; girls’ night out

with @msudotty​

taking a long look through the window, liz sighed, an obvious sign of boredom as she dusted the pristine glass of the shelf behind her. there hasn’t been a customer ever since 5 pm and she was already counting down the minutes for her shift to end because in all honesty there weren’t many people interested in buying music instruments that day (and secretly she wondered if that wasn’t the very reason she picked a part-time job like that, one that wasn’t give her a hard time nor would clash with her academic duties). it was friday night and most people were looking forward to a good time at the nightowls or the orbit theater and even though her thoughts weren’t in any of those hot spots, she did feel like doing something as soon as she was free to leave.

checking if hale didn’t have his ears and eyes on her, she took her phone, sending a quick text to one of the few girls that wouldn’t refuse spending time with her.

✉️ >> lady d: my shift ends in 30 minutes.

✉️ >> lady d: wanna go out and eat/talk?

✉️ >> lady d: kinda miss you since halloween.

[msudotty]

dotty is bored. imagine that — bored on a friday night! this should definitely be illegal. dotty sighs as she thinks about all the possible things she could be doing right now, out with her sister, or callie, or, a new, hot guy, maybe even— 

oh? before she even manages to contemplate all the possibilities for what she could be doing tonight, her thoughts are interrupted by texts trickling in on her phone, the screen lighting up with notifications from my dearest lizzie ❣️. 

( outgoing owlet → my dearest lizzie ❣️ )

dotty: Ooooh!! Yes!!  dotty: Elizabeth Hwang, you have no idea how bored I am right now 😭 you saved me from death by boredom! Oh wouldn’t that just be dreadful? dotty: Anyway I will be right there! See you soon ❤️

and, true to her word, no more than 25 minutes later (because, being on time is being late, is her firm belief), dotty walks through the door of hale’s music shop, brimming with excitement to finally be spending some quality time with her friend. 

“liz!” she calls out, walking up to the younger as she promptly ignores the glare given to her by daniel hale, who probably hadn’t been accounting for another customer, much less one as loud as her. “oh, i’m so excited you texted me! i was bored beyond belief. and it’s a friday! you well and truly saved me, elizabeth.” dotty’s face is radiant as she smiles at her friend. “so, where to?”

[msudotty]

scales: missing in action!

and, according to @msulevi, so is kermit!

ugh, that scales. he’s sure been away a lot recently, hasn’t he? in the past few weeks, he’s managed to escape her dorm room, several times at that! and with nowhere to be found in the suseong common rooms, either. most of the times, he turned up again on his own, but then there was that one time she’d found him in the dungeons, of all places. 

today he’s missing, again. and today, dotty swears she’ll come to the bottom of what exactly he's up to these days. this university, though? it’s huge, like, hogwarts level huge. so while she doesn’t expect finding her toad to be an easy task, she does have a slight idea on where to begin looking — the dungeons, where she’d found him last. 

and perhaps it’s not surprising when she finds him there again. a new favorite spot, perhaps? has he gotten tired of the airiness of the suseong tower? maybe she needs to start going on walks with him. what is surprising, though, is that this time, she finds him with another toad. and... is that...?

“AHHHH!!!” a shrill shriek leaves her, at the sight of what looks suspiciously a lot like toad eggs. “scales! are you starting a family? and you didn’t think to tell me?!” dotty bends down, getting a closer look at the two toads. “awww, scales. i’m so happy for you! who’s your girlfriend?”

[msutaejun]

a tale of two.

with @msudotty in the suseong common room

despite it seeming like a regular day, it’s really not with the way that taejun is drifting around barely aware of the people he’s come across in the hallways. his smile is a little wider, a little brighter, and a little more cheerful than it usually is. of course, he has every reason to be beaming the way he is now that he’s official with eloise. ever since the grad geumseong student had confirmed her feelings for him and her that night at the costume party taejun has been floating on cloud nine.

he’s just finished his last class of the day and entered the suseong common room when he spots dotty sitting on one of the couches. considering that she’s alone and doesn’t seem like she’s waiting on anyone, taejun makes his way over before plopping down onto the spot next to her. he drops his bag down in-between his legs before turning to look at her with a perky grin.

“are you busy right now dotty?” taejun asks despite the fact that he’s probably going to ask her to listen to him anyway.

taejun knew that his relationship with dotty was a unique one considering how long the two had known each other and why. with the way the two interacted - as one of taejun’s good friends - he knew that many weren’t aware of the fact that the two had actually dated years ago back in their hogwarts days. in fact, dotty had actually been his first official relationship in his young inexperienced teen years.

dotty had been great with him throughout the entire relationship and although it obviously didn’t end up lasting the two had remained as friends simply because dotty still wanted to be his friend afterwards. despite the fact that it had been dotty to break up with taejun, he never held any hard feelings for her seeing as there wasn’t much he could offer her as inexperienced as he was. after getting through the break-up period though, the two really did hit it off well as friends and even grew to be able to talk openly about their relationships with each other. of course, much more of it being dotty’s different escapades with the guys she met.

so taejun knew that dotty was one of the few friends he could go to about his relationship without any judgement with how excited he was about it.

