The way people are complaining that jinx isn’t the same character this season because she’s “sane” (aka not actively having an episode of psychosis, even though she literally did experience a hallucination when seeing vi with the enforcers), is strange.
also I find it strange that people talk about jinx and powder as if they’re separate people. they aren’t. jinx is powder, grown up and traumatized and mentally ill. like i completely understand that jinx likely struggles to realize this, because extremes are often the stable of bpd and she shows all the signs, and well—a personality disorder is a personality disorder.
but no jinx did not kill powder and taint her memory. powder is not gone. jinx can not exist without powder, and vice versa—because they are eachother. that’s what vi needs to realize and accept as well—her sister is not gone.
her sister just grew up and changed and is traumatized and mentally ill. it’s impossible for jinx to kill powder, or for powder to “come back,” the exact same she was. vi could never have powder back because the powder vi remembers was a scared, helpless little girl who depended on her for almost everything. powder was never going to remain that way forever—not if she wanted to survive.
powder has grown up and changed without her. that was always going to happen, it happens to everyone. if nothing happened as it did, their family was still alive, vi was never thrown in jail and powder never taken in by silco; powder still would’ve changed, somehow, someway. She’d likely still just be going by powder rather than jinx.
#houndshowlings#arcane spoilers#arcane season 2 spoilers#psychosis is not a constant thing.#the reason she’s different from how she was in s1#is because we literally meet jinx when she’s in the throes of and being reminded of her trauma.#s1 one was basically just a giant snowballing episode for jinx.#of psychosis and trauma and confusion and fear.#especially once she was injected with shimmer and hallucinated that vi and cait were hurting her.#only to be faced with the possibility of abandonment and betrayal from silco.#something she very clearly subconsciously feared for awhile.#that silco would abandon her.#people are leaning way too far into the idea that jinx is the evil insane side#and powder the innocent good side#it’s what leads some people to believe that jinx genuinely hates violet and doesn’t have any love for her.#when in fact if that were the case#vi’s choice to become an enforcer wouldn’t have triggered a full on sobbing breakdown from jinx.#it’s clearly a huge betrayal to jinx that vi did that and hunted her down to their childhood spot & took claggors goggles.#that wouldn’t have effected jinx if she and powder were truly different.#not to mention#when vi the enforcer picked up claggors goggles was when jinx pointed the gun at her.#suggesting that jinx still feels highly protective of her brother and his things.#or at least things that remind her of him.#arcane season 2#arcane#arcane powder#arcane jinx#arcane vi#arcane violet#arcane claggor

GOTHAM'S SWAT TEAM
Inspired by this post
For the longest time, the kids of Amity Park always thought that the police is a fictional job. Like, sure. They have a sheriff but it's like saying because there are knights there must also be wizards.
Well, there were real wizards. Danny accidentally encounters some of them while going around the Ghost Zone. Not like Freakshow type of wizard. A real wizard. The type that spends their day in their room reading and experimenting.
So that beg the question, is the police real? And Danny goes out on a hunt for a police ghost. And it isn't even that hard. Asking around the ghosts that are once human, Danny easily finds legit police officers and asks them questions.
That discovery blows his mind. Collecting enough evidence, Danny shares his finding with his friends. Everyone brushes him off saying he is faking it and is just trying to gain attention, even Wes doesn't believe him and he is supposed to be the crazy one.
It is until Mr. Lancer himself confirms that police officers are real that they realize Danny wasn't lying. After that, his focus immediately changed. From becoming an astronaut to becoming a police officer. And surprisingly, it is a lot easier to be a police officer than to be an astronaut.
Him being a "meta" also doesn't pose any problem as a new program from being pushed by the FBI. Danny is pretty sure the police and FBI don't get along that well but it's not his problem.
Danny is very good at his job. Almost all of his cases get solved or at least reached a very reasonable conclusion. No matter what job he gets assigned to, he easily solves them. Investigation, car chase, emergency. Literally anything.
But there is one single flaw about Danny. He hates politics. Like he would rather spend his summer with Vlad than take or give bribes. That makes it hard for him to rise in ranks and gain a higher position. Not like Danny is really gunning for it anyway.
But that also doesn't last long, Danny finds out about corruption in his police department and reports it immediately. Surprisingly, the head department himself is involved in the corruption. The head department tries to send people to assassinate him but Danny is Danny. He takes down all the assassins and manages to make them confess to their crime.
With them being caught, the head department also gets captured. But still, it is politics, so Danny is transferred away in the name of promotion.
And that is how he officially gets the position as the captain of the Swat team at Gotham. The first time he gets deployed is to stop a gang fight between someone named Two face and Black Mask.
That night, the Gothamites swear that the one in the SWAT suit is not a human. He rushes through the gun fires and avoids each bullet like they are some snowballs someone throws. 15 minutes. That is what some of the goons say. That is the amount of time for the SWAT team to take them down.
Their efficiency rivals even the bats. Except for the death that is caused by the earlier shootout, no one dies after the SWAT team arrives. Black Mask and Two Face are captured that night and for the first time, the police captures the rogues without any of the bats help.
The news goes around fast and soon almost everyone knows that there is a new SWAT team captain. For the first time, the reputation of the police department rose. But for GCPD, it is the busiest and most scary month for them.
All the police officers at GCPD agreed to one thing. If you catch the attention of the SWAT team, get ready to go to jail. So far, no one has managed to escape his sight except those that are truly clean. One after another, police officers get captured and replaced. At some point, there are even some rich people that are captured.
Commissioner Gordon stares at the list of police officers at GCPD. He is stunned since he doesn't even know how the captain of the SWAT team does it. Almost all the police here are the clean ones, while the rest are people with non major problems like lazy or incompetent. Gordon looks at the name of the SWAT team and stares at the name of the Captain.
Daniel James Fenton
A normal name for an extraordinary young man. Looking at his past records shows a young man with excellent work ethics with impressive capabilities. If Gordon is to retire one day, he hopes that Danny will take his place.
Suddenly, an alarm goes off. There is a breakout at Arkham. Just as he is about to order his team to move, the SWAT team van rushes out of the building with an impressive feat.
Danny is really having the time of his life. His core that is screaming for him to protect people has been nourishing in Gotham. From him removing the corrupt police officers, all the way to him taking down gangs. All of it is helping him. It does really help that he can speak to ghosts and be ghosts himself.
As Danny prepares himself for the imminent chase that is about to happen, a ring sounds from his phone. Picking up the call, a loud noise goes out.
Ellie: Daddy, the news says that there is a breakout at Arkham. Is it true?
Danny: Yes, honey. That's why I need you to stay home okay. You remember what you need to do if you are in danger right?
Ellie: Yes! Push the big red button. And the green one if super dangerous.
Danny: Good. Stay home until I finish my job okay?
Ellie: Okay!
Putting down his phone, Danny checks his gear one more time.
Jamal: Your daughter, cap?
Danny: Yeah. She has been trying to get me to bring him to work. You know the GCPD isn't a place I should bring a child to.
Jamal: Oh, for sure. If I had a child, I wouldn't even let them near there.
George: Pft, you don't even have a girlfriend. How can you have a child?
Jamal: Oi! Don't underestimate me. I can easily have a girlfriend if I want to.
Jennifer: Yeah, right. I'd give you 100 bucks if you can have a girlfriend by the end of the year.
Jamal: Aight, bet.
Hans: Cap, I get a report that Joker is nearby. Do we go after him?
Danny: Why do you even need to ask? Let's go bust some clown's ass.
Hans: Roger that.
Hans that is driving, makes a wild turn to the left into a smaller road. Hans is their best driver and knows Gotham roads like the back of his palm. Danny finds him when he busts out a robbery group and had a chase scene with him.
If not for the fact that Danny can fly faster than a car, he wouldn't have been able to catch Hans that night. After pulling some strings, Danny manages to convince Hans to join his SWAT team as the driver.
As the van flies through the road of Gotham, they finally see a white car with a green wig and red nose on the front.
Hans: Cap, we got Joker in our view.
Danny: Release a warning.
Hans taps a few buttons and a microphone falls down from the van ceiling.
Hans: To the car in front. You are ordered to stop right this instant.
Hans put away the microphone fully expecting the car not stopping. And true to his expectation, all he receives is loud laughter and a few gunshots.
Danny: Jamal, shoot them.
Jamal: Roger that.
Kicking open the backdoor, Jamal releases his drones into the sky. The drones fly and turn and suddenly, a barrel comes out of each drone.
Jamal: I got the visual. Firing in 3..2...1.
Ratatatatatatatata
Bullets fly through the sky towards Joker's car as the driver tries to avoid the bullets. Unfortunately, this is not a movie and soon the car crashes to the side as all four of its tires have exploded.
Hans stops the car by the side of the car crash and Danny and his team rushes out. Taking the Joker and his gang out of the smoking car, Danny makes a few calls and a few police cars arrive at the scene.
Danny strips all of Joker's and the gang's equipment down to their underpants and sends them away. Getting back inside the van, Hans continues driving towards the next rouge that has been sighted.
Danny: Strap up boys. It will be a long night.

How Lookism men confess to YOU they've caught feelings
G/N. Soft. Fluffy. All that good stuff. (Gun, Jake, Goo, James Lee/DG, Johan, Vin, Samuel, Eli, Ryuhei)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/531c9baad106bbb3aa28cbdae524c0d8/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-bd/s540x810/ea7e894bc5576bc25057b47113944cc33fe6b556.jpg)
Gun opts for somewhere private, just the two of you. Whether that's his home, yours, or somewhere only you both know.
He tells you with certainty his feelings for you. That there's no point divulging if he didn't think it would work out, if you weren't better together.
Intensity radiates from him. His words, eyes, aura. He keeps his confession simple and to the point, unexpectedly romantic with how matter of fact he is.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/704a0c49209dcef8ca63b4aa2108d395/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-41/s540x810/b8bade55a14b49b8709196eacef68443d9960705.jpg)
Jake thought he was being subtle, but there's a lot of prying eyes in the shadows.
He shoos the Big Deal members away in his best authoritative, no nonsense boss tone. The one he reserves to deal with serious matters. Which this is. Of utmost seriousness.
Behind his beaming toothy grin and confident stance are anxious eyes. His words are cheesy and well-rehearsed. Sincerity pulses through his every fibre, leaving you starry eyed and breath hitched.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dcb2d3235417fb6a4dab9ca6629c77dc/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-62/s540x810/2e7c21c8fc123c37aec8bc9292d3d1b785d7d7ba.jpg)
Goo announces his feelings with a grin on his lips.
Corners you somewhere crowded, at a completely inappropriate moment. But of course. It's only inappropriate if Goo deems it to be so, and there's no time like the present.
The words are said lightly, like he could play it off as a joke any moment. His ego too fragile for rejection. But his carefree attitude is off kilter, body language tense. Gaze steady and more serious than you have ever seen.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3664f17b5a93267f341f9764c29e8c75/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-dd/s540x810/cd43ea2fc5464145e56428b804c0a5ff6359c44b.jpg)
James is flippant. The arrogant, cocky man claims you as his already. Confesses without any doubt in his mind that rejection could happen, or it could sting.
He's not a gambling man. Only plays when the odds are in his favour and the gains far outweighs the losses.
There's no ifs or buts. Talks about 'us' and 'we' and a future where you're by his side.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5ea8d5176f2ef0da1c2141b6e1dcd35f/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-98/s540x810/c6b11119fd47a097886640b2d4f9381dd16910da.jpg)
Johan pulls out the words reluctantly and when you least expect. Like they will choke him if he keeps it from you any longer.
He says it without looking at you. Eyes fixed on the ground, a point in the distance, Miro, Eden, anywhere but you.
Brows knitted together, hands white knuckled. A second away from running away. But he needs to tell you, he has to. The words are too big to swallow down anymore.
.

