#(even if that’s through working with animals or spending some of her free time hanging out with animals)

[realredbanana]

Totally random question but, when it comes to the main 5 Young Royals characters, if they had pets, what type of pets do you think would they have?

[erinfern0]

simon "ghost" riley as a father

dad!simon spent endless hours building the tiny furniture and painting the nursery walls. Of course, all the equipment was picked by you, as he didn't really have a taste for those things. If he were to choose, the room would end up looking like shit.

dad!simon who smiled the whole time as you folded the new clothes and blankets, stealing some of them to feel the fuzzy material, so calming to his growing anxiety.

dad!simon dreamed of this day for so long, but couldn't help the knot in his stomach at the idea of actually being a father. The fear of turning out to be the same as his old man was disgusting, but never left his mind.

dad!simon who discussed every thought and decision with his therapist, making sure he was really prepared. Coming back after every session, he'd sit down with you and discuss everything, being so happy to feel your touch and reassuring words.

dad!simon who thinks it's a true miracle that he lived so long to carry his little kid home. Holding their tiny body in his arms, the love of his life beside him as he stepped into the house.

and now:

girldad!simon who is completely smitten with his little girl, those huge eyes staring at him as if he was some sort of angel.

girldad!simon spends his free time studying how to style her hair, different ponytails and braids, all depending on his princess's wishes

girldad!simon who lets her color in all of his tattoos, watching her trembly hands holding the newest set of body markers.

girldad!simon who teaches her how to defend herself from a very young age, starting with simple lessons on assertiveness and boundaries, through various self-defend practices.

girldad!simon who spoils her rotten, he just can't deny that pouty little face whenever he tells her no. He has his limits, but most of the time she gets all the dresses, toys, and ribbons she gets.

girldad!simon gets a tattoo of her favorite stuffed animal somewhere on his body.

girldad!simon who encourages her passions, especially when it comes to sports because that's one of the few he has any expertise on. He spends a lot of time getting to know others, so he always has topics to talk about.

girldad!simon who feels pity towards any possible love interest that might even think of hurting his little girl.

girldad!simon is often seen walking around the park, holding her hand at all times. All his scary mysteriousness disappears the moment she talks to him, Simon just turns into the sweetest parent in seconds.

girldad!simon always kneels down in front of her so she feels taller.

girldad!simon will watch any show or movie she wants, doesn't matter how 'girly' it is. Secretly enjoys Barbie movies.

girldad!simon watching her grow up and getting into make-up makes him feel very happy, but nostalgic. Reminding himself that not so long ago she was running around and playing with little bugs.

girldad!simon who always drives her around, a personal taxi driver whenever she wants to hang out with her friends.

and:

boydad!simon who focuses on making sure his boy doesn't pick the same field of work as him, no matter how much his boy idolizes him.

boydad!simon who spends most of his time with his son outside, running, playing soccer, or building him some DIY shelters around the house with branches, leaves, and stones. (my ass can't get this out of my head, such a stereotypical polish childhood)

boydad!simon who adores his boy's interest in the military, but like I said, always reminds him to pick something else. This doesn't stop him from spending hours talking about little details and stories.

boydad!simon spoils him by buying him little cars, wooden models, and sports equipment.

boydad!simon makes sure not to push his boy too much into the toxic masculinity he had to grow up with. His son can be as expressive and sensitive as he wants, there's no one to stop him.

boydad!simon who becomes his son's best friend and savior whenever he has nightmares.

boydad!simon tries to be on-trend with electronic devices, spending lots of time to learn how to play his son's favorite video games whenever the little one is asleep, so he can help him if he struggles with a mission/achievement.

boydad!simon who has to make sure his son is a responsible person, giving him adequate punishments so he doesn't think there are no consequences to his actions.

boydad!simon studies dinosaurs just because his son finds them oh so cool. After reading some articles, he finds himself fascinated with them too, sharing all the facts and sources for them.

overall:

dad!simon would do anything to keep his child safe. He'd let the world burn if it meant his little one was the happiest kid on the planet.

dad!simon gets anxious if his kids don't answer him immediately, so he made sure their phones have their locations turned on all the time.

dad!simon doesn't argue with you around the kids, any serious discussion is only between the two of you, so in case emotions take over they never witness it.

dad!simon thinks it's crucial to show up, so he rushes from his deployment to make it to his child's school play or graduation, just to be able to support them.

dad!simon encourages his kids to go and see a psychologist, even if they don't struggle with much. He understands that there are just things important to talk about, but the kid might not want to open up in front of their parents about everything.

dad!simon turned out to be the father his old man could never be. In his kids' eyes, he's a true hero and the best dad they could have.

[lovelyyandereaddictionpoint]

I love your blog so much!! You're without a doubt my favorite writer on this app, you write yanderes so so well and you just manage to capture so amazingly the personality of EVERY character you write, especially Byakuya, i love him so much, and you just write him so well, i've been reading and rereading your works nonstop!

Could i please request yandere Byakuya with a Reader who's very kind and gentle and they like to follow him around (not in an annoying way, but in an attempt to try to befriend him and make sure he is okay during the killing game, since he is kinda excluded for being an ass). Better yet, how would he react to Reader actually leaving him alone after he went too far, or was too mean to them

Love everything you post so much, feel free to deny, remember to eat and drink water!

Thank you so so much! I'm happy i could make you happy! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Sweet ‘n Sour | Yandere Byakuya Togami

It’s honestly an honor

That you’re transmigrated into an anime/game

Too bad it’s the killing game of Danganronpa

And of course, with you thrown in the middle things are really unpredictable

So you’ll comfort yourself in being as kind to these characters as you possibly can

Especially Byakuya

A fan favorite and an intriguing ally throughout the game

Of course, you just gravitate toward him

Even though he sneers and insults you

Sometimes threatens

But you don’t mind…

…

Even though….

Those comments are beginning to hurt 

It’s one thing to love a meaner character through the screen but in person, it’s pretty hard

despite your inclination to maintain your usual smile and gentle actions

After a while, you just stop trying 

Too bad some may consider that your biggest mistake:

“Honestly I was hoping you’d turn up as one of the corpses during this farce; it probably would have made it even more interesting.”

That was it.

That was the last straw for you. Toko could have all his time and attention for all you care. The sheer fact you’ve put up with this for so long disgusts you. To hear your own life be spat on by the guy you’d been trying to extend a helping hand to–it was despicable. (Of him or of you, you couldn’t decide.)

“Ah, I see. Have a good night then.”

That was the last time you went out of your way to speak to him; immediately changing your schedule to accompany someone else. Since you’d been away with Byakuya you almost forgot how kind the rest of the group was. 

“(Y/n) I’m so happy you’re willing to hang out now! Let’s make donuts together!”

“After that I hope you’ll indulge me and Naegi in a puzzle of sorts.”

“I-if it’s alright with you..”

It was refreshing. 

To be told you were actually wanted around was somehow so fulfilling.

What terrible company you’ve been keeping.

“I’d love to!” Within a matter of days you are feeling the warmth of friendly interactions; whereas the man you’re avoiding is having a….less than stellar reaction.

Crash! 

Toko was excited that her Byakuya-sama had finally chased you. A rival weak enough to be effected by words wasn’t much of a rival at all! But upon your absence in only a few hours into his daily routine Byakuya had made an intense realization. 

That he desperately desired your attention on him.

He didn’t have to actually see you skirting your routine with him to know he hated the thought of you spending any amount of time with his classmates rivals. It literally made his skin itch and his throat close up with every minute away from you. Naturally he doesn’t care that even Toko is unnerved by the tantrum he throws. Books are strewn about, the shelves dangerously leaning against one another. All of it just an emphasis of the palpable malice emanating off of Byakuya. In the middle of the ruins he just stands still. 

Alarmingly still.

Like a predator looking out. 

Are they hunting? Scoping? Contemplating the ways to torture their enemies?

No one really knows.

Even when he pulls at his hair and belts out in an uncouth laughing fit. In an instant he stops demanding Monokuma show himself this instant. He needed to find you. Now. He’ll make it a point to inform the headmaster of his own teaching. 

Because apparently you–being the kind and gentle soul you are should be able to withstand all kinds of people. Especially him. Always him. So he’ll offer his own guidance by keeping you within arms reach at all times. 

He expects you to persist against anything he can throw at you.

How else are you going to rule the world as a Togami?

New Year's themed ask: What would our beloved classes be doing to celebrate the new year? (I mainly care about DRDT and P:EG, but feel free include mainline games and/or the Another Duology if you want!)

Happy New Year's! (again lol) Let's celebrate the start of 2025 with our favorite killing game blorbos! In particular, I'll be taking the casts of the four fangans I've been most invested in lately; Despair Time, Eden's Garden, One Shot, and Tetro Pink! (Sorry mainline, Another duology and Heartless Deceit, it's been a while since I've thought about those :() This will include both wholesomeness and sadness as appropriate, so get ready for anything!

Minor spoilers for all the fangans mentioned in their respective sections.

By the way, I apologize in advance if a lot of them are just "spends it with family/friends", sometimes I can't think of anything actually interesting to say :v

Danganronpa: Despair Time

Ace: Spends the day with his family, and pretends not to be as scared of firework noises as he is.

Arei: Spends the entire day with her friends (or "friends" while she was in high school, depending on who you ask).

Arturo: Doesn't celebrate, but does keep track of what various celebrities do for the holiday.

Charles: Just a get-together with family. He goes to bed as soon after 12:00 AM as possible.

David: Posts something motivational on social media, sometimes does a themed TEDTalk. Then proceeds to spend the entire rest of his day in bed.

Eden: Celebrates her birthday (31st December!) late into the day with all her friends and family, only to switch to celebrating New Year's the moment 12:00 AM arrives. Basically one long birthday party :D

Hu: Depends on the year. Sometimes she enjoys just chilling with her family, sometimes she accompanies her friends to parties to make sure no one gets hurt. Designated driver when said friends drink alcohol, as she likes to feel reliable.

J: Celebrates with Ryan... mostly the fact that Mariabella is Somewhere Else for the day. Also goes out with friends sometimes.

Levi: Doesn't celebrate, and usually doesn't even notice the new year's coming up until he's woken up by fireworks the day of.

Min: She treats it like any other day, though maybe with an extra family visit. Every year, it takes convincing to get her to stay awake until 12:00.

Nico: Spends it at animal shelters, helping any animals who might get scared of fireworks.

Rose: Spends it with her family, and sleeps through most of it. Takes a lot effort from her siblings for her to stay awake at 12:00 AM to see the change in year.

Teruko: Used to celebrate with her brother, but doesn't bother to celebrate at all too much anymore. She mainly just spends the day trying to get as far away from any fireworks as possible (far too dangerous for her luck).

Veronika: Christmas and new year's themed horror marathon! She occasionally manages to drag someone into it with her, but it's not necessary for her.

Xander: Volunteer work with friends during the 31st, and a visit to his family's graves at some point during the 1st.

Whit: Spends the day with friends, but always cooks dinner at home, usually eating alone since his father's usually overseas. He always makes sure to save some food for his mom, though :)

MonoTV: Treats itself to some of its favorite movies of the year. By which I mean it eats the CDs of said movies.

Mai: Hangs out with both friends and family in a way that makes everyone happy. Or, well, she used to, anyways.

Project: Eden's Garden

Cassidy: New Year's charity stream marathon that always starts a few days before and lasts for a few days after the turn of the year. She streams even through the clock hitting 12:00 in her timezone.

Damon: He prefers to ignore the holiday, but his family gets together so he can't exactly manage it. Still studies for a large part of the day though.

Desmond: Takes it a bit easier on the training for the day, but otherwise doesn't alter his routine too much.

Diana: Hangs out with her friends for a good chunk of the day, and particularly enjoys doing their makeup for any party later in the night.

Eloise: Spends the day with her sisters and mother.

Eva: Doesn't celebrate, and probably spends it studying one subject or another.

Grace: Doesn't celebrate, but enjoys watching the fireworks.

Ingrid: Spends the day with her family.

Jean: Usually out at sea, so he celebrates with his crew, drinking and playing around all night.

Jett: Parties hard with his friends all through the night.

Kai: Other than posting a bunch on social media, he doesn't really go out much, and prefers to spend the day with family.

Mark: Doesn't celebrate, but he does post some kind of celebratory post as Mayhem on social media.

Toshiko: Sends postcards to all her family and likes watching firework displays.

Ulysses: Doesn't celebrate, but his museum offers discounts on New Year's, so there's that.

Wenona: Only celebrates in whatever way benefits her business, as long as it doesn't involve making a public appearance. This usually means she doesn't do jack shit.

Wolfgang: Doesn't celebrate, but he's willing to be designated driver if some of his friends want to party.

Tozu: Practices his evil laugh for hours.

Mara: Puts up with Tozu practicing his evil laugh for hours.

Cara: Uh... she's dead chat I don't think she can celebrate.

Sorry a lot of them are just "they don't do anything" but that's the vibes I get from these people T_T

Danganronpa: One Shot

Aidan: Celebrates Old Year's (read as: doesn't do anything special).

Antonia: Watches the fireworks in Vegas with her sister.

Cass: Doesn't really celebrate unless someone close to them celebrates.

Davis: Spends it with his family at home.

Ellis: Party all night long! There's only a 50/50 chance she actually remembers the hour turning to 12:00 after getting blackout drunk.

Grace: Doesn't celebrate, as they consider it a waste of time.

Harper: Does volunteer work around ver community, but ve's always with ver family when the year turns.

Jeff: Doesn't really do anything, but depending where they are, he might stay up to watch some fireworks.

Kennedy: Looks at several large scale New Year's celebrations, looking for secret symbols in firework displays. So far, she's made the connection between the color red, cacti, and the government of Namibia. He's looking into what that could possibly mean, believing to have connected the dots (author's note: she hasn't connected shit).

