HOL UP is my babycake sporting a demisexual flag tie? Goddammit man you are my favorite baby ever!

🏳️‍🌈  RFA (& co.) at pride!! 🏳️‍🌈

I’ve been wanting to draw my headcanons for them for a long time now!! Some of these hcs I feel more strongly about than others –and I just want to remind you that you don’t have to have the same ones ^u^ happy pride! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

im not sure if request is still open or not. if yes, then could you write about RFA&Saeran where mc smoke cigarettes frequently as a way to cope. thanks

okay so full disclosure I don’t smoke and i know exactly zero people who smoke sooo this was really hard for me. its short but i hope you still enjoy it!

Jumin

-        Not a fan. At least that’s what he says.

-        But he can’t take his eyes off your silhouette against the sunset when your smoking after a particularly stressful RFA party.

-        He leans over you, takes the cigarette from your hand and puts it out in the ash tray as he kisses you. It’s a sly trick that you don’t approve of at all.

-        But like also dang it he’s smooth and he tastes like fine wine and now you can think of one other way to relieve stress that could be very interesting

-        He wants to help you quit. He’s worried about your health.

-        Tries to get you to drink wine instead. It helps him distress and it has many health benefits.

Yoosung

-        Listen this boy chokes on thin air don’t even let him try a cigarette.

-        That being said he’s got a thing for tasting whatever flavor cigarettes you use in your kiss.

-        And he does think it make you look cool and a little sexy. He likes when his classmates ask who you are cuz he can say you’re his.

-        He gets needing an outlet to cope with stress (he has LOLOL after all) so while he worries a little about your health he won’t be overbearing about it.

-        He is entranced by your lighter or smoke tricks. He thinks they are so cool.

Saeyoung

-        The most uptight about it (you would think Jaehee but she kinda sorta thinks it looks cool)

-        He does not like it one bit. it’s easy to track and dangerous, and he’s had enough danger for one lifetime thank you very much.

-        He might hide your cigarettes to get you to quit. Or booby trap them. Or switch them for a prank box. Honestly its infuriating

-        And don’t even think about smoking in his cars because he will know he can sense it.

-        Slowly (with a few small arguments’, calm discussions, and all out screaming matches) you find a comfortable equilibrium

-        You end up smoking less (even if you don’t quit entirely) and he helps set up a small backyard area (with cameras, security and some patio furniture) for the bunker so you have a place to smoke that isn’t going to bother him or put you at risk of being just out in the open should something happen.

Zen

-        Smokes with you of course. At least at first.

-        You absolutely share the same brand (but different flavors)

-        When you take a long drag he can’t help but watch your lips. If you catch him and smirk he turns red and you won’t be able to finish your cigarette (poor boy has no self-control)

-        Also he’s got a thing about lighting your cigarette for you whether he’s showing of his lighter tricks or pulling you close so he can light your cigarette with his own he enjoys it a lot

-        All that being said if you have to quit for some reason (pregnancy, health or anything) he’ll quit with you, he is not letting you struggle with that alone.

Jaehee

-        She worries about your health a lot but after a stressful day she’ll pick you up a pack to help you distress

-        She watches you out of the corner of her eye because she doesn’t want to admit she thinks it looks really cool

-        She carries body spray and gum around so you never smell (too much) like smoke.

-        Honestly the smoke smell is the part that bugs her.

-        She may suggest groups or books to help you quit but she won’t force you

Saeran

-        Every time you get a cigarette he gets a sucker and joins you. It’s how he feels closer to you without actually smoking because he tried once and about hacked up a lung. It’s not his thing.

-        From far away you too actually look pretty bad ass. Then you get closer and oh it’s a strawberry flavored cigarettes and he’s got yeah he’s got a bubblegum tootsie pop maybe badass its quite the right word

-        He always goes outside with you when you go out to smoke. He likes the outside a lot and honestly he appreciates that you give him an excuse to step outside

-        You can see when he needs a break from people and inside and everything and he can tell when you need to step outside to smoke it’s a good system

I have thoughts about Jaehee’s route.

Sympathy for Jaehee

Look no matter how you look at it Jumin failed to create a healthy and satisfying work environment for Jaehee. He refused to listen to her concerns regarding her ability to do what he was asking and completely overstepped his bounds with requests regarding her appearance and dress. He took her for granted and failed to give her the time off she needed to recover from her works physical and mental demands.

