Bran had lost track of everything that had happened; it all blurred together in jagged fragments. Time had stretched and snapped from moment to moment. A creature, the forest, pain up his neck and across his cheek (the ivy-shaped wound still raw and stinging, no time to patch it properly, no time to rest), chaos and shouting, and then… Maude… and Arthur. Gone, gone, gone. He tried not to dwell on it as much as possible. Breaking down would solve nothing. He needed to keep himself together, for Nettie’s sake.

Nettie. She hadn’t left his side since…

Don’t think about it.

Staying close to each other seemed to provide the most reassurance and safety. Bran focused all his energy on comforting Nettie as much as he could, on finding a way to protect her (because they were still hunting them, he sensed their approach). And in his desperation, an invocation ritual had surfaced from the murky depths of his memory. A wavering spark in the darkness. He clung to it now, as their last hope.

He explained the spell as well as he could to Nettie. She asked no questions, too worn-out from crying. She just huddled beside him where he knelt on the dusty floor and she gripped his arm so tightly that it ached, her damp face buried in his sweater sleeve.

Bran lit the candle. He recited the incantation slowly, taking great care not to miss a single word. The moment the last syllable left his lips and magic tingled over him, a burning pain seared through his core. Bran gasped and hunched over, clutching at his chest with his free hand. What… was that? Why…?

Didn’t matter. Not now. Cold swept through the already drafty room. A muffled whimper came from Nettie, though she didn’t raise her head from his arm. Bran blinked away the fuzzy darkness at the edges of his vision, took a deep breath, and looked up at the shadowy figure. Fear choked him before he found the breath to speak, his voice hoarse and shaky. “Please, I— I’m sorry. We need your help. I’ll do anything.”

@resonette wanted a lil something!

" i figured you'd understand, but... " chiyo trails off, gaze averted to the streets outside and brow furrowed as she watches people go about their day as normal. normal. nothing feels normal anymore -- maybe hasn't since her parents, and only now she isn't strong enough to remain in denial. even that invisible hand that always seemed to guide her feels absent, like it's abandoned her when any familiarity at all would have been a comfort.

but she isn't alone. it's easy to be swallowed up by grief and forget, but however terrible it is, seren is in the same exact boat as chiyo. they both lost people they cared about. they both were given information that only left them with more questions. maybe they'll get through this, then, together.

she meets seren's gaze, surprisingly misty-eyed when she goes to speak. she has to gather herself for a moment before that choked feeling goes away. " i was worried you'd try to stop me. you've always looked out for me. " she looks out for everyone; who looks out for her? chiyo wants to. her eyes fall to the small table between them. " i need answers, though, even if it's dangerous. "

          there are a lot of things he never asked for regarding his current position. he never asked to be at the centre of a generational curse for one, nor did he ever once express being desirous of infernal affection; he never hoped for prince paimon to interrupt his attempt on his life and drag him into the bowels of the earth, nor did he lust for the 'chance' to live amongst others suffering like he was. he most definitely had not fucking asked to be killed down here by a blast of holy light and then brought back as an underling for paimon to do with as he wished.

           what, he's supposed to be grateful? this is perhaps the worst afterlife ever.

           above all though ( yes, even above the dying thing ), was the demand for his sociability now. as if he'd ever been prone to hanging around lots of people and occupying spaces full of life. even before any of this, peter had been the kind of kid that stood in dark corners at parties. he'd been more of a background prop than a person, melting into wallpapers and street signs like he was a chameleon. now, as 'rook'? he isn't even afforded the privilege of hiding.

           rook glances down at his suit with a look of pinched distaste. if he's honest, paimon has a great eye when it comes to fashion. the colour's an alluring, regal shade of blue, a masterful amount of room left for his wings to poke through and spread wide unimpeded, and the golden accents make him look very distinguished— but he'll forgo being honest for the sake of spite.

           uncomfortably, he sidesteps a loud, vaguely canine-looking overlord, the stem of his glass clutched tightly. goetian parties are the absolute worst. he's naturally drawn to a corner with a tantalising curtain hung in front of it. if he can just...

           he's almost there when he feels himself walk into something. something incredibly tall and thin. after turning and feeling the plumage around his neck fluff up with an open sense of horror: "ze —for— please forgive my clumsiness...!"

༄ @magickedhat

parsley had two quests that evening. first: to steal as many cherries as possible from partygoers’ drinks and treats. she already had a whole champagne glass stuffed with them, so she reckoned she was doing rather well so far. second: to find something within the shop. she was having less success with this.

enough drinks had emboldened her to drift from the main crowd for once and venture down a secluded hallway in her search. she had opened all the drawers and cupboards and ornate little boxes in that hallway, humming merrily all the while, but to no avail.

eventually, she found herself sat atop a dresser, her glimmering shoes tapping lightly against the drawers and her fluffy dress spread across her lap. the cherry-filled glass rested beside her. her eyes narrowed as she stared at a birdcage across from her in the hall. a mechanical bird perched within it, motionless.

at the sound of footsteps, she turned her head and greeted the other with an immediate, “hullo! i don’t suppose you’ve got any gloves, have you?”

