.7%) and a few straight people (3.7%). also some asexual people, which, whoops i forgot to put that as an option but there were only a few.

part 2: viewership

the most viewed among people who took the poll: skamfr season 3, skam austin season 1, druck season 1, skamfr season 1, skamnl season 1, and skam spain season 1.

the least viewed was wtfock season 1.

for future seasons people are going to watch: the most common answer was skam spain season 2! followed by druck season 3, skam france season 4, and skam austin season 2. only 21% of people plan to watch skam italia season 3.

part 3: opinions

the most popular eva was isa!!! by a LOT!!!! followed by emma (23%), megan (12.3%), Hanna (9.1%), Eva (Spain) (8.2%), and Eva (Italia) (4.9%). no one chose jana.

the least popular eva is italian eva with 25.8%, followed by megan with 24.5%, then Hanna, then Jana, then Emma, then Eva (Spain), and a very small amount (2 people) chose Isa as their least favorite. (the other tiny slivers are all people saying they can’t choose!)

the most popular jonas is yann with 38.3%!!!! followed by gio (19.3%), jorge (16.9%), Jonas Druck (15.6%), then Kes (9.1%), and 2 people (0.8%) for Marlon. No one for Jens.

by FAR the least popular jonas is marlon! also very unpopular is Jonas Druck with 21%, and Gio with 8%. the other ones are pretty marginal but yann had 12 votes, kes had 9 votes, jens had 5 and jorge had 3.

shay is the most popular isak by a LOT (47.5%)!!!! also popular are lucas france (20.9%) and Matteo (16.8%). followed by lucas spain (8.2%), Lucas Netherlands (3.3%) and Martino (2.9%). just one vote for Robbe (WTFock).

by far the least popular isak is martino (62.9%)!!!! followed by robbe with 11.4%, then lucas france with 8.3%, then Lucas Netherlands with 7%. Just 5 votes for Lucas Spain and no votes for Shay!

i think this is the most unanimous out of all the questions!!! daphné won by FAR with nearly 3/4 of votes (73.7%)!!!! after daphné is engel (11.5%), then Kiki (5.8%), and Kelsey (4.5%), Viri (3.3%), and finally Silvia with only 1.2%.

the least popular vilde is kiki (33.6%), then Kelsey (22.7%), Silvia (17.5%), Viri (14%), Engel (7.4%), Amber (3.9%), and Daphné had just 2 votes (0.9%)

the most popular chris is jo (35%), then alexia (27.6%), then Cris (21%), then Sam (9.1%), then Janna (6.6%), and just 2 votes (0.8%) for Fede.

fede is the least popular by more than half!!! followed by janna (15.1%), luca (12.4%), Sam (6.4%), Jo (4.6%), Cris (2.8%), and Alexia (1.8%).

the remake people thought was objectively the best: Skam Spain is the most popular with 27.3%, followed closely by Skam Netherlands with 24.8%, then Skam France (17.6%), and Druck (17.2%). 8% for Skam Austin and only 1.7% for Skam Italia. No votes for WTFock.

honestly probably most people chose the same for these two questions, but anyway the results are slightly different. skam france is the most popular (25.9%), then skam spain (19.7%), then skam netherlands (18.8%), then Druck (15.9%), then Austin (15.5%), and Italia (4.2%). no votes for wtfock.

okay so the most popular answer to this one by far was shay!!!!!! other popular answers were eliott, matteo, cris, isa, jo, emma, and lucas (france).

best soundtrack: most popular answer was skam netherlands (35.5%), followed closely by druck (32.5%). then skam france (13.9%), then austin (7.4%), then spain (6.1%), then italia (0.9%). no votes for wtfock.

the most popular answer was skam netherlands (37.8%)! followed by skam france (22.6%), then italia (18.3%), then druck (10.4%), then austin (6.5%), then spain (2.2%). no votes for wtfock.

skam netherlands won again with 37.6%! followed by druck (17.3%), france (15.9%), austin (14.2%), spain (8.4%), and italia (4%). no votes for wtfock.

part 4: long answers

Question 1: Do you think any of the remakes have outdone the original in any way? If so, which, and why?

okay so there were a few people who said something along the lines of “nothing will ever beat the original” but other than that: people said the remakes with more poc + wlw rep, and specifically mentioned skam spain, skam austin and skam netherlands a lot. here are a selection of the responses:

Austin for making Shay their 'Isak'. España for giving the second season for lesbian (?) Cris instead of Noorhell. France in the social media department, especially ig stories.

Spain; it is so kind & loving to its characters, which i think means a lot in a show that is supposed to be about LOVE

I really like the way skam españa handled Lucas coming out! It was very different from the original and shows that you can come out without having had to find a boyfriend! And they’re showing their (now openly) gay character recognising that gay culture exists and actively takes part of it! I’m over all impressed by skam españa. The way they handled Eva’s insecurity without actually having had Jorge hide anything bad from her. Them deciding to break up for their own best (and me thinking that after growing as their own person they will find their way back to each other). I really liked that they didn’t have break up-sex, I never liked that part in OG or any of the remakes.

I think Skam España was better than the og in terms of narrative tightness (although let's be real every s1 has been well done and narratively tight just because they're based on such a great season)-- making Eva actively choose to hang out with Jorge over the girl squad during the long weekend, having the central conflicts actually centered on her female friendships by having Viri betray her instead of Lucas, having the season that explores gay themes be centered around a girl in the girl squad rather than an abrupt change to a boy (girls can be gay! who would've thunk!). Also Skam Netherlands made Isa a much more active participant in her story earlier on than other remakes... not entirely sure this is better done but it is a refreshing new characterization of her that I liked! Also their soundtrack is better done, maybe. Also Druck has definitely outdone the og in terms of hating wlw their powerful misogynistic minds (':

skam austin is so much more hilarious than the og like its comedy is sheer gold

France in terms of cinematography and I feel also like they want to develop the characters more, Spain because they will focus on more things other than noorhell :)

Question 2: What has impressed you about each of the remakes? What has failed to impress you?

So this one was pretty mixed, but the most popular answer was definitely more diverse casting + inclusion of wlw and a bunch of people mentioned david as well. a lot of people said that skam italia failed to impress them because of whitewashing. a lot of people said that none of the remakes have succeeded in making noorhelm palatable, though many also said that winterberg was an improvement from noorhelm. people really liked the remakes that have mixed things up in terms of plot. a lot of people mentioned that girl chris is much improved in the remakes because she didn’t have very much character/story in the original. a few people mentioned not liking skam france because it’s unrealistic / too dramatic. here are some responses:

Impressed me: The new interpretations of the characters in ways that are familiar, yet makes them unique. Cool new insights into the cultures of different countries. Ways they've been able to increasingly diversify the original cast of the show. Making characters in the girl squad explicitly not straight. Giving the girl squad greater roles in their show. Unimpressed: erasing important parts of characters' identities from the original (i.e., making Chris characters skinny, whitewashing nonwhite characters). Unexcused misogyny and racism. The fact that no Skams except for Skam Austin and Skam France and Maybe Skamesp have been able to really grasp what makes Vilde a likable character. The decreased importance of Sana's role in season 1 in some remakes.

druck - failed to impress - s1 is so boring and if s2 was a person they'd probably send me to a conversion camp

france was impressive for stepping up from -4 to 100 in just one season and unimpressive is every time they make a new vagnus despite it being really irrelevant even in the og :( and when they keep the whole “are you sure your not a lesbian” @ noora in every remake bc it serves no purpose it was gross in the og but even grosser in the remakes bc they think they really have to keep that in even though it was not a plot point in og.. just a unfair joke it’s disappointing :(

I am literally physically unable to even casually check out Skam Italia because of white sana

skam españa said FUCK noorhelm and i respect that! also druck kinda sucks for how colossally they fail at trying to be woke. i dont watch skam italia but fuck them for whitewashing sana lmao

skam france - the tenderness of elu and them having hands

impressed by: - SKAM Austin being the only remake where Isak character is a girl; - SKAM Spain pulling a power move of the century and replacing a noorhell season with an original wlw one; - Druck having guts to NOT cast a white cis twink to play Even; - the piano scene from SKAM France. romance was invented the day that clip dropped. half of its views on youtube are mine not impressed by the fact that all remakes (except for Spain, but maybe they saved it for later seasons) seem very adamant on retelling the noorhell storyline. one time was enough

Question 3: Which characters do you think are an improvement from their Norwegian counterparts? Which characters do you think are worse?

a lot of people also said that none of the vildes (or: none of the vildes except daphné) have succeeded in the comedy and the complexity of original vilde. a LOT of mentions of girl chris being improved in every remake bc they actually gave her a story / she has more personality / made her bi. a lot of mentions of shay and cris!!! mixed about engel because some people said she’s an improvement and some people say she’s worse. people have said that none of the eskilds have the depth of the original. a few people also said hanna is an improvement in how they developed her in season 2 i.e. not making her into a party girl. here are a selection of responses:

pretty much every chris bc they’re getting development they deserve. especially alexia and cris for being gay. italian sana is worse for being white washed

chris had no essence in the og, but alexia Jo etc are great characters. William is worse in all the remakes cuz he never improved. skam Italia is worse in every way imaginable. skamnl is way better at showing how teenage girls act. skamus took everything they needed from og and made it better

Daphné and Alexia are both an improvement on Vilde and Chris. Spanish Cris also seems to be getting much more development than the original. Italian Sana is obviously worse, and again, personally, Niccòlo just didn't have the impact of Even.

