#HELL YEAH GOD LET'S HAVE A CONVERSATION SHALL WE

[portuguesedisaster]

In today's edition of wtf did I just heard:

I just discovered that all my rights came from God.

[theminecraftbee]

Joel sits awkwardly at a family dinner table that isn’t for him.

It’s nice and all, he reckons, for Impulse’s family to invite him over after he leaves the hospital. Even before—everything—Joel’s family hadn’t really been the “big meal around a big table” type, so he’s getting some new experiences here too. And it’s nice and all, that they want to thank him for his role in finding Skizz.

But like. It’s not like he or Impulse or Skizz could explain how it happened, when asked. “Magic brain ghosts” and “evil butterflies” and “Joel still isn’t certain all of that was real and is trying to pretend it wasn’t” puts a damper on that. Also, adults are kind of shit at talking around the fact Joel’s whole family is dead, so he gets the sense he’s sort of harshing the vibes, you know?

Still. It’s a nice gesture. He guesses. It’s free food at least, which is decent, and as close as Impulse and Skizz are, every time one of Impulse’s family says something stupid, Skizz taps Joel’s leg with his foot or steals a roll or something, and it makes Joel feel…

He’d have been sad if Skizz had died, probably. Like, he wouldn’t know. He didn’t come here to make friends, he came here to get a degree and get out. Also, that’s stupid, because it’s not like Joel would have known he was missing a really awkward congratulatory family dinner in which Skizz kept on trying to sneakily steal beans. Probably would have just moved right on. He’s not… friendly.

But.

They stand outside afterwards, waving by to Impulse, promising to walk together so that neither of them Vanish. They’re quiet.

“Thanks, man. That meant a lot to them,” Skizz says.

“Yeah, well, I can do stupid things for free food,” Joel says.

Skizz laughs. “It was nice having you there, too. Man, they’re even worse with you! It’s like not knowing you means they’re even more awkward about family tragedy.”

“Trust me, most adults are way worse. You should see my social worker,” Joel says.

“Didn’t he ditch you, dude?”

“Haha, yeah, he did,” Joel says.

They stare up at the streetlamps together.

“I was really ready to go for a bit there,” Skizz says. Joel’s hackles raise. Oh no. Emotions. Bad. Go away. “It was like—man, it felt like the whole world was empty. But when you showed up, it’s like I remembered… I’d miss dinners, dude.”

“I have no idea why, that kinda sucked,” Joel says, baffled and sarcastic, because he’s a moron who can’t handle emotional conversations, this is why everyone avoided him at the funeral, stupid.

Skizz breaks out laughing.

“You’re great, man! I’m glad we met. Uh, my place is only a block away, and I won’t go following any stupid butterflies. See you at school?”

“Yeah man. See you,” Joel says—

I am thou.

Thou art I.

Thou hath formed a new bond.

With the power of the Chariot Arcana, you shall build the chains with which to hold on to reality.

RANK 1!

“What the hell?” Joel says, tripping over his feet. “What? What? Where did—what the fuck that wasn’t Pygmalion oh god do I have more than one voice in my head—”

“Dude, are you okay?”

Skizz’s almost frustratingly strong and comforting arms grab Joel.

“Tell me you heard that,” Joel says desperately.

“I—I don’t know what you’re talking about. I could take you back to the hospital—no?”

“I am either crazy or am going to end up in a government lab?” Joel says, voice getting high and squeaky.

“We can ask Mr. Hills about it? He came to talk to me after I woke up in the hospital, apparently he like, knows stuff,” Skizz says.

“I don’t wanna,” Joel says.

“Tough luck, buddy, you just almost fell over and cracked your head open!”

Suddenly, Joel remembers a long-nosed man and a blonde in a very blue boat. He remembers a cryptic conversation about bonds and power and their importance. He takes a deep breath. “Can you cover your ears for a moment?” he says.

“Yeah, sure thing, why—”

Joel, as loudly as he can, screams. He hears several birds fly away. He pants.

“…Joel,” Skizz says.

“Yeah thanks man don’t worry about it let’s never speak of this again I’m sure it’s nothing. I definitely didn’t have a weird dream about this and should go to bed.”

“Yeah, okay, whatever you say,” Skizz says cheerfully before laughing, which Joel continues grumbling about all the way back to his apartment.

[dairy-farmer]

Don't know about you? But you know what one of MY favorite multi set ups is? The sandwich. Just? "We are going to MELT YOUR BRAIN" from sensory onslaught and leaving you drooling.

And I'm just sayin >.> bet Damian? Would TOTALLY have a "do I hate you or am I desperately horny for you" complexe towards Tim? Maybe some sort of team up? Verbal jabs leading to physical as they are changing at a safe house. And suddenly they are wrestling like feral little shits.

Nearly naked. Writhing and grappling. Until Damian manages to land himself straddling on top of a suddenly frozen Tim, who lost because he became Hyper Aware of what he was DOING. And of course he is smug in his victory. No, no he doesn't think he SHALL get up.

Beg.

And Tim is trying so, SO hard not to reveal that that he's gotten, well, HARD. But of COURSE the little nightmare notices. This is it. Tim's life is over.

But instead? It's more mocking, challenging, goading. Oh, so you DO have taste. And such.

As Damian rocks his hips. Grinding and teasing. How? What!? Who TAUGHT him these things!? Tim can't think. It's been a WHILE. The friction is amazing. Damian is smug, finally, HE is the one with the undisputed upper hand.

Drake, at HIS mercy. Flushed and panting and a mess. To hell with undressing, he uses a batarang to cut their remaining underwear OFF. Grabs the lubricants from both their belts.

Has he done this before? No. Even EXPLORED that area? Perhaps. Out of medical curiosity, he assures you. But NOW? Now he NEEDS it. Wants to see Timothy fall APART beneath him. Be completely under HIS control.

So he stretchs himself with clumsy, inexperienced fingers. Rocks and rocks his hips, never enough, but always enough to torment and tease. Fascinated by the way Timothy flushes, shakes, claws desperately at the floor like it will grant him SOME form of control. Damian feels... POWERFUL.

And Tim? Is losing his MIND. What is he DOING? With DAMIAN of all people. He should stop. Needs to stop! But... but, ah, it feels? So GOOD? How is it so GOOD? Hot and rough but not hurting, teasing but not too light. Why the FUCK is he GOOD at this? Why is Tim LETTING him do this?

Yeah it's been a while, and his really horny, but this is-!!! Oh!

And... listen. Tim? Never really... Topped, before. Not that this FEELS like he is. Kon always wanted to put it in, and Tim was cool with whatever. Same with his other partners. So he's never... never...

T-Tight.

Hot and tight, fluttering like a slick vice around the tip of his cock. Slowly rocking and sinking DEEPER. Swallowing him alive. Ripping the air from his lungs. He couldn't be silent if he tried. He's gasping for air. Whining. Shaking as he tries desperately to hold still, to not buck into that amazing heat.

Then Damian's MOVING and he can't shut up. No wonder Kon was obsessed. He's babbling. Anything to make it continue. More. More! Please. God it's so TIGHT. Milking him. Wet and hot and greedy. His hips bucking franticly in the little space he's allowed, to meet the controlled rocking of the body above him.

But! Of course, you cant leave Tim and Damian ALONE too long. That always leads to violence, even if the ARE getting better. So Dick has to check on them, you know? Make sure things are civil. Be that needed buffer.

But? Huh. No shouting? No crashing? Just panting. Did they already tire themselves ou-...? And what should he walk in on? Damian. RIDING Timmy. Gasping and rocking as he takes his pleasure, like Tim was his own personal dildo. Timmy clearly LOSING it. Whimpering and neglected as he's used for pleasure but not givin enough.

It... it should NOT as instantly rock hard hot as it is. Damian and Tim, expressive and needy, where they are usually so closed off and withheld. Panting and moaning, limbs shaking, all but BEGGING to be held tight and...

His eyes drift to Tim spread legs. He's overheard enough conversations to know... Tim likes to TAKE it. He must feel so EMPTY. And, really, Damian's going to get NOWHERE awkwardly bouncing like he is. All he's doing is teasing both of them.

They really do... need someone... to show...them.......

He's undressing before the thought even fully develops. Swiping the actual lube from the bedroom and a pillow. Time to be a good big brother. Teach his baby bros how to REALLY do things.

Tim down right near sobs, when clever, LONG, fingers slide into his body. Expertly avoiding where he really, REALLY wants them. Mean. Please! Ah! But no, they stretch and slick. Rubbing him deep but not where he WANTS. It's almost too much.

And then it IS too much. Thick. Strong thighs and familiar hands, pushing his legs open, dragging him back to be IMPALED. A familiar face hooked over Damian's shoulder, smiling down at him. Dick is-? AH!

Tim's brain feels like it's short circuiting. He's gripping Damian's waist. Lifting him and rocking him down in time with his own movements. Tim cant..can't... too much! Dick is pounding his spots! HE'S pounding Damian's. Who keeps getting so tight, twitching and fluttering, like his trying to rip the orgasm right out of him! They're whining and sobbing and all Dick does is coo that they're doing so GOOD.

Then Tim is FILLING that tight hole above him. Watchs limp and fucked dumb as Damian is pulled off him and finished by Dick. All but squeeling at the sudden increase in thickness and his orgasm is pounded out of him. Tim's not sure he has bones anymore.

He definitely doesn't by morning.

Dick has clearly decided he LOVES their "get along" method. And won't hear anything to the contrary. Is already planning to invite Jason over for "family therapy". Tim blames Damian. Damian blames Tim. Both of their asses are probably bruised and they can't move.

At least the Dick cuddles are nice.

Fear Of The Known

Lucifer X Fem!Angel!Reader

|Chapter Sixteen|

"Adam is in Hell?" Y/n repeats. "As we speak, his soul has made it down into the Pride Ring." Said Michael. "It had been in purgatory, awaiting divine judgement, and as you can tell. He did not meet the qualifications for re-entering Heaven."

