Yuri Duel Links 2024

(this is literally just a masterpost of everything that made me insane over the course of the event so I can reflect and laugh/cry/etc)

first of all the sentence "Yuri Duel Links Event 2024" would have put me in a coma if you told me that say like. a month and a half ago. when Lulu and Rin came in September I was SURE it was going to be at least early 2025 before we got him. and Yet,

I was in the middle of getting ready for a concert when I got a notification from the DL subreddit of all things that said "He's Finally In" and I saw a little picture of Yuri and I was like Lol. Yeah Ok. so then I opened duel links and checked and was hit with This:

and I was like Okay. okay. cool cool cool cool. I'm gonna be so normal about this. *narrator voice* "via the tags on this post, you could see they were indeed not normal about it"

and girl sorry I wasn't gonna be normal about it like I've wanted this cunt in duel links since he landed on my radar. I knew from the first episode he appeared in that he was going to be my favorite arc-v character because I tend to have a Type when it comes to characters. it's been the same since I was like 8. sue me.

I even started getting into theory territory I was SERIOUS

(this ended up not being the case but congrats to Dumon for being the July unlock that was a lot of fun)

HOWEVER SPEAKING OF PREDICTING UNLOCKS I DO HAVE TO SAY I made this list back in MAY predicting the rest of the characters for 2024, and while some of these are very out there and Not Happening (sorry Marik and Atticus) I DID ORIGINALLY PREDICT YURI FOR AN OCTOBER UNLOCK. (Dumon for July as well) I AM LITERALLY JOHN KONAMI I GUESS.

so time goes by and I have a month to grind gems for Yuri's box because OBVIOUSLY I need a full character deck for him. would tumblr user chimerafflesia do anything less. I achieved this btw. 9999 gems the day before the event started. I was READY.

October 23rd. I literally wake up at 6am because I was so excited I was like a kid on christmas. I am hit with these screens and actually got kinda misty eyed because it was Happening

I waited 5000 years (about 7 months) to see that "Event Exclusive" in front of him and it was real and happening like CHEERS I'LL DRINK TO THAT!

I recapped a lot of my initial reactions on day one here and here but it just doesn't do it justice like I was just so excited and happy and having the time of my life playing this little freemium mobile game. I've said it like 348735 times now but duel links is genuinely so fucking amazing to me I love this game so so so much.

AND THIS EVENT WAS SO WONDERFUL!!!! THEY DID RIGHT BY HIM I WAS (AND STILL AM) SO HAPPY. HIS CHARACTERIZATION STAYED INTACT. WE GOT SOME NEW LITTLE FLAVOR DETAILS FOR HIM. THAT MAY HAVE TO BE A SEPARATE POST BUT GOD. YURI FANS WE ARE EATING GOOD.

here are some personal favorites. little problem child 🩷💜

and course this instant classic:

but there are so many. I point to this video which has all his dialouge including taunts.

look at these screenshots man like come on. I can't believe these are real. they look like images that would've been posted on reddit like 3 years ago with the caption "This Will Be Duel Links in 2024" EXCEPT IT IS.

I set up this board with all the predap extra deck mons + starving venom and was staring at it like Man We Really Won. this shit's beautiful

Just. man I feel like there's so much more I wanna say but overall it was just a really fun event. this might sound silly to some people but I really do have a special connection to yugioh in general and I do feel like it was fate when it came into my life. I really got into yugioh in April 2021 during a particurally dark time in my life and yugioh became like a lifeline for me. it was an escape. it still is. I'm always going to be grateful for this franchise.

I watched arc-v from March-April of this year (immediately after finishing zexal btw, which is the first time ever I watched two yugioh anime back to back) and to say it fried my brain is kind of an understatement like I still think about this show every day of my life. to quote my own tweet:

like. YEAH.

Yuri in particular is a fusion parasite all on his own he wormed himself into my brain and hasn't let go. I've rewatched his episodes so many times but I think I've seen arc-v episode 135 in particular roughly 124 times. could be more. it will be more.

I can't help but feel like watching arc-v this year was meant to be. (first of all, the same year I watch it FOUR arc-v characters get into duel links? divine timing if I've ever seen it) but in particular the timing of the Yuri event feels very nice. I've been dealing with some personal woes (particulary surrounding employment, amongst other things) and again this event was such an escape for me, even if just for a few hours each day. I can't wait until he's back in a few months. we will be there :)

I'm at the point where I don't really care if it's "cringe" to get this emo about shows/characters/games etc cuz at the end of the day this shit really does mean something to me man. I know what yugioh has done for me and what it'll definitely continue to do for me and I'm grateful for it <3

(PS it is really really fun to wreck people on ranked with super poly) here is a live image of me playing online duel links

INFO

ON SEMI HIATUS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

I'm Kylie and I make AMV's for multiple fandoms, only animated shows for now but could change in the future (and the past)! I currently make AMV's for:

The Owl House

Steven Universe

Murder Drones

Helluva Boss

Hazbin Hotel

Star vs. The Forces of Evil

The Amazing Digital Circus

Requests are closed for a bit to prevent burnout

(P.S. I have another blog for making moodboards called ghostiemoodboards)

Crossposting:

Youtube is the main place I post my AMV's although on Tumblr, I sometimes post things that are unlisted on Youtube! That being said, my Youtube channel is GhostieAMVs

I post very short versions of my AMV'S/edits on Tiktok, because copyright only allows me under a minute, it's ghostie_ky

I have a Bluesky account too, but I can only link my youtube videos there, ghostieky

So honestly Tumblr is technically the best place to watch my full AMV's, but if you prefer somewhere else, then there you go!

More about me:

I'm 24, I use any pronouns and i'm not sure about labeling my gender, i'm pansexual, i'm autistic with a special interest in everything i'm making AMV's for, and I sometimes post my thoughts despite this blog being mostly for posting my AMV's! I hope you like them!

More about the AMV's/edits:

My editing style may be disappointing at times, since I don't know many cool tricks, I simply put clips together to match a song, i'm not always on beat, and I have no idea how to do Tiktok-like edits. (The majority of cool transitions and on beat clips are pure accident, I dub that, " The Transition God blessing me.")

If you request something, here's the gist of what my response means:

"Gotcha" "I'll make it" - usually means yes

"I'll try!" "I'll see what I can do" - usually means I want to say yes, but i'm not sure if there's enough clips for me to work with so it's a maybe

I have yet to say no, but if I don't answer for an extended period of time, or I say I tried and couldn't do it, or anything along those lines, it's probably a no

Also, since I can't pin multiple posts, I have a tag for what I feel are my best AMV's here

I put subtitles on the majority of my AMV's/edits, for 3 reasons

For accessibility

To represent a character's specific POV (or the mention of the character) through the lyrics with different colors and fonts

I sometimes change them to fit the storyline of the show

If I didn't put subtitles, it's likely I was tired after making the AMV/edit, but if asked i'll post a version with subtitles.

Minors interacting:

I'm fine with minors interacting with my stuff, the way I see it, if you've already seen Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel and other mature shows on your own, then it's not really on me to be telling you what to do, i'm not your parent. Besides, those are the most NSFW that's on this blog, the rest is kid/teen friendly content for the most part. (I'd feel like a hypocrite otherwise, as someone who was in the South Park fandom at age 13.)

[krakenartificer]

Tagged by tumblr bestie @turtletotem. Thank you!

Are you named after anyone: Nope. I was named because my parents didn't know anyone else who had that name. Sadly, however, the name occurred to them for the same reason it occurred to a lot of other parents at that time (presumably due to complicated socio-economic factors), so I ended up with the third most common name for my AGAB for my birth year. There were five of us in my elementary school year. It was a nightmare.

When was the last time you cried: God I don't know. I'm in the phase of my PTSD recovery where I cry like a toddler: because I'm tired, because I have too much energy, because I stretched and now my back feels better, because I made a typo, because I forgot to make tea after the water boiled, because it's too sunny, because it's too cloudy....) It's 10:47 am, I think I'd remember if I'd cried today. Did I cry yesterday? Probably. I definitely did on Friday. So somewhere in the last 24-48 hours.

Do you have kids: None biological. A lot of adopted teenagers whose parents don't deserve them so I'm their mom/aunt/cool older sibling now.

Do you use sarcasm a lot: Yeah, but I'm trying to make sure it's in a wholesome/ironic/silly way, and not in a dismissive/mean way

What sports do you play/have played: I had a run for a while where I played volleyball once a week with a casual family group. Have done a little shooting hoops with spouse. Other than that, not much; I prefer cooperative physical activity to competitive.

What’s the first thing you notice about people: whether or not there's something showing (T-shirt, hairstyle, pins on their bag, etc) that indicates an interest we have in common that I could use to make conversation if I needed to.

What’s your eye color: Driver's license says hazel

Scary movies or happy endings: Happy endings, fo sure. I've had all the terrifying depressing hopelessness I need in one lifetime, thanks.

Any special talents: Weirdly good at memorizing dialogue and song lyrics. Naturally good at fiber arts. I think all the rest of my "talents" are just repackaged ADHD symptoms

Where were you born: Colorado

What are your hobbies: Fiber arts. Writing. Guitar. "Overthinking" things.

