This is a reminder that on March 4th, 2024, the Supreme Court of the United States ordered donald j. trump to have 87 Democrats in both houses of Congress remove his insurrectionist disqualification from ever holding any federal office again; because if he didn't, nothing, including MAGA SCOTUS, could stop Democrats in the House and Senate from disqualifying him; even if he wins the 2024 presidential election. He failed to do so prior to November 5, 2024.

*** Just wanted to include a huge thank you to everyone who is liking and reblogging this post and engaging by writing to your congressional representatives AND Democratic Leaders Schumer and Jeffries. You're all amazing and I appreciate you so much! For those asking when we'll be seeing this in the news, I'm working on that every day; and every time anyone here on Tumblr engages like I mentioned above, it increases the chances that Leaders Schumer and Jeffries will speak about it on major media outlets. For everyone wanting to see this in the news sooner than later, please copy and paste this entire message into an email and send it to everyone you know, and then please also share this information with Marc Elias of Democracy Docket and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington via [email protected] and [email protected]; because if enough people contact those attorneys, those attorneys have all of the media contacts they need to gain even more support for this effort.

I'm being asked what people can do once they've contacted their representatives and Democratic Leaders Schumer and Jeffries. The next step is lawyering up for United States vs. trump et. al. (donald trump and every state elector in the Electoral College who attempts to engage in and further insurrection against the United States by voting for disqualified insurrectionist donald j. trump). MAGA and trump are constantly being defeated in court by Marc Elias and his Democracy Docket team across the United States, and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington are the attorneys from the Anderson vs. trump case and numerous other cases against MAGA, donald trump, and the trump administration. Those attorneys can and will represent the United States, alongside the actual U.S. Department of Justice, in stopping donald trump from being elected by the Electoral College on December 17, 2024.

I'm so thankful that people here on Tumblr are feeling more hopeful after reading this post; because it was heartbreaking for me to witness the extent of the trauma and misery around this site immediately after the election. I hope this message finds everyone in a much better situation than they were in November 6th. Have a great day, everyone! ***

*** For those asking about a normal presidential line of succession when donald trump is disqualified via Section 3/14A, MAGA SCOTUS addressed this on March 4th, 2024 in their Anderson opinions about how federal enforcement that disqualifies donald trump post-election would change the President-elect to Kamala Harris, not j.d. vance; and technically, j.d. vance is conspiring with a known insurrectionist to assist that disqualified insurrectionist in holding office in violation of the U.S. Constitution, so he's disqualified as well. But if vance wasn't disqualified for giving aid to an insurrectionist, there is no presidential line of succession prior to a President-elect being inaugurated and sworn in; especially when that disqualified insurrectionist President-elect can't even be elected by the Electoral College; so it's just a disqualified presidential candidate dragging down everyone with them due to their insurrectionist disqualification. The Republican party knew that donald trump was and is nothing more than a disqualified presidential candidate who never had a real chance of being elected, thus they knowingly forfeited the 2024 presidential race to Harris when they nominated trump; and MAGA SCOTUS acknowledged this when even they acknowledged that donald trump is, and would continue to be, at the mercy of the Democrats in the House and Senate if he somehow managed to win the election and attempted to hold office as a disqualified insurrectionist. ***

Between today and December 17th, 2024, donald j. trump has no choice but to go to Congress and have 70 Democrats in the House of Representatives and 17 Democrats in the Senate vote to remove his insurrectionist disqualification, as he was ordered to do by SCOTUS on March 4th, 2024, or he's not legally the President Elect and cannot be inaugurated, sworn in, or hold federal office again on January 20, 2025. The clock is ticking!

What will happen on December 17th, 2024 if donald j. trump hasn't cleared his insurrectionist disqualification via a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress? Every Elector attempting to elect a known insurrectionist will be disqualified from being an Elector for engaging in and furthering insurrection against the United States. It is impossible for donald j. trump to remain as President Elect on December 17th, 2024; because every Elector in every state who attempts to vote for donald j. trump for President would then have to be immediately cleared of their insurrectionist disqualification by a two-thirds vote of their state legislature so that they could then vote for the only remaining legal, non-insurrectionist candidate. If donald j. trump hasn't cleared his insurrectionist disqualification by December 17, 2024, the only legal presidential candidate the Electoral College can vote for is Kamala Harris.

Article 2: Clause 3: Electoral College See also: Twelfth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Twentieth Amendment to the United States Constitution, Contingent election, Electoral College abolition amendment, Efforts to reform the United States Electoral College, and National Popular Vote Interstate Compact The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse [sic] by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse [sic] the President. But in chusing [sic] the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse [sic] from them by Ballot the Vice President.

Electoral College Elector Selection Process Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution requires each state legislature to determine how electors for the state are to be chosen, but it disqualifies any person holding an Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, from being an elector. Under Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment, any person who has sworn an oath to support the United States Constitution in order to hold either a state or federal office, and later rebelled against the United States directly or by giving assistance to those doing so, is disqualified from being an elector. Congress may remove this disqualification by a two-thirds vote in each house. (Wikipedia)

For those who would argue this is misinformation due to donald trump's MAGA cult allies in the Senate preventing him from being convicted, the bipartisan congressional J6 Committee investigated donald j. trump for insurrection, found him guilty of insurrection, referred him for criminal prosecution for insurrection, and donald j. trump was indicted and is currently being prosecuted for insurrection by the Department of Justice (unless the case gets dropped). Section 3 of the 14th Amendment doesn't require a formal conviction, so the congressional investigation, finding of insurrection, and the congressional committee referral for criminal prosecution, along with the federal indictment and prosecution for insurrection, can easily be used to keep donald j. trump from ever holding federal office again. Per the Supreme Court of the United States' own Berger Test to disqualify judges, the ridiculous, nonsensical, unethical and illegal MAGA SCOTUS majority "ruling" pertaining to their attempted declaration of donald j. trump's permanent immunity from federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment means absolutely nothing for him, or any other insurrectionist; because it lacks standing in precedent, law, constitutionality, and relevance.

The three dissenting justices clarify that the only matter that was actually legally settled and, therefore, legally enforceable, pertained to state actions, not federal law enforcement actions against a disqualified insurrectionist presidential or federal candidate, such as donald j. trump, committing the federal crime of being an insurrectionist attempting to hold office without having their insurrectionist disqualification removed via a two-thirds vote of both houses. And so it is legal fact that the Supreme Court did, in fact, order donald j. trump to have his insurrectionist disqualification removed by a two-thirds vote of both houses on March 4th, 2024; it's just that donald j. trump and his legal team were too illiterate and unintelligent to actually read what was legal and had standing (state enforcement against federal candidates), and what didn't (MAGA SCOTUS whining and crying about federal enforcement against federal candidates/their presidential candidate). And MAGA SCOTUS is now permanently legally barred from ever addressing any matter pertaining to federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against donald j. trump, so they can't even try to interfere on his behalf again should Democrats in the House of Representatives and the Senate demand and force a vote on the matter of donald j. trump's disqualification for holding federal office.

Berger v. United States, 255 U.S. 22 (1921), is a United States Supreme Court decision overruling a trial court decision by U.S. District Court Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis against Rep. Victor L. Berger, a Congressman for Wisconsin's 5th district and the founder of the Social Democratic Party of America, and several other German-American defendants who were convicted of violating the Espionage Act by publicizing anti-interventionist views during World War I.

The case was argued on December 9, 1920, and decided on January 31, 1921, with an opinion by Justice Joseph McKenna and dissents by Justices William R. Day, James Clark McReynolds, and Mahlon Pitney. The Supreme Court held that Judge Landis was properly disqualified as trial judge based on an affidavit filed by the German defendants asserting that Judge Landis' public anti-German statements should disqualify him from presiding over the trial of the defendants.