![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/277c5732e083904298adb7bd3f9eada0/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-d7/s540x810/0a5b2f117c62d3ddfd9eebe84357624dfa3c3b89.jpg)
Vin peppers his confession with insults and half-jokes. A type of self defence to spare his heart.
Hands in pocket, like it's no big deal. Words spilling out, trying to inject indifference into them. Back against the wall, peering over at you.
Sunglasses firmly on, eyes shielded. Because he can't bear to be any more vulnerable than he has to right now. His words are barbed and prickly, but his feelings are completely bared.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/cf32e0e654c5ed53fc894f137919bd14/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-69/s540x810/7b69d3cefb7639b16fa1aa03dea2c6a0a3d40ae3.jpg)
Samuel offers his heart in between lofty promises and delusions of grandeur.
Words murmured against the back of your hand, breath ghosting over your skin. Eyes fixed on yours, fiery and almost challenging you to say no.
But a relentless phantom haunts him, one that he silences over and over again.
-That being by his side won't be enough, that offering you to be his queen is inadequate, lacking and there's so much more that you deserve.
Still, he promises you the world and is committed to giving you nothing less.
.

Trepidation lines Eli’s words. Like he can’t believe he’s here again. After everything that has happened, with everything on his plate.
He’s forced himself to make room for you, carved out a part of his life.
He confesses in a cramped dusty room in Hostel. Sat opposite one another on rickety uneven chairs, so close your knees are touching and there’s no personal space left.
Body leaning forward, craving your touch and proximity as he rids the last remnants of hesitancy and takes a leap of faith.
.
.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/24448ba513fb9e3776384681a37d3610/bd64367f5d4ca2ae-41/s540x810/3c082468e1411818f8ace33485b7e7fa16d8ed8d.jpg)
Ryuhei tells you over and over again.
Until it becomes a daily mantra of sorts for him, and part of your day for you. At first as a joke, or at least you thought so. And then his earnestness snowballed until you could no longer ignore it.
He confesses, with the same sort of childish joy he always feels when he's with you. Tonight, his blood is thrumming in his vein and his pulse is beating in his ears.
With a hushed voice and hope in his eyes: he tells you once more.

*staring off into the distance remembering how 3rd Life ended* Oh, you're here too. Huh? Incorrect quotes? Oh yeah, here, have these. *continues to stare off into the distance*
Scar: Wow, great work on the Halloween decorations. Where did you get the fake skeletons? Grian: Fake?
Grian: You can’t have a gun on stage! Scar: WRONG AGAIN! I can have a gun, and I must have a gun, that’s the rule of Chekhov’s Gun: have a gun. And now that it’s been seen, I will have to shoot someone before the end of the play.
Scar: "29-34 Give a particular ecosystem and explain how could it be protected." Scar: Help. Grian: Forests, stop cutting down trees and don't hold gender reveal parties anywhere near them.
Scar: I intend to stay pissed at you forever. Scar: Even if I seem helpful. Grian: Then you're in luck. Grian: Because you don't.
Grian: Scar is forbidden from monologuing.
Grian: Help! I’m drowning! Scar: Calm down. We’re only in six feet of water! Grian: NOT ALL OF US ARE TALL!
Scar: I trusted you! Grian: Why?
Scar: Where did you get that tomato soup? Grian: It’s actually a bowl of ketchup I just microwaved.
Scar: Grian, can you help me? All of my clothes keep disappearing for some reason. Grian, wearing a hoodie that's 5 times bigger than their size: Spooky.
Grian: What's my sexuality?! I don't fucking know! I'm not straight, and that's all that matters. Well, maybe that's unfair to the straights. Some of my best friends are straight! Well, one of them. Well, I know them, and Scar is perfectly tolerable person in small doses!
Grian: I typed "bitch" into my GPS and guess what? I'm in your driveway. Scar: Grian: Vroom vroom, come out already.
Grian: You know me, Scar, I don’t take any shit. You know what I say to my haters? Scar: What? Grian: I say: “Please don’t hate me, I’m really nice.”
Grian: Do you need anything from the store? Scar: Actually, yes. I have a list. Grian, reading: Epsom salts, coconut oil, baking soda, cornstarch, lavender essential oils… citric acid…? Scar: I’m making homemade bath bombs. Grian: Smokeless gunpowder?! Scar: I want to do it right!
Grian: I love cooking breakfast. It makes the whole house smell like bacon. Scar: That’s true, but it also smells like fire and panic. Grian: You and the smoke detector need to get off my case.
Scar: Happy Scorpio season. If you have to burn a bridge, do it safely! Grian: With NAPALM.
Grian: Ew. What kind of tea is this? Scar: I boiled gatorade.
Scar: I’ve never been in a snowball fight before. I don’t know the rules. Grian: What? Scar: Is there a point system, or is it to the death?
Grian: Whatever happened to the concept of less is more? Scar: But if less is more, then just think of how much more 'more' will be!
Scar: Hey, Grian, where are you going? Grian: Well, it depends. When I die, probably hell. Grian: But right now I’m going to McDonald’s.
Scar: I’ve only ever said ‘I love you’ to two people in my entire life: Grian and a guy in a dark club who I mistook for Grian.
Scar: You’re starting to look like me more and more every day— Grian: Bursts into tears Scar: Why are you crying? Grian: You’re ugly! I don’t want to look like you! sobs
Grian and Scar enter a dive bar Grian: Look, I know you’re disappointed but could we at least have a drink. Scar, in a scuba diving suit: I would like leave, please.
Grian: I am a ninja. Scar: No, you’re not. Grian: Did you see me do that? Scar: Do what? Grian: Exactly.
Grian: I feel like everyone on this island is suspicious, Scar. Except you! Scar: But Grian, I think you're suspicious! Grian: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Scar: Cool, any other secrets? Grian: I still sleep with the blanket I had as a baby. Scar: Awww- Grian, stern: I use it as a gag when taking people’s pets hostage. Scar: Scar: There’s no punch line ‘cause it’s not a joke isn’t it?
Grian: So what are your political beliefs? Scar, awkwardly trying to impress them: Well, I think Pikachu would be a lot more powerful if he had a gun.
Grian: I try to avoid pointless group activities. You know like school Christmas Parties or Jury Duty. To me, the most awful sound in the universe is that mangled first note of your peers singing happy birthday. Scar: Cool stance. Counterpoint: these are free cupcakes. Get over yourself and take one.

