Dead on Main Soulmate AU

First words your soulmate says to you are written on your skin. Jason didn’t understand his for a long time- it looks like an insult, but he has absolutely no idea what it means, both before and after his death.

Eventually, it starts to make a slight bit more sense as Trendy Lingo advanced, and he hears Steph and Tim and some other teens using something similar. Still, he doesn’t understand why they’re said, and so Jason is completely unprepared for when he’s approached randomly by some guy while walking down the street after a particularly violent pit rage.

“Sir, your vibes are rancid.”

Jason freezes. The pit writhes in offense, because what the fuck, but at the same time his heart is beating out of his chest, because what the fuck?

“Oh ancients that sounded rude.” The guy says, eyes widening like he can’t believe he said that. “I mean- I just- are you okay? You don’t feel okay. You feel really, really sick, like your soul got marinated in corrupted ecto, and do you want help?”

Jason keeps staring. The guy is cute, dark hair and blue eyes that seem just a bit too bright to be human, freckles disappearing behind an embarrassed flush.

“I don’t want to overstep, because you’re giving off a whole lot of “fuck off don’t talk to me”, but I didn’t wanna just ignore you because I’m pretty sure a lot of the anger and bad vibes are coming from the corrupted stuff and I’m pretty sure I can help with that? If you don’t want help just tell me to fuck off or punch me in the face and I’ll leave but-”

The stranger takes a nervous step away, and Jason lunges forwards before he can think, everything in him rebelling at the thought of his soulmate leaving, from his own thoughts to the pits themselves.

“Please don’t leave.” He gasps, hands squeezed tight to his soulmates arm despite the twinge of pain from his bloodied knuckles. His soulmate’s eyes widen in shock, mouth dropped open, before he breaks into a bright, amazed grin.

“I won’t, I promise.” His soulmate says, reaching up to hold onto Jason’s arms in turn. His touch is cold, even through Jason’s jacket. “I’m staying right here.”

Jason leans into the touch, sagging with relief. He can feel the pits receding, the anger and pain and fear fading as his soulmate gently runs his hand over his back.

He feels, for the first time in a long time, at peace.

“…seriously though, wtf happened to you, you reek of bad death juice.”

I’m gonna mention a few fics by name that have me hooked (some of them I’m pretty sure that have been discontinued but if there’s no note from the author then I’ll keep waiting 🤞)

1. On the edge of seventeen by Scratchienails (obviously) [ao3]

When I saw that the third chapter came out I went so feral I couldn’t read it for a full 45 minutes. That’s all I’m gonna say, I have three other full posts dedicated to this fic

By the same author theres also “But the sea changes colours” it’s based around the same idea that Roger never died but Roger and Shanks steal baby Luffy from Garp and Dragon (it’s very funny but I think it’s been discontinued)

2. A boy with a scar by Syluk [ao3]

It’s a fic about Luffy having been taken as a slave when he was a child and how this affects the story. It has 33 chapters and counting and IT IS SO GOOD AA. Really love when authors take into account all the consequences the changes of the au would have in canon, I mean, like characters that haven’t met the main crew yet still doing things off frame. And the characterization is on point, I love that

3. Blackout / How to catch a Shikari / Brothers under the moon by rikuai12 [ao3/fanfiction]

THIS AUTHOR RAAAAA

That’s all I’ll say

4. Maybe this is home by Lilian_lav [ao3]

At first I was kind of hesitant bc Luffy was kind of out of character and everyone hated him, but as the chapters went on the little cryptid fuck grew on me and so did on the other characters. It has 24 chapters and counting and it’s really fun how asl interact with the heart pirates (though I’m kind of only interested in luffy but that’s just bc I’m hyperfixating)

5. Beyond blood by Justcallmecookie [fanfiction]

This one has permanently marked me and I will never forget about it. It’s about Luffy running away from the government and trying to find Ace after they find out he is Dragon’s son and call on a buster call on Dawn island. Sadly it’s been discontinued but it’s still a really good plot, story and writing overall

Though there is this fic (Blood is thicker then water by ImHyperfixatingdontBotherMe [ao3]) that is inspired by this one and kind of taking their own spin on it. It’s still ongoing and I do recommend it even though it doesn’t have the same vive as the original

6. Colour the ocean red (to prove my love to you) by Epiphany_Of_SummerSunsets [ao3]

It’s super cute with mer teen Shanks and little Luffy, I love their interactions and with there were more fics about them. I also like the mystery with the murders going around and the fact that they made Rouge Garps daughter. Really in love with the whole Monkey D. Gol D. family with asl + Buggy

7. Luffy is Lost in The MHA/BNHA world, but he gets taken in by the Yaoyorozu's and attends school by AndreiStrambeanu [ao3]

…listen, hear me out..

Okay the title is pretty self explanatory and it may not be everyone’s cup of tea but I was bored and it was entertaining. The writing is kinda ass sometimes and there are a lot of plotholes (of which the author is concious about and doesn’t give any fucks) but it IS the author’s first fic (at least published on ao3) so I’ll give them the pass. It is meant to entertain not be a magnum opus, and it does it’s purpose. It is also still ongoing so I’ll take whatever I can

8. Almost giving up before we’ve even started by Leohanan [ao3]

THIS ONE OMG 💞💞

Incredible piece of literature, I loved every second of it. Rouge adopting asl is the best plot and idea ever and I love it. AND ITS COMPLETE 10/10 would read again

8. Tempus Edax Rerum (I think that’s how it’s spelled) by appl_juice [ao3]

Really cute with little Shanks time traveling and ending up with the strawhats, it only has 4 chapters and unfortunately I think it has been discontinued but it had a really good plot and didn’t feel ooc which adds extra points

9. Oden’s eldest by Alexiledit [ao3]

I’ll be careful with this one cause I know the author is on tumblr

I really like it, but not for the fic itself unfortunately, but for the posts about it they have on their tumblr (which expand much more on the au). The fic has one chapter and I think it’s been discontinued, the writing isn’t magnificent but I like the plot. I’ve actually made several pieces of fanart bc this au stuck to my brain and refused to let go for some time. I have a bad habit of taking characters I love and putting them in already existent family dynamics with characters that have nothing to do with them, so I see why I loved this au so much

There are others like Old truths by GreaterAwareness [ao3] Flashy brotherhood by Airuna [ao3] and Tomorrow before yesterday beguins by Staryty [ao3] (this one I’m still halfway though) which have amazing plots and writing but I got kind of bored (I think bc they focused more on Ace or other characters other than Luffy and I exclusively read Luffy centric fics) but they are amazing anyway and should still be acknowledged like the rest.

This is not a tier list, I’m not ranking them in any order whatsoever. I just like ranting

[muthaz-rapapa]

Let’s talk TroPreCure! (^∀^ 🌺)

i’m so stupidly proud of this dumb pun “tropurikyua~”, hahahahaha

Last post of the year and wow is there are lot to be excited for!

I even had to make a list for the stuff I want to talk about and I’m sure I already forgot one or two things but we’ll get to them as we continue to float~ along the wave to February 28th, mmkay? :)

Now for what has peaked my interest so far. And yes, we have to talk about the following first:

1) HealPre the shortest Precure season??

Unless they plan for double features in February (which I doubt but you never know), HealPre is likely going to reach only 45 episodes long instead of the usual 48~50 before TroPre I’m using this shortening of the title for now so if there’s a better alternative, tell me and I’ll switch out begins its broadcast.

Understandable because the producers probably want to get back to their normal scheduling as soon as possible (toy sales, y’know) and I suspect pushing the start of the new season back by a month is the most they’re willing to compromise.