The House of Representatives twice denied Berger his seat in the House due to his original conviction for espionage using Section 3 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution regarding denying office to those who supported "insurrection or rebellion". The Supreme Court overturned the verdict in 1921 in Berger v. U.S., and Berger won three successive terms in the House in the 1920s.

Per the United States Supreme Court's "Berger test" that states that to disqualify ANY judge in the United States of America: 1) a party files an affidavit claiming personal bias or prejudice demonstrating an "objectionable inclination or disposition of the judge" and 2) claim of bias is based on facts antedating the trial.

All 6 criminal MAGA insurrectionist and trump-loyalist U.S. Supreme Court Justices who've repeatedly and illegally ruled in donald j. trump's favor are as disqualified from issuing any rulings pertaining to donald j. trump (a German immigrant) as the United States Supreme Court ruled U.S. District Court Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis was when he attempted to deny Victor L. Berger (a German immigrant) from holding office for violating the Espionage Act and supporting or engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States of America.

RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Rule 8. Disbarment and Disciplinary Action

Whenever a member of the Bar of this Court has been disbarred or suspended from practice in any court of record, or has engaged in conduct unbecoming a member of the Bar of this Court, the Court will enter an order suspending that member from practice before this Court and affording the member an opportunity to show cause, within 40 days, why a disbarment order should not be entered. Upon response, or if no response is timely filed, the Court will enter an appropriate order.

After reasonable notice and an opportunity to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken, and after a hearing if material facts are in dispute, the Court may take any appropriate disciplinary action against any attorney who is admitted to practice before it for conduct unbecoming a member of the Bar or for failure to comply with these Rules or any Rule or order of the Court.

The only misinformation that exists surrounding the Anderson vs. trump ruling is the belief that the MAGA SCOTUS ruling on federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against donald j. trump settled the matter and handed him permanent immunity from prosecution should he ever commit the federal crime of attempting to hold federal office. In legal fact, MAGA SCOTUS' nonsensical ruling attempting to grant donald j. trump permanent immunity from prosecution for insurrection is grounds for immediate and permanent disbarment; as they're clearly attempting to legislate from the bench and prevent Congress from legislating in a way that's unfavorable to their presidential candidate.

This is the only pertinent and legally important part of the Anderson vs. trump ruling with regards to federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against donald j. trump or any other insurrectionist committing the federal crime of attempting to hold office without first having their insurrectionist disqualification removed by a two-thirds vote of both houses:

Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson Opinion on the Majority Ruling (supremecourt.gov):

Yet the majority goes further. Even though “[a]ll nine Members of the Court” agree that this independent and sufficient rationale resolves this case, five Justices go on. They decide novel constitutional questions to insulate this Court and petitioner from future controversy. Ante, at 13. Although only an individual State’s action is at issue here, the majority opines on which federal actors can enforce Section 3, and how they must do so. The majority announces that a disqualification for insurrection can occur only when Congress enacts a particular kind of legislation pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment. In doing so, the majority shuts the door on other potential means of federal enforcement. We cannot join an opinion that decides momentous and difficult issues unnecessarily, and we therefore concur only in the judgment.

Yet the Court continues on to resolve questions not before us. In a case involving no federal action whatsoever, the Court opines on how federal enforcement of Section 3 must proceed. Congress, the majority says, must enact legislation under Section 5 prescribing the procedures to “ ‘ “ascertain[ ] what particular individuals” ’ ” should be disqualified. Ante, at 5 (quoting Griffin’s Case, 11 F. Cas. 7, 26 (No. 5,815) (CC Va. 1869) (Chase, Circuit Justice)). These musings are as inadequately supported as they are gratuitous.

To start, nothing in Section 3’s text supports the majority’s view of how federal disqualification efforts must operate. Section 3 states simply that “[n]o person shall” hold certain positions and offices if they are oathbreaking insurrectionists. Amdt. 14. Nothing in that unequivocal bar suggests that implementing legislation enacted under Section 5 is “critical” (or, for that matter, what that word means in this context). Ante, at 5. In fact, the text cuts the opposite way. Section 3 provides that when an oathbreaking insurrectionist is disqualified, “Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.” It is hard to understand why the Constitution would require a congressional supermajority to remove a disqualification if a simple majority could nullify Section 3’s operation by repealing or declining to pass implementing legislation. Even petitioner’s lawyer acknowledged the “tension” in Section 3 that the majority’s view creates. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 31.

Similarly, nothing else in the rest of the Fourteenth Amendment supports the majority’s view. Section 5 gives Congress the “power to enforce [the Amendment] by appropriate legislation.” Remedial legislation of any kind, however, is not required. All the Reconstruction Amendments (including the due process and equal protection guarantees and prohibition of slavery) “are self-executing,” meaning that they do not depend on legislation. City of Boerne v. Flores, 521 U.S. 507, 524 (1997); see Civil Rights Cases, 109 U.S. 3, 20 (1883). Similarly, other constitutional rules of disqualification, like the two-term limit on the Presidency, do not require implementing legislation. See, e.g., Art. II, §1, cl. 5 (Presidential Qualifications); Amdt. 22 (Presidential Term Limits). Nor does the majority suggest otherwise. It simply creates a special rule for the insurrection disability in Section 3.

The majority is left with next to no support for its requirement that a Section 3 disqualification can occur only pursuant to legislation enacted for that purpose. It cites Griffin’s Case, but that is a nonprecedential, lower court opinion by a single Justice in his capacity as a circuit judge. See ante, at 5 (quoting 11 F. Cas., at 26). Once again, even petitioner’s lawyer distanced himself from fully embracing this case as probative of Section 3’s meaning. See Tr. of Oral Arg. 35–36. The majority also cites Senator Trumbull’s statements that Section 3 “ ‘provide[d] no means for enforcing’ ” itself. Ante, at 5 (quoting Cong. Globe, 41st Cong., 1st Sess., 626 (1869)). The majority, however, neglects to mention the Senator’s view that “[i]t is the [F]ourteenth [A]mendment that prevents a person from holding office,” with the proposed legislation simply “affor[ding] a more efficient and speedy remedy” for effecting the disqualification. Cong. Globe, 41st Cong., 1st Sess., at 626–627.

Ultimately, under the guise of providing a more “complete explanation for the judgment,” ante, at 13, the majority resolves many unsettled questions about Section 3. It forecloses judicial enforcement of that provision, such as might occur when a party is prosecuted by an insurrectionist and raises a defense on that score. The majority further holds that any legislation to enforce this provision must prescribe certain procedures “ ‘tailor[ed]’ ” to Section 3, ante, at 10, ruling out enforcement under general federal statutes requiring the government to comply with the law. By resolving these and other questions, the majority attempts to insulate all alleged insurrectionists from future challenges to their holding federal office.

“What it does today, the Court should have left undone.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 158 (2000) (Breyer, J., dissenting). The Court today needed to resolve only a single question: whether an individual State may keep a Presidential candidate found to have engaged in insurrection off its ballot. The majority resolves much more than the case before us. Although federal enforcement of Section 3 is in no way at issue, the majority announces novel rules for how that enforcement must operate. It reaches out to decide Section 3 questions not before us, and to foreclose future efforts to disqualify a Presidential candidate under that provision. In a sensitive case crying out for judicial restraint, it abandons that course.

Section 3 serves an important, though rarely needed, role in our democracy. The American people have the power to vote for and elect candidates for national office, and that is a great and glorious thing. The men who drafted and ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, however, had witnessed an “insurrection [and] rebellion” to defend slavery. §3. They wanted to ensure that those who had participated in that insurrection, and in possible future insurrections, could not return to prominent roles. Today, the majority goes beyond the necessities of this case to limit how Section 3 can bar an oathbreaking insurrectionist from becoming President. Although we agree that Colorado cannot enforce Section 3, we protest the majority’s effort to use this case to define the limits of federal enforcement of that provision. Because we would decide only the issue before us, we concur only in the judgment.

