Will never not be interesting to me that Sqq refers to himself with his real name like- in maybe fucking twice different situations in the whole novel?

But the fandom will always call him by it, since that's his real name, that's Shen Yuan for everyone (Ignore that he gets highly mischaracterized 60% of the time too, that's topic for another day and how his unreliable narrator persona worked in the fandom)

That's one thing and then there's Sj literally hating his names. Both Qingqiu and Jiu

It's just, i don't know, interesting-

Shen Yuan on one hand borrows a name he didn't earn nor he wanted, but he doesn't tell anyone, he never attempts to change it back (When he uses the plant body he doesn't use Yuan, mind you), because that's him, hell i'll be almost to say he prefers the fucking "Peerless Cucumber" alias over both names, maybe something about feeling more like himself as who he was online than in reality, who knows

Shen Jiu earns a name trying to scape a past that holds him like chains just for that name to turn into a cage too because it keeps reminding him that he can't run from said past one way or the other, it ties him still to the one person he'd rather forget, it still makes him numbered in a way, because well, isn't he the second one on Cang Qiong?

The fact that Sy doesn't have anyone to call him by Yuan and Sj hates the only person who calls him Jiu

Then again, me thinking of the hanged man card in tarot, someone who's trapped by circumstances out of their control, except for the fact that they kept deciding to make it worse under the belief that there was nothing else to do about it

Sy? He says it himself, Binghe had to go to the abbys, but there was nothing preventing him from saying something about it, for coming up with a reasonable explanation, nothing to stop him from going with him even, he had to make sure he went, it never said he had to push him off with the tip of his sword while giving the child insecurities and a heartbreak

Sj? Sure, bitch ass childhood, abused mentally and physically, I'm not gonna be a hypocrite on calling him out for the kills because another character i love did the same fucking thing (For worse, i'd argue tho), but here goes the thing, after he did all that, he decided fuck everyone else, he got pain so pain for everyone else it was, he decided that rather than try and be nice if they can't take the minusculous and mean painted bits of kindness he gives then they weren't worth his time because there was no point in explaining himself to dumbasses, no point if everyone is going to not believe you (Even if you have given no reason to do so but all not to) He's going to make a child who was "luckier" than him get bullied and try to kill him, it's not like anyone would to anything (Poetic irony, aint it? Nobody would've cared about a slave, nobody would care for this orphan disciple)

Now, this is not me being mean, i love both characters deeply, which also means i like to see how they make mistakes, how they're wrong, it's part of their damn growth that i love them for. Sy was wrong because he didn't consider himself important to Binghe, to anyone, because he was afraid and didn't think anyone would understand or believe him (Even if he had given all reasons to do so and non not to), because he cares too much about others and not himself and because this also leads him to think that he cannot be part of someone's happiness, or maybe even to what he considers happiness, he blindly believes into what society/the system (Arguably a very good metaphor for it) tells him it is without questioning what makes him happy and without asking the people he wants it for if it makes them happy, which is the whole point!

Until he realizes that this vision is wrong he can't change, it's not Binghe and him "fucking" to save the world, is them coming to an understanding that what makes them happy it's not just physical or sexual, is the feelings, the bond! It's not that Sy did that, it's that he kept Binghe's pendant, it's them talking, it's not that Binghe just wanted his body, is that all he wanted was to be loved, it's the whole thing between the difference of Bingge and Bingmei, Bingge has a million wives who fill his lust but Bingmei and Sy could continue on living without it so long as they had each other still, and Sy didn't understand that, both because of his deeply internalized homophobia and machism, because society told him those weren't part of happiness, because of this he thought Binghe would obviously be "happier" with a million women clinging to him for nothing but sex than staying with his Shizun who cared for him

And Sj too! He's an interesanting character because he's an asshole, he was the goddamn villain of a stallion novel! You just know he was shitty and a bastard, he was scum, it's in the damn tittle! He might've had a traumatic past that made him who he is, but again, as Sy aknowledges, that doesn't justify all the shit he pulled, that we know little of actually, there's also something to say about him being accused of abusing Yingying just for Airplane to say that Bingge forced himself into many, many women! There's also how he paralels the Huan Hua palace Master in their deaths, because as much as we hate that guy, i'm sure we would've hated the og Sqq!

And also his relationship with Yqy! It's what i said before, he wouldn't explain himself to anyone because no one would believe him so what was the point? Everyone will make their own assumptions, and then he turns around and does the same shit to Yqy! (Not that Yqy tried either because he has a sort of atlas complex but that's another topic) He's a huge hypocrite and that's GOOD, because he's meant to be a villain, he's not a hero, and he doesn't overcome this things because he was never meant to be one, he's not redimable, because again, he was never meant to be and he never did anything to be so, he got shit trhown and him and decided to throw it back just like Bingge does

If Airplane had actually put the backstory into the book as he originally wanted to, it would've made Sqq a more compelling villain, someone with layers, but it wouldn't have changed all that Sqq did, and we see it because we're 2-3 years into Sqq already being shitty to Binghe when the novel starts! Sy discovers all this past and it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else but himself, the system and Yqy at the end, hell, Yqy makes it even more interesting when he's in the mix for this because they share parts of said past and still are so different

Anyway, i don't know how this scalated into this huge analisis (is that how You spell it?) and this are just my thoughts, mind you, you can have your own and i would love to hear them out too

This is just part of my personal interpretation for things and what i was thinking back when i first read svsss last year, maybe when i eventually re-read it i'll change My opinion of discover more info

Hello, Kaitie

About the Shen Yuan is the System AU...............

How evil do you think Cucumber is going to become when he finds out Airplane is the other transmigrator? No, better yet, how panicked Airplane gets when he finds out WHO is in charge of his System now?

Do you think Airplane wakes up one day, his System blasting alerts and blinking red while he is still trying to understand whats happening? It was his of day too! The first one after three years of plot nonsense! It takes him a moment to open all the notifications and when he does... He finds a very particular pattern of writing, one that he hasn't seen since he woke up in his own story.

I bet he'd be shiting bricks. Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky would be falling into his knees the moment he finishes reading all the 267 messages left by Cucumber and starts begging for mercy.

But Cucumber at this point doesn't see Airplane as a peer, or someone besides the hack author that deserves to suffer for what he wrote.

And he is an internet troll.

Airplane is a master of crying, and he has refined the most pathetic meowmeow acting show to perfection, but the bigger question is...

Would it work on Cucumber bro?

ah the cackling i did when I opened this, bless u friend

Let's talk about the SYstem, if you will

I have soooo many ideas about how that would go down. Because the System just treats SQH like any other transmigrator, I don't think SY figures it out immediately. And I will give SQH the peace of mind and say the System only picks up thoughts directed at it, it won't be sending SY every stray thought SQH has - both of them would try to off themselves if it did I think

Airplane figures it out first. Clearly. SY is distinct in his patterns and of all the things Airplane forgot about his first life - he remembered Peerless Cucumber's handle. He KNOWS this motherfucker. Better than SY knows him since he never figured out Airplane had burner accounts. So finding all these messages from THE SYSTEM that are now distinctly less robotic and many times more unhinged by sheer volume - boy is pacing around An Ding and just shrieking.

Gotta play it cool though. Gotta not let his biggest anti know he is holding his already pathetic life in his grubby hands. WHO GAVE HIM THIS POWER?? He takes back everything he said about the OG System. He wants that old piece of shit back!

When he braces himself enough to finally reply "S-system?"

<Oh good! You're awake!> and why is that the most haunting thing he's ever heard. The voice is still... robotic, but there's emotion there now, something human behind the wheel. <Did you get my messages?>

"Ha.. ha. Yeah. Airplane's 10K a day has nothing on you, huh transmigrator bro?"

Oh and there he goes. The ranting. Direct into his noggin. Love it. Great. His second life wasn't hell enough!!

He tries - valiantly - to hide he's Airplane for awhile. He gives one of his burners (Mobei's Popsicle) and SY spends awhile cackling about how fitting it is for him to be Mobei's dog now. Which. Rude. Uncalled for. His King didn't kick dogs. He kicked SQH.

SY is, shockingly, empathetic for all his teasing. He chats with Airplane as he reviews past missions and such Airplane has been dealing with for the last quarter of a decade. And tells him more about his hidden stats and the status effects he's placed on other NPCs and events than the System EVER did.

He really, earnestly, wants to improve the story. To give characters growth and more fitting ends. So that the world around Binghe is as vibrant and cool as he is.

It's honestly a little sweet. He only ever saw the rage thrown his way. He never really understood why Cucumber kept reading. He remembers his unfinished drafts, the original notes. He thinks this guy would have actually enjoyed his writing then.

<...>

SQH freezes and swears and there is yelling. Obviously. He still has his work to do on the peak and one of his shidis (he's still only head disciple, though the current lords are preparing to step down soon) probably gives him a look wondering if he's about to qi deviate or something when he's just clutching his head and yelling at... something. But then again this is An Ding. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with stress. They shrug and leave him to it for now, give it ten minutes, if he's still freaking out THEN they'll fetch shizun.

BUT! This transmigrated SY has not suffered bs or recently lost his sweet disciple to the abyss when he meets Airplane. So there is just. Normal Shrieking. He does threaten a punishment protocol but decides against it because really. This man, crouching and sniveling in the dirt, who has spent more of his life HERE then in the real world...is just very.... well. He's like a wet cat. Incredibly pathetic and likely to make SY irritated if he spends too long in his presence.

In the darkness of the System, Shen Yaun just pinches his nose again and waves a digital hand. <That confirms it. YOU are fixing this mess.>

Airplane just... lays down in the dirt for awhile and looks up at the sky. How did this happen. Why did this happen. What fucking atrocities did he do in a life he clearly cannot recall to deserve any of this??

"UUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHHHH."

"Shixiong?" There's suddenly a round faced disciple leaning over him, blocking the view of the sky and cutting through Peerless fucking Cucumber's ranting. "Are you dying?"

