MGA5 Kim Myungsoo // Skill Performance

Performing: Why Did I Fall in Love with You by TVXQ  (1:23-3:13)

It had taken all of his strength to not burst out into happy tears when he heard his name being read out as a contestant that was continuing their journey. He was going to be able to perform again. Myungsoo hadn’t really believed in himself and was certain that he would be going back home with sad news, but he was certainly proud of being given another opportunity. Entering the recording studio the second week felt a bit more shocking; for some reason, he hadn’t expected the amount of chairs to make the space feel so much smaller and intimate. 

Walking in with heavy feet and feeling quite empty this week sans his guitar, he chose a seat all the way at the end of the row on the right side towards the bottom. Myungsoo saw a few familiar faces and tried smiling and bowing to a few people, but for the most part he went ignored. Sighing, he chewed on his lip as more and more hopefuls filtered into the room. The seat that was directly next to him was occupied by somebody he didn’t know at all. In fact, he hadn’t even really remembered them from the last round. (It was so hard watching 99 other performers besides yourself)

When the CEOs came in to sit in their seats, Myungsoo stood up and clapped again, bowing in their direction. The cameras started rolling and Myungsoo had a dimpled smile on his face, trying to be as reactive to people’s performances as he could. He wanted not only to be supportive to people he was familiar with, he wanted to make sure that everybody felt like they had an audience. Even the most boring performances, Myungsoo would make sure to give a healthy round of applause and an encouraging smile. 

Myungsoo was competing in one of the most populated skills, singing. There were a healthy amount of dancers and rappers but the competition was overflowing with singers and Myungsoo was not too sure he would be able to stand out that much. He had gone back and forth over using his guitar again, but ultimately decided against it. His guitar was much like his crutch and it made him comfortable, but he was afraid that he was going to be too predictable if he kept using it.

Seemingly more nervous this time, but with a blinding smile, Myungsoo took the stage when his name was called. Standing in the center, he bowed towards the judges and his fellow contestants before speaking, “Hello everybody. It’s me, Kim Myungsoo! You may or may not remember that last week I performed with a guitar, but today I’m planning on doing something a bit different. I hope you enjoy my version of ‘Why Did I Fall in Love with You’ by TVXQ.”

As his backing track started up, Myungsoo placed his hand over his heart and looked down at the ground as he started his first line. He gradually lifted his head to make eye-contact with the camera, and when you did you could already see tears forming in his eyes. This song was very emotional about a person losing the one that they loved, a big contrast to the song he picked last week where he was happily singing about an innocent crush and wanting to fall in love with a person. What Myungsoo was displaying this week was pure heartbreak. Most viewers probably wouldn’t be able to understand the lyrics, because they were in Japanese, but Myungsoo thought that if he was emotional enough that anybody would be able to feel his heartbreak.

Doushite, kimi wa suki ni natte shimattandarou (Why did I fall in love with you) Donna ni toki ga nagarete mo kimi wo zutto (No matter how much time passed by) Koko ni iru to omotteta noni (I thought you’d still be right here) Mou kaerenai (We can no longer go back)

Feeling more confident after singing the first chorus, Myungsoo began to wander around the stage more instead of just staying in one spot. Last week, he was fixed to the middle of the stage because he was sitting but today he wanted to make more use of the vast space. He would try and make eye-contact with anybody who was looking at him, men included, and try to convey the love he felt through his big, expressive eyes. 

Tokubetsuna imi wo motsu kyou wo (This day, which holds a special meaning) Shiawase kao de tatsu kyou wo (Today, you stood there with a happy expression) Kirei na sugata de kamisama ni negatteru kimi wo (You looked so beautiful, praying to God) Boku janai hito no tonari de (Standing next to someone who is not me) Shukufukusare teru sugata wo (And receiving your blessings) Boku wa douyatte miokureba ii no darou (How am I supposed to let go of that)

After walking around the stage a bit and working with his crowd to try and make them feel what he was feeling, Myungsoo collapsed to his knees in the middle of the stage and closed his eyes before hitting some very high notes in the song. He had to work to hit some of these notes, and he thought that if he distracted his audience with something abrupt they wouldn’t notice the way his voice would shake a bit as he worked up to it. 

Mou doushite, kimi wa suki ni natte shimattandarou (So, why did I fall in love with you) Ano koro no bokura no kouto (What we did during those days) Mou modoranai (Can’t return to them any longer) Kangaeta (I’ve thought it over) Kangaeta (I’ve thought it over) Doushite kimi no te wo tsukami ubaenakattandarou (Why couldn’t I hold onto your hand) Donna ni toki ga nagarete mo kimi wo zutto (No matter how much time passed by) Boku no yuko ni iru hazu datta (I thought you’d always be by my side)

Myungsoo stood up slowly, and when he opened his eyes again to look at the camera there were tears freely flowing down his cheeks. While he was singing, he couldn’t help but think of Sungyeol and of course he pictured if he was ever in a situation where he had to watch his lover be together with somebody else. That sort of emotion absolutely terrified him, being the romantic that he was and already falling so deeply in love with somebody who he had barely known a few months before. However, he tried to keep his emotions in control enough so he would be able to deliver the soft but impactful last few lines of the song. Smiling through his tears, he sang.

Sore demo kimi ga boku no soba hanareteito mo (But even though you’re not longer next to me) Eien ni kimi ga shiawase de iru koto (I’ll pray that you’ll be happy for eternity) Tatoe sore ga donna ni sabishikute mo (No matter how lonely that would make me feel) Sabishikute mo (Lonely)

As he held out the last note, Myungsoo bowed for his audience and wiped the tears off of his face. He knew he had to vacate the stage with haste for the next performer to prepare but Myungsoo managed to speak into the microphone one last time before he left, “Don’t worry, I only cried because I got into the performance! I’m not sad!” He didn’t really know why he felt the need to clarify that, but he giggled to himself as he handed the microphone off to a staff member.

Feeling much more relieved and a bit more confident now that his performance had finished, Myungsoo knew that he had given his all and delivered a performance the best that he could. He would just have to leave his fate up to the judges and hope that they enjoyed his extremely public show of emotion.

Voltron Band/YouTuber AU

Allura is the daughter of Alfor, who owns the company ‘Altea’. They handle huge bands and music groups. She is going to succeed Alfor when he eventually retires, however, Allura does not desire to take over the company and, instead, wants to manage a band. Alfor does not believe she will be able to live comfortably as a manager of a band. In order to prove she can, she gathers five different YouTubers and forms a band with them. She has two years to make them as popular and as successful as she can, with at least 2 million subscribers on YouTube. Obviously, two years isn’t enough time, so she picks YouTubers who already have a following, though they’re all under 500k, as she was restricted by Alfor. In the end, she picks Shiro, Keith, Hunk, Lance and Pidge to establish a band, Voltron.

And, of course, because they're YouTubers already, they're not gonna stop at just music. Cue a shit ton of shenanigans, Kallura, Lancelot, and shit ton of Adashi. (BTW, I'm listing things by age order, not favourites. If I were, I would have started with Keith and Allura.)

Shiro:

His YT channel is mostly playing horror games. It’s hilarious because new viewers look at him and think he’s going to handle everything really well, but this guy is such a baby. He’s like twenty-three, but he screams and jumps five feet into the air at a can falling from the shelf in a video game. Sometimes he’ll get a notification in the middle of a tense moment and will scream like no other. 463k subs. Sometimes streams on twitch, but usually uses YouTube. After a terrifying gameplay, like res, he’ll play a softer game like Minecraft or Ratchet & Clank.

Do not let him near a sad game - he will cry, and you will cry seeing it. He once played The Last of Us on recommendation and cried for the rest of the video when Sarah died. He had to stop the video early because of this, and nobody has recommended a sad game since.

Before the video ended, Keith calls out Shiro’s name, and Voltron fans took this and used it as further ‘evidence’ that there was something going on between them. Again, this was shot down without hesitation.

Lead guitarist/vocals. His voice is gruff, and he can reach the low and high notes, which makes his voice so fucking suitable for the rock genre. His vocals are the best in the band, with Lance coming in second, and then Keith. As stated previously, he’s quite emotional, and he uses this to his advantage, connecting to the songs on an emotional level. Sometimes, he’s even the one writing them. When he and Keith work together, expect many, many tears, or much empathetic anger.

He’s fluent in Japanese and English, and only half-so in Korean. He only started learning Korean a year before the story starts, so he’s only confident in writing and reading, not conversations. Keith is helping. Whenever he’s super scared, he screams in Japanese.

He was once accused of being a weeb and just went, “I’m Japanese, aho”.

He got into a car accident on the way to the concert and ended up with a fractured collarbone. He gets physio, but in his absence, he has Keith led the team, but he does have Lance on lead vocals.

Weak for Disney and love songs. He posted a cover of ‘you’re welcome’ on his channel, and it’s one of his most famous pre-Voltron videos. It’s also one of the reason’s Allura scouted him.

Engaged to a still-alive Adam because I am NOT A COWARD, VOLTRON--!! He and Adam are very happy together. Because they're both gorgeous and of age, people have taken to thirsting over both of them. Adam laughs it off, but Shiro gets a bit jealous, but not possessive. Fuck that toxic shit.

This is only one of the reasons he was disgusted by the idea of ‘Sheith’. Other reasons are that Keith is literally nineteen, and he’s twenty-three; Keith is his little brother - adopted, but still; Keith is demi-aroace. Need I go on?

Listen to him sing.

Keith:

Keith’s YouTube channel consists of conspiracy videos, analyses and theories. Occasionally, when he’s bored and CBA to go through the whole recording-editing process, he just live streams whatever’s on his mind. Because there’s no script, his streams tend to be about three hours, but most people end up watching the entire thing and get their mind blown. 337k subs. Strictly YouTube - no twitch. He has a naturally angry face, so most think he’s a hothead, but he’s such a softie.

He did a stream about why Hippos are the superior animal while hugging a hippo plushie. He was a bit sick and wasn’t thinking clearly, but he changed the mind of so many people because he was so fucking cute--

BuzzFeed and the like use him a source because he’s that fucking reliable and fast

Shiro’s adopted younger brother, but nobody really knows this. When they start gaining popularity, someone digs an old video of Shiro walking in frame in the middle of Keith’s video in just briefs and a tank top and people began speculating that Shiro was dating a fucking nineteen-year-old and they both shot that down because ew. (BTW, you can ship Sheith if you want, but, in this AU, they're adopted brothers, so it's disgusting here.)

Keith has PTSD from his foster homes before the Shiroganes take him in. When he’s sick and feverish and someone speaks loudly or looks somewhat mad, or if he does something wrong, even by accident, he’ll slip and start calling people sir or ma’am. He’ll hide in closets if he thinks he’s in danger, but he hates being forced or pushed into a closet. He takes the topic of abuse and mental health very seriously.

Autistic baby.

Just because he’s demi-aroace, it doesn’t mean this guy isn’t smooth as FUCK. He teaches Lance how to flirt properly, after he’s got past finger guns, a grin, and an overplayed pick-up line. When he gained feelings for Allura, you bet your arse, he flirted his way into her heart. (Little did he know, Allura already had underlying feelings for him, the flirting just helped reveal them--).

He’s the bass/rhythm guitarist, but he can play literally any instrument he deems interesting enough. He’s also very good at singing, though his tone suits solemn songs mostly, and he isn’t as good as Shiro or Lance in their genre of songs. He can also dance very well. Legit, this man can play: bass (obvs), guitar (acc & elec), piano, harmonica, the stylophone, a fucking kazoo, and even the violin. Most people think he doesn’t have the patience for any of these instruments, but they’re so wrong. He once mentioned this in a stream, and Allura snatched him up without hesitation. A man of actions, not words, but when those words are written, expect a lot of tears.

Keith actually has a lot of patience - he’s just passionate. He doesn’t have anger issues, stop assuming he has, you DICKHEADS--

Keith is legit a genius. This guy knows five and a half different languages. He’s fluent in English, Korean, Japanese, French, Latin (bc all the ancient texts are in Latin) and is half-fluent in Spanish. He can write in all of them, but is unsure about speaking in Spanish. (Lance helps him because toxic friendship = NO).

This is his voice. Listeeen. (Also, I'm crying. One of the comments for the first link says, 'im crying oml, Glenn singing this to Maggie. and keith singing this to mothman').

