yes requests are open! thank you all for the love and support so far!!!

cw; slightly suggestive! sukuna being sukuna

masterlist.

nanami kento

+ nanami trusts you a lot actually; if he's going to be in a long-term relationship with you, he needs to be able to trust your judgements and decision-making in any trivial or personal matters. i feel like he desires to be able to have open and honest communications with you. it's not because he's extremely insecure either; he tends to be blunt with his actions as we already know. 

+ he's the ultimate silent jealous type. his fingers rap against the table quickly. his eye twitches a little. he straightens his posture. he doesn't want to go in guns blazing because you haven't showed any signs of discomfort yet. he keeps yelling at himself to trust you but OH MY GOD he CANNOT STAND the fact that someone else is standing inches away from you. you seemed to be leaning further back, and that was his last straw.

+ a familiar hand settles around your waist. you hadn't realized that your shoulders tensed up for so long until you felt your boyfriend's half embrace around you. the slight panic slowly dispersed when you  when you whiffed the addictive scent coming from the figure next to you. nanami grazed his lips lightly against your ear as he asked, 'want me to show you around? just you and me, of course.

+ now the situation has different ways to end up in - either the person he subtly glared at understands the context and backs up before they get questioned, or this person tries to gain your attention once again, which might result in his blood boiling further.

+ he's more than willing to vouch for you if you feel a little insecure at that moment. probably something along the lines of, 'i think we're done here.' i can also see a scenario where he makes sure you're away from the person, and then he puts them in their place. 'i'm letting you off this time. but do anything to my partner and this would not be the last time we'd meet.'

+ but say if you tell the person to back off, his heart is doing loop de loops. he is on the floor. on his knees. melting into a marshmallow as we speak. he's so in love with you.

+ 'were you jealous, 'nami?' 'oh i just happened to catch them messing with you.' try as much as you can and he will never admit it <3

gojo satoru

+ where do i even begin with this man.

+ being with gojo already means dealing with his fame frequently, and having him as your boyfriend is - you can say - pretty challenging. though he ensures you don't have to feel the pressure he undergoes too. he wants you to understand that he did end up being with you for so many reasons. 

+ you feel like home to him. sure he's been around, trying to find someone he could date, but to have ended up with you made him feel content. when he's around you, he does not have to put up any kind of facade to make you happy. he doesn't have to use his abilities in front of you, he doesn't feel like he's being used as a weapon either. 'only you've seen the weakest parts of the strongest jujutsu sorcerer,' he has claimed once. having all of that said, this man does NOT shut up about you. he talks about you to anyone he can find. his students 100% have heard so many stories about you already, trust me.

+ gojo is. the cocky (?) kind of jealous. THIS man would go in guns blazing, either bluntly or indirectly, no in between. he executes it perfectly too; so that you wouldn't be annoyed LMAO

+ LITERALLY anyone can make him feel like his guts are churning. when you're cuddling animals and he's praying he could be cuddled the same way too (he loves being small spoon). kids huddle around you and he wishes he could be a kid all over again. his mouth is foaming with envy. gojo is feral. the first time you've seen him spring into action was when this person cannot leave you alone for a goddamn second. they kept trying to grab your hand, which you couldn't tolerate.

+ without any warning, gojo just swoops in between you two, kissing you long and hard. 'ravishing as ever, my love,' he chuckled, pulling away. 'is that my favorite flavor?' he asked, pressing his lips together.

+ 'mm. it is. now, where were we...?' he whips his head to face the person bothering you earlier. he MAKES SURE he has his arms around you before saying, 'should i introduce you to my partner? oh. hate to break it to ya, but they're taken. try again, buddy.'

+ enjoys it if you ever did the same with anyone who's trying to hit on him too. would definitely make out with you after (/▽＼)

ryomen sukuna

+ extremely, aggressively, would kill someone for you type of jealous. sukuna is not afraid to admit that to you, or anyone around him. he finds it fun too - having you all to himself and no one else.  the possessiveness and power he holds is undefeatable. yuuji just wonders how did he manage to get you at this point -

+ this type of behavior probably originates from the time where he had a lover, but they were taken away from him too soon. fearing for the worst, he's gonna do everything he can to keep you safe. i feel like despite you reassuring him nothing of that sort would happen, he will continue to do what he knows is right - protecting you. he loves aggressively. that's how he has always seen it. in his dreams he's sitting on his throne, cradling you, keeping you close to his chest. a solemn oath to not let anyone take him away from you.

+ before he had learnt (from you) to trust you more, there was a time where he realized how annoyingly close a sorcerer was to you. surely you didn't plan on cheating on him with someone like that, right? 

+ with the rage fueling up within him, he was practically teleporting to where the two of you were standing. seconds before he was about to rip the person's head away from their body, you screamed, grabbing his hand. 'what do you think you're doing?!!'

+ 'what? i'm not gonna let some whiny punk take you. you really think i'm not up to your standards?' he looked over to the person in his clutches. 'you have some nerve, thinking you're better than me.' huffing, you exclaimed, 'sukuna. they meant no harm, and i already told them off. before things here get ugly, let them go NOW.' 

+ you think this man felt guilty? no. dropping the person on the ground, he walked up to you. 'they tried to reel you in, didn't they? you really think i'm gonna shut up about that?! what happened to-,'

+ 'god, LISTEN! yes they were. what do you think i told them, sukuna?' your hands landed on his chest, pushing him away. 'oh,' he first said, followed by a longer 'ohhhh'. smirking, he inched closer to you. you could feel his nails digging through your fabric and you could've sworn they left holes (to which he didn't, he just loved holding you tight). 'told 'em i was yours, huh.'

+ '....don't you dare try and chop heads off just because they were trying to ask me out. i'm not that naive,' you looked away. of course this man knows when to make you feel all giddy when you didn't need to. 'you hear me, ryomen sukuna?'

ᴅʀᴜɴᴋ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜ ♡˚₊。。。

❧❤ SYNOPSIS: you “accidentally” drink too much, your boyfriend comes to the rescue... ♡ Pairings/Love interest: So Mun x GN!reader ♡ Genre: fluff, reader is also a counter ♡ TW: mentions of alcohol, slight cursing ♡ Word count: 1.6k

Note: All characters originated from “The Uncanny Counter/Amazing Rumor” except for Y/n.

English is not my first language!!! Sorry in advance if I make any grammar and vocabulary mistakes.

You had no idea how this happened. It was supposed to be a silly (stupid) decision to try all the soju flavors you could find in your local store and see which one tastes the best.

And here you were, passing out cold on your table for god knows how long and looking like you were in the middle of some demonic ritual, except replacing candles with a bunch of half-done bottles of soju. 

Reaching out for your phone, your vision was blurry and your head was spinning from consuming too much alcohol, but you still managed to comprehend whatever appeared on the screen. More than 10 missed calls from Ms. Chu, several from Hana and Motak, and even a few from your new teammate Jeokbong, all bombarding your poor phone with continuous notifications of unanswered calls and texts. 

And the most impressive number was 22 missed calls from So Mun.

Holy shit.

What the fork happened while you were blacked out? Why did everyone blow your phone up? Once again, you had no idea. 

You took a quick glance at some of the texts from Hana, it turned out that the team was alerted by a level 2 evil spirit, but you were nowhere in sight or in contact. 

Cursing quietly under your breath for recklessly giving in to your impulsive decision, you held your pounding head with one hand, wincing in discomfort as you tried to get up from your seat. 

Your legs trembled from the horrendous migraine. You could barely walk, the ground seemed to sink and dig a hole underneath your foot every time you took a step, yet you were still confident enough to think you would make it to Eonni’s noodle in this half-drunk condition. 

You placed your other hand on the wall, trying to support your now-useless legs while you struggled to reach your front door. The hallway in your house has never been this long before, it was almost like you were walking on a treadmill while being hung upside down. 

Yet, things couldn’t even get worse. You, for some reason, tripped on pure air, staggering on your feet and ready to descend. 

You couldn’t hear your front door making a click sound as it flung open, but you for sure noticed that the ground wasn’t as hard as it looked, perhaps it wasn’t the ground. A familiar scent filled your nostrils, your eyes shut tight and you dropped into a familiar warmth. Even the way that pair of arms instantly wrapped around your figure was also too familiar. 

Your ears ring with the sound of silent nonsense, humming like different noises blending together chaotically after the sudden fall. But you were quick to come back to your senses again upon hearing the voice you secretly would be dying to hear every day. 

“Y/n! Hey, Y/n, are you alright?!”

Instead of answering, you clung onto him like a koala on a tree and pressed your face against his chest, taking in his pleasant scent to ease up the nose-aching smell of alcohol flowing in your living room. 

Your boyfriend hugged you back just as tightly. His chest rose and fell urgently against yours, even the sound of his heartbeat was so loud that it was as if he just ran a whole mile, which he pretty much did: “Y/n… you scared me to death, you know that?”

Your voice was muffled against his skin, murmuring exhaustedly: “Sorry, I was…um, sleeping.”

So Mun let out a sigh, both relieved and somewhat frustrated. But you both knew very well that he could never stay mad at you for so long. He gently pulled you out of his chest to look you in the eye, which you weakly protested and glued yourself back into his arms: “Did you drink?”

Knowing there were no other excuses you could make, you didn’t have a choice but to nod your head in confirmation, making him sigh again with concern shown clearly in his voice: “Why? You were never one to black out drunk before, did something happen?”

You had to explain to him, in detail, the real reason so he wouldn’t get so worried, hiccupping between your breaths as you talked. You noticed So Mun’s eyebrows raised slightly the more you spoke, seeming to be very amused at you while he pinches your nose gently, helping you hold your breath to stop the hiccup and trying to suppress his smile.

After you were done talking and hiccupping, he cupped your cheeks and lifted your face up, examining your face to see if you were truthfully doing fine and if there was no uncomfortable secret you hid from him. Then, he planted a peck on your lips, not caring if the taste of fruit-flavored soju started lingering on his lips as well: “Are you able to walk?”

You nodded lightheartedly, trying to stand up although your legs didn’t even waste a second to betray you again. 

He chuckled, running his hand on your flushed cheek to feel how your temperature had raised under the influence of alcohol, his eyes softly and attentively at yours before he turned around to face you with his back: “C’mon, everyone is waiting for us.”

If your face wasn’t already reddened, his action right now definitely made an impact on making your skin bloom with heat. You climbed onto his back, grinning quietly as you made sure to wrap your arms around his neck firmly. His strong body picked you up with zero effort, handling you with so much care like you’re his most precious treasure. 

You could only realize how worn out you were when you finally relaxed against his back, letting him escort you out of your house with one of his hands holding your shoes. 

