The Parallels Between Korsica and Roquefort

So, when I was setting up my plans for Fly-High Rush, things were a bit one-sided in terms of group numbers, so instead of keeping Korsica the same, I decided to swap her and Roquefort. I figured they were similar enough to make a switch work.

But then I realized they were... really similar. Like, very, very similar. The comparisons just kept coming and they didn't stop.

So here we are. Welcome to my Ted Talk.

1. WIND ATTACKS:

Let's get one of the bigger comparison out of the way: both of them fight with wind. Korsica uses it all the time, from turning off generators to putting out fires to kicking Chai's ass. Then there's Roquefort, who throws out little tornadoes during his fight and tries to send Chai flying with his Big Bad Wolf attack several times. That move also requires Korsica specifically to hold it back with her own wind gust. Yeah, not much to say here.

2. Connection to a Vandelay Sibling:

See, this is the point that really got the gears turning in my head. Both of them have a close connection to a Vandelay sibling who saved their lives: Roquefort to Kale, and Korsica to Peppermint.

"I was on my deathbed when Kale saved me. I was smart, but weak. He fixed that." - Roquefort

"Your wound was really bad...We didn't have a choice." - Peppermint "You... saved my life." - Korsica

Not to say Peppermint saved Korsica single-handedly (shout out to Mac and CNMN, the true mvps), but then again, I doubt Kale painstakingly upgraded Roquefort's body piece by piece on his own, so my point still stands. Both Vandelay siblings had a hand in saving their lives respectively, and because of that, you can see the bonds formed between these two duos.

Peppermint tries to be welcoming and reassuring to Korsica when she first comes to after Kale's murder attempt, and Korsica returns that reassurance later on in Mimosa's level. She hasn't even been with the gang for a full mission yet, is probably still getting used to these changes, and she still tries to comfort Peppermint, especially during her "Kale's my brother" reveal.

Not to mention, during the optional conversations in Roquefort's office before you face Kale, Korsica's dialogue is slightly different in terms of topic. Everyone has something to say regarding their own specific character arcs and motivations, but part of Korsica's dialogue is specifically her worrying about Peppermint.

"But I'm a bit worried about Peppermint. This is personal for her." - Korsica "After all we've been through, it might not be easy... but I think she can handle it." - Chai "You might be right about that, but we need to be there for her when she needs it." - Korsica

Now going back to Kale and Roquefort, while their interactions are brief, you can tell that both of them have at least some respect for each other, which is a hell of a lot more than they give to most of the other Department Heads. Especially Kale.

"Zanzo, Stop. Just stop. Even you jumped the shark on this one. IN THE EYE? What the shit?" - Kale to Zanzo (via SPECTRA Hub vlog) "Only one of of four, Korsica? That's not a passing grade." - Kale to Korsica "It better! No slip-ups! And no defects." - Kale to Mimosa and Rekka Versus...

"Why not? I want to see just how angry you can get, if those punks make it in here." - Kale to Roquefort Sure, Kale still lashes out at him, he's not nice all of a sudden, but it feels like such a massive difference. Kale questions why he ever hired Zanzo, he tried to straight up KILL Korsica, and he's harsh enough to Mimosa and Rekka to the point that they flinch. Hell, REKKA of all people flinches twice. But here? Kale trusts Roquefort to handle things, even if he is a bit dismissive with the "you're just a number cruncher" line.

And on the other side of things, Roquefort is not only loyal to Kale, but surprisingly calm and casual around him. Casual enough to correct him and talk back.

"We...shut down the cafe." - Roquefort "When I said close the campus down, I didn't mean THE CAFE!" - Kale "You said close down everything." - Roquefort

The casual tone of voice is palpable. I genuinely think that's the least angry we see Roquefort, except maybe during the Boss Zoom meeting.

And if you want to go the shipping route, yes, shout out to my lesbians, not much to prove there, but... Hey Kale, do you want to explain why you, a confirmed dog person, gave Roquefort a robotic wolf fursuit? YOU WANNA EXPLAIN THAT??? HUH???

3. Similar Personalities:

They're cold, they're direct, and they're aggressive, and despite their rare goofy moments, I feel comfortable saying they're the most serious of the Department Heads.

Excluding the visual aspects (because this point would be null and void thanks to Roquefort fursuit), these two are by far the least hammy of the bosses. Unlike the others, who provide witty banter, plenty of cheesy lines and over-dramatic reactions, the dialogue for these two is rarely comedic or high-energy.

Here's some examples for comparison:

"I like defects. I like how they taste." - QA-1MIL

"So let's get ready to crumble!" - Rekka

Do I even need an example for Zanzo?

"Let's raise the stakes, and turn down the lights!" - Mimosa

"You've had a few hits, but I think it's time we break up the band." - Kale

Compare that to...

"Caught you off guard." - Korsica "I'll make sure you stay down this time!" - Korsica "You cocky LOSER!" - Korsica

"You sure made an entrance, lad. If you've come for me... I'd walk away." - Roquefort "Where's your confidence now, kid?" - Roquefort "I put my stock in futures, but not yours, kid." - Roquefort

The other bosses are willing to taunt and even go along with Chai's goofiness, but these two? Oh, they don't have much time for that. They barely hesitate, and are not holding back in the slightest. Korsica fucking yeets him down a slope, puts him in a headlock, knocks him out, does whatever she can to hold him back from getting to her office, and only pauses briefly to gaze upon his stupidity before whipping her batons out when he busts in. Even after she gets knocked out and sustains, like, 3 different flavors of concussion(5 if you count Chai and the vent hitting her), she gets RIGHT BACK UP! In a way, Roquefort is a bit more lenient, letting Chai into his office once he gets that far... but the "I'm not fucking around" energy is still there. He's like "Oh, you're really that determined? I respect it. Come at me, kid, I'm not fucking scared." And then he proceeds to back that up. He doesn't even bother attacking Chai with his regular form at first (or at all, frankly), he goes from 0 to 100 and refuses to fall somewhere in the middle. And finally, there's one similarity between them personality-wise that gets its own section, that being how...