Hunk:

He has a cooking/baking channel, of course. He’s so fucking sweet, omg. 498k subs bc he deserves it. Gets Lance to taste most of his dishes, but Pidge gets the desserts/sweets. This man has legit been complimented by Ramsey - he’s that good. When he isn’t cooking/baking, he’s reacting as others cook, and his reactions are so fucking funny. Basically, he’s Uncle Roger.

Jamie Oliver brings him unsettling amounts of rage and fury. Gordon is his favourite chef, but he yells a lot and Hunk’s anxiety says NO.

He doesn’t livestream, but he joins Lance’s streams and plays all sorts of games w/ him. He was scouted bc, Lance bragged about Hunk’s drumming skills for Hunk in a stream, while also bragging about his own musical skills. Hunk is flustered, but he doesn’t exactly deny it.

Hunk, as stated previously, can play the drums, and is the drummer. He writes a lot of the softer songs, and those are the songs that people listen to feel better rather than vent. He can play the saxophone and the tuba, but not expertly. Yet. You bet your ass Allura is pushing all sorts of lessons on him when she learns this, and, before you know it, Hunk is being offered freelance orchestra positions.

Hunk is fluent in Samoan, English and is half-fluent in Spanish bc of Lance. He knows certain words in all sorts of languages, but that’s just because of his multicultural cooking. He also knows Go, Python and JavaScript.

Hunk has been offered the position of head chef, but he always turns it down because he doesn’t want to turn his passion into a job. It’s easier to manage with YouTube. Plus, he doesn’t like being confined to a set menu or genre. And he can’t eat what he’s cooked after as a chef in the industry. Plus, he can’t handle the pressure.

Has 100% arm wrestled the entire cafeteria in school for an entire tiramisu and won.

Anxiety mainly, but he’s so sweet, and he knows how to handle people - he just thinks too much and is very queasy. Almost threw up in his first video because of his anxiety. He gets over it, eventually, through exposure and Lance.

Lance thinks their friendship is a bit unfair because he relies on Hunk a lot, but Hunk disagrees. He needs Lance as much as Lance needs him, or even more. If it weren’t for Lance, Hunk would still be scratching his arms until it bled because of anxiety. If it weren’t for him, Hunk would still be unable to look at even a phone camera without feeling like he needed to throw up. Maybe Lance doesn’t know this, but it’s fine, because it happened anyway.

Lance:

He posts a lot of beauty videos, and sometimes gives commentary about crime, like Bailey Sarian, or just about whatever’s on his mind. Fans love him for more than just how pretty/handsome he is. Lance talks a lot about sensitive topics and handles it really well. He’s firmly against stuff like homophobia, transphobia, racism and so on. He doesn’t get overly emotional unless it really strikes home, like self-worth, anxiety and what it was like growing up poor. 435k subs.

Live streams on twitch mostly, but sometimes does YouTube. Twitch streams are gaming ones, which get way more views than his YT streams. YouTube streams are usually just him talking to chat. He hums and sings a lot in these, which is how Allura knew to scout for him.

ADHD, anxiety and lack of self-worth. He gets better, don’t worry.

Lance loves the water and took free diving lessons. He can go five minutes forty seconds without air at the bottom of a pool. He likes rain, but he hates drizzles as they keep making him flinch, and it’s uncomfortable.

A lot of people ship him with Keith, but this died down after Lance expressed discomfort with being shipped. He had to explain that he is bisexual, and it’s not because Keith is a guy, it’s because everyone from the band is like family to him, and it goes against his very being to be shipped with them.

Lance is the rhythm guitarist and can sing very, very well. He’s the second best in the group. He can play the guitar, acc & elec. He acts like he can dance, but he is so bad, somebody, stop him--!! He gets better, don't worry. He also knows how to play a launchpad, because of course he does, and a kazoo.

He’s fluent in English and Spanish. He’s the one to sing Spanish songs, like Despacito. He’s excited when he hears that Keith is learning Spanish and gets Hunk to learn Spanish too. When he’s really excited, he ends up speaking Spanish and confuses most people, but it’s adorable anyway.

Acts like he’s the smoothest guy ever, but he really isn’t. He’s so awkward and has no idea what he’s supposed to do. He has to be taught by Keith, of all people. It takes him a while, but after Keith seamlessly flirts with Galra employees, Lance ends up asking him right after they get the information they need and meet Lotor and the gang. He’s a bit oblivious.

Met Hunk in first year of middle school, and they’ve been besties since. He usually goes to Hunk if he’s feeling a bit sad or emotional. Hunk knows how to handle his anxiety attacks and knows when to tell Lance if he’s done something wrong or crossed a boundary. Because of his ADHD, for a long while, Lance thought the worst of people and suffered from extreme paranoia. This settled down when he started going to therapy and taking medication. He doesn’t need medication any more, but he takes it when he has a bad day.

His voice is so goood, but he's an asshole...!!

Pidge:

Vlogging central. Their channel is full of random, spur of the moment recordings of their life with Matt, Sam and Colleen. They prank Matt a lot, and Matt tends to prank them while they’re recording. They’ve accidentally walked in on Matt getting worked up over an Otome and nobody lets it go. Sometimes, Pidge catches Keith and Matt cuddling, or Shiro and Matt freaking out over a horror film. 327k subs.

Streams a lot of gaming, and they use IG for instalive for vlogging-type streams. They only use twitch if Lance and/or Hunk invite them to play. They’re a master at video gaming and always beat them in smash and the like.

A lot of people though they were a guy before, in an instalive, they were like, “Nah, I’m nonbinary, and I go by they/them pronouns” and Matt jumped in with, “and you’re biologically female, so they’re wrong in all possible ways lol”. So many people were shooketh.

Pidge is the pianist. They can play the keyboard, mainly, but can also play the flute. Their vocals are mediocre, so they’re not really relied on for singing, like Hunk. They reveal this when Matt gets them to play for the video, and they play Lavender Town from Pokemon.

They’re very much multilingual, like Keith. They’re fully fluent in English, Italian, Spanish, French and Russian. They’ve recently started learning Polish and can only write thus far. If you include computer languages, then they’re also fluent in Scala, Python, C, Go and JavaScript. They want to learn Japanese and get Shiro and Keith to teach them.

Pidge has collaborated a couple of times to create websites for popular YouTubers, but despite being credited, they don’t get much recognition or attention. They create the website for Voltron when they start to gain popularity. At some point, a game company reaches out to them and requests aid to program their game, and Pidge is ecstatic and works freelance for them on the side.

They’re aroace and bond with Keith over being ace. When they told this to Lance and Hunk the first time, they had to create a whole ass PowerPoint about what it meant. This PowerPoint was what led Lance to question his own sexuality. In the end, they were both very supportive.

Pidge knows everyone pre-Voltron, apart from the Alteans. Matt was besties with Shiro and Keith, so they met them that way, and they met Lance and Hunk at comic con. They usually talk with Keith in French for the lols and to piss everyone off.

They were the most hesitant about Voltron, but caved in the end after feeling the rush after their first performance, even though it was private and a spur-of-the-moment thing, courtesy of Shiro. (Lemonade Mouth who?? lol).

Allura:

Allura is the daughter of Alfor, who owns the company ‘Altea’. They handle huge bands and music groups. She is going to succeed Alfor when he eventually retires, however, Allura does not desire to take over the company and, instead, wants to manage a band. Alfor does not believe she will be able to live comfortably as a manager of a band. In order to prove she can, she gathers five different YouTubers and forms a band with them. She has two years to make them as popular and as successful as she can, with at least 2 million subscribers on YouTube. Obviously, two years isn’t enough time, so she picks YouTubers who already have a following, though they’re all under 500k, as she was restricted by Alfor. In the end, she picks Shiro, Keith, Lance, Pidge and Hunk to establish a band, Voltron.

Because of her prestigious background, Allura was taught aikido just in case anyone tries to harm or kidnap her. While aikido is a self-defence form of martial arts, she is plenty capable of starting fights if anyone wrongs her or her family/friends.

She grew up with Romelle, who she met at a private middle school. Allura only found out about the others because of Romelle, who prefers niche and smaller YouTubers whose following aren’t big enough to be overwhelmingly toxic. They banter so much that it actually shocks the others when they see their interactions because of how rude they are to each other. Basically, it’s British banter, where they take jabs at literally everything and that’s how you know they’re family. Romelle is actually the one to get her to realise that she loves Keith.

When she joins, Allura gets on them vocals, able to sing both high and low, though not baritone. Her voice is literally the most soothing thing ever. She debuts with 'Would you be so kind?' which fans adored. Her best moment, however, is when she sung Sweater Weather w/ Keith. This is the song that made her begin to realise that she has some sort of feelings towards Keith. It was also the song that cemented Keith’s feelings towards her and made all the haters, who’d been opposed to Allura joining, shut the fuck up.

The only real vendetta Allura has against Galra Entertainment is due to a rivalry. In the past, Altea and Galra had been one entertainment company, but Zarkon got too big for his own good and split the company in half, with Alfor as Altea’s head and Zarkon as Galra’s head. The other three in their band/company ended up going into different careers. Trigel became an audio engineer. Blayzt became a casting manager. Gyrgan became a cinematographer. Allura is still close to them, but only because they care about them and show that they do. Zarkon does not, which is why she does not like him.

Voltron:

Voltron’s definition: A group of things that are more powerful when combined. Fandom is known as the Voltron Coalition, VoCoal’s, (Vocals). They grow hella fast as all the members are diverse and attractive, sound good, and already have a following. They reach the goal of two million subs in a single year.

They start by uploading covers of classics and then release an original album.

Their instruments are all colour-coded. When Shiro has to take a break on tour, Allura steps in. She takes over Keith’s bass guitar and Keith takes over lead guitarist and vocals, but Lance is the one taking on the heavy and hard vocals. Allura can also sing very well and ends up joining Voltron instead of replacing. She doesn’t play a set instrument, but she has the missing feminine vocals.

Allura is the manager, but Coran takes over for her when she expresses a desire to perform and because of popular demand after she sings Sweater Weather w/ Keith, (the KHS ver).

Their YT channel, Voltron, is solely for music, trailers and announcements/updates.

They have a second channel, Paladins, where they upload basically anything, as long as it isn’t a sole thing or something for their channel alone. Pidge is in charge of vlogs, Shiro and Lance are in charge of gaming, Keith is in charge of explaining songs/MVs, and Hunk is in charge of feel-good videos and comps.

Hunk often hosts huge cook offs/bake offs, and he’s the referee. Keith’s the only one who can actually cook, (because he had to learn or else he’d never get to eat), so whoever’s on his team often ends up both learning and winning. Lance can only sort of cook from being with Hunk for so long. Adam cooks for Shiro, who's been banned from the kitchen after burning a boiled egg, and Pidge’s parents cook for them. Baking is usually fifty-fifty, but you have a better chance with Lance on your team.

Keith spends literal hours just making the script when he has to explain songs even if it’s his own songs, but the videos are always huge hits or emotional, so he deems it as worth it. Their editor takes a while to send videos back because they either get super riled up or they burst into tears. At one point, Keith details some things he went through in one of his foster homes as a source of his writing material, and they didn’t get the video back for a week. Curtis, their editor, made sure to give Keith a vanilla milkshake and some strawberry shortcake. After that, Curtis gets emotional every time he sees Keith. He’s not the only one.

Shiro and Lance hold meetings, no joke, to decide what game they should play. Some multiplayer games Lance suggests have very emotional scenes, and Shiro can’t handle those. But, some multiplayer games Shiro proposes are generic and played to the point of death. There are also times when they get someone to play a single-player game and Lance has to warn Shiro ahead of time when there’s a sad/emotional scene. He forgets once, and Keith freaks out and almost breaks the camera to calm Shiro down.

Pidge doesn’t warn anyone when they’re recording, unless it’s in the studio. They just barge in with a camera and everyone is just like, ‘oh, so this is happening now?’. Because of the new proximity, Pidge can capture more pure crack. This is not an exaggeration. They record Keith dropping a pen and jumping five feet in the air like a cat, Shiro belting Let it Go when he thought he was alone, Hunk and Lance re-enacting Obi-Wan vs Anakin on the kitchen counter with bread sticks, Allura’s clothes falling on her when she opened her wardrobe, and Coran hanging upside down from the ceiling. In return, Hunk caught Pidge asking where their glasses are while wearing them and also asking where their phone is while on it, so many times that there are now comps.

