The Sakamakis perfect match in: Game night

From author: This is a new series I'll be doing where I pair up the Sakamakis with their perfect partner for specific scenarios, so if you have any asks, feel free to send!

Shu Sakamaki

🎻- Frankly, Shu is a lazy man child whose only purpose on earth is to drive you up a wall

🎻- He needs someone competent that can carry your team for the BOTH of you because God knows he won't

🎻- Shu finds that getting a reaction out of you far more interesting than the game itself

🎻- So let's say you're playing Uno, he has five +4 cards up his ass and he's only willing to spend them on either you or Reiji

🎻- The truth is, when you're good at everything, no challenge is ever truly a challenge and that makes life soooo boring especially if you're immortal

🎻- Anyways, Shu would be best matched with someone that would try their best at any given game, especially if they're competitive

🎻- He also needs someone that's a major crash out and tweaks tf out when he ruins the game for them

Reiji Sakamaki

☕️- Reiji definitely needs a team player

☕️- He needs someone strategic and communicative so they can conspire together on ways to win

☕️- Here's a hint, he's open to blatant cheating if you do it in such a way that it doesn't technically count, except it so does

☕️- For example, you're all playing Monopoly. You offer to buy Ayato's property in exchange for yours except you KNOW that it's in between both of Reiji's properties, and the chances of him landing are extremely high and you and Reiji are in kahoots together so you both split the profits

☕️- See that's not technically cheating, that's playing smart

☕️- Reiji's best match would be someone who's competitive but also cunning. Ooh and never let him feel like you're the one in charge, he'll go crazy

Ayato Sakamaki

🏀- Well uh

🏀- He would want someone as arrogant and competitive as him, but is that what he needs? Absolutely not

🏀- Ayato needs someone level headed that can help balance out their team dynamic in order to win

🏀- He needs someone that'll see the flaws in his mistakes and take accountability for HIM because I have no idea if you could even convince him he even made a mistake in the first place

🏀- In short, Ayato needs someone to save that burning ship he's on

🏀- You need to be in control without specifically admitting you're in control, you need to be sneaky about it and make it seem like HE'S the one who came up with those ideas

🏀- The best example I can think of is when you're playing pictionary, you whisper something REALLY close to what the actual thing is and have him come up with the answer himself

Laito Sakamaki

🃏- Laito's best match would be someone who's a bit laid back and playful

🃏- While we all know Laito's extremely smart and can read people well, we need someone to bring out that side of him rather than takeover and never have him put his skills to use

🃏- He needs someone that'll force him to take the lead otherwise everything would just be a big joke to him and unless it's a game he likes, he genuinely does not care

🃏- You need to kind of be a Shu in this case

🃏- What I mean by this is, you need to tease him a bit, make him feel just the inciest bit insecure about his game skills. Tease him, make jabs at him, play mindlessly into the opponent's hands

🃏- Hmm this example would best describe what I mean. Imagine you're playing a game of Ludo and you roll a six and instead of moving your piece out of the way before it gets "eaten", you choose the option to unlock another of your pieces to the game. He goes nuts after your like 3rd time of this and subtly starts giving advice despite cussing you out in his mind

Kanato Sakamaki

🧸- Someone patient for sure but also extremely determined

🧸- You need to essentially gentle parent him to the finish line

🧸- Don't get mad at him when he makes a dumb move but let him scold you because you did

🧸- Kanato would work well with someone that's headstrong and has a clear view of victory. He needs someone he can trash talk the other players to, regardless if they're his brothers or not

🧸- Aside from him being batshit insane, he'd be a fun person to play with. He's smart and calculated in the emotional aspect of the game and he can read his players really well

🧸- He knowsss how to get under their skin and might even have a freak out if someone calls him out. Of course none of it is real, but what the others said DID hurt his feelings (just maybe not to that extent truthfully)

🧸- Kanato would work well with someone willing to put up with his antics, someone who's patient and well versed in the game they're playing

🧸- The only example for this scenario I can think of is imagine you guys are playing checkers or chess and Kanato stands behind you while outwardly critiquing your opponent's every flaw and making disappointed noises and distracting them purposely

Subaru Sakamaki

🥀- Similar to Kanato, he needs someone patient

🥀- Obviously his anger will be an issue, but you also need to be smart to be able to point out the flaws in his moves and communicate to him ways to win

🥀- See Subaru would pair great with someone that can tell him what to do clearly and precisely

🥀- You need to be the brains to his brawns, you need to think and act quickly

🥀- You also need to shit talk his brothers with him

🥀- Maybe they made a stupid move, why not try lightening the mood with some loud whispering about them

🥀- Subaru would act like he doesn't like the idea of game night, but by the time he has the dice in his hand, he's folded. And because of this, he needs someone that can have fun with him

🥀- He needs someone playful but yet a person that can lock in at any given moment

🥀- Even if you guys don't win, he'll make a comment on how fun it was in the end

🥀- Example wise, I can honestly only think of you guys playing Snakes and Ladders and you shake the desk while the dice rolls to give someone the exact number they need to get eaten by a snake and he's just in the background backing you up and vouching for you that you didn't do it, meanwhile he's trying so hard not to laugh his ass off

Since you're able to do nsfw now, any spicy headcanons for Jel?

Order up! (also I made this color pop edit with Google Photos, anyone is free to use it! I thought it was so so cool)

NSFW (18+)

Jel . . .

is a true switch, a total 50/50. He's a people pleaser, and loves to get you off, but he also loves when you take the reigns and give him the night of his life. When it comes to sex, Jel wants absolutely everything to be perfect. He needs atmosphere, longing, desperation! He'll set the mood with lit candles, some scented. All of the scents he lights contain aphrodasiacs, like jasmine. His room (or at least the section that contains his bed) is spotless, with no clutter to distract you two. He wants you to be as comfortable as possible while getting you in the same mood he experiences. He takes his time. There will be a LOT of slow kissing and grinding. Jel'll use it for teasing occasionally, because sometimes he's playful, but most of the time it's just to bask in how happy you make him. Although he's eloquent and often tries to describe how you make him feel, he feels that he can never truly explain with words how much he loves you. So, he'll express his feelings with slow, thoughtful bumps and grinds, kisses and lovebites, until you can't take anymore and you're begging for him. Jel's a reactionary moaner when it comes to you addressing him; if he hears your erotic begging and requests for him to fuck you, he can't help but let out small moans of delight. He's not used to being desired like this. You make Jel feel loved and wanted, how could he not repay you for all you've given him?

