Summary; sometimes, in order for a friendship to grow, it need’s to be broken down just a bit; when William overhears Julia talk about him, and he gets the wrong idea; 

Tags; William NylanderxOfc, hurt!William; “We never go out of style”

Warnings; swearing;

A/N; tried to capture a bit of a different side of Willy in this; I don’t believe he’d actually be upset that easily, but at the same time I do have a feeling that when he feels hurt, he takes it personally; 😉

"Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes."

“Fucking hell!" Charlie exclaimed.

"Come on, just one more," Julia encouraged.

Julia had taken Charlie to the gym, or rather, she had mentioned that she was going for a quick workout, and Charlie had asked if she could join. A decision Charlie was starting to regret now.

"You can do one more, babe," Julia reassured her.

Grumbling, Charlie managed to push herself through one more pull-up.

"You're an awful coach..." Charlie panted, half-jokingly.

Julia chuckled. She wasn't exactly a fitness expert, nor was she in the peak of physical condition. However, she was reasonably fit and tried to work out regularly to stay healthy. After her breakup with Ezra, she had embraced a routine of working out multiple times a week. While she had always enjoyed running, she had also taken up CrossFit and some lightweight lifting.

"What are you up to?" Julia asked, watching Charlie take a selfie after the workout.

"Just snapping a pic for Auston..." Charlie admitted.

Julia chuckled. "Mmm Hmmm... everything's good then?"

Charlie nodded, her cheeks turning slightly pink.

austonmatthews: damn, looking good ladies 😍 charlie.thompp: thanks 😂 but she’s killing me!! 😅 austonmatthews: then why did you agree to come along? 😂 charlie.thompp: because she’s also cooking dinner 😅 and believe me, if you ever try JJ's food, you'd be glad that you're working out 😂 austonmatthews: Why's that? 😅 charlie.thompp: Her cooking is AMAZING! 😛

After wrapping up their workout, the girls headed back to Julia's flat.

"I have a feeling we'll be feeling this tomorrow," Charlie whined.

"Yup, most definitely," Julia agreed with a chuckle.

“So, any news?” Camille smirked as she and Julia were FaceTiming.

“Nothing much,” Julia chuckled. “Well, apparently I’ve sort of become a part of the hockey community.” 

Camille chuckled.

“Uh really? So, you and Mr. handsome guy, you a thang?” Camille asked bluntly giving Julia a flirty look.

Julia simply chuckled. “Oh no, he’s all sweet and lovely- but he’s just a friend.”

“You sure babe - I mean, you’ve already shagged, so you might as well just do it again,” Camille joked.

She knew how Julia had felt after their first encounter, but she could also tell from how she talked about William now, that all hard feelings were gone, and it was ok to joke about it. 

“Nah, I mean he’s great for sure, but it seems like we’re becoming quite good friends, which is nice so, I think I’d just keep it at that,” Julia smiled, thinking of the walk and talk from the other day, where she’d really gotten to know William a lot better. 

“Alright bab, it’s good that you’re taking care of y’self, I mean, I love you and I just want you to be happy!” Camille elaborated.

“Thanks love, I am and honestly I really do feel amazing here - it’s just all going so well and I’m so happy that you made me move,” Julia chuckled. 

“Course! I’d do anything for you, even make you move across the fucking world and away for me.”

They both shared a moment of laughter. 

“Yeah well, for now it seems like it’s the best thing I’ve done so far,” Julia offered a friendly smile. 

As they hung up, Julia had a wonderful feeling. Everything about moving to Toronto had proved to be the right choice so far; her work was great, she’d got some nice colleagues, as well as made some really good friends like Stephanie, Mitch, Auston and William. It was like everything was suddenly falling into place, and nothing could throw her off course.

Thursday 20th - DAL 2 @ TOR 3 (OT)

On the following Thursday, Julia and Charlie experienced yet another unforgettable hockey night as they attended the home game together. This time, the Toronto Maple Leafs were up against the Dallas Stars, and the match proved to be an intense battle from the very start. The game was tightly contested, with both teams showcasing their skills and determination. Julia and Charlie were on the edge of their seats, cheering passionately for their beloved Maple Leafs with every shot on goal and critical defensive play. As the regular time came to an end, the score was tied at 2-2 overtime commenced, and the atmosphere in the arena became even more charged with anticipation. Charlie's heart pounded in her chest as she watched the Maple Leafs and the Stars fight relentlessly for the winning goal.

In a heart-stopping moment, none other than Auston Matthews surged forward and managed to score a thrilling overtime goal, securing a dramatic 3-2 victory against Dallas. The arena erupted with joy, and Julia and Charlie shared in the euphoria, celebrating their team's hard-fought triumph.

After the thrilling match, the girls, accompanied by the friends and partners of the players, made their way to the players' locker room for a celebration. The atmosphere was electric, filled with excitement and camaraderie as they gathered to congratulate the victorious team. Stephanie warmly included Julia and Charlie, delighted to see them partaking in the post-game festivities. Auston and Mitch joined the group, their faces glowing with pride and joy after the hard-fought overtime win.

"Can you believe that game?" Charlie exclaimed, still in awe of the incredible action they had just witnessed.

Auston nodded with a grin, "It was tough, but we managed to pull through. The support from the fans in the arena was unbelievable."

"Yeah, the whole place was roaring, and pumped us up to totally own the ice!!" Mitch added, doing his majestic winning gestures. 

Charlie chuckled, "The game had us totally on the edge of our seats the whole time!”

“It was bloody amazing!” Julia chimed in, making the guys laugh.

“Wow, that is like the most British comment I’ve ever heard,” Auston commented with a chuckle. 

After his interview, William walked past the group, offering Julia a cheeky smirk and a wink.

"Enjoyed the show?" he teased, referring to his impressive performance with one goal and one assist.

Julia playfully responded, "Well, you weren't half bad, I suppose," as he continued to chat with some other teammates.

The conversation among the guys revolved around the game and the challenges they faced to secure the win. They were all impressed, particularly by Auston's game-winning goal in overtime.

"I've got to ask," Julia said, "how does a boy from Scottsdale, Arizona, get into ice hockey?" She asked Auston curiously.

"Well… actually it was my uncle who got me into it by bringing me to the rink and some games," Auston told. "I mean, no one in my family actually played, but when I wanted to get into it, they were all supportive and have been ever since," he chuckled a bit, reminiscing about his childhood and how he’d worked his way to the NHL over the years.

“Sounds impressive,” Julia remarked. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I'm aware of how everyone works insanely hard to be here, but it sort of seems like a lot of players are like born into it, whereas you weren’t," she smiled, and Auston nodded, chuckling.

“Yeah, I guess so."

Standing nearby, William couldn't help but overhear their conversation while chatting with fellow Swedes Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren. Julia's words about being "born into it" hit him unexpectically, and he briefly felt a sting about his own hockey lineage, being the son of an NHL player.

Hang on, was that what she thought of him?

Shaking off his thoughts, Sandin called him into the locker room to shower and wrap up the day.

**

While the guys were finishing up, Julia and Charlie passed the time by strolling the halls, admiring Toronto Maple Leafs posters and merchandise, and making a quick visit to the ladies' room.

Charlie couldn't help but inquire about Julia's interactions with William, her tone suggesting juicy information. "So, what's going on between you and Willy?" she asked, having noticed the playful banter between them.

Julia shrugged and smiled coyly. "Nothing much," she replied casually, although she couldn't help but remember the one time, they had shared an intimate session, a secret known to no one else.

Charlie pressed on, "Come on, JJ, he's totally flirting with you, and you're not exactly shutting it down." Julia chuckled at her friend's observation.

"Well, I can't deny the playful banter," she admitted, "but it's all just friendly. Nothing serious going on."

Charlie nodded, understandingly. They continued walking, and Charlie complimented how much fun Julia seemed to be having with William.

“Not to mention he’s insanely hot,” she added.

"That's definitely part of it," Julia chuckled. "I mean, after everything with Ezra, which was all so serious, I just appreciate how laid-back and easy-going William is," she explained.

"So, neither of you sees each other as more than friends?" Charlie inquired, but Julia simply shook her head.

"He's amazing, and I genuinely like spending time with him. But I doubt he'd ever be interested in someone like me. I bet I’m way too serious and dull for him," she laughed, unaware that her following words once again were being overheard in the locker room.

By William, who had taken longer to finish up. He was always the last one to get ready before a game, and almost always the last one to leave the arena. As he was putting on his shoes, he could hear the girls’ voices in the hall. He didn’t really mean to eavesdrop, but he couldn’t help himself when he heard Julia talk.

"I mean, William's all fun and jokes - he doesn't really take anything seriously, so..."

As Julia spoke, William couldn't help but wonder if she was talking about him. They walked through the halls as she continued sharing her thoughts.

"He acts a bit, I don't know, goofy maybe, and like everything is just always so easy for him," Julia added.

Listening to her words, William felt a pang of hurt. He had thought that they had formed a genuine connection during their recent walk and talk. He had enjoyed their time together and had opened up about his childhood, something he rarely did so quickly. He felt like they had developed a close friendship, and their conversations had made him believe he knew her quite well.

But now, her words indicated otherwise. It was clear she didn't really know him at all. She didn't understand the hard work he had put into getting where he was. Yes, his father had been an NHL player, but William had worked tirelessly to make a name for himself. He didn't choose to be naturally gifted at hockey, nor did he apologise for it.

William was known for his laid-back and easy-going demeanour on the team, but that didn't mean he didn't put in the effort. He stayed after training, putting in extra workouts and enduring cold baths to maintain his physique. So, Julia was mistaken about him.

He couldn't help but huff in frustration upon hearing her words. He hadn't expected her to hold such misconceptions about him, and it stung.

“He’s a positive influence,” Julia finished, as she and Charlie were back with the others.

“Well, I still believe he’s flirting with you, and you’re also smitten, even though you won’t admit it” Charlie said, giving Julia a flirty look. But Julia simply chuckled.

***

After the guys had finished their media commitments and changed into their post-game attire, Mitch, Steph, and Auston proposed going out for a late dinner, a suggestion to which Charlie and Julia happily agreed.

Standing a few feet away, William was packing up his bag when Julia walked over to him, a warm smile on her face.

"Hey, Willy, do you fancy coming out with us for something to eat, or are you busy?" Julia asked, but William just shrugged.

"Hmm, I don't know, do you want me to come with you?" he replied, his tone devoid of much emotion.

"Of course, why wouldn't I want you to come with us?" Julia responded with a light chuckle.

"Well, you know, maybe because you think I'm just a spoiled kid who doesn't take anything too seriously..." William retorted in a serious tone.

Julia was taken aback. Where was this coming from?

"What are you on about?" she asked, giving him a concerned look. She was genuinely surprised he would say something like this.

"You know, earlier, when you said that thing about Auston, how admirable it was that he worked so hard to make it to the NHL, while the rest of us are just born into it," William's voice remained calm but firm.

"Willy, that's not what I said..." Julia tried to defend herself.

"But it's what you meant, isn't it?" he pressed.

"No, I... no, it's not," Julia hesitated. She knew it had sounded that way, and yes, there might be some truth to William's accusations, but it was not at all how she had intended it to be understood. "Seriously, Will, what's going on with you?" she asked, growing increasingly worried.

What had she done to provoke such a reaction from him all of a sudden?

"I'm just being serious... see, I can actually take things seriously..." he said, almost mocking her.

Julia felt anger rising within her. How could he talk to her like that?

"Okay, seriously, what's that about?" she demanded, her tone firm.

William let out a sigh. "I heard what you said to Charlie, earlier..." he confessed. "You said that I don't take anything seriously... that everything comes so easily to me."

"You heard our conversation?" Julia asked.

"Yeah, I heard you when you walked past the locker room."

"Oh, so you heard our entire conversation. Or did you just hear one bit and decided to get all pissy about it without knowing the context?" Julia tried to maintain her composure.

Their tension had drawn the attention of the others, who were watching the exchange as if they were characters in a romantic comedy.

"Well, I..." William was taken aback. No, he hadn't heard the entire conversation. "No, I didn't," he admitted, sighing.

"Wow, you're really something," Julia said, shaking her head slightly. "Well, maybe next time you should listen to everything before assuming what people think about you," she added.

Feeling guilty for jumping to conclusions, William found himself at a loss for words.

"You’re such a prick, Willy..." Julia huffed as she walked away.

William let out another small sigh, watching her walk past the group, and he noticed Charlie looking at him.

"She actually said some really nice things about you," Charlie said with a gentle expression before they all left the arena, leaving William alone with his thoughts. 

****

The following day turned out to be a rather hectic one for Julia. She arrived at the office bright and early, all set to tackle her extensive to-do list. This included fine-tuning project plans and making sure all the necessary materials were prepared for her meeting with Andrew.

Throughout the day, Julia was in constant motion, shuttling between different departments and her desk. She had little time to spare for meals or coffee breaks. She found herself quite taken with the energetic pace of the office, even though it could be rather exhausting at times.

On this particular day, Julia achieved an impressive level of success. She flawlessly delivered all required materials, demonstrated adept financial acumen in managing the budget, and her dependable computer performed without a hitch, despite its continuous operation. She even managed to find a moment to catch up on Charlie's recent encounter with Auston from the previous evening. It was a thoroughly accomplished day.

They had spent the night together, and Charlie hadn't held back in describing the details of their actions, resulting in the not-so-surprising conclusion that Auston had been the best sexual experience she had ever had. Julia found amusement in her friend's very content state of mind and couldn't suppress a chuckle upon learning about the exciting experiences they'd had. 

But now, after a long day, all Julia needed was some food. So, she decided to order a pasta dish and some Mozzarella sticks for takeaway from Sugo – a place the hockey boys had recommended the moment she mentioned that Italian cuisine was her favourite.

She quickly packed up her things and headed for the door.

As she waited for her order, she suddenly felt a presence nearby. It was William. Clearly, he’d had the same idea of grabbing some quick takeaway on his way home. 

When heød walked into the restaurant, he immediately spotted Julia. His first instinct was to make a quick exit, but he’d thought that would be childish and absurd. After all, they were still friends, weren't they?

So instead, he moved towards her slowly, and Julia caught sight of him in his cap, tracksuit, and trainers. She turned to face him, offering a friendly smile as their eyes met.

"Hey," he said softly, still feeling the guilt from yesterday.

"Hi," she replied, matching his low tone of voice. 

They stood there for a few seconds, not speaking, just simply sharing the air around them.

"I'm sorry," William said.

Julia let out a small sigh. "For what part of it?"

"For what I said, yesterday… I shouldn't have said it like that," William explained, but Julia just gave him a soft smile. A part of her didn't want him to get off that easily. But another part of her could also sense that he truly was sorry. And she didn’t really want to be angry with him. 

"Willy, I don't care about how you said it…" she spoke softly, "What pissed me off was that you thought that I'd think so little of you."

He looked at her with intense eyes. A lump filling his chest.

"I know that what I said to Auston came out wrong, and I'm sorry for that," Julia added. "But what you said, about what I thought of you, is not true…"

William offered a little smile, feeling relieved that he'd completely misunderstood Julia's chats with Auston and Charlie. Those thoughts had left him feeling a bit hurt, which was something new to him. And it had been in that moment he realised that he didn't want Julia to see him that way. 

Surprisingly enough, he had wanted her to think better of him, only to find out she already did.

"Still… I'm sorry, JJ. I shouldn't have got mad at you like that," he said, but Julia just lightly shook her head, offering a forgiving smile. 

"It's all good," she said. "It was a terrible misunderstanding, and it’s water under the bridge."

“Thanks,” William smiled, relieved that Julia didn't hold a grudge or had been angrier with him.

"Geez, Wonderboy - you really need to stop doing things you then have to apologise for later," she chuckled, which made him laugh as well.

"Yeah, I suppose I do."

As if on cue, Julia's order was called out, and she went to grab it with William right behind her.

"So, uh… what's your plan now, with the food?" he asked. 

Julia gave him a slightly confused look.

"Well, my plan is to eat it… you know, as you do with food," she said, chuckling.

"I mean, are you going to eat it with someone…" William added with a shy smirk, which made Julia smile, catching on to where he was going with this.

"No, I'm all by myself."

"Do you want to, you know, eat dinner together?" he asked light bighting his lip, as if he was a bit nervous, and Julia nodded. "I live nearby; we can go to my place, if you'd like?"

Julia couldn't help but be intrigued by his exceptional charm. God, she hated how charming he was - well, a part of her hated it, the other part loved it and couldn't resist it.

"Sure," she simply replied. 

For some reason, this man really had a talent for getting under her skin. And she secretly enjoyed it. 

As William's order was called out as well, he led the way to his condo only a few streets away.

Brain Rot time.

The way I portray Hana and Alope has vastly changed in the past year compared to the rest.

For Hana: her eyes got smaller, she smiles less, also has boxy hair. I think it's because A.) She's older than I originally made her. Went from 14-15yrs -> 17-18yrs. (B.) I've also changed her character some from when I first made her 9 years ago. In the oldest version I wrote, she was a wide eyed newbie. Now she's kinda skeptical from the start. So she is always half-lidded... Except the rare occasion she opens her eyes all the way. Like this:

Or later on in Oos.

The boxy hair? An artstyle thing. I do like drawing Hana, but when I try to go too closely off the game’s artwork… I don’t know how to put it. It doesn’t feel like Hana is my character anymore? So took more liberties with her. I didn’t start doing this till I started writing her more… It makes drawing her way more comfortable! 

For Alope:

Surprisingly, her eyes are around the same size. Juust in a different style. Her hair tho… Sheesh.

I used to follow the artbook really closely for drawing Alope’s hair. It has an example of her hair NOT disheveled, and… it didn’t feel like Alope when I drew it like that. SO ACTUALLY!! Whenever I draw Alope I’m trying to get that comfortability I have with characters like Hana and Enid. She might not be consistent, but each time I draw her we get closer!!

Main differences besides the hair? A.) Alope is also older. She used to be younger than Hana back in the day? But she’s 19-20yrs rn. B.) Abs. That’s all. I’ve decided each pic she’ll get more sculpted. (They aren’t rendered yet!). C.) Considering having her tanner hmmm everyone in eo3 could use a tan or… an eye color that isn’t weezer blue. *Stares at Enid*

OH, and ALOPE’S SHIRT……….. The real shirt… It’s actually in OoS, I’m just not drawing that on her reference. I’m not a huge fan of underboob.

But I think that’s everything :] I spent the day rendering these two… and I wanted to let some of the thoughts out my brain… So if you’ve made it this far, thank you ~ 🩷

10 facts about my squishies

I got tagged by @lumilasi

.3.; my dear friend you do realize EVERYTHING I do is random?

