My 8x06 Thoughts

This won't be a summary, because I just have a lot of feelings of this episode. Even now I'm still kinda laughing.

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!

I want to start with Eddie, because I had been so excited for his storyline this episode.

The confession with Eddie and Father Brian (we finally got his name) was still so heartbreaking to watch, even though the sneak peek we had gotten yesterday had showed us most of that scene. Eddie saying "That's it?" when Father Brian gave the amount of Hail Marys and such that he had to do... Oh that hurt. Him basically running out of the confessional booth because he doesn't think he deserves forgiveness also hurt.

I do think it's funny that Father Brian and Eddie managed to bump into each other at the juice bar and that Father Brian was like "I'm going to ignore the fact that confession is supposed to be anonymous and confidential."

But anyways, Father Brian's correct assumptions that Eddie's mustache is a disguise and that Eddie is still punishing him were good. I really like his speech about how God has forgiven Eddie. And I love that he still let Eddie set his pace, to deal with his own feelings of needing to be punished while also telling Eddie that he can't punish himself forever. Eddie eventually has to forgive himself and let himself be happy.

And while we didn't see Eddie doing what he had been told by Father Brian to do to atone for his sins, we did see the aftermath. We saw Eddie shave off the mustache (though I do think it's weird that he did it with no shaving cream) and then we see Eddie in just a shirt (same color shirt as the shirt he wore to the bachelor party in the previous season) and his underwear.

The song of choice that they used during the scene where he's just having a dance fest was so funny, but I don't think I could tell you why it's funny because it's something that you just have to know why it's funny. Anyways, I loved seeing Eddie so care-free after he spent so long punishing himself was honestly so good, I was vining with it.

Now, onto the Madney of it all.

Maddie saying "Maybe we should give Jee a sister or brother" during dinner and being so casual about it, was lowkey funny. Of course Chimney had his reservations, because of Maddie's postpartum depression after she had Jee. They both had good arguments and I'm glad Chimney realized that it shouldn't stop them from trying again.

And turns out, Maddie is already pregnant!! I'm so excited for them!

Maddie really hit the nail on the head when she said that they shouldn't go into this pregnancy thinking Maddie is just a bomb waiting to go off of. Because that can have negative effects on the environment they're raising the baby in and it's just not good for anyone, least of all Maddie.

I saved Buck's storyline for the last because God, the reason for his spiraling made me cackle.

His and Tommy's six month anniversary dinner being ruined (in only Buck's eyes) by Tommy saying that he almost married Abby was funny only because I couldn't believe everyone who said that not only Tommy would have a past with marriage (or an almost marriage) but also that the writers would have Tommy by Abby's Tommy. I just had to laugh at that, couldn't help it.

Buck's conversation with Josh and Maddie was nice. I did like how Josh said there was obviously a difference between Tommy's experience as a gay man and Buck's experience as a bisexual man, since they realized their sexual awakenings at different times when the acceptance of LGBT+ people was different.

I did disagree a little bit about Josh saying that you can't judge Tommy for what he did in the past while still hiding himself, but whatever.

(Side note: I loved the reappearance of the running joke of Buck not knowing pop culture in the form of Buck having never seen Glee.)

The loft scene where Buck reveals to Tommy that he was the "Himbo" who dated Abby after Tommy broke up with her was a whirlwind.

Like they went from Tommy learning that they shared exes, to Buck telling him to move in. Which I also had to laugh at, because it reminded me of the original BT. Like Buck just was going to rush into moving in with Tommy.

And then Tommy is breaking up with Buck in the most vague way where Tommy goes to leave and Buck has to ask if they just broke up. That's so wild to me, it was the vague breakup.

The last thing that happened, right after Eddie's little dance, was Buck going to Eddie (after the breakup) and the episode ends with them sitting on the couch and drinking. Like I just love that the first person Buck thought of to go for comfort was Eddie and the way Eddie not only didn't bother to put on pants, but he also didn't need Buck to tell him what happened.

Overall, I liked the episode. It was a better episode than I was expecting, because I had gone with lowered expectations. I can't wait to see what happens next for the firefam.

Your boys make sure you're feed

Ghost, Soap, and Konig x reader imagines

TW: mentions of brief struggle with food/loss of appetite

Summary: They get concerned when they return home to you, only to see you hardly eating. They notice your downtrodden attitude and at least try to make you feel better by feeding you.

