#And good for me because I will get to save up my diamonds and wishes!

Remember everyone: it is okay to dislike the new banner.

It is not okay to shame people and call them names for liking it.

Do not yuck people's yum.

Avoid using strong words like hate, disgusted etc. if you don't want to pull drama to yourselves and hurt other people in the mean time.

As someone who is into softer things, so far from the trailers, it looks like this one is not going to be for me however I'm very happy for people who seems to be loving it! Good for you!

Going from 700 diamonds to 56 diamonds a week is going to be very painful

[theeternalwombtarot]

what kind of seducer are you (18+)

this is me using my mornings to be productive and doing what I said I would do for you guys in the first place lol, these readings take me a long time and a lot of energy even if it doesn’t seem like it so I hope you enjoy these and find them entertaining <33

***

i.

I’m giving immediately everyone wants to see you everyone wants to be around you or people perceive you to be someone well known and well sought after and that within itself is the pinnacle of your allure. Everyone has to have you. You’re a wish fulfillment to many people I’m hearing it girl. I’m also getting debutant vibes like there’s this very timeless beauty that you manifest, or like Bridgerton vibes, you’re the diamond of the season, everybody sees you, everyone wants to look at you, everyone wants to know what you’ll do next.

I’m hearing people also see you as someone who can protect and love very well and it makes them feel very greedy about you. Your energy is enlightened, you heal, you love. And when you have energy like that people can be very attracted to it and desire to have it all for themselves. To overconsume. Like I hear people saying that your energy, the type of person you are is very scarce and they’d like to have a taste, they’d like to have you for themselves.

I’m also getting people may think you’re very good in bed or they fantasize about you and what you can do I’m hearing you’re very beautiful. You’re a perfect embodiment of what desire and love is. You could be a virgin or be very protective over your sexual energy and who you give yourself over to and that curiosity and desire to dive into you is what really attracts some people to you. You make people very thirsty. You’re a reservoir of water in the desert.

Im hearing you’re the one thing people make sure to ask their God for. You may bring people a lot of peace and solace and people see you to be a nurturing person or someone they want to rest with or be around in their time of hardship in need. Like when we had nightmares as a child and we went to lie with someone we knew would keep us safe or would support us or listen to us even if what we were afraid of felt silly or unreal.

People sense that your accolades are within. Like you don’t have to prove yourself or display your talents or achievements publicly or through things that are physical and tangible because people know and you know that you are a good person and have many talents and wonderful attributes and abilities. People also believe that you’re very wise and smart as well. And I’m hearing that you may even take the sexual charge out of people not in a bad way because you’re very desired but you take out the ache and the craving of being sexually driven to fill a void because people see you as fulfilling enough or a lot already without having to sleep with you or use your body for healing.

You make people feel as though they can have all the things they fear they cannot or don’t deserve.

***

ii.

There’s something about your emotional receptivity or your emotional energy that brings people to you. You could be a masculine energy or a man because I got the king of cups. People feel that you care very deeply about a great deal of things even to the point of it troubling you. They feel you have a lot of heart and that you would be ideal for marriage or long-term commitment because they know you’d love them with everything you’ve got and for a long time.

People may feel as though you can heal them or open up their hearts to be saved because you understand them or you may relate to their sorrows and worries. I hear “They’re filled to the brim with love.” You may attract people who’ve come from broken homes or come from places where they weren’t very loved or valued and people feel as though you can shower them in love and affection and fill a hole in their heart. People may leech off of you at times or drain your energy because they see the things they did not receive at crucial moments in their life in excess in you.

I’m hearing people saying that your love is like love. Your s*x, your affection, and your touch is what love is supposed to feel like. You may be very gentle but rough at the same time, very strong, and give off very protective and patient energy. I'm hearing that people fall for you very fast and very hard. You're almost addictive and it takes them long bouts of time to feel their really free of the effect you have on them. People feel you even in your absence when you're not around to have and to hold. You're a lot to miss. You're a lot to love and be loved by. There's so much excess.

You could give off very paternal energy. The girls with daddy issues love you, the boys with daddy issues find themselves wanting to crawl into your lap too. You could be very dominant as well. Stubborn, strong-willed, and unwavering. People find very high expectations for what it means and what it feels like to be loved by you. I’m hearing “I wouldn’t wanna be any place else.” People want to stay with you. You could be very prone to be caught in long-term relationships even if you don’t intend to stay for very long because people hold onto you so tightly.

You almost make people want to be willing to share cause they know other people want your time and attention and love to and they’re not ready to ever let you go on to someone else. The people are also saying that you’re very action-oriented and very driven and that makes them want to follow you wherever you go.

***

iii.

People could see you as very relaxed as well as very intellectually aware. They see you as very level-headed and smart. You’re someone people see as destined for success or someone who can’t help but be on top or come into a lot of good fortune within their lives because you’re just naturally very strong-minded and steady.

People may also see you as someone who isn’t afraid to take risks and is very brave in life. They see you as someone who is consciously aware of their inner calling in life and is intentional about the things they do and know exactly where they are going and that level of stability and knowing attracts people to you. It’s as if they’re saying if this person is stable and knows what they want out of life surely I can learn something and even if I don’t this is the person I want to spend time with.

Im hearing please don’t stop the music by Rihanna as well. People see you as a fun time or a night they never want to end when they spend time with you. People may also think you’re very good to sleep with as well like after a night with you their world is rocked and they want to stay right where they are. People see themselves enveloped by a little bubble while there with you. Nothing else matters. Nothing else is important. This energy really reminds me of Bed Peace by Jhene Aiko and Childish Gambino.

People feel as though you have a thirst for life, like you’re challenging the status quo, like if the world were to shift or change or if everyone woke up one morning and decided they were gonna do what they wanted to do, not go to work, not go to school, eat whatever they wanted, kiss the person they loved or be in any way spontaneous it would be because of you. I’m hearing “you’re a firecracker.”

People are attracted to you, seduced by you, because of the freedom you offer them. You radiate self-love and expression and they desire to be in that energy themselves. You’re like art. Like the countryside or loud jazz music that’s being overheard from the window on a long summer night.

Self Aware AU (Xavier)

Summary: You have the lowest Affinity with Xavier. The reason is because you feel bad for the Queen MC and vow to play only the main story for his path so that you can find a way to return him to Queen MC safe, sound and happy end.

"The Hunter Contest is nice. But trying to complete it is another story."

"You know. You have that lover boy. Why can't you just use him? He has a lot of green gem, right?"

"Protocore."

"Same difference. Just... Use HIM. You need the red diamonds, right? For that new... story... liking all of them, by the way."

She huffed, "Why don't you just play it? Are you going to sit next to me when I roll the gacha again?"

Your friend grinned, "Of course. I'm your lucky charm. Besides, I'll need a good phone to download it, right? Let me collect my funds first then we can shout out and grimace to our hearts content."

You chuckled.

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

"I know you hate being Lumiere but I kinda need to pass this level, 'kay."

He blinked. Confused to hear your voice right now.

