[creative-kny-fics]

My dude, I am on a mission to find more Lee!Gyokko content, but it seems I’m the only one to have made that a thing…

So if you could..

would you pretty..

PRETTY please make a TK fic of Lee!Gyokko with any ler?

I ask you because you’re one of the best TK writers I know 🥹🙏

Aaaaw, you're so sweet! Honestly, I don't consider myself a good writer, because I have different ways/methods of writing long stories, but it's nice that you think that about me. Sure, no problem! (stop creating art because you give me more ideas)

Gyokko's live reaction lol

First Fic:

Ler: Muichiro Tokito

Lee: Gyokko (UpperMoon 5)

Well well, let's start this, straight to the fight, Muichiro already had his new katana so now the fight was serious, at least like that in the anime.

'Now, prostrate yourself before my beauty!', he received no response.

Muichiro just stared at him, stunned when he started yelling at him, although he remained calm, saying that he had told him many minutes ago to shut up, and to finish...

'I'm not surprised by what you've done'.

He tried to hit, a single blow and that little boy would have turned into a pile of fish, fortunately he is not just any little boy, he is a hashira, so it was not that difficult for him to dodge that attack.

'What's happening? Are you going to hide in a tree? I thought trees were prohibited in the playground...'

'No, I just climbed up here so I wouldn't be around your disgusting smell, take a shower, don't you think you need it?'

Muichiro looked closely, for a demon, it was one of the strangest he had ever encountered, it was half fish and half human? Or what the hell was it?

Whatever it was, I noticed something about him, that was... A belly button...?

It was probably the most human thing he had, and he was curious, it was something strange, honestly.

'What's happening? Do you finally appreciate my true beauty?'

'You don't have any beauty, honestly, I'm just curious... And what is that?'

'That?! What are you implying?! I am a perfect creature! I have no imperfections! How dare you?! You're going to-!', as I said before, was probably the only human thing Gyokko had.

As soon as he touched what for Gyokko was an "imperfection", his figure changed from being a large, long snake to being something similar to a sea slug, in Muichiro's words.

'What happened to me...? No, this is inconceivable, what the hell is this?!', and yes, Gyokko had no idea what had happened to him.

He felt a chill, something that made him turn that way, and if it wasn't humiliating enough, he felt the hashira that he HAD TO KILL pick him up and look at him curiously, as if he were a dog or a baby.

'What? What happened to you? I don't see you as threatening anymore, huh, now you're so easy to crush...'

'GET ME DOWN YOU FUCKING BRAT, IF YOU DON'T GET ME DOWN I'LL TEAR YOUR ARM OFF!'

'Oh really? In that situation? With that size? I only did this and made you this size, will it be that if I do it again, you will shrink more and more until you just disappear?'

That was ridiculous, there was no way for that to happen, she just took it unnoticed, just that, this "humiliation" would not let him pass, but what do you think...

As soon as he wanted to regain his size, the same movement, the same feeling of before, but this time he had the impulse to use his tail to try to stop the boy's arm, was it strange for him? Definitely

'I understand what's going on, you're ticklish, who knew, your only weaknesses were supposed to be the nichirin katanas and the sun... I think I just discovered a new one, hah, how ironic...~'

'Yo-yohou're wrohohong...! I a-am... I am ahahaha... Pe-peheherfehehehect crehehahahat-tuhuhure...!'

'Whatever you say, you're not going to deny that at some point you were human and part of those sensations stayed with you, of course, if at some point you were human because you look like a fish...'

'Dahahahamn bra-brahahat!! I-I'll kihihill y-yohohou!!', I don't think so, at least not at the moment

Did you think it was bad? Na-ah, Muichiro was just playing with him, he was just putting his hands up his sides, he didn't even have to hold him up, his tail didn't leave his arm and if he did, he would fall, so, he wasn't running away or anything like that.

'Who knew... Heh, weren't you a powerful creature? Because I see that you are falling apart at a few small, light touches...'

'Fu-fuhuckihihing li-lihahahahar!!'

'Heh, what if I do this again?'

As I said, Muichiro was just playing with the demon, all he had to do was put his finger in its navel again for the grip on its tail and its desire to escape to increase.

Hah, Muichiro was having fun, it was kind of weird, but how many chances would a hashira have of defeating a demon just by doing this?

He may leave him if he accepts his defeat, he may not, everything will be in the hands of the hashira

Second Fic:

Ler: Douma (UpperMoon 2)

Lee: Gyokko (UpperMoon 5)

'But Muzan-Sama! I have something that will surely make you happy and closer to your dreams!'

'I care little. Do you think that shit can make me happy? Then take that information and leave once and for all with Hantengu to wherever you got that information, if I find out it's false, you're going to pay for it, get out of my sight!'

Nakime strummed her biwa and Muzan simply disappeared, leaving his "subordinate" on the ground, oh how bad, at least there was someone who cared about him, more or less.

'Dear Gyokko, why don't you share that information with me?'

'Eeeeh, I don't think that's a good idea...'

'Come on Gyokko, I want to know too! Share the information with...-!', tell you what happened?

Well, Akaza approached him, he was not willing to deal with his bullshit, the indication was clear that only Gyokko and Hantengu knew that information, so it irritated him that his higher rank was trying to find out, something that, for Akaza, he had no right.

'Has Muzan-Sama given you orders? He was clear, only Gyokko and Hantengu can know, why don't you go back to your stupid cult before I hit you again?!'

And yes, the scene continues with "normality", Kokushibo scolding Akaza for "slapping" his superior, Douma excusing Akaza, saying that it is his way of playing and so on, making the pink-haired demon more angry.

Kokushibo gave Akaza one last warning before leaving, which Akaza also did when Douma tried to speak to him again.

'Biwa woman, would you do me the favor of taking me and Hantengu to-! ACK!'

'Hey hey Gyokko, I haven't finished talking to you! Go ahead, I can be of great help to you!'

'Eeeeh, I think Akaza-Sama and Muzan-Sama were very clear...'

'Ooooh, do you want me to get the information out of you the hard way? It's fine with me!'

This was just a game for Douma, I think we all know that whatever the opportunity, he will tickle his partner, whether to annoy him or just because he's bored.

'Come on Gyokko, tell me the information! I promise not to tell anyone!'

'I CAHAHAN'T!! HAHANTEHENGU!! HEHELP MEHEHEHE!!'

'HEYIA! D-don't get me into that Gyokko!'

'It looks like you're alone... Come on, just tell me! I promise you won't even notice me! I just want to know!', and in some part, just bother him

Gyokko wasn't having a good time, why? I think we've already seen that Douma seems to have claws instead of nails, adding to the fact that he is a demon and that any damage that Gyokko did to him would simply regenerate, well, needless to say...

'Really? Are you going to continue being stubborn? Oh wow... I guess I'll continue then...'

'NOHOHOHO!! NA-NAKIHIMEHEHE!! GE-GET ME OHOHUT OF HEHEHEREEEE!!'

'Biwa woman, don't pay attention to him, he's fine!'

Nakime was already annoyed, so without listening to Douma, she ripped her biwa again and sent Gyokko and Hantengu in the direction

In turn, she gave another strum to send Douma back to his cult, finally peace and tranquility for her

Third fic:

Lee: Gyokko

Lers: Aizetsu, Sekido, Urogi and Karaku (Hantengu Clones)

'Remind me why...? AYIE! I-I UNDERSTAND...!', let's go back to what happened a little.

Gyokko and Hantengu were calmly, everything relaxed, everything calm, even if the demons did not need to rest, it was a moment of tranquility, at least for Gyokko

No idea why he would have suddenly looked for his partner to rub his head and belly, nor that he was a dog to be doing that, but, to each his own.

'Gyokko... Can I go now...?'

'No, did I tell you to stop? No, right? So continue', on top of that they help him, he treats him like that.

But well, although Hantengu is a fearful person, he was not someone with that much patience, so, after so much time and having to endure Gyokko's verbal abuse, he simply got fed up.

'What is that light...?'

Yes, well, it wasn't a situation where Hantengu was in danger as such but, someone had to stop Gyokko, so he simply let out his clones, who looked quite displeased with what was done by his "subordinate"

'Since when does a lower rank than us have the right to treat us badly, eh?'

'Someone should teach you manners, so you stop being a spoiled bitch who thinks can have everything on a silver platter.'

'I feel sorry for you, but I'll have to obey them, I'm sorry, Gyokko...', honestly, he wasn't sorry.

Gyokko was already in a nice position, so it wasn't difficult for them to have to immobilize him and so on, he was literally crying out for it.

'WHAHAT THE HEHEHELL?! WHE-WHERE IS HAHAHANTEHENGUHUHU?!'

'We, in a certain part, are Hantengu now you're screwed, I don't think you'll die from this, besides, you have more hands than us, not taking them out is your problem'

'IDIHOHOTS!!'

'Hah, insult all you want, but you're not safe from this...'

Anything worse? Nah well, first, his nails weren't that sharp but, if they were long enough to carry him into the story, added to the fact that Urogi has claws, literally, and has feathers, well, you can imagine.

[discluded]

I was wondering, what are your thoughts on: Who might have bought Apo that green white crochet over shirt? From his IG story where he posted about it, it looks like someone else bought it for him. Since, he mentioned that it looked B***hy, and where would he wear such shirt. I have stalked fan sites and no one has mentioned that it as a fan gift. So, it must be someone from his circle! That shirt cost close to $700 US. So, who would buy him such provocative expensive shirt? Any thoughts!!

Oh friend, you sure sent me down a fashion rabbit hole for this one.

Apparently the MTL called it "super bitch" hahaha.

So you mentioned you think it might be a gift but no one's came forward to claim it, and I want to caveat: (1) I don't know if Thai fans post as much on Twitter if their present gets used, so maybe it is a fan gift and we don't know but (2) this actually made me check Bode's stockists, and lo and behold:

The only place in Thailand that carries Bode is actually *drumroll* The Decorum! Also known as the place that Mile and Apo have been going to get their fittings for the film festival debut. And where they got their Vogue Gala suits. 😊

Apo posted the story on November 23, and Mile's post about doing the fitting again (right photo) was posted November 30, so it's possible there was a week between fittings.

This also had me taking a poke at Bode's instagram page. And look what I saw here 🎯👀

Yes, it's the green shirt Apo wore to Universal Studios Singapore. They're from the same collection.

These were both posted to Bode's instagram mid June (15 and 16) and had the text:

First delivery styles now available online and in-store. To request upcoming arrivals, please contact our New York or Los Angeles stores.

So they arrived at the stockists circa mid June. By the end of July, their instagram had noted both these were out of stock at their online store but available in their in-location stores (they obviously do not track their stockists' inventory). So the earliest Apo could have had the shirt he wore in Singapore was late June as well. No fan claimed that one either, so he likely bought it for himself (or you know. sugar baby privileges 😂)

Just a cute thing I want to note but is meaningless to Apo's choice, the collection both items were released in was named the E.A.B.A. Wedding Collection.

So to answer your question, who do I think bought it for him, I'm just going to lay out all the possibilities:

Fan bought. Unlikely. A lot of fans are pretty conservative about the clothes they buy him and Mile. I'm going to change that and get Mile a tiddy shirt.

The Decorum's owner gifted it to Apo to clear stock. Unlikely. They are friends though, which is why Apo (and now Mile) frequents his shop!

Bought on sale at The Decorum. Most probable. Some places have discounted it for end of season sale where I've seen it available online still. To be fair, "Very naughty, how do I wear it!" has the energy of a girlie who found a good deal on the clearance rack but has no idea how to style this ridiculous piece. So I still think he could've bought it himself.