[SKZ Imprinted] Stray Kids: Dungeons & DragonsWerewolves (Spin-Off)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b2ed52fb0dcab8fe933620ae1e1e468c/d9d1d2ead544e71a-ad/s540x810/6c9235703fb91bbd003d823345c3b91f20c2fd11.jpg)
Characters: ot8 skz x ocs
Genre/warnings: college au, werewolf au (sort of), humor, minor angst. lots of d&d happening (coming from someone who knows very little about d&d), possible major character death in the beginning and the end but not really, a twist on dream theory
Word count: 2,976
Summary: What if it was all just one elaborate D&D campaign?
a/n: this wasn't requested i just thought this might be fun hehe
SKZ Imprinted Masterlist
This was it. This was the moment the entire pack had been waiting for.
Jungkook was back.
The only problem was it wasn't on the terms they'd hoped. They wanted Namjoon to track him down. They wanted the hunters to bring him to them under safe circumstances so they could be sure everyone on their side would be safe.
Instead, it was chaos.
Ryujin was held tightly in front of him, one of his strong arms wrapped around her to keep her there. In his other hand was a gun, the barrel pressed to her temple. Jungkook's wild eyes scanned the small crowd in front of him.
"Don't move," he threatened through clenched teeth, his jaw impossibly tight, "or I'll shoot."
But how could Minho not move? Of course he was going to do anything to save his mate, even if it meant putting his own life in danger.
He lunged forward, betting on his reflexes being faster than Jungkook's. The hunter moved his arm that held the gun to his sister's head and--
Bam!
The room froze, all eyes going from Ryujin to Minho as time seemed to slow. Chan's jaw dropped as he watched his brother fall to his knees in front of Jungkook. He saw the bullet come out from the back of Minho's head--
"No fuckin' way!"
Aeri slowly lifted her gaze from the two large books she propped up around her like a child in school taking an exam and trying to hide their test behind folders and binders. Spread out in front of her were more papers. But instead of her eyes being wide as she read off of the papers she had written and spent hours planning, she was now glaring at the cause of the interruption.
"Minho died?!" Hyunjin gasped, looking at the dungeon master with wide brown eyes.
"Well dumbass over here wanted to just lunge at Jungkook like a psychopath!" she stated, gesturing across the long table to the psychopath in question.
Minho still looked displeased, continuing his earlier outburst, "There's absolutely no shot I die there."
"There was actually a shot," Seungmin stated, "and you did die to it."
Minho continued to glare at Aeri as he grabbed his d20 without looking, while she scanned over her paperwork to make sure she was correct -- even though she knew she was. She had copies of all of their character sheets and had been keeping careful track of all of their stats. Minho definitely hit 0.
She looked up and nodded once, stating, "Roll."
It was her idea to start this D&D campaign. She actually came up with all of the characters and their backgrounds. She also decided to modify it to make it at least a little more realistic.
Originally, the eight boys were supposed to be part of a gang with all of them having different roles. But her boyfriend begged to be a werewolf, and then Seungmin decided he needed to be one, and it snowballed into all eight men banning together to create their werewolf pack.
Chan was their fearless alpha, which gave him an extra strength point just for that. Aeri assigned Minho as a Rogue, taking some inspiration from his slyness in real life. Changbin was a Rogue Barbarian, using a mix of stealth and brute force to take down any foes in his path. The others in the pack were simply 'Scholars', a class Aeri invented for this "realistic" campaign -- though, Hyunjin's character had a mysterious past that nobody knew details about, and they had yet to discover anything else about his possible class or alignment.
Overall, the girlfriends of the group were simple Human Scholars with their different alignments. The only exceptions were Jamie, and the sisters. Jamie's class and alignment were both unknown, though her character was a mostly non-verbal person with a lot of her thoughts, emotions, and past kept a mystery.
The youngest of the Jeon sisters was classified as a Fighter, while Elsie was a Werewolf Hunter -- another class Aeri invented, but said it was a sub-class of Fighter.
And their brother was made one of the villains, and was the current main villain. All because Aeri was upset he wouldn't join their campaign.
Minho's die hit the table. 14.
"One win," he smirked.
"Two more to go," Aeri reminded him.
"Wasn't there a rule last time about not going with Minho's first answer and letting the group decide?" Ankita recalled while the rolls for combat continued.
"Yeah, but it wasn't as fun," Aeri sighed. "I made an executive decision as DM to undo the rule."
"Honestly," Jamie spoke up, holding a steaming mug of tea between both hands, "it's his own fault for getting shot."
"It's Aeri's fault for rolling a 19!" Minho shouted, making Mari jump during her turn to roll, prematurely dropping the die on the table.
"Okay, okay," Chan stepped in to calm the group before they decided to gang up on his girlfriend, "let's remember this isn't the first time someone got shot -- and Elsie lived."
"Barely," she stated. "I literally met God, like, 3 times."
The bad thing about having a DM who only just recently got into D&D and only knew the bare minimum -- if that -- was that Aeri tended to just make things up as she went. She wasn't always sure when to roll Perception or Initiative or when to roll for one's literal life. So sometimes she just...made things up.
The good thing about having a DM like Aeri, though, was that things were always interesting. Sometimes she would throw things in as she went, even if they weren't pre-planned. Having her ex-boyfriend, Taehyung be the original bad guy along with her mutual friends with him was something she had planned all along, but she decided to really focus on Jungkook out of nowhere when he refused to join the campaign when she offered that one time he came over for the Halloween party. She had always planned for Elsie to be a Fighter, but decided last minute to add on Werewolf Hunter when her and Seungmin went on The World's Shortest Break just to tease them. She made the decision while they were actively rolling for their Abilities to lower Minho, Hyunjin, and Jisung's Intelligence and Wisdom scores despite what they had rolled because she just couldn't have them being smart in any universe.
The die hit the table again. 1.
Aeri smirked at Minho, "Two losses. Good luck, champ."
"Two?!" Minho exclaimed angrily. "But I--"
"If you roll less than 10, it's one loss. If you roll a 1, it counts for two," Seungmin explained before rolling his eyes. "Don't you pay attention to the rules?"
"Not when Chan's girlfriend makes up half of them!" he shouted, gesturing toward the DM at the head of the table.
All she did was stare back at Minho, glance around the table, and shrug.
"Some of us died several times and aren't complaining," Elsie reminded him.
"Babe, can you just roll?" Ryu whined softly. "This is supposed to be fun."
"It's fun when I'm not about to die!" he exclaimed again before tossing the die across the table, landing on Hyunjin's character sheets.
The younger boy looked down in front of him before looking up at Minho to tell him, "19."
Minho tossed his head back and loudly groaned before shouting, "Motherfucker!"
The rest of the table, however, was having a fantastic time watching Minho struggle. He was so close to an instant win, and they couldn't help but laugh at his failure.
"If you die, you can always have Yoongi bring you back to life," Minseo shrugged. "I don't see the problem."
"That was only because Yoongi showed up for one game night and he wanted to do something cool," Aeri stated. "If he's not here, he can't help you."
"That's a stupid rule and you know it," Minho huffed, rolling his eyes until they glared at Aeri.
"Not stupid. Intentionally mean," Hyunjin corrected.
Aeri just grinned, "If it wasn't so funny seeing Minho get this mad at a game, maybe the rules would be different."
"Monopoly may end friendships but DnD completely burns all bridges of friendship," Ankita said quietly as she stared down at the table, too afraid to look up in case she caught Minho's intense stare.
Minho blew on the die, mumbling, "C'mon, c'mon..."
Finally, with a deep breath that was slowly let out, Minho tossed the die onto the table. Everyone leaned over to see what the outcome was, some standing up from their seats to see. And...
Ryu cried out Minho's name, one hand reaching out for him as she squirmed to get away, but Jungkook just tightened his grip. Some of the pack stayed frozen, trying to process what had happened as Minho blood pooled on the floor around where he lay seemingly lifeless. Others fell to their knees, sobs wracking their bodies.
Chan was one of the few that hadn't yet processed what exactly had happened as he stared at Minho's body. But as he stared, he realized...he was still breathing. Was it possible that maybe, somehow, Jungkook hadn't used a silver bullet? Maybe he didn't have access to that after running away? Maybe there was a chance for Minho to live.
But they would have to act quickly.
"I try to distract Jungkook to get his attention off of Minho and avoid a finishing blow, and so Changbin can sneak around and attack," Chan stated for his turn.
Aeri nodded for him to roll the dice.
Slowly, the alpha put up his hands in surrender. Jungkook's gaze and gun immediately pointed to him, but Chan didn't even flinch.
"It doesn't have to end like this," he said slowly and calmly as he tentatively took a small step forward, testing the waters. Jungkok was shaking and had clearly lost all rational thought, but this was still a risk Chan was willing to take for his brother. "You don't want to hurt Ryujin -- I know you don't. You care about her. You just want your family back and for things to go back to normal. Trust me, I understand that. But...this isn't how you should go about it."
Changbin tried to pull himself together, sniffling as he wiped stray tears from his cheeks. His reddened eyes stay trained on Jungkook as he slowly and cautiously took a step to the side. He just wanted to get out of the rogue hunter's line of sight. But currently, Jungkook seemed to have tunnel-visioned onto Chan.
"You still have a chance to stop yourself from hurting her and making it worse," Chan assured Jungkook. His eyes were sincere, even if they were still blood red. "If you walk away now and let Minho go--"
"This isn't realistic literally at all," Elsie was the one to interrupt this time with a huff and a roll of her eyes.
Aeri froze, eyes wide in annoyance and staring at her sheet. She slowly moved her gaze to the older girl toward the other end of the table, "What now?"
"You really think Kookie wouldn't notice that absolute unit side-stepping away?" she snorted.
Jisung sighed, "Fine, I'll roll for distract--"
"No," Seungmin stated. "Every time you roll for speed when you're driving in serious situations, you end up going, like, 5 under."
"Fine, then you do it," Jisung told him in a sassy, high-pitched voice.
"For Minho? No."
"Your character would, though," Hyunjin reminded him.
Seungmin let out the loudest and most drawn-out groan before picking up his die and rolling it in his hand. He threw it on the table and immediately was beaming.
"15!"
However, his smile fell when he saw the way Aeri was looking at him, "What?"
Seungmin took a step forward to start running and immediately shifted, roaring at Jungkook as he lunged toward him. Jungkook's arm moved at lightening speed, and all Chan could do was cry out, "No!"
Jungkook shot Seungmin in the chest, but the distraction was still enough for Changbin to sneak up on the hunter and wrap one arm around his neck before forcing the gun out of his grasp with his other hand. Chan rushed to Ryu's aid to get her away from her brother before handing her off to Felix, who escorted the girl out of the room while she was kicking and screaming for Minho.
"How do I get shot?!" Seungmin demanded.
"Shut it, you're still alive. It wasn't a vital shot. Get a higher number next time," she said dismissively before going back to the story.
Jisung and Jeongin rushed to help Changbin subdue Jungkook, while Hyunjin went to the alpha's side as he examined the hurt wolves. Chan had rolled Minho onto his back and saw his chest was still rising and falling, even if it was shallow. He knew a bullet that wasn't made out of silver wouldn't kill him, but it could still wound him pretty badly. For all he knew, he could have permanent brain damage. And Seungmin could face something similar.
"We need to get them out of here," Chan breathed, trying to stay calm. "We need to get them to Josh and Aya."
"How are they still alive?" Hyunjin questioned. "It shouldn't be possible, right?"
Chan had his suspicion the bullet wasn't silver, but he had to make sure. His eyes scanned the floor until he found the bullet from Minho. Without even thinking about it, he reached for it, hissing in pain as it immediately sizzled against his skin.
His eyes widened.
"Roll to kill Jungkook!" Changbin shouted out of turn.
Aeri immediately turned to him, "Can you wait your turn? It's technically Jeongin's anyway."
"Roll to kill Jungkook!" Jeongin cheered with a wide grin.
"Don't you have the lowest stats?" Jisung asked.
"No, I'm way smarter than you are."
"Are you sure?" Aeri asked, her tone serious as she looked across the table at the youngest. "If you don't roll high enough, it could end badly for you."
"What, another fake shot?" Minho scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"No."
All eyes went to Aeri. This was very crucial information to the campaign. She was warning them that this time, there would be a very real death for Jeongin's character. There would be no going back.
"I don't want to spoil anything, but...I know this run means a lot to you guys so far. So...just a warning," she told him with a shrug. "Are you sure?"
The group looked around between each other. The girls didn't really have much to do with the current predicament, so it was something the boys had to work out. But ultimately, they decided it was Jeongin's decision. Did he think he would be lucky enough to roll a number high enough to actually get rid of the biggest villain thus far in the campaign?
Jeongin stared at his d20. Did he think he could do it? Did he even want to risk it? But if he pulled it off, it would be so cool. And it would be such a big accomplishment within the campaign. They could move onto something new or even expand Ryu and Elsie's lore with this. Overall, the opportunities for Jeongin pulling this off would be great for the group.
But if he failed...
Jeongin lifted his hand, pausing like he was second-guessing if he should pick up the die. But then his hand moved forward again.
"You're killing me off?"
The majority of the group at the table jumped. Hyunjin even let out a gasp and almost fell into Mari's lap as he put a hand to his chest.
"What are you doing here?" Ryu whined, looking at her twin brother that had just walked into Jeongin's parents' dining room.
"Didn't you tell me to pick you guys up at 9?" Jungkook asked, checking his phone again to make sure he had the time right.
Jisung's eyes widened, "It's already 9?!"
"It's passed my bedtime..." Ankita mumbled.
"Oh, shit," Chan chuckled as he also checked the time on his phone. "Didn't realize it was already ending time."
"But it was just getting good!" Minseo whined.
"And I'm on death's door with chucklehead over there," Minho scowled, pointing his thumb over his shoulder to Seungmin. "We can't just leave it like this!"
"If you guys are killing me, shouldn't I fight for myself?" Jungkook asked.
Aeri scoffed, "No! You didn't want to join the campaign to begin with!"
"Yeah, but now my life is on the line," he countered. "Can't I join in at least for the boss battle?"
"We don't even know if Jeongin is gonna go for it," Jamie said.
"And we apparently won't know until next week," Aeri sighed as she slapped one of her books closed.
"Well," Jungkook began as everyone started collecting their belongings and standing up from their chairs to leave, "maybe I'll hang around next week to see what happens."
Aeri eyed the boy up and down, eyes narrowed. She had wanted him to join... Maybe letting him play his own boss battle -- if it happened -- would be interesting. Even if Jeongin didn't go through with it, just watching the group play might convince Jungkook to join.
She grabbed Jungkook's character sheets, and the notes from the campaign so far from her folder and slapped them into his chest, "Study up, buddy."
"Alright, dingdong," Elsie walked up behind her younger brother and reached up to mess up his hair, "let's roll."
Jungkook shot her a dirty look, "Can you not?"
"Bye, guys!" Ryujin called as she put a hand on her brother's back to guide him out behind Elsie.
"Can't believe we're leaving it on a cliffhanger..." Changbin mumbled, clearly unsatisfied with the current ending.
Aeri just shrugged with a sweet smile, "Isn't that what this campaign does best?"