[hearthtales]

Feldmire was nothing if not fickle, prone to shifting both forms and moods on a whim. Samhain’s blunt reply succeeded in surprising the crow. It blinked once, twice, before its thoughts swung and bright glee leapt in its gaze. It cackled, a dry and rattling sound. “Oh? What happened to Sow’in from the attic? Sow’in who didn’t want to see what burning me would do to her? Lying then or lying now?”

Snap. A startled caw escaped the crow at the sharp sound of the book closing, and it nearly slipped from the bedpost. It flapped its wings to regain its balance and glared at Samhain, its amusement withering to annoyance in a heartbeat. Shed feathers drifted to the floor and crumbled to dust. The creature preened itself in silent resentment as Samhain gathered his belongings. It peeked between its feathers every so often to watch his items vanish one by one.

He knew what the creature wanted. He’d return once he had something to give. Feld brightened. It puffed out its chest and opened its beak to reply — only for an indignant squawk to escape as another bubble encased it. Slightly bigger, but still terrible. Feld tumbled sideways and flapped itself upright as Samhain placed the bubble on his desk.

The ghoul’s words reached the creature clearly. It gave him an even sharper glare, which blurred into smoke as its form melted and stretched back into a snake — a much smaller serpent than the one that had slid beneath the bed. It curled itself with its head facing away from Samhain, hissing one last time before frost covered the bubble. “I’m hungry.” An unspoken yet unmistakable warning lurked beneath the sullen reminder. Don’t take too long.

——————

Untouched by the chill that pervaded the second floor, warmth still filled the hearth room.

Nettie was telling Nightshade all about the cats who roamed around the inn. She mentioned them each by name, describing which ones she and Samhain had encountered. Her half-finished mug of hot chocolate rested beside her. Bran sat near them on the floor with his back leaned against a chair, content to listen in silence. Drowsiness had settled over him after the chaos of Samhain’s awakening (still kept secret from the talkative child). His hand stroked Gruff absently, who lay beside him. The dog looked wide awake and fascinated by Nettie and Nightshade’s storytelling.

Arthur had gone to fetch more firewood. Maude had retreated to the kitchen with the excuse of washing more dishes or tidying in some other manner.

At Nightshade’s sudden announcement, Nettie gave a little hum of disappointment, but happiness still bubbled in her chest, too brilliant to fade easily. “Okay!” she hummed. “See you soon!”

Bran, meanwhile, was still conscious enough to guess the most likely identity of the caller. Samhain. His fears resurfaced, and worry flickered in his gaze as he watched Nightshade leave. He didn’t know what had happened after he’d left Samhain’s room. When Maude had entered the hearth room, she had looked shaken but otherwise alright. Had Samhain confronted Feld? Why was he calling now?

Nettie turned to chat with him, and Bran regained his wits enough to nod along. He needed to be mature, to keep the child distracted in Nightshade’s absence. Nightshade would be okay, he told himself firmly, to quell the panic rising within him and stay composed. She and Samhain, they’d both be okay… right?

The tension coming off the creature was so thick, Samhain felt he'd need his scythe to land a cut. It was interesting to see its demeanor change at the drop of a hat, or had it been possibly triggered by some other variable? It reminded the ghoul of something Nightshade would say jokingly once in a while. "You're not you when you're hungry" and Bran said the creature was always hungry.

As Feldmire described Mr. Hemming's dreams and then - most importantly - compared it to Samhain's own, it was clear the creature had a distinct palette. He took note of the creature's preferences, word for word, with a better understanding of what it liked. What it desired. What it craved.

And now Samhain knew what cards he could play.

It was agitated; Samhain knew he was cutting it close. Teasing the creature was tricky territory and he didn't want to risk irreparable damage. At the same time, he couldn't show the creature that what it said could sway the ghoul so easily. "When you do, could you describe the strength of yer bite? It would help greatly when ah observe its effects on Ms. Haven after," he said with a grin, though his eyes were ice-cold.

Before the creature could decide to do anything, Samhain shut his book with a sharp snap. "All right, all right, ah'll stop teasing," he said, his items floating away with a wave of his hands. He got up from his seat and his cloak materialized out of thin air, draping from his shoulders. Lifting his cloak with one arm, his books and papers followed and fluttered about, disappearing into the dark of its fabric. His pen simply vanished from his hands. As if it had never been there.

"I know what you want, Feldmire. But before ah can give it, I'll have to make some preparations. I'll come back to you once ah have something to give." And just as soon as he had given the creature hope, Samhain snatched it away by encasing it in a bubble once again. It was so sudden, and it was easier to capture since it had been a sitting duck on the bed for a while.

The bubble was now as large as a medium's crystal ball. Seeing it was fitting, Samhain fashioned a holder for it so he could place it on his desk without fear of it rolling off and tumbling elsewhere. The bubble wasn't soundproof at first. Samhain made sure Feldmire could hear the next part before the bubble frosted over like before. "Until then, I'll need you to stay put again. Wouldn't want you go off an' blabbing our secrets prematurely now would we? Dun worry - ah've given you a lil' bit more room this time."

----------

Downstairs, Nightshade's compact mirror was humming a specific tune - which could only mean that it was Samhain calling. "Sorry! Imma have to take this~ BRB!"