Bought at The Decorum, but it was a friends and family discounted offered to Apo to move the product 🤷‍♀️

As for whose wallet the money came out of Apo has his own money and job! But Mile's wallet seems to hurt a lot when they go shopping huh😅

Mile: i’m broke because of him ahah

Apo: ahahaha it’s payday i wanna do shopping ahahaha

[predestinatos]

You made many valid points about the wags, I think it's important to remember that we probably (can't speak for all of us, can I) don't have the same money as them to buy designed clothes, have surgical procedures (let's be honest, some have) and look after themselves as they do and being stunning is part of their job. With that being said, I hate that some fans are putting them on a pedestal, makes me think they are only interested in drivers and their life and not the sport. I particularly hate reading things like "she is everything, he is just there" like... I am sorry, I drew the line it's ridiculous ATP, it sounds forced, it sounds fake all these fan accounts about ex and current wags is beyond me. And to stay social/political in this way we make rich people even richer and they are basically doing nothing to earn this money while we (or their parents, sounds like a teenager thing calling wags "mother") work our ass off to make 1/10 of their money. Sorry I just needed to talk about this with someone ahahaha

no i 100% agree!!

another important thing, especially from a feminist point of view, is how these women are literally put against each other. the edits we see about current wags and exes and constant comments on their social medias about their boyfriends, their exes, their friends, is ridiculous.

these women are more than their respective s/os, in fact they are their own independent selves who suddenly got thrown into a world where they are glorified without asking for it yet insulted and torn apart for the same reasons.

i have seen certain wags being targets of such amount of scrutiny for 5 second clips, i can only imagine the mental toll that exerts on them. women are always a bigger target of scrutiny, insult and ridicule, comparison and everything in-between than men. they have to be pretty enough for the men, sweet enough, but not too much or people will say they want fame or something.

and then this idolization of these women is equally harmful because they are not role models to have. we know even less about them than about the drivers we like. we know absolutely nothing about them and placing this responsibility to be perfect on their shoulders is ridiculous both for them and for whoever does it.

we are force-fed a ridiculous amount of capitalistic propaganda from this system that it goes almost unnoticed from how obvious it is. most of them are and live in very privileged social statuses and have not done much to earn any sort of fanbase (as in wag fan accs and edits. very superficial.)

we, as women, never quite win. and neither do they. i think acknowledging their existence is fine, calling them pretty is fine, but constantly reinforcing our love for people who are normal and unknown to us is peculiar to say the least. just like micro analyzing everything they do and sending them hate is peculiar. and even more - constantly talking about their relationships.

i can only imagine how odd it would be if i started dating a famous person and, by association, people started idolizing me. women are not a performance or a trophy to be admired simply for existing. they are complex, deep, and have their own personalities outside their relationships. we need to let them have that. while also acknowledging their privilege.

hope this made sense ahah

[kenobion]

oh no, you’ve given me an excuse to pour my heart out…

i have a crush on my friend. we’ve been friends for about four months now, and we have set plans for every saturday morning, and now we also have dinner plans every wednesday evening.

they’re lovely. we have the same sense of humor, and both love reading, and spending time in the ocean. we also work in the same field, albeit different subfields, so we always have loads to talk about in that regard. they’re also probably the kindest, most genuine person i have ever met, which sounds ridiculous when we’ve been friends for such a short period of time, but you know, with some people, you just know, that one is a good egg.

every time we hang out, they’re always saying things like “you really cheer me up,” “i’m so happy to see you,” “thank you for spending your time with me,” and it’s just so sweet i melt.

this wednesday, we went for dinner, and then swimming under the stars (their idea), and there was this moment as i was towelling off my hair; they were staring at me, and kept staring, until i finally asked if something was wrong, and they apologised and said “it’s just the way the light hits your hair. it’s so pretty.” i didn’t know what to say, so i was just smiling, and we just kept looking at each other?? until they apologised again and looked away???

they’re always telling me how smart i am, and complimenting me on various things i’m good at, and on my outfits and i just… i’m SO screwed ahahaha

thank you for reading <33

First of all swimming under the stars is just about the most romantic thing anyone has ever done that they've told me about or that I've heard of, is your life the plot to a movie or something?? This sounds so incredibly sweet, like you've got to be meant to be in each other's lives in some capacity, whether it's as friends or romantically, something here is connecting for sure. This is the cutest thing I've read in a while, my heartttt 😭

Tell me about your crushes on anon

[bossymarmalade]

Ringo is such an empathic soul! My fav is Geoge. He was the introvert like myself. And he gave us Monty Python after all! In 1976 using the album list in Hunter Davies' autobiography that I borrowed from the school library, I began my album collection going backwards--Let It Be, Abbey Road and so on. That book noted HELP had a culturally problematic storyline but it ignited George's interest in Hare Krishna. I became intrigued with Hinduism.

George's compositions throughout his life always had a spirituality/message that appealed to my hippie heart. Oh why had I not been born at a time to experience Beatlemania!? (But then I wouldn't have become a roller skating disco diva🛼. Btw love the BeeGees but their Sgt Pepper film was a travesty except for Aerosmith singing "Come Together.")

When I cried over John's murder, my college roomies thought I was flakey. I have seen Paul/Linda/Wings & Ringo/All-Starrs in concert. Well, I have written too much to explain why Magical Mystery Tour is my fav album of theirs. But plz elucidate on "Which is your fav Beatles album?"

The George-Monty Python connection is SUCH a joy. Like the mentions of 'Loretta' in both Life of Brian and Get Back, hee.

HELP does indeed have a culturally problematic storyline but! As a Hindu in the diaspora I learned to take what I wanted from representations of my religion, and the version in Help! is honestly so ridiculous and farcical I barely connected it to actual Hinduism anyhow, heh. (Other Hindus' mileage may vary ofc but that's my experience 😌) Also I'm tickled that the year I was being born was the year you started your collection, how neat is that??

My high school years were steeped in the grunge scene but that's also when I started collecting/listening to Beatles in earnest. My whole friends group did. I think I tried to watch the BeeGees movie but was turned off pretty fast, ahahaha! In all honesty I didn't even really care for the Yellow Submarine movie (blasphemy, I know XD)

That's SO COOL that you've seen at least some of them in concert! Closest I got was a tribute concert lol. And for the longest time I would say that Magical Mystery Tour was my favourite too! Let it Be is a very VERY close contender but I would probably still choose Magical Mystery. The movie is a GONG SHOW but I love the mix of songs, and the videos they put out for it. Penny Lane Lennon is my favourite Lennon look of all time.

[lunarhellscape]

Wondering if I can request a roguefort (pursuit of lost time costume) X reader? Oneshot can be fine?

ahahaha totally didn't get eye problems Again and then go out of town not at all anyways here

i took a few liberties writing this, hope you don't mind

-----

You weren’t sure if you could describe your time in the TBD. It involved quite a bit: sometimes you’d have to go through a portal to catch someone who messed with the timeline, other times you would recover stolen artifacts… it was at the very least hectic. You were filling out a report on your most recent mission, which was unfortunately a failure; the task was simple, really, you were to recover an ancient treasure that had somehow been stolen before it even reached the museum it was to be displayed in. When you’d gotten to the location, all you’d seen was a card lying where you expected to find the artiifact. It wasn’t the first you’d seen, and it looked like whoever kept leaving them and making off with what you were sent to get was aware of your presence, enough to write your name with a little heart on the newest card they’d left you.

Whoever this person was, they annoyed you. You stared daggers into the card, somehow feeling like the heart was meant to mock you. A part of you briefly entertained the moment that they’d been watching you for some time, and perhaps that actually admired you… no. That was ridiculous, why would someone you’d been actively hunting down and trying to stop have a thing for you? Maybe you’d meet this stranger one day and find out for yourself–

    Your train of thought was interrupted by the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps along with your name being called. Turning around, you noticed your coworker and friend Croissant Cookie running into the room in a hurry, almost appearing frantic. Not used to seeing her acting so frantically, you opened your mouth to speak but she started before you could say anything, effectively cutting you off.

    “There’s been…” she paused to catch her breath, “...another disturbance. I don't have much time to explain, I have to catch some world-jumpers," Croissant shoved a file into your hands and then nearly tripped over herself leaving the room, probably going to get her plane ready. You yourself made your way out, not nearly as hasty as your colleague. 

     You looked yourself over, making sure you were well equipped. While Croissant took her plane almost everywhere, you made do with a much smaller tool: a remote of sorts that let you open different rifts in time. It was a little weird, but it worked for you. At some point you'd used a pocket watch for the sake of aesthetic, but you were pretty sure you lost it somehow. That incident was also the first time you'd met Timekeeper Cookie, and it'd been a strange encounter at the very least. 

      Reading through the file, you realized you were going into the future. This was a bit odd to you; most robberies you dealt with were in the past. As you changed the settings on your remote and watched the rift open, the location wasn't at all what you were expecting. It was your own bedroom a few days from now, a few of the random trinkets you kept were gone. Stepping through, you looked around and furrowed your eyebrows. Why would someone go to your house specifically and cause a disturbance? Maybe something you were going to do diverted the timeline because of the things that were stolen, you weren't quite sure. For the second time, your thoughts were cut off by someone's voice. However, this time it was one you didn't recognize. 

     "Ah, what a joy to finally see you up close," the voice sounded smooth and had an accent you couldn't quite place. Assuming this is the culprit of...well, everything, you pointed your remote at them, finger hovering over the button that would essentially trap any criminal. As you looked at the stranger, you noted how elegantly dressed they were… and the smug smirk they wore. It gave you a feeling you couldn't quite describe, but at the same time it wasn't exactly unpleasant. Gulping, you still managed to speak up. 

     "I…" you inhaled. "I'm with the TBD. Give me one reason I shouldn't detain you and turn you over to the Timekeeper," you did your best to keep your voice firm and steady, but you cringed to yourself as you heard the slight waver in your voice. Unfortunately, it appeared that whoever this was didn't seem phased at all by your threat. Quite the opposite, in fact; they let out a chuckle. 

     "How cruel, you wouldn't even spare a moment of your time? I've waited so long for a chance to meet you," their words came out as a sultry sort of purr, which really wasn't helping your current situation. You felt your face heat up, and you opened your mouth to say something but nothing came out. Chuckling at your slack-jawed silencer the stranger moved closer to you, getting a better look at your face. 

   "You're more beautiful than I'd ever imagined…" they hummed fondly, caressing your cheek. In a way, you were entranced. The sudden affection was a bit jarring, but at the same time it was comforting. You had barely whispered out a 'thank you' when you felt their lips against yours. Leaning into the kiss, you shut your eyes as you felt them grab your hand, their other still resting on your face. It felt like it lasted forever, but you weren't really sure if you wanted it to end. But all good things do come to an end, right?

     When you opened your eyes and finally pulled away, it was reluctant. You had a lovestruck smile on your face, completely forgetting that you had a job to do, even if you were in your own home. 

    "My, would you look at the time," The (admittedly attractive) stranger sighed wistfully, closing their eyes for a moment. They turned towards the door, pausing to look back at you. "I'll see you again soon, my love…" that same smirk from earlier was present as they winked and walked out, leaving you equal parts dumbfounded and upset; you already wanted more time with whoever this was. 

     As your stupor came to an end and you snapped back to reality, you felt something cold in your hand. You looked down and saw your pocket watch, almost dropping it out of pure shock. That person had it the whole time? Did they steal it from you? How didn't you notice? As you moved to shove it in your pocket, you felt something else. Slowly taking the object out, your eyes widened. It was a card, and not any card: it looked to be the same one that was left by that thief. There was no way, right? Maybe you were dreaming. The text on the card caught your eye, written in curvy, flowing letters. It, like the other one you'd found, was addressed to you specifically. 

     'It really was lovely to finally meet you, my dear. As much as I dislike parting with my treasures, I knew how much this one meant to you. There's no need to thank me, I did this out of love, after all. I'll see you soon.'

- Roguefort

     Roguefort… so that was their name. It was oddly fitting. You smiled dopily as you stared at the card, hoping that the criminal would pay you another visit soon. As you set your remote to return to the TBD's headquarters, you already had a lie at the tip of your tongue as to how the thief was nowhere to be seen. You'd catch them eventually… right?

[pearthery]

i have a gintama fic draft that i’ve been working on for a while (it was intended for gintoki day, but ahaha, i have not yet finished it, so it is for a very very belated gintoki day). it started out as a takagin zuragin joui war crackfic! it started out with kurokono tasuke as the primary POV character because i just thought it would be fun! now it is a fic where gintoki and kurokono discuss their favourite ultraman protags. it is a fic where kurokono does a beautiful ukiyo-e style drawing of gintoki as a catboy whose husband has recently passed away (this will make sense in context) (the context is that a catboy widow is zura’s ideal type)

choice excerpts:

1.  A couple months ago, some rumours started brewing at the bottom of the Generals' crusty rice-pot. No one knew who had started them, but everyone knew something about the source of them. The men in question weren't subtle, after all. They tried to be, yes, perhaps for the sake of their pride, probably because they didn't even know what was going on ( one of them in particular definitely didn't know what was going on), but their efforts weren't much compared to the constant current of tension that underpinned their every interaction. 

Tasuke could count on five hands how many times a new recruit had nudged his more experienced friend and stared with confusion. "What's up with those guys?" they would ask, befuddled. Sometimes it was Katsura-san they were looking at, ankle-deep in guts and cutting his eyes in disapproval as he complained about how hard it was to scrub Amanto blood out of white haoris. Other times it was Takasugi-san flying his hand to the hilt of his sword, or crossing his arms as he lashed his tongue, chest puffed up like a posturing schoolboy as Sakata-san all the while made faces at him and obnoxious sounds, increasingly ridiculous the more he was rebuffed. "Who the fuck knows?" their veteran friend would say. "But whatever's wrong with one of them probably goes for all of them."

The rumours started out small, likely. Tasuke hadn't heard them in their infancy but it was easy to suppose what they might have been like. Just quiet comments about how close they were, how few soldiers looked at each other like that, how it was perhaps unnecessary for General Katsura to so carefully take Sakata's head in his hands to tie his headband before every new battle, like, the guy can probably fend for himself, but isn't it kinda funny that he does it anyway, lol? This was because Sakamoto-san was capable of subtlety, and the sort of word he spread would never be so overblown at the start as they had eventually become.

"Huh? Rumours? Lies? Me?" said Sakamoto-san. "I would never! In fact, I have no idea what any of those things even are! What's a rumour?" he laughed, "What's a lie? What's a me? I don't even have a clue! Ahahaha, ahahaha!"

2.

If Takasugi pissed at a rate of 22 ml per second and Katsura pissed at a rate of 17 ml per second, but Takasugi's bladder capacity was only 300 ml compared to Katsura's 400 ml, and Takasugi's temper occasionally got the better of him and he became snappish and prickly, though Katsura wasn't known as the Rampaging Noble for no reason, and Tatsuma'd been at the receiving end of a scolding enough times to be wary of that guy's temper as well, and if both of them were competing to piss a heart shape on the shoreline as a love confession to a guy who's probably seen too many actual flesh-meat-body hearts in his lifetime to be ensnared by a piss heart or anything like that, then who among them would win? 

3.

