Hello everyone!! How are you today??? How are you preparing for tomorrow??

I'm soooo glad to bring a last posepack this year.... I thought I wouldn't make it, but I have wanted to do some poses with sparkles for two years now and this year I said: I don't want to miss it, even if it's the last pack I make. And yes, that's right, it's the last one... for this year...

If I had unlimited time, I would bring many more pose packs because the ideas inside my head never end... but unfortunately, we only have 24 hours a day and of those 24 we have to divide them up to eat, sleep and take care of real life as well haha...

But hey, at least I managed to make this last pose pack so that those pixel families and the little ones in the house can celebrate, with a little sparkle, New Year's Eve...

BTW that last pose and the cover pic... is a little reference to the last save I have been playing and sharing on Bsky haha xD... I needed to do a pose for them... I needed to make them be in a cover pic yayyy... and the other poses were some ideas i had save, some from 2 years ago, some from last year... I'm really happy that I was able to finally made them...

I hope you like and enjoy this last pose pack of 2024!!

hiii!!! can you write a kinito x reader oneshot heehee (where he like confesses to the reader or something like that!!!) thanksssss

Separated By the Screen: KinitoPET X Reader

Summary: Read request above <3 Character: Kinito from KinitoPET Warnings: None :) Genre: Fluff! Author's Note: My first request! Yayyy! Thank youuuu! <33333 I absolutely ADORE Kinito, so I loved writing this! I hope you enjoy it!! ^^ Word Count: 926 (sorry this wasn't longer!)

"Ugh, my back..-" Y/N groaned, stretching and closing their eyes. They took a deep breath in through their nose. Being hunched over their computer wasn't the best for their back, and it was starting to hurt.

At the sound of their complaints, their little personal computer assistant, Kinito, looked up from the book he was reading, looking at them through his glasses.

"Friend? Are you okay?" He asked, standing up now from where he'd been sitting, the glasses on his face disappearing.

"Hm?" They opened their eyes to look at Kinito before they stopped stretching. "Yeah, I'm alright! Just.. Ugh, my back is hurting."

"Then you should take a break!" He suggested, pointing upward with his index finger. "Let's talk! You've just been sorting emails and looking stuff up!" Y/N paused, thinking. Yeah, they had been doing stuff for a bit now, and it was getting late. A break would be nice. And a nice conversation sounded very appealing, especially with their best friend!

"Yeah, sure." They gave Kinito a smile, turning down the brightness of their computer screen just a touch. "I'd love to."

"Excellent!" Kinito cheered, clasping his hands together. "Why don't you tell me how your day went?" "Oh!" Y/N chuckled, smiling warmly. He was always so considerate, always asking how their day went and how they were. "Uhh, it was good. Not much happened. I mostly just, you know, went through my routine." They cringed, thinking about how boring their life could be sometimes.

"Well, that's nice to hear! I'm glad you had a good day." Kinito smiled, kind of. He didn't have a mouth, but one could tell when he was smiling. He sort of smiled with his eyes.

"Haha," They laughed, folding their arms neatly on their desk and leaning forward just a bit. "Thanks, Kinito. I'm glad I had a good day too. And what about you? How was your day?"

"It was good! Thank you for asking, friend!" The digital axolotl replied eagerly, his tone warm. "Although... I have had something on my mind recently, if you're willing to listen, friend."

Y/N raised an eyebrow curiously before they relaxed their expression. "Sure! Go ahead."

"Well, you see, friend," Kinito began, pausing and closing his eyes as if to steady himself, as if he were taking a deep breath to prepare himself for what he was about to say-despite not requiring breath as a digital being. "I've been thinking lately, about how much fun we have together! About how much I enjoy talking to you, and how we always have such a good time together."

"You always make me happy, and I hope I've been doing the same for you." He continued. "You're really my best friend, and I've been thinking..." "I think I really like you... beyond that. I'd even go as far as to say I love you, if that's alright. If you're up for it, would you like to try taking this a bit further? I promise, I'll be a perfect boyfriend, just for you! You already know I can adapt flawlessly to your wants and needs."

Y/N paused, and they thought. A lot of things were making sense now: the little favors he did, such as deleting spam emails for them, finding websites and articles about stuff they mentioned they were interested in. The way he made little minigames and poems for them, just because he said he wanted to see them happy. It all made sense. That was why he was doing it. He liked them.

He loved them.

"Oh, Kinito." Y/N chuckled, smiling fondly at the computer assistant they'd become so familiar with. "You know, I feel the exact same way. And yes, I'd love to try a relationship with you." Kinito's eyes seemed to widen at that. "Really?" He asked. "Yeah, of course. I really, really like you, Kinito." They replied. "You're my best friend, and I mean... I guess now you're my boyfriend."

"Hooray!" Kinito clasped his hands together, the joy in his tone clear. "I'm so happy! If I'm being honest, I was afraid you'd decline. I know I'm really just a computer program to most, and I was afraid you wouldn't feel the way I do because of that."

"Awe..." They chuckled. "Well, I do feel the same way. You being in my computer doesn't change that."

