[dead-but-nikolai]

Will: Nico, for the love of the gods, PLEASE stop terrorizing the new campers

Nico, taking a bite from his mcdonalds: What do you mean, I don't scare kids.

Also Nico, to his Cocoa Puffs: so when those kids get out of the dining pavilion, you guys jump out if hiding, okay?

[dark-side-blog3]

How would you rank the six Jojo leads from the OG continuity from worst to best to end up with?

I'm gonna take this as an add-on to the would you rather game from before, so the answers will be super self-indulgent, and yandere.

Short answer is I would prefer to end up with none of the yanderes, at least not the jojo's. But in terms of damage, I suppose Jonathan is the safest, and Giorno is the worst. It should be Jolyne because Stone Ocean is more dangerous, but Giorno skeeves me out more. Jolynes only so low because everyone around her would instakill me.

+++++++++++++++++

Jonathan is a milk toast of a man. He's unthreatening, because of his noble code. If I got isekai'd, the worst Johnathan could possibly do to me is just have me associated with him, because Dio would fuck me up just to mess with him. In which case, I'd either have to avoid Jonathan so hard Dio can't target me, or I'd have to glue myself to his side so he could protect me from Dio. Which would be what feeds into his tendencies, but they're not really dangerous, so I suppose I'll just have to suck it up.

Joseph is funny and charming, and in earlier parts, he's cunning and witty. He leans heavily into the bad boy heartbreaker persona, so the idea that he's going to be possessive of his partner wouldn't seem out of the ordinary. And all of these would make him the match if it weren't offset by the cheating. How Suzie didn't kill him, I don't know. Her patience is infinite. I, on the other hand, would kill us both. Until then, he wouldn't be too bad.

Jotaro and I would fight way too much. He only wants to talk about his interests, and I can't shut up about my interests, and there is zero overlap between the two. There are only so many times I can endure a Clint Eastwood marathon, and there are only so many minutes he'll let me talk about pinnipeds or linguistics. I couldn't care less about the actual crimes he commits, but the clash of interests would be what makes him the (second) most unbearable.

Josuke has never faced long-term interpersonal consequences to his actions, which means that he'll be genuinely surprised if I stay mad at him after a fight. He nearly beat Okuyasu to death and they're best friends. He punched a hole through his mom and never got in trouble. So why am I still mad at him a week after a verbal fight that didn't even get violent? The world will never know (I will tell him every day, he just doesn't want to hear it). The only reason I wouldn't try to piss him off too much, like saying I got isekai'd and I can't stay in Morioh, is because I've seen Angelo. I choose to not be a fucked up rock Josuke does shameful things with.

Giorno is fucking creepy if you don't hear his internal monologues; which if isekai'd, I wouldn't be able to. I'm with Abbacchio on this, I don't trust this motherfucker. He just stares as people get injured in front of him, and waits until the last possible second to help them, and he's so obviously scheming behind those eyes. I would avoid him like the plague, even if I somehow got involved with the mafia. He's just so... Weird. And calculating. Giorno isn't the only smart jojo, but he is the most intimidating for his intelligence. The vibes are just so rancid on him... I'm throwing myself into the Tiber before I enter this narrative.

Jolyne is a puzzle. I'm not sure what I'd do if I got isekai'd... Do I avoid her and avoid the ire of Anasui, or get my ass beat by the enemy stand users literally everywhere? Not to mention the regular people who just happen to be in a supermax, who will probably prey on me for being an easy target. I'd be totally lost in terms of what to do. At least with the others, there's a hope of escape, or playing my cards right to utilize them. But I don't think there is a good strategy with Jolyne except carefully slotting myself in the toxic friendzone, and hoping for the best. At least it shouldn't be impossible to do.

[theamazingmaddyas]

I'm not sure how much the Starkid and Percy Jackson fandom intersect, but I was thinking about the different Starkid/TCB musicals, and which songs could alternatively be used to describe Riordanverse characters, and decided to share. This will probably end up being a part 1, since I'll probably end up thinking of more the second I post this, but maybe not. Anyways, here's my first list (and descriptions):

Not Your Seed (The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals) - Luke Castellan

This was the first one I thought of, and reason for this post. Alice is literally singing about how she's been possessed and is no longer her father's kid, and how he'd never noticed her.

Also the lines:Why does it hurt to love you, why am I in pain? Why does it hurt to know you, you let me down again. If I turned my insides out, would you even know that I was there. Why does it hurt to love you? Why does it hurt to love? Is literally Luke's motive in the series, he's resentful of his father, and it hurts to care for him. Also, And if you wonder what led your daughter astray? Well, daddy wasn't here to stay. Do I need to say more?