Jel loves being serviced by you because of that fact, too. Your service and love feels like he found it with luck, or a gift he doesn't deserve—yet he can't stop wanting it. Being submissive to you makes Jel forget all the worries and woes in his life. When you're taking care of him, making him groan, whine, and writhe, nothing else matters. He wants nothing more than to be completely yours. Jel would do anything for you, he would die for you, and he can't believe you return his passion. And Jel has an intimidating amount of passion for you; he may start soft and slow at the start when on top, but his emotions always make him lose control. His heart is ablaze when his pace is high, because all the feelings he's been unable to vocalize comes out in how he fucks you. Well, perhaps "fucking" is the wrong word. Jel doesn't like that. Sex is not just sex for him. It's his way of connecting directly to your soul, of telling you all the ways you drive him crazy without having to say a word.

Jel is absolutely into kink. He loves praise and worship, bondage, edging, denial, overstimulation. Yes, it makes him a bit of a scoundrel, in his own terms, but you make it soooo fun. Jel loves how dangerous you make him feel whenever he can tie you in intricate shibari or ribbons, or sweetly tease you as he watches you cum for the 3rd time in a row on his lap. Jel loves your struggle, although he tries not to be overly domineering when in a position of power. Also, side note: Jel will NOT indulge in degradation kinks! Over his dead body will he call his muse a whore or a slut, even if it is just play; he adores you too much.

You are Jel's equal, his soulmate, his lover. Jel wants to cherish you, love you, and keep you high on him. You are his everything, and he doesn't care how obsessive that may seem. It's just how he feels. You drive him wild with raw emotion. Jel desperately longs to show you just what you make him experience on the daily—how you make his heart (and other things) throb, spine chill, and head rush with delightful chemicals. Bottom line is, Jel is rhapsodically in love with you, and he's going to show every ounce of the desire he has for you.

I recently wrote a post asking if any of you think Jon Snow is actually dead. I got likes, but no response. I had to be sure I wasn't the only one thinking this way, so I copied a comment from RyanBarnes13 on Reddit, and I agree with him and a few others as well.

RyanBarnes13:

He’s alive. Aemon has that dream vision on the trip where he wakes up and is almost desperate to tell Jon " cold preserves." The first was a non- fatal neck cut. 2nd was a belly stab, (depending on where) could miss all vitals. 3rd stab was in the shoulder blades. So into the bones, not organs. He fell to the snow. And never felt the 4th blade. It's very, very likely that Jon wasn't actually stabbed a 4th time. (All he felt was the cold)

The key thing is the SNOW, it actually freezes and stops the blood loss which is what actually saves most stabbing or shooting victims. People have laid in SNOW for 12 plus hours and recovered from what should be a very fatal wounds.

Yes he will warg into ghost, and he is probably unconscious and in a coma like state. Jon has to finish the crypt dream of Winterfell that he continues to have,and wakes up from. This time he will finish it, and will talk to the wolf he saw in the last iteration.

And yes the regular science will confound everyone, and after sewing or burning his wounds, Melisandre will light a fire, put Jon there and the rapid warmup will help Jon recover and voila!!!!!!! A miracle!!!

Edit: actually if you look at the very last sentences, he falls first, does not feel a fourth stab, cause there is no stab, he does not warg, he only feels the cold. He is laying in snow. So he is still in his body. He calls to Ghost for help.

“Jon fell to his knees. He found

the dagger’s hilt and wrenched it free. In the cold night air the wound was smoking. “Ghost,” he whispered. Pain washed over him. Stick them with the pointy end. When the third dagger took him between the shoulder blades, he gave a grunt and fell face-first into the snow. He never felt the fourth knife. Only the cold …”

— George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones 5-Book Boxed Set by George R. R. Martin

That belly punch is the big if. If he hit organs yeah it’s a slow septic death if Jon survived the initial stabbing. But it reads like it wasn’t near as bad of a stab. Bowen Marsh is crying unlike the others. Reads like he still isn’t quiet 100% on doing it. And definately is lacking the fighting skills. He punched Jon. And the dagger stayed when he let go. That says it went in deep enough to stay in. But who the hell stabs a guy and it is described as a punch????? Seems off.....

But unlike nowadays they stabbing into lots of muscles. Not fat. It’s a lot harder to cut through.

We actually had a soldier in Iraq that worked out all the time in our free time, he got shot in the abdomen. Turns out working out saved his dam life, the bullet hit the ab muscles and it actually stopped the bullet before it penetrates to the organs. Honestly we all worked out after that. Protein shakes and weights for the whole platoon.

But that’s what I’m seeing described more in this stabbing.

*This last comment comes from: BowTiesAreCool86

"Oh, you think he's dead, do you?" - GRRM.

Also, from another interview

I: "Getting stabbed to death by one of his friends?"

GRRM: "Wait til the next book"

I think he'll be pulled back from the brink, a more successful spell than was worked on Khal Drogo, but it will cost him part of his "soul" in one way or another.

* I personally think Jon will be in a coma like Bran was and he will Warg his wolf. From there Jon will learn of his abilities with the help of Bloodraven and Bran. I also think Jon is more powerful than Bloodraven AND Bran. Jon will probably be allowed to leave the wall when Rob's WILL surface which is SOON, or the Northerners will come together and will be Jon's "get out of jail free" card.

As far as they know he is the last living son of Ned Stark, and they would rather see a Stark in Winterfell than the Bolton's or Stannis. They are bidding their time, but Jon is in grave danger even at the wall as we already know. I'll say this until the books prove me wrong: Satin had something to do with Jon's stabbing. He is "the hidden dagger."

Things will change BIG TIME once Sansa Stark makes it to Castle Black as well. These are my thoughts on Jon Snow. Everyone automatically assumed he died and the theories I read of his return are totally unbelievable. YES, he will be a changed man and NO he will NOT be some zombie who can't communicate or stuck in Ghost.

No one ever talks about Jon's unnatural super strength. They showed a little in the show, but not enough. Jon has the blood of the 1st men and old Valyria. He is full of ancient magic that he isn't even aware of. His near death experience and being in Ghost's skin will change EVERYTHING. I also happen to believe that Jon is a greenseer and will find out of his heritage himself.

Jon might die later in the series and be brought back, but as for now; Jon lives. Any thoughts? 😊

Joel made a face. "That's code for you want to ditch us and hang out with your boyfriend, isn't it?" The seventeen year old muttered, annoyed.

When meeting with Jimmy’s friend, Grian and Joel find themselves face to face with a difficult choice.