4. They're Fueled by Anger:

Basically every boss is aggressive in some way, throwing all kinds of things at Chai as he consistently grinds their 30 day chips from anger management to dust, but here's the thing... When I say "fueled by anger", I mean health-wise. These two heal themselves on-screen because of their anger. With Roquefort, this is pretty well established. He constantly says that all Chai is doing is making him angrier, and that so long as he's mad, he won't be stopped, to the point that thousands of pounds of gold getting the drop on him was the only thing that could take him down. During the verse/phase changes, you can see his health bar quickly refill itself each time, and his wolf form model viewer description wraps this all up in a nice, neat little bow with this line: "Powered by Roquefort's own anger, attacking it will only make it more aggressive and powerful." Now, getting to Korsica... I'll only say this one thing. Can we just acknowledge she went from THIS:

TO THIS:

ALL BECAUSE CHAI CALLED HER OBLIVIOUS??? SHE'S OUT FOR BLOOD, SHE WANTS THAT TWINK OBLITERATED. "That's it! Now I'm mad!" - Korsica Anger Management? More like Angry Management, am I right?

5. Chai is Out of his Element:

*Holds Chai up by the scarf* Get his ass, you two (I say this affectionately)

Yeah, Chai is severely out of his element with both of them. These two fights are especially humbling for him, albeit for opposite reasons. Korsica is the one boss Chai can't just run in and beat the crap out of, so we see him struggle a lot as he constantly rolls nat 1s on charisma. He and the gang go through, like, three different plans in the span of the whole boss fight; first going with Peppermint's plan to state the facts and stay cool, followed by Chai's plan of trying to tire her out until she's willing to listen, and finally ending with "Fuck it, let's just kidnap her, we'll work on a plan D later". And to top it all off, Korsica throws an entire new addition to the parry mechanic at Chai in the middle of all of this, and he just has to keep rolling with it. For Roquefort's fight, I think it's pretty clear that Chai is TERRIFIED of him. He goes in all cocky and confident, thinking Roquefort's a pushover, and gets humbled QUICK when Roquefort reveals his true nature. You only very briefly see his confident attitude resurface during this fight, like when he knocks Roquefort through the glass pane to his money vault. Otherwise, he's either terrified or exhausted, especially at the end, gritting his teeth and getting ready to keep fighting because he has no other option. Not to mention the others are constantly reassuring and being protective of Chai during the fight via their call-in dialogue. Chai is straight up NOT having a good time. At least he got an unintentional nap after Korsica's fight, dude needs a rest after dealing with Roquefort. Where's SMIDGE when you need him, dude needs an energy drink, stat.

6. Boss Music:

Okay so I am NOT well-versed in musical vocabulary so like... bear with me on this. Hopefully this is coherent. Anyways, Negotiation and The Fizzith just... have the same vibe to me. Yes, I'm mostly focusing on The Fizzith, I believe in Streamer Mode Supremacy. First of all, I guess I can start off by saying that they're the only bosses with pure instrumentals for their tracks, with everyone else having lyrics in theirs. Second of all, both of their song formats just sound so... similar to me? Idk how to describe it, but like... They both start with a dramatic build up as they instill the fear of God in Chai, with Roquefort having that iconic classical music "DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUN" intro and Korsica having a shorter, but still just as powerful, build up as she jumps up and whips her batons out. This is then followed by, like, a slightly softer and steadier follow up as it proceeds with the rest of the intro cutscene, as Roquefort leaps over Chai and Korsica turns down Chai's offer to talk. Then the tension gradually grows as the fight goes on, with each phase adding another instrument or two to make things more intense. The Fizzith is already a lot more intense than Negotiation at the start, but you can still hear the build up with each phase for both. And then finally, there's a small "calm before the storm" section, aka where Chai almost talks Korsica down, and when Roquefort is amping up for his final Big Bad Wolf attack. Roquefort's goes back to a steady sort of beat for a moment, while Korsica's has that quiet clapping and softened tone. This is then followed by an intense, deep, high-energy climax as Korsica starts throwing everything she has at you, and as Roquefort sends this lengthy tornado sound-wave barrage at you. While this format is by no means an original one (hell, I noticed a lot of this in Mimosa's fight too), there's just something about their music that just... feels interconnected to me. Like, if I had to sit down and imagine any other boss having a parry-based boss fight like Korsica's, just going by their boss fight music, I'd go for Roquefort (with Mimosa as a close second). And genuinely, I have actually sat down and imagined it, and it's almost perfect. I'm connecting the two dots, motherfuckers (I'm not connecting shit) I'M CONNECTING THEM-

7. Control Over Security:

And with that, we're now arriving at the much smaller points that I don't have as much to discuss about. So I don't really need to say much about Korsica during this section, for obvious reasons. But as for Roquefort, he IS the one who takes over once Korsica's out of the picture and shit starts to hit the fan. "Kale, I prioritized shielding the tower. Reallocated the budget so not a bug will get in." - Roquefort And both of them are damn good at holding Chai and the others back. Korsica takes 3 whole stages to get to her, keeping you on your toes the whole time with lasers, brakes, and enemies galore. I imagine it would've been difficult as hell to get into the Security Department in the first place if Chai didn't get knocked out and held for questioning. And while his segment is pretty short, all things considered, Roquefort gives it his all to shield Vandelay Tower, locking it down so well that even the smartest members of the TEA-m are stumped. Chai's the only one with an idea, and even that had several hurdles. The second they started connecting to the cannon to launch Chai, security comes rushing in, and he probably would've gotten caged in if SMIDGE didn't unintentionally hold the door open for him. Let's also not forget the big-screened wanted posters, the whole Invaders Must Die cafeteria fight, and that one specific fucking bird that threw Chai around like a hacky sack. THEY. WANT. THIS. TWINK. OBLITERATED.

8. Their Affection Towards Cats:

Korsica has a folder on her computer labeled "CAT Gifs", and Roquefort fawns over 808 when she uses her Steal the Show ability. I rest my case.