Do you have pets: I wish T_T But the neighborhood cats stop by often, and I'm still plotting how to get unlimited access to the neighbor's husky

How tall are you: 5'5.5"

Favorite subject in school: I really cared more about the teachers than the subjects, but my dad is super into science, and my extended family includes a lot of people who genuinely, deeply love mathematics, so I definitely gravitated towards STEM. If we're counting "subjects" from elementary and middle school, then Reading Class

Dream job: Independently wealthy enough that I can live on my ranch and make art without worrying about whether or not it's profitable

Tagging: @stitchlingbelle, @floating-in-the-blue, @jasonsdeli, @animatedamerican, @oma-goodness (no pressure if you're not feeling it)

15 Questions, 15 Mutuals

Thanks for the tag @annwayne! ❤️

Were you named after anyone? Not really but my middle name is a family name traditional to the oldest daughter for like 4 generations back

When was the last time you cried? I dunno, 2 days ago I think? I read a really beautiful story on tumblr and teared up

Do you have kids? No.

Do you use sarcasm? Wow, what’s with this question? I mean, does anyone not use sarcasm?

What’s the first thing you notice about people? Probably their energy/intensity. I don’t know if there’s a better way to say that? I work in customer service and I’m always wary of people who come in with a certain attitude, because they always want things, and they want them now, and they want me to fix it when that’s not my job, and then they yell about it. I've been doing this awhile now so I've gotten good at knowing which people are going to be easy to help and which ones are going to be a pill just from their energy when they first come in.

What’s your eye color? I was going to say I have "eyes like the sea after a storm,” but then I was like… "what’s that from?? Oh." And I’m not Westley, so I’ll just say blue. ;b

Scary movies or happy endings? This is a false choice; these things have nothing to do with each other. A good movie should encompass a wide range of human emotions including fear and happiness. My favorite movies tend to be adventure stories with a friendship focus, like Lord of the Rings, and I do tend to prefer stories with “happy” endings. But I also adore a movie that’s just well made, like Seven Samurai or Portrait of a Lady on Fire, neither of which have “happy” endings. I will say, I don’t usually watch “scary” movies because they are usually stupid and I laugh at them and then the people who like those kind of movies get mad at me for laughing. Also life is short, why would I deliberately choose to spend my time being scared when real life is a fucking trip in itself? If that's for you, cool. I just don't get it.

Any special talents? All my talents are special. Being a smart-ass is a big one if you couldn't tell.

Where were you born? Ypsilanti. (I had to look it up because I can say it but I couldn’t spell it, and apparently the city is named after a “hero in the Greek War of Independence from the Ottoman Empire.” Which is cool to know.) I never lived there, but was born there, so... yay.

What are your hobbies? Writing mostly. I always have ideas that I’m considering, to see if they will become stories. I also like reading and watching stuff, especially to refill the creativity pool when writing has sapped it out. I enjoy “gardening” (basically me messing around in my yard, tearing up some things and planting other things that then die in the heat bc I forget to water them), and cross stitch.

Have any pets? My cat Bug. He just turned 14 last month and is affectionately known as my grumpy old man. I also foster cats for my local rescue, and I currently have a mom named Samantha and her kitten Squirt.

What sports do/have you played? Look, I deliberately signed up for band AND choir in middle school because it was the only way to get out of having to take gym class. I am not athletic and I do not like playing or watching sports. I do enjoy hiking, and always liked canoeing at my grandparents’ house when I had access to a canoe.

How tall are you? Exactly average for my demographic, which is annoying because I’m always surrounded by tall people or short people, so I feel like the odd one out either way which makes it difficult to feel “average.”

Favorite subject at school? I was one of those quiet “good” students when I was in school, who always did the work that was required and did it well, because I lived in deathly fear of attracting attention. (No reason; I just wanted people to leave me alone so I could finish whatever I was supposed to be doing as quickly as possible and then go back to my room and read books.) Favorite classes tended to depend on the teacher I had that year/for that subject and there wasn’t an overall "subject" that I remember really liking or disliking. (You'd think I'd say English, because one year our required reading was The Count of Monte Cristo, which became my favorite book ever, but we also had to read a lot of boring crappy stuff, so it balances out.)

Dream job? Honestly probably just to get paid enough to cover all my bills without having to stress about it, doing whatever. I like doing and learning different things, and helping people. I also love doing "boring" jobs. I like my job now also because I've been at this job for 10 years and I could do it in my sleep half the time which leaves more brain power open to think about story ideas. When I was younger I wanted to be an author, but I have written and had short stories published, and through that experience I’ve realized that I don’t want to get paid for writing. That would make it a job, and then I couldn’t do it for fun; it wouldn’t feel the same, and I wouldn't have the same inspiration (getting published gave me writer's block for a year). I also used to work from home with my previous job and that is not for me. I like what I do now fine, I just wish I got paid enough to actually go on vacation, or go out to eat if I wanted without having to budget for it a month in advance.

Let’s see how many mutuals I can remember (with no pressure or requirement to participate): @ladyofparchments @castleflower @darklysnarky @judgeverse @only-in-december @girlscience @mx-seraph

[aranarumei]

tagged by @hua-fei-hua! it’s been ages since I’ve done one of these it was kind of fun lol! sorry for the delayed answers...

1. are you named after anyone?

a couple of ppl assume my name is kiri because it’s like, referencing kirishima from bnha. i haven’t kept up with bnha properly since. honestly since the dabi reveal ch dropped so that’s… nov 5th 2020 lol. I’ve got residual feelings abt it but not much interest in actually reading it (sorry). nowadays I don’t get as much of that anymore—my name is just like. digimon dusk only lets your character have a 4 character name max so I hit various syllables together and keysmashed until it sounded good. im attached to it now.

2. when was the last time you cried?

…today lol. i cry easy when i'm frustrated.

3. do you have kids?

no. I have a Feeling this will be rather unrelatable to whoever I tag so. electing to present my own question:

3 (again). [FREE SPACE] recommend a song?

im gonna recommend Tsuru (en: Bowstring) by koyori / denbolP bc it’s great. I love this producer actually.

4. do you use sarcasm a lot?

mm I think im probably averagely sarcastic but like. I do have a habit of like. ex: someone will be like oh where’s [kiri]? when I’m literally right there and I have the immediate impulse to say, completely straightfaced, like “oh [kiri]? sorry they’ve been dead for seven years. they’ve never been in this room in your entire life.” so essentially I like doubling down on things when I think it’s funny.

5. what sports do you play/have played

i played basketball for six years!

6. what's the first thing you notice about people?

i think the first like, physical detail I pay proper Attention to is earrings. just cause I like em. apart from that it’s probably their voice and what they find funny.

7. eye color?

brown. comparatively I think it’s rather dark to the point of looking black.

8. scary movies or happy endings?

i mean I feel like this is a. false dichotomy but I really don’t have a good stomach for horror and stuff so. happy endings ig.

9. any special talents?

talents… I’ve memorized my squares up to 30-ish, so like if for example if someone says 28 I can rattle off 784. I’ve been told I have a talent for talking abt media I like but that’s also something said by my lovely friends lol.

10. where were you born?

on earth. im also electing to replace this with my own question:

10 (again). what made you make a tumblr account?

if ppl look at my blog they shall think I showed up in 2020 but I’ve actually been here since 2015. I just… deactivated my acct by accident when I meant to delete a sideblog. ok. so obviously I remade in that case. I made one back in 2015, though, because I was like, really into hxh and ran into some hxh blogs I was like. in love with. also some fairy tail fic authors I rly respected were on here. and I wanted to discuss hxh and post fic. so I joined.

11. what are your hobbies?

writing! and reading! and drawing! and playlist making. im basic. writing is probably #1 to me tho I rly enjoy it. like for all I complain about it I actually really enjoy the act of like putting down words and crafting stuff and editing. I’d actually love to beta fic more regularly. and get reallllly good at grammar (seriously if anyone has any resources on that chuck it at me) and action scenes. those r my big two dreams.

12. do you have any pets?

nope! i do have a depressing amount of wips I have not taken care of, tho…

13. how tall are you?

5’2” or about 158 cm, i haven't measured myself lately. I’ve been told my various sources that I have “tall person energy” tho. im not as good abt it nowadays but I tend to be a bit careful abt keeping my back straight. at the very least I’m pretty aware of it. I wanna say it was just cool of me to be that way bc I was into having good posture but I’m like 90% sure it was because I read skip beat and I really liked that kyoko stood that way.

14. favorite subject in school?

math by farrrr. literature is dependent on the teacher for quality imo and while I enjoyed it I was always a bit sad that we never did any creative writing. math is just very nicely methodical.

15. dream job?

honestly I don’t have one. like I’d love to publish a book some day but I don’t want it to be my Job. im pretty satisfied just doing smthing productive-feeling and where I have enough free time tbh.

no obligation to answer ofc to anyone tagged. also if you don’t want to answer any of the questions just reject them... I just provided alternates bc I felt like it. i think this is supposed to be 15 questions for 15 mutuals but i dont want to tag that many people... @icharchivist @sunnnfish @dirtbra1n @mxddyhero @heartsdash @watcher-ofthe-sky @estradasphere

[random-conspiracy]

Blorbos (I guess?)

(Here's the thing, I have 5 minutes before I have to go back to drawing architecture plans. Don't tell anything to the Administrative-High-Secretary part of my mind.)

Time ago I did not have something as a favorite character beyond some guys I liked, but nothing more. Then Tumblr made some silly brainwashing shenanigans (blorbo) and this is the list updated to this exact moment:

Karkat Vantas (Homestuck [As if the clarifications were necessary])

Harry Du Bois (Disco Elysium)

Daniel James Fenton/Danny Phantom (Danny Phantom)

Evelyn Wang (Everything Everywhere All At Once)

The Warden (Superjail)

Perseus Jackson (Percy Jackson & The Olympians)

You can bet your ass I'm completely forgetting someone. I'm pretty sure of that. I constantly have to remind myself of writting down my favorite movies/series/books/music/etc because I'm one disco night of completely forget who the fuck I am.