“i have some exciting news to share.” he states with a small dance to show off how ecstatic he is.

[msudotty]

“taejun.” dotty turns towards him, the homework she’d been working on already completely forgotten. it had been difficult, anyway — and that’s saying a lot, coming from miss dorothea bae herself, self-proclaimed genius! she might not look it, but she swears she is smart! but, never mind all that now, fuck criminology, and fuck this difficult case she had been tasked with solving. taejun is, clearly, way more important!

“for you? no, i’m never busy.” there’s a smile on her lips, nearly wide enough to be a grin, and to anyone else, this interaction may seem suggestive. flirty, almost. but things weren’t like that, not with her and taejun. they had been, once upon a time, way back in their hogwarts years. she had been taejun’s first, in many ways, and in some ways, he had been a first for her, too. not in the sense that she had been for him, but... to this day, dotty has yet to have a relationship that lasts longer than the one she’d had with taejun.

it’s been years since either of them had felt any sort of romantic feelings for each other, though, instead forming a deep friendship. honestly, dotty doesn’t know what she’d do without the younger, because at this point, he’d become a constant in her life, someone she always knows she can rely on.

at the promise of exciting news, dotty is quick to perk up, the excitement visible on her face in the way it lights up. “ooooh, exciting news?” she repeats, her mind already racing at 500 m/ph imagining what it could possibly be. ideas which she starts throwing at him as she comes up with them, not giving the seeker any chance to elaborate on what his news are.

“did you do really well on an assignment?” no. she already discarded that idea before she said it, honestly, it’s just that sometimes, words escape her before she has a chance to stop them. anyway, moving on to more exciting ideas. “no, that’s quite boring, actually. did you get a new pet? did you know, my own little scales is starting a family? it’s very— okay, wait, no, this is about you. hmmmmm.” she hums, dragging it out for a moment, but not long enough for taejun to get a word in. “you found out you have a secret, estranged half-brother, who just so happens to have been your friend this entire time. you’re beyond shocked, and a little betrayed. no? okay, i’ll admit that one was a bit out there. is it...”

OH. wait, she’s got the perfect idea, one he’d be right in calling exciting, because honestly, it’s beyond that. “do you, noh taejun, have a crush? and you’ve come to me, resident love guru, for advice? OR— even better, have you finally learned what i’ve been preaching, and gotten a girlfriend on your own?” finally, she stops talking, looking expectantly at him as he waits for him to explain. this has to be it.

[msudotty]

msukevin​:

Upon seeing her nod in confirmation, Kevin’s own head nodded along slowly with satisfaction. Sweet, the potion worked. He thought to himself, a please grin sneaking onto his lips shortly after. The fact that he was so lucky to have gotten such a convenient potion for the given situation was kind of INSANE. At the mention of fate, Kevin— again— nodded along slowly, somewhat following along with what she was saying.

“Ohh, a bride? Sick.” He commented, smiling again. Kevin was quick to notice that she was full of giggles. Did he say something funny? Letting out a few laughs of his own to ensure that she wasn’t alone, the boy allowed himself to believe that, yeah, he’s hilarious— why wouldn’t she laugh? 

In no time at all, the conversation shifted to soulmates, followed by the girl swifty showing him the letter her apple peel revealed at the activity he’d just come back on. Whoa. Maybe she was right and this was fate. “Whoa, that’s crazy!” He exclaimed, a much louder, more genuine laugh exploding from his mouth. It was kind of funny— which led him to his next words. “So we should just get married then, huh?”

He’s funny, right? 

dotty almost can’t believe this is happening. okay, emphasis on almost — of course she always knew she one day would be finding her soulmate, and honestly, it couldn’t come a day sooner! well, part of her had thought, maybe she should be prepared to wait for a while, as a worst case scenario sort of deal, but a much, much larger part of her thinks that this — finally finding her soulmate — is long overdue. 

and, finally, here she is, standing in front of her soulmate (in a wedding dress, even), and the guy immediately jumps to marriage. which is perfect! oh, she fully understands why this is her soulmate now. she’s never met anyone as willing to commit as she is before! 

“yes, yes, a million times yes,” she nearly squeals, beyond herself with excitement. “oh, kevin, i thought you’d never ask! or, well, i was hoping, y’know, since we’re soulmates and all!” wait, had he even done the apple bobbing himself? she’s sure they’re soulmates, there’s no doubting it at this point, but... just to be safe, she should ask. later, though. she’s kinda busy almost being proposed to here! 