CaliforMIA (Black Friday) - Luke Castellan, Thalia Grace, and Annabeth Chase

Thalia: Dearest Gods,

It's been real, real bad. I'd say you tried your best, but I'm not a liar

Luke: It's L I E R, Thal

Thalia: We get it, Luke, you're a good speller

We're taking Annabeth as far away as we can get. I'd give you an address, but I don't want to. Don't write, don't IM, don't ask.

Sincerily,

Thalia

That's all I have to say. Also, that Beryl is, in fact, a bitch, an alcoholic, a meloncholic that Thalia kept afloat.

Black Friday (Black Friday) - Bianca di Angelo

This song is so Bianca-coded, as she reflects on her life and on her relationship with Nico in her final moments. The part that's most her, I think is At first I didn't know what she was to me, at first I didn't know why I cared, or why I wanted, to rock her and hold her to sleep. Did I need her more than she needed me? Maybe I'm wrong, she can go on her own, 'cause I'm leaving.

The way this was probably one of her last thoughts has kept me awake at night. Also, there's the toy store/junkyard similarities and that both Lex and Bianca's 'deaths' have to do with a toy.

The Coolest Girl (A Very Potter Sequel)- Annabeth Chase

The Coolest Girl and My Grand Plan are basically the same song, I have no other notes.

Tonight this School is Mine: Reyna Ramirez-Arellano and Octavian

Obviously, this song is Octavian, he has been trying to become praeter since the dawn of time. I wasn't sure who'd 'run' against him per se, but I chose Reyna solely because we know Jason was raised up to Praeter during war, so Octavian couldn't have tried to vie against him. Reyna, on the other hand, she's barely been at camp for a few years and already became praeter? Octavian definitely had something to say about that.

Guys Like Potter (A Very Potter Sequel)- Octavian and Bryce Lawrence

Instead of being about the want for a partner, change the meaning to be the want for power? This is them to the T. It was probably "Guys Like Jackson" because my man has been at camp for 4 days and is already praeter.

Get into My Mouth (A Very Potter Senior Year) - Literally every monster ever

Self-explanatory, I believe.

The Dragon Song (A Very Potter Musical) - Lester Papadoupalus (Apollo)

This is actually how Apollo beat the Python, he told me himself.

So level with me buddy I can't defeat thee So please don't eat me All I can do Is sing this song for you

Also, the Python never asked to be a snake, and Apollo never asked to be turned mortal. We just jumped on the bandwagon, but all we need is guitar jammin'

If I Fail You (Black Friday) - Hermes

This is Hermes to Luke.

If I fail you one more time, the punishment won't match the crime. 'Cause there's no pain that can ever explain how I let you down. If I fail you one more time, the mountain I would have to climb, is so high up that I would have to die. Oh, I. I failed you once, and I will fail again.

That is all.

Doing This (Spies are Forever) - Jason Grace, Piper McLean, and Hera

I had trouble deciding whether Curt's mom would be Hera or Aphrodite because Aphrodite's well, Aphrodite, but Hera literally changed Piper's memories so she thought they were dating, so she ended up getting the honor.

I mean, the plot of the song is literally two characters, one of whom is canonically gay, thinking they have to be in a relationship before realizing they were better off as friends. That's literally Piper and Jason in TOA?

I guess we're doing this, see that look in your eyes, how can I resist, (Piper)I'm a girl, (Jason)I'm a guy. It's meant to be, because we're both spies, time to move in for this kiss. Just go with it and don't ask why. I guess we're doing this... is Heroes of Olympus and It's great to know we don't have to pretend. (Piper)You're cool with me? (Jason)'Till the end. But let's never do this again. Is them in Trials of Apollo.

To Dance Again (A Very Potter Musical) - Lavinia Asimov

As a tap dancer, I can say with certainty that Lavinia did Voldemort's tap dance for the entire legion, and spent hours making sure the fifth cohort could do the kickline properly. I don't make the rules.

The Witch In The Web (Nightmare Time) - Georgina

The "witch" is Trophonius, obviously, guiding Georgie to the cave in the Dark Prophecy. I feel like this one doesn't need much more explanation.

Rogues Are We and Rogues Are We (Reprise): Kronos' Army

Rogues are we!

Luke is Sweet Tooth in the reprise, obviously.

Adore Me (Black Friday) - Octavian

Also self-explanatory I feel like. Specifically, in House of Hades and Blood of Olympus after Reyna leaves, and he tries to make himself praetor.

I will destroy everything And then I will destroy everything I'll guarantee I'll destroy everything In my path Unless I get what I -

Gerald calling is Reyna arriving.

The Web I Spin For You (Nightmare Time) - Arachne

Do I really need to explain this?

Status Quo (Starship) - Percy Jackson

Percy does push the limits a lot, and doesn't except everything at face value, as shown when he make the gods pay child support.

I kick down the walls around me They don't know how strong I am I'm not defined by boundaries

Yeah, that's Percy.

Beauty (Starship) - Grover Underwood

This song is literally about finding beauty in nature, Grover's whole speil.