Everyone of these pieces of shit are crucial puzzle pieces in the way I think of myself and the world. (Ok, that sounds waaaaaaaaaay deeper than it actually is, but whatever).

Karkat Vantas: God damn it. I mean. How not to love him. He's so brave and silly and crazy and mean and full of love for his friends and full of hate for everything. When I think about "putting blorbo in situations" he's the one because is so fucking funny. I want to push him in a washing machine (full cycle) and then give him a party. About fanart, I specially like the ones where he's smiling. After the chaos Homestuck was and even before with Alternia's death traps, I really (REALLY) want him to be happy. And here me out, I'm aromantic so I don't really relate a lot with romantic crushes and stuff BUT that stupid animation of him hate-falling for Egbert broke my heart. The music, the MUSIC!!!. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA. (However, Dave Strider is another cool dude, and seeing them together is the only thing that still makes me want a romantic relationship).

Harry Du Bois: I like to think about Karkat when I need comfort in my life, but the real deal in that place is for Harry. During the game I was so attached to him that when I found out about the hobocop (sleep outside, specially the trash bin thing), I was pretty sure I was going to cry if that happened. Harry is hilarious and I love him. Is a fucking mess and the most sad wet pathetic cat (I don't care about Vriska). I tried to make the best person out of Harry. Be kind, be gentle. Go to sleep and don't abuse drugs, caring for himself and for others. "You can live Harry!" I used to whisper. Now, when I find myself at 3:00 am feeling empty, drinking unhealthy dosis of coffee and energy drinks, without having taken a bath in a week I think of him. And I cry.

Daniel James Fenton/Danny Phantom: This one is slightly creepy. When I was a boy I used to have very non-traumatic thoughts like "what would happen if I died?", "would someone care?". I used to imagine myself as a ghost wandering through my funeral. And OH BOY! You can bet your ass I used to think about Danny too. Not quite dead, not quite alive. And turns out I wasn't the only one! Hahaha. A quick check of the #Corpse AU tag and holy shit. The Phandom is doing horrible things to this kid and I'm here for that. I don't have those thoughts anymore (at least not that recurrently). I like his silliness, and specially, the theme of identity. Have you ever imagined what it must be like to hold your own skull? Visit your own grave? He's the one I make suffer the most (as a way to process my own dark thoughts), hahaha, but as the others, I imagine for him a happy life. (Even if your corpse is rotting in Amity's forest).

Evelyn Wang: Until last year, I did not have a favorite movie either. That changed after 10 minutes of EEAAO. I have watched this movie at least 50 times just in the following 3 months and I cry every time. If I told you about Evelyn, what should I tell you? I love how she's a little of shit at the beggining. And I look through her eyes, wondering "what if?". I'm in my 20's but everything seems so possible. Being an architect, devouring the world, dying in a traffic accident. Everything is happening at the same time and I feel that I'm falling behind. Her journey is finding the empathy that she lacked to embrace her life. Glimpses of other worlds. A buffet of possibilities and choices. Full of inconditional love. You can look at my cover photo: Is Rock Evelyn, and her phrase "There are no rules" will forever be in my heart (and hopefully, in my skin this year). She made me want to live. (Oh my god, I'm about to cry again). And, as a extra. I know the DMS-V ADHD syptoms from memory and watching the movie was like playing bingo. I'm sorry Percy, but EVELYN? Girl, you don't have ADHD. You ARE the ADHD!

The Warden: He may be the one I care the least, in a intimate sense. BUT JESUS CHRIST!!! The energy this goof has is obnoxious. Fire, hell and rainbows. Oh boy! OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY!!!! (And the mannerisms god lord. I want to steal his gender)

Percy Jackson: And finally, the first character I had a deep relationship with. I mean, I never was sooooo into him. He made me realize that MAYBE I wasn't what we call "straight" hashahsha. (I feel you Nico). Another goof you may say, but I really like the way the prophecy is handled about him , like the gallow of his own death. I don't have something particular for heroes, but he was a very important part of my life (the books in general) when I was a kid. I used to felt them as a part of myself in a way that I usually slept hugging them. I refused for a long time to read the last chapter of The Last Hero because that would be like throwing the last shovel of dirt in the grave of a childhood friend. Because that's what he's to me.

All these people are idiots, have menatl issues and need a hug. What else can I tell you? Probably before I see the last movie of Spiderverse, The Spot may be here too. But probably more related to The Warden than the others.

I guess you can learn more about what type of guy I am through these characters and my relationship with them. [Thx for reading]. (I'd love to learn about yours too).

(That's it baby! Front view picures! Everyone! Smile for the photo! [They're so done ahshahs])

[viktoria-sob]

P.S. please, pretend that you don't see my mistakes😂

Okay, i want to thank @lovely-menza for tagging me in this, although i'm not really much into all these games, but today (1 am already) the exception, cause I want to distract myself from this annoying study at least for a while. Okay, let's start.

1. Are you named after anyone?

Well, I was named after my paternal grandmother (well, that's what my parents told me). And although i didn't know her much, because she died in 2016, when i was like 9 y.o., and i saw her last time when i was a child, i know she was a very kind and wise woman.

2. When was the last time you cried?

Last night 💀. Ye...cool

3. Do you have kids?

I'm 15 lol. But in future, no, i don't want still

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Well, i think so. In my opinion, my friends will say opposite thing, but i guess, yes, i'm a sarcastic person

5. What's the first thing you notice about people?

Well, idk really. But ig it's the way they talk, look like (i mean their appearance), attitude towards other people, friends who surround them

6. What's your eye colour?

Brown

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I prefer scary movies more than happy endings

8. Any special talent?

Annoy people, although they tell me, i'm not annoying 💀. I'm just overthinker, sorry

9. Where were you born?

Ukraine 🇺🇦. Very beautiful country!

10. Hobbies

Well, i had a hobby, ye. Play the guitar. But now i don't play much because of school and studies. I have drawn in the past, although it was rare and I don't see it as a hobby. Maybe, my hobby is listening to music, discover some new live performances (one person helps me with that, and i so appreciate that. Althought he won't see that, because he hasn't Tumblr, but yeah). But listening to music, well, i'm addicted to music. It's like my drugs. I'm in my headphones 24/7, and i'm trying to listening rock music everywhere and under any circumstances. To sum up, ig i'd have an actual hobby if u had more spare time.

11. Have you any pets?

Yes, i do! I have a cat named Baghira (like the panther from the Jungle Book). Alsoni had a dog, but he died long time ago, when i was a child. I cried a lot when i learned that he had died. He was a friend to me, when i was a little. But i git used to it, and now we have just the photos and memories with him. Rest In Peace, my friend

12. Sports you play/have played

Hm, i just like volleyball, badminton, tennis, football (can't play) too much! but I can't develop the skills to play because I don't have many friends, and if I do, they wouldn't play these games with me

13. Height

176 cm (idk, i want to be taller. I'm weird, i know)

14. Favourite school subject

Ha, nice question actually. if we had normal teachers, I would have liked more subjects, but they spoiled my whole attitude towards it. Well, i can say Algebra, Physics (it's tough sometimes, but it's okay. Life isn't easy), i started like Chemistry, we just have a new teacher, and we started LEARN Chemistry, actually learn (although again, this subject is tough a bit, but my friend judt helps me with that a bit, so i understand it) and PE (idk why no one almost likes PE, it's a nice subject)

15. Dream job

Word "job" is killing me already 😂. Because when your parents torture you with questions "what your future job will be?", "look, other your friends and cousins win the school olympiads, what about you?" and i feel like i'm nothing for them. Well, okay then. So...i just want to find a normal, interesting job for me, with 9-5 working hours, and that i can spend also enough time with my future pet and family

Well, thank you for that opportunity talk out 😂. I'm tagging @apparentlyfivebelievers @thespiritofvexation @milkyway-ashes @gomme-savon @dschhh @esusul @creamenthusiast @cinetherat @beardedrainbow @jonesyjonesyjonesy @childoftheriver @alexlifeless @ritchie-is-my-darling @youre-no-good @pageys-tea @rock-aesthetic-y and anyone who wants to join too! Well, you can ignore it, okay :). Many of these people i tagged don't know me, i'm just following them :). Have a nice day/night!

2. when was the last time you cried? About a week ago. Sometimes I cry when I feel really lonely.

3. do you have kids? Nope

4. do you use sarcasm? Sometimes

5. what's the first thing you notice about people? Whether or not they have a memorable face. If they do I'm more likely to remember their name. If they don't... Well, I'm way more likely to forget them, especially if they don't have a unique dress style.

7. scary movies or happy endings? Both

8. any special talents? Not that I can think of right now.

As for pottery, I'm not sure if I'll be able to, especially once I do get a dog because I'll want to be home/with the dog as much as possible.

11. do you have any pets? Not yet.

12. what sports do you play/have played? When I was growing up I did swimming and karate.

And I think I'm supposed to tag people now? I tag @internet-grab-my-tumblr, @assassinationtipsforladies, and @contraltoviola!