“oh, kevin. i want to marry you. finding out you’re my soulmate, it feels so right. like we’re obviously meant to be together! i just don’t know how to live in a world where you don’t exist.”

[msudotty]

baby you are.

giving @msukevin a well deserved victory kiss!

dotty fully feels like the luckiest girl in the world right about now. she’s been engaged (to be married! ahh, she never gets tired of saying that!) for three weeks now (exactly three weeks, actually!), and things could not be going better, in her opinion, at least. sure, her and kevin had both been busy, making this what’s definitely her slowest relationship so far. but — she finds she doesn’t mind that much, not really. because it’s different than the others. kevin is committed, she already knows that due to him already having proposed to her. besides, they’re soulmates! things are destined to work out. 

currently, dotty feels immensely proud of her fiancé. she hadn’t even been trying to hide the fact that she was full on cheering for a different house than her own during the matches, because — come on! how could she not?! kevin had done so well, even better than the more experienced chasers on his team! ohh, she has to let him know just how proud she is.

“kevin!!” she yells out, as she runs towards him, clad in her cheerleading uniform. the rest of his team seems to still be around, but dotty doesn’t care — she only has eyes for her man. once she’s close enough, she leaps at him, throwing her arms around his neck as her legs find their way around his waist. 

“you did so well, baby.” her expression is soft as she lets her gaze rest on his face, hands stroking his hair at the back of his head. “no other chaser did as well as you. of course my fiancé would be the best player on the team.” she giggles, before leaning in and closing the little that’s left of the distance between them, capturing kevin’s lips in a kiss.

the lady of the ring pop

@msudotty​

“dotty, why are you saving this?” the question itself was more confused rather than accusatory. it’s been some time since halloween has passed and since then, her roommate has been keeping a ring pop sealed in some container despite it still being kept in its original packaging. somewhat. anyway, it has been sitting in the middle of the dorm since then, but with both callie and dotty being in and out of their dorm constantly, the younger of the two never found the time to actually ask her roommate about it. so holding the container in her hands and lifting it up to show the other, callie raised a curious eyebrow. “were you planning on eating it or should i throw it away—? it’s trash day.”

[msudotty]

“CALLIOPE LEE!” dotty storms across the room, unusually quick and springy on her feet, grabbing the glass box from the younger the moment she reaches her. the box is then cradled in her hands, almost as if the muggle candy inside it is her most treasured possession. and it is. it might not be much, a mere block of sugar in the form of a diamond, connected to a plastic ring. but it represents so much more than that — it’s a physical reminder that she has finally found her soulmate. and not just that, they’re engaged — to be married! no way anything that represents something as important as that could ever be classified as garbage. 

“i’m neither eating this nor throwing it away!” she insists, fixing her roommate with a rare glare from the usually cheerful junior. “this is my engagement ring, calliope! how could you ever suggest it belongs in the bin?”

The Umbrella Academy | 2x08 - “The Seven Stages”

[msudotty]

msukevin​:

Kevin’s eyes went wide at the sound of his name. Shit. She knew him— from Hogwarts, no less! Those days felt like light years away. He laughed nervously in response, not exactly understanding anything she was saying. Was he supposed to have known something? What was it that made so much sense to her? The boy could only bring himself to smile and nod as she spoke until she went quiet, looking at him expectantly. Shit. Was it his turn to talk now?

“Aha, yeah! Just give me one sec.” He let out another laugh before sticking his index finger up and turning around just a moment later. After picking up a random potion with Xander earlier in the day, Kevin intended on waiting until the costume party to mix it into one of his many drinks he intended to sip on throughout the night. But seeing as he could think of nothing else to get himself out of this sticky situation, the boy downed the potion in one go, hoping it was something useful.

His body tingled a few seconds after drinking it, before his body returned to normal. Did it work? He’d just have to wait and see. Taking a deep breath, Kevin turned on his heels, returning his attention to the girl before him. Smiling once more, he had to guess her name and hope that he managed to do so correctly.

“Dotty, right?” He uttered the name with a laugh. “It’s been a while, for sure! How are you? What are you supposed to be? A fairy?” If he was wrong, Kevin just hoped that his questions that followed would drown out his mistake. And if they didn’t, well, he was prepared for whatever consequences were to come.

dotty frowns — this is unbelievable! she’s just found her soulmate, the one who’s destined to be the love of her life, and he dares turn around to ignore her? what is he even doing? she squints. is he... drinking something? what is that, water? (aww, is he so nervous to finally meet his soulmate that his throat dried up? that’s adorable). or... alcohol? if he trying to get drunk? what the— OH. or maybe it’s one of the potions professor jung has been handing out. oh, merlin’s beard, not the darned potions. well, if it is one, she hopes his doesn’t have effects quite as catastrophic as hers had. imagine finally meeting your soulmate, only for him to promptly turn invisible right after! 

thankfully, the potion seems to do a whole lot of nothing (for now!), and kevin soon turns around to face her again. dotty’s frown turns into a huge grin instead — she can’t help it that she’s excited! “dotty, yes,” she confirms with a nod. “i’m perfect! oh, kevin, of course i am, you should realize this. i’ve ran into you, how could i not be!” 

there’s a laugh as he questions her costume. dotty herself thinks her costume is pretty obvious, y’know, considering the fact that she’s wearing an actual bridal gown. how does kevin look at her entire get up and see a fairy? she won’t lie, though, his confusion is quite adorable! 