Not worse Per say but its been excruiating to watch Noorhell in lots of different versions which is why i usually skip their season or at least all their scenes. I think that Yann from Skamfr is an improvement on the Jonas character from the og because he reflects his actions much more. I kinda think Kiki from Druck wasnt as likeable as Vilde from og at first and the lesbian energies were missing but she has grown on me...I REALLY dont like the way Tyler from Skam austin treats Megan and women in general...

every version of chris has become more well rounded and gayer. definite improvements.

Shay is an improvement over isak because DUH, it's fantastic to have a black lesbian as the center of a gay storyline instead of just another white gay guy. Speaking up, Lucas Rubio is an improvement over Isak because he isn't straight passing, and if LVDH ends up having a journey to becoming more femme he'll be an improvement as well. Thin Chrises Are Worse (sorry cris soto my lesbian frog queen....) and engel and kiki are worse because they don't have the comic relief aspect that the OG vilde did, which was like, the thing that kept her bearable

Question 4: (for LGBT fans only) What gay headcanons do you have and why? How are they similar/different from the original? For example: Do you see a certain character as gay because that's how you viewed them in the original?

definitely the most commonly mentioned headcanons were lesbian daphné and bi kes! people mentioned bi isa a lot as well! a bunch of people said that they viewed vilde as a lesbian but none of the vildes besides daphné are lesbians. same with noora, though a lot of people said liv is bi or manon is a lesbian. a LOT of people said that grace is very straight. also jo being bi and elia (italia) being bi.

A lot of my gay headcanons differ from the original. For example, I headcanon vilde as a lesbian, but most of her remake counterparts I headcanon as straight (with the exception of Daphne and maybe Kelsey). I also headcanon noora as a lesbian, but I headcanon most of her counterparts as either straight (Grace) or bi (Liv, Nora, Manon). I headcanon most of the Jonases as straight (Jorge, Marlon, Jonas Druck), but I headcanon og Jonas as bi, and also Yann as bi. However, I do headcanon pretty much all Chris characters as bi/pan (except for cris since she's probably a lesbian! and is it a headcanon if a character is confirmed bi?), and I think that's sorta because all the Chris characters have similar personalities and interact with characters in similar ways, so it makes sense that I'd headcanon them all similarly. I do try and take all the skam characters on a case by case basis, and I don't want to let my ideas from the original influence my views of the characters too much because they are new characters!

i always saw daphne as a lesbian because of vilde, but she has enough energy and evidence on her own. i also see manon and nora as lesbians (as i did with noora in the og, but they do have Energy on their own, as it the case with the majority of my headcanons) and emma as bi. jo and zoya? also definitely bi. most women have big wlw energies honestly. and yann and jorge are bi.

One thing I've noticed with the remakes is I don't feel obligated anymore to assign a gay headcanon to every character just to have them, if I don't feel gay vibes from a character I don't say they're gay or bi anyway just because you know! The gay headcanons I do have are based on who the characters in remakes, not just copypasting

Every version of Noora (except grace olsen, who is disappointingly het, with a tad bit of bi potential) is a lesbian to me. This is probably because I viewed og Noora as a lesbian and this colors my interpretation of all of them unless they give off extreme het vibes (grace 😔) I also hc Isa as Very Bisexual, because I mean did you see the way Liv was introduced? Also we have the same hair so she’s gotta share my sexuality sorry not sorry

I headcanon literally every Vilde as a lesbian and every Noora and Eva as bisexual precisely because of the characters in the original.

I will always headcanon the Eva's as wlw, partly out of wish fulfillment and partly because the supportive dynamic of Nooreva always stood out to me. Otherwise, the og characters don't affect my perceptions of remake characters much.

I see my high school self in Daphné, when I didn't know yet I was a lesbian. In s2 she was unable to name one thing she actually liked about the guy apart from that he's the official "hottest guy" at school, the whole "nothing turns me on", she wants a boyfriend to fit in but she's actually relieved when she learns that Charles Henri isn't into her and she's slightly obsessed with gays things (is Manon a lesbian? Lucas coming out, etc). I see my past self in her more so than with Vilde in og but that's maybe because I'm french and that's why i can connect with her more.

Question 5: What potential future things are you excited for? (Examples: Shay's season, Spanish Yousef, potential new storylines, etc.)

sooo many people mentioned shay’s season! and cris’ season! and david/matteo! and a lot of people are excited for french yousana & balloon squad! also lucas rubio’s channel! no point in showing the responses because honestly the above is what the majority of people said.

Question 6: any closing thoughts?

this one was funny kjhgfgh

(DAPHÉLIE RIGHTS!)

also i got a ton of people thanking me for the survey so you’re welcome love u all!

conclusion

i think it’s interesting how skam spain, as a whole, was really highly rated like people said it’s objectively the best one AND it’s exciting how it’s changing things BUT their characters all scored pretty low on both favorite and least favorite, so it seems like none of their characters are universally hated or loved, like maybe they haven’t made as much of an impression? i don’t know! either way it’s underrated.

also i didn’t realize how popular skamnl was! a ton of people said that skamnl is the best one, the best soundtrack, the best cinematography, the best eva, and the best noora! and yet it seems like everyone hates lucas vdh (tho not as much as they hate martino) which is interesting!

also skam italia scored super low on almost everything which i think is fun lmao

also shay is UNIVERSALLY ADORED which i’m so pleased about! gay rights!

also i’m sort of surprised at some of these results and i would LOVE if any of you want to share your insights as to why you chose a certain character as your favorite / least favorite! for example i want to hear why everyone hates grace! so feel free to send me a message explaining anything you said bc i’m genuinely curious :-)

also as i was going through the results i realized there’s a lot more questions i could have asked so if you guys ever wanna take another survey lmk :-)

Skam France episode 8 reaction

everybody’s favorite gross-out scene, made even grosser

Clip 1 - Emma going for blood

I didn’t think that anything could live up to Woodkid’s “Run Boy Run”, which is one of my favorite songs even before it was on Skam, but surprisingly they managed to pick one of my other favorite songs, “Hard Times” by Seinabo Sey. I have both of these songs on a writing playlist titled “revenge.” And I actually like the sequence of her walking over there and yelling for him outside his door.

I do like Yann. I’ve been critical of him but I don’t actually loathe him as a character or anything. I’m just really have not rooting for him and Emma to get back together in the same way that I had feelings for Eva and Jonas, like that relationship had plenty of problems but part of me still wanted those wacky kids to work it out. I really don’t feel Emma and Yann are good together, like I think being with Emma makes Yann less tolerable for me and a lot of his beef with her feels less like disappointment or betrayal, but a growing problem with who she is as a person, who her friends are and what she’s interested in, and that’s a way bigger red flag. It’s a big surprise because I had a good feeling from them at the start.

Clip 2 - Daphne “back” with Ingrid

The girl squad dynamic is certainly one of this remake’s strengths and I enjoyed this conversation. Imane’s comments about Obama are a good point and an interesting perspective. Actually I think it fits with the message of Druck’s opening monologue pretty well.

I am here for Alex’s version of the Hunger Games.

Daphne is so deeply awkward. Even more awkward than Vilde, because Vilde managed to put on this cheerful smile and say some positive (wistful) things about the girl squad’s bus, and when Pepsi Max walked in she managed to keep it together a bit more and come up with “I’ll go get my jacket” which is not a terrible excuse in the moment, but Daphne got so flustered and like WHOOPS GOTTA BLAST.

Clip 3 - Boy fight

I like Yann so much more when he’s not with Emma. Like it feels like he shows his not-so-great qualities in this relationship, which is not actually her fault, but it makes me want them to be apart.