Girl. I don't care. Just use me all you want. Our Affinity is almost there. I can feel it.

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

"Look. Look! I got the birthday card!"

"How many times you wanted to show it to me? It's not that lover boy, though."

"Heyyyy... I'll get his too. Birthdays are much more important than other limited 5* so far. Wish I could get the fishie's one. Shouldn't have been so stuck up on exchanging the diamonds for the Blue Ticket at that time."

"No worries. Nothing special."

"It is though. Maybe there's not much happening compared to Snowy here."

"If Snowy got a birthday kiss, your lover boy will definitely get one too." You friend wiggled her eyebrows.

"Shush."

"Still going to get it?"

"Yes."

"Woah. Didn't you say-"

"Birthdays are special. I'll compromise. He still belongs to Queen MC."

Your friend sighed.

"You have the red umbrella one though."

*SMACK*

"Ouch!"

"Travel companion. Nothing more, nothing less."

She smirked, "Sure~"

You pouted.

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

"Haven't been able to force myself out lately. Do others have a higher Affinity with her now?"

He looked solemnly all around the cafe. It looks like she changed the cafe to the beach one. He liked the breeze here.

*Ding*

Head whipped quickly. The entire body automatically returned him to the designated spot.

"Oh, Xavier. It's been... a week? Yeah, a weak... Nice to see you."

As do I - a big inner smile

"Lumiere is a lot of help. Ah, sorry. I just completed your Light Seeker cards. The story is beautiful. Finally I could experience it in-game. I could only see it from fan sharing before."

She quitened.

"I really hope you could be with her in Ulruru soon."

She tapped the Stamina for the evening and logged out.

He could only stare. The mouth. Her mouth. Your mouth. He saw it.

He blushed, "It's cute."

Clearing throat, "Did she change her phone or something? Her front camera is on perfectly fine this time."

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

You were restless. Findling with your phone. Your friend pinched you.

"Aww!"

"It was just his birthday. AND... You already KNOW about it from the official news. Just LOG IN already."

"Jeez... Calm down. How about YOU log in first so that I'll know what to expect."

She stared, "Good idea. I'm sick of your nerves."

Your friend logged in. The Event icon has a NEW indicator on the corner. She tapped at it and the event started. You were awed by it. Mentally prepared on the event when you logged in after this.

"Happy?"

You grinned, "Totally."

"Diamonds?"

"Enough to get R1 but of course if and only if others didn't bother my 50/50. And of course if I already get it in the first 50/50 I'll stop."

"Saving for future?"

"Saving for future."

They laughed simply.

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

"Finally my plan is fruitful. For two days... It's going to be just you and me." She spoke to her phone.

"And chores...hahahahahaha..."

"Xavier's birthday is tomorrow. I'll log in at night. Judging from past birthday events, the video call happened after the birthday celebration. I'm going for his card tonight and watch it afterwards. Wait until tomorrow's night to answer the phone call to feel more canon. Yup. Good plan." She grinned confidently.

"Let there be... songs~" She proceeded to play songs on her phone before continuing with her chores in a high mood.

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

~Hmmhahmm~

He blinked, "She sounded happy today. Probably hyped up by the birthday event."

"You've been appearing frequently. Maybe because of your birthday event. We'll meet tonight, 'kay."

Her chuckle got cut off.

He smiled, "We'll definitely meet tonight."

-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------&&&&&-------

Plates full of food. Phone charged, currently has been set up well in front of you. Eating dinner while pulling the gacha and having a good time out of the birthday story will be a nice night for you after a long day of chores.

"What does the moon look light tonight?"

"Sloppy. Hungry. The moon outside is chilling well with the clouds though."

You joked around. A small unusual upturned of the lips when unnoticed.

"Let's get your birthday card, yeah."

*Bling*

You gasp. It was his birthday card. Your 50/50 were not wasted. You jumped out of happiness. Coughing afterwards to the food you chewed being jostled uncomfortably in your mouth. Forgetting that you were still eating.

After settling down, you immediately watch the memories. Tissues prepared for the big confession.

The dance was almost over. He stared at you. You briefly noticed his eyes looked different. Or maybe your imagination from the sobbing you're having right now.

"Here it comes... Here it comes... The confession."

"I... ... ..."

Your cupped your mouth to hear it better.

"I'm real."

Blank. Your mind took a screenshot of what you just heard.

He lifted MC and whispered the next dialogue.

"I see you. Please don't be scared. I'm real."

The scene didn't stop as MC seems to whisper something in his ear. He smiled but his eyes glanced straight at you. The real you. Not MC.

The scene faded as they kissed in front of the water fountain.

The memory ended.

Your hands trembling.

Slowly taping your way to the front screen. His birthday's attire glistening in the golden light. Face conjured up to one you've never seen before. Stuck that long on his face.

"Breathe."

You cough. Immediately standing. Just realizing you're holding your breath.

"Hey. Hey. I apologize. Go. Go drink some water or just... lay down or... anything to get you to calm down."

Watery eyes blearly saw his gestures were free will now. A bit closer to the screen. Not on his designated spot.

You sucked a deep breath, "I need to sit."

You crumbled onto the floor with your back flattening on the nearby cabinet.

Silent.

A few moments pass.

"Umm... Hello..."

Silent.

" -sigh- she passed out."

my tears ricochet

Inspired by Taylor Swift “my tears ricochet”

MASTERLIST PINNED

WC: 1.4k

Warnings: cheating; breakup; fighting; angst; swearing

.

.

We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room

And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too

Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe

All the hell you gave me?

'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you

'Til my dying day

.

.

It took him 4 minutes to walk away from the last 2 years. 240 seconds to say goodbye. He didn’t even come inside. He stood on the front porch, like a coward. I followed him as he walked to his truck. I screamed his name between sobs. He started the engine and drove away.

.

.

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And you're the hero flying around, saving face

.

.

*2 months later*

I take a deep breath and call Bradley. He is outside 10 minutes later, ready to drive me to the bar. “Thanks, B. I didn’t want to walk in alone, but I really miss everyone.” He smiles, “I told you I am always here for you. I mean it. They all miss you too.” I mentally prepare myself to see Jake for this first time since that night. We haven’t spoken. He hasn’t even come to pickup his things. Bradley parks the Bronco and we walk into the Hard Deck. The team immediately spots us and waves us over to the pool table. Phoenix wraps me in a hug, “Y/n! It’s been too long!” “Hey Phe.” I smile and Bradley brings me a drink. The evening is nice. Everyone is chatting and shooting pool. I see Bradley’s posture stiffen and I turn to see Jake walking towards the group. He puts on his big old smile and greets everyone. His eyes meet mine and he just smiles. I roll my eyes and watch him put on his show. Darts, pool, his general asshole demeanor. Bob comes over and pats my back, “Happy you’re here, Y/n. I was so sad when Jake told us you left. Thought I wouldn’t see you around anymore.” I laugh, “So that’s his story, funny.” Bob raises his eyebrow and I notice the rest of the group getting quiet, trying to listen. I speak a little louder, not caring who hears, “I’m saying it’s funny because he just stood outside the door one night and said he ‘couldn’t do this anymore’. Then he drove away. Like a coward.” The group is silent and I see Jake’s cheeks go red. I raise my glass towards him and take a sip of my drink.

