#BUT i have a valid reason to not like tall nico

[squeeblub]

i need to see something

[alpineshift]

random ask time!

pick five Devils players and assign them a summer Olympics sport to compete in. why did you choose that sport for them?

go!

oh I love this, it's making me think! personally I'm assigning them sports for entirely selfish reasons (aka events I want to see them compete in). it wouldn't necessarily be bc I think one of the boys has any super specific characteristic that makes them suitable for a particular sport 😂 also nobody gets golf bc fuck golf LOL

Jonas Siegenthaler - surfing. IDK - I think Siegs has the vibes. I think he'd do well in the water. He's such a balanced and steady kind of guy. I think he's one of those dudes that look effortlessly cool with a wetsuit tied around his waist and a board tucked under the arm. I want him to do the Gabriel Medina #1 pose flying out of the water like a rock star.

Nico Hischier - rugby. On the Paris Olympics site it says ruby sevens and IDK what the difference is, but whatever. I assume Nico is decent in field sports bc he used to play soccer. I think some of his on-ice playmaking skills would be useful in this scenario. This has nothing to do with the fact that rugby players have monster thighs I swear. I also want to see him go full beast mode and drag all the guys trying to tackle him as he makes a break for the try line.

Jack Hughes - tennis. I'm imagining him competing in men's singles, but I think he could also play doubles with one of his brothers or something. Jack's quick, strategic, got stamina, has good eye-hand coordination. I also think he could thrive pretty well in a solo sport, he's got that 'dialled in' mode down to a science. Not known for super powerful serves but gets internet love/hate for really sneaky saves and tricky shots that are hard to receive.

Luke Hughes - fencing. Specifically the épée category, which is the only discipline where the whole body is a valid target. Since Luke is a defensemen, it'd be interesting to put him in the one event where he has to do the most to defend! He's a tall boy so I think having a reach advantage would be great. I also didn't know this but the épée sword is the heaviest of the three. I also just want to give Luke a sword.

Nate Bastian - mountain biking. So it's not olympics related but I saw that clip of the American biker Aaron Gwin snapping his bike's chain literally a second after he left the gate but went full 'fuck it we ball' mode and won anyway. I'm assigning this vibe to Nater. I think Nate is someone who's a little rough-and-tumble and not afraid to get out there and get dirty! Speedy downhill racing! Out in the wilderness! Thriving in the noise of the spectators and cowbells and cheers!

That's my five - thanks for the fun ask! (You gotta tell me your top five picks and their assigned sports now too LOL)

Dark Souls 1 faces references Part 9: Patches, Siegmeyer, Sieglinde, Mildred, Crestfallen Knight, Crestfallen Merchant

Patches

According to Rayan, his hair data is black, and I can honestly believe it seeing how on Demon Souls we did see him with black facial hair (cursed), and in Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring his hair data is also dark! You can sort of tell from what body hair looks like too but personally I write this off as NPC models limitation and ignore it. This man never grew a single body hairling in his entire life.

His eye color appears to be inconsistent; dark green in DS1, greyish green in DS3 and just bright grey in Elden Ring. I suppose this is the spectrum, just as long as it isn't blue or brown?

Siegmeyer

Looks just as goofy as he is supposed to! I like how they did put effort in making him 'smile'!

Sieglinde

I previously assumed that she and her dad would share an eye color, but turns out her brown is also different! It is more amber eyes than it is brown eyes, to think of it...

Mildred

From the 3/4 view, you can see how strong her skulls are supposed to be! I like when characters are still distinct despite creator's limitations like that. And.. yeah, yet ANOTHER person you thought had blue eyes but it is that same shade of greyish-green!

Crestfallen Knight

Crestfallen Merchant

The guy in a nook in outer Sen's Fortress if you've missed him. (I didn't >:3 ) Also the one who is made to artificially look taller than player by his model moved slightly up in invisible collision above the floor level. I suppose I see the intent here and he is supposed to be tall.

____________________________________

So yeah, thanks everyone for dealing with dashboard being bombarded with these checking all of these! This is all of them! I am very happy with them and to learn the truth about eye colors and some extra stuff as someone who wants my fanarts to be accurate!

A little shame that there are no screenshots of exact sliders so characters could be easily recreated in the game to play as, but I say this is still a VERY good start! I remind you that it's been over a DECADE and this is still the very first instance of actually getting proper look at the faces @_@ Maybe some time later? I am also very surprised that nobody still was curious about weird glitch with Grana's model where two models belong to the same NPC.. but who knows, maybe from this point on, someone could finally shed a light on how exactly Fromsoft managed to do THIS?

Again, you need to remember that Dark Souls 1 creator didn't have much room for things like scars, freckles and such compared to later creators, so there are valid things to add as headcanon! However, for some reason, 'male' models have a mole on their left sholder and 'female' models have a mole on their neck by default?

Your 6’8 would not fit in the average door in the US (6’6-6’8) that’s so tall omg. He’s as tall as LeBron James. Do you see him as like.. large in stature?? Or is he a twig giant?? How tall do you have Nico as?? I can’t find your post, just the ask someone sent you that said you like him at 6’8 and I have so many questions.

I think of Will as something with a build pretty similar to Armie Hammer just tall

My headcanons for Will's height fluctuates a good bit but I cannot see him as less that 6" at the very least (I think 6"5 is where my thoughts normally go) but generally I think of fully grown Will anywhere from 6"3 to 6"8 on a general basis because I'm crazy

I have a meme (it's awful but it's mine) where I joked about how I think Will looks

Also, if you think my Will height headcanons are crazy I picture Nico around 5"5 or 5"6 (I will accept 5"7 but I'm not going to be personally happy about it- it's valid if someone else like tall Nico, I just disagree with anything over 5"6)

(I couldn't find any gay couples with this height difference so bear with me- there's a reason for this because of how humans determine ideal height for reproduction but it's 1am and that's a lot of biology to talk about right now but most relationships-hetero or otherwise- usually have a 2 inch height difference "ideally")

^^ that's the height difference between 5"5 (Miley) and 6"3 (Liam)

^^ this is the height difference between 5"5 and 6"5 (12 inches) and idk their names sorry

^^ This is a slightly larger height difference than 5"5 and 6"8 would be, but Kim is probably wearing about a 2 inch heel so I think there's a fair argument that this comparison is only an inch off from Will and Nico if Nico if 5"5 and Will is 6"8

(Nico is probably 120-150 lbs and Will is probably 190-230 lbs since that would generally be in the healthy range for those heights- irrelevant information but it might be nice)

I just think of Will as a gangly slightly unstable giraffe and find the idea of his head brushing the ceiling comical. Also down South ceiling heights are generally higher (due to house type) so it wouldn't be much of a worry about him hitting his head unless it was a doorway...