Quick warning for my reblog it is long as heck there is a tl;dr at the bottom I think the major point here is no neurotypical could feel like they don’t fit in anywhere and would resort to labeling as adhd or autistic or etc. like that can’t happen. that’s not a neurotypical thing to do. ofc nts can feel like they don’t fit in but they also don’t feel like they fit in with nds either and they know they shouldn’t be there “There is so much more to you than your label” A neurotypical could never pick it out. If they feel seen by reading through the symptoms of adhd or autism or ocd or bipolar or whatever they’ve got something wrong that might be hard to see initially but if that’s the case that’s not what you should be saying to these people. This isn’t what you should be saying to *anyone* but especially not people struggling with not understanding their mental health which is what this post is directed at. “It’s OK to be allistic, there are a million ways to be special without any kind of label.” OOP is professionally diagnosed and if they’re considering themselves on the same mental playing field as these so implied “misguided children” that probably means they think they’re special for it. And if they don’t think that again, this isn’t what you should be saying to these people.  “Self diagnosis is not valid, but you are, as a person, because you are capable of changing your ways and embracing what makes you TRULY special.” As the tumblr op my-autism-adhd-blog said does this person know how much time and money this takes? You need to see a specialist to get diagnosed. You need to show symptoms and have someone notice and go through the process and that’s assuming you can even get yourself to someone who can evaluate you.

 And if you’re a little kid who doesn’t know how to unmask you might not even get diagnosed if you go through the whole process. Self and peer diagnosis is the best most people have at their disposal. All that and coming back to the “special” point; Neurotypicals don’t feel at home in neurodivergent spaces as we don’t feel at home in theirs and no amount of self-gaslighting can change that. Now genuine fakers aren’t a thing, and if I had to guess they’d probably tend to say they’re self diagnosed but that’s deliberate. That’s an intentional facade. ‘...heal from the mindset that a neurodivergent label will make you look cool and validate quirky behaviors...” Okay you know who feels most comfortable around people with neurodivergent labels? Neurodivergent people. That’s kinda, uh, the point. People who use them who shouldn’t be don’t want neurodivergent attention usually. Or don’t get it at all because they don’t trigger the neurospiciness radar.  “I truly sympathize with those who have suffered with symptoms all their lives but never received an assessment.” Uh... no you don’t. Left-handedness chart maybe? Of course there’s more people saying they’re neurodivergent than diagnosed. It’s hard as hell to get diagnosed. That and... these people are. the people posting about autism on reddit and tumblr and twitter and tiktok and youtube and everywhere else. They’re the people populating neurodivergent owned and managed, the head admin’s pronouns are he/spark/it system-friendly discord servers. They’re the people making posts like this. They’re the people using these tags. You’re looking at all of these people and if a professional hasn’t spoken to them and judged they’re autistic they’re just faking and they just want attention. I counter this person, *you* are the one who needs to find a way to be special outside of your neurodivergent label. “...I can see how learning about autism can be validating, empowering and even healing to some. But, times have changed...” They have, and you might be frightened by this incredibly high amount of autistic teenagers in your midst. I know anectodal evidence isn’t the best thing to use to prove my point, but my mother is a great example of this. She has autism, and probably also adhd, but is she diagnosed? nope! do you notice she has either while talking to her? not if you don’t know her well! she got masking beaten into her by *her* mother and never learned how to unmask completely because she didn’t know that’s what she was doing. If you know enough people in a family you can trace the autism inheritance. Times have changed, yes, but for the better as this information has become more widely available through the internet allowing kids to realize they have autism way, way ahead of if and when they would without.  “It’s created much disdain from us diagnosed autistics throughout the years...” Yeah, and that’s a huge misunderstanding. That’s a lack of knowledge of what this all is. Rivalry between diagnosed and undiagnosed people is a *shame* it is only caused by the professionally diagnosed not understanding why the self or peer diagnosed are the way they are. It’s gatekeeping it’s misunderstanding but the point is they all have autism, or adhd, or ocd, or whatever disorder because if I had to guess this is true for every community around stuff like this. People can be wrong but people includes professionals. If I continued to pick apart OOP quote by quote here I’d end up reiterating a lot of points so I’m gonna stop here, but I do want to open up a discussion on this. Respond with your novellas!! i’d love to read them!!   TL;DR 1. A neurotypical would never identify as neurodivergent as they wouldn’t feel at home or feel cool for it 2.OOP do you feel special for having the tism? is that where you see yourself in the world? which yeah fair but like?? 3.Getting diagnosed is hell 4.There’s a lot of self diagnosed kids because of the internet allowing them to learn about autism or adhd from people who have it. Not because of any desire to feel special. 

Saw this on Reddit. What’s your thoughts on this? I don’t think many realize how much money and time it takes to actually get a diagnosis. This goes for everyone. Not just kids. There are self diagnosed adults out there too…

The Aftermath

Pairings: Seth Borden × (Youtuber) Reader

Story Summary: You join your friends, Sam and Colby, for the first time to go investigate a haunted castle. Everything that goes down that night is unexpected, especially what comes after.

(I feel like because Seth is still new to Sam and Colby's channel, he isn't getting as much hype on Tumblr so i figured, why not write a story. hope y'all enjoy!)

Warnings: Cussing, drinking and angst

Word Count: Over 1k

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight is the night i go out with my bestfriends, Sam and Colby. I have been traveling around with them for the last few months, along with my other close friends, Katrina and Stas. Some of the nights, i decided to not be in their videos because of how intense the buildings seemed to me. I am empathetic; so whatever is in those buildings, i can feel or even sometimes see, before most people can. The boys understood, of course. So the nights that i stayed in, the other girls joined. It was a perfect system, i thought when i let my guilt creep into my head. But they never push me to do things that I'm not comfortable with. Especially Colby. He has always had a soft spot for me and i am the same with him as well. Sam is a daredevil. He doesn't care about how intense the hauntings get. I always worry about Sam because of that. Even though he tells me that it's nothing to worry about, i can't help it. Sam and Colby have been by my side through thick and thin, so i always want the best for them. That is why, i am tagging along for tonights investigation. Kat and Stas have already left the house to go to their dinner plans, while we were still packing for our overnight trip.

Colby "Do you remember Seth from when we went to the Conjuring house?" He asks me while he puts on his t-shirt.

"Uh, kind of. Why?"

Colby "He's meeting us there, with his friend Josh."

"Oh that's cool!" I said, all excited to meet new people. That is what i love the most about my job being an influencer online; i get to meet and talk to so many lovely people.

Colby "Yeah! I kinda thought that you two might hit it off so I'm glad that you're coming tonight." He said the middle part under his breath but i caught it.

"Wait what?"

Colby "Huh?"

"Colby fucking Brock you are setting me up tonight aren't you?!" You asked sternly.

Colby "Maybe..?"

"Why?!"

Colby "Y/n..why wouldn't i help you out? You've been my bestfriend for like what, five years now?!" I nodded as i cross my arm's over my chest, "so i know that you've been wanting to be with somebody special and this is a nice kid!"

"Colby-"

Colby "No, I'm not letting you tell me no this time. I know that you two will click as soon as you meet, just like we all did awhile back. Just," he puts his hands on my shoulder's to ease my tension, "give it a chance this time alright?"

"Alright."

Colby "okay good." He kisses my forehead and gets back to packing his haunting equipment into his bag. Sam has been doing the same, all i need was my phone, my camera and changers. Even though i knew that the plan was to sleep there, i didn't bother bringing other clothes and neither do the boys. We all just decide to go with bringing hoodies and wear short sleeves for the weather changes throughout the day.

Sam "Y'all ready to go?!" He shouts to Colby and i from the entry way.

"Yeah!" We shouted back in unison.

Colby "We're comin!" I am more nervous to meet this Seth guy than i am about the ghost investigation. I know that Colby wouldn't do me wrong but still..i haven't been with anyone for two years, and all those relationships since i was a teenager, have been toxic. Colby knew all of that. He knows more than my own family does and that's the way i like it. Sam knows as well, just not in depth like Colby. So, i am in the car with my bestfriends, driving to a haunted castle here in Vermont, waiting to find out what happens tonight. Will i get scared shitless, or will i find my person? Who knows..?

_____________________________________

It takes approximately thirty to forty minutes to get to the castle from the airbnb that we all have been staying at. Along the way there, Josh and Seth met us half way, driving in front of us. I couldn't get a good look at the two, but their mustang was pretty cool, i gotta admit.

"Which guy was it?"

Colby "The one in the passenger seat!" He said with a slight chuckle in his voice.

"Ah, i didn't see him."

Sam "Oh don't worry bubs, you'll see him plenty tonight-"

Colby "Yeah, hell you two can have the master bedroom all to yourselves if you want-!"

"Okay..fuck you." I said sarcastically, laughing as i say it.

Colby puts up his hands in defense, "hey, I'm just sayin!" I can't help but blush so i cover my face, holding my head up with my arm resting on the door.

Sam "Look, she's blushing!"

"Okay guys, seriously?! Y'all are actling like high schoolers.."

Colby "Alright alright, I'm sorry. It's just cute, seeing you blush like that."

Sam "Yeah..Kat doesn't even blush for me anymore and we've been dating for years."

Colby "That's sad."

Sam clears his throat, "let's turn back on the music, shall we?" He does before we can protest and it makes all of us burst out laughing. The rest of the car ride there, was just pure fun. Sam and Colby filmed here and there for their XPLR club and i did some Instagram stories. And honestly, i just feel so happy and grateful that i have the friends that i have.

I can see from my backseat window how massive it really was. The red brick was still vibrant, which was a shock to me..given how old it is.

Colby "whats up guys, it's Sam and Colby!"

Sam "Today, we are visiting the most haunted castle in the United States!"

Colby "Yeah guys, and we are not alone!We are joined by the lovely Y/n-Y/n, say hi!" He pans the camera to me, practically jumping out of my seat in excitement.

"Hiiii!" I say loudly and dramatically, like i always do when I'm on their channel. They both laugh and tell their audience what to expect from today's video.