Well, it makes sense to a certain point. Adam had lied, going behind everyone's back and acting out a sick genocide on souls. An agreement that should have never happened. He acted against God, and that enough, was punishable by eternal damnation.

"So, what does this mean?" Y/n asked. "If Adam is down there, couldn't he continue the slaughter of sinners?"

"He could, had he kept his angelic powers." Answered God. "Right now, he is as defenseless as any other soul who first lands in Hell."

Y/n felt some relief from that. At least he couldn't harm Charlie in this current state. She was demon royalty, there was no way he could hurt Charlie without his powers.

"And...If dies again? Then what?" Y/n wonders aloud.

"If he does die, there is a good chance he will not return here. Or anywhere. Perhaps he will return to purgatory, only, never to come out." God crosses his arms, looking as if he were in deep thought. "And now that redemption is possible, there will be no chance at all for him to return here, if he continues the way he is."

If Y/n was to be completely honest, she didn't want Adam anywhere near Charlie or her hotel. Who's to say what he'd do or if he tried to pull any sort of tricks.

"Perhaps it's best I keep an eye on him." Y/n suggests. "If you do plan on giving Charlie's hotel a real shot, we can not allow someone like Adam to ruin her plans. There are souls who truly deserve a second chance, just look at Sir. Pentious. He could change, why couldn't any one else down there?"

God smiles slightly. "You make an excellent point. Now, there will be a meeting held tonight. Miss Charlotte's hotel needs to be further discussed."

"I can't believe he's late to the meeting he called." Leliel mutters, arms crossed. Azrael chuckles and leans back further into his seat. "I prefer someone who's a little late, other than a old stick in the mud. Like someone I know." He glances at Leliel.

"What was the meeting about again?" Leroy asks. Gabriel rolled their eyes. "Princess Charlotte's hotel. We are to discuss what further action we should take with the rehabilitation of sinners."

"Oh...We're still on that?" Leroy whispers. "Yes. We are 'still on that', Leroy. That hotel could change everything for Heaven and Hell alike!" Leliel tells him.

"Well, while we're waiting!" Cassius chimes in. "How about we lighten the mood? Did you guys know that humans thought the Coelacanth had gone extinct? Those silly humans, they know so little about their own planet."

"Yes, Cassius, you've told us this a hundred times already." Azrael groans.

Leroy rolls his eyes. "Yeah, it's just a fish. Let me know when they find the megalodon swimming around in their ocean."

"Unfortunately, that big fella is actually gone." Cassius tells him.

"Everyone, let's try and refocus." Michael finally spoke up. "Father will be here any moment. And when he arrives, we shall discuss Princess' Charlotte's redemption plan further, and what's to be done next."

"Isn't that what she's for?" Azrael looks to Y/n, who gave him a less than amused look. She ignored his comment. "As I've already told you, there is no real straightforward answer I could give. Even if we were to come to a decision now, the future is constantly shifting and changing with the slightest of choices." She explains.

"I can sit here for the next millennia telling you the different possibilities. But we both don't want that."

Azrael rolls his eyes. "It feels as if we've already sat here for a millennia. Where is he?"

Just as he said that, God and Galim walked in. "Sorry I'm late everyone! I was having the most wonderful conversation with Sir. Pentious!" He laughs airily. "Now, I've kept you waiting long enough, let's begin shall we?"

God took his place at the head of the table, Galim at his side. "Princess Charlotte Morningstar has been quite the busy bee! Her plans to redeem sinners, was a complete success!" God says with a smile. "Needless to say, this has taken all of us by total surprise. Since the beginning of that whole nasty creation of sin situation, not one single human soul that's been damned has ever been redeemed and granted entry into Heaven. Until now!"

Galim speaks next. "Sir. Pentious has been settling into his new afterlife quite nicely. His previous sinful actions and violent behavior have completely vanished. I say he's developing into a proper angel, fit for Heaven's society. However, there is one problem." They continue.

"It is believed Lute, though clean from bloodshed since the recent extermination, will fall back into those tendencies if she were to ever see Sir. Pentious. Therefore, he is currently under our watch until further notice." Galim goes on. "Aside from that, if another soul from Hell, can be redeemed as he has. If they can comply to Heaven's rules. Then should not every sinner be given the same chance Sir. Pentious had, to better themselves?"

Gabriel was the first to speak.

"Sir. Pentious is one of many souls from Hell. Not every one of them will be the same. And Sir. Pentious is...well, simple. He seemed fairly easy to work with, he tapered off of his sinful ways and now he can behave himself. Who's to say another soul won't take that chance for granted?"

Y/n spoke next. "I say being in Hell for even a few minutes would be motivation enough for any soul to reconsider their ways, so they may live an afterlife in peace. And some souls down there, might not have had any other choice for what they did when they were alive. I believe it would be foolish to think those souls wouldn't want to try again, to be better."

"Hell was created for a reason, you know?" Azrael says, resting his head on his hand. "Humans are truly sick creatures, capable of many horrendous acts. So I say, those souls deserve to be down there, if they wish to live a life that way."

"Hmmm. I dunno." Cassius sighs. "I've seen some pretty nice humans during some of my visits to Earth. I don't think all of them are like that. What if they just...make a mistake?"

"A mistake?" Azrael chuckles. "Must be making some pretty bad mistakes to end up in Hell of all places."

Y/n bit back her irritation. "What about Charlie? She is the daughter of the devil himself, and yet, her soul is the purest of all in Hell. If someone like her can exist, then why could another normal human soul?"

Lucifer was no devil, he was a kind, caring, and loving person. Even after his banishment, he continued to keep a good heart. But in their eyes, he was nothing more than a demon who tried to destroy Heaven.

"I believe in her cause, I want to see the good in others like Charlie can. I think we all could learn a lot from her."

There was a brief silence before God spoke up. "Maybe you're right." Everyone looked to him. "Galim, please schedule a meeting for Miss Charlotte. I'd like to hear more about this hotel personally."

Galim blinks their words stuttering as they spoke. "O-Of course, you're heavenly grace..."

Y/n couldn't believe she was doing this. Or maybe she could. But it'll only be for a moment. Just a quick in and out, and then she'll go back. Y/n raised her hand and knocked at the hotel doors, after a moment, it was answered by Charlie's girlfriend.

"Oh. Uh, it's you." She said awkwardly. "What brings you by...again?" Y/n offers her a kind smile. "Hello again, Vaggie, right?" She asks. Vaggie nods her head, a small smile on her face forms.

"I must speak with Charlie, if that's alright. It's rather important." Y/n tells Vaggie, who gives her a slightly concerned look. "Is it...bad?" She asks. Y/n shakes her head. "Quite the opposite. Though, I'm sure as her girlfriend, you'd want to see that for yourself?"

Vaggie laughs weakly. "Uh, yeah. I just, can't help but be protective of her. Heaven has always been...well, I shouldn't really say anything." Vaggie mutters, looking away from Y/n.

"I understand." Y/n nods. "As much as we brag, Heaven is...well, is not as perfect as we like to pretend it is." Vaggie seemed to visibly relax, she leads Y/n to the gardens where she would wait for Charlie.

Once Charlie arrived, she was overjoyed to see Y/n again. "Y/n! You're back!" Her smile was quick to disappear. "Oh but...Dad said you weren't coming back?"

Y/n's smile faltered slightly. "Well, yes. But, I just had to come back one more time. You see, you're going to have a very important meeting soon. And I feel I should just give you some time to process before the day actually comes."

Charlie looked confused, but curious. "A meeting? Who with?" She asks.

"With the big man upstairs." Y/n points to the sky.

Charlie's face paled. "W-With...?"

Y/n nods. "He says he'd like to discus your hotel with you personally."

Charlie felt her knees buckle, Vaggie was quick to catch her. Vaggie looked to Y/n. "You're serious?" She asks. "God wants to meet with Charlie?"

"Not in person." Y/n clarifies. "It'll be similar to how you first met Adam. It'd be quite the shock to everyone here if God came down in the flesh." Y/n grows closer to Charlie and takes her trembling hands.

"Charlie. Big things are coming your way, and this is just the very beginning. Now...deep breaths." She says gently, Charlie inhaled and exhaled a few times. "Good." Y/n smiles. "Rest assured, God is...probably not what you might think."

"W-What is he like?" Charlie mumbles.

"He's...something. There's really no need to be tense. In fact, he'll be quite delighted to see you." Said Y/n, Charlie's laugh was forced. "You don't say?"

"He is your grandfather, after all. Technically." Y/n tells her. "He's going to gush over you, trust me."

"Right, about that...Can I tell my dad?" Charlie cautiously asks.

"That's your choice. I think we all know their relationship is a little...tense, after what happened." Y/n says with a sigh. "I'm not sure how they would react to seeing each other after all this time. And quite frankly, I'm a little afraid to look. That is, if they ever decide to meet face to face again. I wouldn't doubt it would be awkward and...sad."

Charlie nods. "So, what should I say?"

"Anything." Y/n suggests. "Tell him all your plans going forward. He's already on board, all you have to do now, is give him a sneak peak into what comes next. I will refrain from looking if I can, I'd like to be surprised as well."

Charlie's smile returned to her face. "I will certainly do my best."

"I know you will." Y/n turns away from her. "Now, I should be getting back. Lord knows I've been down here for far too long."

"Wait." Charlie stops her. "Before you go...Can I ask a small favor?" Y/n looks back to Charlie, she didn't miss the look of hesitancy in her expression.

"My dad he...he's been a little depressed since you left. I know this sound selfish, but, I...I'm afraid that if he gets in that bad mental state again...I'll loose him. Again. When mom left, he acted similar to how he's acting now. I just got him back, so..." Charlie trailed off.

Y/n could tell where this was going, she placed a hand on Charlie's shoulder. "You want me to see him?" Charlie gives her a small nod.

"Charlie..." Y/n wanted to say no. She knew she should have said no. She knew if she kept this up, she will get caught. And that future, the future where she does get caught, was becoming more of a possibility with every choice she makes to come back.

