જ⁀➴ stupid cupid ! myung jaehyun ! chapter zero — prologue
Tumblr media
STUPID CUPID... Myung Jaehyun, a cupid in training, finds his way on earth due to his teachers orders. What happens when he clumsily makes a few mistakes that lead him to fall in love with you?
🏹
Jaehyun groaned, this was the fourth arrow he missed. In a row. "Wow, hyung. You're worse than usual today." Woonhak joked, earning a glare from Jaehyun.
"He's right though, he just worded it weirdly," Sungho started, hitting Woonhak on the head "is everything okay?" He looked up from his targets then to Jaehyun who seemed down.
"I'm just so nervous for the entrance exams. They're in two months but i've been out of touch for a while!" He whined, watching Sungho perfectly hit his targets.
"It's two months Jaehyun, you always find a way to get back on your feet. Why do you think you're our leader?" Taesan bumped shoulders with Jaehyun in an attempt to cheer him up, which worked a bit.
"You're right. I'll meet my quota for this week and I'll pass the entrance exams." Jaehyun smiled. "There's our leader." Sungho teased.
Jaehyun pulled his heart-shaped arrow backward, and released. It got closer and closer to the target until..
"Hyung," Woonhak said, petrified, "Did you just hit the dog!?" Sungho finished. "Heh, I mean.. on the bright side, the dog seems to love them." Jaehyun gave a sheepish grin, stretching the o.
Jiho sighed, "Jaehyun, your stats have really fell off this month." Jiho was the headmaster of KOZ, an agency for aspiring cupids.
"I know.. exams start soon, and I've just been very stressed." Jaehyun bit his lip. "I think you need a new environment. A fresh start-" Jaehyun stood from his seat, interrupting Jiho "Don't tell me you're bumping me down to the baby courses!"
Jiho sighed, signalling for Jaehyun to sit down, "No- although you should start again— you're bring brought to earth." Jaehyun's eyes widened, "Wait, isn't that post-grad only? i haven't even finished Target Practice 101!"
"That's exactly why. You need to observe a real love mission. Minimum interaction, no meddling, no arrows, no-"
"Got it!" Jaehyun beamed, already jumping out his seat. Jiho shook his head at the boy, Jaehyun would be the death of him.
Jaehyun grabbed his head as he tried not to puke all over the floor. "When Jiho said it would be a quick trip, I didn't think he meant this quick." he spoke to himself.
He nodded to himself, Jiho sure did spoil him. A nice 4 bedroom apartment, a balcony, and wow, it even included a girl- wait what?
You screamed, then Jaehyun screamed, then you screamed again. "What are you doing in my house?!" You grabbed the closest thing to defend yourself with.
"Y-your house?! Jiho sent me here!" Jaehyun yelled back, "Jiho? Who is that.. never mind- get out!' You threw a shoe at him. "Hey- don't throw things at me! I didn't wanna be here either!" He hugged his arms over his head. "Then why are you here?" You held up a shoe, ready to attack again. "I don't know! Jiho sent me here." He pursed his lips, holding his hands in surrender. "Jiho? What are you even talking about." You lowered the shoe, intrigued now.
"You know, head cupid?" He looked at you like you were crazy. "Uhm, no I don't.. and cupid? The ones that wear diapers?" You scoffed. "Hey! I'll have you know I stopped wearing diapers at six." He said offended.
"..Right. Well I'm calling the cops, and maybe even the psych ward." You opened your phone, dialing 112. "Wait no! I'll prove it. I'll prove to you I'm a cupid. Well, in-training." You raised an eyebrow at him.
He cleared his throat, "I wasn't supposed to bring it with me, but here we are!" He summoned a bow out of nowhere. "W-Wait how did you do that? Am I on an episode of Impractical Jokers?" You looked around the room for hidden cameras.
"Impractical Jokers? Humans are so weird.. Anyway, look!" Jaehyun summoned an arrow, he fumbled with the bowstring, tongue sticking out in concentration, "Are you sure you know how to do this?" You asked nervously. "Psh- of course! Besides, nothing bad will happen-" he was cut short when the arrow was shot, it bounced around the apartment, then landed straight into Jaehyun's side.
You looked horrified. "A-Are you okay? Are you gonna die? Nonono I can't have someone die in this apartment." You started freaking out. "Look, I'm fine!" He gave a thumbs up, but he started glowing.
"Woah, that was weird.." He muttered, "Are you okay now?" You asked, scared to get any closer.
He looked up at you like you just hung the moon.
"If I had to rate you on a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate you a nine because I am the one you’re missing." Jaehyun giggled, pupils dialted.
Great.

Staff: “Strawberries are more expensive than cherries this year”
🟢: Come on, I can’t even eat strawberries.”
and he said that he will be giving out strawberries by the end of the year. but his staff is saying something about it being cheaper as the months go by so it seems like an unnecessary expense.
some random convo and then a part where one staff said that she has 3 day approved vacation leave and yibo said that’s too short. he is such a good boss!!!!!
next is WYB talking to someone over the phone possibly.
🟢 “Is it enough?”
🟢 “Don’t gift boxes make people look good?”
🟢 “XX bought it and I haven’t paid for it yet.”
🟢 "It's cheap there. Do you know which one is delicious?"
🟢 "Thank me"
🟢 "Just give it up. I'm angry."
🟢 "goodbye"
i wanna know what gift boxes this couple is giving out!!!!!
🔴"What class should I take?"
🔴 “Let’s go tie-dye.”
🟢 "How do you have time?"
🔴 “I’ll go there if I have time.”
🟢 "You want to make your debut"
🔴 "No matter how weird you are"
🔴 "I came to see you. I came wearing slippers."
🔴 "It won't be too embarrassing for you."
🟢 “can’t wear it normally”
🔴 "No, I don't have the freedom to dress.
🟢 "I'm talking about shoes"
🟢 "Wow, come and train me."
🔴 "Who started it first?"
🟢 "Wow"
🔴 "Wah wow wow again"
🟢 "I don't have the freedom to speak?"
🔴 “Still 40 minutes left”
Staff: "Ah? Won't we have dinner together at noon?"
🔴 "The plan has changed. I can't eat anymore. I'll come back next week to eat."
..
🟢 "So you didn't sleep"
🔴 "Why do you want to see if you can't do it?"
🔴 "I bought a tree and you can find someone to pick it up at home."
🟢 "When"
🔴 "Wouldn't it be better to sleep a little longer?"
🟢 “Bring something with you”
🟢 "Maybe tomorrow afternoon he said to tell me an hour in advance."
🔴 "You drove me away as soon as I arrived, look at it"
🟢 👊🏻
Staff "If you don't want to eat, just eat fruit. That's enough."
🔴 "good"
🔴 "I brought everything. I even brought you something."
🟢 "You won't talk about yourself anymore, will you?"
🔴 "Okay, I'll leave now"

🔴 “I feel better”
🟢 "I'll follow you in a while and let Brother X drive to follow me. We'll come back later.

I was thinking about dog days again (as I love to do) and the thought hit me of Lance being the one turned into a dog instead of Keith. Besides the obvious fact that Lance’s family would go looking for him opposed to Keith not having that (🥲), how do you think the story/characters would change with that role reversal?
wow, i'm ecstatic my fic crosses your mind so much!
thanks for the question!
if i were to rewrite this fic with Lance being the one turned into an animal, he wouldn't be a dog. he'd be a cat bc that fits his personality better imo. i've seen text posts that say it's Keith who's the cat, and y'all can think what you want. lol. i don't care.
anyway, Lance would be a cat and he would immediately go home to his family. in the world of Dog Days as i've built it, his parents would not take long to figure it out at all, considering all they've seen. what WOULD take a while is him changing back.
what Lance most desires is to be loved, but also to be someone's first choice. the priority. if he helped a fae creature and was "gifted" with being a cat, he would really only turn back via an expression of love where Lance realizes both "oh, he loves me," and "oh, i'm his favorite person." there's also the bonus "oh, my family and friends all love me dearly," but the focus is klance here bc all my fics are.
as for the story itself, Keith would immediately notice Lance was missing and try to find him. Lance's parents would probably lie and say he went to visit family for the summer.
Keith would accept this as a "everyone leaves me eventually" thing. and he'll pack up to leave town for the summer. but not seeing Lance one last time is bugging him. and he doesn't go. he thinks: once i get word from him, i'll go.
time passes by and the more he thinks about it, the more he starts to realize that Lance wouldn't just stand him up like that. his fear of abandonment, however, would overpower that thought, and he decides he really will leave for the summer, before he bumps into Hunk and Pidge, and learns that they haven't heard from Lance either. and Keith will revisit that thought that Lance wouldn't just go without saying something to someone. even if not Keith, Hunk and Pidge should have heard from him. he wouldn't ignore them. that's not what he was like. he loved to "annoy" Keith, too. he loved having the last word. so where was he?
so he would revisit Lance's home and ask about Lance only to be told he was in a place with little cell service or something like that. small town, whatever.
only this time, Lance is there, as a cat, and he wants to spend time with Keith so badly, even if he's just a cat.
so he goes out of his way to rub up against Keith's legs, purring the entire time.
Keith isn't a cat person and he's wary of this cat. he steps out of reach and continues to press whoever answered the door for a way to contact Lance.
Lance takes the opportunity to sneak into his backpack (packed with his things in case he decides to leave after all), which Keith left on the floor beside his feet, and had to work very hard to open up wide enough to sneak into.
Keith leaves eventually, discouraged, worried, and maybe a little paranoid bc he doesn't believe Lance's family.
he gets home and startles when he drops his backpack onto his sofa bed and an offended meow comes out of it.
he warily opens it and out comes Lance, shaking himself off and grooming his fur to neaten it up again.
Keith: what the fuck.
Lance: meow
Keith: how did you get into my backpack?
Lance: meow
Keith: okay. get back in it, i'm taking you back.
Lance promptly escapes every attempt Keith makes to catch him.
Keith gives up and sighs heavily, sitting on the couch and staring at the Lance the Cat.
Lance the Cat stares back.
Keith: you know your family is going to miss you right?
Lance: meow
Keith: i'm taking you back. tomorrow. when your guard is lowered.
Lance doesn't mind this. he just wanted to spend some time with Keith. and that night, he takes up Keith's pillow and Keith feels bad about moving him. he allows it. and in the morning, he indeed picks Lance up and makes his way back to Lance's place, Lance purring all along where he's tucked into Keith's jacket. he's never been so close to Keith before and he's delighted.
he's definitely going to be visiting Keith a lot more.
shenanigans will ensue. Lance will learn why Keith is the way he is. he will learn why he keeps getting rejected. and it will conversely make him love Keith all the more.
then Lance changes back. bc Keith is a fucking sap who will definitely start talking to Lance like he's a real person and spill all his secrets, including the fact that he misses Lance and originally felt abandoned by him, but is now really concerned about him. Lance won't be asleep like Keith was in Dog Days. he'll be awake when the penny drops. he'll be wide awake when Keith is adding to his missing mother board and explaining it to Lance. when he tells Lance the Cat that Lance the Person makes it hard for him to want to leave permanently at the end of his school years.
when Keith says, “I want to come back to him,” and realizes Keith's in love with him and has been for a while.
and Keith, who has been suspecting he's losing it bc he keeps seeing Lance in a cat, will see Lance suddenly blink into existence where the cat was, naked as the day he was born, and go, "yeah, that tracks," and while he's still stunned, Lance will kiss him.
or something like that.