"They're pretty even," said Koroka. "For everyone who thinks that Gintoki-san is repulsed by Takasugi-san's habit of smoking weed and gazing soberly out into the sky, there's someone who thinks that Gintoki-san is entranced by Takasugi-san's pensive and poetic nature the way a lonely yet kind-hearted boy is drawn to the rebellious yet intelligent troublemaker. He is apparently the ideal of a beautiful tortured warrior."

"They're all beautiful warriors, Koroka," said Tatsuma, not as bitter as he could be. "Beautiful warriors with ugly personalities. Underneath those youthful looks, the Shiroyasha is nothing but vomit, I tell you. Vomit and bad personality."

"It's Kurokono, Sakamoto-san," said Koroka. "Besides, I thought you were the one who threw up on Gintoki-san at your first meeting."

"Ahaha, Koroka-kun, where did you hear about that? I was only making sure his outsides matched his insides," said Tatsuma. "Wow. Our guys are really horrendous gossips, aren't they? I feel like I'm only starting to realise this."

"You aren't wrong," said Koroka, cocking his head. "But in your case… Well, you threw up in front of everyone. It was a big crowd. I think everyone who was there will never forget it."

"Huh," said Tatsuma.

"I'm glad most people overlook me," said Koroka, thoughtfully. "It means I''ll never experience what you did."

bakugou thoughts pt 2001847471 :)))

- if u go to the park, and somebody is like, walking their dog n the animal barks at y’all??? bakugou is barking back. mans full on squares up, n barks at the dog until it backs off

- he rarely gets into shows/series, but when he finds one he likes, he’ll only watch the first few episodes and then make u watch the rest with him. he’ll always say sum “if i dont watch with you, then i gotta make extra time for your needy ass. ‘m prioritizing my fuckin’ time. it doesn’t mean anything, shut up.” ...... he’s lying. it does mean something. it means he wants to share the things he likes with u

- pls he’s so smart, and generally pretty aware, but sometimes he’ll just do something so duMb. like, u kno that thing that happens sometimes with hair?? like, when it sticks to ur fingers and no matter what u do, u can’t get it off?? bakugou is literally breaking his wrist a foot away from u, shaking his hand back and forth and cursing soooo loudly. u just gotta go up to him and gently remove the hair from him like “oh honey- no.”

- peanut gallery comments. lots of them. mans will sit fully dead silent, not talking for the whOle day, but the second u do something embarrassing?? like trip??? suddenly he has a LOT to say ..... smh men

- animals just always like him. its absolutely unexplainable bc he’s so loud n moves super suddenly,,, but the amount of street animals that follow him home is ridiculous. srsly. sometkmes he even has other people’s pets trying to follow him home

- respects absolutely no one n that somehow strangely makes him the most respectful u’ve ever seen??? like- he hates everyone the exact same so u won’t ever catch bakugou in an act of discrimmination

- he can’t draw at all but if u asked him to draw something, it’ll be the same skull every single time. it’s a good skull, but it’s soooo obvious he learned how to draw it from a tutorial in the midst of his emo phase

- will fully make fun of others for baby-talking around their s/o, n then just fully go home n look at you like “tired.” “hungry.” “kiss.”...... like okay baby man, maybe try putting a full sentence together before u start trying to run your mouth. hypocrite.

- probably sleeps like the dead. contrary to popular belief, i absolutely do not believe he’s up at every single noise. man’s could sleep thru an explosion, im sure of it. that being said tho, it’s probably actually hard for him to turn his brain off n fall asleep. he prob goes to bed so “early” bc he has to wind down for a good hr or two until he’s ready to actually sleep

- he’s got a vendetta against salespeople. like, if his phone rings with some bullshit about a product? if somebody, god forbid, tries to walk up to your door? fully frothing at the mouth annoyed. will chew out any employee who’s too underpaid not to listen to him

- eats like an absolute animal. no rlly, its bad. holds his spoon with a fist and digs at his meal like its the gold rush. the worst table manners you’ve ever seen rlly

- he gets sorts antsy if he sits for too long, so he’s always off doing random shit. like, u’ll look out the window n he’s just like, raking the .3 leaves from ur driveway, probably trying to guess where the wind will be so they wont blow back

- ik this with my heart and soul okay,,, bakugou has never had a conversation with u that wasnt from exactly .2 meters away. like,, if he’s comfortable, then he’s just close all the time. like he’s waving his hands around and yelling and you just have to take his face in ur hands and go “im literally right here. ily but pls tone it down for the sake of my hearing.”

- very much guard dog behavior when y’all go out. absolutely will not leave ur side for even a second, like, at a bar or during a concert. even if u go to the bathroom he’s like, leaning against the wall and waiting right outside the door

- gets absolutely bitchy about your phone blowing up while you’re hanging out. its not that he’s suspicious that ur, like, cheating on him, it’s just that he doesnt understand why u’d even leave ur phone on in the first place since he always has his turned off when ur around. if he gets annoyed enough he’ll fully take the phone out of ur hands, say sum “yeah, you don’t fuckin’ need this anymore. you’re done with this.” n toss it across the room while he kisses u senseless

- tbh his ultimate love language is 100% playfighting. v much would go heart eyes if u even seemed like u might try n wrestle him. obvi u dont win, but his favorite is how u laugh while he pins ur hands above ur head

- he sneers at other angry people. will fully, fully sit there like “jesus christ, they need to calm the hell down. annoying as shit- fuckin’ loud too.” ....... -i. who’s gonna tell him

- silent conversations with ur eyes. no rlly. if y’all are with friends and somebody says something questionable, bakugou is immeadiately turning to u, eyes hardly even shifting but u just know he’s hurling insults in his head

- he doesnt realize his own strength sometimes. like- he knows he’s strong, but if u ever open a door n ur like “woah, careful, this is heavier than it looks” bakugou is .2 steps behind u practically ripping the damn thing off it’s hinges. he’ll look at it, huffing like he doesn’f even understand the issue

- he rlly likes when u call him by his name. pet names are fine, but he srsly is super soft for the simple stuff. like when u look over at him, all excited, smile wide like “hey katsuki, u gotta see this! c’mere!”

- his road rage is severe. no rlly. bakugou drives like every day is a race n he’s one win away from going formula one. you’re pretty sure that the only reason he passed his license test is bc the instuctor was too terrified to tell him no

- bakugou probably does that thing where if you’re sitting on the counter top, watching him cook, he’ll stand between ur legs. hands on ur thighs or resting on ur hips while you tell him about your day

- can’t explain this one, but he doesnt kill spiders. he takes them outside. says sum “they eat ticks, idiot. what- you actually want a fuckin’ blood disease? Hah? ‘m not gonna kill it. motherfucker’s gotta earn his keep before dyin’ just like the rest of us.” while he v gently picks the spider up into his hand and walks it outside

- ik that his one cheat food is sugary cereal. like, he’s a health freak, but the one thing he can’t help but make a concession for is sugary cereal on the weekends

- he’ll sometimes get in this over-stimulated mood where everything pisses him off, n the only thing u can do is leave him alone. u learn this quick bc his anger doesn’t discrimminate and if u push him even after he tells u what’s up?? pls bakugou will lash tf out. at u. like, ik y’all like to write it but that whole “it’s okay- it’s just me. just look at me.” thing does not work with him,,, u literally gonna get merc’d if u try

- he’s probably a guy who’s gonna be super big on passing touches. like he drops his hand on ur head when he passes, or bumps his shoulder into urs when he laughs. no footsies tho. too sappy even for him- pls if u tried to initate that he’d crush ur toes under the table aHAHAHA

- feeds every street cat he comes across. is probably super fond of the ones with a bunch of scratches/scars on them. he’d die if u knew, but one time u caught him feeding a scratched up calico n going “bet u beat his stupid ass, right? that’s my girl. we always win, huh?”

—/—

surprise suprise,, my brain rlly never shuts the hell up about this man

9. Education, training or literacy

Are kids taught torture is good actually or just to not question authority? Does the language restrict thinking and expression like in 1984?

Yes i do compare everything to 1984

Ahahaha valid and yeah I'm gonna start by answering the language and 1984 thing because OH BOY i have OPINIONS

like LOOK. I think the Sapir Whorf hypothesis is cool and totally makes sense. A person's thoughts and and perceptions are ABSOLUTELY influenced by the words available to describe them, the structure that their thoughts are organized into to be able to be expressed by language (honestly that sentence ((not,, actually a sentence either)) probably didn't make sense but wtv), and how different parts of the language relate to itself. But I think it's KINDA BULLSHIT to say that language can just strictly control thought. Languages evolve naturally and you can't police exactly how it's used. People think outside of words. People invent new words. Just look at fucking France lmao it is simply not possible to control exactly how people use language

anyway, rant over, back to the VMD

the VMD language is honestly just like,, very natural lmao, I didn't really try to play with any funky linguistics yknow weird stuff with it. It's a combination of two real existing languages (Kalaallisut aka Greenlandic and Icelandic) and it's just like. It's pretty normal. There are certainly some Quirks that relate to their culture a bit, and I made it RIDICULOUSLY agglutinative just for shits and giggles, but like honestly it's just a normal ass language

another reason that like language controlling thoughts wouldn't really fit into the vmd is like, honestly you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that isn't bilingual, and even those that can't speak another language fluently have definitely been exposed to other languages and have had to learn one in school for many years. Like you can't really be like, oh our language controls your thoughts if people can just, use a different language lmao. Especially with military officers, like, they're probably the people that you'd expect to be the most "brainwashed" or indoctrinated or whatever you wanna call it, and officers are all required to be fluent in at least one foreign language

anyway, so I guess this is a good spot to transition into education. First off, education on languages ig? Yeah like in primary education, all schools teach a foreign language, but kids don't usually get a choice in which one. Sometimes the language that different schools offer is a factor in parents choosing what school to send their child to. In secondary education, students get to choose what languages they're studying, and they also don't have to learn it like, all the time. There's just a minimum number of classes they have to take over six years.

education in general, honestly, pretty great! like everything is free and they're generally pretty chill, there's not like too much pressure to yknow go to like a High School and uni and whatnot, skilled labour and like polytechnic/college education is very much valued and you're very unlikely to be judged by many people for not going to postsec at all. hmmmmm it was honestly more of a mess before the revolution, but look for all their faults the military did make education a LOT better for everyone, and honestly like if I get into the history this is gonna get way too long. But yeah the way things stand during the rule of the junta, there are like? sort of? no private schools? like ig they have like, charter schools sort of. that kind of do their special thing and are competitive to get into, usually with entrance tests and whatnot, but it's all tax funded. The military government has really tried to make education accessible to everyone regardless of socioeconomic status, but u n f o r t u n a t e l y yknow if you're wanted for terrorism you're probably not sending your kids to schools run by the people that want to torture you. and again yeah this would get WAY too long if I get into like what the rebels were doing for education later on

as for the torture. well. i mean. it's complicated. the VMD just,, culturally,, have always had a Thing for like physical pain as punishment and like a way to show loyalty and whatever, but it was never shit like what the military was doing now. The current narrative fed to children just tend to be stuff like oh yknow they're bad people who deserve it, they knew the risks and they basically chose to get tortured for their cause and it doesn't matter what their cause is (it's bad btw you're not supposed to support it) they made that choice themselves so it's okay to torture them, and yeah definitely don't question authority unless you wanna get tortured too. Within the military though, like with the ""hazing"" that's basically straight up torture of lower ranking members and cadets, yeah again they have a long history of it and it's always presented as like, oh if you want the power and honor of being in the military you're gonna have to give something up and that something is your pain, and it's just very normalized

I’m not a huge Kou fan myself, but he’s the main bias of my best friend so I’m always reminded of her when I translate his CDs. :p I used to find his voice quite annoying in the past, but in this CD, it didn’t bother me too much.

Track 1: Blindfolded

“...Hey!”

*Creaaak*

“Hey, you...!”

*Creaaak*

“Are you listening?”

*Rustle rustle*

“Say, say...~”

*Rustle rustle*

[00:15] “...Ah! Seems like you finally woke up! Ahー Thank god! You just kept on snoozing forever, for a second I thought you’d never wake up again!”

You look around, seeming confused.

“Eh? You want to know where you are...? Eeh...~ How cruel! You don’t recall? ーー Everything that happened before getting here, I mean.”

You flinch.

“Ahaha~ Seems like you remembered, huh? Exactly. I kidnapped you here~”

You ask him why.

[00:52] “...’Why’? You’ve been asking an awful lot of questions this whole time, haven’t you? Oh well, I guess it can’t be helped. After all, you’re currently stuck in pitch-black darkness. I guess it makes sense to grow anxious or scared...Fufufu~ But rest assured.”

*Rustle*

“I’ll explain the whole situation step by step, okay? First and foremost, you’re currently blindfolded, lying on top of my - Mukami Kou-kun’sーー

*Rustle*

ーー bed, you see~”

*Rustle rustle*

[01:31] “As for why I kidnapped you. Hmー There’s a few, but one of them would be because you’re a special human. ...Fufu~ Do you know what that means? It basically implies that you’re in a different league from just any other regular human out there. You might not be aware of it yourself, but to our species, your existence stands out as extraordinary.”

*Rustle*

“Actually, you know that already, don’t you? You’re being kept as a pet over at the Sakamaki manor after all.”

You protest.

“...Eh? You’re not being ‘kept’? Ah, sorry, sorry! I didn’t quite put it right, did I? I take back my words. More accurately, you’re their...prey, aren’t you?”

He pins you down.

*Thud*

[02:23] “Fufu...Ahahaha~ No need to look so dissatisfied. It’s the truth, isn’t it? Besides, that’s the second reason which made me interested in you so I dare argue it’s a good thing?”