If you’re preoccupied with what’s on the outside You get lost in the “how it can seem” But open your eyes and you’ll be surprised To find out how much more something different can mean

It's just wonderful, and so Grover.

Backfire (Firebringer)- Leo Valdez

Leo made a schwoopsie when he blew up New Rome.

That's a joke. I know he was possessed, but also I feel like Backfired is how Leo's brain is when he's trying something knew. I also can see Leo being Fire also from Firebringer, or the predecessor to Backfire, which is What if?

If I Believed (Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier) - Nico di Angelo

Just like Jafar being in denial about Sherrazade's death, just as Nico is in denial about Bianca's, and is willing to ignore logic and reason in order to get them back.

Science says you’re dead and gone forever Reason says I’m talking to the air But something in my heart Some secret hidden part Illogically insists that you are there Somewhere

It's how King Minos was able to manipulate Nico so easily in Battle of the Labyrinth, and how the villains were able to get Ja'far to join the dark side so easily.

I Steal Everything (Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier)- Travis and Connor Stoll

Want food, but got no money? I'm screwed, or so it would seem That's why I came up with this brilliant scheme

Just steal everything!

Okay, Connor and Travis aren't absolute assholes like Aladdan is in this song, but I found it humorous.

[dax-enfinity]

Okay here’s my list of (current) crossover ships as of April 2024:

here we go:

Nicoby (Nico di Angelo/Ticci Toby)

My babies these guys just HAVE my heart <33

Fun fact: This ship has been a thing since 2015!

I got into this ship around early 2022 MAYBE even earlier around late 2021(???) due to this fic called “Nico and The Creepypastas” on AO3 and also huge thanks to Ellie of course !!

———

NatLeo (Leo Valdez/Clockwork)

Also my babies LMAOOOO

I actually wrote the first ever fanfic for them on AO3 under their ship tag!

Love the dynamic it’s cute

———

CarmZai (Carmen Sandiego/Dazai Osamu)

Partners in crime hear me out

Love them so so so much would be a power couple together too

Dazai is an absolutely smitten LOSER for her

———

IchiMono (Ichigo Kurosaki/Neito Monoma)

They’d genuinely be a badass couple together

I want my boy Neito to be giddy, flustered, and absolutely enamored by Ichigo

They’ve both got crazy drip too, and the opposite aesthetics make me go INSANE

Personally, I feel like they’d meet before Neito gets into U.A. (Before the entrance exams) they’d then start dating in secret but it’s just a secret to everyone at U.A. Since Neito is very private about his home life and stuff

I can imagine some of the Class 1-B kids making a quip about Ichigo being Kendo’s long lost older brother once they meet

Ichigo would be scary and intimidating too but he’s genuinely a sweetheart

———

SetsuDen (Setsuna Tokage/Denji)

Listen to me, both got sharp teeth, powers with some body horror stuff going on and they’ve also both got detached/split limbs

These two would meet pre-canon in an AU where Setsuna finds/meets Denji in an alleyway with Pochita (since he’s still homeless in this) and Setsuna’s still in middle school/junior high so pre-U.A.

They’d sneak around often and Setsuna (canonically a recommended student = MONEY) would bathe his ass like a dog and get him a new change of clothes

Denji and Pochita contract still happens so obviously he’s still Chainsaw Man in this but since this is in the MHA-verse CSM would be classified as a vigilante while Setsuna gets into U.A.

Denji doesn’t get groomed by Himeno, Makima, and Fumiko, in this too

———

HOS/ HOST OF SERAPHIM UPDATE!!

SURPRISE!! I'M NOT DEAD!! JUST WORKING!!

Thank you all so much for over 500 Kudos now. I never thought we'd get this far but, here we fuckin' are! My original intent was to double the word count on this chapter and then also upload some art for fun and as a thank you, but then real-life stuff happened and I figured I needed to get this chapter out at SOME point.

regardless! It is still about 1.5x as long as a regular chapter, and it should NOT take two months to upload another one. I've adjusted my work schedule and while I'm still working a shit ton, I at least have one day off a week now...

:') I'm a clown.

Anywho! This chapter is titled "Love" and you should not be fooled by that. It has some very heavy trigger warnings so please take a look at the chapter notes. Remember that Vergil is having an onslaught of memories just piling into his head, so he's very uncomfortable for the majority of this chapter.

