your favorite song from your all-time favorite artist 

   honeymoon avenue ariana grande - “baby you know how to drive in rain, and you decided not to make a change. stuck in the same old lane, going in the wrong way home. i feel like my heart is stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, i’m under, pressure cause i can’t have you the way that i want, let’s just go back to the way it was. when we were on honey moon avenue…baby, coasting like crazy, let’s just go back to the way it was.”

a song that inspires or motivates you

   fall in line christina aguilera x demi lovato - “all the youth in the world will not save you from growing older. and, all the truth in a girl is too precious to be stolen from her. it’s just the way it is, and maybe it’s never gonna change, but i got a mind and so much strength  and i got a right to speak my mind. and i’m gonna pay for this, they’re gonna burn me at the stake. but i got a fire in my veins, i wasn’t made to fall in line.”

what’s a song that reminds you of someone ?

   the only exception paramore - “when i was younger i saw, my daddy cry and curse at the wind. he broke is own heart and i watched, as he tried to reassemble it. and my mother swore she would, never let herself forget. and that was the day that i promised, to never sing of love, if it does not exist. but darling you are, the only exception.”

the song that gets you in the mood to party

   lifted cl - “h-u-f-f, huff and i puff. blow like snow when the cold wind’s blowing. zoom, i hit the mic like boom. wrote i song about it, like to hear it? here it goes, ‘style will hit you, wham, then goddamn. you’ll be like “oh shit that’s the jam.” turn it up, now hear me get buck wild, wild, i’m about to blow light me up.’ upside, downside, inside outside, hittin’ you from every angle, there’s no doubt. poetry in motion, coast to coastin’. rub it in your skin like lotion, lotion.”

your guilty pleasure

   love is a battlefield pat benatar - “we are young, heartache to heartache, we stand. no promises, no demands, love is a battlefield. we are stong, no one can tell us we’re wrong. searching our hearts for so long. both of us knowing, love is a battlefield.”

a song that’s out of your typical music preference

   fun! estella fromis_9 “a week goes round and round. it’s too boring, tomorrow will be just like today. is there anything fun to do? what about there? in my imagination, i’m ariana grande,but someone might say, “what’s wrong with her?” 

what do you listen to when you’re in love ?

   la vie en rose daniela andrade - “hold me close and hold me fast, this magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose. when you kiss me, heaven sighs. and though i close my eyes, i see la vie en rose. when you press me to your heart, i’m in a world apart, a world where roses bloom. and when you speak angels sing from above, everyday words seem to turn into love songs.”

do you have song you’ve listened to all your childhood ?

    deep summer walker - “trust me, trust me. i don’t like being alone. thinking ‘bout ringing your line. i wish you would come home, but i’m just tryna balance my space, i’m just tryna protect my space, oh. i don’t really need the pain, but i love to feel the pain. maybe i could use a break, so we just might have to wait.”

a song you didn’t expect to like

    music for a sushi restaurant harry styles - “green eyes, fried rice, i could cook an egg on you. late night, game time, coffee on the stove, yeah. you’re sweet, ice cream, but you could use a flake or two. blue bubblegum, twisted ‘round your tongue, i don’t want you to get lost, i want you to go broke, i want you.”

what song would be your ‘intro’ music ?

   #1 the snake lana lubany - “bright yellow eyes, staring into my soul. singing sweet lullabies, while she measures my skull. turn off the lights, feel her rattle her bones. a big appetite, forcing me to let go.”

   #2 daisy ashnikko - “you don’t wanna see me bratty. pet the kitty, call me catty. make your man call me daddy, he talk too much he’s too chatty. ceo i’m savvy, respect a b*tch i’m a maverick. flexible, so elastic, but don’t you dare bend a b*tch backwards.”

   #3 dictator rei ami - “i am not your queen, i’m your dictator. bend a f*cking knee, b*tch that was an order. what you say to me? huh? b*tch speak louder, you know i reign supreme, nah you can’t imitate her.”

what song best represents your outward look —  or your attitude towards life ?

   #1 show and tell melanie martinez - “show and tell, i’m on display for all you fuckers to see. show and tell, harsh words if you don’t get a pic with me. buy and sell, like i’m a product of society. art don’t sell, unless you f*cked every authority.”

   #2 midnight sky miley cyrus - “i was born to run,  i don’t belong to anyone, oh no, i don’t need to be loved by you. fire in my lungs, can’t bite the devil on my tongue, oh no, i don’t need to be loved by you. see my lips, on her mouth, everybody's talking now baby. oh, you know it’s true. i was born to run, i don’t belong to anyone, oh no, i don’t need to be loved by you.”

   #3 i don’t care ariana grande - “i used to cry, ‘bout some crazy sh*t before. i used to feel so obligated to be so much more. i used to let some people tell me, how to live and who to be, but if i can’t be me, then f*cks the point? uh, i don’t care about it any more.”

the song with your favorite lyrics

   shake it out  florence + the machine - “and i’m damned if i do, and i’m damned if i don’t. so here’s to drinks in the dark, at the end of my rope. and i’m ready to suffer, and i’m ready to hope. it’s a shot in the dark, and right at my throat.”

Bucky awoke to the sound of the guards unlocking the door, the metal creaking as Alexander Pierce walked in, waving the guards off to leave the two alone.

“you have another mission today” the man spoke smoothly, bucky getting up from his small bed and staring at the man infront of him, “you need to finish this before it gets out of hand” pierce spoke, eyeing the soldier as he stared blankly ahead.

“Do you understand?” He questioned, bucky looked at him, nodding his head silently as the guards took him out, taking him to get ready for his mission.

He had stopped resisting, he had nothing left, he couldn’t remember much and he had no idea who he even was. Bucky followed the motions, suiting up and grabbing his weapons alongside the other HYDRA agents.

You frowned at steve and natasha, grumbling to yourself as Sam let you into the house.

“im y/n, sorry about these two” you smiled at the man, extending your hand out and turning to your two friends.

“thank you for coming y/n, we really need you” Steve spoke, natasha nodding in agreement as she dried her hair slowly.

“yeah, yeah everyone always needs me” you joked, sitting next to them and rubbing your eyes, “woke me up from my nap so this better be good” you spoke, crossing your arms over your chest and leaning back.

Steve and natasha explained the situation, telling you what they knew about the winter soldier, you soaked in the information, attempting to google him but coming up with almost nothing.

“hm, so you want me to do what, exactly” you questioned, looking at the trio staring back at you.

“fight with us, help us, we have to stop HYDRA” Steve spoke, looking at natasha before continuing, “i don’t know who to trust and” he sighed, “we know we can trust you, are you in?”

You smiled, getting up and pulling the three in for a hug, sams eyes going wide.

“of course I’m in, i care about you guys too much to let you die alone” you chuckled, pulling away, looking at Sam before speaking up, “no ones dying by the way, right?”

The four of you were on the rooftop, getting information out of Sitwell, laughing when natasha kicked him off.

“What about that girl from accounting, Laura?” Natasha spoke, looking at Steve as he thought about the woman’s name.

“Lillian! Lip piercing right?” Natasha nodded and Steve shook his head.

“yeah I’m not ready for that” you laughed at the two lightly.

“you should get with the time have a little fun!” You teased, Natasha smiling as you sided with her, nodding her head excitedly.

As Sam brought Sitwell back you began the interrogation, threatening to throw the man off for good is he didn’t start talking. Your eyes were steely and they let you handle him, getting all the information you needed.

“i didn’t know you could be so-” sam stopped, trying to find the right words.

“evil?” Natasha offered.

“terrifying?” Steve chuckled and Sam nodded.

“Insight launched in 16 hours” you spoke up, checking your phone, Natasha nodded speaking up after you, “we’re cutting it kinda close here.”

Steve looked ahead with furrowed brows nodding his head, “well use him to bypass the DNA scans and bypass the helicarriers directly.”

Sitwell scoffed next to you, blabbering on about you something, you rolled your eyes, going to say something when someone reached through the window and threw him out, your eyes going wide.

“what the fuck!” You screeched, looking up and seeing who you assumed was the winter soldier.

Your eyes were wide as you stared out the windshield, a tug in your chest as you saw him sliding across the concrete, steadying himself with his metal arm.

Natasha pulled her gun out, aiming at the man. A car rear ended you, pushing you forward and knocking your wind out. The soldier jumped atop the car, holding on tight as the truck behind you pushed you all foward.

Sam pressed on the breaks, trying to steer away from the other cars. A metal hand reached through the windshield and tore the steering wheel out from his grasp.

“shit!” Sam yelled, eyes wide as the car drove into another, Natasha reaching her gun and shooting in hopes of hitting the masked man.

Steve grabbed onto the three in the front, looking back at you with wide eyes.

“go!” You yelled, scrambling to open the door before the car crashed into the wall.

“hang on!” Steve called, jumping out, with you bracing yourself for the impact seconds after, you flew out the door, hitting the ground with a thud.

You ran to join natasha and Sam, ducking behind cars to avoid the bullets, finally pulling out your pocket knife and hitting one of the men in the chest, running again as they shot at you three even more.

You and natasha jumped down, holding onto her as she shot something under the bridge to swing from.

The two of you landed safely, you pointed to the shadow of the solider, running alongside her to shoot at the man.

You both aimed and fired, hitting his giggled and causing him to turn back. You let out a sigh, hoping they would give you a minute to recover. You both ran for cover as he leaned back over, machine gun in hand and shooting wildly.

“fucks sake” you let out, breathless as you aimed to shoot back at him, running for cover once again, hiding behind the parked cars. Your eyes focusing on the bus steve had fallen into, relief flooding your body when you saw him jumping out and hiding behind the shield safely, eyes moving to the highway and seeing Sam shooting from above.

“I’m gonna leave this recording here, ill sneak up behind him and then you try and get him, we can double team him” Natasha spoke, you nodded, letting her record the memo before setting it down and running.

Your heart raced as you saw the soldier approach the vehicle, waiting for the right moment to strike. As Natasha ran to tackle him from behind you noticed the amount of people still around you, the explosion next to you sending people flying.

“shit” you mumbled, running to help them as Natasha held her own.

“get out of the way! Run! Get out of here” you yelled, pointing at those in frenzy to run in the opposite direction, you glanced over your shoulder, Natasha being thrown into a car.

As you turned to help her you noticed a little girl crying, alone. You debated for a second before running up to her, taking her in your arms and handing her off to some random adult who was fleeing.

Natasha had messed the man arm up, joining her in her sprint as you all yelled for people to move and to take cover. You heard the whirl of a bullet and natasha groan, doubling over next to a car.

“take of her!” Steve yelled, holding off the soldier. You let eyes were wide, putting pressure on Natasha wound and looking around.

“you’re gonna be fine” you told her, looking into the car and breaking the window with your elbow, opening the compartment in the passengers seat and smiling when you found a first aid kit.

“come on” you mumbled, moving her gently and cleaning the wound, doing your best with what little you had. You tried to bandage her, the sound of the bullets hitting Steve’s shield making your hands shake.

“go help them, I’ll be fine” Natasha groaned out, you hesitated before nodding, running to where Steve was.

You hid behind a car, watching as he shoved a knife into a van, barely missing Steve’s head.

You jumped from behind the car as Steve reached to grab his shield, hitting the metal armed man, you used your body weight to twist him back.

Visions flashed in your eyes, quick flashes of a man with a charming smile and beautiful blue eyes. The sound of laughter echoing in your ears as the mask fell besides you. You saw the two of you cuddled up on a couch, you saw two two of you watching a sunset while on a picnic, giggles falling from your mouth.

Bucky saw it too, his mind flashing with pictures of a life he didn’t recognize, seeing you, his mission in them. He saw you cuddled at his side, he saw you on a stage together singing with lyrics on a screen, he saw the two of you rescuing a white cat from the rain. Bucky saw you holding out a present for him, a bright smile on you face, he saw you throwing flour at him in a kitchen, cookies baking in an over.

He stayed on the ground, memories who he used to be flooding his mind, hope of who he could become clouding his judgement.

Tears brimmed in his eyes as he looked up at you, standing in front of Steve with an equally shocked look on your face.

“it’s you” you breathed out, your heart tugging in your chest as your eyes met his blue ones, they were cloudy and they were broken but god, you already loved them.

“it’s you” he whispered. A year rolling down his face before HYDRA agents surrounded you all.

“Bucky?” Steve spoke, finally getting a good look at the man.

The super soldier stayed quiet, panic in his eyes and he looked at you, setting his weapon down. You made a move to run to him, but Sam flew in, knocking him feet away from you, Natasha soon launching a grenade.

“no!” You screamed, running to where he was. He was gone.

“No! Please i just found him no!” You cried, sinking to you knees, Sam ran over to you, holding you tightly as you sobbed, agents surrounding the four of you and telling you all to get down on your knees.

You sobbed into sams chest, only leaving his embrace when the agents ripped you from him.

Buckys eyes were wide as he sat in the chair, his heart racing as he recalled your face, your hair. He recalled the flashes he saw, his future with you.

He had something to hold onto, he had something to fight for, someone to survive for. He thought about the man who was next to you, he was familiar, he was in his old memories.