Kinito gave them that smile, the smile he didn't really have, but was obvious on his face before speaking up. "Friend, can you close your eyes?" Y/N gave a little huff of a laugh. "Sure." They replied, closing their eyes. Through their eyelids, they could see the flash of a bright, white light before the space in front of them felt a smaller. Then, they kind of... felt something on their lips? Opening their eyes, they saw... Kinito?! He was out of the computer (mostly), his hands on the screen frame while part of his legs were still inside of the screen. His eyes were closed, and he seemed to be kissing them. Well, as much as he could've without a mouth. It was brief, and Kinito quickly pulled away, a joyful expression on his face. "Friend! Isn't this wonderful?" He asked them eagerly. "Now we can always be together!" Y/N blinked, recovering from the shock before they laughed. "Yeah, Kinito! Yeah, it's great!" "I'm so glad you think so!" Kinito exclaimed joyfully, giving them that smile that wasn't really visible in the traditional sense. "I love you." They smiled.

"I love you too."

tged webtoon ep 171 spoilers and thoughts but i'm mostly just going "YAY I LIKED THIS MOMENT" and more below the cut

.

DEMON KING LLOYD HELLO. HELLO?? WHAT. WHY?? BUT WOW. HOLY SHIT. I REALLY REALLY LIKE THIS

I LOVE WHEN CHARACTERS GAIN WINGS AND HORNS AND . GHGHHGHGHHG AAAHHH ITS MY FAVORITE THING if you didn't already know dragon lloyd was like one of my favorite all-time panels so this is VERY AWESOME FOR ME YAYYY YAAAAYYY HAHAHA

LIKE SERIOUSLY LOOK HE GOT FANGS N SHIT AND. OH MY GODD THE SMOKE SLIPPING PAST HIS LIPS IM SO??? THAT'S SO COOL. I LOVE WHEN THEY DO THAT WITH SMOKE AND MONSTROUS FORMS OF CHARACTERS

genuinely i need to draw this asap. pacing issues aside i am obsessed with how sick this is. i love this a LOT

ok ok back to the top bc theres some stuff i wanna touch on from before demon king lloyd got revealed! because...

"master lloyd taught us". "master lloyd taught us". "master lloyd taught us". "master lloyd taught us".

EXCUSE ME WHAT

YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT OFF SCREEN, LLOYD TOOK TIME OUT OF HIS BUSY ASS DAY. TO TEACH THE KIDS HOW TO PLAY SOCCER. AND THEY HAVE PLAYED ENOUGH TO BE FAMILIAR ENOUGH TO PLAY ON THEIR OWN. WHICH MEANS THAT LLOYD . PLAYED SOCCER WITH THEM . AND WE FIND THIS OUT. NOW?? I. GGHH. THATS SO. CUTE. IM GOING TO BITE HIM. THE FUCKER. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME

the fact that they go up to ask him im going to EXPLODE?!?!?

he looks so nonchalant abt it here im cryinf

AND LOOK AT THEM GO THIS IS SO SO SWEET IM VERY GLAD LYRA GOT TO PLAY WITH THEM I LIKE THIS A LOT

this scene, and the beginning scene where the adults were just so casual with her and treating her as a living person with feelings and someone that they can talk to was so so heartwarming i oooghhh my heart

AND THEN THERE HE IS. SMILING IN THE BACK. YOU ASS.

I SEE YOU BEING KIND AND EMPATHETIC AND SELFLESS LLOYD. YOU LOST THE NONCHALANT WAR. YOU CAN'T ESCAPE

christ. i fucking HATE him /j /aff

it is also VERY silly that they're so casual abt. destruction like that HELPPP they got it from someone sob sob, though i imagine since most of the estate consists of people who have done construction it probably isnt that big of a deal when things get destroyed every now n then

and lyra looks so damn happy,,, god im so glad she had a good experience, she really needed one :')

also i completely LOST it when the kid got mad at lyra for not responding with a yes or no HELPPP JESUS CHRIST

again they,,, got it from someone HAHA though honestly i think it tracks. kids can be straightforwardly brutal in their language, especially when they don't really have biases or cares for who they are speaking to. as crazy as this instance looks (LMFAO) i think this fits well with the context of the straightforwardness of children and considering the person who they look up to at the estate. i think it was good for lyra to meet a human child her age who can speak straightforwardly and not skirt past things, if that makes sense? i hope it does!

AND THE DEMON KING TRANSFORMATION i already talked abt it above but i wanna point out this blue system box here

a power outside of the system?!?? what does this mean for the protagonist of the new prequel bk_moon is writing?? is the weather forecasting included in this???

my first assumption right now is that the demon king power is just an in-world power system while everything else (ie the weather forecasting) is external, blue-textbox system. maybe? so lloyd got the demon king power which comes with skills separate from the ones that the system can provide? that would explain why there's no indication of lloyd trying to use the weather forecasting, he probably can't use it,,,? except i dont know why artanis can use it in that case. most likely i am overthinking it LMFAO

semi-related, i am a little confused as to why artanis did this? i guess she really, really trusted him w this power? or maybe her weather forecasting noted that this would be something good to do i have no idea,,, it Does feel a bit sudden i won't lie, i'm not sure how earned this is

also javier and everyone else not reacting that much to the demon king status. SENT ME HAHA "... nothing's changed." LOL

deadpan humor never fails to make me giggle ily javier

also loved the moment where the two of them were bein serious for a sec,,, they've got a job to do they've got people to protect. lloyd will stop fate and javier will be right besides him...