"No, but if you like your shixiong even a little you will kill him. Go on. Show shixiong how strong you are."

The younger boy huffs and, gently, pokes Shang Qinghua's head with his foot. "No way. I don't want your chores."

Critics all of them.

dark star!johnny cage > against the world

what it's like dating the evil version of hollywood's golden boy. it's not all fun and games, even if that's how he sees it

warnings: lowkey abusive relationship like just straight up. yandere. lil smutty but nothing horrifically graphic.

notes: listened to "wrap me in plastic" and "watch me work" while writing LMFAO also please god the coat stays ON ‼️‼️‼️‼️ hes so scrummy i need him biblically

masterlist <3

part 2* / part 3* / part 4* / part 5* / part 6*

•first of all, dark star!johnny is so incredibly emotionally immature. he's a whiny bastard fr. hell hath no fury like a white man that's in the wrong during an argument with his girlfriend

•"baaaabe what's wrong?? it was just a joke!" after he says you're a 6/10 compared to a model on his phone. ZERO awareness.

•WALL PUNCHER. IM JUST BEING HONEST. your beautiful pale pink walls have so many shoulder-height white patches from you having to fix the wall every time his water has an inadequate amount of cucumber slices.

•he's got the same upbringing as the better johnny, shitty dad and dead mom. he just never really knew how to cope with it. equally as famous as his counterpart, he prefers throwing punches in action flicks. he's just somehow more of a dick about it.

•pampered to holy hell between shots, all relaxed in his chair with his name embroidered on it while one woman tends to his makeup, another to his hair, a third feeding him water. it's how he wants it to be, he needs to be perfect. he is perfect.

•spends like two hours getting ready, most of the time is spent on his hair. you tell him it'd be more efficient to trim it down a couple inches but he likes the way it flops over. you also like the way it falls in front of his face during his stunts. he's just so effortlessly sexy.

•uses his height and physique to his advantage. he loves backing you into corners and looming above you menacingly to watch you squirm, flustered. his large sunglasses reflect your pathetic little face.

•now with you, he loves to show you off, but not enough for you to steal the spotlight. you're his favorite little accessory that hangs off his arm. he chooses your outfits when you make public appearances. INSISTS on matching all the time. misty blue dress with gold jewelry to match his obnoxiously large coat.

•the good johnny plays things up for the camera and saves the sweetness for behind closed doors. dark star!johnny doesn't know when to turn off "camera mode." bro will not be sweet with you unless it gets him brownie points after he fucks up.

•he's so unfair. women fawn over him constantly and he smiles all smugly and leans into their touches. but if a man so much as looks at you for more than a couple seconds, he's beating the guy in moments.

•hates it when you find joy in other people. he will constantly fill you with thoughts that everyone will leave you one day for one reason or another, and that you should feel lucky that a world famous actor wants you.

•will make you turn against people you hold dear, he cuts them out of your life so they can't influence you like he does. this man is a smooth talker and hardcore manipulator that'll leave you anxious when you talk to anyone but him. he has you thinking everyone's out to get you.

•"come on baby, you really think they'd love you like i do? don't be delusional. it's just you and me against the world, you got it?"

•you guys have had so many public scandals, you're the main source of income for the TMZ employees.

•sex tape here, public screaming match there

•speaking of which this dude FUCKS. HARD. :3

•johnny will literally pound you into oblivion whenever he pleases. he prefers doggystyle so he can use your hair as leverage. sometimes he reaches forward and holds your jaw, chest pressed against your back as he mercilessly fucks you. he totally gets himself off on your pathetic moans.

•records it every time. partially to jerk off to later, partially as leverage against you.

•"you like that?" he'll ask in that low growl, somehow hitting even deeper. "nobody can fuck you like i do. so don't even fucking think about leaving - ngh -"

•after an argument, you'll find gorgeous purses or necklaces on your shared vanity. not because he's sorry, but because he knows you'll forget about how annoying he can be when he shells out a couple thousand on a gift for you.

•you could honestly probably do better, but who's gonna say no to johnny cage?

Dating Raiden headcannons

-Despite his tough exterior and serious demeanor, he is the sweetest, most protective and loving baby boy in the world, he just doesn't know how to express it.

-Wants nothing more than to protect, care for, and cherish you for the rest of his life.

-While Raiden has no nicknames for you, as he just calls you by your name, Jack does.

-And OHHH BOOOY are there many, not all of them good. He calls you Sweetie, Babe, Dollface, Sexy, Hot stuff, Psycho, B*tch (affectionately), and Mine.

-Loves to do arts and crafts with you, those long nails claws of his are perfect for precise placements of tiny materials, cutting tiny objects with remarkable accuracy, and can also be dipped in paint to create perfectly thin lines.

-Will also let you paint his metal nails, though you'll have to do it often because the polish gets chipped a lot during battle; it's honestly a miracle if the coats stay on for more than 24 hours.

-Loves it if you help him polish, clean and/or buffer his armor.

-You are free to use his face however you please, no not like that don't get dirty thoughts now you can paint it, cover him in makeup, or make goofy masks for him to wear--he'll do it all.

-Very protective of you and cuddles you whenever you have a nightmare or just need him in general, though you must voice your needs, or he'll just lay there like the metal plank he is.

-Sometimes his alter ego Jack gets out without his permission (no idea how that happens), prompting a dramatic change in behavior and speech. He essentially becomes a different person--but that doesn't stop you from living your best life with him. You and Jack manage to get along very nicely.

-Trains you so you can always be ready for battle, because he knows someday, he might not be around to protect you.

-Randomly comes up to you and drapes himself across your lap, then just lounges there, pretending he doesn't notice you're sitting there. He'll just sit there, scrolling through his phone or reading a book, casually ignoring your existence.

-It's OK though, cause the weight and warmth from him is quite nice.

-Smells like cucumber baby wipes.

-Sometimes steals your eyeliner when his runs out.

-When you guys go to the store, people get really confused cause they see the bar code on his head and wonder if he put that there as a joke or if he's actually a piece of merchandise that somehow came to life and is now roaming free.

-If Raiden is in control, nothing notable happens, but if it's Jack, he slices the cashier's head in half when the cashier attempted to scan his head, then says with a smirk: "Don't even think about it, I already belong to someone."

-You guys should probably use the self checkout from now on.

I love you all immensely. Take care. 💖

"Remember the rules, pet," Mr. Laufeyson reminds you as you pass beneath an iron archway covered in ivy and roses.

"Yes..." your voice trails off as your mouth falls open in awe.

It's a fairytale. Even more beautiful than his own garden. There's a fountain at the center of the long drive, round hedges framing it and mosaic stone all around. Petals flutter on bushes and grass sprawls all around, marble statues and stone benches speckled over the expanse. The house is built of white brick with figures of sprites and elk along the facade.

"...Mr. Laufeyson," you finish breathily.

"Yes, it is rather marvelous," he says without genuine reverence. "I assume mother will be using it as her venue for Walpurgisnacht, however, she may just as easily book the banquet hall in the next city."

"Oh," you utter.

"Not to worry, she will likely have much sorted out already. It's why I wonder at her insistence that you accompany me. She is ever decisive and much prefers doing things by her own hand," he steers around the curve of the drive and stops just before the steps. "Suppose we must take it in stride."

He flips the engine and it quiets. Birds cheep and insects hum just outside. He unclicks his seatbelt and you mirror him, climbing out just a hair after he does. You turn to gape up at the facade once more as you shut the door gently.

Mr. Laufeyson comes around and heaves, "well, then--"

"Should I get the bags?"

"Don't bother, the help will deal with it," he assures and points you ahead.

He walks beside you, stretching his neck as he pushes his head side to side. He extends his fingers and rolls his shoulders. Still the tension nestles once more in his posture. You take the steps one at a time and fall a pace behind him. He marches ahead to the doors and waits for you to catch up before he pulls it open.

You step inside and quickly slip off your shoes as you eye the shining floor. It's just as immaculate, if not more, than his estate. You try to imagine how long it would take you to clean it on your own. Maybe that's why you're here.

"Darlings," Frigga trills as she appears in an archway to your left, "oh, you have arrived."

She goes to you first and kisses both your cheeks, barely glancing off your chin. Then she turns to Laufeyson and cradles his cheeks as she admires him, "I'm so happy you came."

"Mmm, and father knows we were invited?"

"Of course," she tuts as she draws away from him, "tell me, have you eaten? You were on the road such a long time. I have cucumber sandwiches and some iced berry tea."

"I'm not hungry," Laufeyson mutters as he peers around, almost expectantly.

"What about you, hon?" She takes your hand.

"Um, I..." you look to Laufeyson for your answer but your stomach growls before you can answer.

"Feed her," he says as he flutters his fingers, "get her settled. I think I can keep myself entertained."

You frown guiltily. You didn't mean to disobey him. His eyes dull with that unimpressed haze as he turns on his heel and strides away.

"I believe your brother is outside," she calls after him.

"Thank you for warning me," Laufeyson as he scoffs and disappears through another doorway.

"Ugh, boys," she chides, "pray you only ever have one son, though a brood is never a bad thing."

She turns, her hand still around yours as she drags you through the gilded archway. You let her as you drink in the beauty around every corner and crevice. This is like a dream. You've never seen anything like it. Not outside movies. You remember that one you watched on cable with Anne Hathaway. You only saw half before your father shut it off.

"Please sit," she takes you to the long white island and gestures to a tall velvet stool, "Loki didn't say if you were coming or not. I'm so happy you did."

She releases you and goes to the other counter, takes a scalloped plate and fills it with all sorts of food from platters. She brings it to you and watches you across the narrow island. "So, tomorrow, I must look at flowers. We have a healthy supply in the greenhouse but I think a few exotic breeds would do well. Then we will go to the bakery to arrange desserts and the like. Oh, the winery may need to wait until Sunday..."

She tallies off her to-dos as you nod along. Her own long list jumbles with your own in your head. You blink at her as she prattles on.