[recitedemise]

Oh, gosh, yes, let's take him apart to his very last atom. In fact, let's savor all his secrets, plundering through his belly to chance a gander at his heart. Let's burrow for his memories and let's moon upon his aches, and let's render him a study less a puzzle more cadaver -- and poke and poke and watch him bleed. Oh, she boasts a mouth that's caustic. She bears a gaze like knives. And it'd be fun, wouldn't it?, so earnest as he is with those eyes so deep. Yes, Gale's harboring his secrets, his orb somehow sucking to draw her in, and not for the first time, his mouth nearly waters when he takes a peek at her. Something strong. Something ancient. For she is more than she seems.

It would love to have her, wouldn't it? Yes.

Gale, with effort, pointedly ignores that.

"And for the sake of your pride, I shall pretend your attempt at indifference was convincing." Gosh, they're similar, apparently. She can't rightly remember, but her body's memory — long, and considerably so — holds to her fondness for both rebellion and odds. Gale seems much the same, little buckling to the weight of her needling provocations, but then, perhaps his time in Blackstaff had taught his lean for mettle. Being an Arse 101. He was a damned prodigy in the making. "Mind you, not that I'm in any rush to lay myself bare before your whittling study," he continues, amiable if not witty, "but considering my understandable allure, I wager I haven't much a say." No. "If you aren't much for jaunts, then you're more for spelunking down considerable ravines. That said, I've ought to warn you of the vastness of this wizard before you. Much like a book, his mystery is hardly offered as much as it is wrested from his grasp. One could find themselves tumbling right on down his depths," his aches, "but I suppose I couldn't fashion a more tempting challenge if I tried."

Silly man. Though, there's a more frightening threat, isn't there? An adage of sorts, if she'd recall, something about peering into the shadowy dark. Should she stare too longly, then the void, all-seeing, would stare back in turn. And what will it discover? What in her will he find? Gale watches as she settles, the swarthy of her shadow strewn about the rockcliff in these woods about them. He stops his writing, scratching out a verse about dock-side promenades, and the way she intrigues and endlessly beguiles. (Fallen angel? Fallen chosen.) His orb throbs again. "Ha. I'm sure she'd appreciate the sentiment," dear Tara, "though I imagine she would say I've spent enough time being owned." How interesting. Gale's eyes go wistful, and leaning over, offers her a pillow for comfort. "Learn to stand on your own, she'd tell me. I've the feeling this-" their journey "-isn't what she had in mind."

"mh, please do." the retort comes, immediate and amused; it is a threat that some would have taken as an arrow to the chest, but the sorceress finds herself rather unshaken by the promise of it. at worst, she could simply walk away from the babbling mess of a wizard; she has done it before and would have no qualms about doing it again. at best, she would find it amusing to dissect his words; the pieces of his speech that are there because they must, the pieces he brought because he thought the audience would like them, and the pieces that are shy to emerge for they are only there because he is. he is a well-oiled machine she would like to take apart, cog by cog, in the hopes of getting to the heart of whatever machinery has brought him here; a bomb in his chest and him as the forelorn lover of a goddess.

"i shall pretend you did not just insult my wisdom", she offers most benevolently, like a dagger pressed to fragile skin and taken away just as quickly; the kiss of a threat, and its loud retrieval, "though i am disappointed, wizard, do i look like the kind of girl who seeks jaunts?" her smile is tantalizing; she knows little about her past life but something has travelled to the other side of amnesia-- her love of defying the odds. challenges are quite difficult for her to ignore, so sure of her ability to withstand any amount of pain or loss if presented with the promise of victory. here, standing above him like a fallen angel whose wings are naught but flickers of light and specks of shadow, she is just a smile; she meets his stare with one of her own. whatever spell he speaks into existence, she seems rather interested in seeing what will blossom from the incantation. "i prefer my entertainement to be a bit more… substantial. we shall see if you can make yourself interesting enough." there, gale of waterdeep, a challenge of your own: see how long you can keep her enraptured.

as for the mention of his tressym, she laughs; she does not know if she had animals prior to her becoming the home of a rather disgusting larva, but she finds herself to be rather taken by the idea of being a creature's companion. "from the looks of it, it is more likely i will fight tara for custody over you, not the other way around." which is to say: she chose you and owns you more than you do her. as for what can be implied with such a statement, well, it shall remain hidden in the smirk blossoming on her lips as she finds a spot to sit cross-legged, as graceful as ever when she lowers herself to ground. an invitation for him to tell her more about these… thrilling adventures he spoke of.

[hearthtales]

many curiosities the godling doe has happened upon in their travels (they, themself, make for one as well; not quite deity, not quite fae, but some bastard-between which marries two warring worlds). and for awhile, kaen had thought there might be very little that could catch them unawares. but this - the creature maude pointedly told them of which occupies the inn - is one which stands amongst their most strange encounters. it is, they think, an equine; but not quite, not... living, exactly. the creature inspiring in them a distant, fleeting sense of connection and familiarity. though the longer they look upon it, the more cloudy their mind becomes. damned they are, cursed to their curiosity; kaen has no sense of fear, only an awe as they gaze upon it with a wordless smile, blue eyes twinkling, stones 'pon cheeks gleaming with a rush of light. / kaen for feld, as promised!

nothing about the creature belongs in the hallway.

it is too large, too crooked, too wrong. it is dust and bone and wood, formed from smoke that swept down the walls and twisted into a bare semblance of a horse. no warning preceded its appearance aside from a whisper of air. a lamp on the table in the hall casts strange, flickering shadows on its form.

and yet, the guest doesn’t run. they stay. they smile.

feldmire’s interest latches onto them instantly. no one arrived at the inn without the creature noticing. maude could hide nothing from it, despite her best efforts at times. no secrets existed between them — at least, feldmire liked to think so. something about this newest guest sparked feldmire’s curiosity the moment it saw them. they had stayed in the inn less than a day before it showed itself on a whim.

now… now, they’ve caught its focus entirely.

its bony jaws split into a smile in return. twin rings of amber glimmer in its dark eye sockets. “little faun,” it greets. the honeyed syllables drip into the silence, rich and silken. it takes a step closer to them, head tilting to one side, and the floor creaks beneath its sharp hooves. “you are different, aren’t you? most would run away, or faint. are you not afraid?”