hold me steady
joel miller x f!reader, jackson era, fluff, nonsexual praise kink (is that a thing?)
no smut, just fluff | 1.5k words
Joel teaches you how to shoot a sniper while on your first patrol, praising you all the while.
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷--------------------------------------------------------------------
As pretty as it was, winter in Jackson was your least favorite.
Especially when you were put on patrols.
The white snow crunched beneath your boot-clad feet as you and Joel traversed the mountainside looking out for Infected, the cold seeping through your jeans and coat.
The patrol was going smoothly with barely any Infected showing up on the well-worn path. And when one did, Joel took it out easily, or you managed to shoot them with your pistol before they could land a hit. For your first patrol, it wasn’t bad at all. And Joel helped ease the small seed of anxiety in your stomach.
He walked a few steps ahead of you, pistol at the ready as you both trudged through the white forest toward a cliffside.
“You doin’ alright back there?” he called out to you.
“Yep! Just fine,” you responded, hands clenched over your own pistol. You had only shot it a few times before in training and the couple of times you and Joel had come face to face with an Infected on this outing.
You were out with Joel for a purpose: to practice.
Joel was proficient in anything dealing with Infected. Stabbing, fist fighting, shooting, you name it—he knew.
You were…not as well versed. You had been in a QZ for most of your life, working as a teacher. Things in the QZ weren’t good by any means, but it was better than fighting for yourself out in no man’s land. However, that ended when Fireflies launched several attacks on the QZ. Thankfully, you had managed to escape, although narrowly.
You were left stumbling around in Wyoming after that, doing your best to avoid Infected. All you had was the switchblade FEDRA gave all their school teachers and a few MREs in your pack.
Then, a patrol from Jackson had found you, freezing, hungry, and alone and they thankfully took you in.
You worked as a teacher for them, too, helping the little kids of Jackson learn about history and math, and English. You loved it. Jackson was so much kinder than the QZ. However, they did require everyone older than 18 to partake in patrols every now and then. You hadn’t been on one yet, having been only briefly trained on how to hold a gun and shoot.
With school out for the holidays, now was the perfect time for your first patrol, and Joel Miller was the one to take you.
You had met him a couple of times before at the Tipsy Bison and at the few community events they held in Jackson. He was a kind man, if not a bit rugged, and you couldn’t help the feelings for him that had begun to form after your interactions. And, he seemed to reciprocate them, too.
Joel didn’t exactly fit the rumors you had heard of him: that he was villainous, ruthless, and merciless. You could sense that those qualities were hidden away inside him, but that they were only used in dire situations. And Ellie had told you as much when you and she became more acquainted.
You loved Ellie. She and Dina would pop over to the school and have snowball fights with the kids or play tag with them. It warmed your heart to see the kids enjoy a life that wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the founders of Jackson.
Or for the patrols that kept it safe.
Joel held up a hand and you stopped, holding your breath. You could hear it before he even pointed it out: the wailing of Infected. They sounded far enough away, but they could still be a potential threat to Jackson.
Joel waved you forward and you both crouched behind a boulder, peering across the cliffside to hone in on the stray Infected huddling over a carcass of a deer. You tucked your pistol into the back of your jeans.
“What do we do?” You whispered. They were too far to fire at with the pistol, and the valley between you and them was too wide to jump across. Thankfully, that meant they wouldn’t be able to get to you, but it also meant you couldn’t get to them.
Joel reached behind him and grabbed the sniper slung over his shoulder. “We take ‘em out.” He looked down at you and held out the weapon. “You ever shoot one of these?”
You reared back, staring at the gun with wide eyes. You were a little scared having only handled a much smaller gun, but a part of you was curious, excited even, to be taught to handle one of this caliber. “No, I haven’t.”
“Take it, I’ll show you.”
He handed it to you. It was heavier than you thought (Joel made it look as light as a feather) and you fumbled a bit, accidentally pointing the barrel at him. His eyes widened in surprise and he laughed, guiding the barrel away from him and towards the cliffside with two fingers. “Easy…”
“Sorry—”
“You’re fine, darlin’.”
With the gun in your hold, Joel brought down the stands and propped it over the top of the boulder. He guided it so that the back of the gun hit the crook of your shoulder, snug in the folds of your big jacket.
“Alright, lean down so that your cheek lines up with the stock,” he guided, and you followed. “Good, put your hand here, the other goes up here. Keep your finger off the trigger.”
You listened, doing exactly as he said. “You’re doin’ great, much better listener than Ellie was.”
You laughed, hands shaking a bit around the gun, but Joel’s praise had you warming up amidst the freezing cold. You could imagine Ellie groaning about being told what to do, or whining when she didn’t make the shot, and you giggled quietly into the gun, then you remembered what you were giggling into and you froze.
“You okay?” Joel asked you, voice soft.
You nodded and swallowed your trepidation as you stared at the murder machine in your grip. “Yeah… I’m fine.”
“Good,” he gave your back a comforting rub with a large, gloved hand. “I want you to get used to the feelin’ of it. It’s not gonna be kind to you when you pull that trigger, so hold her close, like you’re ‘bout to lose her.”
You side-eyed him, thinking that perhaps he was joking, but Joel’s eyes were hard. He was stern as he peered down at you, and you felt a bit antsy, as if you were about to be graded on your performance.
You instead focused your attention on the task at hand rather than how he was making you feel, and tried to follow along, holding the sniper tight but not too tight to where you were uncomfortable. Just tight enough to where you felt it wouldn’t leave your side, just like he said.
“Okay…now what?”
“Now look through that scope and find your first target. Make sure ya leave room for the bullet to drop. Aim it a lil’ bit higher than your target.”
You did as he said, watching the reticle of the scope lift up above the head of a snarling Infected.
“Okay, got it.”
“Good job, darlin’. Now, take a deep breath in and slowly breathe it out, squeeze the trigger like you love it—nice and slow. Steady.”
You breathed in, your nerves taking over. The deep breath helped, but you knew it would be loud—you couldn’t brace yourself for the sound. After a long wavering moment, you squeezed the trigger.
BOOM!
When you opened your eyes, the Infected was still standing.
“What—?”
“You flinched. And you closed your eyes.”
“Oh." How did you manage to mess up so badly? "I’m sorry.”
“No worries, let’s try again, okay?"
You nodded and he instructed you again. "Pull back on that lever to eject the cartridge.” You followed, flinching a little when the cartridge flew out and sunk into the snow.
Anxiety gripped your throat. “Joel, I don’t know if I can do this—”
“You can, baby.” He shuffled in closer, his warmth transferred to you as he laid his hands over yours. His chest pressed into your back. He squeezed your palms around the rifle and you relaxed into him. “Breathe. Line up. You’ve got this.”
You’ve got this.
If Joel believed in you, you could do it.
You took a deep breath and peered through the scope, lined it up with the Infected, and aimed a little bit higher to make room for the bullet to drop.
“One…two…three…shoot.”
You loosed your breath and pulled the trigger like you loved it right on his command without hesitation, and Joel held you steady, body warm as he curled around you, arms strong as he gripped the sniper right along with you. The gun didn’t jerk this time and the sound wasn’t as bad since you knew it was coming. The bullet flew across the cliffside, and the Infected across the way wailed as the round sunk into its skull, collapsing to the ground.
“That’s it. Good girl.” Joel praised, patting your back and squeezing your arm. “I’m proud of you.”
You grinned and looked up at him. His eyes focused on you with pride, and a smile pulled at his lips. “Can you do another for me?”
For Joel? You’d do anything. Especially if it meant he’d look at you like that again.
You ejected the cartridge and lined up again. “Yeah, I can.”

What is your headcanon With Adam parents?Since the prologue is vague there are a lot of options:both dead,abandoned him to the servants cause “yeah he’s like our plan Z In case we need him as new ruler”,abandoned him when he became a beast (didn’t hesitate to point a gun at him) or whatever “this kid was the results of my husband/wife cheating”
I assume they’re dead and Adam is a Prince in the way that Prince Harry’s son is a Prince- far down the line and will never take the throne. That explains why no one in the Royal family would come looking for him. Even given the collective amnesia of the village, the Royal Family of any Kingdom would keep extensive records. I’m not sure about France, but in England and Spain, there’s even instances of children born out of wedlock being recorded as they were favored by their parents, their other parent was still a high ranking noble, etc.
A Prince that was meant to rule the Kingdom one day wouldn’t slip through the cracks like that. Even if forgotten, record keepers would show him. There would be evidence of previous announcements and celebrations that would be hard for the Royal Family to ignore. However, if he’s so far back in the line of succession that there’s basically a snowball’s chance in Hell he’ll get the throne (say he’s the son of the 6th Prince, and all other 5 Princes have two kids, okay so he’s still 17th in line), then it makes sense that no one came to find him, or at least double check records to make sure he didn’t exist.
Also, someone would have at least come to maintain the castle if he was an heir to the throne. He would have learned to read much younger than 10. It just doesn’t make sense that his parents would be alive and he would be so undereducated and in such a state imo.

You are free to ignore this but I have to share this as I think it's important to share.
Winndy, like me, was a member of that server since it's very start. The server thrived as a community based off, clearly, the main thing it was about/created for, but also because a lot of creative people joined at the time. We had memes, we had art, we had even sitting down muted in vc with silly songs.
It truly felt like a cozy safe space, at least at the start.
However it wasn't always perfect. That place had individuals that would shake the safe space, individuals that did FAR worse things that what Winndy is being cornered over. I am talking about someone in vc ignoring trigger warnings despite constant reminder, being actively rude to the point of making others cry, directly being rude to someone for their pronouns (to the point I had to come forward to defend them because no one else was doing it) and even a person constantly harrassing others with very lewd types of conversations.
Yet none of them were treated as roughly and straight up "exposed" them to others after they left. I am not here to point out who or what did worse, it is genuinely something I don't care enough to start playing judge here. But this is definitely not the way they could've solved things and this feels like trying to make someone look like they've completely "broken" a "safe space" when it has, genuinely, stopped being that a long time ago, and it wasn't for something like this.
People are adults there. People can decide what to pour their time, love and attention to. Winndy isn't pointing a gun at anyone for them to pay attention to their creativity/art. This is a snowball that spiraled into what turned in today.
I wish the best for everyone, but mostly, I hope people understand where Winndy is coming from and why this was just the last straw.
I did not wish to make this, I do not wish to bring bad light to others, so I am doing everything I can in this statement to keep it as vague as possible to grant others the same privacy I should have. But because my privacy was not respected I have no choice but to come forward with this.
If you know what I am talking about, then this is my side of things. If you don't know what I am talking about, then please move on.
(Also to note, I realize what day I am posting this on. This is absolutely NOT a joke.)
To preface this. My dad died suddenly Feb 26th. I cannot begin to detail what it feels like to lose him, after I've lost many others, to try and handle my emotions and grief while also handling the logistics of his belongings and estate, all this while having to write this on top of it. If I come across as intense, this is why.
I was in a discord server when it first opened. I dedicated a lot of time, energy, art and passion to it. I was even a mod at one point but stepped down due to my own reasons.
While there, we had an anonymous survey posted to gather information from the community about the server, what we could do to improve, what was liked and so on. Instead, some used it as a means to anonymously complain about members. I was a target of these complaints.
A quick note. This server was made within a community that has suffered MANY hardships due to anons. Keep this in mind.
One of the rules is that if you have a personal grievance with another member, to try to resolve it through DMs before coming to a mod or to even send in a ticket.
I must be clear; I was NEVER DMed by anyone how I made them uncomfortable. Not once. Nor were these complaints directly messaged to the mods. This was all through the survey (I will touch up more on this later).
I and other staff/mods that used to be on the team suggested we remove the anonymity. It's too risky for it to be abused, because as noted earlier, this community has suffered a lot through abuse from anons. This suggestion was ignored.
Now, I suppose I should say what the complaints were about. I was told I made others uncomfortable due to, and I am paraphrasing here; "talking over others, redirecting conversations back to myself and my ocs, and making too many jokes and insults about characters."
I will also say. I am autistic. What was mentioned are signs of someone with autism. My dad was autistic. I do not bring this up to deflect or excuse anything, merely to give further context.
I want to explain a bit of my process when I interact with others, in this case especially pertaining to an online space.
When I am talking with someone, anyone, I try to be as inclusive and welcoming as I can be. Saying hello, how they’re doing, that sort of thing. But a conversation is a two way street. If I don’t get a reply or any sort of means to keep the conversation going, I move on. That’s just… how talking goes. I can get very passionate in talking to folks, especially friends and things in line with my interests. It’s hard for me to notice if folks are uncomfortable in person, online it is impossible to tell. I need people to tell me directly if I am doing something uncomfortable and what it is, and if I can fix it.
My process for ocs is this: I see someone talking about their oc, they say something that reminds me of one of mine, then I share my oc. This is not to direct the conversation to me, but to share in it, it is in conjunction. I want to learn more of yours and I do that best by sharing mine. I cannot know if this isn't what you want if I am not told. And I wasn't.
I like to make jokes about characters, analyze them, critique them. I try to do this in a way that makes it clear this isn't an insult to those who like the character(s). But again, I need to be told directly by someone if I need to stop or tone it down. I would only be told sparingly by folks, and when I would, of course I'd stop, do my best to tone it down. But again, I was rarely told directly by people.
What is being described as my crimes are simply the experience of being autistic.
I cannot control it. I cannot stop it. I try to be as inclusive, warm and welcoming to all I come across. You do not HAVE to like me. But if you don't, just ignore me. You HAVE to learn to ignore people who you just… don't like. You have to learn to ignore pet peeves or to reasonably talk to the person. That's life.
So, when I received the above message, I was furious. I was at my dad’s apartment, cleaning out his stuff, and dealing with some harrowing emotions when I got this. I responded that getting this was extremely poor timing and yes, I was angry. But the one who sent this KNEW my dad died. They had seen me post about it, they acknowledged it, and still decided to message me. Who wouldn’t be angry?
Because of what I had been messaged, and the timing, I had decided to go to the owner of the server. I did not feel like it was appropriate for a mod, any mod, to message me about something that is a personal issue that folks should have messaged me themselves (and again, it is listed in the rules that things SHOULD be talked out privately between members before a mod gets involved), in a time that has been hell on earth for me.
I explained to the server owner what all happened with my feelings on the matter. I said that regardless, I would leave the server, because this was something that no one, absolutely no one, should experience. I requested for anything I contributed to the server to be removed, for I no longer felt comfortable for folks to use my art who could be the very same ones pettily using an anonymous survey to speak ill of me. So I sent my message, waited, and got a response.
I do not have anything against the server owner, but there are a few things that I must address with their response as well, because some are factually incorrect. There is full admittance to the complaints received through the anonymous survey, most recently at that. This goes counter to the rules stated that members should resolve private disputes amongst themselves first. (Again please note the screenshots of the rules.)
While perhaps not all of the mods knew of my dad’s passing, but enough DID that they should have known better. I posted briefly in the server in a slow thread so it could be better seen by people, including the mods. I had posted on tumblr as well. But the claim is no one saw it.
Again. This is just not true. Look to the above screenshots.
I do not have a screenshot of when I had sent the message initially in the server of my dad’s passing (I apologize for this), but the point being is that people knew. Another member messaged me in DMs to give their condolences. While I am and have been open about his passing, I also tried my best to not talk too much about it in the server as to bring down the mood, and I sought out the server and talked there as a source of comfort. Saying this was not clear to anyone, is false.
Now, I am sorry that I made people uncomfortable, it was never my intention to, and I will take fault in that. That isn’t what I mean to address in all this. The issue is; if people were uncomfortable, they needed to follow the rules and come to me DIRECTLY stating such, NOT give these complaints through an anonymous survey. And that I should NOT have been told during such an awful period. How can I take this at face value when I am not offered the same?
I wish to point out as well, why I kept bringing up the anonymous survey, and to bring back a note I made earlier.
There is a great deal of falsehood in using an anonymous survey to gather information, when this community has experienced a lot of hardship from anons. I have seen many people torn down and even chased out of this community and others because of people hiding behind anon. Creators, fans, and yes members, mods and even the server owner have all been victim to negativity from anons.
Now, I also must bring attention to this.
This is a screenshot I was sent of another mod posting, after I left. This is ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY. This is why I feel the need to make this statement. Giving details like this is completely unnecessary, and with this said after I left is unacceptable.
I am sorry to be redundant, but I truly am sorry if I ever did make people uncomfortable. All I wanted to do was to make friends and share in the joy in creating art and characters with others. To share space in a community with something I truly found enjoyable. It’s why I’d get enthusiastic whenever OC’s were brought up and I’d share mine. I also wanted to share joy in the topic of the server, and yes some of that for me IS making jokes about characters or even giving critique.
I am not saying any of this to bad mouth or slander anyone. I say all of this to express my side of things. Someone who is grieving the loss of their dad, and so many others who came before him that are making me remember now because of his passing.
#Important#I will not be addressing anything further about this. As I am in no interest to return to that community or even the thing it was based off#Please stay safe but most important of all: Be kind and respectful to those that gave their time from the start to help the community grow#You are pointing at someone for being active in a community#If your server is struggling to make people safely talk u have to think what you can do to make it work better#that's the responsability of a mod and server owner.#that's all I have to say