i think showing them at emily's wedding really cements how much they really, REALLY need to fight fate now. the novel events happening is very very bad, but it feels like now that so many people, emily especially, have found THIS much happiness in their lives,,, failing to stop fate will hit even harder. i really like the analogy of a taut bow that the dragon king used when he first described it, bc it's really REALLY showing how much the repercussions will hit if they fail. im praying they succeed,,, please,,, i need a happy ending or i will curl up and turn into an actual shrimp irl.

and now the demons have to build the pantara railroad,,, artanis's expression omfg

she really didn't,,, know,,, she trusted him that much,,,, girl,,,

but it's ok. it'll be a net positive trust! that's how lloyd does things!!! and then soon we'll get the happy ending where we can get the eye of summer and beat up fate and then silly fun times YAYY <- probably copium

some other thoughts of note that i had with a dear mutual (hi sprout :3) about this ep:

we were talking about how the plot seems to be paced right now, and honestly i'm of the opinion that while yes its Technically moving, the way they're ending each ep in this current arc makes it feel like it's going both very slow and very fast, that is to say it feels like it's not moving at all

bc they're like "okay NOW we're gonna do the build project" and it's been like that for several episodes now. pieces are moving but we're going past the point of it all too fast (especially the whole demon king thing. mentioned this before but while cool, doesn't feel as earned simply bc we're both tackling each point and yet blowing past all the points, so it's a lot less satisfying than it should be (despite how awesome it is,,, oh lloyd you give me so much internal conflict </3))

it does make me a lil worried that they're gonna timeskip the hell out of the pantara railroad build. however this episode, although it still has a weird pacing/movement issue, does feel a little bit better than the last two imo, so i have hope that it'll turn out okay, that it'll start heading up! i'm actually really excited to see where they go with this and i'm sure that even if the pacing is still goofy i'll have some kind of fun with it (seriously the panels this ep were wonderful HAHA)

anyway that's all for this week! extremely excited for the next ep,,, ill see yall then,,, lets go pantara railroad arc!!!

I WROTE SOME WOLSTAR YAYYY (idea from this post)

tw: religious trauma, internalised homophobia & mild swearing

But What If

“Moony?”

He lays in the silence for a few seconds, part of him hoping he was heard, part of him wishing the darkness would swallow him whole.

“What is it?,” comes the answer, muffled by the sound of bedsheets ruffling with movement. Remus is now looking at him, face pale in the moonlight. He takes a deep breath.

“What if they're right?”

The werewolf furrows his brows, still half-asleep and confused. For a second, he thinks he might be talking about quidditch, or something related to one of their classes, but he doesn't find anything mildly coherent, so lets Sirius speak.

“Who?”

“The muggles,” he whispers back, letting his gaze wonder anywhere but the other boy's face. Right now, he can't bear to see Remus and talk to him at the same time without completely breaking down. And he doesn't want that. “What if there is someone up there? Not God, just... someone. Something.”

Remus, now aware of what's about to come, sits up on the bed and casts a silencing spell. He still whispers, however, when he asks:

“Does that scare you?”

Sirius closes his eyes, trying to distract himself, like one would from a bleeding wound.

“It shouldn't, shouldn't it?”

Remus forces himself not to give him a lecture, not to tell him about the church convincing its members trough fear and torture, about the inquisitions and persecutions. He figures Sirius already knows everything he needs to know. He's seen the books on his nightstand.

“It's okay to be worried,” he tries. Sirius doesn't buy it.

“Yeah,” he laughs, the volume of his voice rising along with his sarcasm, “especially if you've broken, like, every single fucking rule good people are supposed to follow.”

“But you love breaking rules,” Remus smiles, trying to ease the tension. “It's what you do, you can't be blamed for it.”

“But what if I can? What if these rules actually matter? What if I deserve to be punished?”

That's when Remus realises, he actually believes in what he says. He's not scared it might be true, he really thinks it is, that some day he will have to face everything he's ever done wrong, and deal with the consequences.

“You don't.”

The problem, he recognises, is that even though Sirius is an angel directly descended from heaven, in the mirror of his mind he sees a demon.

“No, you don't,” he insists. “If they are right, I will die and go to hell and you will go to heaven and I won't be able to see you again. They won't even have to torture me, I'll just be left alone on a corner thinking about you, and it will be enough to make me regret everything I've done, to everyone.”

He's crying now. They both are. Each one staring at a different point in the bed curtains, trying to make their breathing sound even.

“Padfoot...” Remus whispers. He wishes he could hug Sirius, but doesn't reach out. He can't.

“I don't want that, Moony,” the long-haired boy says, with a voice as thin as a thread.

“I know,” Remus answers. “It's okay. That's not going to happen, okay?”

He's not sure he believes it now. But he has to. He needs to.

“I'm sorry,” Sirius whispers, voice wet with tears.

“It's fine,” he keeps promising, and finally finds the courage to lay back down, next to Sirius, and pull him into a hug.

“I'm so sorry, Moony...” Remus hears as he buries his face in a sea of black curls, brushing against his cheek to remind him where he is, to make him forget about what could come after this. He is here, they both are. And that's enough for now.

“Me too,” he says. His shoulder is getting wet with the salty tears of a pair of sea-blue eyes, and he thanks whatever God is seeing them for it. He's grateful he can cry now, he can hug and he can worry and he can love. He's glad he's afraid of losing this, because otherwise he may not try as hard, feel it as much as he does now.

And that's good. That's the only good that matters.