Mark: [INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE]

Noah: Gigantic party with his frat. He ends up being the only one without a hangover because of his immunity to it.

Paris: Other than some kind of celebratory post on social media, she goes to the biggest party she can to collect all the gossip she can manage.

Robert: Does exactly what the majority of his demographic does, which generally just involves a family get-together.

Taylor: Stays home with their family, and usually goes to bed soon after 12:00.

Vanessa: She spends it with either her family or her friends, and generally has a blast.

Vivi: Generally takes the night shift at her hospital, since she doesn't care as much about the New Year's as her colleagues.

Monoquin: Indulges in his secret pastime: cosplaying Hope's Peak students. He is a mannequin running a killing game implied to be obsessed with Hope's Peak, after all.

Tetro Danganronpa Pink

I'm gonna list this ones by last name instead of first name because that's how I refer to them in my head and you're gonna deal with it >:v

Chiba: Spends it with her family. Or in the hospital.

Hama: Finalizes rituals to expunge all demons from the year as it comes to its end. This involves an obnoxious amount of salt.

Harada: Spends the day in animal shelters, taking care of any animals disturbed by the fireworks.

Hasegawa: Spends a quiet evening with his mother and sister, sends postcards to his father and his father's girlfriend.

Hayashi: Spends it with her parents, it's surprisingly wholesome.

Hiroaki: Parties a lot with his friends, and sometimes sends postcards to his parents when he remembers to do it.

Isono: New Year's stream!!!

Kamimura: Doesn't celebrate, but does send a postcard to his aunt.

Ojima: Hangs out with his brothers, but doesn't do anything too big.

Okazaki: Offers discounts on her unlicensed gender-affirming surgery, sends ominous postcards to anyone she wants to scare, looks at fireworks and commits some other kind of crime.

Sasaki: Spends it with friends, toasts at midnight with her family.

Tamba: Spends the day with her family.

Tsuno: Volunteer work so no one has a bad New Year's. Sends postcards to everyone she feels would appreciate one.

Wada: Watching Isono's stream.

Watari: Stays with her family until 12:00, and then immediately goes to party after that.

Yanagi: Spends it with his family.

Monomoko: Finds no meaning in the human tradition, so it doesn't do anything special.

I'm not doing the researchers I haven't read staffside sorry :(

-

Well, I hope that got you in the New Year's mood (it's still the 31st in my timezone at least)! Thanks for the ask, and happy New Year's everyone!!! Here's to a happy 2025!

Paying Attention

pairing: katniss everdeen x reader

summary: you girlfriend never pays attention....or at least nobody thinks she does

a/n: two fics in one night? I promise I have a life yall.

ahhhh this is so short but i haven't written for my girl in way to long. this is kinda based off that one request you sent me, @drima but I also kinda added my own thing. hope thats okay my love!!

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□

Your girlfriend has a short attention span.

Everyone knows it; her friends at the Hob who have to remind her over and over again how much she owes them after she gets distracted by some pretty butterfly, her mother and sister who listen to her tell the same story over and over again because she always forgets she told them when she’s busy cleaning up the house or cooking dinner, and you, her person, the one who gets all her love, who knows how to keep on her task and focused most of the time.

It’s one of your most impressive skills really; the ability of turning the girl who can't seem to sit still for more than a few minutes into a contented statue with only a touch or a word. You don’t even know how you do it, but it works and that’s that.

Or at least, it usually works.

Right now, as you sit down with her in the forest surrounding district 12, explaining some of the plants you just planted while she sits next to you, knee bouncing up and down as her eyes scan the forest. Her bow held loosely in her hand, though you know that at any given second she could grab an arrow from the quiver hooked to her back and have dinner in less than five seconds.

“Did you know that some plants actually help improve air quality indoors? Plants like spider plants and peace lilies are great for removing toxins from the air and keeping it clean.” You speak softly, eyes moving from the garden Katniss helped you make a few months ago to look at her while scanning the small clearing in hopes of finding hunt and uses her free hand to pick at the grass beneath her.

“They’re low-maintenance and don’t require as much watering as others. They’re perfect for people with busy lives who don’t have the time to babysit their greenery.” You chuckle at your own joke about her hectic schedule and lack of ability to keep a plant alive for more than a month due to it, but it dies down in your throat when you realize your words are falling on deaf ears.

Katniss’s eyes dart around, only stopping on you when she realizes you stopped talking. “Mhm. That’s cool honey.” 

You stare at her side profile for a second before you scoff quietly, standing up and grabbing your woven basket that contains veggies, herbs for Mrs. Everdeen and Primrose, and a few flowers. “Let’s just go. I know you want to hunt.” She immediately takes notice of your mood, seemingly a bit upset about her not focusing on the conversation at hand. She’s always been good at that; being able to tell what you’re feeling and fix it in a quick second.

Right now though, she doesn’t seem to care, just nodding slightly as she stands up and follows after you. “Alright.” The archer mumbles, lining up an arrow with her bow as she slowly walks ahead of you as to not disturb any animals around.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

You get over it, and everything goes back to normal with you and Katniss over the next month. You go with her to hunt almost every day, spending a bit of time at your garden tending to it before you join her to quietly walk through the forest in hopes of finding an unsuspecting animal. 

Tonight, you’re going to have dinner with the Everdeen family, invited by Primrose, Katniss’s sister, and reassured by your girlfriend that her mother would love to have you around. You help them out a lot whether it’s vegetables from your garden or part of the money you get from selling them in the Hob so they can enjoy a fulfilling dinner, and you try your hardest to hang out with the youngest girl when you have free time so that she has as many supporters as possible or go help out at their home by cleaning up and cooking so Katniss doesn’t have as much to do at the end of the day. It’s fun for you, and it’s great for them.

Anyway, Prim is the one who answers the door when you knock, grinning at the sight of the cookies you spent the last of the money you earned today to buy from some boy named Peeta at the bakery in town. “Katniss! Your lover is here!” You chuckle, and your girlfriend groans from somewhere in the house before gently shoving Prim out of the entryway so she can tug you by your arm inside.

Her mother is sat at the table, a book in hand as Katniss cooks and Primrose tidies up. No matter how many times you come over, the Everdeens are always trying to make their house in the Seam as clean as possible as to impress you.

Katniss goes back to cooking once she knows you're comfortable on the couch, brushing off your offers to help with a quick wave of her hand. She always feels the need to do everything possible to insure her loved ones don’t have to work too hard, and the urge includes you.

Before you know it, you’re washing dishes with Primrose after finally convincing your girlfriend to take a break, and said girl comes up to you two and leans her back against the counter while similtasntly holding something behind her back by the time the last dish is washed.

With a quick nod to her sister, the younger girl sighs before putting the last dish away and walking out of the room while mumbling about not even being thanked before she’s kicked out of her own kitchen.

Katniss holds out the item she was hiding for you to see, and your smile only grows at the sight. It’s a round flower crown, looking almost exactly the same size as your head. The adorableness of your big scary girlfriend holding such a pretty, delecit item is pushed into the back of your mind as you take notice of what flowers are on it. Peace Lilies.

“I was listening. I’m sorry it didn’t seem like it. And you were right, you know. I found some of these in the forest, re-planted them in a pot, and they’ve been growing on my nightstand ever since. I barely ever watered them yet they grew faster and bigger than any plant we’ve ever owned in this house.” The Everdeen girl chuckles, gently placing the crown on your head. “I want you to know that even when it seems like I’m not, I’m always listening to you. I love hearing you talk, and there’s a little file in my brain that holds every single thing you’ve ever told me.”

You nod with a small blush, adjusting the crown on your head before you hoist yourself up to sit on the counter. “I didn’t know you cared.”

 She stands in between your legs, her hands lifting to gently caress your cheek and then she places a chaste kiss on your forehead. “I care.”

◟✶◝ general qifrey dating headcanons

◟a/n◝ posting this in hopes that more people read and write for witch hat atelier... it's such a good series and I hope that the anime adaptation help boost its popularity 😞

• first of all, dating him means you also get four kids and one tired uncle. qifrey and the kids + Olruggio are one huge package deal but by know you probably already know.

• you two would have to have known eachother for awhile for any type of romantic relationship to blossom. Qifrey is already a mysterious man and keeps almost everyone far away from his actual self, going as far as erasing his best friends memories when he learned the truth.

• with you however he's nicer and gentler. you can see how his mask drops and cracks ever so slightly when you're alone with him asking about his magic and updates about the brimhats and surprising he'll tell you snippets of his progress though not enough for his true intentions to shine through but enough to bring you both closer.

• during the day he's practically clinging onto you whenever your near. If you live with him in his atelier then goodluck because you'll need every lucky item for him to leave your side even for a few hours. if you live farther away then you bet he'll visit you everyday when he's free, often bringing a new magical item Olruggio made or bringing along coco and the others for some training with you.

• speaking of his apprentices they love you alot, they love their professor so naturally that love pours onto you. often times they'll ask you to help or hang out with them if you're free. Riche will ask you to help clean brushbug, she loves observing how you work with or without magic. she loves how every move you make your personality shines through and she aspires to have that ability. Tetia often asks you things about fashion and what types of clothes look the best and what styles compliment the types of magic. sometimes she'll doodle new magic ideas or outfits to show too you and when you tell her that you're proud of her and her ideas are splendid her face shines so bright and she gives you a smile that melts everything around you.

• Agott really only asks you your opinion on new magic she made and if there's any improvements needed. you always tell her the truth while reassuring her that she's doing good and that her magic is something she should be very proud of. Coco is often by qifreys side when he visits you but sometimes she'll come alone and when she does she begs you to tell her anything that she doesn't know about magic. even if you tell her a basic fact about magic that every witch in the land knows her face will light up with excitement and she'll beg for more and sometimes to the point where qifrey or agott has to drag her away from you.

• qifrey is a huge sap, to the point he gets corny. when he does everyone, including you, groans loudly and looks away from him. he always brings you fresh flowers for your nightstand and always invites you over for dinner (if you live separately from him). on some nights where it's quiet and everyone has gone to bed he teaches you magic and sometimes you two learn something new together.

• moments like these are so important to qifrey, he adores magic and spending time improving it with someone he also adores is practically heaven for him. despite all the struggles he deals with and the despair that lingers in his mind, he always finds solace in you and he hopes if there's ever a time where he forgets who he is and what's important to him that you're there to guide him home.

[oldiesstationlover11607]

hey!! i’ve never requested before so 😢😅😅 anyways i’m obsessed w ur writing!! plus im so happy to see a fellow tøp writer still around!!:3

i’ll kind of you let you take the lead here of what you want to do, but i think the idea of “my brothers best friend” is sooo🥰

like josh is the readers brother, and of course tyler is always around & maybe you can do something fluffy where tyler was sleeping over at the house, and reader gets home late from an AWFUL date & they converse about it & reader admits that maybe these dates aren’t working bc her mind is on someone else..🤗

or something a bit “angsty” where josh teases his sister all the time, but tyler joins in as well and it really upsets the reader because she adores him

up to you!!!! i just like the concept^^

Bad Date - Tyler Joseph x Dun!Reader

Relationship: Tyler Joseph × Dun!Reader

Warnings: mild language, the date being weird and uncomfortable to reader

Word Count: 2659 - it's a longer one so ur welcome :)

A/N: Welcome new anon! Hope you like this one! It was super fun to write :) Definitely feel free to request another fic and if you become a regular we can assign you an emoji just like 💛 anon!

“So… did you like the movie?” My date asked as he pulled into the driveway of my house. He’d been begging me to go see some action movie he’d already seen twice before with his ‘boys’, because apparently ‘I was gonna love it.’ I’d met Matthew at work and he’d flirted with me for months before asking me out. Yeah, he was cute but not enough for me to be head over heels yet–I barely knew anything about him other than the fact that he was into movies and videogames. 

“Yeah,” I lied, staring at the front door and planning my escape route. Matthew turned to face me, a soft smile growing on his pale face. 

“Am I gonna get to see you again?” he breathed, the smell of the spaghetti he’d eaten for dinner wafting into my face. “Maybe I could meet your brother?” He reached out to stroke my hair like I was some domestic animal he could touch. I wanted to slap his hand away, the warm dampness of his palms waving over me. 

“Josh? Why would you want to meet him?” I scoffed. None of my other dates had ever talked about Josh and I was 90% sure I’d never even mentioned that I had a brother. Don’t get me wrong, I loved him more than anything but my dates were supposed to be about me. 

“He’s in that band that was playing Ichthus a few months ago right? Twenty one pilots?” Oh. It was about the band. It was about twenty one fucking pilots. 

“You know what? I’m gonna go,” I said, peeling his hand off me and getting out of the car. The lights beamed from the car, pathing the way for me to get into the house. 

“Y/N! Wait!” he shouted after me but stayed in the car. If he really wanted me to stop then he would’ve run after me. He was still shouting my name when I got to the front door. I knocked frantically on the wood, trying to get inside before I further embarrassed myself in front of the entire neighborhood. No one was answering and the lights inside were turned off as far as I could see through the window. I dug through my bag desperately trying to either find my keys or phone–anything to get into the house and out of the burning headlights of the car. The door in front of me creaked open before a hand pulled me inside and out of the cold night air. Tyler. 

“Are you okay?” he asked, leading me further into the house and into the lounge. It wasn’t rare that Tyler would spend the night at our house–he was Josh’s best friend and bandmate which meant after many late nights working on music he would just sleep over instead of going home. 

“Yeah, I’m okay,” I nodded, taking off my coat and hanging it on the rack in the hallway. “Has Josh gone to bed already?”

“Yeah, you know him,” he chuckled. “What was that about?” he pointed in the direction of the front of the house where Matthew’s car had undoubtedly already left. He moved to sit on the other end of the couch, resting his feet on our coffee table. 

“Just a bad date,” I attempted a laugh but failed to hide my embarrassment. 

