[ganondoodle]

i did a mini rant about it on twitter, but i want, and need, to say this here as well

it is sickening to see all media everywhere parrot israeli propaganda and lies while actively ignoring what they are doing to palestine, but especially so seeing it all being done just as much in germany, it feels even more personal bc shouldnt WE be the ones MOST critical of anyone enacting genocide?? a lesson to take from our awful, shitty, horrific history isnt we cannot criticize jewish people ever at all but that genocide is BAD

its seems like they are afraid of being called antisemitic by some people who dont know shit about whats going on so much so that theyd rather support a full blown genocide of 2 MILLION people, and it just

it scares me

i feel like a stranger in my own home, im avoiding news on radio and TV bc it feels like they are trying to brainwash me to cheer for the oppressors; we were responsible for a 5+ million genocide and now the media and politicians want us to support one of 2 million more??? what the fuck???

"well there are some evil people in this country we have been colonizing for years, guess we are gonna have to wall the entire region off so noone can leave and kill every single human life there, sorry, we had no other choice, dont look at us openly bragging about pulverizing a hospital filled to the brim with people seeking shelter from our 6000 mega bombs we dropped within a few days on this region, then calling palestinians 'children of darkness' and us the 'children of light', delete those posts, then change who we want to blame it on every few minutes bc people are starting to see through our lies, but dont you see? the bad people could have been anywhere, we had to, that hospital wasnt the first and wont be the last tho, so sad uwu"

how insane do you have to be to hear that and go "ah yes, that is very logical and justified and totally not obvious lies, heres a billion of currency and a metric fuckton of weapons to kill them all more efficiently, have fun and good luck"

?????????

if you think supporting palestine and wanting isreal to stop bombing them means you automatically support hamas you have no fucking idea what you are talking about actually and you need to educate yourself right about now, urgently

if you think the acts of one terror organisation represent an entire country and thus everyone living in it deserves to die for it, what the fuck is wrong with you there definitely are some horrible fascist, violent cults in the US, there absolutely are some in germany as well, do they represent the entire population of either countries and thus every single thing alive within its borders needs to die horrificly???

why did i have to sit in school trying not to cry my eyes out looking at fotos of piles of tortured, dead people, visit whats left over from concentration camps with all its looming feeling of doom, not even being able to stomach going into the building itself bc it made me want to vomit just being there and learn about every sickening detail of our awful history when im now here seeing and hearing it all over again, but this time im supposed to cheer for the oppressors?

i am appalled of so many countries being so complicit in supporting yet another genocide, but i am especially ashamed of my own. again.

free palestine.

RECAP OF CELLBIT'S STREAM, 05/05

investigating quesadilla island!! the man has gone full detective and lore mode. here's a link of my recap of his previous stream if you want to catch up. only updating on the first 5 hours of stream, since after he switches to more casual building/chatting

cellbit's plan for the day is investigating the mystery within quesadilla island. he even got a special skin for this occasion

he started a diary to keep notes of what he finds within his investigations. i compiled what he wrote so far and translated it in this file

he also finished his office/investigation room!! its under his house

he left the favela with philza and he's asking phil some questions regarding how they got to the server and how his days in the server went by so far

philza is telling him about his experience exploring the structures he found in the sky and his encounter with the binary code entity, which fit exploded with a bomb

philza gave cellbit the coordinates he got from the entity (2530, 66, 1892)

he's now asking philza about the eggs

(this section of the stream is in english, in case anyone is interested. i will get the correct timestamps once vode is out, but roughly it should be around 30 mins in until the 1 hour mark)

he's now heading to the train station where everyone arrived to investigate

after not finding anything other than the puzzles (which weirded him out due to why such a thing would need to exist and why it feels like everyone is being tested), he moved to explore the ship where the brazilians arrived

he's revisiting the puzzle found in the ship with the letters/flags. it involves the international code of signals. the letters were KXUT, meaning the following:

    K - "i wish to communicate with you"

    X - "stop carrying out your intentions and watch for my signals"