Everyone was worried after Kallura became official and public, but the reception was amazing, and they genuinely love each other. (Lance gets jealous a bit, but not because he has a crush on either of them. He’s just lonely and-- Oh, look, there’s Lotor).

After Lancelot becomes a thing, the fandoms unite and double their followings. Also, Generals appear more often in Paladins videos. The BOM are mad about Galra and Altea being connected in such a way, but Keith sort of scowls at them, and they just shut up.

Quick Notes:

Shiro is 23, Keith is 19, Hunk + Lance are 18, Pidge is 17, Allura is 19, Coran is 40.

The Galra are a rival entertainment industry with Zarkon as the CEO, Haggar as the EA, and their most famous group being the Generals, (Lotor, Acxa, Zethrid, Ezor, Narti).

The BOM are a group of pre-Galra recruits who left due to how toxic the workplace was and started an orchestra. (At some point they invite Keith to join them as his mother was part of their group before she died. He temporarily joins them as a violinist when Thace is shanked and robbed in an alley.)

Allura offers to pay for a year of any lesson they need or want to bribe them, other than exposure, and they all take it.

Keith and Shiro can ride motorbikes, and Lance really want to learn.

Pidge and Hunk share a love of computer science. Hunk likes building computers. Pidge prefers coding. But, they both love programming and even dabble in hacking.

An Unlucky Break

Honestly, at this point, you weren’t sure what was worse. The humans? The endless noises? Or the devil-forsaken sunlight?! Groaning, you pulled another blanket over yourself, tugging it up above your head. Taking the pillow, you used it to try to muffle the sounds of the outside world. It was all so much. How did the humans even get any sleep? How could they see with all the blinding sun rays? You cocooned yourself tighter, imagining that you were back inside your home where nothing but endless moonlight existed and you were left exactly how you wanted to be. Alone.

But all those dreams and imaginations were dashed when you heard a single name roar throughout the house. “Mammon!” If it wasn’t his name, it would be another. They always seemed to be screaming at each other for something around here. At least they had the decency to leave you--

The door to your bedroom door opened, then shut itself quietly, the sound of panting followed by whispered cursing invaded your space. “Why’s he always gotta be on my ass? It’s just a little money, he’d spend it all on useless plastic or junk anyway. It was better off in my hands for sure. For sure...” A little bit of pacing, a small chuckle. “Just gotta lay low in here. It’s abandoned and dark as hell, he surely won’t find me.” It was bitterly amusing how your supposed “babysitter” seemed to have forgotten all about you. Although you stayed quiet, not really in the mood for conversation. Besides, you always had a knack for blending in.

The both of you sat in silence--well, relative silence, since it was obvious the human didn’t seem to understand the definition of being still. He kept mumbling to himself. But the two of you listened to whichever brother was on the hunt go rampaging through the house. Doors kept opening, slamming shut, the footsteps pounding angrily against the floor upstairs. Then it all went quiet. The brother of greed seemed as hopeful as you were that it was a sign they’d given up the chase. Mammon sighed, much too heavily. So of course, the handle slammed against the wall as the room was raided. “There you are, you--you---you!” Then the fighting started. A heavy sound of a body hit the side wall.

“Son of a--get offa me, will ya!? I don’t have your damn money!”

The newcomer growled. “That’s the problem!” The scuffle didn’t seem to end. Neither of them really dug too badly into each other, pushing, shoving, slapping. It was hard to tell if you were intrigued or annoyed. Regardless, you slowly took the blankets off of you, getting a better look at the fight. It was immediately disappointing, or maybe this was as intense as humans could take it? Mammon had his brother’s head in some sort of lock, while the attacker was simply tugging at Greed’s hair with two full handfuls. Neither of them were getting anywhere. No, this was definitely lackluster.

You were back to being annoyed. Sitting up, speaking up finally, you were going to ask, ‘can you two beat each other up elsewhere’, but you couldn’t even get that far. “Can you two--” were the only words you managed to utter before the both of them shrieked in startled fear, high-pitched enough to leave your ears almost ringing. The fighting dropped immediately, the humans instinctively grabbing onto each other in a supportive hug. They stayed like that for a good while before one of them broke away to flick the light on. The intense brightness had you blinking away spots.

Bright blue hair, a shirt with some sort of strangely drawn figure with...large proportions, a curved device around his neck, the brother’s previous assertiveness instantly melted. “W-who are y-you?! God, Mammon, call the-the cops or something!”

Sheepishly, Mammon caught his breath and cleared his throat, the look of recognition coming back to him. “Wait, Levi, this is the guest Lucifer told us about.” The one you were supposed to take care of. Not that I care.

“N-nani?!” So this was Levi Morningstar. Everyone labeled him as Envy. The third eldest and third strongest. So many of his demon followers drove themselves beyond mad, jealous that they couldn’t be as envious as the human. And if that was enough to tell you about this brother… “I thought that was, like, a prank or something! How long have they-they-they…” With every word, he seemed to turn more pink, and yet his face looked almost angrier. “Why didn’t you tell me?!” And he was back to fighting, taking Mammon by the front of his shirt. “I’ve been singing the opening song to ‘Kiss Me I’m Your Princess�� in the shower for the past week!” It was true. He had. “That’s supposed to be private!”

Mammon shrugged, his forearms raising with his shoulders. “Not very private if the whole neighborhood can hear ya, and besides I did tell ya! You were just so upset about the money you must’a not been paying attention!” He shoved Levi off of him. “So that’s on you!”

The older of the two really knew--or maybe he didn’t know--exactly how to push buttons. Levi, his anger reignited about the mention of his money, knocked Mammon to the ground. “Scumbag!”

Mammon pushed his brother off with a knee to the gut, turning the tables and getting on top of his opponent. “Fuckin’ weeb!” It was obvious Greed was the more physically capable, his speed and reactions praiseworthy, perhaps even for average demon standards. However, Levi was bringing his own to the fight--if you could even really call it a fight. He was more adept at using his surroundings as well as guessing predictable movements to stay in the ring.

Should you stop it? Human bodies were much more fragile than demon ones weren’t they? While they might have not been digging their heels into swinging, they were still aggressive, and it was only escalating. The binding marks around your wrists left a dull heat across your skin. Like it or not, you had to keep them in decent health to observe them. So you got up, placing your body between them. They quickly put their fists down, although Levi’s got dangerously close to your face, his knuckles so close they tickled your cheek. The intensity of battle fizzled instantly, and Levi touched a sore spot on his chin. Looking right past you, the blue-haired boy scowled. “You’ve got 24 hours, Mammon, you hear me? If you don’t, I’m taking this straight to Lucifer!” He went to leave, but then turned around to add something else in. “I’m sure he would compensate me by letting me sell your dumb bike!” Again, he went to the door...and again, he stopped to add another comment. “And-and forget about me lending you money ever again!” Finally, he slammed the door behind him. Which meant that finally the fighting was over with. Peace and--

Someone took you by the shoulders, giving you a shake. Every nerve in your spine sparked, the feeling of being touched burning you up and leaving you chill all at once. You slapped the hands off your body and took a good few steps back. “Are you an absolute idiot?!” Mammon yelled. 

Who was he to talk to you like that? “Excuse me?”

“Struttin’ up and steppin’ right in the middle of a fight, did you wanna get hit?!” He outstretched his hand, ready to move your head. “Did he land one on ya?”

Blocking him, you used your arm to cover your face. “Don’t touch me.” The words came out harsh and yet desperate. You didn’t mean to sound so emotional. They left your chest heavy, and apparently the human picked up on it. He backed up, his arms dropping. He turned his head away from you with a snap of his tongue.

“Damn it! How am I supposed to pay him back by tomorrow?!” Mammon started pacing, the wheels in his head visibly turning. “First I lose my precious Golide, I can’t lose Ruby!” He really was near crying over this. He verbally shouted out ideas, most of which were getting more loans from others to pay off the one to his brother. Not a smart option. But, somehow he came to an even worse conclusion. “I’ll just have to gamble it back!” Suddenly he looked excited. “Today is a lucky day, I can feel it! That way, I get to have fun and Levi gets his money back! Win win!” Or a lose/lose, if he, you know, loses. But that aspect didn’t seem to even dawn on him. “Come on, get dressed!”

You blinked. “Huh?”

“Well, you’re coming with me, aren’t ya? Don’t you want to get out for a bit? I haven’t even seen you out of this room once, made me completely forget about ya!” He laughed, every bit of negative emotion gone from his body once the addiction of gambling was rushing through his veins. Without even really giving you a choice, he was opening your suitcases which you hadn’t bothered to unpack, handing you an outfit. “Come on, come on! I do better with someone there watching me!” Were all humans this into invading personal space, or was it just him? “It’ll be fun! I’ll show you my home away from home!”

Your top eyelid started to twitch. “Don’t you have someone else to drag around?” It was meant to be spiteful, maybe a bit hurtful to get him to go away, but he just slowed. Then a familiar hue clouded his bright eyes, dulling them. A color you knew too well, the color that stained your soul. The loneliness of isolation.

He shook his head, and although you could feel a bit of his aura cry, he just smiled. “Nah, n-not many people are good enough to hang out with the Great Mammon! So-so be thankful I’m inviting you along!” It was demanding, brash, boarding on rude, but yet it came off to you like a beg.

It nearly churned your stomach at the thought of casually spending time with a human...but...those were your commands. You couldn’t hole yourself up in this room forever. At some point you’d be expected to hand in your findings, to try to restore these brothers to see if humanity was capable of change. You turned over the human clothes in your hand, the style of them vastly different than you remembered human fashion being. Sighing out of your nose, you gave in. “Fine.” His expression almost blinded you as badly as the sun.

It was very clear to you that there wasn’t going to be a single mode of human transportation that you enjoyed. They were all loud, bumpy, and the smell of metal and plastic that stayed in your nose and settled on your tongue made you gag. Mammon, however, was extremely enthusiastic about them. He had brought you to a special room of the home called a ‘garage’ , a special resting room for the family’s many...many vehicles. Each sibling seemed to have just one car, but Mammon had a few. He had waved you over to his specific end of the large room, gesturing to--as he referred to them-- his treasures. A bright yellow low-set sleek one that he named ‘Amber’, a tall black one with a carriage for storage attached to it--called a truck apparently, but he just called it ‘Ob’. But the one he adored most was one that looked vastly different to the others. This was Ruby, the one Levi threatened to sell in exchange for the missing loan.

Although, if you were being honest, you didn’t understand why Mammon didn’t let him. “It’s broken,” you claimed.

“What?! My baby?!” He left your side immediately, scouring over it, his eye scanning over every inch of the thing. “What are you talking about? She looks fine.”

Was he blind? You pointed to it. “It’s missing two wheels. All your other motorized vehicles have four.”

Waving a hand at you, he scowled. “Don’t joke around about something like that! I thought you were serious for a second!” I was serious...Oh well...It wasn’t anything you wanted to concern yourself with. He threw his legs up over the bright red two-wheeled thing, sitting on it like one might a horse. After he fiddled with it for a second, it roared to life. The sound pounding in your head, meanwhile, Mammon was thrilled. “Ah, yeah!” The machine continued to make this deafening deep...scream. You brought your hands up to cover your ears. Did they like the noise? Was basic human hearing so dull that they didn’t find it inconvenient at all? “Come on! The sooner we get to a casino, the sooner I can get more monay!” Isn’t it supposed to be Levi’s money? Mammon seemed adamant that you join him on the...Ruby. You shook your head, and with a little frown, Mammon turned the infernal thing off. “What, are you motion sick or something? Usually people would die to take a ride on a bike like this! With me!”

“Do you have something quieter?”

Dismounting the bike, he pulled a ring of keys out of his pocket. He clicked a button and the black truck lights flashed. “I’m already startin’ to regret this. You’re a buzzkill, you know that don’t you? And here I thought Lucifer was the one who didn’t know what fun was like.” He opened the door and hoisted himself up into the car. It already sounded much quieter than Ruby. It still rumbled and made your heart leap, but it seemed steady. It appeared to you that luckily most cars operated the same way, so you remembered how to pull the handle to open the door. Settling yourself in the seat, you shut the opening behind you, trying to calm your already churning stomach. Waiting for the thing to start moving, you braced yourself, but the truck stayed motionless. “Hey, man, I know I just called you a buzzkill and all, but I can’t afford another ticket right now, so seatbelts on.”

