Vrains: Valentines Day

A/N: this is a week late shhhh... (pretend it was posted right on time) i just wanted to edit a few things and somehow added several paragraphs, and it's now nearing 4am... aha ;-;

(also forgive me for characters not being on here, i haven't gotten through the entire show yet and wanna do them justice :] )

characters: Ai, Playmaker, Skye, Varis

warnings: none!

• you best prepare for every cheesy pun he can possibly think of involving his name

• clingy clingy clingy (i mean, think back to his joke in duel links "love me touch me feed me hot dog sandwiches!") he's gonna be wrapping around you like a backpack so get used to not getting any alone time the entirety of the day, or not going out without an eldritch monster clung to your shoulders like a witch and their familiar

• when you finally convince him to stay in his smaller form to be less conspicuous, he'd substitute holding your hand by holding your fingers since he's stuck in the duel disk, and constantly asking you to log into vrains so he can "properly hold your hands".

• there's something comedic about a tiny ignis with his hands on his hips and an exasperated look pouting about holding your hands... you keep saying you're busy to tease him and this frustrates him greatly, but it's so cute you can't help it

• anytime you bring your wrist with the duel disk attached near your face, or check it for some reason, he'll reach over and (comically because he's so tiny) try to kiss you

• but even though his puns, cheesy jokes, and constant talking can get a bit annoying, how can you stay mad when he's giving you the sweetest looks ever and smiling like the adorable lil creacher he is? he'll look away whenever you catch him though, and insist he was looking at something else... very unconvincingly

• he also wants to make up for all the things he didn't get to express to you beforehand, what with everything that went down and being tracked by the hanoi, and today's holiday is a good ice breaker for that topic

• before he confessed to you, he'd look extremely squirmy and anxious all the beginning of the day especially when you ask Yusaku why he seems so awkward and tense

• you had been friends and allies for a long time, fighting alongside Yusaku and the others to protect his fellow ignis as best as you both could, so there was no reason you could think of for him to be nervous around you

• Yusaku would just sigh exasperatedly and give a glance to Ai, who would immediately try (and fail) to look natural, leaving you very confused

• little did you know, he'd been talking with Yusaku for weeks about how he'd go about telling you while simultaneously roasting him for being no help and having no experience... leaving Yusaku to question him why he was asking in the first place. if only you could overhear their banter...

• he'll hack into your duel disk later on to talk to you, and look as though he'd be sweating bullets if he could

• just... stares at you silently for a solid minute leaving you like ???

• finally after a second he sighs and unloads all of it on you at the speed of a commercial actor reading fine print

• once he slows down though, he gains his confidence and is actually very eloquent explaining his feelings. you can hear the sincerity in his voice and tell he's being completely serious

• when you told him you returned his feelings, the tone switches in an instant and oh boy his old self is back in a flash

• "hah, i knew you could never resist this hot bod!" and now he's posing dramatically on your duel disk... and you immediately wish you had the power to mute him

• afterwards, he'll try to catch you off guard by kissing your cheek every time your face is near the duel disk, or making heart eyes to fluster you

• it would be endearing and fluffy having this little creacher so head over heels for you but it's incredibly flustering when you remember he's also a six foot tall, incredibly attractive, peircing eyed, fancy-vampire-extravagently-dressed tumblr sexyman that towers over you and is very intimidating

• even though he jokes a lot, he's incredibly smart and does care deeply, so i can imagine him setting something up somehow, whether it's ordering something to your door, hacking some big screen in the city for a message that would confuse other citizens but that you'd recognize, or leading you to cyberse cards he created to put in your deck because to him it's both a gift and a way to always be present with you and remember him by, and shows you're his using his cards

• if he has access to a soltis body, he'll want to do things he didn't get to do much before, to just go out for a walk and see the city with you without the whole pretend-i'm-a-villain-to-save-the-future thing going on

• will grab your hand and kiss the back of it because he saw it in a drama and wanted to try it

• you end up seeing a video later from someone in the area that had seen you both holding hands...

• "who's vampire lookin ass boyfriend is this lmaooo"

• it's all you can do to stop him from angrily replying with 10 different accounts he made...

• after all that though, I think he'd want to make cookies together at your home, or just something fun and domestic, since originally when he was left at Yusaku's apartment he was always bound to the duel disk. will probably throw a little bit of dough at you when you aren't looking though (he'll swear it wasn't him despite you being the only two there)

• probably tries all the things he's seen in dramas that he watched with roboppi in Yusaku's apartment, and it's very obvious (let him have his male lead moment okay)

• at the end of the day, he actually becomes somewhat uncharacteristically shy for once when he asks if you'll watch tv and play games with him

• if he's in his soltis, he'll put you on his lap and wrap you both up in a blanket, his arms around you, with his head just in place to whisper in your ear...

• he leans in close, lips right next to your ear, his hair brushing against you, sharp amber eyed gaze firmly on you, breath on your skin and...

• "do you and Yusaku actually think hot dogs are sandwiches"

• you cut him the most deadpan look ever, even putting Yusaku to shame while he laughs in complete satisfaction, locking his arms around you when you tried to get up

• even if he isn't in a soltis, he'd be in his monster form with his arms completely engulfing you, and head laying on your chest as you both watch dramas he insisted on

• will pout unless you let him kiss you, even though that form has a mouth full of sharp jagged teeth

• he's actually really warm, and his closeness is comforting, the only issue is that he's so tangled around you getting up would be a monumental task

• eventually if you fell asleep, he'd stay with you the rest of the night, as close as he can possibly be while going into whatever sleep state it is that ignis are capable of

• he'd let you use one of his arms as a pillow, and if you tried to move or get out of bed to get water or anything, he'd tighten his grip and dramatically whine about you "leaving your poor ignis"

• tells you he loves you after he thinks you've fallen asleep :>

Skye/Aoi

• considering her brother has sheltered her to an extent all her life, I think she'd want to do fun things with you!

• especially on a day like valentines, she'll want to do something thrilling

• in real life, she's someone who doesn't always have the confidence to do what she really wants to, to say what she really means

• though you met each other through VRAINS, you had become a huge support to her in real life, and helped her in ways you weren't even aware of. she never told you, but when she'd log out of VRAINS and leave her persona, and the confidence that accompanied it behind, your words and encouragement stayed with her

• did she really deserve it? if you knew the real her, would you still say the same things? she didn't know, but she knew that she could at least log in and have your presence waiting for her each day, something to look forward to

• even though she was the duelist in the public eye, personally, she admired you highly, not only for your dueling skills but for who you were and what you stood for, and what you would say to her

• it may have been in passing for you, but it echoed in her mind for hours

• that she mattered, not only as Blue Angel, but that her life was inherently valuable and meaningful no matter who is behind the mask, that though you'd been through many things, at the end of the day no matter where we find ourselves there is always more than it appears to life, that you can choose your destiny, and that there is always light even if we can't see it at the moment

• sure, anyone could pass them off as cheesy and forget it, but when things got to her and she felt alone, like no one knew her truly, and like she'd be in the cage her brother's concern had made for her forever, on the lonely late nights when no one was home... they comforted her. she desperately wanted to believe she could choose her own destiny, considering her and her brother's lives had so far felt like leaves being blown in every direction by the wind of circumstance

• you were a friend who treated her like a person instead of a celebrity, and didn't try to use her for internet fame, and so she had begun to feel like she truly could trust you

• the free spirit in her envied the fact that you were someone who had no leash unlike her, fighting the hanoi, going wherever you pleased, holding your own against the threats to VRAINS

• the longer you remained friends though, she'd realized that she'd begun to develop feelings for you beyond friendship or idolization

• even when you both had finally met in person, she'd never had the guts to say anything, too afraid she wouldn't measure up or that upon seeing her real self you'd think less of her than as Blue Angel and never think of her in that way

• little did she know you had grown to care for her strongly as well

• when she'd finally gained the courage to confess to you, she'd texted you with a friendly invite to go grab a snack since you were both alone today, and you both occasionally would do things together (Akira felt she was protected with you, thankfully)

• at least that way, she could back out if she got too nervous and let things between you remain the same

• she messaged you to meet with her at a cafe in the city, somewhere she liked, to eat something tasty and unwind after the stress you'd all been through

• you'd thought nothing of it, since you were just friends after all... you supposed you were lucky to spend time with her, even if it wasn't under the circumstances you wished it was

• you had kept your feelings quiet, not wanting to place any more pressure on her, so if friendship was what she needed, so be it

• you'd notice there was something on her mind, but as you're both finishing your food, you'd see some spark of confidence rise in her eyes and she'd grab your hands that were sitting on the table, take a deep breath, and start to explain the real reason why she met with you there (surprise bitch, this is a date!!!!)