What all of that means is that between now and December 17th, 2024, donald j. trump has no choice but to go to Congress and have 70 Democrats in the House of Representatives and 17 Democrats in the Senate vote to remove his insurrectionist disqualification, as he was ordered to do by SCOTUS on March 4th, 2024, or he's not legally the President Elect and cannot be inaugurated, sworn in, or hold federal office again on January 20, 2025. The clock is down to 19 days, and ticking!

Here's why this will work: donald trump's legal tactics are deny, attempt to wiggle out of it on technicalities, and delay, delay, delay. Well, from November 2023 to March 4, 2024, donald trump not only said that he was never an officer of the United States, but that he also never swore an oath to support the United States Constitution. And then he said that Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says nothing about running for office, only holding office, and since he's only running for office, nothing can keep him off the ballot. And that's where this has finally caught up to him.

SCOTUS illegally took the case to begin with. Per the U.S. Constitution, SCOTUS was required to kick the case back to Congress immediately to force a two-thirds vote of both houses to remove or enforce donald trump's insurrectionist disqualification, and that would've settled the entire matter within a day. But they illegally denied Congress the ability to vote on it at the time, illegally legislated from the bench to keep donald trump on the ballot by illegally amending Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution, and dismissed the clear two-thirds vote requirement to replace it with "Congress must pass new legislation and amend Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in order to keep insurrectionists off of the ballot and out of office in the future. All six MAGA SCOTUS injustices can now be immediately and permanently disbarred from ever judging or practicing law anywhere in the United States now and in the future for that illegal legislating from the bench; because the U.S. Constitution clearly says that the Judiciary can never interfere with Congress legislating, or with the President enforcing the laws of the United States.

donald trump and his allies figured that was a win, that SCOTUS couldn't be challenged, that the Democrats could never get legislation passed to keep him off the ballot or from holding office again, and the matter was dropped. But that's where he was wrong; because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment still reads, and only legally reads, that the only way an insurrectionist can hold federal office again is by a two-thirds vote removing their insurrectionist disqualification in both the House of Representatives and the Senate; and that means that now that donald trump can't try and use the technicality of "I'm not even trying to hold office, I'm just running for office," and he's actively trying to hold office with no technicality wiggle room, donald trump's only path to the White House is to have 70 Democrats in the House of Representatives and 17 Democrats in the Senate vote to remove his insurrectionist disqualification by December 17th, 2017; and his favorite tactic of delay, delay, delay won't work because delaying means he can't be inaugurated, sworn in, and serve as the 47th President of the United States; and that means Kamala Harris would become 47th President of the United States by default.

donald j. trump is actively engaging in the federal crime of attempting to hold federal office while being an impeached and criminally indicted insurrectionist. Chuck Schumer can easily force the Section 3 vote in the Senate; and if donald j. trump gets no Democrat votes in the Senate, then the House vote is unnecessary. If MAGA mike johnson refuses to allow a House vote, then that's an instant disqualification for insurrectionist donald j. trump.

Hakeem Jeffries Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives https://www.congress.gov/member/hakeem-jeffries/J000294 https://democraticleader.house.gov/contact

Chuck Schumer Democratic Leader of the Senate https://www.congress.gov/member/charles-schumer/S000148 https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck

Here's a form letter that'll be under 1980 characters no matter if you're contacting House Democratic Leader Jeffries or Senate Democratic Leader Schumer. Just copy and paste the text into the contact form. If these Democratic leaders receive hundreds of these messages from different IP/Internet addresses, we'll have their attemtion. If they receive thousands of these messages from different IP/Internet addresses, we might see this in the news. If they receive tens of thousands of these messages from different IP/Internet addresses, we might finally be free from the threat of another donald trump presidency (turnout is everything in this fight for our human and civil rights, freedoms, and literal survival as non-trump supporters and non-MAGA cult members).

Dear Democratic Leader Jeffries,

My family, loved ones, friends, and I are greatly concerned that Donald J. Trump and all of his MAGA allies, supporters, enablers, donors, and voters have what clearly appear to be genocidal intentions to all American non-Trump supporters and voters whom they call, "traitors, anti-American, enemies from within, very bad people, very dangerous people, racists, radicals, extremists, communists, Marxists, fascists, thugs, liars, sick, ugly, stupid, mindless, thoughtless, brainless, disabled, deranged, criminals, rapists, cheaters, sleazebags, low-lifes, scum, trash, genetically inferior, weak, poison, insects, animals, rats, snakes, and vermin" on a regular basis. As I'm sure that you and all elected Democrat representatives at every level across the United States are aware, Donald J. Trump was not granted permanent immunity from federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in the SCOTUS ruling for Anderson vs. Trump on March 4, 2024; and the moment Donald J. Trump was declared the President Elect, he was committing the federal crime of attempting to hold office while being an impeached and indicted insurrectionist without first having that insurrectionist disqualification removed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress. Donald J. Trump and his MAGA cult appear to intend to not only deport 15 million people, but to also engage in undeniable genocide and ethnic and cultural cleansing against half the population of the United States (using voter registration as a "vermin" purge mechanism). Thankfully, per the Supreme Court's own Berger Test to disqualify judges, Donald J. Trump's MAGA SCOTUS allies can never intervene on any of his legal cases again, so if you would please bring the matter of a two-thirds vote to the House of Representatives for an immediate vote by no later than December 11th, 2024, my fellow Americans and I would greatly appreciate it.

Respectully,

An American patriot

Alex V. “Ajax” Johnson moodboard + random headcannons

-his middle name is Vance

-from southwest USA area (Arizona/New Mexico/Nevada/Texas)

-middle child, had two sisters that he loved so so dearly (“my girls” is how he’d refer to them. everyone that really knew him knew about his girls back at home)

-had the best sense of humor amongst the Ghosts, next to Kick and Rorke (and Merrick, believe it or not)

-epitome of stubborn, absolutely didn’t give a fuck (view: him flipping the Feds off while being tortured). was both a gift and a curse for him

-knew Keegan since they were teens (canon bc of Sand Viper, but I like to think they go back a little further than that)

-blues/punk/rock/industrial/hip hop/classical/alternative listener. 70s music lover

-first in his family to join the military. his mother nearly had a heart attack

-favorite Ghost aside from Keegan was Rorke, big mentor for him. made the betrayal sting even more, watching the man abandon the values he helped instill in him

-had the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap

-Sand Viper felt like a fever dream to him, and it took a while to even remotely calm his nervous system down. he had nightmares for a while, like most of them did, and would sleep near Keegan whenever possible

-^he considered it what made him a man rather than a boy

-used to prank Rorke and Elias on base with the other guys. if anyone got caught, it was usually him (you could always hear him snickering off in the background somewhere)

-was pretty close with Torch before he went missing

-being the youngest/least experienced member during the Legends Never Die mission was daunting to him. Keegan, although only by a year, was always the youngest, so he felt a ton of pressure for that reason

-mediocre dancer, except for classic ballroom type dances actually. grew up watching his parents do the foxtrot and waltz, so his tango skills were swoon worthy

-^which was a weapon because he’s also very very charming. flirted in an either lighthearted and jokey way or an absolutely bewitching and alluring way. typa guy to quite literally charm his way into your pants

-very ironically used to dress up as a ghost for Halloween when he was a kid a lot. he wondered if maybe he was always destined to be one, either as a part of the task force or his inevitable demise

-had a wide and pretty smile, naturally straight teeth that lit his face up when he grinned (like I imagine Hesh would have too)

-looked the best of all the Ghosts with the standard military issue buzz cut. could pull off any hairstyle he was given (cus he was handsome lmfao, that’s it)

-did band in middle school. his sisters teased him for being a flute player instead of doing sports but bless his heart he was good at it!