You could only understand about half of those words. Trying to blend in with the human world was going to be harder than you thought. Maybe some studying was in order...But you had to come up with some sort of excuse that made it appear as if you knew what he was telling you. “I don’t have one.”

It was practically an insult that he looked at you with such disappointment. “Come on, playing dumb won’t work on me, Lucifer’s already pissed from the last time I got pulled over.” Individually the words themselves made sense, but the phrases were almost gibberish to you. Taking too long trying to piece things together, Mammon sighed, leaned over, much too close to you, reaching behind your head. He tugged on an extending fabric, pulled it across your body and attached it to a clasp near your hip. As it fastened, it clicked. A seat belt. Strange. Why was it necessary for them to restrain themselves like this? “Rule number one about hanging out with Mammon,” the human started pulling a similar belt around him. “When you’re in my car, I’m in charge!” He hit a button, extremely loud music pouring out of every corner of the car, making the entire carriage thump. Screaming to be heard above the audio, he tugged on a lever in the middle. “Whoo! Roulette, here I come!” Your insides lurched as the front of the room lifted open and Ob moved forward.

Off in the distance, two adolescent humans were pushing each other around, speaking much too loudly about idiotic things. The car a little ways to the right of you had a human with long hair and tired eyes sucking on a piece of metal, blowing smoke out of their mouth. And as lines of more vehicles chugged on, and people talked in ways you didn’t comprehend, it started to hit harder how far you were away from home. This was a foreign land, filled with sins and distractions at every corner. And...food dipped in liquid apparently. As you raised the bag, you felt the slick underside of it rub off against your fingers. “Oi, oi, oi, oi, don’t be like my brother and get greasy fingerprints all over the place! I just got Obby detailed!”

You placed the bag in your lap. “I thought this machine was named Ob?”

He smiled to himself. “Ob, Obby, they’re the same. Technically, it’s Obsidian, but I like to give ‘em nicknames you know? Anyways, I ain’t like Lucifer, you can eat, but just be careful, ya hear!” He reached a hand into his own bag while the other hand was on the directional wheel. He pulled out a...fried stick and put it in his mouth. Mammon had stopped by...it was called a drive-through. At least you were starting to get the hang of their fairly straightforward naming system. You didn’t want anything, but apparently he got you something anyway. You didn’t even know what was in here, and honestly you were a little scared to find out. It was...dare you say, rather polite of him to consider feeding you. “Lucifer’s gotta give me my card back for sure! For looking after you so nicely and all! You better be thankful! I don’t do this stuff for anyone, just so you know!” And of course his ego ruined the gesture completely. Every action he made was a move to get him closer to more material gain.

Appetite was lost on you, not that this sickly human food was appealing anyway. It was all too much. The stimuli of everything was driving you mad. You put the bag beside you, leaning against the inside of the car, trying not to notice the seatbelt and how suffocating it all felt.

Suddenly, the deafening music turned down. “Hey, hey, what’s wrong? You’re not feeling sick are ya? No being sick in my treasure!”

You were sick. Sick of all this. “I want to go home.”

Something about that must’ve resonated with him. He sighed, turning his head to look out the window. “Ah, geez…” Quickly, the mood turned awkward. “Hey, I mean, I can always turn around if you want.”

“Not your home. Mine.”

Mammon remained quiet at that, something that seemed like a rarity for him. It didn’t last for too long though. “They said your folks died, or something like that right?”

The lie the prince had come up with nearly made you laugh. You let out a single scoff instead. “Something like that.”

Even though you hadn’t been around Mammon for too long, he ended up surprising you. “That sucks, man...Listen...I-I know what it’s like.” The tone of his voice sounded uncertain, like this had been the first time in a long time that he’d been honest, vulnerable. The pitch was unsteady, struggling to try something on that he hadn’t worn in ages. “Losing someone...it stays with ya. Broke my family apart...if you can even call us that anymore nowadays. Once she was gone, we all found a different way to fill in the gaps.” There was humanity in him yet, buried deep beneath heavy sorrow. “But you know what helped me out the most?” You raised your head, actually wanting to look at him for the first time since you’d known him. Mammon pulled up into a lot littered with a bunch of other human cars. Just as you glanced at him, the goodness and seriousness in him retracted. He glanced out the window at a large shiny building. His particular “fill” he had mentioned had such a tight grip on him, it was hard to tell if he understood how much it controlled him. The lights of the casino hypnotized him, erasing any sense of despair that lingered in him. Or perhaps covering it up was a better explanation. This was no cure. “There’s nothing quite like a casino! Trust me,” He patted you on the shoulder. “Play a few games and you’ll forget that you wanted to go home in the first place!” Ob turned off, the shudder of the frame dying. Mammon hopped out of the car without a second thought, treading towards the entrance, leaving you behind. For a moment there had been awareness, a connection. Now, there was only one thing on his mind. Greed.

There were two options for you. Stay in this stuffy thing or follow the human inside. Neither were great options, unluckily. However, now your curiosity was piqued. Was it truly possible for this Morningstar to change? But did you have the patience to try? Maybe this was your own gamble. You landed on the solid grown below, making sure to remember to shut the door behind you. The bright white hair of the human was in your sights for only a second before he was engulfed in a crowd. At the worst, it might be fun to watch him fail...So inside you went.

If you thought outside was overstimulating, you were drastically underprepared for the contents of a human casino. Screens were flashing, noises rang out from every single inch, the carpet was almost louder than the buzzing in your ears. The aroma of tainted beverages and smoke sent your vision swirling. People bumped into you, some blind from crying, some far too lost in their indulgences to notice you were there. Mammon was gone. But even amongst all these attacks on your senses, there was one feeling that rose among them all. The presence of demons. You should’ve known a place like this where people sold their soul for the rush of a Jackpot would be where your kind thrived.

Knowing your luck, today would be the day Mammon lost more than the pot. You had to find him, quickly.

A circle of hell…this is what this had to be right? An hour had passed and still no sign of the cursed human. The only thing you kept note of was the same dumb sign that promoted some sort of membership that was obviously a borderline scam. You had seen it three times already…you were walking in circles. It wasn’t your fault! This place was a maze, a blinking, haze filled maze. You were running out of options, as well as sanity.

A large bulky man stood against the wall, keeping an eye over the many glossy-eyed consumers. You headed up to him. It took a second for him to notice you staring. “Yeah?”

“Have you seen a white-haired man, about this tall,” you moved your arm to about where he was against your own height. “Wearing a brown jacket?”

The man huffed out a laugh. “You think I remember everyone that walks past me? Listen, I’m just here making sure people behave. I’m afraid I can’t help you.”

Useless. Turning your back on the human, you walked off again, head on a swivel. Your eyes spotted a woman, still sober, also looking around for someone, maybe she’d spotted who you were searching for instead. Coming up behind her, you didn’t wait this time for them to notice you. “Excuse me?”

“Hm?” Brown curls bounced across her forehead.

“I’m looking for someone. Have you seen-“

The woman’s attention left yours, looking up past you. “Oh, there he is!” Following her gaze, you looked over your shoulder to see someone else entirely. Someone who was without a doubt not Mammon. Without listening to the rest of your question, she brushed you off, matching strides with the person she had found. So annoying…

Then a warm sounding voice pricked your ears. “I’m sorry I couldn’t help but overhear.” A different human man approached, someone with shaggy light brown hair with eyes to match, the shadow of a fresh growing beard darkening his jawline. His black leather jacket hung loose off his body, a few sizes too big, like it wasn’t his. Not to mention it smelled of cologne and cigarettes. “You’re looking for someone? I might’ve seen them, I’m good with faces.” His smile was wide and spotless, so flirtatiously perfect you had your doubts about him.

But any help would be worth it at this juncture. “White hair, golden brown eyes, a -“

“Mammon Morningstar, right?” The answer was so sudden. “He’s in here all the time, it’s hard to not remember him, you know? Well, that and he happens to be a good friend of mine.” The lungs in your chest stopped as soon as he put his arm around your shoulders. “Tell you what, why don’t we go find him together?” The mysterious helper started dragging you forward, and as he did, a few other people pulled away from their spots in the background, carefully weaving through the crowd, trying not to seem as if they were following you...but they were. Everything in you was tempted to tear the human off of you by his arm and chuck him into the nearest machine...but that would garner attention. “You know, it’s weird…” your escort wondered. “I’m really good with faces, and yet, I can’t seem to recall seeing yours. Where are you from?”

As blandly as you could, you gave him a completely honest half-answer. “Not here.”

The man laughed. “Oh, good!” Then he turned his questions in a different direction. “How long have you known Mammon? Because he hasn’t...ever mentioned someone like you before...and Mammon tells me everything.” The amusement was sour, bitter, just like this human’s soul. Simeon had been shocked when he’d discovered you’d never taken a mortal soul. But how could you when they were always so...revolting?

Your fondness for humans had already sunken to the bottom, but somehow you found yourselves wishing to be annoyed by Mammon rather than this…human in devil’s clothing. ”You’re asking all about me, and yet, I don’t know a single thing about you. What’s your name?”

Never give a magical being your name, that was the first thing legends taught humans, at least, the last time you visited they did. Either legends had long but died out, or this human was cocky enough to pass out his name to you on a silver platter. “It’s Cory.” As soon as he handed himself to you, demonic insight did the rest. Glimpses of terrible secrets, of all the wrong he had done in his life. What greed and anger had encouraged him to do. He was dangerous, and this human had Mammon centered in his focus. “But all my friends just call me Cash. So feel free to call me that too, yeah?” You opened your mouth, ready to finally get rid of this pest and drag Mammon to his house if you had to, but Cody’s arm left you. Outstretched, he moved away from your side to greet another familiar face. “There’s my Golden Boy!”

Standing in front of a table, rattling around dice in his palm, Mammon stopped himself from rolling them. At the sound of Cody’s voice, his shoulders tensed, his expression losing it’s playful tone. Cody’s hand’s gripped Mammon’s shoulders as he came up behind him. “C-Cash, fun-funny seeing ya here!”

It was obvious ‘Cash’ also wanted to avoid unwanted attention, although anger started to darken his eyes at the sight of his ‘good friend’. Ignoring the stuttering, Cody smiled. “How’s it going? Winning anything?”

Confidence faltering, Mammon tried to chuckle. “N-not yet.”

Three of the bodies that had been shadowing you and Cody stood directly behind you, far too close for comfort. There was something odd about their presence...You were picking up a smell, something you were sure human’s couldn’t possess. Yet, each of the humans behind you possessed something that was shockingly similar to dragon’s breath… Leaning in a bit closer to Mammon, Cash let some of his true colors show. “Well, I sure hope you start winning something soon.”

Another loaner had come to collect his dues.

Buddy! Congratulations! I’m so proud of you. You deserve it. 💜🤩 this event is everythingggg. When I was reading through the quotes I was picking where it was from and I just 🤩🤩

Can I request a fluff piece with Iwa? (Phrase 5 or 6) written or SMAU it doesn’t matter cause I love all your stuffs 😘😘

~♏️

The journey from the hospital to your shared home could easily be classified as an interrogation, albeit an unsuccessful one. After confirming that you were no longer in any pain, Iwaizumi had begun his investigation into the details of what occurred. However, instead of answering each targeted inquiry with a calculated response, you elected to sing out a song-lyric to tease your already stressed boyfriend. With the fibreglass supporting your injured hand and the pain killers lacing into your bloodstream, you felt perfectly normal. Hell, you wished you had the cast when you punched the idiot earlier. That way you could have broken more than his nose.

Once the vehicle pulled into the driveway, Iwaizumi instructed you to remain inside with an unnaturally long sigh. Your brows knitted together in curiosity as you watched him jog around the car to greet you on the passenger side. After tugging open the door completely, his gaze travelled from your cast to the surrounding area.

“You know my other hand works fine, right? And nothing is going to happen, stop that.” Exiting the car, a playful smile graced your lips. It was a small attempt at dismantling his concerns, and it could have worked if he bothered to return his attention to you.