fic title: "The dead play with the street children and the children protect the dead."
The dead play with the street children and the children protect the dead
Oooh okay, first of all, I love this sentiment so much and I have far too many ideas for it, but we're sticking with one which got way too far out of hand!!! Sorry!
Danny Phantom, Maddie's pov
It's summer and it's roasting. It's the kind of heat that you can taste, and Maddie Fenton is braving the outside so she can surprise everyone with some much needed ice cream.
The arms of her jumpsuit are tied around her waist and her tanktop is already soaked in sweat, but it'll be worth it when she sees her family happy.
Or rather, when she sees Jack happy. She's sure she'll see Jazz happy, too, but Danny... Lately, it seems to be a coin toss whether she'll see him at all.
At least with the heat, ghost attacks have slowed down to almost nothing and she can try and get some proper mother-son bonding time in.
Part of her wonders if there's a reason for it - if high temperatures affect the structure of ectoplasm in such a way as to render a ghost incapable of functioning at their full capacity (ghosts and colder temperatures have always been linked, surely the inverse would make sense) and whether that can be translated into weaponry. A concentrated heat blast to melt a ghost?
But, she thinks with a sigh, that can wait for another day. It's far too hot to be thinking of concentrated heat blasts. Distantly, she can hear the children laughing and shouting in the park, no doubt splashing in the fountains to cool off.
Once upon a time, Danny and Jazz used to laugh and scream together while playing in there as well, but they're too grown up for it now.
Too grown up to do anything with their parents it seems, but that's fine! All teenagers go through it, as she keeps reminding herself, it's just a phase. They'll grow out of it.
In the meantime, there's always ice cream to help smooth over the cracks.
She turns the corner towards where she knows the ice cream truck awaits and she glances towards the fountain with a soft smile at the children's antics already on her face - and freezes, terrified and angry, at the sight there.
What the hell is it doing here? That... that thing? It's not noticed her yet, too busy accosting the children to pay her any attention, throwing balls of snow into the air with a sharp, twisting cackle.
Maddie's blood runs cold as he dives into the fountain, the water around him growing thick with ice - does he mean to trap the children under the surface? How is no one stopping this?
Why are their parents not fighting to get them out, to save them? She looks around at all the smiling faces and she wants to scream, how can they call themselves parents?
When the ghost boy picks up a child and floats them in the air, their ankles kicking up the slushy water, Maddie sees red. She whips out her ankle blaster (why wasn't she wearing her jumpsuit properly, this is what she gets for letting her guard down!) with a wordless cry that's drowned out by the playful screams of the children.
The ecto-blast gets everyone's attention soon enough.
The effect is instantaneous - parents scramble to get their children out of the fountain safely (better late than never), the ghost boy puts down the child, who stumbles forward when Phantom pushes him to move quicker.
Despicable, really, how he's still trying to hurt the poor boy even when she's pointing a gun right at his core. Maddie's proud that her aim doesn't falter even as rage grips her heart.
How dare he try to hurt children? How dare he?
She opens her mouth to give the ecto-scum a piece of her mind but before she can say anything, before she can even squeeze the trigger, a snowball hits her square in the face and her shot goes wide.
Another ghost?
She squints, her cheek burning with cold, and finds... little Sally from down the street, her dress soaked, and cheeks red with anger as she shouts, "Don't you hurt my friend!"
It's simple to cartwheel back and dodge her next throw, but she's not so lucky when another snowball hits her on the back, followed by the little boy from the fountain shouting "Yeah, leave him alone!"
She curses as another one hits her knee, turning wildly with her gun still raised, trying to get a clean sight on Phantom, but of course the spook has already vanished.
The only thing he left behind is a rapidly depleting stack of snowballs and children screaming for a different, fun new game.
#danny phantom#ask game#this just became a fic instead of an outline huh#im so bad at keeping things little#my other idea for this was dpxdc where phantom finds himself having to survive on the streets of gotham#and ingratiating himself with all the kids about#and it's only when red hood (who also tries to look out for the kids) notices and starts asking questions that they become very protective#which is just so unfair on poor jason - he's been doing his best to help them for years and the minute#he asks them for information what does he get? a kick in the shins and a middle finger for his efforts#honestly it just makes him want to know even more haha#anyway i hope you enjoy!!!#i have another three of these left to do please dont send me any more i am drowning haha#jokes i love them theyre so much fun#my writing#cab writes

Your assignment was to initiate a snowball fight in the square, not attempt first degree murder…"
The warmind pointed out cooly as Felwinter examined the ingloriously hard chunk of snow coverd ice, with intent optics.
"What? You think I'd throw this at someone? I've no interest in harming civilians…how resilient are titans you say?" The exo inquired darkly as he stared at the Vzdokhnut's store front.
"Felwinter, if you cannot initiate your assigned objective, I will not hesitate to-"
"Im on it..I'm just working out how to do this…" Felwinter grit out as the Exo awkwarldy grabbed a fistful of snow, the cold white material was wet and squishy, it weighed noticably more then earth's snow, yet much more easily merged together…
For a long moment he stared at the snow melting slowly in his hands, and as he studied the pristine frail microscopic crystals for some incredulously inane reason, Felwinter was griped by the sudden urge to taste the fluffy white substance, however Rasputin put a stop to the Exo's reckless train of thought as if he was still linked to the Felwinter's mind..
"Eroupa is comprised of 84% ice, and 16% organic matter, of that 84% at least 22% of that is comprised of nonindigenous bacterial pathogens, while 19% of the remaining 62% is contaminated by naturally occuring radiation…I am confident your inorganic organs may no doubt flush the poisoning easily from your system, however, there could be possible harm inflected on your lesser organs before any potentially harmful contaminants are efficiently purged, It would be unfortunate to have to replace them Siddhartha."
While the snow did look tantalizingly pure, the Exo dropped the scandalous melting snowball, he wouldn't test Resputin's readiness to replace his organics with superior upgrades, almost constantly he wondered why they colonize such a hell hole, the sheer idiocy was beyond Felwinter..
"Spring won't like this, she loves the damn snow, now all we have is this crap.." The Exo sneered as he envisioned Spring's dismay at not being able to play in the snow.
"I have scheduled an appointment, to have the two of you inoculated, however it has been post poned, until further notice you are not to let her engage with the snow of Europa"
"You dont have to tell me that, ill keep her safe."
"I dont doubt you would, now if you would, pick up the snow ball and hurl it at the closest target, think of it as…target practice, these are intruders and they are on my lawn, erradicate them" the warmimd commands way too comfortable with the malice that radiates from his reverse russian words.
Felwinter's optics nerrowed in on a group of innocent bystanders, two babbling warlocks refilling the festive sidewalk urns with solar energy as they bicker back and fourth with a hunter, who was warming their hands beside them.
Their public generosity did little to spare them, they were figuratively on his lawn and that wouldn't do…not at all.
"Rodger.." The Exo breathed as he grabbed a fist full of snow to form a renewed snowball, he wielded it as if it were a void garnade, and for a while his victims were none the wiser, at least not until the hunter perceptive as ever, took note of his approach and visably stiffened, not that it mattered because by the time his hand raised, they did a very hunter thing, dodging out of the way and to safety, leaving behind the two confused warlocks as oblivious sitting ducks.
Felwinter's artificial heart would have bled for them and the betrayal they faced, he would have considered sparing them if only he gave a damn.
Unfortunately they were not spring, Elsie or Osiris.
So no, he didn't give a single damn about hurling the snowy garnade into the face of one of his victims, they screeched on their way down as if shot by a double barrel shot gun…with really good range…their anguish..it felt liberating…
the other warlock had fallen over in the alarm, staring in horror at their obliterated fallen comrade, the terror in there eyes did not move the Exo as he slowly advanced on them, they scrabbled back begging for mercy but for all it was worth, it was pointless after he grabbed another handful.
But just as he was about to land the killing blow on his prey, Felwinter felt a impact followed closely by a shock of cold against his neck, his scarlet eyes slid to the side to fix the sly coward of a hunter with a leer that would scare the gun ammo off a cabal.