Y/n looks up at the sky. She is reminded of the future she saw, where two angels descend from the Heaven portal. Another, that was becoming closer to reality. But...

"Just for an hour."

Charlie grins wide and hugs Y/n tightly. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

Y/n smiles weakly and hugs her back, as she glances up at Heaven's portal with unease.

READ AT YOUR ONE DISCRETION

After everything subsided and countless visits from the maester you were told you could finally leave the chambers, your mind was so confused at everything, the nightmares, the horrible stench that everything had, the subtle ire that consumed you at the looks men started giving you around the time of your 12th name day. 

Arya occupied most of your time with the sneaking about to spar, ending with more than a couple of bruises, mud stains, and scoldings from both the septa and Lady Stark.  

After the whole kiss ordeal Bran had avoided you like the plague, not out of ill intentions, that you knew, simply out of embarrassment. You found it hilarious, shouldn’t you be the one embarrassed? He kissed you not the other way around. 

You made it your mission that week to annoy him the most, see how much it would take for him to break the silence. 

At dinner one day you sat next to him and smiled. His body visibly stiffened, and his face went red, you tried your hardest to not let a cackle slip, but to no avail, as soon as Robb mentioned something about his reaction, you broke in laughter, the rest of the table followed suit. His eyes were fixed at the table in shame. 

“Are you alright my dear?” you asked with a knowing smile. 

“W-what?  Yeah, I’m good” he said with a slight stutter. 

The interaction earns a few other giggles from the youngest Stark. 

Once dinner culminated Bran was the first to bolt out the mess hall, you followed suit 

“You’ve been avoiding me like Greyscale Brandon” you say  

“I have not,” you cached up to him and started walking by his side 

“Yes you have, can't we just be normal friends? I'm not asking you to love me right away, hell I know I do not” you laughed and continued; “just, don’t be a stranger” 

His steps met a stop and he replied, looking at the floor “Fine, don’t keep teasing me about it, and…sorry about the other day and the days before that’ 

You knew what he meant, the constant cold shoulder, and the peck on the cheek the day you woke from your nightmare fueled slumber. 

Now it was your turn to go red “I didn’t mind...next time just ask, good night my lord” you waved and left, quite in a hurry to avoid any other questions from the boy. 

The next morning the avoidance was gone, and you exchanged a couple of words in between duties, the hesitance was there but it was a step forward. Over the months that followed the shy conversations turned into full on banter.  

Once he had tried convincing you of climbing a small wall on the castle which led to both of you on the floor laughing, gathering yourself quickly to avoid a scolding from his mother. 

One of the climbing escapades had worked out fairly well apart from the subtle scrapes on your knees and hands from constant slips, both of you now on the top of a wall hidden away, looking at the falling sun. 

“Did you have any dreams before you were told you had to marry me?” he asked you abruptly, even he caught himself by surprise “You don’t have to answer that, it's none of my business” he retaliated. “It's all right, I do not mind... I can’t really say if I longed to do something, but I know I’ve always wanted to serve my people no matter what...although now my views have shifted” you say calmly, the sadness in your voice palpable 

 “What about yours, did you have any dreams before the news?” you asked, not letting him ask any questions about your newfound hatred against your people back home. 

“I wanted to be a Kings guard” he said slowly, your eyes went wide for a second. 

“Do you resent me for depriving you of your dream?” you ask. His head turned to look at you, eyes wide “No! of course not, neither of us had a say in this arrangement, even if my parents said I could decide whether i would marry you or not, i knew they were only humoring me” he said holding your arms, you winced at the cuts getting irritated by his sudden touch. 

He took them away quickly “Sorry, we should go down before the sun goes down, the others might get the wrong idea” he said looking at the floor below the both of you. 

“Alright lead the way” you say not wanting to imagine how difficult the journey to descend was going to be. He seemed to notice and chuckled “I'll go first and wait down there, if you fall I'll catch you my lady.” 

“You better not or ill poison your food at dinner” you throw him a small scowl at his teasing. 

At the end no one fell, and no one was poisoned yet as expected your little escapade resulted in a brief scolding about how dangerous that climb was. 

“You, Brandon Stark may be experienced climbing, yet she isn’t, what if she falls? '' Lady Catelyn asked exasperated, “I would catch her mother, I helped her up and down, she’s fine” he replied. “Truly my lady I’m fine, just a couple of scrapes, nothing serious, I promise it won't happen again” 

It did happen again. 

The day of your 13th name day was just around the corner, and although the Starks prepared a small feast to commemorate the three years you had spent with them, you couldn’t get a pestering feeling that crept up in your head. Every night for the last week, your dreams were filled with the corpses of people you have never met before, dead animals, but one was a recurrent resident in the abode of your mind. A raven, as black as the night, sometimes it would stay still and quiet, while sometimes it opted to be more aggravating, screaming in your ear, flying in your line of sight to stop you from gazing at something you should not. 

Every night you would wake up in a cold sweat, it was slowly eating you alive and it was eminent in your eyes. The bastard, Jon Snow was the first to notice, although he and you did not really interact, you considered him someone that would bring you safety, having saved you from that horrible man, moons ago. You often sat next to him in silence, as he went about his duties, he never questioned it really, the silence was welcomed and so were you.  

“You’ve seen better days my lady” he said as he polished his sword, not looking at you. “Have you seen death my lord? Does it haunt you in your dreams?” you ask now looking directly at him 

To say he was surprised was an understatement, he's never been in a war nor a brutal battle, but he had seen his father execute men who take the black and proceed to break their oath. 

“It used to but then I got- accustomed to it as I got older” he said looking back at you now, “Does death plague your dreams?” he asked with a frown 

You thought for a second for an answer, saying yes would entail him asking about said dreams which would- 

“No, just wanted to ask” your response was rather quick, “I'm sorry to bother you, do carry on” with that you left the room, leaving the snow's son quite disturbed to say the least 

You sprinted back to the courtyard, the stench of blood emanating from every crevice of the garden, your insides contorted as a way to seek relief and as a final effort to do just that, the food you had eaten earlier that morning ended up on the ground. Your breath was heavy and your hands were supporting your body from touching the floor as you cursed out to the old gods and the new. You felt a piercing gaze near where you were, unmoving. You looked up and saw a raven staring right back at you, for a moment you thought you were having one of those hellish nightmares again since its eyes were as white as the snow that was said to decorate the land beyond the wall. You tried moving your hand its way to make it go away but to no avail, “What is it that you want from me you bastard” you scoffed at the feathered animal. As soon as those words left your mouth you felt your eyes go to the back of your skull, and just as it happened many nights ago. Everything went black.

You stood in front of an out of commission tower in Castle Ward, one that you failed to climb with Brandon during one of your escapades.This time it felt much taller than it did that day. In the blink of an eye, a bird fell from the upper window, falling right at your feet, making you gasp. After that, another came crashing down, and then another, and another, until the ground was covered in bird carcasses and you could only stare at it in disbelief and terror. As the last one fell, a soft scream could be heard. It sounded vaguely like Lady Catelyn’s voice, as you understood what the screaming voice said, your blood froze, Brandon it called. Brandon it wailed.

You jolted awake in the same soft grass you had fallen, the raven nowhere to be seen and the smell of rotting flesh nowhere to be perceived. You stood and went running to go find the boy, when you spotted him holding his bow, pointing the arrow at the target, you heart felt at ease once more. 

After that scare, the day went on rather normal, though your mind kept going to the Lady’s screams, the ravens and all the blood, you couldn't bear to relive that again. As the night fell, everyone returned to their chambers. You felt restless, you didn't want to succumb to sleep because the nightmares would haunt you, but at the same time the less you slept, the more irritable you became. Once you decided to go to bed at last, your mind was filled with blissful images of your family before all the atrocities that went down. Leiana chasing Ophelia down on the corridors as Amadeus taught your younger self how to read

‘All ladies should be well informed of the worldly matters’ he used to say

The images soon changed settings to the gorgeous gardens that reside in Castle Ravenna, the tulips that would only bloom in the warmer months, the lilies that often decorated Ophelia’s hair as soon as they bloomed, and the red roses that-

There were no red roses in Castle Ravenna.

Mother hated them.

You gasped as you woke up in front of that dreadful tower back in Winterfell, the ravens still surrounding you, yet instead of lifeless they were now croaking at you, all at once. If the nightmares wouldn't make you mad, this certainly would. You ran as fast as you could to the main entrance of Castle Ward yet the doors would not budge. From behind you, you could hear countless horses trotting your way, as the horses came closer and showed no sign of stopping only then did the doors open. You hurried back inside of the castle yet no one seemed to acknowledge your presence, everyone focused on the..King.

The King hopped off his high horse and went closer to the Stark family. Starting out with Neddard Stark, as soon as he hugged him, a horrible image flashed in your vision. Heads mounted on spikes, flies grouped around them, feasting on the rotting flesh, and among them all one stood from the others.

It couldn't be. 

As if to not let you know more, the vision ended, and you were once more back in front of the family being greeted by the King. Next was Robb, at the shake of their hands another vision struck you. A man with the head of Wolf was paraded as a laughing stock in a gathering. The blood from the wolf intertwined with that of the man’s, linking them as one. Your vision panned to the view of a horrified Arya, a few years older than what she was now, age not the one weighing down her features, but the things she had seen and gone through. As soon as your ears heard the words “King in the North” being exclaimed  by one of the perpetrators, you were pulled out of the nightmare. You opened your mouth to scream as the king neared Lady Stark, but the chords down your throat were not being strung, as if they were cut completely. Yet that didn't stop tears from welling in your eyes as you fell to your knees, another vision engulfing your tired mind.

You found yourself in a quiet hall as bodies littered the floors, a heaving Catlyn could barely muster any words as she held a young girl by the hair, dagger in hand, pointed at her neck. As if thunder had struck, the lady’s neck was slashed such as quick, all while her hostage held the same fate.

You couldn't handle anymore, this was your new found family..how could you stand this.