As for me, I’m quite happy about this since HealPre’s lost its hold on my attention a while ago so the sooner TroPre gets here, the better. Though the downside might be a scrambled climax and a rushed, underwhelming ending for HealPre (I dunno if it’s January’s titles that feel a bit messy or if the hiatus is still throwing me off) but whatever. We’ll refresh ourselves with the new blood Cures so it’s all good.

2) Tropical movie announced for Autumn 2021, no All Stars??

(source)

First saw this mentioned on Youtube somewhere but it’s all over the fandom forums by now. I mean, HealPre’s movie is set for March, the usual time slot for All Stars release. If Toei intended for there to be an All Stars in 2021, there’s no way they would announce the seasonal movie before it so speculations of them skipping it this year are probably true.

To squeeze it somewhere between March and October-ish would force them to readjust their budgets as well and I don’t think even Toei wants to go through that extra hassle after all the trouble the pandemic’s caused for everyone already. It’s just easier to resume All Stars in 2022.

That, and I think Laura being a major character in TroPre despite not having a Cure title (yet) would make for an awkward situation when the three latest teams gather so perhaps that’s also one of the reasons. But I’ll get back to Laura in a bit.

3) Cure Summer is a RAINBOW Cure

So god help me if I see anyone calling her a Pink Cure.

Yes, she’s the lead Cure for this season. NO, she is not a Pink Cure.

Look, even the official website has a rainbow overlay for her profile pic and text font while everyone else’s respective theme colors are a solid hue:

Therefore, RAINBOW.

In promotional material and merchandising, they’re probably going to advertise her primarily with pink bah and at worst, she might occasionally be labeled as a White Cure with multiple subcolors (her outfit is not pink-dominant) but definitely NOT. PINK.

...also, this goes without saying but f***yea, we finally got a lead Cure practically and unabashedly wearing the LGBTQ flag and you cannot tell me otherwise, Toei!

Own up to it! Declare Manatsu/Cure Summer as the Precure queer icon!

I’m not gonna stop yellin’ until you do! 😠

4) Laura = obvious midseason Cure is obvious

First of all, Laura is a babe. I already love her the best and she’s not even Precure yet. <3

Anyways, the set-up is pretty much in the description. Important main character who’s not a mascot, stated to have a self-confident personality and just speaks her mind (oooh, I like~ :D), magical/foreign being from another world looking for Precure to save her home, possesses her own special item(s), has aspirations to become the next Queen (so she’s a princess-candidate or something to that effect, I suppose).

We’ve seen various combinations of these traits in past midseason (and a few starter) Cures so nobody should be surprised when we all guessed that one of the Cures would be a real live mermaid.

The only question is why not just make Laura a Cure from the get-go if she’s introduced to us at the beginning (like Hime or Lala) and having a team of five with no unnecessary extra add-ons later on (like Smile).

Well, there’s a simple answer for that: formula.

Toei is afraid that if they don’t spit out some new animation sequence at the halfway and third quarter points of the show, the kids will lose interest and abandon the series altogether. Which means failed toy sales. Oh nooo... [/sarcasm]

...Yea. 

And this way they can also have Laura available in the Cure lineup for the next All Stars in 2022 instead of making her sit the fight out if we were going to have one in 2021. I’m convinced that’s gotta be one of the reasons. *shrug*

But ok, whatever. Her debut is gonna be later, that’s all. She’s a delayed Cure.  Midseason Cure, same difference.

Moving along to the more important stuff now like what’s her Cure name gonna be, y/y?

Well, knowing Toei, a translation of the term “mermaid” into another language is the most predictable route even though we already have a Cure Mermaid. Not like that ever stopped them from repeating words before (ex. Cure Happy vs Cure Felice). Though if they do go down that road, I hope they opt for the Spanish/Italian “sirena” and not the French “sirène” because the latter sounds too close to how Cure Selene is pronounced in Japanese. And, putting it nicely, we all know Japanese pronunciation of foreign words is as off kilter as can be.

Hell, even the the Portuguese “sereia” sounds aesthetic as hell so it’d be nice if they can just remember there are other languages that exist out there besides Japanese, English and French when making the final decision at the writing table! *stomps foot* >:/

Alternatively, “nereid” or “naiad” are good choices too but they remind me too much of Greek myths and Laura’s from the Grand Ocean which covers more than just a couple of seas (Greece is surrounded by three, btw) so...

I dunno. But whatever it’s gonna be, she’s definitely got a strong association with water and her powers will probably be based on that.

As for theme color, since there’s noticeably no blue or green Cure in the starter lineup, it’s likely she will take up that spot when she debuts around ep 20.

Pink is also open since Cure Summer, again, is technically not a Pink Cure and Laura’s hair and tail fin are hot and light pink respectively but looking at Laura’s design and concept, does anyone seriously believe that?

Her upper torso consists of aquamarine while the body of her tail is definitely some shade of cyan, implying they’re aiming for somewhere around the middle of green and blue on the lighter spectrum.

And yea, I’m aware that green and blue are considered exchangeable in some perspectives with how close some of their shades are to each other but officially, I think Laura’s gonna be grouped with the Green Cures.

Cuz of the hair. If Laura’s gonna keep it the same or a similar shade after transforming, that is. The Blues have always had cool-colored hair so putting Laura in with them might disrupt that harmony whereas if you put her with the few Greens there are (including Parfait), she’d fit right in.

I mean, we’ll see but that makes the most sense, doesn’t it?

On another note, I just want to say that I love how they added frills to her arms instead of letting her elbows go bare naked. It definitely makes her look more like a genuine mermaid than if she didn’t have them (remember, half fish doesn’t mean half the body :P).

5) Magical Items

Frankly, I’m tired of seeing the transformation device being a compact again even though one of the main motifs is make-up this season. But at least, as far as Precure compacts goes, the Tropical one is my favorite cuz of how cute and delightfully colorful its toy version looks! So I guess I’m okay with it.

The Heart Rouge Rod, though? ...I dunno. I think it would’ve been fine without that...straw (?) jutting out at the top. It looks weird, doesn’t it look weird? :S

As for the collectible clip-ons, I can live without those for the rest of my life. Yeesh.

Laura’s items, the Aqua Pot and the Ocean Prism Mirror.

Again with the portable, travel-size housing. *sigh* 😩

Alright, I can let this year slide cuz Laura (I’m so soft for her, omg) probably won’t be getting legs for 20 weeks so she’s got to move about on land somehow. But unless they’re really thinking about turning this idea of carrying your apartment around in your bag/pocket/purse into a reality (cuz that would be effin’ awesome), please be more creative with your toys.

On the other hand, I’m much more interested in the Ocean Prism Mirror but from what Kusyami (the Precure merchandise reviews I follow on Youtube) said in his latest vid, this is the ED dance item so don’t know if it’ll actually have an relevance to the story or not. But I did hear him mention it having something to do with the Queen as well and since Laura wishes to become Queen, maybe it’ll be important after all? Maybe it’s her transformation device?

That’d be super cool. Let’s continue the trend of the midseason Cure having a different transformation item than the starters. Honestly, we should alternate every other year or two but we’ve gone three seasons with all of them using the same henshin gimmicks up till HealPre and I just want a break from that.

6) Fin sleeves??

These look so impractical for combat so maybe it’s exclusive to group attacks.

And/or a sort of precursor to the super forms?

*GASP* Does that mean they all eventually turn into mermaids? 🤩

7) Yui finally became Precure!! 😭

lol, it’s all crack from this point on so don’t take it too seriously but man, after Yuni’s deceptive braids, I thought I wasn’t gonna see anything that reminded me of Yui for a while and lo behold, Sango.

kehehehehehe xD;

Though Yui might be closer to Minori in terms of personal interests (fairytales and storybooks).

8) Akira, the actual Onee-chan version

I didn’t think this when I first saw her but once I read “Onee-san” in her profile, there’s no saving you now. Sorry, Asuka. 😅

Also, damn, do her sandals make her feet look big! Compare them to the heels she wears as Flamingo. Are they even the same?! lololol

9) ...this sounds awfully familiar...