9. Accidental Puns:

Okay, so I would've titled this "both like puns", but the jury's still out on Korsica in my opinion. Yeah, Chai says she's lying about hating puns, but to me, she seems like she's... on the fence of liking them. Like, she's hesitantly annoyed by them. But I CAN say that they've both accidentally made a pun. "You think you can strong-arm ME?" - Korsica "Hey, YOU chose to fight-...Wait, you like puns too?" (points at his arm) - Chai "What? No!" - Korsica "Roquefort here. Shut this place down! Protect Finance at all costs! (Heh, I said "costs!") - Roquefort "Ughhhhhhhh." - Peppermint

10. Probably Awakened Something in Players:

It's no wonder how thirsty the fandom is when these two have some of the most charged lines in the game... "You broke my concentration. So how 'bout I break you?" - Korsica "Let's take this somewhere a bit more secure. So we don't disturb the neighbors." - Roquefort Welcome to Hi-Fi Rush, where they appeal to both the "I love the kind of woman who could kick my ass" community and the furry werewolf boyfriend sugar daddy community.

11. Visual/Dialogue Similarities:

Finishing this off is a section dedicated to miscellaneous visual or dialogue similarities that I couldn't fit elsewhere.

(The camera zooms in before I can get a good shot of Korsica actually ON her desk, so standard shot it is.) TOP 10 WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS IN THE WORKPLACE #1: Jump onto your desk to establish dominance

Smug little losers...

GET FUCKING YEETED

Man, they even intimidated the camera man, they can't keep it straight.

Spiky, anime-ass hair/fur. Triangular.

Of course they have blue eyes and nails and pronouns (ft. Chai living the dream) Also, speaking of blue... maybe it's because both of theirs glow blue, but some of their cybernetics have the same vibe to me.

Mostly just the chest and the arms (since that's all Korsica's got). Maybe I'm just looking too hard but like... the blue tubes connected to the arms, the glowing chest... Okay, I'm running out of red string for my evidence board, moving on. Anyways, not as much to bring up about remaining dialogue similarities, but I still have a few. "Is that a floating cat? Ugh, nothing about you even makes sense!" - Korsica "The numbers are in... and YOU are OUT!" - Chai "Wow. That makes no sense, you idiot!" - Roquefort Behold Chai's natural ability to deal psychic damage by not making any sense whatsoever. And finally... mission plan dialogue. "Mission report. Just...go up." - Peppermint "Up?" - Chai "Up." - Peppermint "That's it?" - Chai "Looks like Korsica's in her office, and it's on the top floor. Hence, "up"." - Peppermint

"Chai, you're doing it! The Tower is unguarded. We're headed your way." - Korsica "Chai! Roquefort's office is a couple floors above you. Get up there and kick his ass!" - Peppermint When in doubt: go up.

So in conclusion...

[nellie-the-toad]

i'm losing my mind over the parallels between the trotters and the blanchfords (+amadin). all three children growing up together in the same place, with a father but without a mother. they all viciously care about one another (see nell with george when she's shot, sofia with her brother, amadin with sofia). but at the same time they are wildly different people. actually, the entire season can be read as a juxtaposition of the trotters and the blanchefords.

whereas nell voluntarily leaves her family in her late teens, amadin joins the family against his will as a child. the love-hate sofia feels for thomas is shown by her disapproval of his general behaviour (even disgust at times), but the fact that she later saves his life proves her love. nell loves george from the beginning on, despite not even knowing her. and while nell acquires power by chance without asking for it, sofia craves power at any cost and goes against her own morals to come by it.

the family dynamics of the blanchefords are characterised by power imbalances: amadin being a servant to his "siblings"/the people he grew up with. thomas being a bully to everyone in his life. the misogyny that sofia experiences. a cold, distant father with high (and specific) expectations of his children.

the trotters are shown as a warm family with loving dynamics. nell is not ostracised for wearing male clothing, and when she returns home her father almost immediately accepts her back. george is shown to be able to move around freely and play what she likes. both sam and roxy have to work hard, but that almost puts them in equal positions? neither of them own the tavern, it belongs to the blanchfords. and roxy being harassed by thomas is a different kind of misogyny than what sofia experiences.

and what is the underlying reason for their differences? what is established right on with the blanchfords living in a manor and the trotters running a tavern?

class.

the reason lord blancheford assures a strict upbringing of his children is because his son has to one day continue the legacy. there is a lot at stake because the family already has a lot of socioeconomic power. thomas is the way he is because he is an extremely privileged boy, who was taught (directly or indirectly) that his life is worth more than others. and the reason why sofia has this thirst for power is not just because she is a woman living under patriarchy but also because she is a rich woman, which makes land ownership something that is in reach but kept from her solely because she is a woman. and amadin is literally bought into the family (there's another aspect there concerning colonialism, but i'm not the right person to dissect that).

the two families are like two sides of the same coin. in contrast to the trotters, the blancheford family is extremely privileged but ultimately cold and twisted in their dynamics. and it all comes down to class difference.

[orphetoon]

Different person, I desire info on the ace attorney au

HI SORRY THIS IS LIKE A MONTH OLD AT THIS POINT

idk if i'll ever do more art bc when will i ever be interested in jjba AND aa at the same time again but just for you. the rough timeline of the entire au

PART 1: PHANTOM ATTORNEY

basically phantom blood but without vampires. jonathan is a defense attorney, the assistant switches between erina and speedwagon; first case is probably defending speedwagon. zeppeli isn't a hamon user here, but rather a spirit medium who gives jonathan some training. jonathan can't actually talk to ghosts, his ability is probably more similar to apollo's; maybe he can sense someones spirit 'wavering', aka when they're unsure.

main antagonist is dio, who is the opposing attorney. he's done a lot of shit he's never gotten caught for, but jonathan manages to reveal his crimes in the final case. dio gets sentenced to death, rip king.

PART 2: uh. battle tendency doesn't happen here.

idk how long it would've taken someone to get executed back in ye olde england times but for this au its long enough for jonathan to have at least two kids. one of these is george ii (joseph's dad), the other will create a branch family (aka giornos gotta exist somehow)

shortly after dio's execution, he forms as a vengeful spirit and is able to forcibly possess jonathan and kill him. dio's a bitch tho and continues to possess joestars whenever possible, but due to uh. reasons? he's not able to kill the next generation of joestars until they have had their own kids. deciding that going after the whole lineage would be tiring, dio just decides to focus on joseph and his descendants.

PART 3: jotaro fucks up

joseph manages to spirit train well enough that dio can't possess him or whatever, and lives a long life. holly manages to avoid him as well. jotaro was on the track to be strong enough to shut dio out, but decided to be an idiot 17 year old and try to banish dio for good. by some means both he and dio fail at their goals, and jotaro is stuck with dio...not really possessing him, but giving running commentary 24/7. joots tries to live with it for awhile, but the thought that dio could eventually succeed in possessing him and hurting those around him (aka baby jolyne) causes him to distance himself from everyone.