Buckys mind raced, knowing they would wipe his memories, he soaked in every last detail, praying he could hold onto to what he had after they wiped him.

He could hold onto you, his hope.

[sapphire-innit]

I'm not gonna apologize for there being a break because this is a hobby and I do this at my own pace lol. THAT SAID, let's hop back in!

Vod: Tommy's Exile Is Coming To A Close (rp) oh man here's the drowning again. At least Ranboo and Niki are greeting him in chat that's cute

of COURSE its raining lol, very Moody

...don't like that Tommy is actually looking forward to Dream visiting. The gaslighting is really setting in. He's not eating enough either

Tommy's always moving around, he's such an active character, so it REALLY hits when he freezes, even just for a moment or two. Yes this is in response to the funny Lazerbeam lava death comment that somehow turned very sad very quickly lol

He's very openly talking about his death too. And his skin is even worse I think, hes got SUCH bags under his eyes.. and ALSO THIS IS STILL HIM TALKING ABOUT HOW TO SEX 3 afdfd

Chat: "This is so sad and so funny at the same time" I saw that smirk cc!Tommy, you know exactly what you are doing!! LOL he broke face for juuuust a second cause that's EXACTLY the tone he's going for

I am a bit .. concerned about HTS3, because so far every time hes tried to write things down, its hmm. Been revealing to say the least

...I'm still nervous about when Dream is gonna log on, even while he's going on about the 'thinking palace'. Its... impressive how much I actually dread that, and how well they've conditioned me to expect it

adfsfdsfds Ranboo how did I laugh at that '''joke''' omg. Tommy was so happy to get mail though :( and yeah like I thought every time he tries to write things it gets sad. It's a really good storytelling device: cc!Tommy is using it to be more explicit and I think that's pretty clever actually

I can't help but wonder how carefully coordinated these exile streams are, especially this deep into the arc. Like, did cc!Tommy go on the discord before this and tell them to not visit today? Obviously Dream visits are coordinated, but I'm just a bit curious about the back end of things

"Visit Techno? no no, what would Dream think" >:(

"I wanna go and see someone, I wanna go somewhere, I wanna meet people. You know now and then it just re hits me that I actually, I actually just can't, can I" ;-;

He's self-soothing and it hurts

"My time with Tubbo has come and gone" "He chose against it" excuse me, just CRYING FOREVER NOW ;-; ;-; ;-;

...it really is disturbingly like a suicide note isn't it, with all this talk of it being his final thing to do

The days when he's not visited really set in the depression don't they? cc!Tommys still good at balancing the tone so it doesn't get too sad but SHEESH

Tommy's gotten pretty good at building actually, like he's not perfect or anything but the thinking palace looks pretty good for what it is

Its actually been half the stream without Dream thank fuck

...he's thinking about it, about going into the nether portal. GOD I'm so worried and upset because I DON'T want to see what Dream would do if he broke his exile, even knowing he wouldn't kill him most likely.

"Why did I do this, why did I make it harder for people to come visit me" !!! ahhhh realization of self-destructive tenancies fuck, and just after he almost visited L'manburg tooooo

"I'm going to revamp this, why did I do this???" *Immediately stares into the lava for SEVERAL seconds* f u c k

"Chat what is Tubbo's favorite block" Aaaaaaaaaaaa

:( :( Ranboo IMMEDIATELY willing to help WE STAN A TOMMY STAN

the fuckign GHASTS I'M!! what a tone switch!!! TOMMY WHY DO YOU NOT HAVE A BOW I MEAN I KNOW WHY BUT STILL afdfdf

those fucking jumps in the path scare me and now there's a HOLE IN THE PATH this is so fucking DANGEROUS afdsfssdf someone is totally gonna fall in that

awww cc!Wilbur watching the stream even when hes away thats so sweet <3

"...and Ill put cobblestone in the middle and everyone will come see me!" does this feel like Bargaining to anyone else? Just me? alright...

"And then we fight, we fight for everything we have left" ;u;

NIKI!!!!!!

this is gonna go so poorly!!! I hate it!!! (also don't talk over her tho pls)

is Ranboo also in the chat? Ranboo & Niki friendship underrated for sure lol

"How have you been" "................good" you can see the decision to Lie omg adfsdf

ah actually getting a fire res potion BEFORE falling into lava, one can Hope

lol Ranboo and Niki having so much trouble getting back to spawn RIP them, FUNDY why did you take them so far away and then LEAVE

"how can I be with other people and still be so alone" oof yeah thats the true bitch about what Dream's doing isn't it :(

adsfsdfsf accidentally almost getting himself banned from Twitch ALSO HOLY SHIT TOMMYYYY DON'T JUMP LIKE THAT OMG

also who the heck was chanting "do a flip" in chat holy shit what is this thirst for blood

lol asking RANBOO of all people for hot takes adfsafdf

ohnoooo almost twitch ban NUMBER 2 aadfdfws

also who the fuck was spamming nsfw copy pasta in his chat adfsfd

LOL what is the drug conversation Niki is trying to do???? What is happening???? FUNDY WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM

"I feel too old to be in this conversation" MOOD NIKI, MOOD lmaooo I love you

adfdf Tommy how can you even be mean to Niki, shes so sweet and sounds so upset about it lol

do I even WANT to know what the Dream twitter drama was????

LOL always laugh when a cc bails out of a joke lmao its so funny to me for some reason

SHES RIGHT AND SHE SHOULD SAY IT!!!!!!!! BEST HOT TAKE, REDDIT SUCKS LMAOOO ABSOLUTELY CORRECT

he keeps almost spleefing Ranboo adfdsfs

aww lol he actually is being careful after being told off lmao ohnooooo "That was worse than the time Wilbur shouted at me for being in his office. It's like being told off by the quiet teacher" NIKI IS SO DISTRESSED omg adfdsfdswfds

I think cc!Tommy did not realize the power that he wields....

OH NIKI'S SKIN IS SO CUTE!!!!

"Just a really long cross, Jesus was tall!" omg Ranboo that was actually clever

"Do a flip" CHAT WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS

[twiceinadream]

“It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”

Requested: Yup

Request: Mina and her wife celebrating their first Christmas together as a married couple.

a/u: Merry Christmas Eve for everyone who celebrates. I hope you enjoy my newly added addition to “Jiwoo can’t have Christmas without Mina” one shot collection. I hope you all have a great day, I love you all!

Category: Fluff and NSFW

Word Count: 1.9k

Having time off was rare for Mina, but since the company had granted her some extra time this Christmas as a marriage present for you and her. Which you were both determined to make the most of, since it was only seven in the morning and Christmas music was already blaring from every speaker in your house as you and Mina dragged the Christmas tree in from the garage. Letting out a sigh as you set down the tree in the living room, wiping your brow as Mina poked your side playfully.

“Out of shape already Y/N?” You pouted at your wife.

“Am not! You made me carry the bottom half of the tree, which is heavier from the top.” Your small outburst brought a smile to the Japanese girl’s face as she hugged your side.

“I’m teasing baby, you know I love you.” You rolled your eyes in an attempt to feign annoyance but gave in the second you saw Mina’s puppy dog eyes.

Sighing as you melted into her arms, placing a peck on her lips as she smiled, “I love you too. But we should get to work, this tree isn’t gonna decorate itself.” Your wife nodded in agreement as she started heading back to the garage.

“Right you are Y/N-ah. Now set up the tree while I get the ornaments.” You shook your head as you began setting up the stand for the pine that was now going to occupy your living room for the next few weeks.

“Yes ma’am.”

—

-Later that Evening-

Most of the day had been filled with hanging and even breaking a few ornaments in your guy’s haste to win decorating your sides of the tree the fastests which ended with Mina coming out on top since she never backed down from a challenge. Even if it was you, her wife. It only made her ever more competitive.

But she made up for it by tackling you in a hug and pressing fluttering kisses along your cheeks as she murmured how “close” you were to beating her. Which just seemed as her excuse to continue to gloat on her win.

“I could still divorce you, you know.” You said jokingly as you and Mina stood side by side in the kitchen, cookie dough between the both of you as you kneaded it carefully.

Your wife let out a scandalized gasp, “You would never L/N Y/N.” You quirked an eyebrow at her.

“Wanna bet L/N Mina?” In response your wife threw flour at you as you reeled back in shock, “You are so on!”

Mina giggled as she danced around the kitchen island, avoiding your attempts at returning her flour attack as you both painted your kitchen white. Flour and cookie dough laid in splotches all over the counter and cabinets as the food fight finally settled down. Laughter filling the room as you both finally got the cookies in the oven, “We’re a mess.”

You rolled your eyes at your wife’s blatant statement, “Well you started it.”

“And I also finished it.” She stuck her tongue out as you washed your arms in the sink, “I think we should shower.” At the mention of shower your eyes were immediately drawn to your wife’s butt making her shake her head. “Separately, Y/N. I don’t want our house smelling like burnt cookies if we get...side tracked.”

You purse your lips in thought, “Then just wait for them to be done. I promise I’ll make it worth your while.” The teasing glint in your eyes was more than enough to have your wife convinced as she sighed in defeat.

Leaning next to you on the island as you both watched the cookies bake, “I’ll hold you to that.” You turned as you placed a kiss to her temple.

“I hope you do.”

—

-Half an Hour Later-

You tried your best to keep your hands to yourself for the rest of the twenty minutes it took for the cookies to bake. The timer on the oven going off was a godsend as you and Mina carefully set the cookies out on the rack to cool then hastily making your way upstairs to the bedroom.

Before either of you could put a lot of thought into what was happening you had already taken Mina’s sweater off and threw it to the floor as she was working you out of your sweats. Laughter filling the air as the two of you undressed each other, stumbling into the bathroom as you turned on the shower.

You wrapped your arms around Mina’s waist, reaching one hand out to grab the rag that sat on the side of the shower caddy. Lathering it in soap and began passing it along Mina’s body, down to her hip, stopping to gently massage the area. Mina sighed softly and leaned her head back against your body, reaching a hand up to play with stray strands of your hair.

A teasing smile took over Mina’s face as she turned around in your arms, “You should follow up on that promise.”

“Now? In the shower? Where we could slip and die?” You asked dramatically, causing your wife to laugh. A sound you don’t think you could ever hear enough of.

“Please, Y/N. You promised.” Mina pouted as she gave you her best puppy dog eyes as she pressed her lips to yours, her arms crossing behind your neck to bring you closer into the kiss. You gladly returned the kiss, your hands finding their way to the Japanese girl's waist after you tossed the rag back on the caddy.

"Tell me what you need," You whispered the moment Mina pulled back from their kiss. The Japanese girl chewed on her bottom lip, eyes darkening with desire as she took your hands and guided them just below her breasts.

"I need you to stop playing games and just take me already."

That comment alone made you growl, your blunt nails digging into unmarred skin as you gently dragged them up, over her nipples, and up to her neck.

"Are you sure?"

Mina nodded and next thing she knew, she was being pushed against the wall, lips hungrily finding their way across her skin. She let out a choked gasp at the pleasure that danced along her neck and collarbone. She felt the lips begin their descent to her chest before she felt teeth gently tugging at her pink buds, each getting equal amounts of attention.

You kept her eyes on your wife’s face the whole time, watching her reaction with each action you performed. Noticing the small details, the way her eyebrow twitches, the small hitches in her breath whenever you passed a hand over her abdomen, and even the twitching of her fingers as if she itched to hold onto you. As you stood back up and turned Mina around, slowly pushing her forward until the Japanese girl was bent over, hands braced against the glass shower door.

She was about to ask what you were gonna do until she felt a hand snake its way between her legs, gently petting her between her legs, while the other arm wrapped around her middle. A soft moan left Mina as a small wave of pleasure coursed through her body. You smirked and bent over Mina as you began rubbing Mina's clit with varying speeds and pressure, each gesture earning a different sound. Mina whimpered, moving her hips in an attempt to get you to touch her further.

"Tell me what you want, and I might give it to you, babygirl."

Your wife sighed softly and quietly begged. "Y/N, please. I need you in-oh fuck...right there, yes!"

You had taken the moment to swiftly slide a finger into her girlfriend, immediately curling your finger to reach the one spot that made Mina cry out. It only took a few more thrusts for Mina to quietly beg for another finger to be added, to which you gladly obliged.

Mina's back arched and her moans became louder as she panted and gasped at the feeling of her lover's fingers inside of her. It had been a good while since she felt like this. You leaned down and bit down onto Mina's right shoulder, your free hand coming to run your fingers along Mina's lips.

"You're being so good for me, Minari. You feel amazing around my fingers. I bet it feels even better for you, doesn't it, babygirl?"

"Babe...I..I’m about to cum...harder, please, Y/N!"

You chuckled and gently pressed your middle and ring fingers to Mina's lips, slipping between them the moment the international star parted them. She had to bite down on them when a particularly hard thrust against her front wall almost made her scream. She was close and you could tell, as you doubled your efforts. You could almost see your guy’s reflection in the glass, barely making out the blush across Mina's face, her eyes closed as she moaned.

It didn't take too long for Mina to go quiet before she cried out your name as waves of pleasure rocked her body. She hung her head, one hand gripping the arm around her waist, the other forming a fist against the glass; she would usually have some piece of fabric to grasp. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes with how hard her orgasm had hit her and she was glad you were there to catch her when her legs gave out.