“What made it bad?” he asked. I didn’t think he would care about his best friend’s little sister’s date. 

“Honestly?” He nodded. “I think he wanted to get to know Josh more than me–because of the band,” I sighed. Tyler’s mouth opened as if to say a silent ‘oh’. He looked upset, his face falling into an introspective visage that broke my heart. 

“Wait really?” he muttered and I nodded. “I’m sorry, that’s not fair at all.” He was right, it wasn’t fair at all. Clearly Matthew wasn’t for me. I got up to grab myself a drink from the kitchen and Tyler moved so he could see me from where he was sitting. 

“It’s okay though. I think I just haven’t found the right person yet, you know?” I grabbed Tyler a Red Bull from the fridge and poured myself a glass of ice cold water. His face lit up at the sight of the Red Bull can and I didn’t have the strength to hold back my own smile–his smile and laugh were just too contagious. I couldn't go longer than 10 seconds without bursting at the seams. 

“Yeah, I guess so. I’m just worried I’ll never find the right person,” I sighed. Tyler chuckled, taking a sip of his ‘liquid death’ as I’d called it almost every time I caught him drinking it. “What’s so funny?”

“I–I’m just thinking about it. What if you’ve already met the right person but you just don’t know it yet?” he hummed. I scoffed as if what he had said was ridiculous. Tyler was that person to say things no one else ever thought to say out loud–most of us just kept it inside out of the fear of being seen as ‘weird’. Tyler wasn’t afraid to be called weird. 

“That’s a bit unrealistic isn’t it? Surely if I had already met that person then I would know,” I responded. He pulled a face at me, as if to say ‘are you sure about that?’ “I don’t know Ty.” I shrugged. He scooted closer to me on the couch, moving so he was sitting right up against me. He reached up to curl my hair behind my ear in a much more genteller way than Matthew had earlier. I wanted him to keep his hand there, resting against my face–I really hadn’t realized how comfortable I was around him until tonight.  

“Listen, I think you’re going to find the perfect person for you in life. They’re gonna care about you so much and know every little fact about you–like how your favorite color is (insert favorite color here), or how Josh used to hide candy under your bed so no one other than you two could eat it. They’re going to love you more than anything and want you around 24/7,” he proclaimed. I really couldn’t hide the grin on my face, especially since it was now accompanied by a warm blush. 

“Have you met that person?” I asked. 

“I think so, yeah,” he breathed, placing the can in his hand onto the coffee table. 

“What’s she like?” 

He let out a loud breath before thinking. “She’s cool. One of the smartest people I know, beautiful and talented–though she doesn’t think she is–and she makes me love life more than anything. I haven’t told her how I feel though,” he dragged off. 

“Why not?” I questioned, taking a sip of my water and placing it next to Tyler’s can. I was invested now. 

“I think it’s just never come up before you know? It’s not like I can just blast my feelings at her when she’s off doing her own thing or it’s out of the blue.” 

I nodded, completely understanding. “I get that. I’m sure she likes you too, you’re a pretty great guy Tyler,” I smiled. 

“Pretty great huh?” he boasted. Tyler never really talked about his life outside of the band, Josh and I. I knew he worked at a church nearby and helped out with their music but other than that I had no idea what he did in his spare time. He smiled back at me and I found myself staring into his cinnamon brown eyes. I didn’t want to look away, in fact, I would stay here all night staring into his eyes if he’d let me.  He slowly and cautiously moved his hand back to my face, gently touching my cheek before speaking. “Can I ask you something?” I snapped out of the daze he’d caught me in. 

“Yeah anything,” I nodded. 

He took a deep breath before speaking again and looked away for a moment, curling a very short strand of his hair around his index finger and tugging it slightly. “If I tell you something, do you promise not to get mad?”

“Tyler, it's me. I’m not going to get mad at you,” I stated. I’ve never really been the type of person to get mad easily. His shoulders rose and fell as he chuckled quietly.

“And you won’t tell anyone? Not even Josh?” 

“That depends on what you’re about to tell me,” I answered. Josh and I didn’t really keep secrets from each other, ever. If he was going to tell me the band was breaking up of course I would tell Josh but if it was personal and didn’t affect my brother then of course I’d keep it a secret. He started to pull his hair a bit harder which I noticed as he became anxious. “Hey, hey, it’s okay. Just tell me what’s going on,” I reassured, taking his hand in mine and holding it gently. 

“I’m not sure how to say this but.. I… just… please promise me you’ll try and understand what I’m about to tell you…” Tyler was good with words, always knowing what to say so if he didn’t know how to tell me something then it had to be a big deal. He took another shaky breath, his eyes closing and opening again as he continued to look between me and our hands. I felt like I was about to pass out from the anticipation. What on earth would he want to tell me and not Josh? He squeezed my hand and swallowed before speaking. His voice was gentle and shaky, the most vulnerable I’d ever heard–even in his music.“I think–I think you’re my person.”

I’d never really thought of Tyler like that before. Sure, he was famous and talented and handsome and kind and actually interested in my life, but he–we weren’t supposed to–god he was pretty wasn’t he?

“Huh?” Damn it Y/N! What kind of a response is fucking ‘huh’. The awkward silence was growing rapidly with every second and I was beginning to panic. Tyler’s eyes were locked onto mine, his face conflicted but retaining the little confidence he had. “I–uh. Does Josh know?” He shook his head, holding my hand closer in his hand and rubbing his thumb over my knuckles. He let out a short chuckle, his eyes darting away for a moment in embarrassment. It was a quiet chuckle, one that let out some of the shakiness he had before. 

“No, he doesn’t,” he muttered. “And I’d rather he didn’t know until… well until I’ve talked to you about it,” he continued, glancing up at me again and meeting my gaze. I nodded, trying to bite back the delusional smile growing on my face. He undoubtedly had noticed my poor attempt because his nervous demeanor softened as he cupped my face. “Can I do something that I’ve wanted to do for a really long time?�� I hummed a yes, looking up at him through my eyelashes. He let out a shaky breath, his heart racing as he moved his free hand to gently rest against my chin. He tilted it up so he could meet and hold my gaze. He could feel his own eyes staring into mine as he almost lost all train of thought. There was so much I wanted to say. My brain was speeding like a bullet, endless trains of thought rushing through a mile a minute. He leaned forwards slowly, his hand still holding my chin and his other hand gently gripping my fingers. He was so close I could see every single detail–every tiny imperfection and scar, every eyelash, and every crease. There was something about him that made me feel like my life depended on this one moment and I absolutely could not mess this up. His thumb brushed against my lower lip and my eyes fluttered closed. He pulled my chin so he could meet me face to face, my neck tilted up to look at him directly. His cheeks had reddened from the intimacy of the moment. His eyes were staring into mine again, his gaze flickering between my eyes and my mouth. He was so incredibly close to me, his lips millimeters from my own. I could feel his warm breath against my face, my own coming out shakily. His fingers moved from my chin to my jaw, his touch feather-like against my skin. His thumb continued to gently brush back and forth across my lower lip and I found myself leaning up to him without even thinking. I didn’t think he could get any closer, but then he started to move his head down towards mine, and my breath got caught in my throat. I was absolutely, one hundred percent, completely and utterly screwed. My heart stopped as he pressed his lips to mine. I didn’t realize until now just how much I wanted this. How badly we had wanted each other. I breathed in sharply, trying to control myself and the flood of emotions that were trying to swallow me whole as I reached up to cup his face with both my hands. He pulled me closer to him, so that there was no space left between us. He let every single piece of love he had for me pour out of his body and into the kiss. And he made sure I felt it by pulling me so that I was almost in his lap, my legs on either side of his as he ran his hand up and down my back and through my hair. Everything he was doing was perfect, the kiss and the way his hands felt against my body. He was everything. I broke the kiss to take a breath, pulling back and getting my hair out of my face. “I’m guessing you probably want to give us a go then?” Tyler laughed, his hands moving down to my waist. I nodded, cupping his jaw with my right hand. “I’ve waited so long to do that.” He breathed out. He was smiling, a genuine smile. He gently gripped my hips, shifting me a little so I was fully in his lap. “You have absolutely no idea just how long I've wanted to kiss you.” 

“Well I’m glad I’m not the only one who was thinking about this,” I laughed. “At least now my dates aren’t going to ask me about Josh or the band.” Tyler’s chest rose and fell with each breath. 

“That’s true. Now you’re with the lead singer,” he sarcastically bragged. 

A quiet shuffling noise sounded through the hallway causing me to dart my head over Tyler’s shoulder. 

“Shit.” I climbed off his lap and grabbed my glass, running into the kitchen before the shuffling reached us. Josh. He was wearing his red plaid pajama pants and was shirtless. 

“Hey,” he croaked, rubbing his eyes. 

“How was your date?” he asked, filling up his water bottle in the sink. I looked at Tyler who had his arms folded behind his head and a smirk covering his face. I flashed a warning his way before answering my brother. 

“He was asking about you and the band,” I muttered, “we’re not having another date.” Josh looked apologetic, a hint of regret tangled in his voice. 

“I’m sorry. You’ll find someone–I’m sure of it,” he sighed, pulling me into a hug. 

“Yeah I have a feeling you’ll find someone soon. For all you know they could be right in front of you,” Tyler chimed. 

“Yeah, they could be right under your nose,” Josh yawned, pulled in into a hug before disappearing back into the hallway and away to bed, leaving Tyler and I alone once again. I waited a bit before jumping back onto the couch next to him, falling into his embrace. 

“You cannot do that again,” I scoffed, shoving him playfully. 

“You know you love it."

[14dayswithyou]

Hello! Quick question but what would the cast be like if they had a crush on Angel?

Ren The entirety of 14DWY and this blog hjdsgdsg

Moth Less likely to infodump on you at 3AM in fear of annoying you, but more likely to suggest romance anime and webtoons. They'll start to see you in their favourite characters, and will constantly be checking their phone for any messages from you.

Violet Much more open to dropping by your place at random hours and will usually make tea or some snacks for you both to enjoy! She'll create special bouquets with hidden meanings for you, and even ask if you'd like to join her on her nightly walks.

Elanor Extremely shy and awkward. She'll knock things over — even more than usual — and mess up the simplest tasks because she's too busy thinking about you. Will be over the moon if you help her out with any jobs at the library, and might even ask if you'd like to hang out with her at their favourite cafe after work.

Conan Much more talkative and interested in spending time with you at work. He'll talk about you to Alice without realising it, and might even find himself wanting to try out your recommended books as well. He'll make sure you're taking adequate breaks more often, and is willing enough to install an entire vending machine/kitchen appliance of your choosing.

Jae Finds himself sitting at the beach and daydreaming about you rather than surfing or playing fetch with Maple. He'll see you in all of the seashells he picks up, the guys he sees on the street with your hair colour, and might even unknowingly gush about you to Teo and Leon as well.

Leon Stays up until dawn just thinking about you, and often tries to plan his days in accordance with yours. He'll try to sync up his schedule to spend as much time with you, and might even ask if you want to visit his mother on your day off and take her out for lunch.

Teo Would be less willing to hit someone up and finds himself scrolling through your social media/pics of you to pass the time. He'd buy you luxury items "just because", and offer to drive you places free of charge because it means he gets to hang out with you more.

Olivia Slacks off during work because she's wondering if you've eaten yet — and if you haven't, she'll be trying to budget in a way to order your favourite food. She might even blow all her savings on a cute outfit if it means getting you to notice her (and catch feelings as well).

Kiara Makes time out of her busy schedule for you. She'll put meetings on hold and even cancel an event if you call her up with something important to say. Out of everyone, she's the most likely to drop not-so-subtle drop hints that she's into you.

The Heathers + Veronica play Pokemon

I'm still working on the follow up to the Road Trip which is The Heathers + Veronica get Married, so in the meantime I made this

Mac has been a fan of Pokemon as long as she can remember

When her mom would stick in her front of the TV because she was tired of dealing with her, she would turn the channel to Cartoon Network, which was often playing episodes of the Pokemon Anime

Specifically it was the Black/White series and later the X/Y series

She was engrossed in this magical world where she could go on adventures with friends and her pokemon companions and where the power of friendship would always prevail

Plus Ash's mom was a kind caring person who wanted the best for her son, literally the exact opposite of her mom

She became hyperfixated on it

During class she would draw pictures of pokemon, she would daydream of being a pokemon trainer and during recess she would force Chandler to play pokemon with her

She even had a book called Pokemon; The Essential Guide, which she read so often that she could recall it from memory

Eventually after much begging Mac's mom eventually said 'If it will get you to shut the fuck up' and bought Mac a 3DS with X and Y and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

She blitzed through these games, playing them whenever she had a second that she didn't have to be doing anything else

Even when Chandler would come over to hang out Mac would just not acknowledge her existence and just keep playing

Her obsession started to really bother Chandler, she just wanted to spend time with her best friend, and she was spending all of her time on this stupid Chinese monster game!