Here's a spoiler-free snippet:

"Please don’t walk away, there’s more! Theres more!" A little Vergil, his lips stained blue with raspberry ice pop, would bleat as his partner-in-crime pushed the book away from him. “Vergil, this book is too sad for me.” Dante would sigh, leaning back against the clay roof and kicking his feet in frustration. “The main character threw away his family because he was too stupid to realize he wasn’t the only one hurt by a family tragedy. He was selfish and let that hurt become his whole personality until he became so power hungry and scared that he ruined the saving grace that offered itself up on a silver platter and got himself killed in the process.” And a little Vergil would frown at him and say, “What do you mean? The main character’s love interest was a girl. Someone he left not to abandon her, but to protect her from the danger that followed him. So he could grow strong and protect the both of them, so nothing in the world could ever hurt either of them ever again. I think that’s a noble cause, don’t you?” And The Raven would simply nod, his red ice-pop melting in the heat of the summer sun and sucking idly at the flavor between his fingers. “That’s what I said.” He would reply lazily. He would squint up at him, his dark pony-tailed hair spread around him like a smoke-stain. He would raise his hand above his head to block the sun, grimacing anyway to reply in a bored tone.  “And of course I think its noble, lucertolino, I think that was our problem.” And little Vergil would gape at the image of the boy who was once his brother and realize he never knew his twin at this age. And he would stare and stare and stare at his blue raspberry ice pop, willing that to make sense until the blue splashed over the page and ruined the rest of the story. He wouldn’t cry over it though, even if it was a really good book. He’d get mad and growl somewhere a little deeper than his chest and throw the book over the edge of the roof, even if it was a really good book. "Why’d you do that, idiota? You loved that book."  The Raven would sit up from his sunbathing spot and frown into the bright distance. "No I didn't. I hated it." Vergil would spit and lie, that stony expression would come over his face even as his weakest instrument broke in two. "We should write a new one. Just us. Just me and you, nobody else." Vergil would turn, the baby-blue of his coat flashing golden light onto his heart’s face. She would laugh at his anger, her brunette bun bouncing with the energy of it and her bright red dress bunched up between clay-stained hands as they walked. She’d stop him right underneath the statue of his father, her hands pressing into his chest and tongue between her teeth—seeing too much of him. "Art like that is made once and a lifetime, Angelo. A shame you did not cherish it while you had it." “I hate you.” Adult Vergil mumbled in reply. Between blinks, Eleonora came and went. And between inhales, his brother had returned. Dante laid underneath Vergil, his chest against his back, gripping tightly to his brother’s torso as if somehow, he would disappear on exhalation.

Spy x Family au where Percy is a spy from Westalis and Nico is an assassin in training from Ostania

"Damn it!" Nico kept repeating under his breath. Garden was definitely not going to like this. It was one of their cardinal rules.

Protect the peace, weed out what threatens it, leave no evidence.

He had messed up the last step, and now everyone would know Judge Thorn had been murdered instead of quietly passing away during a night of excesses.

He really didn't deserve his 'Ghost King' codename.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw some people in suits rushing towards the whore house where the body was. Nico cursed again. There was no way he could clean up now.

If it was the Secret Police, Garden may finally be more than just a "debunked" rumor among Ostania's elite.

He had also spent too much time. Jason and Reyna might be wondering why he was taking so long in the bathroom.

"My first solo mission, too..."

Sighing in defeat, Nico slipped through the night. Even if Garden's cover was blown open, its assassins needed to remain as inconspicuous as always. In that case, even more so.

He couldn't afford to make his coworkers suspect a thing.

"What took you so long?" Reyna asked with a raised eyebrow. "We were thinking you ditched us."

"Um... someone was... getting it on in the bathroom," he said, thinking of the first excuse that came to mind. "IT would have been awkward to come out of the stall..."

"You could have joined," Leo, Jason's best friend and the guy who had dragged them all here, slurred, drunk already. "'snot like you have a girlfriend or anything..."

Jason and Reyna looked uncomfortable. Right, him being attracted to men was sort of an open secret at work. If the authorities found out, he would have to apply for a permit and pay a tax he (supposedly) couldn't afford to 'give back' to Ostanian families who could produce offspring.

Not good if he wanted to keep his cover. Especially without a romantic partner.

"Gross," Nico said. "I thought we were partying because you got engaged."

"Sure did!" Leo cheered. "Hey, another round!"

Nico sighed. He hated cheap booze, but the backstory Garden had come up with required him to come from a humble household before landing a low-ranking job at an important Public Relations Agency. With such a background, it would be bizarre for him not to enjoy beer.

Nico Werner was a regular guy living day to day. Nico di Angelo, the child of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs who enjoyed fancy cocktails and whose father had been way too chummy with Westalis for the Party's liking, had died alongside his family after a terrorist attack.

"I'll go dance for a while," he said, tired of taking sips of the cheap booze. His friends nodded, while Leo laughed at nothing.

He looked over his shoulder, worried to see the guys in suits or the Secret Police already looking for him.

He bumped into someone.

"Hey," A nice voice said. Nico looked back to find himself staring at aqua colored... no, sea green eyes. "Are you okay?"

The guy smiled charmingly. Nico felt his face grow hotter.

"Y-yeah," he stuttered. "Just... didn't look where I was going."

"It's okay... want to dance?"