His hair tickled your skin when you buried your face in his nape. You couldn’t help but want to mess with him a bit despite how shitty your body was feeling at the moment: “Dear, I think I want to puke.”

So Mun’s footsteps stopped in their tracks at the announcement, not knowing whether he should laugh or panic. His head tilted to your face slightly even when he couldn’t really see how hard you were trying to hold your giggle: “As much as I love you, don’t you dare throw up on me, Y/n-ah.”

You burst out laughing. However, you soon toned down since your throat and stomach were honestly acting up lightly from the burning of liquor: “Just kidding, you’re too good-looking for me to do such a thing.”

��Oh, you little...”

“I know, I know. I love you too, So Munie.”

He smiles, his ears turning pink at your remarks, squeezing his hold on your thighs affectionately: “I love you too, sweetheart.”

The night breeze sighed through your hair, supplying a fresh source of air to your aching lungs. You can’t help but wish you could stay like this forever, on his back and savoring his warmth. 

“So… you basically freaked everyone out just because of those flavored sojus?”

Despite So Mun’s words sounding somewhat like he was investigating you, his tone felt more nonchalant and playful, obviously he was only intending to annoy you. This made you roll your eyes, though you actually felt a wave of guilt for accidentally scaring your entire fam shitless:

“At least I came to the conclusion that peach is the best, and green grape is overrated.”

“Yeah yeah, and prepare yourself for what comes next. Ms. Chu and Hana-noona are probably holding spatulas waiting for you to be back.”

You whined quietly, your throat still burning fairly and your head sore just from the image of getting scolded by the mommies of the group: “As my amazing and caring boyfriend, I think you should help me out of that.”

“Maybe you deserve to be taught a lesson.” So Mun chuckles. From this angle, you couldn’t see that there was a glint blazing in his dark chocolate irises, his voice softening almost as tender as a whisper, so hazy that you nearly mistaken his voice for a whistle of the night wind:

“All jokes aside, you really did scare me so bad, baby.”

It’s only logical that they were freaking out when you suddenly disappeared, especially in the middle of chaos where things escalated badly not long ago—they’ve come face-to-face with one of the evil spirits who wiped out the entire Chinese counter team. Hearing nothing from you at such wrong-timing times only drove them to assume the worst.

“I can’t even stand the mere thought of something happening to you… You’re gonna give me a heart attack one day if you keep this up.”

Hearing this made you secretly go in awe. You nuzzled your face into his hair, feeling his soft curls scratch against your skin. Your arms tightened around his neck as you whispered: “I’m sorry… this will never happen again, I promise.”

So Mun nuzzled his head back against your face in returning to your loving gesture, lifting you up slightly so that you were even more pressed against him: “It’s alright, as long as you’re okay, that’s all that matters."

He sent you one of his signature soft smiles, one that almost always beamed on his face whenever he caught a glimpse of you. While he carried you through the night, the streetlights on top of your heads glowing like stars: “The next time you plan on drinking, at least call me over so we can pass out drunk together.”

“And then get smacked on the head by the adults, hooray.”

“We’re also adults, Y/n…”

[always-together]

Hello once again! Still have a few asks on my Spamton blog to answer, but those can wait til tomorrow. Until then, all threads have been replied too!! I’m sorry for the long wait while my life briefly descended into chaos, but things seem like they’ll be alright for now until college goes back later this month. So I’ll try to be here often til then!

Speaking of which, here’s the new muse thingie/explanation I promised:

So, I went to see Deadpool and Wolverine with my dad several days ago (it’s our tradition to see MCU movies together). He’d seen the first two Deadpool movies, I went in complete blind. My only knowledge of Deadpool was from probably the worse things to get a first impression of him from (his solo video game and digital pinball table), so I assumed this would be a dumb movie with no stakes and constant fourth wall jokes.

Although there were several fourth wall jokes (quite a few of which had me wheezing lol), I wasn’t prepared for how…surprisingly deep Wade/Deadpool is as a character? Don’t get me wrong, he’s crass and wisecracking and almost never shuts up, but there’s also the fact that he seems to genuinely care underneath it all. He seems to have a good heart that just gets twisted up due to the shit that’s happened to him. The fact that the plot is instigated by him refusing to watch his universe die kinda jolted me, and I’ve gone from hating to appreciating-even kinda genuinely liking-the character in the span of a few days.

I binged the first two movies totally legally today while escaping the heat. And uh…long story short, I think I really like Movie/MCU!Deadpool. And I’d like to try writing him. The problem comes from how crass and non-PG13 he is, he pretty much goes against every single character I’ve written so far. I’m at a crossroads with how I should go about this: I want to do him justice (to a point), but don’t want stuff clashing if that makes sense.

I want to write a Movie!Deadpool who knows some lady is writing him and is in it as much for the hijinks as he is to make new friends that he hopes convince him to stay alive and stay grounded. Friends who help him simultaneously be less depressed and provide an outlet for him to joke around, referencing their FCs and Muns on occasion. Nothing incredibly crass on the level of the new movie would be said (I have a line lol), I promise he would behave. Mostly. There will be no smut, per usual, although sex-related topics might come up.

So…unable to settle this conundrum by myself, I turn things over to a poll for you guys to vote on. Help me out if you can, before the brainrot takes over and I do something weird I regret 😅

Dean Winchester

“I’m Dean Winchester, I’m an Aquarius, like long walks on the beach and frisky women. Me and my brother Sammy hunt the things that go bump in the night, yeah that’s right we’re hunters. Family business and all. There isn’t anything I won’t do to protect my brother, even if it means sacrificing myself. My car Baby is the best Sammy and I  have a lot of memories in it and it's been in some tough situations but it’s always dependable unlike most people, oh and I love pie and classic rock. Remember driver picks the music, shotgun shuts their cake hole. So if you think you have a ghost problem or maybe some ghoul stuff give me a call”

Lloyd Hansen

“Hello Sunshine! I don’t know why I need to say anything about myself. I should be pretty well known by now, but sure let me tell you about my favorite subject…me. I used to work for the CIA but then I decided why not freelance and be my own boss, which means my own rules. I’m sure everyone wants to know why I left the CIA, well it’s simple. I like doing things in lets say non ethical, non legal ways and that ruffled some feathers I guess, too bad for them I guess. Sent me to do a job to get some flash drive and had the biggest thorn in my ass….Court Gentry, dickhead messed up my hand and well that was my torture and shooting hand. Need something dealt with Sunshine you know how to find me”

Ransom Drysdale

“I don’t like you and I can guarantee you won’t like me,but you’ll probably love my money, well my family's money. I’ve been called many names, some of my favorite Trust Fund prick, asshole, jerk and many more, but what’s funny is everyone once you find out you have money everyone has their grubby hands out. I’m probably the most interesting, fascinating person you will ever meet and I will make your dull little life exciting. The only person I care about is me, myself and I, and when I found out my grandfather was cutting me out of his will, well I couldn’t let that happen could I did what I had too. And what was that you ask, you didn’t ask? Well too bad I’m telling you anyway, nothing short of murder (twice, wow I know) and I tried to frame the help. Just a normal day when you have money, so if I’m bored I might want to talk depends on my mood.

Rebecca Allen

Rebecca Allen was a woman with a bright future, that all changed the day she became Pandora Celestia. The day was ordinary until it wasn’t, the explosion should have killed her but instead it turned her into something more. As she lay close to death the terrigen mist enveloped her,keeping death away and giving her powers beyond her knowledge. Visions, terrible and horrible, are always destined to come true. She was able to peer inside of people’s minds and sway them to her will, and after enough practice could hone her powers into a physical weapon.

And thus Pandora Celestia was born, the powers she wielded terrified her and every time she feared she would lose control and either she would be destroyed or the power would over take her. Eventually she learned to hide her powers hoping that one day she could learn to control them and use them for good. Trying to help those she can, she's always vigilant to not over use her powers but to do everything she can to help anyone who needs it.

Cassandra Pendragon “Cassie”

Age: 200+ (long life from powerful witchcraft and being a shifter)

Cassandra Pendragon or Cassie as was called by friends, came from a long line of witches going all the way back to King Authur. She was rather proud of that aspect of her family tree, it gave her some credibility in case her skills were ever questioned. And it wasn’t often that her skills were questioned, but mistakes could be made. Speaking of mistakes, the other half of her family was what most people in the witch/magic community deemed “Undesirable” ; it was always thought that being a shifter made magic weak. Cassie on the other hand found that to not be the case, in fact she felt her magic was stronger for it. When she shifted her magic complimented her form, she became what she called a mystic wolf.

Abilities: Powerful spells and hexes, the ability to turn into a wolf or cat

Once witches and shifters alike found out about her she was shunned by both groups, witches feared the amount of power she had, and shifters didn’t normally trust witches so this made them even more wary. After taking various odd jobs, one went south and a witch and shifter were killed.Cassie received the blame and was hunted, always on the run she did what she had to in order to survive. She wasn’t against killing but it was only done if there was no other option. While on the run she realized she could turn into a simple house cat. Being a house cat was great to gather information and hide. Deciding she needs to set her name right she sets out to find the real killers so she can go back to her “normal life”

Ophelia Deathholme

Age: 40

Abilities: Can resurrect the dead, can communicate with the dead and has the abilities of the dead she encounters.

(dividers made by @saradika-graphics) (art from Pinterest)

Necromancy the practice of communicating with the dead in order to predict the future, that was at least the actual definition of the word.To Ophelia Deathholme it was more than just the plot to a book or movie it was part of her job, she used her talents to raise the dead working as a coroner for the police. The dead needed a voice, someone to get them justice, to help their families move on, to help the departed to move on. Initially she was met with skepticism. People thought she was taking advantage of the families by giving them “false” hope, that changed when she brought back a young woman who had been brutally murdered.

The family and officers were in the room and Ophelia kept trying to tell them all that her story wasn’t over, after being told numerous times to just do her job she took matters into her own hands. Normally the bigger the sacrifice the bigger the return, since all Ophelia needed was the young woman to speak she just used a small amount of her own blood. Speaking the words she knew too well the young woman sat up staring at Ophelia, the family was shocked and one of the cops passed out. Ophelia looked at the woman, her voice soft “Who killed you?” The young woman swallowed hard and paused as if trying to figure out the answer. 

Everyone watched as the woman began to point, suddenly the lights went out and movement could be heard. Suddenly screaming broke out, then nothing, Ophelia backed up until she was touching the dead woman. She felt a whisper in her ear “He will find you little necromancy he wants your power by any means necessary.” Swallowing hard Ophelia the lights turned on and she was shocked at what she saw, everyone in the room was dead and arranged to spell her first name.