Colby "Josh and Seth are going to be joining us too, you'll see them in a little bit but you guys, this is going to be insane. Just look how massive it is!" I can't wait any longer, so i grab my belongings and get out of the car.

Colby "oop, and she's gone!"

Sam "Run...be freeee!" I can hear them faintly but i chose to ignore them and head towards the castle doors. I see three men, waiting for me and i quickly introduce myself.

"I'm Steve and this is Dylan." They are paranormal investigators who have been doing this for over seven years.

"Hi, it's so nice to meet you guys!" I shake they're hands as they say the same.

"My name is Andy, I'm the caretaker here!"

"Y/n, it's nice to meet you-thanks for having me!" And after i say that, i hear the boys coming up from behind me. Of course, i notice my bestfriends because they are the loudest human beings on the planet, but then i see a blonde haired guy and his friend next to him. And when i tell you, that i instantly felt my heart jump into my throat..that's an understatement. He's taller than i am, green eyes with long black hair. I try to act normal but Colby literally gave me the death glare, as if it say 'bitch chill!'

Sam "Y/n, this is Seth and this is Josh." He says as he points to the two of them.

Josh "Oh my god!"

"What?!" I asked, mimicking his tone.

Josh "You are so pretty! Like what?!" I breathe out in relief and start laughing.

"Thank you so much!" He hugs me instantly like as if it was an instinct or just the fact that it felt like we've known each other for forever. Then there was Seth, who was quiet. 'Great...' i think to myself. Sam and Colby introduce themselves as i stand by, trying to get my camera out to prepare to film when Seth finally speaks to me.

Seth "Hey, sorry uh.."

"Sorry for what?" I asked innocently.

Seth "For not really saying hi, or really introducing myself. I didn't know anyone else was coming so..you were a surprise."

"Oh, it's okay don't worry 'bout it. Colby told me that you and Josh were coming before we left. Literally minutes before." He chuckles and i do the same.

Seth "Yeah, but it's really nice to meet you though."

"Yeah, you too!" We smile at each other, then i continued to talk with the caretaker and film some informational bits of the video. Sam and Colby do their bits and then i do mine, then Josh and Seth do theirs. We are all in each others videos, just some bits are special and different in each video for the fans to get different content here and there.

Seth "Hey, ya wanna be in mine?" He asked as he notices me standing in the corner by myself, filming some photographs of the first owners and current owners.

"Yeah-yeah sure!" I said excitedly.

Seth "Alright guys, i know that i already introduced her but this is Y/n, make sure you check out her youtube channel, linked in the description! She will be in my videos from now on, so get used to it." I giggle and nod.

"That's right guys, so ya gotta get used to me 'cause there's no going back after this." We laugh together, and i catch Colby smiling to himself.

Seth "How bad do you think its gonna get tonight?" He asks me, in a serious tone this time.

"Well, I'm empathetic..so i can tell-"

Seth "Wait you are?" I nod, "so i am!"

"Really?!"

Seth "Yeah, I've always been. Sometimes it's really bad-"

"Yes! I mean the last time i went with them, i almost fainted because the energy was so heavy." He tells me all about his experiences and i do the same. Talking to him is just as easy as it is to talk to Sam and Colby, which has ben rare for me. Ever since my past relationships, it's been hard for me to open up and talk to people. Sam calls me shy or reserved, but Colby just knows that my guard is up. But with Seth, it's easy.

Colby "Hey, we are gonna go to the next room guys! Ya comin?" We both say yes, and join the group. That was when the ghost shit hit the fan.

...

We didn't even get the chance to fully start the investigation before the ghost activity started. It happened gradually, but very quickly. I could feel the sudden switch in the air and so could Seth. I must have grown very quiet because Seth nudges me.

"Hmm?" I hum quietly but loud enough for him to hear it. However, i do not look at him when i say it. Alarming him even more.

Seth "Are you feeling okay?"

"Not really.."

Seth "It feels heavy doesn't it?"

Colby "You guys okay?" He asks from the opposite side of the room.

"You don't feel it?"

Sam "It does feel different than it did in the other room.."

Colby "Yeah, for sure."

Steve "Let's get the equipment ou-" he couldn't finish his sentence before we all hear a creak coming from the hallway. We all stare at each other and Seth points towards the doorway.

Seth "That was a fucking footstep!"

"That was so clear-"

Colby "It literally sounded like this-" he demonstrates by walking quite firmly towards the doorway, with his heavy boots.

"They had to have heard that!" Talking about the fans.

Sam "There's no doubt.."

Steve "We gotta hurry, let's set it all up guy's." Seconds after we set the equipment up, the rem-pod lights up in the middle of the hallway, exactly where we all heard the footsteps.

"Holy shit-"

Sam "what-that like never happens!? Are you sure its not just calibrating?" He asks Steve.

Steve "No, that is only the music box." He explained.

Seth "That is where we all heard it!"

"Did you guys catch that?!"

Colby "Yeah, I've been recording this whole time, i haven't turned it off yet." He says with slight panic in his voice.

"Are you the i have been feeling in this room? If so, light up the-" the rem-pod goes off, answering my question before i could even get my full sentence out. Seth grabs my arm and hold onto it for a few seconds like it was a instinct or a gut reaction. "Okay..what the fuck!" The boys start freaking out, which doesn't help my panic attack ease because this is the first time i have been targeted before.

Steve "It likes you for some reason."

"Thanks Steve.." i say sarcastically and he and Dylan start laughing. They are all used to it, but me. And i was in way over my head.

_____________________________________

2:30-ish a.m~the investigation ends..

As the investigation went on, the night just got worse and worse; Seth and i saw shadows; black apparitions and disembodied voices and laughs. But most of all, they would not stop coming for me personally. Seth didn't leave my side through it all, which was an immense comfort. I am used to Colby never leaving my side-which he still didn't-but to have Seth not leave, was a different type of comfort. After him and i saw the shadow, we were terrified and we just wanted it all to end. Therefore, when Sam called it a night, i was somewhat relieved. Not completely however, because we have to sleep here..

When all of the gadgets were put away, we all gathered by the pool table that was placed on the second level of the castle, to recap and talk about everything that went down, and give our own opinions about all of the information that we caught on camera.

Steve "Y/n, you were their favorite tonight!" He said jokingly, "are you good?"

"Ugh, yeah i guess so."

Colby "No she's not." I look at him and he looks concerned. No matter how hard i try, Colby see's right through me. "I'm sorry i brought ya into this Y/n.."

"Colby, stop. I'm okay, really. I'm just a little shaken up, that's all."

Sam "I don't understand why they all targeted you..maybe because you are kind of new to this stuff and it's like..your a new face."

"Yeah, i guess so. That does make sense. But some of the shit they said, how would they know..?" They brought up childhood names and objects that only i know about.

Josh "She's a pretty face, of course the old creepy ghosts are gonna want to talk to her!" He says in a lighthearted manner, which made you smile.

"Oh my god!" I shouted from being embarrassed. "I seriously doubt that is why-"

Steve "That was really odd." He admitted, "I've only heard ghost mention deep shit like once or twice throughout my entire career."

Dylan "It could have been an actual family member that joined in to talk to you during that little minute with the whole childhood thing.." he said, trying to ease your mind. I just nod, trying to wrap my head around it all while my fingers push the pool balls back and forth.

Seth "they know that she is sensitive to all of this too." He broke his silence, "that could be another reason. 'Cause i get a lot of moments where the spirits just communicate to me and that's because I'm sensitive. Normally they either go for the broken one's, without any religion or guidance, or mediums and empaths. Which me and you are." I agree with him completely. That is why i don't always come with Sam and Colby because of that fact.

Sam "But like, in all seriousness, how are you feeling, are you feeling weird or anything?"

"I'm just a little dizzy and i have a headache. But that's because i can still feel them."

Colby "Maybe you should go take a break then. Go outside and take a minute or two, i don't want you to get sick bubs." I try to protest but he insists. "Take my keys and go sit in the car for a bit. Come back in when you can." I take the keys and i make my way to the exit. Honestly, i was more than willing to go out and get some fresh air because to me, it feels so claustrophobic in their and it is very hard for me to breathe. I close my eyes for a few moments to collect myself and be aware of my surroundings again and i feel the massive wait and fear lift from off of my chest, once the door closes behind me. It had to have been at least three minutes before there was a knock on the passenger side window. It was Seth. I unlock the door and let him in with a smile on my face.

Seth "Hey-sorry..i just had to come check on you."

"No you're fine. I'm glad that you did."

Seth "That was pretty fucking crazy huh.."

"Yeah it was. But we aren't done yet. We still have hours before we can leave."

Seth "Yeah, and on top of that, Steve and Dylan aren't staying with us." He blurts out, making my eyes widen.

"Wait what?"

Seth "Yeah, after you left, Steve told us that they aren't staying. They have to get home because they have a tour to do in the morning."

"Well that's fucking perfect." I say as i place my head in my palm.

Seth "Look, i know that we just met today and all but, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you okay?" He says with such a gentle tone of voice that eased my nerves instantly. Which normally, only Sam and Colby can do for me. "I'll kill the ghosts again if i have too." I burst out laughing, which makes him laugh.

"Oh yeah? Is that a promise?"

Seth "It's a swear." He smiles at me and i do the same.

"Thanks. I gotta say, I'm not used to a guy willing to kill a ghost for me." He chuckles at that.

Seth "Yeah, i can tell. But I'm different and so are you." Him and i continue to talk for another couple of minutes before we agree to go back into the castle and join the rest of the group. I feel safe now and that is a new feeling to me. Especially around new people.