Once back at the entrance, you walked with all your might to try and stop the king from touching another family member. Yet a man with eyes as pale as snow, whom you had never seen before stood right in front of you.

“The God’s make things happen for a reason, all for which you will see with time, you were never supposed to see this. Sleep now child.” 

As soon as the words left his mouth, a murder of ravens engulfed him and everything around you.

You awoke from the living hell you were just pulled from and sat up, slowly, you noticed that instead of the comfort of your chambers, you laid in the cold ground outside. In the very center of Castle Ward. Afraid this was another one of your mind’s cruel tricks, you grabbed the sharpest stone the floor could provide and gashed your hand. You let out a wince as the blood now trickled down the creases of your palm. Your body and soul were too tired to let out sobs, so you opted to stare at the abysmal darkness that the outside provided. Soon enough your eyes caught the one of a dead bird not too far away. Like a predator salivating after its next prey, the blood on your palm oozed quicker, and your mind only had one thing resounding in it, take it.

And take you did, like a rabid animal you ran to take it, your blood mixing with the birds still one, interlinking as one.

In the blink of an eye it felt like how it felt back when you were Amelia, yet this time it was more intimate, more.. Personal, it was your body getting traded for that of a carcass. Your soul transfering itself into the empty vessel of a bird. Your eyes went to the back of your head, the pearly whiteness quickly turning stygian. The lifeless bird no longer so, as your limp body fell on the ground with a thud, the bird took flight, standing atop of the tree near your sleeping figure.

In some way or another you must have regained your body’s soul back to its rightful place, since you were awoken by Sansa as you laid comfortably in your chamber bed.

“Wake up sister! I come bringing great news, the King is to come to Winterfell, and I shall marry his son Joffrey!”

The Gods have abandoned us long ago, we just pretend we are still in their presence.

[heteromerous-rhyming]

while i'm feeling stabby let's talk about action scenes in the percy jackson show (bc i refuse to let this go i refuse i do)

bc the actions scenes otherwise were not unfortunately memorable for me i'm going to be talking about the first and last ones and why they don't work both on a cinematic level but also on a character level. did i want to address the disappointingness of the st louis arch fight? yes. but literally cannot remember it beyond the fact that it was disappointing. which says a lot imo.

so. let's start with the mrs. dodds fight shall we?

i'm going to say it. taking away the sequence where percy assumes that he's wrongfully in trouble kills a bunch of subtle character work in the series.

in the books percy has a short monologue at the beginning where he starts off with "am i a troubled kid?" and so the lead up to mrs. dodds attacking him does several things. we, the reader understand that percy didn't (consciously) do anything, so we feel the unfairness when he's pulled aside - this scene asks us, the readers, to sympathize with the kid, not the authority figure. it sets up a fundamental theme in the books, that authority figures, and more specifically adults, can be challenged, can be wrong, can be terribly unfair to children. and this is important considering the protagonist of this story is dyslexic and has ADHD???

and they take it out. and it's really really galling.

there's so many other things that i could say about the character work in this scene. so many, like the fact that mrs. dodds' monologue about the gods is misinterpreted at first to be about the school - setting up the connection between the school administration unfairness and the gods unfair attitudes towards their children. like the moment when percy thinks that it might have been his ADHD acting up when mrs. dodds got up the stairs quicker than humanly possible. there's also less foreshadowing for mr. brunner being chiron, like the pen turning into a sword isn't even properly shown hello the pen suddenly having magical properties could be completely divorced from mr. brunner gifting it to percy.

there's just. a lot. of character work I'M LITERALLY SCREAMING IT'S NOT EVEN A HARD SCENE JUST PLEASE WHY IS THE SHOW ALLERGIC TO TENSION LIKE PLEASE

but they don't add in the conversations, they don't add in the moment of self-doubt, they don't add in mr. brunner. mrs. dodds just approaches menacingly. in broad daylight. like sir. the mist can cover a lot but it showed ares as a kidnapper. it doesn't make that much sense that it completely erased people's perception of mrs. dodds. like please.

(also idk if this is disney, but i think that it was incredibly frustrating that they really just removed percy's being treated as a delinquent and as a troubled kid. the show begins with the monologue but the monologue is kickstarted by percy being at "Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York." HELLO??? you could have had the exact same monologue but you change it for subpar themes????)

ok so it doesn't work on a character level.

does it work cinematically?

HELL NO.

this scene has already been torn to shreds and back (BUT NOT ENOUGH) so i'll be short. EVEN THE SPY KIDS HAS IMPACT SEQUENCES. ONES THAT LOOK REALISTIC MIND YOU. there's no impact. percy isn't pushed down by mrs. dodds, he just. trips? ig? silently? without any noise? ahahaha the lack of noise??? someone else has already mentioned the lack of noise but yeah once you hear (or don't hear) it, you can't un-hear it.

ahahahaha

ok but surely the show improved as they went on, as the filmed more etc etc. sure. but like. also no. (and also though i'm sure they did film these episodes in order lets also keep in mind that filming is not always linear)

ARES FIGHT SCENE WOOOOO LET'S GO

ok i did lose the video (i looked for it i swear, i took 30 min trying to look for it, which really isn't that long but yeah) but a lovely tumblr user here (i think i know who it was but i don't want to be embarrassingly wrong) edited the ares's fight with his internal monologue and an awful recorder rendition of that one song from the titanic and it really does encapsulate my thoughts. but yeah if you aren't familiar with the video.

when i was watching the final episode i swear i was trying to turn all critical brain functions off but it was really hard for me not to notice the increasing amount of time that ares just lets percy get up. i just watched dune (second part) so i was spoiled for good fight sequences but something i did notice was that in dune, when there is a pause in a fight it is FOR CHARACTER REASONS. the characters are DELIBERATELY NOT ENDING THE FIGHT. and that was not the impression i got from ares. it really wasn't.

and that took away from his authority/menace as a god ngl.

so yeah was the fight better than the dodds fight. 100%. like 500%.

does that make it a good fight sequence.... ehhhhhhhhhhhh....

(why did the scenes with luke have more tension than the ares fight hello)

and character wise. assassination. all the assassination. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE CULMINATION OF PERCY'S CHARACTER ARC AHHHHHHHH. sorry. but like this was the point at which percy decides he's done running. and stands up to ares with all the taunts and quick thinking that we know him for. unfortunately the show thought itself better and erased that theme ahaha.

so this really is just a fight for the helm. no big reveals, no reading the actions and emotions of a god, no strategy, no trying to get to the water and ares stopping him. like

WOULD IT BE SO HARD TO JUST FOLLOW THE NICE LOVELY SCRIPT THE BOOKS GAVE YOU FOR EXAMPLE: shot of percy looking at the water, shot of ares looking at percy looking at the water, maybe a pan to the water here, percy moves towards, ares blocks. YOU CAN IN FACT SHOW BATTLEFIELD STRATEGY IN A MOVIE. BC BATTLE STRATEGY RESULTS IN STRATEGIC FIGHTING. WHICH IS WHAT THE VISUAL MEDIUM IS SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD AT. RIGHT? RIGHT???

ahahaha sorry just feeling stabby i don't really know why. anywho off to the senate meeting. i'm running a bit late but i did rsvp with a knife sooooo

[utilitycaster]

omg thank you. it's been driving me crazy how many people have said that BH are evil, selfish people who hate the gods now and are happy to let the world die, when no? not at all? there have been many (repetitive) conversations criticising the gods' worth that i don't agree with fully. but a hugely important thing that most seem to be overlooking is that in spite of their personal beliefs every single one of them has continued to work towards saving the gods anyway. they're still heroes.

Yeah...for what it's worth, while the conversations are a lot, it makes sense for Bells Hells to be having them (particularly since it was repetitive to us when they were separated, but not to them). It just doesn't really make sense within the fandom. At some point you have to say "okay, are the gods operating by the laws of mortals, in which case 'are you worth saving' is a fucking threat - not that Deanna is wrong to say it, but that's definitely a conversation ender - or are they operating by laws mortals cannot comprehend in which case the actions we are criticizing them for might actually be for the greater good." And yes, the party's actions are louder than words, because it really doesn't matter if you care about or like the gods! It matters that you see the Vanguard and say "well that's fucked up and that's a decision that they should not make for the rest of the world, and neither should we; we should stop them."

I also happen to think that comparing the gods to government is where a lot of people are going wrong. Some of that is that again, it's frequently coming from people who are ex-evangelical/fundamentalist and many people in that situation have, in addition to an understandably if frustrating black-and-white attitude towards religion, a similarly deeply messed up grasp on politics (long story short: they treat Being a Good Leftist identically to how their parents treat Being Saved). But some of it is also that like...Ok so the gods are the government. Does your revolution provide a comprehensive plan for infrastructural maintenance and continuity of vital services? Or is it just like "well citizen whose healthcare gets interrupted and whose water gets shut off; we shall remember your noble sacrifice to my cause. Read theory so you know your suffering is correct."

(I'm also a bit cranky because I saw someone unironically compare this situation to the French revolution, and like, I know we're on the guillotine website but lest we forget, the French monarchy was quite literally restored less than 25 years after said bloody revolution and there was a whole dictatorship in between. If we're using real-world political coups and revolutions as the basis for killing the gods, do you know how many got replaced almost immediately by a totalitarian government? As Ashton said, yeah, kill everyone who disagrees with you, get it down to five people and it will be great.)

Discussing Elden Ring Ships.

Part II: Godfrey x Radagon

So, Godfrey x Radagon... Oh how I love you and don't see enough of you.

Yes, I actually love this ship. Why? Well we're going to be figuring that out togethaaaa!

BL/MLM Honorary Mention

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm bisexual as hell. (Who would have thunk it?)

But I already gave the honorary lesbian mention to Rennala x Marika, so this is the honoray gay mention for these two kings.

2. Strange Dynamic

Now, we don't actually know a whole lot about how Radagon and Godfrey really are personality wise in game, so most of it will be just dreamed up in our brains. But, even if applied to the game and not just fanon, the dynamic would be weird.