Nico's eyes bulged. He looked around and then at the guy's pocket. Sure enough, the card that identified this man as attracted to the same gender was clearly visible, as ordered by the Party.

"Wha... I'm not... I mean I am, but I can't afford..."

"It's just a dance, I'm not asking to marry you," the guy winked. "I'm Percy, by the way, Percy Jackson."

"...Nico Werner."

----

Seastrand observed as WISE agents removed the body of Judge Stefan Thorn from the empty room. The man had been a piece of work, and had ties to Nationalist extremists that now would find it very difficult to get away with just fines and slaps on the wrist for their crimes against Westalis immigrants.

"I don't know how you two can remain like nothing's wrong," Grover, their informant said, face a little green from all the blood. "I mean, he got stabbed in the throat!"

"The heart, too," Owl commented, her long blond hair tied back as she cleaned up the scene. "Whoever did this knew exactly how to make the death quick... but still painful."

Seastrand nodded, smiling a bit.

"If people saw this, it would create strife between the East and the West," he said. "So, what's the story?"

Owl shrugged.

"The wounds were almost imperceptible if not for the blood," She said. "We'll return him home and send a mortician to say he overdosed on some substance."

"To think that not even WISE may have known if we hadn't been following him," he said. "Too bad it had to be tonight, I was planning on building my cover's finishing touches."

"Then go do so, Seastrand," Owl said, smiling a bit. "You are key for Operation Mistletoe."

Seastrand nodded and ran to the bar.

Operation Mistletoe. Like the parasitic plant, his mission was to infiltrate the Party and weaken it from the inside, infiltrating as a diversity hire after being recommended by the Party's favored PR agency.

He needed an in with the firm, though.

Enter Nico Werner. His files had caught Seastrand's eye from the initial investigation. He was easy on the eyes, and reports showed him to be an unremarkable everyman who happened to be attracted to males, but without the financial stability to afford an Ostanian permit.

The guy would soon be forced to find a girlfriend, or be interrogated extensively by the government and fined for keeping his orientation a secret.

Percy Jackson would be the helping hand Nico could hold on to, maybe even helping him with his permit, and in exchange, he would introduce Percy to the PR agency, where he would wow with his political savvy (that he didn't have, but WISE would coach him to fake it) and be one step closer to weakening the Party before the next elections.

He saw his target immediately. The young man was very pale, with intelligent yet wary eyes. Seastrand observed as he took some sips of his beer like he was being forced to (not a drinker?) and talked to his friends.

He needed to make this introduction natural. He needed Nico Werner to want to be his friend.

(Seastrand wouldn't mind being more, but it would be cruel to leave him once he was done with his mission)

Maybe he put on too much of a flirty attitude, however. Maybe the guy was not as innocent and inexperienced as his files indicated.

It was the only logical reasoning for why Seastrand had been woken up by the sound of a shower, naked on Nico's bed.

He tried to retrace his steps, trying to find when things went wrong. Maybe when he offered Nico a fancy drink, or maybe when, during their talk, Nico had told him about never getting a card unless he had someone he wanted to date. All the while looking at him with those dark brown eyes.

It hadn't been for the mission's sake. Seastrand knew that. He had found Nico Werner attractive from the beginning, but to lose control like that... what kind of spy was he?

"I meant what I said last night," Nico said, making him look up. "I don't have money for an extra tax, and I like you Percy, but not enough to actually date you."

"Why not?" He asked curiously, even though he should be taking the chance to try and salvage the relationship as platonic.

"I... don't want the government meddling in my life," he admitted quietly. "Unless I really, really like the guy... I want to remain hidden."

"You can't do that forever, though," Seastrand said, trying to get his head back on the mission.

"Why not?"

"How old are you? 22? 23?" Nico Werner was 23 years old. He had come from a rural town a few hours away from the capital before his high marks at school landed him a job at the Party's preferred PR agency. "By the time you're 24 the government will start getting suspicious about your lack of dating life. Maybe even interrogate you."

He didn't need to say anymore. With all the rumors of spies from Westalis, the interrogation of anyone suspicious would definitely fall to the Secret Police rather than the regular authorities. They were experts who could extract any secret from anybody.

Nico looked far more troubled at that than Seastrand expected him to. Maybe his financial situation was far more dire than he had initially thought.

"What do you suggest, then?"

"Maybe we're not ready to date," Seastrand said, understanding. "But I have a few funds stored up. Let me help you get your permit, and who knows, maybe in the process, you'll like me enough to date me."

He winked. Percy Jackson had shown himself to be a charmer interested in Nico Werner. He had to keep his persona consistent.

"You really are willing to do all that just for a guy you just met?" Nico asked, surprised.

Crap, that was too much for too little, wasn't it?

"I'm also looking for a place to live," he said quickly. "I can crash on your couch until I find something more permanent, the dating prospect is just a nice bonus."

Well, there went his bachelor pad that could double as a base. Percy really was an idiot.