    U - "you are running into danger"

    T - "keep clear of me"

cellbit believes it was like a warning for them to not approach the island

he went to meet up with maximus and foolish. he's telling them about when he got attacked by the binary code entity

they all went to his office and are now discussing the flag puzzle/codes

they're rewatching the tapes now

cellbit, foolish and maximus are heading to the coordinates phil gave cellbit earlier

the location is close to luzu's house, and foolish explained to cellbit what has been supposedly going on with luzu and an ai called erin (i have personally not been keeping up with this part of the qsmp, so im not entirely sure)

(once again, this section is in english if you want to watch for yourself. will get exact timestamps later, but roughly between tge 2 hour and 3 hour mark)

RICHARLYSON STEPPED ON A MINE MY GOD MY HEART I WAS SO SCARED HE WAS GONNA DIE. hes fine tho!!!

they're speculating the federation got luzu and thats why he hasnt been on the server. also that the building they found (picture above) is how luzu's mind stays alive and in the server somehow, since it looks like a machine

rip tree

theyre speculating the number "8" on the building might be counting the eggs that are currently alive

cellbit's main theory right now is that they're stuck in a simulation and are being tested

cellbit also mentioned he doesnt think the eggs are real or that theyre a way to manipulate them to stay in the island and not search for a way to leave. obviously, the others dont want to believe that

(guys i think cellbit is going a bit insane)

cellbit thinks they should find a way to break out of the simulation

cellbit is now speculated that when the eggs got kidnapped the federation placed something inside the eggs, thats why theyre cracked. bbh added that maybe they took a sample out of them to do experiments

theyre discussing ways to try and break out of the simulation/leave the island

A BOOK WITH BINARY CODE SHOWED UP ON HIS INVENTORY ???? the code translates to "LEAVE"

theyre going to try and see if they can leave the island by following the train rails. the eggs will stay with poor philza minecraft

AS SOON AS THEY LEFT, PHILZA AND THE EGGS GOT ATTACKED BY THE BINARY CODE ENTITY HOLY SHIT????????? thankfully, bbh placed a teleporter thing and they all managed to go back quickly. however, once they arrived the binary code entity was already gone

after that, they gave up on exploring the rails and all went their separate ways

bobby drowned while trying to escape the binary entity.

cellbit is really scared right now that richarlyson might be attacked again, he feels guilt somehow since he believes the entity is attacking because of what he has been doing/saying

cellbit was watching the clip of philza and the eggs being attacked. he realized it was initially cucorucho who turned into the binary entity

the binary code on the entity translates to "AI" ...... possibly linking back to the luzu situation they were discussing earlier

the next session of the stream is cellbit and richarlyson expanding the basement to include more stuff. cellbit also plans to make an interrogation room for people he thinks are suspicious (quackity)

theyre now going to visit roier and bobby. richarlyson made bobby a little gift :)

cellbit told roier that he thinks the attacks are his fault. cellbit told him it was probably a warning from the entity

cellbit also told him that cucorucho became one of the binary entities

maximus is building a transmission tower to send messages in all languages to the server. cellbit is absolutely losing it at his portuguese

they went back home to keep working on the basement

cellbit is teaching richarlyson how to play chess (this is an important update). richarlyson lost, but cellbit told him to just shoot the opponent when he loses

quackity logged on and cellbit mentioned he might interrogate quackity on sunday

as cellbit was ending his stream, cucorucho showed up on his basement

now, over 5 hours into the stream, cellbit will be changing into more casual minecraft gameplay to work on his base and overall taking a break soon. i will be closing the stream and ending this post. will update later if anything more happens!! once again, feel free to dm me/send asks if you have any questions, comments or requests for clips/timestamps/translations <3

[adhdnojutsu]

I’ve always thought about this, in the manga, it says it’s been 11 years since Orochimaru left the Akastuki, because of the failed attempt to take Itachi, Itachi made Orochimaru leave. This was discussed when the Akastuki met up, Itachi was allegedly “21” at this time.