PART 4: AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

apologies to josuke for stealing his part number.

anyway. almost completely unrelated to all that, pannacotta fugo is a prodigy prosecuting attorney who has one of the highest success rates in the country. he has a found family sort of thing with the rest of bucci's gang, who he's all advised on legal matters at some point. they (sans fugo) run a restaurant; this isn't important at all to the au, i just like the idea. anyway, fugo's life is pretty good, until.

giorno fucking giovanna.

he arrives out of nowhere and quickly becomes the best defense in the country, even tho he's younger than fugo (both of them are too young to be attorneys, but this is aa). doesn't matter if his client is clearly guilty, giorno can get them off the hook (he only takes clients he believes should be seen as innocent, but giorno has his own interesting moral system). these two idiots battle it out in the courtroom, until bucciarati is framed for a murder.

unable to defend him, fugo turns to the only person he can, giorno. giorno completely clears bucci's name, unraveling the truth of the case - aka taking down diavolo, who's organized most of the crimes in this 'game'. since trish is the assistant for this game, she becomes kinda the main character during the final case lol. either way diavolo goes to jail, and both gio and trish are sort of folded into the bucci gang.

PART 5: GHOSTS ARE REAL

the second 'game' would be giorno with jolyne as an assistant; he clears her from the vehicular manslaughter and both of them resolve to solve the conspiracy behind it (it's pucci. pucci's behind it). josuke is here as a side character, being a police detective

the final case involves revealing pucci's crimes and jolyne finding a way to free her father from dio's spirit. no universe reset here lads :)

50/50 onto whether giorno finds out he's actually related to the joestars or not. he still bills them either way

PART 6: feedback investigations

fugo gets his own games but idk a whole lot about the investigations games so uh! lets just say its normal aa shenanigans with the purple haze feedback characters in there as well

[thenerdofthegroup]

I haven’t been able to post this for a bit because I’ve been working non stop. But I finally have a chance to post it so I will now! Warning there may be a reference to a few very small leaks in the Death and Three of Swords section so read at you own risk! Don’t want to spoil anything for anyone! ALSO, these are thoughts that were written in a rush so sorry if they are rushed haha

I was going to try and make it beautiful but… it has taken this long. I'm just going to post screenshots of my document. Feel free to comment opinions or anything! Just nothing hateful please, we all want to enjoy this show equally. Also my doc has now become 85 pages… ffs

[offorestsongs]

OC INTRODUCTION ❣️KALLE BRUNNE

BASIC INFORMATION

name 🐚 Kalle Brunne

age 🐚 17

birthday 🐚 02.06

height 🐚 173cm

homeland 🐚 Coral Sea

dorm 🐚 Octavinelle

class 🐚 2-C (Sophomore)

best subject 🐚 Defense Magic

club 🐚 Science Club

dominant hand 🐚 left

Quiet, mysterious and always looking like he would rather be somewhere else, Kalle is Azul's loyal yes-man. He spends most of the time on the sidelines, carefully observing people around him and gathering information. He acts as Azul's eyes and follows his every order, gossip says.

Like the rest of the Octavinelle trio, Kalle is a merperson and actually went to the same middle school as them, though they never interacted much. To be fair, Kalle had never interacted much with anyone. As the middle child out of a gaggle of loud kids, he grew up either being forgotten and left behind, getting compared to their more accomplished younger siblings or being mocked by their older siblings' friends. They quick learned that the best way to survive is to fade into the background and let people more powerful than them cover their back.

At Night Raven College, when the word about Azul's wish-granting abilities spread out, Kalle came to him, offering his services in exchange for a safe and secure place in the school metaphorical food chain.

Just as smart and cunning as Azul and the twins, he follows Azul's orders blindly. Determined, methodical and good at planning. While he usually doesn't speak much, when he does, it's usually something sarcastic. He tends to say he has a low stupidity tolerance.

While they're good at keeping his cool and seeming indifferent to most things, inside they're a deeply emotional person who learned how to hide almost everything about themselves, including their opinions and interests.

Their signature spell is called Seaglass. It allows them to see through another person's eyes for up to 30 seconds at a time without the person knowing.

TRIVIA/OTHER FACTS

🐚 twisted from Ursula's cauldron

🐚 Rook calls him Monsieur Lunette (Monsieur Spyglass)

🐚 his merfolk form is based on coral groupers, which are the fishes known for hunting with moray eels

🐚 their last name comes from the word "brun", which is danish for "brown" (since Hans Christian Andersen was Danish hihi)

🐚 they're actually a BIG science and biology nerd

🐚 they're also, surprisingly, very interested in makeup, seeing it as a kind of science as well, but it's the interest they're the most secretive about

🐚 at first they joined the Board Games Club because of Azul but quickly dipped because they found it boring and they though Idia was annoying (lmao)

🐚 if he could, he would live entirely on black coffee or some inhuman mix of energy drinks

🐚 loves researching the most random topics; you can often see them in the library, wandering between the shelves, searching for something that will catch their eye

RELATIONSHIPS

Azul Ashengrotto — here's the thing, you see. Yes, Kalle admires his inteligence and magic powers and will do basically anything he says without hesitation. Does he actually like Azul as a person, though? Well. Sometimes, during the times when Kalle tries to not feel jealous of his magic or his place in the school's society. He tries to not think about Azul as a friend, though, trying to keep their relationship strictly business-like. (They're so friends.)

Floyd Leech — oh, boy. Their first meeting, still back in middle school, ended in a bit of a disaster, with Kalle losing his patience for once and yelling at Floyd. That made Flody think that maybe Kalle is somebody like Riddle — somebody easy to anger. Somebody fun. Unfortunately for Kalle, the fact that he actually has a great control of his emotion and rarely loses his cool only made Floyd more persistent. He wanted to push Kalle's buttons, see what exactly it is that sets him off, tests the limits of his patience. And well. It would be easier for Kalle if they could simply dislike Floyd. See him as simply lazy and chaotic and stupid, instead of noticing his intelligence and the ability to see through people and feeling drawn to his antics. They often argue, though it had long lost any fire and now sounds more like friendly bickering and if they sometimes make out in the hallways— that's Kalle's bussines, alright.