Your fingers running through her hair carefully brought her back to her surroundings. As you had moved the two of you to sit on the floor of the bathtub while she recovered from her high.

“Earth to Mina. You okay?” Your voice was laced with concern as you moved to turn off the water raining down on your bodies from the shower. Your wife’s labored breaths slowly evening out as she rested her head against your chest.

“Wow, that was just...wow.” Mina let out a dazed laugh as you placed a kiss to her crown.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it baby. Now let me get you cleaned up.”

—

The night’s activities had finally died down as you and Mina cuddled on the couch. Wrapped in too many blankets as a Christmas movie played on quietly in the background. Neither of you were really watching as your guy’s attention was focused outside the window, watching the snow flurry down as the fire roared in the hearth.

In that moment you suddenly felt your heart swell slightly, like this was one of those moments in your life that felt too perfect to be real. And sometimes you had to pinch yourself to be sure as you glanced down to the weight against you, Mina’s back on your front as you suddenly wrapped your arms around her. Nuzzling your nose into her neck.

“What’s gotten into you Y/N-Chan?” Her tone was soft as she turned her head to place a kiss on your cheek.

“Nothing. I’m just happy.” Your wife smiled at your words as she leaned back further into your embrace. Her right hand subconsciously played with the band she promised to wear on her left hand for as long as she lived.

“I’m glad, Y/N-ah. It’s beginning to look a lot more like Christmas now that we’re together.” Mina grabbed your left hand out of the blanket as she placed a kiss on your ring. “Officially that is.”

You smiled softly as you moved back holding your wife, the lights of the tree danced in her eyes. It looked like billions of unexplored galaxies that you would spend your lifetime searching through, “I couldn’t agree more my love.”

[lilchibi-chan]

Hewwo! How r u doing??🧐 I would like to ask for a little something where the reader is easily distracted and goes off the path (chasing a butterfly, seeing a dog, etc...) and the boy doesn’t notice until later. 🥰🥺 The bois: Todoroki, Kirishima, and Shinso (BNHA/MHA) ✨✨

Aww I love this! This is so cute! I will try my best for you 🥺

Todoroki

It’s Friday evening and you are on your way home from UA because you wanted to go home for the weekend and Todoroki decides to go with you being the protective boyfriend he is.

It’s spring and the cherry blossoms have just bloomed. The path you’re walking is lined with cherry blossom trees. You stop to take in the soft pink petals, but Shouto doesn’t notice until he reaches the end of the path and sees that you’re not next to him.

He freaks out thinking someone might’ve taken you when he wasn’t watching or maybe you just went off to a convenience store or something. He decided to walk back up the path, asking any and everyone if they had seen you, showing them pictures of you, saying how tall you are, etc.

He finally makes it to where you were, hair sticking to his forehead since he basically ran the whole time.

You were standing under the trees, slowly spinning as the petals fell into your hands. You felt like you were in your own little world, like you were a fairy and you could stay in this moment forever.

You hadn’t noticed him standing there yet, but he was watching as you twirled beneath the flower petals, falling like snow around you. He took out his phone and started recording you and snapped a few pictures. You looked so beautiful to him in this moment and he wanted to capture if forever. The way the sun shone on your skin and your warm smile melted him and he realized just how much he loves you in that moment.

When you finally notice him standing there, you feel your cheeks heat up and you know instantly that you’re blushing.

He makes his way over to you and grabs your hand in his. He looks at them and smiles for a moment. He pulls you close to his chest and kisses you on your forehead.

“I love you...y/n”

You look up at him surprised because his words caught you off guard, but hearing them made you happy, so the as quick as the shock hit is as quick as it left and you just smiled from ear to ear.

You hug him and nuzzle your face into his chest.

“I love you too, Shouto”

You both walk up the path, this time he’s hold your hand and make your way to your house where dinner is already waiting.

Kirishima

It’s summer vacation and your family has decided to go to the beach house that has been in your family for decades. They tell you to invite Kirishima along and whoever else you wanted to come along since there was enough room. It was a private beach, so you basically had it to yourselves whenever your family did go there for whatever reason, whether it be a small gathering or just wanting to get away from the city for a little bit.

When you reach, everyone unpacks and you decide to head down to the beach with Mina, Yaoyorozu and Uraraka. Denki, Kirishima, Bakugou, Sero and Deku all meet you on the beach a little afterwards. You all swim for a while and play games, until your dad decides to barbecue. Once everything is taken off the grill, you all eat together. Your mom bought fireworks and sparklers for you all to end the night with and celebrate your first day on the beach.

After all the festivities are over, you all head inside to rest for the night, but you and your friends decided to have a mini sleep over in the living room and watch movies. You cuddled with Kirishima on the couch while the rest of your friends took the floor. You all end up falling asleep in the middle of the second movie that was put on. You wake up around 3:30 to the tv still being on. You get up to turn it off then realize you can’t fall back asleep. You decide to go out and take a walk along the beach to calm yourself to the sound of the waves. You notice that the waves are glowing due to the bioluminescent krill in the water and you become so entranced that you take a seat on the rocks to watch the beautiful sight before you.

Kiri wakes up an hour later and pops up when he realizes you’re not next to him anymore. He carefully gets up, so that he doesn’t hurt any of the sleeping people on the floor and makes his was upstairs to see if you decided to go up to your room. The thought made him sad, but he could understand if your bed was more comfortable than the couch. He opened the door quietly, as to not wake your parents and saw that your bed was untouched. He decided to make his way to the balcony on the second floor to think about where you could’ve gone. Something told him to use the telescope that was on the balcony and he searched for you along the beach. He finally saw that you were on the far end by the rocks, sitting on them. He made his way back down the stairs, again quietly, and made his way along the beach to get to you. He took a blanket with him, just in case you would be cold.

“Hey pebble,” he says with a soft smile, startling you a bit

“Hey,” you say with a soft smile back

“I’m sorry I scared you,” he says with laughter in his voice,“but you can just consider it a little bit of pay back since I woke up and you weren’t there.” He finished, taking a seat next to you.

“Sorry about that,” you say blushing

“Why are you sitting here anyways?” He asked curious

“Well, I can show you better than I can tell you,” you say picking up a flat rock, then skimming it across the water to reveal the plankton

“Woah, that’s so cool, pebble. I see why you stayed here so long,” he says smiling his big smile

“How long have I been out here,” you ask, kinda freaking out

“Little over an hour,” he says smiling

“We should probably head back before my parents wake up,” you say about to get up

“Wait,” he says stopping you,“five more minutes, then we can go back.”

You nod and he takes a seat next you and wrapping the blanket around both of your shoulders.

After the five extra minutes, you both head back to the beach house, cuddle on the couch and go back to sleep.

Shinso

Shinso and you are out for a picnic date that you had planned for a while. The weather is warm and sunny, not a cloud in the sky. You make it to forest/site you wanted to have the picnic and it’s even more perfect than you imagined. There’s the perfect canopy to sunlight ratio and you’re not too far from the river, causing there to be a comfortable coolness in the air. You set down the blanket and Shinso put some rocks on the corners, so that it wouldn’t lift up in the wind blew. You both start unpacking the basket and you realize you forgot the drinks in the car. You offer to run and go get it, but he protests.

“I’ll get it, kitten. You stay here, I’ll be right back,” he says leaving you there by yourself.

A couple of minutes pass and you start to hear rustling in the bushes. You were definitely a little frightened, but waited to see if anything would come out before you just to any conclusions or scared yourself by jumping to said conclusions.

Just then a bunny comes out and it’s limping. You slowly crawl over to it, as to not scare it.

“It’s okay, I’m not gonna hurt you cutie. I just wanna help.”

You continue to slowly crawl toward it, extending your hand so that it can get used to your scent. Once it finally puts its guard down, your able to pick it up. You figured it’s borough couldn’t be too far from where you were since it came this way. You decide to walk off, eyeing the ground for any holes.

When Shinso finally returns to your picnic area, he sees that you’re not there. He decides to call for you, but receives nothing. He decides to take the path you took, not knowing that it’s the way you went, but something inside him told him to go that way.

After a few minutes of walking, he decides to try calling for you again. The first time he receives nothing, causing worry to start building. He walks up some more and tries again.

“Y/N!!”

“Over here!”

He walkruns over to the direction he heard your voice come from.

“Shh,” you say, so that he wouldn’t startle the rabbit in your arms. He makes his way over to you slower. You tell him what happened and he helps you find the bunny’s home.

You finally find the borough at the bottom of a tree. You decide it might be best to back away and let the bunny hop in on its own. You crouch down and Shinso follows. You set the bunny on the ground and it’s hesitant to head home.

“Go ahead, it’s okay,” you say encouraging it

The bunny takes a couple hops before fully going for it and going home. You decide to capture this moment by snapping a couple of pictures. While you’re busy doing that, Shinso just admires you and smiles.

“Ready,” you say smiling and catching him off guard

“Y-yeah, lets go,” he says blushing

You both make it back to your picnic and enjoy the food and snacks that were packed.

All of a sudden it starts to rain. You both hurriedly pack everything and try to find shelter somewhere.

You come across a shed and decide to knock in the door. An older woman opens the door.

“Hello ma’am, is it okay if we stay here. It’s just started raining out of nowhere and we don’t have an umbrella,” you say nicely and slightly apologetic

“Of course dears. Come in.”

You and Shinso do as she says and she lights a fire for you both to sit by. She also supplies you with a blanket and leaves to make tea for you both. Shinso wraps the blanket around both of you and he can see that you are shivering a little, so he moves closer to you, causing you to blush.

“Kitty,” he says, grabbing your attention

“Yes”

“I’m sorry the picnic got ruined,” he says apologetic

“It didn’t get ruined,” you say with laughter in your voice,“this was the best day ever.”

“R-really,” he asks expectantly

“Yes, we helped a bunny find its way home and we did still get to enjoy the picnic, it’s just got cut short and that’s okay, cause I got to spend the whole day with you.”

“This is why I love you, kitty. Your so good and optimistic. You see the great in every situation. I wish I could do that more. You’re so perfect and I-I don’t want to lose you.”

“You’re not gonna lose me and you’re perfect too. Maybe not perfect to you, but perfect to me and that’s the most important thing,” you say smiling

He pulls you in and kisses you softly and full of love.

The rain finally clears and you thank the woman for her hospitality. Shinso drives you to your house and before you exit he grabs your hand and kisses it. Then he pulls you in and kisses your lips. He watches you enter your house and then drives off.

I hope you enjoyed. Thank you again for submitting and keeping my asks active. You always give me something new and I really appreciate you letting my imagination run wild (more than it already does). 💖🥺

So very excited to share this! It’s a playlist for my upcoming Free! fic, This Heart of Mine, the rewritten sequel to Eyes Wide Open All the Time. You can listen to the playlist on YouTube; this list simply helps define who or what a song represents to me. This list also includes some lyrics that you may want to pay special attention to.

He doesn’t want to play co-parent if Rosie is going to be snatched away from him and placed in the arms of whatever nameless woman du jour John lands on next. He doesn’t want to keep being so careful, so generous, so, so…

The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience.

The dim light of the moon barely allowed Sherlock to see the glassy terror in John’s eyes and the sweat that glistened off his forehead.

There was no recognition there, just wild animal fear. Time stood still for an eternal few seconds, and Sherlock took a shaky breath. “John—”Spell broken, John spun and bolted back into the woods.

[sierracolorstheworldofwords]

Hello! I wanted to request a Yan imagine? I love the way you write for him so much :)! I don’t have many ideas for a plot or anything, so maybe you could do something self-indulgent, if you know what I mean? Like something you wanna do :)

An: I almost made a self insert lol, but I still plan to do that bc u kno what? Sometimes I need it in my life! :D Also thank you so much for reading my stories and especially for complimenting my writing on Yan! I always worry about how I write about him, and that I don’t do his character justice, so Im glad I do :3 Also, Im really sorry for this taking so long! My mental health hasn’t been the best and I’ve been busy a lot during the past month or so, so yea! But please request again soon! I really enjoyed writing for this one when I finally got to it. I also made sure to make it very self indulgent by making it super fluffy and set on my fav season, so I hope you enjoy it! :D 

Being with Yan was like floating in a pink sky full of fluffy white clouds, or being wrapped up in a blanket. The way he held you--his arms wrapped firmly around your waist as the day cascaded itself in a coat of raindrops, adorned with scarves made from tree branches--was so comforting, warm and tight. A content sigh fell from your lips as you looked out the window, saying nothing, just letting yourself watch the rain. Everything was right in the world, even if it was cold outside. You turned away from the cloudy landscape and towards Yan’s bare chest and closed your eyes again, wondering if this was a dream, but it couldn’t be. You felt his warm skin against yours, and you even placed your ear against his chest, listening to the soft thump of his heart. 

He always treated you like you were a fragile, valuable doll, and it always made your heart melt. Even his darker tendencies made you feel loved, though more often than not, you had to soothe his jealousy by smothering him in affection. It almost made you feel guilty, sometimes, about how jealous he got, and how much you loved the attention he gave you, but you couldn’t help it! He freely gave, and you received, before giving back, which just made him give more. 