The shortest guy on the right on this photo is 6"3 with the tallest guy in the middle being 7" so in my mind Will is in this general height range (and yeah the girl in the front is probably about 5"5-5"7) (source)

It's also important to note that the average guy in my family (personally) is somewhere between 5"11 and 6"3 so this has probably shaped my perception some as well of what might be typical and what is fair enough for a decent height

I don't think that Will has any sort of medical condition that makes him tall or anything, I just think Will is probably tall genetically (I can't decide if Naomi is 5"5 or like 5"10 but I keep going back and forth)... I just think Will comes from a generally tall family and I also like the implication of Will being "closer to the sun"

And I'm crazy and most men in my family are very tall are also fair arguments as to why I think this way... So yes, that's a whole thing

(As a final note, here, is the link to the post where I got an ask about what I thought about Will's height because I put something in a tag on another post somwhere)

This is information I think about and you all have to deal with the knowledge of it now

[dilfbatman]

Hello there! I'm the anon with the Percy being Patrochilles' love child ask. Can I ask for some headcanons of modern!patrochilles adopting Percy?

OMG HELLO MODERN!PATROCHILLES PERCY LOVE CHILD ANON who simply put that thought into my brain and is also legendary....... lemme whip something up for you :’) so in this au i’ll do it as modern!patrochilles legit adopt percy as their lovechild bc this is an au and i can do what i want LMFAO (it feels so weird not having sally in here but i will add her somehow regardless bc she’s the QUEEN) hope you enjoy friend!!!

—

- patroclus & achilles see percy and see his wide bright sea-green eyes looking up at them and they mirror achilles’ spearmint green eyes and reminds achilles of patroclus’ skops nickname, and percy’s hair is dark like patroclus’ and is tan like him too and he has a giggle that is like a melody and both of them think. okay he is ours and then they get told that his name is “perseus” aka the only demigod that lived a long & safe life and they have a sense of relief and think. wow he really is ours

- on the ride home percy is a little quiet but he has a sense of happiness and can’t really put it into words, and patroclus holds percy’s tiny little hand and tells him that they’re all gonna be a family and tells him how lucky he & achilles feel that they have a beautiful joy in their life and perseus smiles and achilles is driving and trying not to cry bc he can see how beautiful a son perseus is going to be and how beautiful a dad patroclus already is

- now. patroclus would be the kind, soft, warm, empathetic, semi-strict parent who always gives the best advice, wants there to be a two way street of trust, honesty, and respect and he is such a soft dad and achilles would be the fun, wild card, dorky dad who protects his child with a fervor and relates to perseus & is very loving just like patroclus and is Iike the best friend dad, and the entire time they’re both so loving to percy & sometimes patroclus is rolling his eyes playfully and is like “i’m raising TWO kids” after perseus & achilles have blue paint on themselves after making an art project for patroclus that he looks at & admires and tears up at while putting it on the wall :’)

- percy calls them lily & pat sometimes and they call him perse, perseus, and cici <3

- they all like to celebrate the holidays and they give each other valentine’s day cards and patrochilles put a stuffed animal, his favorite candy, and some lil extra presents on percy’s bed after he comes from school. on halloween they dress percy up like a lil guppy and pat has his pumpkin costume and achilles w his greek god costume & they all go trick or treating and both percy & achilles ask for candy while pat is just chastising achilles and telling him “you better share w perseus” hehe and on christmas it’s filled w love, laughter, cheer, & tons of presents on all sides :’) percy gives them homemade drawings and the sweetest cards and patrochilles give him a photo framed of all three of them + their golden retriever puppy chiron, a polaroid, and a certificate saying that they adopted a baby seal in perseus’ name <3

- they keep every little card that they give each other and they have scrapbooks and albums and they want to carry these memories forever :’) and omg when it’s percy’s bday it is simply WILD! fast forward a couple years later it’s so much fun and they eat cake and have a great summer picnic outside w all of percy’s friends and yes everyone is checking achilles & patroclus out bc they’re valid and they all have such a grand ol’ time :’) annabeth, jason, frank, hazel, and will talk to patroclus a lot and piper, leo, nico, reyna, and thalia talk to achilles a lot and they all intermingle and percy is just so happy that everyone is getting along and they all tell him that his dads are the coolest and so kind and funny and he feels a rush of pride

- also patrochilles are DILFs. no i will not elaborate and i will not allow someone to disagree with me. they’re DILFs and it’s time to accept it and honor it (achilles a proud DILF, patroclus rolling his eyes while blushing when he gets called that)

- fast forward to many years later and perseus has went through his awkward pre-teen years in which he talked to patroclus all about it bc he could relate and achilles was there to provide moral support bc even if he didn’t go through it he wants his son to know that everything he felt was valid and completely normal! now that percy has grown into his own he still knows that he can talk to them about his feelings but he also has a feeling of confidence in him

- i also think that every demigod has adhd so achilles can relate to perseus on that and patroclus helps perseus w his dyslexia and will stay up into the late hours of the night helping him with homework while achilles cuts up some fruit & figs for them to eat and he gives them both kisses and moral support and many needed breaks & snacks

- also fun fact a book percy has to read is by the infamous sally jackson who is literally patroclus’ favorite writer of ALL time and he’s so hype and he has written sally multiple times and is in correspondence with her and one time he was like “you should come by” and sally says “ofc!” and she ends up doing just that, she comes by their apartment and pat is Shook and mixing up his words and all that can come out is “i Love book” and achilles has to translate everything he says and perseus tells her how much he admires her writing and how the hell did she come up w the idea of gods & demigods and how did she have prose so beautiful while speaking of them? and sally just winks and percy smiles and feels like he understands :’) towards the end sally leaves and made sure to sign all of pat’s books and gives them a bust of poseidon who is her favorite god & he nearly passes out and she gives perseus a trident necklace that he will wear forever bc he knows it means something to her and for some reason, it means something to him too

- and LISTEN! perseus has grown into his own and is absolutely beautiful! he has bright green eyes and a lil eyebrow slit that he accidentally got while playing in the park in which patrochilles were so afraid but kept it together after patroclus patched him up, he is tan & tall w jet black hair with a deep & melodic voice, and he has the empathy, kindness, leadership, strength, wisdom, and badassery that was innate/instilled in him by his wonderful parents. patroclus the entire time is like damn those demigod genes!!!! making my baby boy look like a model just like his father smh what about me!!!! and achilles is like babe you’re gorgeous and perseus is like yeah dad you’re great

- and achilles and patroclus do a double take bc the entire time leading up to this percy never really called them dad he just called them nicknames or petnames and all of sudden the dam breaks and everyone is crying and hugging and achilles and patroclus both give percy the biggest kiss on either side of his cheek and percy’s face is being Squished but he doesn’t mind bc he can feel their love :’)