The young woman looks at her family sadly before turning back to Ophelia “He has been watching you, watching your power grow until the time is right. He will come for you and try and tempt you, do not allow him to. He will destroy the world and you will be his tool” The young woman coughs hard and smiles “Thank you for giving me justice, my father killed me in a fit of anger and now I can rest” The young woman motions Ophelia to move closer “We the dead wish to help you, we shall lend you our gifts for you will need them.” The air changes and Ophelia gasps as she feels power flowing into her, falling to the floor she passes out.

Waking hours later she feels strangely refreshed,standing she cries out in pain. Finally standing she makes her way to a sink and looks in the mirror at a large jagged wound across her face.

“Great just great” “I recommend cleansing the wound and then applying butterfly bandages to the wound” Looking Ophelia sees a young nurse, quickly realizing that she was a ghost. The ghost smiles and bows and walks over to Ophelia and walks into her, her eyes roll back into her head as she begins taking care of her wounds. Once finished the ghost leaves Ophelia’s body and bows again before leaving, gasping as she sits on the floor, realizing that now not only can she raise the dead  but they can use their skills to help her. Realizing she has this power she uses it to still help the dead but now must figure out who has been watching her and why.

hello, dears! thank you to everyone in our dms for your patience with us the last few months! we're posting this long-awaited update to inform you that due to the issues we have consistently had with tumblr, we will be password protecting our future blog in about a week for two months time, after which we will begin again! this blog is our main blog, so it will remain here unharmed until we're ready to use it once more! for those who may be unaware, either due to our tumblr messages not passing, or for the inconsistency of our replies to private asks, tumblr has been causing various problems for krp blogs both new and old since mid-october of last year. for us, starting around december, this has included things like dms glitching so that entire conversations go missing at random intervals ( only to magically reappear weeks later before disappearing again ), various coding issues with tumblr not allowing us to transfer blogs for posterity, posts getting eaten and queues saving only to disappear when we log out. in the recent months this has escalated to one admin being unable to see anything on our dash, to the point where tumblr will not save their visit to the account in their data.

we originally thought this was because of the flooding, power outage issues, and general internet instability in our area, but we have seen reports of other admins having similar and worse issues, though none to our degree with a blog still standing. whether we are all encountering such issues due to reporting claims or tumblr's rule changes, these issues have interfered greatly in our conversations with our members across all platforms for months and has halted our revamp as we have focused efforts on troubleshooting instead of updating in our spare time.

in the interest of not getting our tumblr blog taken down we will converse with tumblr support about the issues we have been experiencing! we have been in contact with them intermittently so far with good results, so rest assured, we are not shutting rupes down! our aff will still remain up and we will accept dms regarding any questions about this decision there!

we've gone through two volumes of rupesnigra since 2020, and each has brought the most illuminating muns and stories to our footsteps. we love the safe haven we have built here, and are always amazed when it manages to withstand the trials of the world and krp. we hope to finalize our revamp to bring you all a third volume safely, soon!

to those seeking to join rupesnigra, consider our home yours already! please wait for us to dust the furniture, brighten the rooms, plump the pillows, and make this space all the more welcoming for you. we will have jasmine tea, and many stories, and little strawberry cookies waiting for you when you finally come home ♡

have a happy spring, lovely creatures! write many things, so that you can show us everything when you return (or grace us for the first time)! :)

all our love, — k&&d.

She opens her eyes slowly. She hears beeping sounds and other things. She begins to yawn a little. Ugh. Her head. What happened? Is she in a hospital? “Ugh....”

“Ink! You’re awake.” 

She heard the familiar sound of Ophelia. 

“Ophelia. Is that you?” Ink looks to see Ophelia and another familiar face. Akiko Yasno. The doctor of the ADA. “Dr. Akiko!” 

“Nice to see you awake, Ink.” Akiko said. “You got everyone scared for a moment.” 

“I did?” Ink asked then she tries to remember. She widen her eyes. “Wait...where’s everyone. Is everyone okay? How are they-” But Dr. Akiko raised her hand up making Ink stop talking for a moment. “Everyone is fine. Not only that, we apprehend the ones responsible. So rest easy.” Akiko smiled to which Ophelia nods. 

“Oh...” Ink relaxes a little. “That’s good to know.” 

“That said...we need you rest a little longer before getting any visitors. Your friends and everyone else wants to visit you.” Said Akiko. Ink nods. “Got it. Will do.” 

----- Hospital Rooftop Patio------

A few days after the airport and the mansion assault, the two main villains responded for the party attack were now in jail and will be in trail for next month. Right now, the boys were now calmed and slowly becoming themselves once again. But then they got a text from Fosh.

The boys gathered together on a table when they are texted by Fosh for a meeting with the two member of the DBT; Shdwkyz and Navarro. The teenage boys are worried. Ren is staying silent while sipping his coffee. Midoriya looks nervous. Atsushi looks worried. Bakugo is tapping on his foot. Rin is crossing his arms and Denji is laying his head on the table, just spacing out. All of them got drinks from the cafe as thanks from Shdwkyz.

“Jeez...can you stop with the tapping?!” Rin said, getting annoyed.

“Shut up. I’m worried about Ink.” Bakugo retorted. 

“Ink is fine. She just woken up.” Atsushi said.

“Can we visit her now?”  Denji asked.

“Not yet. Yosano said she needs to rest more before she get visitors yet.” Atsushi reminded him making the chainsaw hybrid groaned. Midoriya nods. “It makes sense. Ink needs a lot of rest. I heard that Yosano’s quirk can take a lot of someone. I hope she is okay.”

Everyone didn’t say anything. Although...they wonder what the meeting is about.

“Do you think Ink’s friends are mad at us?” Midoriya asked.

“After we fight each other...I’m not sure. Most defnitely.” Atsushi said, he felt embrassed.

“They’re probably shocked as everyone there before the attack.” Ren said.

“Great...I felt like an asshole.” Rin muttered.

“Yeah...I felt like shit.” Said Denji while Bakugo grunts, not going to argue there. But then they heard footsteps coming from the inside. It’s Navarro, Yuuka and Shdwkyz. Now the boys prepared themselves for the talk or whatever it is. Because they heard Navarro is very protective of Ink and probably going to do all the talking. 

But they have no idea that Navarro is now nervous. The boys think he’s pissed which is way far off. Because they have no idea what’s going to happen in the next several minutes.

“How’s everyone doing?” Shdwkyz breaks the ice as Navarro sits down in the center while Yuuka sits at his left while Shdwkyz is standing behind him. 

“Fine.” Atsushi begins.

“Good.” Midoriya said.

“Very well.” Ren answered.

“Hm.” Bakugo said.

“M’fine.” Said Denji.

“I just glad we caught the bastards.” Rin said making the boys agreed. Shdwkyz nods, “Good. As you all know, Ink is awake and she needs time to herself before she sees any visitors. The first thing she asked is about us and she is glad to know that everyone is alright.” Shdwkyz tells them making the boys sigh with relief. “Thanks to you six, we got the people involved in the attack down. So thank you. All fraction leaders prevented a second attack so we can rest easy. But first before we meet Ink...Navarro has something to say to you all.”

Everyone is ready for Navarro. He looks to be fidgeting before moving his mouth.

“I....” Navarro begins.

“Uh...look Navarro. Sorry for interrupting! Before you say anything! We’re really sorry about the party! Me and everyone were talking about it and we’re really sorry for the way we acted.” Said Midoriya speaking for the group. The boys nodded in agreement. But Shdwkyz shakes his head and corrects them while Navarro slumps his shoulders. 

“Actually, Midoriya...you and the other five have no need to apologize. If anything, Navarro is the one who should be apologizing.” Said Shdwkyz. This got the boys confused.

“What do you mean?” Midoriya said. Yuuka looks over to Navarro who is now nervous. Yuuka puts a hand on his shoulder. “Do you want to tell them or me?” She asked. She knew that Navarro is now a nervous wreck. He looks guilty and pissed off for what he did. 

“No...it’s fine, Yuuka. These guys deserve to know. Uh...about the party. It’s all me.” Navarro said it. The boys are now dumbfounded.

“All you? What are you talking about?” Rin asked.

“What do you mean?” Atsushi asked. 

“The party was to gather you guys and see how you react to each other and I want to confirm my suspicions to my fraction. Just to prove my point. Especially with the new guy, Denji.” Navarro explains. 

“Hah?” Denji looks confused. 

“The plan is to see if it’s true. If guys love Ink and how you guys are going to show it. We had those games I came up with my fraction and Kali twisted the games to her own fun.” Navarro heard Shdwkyz clears his throat, “Because I allow her to when she told me the idea about Ink seeing you guys act  out so we can weed out the competition like she says or something. I didn’t listen, I just wanted to prove that I’m right..”

“True faces???” Midoriya said is now dumbfounded.

“Weed out competition???” Atsushi said, confused by this.

 “I dragged my entire fraction into this stupid plan because I noticed how close you guys were to her and it got me worried.” Navarro said. This is so hard but he needs to let this out. He needs to keep it together. “At first...I was thinking the Bronx Zoo plan where you all can confront Denji  by making a false call but we scratched that idea so we think of the party idea to do that.”

“HUH?!” Denji stares in disbelief. 

“What the hell are you talking about?!” Bakugo now getting upset. “What did the hell did you and your friends just pull?!”

Everyone is trying to make sense of what Navarro is talking but Ren is starting to understand what’s going on so he summarized for the boys to understand. 

“Navarro. Are you telling us the real reason behind the party and those games that Kali facilicated is to confirm your suspicious that we love her so you can make a point to your team. Not only that. You want us to fight each other over her so you want her to pick out of six of us. That’s what the games about? So you can have Ink to watch? ” Ren asked, trying to make sense of this.

“Yeah. sorta...” Navarro said, this got the boys alarmed. “But-But...” 

“So that’s what Kali is talking about....” Midoriya begins, holding his head in his hands, shaking his head. 

“But why??!” Atsushi asked in exprastetion. 

“Because...well...um....” Navarro is trying to say something but Rin wants to know something. 

“Hold on! Did Ink knew?” Rin asked.

“I have feeling she didn’t knew, did she?” Ren asked. 

“She didn’t knew.” Navarro confirmed. “Even now, she doesn’t know. She was kept out of the loop, me and the rest of my fraction hold meetings without her present. She didn’t know the reason behind it even now.  She thought the party is the same as usual. The games was my idea and so is the party idea. At first we want to see how you guys interact and so I can confirm and prove to Shdwkyz and the rest that I’m not paranoid. But then Kali twisted the games to make a Love Oylpmics out of it so I can know what you guys really think of her.” Navarro explained. This got everyone shocked and now upset. 

“I was the one who keep Ink busy when they had a third meeting when it came to the party planning stuff.” Yuuka said, now feeling shit too. 