Jade Leech — probably the only person from the Octavinelle trio that Kalle has a simple, straightforward relationship with. They're friends, in their own weird way. Neither of them has the need to pry into the other's affairs but they feel comfortable in eachother's presence and Kalle shares Jade's interest in different land flora.

Kalim Al-Asim — easily one of Kalle's most disliked people at school. He doesn't know what it is about Kalim that wears his patience so thin so quickly and he doesn't want to find out, preferring to stay as away from the boy as possible.

Jamil Viper — in another universe, those two maybe could be friends. Sadly, for now Kalle spends most of the time observing Jamil with suspicion, not trusting anything he does. They're also — most importantly, very embarrassingly — just a bit jealous of the way Azul tried to befriend Jamil. But that's a secret.

Rook Hunt — if Kalle could ask a genie for one wish, it would be for Rook Hunt to finally shut up. Sadly, there's no genies nearby and so Kalle has to suffer through every Science Club meeting. Even more tragic, Rook seems to know a lot about about a lot of different things Kalle finds interesting and so they make the same mistake everytime, agreeing to help Rook with a club project only to regret it after, when he has to listen to the boy talk about sunsets or Vil’s eyes for two hours.

Trey Clover — he's not sure if he and Trey are friends, but Kalle likes him. He's usually the most sane person around, which feels like a breath of fresh air after being in the same dorm as the Leeches. While they dont necessarily hang out, they sometimes spend time in the library together and being the upperclassman, Trey helps Kalle with homework from time to time.

star flag and floaty get along pretty well, it was the one that called the hospital for him.

Dm and creamsicle float used to be pretty good friends until the whole incident plus getting murdered by her. since then, he’s kept his distance

he thinks stopwatch and handkerchief are pretty cool, yet it notices how distant they are, so he does the same for the most part, he gets it.

He HATES cheeseball with its guts. It just can’t stand their personality, yet he sees itself in him, so there’s at least a bit of respect for them.

him and ice cream tub have been close since they were 14 and are basically best friends for life. He can’t imagine life without her.

I also added Ice Cream Pail even tho she just joined. Floaty introduced her to all of them and she’s pretty with all of them. Her especially has a liking for dm since they are similar in terms of personality. If she knew what dm did to both star flag and creamsicle float, well, things aren’t going to be pretty, floaty spared her the details.

[never-not-ever]

So yesterday my doctor said that she's not working with me outpatient because I lied again. It was hard to hear that but honestly what did I expect. If I had told her last week she said she wouldn't have taken away working together because it wasn't so much the self harm as it was the lying. She can't work with me if I'm lying "how will I know if you're stocking pills or drinking, you've lied all this time in here". It was harsh but true and I understand.

Yesterday morning was so hard after hearing that. I was emotional and crying for a few hours. But I ended up calming down, thought rationally and then went to two groups and the tunnel walk. I was worried I was going to do something stupid and thought if her decision wasn't so final I'd have hope and be okay, so I asked if it was definite or if it was a "I need to think about it". She said "she's not working with me outpatient but after the 6 month IOP program she'll work with me"...

Today's meeting went a lot better. She said something about during the IOP program I can pop by and check in with her, nothing like clinical. I should probably ask her more about that next time. I made some comment that maybe she'll change her mind next week and she said she's not. But honestly with her track record maybe she will. Or maybe she'll say I can do the "pop by" after I discharge here. Who. The. Fuck. Knows. I'm not holding on to hope that she'll change her mind but it is a possibility.

In the meeting today we talked about my social worker getting in touch with DMH cause they said they'd help me find providers last week and I said I'm still looking for my own because DMH could take a while. In the past it was all he said, she said and the process was so drawn out and then my discharge date got canceled. That's the thing. I told my doctor that I want to leave before the self harm escalates and gets worse and she understood that. I said how instead of discharging on the 15th (day she gets back from vacation) I'd like to leave on the 8th. She'd be gone but I said exactly and my social worker finished my thought outloud so you don't have to say goodbye. To which my doctor said it's not a goodbye, it's a see you later. To which I replied yea cause I'll just be back in a few weeks.

I can't describe the mood I was in during my meeting. It was weird. Almost like a guarded, sarcastic, hopeful mood? At one point my social worker asked me why I'm so hard on myself and I said have you just met me? and my doctor was like that's my line on you and I said I'm stealing it and at the end I said it was going to be a fun next couple last days together next week and smirked.

Stealing your idea and making the ask fandom related >:)

What do you love most about bsd and (why) would you recommend it?

Mocha, get prepared for a long ass rant cause you've got me monologuing

I think my favourite part about bsd is the love for literature and stories that the story has.

Its a bit hard to explain but all the characters are based on classic literature authors and their works. So the story has these layers that you can peel back if you learn more things about the authors or read their works, bsd managed to make me genuinely interested in reading classic literature and I'm still amazed by that.

It also has so many interesting characters and relationships between characters + alot of the times these relationships are connected to the authors' real life relationships with eachother.

I think its also nice that I feel like I can trust the author, he has his flaws but I feel like I can trust him to give us a satisfying conclusion to things. He's incredible honestly.

As for wether I would recommend it? I think that's heavily subjective. Getting into bsd can get pretty difficult I think?

The anime for one sometimes (alot of the time) fucks up so many things from the manga and light novels and that reduces the impact of the story.

Also, the first season kinda sucks but it gets much much better ( thats not to say its completely bad, it has its moments but I didn't get into bsd properly until s2)

Honestly, it depends, are you prepared to spend your time watching something a bit clunky until you get to the good part.

Frankly, if I wanted to recomended bsd to somone I'd spend some time checking if they are wierd enough about stories and exposing them to parts of bsd slowly by talking to them about it.

Would I recommend it to you specifically, idk, really. You might like it, I do think you should give it a shot cause you don't fall in either or catagory of 'would' or 'wouldn't' when it comes to who I'd recommend it to.

So, maybe try it out, you might end up loving it like I did.

Also, if you start, don't just stop at the anime, the anime has like half of what we really love about bsd.

Okay last of these for the prompt month. Like how I wound up highlighting how they first became friends, started dating, proposed, and now for the Valentine's Day prompt, may as well wrap it up with them spending the day with their daughter.