- and lemme tell y’all something achilles had a feeling his baby boy was a demigod after seeing all those monsters and creatures and patroclus could always see through the mist and growing up they wanted him to have a normal life, but achilles wanted percy to be able to protect himself so he taught percy how to fight & patroclus taught him stuff that he learned from medical school and how to patch himself/others up & percy is very well versed in all aspects and is very grateful for this

- percy is a troublemaker and sarcastic little shit who loves to curse and he really gets that from achilles & he is also sensitive, warm, empathetic and in touch with his emotions and he gets that from patroclus and he is the true lovechild of both of those dorks

- basically listen i could talk about them for hours and i can make so many of these but i know how long imma end up making this so lemme just say this: i love modern!patrochilles they’d be the best dads and i love perseus and they’re just a big happy family bc they DESERVE it <3 and maybe YOU know something that they don’t about sally ;) i didn’t know how i’d go about writing this but i hope you liked it! lemme know! <3 and so sorry this is all over the place hehe i know it’s scattered and long but i hope you like it! :’)

Happy Holidays Everyone!

Here’s my yearly Christmas fic if your interested! I love all the art you’ve been posting! Repost with links to your art and fics! Let’s make a thread!

Gathered for Greetings

 I’m going to end up writing a Christmas fic every year, aren’t I? That’s okay. I just hope that next year I’m no literally writing it on Christmas day! Curse you, procrastination!

-~-

When they’d received the invites in the mail, they’d been skeptical.

Togetherness wasn’t something that none of them were used to, but it was something that they were willing to play at, if only because of the simply apocalyptic year that they’d all had thus far. Due to obvious circumstances, the majority of them had little to no experience with planning holiday events, let alone even attending them, but that wasn’t going to stop them from trying. In a strange turn of events, Nero and Kyrie were probably the most well acquainted with how holiday parties worked due to the addition of the orphans a short while back, but even then they had never thrown a party. After all, there weren’t exactly a lot of people they could invite, and they didn’t have a very spacious living area. Try as they might, there was only so much that they could do, especially on their limited finances. 

But there was one unexpected additional point of intrigue that made this particular holiday get together a bit more interesting than it already seemed to be at first glance, and that was the setting that it was set to take place in. That, and who’s idea it was in the first place. Towards the start of the holiday season, V had approached Nero with a very much out of character proposition:

“... I think we should do something this year… at my house.”

Nero remembered looking at him as though he had grown a second head. Had V lost his mind? From what he knew about his generally socially challenged sibling, this particular request seemed like something he’d come up with after a particularly traumatic head injury or as the result of a late-night cheese binge. Was he caught in the middle of some kind of irreverent fever dream?

“Why do you wanna do that? I thought you hated parties.”

V had looked away from him, obviously uncomfortable with the reality that he was now going to have to explain what he was thinking. He’d figured that he’d more than likely have to do that, but that reality did little the quince the feeling of unease that he felt in the pit of his stomach. Voluntary honesty was difficult, especially when it forced him to speak on matters that he could frankly do without digging out of the lower recesses of his mind. He’d prefer to keep his problems buried deep, and this certainly counted as a problem, but he’d brought this up, so he was going to follow through.

“You’re correct, I do… but this is the first time I’ve ever had a family to actually commemorate the occasion with, and as such, the first time I…” he paused for a second, looking down at the floor with an earnest look of sadness.” I’ve never actually celebrated Christmas. Ever. Even as a child. I was hoping to change that.”

So naturally, not being a heartless psychopath, Nero couldn’t turn down such a heartfelt plea, especially from such a close member of his family. It was rare for V to ask for anything, and after the frankly hellish few months they’d had since his resurrection, he couldn’t think of a logical reason to dismiss his idea. He’d had an opportunity once or twice to do something for the holidays once he’d met Kyrie’s wonderful family as a younger child, but the idea of literally never doing anything for it at all… It actually hurt his heart a little to imagine that. Aside from cultural or even religious reasons, how on earth did that even happen?!

That was a question for another day. If his older sibling wanted to have his house destroyed by their extended family, then he was happy to help him in that regard. So in the last days leading up to Christmas, Nero, Kyrie, and Nico had brought the children over and they had spent several long hours decorating, wrapping gifts, and generally trying to keep V from having a protracted anxiety attack from the prospect of having everyone they knew at his house. Planning it was one thing, but actually doing it was another thing entirely, and he’d never been the best at long periods of social interaction. It drained his social battery to even think about it.

“Do you think they’re actually going to come over? Hell, do they even like Christmas? They barely like each other!” Nero shouted down to V over his shoulder as he shrugged and secured the last of the lights over a doorway. He was dead tired of climbing this ladder, and he hoped that the architects that built the place and decided that it needed close to fifteen-foot ceilings were burning in hell right now. But if he ever saw V climb a ladder again, he was going to have an anxiety attack.” I can’t see our old man even being the festive type. Maybe Dante but…”

He shrugged, fussing over the bottom of the gigantic Christmas tree that Lady and Trish had brought over early that morning. Where they had managed to find a real twelve-foot tall tree on Christmas day was anyone’s guess. It was probably Morrison’s handiwork, considering the fact that he’d helped them bring it over in the first place. That man could find ice in hell. Lady and Morrison were in the kitchen with Kyrie and Magnolia. They were helping taste things while the two of them finished up the last of the cooking. V had helped them cook a short while before deciding to turn his attention to the entirely bare tree. Three people in one kitchen was a bit of a crowd, but considering the fact that this had once been Magnolia’s family home, not inviting her would have been extraordinarily unkind. In an ironic twist, he’d managed to find ornaments but nothing to actually put them on. How fortunate that they’d arrived when they did.

Nico and Trish were on either side of the tree, attempting to help him get the last few ornaments on and clean up the bristles that had fallen on the tree skirt. As it turned out, V was actually horribly allergic to pine needles. They made him break out in an extremely itchy rash, a fact that he’d gone his entire life without knowing due to the fact that he’d literally never gone near a pine tree. It made the process of hanging ornaments slow and slightly nervewracking, to say the least. He imagined that this was what it would feel like to try and decorate poison oak.

“I’d imagine that they have mixed feelings about this time of year, to say the least. It more than likely brings up unfortunate memories.” He stepped away from the tree and allowed himself to slump over on the couch. All this standing didn’t agree with him.” Admittedly, I was pleasantly surprised when Dante agreed to come over. Even more so when he called back only a short while later to inform me that Vergil would be following suit. I suspect there was violence involved in that negotiation.”

Trish scoffed slightly, trying and failing not to laugh.” Oh, I’m sure there was. I don’t think either of them like parties. It’s one of the few things they agree on!”