Ghost:

He noticed immediately. Your first meal together since he came home from his deployment. But he didn't say anything. Brushing it off as you had likely eaten earlier. You were quite bad about a proper eating schedule when he wasn't around, so he didn't doubt it.

But when he saw you not eating again he gently said something.

You had made him breakfast, but not any for yourself, only a cup of tea for your own "breakfast".

"You gonna eat some luv?" His gruff voice was soft as he wrapped his arms around you, watching as you piled the food onto one plate.

"I'm not very hungry. Something about the weather, I think. Messing with me." I replied, trying to brush off his worried gaze that was burning into the back of your head. That's when he gently spun you around to meet your eyes. And you couldn't help but soften your resolve as you looked into his blue eyes.

"Put some of that on your plate. I want to see you eat." You smiled at his words, knowing he wanted to take care of you. So you stepped aside and let him grab a second plate and divide the food between them evenly. When he was finished, he brought them to your shared dining room table, leaving you to follow behind with both of your tea.

When you finally took a bite, you couldn't help but smile at him gratefully, breaking you out of your rut and helping to take care of you.

Soap:

You planned a coming home party for him with his family. Everyone was there. There was food and drink. But you didn't touch a lot. Mostly due to your peculiar tastes. But Soap still noticed.

He didn't say anything, but he kept an eye on you and kept checking on you. Making sure you were by his side. After all, he was most excited to see you when he came home.

Everything quieted down, people beginning to leave the celebration, including the two of you back to your shared flat.

Soap let you unwind before he did anything. While you got ready for bed, Soap secretly made you your favorite.

Coming out to the lovely smell, you were confused at why he was cooking.

"Babe, you didn't need to cook." You said, saddling up next to him as he finished putting it together for you, and rubbing a hand on his back. You couldn't lie, it made your mouth water, and your stomach rumble.

"I didn't see you eat all night." He paused a second. "I know well there was food there you liked. We can talk later if you'd like, but eat this now. For me?" His voice was so gentle and full of caring, that you couldn't refuse him. You took the plate from him, giving him a weak, teary-eyed smile.

You leaned up to kiss his lips. "Thank you, my love."

Konig:

You planned a big meal for when he got back. Luckily the kitchen in your little cabin was just large enough that you had room for every part of the meal. Even luckier, the timing was perfect that when he got home, the food was done and everything was cleaned up.

"Just in time! Welcome back, my love!" You threw yourself into his arms, to which he happily caught you, showering your face in kisses before he pulled you back into his arms completely.

"I've missed you so much maus." He happily admitted, never afraid to show his softer side with you. "Now what is that wonderful smell?" He put you down, and you both began to divy up dinner.

But while Konig grabbed his portion, you did not. And it did not go unnoticed by your friendly giant.

"Why are you not getting some?" His voice was full of confusion, as you often both shared and enjoyed this particular meal together.

You tried to give some excuse, blaming your loss of appetite on being too excited to see him again. But he had none of it. In a gentle, yet stern voice, Konig told you to grab yourself some.

"Nein. Eat, my love. I will not see you go hungry. At least try for me? Hm?" You couldn't help at the look in his eyes. He cared about you so much, and it was so obvious in everything he did.

You conceded, grabbing some yourself. Konig's smile as you took a bite didn't go unnoticed either. And for the first time in what seemed like forever, you both shared a meal together.

(Sorry it was so short and kinda shit. I've just been having trouble remembering to eat lately and thought I'd attempt to write them giving some comfort. It's been a while since I've written, but I wanted to get something out there, shit or not lol. I still hope y'all enjoy! Also! If I can tag this better, then let me know! Because I know this can be a sensitive topic, I just don't know how to tag it.)

It's A Man's World

Chapter 3 (My House)

(Gif credit to Pinterest)

We did it! I can hardly believe it—we won! The excitement in the air is palpable as we look at the final score flashing on the scoreboard: 7-3.

Inside the boys’ locker room, a wave of energy washes over us, and cheers erupt from every corner. The scent of sweat and freshly laundered jerseys mingles with the smell of beer as we come together to celebrate. Laughter and shouts echo off the walls, creating a symphony of joy and triumph.

As the impromptu celebration kicks into high gear, teammates are gleefully pouring beer over one another's heads, turning the locker room into a chaotic yet joyful beer bath. The sight of everyone—grinning, soaking wet, and filled with a sense of accomplishment—truly captures the spirit of our hard work paying off.