• it takes you a moment to take in her words, because THE Blue Angel wants to be with you, THE Skye, the Skye you've been friends with for so long... the fact that she saw you the way you saw her was enough to make your soul jump through the roof

• she's overjoyed when she learns the feeling is mutual, and a streak of excitement and energy comes over her, thinking of all the things she wants to do with you

• this was the real Skye, you felt, someone with energy and spirit and that spark of adventure in her eyes that was shining through in this moment

• you'd agree to go to an amusement park straight afterward, something she'd always wanted to do but had never been able to since her brother was always busy and would've never let her go alone

• somehow, you'd fit almost every ride into the few hours you were there, from rollercoasters to the ferris wheel overlooking the city, and you both tried all the out-of-the-ordinary foods they had at stands

• she holds your hand on every ride, and everywhere you walked through the park as if you'd melt away if she didn't feel you beside her <3

• if you're a bit nervous of rollercoasters, she'd sit beside you and let you hold onto her... definitely doesn't try to get you on one again for that specific reason

• after you rode a bunch of rides, i think she'd like to just walk with you and see the sights of the park, talking about everything that's happened so far, her hopes for the future, and about how she's determined to try and find aqua if there's a chance she may have also been revived, and how cute she thinks you look holding the cotton candy you'd both gotten and the sunset illuminating your features ;>

• later when you got home, she'd invite you to come over, and you'd both log into VRAINS and either sightsee on a board, or speed duel with each other, and then meet up with the others to talk and because she wants to tell everyone about your relationship

• no one is surprised, because you both complimented each other so well even before and they could sense your chemistry

• being basically a celebrity duelist, i think she'd like to announce that you're together by a duel, if she's gonna introduce you it has to be perfect

• everyone else agrees and cheers you both on, wondering who will win

• if you were anxious about all the publicity though, she'd understand and would keep it on the low until/if you want to or are ready :)

• if you do though, at the epic conclusion of your duel, she starts to speak up in front of the reporters who had caught on and started filming, and everyone in the crowd is watching with baited breath to see what she'll say

• she announces that you've not only been her friend and a great support to her, but that meeting and being with you has been a new freedom and adventure she thought she'd never get to have

• and then she kisses you, above the city lights of VRAINS, riding on the wind, with the cheers of everyone surrounding you

• after all that, when it's really late, you'd both have a bunch of late night snacks and make cookies together, occasionally checking people's posted reactions to you being together, or if you didn't anounce it, see people's speculations on the hot mystery person she dueled with ;] and then play video games until you both got sleepy

• overall, i feel like her love language would be experiencing freedom and fun with someone she loves, letting loose with no restrictions

• you'd both end up asleep on the couch leaning against each other, game controllers still beside you both

Playmaker/Yusaku

• yusaku is a man of very few words, but he's someone who you know means every word he says, and you'd always admired that about him

• he also is someone who expresses things through actions moreso than words

• i think Ai would push him to confess to you on a day like valentines, something Yusaku would never do by himself, but Ai would annoy him to no end about not acting on his feelings until somehow he finally got him to do it

• I think Yusaku is someone who on the inside would want to be physically close, but the walls he's put up keep him from giving in, and his focus has been on a singular goal for a very long time, so a lot of what he does is based on protecting himself

• you had piqued his interest initially due to you seeming to also posess something akin to link sense, always sensing situations that he could feel too, which was what led to you two crossing paths often

• since you respected his privacy and didn't try to fight his battles for him, he came to respect you

• you'd eventually offered to aid him, and despite your skills and similarities, he was firm in going about his business alone. as time went on though, all your small acts of kindness and silent way of being there for him in the background without prying or invading his boundaries started to chip away at those walls a bit

• he'd catch himself with a strange feeling of curiosity when you'd leave after mopping the floor with the hanoi, watching as your figure would dissappear, finding himself deep in thought.

• Ai had of course taken notice of this and teased him relentlessly for it, and though he denied it repeatedly at first, maybe there was some truth to his teasing...

• once he wasn't so single minded in his goals, and had more time to think about things, it really hit him just how much he did appreciate your company, and he found himself forming something of a friendship and bonds with you and the others

• outside of VRAINS, he'd catch himself absentmindedly wishing he would run into you, or wondering if he'd see you in person somewhere, hoping to find you somehow, but telling himself it was strictly because he wanted to know your motives and connection to the situation at hand. yes, you were friends now, but you both didn't fully know each other's motives, much less what your appearances were in real life

• when Ai couldn't take it anymore and knew he wouldn't make the first move himself, he came up with a plan, which Yusaku only begrudgingly agreed to after a long back-and-forth

• you'd received a message to meet Playmaker in a certain spot outside VRAINS, which came as a shock, but you were also excited to meet him in real life, if it was indeed not a trap set by the hanoi

• you'd showed up, cautious at first, but immediately recognized the hot dog stand you were familiar with, having visited it once, and though you didn't know it was him at that moment, Yusaku was sitting by the food truck, outwardly calm, but you could see he was a bit stiff, as though internally nervous. He was talking to the man grilling the hot dogs, and as you got closer you noticed just how handsome he was... that he had familiar green eyes, and finally the unmistakable aspect you could always identify him by: the yellow eye of the ignis on his duel disk.

• It was a bit awkward at first, but after you had approached the seats and spoken up, he introduced you to Kolter and himself formally now that you were all in person

• you both talked for a while, speaking about your goals, your hopes, and how you both had a shared interest in protecting Ai and the ignis from the hanoi

• eventually, Kolter had given him a knowing glance and made an excuse to go "run and grab something he needed from the shop close over"

• Yusaku seemed to mentally facepalm at the obviousness of his actions, but had nevertheless turned to face you after he left

• "There's something i've been wanting to, uh... ask you about." he'd said awkwardly, and it was almost strange to see someone so usually stoic and confident be as unsure as he was now

• He'd stated how he was wary of you in the beginning, but that he was glad the two of you were friends despite his initial coldness, that he trusted you now and could tell you had a good heart.

• by now your cross between flattery and confusion was growing, and as he continued to speak, jt seemed as though he was dancing around what he actually wanted to say

• after a shared look between himself and the ignis who was now standing on his duel disk and glancing between you both (in... anticipation? entertainment? you weren't sure) he sighed and looked you in the eye.

• "I... wanted to ask if you would... stay with me," he paused momentarily between words, seemingly flustered as he spoke. "And there are three reasons why".

"One, you're a good hearted and skilled duelist who adapts well, and have a connection to the network that proves a valuable aid. You're a very strong ally in this regard. "

"Two, you've been incredibly kind and respected me despite my being wholly dedicated to revenge and not exactly being friendly in return. You're understanding, and you've been there for me on multiple occasions, putting yourself in danger even when I assured you it wasn't necessary. I thank you for this."

"Three, because after some time, I can't help but find myself deep in thought every time we encounter each other. I can't help but catch myself wanting to stop you every time you leave, but never knowing exactly what I wanted to say, and I've found I... enjoy your company. So, I-"

• He was cut off by Ai, who by now had his arms crossed and an exasperated look on his face

• "what shakespeare here's trying to say is that he's got feelings for you and he appreciates that you put up with him and care about him, but he's too cool and grumpy to say that outright. Also, he thinks your dueling skills are hot, and he's been like a puppy secretly hoping to run into you everywhere we go. And he should be thanking me as his brilliant, intelligent wing man who helped him with getting this far because he was never gonna pull you by just staring at you all mysteriously and brooding all the time and never saying anythi-"

• Yusaku shot him a glare that could've fried the rest of the hot dogs in the stand were it pointed that way, and Ai dramatically fell over and ceased talking, though he had a satisfied, smug look across his face

• taking a sigh, he spoke up again. "I'm saying I want you to be with me." he was now directly looking into your eyes, piercing green filled with hope, and behind that it seemed, anxiousness

• when you replied that you felt the same way about him, he'd done something he's rarely ever done with anyone: hugged you. it was slow and sheepish (you knew he wasn't one much for talking, much less any physical contact, so you were flattered by the gesture), and you could feel a thousand emotions through it: relief, shyness, and his muscles relaxing against you after a moment, like it was something he'd long needed

• the whole time, Ai was cheering as though he was watching the moment in a drama

• the rest of the day, Yusaku wouldn't initiate much physical contact, but he would often have his eyes on you.