.

.

And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

Look at how my tears ricochet

.

.

*4 months later*

Phoenix decides to throw a party for me officially finishing my residency. We end up at the Hard Deck, like always. Bradley and I spend most of the night dancing. I’m not sure what is growing between us, but I like it. He is sweet. He is thoughtful. He is gentle. He is the exact opposite of what I am used to. We finish our dance and head back to the group only to see Jake playing pool. His eyes meet mine and I see something in them I haven’t before, heartache.

.

.

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean

Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring

You know I didn't want to have to haunt you

But what a ghostly scene

You wear the same jewels that I gave you

As you bury me

.

.

*6 months later*

Things with Bradley moved fast. He officially asked me out right after Phoenix’s party and we have been inseparable since. He had always been such a good friend to me that it just felt natural. It felt safe. And now here we are, celebrating our engagement at the Hard Deck. I came home after doing my first major surgery without my mentor and he was there waiting for me. “B, you didn’t have to! I know you wanted to go see everyone.” He kisses me, “I wanted to wait for you! How did it go?” I tell him about the surgery in great detail. He stands in the bathroom as I shower to listen to my story. He hangs on every word. I start to get ready and realize my lucky scrub cap isn’t on its hook. He watches as I look for it, seeing it on the foot of the bed. I pick it up, “Can’t lose this.” He smiles. I feel something cold and metallic. I turn it around to see a ring. Bradley gets down on one knee, “Y/n, it’s you. You’re everything I want. Everything I need. I need you by my side until my dying day. Will you marry me?” I nod my head yes and get down with him, wrapping my arms around his neck. He kisses me, “I’m really happy you said yes, it would’ve been so awkward going to celebrate with our friends if you said no.” I laugh and follow him to the Bronco, glancing at the beautiful ring on my left hand. We walk into the Hard Deck to see that Penny has put up banners and balloons to celebrate. I hug her tight, “You are the sweetest. Thank you.” She kisses my cheek, “You deserve this.” I walk over to our friends and they is a chorus of congratulations. Bradley heads to the bathroom and Jake walks over from the dart board. He is wearing the St. Michael necklace I got him for his birthday. The patron saint of the military and doctors. The saint of protection. Of courage. Of leadership. He clears his throat, “Congratulations, Y/n. I am happy for you.” He smiles but his eyes look dreary. He isn’t clean shaven and his hair is disheveled. I put my hand on his shoulder, “Thanks, Jake.”

.

.

And I can go anywhere I want

Anywhere I want, just not home

And you can aim for my heart, go for blood

But you would still miss me in your bones

And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky)

And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies)

.

.

I notice Jake distancing himself from the group slowly. When he is around, he keeps to himself. Part of me feels bad for him, but then I remember what he did. How he threw us away. I remember the messages I got from a random instagram account. A woman who apologized. She didn’t know he had a girlfriend. He hadn’t told her. My heart feels heavy remembering the pain. Then there’s B. B who writes me letters every day he is deployed. B who puts little post it notes of encouragement in my lucky scrub cap. B who loves me with everything he has.

.

.

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Cursing my name, wishing I stayed

You turned into your worst fears

.

.

Bradley is deployed and I miss him so much. I start drifting off to sleep on the couch when the doorbell rings. I turn on the porch light and open the door. Jake is standing there, looking at his feet. I step out onto the porch so that Bradley can see whatever this is on the Ring camera. “Jake? What are you doing here?” “I wanted to tell you that I am PCSing. Norfolk. Next week.” “Oh. Okay. Well, take care of yourself Jake.” He sighs, “I am sorry. For everything.” I cut him off, “Jake you don’t have to-“ “No, please. I need to say this. Y/n, I became the guy I never wanted to be. I could barely face you after what I did. And then Bradshaw, I saw how he looked at you. How he treated you. I had that. I threw that away. Y/n, I am going to regret what happened between us for the rest of my life.” My eyes water and he continues, “I wish you nothing but the best, okay?” He hugs me and I sniffle, “You too, Jake. Be safe up there.” He starts walking towards his truck and looks back, “I spent so long competing with Bradshaw and I thought we were just alike. Now I can see he is so many things that I will never be.”

A gem that shines the brightest

bridgerton x sister reader

There are gems that shine like a diamond in the world, that can attract attention even due they might look the brightest at first they soon do shine.

y/n " ......." you are sitting in your room as the rest of your family seem to be gather down stairs ready to leave for the ball. As you were trying to come up with a way to not attend this ball, with the rest of your family. The family you had been born into the brigerton had been well know for their beautiful daughters and handsome son. There had been times when you left like you were out of place, and ton society had made sure you were well know of it as well.

Violet " y/n dearest are you ready for the ball"

y/n " umm mama no"

Violet " dearest what the matter" your mother always the loving and caring mother, had open your bedroom door and came inside.

y/n " I don't feel like going mama I think it will be best, if the rest of the family attends the ball"

Violet " ......."

Daphne " mama is y/n ready for the ball ... oh"

Eloise " dear sister please tell me you are attend this ball with us"

y/n " I.... "

Eloise " she will love to" Eloise had taken your Lemond glass and Penelope took Tristan glass.

Penelope " have fun"

Tristian " thank you" Tristian had taken you hand and escorted you to the dance floor, soon joining all the other couples as a new song soon began. The pair had started dancing together and it soon felt like, they are the only ones in the world.

Tristian " you look beautiful but you always look beautiful"

y/n " thank you Tristian and you look handsome today, you trip away has done you well"

Tristan " yes I'm home and I might stay a bit longer here, as my uncle aunt along with my mother said it will be good for me to take a break"

y/n " it will be good to have you here"

Tristian " maybe when I'm here I can call upon you for some tea or strolls in the park"

y/n " I will love to if you are fine with me ask you to come with me, and my brother or mother to some opera or museum anything else"

Tristan " I will love to my lady bridergton" you giggle giving Tristian a smile as he spins you around on the dance floor, the young pair looking like the perfect couple.

Violet " is that y/n dancing with Tristian"

Lady Danbury " yes it my friend it seems like your daughter, has found her match"

Antony " normal a brother will go interrupt this dance but I will allow it"

????? " good evening violet, lady danbury, Antony"

Violet " Lady Katherine it seems like your son has asked my daughter for a dance"

Katherine " oh yes he had rush off once he heard word he was here, he was going to see her yesterday when he arrived home but wait until tonight"

Antony " they have been exchange letters while Tristian was away"

Violet " Antony"

Antony " I didn't read them mother I just saw them but it many if you all three which to know .... oh I see a friend of my good evening ladies" Anthony soon left the three women to talk among themselves and watch everything as well.

Katherine " I'm happy for my son and your daughter she has done well this year"

You have become a gem that has shine the brightest even if you are not name diamond of the season, you still shined.