*Creaaak*

“Hm? You want to know who I am? Didn’t I name myself earlier? You’ve got such bad memory.”

You shake your head.

[02:51] “Ah...That’s not what you meant? Ahー Gotcha. Hm...Can I spill the beans already? But I feel like Ruki-kun will give me an earful if I do and he’s a pain to deal with when he’s upset. ...Let’s see...~ Fufu...~ I’ll tell you when I feel like it, okay?”

*Creaaak*

“Anyway, I gave you an answer to your questions so happy now? More importantly, I want to know about you first. All sorts of things...~”

*Rustle*

[03:32] “We actually managed to get a hold of their weakness, so just like Ruki-kun is always saying, I should get an idea of what I’m dealing with. So to start off, I better do a little investigating to find out what exactly makes you so special...~”

*Rustle rustle*

“Fufu~ You’re shaking...My touch is still foreign to you, isn’t it? No need to be so scared though. I’m a nice guy after all.”

He pulls you close.

[04:04] “Here, I’ll stroke your head for you. ...Good girl, good girl...So stop trembling, okay?”

*Rustle*

“Hm...You’re more alert than I thought. Fufu~ You’re letting them have their way with you despite that?”

You protest again.

[04:28] “How odd...Or perhaps you’re simply feigning this cautious attitude? In that case, you’re one hell of a naughty kitten~ They say that a skillful hunter gets a kick out of going after highly alert prey and honestly, I think I may understand where they’re coming from. It’s boring when something is too easy to get. ーー I can already get my hands on pretty much everything I want through my job after all.”

*Rustle*

“...Ah! But I don’t really like how I’m implying those guys are skilled by saying that. What do you think? As the one they’re hunting for, how do you feel about them?”

You remain quiet.

[05:17] “Heeey~ Aren’t you going to answer? Giving me the silent treatment is a little mean, don’t you think? Hmー I guess it’s a little difficult of a question to start off with. In that case, let me ask you an easy one. Ah, right! How about this? ーー Does it really feel good to have them suck your blood? You know, does it make you feel like you’ve ascended to another world? Like your body is just floating mid-air~”

*Rustle*

“...No answer once again? You really are dull, geez. What will get you to talk? Should I ask you about your favorite spots? Or perhaps you really don’t care about those guys at all?”

*Rustle*

[06:12] “Ahー I’m kind of fed up with this already. I’m out here trying my best to be nice and all I get in return is the cold shoulder. What are you playing at?”

You explain.

“...You can’t say those things to someone you’ve only just met? Heh~ I see...That makes sense now that you mention it. In that case, I suppose I have to introduce myself  first.”

Track 2: Mukami Kou

He removes the blindfold.

*Rustle*

“Here. Take a cloooose look at my face. I removed your blindfold as well. See? I’m this close to you. Our lips could almost touch.”

You look straight at him.

[00:19] “...Fufu~ Can you see me? I guess I should say ‘nice to meet you’? I’m sorry for suddenly abducting you like that earlier~ However, it would have been difficult to take you away otherwise. I guess you could say it was the optimal timing? It really was my one chance.

...Say, are you the type who doesn’t watch television very often? Well, I guess you don’t strike me as a girl who would.”

You tilt your head to the side.

“Ah, no, I’m just talking to myself. I just figured that you’d probably recognize me if you watched TV every now and then. Not that it matters though.”

*Rustle*

[00:57] “But really, things went surprisingly well if I may say so myself. I’m sure those guys are frantically looking around for you right about now. After all, their precious little treat was snatched away from right underneath their nose, haha~! Fufu...Ahahaha! Just remembering those foolish expressions on their faces makes me laugh.”

*Rustle rustle*

“And I’m going to dig into their precious meal soon...Haah...Somehow just being this close to you makes my breath hitch.”

*Rustle*

“Is this what you’re capable of? Say, how come you’re this delicious?”

*Sniff sniff*

“...You smell amazing. What kind of scent is this? Hm...~”

Kou takes a deep breath.

[01:55] “I can’t get enough of it...I wonder where it’s coming from?”

*Sniff sniff*

“Not here...”

*Rustle*

“Then here maybe?”

*Sniff*

“I can’t quite tell through your clothes...”

*Rustle rustle*

“Why not take them off? It’s not like you need them, do you? ...Come on, hurry. The scent on the fabric is throwing me off.”

*Rustle*

“Come on, go ahead!”

You hesitate.

[02:29] “...Hurry up, will you? You might not guess it, but I’m not the most patient guy around. If you refuse to take them off yourself...You’re not going to have a good time.”

You refuse.

“...Tsk. Ahー What a fucking drag! Do you think I’m a joke or something? Do you have any idea what’ll happen if you oppose me like that?”

*Creaaak*

“Ugh...”

*Thud*

“I’ve gotten a little irritated you see. And once that happens, everything starts to annoy me. So that look you’re giving me...Ahaha...It pisses me off.”

*Rustle*

[03:12] “...I’m going to gauge out those eyes of yours, for real. I happen to kind of like that sorta stuff.”

You start taking off your clothes.

“...Huh? You’re gonna strip? Ahー So you’ve chosen to obey? How boring. I just had so many good ideas of things to do to you.”

*Rustle rustle*

“Anyway, if you’re just gonna bend to someone’s will in the end anyway, wouldn’t it be better to simply listen from the very start? Or did you want me to snap at you?”

You shake your head.

“Ah, I see! Right! You’re that kind of girl, aren’t you? You wanted me to lose my temper...so I’d treat you horribly, right? Fufu~ What an M-neko-chan you are~”

You seem confused by the nickname.

[04:03] “Hm? You want to know what ‘M-neko’ means? Isn’t that obvious? You’re more stupid than I thought. The ‘M’ is the same one as in ‘Do-M’, duh! Masochists, you know? You’re the type of girl who gets a kick out of the pain, aren’t you?”

*Creaaak*

“With that kind of personality, I can understand why you’d enjoy spending time with those guys. We’re capable of pleasing you in ways a regular human never could after all. Fufu...~ Is it true the pain is addictive?”

You try and explain.

[04:45] “When you put it like that, I almost want to turn into a human girl for one day and have a bunch of Vampires feast upon my blood~ Well, of course, I much prefer being the one doing the sucking. ...Aah, I was told this as well. Apparently having your blood sucked feels like strong currents of electricity running through your entire body, is that true? How nice~ I’m envious~”

You frown.

“That being said, I’d rather not get bitten myself. I’d love to get a taste of that pleasure, but I’d rather die than let some other Vampire pierce me with his fangs. Heh~ ...Ah, oh no, I’ve been rambling...”

*Rustle*

[05:39] “Come on, take those clothes off. I’ll figure out where this delicious scent is coming from first. You’re hiding it underneath that dull (1) outfit of yours, aren’t you? ーー Your precious secret~”

You start to take off the rest of your clothes.

“Fufu...Exactly~ You’ve got to show me your meek side like that, or else I might just poke your eyes out~”

You tell him you’re done.

[06:08] “...Eh? You took them off? Now don’t be ridiculous. When I say ‘strip’, I obviously meant everything, right? You move your jacket to the side a little and call that ‘taking off your clothes’? Heeh...You really must be making fun of me, aren’t you? ...Listen, I hate being ridiculed more than anything...There are many girls in this world who would kill to be in this kind of situation with me, you know? Yet here you are, living that dream...”

*Rustle*

“Ah, right! You’re just pretending to be embarrassed but you’re actually happy, aren’t you?”

*Rustle*

“Oh! Or perhaps...You want me to rip you apart? I would never resort to such violent actions though. I mean, there’s nothing fun about tearing apart someone who won’t even scream from the pain, is there? Fufu...~”

Tower 2 EP 6-66 Entire Chapter

EP 6-66-1

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus

JAMIL: It’s so deep I can’t see the bottom. JAMIL: The staff called this place “Tartarus,” correct? I wonder how many stairs it has.

LEONA: They mentioned it’s got twelve floors, but the map doesn’t say how many stairs there are between each floor. LEONA: Hey, gimme one of those tinkling things in your hair.

JAMIL: Huh? Oh, um, here.

Toss

Fyuuuuuuu…

LEONA: … No sound of it hitting the bottom. Looks like it’s safe to say there’s way over thirty, no, fifty staircases heading down.

JAMIL: Did you really have to use something of mine to test that?

LEONA: Then don’t hand it over in the first place. Quit sweating the small stuff.

JAMIL: … I’m not “sweating the small stuff.” It’s an honor to be of assistance.

LEONA: That ain’t what your smile says.

JAMIL: We should probably start by obtaining the anti-Phantom weapon “Thunder Spear.”

LEONA: It’s in the sixth floor storeroom, right?

JAMIL: According to the map, there’s an elevator nearby- there it is.

LEONA: No doubt it’s locked up to keep us from heading further down.

Whirrrrrr

Whoosh

JAMIL+LEONA: …

LEONA: And the moment we get to it, the doors open all on their own. LEONA: Those damn brothers are goading us on.

JAMIL: This entire facility’s under Ortho’s control, after all. JAMIL: I’m sure this is a trap. As it may be dangerous, I’ll go first-

LEONA: Let’s get a move on.

JAMIL: Wai- hold on- Leona! Please don’t barge ahead by yourself!

ORTHO: Hello! Welcome, Tower 2 participants, to the haunted asylum “Tartarus!”

JAMIL: Aaaand there he is.

ORTHO: Aw come on, why the lackluster response? I hoped you’d be a bit more surprised.

LEONA: We pitiful humans can’t possibly fathom the depths of a robot’s mind, now can we?

ORTHO: … Hehe. A “robot’s,” huh? ORTHO: Guess I’ll have to work a little harder for a bigger surprise next time! Of course… ORTHO: That’s if there’s a next time.

JAMIL: What?

ORTHO: I wonder if the two of you will be able to overcome the trials we’ve got planned?

LEONA: Trials?

JAMIL: Just what are you planning…!? Please stand back, Leona!

LEONA: How’s anyone supposed to “stand back” in a tiny little elevator like this? Geez, you’re annoying.

ORTHO: Tadaaa!

JAMIL: Hm? “Hydra’s Counterattack” is shining on the wall?

LEONA: You mean that ridiculous game we killed time with earlier?

ORTHO: That’s right! Your first trial is to clear “Hydra’s Counterattack!” ORTHO: If you can clear this game, I’ll grant you both the right to challenge us!

JAMIL: A video game? Now? What is he planning? JAMIL: Leona, I’ll play it.

LEONA: You will?

JAMIL: Challenging this recklessly is too dangerous when we have no idea what kind of traps there might be.

LEONA: It’s seriously just a TV video game.

JAMIL: We can’t be to careful. For example, we could get shocked the moment we grip the controller-

ORTHO: Come oooon, you’re overthinking this. I wouldn’t do something that violent.

LEONA: Hahhh… whatever. If you’re that hyped then have at it.

ORTHO: Our player this time is Jamil Viper! I can’t wait to see how he’ll do! ORTHO: Ready? Start!

Game Start

LOSE!

EP 6-66-2

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus

LEONA: Ahahaha! A game over in seconds? Laaaame.

JAMIL: Hold on a moment!! JAMIL: What was that!? The difficulty level so much higher than when Leona played!!

ORTHO: Of course it was! There’s no fun in playing a game the same way twice!

LEONA: Pretty lame show from someone who talked so big.

JAMIL: Who’s side are you on!? JAMIL: Still, I’ll take responsibility for my own loss. If it comes to it, I’ll sacrifice myself to-

ORTHO: Don’t take it so seriously! Games are for having fun, after all. ORTHO: All right, I’ll lower the difficulty for you! ORTHO: Grab that controller and get ready to try again!

Game Start

WIN!

EP 6-66-3

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus

JAMIL: All right! How’s that!?

ORTHO: This time you scored pretty high! Experience matters for sure. ORTHO: I hope you keep up that momentum and blast through the next few missions of Tartarus!

JAMIL: “Missions?”

ORTHO: Yep! From here on is an ultra hard dungeon chock-full of Phantoms. ORTHO: Better be careful so you don’t get ambushed by any monsters too high above your current level!

LEONA: Doesn’t matter to me what pops out on us. I’m gonna make it all the way down there and blow out both your hair. LEONA: Better look forward to it.

ORTHO: … Got it. I’ll wait right here with my big brother. ORTHO: I’m really, reaaaally and truly looking forward to seeing you!

LEONA: The hell’s that supposed to mean? “Looking forward to seeing you?”

JAMIL: I agree. JAMIL: Calling Tartarus an “ultra hard dungeon” and treating this like a game…

LEONA: What, would that make all of us characters they’re controlling? Don’t make me laugh.

JAMIL: It seems this elevator won’t go any further. Let’s proceed down these stairs with caution instead. JAMIL: As we have no idea what could happen form here on out, please stay close to me.

LEONA: Hahh…

Ep 6-66-4 Tower 2

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus- Emergency Exit

JAMIL: All this walking and I’m still cold. JAMIL: This place is unexpectedly chilly.

LEONA: Tartarus is supposed to be a giant Phantom freezer. LEONA: If they started building this place back in the era of the gods, that’d explain why it’s set into the freezing depths of the ocean.

JAMIL: It’s not a good match-up for us, who are from the Sunset Savannah and the Scalding Sands.

LEONA: For sure. I can’t call this place comfy even with our temperature-regulating dorm uniforms.