Wow, that is... a lot of people.
I suppose I should do some sort of introduction, yes?
Well, my name is Candy! ^w^
I'm a twenty-one-year-old bisexual trans girl from Ohio who's currently going to college in California, and hoping to escape to the Netherlands once I've graduated.
I'm a Creative Writing major and an aspiring author who likes writing in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres. I have a side blog where I'd been posting my stories, but I might just start posting them here instead, since it seems to be getting more attention.
I stream on Twitch, occasionally. I haven't done it in months, but I'd really like to get back into it. I like playing Minecraft (especially hardcore mode), Skyrim, and Satisfactory on stream. You can find me at twitch.tv/candyrocks03 if I ever do get back to it.
I'm a furry, and my fursona's name is Krystal. She's half lion, half rabbit, and she has minor shapeshifting abilities, which allow her to shift between a passive form and an aggressive form. In her passive form, her bunny traits are more prevalent, with plantigrade rabbit's feet, a cotton tail, dull claws and teeth, and rounded pupils. In her aggressive form, her feet shift into the digitigrade paws of a lion, her tail grows out into a lion's whip-like tail, her claws and teeth grow sharper, and her pupils narrow into feline slits. [Below is a ref sheet sketch of Krystal made by my partner, @mudkiprocketship3003]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm also an aspiring artist, and while I'm not very good at it yet, I am trying my best to learn. I've tried making a few things of my own, but they aren't very impressive. Recently, I've been lining and coloring some of Mudd's sketches [Results Below], and I'm pretty happy with how they've come out. I just hope that translates into progressing my own skills
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm gonna add some more art of my 'sona made by my friend, @ochremouse, because he's an amazing artist, and deserves all the attention in the world, so you should definitely go check out his stuff! Maybe consider commissioning him while you're there, too! I promise, you won't be disappointed!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm always happy to meet new people and make new friends (especially with fellow trans peeps and furries), so if you'd ever like to chat or hang out, feel free to message me on Discord! My username is CandyRocks03 there, as it is on all other social media accounts I have. I also have a Discord server if you're looking for a place to play games or watch some movies with a bunch of trans furries. Feel free to join if you're interested!
And I think that's just about all the basic things you'd need to know about me. Aside from writing and art, I'll also just reblog other posts that I think are funny or important for other people to see, so if that's the kind of thing you'd like to see, then welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your stay! ^w^

20 Questions for Writers
I was tagged by @lurkinglurkerwholurks
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 146! It would be a larger number if I hadn't deleted all of my Supernatural fics back in the day. There were at least 30 of those, maybe more...
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
913,163 - I'm hoping to hit a million soon!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Batman, Superman, Justice League, Star Wars, Marvel
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Take Care of Business Everybody Wants You It Was Always You a sky of honey Anything Like Me
5. Do you respond to comments?
Not anymore :/ I have a really hard time keeping up with writing if I'm responding to comments. I hope my readers understand.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hmm. Probably lonely town? Dick is getting de-fibbed in the alley by Bruce, and it's not clear if he's going to survive or not.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
here as I am is hilarious if you're into jealous!Clark. otherwise the weight (salmon ladder fic) always gets me.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yep. Mostly on borderline, but on other fics too. I love how, as I've gotten better at writing, it's changed from "wow this sucks, your writing is awful" to "you suck because you chose to have [character] do this." Luckily I think most of the hate filters over here to Tumblr, where I can happily block and forget. These days, I mostly get people commenting about how I'm wrong about something. Wrong about something I researched and triple checked before posting...
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yep! All of them, I think? At least, I haven't balked at much yet. I'm not really into the excrement related ones, so I think that would be one of my no-go's.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Yep! bloodletting (Mandalorian/Star Wars and DC Crossover) and a few Marvel/DC crossovers.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yep, a few times. What I'm more pissed about is all of my textposts being monetized over on TikTok and IG. I could be making bank off of those, considering the reach. And several of them are basically mini-fics.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! Tons. Check them out here. There's also some podfics and related works there.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really. I've made attempts but I'm really bad at it. I tend to write spur of the moment and follow my gut on where the conversation/action goes. Planning out a fic with a partner would do them a disservice, I think.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
I really love Superbat, but Codywan is right up there with it. Something about Cody being a loyal BAMF soldier and long-suffering big brother gets me.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
My vampire AU. Not because I don't want to continue but I cannot decipher my notes as to what should happen next.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm very quick, I can type up a full draft in a few hours. I like natural, snappy dialogue and I think I'm good at it. I don't shy away from weird or uncomfortable situations. I'm comfortable with writing a lot of sex/etc.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I write too quickly, sometimes I get ahead of my plot. My dialogue and descriptions can sometimes be a little too bare, or I overcorrect and become too flowery. My fics take on the tone of whatever I'm thinking about at that time.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
If you're confident in your language abilities, go for it. If you're just plugging it into google translate, consider why you're doing that first. Is the addition of this new language actually something someone would say in that moment? Or are we just using it to signal to the audience that they speak another language? Is there a way to show this without telling? That being said, I love using Mando'a in my Star Wars fic, and I've studied it for a while now to be able to do so.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Supernatural
20. Favourite fic you've written?
Probably borderline or a sky of honey. Both took a ton out of me and I'm proud they're whole and standing on their own right now.
---
I'll tag anyone who wants to play! Go wild.

Half a year on testosterone: A retrospective
(this post talks bout body parts.. including nsfw/t ones... be warned)
Wow. I can't believe I'm here. I remember being in high school, where being on testosterone felt so far away. It's only been a few years, yet here I am. I feel like this should be a bigger thing, that everything should be totally different, but I'm still much the same man, living much the same life. A far improved life, yes, but still much the same.
This is not a usual update for me, as I thought (jus in time for tdov), I would do a much more detailed update talking about every change I've experienced so far. Everything that's happened to me in these last six moths.
Join me below the cut, will you?
Over all, I can't say my mood has been affected too much. That may be due to bein a chronic depression haver (it's usually medicated, but I ran out recently and am waiting for my insurance to get fixed, hence why this post is late) The reason im feeling generally better is due to being on testosterone, not the testosterone itself. Getting closer to achieving the body I want makes me happier. I did notice I would have random bad days for no reason, where I would just be pissed at everything, in a way I haven't experienced before. All I could think is I used to be so numb before. It's a good thing I'm feeling more, even if that feeling is annoyance.
Thr first things I noticed were my skin, body hair and scent. I have a condition that is triggered by heat, so sweating a lot is something I'm used to. I noticed, in general, I was getting a lot more sweaty more often. This helped me notice my body odor being stronger. This, combined with the changes to my skin, made me need to shower a lot more often.
I can't confirm this one, but I swear my skin is a little... tighter? tougher? Something... About a week in, I just felt itchy, everywhere. It took me a while to realize this was my new body hair growing in! Some of the earliest changes were body hair!
Even before T, I naturally had a lot of thick dark body hair. Especially on my forearms (bullies used to call me monkey or gorilla (which in hindsight sounds kinda racist but I'm white so maybe not? lol?)) Well, I thought I had a lot of body hair before, being on T gave me so much. For a while I was sure that that was all T was doing to me. More, darker, thicker hair on my legs and forearms. NEW body hair on my upper arms, hands, knuckles, belly (cute lil happy trail), back, nipples??? Also between my eyebrows. Then, of course, facial hair (yay). There isn't much, but a few weeks in, I noticed one singular long chin hair (wich later became two) which in hindsight is very funny. As for the rest of my face, very faintly, there is new hair around my ears (side burns?) and at the edge of my upper lip (dirtstache?). ALSO! ASS HAIR!! BRO! WHY did I see no information about this! No one warned me! HOW do cis men, trans woman and intersex people deal with this! You telling me hair grows around your asshole!? Just naturally!?
Body fat redistribution next! About 3/4 months in, I looked down and noticed my legs now line up with my torso! Also I swear my (luckily naturally tiny) bewbs got smaller and my shoulders got wider, but i cant prove that.
Lastly, bottom growth/stuff. Horny talk beyond this point!
I do got a tiny tdick now. I noticed I was a lot hornier early on (just in my unique flavour of asexual), also my fantasies got a lil weirder/more detailed? I'm pretty sure I also smell differently down there now?
That's all folks. See you in 6 months!

Cancel confessing to you
A/n:drf won the poll, even if i think it was just by a vote or two, but anyway, here's the first post to celebrate
Tumblr media
"For the last time I do not have a crush on y/n"
"If you want to lie, then at least try to be convincing"
Cancel scoffed at enigma and opened her eyes
"What even makes you think that?"
"You always blush when you see them, rarely insult or act like you're better than them-"
"Are you insinuate I normally do that to people who aren't y/n?"
"............"
"Tch"
"And you also read their fortune multiple times,for free, with an emphasis on their love life, seems to me like you want to make sure you're-"
"Fine, fine, will you shut up!?"
"So you admit it?"
"I may have a tiny crush on them but why do you care?"
"Cause you're not doing anything about it"
"Hm?"
"Despite what you might think, we're friends, and I don't wanna see you looking melancholically at them like you don't have a chance when you haven't even tried anything"
"What should I do then?"
"Just confess to them"
She glared at him and rolled her eyes
"Wow, thank you, Enigma. I never thought about that"
"It was just an idea"
"Yeah, the most idiotic idea ever. What do you think will happen if they reject me? I'll look like an idiot and never be able to look at them in the eyes again"
"I think they like you too"
"And pray tell how do you know that?"
"I'm their friend too you know?"
"So?"
"..............."
"WAIT, YOU KNEW THEY HAD A CRUSH ON ME THIS WHOLE TIME AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING?"
"They were scared you would start laughing if they found out"
"I would never"
"............"
"At them. Anyway I still feel betrayed, I thought we were supposed to be "friends"
"So we are friends"
"Just shut up I'm going to search for y/n now"
"Good luck"
"Thank you, I suppose"
The diviner got up from the table and went to look for you. She didn't have to wait long as you went up to her with a smile that made her blush
"Hey cancel, I was just looking for you"
"Oh me too, why?"
"I wanted to get my fortune read"
"Hm? Again?"
"Yes, it was so fun last time, and I want to know more I hope you don't mind"
"No, absolutely not, it's my ultimate and....i-i like being with you"
"What was that last part?"
"Nothing now follow me"
She led you to her dorm where she told you to sit on her bed. She turned off the lights and lit a purple candle to set up the mood
"I'll read your palm. Is that alright?"
"Of course"
Cancel sat in front of you and started examining your hand
"So what would you like to know?"
"What my future girlfriend will be like"
"E-eh?"
"Is something wrong? I thought that was a pretty common request"
"I-it is, just......nothing, I'll work on it"
"Great, thank you so much, and sorry if I'm bothering you"
"No don't worry, you could never"
She looked more at your hand and switched her gaze on you after a while
"OK so from what I can see......"
She cleared her throat and shook off a blush before speaking again
"She has.....back hair, pink eyes and....really likes reading and wearing jewelry-"
"Uhm cancel-"
"A-and she would really like to go on a date with you..........m-maybe tomorrow if possible......?"
Cancel blushed even brighter and looked to the side, slightly scared for your answer. You simply started giggling which made her blush even more and look at you with an angry expression
"A-are you mocking me?"
"No, no definitely not, I just thought it was a funny coincidence"
"Hm?"
"Because I'd love to go on a date with that mysterious girl, tomorrow would be great"
"R-really?"
"Definitely, perhaps the library would be good?"
"I- I mean, she would love it. She'll let you know when she's ready"
"Great"
You got up from the bed and kissed cancel on the cheek, causing her to blush again
"I can't wait"
As you left, she touched the cheek you kissed and smiled slightly before gaining her composure
"OK, now I need to see how the date will go....I wonder what kind of tea they like....oh where are my tarots?"