-was a littleeee bit of a nerd. Could bond with Kick over techy stuff sometimes

-would dream about the sunsets from his hometown when shit got particularly rough, especially during his early marine days. the desert skies brought him peace

#I need him to exist so bad #this is kinda how I see him #rip Ajax you would’ve loved Hesh and Logan #call of duty ghosts #cod ghosts #alex ajax johnson #ajax call of duty #ajax cod #alex v johnson aka ajax #ajax johnson #gabriel rorke #keegan russ #thomas merrick #elias walker #call of duty kick #chris ‘torch’ greene #gunnrblze rambles

The Little Mermaid! Azul Ashengrotto x Yuu (Part 3/3)

Prompt: The story follows a plotline similar to The Little Mermaid. Down in the depths of the Kingdom of Atlantica, Yuu is known as the treasured daughter of the Sea King. Azul has disguised himself as Vance (Like Vanessa in the movie) in order to strike a deal with Prince Elias (Prince Eric) on a traveling ship as a human and Yuu is captivated. When the ship gets caught in a terrible storm, Yuu saves Azul and he’s unable to get her singing voice out of his head but doesn’t know who it is. When Yuu comes to Azul for a contract for her to become a human, he doesn’t realize that she was the one who saved him until after she obtains her legs. Now it’s up to Azul to come up with a plan to stop a romance caused by a misunderstanding.

Author’s Note: This story has a total of around 18k words, so I thought it would be easier to read if I broke it up into three parts.

Part 1: Here!

Part 2: Here!

Part 3: You’re reading it! :)

Grim had begun to pounce on top of Yuu to wake the girl up. Today was the third day, and she was excited to meet the love of her life.

“Come on, Yuu! I’m sure he’s waiting out there on the shore for you. We’ve got no time to waste!” the cat purred with excitement. Not even changing out of her pajamas, she looked into her mirror briefly to adjust her hair, and then took off with Grim in her arms. She wonders what he has been meaning to tell her. Oh, when the three days end, she’ll be able to get her voice back and tell him what she’s been hiding from him too!

Yuu made her way to the castle’s main hall and saw the same large crowd of nobles from yesterday and Prince Elias, waiting with a small box in his hand. The man had knelt down on one knee, looking at Yuu’s confused expression but proceeding anyway.

“It hasn’t been long since I’ve met you, but I sincerely ask you to listen to my word and give me a chance. You’ve changed me as a man and I no longer want to play around with anyone other than you. Will you marry me?” Prince Elias boldly proclaimed, using the social pressure on Yuu to his advantage. The girl was astounded, appalled even.

Huh?? What in Atlantica is he talking about?

“Yikes! Why in the world would he ask that when he knows that you’ve got your eyes on Vance?” Grim scowled as he lay in Yuu’s arms.

Her silence is what made every noble in the room whisper amongst themselves.

She took a step back, making Prince Elias take another step forward.

No! She doesn’t want to be with him!

The Prince leaned over to whisper in her ear, “I know your little secret, so if you don’t cooperate then I’ll…” smirking at Yuu’s mortified expression, he knew that he won.

Azul waited on the beach with a bouquet of flowers in hand in the form of Vance. He had hoped that Yuu liked the small gift that he gave to her in his coat. The nautilus shell. The hint that would let Yuu put the pieces of the whole story together. The sun was almost down and time was beginning to tick, just like he had originally planned when he simply wanted to trick Yuu for his revenge. He obviously didn’t believe in that now and was just waiting for her to come to see him.

“Maybe she’s not returning because she found out that you were her contractor.” Jade guessed while waiting around.

“Nah! Didn’t ya see the way she was making googly eyes at him yesterday? There’s no way Koebi-chan would change up that fast.” Floyd made kissy faces at Azul, snickering when he showed a face of displeasure.

“Isn’t it so obvious how infatuated I am? I must be pathetic for thinking I had a chance.” Azul felt blue. He had his hopes so high in the morning, waiting the entire time, thinking of what he would say, and imagining how Yuu would react. As the hours went by, the bouquet of flowers he held was beginning to wilt. It had even come to the point where he was so insecure that he was playing the, “she loves me not” game with one of the petals of the flowers.

He squatted with his head facing down to the ground, “Of course, she wouldn’t show up. I don’t know why I’ve fooled myself to believe this could work out.” Azul laughed pitifully at himself. Before all hope was lost, the trio could see a fluffy gray cat running towards them. Grim recognized Azul’s human form of Vance and appeared alarmed.

“Hey! I don’t know if you can hear me or not but Yuu is in trouble! That rascal of a prince is forcing Yuu to marry him and their wedding cruise already departed from the docks!” Grim cried out, hoping that maybe this human could understand what he was saying. Azul heard everything loud and clear, and so did the twins, nodding as they looked off into the distance where the ship was sailing west.

“Floyd! Jade! Transform into your merforms and take me to Yuu!” Azul ordered, replacing his doubt with a stronger fortitude. Grim yelped from hearing what he just said.

“Wait a second… Merforms? Floyd and Jade? Y-YOU’RE THE SEA SORCERER ALL ALONG?!” Grim was shocked as Floyd picked up the cat by the scruff of his neck.

“Bingo, Azarashi-chan~!” The animated twin showed a toothy grin. Jade sighed, smirking as he adjusted his gloves. “It’s about time you realized it. Now I wonder how the princess will react.” Jade was amused, set, and ready to take the next step.

“You’ve got to do us a favor since you’re in my debt for granting you those four paws of yours. I need you to quickly swim to the Sea King and tell him that Yuu is in danger.” the Sea Sorcerer had warned, making Grim gulp nervously.

“How am I going to do that? I’m still a cat, y’know?” Grim made obviously.

“Your potion seems to be running out by now,” Jade commented, pointing at how the magic spell on his hind legs was beginning to rewind. Floyd smirked, taking one last look at Grim’s face as he brought the sea puppy to his eyes.

“You hear that, guppy? You better be quick with it, ahaha!” Floyd smiled devilishly, making Grim’s face drop and scared about what was going to happen. The playful twin then got into aiming position, holding onto Grim like he was about to throw a football.

“WAIT–! NO! AAHHHHH!!” Grim exclaimed with dread as it was too late. Floyd had launched Grim into the air and far off into the distance, making a huge splash into the water. Azul felt apprehensive. This uneasiness pooling in his stomach wasn’t enough to stop him from rushing into the water, knee-deep already.

No, no, no! She can’t possibly marry that insufferable imbecile. The sun was beginning to set and this was now a race against time! He needs to end this marriage and come clean with the truth before then.

Some say that a bride on her wedding day is supposed to be the happiest, but Yuu’s gloominess far surpasses any hint of joy. Prince Elias kept the nautilus shell that was in his hands in safekeeping. He doesn’t know when it would come in handy, but if Yuu had tried to object at the wedding lectern, he’d use the shell to fabricate Yuu’s voice to say, “I do.”

Prince Elias threatened the life of her love if she didn’t agree to this marriage. As someone who is next in line for the throne, it’s inevitable that he would gain the power and ability to get rid of anyone, even someone as influential as Vance. Although, he did promise that she would gain the ability to be able to freely roam the human world.

Of course, this was a blatant lie. Even Yuu knew that, but what other options does she have left? The wedding was being forced upon her by a man that’s not her true love, and Yuu couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Prince Elias took Yuu’s arm and held her next to his side. Just how it should’ve been from the beginning. The sounds of organs were already harmonizing as they both slowly walked down the aisle. Yuu had to inhale and exhale to remind herself that she was doing it for him.