"Darling, please eat," she interrupts herself, "anyhow, as I was saying, perhaps we could make a special day of it. A day at the winery then the spa."

You nibble on the corner of the cucumber sandwich, grateful for the excuse not to respond. You doubt she'd hear you if you did. Your stomach roars in delight as you feed it, only then realising how hungry you truly are. You weren't very concerned with your appetite as the motion of the car roiled your stomach but now, you're ravenous.

Your mind wanders back to the long drive. You turn your gaze away, afraid Frigga might see your thoughts. The same sets in as the memory sinks in your brain. You can't believe you did that to him. While he was driving, too.

"Oh, goodness me, you must be so tired and hear I am blabbing your ear off," she clucks, "I forgot the tea... unless you prefer wine."

"Tea," you answer abruptly, recalling the last time you drank. You won't give Mr. Laufeyson any reason for distaste. "Thank you."

"Aw, so polite, dear," she preens, "are you excited for Walpurgisnacht?"

You twist your lips and swallow a mouthful, "um, sure... what is it?"

"My, I didn't even think," she pours a glass of deep red iced tea into a tall glass. She nears you again and places it by your plate. "May Eve. It's a celebration of Springtime, to embrace love and fertility."

"Mm, oh," you furrow your brow. That's odd.

"Yes, we will have many visitors to help us celebrate. And some games too. Mostly drinking and food, as is our way," she explains, "I can't believe this will be your first Walpurgisnacht! How delightful."

You nod and take another bite. It's almost nice how she assumes most things aren't a first for you. How she treats you like somehow you belong here.

"I didn't even think," she taps her manicured finger on the marble, "I should've invited your father. I know he's sick but it is always good to have family close."

You almost choke. You gulp and lower your eyes. You reach for the tea to wash away the sudden bitter taste on your tongue.

"Oh, I hope... I hope he is okay," she says.

"He's... he's fine," you sniff, "he's... mad at me. We aren't... we aren't speaking."

"How tragic," she touches her chest, "Loki didn't say a word. Well, then... dear, are you alright? Where are you staying?"

Your chest sinks. Of course, he wouldn't talk to her about you and explain everything that's gone rotten. You are still just the house manager to her.

"Mr. Laufeyson kindly offered--"

"Oh, I know, I know he would," she sounds ready to cry, "my son can be so caring. It's a pity he holds it in."

"Yeah, uh, it's very nice of him," you pick away a stip of crust.

"I didn't mean to bring up sour grapes," she says, "I'm sure everything will be alright. These things happen. Families fight but they always come back together. Gosh, if only you knew the state Loki left in last time. He and his father had such a row. Not to mention he wouldn't even speak with his own brother for well over a year. Stubborn."

You look at her in surprise. It's not that Laufeyson isn't cold and distant, it's just that you didn't expect all that information dumped on you. You want to ask why but know better than that.

"I only hope things go better this time," she says.

You nod and pick up a grape from the plate. You really hope so too. As long as you follow the rules, it should.

✨

After you eat, Frigga takes you on a tour of the immense house. You don’t remember where most things are as you remain astonished by the grandeur. You can barely imagine spending the night. The thought that she lives here every day is astounding. She is the luckiest woman in the world.

She takes you up the wide staircase with its curved banisters and shows you the upper floor. You yawn behind your hand, caught as she peeks back at you. You drop your hand and smile, flicking your eyes as you try to seem more awake.

“Oh dear, are you tired?” She preens, “let us show you your room.”

“It’s okay–”

“Rest is important, and a part of Walpurgisnacht. It’s about renewal so you must take care,” she reproaches, “I made up a room just for you.”

“You did?” You murmur as she waves you ahead.

“Oh, yes, of course, like I said, I’ve been looking forward to this very much,” she chimes, “just here,” she opens the left side of a double door. You admire the patterns carved beneath the layer of champagne-tinted paint. “I believe the staff will have brought your bags already.”

“Um, thank you,” you smile nervously, “it’s all very wonderful…” You gaze around the room, “it’s too much.”

“Not at all,” she touches your arm gently, “I know my son can be a stickler, whoever knows where he got that from. You are here to enjoy yourself.”

“Thanks,” you rub your palms together, “for everything. It’s so nice.”

“Certainly dear,” she touches your cheek gently, “should you need anything, you can tap this button.” She points to a tiny silver button by the light switch, “Hilde will be around.”

“Hilde,” you nod, “okay. I think I’ll be fine.”

“Oh, you are so sweet,” she preens, “please don’t hesitate to ask for anything.” She squeezes your shoulder, “please make yourself at home.”

She leaves you with a gentle click of the door. You hesitate at the threshold, terrified of tainting the perfection of the room. There’s a four-postered bed, the sort you dreamed about as a girl, with a white frame and bedding in the same hue, trimmed in silver. The night tables have curled feet and a matching wardrobe stands against the wall.

There’s a vase of flowers arranged on the vanity and a rug with dainty roses patterned on it beneath the foot of the bed. Each piece matches the next, gilded in silver, with a touch of colour here and there. The windows are tall and open, letting in the last of the morning hues. You are overwhelmed with the sheer beauty of this place.

Your luggage stands beside the bed. Just yours. Does that mean you’ll be sleeping alone? Perhaps that is for the better. It wouldn’t be seemly for Mr. Laufeyson to be commingling so closely with his house manager.

You should find him and let him know which room is yours. You go to the door and stop yourself. It feels wrong to go off roving through the house. No, you should stay and listen. You’re certain he wouldn’t be far from you. That only makes sense, doesn’t it?

You linger by the door, ear to the crack between the doors as you listen to the house. Nothing more than a distance scuff here or there. Not until you hear hinges catch for just a moment. You hold your breath and try to see between the doors but can’t.

Footsteps, long and deliberate. That has to be Laufeyson, right? You hope that it is. You wait for them to pass before you open the door and peek out. Oh no! It’s not Mr. Laufeyson.

Before you can retreat and hide, the gray-haired man stops. He has broad shoulders and his arms are bent behind him, one hand balled in another. You gulp and slowly pull back but it’s too late as the man pivots on his heel.

“I suppose my son told you it was best to avoid me,” the man says, his tone rigid but not unkind.

“Um,” you let go of the door and step up, slumping your shoulders as you stare at his suede slippers. “No, sir, I only… thought you were Mr. Laufeyson.”

“Mr. Laufeyson,” he scoffs, “you must be the one my wife spoke so highly of.”

“Sir,” you dip your head lower.

“Odin,” he offers as he comes closer, little by little, as if approaching a skittish deer, “father of Mr. Laufeyson,” he snorts and offers his hand, “and your name?”

You accept his hand meekly and mutter your name. He grips you firmly, warmly and gives a short shake. He keeps a hold of your hand and turns it, placing his other hand over your knuckles.

“Let me have a look at you,” he urges you into the hall, “my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be.”

You let him lead you further out. You bite your lip and exhale. You unpinch your teeth and lift your head. You look at him, squirming as he considers you. His steely hair is brushed back from his face and small coils gather behind his ears and neck. His eyes are blue and vibrant, like Thor’s, and his face is creased with and determination.

“Now,” he smiles, “how did my son capture a lovely creature like you?”

“Sir?”

“Please, Odin will do nicely,” he pats your hand, “may I use your name?”

“Yes, s– Yes, Odin,” you correct yourself.

“Wonderful, it’s a beautiful name,” he brings your hand up and kisses it, “it fits you well.”

He finally lets you go and you feel your cheek burn. You don’t know how to react. With everything you heard, you expected a horrible, grumpy old man. Someone like your own father. Yet, he’s just as pleasant as Frigga.

“Thank you,” your lips curve just a little.

“Polite little thing,” he muses, “do you like chocolate?”

“Pardon?” You’re taken aback by his question.

“Chocolate,” he repeats, “Loki hasn’t much of a sweet tooth and the other one would devour them all. I’ve got some truffles, would you like one?”

“Well, I… er,” you rub your neck, “I wouldn’t want to bother,” you stammer.

“Bother? Why ever would I ask if it was?” He dismisses, “you are my guest, I do prefer to know those who are staying under my roof. I would be a shit guest otherwise.”

You scrunch your lips up at his profanity. He notices the wince and he chuckles, bring his fingertips to his chin, “excuse my language.”

“It’s okay,” you assure him, “um, sure, I will have some chocolate… Odin.”

“Ah, wonderful, just this way,” he points you towards the other end of the hall, “this is part of the trap you see,” he says as he ushers you along, “I keep them in my office.”

He laughs and you join in thinly. You’re not sure he’s entirely kidding. He shows you into his office. The decor is wrought in gold and oak. It reminds you a little of Laufeyson’s study in the style, but not the colours.

“You will have your chocolate,” he assures as he closes the door, “but first, you will tell me how you ended up with that son of mine.” He strides around the desk as you hover across from him. He pulls out a drawer as you clasp your hands tight. You can’t tell him everything.

“How…” you utter.

“Yes,” he pulls out a square red box, “he hardly seems your type.”

“Oh, well, I am only his house manager,” you shrug.

“Sure, if that’s what he tells you to say, say it,” he tuts, “but it doesn’t mean I must believe it.”

You drop your head and frown. You’re a poor liar but you don’t dare tell the truth. He sighs and you peek up from under your lashes.

“Not to worry, I keep a promise,” he comes around and offers the open box of truffles, “this one is dark with raspberry, you might like it? Or this one, strawberry and cream,” he points to a dark bulb, then a white one sprinkled with pink sugar, “perhaps you will surprise me.”

You shyly reach for the box and pick out the plainest of the bunch. You thank him quietly and stare at the treat. He knows you’re lying and he’s still being kind. You wish you could tell him the truth, maybe he could help you understand it. Yet, the thought of saying it all out loud suffocates you in flames.

“Crushed toffee,” he says, “my favourite.”

“Oh, uh,” you hold it out.

“No, no, you have it,” he insists as he strolls back around his desk, “I am hardly interested in talking about my son, so let us not dwell on him. Tell me about you.”