JAMIL: Oh, do you need an extra layer? You’re welcome to borrow my sweater and adjust it with magic-

LEONA: Who asked for that? Besides, that’d defeat the purpose- you’d be slowing down from cold instead. LEONA: I’d rather hurry up and rip the leaves off that Radish Sprout so I can vacate this place and get some sleep.

JAMIL: Right. I’m worried about our school too.

LEONA: … Worried? About that place?

JAMIL: As of now the only housewardens remaining at Nightraven College are Malleus and Kalim. JAMIL: The entire school, Scarabia included, are no doubt chaotic right now.

LEONA: Hmmm LEONA: You’re saying you’re worried about leaving your housewarden in charge by his lonesome, is that right?

JAMIL: No, that’s not what I meant. Aren’t you concerned about the students of your dorm as well? JAMIL: Savanaclaw has no vice housewarden. Surely they’re in a panic with your absence.

LEONA: As if I care. They can do what they want.

JAMIL: How can you irresponsibly pass this off with “as if I care?” - Hm? JAMIL: I didn’t notice it before thanks to the draft coming from below, but… there’s another breeze.

LEONA: Yep. A light wind’s been blow at us from the side for the past few minutes.

JAMIL: Ah! Just ahead there’s a small side path from the wall!

LEONA: Too dark to see into it, and it’s a perfect place for anything to hide. LEONA: I’d say there’s a good chance a Phantom that’s thawed out already is hiding in there.

JAMIL: Please stand back. I’ll check it out alone.

LEONA: Huh? LEONA: Say what?

JAMIL: Hm? JAMIL: You’re the second prince of the Sunset Savannah as well as the housewarden of Savanaclaw. It’s only natural I go first. JAMIL: On top of that, I’m lighter on my feet. Oh, of course I’m not calling you slow or anything.

LEONA: ………

JAMIL: Simply put, I’m worried about you. Nothing I could do would make up for it if anything happened to you.

LEONA: Hah! Worried? “Make up for it?” LEONA: You actually think that you need to- hold up.

???: Screeee!!

LEONA: Looks like we’re too late. Something’s heading our way.

JAMIL: Of course it is… We’ll just have to face it!

EP 6-66-5

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus- Emergency Exit

PHANTOM: Screeeeee!!

Fshhhhh…

JAMIL: The Phantom dissolved into… a black sludge? It’s Blot! JAMIL: Ack, Leona, please don’t get too close to it! It might affect you!

LEONA: Tch. You don’t gotta keep warning me about the dangers of Blot or getting too close to enemies- I already know! LEONA: … Now that I get a good look at it that stuff’s disgusting. Makes my skin crawl.

JAMIL: The way it oozes like spilt ink, staining whatever it touches, then dries and vanishes- JAMIL: … Had we been stuck in Overblot, we might’ve ended up like that too.

LEONA: Hmm. LEONA: All mages are affected by Blot, no exceptions. The weaker and more untrained the mage, the worse the effect. LEONA: “I’ll check it out alone”? Well don’t you sound confident.

JAMIL: I simply chose the most efficient course of action. Since this is an emergency, we need to be extra cautious. JAMIL: According to the map, there’s an asylum where Phantoms are stored up ahead. JAMIL: The one from a few minutes ago might have escaped from there. JAMIL: From here on out we’ll doubtless be met with more and stronger Phantoms. JAMIL: I’d really prefer if we don’t intentionally seek out extra danger.

LEONA: Hahhh… what’re you, a herbivore cowering in the grass?

JAMIL: Wha- I’m not cowering from anything! I’m trying to make up for your lack of caution!

LEONA: That so? Whatever. Do what you want.

JAMIL: Then I’ll do exactly that.

EP 6-66-6

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus- Asylum

LEONA: I’m gonna wager a guess that all these tough-looking crates are cages.

JAMIL: The entire wall is made up of them. Are there Phantoms in every one of these?

ORTHO: That’s right!

JAMIL+LEONA: !!

ORTHO: You get to enjoy popping them open to find out what kind of surprise Phantom’s inside! ORTHO: It’s like opening a birthday present! Exciting, right?

LEONA: Ortho… how about showing yourself already? I missed you.

ORTHO: Oops! Hi there! ORTHO: It’s great to see the both of you are in tip top shape.

JAMIL: No thanks to you.

ORTHO: I thought loooong and hard after Leona Kingscholar said “We can’t possibly fathom the depths of a robot’s mind.” ORTHO: We’re finally all playing a game together, so it’s got to be an extra fun one! ORTHO: If “being human” means doing things that no person or machine expected… then I’ll pull it off too! ORTHO: Take a look at the top of the cage to your right.

LEONA: To the right… A paper? The hell? LEONA: D, O, U, R- “dour?” What’s this supposed to be, an introductory letter from your home?

ORTHO: Wroooong! That’s a password you’re going to need to get through here.

JAMIL: A password? JAMIL: Does that mean to “pass through here” the ID card we’ve used until now will be-?

ORTHO: You got it! I’ve already deleted the ID card you have on hand from the security system. It won’t work anymore. ORTHO: If you want to open this asylum’s door and move to the next stage you’ll need either a matching ID card or the correct password. ORTHO: What Leona Kingscholar has is only half of the password you need to open that door. ORTHO: The other half iiiis… hidden in one of these cages! ORTHO: Your next trial is to find the right password, open the door and continue on your quest! ORTHO: Best of luck to you!

LEONA: Damn, can’t punch a hologram.

JAMIL: By “hidden in one of the cages,” does he mean we have to open them ourselves?

???: Grahhh!!

LEONA: Looks like our jack-in-the-box is all ready to pop out on its own.

JAMIL: The caged Phantoms are starting to wake up. The longer we take, the worse our situation gets.

LEONA: Yeah, little though I wanna trust that midget’s words, it doesn’t look like we’re getting that door open or leaving from where we came anytime soon otherwise. LEONA: This is a total headache, but we’d better get started cracking open those cages and checking out the contents.

JAMIL: I’m opening the cage. Please stand behind me.

LEONA: Tch, don’t order me around.

JAMIL: Then please do so before I have to say anything.

LEONA: Hahhh…

JAMIL: Judging by where the latch is on the cages that are already open, this cage’s latch is… there! Take that!

???: Graahhhhh!

JAMIL: It’s a Phantom!

LEONA: I can see that. We’re taking it out.

Battle

Victory!

LEONA: What’s the password?

JAMIL: Hmm. It seems to be “lion.”

LEONA: Lion?

JAMIL: In other words, “dour lion.” Or, “a grumpy lion.”

LEONA: Quit screwing with me-!

JAMIL: That password seems to be incorrect. I do think the contents were correct, at least.

LEONA: Your lip’s the one thing you’ve got going for you, huh?

PTM- 28155

LEONA: Next up’s that cage.

JAMIL: I’ll open this one too.

LEONA: I see Scarabia’s vice housewarden is still a child at heart. Can’t wait to crack open a present box, can we?

JAMIL: Wha- I just want to- JAMIL: Hahhh, talking to this person is pointless. I just have to put up with him until I’ve done what I need to.

???: Gyahhhh!

LEONA: And here comes our enemy. Let’s take it down.

Battle

Victory!

LEONA: Looks like there’s a password here.

JAMIL: “Fin present?” What does that mean?

LEONA: … “Fin ‘d our’ present.” They want us to find their present ourselves.

JAMIL: They sure are having fun mocking us, aren’t they?

LEONA: And on top of that it’s the wrong password.

JAMIL: Tch. That makes it even more irritating.

PTM- 11913

JAMIL: Please stand back while I open this cage.

LEONA: Well aren’t you all fired up. LEONA: Now that you’re done with your oh-so-helpful warning, can you get to it already?

Bang!

???: Screeeeeeeech!!

Battle

Victory!

PHANTOM: Gyaaaaahh!!

JAMIL: That takes care of that cage’s Phantom.

LEONA: Any password note?

JAMIL: Let me see… here it is!

LEONA: What’s it say?

JAMIL: It says… JAMIL: … We should head for the door. JAMIL: It opened! So those words were correct.

LEONA: I’d figured that midget coulda been spilling nothing but lies, but looks like he wasn’t. LEONA: So? What was the password?

JAMIL: … You’re better off not knowing. It’s ticked me off, at least.

LEONA: Just spill it.

JAMIL: Hahh. JAMIL: The only thing on that note was the word “best.”

LEONA: “Best?” If we connect that with the first word were given, we get… LEONA: “Do UR best!” LEONA: Those little- mocking us like this-!!

JAMIL: And that is exactly why I didn’t want to tell you- it would infuriate anyone.

EP 6-66-8

S.T.Y.X. Tartarus- Emergency Exit

JAMIL: The stairs continue down from here.

JAMIL: There’s a good chance that any Phantoms that escaped are hiding up ahead like the those we came across earlier. JAMIL: On top of that we have no idea what else Ortho left in wait for us. Please proceed with care.

LEONA: Phantoms aside, I doubt we’ve gotta worry about that Radish Sprout and his little brother for the time being. LEONA: As fixated as those two are on calling this whole deal a “game,” LEONA: There’s only so much they can do to mess with us all the way from that bottom floor. LEONA: My guess is the most we can expect while on these stairs is a Phantom or five getting in our way. LEONA: Though now that I think about it, they’re going about this in a real roundabout way. Hmmm…

JAMIL: You’re right. JAMIL: I did notice something regarding Ortho, to be honest. JAMIL: If you may recall, when you were fascinated by the game screen while we were passing time earlier today-

LEONA: You looking to become sand?

JAMIL: I’m not the one who described it that way. JAMIL: As I was saying, when you were “batting at the screen,” as Vil and Idia put it…

LEONA: ……

JAMIL: None of us felt the slightest hint of malice from Ortho.

LEONA: Of course not. He’s a robot. They don’t feel emotions in the first place. LEONA: The most they can do is display reactions according to their programming. LEONA: They’re neither good nor evil.

JAMIL: I’m aware. JAMIL: However, when you mocked him for being a robot earlier, Ortho was visibly annoyed. JAMIL: And when he fired back that he would have a “surprise” waiting for us, there was clear malice in his words. JAMIL: Almost as if he were a real human.

LEONA: A human, huh. LEONA: I’d buy it if Idia programmed him to act like an annoying little brat.

???: Screeeech!

JAMIL: Look out!

LEONA: Wha-!?

JAMIL: The Phantom climbed up from below!

PHANTOM: Screee, screeee!!

JAMIL: I’ll clean this one up in a heartbeat!

EP 6-66-9

JAMIL: Phew. Are you all right, Leona?

LEONA: Am I “all right”…? LEONA: What the hell were you thinking?

JAMIL: Huh? What do you mean-

LEONA: I’m not so pathetic I need you jumping in front of every little thing to protect me.

JAMIL: That wasn’t my intention at all-

LEONA: Deflecting an attack like that’s child’s play. You think I didn’t notice that Phantom was there? LEONA: The plan was to lure it to a wider area and take it out all at once, not to flail around on this narrow staircase. LEONA: Impressive how badly you managed to screw that up by needlessly “protecting” me.

JAMIL: Then why didn’t you tell me what you were planning ahead of time instead of complaining after the fact when I interfere because I didn’t know? JAMIL: Besides, I took what I judged to be the best course of action after you told me “to what I want.”

LEONA: Sure, that’s what I said. What I didn’t say was to drag me down with you.

JAMIL: Drag you down?

LEONA: You got hurt “protecting” me, didn’t you? Don’t bother pretending you didn’t. LEONA: We’re marching through enemy territory and they’re all gonna come flooding at us now that one of us has shown weakness. LEONA: If I’d have known you’d , I’d have gone with that eight-faced octo-creep instead. LEONA: Instead I’m saddled with dead weight.

JAMIL: … “Dead weight?” As if. Unlike Azul, I’ve been trained as an escort. JAMIL: Clearly that makes me a better choice to protect you than someone with no stamina. JAMIL: As intelligent as you are, I’m sure you can see that much.

LEONA: You seriously haven’t noticed a thing, have you? I’m starting to pity you.

JAMIL: Say what?

LEONA: Now’s not the time- there’s the door to the next asylum.

JAMIL: Wait- I’m not done- JAMIL: … Hmph. You’ll find yourself in trouble soon enough. JAMIL: And when you do, you’ll regret that you didn’t listen when I said to be careful.

ORTHO: Welcome to the third trial!

JAMIL+LEONA: ……

ORTHO: Is something wrong? Did you get into a fight?

JAMIL: None of your business.

ORTHO: Ooooh, scaryyyy! Don’t lash out at me just because you’re sulking! ORTHO: I’m worried whether you’ll be able to complete your next trial at this rate, that’s all. ORTHO: And the next mission iiiis… “He who controls the water controls all!” ORTHO: A real hero keeps fighting even when he’s up to his knees, after all!

LEONA: Water? Are you talking about those pools of water?

ORTHO: Exactly! Those puddles are a coolant to keep everything here nice and cold.

???: Is anyone there!? Help me!!

JAMIL: Was that a voice!?

LEONA: It’s coming from by that toppled cage!

RESEARCHER: Please, help me- cough cough!

JAMIL: Is that a S.T.Y.X. employee? Did he get caught in the coolant and miss his chance to escape? JAMIL: It’s dangerous here! Please get out of there and-

RESEARCHER: I can’t!

LEONA: Tch… Real fine hobbies you got there Ortho, tying people by the ankle to cages so they’re stuck in coolant.

JAMIL: I’ll use magic to sever the rope.

ORTHO: Hmmm, are you sure it’ll be that easy? What if it’s not a normal rope?

LEONA: Say what?

