Update of my Symphony of Sorcery journey: GAAAH OF *COURSE* THEY GAVE RIKU TCHAIKOVSKY. I AM LOSING MY MIND.

Seriously though, guys. This is just me potentially reading far too much into musical intent beyond "hey, we like these pieces and wanted to design a level based off of them" (which is totally valid, but analysis and musical associations with characters is fun!), and here's my disclaimer that these obviously aren't 1:1 comparisons, but giving Beethoven to Sora (the revolutionary kickstarter of the Romantic movement- a fiery, passionate personality, who, mainly prior to his worsening mental/physical health, had many friends. He also struggled with self esteem issues closely related to his musical ability- especially when his deafness encroached upon his craft) (I'm thinking of Sora's devastation of losing his Keyblade in KH1 and Re:Coded, as well as the implied issues I've picked up on regarding his feeling like he isn't good enough in general, and in this game, having seeds planted of doubting the validity of his feelings and experiences.), and giving Tchaikovsky to Riku (Who felt alienated from his homeland from a young age- expressed through his more Westernized musical styles, he was a Romantic-era composer and regarded as very sensitive and closed off. Struggled with being a queer man in 1800's Russia. The works.) (thinking of Riku's "personal experience" line regarding having emotional walls up in the Notre Dame world which occasionally pops back into my head.)

It's just... man. You've gotta love it, y'know?

Anyway, here's some semi-fitting quotes from my little collection:

"I need to believe in myself again, because currently my self-belief is deeply undermined, and it seems to me that my role is finished." - Tchaikovsky, Jan. 28/Feb. 9, 1893 to Modest Tchaikovsky

"Never can I forget the time I passed with you... Continue your friendship towards me, for you shall always find me the same true friend." - Beethoven to Breuning household, Oct. 1, 1797 (iirc, it was supposed to be to this person he tutored in piano and fell in love with but I can't find stuff solidifying that for sure)

"...the beauty of life is that it is made up of alternating joy and sorrow, of the struggle between good and evil, of light and shade; in short, of contrasts within the whole." - Tchaikovsky, Nov. 23/Dec. 5 1877 to close friend and confidant Nadezhda von Meck

^^ This whole letter is just a wonderful read. Discusses concept of an afterlife, quotes I hold near and dear about the importance of music within our lives, etc. ("[Music] is not just a straw in the wind, but a genuine friend, protector and comforter, and it alone makes life worth living." ;_; Gets me every time.)

Continued from here

Lilith wasn't fond of Black, mainly because of their difference in how they do things their own way. But it didn't mean she was going to leave someone like Ingrid to what she had to endure, especially one as beautiful and sexy as her. So, she saved her and brought her to live in her home. And to add things, she now serves her, which she didn't mind at all. Lilith was in her office when the knock came and saw Ingrid walk in with the outfit she had on, which made the vampire/werewolf hybrid woman smile. "Thank you for the coffee," said Lilith as she took it and takes a sip. "Its really good, but I can tell you're in need of a reward. Shall I help you feel better~?" she asked while moving her fingertips to graze along her hips.

"Gaaah!" Ingrid gasped loudly, her thighs quaking as an orgasm nearly came crashing through her body. The pink haired warrior gripping the table as her legs quaked, juices rushing and gushing down her thighs

The mocha skinned beauty took a series of deep hungry breaths as she tried to steady herself, looking deep into Lilith's eyes

"Y... Yes Mistress. Please reward your pet... I need it so bad." She panted in desire

I seriously need to find out what movies you watch/stuff you read in your formative years or who hurt you that you manage to string the most painful sentences possible to articulate in human language and cause this heartwrenching pain on my heart. Forget about yn girl I'M about to have a heart attack.

It's crazy. Like I'm heartbroken and I'm pissed and I'm hopeful and I'm hurt and I want justice for my girl yn. I still don't know if I want them together but I just want her happy because my god does your stuff not wreck me🥲 Your work makes us feel so many things at the same time, I'm just in awe.

I don't even mean this in a mean or rude way but I hate angst and I still stick around like a stubborn tick when it comes to all your stories because your work just is that evocative.

On a personal basis, does writing so much pain not hurt you? I hope this doesn't sound mean omfg but as a reader, consuming a story so painful can do a number on my brain chemistry. I can't imagine how it feels to come up with these scenarios, write them, edit and rewrite them and then continuing the pain?? Group hugs for you and yn. 🥹

Long story short congratulations on being such a wonderful writer SY has ruined me and I will never forget it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I will never recover😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I will still lock tf in for all your work tho🫶🏻

gaaah i can’t recommend a good angsty movie/book/manhwa right now to you bcos nothing’s coming up in my head. but i do have a preference on consuming stuff that has neglect, cheating, unrequited love, and similar themes! and i guess that shows in my writings as well :’) also a lot of my works do stem from personal experiences so there’s that!

i think i’m at a point where writing too much angst has numbed me. but then again, i still cry when i’m writing heavy emotional scenes bcos i rly do get into it 🤧 i’d even listen to the playlist too so it hurts me more. like sy!yn has been screaming for a good ending for sooo long and here i am constantly wrecking her spirit every chapter bcos i enjoy that sting in my heart. it makes me feel more human :)))

(i love angst and i am truly one with pain. i know it’s obvious but i really can’t live without it. and the funny thing is, when i feel like i’m “too happy” with my current relationship, i’d ask my bf to make me sad and upset or pretend to hurt my feelings LMAOOO that’s how crazy i am for angst. i literally crave for it, it’s insane and idk why.)