Now to pick 10 ö3e hmmm let’s see…I think i copy you! 5 character, 2 facts!

Lyna

1. when designed her i was very into norse and celtic mythology. I blame marvel and thor for it. So i looked for HOURS on google, insta and other sites for dresses as a reference. I also read a lot about some Symbols and tried to get those into the design of her dress.

2. Her original name was Loona, she was once a snowhite fox/wolf sonic oc but now she evolved and i really like her design a lot. Plus she is one of my alltime favs.

Hitomi

1. after my buddy lumi created ichirou and jurou i had the MASSIVE urge to try to make a spiderkid too. Though with the rules she set i felt i bit uncomfortable so Hitomi is a different type of spider creature.

2. Komi-san from Komi-san can’t communicate was a huge inspiration for her. Hitomi often does the classic Komi-round eyes lol

Ace

1. That dude is a very old Oc of mine and he has gone through many many make-overs. But one thing remained; he is a grump

2. His design is inspired by Heimdall from Thor 3. yes again marvel. I just really liked the golden eyes and dread locks kay?

Youko

1. my crazy chimera bean. She is a wildcard and pretty much a child. But don’t take her lightly. She can beat full grown man up.

2. her name means sheep, which is funny because she is not very sheep like anymore. But still a cute name.

Aika

1. Aika is a newer Oc of mine and she is actually part of the Kimetsu no yaiba universe. I created her together with another friend for a fan fiction she wanted to write about Tengen and his 4th wife. She is his childhood friend and first love. She taught Tengen and the girls how normal people live and just some basic non ninja stuff. She and Tengen also have a daughter named Shion. Buuuuut my friend didn’t like her nor the story and went with an over powered rare breathing style slayer.

2. oh yeah never posted a pic of her huh? Well i can show you a concept picture as fact 2! I think i also have a sketch of shion. Shion looks like her mom but has Tengens hair and eyecolor.

Cater Gets a New Do

Cater stood under one of the various trees of the courtyard. His hands were deep in his pockets as he swayed heel to toe. As a cool breeze brushed his skin, the leaves above him rustled slightly. Again, Cater glanced around the courtyard, and looked behind the tree. With a sigh, he pulled out his phone from his pocket, both to check the time and to check for any Magicam notifications. Recently there hasn’t been much going on at Night Raven College nor at his dorm. It was about two days since his last post, which was unlike him. However, he felt a sort of creative block recently, and no matter how many selfies or pics he took, he didn’t feel they were up-to-par to post to Magicam.

“Oh, Cater-senpai, what’re you doing here?”

Cater glanced up from his phone, a relaxed smile appeared on his face when he saw his familiar underclassman. “Hiya Ace-chan!” He raised his hand by his face, making a peace sign. “Yuu asked me to meet her here after school—said she wanted to ask me something. I wonder what it is~”

“Heh, I think that’s obvious.” A smug smile grew on Ace’s face.

“Hm?” Cater dropped his hand to rest on his side. “What’re you thinking, Ace-chan?”

“Nothing~ Just get ready for a new confess tag to post on Magicam,” Ace chuckled to himself, strolling away.

Cater blinked and looked down at his phone screen before quickly shutting off the screen. He grabbed a piece of his hair with his thumb and finger as he stored his phone back into his pocket. “Heh, as if.” But his mind began to wonder.

This school is surrounded by boys, so it’d be no surprise if Yuu-chan got a crush on someone.

She hangs out with the Adeuce combo a lot, so I’d first guess she’d like one of them.

Ah, but they’re not the brightest crayons in the crayon box.

As a human, Yuu-chan would probably prefer another human so they’d be more compatible. At NRC, that would leave Heartslyabyul, Pomefiore, and Scarabia.

Pomefiore is kinda intense in their own way.

I heard a lot happen as Scarabia…

Well, a lot happened since Riddle’s overblot too…

Now that I think about it, Yuu-chan always smiles in the morning when she sees me. It probably isn’t much though since I’m always acting peppy anyway.

Cater used his index finger to lightly twirl his hair in thought.

…But if she did confess… What would I say?

His ears tinted pink as he glanced down. The beat of his heart quickened slightly.

Well, I admit Yuu-chan is a little cute.

Another breeze flew by, rustling the leaves of the tree he stood by. Cater glanced up the wood. Soon the season will be changing, which will probably give Cater better potential selfies for his Magicam account.

“Senpai!” a voice yelled in the distance. Cater immediately turned his head toward its source and saw Yuu running toward him. “I’m sorry for making you wait!” she exclaimed. Yuu approached, stopping a few feet in front of him, out of breath.  She slouched over with her hands on her thighs, trying to catch her breath. “Trein-sensei made me stay late since I did so bad on his last test…” she whined. Cater chuckled, “Heheh, Trein-sensei can be quite strict. I know all too well.”

After a few moments to balance her breathing, Yuu heaved a sigh and stood straight up. She looked directly toward Cater with a determined look in her eyes. “Anyway, senpai!” Cater flinched. Abruptly, he felt his chest tighten. He glanced away from her. “Y-Yeah?”

Yuu grabbed Cater’s hand and held it gently in both of hers. “Senpai, I need you!” she exclaimed.

“Huh?!” Cater erupted. “M-Me?” He couldn’t help but notice how soft her hands felt against his.

Is…Is she really gonna confess?!

Okay, she is more than a little cute now that I see her more closely.

We could also post couple-y photos on Magicam.

I can see the comments now. “OMG so cute!” “I’m so jelly I wanna boyfriend/girlfriend~” “You two look so cute together!”

Wait, I need to consider her feelings too!

Ah, but she would probably expect me to wanna take selfies together.

Wait again, what about when she goes back to her world?!

“Senpai?” Yuu asked innocently, still holding his hand. He snapped back to reality.

“Ahhhh! Fine! Okay! I’ll do it!”

“Yay! Uh, Senpai, why is your face red? Are you feeling okay?”

Cater covered his face with one hand, looking toward the ground. The sound of his heartbeat rang through his ears. “I-I’m fine…” he muttered.

“Great!” Yuu smiled. “Can we do it at your room then?”

“…Huh?”

“I think I could also use two of your clones for it.”

“What?!”

-----

Yuu opened a tote bag swung over her shoulder and began to set out various hairbrushes, a curling iron, flat iron, and other hair products on Cater’s dresser. Cater stood by, watching her bring the products out. He timidly put his hands together and covered his nose and mouth with them.

She… She just wants to practice different hair styles on me…

“Cater-senpai, would you sit here?” Yuu beckoned. Cater twitched a bit in surprise. He looked over and saw her gesture toward a chair, holding a salon cape. “Y-Yeah.” He stepped forward, plopping down on the chair.

“By the way, Yuu-chan.”

“Hm?” she asked, pulling the cape around him to clip.

“Why me…exactly?”

“Well,” she began, taking the clip out from Cater’s hair. “You have nice length hair and it’s easier to try different styles with your hair. Plus, your unique magic makes it so I can practice multiple hairstyles at once! Oh, I don’t need them yet though.”

“Is that so…” he trailed off. Yuu gently ran her fingertips through Cater’s hair. Each time the brushed his hair with her fingers, it felt soothing to say the least. She stepped toward the dresser to grab a brush. Without realizing, Cater let his lids fall as she brushed through his orange strands of hair. Her movements were so gentle and tender, any tension he felt in his body just oozed away.

“I’ll just start with something simple,” Yuu said, setting down the brush and grabbing a fine-toothed comb.

“Okay,” Cater briefly replied.

She used the end of the comb to separate the top section of his hair to carefully tie into a rubber band. Once in, she tugged a bit at the hair in the rubber band at the top of his scalp to add some volume. When satisfied, Yuu again used the end of the comb to section out a piece of his hair at the side of his head.

“Yuu-chan,” Cater spoke up as she began to braid the section of hair. His eyelids still shut.

“Oh, does something hurt or feel uncomfortable?”

“No,” he quicky said, “I was just wondering why you’re practicing hairstyles on me.”

“Yeah, hold on, lemme finish this braid first, Senpai... There, that looks good,” Yuu said, tying the braid into another rubber band. “Well, there’s a couple of hairstyles I wanna try for myself but I wanted to practice them. But there’s a few I wanted to try but hmmm… How should I put it?” She took her comb to section out another piece of hair at the other side of his head. She took that piece and combed it to looked less disorderly. “It’s hard to figure out how to do hairstyles that have the focal points on the back, or that are consistent throughout. I don’t have anyone to kinda help me with that, but I thought if I could try it on your hair, I can get a good idea how to do it for myself, I guess? Plus, I can practice more than one at a time because of your unique magic! So, it’s hitting two birds with one stone, you could say.”

Yuu took the new section of hair and braided it as well. “Ohh,” Cater said.

“Whatever is done to your clones doesn’t reflect your appearance when they disappear, right?” She rubber banded the section of hair.

“No, not really.”

“Good…” Yuu smiled to herself, combining the two braids to the first piece of hair she rubber banded earlier. “Ah, this one is looking cute.” She grabbed a pink ribbon to tie a bow around the three pieces of hair. “I thought it was gonna be easy.”

“What’s it look like?” Cater asked.

“I’ll take a pic,” Yuu said, taking out her cellphone Crowley had given to her not too long ago. She snapped a quick note before facing the screen toward him. “See?”

“Oh, that’s a cute look! It’d probably would look really cute on you, Yuu-chan!”

There was a brief pause. Cater felt his cheeks redden. He just said what popped into his head without realizing it. The man was grateful Yuu couldn’t see his face. Yuu pulled her phone away from view, and quietly replied, “You think so…?”

There was another short pause before Cater spoke up, “So, you said you needed two clones to practice?”

“Uh, yeah,” Yuu answered abruptly. It involves using a curling iron, so I wanted a backup for when I mess up.”

“Okay, Split Card!”

-----

“Hey, Yuu-chan,” said Cater copy #1, “you did good makin’ these wavy curls.” He shook his head joyfully, singing out the curled waves in his hair. “They’re so bouncy!”

“Oh yeah,” said Cater copy #2, “I have this nice braid crown going over my head.” He gestured toward the top of his head. As he said, a braid wrapped around his head, and a few strands of hair dangled from the crown. “Truly I am King Cater!”

“Which one is Yuu-chan working on now? Number 4?” Cater copy #3 said, rocking an orange mohawk.

“A-Are you sure you want me to shave it?” Yuu asked timidly to copy #4, hesitantly holding a pair of clippers.

“Yeah, sure, go ahead!” Cater copy #4 delightfully replied. “Doesn’t affect the original! Plus, it’ll make for fun selfies to put on Magicam.” The other copies shouted, “Yeah!” in unison.

“I don’t need my followers to think I changed my hairstyle 5 times in one day!” the original Cater spoke up.

Yuu had asked Cater to make two clones of himself originally, to have one as a backup, but found she only needed one try to figure out how to curl waves with a curling iron. Then she asked for another two to try the braid crown in case she needed a backup, and then it just snowballed from there.

“Cater, you want me to try shaving the side of your head?”

“Yeah!” Copy #4 said, “I always wondered about those asymmetrical cuts!”

Yuu glanced over at the original Cater. He just shook his hand as if to say, “Go ahead.” Like copy #4 said, it doesn’t affect the original.

“Okay, here I go…” Still unsure, Yuu turned on the clippers, causing a faint buzzing sound.

Hard thumps could be made out in the Heartslabyul dorm hallway carpet. The dorm leader was gritting his teeth, his face red in anger. “What need would he have to make his clones and make such a racket?!”

“Calm down, Riddle,” Trey kept pace beside Riddle. Trey’s efforts were only brushed aside as Riddle trampled on, beelining to Cater’s room. As they neared, loud sounds of giggling and laughter echoed behind the door. Ready to cast his unique magic the second he opened the door; Riddle grabbed the doorknob with great vigor. The next second, Trey’s arm swooped in front of Riddle’s body.

“Riddle,” he said. His voice was gentle, but stern. “Let’s access what’s going on before doing anything drastic, okay?” Trey smiled reassuringly. Riddle took a deep breath in before heaving a heavy sigh. The red faded from his face. “Fine,” the dorm leader said, almost with a pout.

“Uh, Cater-senpai, er, senpais?” a female voice said behind the door.

“Don’t worry!” said Cater.

“We’re just having fun, Yuu-chan!” said what again, sounded like Cater.

“Yuu?!” Trey stated. His eyes opened wide in shock.

“That’s it!” Riddle forced the door open, stomping inside before yelling. “Cater!”

“Yuu, are you--?” Trey began but cut himself off.

“Oh, uh, hi,” Yuu awkwardly waved at the two. Not in any danger, but a bit tense, Yuu was sitting in the chair the previous Caters sat in before. Multiple Cater clones were pointing at her hair or held a piece of it in her hand.

“A fishtail braid would look great in her hair!” said the Cater with a braided crown.

“You know our sisters said we sucked at it growing up!” said the Cater with wavy curls.

“Well practice makes perfect right?!” said the braided crown Cater.

“I think a French braid is a classic. Plus, we were usually good at them growing up,” said Cater with a side-shave. His arms were crossed as he stared at Yuu’s hair in thought.

“Uh, Caters, maybe let’s not tug at Yuu-chan’s hair,” said the original Cater, his hair still with the braided back style.

“Don’t be so stingy,” braided crown Cater said.

“Yeah! I know you’d wanna do a fun hairdo with her too, since you could take a couple-like selfie with it!” said cater with the side-shave.

“Wha--? Why would I?!” the original Cater argued, but pink flushed his cheeks. He dared not look at Yuu’s face. What sort of expression she was making, he had no idea.

“’Cause we’re all thinking the same thing?” said Cater with the braided crown. “We haven’t posted anything on Magicam in a while anyway.”

“Uh, I kinda have some other homework I needed to get to tonight…” Yuu mumbled, looking as lost.

“I think we should try something new entirely!” slipped in Cater with a mohawk. In his hand were the clippers from before. With a smug look on his face, he turned them on. Yuu yelped.

“OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!”

Riddle’s signature collars appeared on all the Caters’ necks. Then, all the clones poofed out of existence, leaving just the original Cater, still in the collar.

“Oh, hi there, uh, dorm leader…” Cater mumbled, trying to avoid any eye contact.

“What’s going on in here?” Trey asked.

“Hair styling practice?” Cater hesitantly answered.

Riddle sighed. He crossed his arms and stood with authoritatively. “Cater, you’re making too much noise. Also, it’s past the allowed time for visitors. I won’t punish you for breaking the rules this time but be aware. I won’t be as forgiving next time.”  

“Y-Yeah, I’ll be sure not to let this happen again,” Cater said, bowing toward Riddle.

“Glad it wasn’t something major…” Trey remarked. His forearm leaned against the side of the doorway. “Alright, Riddle, let’s let them clean up.”

“Hmph.” Riddle turned on his heel and walked back into the hallway, Trey following closely behind.

“Uh, hey!” Cater said, running toward the door. “What about this collar?” A few seconds later, the collar vanished from his neck. He heaved a sigh and walked back into his dorm. Yuu was already packing up her supplies, and just about finished.

“Um,” Cater spoke up, gaining her attention. Yuu looked toward him, zipping her bag up and swinging the handle over her shoulder. He put his hand at the back of his head. For a few moments he stared at the floor, shifting his feet, before looking back toward the girl. “Sorry, I didn’t realize it’d get so…hectic.” He chuckled. Yuu looked toward her back, fiddling with the strap of it between her fingers. Cater took notice, lowering his hand from his head, staring at her expectantly. When Yuu finally spoke up, her eyes were still at her fingers. “We can…still take a selfie together…if you want.”

Cater jolted. “A selfie…?”

His chest tightened when she nodded timidly, a soft pink in her cheeks.

-----

Cater sat on the bench at the foot of his bed. His leg was bent with his foot on the bench, and his cheek squished as he rested his face on his knee. He looked idly down at his phone screen, swiping through his camera roll. He selected one of the selfies with Yuu recently, and chose to open it in an editing app. The default recommended filter was to add hearts around their faces.

He turned off the screen, setting his phone screen down on the bench. “I don’t really wanna post any of the selfies…” he mumbled. After a few moments, he vocalized a heavy sigh. Cater raised his other foot to the bench, then used his legs to launch himself backwards to fall into his bed.