• it's something very new for him to have mutual feelings of this sort, as he's always focused on other goals, so it would take a long time for it all to sink in for him, and considering he's always on guard, keeping his eyes on you feels like his way of keeping you safe

• he'd want to do things that were usually soothing for him with you because it would feel as though it's sharing a part of himself with you. having dealt with the trauma of the Lost Incident, he's extremely guarded and private, and so to include you in the things that ease his worries is an incredibly huge gesture

• he doesn't exactly have much money. his apartment isn't the most comfortable, and he isn't always able to eat well either, much less go to restaurants, but the gift he later gives you is something far more meaningful and thoughtful than anything a store could offer on a day like today, something from his own knowledge and skill that he had made himself

• he had coded you a modification that would attach to your duel disk and would cover all your tracks in VRAINS, protect you from viruses, and keep your identity secret, similar to the programs he used with Playmaker, that he had started making a few months back for you and not mentioned

• he'd be extremely shy giving it to you and would deny any thanks or compliments with a blush

• he would want to spend the rest of the day calmly in your company, just able to enjoy the peace for once

Varis/Revolver

• like Yusaku, he's someone who's very guarded and honed in on his goals, and he has the world on his shoulders in his belief that he should also be responsible for the situation his father created

• though you had opposed his views on the ignis, you also understood his motivations, and that he was caught in the trap of his father's shadow, no matter how hard he insisted that it was purely his choices

• the fact that you two had somehow formed a bond despite being enemies was something neither of you could explain, nor something either of you would mention verbally. having investigated as many secrets of the hanoi as you possibly could had helped you gain a better understanding of why he did what he did, though, and discovering he was a pawn in his father's chess game had changed your view of him

• after a handful of encounters, though, you could tell by the way his eyes would soften when they landed on you, the way he almost seemed careful to never place you in danger, and the fact that you had noticed less and less members of the knights of hanoi trying to duel you unprovoked, almost as if they had been ordered to do so, meant something was going on

• while you were concerned that he was dedicating his life to someone else's cause, he was concerned that you were endangering yourself by associating too closely with the ignis

• every situation with him was tense, but not in a negative way. In fact, your run-ins with him whether his trying to get information out of you on Ai's whereabouts, or your challenging him to deter the hanoi, there was something unspoken in the air between you two

• it came to a head at one point during an intense duel, where the building you'd both been standing on in VRAINS had been engulfed by a stronger than usual data storm and crumbled beneath your feet

• you'd both scrambled to catch your boards in an attempt to avoid falling, but yours had slipped from your grasp at the last moment

• and then the next thing you knew you were being suspended in midair by Varis balancing precariously on his board, his arms having curled around you just in time while you were both whisked into the storm

• you'd met his eyes for a moment, and there seemed to be a million thoughts and emotions swirling, before he closed them and sighed as if resigning himself to something he'd been battling internally

• when he'd reopened them, the expression he gave you was uncharacteristically caring and concerned

• it was over as quickly as it happened though, as in the blink of an eye you'd been set down on a building nearby, and he was nowhere to be seen, leaving you to wonder what had just happened

• you'd not seen him for a while after that, leaving you confused and mulling over the situation, thinking you'd just overthought it or misinterpreted his actions

• a couple months later, though, you'd been stopped in your tracks by a knight of hanoi, but to your surprise, it wasn't to challenge you. it was extremely strange: they'd calmly handed you a message and monotonously informed you "this was to be delivered to you", and then disappeared without another word or trace

• you'd worried it may have been a trap, but cautiously opened it: a message straight from Varis himself, reading, "I need to speak with you. you likely know why. Meet me at..." followed by what seemed to be coordinates. he was asking to meet you in person.

• when you had gone to the specified location the next day, having had to find the directions by phone, it'd led you to what appeared to be docks

• there was a young man at the end of one pier, turned toward the ocean, hands in his pockets. he was tall, and the breeze was tousling his white hair gently

• once he heard your footsteps approaching, he'd turned to face you, and you immediately knew it was him, steel blue eyes softening as they fell on you

• you couldn't deny how handsome he was, and seeing the real him, without his avatar's outfit, without the mask, was almost like seeing him without chains: this was him as him, not a pawn of his father, not the leader of the hanoi, but-

• "Roken" he'd broken you out of your thoughts, his voice softer than the usual stern roughness he usually spoke with in VRAINS. his gaze was locked firmly onto you, flustering you slightly, and you'd told him your own name in return

• the conversation that followed was less awkward than you had expected, but you could tell after a few minutes of talking he had decided to face the inevitable and address what you both knew but had thus far left unaddressed

• he was calm and collected, but you couldn't help but feel your heart pounding since you'd both tiptoed around it for so long, being enemies. it was easy that way, always being able to hold that subject second to you and your friends' rivalry with him

• he'd bluntly asked you if you had feelings for him, and stated coolly that aside from your stances he respected you as a duelist and had come to care for you, that he'd wanted to meet you in the real world, to see the real you outside of the "fake world" of VRAINS

• upon hearing you returned his feelings, he'd stepped forward and wrapped you in a firm embrace. his head came to rest on your shoulder, and you could feel his heartbeat

• "I'm... speaking not as Varis when I say this, but I do want you to stay away from that ignis. I know you have noble intentions, but you're in real danger every moment you accompany it. I know you will not agree with me, but I'm asking you to focus on this... My heartbeat, my arms around you right now, my breath on your shoulder. We are real, this is what's real. This world matters. That world is a world of facades, and those ignis within it will only endanger this world. I'm not asking you to be on my side, but I'm asking you to at least protect yourself. I don't want to see you hurt because you chose to protect those A.I."

• His words had touched you, but you'd replied that not all the ignis were as dangerous as he believed, that their free will meant no simulation could ever predict how things would turn out, that they were not the enemies he perceived them as. You asserted you would not back down from your stance, and that you wished he would not remain a prisoner of his past and his father and open himself up to you and your friends' perspectives

• Though you both disagreed, there was no argument, instead he'd tightened his grip around you, and you both stayed silent for a moment

• "I just want you to be safe."

• for the rest of the day, you'd just be walking with him through the city, places he must frequent when spending the little time he has away from his position as the leader of the hanoi

• there's a mutual acknowledgment between you that you are enemies and the entire situation is complex, but that you do indeed mutually want each other's safety

• he'd not realize what day it was, because despite wanting to deep inside, he's never really paid too much attention to holidays. he feels too much responsibility to his father's wishes to pay too much attention to "frivolous" things like that, but in reality, i think he'd want that normalcy. he's just too caught up in everything that's been dumped onto him to enjoy things as he should be able to

• nonetheless, the rest of the day he would want to spend time with you, walking through the city and stopping to get food, a chance to be Roken, and to talk to you without your opposition in the way, if only for a while

• like Yusaku, I feel he'd be the protective type, one who keeps his eyes on you a lot, but respects your abilities, skill, and personal space at the same time. unlike Yusaku though, I feel he'd be more open to physical contact, and would hold your hand in public

• part of why he admires you, is because he doesn't see himself as a good person. he carries around a lot of guilt, and can be quite ruthless, but he views you as someone who very much is good hearted, just from his view on the wrong side of the ignis situation

• so i feel like he would feel as though he doesn't deserve you deep down, and that's part of why he maintained distance for so long. deep down, he seeks atonement, and doesn't want you swept up in the midst thought you've chosen to be

• even though he is still seemingly cold and gaurded on the exterior in person, it feels as though he lets you in in his own ways. he doesn't talk much, but he can communicate his feelings best through eye contact and the way he holds your hand, and his actions, the way he holds you against him like the words could flow through touch

• you'd part your ways at the end of the day, wondering what your next encounter would be like, the feeling of his hand still lingering in your thoughts

• when you got back home, you'd realize in addition to your keys, there was something else that had been added to your pocket: a small note and a duel monsters card: one from his deck.

• the note read, "This may serve you well should you find yourself in particular trouble... Don't let your guard down with that ignis. I trust you will do the right thing should the situation come. Until our paths cross again, - Roken."

• it was his way of extending an olive branch and simultaneously protecting you - expressing through action what he couldn't through words.

𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 - 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

(SSR) Birthday Suit Up (Part 1): “Happy Birthday!”

(Diasomnia Dorm: Birthday Venue)

NRC Newspaper Birthday Interviews ~Vantablack Edition~

> Happy Birthday! Also, Happy Halloween!

Vantablack: Thanks on both accounts~ Vantablack: I’ve heard it’s customary to bring lavish gifts to the person whose birthday it is. So, did you bring me anything~?

“Not exactly…”

Vantablack: Tch, really? What are you even here for then if not to pay tribute?

“Well, we’d like to do an interview with you for the school newspaper...”

Vantablack: An interview, huh? Hm… I guess I’ll let it slide then, just this once. Vantablack: A little memorandum all in celebration of me on a day dedicated only to me sounds way better than any material gift I could ask for. Heheheh~ Vantablack: So, what do you want to know?

“How do you feel about the birthday celebrations so far?”

Vantablack: Hah! Oh, they’ve been fantastic so far. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting lots of people and making lots of friends since I came here, so everyone’s I see has been wishing me well. Vantablack: Even that loud and annoying Sebek wished me a good day, even if it was through gritted teeth~ It was one of the most satisfying things I think I’ve ever experienced. Vantablack: Honestly, for a first birthday I couldn’t have asked for anything less so far~

“‘First’ birthday? Have you never celebrated your birthday before?”

Vantablack: Nope, never. To be honest, I don’t even know when my “real” birthday is, if it’s even a day that falls on a normal calendar. Vantablack: Time works differently where I come from. Hours, days, and years all bleed together. Once you’re there, it’s impossible to know how much time has passed when you leave… if you ever leave. Vantablack: I was born in The Fog so I have no idea of how old I’m even supposed to be in human years. I could be around the same age as everyone else my class, way younger, or way older. There’s no way to really know. Vantablack: The reason we’re celebrating my birthday today is actually because of Lee. He asked me when my birthday was, and when I told him I didn’t have one, he got so distraught! Vantablack: He demanded we give me a birthday right then and there, and decided today was the perfect day for me to have as my own. Vantablack: He picked today because he said it “suits me”. And, as an added bonus, it’s on a popular yearly holiday, so it’s always remembered by everyone that I tell. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day~

Note

Hmm. I'm glad my Krampus experience was better than yours then then.