Even compared to Jonas, Jonas suggested that Eva contact Isak and when she’s like oh yeah, forgot, he just has a little confused look. But when Yann tells Emma to contact Lucas and she’s like, oh yeah, I didn’t have time, he questions it and pushes her to do it. Now I get it, he’s looking out for his friend in a hard time and “I forgot” (mistake) =/= “I didn’t have time” (excuse), but it’s just a subtle difference in their relationship dynamic.

Raptor Alex is even more a dick than P-Chris, man. Alex actually seems like he’s entertained by the situation while P-Chris seemed over it and well, awkwaaaaaaard.

This fight feels so forced, lol. Charles just stepping in and getting hailed as a hero … bruh, whatevs.

Literally my favorite thing William ever did on this show was slowly descend the stairs without any hurry or change in his expression and casually intervene in the fight. Charles seemed more on top of it.

Yann for fuck’s sake, Emma did not actually make Alex be a dick to you and she didn’t make you shove him. That’s your own fault. I get it, he’s still mad that she kissed Alex and this is just a reminder, but also, chill. Again: I really am not rooting for Emma and Yann to be together at all.

Eva seemed like she was trying to calm Jonas down and he stomped off, but with Emma apologizing and Yann glaring and walking off it straight up seems like Yann is blaming her for what just happened.

Clip 4 - Camille invites Emma

This scene doesn’t quite have that tone of “girls gotta support girls” but there is at least the message that girls should start paying attention to stuff other than boys who cause drama.

Yeah that food looks nasty, I wouldn’t touch it either, Camille.

Clip 5 - Girl squad love fest

I am all about that Eva/Noora in OG Skam but I think I kinda ship Emma/Ingrid here. And I’d be kinda down for a French Ingrid season, unlikely as that is. Loved her sitting with the squad.

Also good: Alex telling Manon how sexy she is in a random (made-up?) language. As well as hoping girls will “fight” over her at the party. Missed opportunity to see some of that in action!

Oh thank god they moved the Lucas confrontation to a bedroom. Can you imagine how awkward it would be in that open kitchen area within earshot of everybody?

I loved how Emma is like Lucas 😊😊 I have to tell you something! Making it seem pleasant.

Man, okay. I don’t want to rag on these actors, but my initial reaction to this scene was like “if Lucas’ big secret were that he has a bunch of bodies buried somewhere, I would believe it.”

I just don’t get much ambiguity, vulnerability, or subtlety from him? I know they can’t all be Tarjeis but he was so damn good in this scene, even better on a rewatch, when you knew what was really going down, you could feel all the conflicted emotions underneath. Lucas just feels super blank. I think some of it is his eyes? They don’t feel very expressive.

His body language and facial expressions are so weirrrrd and stiff. I know Isak/Lucas is supposed to be fake fake fake prior to S3 but this doesn’t feel like there’s anything below that surface, and I need something to go on to have some sort of attachment to him, especially when he’s done something very shitty and hurtful. Like the way he segues between these mood shifts/ personalities is robotic.

Even the way he asks Emma not to tell Yann is creepier! It’s less like he’s worried or vulnerable and more just like ominous, though some of that is the lighting. I don’t think it’s intentional, it’s just the acting, sorry. I can see that he’s trying? It’s just not coming across well.

Was some dude taking pictures of Daphne after she collapsed? How helpful.

The way all the girls carried Daphne together was lovely.

This scene had a lot to live up to and for the most part it did a good job. The girls were sweet and had some good reactions. Though I think some of the irony/humor was lost from the fact that the song choice was pretty damn serious. The contrast of Vilde vomiting to this angelic Christian song is a funny part of a serious scene, here Daphne vomiting here and the girls laughing did feel more out of place, tonally.

Also the vomit effects were so gross. Grooooosssssss.

Imane’s facial expressions after Daphne barfed in her lap were great, though.

How much do I love that shot of Imane curling up around Daphne? How muuuuuuch ❤️❤️

The ending overhead shot of all five girls was great.

Clip 6 - morning after

It’s really odd that this scene was placed at the end of the episode instead of leaving it on the girls in bed? Especially since it’s not a Friday clip. IDK what the logic or reasoning was except juggling time limits for each episode.

We didn’t get Eva’s iconic line about blackouts but there was a nice line from Imane about God having better things to do than erase drunk people’s memories. And Manon cuts more to the chase and is more directly comforting and huggy than Noora, who brought up Vilde’s pregnancy in an awkward, roundabout way and lightly tried to play it off as just a trip to the school doctor. Manon has more of a nurturing personality.

Yo, not to take away from this touching moment and all, but am I the only one who’s concerned about the proximity of those pastries to a stick that’s been peed on? My priorities.

General Comments:

I don’t know how I feel about some of these text messages where the girls recap whatever just happened in the last clip. It happened in the original sometimes but IDK, I prefer to read random conversations about silly stuff, or stuff we can’t get in the clips.

Emma being like “Charles was great” about the fight in the chat … girl … Daphne is still in the chat. And Daphne was massively hurt by that asshole like a week or two ago. Him stepping into a fight isn’t a call to glorify his ass.

I’ve been kinda ehhh on a lot of the social media, mostly from overkill, but my favorite IG post so far is Yann and Lucas reenacting the bike scene from ET to the theme music.

The music felt a bit downplayed in this episode and used most in scenes where it was relevant, so good job.

The girl squad group dynamic is definitely one of the strongest parts of the show.

Volume: Silent (TXT5)

Sooo I queued my notes for this instead of saving them as a draft..whoops. Anywho, here’s the real thing!

Noctis rolls his eyes, Kenny Crow is not a serial killer...probably. Prompto just tosses his hands up and sits back in the booth with a light squishing sound, accepting without grace that Noctis will never buy into the theory.

“Alright...agree to disagree.”

Noctis just laughs and glances over at the kitchen again, his fries feel like they’re taking forever. He looks back at Prompto who is sipping his water with a small frown.

“Prom? We gonna talk about it today?”

Prompto lowers the glass, hands on either side, palms flat as he rolls it between them in thought.

“I...really don’t want too? I think it’s something I should just have to deal with the once, with you and Ignis and whoever else has to get involved for me to be emancipated of whatever. You know they left, and that’s good enough...”

Prompto shrugs, he’s so uncomfortable trying to think about his parent’s when he really just wants to wrap himself in knowing Noctis loves him, maybe train until his muscles hurt to work things out...

The food finally comes, a plate of fries and a burger for Noctis and a small side of fries for Prompto. Noctis eyes his order, offering the vegetables to Prompto who takes them but doesn’t eat them.

Prompto chatters as Noctis eats, focused mostly on getting food into him since he skipped breakfast to talk to his dad. He talks at length about the new games going into the arcade and how stupid expensive the new camera pieces he wants are and Noctis has to resist the urge to laugh with a mouthful and the way he groans when he mentions his favorite artist, because there’s been nothing new from them in so long.

It’s not until Noctis is nearly finished, idly swirling a fry in K-sauce, that he realizes Prompto’s not eating. Sure the plate’s been touched, torn up fries are evidence of that but Noctis doesn’t recall seeing one actually make it to Prompto’s mouth. He slides his phone out of his pocket, checking the volumes off and shoots a text to Ignis.

“Ig, did Prompto eat breakfast?”

“No, I assumed you had left to get food or i would have said something.”

“Yeah, we’re in Kenny’s...did he eat anything yesterday?”

“I..I don’t recall. If he did, it could not have been much.”

“Thanks.”

Noctis cringes at his phone but a tap against his foot makes his head jerk up. Prompto is staring at him with a crease between his eyebrows and Noctis chuckles, “Sorry, Ignis wanted to know when we were gonna be back.”

Prompto’s worry smoothes and he nods, “Ah, alright...well..we covered the eating part of a date...wanna go to the park or something?”

Noctis can see a thinly veiled request for photography at this point and he just smiles widely, “Sure. I bet the “lighting is just perfect” this time of day.”

Prompto’s cheeks color a little but he nods determinedly and slides out of the booth, going for his wallet. Noctis shakes his head and covers their meal and tip easily before taking Prompto’s hand. He glances at the uneaten fries and veggies again, but decides it’ll be easier to ask about when Prompto’s distracted by his camera.

He squeezes Prompto’s fingers, leaning in the kiss his cheek, a little awkward from the newness of it. Prompto gives him a bright-eyed little nod and squeezes back, so at least he’s doing alright.

They don’t say much, lightly pushing at one another on the sidewalk as they make their way to the train and out to the large city park. The water fountains are home to beautiful sculptures, even in the cooler weather. Noctis adjusts his jacket as they stop by their favorite. It’s a statue of some long ago oracle and it’s very peaceful.

Prompto let’s go of his hand, pulling out his camera and fiddling with it.

“Stand by her?”

Noctis sighs and grumbles good naturedly about “Always getting dragged into it.”