“I liked the idea of a French braid on her…”

"absolutely honking on the flute" is the best description ever lol. I'm tempted to have my brother that did band listen to it, he's good at saying what instrument something sounds like for sure. there was a song another group I like does that has this great brass sound in the back of the chorus and he was like "oh yeah thats supposed to be trombone for sure, a trumpet doesn't sound the same" (1/5)

wonwoo: 넌 내 기억을 지워야 돼 I'm poison, I know I can't take it no more..

the flute: 

they really have done such a variety of concepts yeah! I hope regardless of if they ever do sexy concept again or not that they don't ever feel locked into a certain kind of concept. their versatility is so fantastic its always something new and different (to some extent) each comeback. and sell those hats I know ppl who would buy one LOL 😂dino tries REAL HARD to be my bias but he hasn't succeeded yet, I bias hao!

teen,age was for sure a no skip album, every single song slaps. as far as al1/dwc tho it's just all of it. I think the songs are masterpieces (uhhhh hello, habit anyone?), I really liked the styling during that era, my fave weekly idol appearance was during that time, it was when diamond edge tour happened, we'll be here all week if I keep going haha 😅and YESSS SEUNGKWAN BIAS!! AN INTELLECTUAL! he used to be my main bias! and my cat may or may not be named after him 👀

heartbroken divorcee makes me think of his part at the beginning of dont listen in secret for some reason. there's that little like waiver? wobble? idk? in his voice that makes it feel extra emotional and sad, it's so good. his temper is so funny, he loves the members so much and they seem to always take it all in good jest :') and we get to see his caring side too plenty. as far as variety goes

do you have a favorite variety moment of his? is there any variety show in particular you want to see him on in the future? sorry these messages are so long!! tumblr wants to give me one teeny paragraph to reply when there's so much to say! -secret carat

omg if u ask ur bro to listen to fear and he can tell what that sound is, i would be so grateful :’’) i mean it may just be a machine making that sound, but to me it sounds like a flute :P

so tru!!!! i love that SVT is always trying new things with each comeback! keeps me on my toes ^^ LMAO u convinced me! im quitting my day job to become a full time SVT hat maker :P oooooh so ur a 8star 👀 interesting 👀👀 what made him ur bias? whats ur fave thing about him?

habit my beloved <3 ma’am ur TASTE 👌👌👌 oh!!! was seungkwan ur first bias? :> omg u gotta show me pics of cat seungkwan (after this secret santa) i love cats 😭❤️ omg yes!!! and have u heard his cover of forsake(연)?? it’s honestly the best example of his vocal abilities imo, like his RANGE! his belting was sosososoooo good >.< and the EMOTION and SORROW he put into that performance! incredible!!! and when he pauses in the last line of the song, and takes that shaky breath, i get CHILLS 😌😌

hmmm my fave variety moment of his is that time on weekly idol (or maybe it was idol room), where svt played rock, paper, scissors with the hammers, and joshua knocked him down instantly 😂😂 also on the first one fine day, that day where hao was feeling sick </3 so seungkwan had to take his spot and go catch abalone, and scoups was trying to wake him up, but seungkwan was all sleepy and whining 🥰 he was just so cute in that moment :P omg i’d LOVE to see seungkwan do a variety show with kids :’’) i know he’s kinda done it in other shows before, but i wanna revive hello baby, and watch 13 dudes take care of an infant <3 maybe even TWO (2) infants 😌 it’d be so cute, and i know it’d make seungkwan super happy :’’)

also dw about sending long messages!!! im happy to read it all ^^ do u use the tumblr app? i notice that when i send asks on mobile, theres no word limit, so u can write long replies no problem :>

https://oh-honey-styles.tumblr.com/post/639620332155731968/the-only-reasoning-that-would-make-sense-as-to-why#notes

I thought this was a really interesting take on the pics and stuff

imma put this in a read more for the sake of everyone’s sanity bc this is really just theorizing™ now

hmmm well first of all, agreed that these things do happen in hollywood, like this fandom connects pr stunts immediately with larries and delusion but like......no lmao it can be real and it can be used for pr and we’ve seen harry do it before, believe it or not! i just think a gossip mag approaching them with a “bad story” wouldn’t lead to this bc honestly why would they/harry care? he’s had way way worse shit written about him. this kinda thing lasts for about 3 days tops and then everyone gets over it, i can’t see how that would’ve hurt them at all. what i can see what MAY have happened is they got caught by paps kissing it up during nye (or earlier....overlap?) or doing smth else incriminating and maybe paps or a mag who bought the pics contacted them (for a statement?) and harry’s ppl made a deal with them, so instead of publishing those pics (which must’ve been so bad that they didn’t want them to be published in any case), they’d give paps access to the wedding/that weekend and they (page six? daily mail?) would run with the story they had their say in instead, aka they’re very serious yada yada. like i do believe they’re dating and shit but these wedding pics are very inorganic, especially for harry styles, and there’s literally no doubt about them giving access to the paps (it’s a very private venue and it’s not like the azoffs can’t afford to get rid of paps or are dumb enough not to know how to hold them back (also why the fuck would the paps be there in the first place)) and the slow release of these pics from the same days over a longer time period has an agenda behind it too. doing this whole thing for promo just seems off to me bc maaaybe for grammy voting but like, does that really help? and then the movie is SO far off, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to pull that now tbh. but like, they are really doing a piss poor job luv if they’re trying to gain the upper hand with this lmao they dug their grave at least 30 meters deeper 😭 not only are ppl talking about olivia’s separation just being announced, them starting to date while the movie isn’t even done yet, her being the director, the 10 year age difference - on top of all of that they’re also now calling them out for being irresponsible fucks by holding and attending a wedding while living in the epicenter of the pandemic and then not even wearing masks in the other pics. like what exactly was their game plan here? bc whatever it was, it failed miserably 

[bangtansfavwriter]

🌷hobi having a crush on you 🌷

-hobi and you were inseparable, and when I say inseparable I mean it

-he introduced you to all of his friends and everyone knew you guys became a package deal

- he loooves spending time with you , which would already be a dead giveaway bc hobi's a really social guy, so him choosing to spend his time with you so often would already say a lot

-very playful and spontaneous, looots of laughter together

-you guys' favourite thing to do together would be karaoke and the two of you would put some singers to shame bc singing - check - dancing - audience wildin' and partying to you two - check bc the whole neighbourhood knew you by now and people would leave their own booth at the bar to come and watch you two (which would turn to spontaneous parties that would be absolutely legendary (and the place would be so packed that even dispatch would be like fuck no we ain't goin in))

-you'd come to watch bts' dance practices sometimes and just sit there and watch this completely different side of hobi come out

- he dances with such a passion that you can't do anything but watch him in awe, completely enthralled by the way he moves

-this was also something that made you fall for him slowly, you loved the fact that he was absolutely passionate about everything he does and puts his energy in

-and you admired him so much, bc he was still humble about his talent & also this innate ability to light up every room he walks in

- you almost felt like icarus trying to bask in the sun and sometimes felt like your feelings for him may get you too close and you would get hurt

-and whenever you would get into that mood, it would be hobi himself to snap you out of it, unknowingly

"hobi, there's no reason for me to come to the christmas party, you guys are like family, why would i be there?"

"nonsense, you're family, too. i want you to be there." ---and that's it, that's how he handled your moods, he always made you feel cherished and most importantly loved--

- he would play with your hair a lot and would be very touchy in general, the supreme method to shut down hobi.exe would be playing with his hair, he'd legit lay down and and go quiet, but chances are he's gonna fall asleep (and boy would he get cranky when you wake him up)

- he'd love to make you laugh and sing lil songs and do lil dances for you when you would make tea or something ("look it's y/n, making tea for mee, hobiii~, this sure looks like chamomile, chamomile is just my style, my legs are so sore, I'm gonna go lay on the floor..."*his voice fades* - "u ok there hobi?" - *weak* "no..") [btw chamomile tea helps with sore muscles ☺️]

- his spontaneous dances would be the best, he'd drop it to maluma and lowkey get emotional when you'd turn on some flamenco songs ("y/n, i should be a flamenco dancer, this music speaks to my soul" - "whatever you say, horacio" )

- he would sometimes give you very obvious signals:

"oh we're both wearing jean jackets, almost like a couple look hmmm~~~"

"you cooked for me ?? caring for me, like we're a couple hmmm~~~"

"look at us sharing our drinks like we're a couple hmmm~~~"

-and tbh, you guys would be the couple that has no idea that they're a couple bc you never truly established something along that lines

-but you truly liked him, after all, he's mr sunshine, with the most generous heart and boy's got the prettiest side profile you've ever seen (you knew you were whipped when you went for drinks with a friend and ended up being an emotional drunk who gushed about hobi's lil nose)

-hobi always gets shy when u praise him and you're like "BOI I CAN DO THIS ALL DAY LONG" and he'd go "noooo stop" and backflip to the other side of the room bc he got shy again but he secretly loves it (honestly, it would lift his entire mood, to a hyper extent.... one day you didn't have the time to stay for their dance practices and met hobi shortly before they started, to say bye and such, and you encouraged him to be strong, bc you knew how tough the new choreography was, and told him "you, horacio, dancing king of my heart, can do this, now go prove your title or I won't make you any pancakes for a week" and he SCREAMED in joy & spun you around like 3 times and sprinted to the practice room, you got one (1) single text from jin at 02.17 am, which you opened, confused at hell, it just said: "idk what you said to hobi before practice but you owe me a spa weekend for the muscle pain i have rn")

-but hobi is only human too, he also gets into low moods, which you help him through by simply not going anywhere even when he detaches himself from you and everyone else for that matter

-you knew he had to recharge and gave him some space without entirely distancing yourself from him ofc, you guys would still text tho from time to time

-you knew that he had practice again and one day you stopped by with some food you prepared for him and gave it to a staff member to pass it to hobi, bc you didn't want to intrude, and hobi would text you back a pic of the empty lunch boxes you packed for him with a caption like this: "👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻👼🏻💗💖💝💓💞💕🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️🙇🏻‍♂️" (hobi talk for "you are and angeeeel, i loooove you & thank youuu") and you were happy with yourself and happy for hobi bc you knew this would cheer him up

-he came over to yours like 2 days later and your heart ached a little bc he was obviously exhausted but still shot you a smile when you opened the door

- you pulled him inside and hugged him, neither of you spoke a word, hobi just sighed and buried his face in your neck

- he came inside and you made tea for the two of you and prepared some snacks too and you caught him looking at you a few times, but his gaze was different... you couldn't quite pinpoint what it was and just thought that's it's probably just random and that he's tired, since he also didn't speak a lot that evening.. anyway you chilled in front of the tv and had a night in, which he gladly accepted because his legs were so sore he wasn't even sure if he could leave your place in first place

-so you spread out on one sofa, while hobi layed down on to the other one

-whenever you weren't looking, hobi stared at you with the most smitten look on his face, especially when you'd giggle about some scene in the movie you were watching, and unable to contain his feelings for himself, he'd flat out tell you:

"you know, if there wouldn't be a risk of me face-planting onto the floor, I'd be on that couch and kiss you"

- he couldn't quite tell if his words made your face go red or if it was bc of your near-death experience after choking on your nachos when korea's dancing king told u he wants to smooch

(-"you ok now ?"

"yeah, alive and kicking"

"good bc- don't eat that now- I have plans for us 👀"

"maybe I do too 👀👀"

" 👀👀👀")

however, you decided you should talk this out when both of you were less tired

- but you didn't... bc hobi was busy again

- days had passed and hobi didn't say a word which was really disheartening for you bc after that kiss-statement you really thought you would finally clarify what was going on between you two and talk about dating and stuff, so you mustered all your courage and texted him: "hey, i know ur busy and all, which is why im gonna keep it as short as possible.... hoseok, i wanna talk about what you said to me the other day and i know this could potentially change our friendship forever, but i liked you for a while now and I wanna now if you were just joking around back then or if u actually were serious"

-the next hours would be absolutely agonizing for you bc deep down you truly feared that this may ruin your friendship with him, but you needed clarity, even though it was really clear that he liked you, but you weren't sure how and asked yourself if you may have read too much into his actions and words.... you threw your phone on your bed and tried keeping yourself busy with something that would keep you from looking at your phone. you failed miserably tbh and you were contemplating deleting the text the entire time... "this is so stupid, I can't risk this..." you thought and were about to open the messenger to delete your text, when you saw that he texted back....: "you never call me hoseok" (you had to took deep breaths to calm yourself down or you would probably have stormed into bighit and throw your phone at him)

- you: "this is really all you have to say ???? "

and he texted back shortly after and you were like oohhh, im gonna grill jung hoseok now

him: "well you never call me hoseok, so I guess this is very serious to you"

you: "yeah NO SHIT sherlock, i confessed my feelings for you and this is how you answer me ?????

him: "im serious too, don't be like that!"

you: "well how tf should i know if you're serious or not??"

him: "you could open your door and find out"

-to use the word "dumbfounded" for how you felt the second you read that would be the understatement of the century, you threw your phone away and bolted to the door

-and there he was.. standing there and smiling at you as radiantly as ever

- he held a plush in one hand and playfully waved at you with the other the other, in which he was holding his phone. he gave you the plush and laughed at you bc you still were completely baffled, but you started laughing too

- you: mang beats any flower anyways.. (you took the mang plush and put it on a rack by the door)

him: yup! and why buy flowers when you have me? *does the flower pose*

- you: you're unbelievable, jung hoseok

him: ohh full name now, it's getting very serious ~

you: stop teasing!!

-you felt that you were blushing and turned away from him, still unable to hide your smile. hobi laughed while he quickly stepped through the doorway, just in time to grab your wrist and make you face him again. "look at us, y/n, playfully bickering like a couple hmm~~", he said and gave you a smirk that made your knees weak, but you'd be damned if you'd show him that. So you looked him straight into his eyes with a cocky smile and asked: "anything you wanna ask me, jung hoseok?"

"you don't even know what you do to me with that smile of yours, sweetheart..."

"answer the question, jung hoseok."

"look at us us, flirting like a couple hmm~~"

(you didn't even notice how close you two were standing until there were only a few inches between your lips and his)

"I'm waiting", you whispered.

"i really think... ", he began and gently cupped your face meanwhile... "i really think that we should be a couple" he said and finally closed the little space which had remained between your lips.

[furidojasutin]

Okay. She-Ra. Let me just put down some chaotic, random thoughts. I’ll miss a lot of a stuff but-

CATRADORA!! At the beginning I didn’t think I’d end up loving it as much as I do now, I was kinda torn between some different She-Ra ships (Catra/Scorpia for example, but that got washed away in one of the seasons), but BOI. I was so happy. That whole last season had me !!!!!!!!!!! THEYRE LESBIANS HAROLD

Glimbow was a little more of a surprise, but it’s not out of nowhere and they are really precious. Their confession scene was precious, too. I would’ve loved them as best friends, but I can also stan them as couple. I mean... The ball thing in the first (?) season kinda started to give hints already

Mermista and Seahawk were pretty much teased from the beginning but I never really knew if I liked it or not.... Probably bc I rly love Mermista and want her to be rly gay bc I’m rly gay but I also never really stanned Mermista and Perfuma so HMMM. I... kinda learned to appreciate Merhawk, though. The last season just did so many things right. And them with a piratey aesthetic? Amazing.

on that topic though, my initial thought after Seahawk’s first appearance was ‘chaotic bisexual energy’. He’s bi as hell and at least that dude with longer hair and the eye patch in that one undercover episode was his ex boyfriend, no discussions. Mermista is also bi. Merhawk is a powerful, chaotic bi couple.

Bow? also a chaotic bi or pansexual

Bow is precious af and so are his dads btw. God!!! I was so happy when his dads got introduced like whaaaat!! And then we also saw a pic of Scopria’s moms in one ep and just?? YES.

glad that Netossa and Spinnerella got more screen time tbh. They are so wholesome and we finally got to see how powerful they can be, too! They had so many good moments in the last season, we stan

I’m not..... really a fan of Frosta (sorry!!) but Micah trying to bond with her bc he feared that Glimmer might not like him was really precious and funny. Micah is a really nice character anyway, I also dig his abilities and his character design

Scorfuma is a ship I never thought about a lot but.... it’s cute. They will be so wholesome together, so sweet, so much POSITIVITY!!!!

Scorpia’s dkjsfj singing scene???? GLAMOROUS. We stan a scorpion queen. She’s so gorgeous and so sweet.

actually the whole undercover episode was a blessing. Mermista in a suit and a hat?? I died a little. Scorpia and Perfuma looked really pretty, too.

WRONG HORDAK. he was probably one of my fav things of the new season. he’s so fucking precious omg and some scenes were so funny. such a good addition, and he deserves happiness.

Melog..... is so cute, too. Therapy cat!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!

look, Shadow Weaver, though. She really deserves appreciation as a character. I’m not saying that she’s good; no - she’s egoistic and manipulative. But she’s a damn good and interesting character and she went out with a bang. I felt really torn about this scene and I was a little shocked also, but really, it was perfect, actually. I won’t ramble about her character here now, but yanno

Adora’s new She-Ra transformation. It was even better than the other one and the outfit and hair style are so much better, too!!! Basically, I was Catra when Adora did her transformation she watched her do it. Yep.

I really love Mara (and GOSH she’s SO pretty!!!!) and I would’ve loved to see more of her again, but yea djakfwf

the Adora’s dream of the future scene must be one of my faves.... The lightning, the designs, the playful nature.... IM CRY. Glimmer’s new hair style????? Bow’s hair style???? Adora and Catra’s matching outfits and Catra’s ponytail? UGGHH.

I didn’t care so much about Horde Prime as a character, but actually, basically.... he’s the type of villain I rly like? Cold, well-spoken, calculating, a lil charming, ruthless? Ah, yea. Good concept.

STARLA. I almost forgot about Starla omgggg. The three siblings in general?? Their designs were cool, their fighting styles, too. I would’ve loved to see more of them!!

this show in general somehow managed to make me cry easily and often and about the smallest things - I don’t know how it did that, but it was/is a thing. god.

EMOTIONS

the finale was just so good, so perfect, so many feelings..... There’s so much chaos in my thoughts and heart about it, but in a very positive way

there are just so many details that I could ramble about, but this post would get so damn long. so many good scenes.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Summary: Sanders Sides Human College AU ~

Patton was sitting on his bed reading his history textbook when he heard a loud thud outside the door.

He opened the door to see Virgil bags on all of his body. It appeared that he had been knocking on the door with a boot clad foot.

Patton held the door open for his friend.

“Whoa, how'd you get all these bags onto the bus?!”

Patton took the bag of bagels from Virgil's mouth so he would have the ability to respond.

“I didn't take the bus” Virgil shuffled in and carefully placed all the bags onto the floor.

“Then... how?”

“Roman took me to the store.” the right side of his mouth lifting in a grimace. Virgil knew his best friend well enough that he to know that he would make a big deal about it.

“AWWWW! That's so cute!” Patton grinned widely as he helped Virgil put away their food. “And domestic! That's so great!!!”

“no it's not really not” he said with the sour look still on his face

“What's wrong Shadowling?” he asked his smile dropped from his face.

“I don't know if I'm going to be able to be able to survive being partners with him.”

“Did he say something? Did he do something?! I will physically fight him!” Patton offered as grabbed single bagel from the bag. He then placed the bag of bagels in a basket on top of the fridge

“Patton No! He didn't do anything like that!” Virgil said frantically as he motioned with his hands to stop. The last thing that he needed was Roman to lose teeth or have his pretty nose broken. “Please don't fight him!”

Patton place the lone bagel on his bed next to his book before returning to help Virgil with the remaining bags.

“Well that's good.” he said as he took the tub of margarine and put it into the fridge.

“He didn't even bring up what happened last night.” he said with a small touch of sadness in his voice.

“But you wanted him to?”

“No?” he said more of a question then a statement

“You shouldn't lie”

“Maybe,” he bit at his thumbnail as he spoke. “Like I want to know what he wants?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, he did me a favor, well favors at this point. The... ... thing at the party, the cleaning of my old hoodie, and then the grocery store trip. He's racking up a ton of things in his I.O.U. List.”

“Well he might be doing things for you because of his feelings for you.”

Virgil went to argue and was interrupted before he could start.

“You said yourself, he asked you to go to the party as date. You say no, but you end up together anyway!”

Virgil rolled his eyes with a small grin. He could practically see the anime stars in Patton's eyes.

“Like the universe was pulling you two together! He probably likes you even more.”

As Virgil finished his placement of grocery items in the small kitchen nook he turned to look at his bubbly roommate.

“No that can't be it. It has to be some sort of game.” Virgil replied to his friend's joyful rant.

“I think he just likes you.”

“Ha! I TRIED to flirt with him and... well he didn't take me up on it. He must of found someone else that he was interested in. You saw him at that party, with all those guys. ....” Virgil muttered his words lowering in volume and tone as he continued.