She tried to not-so-gently tell Mac to put the stupid game away and hang out with her but Mac got upset so she reluctantly dropped it

Eventually Mac finished all of the games and wasn't so fixated on them, but she still played them a lot

She would even sneak it into school and play it at lunch

Of course, the more popular students saw it and started to make fun of her for it, calling her a baby and a nerd

One of them even tried grabbing the 3DS, causing it to bump into the lunch table and creating a small dent in the corner

This caused Mac to start crying, which only increased the taunts against her

Chandler, who up to that point had been telling Mac to just ignore it, launched into a fit of rage, beating the ever loving shit out of the bullies

Both her and Mac got suspended, her for obvious reasons and Mac for brining the 3DS to school

The bullies played dumb and because they were popular and well-liked they got off scot-free

That was one of many events that made Chandler realize that for her and Mac to survive school, they would have to be the popular ones

With the time she had while suspended, Chandler had time to think about how she was treating Mac and her newfound love for pokemon

She realized that she was being an awful friend, she wanted Mac to stop doing something she loves just so she could get what she wanted

She thought about how when Mac would try and talk to her about the game and what she was doing, trying to include her while she played, and how she just ignored it because she wasn't interested, not even considering how it would hurt Mac to realize that her best friend doesn't care about the things she likes and wouldn't even pretend to care

She realized that she would have to make it up to her

While her parents were sleeping she went down, found their credit cards, and went to amazon and searched for 'Pokemon'

Chandler knows she's not the best with words, she knows that if she tried to apologize to Mac she wouldn't be able to convey everything that she wanted to, and even worse she might say something wrong and only upset her more

Knowing that, she decided to make it up to her by doing what she knows how to do, and that's buying things

She searched the amazon pages, seeing cards, various toys, some really nasty posters with something called a Vaporeon? before finding the plushies

She knows that Mac likes those, so she picked some of the ones she recognized and ordered them

Luckily for her, her parents were so fucking rich that they didn't notice a few bucks missing

A few days later, once the package arrived, she went over to Mac's house to apologize

Mac was still really upset, not only was she suspended from school, but her mom was angry at her and lets just say that if you thought her mom was a bitch normally, she was even worse when angry

She went into her room, hiding the plushes behind her back

Mac was lying in bed, staring at the wall, not even acknowledging her presence

Chandler tried telling her that she wanted to apologize but before she could even show the plushes Mac started shouting

She yelled about how awful her mom was and that she took away her games and threatened to smash them with a hammer

Before Chandler could even get a word of condolence in Mac continued about how she knows when they go back to school things are gonna be even worse because those kids are gonna spread rumors about them

And again before Chandler can say a word Mac says that on top of all of that her best friend has been distant ever since she started liking pokemon and she's terrified that she's gonna lose her over it and she doesn't wanna lose her she's the best friend she's ever had and and

She starts sobbing

Chandler quickly rushes over to Mac, pulling her into a hug while she sobs into her shoulder

Once she calms down Chandler shows her the plushies, upon which Mac squeals in delight before hugging her and saying thank you thank you thank you, before they talk about what transpired

Chandler apologizes, saying that Mac was right and that she was being distant, but that was in the past and she would change and would listen when she talked about pokemon

It wasn't a great apology by any means, but it was good enough for Mac, and she pulled up Cartoon Network and made Chandler watch a bunch of episodes of the anime with her

She didn't really get it or find it all that interesting, but she knew how much it meant to Mac that she do this with her, so she asked some questions and listened when Mac went on tangents about aspects of the world

Throughout the years, Mac continued to love and play Pokemon

It toned down over time, as most childhood obsessions do, but she still never stopped loving it

She stopped playing all-together around when Sword/Shield came out, it was around when they started to become really popular and so Chandler made them drop any nerdish hobbies that could be used to ridicule them

Mac was ok with it because that was when Dexit happened and she was really upset that she wouldn't be able to transfer her previous teams to the newest generation

But then Veronica joined the Heathers, Mac and Chandler's relationship expanded to include Duke and Veronica, high school ended and popularity didn't mean a thing anymore, so Mac was free to pick up Pokemon again

It took her a while to get over Dexit (she was really upset that she couldn't bring her Delphox into Sword/Shield, it was her first pokemon damnit!) but she eventually did

It was around this time that Scarlet/Violet were about to come out and the hype was real

Duke is in the same boat as Chandler, she doesn't really get it but Mac loves it so she'll go along with it, but Veronica is only slightly less into it than Mac

She was similar to Mac, playing up until Sword/Shield and then stopping due to Dexit and a lack of interest, but bc she wasn't popular there wasn't the pressure to stop playing entirely, and once the DLC came out she became interested once again and picked up the games

She had a lot of fun teaching Mac about the gen 8 stuff, and they played and battled together while waiting for Scarlet/Violet to come out

**Line Break**

The day it came out they woke up at some ridiculous hour and waited outside Gamestop for hours in the dark and freezing temperatures until the store opened

There wasn't even anyone else waiting and they had pre-ordered copies, there was literally no reason to do it, they were just that excited

Mac got Scarlet and Veronica got Violet so they would be able to trade with the other for the version exclusives

Mac told her Dad that she wasn't coming in today and Veronica is self-employed, so they both spend the entire day playing the game

Eventually Chandler takes their switches and forces them to go to bed because "you two fucks have been playing this game for 14 hours straight with no breaks. Go. The Fuck. To. Bed."

They did go to bed, but they got up at 4am to keep playing

Chandler was about to ground them like children if they didn't put up the game for 5 minutes to eat something and take a shower, but Duke stepped in and said she would talk to them about maybe slowing down a little

Chandler waits for Duke to come back and let her know how it went

She waits, and waits, and waits some more, until she has had enough and goes out to the living room to see whats taking her so long

Duke is laying on the couch with them, her own switch in hand

During the time Chandler waited, Duke went down, tried talking to them only to see them having fun, asked a few questions, got super interested and forgot about why she went down there, got so interested that she went to the store, bought a switch and a game, and came back and started playing

Chandler is about to start beating her head against the wall

The three of them try for months and months to get her to actually play it, but she just isn't that interested

They need a fourth person for raids, and the only other person they know who plays is JD but he does le epic troll and will do stupid shit like bringing a Mewtwo knowing only metronome

Veronica eventually wins her over by appealing to her massive ego, saying that the whole point of the game is becoming better at everyone else, and that if she play she could eventually beat them too

Between that, Mac's puppy-dog eyes, and her getting tired of the relentless begging, she eventually picks up a game and starts playing

She gets more into it than Mac ever was or is

What draws her in is the sheer amount of different strategy that is available to her

There are just so many different pokemon, each of which has multiple different strategies that work for them, not to mention items and movesets and all of that

She thought pokemon was rather simple, but there was much more depth than she could've even imagined, and she gets lost in it

She blitzes not only through Scarlet/Violet and their DLC (She got both, she had to have access to every pokemon and you can't just do that in one version) but also Sword/Shield + DLC and Legends Arceus

And when it finally came time for them to battle, Chandler wiped the floor with the rest of them, it wasn't even close

It was so one-sided that it wasn't fun for the rest of them

Chandler sees this and starts to feel bad, she knows that she overdoes things sometimes, especially when her pride is on the line

She thinks about toning it down so they're on a more even playing field, but she doesn't think her fiancees would have fun winning if they knew that she was essentially allowing them to win

So instead on a lazy day she sits down with them and explains the basics of competitive battling, that way they'll all be on an even playing field

It works, and now when they battle together there's a chance for any of them to win

Now I'm just gonna go over some of their favorites about pokemon

Chandler

Game: B2W2, she loves the PWT and the strategy needed to beat the Champion's Cup

Pokemon: Blaziken, when she played ORAS she fell in love with Mega Blaziken, Speed Boost, and just how good it was

Part about Pokemon: Definitely strategy, its what drew her into the franchise in the first place. She loves trying out new and different strategies, and follows the VCG to keep up to date with all the newest ideas being put out

Duke

Game: USUM, it was the last game to have the National Dex, and so it was the game to contain the most pokemon in it

Pokemon: Sceptile, she just thinks that it's really cool. Plus its a lizard, and she loves lizards and has tried to convince Chandler to let her get a Madagascar Giant Day Gecko

Chandler can barely stand the snake so there's no way in hell that she will ever agree to getting a gecko, plus they're really creepy

Part about Pokemon: Collecting/Catching Pokemon, she loves completing Pokedexes, and its why she was so upset when she found out about dexit, there was less to collect and evolve

Mac

Game: XY, it was her first game, and even if it isn't the best game in the series, it holds a lot of nostalgia for her

Pokemon: Ampharos, she loves the entire line

She thinks Mareep is just sooooo cute, he's a tiny little sheep and he's so flufffffffy

She had one on her first ever playthough team and she was able to get a mega stone for it so it could mega evolve

She thinks the mega is just so ridiculous and it's a dragon?? but that's why she loves it so much

Plus, one of the first gifts Duke ever got for her when they started their relationship was a Mareep plush (Chandler gave her some pointers on what Mac would like)

She keeps it at a place of honor on her shelf and often sleeps with it

Part of Pokemon: Bonding with the Pokemon, she loves all the little minigames like Refresh and Amie where you can brush and pet and feed your pokemon

And even though she knows they're just lines of code, she does feel like she bonds with her Pokemon as she goes along a journey with them

Veronica

Game: SV, she has fond memories of her and Mac playing it when it came out, memories which she treasures dearly

Pokemon: Blastoise, to her its a perfect pokemon. It's simple yet effective, its a cute turtle that becomes a big turtle with freakin cannons on its back

Part of Pokemon: The interconnectivity. She loves battling and trading with her fiancees and just being able to bond with them over it, its something they can all do together that they all enjoy

Just kidding, she loves the cards

She is fucking addicted to opening cards, the Heathers have to drag her away from the card section every time they go to the store

JD enables it, him and Veronica will go buy packs and slushies and just sit and open them

She has boxes and boxes of commons sitting in her room that she refuses to get rid of

Murder Drones Rider Au + Uzi fanart

Or should i say... Murder Drive AU HEHEHEHE

This lovely amalgamation was made by yours truly when putting murder drones and pretty bikes on a blender hoping for something fancy. And i did it.

The mechanics are simple! (Haha get it? Mechanics)

Uzi is a moody mechanic (i will get real tired of the word mechanic and so will you.) Working in your local Auto shop: Copper's 9 ! Owned by daddy dearest Khan Doorman! She mostly does repairs and common car maintenance, aaand if she decides she likes you well enough you'll get some neat modifications for half the price! (Its a lie but only she knows that)

In her free time she stays around the back of the store repairing and selling old cars as a hobby that also doubles as a side hustle.

Her life in home isn't as sweet as she would hope for but she's learned to cope, something that she specializes in after her Moms disappearance; Nori Doorman, presumed dead.

Shes the only occupant of a nice little apartment, moving from their parents house a few years after Nori's disappearance and Khan's neglect. Rarely visited by anyone she stays little time in her apartment, either watching anime after a tiring day, eating lunch, showering after a messy oil spill or just existing after closing hours. Youll definitely see her more at the shop doing gods knows what this time. The reson why Uzi doesn't spend more time in the little home shes built herself is because of the atmosphere, too cold and gloomy for her liking, the barren space reminding her too much of her loneliness.

("She looks soo much like Uzi" you all say in unison.)

Nathaniel, or best known as "N" is a Bike racer, youll see him proudly sporting his various motorcycles all earned by his sweat, hard work, and money from illegal races.

N has and incredible set of bad luck, following him like a stubborn rain cloud with every single bike he touches breaking down at some point. No matter how much he dotes over them or how carefull he is; they will break. And thats a promise from the universe, aparently.

He lives in a fairly big house with his other two roommates: Jay, "J" and Veronica, "V". They all participate in their own races, N and V competing frequently while J sits back and collects their winnings. J also participates in rare ocations.

When N is not flying through the streets, or winning the months rent he resides in his little corner of the garage painting, drawing, scrap booking or doing whatever craft he can get his hands onto.

(I will probably add more on N later on)

N and Uzi meet when Ns bike breaks in "the middle of nowhere" according to V, so he just sits quietly besides the road waiting for either backup (V showing up to rescue him after cackling over the phone and then hanging up) or to simply perish. Uzi was heading to the workshop in Railgun (a very beat up, highly modified but very loved minitruck that she herself constructed from other cars parts) When she came across a very puppy kicked to the side of the road sad looking person laying down besides the road by a very nice looking motorcycle. She slows down to take a quick peek to the bike when the person laying down jumps immediately at her side after noticing her slowing down, begging asking for a ride to the closest Auto shop explaining how his bike broke. Uzi (although very begrudgingly) decides to help this weird friendly stranger as her good deed of the year. She parks to the side of the road helping N heave the bike into the trunk and waits until he hops into the passenger seat to begin their way to Copper's 9.

After Fixing N's bike (and getting a tip she will not complain about) She gives the rundown on what the problem of the bike was and how to avoid it. N thanks her (a little too much if you ask Uzi) and parts ways. Uzi not dwelling about it goes on to the rest of her day, not thinking about seeing N again anytime soon.

Not even a week later N shows up again with another bike, this one looking like it went into the devils asscrack and back. Uzi just gives him a glare and gets to work.

That is NOT the last time that happens. (She counts 12 visits in one month, what the hell N?)

So! This is the basic information about my silly little Au, i don't have a name for it yet, I have been calling it Murder Drive for gits and shiggles but i don't know if I should make it the official name of this Au, if you have any suggestions tell me about it!

And I've been thinking about making it a fic buuut I've never written anything lengthy before, and English is not my first language so you can imagine how I feel.

Do tell me how you feel about it, or if you have any asks send 'em my way!

ALSO! THIS IS A HUMAN AU!! YAYAY HUMANS‼️‼️

“I hope we’re not too late,” Saeran worries as he leads you into the store. 

“I’m sure they still have plenty,” you assure him, “And even if they don’t have anything left over, we still need to pick up some stuff. I mean, we’re almost out of tissues, and the candy dish is running low, so it’s not like it’ll be a waste of a trip. And besides, it’s still good to spend time together, even if we don’t end up buying anything while we’re here.” 

“You’re right, my love,” Saeran concedes, “I should be grateful just for the opportunity to be together. But… I am looking forward to seeing what’s on sale.”

Naturally, while he was stuck at Magenta (and even before that), Saeran missed out on a lot of usual experiences. Many of them are things you’ve done a million times and would never have described as exciting or novel until Saeran brought them up to you. This date is one particular example of something which seems mundane to you, but which your husband is brimming with excitement at the thought of trying. 

“They usually don’t sell out of anything within the first few days,” you assure him, “A lot of the candy is meant to last for months, and most people don’t want to get, like, Valentine bears when it’s not Valentine’s season, anyway.” 