Prompto gives him the finger and Noctis just laughs, startled a little by the gesture. The camera clicks and Prompto looks pleased.

“Oh? Did you get a good one? Or should I say...great one, because I only take good pictures.”

Noctis congratulates himself as often as possible while Prompto takes pictures of him, it’s his standard so that Prompto’s compliments don’t have such strong effect...though now, he supposes there’s no point in hiding how much they please him.

Prompto tsks but answers just the same, “It’s a pretty awesome shot. You always look so nice when you laugh like that.”

There it is...Noctis is so busy being flattered that he almost forgets, but several pictures and two statues later, he finally remembers.

“Oh, hey, Prom? Do you...did you not want Kenny’s?”

Prompto freezes, it’s brief but Noctis knows him, can see the flash of absolute panic before Prompto laughs it off.

“What? No..I wasn’t hungry dude, I had breakfast while you were with your dad.”

Noctis frowns, he thought it was just a fluke, just Prompto being nervous about their date but..lying?

“Uh..Ignis said you hadn’t eaten.”

He tries to keep the words gentle, not accusing because he really does just want to know why the hell Prompto didn’t just tell him what was up.

Prompto is paler by the second and the camera lens is put back on as he fiddles with it, quiet.

“Noct, can-shit-this is supposed to be our first real date...we’re supposed to be having fun and figuring us out...not asking hard questions.”

His tone is so tired and hurt that Noctis immediately feels guilty. He knows that Prompto is right, they aren’t trying to figure everything out, just how they fit together now. He shakes his head.

“Alright...alright Prom. You can have your secrets, for today. The price is a kiss though.”

Prompto’s tension eases and he gives Noctis a grateful look, lips pressing together for a moment before he steps closer. Noctis stands from where he’s sitting at the fountains edge, arms sliding around Prompto’s waist as his breath fogs between them.

Prompto’s cold fingers brush his cheek and Noctis turns his head quickly to kiss them before focusing on Prompto’s red nose and freckles. Prompto leans in, pressing their lips together gently, letting them warm one another. Noctis deepens the kiss after a moment, gently sucking Prompto’s lower lip.

They trade kisses slowly, allowing their lips to drag over one another’s and Prompto licks into Noctis’ mouth, just enough to taste him, before withdrawing. Noctis follows, chasing the light flavor of Prompto and tugging him closer. They press together tightly, sharing their warmth and love in the frost.

When they part again Noctis smiles, lips a bit swollen and watches Prompto lick at his own lower lip, eyes a bit hazy.

“‘m glad you picked me, out of all the plebs to like.”

Noctis snorted a little, “All the plebs to love, Prom. I love you.”

Prompto grins, leaning in for another kiss, “I know”

Rockabye (2) - Jackson

pairing: jackson x reader rating: mature genre: angst, romance, smut warnings: alcohol mention, ‘exotic’ dancing total word count: 3079 summary: life isn’t easy being a single parent, especially such a young one. but you do your best to make him happy and make sure his life is better than yours was, even if that means ‘exotic dancing’. he’s your entire world; the only man you’ll ever need. until you meet a certain idol who changes things almost as much as your son did.

Part One

Your name: submit What is this? // <![CDATA[ document.getElementById("submit").addEventListener('click', myHandler); function myHandler() { var v = document.body.innerHTML; var input = document.getElementById("inputTxt").value; v = v.replace(/\by\/n\b|$y\/n$/ig, input); document.body.innerHTML = v; } // ]]>

Three years later…

If someone told you 4 years ago, that today you’d be dancing at a high-end strip club for a living, you would have laughed at them. You had always wanted to dance professionally, and though this wasn’t exactly what you had meant, it was giving Grayson a better life, so you continued doing it. Plus, the money was extremely good, even if it did mean grinding on some sleazy old rich men a lot of the time.

Your favorite nights have to be the ones where younger people came in, though. Whether for birthdays, finally being legal, or bachelor parties, the younger crowds are always the most entertaining. Of course, they don’t tip as much, and usually don’t buy private dances, but they have the most personality of all your clients.

Sometimes they try to hard—flirt with you like they actually have a chance—and other times they are nervous as Hell, like it’s their first time touching a woman. You like those times best.

Tonight being a weekend means a mostly younger crowd. You have a regular visitor whom rents a room with you every Saturday night at 9 pm. It’s early enough in the night that it doesn’t cut into your money-making time on the floor, and you don’t mind spending time with him because he likes for you to practice your choreography for your other job with him. Instead of stripping or lap dances, you dance lyrical or hip-hop or whatever you want.

After that, you’re free to work the floor. You cocktail tonight, and you’ve got a good section, including one of the VIP lounges, which happens to be rented tonight. Apparently, it’s a birthday party for some popular entertainer. You decide on the new sheer lace lingerie set you bought last week.

“Y/N, the VIPs for your section just arrived. Remember to upsell as much as you can. They’re pretty young, but you know those idol kids make money.”

You snort at your boss and nod your head, fixing your hair a bit before making your way over to the VIP lounge. There’s a group of 5 guys, all dressed in nice suit pants and button ups, sleeves rolled up. They’re all handsome, but you expected that for people working in the entertainment industry here.

“Hey there, boys. My name is Angel, and I’ll be taking care of you tonight—”

“Oh, I’m sure you will be,” says one of them, interrupting you. He’s the oldest looking out of the group, and he’s wearing sunglasses.

Your smile gets bigger and you bat your eyelashes at him. You learned quickly not to react negatively in any way, no matter how much people annoy you. “And who might you be handsome? The birthday boy?”

He laughs. “Oh, no, sweetheart. That’s Jackson,” he tells you, pointing to the boy in the middle of the couch.

Your gaze turns to him, and as you rake your eyes up and down his body—very blatantly—you can safely say he’s the most handsome of all of them. Smirking, you walk over to him and kneel in front of him. Resting your elbows on his knees, you lean on your hands. He shifts nervously, giving you a shy smile.

“Hi,” you give him a pretty smile. “What can I get the birthday boy to drink?”

“I think we’ll start with a round of shots, yeah?” One of the other boys speak up.

“Namjoon—” Jackson starts, but he’s cut off.

“Hey, we’re here to celebrate your birthday, okay? Try and relax.” The boy speaking—Namjoon—turns to you. “A round of shots. And get one for yourself, too.” He winks at you, and you grin and nod, standing up.

“Be right back.”

They end up doing 3 rounds of shots before even getting drinks. They buy a bottle of champagne, mostly for a toast and for you to sip on when you stop by to check on them. Your tolerance for liquor has gotten better after working here, and you can hold it much better than before. It takes a lot to get you drunk, so you’re comfortable doing a few shots and sticking to the bubbly drink for the rest of the night.

The group is a lot of fun. You don’t hang around them too long, because they actually aren’t needy like some of your customers can be, but when you do sit and talk to them, you learn a few things. They’re all singers of some sort, and they look vaguely familiar. You aren’t really into the idol groups, mostly solo stuff, but you find out you’ve heard some of their music before. The eldest, Joon, is the most familiar to you.

They’re pretty drunk, or mostly there, when Joon takes your hand, slipping you some money. “How about a dance for the birthday boy?”

Jackson blushes and laughs, waving his hands. “No, guys, come on. She’s busy. Let her do her job.”

“This is her job, Jackson,” Henry, you learned earlier, tells him, nudging him in the side with a grin. “So, let her do it.”

“You don’t have to,” Jackson tells you as you walk over to him.

“Do you not want me to?” You ask him, because consent is still important to you, even here.

“I, uh…”

A chorus of “do it!” and “come on, be a man!” sounds around him, and he blushes even more, embarrassed. You feel a little sorry for him, so you take his hand. He’s a little surprised by the action.

“I’ll go easy on you,” you say with a wink, pressing a kiss to his fingers before letting go. The song playing in the club is a good one, something easy to sway your hips to. You move to the loud music, hands roaming over yourself, keeping your eyes on his, despite his moving around so much.

Turning around, you bend over before coming up slowly, head turning to watch his reaction. The others are cheering and tossing money on the table in front of you. Jackson is trying very hard to act cool, but his hands are tight on his thighs. You catch him looking at your ass before he clears his throat and looks down at the floor.

You turn around to face him again, straddling his lap. “Hey, it’s okay to touch me.” You move in his lap, hovering over his crotch, just barely touching him. The brunet nods and swallows hard before lifting his hands and gently setting them on your thighs. They stay there, not daring to move up, and you decide not to pressure him.

Leaning back, you take one of the bills from the table and hand it to him. He quirks a brow and you tap the front of your panties.