With a relieved sigh, Nero climbed down from the ladder, thoroughly done with hanging things.” Sorry, but those are gonna have to stay up until next year. No way I’m going back up there.”

V nodded, equally tired and ready to get started with the festivities..” Agreed. It is quite a hassle. Thank you all for tolerating my request. It seems that none of us particularly enjoy large gatherings or decorating for that matter. I’m flattered that you would do so for my sake at your own expense.”

Everyone present waived him off nonchalantly. None of them minded on this one occasion. It was a welcome moment of normality in their entirely supernatural lives, and they couldn’t say that those happened very often.

“Yea, well as long as this goes better than that damn beach trip, I think we’ll all be just fine.” Nico said as she walked towards the kitchen with a bag full of pine needles.” Now don’t touch that godforsaken tree again or I’ll skin you all alive. I’m tired of cleaning!”

An awkward silence washed over the room as they thought about that trip. It had been a stressful year, hadn’t it? Between that and Belial… “yea, well if you aim low, you can’t be disappointed, can ya? That’s how I talk myself out of bed every day.!”

They all turned in the direction of the doorway, surprised to see who had spoken. Standing before them were Dante and Vergil, the two of them seemingly taking in the surprisingly festive atmosphere. It had been Lady’s idea to play Christmas music. She’d even brought over wine for the occasion. She was perhaps the most excited person there besides Magnolia and the children who were playing in the next room over with Lucia. Getting the redheaded guardian there in time had been nothing short of a logistical nightmare, but they had pulled it off nonetheless. Even Matier had managed to come over for the occasion, no doubt surprised to be invited in the first place. There were still a few stragglers who would be coming later on such as Patty, but the number of people who had agreed to come in the first place was enough for V.

Much to their collective surprise and disbelief, V actually laughed at that statement. It was a sentiment that he honestly had to agree with. It was rare that V actually agreed with Dante on something so wholeheartedly, but this was one of those occasions.” You make a valid point, Dante. I suppose I’m just glad you both came.”

Dante and Vergil almost seemed flattered by the statement, unsure of what to really say. It had taken quite a bit for them to talk themselves into coming over, but seeing everyone there wasn’t something they expected and as such, they were a little unsure of where to start. But they were willing to try, and that was what counted, wasn’t it?

Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad after all…

Looking notably uncomfortable, Vergil glanced in the direction of the tree. It had been a long time since he’d seen one of those… It brought back vague but vibrant memories he thought he’d lost to the void of despair that was his life a lifetime ago. Perhaps actually attempting to make a few new ones wasn’t such an awful idea after all.

“... Thank you for inviting us.”

With that statement, the entire room fell strangely silent again, everyone collectively surprised to hear Vergil say something so… agreeable. It was a nice change of pace. One could only assume that he was genuinely pleased to be included in something like this, but it was hard to tell. They had no point of reference. But if the barely concealed look of surprised pleasure on Dante’s face was anything to go off of, they had done something right.

It was Nero’s turn to break the silence. He was admittedly starting to get hungry, and he was sure the children were probably driving Lucia insane in the next room. It was actually time to celebrate.” Anytime. Now let’s go eat. Kyrie and V were cooking and magnolia brought over desert again.”

Dante practically teleported into the kitchen.” Well, hell you shoulda started there! Speak up next time!”

Vergil shook his head and followed after him at a much slower pace. He was in much less of a hurry to get to the kitchen. He hadn’t really come there for the food.” At least he’s eating something besides pizza.”

Nero and V nodded in agreement. The holidays were supposed to be about the little things. It was about time they went and enjoyed them. After all, it wasn’t every day that they all got to spend time together without it being a life or death situation. They were going to savor that. Well, that and the food. The food was probably going to be amazing.

Thanks for reading this little holiday fic that I threw together! You’ll all see how this ties into the main story once we get there in Hirathe. I thought you might like this. Happy Holidays everyone! See you on New Years! I hope next year is a little better!

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

About your YouTuber! Percy hc, do you think he would actually know everyone subscribed to him because of the weird background shenanigans or do you think that he’s think they all just find him funny?

okay, I actually have made some more Executive Decisions since I posted that, so let’s just make it clear that:

Percy spent maybe half a day thinking ‘wow I knew I was valid in thinking my girlfriend and sister deserve to be famous’ just because he genuinely hadn’t registered the monster-sized dog or nico crawling out from the shadows behind him as ‘weird’ at first, but then he started reading the comments and was like…..ah,

Annabeth wanted him to immediately delete the videos but he was just like ‘nah it’s too late now we might as well commit’ and started planning his next video lmao. he still didn’t think it was gonna get like, Big tho

demigods and technology don’t mix this is true but by this time the Hephaestus and Athena AND Vulcan kids were all very disgruntled by this and collabed on making a line of products that are monster proof, halfblood suitable, and Hephaestus approved. Percy is using a camera in this line, and that’s why mortals watching his videos aren’t getting blocked by the mist, because….shut up, I said so lol

so again, his videos are mostly tame except for just a few small ‘wtf’ things happening in the background, but it’s enough to get people circulating his videos like ‘hey what the fuck is going on with this guy’ and he gets more and more followers impatiently waiting for updates

after about five months, and article gets posted on buzzfeed about the videos, listing a few theories like, a) it’s photoshopped and cgi-d, although they claim they sent a few clips to video analysists that can’t find any thing fake, and b) this boy is being terrorized by ghosts and demons and he just hasn’t noticed them on camera for some fucking reason, and c) Maybe Us, The Viewers Are The Crazy Ones and d) He’s In Danger And Sending Coded Messages And We Need To Rally Together To Help Him

it trends and his followers SPIKE so Percy decides he should probably do a Q&A and everyone gets hype

except

it’s Percy

He’s sitting on his bed in an orange shirt, but the writing on it is mostly obscured by a blanket. You can JUST see the tip of a spear on the wall above him.  There’s a large cut on the side of his head. He’s got a clear glass of some golden liquid he’s sipping from every now and then. There’s an aquarium on the table next to him, but all the fish in the tank are huddled in the same side, staring at him??? Annabeth is sitting next to him, but she’s not looking into the camera, she’s reading a book, and you can see the cover clearly on screen but no one is able to figure out what language it’s in??? at one point during the video, you hear a horse neighing even though he’s in his fourth floor city apartment and his stepfather comes in to tell him ‘blackjack’s in the kitchen make him leave’

but other than that, everyone tuned into this video excited to get answers….but all the answers Percy gives are like ‘Oh, Estelle is 10 months old! she’s getting so big!’ and ‘Annabeth and I met when we were 12′ and ‘I’m looking at colleges in California but I haven’t committed anywhere yet’ and ‘my favorite subject in school is math’