But Itachi said to have become the anbu captain at 13, it was mentioned by Kakashi im pretty sure when Itachi and Kisame came to capture Naruto.

Therefor Itachi was around late 13 or early 14 when the massacre was committed, he left Konoha after to join the Akastuki as a spy.

So 13/14 + the 11 years that was confirmed Itachi was in the organization for, that’s 24/25 years.

Is Itachi actually 24/25 years old and not 21 as “official sources” claim?

That would make him around 19/20 when he first came to “capture Naruto” and die around 24/25

I feel changing the “11 years” would be much more complicated than changing Itachis age, Sasuke was 6/7 around the time the clan died, so fast forward, he’s 17 when Itachi is “21”…how did Sasuke age around 11 years and Itachi only 7?

Idk if you already thought of this but it’s just a curiosity I’ve always had, correct me if I’m wrong at all

Glad you asked! Piecing timelines together is a thing I need for closure LOL so I already did it for the brothers!

I don't remember where, but it was said (not by an official source) that the "10 years since Orochimaru left Akatsuki" statement was a continuity error and should be disregarded. Because I could be wrong, but I vaguely remember that this statement was (also) made in the anime when Itachi was only 17/18 (after the chunin exams) and it would make absolutely 0 sense.

As for the massacre, the anime and manga make him 13 at the time. His official age of promotion was only mentioned that one time by Kakashi.

I don't know if you consider the Itachi Shinden novels canon, but personally I like to do so because they don't contradict any manga events, other than where Itachi's hands were when Shisui died... and add a lot of logical context. If we go by the novels, Kakashi only said Itachi was 13 because Hiruzen and Danzo aged him up on paper so as to not stir the pot too much by promoting someone at an age where others barely finish the academy. Itachi was actually 12 at the time of the massacre. It wouldn't be "wrong" for any character to say he was 13 as everyone was fed (and thoughtlessly believed??) the same lies about that poor kid. In his first detailed flashback in part 1 of the anime (on his way to the inn), Sasuke remembers how he was the same age Itachi was when he graduated, after auntie Uruchi (the chubby lady) said he was 7. That was the day of the massacre. It would also make the most sense. Canonically and in the anime, Itachi is 5 years older than Sasuke, and 7 + 5 = 12. In Itachi's first anime appearance, Sasuke just had his 13th birthday and Itachi should just have turned 18 the month before. This would make sense, too, as Sasuke is 16 when Itachi dies at 21 (Itachi's birthday is in June, Sasuke's in July).

Itachi's physical development isn't portrayed proportionately to his age or even true-to-data, which adds to the confusion. From the very beginning, Sasuke's flashbacks of 11-12-year-old Itachi show him much bigger than the Rookie 9. And he gets MUCH bigger within just 1 year. 11: 148 cm. 12 (officially 13 thanks to Danzo: 175 cm. LOL did Fugaku put something in his food to make him bigger faster because he also suddenly looks much more masculine??

But then, you put ANY adult in the room with him, and he suddenly shrinks. Danzo is officially shorter at 170 cm, but always shown taller, while Itachi wears thicker soles (Danzo wears slippers mostly).

Danzo has to bend to make eye contact with the squirt:

This is more than 6 cm difference! (175 & 181)

This was around the time of the massacre judging by Sasuke's size. Ummm... Wasn't Itachi officially as tall as Fugaku (175) here...

And this is just before the massacre, after Itachi got tired of trying:

He was supposed to be 6 cm taller than Kurenai (169 cm vs 175 cm), but he's drawn shorter than her!

And to make it all extra sad, I looked up what Itachi would look like in an accurate live action adaptation of the massacre, because Kishimoto draws him looking way older so the "groomed and exploited child soldier" part is more palatable:

(found on Pinterest)

For comparison, 12-year-old Itachi in the anime (average for Japanese boys that age is 153 cm, by the way, not 175 which is above average for ADULTS):

Naruto was said to be depicted as smol and scrawny on purpose, but while anime styles usually make a character look younger than their real life counterpart, Naruto was probably closest to that?