Godfrey: You fucked my wife and took my throne!

Radagon: No. I am your wife!

I would pay real ass American dollars to see how that shit would play out.

Plus, incantation malewife and big beefy barbarian man just hits different. Radagon is a twink compared to Godfrey, you can not change my mind.

3. Sweet, Sweet Drama

Ah, hello again drama.

Yeah, so this has some major potential to spark some drama, yet again.

Godfrey confronting Radagon about how long he's known Marika before marrying her only for Radagon to stand there awkwardly with the, "I am your wife," card just waiting to be played.

Maybe a canon divergence fic where Godfrey actually makes it into the Erdtree and see Marika switch into Radagon and the pieces start falling together.

Oh my God, if Radagon and Godfrey got together, that would make Radahn Godfrey's actual son.

Let's just keep tangling the web that is the Elden Ring family tree, shall we?

4. Actual Fluff Material (Deadass)

Alright, hear me out... This could work as a comfort/fluff fic.

Maybe it's just Godfrey and Radagon cuddling. (Radagon being little spoon, obviously.)

Maybe Godfrey is gently braiding Radagon's hair.

Maybe they have a conversation about the family.

Serosh and one of Radagon's red wolves could meet eachother as well.

I don't know, but this could be really stinkin' cute and I want to cry thinking about it!

My conclusion

I don't have a solid conclusion here actually. Whoopsie. But I just know I love this ship.

That's all I got man. Malewife x Beefy Barbarian.

Bye ya'll!

[liverpool-enjoyer]

footballers reacting to a younger player calling them dad (long as hell version)

anon requested it n so it shall be!! ngl for some a the teams i simply googled "youngest player on INSERTTEAMHERE." ive never written formal fic for football so i apologize for this being iffy n also for the SHITTON of innacuracies theres bound to be. oh n also that everyone talks like a twenty year old american college student

leo:

"Thanks, dad," Warren said nonchalantly as Leo helped him up off the ground. He had stumbled a little and fell during the last part of training.

Leo only narrowed his eyes a little in response. Dad?

Poor Warren clasped a hand over his mouth, seemingly mortified. "I'm so sorry," he said, chuckling even though he didn't look like he found anything funny. "I guess I just- And then- Yeah I'll, uh, get going now." He scampered away not once looking back.

Leo got to thinking as me made his way back to the locker room. He's used to being called that; he has children of his own. But he's never considered a teammate of his as his own child. Sure, he was helpful, a mentor maybe, but fatherly wasn't how he would describe his behavior with his younger teammates.

There was only one thing to do, obviously. Ask a younger teammate.

When he got to the locker room he approached Neymar, who didn't notice him at first.

"Ney."

His friend's face brightened upon noticing Leo was there. "Yeah, what's up?" he asked, before taking a swig of water.

"Do you see me as a father figure?"

In response, Leo was met with Neymar choking and coughing. "NO, GOD NO-" he stopped to cough again and catch his breath. "WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?"

"Nothing, jeez, calm down."

---

ney:

"Woah, not like that, you could hurt yourself," Neymar told Bitshiabu. He was doing an new training excercise incorrectly, and the last thing PSG needed was a good player pulling or straining something.

Neymar took a minute to show him how to do it properly. "Thanks, dad," the seventeen year old said sarcastically. Despite the snark, he appreciated the help.

Neymar just laughed in response, but for the rest of traning the thought kept bouncing around in the back of his head. 'Dad? I was acting like a dad? Some of them see me as old enough to be their father?'

Well, he was a father, but that was different. His teammates were much older than Davi.

Oh, gosh, was he getting old?

Later in training, when he saw Leo, he grabbed the poor man by the shoulders without so much as a hello. "Leo. Do you think I'm getting old?"

In classic Leo fashion, he looked like he'd rather be anywhere than here, interacting with someone. "Well, technically we all are... You're older now than you were yesterday, so I guess you are get-"

Neymar let out an exasperated sigh, unhappy with that answer.

His next victim was Sergio, who's phone conversation he interrupted to ask him the question of the day.

"Do you think I'm getting old?"

"You interrupted my conversation with Lukita to ask me if-"

"JUST ANSWER."

"SURE, I GUESS. I DON'T CARE."

Damn. Neymar was gonna have to get hammered tonight. To prove he still has it in him.

---

milly:

"What about you, Milly? Any fun weekend plans?" Andy asked. Some of the team were talking about the plans they had for the free weekend they had coming up.

"You bet; I have a date with my new book and chamomile tea."

This earned him a few eye rolls, most noticably from Trent. "Aw, that's so boring! Robbo and I are hitting this new club Saturday night, aren't we, mate?" he reached across the kitchen island to fist bump his friend. "Surely you've got something more fun in mind."

"I might fire up the grill if the weather allows..." Milly started. "Oh, and I should probably get my car checked out; it's been making this weird noise."

"Yeah yeah, we get it, dad, you're boring."

Milly didn't hesitate. "I am nowhere near old enough to be your dad," he said with his typical snark.

"You do act like it though..." the previously quiet Alisson chimed in, peering at his friends from over his coffee mug.

"And you're no spring chicken either," Milly remarked, which shut the goalkeeper up. "Will you lot ever get bored of the 'James is old' joke?"

"Aw, don't be like that, mate," Andy said with a hearty laugh, putting an arm around Milly's neck and ruffling his hair. "You know it's just because we love you!"

Milly sighed. Yeah, he did know, he supposed.

kdb:

"I mean," Alvarez said between passes. "You're practically his dad."

Kevin rolled his eyes for what was probably the third time during that conversation.

"Ah, shove it, you know I'm not that old."

"It's not about age," his younger teammate responds, accepting the ball Kevin passed to him. "You're always like... I dunno, dadish."

Kevin just gave Alvarez an absolutely bewildered look. "...Are you actually saying these words?"

"I'm serious, mate! You're always, y'know, taking him out for ice cream after training, making sure he gets home safe, whatever that means-"

Kevin brought up a hand to rub his temple. "Oh my gosh, I don't see him as my kid. Can't I just be nice?"

"No."

"Shove off," Kevin said playfully.

An amused grin crossed Alvarez's face. "Speak of the devil."

Kevin turned to see Erling walking up to the pair.

"Hey guys!" Erling said with a polite wave, and Alvarez waved back.

"You need anything?" Kevin asked.

"Yeah, actually," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Do you think you can give me a ride home after training? Jack drove me but he had to leave early."

"Of course, no problem," he replied without hesitation, and clapped a hand on Erling's shoulder for seemingly no reason.

Erling nodded happily in response. "Thank you, dad!" he said with a bright smile, before walking away as if what he said was completely normal.

It was taking everything Alvarez had in him to not start rolling on the ground with laughter. "What was that about not being his dad?"

"Shaddup."

---

luka:

It was actually Luka who started it.

Everyone entered the locker room very happy, fresh off a 44th minute goal from Rodrygo that had earned them the lead. The young player received hugs and claps on the back from pretty much every player. The attention was well deserved; the goal was a beauty, after all.

One of the last players to congratulate him was Luka. "Good job, hijo!" he said, hugging his teammate. "You were brilliant out there!"

"Gracias, papa," Rodrygo said, casual, even though he had never called him that before. "But it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't set me up for it!"

"Aw, aren't you the sweetest," said Luka, smiling proudly as he ruffled up Rodrygo's short hair beyond repair.

Rodrygo reached up in a futile attempt to fix his hair, and even though it wasn't said out loud, he got the feeling that he could call Luka that anytime he wanted.

---

luis:

Training had long since ended, and everyone was in the locker room, gathering their belongings and talking amongst themselves.

Luis and Kauan had been making small talk, with Luis telling his youngest teammate about some of his exploits and giving him some pointers.

"Y'know," Kauan eventually said. "You kinda remind me of my dad!"

Luis immediately burst into laughter, but it was out of genuine joy rather than condescension.

"Oh yeah?" he asked, not bothering to wait for an answer. "I'm not that old, kiddo. Now would your dad do THIS?"

Before his teammate could respond, Luis had taken Kauan into a light, non-painful chokehold n given him the strongest noogie he could muster, sending Kauan into a fit of giggling.

When Luis had mercy on the kid and let him go, Kauan needed a minute to catch his breath and compose himself.

Kuan gave Luis a sly grin. "Y'know, my dad does that to me all the time!"

"Damnit."

lewa:

It wasn't Gavi's day. Or his week, and it wasn't shaping out to be his month, for that matter.

He didn't know what was wrong; he just wasn't playing like his normal self these past few games. But the crushing blow was this game in particular, when he was subbed off in the first half due to his performance.

The atmosphere in the locker room after the game was still positive, however, as they had won. But Gavi wasn't participating in the celebrating and joking. He had changed and was just sitting by his locker, just... thinking. He hated sulking like this. He felt like he was being dramatic. Maybe he should go.

He didn't notice someone had approached him until he heard his voice.

"Gavi?" Robert asked, voice laced with concern. "What're you doing here all by yourself?"

The younger player just shrugged, blinking away tears that definitely weren't forming.

"May I?" Robert asked, gesturing to the spot next to Gavi on the bench.

Gavi just muttered a quiet "yeah," and Robert sat closely next to him.

Robert took a good look at Gavi, and for a moment he was reminded of his girls.

"You don't seem to be too happy with yourself," the man said.

"Can you blame me?" Gavi asked, trying not to sound sarcastic.

"Well, I understand. But I don't think you should be so hard on yourself," he put an arm around the young player. "You're talented, Gavi, and you're only going to get better from here. You just had a few rough weeks; it's not permanent. And I'm saying that because I really believe it." He smiled warmly at the young man.

Gavi would be lying if he said he didn't feel just a little bit better. He found himself resting his head on the other's shoulder.

"Thank you, dad. I mean- shit, I-"

Robert just chuckled in response. "It's ok, really, I'm honored," he said, holding the other just a little tighter.

---

sergio:

"Hey, dad? Do you-" Vini shut his mouth quickly after he realized what he had just said.

