TW: death, child death, mass murder, corpses (they're blurred)
#work husbands
i've been reading a lot of books about urban naturalism recently, and the one big thing they all talk about is how you HAVE to stop seeing nature as something that happens somewhere else. nature is not just charismatic megafauna and state parks and mountain ranges. nature is that abandoned lot that's growing native milkweed in it. nature is the murder of crows that lives in your block. nature is the moss growing on your roof and the dandelions growing in the sidewalk cracks and the song birds at your neighbor's birdfeeder. and you should care about it! you should notice it! that's YOUR nature!
The pain and terror children in gaza live with constantly. He's trying to keep himself together, developing a tolerance for horrors that no child should ever witness. Where are the human rights activists? Or save the children organization? CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE NOW.
Why am I so stupid chronicles pt.1
This whole time I was thinking wow janet jackson looks so much like michael jackson and then I saw a picture of her recently and again thought wow the resemblance is uncanny and then was thinking ooooh have they ever been in a room together and tried to google about the resemblance only to realize they’re freaking SIBLINGS??!!!???!?!!?
My brain can’t be bothered, ahhhhh the perks of not being american (srsly the country needs help) hehehehehehe
how does it feel to be surrounded by other delusional, left-wing scumbags in that echo chamber you call a 'fandom'?
It feels pretty good, actually! I like being surrounded by people who share my values and ethics because it makes me feel safe and supported. But, more than anything, it feels really really good not to be surrounded by fascists.
a/n. i had so much fun writing it as someone who's first language isn't english lmao
┆彡 BANG CHAN [ 방찬 ]
YOUR #1 FAN
he kinda knows how it feels to speak another language abroad - but he had felix
so he encourages you to talk to him even if he doesn't understand a thing
plot twist!! he does!!
yes, the second he found out that you speak [language name] he started taking duolingo lessons and watched youtube videos to improve!!
and yes, you knew i mean the green ass owl was spamming his phone more than the kids
and trust me, he learned a lot.
"--so the girl came up to me, gave me a flower and said i'm really pretty!" you finished telling the story that happened today: a cute, 5 year old girl indeed said that. you were about to translate, when chan spoke up... in [language name].
"awh, that's adorable!" he grinned and watched your jaw drop in shock "and in fact... you are really pretty"
"CHAN!" you grinned and started peppering his face in kisses as he giggled "you're getting better and better!"
that was also a reason why he wanted to learn your language.
but after some time you offered him that you can teach him and he has never been happier!!!
┆彡 CHANGBIN [ 창빈 ]
now...
when you mumble something to yourself or talk to someone in your native language he'd instantly smirk and look at you with literal hearts in in his eyes
but inside...
HE'S SCREAMING CRYING SHAKING
he finds it the hottest thing ever.
and you're mad at someone (or at him) and scream/scoff something... we must stay focused, brothers. we. must. stay. focused.
and yes, he learned a couple of compliments just to leave you stunned as you make him (even if you don't know that)
"asshole" you scoffed, crossing your arms on your chest as han ate last piece of pizza.
"what was that?" jisung asked with furrowed brows and full mouth.
"you're hot" changbin suddenly said in your native language and your head snapped towards him, eyes widening.
"what did he say?" han kept on asking questions. changbin just smirked and you were left speachless.
"you're hot as well, baby" you played along after your head cleared a bit.
"are they insulting each other?" han mumbled and you just laughed.
┆彡 LEE KNOW [ 리노 ]
honestly? he'd be pissed off he can't understand you while you're talking to your parents or friends on the phone
because he has a feeling and he's right you're talking about him
that's why he started learning it.
and yes, he dragged han into it as well so he could practice his pronunciation
but besides that?? it always leaves him speachless
you can insult him to his face and he'd find it hot
and if someone laughs at you or points out your accent or the fact that you speak your first language... well, they're already dead.
HE MELTS ON THE SPOT WHEN HE CATCHES YOU TALKING IN BABY VOICE IN YOUR LANGUAGE TO HIS CATS
*ahem* yeah, coming back...
"no, mom! i swear! we don't live together... yet! okay, relax i was kidding!" you scoffed and looked at lee know, sending him a soft smile "i mean, why not? first of all, his cats. i sent you pictures, you must admit they're beyond adorable. second of all i... well-- mom! i love him and i think it's only a matter of time when i move in to his place-"
"you're more than welcome to do it right away" lee know said in your language, smirk growing on his lips.
"what? no, mom he's not..." you mumbled
"hello mrs l/n!" he said, yet again, in your language.
"i gotta go!" you scoffed and hung up, throwing your phone over to the couch "what was that?!"
"it was me accepting your offer of us living together" he grinned, switching back.
"dumbass" you mumbled and placed a long, sweet, sweeeeeet kiss on his lips.
┆彡 FELIX [ 필릭스 ]
THIS BALL OF SUNSHINE RAINBOWS GLITTER JOY AND HAPPINESS
he'd support you endlessly and tell you over and over not to feel shy to speak in your language
he's lovestruck when you do so
hearts in his eyes pt2
and before you know it, he's learning it too. but with your help from the beginnig!!
he's so excited about it and as he infects others with his joy - he also spreads his knowledge as well
so yeah, the other members know basics of your language too.
he'd write notes on sticky notes and leave them in random places and it just makes you melt (even if there are mistakes - that's normal, he's still learning and trying his best!!)
"i made your favourite cookies" felix said in your first language, bursting into the room.
"yum! can i have some too?" chan asked in your language. your jaw dropped, eyes jumping from chan to felix with boyish smiles on their faces
"hey, don't forget about me!" i.n shouted in [language name] as well.
"what the f-" you muttered and seungmin's hand flew over to cover your mouth as felix approached you, laughing
"no cursing in this household!" seungmin said and after stealing a cookie, he ran away.