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk!

I'm still not over the theatre video, what a great week for shaynse enjoyers. Hoping Chanse is on reddit stories since it's been a while so he can look dreamily at Shayne reading.

Also not sure how I feel that Chanse liked a tweet about how shaynse nation keeps winning yesterday?! HE KNOWS

Oh PLS I hope he is, I die for the way he looks at Shayne during reddit stories. And same I'm still thinking abt the theatre vid too, the implications and missing details r on my mind

OKAY SO I wasn't aware of this tweet so thank you so much for informing me, I actually don't have a twitter account (X I guess) so I made an account to go see it and I was like Oh yh I'll just keep this account now...but then I realised I just rlly didn't want to and I deactivated it within 5 mins of making it. Maybe one day.

ANYWAY I'LL BE THINKING ABT THIS NOW IM GOING INSANE HE RLLY DOES KNOW FOR SURE NOW, ONCE AGAIN THE IMPLICATIONS

The Spirealm episode 5 -7 reaction (Let's call this episode 4 now per the new 38 episodes version)

fair warning: in these episode reactions I'm not gonna pretend I haven't read the novel. in fact, I purposely finished the novel before viewing, to get The Full Experience. thus novel spoilers, including twist end, included.

[1] [2] [3-4]

DON'T LEAN ON THE BANISTER ASDFGHJK

Ruan Baijie saving his boyfriend's ass yet again, must be Tuesday.

Then first key!!!! I wanna see the key!!!!!!!!

The survivors: wow, ok, Baijie really loves u

"Are you leaving so soon and reluctant to leave me?" // "No, it's not that," he lies

The suspicious survivors just couldn't resist trying to steal the door note and now no one has the key but the monster NICE GOING 😒

ahh and then the reveal that ofc Ruan Baijie figured out the taboos long before. He saves those who are worthy (aka his new partner).

wow Ruan Baijie is pretty. gifs don't do him justice.

Death match vs the bad hair day from The Ring.

Ep6

The whole scene in the opening of ep 6 is terribly cute. Ruan Baijie exposed as a drama sprite who was faking his injury, but Lin Quishi just accepts this in good humor as he's told this was just to "bring us closer" and for fun. Another round of, you're really picking me? but why?

He really does the, 'come closer' move to make your crush get up close so you can create a sense of intimacy with hushed voices smh

"Because there is light in you."

oh, did you give me this expensive looking necklace because you want me to join your gang?

no, because you are you.

..... misses the very gay pass completely.

(tbh I feel as if the actor is playing it like his character IS sensing the romantic undertones sometimes but doesn't know how to respond/not ready to process it and so represses & pushes it out of his mind and to the side)

Ep 7

They solved the case. Ruan Baijie gives him back the key again, "Still yours." They exchange a romantic look before he steps over.

Our protagonist thinks he's back in reality and only 15 minutes have passed. But of course that's not true: whether he entered the game time A, B, C, or it's the 12th Door theory... he's still in-play.

A roommate?? This must be the Wei what's his face, his One Friend I recall from the novel. With the girlfriend.

Injuries from the door lingering "outside".

Chestnut won't let him hug! (The clue in the novel that this is still within the door. Now, is this a new phenom or was it already Like That in ep 1? 🤔 Remains ambiguous.)

Wait, in this drama the One Friend has heard of Spirealm?! And it's eviiiill reputation. Everyone who plays it "goes insane and commits suicide". Lin Quishi acts like he hasn't already been warned that players die from the game.

Ah, created by a chinese designer who wanted to make a "comprehensive spirit world". The story goes, after he made it he added all the violent elements to the version he sold, to make it a bloody survival game.

'Can't control when you enter the door, can't get rid of it, Men Can Conquer Heaven'.

Bro goes to sleep and startles awake cause Ruan Nanzhu fka Baijie is pulling an Edward Cullen by his bedside. The more intense looking Nanzhu asks him to come along. Naturally, our boy stumbles along and meets!!! Cheng Qianli!!!!!!! 😄😄😄😄 Who is driving, like the scene in the novel. IM SO HAPPY.