November 1st = New Tina Year! (secret diary entry and upcoming goals)
I'm mainly writing this down so I don't slack off! Cause if I slack off I can look back on this and think, "wow, you failed terribly. dingus."
Ahem.
Anyways, I am in the process of thinking up some new short term goals now that:
2024 con season is over (with the exception of some smaller events)
Spooky Season is almost over (I like posting non-stop spooky stuff during this delightful time)
Twitter is going inside the toilet
Magazine troubles (more on this below)
I have met the famous man whose inspiration played a big role in both: a) getting back into drawing my old OCs after 15+ years (little round glasses are a bad influence), and b) getting brave enough to be on video after saying I would never do this for god knows how long. (secret: I watched a certain music video with one of his characters the morning before I made my own). BUT HE WILL NEVER KNOW ABOUT THIS AND I WILL NEVER TELL! I AM FULL OF CRINGE!!!
This is what I'm thinking at the moment, in terms of my next creative direction. I appreciate any thoughts or advice!!:
My OC art was an absolute flop in terms of gaining new social media followers. Bluesky seems to be a LITTLE bit better, but it's still early to tell and I haven't posted too many of my OCs there yet either. For the time being, though, I plan to get back to my Schoolism subscription assignments since I've been neglecting them for a bit!
good lord I need to flatten my stomach somehow, as I cannot fit into my preferred fashion choices. I quit watching TV for a while in the summer, which helped a bit (I tend to eat everything in the house while I watch), so I may try this again soon.
arm workouts are going alright I guess, I am gaining a bit of muscle in my armes so they do not look so much like noodles.
Tempted to get back into posting video game screenshots and mini-reviews on social media since people really liked this stuff, but I'm worried it might just add more to my plate.
I'm really enjoying doing videos now, I'm just not sure which direction to take them (or if I even should take them places). I tend to film a lot of myself and a long-time friend in the car just saying stupid shit, but I don't really want to post all of these.
I wish to read more books without falling asleep, jesus christ this is tough.
On a similar note: the magazine I used to write book and comic reviews for has SHUT DOWN GOD DAMN IT so maybe I'll write some new stuff here?? Not sure yet!
I need to get back to my Japanese studies!! I used to do them at lunch and dinner but now I get distracted by all the awful political shit online! Aaaaaaaa!! I really hope America doesn't combust in the next few days but I guess we'll find out soon...
Finally, I need to be more active HERE! It's the best place for longform writing and art that might be a bit too "cringe" for the general public. Let's see if I can stick to it!!
I think that's all I have to SAY for NOW. Wish me luck in sticking to my goals instead of spiralling into ADHD Twitter nonsense, aaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Episode 30: Examination (Part 2, long)
Tumblr media
Michael took another deep breath and then went through the door through which Peter had come out a few seconds ago. The Dr. greeted him with a friendly smile and introduced himself again. "I'm Dr. Nick Valentino, please have a seat. Or would you prefer to stand still?“/ ”Um, no, I'll sit down," Michael said with a somewhat forced smile. Then he closed the door and sat down.
Tumblr media
Michael sat down on the armchair in front of the doctor's table. "Let's start off in a relaxed manner, shall we? Since we don't have a file from you here yet, let's go through everything together. “/ “What do you want to know?”/ “Well, name, age… origin maybe?”/ “Michael, 20… Sunset Valley”/ “mhm, ok….”.
Tumblr media
Still a little hesitant, Michael then began to talk a little. “no… it's not o.k…. The town no longer exists…”/ “I… heard about it, yes.”/ “actually, I'm lucky I get to sit here, aren't I?” said Michael nervously, rubbing his hands over his thighs. “Sure… do you need a glass of water?”/ “No…hh”.
Tumblr media
“I'm only asking because I can see that you have a few beads of sweat on your forehead and you're breathing a little hard”/ “wow…you always notice things quickly…”/ “I'm a doctor, I observe.”. Michael nodded and looked down briefly. “Well, while I'm here… I'm… I haven't been feeling well lately”/ “OK, can you be more specific?”
Tumblr media
While Michael tried as best he could to explain his problems to the doctor, Peter sat with a cup of coffee on one of the chairs at the registration desk. Actually, only the staff are allowed to be in this area. But no one was there… “Tastes really shit”.
Tumblr media
Well, what can you expect from a hot drink that's so thin you can already see the bottom? Peter knew that the conversation would take a little longer. But he also wondered whether Michael would be able to open up to the doctor. …
Tumblr media
Michael told Dr. Valentino about his shortness of breath at night, which often woke him from his sleep. About the dreams that triggered it all. “Were you under psychological care after the events back then?” Michael looked at him and shook his head. "No, I refused it. Why do you ask?".
Tumblr media
The doctor leaned back for a moment. “Well, the way you described it all to me, the bad dreams, the panic you feel… I'm no expert, but that sounds like post-traumatic stress disorder to me”. These were words that Michael always had in the back of his mind, but never really took seriously. his answer was correspondingly indifferent. “aha, o.k….”/ “You think a lot, don't you?”/ “Every day… And not a little,” he said honestly. “mhm.”
Tumblr media
The room was silent for a moment. Then Michael took a quick breath. “So you think I need a psychologist to stop having nightmares, huh?”. Dr Valentino looked at him with a slight smile. "I know that sounds terrible at first, being told that you should see a psychologist. But it might help you to deal with your traumas better“/ ”hh, and my exhaustion, what about that?".
Tumblr media
“You told me that these conditions usually occur after prolonged physical exertion, like sport, gardening… Right?”/ ‘mhm’/ "Well, I don't think it's psychological. But rather something medical. Is it okay if I check it out?“/ ”um, okay". That was the moment Michael had been dreading all along. That the doctor would say that something was wrong, but now there was no turning back. Michael has a sensitive core that was severely challenged at this moment.
Tumblr media
Dr. Valentino fetched the stethoscope that was lying on the cupboard and then sat down in his chair directly in front of Michael. He looked at him a little uncertainly. “Do I have to… take off my shirt?”/ “hn, no, I'll hear enough”. Then he slowly moved the instrument over his chest and listened. “Mhm, the lungs sound good, well ventilated on both sides…”.
Tumblr media
Then he paused a little longer at one point. Michael watched him, looked at his face and noticed that he furrowed his eyebrows slightly. “Is… everything okay?”/ "shh… hm, mhm. There's a noise that doesn't necessarily belong there“/ ”Is something wrong with my heart?“/ ”I want to get that checked out properly first. I'll tell you right away, don't panic"
Tumblr media
The doctor put his stethoscope aside again and then looked into Michael's worried face. "As I said, don't panic, okay? The noise I could hear there is typical of a heart valve that is not completely intact. “/ ”oh man, please don't tell me I need a new heart?". The Dr. quickly shook his head with a smile. “No, no, it's not that bad”.
Tumblr media
“But there's something wrong with my heart, you say”/ "as I said, this noise is typical of the fact that the heart valve is apparently no longer working properly, it's not closing properly. That's why not enough oxygen is being pumped into the right pathways. And that's why you get exhausted again quickly even after a little more effort".
Tumblr media
Michael was almost a little overwhelmed by the situation. "So… what does that mean now? Do i need an operation?“/ ”If you want to live a while longer and don't want to collapse after the slightest activity, then yes. I'll refer you to one of the cardiologists in the main building and ask for an appointment there. Is that okay for you?".
Tumblr media
"Another doctor again, oh boy. Can't you…“/ ”What, operate you? I'm not a cardiologist, hnhn“/ ”hh,,, sure. And what exactly do they do? Do they have to cut everything open?“/ ”Oh God, no, these days they even perform minimally invasive heart surgery. You just get a new heart valve, for them it's like changing a tire on a car"
Tumblr media
“Tire change, hn, you say that so casually”/ "well, it's a routine thing for the heart specialists these days. I'm sure you'll feel better after the operation. But first you have to present yourself there. As I said, I'll make an appointment for you and please go there, okay?“/ ”My boyfriend was right, you're really good. Yes, okay".