This is probably gonna be so cute I'm gonna barf

"Dad?"

"Yes? Dearest daughter of mine?" Donatello hummed as he undid the lock on the apartment door and swung it open. He'd just picked up Holly from school, the same place that Hueso's son went to preschool in the city.

Yeesh, five years old already. Donatello was tempted to invest time in building a device to slow down time but that probably wouldn't work out how he expected it to.

Holly darted into the living room, already tossing her bag onto the sofa. "It's Valemtines."

"Valentines." He softly corrected her pronunciation. She learned to talk at a very young age, but big words still gave her trouble. "It is, did you learn about that in class?"

"Yeah." She smiled up at him, leaning back and forth on her toes. "Miss Orlow said umm... its fun to partic... um, join in on surface holidays."

"It is." He knelt down so she wouldn't start straining her neck--or attempt to climb up on the back of the sofa. "Did you do something in class for it?"

"We made cards." She bounced a few times. "For classmates and..." Holly dove for her bag, opening it up. A handful of pencils, markers, and some balled up scrap paper fell onto the floor. Donatello made a note to help her clean it out later.

She pulled out a folded piece of paper, the colorful scribbles and stickers already visible. At first she turned toward her father, only to suddenly hide it behind her back.

"No. Wait till Daddy gets home. It's for you both."

"Aw, what?" Donatello gave her a smile and slowly reached toward her. "Can't I have a little peek?"

"Noooo." Holly whined and darted to the other side of the sofa.

He laughed and moved forward a bit to start picking her supplies up off the floor. He put the pencils and markers into the proper slots in the bag. "Do you want me to throw these pieces of paper out? Are they important?"

"Um," Holly approached, keeping the card far away as she took each one and unwrapped it. Eventually she held up one of them and pushed the others aside. "Keep this one."

Donatello nodded and took the others, putting them in the recycle bin.

Holly followed him to the kitchen. "You and Daddy have plans? Valem... Val... Val-en-tines is big for parents, right?"

"It's often a romantic holiday, yes." He opened the fridge and tugged out a juice box, offering it to her. "But we hadn't planned anything this year. A night out means having someone watch over you and shockingly, even Uncle Leo has plans."

Holly gave him a big frown as she took the juice. "I'm big. I can take care of myself."

He tried not to laugh out loud. "You are the biggest you've ever been, I won't deny it, but you still can't be left without someone to watch over you in case something happens. But! That is quite alright." He suddenly snatched her off the floor and Holly squealed out a laugh. "Your daddy and I both agree that spending Valentine's with you sounds like more fun anyway."

Holly gasped. "What if I planned Valem-Valentines day?"

"Oh? What did you have in mind?"

The question made her expression shift from excitement to deep thought, her tiny eyebrows almost pressing together as she squinted. "Um..." Then she wiggled, an indicator that she wanted down.

Donatello lowered her to the floor before he let go.

"Dad? Can I talk to Aunty April?"

"Sure, let's see if she's busy." He pulled out his phone and dialed her. A few rings later, April picked up.

"Hey Donnie." She chimed.

"Sounds like you're in a good mood." He smiled. "Sunita have something big planned after work today?"

"Work?" April snorted. "As if, I took the day off. Let some of the new kids do some reporting. My girl and I got the whole day to ourselves."

"Ooh, making me jealous."

"Aw, Jase at work today?"

"Indeed, his turn in the office, and I have some work to do myself as soon as--"

A sharp tug on his pant leg reminded him why he started this call in the first place.

"No, never mind that, Holly wants to talk to you."

"Oh? Sure thing, put her on."

Donatello handed his daughter the phone.

Holly took it, then glared at him. "No listening. It's a secret."

"Of course." He turned away from her, waiting for her to walk out of the room to talk to April, but instead she only moved a few feet away.

"No listening." She insisted.

"I'm not listening." He nodded, biting his lip, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Aunty April?" Holly spoke into the phone. "I'm planning Valentines day... yeah yeah for my daddies, um, but what should I do?" A long pause. "Oh, yeah yeah, maybe um, I could decorate?... I have a blanket I could use...yes! Okay, thank you Aunty April."

Donatello waited until his daughter tugged on his pant leg again before turning to retrieve the phone. He saw the line was still connected, and put it to his ear. Holly stared at him, obviously watching for something.

"Just what were you two planning?" He said into the line, trying to play as dumb as possible.

"Obviously it's a secret." April snickered. "Have a good night, Donnie."

"Indeed, you as well April." With that he hung up and put his phone away, seeing his daughter still eyeing him. "So? Should I leave you to it or..."

She furrowed her brow again, glancing around the kitchen for a bit without saying anything. He fists clenched at her sides and a low hum started to emerge from her throat.

Donatello tried to figure out what she was thinking. "Do you need the kitchen?"

Holly nodded.

"So should I leave?"

"Um... I..." Her gaze turned to the floor. "I don't know how to cook."

Once again he bit back a laugh. "Well, as much as I believe in experience being the best teacher, I would rather you not try and take on such a task by yourself. So, will you let me help?"

"Um, only with cooking." Her gaze became determined. "And grocery shopping. That's it."

"I can agree to those terms. Do you know what you want to cook?"

"Aunty April said barbie que?"

"Barbecue, I assume she meant Korean Barbecue. That should be easy to prep. Should we go take care of shopping now?"

Holly jumped. "Yes!"

"Do you want to get changed?" Donatello offered, knowing his daughter was sometimes very particular about her "school" clothes and her "casual" clothes.

"Yes!" She jumped one more time before darting off to her room.

Donatello smiled and pulled his phone out once more, texting his husband.

>Holly is planning our evening

Only a few moments before a reply popped up.

>Sounds like fun.

>How's work?

>Busy, like it always is when you get on an inventing streak and don't think about all the paperwork for the patents.

Donatello sent three whole lines of hearts and pleading emojis.

>I'll forgive you since it's a holiday, but we're working on this as soon as Draxum offers to look after Holly for the day again.

>I love youuuuuuuuu

He sent another line of hearts.

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

Shopping had been fun, but negotiations started all over again as soon as they got home. Holly wanted to prep food right away, but Donatello had work to do and it was far too early to start on dinner. He managed to convince her to focus her time on decorating for now, although Donatello was absolutely not allowed to come out and peek until it was time to cook.