Do you think tkdb wishing well is being stingy lately? It used to give me 20k+ diamond if you switch to next banner then back to wishing well banner 😣

now they only give me diamond under 10k 😭

It sucks so bad as an f2p and only pull when my favorite oshi banner appear! The 500 pitty is not helping at all 😔

Now im feeling helpless cause lvl up card there is such a nightmare and a lot of higher lvl resource need diamond to purchase! And unlocking ssrs now feels so darn difficult... 😵‍💫

IT IS TOTALLY BEING STINGY!!!!! It gave me so little diamonds as well!

Here are my tips for f2p players to level up in order to get better results in arena and missions, I hope it helps someone:

You probably have heard of this one already, but level up only ONE card. If you have one SSR, focus all tour resources on it. Tkdb is wonky and one powerful card works better than a balanced team.

Pull on the free moonlight paint banner and the mr mo banner EVERYDAY! Leveling up your warding cards with moonlight paint makes a HUGE difference and so does making equipment.

That being said, craft equipments! Even if it's R tier, it'll already make a difference. Remember to check which types of equipment your card uses when crafting. You can choose to craft one SR or one SSR equipment as well to give it a boost, but it'll take a longer time to create a set.

GEMS! Equip gems everywhere, especially in your warding card and don't forget to level them up! You can get gems through the suitcases and you can get golden and silver keys to open them on the Arena shop and the Guild Shop.

Don't forget to hatch Guardian Spirit eggs, ALL OF THEM. Equip the highest tiered spirits in your card and level them up individually. You'll need a lot of spirits because they're used as fodder to level up.

Gapples are tough to get, but there are some ways you can get some. First on the phoenix exchange: you can use green feathers to get a few gapples. Then there's the premium shop: you can use 1000 dark matter to get 15 gapples, so if you have a lot of of them saved, you can get one set per day

If you can, pull on your card's banner once it reruns so you can awaken its warding card and, if you're lucky, your card as well. If you get to mission 70, if I'm not mistaken, you'll get the story unlocked, but you'll need to keep going through the missions so you can keep leveling up your campus and that's essential as well.

Maybe you already knew all of this, but that's basically how you can do your best to power up your card while being f2p! Good luck 🫂

YESSS I SO AGREE!! omggggg she’s such a productive queen. and after she finishes her trilogy, mailing a signed copy to her man, duh, she’s already working on her fourth. but this one is a standalone, i think. “the diaries of the soldier’s lover,” she titles this one. and she writes about how simon essentially saved her from losing her mind in year 10 and how she wishes she could be like a little angel on his shoulder, following him always. she names herself his guardian angel and thanks him deeply for the love that he has helped to grow, like a rose blooming with no thorns.

and she mails him a copy of this, too. and i like to think that for her first trilogy (some fantasy story she conjured) she used a pseudonym. but this one has her name written all over it. because she’s just so proud of him!! and she’s signed his copy, with big frilly letters and a heartwarming message.

price is like, “damn, simon, gettin’ a lot of mail lately, aye?” whenever simon comes to get his weekly mail from price’s office, and simon is too choked up to even say anything. did a tear just stain the page? no, surely it’s raining in here. or the ceiling is leaking! surely.

he reads this book like his gospel, and he’s sure that with this one, the book that he inspired, she’s touched the hearts of many wives out there. his wife is a famous author. all things that will be true within due time.

he writes her a letter, a simple diamond ring tapped haphazardly inside the envelope. “does it count if i ask you to marry me through parcel?” he writes, messy scrawl and silly little arrows and correction markings.

she cries, too. and yes, of course it counts, you oaf. she wears that ring everywhere. her husband is a lieutenant, she finds out in his next letter. he is a leader. and a damn good one.

she wears this ring even after price has shown up at her door, metal necklaces dangling from his fingers and his boonie hat long forgotten — his head bowed in shame.

AGHHGGHHH this au is eating at my brain and im not even mad i dont even caaaaare, they’re so precious and broken and they fit together. and im so sorry for the angst it just kinda happened…… 😣

— 🍓

NO YOU DIDNT. NO ANON HOW COULD YOU, YOU KILLED SIMON OMG.

In all seriousness that’s a damn good idea, anon, you should actually write it out, it’s sweet and it sounds really nice and it’s so so warm.

God, I almost cried on the part with him typing in a ring and asking her hand in marriage, god, of course Reader would marry him, how could she not. God, actually, step aside Reader I’m gonna marry this man. Oh my god.

And Price showing at her doorstep with Simon’s dogtags because it’s not the first soldier he’s buried but damn, if this wasn’t a special one. And I’d imagine your Reader wearing his dogtags until the day she dies, talking about him like he’s still alive.

She’d probably say things along the lines of “Yeah, my husband is really proud of this one, thank you so much” or “Yeah, I’m sorry, I’m not available. I’m married” and people always get a little worried when they find out Simon is no longer alive.

Because she keeps on living and she still talks about him like he’s there. And maybe for her he really is. Maybe that’s the way she keeps herself tethered to reality, joining the support club and writing another book — talking to the spouses of other military personnel through them. Sharing their pain, extending her hand through the pages and kind of saying “hey, I feel it too. I know your pain. You aren’t alone. I’m here”.

And she never judges other spouses for their ways of coping because hey, she gets that. She knows how it feels to choke on tears when the love of your life is lowered into the ground.

She knows how it feels to write to someone who can never answer, she knows how it feels to turn to talk to someone who’s not there anymore, how it feels to forget sometimes that hey, he’s dead.

Someone once wrote that when their spouse died they felt so shocked and overwhelmed that their first subconscious instinct was to call the said spouse and share news with them. Their first instinct was to go for comfort to the person they lost.

That’s how (i think) your Reader would feel in lieu of Simon’s death.

Luckily for the rest of you, who aren’t me and strawberry anon, im not gonna kill Simon. I have fragile heart, I wouldn’t do that to you, guys *pats your backs* death is too finite for me.

And I like to get real creative with suffering (damn that sounded ominous)

Breaking News: Branch from Brozone got arrested for drunk driving...

Branch Left Guy Diamond's party, not knowing that he was highly intoxicated and speeding. The cops caught onto him, and when news broke that Branch from Biozone got arrested, everyone was shocked, even his girlfriend, Queen Poppy. They all wanted to go down to the station to visit Branch, but they weren't allowed to for some reason. Branch did meet some old friends way back in the Trolls band together.

-------------------------------------------

As the cops opened, the Branch's jail cell was tiny cause he was just a troll. Branch was just sitting there across from him. I was the superstar twins who used to be as Velvet saw Branch. "Hey you!" she called out as Branch looked around "Over here, peanut brains." veneer called out as Branch saw across from him it was the twins "Good to see you, the guy who got us arrested." velvet said with her usual sass

"umm veneer was the one who got you both arrested Plus you did kidnap and nearly kill my brother and your attitude hasn't changed much after all those years." branch replied

"No, I did not! Wait, did I? Oh, haha, yes, I totally got us arrested." Veneer said

"What brings you in there?" veneer asked. "Did karma finally hit you?" velvet asked, not making eye contact with the blue troll

"Let's just say I was a bad boy; I did some bad thing; I swear I did it all for fun, and it meant nothing," Branch said. "And then what happened?" veneer asked. Veneer was way more interested than Velvet was in why Branch got arrested.