In the middle of the video he read a question ‘please what is up with that dude that keeps crawling out of your fucking walls p l e ase’ and he responds ‘Oh! That’s my cousin Nico! :)’ and then moves back to the tame boring questions sdkjnckdvm

The very last minute of the video, he reads a question asking if he’s possessed and he’s like ‘No, not anymore’ and Annabeth fucking snorts, the first acknowledgement she’s given the whole q&a. the video immediately just ends there, he doesn’t do a sign off or anything

people FLIP

and the next day he’s just back to posting his usual content. this time features a shot of him walking in a rainstorm, to hood no umbrella, completely fucking dry

youtube drama channels are covering every single video he posts. conspiracy theorists are going fucking wild.

one of these youtube conspiracy channels is 100% run by Leo Valdez. He’s having the time of his goddamn life throwing bullshit out there

Piper McLean 100% has her own channel dedicated to debunking everything Leo says on his channel. They’ve been doing this dance since 9th grade and all of their viewers think they fucking hate each other it’s hilarious to them

so SHE points out that not only are Leo’s theories stupid, but he’s been spotted in Percy’s videos! And he was on fire in one of them! Hello???

Someone then tweets her that SHE’S been spotted in Percy’s videos, a few of them the same ones Leo was in, and she responds to the callout with a Mariah Carey gif and goes silent on twitter for three months

Leo starts insisting that’s Definitely Not Him In Percy’s Videos, Thank You, How Dare You Accuse Me Associating With Not Only The Demonic Forces That Follow Him But Also Piper McLean

Percy tweets out a picture of the 7, featuring Leo and Piper hugging and looking like best friends. Leo responds with a Joanne the Scammer gif and also goes quiet on twitter but keeps making ridiculous conspiracy videos lmao

On screen: ‘Hey, Paul, the internet thinks I’m in league with supernatural forces. What do you think about that?’ *camera slowly zooms in on Paul’s tired face as he looks up from reading a book on the Greek god Poseidon*

everyone realizes one of Percy’s mortal friends from school is also a youtuber so they BOMBARD him and he’s just like ‘Listen Percy just….fucking lives like this. he’s not planning anything. He disappears all the time and comes back covered in burns. one time I went in his apartment without calling first and he met me in the living room with a shield and a sword. Sometimes carriage horses in the city get loose and just follow him around and he holds conversations with them. I think his dad is in the mob. He just lives like this. We just got used to it’ sjkdgkjldsklsd

Percy posts a video called ‘skateboarding down my camps climbing wall!!’ and every comment is ‘WHY IS THERE L A V A?!?!?!?!?’

A video where he sees just How Much he can annoy Chiron and Mr. D before he gets threatened with dolphin-ism. It doesn’t take long, but everyone ignores the guy with glowing eyes yelling about how he’s going to change him into a sea creature in favor of focusing in on the fucking leopard head mounted on the wall that’s moving, roaring and being fed snacks??? 

Rachel goes into Oracle mode and gives out a prophecy in the middle of a live stream and Percy just sighs in annoyance while all the viewers are flipping out like hello isn’t she one of the richest people in the world???

the viewers start trying to decipher the prophecy like they think it’s all planned and Percy’s just slowly dropping some lemony snickett bullshit on them

his videos are ALWAYS trending and he’s one of the most popular vloggers and it’s so funny because 90% of the videos are literally just ‘taking my sister to the park!’ ‘date night with my girlfriend!’ ‘swim team awards ceremony!’ ‘I forgot to study for my history exam!’ like just. the most fucking generic but people are sucked in lmao

He does monthly q&a’s but they mostly go the same way the original one did 

‘what’s with the fucking guy who’s half donkey???’ ‘Grover identifies as a goat, actually, please be respectful of that in the future’

‘who’s that fucking kid that crying on your couch that you ignored the whole video’ ‘that’s actually the Greek god Apollo, he was upset because I wanted back the Led Zeppelin shirt he stole from me’ 

‘am I crazy or was there a 7 foot tall guy with one eye walking around the kitchen eating peanut butter out of the jar’ ‘that’s my baby brother Tyson :)’

‘your friend said your dad’s in the mob but we’ve never seen your father on this channel where is he???’ ‘he, uh…….lives with the fishes?’ (Annabeth groaned at that one lmao)

‘you really vlogged getting struck by lightning and not going to the fucking hospital, huh’ ‘don’t worry, that was just my cousin, she was mad because I stole her nail polish earlier but she wouldn’t kill me over it’

COULD YOU IMAGINE HIM POSTING A VIDEO WITH THE PARTY PONIES AND TITLING IT ‘I ACCIDENTALLY GOT DRAGGED TO FURRY CON’

but overall: Youtuber Percy™ is, in fact, the only valid thing that exists thanks for coming to my TED Talk

@terencewoods​

This was it. After two months of procrastination, this was the big day. This was, arguably, one of the most important moments of Nico’s life-- right up there with the first time he carried his little sister and the first time he kissed a boy and the first time he got a positive review on a published story-- and his palms were the sweatiest things in the world. Dressed in what he imagined smart, successful older brothers were meant to wear (see: a long coat, a sweater vest, stylish jeans, and boots laced to perfection), he rocked back and forth on the balls of his feet, listing various options for what he wanted to say in his mind.

> Hi there, are you Terence? > Hey, little guy, is Terence Woods home? > Terence, it’s me! Your long lost big brother! > Guess who I am, eh? Hint: look at this devilishly handsome grin. > Please don’t close the door on me.

Of course, there was the ever prevalent reality that silence was a valid option, but having spoken at some length with Terence’s adopted father and making sure he wouldn’t be home when Nico came knocking at the door, he had a feeling a tall stranger standing at Terence’s front door would be some cause for alarm. He had to think of something before he rang the bell. He had to think of something brilliant, and witty, and funny and charming and perfect so his little brother would like him instantly, or else he would die.

And when he figured it out, Nico rang the bell.

He was going to be fine. Terence was going to be fine. This entire first meeting was going to be fine, and Nico was going to nail it; his coat was stylish and black and the collar of his button down was folded perfectly over the collar of his sweater, and he looked smart and professional instead of homeless and dangerous. There was no conceivable reason for Terence to be afraid of him, and everything was going to be...

Naturally, whatever thoughts he might have had screeched to a halting stop the moment the door opened. Instead, Nico found himself frozen solid as his eyes fell onto the little brother he never knew he had.

“I--” His throat tightened with emotion, blue eyes turbulent for all of a moment before he swallowed hard and tried to compose himself. “I... my name’s N... I’m Nicolas W... Woods, my name is Nicolas Woods, and I think, uh, you’re--

“Are you Terence? Terence Woods?”

(Perhaps silence was the most valid option, indeed.)