Katara and Aang have broken up again, and the Northern Water Tribe are pushing for a match between the North and South.

In the seat across from him, his setter looked up from where he’d been glaring at the menu. “I should inform you—I invited you to dinner in order to seduce you.” “Oh,” Kageyama said.

[bastardfae]

the grin that blossomed across arnon’s face was entirely genuine as the pun was noticed – it wasn’t a monumental victory (as far as victories go) but it was enough to add a notable degree of joy to his morning. it really was the little things that made all the difference. “of course,” he replies with a chuckle of his own, miming a bow of respect to seth from behind the counter. “only another man of taste and culture would pick up on comedy that remarkable. ten points to you.”

it wasn’t uncommon for seth to bestow the honour and privilege of his company upon the store and if arnon was honest with himself, such visits were among the few perks of the job. there was something of a kinship between the two of them – mutual respect if nothing else. around him, arnon found himself at ease for once. scanning his gaze over the witch carefully, as if to commit every tiny detail to memory, arnon bit back a chuckle at the sight of the joint and rummaged beneath the counter for a moment, producing an ashtray from amongst the collection of various boxes and packaging. “in here,” he gestures halfheartedly towards it before relaxing back into his seat, one finger idly toying with the volume on the radio. “i’ve got a top secret dumping ground for the evidence – big boss won’t find or know a thing. hopefully.”

despite his best efforts, a short burst of laughter erupts from the younger of the two. the situation was surreal, he’d admit to that. the exact details were still a little hazy and arnon was positive some details must have been omitted. “suicide by sunlight? kind of a lazy way to go. unremarkable, even. if you were that old… would you be content with passing on like that? i mean, really?” pausing for a second, arnon cocked his head to the side in thought before continuing. “however, if it is murder… well, that certainly makes things a lot more interesting, right? if that’s the case, whoever decided to chuck the old leech into the light with no protection has my favour. kudos to them.” arnon smirked as his words settled, keeping his gaze fixed upon seth. “what about you, harper? any inklings pulling at that big brain of yours?”

The last thing Seth expected to hear today was the death of a councilman outside of Krovs. Whatever he'd planned entering Summer Secrets immediately took the back seat as he listened to the news with a joint between his lips, completely entranced by it. How was he supposed to react to that? Saddened? Worried? Angry? Frankly Seth felt nothing at all since it didn't affect him personally and it wasn't happening here in Krovs. That made it not his problem. He glanced over at Arnon then and snorted, greeting him now with a crooked smirk. "Pun intended there?" he asked. They had mentioned the councilman burned to death under sunlight. He took one last drag of his cigarette before snuffing it out even though he had a feeling Arnon wouldn't mind. He bet that Emerson wouldn't dare allow it and find out somehow. "You think a councilman that old would just decide to off himself or you think it might be a whole murder conspiracy, Ceanai?" Seth asked as he approached the counter now.

I can be kinda loud and hyper, I'm usually very in your space if I know you well (and ur comfortable obviously) I also love doing things for others! Id like to say I'm a pretty skilled cook and baker, I also love card games and board games (oh and video games y'know) I always have music running in my headphones, I'm super clingy to the people I hold dear and I absolutely love showering my friends in love and appreciation; I can also be quite the hassle, I'm not all smiles and kisses which I'm trying to work on; I struggle with empathy and love, I can be very brutal and rude and sometimes borderline cruel but I try and reserve that for people that do me wrong!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You got…Rosie!

Already, you've got the cutest height difference and aesthetic match in the world. You come to just about her shoulders and that's not counting her hat! Fortunately, since you wear heels you can inch a little closer to her—unless she's also wearing them. 

Rosie loves fashion, so you two go shopping together a lot. She's always offering her clothes to you, but when they wind up too big (as always), she will tailor them herself to suit you or bring them to a proper tailor to fix them up. You don't wear exactly the same style, but Rosie will incorporate more of your elements into her wardrobe so people know you're together. 

Oh my, and you can dance? No matter the kind, the moment you tell Rosie that she is already talking about the pep she used to carry in her step, and she wants to go out dancing with you a lot more. Rosie is an amazing dance partner because she is very good at following your lead or showing you how to do what she has going on. 

She also LOVES your kitty Morty. Oh yeah, shes going to spoil that cat to death because, isn't it just the cutest furball ever? Rosie is the type to get bit by a cat and coo about how strong a bite it has. 

Now, she isn't one for video games, but she is more than happy to learn all about the various types you play! Be it board, video, or card! Rosie is actually really bad at these games and often reveals her hand or her plan, but she still loves trying it out with you. The one game she could beat you in 99.9% of the time is chess.