“Are you fucking serious?” Bakugo asked, angrily. “You knew too, you damn posion bit-”

“Bakugo..” Midoriya warns, quieting Bakugo down because Bakugo never heard his rival refer to his name  before so this made the blond startled. Midoriya sighs then asks the short teen directly. “Navarro...why did you do this?”

That’s a good question. Why? That’s what the boys wanted to know.

“Exactly! Why would you do this?! What are you trying to accomplish?!” Atsushi asked, now upset.

“Yeah! Were you trying to make fools of us?!” Rin asked, now ticked off. “What the hell?!” 

“Not cool!” Denji yelled. “I just want to party with everybody!” 

“Why would you do this?” Ren asked. “What made you come up with this? What was the reason? Navarro?” 

Navarro slams his hands on the table and stands up. 

“Look! The reason for the party is protecting Ink! You guys went out with her during these days and you gave her gifts right?! That got me worried and I made this plan for the party. I mean shit! You know how Ink is! She fights for everyone and she always put everyone first before her! You all saw it. The last thing I wanted is Ink to get hurt. Shdwkyz and my friends didn’t believe me because I was paranoid so I just want to prove point to them that I wasn’t paranoid!” Navarro explains himself then continues, “I mean she doesn’t know how to date people and I got really worried and I thought maybe it will help her. Oblivion told me about this harem thing and I got spooked, okay. The last thing I wanted is to hurt her and I didn’t mean for any of this to happen. I was just trying to protect her and-”

Then a resounding smack echoes throughout the rooftop patio. The five boys jumped in their chairs and were in shock especially Bakugo with his wide-eyed eyes as he sees red imprint slap on Navarro’s right cheek. Denji, Atsushi and Rin had to wince at sound of the smack while Ren closes his eyes when it made contact before reopening them. Shdwkyz widen his eyes and so did Yuuka. They never expected the person to lash out at Navarro, his plan and trying to excuse it. And who is that person??

“You......” A certain green-haired boy talks as his voice shakes and green eyes are full of anger making Navarro tremble. 

“What the HELL is wrong with you?!” Midroya Izuku asked angrily before he grabs the short teen’s collar, getting into his face. The boys can see Midoriya clearly pissed off.  The chair hits the floor when the green hero stands up. 

“Protecting Ink?! How is that protecting her?? Aren’t you her best friend?! Her second in command?! She trusts you then you go and did this?! For what?! Protecting her from what?!” Midoriya told him shaking him a little. “The person you wanted to protect is the one you hurt the most! Ink!  You put her in the spot for no reason because you were worried about us?! US?! Shouldn’t you be worry about her?! Did you even consider how Ink feels right now?! Did you even think this through??!”

“I-I-I” Navarro stammered. But the answer is clear for the green hero and so for the five. They are now frowning now. 

“You didn’t. Not only that, you humiliated her in front of everyone when Kali asked her which one of us that Ink pick, putting her in the spot. She didn’t want to pick because she didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. You embarrassed her, Navarro.” Midoriya continues, “At that point, you should stop Kali when it escalate but you didn’t. You allow it to continue. Instead of talking to us like grown-ups if you’re that worried!! You went and did this. And for what?! You didn’t thought about Ink at all!”

He got him there. Shdwkyz thought. 

Midoriya. Yuuka thought. He knows what to say in this situation.  Navarro felt terrible and winced, taking this in and Midoriya continues.

“Ink said to us that she shouldn’t be the reason that we fought. Do you know what that means??? It means she felt guilty about what’s going on and felt she is the real reason for the party being ruined. But the most responsible for this party is YOU! Not Kali. Not your fraction. Not us. Not Ink. YOU! Just because you want to prove that you’re right?” Midoriya tell him sternly before he calms down a bit, “Navarro.” He said his name for Navarro to look at Midoriya in the eye. His emerald green eyes into his forest green eyes, “Out of everyone you need to apologize to. You need to apologize to Ink, your leader and friend the most. That’s the first thing you should do if you want to make it up to us.” Midoriya lets go out of him and drops him in his seat.

The boys were silent because every word that Midoriya said is correct. He said it way better than any of them here.

Navarro heard this and nods. “I-you’re right, Midoriya. Shit, I was stupid. I’m sorry to you and everyone here. I should apologize to Ink after she recovers. That’s what I’m going to do right now.” He said. 

“Good. That’s what you should supposed to do.” Said Atsushi firmly. “Ink needs to hear it from you, Navarro. You have some explaining to do.” 

“You really owe Ink an apology, man.” Said Rin, frowning.

“Yeah man...not cool. Trying to get us to fight us and make us look bad but also make Ink look really bad. Not cool. That was really shitty of you.” Denji said. 

“Indeed. Like Midoriya said, Navarro. You hurt Ink the most. Ink wanted everyone else together to have fun when you came up with the party. She really want to have fun with but you and Kali had to do all this just to prove to your fraction that you were right about something? You really didn’t think this through.” Said Ren making everyone nod.

“Fucking moron...” Bakugo muttered. “I might be an asshole but damn...you’re the worst. A dick and a dumbass at that.” He told Navarro straightforward. He looks over to Shdwkyz and Yuuka. “And you’re worse than he is. You let this go on? You should of stop him from continue this shit. You dumbasses enabled him.”

“I have no excuse.” Shdwkyz said. “But Yuuka is dragged into this and she didn’t want to hurt Ink and-”

“Shdwkyz. Don’t. Bakugo is right. I’m a terrible friend. I should of told Ink what’s going on but I was worried if I made it worse. But I should of.” Yuuka said.

“Well it’s a good thing you’re here to apologize to us. But you and your fraction need to make it up to Ink, you know. When it comes to being a team, it’s nothing worse than a team hurting their teammate.” Ren said.

“Ren is right. Ink needs to know about this. You can’t let this happen again.” Atsushi said.

And with that, the meeting is over. Navarro is the first to leave and making his way to Ink’s room, excusing himself. 

----- One hour later ----

“Midoriya slapped Navarro?!” Fosh exclaimed making Yuuka nod. “Yea,  I didn’t expect that but I’m not surprised” She said. But Midoriya is the most passionate of all when it comes to heroing. Not only that, he gives the talk to people who did wrong and doesn’t put up with anyone tries to make up excuses for doing wrong things. It’s unexpected but it made sense because Midoriya said it like it is. Navarro hurt Ink the most out of everyone here. 

“Damn...” Rust commented. “But I can’t blame him.” 

“Same. I didn’t expect that.” Jaron said.

“Indeed.” Hellmare said.

“I was taken back too. I thought the others would want to beat him up but Midoriya beat them to it. None of them want to beat Navarro because Midoriya said everything that they wanted to say.” Said Shdwkyz. Out of everyone who want to knock some sense into Navarro. Shdwkyz can see the outcomes. Bakugo and Denji, absolutely! Because they get really angry quickly by this and for good reason. If it weren’t for that stupid first game, Bakugo wouldn’t make Ashely cried and Denji wouldn’t be attacked over a stupid game, making him an outside of the group. 

Rin, most probably. He would probably punch Navarro in the face for pulling this kind of thing. Atsushi? Definitely. He would grab and yell at him while shaking him. Ren? He doesn’t know him but he can give Navarro a staredown and would give him a piece of his mind that can make Navarro think twice. 

But Midoriya? He was the last person he least expected to lash out because well...compared to his rival, Bakugo who can get pissed off and fight everyone who did wrong or wronged him. He would be calm and telling the situation like it is. But it seems like Midoriya has feelings for Ink and hearing what Midoriya said. It made sense and made Shdwkyz guilty that he shouldn’t stop Navarro in his tracks.

“The most happy person is the someone you don’t want to mess with...” Oblivion commented. Everyone agreed.

“Not only that, we need to be aware that we’re partially responsible too in this. We enable this stupid plan and none of us did a damn thing about that.” Shdwkyz said. “So I think we should all apologize to Ink and the six.” 

Nobody in the fraction argued. Because in some way, they let this damn plan go on and nobody ever told Navarro to knock this shit off.

“I guess the best way to go about this now is to make it up to them.” Shdwkyz said.

“I agree.” Yuuka said. 

“So where’s Navarro?” Jaron said.

“He’s talking with Ink right now.” Shdwkyz said. “And I don’t mind if Ink want to punish us for what we did.” “Yes. I think we should accept the punishment.” Jaron said, now feeling bad now.

“I don’t mind getting beat up right now.” Said Rust.

“Or have my laptop thrown out the window.” Fosh said.

“Or being expelled from the fraction.” Hellmare. Yeah that’s one worse. Ink would want to abandon the fraction if she heard all that. Everyone in the DBT felt really bad now. Bakugo is right. We allowed this to continue and enabled this. Now the question is. How would Ink react to this revelation as Navarro talks to her.

------ Meanwhile...back on the Rooftop Paito -----

“So the party and those stupid games is about confirming that dumbass’s suspicions to see if we like Ink or not because we got her gifts and all that shit? That fucking moron.” Bakugo muttered making the boys sigh except for Midoriya who is silent. 

“I can see why it worries him since I heard from Ink that he’s protective of her but he didn’t need to go and do all that.” Ren said, sipping his coffee. “That wasn’t right at all.’

“It’s completely unnecessary!” Atsushi said, now upset at Navarro. Seriously...the Bronx Zoo Plan?! What does that entail?! “He did that just to prove a point to Shdwkyz and the rest of the team that he isn’t paranoid. Who does that?!” Atsushi said. 

“Apparently...that guy.” Rin growled. “That guy is so unreal! I hear Ink talked about him that he’s cool! But what the hell?” 

“That was really shitty on his part.” Denji agreed. “Like dude....that’s messed up and I haven’t met the guy till now.” 

Midoriya then lowers his head and utters something,  “Oh god....” Midoriya said. The rest turned to him. He looks to be panicking. 

“Uh....Izuku. Are you okay?” Atsushi asked.

“Yeah...you good?” Rin asked.

“Yeah...what’s with ya?” Denji asked. 

Midoriya puts his hands in his hair as he looks to be panicking. “I can’t believe I smacked Navarro and lost my cool! Oh god! Ink’s friend and second-in-command! Right in front of Shdwkyz too! What if Ink hates me now when she finds out?!” Midoriya cried. “What is wrong with me?! I can’t be a hero if I lose my cool like that! I need to say sorry to him!”

This got everyone fall out of their seats comedically in disbelief, even the table almost flipped over. Everyone is slowly getting up, trying to get their bearings. Looks like Midoriya is now back to himself. 

“Are you....fucking serious, Deku?!” Bakugo yelled as he got up from the ground. “You can’t be that stupid!” 