Fic under the cut

"Hey, Martyn said that he and his brother are here too, what do you guys think about meeting up with them?" Nineteen year old Jimmy asked, as he and his brothers walked into the crowded amusement park.

Joel made a face. "That's code for you want to ditch us and hang out with your boyfriend, isn't it?" The seventeen year old muttered, annoyed. 

"But Martyn said they weren't boyfriends," their youngest brother, Grian, interjected. 

Joel gave the fourteen year old a judging look. "And you believed him?"

"Well, yeah-"

Joel rolled his eyes, which infuriated Grian. 

"What, do you expect me to just assume people are lying to me? I-"

Jimmy suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, causing the other two to walk straight into him.

"Hey, why'd you stop..." Joel began but the words died on his lips when he saw who Jimmy was looking at. "Please tell me that's not Martyn."

Jimmy shook his head, and that was when the man in question noticed them, and waved. "Jimmy! Hey!"

He seemed cheerful, a stark contrast to the Badboys' looks of horror, but it wasn't Martyn who scared them.

"Hi!" his brother greeted, surprisingly cheerful, "Martyn's told me a lot about you. I'm Scott."

Jimmy didn't understand why he was being so polite, but he wasn't going to push it. His brothers however...

He glanced over to see Joel just stood there, frozen, and Grian looked like any second he was going to start yelling at Scott.

"Hi Grian! And Joel, it's nice to meet you!" Martyn said cheerfully.

Joel snapped out of his stupor and nodded. "It's, uh, nice to meet you too." He then gave Grian a kick on the ankle to make him stop giving Scott the evil eyes. 

"Hey!" Was his exclamation.

"Joel!" Jimmy scolded, seeing Martyn's surprised expression.

"You know what, why don't you two go off and do your own thing? I already know Joel from school so we'll be fine," Scott said suddenly, not giving the others a choice as he dragged Grian and Joel away from their brothers, much to their dismay.

"Oh- ok? Have fun," Martyn called after them, before turning back to Jimmy. "Brothers, right?"

Jimmy laughed awkwardly. "Yeah..."

~~~

Grian wrenched his arm free from Scott's grasp. "Let go of me!"

Scott then let go of Joel, who rubbed his wrist before narrowing his eyes at his nemesis. "What the blummin' hell was that?"

"What was what?" Scott questioned nonchalantly, though his lips were whining up at the side. 

"You were being nice!" Grian spat. "To your arch-enemy!"

"Seriously, why do you think we're enemies-"

"That's beside the point. Does Martyn know about us?" Joel inquired.

"You and me? Sort of. Me Jimmy and Grian? God no," Scott replied. "If he knew about that Martyn would never forgive Jimmy. He's protective like that."

"Then why-"

"Because their friendship is important to Jimmy."

"What?" Joel asked, dumbfounded.

"It would be awful if someone were to tell Martyn who cornered me in an alley and tried to beat me up."

Grian and Joel were silent for a beat as they comprehended Scott's words. "You're blackmailing us?!" Grian exclaimed.

"Yup," Scott admitted.

Grian was about to break out into a rant about how they would never bend to Scott's will, but Joel cut him off. "What do you want?"

"Joel? He's your enemy!"

"I know," Joel sighed, and with great difficulty he added, "but Jim's kind of a loser."

"Well obviously," Grian agreed, though he couldn't understand the relevance. "That doesn't mean we have to bend to the will of your enemy!"

"If Martyn stops being friends with him, he'll have no one," Joel explained, "which'll be sad."

Grian frowned, while Scott checked his watch. "Guys, I'm going to need a decision soon."

"...fine," Grian forced out through gritted teeth. "What do you want?"

Scott smiled in a sickly sweet way that made Grian and Joel regret their decisions. "I want you two to be nice to me!"

The others stopped. "What?" Joel asked.

"You heard me. I want you guys to stop plotting my demise, or whatever it is you do when you think of me."

Joel clenched his fist. "Where to first, Scott?" The way he said it was a little passive aggressive, but he figured it was better than Dumbstupidface.

Scott considered it for a moment, even tapping his finger against his chin for effect before deciding "let's go on the carousel!"

~~~

Jimmy was nervous, and it wasn't because he was alone with Martyn. Why wasn't he saying anything? If Jimmy had learned that Martyn was bullying one of his brothers, he wouldn't forgive him, and Scott didn't have a reason to keep their secret. At least, as far as Jimmy was aware of.

"So, what's Scott like?" Jimmy asked casually, hoping he'd be able to get some information out of him. "Does he get into much trouble?"

Martyn shook his head. "Not really, he's a good student, always gets his homework done," Martyn replied, as they walked by different carnival games offering cheap prizes.

"A lot more than what can be said about me," he added lightheartedly, a short laugh following the statement. "What about you? Are Grian and Joel troublemakers?"

"Don't get me started, no one knows how to wreck my head like Grian does," Jimmy told him, his eyes wide and serious. This made Martyn laugh. "And Joel, well, he has his moments." Like with your brother, for example, Jimmy added in his head.

"They sure can be a handful," Martyn agreed. "But, Scott's still my brother, and there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect him."

"Yeahhh," Jimmy responded, and while he shared the sentiment one hundred percent, he didn't think this boded well for him. 

"Anyway! Why don't we go on the rollercoaster?" Jimmy asked, taking a sudden turn from the conversation at hand and where it may lead. 

"Sure!" Martyn smiled, happy with the idea. Thank god.