ORTHO: That’s one of the cables controlling everything in this asylum. Cut that cable and ALL the cages in here will pop open! ORTHO: The only way to rescue the researcher without that happening is to unlock the shackle around his ankle! ORTHO: And those cages are real heavy- the longer you wait, the deeper he sinks. Heehee! ORTHO: Can you find the key before the researcher drowns? ORTHO: Best of luck to you!

RESEARCHER: Save me!! My foot’s tied to this cage-!

JAMIL: At this rate he’s going to drown!

LEONA: Tch… Looks like for this “trial” we’ve gotta save that researcher if we wanna keep going.

JAMIL: … Clearly this isn’t the place or time to be bickering with one another.

LEONA: Got that right. Let’s hurry up and find that key. LEONA: Hey you, where’d Ortho hide the key?

RESEARCHER: Sa- save meeee!! I don’t want- to drown-!!!

JAMIL: He’s panicking too much to hear us. We’re better off breaking into those cages ourselves.

LEONA: Looks like we’ve found ourselves an extra lively Phantom.

JAMIL: Indeed. It may burst out as soon as we open the door. JAMIL: Perhaps we should distance ourselves from the cage before using any magic. Leona, you should step back as well- JAMIL: Le- Leona!?

LEONA: Quit dawdling, here it comes!

Battle

Victory!

LEONA: … No key, huh. What a waste of time.

JAMIL: What were you thinking?

LEONA: Hmmm? Is there perhaps something bothering you?

JAMIL: The one to open the cage should have been me, if you’d read the room instead of blasting the cage from behind me.

LEONA: Oh, were you looking forward to opening the cage that much? So sorry for stealing your fun. LEONA: And here I thought you were getting cold feet, backing up like that.

JAMIL: Absolutely not! I was moving back in case the Phantom were to attack straight away-

LEONA: I got it, I got it. Now drop it so we can move on to the next cage.

PTM- 2510

JAMIL: I’ll open this cage next. JAMIL: (Or so I say, but it’s dangerous to keep using magic so carelessly.) JAMIL: (I’d rather not run out of energy before we get to our goal. Best to hold back any way I can.) JAMIL: Le- Leona!? Please don’t blast open the cage out of nowhere!

LEONA: You sit there and watch. I’ll have this cleaned up in a heartbeat.

JAMIL: Huh? Leona!? Hold up! JAMIL: Who do you think I chose to be the one to open the cage for!? Dammit, why does he keep doing everything out of nowhere-!

Battle

Victory!

LEONA: … No key here.

JAMIL: Unfortunately. JAMIL: About earlier…

LEONA: Earlier? … Oh, that. LEONA: Why’d you join in after I told you to sit back and watch?

JAMIL: As if I could listen to that when we have no idea what could happen here! JAMIL: How many times must I ask you to not go off and do things by yourself? JAMIL: Hahhh… This is wearing me out. Please, please don’t do that again.

PTM- 5044

LEONA: Next up’s this one.

JAMIL: All right. I’m ready to open it. Hah! JAMIL: … Nothing’s coming out. Is this cage empty? JAMIL: I’ll take a closer look, and you can-

LEONA: Stay back, you idiot!

???: Gugyaaaahhhh!

JAMIL: Ngh-!!

LEONA: Damn, you’re such a handful.

JAMIL: Leona…!

LEONA: Save the thanks for later!

Battle

Victory!

LEONA: This one’s got nothing.

JAMIL: … Thank you for helping me. JAMIL: I’ll be sure to return the favor as soon as possible.

LEONA: Too bad I’m not expecting much. C’mon, let’s head for the next one.

JAMIL: Ghh… JAMIL: … All this trouble doesn’t change the fact that working together with Leona has worked well for me. JAMIL: For now I need to be patient.

PTM- 8812

LEONA: Think it’s this cage?

RESEARCHER: Whatever it takes- I don’t care- please- save meeee!!

LEONA: This guy’s freaking out so bad he’s not hearing a word we say.

JAMIL: He’s actually making it harder to help him. This just goes to show how important it is to retain one’s calm at all times. JAMIL: … Whether or not there’s a key in there, the Phantom in that cage has definitely woken up.

LEONA: Time to take it out and see if it’s got a key.

Battle

Victory!

Clink!

JAMIL: There’s the key! This was the right cage after all. Now to free the S.T.Y.X. employee.

RESEARCHER: Hurry… ugh… I can’t- breathe…!

JAMIL: Please calm down and stop flailing about! I’m trying to help you!

LEONA: Hold on a sec. LEONA: You. Stand up.

RESEARCHER: Huh? Stand?

EVERYONE: ……

JAMIL: For the love of- JAMIL: The coolant barely reaches your chest!

RESEARCHER: I guess I was freaking out so much I never noticed…

LEONA: Is everyone here at S.T.Y.X. a complete idiot?

RESEARCHER: Urk… now I’m being mocked by students… RESEARCHER: I got too scared to think straight, sorry.

LEONA: If you’ve got time to get depressed you’ve got time to hand over any password or ID card we can use to keep going down. LEONA: You’ve work here, you’ve got one, right

RESEARCHER: Yeah. I’ll be in your way if I come with, but I want to say- RESEARCHER: Please, save this Isle of Woe- no, save the world!

LEONA: No. LEONA: It’s way too damn cold.

JAMIL: Huh? Yes, it’s cold, but it’s been cold for a while now.

LEONA: That’s from the chill coming from below. I’m talking about the breeze that’s been getting stronger the past few minutes. … Something’s coming.

JAMIL: Ice is forming over the door, massive as it is! At this rate it’s only a matter of time before the Titan breaks it down and forces its way in here!

LEONA: We’ve got no chance facing a monster like that head on without any help. LEONA: I’ll hold it off for the moment- you better hurry and find that Thunder Spear!

Drawn To You [Skephalo]

Soulmate AU? …You know what? Heck yeah! Soulmate AU! This will be fun!  For this AU, whatever you write/draw on yourself appears on your soulmate. Let’s go!

Growing up, Zak has never communicated with his soulmate by writing on himself. In fact, he felt indifferent about the concept of soulmates for most of his life.

He’s seen a few people who got lucky and actually met up with their soulmate. It’s pretty rare to find your soulmate while you’re young. Most people however can’t find their soulmate that easily, or choose not to write to their soulmate for whatever personal reason.

Now this didn’t mean that he wasn’t interested in finding his soulmate. It’s not like he didn’t care. He never really had anything to say. Besides, whoever his soulmate was never contacted him either.

Zak simply has never felt the need to interact. Not until recently that is. He has been wondering what would happen if he actually tried to write to them.

Some of his friends have shared stories of how they got their soulmate’s number or how their soulmate reached out to them first. It has got him thinking about it a bit.

If he wanted to write on himself to contact his soulmate, what would he even do? Would his soulmate even write anything back? What were they even like? This person who is supposedly destined to have a deep connection with him is probably a complete stranger right now.

So Zak questioned himself, what should he do to capture his soulmate’s attention?

Then Zak had this… crazy idea one day when he was bored. He grabbed a couple of sharpies, went to the bathroom, looked into the mirror, and removed the sharpie cap.

It was a normal Tuesday afternoon. Darryl was going to do a late night stream, but he decided to stream a little early this time with face cam. It was a chill stream on the idiots smp, even if he was the only one online right now. It was pretty nice so far.

“Okay, VanessaTheMuffin! Fifty dollars is too much! Thank you for the dono, but no! Stap it!” He restates the donation out loud. “Do I know if Skeppy is going to get on the smp today? Well um..” He thinks for a moment while scratching the upper part of his lip.

“I am 95% sure that he’s going to join me later on? He might be doing something else at the moment… I wonder what he’s doing.” He hummed to himself before having an idea. “Ooh! Do you think I can build a little Skeppy statue right here?”

He was about to look at the chat before another donation appeared. When the donation was read out loud, he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

Lovemepls donated 5 dollars: Yo homie what is on your face lol

“What? What do you mean?” He looked at his chat which was moving surprisingly fast. Trying to read some of the comments, it seems everyone has been saying similar things.

SilverGalaxy: Uhhh you got a little.. somethin… Maddyisadork: A wild mustache appeared! DeezVibez: MUSTACHE LMAO

“Mustache?” He took a moment to open his stream on another tab and was bewildered at the sight. A mustache was messily drawn on him with sharpie above his upper lip. “The fudge?! What is this?!”

Darryl covered his mouth in confusion. “How in the world did- ..Where did this come from?!” Puzzled, Darryl couldn’t connect the dots on how this mustache suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

He felt this strange itching sensation around his left eye, similar to the sensation he glossed over earlier above his upper lip.

Rubbing his left eye, he looked at his facecam again. “AH! Oh my goodness!” Darryl freaked out when a drawing of a monocle around his eye faded in right before his very eyes. “What is going on?!”

Tumbling Croissant: OMG AHAHAHA ADoseOfLove: Wow your soulmate has great taste! Memesnotfound: Aww your soulmate is drawing on you lol

That’s when it clicked… His soulmate.

“My soulmate is.. oh my goodness.” Darryl didn’t even know what to say or think. He has never heard anything from his soulmate before. Then the one time they decided to reach out to him, they decided to draw on his face?!

“Is my own soulmate seriously pranking me!? They even had to do it while I was streaming out of all the muffiny times!” He sighed. “I’m so done.”

Darryl chuckled a bit after the shock and confusion faded. It’s true that he was a little annoyed, but he would be lying if he said he didn’t find this even a little funny.

AwesomePeter23 donated 10 dollars: Your soulmate is something special lol. I already love them and I wanna see them draw more.

“No they- Don’t say that! This is unacceptable!” Darryl crossed his arms and pouted. “I’ve never met my soulmate before, but whoever they are I hereby declare them a complete raggamuffin!” He shouted out and suddenly felt the tip of his nose itch.

“I swear if they added something new..” Once again he looked at his facecam and found a red dot drawn on his nose. “Oh come on! Are you flipping serious?!”

Pyro_Plays: CLOWNBOYHALO!!! OwOStawws: PFFFT ComradeinArms: WRITE THEM BACK PLEASE I BEG

“You know what? I’m grabbing a pen.”

-

Zak was staring at the mirror laughing at himself a little. “This is so stupid. I look so stupid! Why am I doing this?!” Despite questioning his life decisions, he thought about what he should draw next.

He reached for a marker in order to make himself look more clownlike until he felt his left hand itch. As he was scratching his palm he found writing on his hand.

“WHY!? >:0”

Zak couldn’t help but burst out laughing at this. The fact that they decided to draw a little emoticon just made this even funnier. “Oh my god what have I done?!” He grabbed the sharpie and giggled while writing out his response.

Meanwhile, Darryl was still streaming, looking at his left palm. A message appeared on his arm and he read it outloud.

“Because I wanna make you look pretty?! What kind of excuse is that?! I- This little rapscallion! I can’t believe them!”

King Kitty donated 5 dollars: You lookin fabulous there bad!

“You are all muffin heads..” Darryl grumbled. He wrote a little angry emoticon on himself in response to his soulmate. To his surprise he didn’t get a response back, but Zak suddenly texted him that he was going on teamspeak right now.

“Oh great. Guys, guess who decided to show up?” Darryl smiled and covered his face. “Is this even a good time or not? I don’t even know!” As soon as he moved Zak into his teamspeak, he could hear him giggling far from his mic. “Hey Skeppy. I’m streaming right now, and you aren’t going to believe what happened to me!”

“Bad I did something stupid.” Zak said quickly as his giggles died down.

“Oh wow, what else is new?” He laughed a bit. “Okay sorry Skeppy, I was just joking.”

“Wooow, okay. I was gonna ask you for help but now I’m-”

“Nonono Skeppy you know I’m just kidding please don’t leave.”

“I know! I know, but Baaaaad I think they’re mad at meeee.”

“Who’s mad at you? What did you do?” Laughter poured out from Zak before he responded. “What did you do Skeppy?!”

“Can you help me make them not mad? I actually don’t know what to say next all they did was send me a dumb emoticon thingy.”

“Yes. I can help Skeppy. Can you just tell me what happened?”

“Okay So- You know how I said that I’ve never written to my soulmate before?”

“Uhuh? Wait..” Darryl gasped. “Did you?”

“Yes and I did what was probably the stupidest thing I could’ve done.”

“Oh my goodness, what did you do? I mean, it can’t be as silly as what my soulmate did.”

Zak’s eyes widened in surprise. “You heard from your soulmate already?!”

“Uhh.” Darryl looked at his face again and just laughed a little. “Yeah, they recently did. What did you even say to them anyways?”

“Oh I didn’t really say anything to them at first. I kinda… I kinda drew on their face.” He nervously laughed.

…Wait a minute.

“You.. You what?” Darryl’s casual light hearted voice suddenly turned soft and serious as a look of disbelief was on his face.

“I drew some things on my face and then they got mad at me. I said something else afterwards but-”

“Waitwaitwait.” Darryl’s heart was starting to race, but he needed to confirm this before he got his hopes up even further. “What did you draw on them? I need to know.”

Zak got confused for a moment before answering. “Uhhh well I made them look like they had a mustache. And then I drew the monocle to go with it. After that I just drew a teeny little red dot on the nose… I was running out of ideas.”

Everything went silent as Darryl stared at his screen, red in the face. He was looking at the chat and surely enough it had exploded as everyone was losing their minds.

“Bad? …Are you there?”