Please don't mind me, I'm only saying this outside the tags because I hit the limit 😅. This is going under a readmore since I talk in paragraphs.
Anyway, I think Tonis taking the place of Hoppered being a possibility does have credibility in regards to how Tristamp as a story is being told in comparison to how Trimax was. In Trimax (well‚ the og Trigun manga)‚ the manga opens with Lost July. Speaking with the perspective of a reader going in blind‚ you have no idea what the true significance of this scene is. It's a giant zero-context scene dropped on you right at the start. A whole lot of "who‚ what‚ when‚ why‚ how?" since 'where' is already answered, albeit not very obviously— but you're left figuring it out as the pieces are slowly handed to you and forming the more defined picture of what happened.
The showing of Hoppered's past and why he's a Gung-Ho Gun bent on trying to get vengeance on Vash is something that only works with how the Trigun manga itself starts off. Because we're slowly getting more and more information about this major event that permanently and drastically altered the events of the world and its characters. Hoppered's backstory is another piece of information about that tragedy; another piece of information that lets us learn even more about Vash, and it makes him memorable and very important as a character himself within the setting of the story.
It's this steady revealing of information using Lost July as the starting point that makes Hoppered as a character hold so much weight.
With Tristamp taking place before the destruction of Julai, Hoppered no longer 'works' as a character because we see what Julai was like before it was lost and from what we saw, there were hardly any people there to make the city actually feel like it had such a largely proclaimed populace before its destruction.
Yes, the plot was snowballing and there wasn't really an opportune time to cut away and show Hoppered's backstory during the time Vash was in Julai— like an episode or half of one dedicated to the peoples and ways of life in Julai which could have shown Hoppered for a bit to set him up as someone from Julai who managed to be one of the few survivors and has a reason why he wants to kill Vash— but not doing something at least akin to that will later dampen his impact as a character (if he does actually show up in Tristamp).
Because the Julai we see is one that we are just informed has a lot of people. It's already been mentioned by others just how empty Julai looks and feels, that it makes the destruction of it not have as much impact as it does in Trimax (and again! In Trimax we don't see what a lot of what July was like before it was destroyed outside of Vash's memories which are in themselves part of what makes July's destruction so impactful).
So Hoppered not being shown at what would have been the perfect time in terms of storytelling to establish him as a character kind of weakens the impact he will have if he does appear. Because like... showing Julai full of life and people well after we saw it when it still existed would be kind of immersion breaking (especially since it very much didn't look all that full of life during the episodes that took place there. Like, bro where was everyone?? What are you talking about?) and imo‚ kinda bad.
But Tonis... with how he's been established, he fills the same role that Hoppered has almost perfectly.
It's like duncanor said:
"There's also folks speculating on Tonis becoming a Gun by replacing Hoppered.. Which is a possibility. He lost an arm, he lost his town and with Rosa heavily depressive state, he might also lose his family, effectively becoming an orphan with no home to go to. Perfect candidate for the Guns. Especially he has all the reasons to hate the Humanoid Typhoon after this."
Tonis growing up to hate Vash and want vengeance for the destruction of his home, Jeneora Rock, fills the same role Hoppered has of wanting vengeance for the destruction of July.
That Tonis could desire vengeance for what he deems as Vash being at fault for the destruction of Jeneora Rock just like how Vash destroying July in Trimax was both an accident on his part and predominantly the fault of Knives. Knives destroyed Jeneora Rock in Tristamp as collateral for Vash just so happening to be there (it's not his fault‚ but it's the in-universe reason we are given if I remember correctly, and thus likely what Tonis could be lead to hypothetically believe).
With there being no set up for Hoppered during the time Vash was in Julai— which was the only time we got to see what Julai was like when it was full of life and outside of just Vash's memories— he feels like he comes out of nowhere. This isn't the case for Trimax since we start off at Lost July and can only see what comes after. In Tristamp we see events from before, so it wouldn't make much sense from a storytelling standpoint to not introduce— even in the background— a character tied to such an important event, as doing so would have the effect of making the story feel more cohesive and stronger overall once that seemingly innocuous character shows up later with a vengeance.
But Tonis being someone whose home we see bustling with life before being destroyed, and said destruction being tied with Vash‚ it does the exact thing I was talking about above. Him being at least a Gun (rather a Chekhov's Gunman) is highly likely given his interest in bugs as stated, and it being subtly implied that the reason why the Guns and Knives attacked Jeneora Rock to take the Plants right when Vash just so happened to be there, was because of the worm in that box he had.
If Tonis does end up becoming a Gung-Ho Gun, it would be a perfect parallel to Rollo who was also a child Vash cared about and wanted to save, only for him to become resentful and want to kill Vash when he failed to uphold his promise and what had become of him as a result of that being the near-complete loss of his humanity.
And well... we saw what happened to Rollo in the end.
Tbh, I've wondered each time I've rewatched if Tonis's arm is the only major loss in Rosa's family with the whole Knives fiasco. I don't know enough about pregnancy orhealth in general to have more than a vague idea, but the Nebraska garbage, E.G. the Mine, and then Knives going down can't be good for that baby
(I also hope, someday, when they're all less immediately traumatized, both Meryl and Vash get to meet up with the two again because I think both Tonis and Rosa would be thankful that their lives were saved when, you know. Not in the immediate, horrifying aftermath. And both Meryl and Vash could use hearing that)
#trigun#tristamp#studio orange#tonis#i am so sorry for this. i have no idea if i'm just saying a whole lot of nothing or talking in circles. it's generally v hard for me to#put my thoughts into words and i'm not good at being concise (if you can tell from the many paragraphs‚ em-dashes‚ and use of parenthesis)#this is just me musing aloud‚ this whole thing would've been relegated to the tags if 30 actually managed to be enough 😞#i know studio orange was pressed for packing in as much plot as possible since tristamp was a gamble that they weren't sure was going to#do well and that could be why— in the event hoppered /isn't/ replaced— they didn't take any unnecessary detours in showing off the world#of no man's land and the ppl living in it. if it didn't serve an immediate purpose like jeneora rock did‚ they didn't waste time or effort#on it (which if i remember correctly was also the reason why vash had like... *none* of his whimsy/goofiness? in s1? and they said that it#would be there come s2). ... probably could've said that better. what i mean is‚ they didn't spend more time or effort than necessary to#make the world of no man's land feel alive and like people are realistically just trying to survive and have the best lives they can on a#planet like that. the ppl we do see outside of jeneora rock (and home to an extent) feel more like props than actual ppl if that#makes sense

I have a few more winter prompt ideas for the NFL AU! Take your pick or do all of them if you want! 😄 1) This is for any of the snow ones (first snowfall/building snow people or sculptures/snow angels/snow down the back of the neck/catching snowflakes on your tongue/taking pictures in the snow): It's film review day at the practice facility and it starts snowing really heavily. Someone on the team notices and runs out to the practice field to make a snow angel/snowman & they convince the rest of the team to come out and play in the snow. Fluff & shenanigans ensue. Maybe also the team's social media team manages to grab some candid footage of the whole thing, posts it, and something Jake & Ronnie do in the background gets the fans speculating as to their relationship. 2) Building a gingerbread house - Ronnie convinces Jake to invite the team (or at least the rest of the offense/other TEs) over to his place for a gingerbread house decorating party.
3) Secret Santa or other gift exchange/White Elephant gift exchange - A team gift exchange of some kind? Maybe Jake gets Ronnie for secret Santa? Or Ronnie gets Jake?
I love every single one of these, get ready for some classic annie bullet points
okay so with the one with the playing in the snow on the practice field
it's definitely mickey that goes out into the snow first
mickey is baby in every universe, and no one can say no to him
so when he runs out and starts yelling at everyone to join, they roll their eyes affectionately and go out onto the practice field with him
and i think pretty much every snow activity would be taking place lol
snowball fights, making snowmen, snow angels, EVERYTHING and it's glorious cause it's just a bunch of huge beefy dudes playing in the snow like a bunch of kids and I'm simply obsessed with the visuals of that lolllll
and YES to the social media team getting a few vids and Jake and Ronnie being freaking adorable in the background
maybe they're making a snowman together, or Jake wraps her up in a hug cause she's cold
the fans are SPECULATING. someone zoomed in on them and posted screenshots on twitter. it turns into a whole thing.
can you imagine a gingerbread house making party with an entire offensive line?
they turn it into a competition obvs
Ronnie is the judge since she is an unobjective third party (though really she's just there for the gingerbread and probably eats the majority of someone's roof entirely on accident)
and they all try....SO HARD. like it's honestly hilarious.
In the end though, I think Reuben would win. He just looks like a dude who knows how to put a mean gingerbread house together and ronnie cannot deny that his is the cleanest.
no matter how much jake whines about it when everyone else finally decides to go home lol
and for a team gift exchange, i think jake should get ronnie. girl is under enough stress as is and i will have mercy on her in this one regard lol
he gets her one of those battery-powered massage things, not a massage gun but just like a small thing she can carry in her bag
cause she keeps talking about how her legs hurt all the time, and she's constantly massaging them herself
it's a very practical, but thoughtful gift and it makes her damn heart flutter when she asks the group who her secret santa was and jake shyly raises his hand
it's just so sweet and kind and she uses it for the rest of the party lol
Thank you so much for sending this in Indy 💖💖

A Short Story
Hi guys, since it’s been pretty much dead on this blog (Okay, I might have gotten distracted by my main blog.) So, I decided to kick my lazy butt into gear and actually show my face around here.
Starting off with this quick protective vore short.
Side Note: This is NOT STARKER. So don’t even think about seeing this as such because if you do, I’ll hunt you down.
---
Tony didn’t know how the mission went downhill faster than a snowball tumbling down a steep hill.
It was supposed to be simple, they'd go in, get the job done and bolt for it. Of course, something had to go wrong.
Tony couldn't say he was surprised, it wasn't the first mission he went on that things quickly spiraled out of control.
However, it was the kid's first mission and that's what made it worse. God, why did he let those puppy dog eyes sway him? Why didn't he say no?
Bringing the kid was a bad idea and now Tony was paying for it.
"Kid, jump!" Out from the corner of his eye, Tony watched as the kid flipped upwards from the man behind him while also barely avoiding his own attacker.
Tony spun around, dodging a punch before blasting the soldier in the face. His body was thrown backwards, crumpling in a heap halfway across the floor.
He didn’t stir.
He whirled around just in time to see Peter web the last one to the wall. Or at least he thought that was the last of them.
The kid's head jerked up, and Tony watched as the lenses on the mask narrowed. "I hear more coming."
Awesome. Just what they need and yup, Tony decided that this mission was talons up way too fast for his liking. "Okay, now we're ditching this popsicle stand, Underoos. Let's get out of here."
He wrapped his arm around the kid's arm while raising his hand towards the ceiling. The repulsor beam barely didn't anything against the roof, and Tony switched to the laser but they didn't even work. Great.
Whatever metal they used to build this place, it wasn't normal steel. Probably vibranium then.
Tony felt himself falter. "Kid-"
A wracking explosion echoed across the base and they both stumbled, looking up with wide eyes.
"Fri, what was that?" Tony fumbled for the kid's arm again. His Al didn't have time to respond three more soldiers rounded the corner but Peter was faster already raising his hands before they had the chance to hold up their guns.
However, Peter's web gave a pathetic psshhoo before it sputtered out at only a measly foot and fell to the floor.
Tony stared. He was pretty sure everyone else was too. Peter gave a nervous chuckle next to him. "Oops."
'Oops' indeed because now the kid was defenseless too. Sure, Peter could still do hand-hand combat but these guys had guns and over Tony's dead body he'd let the kid fight them without his webs.
Not saying anything else, Tony quickly raised his palm and blasted the three into the wall. They didn't get back up.
Tony swore his heart rate doubled when there was the sound of footsteps and a slamming door. Peter looked at him and he knew what the kid was thinking.
There was one way out: They'd have to force their way through until they got to the entrance. Tony wouldn't be able to through the roof's metal in time.
The only issue was that his suit was bulletproof but Peter's was not. He couldn't risk the kid's life like that with no protection, where he was the only one with the protective armor. He couldn't take that chance a second time.
Maybe he could give a quick run down, or at least reassure the kid—
There were more footsteps. Lots of them and Tony's heart stuttered a beat.
Sorry kid.
Tony spun around. "Alright kid, no time to explain but you have to trust me. This is gonna feel weird but you're gonna be safe."
"Wha-" Tony ignored whatever question Peter had and held out a steadying hand to place on the kid's shoulder trying his best to ignore the confused look he was given.
The confusion quickly gave way and Tony watched as Peter's eyes widened as he shrank under his hand. He knelt down as Peter became shorter, following him all the way until he was smaller than one of his fingers.
He didn't give the kid time to recover, just scooping him up in his hand and ignoring Peter's yelp of surprise. Tony looked anywhere but at the kid's face because he knew if he looked at it he'd hesitate.
Now wasn't the time for that.
Raising Peter up and opening his mouth, Tony tipped his hand so the kid would have no choice to slide in. Apparently, he took him by surprise because Peter didn't try to stick to him.
There was startled 'Mr. Stark!' before Tony closed his mouth again. He threw his head back, grimacing when Peter cried out as he slid on his tongue and swallowed when the small weight reached the back of his throat.
Tony grunted as Peter struggled, trying to fight against him, and swallowed again to speed him along, letting out a relieved breath when he felt the kid pass his collarbone.
"Don't move!" A voice behind him called.
Tony's faceplate slammed down and he spun around, raising his hand towards the small group of soldiers pointing their guns at him. Just as Peter finished squeezing through his chest and tumbled into his stomach, the gauntlet whirled to life.
A repulsor beam cut through the air, and the officers dove to get out of the way. A few brave ones had tried to shoot him, but the bullets barely dented the armor encasing him.
He flew up, wincing as Peter collided with the front of his stomach and scrambled around in barely restrained panic.
Pushing back his slight nausea, Tony kept at it, firing blast after blast at the soldiers. Some dodged but most didn't and then in one fluid movement, Tony did a rapid-fire of shots.
When the smoke cleared, it revealed the small group of men piled atop one another, their limbs all in a tangle.
Tony breathed in relief but he didn’t allow himself to get too comfortable. He thought he was safe, or relatively safe, before. It was a trap he wouldn’t fall for but he could talk to Peter.
"Kid, kid!" Tony laid his hand on the stomach of his suit, cringing at the clang it made and the way Peter jumped, pawing at his stomach. "Mr. Stark! Please let me out! I don't wanna— I don't-!"
"Easy, kid." Tony soothed trying to calm him, rubbing at the metal that Peter probably couldn't even feel. He tried ignoring the way his chest tightened from hearing the pure undiluted fear in Peter's voice that was directed at him of all people.
Distantly he could hear Friday buzzing in his ear about more people coming. "Pete, you're safe. It's okay."
"I'm safe?" Peter stilled, sounding so hopeful it made Tony's heart twist.
He nodded. "Yeah, kid. You're safe." I'll always make sure you are.
---
And that's a wrap! Ugh, I hate action scenes. They're my worst nightmare. Also this is just something I whipped out in my notes, so I know it's not great but I hope you still managed to somehow enjoy this.
Please do tell me of what you thought of this :)