“Oh,” he blushes and takes it, and as you resume your dancing, he folds it into your panties carefully. It’s harder than it looks, and he struggles for a moment as you move, so you slow down, and he manages to get it to stay, sticking halfway out.

Grinning, you lean forward, breasts pressed against him as you move your lips to his ear. A hand plays with the tie around his neck, and you whisper a happy birthday before giving him a kiss.

When you get up, he looks flustered, but plays it off, going back to his goofy, loud self. You dance for the others a bit, until they request another round of shots.

It’s an hour before closing time when Namjoon calls you over. “I don’t Jackson took full advantage of your wonderful dance earlier.”

“Oh yeah?” You sit on the arm of his chair, hand on his shoulder, playing with the collar of his shirt. “And how should we remedy this?”

“How about a private dance? Maybe he’ll relax a bit better if it’s only you two.”

“Seriously?!” Jackson groans, sinking into his chair. The others laugh, and he is, too, so you go along with it.

“Well, I’m not supposed to do private dances this close to last call, but…” You call over one of the bouncers and whisper something to him. He nods and walks away. You stand and hold out a hand towards Jackson. “This way, birthday boy.”

Jackson licks his lips and looks at his friends briefly before standing and taking your hand. The boys make whooping sounds as you take him up the spiral staircase to the private rooms.

The bouncer is waiting outside of it, and he opens the door and ushers you both in before closing it. It’s a small room with a pole in the center, a couch, and an end table with a basket full of condoms, lube, tissues, wet wipes, and other various things. Jackson freezes upon seeing it. You pretend not to notice as you tap on the tablet mounted on the wall. The room is soundproof with its own speaker system, so you put on your playlist, and it fills the silent room.

“You can sit down, you know,” you tell him with a grin as you watch him fidget.

“Right, sorry,” he gives you a nervous smile and sits on the couch, hands moving up and down his pants.

Deciding to go slow, you tap your nails against the pole before spinning around it. You easily pick up your legs, wrapping them around the smooth metal. You dance on the pole for a full song before sliding down and crawling towards Jackson. He’s watching you intently this time, teeth sinking into his lower lip, but you can still tell he’s nervous.

You spread his knees apart and kneel between them, and lean forward, pulling him by the tie to meet you halfway. Your noses brush, and you can feel his breath on your lips. You have a strict ‘no kissing’ policy, or, the club does, at least (you enforce it, unlike some girls). You run your hands through his hand, down his shoulders and his firm chest before settling them beside his hips. You stand and dance for him, grinding against his thigh.

“Jackson…” You say, nodding towards his hands. “You can, I promise. I’ll tell you if you do something wrong.”

“Right.” He rests his hands on your thighs again, except this time, he moves them up your smooth skin and onto his hips. You smile at him, encouraging him, and you feel him rubbing circles into your hip as he watches you dance above him.

You move to straddle him again, and his fingers continue their light touches. It’s almost too intimate, but he’s been so nervous, you don’t want to tell him to stop. It’s not like it doesn’t feel good.

You’ve had good looking customers before, even some that you voluntarily had sex with (i.e. you actually wanted to, not just were paid to). Jackson is definitely someone you would have sex with, but he looks too… nice. He probably won’t make the first move, and you aren’t about to push anything on him.

Your hand moves to one of his, and you slowly move it up your body as you dance. “This okay?”

He nods as he watches you move his hand to your breast. You squeeze his, causing him to squeeze your breast, and you bite your lip. His hand doesn’t move when you let go to run a hand through his hair and rest on his shoulder for leverage.

The music is slow and sexy, and you might be getting too into the dance at this point. You feel a low buzz from the shots, but you aren’t drunk at all. But you don’t deny that this is nice. You grab his other hand and bring it to your lips, pressing kisses to his fingers. The hand on your breast squeezes again, and his thumb brushes against your nipple. The sudden burst of pleasure stirs something in you, and you take one of his fingers into your mouth, sucking slowly.

Jackson groans deep in his throat, eyes fluttering for a moment. You lick a strip up his index finger before taking it and his middle finger in your mouth.

“Um,” he starts, making you stop sucking on the digits. You release his hand when he removes his other hand from your breast. “Can we, um… just talk, actually?”

His question shocks you for a moment. It isn’t like this hasn’t happened to you before. Plenty of customers pay just to talk to you, but they usually don’t stop you in the middle of a dance to.

“Yeah. Yeah, of course.” You get off his lap, and he visibly relaxes. His hands move to his lap and fidget again. Sitting beside him, you lean against your hand as you look at him. “What do you wanna talk about?”

“Is Angel really your real name?” He asks, lips quirked a bit in amusement. You smile.

“No, it’s not.” You aren’t supposed to tell your real name, but he’s nice and doesn’t come in regularly like others. “It’s Y/N.”

“Y/N. I like it.”

“Thanks,” you blush and look away. “So, have you enjoyed your birthday?”

“Well, it’s in a few weeks, but I don’t see these guys too often, so this weekend worked best to celebrate. It’s been… interesting to say the least.”

You laugh when he does, enjoying the sound. “Interesting isn’t bad.”

“No, it’s not. But I do have a schedule tomorrow, so that’ll be fun.”

“Oh, man. I’m… sorry?”

He laughs again and shakes his head. “Don’t be. I’ve enjoyed your company tonight.”

“I could tell,” you grin, glancing at his crotch.

He groans and covers his face. “Come on, I thought we were going to ignore that. You were doing a good job of it till just now.”

You giggle and shrug your shoulders. “Oops.”

The rest of the allotted time is spent talking about random things. You learn that he’s the rapper in an idol group, though you aren’t familiar with the name, and that he’s turning 23 in a few weeks. When he finds out you’re 25, he blushes a bit, but teases you by calling you noona.

“Oh, God, don’t,” you laugh and shove him playfully.

It’s weird how easy it is to talk to him and act like yourself, not your work persona.

The bouncer gives a 5-minute warning knock, and you sigh, wishing you could stay here all night with him. He stands and holds out a hand for you to take, helping you up. You both walk to the door, hand-in-hand, and before you open the door, you press a kiss to his cheek and reach for the door handle.

His hand covers yours, and you look up at him curiously.

“Can I… can I kiss you? Is that okay?” He asks, and you raise a brow at him for even asking. “I’m sorry. I’m still a little tipsy, and you’re really pretty, and I know I’ll never see you again, so I just—“

“Jackson.” He stops. “Kiss me.”

He nods and licks his lips, eyes moving from your eyes down your painted lips. He leans in, kissing you softly. It’s sweet and tender, and you lean into it as his hand moves to thread into your hair. You’re about to push it further when there’s another knock at the door.

Jackson pulls away, cheeks tinted pink, and drops your hand. Your heart flutters a bit, and you open the door, thanking the bouncer as you lead Jackson back down to the club.

Jackson must still look a little rumpled from your dance, because when his friends see him, they start cheering. He blushes hard and tells them to stop teasing him.

“It’s my birthday. You’re supposed to be nice to me!”

“We’re giving you a hard time because it’s your birthday.”

The group pays and starts heading out, the music dying out and lights starting to turn on. Jackson gives you a smile and a wave as they walk out, and you wink at him.

When you get home, you thank Hana, your babysitter and send her home. You give Grayson a kiss before showering and heading to bed.

The next day, you wake up to Grayson jumping on the bed. You laugh and snuggle with him before getting up and making breakfast for the two of you. You’re exhausted, so when Hana comes back, you take a nap before getting ready for your dance class.

On Sundays, you teach a dance variety workshop at a local studio. You cover different styles of dance, like ballet, lyrical, contemporary, modern, and hip-hop, and how to incorporate more than one into choreography.

You slip into some sweats and sneakers, along with a loose-fitting crop top before kissing Grayson and heading out.

“Bye Grayson! I love you! I’ll see you later, sweetie.”

“Bye, mommy!”

There are a few of your regulars there when you arrive, and you greet them all with a warm smile. Your classes have gotten much bigger since when you first started a few months ago. Enough so that you had to start renting out a bigger room. As you wait until it’s time to start, the studio owner comes in.

“Hey, Y/N! Just wanted to let you know I’m closing your class to the public today. Except for your regulars, of course.”

“What, why?” She has never given you private or semi-private lessons. That was your job to schedule if it happened.

“I’ve got a group from JYP coming in for your class today, and I was told it had to be private. I had to fight for your regular dancers to be able to stay.”

“JYP? So, it’s an idol group?”

You’ve heard of some idols going to dance workshops, but never usually the entire group together.

“Yep. Just do your normal stuff. No need for anything special, just wanted to let you know it’ll be a smaller class.”

“Okay. Thanks.”