“Hmph,” Saeran affects an adorable, exaggerated pout, which makes you swoon a little bit. “They can’t enjoy it all year round?”

“Apparently not,” you reply, trying and failing to contain your laughter. 

You lead Saeran through the aisles to the back of the store, where the clearance section is located. As promised, the section still boasts a good amount of discounted Valentine’s Day merchandise. There are sweets, cards, ribbons, stuffed animals, and even okay-looking pieces of costume jewelry on offer. To your slight dismay, there are even a few snake-themed items left over from last month’s Lunar New Year collection.

“Wow,” Saeran marvels at a small  snake ornament craft kit, “I didn't expect that these would still be here.” 

“Well, people won’t be able to use it next year, will they?” You reason, “But, then again, I guess they could always hang onto it.”

“It’s still pretty cute.” Saeran places the kit into his basket. “I’d like to learn ornament-making.” Now that he’s free, after all, Saeran has the time and the energy to try a wide variety of different hobbies. You’re always intrigued when another of his many, varied interests reveals itself. 

“Let me find you a Valentine’s one,” you offer, “I’m sure they have some.” You make your way over to the craft section. Although the majority of these craft kits are clearly intended for children, you and Saeran both agree that they can serve as good introductions for adults to try new creative hobbies, as well. “Let’s see… Valentine’s friendship bracelets, heart-shaped pillows, heart-shaped tray— ah, here we go: a heart-shaped ornament. It looks like this one uses punch needle embroidery.” You don’t believe that Saeran has any experience with that. 

“Oh, I’ve seen those online,” Saeran looks with interest at the package that you hand him. “That’ll be a lot of fun.” 

“Mhm,” you agree, “I might pick up this pillow. Doesn’t it look cute? And I don’t think Apple Turnover is going to give us back the one she’s been using.” Since you adopted her, Apple Turnover has gravitated to a lovely white throw pillow embroidered with a pattern of yellow pears. When she’s not sitting with Saeran— or, occasionally, with you, her second choice— she is curled up on the pillow. It’s turned grey with the addition of her black hairs. 

“That’s a good idea,” Saeran agrees, “Maybe we could work together and make different throw pillows to put on the couch during every holiday season.”

You can’t help but crack a smile at how earnestly your husband has presented such a profoundly domestic idea. You don’t need to voice the fact that two years ago, neither one of you ever would’ve expected to live this kind of life. 

“That’s a great idea, babe,” you encourage him with a gentle smile, “Very interior decorator of you.”

“We should look for a springtime pillow kit in the regular craft section once we get done here,” Saeran muses. 

“Okay,” you shrug, “I’m guessing they’ll probably have at least something. And if not, they might just have a regular pillow-making kit.”

“You’re probably right, my love,” Saeran regards you fondly. If you weren’t in public, you would go in for the kiss right away. As it is, you make a mental note to do so as soon as you get him home. “Should we look at candy now?” 

“Let’s do that.” You take his hand and lead him over to the candy section.

obey me characters and their visions

Or what I think are their visions idk it’s 3 am and I just found out I failed my pathology exam so here’s a crossover of two games that provides me an escape from this putrid reality 😁

also just trying to get rid of drafts rn

Tags: sfw, pure crack speculation, I’m going insane, obey me demon brothers and undateables and luke, genshin impact visions, everything here is MY OPINION and should not be taken seriously, feel free to disagree with me

Lucifer

-He strikes me as the type to either have a hydro vision or a geo vision

-more leaning towards hydro

-hydro vision holders tend to be dedicated to their work and uphold their own view of justice, more often than not being protectors of some sort i.e Candace and Aaru village, Ayato with the Kamisato Clan

-I draw parallels between him and Ayato because they both have gone through hell and back for their families (often literally) and have had to salvage tarnished reputations in order to protect said family

-also very rich and elegant men who have a “dark side” that most aren’t aware of

-It’s also just every hydro character being really sophisticated and elegant tbh he fits the vibe I think (minus Childe but he has his moments)

-Geo because, well… look at him. He’s prime geo vision material. Like a rock solid wall holding up the HOL but like he’s also hanging by a thread lol.

Mammon

-Geo Vision, Hear me out on this.

-Not only does it suit his color palette, but if you think about it, Mammon places a lot of responsibility on himself to be a good older brother to his siblings (despite falling short most times), we see this especially during Nightbringer

-Geo’s thing is literally responsibility. Every geo user has some sort of responsibility that they themselves have chosen to undertake, whether or not they can handle it

-They’re all also quite stubborn. Once they’re dead set on something they will never let it go, and on top of that they also protect either someone or something

-Every geo user has a goal relating to something to do with material or status: Ningguang and the Tianqiu, Noelle wanting to be in the KOF, Zhongli wanting to retire (lmfao). Mammon wanting to be rich (and wanting him and his brothers to be at the top of the Devildom in Nightbringer) literally fits.

-Mammon, despite being a goofy character, fits into geo so perfectly it’s actually insane.

-Mammon and Itto are the same person. I’m not elaborating.

Levi

-Electro vision all the way.

-It’s no surprise. Canonically he’s seen as a weirdo, even by his brothers (not me tho I love my men a little pathetic) and he doesn’t spend much time mingling with others, so of course he’s gonna be singled out

-almost every single electro vision holder is outcasted by at least one society; Beidou being cast out of her village, Fischl being thought of as eccentric because of her personality, the literal electro archon becoming a shut-in

-He would absolutely get the vision probably in like the early part of Nightbringer when we got stuck in the TSL universe and he had to make a decision

-(if you’re wondering why I keep bringing up Nightbringer it’s bc it’s the one I’m currently playing ok)

-Levi also passes the “I have a scary animal that helps me fight” thing. Henry’s quite formidable when he’s back to normal size :)

Satan

-Hm, thinking about it and at first I’d say dendro is the obvious answer but there’s also quite a few other contenders actually.

-Pyro is one of them, and when drawing parallels Diluc comes to mind (obvs grumpy men stick together always.) As the avatar of wrath, he’s like mad 80% of the time and I can imagine him raining hellfire upon everything (and he has, best believe).

-But also he’d fit the “passionate” description, he’s so passionate about books and magic that he’d literally kill for a book that he wanted (and did I’m pretty sure). He’d also be considered passionate for hating Lucifer so much I think

-he also has quite the past to fit with a pyro user, especially during Nightbringer when he’s still coming into terms about being basically a baby demon and learning to confront his brothers and finally accept them

-Dendro is quite obvious for him. He craves knowledge from books, and I’m sure if he were in Teyvat he’d find his way in the Akademiya just to get into the House of Daena’s restricted section

-I think either or could be his vision, depends on which Satan you’re talking about (Nightbringer Satan and main timeline Satan are two vastly different individuals)

-if you really wanna get into it tho, cryo/electro's pretty... fitting. Especially for nightbringer Satan. Even if his brothers try not to make him feel like it, he will always be different from them; the fact that he basically was made to replace Lillith in a sense, and he distances himself away from them because he just doesn't fit in.

-all in all he's so versatile realistically he could have like 4/7 visions since his character is so dynamic between the two games

Asmodeus

-Now this was harder to come up with, but after giving it some thought I think he’d have an Anemo vision

-think of it this way. In Nightbringer take a shot everytime I bring that game up his whole arc in the beginning was learning to let go of the celestial realm and accepting the fact that he was a demon now, effectively granting himself the freedom to love himself once more

-Anemo is the element of freedom right? He fought himself and his inner demons for freedom like that, which happens to a lot of those who are granted this vision (Wanderer and Xiao moment)

-Thats really all I have for him. Tbh, the only other vision I could see him wielding his pyro, but I couldn’t think of anything else I can say that hasn’t already been said

-another short anemo king go figure (he and heizou would get along I think)

Beelzebub

-another one I had to really think of, but upon further deliberation with myself I'm thinking pyro again (the default vision lmfao)

-Yes. Passion for food, he'd get along with Xiangling quite well (too well, imagine her in the devildom holy shit)

-Also pretty passionate about working out and protecting his brothers, so there's that lol

-I am stumped on him bc he's like lowkey just there bro like

-how would he even get his vision idk man

-but imo pyro is the default vision so he gets it (feel free to disagree with me)

Belphegor

-If you think this guy does not have an anemo vision you are wrong

-like dead mf wrong he is anemo all the goddamn way

-he lost his sister and still blames himself for it, but he also wants to be free with his brothers in the devildom

-the other vision i would give him is electro because he does tend to like, shut himself off or whatever so there's that

-but he's 100% anemo I don't make the rules sorry

-first tall male anemo user?? (surprisingly he's 5'10 guys it's probably all that sleep he does lmfao)

Diavolo

-hmmmm, such a hard decision I wonder what vision I would give to the literal prince of hell- pyro.

-jk jk let me explain

-Pyro, because as I've stated before, it is both the default vision imo and also the vision for those who are passionate IMO (I cannot stress this enough)

-Diavolo is very passionate about RAD, and the whole "demons getting along with other species" concept is something he has been working very hard on (man is trying to end specieism in the obey me verse)

-on top of his outgoing and friendly personality, pyro really does fit him like a glove. I could make an argument for geo because he shoulders a fuck ton of responsibility for the devildom (esp in nightbringer) but like

-he is warm and friendly and strong, perfect pyro material

Barbatos

-I needed to think about this one for a bit, but after further deliberation with the screams that echo in my head, I am confident in saying that this man has an anemo vision

-if he were in the genshin universe he'd def be one of the shady people from celestia (bro is literally istaroth but i digress)

-as much as anemo fits him aesthetically, I also want to point out that he just... gives people freedom? Like the first half of nightbringer was him finally fulfilling someone's wish to go to heaven to see their lover

-he also just parallels a lot with venti, idk i just see him being very fitting with an anemo vision

-like, he's immortal yet does not look it (Scara, Xiao, Venti), downplays his power to appear "normal" in a sense that he won't be an immediate threat to those perceiving him (Venti), saw a pyro kid and decided to adopt them and begrudgingly take care of them no matter how annoying they are (Xiao and Hu Tao though I may be reaching)

Luke

-bro does not have a vision yet (jk its cryo)

-I feel like he'd be given a hydro vision solely for the fact that he is changing his, quite frankly specie-ist, ways lol (like eula hello?)

-he is quite shy when mc first met him, the only reason why he didn't immediately get mad at them is because they weren't a demon and that's saying something

-he tends to be very guarded around said demons, often becoming aggressive when interacting with them but he's warming up. It's like a wall of ice slowly melting through the mc and simeon's guidance

-he also reminds me of mika for some reason

Solomon

-he has an electro vision and yes, it's exactly the same situation as Lisa

-though he doesn't need one (none of them do tbh), I feel like he wanted one just for shits and giggles like I definitely see him being a descender on Teyvat

-he's literally the most powerful human in the obey me verse, of course he's going to be viewed differently from others even though he "tries" to not be too overt about it (very, very big emphasis on tries. I think he only does it for mc atp)

-I feel like he'd get along well with the electro ladies as well, particularly Miko and Lisa (Gorou and Luke need to hide like asap)

-in all seriousness though, he just fits into electro so well given all the character traits present in electro wielders

-another vision I could see him having is dendro, partly because he's always down to have more knowledge about magic that he doesn't know yet and is in constant pursuit of creating pacts with the demon brothers

Simeon

-another hydro wielder :)

-calm, collected, elegant, sticks to their principles- classic hydro archetype tbh I love him so much

-again, very similar to Lucifer's reasoning but he leans more towards hydro wielders like Nilou and Candace I think, who are quite relaxed but won't hesitate to protect what they love and fight for what they deem is right

-spoiler warning: he literally got cast out of heaven for the mc.

-as I've said before, there really isn't anything I can add that I haven't said before, other than the fact that Simeon would definitely enjoy Xinqiu's company and possibly get along with Furina when discussing acting and the arts

-other than hydro, I don't think any other vision suits him tbh (big maybe on anemo but like, it doesn't really fit tbh)

I am so fucking bad at character analysis but here you guys go

the labor of my sleepless night while i gather more motivation to write the second chapter of madame neuvillette

also i am so very tempted to start writing for other fandoms but this blog is enough for now tbh

Paradis! A World without Titans - Character infos 🏫

Here’s a summary of the 104th Squad within my AOT Modern AU, hope you enjoy. (Spoiler free for my friend)

~

Eren Jaeger (15) - A teen boy who’s hot tempered but meaningful towards people he cares for. He lives a normal life from home to school, but he always seeks the thrill of adventure. But he won’t unless his friends are dragged along for the ride.

Mikasa Ackerman (15) - She’s strong as an ox, best student during gym classes, yet doesn’t know how to open up emotions to others. Mikasa’s been friends with Eren since they met as kids, and I think she’s starting to grow feelings for him.

Armin Arlert (15) - The childhood best friend of Eren before Mikasa. Very smart and is relied on by everyone at school. His parents are off working in another country so he’s currently living with his grandpa. A book nerd with no shame.

Jean Kirstein (15) - Has a temper like Eren yet he despises him most of the time. He sometimes comes off as an arrogant jerk but deep down cares for people. The captain of the school’s soccer team. Currently dating his old friend, Marco.

Marco Bodt (16) - An angel personified. This freckled boy is always kind and thoughtful and basically the voice of reason within his friend group. He has a part time job at the local library down town. Currently dating his old friend, Jean.

Connie Springer (15) - Even though he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, he’s fun to be around and can often be a prankster. Spends most of his free time playing video games, which results in him sleeping halfway through his classes.

Sasha Braus (16) - This fun loving girl comes from a country background; her family moved to the town a generation ago. She likes food a bit too much, whenever people see her, she always has some snack or meal in her hands. Hangs out with Connie.