Atsushi laughs nervously and pats green-haired teen on the shoulder, “To be honest, Izuku. I don’t think you need to apologize. I think anyone would react like you did.” Atsushi assures the pro-hero. “You said it way better than the rest of us could. The rest of us want to chew him out more for what he did or worse.” Atsushi said. 

“Yeah.” Rin rubs his head, “Hearing what he did and tries to make excuses for it, I wanted to punch him in the face.” Rin said. 

“Or Change his heart.” Said Ren. 

“Or kick him in the balls..” Denji added making Rin nodded. “But ya beat us to it.” Denji said. 

Rin said. “You gave him a good smack to bring him back to his senses. Ink would be glad that you smack her friend if someone tries that shit. Ink knows that you’re doing this by looking out for her.”

“Yeah! Fucking dumbass deserve it!” Bakugo referring to Navarro, “If Ink heard what he did, he’s going to get what’s coming to him!” Bakugo said. 

“That’s true but I wonder how would Ink feel hearing what Navarro did. She would be devastated that her friend would do something like that.” Midoriya worried about Ink. 

“Relax, nerd. Ink isn’t the type of person who would let that shit slide. She would probably come up a way to punish his dumbass.” Bakugo drinking his coffee. 

“I can’t wait.” Rin said while Denji is snickering. “That guy is so screwed.”

Ren nods. “Hmhmmm..” 

Atsushi sighs. “For what’s it’s worth. Ink might.”

Midoriya is worried but curious what would Ink do to Navarro. They waited for any news.

MUSE

Youtubers name/channel: Wilbur Soot (WilburPlays)

Age(age in the Rp 19- 25): 21

Major: Music Performance

Content(beauty, gaming, vlog, etc): Musician

Secret/ Why they are here: ACCEPTED

Background: Being a musician early on gave Wilbur a bit of a push in his path in life. His talents and charisma helped him solidify his band, Lovejoy, which he is incredbily prideful over. After he had toured a couple of times, Wilbur made his way onto Youtube, showcasing his musical talents, and playing video games on the side. He was soon invited into the DreamSMP, which made his internet popularity skyrocket. He spends most of his time songwriting and performing, but makes sure to make some time for his Youtube channel.

Para Sample:(Has to be at least 2 paragraphs or 10-14 sentences) Wilbur, flopping onto his bed on his back, let out a heavy sigh. It had been three months since his tour had ended, and although he had craved the comfort of his own bed and the quiet of his room, he couldn’t help but miss the chaos of touring. Time was always moving. There was always something to do, someone to talk to, something to catch on camera. For once, he was just, there. He pulled his phone out from his right pocket and clicked the screen on to check the time. 6:30 p.m. He furrowed his brows as he began to ponder his routine for today. He definitely ate, he also took a shower earlier that morning. Did he check the mail? Sighing again, he forced himself up and out of bed and down his hallway to the front door. He lazily opened the door and reached out to his mailbox, quickly gathering the couple pieces of mail inside before coming back inside and shutting the door.He began sorting through the mail, half paying attention to what he was throwing aside. Junk, junk, bill, junk, and, huh? “What’s this?” He said aloud, placing the pile of extra mail on his coffee table beside the front door to get a better look at the envelope he was holding. He quickly opened the mail addressed to him, taking the letter inside out and unfolding it. Reading it, a smirk came to his lips. It was his acceptance letter to the college he applied to. Finally. Something to do, something to help him further solidify his future. He placed the letter on top of the rest of his mail and turned to go back to his bedroom. All that was left to do now was pack.

Of Hyperspace and Bootlegs

Ficlet written by @cocoademon feat. self-inserts of the ficauthor and L-mun.

The older you get, the harder it is to tell someone's age by their height alone. I remember being in elementary school, noticing the kids of adult height who, in retrospect, had to be starting puberty. But my friend and I are within an inch of each other at most, despite the five years between our dates of birth. The kid part of my mind insists that as the older person, I should be driving her to this concert, but the fact that I can't drive baffles it. She drives, I pay.

More surprising is that how in spite of the two time zones between us, she set off to my house within minutes of messaging me. She had her car go through hyperspace, which is normally too cumbersome to use, but it actually makes sense when you're driving from Colorado to Michigan to pick up your friend to go to a concert in Detroit. The Sons of the Dark are a Neue Deutsche Härte band, which is basically dark German rock. They were touring across the US—a rare event, said my friend—and had decided to touch down in the Aretha Franklin Amphitheater.

I'm wearing a comfortable Hawaiian shirt with Charizards on it, which—this is important—has a breast pocket big enough for my phone. The night before, I remembered a trick I wanted to try. After giving my phone's storage a good cleaning (laboriously moving screenshots and other pictures to my desktop computer), I had reclaimed enough space to store a recording of the concert.

Shortly before the concert began, I pressed the record button in the app and slid my phone into my pocket. I was a little nervous (fearing that the app would record my heartbeat almost got me into a nasty loop), but it wasn't long before I relaxed enough to enjoy the concert (while trying to keep silent, which my Wiccan friend would appreciate).

The Sons played their last song, then the final encore, then the crowd began to spill out into the night. Me and my friend were on our way out when I got a tap on the shoulder.

"Excuse me?"

I turned around, but it felt more like doing a backflip, I was so dizzy. To my surprise, it was the frontman of the band, a tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed German fellow. He looked wary, but I didn't want to escalate a bad situation by freaking out.

"Yes? Are you going to give my friend an autograph?" I asked.

"You were recording us, weren't you?"

Oh, shit. My heartbeat started pounding in my stomach, all other noises seemed to be muffled, and my teeth chattered, so it would've been obviously dishonest to say anything other than "Yes."

He gave me what looked like a sigh, made some sort of gesture with his fingers, and touched my temple. Instantly, I felt calmer—my stomach jumped up and spiked my anxiety again, but it also dissolved.

"All right, it looks like you didn't know, but we're very strict about no recordings for a reason."

"I didn't know." I looked to my friend. "You never told me about this policy, but I never asked, so I hold you blameless." I began to babble to the frontman. "This is my fault, a spur of the moment plan, in the spirit of the Library of Alexandria. Blessed are the bootleggers, for they shall preserve history—”

He did the calming trick again, and then again, and then once to my friend.

"I'll tell you why, but if you tell anyone else, this is on your heads. Me and my bandmates are immortals. Magical immortals." I must've made an incredulous face. "I know that look, it's one I'm glad to see. I'm not lying, but we want to make sure that as many people as possible react the way you do. It makes life easier for us."

"I know the value of keeping your mouth shut to make life less complicated," I said honestly. "I can't imagine you want to be cut up by the US government, or any government for that matter. Masquerades exist for good reasons."

He nodded tersely. "Good, you understand. But you must swear on your life, that you will not release that recording to the public, are we understood?"

"Yes, I want to respect your privacy, and your right to be forgotten. I leave you alive, you leave me alive. But I want to share this recording with my friend." This is a situation where I'd rather ask for permission than forgiveness.

"That's acceptable. Good night."

"Good night and thank you."

"Bitte."

Some time later, I got a LinkedIn offer for a wonderful WFH-forever job in my field of choice from some company called Ex Nihilo. The message at the bottom made it stand out:

"Thank you for your discretion, Bootleg Head. —Damon W."

I messaged back:

"If my evil empire lets me go, I'll happily join this one."

[ryuka-takane]

🖤Hey, welcome to my RP blog for Ryuka! This character is my OC for Alice in Borderland. I've been writing a fic with her, but this blog is specifically for RP interaction. I accept interactions/prompts through ask.🖤

A few rules:

Canon-typical violence is allowed. But please do not god-mod.

Mun is NOT muse, please do not confuse the two! When OOC, I will indicate it with parentheses.

Respect mun's personal life. Mun is barely divorced and trying to sort life out as a single mom to a baby born in '22 of October, so very much still needs me when I'm not at work. (Job searching since I've moved)

Family comes first for mun, work second, and then hobbies such as fic writing and RP.

Making a pass at mun at any time is unacceptable; I have had it happen before, but will be quick to shut it down. If we are RPing and this happens, the RP will also be stopped if my boundaries aren't respected. We can be friends, mun just isn't looking for more than that!

Minors DNI! This blog, as with my main blog, is 18+ only. Mun is 29 going on 30 this year, and I will not budge on this rule.

Smut is not a topic I particularly wish to delve into. Romance is fine, but Muse (Ryuka) only has romantic interest in Chishiya, and thus, I consider her to be demisexual. Other writing will be platonic. Again, please don't cross Mun and Muse when it comes to romantic interactions.

Have fun!!

Rules being covered, here's Muse's bio!

Ryuka Takane (she didn't originally have a last name; Takane is her last name)

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

Age: 24

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 115 lbs (based upon BMI research)

Hair color: Chestnut brown with crimson streaks

Hair length: Falls to her upper thighs, with sideswept bangs. Eventually cut just above her collarbone (events leading to this may differ from fic)

Skin color: Pale, but not devoid of melatonin.

Eye color: Golden hazel

Profession before the Borderland: Customer Service Representative in a music store; specialized in the guitar section, particularly bass.

Nationality: Japanese-Korean-American (Mother is full blooded Japanese, father is Korean-American)

Personality:

Ryuka Takane is typically soft spoken and keeps to herself, outside of her job. Though ready and willing to help customers, when it comes to social interaction outside of work, she prefers to keep to herself. She has very few friends because of this, but once attached to someone, whether in friendship or otherwise, she will defend them unless they give her reason not to.

Ryuka has a hot temper hidden behind her sweet, quiet demeanor. It's both easy to fluster her, and to make her tick. She's seen herself as an outcast since childhood, and her lack of social interaction as a result has made it difficult for her to manage her emotions at a base level. Witnessing a divorce as a young teen caused some hang ups with romantic viewpoints, and resulted in a terribly failed relationship at 17 years of age, after which she swore not to get attached to anyone again (and hasn't). One may describe her as being "tsundere," if they get to be around her for long enough.

Ryuka has a moderate level of intelligence, often surprising others around her at how perceptive she can be, though her skills are best suited to pattern recognition and reading facial queues. She isn't a genius by any means, but she makes an effort to let her intelligence be known if slighted.

Attire:

Ryuka is typically seen wearing three colors--black, violet, and lime green. She cycles through loose fitting hoodies and skinny jeans, to regular form fitting t-shirts and tank tops with skinny jeans. Combat boots are her preferred shoe. Most of the hoodies she's had typically have cat ears sewn onto the hood of them. She likes to wear wrist bands as well, and may occasionally be seen wearing a choker. Save for her ears, she has no other piercings.

Hobbies: Singing (when alone), dancing (again, when alone), playing bass guitar.