The Truth Within The Lies Part One

This is a collab with @toloveawarlord and comes as a crossover between two of Cybird's games, Love, Lies and a Heist and Midnight Cinderella. Please enjoy.

I had never imagined that I’d be stepping foot inside the walls of Wysteria’s castle, never mind as an invited and esteemed guest. I glanced upwards to admire the chandelier, and it was so beautiful it made me smile before I was formally announced after handing over the invitation. Several heads had snapped towards me, before resuming their previous tasks. It was a large gathering of women from what I could see, most of them trying to one-up each other for some reason. I had merely glanced over the invitation and saw it as an excuse to have fun.

Then Nico spun me around and took me off to a balcony.

I was ready to scold him when I saw the expression on his face. He was deeply worried about something, and it made me stutter.

“You didn’t fully read the invitation, did you?” He sighed.

“A ball and a reason to have fun without my brother possibly getting involved? Why would I stay away?” I queried, tilting my head to the side in confusion.

“This isn’t just for fun,” he hissed. It was a new expression on my longtime friend’s face, we had exchanged secrets when both of us had run from Wysterian guards who said they were looking for a suspicious foreigner. We had mutual leverage over each other, and also a mutual understanding of our situations.

“Nico?” A strange voice called him away before I could find any more.

I danced with anyone who asked, and found myself perfectly able to recall all of the taught moves when a particularly haughty looking gentleman with blond hair and blue eyes had tried to trick me by switching mid-foxtrot to a Charleston. He had expected me to flail, only to give me a glimmer of praise in his eyes as I adjusted without any faults. My brother had certainly been a stickler for this as I grew up in my teens.

Then lastly, a gentleman who had mostly been near Nico and the King all evening invited me for a dance. A waltz and he kept to the dance routine this time.

He didn’t let me have my hand back at the end of the music, and I saw Nico’s face freeze. The gentleman was tall and had a ponytail gracefully swept to gather at the side of his neck. He reeked of elegance and strictness, and there was a surprising force in his grasp as I wasn’t allowed to return to the side of the dance floor.

His announcement made me realise why Nico had tried to warn me. I was the new Princess Elect of Wysteria, and the approved choice it seemed of the personal advisor to the King, Giles Christophe.

I was shown to my new room, and then ‘introduced’ to Nico as my personal attendant.

“Everyone took a shine to you,” he opened once Giles had left, starting on his duties to make me some tea and also show me to my wardrobe. “You just rose above everyone else, and I knew you would, but I know why you left Laurelia,” he paused, lifting the teapot up from the tray as he went to pour the liquid into a precious cup. “You’re about to be thrown straight back into the spotlight, and I can’t imagine it won’t escape your brother’s notice.”

“Probably not,” I weakly agreed. “But I can’t give myself away either way now. Either I confess that I can’t be the Princess because I ran away from Laurelia, or I stay a chance of keeping out of my brother’s grasp by becoming Princess.”

“That’s a shame really,” Nico paused. “I always enjoyed the cakes you made at the bakery the best.”

“I’m sure I can sneak some time in for baking,” I giggled, completely unaware of what was going to hit me.

It turned out that the gentlemen who had switched dance routines with me, was Duke Louis Howard, and also he was meant to be one of my suitors for becoming Prince Elect. Not that either of us truly wanted that anyway. I would always look to one-up the man during our pointless dance lessons, whilst he was always trying to find fault with my work. Giles had started sitting in on the sessions due to our apparent childishness, and most of my scoldings came of it. There was little to teach me in the manner of foreign affairs, Leo was normally discussing things with me rather than teaching me once we progressed beyond the borders of Wysteria. When Giles told me that Laurelia was devolving further into chaos, and the exact situation between the two major aristocratic families, I couldn’t but help wonder if my family were okay. I had ran to escape my over controlling brother, but I had left many friends in my wake, including Alec and Ewan.

Giles had noticed the Princess’ expressions when he advised her of the situation in Laurelia. It was unusual that she was so educated on those countries outside of their borders, but had little understanding of the system in Wysteria. Sid was on his way to the castle, and this was probably going to be a long trip for the information dealer.

“That does look like Caterina Bradley, but it’s been quite a while,” Ewan and Sid were meeting in the Blue Bell café, as Alec passed over with the intention of looking like he was clearing the plates whilst Ewan allowed the waiter the chance to look at the sketch and affirmed with a nod before taking the tray away. “Logan often hosts parties, and if I mention about the new Princess of Wysteria, it would be something he would be trying to get in favour with as a chance to gain a one up on the Cromwells,” he added quietly.

“Giles won’t be too happy with all the news though,” Sid frowned, pocketing the sketch swiftly. “He will be reluctant to let the Princess attend when all we have news of is the growing problems between the Bradleys and Cromwells.”

“Then, we will just have to make it so that everyone knows to stay on their best behaviour,” Ewan sat back in his chair, his face a mask of impassiveness to those who didn’t know him.

I was more than a little surprised to see Sid in the office with Giles when I was summoned one morning instead of having a dance ‘lesson’ with Louis. Sid was a regular customer to the bakery I had worked at, and would usually stock up on our goods before leaving on his work trips, though he masked his expression a lot quicker than I did as Giles looked between us both.

“When I worked at the bakery, Sid was a frequent customer,” I smiled and explained. “He would empty us out as he stocked up to go away on trips.”

“I wondered why the cakes didn’t taste as good,” Sid was smirking before turning to business. I had always been curious and asked questions, but he simply told me that he worked in things a girl with a pretty face was better off never knowing. His relentless flirting in the shop would always leave me flustered and unable to give a retort and was told by the baker that he was the only one who did that to me as well.

“We have been invited by Laurelia to attend a ball,” Giles explained. “Sid has ascertained that the feud between the aristocratic families is restricted to their own lands, and this is in the grounds of the royal palace. It is a chance to see how your diplomatic skills work, though this is a more precarious situation than I would like for your foreign debut.”

“Well, I am certain that your lessons will have paid off for certain,” I smiled, trying to keep my panic from surfacing. “It would be rude to turn it down.”

“Especially without a valid reason. You will need to choose an escort for the dance, and I will come with you of course as the King’s Adviser,” Giles nodded, a firm expression setting the tone for the whole event.

Sid was more than a little surprised when he was able to slide into my room after escaping from Giles and his plans.

“I should have been around to warn you about this,” he smirked, kissing the back of my hand in faux gesture before sliding next to me on the sofa.

“That Nico’s teasing note left on the invitation saying that he reckoned that I couldn’t pass in a posh ballroom with other women would actually get me Princess Elect,” I replied, tilting my head. “What do you actually do then? Because it’s clearly something to do with the palace.”

“I’m an information dealer,” he wouldn’t look me in the eye straight away and waited to give his answer. “I find things out, and go places that a beautiful smile should never follow me to.”