”Oh speaking of flirts, guess who I saw at the library today?” Virgil said in a louder happy to move onto a more positive topic.

“Don't try to change the subject!” he said as he climb upon his bed.

After a moment Patton's curiosity won out.

“Who did you see?”

“Remy”

“OH! ” Patton said with an excited clap of hands. “I LOVE that little Lambkins! How is he doing?”

“He continues to be the sassiest of asses, but he seems to be doing good. He was happy to hear that I'm not longer attached to YOU KNOW WHO....

“Yeah well.”

Virgil placed his bag on his bed and then he climbed on top of it.

“He kept sending pics of Roman that he found on Instagram. Like 'I don't need you to show me what he looks like! I'm right next to him in the meat section!'”

“Is that a euphemism?” Patton asked with a puppy-like head tilt.

“NO!” Virgil exclaimed in horror as he settled himself into a sitting position.

“Sorry, you know I don't know slang lingo stuff.”

He went to grab his headphones from his bag and paused as a he recalled a memory.

“Hey Pat.”

“Hmmm?”

“Your crush from History Class that you always say is so smart and handsome. The one that you told me and I quote has the most amazing eyes that have ever existed,” he rolled his eyes as he finger quoted.

Virgil may have been outwardly mocking Patton's description of this guy's eyes. But he could almost be accused of the same sort of sappiness.

He remembered one moment at the library when he caught himself looking at Roman when he was distractedly staring off into space.

Virgil was going to ask him to come back to earth but he was caught off guard by the way that the light had made his eyes look. Roman's eyes looked like a tiger's eye gemstone. A shifting series of browns.

' I never thought I'd be this big of a lameass. If anyone heard what I thought they would laugh at me.'

He shook his head at the memory and continued his conversation with his roommate

“This guy his name is Logan right?”

Patton's naturally rosy freckled face flushed with even more color and he just nodded in response.

“Does his last name happen to be Sanderson?” Virgil asked as he pleaded internally that his assumption was wrong.

“Yeah! It is! Patton answered. “Just the sisters from Hocus Pocus.”

Patton continued his words uninterrupted as Virgil fell backwards onto his bed.

“When I mentioned that to him he said the cutest thing! ” Patton said excitedly before he quoted Logan taking his glasses and adjusting them like an anime character as he did so. “'Ah yes, the Halloween cult classic yes, my younger brother is a fan of that, uh film.'"

“Cute, sure.” he muttered in mildly sarcastic tone. To Virgil's ear he would call the voice that Patton used to imitate him robot in tone. “I didn't...”

“What?”

“Take that for your type. He sounds a bit of a more serious no nonsense type. Like he wouldn't be that fun?”

Virgil threw an arm across his face to obscure his eyes.

“Yeah, he may be a bit serious. But just get him to talk about his interests and his whole being lights up like a christmas lights!” Patton said with an earnest feeling behind it. “And he was just so cool in class the other day! You should have seen him passionately defend Pluto's status as a planet! ”

“So do you think I'll be meeting Mr. Christmas Lights?” Virgil chuckled as he thought to himself.

'Out of everyone that could have been Patton's crush it's stupidly ironic that he happens to be the brother of my cru- NOPE! No don't you dare think that word anywhere near him. NO ROMANTIC ROMAN ALLOWED THOUGHTS!'

“Oh you just missed meeting him at the party! He helped me look for you.”

A cold feeling of realization hit Virgil hard as he sat up quickly to look over at Patton.

“What?!” he nearly shouted as the panic flooded his body.

Patton didn't reply as his eyes widened in surprise. From his face Virgil guessed that he had not realized that the information that he had shared would cause this particular type of reaction.

Patton was usually more emotionally astute but his heart was so full of infatuation for Logan that he was distracted enough to make a mistake.

Otherwise he probably would have prefaced his words with a little more warning.

“Are you telling me that guy in the tie, that you showed up with saw me make out with his BROTHER?!”

“Yeah...” Patton said with a sheepish tiny smile. “I guess in all the excitement I forgot to mention that to you”

Virgil groaned.

“I wish I had never heard of the fake-out make out.”

He grabbed his headphones from his bag, slide them onto his ears, and pulled up a play list. Virgil looked over the list and he spotted MCR and was reminded of the moment in the car.

He smiled in spite of himself.

'I can totally see why he is so comfortable on stage. He was.... radiant?...mesmerizing?... magnetic?

...Gods I don't even have the right words in my thoughts! It's like my world was just me and Roman and the song. I haven't met anyone that captivating since... ... ... Jae'

He needed to distract himself quickly and searched it for his sketchpad.

“Hey Pat didn't you pack my sketchpad in my bag this morning?”

“I sure did, why?”

'Crap'

“So do you happen to have Logan's number?”

~

 Roman sat in one of the audience chairs while starting at monologue. His mind was not on the script at all though as he turned each page.

His thought were focused on the memory of Virgil's singing. His low rich baritone echoed faintly in his head. Roman would pay good money to have a recording of him.

He replayed his interactions with him afterwards when Virgil teased him about wanting to go back to his room.

'Oh NO! THAT WAS HIM FLIRTING!!! I should have flirted back! I love flirting! But the first day he got so angry when I flirted with him and now he's angry that I didn't!? What the Hell! Maybe since we kissed he wants more?! I gotta try really hard now!'

Roman decided focus all his of his attention on wooing Virgil.

He flipped over the paper and listed all of the things that he knew Virgil liked.

Honey Cluster Granola

Disney

Grape Gatorade

Puns

Count Chocola Cereal

The Black Cauldron

Nightmare Before Christmas

Evanescence

My Chemical Romance

While adding more to the list he was approached by the costume designer.

“Hey want to see a couple of my new sketches?” the small blue and pink haired enby asked as they offered Roman the notebook.

“Always, Talyn always.”

It was several pages of people in a different costumes. Talyn's style naturally leaned tended towards Punk, Goth, and other Alternative type styles.

Roman looked through the black and maroon velvet cloaks, Victorian satiny waistcoats, leather pants, and other accessories.

'Am I just that Twitterpated with Virgil to see him everywhere?! I mean let's not kid around he would look sexy in this clothing. '

“Great work TallyKat.” Roman croaked out.

Talyn squinted suspiciously until they saw Joan approach.

“What we looking at?” Joan asked as they sat next to Roman and leaned over to look at the drawings. Roman handed off the sketchbook to them.

“So how did that party go last night?” Joan asked as they thumbed through the pages.

“Remember Virgil?” Roman directed the question toward Joan nodded before they turned to Talyn to clarify.

“He's Prince's partner in Med. Lit.”

“Virgil...Virgil Alexander? ” Talyn asked as they retrieved their sketch pad, their face brightening up with recognition,“You know Anx?”

“Another person called him that in the library today, he wouldn't tell me what it was from.” Roman

“OH it's an old joke from high school.” Talyn continued. “Well sometimes one of us wanted to do stupid things. Like drive donuts in an empty parking lot or eat a mouthful of warhead candies,Virgil would be the one to tell us why it was dangerous. We said he was all of our collective anxiety in human form.”

Roman filled that information away for later.

“So as you were saying...” Joan asked gesturing to Roman.

“We kissed last night...” he whispered excitedly.

“Well that escalated quickly” Joan deadpanned.

“I mean... it was MEANT to throw off his ex...Kinda like in that movie 'To All the Boys I Loved Before'.”

He waited for them to nod before continuing his frantic rant. When they did not he just went ahead and proceeded.

“SPOILER ALERT! For the movie if you've never seen it. I mean you totally should it is such a good flick. I mean everyone who has ever seen a Romcom knows how it would end up anyways. Well in that movie it wasn't her Ex. It was someone that she was trying to trick. Ah! That gives me an idea! Maybe if I offer to make a contract to make his Ex Jealous! Then he could fall in love with me like Lara Jean fell for Peter!

“Don't do that.” Joan commanded in a flat tone with a shake of their head.

“Are you sure? Fake Date is such a classic!” Roman visibly pouted at the rejection of his idea.

“No” both of them said at the same time.

Roman took the list in hand and moved it about while he spoke.

“Ok well I .. I've made this list of things that I know he likes and I can just put them all into a basket! And bring it to him...”

Joan yanked the piece of paper from Roman's waving hands

“How are you going to put 'Probably the entirety of Hot Topic' into a basket exactly?” Joan sardonically asked.

“I don't know, I'll figure something out...like maybe a gift card...a dozen gift cards...what is the highest amount of money you can put on those anyway...?” he took the paper back from Joan and began to write 'Check out gift cards'

“As much as I'm sure he would love to buy out the entire stock of Hot Topic. Princey I've known Anx for years, these big old honking PDAS are going to freak him the fuck out!” Talyn said with an exhausted type of aggravation.

“You guys don't get romance!”

His two non-binary pals shared a look.

Roman ignored them and attempted to continue his frantic writing, but he was stopped in his tracks at the sound of his phone.

-It seems that Virgil had a sketchbook fall out of his bag in your car-Logan

“See this is a sign! Virgil's sketchbook was left behind in my car! This is the second time that he has left something behind for me to gallantly return to him like Prince Charming!” he motioned at his phone with his hand.

Joan took a hold of Roman by the shoulders and looked him in his eyes.

“This is NOT a SIGN. Just give the boy back his stuff without any of your Romany weirdness.”

“But...but if I don't shower him with gifts to let him know that I like him..how...how” Roman excitement deflated like a balloon. He finished the thought in his head

'How am I going to get him to to like me back'

Another chime from his phone pulled at his attention.

-He says he needs it for one of his classes. He wants to know if it is acceptable for him to send his roommate to your location or to meet somewhere in the middle?-Logan

“Well it looks like Logan says he is going to send his roommate out to grab it for him” Roman said as he visibly wilts as he replies that they can meet in the quad.

“I'm sure he knows that you like him. You've always been...wait a sec, you said LOGAN texted you?”

“Yeah why?”

“Shit, are you telling us that you never gave this guy...the guy you're so clearly into...your PHONE NUMBER?!?” Joan asked disbelief increasing with every word.

After a noticeable moment of silence, Roman found his voice.

“oh, i guess I didn't.”

“You are a hopeless idiot here, dude” Talyn added with a head shake.

~

 Roman got done with his drama club and hurried to his car. To his horror he saw the sketchbook had fallen open and varies pages were strewn about.

“NO, No, no, no!”

He was torn between the impulse to grab them quickly without looking to be quick and also to preserve privacy.

But the other part of him that knew that these pages deserved respect and care won the internal argument.

Plus admittedly he really wanted to snoop through the artwork.

So he looked over the art as took page by page and gathered them tenderly.

A few charcoal sketches of local abandoned buildings with gorgeous use of shadows.

Roman's jealousy perked at an unnerving page filled with disembodied hands reaching for the viewer.

He rolled his eyes as he found a page with a picture of Mothman, Slenderman, and an assortment of other cryptids.

'Of course he's into this weird stuff...

His eyes lit up as he saw accurate recreations of the Avatar: The Last Airbender and Steven Universe Cartoon characters, with a sticky note near them saying 'For Emile'.

“Who's Emile?” Roman muttered with a pout.

After he placed the last of the loose pages to a sort of order in the book he closed it. He looked over the cover that had a few more drawings on it as well as stickers for bands.

Roman hugged to his chest and then he ran as quick as his legs could carry him to the quid. He arrived only a slight bit out of breath.

'Man i need to get back to my morning running sessions. If I don't get my endurance up my dancing will suffer.'

He looked around at the area to search out for his target.

A boy sat at a bench, he wore a patterned pastel blue overalls over a pastel purple shirt. As Roman neared him he saw the the shapes were ice cream, hearts, and rainbows.

“Hey?” he approached the boy he hoped was the roommate. “Pat... ton?”

His face was semi-familiar. His big blue eyes were a softer grayish hue than Virgil's deep piercing blue. His smiling face was covered in freckles. Roman wondered how he would describe the color of his puffy hair, it was either a pale brown or a dark blond.

"Yep! So you are my Virgil's new 'friend' huh?!" his cheerful voice asked with the word friend is a tease like giggly way.

“Uh, I hope so?” Roman replied nervously.

“Patton Hartley!” he offered his hand.

“Roman Sanderson, pleased to meet you.” he said as he shuffled the notebook to one arm to shake his hand.

“I really like the pastel getup.” he said with the most genuine tone. He wanted to make sure that he made a good impression on a person who was so important to Virgil.

Even the world's most Emotastic basket wouldn't mean a thing if this boy went to his roommate and said Roman was no good. Patton was the biggest deciding factor, besides Virgil himself, in his ultimate fate.

'Please like me please.'

“Thanks so much! I love your hair! I don't think I could pull it off. I tried a teal a few years ago” Patton said as he looked up to his hair. His gentle smile told Roman that he was not insecure, he just was speaking with he thought was the truth.

“Thank as well. I personally think everyone can 'pull off' fashion colors. It's just finding the color that suits you and wearing it with confidence. And not using a box dye. I think pastel pink would look fantastic on you.” Roman offered as advice before he remembered the object in his hands.

He held the sketchbook out with both hands. “OH here you go, this is what you came all the way out here for!”

“Looks like everything is order.” Patton said as he quickly thumbed through the pages before he put it into a florescent green plastic backpack.

It looked like a giant frog.

'How did I not notice that!'

“So was Virgil busy?” Roman asked casual,before he quickly amended “Not that I'm not happy to meet you of course!”

“AH, I packed his bag this morning so I feel like I'm a bit responsible for this happening.”

“How could you know this would happen?” Roman shrugged.

“Well I didn't. But in a roundabout way it could have been prevented if I hadn't have packed it today. Besides I really really wanted to meet you.

“You did?”

“Wanna take a seat?” Patton offered politely as he placed the froggie at his feet to clear the seat next to him.

“Yeah thanks.” Roman said as he sat down.

“Hey can I ask you a question? I hope you don't feel like this is an insult towards Virgil. But what is his deal?” he asked in part aggravation and part confusion.

“Ah, you talking about how he's not the friendliest kitten in the clowder? ” Patton offered as a comparison. “At least when you began court him?

'He said court! I really like this guy.'

“Yeah, That! We were getting along fine, maybe a BIT of playful banter, but at worse it that was just light teasing. But it changed like a switch was flipped or something when I asked if he wanted to go to that party with me.” Roman asked face pinched as he remembered Virgil's change in demeanour. “All of a sudden it was as if I had asked if he wanted to be set on fire!”

“Well, he really thinks you're flirting with him as some sort of game” Patton said with a shrug of his shoulders.

“Why would he think that! ”

“I'm not really sure what would make him think of that in class, I wasn't there. But you seemed to be flirting with quite a few guys at the party.” Patton stated with a sigh “Aaaannnd he did see that...”

A blush grew over Roman's tan skin as he remembered his brief playful trifling.

'Virgil was watching that? Yikes, no wonder he thinks so lowly of me. I would never have done all of that if he had accepted my date offer. I am a One Man Man.'

“And... the other thing is, it may have reminded him of his Ex...um you see Jae, he was always flirting with everyone around him. Mostly to charm people to get them on his side, but it hurt Virgil you see. He would ask him to stop, but Jae either ignore him to tell him he was being too emotionally fragile.”

Patton took breath and then continued.

“But then when it seemed like Virgil was close to ending it he would stop his flirtations with others and focus all of his attention on Virgil. They almost broke up dozens of times over the course of their time together. The whole back and forth really made it hard on Virgil.”

“SO this Ex of his toyed with his affections! How dare he tell Virgil he cared too much! I can't believe it!”

“That is some manipulative bull! I swear people who string others along instead of just letting them go are the worst. I've had a few exs like that.”

Patton nodded..

“That Ex! Sounds like a real piece of work, ” Roman chuckled a tiny bit as he failed to notice the uncomfortable look beginning to show on Patton's face, “If Virgil's was so frightened that the sight of him made him flee. Like he MUST be some stupid dirty, rotten, filthy silly billy, no good for nothing...”

“Uh,” Patton attempted to break into the rant.

“Rat scoundrel b-”

“He's my brother!” Patton hastily shouted.

'Oh Shit'

Roman cringed as Patton admitted the full truth of the situation.

“Wait what? I'm so sorry!”

“It's ok. You didn't mean to be mean.” Patton said

“Wait so how does that work? You're friends with your brothers ex? ”

“Nothing will stop me from being friends with Virgil. Nothing.” Patton stated as serious as Roman had seen him so far.

“Wow, um must make Thanksgiving Dinner's more awkward than normal, huh?” Roman chuckled nervously.

“Jae doesn't believe in Thanksgiving. He says that 'Thanksgiving is colonizer propaganda that is just a waste of food.' He doesn't really do holidays... besides birthdays. Well actually he does HIS birthday, and sometimes mine. If only a little bit. His plans for Virgil's birthday always ended up getting cancelled.”

“'So sorry my Nightbird, I swear I thought the museum would be open today'” he did a mock of what Roman presumed was his brother. While doing so his voice gained a sort of smoother quality of speaking. A bit more emphasis of the S sounds.

'Sounds like a snake'

“Sounds like a...like he's very unique person” Roman offered as a neutral statement. “And a very complicated relationship.”

“It sure is....SO are you really truly interested in my pal?” Patton asked.

“Yes. I absolutely am.” Roman said with an excitement that he apparently had made a good impression.

“Just call me Cupid!” Patton said as he did a big hand gesture pointing toward his chest with his thumb “I'll put in a good word for you.”

“I can tell you're really a sweet guy, but still why do this for someone you just met?” Roman questioned face full of confusion.

“I think you'd be a good HONEST boyfriend for my gloomy goober.” Patton smiled at him, “I'm a great judge of character, I've had to learn believe you me. Plus don't let him know it was me that told you this, but the way he looks when he talks about you... well it's just like nothing I've ever seen. I really think he's got a thing for you!”

“Really?” Roman felt uncharacteristically at a loss for words.

“Yeppers, I know my best friend” Patton giggled like they had made a secret pact.

“Thanks”

“Although if my instincts are wrong, I will physically fight you.” Patton suddenly said in a serious tone.

“Really?”

“Yep! If I could fight my own brother, I can fight you” Patton said switching back to cheerful. “Understand?”

The way that he said it so matter of fact and cheerfully made Roman uneasy, almost like those haunted dolls in scary movies. The opposition between his soft disposition and the protective strength in his voice was just scary enough that Roman just nodded

“GOOD!” he clapped his hands and then leap up off of the seat. “I know your Instagram and I'll DM you there to trade info.”

“How do you...?” Roman got momentarily frightened at the thought that Patton had cyber stalked him for his social media info.