~Back In The Game~

~Chapter Twenty-Seven~

-Series Masterlist-

What happens when a girl who loves volleyball joins a boys' volleyball club? Does she find love? Will she relive her past or move forward? Join (L/N) (Y/N) on a journey with fun twists and turns.

I don't own Haikyuu or any of the characters.

-Last Time-

“AAAA” Asahi yells, frightened.

“GAAAH!!” Tanka yells worriedly.

“HINATA!!!” You scream, quickly running over to him.

You get to Hinata first, with the others arriving right after.

“Hinata! Are you okay?” You ask worriedly.

“...! OWWWW…” He replies.

“Aha! He lives!” Noya says.

“You okay, bro?” Tanaka asks.

“OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD. Are you okay I’m sorry I’m sorry!!!” Asahi panics.

“It’s his own stupid fault for zoning out like an idiot.” Tsukishima says nonchalantly.

“Tsukishima! Quit!” You scold, earning a “tch” and an eye roll.

“A-Ambulance! C-Call an Ambulance!!” Takeda freaks out.

“Calm down, sensei.” Ukai says.

Hinata begins to sit up, so you help him by telling him to move slowly.

“Oh, uh, it’s okay. I’m fine. Sorry to make you all worry.” Hinata says, rubbing his head.

“You sure? Maybe you should sit out a rally or two…” Daichi says.

“No! I’m fine! I promise!” Hinata says quickly. “I just…didn’t dodge all the way in time. Besides, I’m used to getting hit in the face!” ‘You shouldn’t be though…’ You think sweat dropping. “I’m very sorry!”

“Don’t be.” Suga smiles. Before you can say anything you feel a very familiar dark aura. You and Hinata look at the source, Kageyama. He’s pretty pissed off.

“What’d you think you were doing? Zoning out in the middle of a rally…” Kageyama asks.

“Um! Uh! I, ah!” Hinata tries to respond but he’s too scared.

‘The fact that Kageyama isn’t yelling is not a good thing…’ You think and know that Hinata is thinking the same thing.

“I know what you were thinking.”

“?!”

“You were thinking about how cool the Ace is but that all you’re good at is being a decoy, which is stupid and boring. You were wishing you were as tall and strong as Asahi so you could be an Ace too.”

“Enough Kageyama…” You say but are ignored.

“I…I was not!” Hinata defends but only earns a glare from Kageyama. “O-Okay…so, uh…maybe a little.”

“Once you realized our team had an Ace…aside from all the idolization or whatever…you got jealous.” Kageyama begins. “Quit letting your brain wander off onto stupid crap during a game.”

“...So I got a little jealous. So what?”

“Hinata…” You say softly.

“YOU’RE BIG AND TALL AND SKILLED ALREADY! YOU COULD NEVER UNDERSTAND WHAT IT’S LIKE FOR ME!!”

“Guys. Stop!”

Suddenly the gym doors open. An older man is standing in the doorway.

“Hey! What are you all still doing here? It’s time to close up!” He says. “Hurry and clean up.”

“Excuse me!” Takeda begins. “Could we please at least finish this game first?”

“But it’s awfully late…”

“I’ll take responsibility and supervise everyone!”

“Well…”

“Once we’ve finished, I will do all the final checks and make sure everything is properly locked up.”

You look at Hinata and see he’s sad and embarrassed. You go over to him.

“...Hey…Hinata…” You softly say. He looks at you. “Are you okay?” HE puts on a fake smile.

“Yup! All good!”

“You don’t have to fake it with me.” He looks slightly shocked and drops his “smile.”

“It’s my fault for delaying the game…”

“You can’t blame yourself. You got hit in the head with a volleyball. At least you wanted to continue playing. Others would’ve taken Daichi’s offer of sitting out.”

“But then I had to go and yell at Kageyama for it.”

“What Kageyama did and said was completely uncalled for. You were upset and defending yourself. It was admirable.” This causes Hinata to blush.

“Thanks, (Y/N).”

“You’re welcome. Now…Are you hurting anywhere? Do you have a headache? Dizzy? Nauseous?”

“N-No. I’m okay. I promise.”

“Good.” You lightly punch his shoulder. “Don’t make me worry like that!”

“! I-I’m sorry! I-I didn’t -” Hinata can’t finish his statement because you suddenly hugged him.

“But I’m glad you’re okay.” You say hugging him tighter. This causes Hinata to turn bright red. You stop hugging him just as Takeda closes the gym door.

“Sorry, Sensei. Thanks for that.” Daichi says and Takeda turns around and gives him a thumbs up. “Okay, everyone! Let’s get back to playing!”

The game is about to resume but Kageyama gets Asahi and Takinoue’s attention.