“Me?” You blink.

“Yes. Do you read? Do you enjoy music? What are your favourites?”

You stand there, holding the truffle, speechless. You don’t know what to say. You are boring. No one ever cared about any of those things, so much so, that you never much thought of them yourself.

“Please, sit,” he takes his own advice and lowers himself into the leather chair, “enjoy your chocolate, then you may answer my questions.”

Happily Unrequited

tags: gn!reader

a/n: first writing-related post for 2024 and this idea hasn't left me alone for the past couple of days. so i figured why not make a hc post for it

"it's okay i wasn't shooting my shot or anything. i already know you don't feel the same way, i definitely am not saying anything because i thought i was seeing signs you liked me back or anything like that. i just wanted you to know. just act the same as you usually do."

your feelings aren't requited but you're surprisingly okay with that. the real question is whether or not they are as okay with as you are.

avoids you

MEGUMI tries to treat you as normal but it starts getting into his head all the signs he's missed. it becomes blatantly obvious now that you've pointed it out. you're not flirting with him or making any moves on him, no. but now megumi hears the affectionate lilt in your tone. he sees the adoration in your eyes. it's all directed at him and he doesn't really know how to process that and still act the same. he asks you once why you wanted to tell him how you felt when he didn't feel the same way. you simply tell him "i just wanted you to know you're loved." when megumi draws back, you decide to give him space for a while to process everything. surprisingly irritated by how easily you give it to him but megumi reminds himself he placed the distance between you both first.

NOBARA you're acting normal and it's unfair. she doesn't understand how you're able to drop such a big thing on her and then continue on your merry way like it's nothing. you have to be testing her. in her mind, it becomes a competition of sorts to act more nonchalant about your confession. apparently, the best way for her to do that is by avoiding you. her friends tell her she's losing in a battle that you don't even know you're fighting. nobara doesn't want to admit herself that she is more bothered by this sudden revelation than she says she is. is doubly upset if you don't try and reach out when she avoids you and that causes her to storm over to you one day on campus about it. "i just thought you needed space so i didn't want to bother you." why is she the one loosing the idgaf war?

normal

YUUJI takes everything in stride. you're still one of yuuji's closest friends and that's what truly matters here. his love for you may be different than your love for him, but at the end of the day you both want to be in each other's life still. that's what truly counts here. very little, if anything, changes in your dynamic with yuuji. you still sleepover at each other's place, you still window shop at the mall and enable each other's dumb impulse purchases and you still text each other in class about the newest chapter of a manga you're both reading. the continued normalcy makes you feel warm and satisfied. does feel overly conscious about talking about people he is into though now that he knows how you feel for him. it's somewhat dampened by how you talk about your class and celebrity crushes around him like normal. he guesses you got over him relatively quickly then.

KENTO cool as a cucumber, he accepts your feelings in stride just as you. asks if you need space for a while but you grin and say you're fine. you confessed for the freedom and closure having made peace with everything ages ago before you said anything. "just know your loved, ken," you told him life goes on from there and you continue on your daily habits. unconsciously enjoys all the little things. he wonders occasionally how much of the minute details you remember about him are due to your affections. how you remember the exact pastries he likes. how if they stop selling at his favorite bakeries, you somehow find them somewhere else. how you always supply him with a warm cup of coffee from his cafe when he's feeling down. how on his most tired of days you supply his eyes with a nice compress from a soaked towelette. kento wonders if it is wrong for him to think it is nice to be taken care of like this even if he doesn't return your feelings.

not as normal as they expected themselves to be

YUUTA all yuuta wants is for you to be comfortable. maybe you were lying when you said you were fine. maybe you were just trying to be conscious of his feelings when you said he could act as he normally does with you. all these thoughts swirl in his head and he feels guilty when his guilt was the last thing you wanted. you're the one who was rejected, why are you the one bending over backwards for his sake? would probably try avoiding you if you didn't flick his forehead and tell him he should stop overthinking everything. also, you're pretty sure that pretty maki girl likes him. you encourage him to shoot his shot while she's still single.

SATORU normal on the outside, contemplative on the inside. because of this, satoru interacts the most with the fact you're in love with him. he asks the why, when, where as to why you fell in love with him, when you realized it, where did this all start. he doesn't ask to be cruel, satoru just genuinely wants to know. is relieved at the end of the day his lack of feeling the same way changes your friendship. he enjoys having you in his life as a friend. it catches him off guard one day when spur of the moment jealousy takes root in him when he sees you laughing your head off with someone he doesn't know. because you aren't just laughing. you're clutching your stomach, hunched over wheezing at whatever that goon just said. his eyes says you and rando are just friends. the rest of him says otherwise. "i'm the one you're in love with, right?" slips out of his mouth before he can help himself.

Klub Outside QnA (701-800).

Important Questions/- (Updates Weekly)

Q701.

2024.11.18

When Hitsugaya and Aizen faced each other in the Seijōtōkyorin (Immaculate Tower Grove - Central 46), Aizen defeated Hitsugaya, but instead of attacking Unohana and Isane, he moved to the Sōkyoku Hill. Was this because Aizen had no chance of winning against Unohana?

A701

I don't think he felt that he couldn’t win, but he was certain that he will be exhausted.

Q704.

2024.11.25

It’s known that Uryu has been living alone due to the conflict with Ryūken, but do they spend important days together, such as Uryu’s birthday and Kanae’s death anniversary? Also, after the Thousand-Year Blood War arc I don’t care if they still curse at each other, but I want them to at least share a meal from time to time.

A704

The place where Uryu is seen working at in the final chapter, is the Karakura General Hospital.

Q705.

2024.12.02

I’m a fan of the unfortunate stud that is Shūhei Hisagi. I want to know more about any unfortunate events or sad aspects of his that haven’t been shown/mentioned in any material so far. What do his subalterns think of him? Do they admire him?

A705

Regardless of whether they admire him or not, there’s no subaltern that dislikes him.

Q706.

2024.12.02

Was Genryūsai Yamamoto never invited to join the Zero Squad? Isn't just founding the Gotei 13 not considered to have "created something"?

A706

The establishment of the Gotei 13 by him is not regarded as an “invention” or “creation of something new” in the sense required to be evaluated as a major achievement for the Soul Society.

It’s not to say that there hadn’t been any “organized military forces” before Gotei 13, so its establishment was not a unique or unprecedented innovation.

Q709.

2024.12.09

Did Shino and Ryunosuke had more moments planned during the draft stage? In particular, Ryunosuke has color illustrations and even a shot on the front cover where he appears to be standing back to back with Ichigo, so when I was reading Jump at that time, I felt there was a possibility of him taking on the role of the “next generation”.

A709

In the beginning of the TYBW arc, I wanted to portray Ichigo as the “previous generation”, so I drew Ryunosuke in a way to symbolize the “next generation”. However, in terms of content, Ryunosuke is not the type of character that could inherit anything from Ichigo, so he wasn’t in the position to represent the “next generation”.

Q710.

2024.12.09

Does Urahara’s Shop make good sales? Does the store survive more due to its trade relationship with Seireitei rather than as a candy shop?

A710

In the past they barely survived on local business, but lately they’ve secured a trade deal with Seireitei so now they’re swimming in money.

Q711.

2024.12.16

Please tell us what Askin had in his sandwich that he was eating while he watched the battle between Kenpachi and Gremmy from a distance.

A711

Ham, cucumber and mustard.

Q713.

2024.12.16

The release command of Tsuchinamazu is “Good morning!” while the release commands for all other Zanpakutō’s are in the imperative form (order phrases). Is this because Kurumadani is still in the conversational and synchronization stage with his zanpakutō?

A713

Kurumadani is a rare case of Shinigami who couldn’t subjugate his Zanpakutō and instead inquisitively uses it as if they are friends.

Q715.

2024.12.23

Quilge didn't seem to have much interaction with the other members of the Sternritter but I wonder if there was anyone he was close to. I'm curious about his relationships and whether he was admired.

A715

Quilge was strict with his students but great when it comes to taking care of them. So, even though he was eccentric and difficult to deal with, he is regarded as someone with great skill and reliability. Most of his students would at-least address him as “san (Mr.)”.

Q716.

2024.12.23

I’ve loved both the past and present Squad 5, so I’d like to ask a question! Since Hinamori is said to be a Kidō master and Aizen is capable of using high-level Kidō in the 90s without incantation (I guess he was hiding his true strength, considering how surprised everyone was at his chantless casting). So, was the 5th Squad originally established as a squad specialized in Kidō?

Also, is Hirako good at Kidō? He was able to spot Aizen through his disguise so, I assume he’s good at sensing reiatsu, therefore maybe he’s also good at Kidō? He also asked Hinamori for treatment so maybe he’s not actually good at it? I feel like I’m in a loop so, please let me know!

A716

There’s nothing decided on in particular but within Squad 5 there’s the “Kidō Recovery Room”, a facility tasked with the recovery of a certain type of Spiritual Power that is consumed when using Kidō, so it’s rather common for people who are good at Kidō to enter.

Hirako himself is also good at Kidō. But Kaidō requires a special kind of talent, even among Kidō users, which Hirako himself lacks.

Q718.

2024.12.30

I’d like to know about the library system in Seireitei. Does Seireitei use the Nippon Decimal Classification (NDC)? Or does it have its own unique classification system, such as creating special classification for Shinigami skills like Zanpakutō or Hakuda?

Also, are books published in the World of the Living and those issued in Seireitei separated in the library, such as by label colours or similar methods? On that note, do libraries or bookstores in Seireitei even carry books from the World of the Living in the first place? I’m very curious about this!

A718

The classification system is unique, as it is neither the Nippon Decimal Classification nor the Dewey Decimal Classification, but the classification method itself does not have a name.

Books published in the World of Living are kept in an annex, and even those found in smaller libraries are stored within separate rooms. Previously, books had to be bought from dedicated bookstores and were expensive, but nowadays, thanks to Kisuke, the distribution volume has increased, making them cheaper and it is becoming possible to read them digitally.