In that moment, it doesn’t matter who played the best or who made mistakes. What matters is that we put in the effort as a team, battled through challenges, and shared in this unforgettable victory together. These moments of unity and joy are what make this journey worthwhile.

After a beer bath celebration and a nice shower, I'm finally lying in the comfort of my hotel when my phone rings I look down to see who it is.

Facetime call from Ja’Marr 🧡

I swipe accept on the call and his face pops up on the screen.“Yo! Congrats sis” he says. I smile back into the camera “Thank you very much. But just know when I see you I'm going to hurt you” I say playfully

Ja’marr and I have been friends since LSU, even though he graduated a class before me. I was on the softball team and he was on the football team, our paths often crossed in the sports center on campus. But became good friends when he and the football team decided to surprise us after we had won the state championship game.

“Yeah, yeah, well, see? What are you doing?” he asks. I shake my head. “Nothing, just relaxing.”

He looks at me as if I’m crazy. “Relaxing? How come you’re not out celebrating?” I shrug my shoulders. “The guys are, but Mia has to work in the morning, and I just didn’t feel like it.” He knows I’ve never been a party person.

“Get dressed! I’m coming to get you. Dress comfortably.” I do a double-take at the screen. “Huh?” I exclaim. “Send me your location. We are going to celebrate tonight whether you like it or not. You’re in my house now.” I roll my eyes, knowing there’s no point in arguing with him. Plus, he’s right: his house, his rules. “Alright, I’ll be ready soon.”

About an hour later, I found myself standing at the front door of Ja’marr’s house, my heart racing with anticipation as I waited for him to unlock it. The air was thick with excitement, and I couldn't help but tease him. “Boy, you don't know the keys to your own house?” I called out, a playful smile on my lips. He responded with a dramatic smacking of his teeth and a roll of his eyes. “Girl, shut up,” he retorted, clearly unbothered by my banter.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Ja’marr opened the door and stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter.

As soon as I crossed the threshold, the lights suddenly flicked on, and a chorus of voices erupted with a gleeful “Surprise!” I was taken aback, my eyes widening in shock. My mouth dropped open as I jumped back, unable to contain my astonishment. “What the heck!” I screamed in disbelief. Spinning around, I shot a mock glare at Ja’marr and playfully backhanded him in the middle of his chest. “Really!”

He laughed, raising his hands to protect his chest, pretending to be wounded. “Sorry, I had to get you back somehow,” he said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. I turned my attention back to the sea of familiar faces in the room, and my jaw dropped when I realized that half of the Bengals Football team was crammed into his house, mingling and laughing, including Mia, who had sworn to me that she had to work. Ha! “Work,” my mind scoffed.

“Hi, everyone,” I called out, injecting energy into the room as I waved to the crowd.

In response, a collective “Hi!” resonated back, accompanied by enthusiastic waves from the players. My gaze shifted to Mia, who was trying to suppress her laughter. “Girl, you knew about this!” I accused playfully, narrowing my eyes at her. She nodded, still chuckling, and managed to reply, “Sorry, sis.”

I shook my head in disbelief, pushing my tongue into my cheek in mock annoyance. “Okay, y’all play entirely too much,” I said, glancing back and forth between Ja’marr and Mia. But one person caught my eye, standing near the steps while everyone else began to mingle. He had his hands casually tucked into his pockets, an easy smile playing on his lips, and I felt my heart skip a beat.

“Thought you could leave without a party, huh?” he asked, amusement dancing in his eyes.

“Yeah,” I replied, pinching my fingers together to indicate how close I had come to escaping. “This close, Joe. This close.” He chuckled softly at my exaggerated gesture.

“Hey, Riley,” he said, making his way over to me with his signature swagger, and wrapped me in a warm side hug. “Hey, Burrow,” I responded, his name rolling off my tongue as smoothly as water flowing over stones.

“Damn, how much muscle have you put on since last year?” I asked, stepping back to look at him as we broke the hug. His smile broadened as he shrugged nonchalantly. “A few pounds, not much. But I should be asking you the same question!” he remarked, eyeing me with genuine curiosity.

Feeling a slight blush creeping onto my cheeks, I tilted my head down, suddenly self-conscious. “I couldn't stand looking like a popsicle stick anymore,” I admitted, trying to hide my embarrassment.

He smiled again, a warm and sincere expression. “Hey, either way, you look great,” he complimented softly. I felt butterflies start to flutter in my stomach as I returned his smile, the moment feeling charged with unspoken tension.

