#// he's a lil nervous to meet the parents XD

[kingcenred]

A grin of his own is sent Loki's way, and he lets out a faint hum. "I might have some suggestions," he acknowledged with a playful glint in his eyes. "Get my hopes too high? I'm sure I have no idea what you mean..." he feigned innocence, but his lips had curved into more of a smirk.

He didn't want to admit that he was anxious to make a good impression on Loki's family: after all, until the ceremony his father was free to change his mind and send his son packing back home. Cenred certainly didn't want that to happen, but he deemed it rather unlikely - he was a good match, after all. "Is there anything I should know, before I meet them?" He queried, as they approached the castle walls once more. "Any conversation topics I should avoid?"

Loki huffed out a soft breath of laughter as Cenred lamented the inevitable piles of paperwork and meetings that he would no doubt be bombarded with once they returned to the castle. “Mm, I’m sure you’ll be able to behave yourself in the meantime.” He teased in answer, flashing the king a grin. “See it this way, it’ll keep you busy until we can take a break from all the wedding preparations again.”

The prince suspected it would begin to feel more real in the coming days, and that with the arrival of their guests the prospect of having to stand before them all might become all the more daunting. Between the last minute duties to ensure the day went smoothly and all their concerns about Uther and Morgause, Loki wouldn’t find himself surprised if Cenred grew all the more vigilant, or a great deal more temperamental — as they rode he could see him scanning the treeline, stubbled jaw clenched. “Cen, you need to relax.” He insisted, gently enough that he hoped the knights wouldn’t overhear. “Everything is going to be alright.”

I saw your request to the void for story requests! Here I am to oblige, if you'd so please.

Would you be down to write about a Yandere!Prince, who falls in love with a low tier noble. Just the idea of going to a party to for our coming of age, expecting nothing given how low your family is in status, only for the crown prince to fall in love at first sight!

Or something like that xD. Hope you are taking care!

-🌟

𓆩:*¨༺✧♛ Yandere prince ♛ ✧༻¨*:𓆪

Desc and possible Cw: Yandere themes, reader is tired of everything and everyone, reader is a lil hater, the prince is an egotistical jerk [what did we expect], and probably some wrong info about the medieval times. [Please forgive me if anything is wrong, I'm a bit misinformed.]

Let me know if I missed any!

As a low-tier noble, you never expected to be invited to a royal party, let alone the coming-of-age celebration hosted by the crown prince himself. Your mother had insisted on dressing you in some of your grandparents' old clothes, which may not be as elegant as what the other guests will be wearing, but they'll do. Nervous knots twist in your stomach as you prepare to attend the kingdom's most exclusive event. Would the prince even notice you? Let's be serious: even though your mother had you bathe three times in a row, sewed your grandparent's old clothing to make it look presentable, and did your hair in a nice way, you still wouldn't be noticed. After finishing getting ready, your mother added some finishing touches and sent you off to the party.

As you walk toward the kingdom, the cold winter air blows past you, causing you to shiver and pout. This is total bullshit. Why did the prince decide to hold his coming-of-age party in the winter? This is bullshit! BULLSHITTT!!!! As you internally cuss out the prince and his parents, you enter through the kingdom's gates and into the castle, where beautiful women and handsome men make their way to the ballroom to meet the prince. You scoff quietly and follow behind the crowd, heading toward the ballroom.

As soon as you and the crowd enter, the sparkling chandelier springs to life and lights the entire room with a powerful glow that nearly blinds you. And now that I mention blinding, the light shining off the gold vases and wall decor is so darn bright it's burning your eyes! Damn this place! You squint and focus your eyes on the dramatic prince on his father's throne, cross-legged. What a prick! First, he hosts this stupid party in the middle of winter, aka the time when the weather is the coldest it's ever been, then he turns on that bright ass chandelier that nearly blinded you all, and now he has the audacity to act like he's above all of you? I mean, he is royalty, so technically, yeah, he is, but still! What a jackass! You scowl and stand behind the beautiful women in big, puffy dresses. They'll cover you nicely with those giant dresses; btw, they do look super nice, so you might compliment them later.

The prince clears his throat and stands up, placing a hand on his chest while the other sneaks its way behind his back. “I welcome you all to my ceremony; today we are celebrating me, of course, and since I'm the most important individual here, it's quite obvious I'm the one who is getting celebrated.” The prince said it very smugly as he smirked and waved his hand around as he spoke. “I invited some men here since I don't want any of you ladies to go home tonight feeling disappointed, so have fun mingling about! Now, we will begin dancing in 3, 2, and 1.” The prince steps down from the throne and snaps for a butler to turn on the music. Just as soon as he [the prince] snaps, a butler turns on music. The crowd claps and begins to spread around the ballroom. Some women try to ask politely for a dance with the prince, and some men ask a few women around to dance. This is truly ridiculous. To you, of course.

You sigh and make your way through the crowded room, aiming for a nearby balcony to hide away until the party is over. Everyone knows that the prince is an egotistical jerk, but no one has ever said anything because of the fear of getting executed or something like that. You don't know, and you don't care; you just want to leave. I mean, you could leave, but you'd be reprimanded by your mother for leaving the prince's ‘ceremony’, if you could call it that. It's more of a show-off party for the sake of boosting the prince's ego. It's bad enough that he's a jerk, but he's a jerk with an ego as big as a windmill.

Unknown to you, the prince has already got his eyes set on someone. You!

After a while of leaning on the balcony and staring off into the nearby scenery, someone comes beside you. You feel an arm against yours, and you turn your head to look at the person—it's the prince! You give him a mean, judgy look in hopes he'll find you unappealing and go away. He only smirks in return and opens his mouth to speak. “What are you doing out here? You should be out there celebrating me with the others.” He says smoothly, his tone of smugness never leaving for a second. You roll your eyes and look at him. “I'm out here because I want to be out here," you say plainly, still praying, no, hoping that your attitude will drive him away. The prince chuckles and rests his elbow on the balcony's railing, placing his head in his hand. “Seriously? Why? Don't you like celebrating the one who's your soon to be king?” He replies, smiling smugly as he chuckles even more. You scoff and look away from him, deciding to ignore him.

The prince, after 30 seconds of silence, smiles even more and snaps his fingers in your face. “Hey, you shouldn't ignore your higher-ups. It's impolite.” He smirks and giggles. You give him a confused look as you judgely look him up and down. The prince laughs and throws his head back. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” He says in between laughs, clearly finding your judgmental look funny. “Because you're annoying.” You reply harshly, not holding back your annoyance, even though the person you're talking to is royalty. He laughs even harder and smacks the balcony rail in amusement. “Wow, so mean~ you're even more than looks! I think I love you already.” He smirks and giggles even more. You deadpan. Excuse him? Did he just say he loved you? You blink in surprise for a few seconds before scowling and giving him another judgmental look. He laughs even harder at this and takes a few minutes to catch his breath from all the one-sided laughter. After that, the entire night [the rest of the party] is just you and him, him laughing his ass off while you scowl and keep giving him those amusing judgmental looks.

From the looks of it, I guess he's already decided who his future spouse is.

Welcome to the end credits! This is where I will give information on my new or previous yans!

The prince is bisexual! He just needed an excuse to invite men so he could take a look at his options in both categories.

Hello 🌟 anon! Thanks for requesting, this was super fun to write, and it was probably the fastest fic I've ever written, haha! I hope you and everyone else are doing well! I hope you enjoyed reading as I enjoyed writing! (^ω^)

What have you done to me for chrissake?!

In an alternate universe where everyone lives (Goose, Carole, Ice), what if Goose meets Hangman first (or Hangman meets Goose the first, same) and THEN Jake meets Bradley?

But like they could be in a hospital: Goose for a checkup about the injuries caused by the Canopy accident, and Hangman for a general checkup after a mission. They're in the same room. And they end up talking. They hit it off so fast it's like platonic soulmates at first sight. AND THEY'RE HONKING LIKE TOTAL DWEEBS! SAME KIND OF HUMOUR AND EVERYTHING!

[I'm totally fine. What are you talking about?! xD]

[Oh btw! Hiiiiiiiiiii!!!! 😄😄😄]

Hello there @redfurrycat!

I do have a lot of feelings about Hangman and Goose and all the could have been's! (It's always the 'could have been's with Hangster, isn't it?).

It's interesting that Hangman and Goose generally have an immediate negative connotation because of the classroom incident, but I really think they would have hit it off right away (as you said in your tags—duh of course! Goose would get along with Mav 2.0), which is especially funny when Hangman and Rooster did not! I can imagine a mellower Rooster huffing on the phone with his dad during flight school about Hangman this and Hangman that (and Goose nodding along but you can see his smirk from space because yeah, absolutely painfully familiar), and then they figure it out, and Rooster brings him home. And Jake is actually nervous, which is a first. Because in my heart, Jake is a romantic and doesn't care for casual, exactly like he doesn't care for mediocrity in the sky. He only goes all-in or not at all, and when he met Rooster he knew. Add that, again in my heart, Jake is a good southern boy, proper old-fashioned (I'm picturing him showing up with flowers for Carole). So makes sense that he would be worried about making a good first impression on Rooster's parents. And maybe if his relationship with his own father is strained, and in his point of reference fathers are angry and distant, and then Nick is so sunny and chill and hilarious and let's not forget QUICK-WITTED—like, affectionately, Goose is also a lil bit of a bastard too, which would delight Hangman. So yeah, as I said, they would have gotten along alright!

Kind of unrelated but related, once I thought about this au where guardian angels are real, and after his death Goose becomes Hangman's guardian angel and is there watching over him during his first kill. And then when Hangman saves his boys during the mission it all comes full-circle. Also it was really amusing to me picturing Goose getting second-hand embarassed when Bradley keeps putting a foot in his mouth with Hangman because 'That's no way to treat a mister, son!'

Chorus Fruit

Cross posted on Ao3 and Wattpad by the same name :)

Puffy stood in front Sam with Foolish by her side. Sam stared quizzically and was confused on why she was here. Sam knew of Puffy’s relation to Dream and he knew Dream was a dangerous fellow that was manipulative and knew how to use his words. Sam didn’t think it was best for either Puffy or Foolish to enter the prison, but Puffy held her ground and somehow convinced Sam to let her in. Foolish who had been watching from the side was impressed by his mother’s skill.

“Listen Puffy, I just don’t think you should visit him.”

“Why not? I should be able to see my duckling Sam.”

“It’s the fact that he’s your duckling I feel you shouldn’t go.”

“Sam what could he possibly say? ‘Mom I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to’? He’s an adult Sam that shit won’t work on me.”

“... Alright but the moment I feel you’re gonna fall for his mind games I’m dragging you back. Same goes for you Foolish.”

“Mhm understood Sam.”

“Thank you Sam for trusting me.”

They went through everything they needed to and soon the three stood in front of the lava wall. On the other side Dream sat and Puffy was anxious to see her duckling again. Foolish was nervous to meet the infamous Dream. He knew of the horrible things Dream did and just how manipulative he was. Both their nerves were on fire and every slight sound made them jump.

When the lava was gone Puffy instantly noticed the man in the orange suit sitting on floor writing. His mask was off and on the floor but his face was turned away. Dream refused to let Sam see him without it. Once Puffy and Foolish were there Dream put on his mask and looked at them. Puffy saw him and rushed over to hug him.

“DUCKLING!! What hell is wrong with you?! You can’t seriously think what you did was okay?!”

“Mom.. I’m sorry.. I never wanted any of this to happen..”

Puffy knew that tone of voice, the somber low level. He was about to start crying and while Puffy knew she should leave right here and now, to yell for Sam to pull her back. She had to stay here.. She had to stay here and comfort her duckling, because that’s what good parents do..

“Duckling… What do you mean?”

‘“I never wanted to do the..hic...horrid things I did to Tommy… I never even wanted the exile to last all that long!”

“So why did you do it?”

“It wasn’t m-me Mom! I-I promise!”

“Duckling, calm down… Please tell me what happened.”

“It was DiDi.. He took over d-during the trip to take Tommy out...outside the city. I.. I was stuck watching ME d-doing horrific actions… Actions I’d never wanna do.. Please Mom, you know about DiDi. please believe me!”

Puffy was conflicted. She knew she shouldn’t believe him, knew that he was manipulative. But she knew about DiDi, that damned deity, and how likely was it that her Duckling, the boy she had taken under care when he was little, how likely was it he’d lie to her? Puffy should’ve left but she didn’t, she hugged her son and told him everything was gonna be okay heartbreaking with every sob she heard. 

Foolish watching as this happened and while he didn’t know Dream well from the things he’s heard, he assumed Dream was a tough cutthroat killer that felt no remorse. The Dream before him right now was nothing like the rumors. And if what he was saying was true, he never wanted to be all those things. Foolish looked around the room and noticed the book Dream had been writing in. It looked like a one-sided conversation but he was unable to decipher whether or not Dream was the one talking in the book.

“Dream please take off the mask..”

“Mom..”

“Take off the mask… take it off so I know… it's my son under there..”

When Dream took the mask off Foolish was unable to see his face but from the reaction Puffy gave he could only assume it was good. Puffy on the other hand stared at her son with a sad smile. The inky black tears that ran down his face was proof enough that it was Dream. Ever since he popped out that end portal and she took him in, he always cried black tears and bled black blood. She knew she’d have to explain a lot to Foolish but that could wait. She washed the mask in the sink and wiped her son’s face before giving it back. 

“If what you’re saying is true Duckling.. I will find a way to get you out.”

She hugged Dream and left with Foolish. Dream sat back down on the floor and watched them leave. Once they were all gone and he was alone he started laughing. He called out for someone and there was a splash from this little landing pad. DiDi crawled out laughing with him. 

“ ‘Mom please be-believe me!!’ My god Dream you sure you aren’t an actor?? Hahahah!!”

“Aw what can say DiDi, I’m just that good! Hahaha poor mom!”

“Her little duckling is an evil lil shit!”

Dream went up to the deity and gave the floating man a pat on the back. Puffy’s visit was unexpected and Dream had to hide the god so she wasn’t suspicious. DiDi teased Dream about becoming an uncle right after being imprisoned. But Dream was more curious on where he could go after escaping.

“Well that Tubbo kid started a new village.. You could always hide out there.”

“Really? Where is it?”

“It’s somewhere over there actually really close by. The kid named it ‘Snowchester’. Actually looks pretty good.”

“Who’s living there?”

“Uhh Manifold and Foolish. They’re the only ones living there at the moment.”

“Now how to get out..”

‘’Well you could cash in that favor from Techno and you always got Ranboo willing to help. I’ve been making sure of that.”

“DiDi you sick bastard, that’s amazing.”

“Yes, yes I know I’m amazing.”

“Puffy, Techno, and Ranboo are my only allies besides you at the moment. I need more people to visit me..”

“So you can give them the same sob story and gain their pity?”

“Mhm you know it buddy.”

They continued to talk and by the time XD left, hours had gone by. Dream spent the night walking the length of his cell and writing. His writing was frantic and wouldn’t make sense if you read it, which was everything he needed. He could spin a story from it and no one would question him about it. Meanwhile outside Puffy and Foolish were walking back to her home.