You wanted to stay in bed, but you knew you had to get up if you wanted to treat him to breakfast, you unwound yourself from him, sitting up and stretching before going to the kitchen with a yawn, and putting milk on the stove, so the hot cocoa you planned to make would be cool enough to drink by the time breakfast was ready. 

 Yan awoke soon after you left, and took a sleepy moment  to listen to the pitter-pattering of the rain across the roof and to the raindrops tapping on the windows, flooding the world with the song of water hitting the earth. Trees, barely hanging on to fire colored leaves, became soaked in the storm, and as he heard thunder softly rumble in the distance, he couldn’t help but crave your warmth, wondering why you left him! He didn’t snore too loudly did he? 

 He pouted, feeling a little down, and shuffled out of the nest of blankets and pillows, and went to look for you, he checked the restroom first, and then went down the hall, to hear you shuffling in the kitchen, humming. He went towards the noise, and saw you making hot cocoa, about ready to make breakfast. He could already see your little set up, and he wasn’t about to let you do it! It was too early and he wanted cuddles! 

“Seeeenpaaai!” he entered the comfortable kitchen, decorated with a mix of knick knacks and art prints, “come cuddle with me!” You felt your cheeks flush as you stirred the milk, making sure the chocolate was dissolved, before turning to him, smiling, “I can’t Yan-Yan! I'm making cocoa! And I'm gonna make banana pancakes!” He pouts, before coming behind you, and wrapping his arms around your waist, nuzzling into your neck, “I’d give up hot cocoa and pancakes for the rest of my life to just cuddle with you all day!” You giggled, watching the milk start to boil as he kissed your neck and cheek, cooing, “I love cuddling with you so, so much! I could cuddle with you all day, senpai! For the rest of my life-- well, I-I plan to, you know, because I’ll never leave you, but I could I would just stay in bed all day cuddling you, loving you, kissing you!”

You felt your cheeks getting hotter as he said that, and couldn’t help but smile, leaning in close to him, before noticing that the hot cocoa was ready. 

“Oh! It’s ready!” 

Yan unwrapped his arms from around you, regretfully, of course, watching as you ladled two mugs of hot cocoa and turned off the stove, before handing one to him.

 “Thank you senpai!” You couldn’t help but smile, “Your welcome, now let me make pancakes--” He grabbed your free hand, “Please come back to bed senpai!” he gave you puppy eyes, pouting, acting all cute, making your heart melt. “But Yanny, I have to make breakfast!” “Oh you could always make it later! But we should cuddle now, my love, there’s no point in getting up early..” You smiled at that, looking up at him, “Come on senpai! It’s so nice and rainy, and we have hot cocoa, and a comfy bed! And I know you want to! So come cuddle with me!” “Alright, alright!” you chuckled, causing Yan to cheer and lead you to the bedroom, still holding your hand in his as he did. 

After a walk down the hall, Yan rushed into the room,placing his cup on the nightstand before  jumping onto the bed, giggling, and you couldn’t help but let yourself admire him, watching him smile as he looked at you, his cheeks an adorable shade of red as you strolled in, placing your cup next to his and climbing into his lap, he smiled and grabbed the fluffy comforter, wrapping it around the both of you. 

“We should drink that cocoa before it gets cold, Yan-Yan..” “Mm..” he murmured, before wrapping his arms around your waist, “we will.” he reached over and grabbed your mug, giving it to you, before grabbing his. 

God, you loved him. Especially in moments like these, where it was just the two of you, staring into each other’s eyes, you could see the little flickers of red in his eyes, and the small details of his face, the freckles, birthmarks, and other small lovely imperfections. He could see the same for you, and he loved it. He leaned in, giving you a peck on the lips, before blowing on his cup, and taking a sip. 

“You make the best hot cocoa senpai!” he cooed. “I think you just think it’s the best cause I made it!” “Well, yes, but also, because it is the best hot cocoa! You make it with love!” “Well, that’s true, but I think yours is much better Yan-Yan!” “No, yours is!” “No, yours!” you laughed, not being able to contain your smile. “I will tell you for the rest of my life that your cocoa is better!” “And I’ll tell you for the rest of my life that yours is better!” “Senpai!” “Yan!” “Why can’t you just agree with me?” he pouted. “Because if I did, I wouldn’t have cute little arguments about who makes the best cocoa.” you replied, your eyes warmer than the blankets you both lay in, “And I wouldn’t see you pout, you look so cute when you do!” He blushed as he always did when you gave him compliments, and you took the opportunity to kiss him, causing his cheeks to almost get as red as his hair. 

“God, I love you so much, Yan.” 

“I love you too, senpai, forever and always.” “Forever and always.” you whispered, giving him another kiss, before drinking the rest of your cocoa, he did the same, and afterwards, you both put your cups on the floor, and hunkered down, exchanging chocolate flavored kisses, filling the room up with warmth, midst the cold autumn storm.

I’m actually kinda super proud of this so please if you like it reblog or favorite, even comment!

I love and appreciate any feedback I get! Thank you!

Enjoy!

—————————————

The rain drowned your clothes as you ran down the street, your tears mixing in with the rain as it poured down your face. The wind smacked into you, the chills it sent through your bones only stung for a second, your thoughts having no time to focus on the pain.

Arriving to the one place you could retreat to, you run up to the front door. Your hand paused in its attempts to place a knock upon the door, your thoughts running wild but, you didn’t get the chance to do anything as the door opened In front of you.

“y/n?”

His voice calmed the storm of thoughts within your mind, your breathing slowed as you gazed up to the man In front of you.

“y/n. What happened? It’s freezing, come in. I’ll get you a towel.”

His hand found your shoulder as he pulled you inside of his home, as he took notice of your shivering form, he rushed you to the bathroom.

“There’s a few towels in there, dry off. I’ll get you something warm to drink.” His voice retreated along with his footsteps as he closed the door to the bathroom. Sighing, you look around only for your heart to sink within your chest as you eye your reflection in the mirror.

Your eyes were red and puffy, your mascara left rather unsavory black stains trailing down your cheeks. The lipstick you had worn, now smudged across your lips, small bits of it washed away from the mix of rain and tears.

Shaking your head, you eye the towels on the rack next to the bathtub, grabbing one off the shelf you begin to strip the wet clothes off and place them on the counter. Hearing a knock on the door your body stiffens.

“I have dry clothes for you, would you like me to leave them out here for you?”

“Uh n-no, I’ll grab them.”

Wrapping the towel around your form you crack open the door and you peak to stare at the man on the other side. Todoroki stood there with a handful of clothes in his arms, he sends a small smile to you and hands you the clothes. Giving him a soft thank you, he turns to walk away and you close the door.

Slipping into the clothes you can’t help but catch scent of his cologne, the soft smell of a fresh fire made a soft heat set in your cheeks. A smile began to make its way onto you lips as you began to dry your hair, it felt as if everything that happened before was already lost to the wind.

Wrapping the towel over the tub leaving it to dry, you take your wet clothes then leave the bathroom and head to his living room.

A very familiar voice stopped you in your tracks.

“Yo IcyFuck, is she over there with you?”

“Why is that of any concern to you?”

“She’s my fucking girlfriend you- “

“I don’t think the look on her face when she arrived at my doorstep, dripping wet from the rain, can say the same.”

“Give her the fucking phone.”

With a heavy sigh he ends the call. Which caused a soft giggle to leave your lips, but, knowing that Bakugo had called him, it made your heart sink. Taking a deep breath, you call out to Todoroki.

“H-hey, uh do you have a bag I can put these in?”

“Give them to me, I’ll put them in the Dryer for you.”

“What? Oh no, its alright you don’t have to!”

“Please allow me to at least dry them for you.”

A smile found its way onto your lips as you hand the clothes to him, as he disappears into the hallway you make your way to the couch.

Sitting down you eye the cup on the coffee table, the steam coming from the cup and the rather amazing smell that also came from it warmed your heart. As you took the cup from the table, you took a small sip of the drink. The taste of chocolate and cinnamon hit your mouth, the most delicious blend that you’ve tasted, The perfect ratio of ingredients as well.

“Do you like it?”

His voice brought you from your thoughts, turning you send him a large smile as you took another sip.

“It’s Delicious Todoroki. Thank you.”

“Of course.”

His voice still held that level of monotone that you found somewhat comforting, yet, it now held a tone you couldn’t really figure out. It left your stomach doing flips, and your heart beat to thump in your chest.

Feeling the shifting of weight on the couch you turn to see Todoroki had taken a seat next to you, his own cup held within his hands. He leaned to the coffee table and grabbed the remote to the T.V.

He was quick to find a random channel for some minor background noise to fill the silence surrounding the both of you.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

Hearing him say that, it made you think.

Was what happened something really to be that upset over. You knew he wasn’t faithful, he always had ladies fawning over him. You kind of guessed it would happen after a while.

“I kind of thought it was gonna happen. I guess I was just a piece of ass to keep his food warm.”

“… Your butt can keep food warm…?”

“Oh my, NO Todo!” a laugh fell from your lips at his question.

“Well, I mean… they could since these cheeks are fire!” Laughter began to shake from you as Todoroki looked at you with the most confused expression you’ve ever seen.

As your laughter died down, you began to take a few more sips of your drink. The ringing of Todoroki’s phone brought your thoughts together and made you turn to look.

The screen blinking with the name of the man you’d rather forget even existed in your life, he stared down at the phone within his hand. He took a moment and declined the call, doing so he laid a hand onto yours, giving it a firm squeeze.

“You can stay as long as you need. I’ll make sure he doesn’t come around.”

Sending him a sad smile, you give his hand a squeeze and begin to sip on your drink once more. As the air in the room began to chill, it sent a shiver down your spine. Todoroki had noticed your shivers, he stood from his spot and began searching for a blanket, but as he did so his phone rang once again. The phones heavy buzzing sent it slowly rumbling around the table, hearing him groan he continued to search for a blanket.

You stared at his phone, the name ‘Bakugo’ blinked across the screen as the call was sent to voicemail, smiling as it did so you felt something drape over your shoulders. A fuzzy blanket was laid upon you, eyeing Todoroki as he walked around and sat back onto the couch.

“Whenever you’re ready for bed please, take mine. I’ll make myself comfortable on the couch.”

“U-Uh no no, it’s alright I’ll take the- “

“Please, I can’t let you sleep on the couch.”

Hearing the soft demanding tone lacing his words, you back down from the argument and smile against your cup.

“Alright.”

Pulling the blanket further around you, you nuzzle into the warmth. After a while, your eyelids begin to get heavy, yawning, you attempt to keep yourself awake. Only for your cup to be taken from you and a hand pop into your vision.

“Come on. I’ll take you to bed.”

Attempting to persuade him that you were wide awake, you send him a large smile, which he quickly states was rather forced and fake. Groaning at his words you take his hand and stand next to him as he begins to pull you to his bedroom, as he lets you walk through the door, the smell of his cologne hits you once more. Along with that, the smell of a fresh burning fire also hits your nose, making you smile as you walk to his bed.

Taking a seat, you giggle, beginning to softly jump against the mattress you can’t help but smile. The bed being rather springy left you with a large childish grin to glide across your lips, sending Todoroki a smile you noticed the red hue that dusted his cheeks. After your giggles died down you smile, laying across the bed, sighing at the feeling of the cool fabric of the comforter hitting the back of your neck.

“Please, Make yourself at home.”

As he turns to leave you send him a soft thank you, in which he turned and sent you a smile. A smile that made your cheeks heat up, and made your stomach flip once again.

He closes the door and you climb underneath the blanket, the size of the bed was incredibly large, yet the smell made you nuzzle and roll up in the covers. Though, the thoughts that began to plague your mind left you staring at the ceiling.

Why did you date Bakugo in the first place? You knew he wasn’t the most faithful type, yet you still fell for him, and you fell hard. You knew you were gonna be hurt but, you still fell for it. You fell for his lies; you fell for everything.

Todoroki was really the only one you could go to when things got tough, he was always a good person to talk to. He listened, and for being rather quiet, he gave incredible advice. Even during your years together at U.A , he may not have been the best person to go to at first, but over the years he opened up more.

You didn’t deny the fact that you found Todoroki attractive, but it was your relationship with Bakugo that kept you from him. You had good moments with him sure, but the bad outweighed the good.

Todoroki checked up on you often, it always seemed he took an interest in you. Whether it be just as friends or not.

Though, with sleep slowly overtaking you, one last thing went through your mind.

You didn’t know exactly what you felt at the moment, but you knew you needed time before you could figure out who or what you really needed in your life.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS WITH PRETTYMUCH (PRETTYBRUNCH Ver.)