"Another late night, another crazy mood, And I didn't think twice what it would do to me. I was a wild troll at one of my friend's parties; he threw it because he wanted to welcome my brothers into the troll village, and I drank too much, and It was a matter of time before I blew it." Branch reply

"Let me guess, your step wasn't NSYNC? when the cops pulled you over please that's worse than what we did." velvet said

"You literally almost killed my big brother!" branch snapped at Velvet. "Cry me a river, old man." velvet said, rolling her eyes at him

"Anyways, moving on, when the cops pulled me over and started asking me questions, I thou shall not lie, and I also Thou shall not get caught, so they made me do those line steps." the branch said

"again, old man, they were out of sync rather than NSYNC, and there you are ending up just like us, stuck in jail," Velvet said

"Karma a bitch, little dude." veneer replied

"I should've known better. If I had a wish, I would've never messed around," Branch said

"When I heard the story of me getting arrested, I felt the knife twist," Branch said

"Well, hate to be you but Karma's a bitch, and she's with you right now," Velvet replied...

-----------------------------------

Life Lesson: Don't be like Justin Timberlake and drive drunk. It could hurt others and you, so please, if you do drink, get yourself an Uber or call your parents. It could really save someone's life... Don't drink and drive..... <3 ------------------------

I won't be opening requests due to time conflicts with my real life. I also have to tackle two jobs, and they do take time to write, but if you want to ask me any questions, feel free to private message me. I will respond to them :). Hope you all have a great day/night wherever you are <3

[kazuyumi1412]

So, I started up one of my writing sessions yesterday, and my mind couldn’t help but wander a bit. I figured that other writers (or any creatives for that matter) could benefit from a little advice, and a little reminder:

Save your older work.

Even if you’re new to your craft, or if you’ve been at it for years and years, don’t delete/get rid of your older work if you don’t have to.

When I started writing, I wrote anything and everything that came to mind. I let the ideas flow and put the pen to the page. But later on, when I looked back at it, I thought that it was bad. Cringy. Awful. And I deleted them entirely.

Sure, some of them were pretty dang bad. (Not every story’s going to be great.) But let me tell you, for some of those stories, I massively regret deleting them. Even if they were bad, cringy, and awful, they were still stories that I had written. Stories that had good concepts at their core, or neat ideas sprinkled throughout the tales.

I wish that I kept those stories, no matter how bad I thought they were at the time. Maybe those ideas just needed more polishing to really allow them to shine. Or maybe they could’ve been put to better use in a different story.

You might think that your old work is bad, and you might want to get rid of it entirely, but don’t. Look at your old work, and if there are things that you want to keep, or things that you want to change, take note of them. Maybe your ideas were better suited for something else, or maybe the concepts could be better executed with your current skill level.

We cringe at our old work because we may think it’s badly done. Maybe it was. But you may also be viewing it from a standpoint where you’re more skilled in your craft than you were when you first created your work. You can more easily see the flaws and imperfections that you couldn’t see before.

Look back at your old work and see how you’ve grown since then.

See what you did right. See what could’ve used some improvement.

Don’t throw out things entirely if you don’t have to. Even if you think they’re bad now, there could still be diamonds in the rough hiding in plain sight.

And give your past self some credit. They made an attempt. They did it the best way they knew how. And hey, you could learn a thing or two from them once in a while.

my tears ricochet

requested by @yesiamprocrastinating

We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too <- reminiscent of how sirius always tried to take regulus’ punishments for him but they ended uo both getting hurt most of tje time Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe All the hell you gave me? <- regulus knows hed been shitty to sirius but did he really deserve to be erased from his life? To be replaced? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you 'Til my dying day <- to regulus, sirius will always be his big brother

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace <- he couldnt face telling everyine what he was going to do, a coward till tje end And you're the hero flying around, saving face <- sirius was always tje heroic one kot him And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? Cursing my name, wishing I stayed <- regulus always thought sirius hated him, but jere he is at his makeshift grave crying and swearing and begging him to come back Look at how my tears ricochet

We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring You know I didn't want to have to haunt you But what a ghostly scene <- regulus never wanted to hurt sirius, it was just something tjat happened, somethung he could never aeem to fix You wear the same jewels that I gave you As you bury me <- sirius still wears regulus’ signet ring all these years later

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave <- sirius used to tell him he was brave when he cried, telling him he was proud even though he couldnt stand up to their parente And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake? <- but if sirius got tired of regulus and trying to protect him Cursing my name, wishing I stayed <- why does sirius blame himself for regulus’ death Look at how my tears ricochet

And I can go anywhere I want Anywhere I want, just not home <- because sirius is home, but he cant go to him, not anymkre And you can aim for my heart, go for blood But you would still miss me in your bones <- no matter hiw much sirius insists james is his brother, he will always nurse a small part of his heart that hold baby regulus And I still talk to you (when I'm screaming at the sky) <- his last words were ‘sirius’ as he strained to the surface of the water And when you can't sleep at night (you hear my stolen lullabies) <- when its quiet sirius can sometimes hear regulus playing tje piano in tje distance

I didn't have it in myself to go with grace And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves <- he didnt tell anyone of what he was doing, but he hopes he made a difference all the same You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same <- sirius had to bury regulus in his mind and it smothered a part of him he didnt realise he had Cursing my name, wishing I stayed You turned into your worst fears <- and now reggie is gone and sirius is angry and vengeful and all the things he swore je wouldnt be And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain <- he blames his parents he blames voldemort he blanes Kreacher he blames regulus he blames himself Crossing out the good years <- he forgets all tje laughter they had as children And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed Look at how my tears ricochet <- and regulus is gone, but his pain is simply past along, to tje next of kin

[mine-fujiko]

About Lupin III, I grew up watching part 1 and still to this day it remains my favourite installation of the franchise, with only Lupin Zero as a very close second if not even on the same level. I just adore Yasuo Otsuka’s style for the characters design and to me that’s the way they look best (redhead Fujiko, cute tall and lanky Lupin and Jigen and Zenigata, first time we see Goemon he looks like an Utamaro’s painting!) and the animation is pretty good for a 1971 tv series. I love the “more violent” episodes by Osumi but also the more comedic later ones by Miyazaki/Takahata.

The series as a whole is incredibly original, it doesn’t follow the usual tropes but instead it gives us a terrific interaction between the main characters. It also doesn’t claim to do any big explanations but just presents the viewers with characters and situations that are just there to be interpreted as the viewers wish. Very interesting to see as both characters and situations develop in the course of the 23 episodes. I’m going to focus only on Lupin, Jigen and Fujiko because there are some episodes that are just “Lupin and Jigen vs Fujiko” that are absolute comedy jewels 😁

On to the characters.