You’re doing some warm up stretches with your regular dancers when the group comes in. You welcome them with a warm smile, waving at them through the mirror. Turning around, the last member makes his way through the door and closes it, and you stop, smile dropping.

“Y/N?” Jackson looks at you with wide eyes, mouth open. The rest of the group looks confused that he knows you. Or maybe at the fact that you look like you’ve seen a ghost.

You blink, taking a breath and try gather yourself. “H-hey, Jackson.”

A/N: Thank you for reading! I’d super appreciate if you left feedback in the replies, or if you reblog it, in the tags. It helps keep me motivated, and I also just love knowing what you guys think ^__^ Part 3 will be out next soon! xo

We've Got This, Jagiya

Word Count: 5,476 Requested by: anonymous Themes: Fluff, Slight Smut. Triggers: Hospital Setting, vomiting, rambling about abortion A/N:I couldn’t bring myself to split this one up into parts, I’m sorry. If you make it through, I’ll bake you kookies. I wanted to try the interactive fic button, so let me know if it works for you and if you’d like to see if used all the time. It’s such a great add-on created for scenario writers. Anyway, enjoy this fluffy fic.

You had been dating Kim Namjoon from BTS for a little over a year now and the two of you often found yourselves fantasising about your future and having children, even more so after you had announced your relationship to the world and had been met with, mostly, positive wishes and comments. As a popular solo artist, your schedules were often so busy that you missed periods here and there, but it had never gone for three straight months. Once you began to get extremely sick, you decided to bite the metaphorical bullet and take a home pregnancy test. You’d bought it quite late at night, hoping that not many people would be out but still wearing a wig and glasses. The elderly woman at the counter hadn’t recognised you as you paid for three tests - you had to be sure, alright? - and no one bothered you as you smuggled them home. Over the course of a week, you had taken all three and all three had given you the same answer. You were pregnant.

Suddenly, a wave of nausea overcame you and you rushed to hurl whatever was left in your stomach into the toilet. Your heaving was so violent that you didn’t notice Namjoon enter your apartment until he was knocking at the bathroom door. “Jagiya? You’re still sick?” His voice oozed with concern. For the last three months you had been so sick with a stomach - well you supposed you should refer to it as it’s proper name now that you knew what was wrong - morning sickness so terrible, that you’d spent weeks at a time in the hospital. Several of your schedules had to be canceled, which made you feel terrible but your fans, and even some of Bangtan’s fans had been so lovely and understanding that it helped lessen the guilt. “G-go away…” You sobbed, trying to catch your breath. How were you supposed to enjoy what was supposed to be such a wonderful time in your life when you were so sick and miserable. It was difficult to even keep down water. “Nice try, I’m coming in.” You tried to kick out with your leg to stop him from opening the door, but it was too late. Namjoon’s eyes softened as he saw you crouched so pathetically on the floor. “Oh baby girl… He sighed, and moved to hold your hair back as another wave of nausea hit you. He crouched behind your and held your hair with one hand as he rubbed your back with the other. “Let it all out, baby. You’ll feel better.”

“How do you appear whenever I’m sick?” You groaned, retching once more. “Do you have this place bugged?” “If you have the energy to sass me, then you must be feeling better Y/N.” Namjoon joked just before you heaved once more. “Hey, Y/N, maybe I should take you back to the hospital…” He murmured, his worry growing. As much as you hated to admit it, not wanting to see another hospital for as long as you lived, he was right. “Alright.” However, if he was to go with you, he might end up hearing from someone else that you were pregnant and you didn’t want that. “Could you do me a favour first?” He looked conflicted, worried that you might start being sick again. “I’m fine, I feel better for now. Can you pass me that white stick on the sink?” You knew Namjoon too well, as he couldn’t help but glance at it as he passed it to you. It took him a second to realise what it was but when he did, his jaw dropped. “I-is this…” He stuttered, bringing the pregnancy test closer to him. “Are y-you?” Chewing your lower lip, you nodded. “I’m pregnant.” “Then the stomach flu…” “Morning sickness…” You nodded, studying his expression and growing worried. Had his talk of wanting a family just been a way to make you happy? Was he changing his mind now that he was actually going to be a father? “Abortions are illegal in Korea.” You told him, rambling a little, looking down at the ground. “And if I were to go to America to have one, I think it would be difficult to find anyone to perform one unless this wasn’t a healthy pregnancy - but other than the morning sickness being so bad, I don’t think the baby isn’t healthy - as I’m probably about 12 weeks and that’s pretty late. You can get it done up to 18 weeks in some states but it becomes riskier for the mother if you leave it that late. Besides, I don’t want to have an abortion. You can leave if you want, I can do this on my own--” Namjoon finally registered that you were talking about abortions. “If you abort my baby, I’ll never forgive you, Y/N.” He said, his eyes narrowing and his voice dark. “Hey, I said I didn’t want to have one. Were you even listening, Kim Namjoon?!” You growled back, getting defensive. “I want to keep this baby.” “So do I!” He argued back. “Then why are you arguing with me if we want the same… Wait, you want to keep the baby?” “Jagiya… Of course I do. I just, I was trying to let it sink in while preparing myself for you to be pulling a sick joke.” “I couldn’t joke about that. You know kids are important to me. Granted I thought we’d be starting a family a little later in life.” You laughed gently. “You’re going to be a daddy, Joonie.” If it were possible, you wished to ingrain the beautiful, beaming look that your love gave you in your mind forever. “I’m going to be a daddy.” He said reverently before pulling you into a crushing hug and whooping. “I’m going to be a daddy!” Your stomach jumbled again. “Namjoon!” You pulled away and threw up into the toilet once more.

“Well, you were correct in your assumption, Y/N,” Your gynecologist confirmed as she ran a cold ultrasound wand over your flat stomach. “It looks like you’re about 13 weeks pregnant. Congratulations.” Namjoon stared at the screen showing your uterus and the fetus it contained, his eyes shining with awe and with a few nerves mixed in. Your gynecologist smiled at him and then you. “Would you like to hear your baby’s heartbeat, Mr. Kim, Y/N?” “Can we?” He asked, the awe shining through his voice. She nodded and soon the rapid beating of your baby’s heart filled the room. “Oh!” Namjoon excitedly grabbed your hand, his eyes flicking to you almost staring into your soul. In that moment, you fell in love with the father of your child. “That’s our son.” He breathed. “Or daughter.” You smiled softly. “I don’t think so. I really feel like it’s a boy.” “Well, you can find out in about 3-7 weeks.” Dr. Lee told you, smiling at your conversation. “If that’s something you’re interested in, I can book you in for three weeks so we can have a look and see if baby wants to co-operate. Otherwise, I’ll just book you in for a 20 week anatomy scan and that will be it until it’s time for you to come in and discuss your birth plan.” You looked at Namjoon, a small frown on your lips. “I’d rather not find out, Joonie.” You told him, worried that he would desperately want to find out if he was having a boy. “Alright,” Namjoon said simply. “I’m already confident he’s a boy, so why do we need a scan to tell us that?” You could only laugh at his determination. “Just don’t be disappointed if we have a girl, Namjoon.”

At fifteen weeks, after telling your parents and your companies, the two of you decided to fill in Namjoon’s groupmates before breaking the news to the rest of the world. They were the most important people in his life, excluding you and his parents. You planned on inviting the guys over to your place and cooking them dinner before telling them, but as soon as Jin got wind that you had big news to share, he insisted that you went to their place so that he could cook. You had a feeling that he had known what was going on even before you did. He’d been quite careful of you since you came down with your “stomach flu”, especially when the younger members tried to rough house. You’d become a Noona to them, even before you and Namjoon had become a thing - even if you were only a couple years older than Jungkook, the youngest member.

Thanks to Jin, the meal went off without a hitch and as the lively conversation had begun to die down completely, the topic of your news was brought up. “So what’s up, Namjoon, Y/N?” Hobi asked, his eyes darting between the two of you. You glanced at Namjoon and smiled with a shrug. He moved closer to you and rested his arm on your shoulder. “Y/N and I…” You both looked at each other and everyone around the table. God, what if they hated you. “Are going to have a baby.” “Damn.” Taehyung groaned, putting his head down on the table. “Hey,” Namjoon growled as your face fell. “Watch what you say, Kim Taehyung.” “Why? Now I own Jin $50.” He whined, when he lifted his head, he had a massive grin on his face and the rest of the boys burst into laughter. Even Namjoon couldn’t help but smile. You, however, burst into tears your hormones getting the better of you. “That wasn’t a nice trick, Taehyung!” You cried, hitting Namjoon in the shoulder as he snickered at the worried look on Taehyung’s face. “I’m sorry Noona, I’m really happy for you I swear!” It didn’t matter. You continued to sob. Namjoon couldn’t hold his laughter in a second longer and as you cried, he laughed. The boys never looked so confused or conflicted.