“No.” His refusal was muttered plainly, indicating the matter was not up for debate. That was the thing with Hajime. Once his overprotective nature had activated, there was no stopping him.

“Haj, don’t be mad at me. I’m okay, I promise.” The second after he finished closing the passenger side door, you hooked an arm through his before batting your eyelashes up at him.

“I know you’re fine, but I’m not. I don’t like seeing you hurt.” The athletic trainer squinted at you, swallowing the growl that threatened to sound in his throat. “Can you blame me?” Removing his stare from yours, he fished out the keys to the house. As he unlocked the door and guided you inside, a sigh of defeat rolled off your lips.

“I guess not.”

Iwaizumi was mostly satisfied with your admission, a fact illustrated by the weakened scowl on his features. Now that he successfully brought you into the safety of the living room, he could breathe a little easier.

“Just go rest. I’m gonna make us some food.” He was about to shrug off his coat when his irises landed on you and the facial expression you had adorned.

The infamous puppy dog expression. One of the many expressions that would melt the man’s heart within seconds. With an intake of breath, he curled an arm around your waist, leading your body closer to his. Eliminating the space between your faces, he placed a gentle kiss against your jutted bottom lip then another against your forehead. Each kiss that was applied had more of an impact on your body than the injury he was currently nursing. Noticing your weakened knees, a faint smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth.

“Idiot.” Once he released you from his hold, Iwaizumi administered a flick to your forehead, an action that led your dramatic self to collapse onto the couch behind you.

“My heart.” As you tried to recover from the soft gestures, your boyfriend finally removed his jacket, tossing it against the corner of the couch. Before he exited the living room, the trainer stole one final glance in your direction, humour bringing his eyebrows to raise. Of course, you were pretending to “melt” into the couch.

This was the same girl who punched a guy in the face hours ago? You really were something.

Minutes after Iwaizumi exited the room you shifted on the couch, no longer interested in maintaining a performance for an empty audience. As you squirmed around on the cushions, attempting to find the best position, you discovered his discarded jacket. Plucking the fabric up, a mischievous grin plastered against your visage. If you couldn’t cuddle with your boyfriend, you could at least cuddle with his jacket. 

The cloth had also completely absorbed his intoxicating scent, filling your senses with him.

Yeah. You could sleep like this.

Dinner took Iwaizumi a little longer than he anticipated. The recipe had stated the prep and cook time should be around an hour – it took him almost two hours. His ego was slightly bruised by his failure to complete the task during the allotted time, but at least it tasted good. After setting the table, he removed the apron from around him and then proceeded to the living room. Not once did it occur to him that he left a certain object within your reach - something you were not supposed to find. 

To his horror, you were no longer asleep on the couch. Instead you were playing a game on your phone with his jacket blanketing over you. Once you noticed his presence, excitement ignited inside your eyes. But confusion joined the emotion seconds later when you traced the panic he was struggling to conceal.

“Come on. Food is ready.” Clearing his throat with an artificial cough, he reached forward to grab the coat casually. Except instead of releasing the fabric, you grasped it tighter, sitting up in the process.

“Why are you being so suspicious?” The question spills from your lips too soon, because the answer is granted a moment later. The final tug on the material had resulted in the emergence of an item you were unaware of for the last two hours. The velvet box dropped onto the ground, the low thud sounding louder than the chaos ensuing inside of Iwaizumi’s chest.  “Haj…”

“It’s empty.” Scarlet coloured his neck as he engaged in a staring battle with the inanimate object. This was wrong – this wasn’t how it was supposed to go. But lying would certainly not fix the situation now. “Okay, it’s not. Let’s just pretend this didn’t happen.”

If you were drowsy before you were absolutely awake now. The butterflies inside your stomach were celebrating and your heart was seconds from caving in from the suspense. “Hajime. If you don’t ask me that question now, I’m going to ask you. And I want you to realize that I don’t have a ring, so I’m going to tie a rubber band around your finger.” 

He hated how he knew you would say something along those lines. 

Lowering himself onto one knee, he retrieved the box and tried to calm the sirens alarming inside his mind. He had something prepared – something he had rehearsed 100 times in front of the mirror, and 100 times in front of Oikawa. So why the hell was he frozen? Slowly his eyes lifted from the box to meet your expecting gaze.

“L/n f/n, you are one incredibly infuriating woman.” A laugh escapes your lips at the statement, and the sound brings a smile to his mouth. “You drive me insane. Sometimes I don’t know if I should be protecting you, or if the world needs protection from you. But what I do know is there is no one like you. You make me want to kill people I don’t know, but you also make me a better man.” The tears blurring your vision cause his heart to shoot up from his chest into his throat, the sensation wasn’t painful, however. It only made his following words sound much lighter. “I love you more than I ever knew was possible. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Whether that means picking you up at the hospital when you’re an idiot, or loving you when you act like a clown… I want to be there for it all. So, will you make me the happiest man and marry me?”

By the time he finally voiced the question you were patiently waiting for, your cheeks were puffed and stained with mascara.

“Of course I will, you gorgeous man!” Instinctively you offered out your right hand, forgetting the protective layer around it. For a moment your eyes flickered from the cast to the ring held out ahead of you. Iwaizumi expelled a chuckle at your dilemma, then took your left hand, slipping the ring on.

“You know in some countries they wear these on the left side anyway.” The adrenaline of the situation had hit its climax, and all he could do was grin at you with love and joy.

Once the ring was settled against your finger, another chorus of sobs rang out as you jumped onto him, peppering kisses all over his face.

“I love you so much. Let’s go get married now.” Pausing your storm of affection, a toothy smile was presented towards him. Iwaizumi rolled his eyes playfully then ruffled your hair.

“How about we eat first and then go get married?”

A/N: I really hope you guys like this lololol

ROTTMNT Headcannons for a Friend ~ S/O being sick.

Sorry i'm damnnnn late but translating this took a me while hahaha I hope you get better soon dear!!! @turtlestanfirst.

Raph

> Calls you all the fluffiest pet names with that sweet "hey buddy" tone all the time you are sick.

> Rather visit you than having you in quarentene by Donnie on the lair (and also to have some time alone)

> Raph is most likely to pick you up for anything, so forget about being able to walk for a while.

> Tries to cook for you, but it's always the same Raph special Hot Soup™ (ramen noodles with maccaroni and spaguetti pasta, Raph is a high-cab guy) still, is warm as his heart and a delight.

> He understands how tired you must feel so he suggest soft activities (having netflix marathons of movies, a console game, board games, BUT NEVER FUCKING UNO HE WILL CRY IF YOU THROW HIM THAT +4 CARD)

> He's the one who would probably ask you if you wanted him to leave or if you want to be alone, he thinks he's too suffocating. (It is a little, but you know, he cares too much)

> Builts a pillow fortress for you and when entering he says: "you need something, your majesty?" He just treats you like royalty.

> Blast your favorite songs and sings for you in the smoothest jazzy voice. (you know his beautiful deep ass voice)

> Let's say you are so entretained you and Raph forget the time for your meds, still you take em, but like 5 hours late.

> Raph constantly talks about his family and friends. He's the one to bring up deep conversations topics (about him being the leader , not being good enough, concerned by his brothers dumbassery) and you open up as well. Raph is full of emotions and loves to be listened to and he'll do the same for you.

>His eyes become crystalline when you start coughing or when the thermometer marks a mild fever.

> He tries to clean your place. Tries, but most likely to trash it a little bit more... Just a little.

> When you told him you were sick he came rushing, didn't even think of getting sick himself, so, after you recover is most likely you have to take care of him.

> Dumb dumb also didn't tell his family where tf he was, so he made his family a little concerned.

Donnie

> Boy thinks He's Dr. House or some shit like he'll ask you all you symptoms and then he tells you with his dorky "Mr. I know all" smirk that is a rare desease that you can only adquire on the amazon rainforest like... You have a cold.

> Doesn't want to get sick (a waste of time) and definitely don't want anyone on the lair sick cuz they are DRAMATIC AF when they get sick.

> So he suits himself up with those NBC suits and ask you to stay in a (previously prepared) station in the lab, which is basically a sickbed with some comfy futons (that he stole from Leon), with a screen near for your entretainment, and tons of pillows.

> Programs Shelldon so you can have your meds on time or if you need something he can bring it to you.

> You may find a plushie in the station and ask Donnie where he got it and he'll tell you with the most monotone and uninterested tone : "Oh I took it from Leon, it was with the pillows, don't mind it, you can take it home if you want"

> YEAH THE BITCH TOTALLY FOUGHT A CAT FOR IT ON THE FUCKING DUMPSTER AND HE'S SCREAMING INTERNALLY WHEN YOU SAY: "Thanks, it's cute."

> He'll work on some project but high-key is not, he's watching you all the time, like you are watching some dank ass memes and look over to see him and he does that "thing", you know when you pretend you stare at nothing when they catch you staring at someone?

> He' wearing the suit but with any barely improvement of the symptoms he'll take it off and get closer to you cuz he misses being close to you.

> Won't allow you to be just in bed tho, he says activity is important. So he takes you out to dance to your favorite songs and his weeb songs. (Bootyyyshaker9000 entered the game)

> When you are getting ready to go to sleep, he tucks you in, gets his caffeine overdose and in your deep dream state he plugs you in a machine to continue to monitor your sickness.

> Gets sick cuz he's a dummy and took the suit to early, also not enough sleep can lower your defenses.

Leon

>Ok low-key the doctor of the family, (I live for this HC of Leon being a doctor) knows right away you are sick when you come in the lair.

> Also doesn't want you in quarentene (Damn Donnie it's not time to test that gigant quarentine snow globe protocol) so takes you to the "Neon City". (Leon's room is filled with Neon signs of all kinds.)

> Lets you use his bed, no questions and doesn't take a no for an answer. (plus his eye mask)

> In the shelfs they are these plants and miniature zen garden, rubik's cube, some origami stuff, figurines....he shows you how to take care of the plants, solve 3d puzzles, even teaching you origami (Leon is a very zen person, if he doesn't have a break from the meme lord he is he would've snapped a long time ago) and his personal favorite: sewing patches to his gigant bed sheet (he started trimming pieces of fabrics and putting em together, remember they aren't rich but resourceful) just to keep you entretained.

> But board games are next level shit, you don't want to play because Leon is a really bad loser/winner he's dumbass and will always complain.

> You two end up watching compilations of memes and vines for HOURS, until you decide is time to watch a movie, but wait its the fucking 69 movies of Jupiter Jim the only thing in the catalogue.

> But you love to reenact your favorite scenes with him, and maybe, just maybe he would let you be Captain Jim this time.

> We all know Leon is really clumsy, yet he's really gentle and soft when he wants to. He treats you the same as always (quoting shitty vines and hideous oneliners from time to time) but he tries to touch you a lot more and if you think of something it's like he already read you mind and bring you what you wanted or needed. Smooth mofo.

> Leon isn't obsessive when it's something mild (like a cold) he knows is something temporary and just want you to keep you distracted, without feeling suffocated or making you feel you can't do anything.

> But if it was something like a broken bone, beatings in general or you having a relapse in any major illness he would get depressed. He won't be as bright with you or with others, his behaivor would shift from 100 to 1 until you get better.

> In this last scenario, silently cries when people he cares about (that are in this state) are asleep, cuz he can't make them heal faster or make them feel better. His brothers snap, are agressive, are short tempered and anxious when they are in this situation, Leon just shuts down and bottles up his feelings of impotence.

>Also another dummy who gets sick, he's a pain in the ass who thinks he's gonna die soon, but give him all the attention an cuddles and he'll be a good boy.

Mikey

>Stole literally all the comfy items (plushies, futons, shelldon, Raph's hot soup) to give it to you.

> Mikey is not knowledgable in med stuff, so he often ask Leon or Donnie about your sickness but won't credit them lol.

> The entire time wears a classic halloween costume nurse hat and wears a white coat and a fake glasses with a mustache when he wants to be a doctor. (plus: makes his voice a little deeper)

> He says that the lair isn't at all like a hospital but the hospital is made by all the good will people of the personal that want to help others, so he dresses up to make you feel in one. You can't help but enjoy everytime he changes from a nurse to a doctor having their monologues about payday and gossiping about the "other" staff.