Headquarters!!!!! The group!#####!!!! I'm hyped to see them all live & in color.

Emphasized again that once you enter the game, you must complete all 12 doors to get rid of the mental control of the game. ~Mind control~

(because the censors won't allow it to be explicitly supernatural)

(which doesn't mean the writer didn't intend to get around this barrier by using subtext & inferences that novel readers would understand 🤔🤔)

The clue for his next door freaks out the whole house. But then he meets cranky Cheng Yixie!!!!

He's settling in but the moment he glimpses Nanzhu's returned BUT INJURED *gasp* Must scurry down for hurt/comfort UST.

Love how absolutely unnecessary this hand-holding is. Light piano background to set the romantic mood.

A gurgling stomach growl from Ruan Nanxhu & Lin Quishi takes the initiative to stand up and make himself at home to cook for the man who's obviously being positioned as his love interest. (Like in The Untamed & Word of Honor, we're not being terribly subtle here.)

This is the 3rd time we've seen an instinctive caretaking gesture from him towards Nanzhu and the last moment as we fade out is the "boss man" looking down at his newly bestowed bandage and obviously GOING THRU IT. He's making this sigh and curling his fingers and everything.

side note: Lin Quishi is getting flashes of himself trapped under rubble. This is the second time we see them. Are they flash backs? Of a past event he survived, giving him baggage to carry? OR are we circling back again to my alternate, alternate theory that an evil VR game is part of the illusion and this IS the supernatural Doors from the novel that terminal people can get a chance to enter, to prolong or possibly prevent your death? (if so, then Ruan Nanzhu is still indeed the 12th door god. and Lin Quishi must decide to remain in the fantasy or exit & return to reality?)

[dandyshucks]

i need to vent i'm sorry dear god things are so bad

me when the conservative candidate is voted in (which is not a surprise bc i live in a conservative area but still) and this guy has exhibited pedophilic behaviour in the past and is a proud gun/army fanatic. i'm gonna fucking die.

and the conservatives in my province this year have been the most aggressively and openly transphobic main political party we've ever seen nation-wide, and it is looking like theyre either going to win majority or them and the other party are both going to be minority gvmts together and both of those options are Bad bc conservatives are going to have so much power either way. unless somehow the other party manages to juuust pull ahead enough to make up majority but it... isn't looking that way. and that's just coveirng the transphobia, theres been so much racism and other shit going on too, i'm really really scared !! esp w the fe.deral election coming up next year !!!

i feel extraordinarily unsafe rn esp with some local politics from earlier this year w someone in a position of power in town (i have to be so vague otherwise its going to be way too easy to look shit up and place me on a map lol, im already pushing it as is) and it was horrifying and seeing so many ppl be apathetic to it is just. so scary. i'm scared !!

also i have to wait for another two days for the welfare ministry to call me (stressed all day long from 8-5 bc idk when theyre going to call me) and if they do not call me by the end of tuesday then i have to phone a couple ppl and ask what to do bc they're supposed to call me to do the eligibility interview within two weeks of submitting my application. and by this tuesday it'll have been two weeks. i'm so unbelievably stressed dsfjkl i've been nauseous so much lately bc of the anxiety. and i dont cry very often but god almighty i've been crying every couple of days these past two weeks bc i'm just so exhausted and stressed and at the end of my rope fdsjkl

also my mother is being really scary lately and i can't do anything about it except keep my head down and just hope she eventually stops this shit

anyways i am not doing well ! feeling like everything is sort of closing in on me :''''))) idk what to do about it bc nearly everything that's causing me overwhelming amounts of stress is out of my control so i just have to keep clinging to life with the tenacity of a cockroach. but i'm really tired of it 😭😭😭 and i just. would like to be safe? i guess? that's such a silly notion though fdsjkl i do not ever get to be safe so it is silly to want for that. i think mostly i just want things to go back to being tolerable fsjkl i am... reaching the crisis limits beyond my real limits, to be entirely honest.