"what just happened?" you asked felix in english. he placed a kiss on your nose and just sent you a mischievous smile.
"enjoy the cookies, dear" he said in your native language, giving you one of his baked goods.
┆彡 HAN [ 한 ]
the first time he hears you speaking your native language is in the common room
everyone was there as you kicked the door wide open, jumping and screaming something not quite understandable
then he realised. and he froze for like,, good 15 minutes
MANS WAS SHOCKED
and from then he just wants you to hear you speak your native language 24/7
he gave up on learing it though (he still tries but not as eager as before)
but! he did learn some jokes and he tells them at random times
members tease him about he just stops functionating when you say something in [langauge name] but he's just too stunned to speak
loves your accent and the way your voice slightly changes when you speak it too <33
"i forgot the word... uhmm..." you whined and frowned, thinking out loud in your native language "not lovely... not scary either... shoot"
i.n shook his head as he nudged changbin to look at han. here he goes again.
eyes widened, mouth slightly open and watching you in awe like a kid staring at a candy in a candystore.
"got it! approachable!" you switched back, nodding your head and looking at jisung "what?"
"nothing" he smiled innocently, shaking his head. gosh, he's so whipped for you.
┆彡 HYUNJIN [ 현진 ]
insert pikachu surprised face. everytime you speak.
he'll look at you either like you're casting a spell and he's about to die or full of love and admiration. no in between.
but he loves when you speak the language SO MUCH,,
it makes his heart flutter i am not joking.
and your accent makes his heart go brrrrrr
he'll learn some simple and basic phrases, pick up lines and some iconic quotes from movies
loves the way you write in [language name] too. i'm not kidding.
he could watch you for HOURS.
and he's so so so stunned when he watches you text i swear
sucker for you telling him random stories in your language to sleep :(
"hey y/n..." hyunjin leaned over dramatically, resting his head on his hand and propping his body on his elbow. with a corner of his eye he caught you texting your mom in [language name].
"well hello there" you smiled softly and put down your phone, focusing on him. his brows furrowed slightly and he seemed to think aout something deeply.
"i hope you know CPR, because you just took my... breathing-- no, breath away!" he said after a while and started giggling, wrinkles forming around his eyes. your jaw dropped and soon enough you started chuckling too.
"you're so cute, i love you" you mumbled in [language name] and were about to lean in and kiss him when he gasped dramatically, almost falling down from the bed.
"i understood that!" hyunjin called out and grinned like a child. a smile grew on your lips.
"now gimme that kiss!" he hummed and closed the distance between you two.
┆彡 SEUNGMIN [ 승민 ]
will randomly ask you to say someting in your language or to translate something he just said
pretty chill on the outside
inside? seungmin.exe has stopped working
learns curse words (okay, and cute stuff to persuade you)
actually, he learned them from you...
when you're watching a korean movie/drama he insists on having subtitles in your native language
sometimes he repeats some words after you...
... or says these that he remembered out of the blue
"mushroom" seungmin said suddenly, causing you to laugh and the other members to look at him in confusion
"you okay? do you have a cold?" chan stood up and this made you laugh even more, throwing your head back.
"guys, i think something possesed them" lee know mumbled.
after you calmed down, seungmin looked very proud of himself even though he had no idea what he just said.
"so?" he asked, eyes full of joy.
"you said mushroom-- but that was so random, min!" you giggled and the others started laughing too. seungmin took a mental note to remember that.
┆彡 I. N [ 아이엔 ]
whipped. that’s all i have to say.
every time you are about to say something in your native language he shushes everyone!!
will learn it but mostly just to understand the memes and jokes so he can send you some and you two can laugh together!!
when it comes to speaking - he nails it. how? no idea. but he picks up pronunciation pretty quickly!!
his heart goes crazy when you call him nicknames in your native language <3
changed his preferred language in his phone to [language name] and had … a lot of fun with that
won't admit but loves to eavesdrop when you're on the phone, talking in your native language
"uhh y/n...?" i.n entered the living room and came up to you, placing a quick kiss on your forehead before plopping down next to you.
"hmm?" you hummed, looking at him. he grinned and handed you his phone, your eyes immediately noticing that he changed the preffered language to [language name]
"i'm stuck" he laughed, shaking his head.
"dumbass" you tsked in your native language and he'd just smirk. he watched you change the langauge back. "here, it's normal again"
"wait, look--!" i.n showed you his contacts and you melted as soon as you saw your contant number being saved as sweetheart in [language name].

also, a friendly reminder, the world we live in now consists of an active genocide.
of warcrimes being posted on twitter by the official account of israeli government.
of people looking at children, women and men being bombed, killed, starved and butchered and saying it is okay because of a single terrorist group, THAT ISRAEL CREATED.
of westerners saying to look away from the slaughter happening in gaza because your mental health is more important than thousands of lives.
of israeli politicians straight up using propaganda from nazi handbooks to dehumanise palestinians, calling them less than human, less than the rest of us, animals.
and what one palestinian man posted on his social media hit me more than anything: “if we actually were animals, people would care.”
This might be a hot take, but I actually like that Percy figured out Luke was the traitor at the last minute. There were A LOT of clues that would’ve been hard to ignore, and he ignored them for as long as he could. And it’s clear that even after accusing Luke, he’s still surprised and heartbroken at Luke’s confirmation of his suspicions. He was holding out hope, guys!!
Also, the Betrayal Scene flows better as an exchange of dialogue and a swordfight than it did, in the books, as a monologue and a scorpion sting. This also leaves a bigger impact on the viewers and characters because it’s more emotional.
*swatting at them with a broom* Back! Get back! Get back I say! 🧹🧹🧹