Nico seemed to think it over before nodding.

"I have a guest room, you can use it," he said, smiling. "Who knows? It might be nice, not needing to hide anymore."

Seastrand smiled back, hiding his bitterness.

"Yeah, not having to lie is refreshing."

Angelo had been gone for several hours on his 'mission' now. All Rowan had managed to get out of him before he got properly dressed and left their hotel room was 'Request from my boss, shouldn't take too long, be back before our plans' and then he was gone. They were meant to have lunch plans together but Angelo had been gone well past midday at this point, the sky starting to darken into evening. It was a little worrying even. It didn't usually take that long for Angelo to do much of anything, the man was good at what he did. It felt like forever until something of interest had happened, several gasps heard outside of their hotel room, followed by the almost trademark heavy footfalls of his partner in crime. Angelo wasn't exactly quiet. The door handle jostled for a moment before falling still, the man on the otherside cursing under his breath. It was a keycard lock, some... newfangled thing he constantly forgot about. He missed keys. It took several more moments until the door slammed open, a truly ghastly figure shambling through it. Angelo looked a real mess, his usually well-kept long hair a total mess, clumped in places with what was probably dried blood. He hobbled inside, Firestarter's hand grabbing onto the doorframe for support. Blood dripped down from what had to be a cut on his forehead, joining the blood dribbling down from a split lip, both making a mess on his poor suit which was... equally as rough. The red did a lot of the legwork in hiding what were probably the worst parts of his injuries, although dark blood pooled between fingers where he clutched at his side. The poor man looked one step from simply just passing out in the doorway where he stood. "Room service's coming with a medkit, pay the guy more money from my stuff." He muttered, taking another step before his leg buckled and he collapsed down in a bloody heap, Firestarter fading out as he fell. He had made it a step into the room, better than he'd expected.

Subject title: You have to team up with @iamcatdagreat and @mrs.schanell

Hey Kendra!

I want to encourage you to team up with these two women, Roxy Reynolds and CatDaGreat. They will become your teammates and partners in crime. Your Thelma to your Louise, you feel me?

You need a team you can always trust, and these two women will become your trustworthy female gang.

CatDaGreat is a very loyal woman. She has a pure heart.

Roxy Reynolds is also a very loyal woman. She has a pure heart.

You need these two loyal women in your life to fight crime.

And you can also add Taz Williams as your trustworthy brother. He will always be there to help you fight crime. If you ever need someone to get you out of any danger, don't hesitate to call Taz Williams. He will be there to knock them out.

You know that Taz and Cat are like family to me. That's why I introduced you to them a week ago, and now I want to encourage you to hang out with them. They are my family.

Halle Berry is the Godmother of Taz and CatDaGreat.

Ellen and Portia are the Godmothers of Kendra Lust now.

This team will become allied. They will fight crime together.

Fun Fact: Taz and T-Raww (@tyga) are good friends.

Taz and Tyga will help you fight crime.

Also, don't forget uncle Snoop Dogg. If you ever need someone to help you fight crime, you can count on uncle Snoop's support.

I know you will have fun with these new teammates. They will help you fight crime, and you will never feel alone again.

You know this is a public blog, and I can't share too much information because we don't want the enemies to know our next moves.

My dear Kendra, you should know that I don't care about your job as a porn actress. I don't give a single f**k about that. I know that you are a good human being, and that's all that matters to me.

I feel the same about Roxy Reynolds. She is a sweetheart, a cool chick from the hood, super laid back, and I could never disrespect her. She is worthy of my respect.

CatDaGreat is not a porn actress, but she talks about sex a lot on social media. I have a lot of respect for my Dominican sister. She is one of the sweetest girls in Miami.

CatDaGreat and Taz are people that I call my family. They are people that I used to party with in Miami clubs. I had a lot of good times with them back in the 2010s era. Raul R.I.P. and Erica Mena (@ericamena). I wish I could hug Erica Mena right now. She is such a good mother.

Erica Mena is Dominican, and so is CatDaGreat.

You can also add Erica Mena to your female gang. She will help you fight crime too.

You have a team of female warriors to help you fight crime now.

This is the end of our conversation.

Your alien-lover, and guardian angel,

Angelo.