Bad Buddy Ep 10
My thoughts on Ep 1 | Ep 2 | Ep 3 | Ep 4 | Ep 5 | Ep 6 | Ep 7 | Ep 8 | Ep 9
Me, at the end of this episode:
Tumblr media
This is what I'm talking about!!!
Now, I'm no conspiracy theorist, but the way Pat getting shot was so inconsequential to the plot makes me put on a tin foil hat and theorize that they knew exactly what they were doing with Ep 9. They knew that nothing sustains a fandom more than having something to hate on together, and that was what Pat getting shot was about. It is to ensure the longevity of the BB fandom. So, in a roundabout way, Pat got shot for us!!!
Here are my thoughts on this episode:
Okay, I see you, Pat. Look at you trying to soft launch your relationship with Pran to your parents by telling them that he helped you in a sticky situation.
Wow, Pat's father thanked Pran. I'm sure Pran never imagined that he would live to see this day. I know I haven't.
Why isn't Pat's dad asking him for more details about the case though? I don't know, man; they seem too nonchalant about this whole getting shot and almost getting charged thing for my liking.
You know what? I wonder if the parents had found out about Pran saving Pa's life when they were kids; maybe their rivalry would've been long over.
You heard it here first: the reason for Pat getting shot is for them to get a shot at their relationship.
"Your dad might warm up to me and hand me his son." STHAP IT!!!
I know I've mentioned it before, but Pat's being so brazen right now with pinching Pran's cheeks in broad daylight where anyone could see. IN FRONT OF THE TRASH CANS. Remember when they used to fight at the exact spot? Yeah.
Okay, what is your new password, Pran? I want to know.
Are you telling Pran, my beloved, who loves order and structure in his life, is so forgetful? Headcanon time—Pran just wanted Pat to visit his faculty because he wanted to show off his adorable puppy boyfriend from the rival faculty.
See, Wai and friends have accepted Pat as a part of Pran's life from now on. Compare it with the last time Pat came to his faculty to give the thumb drive—Pran had to hide Pat behind a wall so that his friends wouldn't catch Pat and beat the shit out of him. Now, they are personally delivering Pat to Pran on a nice platter.
Something about Pran just being at the top of the stairs looking at Pat with hearts in his eyes, while his boyfriend is professing his undying love for him from the bottom of the stairs for anyone to hear, is just AAAHHHHHH
Remember when Pat did the same previously but under the guise of auditioning for the play? Yeah, me too. For my boys to have this, out in the open ❤️
Guys, you don't understand. Pran never thought he could have this. He never even dreamt of having this!!
Pran's new password is "Praninlove." Now, what should I do with that information??
Pran is now egging him on, a total 180 from him asking Pat to not post anything that could lead to others suspecting their relationship status.
Well, Pat is never one to back down from a challenge. So, my boy delivers.
What do you mean they are meeting in the MIDDLE of the staircase? The fucking symbolism of it all.
Post confession handbumps, my beloved!! Hope that there is a compilation of all their handbumps somewhere on this website.
Well, I know that Wai said he has a crush on Pa. But how about I present you Korn? He'd be good for you. Now that they're not fighting anymore, they'll need an excuse to touch each other, so why not date along the way? We've seen Pat embrace his bisexuality. Me thinks it's Wai's turn now.
Pat, don't think I haven't noticed you casually draping your hand on your boyfriend's shoulder in the canteen before your friends. I see you, and it's bringing me immense joy.
Ink's got Pa having gay thoughts. I'm sure she's wondering if Ink sees her as more than just a junior to look after.
Man, I gotta be honest, it took me a second to comprehend why Pran is in the hospital. In case anyone forgot, let me take it upon myself to remind you that PAT GOT SHOT in the previous episode 🤦.
It's already healed. These are not serious people at all. Now that we are on this subject, when Pat, Pran, Korn, and Wai were hanging out together, there was no mention of the shooting or the investigation or anything that happened.
I don't know, man; if something like that happened in my friend group, we would be talking about it for months to come.
Okay, the guy who works for Pran's dad spotted them in the hospital. Isn't it the same guy they were hiding from in the music store at the mall to avoid being spotted together? Oh, how the times have changed!
Yes, he is, and he saw it all. Well, PAT'S VERY ASIAN DAD LIED TO HIM ABOUT FAMILY LORE?! I'm shooketh. Never heard of that happening before.
Oh, Pat, my precious, sounding so naive with the "So, we've been misunderstanding each other all along?"
Well, the parents knew everything but still hate each other. Oh, it's not just business. What could it be?
Aww," I think, one day, things will be better."
Pa is having a gay crisis and asking her brother for advice. I love how Pat is genuinely happy that someone might be interested in his sister. None of that toxic, "You're my younger sister, and here's your chastity belt" bullshit from my boy.
Pa is definitely her brother's sister. Pran, sweetheart, are you being Wai's wingman for him to hit on Pa? I hope you see it with your eyes, bestie, that Ink's got Pa covered.
Well, Wai, they do say that the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. So, Pran, being the best friend he is, can shove Wai in Korn's direction if he cares to.
Pat, did you just go to your professor, who also happens to be your father's friend, for family lore? King shit!!
What are these parents hiding? Did their dads have gay thoughts about each other and act upon them???!!!
Oh, it's not the dads. Something happened between Pat's dad and Pran's mom.
They are visiting their old high school to know more about their parents' shared history and reminiscing about their own.
Now, some people might've overlooked the detail that Pat is carrying his boyfriend's bag, but not me.
I'm just over here losing it at Pran's face when the teacher asked, Why are you two legendary rivals here together?
But Pat's the one who confirms that they're together. Gotta hand it to these two; they'll let the whole world know before their parents get even a whiff of their relationship.
I recognize baby gays when I see them. Am I going to get to see Pran serenade Pat?
Yes, dreams do come true!!
"Your mom and his dad were close friends. They were always together." 💀
Pat's reaction after finding out that his sister has a chance with his ex-crush is to say, "I'm hot too, but I failed." 😂😂 I just love Pat and Pa.
Pa🤝 Pran finding out that they know the person who gave them snacks by cross-checking their handwriting.
You know what I'm being deprived of? Pran and Pa together. Give it to me!!!
I have to hand it to Ink - developing film together is a very clever way to get your crush into a dimly lit room with you.
Pa, my beloved, are you thinking that Ink is being nice to you because she's your peer mentor? Awww.
Wait a second, Ink fought with everyone to become Pa's peer mentor. I knew it!! I had her number when she remembered that Pa liked shrimp while they were at the restaurant together.
To recall such a detail about your classmate's sister, whom you haven't seen in three years, is just so AHHHH. That's yearning, babygirl. SINCE HIGH SCHOOL.
Well, now that you mention it, Pat, it would be really funny if you guys were half-siblings. Thailand wouldn't go there, but I know that Taiwan will. Is this my way of putting the idea of a Taiwanese version of Bad Buddy into the universe? Yes!!
Oh no! Pat's parents saw him tickling Pran in the mall.
Okay, Pat's dad SHOVED Pran!!! I'm trying to find empathy for Pat's dad, but it's just so hard when he hurts Pran like that.
Is it because Pran is proof that the girl he once loved isn't with him anymore? Even if it is, sir, it has been over two decades, and hating on a child just for existing is plain monstrous.
I hope you reflect on your actions and APOLOGIZE to my boy.
Well, if there's one thing Asian parents hate, it is having their kids talk back to them in public. But, apparently we are doing it in the mall. WE ARE BOYFRIENDS!!!!
My heart is hurting for Pat!! Such a brave, brave boy. So, Pat's mom put a stop to it.
Pran sent Pat after his patents to clear things up. Both my boys are hurting. 😭😭
I love the little detail of Pran carrying the GUITAR (the thing she forbade him from playing) with him when his mom confronts him about his relationship with Pat (the person she forbade him from being associated with).
"Is it even my job to be responsible for your feelings?" Pran SNAPPED, and it is glorious to witness.
Oh, the classic slapping your son to keep him in line. Always works, right? RIGHT??!
So the truth comes out. Ming, Pat's dad, stole Pran's mom's scholarship.
"You're not the only person who wants to make his dad proud." Call back to the time when Pat mentioned to Pran that he hasn't seen the look of disappointment in his eyes before when he learnt about Pat skipping rugby practice.
"If you only wished to run a family business, why did you take my scholarship?" - Why would you do that, Ming?
We are back on the rooftop!!! Oh no, Pran is crying.
Thank God Pat is there to cheer up his boyfriend.
Boys, I'm going to need y'all to provide some clarity on the whole "Let's get away from here." Are we talking about a getaway? To escape from reality for a bit? If so, then I'm on board.
The parallels between playing the guitar and loving Pat in relation to Pran are very interesting; his mom forbade him from doing both without ever giving him a concrete reason. He left them both at the same time, i.e., at the Christmas performance at school. Pat ran after Pran with the guitar on the same day. But Pat kept the guitar with him for 3 years and returned it ( & himself) to Pran. Now, wouldn't it be something if Pat's dad used to play the guitar and that's why Pran's mom doesn't want him to anymore? It would be rather ironic because Pat is the one who gave the guitar back to Pran.
Now that everything's out there in the open, I have a lot of thoughts about the rivalry. But I'm short on time today. So, hopefully, I'll get to piece something together in the next episode liveblog post.

Watching thru Star Trek Voyager for the first time. Do you like this series if so, favorite episode?
Posting my full thoughts below a read more because spoilers. But it's a mixed bag at best, favorite episode the two-parter Scorpion.
It's biggest issue is that it refuses to abide by its central concept: a Starfleet vessel lost 70,000 lightyears from home with few resources and in a place the Federation have never been to, made up of a mixed crew of both Starfleet and the Maquis - a rogue terrorist organization set on freedom from Cardassian oppression due to shitty treaties the Federation made in the name of peace.
Voyager goes for seven years and you would think with a premise like this, the ship should be a WRECK by the time it gets home - barely held together with duct tape, flickering lights and debris in spots because there just isn't time or necessity to deal with minor stuff like that when there are bigger concerns to deal with. You'd think the crew has gotten more lax, dirtier or with more rolled up sleeves and casualwear as the situation has made them less of a formal structure like a regular Starfleet vessel and more like a found family, maybe with a ton of alien crewmembers from the Delta Quadrant who have decided to join Voyager along the way because they (and the Federation by proxy) have offered something that wasn't present in their corner of the galaxy, something better and they want to join the mission back home. You'd think the ship itself would have changed in appearance as they've had to patch it with technology and because they don't have regular drydocks to replace lost/damaged systems and bulkheads. Sure, Star Trek has replicator technology, but I can't imagine Voyager has MASSIVE replication technology capable of creating HUGE swaths of the hull. At the very least, you'd think you'd see cracks in the hull hastily sealed up - maybe a kind of Kintsugi thing where the cracks are a different color because of special alien material used to keep it strong. You'd think those Maquis crewmembers, despite being former Starfleet, wouldn't be wearing Starfleet uniforms because why would they? They're here because they're stuck and what's Starfleet going to do if they haven't shined their boots? Throw them all in the brig for however long it takes to get home? More interpersonal conflicts between crewmen as they have to find a way to live together, have different approaches to solving problems, maybe deal with the crippling loneliness and despair that comes with thinking you may never make it home (either because of the dangers of space travel or just because it'll be 70 years on our current technology to get there).
But no. Nothing like that ever happens in Voyager.
Because it followed the pattern that had made Star Trek TNG so successful (despite it having a premise that DEMANDS more serialization), every episode the reset button is pressed. The ship is restored to normal, character development is rare or confined to a single episode. The few attempts at serialization are just… badly written (or just met with a shrug), which probably explains why they mostly dropped it in later seasons. You'd be forgiven for watching the first episode and then the last while thinking "Wow, not much changed except for Janeway's hairstyle."
Oh, but there WAS change… just not very much. A new cast member to replace one leaving… and a character brought on to be the breakout character - one of the few times we brought on new crew from this part of the galaxy - was shuffled away the episode beforehand because inexplicably some of his people were farther out than they ever should have been and he decided to stay with them because he met them for a few days. A romance between cast members that… was okay, but not great. Another romance introduced at the last second because they needed one of their characters to actually DO something because they had spent 7 years inventing boring hobbies and interests for him separate from his identity as fake-90s-Native American-whose-entire-culture-was-thought-up-by-a-fraud-who-tricked-Hollywood-into-thinking-he-knew-what-he-was-talking-about.
A lot of plots could have happened on any other Trek show. A lot of plots dealt with "Hey, maybe we'll get home THIS time!" and they of course would not. They invented a whole new way of propulsion that allowed you to be in every spot in the universe at once (and easily reversed the negative side effects by the end of the episode)… aaand then just pretended it never happened. The recurring villain enemies ranged from godawful to okay, but not fully realized.
Behind the scenes it was often full of office politics before actual quality. Whenever an episode needed some padding? Add technobabble. Have an ambitious idea for an episode? Nope, we're not interested in anything challenging. Do anything that might make the characters look bad or have more shades to them? Noooope. There were plans and ideas, things thrown out like, for instance, a year-long storyline where the ship would get as battered as I suggested… and it was shot down, turned into a two-parter with the reset button pushed hard at the end of it.
There's plenty to like about Voyager. Some really do love the characters and I like a lot of them, too. And there are plenty of episodes that I recommend and really enjoy and rewatch… but it's mostly wasted potential. It's telling that Ron Moore, who joined Voyager's writing staff after Deep Space 9 ended because he wanted to keep doing Star Trek, left after only 3 episodes… and went on to make the Battlestar Galactica remake, which for all its flaws did the Voyager concept considerably better and with all of those ideas I mentioned up top concerning the crew, the damage to the ship, the shades of grey, the hopelesness at times but still hope, etc.