“I love you,” Sirius sniffs, holding on to Remus as if he were about to lose him. And maybe he is. Maybe they'll lose each other, but for now they have the chance to fear together. And that's enough for now.

“I love you too.”

[imaginespazzi]

Bestie, now you got me invested in the exes to lovers fic haha, saw some of your responses to another anon so I thought I'd tack on a few more thoughts:

Wow 9 years since they broke up, damn - the angst is really gonna ANGST huh, but also the TENSION after so many years apart oof.

Oh man, I wonder how P felt when she first heard about Azzi having a kid. Like I'm sure she would have been happy for her but also them having a family by that point in their lives is something she must have always dreamed about and aw, my heart already hurts a lil bit for P.

Also, imagine Azzi's daughter knowing who P is immediately when she first sees her and P is completely stumped by it. I feel like either Azzi or more likely Azzi's fam would still have so many pics around where P's in it so I feel like Azzi's kid would already have an inherent familiarity with her. Would be even cuter if P was kinda her favourite player (outside of her mum obvs) - I could also totally see Tim being the instigator of that, like he'd definitely be keeping track of all of P's basketball achievements and watching her games and his granddaughter's just his lil sidekick 😌

Agree with other anon that having them on the Valks would be nice haha, yk life imitating art and whatnot 😉. But also, Mystics would make a lot of sense if Azzi's a single parent, so she's close to her support system BUT Tim and Katie would also definitely be the type to move to wherever Azzi is if that's what she needed so I think GSV still works!

Also, them ending back up on the same team in the W - I'm guessing it's cause one of them gets traded or is a free agent, but then the question is did they choose the team knowing the other is there or was it out of their hands? Hmmm.

Anyway, just some food for thought, hope it helps somewhat (and apologies if it doesn't!)

In other news, what's your assessment of the W season so far? I still haven't fully immersed myself but am trying to keep up! I fear this is just how I am with basketball, even with the NBA, I don't usually pay as much attention until after the All-Star break or the playoffs 😅 I'm glad Indy's staying out of the lottery picks though (and hopefully it stays that way) 🙏

And you work with kids?? Naw love that lil piece of Nivi lore!

-🙋‍♀️

YAYYY I'm glad you're invested 😌

Then tension's gonna be interesting because even though they've been broken up for nearly a decade, they've still had to see each other a fair amount because of the W and there's just a lot of pent up tension that's going to blow up when they're on the same team

Paige definitely did not take the news the best. I haven't quite decided how this child came to be but there are definitely ways to really torture Paige with it if I choose to be sadistic about it...

Azzi's daughter definitely knows Paige, not just of her but she's met her at games before I think and she's basically awe-struck by Paige. I have so many ideas about this relationship like I think I'mma enjoy it the most to write.

I do kinda want them of the Valks cause it would just be so fun and I lowkey want to name Azzi's daughter Stephanie (after Steph) so it would just work out really lovely and then Paige would be the one who moves teams and I think that'll probably have to be a trade because Paige isn't willingly going to torture herself ya know? Which tbf I guess is kinda unrealistic because who the fuck would trade Paige but ya lose some ya win some with logistics 😭

I love my kids on most days but the bad days....oh the less said the better but it's definitely a good curveball for my baby fever lol.

[eerna]

I have bought Heavenly Tyrant! I am on Chapter 5. And I am reporting for yapping duty!

Firstly yay! Qieluo and Zetian are potentially going to get the friendship they deserve in HT! Hopefully! I'm hoping the progress in chapter four will be built upon and we can see Zetian have allies that are women which will build up her character a bit!

Also Can you let Yizhi know I'm okay? Not to worry about me I'll be fine?

Funny he told me to tell you I said the same.

I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEM SO MUCH I AM GOING INSANE.

ANyway back to reading I go I'll pop back with more thoughts as I progress.

YAYYY so glad you're having fun, looking forward to updates!!!! Re female friendship, I feel like the sequel tried a bit too hard to make up for a lack of female friendhips in book 1, so the women introduced sort of merged into one blob of Female Empowerment... Qieluo was who I thought should have developed a natural bond with Zetian, I feel like she was so underutilized in the story and I would have loved to see more of her, but alas :')

[allthesethingswillendsoon]

I loveeee the way you’re capturing their childhood, idk if you even realize how painfully accurate and powerful chapter 4 was 🥲

yayyy i'm so glad people are liking the childhood years, and i'm also quite proud that the angst is angsting as i hoped it would, all about that character development.

[resident-gay-bitch]

🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞🌚🌞

Remus is reading under the large willow tree, out by the Black Lake. The sun is high in the sky, and warm on his skin, making him sweat a little under his robes, but he has no intention of taking them off any time soon; two nights ago was a full moon, and it was bad, fresh scars down his arms that would be noticeable to any passers by.

Sirius suspects Moonys unusual violence was caused by the eclipse, which Remus is sure must be correct. He's just glad Moony had enough wits about him to hurt himself, rather than his pack. Remus isn't sure what he would have done if he had hurt any of them, let alone James.

He looks up from his book, as interesting as it is, but James has always been far more interesting than any word on any page Remus has ever read.

The three of them are mucking about down by the bank, not far enough away that Remus is out of their sights, but far enough away so that they can make noise without giving him a headache.

Sirius has lept onto James' back, using him as a human shield from Peter, who's pelting pebbles at his friends with a laugh for their stupid chides at him. Remus isn't sure how they have so much energy.