Jimmy just hoped that, whatever reason Scott had for not telling his brother about him, that Joel and Grian didn't mess it up for him.

~~~

“Isn’t this fun?” Scott called out, as they rode around the carousel for the fifth time.

“No.” Grian responded flatly.

“Can’t we go on something else?” Joel asked, “This is bor-“ Scott gave him a look- “brilliant!” Joel amended, smiling at the blue-haired boy, when in actuality he wanted to tear his head off.

Once the ride stopped, Scott cheerfully hopped off, while Grian and Joel gave each other fed up looks as they did the same.

All day they had been following Scott around, doing what he wanted to do, all so Jimmy wouldn’t be friendless. It would even be alright if he wanted to do the fun things like the rollercoaster, but nooo, all Scott wanted to do was the carousel, and the teacups and the other boring baby rides. Maybe he was doing it on purpose, waiting to see how long until they break.

“What do you want to do now, Scott?” Joel asked.

“Hmm,” Scott took a moment to consider this, rocking back and forth on his heels as he did so. “How about we go on the teacups again?”

Grian snapped. “That’s it! I am done!”

“Grian-” Joel tried to interject, but Grian fully ignored him.

“No! I’m sick of going on the dumb rides Scott wants to and having to play nice! And if it means he tells Martyn what we did then so be it! In fact, I’ll go tell him myself!”

“Hold on!-“

“Grian, wait!” Scott jumped in front of Grian’s determined stride, his arms stretched out on either side of him. “Don’t tell Martyn!”

“Why? You want to do that yourself to make Jimmy look as awful as possible, huh?” Grian spat.

Scott quickly shook his head. “No! Truth is, other than Jimmy, Martyn doesn’t have many friends either. I was just bluffing.” He added a cheeky smile to the end, as if that made it any better.

“…Are you kidding me?!?!” Joel exclaimed, before launching himself at Scott.

Nobody had time to react as the pair hit the ground, with Joel gripping Scott’s shoulders and shaking them. “You conniving little!-”

“Joel!!!” Jimmy quickly pulled his brother off of Scott, pure fear painted across his face. “What are you doing?!”

Martyn was also there, and he looked surprised as well.

“He started it!” Joel insisted, trying to free himself from Jimmy’s grip.

“You’re not allowed to fight people!” Jimmy reminded him, which was fairly rich coming from him but their company called for it.

“We were just playing,” Scott explained, getting up from the ground.

“In public?” Martyn asked, a lot calmer than Jimmy.

Scott shrugged. “You know how it is.”

Martyn sighed. “Maybe we’ve all had enough for today, do you guys want to go get food or something?” 

“Ok!” Scott agreed chirpily.

Martyn turned to the Badboys, who still looked a bit like rabid pack animals.

“Sure,” Jimmy said, dropping Joel.

“Ow!”

“As long as I don’t have to pay,” Grian said, walking over to join Martyn. The latter laughed at that.

“Alright then- let’s go!”

And so, the day out continued, and no friendships were destroyed in the process.

[turbo-systems]

damn i never noticed that, poor dude is depressed having a breakdown in the rain and then going to church to pray the heartache away will his suffering ever end 💔 he finally went indoors tho

please do yap about it i'm very interested :)

i think when he's not locked in he just doesn't give a shit he'll say anything like in ienomi where he made dirty jokes about his ex wife and his gf at the time

okkie so MAKES REVOLUTION technically doesn't have a theme since its his debut album but it was meant to be just a provocative eyecatcher. Restoration Level 3 was meant to be the 3rd Level TMR has reached, being that MAKES REVOLUTION was first level and the summer tours at the time was the 2nd level. This ties into LEVEL 4 since it was meant to extend the project further down the line. Then there's the Joker tours, okay for clarification, Joker '97 (or Jorker if u wanna go by the official trading card name) Triple Joker, King of Joker and Joker Type 2 are all different things. Joker '97 is the name of the live tours TMR did right after Restoration Level 3. Triple Joker is the name of the album, KING OF JOKER was the main concert for 98 while Joker Type 2 was the tours that were happening right before the FORCE era. Notably, the main theme song for that time, Joker, refers to the theme of the album which was TMR going crazy somehow. KING of JOKER is more complicated because there's like 4 costumes but the main two (both on the left) are the ones used for the concert. From looking at the concert itself, I guess it represents a transformation to a beast I think.

Joker Type 2 is just military themed. The Force on the other hand is more sillier and vibrant. The Force was made to represent both the Force from Star Wars and the force of nature referencing off of the album cover. For this one, I guess the apparent theme is just death and life from what u can see, also this is the first album to show two TMRs interacting with each other, kinda like Seventh Heaven but more older.

Now for TMR-E, this is a doozy because this is the most apparent time in the project where there was a storyline actually in the making. So right after LIVE REVOLUTION '99 THE FORCE, both Takanori and DA sealed up TMR and started to work on TMR-E together which was meant to be like a continuation sort of thing. The storyline for this was that they died and had to find their way back to unseal TMR. Storywise, the MV of Kageroh shows the both of them covered in blood and beaten up, representing the death of them emotionally and physically. Gekkoh was the point where they were ascending up to the moon but started to break free from their emotionless prison, seeing that Takanori at some point starts to visibly show anger towards the viewer. Winter Dust is the last of the MV and shows them attempting to unseal the project within the moon. Despite this being the last TMR-E MV, the project actually didn't get unsealed until the LIVE ARENA '2000 concert (aka my favorite concert). The concert was amazing because it depicts the unsealing in the most awesome and TMR way possible. Not only did TMR and DA change the concert's theme to orchestra to synth rock, they blew up the damn sealings in Winter Dust and started playing bangers. Now, it might be obvious that BLACK or WHITE vers 3 is ofc included in the story but HEAT CAPACITY also plays a part in this. (also to mention that the star motif used in TMR-E is also used in the MV for Heat Capacity) The thing with Heat Capacity was that it was meant to be an angier parody of the already popular TMR songs HIGH PRESSURE and HOT LIMIT with the recording crew being in the background and being about summer. Instead of this song being like 'Im freaky and I wanna be with you!' the song takes a more dreaded approach as the song is about TMR feeling intense anxiety/frustration and dealing with them incorrectly through power. And I guess how Progress fits here is that the album represents a Progress forward for TMR. The main theme of the album is TMR trying to find his way within the subways of London, maybe being an indirect sequel to the Der Freischutz/LOVE SAVER storyline. The album is way more somber compared to the FORCE but switches up as it goes from hopeless to hopeful, sorta like a realization that you can't be in despair all the time. Anyways, thats it for now, I would love to get into coordinate, seventh heaven and esp vertical infinity but those are way more complicated than the first few albums, hope u enjoy this yap session

ALSO PLEASE TELL ME WTF TMR SAYS IN HIS IEMOMI SESSIONS IM BEGGING

[the-gateway-to-madness]

So anyway Ducktales 2017 is super fun for me because I'm literally exactly like Louie except I have a deep-rooted fear of becoming him because I live in reality and not a mansion-