We meet Steve and Dylan on their way out, said our goodbyes, and then we made our way back upstairs where Josh and Sam and Colby were still at. Josh was playing pool and Sam and Colby were still ranting about me, even though i wasn't there.

Sam "She's fine dude." I hear him say to Colby but Colby just rolls his eyes.

"Hey..what did we miss?"

Josh "Did y'all have a good makeout sesh?" Seth gives him the middle finger and i just chuckles.

"Oh yeah, it was hot." I nudge him and laugh.

Colby "It's good to see you be your bubbly self again Y/n!"

"Yeah, i just needed a break. My headache is gone now." I said with a smile.

Sam "See bro, i told you that she's fine!" He said as he hits his shoulder.

Colby "I know-I know."

"Hey, at least i have someone that cares about me!"

Sam "I care about you! You're my bestfriend, of course i care about you!"

"I know you do" i walk over to give him a little hug before we get back to talking about the night.

Sam "So, are we still playin pool to see who is sleeping alone on that bed upstairs?" When we got here, one of the first things that we were shown, was a room with a casket and a bed by itself. Seth and Sam made a bet for whoever loses pool, has to sleep up their alone for the entire night.

Seth "oh yeah, you're on bro." He says as he shakes his hand and then proceeds to lose in the game that he was so confident in.

Sam "LET'S GO!" He shouts as he does his little happy dance he always does when he wins at literally everything. Seth look so scared and just looks at me and laughs.

Seth "This is great, this is perfect!" He says as he slams the pool stick on the table and starts to walk away. We were all still recording, but soon after that little moment, we all turned off our camera's for the night. I am so drained and just all around exhausted.

Colby "Seth, you don't really have to sleep up there man."

Seth "Bro there was no way i was gonna sleep up there alone!" He admits and we all laugh.

Josh "Well what if me or Y/n joined you, would you stay up their then?"

Seth "Bro, literally shut the fuck up!" He said, forcing a laugh. Honestly, if Seth would have asked me to sleep up there with him, i wouldn't have said no. If it was any other guy, than yes, i would have said fuck no. But with Seth, i feel safe. So, i take it upon myself to make Seth feel less embarrassed because everyone can tell that we like each other.

"Don't feel embarrassed." I whisper to him as he sits down next to me on the couch by the pool table. "Josh is just trying to be funny because we are all scared shitless." He slowly nods and he smiles from ear to ear.

Seth "Yeah, i just don't wanna fuck anything up between us. You're a sweet girl and i don't wanna do anything that will push you away ya know-feel uncomfortable. I've been known to do that..go too fast."

"Mmm, so have i. It's been one of my downfalls in the past. I always fall too fast but i don't think its that way with you. We have chemistry ya know?"

Seth "Yes, exactly. I just didn't like the little remarks Josh has been making because i didn't think that you felt the same way."

"Well, i do. But we can take things in the pace that we want too, not how other people want us too. Deal?"

Seth "Deal."

While the boys were getting prepared for bed, i was in the bathroom when i feel a burning sensation on my back. My entire body felt like i was on fire and i instantly knew something was in there with me.

"Colby! Guys come in here!" Within seconds, everyone was cramming in the small bathroom.

Colby "What?!"

"My whole body is on fire, did something scratch me-can you check!?" He spins me around and he lifts up my shirt. Everyone started freaking out when it was pulled all the way up. "WHAT?!"

Colby "You have like six fucking scratch marks!" He traces the marks with his fingers and it stung even more. "Did this just happen?!"

"I was just washing my hands and my back started burning and then it just like spread, throughout my entire body."

Seth "You need to get the fuck out of here!" Colby puts my shirt back down and Seth grabs my hand, pulling me outside. The boys ended up following us out of panic. Hell, they didn't want to get scratched too!

"How-how bad is it? Like am i bleeding?"

Colby "No, no you're not bleeding. It just looks like cat scratches but its so fucking clear."

Sam "It's like they scratched you once and then a second time in a different place."

Josh "I've only been scratched once and I've never seen anyone else get scratched!"

"I don't know what to do! We have to sleep in that fucking room."

Colby "We are all sleeping in the same room tonight. No one is gonna be alone. This place is too active to do that."

Seth "Guys, I'm not gonna fucking let her go back inside for awhile, this is not good."

Colby "We can't go home, we have no where else to go!"

Seth "I know-fuck man.." he places his hands through his hair and he starts pacing back and forth.

Sam "Are you still burning? Does it hurt?!"

"N-not anymore. I'm just freaking the fuck out, i mean, how is this even possible-GRAB YOUR FUCKING CAMERA!" Josh is the first to bolt to the door and grab his camera, then the rest but Seth. He didn't need a camera, he just wanted to be by my side.

Seth "Let me see." He pushes my shirt up to reveal a less reddened scratch marks along my spine. "Okay, the redness is going down." I take a deep breath and wait to connect my eyes with his.

"Can i stay with you? I mean, wherever you're sleeping-"

Seth "That's not even a question, yes. You're sleeping with me tonight. I was going to ask you but now, after that, i wasn't gonna take no for an answer."

I breathe out, "Okay good." After that, the boys document my scratches for the fans to see and we talk about everything that went down.

Colby "We were literally about to go to bed and then this just happened."

"I can't wait to leave in the morning." I said as i laugh to the camera. Internally screaming.

Sam "But seriously guys, we will see you all in the morning." They all shut off their camera's and then stared at me for a good five seconds. "Are you ready to go back in?"

"Honestly, i just wanna go to sleep. If i go to sleep, I'm not awake to be scared outta my fucking mind."

Colby "Do we need to talk?"

"No, I'm okay Colbs. Let's just go to bed okay?" He agrees but he hugs me first. I love Colby so much that it hurts some times, and i don't understand what i did to deserve a guy like him to be in my life.

...

Before we get undressed and get into bed, we all took pictures for our Instagrams. I take a picture of all of the boys with their White Claws, lookin happy but exhausted for mine. And everyone else took a picture of the outside for their own. Once that was done and posted, Sam and Colby grab couch cushions and decide to take the floor while Josh begged to sleep at the end of the bed.

Seth "Dude no! Go down stairs and get another cushion!"

Josh "I won't take up much room guys, please!"

"Oh my god you're such a child." I say as i laugh my ass off, making everyone else in the room laugh.

Seth "Seriously dude, Y/n legit got scratched, she's sleeping in the bed with me. You legit sleep with me everywhere we go bro, give her a turn." He blurts out and Colby loses it.

Josh "Fine-fine...i guess she does deserve some Seth cuddles-"

Seth "Damn right she does now go to sleep on the floor." He says sternly but jokingly as he points to the floor. When i finally lay my back down to the mattress, my scratch marks burn again and i wince out.

Seth "is it burning?" I nod, "c'mere." He pulls me into his chest so that i can stay off of my back. I instinctively nuzzle into his neck as he holds onto my waist tighter.

Colby "G'night guys!" We all say it back and my eyes get heavier and heavier.

Seth "Get some sleep, I'm not goin' anywhere." He whispered to me and i smile to myself, before i let the sleep wash over me.

_____________________________________

The aftermath of the scary events was unexpected but it was the best outcome possible. I couldn't have imagined not coming to last nights investigation in the Wilson's Castle. Yes, it was terrifying.. but all in all, it was an incredible and exciting night that i had with my best friend's. When i woke in the morning, it was to Colby's alarm that he set for 11 a.m. I slept through the entire rest of the night, which i did not think would happen. The first thing that Colby does is grab his camera.

Colby "It's the morning guy's..we made it through the night." He pans it to show all of us trying desperately to wake up. "We all slept in the same room by the way guys, we didn't make Seth sleep by himself."

Seth "Thanks guys." He said with a deep, raspy tone. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and i force myself up from the matress. Seth does the same, but falls back down from exhaustion. "Its too early!"

Sam "It's 11."

Seth "okay...but we didn't go to bed until 4."

Sam "That is very true."

Colby "I'm in my boxers guys." He says as he lowers his camera to show his legs exposed, and Josh chuckles.

Josh "And I'M the child.." i laugh as i rub the sleep from my eyes and sigh to myself. Everyone leaves the room to get some snacks from their bags that were in the kitchen, while Seth and I remained in bed for a few more minutes. I let myself lean back down and i stretch out my sore legs while he rests his weight onto his right elbow, and faces me.

Seth "Did you sleep okay?"

"I didn't wake up at all." I admitted and he laughs.

Seth "Neither did i. As soon as you hit my chest i was out."

"I know. I was expecting to wake up at the slightest creak in the floor or something but-"

Seth "Me too!"

"I mean, I'm still fuckin' tired but i slept good, thanks to you."

Seth "No need to thank me. Also, did we even move last night?!" I think back on how we fell asleep and then where we woke up and no..we didn't move.

"I don't think so!"

Seth "Oh my god!" We started laughing but the boys come back into the room.

Colby "I told you!"

Seth "Ya did brother."

"Wait what's goin on?"

Colby "I told Seth before we came here that you would be joining us and that you were single-that he would really like you."

"Oh, so you did know that he was setting us up."

Seth "Kind of..but i wasn't expecting him to be right because Colby likes everyone."

Sam "That is so true."

Colby "I can't help it but hey, y'all are fuckin' welcome because without me, you two wouldn't be fuckin cuddling in a haunted castle right now."

"Thank you!" We said in unison and Colby nods and smiles.

Colby "I love you two, it's my honor to bring you guys together."