Lupin: is an arrogant, egocentric, over confident arse. He’s convinced that Fujiko is his girlfriend but he is the only one who thinks that! He is very attached to Jigen. He also kills cops. In later eps he starts to see Fujiko as a rival, stops molesting her(!) and by the end of the series they’re more like friends/colleagues.

Jigen: is very loyal and very reliable, off the scale cool guy who saves Lupin’s life like every 5 minutes, he’s sarcastic, cynical but also fun loving and a bit mischievous too. Doesn’t trust Fujiko and he is right because (see below). In later eps he too starts to see Fujiko as a friend/colleague. Still doesn’t trust her, though!

Fujiko: is a wild psychopath. Literally trumps on everyone’s dead body to get what she wants. Nobody’s girlfriend but totally Lupin’s antagonist. Doesn’t give AF and does whatever is best for her. Backstabbing made perfect. In later eps she loses a lot of her sexy man-eater traits but that’s the Miyazaki effect.

I also want to add what really makes the series and thanks god the whole franchise for me, which is the great amount of humour (all characters can turn from extremely cool to goofballs in a sec) and the ability to mix drama, comedy, mystery, mad gags, etc.

As someone who loves the original manga I maintain that the series that did the best job about basically *anything* was part 1.

For reference, the “Lupin and Jigen vs Fujiko” episodes are:

… basically all of them? LOL! No, for real episode 6, 10, 12, 16, 17, 21 because Rie is mini-Fujiko!

To quote one resume it usually goes like this:

“Fujiko goads Lupin into stealing a large shipment of diamonds. Lupin takes the task despite Jigen's protest that Fujiko is playing them for fools. Of course, Jigen is right.”

Crushes Don't Get Easier (James Diamond x Reader) Chapter 4

Summary: BTR is a big hit, everyone loves them, but when they come back to the Palm Woods after their latest tour, they are greeted by a new girl band who actually signed with Gustavo while they were gone. (Name) is their leader who has great style, beautiful and is excellent at singing and dancing. The boys don't get along with them at first but then they realize they can be allies instead of enemies. James gets closer to her slowly even if he is still hung up on Lucy who left him without saying a word. Will there be more to (Name) and James, or is it just a fleeting fantasy and nothing will come of it?

Warnings: fluff, goofiness, angst later on

“Fake dating is the best.” (Name) sighed contentedly as she leaned back on the bench beside James. The brunette put his arm around her shoulders while smiling at the passerby. All of Palm Woods was talking about their new, budding romance. It was only time before the tabloids would follow in tow.

Both of them enjoyed being left alone while having fun on their fake dates. Their latest date was so much fun James wished he would’ve brought each of his dates to a carnival before. (Name) wasn’t sure about it at first but he challenged her in not being able to hit any of the targets in the shooting games. James felt like a kid again as he tickled (Name) and she fought right back when they couldn’t stop their argument. Not to mention it happened in the boys’ apartment in front of the boys.

If they were unsure about James’ honesty about moving on, they no longer questioned him. (Name) was nice to be around as well. The brunette thought he got a new friend who was a girl. The moments they shared were special as well. (Name) could make him laugh like none of the others could, not even Lucy. He looked at (Name) and a dangerous thought filled his mind. ‘Was I happy in my relationship with Lucy?’

(Name) whipped her head to him because she felt his gaze on her. Her eyes found his hazel ones. She never thought she’d have so much fun but somewhere deep down, fake dating James was everything she ever dreamed of when her younger self who was a big fan of his imagined meeting him. She would never admit that her heart was fluttering in her chest when she thought about their dates.

“What’s wrong?” she asked curious about his staring.

“I just realized what a genius I am!” James grinned. “We have fun and get everyone off our backs about dating at the same time.”

“Oh, wow, such humbleness Mr. Diamond!” she laughed, slapping his chest playfully. Then her expression turned calm and her lips rested in a soft smile. “Thank you.”

“For what?” James asked, confused.

“For all the good times. I haven’t had this much fun… ever.” she replied. Silence fell on them and James had no idea how to respond to that. If he went deeper in thought then he could fill in the gaps she was leaving out. Has she really never had fun on a date? Or with anyone?

What James could come up with was a truth.

“You don’t have to thank me for being your friend. We’re both cool and hot aaaaand successful, it was bound to happen.” he shrugged which made her laugh again. Then he toned down a bit and continued. “If I can be honest, I’m glad I got you as a friend now. I love the guys, they’re my brothers but sometimes they just cannot take me seriously when I might need it.”

“And I do?” (Name) blinked, cocking her head to the side.

“Yes, you don’t judge me for freaking out about a hair gel or for example when I had a mild argument with my mom about moving back to Minnesota again, you listened patiently. The guys are always jumping to come up with a plan and save the day but sometimes it’s okay to just lean back and think for a while.”

“Cuz I care about you and your mom is ridiculous.” she replied.

“I know.” James rolled his eyes.

“And you took after her.” she added which earned a light shove from him. “Okay, okay, that was mean but true.”

“What about your parents? What are they like?” James asked curiously.

(Name) tried to avoid the topic until now but it was inevitable that she’d need to explain a few things.

“We’re not exactly close.” she looked to the side watching the people walking in the park. “They were never supportive of my career choice. They wanted me to become a doctor or a lawyer or something more… grounded, you know? Especially my dad. He’s a lawyer and he only believes in everyday jobs which gives you more stability as he says.”

“You should invite them to show them how good you are.” James said, trying to cheer her up.

“I tried but they didn’t come to any of my performances.” she shrugged. “Well, it doesn’t really matter when I have a fake boyfriend who supports me!”

They both shared a mirthful laugh until Camille jumped out of a bush with Logan.

“Knew it!” they both yelled at the two of them.

“James never yelled ‘You will be mine!’ at you!” Logan pointed at (Name).

“And you never said no to him before James would try everything to get you!” Camille narrowed her eyes as she looked between the two of them.

“Okay, okay, before you go all nuts, let me explain!” (Name) stood up from her seat with her hands lifted in defeat. James and (Name) told them the whole story, explained how they ended up in a fake relationship and that they actually enjoyed their friendship.

“That’s understandable.” Logan nodded. “But how will you explain the fans and the paparazzi when you guys won’t be seen kissing?”

“We will just stage it?” James shrugged.

“You don’t have to do that for me.” (Name) shook her head. “I already took advantage of you.”

James furrowed his eyebrows. Something in his chest squeezed at the thought of losing the chance to have fun dates with (Name). They were just friends but he enjoyed their time together. If he was honest with himself, he had to admit that he never felt happy in his relationship with Lucy like this. They rarely went out just the two of them, they always hanged out with the others. And another part of him deep down wanted Lucy to see all the pictures of him and (Name) and realize what she left.

“I don’t think that Dylan Crazyhead would stop pestering you. It wouldn’t be safe for you. If he’s that obsessed with you, what’s he gonna do when you just simply tell him no? He didn’t take no before, I don’t think he will in the future either. That dude is crazy and I believe he’d do something stupid like get a knife and stab you.” James argued quickly.