“This rally.. I’m going to set the ball for him.” He says pointing to Hinata. “Please try as hard as you can to block him.” Hinata, Takinoue, and Asahi look at him confusedly. ‘What are you playing at Kageyama?’ You wonder.

“Hey, Hey! You trying to taunt us now?” Takinoue asks, annoyed.

“Yes, sir!” It’s a blatant taunt! I’m sorry for being disrespectful!!” Kageyama replies bowing. This shocks both you and Takinoue.

“Ha! Well aren’t you a gutsy kid! I like that! Okay, Then! We’ll take you up on that!” Takinoue replies.

“Thank you, sir!” Kageyama says before staring at Asahi intently and then walking away.

“What the heck is that rookie thinking? A quick set is effective precisely because you can’t predict it. Telling the other guys it’s coming means he’s gonna run smack into a triple block. And if that happens short stuff doesn’t stand a chance.” Ukai comments.

“...True…” Takeda begins. “If he runs headlong into a block…that may be the case, yes.” He finishes as Ukai looks at him questioningly.

‘Augh! Stupid Kageyama. What’s he doing telling the other team what we’re going to do next? There’s no way I can punch the ball through blockers that tough. He knows that!’ Hinata thinks nervously before looking at Kageyama, whose back is turned, frustrated. 

“Hinata. The way you are right now…you suck. You’re a scrub who’s fast and kinda knows how to jump. That’s it.” Kageyama says darkly.

“...?”

“The Ace is a player who can put the entire team on his back and carry it.” Kageyama continues. “That’s someone you’ll never be.”

“!!” Hinata looks like he’s going to cry.

“Hey, um. Don’t you think…” Asahi begins,

“Yo, man!” Tanaka says.

“BUT!” Kageyama continues again, interrupting Asahi and Tanaka. “As long as you’re with me, you’re the greatest!!” Hinata looks at the setter in shock. “Yeah, Asahi-san’s spikes are super powerful! And yeah, he can go straight through even a triple block!”

“Huh?! Um! N-Not all the time…No, but…” Asahi stutters at KAgeyama’s words.

“Stop acting so modest!” Noya scolds the Ace.

“So what about you? All the times I’ve put the ball up for you… have you ever run into a block? Ever?” Kageyama asks, earning another look of shock from the middle blocker.

The whistle is blown and Shimada serves the ball. Ennoshita receives it as Hinata looks at the other team's blockers and begins getting intimidated.

“Dodge!!” Kageyama yells, pulling Hinata from his thoughts. “It’s not like there’s anything else you can do…you scrub!!”

Hinata runs to the left side of the court with the opponent's blockers following him. He bends his legs and swings his arms back getting ready to jump. ‘That’s right. If we can’t go through…’ Hinata thinks.

“We go around.” He says before jumping back and running to the right side of the court. This surprises Asahi, Takinoue, and Ukai.

‘I hate getting blocked! I hate getting stopped!!’ Hinata thinks as he jumps into the air. ‘If even one blocker gets up in front of me…there’s no way I can beat it the way I am now. I can’t play like the Ace plays. But…! “As long as you’re with me…you’re the greatest!”’ Hinata spikes the ball, surprising everyone, and earns his team a point.

“Yeah, you’re no Ace! But with your speed…your jumps…and my setting…we can take on any blockers out there!” Kageyama declares. “The point the Ace scores by busting through a block…and the point you score by going around them…It’s still a point! Even if you don’t have the fancy “Ace” label you rack up points in games! They pay attention to you, and follow you…and that frees up our other hitters! Including the Ace!! Right?!” Kageyama finishes and whirls his head toward Tanaka. 

“Dwah?! Y-Yeah!” The second year begins. “He’s got a good point, Bro! There’s a huge difference in how well our offense works…depending on whether or not you’ve got your decoy game up and running.”

“Despite all that…do you still hate the part you play on this team?! Do you still think it’s boring and uncool?!” Hinata doesn’t answer. He stands still thinking until he looks at his stinging hand.

“...I don’t…”

“What?”

“I don’t think that!”

“Good!!”

Nishinoya is gaping at the two as Suga chuckles. Hinata looks at Asahi.

“That was a really amazing spike you did.” Asahi compliments the first year.

“!! Thank you!!” Hinata says with a blush.

“Hey, Kageyama…” You say catching his attention. He turns to look at you. “That was sweet. What you did for Hinata.” His eyes widen and a blush creeps to his cheeks. He doesn’t know how to respond. “But…maybe next time…be a bit nicer.” You say tilting your head to the side with a closed-eyed smile that’s a mix of sweet and threatening. Kageyama‘s blush increases so he looks away.

“W-Whatever…” He says.

“Awesome! Now I think you know what to do.” You say as the setter goes to Daichi.

“I’m very sorry for interrupting the game again!!” He apologizes as he bows.

“Um! N-No, it’s okay.” Daichi replies.

“We’re all finished now, so…” Kageyama begins as he stands next to Hinata.

“We’re ready to play!!” The two exclaim together.

Welsh Highland Heritage Railway!

If there’s one thing that unfailingly makes Virgil giddy, it’s a steam train ride

V: “The engineering was world-changing, Gordon”

G: “Ooooh cool retro stuff, reckon we can buy one?”