Translation:

Tokimeku Tokonatsu! [Exciting/Thrilling Everlasting Summer!] Cure Summer! Kirameku Hoseki! [Sparkling Jewel!] Cure Coral!  Hirameku Fuurutsu! [Flashing Fruit!] Cure Papaya!

Japanese reiteration:

Mallow/Mao: Pink no tokimeki! Lillie: Blue no kirameki! Lana/Suiren: Yellow no kagayaki!

[somewillwin]

Is called brilha la luna, is a brazilian musical and the story was made based on the songs of a brazilian pop group from 2000/2010 called rouge (I had no idea who they were and that the songs were theirs I found out only after watching the musical), MC is this girl called Luna, she has lived her whole life in this alternative hippie community in the middle of the forest, until one day she meets this traveler named Diego, she has her first kiss with him, and falls completely in love (seriously she was talking about marriage, and they've known each other for like a week at most), but since he doesn't live there (and because he wants to get rid of her ) he leaves after giving her a love letter, but before it she overhear him talking on the phone the address of the place he was going to, and coincidentally he was going to the same place where a mystery donor checks came from every month to help the community, and she has no idea who this donor is, all she knew was that her father used to exchange letters with them very often, and that's it (her father died recently, and he was the leader of the community, her mother also was, but she die when the MC was five years old).

After that, she decides to leave her community for the first time and follow the address, and that end up being the address of a dancing and singing tv show studio, and because she has no idea about anything, she just casually walks in when the show is on live, and the host pretends that she is the fifth surprise finalist of the program, for fear of causing a mess since the show was already going through some difficulties, so she sings a song, the public loves her, and she ends up entering this competition by accident.

And the girls that I mention before, are two of the finalists who were already on the program.

Omg…. I’ll try to find it with subtitles 🥲🥲🥲

I’m already feeling like it’s gonna be impossible

[moonraccoon-exe]

(1) Coonie! You started playing DAI?! You just killed me with happiness. How absolutely awesome is that! That is one of my most loved game series and one of my friends plays it now too? Aaaaaah! *cuddles the hell out of you* And you want to romance Cullen? He was my first romance when I played the game and by now I got everyone. :3

HEYA, PERIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!! o(≧▽≦)o

MY DEAR PERIDOT!

*GLOMPS*

Hi, hello!!! I’m happyto see you around, buddy! :3

And yes, I started playing DA: I! I don’t remember where I left it when you sent this message, but now I’m at Skyhold, just reached it. Haven’t gone out yet, as I’m looking for everyone to talk with them first and, of course, exploring this maze. Aaah, I feel I’m missing places every time! 

GASPS

YOU LOVE DRAGON AGE!?!? THAT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOL!!!!! ZOMG AAAAHHH THAT IS AWESOME!!  (ノ*°▽°*)

I always heard about them and always wanted the games, but never had the consoles. Not until Inquisition, at least! Still, I wish I could play DA and DAII someday, somehow. Akljasfjdgklah falkjf, this is so epic aaahhh o(>ω

Yeah, I want to romance Cullen! Honestly he was not in my options until that first sweet reaction when hee gets flustered. I thought he would be cliché prince charming who would laugh it off and be like “Yeh, I know, I’m so sexy”, but instead he went !? D: zomgzgomzgom and that just  killed me. At first I had regretted not making a male avatar because I LOVE CASSANDRA SO MUCH (and later on, Dorian!), but Commander Tenderness and Shyness is really worth it aahhh ;A; I LOVE HIM. 

[Adding a keep reading, buddy!]

I heard that about how every character has a deeper side to themseles, yeah!! Well, not everyone; I read Cullen doesn’t really have much to say, he’s a vanilla sweet fairytale romance XD But I discover more about him nonetheless, internet was lying. Like, how he accepted the mages? It was such a mature response and reaction. And I discovered more about Sera, too! At first she was coming off as too rude, too selfish. But upon reaching Skyhold, she’s behaved...a bit differently. Still that rude and fun creature, but you can see her kind side too :)

I read with no spoilers that Blackwall, though...man! They say he has quite a secret. Didn’t want to spoil it, I’ll get there! But yeh, I’m curious to discover more about everyone and everything. I can’t get tired of a damn good story!!

I’m having more than just fun, I am!! It’s INCREDIBLE. This is absolutely my jam; the  lore and the music and the characters, the whole universe is exactly teh stuff I like. Sounds like your jam, too, right? Dragons, elves, medieval-fantasy setting. Damn right!

And yep, I made a female elf! I spent SO MUCH TIME choosing between every option; male or female? Human, elf, qunari, or dwarf? Rogue, warrior, or mage? LIKE BRUH I DON’T KNOW I WANT TO BE EVERYTHING AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

But I ended up choosing a female elf as a rouge (rouge? rogue? always mix those words up asjdakdlgj). I hope I get a nice view at some point so I can take a screenshot and show you guys! AND YES OMG YOUR ELF AND MINE COULD BE FRIENDS AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D That would be AWESOME!

I’m having such a blast even without the romance part!! But yeh, I’m definitely going for Cullen, as much as everyone else is doing pretty faces at me. SWEET COMMANDER SHYNESS, BRACE YOURSELF, YOU ADORABLE IDIOT. 

And yes, I’m definitely going to share my thoughts! I wanted to do that last night because MAN, WAS IT EPIC, LIKE WITH CAPITAL E. EPIC. BEYOND EPIC. You know, that first attack at Haven? I wanted to rant a lot ever since that time travel with Dorian at the castle with Alexius and everything because FUCK ME THAT WAS SO EPIC.

THE WAY LELIANA STAYED FIRM AND WAS RECITING AS SHE SHOT HER ARROWS? DAMN DORIAN SO CHARMING AND COOL? 

And then like it was not enough, I got the MOST EPIC SCENE SO FAR, the attack at Haven, the avalanche, Cullen being A BADASS, Corifeus, the escape, THE DAMN PRAYER. YOU KNOW WHEN YOU’RE AT CAMP AND THE COUNCIL IS ARGUING, THEN YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REUNITE THEM AND MOTHER GISELLE STARTS CHANTING AND EVERYONE JOINS OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

GOOSEBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMPS!!!

Askljdlakdgjalkfjaf but I’m ranting here, ahahah!!! Gotta rant in another post as to not spam you here and so that everyone reads my thoughts too :3 I mean, those that want to read them, at least, haha!!

What I was saying is that, I wanted to rant last night, but between answering asks and queueing, I got tired and went to bed instead of making that post. Oops. 

But yep,  defnitely gonna share my thoughts with you all :3

ANYWAYS, DEAR PERIDOT, 

thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much for this lovely ask!! I’m SO HAPPY to know you play and love DA:I too! It’s such an EPIC game zomg, I’m loving it SO MUCH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA, and it only made me EXTRA HAPPY to know you love it to!!!

Aaaah, thank you LOTS for this ask, dear Peridot. I’m happy to read you, and to find something else we both enjoy. Also love to hear your thoughts and everything! Thanks as well for reading me rant :3

Dear buddy, I hope you’re having a MOST FANTASTIC day!! Receive lotsa maccoonie hugs, and talk to you later!

Sonic Forces Japanese trailer First Thoughts //SPOILERS//

Well I just saw this trailer and I gotta say... I’m super hyped for this game right now. Even more than before just because I saw that Silver seems to have a big role in the story. But let’s leave my fangirl thoughts for later.

First of all I need to say that I’m just going to talk about the story, not the gameplay, since I expect it to be the same as the other recent games,with the exception of the custom character. 

Also sorry if I make mistakes, my language is Spanish, not English.