Dr. Mikey: "Dr. Saenz just told me that he's firing Barbara because he didn't bought him the right sidedish with his pizza."

Nurse Mikey: "hOW DARES BARBARA DISRESPECT DR. SAENZ ONION RINGS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE"

> And takes the game kinda far.

Dr. Mikey: "yOU INSURANCE DOESN'T COVER THIS!!!"

You: "Ok doctor what about if I make a deposit of hugs in the bank for this?"

Mikey:"O-okay!!!! I'm the bank man now!!! (Totally changed into a bank man just adding a red tie)

> Mikey won't turn down your entretainment, neither his. So he'll paint and let you paint saying is your recovery therapy.

> You would have a lot of fun but sometimes you'll feel a little ashamed to show what you did because honestly Mikey is really good, nontheless he'll will always compliment your art and keeps everysingle piece in storage (even things you think he should throw away).

> Mikey's meds skills are basically laugh therapy.

> While his brothers are calm he kinda panics and pretends everything is okay, until he trips on an imaginary banana peel or drops just one of your pills he snAPS and says he's sorry he's not a good enough nurse/doctor in the verge of tears. (Of course you later reasure him his not.)

> He's just so active but he knows you can cope with him, it's sorta frustraiting to him to lower her normal energy levels.

> Doesn't get sick, surprisingly.

[thefloatingstone]

In 2012 I did not think I’d be able to make this list as I was convinced anime was on a permanent decline towards nothing but trash, but I am so happy that has changed! And so I give you a quick list of;

Favourite Anime made in the last 4 years!

Mob Psycho 100 (2016)

A no brainer, really. With a 2nd Season having JUST premiered earlier this week, MP100 is easily one of not only best LOOKING animes in a very very long time, but also one with an extremely strong empathetic message that’s completely opposite to most shounen anime. The theme of “having outrageous powers doesn’t make you any more or less special and important than any other human being” and how all the villains in the show are people, either super powered or not, who believe themselves “more important” than others is at the heart of its story. And our protagonist who is a person with horrifically strong powers, but who is trying to develop as a human being, and finds himself to be a rather emotionally brittle person who relies very heavily on others for emotional support. As well as focusing on the people willing to grant him that. It’s got some strong influential roots in the Earthbound and Mother 3 games and despite never saying anything along those lines, I can bet you anything the original Mangaka, ONE, drew heavy inspiration from their tone and presentation, as well as emotional core despite the oftentimes wacky setting.

The anime should also not be overlooked for its incredible Sakuga sequences, as well as using mixed media in its animation from pencil drawings, to paint of glass, to charcoal to sand, cementing it as easily one of the most visually interesting and ambitious shows in the last decade or so

Made in Abyss (2017)

An anime that understands concepts of Scope and Scale and manages to bring what is normally reserved for feature films to an episodic storyline. Made in Abyss’ entire theme and story is that of exploration of the unknown and everything in this anime’s power is honed to bring across that feeling. Its art direction headed by Osamu Masuyama whose previous work include working on the background art for both Spirited Away and Howl’s Moving Castle, is painstakingly rendered to bring as much gravitas to the setting as possible, aided by the soundtrack written by Kevin Penkin which is just as much atmospheric as it is musical in nature. Every ounce of talent is focused on making Made in Abyss’ world, culture and characters feel solid and real. And unlike other anime with cutesy art styles but dark subject matter, Made in Abyss’ darker tone is established right in the first episode and gradually builds to its first season’s climax, rather than blindside its audience out of nowhere.

I sincerely cannot sing this show’s praises enough.

It also doesn’t hurt that the animation itself is fluid and lively.

Re:Creators (2017)

When I gave this to an animator friend of mine, one who is NOT as big a weeb as I am, he referred to it as “if Ready Player One actually knew what it was doing.” Re:Creators is one of a trend of some anime where the narrative is extremely meta in nature, but rather than use this as a form of parody, Re:Creators instead focuses itself on using its meta storytelling to shine a light on Japanese popular media as a whole, both from the side of the creators who MAKE such things, as well as the side of the fans and not only their response to media, but their interpretation and addition to popular media. And unlike the more critical approach several horror anime have taken in the past, Re:Creators also shows the positive effect stories in the form of anime, video games, manga etc both on those who read it as well as those who create it. And show how fan creations and their responses and reaction to media are just as important and enriching to works like this as the very people who create them.

It’s also one of the first shows from any country that correctly portrays what online fan culture is like. Both good AND bad.

Erased (2016)

HOO BOY. The Big Guns. Most mainstream anime set in a modern setting inevitably seem to involve high school or at least characters who are high school aged. Erased, however, deals with a protagonist who is 28 years old. Due to time travel shenanigans, he is transported back to 1989 when he was 11 years old growing up in Hokaido. So already, this anime is complete skewing the generic setting for stories of its type, further hammered in by the fact that the show has no romantic subplot in it. There might be a smidge of something like “preteen romantic feelings” among the children but as far as “female hero the protag is going to fall in love with at the end” goes? Yeah there’s none of that.

Erased is an extremely dark anime, but not in the way Made in Abyss is dark. Whereas Abyss’ dark tone comes from things like getting eaten by monsters and body horror caused by the Abyss’ curse, the dark theme of Erased on the other hand is much more horrifying as it comes from “reality”. And it’s because of this I WILL have to warn people about its plot points because it WILL and DOES get uncomfortable.

The plot of Erased is our 28 year old protagonist gets hurled back in time to when he was 11 years old in Hokaido, as I said. In the winter of 1989 there were a string of child abductions and murders, and it’s up to our main character, again in his 11 year old body, to solve these crimes to prevent a tragedy in modern day. Not only does the show deal with the very uncomfortable topic of child abduction and murder, but a MASSIVE part of the plot revolves around the would be murder victim, Hinazaki Kayo, who is living with her physically abusive mother. And unlike shows like “Magical Girl SITE”, the abuse is not shown as “suffer porn” and blown up to be so over the top in how bad it is, ut is instead extremely grounded and feels waaaay to real to the point of being very upsetting. However, the abuse is not there to make the audience sad. The abuse is in the plot to further press upon the audience the borderline helpless state our main character is in. As a child, he has to rely on his experience and ability to think like an adult to try and prevent the serial murders, as WELL as try and get Hanazaki out of her abusive situation. It also serves as a learning experience for our main character, and him figuring out how he hasn’t changed at all since he really was a child, and how his own stagnation in life itself needs to change and be redirected. The show is bursting with tension and every episode exists to turn the stakes up just a little bit higher.

I’ve heard some people are extreme disappointed by the show’s ending which I will not spoil, but personally going into it completely blind, I didn’t find any of it to be a let down and its very quickly become one of my favourite anime of all time.

The Ancient Magus Bride (2017)

(I actually don’t like the intro to Ancient Magus Bride so it only gets a link since I can only embed 5 videos)

https://youtu.be/KuZbmLLv1vM

Based on a manga by Kore Yamazaki, who has stated that her reason for writing the story was out of frustration that in “Beauty and the Beast” type stories, the beast always turns back into a human at the end. However this anime is far more than just a monsterfucker’s romance novel (although it... DOES follow a LOT of those tropes but hear me out.)

Set in the English countryside (although our female MC, Rise, is herself Japanese) the show makes heavy use of english folklore. Faeries are a constant presence throughout the show, and these are not the “nice” kind of faeries you’d see in Disney. Despite theyr good nature and honest want to help, these are the kinds of faeries that will kidnap you to their realm if you so much as let your guard down. We also have excellent portrayals of Titania, the queen of the faeries, and her heated relationship with her husband Oberon. Several other creatures from folklore make an appearance too, as well as old traditions such as faerie rings, seeing stones and the magical properties of herbs and flowers.

But beyond all of that, and even beyond the romance tropes or monster protector who is also a threat and powerful lead female who also needs protecting, the core theme of the show is on life. Or more specifically, death. Rise is a girl who is suicidal. And despite her not making any kind of suicide attempt in the show, this is a fact. The majority of the show is focused on Rise learning to “be alive” again, as well as process what life is, as well as what death is in its many forms. The show is a slow build of Rise reclaiming her will to live, not because of a romantic partner, but for herself. Reclaiming her own importance as a person removed from who she could be useful towards, and a slow coming to terms with a truly terrible event in her past and letting go of a traumatic past.

The show has some pacing issues here and there, but I still qualify it as one of the better modern anime shows to have come out in years, and can only praise its life-affirming message it’s trying to tell.

Osomatsu-San (2015)

I am.... not entirely sure how to explain Osomatsu-San.

Based on a manga published in the 1960s by Doraemon Creator Fujio Fujiko about 6 identical sextuplet brothers and their friends... the current and newest anime adaptation has borderline nothing to do with its original incarnation which was more your typical Showa era “hi-jinx” type gag manga. I think the very first episode of Osomatsu-San (which is not available for official purchase last I checked due to copyright issues) sets up the entire show perfectly, as the 6 boys and their friends learn they have a new anime adaptation coming up and realise that nobody in the modern age will want or even understand Showa era manga. So, instead, in an effort to be like “a real anime” they go about parodying literally every popular trope and show that’s out at the time. From yaoi-incest baiting to Jpop boy band to Attack on Titan to Sailor Moon, they keep cranking up the “modern anime” aesthetic until it literally explodes and collapses in on itself. And after realising they don’t have what it takes to compete in a modern anime word, the characters resign themselves to being losers who will never achieve anything in life.... and that’s where the show starts.

I can only refer to the show as “Millennial humour: the anime.”. 90% of it is just comedy with our 6 main characters who are, at their core, pretty terrible people. However, their issues and struggles of trying to be adults make them some of the most relateable anime characters out there. The show bounces from parodying popular culture both in anime as well as in movies to outlining the problems of trying to be a late 20-something year old in modern society to actual hard hitting drama that actually makes you angry because how DARE this stupid show actually make you FEEL things???

It’s borderline impossible to try and explain this show because, just like its 6 protagonists, it doesn’t seem to have any direction in its life. Which is exactly the point.

Me:You let a pyro have a match... What did you think she was going to do? Just light her cigarette?

My dad, almost having his eyebrows singed off:Yes

Me:...I'm disappointed

My dad:As you should be.

2018 Game of the Year Countdown!

#1- The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC (& FC)  Sony PSP, Steam Created by: Falcom (2007, 2004) Localized by: XSeed (2015, 2011)

The top spot goes to technically a pair of games (FC and SC stand for first and second chapter) because they’re really a single story arc. And what a story it was. I first discovered Trails in the Sky when I went looking for good RPGs for the PSP, and every single list I found had FC on it. I figured it had to be good, even when I hadn’t ever heard of it before. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but I’m so glad I did. 

Trails in the Sky is the beginning of Falcom’s Kiseki series, which is a series of games extremely heavy on extensive world building, deep plots, and lots of characters that come alive through the storytelling. It’s also huge. As of right now, nine games exist, of which only five have official English releases. But these games have plots that are so completely interwoven that it’s hard to fully enjoy without beginning with Trails in the Sky and going through in order. That might sound like a daunting task, but I’ve found myself wishing there were even more games in the series. The world is just so deep and interesting, with so many great characters and locations that I want to learn about. Even NPC allies that only show up a couple of times are so compelling and fun that I found myself trying to find out everything about them. 

A YouTuber recently created a fantastic summary video of the world of Kiseki, which you can check out here. It’s long, but so is the Kiseki series.

Trails in the Sky stars the best-written protagonist in video games. Estelle Bright shows so much growth that she is not even close to the same character by the time the three Trails in the Sky games are over. But the best part: it’s all natural. It’s never forced, and there are never any out-of-character events that push the growth in an irregular way. She is genuine, stands up for what is right, is fiercely loyal to her friends, and, having experienced loss multiple times, she fights to show others that they’re not alone and that people care for them. And, she does all of this in the face of her own shortcomings and flaws, many of which are laid bare in front of everyone. 

I can’t say it better than this person did, so here are some Tweets on the matter:

The other characters are also all great. They each have their turn in the spotlight, although some try to steal it at every opportunity (looking at YOU, Olivier). And they all feel human. Their motivations are things we can relate to and their problems are things that grab hold of our hearts. From not fitting in, to running away from problems instead of facing them, and being afraid to accept love after a lifetime of pain; the game addresses all of these. If you made me pick my favorites, Estelle is definitely #1, but I’d fill out my party of four with Kloe, Joshua, and Father Kevin.