Foolish had wondered what that was about but knew this wasn’t the right time to ask. So he wait till Puffy was sitting at her table before speaking.

“Hey Mom?”

“Yea?”

“What was that today??”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Why did you say you were gonna get him out?! What is wrong with Dream!?”

“Listen Foolish, it.. There’s a lot to explain.. And to that.. I gotta start from the beginning..”

Puffy went to the kitchen and began making tea for the two of them. The sound of running water and the gentle wind helped calm Foolish’s nerves but he still couldn’t help but feel like he was going to learn something he shouldn’t. When Puffy returned she handed him a mug and sighed before speaking.

“It was ages ago but I still remember the day like yesterday.. I was mining for Niki because she needed something.. I think ores? Whatever it’s not important.. But while I was down there I came across an End portal..”

“An end portal? Isn’t the End off limits?”

“It wasn’t back then.. Back then there were plenty of portals no one felt the need to go though.. Anyways.. I was marking the area.. So Niki and I could visit.. But.. But as I did someone came out the portal.. A child.. He couldn’t have been older than 5.. He was just so cute.. Sandy blonde hair with the brightest of green eyes..”

Puffy’s voice was cracking and she stared into her mug with tears welling up in her eyes. She was trying to get the next few words out but couldn’t. It hurt so much to think back on the old days. All the smiles, all the laughs, all of it hurt so much. Everything was so much darker now and it made her miss the days when she could go outside and not see the egg or worry about her son.

“Mom.. I’m sorry you don’t have to continue..”

“It’s fine Foolish.. The little boy popped out the portal eating a chorus fruit.. I was so worried.. And my worry.. It only grew when DiDi showed up.. DiDi is the name Dream.. It’s the name Dream gave it.. It’s proper name.. If you could even call it that.. Was DreamXD. DiDi gave me a bag of chorus fruit and started to cover it.. I don’t know why.. DiDi and Dream came out of the portal and I don't know why the portal was closed off afterward.. But Dream was my son and I couldn’t give him up.. I just couldn’t.”

Foolish stood and hugged the crying Puffy silently wishing that he didn’t ask the question. He knew Dream was different but he never could’ve guessed he came from the End. Why did DiDi come out after him though? The two had to be correlated but how? Foolish didn’t have time to think about it, his mother needed comforting. 

Puffy cried as she thought about her sons, Niki, and her friends. Oh god all of them, they were all so important to her and she just let them slip away.. She should’ve been able to stop Dream from doing those things, convinced Niki to stay, or at least stopped Bad from touching the egg. All her friends and family were in danger and she left so useless. Why wasn’t she able to do anything to help them?

When Foolish returned home that day he was conflicted to say the least. He wasn’t here to see the things Dream had done nor was he here to see to him in the same light Puffy did. But today he learned things many others probably didn’t. How likely was it that people knew Dream came from the End? How likely was it that they knew Dream and DreamXD came right after each other? 

Foolish knew he would need to talk to Dream personally about this, but first he had to talk to DiDi. Foolish was preparing to leave when he ran into Tubbo who was working on his farms. The boy had no clue of what Foolish planned to do and he wanted to keep it that way. 

“Oh hey Foolish! What ya up to?”

“Hey there Tubbo! Oh nothing much what’s up with you?”

“Ah just farming and the like. Uh where are you going?”

“Oh I’m just going exploring might run into some interesting caves!”

“...Okay… Good luck then. See ya around!”

Foolish rushed off and Tubbo eyed him curiously as he walked away. Tubbo was suspicious but he had nukes to test so Foolish could wait for now. He made a mental note to keep an eye on him though. Foolish went to the Nether to collect blaze rods and potion making supplies. He would need the potions to protect him and he wanted to be as prepared as possible. He passed Ranboo but ignored him trying to do what he needed and leave the endless nether. Ranboo noticed Foolish’s flighty behaviour and decided to follow him.

Ranboo didn’t know why he was following Foolish but he knew he had to. Something was telling him to follow and he decided to trust it. He saw Foolish enter a Nether fortress and assumed he would be farming wither skulls but his heart fell to his stomach when he realized he was getting blaze rods. He was collecting more than needed for potions and he hoped Foolish was just over stocking but as he saw the man start looking for ender pearls he knew exactly what Foolish planned to do. 

Why was Foolish heading for the End? What could he possibly need? Ranboo’s mind was spinning as questions whirled through it. He needed to know more, maybe he could stop Foolish. Anything to prevent him from entering the end. But why was Ranboo so concerned about someone entering the End? How was it an issue for him? So many questions and so little answers..

It's when they’re in the stronghold does Ranboo reveal himself and Foolish immediately draws his sword. Ranboo throws his hands up and backs up mumbling things and silently begging for Foolish not to kill him.

“What are you doing here, Ranboo?”

“Listen I could ask you the same question Foolish..”

“I’m here to try and get much needed answers. Why are you?”

“The same reason! I want to know why you’re trying to get into the End. And I want-.. No I need to know what’s been going on..”

“Explain.”

“Alright so I sleepwalk nothing new there… but I lost my beacon one night.. And my pickaxes show signs of intense use.. I don't know where or why my things are like this and I need answers!”

“So you follow me? What makes you think I know?”

“Nothing but something.. I don’t know what is telling me to follow you..”

“...”

“Please Foolish let’s work together to understand.. And if it doesn’t help we forget this ever happened.. Okay?”

“Okay then.. Let’s go.”

Ranboo was thankful that he wouldn’t be dying soon but was fearful as they approached the portal. Foolish placed the Eyes of Ender in the frames and right before he placed the last one a loud bang and a bright light filled the room. Wind rushed through the underground room blowing out the torch's warm light. Soon the torches relit with a bright green light making the ominous being more intimidating and eerie.

The being floated above the portal and wore long flowing robes. He wore a mask similar to Dream’s except he had an ‘XD’ face  instead of a smiley face. Though the mask was smiling he could tell that being behind it wasn’t. It was cold and quiet and they regretted their decision to come here. 

Before either the two could speak the deity began talking. Its voice low and heavy, each word sounding like a threat.

“What are you doing here?”

“We’re here to ask you a few questions.” Foolish stated this, his voice slightly wavering while Ranboo stood back slightly afraid. This god, if you could call it that seemed, familiar. Ranboo can’t remember ever meeting him, but he looked at Ranboo like he knew who he was.

“Well then what questions have you come to ask mortals.”

Foolish looked at Ranboo before speaking. He knew this would come out sooner or late but he wasn’t sure of his reaction. However he chose to risk it.

“Why did Dream come out of the Ender portal? And why did you follow afterwards?”

“Oh so Captain Puffy told you I assume? Did she tell you the full story?”

“...”

“No? How sad.. Well I wouldn’t mind telling you the truth.. I know Puffy finds that hard to do...”

“Alright then get to talking1”

“Eager are we? Well I pushed Dream out the portal after learning of a child living there. On the other side there was Puffy and I figured she’d be able to find the boy a good home. I stayed here to make sure no one else fell into and got stuck in the End. I don’t know what you’ve heard but I’m not a bad guy.. I’m just trying to protect everyone..”

“Do.. Do you know where I came from? I know I’m part enderman but.. D-did I also come out from the End?”

“Huh? Why yes Ranboo you did. You were considerably younger than Dream at the time so finding a suitable place was difficult. But I think I did a good job no?”

“Do you know where my beacon went? A-and why are my tools so worn out?”

“Well little Ranboo why don’t you use context clues and go pay Dream a little visit.. If this is all you have to ask I’ll be going now.. But do not forget. I’m always watching.”

Wind came rushing back through the room and there was so much it knocked Foolish and Ranboo to the floor. It was dark for a second then the torches were relit and the portal was closed off. They stood up coughing and dusted off their clothes before looking at each other with grim expressions and nodded. 

They both knew what they needed to do. And neither were prepared for it.

While this was happening Puffy was walking. Walking through the Nether and through a dessert. It was far from the SMP but she had to come here. Memories of walking with Niki and Dream to this safe haven filled her mind as her feet walked to where they needed to be. As much as she tried to forget she could still hear Dream’s little shouts of ‘Ow hot sand hot floor hot floor!’ 

Tears ran down her face and blurred her vision so much she nearly screamed when she saw a brightly colored person rushing her way. The person in question was one Mr. Karl Jacobs, back from another adventure. Karl saw the dazed Puffy walking and decided to walk with her to keep her safe.

“Hey Puffy!”

“Ah!- Oh hello Karl.”

“Heyo what ya doing in a desert? Are you ok??”

“I’m doing fine.. Just going on a walk..”

“So far out?”

“Yeah.. Visiting my garden out here..”

“Garden? What kind of garden is out in a desert?”

“... A special one..”

“Is it sugar cane? There’s not much water here though...”

“No...”

“Cactus? Not sure why you would need a cactus farm but hey what-”

“It’s not cactus or sugarcane Karl..”

“Huh? Then what?”

“It’s chorus fruit..”

“Cho..CHORUS FRUIT?! WHERE DID YOU GET CHORUS FRUIT?? THE END IS OFF LIMITS!”

He stared at Puffy with wide eyes, stopping in his tracks. Puffy continued to walk and Karl had to run to catch up with her. Karl tried to stop her from moving and talk to her about this but his attention was soon directed towards the large gated garden full of chorus fruit plants. The tall plants held an eerie air around them. The hot desert suddenly felt like ice after he stepped into the garden. He watched as Puffy plucked the fruit and stared at it.

His mind was a buzz with questions. Where did she get the fruit? Who gave it to her? Why did she have a garden full of it? Was she ok? Karl didn’t know. Puffy collected a chest full of the fruit and handed him some. 

“Puffy what do you want me to do with this..?”

“Just take it.. Please..” “Puffy what’s wrong?” “.. Everything Karl.. Now leave please..”

The wind blew causing sand to toss and turn. Puffy looked at Karl with sad eyes as sand blew higher and higher, she turned and started to walk away. Karl chased after her but the sand hurt his eyes and by the time the sand settled Puffy was gone and he was alone in the garden.

Karl looked around trying to find the Captain but was unable to. The fruit in hands however had a familiar feel to them. He didn’t know why but it felt like he had these before. He had never been to the End but the longer he looked at the purple fruits he felt nostalgia…

He decided to put fruits in his bag and look over them back home. Now if only he knew where to go. How did he even get here? Where was he coming from? Karl rushed to find his books and a sigh of relief emerged from him once he did. By the time he came back to the SMP he saw Puffy talking to Tommy and Tubbo, while he was still very worried for her well being he chose to let her be for now. He saw her still holding the basket of fruit and looked at his bag full of it. Tommy and Puffy walked away and it made him wonder if she was giving chorus fruit to everyone. He hoped she wouldn’t because no one knows what the consequences of that might be. Arriving at his home he saw Sapnap and Quakcity waiting for him.

“Ay where have ya been Karl?”

“Yea we missed you!”

“Ah I’m sorry! Didn’t even realize I was gone that long to be honest.” Karl laughed as he said this but when he noticed they weren’t laughing with him, he looked them confused. They looked at him concerned and confused and started to check if he was sick. 

“Guys, guys I’m fine! What's the issue?”

“You’ve… you’ve been gone for a month Karl..” Sapnap said slowly. Karl’s eyes widened as he dropped his bag. He rushed over towards the calendar on the walla and stared at it heart dropping to his stomach. They were right. An entire month has passed. Quackity noticed his bag but chose to ignore the strange feeling he got from it. It wasn’t important right now. What was important was Karl’s health.

They brought Karl to his bed and had him lay down on his bed before questioning him. Karl answered the questions to the best of his ability but soon found himself drawing blanks on certain parts of his memory. He couldn’t remember things that happened and there were things clearly missing from it. It was like a puzzle without all its pieces. It was painful trying to remember and it worried Quackity and Sapnap more. 

Why couldn’t he remember where he was for a month? Why was his memory so skewed? They chose to let him rest but they never left his side the next few days. Ranboo and Foolish on the other hand were trying to think of how they could get Dream to talk about Ranboo’s tools, if he even knew about it somehow. 

Ranboo knew his visit to the prison would be scary and now with this added pressure it would surely be worse than anything he could imagine. He needed his panic room. He had to get there so he could calm down. He just had to. He rushed to the room but was hit in the head by something. Looking around and finding no one he glanced down to see what had hit him. Chorus fruit..

Luo Qingyang in Lanling

@mdzsnet​ CQL anniversary. Day 7 - One year with CQL! (free prompt)

Part 2 here!

Luo Qingyang and her small family are following the rumour of a pack of ghouls in the forest on the Lanling-Gusu border. Zhuoying is carrying little Mianmian on his shoulders and pointing out the different kinds of trees and bushes they pass. Mianmian is getting big enough that Zhuoying won’t be able to carry her so easily for much longer, but for now she crows with delight at the extra height and peppers her father with questions about the plants he calls to her attention. Luo Qingyang listens to their conversation with only half an ear; the rest of her attention is on the forest, on her sense of resentful energy that is steadily growing stronger, though it’s still faint.

An hour later, they are deep in the forest, well away from human habitation. Mianmian is now walking between her parents, one hand in her father’s. Luo Qingyang’s grip on her sword tightens as the ambient resentful energy increases. Suddenly, they hear the sounds of fighting ahead of them—clashing of metal, shouts, the eerie bestial roar of unnatural creatures. Luo Qingyang draws her sword; it hums in her hand, responding to the resentful energy just ahead. “Stay hidden,” she tells Zhuoying. He nods and picks up Mianmian again, holding her tightly as they creep forward. Luo Qingyang walks resolutely toward the sounds of battle. Whoever is fighting might have the situation under control, or they might need help. Help she can provide.

It is... a lot of ghouls. There is nothing that can properly be termed a clearing here, so the cultivators battle the ghouls around trees and bushes. As Luo Qingyang approaches, she sees a young man in Lan robes push off the trunk of a tree to escape the reaching claws of one ghoul; he uses his momentum to slash off the head of another. It’s hard to tell in all the mayhem, but she spots the telltale robes of several different sects—Jin, Lan, Jiang, and a few minor sects she just barely recognizes by sight; one of them might be Ouyang, she thinks.

Luo Qingyang takes in the shape of the battle in the moments between one step and the next; she spots one of the Jin cultivators backed up against a tree with three ghouls pressing in on all sides and decides that’s as good a spot as any to provide help. She leaps into the fray sword-first, cutting through one ghoul’s legs and another’s arm in a single diagonal slash. The Jin disciple spares one moment to gape at her before turning their attention to the third ghoul. Luo Qingyang finishes off the two ghouls she had disabled before turning away, looking for another situation that might require her aid.

That’s when she sees Suihua.

She freezes.

The distinctive glare of her dead friend’s sword crashes into a cluster of ghouls, sending them stumbling back. One of the ghouls is hit dead on and collapses into a disjoint collection of body parts.