V: “Gordon! It’s a museum!”

Brains gets on board the steam appreciation train

Scott is more interested in the horse rollercoaster

(gravity train)

“Gaaah this is heavier than I thought, should have brought the exo-suit”

Brains isn’t 100% sure what this does but he’s tempted to flick the switch anyway

Truly living their best lives today

V: “Gordon…”

G: “It’s a PLAY museum, Virgil, I’m playing”

B: “I wonder if we could incorporate some of these into Thunderbird Two…”

All too soon they had to re-board the train home

No, Gordon, you can’t spend all your pocket money on these… err… what on Earth *ARE* they?

Absolute classics, Scott!!!

I've had a bat in my house recently too and I broke a mop (it was a metal mop) getting it out-

Side note : If it wasn't trying to attack you they feel very fluffy.

Also I love the comic I just wanted to say a bat in the house is extremely common, at least in a forest area. Still, nice comic 👍

i love bats but i have such an extreme phobia of them because they tend to be rabies carriers. they’re so cute… and i know that rabies in bats is actually pretty rare (especially in my state) but gaaah i hate that their bites/scrapes can be so unnoticeable. i live in a very forested area so it makes sense why the little guy ended up in the house!

Arcane Characters x reader- when your sick

Summary: How will the arcane characters react when you are sick?

Includes: Ekko, Vi, Caitlyn

a/n: !!Reader is a kind of medic!! and not thaaat sick (just a cold), but its cute

Warnings: no proof, medicine, talking about an amputated leg, fire

Ekko:

You are something like a medic for the firelight

That means you are very important (of course you are)

You help sick people. No matter what age. Children, adults, even your boyfriend. So once you were sick, not only ekko but also everyone else panicked.

The firelights tried not to get huge cuts, burns, and even gunshot wounds on missions, so you could recover in peace.

You were the only one who knew about medicine or how to sew a wound in the right way, you saved many lives so everyone tried to help you. (Even if it was just a cold).

ekko handed over missions to Scar to take care of you. He had learned a few tricks from Vander and Vi when one of them was injured or sick.

He brought you soup or played video games with you in bed

he was hardened to colds so he also lay down with you and tried to get you to fall asleep.... which didn't work so well. The stuffy nose made your head feel weird.

“Did you know that any bookmark worth more than a dollar is a waste of money, because you could just use the dollar?” you asked with your eyes closed when Ekko thought you had finally fallen asleep.

"Gaaah!" he growled annoyed as he threw his pillow on your head. This was now the fourth failed attempt to get you to sleep

"Hey! I'm sick" you grumbled. He stared at you. You stared back. Silence

"are oranges called oranges because they are orange or is orange called orange because oranges are orange ?"

“Y/n! Sleep! Now!”

even if he tries hard to get you to sleep (and you end up falling asleep during a movie), he still tries to make everything perfect.

 You also try to please everyone when they are injured. Hell you even amputated someone's leg right at a battlefield because one of the Firelights almost died. you were afraid yourself

he would also steal something like chocolate for you or would cut you some fruit (such a dear boy)

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

Vi:

vi spoils you like a little child when you are sick.

She does everything for you. 

You want to get a glass of water from the kitchen? Nu uh, she will get it for you!

you would lie in bed all day if it were up to her. You want to eat? She brings you something. You want to reach for the thermometer? She grabs it and takes your temperature.

 You don't actually have to do anything.  Well, almost nothing.

"Cupcake? What is paracetamol? Caitlyn says you should take some when you have a fever," she said as she combed through the many boxes in the cupboard. For being a Medic, you were pretty good with pills and medicine - you had to be.

You stood up and staggered to her, she wanted to object, but you pressed a kiss on her cheek. "I can take care of myself Vi, it's sweet that you do that, but I can go to the bathroom by myself" you giggled at the memory that Vi even wanted to carry you to the bathroom.

"i know.... still I want to do as much for you as I can.... so, what is paracetamol?" "It's a tablet that brings down a fever.... here this is the package."

since then she tries not to be so overcautious. You were right. You could take care of yourself - you are strong.

Still, she tries to take most of it off your hands. You had patched her up when she came home with bloody fists and a swollen cheek too.

"I love you, sweetie." you whispered as Vi helped you change the cold washcloth on your forehead

She briefly stopped what she was doing. Then a smile crept onto her face. She quickly leaned down to you and pressed a small kiss on your lips 

"Vi! You're getting sick!!" She falls on top of you. "I don´t care"  she murmured. 

You sighed. 

“I love you too, cupcake.”

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

Caitlyn:

I think she would be a little sad? I’ll explain

She would be sad to see you suffering, staring out the window- you longed to go outside but are too exhausted to get up.

She would try to visit you more often or bring you to her. 

After her shift she would come straight to you (if you were with her she would tell some servant to bring you some soup) 

if you were at your house she would either bring you one or try to cook one herself, most of the time however, the first option. 