A/N: this very quickly became nothing more than a glorified food fight. enjoy, i guess pfft

• there's just something about being with your best friend(s) that can turn the quietest, most shy individuals into the most extroverted people to walk the earth • ‎video chatting with friends has a similar effect, especially when you haven't seen the other party for an extended amount of time • ‎what happens when you combine these two events is nothing short of absolute c h a o s • ‎in this case, the convening pals are you and the prettymuch boys. you had been out of town for a few weeks and wanted to meet up with them when you returned home. they were quick to agree and arranged for you to come over the day following your return (that way you'd have a little bit of time to yourself to relax and unpack your bags) • ‎the friends that the boys are video chatting with?? why it's none other than the beanz • ‎well, I suppose instagram lives don't really count as video chatting but you know what I meAn. it's still a viable form of communication and the absolutely adore interacting with the fandom. life's just been kind of hectic lately and they haven't had the chance to do much of anything with the beanz • ‎now that things have slowed down a bit and one of their closest friends is finally back home, why not do a live?? they all agreed it would be fun and you truly felt as if it would be a nice change of pace, too; interacting with people you love and who love you after weeks upon weeks of nothing but hecticness and disarray sounded like the perfect way to unwind • ‎ after a brief discussion, it was decided that you were to come over later in the morning (not everyone woke up at the same time and having you come over a bit later in the day ensured everyone was awake while also being well-rested) and would help them make brunch • ‎it would give you plenty of time to talk and catch up • ‎,,,, plus, they needed extra help cooking. edwin and brandon had unofficially been placed in charge of handling meals when everyone decided to sit down and eat together and sometimes it got just the teensiest bit tiring • ‎the moment you walked in the front door, though, you could see that things weren't going to be quite as laid back as you had assumed • ‎things were already lively and loud, all of the boys (except for caleb, who had answered the door when you rung the bell) having congregated in the kitchen. • ‎austin and edwin we're talking animatedly amongst each other, trying to set up the live. they were experiencing a series of technical difficulties (that really boiled down to some simple changes in the settings of the former male's phone. brandon and nick had begun to poke through the fridge, mulling over what they wanted to eat for breakfast • ‎it very quickly grew from a peaceful conversation to a loud (albeit friendly) argument over what kinds of breakfast foods were better • ‎you figured it would be best to help settle things between brandon and nick before things escalated further and became a full-blown food fight before you could even start cooking so you scurried over to them first, kicking off your sandals and dropping your bag by the door • ‎when they couldn't come to a decision after another solid minute and a half of conversation, you chose for them • ‎you had been dying for one french toast waffles. pair it with some bacon, fresh fruit, and hash rows and bAm, a whole meal • ‎pleased with your judgment, their bickering quelled • ‎at least for the time being • ‎it wasn't long before austin and edwin began the live and the six of you settled into everything • ‎you, Edwin, and brandon had moved behind the counter to start cooking, caleb was currently tending to music, and austin and nick were reading and responding to the growing stream of comments that trickled in • ‎it was pleasant enough at first. all of you were talking merrily amongst each other and answering whatever questions and comments happened to catch your eye • ‎and then caleb changed the song • ‎the action in and of itself isn't one that would bring about any unpleasant consequences • ‎it was the song itself that was the issue • ‎everyone has a hype song. this one just so happened to be a m u t u a l hype song • ‎meaning the moment everyone recognized what was playing, all hell broke loose • ‎caleb was the first to succumb to the excitement of the song. he had been pretty quiet this far, but the vibrations of the bass sank their talons into his being. he began to mouth the words, then sing along, then scream along as he gradually shifted out of his seat and began to dance • ‎nick followed suit shortly thereafter • ‎hip roll nation™ • catch half the boys jumping around and yelling 'Aye AYe aYe aYE ayE!" at the top of their lungs • it's like a frat party without the booze and loud freshmen • ‎brandon swayed along to the beat, eyes fluttering shut as he raised the whisk in his hand up to his mouth so that he could use it as a makeshift microphone • ‎which is fun, sure, but probably not the brightest thing to do when said whisk was just in a bowl of waffle batter • ‎needless to say, the front of his shirt was now caked in the liquid • ‎did he notice, though?? of course not • ‎because now he's got a whole performance going on and he's putting everything he's got into it • ‎which means he's really bustin down now. he's singing at the top of his lungs, he's hitting those runs, he's whipping around and throwing it back • ‎this also means that he has flung copious amounts of batter all over?? everyone?? • ‎this goes unnoticed by most but lordy lordy, he managed to get some in caleb's hair and that is a federal offense • ‎you k n o w the moment he feels a glob of sticky flour land in his hair he's gonna throw whatever he gets his hands-on • ‎given that there's an open container of eggs laying nearby and they fit so perfectly in the palm of his hand, it only makes sense that one is going to be airborne • he's huffin' and puffin', eyes firey as he lets out an exasperated "I know you didn't just-" and yeets the egg • ‎nothing ever works out the way they're intended, though, so it doesn't hit his initial target • ‎no, no, of course, it didn't • ‎you know who it d i d hit, though? • ‎y o u • ‎and you know what you're wearing?? • ‎a brand new shirt that is hands down the most comfortable article of clothing you own • ‎and now its sticky and wet and smells absolutely horrid • ‎and you know what you feel now?? • ‎nothing but pure, unadulterated rage. the fire of one thousand suns is blazing through your veins and you want nothing more than r e v e n g e • ‎aight, it isn't that intense but you reacted before you had the opportunity to process what had happened and develop a proper plan of action • ‎so, yeah, you started throwing food back • ‎you didn't settle for an egg or a spoonful of waffle batter • ‎you peeled open the lid of the whipped cream container that rested on the counter and sunk your hand in, scooping out as much of the sticky substance as you possibly could • ‎and, unlike some people, y o u d i d n t m i s s • ‎meaning that caleb is getting a face full of that sugary goodness • ‎by this point, no one is really paying attention to the comments on the live anymore (which were going insane, by the way. if everyone who viewed the live got a dollar every time someone said "hit edwin with the banana," they'd be rich) • ‎it wasn't long before all six of you were engaged in a battle of sustenance • ‎in layman's terms, a food fight • ‎it was?? horrible?? • ‎for a solid ten minutes, there was nothing in the air but choked cries and mushy food • ‎austin had managed to crawl onto the bar and was raining food down on everyone (quite the feat, actually, given how tall he is. if the ceiling were much lower, you were sure his head would have scraped the top of it). brandon and edwin had abandoned their positions beside you in favor of hiding behind the cabinets • ‎when their wooden shields didn't offer up enough protection, they sought out the lids of pots and pans for extra assistance • ‎caleb had armed himself in the hopes of deterring anyone from coming at him with more food • ‎his weapon of choice?? the kitchen towel, which he had wound tightly and was flicking at people whenever they got too close or looked like they were taking aim at him • ‎nick had taken up residence under the sink, hoping to wait out the fight • ‎which took an exceptional amount of time • ‎it wasn't until you had gone through about half of the food in the refrigerator that most of you came to your senses and called a truce • ‎it took a bit longer for the others to follow suit (cough cough, caleb and brandon cough cough) but they sooner calmed down as well • ‎the six of you could do nothing more than part for a while, faces flushed and hearts thumping erratically • when you cast your gaze across the room to the five men that were still strewn about like forgotten socks, you couldn't do much more than laugh • it reverberated off the walls, making everyone's bones rattle as warm grins split across their faces • it wasn't long before they, too, began to laugh • everyone but nick, that is • when the loud cries that tore themselves from everyone's throats had subsided into joyous laughter and lighthearted banter, he quietly crawled out from under the sink and stood, brushing as much food off of his clothing as possible • "hey, guys?" he'd chime, brows furrowing and lips drawing themselves into a thin line • "what are we gonna do about breakfast?" • all of you shared a look before moving toward the front door • you could shower and change later, you decided. none of you had been given the chance to eat and food was a lot more important than a few stains • no one noticed that austin's phone had been left on the counter, nor that the live stream hadn't ended.

15 Underrated Girly Kpop Songs That Make Me Go Absolutely Feral

When it comes to girl groups, more than anything I am a Blackjack and Blink. I like to listen to girl songs that make me want to murder men (and believe me, that blog post is in the works). But I’m also a ONCE, as TWICE are my sweet darling babies, but they’re about as girly as I can tolerate. I’m not one for the super girly concepts. I mean, did you guys ever see MINX? Occasionally I ironically jam to Shakey Love Shakey Shakey Shakey Shakey Love, but it was an absolute blessing from the K-pop gods to rebrand them as Dreamcatcher. It’s really only the A-list girly songs I tolerate, like GFriend or Oh My Girl. Everything else below them just seems really cringy.

Except for a few chosen few that are so good that they make me absolutely lose all of my shits. And I’m talking about songs that nobody seems to know like at all. Either these songs came out when the groups were still under the radar, before they had their big smash hits, or they just never seemed to rise to the top. But they are still valid and important. Videos are linked in the song names, since Tumblr won’t let me add more than five videos, but here we go.

15. April- Dream Candy

April is one of those rare groups that pull off the girly concept so well but don’t ever seem forced, like they are just truly naturally sweet and pure and precious. Honestly all of their songs are great, and it’s tragic that they haven’t had a comeback in 2019. But their debut, Dream Candy, is the one that really gets deep in my soul to that animal part of my brain that makes me scream this god damn chorus. But only really at the end. I never really listened to this song until it came on shuffle one day when I was walking home in the rain, and thought, why not listen to this awkward girly song, and then the last chorus hit and OH MY GOD. It’s a good one guys.

14. Momoland- Jjan! Koong! Kwang!

So this song comes out by some unknown group called uh, Momoland?, with a title that is just a bunch of sounds that don’t exist in English, and I felt like I was the only one on Earth that was like, “This is fine.” I was honestly in some I Am Legend universe where instead of me being the only living person on Earth, I was the only one that liked Momoland’s debut. As time went on Momoland started putting out what is pretty much some of the worst K-Pop that exists (I mean, have you SEEN the video for Wonderful Love? Try not to cringe challenge) and sadly enough this group just faded into obscurity and never had any huge, Earth shattering hits or anything. 

13. DIA- My Friend’s Boyfriend

On paper this song is awful. I mean it’s a song about being a petty bitch who has decided to steal their friend’s boyfriend, hence the title. Also the song ads cute little quirks like *squints eyes to read this metaphorical paper closer* coughing. Also the video has an unnecessarily long intro. But believe me when I tell you that this is an absolute slapper.

12. Gugudan- Wonderland

It’s a crime that Gugudan has never really hit it off, even with two I.O.I members. Their debut has this amazing Little Mermaid concept and believe me when I tell you that this chorus is best when screamed at the top of your lungs. After all the screaming I am basically in a manic state by the la la la’s.

11. LOONA 1/3- Love&Live

You’ll notice that the main theme of this list is that the choruses are absolute fire. But this one comes in and basically knocks the wind out of me with sweetness, like some kind of aegyo Kool-Aid man. It’s really the music that does it for me in this one, along with the melody, along with Heejin’s perfect high note. If this song doesn’t make you smile then you are a robot, like ViVi. 

10. Shannon Williams- Why Why

If Ant and/or Dec were here, they would hear this song and definitely say that Britain’s Got Talent. Shannon is the British IU,hands down, undeniably, I will not be taking questions at this time. But it’s very sad that her career was nonexistent after this came out. Was it the fact that this features a sixteen-year-old grinding against faceless boys? Or that this video widely revolves around her intensely stalking someone? It can’t be the song because that is perfect. 

9. AOA- Bingle Bangle

Okay so some history for those non-Elvises out there. AOA was THE HOTTEST girl group for a good minute, with so many timeless collaborations with the Brave Brothers that really changed the shape of female K-Pop for a while. And then ChoA left the group. And without the only member who could actually sing the face of the group, AOA kind of went quiet, save for a few Jimin solo songs. Then AOA came back with a new sound, and while everyone else thought it was terrible, I thought it was a bop! And I love the video and the concept! And the dance for this is so fun. Bingle Bangle is a real yes for me dawg. It’s only too bad that they lost yet another member and their concept was handed off to FNC’s new girl group. Speaking of which...

8. Cherry Bullet- Really Really

Yeah so they literally gave this entire “girls in a video game but it’s fun and cute” concept to Cherry Bullet, and they hit the ground running with it. This comeback in particular is my favorite of theirs because it hits one of my favorite pop music tropes: Having A Funky Instrumental Chorus, Only At The End To Put Words Over The Music. It ticks all my boxes.

7. Rainbow- Whoo

If you ever wanted to hear a song that made you scream “RAAAAIIINBOOW AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!” then this is it. At this point in this list we start to hear the songs that make me truly insane, and this song absolutely destroys me. It’s really sad, however, that this is basically Rainbow’s swan song, as it was their last song before disbandment. 

6. Matilda- Macarena

I bet you haven’t even HEARD of Matilda. I bet you didn’t even KNOW that MATILDA just DISBANDED a FEW MONTHS AGO because ALL THEIR SONGS WERE BAD except for THIS ONE which is just full of CHAOTIC GOOD ENERGY and if you don’t ENJOY THIS then GET OFF MY LAWN. 