Luo Qingyang looks around for the source of the sword glare and sees Jin Zixuan’s son for the first time in her life. His face is contorted into a scowl of concentration as he kicks away a ghoul. He’s back to back with one of the Lan cultivators, both of them defending another Lan disciple who has a qin out and is playing with a look of steady concentration on his face.

Jin Rulan, she remembers, That’s his name. The new Jin-zongzhu.

News of his accession had come to Guangling a few months after she and her family had run into Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. News of the upheaval of the entire cultivation world. At the time, she had thought about traveling to Lanling. Zhuoying had been supportive, if nervous. In the end, she had decided not to. The young man would need powerful allies at this time and what had she, a rogue cultivator who had rejected allegiance to the sect before Jin Ling had even been conceived, to offer him?

A group of disciples from various sects are battling their way toward Jin Rulan and the Lan boys. Luo Qingyang shakes herself out of her reverie and jumps to help.

A Jiang disciple sends a pair of talismans over her shoulder and she whirls to see two ghouls frozen in place. She nods her thanks to the young woman and then beheads them both. The talismans, used up, burn to ash.

It takes more than an hour from Luo Qingyang’s arrival at the scene before every last ghoul is either dead or disabled. Several of the cultivators are wounded and all of them are winded, even she. 

A young man in Ouyang burgundy directs several of his fellow disciples to start gathering the ghouls’ bodies in the one open space between the trees. Another minor sect disciple takes out a medical kit from her qiankun pouch and a small queue of the wounded develops in front of her. Luo Qingyang leans against a nearby tree while she cleans her sword and watches the bustle, watches Jin Zixuan’s son out of the corner of one eye, trying to decide if she wants to approach him now.

The Jin disciple she had first helped approaches her cautiously. She finishes wiping down her sword and sheathes it as they approach. “Thank you for your help earlier, qianbei,” they say, bowing politely. “May I ask your name?”

“Luo Qingyang,” she says, returning their bow. “I was following the rumours of a pack of ghouls, but I had no idea it would be this large. Is this why there are representatives of so many sects gathered here?”

The Jin disciple rubs the back of their neck, laughing sheepishly. “Actually, it’s kind of become a tradition for all of us to get together like this and go looking for trouble. Last year, a bunch of us were trapped together in Luanzang Gang, and we... kinda bonded over it?” They shrug a little, then smile brightly at her. “Anyway, I’m Jin Ruwei. You should come meet Jin-zongzhu!”

“Oh, I—” she hesitates for a moment longer. Then, What are you even afraid of, Mianmian? she demands of herself. “I would be honored,” she says at last. “But first, is it all right for my husband and child to join us?”

“Your—” Jin Ruwei startles and looks around, as if wondering where another adult cultivator might have hidden, and then nods. “I don’t see why not.”

“My husband’s not a cultivator,” Luo Qingyang explains, smiling. “He’s waiting with my daughter until it’s safe.”

“Oh, well. Uh. It should be safe enough now, I think.”

Luo Qingyang grins at the young Jin. Marrying non-cultivators must not have occurred to them as even an option. Well, leaving the Jin sect was good for her in a lot of ways. She purses her lips and whistles a short series of notes, their agreed-upon “all clear” signal. Then, she pushes off from the tree she’d been leaning on and looks around. Soon enough, Zhuoying and Mianmian walk in from between several trees. Mianmian runs the last few steps to her and Luo Qingyang picks her up, swinging her high.

“A-niang was so cool!” Mianmian announces, before looking around the not-quite-clearing. “This is a lot of people.”

“It is indeed,” Luo Qingyang agrees. Then she turns to Jin Ruwei. “You wanted to introduce me to Jin-zongzhu?” Zhuoying startles at that and looks around. He knows what Sect Master Jin means to her.

“Uh, right.” Jin Ruwei can’t quite hide their curiosity as they look at Zhuoying and Mianmian, but they turn and lead her and her family into the crowd of cultivators. ~~

Notes:

I named Mr. Mianmian 周卓颖 | Zhou Zhuoying (Outstanding & clever; what can I say, his parents had high hopes for him).

小绵绵｜Lil’ Mianmian probably has a proper name too but I haven’t come up with it and LQY and husband probably will call her exclusively Mianmian until she’s old enough to object. XD

I spent like two hours trying to name Mianmian’s sword but I just really want to get this fic done so it hasn’t happened. If any of you have ideas, pls let me know.

Jin Ruwei is of Jin Ling’s generation, hence the 如 in their courtesy name. The wei is 薇, a species of fern (also known as royal fern or flowering fern), according to Wiktionary.

Also god dammit, I think I need to continue this, because this feels like a good chapter break. So uh, call it part 1 of post-canon Luo Qingyang & Jin Ling fic?

[risesonthecourt]

👀 Asahi×Makki for ship meme 🔍👀

I’m doing this specifically for our Asahi and Makki, but anything not verse related goes for them in general anyway so it’s fine XD

General:

Rate the Ship -   Awful | Ew | No pics pls | I’m not comfortable | Alright | I like it! | Got Pics? | Let’s do it! | Why is this not getting more attention?! | The OTP to rule all other OTPs --- they’re so good together.

How long will they last? - Try splitting them up, I dare you. Once they get together that’s pretty much it, they just stay together. It’s not even an issue. Rough patch? Who’s she?

How quickly did/will they fall in love? -It was pretty quick actually. Not like love at first sight but crushing very quickly and it paid off and once they got together they went from ‘I like you a lot’ to ‘wow I think is it’ before long.

How was their first kiss? - Really cute! Makki took the lead because Asahi got nervous but he knew what he was doing and it wasn’t the best kiss ever but it was still sweet and nice.

Wedding:

Who proposed? - Probably Makki, but it really depends on the verse, in some verses Asahi gets there first.

Who is the best man/men? - Well, Asahi couldn’t decide between Suga or Daichi and wound up picking Noya. Makki could have Mattsun or Iwa or both if he wanted.

Who is the braid’s maid(s)? - I don’t think they’d have one. 

Who did the most planning? - That also depends on the verse. Asahi takes care of their outfits, and they’d probably share the rest and consult each other a lot.

Who stressed the most? -Actually, maybe Makki, if he’s doing more of the planning. If Asahi’s just doing the outfits and not much else, he knows he can do well and he’s oddly calm.

How fancy was the ceremony? - In the cheerleader verse, hoo boy it’s fancy XD They go all out. Almost any other verse though, they go understated. Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding? -ummmm I don’t think they would have

Sex:

Who is on top? - It really depends on the verse. Sometimes it’s almost always Makki, sometimes it’s almost always Asahi, but usually they switch fairly often.

Who is the one to instigate things? - They’re pretty even about this as well. But put werewolf Makki fresh from a change in front of Asahi and that boi’s gonna get jumped XD

How healthy is their sex life? - Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they? - I’m calling harpy Asahi out a second time here XD also both of them. On a bus. Come on guys, get it together XD Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last? -They usually go for a while actually. Depends what they’re doing, but think like 20 minutes to almost an hour.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms? -It’s not so much an effort to make sure they’re equal, but it usually winds up being equal anyway.

How rough are they in bed? - Again, depends on the verse. Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do? - No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

Children:

How many children will they have naturally? - So many supernatural things happening XD 3 in that verse, harpy and human twins and a lil woof.

How many children will they adopt? - Maybe also 3, I guess.

Who gets stuck with the most diapers? -At first, Asahi. But then after a while he decides Makki can’t keep avoiding it and gives him the baby right when they need a nappy change XD

Who is the stricter parent? - If we use the Pokemon au as a guide, Makki XD

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school? - They both would.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es)? - Again, they probably both do. Whichever one made the lunches usually does it but if they forget the other one steps in and does it.

Who is the more loved parent? - Uhhhhh they’re both the favourites of different kids. So, neither one is really more loved overall.

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings? - They both do.

Who cried the most at graduation? -Asahi, but Makki cries a little too.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law? -Makki.

Cooking:

Who does the most cooking? - Makki. It’s definitely Makki.

Who is the most picky in their food choice? -Asahi, he doesn’t like trying new things or spending too much on food.

Who does the grocery shopping? - Makki, since he cooks and knows better what he needs, but Asahi likes to help him.

How often do they bake desserts? - Asahi tries every year for Makki’s birthday. Makki can do it whenever he wants XD

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater? -I actually don’t know XD They might eat meat a lot but have salad with it.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner? - Asahi tries to but Makki succeeds.

Who is more likely to suggest going out? - Makki.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking? -Asahi.

Chores:

Who cleans the room? - They both do.

Who is really against chores? -If one gets lazy the other one does too and they just cuddle on the sofa and do nothing. 

Who cleans up after the pets? - If they each chose a pet they mostly clean up after the ones they chose, but they’ll both do it.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug? - They so both do this.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over? - Uhhhhh you know what? I don’t know. I guess maybe it would depend on who it was and whether they’d been lazy about their chores.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning? - Asahi and if it’s the football au Makki put it there just so Asahi would find it.

Misc:

Who takes the longer showers/baths? - Asahi but if they’re in there together they’ll be chilling for hours if they can.

Who takes the dog out for a walk? - They go together!

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays? - They will decorate for most holidays, and also for birthdays.

What are their goals for the relationship? - They don’t need goals they are goals.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon? - If they’re all cuddled up and have nowhere to be, both of them. But usually it’s Asahi XD he does not like getting up early.

Who plays the most pranks? -Probably Makki.

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day One Hundred Seventy-Two: Jumped the Fence ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata ] [ SasuHina, vulgarity ] [ Verse: Best Years of Your Life ] [ AO3 Link ]

“Go go go!”

Sneakers slap against the pavement, dogs barking in the wee hours of the morning. Flashlight beams cut through the darkness, voices shouting.

Ahead of the pair of cops, several teenage boys run like their lives depend on it. Which, given the punishments some of their parents might give them for being out this late past curfew, they might as well be.

“Scatter!” one then calls as they reach the mouth of an alley. They all part in different directions, forcing the two on their tails to hesitate before splitting up.

Doing his best to even out his breathing, Sasuke pumps arms and heads for a fenced yard. In a swift movement he vaults the tall boards, landing with a roll on the other side. Scuttling backward, he leans against it, covering his mouth in the crook of his sleeve to stifle the sounds of his breath.

Through a few knots in the wood, a flashlight beams streaks back and forth, dotting the house a few yards forward. Hardly daring to breathe, Sasuke waits until it vanishes alongside the fading sounds of footsteps to take a deep breath, sagging against the fence.

He is gonna kill Naruto for talking him into this…

Just a little jaunt through that demolished building! See if they could find anything cool left behind after it was condemned. Something to do on a Friday night, right? And then out came spray cans, rocks thrown to break any lingering glass. Of course someone was going to hear and call the cops! A whole pack of teenage idiots was going to attract attention at nearly two in the morning!

Now he’s going to have to find a way back home and hope none of the ruckus reaches his neighborhood and wakes his parents. It’s one thing to be caught out of bed this late...another to be out of the house...and another to have been hanging out with Naruto and his delinquent friends.

Sure, Sasuke tries to be wise for his age, but...sometimes you just need to do something stupid. Even if he wasn’t aware it was going to be that stupid. Wandering around an empty building seemed fine until everyone else started breaking things and tagging the walls…

Bracing his arms atop his bent knees, he takes a moment to catch his breath, waiting until the sounds of the chase end completely. Head bowed, it lifts only as he hears a sound.

A sliding door opens along the rear of the house, directly across the yard from him. And from it steps a girl about his age.

Abruptly, she comes to a halt, staring at him.

He stares back.

Thankfully she doesn’t scream - just...looks at him, wide-eyed.

“...uh…” Shit, he’s trespassing. “Hey, look - I, I was just -”

“Hinata, what’s all the ruckus?” a masculine voice calls from behind her.

Glancing over her shoulder, she hesitates. “...just the neighbor’s d-dogs, Dad. I’ll...go check the back gate.”

“All right. Go back to bed when you’re done.” There’s vague mutterings about, “Too old for this - work in the morning…” before Hinata closes the door.

She then looks to Sasuke again, expression suspicious.

By now, he’s staggered to his feet, hands held up in a gesture of peace. “I, uh…”

“Why are you in my yard…?”

“I…” He vaguely knows her - another one of the masses at his high school. “I was out past curfew, and uh...had to hide from some...cops.”

Well that sounds like shit.

“...cops?”

“I-it wasn’t me! Naruto and all his stupid friends -”

“Wait, Naruto?”

“...yeah?”

Something shifts in her expression. “Is he...a friend of yours?”

“Yeah…?” Or at least he was - he’s gonna have an earful for that blond idiot when they meet again.

“...oh…”

“...a-anyway, he dragged me out to that stupid shut down building on fourteenth. Said something about just...checking it out. Then he and Kiba started breaking shit and spraypainting. Someone called it in, and we had to run. I...hid here until they left. I swear, I wasn’t -”

Her head shakes. “I-it’s fine, I...know what you mean.”

“Oh…” Well...good?

“Naruto and I went to the same elementary school. He was, um...r-rowdy then,” Hinata affirms, giving a quick quirk of her lips.

“Yeah, well...rowdy doesn’t cover it now,” Sasuke mutters.

“Sorry he dragged you into that...um...are you okay?”

“Yeah, fine. Just hoping my ass isn’t in deep shit when I get home.”

A brow perks at his coarse language. “Do you...live very far from here?”

“A few blocks - it won’t take me long. Just hope none of those morons went that way and woke everyone up.” Sasuke sighs, rubbing at the rear of his neck. “M’gonna kill that idiot tomorrow…”

“I’m sure his godfather will already have words for him,” Hinata assures, giving a nervous smile.

“I’d hope so...but given his behavior, it doesn’t seem to be sinking in,” he scowls in reply. “You think he’d learn by now…” A pause, and then, “...but I guess I go along with it too. Think I need to adjust my priorities.”

An awkward silence then settles over them.

“...well, I...better go,” he then admits, glancing aside.

“Yeah...I think my dad went to bed, but he’d be pretty f-freaked out to see a boy in our backyard at this hour,” Hinata admits, giggling into a hand.

“Don’t worry, I’d tell him I wasn’t here to steal away his daughter,” Sasuke can’t help but sarcastically reply, earning another laugh.

“If anything, that would surprise him less,” she assures him.

“Oh really?”

“I’m not exactly, um...popular. This is a lot more likely than a boy sneaking in to see me.”

A brow perks. Seriously? She seems nice enough, and...he’ll admit, she’s sorta cute. Not that he’s really one to date, either. Mostly because he has the exact opposite problem, admittedly. “Hard as that is to believe...pretty sure he’d be pissed some random kid was in his yard at two on the morning, especially if he figures out I had cops on my ass. One of those ‘damn hooligans’, right?”

At his first words, Hinata goes a light shade of pink. “W-well...at least you’re not Naruto…?”

“Guilty by association, I’d bet.”

“M-maybe…”

Behind them, a light turns on in the second storey, and both turns look to it in surprise.

“Y-you better go!” Hinata insists, moving forward to shoo him toward a gate in the corner.

“All right, all right - maybe I’ll see y’around?”

“So long as it’s not this late,” she mutters in reply, earning a snort. “G-go!”