“You shouted it out at the party?” Patton smiled as he slung the straps of over his shoulders.

“Oh right...ha” Roman gave a nervous chuckle.

“Well, I've got to go now! Tell your brother that Patton says hi, k? ” he said with a wink he walked away until the bouncing frog disappeared from Roman's line of sight.

 ~

 Upon Roman's arrived at home he restlessly waited for his brother's arrival.

When he heard a turn of keys at the front door he was there as fast as a bolt of lightning.

“You know Virgil's roommate!” Roman shouted as he ambushed Logan as he walked through the door.

“Oh Shit!” Logan cursed as he fell over.

~ TAGLIST!!! @tatehoseok @love-is-the-fear-of-loss @misslilidelaney @ishoulddyemyhairthatcolour @dwbh888 @violetshovel @sadgayisme

[ninjagoscpau]

sorry this took a while. i wanted it to not be hell to read

Sorta. The ninja have their elemental powers still, but Cole is a ghost with the ability to transform into a human at any given time, and there are 2 different Lloyd's. "Kid" Lloyd and "Adult" Lloyd.The Ninja have been in the faculty for so long they can hardly remember the outside world.

vlanderzine Damn

lindsey-chr-not-found They're all labeled as Keter because, while they all are safe to be around, if one of them is hurt or if something happens to one of the faculty members, they will IMMEDIATELY go into "ninja" mode and try to fight whoever hurt their friend.

vlanderzine Double damn

lindsey-chr-not-found They all trust the faculty members and will do whatever they can to protect them, even if it means dying by another SCP.

vlanderzine OoohI have an idea!l

indsey-chr-not-found Yes?

vlanderzine Wu is basically their handler. Outside of each other, he’s the person they trust most and will (usually) follow his orders without question (witch may or may not be due to condition that was wiped from their memory)

lindsey-chr-not-found OH YESSSSI was kinda thinking that to!

vlanderzine :)

lindsey-chr-not-found okay here's my idea for Llpyd. 

Lloyd is split into two, kid! Lloyd and Adult!Lloyd

.lindsey-chr-not-found Kid! Lloyd is about 10~ and absolutely loves candy and comic books. He's mischievous and LOVES to prank people. While he doesn't have any elemental powers, he does have a special power of getting what he wants through fake crying until he gets it. The fake crying causes the person to feel concerned and want to do what they can to help him calm down. He uses this trick to get what he wants.He's also a brat, and runs VERY fast. It's almost impossible to catch him.He's also kinda an ass

vlanderzine YES, And adult Lloyd?

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd is much more mature than Kid! Lloyd. He has his elemental powers of creation. He loves helping people and is very polite and sweet. If someone is in trouble, he will do what he can to "save" them. Despite being older, he still absolutely loves comic books and candy

.vlanderzine “Save” worries me

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd can be quite destructive, too. If he gets angry, he starts to destroy everything in sight without realizing it, and then he'll cry and apologize profusely because he feels terrible about it.

vlanderzine Mmmmm yes

lindsey-chr-not-found He can resist Kid! Lloyd's fake crying ability, but he will help him with pranks and then scold him about it in an attempt to cover up the fact that he helps

vlanderzine 10/10, defiantly a pair of good boys

lindsey-chr-not-foundI have more ideas for the r st of the ninja if you're down 

vlanderzine Tell me

hlindsey-chr-not-found So SCP Jay

vlanderzine:)

lindsey-chr-not-found Jay is very talkative and often rambles about the weirdest stuff. He likes to joke and make everyone laugh. His favorite jokes are puns. Despite this, he is very self conscious about his rambling problem and will TRY to shut up once he catches himself, but it fails more often times than not. He very much likes it when people laugh at his jokes. He absolutely loves video games and building things, and is very good at it too.

vlanderzine Oooh, And his anomalous properties?

lindsey-chr-not-found. He's often found working on something that a worker asked him to help build.

vlanderzine Ah, that’s nice

lindsey-chr-not-found Alongside his lighting power, he's kinda like a master builder from TLM. He's able to build things very fast

.vlanderzine Nice 

lindsey-chr-not-found He's also a very fast runner. SCP Zane time.

vlanderzine I’d like to think his abilities also passively mess with electronics, and simple communications devices like walkie-talkies won’t work in his presence. He’d also really mess with radios and cellular devices as well. The affects get worse when he’s upset, and he could take down the electronics of entire cities in extreme cases

vlanderzine He also makes compasses spin haywire when they get near him

lindsey-chr-not-found Zane is a nindroid. He's very calm and collected, and quite introverted. Despite trusting the faculty members, the only people he'll allow to actually make repairs on him are Jay and Nya. If something is wrong, he'll go to them. He loves cooking and often makes food for the workers and the rest of the ninja.OH YESSS that and his ice powers. Wait what if Cyrus was also a faculty worker and Zane also trusts him to do repairs on him.

vlanderzine The tempeture around him is also really low. He tends to leave frost where he walks. The metal he’s made out of had really weird properties that make him immune to Jay’s affect on technology. Nobody can really identify what he’s made of or how he works, and there are certain parts of him that just can’t be explained Oooh yes 

lindsey-chr-not-found OHHH YESSSSS ! now SCP Kai

slindsey-chr-not-found Kai is the most protective of the ninja. If he thinks someone is in danger, he'll do what he can to protect them. He'll also do what he can to comfort someone if they're sad. He's especially good at making weapons such as blades and armor. Though, he's a dumbass. He doesn't think about his actions first and will dive right into something. He's also arrogant and thinks very highly of himself.I'm not sure what his special abilities aside from controlling fire are tbh

vlanderzine I’ve got a few ideas :)

lindsey-chr-not-found OH?

lindsey-chr-not-foundalso kid Lloyd is absolutely afraid of the dark-

vlanderzine Like you said, he’s got the hole controlling fire thing going for him. He’s also made of fire. His blood is flames, and if you blew of his arm somehow, it would be replaced by one made of fire. He can regenerate his human limbs over time but it takes a while. His flames can’t be put out by anything, they can even burn in a vacuum. They also burn anything, including things that shouldn’t burn at all such as water and metal. His flames will even burn SCPs that were previously thought indestructible

.lindsey-chr-not-found OH HO HOOO YESSSS YESSSS

vlanderzine He’d be able to kill things like the shy guy and SCP 682 with ease 

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSSS, SCP Cole

vlanderzineOwO

lindsey-chr-not-found Cole is the toughest of the group. He's quite introverted and it's pretty hard to tell what he's feeling since he's almost emotionless. Despite this, he ABSOLUTELY LOVES cake and making art, and he's very good at it, though he won't let anyone see his art. Alongside being super freaking strong, he can turn into a ghost at will. He hates dancing and singing with a passion, but will do it if necessary.Often times he's caught stealing cake and when he gets caught he turns into a ghost and runs

vlanderzine The staff can’t really do a lot to stop him except call Wu

lindsey-chr-not-found also he loves cooking but is terrible at it 

Staff: put that down or I'll call wu

 Cole: *VERY QUICKLY shoves the cake into his mouth and nearly chokes*

vlanderzine He has several doctor bright style rules concerning the kitchen

lindsey-chr-not-found and what are those?

vlanderzine OwO 

lindsey-chr-not-found What are the rules? 

vlanderzine Things along the lines of SCP-(we need to come up with numbers) is not allowed to enter the kitchen. SCP-(inset Coles number) is not allowed to ask other to enter the kitchen on his behalf. SCP-(is his number again) is not allowed to remove cooking equipment from the kitchen

lindsey-chr-not-foundYesssss

vlanderzine They have to add a new rule at least once a month 

lindsey-chr-not-found YeSSSSS 

vlanderzineFor powers, Cole probably has the hole earth manipulation, but it also extends to metal

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found now for nya

lindsey-chr-not-found Tbh I haven't thought much of nya

vlanderzine Me either...Hmmm

lindsey-chr-not-found hmmmmm

vlanderzine Oh also, Cole bleeds lava, his skin is also immune to bullets and blades of any kind, but pic-axes can chip away at his skin like it would a rock 

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSS

lindsey-chr-not-found Nya is very intelligent and she isn't afraid to tell you as it is. If something is wrong, she'll tell you. Like Jay, she loves building and often helps Jay and the faculty with building things

.vlanderzine Mmmm yes 

lindsey-chr-not-found Despite being an absolute badass, she will cling onto Kai when she's scared.

vlanderzine Y E S

lindsey-chr-not-found What should her special power be besides water?

vlanderzine She has control of all liquids. weather it be water or liquid metal, if it’s in a liquid state she can control it.

lindsey-chr-not-found OHH YESSSS

vlanderzine She’s also made of water like kai is made of fire. The water that she’s made of can’t evaporate or freeze at all 

.lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss

vlanderzine She also makes her surroundings more Humid, and it rains whenever she’s upset 

lindsey-chr-not-found Aside from kid! Lloyd, they're all excellent fighters and will use their special abilities to their advantage. Zane is also sort of a medic and will do what he can to help heal people.

Yesssss, When Kai's upset it gets really freaking hot

vlanderzine:)

vlanderzine Also

lindsey-chr-not-found Yes?

vlanderzine Kid Lloyd’s ability works on literally anything. Both people, animals, other SCPs, robots, and even inanimate objects. 

lindsey-chr-not-found Except Adult Lloyd

vlanderzine Yes. Kid Lloyd is extremely useful for capturing or recapturing SCPs because of his abillity

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssss. They all live in the same enclosure, but have seperate rooms, customized to their liking

.vlanderzine Yep. They are (usually) aloud to wander through the facility 

vlanderzine The site is nicknamed the monastery

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss. Wu lives their too with them

.vlanderzine Ye. >:DI have an idea

lindsey-chr-not-found Gimme

vlanderzine #1 Garm is a keter class SCP that can and will kill and destroy anyone that isnt one of the ninja or wu 

lindsey-chr-not-found OH HO HO YESSS

vlanderzine #2 Chen is an extremely rich business man who uses SCPs to keep his totally and completely legal business practices across the planet afloat

lindsey-chr-not-found garm lives in a separate enclosure from the ninja. He's very destructive and has trouble controlling his anger. He will attack almost anyone who tries to come near him. The only one who is allowed near him is Lloyd. When he's around either Lloyd, he's very docile and much more cooperative. YESSS TO CHEN

vlanderzine Oh yes. The Serpentine and great devourer are both neutralized SCPs 

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine They were contained by utilizing the “ninja”

lindsey-chr-not-found Pythor is known to somehow escape his enclosure often and try to break out, which they have to get kid Lloyd to help get him in

.vlanderzine Y e s .Several of the higher ups really want to just terminate pythor, but kid Lloyd won’t let them

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss!

lindsey-chr-not-found Adult Lloyd doesn't trust Pyhtor in the slightest. He hates when his kid self BEGS for him to be spared

vlanderzine He’s tried to convince kid Lloyd to let them kill him but he absolutely refuses. Pythor will never admit it but he cares about kid Lloyd a lot

lindsey-chr-not-foundn Yessss. That doesn't mean he won't try to save him if he ever escapes

vlanderzine Yep

lindsey-chr-not-found I got an idea for scp Lyra if you're down-vlanderzine Shoot 

lindsey-chr-not-found okay so

lindsey-chr-not-found Lyra is untrusting of the faculty. She almost refuses to eat the food they give her in case it's drugged or something. One of the ninja, usually Kai, has to take her whatever the faculty gives her because she's scared it'll hurt her in some way.

lindsey-chr-not-found Even though she won't trust the workers, that doesn't mean she won't protect or help them when needed.

vlanderzine Nice

lindsey-chr-not-found She likes to sing, and can often be heard singing some of her favorite songs. She's really good at it too. She's allowed to have some type of music player and play music out loud. She has the same elemental powers of causes illusion through music, but she also has siren-like abilities which basically make the listener do what she wants

vlanderzine Oooh

lindsey-chr-not-found She likes keeping a daily log just for the sake of it. It's comforting

.vlanderzine Awe

lindsey-chr-not-found She is actually very scared of the faculty

.vlanderzine Oof

lindsey-chr-not-found She LOVES anything horror and has a collection of horror movies to watch. She will often watch the same one 5 times over just for the hell of it

.vlanderzine I think kid Lloyd was probably scared at first too

lindsey-chr-not-found They all were, since they were suddenly kidnapped. But as time went on an they got used to living there, they aren't so scared anymore. Though there I'd a lingering feeling

vlanderzine Yea

vlanderzineThey do on the rare occasion go out when an SCP escapes or a new one is discovered

lindsey-chr-not-found kid Lloyd actually uses his ability to get the faculty to take them back to the city for a bit, where they try to escape

vlanderzineI think they would eventually escape regardless 

lindsey-chr-not-found they would,but be caught again 

vlanderzine Maybe. Regardless, the foundation only has a few ways to really contain them. Some of the staff want to let them go since despite being Keters, they are all obviously not inherently dangerous and would be fine in the real world. They were fine in the real world beforehand

lindsey-chr-not-found yessss

vlanderzine Lloyd uses his powers to get the staff to let the ninja go to the nearby city once a month

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssssss

vlanderzine It’s really refreshing for them

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found do you know my into the ninja verse au?

vlanderzine Ye

lindsey-chr-not-found k so what if they were pulled out of their au by accident and help the fusion ninja (aka CAK! Kai, LHH! Lloyd, Movie! Nya, DoTD-F! Cole, Ghost! Zane, and Skybound Magica! Jay) save the multi verse.Ian is the fucker trying to destroy the multi verse right

lindsey-chr-not-found 

Kid Lloyd: *starts crying, begging for him to not destroy the multi verse*

 Ian, desperately trying to resist it: no no I'm NOT falling for that

 Kid Lloyd: pleweeasseeee *literally sobbing* 

 Ian:... okay fine.

 CAK! Kai in the background like: how the HELL did he do that

vlanderzine XD

lindsey-chr-not-found CAK! Kai doesn't understand how they're doing this shit without magic.Movie! Nya is really fascinated by it and like... doesn't stop asking questions

vlanderzine Y E S. The SCP!ninja are just glad to be out of the facility

lindsey-chr-not-found they eventually get into the og au (aka canon Ninjago) and all I can imagine is SCP! Cole stealing cake from OG! Cole and when he's caught he just fucking jumps off the bounty and floats in the sky eating his cake with OG! Coke glaring at him

lindsey-chr-not-found 

SCP! Zane, trying to stop him from entering the kitchen: cole no you know the rules

 OG! Cole: ???? 

 SCP! Cole: HEY LLOYD COME HERE-

vlanderzine Oh my god yes

lindsey-chr-not-found SCP! Adult Lloyd tries stopping him but it doesn't work and all the OG and Fusion ninja can do is watch in confusion

vlanderzine Y E S 

lindsey-chr-not-found 

LHH! Lloyd, watching this happen: damn I wish I could do thatOG! 

Lloyd: you mean... get what you want through crying?

 LHH! Lloyd: nah fam I just wanna cry

lindsey-chr-not-found 

OG! Lloyd, whispering to OG! Kai: was I really like this when I was younger?

vlanderzine Oh god I’m wheezing 

lindsey-chr-not-found lmao during the battle with ian SCP! Kai gets his arm chopped ft completely and when it starts regenerating out of fire both OG! And CAK! Kai are fucking bewildered

.vlanderzine Y E S

lindsey-chr-not-found 

CAK! Kai: h... how...

 SCP! Kai: idk man it just happens

vlanderzine Oh god I’m wheezing. The SCP ninja’s Lloyds especially just defy all logic 

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

lindsey-chr-not-found while they're gone the workers at the faculty, especially wu, are going crazy trying to find them

vlanderzine Yes

lindsey-chr-not-found what if when garmadon hears both Lloyds are missing he goes crazy-

vlanderzine There’s a containment breach of the entire monastery thanks to him

 indsey-chr-not-found Yesssss.when the ninja get back it takes them 3 hours to calm evrything down

vlanderzine Yep

lindsey-chr-not-found Both Lloyd's have to spend a few nights with garmadon or else he'll go crazy again

vlanderzine Double yep

vlanderzine SCP numbers

lindsey-chr-not-found Oh shoot how are the numbers even chosne?

vlanderzine In order the SCPs are discovered

lindsey-chr-not-found oh well the ninja are all discovered at the same time so their numbers go from 1-7

vlanderzine Alright

lindsey-chr-not-found Garmadon is discovered later when both Lloyd's help find him, he's either 9 or 10 

vlanderzine How about SCP-2901-1 for adult loud and SCP-2901-2 for kid Lloyd

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine Kai and Nya are SCP-2902 and 2903

 lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine and it goes so and so fourht for the rest.at first the staff called them 01-07 for simplicity amd as a formality.

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesssss

vlanderzine They insisted on using their names later on though

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine Adult Lloyd making candy for kid Lloyd

lindsey-chr-not-found he makes some for both himself and his kid self

vlanderzine CAK! Kai wants to know how tf he’s just making stuff without copying it from something

lindsey-chr-not-found 

SCP! Adult Lloyd: want some? 

 CAK! Kai: h... how

He gives up on trying to understand their power

vlanderzineY E S

lindsey-chr-not-found what if adult Lloyd and kid Lloyd can't be separated for long or else they might die

lindsey-chr-not-found since they're technically the same person

vlanderzine Being separated makes them both really uncomfortable and antsy. There health will slowly decline, and if they are separated for more then 12 hours they’ll both fall into a coma till reunited

lindsey-chr-not-found OH SHIT YESSSS

vlanderzine Kai is also uber protective of both Lloyd’s

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessssssss

vlanderzine Back when the ninja had first been brought to the site and they were still using D-class personal, one of them knocked over Kid Lloyd. Nobody is sure how, but Kai glared a hole through the wall at the guy who knocked him over

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSS

vlanderzine They ended up doing a lot of tests on Kai, Nya, and Adult Lloyd since there abilities were considered the most dangerous,Little do they know Jay could knock out the entire facility whenever he wanted

lindsey-chr-not-found Yrssssss

lindsey-chr-not-found In an attempt to escape he does

vanderzine The ninja only stay because Kid Lloyd was taken hostage

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessss

vlanderzine They locked him in a soundproof room so his ability couldn’t affect anyone

lindsey-chr-not-found He was crying and screaming for help. He was so scared

.vlanderzine Y E S he ninja didn’t try to escape again after that for fear of what they may do to him

lindsey-chr-not-found Yesss

vlanderzine Also also

lindsey-chr-not-found OWO?

vlanderzine Being around Jay also sort of scrambles your thoughts

lindsey-chr-not-found Yessaaaas

vlanderzine There’s a lot of electricity in the air around him, so it messes with your brain and the rest of your nervous system

chr-not-found hmmm what should the icon and banner be

vlanderzinei think the icon could maybe be a stylized SCP logo while the banner has each of the ninja with their SCP numbers

lindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSS

vlanderzine it probably be head shots side by side with lloyd's split in half. one side is kid lloyd and the other is adult 

loydlindsey-chr-not-found YESSSSSSSS

vlanderzine:)

lindsey-chr-not-found:D 

@sensei-twinkles here it is, the uncut version of the convo that started it all

[comicteaparty]

April 4th-April 10th, 2020 Creator Babble Archive

The archive for the Creator Babble  chat that occurred from April 4th, 2020 to April 10th, 2020.  The chat focused on the following question:

What is something you’ve improved with in regards to writing or comic creation thanks to working on your story?

carcarchu

Oh this one i can answer definitively. it's 100% lineart. forcing myself to have to do lineart for hours everyday is definitely a way to force yourself to get better at it while i still don't like it it's something that i can do now without being scared about it

shadowhood (SunnyxRain)

Colouring. I had to get really creative in expressing emotion and hinting plot devices with colour. Also got much better with drawing gesture drawings due to looking at a lot of references!