“James is right, which is a surprise because he came up with a logical train of thought.” Logan noted. James slapped his friend in the back of his head then turned back to the girls.

“Even Logan says that it could be possible!”

“Alright, we’ll figure out something.” (Name) nodded. “But please don’t tell this to the others. The more people know the easier it would get to Dylan.”

“Our lips are sewed!” Camille grinned at her.

“You guys are just fake dating?!” Carlos exclaimed in apartment 2J. (Name) face palmed with a heavy sigh then turned to Logan and Camille who tried to act innocent but were failing so hard.

“Sssssshhhhhh!” James ran up to his friend and slapped his hand over the other boy’s mouth. “Yes and no one needs to know other than us.”

“If that Dylan guy is such a big problem we can help you get rid of him.” Kendall shrugged.

“How?” (Name) asked. “You haven’t seen his EYES! He’s completely CRAZY!”

“You say he’s crazy?” the blonde smirked mischievously. “I’ve got a plan.”

(Name) felt ridiculous dressed up in the goth outfit Camille gathered from somewhere. She was waiting for the guys to chase Dylan into her apartment with the girls. The chainsaw in her hands was ready to be used. It was way heavier than she thought it would be.

Suddenly the door banged open and Dylan ran inside screaming like a little girl. Kendall, James, Logan and Carlos were chasing him in various costumes and equipment. Dylan stopped in his tracks when he noticed (Name) and started smiling before he realized what she was holding.

“Finally! I can try out my new human stew recipe!” she grinned manically as she switched the chainsaw on. Dylan cried out in total fright and ran out of the apartment not even caring about how the guys simply let him run away.

“It was so cool!” Carlos cheered as he ran up to (Name) and high-fived her.

“Where did you get the chainsaw?” Logan asked, pointing at the tool.

“Buddha Bob lended it to me.” she shrugged then her eyes landed on James who was staring at her in a daze. “James? What’s wrong?”

“I-I… uh… I need to go!” the brunette suddenly exclaimed and ran out of the room. (Name) looked at the guys confused who looked back at her just as confused.

“We’ll go after him while you get the fake blood out of your clothes.” Kendall patted her shoulder.

The apartment became quiet again. (Name)’s chest felt strangely empty as she was still staring at the closed door confused. Did she do something for James to run away like that? Then she looked down at herself. She was wearing all black, a pair of black ripped jeans, shiny black high boots and a black t-shirt that said ‘You will die!’. She looked to the side and saw that her make-up was also similar to the style Lucy usually wore hers.

It somehow made her angry. Angry that she hurt James because he was still clearly not over the rockstar. Angry how her chest squeezed at that. Angry that it made her jealous.

“Argh!” she threw the chainsaw at her feet and stomped into the bathroom. As quickly as possible, she ripped some cotton out of the bag on the side and started aggressively wiping off the make-up. Once she was finished and could see her face again she went to her room and quickly got the clothes off changing into something her usual style.

In her light blue jeans, pink crop top and white lace cover up, (Name) went out to find James. Something in her made her want to make sure that James was alright. As she walked through Palm Woods she tried to remember if James said anything about having a special place. 2J was her first stop but no one was there. She walked through the lobby, searched by the pool and then went out to the park. She texted Kendall, Carlos and Logan but they responded with: ‘I haven’t found him yet either.’

(Name) sat down on a bench and thought. Last time they visited the carnival. The brunette enjoyed the various types of shooting games. They took a ride on the ferris wheel as well. Her eyes opened in realization and she took off toward the Palm Woods. She ran up the stairs to the rooftop and opened the door with a loud bang searching frantically for James. The pretty boy sat at the edge of the roof, jumping a bit at the sudden loud noise and turned to see (Name).

“Oh, I…” he started but was interrupted by (Name) who hugged him.

“I was worried when we couldn’t find you.” she breathed relieved. “Are you okay? You ran out so suddenly.”

“I… You just…”

“I looked like Lucy?” (Name) asked as she let him go and sat next to him. She grabbed his large hand in hers and smiled at him. “I will never be her and I would never want to replace her. We aren't even trying to become more than friends. She had a heavy and great impact on you, it is quite obvious. But I believe it is time for you to start to move on. You shouldn’t have to become so sad when something reminds you of her. It would be a healthier approach if you could look at these memories as a good part of your life which is closed.”

“It’s not easy… she was… the first girl I really loved. I liked my girlfriends I had back at Minnesota but she was different.” James replied as he looked out at the city below. The lights were pretty from this high.

“And she should always be special in your heart but you should let yourself heal because what I see is that you are not letting yourself heal.” (Name) said. James turned to her and watched how the lights played on her pretty face. His chest felt strange, a magnetic pull driving him closer and closer. Then she turned to him and hazel eyes met (e/c) ones. Her breath hitched in her throat, eyes flickered down to James’ lips.

Hellfire After Hours GOOD END | Billy Hargrove x Plus Size! Alt! Reader

Notes: I loved writing this and am actually really proud of it. I hope y'all enjoy it just as much!

Warnings: Sexual Inuendos

Words: 300-ish

It's been eight years since Billy was miraculously saved at Starcourt Mall. And while it took him months to recover, multiple surgeries, weekly tips to the hospital and more sleepless nights in the ER than you ever wanted to experience, it was all worth it. As soon as he had his spine reconstructed the two of you moves to his hometown Los Angeles, got jobs there and bought a house near Huntington beach. Billy worked as a mechanic in a local carshop while you ended up working behind the counter at a bakery in the inner city. You found a new D&D party to join while Billy eventually got back into surfing once his doctor gave him the go. After three years together in LA, Billy proposed to you at Huntingdon Beach. Of course you said yes, how could you not when he went out of his way to find an engagement ring with an onyx instead of a diamond? Your high-school friends were invited to the wedding, and so was Billy's step-sister Max. He tried his best to fix their relationship, and while she kept a respectful distance they called each other from time to time. Neil wasn't invited. Neither you nor Billy wanted to ever see him again, and your now-husband despised him so much that he went against all traditions and took your last name. A year later, against all odds, you got pregnant. After weeks of talking, Billy and you decided to keep the child. Your daughter, Joanne (L/N), would be the only child the two of you have. Your husband was so scared of becoming a father throughout most of your pregnancy. Not because he didn't want this child but because he was terrified of becoming like his dad. You promised him to, quote, "Beat the living daylight out of him and break his spine again." if he ever becomes anything like Neil. But he was a wonderful father, Joanne was a total daddies girl and came after him. From her hair, eyes, and nose down to her love for surfing she was a carbon copy of Billy. Including getting into trouble.