(part ii)
Its probably someone annoyed with us trying to ruin Christmas, come on let's get the snowball fight area done.
Exactly and this person will get tired eventually.
*The Voids move towards the snowball area, but they are still being followed by the unknown person*
???: Me tire out? How laughable, as considering everything you have done, I will NEVER falter until you get what you deserve!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*In the Snowball area, the Voids are busy spreading out Aliza's magical snow which hasn't melted because of well...magic*
Of course I need to get the brick I almost hit Maizono with the head with, what was I thinking-
*Suddenly Emma had to dodge because of a brick being thrown in her direction*
What was that, was someone trying to kill me?
*Emma looks around for the brick and finds it, with seems to have a message attached to it*
"I wouldn't duck this if I was you Emma Magorobi, after all getting hit on the head with a brick doesn't hurt, right :)"
(What is even going on...this goes beyond someone being annoyed with us, someone must have been watching me attempt that!)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Hajime is shoveling snow to make a general clear area* I am so glad I don't live in Hokkaido where this is a daily occurrence in winter.
Right that's one area cleared now time to do another one. *Hajime takes one step forward towards what he thought was a clean area*
*But then it turns out snow has gotten back in that area, causing him to fall over face flat in the snow* BFFF GAAHHH...I got snow in my mouth, someone must have tripped me up!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Iroha is busy building a snowman and isn't taking the cleaning very seriously whatsoever* I mean I know we are being punished...but we need to have some fun here.
Besides snowman are fitting for Christmas so I am making this all Christmasy! *Iroha then turns around to find some clothing for her new snowman*
*However as soon as she gets some cloth and turns around the snowman has vanished* Waaagghhh where did it go?
I thought snowmen didn't run away so how come this *Iroha then feels something tapping on her shoulder*
*She turns around to see the snowman standing behind her but instead of a friendly looking face it had a demonic one*
WEEEEGGGHHHHH THE SNOW IS COMING TO LIFE!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Nikei is setting out skiing equipment for anyone who wants to play in the snow* I hate snow...I hate the cold...why do I have to do this?
Still at least its a few bits of equipment so nothing bad can happen there-
*Suddenly Nikei is dragged onto the ground as something grabbed his ankle*
WHOOOO'S TOUCHING ME?!
*Nikei whips out his gun and aims it at where he was dragged down* Alright whoever is pranking me and the others better come out right now or-
*Suddenly a disembodied hand shoots out of the snow and grabs onto Nikei's face*
*Nikei struggles to get the hand off his face* Get off me! Get off me!
----------------------------------------------------------------
*Even more time has passed and the Voids have finished the snowball fight area, completely exhausted, both physically and mentally*
Blessed Utsuro...I feel so cold now.
This is even worse then the previous area...and somebody is definetly messing with us.
I'm startubg to get really irrirated now, so whoever it is come out and show yourself!
Erm...what if its not someone messing with us...but something?
Something...wait do you think the phantom is behind this?
W-who else would be messing with us like this?
Are you sure? Is the phantom even real?
Well who else did Review Anon smash down the hallway on her rampage?
That's...a good point.
S-so what do we do? The Food and Commerce Sector is huge and I don't know what the phantom has cooked up there.
Well I'm not letting some ghost who we didn't piss off get the better of us! We are gonna go into the food and commerce sector, confront the phantom and get them to either fuck off or face my bullets!
I mean..if anything is gonna scare them off, its a gun.
*The Voids all agree and start heading towards the food and drink commerce sector, with one ghostly follower right behind them*
???: So they think they can intimidate me? Typical, they always result to violence. Well time to give them something they can't fight back against.
The Phantom of the Voidship
*Outside of Review Anon's office, the Voids are hard at work with cleaning up all the destruction she has done as part of their punishment.
Little did they know...someone very unwelcome would be joining them*
???: Now then, time to have some fun~
*Hajime is busy cleaning up the floors where glitter has gone everywhere* Gah I hate glitter so much, why is it so hard to remove?
Alright I think I need another bottle of this. *Hajime reaches out for the cleaning liquid, but finds its not there*
Wait where did I put it, I swear it was around here somewhere? *Hajime starts looking around for it, and eventually finds it...in the exact same place as he last placed it*
There it is...weird, my mind must be playing tricks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*Iroha is repainting and decorating the halls to be all Christmas themed* This sucks...why do we have to do this?
Still that's another row done, now to get more paint... *Iroha grabs some more green paint and when she does, she sees a message has been written on the walls*
"All work and no play makes Iroha Nijiue a shitty human being."
W-what is this? I didn't paint this and that needs to go! *Iroha gets some paint remover and removes the message before redecorating it*
Well...that was weird but at least I can paint on...
Wait...what's that?
*Iroha looks and all across the hallway, she sees the message repeated endlessly in red paint*
"All work and no play makes Iroha Nijiue a shitty human being."
"All work and no play makes Iroha Nijiue a shitty human being."
"All work and no play makes Iroha Nijiue a shitty human being."
"All work and no play makes Iroha Nijiue a shitty human being."
W-what is this...who's doing this?! And I'm not a bad person!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
*Emma is arranging the decorations on the ceiling since Iroha is too short to use the ladder* I'm pretty sure this wasn't all here and its being done for our torment.
Still at least I know how to do them and it can't get any worse-
*Suddenly the ladder Emma is on starts to wobble and she's being moves around from when she was*
W-what's going on? This isn't meant to be happening ladders don't get a mind of their own!
*The rumbling stops but then odd music starts playing which sounds like nursery tunes*
Oh hahahaha very funny Nikei you can stop that now.
*But then she looks in the distance and sees that the journalist is nowhere in sight*
What is going on-
???: Eeemmmmaaaaaaaaaa....
*A deep demonic voice then echoes out*
W-who's there?
???: Its time...its for you to pay your debts Emma...
I don't have any debts though and can you stop that?
???: Oh but you dooo...you paid a hefty price for it....and now I have come to take make payment...your soul.
NONONONONONO YOU CANNOT HAVE IT!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
*Nikei is busy putting up posters for the Christmas Party* I didn't even take these down, the guards did, so why is it my duty to put them back up?
Oh well there isn't that much of them left...
*Nikei goes to grab another poster to put up, but instead of the usual Christmas posters, its a collage of newpaper letters made to spell out a sentence*
"BAD CHILDREN GET PUNISHED AND YOU NIKEI YOMIURI ARE VERY NAUGHTY INDEED."
Ugh this another of Iroha's stupid pranks and I'm not in the mood for it. *Nikei goes to remove it but finds another one, this one soaked in blood*
"I AM NOT A PRANK AND YOU CANNOT IGNORE ME."
EEEEEKKKKKK!!!! *Nikei rips the poster up as much as possible and gets his hands soaked in blood which makes him hightail it to the nearest toilet*
-------------------------------------------------------------------
*Eventually the area outside of Review Anon's office is cleaned up*
Okay guys that's Review Anon's office entrance done and we can move onto the snowball area.
But can I say one thing? Whoever is messing around with the cleaning supplies stop doing that as its really hard to clean up glitter when you don't have the right equipment.
Oh and whoever thought it was funny to soak the posters in blood thank you for almost giving me a heart attack before I realised it was red wine.
And can you stop shaking the ladder and talk in a demonic voice? I almost fell off the ladder because of that!
And those messages on the walls, don't paint them as they are horrible and cruel...
Hold on...if we all had those things happen to us...I don't think we were the ones doing it...
Are you implying that there is someone messing with us?
But who would do such a thing?