“I’m gone,” he assures her, giving a mock salute as she shuts it behind him.

“Hinata?” her father calls from the rear door.

“S-sorry! Uh...there was a racoon in the trash.”

“Don’t bother with that now, it’s late. Get inside and get to bed.”

“Coming!”

Listening as the door shuts behind her, Sasuke then looks up, watching until all the lights go off. Giving the street a glance, he finally finds it quiet. Well...time to head home and hope his dad isn’t gonna skin him alive. Naruto’s going to get his ass chewed out tomorrow...if he didn’t get caught, that is.

Sighing, he starts for home, sticking to the side roads to avoid being spotted. Well...at least he knows a good place to hide the next time Naruto gets him into trouble.

...maybe he wouldn’t mind it then.

                                                             .oOo.

     Well this is a lil rushed xD Busy day! But at least the prompt was actually pretty easy to come up with a story for. Poor Sasuke...always letting Naruto drag him into his shenanigans. But hey...at least he met a cute girl, right? ;3c      Anywhooo, I need sleep! Thanks for reading n_n

[archonfurina]

I met Plan today (12/04/2019)

and I wanted to write a post about the whole thing, from the beginning.. because man, this was a journey and we had to overcome SO MUCH 😂😂

LONG POST (with some pictures) under the cut lol

So a few weeks ago we all heard about Plan’s trip to Norway right? And I was like, happy but heartbroken, because Norway is so close but so far and there was no realistic way I’d be able to go see him there. But then he had the Attractor livesteam, and he said his family will travel to Finland on 14th. I screamed tweeted about it and a girl contacted me asking if I’d want to go see him at the airport together! We got to talking and became friends (I love her so much and none of this would have been possible without her) 😊

We were still thinking he’ll come on 14th, so I hadn’t bought any gifts or prepared anything. But then on 11th Plan tweeted things that made us think he was already leaving. We were SO confused and in a hurry my friend bought a ticket to the airport, which ended up for nothing because we then found out he didn’t leave yet 😑 So we were like, okay, guess he’ll really arrive on Sunday.

THEN came the morning of Friday 12th and I woke up at 8am, and I found out Plan had already been in the damn plane since 6am. Cue major freakout and texting to wake up my friend. Someone then told her (wrongly) that he’s actually going to Norway first. More confusion. But I noticed Prim posted a picture with Finnair’s logo on it, so yeah they were definitely coming here, not Norway. We then looked at the flight schedule, and his flight was two+ hours late, but we still bought tickets to go to the airport before the original arrival time. Which.. was really a 900 IQ decision from us, but I’ll come back to that.

So, I had to leave immediately because I wanted to take the bus to the mall to buy him a gift. I got him different Finnish candies and chocolate, a scarf (because it’s cold here and he NEVER wears enough clothing),a Moomin plushie, and hand cream (because of our cold and dry air). Some of the sweets I picked out I bought two so Prim and his parents can have some as well ^^ I had to buy them quickly so.. didn’t get to give him what I planned to :/

After shopping I had to go straight to the train station. There I found out my train is one hour late.. 🙄 So I had to buy another ticket to a different train. There the conductor said that all the tickets for the delayed train would be okay in this one too. Great! More wasted money on useless tickets! Lol.

Then my friend texts me she’s in her train, but it has broken down and stopped in the middle of nowhere WTF 😭😭 At that point I was really like.. losing hope. She ended up having to get off at a random station, then change trains twice to get to the airport. Everything was going the most difficult way possible and WE HADN’T EVEN GOTTEN TO HELSINKI YET. Jeez.

When we were both finally at the airport, we had lost so much time that the estimated arrival of the flight was in an hour and a half. We found the place where they’d come out and went to Starbucks next to it to talk and get coffee. I also got a croissant because I hadn’t had time to eat anything >.<

Eventually we saw the plane landed, but then there was a delay in the baggage claim 😑😑 So.. sometime forty minutes later.. We finally saw Plan!!!!!! And okay, I’m gonna just. calmly talk about this without caps. He was. Tall. And. wow.. I can’t even describe what it was like seeing him for the first time. I had to look away for a second because he was just.. He had this.. like.. aura about him. Like.. He was SO. COOL.

We were both so starstruck, we just froze 😂😂 My friend took this video of us realizing he walked right past us and following him XDD the video is so funny, she’s like ‘please do something!’ to me bc he was getting away XD and ‘omg he’s so adorableee and cute’. 💚💚

We catched up to them and I was like hi, sorry, we wanted to give you a gift, and Plan thanked me many times, and his mom and Prim looked happy ^_^. Plan said we can take a picture, before we even asked! And we were like omg really??!! And. Then we took pictures. They came out a little shaky because we both were so nervous. And we only talked a little, but ohmygod. His voice was so deep and he was taller than me but really lean and his hair and hoodie looked so soft. He was so kind and sweet but also really cool, like I said. And he said that he wishes to see us in Thailand 💚 His smile.. I was dead. After they left, my friend and I were hugging and freaking out, we were so happy. BUT MORE HAPPENED!!

Plan actually posted a lil boomerang video of my gift on his instagram story!!! And he never does that with individual gifts!!! But we were the only ones to welcome him and I was so so so happy to see his post 😭😭

And then!!! His mom posted a picture of him on Helsinki street and he had the scarf I gave him 💚 I hope he will stay warm with it, silly boy not wearing a jacket in freaking 3 celsius. I knew it. Still. I’m so happy. So, so happy. I love him even more after today, I didn’t know it was possible. This will not be the last time I’ll see him, I already want to meet him again. I’ll never get enough.

Chapter 1- Breaking The News

Ricky was walking wing in wing with Rosemary as they made their way to the sign of the chicken sanctuary, having told his brother and sisters the day before that there was something important he had to tell them. He was nervous about how they would take it so Rosemary tagged along for support

“How are you holding up, sweetie?” Rosemary gently squeezed his wing

“Dreadful.” Ricky sighs

“I’m sure they’ll understand why we’re doing this.” Rosemary glances at her husband

Ricky tensed up as he saw Lillian, Grayson and Ava waiting. Was it too late to turn around and head back to the privacy of his home? Heaven help him

“Hey. So what did you want to tell us?” Ava asks once her brother and sister in law were in earshot

“Well….I- we decided to….uh….” Ricky tries to break it to them slowly

“Out with it. We have places to be.” Lillian impatiently taps a foot on the ground. She had to meet up with Stella and a few other hens that had problems

“Ok, ok. Rosemary, Nicky, Vicky and myself are leaving the sanctuary.” Ricky takes a deep breath, pulling off the band aid and getting it over with

“Wait, are you serious? Please tell me this is some kind of a joke.” Grayson didn’t believe his young brother

“It’s true. We think it’s best if we move on to somewhere new, settle down at our forever home.” Rosemary speaks up

“But this is your forever home.” Ava rubs her comb in confusion

“For you guys, maybe. But not for us.” Ricky points to himself, then Rosemary

Lillian, Grayson and Ava were upset and in shock at the news. First Clementine left to be with her mate and now Ricky was leaving with his family. What was happening? Was this family starting to fall apart?

“What made you decide this?” Lillian couldn’t help but ask

“I thought about what was best for years to come later on down the road. I can’t be bound here anymore. Sure, it’s home but I want to find a home that’s meant for my family.” Ricky feels Rosemary give him a kiss on the cheek

“You’ll visit us, right?” Ava smiles

Ricky fell silent, glancing at his wife. They weren’t too sure if they could comeback to visit them

“Oh…” The ginger hen looks down at her feet

Ricky walked back to his hut with Rosemary, the three chickens watching in silence. They weren’t ready to bid farewell to their brother even if he got on their nerves some days. They always imagined the four of them living out their lives on the sanctuary, never leaving. This changed everything….

“What the cluck just happened?” Grayson sits down for a moment, still processing the news

“We’re losing our brother.” Ava replies

“I don’t like it as much as you guys, but it’s their choice. They’re adults.” Lillian looks at her siblings. She remembered that there were chickens she still had to help and rushed off without another minute to lose

“Bloody hell.” Grayson mutters and ran a wing over the top of his comb

“She’s right. It’s not up to us to decide what they do.” Ava sits down beside her older brother

“Sod off.” Grayson said

“Gray! Watch the language!” Ava shoves him a little forcefully

“I’m sorry. It’s just….I’m not ready for this. None of us are.” Grayson rubs his arm from where the hen pushed him

“I know. He may be a pain in the tail feathers but he’s still family.” Ava sighs softly, shaking her head

Neither one of them knew how they were going to break the news to their chicks or spouses. Speaking of chicks, Ricky and Rosemary still haven’t told Nicky or Vicky the news. The couple waited anxiously for their son and daughter to return home from hanging out with their cousins

“Ricky, I don’t like seeing you stressed out. You already started shedding feathers.” Rosemary picked up five feathers off of the floor when going over to her mate

“I can’t help it. You know they’re going to hate the move.” Ricky checks for a bald spot on his body

“They’ll have to deal with it.” Rosemary helps him look

“Deal with what?” Nicky and Vicky enter the hut. Here came the moment of truth

“Oh hey. Uh, your mom and I have something to tell you.” Ricky smiles nervously at his kids. Why did it feel like a million degrees all of a sudden?

“Like what?” Vicky glances between her parents

“We’re leaving the sanctuary.” Rosemary tells the two

“Unbelievable! This place is amazing and you want to throw it all away!” Nicky raises his voice, clearly upset that they’d be leaving behind their chickhood home

“Don’t start, mister. You’re going to deal with it and that’s final! Your father is already stressed enough as it is with this decision.” Rosemary scolds her son

“It’s still dumb.” Vicky huffs

“Yeah. I don’t want to leave.” Nicky glared at the adults

“Enough! Not another word!” Ricky yells at the young hen and rooster, both surprised at the outburst

“Ricky, calm down. I don’t want you to lose anymore feathers.” Rosemary soothes to her husband and gave him a pat on the arm. He had enough on his plate right now and he didn’t need to deal with Nicky and Vicky’s behavior

“Ok.” Ricky nods. He walked outside to get some fresh air and calm his nerves or at least try to

“You two better drop the attitude, you hear me?” Rosemary glared at her kids

“Yes mom.” They sigh in annoyance

“Good. We’re leaving tomorrow so go say your goodbyes to your friends if you have to. We probably won’t be able to visit once we leave.” Rosemary softens her expression

Nicky and Vicky left without saying another word to their mother. How could they leave a place as awesome as this? It didn’t make any sense

Ricky joined Rosemary after feeling slightly better. “I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

“I know.” Rosemary giggles

Lillian, Grayson and Ava stood at the other side of the island of the sanctuary at the crack of dawn, their kids and mates being there with them. They weren’t ready to say goodbye but it all things happen for a reason. Right? Mixed emotions welled up when Ricky, Rosemary, Nicky and Vicky showed up

“Don’t do anything stupid, you wanker.” Lillian warns the rooster

“I won’t, Lil. Jeez. Someone hatched on the wrong side of the nest.” Ricky holds up his wings, Inigo snickering at this

“Uncle Ricky? Will you promise to come visit?” Venus stares up at the green bandanna wearing rooster

“I can’t make any promises, sweetheart.” Ricky smiles softly at his niece

“You’ll remember me, right?” Venus began to tear up

“I’ll always remember you. That I definitely promise you.” Ricky picks up the little hen, holding her close to his body as he hugged her

The others finished up their goodbyes with the family and watched them head off. Ricky stopped and looks back when he was a ways away, seeing everyone in the distance. He lowered his tail feathers in sadness as he stared at them for a long moment. This was an exciting thing in his life but also an upsetting one

“We lost mom and now we lost uncle Ricky.” Alexander leans against his dad

“Yeah….” Grayson trails off. He watched his brother in the distance and sighs to himself. “Our family is broken.”

Hope you guys are enjoying the story so far! Grayson sweared like three times. He needs his mouth washed with soap xD until the next chapter!

BTS Reaction to S/O having a loud sneeze.

chimmyddimini Requested:

Could I request BTS reacting to their s/o whose rather tiny have a loud and powerful sneeze, like Taehyung kind of loud? This happens to me and it’s rather hilarious when people get shook from lil tiny me having a big ass sneeze XD .. please and thank you!

Summary: The one in which you have a loud sneeze.

Kim Seokjin:-

It was a special day for you today. You were sitting in front of Jin’s parents, getting to know them. It had already been 7 months of you both dating and Jin so desperately wanted you to meet his parents. And so you were dressed in one of your prettiest and cutest dress and ready to meet his parents. You were obviously nervous but also excited to know the people who gave birth to such a beautiful and perfect man.

All of you were seated on a  rectangular table with Jin besides you on your right, while his parents were right in front of you both. The conversations were going on smoothly and you were all having fun, with Jin cracking his dad jokes in between. 

The conversations had become a little quieter and chilled out and there was a comfortable peace on the table. It was at that time you felt your nose tingle and just a second later you sneezed. Now, even though you were a girl with a small frame your sneeze was one of the loudest, and this time it was no different. It was loud and embarrassing and everyone’s eyes were on you, rounded in shock. 

Jin would be the first one to laugh his famous windshield laughter while his parents too start chuckling. “Oh my God Y/n, can your sneezes get anymore louder?” He asked continuing to laugh.

“Yah!!!” You nudged Jin, cheeks flushing in embarrassment. 

“Who would expect such a small girl to have such a loud sneeze.”

“Jiiiiin,” You would whine but only a little, still aware of his parent’s presence. 

“Ohk Ohk I won’t tease,” Jin would say, barely holding his laughter. “But did you catch cold? o you want to visit a doctor?”

“No no, it was just that I was sprinkiling pepper and it got in my nose.”

“Oh then okay. But still Y/n your sneezes are cutest.” he would say as he continued to laugh along with his parents. 

Min Yoongi:-

It was late at night around 1:00 am and you were going through your social media. Your boyfriend, Yoongi was sleeping besides you. Actually you were supposed to be asleep too, according to Yoongi’s order, but you couldn’t sleep, so you decided to check your phone. 

And even though you knew very well if Yoongi woke up i=he would be very mad and normally you are very scared of a mad Yoongi but today you found the courage to rebel against him. 

And it was going all great and you were doing amazing work at hiding that you were not sleeping and enjoying your little late night when you felt the familiar feeling of your nose tickling. And the next second, “AAACHOOOO” you sneezed one of your loudest sneeze.

“Shit,” You cursed under your breath as the phone fell on your face, hurting your nose. What was worst, was you heard movement besides you and the light flooded in the room.

“Y/n, what the hell!! That scared me! ” Yoongi said, his voice sleepy and irritated. You picked up your phone that slipped from your hands and faced a very pissed looking Yoongi. “What were you up to?”

“Uh-uh I was just going to sleep,” You stammered, gulping. You gasped and frowned when your phone was snatched from your hands. 

“Its 1:00 in the morning, Y/n! I told you to go to bed by 11! Were you doing this the whole time?”

“Ye-yeah,” You whispered. “I am sorry,” You smiled the most innocent guilty smile you could muster and activating your puppy eyes. 