Feeling the unfamiliar gazes of strangers on her was uncomfortable, but not as uncomfortable as the man who was taking charge of this entire situation. There was no one she knew here, not even Grim. A wedding ceremony was supposed to be a promise between both people, even the merfolk under the sea knew that. Though, there’ll be vows that will be made for completely wrong reasons.

Her heart wanted to weep.

She was still trapped like a fish in a bowl, unable to do anything but remain within a boundary declared by someone else, not able to attain what she desired after all. The wedding bells were ringing, but most definitely not for her.

“Do you, Elias, take this maiden to be your lovely wedded wife, for as long as you both shall live?” the priest inquired. Yuu took a look at the sun which had almost touched the horizons of the sea, gloomy of what is to come.

“I do.” He said proudly. Prince Elias slowly pulled out the nautilus shell from his pocket. It was any second now that it would be time for him to use this piece of blackmail to solidify his position as the prince in the kingdom, having Yuu’s voice to declare her utmost truthful confession of love at last.

This is not what she wanted at all.

Even after she rebelled against her father…

Even after she signed a contract with the Sea Sorcerer…

Even after she finally became human…

Even after she had fallen in love…

Yuu stared at the ground as her vision became blurry.

Huh?

Tears finally fell from her eyes.

Was this her punishment for falling in love?

This was it, she was going to suffer a fate worse than death.

The nautilus shell with her voice glowed even brighter as it spoke in her voice, “I–”

“I’ve got to hand it to you, you know exactly how to test my patience.” A voice erupted from behind.

Yuu’s head lifted and was directed to the voice. Everyone’s heads had turned towards a man who was interrupting the ceremony. There he stood, heaving with bated breaths from rushing to the wedding. With Jade and Floyd in their true forms, he was just barely able to make it in time.

“Well look at who decided to show up! A villain who juggles more than one mask and deceives others for his own benefit! How shameless can you possibly be, Vance?!” Prince Elias barked. Yuu didn’t hesitate to rush to Azul’s side until the groom forcefully grabbed the bride’s wrist, the girl wincing at the strong pressure. Azul kept walking down the aisle, almost livid that he dared to even think of laying a hand on her. Keeping his composure as much as he could, he decided that he was going to handle this with words and stay as civil as possible. There are witnesses, after all.

“That’s not at all how you should treat a lady. Any man who resorts to violence has already admitted that he has lost.” He approached Yuu as close as he could, hardly minding the gasps and the stares from the nobles around him.

“You’re not denying any of my accusations. You can’t possibly show up to my wedding and then try to take my bride away!”

“Your bride? Your bride?” Azul comes to a halt, his next few words growing bitter and resentful.

“As far as I know, she hasn’t been able to say a single word. For someone who wouldn’t take no for an answer, you’d most definitely take no answer as any answer.” Prince Elias took a step back with Yuu in his hold, his grip becoming tighter. How dare he lay a hand on Yuu?

“Have you ever thought to consider how she felt about any of this? You call her your bride, yet you don’t know a single thing about her. She’s a lustrous gem, yet you lust over her and only wish to attain her for the very wrong reasons. Forcing her to marry you to raise your reputation and clear your name? Please, who’s the real villain here?” Azul laughed, keeping himself as composed as he can be.

“Well, then what about you? How will you value your integrity when you’ve kept this away from her?!” Prince Elias revealed the glowing nautilus shell in his fist. Yuu’s eyes widened, hearing lingering echoes of her own voice radiating from it.

“This is why he’s here! Don’t let him deceive you! Look at him and watch, you’ll see.” The shadows of Azul’s fears began to invade his conscience. He wanted to speak but his throat had begun to tighten.

“Azul Ashengrotto. The man who you believed to be Vance actually turned out to be an octopus! He’s not even a mermaid, either! This entire time he’s only been getting closer to you to use you and make sure he uses you as a bargaining chip against your own father.” He had one final look at the shell and proceeded to toss it to Azul, who barely even caught it.

“Here, keep it. It’s like we’ve made a trade. You keep that little voice of hers and I take her all for myself! Hahaha!” the prince mocked, causing Azul to have deja vu from when he was bullied as a child. Yuu took this opportunity of the prince getting ahead of himself to stomp her heel straight through her perpetrator’s foot. He yelled in pain from her resistance and was offended. All of a sudden, he grabbed a harpoon from the side of the ship and pressed it up against Yuu’s neck.

“How… How dare you?!” Azul bitterly spat, his hands clenched and teeth gritting.

“Yes! Make that face for me, Azul! Show her that you only look at her like merchandise and that you’ve only ever cared about what you could gain. You did lie to her, that much is true.” The prince skewed everything that was said, but… he wasn’t wrong.

“I was going to tell her everything until you acted like a white knight in shining armor, thinking selfishly and brashly. This nautilus shell was supposed to be Yuu’s honest gift from me but you took it from her. Now I finally have the chance to give it back!” Azul traced his thumb over the curves of the shell one last time, kissing it like a token of good luck and raising it in the air before shattering it against the ground. The golden whirl of light that was previously contained had swirled in a flowy current, trailing back to its original owner, Yuu’s singing coming back to her control. The princess beamed when receiving what once was hers.

The Sea Sorcerer didn’t regret what he did. Not for a second. Seeing Yuu finally smile in the midst of this chaos was enough for him to keep pushing forward. With the same voice he yearned for in the beginning, he decided it’d be best for her to keep it, for she was much happier that way.

“Vance–Azul, I don’t care who you are– please don’t doubt the time we spent together!” Yuu’s mouth was covered by Prince Elias hand. The perpetrator peered at the sun and saw that it almost concealed itself by dipping into the ocean. Kissing her would keep her human forever, Prince Elias thought, pulling Yuu’s face closer to his. Sick and tired of being silenced, Yuu had bit down hard on Prince Elias’ finger, earning a painful howl from the man. Quickly shoving herself away from the groom, Yuu and Azul both rushed to each other.

The Sea Sorcerer entangled his fingers in the princess’ hair, pulling her in for a long-awaited embrace, mixtures of relief washing over him when finally feeling her in his arms.

“It’s been you all the time.” Yuu uttered, but not in betrayal or repulsion. Melting in his grasp, she could feel Azul stroke her back tenderly with trembling hands. He had been so afraid of losing her. Sevens, if he were a second off, he would never be able to forgive himself.

“Yuu, I… I wanted to tell you–” Azul whispered ever so softly while gazing into Yuu’s eyes, lulling his eyelids to prepare to sink his lips with hers until saw in the corner of his eye, Prince Elias charging at the both of them with his harpoon. Instantly, Azul pushed Yuu away from him as the prince rammed the foreign object into his chest. The groom chuckled in his victory, only to realize a second later that his harpoon wasn’t piercing through his skin. The sun had finally set and there was an intense amount of light that had emitted from Azul’s coat. The contract between him and Yuu had finally been sealed, done and over.

Prince Elias gasped in disbelief and staggered backward. The harpoon clattered against the floorboards. Azul withdrew the golden contract and it reflected its shimmering hue back to his face, a laugh erupting from his chest.

“You’re too late, Prince Elias!” he clenched the scroll in his hands and for a second felt power-hungry. Transforming into his original octopus-merform, he had sprouted his tentacles and the sky was painted darkly from his influence. Seeing the color in Prince Elias disappear was much too satisfying. Seeing him apprehensive and afraid gave Azul a bit of his confidence back, perhaps even becoming egotistical. He could only imagine the look on other merfolk’s faces once he got to them. Finally, he’d be able to get a taste of revenge…

A taste of…

...