Your husband and your daughter hid in her closet, giggling while eating the fresh cookies you made an hour ago. Since you said they should wait until after dinner, this was against your wishes. "William (L/N!)", you yelled upstairs while looking for Billy. Eventually, you got into your daughters room but when you heard Billy shush her laughter you couldn't be mad anymore and left the room. How could you be mad when you heard your little girl laugh? "Well, if my Billy and my Jojo are already full with cookies, I guess I can order a pizza just for myself.", you said loudly while leaving her room. The two in the closet looked at each other, quickly finished the rest of the cookies and followed after you. "Mommy, wait!", Jojo said while running after you. "I'm sooo hungry!" She followed you into the kitchen, Billy being shortly behind her. You were standing at the kitchen counter, phone in hand as you waited for the two of them. "Mommy!", Jojo said as she ran up to you and hugged your hip. "You can't let me go hungry." Of course you wouldn't do that, but it was so much fun to tease the two. "Yeah, mommy, you can't let me go hungry either.", your husband said to you with a suggestive smirk on his face. You playfully slapped him in the shoulder while handing him the pizza delivery pamphlet with ordering options on it.

Billy brought Joanne to bed while you got comfortable in your shared bed. He recently gifted you a new book on D&D, something you still enjoyed even while being a mother, and were skipping through the pages while waiting for your husband. It took him a good 30 minutes before he came into your master bedroom and got into bed next to you. He took the book out of your hands and while leaning over to your nightstand to put it down started kissing your neck.

"I'm still hungry.", he whispered into your ear before lightly biting down on your neck.

PokéSpe Pearl needs some SERIOUS therapy after all he went through, and I'm gonna tell you why! (HEADCANONS GALORE, DON'T LIKE HEADCANONS, DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS!!!)

I think I might be coming down with something (it's winter here and I'm so hot and clammy I'm seriously about to change out of my long sleeves and sweatpants and switch them out with short sleeves and shorts, I'm not joking), buuuuut I'd been working on gathering photos from my DPPt manga volumes to use for this post since I'd had an idea to do this for a WHILE now, and I really wanna get it done, so my hyperfocus won over my health again (as if that doesn't happen all the time).

Anyway, here's the post!

(BE WARNED, THERE ARE HEADCANONS GALORE IN HERE!!! DON'T LIKE HEADCANONS??? DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS!!!)

So, I'm back with another PokéSpe post, this time about my boy Pearl and the reasons why I think he needs some SERIOUS therapy, I went through my volumes and gathered photos of some scenes that he had to endure/witness throughout his journey. So all aboard the Pearl trauma train as we explore why (in my opinion anyway) there's no way in heck that this boy is okay (and why I seriously love the fanfics that explore this concept and wish there were more of them).

First, a couple of general things/headcanons that make me think he needs therapy:

He's EXTREMELY ANXIOUS, he freaks out over the smallest things (especially in the earlier volumes), I headcanon he has GAD because of that, because I have GAD myself and it's like that for me too. Also don't forget my headcanon that he's neurodivergent (AuDHD) from that post I made last year! That wouldn't help things either.

He's EXTREMELY PARENTIFIED throughout the ENTIRE JOURNEY, which does not help the anxiety of this 12 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!

He doesn't really know how to handle his emotions (that's Dia's thing), so he lashes out a lot. He also doesn't like showing vulnerability (that's ALSO Dia's thing).

I will try to go in order of events as best I can. If I missed anything, please feel free to let me know what I missed. Here we go!

(Volume 2) Nearly being buried alive by Cyrus inside Mt. Coronet.

(Volume 3) Witnessing Paka and Uji be ripped from the world (look at his desperation to save them and shock when he's told there's nothing that he can do).

And then this reaction after they disappear is just...he's traumatized, look at him, that facial expression says it all, also the fact that he can't even stop shaking as he tries to process it, to the point where he needs to lean on Diamond so he doesn't collapse on the ground.

(It's a tiny bit similar to one of my traumatized Orange expressions actually, though I'm obviously not nearly as good at drawing facial expressions.)

Anyway...back to Pearl and the stuff he's been through!

(Volumes 5-6) Accidentally stepping on a moving conveyor belt in the Fuego Ironworks and because of it, facing the chance of being killed by the giant furnace (look at his face as he realizes his dire situation and says "If that fire is hot enough to melt iron, I'm as good as dead!", it says it all).

(Volume 7) BEING CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE EXPLOSION OF THE GALACTIC BOMB!!!! This is one I REFUSE to believe didn't traumatize him. He's lucky to have SURVIVED THAT!!!

The slump he went into for a bit after failing to protect Azelf...heartbreaking...

His panicked state upon waking up and not knowing where he is or where his Pokémon are...(also, I headcanon that he was dreaming about the bomb which would explain his panic upon waking up).

His relief upon seeing his Pokémon are okay, and then immediately remembering how they got injured because of him and feeling so guilty, that panel looking into his window as he just sits there thinking about everything that just happened is heartbreaking, you can tell he's GOING THROUGH IT mentally with his face completely shadowed and the rain pouring down outside. Luckily Wake is able to help him snap out of it so this slump doesn't last long.

(Volume 8) 12 year old children meet giant legendary deities of time and space, and are overwhelmed at just MEETING THEM...their expressions in the panel on the bottom right of the page show that very well.

(Volume 9) Dia tries to pull a heroic sacrifice in order to stop Cyrus...look at Pearl's reaction when he sees what his best friend is trying to do...honestly this scene makes THE SCENE even more heartbreaking...(don't worry we'll get to THAT soon)

(Volume 10) Seeing the bedridden Gym Leaders, especially Wake, is upsetting to both Diamond and Pearl, but Pearl is clearly worried about his mentor and it hurts to see.

Then he gets a music player containing his very own theme song that Wake made for him, which gets him all emotional, but he keeps it in, as always. (Which isn't healthy especially considering all the stuff this 12 YEAR OLD has endured up to this point...but we're still not done yet of course.)

(Volume 11) Here we go, it's time for THE SCENE. The one event that I headcanon to have traumatized Pearl the most, even more than being caught in the explosion of a LITERAL BOMB...and that event is Dia saving Pearl from Giratina's Shadow Force attack, but ending up taking it himself...

...much to Pearl's shock and horror.

Pearl starts shaking as he desperately tries to get Dia to wake up, but his best friend just lays lifeless on the ground, eyes wide open but completely soulless.

Pearl's expression here is heartbreaking, it's like he's finally realizing what happened, he just lost his best friend.

And now he's ready for revenge, and so are Dia's Pokémon...as they should be.

Just imagine being a CHILD fighting to save the literal UNIVERSE, and then having to say that you saw your BEST FRIEND die, right in front of you...and then said best friend's BODY DISAPPEARING INTO THIN AIR!!! Yeah...there's no way he ain't traumatized from all of that.

(Of course, Dia didn't die, but Pearl really thought he did, and that's just so messed up to think about...)

So anyway, there's my post about why (in my opinion) Pearl is traumatized and needs some SERIOUS therapy. If I missed anything feel free to let me know!

(I'm finally finished with this post, so now that I'm done with it I can FINALLY go to bed, especially since I think I'm coming down with something. It's 1:05 AM right now, I've been at this for hours, and I'm struggling to keep my eyes open... Ah yes, autistic hyperfocus, both a blessing and a curse at the same time 😅.)