Girl.

Uh uh.

Snap. Out. Of. It.

“Thank you.” I managed out

“Come on, future superstar, for once a party is not about me,” he says, leading me to the living room where everyone else is.

Even though I really hate Ja’marr for putting me in a room full of people I don't know, after a while I started to warm up to them. I might not remember half their name at the end of this but hey. At least this is better than watching another episode of Love and Hip Hop in my hotel room by myself.

I was in the middle of a group conversation when I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. Excusing myself from the group I make my way to the patio and pull my phone out.

Jake Thompson. The contact name read.

Suddenly my heart rate started to pick up. This could be my go-home call. Oh god, I hope Mom still has my bed in my room.

My thumb shaking over the green button I swipe accept and put the phone to my ear “Hello” I say with a hesitation

“Hey Sierra it's Jake hope I didn't call you too late,” he says from the other end.

“No, you're fine! Everything OK?” If I could smack myself I would ask that out of all the questions.

“Oh no problems here. I just got out of the meeting with the big heads in the front office, and they were quite impressed with your performance, Riley,” He told me. Something in my gut is telling me there's a but coming.

“So impressed that they have informed me that they would like me to tell you that you are officially eligible to be drafted in the 2021 MLB Draft”

Bitch..did he say what I think he just said.

I feel like I'm going to pass out.

I feel my eyes burning as I try to hold back my tears “Oh my god” I manage to sit on one of the patio chairs “Congrats Sierra” Jake says and I can tell he is smiling on the other end of the phone “No thank you Jake for everything…” I managed to say through my choked-back sob.

“No thank you for all your hard work and your skip for pushing us to call you for the combine” Jake responds “Believed in you from day one kid. Know you're going to do great things. See you in a couple of days a the Daft Sierra" Jake says

“See you soon. Thanks for the call” I say through my silent tears

“No problem kid” I pulled the phone away from my ear and hung up.

I don't move, not a muscle. Still trying to process the information told to me. I'm going to be in the MLB Draft.

What. The. Fuck.

The sliding glass door opens with a soft whoosh, and the sudden movement jolts me from my mental fog. I can hear Mia’s voice behind me, filled with hope. “Please tell me it’s good news.”

Taking a deep, steadying breath, I close my eyes for a moment, allowing myself to gather my thoughts. “Looks like I’m staying for a couple more days,” I finally announce, my voice barely above a whisper. As I open my eyes, I focus on Mia’s face, watching as her expression shifts from anticipation to disbelief; her mouth drops open in shock. At that moment, I can no longer hold back my emotions, and tears begin to stream down my cheeks.

Without hesitation, Mia moves closer, sitting beside me and wrapping her arms around me in a warm embrace. At that moment, words feel unnecessary; the sheer support in her presence speaks volumes. “I’m so proud of you,” she finally says, her voice soothing and sincere. Hearing those words sends me over the edge, and I let out a sob, clinging to her even tighter as the weight of the moment crashes over me.

I’m acutely aware that I might look a bit unhinged, crying in front of a group of people I just met, but in this whirlwind of emotions, I really don’t care. This is my moment, a culmination of dreams and hard work, and I’m reveling in it.

Once my sobs begin to quiet and a sense of peace washes over me, I muster the courage to ask, “Please tell me this is a dream, Mia.”

She shakes her head gently, a soft smile gracing her lips. “No, this is the dream that you have, and it’s about to become a reality,” she replies, tenderly wiping away my tears with her thumbs.

Just then, I hear Joe’s voice cut through the moment as he steps out onto the patio alongside Ja’marr. “Please tell me those are happy tears,” he says, an encouraging grin spreading across his face.

I nod vigorously, managing to give them a weak smile while still sniffling. “Nothing but happy tears,” I assure them, my heart swelling with joy. “I’m going to the Draft!”

In an instant, Ja’marr brings the excitement to a fever pitch. “Hey, Sam! Open up the champagne!” he yells back into the house, his voice echoing with enthusiasm, causing a ripple of energy to surge through everyone present. The celebration was about to begin, and I couldn’t wait to embrace every moment of it.

More thoughts!

Illario is extremely sus.

THE CAMEOS!!!!! IN MINRATHOUS!!!!!

I always knew from the lore that the First Warden was a little bitch, but actually meeting him is a next level experience. What a fucking asshole.