In his peripheral vision, he saw Yuu sprawled on the ground, her former tail returning to her. Lacking energy, she peered back at Azul with hopeful eyes. The look on her face was one that had wanted to trust him. She had her faith in Azul to do the right thing, witnessing him almost losing himself and getting carried away. The Sea Sorcerer had stopped briefly.

What was the point of all of this?

He had dreamed of this very day happening ever since he was young, but it all didn’t seem to matter to him as much as he thought it would. If he kept the contract, wouldn’t it mean that everything Prince Elias had said would be true?

He wanted Yuu to trust him. Only he could nullify the terms and agreements. Only he was capable of ending it all. That way, Yuu wouldn’t be obliged to belong to him, at least not in this cruel and demanding way. As proof of his conviction, Azul ripped the scroll in half with his own hands, feeling shocks of lightning tearing through his body as he defied the natural law of its indestructible nature. He looked down at the scrap piece of paper as it lost its glow, finally crumbling it into a ball and tossing it into the ocean. He didn’t need a contract to be with Yuu. All he needed was to be by her side.

Humiliated, pathetically desperate, and vengeful! These feelings were swelling in the prince’s chest. Why weren’t things going his way?!

It was because it was the first time he’s ever been said no to. He’d gained everything he ever desired, yet that wasn’t enough to satiate his appetite. He could only dote and swoon and fawn on this lady who was withdrawn. It seems that she who held her tongue would get her man. He felt inferior to Azul. He had everything but he couldn’t have her!

“If I can’t have her, then no one can!”

Prince Elias scurried to his weapon in a last-minute attempt to do damage. He directed the long spear-like instrument toward Yuu.

“Say goodbye to your precious little mermaid!” Prince Elias bellowed, pulling the trigger on the harpoon.

Yuu couldn’t run. She can’t possibly dodge this without her legs. Time seemed to slow down for her. This really was it, huh? She shut her eyes and accepted what was about to come.

…

But it never came.

Yuu opened her eyes and gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief. Azul shielded her body, weakly towering over her figure with a harpoon puncturing and piercing through his abdomen. The octopus’ breathing hitched, doing his best to stay calm and composed in hopes to reassure Yuu of this major wound.

“Azul!” Yuu cried out, her hands pressed against his chest. Crimson had splattered from Azul’s lips yet he couldn’t waste another second thinking about his own pain. He picked Yuu up carefully with his tentacles and rushed over to the edge of the boat to keep her from harm’s way.

Prince Elias hollered as he rammed against Azul’s body, attempting to pull out the harpoon so that he could further bleed out, only to be latched by the ankle with a tentacle and plunged into the waters with both of them. Submerging into the sea, Azul’s grip loosened on Yuu and Prince Elias, losing his strength.

Jade and Floyd both eyed how the prince was fighting for air and both cackled mischievously.

“N-No! Get me out of here!” Prince Elias desperately tried to keep his head above the surface of the water before he was dragged further into the abyss.

“This is revenge for our boss.” Jade yanked the human towards him with his tail.

“Aha ha! Let’s get ‘em, Jade!” Floyd wrapped his tail around Elias’ body and squeezed.

“He’s just like bubble wrap.”

“Oopsies! Did I overdo it?”

“No, look. He’s still kicking.”

“Okaaaay! Why don’t we do this last one together?”

“Shock the heart.”

“Bind the heart!”

As Prince Elias met his deserved demise, Azul weakly laid back on the cold ocean floor. Yuu’s eyes had welled up in tears, desperately pushing her hands against the big gaping wound that only continued to overflow with blood.

“No, this can’t be happening! W-Why did you do that, Azul?” Yuu cried, looking at his true form. His hair, a wavy silver tone, his eyes, a dull gray color, and his beauty mark that was placed perfectly on the side of his lip. His handsome face paled, wincing but brought the backside of his hand to graze against her cheek.

“I had to do it. I can’t– I can’t let anything happen to you. I had to–” Azul stammered, incapable of imagining how he’d imagine a world without Yuu. It was a split-second decision and he couldn’t bare the guilt if he didn’t do something.

“Shh… It’s going to be okay, I’ve got you. E-Everything will be okay.” The little mermaid buried her head into the Sea Sorcerer’s chest. Things were not going to be okay. Azul’s timeframe was only shortening by the minute and there was nothing that she could do!

“I-I’m sorry, Yuu. Truly, I am. How embarrassing it is that you have to see me like this… I’m nothing but a silly, lonely little octopus,” Azul tried to make fun of himself, only to cough out an alarming amount of blood.

“I don’t care about any of that!” Yuu held his face between her hands.

“Would an evil Sea Sorcerer really prepare the best things in town for my arrival? Would a selfish man really go through the trouble to teach a naive girl how to walk? Would he smile at me so tenderly after I pull down his hat and completely splash him with water, or hold me as if he’d never get the chance to hold me again after he let go?” Yuu shouted, causing Azul’s eyes to widen in astoundment.

“But… Don’t you feel betrayed when you found out that Vance was never real?”

“I already knew you were Azul Ashengrotto!” the mermaid confessed, causing the octopus to be dumbfounded.

“What…? How could that be?”

“I don’t know anybody else who would call me Angelfish after falling into a lake. Not only that, but your two henchmen stick out like a sore thumb, silly.” The girl sniffed when trying to lighten the mood, rubbing her thumb across Azul’s cheek. He bit his lip, feeling a bit sheepish. I suppose he couldn’t foolproof everything.

“Vance, Azul Ashengrotto, I could see right through you whether you’re an octopus or a human. I don’t believe so strongly in rumors and I believe that you’re capable of having a change of heart. Even then, I knew that the only one I could love is you! It will always be you, no matter what.” Yuu pressed her forehead against his own affectionately.

Ah.

Ahh…

Azul felt his lip quiver, a lump becoming stuck in his throat and his tears became too much to contain. All his life, he wanted someone who can truly accept him for who he was. How was it that she was able to achieve all of this? He’s been able to see a more vibrant world with her by her side, and he thought he had been the one to introduce her to the unknown of the world. He felt too blessed. He really was.

“Above all, you have the most beautiful soul, Angelfish.” The octopus momentarily forgot his injury, twinging at the subtle movements he made to hold Yuu closer to him. His breathing came to a slow pace as he wishfully looked into her eyes.

“Could you… s-sing for me one last time? I couldn’t get enough of your voice the day you left.” He weaved his fingers within her hair as Yuu fought to not cry completely. She sniffed, seeing that this was his final wish. He looked far, far, too pale at this point, but he put every last drop of his strength into enduring the urge to slumber eternally.

“I don’t know when, I don’t know how

But I know something’s starting right now…

Watch and you’ll see, someday I’ll be…

Part of your world.”

She leaned in, very carefully. Her beating heart pressed against his that had slowed to a calm. She could no longer feel the tears that brimmed her eyes, or the bitterly cold atmosphere of the ocean because all she could feel was Azul, everywhere, filling everything she had ever thought and believed in… for a kiss.

A kiss of true love.

The silence was loud. Yuu had shut her eyes and gradually strayed from his lips, sinking her head into the crook of his neck.

“I love you.”

Yuu broke into a sob, gripping Azul’s limp and unresponsive hand, only stopping to realize that the hand she clasped onto had squeezed back. She opened her eyes, seeing that there was light emitting from the hole that was gaping through Azul’s abdomen. It was as if the clocks reversed in the Sea Sorcerer’s body, the fates’ design changing… The reformation of skin and bone had melted and stitched itself back together like magic, completely vanishing. Azul’s life-threatening injury was no longer present.

Yuu was bewildered at what had just happened. How was this possible? What could this mean? As if she had gone through this very same scenario as before, the mermaid pushed her head next to Azul’s chest, hearing his heartbeat’s rhythmic pace matching her very own.