Sergio was on him before the young player could even apologize. "I'm sorry?" he asked, feeling kind enough to at least give the young player a chance to explain himself.

"I don't know, I guess I just got my wires crossed, or something-"

"I thought so. Just don't let it happen again," Sergio said, sounding less angry and more just... irritated. And with that, he left.

Much later in the day, Sergio found himself at Luka's place eating dinner with his teammate, as was pretty much tradition after training.

"Y'know," the team captain said between bites of what Luka made him. "Those kids of ours are really improving. I mean, they were always talented but, y'know..."

Luka just smiled and kept his thoughts to himself. He knew if he made mention of Sergio referring to the young players as their kids, he'd deny it faster than you could say Madrid.

---

pep:

"Don't overwork yourself, Cole, I don't want you getting hurt," Pep said to the young player. It was Cole's first training back after recovering from an injury, so he was prone to hurting himself again.

"Sure thing, dad," Cole said sarcastically.

Pep simply blinked at the young man. He had been managing a long time and had been called many things by all his players over the years. But this was definitely a first for "dad."

After a few seconds of silence, Cole could tell that his attempt at a joke was not well received. He simply stared at the man staring back at him, waiting for whatever stupid prize awaited, and kind of hoping he would just die right now.

"Laps."

Cole's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Hm?"

"Laps."

"Uh... don't you think that's too exerting? You just said I should take it e-"

"Laps!"

And without another word, Cole took off running. It wasn't until three laps in that he realized he never asked how many of these things he should do.

Shit.

"We've won our last five matches," Darwin said.

"And it's raining outside, so traning will be, uh... Not as good," chimed in Harvey.

"And we promise to train extra hard tomorrow! Don't we, lads?" Cody asked, turning to his teammates, who nodded furiously in response.

"I still don't know if you can afford to miss it; training every day is important," Jurgen told the boys. There was a new movie out that the boys wanted to forego traning to go and see. Rather than sending one person to him to be The Negotiator, the boys thought it was better to approach him with their request all at once.

"But papaaaaaa!!" damn near all of the teammates chimed at once.

Jurgen clenched his expensive-ass teeth. These boys always knew how to get to him. He loved being reminded that they loved him and saw them as a father, as someone to be trusted and depended upon. He couldn't even remember when they started calling him that.

He loud out a long, overly-dramatic sigh.

"Fine."

In return, he received a chorus of cheers. An onlooker would think these boys just watched their teammate win them a penalty shootout.

In no time at all he was swarmed with hugs and "thank you, papa"s from too many of the boys to count.

The boys all stopped at the door when they saw their gaffer wasn't following them.

"Aren't you coming?" Alisson asked, eyes kind and welcoming.

"Do you want me to?" questioned Jurgen, looking at his boys' faces for signs of approval. Most of them just rolled their eyes at the suggestion that they didn't want him to join them.

Alisson approached him, took him by the arm, and dragged him to the door himself, Jurgen laughing while following him.

"Of course we do, papa."

Summary: Y/n doesn’t like his girlfriend and she thinks he needs a new one

posted: July 9, 2024

Y/n always had a crush on John B. I mean who wouldn’t? But when Sarah Cameron got with him. Y/n became physically sick. It’s true she literally threw up when she found out. Sarah Cameron is known for cheating so why would he get with someone like that.

Y/n is much better for him and she won’t stop until she gets what she wants. ^

Hey, hey, you, you

I don't like your girlfriend

No way, no way

I think you need a new one

It’s no secret that I don’t like Sarah Cameron and I’m not one to slut shame but she’s a slut. Who gets together with someone who is known for cheating?, that makes no sense. John B and I always had our little interactions. Like last week he totally was flirting.

“Hey N/n.” Only very select people are allowed to call me by my nickname so obviously he means a lot.

“Hey Johnny Boy.” You smiled and he smiled back. He got a little closer as did I. “I like your outfit.” You smiled. “Thanks Johnny I wore it just for you.” His eyebrows raised and he chuckled. “Oh did you now?” You nodded.

He needs a new girlfriend and it is definitely going to be me.

Hey, hey, you, you

I could be your girlfriend

“You know I could probably be your girlfriend.” I was being serious but John B obviously didn’t care and he laughed in my face.

When is he going to realize that Sarah ain’t shit?

Hey, hey, you, you

I know that you like me

No way, no way

No, it's not a secret

It’s not a secret that John B is attracted to Y/n literally everyone sees it.

“So when you gonna realize that Y/n is better?” JJ asked John B while they were smoking together on the front porch.

“JJ shut up bro. I’m with Sarah and no one is going to change that.” JJ rolled his eyes. “Alright John B I’m just saying that Y/n is the better choice.”

Hey, hey, you, you

I want to be your girlfriend

“Johnny I want to be your girlfriend.”

“I’m with Sarah, Y/n.” I rolled my eyes.

“Yea not for long.” I say under my breath while walking away. “What was that?” I turned and smiled. “Nothing!”

You're so fine I want you mine you're so delicious

I think about you all the time you're so addictive

Don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright

There he is looking so delicious with that blonde bitch right next to him. My friends and I are on my boat and we can see the chateau from here. “I mean it’s disgusting!” I said while putting my glasses back on. My friend just rolled her eyes. “Y/n I’m sorry but they’re not breaking up.”

“She cheated like three times!” I said retaliating.

He will be mine.

Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious

And hell yeah, I'm the mother fucking princess

I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right

John B was walking around when he saw you shopping around. He went up to you to strike up a conversation. “Hey N/n.” I turn around with a big smile on my face.

God, he loved your smile.

“Hey Johnny Boy.” He sees all my bags. “So what’s the princess shopping for?”

“Um nothing?” He laughed at that. We just stared at each other. “Do you like me John B? And before you go ‘yeah!’ I mean really like me.”

He choked on his spit. “What?”

“John I know you like me but you’re ’with Sarah’. But once you see what everyone else is. You have my number.” I winked and left.

I mean you are the hottest girl on the island and you are John B’s type but he’s with Sarah.

‘I’m with Sarah.’ He repeats as he continues walking through town.

She's like so whatever

You could do so much better

I think we should get together now

And that's what everyone's talking about

“Sarah or Y/n?”

“Oh Y/n for sure.”

“I just don’t understand why he’s with someone like that.”

“I mean Sarah’s hot but not hot enough to stay after she cheated more than once.”

Those were some phrases I heard around the island. Everyone knows it but him. He’s blinded by ‘love’.

______

“You know people talk around here JB?” I told him when I saw him walk toward me. "Listen Y/n I know that we are kind of attracted to each other, but it can never happen."

"So, you admit it?"

"Admit what?"

"That you think I'm attractive." I start smiling. He just looks at me with pure confusion.

"That's not the point!"

"Whatever you say Johnny." I walked away.

He wants to be with me so bad it makes him look stupid.

Hey, hey, you, you

I don't like your girlfriend

No way, no way

I think you need a new one

"He literally said we both find each other attractive or attracted to each other I don't remember but is that not admitting something?!" I was at my friend's house waiting for her to get ready so we could go to this kegger. She came out finally ready. "You know Sarah is going to be there." I looked at her. "So?"

"I'm just saying I don't think she'll be very fond of the girl she doesn't like trying to steal her boyfriend." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, please that relationship was over the first time she cheated."

"Okayyy."

_____

I was at the kegger getting something to drink when I see Sarah Cameron storm up to me. I greet her with a smile. "Hey Sarah!"

"Don't 'Hey Sarah!" me!"

"Ok I sense some anger in your tone is there a reason?" She can tell I was trying not to laugh. How was I supposed to take her seriously? Someone like Sarah trying to act scary is such a joke.

"Yea there's a reason bitch. Why am I hearing that you're trying to get with my boyfriend?"

“Um because I am. I don't think he's good for you so I think he need a new girlfriend and that will be me so bye Sarah!" I walked away to tell my friend. She was obviously shocked that I didn't try to deny it. Which made her even more angry. I stopped and turned back around and walked to her the same way she walked to you. "And if you walk up to me like that again and curse at me like that again. I will have no choice but to slap the shit out of you. Muah Bye Sarah!"

John B saw the whole thing and didn't step in once. JJ was laughing and Kie and Pope were staring out of shock. This made him realize that you are the better choice but for some reason he just can't leave Sarah.

Hey, hey, you, you

I could be your girlfriend

After the kegger John B and Sarah had another falling out. When I heard of this I was ecstatic. It will finally happen, and I will have John B all to yourself.

I could be his girlfriend.

Hey, hey, you, you

I know that you like me

No way, no way

No, it's not a secret

I was walking around the shopping center when I see John B walk up to me. "Hey N/n."

"Hey Johnny."

"So its not a secret that I like you-."

“No, it’s not a secret.” I said shaking your head. He just laughed.

"But until I figure out this Sarah thing, we can't be together."

"So, it's possible?" I asked in a hopeful tone. He just nodded and walked away.

"Holy Shit!" I yelled out of excitement. Which called everyone to look at me, so you pretended you didn't know who yelled either.

I have a chance!!

Hey, hey, you, you

I want to be your girlfriend

"Hey N/n!" I heard John B yell out. I was sunbathing at the beach when he came over. "Hey Johnny."

"What are you doing?" I just look at him and motion to my setting. He just laughed nervously. We just stared at each other awkwardly. "Well, I'm gonna go." He just walked away.

"You know I want to be your girlfriend right Johnny?!" He put a thumbs up away still walking away.

I can see the way, I see the way you look at me

And even when you look away I know you think of me

I know you talk about me all the time again and again

I was at the country club waiting for my mom to be done with her massage. John B was waiting for his friends. They made eye contact, and I can see the way John B is looking at me, with pure desire. I was definitely looking at him the same way and I motion to come over. He points to himself. "Yes you." I mouthed. He slowly comes over.

So come over here and tell me what I wanna hear

Better, yet, make your girlfriend disappear

I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again

"Hey Johnny." I get closer to him trapping him against the wall and he looks pretty fond of it, so I stayed there. "Hey Y/n." I gasped, "You never called me that before?" He just shook his head looking for his friends.