Oh yes, I'm sure I'd get along well with Husk and Angel Dust. I'll have to share photos of my little Christmas village during the holidays. Hah...I remember I had a dream once that Angel and I were just watching dumb tik toks and giggling like mad...and he kept calling me Shortcake. Now I want someone to call me that irl. 😅

I'm not typically one for parties. I either stick like glue to one or two people I know...or if there's any kind of pet, I will disappear to hang out with it. I found goats and chickens at a cousin's outdoor wedding once. After dinner, no one saw me again. 😂 That being said, Charlie's costume party actually sounds fun! Maybe I could crash it for a bit this year. Idk if you're aware, but Florida absolutely contains portals to hell, which is why I'm able to pop in from time to time. I suppose because I'm super *not* dead, I just sort of get...popped back home after a bit. Lol. I love dressing up. My last Halloween costume, I was Beetlejuice. Wore a black and white striped dress, my friend did my makeup and we spray painted my hair green. 😁

A lottery! Intriguing. Maybe a bit alarming for us over worlders. Hah. Though, things are pretty bad up here. We'd probably barely notice any chaos a demon visitor would cause! Hah!

I'm very curious, what do you think you would do up here if you won this lottery? 🤔

Oh bad Stanley! We need to have a chat. No eating pets. I support Angel Dust's chasing him off with a bat if he tries to eat Fat Nuggets again. Are you not feeding him enough pedophiles, Alastor??

We're opposite ends on The Shining. I've only watched the movie and not read the book. I know King is brilliant, but I think I got halfway through one his books once. Surprisingly not a huge fan of most horror. But it's only bc...none of it scares me, so I usually feel kind of disappointed? I'll like those kinds of movies if they're well written/have some humor/have a good aesthetic. The art school bitch in me is sated by beautiful camera work and colors. Haha. Oh, recommendation, watch Crimson Peak.

Hahah. Don't worry. I won't be calling you Big Al. Was only teasing. I don't like it either. Hah.

No offense taken at the drunk comments. I suppose it hasn't been a bad experience for me since I've never been so drunk I wasn't unaware of what I was doing. I used to go to bars a lot (had a lot of musician friends then...I've been to a frankly obscene number of open mics) so I feel you on being subjected to obnoxious inebriated people. I generally drank a coke...or if I was feeling particularly feisty...a Shirley Temple. 🤣 You'd be amazed the side eye and teasing I'd get for that order. Never cared, those things are tasty!

I promise to not call you the c word again. Though, if you piss me off, I will definitely call you the *other* c-word. Heh. Will just settle on calling you dapper, eh? It's an excellent and underused word in modern times.

Appreciate your discretion and care in the imaginary unwanted drunk cuddle scenario. Lol. That is, dare I say it, rather sweet. You are surprising!

I also quite enjoy our conversations, so thank you! 😊

Work was alright on Friday (I left early for another baseball game so that helped, lol). I was training a new hire all day. He's great; laughs at my jokes (v important), is COMPETENT. He gave me candy! PLEASE DON'T QUIT I scream internally.

Let's see...I have a sort of a joke for you. Hopefully you appreciate a nerdy joke like I do.

oh shit - i was time travelling and accidentally killed an ancient italian. doesn’t matter tho everyone was killing each other, when in Reme do as the Remans

And for today's photo I present this chaos table covered in several dozen Halloween decorations. They're here until I get them all set up nicely, hopefully this weekend.

https://imgur.com/a/GEn1kDX

I really need to think of a song rec again. I haven't seen any on your tumblr for a while...*sad face*

I'm off to pick up a werewolf! I will not be elaborating.

After while, crocodile 🐊

I can imagine Angel Dust doing something of the like. At least he gave you a somehow respectful nickname: Shortcakes. Compared to Smiles.

Hah, well you and I are very different. I would rather spend time with people than pets. However I suppose to each their own. People entertain me far more, pets are simply loving. Oh well, I hope your cousin's did leave some tempting animals to play with. It was on them that you didn't return to dinner. Hah!

Yes, Charlie's costume parties are always fun. Oh well, I would love if you could pay the hotel a visit! Charlie would absolutely not mind if you showed up for a Halloween party! We've had an unfortunate amount of Floridians accidently end up in Hell and it usually ends badly for them. Hah, well, thank goodness you haven't run into our rather lively denizens! Beetlejuice? My, that's a rather fun outfit!

If I won the lottery? I'm sure I would wreck some havoc on New Orleans for the sake of it and take a canoe out on the Bayou. Terrify a few loitering teenagers. I'm not quite sure if I am being honest what I would do.

I am feeding Stanley plenty of pedophiles! It seems he has an insatiable appetite and he seems to crave beloved pets. KeeKee is far smarter than the pig to stay out of Stanley's way. I can arrange a chat between you and him if you so desire.

I am not a big fan of movies but sure, I'll give it a shot when I happen upon a chance. Hmm...none of it scares you? Interesting. I am personally not one to be scared of silly movies or books however I did find myself deeply invested in the fate of the characters. In the Shining book if I recall correctly, the father cared far more about his family in the book than in the movie where he was a raging horrible maniac. I could go on about it but I shall end it here.

Hmm...it wasn't a bad experience to be out of control of your own body? That is personally not something I would enjoy but to each their own, dear. I'm not one for Shirley Temples but I'm sure its tasty for you!

Yes, I would prefer to be called dapper. I've never been one to love cuss words but they surely have their place and time.

Why is it surprising? It's the only rightful thing to do. I know quite a quite a few people that would disgustingly take advantage of a situation like that, unfortunately. Common human decency is truly dead.

Yes, its always important to have a competent coworker. There's a surprising lack of that in the working world. He gave you candy? My, my. Yes, I do hope he doesn't quit either.

Hah! That's an absolutely delightful joke, dear!

Oh my, that is quite a lot of Halloween decorations! My mother would have a stroke if you saw it. Charlie I'm sure would be absolutely ecstatic! I wish you luck.

See you later, my dear, alligator!

PS: As much as I do enjoy our conversations, could you perhaps make your letters a bit shorter?

Diasomnia Chapter Translation

Disclaimer: Let me reiterate once again: I’m neither a native nor fluent JP speaker, there’s bound to be mistakes in here. I do this for fun and out of love for the game. I recommend revisiting these chapters once the more experienced translators have time to post.

Do not repost my translations!

Episode 7-38

[Black Screen]

*buzz buzz*

Idia:…ahh…

*buzz buzz*

Idia:..ngh, shut up…who is it…

???: Oh, you finally picked up. Hey, it’s already morning!

Idia:…Who are you?

Ortho: Hah…what, did you forget about your own little brother? It’s Ortho.

Idia: Ortho? He should be in our room...hm?

[Ignihyde Dorm – Idia’s Room]

Idia: *opens eyes and looks around* What…?

Ortho: Brother, how many years has it been since we shared the same nursery? You’re still half asleep.

Idia: No, I didn’t come to Night Raven College with Ortho…hm? Hm??

Idia: Ortho, where are you?

Ortho: Huh? Where else? At the Royal Sword Academy

Ortho: The entrance ceremony is today, and I’m a freshman! Night Raven College’s ceremony is also today, right?

Ortho: Brother also said that your first job as the Dorm Leader is today, so you cannot oversleep

Ortho: You asked me to give you a call to wake you up.

Idia: Is that so…? Yeah, I think that’s right

Ortho: It’s a different institution, but I’m still happy to go to school at the same island as my brother!

Idia: Right. Ortho is a highschool student…

Ortho: Haha! Why do you sound like a proud parent?

Ortho: I’m going to hang up now…Don’t fall asleep again! See you later!

Idia: Ahh. Maybe I’m still dizzy from being so absorbed in the game until late last night.

Idia: I mean, why did I ask Ortho to call me in the morning?

Idia: Our entrance ceremony starts at night.

Idia:…Well, today is a happy day since Ortho finally became a highschool student.

Idia: Now, how should I kill the time while waiting for the ceremony to start?

Idia:…I’m going to complete my dailies in the game

Idia: I’ll arrange the materials I got yesterday…and I’ll sell the ones I don’t need.

[Crimson Muscle logged in]

Idia: Huh? It’s Mr. Crimson Muscle. It’s rare of him to log in so early.

Gloomy Samurai: What a marathon for materials we had last night! It was hard to fall sleep.

Crimson Muscle: Thank you for your help last night. I think I’ll be able to craft the weapon I was aiming for thanks to you.

Gloomy Samurai: Oh, is it that big sword? Show it off in the next quest!

Crimson Muscle: Of course. I owe it all to you cooperation

Crimson Muscle: And the materials for the helmet you wanted seem to have been obtained by a certain someone.

Crimson Muscle: Will you take them?

Gloomy Samurai: What!! Is it really okay?! If you sold those super rare materials, you would make a fortune…

Crimson Muscle: Let’s move onto the next quest with the upgraded equipment.

Gloomy Samurai: Eh~ What a pleasure…my deepest gratitude~

Crimson Muscle: By the way, it’s strange for you to be logged in at this hour. Are you on a holiday?

Gloomy Samurai: I have to dress up tonight. I thought I’d complete my dailies while I’m at it.

Gloomy Samurai: Is Mr. Muscle on vacation?