There's satisfaction for him in finding loopholes, putting together the pieces in various situations, and being the strategist, but at the same time he can't think too much about the future or he'll stress out (given the fact the creators of the show confirmed Louie is like this because he grew up poor and took on a lot of that pressure emotionally, I assume that's part of why he doesn't plan for his future, but anyway-).

For him, that means coming up with strategies and tactics in the moment, on adventures. For me, that means finding ways to carefully integrate fictional characters and OCs into established worlds, analyzing things and picking them apart. Either way, we're not planning ahead all that far, both trying to escape reality.

And he's smart. Like, REALLY smart. But he's insecure about it because he's not book-smart in a family that really values book-smart. His family never really makes him feel bad for not being their kind of smart, just for the actions that stem as a result of it (his schemes, for example). You can tell they don't understand how he thinks, except Della (i, too, have a parent who gets me and a parent who does Not), and he has a lot of emotionally vulnerable moments with her because of that.

He only lets down his guard and genuinely connects with people he really feels get him, even though he's very eloquent and perfectly capable of casual connections with almost anyone. Same. I'm deeply, almost self-damagingly empathetic- my emotional attachments are a point of great vulnerability for me. I've chosen to embrace that vulnerability and the closeness and care it can bring me, but that's not a very natural choice for Louie like it is for me.

A lot of society only really seems to value "math-smarts", like what Huey has- more rigid intelligence, strong memorization of facts and figures, and being adept with numbers if you're lucky. But Louie has "language-smarts". Flexible, adaptable to different situations, but wow you don't come off as smart most of the time when you're this kind of smart. I was reading at a 12th grade level in 3rd grade- I know for a fact I grasp the English language at an abnormal level. But that intelligence really isn't applicable in a lot of situations, and I 100% recognize the form of lacking-self-esteem that comes with it- the form Louie shows consistently in season 2. For him, his linguistic, flexible, imaginative intelligence comes out as strategizing, lying, and scheming. For me, it comes out as quick, easy storytelling/writing with friends.

We share an ability to see patterns others don't while missing the patterns others do see.

Our kind of intelligence comes with this- very basic level of practicality. I hate sports because they seem unnecessary, over-hyped. I don't want to do a lot of very societally normal things because they seem convoluted and not necessary for happiness. I engage with television and movies because I find the construction of story and characters fascinating.

It all makes me feel like I'm lazy or can't ever do enough because I just... don't have an interest in a lot of things that people think one should. It's like- there's this level of intrinsic, constant self-awareness and practicality in me, to the point where I feel incapable of engaging with anything that doesn't interest me.

Combine that mentality with the burnout and emotional strain of being under severe financial pressure your entire life and, more specifically, not being able to do anything about it or get out of it- so why try to do anything at all? -, and bam, you get Louie Duck. He's motivated by money because to him money = comfort, and comfort = safety.

I also started consciously knowing what it'd be like and feel like when my childhood ended at something like- age 15 or 16. I was desperate to cling to the freedom, the lack of responsibility, the privilege of a safety net- for years. I see some of that in Louie too.

Oh, and of course Bobby Moynihan sold it. Really just went all in on giving Louie depth and feeling, 10/10 incredible performance-

Point is, it's cool to see someone who thinks like me actually portrayed pretty accurately onscreen. Thanks @suspendersofdisbelief :)

Remember the Marigold getting murdered Scenerio

Imagine it’s the 3rd day of trial, Phoenix is defending Godot

(bonus is it’s with the help of Maya who managed to spirit channel a particularly determined and bitter Mia)

and Phoenix has finally found out who the real killer is

A older (16) boy who went to the neighboring high school, who Marigold caught dealing drugs before stabbing her

And as Phoenix presses him to get him to confess on the stand the boy finally snaps and says

“It’s that bitch’s own fault she’s dead!”

“All she had to do was shut her mouth!”

“I told her I would let her go with no issues if she kept her mouth shut!”

“But that stupid girl just had to keep going on about how “I had to pay for what I did””

“Going on about “upholding justice” like her stupid whore of a mother did, and like her idiot uncle or something would do, and like her fool of father would want her to do”

“If anything, her father should go to jail for raising her to be a god damn idiot!”

“My parents raised me for success, and I wasn’t about to let some dumb bitch fuck it all up”

How would old Godot, sitting in the defendant’s chair, and Uncle Phoenix at the defense table react to that

(And Ghost Mia for the bonus)

The knowledge that she died trying to make them proud of her

[I’ve been watching a lot of homicide documentaries and things in courtroom outbursts]

Poor Marigold Fey was in the wrong place, wrong time. This reminds me of the Aiden Fucci case--a 14 year old boy who killed 13-year old Tristyn Bailey via 114 stabs.

Mari probably caught the guy meeting up with someone else near a forested area and tried to run away to notify the police, but he caught her by the wrist and dragged her into the woods. Then stabbed her until she stopped talking or make any kind of sounds for good. Mari had died at the scene long before anyone found her body.

Imagine if on day 1 of the trial, it began as a missing person's case. Marigold wasn't found out to be dead yet, but she was missing and hasn't come home in quite some time. She missed classes which was entirely unlike her, and Godot, whom she lives with, hasn't seen her come home. Throughout the trial, Godot is upset, mind racing, trying to think of where she could be and what happened to her. It's tough simply not having answers of what happened to your own child. At this time, the most likely suspect was Godot. He was the closest one to Mari, and Mari wasn't known to have enemies. He must have done something to her, right?

They don't have a body or any signs that there was violence or bloodshed during the investigation, so they don't accuse Godot of murder. Yet.

Then they find Mari's body, cold and lifeless, stuck with several knife wounds all over. It's a bloody, tragic mess. And when Godot hears of the news not just of his daughter's violet death but that the blame was being focused on him, his heart breaks. There's simply no coming back from this. He could never heal from someone so dear being ripped from his heart again.

At first, it's his bitterness and anger that keeps him fighting, but by day three when the truth is revealed, Godot is simply burned out. He has no more energy to fight. Only despair. He lost everything all over again, and when he's found not guilty and allowed to walk as a free man again, he'll never feel free. He'll never feel okay again. The whole point of living, to work his coffee shop, to stay among the living was to support his daughter. It was pointless now.

I imagine that after this trial is over with, after that kid was put away for life, after the funeral for Marigold finally ended, and she was laid to rest, something changed in Godot. He looked older, frailer. Quieter and lived like a shut-in. Feenie tries to check-in with him, but Godot hardly responds. He essentially fades out, and the memory of him stays a memory for Pheonix, Maya, and everyone else who knew him.