He took the deal, the silence in the office--that doubled as Holly's second playroom some days--allowing him to catch up on a few things.

But, after just an hour of blissful silence, a loud crash came from the kitchen.

Panic and instincts had him rushing out of the room and straight toward the sound. He saw Holly on the floor, right next to one of the swivel chairs that normally stayed in his bedroom.

"Holly?" Donatello dove toward her just as she began to push herself up. "Are you okay?" He helped her up, only for her to push his hands away.

"Fine." She snapped. "I told you no peeking."

He let out a ragged sigh. "Holly, I heard the chair hit the floor. You could have been badly hurt." He looked at the object. What was it even doing on the floor? He glanced around the room, at the unbelievable amount of paper decorations a five year old managed to put around the kitchen in the span of an hour, and finally saw the garland that was only partially hung on the doorway. "Were you trying to use that chair to climb?"

She puffed out her cheeks and crossed her arms.

"Holly, that's not safe." He stood and picked up the chair, nudging it toward the living room to put back later. "If you need help reaching high places you should ask me."

"No!" She stomped her foot. "It's a surprise."

"That's not worth hurting yourself over."

"Mmmm!" She practically screamed with her lips closed, the sound getting higher and higher, more ear wrenching.

Donatello managed to snatch his frustration and wrestle it down. Yelling wouldn't help. Snapping wouldn't help. He took a few seconds to breathe.

"Holly." He knelt down in front of her.

She turned her head away.

"Give me a sign if you're listening."

The tension at least left her shoulders, and eventually she gave a nod.

"I understand that you want to surprise Jase and I, and I understand wanting to do it yourself, but I don't want you to get hurt. If I call Shelldon over to help you with the hard to reach stuff, is that acceptable?"

Tears welled up in her eyes. "But you've already ruined the surprise."

"I've barely seen any of it." Donatello said as he slapped his hands over his eyes. "Promise, and I won't look at anymore. Do you want me to call Shelldon? Is that fair?"

Silence.

"Dad can't see you right now. Are you nodding or shaking your head?"

"Nodding." Holly mumbled. "Shelldon can come over."

"Okay, let me leave the room and call him. And don't try to climb anything else until he gets here." Donatello stood and headed out. He knew where the door was, he had this apartment layout memorized. Still, he let himself bump into the corner of the entrance while his eyes were still covered. Holly's giggles confirmed that the stunt was worth it.

Once he got to the hallway he tapped in the call for the droid. He kept his back to the kitchen, not even wanting to give the impression that he was looking.

He heard Holly's footsteps on the wood, then the hallway rug before she hugged his left leg.

Donatello glanced down at her. "Everything okay? You sure you're not hurt?"

She nodded. "Sorry for shouting."

He knelt down once more to gently rub her head, always so amused by the short bits of hair on her scalp. "I'm not upset. Sorry for almost ruining the surprise."

Shellon picked then to arrive, giving his signature taps on the window. Donatello gestured for Holly to go let him in. Thankfully easier and safer for her since he always came in from the big window in the living room. Holly could easily climb onto the ledge and undo the latch.

"Donnie." Shelldon's voice rang through the apartment as he flew in. He lowered himself before his body transformed, giving him arms and legs. "What's happening? What do you need?"

"Oh, I don't need anything. Holly needs some help with setting up the kitchen." Donatello pointed. "I'm not allowed to help, so it's your job to make sure she stays safe."

"Oooh, decorating?" Shelldon turned to Holly, still taller than her, but she was certainly catching up. "Is there a party?"

"Valentines." She shouted the word with such confidence.

"Alright, well let's get to it!" The droid ran off to the kitchen, Holly not far behind.

Donatello smiled at their retreating footsteps and returned to his office.

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

Donatello spent the next couple of hours working. He kept an ear out, knowing Shelldon would alert him if anything went wrong, but the most he heard was Holly's infectious laughter dancing down the hall.

Finally, a little after 5 PM, Holly called him out to start working on dinner. He took a moment to marvel at her decorating. Paper chains hung all around the kitchen by now, in shades of pink, white and purple. Paper hearts were taped to the wall. She'd tossed one of her colorful blankets over the table and even put out plates--though it was all the plastic ware Donatello kept within arm reach for her.

There were also stickers. A lot of stickers that he assumed she got from class. All of them plastered all over the cupboards. He inwardly cringed, but refused to let it show on his face. He'd save the sticker lecture for later.

Donatello helped Holly prep for dinner, which meant he was actually doing most of it, carefully holding her hands as she held onto various veggies and meats. He showed her how to cut each of them, but refused to let her do it herself. Maybe next year, he told her.

During all this, Shelldon got called back to the lair by Leo. When everything was prepped, Donatello got the grill out and set it up on the table.

Just then, the front door opened.

Holly gasped, rushing for the entrance. "Daddy!"

Donatello couldn't even get out of the kitchen before he heard his husband grunt, and then laugh.

"You should be careful with the jumping," Jase said. "One day you're going to knock me over."

Donatello stepped into the living room, seeing Jase holding Holly with one arm while his other gripped a couple of grocery bags. Donatello took them, letting his husband hug their daughter properly.

"So? How was school?"

"Valentines." Holly shouted.

Donatello chuckled as he moved to the kitchen to put the few food items away, knowing one of them was to surprise their daughter with.

"Valentines? Did you do something for the holiday?"

"We made cards." Holly's feet thumped against the floor. "I made you and Dad one. You gotta see now. Dad! Come see!"

"Coming." Donatello called as he closed the fridge and folded up the reusable bags. He returned to the living room where Holly had her hands behind her back again, stomping her feet with excitement.

She waited until Donatello stood just behind Jase before holding out the handmade card. Jase took it, holding it up so they both could look at the cover. A few paper hearts were glued on the front, stickers all around, and in each of the hearts was a childish rendition of the three of them.

Donatello couldn't hold back his snort when he saw Jase's eyes were just two giant circles with dots.

Jase shot him a glare.

"What?" He tried to smile. "She really captured your eyes." He poked at the side of Jase's lenses.

His husband retaliated by reaching up and tapping the button on the side of his head set. A light crackle rang through the air as his glasses materialized on his face.

"Square eyes." Jase flicked at the lens.