Gameplay is fairly simple and straightforward as far as RPGs go. Battles have a turn order, HP, their version of mana and magic, etc. Nothing surprising there. I do like how they each have their own unique special moves that can interrupt the enemy’s turn, but Trails in the Sky was originally published in 2004, so there isn’t anything too earth-shattering. It does offer a challenge in most boss battles, and there is a difficulty called “Nightmare” if you’re sadistic. The orbment (magic) system, however, is very customizable. So while certain characters definitely lean toward certain roles, you can basically make anyone do anything, especially Estelle. My favorite gameplay aspect from most RPGs comes down to what I can do with the magic casters, so the fact I had so much customization at my fingertips was thrilling and I loved the battles almost as much as Estelle does:

As I said earlier, the world building is immense and the storytelling is exquisite. I can’t even do it justice to summarize how the writers created a vast, profound history for this game. All I can say is that it’s immersive and addicting. Even seemingly unimportant NPCs will have full histories all their own that play out when you talk to them multiple times after different events. 

Now, without giving too much away, FC ends on a massive cliff-hanger; which is where I want to talk about the music. I’ve said it before: music is one of the most important things to me when it comes to games. And Trails in the Sky nails it. As the final scene of FC plays out and the ending credits begin, when you realize what just happened and you see the images that hint at what’s to come in SC, the music perfectly plays to your emotions. I watched it all with my jaw hanging and tears welling up in my eyes (I’m not kidding!). Even when I listen to the song right now, it makes me feel all those emotions again. And that’s on top of solid overworld and city music, and wonderful battle tunes. Every track is really good. My favorites are The Whereabouts of Light from the end credits, Infiltration, Fight with the Assailant, and a neat remix of one of the battle tunes that sounds like it’s straight out of Mario Kart 8.

All I can say is play these games. They’re wonderful classic-style JRPGs and they’re constantly on sale on Steam or PSN if you’ve got a PSP or Vita. FC is a great game in its own right, but SC builds on it so much and there is truly no gap between them so it’s seamless and they feel like just one game. The small, growing community of fans of this series sings its praises loudly, and people are continually discovering it. I’m currently on my second playthrough of SC, and I’ve played FC three times just this year. One of those was the (unlocalized) remastered version for Vita…which I only have in Chinese. And I don’t know any Chinese, despite rooming with four Chinese girls when I studied abroad. I’m just a huge Kiseki weeb now, I guess, and I felt like I needed to play it.

I never played a Kiseki game before 2018, and now it’s my favorite game series of all time. I’ll quote the YouTuber I mentioned earlier, who says, “In the first nine entries in this series, Falcom has created the deepest and most fleshed-out universe I have ever experienced in fiction...Truly, no one in video games anywhere is attempting what Falcom is with this series.” And that pretty much sums up why I love it so much. Trails is an RPG game for RPG fans and if that sounds like you...you really need to pick it up.

I could talk about any of the games in the Kiseki series for hours, so don’t hesitate to drop something into my inbox!! If you’d like to read another long description of why the Trails series is phenomenal, you can find that here.

I'm honking about 20 nowm and uhm im a girl I want a boy pleabs romantic f/o oc pleabs *yeets* I'm a dork and a weeb and a dweeb uvu and I'm p much an emotional mess most of the time and I can get really loud when excited. *does a whip* (sorry I have a fever so im acting wORSE) I like to art and write and sing so hbgfdgh and I'm not too picky what I like about people. I do like bad boys tho s o uh *sweats* & I don't mind anything , but if you slap me with satan I'll probably cry.

I hope you feel better soon!

I match you with:

Hayate!

(I’m too worn out to redraw him so here’s picrew for ya)

Hayate is a 21 year old scientist cyborg. When it was his 21st birthday he was forced into tests run by a corrupted scientist that fused his once human body to a bunch of machinery.

He’s cold, blunt, and nearly emotionless; to the point that he seems like a cold-hearted jerk. However he is very protective over those he cares about, even though he will deny caring about them.

And hoo boi seeing his loved one cry? That is the WORST for him. So if you ever start crying over anything, he’ll start to worry and try to soothe you. Your loud excitement, however, will indeed startle him. He might even jump a little.

He has quite the passion for art, even though he more builds things than draws. So you might catch him time to time watching you draw. He’s a huge people-watcher, so he loves reading the various hand motions you make while drawing.

Reading isn’t a strong suit of his. He reads blueprints, instructions, and codes just fine, but actual books and stories? It’s hard. However if you want him to read something of yours, he will do it. It’s something you enjoy writing, so he will express interest in it. And who knows, he might actually like it!

Though most of the time he works in silence, he finds your voice soothing and enjoying hearing you sing while he works. He might even hum along, who knows?

[fmdxjerome]

hello people from old and new! naomi is back in action with her son jerome. i’ve been stuck in my sisters house for the last weeks of my absence because she went on vacation and i had to take care of a sick rabbit who peed everywhere. i might have a disease now at the amount he bit me but what can you do. im joking. you might ask “but naomi doesnt your sister have wifi” yes she do but i’m an anxious wreck so spending my days on a first floor apartment  with my sister on the other side of the world w an infected foot had me fucke d upppp boiii but now i’m back in my own home and my sister + her boyfriend are safely home!! foot all fine!! and everyone is calm again!! so!! i can return with a good heart. i’ll be sliding in the dms of the people who bear emoticon’ed me 600 years ago and bc i suck w introducing myself to new people i’ll just hi!!!!! i think when i wake up i’m gonna do a “bio reading” marathon as i write bc i need to appreciate. also shit i need more threads wow i suck might see me replying to some open starters and def need to get back to plotting bc there are some people i’ve been dying to thread with ;^;

Jerome Gauthier aka Yuddy

-Anti idol

-Has an okay reputation but that’s because he’s smart about things.

-BC eyeing him tho *eyes fake friends with good reputation for him to hang out with* (hmu for fake friend plots. funny the person w the best rep of all actually likes jerome. bless jisoos christ. guess that praying on knees worked out in the end huh jerome. /dont/ sainthood is waiting)

-Talented™. (ask him to write songs for you) (Actually have a few songs in my library i want him to write but not sing so *eyes*)

-Passionate as fuck don’t mess with him in the studio (passionate all over tbh)

-Adopted and in search of his bloodlines

-Hoe but not really

-Actually, scrap that. Nicknames him JerHOEme

-Is actually lovely

-But acts like a shit

-Slips up and is soft to people sometimes before being a complete and utter asshole the next second

-bc soft jerome whOMST i only know deMON

-Suave Fuckboy who’s nonchalant about everything

-French™

-Will call you baby at some point in your life

-Signature smirk

-Egotistic???? Narcissistic??? a lil bit don’t stroke his ego

-Secretive™. not much info on his time in france

-Secretly a dad without children (except for his actual biological son insoo aka chorizo sausage who he goes to play ball with- i mean work on songs in the studio. seriously catch him picking up his son from soccer practice i mean shit no i mean- ok insoo is really his son dont fight me on this.)

-And also has a daughter an Oriental shorthair cat called Edith who he is so soft with he kicks out girls to cuddle with her. (one meow and he’s home)

- we support WISH hating jerome in this household. please people who have girls in WISH dont let them like him (or be a rebel and go against the mothers wishes but you’ve been warned)

-Dont let him get in your pants too like ask wren you dont want that (or i mean with the list of kinks i peeped maybe idk who am i to say what your muse wants or does not want idk im just protecting people from satan)

-Unlikely he’ll get in any pants now anyway tho bc he a proud shopper at papa juliens pizza and y’all some other brand type ish domino lookin asses NAH *throws hands up* rome’s in the house (no but guys. this is his soulmate THIS IS HIM. dISgUStiNG- )

-In 2016 interview took him out of context and it looks like he hates all idol rappers but is not true. He just doesn’t like companies making rap out to be like this thing you can do if you’re pretty and you can’t sing and he doesn’t like it when said pretty idols know nothing of it. he gets the grind but will side eye (benjy nd jerome already have a rivalry bc of this shit thank u interviewer)

-Dating scandals?? EHH. He almost had one with a Japanese model called Momo in the beginning of his career but BC did well of spinning them as friends and he legit had one with his ex last october which?????????? shit she touched his *spoiler* and it was *spoiler* . BC about to ban him from fashion shows damn. yoonah and him have to go to paris fashion week quick

-BC has yet to force him into a relationship tho. but damn he gonna be angry when that ever happens yoo. 

-Studied to become a cinematographer. Now is annoying as fuck during recording MV’s bc he butts into everything (BUT thats why his his mvs so AESTHETIC. eye for beauty bois)

-Holler at ya boi if you want a nice mv he’s involved like that

-Also to the girls who have been in an MV with Jerome.. know he probably flirted with you between takes bc during he’s grade a professionalism but he still a ho

-Actual catlady no questions asked (he feeds stray cats and gets cut up by edith when she smells other cats on him rip)

-Actual wife material no questions asked (to quote the great Halit Yilmaz during that time Jerome stood in the kitchen for hours making baklava and other Turkish treats for Halit’s Eid al-Fitr: “Shit, Jerome if you were a girl i’d marry you in a heartbeat.” and its true. we would ALL marry jerome. who says no is lying. )

-Smooth™

-Ok the ego thing btw its weird its an act but hes weird about it dont ask

idk what else to write ok short rundown of his bio as again i’m writing a new one and i cringe every time i look at my old one. im probs forgetting a lot but EYO ITS 6AM WHO CARES

CHILDHOOD age 0 to 10

-Born to a single mom who got fucked over by a smash nd dash dad. (we side eye Ok Chanwook in this household.)

-Moms family discouraged her from taking care of him herself so putting up for adoption it is.

-Very emotional not ok mom boram cry a lot pls. (got v angry too like boi if she ever sees chanwook again he can change his name to no dick larry)

-Adopted by a French couple called Lucas and Daphné (previously named Annelies). pretty kool peeps

-JK racist assholes who fetishize jerome a lot. PLEASE. the yellow fever runs deep. take him away from them,

-Raised in a small town in France and knew 0 Asians growing up. so thats nice

-Loves his adoptive grandpa to death tho (who’s he named after u3u)

-Actually hates the rest lol

-Ok uncle Rémy pretty cool bc he laughs at teen!Jerome shit talking his parents and aunt Camille. She a sweety ;3; a bit odd but a sweety #stanauntCamille

-Basically the people on the Gauthier side and born from Jerome and Clemintine are ok, the rest is shit (except for his dad Lucas. He a Gauthier but he shit)

-Junior/Senior relationship w granpda ;3; “Pépé!!” “Junior!!” *tiny jerome swings around grandpa’s neck* LOVE

-Grandma passed when he was 9. (he loved her very much and would always show her his drawings on her bed ;-;)

-Hard time adjusting at first when he was a tiny toddler. had a lisp talking french. ;3; baby rome

-young jerome had a bad case of the abandonment issues he literally held onto his dads leg for like 30 minutes before the teacher finally peeled him away from him. my smol boi

-Elephants. remember this. is important. /sob

-TLDR; biological mom didnt want to loose him. adoptive parents and dad are fucks. grandpa is kool. jerome had a good childhood until he didnt. thank u ignorance

TEEN YEARS age 10 to 20

-middle school very nice

-j FUCKING KKKKK EMO JEROME INBOUNDDDD

-kids are mean. teens are mean. young!jerome v lonely

-honestly he had no friends. except for like maybe this one kid on his sport called mattheo but he kinda a weeb so uhhhh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-the time comes that he feels uncomfortable with everything korean. he already learned korean along side french and english when he was growing up but now distances himself from further learning. he clings to french culture a lot and even to this day he refers to himself as french and european, and rarely refers to himself as korean or asian.

-feels disconnected from both though. its like.. his parents took his korean culture away from him by using it for their own amusement. it was not his to have basically. and french- a lot of people around him give the vibe he’s not “allowed” to call himself fully french. they see him as korean, korean-french but never just french. he feels very misunderstood. lack of identity and just not fitting in

-around this time (or earlier i’m musing still) his cousin Antonin (moms side) kind of fell out on him. like. wow. not good. fucked jerome up a lil. (issues intensify)

-inferiority complex inbound/ is he ok? no he isnt. he starts writing to get his emotions out.