just talking to the void here, but..
oh wow i really haven't posted art since 2023 thats crazy... its not like i stopped making art, just lost motivation to finish anything WOW. getting back into undertale rlly brought back my passion to create!! thats years of pent-up wanting to do something creative with these guys but repressing it!!!!
i mean, i even have fic wips in my notes rn!! its nice writing things again, I haven't in a long while. maybe I'll post them for once? :)) Hell I'm even animating at 12fps! the real challenge is if it escapes my wips or not. I'm gonna take it slow though, I don't wanna burn myself out by working on the same thing repeatedly, I know how I am >.> I always need new stuff to work on
life update stuff under cut
genuinely was in a horrible slump, am i still in it? perchance. but undertale really brought me back into wanting to live i guess. a few months ago i replayed and went for a neutral run, yk the usual one most ppl get. anyways they kept saying stuff directed at frisk on how they should keep living their life, and not to give up and it just got to me??? like really badly???? like for the first time in years, i felt an ounce of a bittersweet tears well up in my eyes instead of the same numbness I've been dealing with for so horribly long.
and then I'm reminded, how undertale came out when that small little kid needed it most. i guess i lost it along the way, my memory tends to be..not so good, but this time I'll hold on a little harder.
I'm hoping I really do stay determined and get through this, even if I am still scared about the state of my life right now. Even if it hurts my body to get up, I have to care for it.
I really want to keep creating and seeing what people create. So if I can keep living for longer... that'd be nice