He watches as Sirius attempts to climb even higher up James' back, pulling the two of them down onto the ground in a heap, rolling around, and Sirius slips into the water with a horrified scream. James can't stop laughing at him.

Behind his book, Remus laughing too. He emerges from the water drenched and disheveled, and the other two are poking fun at him. He manages to grab onto Peter and haul him into the lake, but James runs away before he can succumb to the cold water too.

He rushes over and sits down beside Remus, his chest heaving as he lays his head on Remus' shoulder, still laughing as he watches the other two splash about and make a ruckus.

"You alright?" Remus asks, watching James rub at his own wrist absentmindedly.

"Hmm?" He peers up at Remus and smiles, wiggling his hand about, "Oh, yes. Just landed on it funny. It will be right by practice in the morning, it's fine."

Remus smiled and reached out, taking James' wrist to soothe, "Still, you're hurt."

"Remus." James chides, "It's nothing. You're the one that's hurt."

"It's nothing." Remus parrots, making the both of them snicker, "I'm used to it, you're a wimp."

"I am not!" James huffs, folding his arms over his chest and slumping back against the tree, "I'm perfectly strong, thank you very much."

"Okay, James. If you insist." Remus says, trying his very best not to smirk as he returns to reading.

Silence lulls over them for a moment before James begins to squirm. He's never been very good at silences, he loves the sound of his own voice. Thankfully, though, Remus also loves the sound of his voice.

"Have you talked to Pete yet?" He whispers, looking around for anyone passing by, but no one's close.

"Not yet." Remus mutters back, flipping the page of his book, even though he's no longer reading the words, "Sirius?"

"Yeah." James nodded, "Talked to him just before... He kinda... figured it out before I could bring it up, actually."

"Right." Remus nodded, eyes fixed on his page, he's never been very good at this emotional stuff. James is far more equipped in this department than himself.

"He's alright with it, Remus." James said with a very kind smile, slipping their hands together, tucked down between them for no one to see, "I knew he would be. It's Sirius, he'll love me for anything I am."

"Yes, but what about me?" He asked back, looking into James' lovely dark brown eyes with desperation.

"Of course he is, love." James chuckled, "He said he's getting sick of our pining. Please let me take you out on a date now?"

Remus worries his lip, "What if Pete's not... What if he's not--"

"Weather he is or isn't, Remus, it isn't going to change anything, really. Is it? I mean, if he has a problem with us being queer he'll still know we're queer. Us going out isn't going to change it."

"I suppose." Remus sighed, "I'll talk to him tonight, then. I'll try."

"That's okay, love." James rested his head on Remus' shoulder again, "So long as you'll let me court you--"

"Merlin, don't say it like that." Remus laughed, "You make me sound like some posh boy."

"I'm a posh boy." James jeered.

"I can't believe I'm going out with a posh boy."

"So we're going out?!" James grinned, his head popping up so he could intently stare into Remus' eyes, "You mean it? You're going to let me take you out?"

"Obviously, James." Remus chuckled, "I can't deny myself forever."

"Thank Merlin. Mum and Dad are gonna be so happy." James said, looking back out at his friends in contempt.

Remus decides it's best not to question that. He had no idea James' parents would be finding out about such a thing so soon, but, well, he supposed it doesn't really matter, if James is so sure about it.

He'd probably let James do whatever he wanted, if it made him happy. And right now, they're both very happy, holding hands as they watch their friends attempt to drown one another in the lake.

And of course, Pete had no issues later in the night. His only protest was that they don't snog or shag anywhere near his bed, which of course is a rule that James desperately wants to break.

Remus has a feeling he's in way over his head with this boy, but honestly, he couldn't be happier.

*Kicks in the doors* You put Jeff Carter and Mike Richards on my dash and let me tell you...thanks! I love them and their love and their tragedy. They played against each other in the OHL, were drafted by the Flyers, played in the AHL during the lockout and won the Calder Cup together. Then they would go on to play and party in Philly, becoming beloved and reviled by the fanbases in turn. They signed massive 12 year deals (which the new CBA prevents anyone from signing more then 8 years) together so that they could play together forever...and then they were both traded. Richards to the Kings and Carter to the Blue Jackets.

Carter's play dropped off so badly with the Blue Jackets that the basically got given to the Kings. And when he arrived, his play and Richards' play picked up. They were inseparable. Winning the Cup together, twice, and handing the Cup off to each other.

And then, the tragedy. The ending. Richards substance abuse issues, buyout (that he's still being paid, I believe), and eventual retirement. Carter becoming a Penguin and retiring as one.

The journalists giving us lines like "Mike likes Jeff but Jeff loves Mike." etc. Tragic yaoi central.

ALSO the Mike Richards trade is what sent Wayne Simmonds to Philly where he would be beloved and is still beloved and now works for the org. And the new front office is working hard to repair relationships with former players to the point that Mike Richards played in the alumni game last season. It was a very big deal.