Christa Lenz (15) - She comes across to most people as ‘the star pupil of the school’ with her well-mannered behaviour, but she’s really not the pure image they all believe. She’s in charge of the school dance club. Currently dating Ymir.

Ymir (17) - Not much is known about this sly, sarcastic girl, hence why she barely has people to hang out with (except Christa). She does often show a caring side, but she quickly brushes it off with more sarcasm. Currently dating Christa.

Reiner Braun (17) - The ‘big brother’ type of guy and aces at any physical activity, in and out of school. Strengths are soccer and giving advice to friends, his weakness? Dogs. Mainly the big ones. Childhood friends with Bertholdt.

Annie Leonhart (16) - Just like Mikasa, she’s a very skilful and athletic girl, but is a lot more shy and quiet so prefers spending time on her own. Although talks to Reiner and Bertholdt occasionally, only because she knows them more.

Bertholdt Hoover (16) - Unlike Reiner who’s an extrovert, Bertholdt is an introvert. Spends most of this time reading at home or talking with animals outside in the school gardens. Childhood friends with Reiner and has a secret crush on Annie.

Memories of an Angel’s Past

Summary: Christmas used to be an exciting time for Macy Graywhinder, now those days were nothing but a far-off memory; she couldn’t look at the holidays without feeling gloomy and depressed. But that didn't mean she was going to spend it sulking on her own, not when her friends are enjoying the holidays themselves.

Or after breaking free of her prison Macy struggles to prosses the truth and suffers a mental breakdown while watching a movie. However, an unlikely duo is there to take care of her.

Minor trigger warning for mental breakdowns and panic attacks; along with minor depictions of violence it's nothing too graphic I think but viewer discursion is advised.

(Emily Jones Paranormal Investigator Extraordinaire AU)

Auther Notes: This is an AU I've been wanting to write about for a long time, and I mean a long long time. Emily Jones Paranormal Investigation Extraordinaire is a YouTube Channel concept that have been circulating in my mind for years it wasn't until 2021 that I finally finalized the idea however it heavily relays on artwork and well, my art game wasn't even close to being ready to create the channel at the time also moving during that time and not having a good enough recording set up didn't help either but now I think I'm ready to start fully plaining it out. So don't expect too many lore heavy fanfictions since I want to create the story in its original intention so expect a lot of art and hopefully animation one day. Sighs hopefully one day.

Alright time for the context, I'm sure most already know what Harmony and Horror is and who Macy is, and yes in this AU somewhere in the timeline Macy is freed and is able to think for herself again. You'll see what I mean once we get into the story, as for her friend I recently got introduced to the Morgue Files by David Near and oh boy once I get some experience under my belt expect a Morgue Files video and arc on her channel. David's versions of Jeff the Killer, Homicidal Liu/Sully, and even Ticci Toby are soo good and I didn't even grow up with these characters. Never really went through a creepypasta phase as a kid but man the Morgue files is so good you've got to check it out. Also give me your theories and opinions on this AU because your encouragements will give me the courage and motivation to make it happen with that said on with the story.

Christmas used to be an exciting time for Macy Graywhinder, the smell of gingerbread wafting through the kitchen; her parents dancing to holiday music on the radio while she and her brother played; Ava’s laughter as she reached for the hanging toys in her bouncer seat, Banzo barking and running around as he ripped open the wrapping paper containing a squeaky toy her dad brought and or made. Her uncle Arthur coming over, bringing gifts to put under the tree in a Santa sack; watching her dad work on toys for the H&A Harmony toy drive as if he himself was Santa. In fact, he even dressed up as Sant Nick one year. The laughs and cheers during Christmas dinner, staying up late hoping to see Santa and his reindeer only to fall asleep and reawaken in the morning to see multicolored gifts under the tree and excitedly rush back upstairs to wake up her parents and older brother.

Now those days were nothing but a far-off memory; Macy couldn’t look at the holidays without feeling gloomy and depressed. What she wouldn’t give to enjoy one more night with her family before it all went wrong, but even then she knew it wouldn’t be the same. After being released from her plastic prison and her demonic father’s control, she discovered the truth surrounding the family massacre pretty quickly, and let’s just say she wished she hadn’t.

Macy would be lying if she said she wasn’t struggling to process the information contained in those VHS tapes. The contents made her skin crawl, but that wasn’t the only thing that made her sick to her stomach. The fact that Martin might not be her actual father, and it broke her heart in more ways than one.

The young angel knew her father was a horrible person, but it never used to be this way. Her father used to care so, so much; he wanted nothing more than to have kids with her mother, Gloria, and they did: three children who loved them unconditionally. However, it seemed to come at a price, the price being Martin’s infidelity and Gloria likely going behind her husband’s back and having kids with their uncle and tried to pass them off as their miracle children.

Macy didn’t know if this was the whole story or if it was all lies fabricated by the devil her parental figure made a deal with. However, the young girl didn’t have the stomach to get the truth from its source. Despite her mother’s ghost currently residing in S.P.I.E Headquarters and has offered to tell her the truth, she declined. Macy wasn’t ready, and the truth is she was scared. She already blamed her parents for her and her sibling’s fate along with Banzo and Arthur’s death and possession. To learn her mother might’ve had an affair with her uncle just wasn’t something she could mentally handle right now.

Yeah, Macy was going through it; the innocent child who loved to sing and dance was gone, and in her place was a girl with a hardened heart and partial cursed angel status. But that didn’t mean she wouldn’t at least try to enjoy the holidays; after all, there was someone else who was trying to reclaim part of his stolen childhood too.

Liu Mason was someone Macy recently became acquainted with; he was a young man in his early twenties. He had short brown hair, wore black rimmed glasses, and an ugly Christmas sweater Dakota’s friend Mabel knit for him. It was white with little gingerbread men, green trees, and other details that you’d see on holiday knit sweaters.

From his kind eyes and gentle smile, you’d assume he was as normal as can be. Certainly, one of the more normal squad members in Emily’s team, but Liu himself had a dark past, a past the gang was still trying to unravel.

The youngest Mason sibling suffered from dissociative identity disorder, which was undiagnosed for most of his life until two months ago at his first therapy session with Dr. Amy Jones, Emily’s older sister. Since then, he has been working with her to understand his trauma and create a better system between himself and his alters, one that wouldn’t lead to their self-destruction. While Liu was theorized to be less dangerous compared to his brother. The last couple of years have been a tremendous blur thanks to his mind repressing the traumatic memories and his alter Sully fronting for longer periods of time. But even he was trying to work towards a better future, and we mean heavy emphasis on trying.

But today was a festive one at S.P.I.E Headquarters. The Superior Paranormal Investigators Extraordinaire were tasked with decorating the building to prepare for Christmas. Emily was currently decorating the Christmas Tree with Spencer, Dakota, Liu’s older brother Jeffrey, and Toby; all of which were apart of Emily’s team in one way or another. Meanwhile Macy was dragging her friend down the hall so they could watch a movie. It was Liu’s idea; he figured watching an old childhood animated film could lift Macy’s spirits and take her mind off her missing family members and she agreed.

Liu popped the cassette tape into the player and sat down, clutching his stuffed rabbit, Sully, named after his deceased pet bunny, whose death became the primary trigger for his alter’s creation. Neither knew if his primary protector named himself after the stuffed toy, the rabbit, or was a representation of the anger Liu felt at seeing his beloved pet’s dead body along with being too young to process said emotions. However, considering there were three Sully’s in the Mason household, they had to be careful to specify whenever referring to the alter, the rabbit, or the stuffed toy. Which, thankfully, hasn’t given them any trouble so far.

The two sat around a bowl of popcorn as Macy cuddled with her Singing Sofia Marionette doll, the toy that hid the remains of her body and soul after Martin killed her and still houses a piece of her soul, which allows her to give the doll partial control by tapping into the darkness within it or full control by possessing it. Which comes in handy depending on the situation. However, Macy didn’t want to think about that as she and her friend focused on the TV and happily munched on the popcorn.

Thirty minutes into the special, Liu ended up falling asleep, to which the angel covered him with a blanket and continued watching the movie while making sure he didn’t roll off the couch. If Macy was being honest with herself, she was having a great time; somehow, reliving positive things from her childhood healed her in a way; she really did need this. She swayed in her seat when a dainty tone came on and soon froze when she realized it was the song “My Two Front Teeth.” She tried to focus on the character singing, but memories from a horrific recurring nightmare invaded her mind. The dream made it seem she and her family were in an old cartoon, but she didn’t care; they were a family again. The first few days leading up to Christmas were filled with joy and warmth, but one by one they began to go missing until she was the last one left.

She closed her eyes shut as she recalled the pain she felt, her jaw being ripped open, her little sister being dead in a present, and worst of all, her waking up screaming and thrashing around on an operating table. she still didn’t know why she was bound there nor how she got there. Macy found herself unable to breathe as she attempted to choke back sobs, but she was trapped in her memories and soon forgot where she was as she cried.

Sometimes, she wondered what life would’ve been like if she was never born. would Martin have thought twice before selling his soul and killing all those poor innocent people or would it only minimize the damage? At least her, Banzo, Thomas, and Ava would’ve been spared. Hopefully Uncle Arthur and Gloria would’ve been too. No matter how many deep breaths she took she couldn’t calm down the slew of intrusive thoughts.

However, it was those cries that ended up waking Liu as he rubbed his eyes with a sigh and put on a white bracelet. He walked around the crying girl and grabbed a bucket in case she became so overwhelmed to the point of vomiting. Placing the bucket in reach, he positioned himself behind the angel and wrapped his arms loosely but gently around her.

“Shhhhh, shhhhh.” He shushed robbing her back and rocking her back and forth, “Don’t cry; I’m here. wherever you think you are you’re not there anymore.”

Macy’s cries died down a smidge as she looked at her friend with tearful eyes. Feelings of guilt mixing with her pain knowing she woke him up. “L-Liu?”

The man shook his head, showcasing the bracelet with the name Sully spelled out in beads. “I’ve been watching you for a while.” He spoke in a raspy tone almost like he was possessed by a demon, “Liu didn’t notice, but I’ve been in the forefront of his mind, aware enough to listen. I was planning to co-front and watch along with you but the movie you chose was so childish I couldn’t be bothered so I distanced myself a bit until he fell asleep.

“I-Is he?”

Sully shook his head, knowing exactly what Macy was referring to. “No, Liu’s still sleeping. I made sure not wake him when I fronted, I figured it’d be easier this way.”

Macy nodded at that information. to be fair she didn’t know much about DID, she got a minor crash course from Amy when her and Liu began getting to know each and even more reading material when she decided to become his guardian angel, but she’s been so busy trying to hunt down the remaining members of her family and her father she hasn’t had time to dive deeper. Plus keeping Sully and the rest of the system in lane was a full-time job in itself. The Last thing Liu needed was more emotional damage, she had a lot to learn, and Sully wasn’t exactly an expert in this field either he was a protector not a psychologist. As much as he hated relying on others, he’ll leave that level of research to Dr. Willson and Amy.

However, there were more pressing matters at hand as he tried to comfort the angel who was still crying in his arms, “Why does it have to be me?” He wondered with a scowl; Sully wasn’t very good at comforting people, let alone Liu and the other alters. Unlike the primary host, who wore his heart on his sleeve, Sully didn’t and hated being babied; it reminded him too much of their overbearing mother and how her constant worrying and mollycoddling disrupted Liu and Jeffery’s emotional development, among other things. The protector wasn’t one for vulnerability; being vulnerable showcases weakness, and Sully wasn’t weak, unlike Liu. Well, more like he wasn’t as weak as Liu. However, Macy opened up to him during their first proper conversation and told him a lot about her family history; it only seems right to continue being that shoulder to cry on.

“What’s troubling you, Macy? it’s not like you to get this worked up. What happened?”

“Sully? What’s going on? is that Macy I hear crying?” Liu questioned in his mind, great just what he needed at a time like this, “Ship, I fall asleep for thirty minutes and this happens!”

“Shut up, Liu.” His alter growled, making Macy jump in his arms, “We both know your panicking will only make this worse. Just stay out of this; I’ll take care of her.”

“A-Are you sure? We both know you’re not one for comforting people.”

“Don’t you think I know that?!” He yelled this time in his mind; not all their conversations needed to be heard. “Look Macy has opened up to me about her past before and I have a feeling she’ll do it again, if she talks to you first, she’ll withhold information and dodge the topics. We…” He paused with a sigh, “Speak from experience, just let me handle this. You can talk to her once she’s calmed down.”

Liu went quiet for a few moments until Sully heard him sigh, going deeper into his headspace to give the two some privacy. However, he was still lurking in case they needed to tag team this. Macy’s trauma went deeper than theirs, and while they had a decent understanding of what the young girl went through and the aftermath of it, They weren’t professionals despite being victims of various traumas; sad to say, they couldn’t relate to being skinned and stuffed into a tiny toy brought to life by a satanist in a demonic retiral. Thankfully, that’s one trauma they didn’t have but if push comes to shove and this situation becomes too big for even them Emily was down the hall, and they had Amy on speed dial for situations like these.

“Sorry about that; you know how Liu can get. He has a habit of worrying when those he cares for are hurting; he gets that from our mother.” Sully spoke with what he hoped was a reassuring smile.

Macy giggled a little bit; even though her cheeks were wet with tears, her tiny smile put both men at ease as Sully made relaxing motions on her cheek with his thumb.

“Macy, I know you’re not a fan of worrying us with problems regarding your family. But I’ve never seen you break down like that over a movie before. Please tell me what’s wrong.”

Macy sniffled, trying to get her breathing under control. “I don’t w-want to-to talk a-a-about it.”

“You must.” He insisted, as much as he hated being forceful with her, Amy used this tactic a few times during the sessions. Liu needed a push to confront a particularly painful memory that he was purposefully avoiding. Sully wasn’t going to beat around the bush Macy was bottling her feelings up and it was negatively impacting her mental health. He needed to know what was troubling her so he could help. But if she didn’t want to talk to him, he’d make her talk to Amy. He didn’t know how angel hierarchy worked these days. But if she felt more comfortable talking to a fellow cursed angel, so be it.