The Bad Guys Season 2: The Baddest Trip (chapter 5) - The Bahamas
Previous Next
Previously on The Bad Guys: The Baddest Trip...
Ms Tarantula: You're right, Piranha, Barcelona is a beautiful city.
?: Worried that you might get lost?
Mr. Piranha: Hermanos,this is Fuchsia. She was a good friend of mine since I was a kid back in my old town.
Fuchsia: "Pepe, why didn't you want to tell your friends about us?"
Mr. Piranha: About what?"
Fuchsia: You know that your dad arranged for us to be married once we grow up?
Mr. Hornet: You were arranged to get married to her?
Fuchsia: Here's the thing; Once I find you again, I won't go easy on you this time.
Mr. Snake: Whatever happened in Spain stays in Spain.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Bahamas
Wolf was flying the jet and yawned as if he looked so tired. He always piloted the jet because he's the leader. He was good at driving the car, so he had to pilot the plane while his friends did most of the work. Meanwhile, at the cabin, Snake tried to use Instagram to post photos of himself and his friends on the trips they had been on. When he posted the latest one, he got likes from Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, Hornet, and Mira, but he noticed Wolf didn't leave a like. Snake understood that Wolf was piloting the jet, but he noticed that Wolf had been distant from him lately. They weren't as close as they used to be anymore.
"Hey Wolf, you didn't like my post on Instagram," Snake called.
"Don't worry, I'll get to it later," Wolf replied, but Snake knew it was a lie because Wolf had already said it several times when Snake made new posts. When Wolf noticed Snake was silent sadly, he didn't mean to ignore Snake, but he thought of an idea to cheer him up, "Hey Snake, check this out!" Wolf stirred the wheel, making the jet roll in mid-air. The Bad Guys screamed when the jet rolled as some objects fell on the floor and created a mess before Wolf got the jet back in its place.
Wolf had fun with it, but Snake didn't, as he was mad at his friend for it. "ARE YOU CRAZY?! You've always gotten us all killed!"
"You know I won't do that," Wolf said confidently.
"Says the guy who thinks of us as baggage."
"Are you still mad about it?!"
Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet grew tired of Wolf and Snake arguing at each other. They tried to find another cabin, but their voices were still heard from the front cabin and the cockpit.
Shark had been covering his ears as he couldn't stand all that yelling. "How long have they been like this?"
"4 days, and I don't want to tell them anything about what I think," Tarantula answered while her eyes were glued to the screen.
Hornet groaned, "Ugh, they need to stop this. It's like they're not friends."
"What would we do?" Piranha asked.
Just then, while Tarantula was typing on her laptop, she stumbled on a flashing ad and opened it. She read the website and gasped, "Hey, I've got an idea! Check this out!" She turned her laptop so Shark, Piranha, and Hornet could see it. They beamed as they liked what Tarantula found.
"Wow, and it's in the Bahamas! Great idea, Webs!" Hornet commented before flying towards the cockpit. Snake was already near the cockpit, so he wanted to tell both him and Wolf, "Hey guys, what do you say we should go to the Bahamas?"
"The Bahamas?! Why?" Snake asked suspiciously.
Hornet didn't want to expose the real reason to take a vacation to the Bahamas, or neither Wolf nor Snake would agree to this, "Well, we do want a beach vacation, and so far, we haven't had one since the first time when we stole the jet."
"Well, Hornet was right," Wolf spoke. "Maybe a little beach vacation would cheer us all up."
"I just hope it does. I do need something to make me smile," Snake said.
"You never smile."
Wolf's words were insulting for Snake as he frowned but decided to let it slide for now.
-----------------------------------------------------------
When they landed the jet in the Bahamas, they made sure they had it hidden on an island where no one would see it. The Bad Guys took a boat to find the island where the private resort that Tarantula found was located. The boat made its stop at the dock. The gang got off the boat while bringing their luggage.
"Oh, stinger, this place is gorgeous," Hornet admired the place.
"Yeah, I can't wait to puke up a club sandwich in the pool," Snake added excitedly.
Just then, a man, who might be their tour guide, met them at the dock and welcomed them with polite greetings, "Hello, tourists. My name is Reynald, and welcome to Better Paradise," he snapped his fingers, signaling the staff to carry the Bad Guys' bags for them to the resort.
"Something about stepping onto a beach that is in a different country. It's very peaceful." Wolf exhaled delightfully.
Reynald guided the Bad Guys into the resort at the front desk.
"We have a special beach barbecue planned for you tonight, but in the meantime, please enjoy all our relaxing services," he declared.
"We will!" Tarantula said, turning to Hornet, "Come on, Hornet, let's go sit at the poolside chairs and feel too reluctant to move when people try to sit on us because we're so small."
"Yeah, I'm gonna hit the pool soon myself. Got to let the lifeguard know he better keep an eye on me," Piranha stated.
Later, Piranha was at the edge of the pool, where he slowly pushed a large plant vase into the pool, and the lifeguard noticed him.
"I'm here a whole week, papa," he smirked.
-----------------------------------------------------------
At night, the Bad Guys went to the beach to attend the Beach Barbeque that was scheduled for them.
"Ugh! I hate barbecue," Hornet gagged, "You know no one appreciates having vegetables on barbecue."
"You know, Hornet, they serve vegan kabob here too," Shark declared.
"Really? I'm in!" Hornet exclaimed as he zoomed in, wanting to get some vegan kabobs.
Just then, Snake appeared with two swim rings, and he looked all red.
Wolf turned around and observed what Snake was now. "Uh, Snake, I don't think you can go to dinner in your swim rings. And what the hell happened to you?"
"I fell asleep on the beach," Snake admitted.
"Yeah, I think you better change."
"Fine."
Snake removed his swim rings and wore his usual Hawaiian shirt.
The Bad Guys then entered the dining area of the beach where Reynald was waiting for them. Hornet caught up while holding and eating a vegan kabob.
"Welcome, everyone. I hope you enjoyed your afternoon, but now it's time to get to work," Reynald announced.
"On the rippin' and the tearin'?" Wolf chuckled with a sly look.
"Even better. We're going to work on your relationships. After all, this isn't just a vacation, it's a friendship counseling retreat," Reynald declared, revealing himself to be a counselor.
Wolf and Snake were the only ones who were surprised by this, as Shark, Piranha, Tarantula and Hornet already knew. The website Tarantula found was a friendship counseling retreat, and the four agreed that this was what Wolf and Snake needed. Tarantula already booked a reservation, which was what led them here now.
"Oh, what the heck?!" Snake yelled angrily.
"Sorry, Wolfie, Snakey. We had to trick you guys, or you wouldn't have come," Tarantula confessed.
Wolf harshly threw his glass of lemonade on the sand, "No. You can't make me. I'll get hit with a coconut, so I lose my memory of this," He shook a coconut tree, and a coconut fell on his head. Instead of having amnesia, he only had most of his memories that he wanted to forget. "Aah! I remember everything! I was abused in prison!"
After recovering from the coconut fall, Wolf scolded Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet for lying to them about this vacation idea, "Guys, I can't believe you tricked us into coming on a friendship counseling retreat!"
"Yeah, I do not like being lied to!" Snake added that he was as pissed as Wolf.
"Sorry, guys, but you two were always at each other's throats for a while, and we couldn't take it!" Piranha confessed.
"It sounded like you two weren't friends, so we decided you need counseling to fix this," Tarantula explained.
"Trust me, you won't regret this. I'll see you all in the morning for our first session," Reynald said as he walked off.
"Sheesh, friendship counseling? This is the worst thing that's ever happened to anyone," Wolf said before turning around and seeing one of the staff had a missing leg, missing eye, and looked beat up, "He gets it."
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, the Bad Guys gathered on the beach, where they were paired by 2s as closest friends. Wolf and snake were obviously paired with each other. Due to their closeness as brothers, Shark and Piranha were paired. As they were the only 2 members who weren't paired with someone yet, Tarantula and Hornet were paired with each other.
"All right, our first counseling exercise will be speaking to each other with 'I feel' statements," Reynald instructed as he turned to Snake. "Mr. Snake, please begin."
Snake sighed and spoke, "I feel unappreciated, like you don't want to spend time with me."
"Okay, I feel like I might be getting fleas," Wolf answered.
"I feel like you should take me seriously because I'm a little guy," Piranha commented.
"I feel like wanting shrimp," Shark said before calling out, "Do you have any more shrimp?!"
"I feel like I have a sunburn on my thorax," Tarantula mentioned.
"I feel hot because it's so hot outside!" Hornet stared at the sun while shading his eyes with his hand.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later, back inside the resort, Reynald gathered the pairs for another part of the session.
"Okay, for our next exercise, let's play The Buddywed Game," the counselor chuckled. "Relax, it's just a questionnaire."
Hornet laughed at this joke, but Snake glared at him, "Really?"
"Whatever. I like liking things," the bug admitted, crossing his arms.
Reynald began by asking Wolf a question, "Mr. Wolf, When was the first time you and Snake first became friends?"
"Uh, let's see, when did Kennedy become president?" Wolf asked.
"November 22, 1963," Reynald replied.
"Wow. Okay, Reynald. Yikes."
The counselor then moved to Shark, "Mr. Shark, what is Piranha's favorite hobby?"
"Well, I think it's playing with fireworks because I am always finding soot patterns on my outfits." Shark responded.
Reynald then asked Hornet, "Mr. Hornet, what was the first thing you built from Ms. Tarantula?"
Hornet replied confidently, "A pipe… Oh, sorry, what was the question?"
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, the Bad Guys were gathered back at the beach under a hut, and Reynald came to announce what he had found from the results.
"Okay, last night I did some personality assessments based on yesterday's session, and what I found was none of you couples are compatible with each other at all," the counselor said, "But, interestingly, you have high compatibility with other people in this group."
"Oh, my gosh. That is crazy," Shark pretended to care before revealing he was getting food from the buffet table as he told the staff member, "More mac and cheese. Here, just keep it going. Keep it going... don't be afraid of the burned edges. Just give me the tray." He put his plate aside and grabbed the whole tray of mac and cheese before meeting back with the others. "Wait, so what happened?"
"Anyway, I'd like to do an exercise. Just for the morning, you'll all be paired with your more compatible match. And hopefully, you'll bring some lessons back from that experience into your friendships with your close friends," Reynald suggested as he pulled out a card with a list of new pairings. "Okay, so the new pair of friends are as follows: Mr. Snake and Mr. Piranha."
"Huh, that's surprising," Snake admitted as he and Piranha couldn't see how they were compatible friends.
"Mr. Wolf and Ms. Tarantula."
Wolf and Tarantula looked at each other and were also confused about what was so compatible about them.
"Mr. Shark and Mr. Hornet."
Shark and Hornet gave each other a high-five, knowing what they had in common.
"Yay! I win friendship counseling!" Shark cheered.
-----------------------------------------------------------
With that, the Bad Guys, now in their new pairs, split up to enjoy some fun in the sun and spend time together. By the pool, Wolf and Webs were sitting on the pool chairs, the umbrellas opened so they had some nice, cool shade while being under the sun. Wolf smiled in contentment, one arm rested under his head, while on the other chair, Webs appeared just as relaxed, a pair of sunglasses over her eyes, as it looked like the pair were just simply relaxing.
But in reality, both Wolf and Webs were looking down at their electronic devices, Webs currently typing away furiously at her laptop while Wolf was using his free hand to tap away at his phone, the two of them currently playing a racing game. Webs was racing with a blue car, and Wolf was racing with a black car, the pair neck and neck, trying to outdrive one another.
Meanwhile, over on the beach, Hornet and Shark were trying to think of something to do together. And it didn't take long for them to decide on something that seemed to fit both their interests: making a sand fort! With that, Shark and Hornet got straight to work on building their sand fort. Shark got a bucket and repeatedly scooped up wet, but not soggy, sand and tossed it over his shoulder, making a large mound. Once the mound was big enough, Hornet and Shark got to work on molding the fort into a sturdy shape, making the walls and windows of the fort and putting sticks up as added poles on the tips of the fort as well.
Hornet picked up a seashell, using it to decorate the wall of the fort, and repeatedly picked up small shells on the sand to place on the wall when he saw Shark grab an old ship's sail and tie it around his neck and place a stone that looked like it was a crown on top of his head. Hornet thought that Shark looked silly dressed as a king for their little "fort," but when he felt Shark place a small seashell on top of his head, which was his supposed "knight's helmet," Hornet smirked a bit, finding some fun in the little disguise, as they continued to make their fort.
Over by the tide pools, Piranha and Snake were on a little exploration journey, having fun looking into the little water and finding what lay underneath... Well, Piranha was having fun; Snake, on the other hand, found this to be very boring.
Piranha was looking into a very big tide pool and saw a flock of little tiny fish swimming around, a sea star moving along the sand, and a crab buried under a rock that clapped its tiny claws. Piranha gestured for Snake to come and look too.
Snake rolled his eyes and slithered over to the tidepool to see, looking very disinterested at the sea creatures inside. Personally, Snake thought that it'd be more fun to look for any valuable treasures in the tide pools, maybe a piece of gold that he could keep as a keepsake. But little did Snake know that a lobster was crawling out from another tidepool behind the dune, and the lobster pinched Snake's tail. Snake felt something pinch his tail and looked down, seeing the lobster that was grabbing onto his tail. Snake screamed silently in pain, waving his tail vigorously to try and pry it off while Piranha ran after Snake, trying to get Snake to calm down so he could help get the lobster off.
When the Bad Guys were having lunch, Snake, Shark, Piranha, and Hornet were eating together while Wolf and Tarantula just arrived while talking to each other.
"I can't believe I almost climbed up a tree when I saw a crab when I thought it was a spider," Wolf said.
Tarantula felt offended by this, "Hey! We arachnids and crustaceans aren't the same."
"Hey Webs, for a hundred bucks, I'll pay you to tune up my car in under 5 minutes, and for 200, I'll pay you to fix the lighting in under 10."
Snake was listening to Wolf and Tarantula's conversation and observed how he offended Tarantula as he threw the napkin and shouted angrily, "All right, that's enough! I have had it, Wolf!"
Reynald then came in and asked calmly, "So, how are the new pairings working out? Are you all gaining lots of insights?"
"No! I can see now that coming here was a huge mistake!" Snake yelled before pointing his tail at Wolf, "You're hopeless, Wolf!"
"Me? What did I do?!" Wolf questioned obliviously.
"You know what you did," Snake snarled. "For days since we had this vacation, you're nothing but just a team leader to me, to all of us! You were supposed to be fun and caring for us, but all you did was do what you do best: being just a leader, and you take us for granted, just like what happened last year!"
But Wolf didn't listen and understand Snake's scolding as he teased him to bite back, "You have a piece of dead skin." It wasn't a good punchline.
"This retreat is over! Fire up the boat! We're leaving!" Snake berated.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Later, the Bad Guys had already packed their bags and walked down the docks, heading to the boat.
"Mr. Snake, please, I urge you to finish the program," Reynald pleaded.
"No, thank you. I never should've agreed to come here. Or at least not with him," Snake snapped while glaring sharply at Wolf.
"Is there anything I can do to change—?" Before the counselor could finish, he was shot a couple of times as he bled out and fell into the water.
"AAHHH!" The Bad Guys screamed in horror at what they witnessed. They turned around to see who shot the counselor. They saw the staff carrying guns, revealing they were the ones who shot Reynald.
"Ay caramba!" Piranha yelled in fear.
"We're taking this island back!" One of the staff members, who was the leader of the group, declared.
"Yeah! Rise of the tropical species!" Shark wanted to join in just to save his own life, but the leader beat him in the stomach with the other end of the gun, "Nevermind."
When the boat operator shot guns into the air, it was a sign that the group was going to kill them.
"Run! Everybody run!" Snake cried out.
The Bad Guys shoved most of the group as they ran from the dock and rushed across the beach.
The enemy shot them with guns as the Bad Guys tried to dodge the bullets. They hid behind the large rock for protection and saw their boat, which was their only way out of the island, blown into pieces.
"What the thorax is happening?!" Tarantula shrieked.
"Somebody do something!" Hornet cried.
Just then, there was an approaching plane just right above them as Shark heard its engine buzzing.
"Look! We've got to get the attention of that plane!" Shark took out his flare gun and fired it up to get the plane's attention for help.
Unfortunately, the flare hit directly at the plane, causing it to go down in flames and explode. The plane debris fell down at the Bad Guys. Luckily, no one got hurt, but the pilot of the plane fell in front of them, injured and possibly dead. Shark shook the pilot and bellowed, "You gotta help us!"
After realizing the pilot was dead, the Bad Guys took a glance at the Bahamian rebels, who were trying to look for them.
"Man, those natives are pissed! This is like a full-blown revolution!" Hornet cringed in fear.
"Do you think me throwing full sodas into the garbage had anything to do with this?" Piranha questioned.
Surprisingly, bullets were fired directly at them when the Bahamian rebels found them, but the Bad Guys got lucky when rocks still shielded them from getting shot.
"Quick! Into the jungle!" Wolf shouted as the Bad Guys ran into the jungle, but split up into pairs.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Bahamian rebels split up as well to capture all of the Bad Guys.
"What are we gonna do?" Hornet cried while looking back to see if the group were still following them.
Shark stopped and explained a plan, "Wait a minute, I saw this in the Jungle movie once, and maybe we just have to find a clear patch of bush and then pick it up and cover ourselves. Then, we can use it to sneak around without being seen until we could find a place to light up another rescue flare."
Hornet crossed his pants and deadpanned, "Did you watch Jungle Cruise again?"
"Yeah, like 50 times!" The large fish exclaimed.
-----------------------------------------------------------
One of the Bahamian rebels just passed the cave where Snake and Piranha were hiding in
"Thanks for changing your mind about drowning me in that river," Snake told Piranha.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Wolf and Tarantula were hiding behind a large tree where they saw two Bahamian rebels just pass by.
Just then, Wolf's phone rang, and Wolf couldn't ignore it as he answered it, "Hey! You're not gonna believe this! You're practically running for our lives in the middle of nowhere."
Then, Tarantula snatched Wolf's phone and threw it away before telling him, "Sshhh."
But it was too late. The Bahamian rebels found them and pointed their guns at them.
"They're heeeeeere!" Wolf referenced Poltergeist, but Tarantula didn't get that quote when she made a confused look at Wolf. "Ah, you're too young. You don't know."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Back at the resort, the Bahamian rebels were guarding a hut where they kept hostages, as Snake, Piranha, Shark and Hornet were already captured.
"So, how did you guys get captured?" Snake asked Shark and Hornet.
"Hornet's loud when he has an itch!" Shark pointed at the insect.
"Your hand was too wide, and you can't get behind my wings!" Hornet exclaimed before asking Snake and Piranha, "How about you?"
"Someone cut the cheese," Snake pointed his tail at Piranha.
"I fart when I'm nervous and scared for my life!" Piranha voiced.
Just then, two Bahamian rebels took Wolf and Tarantula into the hut and reunited the Bad Guys.
"Oh, Wolf, Webs, we're so glad you're okay!" Hornet exhaled in relief happily.
Wolf then reported to Snake what happened when they were captured: "Hey, when we got captured, I said, 'They're heeere!' and Webs didn't get it. That's funny!"
"Oooh, from The Poltergeist!" Snake guessed.
"Well, just Poltergeist. But yeah, that's right."
"Why are you doing this? Let us go!" Piranha demanded the Bahamian rebels.
"Every year we have to deal with you American tourists! Stuffing your slob faces, taking videos you'll never watch, and asking if I'm the Captain Phillips guy," The leader said, which made Shark raise his fin, "I'm not!" He then told his companions, "Take these tourists out, two by two, and execute them."
Two Bahamian rebels put their guns behind them and decided to take Tarantula and Hornet first.
"Oh, no," Shark whimpered for his two little friends.
Tarantula and Hornet's heads were covered by small bags that fit them and were taken outside.
The remaining Bad Guys heard two shots, believing Tarantula and Hornet were shot dead.
"Oh, no! This is terrible!" Snake cried.
"Now, now, maybe they just shot Hornet twice," Wolf guessed.
Piranha slowly turned his head and glared at Wolf before yelling, "I'm gonna kill you, Wolf!"
Not before Shark and Piranha were taken next, had their heads covered, and were taken outside. Wolf and Snake heard two more shots and believed Shark and Piranha were dead.
"Boy, they're really going at Hornet," that was what Wolf thought of.
"Wolf, I'm sorry I was grumpy around you. I guess I'm just worried that you don't want to stay friends anymore," Snake confessed.
"I'm sorry too, Snake. I'm sorry I'm such a jerk. I guess I didn't appreciate you as a friend because I've been doing most of the work as the leader, but I guess it's a team effort that made the gang great," Wolf admitted. "You know, I need you the most, Snake, and I always will. And if I have to get shot by these people, I want it to happen with you. My best friend."
"Wow, that's a good speech, Wolf. Very thoughtful," Snake said sarcastically.
"Now I know that's sarcasm," Wolf stated.
It wasn't helpful to make Snake feel better, but it wasn't a lie that it was very thoughtful of Wolf.
The Bahamian rebelsthen took Wolf and Snake outside and covered their heads in a bag before pointing their guns behind them.
"Hey, I love you, Snake," Wolf muffled through the bag.
"'I love you too, buddy," Snake answered back.
"We're ready now!"
Two gunshots were heard, as though things were over.
...
...
...
-----------------------------------------------------------
All of a sudden, the bags were taken off, revealing an alive-and-well Reynald and still-alive Shark, Piranha, Tarantula, and Hornet, who were holding food and drinks. The "Bahamian rebels" applauded behind them as well.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Snake. You did it! You've successfully completed the program," Reynald congratulated them happily.
"What?!" Wolf and Snake shrieked in shock and confusion.
The other Bad Guys cheered for them too.
"We just found out, too!" Shark noted, "The whole thing was staged. Reynald dying, the uprising, all of it!"
"That's what they meant on their website: 'Staged Revolution Friendship Counseling.' It all makes sense!" Tarantula chuckled.
The staff then gave Wolf and Snake their own drinks and food as a treat before leaving to get back to work.
Reynald stepped in and explained this whole thing, "Yes, sorry to deceive you all, but we find that when friends don't respond to traditional counseling, the stress of extreme danger reminds them of what matters most in their lives: their love for each other."
Wolf and Snake just glared at Reynald silently for putting them into a dangerous experience that happened to be fake, but Wolf thought about it for a minute and realized something.
"I feel like I should be mad, but... I guess you're right. Snake and I have never felt closer," he said.
"And I did get to kill a guy," Shark recalled how he killed the pilot of the small plane with a gun flare.
"What?!" Reynald gasped. This wasn't part of the play.
"Thanks for everything, Reynald," Wolf said before drinking his drink.
-----------------------------------------------------------