[dumbass-tumbler-cryptid]

(sorry for any mistakes, I should have gone to sleep instead of reading but I couldn't resist)

I managed to find time to read a few fragments and I absolutely love the relationship between Mo'at and Spider - I was blown away by "His father was lurking somewhere, laying in wait to snatch him up, what was the grandma going to do? Hit him with her house slipper?" I imagined it lol. I also read the scene about summoning ghosts and my oh my it was brilliant (I wonder if Kiri managed to "talk" to Grace?) The fact that Quaritch revealed himself every time Spider had a bad foster home>>> I honestly have no idea what Im thinking about Quaritch, in this fanfic he makes me feel pity, sympathy and hatred at the same time. I skimmed the whole work but I didn't see Lyle's name so I assume his meeting with Spider is not described in this version? During the weekend I will read everything and try to write my best thoughts about it, I feel that there will be a lot of them. I really can't believe that it finally came out and I'm glad that it's so unexpected, otherwise I would probably die of impatience if I knew that it would come out let's say in two days. I can't wait for the sequel, in the meantime, can you give a snippet? <3

Oh my god thank you so much 😭. I really love hearing people’s thoughts so thank you for sharing them with me 💞

So I’m actually not done with the expanded version of cabin! I’ll probably post another 3-5 chapters of the expanded version. I think I can probably get the next chapter out within the next few days. Lyle will probably be in the chapter after that, where I’ll expanded on his time at the Cabin. I’ll also add in and flesh out that bonus scene with Z. But yeah, I fully intended on following the plot of the original Cabin just with a ton more detail. Then I’ll finish up the endings which I’m about halfway done with. I took a break from them to write everything I just posted. I really felt like I needed to flesh out Spider’s time with the Sully’s and his time in the Cabin for the endings to have the impact I want so here we are!

And of course you can have a snippet!

**********************************************************************************************

After lunch Miles did his math work, reveling in the warmth of the sunlight like a spoiled cat. He couldn’t have spent his entire school day outside like this in his old life. Miles had to chuckle to himself just thinking about it. It had taken time to get used to his new life, but under his father’s care he somehow had more freedom now then he did back then. He set his school schedule. He decided where he studied. He set the pace of his education. He wasn’t shipped around from foster home to foster home. He had choices. He had stability. He was loved.

Pa busied himself inspecting the perimeter of the cabin, searching for any hint of an issue to fix before it became a problem. He checked up on his son a few times, monitoring his progress until he was satisfied with Miles' work. “Let’s wrap that up. I think it’s time you got some exercise.”

“Can that exercise be skateboarding,” Miles asked with a big grin and pleading eyes.

Pa huffed a small laugh, “Do ten laps around the house, fifty push-ups, fifty burpees, a hundred squates, and a hundred crunches then sure. You can do whatever you want.” Miles took off, completing his exercises with speed, skill and strength, his father standing by, counting out each rep, beaming with pride as his son effortlessly finished the tasks. Pa looked at his watch, a big smile on his face, “That’s my boy! Barely twenty minutes. But I’m not surprised. You're amazing, after all.” Miles averted his gaze, still uncomfortable with the praise his father would constantly heap onto him, though secretly reveling in it. “You got forty minutes to spend however you want. Don’t go gettin’ to wound up though y’a hear. Y’a still got to get through science today.” Miles nodded racing off to the back yard to skateboard on the half pipe he and his father had built the past spring.

Public school could never, Miles thought as he skated. Homeschool just worked for him so much better than his old education system ever had. He was so lucky that Pa had taken him away from all of that.

[tesspieceface]

so im at day 44 of this dumpster fire of a lobocorp run. if you remember my last post you might notice that the "suppress 3 different aleph abnormalities" mission is gone. and that would be because i, stubborn as i am, insisted on clearing it during this run despite its circumstances being less than ideal for the task. im going to describe for you all what i went through so you can maybe come at least a little bit close to feeling my pain.

the context, if you're unfamiliar with the game:

aleph is the highest grade of abnormality. you need your strongest best-geared employees to work with them and you need your strongest best-geared employees to fight them.