Q719.

2024.12.30

I have a question about the past Squad 9. What was the reason Captain Kensei Muguruma appointed Mashiro Kuna as his Vice-Captain? Considering Kensei’s personality, I can’t help but wonder what qualities of Mashiro he acknowledged that made him choose her as his Vice-Captain.

A719

Talent. Mashiro is an individual who lives on talent alone.

Q720.

2025.01.06

How do male Shinigami (TBTP Shinji, Ukitake etc.) with long smooth hair maintain it? Also, what do they wash their hair with? Also, what do they wash their hair with?

A720

Hirako and Ukitake have naturally smooth hair.

Q723.

2025.01.13

During the serialization days, what did you used to call Old Man Zangetsu and Ichigo’s inner Hollow?

A723

“Zangetsu” and “White Ichigo” respectively. I remember right after White Ichigo was introduced, I’d receive fan letters calling him “Shirosaki”, which makes sense.

Q725.

2025.01.13

I like Ichigo's complete Hollowfication, but is it possible for the Visored’s to achieve complete Hollowfication as well?

A725

I’ve never thought about it, but it would be nice to see something like that in a game or something.

Q727.

2025.01.20

Ichigo has become a translator ten years later, but did he ever study abroad in order to develop his foreign language skills?

A727

Yes, he studied abroad in the UK.

Q729.

2025.01.27

The food that Sōsuke Aizen hates is boiled eggs, but between hard-boiled and soft-boiled eggs, which does he hate more? Or he just couldn't tolerate hard-boiled eggs?

A729

He hates the texture of hard-boiled eggs.

Q733.

2025.02.03

Did Masaki and Kanae go to the Soul Society? Also, where do Quincies go when they die?

A733

Deceased Quincies go to a different place than Soul Society.

Q734.

2025.02.03

Aizen, who evolved like a butterfly or a skeleton through the Hōgyoku, stated that he had "transcended both Hollows and Shinigami" and referred to himself as a "transcendent." He also mentioned to Ichigo that "At one point, you destroyed the boundary between Shinigami and Hollows and became a transcendent". Does this mean that the form Aizen took after his transformation through the Hōgyoku could be considered a form of Hollowfication.

A734

Since the term “transcendent being” refers to those who have surpassed the boundaries of the souls (tamashi). Therefore, both Ichigo and Aizen are “transcendence beings” but in different forms.

Q736.

2025.02.10

The "Espada" group underwent several fundamental changes during the events of the story, but were the Espada numbers 1, 4, 8, and 9 really never replaced?

A736

The first generation of the "Espada" consisted of only 7 members. As for the "Espada" who bear the names of the 7 deadly sins, they are the ones who were never replaced.

Q737. 2025.02.10

The Shinigami’s have reiatsu vents on both wrists and if they are blocked, they will be burned from the inside by their own reiatsu. However, if a Shinigami loses both arms instead of being sealed like Urahara-san did, will they still be at risk of being burned up? Additionally, if they were to become one-armed, like Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, what kind of negative effects related to reiryoku would occur? A737

If an arm is lost, the cut-off place becomes the new vent for the reiatsu exit, but in return, controlling reiatsu becomes extremely difficult. For this reason, Yhwach criticized Yamamoto for not healing his arm.

Q739. 2025.02.17

I am very happy to see Quilge finally move and talk in the anime! I rewatch it every day and enjoy it! Now, I have a question about Quilge.

Yhwach mentioned that Quilge's ability "J" can only be broken by a Quincy. On the other hand, does this mean that his prison does not have a full effect on other Quincies? Also, does the restriction imposed on this ability "J" stems from Quilgie's own personality "about the superiority of the Quincy race"? or from his ideology?

A739

Both are true.

Q740. 2025.02.17

During the battle against Yhwach, Aizen sustained significant injuries to his body. I wonder if he received any treatment before being imprisoned again? I'm really worried about his condition.

A740

Aizen's wounds heal automatically.

Q742.

2025.02.24

Could Nell's Cero Doble absorb long-range non-Cero techniques, like Getsuga Tenshō or Kidō?

A742

Yes, it can.

Q743.

2025.02.24

What is the age range of the members of the Visored? (Not in terms of appearance, but their actual age.)

I believe they are all at least over 200 years old, but if there are any official settings, I would appreciate it if you could share them.

Also, it would be great if you could let me know who the youngest and the oldest members of the Visored are.

A743

I haven't accurately determined their ages yet, but the oldest is Rose, and the youngest is Hiyori.

Q744.

2025.02.24

Chizuru doesn’t seem to have given up on Orihime, but is she also aiming for Orihime’s stepsisters, Yuzu and Karin?

A744

She thinks, "Even though they both are Ichigo's sisters, they are really cute, aren't they?”

Q746.

2025.03.03

Even from a considerable distance, reiatsu can convey a Shinigami's movements and sometimes even their emotions to other Shinigami. However, do the Shinigami's ever find this uncomfortable? Are there any Shinigami who are concerned about this and constantly suppress their reiatsu or use tools to hide it?

A746

Since it's rare for a Shinigami to be able to sense movements or even read emotions from afar, most Shinigami likely have never been concerned about it.

Q747.

2025.03.03

I really like Starrk's battles, and they make me feel heartbroken but what was the intention behind making Starrk fight against Kyōraku and Ukitake? I feel that it was quite cruel to make Starrk, who is afraid of loneliness, face the close relationship between Kyōraku and Ukitake.

A747

That is one of the intentions.

Q748.

2025.03.10

I can't help but admire the level of care you put into crafting Kidō incantations—each one truly sounds amazing.

Do you create them yourself? And which Kidō spell is your favorite?

A748

They are all my own creations. I usually prefer the newer spells, so at the moment, my favorite is “Supernal Jail” from Burn the Witch.

Q751.

2025.03.17

Is there a reason why all members of the Ishida family (Uryū, Ryūken, Sōken) wear glasses?

A751

Isn't it genetics...?

Q752.

2025.03.17

Can the residents of Reverse London travel to and from Front London?

A752

They can travel back and forth by following a procedure, using a special tool, or using magic.

Q753.

2025.03.17

Is Mugetsu the unique ultimate technique possessed by Zangetsu and Engetsu? Or is it a technique that all Shinigami can perform by exchanging their Shinigami powers? If that's the case, since Ichigo is incredibly strong, mastering Mugetsu made it the ultimate technique that overwhelmed Aizen, right? I'm really curious!! Please enlighten me, sensei!!

A753

Mugetsu is a technique that only Zangetsu and Engetsu possess.

Q754.

2025.03.24

I absolutely adore Director Bangnyfe from BURN THE WITCH!!!

If there are any hidden details or backstories not mentioned in the main story, would you mind sharing them with us?

A754

Among the main characters currently appearing in BURN THE WITCH, the most academically skilled is Bruno.

Q755.

2025.03.24

Does Kubo-sensei have any "forbidden techniques" or "things he absolutely won't do" in his creative process?

A755

It’s not that I consider it an absolute taboo, but there’s one thing I’ve resolved never to do, and that is "using historical figures or real people as characters in my works”.

This is because I became a manga artist to create characters that don’t exist in reality, and for this same reason, I also decline all requests to draw portraits, even if they’re from my friends.

Q756.

2025.03.24

Are the promising candidates from the Spiritual Arts Academy selected through a draft system, or are their personal preferences prioritized? Additionally, are there any transfer fees or similar costs involved when changing squads?

A756

Students are allowed to express their preferences, but these are not given priority.

If a captain wishes to recruit someone, they can submit a request, and if there is competition from others, a discussion is held.

Although some of them possess talent, it never happens that captains compete over individuals upon graduation, as success depends on the person’s own effort, not just their talent. More importantly, the squads don't compete against each other as this is not a sport.

Q758.

2025.03.31

When traveling from the Seireitei to the human world via the Senkaimon, if departing from the same location (like Sōkyoku Hill) but heading to different destinations (such as Tokyo and Osaka) does the time taken vary?

A758

No, it’s the same. That’s why Ichigo passes through the Soul Society when he travels.

Q761.

2025.04.07

When Ichigo first visited the Soul King Palace, he picked up an Asauchi for the first time. Similarly, does this mean his Shihakushō also became the official version (as a Shinigami) for the first time during that visit?

A761

Yes, that’s correct.

Q762.

2025.04.07

Was it Kisuke or Yoruichi who suggested building a playground beneath Sōkyoku Hill? Though the idea of putting one under an execution site feels very unsettling...

A762

No doubt it's Kisuke. To be honest, he’s a frightening individual.

Q763.

2025.04.14

Kubo-sensei, who is your favorite manga or anime heroine!?

A763

No particular name comes to mind, so I guess there isn’t a specific character that I like most. I pretty much distinguish female characters in manga/anime by their breast size, so I like all the ones with big boobs.

Q764.

2025.04.14

Regarding the sexy color illustration of Rangiku, Rukia, Orihime, and Nel from Chapter 353 "The Ash" (featured as the color opening page in Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #20), there is another character whose leg is visible on the right side. Who was this character originally intended to be?

A764

I didn’t design it for anyone in particular. I just drew it suggestively, to create an illusion that there were others in the background with them.

But from the waistline, let’s see…perhaps it was Unohana or Isane.

Q765.

2025.04.14

Kubo-sensei, could you please tell us your favorite Onigiri filling and miso soup ingredient?

A765

For onigiri, it's sujiko (salted salmon roe). As for miso soup, I like scrambled egg and enoki mushrooms.

Q766.

2025.04.21

Is it that characters who don't have a favorite food (e.g., Kenpachi) haven't lived or been raised in a way that would allow them to develop a favorite food?

A766

It's because they answered "none" in the survey.

Q767.

2025.04.21

Are Shino Madarame and Yumichika close?

A767

They are friends.

Q770.

2025.04.28

Did Orihime inherit her cooking skills from her brother Sora? Or did she develop them by practicing on her own?