Question Dear Father Angelo, I’m a 2X year-old girl who’s always kept close to the Church and Her precepts. I’ve been in a relationship for almost … years and I’m not married yet because my boyfriend works in a different city and I’m about to graduate from university. I’ll get to my point: my boyfriend and I have sexual relations using protection; initially, my intention was to remain a virgin until our wedding, but then I let go (however, I feel guilty every time, but he’s non-practicing and this causes in me an internal conflict). I always brought these sins to the confessional, but I never confessed the use of a contrceptive because I didn’t think it important. I ask you to kindly clarify how I should make my confession because this situation makes me feel bad, I wouldn’t want to have taken Communion sacrilegiously by not confessing this sin. Easter is approaching and I want to receive Jesus in the most righteous way possible. I’ll be anxiously waiting for your answer and I wish you a happy Easter. Priest’s answer Dearest,  Unfortunately I couldn't get to your question sooner. There are e-mails which have been waiting for an answer for a long time, but I’ll make an exception and answer yours almost immediately.  I’ll start with your boyfriend, who is non-practicing. In other words, he does not rely on God, which puts him at risk of creating a moral law of his own, deciding subjectively what is good and what is evil. To a person who calls himself “non-practicing”, God stops being the starting and ending point of his life, including his sexuality and his love life. I’m not surprised by the fact that he made up his own morality. Engagement is a time for laying the foundation of marriage, a time to learn how to truly love. Your boyfriend believes himself to be truly loving, he doesn’t think he needs to learn how to love. But it isn’t so.  Sex before marriage is not true love for two reasons: The first: because one gives himself to somebody who doesn’t ultimately belong to him. Somebody who belongs to him in his desire, but not in reality. The body of the other person doesn’t belong to him yet. Both partners know this is the case, because they know they are free, they feel it internally. They know the other is free to leave as he pleases. The second reason: it is not true love because one does not give himself in totality. Precisely for this reason, in order not to give ourselves totally, we use contraception. What is contraception if not the refusal to give ourselves completely, the refusal to give the other our capacity to become fathers or mothers? It is a refusal, by the way, that we make while actualizing our procreative capabilities. Somebody rightly pointed out that “lust is a skin-deep lie, possession disguised as gift”. I’ll come now to your question. You say that you have always confessed having had sexual intercourse, but without detailing the means of contraception. Well, the confessor knows that sexual relations before marriage usually involve contraception. This does not change the order of the sin confessed, because it is implicit. Your confessions are therefore valid and you should not trouble yourself over this.  However, one needs to confess the method of contraception if it’s also an abortifacient, i.e. Plan B, IUD. In addition to going against the Sixth Commandment, which prohibits impure acts, that would put one at risk of going against the Fifth Commandment as well: do not kill. Using abortifacient methods means to clearly expose oneself to the possibility of eliminating a human being at the beginning of his existence. This is always a particularly grave evil. Pope John XXII said that “Human life is sacred […] From its very inception it reveals the creating hand of God.” (Mater et Magistra 194) and the Second Vatican Council: “Therefore from the moment of its conception life must be guarded with the greatest care while abortion and infanticide are unspeakabl

e crimes.” (GS 51).  It is superfluous for me to exhort you to live your love life in purity. You have everything to gain and will help your boyfriend make big gains in every way as well.  I wish you the best for your future. I recommend you to the Lord and bless you. Father Angelo

—

You look around you, twirling your hair around your finger with a frown. “I can’t believe they picked here out of all places. We could’ve gone to like Los Angelos, Dubai somewhere fun!”

Five sighs. “We’re not here for fun, (Y/N). We’re here on business.”

You pout a little more, sticking out your bottom lip. “Oh c’mon, you can’t tell me some part of you is not itching for the thrill of killing the board.”

“I’m doing this for my family.” There’s a short pause before he adds. “And you.”

You smile, “Aw, aren’t you just the sweetest!”

Five rolls his eyes, strolling into the building and smiling at the lady. You, on the other hand, find yourself engulfed in the scenery. Particularly the cat and rabbit statue. You had a feeling it was coming home with you as a souvenir.

“Excuse me?” Five asked.

“Uff da! You snuck up on me there,” The woman gasps, eyeing the two children in front of her. “If you’re looking for the cookies, we don’t put ‘em out til three.”

“Cookies?” You ask excitedly. “Oooh, what type?”

“She can hardly wait,” Five said, a little strain in his voice. “Uh, do you happen to know where the midwest soybean society is meeting?

“Sure do! Muskellunge banquet room. You looking for your mom? She in the convention?”

You look around absentmindedly, boredom settling in, and you decide to walk around. Or well, you tried before Five grabbed your hand and pulled you right back next to him. You sigh in defeat, crossing your arms.

“Hey, could I get some change?” Five asked, eyeing something just over the lady's shoulder.

“Oh sure, I’ll just look in my purse,” she chirps, unzipping it and digging around. “Only a nickel and a couple of dimes… oh, you are in luck, mister!”

She grabs the change and drops it in Five’s hand as you begin tapping your foot against the floor in annoyance. You were dying to get in that room and create a bloody massacre. It felt like it had been forever since you got an assignment. Which it kind of has been since you and Five left the commission.

“You know, some say the best luck is to die at the right time,” Five remarked, walking away.

You grin at the lady. “So let’s hope today’s not your lucky day.”

She blinks at you, a frown marring her features, and you just shrug, skipping up to Five.

He slips in the change, pressing a few buttons and waiting.