“no, silly,” she teases (oooohh, they’re at teasing already? honestly, the chemistry between them is just completely out of this world!), “i’m a bride! honestly, it was just intended as an excuse to wear my wedding dress, but turns out it’s the perfect occasion to wear it now that i’ve ran into you! must be fate, huh?” she giggles, then— she realizes she hasn’t actually told him why she’s so happy to see him. though she might know, maybe he doesn’t, yet — what if he didn’t even try the apple bobbing? she has to tell him! 

“oh, it’s just perfect, kevin, because you’re my soulmate.” out of her bag, she takes out her apple peel from earlier (because yes, she saved it — how could she not!), neatly wrapped in a paper towel. “look!” the paper is unwrapped, revealing a now slightly browned, apple peel K. “it’s a k for kevin. of course it is! oh, it’s really all coming together now.”

- WHO YOU GONNA CALL?* — w. dotty

msudaisy​:

maybe dotty was the wrong person for daisy to tell about her little crush on the president. unlike the young woman herself, the older always seemed on the edge of a wild romance, always jump into the arms of the next dashing young man that caught her eyes. while daisy herself took her time, her steps calculated even with something as simple a crush, every move she took was planned to perfection.

even with something as silly as a crush on a ghost. ( was it even a crush, daisy wasn’t sure maybe a passing fancy ). “ inspire romance novels?” daisy groans, she can already imagine it, whispers how katherie choi’s daughter was silly enough to fall for a ghost, how dreadful. could ghosts even feel love anymore? were they not just lingering fragments of a person’s soul left in the living world? she’d have to ask bonnie, she’ll probably know more than daisy did. “ i don’t think it’d be that interesting, it’s not like anything’s going to come from this!”

placing a hand on her forehead, daisy could already tell this was going to be a long night. “ alright alright,” she mutters, resigning herself to dotty’s plans, it was halloween, what other night would she have an excuse of ghost hunting ( ghost flirting?) “ he always seemed preoccupied while in the library, perhaps he’s busy with ghost business?” daisy’s steps are hurried, as she peaks into the rather empty library, her eyes gazing to see if the coast was clear. “ shh, i’m sure it’s a rather embarrassing story for him!”

+

“what do you mean nothing’s gonna come from this? daisy, come on, you have to believe in yourself!” her words are insistent — she is not about to let the younger give up hope. this love story is too good to pass up! if it happens, which she hopes, thinks, it will, she has got to tell bitna about it. after their recent discussion on romance-able ghosts, dotty thinks there’s probably nothing more the toseong senior would love to write about. 

“i’m not saying you have to get married.” though, that would definitely be nice, she thinks! if she doesn’t marry a ghost herself, she would love to at least attend a wedding between a human and a ghost. ahhh, the romantic potential of it has her heart aching! 

dotty hums as the two enter the library. perhaps she should be quieter, as to not scare the poor ghost off, but for once, there’s no librarian kim here to yell at the students to keep quiet, and she is taking advantage of that. “ghost business? in the library? i wonder what that could be,” she ponders as they take further steps in. there’s no one around — is the ghost even here? 

“HELLOOOOOOO?” she calls out, any previous concern about possibly scaring the president gone. “are you here, president? hellooooooo?!”

[msubitna-deactivated20210608]

HOW TO: DATE A GHOST

ghost stories are always ripe with tragedy, and not the normal kinda, but the heart-wrenching kind that really grabs your heart captive and refuses to let go. she’s read many a ghost fanfic late in the night and there are more than she can count that’s left a lasting impression on her. after all, nothing says true love like falling for someone you absolutely can’t have. forbidden fruit! a love that transcends the realm of the living! 

how terrific!

and where better to find a ghost to interrogate about their love life than the—gym? 