“I surrendered my heart, yet you give me so much life, darling,” Yuu felt her hand further entwine with the man that lay beneath her. She looked up, smiling from ear to ear, causing Azul to be awestruck, and welcomed her warmth in his arms once more. Words could not describe how fortunate Yuu felt. All of the time that they spent together flashed in her memory once more, her relief washing over her and granting her peace.

“Azul!” Yuu exclaimed, regaining all of her hope. She embraced him tightly as if she would never get the chance to hold him again. Azul was given the strength that he needed, along with the resolve to solidify what he wanted to do. It’s never been clearer than before. Everything he did, he wanted to do it all for her. He would never let go of her again. There was no more Prince Elias, contract, or guilt in his way. Every opportunity was now his.

“Finally, I get to do this.” The Sea Sorcerer gently brought Yuu’s face near his own. Before they’ve made contact, he pauses for a moment more.

“May I?” Azul shyly asked for permission, not wanting to be rude or force the girl after the wedding fiasco incident. This caused Yuu to laugh at his polite gesture.

“Of course!” she answered, feeling the weight of Azul’s lips finally placed on hers, the both of them deeply intertwined with each other. His soul could only be at rest with hers.

“I’ve finished calculating our sales figures for today. Now, do we have a deal, Sea King?” Azul questioned, peering into the eyes of the King of Atlantica, determined for the man to let him win this negotiation.

“I consider myself a reasonable merman. I’ll let you know that I’ve set certain rules and I expect those rules to be obeyed, Azul…” The almighty and powerful monarch had set his trident to strike against the ground. Grim yelped and quickly swam behind his towering figure. Sitting down on his throne, he rested the trident that he held and looked back at the Sea Sorcerer.

“Oh… Then I guess there’s just one problem left.” The Sea King sighed.

Grim gulped, peeking his head from the side, “and what’s that, your Majesty?”

“How much I’m going to miss her.” The Sea King had ushered Azul to come forward, which the octopus had cautiously done. The king had held out his hand for a handshake, which Azul took, only to be pulled in for a strong hug by Yuu’s father.

“Thank you, sir. I’ll always ensure your daughter’s happiness.” Azul was able to relax, no longer stressed about having to get the Sea King’s blessing. He had come up with all sorts of possible scenarios of conversation in his head for this very moment, meticulously crafting specific phrases for convincing the king. Fortunately for him, it wasn’t too difficult to do, of course with the little mermaid showing her adoration for the Sea Sorcerer after everything that happened.

“Azull~! Where are you?” Yuu’s voice echoed in the halls of the castle.

Azul withdrew from the embrace, coughing nervously in his fist before bowing to him before he made his leave. He swam as quickly as he could with his eight tentacles to the little mermaid who was calling for him.

“Angelfish! I’m here. There’s a place where I’ve been meaning to take you, my newly opened restaurant called the Mostro Lounge.” Azul swam to Yuu and greeted the princess with a kiss on her hand. She beamed at the gesture and he could only look forward to the future with her. Behind his back, he held a box that was decorated with the seashell she had gifted Azul. Inside was a beautiful engagement ring to promise their futures together.

Villains too, also deserve their happily ever after.

Epilogue: It had turned out that Yuu’s signature spell, “Part of Your World” had healing properties whenever she sang! Grim was too much of a slow swimmer to get the Sea King to break up the wedding in time (definitely not because I wanted the finale to mostly focus on Yuu and Azul). Floyd and Jade were just playing with Prince Elias a bit and the humans heard about how he forced a mute girl to try to marry him. Yuu and Azul had to do a lot of explaining to the Sea King about the situation and slowly over time, the Sea King came to accept Azul to court his daughter. Grim at first was against the two of them getting together but after Azul offered the lifetime supply of canned tuna, he was more than happy for him to be welcomed into the family. Instead of having clients fall into debt forever, Azul decided to open up the Mostro Lounge which was available for both the human world and the merpeople world. The Sea Sorcerer was able to improve his reputation in Atlantica bit by bit, receiving some criticism from those who still had hard feelings against him, but Yuu was able to help him realize that he shouldn’t hold onto those grudges.

Author’s Note: I had a lot of fun writing this! It came out to be longer than I thought, so I thought it would be best to split the story up into three parts so that it’s easier for some people to read. I absolutely adore watching The Little Mermaid and I always wanted to read what would happen if Azul and Yuu were to follow the general plot of the movie. I wish for as many people to read this because I do think there will be someone out there who may really like this story for our favorite Azul Ashengrotto. I hope everyone has a happy new year! :))

Masks Up, Fake Out

Brichester Polo Center, Brichester, Pierreland

Druzar U-18 Polo Team Member: You came home late last night there Hampton. You end up scoring? Theodore: Oh for sure! You know how it is with the ladies Elias. They can’t resist trying to change a Druzarian. Druzar U-18 Polo Team Member: You end up picking up that one chick right? The one with the insane tatt?

Theodore: Hell yeah. You know how it is gents, flash a smile, say the right words and suddenly you find out where that tatt travels and lemme just say, I would not mind tending to those roses again. She was insanely good. Vance was right about these Pierrelanders, fucking freaks in the sheets. Druzar U-18 Polo Team Member: Shame we lost to them though. You gonna try and get some face time with the Crown Prince? Theodore[snorts]: My father would kill me if I didn’t. See you lot back at the hotel?

Theodore: Excuse me Miss. Do you happen to know where the Crown Prince is? Maria Aisha [dryly]: He’s upstairs on the terrace. Though, you’re probably going to be frisked by their security. Theodore: Okay…sounds normal? You know anything about-- Maria Aisha: Look…I gotta go.

Theodore: Minerva! It’s Theo! I’m sorry about this morning but I was wondering — Maria Aisha: Why wanting to know if you could pick me up again? Think you can just flash a smile and say some words and I’ll just fall in your bed?

Theodore: You weren’t meant to hear that- Maria Aisha: Really? Cause you were bragging about your conquests pretty loudly a couple minutes ago. Are girls in Druzar really so blind as to find guys like you attractive? Theodore: You weren’t saying that last night. Maria Aisha: Last night you is completely different than the you that’s standing here. Frankly, I don’t know if he’s fucking real.

Theodore: You know how guys are. We say stupid shit. Maria Aisha: Really? Cause the guys I know at least have the decency to brag about their sexual escapades in private, if they do at all. And…oh yeah, can use the fucking brain attached to their neck. Theodore: Watcher, you’re all the fucking same aren’t you? From Axoiria to Trenton, you all think—

Maria Aisha: That we’re worth something? That we should give a damn about ourselves? Then yes. Maybe there’s hope for Druzarian Women’s Rights after all. Theodore: Our women are perfectly liberated thank you very much. I do have a sister. Maria Aisha: Really? Liberated women? Tell me Theo do you feel comfortable with your sister having to survive in a world where your King is such a rampant misogynist that he could change out wives like he does his underwear.

Maria Aisha: I thought you were different Theo. But you’re living up to Druzar reputation. Theodore: Minerva. Please. Give me another chance— Maria Aisha: To be what? Some toy? A notch in your belt? No fucking thanks. Maybe you do deserve to be under your dad's foot for a bit longer. Let that prefontal cortex mature a bit more.

Theodore: Fuck you.

Maria Aisha: You already did. Have a safe flight back to Druzar.

Theodore: You’ll miss me. Maria Aisha: Yeah, I miss the guy from last night. If that guy decides to be permanent ….lemme know.

Bodyguard: Ma'am...shall I go get the car? Maria Aisha: No...my brother is letting me use his. We'll meet back up at Princess Magdalena's. Bodyguard: Ma'am, the Crown Prince said no one is to-

Maria Aisha: I think I'm good without security for a while too. Don't worry. Bodyguard [mumbling]: They do not pay me enough...