"So, when are you breaking with her John B?"

"Uhm, I don't know I just never had the chance to do so." He said while running his hand through his hair. I rolled your eyes.

"Look Y/n I can't just break up with Sarah-."

"Don't say her name around me ever again.

Just get rid of her so I can have you, okay?" I walked away when I saw his friends come toward us.

JJ came in with wide eyes. "Why was she talking to you bro?!"

"Just shut up JJ."

cause...

She's like so whatever

And you could do so much better

I think we should get together now

And that's what everyone's talking about

"So, you might break up with her for Y/n?" Pope asked. The guys were on the boat just talking and drinking beer when the topic of Y/n was brought up.

"I don't know I mean I want to, but I can't just break up with her you know?" JJ and Pope just nodded.

"Yea you don't wanna be a dick, everyone is talking about it though. Some are even placing bets." JJ said.

"Fuck." John b said under his breath.

Hey, hey, you, you

I don't like your girlfriend

No way, no way

I think you need a new one

You're getting tired of waiting for John B to break up with Sarah. He keeps coming up with these bullshit excuses. Like just break up with her already. He needs a new one anyway. And that will be you.

Sounds pretty stalkerish but he will be yours.

Hey, hey, you, you

I could be your girlfriend

I mean it's not like I couldn't be a good girlfriend anybody could be a better girlfriend than Sarah Cameron.

He just can't see that yet but it's okay I'll wait a little longer for him to come to his fucking senses.

Hey, hey, you, you

I know that you like me

No way, no way

No, it's not a secret

I was laying down in your room when John B called me.

"Hey Johnny."

"Ima break up with her in a week, okay? Some shit happened and I'm definitely going to do it next week okay?" I didn't say anything out of pure shock.

"I really wanna be with you N/n. Don't think any different alright?"

Then he hung up.

Hey, hey, you, you

I want to be your girlfriend

After the call with John B it's been very evident that he is standing on his word. Sarah and he have been falling out and it's making me smile. It shouldn't but it does. I want to be his girlfriend anyway so why wouldn't I be happy?

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger

'Cause I can, 'cause I can do it better

There's no other, so when's it gonna sink in

She's so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?

Sarah and John B broke up.... finally.

In no time he will be wrapped around my finger. I mean what was he thinking anyway. I can do it way better than her anyway. I don't why it took that long to sink in. Now he is going to be my boyfriend.

Finally

Hey, hey, you, you

I could be your girlfriend

"Hey Johnny."

"Hey babe." He gave me a peck on the lips.

"Well that took a while didn't it?" He nodded.

"It did but hey, you're finally my girl." I smiled.

"Yea I am."

Hey, hey!

An: AHHHHHHH finallyyyy done with the story I hope you enjoy my lovers

[disregardcanon]

a timeline of major events leading up to and following the mormon rebellion

1839- the mormons, fleeing missouri, start their own super special theocratic city state of nauvoo

july 1844- having a super special theocratic city state culminates in its mayor-prophet-general being murdered

still 1844- after a struggle between different factions over succession, brigham young becomes the new president of the church and prophet. planning starts as to Where To Go and How

1846- the trip to utah starts and they winter in omaha

1847- HELL YEAH DESERET FOREVER BABY! time to establish a theocracy in the desert in that area that mexico owns on paper, but really, GOD owns it ;)

february 1848- control of deseret is officially transferred to the united states in the aftermath of the mexican american war

later 1848- young and his associates draft a petition to the US government for a territorial government headed by himself and others. they don't end up submitting it to the united states government, though, because of fears that a territorial government would not give them enough freedom. they will wait it out for either statehood or independence

1849- the government is declared as "the free and independent state of deseret" to remain so until the united states admits them as a state. which especially pre civil war would have given them a TON of leeway over what they're allowed to do. like keep a lot of their We're a Desert Theocracy With a Governor-President-Prophet in Charge!

1850- the us government doesn't care about your desert theocracy or the name you want to give it. you're the territory of utah and you're gonna LIKE IT! we'll let you keep your guy as governor though. i guess

1850-1851- non-mormons traveling to oregon and california winter in utah and have a Very Bad Time. people are not nice to them. the court system is BAD and the systems are rigged against the federal officers brought in to do these jobs.

brigham young tries to rally the different native american tribes in the region to his cause, because mormon theology teaches that they're also lost israelites. but he didn't consider any of their actual motivations or try to cater to those so beyond a few conversions and some fair weather friends who will work with anyone for the most money, he gets No Alliances TM

1852- polygamy is PUBLIC now! orson pratt let the rest of the world know that it's a thing we do and now we have to publicly defend it! ruh roh

1856- HEYOOO WE'RE DOING RELIGIOUS REVIVAL! right here! right now! you're confessing to sins! and you're confessing to sins! and YOU'RE confessing to sins! ones you probably didn't commit! heyooo come get your charismatic revivalism. time to atone for your sins with blood and then you'll get into heaven!

there were quite a few different recorded murders of mormons trying to leave at this time, including the famous parrish murders, where a father and one of his sons were killed trying to leave the territory. the other son escaped and ran to his uncle's, where he had to pretend nothing happened.

1857- mr. young you have been removed as governor of this territory, effective immediately.

brigham young: actually we are our OWN country none shall pass through our lands without a permit and we totally have talked to all of the native american tribes and they all will do exactly as i ask and i only hold them off as a gesture of goodwill ;) (this is not accurate! and we all know that!)

september 1857- this was the mountain meadows massacre. i'm not going to try to make a joke about the mountain meadows massacre because from around a hundred and twenty people traveling from arkansas to oregon were murder in cold blood AFTER they surrendered to the mormon militia. there isn't a single joke to be made here, and this event was covered up in various forms for a very long time.

the mormon militia burns and destroys US military supplies as the military escort comes with the new governor.

the church forces residents of the north and salt lake city to relocate south with the intention of destroying the settlements to make a statement. while they don't end up following through with the plan to destroy these homes, the forced relocation still happens.

when the military and the new governor arrives, the new governor decides to be The Lamest Stooge to Ever Lame. and basically lets brigham young tell him what to do and what to say, continuing a very similar line of power to what was already there. not to mention the presidential pardon that young and all involved got for most of the Illegal Dealings that they participated in that are known at the time.

the military isn't able to stay very long because the president has decided that accepting the "new governor" is basically enough, and with the looming threat of a proper civil war (which is just on the cusp of breaking out) there's not enough resources to expend on utah.

a judge tries very hard to uncover the truth of what happened at mountain meadows, which has been blamed entirely on native americans (only a few of which participated, all as free agents separate from a tribal affiliation) and he's not able to make things happen before the military is entirely recalled and along with that, any authority he had to make these things happen.

he DOES go on to help found nevada and take a large swath of territory out of brigham young's gaping maw, though, so that's. something.

i need to do more research from some additional sources but like. jesus CHRIST the... everything here. it's just so much

1877- brigham young finally drops dead and loosens his hold on the territory of utah

How about Lorenz/Leonie, Byleth (either)/Leonie, Ferdinand/Dorothea, Mercedes/Dedue, Marianne/Lorenz?

Lorenz/Leonie: It's an alright ship. I wouldn't mind reading it. I think it's just one of those supports that needed another round at the drawing board, since it leans so heavily on Lorenz's over the top sense of duty and separation due to the system of Fodlan. But I do like that he brings out some of the best of Leonie, as we see her more goal oriented side here. And Hopes did a lot for that dynamic.

Byleonie: I see it more as a sibling/one sided rivalry type ship. I understand Jeralt is important to both of them, but sometimes Leonie's admiration bordered a little too strong for my liking. I think these two can make a great team though. Still mad F!Byleth couldn't S-Rank her.

Ferdiethea: I need to write more for them in general. The growth they go through together, the shared history, the adorable flirting near the end in their supports. Hell, in Hopes, even the army ships them during their support conversation. It's just an absolutely solid ship all around. Also, the art by @floofnwool makes me swoon over this pairing all the time.

Though I also like the potential of sibling dynamics with them too. @thedarkivistwrites has a fantastic fic called "Someone Else's Story" that explores that headcanon quite well and made me fall in love with the idea of them having a sibling bond in some AUs.

Platonic or Romantic, their relationship is one perfect for an opera.

Mercedue: MY #1 DEDUE SHIP EVERYONE!!!!! I love the worldbuilding we get for Duscur here, and not only that, but seeing the two bonding over their different religions and their hopes for the future and memories of the past and how as long as you remember your loved ones they'll never truly be forgotten and his almost confession that came as they're discussing about a certain god to pray to? Honestly, Dedue is who I try to pair Mercedes with the most outside of Ashe and Dimitri. They're just....so good together. 😭

Marianne/Lorenz: I think this is my......third favorite Marianne ship? Yeah, definitely third. They're just absolutely sweet together, and I like how Lorenz isn't so forceful with Marianne in comparison to some of her other supports. And eventually, Marianne just naturally warms up to him, and I like that she eventually seeks him out for tea. They're so sweet.

My sister actually made a joke that Marianne's supports tend to follow the path of "Hey, you seem depressed. You should stop that! Here's what to do instead!" And while this is kind of how their Houses supports start, I love that it doesn't end that way, and he lets her move at her own pace. And in Hopes, I adore that it gets twisted around and goes "You seem depressed. That's bad. Especially on the battlefield. Do you want me to help you get home?" and eventually ends with "we shall both survive this war. Together."

Also, Lorenz being absolutely perplexed at their shared title of being basically the King and Queen of Ranch Animals? Top tier.

Totnt 1938! Episode 5 thoughts!

Spoiler Alert!

Hey! So I am back again with my thoughts coz as mentioned this is a routine thingy now for clearing my head. Also, whoever is reading them knows that it's mostly my boi Rang centred thoughts and a few rare other ones 😂. So yes, let's talk about how we felt about the episode:-

Okay, so first things first, I was a lil sad coz I felt my boy Rangie had less screen time today. I know, I knoww, some of it was because he was disguised as a baby. Oh God 😂 but yeah. This season has spoiled me a bit and I want to see him in every other scene coz last season, I used to have to search for his scenes like looking for needles in a haystack. Can't go through that again Mr writers. 🥺 Okay, done crying.