“oh, it’s a pity we couldn’t go to a real haunted house,” bitna sighs out, clicking her tongue once, arm linked with dotty’s. “you know what i mean, dotty? like a real one! the dilapidated kind in an abandoned part of town that’s most definitely seen a tragic love story or two. or a murder, i suppose. but mostly a tragic love story!” her gaze scans the periphery, bright-eyed despite feeling a little underwhelmed. 

hm, upon second glance, it’s not so bad after all. or, well, maybe it’s the pitch darkness that gets more and more bottomless with each step they take that makes it hard to be critical. it’s hard to be critical of things she literally can’t see, but maybe that’s the allure of it all. it’s quaint!

something groans pitifully from The Abyss and bitna’s lips tug into a frown. “it’d be nice to have some mood music,” she says, mostly to herself, failing to acknowledge that haunted houses often rely on the moaning and groaning of evil spirits and the whatnot more than they do a cabaret band for background accompaniment. it’s her first time being in one (if it wasn’t obvious), and she’s not looking to get frightened; she’s looking to write a story. “oopsie, sorry! didn’t mean to get in your way!” she chirps, dodging a pair of red glowing eyes. 

well, this just won’t do. if she can’t find a ghost to interrogate, she might as well focus her energies on someone she knows will respond.

“dotty, what kind of ghost would you marry? do you have criteria, you think? maybe one or two things you’re really looking out for in the realm of the dead?” 

                       ( SIDE STORY … KISS KISS FALL OVER                                         STARRING … DOROTHEA BAE ! )

[msudotty]

dotty is at the haunted house for one thing, and one thing only — the everlasting quest for a fitting husband. don’t get her wrong, there’s no shortage of gorgeous, handsome, sexy men here at mokseong university, but eh. at this point, she’s dated so many of them, it’s kind of starting to get less exciting. it’s always the same thing: they go on a date, or sometimes they go straight to the sex part, but then with most of them, it’s over in a day or two. sometimes longer, but still! most of the guys here absolutely cannot handle commitment. dotty worries about them, sometimes. like, who doesn’t want to commit to someone, spend the rest of their lives together? in her opinion, the earlier you do so, the better! 

which is why, she figures maybe she’d have better chances with a ghost. they’re old, right? they’ve already lived their lives (or, well, lack thereof), so maybe they’re ready to settle down. she won’t find out if she doesn’t at least make an attempt! 

bitna is the obvious choice to go into the haunted house with. between the two of them, dotty thinks they’ve probably got enough knowledge about romance and relationships to rival even the highest ranking expert (is that even a thing? she doesn’t know, but it should be!) 

“oh, if only!” dotty sighs dreamily. “i don’t think they’d be able to somehow transport something like that to campus, though. but it’s not like they even tried! it would have been so much better than this.” honestly, the gym? all that makes her think of is sweat, which stinks, and there’s nothing romantic about that. “i think this place has probably seen about as much romance as caretaker smith. honestly, how has that guy stayed single all his life? it’s such a tragedy!” 

bitna’s words are lost on her, the suseong student giving a hum in response, as she’s suddenly distracted by a ghost approaching her. and— oh. he sure doesn’t look bad! is what she thinks, until he comes closer, and she sees the entire left side of his face looks like it’s been mauled by a bear or something, blood still there and everything. ugh. gross! 

“well,” she starts, attention turned back to bitna, “i don’t wanna seem shallow, but my first criteria is that he has to look at least decent. i can’t take any ghosts with any visible intestines on them, or whatever. or like nearly headless nick back at hogwarts! his sewered neck looks seriously disturbing. but other than that...” hmm. she thinks about it, for just a moment, before continuing her list of requirements she’d have for any potential ghost husband. “and, you know, it would be funny if he was a screamer.” she can’t help but giggle at her own joke. 

“what about you, bitna? would you ever date a non-living being?”

[msudotty]

everything i wanted.

msukirby​:

her pumpkin’s looking real cute, if kirby dare say so herself. it’s very tongue in cheek, too. she’s been waiting for dotty to ask her what she’s making, but for that to happen her sister has to look up from that weird staring contest she’s having with her own pumpkin first. she just wants to say ‘i’ve carved myself’ and see the look of confusion on dotty’s face. pay attention, dot.

okay, so she didn’t actually carve herself into the pumpkin, but a version of herself. it’s the muggle video character ‘kirby’, some pink monster who sucks up its worst enemies and then assumes their shape. honestly, she could relate to that. seems like a very useful power to have. ever since she’d become aware of the character, kirby’s felt a bit of an attachment to it. it’d explain the shelf full of plushies of that pink blob in her room, anyway. but yeah. dotty hasn’t said a word, and that’s… weird. it’s kind of worrying, actually. her sister’s the talkative of them two, if she’s quiet that usually means there’s trouble ahead—

‘i’m finally getting married!’ oh, boy. there it is.

“to the pumpkin?” it’s said in such a manner that it’s obvious kirby’s heard this kind of drivel before. at this point, her sister’s claimed she’s about to be wed at least five times in the past month alone. and she loves dotty, she does. but it’s obvious that at this point she has a difficult time believing anything that pours from her sister’s mouth. about her love life, anyway.