“Macy, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to tell you’re bottling your feelings up. I understand your life ended in tragedy and you’re discovering things about yourself that are upsetting to you, but you don’t need to hide your pain behind a brave face. Facing this burden alone is only going to lead to bigger consequences in the future; look at me, Liu, and Jeff. We underestimated how important mental health truly is and refused the ones who could’ve helped us improve it; we were so insistent that we didn’t need anyone that it cost us everything. Jeffery gave in to his inner demons and fell into the depths of insanity; he went on a killing spree; he killed our parents and so many innocent people. As for me and Liu…” Sully paused, trying to put his thoughts into words so Macy wouldn’t use them to change the subject. “Let’s just say our hands aren’t clean either. Look, what I’m trying to say is, we’ve all got mental demons we’re fighting and things we wished we either did differently or ended differently. Liu and I aren’t made of glass; we may be facing our own problems, but we’re facing them together and with guidance. Whether you like it or not, you’re a part of that support system; we can’t dump all our problems onto you if you won’t be open about your own. And if you won’t talk to me, I’m getting Amy; perhaps speaking to a fellow angel will make you feel more comfortable.”

Sully pulled apart from his angel and went to the door to show he was serious; he slipped into the hallway and lingered. He wanted to give her at least a chance to decide for herself.

“Sully, wait.” She spoke, holding her hand out,

A moment later he popped his head in, “Yes.”

Macy stood up, looking towards the ground; at this point, she was able to regain her composure, but she still felt she could burst into tears again in a moment's notice. But she trusted Liu, and Sully; she trusted Amy too but just wasn’t ready to truly open up to her fellow angel yet. Taking a deep breath, she spoke her mind.

“I had a nightmare.”

Sully’s face softened, while he had a feeling that wasn’t the whole reason. It was a start, “Come here.” He said, pulling Macy into a hug and directing her back to the couch. He wrapped a blanket around her and replaced Singing Sofia with his stuffed rabbit, thinking something softer would be a better stress reliever. Once satisfied with Macy’s placement, he sat next to her, slinging his arm around the back of the sofa as an open invitation to cuddle if she needed it. Macy smiled; she knew Sully wasn’t one for physical affection and hated it when people touched him without him consenting to it or being the one to initiate it. She was one of the only exceptions to that rule, and it made her feel special. Well, she was special, being his angel and all, but that was beside the point.

Macy knew Sully wasn’t a bad person; he was just like her—broken. He was angry at the world and the ones who wronged him and Liu, and what’s worse is he never learned how to process these emotions in a healthy manner nor got proper treatment until recently. She didn’t blame him for being so misunderstood, but under all that hatred and rage was still a person who deserved as much love and respect as anyone else.

“So, start at the beginning. what was your nightmare about?”

Macy didn’t need to think too hard on it; she remembered it clear as day. “It was Christmas time, about five days before it. I was with my family again in a log cabin. But Thomas and I were Sofia and Henry in my dream, in fact aside from Uncle Arthur none of us looked the same as we did before. But I didn’t care I was just so happy; Arthur gave me a piece of paper and I wrote my Christmas list to Santa while singing “My Two Front Teeth. And when I was done Dad took it to the mailbox outside.”

“That song.” Sully realized he briefly heard it playing on the TV shortly before Macy broke down, “So, that’s what happened; that song must’ve been the trigger.”

“Please continue, Macy.”

The girl nodded, taking another deep breath. “I had diner with my family shortly after and ended up eating way too much. I got a stomachache shortly after and Mom told me to sleep it off and I did. I remember seeing snowmen and a scary demon in my dream too, the next morning dad wasn’t there, and I saw Mom standing in the hallway, but she didn’t say anything to me, so I told her I was going to see Uncle Arthur and left her be. Arthur told us Dad wasn’t feeling well so we made some gingerbread cookies to give to him later. One of them was burnt, in fact I think it was meant to represent Mom who was the next to go missing. I ate too much again and went to bed with another stomachache. But somehow even as I slept, I could tell there was someone there watching me, at first, I thought it was Mom, but it wasn’t. It was a demon impersonating her Sully.”

The alter pulled Macy into his embrace as she blinked back tears. “The next morning Thomas and I couldn’t find Uncle Aruther, so we split up to search for him, we came up empty handed and went to bed. Finally on Christmas Eve, I heard Ava crying and went looking for her. I followed her cries into a dark room and saw my mom, but I soon realized it wasn’t her. The door closed behind me, and I became locked in and saw my family had become monsters; they surrounded me. I was trapped, I couldn’t move due to a paralyzing fear and…” Tears began to fill Macy’s eyes as she struggled to relay the last of her nightmare. “And they captured me, they…they…they tortured me, they broke my jaw and ripped my mouth open, so that way I…I can eat more of my mother’s cooking.” She fully broke down again, throwing herself into the younger man’s body and Sully held her tight, rubbing her back as he spoke comforting words to her.

He dreaded the question he was about to ask, but curiosity was eating away at him: “If you don’t mind me asking, what happened to your sister?”

Macy looked at him with teary eyes, and the answer she gave him broke his and Liu’s hearts: “She was dead; in fact, I think she’s been dead for days. Her body was wrapped up in a box Dad wanted me to have for Christmas. Arthur gave it to me the morning we made gingerbread cookies, and I had no idea she was even missing.”

Sully had never wanted to strangle anyone more than Martin Graywhinder. It almost rivaled his hatred for Jeffery and their parents, but even they weren’t that bad. Martin killed, skinned, and weaponized his kids just to make the perfect toy and because he believed Gloria was cheating on him; he made a deal with the devil that backfired and now was forced to live the rest of his days as a servant to Satan. Sure, Jeff was a danger to everyone, including himself, and their father was somewhat neglectful and didn’t take their cries for help seriously until Jeff nearly lost his life. By then it was already too late, and to Sully, it served their parents right, even if Liu would fight tooth and nail on that opinion. But Martin was a monster by every definition: he kidnapped children and forced them to undergo the same terrifying transformation as the rest of his family. And is still at large to this day.

“Macy, I promise Liu and I will do everything we can to help you stop your father and release you all from this pain. I swear once I get my hands on him, I’ll make him wish he never destroyed your lives for his unachievable goal that is a promise.”

“You—you don’t need to do that.” Macy insisted, while she was touched that her friends would go above and beyond to help her. This was still her battle to fight; Emily and her friends had already dived too deep, and it nearly cost them their lives. She couldn’t risk anyone else falling victim to her dad’s madness just to set the remainder of her family free.

“You’re right, we don’t need to, but we will. Macy, you wanted to know me and Liu because you related to us; we’ve been through experiences we wouldn’t wish on anyone. Martin’s goal consumed him, and you all had to suffer for it. If you ask me, he didn’t deserve you; even if Arthur is your real father, he certainly cared a hell of a lot more about Thomas, Ava, you, and Gloria than her own husband did. And if that’s not what a father is, I don’t know what is; he’s certainly better than ours.”

Macy couldn’t keep the smile off her face; she really didn’t know what to say, so Sully kept talking.

“We’re a team now, Mace. where you go, we will follow. Because…because.” Sully closed his eyes, feeling Liu wanting to switch and complied,

“Because you’re not alone anymore; you’re one of us now, Macy, and I couldn’t have asked for a better emotional support buddy. You’ve become a sister to me, and I know that sounds weird since you’re our angel and all, but you’ve done so much for us, and I’m forever grateful that I got to meet you. I never want you feeling like a burden if you need to talk about your problems with me or another one of my alters. According to Sully, they speak quite highly of you and want to help too. And when the time comes, and you want to talk to Gloria about everything, I’ll be right next to you holding your hand.” He giggled, scratching his head, “If you want me to, that is.”

Macy was at a loss for words; Liu was truly a sweetheart. it was hard to believe he was related to a psychopathic killer. But that was beside the point, what mattered was she was loved, wanted, cared for, and had some of the greatest friends in the world. For a time, it seemed like she’d never be able to break through the darkness that trapped and warped her sense of reality. She’d almost forgotten what her life was like before the massacre and who she used to be, if it wasn’t for Emily looking into the case and meeting Glenda on that fateful evening. Macy never would’ve returned to her senses to warn him about the danger the angel and her friends were in when they went to Harmony Arcadia for more clues. The aftermath leading the former cursed child regaining her freewill and becoming an angel. She never would’ve regained her humanity if it wasn’t for them.

“Liu, thank you, and you too, Sully. I really appreciate you being here.”

Liu smiled, happy he and his alter were able to bring the young angel’s smile back. “Anything, for you, Macy. Is there anything else we can do? do you want to talk to the others about this?”

The ginger shook her head, “No, I’m not ready to speak to them about this yet. But Liu, can-can I just stay here and cry for a little longer?”

“Of course, Macy You don’t need permission to cry. We’re always here when you need us; just let me know if you start feeling sick, okay?”

Macy nodded and cuddled into her friend and started crying again. She and Liu stayed there for hours until she cried herself to sleep. Liu gently lifted her off his chest and carried her to the cot Emily slept on when she needed to stay the night. Bon already made the bed with fresh blankets, pillows, and a few plushies. Liu smiled as he laid her down; he walked back to the couch to grab Sully the Rabbit, Singing Sofa, and tucked himself in alongside her. Sleep took its hold pretty quickly, and Liu was once again sound asleep, cuddled up to a cursed plastic marionette puppet, a worn but loved stuffed rabbit, and a very kind, loving, and special guardian angel. He smiled, wondering what more could he ask for.

Gloria Graywhinder cried hearing about the torment Macy was going through; she tried to talk some sense into Martin before things got further out of hand. But he pushed her away; it seems that’s all that’s been happening lately. For years she blamed her husband for the deaths of the kids, Banzo and Arthur, but in the end it truly was her fault. She only wanted to see Martin happy; she too wanted kids just as much as he did, but she never should’ve gone behind his back about this; there were other ways to solve their problem; she didn’t need to seek Arthur’s help. At the time she didn’t see it as an affair but suragency; Arthur was the one who suggested it. They didn’t even have sex; the sperm was delivered through different means. Or… at least that’s how she remembered it going. But that wasn’t an excuse; she still lied and hid the truth; she was a fool for thinking Martin would automatically be okay with this. They should have talked it out beforehand; maybe they could have come to an agreement. She should have known something was wrong when he was taken into the station on account of child abuse. He was hurting Thomas; he killed their dog and his brother for goodness sake. Why didn’t she notice something was off sooner? There must be a way to fix this; she couldn’t let them suffer in silence anymore.

“You have to tell her, Gloria.” Emily stated sternly, “You can’t keep avoiding this anymore; Macy needs to know. I know it’ll be hard, and I know you want her to come to you. But at this point you’re prolonging the inevitable. If she doesn’t get the truth from you, she’ll get it from a VHS tape, and who knows how she’ll react to that? It’s either get it from the source or from a third-hand account. pick your poison Gloria!” She snapped when her phone binged, “Give me a moment.”

Emily dug her phone out of her coat and saw Amy replied to her text.

“Hey, Amy, I don’t know when you’ll get this but Macy’s having a mental breakdown. Sully’s taking care of her, but can you come over?”

Sent 12:45

“Hey, sorry, I just got your text. I was busy with another patient; how’s Macy?”

Sent 2:03

“She cried herself to sleep ten minutes ago; Liu’s asleep with her, but her mental health is getting worse. She doesn’t want to open up to us, but carrying all this inside isn’t healthy. I don’t know what to do, Amy, but she needs help.”

Sent 2:05

“First of all, we can’t force her to open up when she’s not ready to. Many trauma victims are the same; the fact she’s comfortable enough to open up to Sully of all people shows a deep level of trust. All we can do for now is keep an eye on her; however, I’ll keep my schedule open in case an emergency session is needed. I’ll be there in thirty minutes.”

Sent 2:10

Emily sighed. “I sure hope you’re right.” She texted and slipped her phone back into her pocket, returning her focus to the distraught mother who was peeking into the room, where Liu and Macy still slept. “Look, Gloria, I know you thought you were doing the right thing; I get it; I really do. However, you can’t hide the truth from them forever. Sooner or later, they will find out, and if they’re still cursed when they do, it could lead to unforeseen consequences. You don’t need to tell Macy now, or in the days leading up to Christmas. But promise me you’ll tell her before the year ends so we can start healing her from the aftermath. Just please think about it.” Emily pleaded unable to stand by when a trauma victim was hurting.

Gloria stayed silent as she watched her daughter sleep somewhat soundly. Emily was right, of course she was. She must’ve delt with this a thousand times before she retired after becoming a Cursed Heartless Angel. She turned to her and nodded, “Okay, Emily if she doesn’t come to me by the end of the holiday season. Then I’ll come to her.”

Emily nodded as well, satisfied with the ghost’s answer as her cyborg sidekick entered the hall. “Emily, I hope I’m not interrupting anything, but we need some help in the kitchen. Spencer and Jonhson are having some trouble wrangling the turkey for dinner.”

The cursed angel raised a confused eyebrow. “What’s wrong with the turkey?”

“It’s a little ha, undercooked.” She chuckled, rubbing the back of her head, “Spencer accidentally spawned a real one.”

“Oh, say no more. Come on, Gloria, you can help too.” She ushered, walking alongside Cyborg Noodle,

Gloria spared one last glance at the figures of her sleeping daughter and assigned human. She knew she had to tell Macy the truth eventually; it’ll hurt, and it may split them apart forever, but it needed to be done. She just hoped when the talk does happen, she’ll continue to have the support of Liu and his system, Emily and her friends, Glenda and her family, and Cyn and the rest of the Actor Drones. As long as Macy has a support group to fall back on, then Gloria would be happy. This was the wish of a sorrowful, foolish, and ignorant mother, a wish she prayed more than anything would come true.