One thing that really surprises her is your ability to get along with Susan. Knowing you have a habit of being cruel to those who deserve it, she expected you to hate the woman! Instead, you bonded over your hatred for a lot of things, and Susan insists on you always being the one to help her in the emporium. 

Expect a lot of listening to oldies music while she shows you her old dance moves, working in the emporium with her, and the cannibals being extremely protective of you when it comes to other demons.

Author’s Note - I'm sorry I know its OBVIOUS but when I was going it Rosie got 7/8 and Alastor was the closest with 3/8!!! I just think she really is your match made in heaven 🖤

Hajime no Ippo: What if

(What if Ippo did defeat Date?)

(This is a long one)

-Now for those who have read the manga, this fight is actually the most one sided match Ippo ever faced in the manga (outside of his spar with Ricardo)

-So for Ippo to win this match, one of two things need to happen. Ippo evolves or Date is weaker than he was. And considering Date’s motivation and how the manga goes to such lengths to explain how Date is actually better than he was BEFORE retirement. Let’s say Ippo evolves.

-Everything going into the 5th round is the same. Ippo is losing and Date is setting up for the heartbreak shot.

-Coach Kamogawa is ready to throw in the towel.

-Ippo is going in for his hook, and like in canon, Date goes for his heart break shot.

-But Ippo stepped more into his hook throwing off the trajectory, and his punch lands true. A punch with everything Ippo had hits Date right on his scar.

-We see a flashback, Date fighting Ricardo. Date comments that the punches feel nostalgic. Only to come back and realize he’s on the floor. He had been downed!

-the crowd is roaring. Ippo has downed the mighty Date.

-Date tried getting up. But felt the damage in his legs. That kid had done more damage than he expected. His scar was opened. He knows his nose is broken.

-Date manages to get up right at the 5 count. He is wobbly, but he’s determined.

-That punch however did something to Ippo. He saw his goal so close. His conciousness that had been fading in and out was now aware. He is fighting Date! And he Can win!

-Oddly Ippo started seeing flashes of his father. And it was there the question of “what does it mean to be strong?” comes into his head. Ippo needed to become as strong as his father. That was his resolution in this moment.

-The round continues, And Ippo charges in. He’s pressuring the champion.

-Date tries to push back, but it’s different. The Ippo he was fighting was NOT the same as before. He had ascended!

-Ippo landed a series of body shots. Date was barely able to stand.

-round 5 ends. Date realizes that at this moment. Ippo was becoming a monster. One that could reach Ricardo. Something that is HIS goal.

-Coach sees how Ippo has changed in this fight, and he tells the Kid to keep nailing his body. Date was guarding his face after that down. He needed to create the opening.

-Takamura was stunned at seeing Ippo’s sudden growth. Takamura commented that Ippo is becoming Like him.

-The 6th round begins, Date takes the offensive, putting pressure on Ippo, but Ippo keeps hitting back harder.

-All the pressure that Date had exerted to break Ippo has done the opposite, Ippo has become a diamond.

-Date is downed a Second time in the match by a powerful gazelle punch.

-Date gets up at the 6 count. He could swear that Ippo’s punches felt even stronger than before.

-Date rushes in to end it. But Ippo fires off an Eye feint (something he never knew he could do) causing Date to step back, leading to something unexpected.

-Ippo performs the Dempsey roll.

-Ippo figured this move out later on, but because of his fight with Date, Ippo pulled out something even he never knew he had.

-It was a bit sloppy, had this been done 3 rounds earlier. Date could have easily countered and ended the match, but Date had taken too much damage and Ippo landed the Dempsey roll. The crowd was absolutely stunned.

-Date fell again.

-Ippo felt all his muscles cry out. He was exerting himself far beyond what he was prepared for. If Date got up, Ippo knew it was over for him. He could barely move.

-Date struggled to get up. Remembering his goal, remembering his dreams… but he felt it… it was over.

-Date struggled to try and stand… but he fell to the ground unconscious.

-The Arena was Absolutely Stunned! Ippo had did it! He defeated the most powerful champion! He had bested Date!

-Round 6, 2:33 seconds. Victory by KO

-Ippo heard the crowd cheer. He was stunned as his second ran on to the ring to lift him up. The Gym now had 2 champions!

-Ippo was stunned as the belt was put on him. He looked over to date. Who was being helped up.

-Ippo thought he would see anger on Date’s face. But the old man sighed. He was bested. He shook the champion’s hand. Telling him congratulations.

-Date could see it, the boy that beat him. Ippo could beat Ricardo. Not now, but one day. But his journey, his was over.

-immediately after both boxers drop in the ring. Both needing stretchers.

-Ippo was going to need time to rest up

-In the stands, Sendo was burning with passion! His rival had just become champion! And had become strong enough to beat Date! Their next match would be legendary! But next to him was Volg, who was also admiring Ippo. Both the wolf and the tiger clash. Both beasts wanted to fight the champ.

-Meanwhile Miyata was watching in secret. Ippo had grown again, the gap was Massive.

-The reporters were having a field day with it. Eiji Date, the man that once fought the world champ. One that was a world ranked boxer was bested. It was a story that would shake the world. Makunochi Ippo had really done something staggering

-Ippo took some time to recover.