A770

It's from Sora.

Q771.

2025.04.28

It was mentioned that Kensei's specialty dish is "Whole Pumpkin Gratin", but does Hisagi, who's skilled at cooking, have a specialty dish of his own?

A771

Wait, Shuhei is good at cooking!?

Q772.

2025.05.05

It occurred to me that I’ve never seen Mashiro in a swimsuit. If she were to wear one, what style do you think would suit her? Personally, I think a one-shoulder design would look really good on her.

A772

I never thought of Mashiro in a swimsuit, but the one-shoulder look might actually suit her.

Q773.

2025.05.05

When Isshin fought White in the world of living, was his power suppressed by the Gentei Reīn?

A773

Yes, that is correct.

☾ batshit crazy ☽

☾ synopsis: kyungsoo is getting reeeal tired of your crazy schemes. ☾ featuring: do kyungsoo x gn!reader ☾ prompt: "are you- what the f*ck is that?" ☾ warnings: humor, reader is known for doing crazy things, reader and kyungsoo are married, no pronouns used, but written with a male reader in mind ☾ disclaimer: this is simply a work of fiction and does not represent kyungsoo as a person. ☾ triplejracha, 2024. please do not copy, translate, or upload to other platforms.

read hjenthusiast's version here!

kyungsoo dreads opening the text messages between you and himself. he knows it could only mean that you've done something dumb and need his help getting out of the situation.

kyungsoo reads the message you sent him and he doesn't even stop himself from rolling his eyes.

now, kyungsoo loves you. loving you comes easy to him, he's sure of that. but, of course, every single person has their flaws. yours just so happens to be picking up random animals off the side of the road (where they belong, no matter how injured they might be).

kyungsoo often wonders how he ended up marrying someone as sporadic as you. you often say he's the black cat in the relationship while you are the overly excited puppy. at first, he didn't understand your comparison but as he rereads your message, his eyes scanned the unnecessary abundance of exclamation marks and emojis that don't fit what you sent him.

i got you a present, kyungieeee!!! 🤠🤠🤫🤫😇

kyungsoo feels his heart beat quicker and a soft smile creeping onto his face. now, he might complain about you more than praise you, but at the end of the day, it's you who puts a smile on his face.

kyungsoo steps out of his car and takes a deep breath as he steps up to the front door of his home. he unlocks the door and is welcomed by the heavy scent of spearmint and cucumber. as the pungent scent of the spearmint hits his nostrils, the annoyance he felt on his drive home washes away.

"kyungie, are you home?" your voice calls out to him as he kicks off his shoes and sticks his feet in his houseshoes.

kyungsoo doesn't respond, he only follows your voice and finds you in the living room, lounging on the couch with some...thing swaddled in a baby blue blanket in your arms.

he doesn't even notice that you're holding something in your arms at first, he just starts talking.

"are you- what the fuck is that?"

you gasp dramatically, holding the thing closer to your chest. "kyungie, watch your language around the babies!"

kyungsoo is confused and he can feel a headache coming on. he rubs his temples and decides to approach this calmly. "y/n, you better explain yourself."

"come and look at them while i tell you how i got them!" you adjust your body to show kyungsoo what's in your arms after he plops down beside you.

kyungsoo's eyes go wide as he stares at two smaller pairs of beady black eyes look back at him. "i'm going to ask again. what the fuck are those?"

"they're baby fruit bats! which are also called-" you start saying, but your husband interrupts you.

"i don't want to know. where did you get them?" is kyungsoo's next question.

and you ramble on about how one of your close friends found some abandoned baby bats that need a place to stay and recover. you explain that your heart hurt seeing the poor things so sad and weak, that it was your duty to take care of them when their mother couldn't.

kyungsoo wonders how he married you (he allowed you to keep the baby bats until they were ready to be released).

for a fluffy bf sapnap one shot, what if you guys were on stream and reader and sap were arguing, and reader said something that was wrong and chat started calling her out but sapnap was like “what??? I’m the only who’s allowed to say she’s wrong” and then goes onto Wikipedia and changes the fact so that reader is right 😭

okay, so, I changed the request a bit to fit his personality. I hope you dont mind!! 😭😭

anyway, enjoy! or dont :) m.list

"Peach, tomatoes are vegetables. I don't give a fuck if it's technically a fruit, its a vegetable," he said, looking into your eyes longingly despite his joking tone.

"what do you mean 'technically'? it's a fruit! just like how a cucumber is a fruit, my love," you argued back, trying hard not to get lost in his eyes. it was difficult. but as they said, the gods give their toughest battles to their strongest warriors.

"baby... that's definitely a vegetable..." he said softly and with so much sincerity as to not hurt your feelings. then he pulled up a new tab on his monitor.

you scoffed, "yeah, look it up! cause you dont actually know, love."

he shook his head, leaning foreward as he typed in cucumbers into the search bar. he clicked on the Wikipedia page, absent-mindedly putting his hand on your thigh as it loaded. you couldn't help but smile when he started kneading your flesh.

"shit..." he muttered under his breath. you leaned forward and skimmed the page. a smile slowly grew onto your face.

"I told you!!" you said, raising your arms in victory. you grinned at him as he sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"no, fuck that. im changing it."

you let out a laugh as he scrambled to change the information on the page. he replaced the word 'fruit' with 'vegetable'.

when he was done, he sat up and looked at the screen proudly. you shook your head and read the chat. then, you read one that caught you off guard.

"someone said, 'she dumb asf for calling them fruits wtf?' you read out, laughing. "oh, so your viewers are stupid too?"

"wait, who said that?" he asked, looking at his chat more seriously than you thought he would. "no, fuck that."

he reached for his mouse, going to change the information on the page again. you looked at him strangely as he erased what he had written before. he replaced it with 'cucumbers dont exist. there's nothing on this page."

you looked at him like he was crazy before laughing.

"now, no ones right."

good noon. -nony

So, don't know if you remember that anon that read your fic without being in any fandom (GOT and Solo Leveling)

I'm, of course, a Sung Jinwoo kinnie, his simp, he's my babygirl and I love him, so of course I read it even if I don't like GOT (too much dead, and I always choose the ones fated to die, one season was enough to understand that I was better far away from them)

But I have to admit that half of the time I'm lost with Jinwoo.

Some dragons danced? LOL sounds important, too bad I don't know what it means

All the religious stuff? Who knows what it means, me no, for sure, I also don't care, brain empty just here for the laughs

What I'm saying, is that those people are unnecessary complicated

(That thing they say about Jinwoo doing something with the children and Kevan saying that he shouldn't do that with Tywin- the chapter of the tea party - yeah, Jinwoo and I are equally lost here. What did he do?)

Of course Jinwoo is lost, I'm lost half of the time, and I know what is happening so yeah

Jinwoo isn't just a himbo (he is, but that's not the problem here) that doesn't understand the situation, it's just we need a lot of knowledge to understand how they say hello

Poor Jinwoo, he just wants a meal and looks at the cute lord and ends up marrying and adopting three little psychotic kids (mission failed successfully ig)

Poor Jinwoo 😞

But hey, he gets to eat all the guilt free almonds. He still remembers when almonds were affordable and everywhere. Now though? Almonds are starting to be easy to buy again but it's still so expensive - but not as expensive as it was 10 years ago. Thank goodness for Westeros still growing all the fancy nuts.

(Hey, is there any fic that addresses like the impact of Kamish taking out most of the West Coast of the US?? Because like California produces 80% of the world's supply of almonds. As for pistachios, that's nearly half of the world’s supply and 99% of US production. California is the fourth-largest producer of wine in the world – ranked only behind Italy, France, and Spain. The state produces over 80% of all stone fruit produced in the US, including 70% of the country’s peaches, 95% of its plums, and over 99% of its nectarines.

California is the largest producer of vegetables in the US, accounting for more than 40% of the country’s vegetable acreage. The state has also consistently led the country in vegetable exports, accounting for 52% of the US total during the 2020-21 season. California farmers produce almost all of the US' artichokes, broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, celery, spinach, and carrots. Other vegetables grown include asparagus, bell peppers, sweet potatoes, squash, cucumbers, and snap peas. California’s unique climate also lends itself to year-round lettuce production; more than 70% of the lettuce grown in the United States comes from California.

Anyways, California being burned down and made inhabitable is insane and the ripple effects are everywhere. WHERE IS THAT FIC?!

I guess you can also say that this is spoilers for why I have Jinah buying all the shit and clothes. She REMEMBERS that money means nothing when all it takes is one gate to wipe out nearly an entire world's supple of almonds. Then it doesn't matter how much money you have; there was no almonds for anyone to eat.)

It's been a while since Jeb crushed Sai's world with his revelation. He's avoiding him since and now he fled to the bridge, to fulfill his duty. Rambling about it all with his soulmate Kiyoshi. Jeb: "It was a mistake to start something with him. I'll never be able to live up to his expectations. Should have stayed under that bag and in my garage."

Jeb: "I'll only ever bring him misery and heartache. He'll never be happy with me - and satisfied!" And then he cried again. Kiyoshi: "You know you're the best thing that ever happened to Sai. You got to work on it. No relationship is perfect." Jeb sobbed: "But he deserves it. Deserves better than me - because he is perfect!" Kiyoshi: "You know he's not. Putting him on a pedestal doesn't help either of you. And you know he doesn't like it. This just shoots the expectations in unreachable spheres, hm?"

In the meantime, after their pep talk in Moogie's Bar, not-so-perfect Sai went back to his and Jeb's quarters and locked himself up in the bathroom. To start playing. Because he's a gamer after all! It's now or never.

He picked the smallest of the toys from the latest subscription box and added lots of 'polish'. ... Huh - now that felt weird. Just how the inscription had told him:

'You may feel a little awkward at first but after a few steps you go from beginner to advanced intermediate.'