Every father's day and every one of Marigold's birthdays and major holidays, Godot visits Marigold's grave to lay flowers at her tombstone and spend some time with her. And he prays. He takes comfort in knowing that Mari is up there with her mother, and someday, he'll be with them too. He hasn't touched her room since her death was announced. Her bed was still unmade, her clothes strewn over her desk chair for days since Godot told her to put it all in a laundry basket. He would never touch any of it as if he was trapped in a delusion that she would come back home someday.

Do you think that if Maya or Pearl channeled Mia and let her speak to Godot that Mia would say that Marigold is doing ok now? Would Mia even know? Or maybe they would channel Marigold and let her talk and describe where she is. Or maybe the ghosts simply don't know where they are and their memories are limited to the physical world.

Either way, it'd be sweet if Godot could talk to Mari from time to time. It might be another reason to live--if he could only hear her daughter's voice. Even now, Godot spends a lot of time sipping coffee and thumbing through Marigold's scrapbook, looking over her baby pictures, her kid pictures, her quinceañera pictures, etc, etc. She was a princess through and through. His princess.

And sometimes...Uncle Feenie and Aunt Maya join Godot in visiting Marigold's grave. She was buried next to her mother, Mia. And they reminisce about Marigold, all the cute stories of her childhood, that time she spilled the coffee beans all over the kitchen floor, the way she looked just like a princess during her quinceañera, her first dance with her father, all those pictures she drew in crayons of everyone close to her, how bright she was.

Her mother would be proud of her. Her father most certainly is.

I have like. Zero energy today to do anything more than this. so here r some info pages for my It Lives mcs! if you wanna know more about any of them feel free to shoot me an ask <3

Devi Casil

ILITW MC

he/him, but any pronouns work

genderqueer

born October 3rd, 1999

died 3 days before his 18th birthday & was resurrected half a month before his 22nd

5'10 but wears thick soled stompy goth boots that bring him over 6'

LI: Noah

on somewhat shaky terms with Jory because he's kind of pissed that Jory gets to live a more normal life. he tries not to let that effect their relationship but man. it's hard.

on horrible terms with Dent

because of the murder.

fucking shreds at Through The Fire And The Flames on Guitar Hero, even after he comes back to life and struggles with his motor function

his hair is actually 3C curls and the under half is dyed purple

more info can be found about him here

Harper Vance

ILB MC

he/him

trans man

born April 13, 1998

5'4

LI: Tom

he's super friendly and cheerful, and way too psyched about get into fights. he wants to be a pro wrestler

at the same time, he'll try and defuse fights by saying "woah, hey I'm just a little guy! and it's my birthday! I'm just a little birthday boy. you wouldn't hit a little birthday boy?" it really depends on the context of the fight

"has killed before" is in reference to Richard

"will kill again" is in reference to Dent

he and Jory are chill

wishes he could have helped Grandma Josephine move on more peacefully

lowkey struggles with the fact that he killed someone, even if that someone was a huge jackass that really deserved it. especially because that someone's son is dating his brother. plus like who's he supposed to tell? how is he supposed to get therapy for that? "hey i killed someone but it's okay because he tried to kill me first"? yeah. no.

Jory Fields

ILW MC, blood ending

he/him

trans man

born July 7, 1999

died in August 2016 but was brought back by Loha the same day

6'0

LI: Abel

really sarcastic most of the time, but knows when to dial it back. there's being a jokster and there's being a dick and he knows where that line is

lost his eye. wears an eyepatch so people know he can't see through it, but has a bunch of neat prosthetics, which he jokingly compares to wearing lingerie under regular clothes. like having a spicy little secret throught the day.

........he's probably wearing lingerie under his regular clothes, actually

as much as he loves his fully human life, sometimes he feels a sort of.... survivor's guilt? for not fixing the breach and giving his friends the oppertunity to live a more normal, human life.

but ultimately he is very happy with his decision. he loves his life with his silly dorky husband and wouldn't trade it for anything

he did fix Amalia's college issues the second he realized he could! he'd never forgive himself if he hadn't

he did enjoy fighting monsters, but he's glad he doesn't have to anymore

Arthur "Dent" Hemmings

ILW MC, betrayal ending

he/him

the group's token cis boy :(

born January 1, 1999

died in August 2016 but was brought back by Loha the same day

5'8

had the strongest relationship with Lincoln before Everything Went Down, but didn't end up dating him because Joss overheard him being a dick about stringing everyone along

he was also FWB with Jocelyn

and he fucked Luis

and Marianthe

and he wanted to fuck Abel as well but he wasn't close enough with him

and yet for some reason he was Deeply Offended when Connor called him a slut, despite the fact he knew full well he was toying with everyone's emotions with no intentions to stop 🤔

ultimately (obviously) he ends up with Matthias

or maybe he kills Matthias to have the power all to himself

or he could have been sacrificed by Devi to become the new anchor

OR. maybe he and Matthias got a divorce and now he's living it up using his powers to manipulate mansplain malewife people into giving him nice things

honestly i love all of these endings for him & they're all equally canon. in my heart.

anyway. he's an agressive asshole who puts himself first & will royally fuck over everyone around him if it means he gets to have his fun

he did Not fix Lia's college issues. or tell anyone that he's the power made human until he was forced to

he would have just let Connor stay a horror had Noah and Devi not been there

The Real Dent Hemmings absolutely hates what faker Dent is doing with his life and had a hard time moving on because of it. he was still a bit of a brash asshole, but he wouldn't have done any of the shitty things faker Dent did

honestly if Real Dent had been the one to make the final decision, he would have merged with the power to close the breach for good. he's a hardass, but he'll do the right thing no matter what

I love Mimir so much...can you talk a little bit about her and Woljif's relationship? What draws them to each other? Do you have any particular headcanons about how they fall in love?

Thank you for the ask!

BRUH I CAN TALK ABOUT THIS STUFF FOR HOURS

Oh, I believe that Mimir at first takes interest in Woljif purely due to the fact that she had spent almost her whole life under big brother's care, kind of like a caged bird, only that she holds no grudges against her brother, while Woljif seemed to be so free, he could go anywhere he wanted and do anything he wanted. Close to the old dynamic of a good girl and a bad boy.

Soon enough she starts finding out about deeper aspects of Woljif's personality and how he became this way which makes her more sympathetic towards him.

Woljif would be at first really ecstatic to tell about how cool of a thief he is as well as a shit ton of made up stories but, when Mimir digs deeper and still acts nice with him, he'll be tense and, I guess, would even try to push her away, thinking she's trying to get under his skin. He never had anyone try to be this close to him and he doesn't like feeling this vulnerable.