It’s clear Jaehee has low self-esteem and placed much of her self-worth in being employed and independent. She’s used to being told that she is a burden and so she works insanely hard to prove people wrong. She also forgoes asking for help to avoid seeming greedy or useless. All of this makes her very difficult for many people to read. She hides behind this mask of professional formality to avoid anyone seeing how hard things are for her. The problem with this is that she is very likely to bottle up her emotions until she does something rash (as we see in her route). She needs someone empathetic and perceptive enough to notice when she’s struggling BEFORE she makes those irrational decisions.

I understand where she’s coming from. She’s just found something she’s passionate about and wants to throw herself into it with everything she has because she’s never had something this important to her. She’s tired and frustrated in her job and she feels creatively stifled by Jumin’s strict policies. All of this culminates into a steadfast stubbornness mixed with the desire to set herself apart from the image she’s hidden behind for so long.

Had Jumin simply accepted her interest and allowed her the freedom to do the coffee project however she saw fit I believe much of the drama could have been avoided. Had he put himself in her shoes he would have been able to understand that a little encouragement and freedom goes a long way but empathy is not his strong suit so he didn’t.  

 Sympathy for Jumin

What Jaehee did WAS insubordination. Plain and simple and that is technically a fire-able offense, though I agree he over-reacted. He told her to prioritize the cat hotel over the coffee shop and even if she didn’t agree no one can say she gave the cat project her all when she used slides mad by someone else and had a social lunch rather than look over edit and prepare for the presentation. It was also very clear that Jumin wanted Elizabeth as the mascot, she had to have Known that the second he brought up the cat hotel (he also mentions it directly to MC but I’m not sure if it’s in a phone call or a chatroom so I won’t count that). So by including an alternate and unapproved logo she was absolutely out of line.

Jumin struggles with empathy and emotional expressiveness because of his cold and analytical upbringing. He’s used to people trying to use, manipulate and cheat him so he constantly has his guard up never letting people in. the problem is when you build these walls from a young age you never learn how to see the world from someone else’s point of view. This leads to people not understanding what his actions mean as well as him not understanding other people’s actions. He also learned very early to suppress and deny his emotions for the sake of professionalism and because he learned it so early he finds it difficult to understand that other people cannot do this.

I understand why he is so frustrated, he feels ganged up on by zen, seven, and Jaehee. Three of his five closest friends (and let us not overlook the fact that of the remaining two 1 is growing increasingly isolated for unknown reasons meaning that he only has Yoosung left on his side). he expresses this feeling in one of his calls asking MC if Zen and Seven are messing with him, in this moment not believing that Jaehee will go along with them. As much as he denies it Jaehee has been a constant in his life for 2 years and he trusts her loyalty and perfectionism so when she goes along with his plan it must have felt like quite the betrayal.

 Conclusion

NO-ONE is blameless in this situation. Jumin neglected Jaehee’s physical and emotional wellbeing, and Jaehee reacted rashly by rebelling against one of Jumins passion projects.

Now don’t get me wrong, I am not suggesting that Jaehee stay in her assistant position to avoid stepping on Jumin’s toes. Jaehee deserves to be happy and chase her passion. Unless Jumin exhibits REAL change and emotional growth I could never in good conscious recommend she stay at that job. That being said I think she handled her exit from the company poorly. I believe that Jumin should have accepted the coffee shop project Jaehee worked so hard on and praised her for her obvious dedication and excellence. This would have eased much of the tension on Jaehee as Mark Twain put it “I can live two months on a good compliment”. On the other side she should have done the cat hotel presentation as Jumin requested and then subsequently turned in her two weeks’ notice. This would feel much less like betrayal and manipulation to Jumin and she would have a better chance of keeping the valuable connections she made while working at C&R.

I just think the entire situation could have been handled so much better.

i have feelings about jaehee said rout and will probably write an entire page about it once i get home until then take note that i have crumbled into a loosely contained dust devil of missed emotions

but I love jumin’s straight forward honesty and gentle caretaking affection

forgive me if i’m wrong i havent played a ton of MLQC but victor always felt VERY different because he was always trying to hide his affection and maintain a certain reputation

IDK like i said i haven’t played a ton of MLQC but I really don’t see victor and jumin being very similar at all

If your favourite Mystic Messenger character is Jumin, then your fave MLQC character is Victor. This is not debatable.

i cant pass up the chance to win a piece of art from you! and even if i don’t win maybe someone will see my re-blog and enter themselves and win. Good luck everyone!!!