Okay. Now we have a better explanation of what Infinite is. An experiment made by Eggman to rule the world. I’m pretty sure that triangle thingy is the Phantom Ruby from Sonic Mania.

The thing that really intrigues me is: Infinite was a normal “Mobian” before or Eggman created him from the beginning? From the first images of the trailer it seemed like the doctor tried many times and failed, what leads me to believe that maybe the second option is the correct one. Even tho, the theme for this character tell us otherwise, that he was someone before, I’m really confused.

Why three days? what’s gonna happen in three days? This is bigger than some giant robots destroying a city, he uses the word “dissapear”, is he going to make the entire world explode? Maybe brake the space and time continuity with Infinite’s or the Phantom Ruby’s powers? omg idk

Why is Infinite so mad with everyone, specially the custom character? More proof that they met each other before? 

Just like in the Infinite’s trailer, Shadow’s eyes look weird

But in the Villains Trailer he seemed normal. Maybe Sega thought it was going to be too obvious to show this so early. 

This eyes make me believe that he might be under some mind control, just like in this image with Metal Sonic

Maybe not mind control, but that aura is only related to Infinite’s powers, what if he’s controlling all the villains? Why he isn’t controlling Sonic and the resistance? That would be way too easy, and maybe he want’s to fight him, maybe it’s all just a game for him.

Oh- oh!

YAS! SONIC TIME!

Nah really, Sonic appears so suddenly here, and the custom character looks so surprised, and the thing that in the resistance the blue hedgehog is nowhere to be seen

Sonic disappeared, nobody knows what to do and the only people that seem to want to fight are our main characters, not even Tails that later in the trailer we see all scared and with a bunch of random people doing nothing.

Where the hell was Sonic while all this chaos spread in the world? 

Quick note here, this might be the first time we see more mobians like the main characters as citizens of a city, all this time we could only see humans that made no sense. and they kinda look like the people from Sonic Boom

Can we appreciate how beautiful Silver looks when he’s playing hero all serious? 

For real tho, It’s been years since he participated in the main plot of a game, I’m really happy.

This might be like his redemption from Sonic 06, finally he came back from the future knowing what to do and he’s here to help. Yay!

Where is blaze? Is she going to appear?? I really hope so, if his is all about dimensions or time travel stuff she must be here

O M G. IS THAT AN ARMY OF FAN CHARACTERS IN THE BACKGROUND?

Also Rouge is there! Finally! But where did she came from? like, she just came one day, saw how everything went to hell while she wasn’t around and decided to help the others?

I wanna re-draw this image with my Galaxy.

Okay, long post. Bye bye

A Spark of Ember

By: Cutegirlmayra (Assisted Story for Marydragneell)

It was the dark of night.

I guess you could say she had been traveling for hours, or at least, still on the trail of G.U.N.

Man, where had the time flown off too?

She paced the dark night, strung with fireflies and lost in her thoughts. The only thing pulling her forward was the dirt in her nails from digging the children’s graves before swearing she’d seek revenge.

‘It shouldn’t have happened that way.’ Her teeth clenched, gripping an object in her hand, round and with the inscription G.U.N. ‘I won’t lose more to those… those monsters!’

***

Maria ran through the ARK, excitedly racing away from something. She was young, full of energy, and wasn’t afraid to skid her knee on the cold steel of the floating spacecraft.

She laughed and laughed, as two figures followed behind her, open-eyed and seeming rather calm though the girl was obviously elated at the game.

“Tag me! Tag me~” she chimed, giggling some more as she twirled around.

One figure looked to see the other’s eyes fixated on Maria’s youthful beauty, her innocence and charms, and smiled.

“Maria!” the figure called, racing even faster, breathing so much harder now, as she reached forward to tag her.

“STOP!”

Maria and the two figures paused, scared out of their game as a large, round man walked into view. His towering figure had his arms wrapped behind his back, his glasses gleaming in the vast sparkling lights of deep space behind him.

“How many times must I remind you.” He handed Maria a vile, and wearily, she trembled and stepped back.

“But grandfather…” she pleaded, before he shook his head, and bent down to her. His mustache moved with each tender word he spoke.

“Now, Maria. You were coughing up blood last night… you must take your medicine and rest more than play. I know you want to play, and feel exceptionally invincible with Shadow and Ember by your side… but you must remember…”

He then looked with a shaded stare to his creations… less tenderly than he had the child…

“They are still dangerous.”

The figure held her hand… stepping back and looking in the light with widened eyes.

Claws…

The other figure entered the darkness, “We can’t actually play with her, Ember.”

In horror and sorrow, the figure began to cry, and lifted a claw to touch it, unsure of what it was.

She flinched back as it scratched her, unaware of her body or her abilities.

She looked to the other figures hands, and shouted, “Why were you created differently!? You can play with her!”

“…No, Ember.” Shadow stepped into the light, his eyes glaring down at her in all seriousness. “I can’t.” he lifted his head up, pride and protection filling his brilliant red eyes.

“We never will.”

***

Ember had crash landed in a separate pod from Shadow. Gerald had sent her down first, having created her to protect rather than cure humanity, as was Shadow’s true design.

In all honesty, she was created as a companion to assist Shadow… but since she couldn’t find him or even know if he existed anymore, she wandered around the earth in search of anyone who needed help.

Her memory of everything was perfect. As was part of her creation, she was a walking scrapbook of every detail she had ever witnessed in her life.

She had stumbled upon a village, who accepted and welcomed her in.

Every day she would venture out to gather food and supplies for them, beginning to learn more about the world Maria loved so much, and happily did her designed purpose of watching over the earth and keeping its people safe.

Until that one day…

***

“Sing, sing!”

Ember, an immortal wolf with dark grey hair, red streaks much like Shadow’s, who she considered her brother; white tips on her ears, feet, and hands, eyes a deeper purple than amethyst, was given new clothes and a home. It was more than she could ever ask for.

“I… could maybe sing… one song~” she winked and stuck her tongue out to the side. The kids all cheered, as the adults smiled and nodded their heads.

Sweet is the winter,…

Calm is the thunder…

And don’t you cry~

Mother is here now…

To bring in the spring and create the things of life~

Rain, rain, rain…

Do you remember the warm rain?

Be patient, my child, and sing without guile

Bittersweet is the spring, that carries in the breeze…

Calmed by the melting snow…

And don’t~ you~ cry~

Before Maria would go to sleep each night, she would ask Ember to sing to her. And soon after that, Maria would sing it to Shadow before he was placed back in his experimentation pod for further study and… ‘fixing’.

Ember’s tail flicked as her face lit up from the children cheering and begging for her to sing it again, but the adults hurried them to bed.

The orphans… on the other hand, wouldn’t stop pleading.

The orphans were rumored to have parents who funded the ARK project, since the pod she escaped in was programmed to land somewhere ‘safe’ she figured it meant one of the funders.

Then… that horrible night… a night she wished to simply forget.

But such was her curse…

To never… forget.

There was smoke everywhere.

G.U.N had tracked down the children, sent to the village for safe keeping… and performed… a horrible, horrible deed…

“No…” Ember dropped all the supplies she was carrying, seeing the village on fire.

“No…” She dropped to her knees when her feet carried her faster than she thought possible to the orphanage.

Blood.

Crimson blood mingled with ash and smoke.

Her claws gripped into the floorboards.

“NOOO!!!”

She tore into them, as something on her chest burst free from it’s hiding and shined brightly around her.

A dark aura rose.

She had failed her purpose…

She was created to protect humanity…

She had failed.

“We can’t actually play with her, Ember.”

Her eyes jutted open, having not realized what she had done.

“We never will.”

She had taken down the whole building. Shredding the beds, ripping the burning roof and ceiling down.