-Ippo, 11 matches, 11 wins, 11 KOs.

-After recovering enough, Ippo was interviewed. Hearing that Date had retired. He felt saddened by the news. But he said that he would never forget his match with Date.

-Coach shoo’d them away after that. As they were asking what was next.

-Ippo actually wasn’t sure of what his next goal should be. Date was his goal and he succeeded. It was hard to believe. What was left for him?

-Coach congratulated the kid again. He told him that he saw the kid pull off some amazing things in the ring. But that the Dempsey roll was sloppy.

-Ippo was confused until Coach explained it. Ippo realized his next goal. To perfect his new technique.

-Kamogawa told him after his match he probably won’t have any challenges for a while, which is good. Since He needs to recover AND he needs to refine his techniques!

-Ippo agreed. But what about after? Should he stop while he’s ahead.

-Coach told him to rest and recover for two months. And to live a little. Something that was shocking to Ippo. Though Coach did say not to think he’s hot s*** because he got lucky against Date. Which made Ippo smile.

-his nurse at the hospital was Kumi. Who was taking care of him. So Ippo was well taken care of.

-Aoki and Kimura managed to convince Takamura not to mess with him this time as… it was an old joke.

-But more shocking was the visit from Ippo’s former classmates and principal who congratulated him. They signed a card and got him flowers.

-Aikawa even visited to congratulate him. She even asked for him to go to the movies with her after he recovered (though this was private). Before he could answer Kumi arrived, saying visiting hours were over.

-Kumi realizes immediately she had competition.

-Aikawa commented she will ask later. Before leaving. Ippo was happy his classmates came to visit.

-Kumi subtly asked who the cute girl was. To which Ippo answered a former classmate. But then comments he is happy that the class saw his match.

-Kumi sighed with relief. But then commented that she promised to throw him a party after he won. She will make the preparations. Ippo was happy to hear it.

-Kumi asked for a list of people to invite. Which Ippo happily gave. Kumi was relieved when all of them were guy friends.

-after being discharged Ippo still needed to recover. Thankfully no lasting Damage, and during the time. The party occurred.

-Surprisingly some of Ippo’s class did come, invited by unezawa. (Including Aikawa much to Kumi’s dismay)

-Surprising guests such as Miyata, Sendo, and Vorg. Mashiba even showed up (cause Kumi dragged him to it.)

-Ippo’s mother got to see how many people Ippo had befriended and was happy for her son.

-Date himself even swung by, congratulating Ippo. Date had said he made his peace after fighting him. Knowing if he couldn’t beat Ippo he had no shot at fighting Ricardo. But Ippo does have a shot. Date had become a trainer like in canon, promising Ippo that if he does want to take on the world, he can reach out for advice. Also, the baton pass.

-Ippo never really thought about the world. But maybe that should be his next big goal. If Date was able to reach that high, maybe he could too maybe even.

-Sendo of course wants to issue a letter of challenge to Ippo immediately. To which he clashes with Volg.

-Miyata intervenes and says that they both fought and failed. The person who should fight Ippo next is him.

-The comment of which gets Ippo fired up.

-Kumi makes an internal comment of if she should be more worried about Aikawa or Miyata stealing Ippo)

-Takamura feeling jealous that a girl did host HIM a party for when he became champ.

-After the party died down. Ippo thanked everyone. He was pumped. The world of boxing was vast.

-Ippo spent 3 months recovering like in canon.

-Though interestingly, Ippo’s first title defense was against Keija Okita. (The one who was under date, the previous Rookie king)

-but much like his match with Ponchai. It was an easy with with his new more refined weapon. The Dempsey roll.

-Ippo also got challenged by Saeki and Shigeta. Who were good fights but like against Sendo, lost. Shigeta thought he had Ippo with the southpaw, but unlike the spar, Ippo was fresh and was able to adapt.

-Ippo’s level after his fight with Date was too high. But now a real challenger appeared. Kazuki Sanada. The former champion of the weight class below. The first challenger in his canon.

- and with his trainer and the tapes of Ippo. He was able to keep up but Ippo put him down a round early.

-Ippo was 15 matches, 15 wins, 15 KO’s. He was becoming a beast.

(Cut to earlier while Ippo was recovering)

-At this point Sendo and Volg were dying for a rematch. As they were both the number 1 and number 2 contenders. (This happened before Ippo’s first title match)

-Now the match with Sendo and Volg is almost the exact same in canon, but it had two less rounds. But Sendo won because of points.

-so like in canon Volg lost. And Sendo wanted a rematch. Volg left.

-Sendo decided not to challenge Ippo immediately. He needed to show everyone he was worthy of his win.

Since I know you have Opinions™ on this: ☕️ for Bridgerton Netflix?

Ooooh, now you're asking.

In general, I enjoy it as some light entertainment - it's a fun, frothy soap opera with lots of pretty people and dresses. I appreciate that they're more interested in the Regency Aesthetic than historical accuracy, so a lot of things that would annoy me in a more serious period drama I can just ignore to enjoy Bridgerton for what it is.

I'm not particularly bothered in principle by their decision to stay from the book plots, because as much as I like the books there is a lot about them that has not aged well in the 20+ years since they were published and just would not work in a modern TV show.