Cronaj (Whispers of the Past)

Either writing dialogue or drawing/painting backgrounds... I used to be particularly awful at writing dialogue. It was too stiff and formal, and sounded a lot like old prose. Now, because of writing a comic and going through several scripts, the dialogue is a lot more natural, and the pacing is more realistic to actual conversations. And the other: backgrounds. I really used to not even draw them at all, and doing a comic forced me to have to think about environments in scenes. So I went from drawing floating characters to having to consider where they are and how it affects the story/mood.(edited)

Feather J. Fern

Paneling! That was my main focus to figure out how to do good paneling to have clearer pages

Deo101 [Millennium]

Honestly? Everything. It's all gotten better and I've learned so much. I would say my biggest improvement is probably in my time management, and art wise is probably composition and layouts. But it's hard to pick because I've grown so much in every aspect!

chalcara [Nyx+Nyssa]

Biggest thing I learned was to keep the story small and focused - and that the smaller, more human struggles are much better in creating tension than the whole default "the world's gonna end!" thing. Mind you, I still love a good "world's ending" story, but you gotta make people CARE about the people in that world first!

Holmeaa - working on WAYFINDERS

ohohohoooo I have done more drawing in photoshop in this short time I have worked on Wayfinders, than the rest of my life! That has given me some skills for sure! Coloring is another one, and generally just efficiency and flow in a comic

Nutty (Court of Roses)

For me it's been my use of color, and getting more confident in experimenting with it to really drive home a scene's mood!

LadyLazuli (Phantomarine)

The clearest improvement I always notice is my layouts - I’ve gotten more adventurous with panel shapes and placement as time has gone on, experimenting with more interesting designs for the whole page. Some of those experiments haven’t been totally successful but it always feels like a worthwhile try. I’ve gotten some really, REALLY cool layouts out of these experiments, and I love seeing how dynamic the panels have become compared to my first chapter. Also speed. I’m so much faster now. Thank gooooooodness (edited)

Eightfish (Puppeteer)

@LadyLazuli (Phantomarine) I've definitely noticed the experimental panel layouts! They're really cool.

AntiBunny

Planning. Book 2 is when I started using sketchbook thumbnails to plan ahead. The luxury of that first draft meant I could rethink panel layouts and how to best express the events happening if I first had an idea of what was happening laid out.

Also digital art by necessity since I switched to digital during the current arc. I was decent at lineart already, but other aspects have really challenged me to grow as an artist. I had to totally rethink the way I create backgrounds for instance. During this time the background quality actually declined a little while I got used to a new method, but experience has improved my skills greatly as I force myself into new methods.

DanitheCarutor

Hmmm maybe paneling, speechbubbles and backgrounds? My current project is my second real attempt at doing a comic, but I have learned a lot of stuff from the community and general art and story tutorials. Backgrounds and bubbles were the worst for me when first starting out, I only read manga before starting so the speechbubble shapes did not fit with how English is written. Plus I've only drawn wooded fantasy settings before making my comic, so using a ruler, figuring out perspective points and drawing buildings was very new to me. I still hate drawing cities and such, but I've gotten a lot better at it and it is easier to do now. Since I mostly stuck with B&W before my current project, coloring also kind of improved? Depending on who's looking at it. Lmao If I were to think about story/characters/dialogue, I have no idea if I've improved. Honestly, I don't pay much attention to the quality. Also my brain kinda says it's all bad regardless of what I make.(edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

For my Improvements: I'm getting better at my comic panels, as I adjust to the vertical style. Before I've always drawn the standard format. It's more than just boxes, I try to keep a variety of sizes. I'm picking up roughly how much 'gutter space' I need per 2-3 panels.etc I'm also improving on choosing colors that fits my love of detailed linework.(edited)

OH! I'm also learning about Clip studio shortcuts, how to use the assets they provide which makes the process, abit easier on me. Things I need to change, is I want to get a good speedy coloring style, without referring to my usual coloring.(edited)

Tuyetnhi (Only In Your Dreams!)

the more I worked on the comic, the more I feel ambitious in making different angles and perspective. So it's really hitting me out of my comfort zone which is good! lol Though I'm trying to keep in mind of my speed, what I feel like I've improved a bit is trying to keep in mind of paneling and dialogue.

FeatherNotes(Krispy)

Process! Space and i have definitely figured out the most productive way to produce content at the rate and quality that also provides us with time for our own projects. Comics are a useful tool that helps you discover ways to better organize your creative workflow for sure!

sssfrs (JOE IS DEAD)

I think probably scenery. I used to dread drawing inanimate objects but now I feel more confident in filling in a scene & even look forward to it sometimes. Maybe also page composition and paneling but I still have a lot to learn there

eli [a winged tale]

One of the reasons I embarked on the webcomic journey is to push myself to improve not only storytelling but also utilizing art to create a reader experience that would be difficult to replicate with just words. I’d like to think that 9 months into making A Winged Tale, I’ve improved on deciding when is a good opportunity to invest more into backgrounds vs character dynamics and when should be focused more on sequences of panels and composition. While the comic is written in a four panel format, more and more I’m finding areas where the story could be told by breaking those rules (attached pic). It’s a balance and I hope going forward I will improve more in pushing the limits of panels and find ways to express the story in fun and interesting ways.(edited)

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

Wow that's a very good description @eli [a winged tale] I look forward to reading more of your story journey

eli [a winged tale]

Thanks so much Joichi! I’m eager to keep learning~

Capitania do Azar

I'm gonna go with planning and actually getting it done. I'm so much faster because now the process is much more streamlined to me

kayotics

My whole comic was started s an exercise to just get better at comics generally so I’d probably say every part I’ve improved at? The biggest things are probably colors and the upfront planning process

Phin (Heirs of the Veil)

Ooof hard question. I think my main improvement lies with page and speechballoon layouts and writing natural feeling dialouge. I'd say maybe also character acting?

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I'm slowly learning how to create more engaging comic narrative. I read and research in the polished prem webcomics to see what makes them engaging? Like I'm going to challenge myself by creating a series of short stories with a reoccurring set of characters. Every new comic series I create is an experience, trial and error. Sometimes I skip the writeup and just go in blind, trust my own instincts. I'm glad to reach out and talk about it than in my own head. I hope by this year, I'll have at least 2 chapters of Hybrid Dolls out.(edited)

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

I've definitely gotten better at planning/ outlining multiple chapters ahead of time. I did not even do this when I was doing the first 10 something chapters. (I did attempt an outline before I began the comic, but the story changed significantly from the outline by the time I started the comic, and I did not try to do it again for a long while.) I can't remember when I started, but I do recall having a lot of trouble the first time I tried to do it. It's gotten a little easier each time, though. In fact, I just spent the past few days outlining the next few very important chapters, de-tangling some big tangles. I'm really glad my outlining (and overall writing) skills had leveled up, because HOO boy, I don't think my 2014-2015 self could have done this!

I also became friends with enviros. I had already become somewhat comfortable drawing perspective when HoK started, but I had a sort of mechanical approach to it, like "oh I need some enviro for these establishing shots, guess I'll draw them." But now I LOVE drawing enviros! (some types anyway...) It's my comfort activity, something I treat myself to after a long day! In the thumbnails for my next few pages, there's a few enviro-heavy panels that I have to remove, because I drew too many of them (and the pacing got too slow as a result). I have to stop myself from drawing too many of these.

My biggest improvement is probably I've come to understand my characters and my themes much better, but that's more of a "I got better at making HoK" than a "I got better at making comics." There's definitely a difference between the two.

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

@keii’ii (Heart of Keol) ah I totally understand I tried the outline method before I start but my story changed alot after I drew it. So it start to feel like a waste of time for me, but I'll still write an outline to make sure to plan where my story heads(edited)

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Yeah! I needed to draw those first few chapters to understand the direction of my own story.

The drawing part is an essential part of self-reflection, to try to understand what it is that I want out of the story. The answer has always been there in my heart, but I'm not able to see it clearly from the get-go.

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I end up breaking scenes and put them in for future episodes, since I want to get a certain flow in the story.

It could be tricky to see what it is you want out of the story until you are in at least 3 chapters in?

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

I needed way more than 3 chapters -- though granted, my chapters are short, so that could be a part of it

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

I see the early first script as testing the water. like a test to figure out the characters personalities. Unless you are bringing in old characters which you knew before?(edited)

keii’ii (Heart of Keol)

Even if the characters have been with you for a while, unless I have made a comic with them, there is a big chance that the characters will completely change, too.

DanitheCarutor

You know, I was thinking about about this, mostly about how I wouldn't have been happy if I was able to finish my comic the day I started. Then I realized I'm happy that I didn't. The first chapter wasn't the best, I was just learning how to coloring a comic, still fleshing out my characters and was still brainstorming small kinks in the story. I also still didn't have as much of an understanding of perspective, or panel and bubble layout. Even though I still have a lot I need to work on, I've gotten a lot better in all those aspects. Even though my use of color is weird, I've definitely gotten much more confident in it, enough so that I experiment and take a lot more risks with style. Even though my panelling can be boring, I have a much better understanding of how I want a page to look. I've improved a lot with my planning as well, like even though my thumbnailing/storyboarding only takes maybe 30, I've learned to step away for a bit if I don't like a layout, or analyzing why I don't like it and brainstorming ways to make it better. If I had magically finished the comic all at once, it would look really bad and may have been less readable.

Joichi [Hybrid Dolls]

That is inspiring to hear about your improvement @DanitheCarutor

Natsu-no-Hikari

Chiming in! Just this week, Miko (my co-creator) and I were discussing how far we've come from when we started our first comic (https://liarsgotoparadise.com/) vs. where we are now. I think there have been a lot of learn experiences, such as art, dialogue, general editing - but especially with pacing and character interaction. We regret that we didn't stop to focus more on that interaction, as we wanted to move ahead in the story...and now we can't change that, except to start now and not allow ourselves to grow impatient. Take our time and enjoy the journey - that's our new motto. There's a time to rush ahead in perilous moments, but there's also definitely a time to catch our breaths and let the characters mingle and speak. It's an improvement that will become more noticeable going forward in Liars and our second comic as well.

CONNECTED

~In this chapter, Erik & Maya decide to enjoy each other’s company by having lunch. We get a closer look into their budding relationship. I’m going to try a writing technique I haven’t done in a while. Inspired by the ‘Daniel Caesar Channel’ on Pandora so if you really wanna set the tone this will help.

Warning: Contains a little fluff and some smutty thoughts with innuendos.

FOUR

ERIK

 It was the day. The day that I counted down to; lunch with a vision like Maya Symone. I stepped out the shower to prepare, washed my face and brushed my pearly whites. I wore my dreads slicked back with natural pomade and trimmed my beard with a pair of clippers; I was looking sharp as hell. I went into my bedroom to the closet to find something to wear; a plain white long-sleeved tee, acid wash jeans with come freshly polished combat boots I’ve since my navy days. I slipped on my beads, gold ankh chain and was on the way to pick up Maya in my used black 2008 Cadillac CTS. The night before, I got to talk to her for hours about anything. She was so chill, serene. She wasn’t like anything or anyone that I can imagine. Her voice was so chill and surreal that it seemed as if I met the woman of my dreams in the flesh.

 I finally pulled up to her apartment building and stepped out to stand by the passenger side so I can get the door for her like a real man should; I texted her to let her know that I was out. That is when I saw her. She had on a pair of jean shorts with a red sweatshirt and some black Chuck Taylors. Her hair was in a low style, topped with a bowl hat fedora and her glossed lips curved up. I walked slowly up on to the curve. “Hello, Miss Maya.”

MAYA SYMONE

    Erik stood there looking at me with a brow rose to his hairline. “Hello, Mr. Erik. You look nice.” Nice was an understatement. He was ripped, charming and can make any sista melt. When he smiled, I had to smirk. “Thank you. You look great. What did you have a taste for? Today is all about you.” Smooth sone of a bitch. “Well, how about sushi? I haven’t had it in a while.” He nodded and opened the door for me. Once I got in, he shut my door and made his way to his side. I couldn’t help but watch him. Just the swagger in his walk made him even more irresistible than the night we met. He stopped to let a car pass before letting in his car. He settled in, buckling his seatbelt, and turning his car on. 

  “Do you have a music preference?” I shook my head and he turned on the Daniel Ceasar radio through Bluetooth in his car; Lately by Russ played. I moved my head to the beat and he did the same when we pulled off. “So, Erik. What made you want to go to lunch so quick?” He only paid attention to the road. “Why you ask?” I kept it real. “Because men usually like to make women wait for weeks on in before wanting to see them. The only time they wanna see a woman this quick is when they want something.” Erik looked over at me and said “well, I’m not that type. I can’t speak for them but I know better. I just liked your company. I got a nice vibe from you, Maya.”

ERIK

  I looked back to the road leaving her speechless. She didn’t know a man like me would be straight forward. “So, Maya. Tell me about yourself. Are you actually from here?” She looked over at me and ahead. “I was born here but my folks were from Michigan. We moved around a lot since my dad was in the service but when he retired we all stayed here. What about you?”

“Me? Eh, I was born in Oakland. Pops was a...” I had to think. What can I say that wasn’t the truth but not a lie either. “My dad was a leader. He raised hope & awareness for our people. He was basically like a modern Black Panther.” Maya kept her eyes on me, like if she was trying to read me. “You said was. Is he not here anymore?” I kept my eyes on the road but shook my head and stayed quiet. Losing my dad was a very hard feeling. Something I can never get over. Hopping from one home to another, put a toll on me. Especially with not being able to contact my mother. I had no idea what had happen to her until I was sixteen. 

  “I lost my mother” was all I heard from my right. Maya looked straight ahead but still talked. “When I was fourteen, she was sick from cancer. Ovarian cancer to be exact. It was painful to see her like that. Just to see a woman like that hurt me a lot.” My eyes were still on the road as I tried to hold the tears back. “I’m sorry, Maya. Must’ve been hard.” My right arm was on the armrest, alone, Until I felt a set of fingers intertwine mine. “Me too, Erik. Me too.”

MAYA SYMONE

   We finally arrived at the sushi bar On Hollywood Blvd. We decided to sit outside on the stools to enjoy the sun and breeze. I sipped from my green tea lemonade when I noticed Erik peeking at me from his peripheral. “Yes, Mr. Stevens”, I asked and heard him chuckle. “Nothing. Just enjoying the view. So, when did you start writing?” He sipped from his cup when I replied. “Hmmm, I would have to say back in high school. It helped with the loss of my mom. My dad bought me a journal to write my emotions down and what not. I was awful at expressing myself ever since I was younger. He thought it would help.” I started to make circles in my drink with my straw as he watched. I looked over at him and asked: “wanna play a game?” 

“What kind of game?”

“Just a game so we can get to know each other more.” He raised his brow so I began to start. “First question, if you can go back in time and meet any historical figure, who would it be and why?” He tapped his fingers on the on oakwood table and said “easy, Huey P. Newton. Not only did he lead our people in a revolution but he also stood for us through anything.” I nodded and said “this might be a hard one but I actually would want to meet my great great grandmother on my dad’s side. She was a fully African woman from Kenya. Birthed over fifteen children, grandmother to eighteen and great grandmother to a lot. She was a sculptor who usually showed emotion through her work. My grandma has told me that her grandmother was known to be a crazy woman but to the family, she was just different.” I looked over at Erik and I saw was a smile. “Good answer. My turn?”

ERIK

  She bit her lip at me with a smile and I couldn’t help but look in her hazel eyes. “Kiss, Marry or Kill; Denzel, Idris or Me?” I leaned on my right hand and flashed a big old smile making her laugh. “C’ mon, Erik. That ain’t fair.”

“Why it ain’t?” She looked at me with a smirk and rolled her eyes. “Alright fine. Kill Denzel..” She looked at me with a lip bite and continue. “Kiss you and Marry Idris.” I covered my heart pretending to be hurt. “You wouldn’t marry me? Awe man that hurts me. Dang...” She wiped my pretend tear and said: “at least I didn’t say kill you instead.” I looked down at her and took her hand, caressing it with my thumb. “I guess so.” She looked at me and said, “my turn. What do you wanna do with yourself? Like you mentioned that you are the assistant to a teacher. Did you wanna do more that?” I looked over at her and was in deep thought. “To be honest, I never thought about it. Not sure what to do. When I came back overseas. I was just looking for something to help pay bills. But for as long as I’ve done it, I enjoy it. Maybe, I’ll teach.”

  The waiter finally came with our big buddha roll and steamed rice with sauce on the side. “I can actually see you as a teacher. Like the teacher that all the single moms want a conference with after school.” I bit into my roll and chuckled. “Maybe. Would you want a conference with me?”

MAYA SYMONE

  When he said that I looked over at him with a smirk on his face and little sauce on his lip. I got a napkin to wipe his mouth for him and couldn't help but look at his full lips. So delicious looking. I stared into his eyes as I still wiped his mouth. His eyes were an amazing chocolate shade and his lashes were long and full. The last time I was this close to a man, it changed me for who I am today. I placed the napkin down and grabbed another roll to place in my mouth. “You alright, Maya?” I was so deep in thought that he must’ve noticed. “I’m good” I smiled with a grin and he placed his hand my lower back as he kept eating. 

LATER THAT DAY

   We pulled up to my home afterward and he stood in front of me, leaning on the car. “Thank you for lunch. I enjoyed it.” He nodded and said “don’t mention it. It was nice to see you again. I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow night.” I held my hands in front of me and shook my head. “Wanna go for dinner? I know this French place downtown that just opened. Supposed to be nice. Want to join me?” 