“You have work tomorrow Y/n, and then you complain about being tired.” Yoongi sighed already melting a little at the sight of your face.

“I am sorry! I promise I won’t do this again.”

“You better not,” Yoongi warned. “By the way, your sleeps keep getting louder and louder.” 

“So? What about it?” You asked a little embarassed.

“For a little girl you have it very loud, don’t you think?” He chuckled and you hit him lightly on his arms.

“Shut up! I am not short! And my sneezes are not that loud!”

“Yes they are,” Yoongi continued chuckling and engulfed you in hug stopping you from all movements. “But I like it. Helps me when you are being rebellious like this. Your sneezes are really useful and cute, though they surprise me sometimes.”

“I hate you,” You huffed.

“I love you too. Now sleep!” Yoongi replied as he pulled you closer and you snuggled deeper into his chest.

Jung Hoseok:-

“Woah!” You moved closer to Hoseok as the movie you both were watching took the scarier turn. 

It was Saturday night, Hoseok and your movie night, and today’s genre was horror. Well the thing was both you and Hoseok are not the bravest and get scared easily. 

“Why are we watching this again? When we are such scaredy cats?” Hoseok asked as he cringed at the scary music playing behind. 

“Cause I want to try getting over my fear of ghosts,” You replied even though you were not so sure that you wanted to continue. But you both continued, deciding to be brave. 

At that moment the music got faster and scarier and the female in the movie was moving towards a scary looking door to a scary room. And just then as she was opening the door, before you knew you sneezed. LOUD AND CLEAR, almost like a man’s sneeze. 

“AHHHH!” You were shocked when you saw you boyfriend scream at the top of his tongue and moved away from you, falling from the couch in the process. 

“Hoseok!” You gasped. “Are you okay?”

“What the heck Y/n!!!!” Hoseok exclaimed standing up. “You scared me!! Shit you scared me bad! How can such a small female like you have such a big and loud sneeze?!” 

“Hey!” You huffed, a little offended by the way he spoke. 

“I didn’t meant that way…” Hoseok said immediately as he saw your expression. “Its just that your sneeze always tales me by surprise or scare me.”

“Well I am sorry but you have to live with it.” You shrugged as you continued watching the movie. 

“I know,” Hoseok muttered. “I just hoped you didn’t sneeze during horror movies cause you sound possessed.” 

“I will try, but no promises,” you said sassily even though Hoseok didn’t expect a reply. 

“Good.” He grinned coming closer to you. “Now can we watch something else?”

Kim Namjoon:-

“Why the hell can’t you understand what I am saying Namjoon,” You huffed as you crossed your arms and glared at Namjoon.

“It’s you can’t understand, Y/n” Namjoon defended sounding tired. “How many times do I have to tell you that I was busy with work!”

“Work work work! That’s what you do all day!” You shouted back. “Don’t even have time for me anymore!”

“Y/n you know it is our comeback period right now! What do you expect from me? Spend the whole day with you?”

“You know that’s not what I meant!”

“Oh really? So what did you mean, Y/n?” Namjoon raised his eyebrows and you sighed. “I thought you understood me better!”

This has been going on for about over a month. Both of you fight a lot especially this past week. And you know the reason was the stupid cold you were suffering from and how Namjoon didn’t even bother to ask even once how you were doing.

“I know you are busy, but, you can give me five minutes of your day right?” You sighed, saddened. “You don’t even greet these days. Come home late and leave early, hardly talk. Is this how you show your love for me?”

“Well I am sorry I did that,” Namjoon answered sarcastically. “I thought you would rather let me sleep and rest so that i don’t get sick.”

Before you could answer, your nose tickled, yet again for the nth time that day and before you could stop it a loud sneeze left your mouth leaving both you and him shook. “Look I don’t have the power to fight right now,” you sighed as you scrunched your nose trying to stop it from burning.

“You have a cold,” realization hit Namjoon and you rolled your eyes. “why didn’t you tell me?”

“If only you let me, tell you,” You retorted.

“Shit,” Namjoon cursed as he moved closer to you. “I am so sorry babes.”

“it’s okay, just next time, at least spend a little time with me. 5 minutes is only what I ask, Joonie.”

“I know and I promise I will give you that” Namjoon smiled. “But Y/n, how do you have a sneeze louder than a man?”

“Namjoon!”

“What? Its true,” He laughed.

“It is not!”

“You have a sneeze louder than Taehyung, Y/n,” Namjoon laughed and you blushed in embarrassment. 

“So what if it is?” You asked, offended.

“Nothing, its just so funny and cute, I always am left shook,” He winked. “Now let’s go to the doctor, or else I will have to keep laughing.”

“Haha,” You mock laughed. “Very funny.”

“Yes very,” Namjoon laughed and you just huffed.

Park Jimin:-

You and Jimin were in the dance studio, where you were watching him dance. You always loved watching him dance and today was a special day you could do it. And he especially got ready for it because you were down with a cold and wanted someone to cheer you up.

He was dancing on lost, one of your favorite thing to watch anytime any day. You just adored watching it. He was on your favorite part of the song, when you felt the same sensation of the sneeze coming. Jimin’s eyes widened as he watched you mouth open to sneeze and he expected the loud noise of your sneeze coming but unfortunately it never came. It was one of those annoying sneezes which never came just gave you the feel of coming.

Jimin smiled in relief and continued to dance, and just as he turned to do a step, a VERY loud sneeze left your mouth. And the next thing you saw was Jimin slipping in shock and falling on his butt on the floor. “Shit,” You cursed as you got up and ran towards him, trying hard not to laugh at him..

“Ahh, Y/n,” He groaned. “Your sneeze really scared me!!”

“I am sorry,” You smiled apologetically, holding back the chuckles threatening to escape..

“How is it even so loud?” He asked as he sat up straighter and turned off the music with the remote control.

“How are you always so surprised and scared of it?” You retorted.

“Well you sneezed so suddenly and its not exactly low, so it is scary!!” Jimin replied back. “Also it always surprises me so much.”

“What the hell,” You mumbled. “I never thought a man would get scared of a sneeze.”

“Any man would get scared of that loud sneeze.” Jimin replied and you scowled.

“I am not talking to you,” You huffed as you turned around.

“Sorryyyyyy, to be honest I find them so cute afterwards” Jimin smiled his adorable puppy smile and your heart immediately melted. “By the way, let’s o get your medicine.”

Kim Taehyung:-

“Ah! What a save,” You said as you pressed the buttons on your remote control and controlled the character in the video game. You were just about to lose, but your amazing game skills saved you.

“Not gonna last for long though,” Taehyung smirked. “You are soon gonna lose.”

“Keep on dreaming. I am surely gonna win this round.”

“Aren’t you saying that for like last 5 rounds?” Taehyung teased. 

You huffed. “This time, I really will,” You declared determinedly.

But just as you said that, your nose started tickling and the urge to cover your nose and mouth kicked in but you ignored it and focused on your game.

And just after few seconds, you sneezed, loud and clear shaking yourself and even your boyfriend besides you. “Ah!” Taehyung screamed and started laughing as both the characters died due to your sneeze.

“Y/N!!” Taehyung shouted and stood up trying to look upset fighting the amused smile threatening to appear on his face.

“What?! Even I lost!” You retorted.

“Then why did you have to sneeze so loud?” Taehyung asked sitting back down a and letting chuckles he was holding escape. “It’s just so damn funny.”

“Don’t laugh,” you sighed. “I really wanted to win.”

“So you should keep your sneezes low.”

“Talking the guy who has one of the loudest sneeze I know.”

“Well I am man, obviously I will have a loud sneeze,” Taehyung countered smirking trying to look cool but turning out to be adorable. “You are girl and that too so small and then you sneeze so loud, always surprises and shocks me.”

“Well not like I can change that!” You rolled your eyes.

“I know,” Taehyung smiled. “I like your sneeze actually. We match better! So let’s not change! And then let’s sneeze together to scare people.”

“What are you even saying,” You laughed as you hugged him totally surprised by his cuteness. “Our conversation doesn’t even make sense.”

Jeon Jungkook:-

It was kind of a cold day, with cold wind blowing. But you loved winters, so you and your boyfriend, Jungkook were out for a walk till the park. 

“Aren’t you cold?” Jungkook asked as he slid his hands deeper into his jacket.

“I am,” You replied, your cheeks getting rosier as you smiled, “But I like cold weaather.”

“I am worried you will catch cold,” Jungkook sighed as you both continued walking. 

“I won’t,” You waved his concern off and skipped towards the park. There were really few people and you liked it that way. Another reason to like winter. 

It was 5 minutes after entering the park that you started to feel the tingling sensations in your nose. And now you were sure that you had caught the cold, and all you could do is get it all out. So you started to sneeze. But the problem was, your sneezes were loud and continuous.

You sneezed 6 loud times continuously. “Y/n,” Jungkook laughed as he looked at you flushed face as you tried to catch your breath. “I knew you sneezed loud but like this? 6 time is a row?”

“Yah! Jeon Jungkook!” You tried to say but another sneeze interrupter you and followed another sneeze. “Shit!”

“I told you not to come out!” Jungkook said between his laugh. “Damn that was so meme worthy! If only I recorded it!”

“I thought you were worried about me,” You huffed.

“I am,” Jungkook laughed. 

“You don’t look like it.”

“But your sneezes, they are so funny! Such a short little girl sneezing o loud and so many times, its so damn funny!”

“They are annoying!”

“They are equally fun! Makes me want to record you and show it you to show how cute and funny you look.” 

“Ah my nose still tickles,” You complained as you rubbed your nose.

“Oh I should keep my camera ready then! I will show everyone that you sneeze as loud as V hyung!”

“Yah!”

“Ok ok sorry!” Jungkook laughed. “Let’s go home and get you some cold medicines. And next time listen to me.”

“As if, I will listen,” You smirked and started running as soon as you said that, with Jungkook chasing you. 

=============================================================

I hope you like it! Sorry its a little late! Enjoy and do let me know in the asks if you liked it or not!!

REQUESTS ARE OPEN

REQUESTED

[kinkyacademia]

May I request Shinsou spending a nice Christmas Eve in matching onesies that his girlfriend's mom sent them? Maybe they are relaxing on the couch watching a movie or playing a bored game? (My mom gave me a Hogwarts one with a cape, for an early Christmas present XD )

My writings are so short today, rest in pieces Sour. *black parade as my anthem* anyway, I never wrote for Shinsou really, except for a couple times. This being only my second request, I hope they still work for you my Lil’ Lemon Drop.

Mod SourPatch 🎄 🎄 🎄

⚖️ When you invited him over to your a dorm for a christmas present he didn’t know what to expect. Even more so when you told him it was from your mother.

⚖️ This boy hadn’t meet your parents in person yet, only on video calls here and there so saying he was nervous was an understatement.

⚖️ The look on his face was pure shock when he saw you in a kitty onesie of your favorite color, and holding up a much larger purple one.

⚖️ Lots of selfies. He looked annoyed, but he loved it. The picture was his phone background, and your mother had it framed in her living room.

⚖️ He didn’t take it off at all during the game of life, or when watching Christmas movies, he just unbuttoned a bit in the front if he got to warm.

⚖️ Can you say Kigu sleepovers?

⚖️ It became a tradition after that, to attend Christmas parties with your family in the matching cat kigus.

The Arrow and the Flame, xv

part xiv

Summary: Things fall apart. At least you have Yondu, who’s seen the worst the galaxy has to offer.

A/N: Because I’m so ahead on writing this, this chapter feels like NOTHING in comparison to what I just wrote today XD I’m sure you have some idea of what I’m getting at if you’ve seen both movies. So, ya know, there’s lots more drama to come.