In reality, however, I think they've made some pretty terrible decisions in how they've strayed from the books and chosen to adapt things that has been more about adding drama for drama's sake rather than because the conflicts they're inventing actually serve the storytelling. Personally, I think most of the added conflict has actually made several of the characters less likeable.

The issues with Daphne and Simon have been gone over at length since S1 came out but Whistledown, for example - they wanted her to have more teeth and be a bigger threat than she is in the books, where she's really only a framing device, but the long term effect is to make Penelope much less sympathetic and even dislikeable as she's seen to betray those around her.

The Marina storyline was an absolute catastrophe from start to finish that does nothing for anyone involved. Colin looks like a fool, Penelope looks catty and vindictive, Marina's cruel if understandable and getting viewers invested in her a character is going to have terrible repercussions when it comes time to adapt To Sir Phillip with Love (assuming they intend to stick with the book endgames, although I don't really see the point of even introducing Sir Phillip if that's not the plan).

Anthony was already thrown under the bus in S1 by making him the reason why Daphne is getting any suitors instead of it being about Daphne being determined to hold out for a love match like her parents, and the storyline they chose to go with for S2 caused me to end up really disliking both Anthony and Kate, despite the fact that Anthony was my favourite Bridgerton in the books. And they dragged the drama out so long that instead of resolving the conflicts properly they had to shorehorn in some quick resolutions that weren’t earned so they could wrap everything up in a bow by the end.

I could list a whole lot more but that would be so long so let me to saying that what’s particularly frustrating is that I feel so many of these issues could be solved so easily. I could write a much longer post on how I would rewrite both seasons but just for example:

have Simon getting too caught up in the moment to remember to pull out and then freaking out about it, leaving Daphne confused and feeling betrayed

keep Daphne at the same age she is in the books, and feeling the pressure of new debs coming on the scene

if you really want Marina as a foil to Daphne, keep her as a Bridgerton cousin that Violet’s trying to help, with Penelope suspicious about her secret and then discovering it but ultimately choosing not to out her in Whistledown because that’s not what she wants to be

also don’t have her throw Eloise under the bus and destroy the only significant female friendship on the show

don’t go all the way to an Anthony/Edwina wedding! Have Edwina find out about Kate and Anthony in episode 3/4 at Aubrey Hall, and then spend the rest of the season actually building up the relationship between Anthony and Kate without the issue of Edwina between them so you can allow for softer, lighter moments between them that actually show them liking each other as people without the underlying feeling of it being emotional cheating, as well as actually giving time for Edwina and Kate’s relationship to be repaired and their reconciliation to feel earned

I’d also have Edwina knowing about the dowry situation and being torn between duty to her family and and needing to figure out what she really wants for herself rather than being humiliated in front of everyone in society

(also don’t give Eloise’s trauma over Edmund’s death to Anthony but let him keep his own)

(also also give Mary and Violet more to do, and have Violet’s breakdown be explicity pre Hyacinth’s birth with the ‘Hyacinth smiled and it saved me’ scene included so the fandom doesn’t come out of S2 vilifying her and calling her and Mary bad mothers)

Essentially I feel that in a lot of ways they flattened out the characters and defined them by one or two exaggerated traits (Eloise is the Feminist, Benedict is the Bohemian, Francesca is . . . not there) that leads to manufactured rather than organic conflict, which is a shame because for all their faults there’s a lot of rich characterisation in the books that could translate really well to the screen.

But at the same time it’s still my comfort crappy period soap opera and I will watch however many series Netflix want to give us.

Hello! I'm looking for someone (20+) to do an Anakin-centric whump obikin rp. Literacy and things related to writing: I can match your length, and I understand the length and stuff will change according to the plot, so no pressure! As long as I have something to work with, it's cool :) I can do multiple posts a day. Sometimes, life gets in way, so its absolutely cool to skip, bc life and health matters more <3 I'm looking for someone who loves writing heavy dead dove themes. I'd love to write as Obi-Wan (since his backstory is more planned than Anakin's atm, and I wanna explore his conflict with his past), but that can be changed based on mutual interest. Platform: Discord/google docs Fandom: Star Wars Prequels (can also include characters from other eras, totes fine) mostly TCW/ROTS era Ship: Obi-Wan x Anakn (obikin/obiani) Premise: I'll send the detailed plot, not posting here bc its nsfw, but the gist is Senator!Obi-Wan/Jedi Knight!Anakin, with nsfw dead dove attributes. They're much closer in age, though Obi-Wan is still older than Anakin. If smut happens, then I'd prefer if they switch (with maybe more top!Anakin). It's mostly whump (both of them), and hurt/comfort, and I'd love to plot ideas for story arcs, character backgrounds, arcs, and more. Happy endings only, and no Jedi bashing :) Interact with this post ONLY if you're interested, and I'll reach back :) Lastly, it's for fun, for all of us lol, so please be clear with anything you'd like to see, or with any plot ideas you have! Thanks!

Planning a wedding is really highlighting to me how much of accepted feminine performance is totally alien to me (as no doubt it is to a lot of brides). The pressure to wear heels is wild. My mum is acting like I have committed a crime cos I plan on the bridesmaids wearing matching sneakers. (I told her if she can find nice feminine weddingy shoes, in the right colours, for sizes 5 , 8, 10 and 13 then I'll consider them and somehow she never got back to me). I will wear makeup at my wedding but in life I wear it maybe twice a year and use an absolute maximum of 5 items, usually 2 or 3. I have no sense of looks or moods, searching for photos hasn't helped, and I have no idea where to begin with choosing a makeup artist and don't really know how to compare them. Likewise choosing a hair stylist - I have a better sense of what to ask for but I get my hair cut at a place near my mum that makes your hair the length you specify for £15 so again, no clear starting point for finding people. I am even struggling to know where to buy jewellery?