   “Sure. What time do you wanna pick me?” He stood and walked over, towering me. “I met reservations for eight.” I looked up to him confused. When did you make those?”

“This morning.”

“What if I said no”, I folded my arms and he said “if you did say no then I would be in there all in my lonesome. You wouldn’t want that on your mind, would you?” Damn, he got me.  “Fine. You can ring u and I’ll let you tomorrow night so you won’t wait out here by your ‘lonesome.’“ He covered his mouth to laugh and said “Ok. Which number are you?”

“2F. When you get off the elevator, you are going to make right and I’ll be three doors down on your right.” He looked at me and got closer, caressing my cheek. “I would lie to Facetime tomorrow morning. Is that okay with you?” I nodded before he placed a kiss on my cheek while held his other hand. “I’ll be waiting, young man.” He let my hand go and made my way to my door. I waved back at him and he did the same before getting his ride and driving back. Once I got to my place, I soon got a text that read:

Good night, beautiful. Can’t wait to see you.

  I slipped out my shoes, jean shorts and hat, lied down and smile to myself looking up at my painting of sunflowers. Maybe he is different, I thought to myself before falling asleep.

~

Ok, I have the next chapter finished. Just have to add gifs, pics and edit. It’ll be about Maya’s past and how she became the woman she is today. The chapter is more graphic and involves a lot of sexual situations so be prepared.

bts as boyfriends

a/n: tbh this was basically a list of things i just had swirling around in my head and its basically a continuation of my moments w/ bts and sleepovers w/ bts

Kim Seokjin

Squishes your cheeks together in his big ol’ hands because he can and because he thinks you look cute that way

Is highkey a fan of having matching stuff, but not full-blown couple outfits

thats where he draws the line >:|

Created a separate instagram account just to document the meals you guys have together on your date nights

Dumb (but cute) snapchats of him doing that fast yelling thing he does but he just tells you how much he misses you rly aggressively

also spams you with selfies and videos from other members’ accounts

Pets names hmmm

prefers to call you Doll 

yeobo seems too serious (its what his parents call each other)

Sweetie/Honey makes him feel like an old woman

On your one year anniversary he gave you a 5000 dollar watch but presented it in a box wrapped in printer paper that had his face printed all over it that he made in Microsoft word with some of the editing crew’s help

all of his gifts get wrapped this way 

Jin Is scary serious when you take a selfie together

“Babe, this isn’t the angle--quick lets move over here so we can still catch the light” ***proceeds to sprint ahead of you to some random spot where the lighting is optimal and hurry u over like “ >:( cmon the sun is setting” ***

Is not your typical PDA type, will do weird things just to embarrass you

puts his hand in your back pocket while you’re in the starbucks line and smiles when you give him incredulous side eye

rests his phone on your head to mock you for being shorter than him

Links arms with you like old lady gal pals while you’re walking because he knows you HATE IT

fake moans when you swat his arm for being weird and embarrassing

you shushing him and ending up just glaring because he has no shame and there’s an old man glaring at u on the subway

You can bet he tests out recipes on you!

some of ur most romantic nights have been when you come over just casually but the whole house smells like food he’s been tweaking

you sit at a stool by the kitchen island and he comes by with like 8 different sauces you need to try and noodles to test for texture

He is the type of boyfriend that thinks its funny to gross you out

he eats food the fell on the floor just to piss you off

will kiss u while he’s chewing gum :(

touches u with his bare feet  :((((((

Min Yoongi

Is less bold but NEVER lacking with his affection

Likes to take walks in any weather

E.g. Loves when its rainy because then you have to huddle close because he INSIsts on sharing an umbrella

E.g. Will even walk in the winter/end of fall because he likes to share mittens and scarves - this is the closest thing to cheesy you will ever get with him

Isn’t the type to send selfies

if he does, its just of his shoes of the day with an ironic caption like “rate my fit and i’ll follow back” 

Readily accepts all of your selfies, though

Upgraded his phone 2x just so he could have the extra storage to save all your photos

a lot of them are blackmail worthy, which is the reason for saving them half the time

Yoongi Is a champ when you get drunk

will hold your hair back

lets you spit your gum out into his bare fucking hand before u hurl and will not flinch 

rejects all of your lewd propositions, but may record you and play back your whiny drunk voice the next morning to make you reconsider taking shots next time (PS u dont ever reconsider)

he likes home dates too, obvi

usually you schedule naps at his place because everything about his bedroom is better than yours

mattress is huge and the perfect firmness

sheets are higher thread-count 

can sleep with his hand up your shirt all he wants because he doesn’t have any roommates at his own place

pillows are always cool to the touch BUT

he might schedule dates at your place if he’s been away and just wants to bury himself in your smell. Speaking of...

...Yoongo is a smeller

he is always smelling you, loves how you smell

He smells your hair while zoning out waiting for his americano to come out when ur at a cafe

He’ll wrap himself around you from behind and sniff your neck idly while he plays candy crush on your belly while u try to cook dinner

Nicknames vary on his mood/your behavior

brat - for when you’re being a brat duh

kid - default, all purpose and a little mocking

your last name when he’s feeling rowdy

your first name when he’s emotional

Jung Hoseok

Hobi always runs full force at u when he sees you even if you’ve been in each other’s faces all week

Whenever he’s bored and you’re nearby he’ll moonwalk around you

You love to watch him practice but you also hate it because if you make eye contact he’ll come over and try to pull you in to teach you

He’s tried to teach you to dance dozens of times and you never get any of his choreo

usually it ends in him maneuvering you into a slow 2 step

which then always becomes a tiny makeout session

but honestly so many other random activities you do together turn into makeout sessions because tbh hob is a bit of a greaseball

this means that half the time you’re ignoring him pawing at u and making cheesy jokes during inopportune times 

the other half of the time ur dragging him by the collar and looking for an empty room to take him into because u dig him and his cheesy horndog antics

He’s also lowkey highkey a dudebro

crowds you because he wants to chest bump and ur like “-.- again?”

kept trying to get your secret couple greeting to be that little surfer hand thingie he does with tae sometimes and u said no because neither of u are 8 anymore

likes spontaneous dates, so usually you’ll text him wyd and if he’s free he’ll just answer ‘coming to get u now’ and then you sigh and slip on your shoes and wonder when you’ll be able to have a date where its not 10:30 at night and you’re not wearing sweats and ur not going out just to go eat some chicken by the Han

You utilize all your privileges that you have dating him to visit Mickey

any time there is a break in the guys’ scheduling you say you want to visit mickey

He lowkey hates those days because you just lie on the floor next to mickey and eat the snacks his mom puts out and COMPLETELY ignore him

u and his sister take turns petting mickey and telling embarrassing stories about hob while he sulks in the corner

he gets revenge by taking 20 pics of ur back and doodling horns on ur head and spamming u with them

Probably would call you a bunch of weird things as a pet name

ducky, peaches, cutie, hotpot, captain etc.

sometimes calls you sweet thang but only when its after dark and he’s trying to make moves

Hobi is the type to always want idle touch but its not exclusively sexy u kno?

if you’re watching tv together he’ll have an arm slung over you

if you’re out to dinner, he gravitates towards booths so he can press his shoulder against yours

if you’re chilling in bed you HAVE to be rubbing his arm or else he’ll give you the most ridiculous pout [its so cute tho :’C ]

Thinks you’re the funniest person alive, is always laughing at stuff you said whether if was supposed to be a joke or not

which means he does that deep hiccuping giggle all the time and you just :’))))))

He’s so patient and let’s you test out all your new skin care products on him because he likes having your hands on his face and the way you talk softly half to him, half to yourself while you talk about what you’re doing

maybe its ASMR lmao

Kim Namjoon

The first thought you had after you started dating was that you could touch his dimples any time you wanted

so naturally you do

he has long since gotten used to you just touching them while he’s driving, reading, listening to music, just existing

the first time you did it he was just talking to you about something and when he felt your finger nudge his dimple 

Joon: “I feel like if we visited in the spring we could go frog catching and maybe then we could-----*you jam your finger into his dimple*

You: and? what were you saying?

Joon: uhhhh I forgot :0

a fan of couple outfits but not in the same sense Jin. its more like he likes to plan your outfits

he gets really excited when he thinks of something you would look good in and always gets really bashful right before he shows it to you because he wants you to like it

he has great taste and is very observant of u and ur style so there has never been a time where he has planned an outfit for u and u looked less than amazing

same for photos, he takes really good artsy photos of you all the time

thats what 80% of dates with him are

walking through the city at night so he can take a picture of you with the city scape behind you

or going to those instagram-able cafes in the city during their slow hours so he can pictures of your coffees and you sitting next to a pastel neon sign that says like Love Hurts or something edgy like that

taking photos like that one girl and her bf who travel alot on ig, u know the one

but u never actually manage to get a good shot like that because ur always like ‘joon my arm hurts why dont u be the girl’

He’s in general big on googling popular activities and getaways and making a big deal of documenting it 

as a result: he’s been working on a scrapbook and he thinks you don’t know but you and all 6 other members and even Bang PD know about the scrapbook

he gives it to you on your anniversary and even though youre expecting it, you cry

he takes photos of that too and it goes in the one for next yr lol

He calls you baby of course

but not in an exaggerated/pronounced way

it comes out super naturally and he says it more than he says your actual name

u better Get used to just turning around and catching him giving you that one soft smile he does with his whole face 

“is there something on my face?” 

“no, just enjoying the view <3”

Always wants to make your plate when u visit his home, and always ALWAYS gives you too much food

going there and realizing that maybe its a family thing as you watch his mom heftily scoop vegetables onto his dad’s plate while his dad looks on in worry about where he’s going to fit it

Using Joon’s lap as a pillow!!!

he can read and stroke your head while you snooze

him humming off key because he thinks it helps you sleep

Park Jimin

Before you started dating, Jimin seemed like the guy that everyone loves because he’s effortlessly cool and charming

And he is even after you start dating BUT

He is also a little praise monster and lives for your compliments

Jimin takes advantage of the fact that you are obviously enamored with him and will do things to fluster you on purpose

runs his hands through his hair because he knows you can’t look away

gets unnecessarily close to tell you things because he knows you get goosebumps when he whispers in your ear

plays chicken with you all the time

slow looks at u until u squirm

HE’s a menace

but also reminds you of a bumblebee

Jimin loves to go to see the latest comedy movies and those are always fun

Not because the movies are actually that funny (lowkey he has really bad taste in comedy movies), but because he will LOSE IT in the middle of the theatre and end up slumped over the armrest just laughing his head off

Cue the high squeaky laugh where he can’t even see the movie screen anymore because his eyes are squeezed shut :3

After the movie he always tries to retell funny scenes like

“And then *laughs* did you see the part where the guy *laughs* *laughs more* and then he *dolphin noises*

“Yeah, Minnie it was funny”

He always wants you to come to the gym with him because he gets an unnecessary amount of motivation from those gym couple accounts on instagram

You go in your big t-shirt and shorts and he goes in a similar outfit 

It always ends up with u watching him because again he looks good when he lifts weights and does squats

he likes the attention too 

Calls u cutie

but thinks its funny to sometimes address u as his favorite anime villian’s name ur always like hmm time to go now

He’s a feeder kinda like joon

YOu can’t ever eat anything by yourself, he always wants to cut things for you, spoon feed you 

he’s very caring

This means he also is super attentive when ur sick and will bring u soup and play cards in bed and always refresh ur water and bother u about taking medicine

Kim Taehyung

Everything with Taehyung is beautiful and u feel beautiful with him which is so amazing and crazy at the same time

He is a big cheerleader for u he loves everything u do

You made a badly folded origami and he shouted cute and was so genuine and got it laminated somehow and keeps it as a keychain accessory

He’s always showing you things

like some of his favorite classical art pieces that he’s saved pictures of on his phone

sometimes he tells you about how he can’t wait to plan the perfect trip to europe with u so u can visit some of his favorite pieces face to face

Always showing u his new (and old) favorite songs and movies

some of ur dates are going to see old films or foreign films at this one really hip theatre in the city

he bought a gramophone a little while back before u started dating and he loves to play records for you and lie with you on the floor and show u  the best parts of the song with his hands in the air

He has a fancy camera too that he uses to document “special moments”

when u asked him how come he always uses it to take picture of u then he was like everything with u is special and u had to tackle him and cover his whole face in kisses because he cant just say things like that without facing the consequences

He keeps a journal where he doodles in the margins and writes songs and poems that only some people have seen like yoongi or jimin

he tried to draw you once and it came out looking a little strange but he’s still learning and u love him for it

He also gets soo sooo excited when you show him your favorite things

u dont do it as much because they dont seem as cultured or pretty but u show him a movie from ur childhood that u still watch once or twice a year and his eyes were huge the whole time and he was so glad to watch it with you

Calls u Jagi because he likes what it means and its truly accurate

U guys are just on the same wavelength and he really appreciates that u dont find him weird or quirky or overly pretentious even

u finish each others sentences and can predict moods pretty well its a little scary for the guys to watch u talk to each other in half sentences and know what the other means

When u first met, it was through Joon because he thought u guys would click and he was super nervous and worried because a lot of ppl don’t really GET him

Maybe at ur blind date a song came on in the restuarant u were in and it was a song he really liked

and then u were really shyly like “it feels like when you find a really special spot in the woods that nobody knows about” and hes like

“yeah, it really does” and then goes home and writes ur name 20 times in his notebook before getting the courage to call u about a 2nd date

Jeon Jungkook

You already know what it is with this kid: MEME CENTRAL

seriously ur texts are like 80% reaction pictures you downloaded off the internet that just get cycled over and over again because they’ve started to replace certain common phrases and emotions

Yoongi tried to jack JKs phone once and read the messages out loud to the members to try and embarrass him and he actually couldn’t read the last 24 hours of messages because it was literally all pictures/emojis

JK thinks ur laugh is the best sound he’s ever heard and is always trying to bring it out

he makes so many weird faces

those also become memes in the chat

he does so many exaggerated moves from choreo just to get u to crack up

does random weird things with his voice at inappropriate times to get u to choke

Like Jimin he is a praise monster

he wants u to think he’s impressive because he thinks ur very accomplished and cool and he’s still very much the young shy boy he was before joining the band.

Does flips because he knows u love it and won’t leave u alone until u confirm that u are in fact watching

JK: “Hey, hey, watch this LOOK are u looking?”

YOU: “Yes oh my god what?”

JK:*Does a backflip*

YOU:.........DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDEEE WTF ITS LIT IN HERE

JK: *internally* i can die now

Get ready for some next level cuteness OMG

the little nose scrunch will become the most frequent thing

u will be ruffling his hair and it’ll tickle so he’ll scrunch his nose and u’ll just explode its amazing

The BABY SMILE every time its been a while since you’ve seen each other

You’ll practically tackle him and he loves it and spins u around a little too fast

Those big sparkly eyes that he has?????

prepare for those when its his night to cook but he doesn’t feel like it and says he wants to order pizza for the billionth time

You can’t say no to him ever

gaming is not your thing but he will rope you into a 3 hour Fortnight tutorial because u love him

Not really big on pet names, or like any names for that matter

but he will use your actual name for when he wants ur undivided attention

Is scared that you think he’s immature so sometimes he’ll try to go a day without making a joke and then its ur job to try your hardest to crack him up

this is good because ultimately u also love his high pitched loud laugh 

[misas-biggest-fan]

Ajskdkdjsjjssjsj I totally got distracted for a bit sorry LOL but the first pic is Misa obviously :DD

I wanna try sketching her again in a slightly different outfit when I’m done since I think it’s the outfit rn that’s throwing me off but I got the current outfit from Claire from harvest moon but I need to add in the details of the flannel shirt n overalls n such 🙈 I do rly like the hair tho at least lol so maybe not a complete fail xD

And the second sketch also is a wip obvi lol!! But in a diff style! It’s going to be Jinsoul from the kpop group Loona 😅bc I also love her n wanted to share :D

Also I’m about to fall asleep rn but I hope these aren’t totally terrible (as I said drawing isn’t my forte 😂😅) & that u at least somewhat enjoyed!! 🤞 🙈🙈🙈

- anon swagami (tho now I guess the cats officially out of the bag hmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤷‍♀️)

:DDD

HELLO!!! <333 

this is adorable!!! no i LOVE the whole flannel shirt and overalls thing, farm misa is CUTE a;lskdjf and the hair is super good, it’s all cute actually!! if you wanted, you could keep the outfit on this one and do a different one of her in another outfit bc then this one could work towards the farmer misa au! :DD 

also i lOVE this second one ive seen you tweet abt those bands they seem fun!! i cant wait to see how this one turns out!! faces are actually my favorite of everything to draw and to see, its just the most interesting to me, so id love to see how you do it!!

i wish i was better at like highly stylized art so maybe my process doesn’t hold much weight but something i do when i draw is just always get like 500 different reference images and it helps me a TON i feel like you had a particular picture of jinsoul that you were working off of right? bc i personally can never get proportions good like that unless i have a bunch of pictures in front of me of people. so i always just preach the more the better, even for cartoon or stylized art like misa, i think its all abt what youre seeing in front of you, you know? i hope that’s helpful at all!! but i rly rly do like what you have both of these are super cute ;aldksfjas;fldkj and i love the like posing for misa you know she’s precious ;alsdk these look super good!!

It’s a Sign of the Times - Part #1

April 7th 2017

8am

You were at your kitchen counter with a cup of green tea and bowl of fruit listening to the radio one breakfast show waiting for Sign of the Times to debut. You’d heard the song a thousand times before, but this is the first time the world would hear it you. You’d been the first person he played it for, in the car on the way to your flat after you’d picked him up from the airport when he’d arrived home from Jamaica.  You knew he was proud of it, but you also knew that he was nervous to release it.

When One Direction started their hiatus in December 2015, Harry spent most of his time hiding away in your flat, trying his best not to be found. You didn’t mind, you met him when you moved to London in 2013 and he had been your best friend ever since. You always loved when he stayed, it made your flat feel much less lonely. Even now, 18 months later he stayed at your flat more than he did his own.

“Good Moring” you heard Nick’s voice echo through your radio and stopped eating, you were feeling second hand nerves for Harry.

“Good Morning” Harry’s voice sounded around the room,

“I feel a bit sick about this, you are no longer, we would say this sentence, Harry from One Direction, you are now, Harry Styles Solo artist. How does that feel? And how does it feel now knowing that this is like day one, of a really important you know new chapter in your life?”