Yes, I did some research on DID for the terms and I believe I used them right along with the depiction of it however I'm not a system and I still have a lot to learn when it comes to the condision. Please let me know if I got anything wrong. Liu and Sully are still pretty underdeveloped since Jeff was the primary focus in episode two. We'll just have to wait until Liu's episode for us to hopefully see the inner workings of his system and his mental state. Whether he becomes a sort of anti-hero who tries to help or if him and Sully will make the same mistakes and fellow in Jeff's footsteps regardless, I have my own head canons as to where Liu has been for Emily's AU, but you'll have to wait for that. (Might be a good long while actually.)

Also, yes H&H's Christmas Special My Two Front Teeth was all a dream Macy had, Battinton confirmed it in a community post. I don't know what compelled me to pair these two up together maybe it's because Liu and Macy have suffered a lot in their lives also Macy needed someone to watch over, but just know I have no intention to ship these two for obvious reasons. The reasons being age gap and the fact one of them is dead (Even though this wouldn't be the first time I've shipped an angel with a human, but I digress.) For this month only I'm taking requests and opening my ask box for anyone who wants to submit fic ideas you want to see in this au. Granted I won't be doing anything that spoils any major lure bits but I'm sure I can make a couple of loopholes and exceptions. So don't be afraid to ask. Anyway it's late this chapter took me a good few days I'll see you all next time.

roudise week day 5 yay!! i'm in my element with a fic!! enjoy "right by your side" (tw//panic attack)

also on ao3 :)

Gene was over at Courtney’s working on a song. Tina was soon to be heading over to Fro-Yo-Momma with Jimmy Jr. And Louise doesn’t want to spend her Saturday working in the restaurant without them. She'd have no excuse to goof off and not do her work, and she really doesn't want to do her work.

So she calls up Rudy to ask him if he's free to hang out. Much to Louise’s relief, he is, and he suggests the two go to Wonder Wharf. Louise agrees- she hadn’t been since she saved it from Grover Fischoeder and his arson attempt and then played with the Itty Bitty Ditty Committee at the Bandshell, and that was a month ago. And according to some of her friends, some of the games at Wonder Wharf have new prizes, so of course that makes Louise want to go even more.

She tells her parents that Rudy had been the one to call her and that he’d invited her to hang out at the Wharf. Bob sees through her small lie and sees it as the excuse that it is to not work at the restaurant, but he knows the day will be slow and lets her go, him and Linda soon sending her off with a single ten dollar bill.

She walks down the street and waits by the Wonder Wharf’s entrance for Rudy, who appears a few minutes later.

“Hey, Louise!” he greets.

“Hey, Rudes!” she happily greets back, “Haven't seen you in a few days. How’ve you been?”

“Pretty good, pretty good. You?”

“I’m just excited to play some games and win some prizes. I think my stuffed animal collection could always be expanded, y’know?”

Rudy chuckles. “I get that. Let’s go, then!”

The two head into Wonder Wharf together, finding it to be pretty empty. As hot a summer day as it is, it makes sense to them as to why not many people would be out, but an emptier park means less lines for rides and games!

“Alright, so what's our game plan?” Rudy asks.

“I’m thinking a few games first, since they're right here, then we could head over to the good ol’ Scramble Pan.”

“Ah, yes. Sounds good.”

The two spend a good chunk of time playing games, because much to Louise’s delight, Rudy had brought more than ten dollars and didn’t hesitate to share his money with her.

Then they walk deeper into the park, the Scramble Pan their next destination. However, the route they take has them stumble upon the Mole Hill.

Louise begins to slow down, eventually ceasing her walking entirely. Rudy notices right away.

“Hey, Louise, you okay?” he asks, rushing to her side. She doesn't answer, and Rudy follows her line of vision to see she’s staring directly at the Mole Hill. “Uh, is-”

He stops as he notices Louise’s breath start to become heavy.

“Louise? Louise, talk to me..”

Her breathing only becoming heavier, beginning to feel hot, Louise looks at Rudy, panic evident in her eyes. “I don’t- I don’t know what's happening... I-I can’t breathe...”

“Louise-”

“I... I-I feel dizzy-”

“Okay, okay, c'mon..” Rudy takes her hand and leads her to a nearby wall, which she slides down against, utterly terrified at this sudden heavy breathing, sweating, and dizziness.

Rudy immediately takes a seat next to her. “Rudy, what-what’s happening to me? I’m- I’m...”

“Shh, it's okay, trust me, you're okay,” Rudy says. “Just stay calm. Take slow, deep breaths. And try to count to five on each in and out.”

Louise tries. “I can’t, i-it’s not working! I’m- I’m scared-”

Rudy reaches into his pocket and takes out his inhaler, handing it to her. “Well, then this should help really well.”

Wrapping her fingers around it, stilling her shaking hands, Louise looks Rudy in the eyes, who gives her a comforting look. She brings the inhaler up to her mouth, and uses it a couple times until her breathing is back to normal. Relaxing, she takes a few deep breaths of her own until she’s totally calm again while she tries to comprehend what had just happened.

“You feeling better now?” Rudy asks her.

“Rudy, what was that?!”

“A panic attack. I, uh, take it this was your first one...”

“But why would I have a panic attack?! They don’t just come up out of nowhere after I haven't had them or had any reason to have them in my entire life!”

“Well, some do. But maybe it wasn't out of nowhere. You were staring at the Mole Hill. And I-I know what you told me happened in there..."

“B-But I’ve been okay! That happened a month ago! And I-I haven't been to the Wharf since!”

“Is that cause you didn't have the time or because you were purposefully avoiding it?”

Louise stays silent. “Okay fine. Maybe you got me. I mean, I almost died in that Mole Hill, Rudy! I was held at spearpoint and then almost burned to death! Of course I didn't want to go anywhere near it!”

“That’s okay. Sometimes the smallest things that remind you of a really traumatizing event like what happened to you in the Mole Hill can trigger a panic attack- it’s totally natural and even expected. And it’s okay to have them, Louise, lots of people have them. I've had them, my dad's had them, and they get easier to deal with as time goes on. And if you do have another one again just remember the advice I gave you earlier, about your breathing. Now I’m not saying these are going to become frequent for you, and I know they’re scary, especially your first time having one. But I mean hey, you dealt with it really well! You calmed down pretty quickly. You were strong, like always. And you're okay now, yeah? That's all that matters!”

“Well, that’s just because I had you...”

Rudy smiles. “Yeah?”

Louise smiles back. “Yeah. Thanks, Rudes. I really appreciate it. I don't know what I would've done if it wasn't for you."

“Well, no problem. I’m your best friend, it's my job to be there for you.”

Louise stays smiling at him, but then it fades as she begins to speak again. “God, I hate it when people see me when I’m... vulnerable like this...”

“Awh, Louise, it’s okay! There's no reason for you to feel ashamed or anything!”

“There's not?”

“No! No matter what happens I'm always gonna be there for you. Being vulnerable is being human. No one will ever think any less of you, they’ll just help you get back on your feet.”

Louise smiles again. “Well... thanks.” She takes his hand and places his inhaler back in it. “Thanks for this too.”

“Anything. You feeling better now?”

“I am. But, um, could you walk me back home?”

“Of course.” Rudy stands, putting his inhaler back in his pocket. He extends a hand down to Louise, and, smiling, she takes it and he pulls her up. “And hey, if you ever have a panic attack again or anything... just know I'll always be right by your side.”

Without thinking, Louise hugs him. She's got herself the best best friend ever. “Thanks. Again.”

“Anytime..”

Louise then seems to realize what she’s doing, and releases the hug, blushing. She clears her throat and begins to say something, but sees Rudy’s holding back a laugh. “Alright, what’s so funny?”

“Aw, you just should've seen your reaction! You were so embarrassed!”

The blush on Louise’s face just gets deeper. Rudy then laughs, Louise unable to hold back a smile.

“Gosh, you should see your face too. You actually hugged me! You love me!”

“Shut up! I do not!" Louise answers, unable to help herself from joining in with Rudy’s laughter. God, he really is the best, isn't he? A couple minutes ago she was scared out of her mind having her first ever panic attack, and now here she is laughing alongside him. “And we don’t speak of this really mushy moment, okay?”

Rudy smiles, then mimics zipping his mouth shut. “My lips are sealed.”

As Louise and Rudy reach Bob’s Burgers, they find it empty except for Bob, Linda, and Tina. They enter, Louise sticking close to Rudy’s side like she had on the walk over. So close their hands are almost touching. And it definitely doesn't make Louise’s heart beat quicker than normal at all.

“Oh, hey, kids,” Bob greets, “You’re back earlier than I thought you’d be.”

“Well... something.. kind of.. happened...” Louise says. Her family looks at her, their faces painted with curiosity and worry. She herself looks at Rudy, silently asking him to be the one to tell them.

“She had a- a panic attack,” he says.

“What?!” Bob, Linda, and Tina exclaim in unison, rushing to Louise immediately.

“What happened??” Bob asks.

“We were on our way to the Scramble Pan, and we passed by the Mole Hill. Then she started hyperventilating.”

“Oh, Louise, my baby!” Linda exclaims, hugging her tightly. “Oh, baby, are you okay?!”

“Yeah, I am... um, thanks to him.” Louise answers, glancing over at Rudy.

Linda pulls the hug apart to look at him, who gives her a small smile.

“He, um, helped me through it,” Louise continues, “I was really scared. Cuz it was my first, um, panic attack. And I didn't know what on Earth was happening. But he knew what to do.”

“Oh, Rudy, honey, come here!” Linda says, bringing him into a hug. “Thank you so much for being there for my little girl.”

“It was no problem.” Rudy says.

“Seriously, thank you,” Bob says, “You've always been such a great friend to Louise.”

Linda lets go of him, and he turns to Louise, who’s smiling at him. He smiles back.

Louise is then taken into a brief but tight hug by Tina. “I’m so glad you're okay. I know just how scary a first panic attack can be and I’m- sorry I couldn't be there but Dad’s right. I’m really thankful for you, Rudy. I feel like I- owe you one."

“Well, again, it was no problem. You don't need to owe me anything,” Rudy says, “I’ve had panic attacks before so I know how scary they can be at first too.”

“And you sure you’re okay now, Louise?” Bob asks.

“Yes. I think all the fear’s passed.” Louise answers. “I mean, I don’t know if I’ll, um, have one again, but I remember what Rudy told me what to do in case I were to.”

“Rudy, you’re really the best,” Linda says.

He really is, Louise thinks. When she sees her family and Rudy look over at her, however, she realizes she had said it out loud. She feels her face get hot and lets out a small chuckle. “Hah, I mean-”

Rudy chuckles too. The two barely notice Bob, Linda, and Tina exchange looks and smiles. “Hey, it’s okay.” Rudy says.

Tina checks the time on the emergency phone. “Uh, I should be heading out... Louise, you sure you're okay? Cuz I can-”

“Yes! I am. Go on your date.” Louise says.

“Just wanted to make sure.”

“Yeah, stop caring about me so much!” she jokes.

Tina smiles, and gives her sister one last hug. “Alright. Love you. Bye everyone!”

Louise, Bob, Linda, and Rudy call goodbye back as Tina leaves the restaurant. “Louise, you can head up to the apartment if you want. No need to work today,” Bob says.

“You sure don't need help?” she asks.

“No. Today’s slow. Just go relax.”

“Great! Rudy, you coming with?”

“Of course!” he answers.

“Race you upstairs then!”

“No fair, you know I can’t run!” Smiling, the two run out of the restaurant together. Linda then turns to Bob with a smile of her own.

“Sweet pair they are,” she says.

Bob smiles back. “Yeah. They really are.”

You know those g5 concepts of a g4 remake? These ones?

I'm making my own fan continuity using them and the vague ideas that are illustrated through these concepts! Currently I'm calling it Dawn of Harmony (sooo original I know, that name's definitely been used somewhere before) but that could change, I have some ideas for it but it's going to take a LOT of workshoping. Some infodumping of my current concepts below, really just mane 6 info:

Pinkie Pie and Rainbowdash are childhood friends that met in their flight school as foals. Pinkie had a rough start in flying due to her smaller wings and Rainbow decided to coach her a bit, which is how she discovered their shared love for pranking and how much Pinkie could cheer a pony up, thus sparking a lifelong friendship.

Applejack keeps her country flair and still lives/works on a farm, and she's the only non-family friend of the lone Twilight Sparkle, an earth pony with a knack for science and inventing...but less of a knack for making friends. She and Applejack are childhood friends, but Applejack still wishes she could be closer to Twi and that her pal would spend more time with other ponies and less time at home, they used to hang out all the time but Twilight got more "busy" as she got older. Applejack and Rainbowdash are quite competitive with each other, and they often get into spats during AJ's free time.

Fluttershy is very much like her name implies...very shy, but she doesn't flutter because she's a unicorn! She uses her magic to heal animals and fix the environment around her, the woods around her cottage home are said to be the prettiest in all of Ponyville. She's incredibly shy with new ponies and struggles with confrontation, but she's actually quite the social butterfly with those she feels safer and more comfortable around. She's close to Applejack and the farm pony has TRIED to set her up to be friends with Twilight, but Twi seems to always just miss her.

Rarity is the fanciest unicorn in the entirety of Ponyville, a Canterlot born pony who moved to the more rural village in order to find herself and discover inspiration for her career as a fashion star. She even brought her younger sister along with her! Rarity is quite difficult to get along with at first, but those like Fluttershy know that if you can get past her blunt commentary and insistence to measure you to make you a complimentary outfit, you'll find a friend that will do everything she can to be there for you. If you mess with Rarity's friends, you get the horn. She also has a side hobby of gemstone collecting and loves to use the sparkling gems in her fashion as often as she can.