She cried and cried… staring up at the smoky sky, grey as her fur…

Then, she felt something like a ‘tink!’ hit the ground hard and roll towards her feet.

With her horror-stricken eyes, she slowly gestured her head down to it.

Her eyes flinched in a sharpened focus at the words inscribed on the smoke-grenade.

G.U.N

***

“I’ll kill them.”

She huffed, leaning a bruised arm against a nearby tree, and looking out at the G.U.N headquarters.

“I’ll… urk… make them pay.”

She was tried, weary, and but her silliness never stopped coming. She leaned her head back, “Then I’ll buy ice cream~” she laughed, in a maniacal, broken-spirited way before collapsing to the ground.

“50 years… and you’d think Gerald would have considered putting some healing properties into me too.” She struggled, but quickly lifted herself back up again.

She hadn’t eaten in days.

***

“Sir! There’s been a disturbance in sector B!”

“What in blue blazes is going on here!?”

“General it’s… it’s a girl!”

“A girl!? What the devil… Someone’s Ex?”

“Sir… she’s…”

The Solder froze at the monitors, shaking as his mouth and knees wouldn’t move any further.

“…Crazy Ex?”

The general looked old, his short white beard lifted to the side as did his confusion.

“Give it here!”

He shoved the boy aside and then gawked at the image.

Blurred and with a lot of static, you could make out the tail and ears of a figure moving quickly and jumping around the scene, attacking and knocking men and robots alike down with a single strike.

“…She’s fast!”

“No… teleporting.”

“What?”

The General quickly walked down the stairs of his upper division computer-room, pointing and shouting at people in various desks below them. “Get me a Chaos reading on that girl. I want to know what this thing wants. What’s her power level? Do we have Rouge on standby?”

“Sir! Rouge is currently on route to cracking Project Inferno.” A woman stood perfectly straight, having a head-mic that spiraled in a cord around her neck before curving upon her cheek.

He grabbed his hand and threw it against the railing, leaning on it.

Then… slowly, in his moment of feeling trapped… he turned around. “… Put her image on the big screen.”

The soldier looked to his commanding officer, who nodded. He wearily, with sweat dripping down the side of his forehead and cheek, flicked the switch and hit a button.

Ember’s face came in on a close-up, her teeth rearing open to chomp down on a robot, shaking the disk-like gun from it’s small pole and shaking it till it ripped free.

“…More like a monster than little girl.” The General scoffed… before putting his hat back on, and adjusting it.

“…Bring out…”

“Project Shadow.”

(My thoughts: While writing this first chapter I wanted to get the information the reader needed as soon as possible. When going back for edits, I’d like to organize it to be more compelling, but with so much data on her, I wanted to make sure the essential of ‘need to know’ basis was there. I’ll include more based on the Patron’s wishes, but for now, I really wanted to show Ember as loving, conflicted, protective, wild, and still a goofball as her description made me believe she is. I included some minor details about powers, but I want to expand upon them on the following pages. This is simply my first few chapters in introduction before moving on to ‘rising action’ where she will be reunited with Shadow, who won’t remember her until she triggers a memory, which is part of her job/task. I wanted to stay true to her, but leave her as a mystery the audience still wants to figure out, and learn more about. This was the ‘interest’ and ‘hook’ of the story, something I hope to go back and work with if the Patron has any further comments for. : ) Overall, I deeply enjoyed my first attempt at writing for Ember the Immortal Wolf, and hope many others will enjoy her story as I continue writing it!)

The Ashes of Embers

Ember teleported, feeling the radiating warmth of the lost Chaos Emerald Gerald Robotnik stole from Angel Island long ago…

It was imbedded deep in her chest, peeking out on occasion, though she never fully knew the extent of its power.

During times of hardship, she’d sometimes blackout and awake to see her glowing… but what did it mean?

Chaos Emeralds weren’t common knowledge, even to Gerald.

Ember simply tried to harness or ignore it, worried it may control her more than she let on.

She knocked out more robots and security cameras, before the whole sector started shutting down.

She looked around her, her eyes shifting as the lights cut off and large, metallic doors slammed in her wake.

“…So, we’re playing hide and seek in the dark, eh?” She smiled, but a small bit of sweat trinkled down her spine.

What were they playing at?

She couldn’t trust them. She couldn’t even trust the dark. They would play dirty… they always did.

Suddenly, a green glow shined through in lines above the ceiling, and she cautiously looked up, before jumping back in fright.

“Ah!” she put her hands up over the front of her head, trying to defend herself if something should jump down from the air-conditioning units above.

The barred lining above did get dented and hit, before crashing down, along with some ceiling debris, as a figure leaped down and threw out his arm in the dusty green light.

“Chaos Spear!”

“W-woah!”

Instinctively, she raced on all fours away from the explosion, only seeing the shadows of the spears and carefully tumbling into the side of the adjacent wall to avoid injury.

“Offph!” she landed upside, her butt crashing against the wall and taking most of the damage. “Yyyyyeeee-ooooww…” she groaned in some pain, her eye twitching a bit as she turned herself over on the ground.

Getting to her knees, she heard a gun cock, and frightfully looked up with eyes shrinking in terror.

She saw the dust settle… as the front of the gun pierced her vision and hovered steadily in front of her face.

“Don’t move.”

She obeyed, but her eyes couldn’t help and wander up to the figure as the green light still beamed a beautiful aura around him.

She suddenly recognized the red stripes… the hedgehog quills… the serious frown.

“…Shadow?”

She couldn’t believe her eyes!

He raised an eyebrow to her.

“Shadow! It’s me..! It’s-!”

She moved to her legs.

Then a gunshot.

Her vision went blurry as something warm and wet traveled down her leg…

***

“Ember, come with me!”

“But, Doctor, what about Mari-!”

“Shadow’s taking care of her, you must be preserved! For his and her sake!”

The two traveled desperately down a long corridor, on the opposite wing of what they feared were the other G.U.N solders hunting down Shadow and chasing Maria.

Ember would have never guessed the sound of the gunshot, nor the escape pod was only holding one experiment… and not another human life.

“Doctor…” she saw him panting, and realized he wasn’t going to make it.

She tried to take the initiative, gripping his hand tighter that was holding hers and racing ahead of him. “Come on!”

He looked to her in amazement.

“Why… why are you so determined to..?”

An explosion happened by the right side of their faces, and the Doctor was having a hard time stabilizing himself.

“We have to keep moving!” Ember encouraged, her heart full as she dared not turn around to see him suffering to run any longer.

When just in front of the escape chamber, Gerald collapsed, holding his side.

She spun around and gripped his arm with both her hands this time, being careful to not dig her claws into his fragile, old skin.

“Gerald, please!”

“…Gerald?” He looked up at her, “My dear girl…”

Her eyes began to water.

“You’ve always known… you can call me… Grandpa.”

Her eyes widened.

She thought only Maria could address him as true family.

He always seemed so strict…

She started sniffling as her nose became filled with her emotion as well, and in her embarrassment, she shook her head and tears flew everywhere as she cried out.

“Don’t leave me behind!”

“My creation… how beautiful you’ve grown… but I’m afraid it’s me you’ll be leaving behind.”

Another explosion, and this time, they were both thrown against the wall. Pieces of the ARK crash against them, and when Ember came too, footsteps were already approaching.

“Doc… Granpa…”

She wearily summoned the last of her strength, pushing the metallic pieces off of her and digging ferociously through the pile of debris.

“GRANDPA!!!”

When she found his face, her eyes shone with gratitude for seeing him still alive.

“Grandpa…”

“Y-you must go…”

She clenched her teeth. That shine fading.

She looped an arm over her shoulder and hoisted him up, carrying him fully over her shoulders and racing into the room.

“Coordinates…” she stated.

He didn’t respond, just looking at her blankly…

“Coordinates!” she turned more fiercely to his face, demanding he let her save him.