And, don't get me wrong, Mimir's first intention was never to hook Woljif or anything, she is falling for this adorable dumbass in the process of trying to help him with his personal stuff. It's just how she is, she feels like she needs to help people in order to make a difference. She likes to believe there is good in the most people. And when she sees how her actions affect Woljif positively she falls for him more and more.

I like to think that Mimir begins to have a crush on Woljif somewhere in the end of the 3rd chapter while Woljif has it already maybe a month after returning to her party in the beginning of the same chapter. He feels SO conflicted. He knows it won't do him any good, trusting people is a big no no. He hopes it will go away but it DOESN'T and he tries to hide it.

And honestly one of my favorite headcanons is how in Ygefeles mansion Woljif calls Mimir "a friend" but it takes so much to say that, he wants them to be more than friends but he's afraid to say it out loud, it's the only meaningful relationship he ever made in his life and he is afraid that trying to take the next step might ruin their friendship. But hey, lol, I mean, if I made all these pics then it means Mimir accepted his confession at some point ok

But don't let my sweet talking fool you lmao, Mimir and Woljif are both traumatized as all heck and needed to work through it as they got into relationship

|| my brain will NOT stop running soooooo here, have some thoughts for my TWST oc based on Elsa~ (and i may give him other verses if i add him so check this out~)

Thinking his name should be something like Isfrid...idk what his last name should be. But he essentially looks like the male version of Elsa. Pretty snow-white hair, crystal blue eyes, just gorgeous~ Isfrid is a fairy but he uses magic to make his ears round and his eyes normal. I think I want him to go to RSA, and he's in a specific dorm that my sister made~ (i may go into more detail later XDD)

I don't know the name of his signature spell, but its ability allows him to turn things into ice/freeze things. He can't actually create ice or snow. However, he can turn water in the air into ice (this is very difficult unless it's super humid outside). However, this power is so strong that it's hard to control. He doesn't want to touch anyone because it's just too easy for him to turn them to ice. He must remain completely emotionless/disconnected or else the air around him will get colder and the ground beneath his feet will freeze.

Adding onto this, he can also unfreeze things, but he isn't naturally at the point where he realizes this. If he thinks happy and warm thoughts, even if the emotions are very strong, nothing will freeze. However, he distances himself so much that he rarely ever feels such warmth. Alanna makes him feel warm like this, but he doesn't realize that it's nullifying the effects of his bitter cold.

He and Alanna have no prior connections. They aren't actually related and only met once Alanna started to go to RSA. I think maybe they were paired up for a cross-class assignment on her first day of school (he's either a 2nd or 3rd year) and she's kind of clung to him since then. They are NOT shipped and they will never be shipped. They see each other as siblings now, but Isfrid is afraid of hurting her so he doesn't stand too close.

So his past is pretty jumbled... I have many ideas but no concrete storyline. Just know that wherever he's from, he was probably an important figure. However, something happened (likely a really big emotional outburst) that caused him to literally freeze the entire town and killed everyone who lived there. He then ran away and lived in cold isolation for a years (keep in mind that he's a fairy so he has a long life). At some point, he letter from RSA saying he was accepted into the school. He decided that a magic school may teach him how to control his magic, so he left his self-imposed prison of ice and pretended to be human as he attended school.

He never had a "Let It Go" moment, even though I added the song to his playlist. He's stuck in his "Monster" age, unfortunately~ When he ran away from his home, he never thought "well, I'm alone now so I can now be free!!" Instead, he just trapped himself in a cave and lost himself in the blizzard that came from his guilt and horror at what he did~

That's it for now!! Let me know if you guys are really interested in him and I may just add him to my blog~ Plus I'll probably give him more verses too, so he'll be flexible!! But I only want to add him if people show interest!!

My thoughts on Slaine Troyard over the years

1st watch

When I watched Aldnoah.Zero for the first time, I really pitied Slaine. I kept wishing for him to escape Mars and be free, so him being in prison at the end definitely bummed me out.

However, I was a devoted fan. I searched far and wide for A/Z promotional content. That's how I discovered Episode 24.5: Literary Fragments Of The Rain and the final episode of the Mahou Shoujo Seylum drama CD.

Furthermore, I stumbled upon an abridged translation of an interview with Aoki (one of A/Z's creators) who stated he does believe Slaine will get out of prison eventually, and although he doesn't give a timeframe, this poster implies Slaine was out of the prison in a few years.

With the knowledge that Slaine will leave prison (or more accurately - has already left since all that stuff is totally canon) and live a happy domestic life with Inaho, I wouldn't say my sympathy for him evaporated; rather, I thought, 'Oh, he'll be fine!'

2nd (plus?) watch

The next time I watched A/Z, I was more willing to see Slaine as a villain instead of just a victim, and I realized the ending was actually quite karmic.

For most of season 2, Slaine used a false version of Asseylum to promote a war she didn't believe in for his own motives, and when she tried to stop him, he imprisoned her. At the end of season 2, Slaine is in prison while a false image of him is used to quell further conflict.

3rd(?) watch

Now, rewatching A/Z as an adult, I've come to see Slaine as a tragic villain. After all, he was completely aware of the heinousness of his plan, but went through with it because he thought it was the only way. "If it must get worse before it gets better, then let the worst happen as soon as possible"—that's how I perceive Slaine's thought process.

Also, I finally noticed the imperialistic implications of his plans. Even though Slaine was never involved in the assassination plot, he still tried to cause an all-out war and conquer Earth, and honestly, he deserved jailtime for that. In fact, I'm glad he's miserable in the end because it proves he was a good person and is properly repenting.

If Asseylum and Inaho hadn't interfered, Slaine would've been miserable forever as a tyrant, whereas the canon ending is confirmed to lead to happiness.

Conclusion

Overall, I'm satisfied with Slaine's characterization. The torture scene was overkill, though. The tragedy he went through was necessary for him to stay sympathetic in the eyes of the audience as he walked the path of villainy. I wouldn't change much about Slaine. Inaho, on the other hand...

THINGS TO KNOW

credence has an intense case of "middle child syndrome," in which he's not quite the youngest or the oldest and never really excelled in anything as a child, so he ... how to say it ... acted out quite a bit as a child ( and now, as an adult ).

when his brother took the throne, credence essentially gave up on trying too hard - his logic is, why keep up the royal act if he'll never end up as king ? he never wanted to be, anyways, so in his eyes, he's home-free for the rest of his life and he can do whatever he wants