"suppressing" an abnormality means defeating it after it's breached containment. most of the time, this happens by accident, but to clear the mission you'd most likely need to convince them to escape on purpose.

breaching abnormalities generally have something called a qliphoth counter, which can be raised or lowered (usually lowered) when specific things happen. they'll breach when their counter hits 0, or in certain other circumstances if they're feeling a bit spicy.

mission requirements need to be completed within a single day in order to clear. i could not spread my three kills over several days to make things easier.

i started the day with 19 employees, notably fewer than what i ended up with here. please pour one out for each of my six fallen nuggets. they were all level 5 and kitted out in waw and aleph gear so, if you're thinking of trying something stupid like this, you can do it with 19. but ideally you’d probably have more

okay. now lets look at the alephs i was dealing with.

the silent orchestra is a nuisance to work with in normal circumstances. anything other than a neutral work result lowers the counter, and if it reaches a certain phase after it breaches it sucks away all the energy you've gathered for the day. however, it is also content to stay in one place the whole time and if you group your employees up for each of its phases before letting it out it's not too much of a hassle to actually defeat. i hope you have a good source of pale damage though.

censored fucking loves to make your little guys panic and die. its counter lowers on getting a bad work result or if your employee panics, and even looking at it drains a huge chunk of sanity. when it gets out, anyone it kills gets turned into a minion and deals mass sanity damage to everyone in the room, which means the clerks running around become a huge fucking hazard.

the mountain of smiling bodies is the only one of my four alephs who is not content to just stay in its fucking box when you're not actively working with it. its counter lowers every time 10 people die, which will likely happen multiple times with a maxed out facility. also you really need to catch it before it eats up too many corpses and becomes way more difficult to deal with. be prepared if you see it jogging in place in its box.

blue star got to stay put this time around. i don't really know how much of a hassle it is to fight, but i would have needed to sacrifice multiple people to get it to breach and frankly it didn't seem worth it. possibly it’s easier to deal with than censored though, so, i dunno

but that's not the end of my problems, because i also have a bunch of other troublemakers in my facility, including:

the queen of hatred throws a tantrum if you go too long without a few people dying. usually this requires you to cull some clerks every so often. you can calm her down if this happens but if it doesn't work she will get out and laser beam through your hallways.

clouded monk gets upset if too many people die. if you're intentionally letting abnormalities out of their boxes he'll come out to join them sooner or later.

big bird also doesn't like people dying, but you can at least raise its counter again. still, if there's a lot going on and you have other things to worry about it'll probably get out.

meat lantern will break out if you work with it too quickly. if you don't keep a low level employee in reserve specifically to deal with it, it'll take up residence in a hallway and you have to painstakingly search for it before it eats whoever walks by.

little red riding hooded mercenary sees other abnormalities breaking out and decides she wants to join the party, which is especially painful here as i'm trying to fight some fucking alephs. she will run around and tear up half the facility if you're unlucky. slow bullets are probably really helpful here, huh. i should have used those.

nameless fetus is not a particular nuisance in this challenge unless you're just really unlucky. if its counter drops it starts crying and dropping the counters of everything else in the facility until you sacrifice a randomly chosen employee and watch them walk painstakingly slowly over to the containment unit. it's just kind of notorious. i still groan whenever i have to work with this thing.

express train to hell requires constant micromanagement, and if you forget it for too long while you're trying to deal with the menaces wreaking havoc in your facility you'll get a train zooming past. if you're lucky it will just miss everyone. if you're unlucky it will plow right through all your employees while they're bundled up fighting something else. i had this happen near the end of one of my attempts and i almost cried.

so you can probably see that this is not a very convenient setup and i'm basically waiting for mass mayhem to occur whenever i attempt these missions. if i were smarter i would have waited for a different run to do this. but i love making things difficult for myself. here's the approach that eventually got me through this mission, though not without casualties:

deal with silent orchestra at the start of the day, since it needs a bit of prep and that way you don't lose too much progress if something goes wrong and you don't kill it fast enough. this part generally went by with no issues.