He just hopes this is true! And he's relieved he doesn't have to experience through this utter awkwardness together with Jeb ö.Ö'

He filled the tub with hot water to soak a bit - and to relax his muscle(s). And to adjust. It's slightly getting better. But still unwonted when he moves. He wiggled a bit to get somewhat accustomed to this. Maybe Jeb was right and they should just continue with all the stuff they usually do? Maybe woohooing just wasn't for them? Each couple is different and they don't necessarily need to do what Jack and Kiyoshi and Ji Ho and Vlad do...

Sai put on a face mask and placed some cucumber slices on his eyes. Eventually he was able to relax and get used to the feeling. It's not that bad actually. And he might have let out a tiny little moan.

And of course that was when Jeb returned to their quarters... and - of course - he heard it. Jeb: "Sai? Are you ok in there?"

Jeb is back already? Sai jumped in the tub, water splashed and electric sparks were tingling up and down his spine from the sudden movement. Sai yelled out in surprise: "Oh gods! Yes!"

Sai cleared his throat, and with a thinner voice he said: "I'm ok!" It was hard to regain his composition and keep himself from getting too excited - but he's determined to save up all these wild sensations for his first time with Jeb. Because, wow! - now he's a believer! Poor Jeb. He's not that dumb and he has a hunch what Sai was doing in there - without him. Because he isn't able to give him what he needs... An ice cold hand was grabbing his heart and squeezed it painfully. Maybe Sai was right and they should just go for it? But how to convince his 'wand'? He utterly refuses to stand up for anything that could hurt Sai...

'I thought love was more or less a giving thing The more I gave the less I got, oh yeah What's the use in trying? All you get is pain When I wanted sunshine I got rain

And then I saw her face Now I'm a believer And not a trace Of doubt in my mind I'm in love I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried'

We Had a Spa Day

Boondock Saints. Silly/for fun.

Words: 555

Named OC (because I can't write any other way) is dating both of the boys. Connor comes home with food. Not edited.

Connor entered the loft apartment juggling the two bags of food in one hand. Madison was at the counter cutting up a cucumber and Murphy was on the couch, a book in his lap.

Something was off.

It wasn't the fact Murphy was shirtless and reading, and it had nothing to do with Madison who was looking more pleased than normal, it was something else. Something he couldn't put his finger on. He cautiously shut the door taking turns eyeballing the both of them. Madison finished her task and brought the plate over to Murphy and he looked up from his book long enough to gingerly take a slice.

That's when Connor picked it out. “Are your nails green?”

Murphy went pale, eyes opening wide as he answered around a mouthful of food with a sheepish, “No.”

“They are! They're green!”

“Nu-uh!” Murphy sat up. “They're mint.”

“Sage Mint Green.” Madison corrected. She shooed Murphy's legs off the couch and took a seat happily munching away. “We had a spa day!”

Connor gaped at his brother. “What did she do to you?” He turned to her. “What did you do to him?!”

“We started with masks and cucumbers on the eyes. I did his nails and helped with mine.” She held up her nails for inspection. “See? We match!”

“She turnin’ you into one of those fancy metro-sexuals? Because I'm telling you now woman! You will not have a go at me!”

Murphy shrugged, uncharacteristically unbothered by his brother's jabs. “Turns out hand massages aren't that… bad.”

“The fuck did you do to him?!” Connor gestured at Murphy reaching for another cucumber slice. “I mean look at hi– Did you do his eyebrows too?!”

Madison beamed. “If it makes you feel better he screamed the whole time.”

“Did not!” He flopped back on the couch rearranging the book in his lap.

“Miss Donnah across the hall nearly phoned for the police.” Madison cleared her throat doing her best accent which was awful at best even without the deepened mocking voice. “‘Aye! Love! Stop it! You're a sadist! If you have any love for me you'll- aaaaah!’”

Shaking his head Connor faked utter disgust. “I don't know who you are anymore.”

“Night's not over yet. He's coming back to my house for a slumber party.”

“A slumber party?” Connor snorted. “Going to braid each other's hair next? Tell secrets about all the cute boys you like?”

This is when Murphy held up the book he was reading. Emblazoned on the front in Papyrus lettering were the words ‘Kama Sutra.’ He didn't even bother to hide his smile. “Three positions.”

Connor's mind went blank. “She bribed you?” He looked to Madison holding up four fingers at his brother. “So when's my spa day?”

“It's not spending quality time together if I have to bribe you.” Madison smiled sweetly. Murphy held up the book to her. “Yeah, that's fine.”

“It says you need to stretch first.” He frowned at the book.

Madison took the book from him and turned it sideways. “It's fine, I'll help you.”

Murphy's carefully shaped eyebrows shot up nearly to his hairline, his mouth tapering to a silent ‘Oh’ shape. “I don't think I'm meant to bend that way…”

“I reiterate, when is my spa day?”

Madison deepened her voice again, “‘Because I'm telling you now woman! You will not have a go at me!’”

It would be funny if the system did allow reader to become Shang Qinghua disciple and make him a father figure to them as a little treat for being the author.

Shang Qinghua would be a father who will spoil reader. Bonus points reader knows some memes because Shang Qinghua taught them.

Reader probably doesn’t take him seriously at times but is protective of him.

Reader: He may be an idiot but he’s my idiot.

Shen Yuan is probably smacking his fan at Shang Qinghua for this (or perhaps he’s jealous because reader won’t be his disciple like he expected)

shang qinghua is my lil meow meow<33 deserves to be called daddy tbh he is the author after all /hj /affectionate

creator's favourite<3

reader: wow hehe silly guy who thinks he's my dad... I love it in shifus.

♡ unhealthy behaviour, pet names, mention of violence, adoptive family themes, parent/child dynamic (and some pinning from shen yuan but you can treat it as you want); drabble + headcanons

But more seriously, SHANG QINGHUA actually looks like someone who will be a good father to his cute little darling sweetest summer baby boo that he sometimes just wants to put in a box and shake or put in the palm of his hand and watch with wet eyes, trembling.

He was doing research... And it's normal for men to get carried away with cute things... And gosh — who can say that you are his favorite character and no one can be your fan even more than he is?

(one may try to compete, but he prefers to ignore the existence of Cucumber Bro, although he admits that in some things he has a taste, especially with this cute art, similar to how he represented you, as his pfp.)

(he also puts your art on his pfp, because no one else can be your big fan.)

It's not that you are described in any way at all or look especially against the background of other characters — apart from the fact that he may be too self-indulgent when he describes you as candy for eyes whenever you appear, as if you are a character from a much better story, but what can he do??? — and your backstory may look like one of those that he created for a long time and thoughtfully, as if connecting the pieces of a puzzle, putting his mind, heart and hours into you that he could have spent sleeping instead, but!

He doesn't regret it.

Even in the morning, when he slept for only two or three hours, he does not regret that for just a few hours he said to himself, "it's okay, it's okay, just a couple more words and that's it..."

Every author should have two favorite characters in the story — one whom he wants to associate with himself (or next to whom he wants to associate) and one whom he wants to wrap in a blanket, put on his chest, kiss on the forehead and saying that they are gorgeous and beautiful. After all, for the audience, he has a beautiful cold cultivator and a fateful passionate demoness, so he can have his beautiful cold demon and his charming bright cultivator, right?

Perhaps you are not part of Binghe's harem (not his cutie!!! too precious!!! his baby can't be part of something like that!!!) and such a detailed study, which is hidden behind your description, does not make much sense, but it makes him happy, especially when he can introduce you to the narrative, briefly describe or invent what you can say. His cute little meow meow, who is Luo Binghe's senior fellow disciple under Shen Qingqiu's care (no you don't need that character development where you experience bullying!!! he has the right to be delusional in his works!!!), and tries to do something to the best of your ability, even if there is little you can really help...

... You die in a battle against demons. Although in his drafts a plan of how you actually survived, it was also not very pleasant for him to write this scene, even if it was pleasant to describe an emotionally strong reaction, — and subsequent plans for revenge and murder also had some therapeutic effect, — but no, brother Cucumber, he does not feel any pleasant feelings at all from having killed his pet! And he is not at all happy that he killed the only worthy character!!

And your death was not at all predictable because of how pure and catchy you were!!!

"... Maybe a little delusional after all," SHANG QINGHUA thinks when looks at you. Small, with a straight back and an indefinite peak, although he knows that you will become a member of another peak, and this realization for the first time causes him damage to such an extent that he wants to cough up blood. He just wants to get on knees, hug you and shake, but instead can only watch — and when the System says that he can get you as his disciple, since he has already become the head of the peak?

Yes, your participation in the plot is important, but not to this exte–

Not a word more — he doesn't hesitate for a second!

SHANG QINGHUA treats you like a mother hen with an egg, wanting to just constantly take you in arms and kiss cheeks like a proud father, and for sure he has... moments where you allow yourself some tenderness because of which he falls to the ground, covering face, as if you killed him with charm, while you look down on him — at first frowning and worried, then you just pull him up yourself.

At some point, you even begin to like it; one day you even allow yourself to call him 'father' — but when he almost has a deviation of qi from what you call him, you never do it again, even if now he definitely desperately wants to hear it again. But — no way; how will you explain to the head of Qian Cao Peak why your father shifu looks like this? It would be extremely embarrassing, especially if you still had to drag him.

No.

Never.

(you still unwittingly unconsciously call him that several times, though — and each time SHANG QINGHUA understands that if he dies right now, he will die happy.)

Your backstory is definitely the story of an orphan or an abandoned child, even if it has some noble origin, and it's hard to deny that being immediately in the adoring and pampering presence of the head of An Ding Peak, who deals with all economic affairs and supplies in the sect, being literally the peak of logistics, is a little overwhelming... at first. Someone may view An Ding Peak as useless or meaningless, but when all the supply, procurement, economic transactions are circulating around one peak, and this is not something secret...

... can't your loveable father afford to pamper his beloved child?

You were such a sweet and smart disciple who always follows him (at his request, but you could also theoretically disobey him, so he should reward you anyway!), how can SHANG QINGHUA not try to make you smile and be spoiled?