Hugs and Kisses | F.W.
Title: Hugs and Kisses
Requested: Yes/No
Summary: Y/N is not a big fan of physical contact and Fred finds out why.
Warning/s: mentions of abuse, violence, mentions of physical abuse in the past, mention of a gun, bruises
Flashbacks are in italics.
Like everyone else, I have a pet peeve.
Mine was physical contact. Not that I didn’t like touching others, I was fine if someone rested their elbow on my shoulder, but hugging, holding hands, putting an arm around someone’s shoulder/waist. No thanks.
I was walking out of the library with Angelina when I suddenly felt an elbow rest on my right shoulder.
I breathed in the familiar scent of cinnamon and firework powder.
“Hey Freddie.” I said, turning to ginger by my side.
“Hey Princess.” He said, keeping his elbow on my shoulder as George appeared next to Angelina and the four of us started to head towards the common room.
Butterflies flew around in my stomach at the nickname, hopefully the blush on my cheeks wasn’t that visible.
“You guys remember the first time Fred attempted to put an arm around Y/N?” George asked, out of the blue, causing Angelina, Fred and I to laugh.
“Oh yeah.” Angelina said, “That was so hilarious.”
Snow lightly dropped down from the heavens. Painting the ground white and letting out a small chill into the air.
The twins and I were building a snowman outside, very innocent and calm from the usual chaos and havoc we caused, but who doesn’t enjoy building a snowman?
But that peaceful atmosphere was soon destroyed when George threw a snowball at Fred. Thus, the peaceful activity of building a snowman soon transitioned into a huge chaotic snowball fight.
“Oi!” I scolded as a poorly aimed snowball from Fred hit my shoulder.
I scooped up some snow, it was time to join the fun.
--
“Okay! Okay! I give up!” George said, both hands up in mock surrender as he came out from behind the tree he was hiding.
A smirk grew on Fred’s lips, “See? You can’t beat the dream team.” He teased as he put an arm around my shoulder.
Out of instinct, I immediately pulled away, looking up to see Fred and George both taken aback.
“Sorry.” Fred immediately apologized, “Did I make you uncomfortable or anything?”
I shook my head, “No. You could never make me uncomfortable. It’s just, I’m not a huge fan of physical contact.”
The twins looked at each other, probably using their twin telepathy to communicate.
“Any type of physical contact?” George asked.
I shrugged, “Not all. I suppose that there are exceptions.”
Fred then stepped forward, cautiously resting his elbow on my shoulder, “Is this okay?”
I nodded, giving him a reassuring smile. “It’s okay.”
“Fred’s face was absolutely priceless.” George said, aiming a teasing smile at his twin, “He looked he’d been given an electric shock.”
“Maybe he couldn’t believe that the prettiest girl he ever laid eyes on would react like that.” Angelina added.
I rolled my eyes at the both of them, “Piss off you two before I smother you two with the nearest deadly object I find.”
Angelina scoffed, “What? Don’t tell me you don’t agree.”
I tried to stop the blush that was rising up to my cheeks, “Oh for Merlin’s sake, give me a break Angie.”
--
I sat on the couch by the common room fire, the clock had struck one a few minutes ago but I can’t seem to put down the book I was holding.
The quiet rustling of the page being turned mixed in perfectly with the soft cackling of the fireplace.
Just as the climax was put in motion, the tension between the two lovers was growing with each passing moment, and just as if Merlin had a grudge against me, the book was suddenly snatched out of my hands.
“Hey!” I complained, looking up at the culprit to see the grinning face of a certain Weasley.
“Fred!” I whined, crossing my arms over my chest, “Why?”
He chuckled, taking a seat next to me as he took the bookmark from my hands and placed it on the page I was reading before closing the book and placing on the table next to the couch, “It’s already one in the morning and you’re still reading.”
“So?” I huffed, “Just because you have never read a book in a day of your life doesn’t mean I can’t.”
He laughed, “Shouldn’t you be sleeping instead of waiting for the two lovers to just suck it up and kiss at the ungodly hours of the morning?”
I smiled, “That’s because I need answers. Besides, I could ask you the same thing, shouldn’t you be sleeping instead of bothering me?”
Fred laughed, playing with my hair, “When did I bother you?”
I shrugged teasingly, “I don’t know. Perhaps now.”
The two of us laughed before falling into comfortable silence, his hands still playing with my hair.
“Darling, can I ask you a question?” Fred suddenly said, breaking through the silence.
I looked up at him, “Sure.”
He combed his hand through his hair, “This might be kinda sensitive. But why aren’t you a big fan of physical contact?”
I bit my lip, avoiding his gaze, contemplating whether I should tell Fred the truth or not.
The smashing of glass that came from the kitchen could be heard even from the closed door of my bedroom.
The yelling from another one of my parents’ argument echoed through the walls of the house.
Then there was a thud, causing me to wince. He must’ve hit her again; it’s being going on for years. He made her promise not tell, he swore that if she did, he would kill me.
So, she never told anyone. She covered every single evidence up with makeup and kept a smile on her lips at every family gathering we attended. No matter how many times she told me that it was okay, I knew that she wasn’t.
I took in a shaky breath as I heard nothing but silence. I slowly opened the door of my bedroom, the creak probably being the loudest sound in the house.
I was about to head to the kitchen when I was that the door to my parents’ bedroom was opened ajar, I took a peek to see my mum stuffing her clothes into a gym bag.
Her shirt was riding up a bit, exposing the almost-black bruises that was littered across her back and, as far as I knew, the rest of her body.
“Mummy?” I said, the fear inside me growing with every passing minute.
She turned to face me, quickly wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Hey sweetie.” She said, her voice a little hoarse as she stooped down to my height, “I want you to pack every important belonging you have. Okay honey? Just like we practiced.”
I nodded, running back to my room as I took the small gym bag I hid under my bed and stuffed every essential thing I could.
My mum held my hand tightly as we tiptoed through the living room, our freedom from this nightmare was just around the corner.
I looked around the living room, it looked like a storm had just passed by. Shards of glass was shattered everywhere, random things that have been thrown laid on the floor. Picture frames that once hang on the walls rested on the cement floor, shattered, broken, just like their promise of forever.
What once was a place of comfort and safety, a home, turned into a place of fear and pain, turned into hell.
Mum was just about to reach for the door handle, the only thing separating us from freedom.
“Where do you two think you’re going?” A cold, furious voice asked.
“Isn’t it obvious?” Mum asked, turning to face my father as she clutched my hand tighter, “We’re leaving.”
My father gave a humorless chuckle, “Acting all tough now huh? What if I don’t let you.”
Mum stepped in front of me protectively, shielding me from my father, “I don’t give a damn on what you think anymore! I had enough and we’re leaving whether you like it or not!”
Before mum could reach the handle, my father pulled her away by the back of her shirt then smacked her across the face. The force had been enough to knock her over to the coffee table.
I stood there, frozen in fear, thinking for a moment that the force was enough to kill her. Once I realized that she was alright, I immediately ran to her side.
I shot my father a death glare, and did what I thought was pretty brave (or stupid) for a toddler, I ran towards him and tried to push him away. Which, obviously, had no effect.
He looked down at me with burning rage, pulling me by the hair as tears started to stream down my cheeks. Next thing I knew, a gun was pointed to my temple.
“I dare you. Walk out that door.” He threatened, tightening his grip on me, “I promise you that your daughter won’t ever be able to see another light of day.”
“Darling?” Fred’s voice pulled me out of my flashback, “Are you okay?”
I looked back at him, not realizing the tears that were dripping down my cheeks.
Without a word, he was about to put his arm around me when he stopped in his tracks. He looked at me for a moment, silently asking me for permission.
I nodded, scooting closer to him as I rested my head on his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat.
I hated physical contact. But Fred was an exemption to that rule, or at least for now.
“Do you want to talk about it?” He asked softly.
I sniffed, wiping away the remaining tears from my eyes, “My dad used to physically abuse my mum. Whenever she made a mistake or talked back to him, he would hit her brutally. He made her swore not to tell anyone or else he’ll kill me. One day, my mum had enough so the two of us were supposed to escape but he caught us. He hit my mum then pointed a gun at my head. I really thought that I was going to die. Luckily for us, our neighbor suspected that something was wrong and called the police. They arrested him then my mum and I lived at my grandma’s house. Since that day, I knew that I hated physical contact.”
Fred rubbed my back comfortingly, stunned with my confession, “I’m your best friend and I didn’t know that you went through all that.”
I sniffed, “No one did.”
“But,” Fred continued, “Not every physical contact would hurt you. If you want, I can show you.”
I gave him a hesitant smile, “I don’t know Freddie.”
“Look, I don’t want to make you uncomfortable. But, if you want, let’s try it for a week. If it still makes you uneasy, then just say the word and we’ll stop.” He offered.
I licked my lips, “Okay. Let’s try it.”
--
It was a Saturday morning, Angelina, Alicia and I were eating breakfast while discussing Alicia’s recent date with Ravenclaw keeper, Roger Davies.
“He is just absolutely amazing.” Alicia said, obviously swooning over the guy.
“I call dibs on the maid of honor!” Angelina suddenly said.
“Hey!” I complained, taking a sip of pumpkin juice, “You already called dibs on maid of honor for my wedding you can’t call dibs on Alicia’s wedding too!”
I then pointed a finger at Alicia, “I call dibs on maid of honor.”
“What’s all this talk about weddings?” George asked with a teasing grin as he sat down next to Angelina.
“Oh nothing.” I said as the older twin took a seat next to me, “We were just planning Alicia’s future wedding.”
“Wedding huh?” Fred teased, putting an arm around my shoulder, causing me to tense up at first before relaxing into his touch, “Didn’t think of you three as wedding planners.”
No answer or retort came as George, Angelina and Alicia stared at Fred’s arm that was around my shoulder, their mouths slightly agape.
“Fred.” George tried to say, thinking his twin had done it accidentally.
“Don’t you remember?” Angelina and Alicia said at the same time.
He gave them a small, reassuring smile, “Don’t worry guys. Y/N and I talked last night and she willing to give this whole thing a try.”
I nodded, “I told him the reason why I wasn’t a big fan of physical contact and he offered to show how good it is.”
“So, what’s the reason?” Alicia asked.
Fred and I exchanged a look, then he said, “I think that would be a secret between Y/N and I for now.”
His answer was met with the overlapping chatter of the group.
“What?”
“That’s no fair.”
“Why does Fred get to know but we don’t?”
Fred put both his hands up, palms facing outwards, commanding silence, “Look, I’m sure that she’ll tell you the whole story once she’s ready. But for now, we should respect her decision.”
The group nodded in agreement.
Fred clapped his hands together with a small smile, “Great! Now going back to Alicia’s wedding planning, who’s the groom?”
--
Fred and I were hanging out by the courtyard, watching the sunset, his arm resting across my waist.
For the rest of the day since breakfast, Fred would frequently put an arm around my shoulder or waist.
At first, it felt a bit weird to feel his arm around me but by the afternoon I was used to it.
I had to admit, it felt nice.
“You okay?” He asked.
I nodded, giving him a small smile, “Yeah.”
“Are you sure your fine with this arrangement? Because if your uncomfortable we can stop.” He said.
I giggled, “Honestly Freddie, I’m fine. It actually feels better than I expected.”
He grinned, “Oh darling, just wait until I spoil you with hugs.”
His tone then turned serious, “Thank you for trusting me with your secret.”
I smiled up at him, “I’d trust you with my life Freddie.”
--
Over the next few weeks, Fred every physical contact as possible.
He was right, not every touch would hurt me.
I enjoyed every single one of his hugs, whenever he would place his arm around my shoulders or waist. He always seemed to find an excuse just to hold me close to him. I had to admit, there was something comforting about being so close to him, that I regretted not trying this out sooner.
“Penny for your thoughts darling?” Fred asked, wrapping his arms around my waist.
I turned around to face him, “Nothing much.”
“So, how does you feel about physical contact now?” He asked with a sly smile.
“I’m loving it.” I said returning the smile, “Thank you so much for showing me how good it is.”
He laughed, “Well I think that there is another form of physical contact you might like.”
I raised a brow at him, “Oh yeah? What is it?”
He slowly leaned forward and connected our lips together in a hungry and desperate kiss, all those years of pent-up feelings being poured into that kiss.
His hands rested on my waist as I cupped his cheeks in my hands.
Even if it was happening right in the moment, I still couldn’t believe that my best friend, my crush ever since first year was kissing me.
We pulled away for a minute before he reconnected our lips together again, this time it was slow and sloppy but full with passion.
Once we pulled away, Fred rested his forehand against mine, both of us breathless and cheeks painted a deep shade of red.
“I liked you for such a long time.” He whispered, “I have never met anyone so cute, so stunning, so intelligent, so funny and so damn hot and sexy. I have never been so in love and wanted anyone more than you. So, will you be my girlfriend?”
I smiled, “Please tell me that I’m not dreaming.”
He chuckled, tracing a finger over my arm, watching the goosebumps erupt from it, “I’m positive that you’re not dreaming.”
I giggled, “Then I would absolutely love to be yours. I would love to be able to hug you, hold your hand and kiss you. Thank you for showing me how it feels to be loved by someone so perfect.”