Mashyapotatoes: OH MY GOD NO WAY! NO WAY!!!!! Disoriented Vine: Well shit this is actually happening?! Amber: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

There was almost too much for Darryl to process. His soulmate drew on his face live on stream. His soulmate unknowingly revealed himself to him AND thousands of fans. His soulmate has no idea why he’s suddenly so silent.

His soulmate… is Zak.

The situation was so unbelievably ridiculous. Darryl, being overwhelmed with shock and delight he just.. broke down into silent laughter, leaning forward as he covered his face with both hands.

Zak, still being confused and oblivious to the situation, got concerned. “The heck? Bad?…Are you okay?! What happened?! I actually can’t tell if you’re laughing or crying!”

Darryl couldn’t really tell either. He sat up for a moment and tried to speak, but to no avail as he started laughing again, facing down on his desk with a thud.

“Oh my god.” Zak laughed a little. “Seriously, what happened?! Are you okay?!”

Darryl eventually calmed down enough to barely speak. “Skeppy, look at my stream!”

“Okay? Why?”

“Take ONE good look at my face! ..And then you’ll see why!” He shouted out.

That was when the realization hit Zak as he felt his face warming up “No… There is no way that-..” He has never searched anything up so fast in his entire life.

When he saw Darryl’s facecam, Zak burst into hysterics when he saw the same thing drawn on Darryl’s face.

“Look at what you did to me Skeppy! Look at what you did!” Darryl shrieked, laughing and facing down on his desk with a thud once again.

“NO- DUDE- NO FUCKING WAY!”

Darryl, being in hysterics as well, barely muttered out a “language.”

“AND THE ENTIRE STREAM JUST- OH MY GOD NOHOHOOO!!”

“Skeppy whyyy!! …I look ridiculous Skeppyyyy!!”

It was complete hysteria for 2 minutes straight until both of them finally started to calm down, taking deep breaths.

“Oh my god, dude I-” Zak spoke out. “I don’t even know where to begin.. you’re my soulmate! What do you even think of it!?”

Darryl sheepishly smiled. “Actually I.. I’ve always kind of secretly hoped that it would be you.”

“..Really?” Zak asked in a soft tone, feeling his heart skip a beat.

“Yes! I-” Darryl looked at his stream. “Hang on a second. Sorry guys, I’m gonna to stop streaming right here. Maybe I’ll stream again later and if not, tomorrow. I hope you all understand.”

ImForeverScreeching: Awwwww nooooooo PenguinRaven: Awww! Yeah we understand! <3 Lemon_Lime49: I just got back, why does bad look like that?

“Byeeee!” Darryl ended the stream.

“Dude, everyone on every social media is going to explode. What have I done?!”

“Oh my goodness you muffin head. I’m already silencing my Twitter notifications temporarily.”

The both of them chuckled and stayed silent for a moment. Zak was letting it fully sink in that Darryl is his soulmate. “I’m.. finding it really hard to believe that it’s you..”

“Why? ..Are you not happy about it?”

“Wh- NO! Nononono, I’m happy I’m VERY happy about it.” Zak quickly made that clear. “I just never thought that it would be you! I’m really happy that it’s you though. I cannot think of anyone more perfect..”

“Awww Geppy!” Darryl smiled. “I’m really happy about it too. Like, you have no idea how happy I am. You may have been such a muffin head, but you’re always my muffin head..”

Zak giggled a bit. “I really really want to see you now..”

“Me too.. Wanna plan to meet up ASAP?”

-

Two weeks have passed since it’s been revealed that the two were soulmates, and it was pretty wild. As they predicted, the information spread like wildfire in the fandom. Skephalo shippers definitely had a field day with that too.

Zak and Darryl took a break from making content only for a few days, but were talking to each other even more often. They slowly went back to making content and started telling their fans they were finally meeting up.

After planning everything out, Zak got on a flight to meet up and stay with Bad for a week. As soon as he departed from the plane, he felt a little nervous but extremely excited.

He roamed around the airport looking for Darryl. A few minutes went by until Zak felt a familiar itch on his left palm and looked to find a message.

“Hi <3”

Zak quickly looked around him until he saw Darryl smiling and waving in front of him. He smiled wide and started to run excitingly towards him. Darryl was surprised for a moment before raising his arms, bracing for impact.

“Skeppy!” Zak almost tackled him as he wrapped his arms around him as Darryl laughed and hugged back.

Skeppy giggled. “Did you really bring a pen with you just so you can write hi as soon as you see me?!”

“Hey, I thought it was fitting okay? You muffin head…” Darryl pouted.

Zak didn’t move away from the hug. He melts into the embrace, hugging Darryl closer as he spoke out softly. “Well.. hi..”

Darryl smiled and stared at Zak as a warm and comforting feeling washed over them. He didn’t want to let go and just wanted to keep him in his arms forever. “Oh my goodness, you just got here and I already don’t want you to leave in seven days..”

“Nooo, don’t think about that right now! I’m just happy to be here now..”

“Yeah..” Darryl wrapped his arms around Zak even more. “Me too.”

[alovevigilante]

Belief in one’s ability to create is the key to actually generating and experiencing it in 3D form. The brain creates the energy around the desire you feel. It’s a symbiotic relationship.

The reason why you may not be seeing your desires come to fruition in your three dimensional reality is because in some way, shape or form you, yourself, are holding it back in some capacity. How? And why? It could be one of a myriad of reasons.

One reason may be because although you may think you want it, you’re not really feeling it completely. You may be afraid to change into the new reality, and tend to lean towards the older, less desired, but easier because already established one. Like, for example not switching jobs because you are comfortable where you are. You can’t stand your boss, cause he/she/they are an ass, and ask ludicrous things of you daily that are ridiculous and no one should comply with, but, you’re used to it, and you like your cubicle and the hot lunch in the cafeteria, that serves meatloaf on Thursdays, and that’s pretty ok. So, you choose to stay in a situation you aren’t fully down with. And you know what?! The pay blows, and you feel under appreciated, but yet you still continue to hang out in that ass place regardless, cause you know how to get there, even though it’s a 2 hr commute there and back. And that’s cool and all, but not really a reason to stay, but for you, it may be. You may be afraid to navigate the city, to a new location, because Mapquest sent you on a wild goose chase one time, and you ended up in an industrial area with no outlet, when you were trying to get to an important meeting. That can happen. I know, it’s happened to me. And that’s why google maps trounced mapquest. And waze did too. I don’t even know if people use mapquest anymore, because yes, it sends you on a quest alright, but not necessarily the one you signed up for in advance. And that can upset your apple cart greatly, cause you already had the plan! The plan was set! But you are lost now, in an unestablished, incomplete part of town with no one there to guide you out, ok?! And you call where you want to be, and say, “I’m not there! I’m here! And here is ass! Ok!?” But no one answers, cause they’re busy being there, and not in the abandoned, desolate crap area, where you are, by no fault of your own. And you have to call someone yelling, because lost, and where the hell are you?! And it takes you fifty two minutes later, and a tangible map and live navigator, like Keith Richards in pirates of the Caribbean, but on land, not see, and not him, cause he’d probably lead you on a disastrous seafaring mission where you would develop scurvy, but at least you’d get to listen to a decent guitar lick before you die of dysentery, when really wanted to do was to get out of the craziest wilderness that has been given up on, in an urban area.

Cause you found a place, much like Christopher Columbus the director didn’t, that hasn’t been discovered on the map yet, and there you are! And people are counting on you to be in their place at a certain time, and not this barren place, with construction all over creation and tumble weeds that aren’t there cause it’s the city. So what do you do?! I said, what is it that you do?!?!?? You stay, in your tried and true, marginally ok place, and don’t try to move. It can happen...

Another reason may be because some things that you are choosing to partake in, in your 3D life are contradictory to the desire you believe you want. For example, you may want to be an exotic birdwatcher for a living. But you don’t live near anywhere near the exotic birds. You don’t even own a pith helmet or a pair of binoculars. And you don’t have any link to anyone that will hire you to do that, nor do you have any experience or association that would appreciate and hire you for said experience, who would also, in addition to that if you did, fly you to where the exotic birds you want to study, reside. And you refuse to buy the plane ticket yourself! So you mope, and you pout, and you say, “you know what?! I didn’t like those ole exotic birds anyway! Who do those birds think they are? With their feathers and pretty colors?! Screw them!” I mean, how’s a bird supposed to know you’re interested in them?! They can’t go to you, nutball! They’re busy being birds! So, you’re SOL, and it sucks, cause all you want to do is look at and engage in some exotic birds action. But again, you are choosing not to take steps to get near one.

And the third reason may be, because you don’t really believe you’re worthy of being happy. And that’s just ass thinking, cause everyone, is entitled and worthy of that.

All of these things, are bs. You are a creator of your own life with your feelings. So make, deliberate choices to feel good. And by that I don’t mean to mask the feelings by something that may placate the feelings of lack you decided to focus on, and feel better just in the moment, then worse later. I mean, make a conscious choice to feel better than you do right now. And do that, as much as humanly possible, and not the other crap choices that just hinder you in the end.

Creating your reality is a constant, and needs attention to detail, and clarity. The universe refuses to outright give you what it knows won’t light you up, but if you continue to contradict your own desires, it’ll throw up its hands and allows you to experience your own chosen ass flow or, in this case your resistance to your own desires, to be your reality you see through your perception, and that’s what you will experience daily. And I must definitely have have a dragging defiance to a lot of things, because here I sit, discussing all of it, and there’s still things in my life I’d like to see happen, and not just ruminate around in my head as “what if’s”. Like, for example, I’d like a few millions of dollars, a lot of few, like at least over 20, so I can help a ton of people, and myself to things I enjoy, like creative freedom, and the ability to choose my own path in life. I’d also like to pay for my boob lift, no. Ahahaha! Cause they’re ok, and I’ve decided to be cool with them, as they lower themselves down to belly button level, to defend it from countertops and other things that I may lean on from time to time... and other important things like that.

So my long winded and long boobed point is this; being you is great, no matter what your situation. You know why? Cause you’re literally making your life what it is with how you see it, and how you choose to feel about it. And yes, you can switch it up! What an awesome place to be! You’ve made your life, terrible! Which means you’re In the drivers seat of your own life! You did that! You decided, my life sucks! And you see it, in everything and in everyone you talk too! Then you open a window and yell outside, “Yes!!!!! I did that!!!!!! I made my life blow like joe!” Which means to you that you can decide every decision you make from here on out differently with a better, more positive energy. To others, they may witness that and think you’re ready for the booby hatch, cause they won’t know the context of your exclamation. But that’s none of your concern. You did it! You figured out that you can decide closer, or farther away from what you want. And the more you move towards you truth, the better you’ll feel. And that feeling will take you all kinds of places and put you in front of all kinds of fun people doing amazing things you never thought possible! And you, are the one feeling, and thinking and doing your way to it! You choose better and better, and before you know it, your ok life has turned pretty damn good, to super great! And so on, and so forth. And on and on and on we go, experiencing exactly how we want to feel minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, month by month, and year by year, happier and better, and healthier and wealthier and wiser and more crazy and fun and silly and artsier and more and more creative and in the love til poof! You explode into another higher dimension because you’re so happy with everyone everywhere, and it’s all due to your thoughts. 🙌💕

That’s life. Pretty cool.... But you gotta believe it. Then from there it’s all about the inspired action, Jackson... 🤷‍♀️😉😆💪💕

The Spidey Squad Playing Among Us

Masterlist

Welp, this game is all the rave all of a sudden and irdk how since the game's pretty much been here forever lol but it's still fun so I had to jump on the bandwagon and here we are! Make sure you check go out @chaoticpete's new fic. Anyways here it is! If this gets enough likes I might do an avengers headcanon too.

Thanks to @angelsparkers for helping me realize I wasn't writing complete garbage and helping me to get through it even though she didn't even know she was doing that. So yeah thanks for that.

Peter

Crewmate: Peter is that crewmate that will 100% call you out on your bs, because he knows the game a little too well for you to be able to pull anything over him(because of all that free time waiting on patrol). You think all that stuff with the avengers didn't teach him strategy? Ha! This guy is PEAK detective. Gets his tasks done fast and when he's done is probably spending his time monitoring people on security or vitals. It only took him like 2 weeks to memorize all the maps and where everything is, so if you say you were in navigation, you better believe he's gonna ask you what task you were doing there. And if you don't answer to his liking, Peter will sound the "sus" alarm on you in two point five seconds and have everyone voting you out. He's probably the only person that could figure out MJ when she's the impostor. So if you're the impostor, watch your words and make sure your alibis are strong cuz little Petey ain't playin' no games. Definitely gets attacked from time to time by those people that are always like "sMaRt PpL rUiN tHe GaMe"

Impostor: He's pretty much the most average impostor. Sometimes he doesn't know what to say when people call him sus and he'll get voted out because he's being "too quiet" or because Ned keeps defending him. He'll mess up every now and then but for the most part, he's pretty decent. His style is usually to stay in the vents most of the game and kill when only one person's around. He probably bribes Ned to not rat him out by promising him that he won't kill him.

Name: It used to be just Peter, but soon he wanted an actual cool name so he chose Sherlock because of all the times when he was "too smart" and won the game too quickly and people would go "pack it up Sherlock" and vote him out.

Favorite color to be: It used to be red, but he quickly found that the more he was red the more people found him "sus" so now he's usually either blue or cyan

Ned

Crewmate: Pretty average crewmate. 80% of the time is covering for Peter, even if Peter is the impostor. Won't do much calling people out unless he's absolutely sure that he saw a kill or vent. Pretty chill and easily persuadable. You'd definitely want him on your team. If he ever gets wrongfully ejected he's the one that pitifully tries to plead his case saying stuff like "what???" and "guys it's not me!!!!" which doesn't really convince anyone and just makes him look more guilty. He'll still do his tasks after though.