You don't let her in your kitchen anymore as she almost set the whole house on fire once...you still make fun of her...(she doesn't say anything because she likes your laughter)

she would ask around, since she hadn't gotten sick that often, what was the best thing to do when you had a fever, what to eat and what not to blah blah blah.

she even borrowed books from the library

At the end of the day she could tell you all about Vitamines and meds as if you didn't already know it.

ahem?????

who was the medic here again?

she brought you tangerines and apples, pears and also tea. 

well she did her job very well in any case 

after you got better she got sick and now you could take care of her

Whale Weekly Day 91

Chapter 134: The Chase – Second Day

We’ve reached the end of the road! It’s been a pleasure!

“Whalers are so brilliant and persistent”

The teamwork is impressive even if you can tell it’s a bad idea

It’s actually really unsettling how Ishmael set up how predictable a whale’s movements are only to have Moby Dick completely subvert that. If the whale represents fate, this is clearly showing that you can expect life to take you one way only for it to do a complete 180 and screw everything up

Almost got him!

Nope. sSo close.

And then everyone got terrible injuries and Ahab lost his prosthetic. And we’re still trying.

Ahab. You cannot stand. It’s time to stop.

Our first casualty :( RIP Fedallah

Starbuck is talking sense. It’s about time someone told Ahab he needs to stop but alas. It’s too late.

Chapter 135: The Chase - Third Day

“Ahab never thinks; he only feels, feels, feels” you don’t say

“he’s chasing me now; not I, him – that’s bad” UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE CENTURY

Starbuck: “I may have fucked up”

And yet, here we are

Wait is Ahab just now realizing some of the boats got smashed yesterday

Obsession is a hell of a drug

“Their eyes fastened; Starbuck’s tears the glue” Awwww I love that line. I’m so distressed.

The sharks can only be a good sign right?

“Hemp only can kill me” Tempting fate much

Oh god the description of Fedallah’s body dragged by the whale, gaaah

“Will ye not save my ship?” YOU COULD HAVE SAVD THE SHIP THREE DAYS AGO AND YES I KNOW THAT”S THE TRAGEDY OF IT ALL BUT IT STILL HAS ME TEARING MY HAIR OUT

I am in pain

We’ve spent two years with these characters and now they’re all dropping dead I might actually cry

And one last fruitless “Ahab please chill” for good measure.

The fact that after all that, the last harpoon misses, is gut-wrenching

That poor bird is just the icing on the cake

“And the great shroud of the sea rolled on as it rolled five thousand years ago” WOW. What a closing line for that scene. No matter what tragedy befalls us, the world keeps turning, callous and uncaring about our insignificant little lives

Really makes you realize how small we all are

Epilogue

Awww Ishmael

Survived by the sheer dumb luck of floating into the vortex as it ended

And floating on his husband’s coffin :( Poor thing

The fact that it was that ship, again, just twists the knife that little bit more.

Okay, I can’t say Moby Dick was my favorite book I’ve ever read, but I’m really glad I finally got around to reading it! Thanks to everyone who organized this!

[ultraericthered]

This is an online dynamic I've noticed:

Basic Western anime fan/reviewer: Gaaah, Love Live! Nijigasaki is so bad! I hate it! It's got no heart or soul, just an empty void at its core! It's a dull, flavorless cashgrab product and complete waste of time! This is an insult to Love Live!, so why should anyone watch it?

Female fans, Gacha Game players, Harem Anime enjoyers and Japanese yuri shippers:

Mind you, I'm a basic western anime fan who finds the first season of this show from 2020 to epitomize subpar quality and mediocrity, with the second season + OVA shifting from average and above average with some actual good stuff in there (basically like Revenge of the Sith following Attack of the Clones), and Nijiyon Animation is actually really great for what it is. I've no strong attachment to Niji stuff and characters compared to u's and Aqours and their shows, and even Liella! got a much better start, but I'm fond enough of the cast to appreciate what they bring to the franchise and can deal with their show just fine. Here's hoping the Conclusion trilogy turns out well.

Rooftop Meeting

Plot: Min makes an unlikely friend when she spends the night stargazing on the rooftop of her apartment building.

Notes: Mostly silly fluff, Min says hell (I'm sorry Mikey xD), The ULTIMATE BESTIE DUO, Bradford mention cause he sucks, Mikey has a new human bestie now-

Trigger warning: Mentions of food (let me know if I need to add anything-)

Word count: 1511 words (a short one this time gaaah, it's been a while)

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

The rooftops of New York’s apartment buildings were probably not the safest places to be sitting around late at night but it wasn’t as if Min had anyone at home to really be around. She may as well take this time to do some stargazing…and that was exactly what she did.

Sitting on the rooftop of the apartment building she and her brother lived at, sitting towards the edge of the roof but not so much that she could fall. Telescope in hand, she tried to see if she could find some stars….though that was rare..

Especially in New York..

She sighed as she moved the telescope away from her eye after a while, rubbing her eyes sleepily as she thought to herself, the sounds of the city were everywhere, the sound of cars still driving around at night, car alarms, she could even hear some screaming… but that was normal when you live in the city.

Though she started to hear something strange….skateboard wheels?…and they were getting louder and louder and… closer??? 

Before she could even react or move out of the way, she heard an excitable yell that…devolved into a scream-

“BOOYAKASHAAA, WHA- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!-”

And then a crash and thud right behind her, she could have sworn she even saw something fly forward and away as someone…crashed behind her. A skateboard soon rolled towards her as she scrambled to stand up.