"Hey." Holly waved her arms. "You're supposed to open it."

"Right, of course." Donatello gestured to the card before tapping his headset to put his glasses away.

Jase opened the card to reveal more stickers, some crayon drawings of hearts, and a short message scrawled out in almost illegible handwriting. And that was most certainly not how you spelled Valentine's.

Still, he could make out the phrase, "Happy Valentine's Day, Dads."

"So?" Holly tapped her fingers together. "Do you like it?"

"Daughter Dearest, I love it." Donatello smiled at her.

"Indeed. I think the pair of us are going to be fighting over who gets to keep it on their night stand." Jase closed the card and held it close to his chest.

"Hmm," Donatello hummed as he snaked an arm over his husband's shoulder. "Wrestle you for it."

Jase yelped when he was pulled back against Donatello's chest. "Donnie!"

"No? Smooch battle then? You know I'll win." He leaned over to kiss his husband on the ear and the cheek.

Jase chuckled as he tried to shove him away.

"Dads." Holly whined. "Do that after dinner."

"Ah, she does have a point." Donatello let go. "We don't want that going sour."

Jase loosened his tie. "Let me go put on something more casual then and--"

"No!" Holly insisted. "You're supposed to be fancy. Dad should go change."

Donatello blinked. "Huh?"

Jase smirked and undid his tie, letting it hang around his shoulder. "You heard her. Go put on something nice."

"I'll get dressed up too!" Holly announced before she darted off to her room.

Donatello shook his head. "She's very excited about this."

"I can tell." Jase smiled. "Seems like you had fun today."

"Actually I spent most of it working, she insisted on it being a surprise."

"I'm glad she's enjoying herself." He nudged Donatello toward the hall. "Now go change."

Thankfully changing didn't take long--he could get away with wearing something simple as long as it looked nice--and he managed to meet his husband back in the kitchen before Holly came out of her room. He found Jase staring at the sticker covered cupboards, his frustration evident on his face.

"I know." Donatello patted his shoulder. "I'll be talking to her about it later, but not tonight."

Jase let out a long sigh and ran his hands down his face. "I suppose it could be worse. It'll never be as bad as the time Mikey gave her those finger paints and she decided to turn her bed into a rainbow."

Yeah, Donatello remembered that. Even if the paints were washable the reds and purples left a permanent stain.

Still, "You say that like it's not a fond memory at this point."

Jase crossed his arms. "I don't know what you mean."

"I mean, you mentioned earlier that one day she's just going to knock you over. Sometimes it makes me dizzy, how fast she's growing."

His husband let out a long sigh. "You didn't have to word it like that. I don't want to think about--"

"Ready!" Holly shouted as she rushed into the kitchen, now wearing her sparkly purple dress. "Sit down, sit down. I'm going to get um, drinks!"

Jase put a hand on her head to stop her from running. "And what about you? You're joining us for dinner, right?"

Holly stared up at her daddy with wide eyes, the same dark shade of brown as him. "Um... no? Your Valentine's dinner."

"You need to eat something, Holly."

"Ummmm..."

Donatello shrugged. "We could just give her her Valentine's present early."

Somehow her eyes got even bigger. "I get a Valentine's present?"

"But of course." Donatello held up a finger as he moved to the fridge. "It's about celebrating your loved ones, not just the romantic sort." He opened the door and pulled out a lidded tray, the whole thing full of shrimp with a couple of dipping sauces. "So I told Daddy to pick this up for you."

Holly gasped, practically in slow motion as her arms lifted up as she took in a deep breath.

Donatello covered at least one of his ears.

The screech that came out of her mouth shook the paper decorations on the wall. "Shrimp?"

His uncovered ear started ringing, but he couldn't help but laugh as she scrambled toward him, jumping up and down for the tray. He handed it to her. She kept shouting "yes" over and over again as she ran in a few circles and then darted off to her room.

"Holly!" Jase called after her. "Ugh, you're supposed to eat that at the table."

"Relax." Donatello rubbed his shoulders and nudged him toward the table. "Sit down. Do you want anything fancy to drink?"

"Maybe after dinner. And if she makes a mess in her room with that shrimp, you're cleaning it up." Jase plopped down in his chair and turned on the grill. "Barbecue, huh?"

"April suggested it to Holly." Donatello shrugged and got them both a glass of water. "But I know it's one of your favorites, so I figured why not?"

Jase snorted. "You just love it because you can eat more meat than veggies."

"That's normal for me." He put the waters on the table before he sat down. "But yes." He rested his chin on his hand, staring at his husband and all the tacky paper decorations in the background. Jase met his gaze, still appearing tired and frustrated, but Donatello could tell it wasn't serious.

After the brief silence, Jase raised an eyebrow. "What are you staring at?"

"Only at the most handsome man in the universe, of course."

Jase shook his head, his cheeks turning just a shade darker. "Save the sappiness for after dinner or I'm not going to be able to eat with all the cavities you're giving me."

Donatello bounced his leg to burn off the giddiness in his chest. "Happy Valentine's Day, Love."

Jase hummed in agreement. "Happy Valentine's. Now is that grill hot enough? I'm starving."

"Glad you have your appetite."

"I didn't eat enough during lunch. Devin kept coming in with questions thanks to the recent wave of investors crawling around and--"

"Daddies?" Holly's voice suddenly came from the other room. It was high pitched, and followed by a sniffle.

Jase leaned back in his chair before shouting back to her. "Yes dear? Are you okay?"

"I threw up." She managed to get out before bursting into sobs.

Jase glanced back at Donatello. There was a brief pause before he said, "She ate the shrimp too fast."

Donatello sighed. "She ate the shrimp too fast."

"Well, what did I say earlier?"

He couldn't help but grumble a bit, but got up from his seat and walked around the table. "Okay, I'll go clean it up. You're lucky it's a holiday and I love you."

"Love you too." Jase caught his hand as he walked past, planting a quick kiss on the back of it. "Bring her to the table when you're done, she should be eating with us anyway."

Donatello agreed, and left the kitchen to see Holly still standing in the hallway, clutching her dress as tears ran down her face.

He towered over her for a second, but still did his best not to look intimidating. "Did you eat the shrimp too fast?"

She sniffed and nodded.

"Alright," he patted her head. "Let's asses the damage, shall we?"