-Blessed Freddy rolled in teen jerome’s life like: guess we need to do history homework together jerome: aren’t you gonna make a ‘do my homework bc you’re asian’ joke freddy: why would i jerome:

-they bond over music, freddy is the one who gets him serious about getting into it (we thank our lord freddy for this gift of life we call singer/songwriter jerome. pray to freddy 10 times a day *srry jisoos christ but ur out*)

-literally young jerome would be a great soundcloud artist in this day and age. he was like joji meets rei brown with more of an rnb tinge. he liked ambient because it calmed him.

-in his old bio thats still up bc im a slow writer his old name was some dumb shit like l.only DUMB its romeles now (get it.. jeROME LESlie gauthier. im smart)

-OK IM GONNA GO QUICKER NOW

-eMO FOR A LONG TIME BC OF LONELINESS AND OTHERING FREDDY IS HIS BEACON OF HOPE WE LOVE FREDDY IN THIS HOUSEHOLD!!!!!!!

-had a big ass fall out with his parents when he was around 15? was like “UHHH FUCK Y’ALL” and moved in with his grandpa (he was very disrespectful like damn boy but you know what. i support)

-best decision of his life because grandpa v lonely after his wife died and Jerome^2 is… so soft.

-Jerome dancing/singing to old tunes and being engrossed with old movies

-Learning how to cook ;3;

-I mean bc his middle and highschool were in Laval he spend a lot of his time w his grandpa already so he already had a bed and ;-; #jerome^2

-Halit rolls into his life. Braces, huge smile, lil prepubescent stash ohmygod. My child.

-BLANC is born. Freddy/Jerome/Halit’s musical trio. Stan the Three Musketeers

-Found his first best friend and a purpose in Freddy. Found a home in Halit. (sob)

-Finds solace in rnb and hiphop. People start noticing him because of it. Writes songs and performs them in café’s. Found his niche. 15 to 19 where his “best”  years

-THE BIG MOVE. After a concerned halit mom, a proud freddy mom and a “WHAT THE FUCK JEROME NO DONT GO” jerome mom they pack their bags and PARIS HERE WE COME

-Enter ex who haunts his life, Seo Yumi aka Marie (now model, v pretty, makes me cry)

-Spots her in the summer doing yoga in the park and boi he an assman so he got fucked up (jk he saw her face and was like wHAT love at first sight

-enrolls in film school, meets her there again and wow falls in love hard like wow calm down boy

-Dating~~~v possessive not good at ALL cALM DOWN JEROME

-ok he got his issues nd marie was the first one who openly listened to his problems and understood and made him appreciate his korean heritige bc she’s korean and showed him cultural aspects without the gross fetishizing that came with his parents and he just- he got intense ok. he already got a v intense personality so- still not good tho he needs to dial it down

-she thought so too and like after a year she was !!!! what the fuck. she is not one for serious relationships but jerome was like ehhh why not in the beginning its v nice to hear nd be seen as the most beautiful ok but then it got suffocating but instead of breaking up with him she kept him around. he a safe haven ya know. reliable. someone to built on later. *i wanna say she also didnt break up w him because his emo stories but marie,,, eh...* (funny tho like she got a thing for bad boys so she just “this is the fifth time you called me beautiful just degrade me lil like choke me idk” and jerome just “w-why would i do that you’re beautiful i dont want to hurt you” ah *looks into the future* ohhowthetableshaveturned.mp4 )

-Marie cheated on him the second she got the chance which was when jerome went to america w his bros

-Got offered a job as a songwriter when in ny. Wouldnt think he’d take it but after getting kicked out of school for beating the shit out of the guy marie cheated on him with and with marie out of the picture nothing held him back from starting a new life.

-TLDR; emo era. silver era. emo era 2 emo harder

ADULTHOOD age 20 to now

-Seoul make way for the rise of YUDDY™

-the name yuddy is from the film days of being wild. the character is kinda yuddy-ish too so he saw the film again and yep. thats my name

-Fuck_love.mp3

-Visits his orphanage. they like “nah boi u aint got no papers boi”

-Parents can give him access to his birthmother btw, aren’t doing it lol

-EMO

-Drinks. Sleeps around. Gets a reputation. You kno how it is. (gr8 ride tho. highly recommend. 5 out of 5 stars on yelp)

-SMASH ND DASH. Chanwook is that u??????

-One girl who he got with multiple times reminded him of Marie tho and that fucked him up for a bit (PSST ITS A PLOT WINK SO IF YA GIRL OF AGE IN THE 2013′S HMU BC ITS DRAMATIC HE GHOSTED THE SHIT OUT OF HER)

-Writes a lot of songs, a few for BC (knight baes). BC like *eye emoji* who dat boi who him iz

-Gets sign w BCreate and is like eyy life pretty good

-but lmao he debut and oh who’s that pretty girl promoting that lipstick?? oh.. its marie ;3;

-imfine.jpeg

-Joins main label and literally joins w a blessing stream limbo on spotify

-wgm era was a great era of jerome lmty his hair was great, shared cute personal things, manager was happy, slept with his best friend, was married to a sweet beautiful girl ya know the good stuff  👍 no im not crying you are

-triple fantasy era was awful we dont talk about that he looked like his brother and i’m still emotional about him wow. 

-instagram is a great song

-Interviewer: u mention an ex in ur song tell me more Jerome: *SWEATS*  

-Marie: my short hair DOES look pretty thank u babe ur red hair was cute too <3<3

-The fact she linked to him now is spook

-But ok he still flirty, still daring, still yuddy™ but definitely less of the whole “sleeping around” thing now bc he… he uhh closetoyou.mp3

TLDR; he turned into his dad but romeo is rising AND HE IS SCARED!!!!!

also never forget jerome is the messiest king in this ok non y’all are as messy as him. he fucked his ex’s friend oK THERE IS NOTHING MORE MESSY. dONT COME FOR HIS CROWN

17) Last Movie I Watched: The Mummy (2017) 

18) Last Show I Watched: I just watched Kevin Probably Saves the World. It has slowly become one of my new fave shows of all time.

It’s a good thing I watch The Voice cuz it came on after it & that made me wanna check it out XD!

24) Why I Choose My URL: It’s a combo of Mana (my fave YGO character) & Yuma Tsukumo’s catchphrase from ZEXAL - “Kattobingu”. Kattobingu means “to do your best & challenge yourself”. So I am Mana & I’m doing my best ^_^b

31) Nationality: Bolivian

32) Favorite Song: BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I may be a jrocker....BUT My favorite song of all time is “The Blue Danube  Waltz” by Johann Strauss II. I grew up listening to a lot of classical music & BESIDES recently Yuri On Ice (the song). No piece of classical music has come to being as perfect as that song in terms of taking me on an emotional rollercoaster. I love songs that can take me on a journey. But if I had to pick a MODERN song, I would say it’s a 3 way tie (all sung by Takanori Nishikawa) “Vestige” by T.M. Revolution, & “WE aRE” + “Howling” by Abingdon Boys School. Those songs always resonate with me.

33) Last Book Read: Tsubasa World Chronicle

34) Top Three Fictional Universes I’d Like To Join: I wish Heartland from ZEXAL was real cuz honestly I would LOVE to live there. Tokyo Mew Mew because I wanna be a magical girl that protects endangered species, Pokemon FOR SURE cuz who WOULDNT want that? A fourth choice would be Saint Seiya because I want that cool armor tbh.

behind the scenes tag thing

this is for @threejerseyboys

coffee: what’s your coffee order?

ooooh recently cold brew coffee is my shit. Cold brew coffee and heavy cream together is so tasty and pretentious I love it

cypher pt. 1: if you had to be part of a kpop group, what position would you want to be (i.e. leader, visual, lead vocal, dancer, rapper, maknae, etc.)

a maknae. Im the youngest of my family and I can’t do shit without other ppl taking care of me and doting on me so :) I can just be cute instead

boy in luv: when you are interested in someone (romantically, sexually, etc.), does your behavior change?

Sadly yes. I mean that’s what happens to everyone. If you think your behavior doesn’t change when you caught feelings, you’re lying t yourself hunny! I know because I’ve done the same, hunny! Not that it’s bad, but it’s also not always good either. 

just one day: who would you want to spend the last day of your life with?

My mom, since she was the one I spent my first day of my life with technically? May as well end things in full circle? Why am I sounding really casual

tomorrow: goal that you would like to achieve within the next year?

Don’t die, juggle a lot of responsibilities successfully without being a wreck, keep my emotions in check, get a goddamn research position in college, be chill

miss right: what is your ideal ‘type’?

I don’t really know right now tbh. But my heart always has a place for jk. So I guess as close to jk as possible. sweet. smol but strong. meme. weird as fuck. stupid but also smart n hardworking.

hip hop lover: three songs that are meaningful to you?

This varies every 5 minutes but for now, it’s...

Doves in the Wind by SZA. Whenever I catch myself in negative thoughts, I need to listen to this to remind myself of my self worth and whatnot.

First Love/late Spring by Mitski. I loooooove her so much i’m seeing her in october and her songwriting is so impeccable it hurts me and her voice is so ahh

Winter by Khalid. I’m seeing him tomorrow! And I’m going to cry if he does sing this!

24/7 = heaven: what are you most looking forward to?

Crying when Khalid sings! And meeting him! I’m gonna tell him about my depression! And it’s gonna be a moment!

move: last time you cried?

At my friends house and I was in a sad emotional state. I think she cried at one point too. Good times! Love hanging out with my friends!

butterfly: most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen?

Myself bitch. Jk too, especially when he performed in those weird hockey outfits and he had weird crimped hair that was flouncy

young forever: what is one movie from your childhood that you will always treasure?

To be honest? The shrek series. And this ain’t me being a meme. I genuinely loved it so much when I was a kid and I still thing it’s an excellent and funny and great and quality movie. Literally, name a better kid’s movie with kid’s humor that’s still clever and can appeal to anyone.

boys with fun: you’re going on a roadtrip with seven other people– dead, alive, fictional, real, famous, or not. who are they, and why?

I mean the obvious answer is bts. And I mean. It’s obvious for a reason. Since. It’s right. I don’t have the mental capacity to be creative and think of anything else. 

whalien 52: weirdest dream you’ve ever had?

Excluding all the sad terrible ones involving me or my friends and family dying, there was one dream where i went thru a bunch of alternate universes whilst being chased by a shadowy figure. A Wrinkle in Time style adventure, but with a less cool main character

house of cards: when was the last time you felt sexy?

0 seconds ago bitch I feel sexy rn

begin: who are you most grateful for in your life?

I’ll exclude my family since that’s too basic. I’ll say recently I’ve been really grateful for my roommate because she’s been like the main reason of my college experience turning out okay so far. Like, through her I was able to meet a lot of great people and she let me stay over her house during spring break, and she’s like simultaneously my older sister who keeps my messy ass in check and also a puppy that licks your face too much. 

lie: biggest fear?

Losing my friends. There’s a lot of things I’d rather suffer through than lose my friends. Especially the ones I’ve made in high school, because I’m so far away from them most of the year. 

reflection: if you could tell your past self one thing, what would it be?

If you think you’re ace and you don’t catch feelings and you’re above men, you wrong bitch. Unfortunate. 

cypher pt. 4: what do you do to treat yourself or relax?

Listen to music and read my old weeb drawings and diary entries and remember I’ve come so far since middle school

2!3!: your favorite thing about bangtan?

This can probably be applicable to any hardworking kpop group I guess but I really really admire their work ethic and the quality shit they put out every time. Like, their music is so well produced and written and performed and they’re just nonstop on the grind and even with all the success they’re getting, they don’t let it get to their heads with how chill their personalities still are. I love the emphasis on friendship and teamwork they push in their songs and concepts, and truly deserve all the success and hype they’re getting. They really started from humble beginnings and seeing how much they’ve grown and changed is really inspiring too. 

not today: what are your procrastinating right now?

I need to write a news brief about a lawsuit, I need to get a job/volunteer position, I need to clean my room, I need to clean my emotions...a lot

you never walk alone: how many people do you trust with your life?

Ten exactly. for now.