Once things had settled down, you all piled into the living room to watch a movie. Taehyung sat the furthermost away from you despite your protests. “I’m sorry, TaeTae, I can’t control my feelings right now. I didn’t mean to. I was just so worried how you would all react.” You pouted, but he still tried to keep his distance. “If you don’t stop being weird, I’ll cry again.” Your threat seemed to work as he shuffled closer but still couldn’t meet your eye. Half way through the movie, you began to doze off as Namjoon slowly rubbed your stomach, which had just started to become a small potbelly, humming softly. While Namjoon wasn’t a great singer, his voice was special to you. You felt relaxed and content as you tried to focus on the movie. Then you felt it. A tiny fluttering from the pit of your uterus. “Oh my god.” You gasped as your eyes shot open. Namjoon retracted his hand quickly, panic showing in his face. The other members were panicked too, but you only had eyes on Namjoon. “What? What’s wrong?” “Shhhh!” You gasped, excitedly. “Do it again, rub my stomach and hum again.” While everyone was looking at you crazily, Jin paused the movie and Namjoon did as he was told - though he seemed more self-conscious with everyone’s eyes on him. You waited and waited for something to happen, but nothing did. “Come on baby, I know you’re in there.” You murmured. Perhaps it was a trick of your imagination, something you imagined as you feel asleep. But then, it was there again, stronger this time. “Oh my god, I can feel you. I can feel the baby moving.” You felt new tears well in your eyes as Namjoon sang a little louder at this revelation and the baby continued to flutter away. “Can you feel it?” You asked but Namjoon shook his head. “It’s OK, I will eventually. Right now, I’m just happy that you can feel it.”

For the most part, the public had reacted well to your happy announcement. Of course, you were never going to be able to please everyone, but you’d learned not to let that bother you over the years. Namjoon had been a little upset at first, more worried about how you would react and that it was causing stress for you and the baby, but he’d calmed down pretty quickly when you explained that it honestly didn’t bother you. There would always be negative people in the world and maybe some of the fans just needed time to accept that he would be a father. Once they saw that things wouldn’t change so much unless for the best, then they wouldn’t worry as much.

Your pregnancy was progressing quickly. The baby grew more active every day and you’d started to feel kicking and bigger movements, but Namjoon was still yet to feel anything. Not long after your dinner with the boys, Namjoon had moved out of the dorms, you had moved out of your little one bedroom apartment and the two of you had found your first home together. The new apartment wasn’t much bigger than your old one, but it had two rooms that would eventually accommodate your growing family. You’d both decided that you wanted to keep the baby in your room until it became too crowded. This way one of you would never be alone when the other was away for work. You both had to get back into your jobs fairly quickly after the birth - though your schedule was pretty light for the first four months after the baby was due - and your companies had been great in working it out that at least one of you could be with the baby for the first six months. Then your mother and Namjoon’s mother would be helping out. For now, the second bedroom was going to be an office/studio for you both to use when you were working from home. You’d placed a futon in there so that, if one of your mother’s needed to stay the night, a bed could be easily made up for her.

Namjoon was still adamant that your baby was a boy, and it took all your control to rein him in when the two of you went shopping for baby things. Everything he picked up was very gender specific. “I just think, until we know for sure, we should get gender neutral clothing.” You told him, for what felt like the 50th time that afternoon alone. “But jagiya, I do know for sure that we’re having a boy.” He teased, rubbing your stomach that grew bigger every day. At 20 weeks, you finally looked somewhat pregnant and not just bloated. Your stomach was still small, but it was definitely more rounded. “Ugh, sometimes I want to smack you.” You complained, feeling a headache developing behind your eyes. “Alright, alright,” At least he knew when to stop teasing. “Only gender neutral clothing… Until I’m proven right.” You rolled your eyes and smacked him lightly on the shoulder.

You needed Namjoon and you needed him now. At 24 weeks pregnant, your sex drive was through the roof. You simply could not get enough of him and this usually worked out to both of your favour. Except for now. Namjoon was working hard on a new song and trying to get it done quickly so that he could join you in bed. Lately, you were having trouble falling asleep unless he was there. While you had been told over and over by your doctor that everything was fine, you continued to have various levels of nightmares. Some were more real, in one you gave birth to a girl causing Namjoon to leave you. In another, he was grossed out by your ever-expanding body and left you for another woman. In another, you went into labour and pushed and pushed for an entire week only to be told that you weren’t pregnant and to go home. Some were silly, but they still made you wake in a sweat. Just last night you dreamt that you went into labour and gave birth to a foul that had Hobi’s face. When you told that dream to Namjoon, he nearly pissed himself laughing and had to text it word for word to the other members. You weren’t impressed.

Finally, you saw the living room light switch off and Namjoon - glorious, shirtless Namjoon - appear in the doorway to your bedroom. “Still not asleep, Jagiya?” He yawned, making his way into the bathroom to get ready for bed. You whined impatiently, rubbing your thighs together. He stuck his head around the doorway and raised a brow studying you. God, he was sin incarnate, even with foamy toothpaste and a toothbrush hanging out of his mouth. “How are you so fucking attractive?” You purred, kneeling on the bed and crawling toward him. “Hurry up and get over here now, Namjoon.” His adorable puzzled expression turned into a sex smirk before he disappeared back into the bathroom. When he returned, sans toothpaste, he pushed you back gently and crawled between your legs, leaning down to kiss you hungrily. You savoured the taste that was him mixed with minty toothpaste before he pulled away and freed your left nipple from your pyjama top, sucking it as he ground against you lightly. The mint left in his mouth from the toothpaste only heightened the experience, making you see white as you cried out in ecstasy. Namjoon stilled, released your nipple and watched you in awe. “Did you just… Did you cum from that alone?” Blushing, you reached for a pillow to bury your face in but he stopped you. “That was so sexy, Y/N.” He kissed you hungrily, his cock hard against your core with only his pants and your underwear separating you from what you both wanted. You were so hot and wet. “Let’s see how many more times I can get you to cum from just my mouth.”

His lips met yours once more before they began to make their way down your body. As he placed a kiss low on your stomach, you felt the baby start to kick but you were too lost in the sensations to care. Namjoon still couldn’t feel the baby anyway, so why freak him out and ruin the mood by mentioning that the baby was awake. That was until you notice he’d stilled, his hands and face pressing against your small bump. “Did he…” His voice was low and childlike as he looked up at you in awe. “Jagiya, did he kick? I felt him. I can feel him.” The passionate mood that you had both been in quickly changed, but you couldn’t bring yourself to care as you watched your boyfriend openly weep knowing that he could finally feel his child move inside you. “Hi baby,” He breathed, running his hands over your stomach, his lips pressed against the tight skin there. “It’s me, daddy.”

It was hard watching him go. He was off on tour for four weeks around Korea, Japan, and China and you were now thirty-three weeks pregnant. It just wasn’t safe or practical for you to see him off at the airport. Instead, you said goodbye outside your apartment building. The rest of the group had arrived to pick up him and had piled out of the van to say goodbye to you. It was hard to focus on them and your emotions while blocking out the sound of screaming fans. Someone had caught wind of them being there and a small crowd had formed to also see them off. “I’ll be back in four weeks.” He said, ignoring the fans calling out to him. The others were had all climbed back into the van and were trying to give you guys some privacy. “You message me for any reason at all. Even if you’re just feeling lonely.” You nodded, feeling miserable. “You’re going to be wonderful, Appa. We’ll be here cheering for you.” You smiled, a few stray tears rolling down your face. Lately, you’d taken to calling each other Appa and Eomma. It had started off as a way to creep out the other members. You’d been talking to the baby while you waited for Namjoon to come home when the boys burst through the door and made themselves at home. Namjoon coming in last. ‘Ah, here comes Appa.’ You’d said to your belly, only to have the boys freak out. However, it had developed into something more. Somehow, it made you truly feel like a family and the countdown till you finally got to meet you baby more bearable. “Thanks, Eomma,” He grinned as he took you in your arms and kissed you tenderly. The crowd cheered, most of the fans had come around to your relationship and the idea you were having a baby by now. Especially those who lived in and around your neighbourhood. Usually, they were quite respectful of your lives and give your plenty of room. You’d always loved Namjoon’s fans because they loved him and BTS so much, but you’d really grown to love them during the time your relationship had been made public. Kneeling down, he kissed your stomach, his hands either side of it before resting his forehead there. You blushed, not used to such displays in public, smiled and waved awkwardly to the crowd who grew louder at the display of affection. “Now, you be good for Eomma, son.” He said, just loud enough for you to hear. The baby kicked and he looked up at you with glee. Your baby’s movement never grew old for Namjoon. He still had that same look of awe and happiness that he did the first time he’d felt it. “Appa, fighting.” You cheered, though your voice cracked a little with emotion. “Be safe jagiya. I love you.” The two of you kissed and embraced once more and then he was in the van and heading to the airport.