“oh, dot, i know i’ve said before that it’s possible for you to fall in love with anyone,” she’s sighing. “but i only said that because i was tired of your straight nonsense.”

"what?” huh... pumpkin? dotty stares at her sister, eyes wide in confusion, before a moment later, she remembers again that yeah, they were carving pumpkins. oh, she really is scatterbrained today. but! who can blame her! she just got engaged, after all! her constant longing for marriage is one step closer to realization.

“OH. no! what? i’m not marrying... this thing.” her gaze moves back to her... uh. to put it mildly? half-forgotten pumpkin. yikes! well, this is a failure. she really had wanted to carve pumpkins, too, had been beyond excited to do so with her sister, but this was just... not redeemable in any way. not that she’s trying to put her own pumpkin carving skills down here, but honestly? this looks like it was carved by a toddler, who then promptly fell asleep mid-carving. or something like that. 

well! never mind all of that now, she needs to tell her sister about her fiancé. her actual, real life fiancé, that actually exists. how about that! she’s about to tell her sister about him, about her dear kevin, when she realizes she’s being accused of actually being in love with a pumpkin. which is ridiculous! dotty would never fall in love with any inanimate object! 

“kirby! no, i’m getting married to an actual person! just look!” from her pocket, she takes out the ring she had been hiding so far, as she hadn’t been sure if she was going to immediately tell anyone. the ring isn’t a traditional one — instead, it’s a candy ring sold in muggle shops (she thinks it’s called a ring pop?). strawberry flavored, of course. honestly, her soulmate already knows her so well, and they’ve only been engaged for a few hours!

“he got me this ring. his name is kevin. he went to hogwarts, actually! but i don’t know if you know him, because i don’t think either of us were friends with him. but! we’re engaged now!”

the love gala

accompanying the lovesick fool in question: @msudotty​

fuchsia wouldn’t necessarily say she didn’t believe in love. but after all the events that had gone on in her life, she found it difficult to keep on trying to earn something that she wasn’t cut out for. so when she heard about the possibility of finding out her soulmate’s name from this apple bobbing activity, she originally found no interest in it. after all, it’d be a waste of her time seeing the first letter of a person that she doesn’t even think is real. 

but then, there was dotty. sweet dorothea bae who she had the pleasure of befriending because of how… odd the both of them were. the only stark difference that the both of them had was the fact that dotty believed she would find someone that she’d be tied to for the future. and of course, she never tried to convince her otherwise. but it did take a little convincing to have her be her plus one to bobbing apples. in the end, fuchsia makes it obvious that she has a difficult time rejecting her friends. 

so she stands to the side as she looks at her friend, eyes sparkling with a look that fuchsia once had… as a child. the third person visual might be entertaining to some. black widow standing to the side as she watches her bride friend dunking her head in a bucket of water. “don’t drown, dotty!” she says as a way to encourage the other. “i’ll be here to dry your face if the water makes you look like you had your wedding in the shower.” she could’ve said rain. but the more she thought about being wed in a shower, she couldn’t help but laugh. what a great way to celebrate with a shower head. 

shit. she’s getting distracted. “get a sexy person’s name!”

if there’s one thing there should be no doubt about, it’s that dorothea bae, the self-declared expert on love on a constant quest to find her true soulmate, would be at the apple bobbing. the question had only been with who, as she couldn’t possibly have gone alone. how would that even have worked out?! she needs someone there to witness her triumph, as she finally figures out who her destined life partner is!

her choice had fallen on fuchsia, who — despite her initial protests, ugh! — had agreed to go. yay! now, fuchsia wasn’t only there to be a spectator — of course not! they’re friends, of course dotty wants to share such an important moment in her life with the older. 

“i won’t drown!” dotty yells out in response to her friend. now, the actual apple bobbing part? not really something she had been too excited about. so she’s come prepared, hair neatly tied up in a bun. her attempts to catch an apple are delicate, perhaps even too much so, as so far, her efforts have been futile. ugh! she really doesn’t want to ruin her make up or anything by doing this! couldn’t she just pick the apple up with her hand? maybe if no one was looking— 

okay, no, she’s going to do this properly. imagine if the charmed apple doesn’t work if it wasn’t picked up in the intended way! now, that would be a disaster. it’s with a determined stance that she dips her head down one more time, and this time, she latches onto one, her teeth sinking into the freshness of the apple. 

“i got one!” she exclaims excitedly as she stands up again, though she has yet to take the apple out of her mouth, and her words come out as muffled nonsense. oh. whoops! “i got one!” she repeats once her mouth is free, gaze falling to the bright red apple she’s currently holding in her hand. is this fruit really going to be able to tell her who her soulmate is? 