Taash is such a fun character. They're so delightfully blunt, but also sweet in their own way. The gamer bros are so mad about Taash and those whiny little pieces of detritus can go fuck themselves.

Every now and again, there's a wild Matt Mercer, and I'm delighted. He Has The Range.

I'm genuinely enjoying the puzzles, which is a wild concept for a BioWare game. Finally, some good fucking level design.

They keep dropping deep lore bombshells that have put years of me going full Pepe Silvia over this world to shame, and I'm so excited about it.

Ghilan'nain is a straight up nasty bitch in every sense of the term, which I already kinda knew from Tevinter Nights, but fighting her makes me think Rook should invent bleach just to deal with her mess.

Emmrich's personal arc villain has energy somewhere between Yzma and Doc Ock, and I am very entertained.

Emmrich may not wear black, but he's the gothest motherfucker in this entire series and I couldn't be happier.

Everyone is so concerned about Lucanis' pantry living and it's very sweet but also hilarious.

I love watching Lucanis develop friendships with everyone else. That's right; open your heart, sad bird man.

Love how Taash is immediately Lucanis' #1 fan for assassin reasons and he's so confused by it.

Unlocking the pieces of Solas' backstory is so fun because you get worldview-altering lore drops and then the Veilguard has a family meeting every time to discuss the new info and read Solas for filth.

Absolutely worth reading any codex entries related to the Lighthouse or companions, because you get fun insight into the daily domestic living of the Veilguard in the Lighthouse on top of whatever lines you already get about it when they're talking to each other at home. They really are like a household.

I enjoyed the Descent DLC of Inquisition, so Harding's personal arc is an absolute joy.

All the gamer bros complaining that the game isn't dark, mature fantasy like the rest of the series are honestly probably just mad at the lack of Desire demons, because there is absolutely no shortage of dark shit in this game, y'all. I mean, for fuck's sake, the major factions in the story include 1) a struggling abolitionist resistance movement that routinely tangles with people engaging in horrifying ritual murder, 2) a guild of assassins who have way too much political power but have also been forced to become a resistance group because their country has no army, 3) the supposedly apolitical army of people who poison themselves to fight evil until they inevitably die horrible deaths, and 4) straight up necromancers. And that's just the factions! That's not even getting into the plot!

Neve and Lucanis continue to have stellar chemistry.

Bellara needs so many hugs and it frustrates me that I can't provide them.

Experienced a very funny glitch during Harding's second personal quest in Act 2 where something seemed off about my Rook and then I realized that her left boob was missing. Her left boob was Sir Not Appearing in This Film. Straight up had decided not to participate in this conversation. I lost my shit. I may share a screenshot of it at some point.

Taash admitting in an argument with Emmrich that they don't like him because they think necromancy is freaky allowed me the opportunity to be like "Do you think that about me? 🥺" as a Mourn Watcher, which I'm so glad of, because a lot of the companions are uncomfortable with Emmrich's necromancy and I have been dying to get the chance to call them out for not considering how that would make Rook feel.

Emmrich made a move on my Rook last night and *fans self* hoo lord. Lucanis better show up with some extremely strong game very soon, otherwise he will have thoroughly lost to Thedas' very own Hammer Horror Man.

(Davrin fell out of the running pretty quick, since his personality ended up not fitting well as a romance for my Rook. Ironically, when they first announced the companions, I was almost certain I would end up being a Davrin girlie. Alas, he is not the type I'd thought he'd be. He also failed to show up in a waistcoat, unlike the other two, and we all know how weak I am for a good waistcoat.)

I love that Act 2 is just like The Gang Goes To Therapy. Sometimes this involves killing things. Or people. But not always!

Some fun DATV things I'm experiencing:

Playing as female Rook makes the first few quests until you get Lucanis very Girls Night, which I really started to notice after a friend pointed it out and she is so right.

Neve is bestie.

Lucanis' intro cinematic made me feel so attacked. That shit was so my brand lol.

Lucanis and Neve's banter is hilarious and if I don't romance Lucanis I may end up shipping him with Neve.

Did Bellara's first personal quest and almost cried. Hit me a little close to home.

Neve's hangout quest was delightful. I want to chat and snack and walk around with her all day.

Neve and Bellara's developing friendship is so fun. I want to see a scene where Lucanis gets involved in their cooking adventures.

Shopping and getting coffee with Lucanis was like Oh No He's Thoughtful And Charming And I'm Weak.