Crimson Muscle: No, it’s not my day off, but I also have time until tonight.

Gloomy Samurai: Then why don’t we do the daily quests together?

Crimson Muscle: That sounds good. I’d love to accompany you

[timeskip]

Gloomy Samurai: Well, time to call it a day. Thank you for your time!

Crimson Muscle: I had a great time. See you later.

[Crimson Muscle logged out]

Idia: Phew. I was just going to complete my daily tasks, but I got so excited that I even completed a sub-quest.

Idia: I was able to craft new equipment thanks to the materials he gave me…today was a good day.

Idia:…now, I need to change my clothes and get ready.

Idia: Ah~ the entrance ceremony is a gathering for all the students. Such a big and troublesome event.

Idia: It feels like such a good day is about to take a turn for the worst…I hate it.

Idia: If only Ortho wasn’t looking forward to it...hm?

Idia: No, it has nothing to do with Ortho. He is enrolled at the Royal Sword Academy.

Idia: What am I even saying.

Idia: Well, let’s see.

Idia: Anyway, let me change into the ceremonial robes…and take the cleaning tag from last year off.

Idia: There’s too much fodder in my closet.

[to be continued]

Note: hahaha can you hear me crying from here? hahahahah...og!Ortho was about two years younger than Idia hahaha...*head in hands*

Fanfic Progress Update 157

It's Saturday, so you get updated on the fic writing. Happy Holidays, btw; over here we celebrate it tomorrow rather than on 25th, so I'm almost free from this hassle. Stay tuned for a sneak-peek for A Sign that you're important at the bottom of this post!

Current WIPs:

A Sign that you're important (previously named I'm Signing in the Drain)

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary: One month upon his assigment as Doctor Robotnik's assitant, Agent Stone is told to learn sign language. He doesn't know why, and isn't suicidal enough to ask, so he simply rolls with it. Turns out, it's not just a whimsy of the eccentric doctor, even though that doesn't stop the doctor from utilizing it like one.

Progress: The first chapter was posted on 21st of December. The second chapter will be posted on 28th of December aka next Thursday. Chapter 3 is finished. Chapter 4 has been started. This fic will most likely have five chapters, maybe six if I get epilogue-happy or smth.

Let's hope I can get an adequate amount of writing for this one done despite the Christmas hassle, cause I really don't want to panic-write the last two chapters on the week of posting them. ...I say, like I don't have three weeks to write chapter 4 at this point. But listen, I'm also making eyes at a next idea I have in a little list of ideas, like juggling two fics isn't enough. Tho in my defense, Lab Life is quietly writing itself in the background and doesn't count, especially if I can manage to queue up another fic after this one (I'd really prefer if Lab Life was fully written before I post any of it, because then I'd have lots of time to get started on the sequel while it keeps the readers fed). I'm gonna be so fucked when Hazbin Hotel airs and I might end up double-fandoming :D

-----

Life at the laboratory (previously known as SBLF, which, btw, was actually just short of StoBotnik LongFic, lol)

Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog, movieverse

Summary (temporary):

Wanted: a yesman who is capable of operating an espresso machine, has at least a higher IQ than your average amoeba, and is willing to put work before having a personal life, or indeed a life, period. The extra in your pathetic paycheck is good, but the strain in your psyche will make up for the positives. Forfeit your basic human rights and apply today if this sounds like you.

Maybe it said something about Agent Stone - and probably not good things - that the poster in the cafeteria's pin board piqued his interest more than any of his official assignments had for a good long while.

Dr. Robotnik, huh?

Progress: This one will be part one of a two-parter longfic, the first part probably... 10-ish chapters? It's a bit hard to estimate at this point, so the number is subject to change - will probably end up increased tbh. My weekly writing hour (as in, a specific hour when I sit down and write, no excuses [other than not being home]) is devoted to this fic.

I have the first four chapters completely written now. Chapter 5 is halfway done. I also have two halfway written chapters that don't yet know their exact placement within the fic (they're scenes that will be slotted in to wherever they feel natural, once we get Stone settled in.)

-----

Other WIPs I’m not currently working on but intend to get back to Someday™:

PoE Drabbles (Pillars of Eternity)

DC Drabbles (Justice League)

Diaphanous Relations (Forgotten Realms, R.A. Salvatore’s books)

Rolling with it (Zelda: BotW)

Hah, our afterlife is the most hilarious bushwa, dearest! (Hazbin Hotel)

-----

That’s it for the WIPs! Here’s the promised sneak-peek into A Sign that you're important (Note: the text may end up slightly different in the fic itself due to more editing happening before publishing). Enjoy!

As far as meetings went, Stone was usually patient and attentive. This time, however, he was certainly in agreement with the doctor that this particular meeting was honestly boring and pointless, and it wasn’t just Robotnik’s “hating meetings” -thing. The only reason the two of them had to be attending at all was because Robotnik had a presentation of his own to add to the collection that was happening right then, which meant that nothing the other people said was actually relevant to their jobs or worth listening to – they were just waiting for their turn. There was nothing interesting going on, and it was made worse by the people presenting their points doing it in the least interesting way they could and droning on and on and on about their projects.

Stone was, quite frankly, contemplating the merits of pretending to get a phone call and leaving the room to take it and then simply not coming back after. The only reason he didn’t was because the doctor would murder him for leaving him to suffer alone. The torture that came first would make this bore of a gathering seem like a cakewalk in comparison, and then end with his mother grieving for her dead son. It was probably better for his career prospects to stay. Or he could take the window instead, this was the seventh floor, it’d be a swift end and he’d avoid the torture part…

His morbid ways of self-amusement were interrupted when the doctor – sitting on his right – suddenly moved. More precisely, his hands un-steepled themselves from the table and started forming words.

-----

That’s it this time. See you next Saturday!

This is chapter offically starts the U-20 arc. This arc will be split into 3-4 part

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 3.5, Part 4

SPOILER OF THE MANGA

This chapter is very short, but once the match starts then it will get long.

Also READ the other PARTS, it not that hard cause there are backgroup info.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day had finally approached, Isagi remained calm.

In the locker room, the Blue Lock team was checking out their new uniform. The official Blue Lock uniform for the people playing and the standby players.

Some were minding their own business and keeping their cool, while others were having small talk to keep their nerves in check.

While they are minding their own business Ego came in, wearing a suit. Ego likes to look good in front of the people of Japan.

“Hello, I’m running a bit late tonight, but I have finally decided who will be playing and who will be benched.” Pressing on his tablet the screen project with the benched members.

“Be ready to join the team at a moment's notice and don’t let your guard down. Now be ready the past two weeks you have united as one team all with one goal to win this match. In these 90 minutes let Japan know your name and allow your egos to crave the world.”

In the hallway, the U-20 teams have already lined up, Itoshi Sae is leading alongside his brother Itoshi Rin as the first lineup for Blue Lock.

‘It’s time.’

“Hey, that Shido dude use to be on your team, right?”

“!”

“Sorry to say, but he won’t be playing today.” U-20’s team captain and main centre-back said to Isagi, “We’ll end this without letting you guy’s scoring once. So good luck Blue Lock.”

‘That's right, right now my soccer career is on the line. It’s only because I have lived through everything. I can’t lose, no matter what.’

As the players entered the field waves of applause rang from every direction, with the blinding shatter of camera and light. Most fans here today are for the U-20 team and Itoshi Sae.

‘Wow, I really have come a long way to this amazing place. To think the me before Blue Lock wouldn’t have been able to imagine such a sight. This immense crowd, I wonder how far I will be able to go… No’ Isagi grip his hands into a ball, heavy adrenaline began to pump into his veins.

‘I need to focus, focus on myself and become immersed in his fight!’

Wack

“Oof!?”

“Lukewarm, what are you getting nervous for? Dumbass” questioned Rin

“Hah” Isagi called out “It’s called being excited.”

This officially starts the U-20 Japan National Team vs Blue Lock Eleven

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The School Holiday has officially started so for the next 2 weeks I will mainly focus on the U-20 arc and continue planning for the filler chapters

"Good afternoon, dear friends! Today we have gathered to celebrate the ancient holiday of the peoples of Khanty and Mansi. The wagtail holiday-the holiday of waiting for a warm summer!"

"Over Konda the ice sparkled, it did not let the water dance, the wagtail flew in, the ice turned gray, and it began to crumble. The ice floes creaked with a roar, taking the frosts into the distance. She broke them with her tail, little bird, and it’s not a pity!"

*A song*

"The Khanty and Mansi revere us, the Wagtails, very much." "And the Kondinsky Mansi devoted a whole holiday to us, so there!" "And the Khanty believe that the wagtail brings happiness, and that's certainly true, for that, they call us: "йис туты вой" - ("soul-bearing bird")." "Hah! And the southern Khanty believe that thanks to the wagtail, children begin to speak, and this is true, true, true! Because when we fly south in the fall, we leave them - hmm! - a speech!" And the women, talking with the wagtail, ask her to help the children, protect them. And also the Mansi say that- *talk over each other* "Ah!" A third wagtail pushes them apart. "Boasters! You boast, but don't look around!" "So what?" They both say. "You see, there's ice everywhere!" The ice waves their hands. "Hey!" "The winter must want to return!" "Ah! But we've smashed it all! For warmth and light to come! And there they are again-!" She swats her wing at them. "-Frozen..." "Alright, sisters, don't panic! We broke it once - we will break it again! And no problem! So what are we waiting for? Let's get to it!" "Let's go!"