He knows how bad life was for you, he described it all himself, so he only makes amends to you, even if you definitely do not know because of whom in some sense you had such a past, but only look at him as a parental figure who is always ready to help, protect and pamper you. SHANG QINGHUA always brings your favorite food (which you share! wow! this is definitely fate!), gives you the best, sometimes even unparalleled, clothes or things of the best quality — and never neglects you, as if your very presence activates in him all this incomprehensible desire to protect and adore you.

Does he spoil you too much?... Yes — but you forget one fact: he is also the proud father of one little sweet celestial whom he wrote especially for himself and now can shamelessly love them! Period!

Perhaps the only thing SHANG QINGHUA violently opposes is your fights with anyone, even if you are a head disciple and a member of a sect that, in addition to the economy, is often forced to deal with the dirtier and borderline gray or obviously black things common in the world of cultivators, — but SHANG QINGHUA knows that the sect will be destroyed much earlier what will you become the head... so what's stopping the two of you from just living your life together? Somewhere in a house near the city or in a small but rich city, where you can spend your life in a carefree and moderate pace until old age next to him, needing nothing and never shedding tears... a small pond for you or a garden where you can grow whatever you want, or a place where you will raise small or not-so-small animals...

SHANG QINGHUA is not the most active or aggressive person, he does not seek to expand influence at all, as the original owner of the body did, but when he gently combs your hair, looking at your straight back, he understands that this is impossible if he wants you to survive. Yes, he described that you 'didn't die' and even put forward several ideas about what happened to you after, but now, looking at you, none of them suits him. Why should you suffer? Isn't what was in the original novel enough for you? Don't you deserve to live in comfort and safety?

He is your father — not in the biological sense, but in a much more important way, in both of his lives, and it is natural that your future falls on his shoulders, since he has made the past for you and takes care of you in the present. He would prefer a calm, trouble-free life with the flow, but when SHANG QINGHUA looks at you rejoicing at his gifts as if for the first time or trying to take part of his responsibilities and difficulties to help, how can he think only of himself?

Maybe that's why he's here — to make you happy and make sure you'll never be sad again. After all, SHANG QINGHUA gave you his soul, so it's natural that he could even overcome reality itself and time to be there — and if you think about it like that, then everything falls into place!

His ability to take you as his disciple and almost-child, his need to pamper you, his adoration...

“Shifu?...”

He loves you so much that his heart bursting.

“Shifu, why are you lying down again???”

Papa will protect you.

Shen Yuan really tries not to get angry, but when he sees SHANG QINGHUA shamelessly purring and spoiling you, clearly mocking him about the fact that you love him as your 'dad' shifu, the desire to hit becomes much stronger.

It's not fair, okay? After all, you were originally supposed to be his disciple; that's why he called you, wanting to see his beloved spousefu character — only to find out that you are not his disciple. Perhaps it was then that he realized that something was wrong — just as SHANG QINGHUA understood it, who later heard at a secret meeting that Shen Qingqiu, who woke up after a fever, asked about you for some reason, thinking that you were his disciple, and was amazed when he was confirmed several times that no, this is not so, you are a disciple of another peak.

A disciple of another peak? No, it's– no, it's possible, but unlikely. Since Luo Binghe is already studying at the peak, then at about this age he should already have had a connection with you, right? It's strange if the semblance of 'white moonlight' for the protagonist still did not exist at the peak, although your first meetings probably should have already happened. Isn't that about when that meeting should take place where you save him from mockery by appearing in time as a 'famous young phoenix under the guidance of Shen Qingqiu' and saying your cool speech?

Isn't that when you first demonstrate yourself as a domineering and self-aware beauty, but also able to be modest? Where your 'presence alone is enough for everyone to immediately disperse, let alone look or words'? Where were you still an unblemished white lotus that made Luo Binghe take an example from you, whose gait was 'as silent and graceful as leaves dancing in tandem with a wandering wind in a silent bamboo forest' and 'voice similar at the same time to the purring of a well-fed tiger inspecting their mountain in search of the next prey to playfully tear it apart' and 'like the first gentle snow showering everything around like a blanket, covering and forcing all living things to be silent and heed the serenity and greatness'?

These were some of his favorite scenes, excerpts from which he regularly reread and kept screenshots in the "favorite" in the phone gallery!

Where?!

"Someone remembers," SHANG QINGHUA thinks, rubbing his nose after sneezing — and smiles affectionately when you carefully throw a cape over him before returning to his business next to him, deliberately ignoring shifu's loving gaze. You really are a hardworking little thing, aren't you? Of course, what his child should be like; although not at all like your daddy, but you still take great care of him, even if you don't give him some expensive gifts and don't try to physically serve, unlike him. But he likes it — to take care of you, pamper you, try to accustom you to his culture and jokes, teach you some things that later become 'internal' and are not familiar to anyone else.

... Almost no one else is familiar with them.

“You yourself know they were supposed to be my disciple.”

“... The author has the right to make changes to the work.”

Shen Jiu– No, Cucumber Bro looks up at him because of the slight difference in height, and there is such obvious discontent and irritation in his eyes that SHANG QINGHUA is sure: if it were real, acid would dissolve him right now so that the earth would open up and swallow what would remain of his body.

“Don't you think that such an intervention will have consequences?”

What are the consequences? That you can't pamper them now and take advantage of their care like I do?

“Are you jealous that they call me 'baba' and not you?”

Shen Yuan still hits him with a fan from the heart, but does not answer anything — and SHANG QINGHUA does not dare to continue teasing or pressing button, even seeing how annoyed he is, not wanting to admit that yes, damn it, he is angry that his favorite character, the thought of which caused and causes euphoria, got not him, but SHANG QINGHUA.

“Stfu.”

You don't really call him ''baba' — but if you did, his heart would immediately stop and there would be a serious deviation of qi.

... Hmm...

He definitely found something with which he will pester you now — and the way Shen Qingqiu looks with jealous irritation, clutching a fan in his hand, only adds to the situation of fire.

Even if you don't have the slightest understanding of what's going on.

Executive Cucumber's Thoughts on the Bad Batch 03x09!

Spoilers under the cut

Apologies for this being late, I worked overtime and then immediately went to rescue my sister and her kids from a car breakdown. I got overwhelmed pretty quick.

I really liked this episode, but as I was in a not great mood when I watched it, I didn't absorb as much as I normally do. (My mood really affects how much I enjoy something, regardless of quality. I was in a foul mood when I first watched Faster and was fairly critical of it. I was wrong.)

This is really the first time we've seen not beautiful weather on Pabu and that's terrifying.

CROSSHAIR IS PART OF A COMMUNITY!!! Have yall considered that he's never been a part of a community before? Like yes, he's has his family, but a community?

'Does it matter? We're not giving her up.' This man. I love this man. If Tech did not already reign Supreme in my heart, I think Crosshair would be my favorite character in Star Wars.

ASAJJ VENTRESS MY QUEEEEEEEEEN

Oh Omega, that story fell apart faster than Hunter's resistance to adopting you.

They leave a space for Tech 💔

Apparently those blood tester things that Qui Gon had were Jedi issue only.

YOU CAN DO IT OMEGA!!! Wrecker, honey, if Omega CAN do it, that means her life gets WAY harder.

They one hundred percent sent Crosshair to look at Tech's data because Hunter and Wrecker can barely do it.

'Go get a flower kid, I gotta beat up your dads'

Okay, I honestly think Hunter doesn't have the time for romance and could honestly see him as asexual, but-

HIS WAIST IS SO SLUTTY. HOW IS IT SO SLUTTY.

I don't think we've seen such well choreographed hand to hand fighting in animated Star Wars. Except maybe that time that Rex absolutely destroyed those Zygerrians. But I might be biased about that.

'SHE'S A WAR CRIMINAL OMEGA' Okay now I need to know what defines war crimes in this universe. Did they have space Geneva?

You know, good thing Echo's not here. He'd probably be WAY more pissed than these three.

'You're naive' says the man who was changed by the child saying people can change.

I love Crosshair's 'oh shoot she's right' face.

Wrecker's little gasp when Ventress looks at them is AMAZING.

I love it when Star Wars is using the Force to connect with animals.

I'm sorry, Hunter girlies, I guess we getting wet hair everyone except Hunter. (Though Ventress looks SO GOOD)

VENTRESS YOU QUEEN I LOVE YOU YOU'VE COME SO FAR (I haven't read dark disciple but my sister has, and she informed me that Vos' Dark Side training by Ventress culminated in him summoning a water monster and killing it. This is such a beautiful parallel that she calms it.)

Crosshair helping Omega on is my everything.

I really love that Crosshair has decided to give Ventress a chance, because he was given a chance. (And also I lowkey ship them in a one night stand kinda way. Crossajj is such a good ship name too)

DAD DUO.

I don't think Ventress is lying when she says Omega isn't Force sensitive. Omega doesn't show ANYTHING in this episode that implies that she's sensitive. Yes, she uses Batcher, but she'd trained Batcher with normal friend methods. I think that Ventress stops the testing prematurely before she can be more sure, because she sees the possibly unhealthy attachment the Batch have. It might also be to protect Omega to not know for sure. My personal theory is that Omega is slightly more sensitive than the average clone, but not to any natural talent degree.

Oh gosh, I'm so scared for the next few episodes. Ventress gives them such a clear warning. This episode did such a good job of getting the tension tight again.

I know some people call this episode redundant, but the characters NEED this in order to catch up. We as an audience knew that M Counts meant midichlorians. But the Batch had no idea. Sometimes, we need to let the main characters catch up with us.

(This is also why Tech as CX-2 works on a reveal level because the mystery isn't for us, it's for the characters)

But yeah, a great episode! I'm terrified for everything and everyone!

A quick note- I've seen people say that it's too late in the season for Tech to return. I'd like to remind you that it took exactly two episodes in season 2 to get us behind Crosshair's redemption. They can do a lot in a few episodes.