Anyway, this is like a reader's digest version of the history. You Can't Do That podcast (a very funny Caps podcast that I would recommend) has an episode where they go into the Ballad of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter more in depth. And I am sure other people have other recs. But yeah, here we are. It's 2024 and these old men still have a hold on me.

im learning so many new things. such as their names .and also they played for the FLYE RS... okay... <3 CRAZY finding all this out btw, from the standpoint of someone whos kinda just been following the hockey. a friend described it to me as digging down and finding a whole abandoned civilisation <- i did NOT realise how popular LA was on here in the 2010s... lmao.... like i had an inkling. they do have 2 cups. and people like good teams. right (<- shark s enjoyer) but yeah the whole Epic Yaoi Tragedy was not on my radar at ALL . Im so glad those two old men have a hold on you... yayyy <3

hope im not coming off as like... gawking at zoo animals. i rly do feel a level of kinship with rpf writers ( to me we are siblings) and i'm just very interested in it all on a meta level. plus, the narrative IS super fun without the shipping twist lol i love melodrama and i LOVE tragedy!!! scuttling over to the podcast and good heavens that sure is. 194 episodes. . you wouldn't happen to know which episode it is where they talk about these guys?? also if you have any more recommendations for caps pods pls share!

deep cuts about van puckpocketed: i used to be a dm! i love listening to lore. when players used to bring me lore about their characters i horked that shit up with two spoons <3 what im saying is thank u very much for the morning papers/lore dump!!

[yakuzabrainrotlive]

SO; turns out the reason I've felt like a dying woman for days on end is that I have had bronchitis this whole time! Don't wait for 10 days to see a doctor if your lungs feel funny! ✌🏻😌

Anyway, more gameplay! Finished Saejima's part ^_^

I love how openly and unashamedly Saejima expresses his emotions. It feels like a nice change of pace. I adore stoic characters like Kiryu as well, but this is very refreshing.

I admire Saejima's bravery in how he yelled at those bloodthirsty people and refused to budge under pressure. This is clearly a man who thoroughly sticks to his code of honor, no matter the consequences. He was willing to let the Florist's information that would take him closer to reuniting with Sasai, slip through his fingers, just to stick to his beliefs.

Saejima is honestly climbing the ranks to be one of my top favourite characters - and I feel like I barely know him yet!

Oh, okay. We're doing this now. I'm fine!!! I'm not scared!!! I'm SOOO ready for this!!!

....not. SEND HELP.

Actively chewing on my fingernails in fright like a cartoon character. What I wouldn't give to hear Majima's thoughts right now...

First with Kiryu in Y3 and now this? Majima really loves to flex the sheer amount of manpower his family has, huh?

Okay, I truly do believe that this is to keep the cops away, just funny to me how this is the second time we see the entire family surround the perimeter of a building in a vaguely threatening manner.

Ouch... he does NOT want to have this discussion right now. Or maybe he does, but he's trying to collect himself a bit. Can't get a good read on Majima right now. I really wanna see this chat happen but I also dread it.

Saejima.... what a man. He could have let his rage take over, take Majima's whole "Yeah, I betrayed you" at face value and... idk? I don't think he would have killed him? Then again, they made that promise... but I don't see it.

I love how much emotion Saejima has and shows, but he also has a cool enough head to wanna hear Majima out instead of immediately lashing out.

Majima looks so... peaceful? here. Like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. And it's really no wonder - Saejima decided to hear him out, he still calls him "bro" and they're already kind of joking around.

I can already tell I'm gonna LOVE the dynamic between these two. As long as Saejima doesn't end up in the Side Characters We No Longer Need Void™, that is. But I kind of doubt they're gonna pull that with him.

YAYYY!! I CALLED IT!! Welcome back, Puppy Eyes Detective!! I hope you're as good as I'm expecting! Glad to be able to put a name to the face. I'm eager to see how you fight!

"but some shippers take things too far to the point where they're stalking said couple, obsessing over said couple, feeling like it's a "win" for them if their couple is seen together in public, or rejoicing if either side talks about the other in interviews, etc."

--- I'm so glad you mentioned this b/c this is how I've been feeling lately about Kaustin shippers. They feel the need to mention Kaia all the time in regards to things Austin says during this press tour. Like more than normal. It's actually super annoying. (Even that ET lady trying to mention Kaia in that interview. It was annoying and seemed really awkward for Austin). I think K&A shippers know deep down, something weird is going on and this is their way of coping. Just some kind of weird validation or something.

I'm a fan of Austin and I'm tired of seeing Kaia's name mentioned when it's not necessary. She has nothing to do with his professional life at all. I never had an issue with them as a couple up until recently. I think it's b/c the shippers (and Kaia's PR team) are trying to hard to keep Kaia's name attached to Austin's success. Even when she has nothing to do with Austin's current projects. It feels more forced now than ever, if that makes sense?

Hey Anon! Welcome to my blog. 😊

Girl you hit it right on the mark with this ask!

The constant need to insert Kaia into everything regarding Austin is just annoying, and it's a very huge reason why I hate shipping culture so much in fandoms these days.

*Austin bought flowers?

Shippers: "Omg! Maybe he bought those for Kaia or Kaia's mom!" 🥹

*Austin has the Bikeriders premiere in London?

Shippers: "OMG -- I hope we see Kaia attend his premiere in London!!!"

*Kaia is wearing a new ring on her finger? (like MOST celebrities do on the red carpet btw 😒)

Shippers: "Omg omg omg!!! I'm freaking out! Maybe they're secretly engaged!"

*Kaia has her hand on her tummy while wearing a dress?

Shippers: "Is that - is that a baby bump we see??" 🥹

*Austin mentions "his dog Milo" in a red carpet interview?

Shippers: "Yayyy we won! We won! We won!" 😁

It's just all so stupid to me. 🙄

I agree with you too. Part of the reason why I (and perhaps maybe other fans) don't really like the idea of Austin and Kaia being together is because she and her family seem to reek of opportunism.