“… 0.003. 27. The planet Earth.”

She typed such things in, and it looked like a speed-dial for earth.

“…You’ll be safe there?”

“…”

He looked down.

“Gerald?”

She looked worriedly up at him, before shaking her head.

“I mean..! …Grandpa.”

“…Hurh..”

He moved himself up, and she lightly set him down, allowing him to lean on the console.

He rested a hand by his chest, and the other… tenderly upon her cheek.

“If only I had the chance to tell you this…with Shadow by your side, so that he may too know how I truly feel.”

“…W-… what are you saying?”

“Open the door!”

Ember gasped, flinging her tail back as she turned around, squatting on her knees before racing forward to grip a large, angular and pillared machine all the way around.

She grunted, squirmed, but her super strength came into play and she hoisted it up from it’s controls, which sparked around as she threw it at the door, causing a barricade.

“That won’t last long…” she feared, speaking out loud, and racing back to Robotnik.

“We have to put you in the escape pod!” she reached her arms out. “Please!”

“…If only Shadow was here…” His sorrowful voice pierced her fragile heart, and she felt the insult of a thousand needles upon a thousand swords rip into her being.

“…Why… Am I not good enough?” Her hands balled into fist, shaking…

She lowered her head, “Why did Maria always favor Shadow?... cause he could hold her? And I could hurt her?” she looked at her clawed-hands. “Why… why did you make me in the image of a monster!?” she started to cry, before Gerald lifted his hands to her face.

“My dear… I created you to scare away the evil of humanity… you’re more beautiful now than I could have ever imagined your design to take form in.”

She slowly opened her shaking eyes, “Grandpa…”

“We’re moving in! All units standby!”

The door was being budged open by powerful hits, freaking Ember out as she turned around, but Gerald moved forward, pushing her back little by little while he moved on his knees.

“You’re all humanity has left in this time of cruelty and panic. Find Shadow. Protect Maria and all humanity. Don’t let my research die in vain. And with all the love of a father… know that I created you and Shadow with the intent to serve and provide humanity a service for the future! You are its last hope! Do this for me..! Do not fail me! Do not fail Maria!”

Her eyes widened, “Granpa…” he shoved her into the escape pod, and pulled down the lever.

“Heh…” he smirked.

“I..! I love y-!”

The pod dropped, as Ember watched the men storm the room with explosives and gunfire. “Drop to your knees-!”

***

“It was over instantly.”

“That’s our Shadow!”

Ember slowly rotated her head, realizing her since of gravity was off, and looked at her restrains on a tilted countertop.

“W-…Where the heck am I?!”

“Silence.”

Her ears recognized the familiar sound and turned to Shadow. Her eyes trembled with joy. “Shadow!”

He looked at her… but there wasn’t anything in his expression that showed the same familiarity.

“Shadow?” She became confused, had they brainwashed him?

“State your purpose.” A man approached her.

She growled, her tail flicking around in annoyance. “To seek revenge for all those innocent children and families you slaughtered to cover up the ARK incident 50 years ago!”

Shadow’s eyes widened, as he unfolded his arms to grip his head.

He seemed in his own world, trembling slightly as he seemed to have a triggered headache.

“Impossible! How can you say such a thing!?”

“As if you don’t know!” She spat out, hitting a guy in the eye.

“My eye!” he screamed and raced out the window.

“Someone get that sergeant a napkin and a new pair of privates, private.”

“I know what I saw…”

She snarled down, glaring at the man speaking.

“You wimps can’t even admit your wrongs!!!”

She struggled from her binds, “RAhhh…!”

“Secure her soldier!”

“Touch me and I’ll rip your arm off with one fell bite!”

The soldier stepped back as she clamped her mouth down with a nip his way.

“Shadow, teach our ‘guest’ some manners.” The man folded his arms.

“…Shadow?”

He didn’t look at him.

“…Shadow! For pete’s sake!”

“…No.”

Shadow rose his head up, fire in his eyes.

“For Maria’s sake…”

“What?”

Shadow pulled up the gun.

“What on earth are you doing!?”

The men stepped back, all aiming their weapons to Shadow.

“What on earth indeed.”

He smirked and aimed up.

He shot a sprinkler-system, causing the rest to go off and then started fighting the men in the room.

They tried to fire, but the water made their gunpowder moist, leaving the guns useless.

“Darn!” the general cried out, before being knocked down.

Shadow turned to Ember.

She held her breath a second, before waving her tail out as if saying ‘Hello, remember me?’ as he raised his arm across his chest.

“Chaos…”

She started panicking, humorously wiggling and shaking in her now cold restraints.

“Spear!”

He shot out some spears that cut her restrains clear-clean off her skins, and she happily leaped down from the counter.

“You do remember me-!”

She went to hug him, but he slammed a hand in her face, and threw her over his shoulder, carrying her out as he blasted the door down.

“Nooope. I think you don’t.”

She blinked her eyes in silly understanding then.

Maybe he had brain damage?

But with his fast recovery…

She then looked to her side, and realized her injury had been patched up and healed as well.

“Phew…”

She was glad something was done to it before it got infected and polluted her recovery.

“Stop them!”

Shadow raised up the Chaos Emerald, as she noticed it was similar to hers…

There was a huge missile that blasted through the water at them.

“Hang on!” Ember, even stationed on his shoulder, still summoned a bubbled-shield around her and Shadow, her emerald glowing from her concealed chest, and guarded them against the blast.

He looked over to her, “…Hmph.” Then away.

“Ah, don’t tell you weren’t impressed.” She looked cockily over to him, waiting for him to thank her, but it never came.

“Woah! Is it possible you got even more serious with dementia?”

“Chaos Control!” Shadow teleported them away, as G.U.N soldiers blocked their every move.

“Dang it!” The general raced out, holding his disabled gun. “She had to mention Code Blue!”

***

(Author’s note: Although this second chapter carries the amount paid for, I decided to give the Patron more for her money. Enjoy! :D I also really liked giving her a silly side, along with an interesting and compelling backstory!)

Shadow dropped Ember down roughly to the ground, and walked towards a tree upon a hill, before turning back to her, the wind rapidly pressing against the two of them.

His quills moved swiftly in the wind, but his face remained stationary.

“Who are you? And how do you know about ARK?”

Ember rubbed her head, “Ouch… can’t you be easier on me? I’m your sister after all.” She sighed, dropping her head. “You always did play rough.”

“Sister? No such thing.” He raised an eyebrow, before turning fully to face her. “Speak up… I have no time for-“

“As far as I’m concerned, you have time to bake as many cakes as you want and eat them all on different days too.”

He seemed confused, unsure of her riddle, as she waited to see if he would laugh, but then knew he never would.

She got up, holding out her hands. “My name is Ember. I was created with you. To be a aid for you and protect humanity. I’ve failed protecting humanity… but maybe I can still help you.”

She then walked forward, cautiously as he seemed to be looking for any sign of lies.

“It’s hard for me to trust people… I’m sure, with whatever you went through, it’s just as hard. Tell me what happened to you and Maria, and I’ll relay everything.”

His eyes looked down, a deep painful sorrow before back up at her, “...What do you mean… relay?”

“Heh.” She smiled, “The word you should get hooked on is… everything. Thus, why I emphasized it.” She joked a little, before straightened up and stretching a bit. “Alright, alright. Here goes nothing.”

She leaned forward, hands on her hips, looking him straight in the eye as she tipped her boots up slightly, trying to look cute and sister-like. “I have a perfect memory. I can remember everything I’ve ever seen. The joy outweighs the sorrow, the anger… but family triumphant over all my memories… no matter what they are. Or how tragic they appear.”

She took a deep breath, leaning up. “Shadow The Hedgehog.” She out stretched her hand to him again.