“fuchsia, help me peel it!” she pleads, as she hands the apple over to the older. “i’m no good with peelers. what if i cut my delicate hands? we can’t have that! please, you need to help me so i can finally find out who my intended is. oohhh, i can’t wait!”

haunted.

msujunseong​:

hwang junseong is not exactly one who is easily scared by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, the like. he’s really not fussed about supernatural creatures — part of it comes with being magical, and the other part of it is just… well, junseong. it’s just not the thing that scares him. what does scare him are different things altogether, ranging from serious to stupid. serious things, like his cousin’s dead body (if he ever lost haejin, he thinks he’d be lost, he can’t lose anyone else). and stupid things, like this one fling he’d had in his freshman year before being absolutely terrified by the intense obsession she had promptly proceeded to display.

when he starts hearing her voice around him, coming out of seemingly nowhere, his eyes widen involuntarily. merlin, is he hearing things? but of all things, why would he be hearing her voice? this is the kind of thing that scares junseong, and he feels the shivers run down his spine as he walks a little bit faster. he’s supposed to meet hyeon for pumpkin carving, but suddenly he regrets not meeting with the other a bit earlier.

“why am i hearing dotty’s voice,” he mutters to himself, shaking his head, rubbing at his eyes. he’s hoping that if he shakes himself enough, somehow, the voice will shake itself out of his head, too. just like that. “get a grip, junseong,” he scolds himself with a frown, still walking. the voice is getting more whiny and he really wants to know why he’s suddenly hallucinating the voice of his ex-fling who he avoids like an infectious disease. 

“hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world,” he groans to himself. “should i go to see the nurse… maybe something was in that potion i drank earlier…” 

OKAY........ pause. now hold on just a minute. what exactly is happening right now? is she being ignored? junseong doesn’t seem to notice her, and wow — he even goes as far as to pretend she’s not there, that he’s just ‘hearing voices’. wow. un-fucking-believable. this is so childish! dotty really thought junseong was better than this! 

“junnie!” she exclaims again, though this time, with less excitement, more annoyance. how dare he ignore her like this? this can’t go on. instead of striding alongside him, dotty instead moves so she’s in front of him, waving her arms in front of his face. ha! she’d like to see him ignore this. 

but... what? still no reaction?  “this is so fuckin’ childish! you’re really gonna keep pretending like you don’t see me?” this is honestly getting so ridiculous at this point, dotty is considering going as far as giving up, but— huh? 

what’s that he said? he should go see the nurse? something about a potion? ..................... a potion. oh. what was it that her potion did again? made people not... OH. it had made people not look at her. what the fuck? is she... invisible? well... that sure would explain things, but oh, how inconvenient that would be! she’s about to hope that maybe all the potion had done was turn her ugly, when a quick glance down confirms that yep, she sure is very much not visible. 

ugh, this sucks! how long does this potion last for again? she’s sure someone had mentioned it, at some point, but forgetful as she is, it hadn’t stuck in her mind. merlin, what is she going to do if she stays like this for hours? days, even? could it last for days? she hopes not — the thought of not being seen by a single person for days makes her shudder. 

first thing’s first, though, she has to make junseong stop believing she’s some kind of ghost, or hallucination, or whatever it was the younger was saying. “junnie!” her nickname for him is repeated, again, the annoyance again gone from her voice. “you’re not going crazy — i’m really here! i’ve just accidentally become invisible. who would have thought an invisibility potion would’ve been on top of professor jung’s list of things to start handing out to students? unbelievable, right?!”

everything i wanted.

carving pumpkins with sister dearest @msukirby.

AHHHH! does she look different, dotty wonders? because, well, she feels different. super different! out of this world different! like, okay. so here’s the thing... dotty is an experienced dater, she won’t lie. and kirby knows this about her, so dotty having a new boyfriend? not that surprising! not enough to make her come off differently. 

but today? it’s different. it’s not just a boyfriend now... it’s so much more! her soulmate, her forever ever after. her fiancé! yes, you heard her, she said fiancé. who would have thought, right? dorothea bae, expert at everything romantic, FINALLY engaged. eeeek!! it’s literally unbelievable. she feels almost antsy, body bursting with anticipation in sharing the news. she has to tell kirby— 

oh, wait, speaking of kirby, what was she doing again? dotty blinks, once, twice, as she comes to her senses, gaze falling upon the pumpkin in front of her. oohhhhh. right. after the (to put it mildly) unsuccessful attempt at making junseong carve pumpkins with her, kirby had promised they’d set aside time for it during the day. but, well, a lot has happened since then! first the apple bobbing, then running into kevin... it’s really just been a rollercoaster of a day! 

but... wait, okay. so she’s here with the pumpkins. is kirby here? a quick glance is shot to the side, where sure enough, she finds the familiar form of her sister. wait, what the fuck — just how long had she been spacing out? oh, this won’t do. she really can’t take it anymore, keeping a secret from her sister is impossible! 