Likes: Music, alone time, cherry blossoms, k and j-pop, j-metal and American metal

Dislikes: Excessive physical activity (though she has excellent stamina and reactionary skills), being lied to, extroverts, being treated as if she's stupid.

Fun fact: Ryuka can absolutely hold her own in a fight if she needs to. That isn't to say that she doesn't slip up at times, getting herself hurt if she grows overconfident in her ability to take someone down, but most would be surprised at how tough this tiny woman is.

Closing Thoughts Before 2023

Before the year officially comes to an end, I just wanna thank everyone for sticking by me and my blogs for so long, whether you be new or old mutuals. Granted, 2022 did come with it’s ups and downs, so to say I enjoyed every last minute of it would be a major lie, but amidst all the suffering, I did also have good times, which I previously never thought would be possible after experiencing such a huge, emotionally devastating loss that made me want to leave tumblr for good. Seriously, I ended up being so depressed at one point, I thought I would never truly recover or attain happiness ever again..

On one hand, I ended up seeing the worst of the RPC, from being betrayed by the two people I thought were my friends, experiencing trauma, ableism towards not only myself but other autistic muns, and having the displeasure of witnessing people behaving at their worst when they’re safely behind their computer screens, but on the bright side, I finally stopped being a shut in.

Why, after years of being unemployed, I at long last took that first step on becoming a adult by applying for a job, and while it was a small step, I was still made so much better by it, because for once, I no longer felt helpless or stagnant, especially now that I no longer relied on the RPC as a form of escapism. No longer did I have to feel the raw dread of being confined within a house that sometimes felt as if it would suffocate me or be around the most irksome members of my family day and night.

I also made new friends and reconnected with old mutuals who have accepted me with open arms, so while my pool of writing partners/threads hasn’t grown as big as I might like it to be, it still doesn’t change the fact that I’m content. You guys make being here fun, and even if you might not write with me in 2023, I hope you can continue tolerating me on your dash (because I can guarantee you that I will never stop being annoying or go on long tangents about my favourite blorbos)!

[crystalelemental]

*sigh*  So there's a new mechanic in the gacha!  That's a pretty universally damning statement!  We got several additions of a special Personalized Passive that's really three passives at once, added to PokeFairs exclusively, when they hit 5/5 and then are further upgraded with ~special move candy~ that is different from the kind the whales collected so they can monetize them more effectively.

Listen, this intro isn't doing us any favors: I hate this.  It's unnecessary bloat that enforces a higher paywall cap for maximizing characters, and as we'll see, some of them are just effects they'd have naturally through other avenues if this mechanic didn't exist.  But fuck it, let's see how the passives go.  Are these things worth it?  No.  But are they interesting if you find yourself in possession of five special candy?  Also no.  Still talking about it.  It's a slow day at work.

Sygna Suit Red Solar Sync.  Gives +3 SMUN and Sync MUN on entry. Likely does not stack with mega, given Head Start rules, but it could like Team Sharp Entry does, who knows.  It's solidly decent.  No extension sucks, but what can you do?

Sygna Suit Leaf Powers up moves of all foes when targeting a Poisoned foe.  Piercing Gaze.  Applies Rebuff on the first attack, so now she can hit Toxic and Rebuff in the opening action.  She's alright, really depends on the damage buff.

Sygna Suit Blue Gives Free Moves Next when he's hit by a move, and increases PMUN and SMUN by 1 when he uses a Trainer Move.  Decent enough, no serious complaints, though it's not exceptional.

Sygna Suit Korrina Sprint Role effect.  Applies No Stat Increase effect to the foe's field after sync, and powers up all allies when targeting a foe with no raised stats.  Honestly, it's pretty good.  Can't wait to see how they fuck over Anni Lillie if they bother giving these to Master Fairs.

Sygna Suit Mina Extends Rain, and prevents crits to the team while it's raining.  Turns the field to Fairy Zone the first time she sets Rain.  That's absolutely ridiculous.  Holy shit Mina, calm down.  Sprint Role, now extended Rain and a free application of Fairy Zone independent of sync, AND she can block all crits for the team to shut down second sync in some Ultimate Battles?  Absolutely nuts.

N Powers up moves when Atk is raised, guessing 30%.  Powers up sync when supereffective, which is...I mean let's be real, that's all we use things for anymore.  The days of off-type are kinda dead.  Hopefully 50%.  +1 PMUN when trainer uses a move.  This is all pretty free.  Exact numbers are unknown, but looks decent after the other boosts.

Steven Powers up moves and sync when Defense is raised.  Applies Enduring to everyone after his first sync, nice for his Support role.  Increases PMUN for all allies when his Bullet Punch is used.  It's not terrible, but again, very dependent on those numbers.

Cynthia Head Start 1, which may not stack with mega.  Causes a Sandstorm when she enters battle, so there's actual perma-sand independent of all else.  The more her speed is raised, the stronger her sync.  Honestly not too bad.  Noting disgustingly broken, though, Sandstorm was always a need so it's not hard to justify putting her with Bertha or Ingo.  Especially since she needs speed anyway.

Lance Head Start 1.  Adrenaline 1.  Powers up sync when Sp Atk is raised.  Cute, ultimately not that useful.

Champion Iris Head Start 1.  Adrenaline 1.  Increases PMUN by three after first sync.  I'm fine saying this sucks.  They hate Iris over at DeNA.

Ingo Reduces sync by 1 when using a Status move, so Sandstorm.  Extends Sandstorm, which...should have been his 5/5 grid.  Sync Burst, so more Sand and Potion applications.  It's pretty good for his role, the question now is how valuable that Sand is.  Not very.

Sygna Suit Ingo Powers up only the user's sync against foes with status conditions.  Applies Ghost Zone and extends it when Max Move is used.  Kinda mid, not gonna lie.

Emmet Powers up sync in Sand.  Restores HP when his attack is successful.  Charges the move gauge by 1, but if it hits multiple targets, 1 for each.  The gauge is his best use, the HP is kinda awkward.

Sygna Suit Emmet Reduce sync by 2 when he uses a trainer move.  Powers up all allies' sync when Circle is active.  Extends Circle.  Honestly it's not bad at all, but I also hate it, because it's a lot of stuff you could've just put in his grid to begin with.

Sygna Suit May Piercing Gaze.  I guess we needed that.  Sure crit on everything.  Alright?  +1 PMUN for all allies when trainer uses a move.  So like.  Three uses at most, but you wouldn't even click the Dire Hit All+ because you always crit now.  So...what is the point of this again?  I'm sorry, this actually feels like the worst one thus far.

Sygna Suit Morty Head Start 1, are you sensing a pattern yet?  Extends Sun duration, see my gripes about Ingo.  +1 PMUN/SMUN when he sets Sun via status move.  Honestly the sun thing on its own makes this worth it, it's just extremely annoying.

Sygna Suit Diantha Stop me if you've heard this one before.  Head Start 1, likely doesn't stack with mega.  Rock Zone on entry.  +1 PMUN for all allies when anyone sets any type of field effect.  Now that one is interesting, given the presence of SS Acerola.  Just putting that out there.  Still, outside of Zone on entry, which likely runs out by first sync anyway because animation times, I'm not as impressed.

Lucas Reduces sync by 1...when it uses Dragon Wish!  Hah!  You thought it would be on entry again!  Shame on you.  Increases SMUN by 1 when any trainer move is used.  ...no, that's it.  Yeah, it's two effects when everyone else is getting three.  Shut up.

Sina Ice Zone on entry.  Increases SMUN by 3 on entry.  Applies Enduring if HP is full on entry.  Middling, too reliant on entry, no extension, her DPS is never going to be good stop trying, I know we're aiming for a dodge tank thing but it's not working stop it.

Dexio Adrenaline 2.  Turns the field to Psychic Terrain on entry.  Increases SMUN by 3 on entry.  More functional given his DPS is good, decent cooldown for a sub-Support, Terrain no extension kinda sucks though.

Emma Adrenaline 1.  Lowers Poison Rebuff on first attack.  Lowers Def of target by 1 when move is successful.  Hey.  Hey, why just -1?  That's really not good.  And hey, where the absolute fuck is Hostile Environment?  That's like the only thing she needs to actually be self-sufficient and you fucked it up, you bozos.

Victor Powers up Max Move when Atk is raised.  Turns field into Grassy Terrain on entry, and after using its Grass-type Max Move.  It's not bad.  I'm mad about it.

Challenger Gloria Powers up Max Moves when Atk is raised.  Applies relevant field effect after using Max Move of choice.  This is technically four, but also kinda two, I don't know how to feel about it.  No extension on any of them makes it feel really middling for her, especially given she was already clearing so many Gauntlet Solos and is otherwise whatever to me.

Kabu Powers up all allies' sync when target is trapped.  Sun on Max Move, extends Sun.  Cute.  Not particularly necessary, but sure.

Anni Raihan Powers up moves of all allies when weather is in effect.  Restores user's HP when attacks are successful.  Increases SMUN of all allies when anyone activates a field effect.  Pretty alright.  Very weird that he doesn't up PMUN too.

Rose Head Start 1.  Max Countdown 2.  Increases PMUN by 2 when using Max Move.  It's fine.  Ramping potential.

Oleana Exactly the same as Rose's.  Literal copy-paste. Much better since she pops Max Move instantly for Poisoning and Rebuff purposes, and can quad queue into a full fast-ramp by herself.

Elaine Head Start 1.  Increases moves of all allies when attacking a flinched, trapped, or confused enemy.  Increases Sync MUN by 1 when she uses a trainer move.  Her whole thing is cycling trainer move, so that's actually persistent effects across the board.  Gold star.

Nemona Head Start 1, fast ramp by herself.  PMUN +1 when a move is successful, it's not helping.  40% flinch rate, which I think stacks with Staggering for a 70% flinch rate.  Actually extremely good for her.  Now give her a Role, and make it Strike, you fucks.

Akari Head Start 1.  Powers up moves for all allies when Dark Damage Field is active.  Reduces attack move damage taken by all allies when Dark Damage Field is active.  You had me in the first half.

Penny Sprint Role effect.  Reduces move damage from foes afflicted with a rebuff.  Potentially good.

Grusha Reduces special move damage specifically while Ice Zone is up for all allies.  Field Role effect is the next two passives.  Meh.

Volo Adrenaline 2.  MP Burst.  Recuperation 1, but the team version I can't remember the name of.  Team healing of 20% on sync, that one.  Repeated every sync.

Poppy Sync -2 on first trainer move, nice.  Piercing Gaze.  Vigilance.  Honestly, it's fine.

Eri Head Start 2.  Powers up all allies' moves when Circle is up.  First Aid 6.  It's fine.  Her whole thing is sustain tanking so it honestly works.

General Impressions With all that in mind, here is the main question to ask ourselves. What is the point of this promotion?