"What is it?! It doesn't work! Let's stomp on it." "Again doesn't work! Let's knock?" "Still doesn't work!" "Let's dance?" "Doesn't work, let's spin around. Harder, harder girls!" "Let's walk in circles. Faster, faster let's spin it! Go on, go on!" "It doesn't work at all! Well, what to do now?! We can't break the ice!" The ice closes in on them, taunting. "Scram!" The wagtails swat at it. The ice backs away and laughs. "I know! Let's ask the kids to help us!" "Well, I don't know, I don't know! What if they won't manage it?" "Well, let's try! Will you help us?" "Yes!" "Alright! Repeat all the moves after us!" "Let's melt that ice! Let's break it. Prepare your little wings!" "Yeah, show him! The ice has moved!" "Hurray! Thank you!"

"The old winter sure gave us trouble this year." "Yes, almost ruined all summer!" "Oh, look who's that over there? Ah, that's Mother-of-mothers! Only... She looks at us way too angrily! Oh, what happened to her?" Mothe-of-mothers walks around with an icy glare. "... She doesn't recognize us..." "Who has broken all of my ice?!" "That was us, we did it!" "I wanted to freeze the hearts of humans-" "Ghasp!" "So that they couldn't enjoy the summer's light and warmth!" "Oh, sisters, isn't Mother-of-mothers bewitched by that mantle?" "Gasp! Right, we must get it off her quickly!" "There is no way! You won't succeed!" "Kids, help us, help us! Let's blow away that awful mantle off of the Mother-of-mothers! Inhale!" "On the count of three let's blow very hard at the Mother-of-mothers together, and take off that mantle!" "One...Two...Three! Blow!" "Oooh!" Mother-of-mothers gets blown away towards the ice. "Again, one more time!" "Ooh!" "Again, do it again!" "Ooh!" "Huzzah!"

"Oh! What's happening here? Why are you trying to blow me away?" "Yes, we did it! The spell is off! "We, respected Mother-of-mothers, we're saving you from the mantle the winter has cast on you, bewitching you. She wanted to freeze everyone!" "Oh, she's tricky! Doesn't want to give up. But it's summer already! My dear messengers of summer light and warmth, thank you!" "And thank you, kids!" "I ask the spirits of the sky to send us a hot long summer. Warm rains, so that the berries would appear as soon as possible. Let the rivers and lakes be full of fish, and the forests of beasts!"

"Mother-of-mothers, let's test how well the kids know our birds!" "Yes, let's play our favorite game, that's called-"Guess who's voice."" "Let's play?" "Yes!" *Play the game* (I don't feel like writing all that. Maybe later.)

"Good job, kids!"

"My dear adult daughters and sons- Oh!" The men with drums walk in "Haha!" "My dear children, I congratulate you on the holiday of the wagtail! The first summer bird has flown, the sacred little bird has flown. The winter won't come back!" "Hurrah!" "My dears, it's time for us to depart. Piece to you, kind people!" The woman sings. "A warm summer to you! Fareeval!" Speaks language "Whole hands to you whole legs, live happily, and have good thoughts! speaks language" walks off stage.

Tales from Aquamarine: "Mistletoe"

Dolly and Atlas were summoned to the medical room for their routine check-up from Dr Lou Ambrose. Nothing too unusual other than the fact that they were asked to come together today, which in itself wasn’t too outlandish.

The door slides open and they see not only Dr Ambrose sitting inside, but also her twin sister, Nina, though everyone just calls her simply “Boss”.

“Good afternoon, you two~” Lou happily sings.

“Good afternoon, Dr Ambrose and, um, Miss Boss. To what do we owe the pleasure?” Dolly greets.

Atlas frowns at the sight of the Boss. She’s never anything but trouble, but when paired with her sister it’s a cause for concern. “Hi, Lou. …Boss.”

“Stop right there.” Boss points upward to the door frame where a mistletoe is hanging. Dolly and Atlas look up in shock. Of course, this is the true reason they were summoned together and that Boss is here to bother them. It’s the holiday season and the twins decided it’s time for some seasonal joy on behalf of their coworkers’ misery.

“You know the rules. Under a mistletoe two people must kiss!” Boss exclaims with a wicked smile.

“E-Excuse me? We’re here for our check up.” Atlas retorts.

“I’m not letting you two go until you give each other a little smooch.” Boss smirks, tapping her lip with a finger.

“That’s right. We’ll be waiting!” Lou smiles from her swivel chair, swinging side to side.

Dolly looks up to Atlas who’s not only blushing but also looks like they might attack the twins right then and there. She covers her mouth on the side that the twins are sitting on with her hand and whispers up to Atlas, “Let’s just get it over and done with so we can leave.”

“Okay.” Atlas awkwardly holds Dolly’s shoulders and leans over to kiss her forehead. Dolly blushes but does well to keep her composure. On the other hand, Atlas is shaking in embarrassment. The two weren’t really ‘anything’, just work partners and roommates, but it was undeniable that something more than friendship was lingering between them.

“Booo! You’re supposed to kiss on the lips!” Lou jeers, pointing her thumbs down.

”Just awful. Do it again, properly!” Boss commands.

“What? But we did as you asked…” Atlas grits their teeth.

“Nuh uh. We want you to kiss properly. That was pathetic!” Lou cackles.

Dolly tugs at their sleeve, looking up to Atlas and whispering again. ”We have to. You know what they’re like…”

Atlas hesitates but they want nothing more than to leave this room. Undoubtedly they’d imagined kissing Dolly before but not in this nightmarish scenario. They wonder if Dolly ever imagined those kinds of things too. Surely not.

“A-Are you sure…? We can just leave. Come, let’s go.”

Before Atlas can do anything, Dolly tugs at their collar and promptly presses her lips against theirs, standing on her tip-toes to reach them. Atlas feels her warm, soft lips against theirs for only brief seconds, then parting as Dolly lets go of them. Atlas’ eyes are wide open and their cheeks a deep red while Dolly turns to the twins who are much more satisfied with this kiss.

“Thank you very much!” Boss smiles as she swipes away some cash from her sister, who has seemingly lost a bet.

“Ugh. Atlas! Why didn’t you do anything?!” Lou exclaims.

“What?” Atlas is so taken aback by Dolly kissing them that Lou’s question dumbfounds them.

“I bet my money on you starting the kiss, damnit!” Lou whines.

“Hah. You’re just mad that you don’t have my intuition, LouLou.“ Boss claims.

“You summoned us here just for a bet?” Dolly asks.

“Well, I mean, I’m still gonna do your check ups and all.” Lou pouts. “Now shoo!” She signals for her older sister to leave, to which Boss obeys and struts out of the doctor’s office, shoving Atlas out of her way while exiting. You’d never see anyone else being so casual with Boss like that other than Lou. It’s always rather jarring to watch because if it were anyone else, Boss would probably lop their head off.

Atlas is standing there in a daze, seemingly unbothered by Boss shoving them. Dolly’s far more composed, definitely a bit shaken up too, but her face is a lot harder to read.

Yule Log Tutorial, Wheel of the Year

As the Holidays approach, out come a variety of traditions and decorations. For most Pagans, Wiccans and Variety of Witches, a Yule Log is one of these primary customs. The Yule Log has roots (hah see what I did there) in Norse and German Traditions. Today we’re going to walk through a photo tutorial on how to make your very own Yule Log (and not the 12 foot tree kind..lol)

A Moment in History: Yule Logs

Perhaps one of the most widely known traditions of Yule, the Yule Log was a large trunk or tree that was carried into the home and decorated with symbols of protection. One end was lit with a piece from the previous year’s yule log and then the tree was slowly pushed into the hearth where it would burn for up to 12 days!

Once the tree was burned, the ashes were gathered and buried into the soil for good luck in the next years harvest. (We now know that potassium which is found is wood ash is very good for plants so it makes sense why they would consider it good luck!)

Any piece of the tree that had not been burned was placed under the bed of the home owner as a protective charm against fires, lightening and other bad luck. This piece was then used to light the next year’s Yule Log.

Since fireplaces are much smaller now, a smaller version was created; serving as a Holiday centerpiece and then the entire log was burned during the winter Solstice.

Today’s tutorial is going to combine the making of your own small Yule Log with the natural (or not) decorations of a Yule Tree. I’ll be including the magical correspondences from the type of wood you use down to the decorations you use to decorate.

Feel free to make your Yule Log as big or small, simple or fancy as you would like. You can mini ones to decorate your tree or give to friends or create a large on for your fireplace or yard.

Yule Logs: A Tutorial

First you’re going to need some supplies.

Some things you’re going to need include:

A Wood Log(I’m using Maple in these pictures)

A Drill or Dremel (please be careful!)

Hot Glue

Candles( you’ll need 3, they can be tapers or tealights)

Plants

Crystals

Herbs

Or any other type of decoration you choose to use.

First you’ll need to prep your log.Trim and smooth the bottom so that it lays flat and doesn’t roll around.