diary post #1
summer so close! school gets out on thursday, and it's only a half day - we have two finals, lunch, and then a makeup period for people who miss a class or need to talk to their teachers, and I don't have anything that I need to do, so I can leave at eleven, basically!! :P
monday was a half day, too, because of how hot its been here. our school was rebuilt recently so it has AC, but not everywhere in the district does. I think that most people either take the city bus or get driven, but there's some people who live in the suburbs that have to take school buses, so the end time needs to align with everywhere else.
I only had one real exam today, in math, which was cumulative but pretty surface level for every unit. I'm almost 100% sure that I got a 7 :)))) (IB grading system - that's the highest possible mark, equivalent of an A+) other than that, I had choir, which didn't have a final, and English, and we'd already finished our essays and the test, so it was just acting out various scenes from r+j. my group forgot our lines a little bit xD but it was fine overall.
I got a whole lot of people to sign my yearbook. it's pretty full now, which I'm glad about. my main goal is always to get as many signatures as possible. a lot of people wrote full notes this time, which I wasn't really expecting, but was very happy about. I'm gonna try to get more signatures in my other classes, too.
I think that this summer is going to be rlly fun !! I have summer homework for math and chem, which are both ib classes, and then this one gov't extracurricular I do, but none of it is particularly heavy. I'll prolly wait until sorta late in the summer to do them, anyways, so that all the info is fresher in my brain. I feel bad for my sister - every single class (8 in total) that she's taking is IB, so,,,,,,,lots of homework.
once school ends, I'm almost immediately going to this writing workshop camp at a nearby college :D it's residential, which I'm quite excited about, and somewhat difficult to get into - 65 people accepted this year, some unknown number of applicants in the hundreds - so I'm proud of myself for getting there in the first place, not to brag too much. I'm one of the younger people going there - it's rising 10th-12th - but I think it should be fine. I got in for poetry, which I haven't posted here at all, but might once I get the courage to do so lol. I think it'll be super fun! I don't wanna name the specific program, because i'd basically be announcing my location for two weeks, but I might do so after the fact.
after that, it's Seattle + the mcr concert with m, then my parents n sister r gone for a wedding and a camp at another college (all the way on the east coast o_O) respectively, so my brother n I get to basically stay alone. my aunt will be staying at our house, but she has work, so we have the days to ourselves. I think it'll be fun !
right after my parents get back I'm going camping with two friends of mine, and then a few weeks after that we'll go to the coast for a few days with my grandparents. I've got a few weeks after that, and then it's back to school :'( I prolly won't be too upset or anything by then - I always end up kind of missing seeing my friends everyday, choir, having a steady routine, all of that.
oh, and almost all of my friends (that I'm close with) have birthdays in or near summer, so there's that, too!!
wow, looking back this is really just me ranting for a while. also, anyone who knows me irl would immediately know who I was, but what are the odds of them stumbling across this blog, right? well, it's nice to have somewhere to put down my thoughts after school n stuff. that's really the whole purpose of a blog, right? I liked doing this, more than just writing in a physical journal or something. maybe that's because typing is faster. well, anyways, I'll prolly do this semi-regularly. hopefully I'll gain the confidence to post some of my more serious/official writing (mostly poetry) soon! excuse the multitude of tags - I wanna get more mutuals and find people who post similar stuff, so I'm trying to have as many people sorting tags by new stumble upon this as possible lol
anyways, see ya later !! ^-^

I perused your blog once like a month ago and hadn’t checked it again for a while… then last night suddenly I had a dream about Cepheus and Eridanus specifically, like literally down to their armor, where they were screaming at each other (I think it was about Cepheus doing something reckless? It wasn’t specific) and suddenly Eridanus was crying and they had a brother moment where Ceph realized Eridanus cared more than he was letting on…
I led with that strange introduction to ask, Have Eridanus and Cepheus ever had any emotional brother moments aside from the pre-final shape comic you posted? we’d all love to hear the angst if you have any…
Apologies for the delay! I meant to reply to this a couple days ago but work is currently kicking my butt so I haven't had a chance! I didn't wanna just give a 2 sentence answer. I'll put a read more cut here though cause I wrote too much maybe lmao
Firstly, MAN I'm so envious LOL. I wanna dream about them!!1 my dreams be like "you're doing a test in a class you haven't attended all semester". Thanks brain... Re: emotional moments, none that I've committed to paper either in writing or drawing, but there's one specific one which occurs after Witch Queen. iirc we got some of lore drops about the hidden bringing items to Savathun's throne world (I can't remember if it was to the pool of memories or to the relic) and glimpsing a bit about their pasts. Unlike Ceph who has basically accepted his life as a guardian and makes the most out of it/found his own purpose, Eridanus never has, ever since he was risen. I like to think Eridanus was tempted by the chance to get a glimpse of who he & Ceph were before, even though he knew that finding out the truth would make him even more miserable in his present life. And I think they 100% would have had a massive fight over Eridanus' suggestion that they should look into their past. Ceph would consider it meaningless, and that it would hurt both of them for no reason since there's no way to go back. Eridanus would argue that they don't even know who they are and... he just wants to know if he was happy. in that life. And that it would mean something to know that. And that y'know, Ceph has managed to cope but not everyone else fits into this "guardian" mould the traveler expects of them. And realistically, I like to think that'd awaken something in Ceph? like the first time since they were rezzed that he sees something more in his brother than just a hedonistic gambler with no cares in the world. but he tells Eridanus not to tell him anything if he goes through with it. and on that point, I can't decide if Eridanus would? I think it would be lonely to carry the burden of knowledge alone :( ...but y'know, let me make him suffer... let's say he did check LOOOOL (not that I've decided what their roles were before they died). .... wow that looks like way more than 400 words. thanks for reading all that (and the question!!! makes me want to draw a comic for this scenario ahh if only I had the energy) and honestly thank you for taking so much interest in my awoken OCs!! I'm really flattered that anyone is invested in them <3