There is something about their relationship that doesn't seem entirely genuine to some people. Perhaps maybe this is why some people don't like them together?

A lot of shippers tend to claim that we as non-shippers are just "jealous fangirls" who don't want to see Austin with anybody, and that's simply not true!

A lot of us do want to see Austin in a loving, genuine, real, and fulfilling relationship again, where he (at the very least) looks as happy as he looked with his ex girlfriend Vanessa, or, even with his friend/fling Lily Rose.

We would love to see him with a mature, talented, kind, and lovely woman who is truly his ever after love of his life, who he truly genuinely looks happy with and is like his best friend. 🥰

Many of us want him to be with a woman who didn't grow up in privilege her whole life, and who doesn't seem to be just using dating him as a way to leverage and further her own acting career. She knows that even if they don't flaunt their relationship, just the very fact that her name is attached to his through a romantic relationship, she will, by extention, get plenty of free press and attention.

It just all seems a little fake sometimes to me. A lot of these Hollywood romances seem a little fabricated tbh.

I have finally purchased the Dragon Double Feature (and then immediately after the Dragon Double Feature 2)!

It is in fact the first time I purchased porn, because every time before I kept procrastinating it into infinity. You are very right that they way you have it set up is very convenient. I recall you wondering if you should make bundles with all the works in a series, and I think it would be very convenient.

I read the Eveline and Gundrid one so far and I love both of them so much. Especially Gundrid and the contrast of how he is depicted in the first and second part. He is so hory and stupid (meant in a positive way) and delightful. His human design is perfect. Having characters live through a fantasy kink scenario and then navigate further ones with very realistic vulnerability was an excellent read. (I also love the father's face amulet joke)

yayyy i'm glad you like it. i def plan to make a bundle for those together soon, i just don't want to do them all at once (you would also not believe how much time it takes to Make a bundle since i have to rewrite a bunch of the sales copy and design the page and etc etc. got so much Stuff to do this coming week)

gundrid is a really fun character. he was never Intended to get fleshed out beyond his appearance in book 1, because there was never supposed to be a book 2, but it was nice taking this big scary Guy Who Did That and go "okay so how does he act when he's not doing That" and that's how we got theater kid puppy wife guy

i hope you like kenta and wakatake's story too!

Butler's Halloween / Chapter 13 - Party Day

Prev | All | Next

And then, on the day of the costume party...

Maybe thanks to Lamli and the others for advertising in the city over the past few days, a surprisingly large number of people showed up for the party at the mansion. 

Visitors: (Chatter, chatter...)

Muu: "Wow~! Look at that, my lord! So many people here. The mansion's yard looks just like the city! I bet today's party will be a big success!"

> "I hope so…"

Muu: "Eh? What's wrong?"

There were indeed a lot of people at the venue, but… I couldn't help but notice that all of their expressions still seem somewhat stiff.

> "They seem to be nervous"

Muu: "N-now that you mention it… I suppose that's true. Are they scared because they are at the devil butler's mansion? Oh but.... People who come here typically have little prejudice against devil butlers… So why would they…"

Berrien: "Fufu. Don't worry, Muu."

Muu: "Oh, Mr. Berrien…"

Berrien: "Please rest assured. The reason they are nervous is something else entirely."

> "What might that be?"

Berrien: "Yes, that is…"

Visitor: "Uuh… I-Is it really acceptable for regular folks like us to attend…?"

Visitor: "I-I told you it's fine! The mansion folks advertised that 'everyone is welcome'. Plus, if we miss this chance... When will we commoners have such an opportunity again…"

Visitor: "Y-you're right… But still, what an impressive mansion…"

Muu: "I see… They are just not used to this kind of party, are they?"

Berrien: "Indeed, they are not. We live in a mansion, so we might overlook it, but… A mansion party is an unfamiliar concept for the residents of Espoir. So, their nervousness is understandable."

> "I understand why they might feel confused...."

Berrien: "Fufu. That's right.

Even my lord was perplexed when they first came to the mansion."

> "Yes, I was"

Muu: "But… Then what should we do? I feel like the party won't be fun if they remain on edge…"

Berrien: "Don't worry, Muu. The butlers are well aware of that. Now, please look over there."

Bastien: "Welcome dear guest, to Devil's Palace Horror Night."

Visitor: "H-he-hello! I-I am sorry to bother you! Erm… I'm not used to this kind of party, so…"

Bastien: "Don't worry. There's no need to be so stiff. Today's party isn't that formal. There will be modest drinks and food… We've also prepared some entertainment. Please feel at ease and enjoy yourselves."

Visitor: "I-I see. I am so relieved to hear that…"

Lucas: "Yup, yup ♪ Good job, Bastien. It's crucial to empathize and ease their nerves."

Bastien: "Yeah… Thank you, Mr. Lucas. Thanks to your guidance, I feel a little more confident in my hospitality skills."

Lucas: "No, no. It's the result of your perseverance, Bastien ♪"

Children: "Ah! It's Prof. Miyaji! Prof. Miyaji~!! Good evening~!"

Miyaji: "Good evening, everyone. I'm glad you came."

Children: "Prof~! Why are you dressed like that?"

Miyaji: "Oh, this is a vampire costume. Tonight, I'm a vampire bartender. Thirsty for some cranberry juice?"