“What the heck!? Are you okay!? How the hell did you get up-"

She walked over, squinting her eyes as she tried to see who it was. Who would be so dumb and reckless as to ride a skateboard and jump around on rooftops!?! She heard the guy groan as she approached him, it sounds like a guy but….the shape of him looks so…bulky? Weird..

Min froze when the figure groaned in what seemed to be pain and realization as he seemed upset about something, his head whipping up for a second as he scrambled around a little…

That’s when she noticed that he..was definitely not human-

She was going to say something there was a GIANT TURTLE in front of her, she gripped her telescope in her hands a bit defensively as she tried to hold it up to strike, until..

"AAWWWW MY PIZZAAA!!..."

The giant turtle was talking….

HE WAS TALKING!??! 

Min thought to herself as she seemed to be in a panic, trying to figure out what to do as the giant turtle…boy? Seemed to roll and flop on his back in a frustrated groan. She was able to get a good look at him, definitely a turtle…she can see a shell and everything…but also, an orange mask around his eyes and.. Were those?…

"Y...you're....a giant...talking turtle....with......are those nunchucks!?", Min yelped as she held her telescope close to her, a giant talking turtle and he was armed?!

She tried to make sure she wasn’t distracted…just in case the giant turtle decides to do something…attack maybe? But he just seemed to be..laying down there. He seemed really upset.

"Huh? Oh...yeah.... aww man! My pizza's gonee...", He grumbled, an almost pouty look on his seemingly freckled light green face as he let out an upset whine as he continued to lay on the roof.

"Pizza?..."

"....it fell off the building when I tripped.."

She blinked as he explained, that explains the thing that seemed to be flying off earlier..must have been the pizza box that he dropped. She thought for a moment as she sat down quietly, he seemed…harmless.

It wouldn’t hurt to do something..

She was a little suspicious, eyeing the turtle for a moment before taking out her phone. "I can...order you another one...if you want?", She offered, there was probably no harm in it.

Suddenly, the turtle jumped up excitedly, sitting up as his baby blue eyes seemed to shine at the idea, "REALLY?!??!", He exclaimed, rocking back and forth with excitement before he froze a little as his eyes squinted in suspicion as he seemed to move back the tiniest bit.

"This isn't some sort of trick is it?"

Min couldn’t help but roll her chocolate brown eyes as she thought to herself quietly, she doesn’t blame the turtle for being suspicious, she was suspicious too. 

".....Listen, turtle guy, if I was gonna trick you or trap you...I would have done that like... as soon as you fell on your face. Now what kind of pizza do you want?", She asked, looking as the smile seemed to reappear on his face.

“Pepperoni!! Oh! And make it a large!”, He said excitedly as he seemed to grin more and more, he must really like pizza.

“That’s a lot of pizza for a single…talking turtle.”, She said with a laugh as she ordered the pizza for him, looking at the turtle now that she got an even better look at him, he looks…humanoid to an extent too which somehow makes it less scary.

“My name’s Mikey! And it’s not just for me. Pizza’s for my bros too!”

She turned to look at him again as she seemed even more curious by that, “...You have brothers?..”, That question made Mikey panic slightly, gah he wasn’t supposed to say that.

“I uh…well uh…gah! I…No?”

Min raised an eyebrow at him for that answer.

“Okay, yeah, I do. I’m not supposed to tell you about my bros…..and I’m not supposed to be seen..”, Mikey seemed to mumble as he rubbed the back of his head, he laughed nervously.

“Well, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone that I saw you.”

“Really?”, He asked, seeming…confused but with a suspicious tone in his voice.

“Yeah, sure. Your secret is safe with me, Mikey right?”, Min asked as she smiled a little when Mikey nodded, seeming excited by this, “Yeah! What about you? What’s your name, dudette?”

“Min, Min Xiuying..”

“That’s a cool name!”, Mikey exclaimed, smiling a little more as Min couldn’t help but smile back as it turned into a grin when she asked, “Sooooo…. Do you always skateboard on rooftops and crash in front of people?”

“Oh dudette! All the time! My bros and I do it for patrol all the time!” 

“Patrol?...”, She tilted her head, confused as to what she meant as Mikey seemed to light up even more, beginning to excitedly ramble about himself and his brothers, how they turned into these giant mutated turtles, how they’re actually trained ninjas and how they’re out at nights fighting evil alien robots…

Time almost stopped as Min listened to Mikey’s stories about his life, his brothers, he has three of them, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello…and they apparently have a dad too! Master Splinter (who is apparently a giant mutant rat-), he called him, the one who taught them all the skills.

Soon they both heard a knock at the door to the stairway, Min signaled for Mikey to hide as she opened the door to take the pizza from the pizza guy, leaving him a tip as she closed the door after.

“Time moves fast… Here’s your pizza.”, She said as she smiled a little, though it seemed a little strained. She enjoyed his company…it’s been a long while since she had an actual friend..but they just met and she’s just helping him.

“Cool! Thanks dudette!”, Mikey exclaimed, standing up to take the pizza as he smiled excitedly when he saw the pizza before looking up at her for a moment, “Hey, you wanna be my friend?”, He asked suddenly, smile still wide.