The obvious answer is "there's a new game mode in the works that will start demanding this shit, locking previously accessible F2P gems behind it to fuck with people." But in the current moment, what is there? Unlike Roles, this doesn't improve performance in Battle Rally. CS and LG don't need the help, and frankly Damage Challenge is so hyper-specific most of this isn't particularly compelling either. That leaves how much this helps with Ultimate Battles, and truth be told? None of these upgrades feel like they change anything.

Look at the general structures in place here. Head Start 1 is incredibly common as part of the effect, but almost no one who gets it is designed to ramp, with fewer still actually achieving full ramp independently. Adrenaline effects are also decently common, with some of them getting a full Sprint effect, usually because they're supports that got fucking screwed by the Tech role designation for no goddamned reason. Some of them, like Ingo and Morty, get field effect extension. You know, a passive skill that in any sane world, would be a default effect in their 3/5 or 5/5 grids depending on release timeframe. Now it's locked to 10/10. Some who get these field effects don't even make good use of them. I don't think Challenger Gloria or SS Ingo, for example, have any real relevance setting field effects. Without extension, it's one application that won't even last a full sync cycle. That's not pulling your weight in Ultimate Battles.

The real question left is just how much augmentation do these "powers up" effects have? Given how certain passives are mapping to pre-existing effects, my guess is 20% for team-wide boosts, 30% for personal boosts, maybe up to 50% for sync or Max Moves since N's sounds like SEUN. They could be higher, but they could also just be whatever. These aren't intrinsically bad effects, but they're not overwhelming gamebreaking effects that justify the absurd level of investment needed. I'd expect the 10% raw stats (which do factor in EX and role improvements apparently) and the move damage upgrades will account for far more.

In my personal estimation, the only ones that are like...decisively worth it are SS Mina, SS Morty, Nemona, and maybe Oleana. Maybe. Everything else is surprisingly tame by comparison. This is, of course, dependent on exact damage modifier numbers, but I'm currently not impressed.

My current stance? Pretty much anything is worth the 10% bonus in stats. If general candy exists, I almost feel like it's better to just throw in 10% boosts across the board. Supports packing 300+ defenses get a very respectable improvement to bulk, offensive pairs pushing 500 get an insane boost, HP and speed are always very welcome. I think Supports have absolutely no reason to pursue higher Awakened levels at all, the extra stats aren't really needed. I think Strikers can justify one more step for extra move damage, depending on severity (assuming a typical move level, so like 5% of base BP), while Tech likely won't need anything past 6 either. I forget which set Field and Sprint are in, but meh.

My other, more critical stance is that this better fucking apply to Master Fairs. I had exactly two hopes going into this mechanic. One was that my favorite seasonal, who is 5/5, would get the stats stuff but not the passive. That is dead now. The other was that this was finally going to be an actual, for reals buff to Anni Lillie. If they take that from me too, I'm deleting this game, I swear to god I will leave again if they pull this shit.

2 for fandom, 2 for ships :3

What is your favorite fandom in which you write?

Like asking my favorite child: once again! But for realsies this time. I intensely love anything I write for and won't shut up about it.

Is there any fandom you regret exploring?

Not...Really? I don't participate in fandom really besides with beloved oomfies, m00ties, and friends!

Do you tend to focus on shipping or do you not care at all?

It's kind of: if it happens, it happens. I do think exploring the dynamic (especially in a panfandom environment) is a lot of fun. But I'm not bent out of shape if I can't get a ship.

Have you ever developed a ship based on writing with a certain other character / mun?

Uh. Yeah. LMAO Bee can attest to this she was the same with our muses in canon. A wittle embawwassing...

[sincerely-krp]

・❥・

hs baekhyun mun back yet again. i’m sorry for clogging up this blog a second time, but i do not want to be associated with whatever people are trying to associate me with, regardless of how little that population is. i want to stop it before more weird assumptions are made.

as an outsider to the situation or even as someone within the rp, the criticism concerning this bee meme is fair. i understand it and am not trying to deny it. my first thought after receiving the dare was to ask if the meme should only be added to the posts of those within an appropriate age range; in retrospect, not doing so was a negligent oversight. i admit that. i, instead, brushed off the thought and assumed others would get the joke – it was clear there was an event going on anyway – and the majority within the rp picked up that it was part of the game quickly. 

  people either positively interacted with the bee meme or chose to ignore it. if someone wished to not address it, it remained untouched (four (4) muses); if someone replied, baek commented back (nine (9) muses). here is every bee meme comment still left in the rated group (a purge has happened between when the dare began and now. i didn’t screenshot before because i didn’t think i’d need them):

bee meme with replies and/or emojis:

bee meme with no replies and/or emojis:

every time someone asked about the bee, it was made clear it was for a dare. these are all the examples i could find:

people also referenced the bee in the rated chat (which has since been deleted as that individual was removed) and people began using it on baekhyun’s posts as well:

to that specific person’s argument: i didn’t know people were uncomfortable with the dare. none of the interactions above, to me, indicated anyone was. it is difficult to solve a problem you are not made aware of. if someone said something to me, i would have adjusted the dare or ended it, game be damned. the admins/mods also never approached me about stopping the dare or changing its parameters because it made someone uneasy, nor did anyone come to me directly about it. i deduced it made one (1) person uncomfortable by myself and reached out ic to apologize (which was included in my first post; this occurred on oct. 22, the day the dare ended). the second time it came to my attention was on this blog. by then, the dare was already over (oct. 17 ~ 22). 

  on the topic of if i’ve enforced the boundary of 25-/25+ before: yes, i have. all four (4) rp partners that i’ve written explicitly with had/have 25+ on their profiles, knew this boundary from the start (via plotcalls), or we’ve discussed our ages before writing (hello, i’m 27). when needed, i ask, and, when needed, i enforce this boundary. i do not have a lot of evidence to back this up as i don’t write smut often regardless of platform and have only been on the mewe side of rp since the summer, but here are a few situations where clarification was needed or where baekhyun/i turned someone down:

  1. interacting with someone where a thread was leaning in a flirty direction (led by the other muse/mun’s doing). i messaged them before the thread got to that point. once learning they were not 25+, i stopped that interaction the nicest way i could:

2. a mun did not respect the age boundaries i put in place and continued to send suggestive messages. i can shut down most things; however, it grew to the point where i needed to inform the admins:

3. a younger muse approached baekhyun and asked if he would watch an explicit bl drama they were involved in. baekhyun declined the offer while trying not to offend them: 

4. more lighthearted, but a younger muse approached baekhyun and both respected the age gap:

if you are currently in the rp and are still unsatisfied, feel free to play roulette! spin the wheel of muses outside of the +/-5 rule and ask them if baekhyun has ever made a sexual advance on them. he teases, jokes around, and will talk about whatever, but has only made advances on two individuals while at hs, one of which isn’t even currently in the rp (both ‘94+).

  on a more serious note, if for some reason someone attempted to tell me/baekhyun they were uncomfortable and i did not understand, i apologize. english is not my first language. it doesn’t matter how fluent you get, sometimes you don’t pick up on certain things or the connotations of some words/phrases slip right over your head. i do not want to lean into this as an excuse, but it is also just a fact. i’ve made mistakes before, and although i try my best not to, i could easily make them again. a mistake is still something that should be reflected upon and apologized for, after all.

  just for funsies, here is proof of me saying english is not my first language: 

and, to defend the ㅋs, here is a message from irl baek today:

the excessive ㅋs are in character. 

  if you’d like more clarification on anything else, please let me know.

admin note: we will not be posting anything that isn’t constructive, whether support or criticism in response to this! there is no need to berate a mun or make judgements of their character solely from what’s posted in pieces on our blog!

[kruel-kreator]

"Oh my misfortune come's from being this motherfucker's golden child." Anarchy points to Jesse, who tugs at the back of the muse's collar, shutting him up. "Yeah but the plan's for you to not die, careful with Anarchy's wings by the way, don't go too far back." Jesse chuckles as the motorcycle revs up.

Anarchy does a flashy countdown, and at go, his wings expand, giving the trio a fast boost like a rollercoaster. The speed gets to normal motorcycle speed eventually, and they pass through many places. The most notable one is a black desert, which Anarchy decides to not joke about with Jesse.

"This one's the Eclipseborn's Battlefield, any war you've heard of is held here. The one for Inanis, the one between the District and City, it's a place full of melancholy and tragedy. " When he waves his hand, Author can see the battles redisplayed, in specific the greater moments of the District-City war, labeled the Single-line War.

The moment they begin to approach the exact spot where Anarchy lost his first life to Democracy, the voidkin's wings once again boost them, catching Jesse off guard who almost lets go. He only scoffs as a warning to the character, who glares back, seems there's some tension between creator and creation, mun and muse.

Eventually, they see a wonderful sight, a city that looms in the distance, just as the sun sets, light begins illuminating it. They enter the gates into the Beta District, it's a bit cramped but people make way for Anarchy, who waves and even blows a kiss to this blond, demon guy, Mikiah.

The motorcycle drifts and Jesse holds on to Author to make sure she doesn't fall when he does that "Here's your stop, machine of art." Anarchy scoffs, the moment Jesse and Author get off, the winged one spits at the creator's feet before taking off once again, Jesse just raises him the middle finger.

"Ignoring the relationship I have with that Jackass.. Welcome to the Beta District!" Jesse raises one of his arms to show off the entire street, and then the lights go out. He stays there for a moment, unresponsive as people begin to get out lights. "This is going perfectly." He scoffs, annoyed smile on his face

A fat gray raccoon wearing a little backpack comes trotting up to Jesse and sniffs his shoes before sitting back on its haunches.

"I know you! Big fan of your work! Can I have your autograph?" she beams, then takes a notebook and a pen out of her backpack and stands up on her little hind paws to offer the notebook to him.

@parables-for-days

Jesse watches as the racoon moves around him, being careful not to step on her until she stops. He chuckles "Oh yeah, sure" He takes only the notebook as he kneels down, taller than he should be due to the heeled boots. From his pocket he takes out his stylus, which he uses to autograph the notebook, the color is purer than any pen can ever be, and as dark as the void. He writes on it "TO HELL AND BACK, JESSE ALKATRAZ <3" BEFORE HANDING IT BACK.

"Say, how'd you find a way in here? I thought I had closed off the Inanis Realm for the time being." He seems calm, he feels relaxed, he's not as tired as he usually is. Jesse's eyes aren't as closed as usual, but still have that smug look to t hem that comes with the eyebrows.

[douxie-casperan]

I’ve been thinking a lot about timings, specifically Douxie in Arcadia in regards to just the Trollhunter’s series and generally what he was up to at the time. He was clearly in the area before we saw him in Season 3 though his day to day was shown more by comparison in 3Below and thus thanks to an initial ramble in the tags I decided to go ahead and figure things out that make most logical sense to me and could well be completely wrong. As you do.