“It’s a bit weird, I feel like I’ve been hibernating in the studio for so long” he certainly had, you couldn’t count on one hand how many days you would find him in the studio, playing around with different edits of his songs, trying to get everything perfect for the release.

“It’s a good song isn’t it?”

“It’s the song I’m most proud of writing I think”

“It feels like a smack in the face”

“Thanks, I like to smack in the face”

“It’s like I’m here and this is what I sound like, it’s massive and it sounds really good in here”

“It sounds good in here when you do the high bits”

You heard your phone buzzing across the counter and got up to answer it turning the radio down on the way over. You saw Harry’s face light up the screen and swiped to answer.

“Hiya Solo artist Harry Styles”

You heard him chuckle on the other end “Did you hear it?”

“Course I did, wouldn’t miss it for the world H, sounds good on the radio”

“Surprised you’re up this early on your day off”

“Heyy, I only got the day off for you, and if you’re going to be a prick about it I’ll go into work, they always need extra hands”

“No no, you need the time off, you better be coming to the release party tonight”

“Again, I wouldn’t miss it for the world”

“Good, because I have a friend that I’d like you to meet”

“Hmmm, I’m listening” You’d been single for over a year now, and Harry was determined to find you a boyfriend

“His name’s Danny, and he’s ruggedly handsome, trust me, you don’t want to say no to this one Y/N”

“You said that last time and look how that turned out”

“Yeah, sorry about that, old Jimmy was not my finest choice”

“I don’t think he’s anyone’s finest choice”

“Probably not, but Danny, Danny’s a great guy, you should definitely give him a chance”

“I’m interested, if he’s as ruggedly handsome as you say”

“Wonderful, I’ll come over soon and we’ll find you something to wear”

True to his word, about an hour later there was a knock on your door and Harry was stood there, two cups of coffee in his hand and a beanie on his head.  Handing you a cup as he walked in, placing himself on the couch. He let out a load groan and put his feet up on the coffee table

“Make yourself at home then” you stared at him “Just because you’re a solo artist now, doesn’t mean you can put your feet on my coffee table.” He took his feet off the table and handed his phone to you

“It keeps ringing, and I don’t know what to say when people tell me it’s a good song”

“What do you want me to do with it?” you held the phone in your hand, and it started to ring again, looking at the screen, you saw that it was Des that was calling

“It’s your Dad, you should probably answer this one” he rolled his eyes, but he took the call while you went to your room to get changed out of your pyjamas. He was on the phone for a while, by the time he had finished you had curled your hair and done your make up, nothing special for today, just a little bit of concealer to cover your dark circles, you’d put a full face on tonight for the party.

“Well don’t you look nice” Harry said walking into the bathroom and looking at you in the mirror

“My best friend released his first single today, wanted to look nice to celebrate” you turned and smiled “How’s your Dad?”

“Very Proud apparently” He said, picking up your can of hairspray and inspecting it

“Of course, he is H, everyone is” you put your make brush back in its jar and turned to Harry “Should we go and get some lunch?”

“Absolutely” he nodded, “My shout”

“I hope so” you walked out of the bathroom and grabbed your handbag off your bed “Did you drive here?”

“Yeah,” he took his keys out of his pocket and showed them to you “car’s parked a block away though, didn’t want anyone to know I was coming here today.”

You put your jacket on while Harry pulled his beanie over his head and put his hoodie up, he didn’t want to be seen until later that night. You both walked to his car staying a few feet away from each other, you’d been spotted together before and immediately fans and media outlets assumed you were dating, which didn’t help with either of your dating lives.  Harry drove to your usual café and parked around the back, so the car wouldn’t be seen. When you walked in he greeted everyone that worked there with a handshake, like he always did. You took your seats in the back of the café and as you were looking at the menu, you heard the familiar sound of your friend Alison’s voice.

“It’s my two favourite people” she beamed walking over to your table

“Ali!” Harry smiled, getting up to give her a hug, “What are you doing here on a Friday?” Ali was one your friends from uni, she was always energetic and great fun in small doses but that was all you could take. She worked for an accounting firm on weekdays and occasionally picked up a shift at the café to save some extra money.

“Just getting my lunch to take back to the office” she pointed at the counter where one of the staff was making her fresh sandwich, “Heard you on the radio this morning, H, it’s a great song, I’ve had it on repeat in the office all morning”

“Thanks Ali, means a lot” he nodded modestly

Ali turned to you and told you about the rumour she heard about one of your classmates getting a job in her building and you told her that you were having your day off to celebrate with Harry. Your relationship with Harry had always confused Ali, she could never understand how it had never been anymore than a friendship, the chemistry that you shared with Harry matched that of the best couples that you knew, but there was no way either of you wanted anything more than a friendship. Ali had always pushed you to make a move, but to you, Harry would always be the boy that you met in an airport the day you landed in London, that let you live in his house while your flat was being fumigated, and that wouldn’t change.

“Ali” the waiter called, “Sandwich is ready.’ She turned and walked to the counter taking her sandwich and thanking her friend.

“I’ll see you two tonight” she waved as she walked by your table.

“Stop staring at her ass Harry” you glared at him

“Sorry” he cleared his throat “You know I’ve always had a thing for her”

“You’ve never hidden it well”

“She’s single right?” he asked taking a sip of his water

“Yeah, you finally going to make a move?”

“Maybe” he shrugged.

When you both finished eating your lunch, Harry paid, and you made your way out the back door to his car, which was parked at the other end of the parking lot. As you walked, you spotted a member of the paparazzi. Harry was a few feet in front of you, so you ducked your head so that they couldn’t see your face, and pulled your phone out to text Harry 

“Paps in the corner, behind the bushes, they’ve probably already snapped a few pics” 

You saw him take his phone out and looked towards the bushes sending you a reply 

“Go out the front of the cafe, I’ll pick you up from there” 

You felt your phone buzz and you subtly turned around, checking your bag, so that they would think you left something inside. You went in and told the manager that the paparazzi were sitting out the back, before heading out the front door, and waiting for Harry to round the corner.  A few minutes later his car appeared and pulled up to the kerb so that you could get in.

“So much for staying hidden today H”

“As long as they didn’t get you in the photos, we’ll be safe, don’t want Danny to get the wrong idea” he laughed, not worried about the pictures.

You arrived back at your building, and opened the door to your apartment, hanging your handbag on it’s hook while Harry took his beanie off and went straight to your bedroom.

“What are you up to?” you yelled after him

“Finding you something to wear tonight” he called back, while he opened your wardrobe. You followed him and sat on your bed, watching him go through your things.

“Style me Styles” you giggled

He pulled a bronze lace dress out of the wardrobe “This is nice” he nodded “I’ve never seen it before”

“I bought it to wear to a work Christmas party last year, but I decided not to go”

“Let’s put in in the maybe pile for tonight” he turned back to your wardrobe, flicking through the rack, pulling out a similar looking pink dress and holding out to look at it properly “These are almost the same dress Y/N”

“They are not! This one” you held up the bronze dress “shows more cleavage, and that one” you pointed to the one Harry was holding “is all pretty and lacy and I just couldn’t stop myself from buying it”

He nodded, placing the pink dress on the bed next to the other one and returning to the wardrobe. A few moments later, he pulled out another pink dress “This one matches the album cover” he handed it to you

“No one’s seen the album cover yet, so the point would be lost on everyone except you”

“It would boost my ego though” he shrugged

“Fine” you said standing up off the bed “I’ll try it on, and the others too” you unbuttoned your jeans and took them off as he passed you the first dress, unhooking your bra you laid the dress down and unzipped the back. Harry was watching intently as you stepped into the dress, wriggling a little to get it past your bum. “Zip me please” you turned your back towards Harry and he zipped up the dress.

“Danny’s a lucky guy” he said, looking at you in the dress

You looked in the mirror, not liking how the dress fit around your chest “It would look better if I had cleavage to expose”

“You’ve got great tits though, that makes up for the lack of cleavage”

“Harry!” you giggled and threw your bra at him

“It’s true!” he laughed catching the bra. You tried the rest of the dresses on, and settled on the bronze one because it was the most comfortable.

“Alright” he said turning to your shoe closet “Shoes”

“Black ones I think H”

He waded through your shoes, pulling out dozens of black pairs, almost all identical, growing more frustrated as the more you said no. Finally, he pulled out a pair of black stilettos that laced up at the ankles.

“Yes!” you said, “Those ones”

“Wonderful” he said standing and flopping down onto the bed “I’m exhausted now”

You laughed and laid right next to him “Me too, I woke up early to listen to some crappy song that was coming out today”

“Hmm” he sighed contently “Me too”

It didn’t take long for the two of you to drift off to sleep. Harry could sleep anywhere, and you really were exhausted, this was your first day off work in a while and it was nice to catch up on some sleep.

***

You woke up an hour later when you could no longer feel Harry’s hot breathe on your neck. Rubbing your eyes, still a little hazy from your nap you stood up and walked into the kitchen, finding Harry near the doorway, putting his shoes on.

“Where are you off to?” you yawned

“Home, I’ve got to get…” he stopped talking while he looked for his other sock

“Away?” you giggled

“Ready” he chucked at your reference to his song. He pulled the laces tight on his shoe and stood up, making his way over to you “I hope I didn’t wake you up love”

“It’s alright, I need to get ready too”

He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead “See you 9, text me when you get there” he turned the door handle and gave you a stern look.

You nodded “Bye H.”

He walked out the door, closing it gently behind him, making sure his beanie was on enough to cover his hair, he went outside and made his way quickly to his car. London traffic was always busy on a Friday and what would normally be a ten-minute drive took forty and he was running late to meet his stylist. He speed into the driveway, pulling the handbrake and jumping out of his car. When he got inside he checked his phone, finding that his stylist was also running late. He let out a sign of relief and sat on the couch in the sitting room resting his head on a cushion, taking a moment to breathe before the night got hectic. He couldn’t take his mind of Alison, the way she walked into that café with a sense of importance and spoke so sweetly about his song. He’d always been intrigued by her, but today he just couldn’t get her out of his head. The buzzer rang about ten minutes after Harry sat down, and pulled him out of his daze.

“Heyyy, it’s stylist Harry!” he exclaimed into the intercom

“Heyyy, It’s Harry Styles!” Harry Lambert countered back. Harry buzzed him into the gate and opened the front door to greet him. Lambert hopped out of his car, opening the door to the back seat, and taking out Harry’s suit.

“Shoes are on the other side H, can you grab them?”

“Sure thing” Harry walked around to the side of the car and grabbed out Gucci box that contained a new pair of shoes for him to wear tonight.

***

Harry sat in his chauffeur driven car, dressed in an all black suit, with nails painted black to match. Tonight, was his night, to celebrate his hard work and to launch his solo career with all the people that made it possible, but it was also your night. It had been a long time since you had the chance to go out and properly enjoy yourself and Harry knew how much you needed this tonight. His friend Danny, who had helped with the set design for the album artwork, was, as he had told you this morning, ruggedly handsome, but not good enough for you. In Harry’s eyes you deserved the world, and some one that could give you that, but he knew you weren’t ready for anything serious, so he settled for setting you up with guys he thought would at least treat you like an angel.  

The car pulled up and Harry jumped out, thanking the driver ducking his head as he moved towards the building to avoid being seen by any paps that may have received word of the launch party. He was met at the door by his manager Jeff, who shook his hand “Congratulations mate, you’ve got a number one single”

Harry’s eyes widen at the news “What? No way?”

“It’s not official yet, until next Friday, but it’s looking good”

You and Alison had arrived together about ten minutes before Harry did, immediately heading for the bar and grabbing a drink each.

“Bartender’s cute” Ali said taking a sip of her drink

“Go for it Al” you winked, “I’ve got my eye on someone else tonight”

“Do you?” she asked, surprise evident in her voice “and who is this knight in shining amour and why aren’t you talking to him”

You giggled, finishing off your drink “Sorry, Harry has his eyes on someone for me” you held up your glass “shall we get another?”

The room was buzzing with excitement and you spotted Harry by the door talking to his manager, as you made your way towards the bar, you left Ali to flirt with the bartender, knowing that he would shut her down quickly and hoping that she would turn to Harry for comfort.

“Mr Harry Styles” you said when you were close enough to him for him to hear you

“Miss Y/N Y/L/N” he smiled as you made your way over to him

“You look handsome tonight” you said as you hugged him

“You look quite nice yourself, who picked that dress for you?” he winked, and you nudged him playfully

“Some loser” you smiled

“Some loser that will probably have a number one single”

You looked at him in amazement “You could have opened with that” he shrugged in response “congratulations H, I’m a very proud friend”

“Let’s go and get a drink, Danny’s at the bar” he winked at you and you both turned heading towards the bar.

“So is Ali” you winked

“The usual plan then?”

“Yeah, but neither of us is to leave before speeches tonight, that would look bad on your part”

“It would” he agreed as you reached the bar. He introduced you to Danny and he really was as ruggedly handsome as Harry had suggested. He was tall, with messy brown, not unlike Harry’s, and stubble that hid his sharp jawline. His eyes were a deep brown that you could easily lose yourself in and he spoke in a welsh accent, which is one accent that you had always had a thing for. After all the niceties had been observed between the tree of you, Danny got you both and drink and you split away from Harry, leaving him to make his move with Ali.

Yourself and Danny took a seat on the couches on the other side of the room, where it was much quieter.

“So, how do you know Harry?” he asked, finding the common ground between the two of you

“I met him in an airport four years ago, and he took me in like the lost puppy that I was and we’ve been friends ever since”

“He’s a good guy” Danny nodded

“One of the best” you agreed “He said you helped with the album artwork?”

“I did, I’m a set designer, so I got everything organised and looking pretty for the photo shoot”

“They’re lovely photos” you glanced over at Harry while you were talking, seeing him and Ali laughing together and assuming that things were going well. You and Danny spent the next few hours getting to know each other, flirting back and fourth and drinking more than you should be. When it was time for speeches, you and Danny made your way towards the microphone so that Harry could see you. Ali found you and made her way over to the empty seat on the other side of you while Jeff was giving his speech.

“He looks good tonight, doesn’t he?” you whispered to Ali, hoping that she would agree

“He’s a handsome man Y/N” she whispered back “there’s a sparkle in his eyes tonight”

You held back a smile, you knew that sparkle was a combination on pride in himself and lust after Ali, you’d seen that look before and you knew that Ali had too. She leaned over to you again, just as Jeff was finishing his speech

“Y/N?”

“Hmm?”

“You wouldn’t be offended if I went home with H tonight would you?”

“Why would that offend me Al?”

“I just thought that maybe you had a thing for him?”

“He’s my best friend Al, I wouldn’t dream of having anything more with him, I’ve seen too much” you laughed

“So you’re ok with it?”

“Go for it Al, you both need it” you took a sip of your drink “Plus” you put your hand on Danny’s knee “I’ve got Danny”

Your attention was drawn back to Danny who was starting to get annoyed with Ali’s presence. He placed a hand your thigh and looked at you intensely

“Should we get out of here Y/N?”

You wanted to, you really wanted to, but you promised Harry that you would stay for speeches. “I told H I’d stay until after speeches”

He sighed and rolled his eyes “I’ll get you another drink then” he got up and walked away just as Harry got to the microphone. Noticing that Danny was walking Harry made eye contact with you giving you a thumbs up, thumbs down motion, trying to gauge whether things were going well. You responded with a smile and a thumbs up and he nodded and started his speech, thanking everyone involved in the making of the single and the album, giving special mention to his manager and his family. You spotted Anne and Gemma in the corner crying with pride and you smiled, feeling the tears well in your own eyes.

“And Lastly,” he said, looking at you “I would to thank Y/N, my wonderful best friend, who has been a constant source of positive energy throughout this whole process, encouraging me to keep going when I was ready to give up and giving me a place to escape for a little while, Y/N, you’ve been incredible, and I can’t thank you enough for everything you do for me, I certainly don’t deserve a friend like you”  

You held your now full glass up to Harry as he finished speaking about you, tears now evident in your eyes. Danny put his arm around you and you leant into him resting your head on his shoulder. Harry wrapped his speech by thanking the venue and the staff and handed the microphone back Jeff, who lead the crowd in a toast to Harry and Sign of the Times. After that everyone went back to mingling and you felt Danny push your hair behind your ear. You turned to face him and before you knew it your lips were attached, and Danny’s hand was moving towards your inner thigh.

“Now, we can get out of here” you said between kisses. Danny stood immediately, adjusting himself to hide the growing mass in his pants. You found Harry in the now thinning crowd and singled to him that you were leaving with Danny. He smiled to himself, pleased that this set up was successful.

You and Danny made your way outside and hailed a cab. After giving the driver, his address Danny closed the partition and unbuttoned his pants, pulling out his less than impressive hard cock.

“Fix this for me will you?” he looked at you and down at his cock. You were taken aback by the gesture, but you obliged, wrapping your mouth around it and gently licking the tip before putting the whole thing in your mouth. Before long you felt the car pull up and quickly removed his cock from your mouth, and watching him pull his pants back up before taking his wallet out of his pocket to pay for the cab.

You both stumbled up to his dingy apartment where he immediately showed you to the bedroom, once again pulling out his cock, and pushing you down onto the bed. Your lips met his and his hands made their way towards your centre, pushing your panties to the side and lining his cock up with your entrance. You let out a quiet moan as you felt him fill you up, not even a minute later, you felt him coming undone above you, his orgasm spilling inside of you. He immediately rolled off you and laid next to you, catching his breath.

“Is that it then?” you said, unimpressed with his selfish love making, if you could call it that.

“You were incredible love” he said looking at you, in a post orgasm haze

“You weren’t” you said standing up and adjusting your panties “If that’s all you’re capable of, I think I’ll be leaving” you picked your back and made your way to the door, not hearing a single protest from Danny.

You left the building and ordered an Uber to pick you up and take you home, sending Harry a text while you were sat in the back.

“That was a bust, dude didn’t even last a minute. I’m headed home now, hope things are going well with Ali”

You got a reply sooner than you expected “I’m sorry Y/N, you can stay at mine tonight if you’d like? Ali’s had a few too many, I’m in the cab now taking her home, meet me there?”

You told your Uber driver that you needed to go to your friend’s place, and he turned at the next street, heading towards Ali’s. “Sure thing H, we’ll tuck her in and call it a night, sorry you didn’t get yours tonight either”

“Hey, it’s a sign of the times.”

Well that’s part one! I hope you all enjoy it and I can’t wait to get started on part two! I’ve been excited about this series for a long time, and it only gets better from here. I appreciate any feedback, so feel free to tell me what you think! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, if you celebrate, and if you don’t I hope you had a lovely Monday 

All the Love, Lyss . xx