“And what if I said that you should be my escort to the ball then?” I interjected. “If you’re the information dealer, then you’re the one who knows what the situation is in Laurelia and can recognise the danger signals,” I explained with a confidence I hadn’t heard from myself before. “With you and Giles there, and a few guards, I cannot see why I wouldn’t be safe,” I proclaimed.

“Good at making cakes, a stunning smile and you’re able to twist every situation to you,” Sid dryly laughed, sitting back momentarily and then studying me it seemed. His eyes were undressing me as I blushed red. “I was worried when you weren’t at the bakery,” his thumb was tracing over my bottom lip, and I could see his pupils starting to dilate.

“Well, everyone always said I was too refined for my job,” I weakly joked, making no attempt to move back from him before the door opened swiftly, and I jumped back in defence.

“Oh, Sid, I think Giles was looking for you,” Nico’s tone was cool, like nothing I had heard before from my attendant. But the instruction was clear, as the dark-haired male slipped away without gesture or complaint.

Nico was stiff and formal and then turned to me with a frown. “I didn’t realise you knew Sid as well,” he cooly stated whilst tipping the cold tea out to make a fresh pot.

“I didn’t know he worked for the palace, he would regularly come into the bakery and clear us out of cakes and things before he would go off on his travels,” I replied. “He didn’t know I was made into the Princess Elect, so we were just catching up,” I shrugged, accepting the cup of tea from Nico. “Will you be coming with us? To Laurelia,” I paused.

“Giles will probably want me to, do you?” Nico was sounding like he was trying to distance himself from me, and wouldn’t even lift his head to look at me.

“I trust you, Nico, do you trust me?” I placed my hand on his arm. “If I had know who Sid was exactly, you would have known. He was a regular customer at the bakery and would flirt with me to fluster me, all I knew is that he worked away a lot.”

“Sorry, I’m just worried about you returning to Laurelia, and what your brother might try if he finds out,” I saw the downcast embarrassment in his eyes before squeezing his arm in reassurance.

“Well, I’ve got Giles, Sid and you and some guards coming with me,” I smiled. “I don’t think there’s going to be much of a chance of my brother trying anything in front of so many people. It’s a royal palace party as well, so it’s not on his home turf.”

“Well, you are Princess of Wysteria now,” Nico finally smiled, much to my relief. “Which does mean you should be getting ready for bed anyway.”

“Always a long day ahead,” I teased and laughed, rising to get myself sorted for the night.

It had been a long journey, and I was grateful that we had a couple of days before the ball. Though Giles had to be persuaded to let me rest up appropriately instead of trying to schedule me in for diplomacy with every individual going, especially after reminding him about the aristocratic feud. Sid and Nico were both practically glued to my sides, and I had only been out in the gardens for one walk before it became too obvious that both of my escorts were very much on their guard and suspicious of practically everyone.

It was the first time I was announced in as Princess Caterina of Wysteria, and the whole room was watching me as I glided down the stairs in the regal manner that Giles had drilled into me. Sid was poised as my escort, holding my arm whilst wearing his best outfit, though he had repeatedly told me that he was only doing this because I had asked him to. He wanted nothing more than to disappear into the background and go digging about to find out the most recent updates.

I forced him to keep focused on his moves as we waltzed around the floor. Everyone was watching me and it was essential to make the elegant impression for my debut outside of Wysteria. I had heard that I was now the talk of a lot of the foreign nations as I spotted the King of Laurelia on the throne in the centre of the back wall. Our eye contact was momentarily, but there was a flash of recognition on his face.

Then I saw the person I had last wanted to see.

My brother.

Logan Bradley was stood with Ewan on a side of the room. And both of them were staring straight at me as I tried to edge Sid off the opposite side of the room.

I walked straight into Ryan Cromwell.

My debut was not going well.

“Caterina?” He asked with a stumped look, a woman on his arm.

“Princess Caterina of Wysteria,” Sid immediately bristled before we immediately went to find Giles and Nico, the plans all beginning to change as the attention was starting to turn to me.

“This is where things are going to get interesting,” Giles was glaring at me. “Just who are you?”

“Princess Caterina of Wysteria,” I replied, sticking my nose slightly in the air to return the haughtiness that the adviser had taught me.

“And my sister,” I froze slightly as the men turned their gaze to Logan who was stood behind me.

“I forfeited the Bradley name when I left Laurelia ten years ago,” I sharply replied, finally turning around to face the inevitable. Ewan was still looking too shocked to string his thoughts together. “I am not a Bradley, and I am not your sister, I am the Princess Elect of Wysteria,” I stated, taking the time to ‘introduce’ myself and even curtseyed.

Logan went to take a step closer, only to find that both Sid and Giles had moving protectively in front of me, whilst Nico was starting to pull on my arm to leave.

“I will come back for you another time then,” Logan promised before leaving with a humph, and my shoulders sagged a little in relief.

“Well, we have things to talk about later Princess,” Giles was frowning. “For now, we stay and survey the damage.”

There’s nothing holding me back

Sooo, this is gonna be a multichapter bc I am too lazy to think about 5 different ideas for this thing but I really wanted to participate, this is a really mess and no proofread it at all bc, when will I do? Hope you don’t hate it 

-II don’t wanna go -She sighed to her best friend who was just looking at her amused 

-We have to, all, otherwise we won’t look like a consolidated pack -Simón pulled one loose straw of her hair behind her ear 

-I know, but .. ugh -Luna was frustrated, but more that frustrated anxious -I don’t like to meet vampires, they are just so....

-Vampires? -He replyed amused and both laughed 

-You know what I mean Simon, why do we have to talk to them? -She pouted and Simon just boop her nose to make her giggle 

-Because this is their territory since god knows how many years, and people told me they are actually chill -Simon reconsidered the term, because vampires are never chill -I mean they aren’t as problematic as others, so if they accept to have us here we won’t have to go from town to town running away from hunters 

-And why don’t go just the two leaders? -Luna questioned him, she was scared yes, the whole past encounters with vampires never ended good 

-I asked that and he said that they need to know every werewolf of the pack, and Luna it’s their conditions, so stop whinning and let’s go, it’s almost time -He said standing up and she rolled her eyes following him 

They arrived with 10 minutes of anticipation, vampires weren’t known to be patiente beings so they stayed in formation until that time, first Simon alfa of the pack with Luna, his best friend by his right side, they grew up together after their parents were killed by hunters and that’s why they were that close, on the other side they were Pedro and Nico, Simon´s best friends also, the four of them were the first werewolves in the pack and behind Luna there was Nina, her best friend, the newest member and beside to her Jim and Yam they entered the pack just some weeks before Nina. Theyhave been a pack just for a little bit longer than a year that’s why they were still looking places to consolidate themselves.