There was a long pause…

“I’m your family.”

(This was all that was paid for, plus the tip! I would like to remind you to please send me a link where you post this, and also if you could give me a review of your experience with me and the product, I would be very appreciative! As always, you must keep my name and who made this product for you on the document. If you post it anywhere, I have to be listed with it. And please send me a link cause that’s always fun to show-off something I’m proud of making XD I hope you enjoyed it! I really liked fiddling with Ember and figuring out how to organize her backstory for you. You can always pay for me to continue this story, too. So there’s that option. Thank you and I hope you’re satisfied with your purchase! Ember is so interesting because of her emotions being so complexed. For one, she’s kind and silly, but on the other hand, she’s got a darker tone that can almost match Shadow’s. It’s fun to play with those complicated emotions and I really gravitated towards the emerald in her chest and also her detailed memories. Flashbacks would be so common, in my logic anyway, if you had a perfect memory of everything; mostly cause everything would trigger it! Shadow gets triggered a lot, I figured Ember would get triggered even more so. Thank you and I hope to work with you in the future as well! :D If there’s any concerns or things you want me to elaborate on, I’d be happy to go back and review this rough draft.

[chiruchill-blog]

How well do you know your best friend?

I was tagged by @raindrop-rouge, and will be answering about her! <3 Thanks for your answers, you’re pretty much spot on! :D Both our answers will be thoroughly discussed when I’ve posted this, of course! 1. What is your best friend’s dream job, and why? I’m pretty sure her dream job is to be an actress, she’s also said she really wants a job that pays enough for her to have a huge, modern apartment (on the top floor?) ;D Her current job should lead to that eventually!

2. What is their biggest pet peeve, and why do you think that is?

People walking slowly! Probably because she’s always rushin’ and being super productive!

3. What is their favourite TV series (live action)?

Live action... I’m not sure! She’s been watching Dancing with the Stars a lot lately! I literally can’t think of anything. Penny Dreadful? Once Upon a Time, hahaha.

4. What is their favourite TV series (animated)?

I’m gonna say Shingeki no Kyojin! Though she’s also talked a lot about Yuri on Ice, Free, and uhhh, some volleyball anime, I think? But I’m preeeeetty sure #1 is Shingeki no Kyojin!

5. What does your best friend value most in life, and why? (Do you think they value most what they say they do, or something else?)

She really values her brother, more than anyone I’ve ever known cares about their siblings, which is super cute :D She wants for just enough to be comfortable in life (which goes against her wish to have a huge apartment, I know, that’s more like a dream if she does get enough money for it, I think, not something she would value higher than her friends and family). Basically she wants to be independent.

6. How would you describe their style, and how would they describe it?

She has a dark, sort of gothic style. But she mixes it with cute stuff like colourful bows! I think she’d agree with me on that description. I hope :P

7. If you were to decorate a room for your best friend, what would it look like, and why?

It would be fuuuuuull of blankets and pillows and comfy things! A desk and some shelves for writing and reading. The walls would be decorated with pictures and other memories of her friends and her travels. And there would be tons of candles! Also plenty of mugs for tea and mugcakes ;D (did I just describe your apartment, I did, didn’t I)

8. What do you think their best quality is?

She’s by far the most hard-working person I’ve ever met, it’s amazing! She’s also extremely open-minded, which is always a great quality to have these days. She’s very loyal to her friends, and always has time for them. I also obviously love her sense of humour, otherwise no one would laugh at my lame jokes! I can’t pick, why did I even include this question, haha -.-

9. What does your best friend think their best quality is? Would they agree with you?

Hmm... She’d probably agree with me that she’s hard-working. I think she also knows she’s open-minded. She would probably also agree that she’s loyal and makes time for her friends. She’s always said she’s not funny though, even though I think she’s hilarious, so she might not agree with me on that one. All in all, I think (or hope) she agrees with me :D

10. What is your best friend’s favourite book (or book series)?

I want to say Captive Prince, she went crazy about that series! I really want to read it because of how she described it. She’s also always said she loves the book... I can’t remember the title, was it “A Lady in Captivity”? I bought it online to read it, but I think I got the wrong book (I’ve forgotten to ask you about that, @raindrop-rouge, haha).

11. What do you have in common with your best friend?

We’re both very loyal to our friends. We also value fairness, like, we always shared responsibilities when we lived together, and we always want to make sure either one doesn’t pay more than the other for things. I think we have the same sense of humour, though she might say mine is more dry, haha (she laughs though sooooooo). We both love chilling together, watching movies or shows, or singing, and she even plays video games with me! We do stupid tests (like this one) together, basically, we love doing NOTHING AT ALL together! We both loooove travelling. We both love reading (and also writing, though she writes like 323503040 times more than I do). We both love cats (and my dogs ;D).

Unlike you, @raindrop-rouge, I think we actually have a lot in common, haha :D Though I understand why your answer was shorter, if we’re talking interests, then, honestly, we’re quite different! You’re super into some anime and manga that I only really know through you (though I do like them), and I’m super into movies, TV series and games that you probably only know (or like) through me!

Also, omg, WE BOTH LOVE JAPAN, how did we not immediately think of that.

12. How did you meet, and what was your first impression of your best friend?

As @raindrop-rouge said, we met the first day of uni in England, I had a yellow piece of paper that she wanted to know where I got, and she was munching on an apple. I asked if she wanted to sit together (which is very unlike me, I’m never that “brave”, LUCKY FOR US I DECIDED TO BE BRAVE THAT DAY). I remember always saving a seat for her in Japanese class :D Oh, and my first impression was that she was very nice for coming up and talking to me and sitting with me, she was just very open and kind and nonthreatening, it was like I could tell that she wasn’t being fake or anything.

13. What does your best friend spend their free time doing, and why do you think they choose to do what they do?

She reads and writes fan fiction, which I think she does because she really loves the world and characters of her favourite manga/anime, and wants to “spend more time in it”. She watches anime and TV shows, not that many movies (unless I force her to watch my faves haha), because she loves Japan as well as the themes in the shows obviously, and I’m guessing there’s a bit of escapism there as well ;D She also hangs out with or chats with friends quite a lot, that social butterfly!

14. Who is their favourite fictional character, and why?

I’m gonna have to say Levi from Shingeki no Kyojin. I’m not even sure why, I think she likes his personality and how he treats others (probably especially Eren)? I’m such a bad friend I haven’t watched more than about 4 episodes of that :(

15. What’s the first thing you tell other people when you talk about your best friend?

Tbh, I probably start with saying “my best friend is French, and she did Japanese Studies with me, combining it with Law!” I think I usually mention her when someone talks about France, the US, England, Law, or Japanese, haha (which is quite often). Most of the time I quote something she’s said about a topic she knows a lot about, which is often law or France. Any time the future is mentioned, I say I’m gonna live with her as soon as we have the chance.

16. What’s your favourite story about them?

This summer’s trip to France and Spain was by far one of my favourite trips ever! I also loved it when I visited her in Japan, or when she came to visit me. Any time we’ve travelled together, it’s been awesome, she’s the best travel buddy. I also love it when she tells the story of when SHE realised we were close friends. We were cooking and doing the dishes in the kitchen, and I slapped her butt with a dish towel, and that’s when she realised for some reason :D I had apparently realised before that, seeing as I was slapping her butt with a dish towel... Our Norway nights were also amazing, I remember we were doing stuff together all night, even though there were like 10 other people there that we didn’t see like 24/7 like we used to.

17. What’s your least favourite story about them?

Ugh, it was when we went out for Halloween one year, and I’m pretty sure someone spiked her drink (as you can probably tell, it isn’t my least favourite story because of something she did, just something that happened to her). She got really “drunk” (she neeever gets even close to that drunk) and I was so worried every time I took my eyes off her. I ended up staying by her side as much as I could (so like 99% of the night, haha) and we got home safely, I remember being so relieved when we entered our flat!