Impostor: He's the impostor that doesn't want to be the impostor. If you're texting then maybe he can hold his own, but if you're doing voice chats, there's no way this guy is getting past ANYONE. He has so many tells that it's ridiculous. Is actually scared to vent too much because he's always paranoid that someone's gonna be right there when he jumps out. 8/10 the crewmates win when he's the imposter because he'll just kill like only two people the entire time or gets caught really early on.

Name: Probably some sci-fi reference like r2d2 or Potter

Favorite color to be: Yellow or white because he says those are the most "innocent" colors and he'll be less likely to get voted if he's those (not true but we'll let him believe it)

MJ

Crewmate: Suspicion times 100. Her motto: trust no one. Will get you kicked out in a heartbeat with a quick "trust me. if it's not them vote me next." An absolute unit but will never be caught getting emotional over a game. If she's ever wrongfully ejected her last words will be "whatever. go ahead. vote me and lose." She'll just come back in the next game with a vengeance and false accusations ready, not caring if the entire team loses because of it. She's especially dangerous to have because people usually trust her word. She always finds a way to seem the least suspicious. Though sometimes she'll get suspected because of her quiet nature. There's always that one guy that's ready to go "uR qUiEt ThAt'S sUs!!"

Impostor: If MJ is the impostor, you can just throw your whole phone away. You're not winning that game. Like, ever. She will do whatever it takes to win, even sell out her own her partner. On the off chance that you catch her being suspicious, she'll sabotage a bunch of things so that you can't call meetings and then she'll kill you when no one's around. She is ruthless and will hurt your feelings with the way that she will own everyone in the game. Hardly anyone ever expects her. Thrives on venting. You won't see her you'll just be doing a task and suddenly you'll be dead.

Name: Used to be just MJ but she got annoyed with all the people in the messages who always assumed she meant Michael Jackson or Michael Jordan so she changed it to Michelle

Favorite color to be: She literally doesn't care either way. Won't change the gameplay so why bother? Whatever color she ends up with she'll be fine.

Betty

Crewmate & Impostor: The most average player of them all. She wins some, she loses some. Nice partner to have though, because she'll never give you away. Probably the first to die most times. If she ever gets wrongfully ejected she's the one that uses her last words to say who she thinks it and doesn't even try to plead her case once it starts to look bad for her. She just finished the rest of her tasks.

Name: Probably either her name or some nickname or inside joke. Idk she just seems like the type of person to have a reference to something that absolutely nobody knows

Favorite color to be: Pink. Just because she likes pink.

Flash

Crewmate: Claims things are sus even if they aren't. Will totally be biased based on names. Anybody who knows him will never count him as a credible source. Gets voted out quickly alot because of how annoying he is in the game.

Impostor: He's the easiest to figure out. He's the impostor that obnoxiously accuses literally everyone else. And in all capital letters too. "ITS RED I STG. IF IT'S NOT HIM VOTE ME NEXT!" Calls everyone sus and always claims he's seen people running from the body. He usually self-reports and goes for the easy marks in electrical. He's not that good (even though he thinks he is) and it takes anyone with a brain to figure him out. Peter and MJ are bane of his existence in that game. If he gets wrongfully ejected he'll rage and probably leave the game like the little crybaby he is.

Name: Spideys#1 because he's really just THAT obsessed. Or when he's really feeling "teenage boy" he'll be cOchieman

Favorite color to be: Red because sPiDeRmAn'S hIs BeSt FrIeNd (ahahaha if only he knew)

May

She didn't know this game at all until Peter introduced her to it one day because he was bored. She LOVED it. He had to pry it out of her hands after she kept repeating "Hold on, one more!" So she downloaded on her phone and now she plays it whenever she's bored.

Crewmate: Average. Same as Betty.

Impostor: The way May can actually dominate being the impostor is sort of scary. And she'd always be the last person you'd expect because she just has that trusting vibe about her. Sometimes she'll mess up and give herself away, but for the most part, she's pretty good. Doesn't vent much. Just like Ned, she doesn't trust it.

Name: Madonna

Favorite color to be: She doesn't care much but she prefers to be purple, cyan, or orange

Best Imposter Combos

Peter & Ned: Goes without saying. Nine times out of ten they're in the same room while playing this so they can just talk strategy to each other and take everyone out really quickly. Really annoying for everybody else, but they'll win so they're happy.

MJ & Peter: These two together are a force to be reckoned with. The second they see that they're both impostors they call each other up and get to business like they're on a mission. This stuff is serious. (More for Peter than MJ. She has to keep telling him that it's just a game.) He stays on security stuff, telling her when it's safe, and she racks up the kills. When things get heavy, they sabotage and then go on a spree. These two hardly ever lose. (When the whole squad is together whoever's in charge [if it's not Pete or MJ] usually puts the kill cooldown at max just in case these two get that they can't be at full power)

MJ & Betty: Betty isn't afraid to sacrifice herself so that they'll win and MJ is ruthless and quick with her kills. Both have the smarts to be able to be extremely persuasive and you'd hate for them to pick you to frame. Because being put against those two in the chatroom will lead you nowhere but abyss of space.

May & Peter: Parkers united. 'Nough said.

[yandere-daydreams]

I feel like if anyone had Thoughts about this it’d be you but : zodiac signs as yandere ?

I have so many thoughts on this!!! I’m assuming anon wants to know about sun signs only, so that’s what I did! Keep in mind that literally every single one of these will be biased towards how I view the signs, so if you disgree then.... sorry!! (This post also might be a little long because there are. Twelve signs.)

Aries - Okokokok...... I would like to think..... an Aries would be a possessive, but in a very aggressive way?? Like if they’re jealous of one of your friends they will not hold back. If you wont get rid of them in your life, they’ll do it for you with little hesitation. I feel theyd be romantic and flirty, and refusing their advances just is Not an option. They’ll often lose their temper if you misbehave too much, and it wont take much to get them to that point. They’re very loud and headstrong, and will absolutely manipulate you into doing whatever they want. They aren’t very affectionate, but if you ask nicely enough they’ll begrudgingly cuddle with you (and secretly enjoy it but shhh) Their punishments: severe. Their amount of remorse: zero.

Taurus - Definitely a more submissive yandere!! Probably a delusional and when you disagree with them or tell them theyre wrong, that you don’t love them, they will probably cry so much and not speak to you for days at a time as opposed to physically punishing you. Will not get angry easily and will repress any anger they feel until one day they snap and go Crazy and break your legs or something. They will not take kindly to your nasty remarks or constant attempts to free yourself from their captivity, but they will generally react very passively because they love you and would never want to hurt you (unless they really had to, of course)!! 10/10 will make you nap with them. Constantly.

Gemini - They’re probably a little delusional, but also really obsessive and clingy!! They will force you to cuddle with them for HOURS AND HOURS and just... play with your hair... and babble about their day and the weather and whatever to keep you in their arms. It’s honestly pretty nice and relaxing, and perfect if you’re okay with lounging around all day. They’ll probably really half-ass everything too. Like yeah you’ll be in handcuffs, but if you really tried you’d probably be able to slip out of them because they didn’t bother getting ones that actually fit. Also, everytime you lash out at them they will completely brush it off and deflect everything. They will just pull you into their lap and coddle you until you’ve calmed down and stopped saying such ridiculous things to them. Will also make really dumb jokes in conversations they have with you, and you will have to laugh no matter how awful they are. I mean, unless you want to be punished (read: cuddled) more.

Cancer - A soft yandere, baby!! They will pamper the HELL out of you. They will deck your room out with the nicest furniture, get you the /softest/ handcuffs on the market, bake you your favorite desserts, the whole nine yards!! They will comfort you when you cry about your situation, but will refuse to acknowledge that they are the reason your crying. Very delusional and very manipulative, will guilt trip you into being nice to them. Very powerful puppy dog eyes. 10/10 will kiss you on the forehead and apologize for every bad thing they’ve ever had to do to you.

Leo - They were probably the popular kid in school and you probably had a massive crush on them. When u finally managed to get their attention they never stopped paying attention to you. The next thing you knew, you were locked in their attic. They are very ambitious, and once they had their eyes set on you, no one was going to get in their way. Very possessive, will cut off all of your friends for you and be very jealous!! When the roles are reversed, though, and you get jealous of their friends, it’s fine baby!! There’s nothing to be jealous of!! ^3^ Will probably spoil you a little bit, but only if you havent pissed them off recently. If you’re mean to them they will take it so personally and be so dramatic about it!!

“Can you say something to me it’s been three days.”

“I thought my voice was annoying you >:T”

“Oh my god-“

Virgo - Protective protective protective!! Will lock you in a room with absolutely no furniture with sharp corners or anything you could hurt yourself on. An actual perfectionist, will put makeup on you, do your hair so there isn’t a single strand out of place, and dress you in color coordinated outfits ONLY. Will literally take the best care of you, but it’s overbearing how much they worry about your safety all. The. Time. You will more than likely never leave the house without them, and never without at least SPF 50 sunscreen on. Will attempt to be your personal therapist, but has never properly processed and emotion before, so... they aren’t very effective. If you attempt to escape, they will punish you severely.

“Ayo I sure wish I wasn’t HERE right now ahaha sure wish I was HOME and not with YOU.”

“Oh? Ahahaha okay!” *literally breaks your fucking toes* “See! You have to stay with me!! You could get hurt much worse than this in the outside world, you have to be more careful!! :)”

Libra - Probably protective and obsessive to a certain extent. Will probably be really sympathetic?? But like in a “I cant let you go I’m sorry the world is bad and scary and I don’t want you getting hurt.” kinda way. They would want to give you a little bit of freedom, though, so they’ll let you go out with your friends occasionally, but they’ll be VERY cautious and, well, protective of you. They are very understanding and give you lenient punishments when you push them over the edge and theyre ‘forced’ to punish you, but will not comfort you afterwards to compensate for the lack of severity of their punishments. Balance, baby!

Scorpio - An obsessive for sure. Literally IN LOVE WITH YOU. Will instagram stalk you, your family, your friends, your neighbor’s dogs, ANYONE that has ever been in contact with you. They already know everything about you when they finally execute their plan to kidnap you. They’re very attractive and strong willed and will put you in your place with no hesitation, but afterwards will attempt to kiss it better because they feel sorta bad. They just want you to love them!! They crave so much attention constantly, and will want to cuddle with you and be close to you at all times. You will have to be an excellent liar, because they will be able to call you on your bullshit so easily!! They will absolutely not tolerate any lying, so it’s better to justbe honest with them, even if you think it will make them mad. 10/10 will probably stare at you for hours on end without saying a single word and then watch you sleep. All lovingly, of course.

Sagittarius - P o s s e s s i v e. Can and will beat the shit out of anyone that touches you and will beat the shit out of you if you mention someone other than them to teach you a lesson. They have very bad commitment issues because they’re afraid of the people they love leaving them, and they overcompensate for it a lot. Probably actually a little bit out of their mind beyond the whole “I have my love interest locked in my basement” thing. Will give you the bare minimum amount of the things you need to survive and will deprive you of food and water for days at a time if you say something a little too nasty to them. Is really good at saying the right things to talk you down when you’re upset after a punishment or something. Very good at making you laugh as much as you hate to admit it!! 10/10 will probably turn to sensory deprivation if all else fails just because they’re sadistic like that.

Capricorn - Very responsible, planned a lot for your arrival. Very smart, rational, and protective, they have a plan for literally any situation thrown their way. They’re very fragile but they project it all onto you, and as a result they take very good care of you. They’re kinda intimidating but actually very sweet, and they love you more than they love themself. Probably rich because they’re really good at saving money, and they’ll spoil you with every cent they have. Bossy, and if you choose to ignore what they tell you to do they will make your life miserable for the next few days. Again, they’re very serious looking and intimidating, but they have a playful and carefree side that only really comes out around you!! They love you a whole lot, and make that very clear through the gifts they give you constantly.

Aquarius - Hear me out. Remember that tsundere yandere post Daydreams made? That’s Aquarius. They are very mean and nasty!!! A true goblin, honestly. They’re totally head over heels in love with you, but they’ll make you work to earn that love, even though you didn’t ask for it. You want attention?

“Haha nerd, why would I come cuddle you?? That’s like... weird... You’re gross!!”

Do they hate you, or do they want to marry you and ride off into the sunset with you? You’ll never know, because they wont ever let you get close enough to them to figure out what goes on inside that crazy head of theirs. Overall will probably treat you well, if you’re okay with the constant bullying and berating that you’ll get from them daily, that is.

Pisces - Soft like Cancer, but obsessive like Scorpio!! Has very strong feelings for you, but doesn’t know how to manage them in a healthy way. They want you all to themself, and the only way they know how to keep you in their life is by taking you. Very manipulative and delusional.

“Haha fancy seeing you here babe!”

“I am locked in your basement and I have been for the past seven months-“

“Crazy how we just keep running into eachother! Are you, like, obsessed with me or something?”

Like Virgo, they’ll try to be your personal therapist, but Pisces is actually good at it. You can never hide how you’re feeling from them, because if they pick up even the slightest difference in your tone of voice they will dig through their brain for any possible event that could have taken place to make your mood shift even the slightest bit. Crazy, but in a very loving and wholesome way. 10/10 would take a bullet for you!!