Then you’ll need to prep your log for candles. Using a drill press, drill holes the same width as your candles. If you don’t have a drill or don’t feel comfortable using one, just make sure to use a good bit of Hot Glue to hold everything down.

Using your Hot Glue, decorate your Yule Log. Pine Branches, Mistletoe, Holly and dried fruit slices all make for lovely natural decorations. You can also include ribbons, bells,ornament balls or glitter.

That’s it! You can then display your Yule Log for the Holidays and Burn the candles down leading up to the Solstice.

To make a mini Yule log, use a small branch, birthday candles and some wire to turn it into a small ornament for your tree.

Yule Log Magic Correspondences.

Yule Log Wood Magic

There’s a variety of tree you can use for the log portion of your Yule Log. Traditionally the wood had to be gifted or foraged, not bought. But if you’re not in an area that you can do so, don’t be afraid to purchase the supplies you need.

Here’s some of the Woods and their Corresponding Magics you can use for your Yule Log.

Birch (fertility, creativity, cleansing, and new beginnings)

Aspen (defeating your fears, divination, spiritual knowledge, and perception)

Oak (intellect, leadership, security, resilience, endurance, and wisdom)

Pine (success, well-being, joy, excitement, and spiritual awakenings)

Ash (wealth, prosperity, transitions, growth, peace, and the strength of women)

Holly (protection, expertise, analysis, and opens your mind to accept revelations (useful for divination)

Willow (balance, intuition, sentimental feelings, the flow of water, and to honor a god/goddess/deity)

Yew (ancestry, history, aging, dying, transitions, thoughts, and memory)

Rowan (defense, control of one’s actions, in defense of animals, growth, and fresh ideas)

Alder (spiritual guidance, creativity, choices, and safeguarding yourself against harm)

Hazel (knowledge, creative inspiration, proficiency, and practicality)

Yule Log Decorations Magic

The Plants and other Decorations you can use to for your Yule Log also have their own magic. Holly, Mistletoe and Pine are the most common decorations used.

Cinnamon Sticks (Good Luck, Love)

Dried Orange Slices (Sun Energy)

Pomegranates (Abundance, Sun Energy)

Baby’s Breath (Purity, Innocence,Love)

Cloves (Protection, Clarity)

Star Anise (Good Luck, Purification, Psychic Ability)

Pine Cones (Cleansing Purification, Repels Negativity)

Rosemary (Repels Negativity, Cleansing, Memory, Love, Protection)

Cranberries (Abundance, Protection, Grounding)

Mistletoe (Love, Protection, Peace)( Note! Mistletoe is toxic to pets so please take care when adding to your Yule Log)

Yule Log Color Magic

Pick 3 candle colors for your Yule Log. You can also use these colors for your ribbons or other decorations.

Red, Green and Gold (Holiday colors)

Silver, Blue and White (Moon energy)

Red, Orange and Gold (Sun Energy)

All White (Purification, All Magic)

White- Purification,Healing, Regeneration, Unity,

Black- Protection, Remove Negativity, Contact Ancestors, Remove Bad Habits

Yellow- Intellect, Mental Clarity,Communication,Element of Air

Do you still read the newspaper or have an online newspaper subscription? I have to check the news everyday for work purposes. That's multiple websites of newspapers, their social media accounts, and online magazines.

What's your favourite kind of meat? (vegan/vegetarian options count!) Chicken. I only like pork as pork belly tbh, and steak for me is always a hit or miss.

Have you ever been mistaken for staff at a store you were just visiting? Maybe once or twice; it doesn't happen often. I've been mistaken more frequently as someone's companion. Like people will think they're talking to their friend when it's me.

What's the coolest or most memorable animal you've ever seen at a zoo? The Philippine eagle, but I don't really get *amazed* per se when I see 'cool' animals at zoos. I just feel bad.

Do you share a bedroom with anybody? No. My sister and I tried to share a room once, but it lasted for all of a week because she hated sharing a room with anyone lol. The room also felt super cramped so we quickly decided it wasn't going to work.

What colour are the public buses where you live? We have these white mini-buses that'll pass by here every now and then, and they're white. The bigger buses that traverse Edsa are white and yellow if I'm not mistaken.

How often do you pay your utilities bills? I'm not assigned to any bills in particular, but I transfer to my parents' accounts twice a month. I let them decide how to allot the money.

What video game have you played the most hours of? If you don't know, just make a rough guess. I would guess The Sims 2; that or GTA San Andreas.

Do you own a two-piece bikini? I only own bikinis; I hate how one-pieces feel.

Is there anybody else in the room you're in right now? Nopes.

What have you got within reaching distance of you right now? My phone, my McDonald's orders, pillows, chargers, blanket, work chair, vape.

What have you been craving lately, food-wise? Anything non-food? McDonald's. I overordered last night because I was hungry so I got all my favorites lmao - a triple cheeseburger, large fries, and nuggets.

Is your short-term or long-term memory worse? My short-term memory is horrible; it comes as a disadvantage especially at work and I wouldn't blame my co-workers if they label me as forgetful.

Do you do anything in particular to help you fall asleep? I need to have videos on with the volume at the lowest setting. To avoid draining my battery I have a timer set so that when it runs out my phone will automatically turn the video off.

What was the weather like today? Too early to tell; it's only 7:20 AM. Right now the sun is out but I also wouldn't be surprised if it suddenly rains super aggressively later on in the day as that pattern has been happening lately.

Who will you see within the next week? My dentist, and I am guessing Angela, Hans, and Reena. We've been dying to go to the karaoke these days and I think we'll finally get to next Monday as it will be a public holiday.

Do you have any guilty pleasure music? Anything you're willing to admit in this survey answer? Idk if there's any? I don't feel guilty about anyone whose songs I like.

What was the last movie you watched that was over two hours long? It's been so long since I watched a long movie. It was probably either Titanic or Gone with the Wind.

Speaking of which, what's the longest you think a movie should be? I personally think most movies are too long. It depends on the plot and execution, so I'm not very nitpicky when it comes to this. If a movie needs to be 7 hours long to get its message and art across then so be it.

Do you know anyone who is a medical nurse or doctor? Yes so many people. I'm Asian (aka kids are pressured to be doctors) and Filipino (aka a heavyweight in nursing), so it checks out hah.

Have you ever worked night shifts? If so, did you like it? I have not. I once scored a job interview that would have been a night shift if I got the gig, but at the last minute I decided I didn't want to be in it so I didn't push through with the interview.

Are you good at fixing computer problems? I'd say just basic ones but I'll struggle with even those sometimes, so for the most part no. I leave the troubleshooting to my sister.

Do you tend to make decisions by following your heart or your head? Head.

What's the population of your current city/town? A little below one million.

Do your parents live in their hometown(s)? Nope.

What are you wearing today? My favorite purple pajamas.

Are you one to accessorise a lot? Not at all.

What language other than English do you know the most words of? Filipino.

When was the last time you ate? Did you eat something nice? I'm taking a few bites out of my cheeseburger every now and then this morning. Like I said, I overordered McDonald's last night because I was hungry LOL so most of the shit I got is still here with me today. The only thing I finished last night was the fries and that's because there's no way you can save fries that have gone cold.

cat!Zishu AU p.6

happy holidays friends! Thank you for all your lovely tags and replies! I read them all and they make me really happy! My favorite anon I missed you in my inbox so I hope you like this part <3

There's about 1 more fluffy part before we get hit with ~f e e l i n g s~ and the ratings will also go up after that in a sexy way

Inspired by @rhymesswith’s brainchild and beautiful art here and here. There's also a SUPER ADORABLE AU AU installment here that I absolutely adore.

Part 1 Part 2 Part3 Part4 Part 5

Rating G

CW semi nudity

The day starts off rather poorly.

Wen Kexing is in his boxers looking down at him cheerily, ‘A-Xu let me give you a bath today.’ Zishu scoffs with a little swish of his tail. The only time anyone’s ever ‘given him a bath’ before was Han Ying and that was when Zishu was unconscious and bleeding steadily from getting stabbed.

As long as there is no sharp blade in his abdomen, and even then, he can do everything himself. Has he been swallowing bucketfuls of cat hair everyday for Wen Kexing to just decide to give him a bath? Wen Kexing, still mostly naked and smiling brightly, refills Zishu’s water bowl and dry food. Wen Kexing lets Zishu graze at the food in his bowl before he easily lifts Zishu up off the ground with both hands tucked under his Zishu’s forearms. Zishu hangs in Wen Kexing’s grip like that, glaring at him then sighs, giving in to his fate.

He supposes his self sufficiency has long ended with the loss of his opposable thumbs, height and bipedalism. When Wen Kexing carries him to the bathroom, he stays docile. He used to take baths as a human, liked them even. Zishu likes to think of himself as a very clean cat, spending most of the time that he’s not being harassed by Wen Kexing, grooming himself. But even he has to admit that water and soap likely trumps cat saliva on the hygiene front.

Wen Kexing deposits him in the bathtub, puts a little bucket under the sink and turns it on. He puts his hand into the water, then dumps it out and lets it refill with warmer water that is now running out of the tap. The dumped out water splashes a little and flows underneath Zishu. He shivers, the water uncomfortably cold against the pink pads of his feet, glad that Wen Kexing has the sense to bathe him with hot water.