Prior to the start of Trollhunters it is very unlikely there would have been too many problems as all factions were largely keeping to themselves and under the radar of the others. However after Kanjigar fell, Bular was a LOT more active in Arcadia because of hunting down Jim and in turn because of trying to stop the Killahead project Jim was most active within town it's self at weird hours. As a result this greatly increases the run in risk with Douxie’s own night time wanderings however regular they were for dealing with non-troll related beings that are likely being attracted by the native magic (Ley-line) of the place. The changelings could clear up the messes a certain troll left behind, sure, but somebody who knows enough about trolls would start putting two and two together that the dynamic had shifted somehow and not in a particularly good way.

The easiest way to solve this problem would Douxie happening to be out of the area at the time and quite handily in his first appearance Claire mentions a tidbit that could easily do just that: Ash Dispersal Pattern was the opening act for at least one Papa Skull concert (Highly likely the one she went to with Steve) and it'd make sense to be fronting for more than one and it would keep him safely out the area for a while. After Bular is killed, it is much easier to again hand wave Team Trollhunter and Douxie/the hedge-witches simply not running into one another when something was happening on the Surface given the locations various things tended to happen with a lot less environmental destruction compared to recent times.  

In the first episode of Season 3 we see the kids have been placing warded signs under the guise of supporting Ophelia's campaign to help ward off Gumm-Gumms and that’s a giant neon sign something is there you're trying to protect for anybody with any magical knowledge. It's unknown how long they have been doing this though given Claire and Jim are planting them in the neighbourhood it's likely they started branching out after experimenting with the original hiding spot for Trollmarket (If with a few hiccups given one troll managed to stumble over them anyway) pretty recently which gives ample time for the source to be spotted before the sudden increase.

It stands to reason that around this period is when Douxie would have likely picked up there was now a human teenager running around as the current Trollhunter which I have no doubt he did side eye a bit as uh what and that Trollmarket had an emergency exodus to the Surface even if not knowing the reasoning behind either. Word will be passed on but it's still troll politics at the end of the day, nothing to do with us but worth keeping tabs on.

A few days maximum prior too will be also when a new unknown witch in Arcadia was noticed (Something I touched on here) whom he could just have easily innocently passed in the street. With Zoe's help they would be able to slowly pin down a bit more information (Teenager, likely in High School so gotta check 'em all) until through using Battle of the Bands as a ruse find out that person is Claire. Jim’s attempts at dissuading her joining in (The so-called ”after school activities”) would have confirmed any suspicion that she was also part of Team Trollhunter too which would stand out given they tended to be more solitary in that job role. While he did use very archaic terms (To us), he was being exceedingly respectful of another unknown magic user as appearance is no judge for true age as he proves himself.

Douxie is not seen again until he's on waiter duty at Mr. Benoit's and it's likely thanks to Darci's presence they don't fudge any mention of Trollhunting duties and not give him any tip offs/confirmation that Toby is also involved. Claire's initial outburst would have been very ?? but if you've been in customer service long enough it's a bit on the worrying side sure but not an immediate red flag. That said given the complete change in demeanour afterwards with very wrong vibes being given off to boot that would have been a whole nother kettle of fish easily leading to stealth texted Zoe while back inside say a bit of a situation was developing with the new witch and how best to handle it. I actually had a rough mention of this scenario here.

The next time he would see them, in passing or otherwise, whatever the situation was has been resolved thanks to the help of Strickler meaning whatever plans they had to research more or help would have been rendered unneeded which is good or bad depending on how you look at it. This would also mean the other magic users of Arcadia remained completely in the dark that both Morgana is actively in play and that she was right there in front of Douxie without him even realising it.

~

Author note: Due to the weirdness of the in the UK aired version, I cannot accurately speculate on Douxie seeing 100% possessed Claire as there are two jump cuts. The first during the bathroom scene just after Morgana leaves the mirror then where it then suddenly jumps to showing a few seconds of "I feel like a whole new girl" then a second jump to everybody walking home. I think there was a "Silence, peasant" in there from gif sets I've seen but aside from that I genuinely have no idea! Tried to do my best with what I know for certain.

~

Then you get the Eternal Night and ho boy this is precisely why I’m writing about it in a one shot and have previously had a mention of the situation here as well. Given Douxie’s outburst at the start of Wizards it stands to reason that Merlin never contacted him and this poor guy in turn had absolutely no idea that he’d awoken nor was in Arcadia. This meant that he (And very likely Hex-Tech too) were completely caught out when it hit which would match up with his being completely without the bracelet leaving him to defend Mary and Darci with a freaking flying kick and belting a Gumm-Gumm with his guitar. Honestly it does show he's not defenceless without it but damn what an entrance. Plus the little slip up with calling the attacker twits, that wouldn’t have registered with the girls but had Claire or Toby still been there? Oh that’d have been very interesting as that is not a term you know without knowing outting him on the spot very much like how it did for us as viewers. Alas they were elsewhere, his secret remains intact.

It’s very possible during this entire mess he might have seen Morgana too, distantly perhaps but very there given her colour of magic and the golds are very distinctive, leading to one very awful blast from the past but right now your focus has to be on getting these kids and any other stragglers to safety because that is where you can help right now and not on the field. Head down, keep going and freak out about it later. Oh and whenever get a spare minute text Zoe to check both she and any of the Coven in the area currently are holding up okay and if they need backup.

At the very least none of them would have to pretend they don't know what trolls are anymore, handy given at least two plus the two changelings who stayed behind though the same hat syndrome between Strickler and Douxie would be an absolute goldmine about now if they hadn't manage to have a run in prior. I am a simple person, I find the concept hilarious.

Finally there is one other little issue needs resolving. After the arrival in flying Camelot, Douxie much like the others appears far more worried about seeing Jim inside a crystal and not about the fact he's no longer human. Steve? There’s every possibility he found out along with Eli at some point from Toby but in the wizard's case, he would never have been in that friend (Or even kinda) circle to get that bit of information nor does Merlin pull him aside to mention it either. That leads me to suspect he may have briefly glimpsed Jim during the battle and put two and two together much like Aja did that they are the same person. It’s highly unlikely he knew of the Eclipse armour existence given how secretive Merlin tends to be (Plus he was 19 at the time not to mention a bit of a disaster but we love him anyway) however there would be absolutely no mistakening that it is the Trollhunter in a new coat... and new bluer form. Follow that train of thought enough and it leads to the fact there is only one person alive that could have pulled that one off: The very same one who created the amulet in the first place.

Oops.

anxious about attempting to interact off anon, may I ask for tips on what to and not to do? some kind of guidelines on how to bother without being A Bother, y'know?

((Oh gosh, hi! That's always a rather nerve-wracking thing, I feel you! I still get nervous about interacting with people who I've been mutuals with for at least a year aslkdjfhadflkjah

I don't think I'm the best at giving this kind of advice, but I can try to offer things that worked for me?))

((This is an interjection from Future Willow who realizes once again she does not know how to shut the fuck up. This got long. Oh my god I'm so sorry. I'm putting this under a cut LMFAO AYO????))

((One of the biggest things to not do (and this is something I and several others have had rampant issues with from one person in particular) is assume a particular aspect of characterization of someone else's muse. I'm talking things like being hyperspecific with questions that lead to the impression that you're pushing your characterization of a certain muse onto the mun. Boldfaced assumptions are a big, big nono, especially with a fandom as wild and interpretive as Mega Man. Everyone has a different take on a character and this can range from a mild alteration to being completely and wholly AU in some cases, so respecting that is the most important thing.))

((However, this also does segue rather nicely into the first and probably most important piece of advice I can give: ask the muns about their muses and world. Let them speak! I've found that it tends to work better, when approaching someone, to ask or encourage them to tell you about their muse first, rather than offering your own right off the bat. Now, I'm operating under the assumption that you're also a roleplayer, but if you're not, this still works! I haven't found a single person who doesn't want to share the worlds they've developed and the effort that has gone into their muses, extenuating circumstances aside. Give them an audience, and it makes it easier to figure out how you can best interact with their characters or bounce off of something they've said and find something that clicks! If you're nervous about sending an ask off anon, it's okay to request for the mun to answer you privately instead of publicly, or ask them if it's okay to DM them. Some muns (myself included) might have their DMs limited to mutuals only, but it never hurts to ask! If someone wanted to ask me something privately, I'd gladly change that setting so we could chat.))

((Other things that help are if you're unsure how to start an interaction, maybe just send an emoji or question from an ask meme. A bunch of us reblog these from time to time. Those are simple ways to start an interaction, though I honestly have not found it to work the best for me. I prefer kicking down someone's metaphorical door and holding them at gunpoint to tell me about their muses LOL (but even then I get nervous with people I may not know as well so this is not foolproof and ABSOLUTELY not the best solution for everyone, oh lord). You could also identify yourself as a certain anon, give yourself a nickname. Like "bread anon" or something, idk. That usually helps the mun start to identify you, and with that brand of familiarity it becomes easier to build the courage to interact. Also!! Just!!! Complement the muns and their portrayals! Interact, even if it just means liking a post. Do keep in mind I suggest these as supplements to the first advice.))

((That being said, it's also very important to read the room when you do muster up the courage to interact off anon. If a mun doesn't seem very interested or responds with "maybe" or "I'm not sure," and doesn't follow up with it, please respect that. The worst thing that a mun can say to you is no if you ask for an interaction, and often times I've found that "no" comes from just... not knowing someone else well enough or not having something to bounce off of. Remember that interactions are a two way street, which means that there has to be some form of equal investment. If there isn't, just chill, and don't be pushy. It'll be okay. A lot of muns are slow to warm up to people they're unfamiliar with, especially in this fandom.))

((Oh also read the rules. Please. Oh my god. Every mun has different comfort levels which means that knowing their boundaries is the most important thing of all. Read them twice. Three times if you have to. I am a hardass and am constantly checking blogs to make sure I haven't missed anything that's been changed or something because I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes, but that's just me. Also keep in mind that all of us are human too and we are simply dumbasses who like fictional characters a bit too much. I'm not exactly sure what kind of reputation I have here, but anyone who knows me on a more personal level will tell you that I just say the wildest shit and type in all caps frequently because I constantly yell and don't shut up LOL. We're not scary, so don't stress too much!!))

((...Tbh I don't know if I answered your question properly because, as is my namesake on most platforms, I fucking Rambled. These are the things that just occurred to me off the top of my head, but I hope this helps regardless! Ultimately, be courteous, be kind, and be engaged, and things will likely be okay! Good luck, anon <3))