The new Hopper

I have yet to talk about Finney which is wild because despite the name, this is more than a Vance Hopper fic.

So here we go.

So in this fic Finney Blake and Steve Harrington are the same person.

Finney still kills the Grabber in this.

He was healing with the other basement boys, yes all lived in this fic, and Gwenny.

And was starting to truly feel like things would be okay.

... When his dad lost custody over him and Gwen.

Suzie's parents were able to take Gwen but try as they might they were unable to take Finney too.

His aunt and uncle, John and Diane Harrington got custody over him.

They didn't want Gwen because two children was too much work.

And after hearing the stuff about her dreams deemed her a freak.

Finney was taken from Denver, from his sister and his best friends kicking and screaming.

His aunt and uncle made it clear that Finney Elias Blake would need to cease to exist.

Renaming him Steve John Harrington.

And having little contact with his real family and still dealing with everything alone.... Finney, now Steve did change.

Steve Harrington was everything Finney Blake wasn't.

He was strong.

He was brave.

He could talk to and get the girl.

He was perfect.

Finney was a victim.

Finney was a broken kid from an even more broken home.

Finney flinched when the phone rang and hid letters under his bed he'd send out and receive in secret.

He talked about his friends, the little he saw of his aunt and uncle... He never talked about himself.

Because who was he even anymore.

But Finney's life got a lot more complicated when a demogorgon burst through the Byers living room.

And than he met Dustin and the kids.

Steve Harrington stopped being perfection.

He realised just how much of a bully he'd become.

How lost he'd become in this new life.

Of all the hurt and pain he'd taken in and taken out on others who didn't deserve it.

And he knew he had to change.

Because whether Finney had wanted it or not, Finney was Steve.

And at the end of the day Steve Harrington was just as broken as Finney Blake.

So who cared how he acted.

He grew to care for these kids, these dumbass, nerdy, always trying to get themselves killed kids.

Who reminded him so much of the others... Of himself that it hurt.

He killed monsters.

He became the babysitter of the apocalypse.

He used himself as a sheild to save others.

And thought with a bittersweet smile maybe Finney and Steve weren't that different at all.

Not that he would tell anyone.... Not until Robin.

Who heard him cry out during Russian torture his other name, heard him cry out the names of boys and a girl she'd never heard of.

And simply hugged him in her arms on the floor of that bathroom.

And asked him which name he preferred she used.

To his suprise it was Steve.

He was her Stevie Bee, her friend and fellow munchkin. Her platonic with a capital P soul mate.

And not just for her.

He was Dustin's big brother, he was Jonathan's fellow gossiper.

He was the resident loveable asshole with a nail bat.

Finney had been Steve Harrington a lot longer than he'd been Finney Blake.

And it didn't scare him as much as he thought it would.

Part of him was scared Finney was gone forever.

And than Robin told him that was ridiculous.

And be believed her.

So one day he did something he never did.

He called Denver, he called back home.

The phone rang in Robin Arellano's living room where the rest of the boys were hanging out.

And as easy as that, Finney Blake returned.

Like he never left, and maybe he never did.

He cried hearing their voices again.

Sobbed when they got Gwen over and he heard her voice again.

He sobbed and apologised for leaving.

Like he had any choice in the matter, and while he always sent letters they had lost their life.

Until now.

He also handed Robin the phone to get to know his old friends and sister.

He wasn't suprised when Robin fit in with their group like she'd always been a part of it.

She was as much of his soul mate as they were.

He started messing with bottle rockets.

He watched the sequel to Texas Chainsaw Massacre and listened to both Robin's argue over it.

He kept the hair routine but let his hair stay fluffy and soft.

He never intended to tell the others, because... How do you even go about doing that.

He was afraid they'd hate him.

Question how he'd become the same person as the bullies that used to haunt him.

That would spit on Robin and call him a freak.

Think of him as a liar.

A fake.

Maybe they'd look past all the monster he'd slayed and see the original blood stains on his hands.

And look in disgust.

Robin was here to sooth his fears, she disagreed but supported him either way.

Things might've stayed that way.

Until Gale Hopper sent him a letter.

She was leaving for a family emergency, and didn't want to leave Vance alone.

The fact they had a restraining order against Vance shouldn't have been as funny as it was.

And much as Gale knew the others boys family would take him in, she knew they didn't have the room.

And had asked her brother to let him stay.

Her brother being Cheif Hopper didn't even phase Finney as much as knowing Vance was coming over.

Somehow any fear he had about his two identities coming to life vanished.

Because Vance was coming.

He had run into Family Video, picked Robin up and spun her in the air.

"Vance is coming!"

And she smiled just as bright.

Vance was coming, and nothing else mattered. One of his boys was coming to see him.

It was bizarre how the only true fear Finney had was that Vance wouldn't recognise him.

He seriously considered stealing Jonathan's camera to snap a photo and send it over.

All of that melted away when Vance looked at him.

Same curly blonde hair, a different denim jacket but one that fit him all the same.

And after a second of confusion recognised him.

And smiled.

And sure he would have to explain himself but he was safe.

Because Vance was here. Because Robin was here.

Because even if he was terrified he knew deep down his friends.

All of them would accept him.

Saw Robin and Vance call him his respective names and both fit.

Dustin muddling it together and El calling them secret name buddies.

Saw the smile on Vance's face didn't waver hearing his other name.

And so much would need to be said but for now he was safe.

Finney was safe.

Steve was safe.

And that's all that mattered.

RULES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Rule 8. Disbarment and Disciplinary Action

Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson Opinion on the Majority Ruling (supremecourt.gov):

Hakeem Jeffries Democratic Leader of the House of Representatives https://www.congress.gov/member/hakeem-jeffries/J000294 https://democraticleader.house.gov/contact

Chuck Schumer Democratic Leader of the Senate https://www.congress.gov/member/charles-schumer/S000148 https://www.schumer.senate.gov/contact/message-chuck

Dear Democratic Leader Jeffries,

Respectully,

An American patriot

Dear Democratic Leader Schumer,

My family, loved ones, friends, and I are greatly concerned that Donald J. Trump and all of his MAGA allies, supporters, enablers, donors, and voters have what clearly appear to be genocidal intentions to all American non-Trump supporters and voters whom they call, "traitors, anti-American, enemies from within, very bad people, very dangerous people, racists, radicals, extremists, communists, Marxists, fascists, thugs, liars, sick, ugly, stupid, mindless, thoughtless, brainless, disabled, deranged, criminals, rapists, cheaters, sleazebags, low-lifes, scum, trash, genetically inferior, weak, poison, insects, animals, rats, snakes, and vermin" on a regular basis. As I'm sure that you and all elected Democrat representatives at every level across the United States are aware, Donald J. Trump was not granted permanent immunity from federal enforcement of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment in the SCOTUS ruling for Anderson vs. Trump on March 4, 2024; and the moment Donald J. Trump was declared the President Elect, he was committing the federal crime of attempting to hold office while being an impeached and indicted insurrectionist without first having that insurrectionist disqualification removed by a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress. Donald J. Trump and his MAGA cult appear to intend to not only deport 15 million people, but to also engage in undeniable genocide and ethnic and cultural cleansing against half the population of the United States (using voter registration as a "vermin" purge mechanism). Thankfully, per the Supreme Court's own Berger Test to disqualify judges, Donald J. Trump's MAGA SCOTUS allies can never intervene on any of his legal cases again, so if you would please bring the matter of a two-thirds vote to the Senate for an immediate vote by no later than December 11th, 2024, my fellow Americans and I would greatly appreciate it.

Respectully,

An American patriot