Sam "Yeah dude, as soon as we met you at the Conjuring house, we instantly knew that you were perfect for her." Seth looks at me then, making me blush. "Were we right?!"

Josh "You two are right-just look at them!" I bury my face in his chest to hide my tomato cheeks from them as they laugh. I'm not embarrassed to like Seth, i just did not expect any of this to be happening.

Seth "Alright guys, you are embarrassing her!"

Colby "Oh am i?!" He asks as he jumps onto the bed, smashing both of us like we are all children again. Completely forgetting where we are and how haunted the building is!

Sam "Alright guys, we gotta get going. We only have this place until 12 and its 11:23!" We all start to panic because we all need to get dressed, film an ending and make sure we have everything packed and put away.

Afterward everything was said and done, Seth and i got each others numbers and he gave me a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

Seth "Call me-text me whenever, I'll answer."

"Okay so..in like 2 minutes?"

Seth "Damn..i was hoping sooner but yeah, 2 minutes. I'll text back."

"Deal." As i get in the backseat of Sam and Colby's car and watch them drive away, i knew that this was not the last time that i would be seeing Seth Borden.

[bukojuiice]

to the most explosive boy i’ve ever loved before — bakugo katsuki

ೃ pairing: katsuki bakugo x fem! reader

ೃ  tags: fluff, angst (if you squint) + letter ! (inspired by to all the boys i loved before) 

ೃ a prelude to @bukojuiice’s 1k followers event! 

ೃ six letters. one for every boy you’ve ever loved. The letters for your eyes only, filled with all the words you could never say. until, one day, they start appearing out of nowhere into your life again, and your love life goes from imaginary to out of control.

ೃ  my nav  →  my mha writing masterlist  → my katsuki bakugo x reader smau

ೃ  please do reblog if you enjoyed!! it really helps writers and content creators on tumblr!  if you want to be a part of my mha taglist. send me an ask!  ♡

You like to save things. Silly things. Ribbons. Polaroids taken during the summer. Old candy wrappers to put behind your phone case. Most especially love letters. Of all the things you save, your love letters are some of your most prized possessions. you keep your letters in a white hatbox your mother bought from a vintage store downtown that sells all kind of things. 

They aren’t love letters that someone else wrote for you; You think that you don’t have those. Because you think that no one has fallen in love with you. No being on this vast earth has had their heart beat 120 times a minute walking past you. In contrast to your ever so wandering eyes. These letters are ones you’ve written using your hand and heart. These are times you’ve written a letter expressing endearment-whether shallow or deep, each one towards a different person.

When you write, you hold nothing back. you write like he’ll never read it. Because he never will. Every secret thought, every careful observation, everything you’ve saved up inside yourself, You put it all in the letter. When you’re done, you seal it, address it, and then you put it in your hatbox.

They’re not love letters in the strictest sense of the word. These letters are for when you don’t want to be in love anymore. When you’re tired of falling for him. They’re for bidding goodbye. Because after you write your letter, you are no longer consumed by your all consuming love. it doesn’t keep you up at night anymore, it doesn’t remind you of him every time you sing along to love songs, it doesn’t make you think of how he wants his breakfast cooked, it doesn’t plague your mind like the homework and tasks you’ve ended up missing... 

it gives you peace and closure.

that’s truly the meaning of the letters. 

they’re supposed to set you free. 

but do they really?

You open up your hatbox, looking for the letter that you wrote to Katsuki all those years ago. 

Once you had found it, you take it out, as the letter was still neatly kept, and wrapped tightly with a light coral bow. You absently smile when you notice the little stickers of the sanrio character badtzbadtzmaru (a character that reminded you so much of him) and pastel red polco stickers attached to the sides. you place the letter on your desk, contemplating on whether or not you should be reading it as you first reminisce why you fell in love with him in the first place.

the two of you were childhood friends. 

It was a cliché at it’s finest, but your whole family was a little in love with him despite his rather pompous and airy attitude. he was the cheeky yet adorable only son of your next-door neighbors who came over after classes to play just dance, or smash bros on the wii with you. during the summer, the two of you would play, camp outside of your houses, go out on picnics and go stargazing at night, and he’d always try his best to cheer you up whenever you were feeling down. there was always a grumpy and gruff tone to his voice when he’s trying to be soft and nice yet, there was always genuine love behind those words. 

but, most importantly, he made you feel special. and not in the way that you felt like he was your responsibility but because despite his attitude, constant brags and whatnot, doubled with his other “friends” constantly hyping him up, further inflating his ego...

You were his reminder to stay on the the ground.

You were there for him to open up to you, to share his struggles and insecurities and to just bare his heart to you. his quirk was powerful and so was his personality, but, his heart only became as strong as his physical capabilities because of you. 

But... what happened?

The second year of Middle School happened. 

Katsuki became a shell of a person he once was. 

He still retained his explosive personality but due to the grueling peer pressure that the Middle School hierarchy brings upon you, he became an asshole who could care less about others, began to bully a seaweed-haired kid your age who just moved in next door, and started to always put himself on a pedestal. 

He was like an Icarus who was flying too close to the sun... and so the two of you drifted apart. 

Just like that.

Then, he moved away that same year, due to the demanding jobs and occupation of his parents.

Gone without even having a chance to say your proper goodbyes to him.

With a heavy sigh, you finally began to read the contents of the letter you wrote for him when he left. As soon as you realized your crush on him was more than just within the confines of puppy love; you brought out a pen and some crafted paper, and wrote to your heart’s content. 

Dear Katsuki Bakugo,

Remember that scene in Lilo and Stitch where Lilo prays for someone to be her friend, asking for the “nicest angel you have.” and Stitch comes crashing down from the sky into her backyard?

That is the best way to describe how you came into my life. 

When I was a little kid, I only noticed the most bizarre features and facets to your personality. The way you scrunch your nose, your facial expressions like that of a gremlin, your cool quirk, and your loud personality... but as I grew older, I noticed a lot of more things. 

I noticed how spiky yet soft your hair was, your passionate crimson eyes that are so full of confidence yet burdened with responsibility, your quirk that became more than just explosions with how you would tell me the science behind it, the way you would talk to me and soften your very loud voice, and how you would even let me win a video game even though you hated losing. 

I’ve learned to look at you in a different light because I’ve fallen in love with you. 

You were like a tiny spark ever since I met you. Effervescent, bright, always appearing, and always beaming. Like a crackle of lightning. You shined bright for others in your own little ways. Constantly growing and glowing brighter like the feelings I had for you.

Ever since, your presence in my life was like a burst of beautiful fireworks popping inside my heart whenever I would think about you. 

However... even though we both started as no one but just little kids, holding hands, and trying to traverse this maze called life...

and now you’re all; your worth will rise, the more I fall. 

I realized that you didn’t need me anymore. 

Like these mementos we have stored, all these these memories we share. 

once were things —

now nothing anymore. 

We promised each other with our pinkies intertwined that we would embark on this adventure to become heroes together. 

yet, what happened?

Katsuki, Suki, Suki-kun... 

If the boy I used to love and cherish with all my heart would come back again... then I wish things could come back again to the way they once were. 

May it be in another day, another year, another time, or even another universe... 

Please come back as the sparkle of light in my life again.

                                                                                                                          Sincerely,

 (Y/N) 

“(Y/N)!” The soft voice of your mother echoes around the house. “Katsuki-kun and his parents just moved back next door? Why don’t you say hi?”

“H-how?” You whisper to yourself, peeking through the window and seeing some moving boxes present in Katsuki’s old room. A familiar spiky-haired boy peaks through the window, noticing your wide-eyed gaze at him. 

His eyebrows furrow, tilting his head slightly at the sight of seeing you.

These were the same crimson eyes, same hair, same old gremlin yet handsome face you’ve wanted to see again for such a long time. 

This was it. It’s him.

“(Y/N)?”

“Katsuki-kun?”

masterlist | a joyful future masterlist | ajf faq | taglist | what do you want to see next? edited: january 12th, 2021

You all settle into one row. Aaron’s on the end beside you, looking very sharp in a crisp black suit, his favorite Rolex, and a settled kind of confidence you’ve only seen in him a few times. It’s like he’s in his natural habitat. 

Aaron’s record as a federal prosecutor speaks for itself, of course, but you’ve never seen him in action. As often as they can, the bureau’s leadership sends him in as an expert witness. This time, the case happens to be one of yours. The judge hasn’t required a sequestration for Aaron, so you get the treat of sitting together in the courtroom. 

He’s scoffed and mumbled snide remarks under his breath all morning. You’re just itching to see him get up on the stand and give this joker an education. 

Emily leans over, whispering in your ear. “I promise you’ve never seen anything like this before. Hotch is going to rip this clown to shreds.” 

You stifle a laugh and look over at Aaron. He heard her. Leaning toward you, he murmurs, “All my JD does is collect dust. When I use it, I’d like to enjoy it.” 

“Your Honor, the prosecution would like to call our expert witness, Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner, to the stand.” 

He takes a breath and rises, buttoning his suit jacket and crossing the courtroom. His presence commands respect and everyone in the courtroom seems to shrink before him. 

The prosecution’s questions go over smoothly, and the defense attorney stands with an unreasonable amount of confidence. 

Emily leans over. “He thinks he can get Hotch with at least one of these questions, and he might. But just watch.” 

You nod, taking everything in. 

“So you’ve stated that it was your profile of the killer that led you and the police to my clients door that night.” 

“Behavioral analysis was a factor in our investigation, yes.” 

Without hesitation, the attorney follows up. “And was behavioral analysis also a factor in the Olympic Park bombings case in Atlanta?” 