Words: 2,648

~~~

The closer you and Yondu became, the further your parents got from one another. You built one relationship up into a sturdy place to call home and watched another crumble at the same time. It didn’t seem fair or right, and you almost never wanted to talk about what you were watching, but it was happening nonetheless.

You and Reyus spent most of your days helping Yondu control himself and the arrow. He learned quickly, and you were proud of him. The only thing holding him back, at the end of the day, was himself. After a few months, he came to terms with the fact that maybe he would never be completely free from the defenses he put up as a battle slave, though. The anger was still there. The desire to let go of himself still pushed through in every fight.

“Survival instincts are hard to change,” you said, as if you knew what it was like. You tried to understand, though, and you hoped he saw that.

Judging by his nod, rather than a harsh rebuttal, you thought he might.

The three of you left the sparring room, heading toward the cafeteria. You ignored the sweat that covered each of you, knowing you wouldn’t be the only ones smelling in the communal eating space. Maybe it would be gross, but Ravagers were known for worse things.

“Captain Ogord sees your progress, Yondu,” Reyus said. They smiled, you hoped for Yondu’s sake. Without ever having spoken about it with them, you knew they were still loyal to your mother. You were just nervous about what that was soon going to mean, given how volatile your parents were.

“Don’t feel like progress,” Yondu said. “Feels like I been fightin’ this my whole life.”

You grabbed his hand, almost on instinct. “Maybe you have,” you said. “Maybe you’ll fight it the rest of your life. But you won’t be alone.”

He smile at you, nodded, and squeezed your hand.

When you left the sparring corridor, you saw Kraglin running toward you. He stopped short and, between heavy breaths, said, “Cap’n’s docked on Contraxia for the night. Cafeteria’s a ghost town.”

You looked at Yondu. “Up for some noodles?” you asked.

He nodded.

You looked at Reyus, then Kraglin and asked them, as well. Everyone gave affirmative gestures, so you smiled and said, “In that case, I’m gonna go get a shower. Meet by the main door in 30.”

You and Yondu walked around Kraglin and headed to the stairs to the second deck. It was still unoccupied, so for the most part, the two of you had moved up there. You had soap and towels in the bathroom (and frequently indulged in the luxury of the bathtub), and you’d brought changes of clothes and little trinkets to one of the bunks along the hall. Sometimes you woke up staring into the face of the little naked Troll Reyus had given to Yondu months ago.

You took a quick shower together with little distraction - which was an oddity - then got dressed. You’d hung a tight black dress on the back of the bunk door a few days before, so you changed into that and paired it with your usual boots. Maybe they were a bit mismatched, but you didn’t care much. Yondu’s face - a wicked smirk, a raised brow, and a fire in his eyes - told you exactly what you needed to know: he approved.

“I guess we’re goin’ dancin’ tonight?” he asked, stepping close to you.

“I’d like to,” you said, assessing his outfit.

He was wearing the shirt he’d worn under his maroon suit to the promotion ceremony and a pair of light trousers, with the same standard boots you had, of course. He pulled on a short black jacket, pushed the collar up, and winked at you.

“I like this,” you said, running your hands over the sleeves of the jacket.

“Kraglin gave it to me,” he said. “Said it was too big on ‘em.” He turned and held his elbow out for you.

You wrapped your arm around his and followed as he lead the way down to the main door. “We’re eating first,” you said. “I’m starving.”

“Ya ain’t,” he said, but the good natured smile on his face told you he was just joking. “Yer just cute.”

“Yeah,” you said, “and it’s exhausting! I need my spicy noodles!”

“Spicy noodles sounds fantastic,” Reyus said as they came down the hall. They looked at you and Yondu and wiggled their eyebrows. “Well hello, you two look hot!”

You shrugged. “Tell me something I don’t know,” you said.

Kraglin came around the corner, still in his Ravager garb. “We’re good, right? I could eat a whole Xandarian hog right now.”

“We’re good,” you said. “But you didn’t want to change?”

He shrugged. “The Bots here don’t care if I’m in leather or denim.”

You stopped. You’d forgotten about the bots - not that you needed to worry about them. It was just odd to think of Kraglin, who was still a kid to you, with one of them. Still, he was a Ravager. Just… a young one.

“Fair enough,” Reyus said as they lead the way off the ship.

It was, of course, snowing on Contraxia. You immediately regretted the dress, even if it did look good. It went past your knees, but your calves were instantly cold. At least your toes were covered. It’d be a bit before you started shivering.

Still, you wrapped your other arm around Yondu’s and stayed close to him as you made your way out. The four of you were rather quiet as you passed the red light district - honestly there wasn’t much room to talk there. The music was loud, the Ravagers were loud, and the lights were bright. It was everything anyone wanted on Contraxia, but it wasn’t quite good for conversation.

When you made it to the diner, you sighed at how warm it was inside. You found a booth, slid into it, and waited for everyone else to go through the menu. Within a couple of minutes, everyone had ordered.

Reyus sighed. “So… how come you’ve never brought any of us here?”

“I been here,” Yondu said.

Reyus lowered their gaze. “You brought the newbie here but not me?”

You shrugged. “You’ve never shown interest in this place,” you said. “From the time we were allowed off the ship here, you always went with the rest of the crew.”

“I like to dance!” they said.

“I ain’t been here, if that makes it better,” Kraglin said.

“Thanks, but it doesn’t,” they said. “(Y/N), we’ve been friends for our whole lives!”

“And I like noodles,” you said. “I’ve tried to get you to come here with me. You were never interested!”

They paused. “No you haven’t.”

“Yeah, I did,” you said, nodding. “You basically told me what you just said. You like to dance!”

“You been comin’ here all alone for years?” Yondu asked, looking at you.

You shrugged again. “Not a lot of us make it past the Iron Lotus. I’m not that big of a fan of it.”

“You sound just like your dad,” Reyus said, sitting back against the booth.

You raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“He swears he hates that place every time we go. No one believes him, though,” they said. “He’s the first one in and the last one out.”

“He’s...the captain,” you said.

“Dependin’ on his mood, he could spend the most money there, too,” Kraglin said.

“Yeah, and at least we know you come out and do normal people things instead of, like, Ravager things,” Reyus said. “Aleta’s tired of hearing him complain if he just complies anyway.”

You crossed your arms and looked out the window. The last thing you really wanted to do was talk about your parents. They had enough drama between them to keep the whole ship entertained for a year - and you wanted to be left out of it. It was easier, that way.

“(Y/N),” Reyus said.

You didn’t look at them.

“Did I say something wrong?” they asked.

Yondu threw an arm across the back of the booth, his fingers landing on your shoulder. “Maybe don’t bring the ship drama out here, yeah?” he asked. He rubbed your exposed shoulder gently.

You shut your eyes and sighed. Of course it was going to follow you. All you saw behind your eyelids was your mother throwing punches at your father because she felt left out of important decisions. They weren’t partners, like they let on. That, more than anything, really bothered you.

“Sorry,” Reyus said.

You heard the clanking of plates and felt the table vibrate slightly in front of you. Turning back to the table, you opened your eyes and dug right into your bowl. No one spoke for a while, or at least you don’t remember anyone having said anything. When everyone was done, you split the bill and headed back to the Iron Lotus.

“What’s so special ‘bout this place anyway?” Yondu asked as Kraglin and Reyus headed in.

You crossed your arms and shrugged through a shiver. He looked at you with concern in his eyes as you huddled closer to him.

“Cold?” he asked.

You nodded. Without hesitating, he took his black jacket off and put it over your shoulders.

“Guess we ain’t goin’ to that lil’ park ya like,” he said.

You smiled but shook your head. “I like dancing, too,” you said, walking up to the bar.

He followed you inside as you went to the bar. You ordered a drink, Yondu ordered one for himself, then you waited. Even though the Iron Lotus had an open entrance, it was much warmer among all the bodies than it was outside, in the snow. The room got even warmer when you had your drink to sip.

Drinks in hand, you pulled Yondu to the dancefloor - or what was meant to be a dancefloor, you thought. There was a DJ in the corner playing a song you didn’t know, a song that felt and sounded like any other song this establishment would play at any given moment. The floor was trashed and full of bodies - some dancing, some flirting, some kissing and groping. It really wasn’t your ideal place to be, but you’d grown up with it. You were used to it.

You held tight to the glass in one hand and Yondu’s hand in the other, turning yourself around beneath your arms until you faced him. He brought you close with that free hand, keeping it at the small of your back. You moved together - against one another, around the room (as best as you could), and to the bar to get more drinks. This time you made sure to pay with your own credits - Yondu as well, now that he had a good amount saved.

Three drinks and too many songs deep, and the two of you were on your own planet. You didn’t care that people kept bumping into you when you danced. You didn’t care when some Targonian spilled their drink on your boots, mostly because the drink didn’t seep into the material. You kept your body close to Yondu’s, loving the feel of his hands all over you in time with whatever beat was blasting at any given moment.

Somewhere in the midst of everything, a loud fight started. You tried to pay it no mind; it wasn’t out of the ordinary on Contraxia. You wanted to keep dancing, to keep kissing Yondu like the grungy world around you didn’t exist. But then the music cut off, and Yondu stopped dancing. You looked him in the eye, saw how serious he’d become, and turned around to face the rest of the room.

In the middle of everything was your mother, standing on a table, her hair falling all around her in a heavy curtain. She was screaming louder than you’d ever heard her.

“You fucking liar! I stuck by you my whole damn life, and for what?!” She looked down, watching as your father approached her from the rentable brothel rooms.

“I don’t know, Aleta, you tell me!” he said.

“We gave you everything, Stakar. We gave you your name, your rank, your money. We gave you the means to start a faction, the Alliance, a goddamn Ravager empire, just for you to fuck me over in favor of your selfish ambitions!” she screeched.

“You deluded yourself into believing any of this,” he said, holding his hands out to gesture around the room, “could be led by two people!”

Your mother stepped down from the table slowly, one contemplative step at a time. Her back arched back and forth, meaning her breaths were heavy and ragged. She stood right against your father so you had to walk around the crowd to be able to see them.

“You selfish, ungrateful bastard,” she said. “We should have left you on Terra where we found you.”

“Maybe,” your father retorted. “But that doesn’t make you any more of a Captain. You are not a Captain, Aleta. You are not my partner or my equal. You’re a pisspoor excuse of an Arcturian, at best.”

Your mother didn’t waste time with slapping. She pulled up one of her pre-balled fists and slugged it across your father’s face. He was bleeding again, but this time, you didn’t want to intercede. Not even a little.

“You hate me so much you come out here to fuck your little toys, then you come back and insult me in front of our people. People I helped you get, Stakar. Remember that the next time you lie to a pretty girl with a head full of dreams,” she said.

You weren’t sure why she was going so easily on him now, in relative terms anyway. Her words meant nothing to you, but they obviously meant something to your father. He held his bleeding nose between two fingers as his eyes widened. Everyone watched as your mother spit at his feet, turned on her heels, and left the Iron Lotus behind for the night.

You wanted to scream. You could have, if you weren’t frozen in place. You’d tried so hard to avoid seeing them together, knowing something like this was inevitable. And yet, it still followed you. It was like the Stars wanted you to know what a sham your parents’ marriage was. Maybe they were setting an example, but it was one you hated seeing.

“You wanna leave?” you heard over your shoulder.

You turned to face Yondu, unsure of what to do at first. You didn’t know where your mother was going, but you didn’t want to be wherever that was. The Iron Lotus didn’t really offer you anything anymore, since there was a semi-permanent sour taste in your mouth. Alcohol wouldn’t be able to wash it away. Maybe he could, though.

You nodded. He took the glass from you, put it on some dark surface, then led the way out. You swore you heard someone calling your name behind you, but you refused to look back. Everything behind you was in shambles, but there was a bright blue light ahead of you, and that was much easier to focus on and follow.

You stayed as close to him as you could, pulling his jacket around you. The wind on Contraxia was barely existent, but the air was freezing and you were past buzzed at that point. You just wanted to sit down, have Yondu hold you, and sleep for the next year.

He found a place to stay for the night. You couldn’t tell if it was the same place you stayed before, but it didn’t matter. It was a small room and a small bed, but you were asleep before you could think about either of those things.

Nessiah 1-11; Mason 12-21; Malik 22-32!

Nessiah: 

1. What is their favorite word

Dick 

2. How do they sleep

Tbh he sleeps w his face pressed into Xero’s bara tiddies most the time

but also he at times sleeps on Xero’s back, w Xero draped over him like a blanket, or curled up tight against his back so ye

3. Favorite companion

All his birbs. Every single one of them.

Also his best friend, Aileen. 

4. What secrets do they keep, untold to anyone?

Honestly? I have no idea. Nessiah doesn’t really keep any secrets I don’t think...

5. How do they feel about magic

He’s interested in it and wishes he could use it

6. How do they feel about killing 

Nessiah is REALLY against killing! He thinks people only should kill if they have to. 

And even then, he himself is wary about hurting others or anything. I mean, he is a pacifist. 

7. How do they feel at night, in silence, all alone?

Nessiah gets anxious and wants companionship

8. Tell me about them in a modern AU

I mean.. me and Angel have several “modern au” stuff of them... so...

well! we created this one AU where Xero was a principle and Nessiah is a teacher and they are 100% completely and totally married and Xero even keeps a picture of them together on his desk but Xero doesn’t want other people to know about it because of the age difference (tho Nessiah gdaf and he’s an adult anyways so...) 

But! Yeah Nessiah keeps up w Xero’s wishes but is really cryptic about it so all the students in the school ship them together and its a huge conspiracy that they are secretly married. 

And yeah its a dumb AU lol 

9. What is their favorite meal

EVERYTHING but Nessiah really appreciates pasta- especially spaghetti 

10. What guides them

His gut feeling 

11. What hinders them

Nessiah is gullible tbh and also inexperienced in life as well. He is also prickly toward others and isn’t the easiest person to get along with. He also doesn’t listen to instructions well at all and will do the exact opposite of what you say 

Mason: 

12. Do they have hidden talents

I mean. He’s very academically gifted and studious... patient too.. idk if you count those things tho as they aren’t really hidden so I guess not. 

13. How do they carry themselves

Tbh Mason slouches a lot and sometimes has to use a cane to walk around. He kinda hobbles and walks slow

14. What are their vices

Honestly? Knowledge/learning something new and doing stuff he knows his parents wouldn’t approve of

15. What was a turning point in their life

Meeting Roth tbh 

16. Do they ascribe to any religion

Tbh not really? He’s just. be a theist I guess but call himself a Christian. 

17. How do they react to trauma

He would close up in on himself and lock himself away in his room 

18. What is their relationship to their parents

His mom loves him and tho she doesn’t agree with his “choices” in friends and thinks that him being involved with a man is wrong, she just wants him happy and knows Roth will always look after Mason and it calms her insistent worry over him. She and Mason are quite close and love each other a lot. 