“What?...Really?..”, She asked, surprised as she looked at the turtle, oddly enough, she was the slightest bit taller than him.

“Yeah! You seem really cool! Definitely cooler than Bradford…”, He grumbled, seeming a little upset about that Bradford guy for a second before smiling back at Min, “You’re definitely cooler than him! You even got pizza for me and my bros!”

“Y..yeah, we can be friends!”

“Cool! I gotta go, Leo’s gonna freak if I’m gone any longer than I already am! Plus, the dudes are gonna be soooo hungry! But we can hang tomorrow night if you want!”, Mikey said as he grabbed his board, tucking it under his other arm as he held both pizzas in his hands again, no more skateboarding for the night. He can’t drop another pizza.

“Yeah, let’s hang out tomorrow, you can tell me more about all your ninja adventures.”, Min said as she gently nudged Mikey’s arm, making sure not to push him so much that he drops the pizza again.

“Yeah!!! See ya tomorrow, Min!”, Mikey said before running on the rooftop, jumping to the other building’s roof as he seemed to be going really fast, must be those ninjutsu skills that he has been training so well at.

Min smiled a little as she took a breath, she couldn’t help the big grin on her face. She has a friend, an actual real friend. 

She can definitely say, she has the coolest friend ever.

Sunflower Live - Chapter 6

Park

<The next day, afternoon>

Subaru: Heeey, you guys! Yaho, yaho〜☆

Subaru: I thought I was the most fired up, but you’re all already here! Are you guys that excited about this?

Subaru: Me too! I couldn’t sleep at all last night because of how excited I was〜! I’m super high-strung right now, because I pulled an all-nighter…♪

Hokuto: You’re always high-strung. Fumu… I see you brought Daikichi with you today.

Subaru: Yup! I’m generally the one in charge of walking him during the summer holidays.

Subaru: I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve barely been able to spend any time with him〜 so I’ve gotta replenish my supply of Daikichi essence!

Hokuto: Fufu. He’s so rotund and cute.

Subaru: You can pet him if you want! He loves being petted!

Subaru: I’d pet him too if I could, but I’ve got my hands full right now.

Hokuto: Were you walking Daikichi without a leash? What if he charges at someone and they get hurt?

Hokuto: Though, I’m sure Daikichi would never do that. Still, keeping your dog on a leash is the correct thing to do as an owner.

Subaru: I only just got here. Why are you lecturing me already〜? Plus, I wasn’t walking him without a leash. I just took his leash off when we got to the park.

Subaru: This park functions as a dog park too, so it’s allowed to let your dog roam free.

Hokuto: Hmm. Is that so? I didn’t know that. Sorry for berating you, then.

Subaru: No worries! By the way, I brought ramune for all of us, so go ahead and have one! They were selling them near the park!

Subaru: Oh, but I want the marbles back☆

Hokuto: Pff, so you bought ramune because you wanted the marbles in the bottles? That’s typical.

Subaru: Of course! The marbles are so pretty and sparkly after all!

Subaru: But that’s not the only reason. I thought you guys might be thirsty, because it’s so hot outside. Heheh, aren’t I considerate?♪

Makoto: Yeah, I actually was thirsty, so this is just what I needed〜♪

Makoto: ...Gaaah!? The soda sprayed everywhere〜!

Subaru: Ahaha, that’s so funny! That’s the kind of line people only say in manga!

Hokuto: Don’t laugh, Akehoshi.

Hokuto: ...Still, Yuuki, you got it all over your face. That’ll probably be really sticky, so you should go wash your face at that faucet over there. You can borrow my handkerchief if you want.

Makoto: R-Right. Thanks. Urgh, even my glasses are all sticky. …Uhm, whereabouts is that faucet supposed to be?

Mao: Here, take my hand and I’ll lead you over to it.

Makoto: Thank you〜 Please lead the way, Isara-kun.

Subaru: Hmmm? I wonder why the contents of the bottle burst out like that, though.

Hokuto: When you saw us a moment ago, you started sprinting, remember? Maybe the bottles got all shaken up.

Subaru: Oh. That might be the reason. Now I feel bad for doing that to Ukki. I gotta apologize to him once he gets back.

Hokuto: You should. …There he is, now.

Makoto: I’m back〜 Hidaka-kun, thanks for lending me your handkerchief. I’ll wash it before giving it back, so I’ll take it with me for now.

Subaru: Ukki〜 I’m sorry!

Subaru: I should’ve made sure not to shake the bottles.

Makoto: It’s alright, don’t worry about it. Washing my face with cold water actually felt pretty refreshing.

Subaru: Huh, so the water at the park is cold? I worked up a sweat while walking Daikichi, so maybe I’ll go wash my face too.

Makoto: In that case, do you want to borrow this towel? It’s a neck towel, so it’s pretty long. You can wipe your face with it while it’s hanging around your neck♪

Subaru: Gimme, gimme! But why did you borrow Hokke’s handkerchief if you had that towel with you?

Makoto: Ahaha, well I couldn’t see where it was, because there was ramune in my eyes. By the way, I brought this towel because I thought it might be a good option for possible merchandise.