5. Berry Good- Angel

Berry Good was destined to be one of those girl groups, like Matilda, that came from a tiny company and was just given bad songs and were set up to fail. So they crowdfunded, and somehow made two incredible comebacks, Don’t Believe (which is a whole other story that we won’t get into today, but it’s an amazing song that you should check out) and prior to that, Angel. I don’t even know where to begin with this song because it literally makes me forget who I am and why I exist. It’s a banger?? This song starts off so soft and pure and jumps right into a chorus that makes you bang your head and scream “I TAKE A CHANCE, YOU NEVER KNOW” as loud as possible. And right when you think you can’t take it anymore, that you are gasping for air because you are drowning in perfection, THEY GO EVEN HARDER. Like, girls, you did not need to go that hard. Holy shit. They go full IU in Good Day. I don’t know why we were blessed with this, especially since after this all their other songs have been garbage, and they’ve been so unsuccessful that they lost their strongest member and they’re heading for disbandment. But we have this gem, and I’m thankful for it.

4. 4Minute- Heart To Heart

Back when 4Minute was just another 2NE1 clone, trying to compete in the market of “Girls Who Look Tough But Are Actually Sweet” 4Minute, aka The HyunA Group, put out this. Third Geners, this is what Second Gen was all about. This is the meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown. This song is everything. It’s perfect. And it’s too bad that 4Minute didn’t really stick with this sound, but also not, since with their more mature concept they wound up getting pretty famous once Park Bom... I mean, we’re not gonna talk about it. 

3. Hyolyn- Bae

Okay so I know that Hyolyn as an entity is not technically considered underrated, but her entire solo career is being slept on and I don’t understand. With Sistar gone, and now Red Velvet carrying the torch for summer anthems, Hyolyn doesn’t necessarily have to give us one of the best summer songs of all time but she did. Every second of this song to me is perfect. And yeah okay I’ll admit it, I am a Gay, I am attracted to women, and Hyolyn is a lot of. A lot of wow. She and HyunA are exactly my type, and this video is a lot. But the SONG you guys. It’s so much that I told even regular people who listen to English music to listen to this song. They didn’t, of course, because the world doesn’t appreciate Hyolyn like I would, I mean like I do as a fan and nothing else. This song was my summer anthem in 2018, Power Up wishes it was this good.

2. BESTie- Thank U Very Much

One of the things that really got me into K-Pop during the Second Gen was that it sounded so much like pop music from my youth. This is gonna sound weird, but I grew up in a Wiccan Neo-Pagan household where 90% of the music we listened to was traditional Celtic or New Age, and if it was ever anything else it was like The Beatles (my Mom and her sisters were one of those screaming and fainting Beatles fans, the trait that was clearly passed down to me, based on what happened when I saw G-Dragon live, but that’s another story) or ABBA, or any kind of British/European pop/rock from the 70s or 80s. So once I was old enough to really find out what kind of music I liked, I dived deep into cheesy pop songs like S Club 7, Britney Spears, and the like. But I always had a soft spot for ABBA. The melodies, the music, the strange lyrics that didn’t really make sense or weren’t quite grammatically correct but it worked. I feel like that love for obscure pop, along with the 90s and early 2000s bubblegum pop, pushed me right into the K-Pop scene. And this song is the best example of that kind of weird melody with oddly used English words, but it works in the best way. The chorus of this song sounds like it was written by ABBA. The ending of this song is transcendent. Tell me you can’t picture a Korean Meryl Streep in overalls singing the ending of this song while dancing on a beach. This song makes me lose all my shits. But I do have to say that this video is uh, Not Good, especially compared with how amazing the song is. But these underrated bottom of the barrel groups don’t have much to work with in the first place, so we can’t really fault them. This song holds up, and is going to hold up for a very long time. I stan.

1. Laboum- Shooting Love

So like I said before, I don’t typically like the super sugary, super tacky, super girly girl concepts. BUT I LOVE LABOUM. ALL their girly sweet songs are AMAZING. They somehow get everything right, in their own unique way. They’re not at all like “Oh, they’re like GFriend”, “Oh, that’s like Lovelyz” or anything, if you get what I’m saying. Laboum had their own cheesy yet perfect style of girly. Aalow Aalow: A CLASSIC. Journey To Atlantis: A CLASSIC. Hwi Hwi: A CLASSIC. Only U: YES YOU GUESS IT, CLASSIC. Sugar Sugar: DON’T MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN. I could have made this whole list with just Laboum songs. So I made myself pick one by listening to as many old Laboum songs as I could before I would become an absolutely menace to society, as I am not responsible for my actions after listening to so much girly perfectlon at once. If I was arrested and went to court for I dunno, causing distress and mayhem to the citizens of my city, my lawyer would call it “the Laboum defense.” “You see, Your Honor, my client listened to a lot of Laboum songs, and lost control of themselves and became an entity, a ball of energy, a comet destroying everything in its path while screaming cheesy Korean lyrics.” And I would be set free, of course, because who wouldn’t lose themselves completely to the power of Laboum? But anyway I picked Shooting Love, as it puts me in a manic state from the very intro until the last second. And let me just say now that I deeply mourn this old Laboum, as they came back in 2018 with a new concept that makes them sound lobotomized compared to their old sound. Like slow R&B is fine, but compared to this it’s drab and slow and dull and I hate it. I Hate It. Bring back cute Laboum in 2020, or at least study Apink if you want to see how to properly change an aging cute group into a mature group. I could go on, but now I have the urge to listen to more Laboum. You’ll see me on the evening news tonight, I’m sure.

anyway 안녕

Shortbow (80 ft reach)

1d6+3 damage

Shortsword (5ft reach)

1d6+3 damage

And then you add sneak attack ONCE PER TURN!

2d6 added to damage

 Alrighty here we go

Jacob's gonna dm a broken sink one shot

Halfway through offtime, freetime

We went back in time

Have been getting used to living w each other

Tensions starting to build bc different living habits

A week and a half into downtime, downstairs for breakfast

Before kitchen was set on fire

Halflings are cooking bc I said it was funny

We have a fridge

Cel opens the fridge, investigation check

8

There's half a carton of half and half, two eggs, jar of jalapeno sauce jelly (or is it jalapeno sauce and jelly?), half a loaf of french bread, four potatoes, onion

Dip bread in the egg, mix w half and half…savory french toast?

But the sink is clogged

Cel is taking the food out of the fridge, theo is making the vegetables and cel is doing the french toast

Theo is making a dexterity check, cel is doing a wisdom check

19 and 4, respectively

Cel forgets what french toast is or forgot the basic steps so scrambles the eggs and puts them on top of the bread like eggs benedict, now it's toast w eggs on top + perfectly diced potatoes

We probably have an oven we have an oven

Theo sticks the potatoes in the oven

Has passive insight of 9

Puts potatoes in a little too long, come out a lil too dark

Throwing jacob for a loop bc he's not using the sink

And we didn't wash the potatoes

Asyna and Aerana

Asyna was sleeping, aerana comes back from a walk

Asyna walks downstairs, aerana busts down the front door, take a deep breath and it's burnt potato skin and scrambled eggs

Surprisingly appetizing

Dm will probs let it happen

We eat breakfast, asyna says it was good

The potatoes were a little burnt - we roll constitution checks

None of us r poisoned

Now we have four dirty dishes

Cel tries using the sink, water comes out

Sink starts to fill, cel turns off the sink, water just below the top

Grinder next to it

Sloshing water, kinda gross

Asyna proposes turning into a fish to swim down

If she dies in this it's fine

Turns into a good fish

Turns into a newt

"do newts have legs"

They breathe through their skin

Tb to that one episode of wild kratts

Yeets in as a newt

Barely fit in the drain bc apparently newts r kinda chunki

Rolls a 12

Actually got an 11

Squeezes in the really tight sink drain

Halfway through it's pitch black but lizards have darkvision so

Halfway down hits a fuzzy black mass

That's . Icki

Water barely trickling through it

"can I shove it with my strong newt arms"

Makes asyna want to sneeze

Asyna is gonna make a nature check

Rolls a 7

Can tell it's kind of like a plant

"can I eat it"

"do you want to"

Takes a nibble

Constitution saving throw w lizard stats

Gets poisoned w an 11

Except we don't know she's stuck

Now has disadvantage on all rolls

Feels terrible

"you bite into this fuzzy mass, and it's super, super bitter"

"there's so much that you take a big bite - damn you are really poisoned now - you did take out a solid chunk" but there's enough that it's still clogging

Tries climbing back up

Makes acrobatics check w disadvantage

9, gets halfway back up the drain, poison really hits n kinda bloats, makes her stuck

Moans

The mold was at the curve (we don't know it's mold tho), halfway in between bottom curve and top is where marguerite is

Stick ??? Wire ?? String ???

Sleight of hand check, you roll 14

U shove it down and u hit smth and u hear a noise, wedge it in between the side of the wall and the newt, start inching back up, eventually we see a tail poke out of the drain

Bright orange newt

Animal handling check, you roll an 11

But u pull her out

Asyna leaves the sink then turns back into a non-newt

She's still poisoned

Asyna knows it is black and fuzzy n smth similar to a plant

Cel runs nature check w advantage

19 cel is like yeah that's black mold

Using a stick and poking aggressively, theo is

Dexterity save, 23

Shoves mold down, toothbrushed the drain and pulls it out

Looks like a stick w a black marshmallow at the end w a bite taken out of it

"I was trying to help"

Sink has been successfully unclogged, asyna is poisoned, our fridge is empty and everyone ate unpeeled potatoes

 Dom's turn

Snuck into residence trying to sneak around groundskeeper n stuff

Lots of dead ppl lying about

U know what would b fun a dnd campaign but make it criminal minds homebrew lmfao

We're in g10 on the map, can still hear fighting upstairs

We've only been in g7 g8 and g10

Adam is holding vicious mockery and stealthily opens the door for g6

Total of 20 for stealth, appears to be a pantry w spices n jars n preserves, against far edge is a barred door from the inside

Two servants inside who r dead, older human male and a younger halfling

Adam closes door, tries not to throw up, opens door and slightly investigates bodies

Medicine check - 16, looks like stab wounds; older human dressed more finely, younger wearing an apron

Both r v dead

Door barred from jacob's side, he gets us into the room, we all go in

Cel looks at the barred door; heavy plank of wood placed over to keep it from being opened

Aerana rolls 21 perception check, you don't hear anything but sounds like it could lead to the street

Adam is gonna peek into g5, door opens without trouble

Just a kitchen, large fireplace w space for a big pot

Pot is empty, nobody's in the room

On to g9 we go, ppl draw their weapons

Asyna and cel go to g9, adam cel and aerana hang out in g8

Aerana knows that it gets foggy and rainy in waterdeep in the spring, you start to hear heavy rain from outside

Room is furnished for comfort, lots of dainty chairs n lounging sofa, wine cabinet, paintings depicting different humans in noble attire, two more dead bodies in the room that look like guards

Asyna and cel don't recognize any faces

Upstairs we go?

Nope theo does g11 adam does g12

Theo goes in first, door is locked

"haha lockpick time"

Door is made out of wood

Puts ear to door to listen for anything, rolls 6 for perception

Doesn't hear anything

Now will pick lock, 11

Doesn't open lock

Adam tries kicking the door, 13

Can't open the door

Gets a bruised shoulder jk a bruised toe

They go to g12, it's a cozy library w tall bookshelves and wooden panels

There r tomes

Adam checks out the book on the lectern

Theo goes back out to let us know what they found

Adam sees a locked book, looks like it could be a wizard's spellbook but not sure

Picks it up, takes it

10 for intelligence; there's a symbol similar to the one on the bodies of the guards like a coat of arms

Comes back and tells us he found the book

Theo tries lockpicking

Rolls a 22, opening it in g8

Opens the lock, first page has symbol

Says 1,239 - 1,422

What does it mean jacob will roll intelligence

Rolls an 8, doesn't know

Second page is all black

Adam holds it up to the light, feels cold or like coal ?? Falls out and gently floats to the floor

Splits into three pieces

We roll for initiative

Cel has nat20

17 for asyna

16 for theo

12 for adam

Aerana has a 9

Piece of paper falls to ground, splits, from the three they melt into the floor but then become a taller form and swirl around in grayish smoke, they look like ghosts, v skinny n purplish w long claws

"hey there demons, it's ya boi"

Cel goes first w shsw, hacks the closest one

Doesn't hit, monster is making strange gasps things, kind of reaches out to strike, hits, 14 damage lmfao

Halved her hp, makes constitution saving throw

14, swipes at her and hands pass through the armor, feels drained

Asyna is gonna try to turn into something guess it's a badger

Attacks the one that's closest to asyna, rolls 15 to hit and rolls a 12, both hit

Rolls d6 and adds 1 and 2d4

7 damage for one, 7 damage for other

It's like ur trying to hit smoke

Theo will hit w shsw, 17 to hit, 4 to damage

Lashes at same one, swings shsw and connects but feels like not injuring it that much

Adam makes all of them make charisma saving throws, 18 14 and 2

One of them disadvantaged but not at a disadvantage they just have to subtract a 1d4

Uses cutting words on the other least damaged ghost thing

For next attack have to subtract 1d6 from roll

One lurches forward to attack theo but misses

Aerana deals 18 damage to closest one to you that hasn't been hit yet

Strikes and it spins around, almost gets out but u hack at it and sword passes through part of it but comes back together