he's very disillusioned by royal life and, because of that, has dedicated himself to being an absolute shit. he's constantly causing trouble and making his family look bad. ( and he'd never admit it, but it's not for no reason ... he's a little jealous, maybe, of his family who's able to get it right so easily; he feels like it's always been hard for him to follow all these rules and therefore, why even try? )

he's quite rude. like, not in a mean way, but he just doesn't care much for niceties. he's the kind of person to cuss profusely at a dinner table full of nobles and to laugh when everyone gasps.

despite being crude, he's a generally nice person, he swears! he just wants to have fun more than he wants to tend to his royal duties.

he is, aside from that, extremely intelligent, and has always done fine in his studies. he's particularly fond of reading and poetry; despite being quite crude in his everyday life, he's very articulate and has countless books of his own writing ( which he'd rather die than show anyone ).

he also loves archery, and horseback riding. he'll take any opportunity to go hunting.

he's a massive flirt. he's used to charming his way in and out of situations and getting what he wants !

he sleeps around a LOT. like, a LOT. it's egregious. and he's not ashamed of it either.

he's a deeply insecure person and lashes out when he feels like he's being threatened or questioned, even when he's not.

Shay's sections are indented

@carpemitchell

Ash: Hey stranger! How was your Christmas?

Shay: hey! it was good! hectic with the kids and all. how about yours?

Ash: pretty quiet. Just me and the kids. It was nice actually having Brady home for Christmas this year.

Shay: Jensen didn’t want him this year? i’m glad you got to spend the time with him! how was aspens first christmas? i’m sure she got spoiled! ohhh you should be getting yours and the kids presents in the mail here soon!

Ash: Jensen and I aren't exactly speaking right now. We sent presents to Austin for JJ, Arrow, and Zeplin, and we dropped off presents here in LA for Jensen, Nina, and Matilda.

Shay: you're not? what happened? i thought things calmed down after aspen?

Ash: yeah, until he told me he proposed to Nina and they are planning on having another kid.

Shay: woah. what? he’s getting married again? and wants another kid? isn’t the six he has enough? although guess i can’t talk because i was begging jared a few months ago for one myself

Ash: that's what he said. he said they have fallen in love and he proposed. said nina wants another kid and he wants to make her happy so he'll give her how ever many more she wants.

Shay: how are you dealing with that?

Ash: I'm pissed! he swore to me that they would never be serious, and he always said he wanted his last kid to be with me. Now suddenly he's changing his mind because he's "in love"? I call bullshit. He's in love with someone new every year. Hell, this will be his 3rd marriage since we got divorces. Ash: Oh, and he said I'm a shit mom because I didn't tell him about Aspen until Jared told him.

Shay: 3rd marriage? i never even thought about that. that man has to chill. does he have a golden dick? like what do you ladies and misha even see in him? Shay: oh he did not call you a shit mom for that. life happens. sometimes telling someone you’re pregnant doesn’t work out

Ash: Yeah, Misha and Katie. I can't explain it. Ash: oh yes he did.

Shay: should have told me sooner. i would have went to la with jared and bitch slapped Jensen for you

Ash: haven't really felt much like talking about it. I'm just so angry at him right now. Ash: wait, Jared's in LA?

Shay: i get it. i would be too. now it’s time to find you a partner! Shay: he was. he had to pick sam up from lucy. went the other day, just got back today. got stuck in La yesterday

Ash: no one is waiting in line to date a single mom of 2. I've made peace with the fact I'm gonna be alone for eternity. Ash: Why didn't he call me? He could have stayed here!

Shay: babe, you’re not. any guy would be lining up for a date with you. There might be a hot single dad/mom out there for you! Shay: Idk. he wanted to stay in a hotel. he def could have stayed at my house too. he said his flight got delayed?

Ash: but I am babe. And that's okay. Just sucks that my last good fucking will have been with my jackass ex husband. Ash: delayed? a simple delay wouldn't cause him to stay over, unless it was cancelled.

Shay: what about a one night stand? get one last good fuck in there before you close up shop!

Ash: with who? I don't exactly go out anymore.

Shay: yeah idk. he didnt talk much about it. or why it happened

Ash: that sus

Shay: come to austin and we’ll find you a cowboy to ride Shay: it is sus.

Ash: riding a cowboy is what fucked up my life in the first place. I wouldn't mind coming to visit though. You guys doing anything for NYE?

Shay: okay maybe not a cowboy. or a better one. i found a good one… for the most part. we have no plans so far.

Ash: I'll think about it. Okay, talk to Moose. If he's cool with some visitors for NYE, we can be on a flight tomorrow.

Shay: ohhh yes! will talk to him asap!

Ash: And is NYE kid free or will you have the kids?

Shay: we’ll have rome and sam for sure.

Ash: okay cool. if you didn't have the kids, I would have asked Jensen's mom if she would like to take the kids for the night. I may end up doing that anyway so she can spend some time with them. I know Brady would love it.

Shay: okay so how about you have her watch your kids, we’ll get jared’s mom to watch ours and the three of us will go out?

Ash: not sure I want to be 3rd wheel going out on NYE.

Shay: i will be your wingwoman. i will find you someone Shay: let’s download raya

Ash: Yeah, not sure I'm a dating app person

Shay: not even raya? it’s not a normal dating app lol

Ash: the idea of online dating of any kind just creeps me out.

Shay: why?

Ash: IDK, it just does. Like, I don't know if I could trust that anyone I was talking to was telling me the truth and if I don't trust what they are saying, then there is no way I'd want to meet them IRL

Shay: girl raya is for CELEBS there’s probably people on there that you know! it’s not for random joes and bobs.

Ash: I'll think about it.

Shay: okay! let me know. i think it’d be good for you. just to get to talking to someone who isnt a kid.

Ash: Hey, I talk to people who aren't kids. I'm talking to you, aren't I? LOL

Shay: okay. people who aren’t kids or me.

Ash: I'm guessing my mom and sister don't count either?

Shay: absolutely not. i’m talking about people who will get between your legs.

Ash: and my gyno doesn't count?

Shay: ashley victoria benson stop. the only people who count are the ones who are devouring you and worshipping every inch of your body

Ash: LMFAO. The liklihood of that happening is slim to none.

Shay: nothing is slim to none. has it really been that long since a person has shown any interest in you?

Ash: well, let's see, Aspen is 10 months old, and the last time I had sex was when she was conceived. Before that, Chris was the last person but I fucked that up by running away, so yeah, it's really been that long since anyone has shown any interest in me.

Shay: why'd you run away from Chris?

Ash: because of stupid feelings. I could see a forever with him and that scared the crap out of me.

Shay: girlie you gotta stop running from your feelings. Shay: also hop on that flight, jare said he’s cool with you guys coming.

Ash: I know. Easier said than done though. Oh yay! I'll pack our bags and book a flight!

Shay: yay! let me know when you land, i’ll come pick you guys up from the airport!

Ash: on the plane. we land in 4 hours

Shay: that was fast! see you in a bit, babe!

Ash: I may have stayed up and packed bags last night in hopes Jared would say yes. All I had to do was book the tickets and get to the airport.

Shay: you should have just booked the flight right away. you know he was never gonna say no, right?

Ash: lol true