“You two are so cute together.” One fan cried and you smiled, though tears were now freely flowing down your face. “Thank you for loving him.” “Please don’t be sad, Eonnie. He’ll be back soon.” Another called. “Thank you for loving him so much.” You told them, showing your true emotions. “He needs your love just as much as he needs mine.” Waving to them as they cheered and called out, you made your way back into the apartment.

One more week. Just one more week. You chanted, ignoring the pain that was currently coursing through your body. You mother had been staying with you while Namjoon and BTS were on tour, but she had gone down to the store to get some last minute things you wanted to pack in your hospital bag. You’d been having little tweaks of pain all morning, but had just chalked it down to Braxton hicks contractions which you’d already had two lots of since Namjoon had been gone. You’d called him the first time, and he’d been in the middle of organising a way back to you when they’d gone completely. That time, he’d been in Busan and was much closer. You’d told him the second time, while they were in Tokyo, but you’d known straight away that it wasn’t real labour and told him as much. He’d worried, but he hadn’t been tearing about trying to get a plane back like he had the first time.

This time felt different, though. At thirty-six weeks pregnant, you could safely go into labour and be classed as ‘full term’, however, you had been told that you would make it to at least thirty-eight weeks as you and the baby were both healthy. That’s why you’d been more at ease about Namjoon going away at such a late stage. You couldn’t be going into labour now, he wouldn’t be back for another week.

You were pacing around the apartment, practicing your breathing, when your mother returned from the store. “Y/N? What’s wrong?” She asked, her voice was calm but you could hear that she was slightly worried. “Are you having Braxton hicks again?” You shook your head, just as another contraction hit. You breathed through it, remembering what you had been taught. “I think this is the real thing, mum.” You told her once the contraction ended. “They’re not close together yet, I just feel uncomfortable.” You were amazed at how calm you were being. “I’ve called the hospital, she said not to come in until I’m 3cm dilated.” You mother opened her mouth to speak. “I checked and I’m not, however, I’m not quite 2cm though. I was resting, but I got restless and needed to walk. Would it be silly to take a walk around the neighbourhood?” “I don’t see why not, but you need to call Namjoon first and let him know.” “I couldn’t get a hold of him, I think he’s on stage but I left a message.”

When you got back from your walk - which was really more of a shuffle - Namjoon still hadn’t called. You left your phone with your mother and went to shower. You’d just turned the shower off and reached for your towel when your water broke. “Namjoon’s calling.” Your mother explained as she opened the bathroom door and stuck her hand through the crack. You answered, not wanting him to think something was wrong but called out to your mother first. “Mum, I think my water just broke.” “What?!” You heard Namjoon call from the phone in your hands. “I’ll get the bags.” You mother said, her voice teary. “Jagiya.” You said weakly, bringing the phone up to your ear. “I’m coming home. I’ll get someone to book me on the next flight out and I’ll be there before you know.” Namjoon was saying, you could hear the other boys making a commotion in the background, set off by the panic their leader was in. “Y/N? Why aren’t you answering me?” You were in the middle of a particularly contraction and couldn’t hear him as you’d brought the phone to your chest. When it was over, you brought it back up to your ear to hear Namjoon going nuts. “I need the next flight out, hyung! Isn’t there anything sooner? Y/N? Y/N? Damn it!” “Relax, sorry, I was just having a contraction. I think it’s probably best you jump on the first flight available, though. Mum’s going to take me to the hospital now. I’m still wet from my shower, Jagi, I’m starting to get cold.” “Well get dressed then!” He cried in frustration. “I will, but I need to go to do that. It’s hard to have contractions, get dressed and hold a phone at the same time. I love you. See you soon.” “She’s sassing me.” You could hear Namjoon say sarcastically. “The woman is in labour and she has the time and energy to sass m--” You hung up the phone.

You’d been in active labour for seven hours. Namjoon had boarded the plane from Hong Kong three hours ago but he still wouldn’t touch down for another half an hour. Then there was a thirty minute trip to the hospital - if traffic was good. You stared worriedly up at the ceiling as the nurse examined you. Out in the hall, you could hear your mother on the phone to Jin, updating the boys on how things were progressing. “Not long now,” You could just make out her saying. “I’m not sure if he’ll make it.” ‘Please hurry, Namjoon.’ You thought, snapping to attention as the nurse straightened up and lowered the sheet covering you. “I’m sorry, Y/N, but I’m going to have to get the doctor. It’s time to deliver a baby.” Your heart sunk a little. There was still time, though, right? It would take longer than an hour to deliver the baby. Your doctor entered the room and also examined you. “Y/N, it would seem that you’re actually further along in your pregnancy that we originally expected.” She said. You frowned. What did that mean? “Will that affect the baby?” You asked, worry creeping into your stomach. This on top of everything else was just too much. “Well yes, but not in a bad way. It just means that the baby is more developed. We thought you were thirty-six weeks when in actuality, you’re thirty-eight weeks. Just two weeks off your due date, instead of four. Babies are born at this stage all the time and with no health problems at all. He or she may be a little slow to latch on for feeding, but other than that, you have nothing to worry about.” You sighed, at least something was going to be alright. “Now, let’s deliver a baby, shall we?”

You held your baby in your arms, wrapped up safe and tight. It was impossible to think that something so small and perfect had been inside you less than an hour ago. Your mother and Namjoon’s mother, along with the doctor and the nurses, had stepped out to give you a moment with your new baby. 7lbs exactly and 18 inches long. A hand came free from the bundle and the baby yawned, stretching and wriggling before settling once more. “How are you so perfect?” You cooed, running your finger along the softest baby cheek you’d ever felt. “Where is she? Y/N?” You snapped out of your sleepy content at the sound of Namjoon running, calling for you through the hall. You heard his mother chastise him and his muffled apology before the door opened. Your stomach twisted slightly, how was he going to react. “Hey, Eomma.” You burst into tears. It had been a long, distressing day and now he was going to hate you and your baby. “Hey, hey… What’s wrong?” He rushed over to you and stopped, his eyes on the baby. The words fell from his lips like a prayer. “Oh... you’re perfect.” His eyes met yours. “May I?” Though the tears wouldn’t stop, you held your baby out to him. Maybe just holding your child would be enough. “What… which kind did we get?” He asked in awe, not taking his eyes off the bundle in his arms. “I’m sorry, Namjoon… It’s a girl.” You sobbed harder, causing the sleeping baby to start to fuss, “Hey now,” He soothed. “It’s ok, it’s ok. Eomma’s just tired. You put us through a lot little one.” “Aren’t you disappointed?” You asked once the tears had subsided. “What, why would I be disappointed?” He asked incredulously. “Didn’t I tell you we were going to have a girl?” If he hadn’t been holding your child, you would have throttled him.

A week later, you were back at home. Both you and Namjoon were struggling with parenthood and were incredibly tired, but you had an amazing support team in your mothers. There was a new energy in the apartment today, however. Even the baby could sense that something was going to happen. Today was the day that the uncles met their niece for the first time. The members had been thrilled to find out they had a niece, Jin especially, he texted you constantly with pictures of pretty dresses and accessories. Though she hadn’t met them, your daughter had successfully wrapped six other men around her tiny finger.

You’d just finished feeding her and was tucking yourself back into your dress when the doorbell rang. The baby fussed a little but was quickly distracted by you rubbing her back, trying to coax her into burping. Namjoon hurried to the door and checked the intercom. “These punks.” He laughed, opening the door as you rocked your, now settled, daughter. They entered the apartment but hung back in the doorway. “She isn’t going to bite.” You smiled looking up from your girl’s precious face. “We have someone we want to introduce you to.” Reverently, the boys entered the flat and stood around you. “Boys, this is Luna Kim. Luna, meet your uncles.” “Can I hold her?” Taehyung asked the first to slip out of Luna’s spell. You nodded and stood so he could sit in your chair. “Watch her head.” You said softly, placing her in his waiting arms and watching your friend melt. Namjoon came and stood beside you, wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling your close. “She’s going to be trouble, isn’t she?” He teased softly. “Nah, not with her Appa and six uncles wrapped so tightly around her finger.” You replied. “She won’t have time for other boys.” Namjoon must have been content with that response as he let out an appreciative hum. “Good. We've got this, Jagiya.” And he was right.