The Highlights of Romance
Tumblr media
THoR Chap. Masterlist | Previous | Next
Chapter length - 2,342 words
Tumblr media
Chapter 007 - Kisses
You woke up with a smile on your face as you recalled what happened between you and Mark last night. You finally managed to share a kiss with him. It may not have been much but it was definitely more than enough for you. You had spent the rest of the evening talking to him and spending some quality time together. He even gave you a few tips on how to improve your writing. Despite the lack of sex, you definitely enjoyed yourself. Perhaps this whole thing wouldn't be so bad after all.
You pondered on what you should do today. Maybe you'd go visit your brother at the company and maybe ask if your sister-in-law popped out the baby yet. Other than that, you didn't really have any plans. You grabbed your phone and checked your calendar. Surprisingly, there weren't any appointments scheduled for today. How convenient. At least that meant that you could spend some time working on your new story.
After you got ready, you grabbed your purse and left the apartment. The streets were empty since it was early in the morning. Since you were going to a café, you decided to leave your car at home and walk instead. While the weather was nice, it wasn't exactly hot outside. In fact, it was rather chilly, reminding you of fall. The air felt fresh, cool against your skin. You took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp scent of the outdoors. The sun was starting to peek above the horizon, casting its rays upon the world below. It would soon be another beautiful day.
As you reached the entrance of the café, you felt someone tap your shoulder. You turned around and saw Mark smirking at you from behind. He wore a blue hoodie, matching pants and sneakers. As always, he looked ridiculously good.
"Morning." He greeted you.
"Morning Mark." You smiled, hugging him tightly. "No working in the office today?"
Mark shook his head. "Nah, your brother told me I didn't have to come in unless it was urgent."
"Great! Let's get breakfast then!" You exclaimed excitedly.
"Sounds fun." Mark laughed, holding the door open for you.
"Thank you." You giggled as you stepped inside. "It's so sweet of you to hold the door for me."
"No problem." Mark shrugged, closing the door behind you. "I was planning on doing something nice anyway."
"Oh really?" You teased. "What was it?"
"Sitting here with you." Mark responded with a smirk.
"Really?" You raised an eyebrow. "That was your 'something nice'?"
"Maybe kiss you senseless but since you're being mean…" Mark smirked.
"I am not being mean." You slapped his arm playfully.
Mark laughed, ruffling your hair. "Fine, fine. I'll kiss you then."
The two of you laughed together, entering the café. You scanned the menu posted on the wall, quickly deciding what you wanted to order. After placing your order, you both settled down on a table nearby, opposite each other.
"So let me ask you a question," You looked at Mark. "It's been swimming in my mind lately."
"Go ahead." Mark smiled. "Ask me anything."
"Have you ever been with an older woman before?" You asked bluntly.
"Wow, you know how to start a conversation." Mark teased. "I thought we were supposed to be focusing on the writing aspect."
"Sorry." You shrugged, scratching the back of your head. "I was genuinely curious."
"Have you been with a younger man?" Mark wondered.
"Sexually, yes." You replied. "Jaehyun, remember?"
"Uh huh." Mark nodded. "But never dated one? Never had a relationship with one?"
"Well…" You trailed off. "I suppose I have been on a couple dates but nothing serious."
"I see." Mark mused.
"Hey, why are you asking me questions when you didn't answer mine?" You scolded him.
"Huh? Oh yeah." Mark scratched his head sheepishly. "Actually, I haven't."
"Really? I thought you'd have some sort of experience with older women." You muttered.
"Is this a date or a therapy session?" Mark asked sarcastically, eyes filled with mischievousness.
"Ohhh, avoiding the topic now, huh? Come on Mark, give it to me straight. Have you ever been with an older woman before?" You asked again. You gave him a teasing grin. "Will I be the first one to break you?"
Mark couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay, I'll admit that I've never actually been with an older woman. But I have a feeling that I will once you're done with me."
You stared at him before laughing. "Haha, you really know how to charm the ladies, don't you?"
"It comes naturally." Mark joked, smiling softly. "I don't even have to try."
The two of you chatted casually for a while, until the waitress arrived with your food. She set down plates of pancakes and bacon in front of both of you before disappearing into the kitchen. Mark picked up a piece of bacon, raising it towards you.
"Wanna share?" He asked, grinning mischievously.
"Sure." You grinned back, reaching out for the bacon too.
As you ate your meal, the two of you talked about random things. Some mundane, some amusing. After breakfast, Mark suggested a walk around the park nearby and despite your initial reservations, you agreed. You needed to get some fresh air anyways. Besides, there wasn't anything wrong with spending some quality time with Mark.
You walked side by side with Mark as you strolled along the paved pathway, taking in the scenery. With autumn having officially started, the leaves had already begun changing color. Orange and red hues littered the ground beneath your feet, making the path look vibrant. You also noticed that there were plenty of couples strolling around hand in hand. It seemed like a romantic place, perfect for dating couples.
You didn't notice it but Mark was holding your hand too. When did he grab it? You hadn't realized it at first. Your mind kept drifting off as you watched couples stroll past, showing affection for one another. This place truly was perfect for couples looking to spend some time together.
"Do you want to stop for a bit?" Mark suddenly asked, breaking you from your thoughts.
You blinked in surprise, looking over at him. "Huh?"
"Do you want to sit down for a little bit?" Mark questioned, gesturing towards a bench a few meters away.
You nodded, following him. "Sure."
The two of you sat down on the bench, taking in the scenery surrounding you. Even though you were surrounded by other people, it didn't bother you. The silence that enveloped you felt comfortable and relaxing. The gentle breeze swept past you, caressing your cheeks and sending shivers down your spine. You glanced at Mark, wondering if he felt it too. The cool wind certainly did seem to affect him.
Your attention was pulled away from the beautiful scenery as Mark started to speak. "It seems like you're happy here." He said, looking up at the sky.
"I guess." You replied quietly. "Where else would I be happier than in a lovely place like this?"
Mark nodded, leaning forward slightly. He rested his elbows on his knees, propping his chin on his hands. He appeared relaxed, probably because he wasn't alone. The cold weather was starting to take its toll on you, prompting you to wrap your arms around yourself, hugging your body closer to yourself.
"Are you cold?" Mark asked, noticing your movements.
"Yeah, a little." You sighed, rubbing your arms.
"Come here." Mark pulled you close, wrapping his arms around your shoulders, pulling you close.
"Are you sure that you want to do this?" You whispered.
"I'm sorry, but are you seriously telling me that you want me to let go of you?" Mark whispered back. "I did say that I was going to do nice things for you."
"You're so bad, Mark." You smiled up at him. "I do recall you saying that you'll kiss me too."
"And you remembered." Mark grinned, pressing his lips against yours gently.
A moan escaped your lips as your arms tightened around his neck. You pressed your body closer to him, relishing in the warmth that radiated from him. It almost felt like he was absorbing heat from you, making you feel warm and comfortable. A small blush began to form on your cheeks as you breathed heavily, feeling your heart beating rapidly against your chest. You barely heard the sound of birds chirping in the distance anymore. All you could hear was the pounding of your heart as it tried to catch up with itself.
Mark pulled away, his forehead resting against yours. "Better?"
You giggled, nodding your head. "Yes, thank you."
"Not bad for a younger man, huh?" Mark teased, giving you a cocky smile.
You rolled your eyes, snuggling closer to him. "Mmm...not bad at all."
You had no idea how long you two spent just sitting there, embracing one another in an embrace. Neither of you cared. You felt content, satisfied. It didn't matter that you were technically not a couple, nor were you in a relationship with him. What mattered is that you had found peace and tranquility in his presence. You were able to forget about all the negative thoughts and feelings that were constantly plaguing you these days. Now, everything felt alright again.
"Let's go home. We can work on your project after that." Mark suggested.
"All right." You nodded, standing up from the bench.
He took your hand in his own, leading you back towards the exit. The cool wind that brushed against your face made you sigh happily.
You opened the door to your apartment, letting Mark enter before you followed suit. He closed the door behind you, flicking on the lights as he entered. Both of you started to remove your jackets and shoes before sitting down on the sofa. You immediately sunk into the soft cushions, letting out a deep breath.
"That was nice." You smiled, nuzzling into the soft material.
Mark sat next to you, gazing at you with fondness in his eyes. "Yeah, I agree." He whispered. "So what do you have so far?"
You picked up your laptop, logging onto the document. You showed him what you had so far.
"This is where I'm at right now. I've finished this scene but what comes after is still..." You trailed off, biting your lip nervously. "There's this huge blockage that keeps preventing me from moving on."
Mark listened attentively, silently staring at you. He waited patiently as you explained your predicament. When you finished explaining everything, Mark simply sat there, thinking. His expression remained neutral throughout your entire explanation, not giving away any signs of emotion whatsoever. Eventually, he turned to you, resting his hand on your knee.
"Do you need help with anything?" He asked softly.
"Mmm...more distractions..." You muttered, biting your lower lip.
"How about this?" Mark leaned in, placing his hand on your thigh, stroking it slowly.
You widen your eyes, breathing heavily. "Mark I thought you didn't want..."
"We've gotten closer haven't we?" He murmured, leaning in closer. "Let me ask you again...Do you like me?"
"I..." You froze. You knew what he was doing, teasing you. "Do you like me, Mark?"
His eyes softened as he gazed at you, flashing a brilliant smile. "More than you know."
Sighing contently, you leaned into him, bringing your face close to his. His lips met yours, the sweet sensation sweeping through you. You wrapped your arms around his neck, clinging tightly to him. When he pulled away, your breath caught in your throat. He leaned in once more, kissing you tenderly. You melted against him, unable to control your trembling legs.
"Do you like me, Y/N?" Mark whispered against your lips.
You returned his gaze, your voice barely audible. "Very much."
He smiled widely, pressing his lips against yours once more. The intensity of his kisses grew as he continued to deepen them, his tongue swirling against yours. Soon enough, your senses were overloaded, your world collapsing in upon itself. There was no such thing as reality anymore. Everything disappeared as soon as his lips touched yours. It felt like all you could focus on was him. Only him. Nothing else existed anymore except for the two of you. And the feeling that washed over you as his lips lingered on yours, as his hands held yours in his.
Everything faded to black as the world went silent, only the sound of your heavy breaths filling the room. The warmth that spread through you overwhelmed you. That comforting feeling that accompanied him in every moment flooded your body, melting your insides. You were being overtaken by blissful pleasure.
The bliss ended when Mark pulled away, his mouth falling open slightly as he gasped for breath. Your eyes drifted shut as you shook your head.
"Y/N?" He repeated, staring at you intently.
When you finally opened your eyes, Mark was sitting in front of you, watching you closely. Your fingers twitched, itching to reach out for him. They lingered on the edge of the couch for a moment longer before closing your eyes again.
"Mark, I..." You paused, your voice wavering slightly.
"It's okay." Mark whispered, reaching out to take your hand in his.
"What is this feeling?" You whispered, unsure of what to say.
Mark chuckled, shaking his head. "You're falling for me, aren't you?"
You let out a small laugh. "Maybe..."
Mark reached up, brushing his thumb against your cheek. You shivered slightly at the contact. "I'll still take that answer as a yes."
You leaned in, pressing your lips against his once more. This time, the kiss lasted a lot longer. His hands gripped your hips tightly as you tugged him towards you, deepening the kiss even further. His hands moved up your thighs, trailing up your waist. You groaned as he pulled away from the kiss, smiling smugly at you.
"Let's get back to work." Mark chuckled, fingers still entwined with yours. "That should give you plenty of inspiration."
"I think it will."