Other guy tries to hit aerana, 11 misses

Cel does shsw again, 18 to hit, 7 damage

Our current attacks are dealing half damage

Other guy doesn't hit

Asyna goes, rolls 14 and 6; 14 hits and deals bite with 7 damage

Theo rolls 16 to hit, 8 damage

Frenzy kind of fight, everyone in melee

None looks more hurt than others like difficult to tell

They're hovering

Adam rolls, sees cel p damaged, heals cel a little bit to 16 hp, healing is a bonus action so vicious mockery on one of the ghosts

survives

Other guy goes while jacob pees

We're in g8 and coming down the stairs we see a man drenched in all different kinds of blood with a shortsword, short dark hair, human, runs down and wearing a dark armor reminiscent of the zents, makes an immediate left at the front door and runs away into the rain

Oop adam the guy rolled a nat20, somehow the other guy is getting damaged ? Wait I'm confused ok ig so

13 damage and jacob gets OHHHH it's a reactionary fire thing bc he's a tiefling

Guy does 23 damage and adam is down

Adam has to do a constitution saving throw, 17, adam falls unconscious like he's fainted

Aerana rolls 17 to damage

Deals a really heavy blow to one of them and it almost vanishes to nothing but then comes back and reforms

Misses attacking me suck it

Celandine casts cure wounds for adam for 8 hp

Other guy attacks and misses

Badger!asyna time

Uh is it bad that I just . Haven't mentioned groot . And that groot should still be there from last session . Oopsi

Anyways badger!asyna rolls nat20 for one and 2 for the other

Picks bite or claw, doubles whatever is rolled for dice, rolls 9 so is that 18 or what ? Ig it doesn't matter for me

Goes for the one closest to her so the one attacking cel

Solid bite attack

Theo's turn, 22 to hit, 8 damage

Adam wakes up, has other guy make wisdom saving throw w 11, needed a 12

2 damage and it has disadvantage on next attack

"danny phantom more like danny phandumb"

Sends it reeling w a mental attack

Rolls and misses to hit adam

Aerana rolls and kills it with 13 damage

Brings shsw up to get it out of face, appears to be too much for it to take, gasps and recedes to floor then dissipates

Cel's turn w shsw, 6 and does not hit

Other guy doesn't hit either

Badger!asyna rolls 9, doesn't hit, 13 and hits w claws, w 7 damage

Yikes didn't kill twas close tho it's v weak but not dead yet

We notice three guards dressed in the same attire as the dead ones downstairs and they also just straight run out the front door

Theo hits with 7 damage

Kills one of them, slashes and almost does a decapitation but it just reforms bc it's a ghost and then it melts into the floor

Just the one left

Adam's turn to roast it, misses ig, healing words self

Ghost's turn ig, doesn't hit

Aerana rolls 13 to hit, 8 damage; close but doesn't kill (no sneak attack)

Cel's turn, misses

Badger!asyna rolls 19 and 8, both hit; roll for damage, 6 damage

Kills it w claw and smashes it to ground as it fizzles away

The book is open, no other black pages in the book; closes the book and adam puts it into his knapsack

No sound of fighting upstairs

Let's go upstairs w asyna going first ig

Badger lumbers up stairs but it's awkward bc claws were not designed for this

A lot was happening in g13 but now it's like most ppl r dead upstairs

Turn to left w door directly in front left ajar, pushes it more open

Goes into 15a, hears a shout "the city watch is on the way !!" from area g16 but pushes into 15a and sees a small antechamber like a repurposed closet space

We're all in g13 now

Adam is gonna walk into g16

Doors are closed but he's able to open them; two occupants w an older middle-aged human woman w a breastplate carrying a rapier standing next to a half-orc bodyguard in center of the room - looks like well-furnished bedroom

They see him and r staring at adam

"hi . I'm adam . Uhm . These r my friends . We saw a couple of guards and a really bloodied up man in robes run out of this building and we were concerned for its occupants"

Attempting to persuade

Rolls an 8 and it's a bad lie but she's bad at reading people

Has a few daggers and a small crossbow and can see he has it

Puts up rapier and screeches at adam to disarm self

He sets ukulele on floor

"there is no time for jests ! Disarm urself, sir !"

Picks the ukulele back up

"did u see where that thief went"

"I just saw him run out of the building"

"we're all great citizens of waterdeep we just want to make sure ur ok"

Half-orc gives adam a look that could shatter a vase

As we turn to leave, we hear sounds of sobbing inside area 15b

Theo will knock for asyna

Everyone is in g16 except for theo and asyna

Hears sounds of sobbing and then they stop and you hear a voice "no please don't hurt me"

"we're not here to hurt u we just want to make sure ur ok"

"alright ?? Am I alright ??? My life is in dAnGEr"

"adfsjkdfa I'll never tell" mans is a burbling mess

Theo rolls persuasion check at disadvantage, 9

Man says he's armed and will kill if they come in

Back to g16

Cel disarms, u disarm shsw and shbw but keep dagger hidden

Look around the room, looks a little bit in disarray; there's a window w shattered glass and it's raining

U can tell that the window on the far north wall has been shattered

Noble woman tells us to sit

Adam asks if we're in trouble

Adam looks at us then the other ppl

Adam casts pyrotechnics and smoke bombs them, 20 ft of smoke hitting them and we run "beat it guys"

Originally we arrived here bc naya led us here, we're looking for the owner of the necklace

There's smoke in the room just kidding jacob undoes pyrotechnics

Doo do dood o dood o do do do do do doooooooo do do do od ododo dod o do dododo dod o do dod o do do do do

The jeopardy theme song as dom re-summarizes

Ok w that in mind guess we gotta figure out the owner

Back to the other room, there's more sniffling but maybe he needs a therapy!badger

"would u happen to b missing a necklace"

Pause and he goes "necklace ? Well I never"

Insight check, nat1; hard to tell if he's telling the truth or not

Door is locked from the outside

Theo asks if he needs help getting out "nO ur a beast"

Try lockpicking again w thieves' tools check

D20+ proficiency + dex modifier

Gets a 20, picks lock; inside is a bed like a smaller guest bedroom, can hear sniffling behind the bed

"sir we're not here to hurt u . Do u recognize this?"

Theo shows him the necklace, asyna is still a badger, trying to look cute

Making a performance check, gets 14 and tries best to look non-threatening but the balding human man w a rapier in his hand screams when he sees badger!asyna

Theo rolls for persuasion check

Rolls a 6, gets sense it's not someone who's going to respond

Maybe badger!asyna will try to intimidate

Cel realizes the lady is one of the people in the painting

"the lives of my soldiers, the integrity of my home"

"and what about a necklace"

Insight check, flash of shock across her face but she regains composure

We take our weapons back and back out of the room

Badger and theo try scaring with theo making an intimidation check w advantage from badger, rolls 17

Groot survived combat !! I'm gonna make groot bite the dm smh you can try me I'll keep getting dogs as a side quest

Theo says badger is hangry and is threatening w the hangry badger!asyna, theo is standing on the bed

Man immediately drops rapier and starts crying and pleads for his life

"please pls u wouldn't dare I'm crying" OOP THE WOMAN WAS DEALING W THE PPL TEA PUPPET WHERE

Bro the stone what wait

We just want info

Here's what we got

Smth abt half a million dragons

Smth abt the zents fighting the xants

Smth abt being involved w the zents but his wife specifically

Smth abt giving the necklace to "the puppet"

Theo asks abt the puppet

"that's the problem w these stupid things they think for themselves I heard it blew up half a street accidentally" was supposed to go after the gnome but missed

Takes theo's hand "pls u can't kill me I'll tell u - what do u need"

Tells us we gotta go the house of grinda or smth in the dock ward for the puppet

Gains his composure and leaves from hiding behind the bed, takes a piece of paper w a well-done sketch of a strange being

Looks like a contract w a guarantee of quality for a construct

"pls it looks like this don't kill me pls"

Theo takes the paper

We stand up and go from g16, badger and theo see we had left, adam shuts the door

Theo apologizes to the guy

Adam casts sleep on the dude just in case

Makes him sleep w 26, we leave

We look outside and there's a bunch of torchlight by the gate - citywatch ? The inspector is there investigating a murder or disturbance or smth

We book it out of g6 into the street on the opposite side of the mansion

Raining a lot

We walk/speedwalk away, adam makes a general wisdom check for nearby taverns

The yawning portal is in the trades ward, we're in the north ward or we're in the sea ward

We're in one of the wealthy wards

It's raining so much that we have disadvantages on stuff

Are we ?? Riding the badger ???

Could be ridden by halflings ?

Theo and cel ride asyna

We're walking to mirt's ig

Stopping point ? We're dealing w mirt's house next session

We learned some weird info abt the puppet

a/n: here she is, the final part of episode thirteen. hope you guys liked it! episode fourteen should be out next week, so stay tuned. let me know what you guys think by reblogging or sending me a message! i love the feedback. love u all. xxx

synopsis: sam saves the day on a whim

word count: 2463

It started snowing on the way to the swamp behind the Dorian house, so you stayed in the Impala while Dean ran inside the nearest barn and negotiated the use of a tractor. “We gotta get the thing out somehow, right?” He teased you before getting out of the car. 

Thankfully, you were given one but now you were standing outside in the rain while Dean used the stupid thing to pull the Dorian truck out of the swamp. Sam stands next to you, yelling directions out to his brother. You had the thing hooked, it was just time to pull her out. 

It honestly sounds like the chain was going to snap or the tractor would shut down completely. It’s so loud you’re surprised anyone was still asleep in the neighborhood but when Sam yells for Dean to stop, all you hear is crickets. 

You stand there, shivering, your coat wrapped around your body when Sam puts his hand on the small of your back. It feels warm there and then it’s cold again when he jogs in Dean’s direction. “Nice,” Sam compliments. Dean jumps off the tractor and mumbles a thank you. “Now I know what she sees in you,” Sam teases. 

As the boys pass you, you follow behind to the truck. The truck was rusted completely. What was once black, was now a burnt orange color. “What?” Dean snaps, looking at his brother. The comment was weird, you agree, but you saw the meaning behind it before Sam explains. 

“Come on, man, you can admit it. You’re still in love with her,” Sam says. You squeeze past the boys and stand right in front of the truck. You don’t have time for their brother banter or for Sam to psychoanalyze Dean and for Dean to reject all of it. 

“Can we please focus?” Dean asks as you take a deep breath and pull open the truck door. His eyes are on his brother when you scream at the dead corpse sitting in the driver’s seat. “Jesus,” Dean mumbles next to you. Neither of the boys all that fazed by the literal decomposing body inside. 

“Well, let's get to it,” Sam mutters and he nods towards Cyrus Dorian, silently telling you to take the body out. You shake your head and wave your hands in the air, stepping back from the truck. 

“Uh, uh. No way, not happening. Sorry,” you say. Sam chuckles and shakes his head. Dean rolls his eyes and reaches inside of the truck. Cyrus’s bones crack under Dean’s pressure but he gets him on to the picnic table in one piece. You stand back as Sam drenches the body in gas and Dean pours the salt. Dean hands you the matches and lets you have the honor of putting the bitch in flames. 

You stand back and watch him burn, which would be a horrific experience for most people but for you, you felt at peace. At peace that maybe this was the end. “Think that’ll do it?” Sam’s pessimism interrupting your thoughts made you sigh. 

Dean was about to answer, negatively, you gathered by his sigh and sad look on his face when headlights flashed on and an engine revved loud. “I guess not,” Dean says. 

“So burning the body had no effect on that thing?” Sam yells over the loud engine of the truck. The smell of burning bones, the sound of the crackle from the fire, the snow hitting your nose. It was all too much too quickly. 

“Well, sure it did. Now it’s really pissed off,” Dean says, flashing you and Sam a fake smile while the truck looks you dead in the face. 

“What are we supposed to do?” You ask. “The ghost is gone, right?” You’re hoping for a better answer than he gives you, but having a little hope is better than none at all. 

“Apparently not the part that’s still fused with the truck,” he says and starts to walk away. 

“Where are you going?” You ask him as you watch him walk to the truck. Sam keeps an eye on the truck as you keep an eye on Dean. 

“Going for a little ride,” he says. “I’m gonna lead that thing away. That rusted piece of crap, you gotta burn it!” He yells as he gets into the car. 

“How the hell are we supposed to burn a truck, Dean?” Sam yells. The truck is massive. It’s just as scary as everyone said it was, whether it was rusted or not. 

“I dunno, figure something out,” Dean yells back. He tosses the bag of weapons and matches and books and everything you’d need over to you and you catch it. Sam’s about to protest when the Impala’s engine turns over. You duck behind the table, bringing Sam down with you as Dean pulls off. The truck follows him. 

When the truck is gone, you bounce back up and take the bag to an empty picnic table. One without a body on it and open up a book that might give you some answers. “What the hell does he want us to do?” Sam asks. 

“I don’t know,” you mutter. Sam’s reading over your shoulder and you run your finger along the words, reading as quickly as possible. Again, your leg is bouncing out of nerves. 

Sam opens up a map and looks for some direction that he could tell Dean to go in. He has a flashlight tucked between his ear and a shoulder when the phone rings. You flip it open. “We need a minute,” you tell Dean. 

“I don’t have a minute! What are we doing?” Dean yells. You can hear the truck through the phone and it sounds close but you try to ignore it. 