“Yes, it was.” Aaron’s eyes and tone never waver, no hint of arrogance or cheek. 

“And was that suspect you identified,” the attorney asks, far too aggressively, “Richard Jewell, ever convicted of the bombings?”

The prosecution objects, and you watch Aaron. Every part of him observes the proceedings with an outwardly detached interest, but his eyes are alive - strategizing and anticipating. It’s like you can see the wheels turning as the lawyers bicker. 

 The judge ends the squabble. “I’ll allow it.”

Aaron, now with permission, answers simply, “No, he was not convicted.”

“Because he was innocent. Your profile led you to the wrong man.” 

Oh, give me a break. It takes everything in you not to scoff and you can feel Emily’s eye roll.

“Jewell was not the perpetrator, but if you look at the real Olympic Park Bomber, Eric Rudolph, you’ll see that our profile was dead-on.” 

Dead-on indeed, Aaron. 

“Well, how about we look at the Baton Rouge Killer? Your unit said that he was white and living in the city. He was Black and from the suburbs.”

Aaron’s eyes narrow and you feel Spencer shift beside you. Emily shakes her head. “Don’t worry,” she whispers. “He always recovers, never in the way you’d expect.” 

“How do you know?”

Emily’s face pulls into a little smile. “I’ve read the transcripts. Hotch is terribly clever.” 

“You said that Dennis Rader, the B.T.K. Killer,” the attorney continues, “was divorced and impotent. He turned out to be married with two kids.” 

JJ huffs, and you hear her whisper to Spencer, “Can we quit with the sermon?” 

His lips turn up. “Just wait.”

Dave leans over and stares them down over Derek. Stop talking. 

All of you look down at your hands like chastised children, but your gaze floats back to Aaron right away. 

The prosecution objects again, this time on the grounds of preaching. The judge forces a question, and the attorney turns back on Aaron.

“Having been wrong on those cases, isn’t it possible that you were wrong about Brian Matloff?” 

“No.” Your chest squeezes. He’s completely firm in his denial. 

How does he do that?

“Fact is,” the attorney continues like Aaron didn’t speak at all, “behavioral analysis is really just intellectual guesswork. You probably couldn’t tell me the color of my socks with any greater accuracy than a carnival psychic.” 

“Objection!” 

Her outburst is unnecessary. Aaron has a plan. His eyes track to you as if to check in. Are you paying attention? 

If you weren’t watching before, you’re certainly watching now. Always. 

“Withdrawn.” 

“Charcoal grey.” His flat assertion makes you gasp and you immediately cover your mouth with your hand to stifle the sound. 

The attorney turns around. “Well, look at that,” he exposes his socks to the court, and they are, in fact, charcoal grey. “He got one right.”

Aaron’s not finished. “You match them to the color of your suit to appear taller. You also wear lifts and you’ve had the soles of your shoes replaced. One might think you’re frugal, but in fact, you’re having financial difficulties.” 

You do your best to school your expression and remove your hand from your mouth. Checking down the row, you see six smirks watching the witness box. 

“You wear a fake Rolex…”

And you’d know. 

“...because you pawned the real one to pay your debts. My guess would be to a bookie.” 

Is he smiling?

“I took this case pro bono.” There’s tension in Mr. Charcoal Grey’s voice. You can hear it behind the false confidence and it pulls a smile from you. “I am one of the most successful criminal attorneys in the state.”

Hotch continues, completely bypassing him. “Your vice is horses.” There’s definitely a little smile on his face now. “Your Blackberry’s been buzzing on the table every twenty minutes, which happens to be the average time between posts from Colonial Downs. You’re getting race results.” Your smile gets wider, and Emily grabs your hand. 

“Just watch.”

“And every time you do, it affects your mood in court, and you’re not having a very good day.” There’s something that looks almost like concern on Aaron’s face, but you know it’s nothing if not facetious. He’s ripping this poor man to shreds without changing a single thing about his presentation.

I love - 

Don’t finish that thought. 

Why not?

Remember how he’s freshly divorced?

I know, but have you seen him?

“That’s because you pick horses the same way you practice law -” 

You lean forward and Emily follows, her thumbnail between her teeth. 

The final blow. 

“- by always taking the long shot.” 

If this was any other setting, you’re sure the entire team would be on their feet, shouting and jeering. But alas, you’re in court, so you settle for a wide smile and a suppressed laugh. Amused brown eyes meet yours from across the room and you shake your head just the tiniest bit. I can’t believe you.

His lips twitch. 

“Well, you spin a very good yarn, Agent, but as usual, you’ve proven nothing.” He’s just trying to recover something, anything left of his dignity. He fails, miserably. 

“If I’m not mistaken,” Aaron says, his eyebrows raised just a little, “the results from the fifth race should be coming through any minute.”

Just then, his Blackberry buzzes on the defense table. “Why don’t you tell us if your luck has changed?”

You raise your hands to your face to cool the rising heat in your cheeks. 

“Your honor, this is - “

The judge takes matters into his own hands. “What do you want me to do? Either show us your Blackberry or cut him loose, counselor.”

Hotch and the defense attorney share a loaded look. It’s a battle of wills. 

Aaron wins. 

“Nothing further.”

+++

When you all leave the courthouse, you practically latch onto Aaron’s arm, completely floored. 

“How did you do that?”

He laughs and Derek jumps up beside him, shaking his shoulders. “Come on, Hotch. That was incredible.” 

“Why have a law degree if you aren’t going to use it?”

+++

He offers you a ride home later that evening and you take him up on it. You’re both still in the car, idling in front of your house. 

“That really was impressive today,” you admit, your eyes on your hands.

You can feel his soft smile rather than see it. “Thanks. I know it didn’t quite go the way we wanted as far as the case itself, but there’s more to come.” 

“It’s never as bad as it looks in the first couple of days.” 

“Exactly.” He sighs. “Thanks again for being there today. It’s…” his lips twist as he thinks, “nice to have the team around.” 

You reach out, squeezing his forearm before immediately letting him go. “Of course. We’ll always be there for you. Plus, there’s nothing better than watching you tear blowhard lawyers to shreds in a court of law.” 

“I’m not sure that’s exactly how it went.” 

“You’re kidding!” You laugh. “That’s just what happened. The man left without half his soul! You absolutely tore it from his body.”

The pair of you quiet, and you move to get out of the car. He stops you with a hand over yours as you unclip your seatbelt. “Really. Thanks for being there today.” 

“I can’t emphasize this enough - it was my pleasure.” 

Enough of a pleasure as it was, his smile in the dark of the car is the best part of your day.

[thejabberwookie]

I’m looking for a small handful of roleplays in the Psychonauts fandom. I only play OCs right now, but I may pick up some canons once I become more comfortable. If you’re interested, you’re welcome to play whoever you want. I’m not super picky as long as your selection doesn’t completely derail the plot or something. I roleplay on Discord or through E-Mail. Both will be listed at the bottom of this post. You can message me here if you’re more comfortable, but I don’t roleplay on Tumblr. Not knowing how everything works yet makes me super anxious. The prompts/flavor texts are just to get the ball rolling. If you have suggestions, feel free to mention them!

Please Be:

✔ Willing to be flexible with posting time tables. I’m coming back from some RP burnout. ✔ Okay with me occasionally writing a whole bunch. I can be wordy. You don’t have to be. Just let me do me and you do you. ✔ Someone who cares about grammar, spelling, and good story telling, and someone who is over 18. If you contact me, I will ask for both your age and a sample post so I know we’re compatible.

Characters & Prompts

Agent Verona Moss She/Her - Psychonaut, Active Agent - Late 40s A bit of a crusty old gumshoe kind of personality. Specializes in Herbaphony/Cryokinesis. Raised by another crusty old gumshoe, and is looking to solve the mystery of his disappearance. A lone wolf-- fun to pair with the opposite. 👁 “Hey kid. Who let you in here?” Agent Moss has been doing some investigating off the books. So has your character. Turns out they’re looking into the same mystery. They would both rather the other not rat them out. 👁 “I don’t care what they told you. I work alone.” Too bad. HQ has decided that this is a two-fer mission. That won’t stop Verona from trying to give your character the slip. Can they keep up? Lyeona Swift She/Her - Psychic Wildlife Management - Mid 30s Looks like a grouch. Very serious. Also an utter sweetheart. She often feels on more solid footing with animals than people, but she loves kids and volunteers frequently at Whispering Rock as a Wildlife Educator. Has an oversized fire starting puma as a tag-along (no matter what she tries to get rid of it). Specializes in TK and Zoolepathy. 👁 “Okay, don’t move... it’s not as bad as it looks...” Your character stumbles into a sticky situation with some of the local fauna. Lyeona can totally help. Er-- just don’t look it in the eyes... or show it the color yellow... or-- 👁 “I’m not really an agent... Are you sure you don’t want someone more qualified?” The usual Zoolepathy specialists are all unavailable, but there’s someone down at the camp that has a pretty good reputation with animals, and it’s a skill that’s very much needed for your character’s mission. The details of the mission are classified, of course, but how hard can it be to keep them from one civilian? 👁 “An intern, huh? Alright. Put on these gloves.” Time to learn how to wrangle some psychic animals! Krepta Draconis - BONUS ROUND Warning: Crossover Character - Shapeshifting & World-Walking Nonsense And just because she’s my favorite and I shamelessly include her in everything, if you’re cool with crossovers, let my crazy, dimension hopping warrior woman take your character on some adventures! Age will honestly depend on what time in her life we pick, so we can plot that out if you’re interested. Discord: Jabberwookie#5707 Email: thejabberwookie@yahoo.com