Finally, Rang and his fox eyes 😍.Him being disguised as the baby and the baby showing a middle finger to the cop 😂 my boy's voice in the background all pissed coz he is feeling all suffocated in that tiny body 😂 I love him. When they took a shot at the baby, that animated baby jump and roll was so hilarious and then Rangie finally there with a babyy hanky on his neck. Gonna cherish that scene.

I loved baby Lee Mi ho and I am sad that we had to say goodbye to her 🥺. Yeon and Shin-ju giving full goodbye speeches while Rang refuses to say anything. Gosh, his fear of attachment kills me. We all know he adores her, he knows he adores her but hell shall freeze over before he accepts that. Lee Mi ho being more open and stating that she prefers the Bandit. Gosh, how happy Rang was about it and his "you are not too bad yourself 🥺". This boy will kill me.

I also like Ryu hong joo, the more I get to know her.. She did irk me at a point of time with how she is incapable of taking a no. But if I don't look at it, I like her character. She is strong, smart and protects her people with a ferocity that's admirable. I am looking forward to seeing her.

I have said this before, saying it again, I want to know what's Cheon Moo-young's story. Yeon was almost as happy to see him alive as he was to see Rang but at the same time, he is also suspicious of him. I really think I am gonna get hurt for him though.

The last 10 mins of the show gave me life. They were my favourite moments. Everyone can guess why 😂 Rang is slowly starting to like Yeo-hee and it's pretty clear. I find them really cute. I loved how a jealous Yeo-hee pretty much destroyed the room and Yang found it cool. 😂 Boy was impressed with how strong she is. And Yeon and shin-ju spying on their dates and deciding how good of a match those two are. 😂 Ah, please don't ruin this for us later. I won't survive.

Now, one thing, one small conversation that I can't help but discuss is when Shin ju asks Yeon if he can actually leave Rang and go. And he mentions that he can not, that Rang would again think he is being abandoned. This topic is something that I have too many strong thoughts about and I won't get into all of them but I just wanna say, what else is Yeon expecting. I love this future Yeon and how much he cares about Rang but I don't get his plan of action. What are you planning to tell Rang and when, this Rang is someone whose last thought of you would be being stabbed by you and then being left for dead. Now, you are here being all nice and if you don't give him any context and up and leave him in a month, what else will he think. He will probably have to seek therapy to try and make sense of what just happened. For all the progress that this season has made, can we please have Yeon and Rang have a heart to heart conversation. Like please. Coz, right now even I don't understand your reasoning Yeon for a whole lot of things. I will make a separate post to rant about that sometime 😅 but hoping that we do get a heart to heart chat.

Look at this sassy motherf**ker. How am i supposed to not simp.

Mini Fanfic #1072: Anime Binging Night (Epithet Erased)

8:45 p.m. at STEM's Headquarters' Living Room.......

Yoomtah: (Smiles Brightly at her Boyfriend Beside Her) Alrightly then, Naven!~ What sort of anime you wanna binge through tonight that isn't One Piece related? Shonen, gorey, slice of life....(Gives Naven a Seductive Look on her Face) Maybe something more explicit to spice up the room if you know what I'm saying~ (Starts Moving her Eyebrows Up and Down)

Naven: (Smiles Sheepishly) H-How about we watch some more light-hearted this evening. Like that lovely Spy x Family show. I never had the chance to watch for myself as of late, but I have heard great things about from peers.

Yoomtah: Oh yeah, that show is a banger. And hella cute to boot, you'll love it!

Naven: I wouldn't deny that possibility. It'll be nice to take my mind off of things for once. Especially everything work related.

Yoomtah: Hell. YES! I am so tired of doing people's paperwork 24/7!!

Naven: You and me both, my dear. But at least we have the night to ourselves. Do you think Mr. Shades will be alright with the girls this evening?

Yoomtah: Oh he'll be fine! Our Ricky-Poo is a very strong wizard boi after all.

Naven: (Starta Snickering a Bit) Ricky-Poo?

Yoomtah: It's a nickname I came up for him. He calla me Yoomy all the time, which I for one adored a lot, so why not give him one of his own, you know?

Naven: I think it sounds lovely.

Yoomtah: Thank you!~ But enough about nicknames! Let's just focus on you, me.....(Hugs Naven While Having a Blanket Covering Around Them) And nthe nightly hours of cuddles you owed me~ (Starts Kissing Up on Naven's Cheeks)

Naven: (Chuckles Ticklishly by Yoomtah's Affectionate Kisses) Yes, yes~ Let's commence anime binging night, shall we?

A Few Episodes of Spy X Family Later.......

TV: LOIDDDYYYYYYYYYYY

Yoomtah: Hey, Naven?

Naven: Hm?

Yoomtah: Are you.....still thinking about that Molly kid in any way? You would always get sad whenever her name get brought up in any conversations. (Gently Pokes at Naven's Cheek) You're even making that cute frowny face every time something's bother you, which is pretty easy to tell if you ask me.

Naven: (Frowns While Sighing) Well....I suppose your observation of me isn't....too far fetched I'm afraid.

Yoomtah: (Softly Snuggles onto Naven) You wanna talk about it? I'm a fairly decent listener.

Naven: (Chuckles Very Lightly) You're a wonderful listener, dear. (Slowly Went Back to Frowning) But to answer your question, I have been thinking about Ms. Bylndeff as of late and thinking if.....not taking here with me was ever the best decision on my part, especially after everything that happened on that day.....

Yoomtah: You mean that whole dream bubble fiasco?

Naven: The very same, yes. I always figured she would trouble in her home life recently, but to witness how problematic it truly was at first hand....('Sigh') Well, I guess I can't say I know how to describe it really......

Yoomtah: Crappy, sucky, guilt-writtenny

Naven: The last one's not even a real compound word and I still find it accurate to my current feelings to the situation. I really wish I could be of more help to her on that day, but I knew I couldn't just....adopt her right off the bat. Especially given the excruciating work hours I have recently and the potential rumors journalists and the paparazzi would spread.....

Yoomtah: (Groans While Rolling her Eyes in Pure Annoyance) Ohhhh God don't even get me STARTED on those......Yesterday, some wise guy from the Sweet Jazz News Daily made a two page article on how you're completely out of the league you are to me and that I'm only dating you for money. Like.....THE HELL DO THEY MEAN YOU'RE OUT OF MY LEAGUE!? You're way more of a man than any of these brain dead morons would even try and DREAM of being! And did they REALLY think I would be that shallow enough to date you only for your riches? BULLSHIT! My limo driving career is paying me enough already, I ain't a shaneless gold digger! I swear, if I see ONE MORE journalist, paparazzi, or who the fucks starts getting into our business again, I am going to find myself a bat and shove it SO FAR UP THEIR-

Naven: Yoomie Dear....remember our anger management sessions and not raising your stress levels high.

Yoomtah: I AM CALM DAMNIT!

Yoomtah starts whimpering like a sick puppy as Naven soothes her anger away with his gently comfort and embrace.

Naven: There, there. It's alright. I agree with every word you said.

Yoomtah: (Looks Up at Naven With Sparkling Eyes) You do?~ Truly?~

Naven: (Chuckles Lightly) Of course. Molly is a timid girl and the last thing I want for her is to deal with these kind of nonsense on a daily basis, among other things.

Yoomtah: Yeah, I hear ya.....You said she was taken away by that Vincent Murder guy before I arrived at the toy store that night?

Naven: That's correct. Despite the name and villainous demeanor, he seems like a nice, passionate fello once you get to know him a little. Molly seems to hold him in high regards due to him being her boss in some capacity.

Yoomtah: Really now? So like what? Is he gonna try and look after her or something?

Naven: Given the care and support he gave her during that time, I'd say the possibility of that is above average. (Grabs his Chin While Thinking) Perhaps I could arrange a lunch date for the three of us sometime in the future....(Turns Back to Yoomtah) You're more than welcome to join us, dear.

Yoomtah: Hmm...Tempting, but I'm probably gonna have pass on that offer. I feel like I would get bored too easily in these kinds of meet ups, ya know?

Naven: Very well. The offer still stands if you ever decide to chance your mind.

Yoomtah: You got it. ('Sigh') But listen, Navey, you can't let what happened that day keep you down forever. That little girl still looks up to you despite everything, right?

Naven: Well, I mean....I suppose so, but-

Yoomtah: And does she feel any sort of malice or resentment towards you in anyway?

Naven: Well, no, not really, bu-

Yoomtah: Then you got nothing to worry about, bug doof!~ You may never be an ideal parental guardian, but that doesn't change the fact that you're still her teacher. And you and i know damn well that a teacher's job is to educate and guide them into being decent citizens of an overly obnoxious society.

Naven: (Smiles Sheepishly) I wouldn't exactly say that they're all obnoxious. But you're right. It won't do me any good if I keep dwelling on the incident any further. I will do better as a teacher and mentor for now on, that, I can promise you.

Yoomtah: (Happily Snuggles onto Naven Some More) That's the spirit, Navey!~ You're making your cute girlfriend proud here!~

Naven: Oh I wouldn't say you're cute exactly. You're more of the line if being beautiful and breath-taking all things considered.

Yoomtah: (Snorts in Laughter) I'm really flattered, babe!~ But I am FAR from being the most beautiful girl out there.

Naven: (Smiles Softly) Perhaps to some, but I beg to differ. (Gives Yoomtah a Kiss on the Forehead) It's one of the many reasons why I love you after all.

Yoomtah's heart flutters like a sound of a roaring car engine being turned on for the first time in minutes, as she begins to kiss all over her boyfriend's face again in a cuddling position. As surprising as the sudden affection was, Naven was more than happy to welcome it given how stressful today truly was for him earlier.