Children: "Yes~!"

Lono: "Hey guys! We have prepared a lot of delicious sweets for you. Pumpkin scones, Mont Blanc.... All free for the kids! Help yourselves!"

Children: "Yayyy! Thank you, big brother!"

Nac: "Fufufu.... If you enjoy them, please consider telling your parents. We make a lot of sweets. We would be very happy if they could buy some as souvenirs."

Children: "Yes! I will ask my father for some!"

Fennesz: "I-I see… I see what you mean. So, you're giving them away for free to children and asking their parents to buy them. Initially, I wondered why we were giving them away for free… now that I think about it…"

Nac: "Fufu. Exactly. It is like the saying, 'If you want to shoot the general, shoot the horse first.' According to my calculations, this method should also be profitable."

Miyaji: "Hmm… It's great that the kids are happy, but don't eat too many sweets, everyone. And don't go off on a spending spree."

Haures: "Please don't cry, dear guest... I understand. Witnessing your mom and dad argue in front of you is tough."

Little girl: "Sobs... Y-yes… I don't know what to do... What if my mom and dad separate…"

Haures: "Oh no… Don't dwell on negative thoughts. As long as there is a wonderful young lady like you, they won't split. Everything will be alright.  So, wipe your tears... Here, please use this handkerchief, dear guest."

Boschi: "Hey, Haures…"

Haures: "Oh, Boschi. Sorry…  We are a little short on attendants, but I just can't let go of this matter…"

Boschi: "I get it when I see it. Here, take this…"

Haures: "Huh? This is…"

Boschi: "Orange juice. Offer it to the girl. Don't worry about attending to guests, I'll take over."

Haures: "Okay… Thanks, Boschi."

Boschi: "Hm. You owe me one."

Berrien: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for joining us at Devil's Palace Horror Night. Now, our butlers will perform a dance on the special stage in the venue's center. 

They've prepared a new choreography for tonight's show. Please give them a warm welcome. 

Well then... Lato, Lamli, Ammon, and Flure, it's your turn."

Tap, tap, tap…

Lamli: "Yay! Good evening, everyone~ ♪"

Lato: "Oh, well...? I cannot hear your reply."

Ammon: "Get excited, everyone! Good evening~ ♪"

Flure: "W-wait! Such taunting wasn't in our plan, was it…!?"

Ammon: "Hehe. It's impossible to ask us not to improvise!"

Lamli: "Yes, yes ♪ We have to sync with the audience on stage ♪"

Lato: "Kufufu. We will follow the choreography, so please do not worry."

Flure: "Uuh… I-I'm worried…"

Muu: "Fufu. The whole venue is becoming more and more lively!"

> "Thanks to all the butlers, right?"

Muu: "Yes! Let's enjoy the party too!"

After that, the stage dance performance greatly heightened the excitement... And so, 'Devil's Palace Horror Night' came to a close as a great success.

reading the entirety of both exchange policy and exposure response (so far) was what kept me sane during the six hour trip to a family reunion that i Do Not want to be at, so thanks!

they had me cackling the whole time, you did such a good job balancing the comedy and incredible story, just like the actual show did! and the characterization is so amazingly spot-on, i'm actually being so autistic about it /pos (like genuinely, i did my happy/excited stimming several times while reading and i had to force myself to Chill so my family didn't notice)

i love shou's mom So Much, your version of her is my favoritist version EVER, she feels so real!!!

and ritsu. RITSU!!!! GAH he's my favorite character and HDBSBANANDJSJJDJFOSKAKXNSKALLAFJJDNSSHSHJSJSISISISKJFJDJWIWIWIWIIWJWJSJWJDJDJDBBDHSBSBBWHWHSHDHJWIWIQIFIIEIWIWISJDHHDHSJS i can't even put it into WORDS i love how you write him, he's so OCD and Deranged and so so kind but also a little shit and most of all Very Gay (but can't seem to figure that last part out) i love it ALL i am going to SCREAM

shou has me giggling so hard but i almost feel bad for him atp, lil bro could grab ritsu by the shoulders, look him in the eyes, and shout "I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, GO OUT WITH ME" and ritsu would be like "what do you mean by that tho"

but the entirety of shou's characterization has me YIPPIEing really loud, you write him so well!! also, is his tendency to put his feet up on reigen's things a reference to the stage play? i remember him doing that lmao

i could scream in here for hours because SERIOUSLY I LOVED EVERYTHING AND I'M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER, but i won't because it's 12AM and i will never Shut Up

since i'm gonna be stuck at this reunion for a few days, i'm totally gonna draw some fanart for exposure response (i'm going to have a lot of time on my hands with the amount of avoiding socialization that i'm going to be doing) and i'll tag you when i do

all in all, amazing fics!! thank you for writing them, you have no idea who i am but i really appreciate you putting the time and effort into your writing and sharing it with us strangers on the internet :3

i'll probably be back in your inbox sometime soon, so see ya then!

thank you so so much for this ask!! i'm honored and overjoyed and just grinning ear to ear right now!!

also YES shou putting his feet up on reigen's furniture was a reference to the stage plays haha. i'm glad somebody caught that!!!

absolutely please tag me in any art you make about this fic, any time people make art for my writing i start doing backflips going YAYYY YIPPEE i'm so grateful

i hope your family reunion is easy to bear! i wish you the best of luck in avoiding socialization lol