This is really hard lol.

[literaturewithliz]

1. Hello I was wondering if I could get a romantic matchup for Harry Potter (preferably marauders era as I’m 20 or aged up characters), cobra kai, and the outsiders.

2. I’m bisexual with she/her pronouns so any gender is fine!

3. Appearance:

As for looks, I’m 5’1, average to smaller build, tanned olive type skin, dark brown eyes, full lips, dark brown shoulder length wavy/kinda curly hair with curtain bangs. I also wear glasses with a slight cat eye to them.

4. Personality:

For personality I’m creative, introverted, and individualistic. Though I’m introverted, around my friends I can be quite talkative, humorous and outgoing. However I definitely treasure my alone time the most.

5. Hobbies/Interests:

As for hobbies escaping to new worlds while reading books/comics, watching movies, and playing rpg video games. My favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, though I do love a good classic from time to time. Apart from that, I love working out.

My interests on the other hand are art focused. I’m currently in art school working with both digital and traditional mediums. I love my practice and everything from interaction design and digital illustration to graphite drawings and inking.

6. Likes/dislikes:

Likes: coffee, chai tea, dark chocolate, rock/blues/jazz/ music, cafe art shows, arcades, comic book stores, purple, thai/Indian/Chinese food, roller blading to classic rock with the wind in my hair, quality alone time

Dislikes: people i am unfamiliar with and have to make small talk with, the biting cold, rain, non fiction, staying too close to reality and not being allowed to daydream/imagine/roam freely in my thoughts, physical touch, overly crowded areas

Thank you!

Thanks so much for the request!

Harry Potter

I match you with Nymphadora Tonks!

I think she loves how outgoing you can be when you get to know someone! But she completely understands if you don’t wanna go anywhere for a date and would rather just cuddle on her couch. I think y’all would have cute and quiet mornings where she makes you tea/coffee. Your an artist? She’s fascinated, I tell you. She wants to see all of your work. She doesn’t wanna pressure you into showing anything you don’t want to show, but she can’t help her excitement!

Cobra Kai

I match you with Robby Keene! (I couldn’t find anyone who’s close to your age that isn’t around 40, so if we could pretend your 16-17 in this scenario, that would be great thanks! So sorry!)

I think he totally understands the way you think about valuing your alone time! I think he’s so similar to you in that way. He’s such a respectful boyfriend, and let’s you know that you never have to feel like your bothering him by wanting alone time. I think he would love to work out with you! Y’all would have jogs in the park or he would teach you different moves in the dojo a lot. You say you don’t like physical touch, and I think Robby wouldn’t mind that one bit. I kinda think he feels the same way.

The Outsiders

I match you with Darry Curtis!

I think Darry loves how individualistic you are, and really appreciates that your so independent, as he can’t always be around 24/7. I think that you can help him relax, though, with how open and funny you are around those that you love. I think he would absolutely adore jazz music just like you! Y’all go to café’s with art shows and jazz music playing on the rare occasion he has the time and money. I don’t think fantasy/sci-fi is really his cup of tea, as he’s such a realist, but I think y’all balance each other out in that way.

I hope you liked your results!

[theaterism]

beyond the glass of the door, the lights within the theater’s lobby illuminated shades of deep blue and mahogany and silver. popcorn machines glittered. performance posters adorned the walls.

the lobby was empty aside from a figure stationed behind the snack counter, her chin propped against her hand and her eyelids heavy. dozing off.

the knock reached charlie through a drowsy fog, and she blinked once, twice, clearing the sleepiness from her eyes to see the figure at the entrance. ah, so she hadn’t dreamed their arrival. surely she’d dreamed the flicker that had vanished from their palm, though. she pushed herself up and approached the door.

“it’s unlocked,” charlie hummed, pushing the door open to invite them inside. cold evening air slipped inside as well, uninvited. “but the show’s already begun.” sympathy tinged her tone. they were ten minutes late. hence the quiet vacancy of the lobby, though faint sounds drifted through the closed doors that led into the auditorium. voices. music.

charlie tilted her head, gaze lingering on the other’s curious belongings. “have you, um… got a ticket?”

@theaterism / plotted starter !

perhaps it's the peaceful calm that seems to roll over the town like fog over grassy hilltops that draws you there, or perhaps it's something else / a sensation unidentifiable to most, but sharp, like the crisp air on a cold spring morning, to keen senses.

it's a tingle on skin / the prick of pointed ears ; THERE IS MAGIC HERE.

with only a fiddle on your back, a satchel over your shoulder, && a small dancing light in your palm, you make your way through the cobblestone streets && over a bridge, && down, down, down a winding path. the pull of magic is strong here, growing stronger.

&& then you find it, the source. if you'd been looking, really looking, you might not have noticed it at all, but sure as the rapidly vanishing daylight, it's there.

a building — a theatre.

you close your hand around the light, extinguishing it, && raise the same fist to knock on the door.