‘Hah! A-Xu you’re such a funny cat, usually you are so grumpy but when I expect you to be difficult, you’re actually so obedient.’

Who’s obedient? Zishu thinks, then flicks his tail so that Wen Kexing gets splashed in the face. That manages only to make Wen Kexing laugh, ‘okay, okay! You are a fierce predator. Rawrrr!’ Wen Kexing actually makes the rawr sound with his mouth and Zishu has to wonder how Wen Kexing manages to live with himself. Zishu has a hard time managing just the second hand embarrassment he feels from Wen Kexing’s silly and over the top antics.

The point of no return for this absolutely rubbish day, that Wen Kexing has already spent too much of naked, is when Wen Kexing pulls out the hanfu. Zishu doesn’t really notice at first, he’s been washed and then carefully blowdried. He’s feeling rather tired from all the excitement then lulled into sleep by the steady and comfortable warmth from the blow dryer. Afterwards, Wen Kexing had diligently brushed his coat, the soft rounded edges of the comb soothing against Zishu’s fur-coated skin.

Hence, Zishu doesn’t notice the hanfu. Not when it’s conspicuously pulled out of a dresser. Not when it’s being ironed by a Wen Kexing whistling a cheery tune. Not even when Wen Kexing lays it out, light blue with cloud patterns and a bright pink belt, smooth and hot from the iron, the perfect size for a toddler…or a mid-sized cat.

It’s not until Wen Kexing has gingerly lifted one of his paws up to slide the sleeve on, that Zishu finally notices what’s happening, jumping up with a surprised yelp and backing away. Wen Kexing pouts, ‘A-Xu please,’ he says wheedling, ‘it’s the first time you’re meeting my family. I want it to be special. That’s why I got us matching clothes.’ Zishu doesn’t know why Wen Kexing thought that would endear Zishu to the idea. But seeing Wen Kexing’s matching light blue half sleeve shirt and the bright pink full sleeve undershirt, has convinced Zishu that he has to fight this madness with every fiber of his being.

Prepared to claw out several chunks of Wen Kexing’s flesh this time, he gets into position for the standoff. Over half an hour and several rounds around the apartment later, Wen Kexing manages to slip the hanfu around Zishu’s shoulders and ties the pink belt into a neat bow behind his back. Zishu still bites at the sleeves in protest and glares as hard as he can while Kexing takes picture after picture, the treats Zishu ultimately exchanged his dignity for suddenly feels like ash on his tongue.

Not that Kexing notices, cooing over every picture and turning his screen around to Zishu for him to see as though he’s expecting Zishu to give him an opinion on which one he likes. Which goes to show how little Wen Kexing actually cares for his opinion. If he did, he would delete every single one of them because Zishu approves of NONE.

Instead, Wen Kexing puts one of the blurry selfies he took of them in their matching outfits in his WeChat stories as ~me and bae <3 <3~ and Zishu out of respect for the high quality of the silk draped around him stops biting at his sleeves.

universe: harry potter

Your day really could not have been worse. First you overslept this morning, which subsequently made you show up late to work, then the little café where you temporarily found a part-time job was overcrowded and of course, a tray you were carrying fell on the floor shortly before the café closed. And as if all of this was not enough to call today the worst day in world history, after work your boss immediately asked you to spy on the restaurant, which only recently opened on the other side of the street.

Together with your dearest and beloved co-worker, Draco Malfoy.

The fact that you are now sitting at a small table across from him in the late evening absolutely does not improve your mood at all, especially not when you think about how you could already be lying in your cozy bed by now and also not when a specific someone hardly seems to care about the whole situation.

“What are you taking?”, Draco asks you, disinterest more than obvious in his voice, which makes you wonder why he is even asking you in the first place. It is not like you came here to talk. That bastard noticed your bad mood right away and is now having the time of his life by annoying you even more and overworking your leftover patience.

“The recommendation of the day. It does not matter anyway, we are just here to find out why the restaurant is doing so well so quickly”, you answer without any emotion, closing the menu loudly so that you draw the attention of the couple at the table next to you for a second.

“Not that hurts me deeply. I thought this was our first date”, he replies cheekily and looks at you over the edge of the menu, his gaze unidentifiable.

“Hah! You wish”, you roll your eyes and try not to get involved in his stupid games. You have had a shitty day anyway, you will not give him the satisfaction of being the reason your day is getting even worse - if that is even possible.

“What can I bring the two of you?”, the waiter finally announces when he comes to your table. After you have placed your order, he walks away, leaving you alone with Draco once again, but this time without the distraction that the menu was.

“Did you dress yourself so beautiful for me today?”, Draco picks up the conversation again and as suspected, it is with a snarky remark. However, once you realize his words, you only now notice the brownish stain that the coffee, which flew to the ground along with the tray earlier, has left on your blouse. Embarrassed, you cross your arms to shield your body from greedy looks – including Draco’s.

“You are absolutely annoying”, you put on a fake smile, which Draco immediately replies with pleasure, seemingly pleased with the description. The satisfied grin on his face, on the other hand, only makes you angrier.

“Keep your mouth shut.”

“I am not saying anything!”

“Your face says it all. This grin of yours is really disgusting, almost unbearable”, you choke and for a moment you think you see a shift in his expression. The next second, however, his grin only widens, which is why you roll your eyes and focus your gaze on the people outside walking through the rain.

Not long after that, your steaming dishes stand on the table, and you have to honestly admit that it smells and looks damn good. Not only that, it also tastes delicious. No wonder that this restaurant is already so busy after a week, the food here is heavenly and lets you forget your bad day for a brief moment.

At least until your gaze falls on the man in front of you again.

“Stop watching me eat”, you sigh in annoyance and let your fork sink, not continuing to eat as long as he stares at you.

“I just wanted to look out for you. Not that you stain your blouse even more”, he winks at you before he casually starts to eat. Fighting an internal battle with yourself, you try not to freak out any moment. You agree with yourself that you will try to eat quickly so that this will end very soon, because you cannot take him for any longer.

“And what do we tell our boss now? That the restaurant is much better than his café and that he can actually just give up and close it right away?”, Draco mentions after he has emptied his plate and looks at you with that annoying grin again.

“No idea, you can tell him if you want”, you reply sweetly. “When you are done, I would like to pay now.”

“Did you already have enough of me? Am I wasting your precious time?”, Draco laughs briefly, but already waves one of the waiters over to you.

“I think you know the answer to that question”, you answer irritably. When you cannot seem to find your walled in your pocket in the next moment, however, you suddenly feel really sick. You left it at home this morning in your hurry. Which would not have been a problem on a normal day since you always go home straight away after work. But it had to happen today, of course.

“Can you pay?”

Visible shock spreads all over your face as you say these words at the exact same time as Draco does, looking at each other with widened eyes.

This cannot be true.

“You go to a restaurant with no money?!”, you whisper yell at him to attract as little attention as possible.

“And what did you do?! I thought I could rely on you for once!”

“Excuse me? Usually you can rely on me, but today is an exception!”

“Oh, is it now?”

“Yes! And now think of something clever so that we do not get into serious problems right away”, your urge him angrily, your patience now actually at the end. The waiter, who now joins you and puts the receipt on the table, lets your breath get caught in your throat. You have a very big problem.

What you did not expect when you asked Draco to come up with something to get out of this situation is that he suddenly gets up and kneels down next to you, as if …

“Dearest Y/N, I have been waiting for this one very special moment for a very long time and now it has finally come. After all our years together, I would like to finally ask you this question: Will you marry me?”, Draco says and suddenly all of the attention is on you and only you. Not only do his words feel so sincere, but they also trigger something inside of you. Unsure how to react to his proposal, you only understand his plan after he gives you a subtle sign with his eyes.

“Y-Yes! Of course I want to!”, you reply quickly, rather inauthentically, but nobody seems to notice or pay attention to it. The entire restaurant suddenly cheers and even the boss comes in to congratulate the both of you. And as if that were not enough, he does not want you to pay for anything.

It takes a while before you can tear yourself away from them and finally disappear out of the restaurant, but as soon as you step outside the door and into the cold night, you both fall into a fit of laughter at the same time.

“That was the craziest thing I have ever done!”, you laugh, your hand on your stomach which is already aching from laughing so hard.

“Did you see their faces? I should become an actor!”, Draco replies with a giggle, his laugh so beautiful as you have rarely heard anyone laugh like this. So pure and, overall, real.

“It was brilliant”, you smile at him and for a brief moment you look at each other in silence. The rain has become less in the meantime and only lightly drips onto you from the grey clouds. Even though it is cold outside, you feel a pleasant warmth inside of you, until he nervously averts his gaze, coughing.

“W-Well, I have to go now��, he clears his throat, and it seems as if he does not quite know how to behave now that he basically asked you to marry him.

“It is fine. See you tomorrow?”, you ask, somehow hopeful, and when he nods, you cannot suppress a happy smile.

“See you tomorrow, Y/N.”

“See you tomorrow, Draco. Maybe you are not that bad after all.”