“oh, kirby, i can’t keep this from you any longer,” she starts, attention now completely focused on her sister, the pumpkin in front of her forgotten. dotty doesn’t give kirby much of a chance to react before she keeps going, anxious to just get on with it already. “i’m finally getting married!”

✘ CLOSED STARTER — @msudotty​

A D? Who did Kevin know whose name started with a D?? The boy was still distraught over how Anais had gotten HIS first initial, but he didn’t receive hers in return. Not only was it extremely disappointing, but it was also confusing— far too much for his brain to handle. As he parted ways from the other, Kevin was still so focused on understanding the whole thing that he hadn’t even noticed the other heading his way until he’d physically bumped into her. 

After staggering backwards ever so slightly, the boy looked up towards the victim of the run in with an apologetic smile. He could swear that he’d seen her around somewhere, but couldn’t pinpoint it. But seeing as they’d both attended classes here, it wouldn’t be a huge stretch for them to have just run into each other around campus. 

“Crap, my bad. I didn’t see you there. You all good?”

[msudotty]

soulmates. what a curious thing, dotty thinks. while it’s usually a topic that’s at the forefront of her mind as often as, well, daily, today the presence of the topic is nearly overwhelming. woah! dorothea bae, hopeless romantic, finding the topic of soulmates overwhelming? super unlikely! right? 

well! it just so happens today there was a confirmation. she’s always dreamed, hoped, longed for a soulmate, because surely there’s someone out there for her. someone who can be the one. because there’s someone for everyone! dotty has just not had an easy time finding out who it is. but now? thanks to the wonderfully enchanted apples (that totally show the truth, because hello? it’s magic! she always trusts in magic!), she knows his name. okay, she doesn’t know his name. she knows the first letter, which is close enough! it narrows things down! 

K. that had been the letter she’d seen. thoughts of who the letter could belong to had been mulling in her mind ever since. her immediate thought had been kirby, but she’d been quick to push that away — like, hello! that’s her twin sister, of course they’re meant to be together forever! she doesn’t need some apples to tell her that. no, this has to be her romantic soulmate, that just happens to have the same first letter as her sister. it has to be. 

and wouldn’t you know, fate is also a curious thing. because in the midst of her aimless wandering, dotty being too distracted by her own thoughts to see where she’s going, she runs into him. kevin. that’s a K! kevin seo! it has to be him. like, what are the odds? it’s totally fate! 

“kevin!” she exclaims, more excited to see him than she probably has been, ever. have they even talked since hogwarts? she can’t be sure. well, never mind that! he’s here now, she’s here, and by the laws of the universe, they must be soulmates. 

“i’m more than good. y’know, i’m actually perfect. i can’t believe i’ve finally found you! oh, kevin, of course it’s you, it makes complete sense now!”

- WHO YOU GONNA CALL?* — w. dotty

msudaisy​:

location: courtyard w/ @msudotty​

daisy wasn’t too sure of this plan. her eyes shifting through the crowd of students, how did dotty get her to follow this plan. it was embarrassing enough that she had admitted to thinking the president ghost was cute off handlely. but to try to look for him? that was horrifying to say the least. 

but there was a small part of her, deeep deep down that wanted to see if he remembered her.  “dotty, are you sure about this?” daisy questioned, tuggling lightly at the other woman’s arm, “what if he’s like busy with something?” what he would be busy with? daisy wasn’t sure. but still. 

“what if he thinks i’m crazy?” she whined bashfully. 

ooooh, this is exciting! a real, romantic adventure! dotty had, quite frankly, been overjoyed at daisy’s mention of having a crush on the president. not as in, the actual president — merlin, that would be gross! he’s too old! — but the ghost. who she has unfortunately never met, but from what she’s heard about him, he’s not the worst looking fella out there! also, did she mention how romantic this is? come on, imagine it — a human, and a ghost, star-crossed lovers, forbidden romance, and all that. it’s almost like it’s out of a book! of course dotty wants to help with that.

“i’ve never been more sure of anything in my life! come on, it’ll be cute. i’m sure your romance will inspire hundreds of novels about forbidden love succeeding...” there’s a dreamy expression on her face as her words trail off. maybe she could even try her hand at writing one? hm... no, that would be crazy — she’s hardly a good enough writer to give their love story the adaptation it deserves!

as daisy’s worries continue, dotty scrunches her nose at the younger, still intend on dragging her along. “stop worrying so much! he’s not busy, why would he be? he’s a ghost. all he does is haunt this place. and if anyone’s crazy, it’s him! didn’t he drown after playing a game of gobstones or something? or was it during? either way, he’s not exactly sane. so it’ll be fine! let’s just get to looking.”