Mason’s father is a little more strained. His father also worries about him a lot and tries to order him around and keep him locked up, making Mason bitter. His father doesn’t approve Roth at all, and is disgusted his son would be involved with someone who is black and a man as well. He is always constantly waiting for Roth to slip up just a little so he can arrest him. Despite those things, however, he really does love Mason and wants the best for him and Mason can’t bring himself to be resentful toward his own father. 

19. Do they have siblings

Nope! Mason is an only child 

20. Tell me about their love interests

Well obv Mason is in love with Billroth, who runs a gang and isn’t... the best sorta person. But Billroth is warm, true, and has a good heart despite his issues and addictions and Mason know he is loved. 

21. What sexuality/gender suits them

Mason is asexual, biromantic, and is cis male!

Of course, none of those terms existed in his time period, so I guess he would identify as just being bisexual. 

Malik: 

22. Tell me about their body, are they tall, or smol

As a child, Malik is short and smol and has a lil pudge

As an adult, Malik gets taller and gets quite toned- esp his upper body as he’s a swimmer ;3c 

23. What is their combat style and weapon of choice

Malik!! Does not fight!! He is a precious boy!! 

24. Do they have any fears/phobias

Malik is cautious and gets nervous quite easily. He’s terrified of disappointment, being rejected, failure, and being forgotten. 

25. Do they follow their instinct or hard facts

Instinct!

26. How do they cope with sorrow

Not... well... he closes up in on himself and kinda goes catatonic and cries a lot. He gets emotional very easily.

27. What makes them burst out laughing

Ry acting silly and like a cat! animals doing silly things in general 

28. Tell me about their grooming routine

Malik just... showers then brushes his hair he doesn’t really care much for appearances. 

29. What makes them blush

Ry, getting things wrong and being wrong, realizing he said something wrong, and yeah 

30. What makes them cry

Well... obv his triggers (being in a locked room, being trapped in general, and denim.... I think that’s all of them) 

And he cries when he gets frustrated, when he doesn’t understand smth, and yeah

31. Tell me about their aesthetic

Already answered!

32. If they had a tumblr, what would they post

Tbh he would have a blog all about cephalopods- such as images and fun facts and would end up with a lot of followers bc of that XD

KCON LA 2017 fanaccount!!

part 1: Seventeen-teen-teen (I got to hi-touch them!!!) and a bit of VIXX~ 

Oh my goddd it's past 2 am as I'm writing this and I'm really worn out + still going to the convention tomorrow (Astroooo) but I wanna write this up before I go to sleep and forget 😂😂😂

First a bit about day 1, my early morning flight got delayed so I was like 😱 bad omens but the convention check-in line was amazingly smooth this year, I was prepared to wait hours in the hot sun from what I'd read online about previous years???? That didn't happen so 👍🏽

I was praying to get a Seventeen or GOT7 hi-touch with my ticket (to be clear, I only wanted GOT7 to trade for Seventeen 😉) but I got SF9 instead. Which is fine, I would've been happy to do SF9's hi-touch if I hadn't gotten Seventeen. I spent most of Friday in the trading area desperately looking for a Seventeen hi-touch, and was almost resigned to my fate/actually bought an Astro hi-touch because I thought I wouldn't get Seventeen. But one popped up at the last minute!!! I was expecting to be asked to pay $400+ and I love Seventeen but I'm not willing to spend that much money just for a hi-touch, but the seller was really kind so it worked out!!! 

I don't think I really did much else Friday, just walked around looking at merch and wondering whether to buy or not 😂 I filmed myself saying random stuff about the convention to my sister! She's at school so she couldn't come with me 😓

Saturday morning I woke up and had a few minutes of panic because HOLY CRAP I'M SEEING SVT TODAY. I GET TO TOUCH SVT TODAY. It was totally unreal and I wasn't even at the event or even the convention yet, I was literally in my bed 😂 I couldn't believe it was really happening!

I felt really bad because I sold the two Seventeen audiences I got on Friday as contingency, and I know my fellow Carats really wanted that hi-touch 😭 I'm sorry Carats!!! Next time!!!

I went to the Carat fan meeting event for a bit, it was pretty cute! I've never seen so many Carats in my life before 😂 so many of them came with their parents too~

Around noon or so I was just sitting outside the expo hall and I noticed people were starting to line up, so I went over and asked what was going on. Supposedly ~some idols~ were gonna come through, maybe VIXX! So I stuck around - I wasn't planning to go to VIXX's fan engagement because it was right before Seventeen's, and I needed to line up for a good view for Seventeen 😂 

I want to say it was anticlimactic, but it kinda wasn't? Sure, I was waiting there for a while, and I'm short so it was hard to see what was going on. And when they actually came through, they walked so fast I didn't have time to react! I wanted to shout Hakyeon's name but it all happened so fast that I couldn't get the words out 😂

But I did see them in real life! I was literally like, 5 feet away from them?? Hyuk was first and I actually wasn't sure if it was him for a second, either I've been out of VIXX for too long or he looks different in real life? Probably at least a bit the latter, haha. Not in a bad way tho! His face just looks softer in real life. Also, he's really tall! But at the same time, not as tall as I expected? Like, it felt like I was expecting all of them to be almost larger than life. It was really amazing seeing them in real life and just having that world-changing reality check that yeah, these are real, living, breathing humans who just happen to be celebrities. They looked so....normal, in a way? Like I see them and I realize that in some other universe where they're not idols, they're just regular people I might've known. Idk if this is making any sense, haha. Of course I've been aware of the fact that I shouldn't put idols on a pedestal - VIXX themselves have definitely taught me some lessons about how to deal with it when idols that I love do problematic things - but it's one thing to accept intellectually that idols aren't perfect, and another to actually have them in front of you without any of the usual digital barriers, just casually walking by like any other stranger you pass by on the street every day. So yeah, overall it was pretty amazing to see them, really refreshing in a way, even if it was only for a few minutes, if that. 

Mm anyway, Hongbin looked as pretty as ever and Wonshik was really charismatic (although I wish he had smiled). I remember while I was doing my research for KCON tips and tricks, someone said Jaehwan looks like a doll in real life? Whoever that was, you're totally right. Can confirm. I was a bit surprised honestly, I never thought of him as a top visual in VIXX but he's astoundingly pretty. Taekwoon.....lmao I'm so sorry, I literally don't recall seeing Taekwoon 😂 I must've been distracted 😕

Overall I was pretty pleased with my luck XD I totally forgot that they were coming to the expo hall at all and I'm glad I was there just in time. Most importantly, I was really glad I'd seen VIXX first, because I felt a lot more prepared for Seventeen after that 😂

Also Kevin Woo (U-KISS' Kevin) walked past me on his way to a panel, so that was kinda cool. 

It was still more than two hours until Seventeen's engagement, but I saw one of my twitter mutuals said they were already lining up for it??? So I hurried over and got in line. The fan engagements are all standing, no seats for some reason, so I really wanted a good view 😂 I talked to people in line, and made a new friend! That was actually one of my biggest fears about KCON - I'm really shy about talking to people, and I also kind of feel out of place among KCON fans. That's still kinda true, but at least I made one friend 😄

I was so nervous while I was in line, and I don't think I stopped being nervous until Seventeen had come in and were on stage, tbh. Seeing them in front of me was so calming ❤️ It was so nice being surrounded by so many Carats tho! On the screen in the hall they were playing MVs of the artists in the lineup and everyone was cheering and singing along for Don't Wanna Cry. 

I recorded the whole fan engagement session including Seventeen walking in and I can upload that later, so I'll just toss out the things that stuck in my memory:

-I was WHOLLY unprepared for Jun to walk out first?????? He looks like a goddamn elf in real life, he's so beautiful. I'll still grumble about his hair being blond and grumble a bit louder about how he should eat more and fill out those cheeks again, but he's so beautiful. Similar to Hyuk, not as tall as I expected (also, I think he just has lousy posture). 

-Dino????? Is so tol???? But also so smol?????? Also I'm sorry, this is going to sound REALLY weird, but his head is kinda big proportional to his body? 😂😂😂😂😂 he's still a cutie tho. 

-Coups was so excited and happy, he was smiling and waving with both hands and I swooned. His black hair is gorgeous and I feel so blessed. 

-Jeonghan had glasses!! I swooned again. 

-Seungkwan is ADORABLE. I think up until he came out I'd just been cheering, not yelling members' names, but when he came out I just suddenly found myself screaming his name lmao. I love him ❤️

-I'm not a makeup expert by any means so I could be wrong, but they all seemed to have pretty heavy makeup on? Not a bad thing at all!!! Just a comment. It made all of them look really gorgeous. Especially Woozi, his skin looked so pristine and soft. 

-I kept waiting for Hoshi but he never came 😔 I hope he's resting well and that he isn't too sick!!!

It's getting a bit late haha so I'll skip the actual session for now and talk about the hi-touch, since I don't have a video for that! They made us put our phones away, although one of the girls with me just left her phone recording in her pocket 😮 tips for next time!!

So my plan was to alternate saying 수고했어요 (you've worked hard) and 건강하세요 (be healthy) because I knew I wouldn't have time to say both to each member, and they were all close together so I hope they each heard both phrases 😅 and I was planning to speak English to Joshua and say "take care of your health", and Mandarin - 您辛苦了 (you've worked hard) and 祝您身体健康 (be healthy) - to Jun and Minghao. I really wanted to say something meaningful in the short time I had! I didn't want to say something as trite as "saranghaeyo" or anything. 

Actually my rehearsed lines went pretty well, I should really give myself more credit for that. I couldn't really tell if they were more happy to hear my message than normal - of course they're always happy to meet their fans, but I couldn't tell if they were more happy than that to hear their native languages, ya know? I hope they appreciated it though 😓 ironically I actually stumbled on the English - I don't remember why, maybe I looked at Jisoo's face or something haha, but I suddenly got really shy and instead said "thank you for coming" while not looking him in the eye. He thanked me though, and I could hear the smile in his voice 😌

I'm really mad at myself about the eye contact thing though! I keep feeling bad about not looking some members in the eye; I hope they know it's out of shyness and not because I love them any less! Honestly I have this problem in real life too, my eyes will just wander during conversations 😒 I need to fix this (and not just for if I ever meet Seventeen again 😂)

Individual impressions:

-Woozi, oh, Woozi, my poor Jihoonie. He seemed super exhausted. I don't want to cause any trouble but I think Carats understand - he seemed really happy to see his fans, but at the same time very tired. His smile seemed like one of those polite smiles, but like I said, I totally understand. His lil dimples were really cute too! Also, he has a really manly vibe? LOL idk he’s so smol but also surprisingly manly????

-Seokmin, my sunshine, I think I might've talked over him by accident?????? Lmaooo I have no idea, it happened really quickly. As I was moving from Jihoon to Seokmin I think Seokmin was saying something to me, probably just hello, but I couldn't hear and by the time I realized, I was already opening my mouth to talk. I can't really remember much about his face or expression or anything but I remember getting the vibe that he was a really sweet person. It was probably his smile 😍

-Joshua: see above. I'm sorry babe! I love you, I'm just shy!

-Seungkwan, my baby boo, I'm so sorry, I barely remember hi-touching him 😭😭😭 if I ever see you again Seungkwan, I'll give you lots of love!

-Jeonghan, my angel, I think I was also too shy to look at him? I don't remember his face 😂😂😂 I love you Jeonghan! 😭

-Vernon, oh my god, Hansol, my child. He said hello to me as I moved up to him with his like, classic crooked grin and I about died on the spot. His voice is so lovely, oh my god, and the way he was smiling with his eyebrow quirked I just can't! I didn't realize until way way later that he'd talked to me in Korean (or rather, the importance of that fact). I wonder if he thought I was Korean because he heard me speaking Korean to Jeonghan? I'm under no illusions here about my Korean ability lol so I'm not sure. Either way he seemed really excited to be hearing Korean spoken to him and my heart melted when I realized that. I had purposely decided that I was going to speak Korean to Hansol for this very reason - because I remember reading about how he's lived in Korea for so long and how he said before he identifies more with his Korean side. I figured he'd appreciate a message in Korean and I feel really proud that I was right. 

-Mingyu, my darling, I think I was still freaking out from talking to Hansol lmao. I love Mingyu more than....a lot of things but he didn't make much of an impression on me? Like, he was exactly how I expected him to be, no more, no less - very tall, very beautiful, very excited. It's not a bad thing 😂😂😂 thank you for saving my heart, darling!

-Coups, my love, I feel bad that I couldn't show him more love with the time I had. I had another attack of shyness around him and didn't look him in the eye 😭 I tried to touch his hand a little longer to make up for it...also I'm SO regretful that I didn't look at his face more attentively because I know he was smiling, but I didn't even take the time to appreciate his dimples 😭😭😭

-Wonwoo, my precious, I'm sorry I also don't remember much of him. Whose idea was it to have hip hop unit line up together?????????? I, a lowly hip hop unit stan, am DECEASED. I was already so overwhelmed from the others that I didn't have the capacity to appreciate Wonwoo 😭😭😭

-Minghao, oh god, Minghao, my everything. I'm not gonna lie, he stole my heart today. Recently I had been feeling increasingly fond towards him for no particular reason, so I kinda saw it coming, but after the hi-touch I was just like, wow. My life has been changed. Right before the hi-touch started, as we were lining up, I was yelling Minghao's name trying to get him to notice me. No luck 😔 but I spoke Mandarin to him during the hi-touch, and he gave me this radiant smile and thanked me in Mandarin. Holy shit, his voice. I'm still getting shivers thinking about it now. I swear to god my heart wanted to fly out of my chest. In hindsight though, I think he seemed a bit tired, similar to Woozi? I'm not sure if it's just his smile lines but yeah, he seemed kind of tired. He was really gracious about the whole thing though. 

-Chan, what a smol, especially sandwiched between the two giants that are China line. LOL I mean he’s actually pretty tall too, he just gives off the vibe that makes me want to coddle him 😅 I hope he got to meet a lot of people who bias him! He deserves the world ❤️

-Jun, wow. I feel a little bad for reiterating that he's beautiful? The boy's talented too, make no mistake! Appreciate Wen Junhui 2kalways! But anyway he seemed a bit tired and withdrawn during the hi-touch, I felt a little twinge in my heart. I had a split second where I freaked out mentally over the Mandarin so I just ended up saying "you've worked hard" to him even though I'd already said it to Minghao. Actually I don't think I ended up saying anything about staying healthy to any of the members of performance unit who were present.....I feel like there's some kind of cosmic irony here. Anyway I hope Jun appreciated the Mandarin even though he didn't say anything! 😅

I really wanted Hoshi to come so I could tell him to get well soon, but of course I don't blame him. I hope he's back on his feet soon!

I was curious about Seventeen’s actual heights lmao but they were all kind of bending down/crouching to accommodate the fans! So sweet of them 😍 (but I still will never know how tall they really are.......hahaha)

God it's 4:40 already 😂😂😂 anyway! I'm gonna sleep now! I'll talk more about the concert later, but it was So Good oh my god. I've now adopted SF9 as my babies and reaffirmed my belief that Seventeen are gods 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Vernon and Seungkwan are the sweetest little things and Mingyu and Minghao are precious together. 

TL;DR: I went in to the hi-touch a Coups bias and I left a Minghao bias 😂😍😂😍😂

Finished watching season 2 with my niece!