Chose Lucanis over Neve in that one decision that made me want to scream and now she's hardened and I'm so sorry bestie I was thinking of the defenseless people and I will never be okay again.

Varric playing mentor to Rook got me right where it hurts. He's there for when you need an adultier adult to tell you that you're doing okay and that he's proud if you. I cry forever.

Assan and Manfred are my SONS and I LOVE THEM and I make the most ridiculous noises when they are on screen. THEY ARE SUCH GOOD BOYS.

The quest to acquire Emmrich is fucking delightful if you're a nice Mourn Watcher and you bring Bellara along. Just three huge nerds enjoying each other's company while doing dangerous shit.

Davrin and Emmrich's banter is like two dad's comparing notes.

As a Watcher, Myrna kinda feels like my mentor-mom, which is funny.

More thoughts to come. Just wanted to scribble down a few things so far for the people to let y'all know I'm having a fucking blast.

Hi. I've calmed down a bit, and I think it's better if I just take a break from Tumblr for a while. Right now, I don't feel the fandom to be the same chill and safe space as I felt it to be, so I'd rather take some time until I can feel comfortable again with posting. All my side blogs will be on hiatus too. I'm terribly sorry for any discomfort this may cause.

A deep, wholehearted thank you to anyone who reached out in the last hours in replies, asks and dms to share their support and love. Seriously, you can't imagine how much it meant to me, how meaningful every single message I got was to me. Yesterday I was really believing my blog didn't bring anything but negativity and hatred to the community; thank you for reaching out to tell me I was able to share a little happiness, too. Words cannot express how indebted I am to you; you made me feel again like the posting I made on my blog was worth it, for you alone.

I don't think I'll deactivate for the time being. The temptation is still very strong, but I've poured so much time and dedication and love on this blog, I don't think it'd be fair to delete it. I hope in the future there'll still be people who my posts can make happy.

Lastly, I want to apologize once again to the people for whom my posts evoked so many negative sentiments. I know it's impossible to avoid, but I'm still sorry that happened. I apologize to you.

Please, be kind to each other. Make some ss/kk posts on my behalf while I'm away :)

Let Me Speak: A Character Study

(A story of life, love, and hope; of sorrow, struggle, and rebuilding after loss. A story of everything a life can be, and all the ways it matters. A character study of Melinda May, and the parts of her story they didn’t tell.)

. . .

PART ONE

At the age of six years old, Melinda Qiaolian May knew two things:

One—regardless of the cheerful ribbing from her father about children and the things they would understand when they were older, she would not, at any point in her life, enjoy coffee. (This assertion stood the test of time, as it turned out, a fact Melinda maintained with righteous dignity throughout her life).

Two—she was not afraid of heights. 

There were other things she knew, of course, and things she was very much afraid of. But — there are priorities. As she grew older, Melinda liked to keep a count of all the things that didn’t scare her, and practiced leaning into the way those certainties weighed steady on her spine when shadows stretched strangely in the night.

“When I did open that portal,” Mikey went on, cutting him off. “Do you know what I was thinking?” He heard Raph’s mouth click audibly shut and waited. When no guesses were forthcoming, he took a shaky breath and hid his face in his brother’s shoulder. “I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t let the Krang out, but I had to help Leo, so…” And oh great, now he was crying too. Mikey sniffed, and forced himself to continue. “All I could think about was wanting you to come and make it better.”

The family sets out to find the ingredients for the elixir meant to help Leo, but is this really the plan? Mikey drags the truth from Draxum and gets more than he bargained for.

(This chapter is a long boy, good lord. The previous ones have all finished around the 12-14 page count, but this chapter's coming in pretty at a full 21. As a reward for all this exposition, Mikey is allowed one (1) f-bomb. As a treat.)

Also me: *-gets inspired by pictures or random thoughts and creates four new AUs in the span of a month for people to enjoy-*

Me: "......where did all these plot bunnies come from?!" 😱

...so yeah, I mentioned before that I have ideas for several new AUs, but they just keep coming 😂

Now, I'm still working on the plot for at least two or three of them, but there is one that I've got a pretty solid idea on where I want to go with it and how to tackle it...I'm just working on the opening similar to how I did with the Monster AU to introduce Yuu/Reader/MC into the AU world!

So until then, I shall leave you with a hint as to what the AU is actually going to be about~ >v> Let's just say...

Something big is coming...