Mao: Oh, right. You and Subaru were in charge of thinking of merch ideas.

Mao: Towels are utility items and you often see them being sold at venues. I think it’s a good idea.

Makoto: I’m also thinking we should sell T-shirts.

Makoto: I learned from someone that towels and T-shirts are the typical items that are sold at summer festivals. I also obtained a list of possible fabrics from the prospective supplier.

Mao: Huh? Someone gave you advice?

Makoto: Yeah. I happened to run into Izumi-san…

Makoto: Oh, but it’s not like he did anything to me, so don’t worry. He gave me advice on various topics, so he was a great help, actually.

Makoto: Anyway, what do we think? I did some checking and it seems like T-shirts are usually the things being sold during summer festivals. I think it’s a good idea. Don’t you?

Hokuto: I agree. I think they’re both good ideas. Shall we decide on selling T-shirts and towels at our booth?

Subaru: Wait a minute! I put thought into this too, so hear me out〜!

Hokuto: Fumu… I was the one who suggested you think about it in the first place, so it’s only fair. Akehoshi, tell us about your ideas.

Subaru: Alright! How about we sell summer caps? They’re good protection against the sun, and they’re useful on a daily basis, right?

Mao: That might be a good one. Hats can help prevent heatstroke, and they’re useful in daily life just like towels and T-shirts are.

Hokuto: T-shirts, towels and caps, huh… They’re all good ideas, but if we consider the procurement costs, we can realistically only sell two types of products.

Makoto: Hmm〜 We might be able to keep the costs down when it comes to the T-shirts, though.

Makoto: I saw this technique on the internet called screen printing. As long as you have the proper supplies, you can apply custom prints to T-shirts with that technique.

Makoto: It’ll take some work, but we’d only have to pay for the supplies for the T-shirts that way.

Subaru: I wanna try, I wanna try! Making custom T-shirts with you guys sounds like so much fun…☆

Hokuto: Shall we try making the T-shirts ourselves? That would mean we can order the hats and towels from a professional supplier.

Hokuto: If we can make our own T-shirts, we might be able to make some other things that don’t cost a lot to make, and sell those too.

Subaru: That sounds great! I second that!

Mao: I don’t have any objections, either. If we’re gonna be doing this, let’s make some quality stuff♪

Makoto: But what kind of stuff do you propose we make?

Mao: Hmm〜 Maybe something that matches the vibe of the Sunflower Live?

Subaru: The Sunflower Live will be held at the coast, so why don’t we head to the beach? The weather’s great and there’s a breeze too, so I bet being at the beach will feel super nice right now!

Hokuto: Right… If we go to the beach, we might be able to get a feel for what would be suitable. No time like the present. Let’s head to the beach, everyone.

🎫 DO IT!

OKAY! :D (WHEW THOUGHT THIS VANISHED. TUMBLR JUST DECIDED TO PUT THIS AT THE BOTTOM OF MY DRAFTS HELLO!?)

This will be a good distraction for me. It's time to gush about my darling fiancé hehe (gaaah he's so damn cuuuute!! *Wiggles*)

As you all know, I love Ben with my entire heart and soul. He is actually my everything. When I mean everything I mean everything

Ben is my heart, my soul, my home, my stars, my moon, the cool night breeze that brushes across my face and tussles my hair, my sunlight, my warmth, my strength, the beating of my heart, the light in my dark (ironic I know), he is everything...

He means so much to me and it's hard to believe I lived life without him because now there is not a day that goes by, a second where I'm not thinking about him. I love him with everything that I am and I pray to high heavens that I never lose him. To experience such a heartbreak after finding a love so strong and passionate would destroy everything that I am.

I feel so connected with him and I've grown so attached to him that not being able to shout my love no matter how silly it seems at times would feel like I'm suffocating.

I wake up smiling, I wake up excited for the day ahead of me, it's been a very long time since I've genuinely smiled and Ben was the one to make it all happen. He made me refall in love with life. 💜

Ben can be so incredibly handsome and cute (ahem and sexy) sometimes it makes me want to scream! When he is so serious it gives me time to admire his features, his perfect lips, adorable nose and gorgeous, dazzling eyes... Many times while admire him I've thought about kissing every scar, every beauty mark and blemish just to show him how much I care for him~

When he's cute..wow! He's cute! He gets these big puppy dog like eyes they're really big and his eyebrows raise and his mouth drops open a little bit. Whenever he's taken off guard it's just the cutest! I cannot stop myself, I'm usually grinning ear to ear or giggling to myself! Yes I can in fact feel the rising heat in my cheeks!

I've mentioned it several times and right now is no different, I absolutely love how this man fights. I can feel the intimidation and his strength. He can look very elegant and even when he takes risks while fighting it really amazes me. I am in awe of everything.

Okay this more of a gush of his weapon rn but I LOVE his cross lightsaber. It crackles and hums and it's incredibly satisfying to hear! I don't know why my brain picked it, even before Ben became so much to me I've always loved his lightsaber for not only it's unique look but the sound it makes!

I'm short; I love Ben with every ounce of my soul. He means the universe to me and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him~