I finished watching Rebels Season 2 with my 10 year old niece and it was a wild ride! After the Season 1 finale, she had expected Ahsoka (who became her favorite character on Disney Infinity) to join the Rebels cast full-time but I reminded her that she already 'had a job' in the Rebellion and had other responsibilities... but would likely help them when needed. This post is obviously much longer than the previous review by the sheer amount of episodes in S2 (even if we skipped a couple) and because my niece started to make LOTS of questions at one point, which is great because she has started to slowly take in the lore.

There is one thing though. If I hadn't been there with her to answer her questions, I'm not sure she would have followed certain plot points. Season 1 did great by keeping it local in Lolthal but now that they were jumping around planets and started to bringing more people from the past, she had some trouble keeping track of the whole picture. I don't think she ever had to deal with so much story lore before on other shows. Didn't get all of the episodes but just the most important comments:

Siege of Lothal.

"What's Kanan's problem? He's being very rude. He wasn't like this..."

"She ((Minister Tua)) needs to leave or she might lose her head too"

"Is this a trap?... uhm... but they have to take the risk. Ezra is right, they should help people. Do the right thing."

"Woah! They blew up the ship! They will need to find another way out of the-... why are they leaving without her((Tua))? Aren't they going to help her out of the debris?", "She... uh, she didn't survive the explosion sweetie", "D: [silent gasp] they... they killed her??..."

"Why are they cold?" (Darth Vader shows up) "Woah, woah, woah! No. No-no-no! Kanan is not that good. They need to run. RUN RUN RUN"

"He's really evil. He wants Ezra to kill himself with the Force!"

[squirming on her place] "C'mon Ahsoka, tell them is Anakin. Tell them. You know! They need to know!"

"She didn't tell them... ugh... this is going to be a problem"

The Lost Commanders

"Who is this mysterious leader? How are they going to know WHO it is? Like... are they going to sense him with the Force... or...?", "Yeah, good question"

"Oh, they are clones", "yeah, they were very good friends with Anakin and Ahsoka"... "Ooooh I seee"

"Zeb becomes friends easily with people who also like to fight"

"These clones are good... wait, WHAT? THEY TOLD THE EMPIRE? NOOOO!"

Relics of the Old Republic

"They will have to fight together..."

"Can't they use the Force to... Oh! They ARE going to use the Force to sense them! Good"

"The clones will fight to the end alright... their last fight... (c'mon Kanan, don't leave them!)"

"So, Rex is like Ahsoka's uncle", "Uhm... well, good friends and family, yeah"

Always two there are

"I bet Ezra can find the supplies first"

"Who's that-...! A WOMAN Inquisitor??"

"She's scary!"

"They don't have Kanan with them, there is no way they can fight TWO Inquisitors"

(She got lil weirded out by the Seventh Sister with Ezra but said nothing of it)

"Oh great... Zeb is not exactly that smart. I hope he can come up with a plan"

"RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!"

"Look! Kanan and Hera are holding each other worrying about 'their kids'! THEY ARE A COUPLE!"

Brothers of the Broken Horn

"Who's that again?", "His name is Hondo. He was a big bad pirate from before, from when Ahsoka was still a Padawan, but he has gotten old and lost his crew", "oh... ok"

"Let's skip this one"

Blood Sisters

"wait... she didn't do that graffiti. This is suspicious..."

"So that's a friend of Sabine... but not anymore?"

"Why did they escape? For money?"

"She's going to join them in the end, right?"

"Wait... wait... Sabine is going to make that robot ((captain)) explode with the ship?? What? BUT HE HAS FEELINGS!"

"Aww... Ezra is so silly. xD"

The Future of the Force

"Why would they want a baby? Can't she have one on her own? That baby is not an Inquisitor baby anyway!", "well, 'Inquisitor' is not a race, is something you grow up to be", "Oh... so, they want to turn them into inquisitors, gotcha".

"Hahahah Chopper is so funny, I bet he makes a good nanny", "Erh...seems like he asked to blow up the ship anyway", "Nah, he's just joking", "yeah... joking"

(Kanan realizes they are force sensitive babies) "WELL DUH! Kanan is usually smarter than that"

(Ahsoka shows up) "YES! PREPARE TO GET YOUR BUTTS KICKED!"

"She's soooo goooood! They don't have a chance against her!"

"Yeah, you guys need to run away, she can handle this!!"

"See? Chopper makes a good robot nanny! I bet he can take care of any babies Hera has with Kanan in the future"

Legacy

"A cat? Force Cats? Is that a thing?"

"They are not dead right?"

"I mean, Kanan is like his new adoptive dad, but it would be nice to have his parents too"

"Are they dead??"

"Maybe they are not dead after all"

"Follow the cat!"

"Oh no... they ARE dead... poor Ezra :(... I want to hug him"

"Kanan is going to be there for him. He loves him too. Ezra's not going to be alone"

A princess on Lothal

"Ezra needs some time to feel better"

"And who's that?... is she a new character?... wait- ITS LEIA! ITS PRINCESS LEIA!"

"They are going to meet Princess Leia!"

"She's so smart~!"

"Ezra wants to show off but still needs a lot of practice"

"Make it look real, hahahaha"

Protector of Concord Dawn

"Sabine knows them?", "She's Mandalorian too, remember?", "Oh, that's right", "They are warriors", "Like the saiyans", "yeah... kind of?"

"They are working for the Empire! Run!"

"I didn't notice when she got into the ship either!"

"So... Kanan is not getting shot down on sight because...?", "They want to hear why he is here at least", "But they know he's a Jedi now, they will hand him over to the Empire"

"She's learning not to kill and be less... 'Mandalorian'. Nice!"

The Call

"Why is space always so cold?", "Well, it can be extremely cold or hot. If you are on the shade of a planet or a ship, you will freeze. If you are without cover, you will get fried..." ((Simplistic explanation, I know... didn't have time to explain about radiation/convection lol))

"You know, if my ship was running out of gas in space, I would just boost in the direction of the base, turn off the motors and just let it go in a straight line. It should keep moving with that", "...that's correct, I think"

"WHALES? IN SPACE?"

"THEY ARE SO PRETTY!"

"Why aren't they listening to Ezra!? He's right! They need to start hearing Ezra more!"

"How can they breathe in space?", "I guess the Helmets have some breathing masks with oxygen inside", * "Mmh... Ok"

"What's up with his eyes? Is he mind controling Ezra?" "xD, hahaha, no. I think they are connecting through the Force", "Ok! but... JUST GIVE HIM HIS HELMET BACK ALREADY!!"

"PUT THE HELMET BAAAACK! PUT IT BACK! BREATHE!"

Homecomming

"What's a Ryloth?", "Ryloth is Hera's planet"

"Hera has a DAD?", "Yep"

"How do I look??.... HAHAHAHA! Kanan is all nervous because he's going to meet his father-in-law! HAHAHA, he even confused everyone's names! Hahahahaha" ((I lost her for a full minute))

"Family first. Yep"

"Hahahaha, Kanan is having a good time"

"What do they want to do again?", "Hera wants to steal that big ship, her father wanted to destroy it"

"TRAITORS!",

"What's that little thing running around!", "That's uh... I believe is like a roomba? Like... in Wall-e? Remember the cleaning robot?", "YEAH! Hahaha, poor thing!"

"Sabine is not going to blow up the roomba robot, is she? She likes to explode stuff too much..."

"You know, if Ezra did that to me and failed the first time...", "You mean the Jedi mind trick?", "Yeah, if he failed the first time, I would got like 'yeah, we should evacuate the ship' to make them believe it worked, so when I leave I give the alarm and catch them", "[slow clap]"

The Honorable Ones

"What's that place?","Geonosis","It's empty?","It shouldn't be"

"What were they building there? Something big?", "Really big", "....??", "The Death Star", "But it should be there...", "They can move it, it's like a huge ship", "ah"

"[roll eyes] Oh, great, Agent Kallus..."

"Zeb is going to get caught"

"[Gasp] What happened to his leg?", "He broke it", ":O"

"They will need to work together... but Kallus is pretty useless now"

"He believes he's a good guy?? REALLY??"

"Well, at least now I know that Geonosis's moon are freezing and have giant beaked monsters in caves"

"Is Kallus going to join the Rebellion? It looks like Zeb and him could be friends"

"Don't throw him around like that Zeb!! HIS LEG!! HIS LEEEEG!!"

"Wait... he's not coming? He's going to stay in the Empire? Why?? JUST GRAB HIM ZEB!"

"No one cared he came back :( "

"Is that a CELL? Is he a prisoner??", "No, that's his normal room", "That's sad"

Shroud of Darkness /or how I call it "Question Galore"

(Kanan/Ezra fight the Inquisitors) "Why are they saying their plans out loud? THEY CAN HEAR YOU!"

"... Why are the lightsabers diferent colors? Why are the inquisitor's and Vader's red? Why were Ahsoka's yellow/green but now they are like white?", "-Woah" ((Had to pause and go into a lengthy explanation about Kyber crystals, tuning, bleeding, purifying...))

"He doesn't like the CRAZY ONES anymore? ANYMORE?", "Well, he did have other girlfriends before Hera", "WHAAAAAAT!? WHEN DID THEY SAY THAT? THEY NEVER SAID THAT!", "It's implied on one of the books", "WHAT BOOKS?", "There is a novel from when Hera and Kanan met when they were younger", "WHAAT! Why isn't that on the show!? IT SHOULD BE!", "It's not exactly a children's book", "That's not fair! WE KIDS ALSO WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! UGH!! [squirms on her seat]"

"Oh... that's Anakin. Awww... :( now he's all evil"

"That's the technique we watched on youtube!! :D If they ever invent real lightsabers, I would so get fencing clases" ((We had watched some lightsaber training youtube videos on Form 1, 2 and 3 to play 'realistically' with our lightsaber toys... don't judge me))

"I don't get it. Why didn't Anakin die?", "You mean when he burned himself? or with a lightsaber in a fight?", "No, why didn't he kill himself?", "I-... -what?", "[offhandedly] Yeah, he became a bad guy to save his wife, but it turned out to be all for nothing. It didn't mattered anymore. He should have just suicide", "[agast] I-... I don't know... He was too angry?...", "...[unconvinced]" [darkside intensifies].

"Why did Ahsoka left the Jedi again?", ((explanation))

"It's all an illusion again?"

"Who is that? A Jedi Guard?"

"Who is he talking about? Who's the darkside calling to?", "Ezra", "Oh, yeah. Pffft, it calls to him TOTALLY", "(w-why are you so sure...?)"

"He... he looks like the Inquisitor. He moves like the first Inquisitor", (( GOOD EYE!))

"Is the Guard evil? Not really, right? He just wants to kill Ezra to keep him from the darkside", "... that's not exactly good either!", "But not evil-evil!".

"Well, he's not wrong. Ahsoka wasn't there to help him. It kinda was her fault too", "Woah, haaarsh"

"YODA!"

(( Yoda goes on about the Jedi shouldn't fight in the war and the cost of wining)) "I don't get it"

"IT IS THE INQUISITOR! WOW!... huh, he looked way better before..."

"Kanan graduated! Good for him! He's still not a good teacher, but he tries hard, and that's what matters!", "Gee, thanks?"

"GO, GO, GO, leave!"

"Malachor is a place?", "A planet" NOTE: HELP, I FEAR FOR MY PADAWAN.

Mystery of Chopper Base

"Woah, they are getting good"

"Whoops, Ezra got offended. Hahaha"

"They... are leaving? To look for Malachor? ... aww... they don't want to leave."

"How long will they be gone?", "They have no idea"

"SPIDERS!? NO, NO, NO!"

"SHOOT THEM! SHOOOT THEEEEEM!"

"I'M WITH ZEB! TOO MANY LEGS!"

"Why are they SPLITTING!?? THEY NEED A JEDI ON EACH GROUP!", "It because they are leaving and they need to learn how to go without them", "I DONT CARE"

"DON'T! It's not going to work! EZRA! IT'S GOING TO BITE YOUR HAND! SEEEE!? SEEE!?"

"I DONT LIKE THIS EPISODE!"

"AAAAAAAH!!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE!"

"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!", "Cooomeeee oooon, is not that bad!"

"I HATE SPIDERS!"

"THEY ARE TRAPPED! NOOOO, THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!"

"[uninteligible yells while covering her face]", "Yeah, yeah, it's almost done"

"It is very weir Ezra can't connect with them. Maybe Ahsoka can..."

"Awww... so sweet. Hera needs to relax. They will be fine" ((OH MY SWEET SUMMER CHILD))

Twilight of the Apprentice (Oh boy, the rollercoaster of emotions is about to begin)

"They should have brought Rex. Or Zeb for muscle"

"Why did the wall react like that with Ezra?"

"What's that?", "The Jedi had temples... so did the sith. This is a Sith Temple", "ooooooh"

"There was an old Jedi and Sith war? Woah... who won?"

"A new Inquisitor!"

"Ezra can force jump that high now, right?"

"Who's that old guy?"

"Well, if he wants to help him, and used to be bad, but now he also fights the Empire so then he's good right? Unless he is lying..."

"What...!? Ezra shouldn't use the darkside. No... EZRA DON'T LIFT THE ROCKS- oh nooo.....!! He's turning him bad? IS THAT IT?? D:", "Remember what the Guard/Inquisitor said about Ezra?", "That the Darkside called to him. Oh no, no, no. This story is going to end with him turning evil like Darth Vader"

"Who is Maul?", "You know him", "No", "Yes you do. He was the final boss on the Twilight of the Republic in Disney Infinity. I even made a challenge for you with him", "I don't remember him", [silent cream]

"Hey, that's like Kanan's cube!", "Holocron", "So this is a SITH holocron"

"You gotta jump! Wait... he's not going to drop him right? Oh, phew! That's good"

"So just one Sith can open it. Someone who uses the darkside. Uhmmm... so, Ezra is going to be a Jedi that uses BOTH. The Light and the Dark! He can even get a red lightsaber and fight like Ahsoka", "You can't be a Jedi and use the darkside. Jedi only use the light", "But... BUT HE CAN...! AND he's not bad. He won't be a Sith... maybe he won't be either then... what would that make him?", ((somewhere in the Galaxy, Bendu hums))

"Nope. Kanan is not going to leave him alone anymore with Maul"

"Don't split, don't split, don't split. THEY SPLIT! AAAARGH!"

"He won't kill her! He can't. He won't be able to kill her. He's not that cold... WOAH! BUT HE DID!... That should be such a shock for his young mind", "His young mind? xD He's 5 years older than you", "STILL!"

"HIS apprentice? What does that even- WHAT THE-!!! WHAAAAT!! WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?? GO BACK!! IT CANT BE!! NO! HIS EYES! HI EYEEES!! PAUSE IT!! HE CANT BE-!! HE CANT BE BLIND! IS HE BLIND!? IS HE BLIND!!!??", "well...", "IS IT PERMANENT!?", "Uhm", "EZRAAAA THIS YOUR FAAAAAUUULT! HE WILL NEVER SEE HERA'S BEAUTIFUL FACE AGAIN! [RAGE]"

"STOP IT WITH THE HOLOCRON! YOU HAVE DONE ENOUGH!... OOH NOW YOU PLACED IT!... THIS IS YOUR FAAAULT!!"

"EZRA WILL NEVER BE YOURS!! HOW DARE YOU HURT KANAN!!"

"Can Kanan still fight??"

"He tricked you alright Ezra- [GASP]... DARTH VADER! RUN! RUNAWAY YOU HAVE NO CHANCE! I mean all of this is your fault but I don't want you to DIE!"

"UUGH, what is Ezra doing!? He's going to get killed! And all of Kanan's suffering will be for nothing!"

"D: HIS LIGHTSABER! AAAAAAAAH! WHAT IS HAPPENING! THEY ALL GOING TO DIE!"

"YEAH AHSOKA!... ooh-oh... They are finally going to fight"

"But he didn't kill Anakin, he IS Anakin", "He's speaking on a figurative way", "well, I believe 'Anakin' is still trapped deep down on a dark cell on his heart", "O_O woah", "I bet he secretly wants to see how much has Ahsoka has improved and is proud of her... and then kill her", ((daaaamn))

"Are you blind too? OF COURSE HE IS BLIND! IS YOUR FAULT!"

"[eyes widen]... Anakin... deep down, he's still-... oh never mind, he will try to kill her anyway... sigh"

"You should stop crying for Ahsoka and start crying FOR WHAT YOU DID TO KANAN", "Hey, the whole place is going to explode, of course he is worried", "But she won't die. She can't die [straight face, not an ounce of doubt]"

"ALL OF THIS FOR THAT STUPID HOLOCRON! [RAGE]"

"Oh no... No. He had promised Hera they would see each other again! HE WONT. HE WOOONT BE ABLE TO SEE HER EVER AGAIN. THIS IS TOO SAD! I thought Hera was being pessimistic about what would happen to them but she was riiiiiight"

"Wait... Did Ezra just told Rex she is dead with that look? WHAT! NO"

"VADER SURVIVED [GOING NUCLEAR] WHERE IS AHSOKA!? DONT TELL ME HE KILLED HER! SHE CANT BEEE!"

"THERE! SHEEEEES THEEEEEREEEEE! SHE'S ALIVE BUT LOST INTO THE SHADOWS"

"THEY LOST AHSOKA BECAUSE OF YOU EZRA I HOPE YOU ARE HAP-.... what... no... NO! DONT YOU DARE OPEN THAT HOLOCRON-! AAAAAH! YOU DIDNT LEARN ANYTHING! THIS IS YOUR FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAULT!"

"IM CRYING INSIDE!"

Final verdict: "There is more right? RIGHT? THIS CANT BE THE END. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT"

We have been watching the Seasons 1/2 in Netflix, and as they don't have season 3 yet, I told her I would look for them later. In the mean time, we started playing Infinity again. She got to play Kanan, I got Ezra... and she started chasing me for a while with his lightsaber. "He didn't apologized to Kanan! COME APOLOGIZE TO ME! I LIKED YOU EZRA! YOU LOST ME!". I then took us to a challenge I had previously done for her with Maul... one that I had hoped made the image of Maul fresh on her mind for the season finale but failed miserably... and let her get a cathartic fight with him and Kanan. She reveled in it.