When they felt some light steps they knew the vampire crew was coming, and they apperead in front of their eyes in less than 2 seconds, Luna took some seconds to scan them all, she started with the ones  in the back, they were two girls one brunette and one read headed, like all vampires they looked like straight out of a magazine no matter how old they were, not like werewolves, (puberty wasn’t really nice to them) then there were two brunettes guys one tall and the other one was the shorter of the group but was the only one that wasn’t looking at them with superiority, and in the front there was a girl and a boy, and Luna swore she had never seen anyone more beautiful in her life, the girl was blonde with blue eyes and looked like an angel and was hugging herself to the other guy who looked like a greek god, her hair was curly, that kind of curly you want to stroke and his skin was actually tanned, she didn’t even knew vampires could be tanned, and his eyes were deep brown, so deep that it’s hard for you to stop looking at them but when Luna realized he was staring at her back and smirking, a wave of heat went throught all her body making her look away fast, and stepping back of Simon to try to hide the blush on her face. 

-Thank you for accept to meet us -Simon was the first talk taking a step forward -I’m Simon -He said offering her hand and for a second Luna thought they would ignore it, but the other guy took also a step forward with the blonde still hugged to his arm and shook his hand 

-I’m Matteo -He said with a raspy voice, it was surely an accent but Luna couldn’t knew exactly what was -An they are my crew, Ambar -He pointed to the girl on his arm 

-His fiancé- she said and  just gave them something that could be barely descripte like a grin and Luna felt something in her stomach she never felt before, and surely she couldn’t describe 

-Ramiro -Matteo kept introducing the tall guy nodded -Gastón - the short guy waved at them with a very warm smile and Luna couldn’t help but gave him another one back -And Delfi and Jazmin -He pointed the brunette and the red headed respectively 

-Nice to meet you all, this is my pack, she is Luna -Simón said pointing at her and she tried her best to give them a sincere smile but when her eyes found Matteo’s her sight went inmediatly to the floor -Nico, Pedro, Nina, Jim and Yam -They all nodded as greet 

-Same, so straght to the point, why are we here? -Matteo asked taking control of the meeting

-We are what you can call a new pack and we are looking for a place to stablish ourselves, and we heard that you are one of the few of the vampires crews that doesn’t like to fight... 

-No, we love it -Ambar interrupted him with a cold grin that gave Luna chills

-Ignore her, please go on -Matteo said uninterested in Ambar and she pouted resting her chin back on his shoulder 

-Well, basically we heard that this is your territory and that you are not problematic and we would like to know if we could stablish ourselves here -Simon finished and Matteo’s eyes traveled throught the whole pack stopping on Luna on what seemed an eternity to her, then he went back to Simon -Do anyone have any good reason for them to not stay? -Matteo asked loud to his crew but without taking his sight out of Simon 

-Besides the fact that they are werewolves? -Jazmin said with a clear disgusted tone and Delfi bumped her with her elbow not subltle at all 

-No valid reasons, great then, one thing -Matteo said letting himself go from Ambar’s grip and started to walk all around the werewolf pack -People here is nice, we don’t hurt them, we protect them -Luna smiled hearing that, working side to side with vampires to protect people was an ideal that she never thought possible -North, East of the forest is ours to hunt, you can keep south and west, if you past that territory we won’t go after you, but we won’t trust you,and if we don’t trust eachother what is going to happen? -Matteo asked standing in front of Nina but the poor girl couldn’t say a word even if she would want to 

-War -Ambar said with a big smile on her face

-That’s right, war, and we don’t want that, right sweaty? -Matteo asked Nina again who just shook her head in denial -One last thing, try to keep your blood inside you, sobrenatural blood gives us a hard time to control ourselves -Matteo said very close to Luna’s ear making her do a little jump on her spot -And if that it’s all, we’ll see you around -Matteo said standing back next to Ambar 

-We’ll see you then -Simon nodded to Matteo and with that they dissapeared of their sight.

Once the meeting ended they could finally stablish in a big old manor  of the town that they found close to the montains where they were supposed to hunt and during the dinner they reunited all again to talk like every night 

-So, what did you think about the vampires? -Pedro asked to everyone 

-They weren’t that bad -Simon replyed nonchalanty 

-They weren’t? -Nina asked shocked, Luna knew how anxious Nina gets about everything and she was sure she never dealed with vampires before 

-You still have your blood in your body, so no they weren’t the worst vampires I’ve seen -Nico said a little mad, and Nina just nodded shy remembering how Nico’s little sister was killed by vampires 

-Yes they were kind of assholes, but what vampire isn’t? -Pedro joked to light the tension 

-Plus, there are mortals that are assholes too so I don’t think they are the worst beings -Yam agreed 

-And they looked actually, nice.. I guess -Jim said not sure if nice was the word she was looking for -Besides from the blonde and the ginger, they didn’t seem like hate us 

-The Gaston one looked actually really nice -Nina said in a low voice and they all could see a little blush on her cheeks 

-Oooh little Nina has a crush on little vampire dude? -Pedro said amused and Nina’s little blush turned into a whole tomato face 

-Wha... what? What are you talking about? Of course not -Nina rambled nervous trying to defend herself 

-I hope not, because you know a relationship between a werewolf and a vampire won’t work, never -Nico stated serious 

-Why won’t work out? If there’s true love nothing else matter -Jim said as the hopeless romantic she was 

-Because we get old and die while they stay like that forever, do you think that when you are 50 that guy looking like 20 would want to stay with you? to kiss you? to sleep with you? and even if he’s want to, wouldn’t be totally selfish to let them watch you die while they keep here? -Nico answered and they all stayed silence for a second knowing he was telling the truth 

-That’s harsh, but it’s true, that’s why they all stay with people of their kind, like Matteo and Ambar -Pedro said nodding and Luna couldn’t help but let a little disgusted sound out that only Simon percibied 

-And what about you? -He asked to Luna intrigued -You’ve been weirdly quiet since we got back 

-I have nothing to say, I think the same, assholes but could be worse so I really don’t care -She shrugged them off 

-Didn’t you care how much Matteo was staring at you? -Yam questioned in that pitchy voice she always used to talk about guys to her 

-Oh my god, I thought I was the only one who saw that, but he was totally eating you with those perfect brown eyes -Jim said joining her and they all laughed except Luna who just looked at them a little bothered 

-You are delirious -Luna said standing up 

-Where are you going? -Simon asked still chuckling about the girls behaviour 

-Walk around a little, get to know the twon maybe -She realized that Simon was about to offered himself to walk her so she interrupted even before he could say a word -Alone 

-But you are new here, it could be dangerous -Nina said worried for her best friend, though she was always worried about something 

-I think I can handle it myself -Luna said showing her claws and walked off the manor