“Uhh, let us, uh,” you stutter, trying to give him an answer and read at the same time. Sam seems like he hasn’t got any ideas either so you sign. “I’ll get back to you,” you say quickly and hang up the phone. 

“You just hung up on him?” Sam asks, in shock but also amused. You look up at him through your lashes and tap on the map, telling him to get back to work. 

“You got a better idea? Keep looking.” He does as you say but you can tell he’s not focused on the task at hand. However, you can see the wheels turning behind his eyes. “What?” You ask. 

“Phone. Give me the phone,” he demands. He holds his hand out and motions for you to quickly give him the phone and you do. He’s quick to dial Cassie’s number and you stand beside him with your arms folded and watch. 

You don’t bother looking for another plan, because the confidence in his voice as he asks Cassie questions makes you sure he’s figured something out. However, when he hangs up, you wish you had been looking. “What’s up?” 

“You think that luring the demon truck to the church site will get rid of it?” He asks, a nervous chuckle escaping his lips as he dials Dean’s number. You gawk at him, your lips parting in shock that that was his idea but once again, he sounds confident talking to Dean. 

“This better be good!” Dean yells. Sam puts the phone on speaker and sets it on the table so he can read the map better and you hold his flashlight for him. 

“Where are you?” Sam asks his voice calm compared to his brother’s. 

“I’m in the middle of nowhere with a killer truck on my ass!” Dean yells. His side of the phone was louder than your side with both engines revving and Dean’s yelling. “It’s like he knows I lit a torch to Cyrus!” 

“Dean, Dean listen,” Sam says. You wanna correct Dean, tell him that you had lit the torch to Cyrus but now was not the time to inflate your ego, so you didn't. “This is important. I have to know exactly where you are.”

“Decatur Road, about two miles off the highway,” Dean tells you. You see it on the map before Sam, so you slam your finger down on it. 

“Headed East?” Sam asks. Dean confirms and then there’s a loud smash and tires screeching coming from the speaker. 

“Are you okay?” You yell into the phone. 

“You son of a bitch,” Dean mutters to himself more than anything. “Yes, yes hurry up!” 

“Okay, okay,” Sam stutters, trying to figure out the best way to take Dean. “Turn right,” he tells him. More tires screeching and then no talking. “Did you make the turn?” Sam asks almost too quietly for the situation at hand and your eyes follow his directions on the map. 

“Yeah, I took the freakin’ turn! Move this thing a little faster!” Dean yells, frantic and panicked and Sam kicks back into gear. 

“You see a road up ahead?” Sam asks. At first, Dean yells no but then he changes his answer and repeats it over and over again. He’s rightfully freaking out and you feel guilty for doing nothing but holding a flashlight. “Okay, turn left.” 

“WHAT?!” You don’t know what’s going on, but Dean isn’t talking. Again, more tires screeching and then they stop. “Okay, now what?” 

“You need to go exactly 7/10ths of a mile and stop,” Sam explains. You’re obviously aware of the legitimacy of this plan, but you weren’t expecting such tedious directions. 

“What?” You sneer at Sam, trying to keep your voice quiet so Dean can’t hear you. 

“Exactly 7/10ths, Dean. Exactly,” Sam reiterates. He glances at you, but can’t really see your face in the dark. He knows it’s not a good look, though. Dean mutters something under his breath but he doesn’t say anything to you. 

“Are you sure?” You ask Sam, again in a whisper. Sam puts his hand on the speaker and he turns to face you for real for the first time since getting Dean on the phone. 

“No, but this is our only shot,” Sam tells you. You suck a deep breath and hold it there. You’re determined to hold it now until Dean tells you that this plan had worked because you can’t ride on Sam’s blind faith. “It’ll work,” Sam mumbles. 

“Dean, are you still there?” You ask.

“Yeah.”

“What’s happening?” 

“Nothing, he’s just staring at me. What do I do?” His voice is a lot calmer now, which makes you a little calmer as well. 

“Exactly what you are doing. Bringing it to you,” Sam

speaks as if he’s so sure of himself and you’re thankful Dean can’t see the skepticism on his face. 

“You better be right about this,” you tell Sam as you put your fingers at your mouth and begin to chew on your nails. It’s all too quiet for your liking. 

Sam picks up the phone and brings it to his mouth. “Dean, you still there?” Sam asks. He’s worried too by the silence. 

“Where’d it go?” Dean asks.

“You’re where the church is,” Sam explains. He’s got an air of pride about him now, knowing that his plan worked when it maybe shouldn’t have. 

“What church?” 

“The place Cyrus burned down and murdered all those kids,” Sam explains. 

“There’s not a whole lot left.”

“Church ground is hallowed ground, whether the church is still there not.” Sam sounds so sure of himself. Like he was spitting facts and not a wild assumption he made on a whim. “Evil spirits cross on to hallowed ground, sometimes they get destroyed. I figured maybe that would get rid of it.”

“Maybe? Maybe?!” Dean yells. You grimace at the phone. “What if you were wrong?” Sam smiles and turns to you. You give him an I told you so look but he just smiles. 

“Huh, the thought never occurred to me,” he says. You wanna yell into the phone it occurred to me but you didn’t. Maybe living with blind faith wasn’t such a bad thing. Dean hangs up the phone and Sam shoves it in his pocket. 

“He’s gonna kill you,” you tell him. You want to yell and fight and tell him he’s so stupid but you just wrap your arms around his neck and hug him. 

+++ 

Dean didn’t kill him. He was angry, but he didn’t kill him. He mostly just wanted to get to bed and he slept like a freaking baby. It wasn’t until the morning when he got sad by the fact that he was leaving. 

Sam sits in the front seat and your head is on his arm, which is spread across the seat. You watch Dean and Cassie, even though you can’t hear them. “He deserves to be happy,” you say. 

Sam turns to you and smiles. “Yeah, he does.” You smile back at him and with his free hand, Sam moves a piece of hair away from your face. “I think we all do. At least a little bit in this life.” 

“I’m happy with you,” you tell Sam. You don’t know what comes over you or what tempted you to say that but you said it anyway. Sam nods and strokes your cheek. 

“Me too.” You break eye contact a little too soon but you look over at Dean and Cassie again. His face isn't too happy, but you figured before you came here this morning that there wasn’t much else to do. 

They kiss and you watch so intently you start to feel creepy so you clear your throat and look down at the seat. Only a few moments later, Dean gets in the car and Sam takes off as fast as he can. 

“I like her,” Sam tells Dean after you’re on the road for a few minutes. All he does is mutter an agreement but Sam keeps going. “You meet someone like her and you ever wonder if it’s worth it? Putting everything else on hold for what we do?” 

The question throws you off, but you don’t say anything. You let Dean answer the way Dean would always answer, no. He doesn’t say anything, thought. He just puts a smug grin on his face and covers his eyes with sunglasses. “Wake me when it’s my turn to drive.” He settles back in his seat and you take the opportunity to reach over for the radio, but even with his eyes closed Dean can sense you and he smacks your hand. 

“Ouch,” you hiss and pull your hand back to your body, sinking further into your seat like a wounded animal. “You’re asleep, what does it matter?” You ask, more to yourself than to Dean. Sometimes, you just needed to complain to yourself, ya know? 

“I need to dream happy dreams,” Dean tells you.

Sorry not sorry

First of all, and I don’t know where to start so this will be less of a reaction and more just rambling, and literally no one asked for this but I’m writing it anyways.

Ateez DO NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! Literally every song on this album is a whole bop. I’ve been listening to it on repeat since it was released and even after the first initial,  “I-love-every-song-because-I’ve-been-looking-forward-to-this-for-so-long” in love feelings had settled, I genuinely love every song. JUST OMG I CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH BUT THIS GROUP IS CELEBRATING THEIR. FIRST. YEAR NOW IN OCTOBER!!!!! The production value is so high it’s insane!! and this goes back to the previous three mini albums, like maybe it’s just me but I can literally put every song back to back and listen through their entire discography without feeling just an “eeh, maybe I should skip this one” and that’s crazy.

So, a bit more about the individual songs,

1, End of The Beginning: OMG this will resonate within you, wherever you live on this planet and don’t try to convince me of anything else. Couldn’t have started out better, got chills the first time I heard it. From the chanting to the way it sounds like they’re ready to go to war, to the transition into wonderland.

2, WONDERLAND: This is the title track if I’ve ever heard one, strong beginning, I’m hella biased but I’m really happy that Joong is the one who sets the bar for the whole song. Not even kidding, I UNIRONICALLY DAB THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE SONG. it’s just one of those songs that you can’t listen to without having the need to move whether you just wiggle your shoulders a little or walk to the beat of the song or move your entire body. Yunho and Seonghwa are really shining through with both strong vocals and overall presence through the entire song.

3, Dazzling Light: OK OK OK, my favorite on the album. The drum beat, their voices, the lyrics, the way that Joong and Mings is rapping after around 2:20 to 2:40 and then the way the song just drops afterwards, and Jonho’s long fucking “Oh, tell me who you, who am I” and I’m just gone, I’m acsending into the heavens, just… ah, there’s something about this song that just makes me want to walk down barefoot on a beach with the wind howling in my ears

4, MIST: Not gonna lie and (god, I’m gonna get so much hate for this, but it’s only MY opinion, ok) the beginning, instrumentally low-key resembled Jimin’s (BTS, obv) ‘Serendipity’. I think that they use the same kind of melancholy background noises (I don’t know anything about music or music production but you know what I mean right? The light, drip-drop-y kinda sound. Whatever, overall, the song is a slow bop. Vocal line is just AMAZING. The harmonization, the way their voices blend, and let me just tell you; This is Wooyoung’s song, boi did such a good job and I’m so happy he got the recognition he deserves (next up is Yeosang, am I right?? *sad yeehaw*) Joong made me cry, like just seriously listen to his rapping with lyrics and try not to feel emotion because it’s god damn impossible. This is the song I’m gonna be listening to at 2am when I can’t sleep.

5, Precious (Overture) Bruuuuuh, freaking chills. The beat, the way the song seems to change like every 15th second, their voices, Mings rapping, the fucking drop with the windpipes? The “My precious, precious” the slight but noticeable change in the lyrics to ‘treasure’ the deep humming at the end. Phenomenal.

6, WIN: The way this song goes from a sort of tropical to a heavy bass drop with the biggest “fuck you” is a whole mood.  I dunno, has a kinda pirate-y vibe. The way the beat keeps on changing really gives it a funny, fresh feeling and the “We don’t know what’s next but we know who’s next” is just the line of the century. A nice bop that I totally like, but it’s not my favorite on the album.

7, If Without You: Such a sweet song, honestly. I just sway to the beat to it. A song to sing along with and I really think that they had a lot of fun making it since there is a lot of background harmonization and added sounds here and there, especially in the end with all the hilarious ‘whoas’, ‘aahs’ and ‘ooohs’ A funky song with nice vocals.

8, THANK U: BOI I CRIED!! D: Honestly Mingi is shining through so much with this song and it just felt so good to hear that because even though Joong is my bias, he has gotten a lot of lines in previous songs and I’m just happy to see that the line distribution between the two of them has evened out a bit better. The way it sorta turns into a sentimental rock ballad as soon as the chorus hits though? My 2009 emo heart is singing. I think it sorta has ‘Promise’ (Ep 2. Zero To One) sorta like “you and I” vibes and I’m here for it, I really like that, a powerful, soft bop, very nice.

9, Sunrise: This is the most uplifting song of the century, but just the fact that’s about their trainee days and that Joong was crying when he wrote it makes me all emotional :’( Everything is on point, the rapping, the vocal line, the instrumentals, the way that the pre-chorus has this sorta “through-a-phone-call” add-on that makes it seem like the members has called you and just wants you to keep pushing forward. There is this constant, boom-clap-boom-clap beat throughout the whole song that just makes me sure that it’s gonna be amazing live with thousands upon thousands of Atiny’s clapping their hands. Amazing rapping, amazing vocals. The bridge is just fantastic. A beautiful song, A+. Outstanding job with the lyrics, Joong. 

10, WITH U: A Ballad for Atiny, I’m not crying, you are. Has this sort of crinkling add on in the background that reminds me of rain. The piano instrumentals and the boom-clap-boom-clap that is a familiar friend by now makes their appearance. The line distribution is sorta good, the way that San breathes in before starting off, what I think is, the pre-chorus is just wonderful and then the way that Yeosang ties the knot at the end of the song is just A+. I honestly love this song, it’s just one of those ones you listen to when you feel kinda down and you need a little something to cheer you on. 

11, Beginning of The End: OMG, first off, the jungle atmosphere with noises of fire crackling and the music just so flawlessly rolling in like waves is amazing. It’s unexpected, with instruments I never expected (like what is that sound at around 0:34, an electric guitar?) The “open your eyes” It really feels like The End of an Era (™) and wow what a song to finish of the adventure on. Feels like a track from an epic movie, the end credits are rolling and the ship sails off in the distance. Perfect.

All and all, I think that the boys did a wonderful job with this album and I will continue listening to it until my ears falls off. Please share if you have any different thoughts than I had, much love ♥