18. Why do you think you two ended up becoming best friends?

I think it’s because we were both obviously and genuinely just being nice to each other from the very beginning, there was no drama, and no reason to not like each other. For me at least, it was easy to be open and honest with her, and I always enjoyed hanging out with her. After we moved in together we quickly hung out more and more and just had tons of fun, while at the same time sharing responsibilities etc. like I mentioned earlier. Also we have SOOO MANY inside jokes, it’s insane!!! Sometimes we can just look at each other and burst out laughing ‘cause we know exactly what each other is thinking.

19. Would you be honest with your best friend if they were happy doing something, but you think it might end up harming them in the end?

Haha, yes, I’m pretty sure I’ve already done that.

20. Does your best friend play any instruments? Why do you think they chose that instrument?

She used to play the piano, and I think she still remembers some songs? I’m not sure why she chose the piano, either because she loves piano songs, or because her parents signed her up for classes, I’m guessing? Or maybe she knows her fingers are long and slender and perfect for playing the piano!

21. Do you and your best friend have a dream for the future, if so, what is it?

WE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN TOGETHER AGAIN. And we have a lot of places we want to travel to, like Iceland! And we both want a cat, so we might as well get one together when we do move in together. Basically, we want to be happy, and that involves us being together and having pets ;D

22. What is one thing you have always wanted to tell your best friend, but never have?

Hmmm... I know you always say I don’t talk about my feelings, but I’ve never opened up to anyone as I have to you. I tell you to your face that I love you (once every blue moon at least ;P), I have never told anyone else that, especially not more than once! So... I feel like at some point during our relationship I’ve probably told you all you should know, but those times might be far apart, so you should know that I will always love you no matter what, and.... actions speak louder than words? At least, I hope the way I act shows you better how I feel than what I say. (torturing myself by including this question and making me talk about feels)

23. What do you think your best friend’s life will be like 10 years from now?

She will probably be queen of the world or something with how hard she’s working! But seriously, she is going to have exactly the life she wants, because she’s worked hard for that to be possible, and because she’s smart and strong enough to make that happen. Hopefully for me that life will include us living together like our dream for the future.

24. What song makes you think of your best friend?

She’s gonna hate me for this, but “Love Hurts” by Nazareth, hahaha (I used to either play that or sing it just to annoy her). As well as all of our standard karaoke songs, and Just Dance songs. “A Whole New World”, ooo, and also “Poor Unfortunate Souls”, ‘cause you own that song!

25. Just to end on a mean note, what’s your best friend’s worst personality trait? (Be honest now, guys, none of that “they’re just too kind” bullshit)

WHY DID I INCLUDE THESE QUESTIONS KNOWING I WOULD HAVE TO ANSWER THEM MYSELF?! OK, I think I’ve told her this before, and I KNOW I’ve made fun of her for it, but I think it might have to be the way she kind of acts arrogant sometimes, haha. It’s not even bad (she doesn’t have bad traits!!!), but sometimes she acts or talks like she doesn’t have time for whatever some other person talks about or does. I’m pretty sure 99% of the time she’s joking, but once in a while she sounds a bit like a diva, haha, I’m sorry!!!

Lucifer 2x13 - A Good Day to Die Reaction’d  (was live 1/30) *spoilers*

PRE-SHOW: Press release description - “Lucifer must find the antidote to the Professor’s poison before it kills Chloe. He travels to hell to find the Professor’s soul and get him to turn over the antidote. While he’s there, he is forced to confront his guilt about Uriel’s death. Mom heads to hell to get Lucifer back, but Lucifer still feels betrayed by his parents because of something he discovers…” So my question is, due to the ep title, does Chloe die or does Lucifer kill himself to get to hell? Or is it a literal movie reference due to Lucifer’s pop-culture geekdom?

PRE-SHOW: Uriel/ Michael Imperioli is making another appearance! Fan life is grand!

SHOW: 2 minutes in it’s gonna mess me up, you watch…yep!

1x05 - When can I drive? I’ll never let you drive / 2x13 Drove the frickin car with the lights on!I vote BEST FAN SERVICE MOMENT!

#I'll rip your spine out and beat you with it! - New standard for bro vs bro family squabbles.

When Chloe takes Lucifer’s arm going down the stairs, all those little things, that to me in more gratifying than their kiss moment.

“YOU LOOK HEAVEN SENT” - new standard for boyfriends

Douchifer / Dan-squared is back. I’m not going to lie, I’m a little bit pleased.

Why isn’t Lucifer kicking ass?

Oh wait - nevermind…hahahahahaha! He busted out of those cuffs and saved Danzel in distress.

“Swing that thing and I’ll shove it so far you’ll have splinters in your stool” - The bar for squabbles has ALREADY BEEN RAISED!

“Miracles aren’t my thing, but…” OMG character development!

So my first instinct was right: RIP Lucifer! But how is he going to do it, a) it would have to be in Chloe’s vicinity. Wouldn’t she see? OR b) he would need wings. OR c) Mom would have to take him…

“Turnabouts fair play” - Things Linda learned from Lucifer. Yes, the therapy works both ways. YES! Reasons I am living!

Lucifer: “Who wants to kill me?” - all family members raise hands - they are officially a squad!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO my TV reception is crackling. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH thank Dad we’re back!

Painkillers- no problem that’s what my hip flask is for. - Really Lucifer? You have narcotics for that, believe me we've seen your stash in many episodes.

Lucifer putting the EMT paddles on himself! - heavy episode but quite humorous.

I LOVE how they made hell into a series of rooms. It’s straight out of a play, very NO EXIT esque.

Trixie: “[to Amenadiel] Are you a guardian angel?” Played right into the fan hands.

Trixie: “[also to Amenadiel] I like your necklace.” The fan service guys, it’s unbelievable.

Ella from Brooklyn - my girl!

“THE PEACE IS HERE?!?” I knew he whispered something but what?

Linda: "[I might just go to hell] There are things you don’t know about me” - I KNEW IT! I have been waiting forever! - Wait, you are not giving me backstory?! Dropping that line and making me wait - you guys get a temporary cell in hell.

Maze couldn’t kill Lucifer, but Lucifer’s mom? CLEAR! BOOM!

Maybe Amenadiel will get his time freezing powers back because he is trying to save Chloe?

Does everyone on this show have a brother?! Ricky!

Finally, Mum takes accountability. Hell cell exchange!

They played that SONG! X Ambassadors!

You fight them off Amenadiel - GO BRO GO!

I feel like this is a herring. Is Lucifer still in hell? Something about this ending seems off,

Guess not must be my imagination / just hell-like sunset coloring. That would have been a good twist though.

#hide the strippers. (But 300+ calls Chloe, truly?)

POST SHOW: I am not going to survive till May!.

Favorite character of the episode- Amenadiel. Way to finally get back to the ass kicking, nobody moves me unless I damn well feel like it, I am barricading this door with my body badassery. I knew you had it in you to cut the apron strings. My man Amenadude!

Best one-liner: Ella basically calling Dan out as a straight-laced Grandpa after she picks a lock and moves around like she's about to boost a car.

Seriously though, how did Mum plan to use Chloe to get back to heaven? I am still waiting for that to make sense and now that Luci has gone (more) rouge, I feel as though that plan/ explanation is going to wither and die.

I am still trying to deduce why they teased the spark of Azrael's blade and so far that hasn’t come to fruition.

Come to think of it, this is all quite unsettling!

However, I do like the fact that the writers constructed some “hell fine print.” You can get out when you feel like you don’t deserve/ belong there anymore. I wonder how the writers will use that in future. I hope they do, it’s a hell of a good plot point to waste!