“So you weren’t gonna ask me if I wanted anything?”

“Sorry, did you want kiss my ass or fuck you?”

You gasp, slapping a hand against your chest. “Well, now that’s not very nice of you.”

“I’m not exactly in a nice mood, my dear.”

He huffs when his fudge nutter fails to fall towards the slot. His hands ball into fists, and he begins punching and kicking the machine, uttering curses the whole time. You just let him do his thing. The angrier he is, the more fun the massacre.

The vending machine shatter and Five angrily stomps off. You push yourself off the wall, grabbing a fudge nutter and tucking it in your pocket to give to him later. You follow after him, watching as he swipes a finger across the cake. He likes the icing off his finger, grabbing an ax by a table and waiting for you.

You grab a fistful of cake, licking the rest of it off your fingertips and cocking your head at Five. “Sorry, did you want any?”

“(Y/N).”

You giggle, grabbing the other ax and twirling it in your hands. “C’mon, baby boy, let’s have some fun!”

Five kicks the door open, holding his ax in hand while you smile.

“You!” AJ exclaimed, slamming his hands down on the table. “Call security!”

Before the lady can, you swing your ax through an arc in the air and watch as it cuts clean through, and she slumps to the ground. You let out a loud cheer. “Let’s get this party started!”

“What are you doing?” AJ yells as Five teleports to the other side of the room, and the massacre begins.

You throw your ax at the person closest to you, watching as their head falls to the ground. You brush off the blood on your shoulder before grabbing the ax and resuming pace. You stand back to back with Five, laughing the whole time, as you send your ax into various heads, blood splattering everywhere. One tries to grab you, and you gasp. You shove the ax straight through their chest. “That’s no way to treat a lady!”

You survey the room, blood drenching the table and your clothes. You stand next to a group slumped in their chairs, one missing his head, the other’s throat slit open, and your ax stuck in the back of the other’s head. “Photo op!” You squeal.

“She sent you, didn’t she?” AJ asked as Five appeared in front of him. You yank your ax from the back of the man’s head, using your finger to wipe off the brain matter before standing by Five, leaning on the said ax.

“Does it really matter now?” You said with a fake pout. "Poor little AJ. A stupid, little goldfish I could eat for dinner."

“What ever she offered you, I will double it, triple it!” AJ begs.

Your eyes light up. “What are we talking? I could really go for—”

Suddenly a body tackles you to the floor, and you scream. “Get off me, you pig!”

“You’re gonna for that vending machine, little miss,” The lady shouts as you thrash in her grip. You roll your eyes, it wasn't even you!

“We don’t want to hurt you,” Five said, appearing behind her.

“I do. In fact, I’ll enjoy carving the eyes out of your head and feeding them to my cats," You snarl.

“Hurt me? Oh, I ain’t afraid of you, you little pus ball,” she sneers.

“All right, that’s it. Hands off her.” Five lands a hard kick across the lady’s face, and she lands next to you unconscious.

He offers you a hand, pulling you to your feet. “My dear.”

“Where did AJ go?” You asked, ignoring Five’s lingering gaze on you.

“Shit!” He groans.

“He’s a fish, Five. He didn’t get far.”

You grab your ax off the ground while Five runs out of the room. As expected AJ isn’t even halfway down the hall. Five teleports right in front of him with a shit-eating grin.

“This isn’t your style Five,” AJ begins. “Doing the Handler’s dirty work?”

Five shrugs. “No, you’re right. It’s hers.”

You step up, ax hanging off your shoulder. “Hiya there, AJ!”

“Surely, we can come to some sort of agreement that benefits both parties. Quid pro quo? What do you say?” He asked, stumbling back.

“Why not?” Five said, grabbing a piece of wood.

“Here’s your quid,” He shouts, slamming AJ’s stomach, “here’s your pro!”

“No, please, please, no!”

“And here’s your quo!” You laugh, driving the ax into his glass bowl and watching as the fish flops on the ground.

You let him suffer just for a few minutes before Five grabs a bag full of water and slips him in.

“Well, that was fun,” You said cheekily. “It’s just like the old days. Honestly, this might be my new favorite mission.”

“Is that so?” Five said bitterly.

You poke Five’s cheek. “Don’t be so glum. I know you enjoyed that.”

“I did what I had to do.”

“What you were trained to do.”

Five clicks his tongue but says nothing more.

“I just think the blood-drenched outfit suits you. That’s all, baby.”

Five sighs and stops in his tracks, facing you and your bright eyes. He tucks a piece of hair behind your ear and wipes some blood from your face.

“We’re going home now, (Y/N).”

You just smile. “Home is wherever you are.”

If there wasn’t blood covering Five’s face, you might’ve said he was blushing. You reach into your pocket and hand him the fudge nutter. He chuckles but takes it.

“You know you drive me insane, right?” He asked.

“Only in the best kind of way.”

Five just hums his agreement.