don't forget the fucking train!!!!! keep someone hanging out over in its department at all times ready to reset it if needed. i don't worry too much about the hp/sp boosts from this thing, i generally just work with it whenever i have a free moment to get it out of my hair for a couple of minutes.

start gradually picking off clerks in censored's department to set up for later and to keep queen happy. the department should be entirely free of clerks by the time the thing gets out of its box.

it's a bit touch-and-go from here since things will snowball very quickly. little red and smiling bodies in particular need constant vigilance and it's not a matter of if so much as when they breach, probably at the same time. smiling bodies was higher priority for me, i'd gather everyone down in its department to wait for it if it was close to breaching and beat it up asap. clouded monk and big bird will probably be hanging around by now as well but they're slow as balls and can generally be ignored in favour of little red. chasing red can be a hassle so i’d usually group everyone in central command to wait for her and hope she doesn’t spend too much time tearing up the upper facility.

there will (hopefully) be a point where the chaos has passed and the facility is littered with corpses but is at least quiet. at this point just work as normal until hitting the energy quota, but obviously don't end the day yet as there's one more menace to deal with.

clear out any remaining clerks hanging around near censored and prepare to beat its ass. pick the most dispensable employee to work with it - ideally the work should make them panic but not die, if they die you risk having to send a second employee in. execute the unlucky sucker as soon as censored gets out, and hope it comes into the main room so you can fight it with the health regen on. (if it doesn't you can follow it into the hallway but this is obviously more dangerous.) do your best to keep everyone alive, because if even half your squad gets hit with the mass panic it's probably over. if you can bring it down, get the fuck out of there and eat whatever penalty you've gotten for dead employees.

thank fucking god that shit's over. i'm gonna try and clear those bottom two missions with what little time i have left in this run but the ordeals are a job for Later. i'm running out of abnormalities left to observe so hopefully my next run will be kinder to me. (i still need to meet whitenight and max out melting love though so it definitely won't be)

Shadow the Hedgehog

Hello all, I will say that I will stop cursing god cuz he/she/they fucking won. I've woken up the last 3 days with a 101 fever which is really bad for me specifically cuz my normal resting temp is 97 degrees (im cold blooded). So it is scary that you can be fine one day and then fighting for your life the next. I suppose since I never croaked I should be thankful for the chance to survive. I will not be, no fucking way I needed to wake up on Monday and be struggling to eat applesauce or even drink water. Meanwhile in my minds eye im like if i move faster than a centimeter a second im guaranteed to pass out and if i eat the wrong thing I knew it was coming back up. This is some terrible design, I plan on voting, I only want like 2 people to die (for good and valid reasons) and i never say bullshit like well my mother is gay or nothing I just take the bullet for when I fuck up in life so I expect boosted immune system or some shit when this is all over. Would I type up all of this just cuz im probably too sick to stream and want to talk to you all and think that I likely don't have the stamina to go back and forth within the discord? ..Yes but also I was already becoming slightly ill day by day and then I got a covid shot and a flu shot on saturday and to be Tian, that was the beginning of the end. I get it now. Naw I was mad illogical my whole sick episode. I was taking the style out of my hair because I just was having mad headaches due to the shit being mad heavy but I kept getting flashes of sakura cutting her hair with the Kunai. Being sick is some devilish work I tell ya. They even tried to put sakura against me like this gotta be what was happening in the old testament which had niggas tweaking trying to kill their own sons and was zapping bellies and making the pregnant. To experience some bullshit and to gain sympathy for those from a bygone era means that I am human. The really really really really funny part about all of this is that i finished my stream of shadow generations on sat and I didn't feel at 100% but i was at a cool 70% and like everyday after that I start at 25% and then slowly get to 60% by the end of the day. Shadow was created to help find a way to cure Maria how di he chaos control my sickness?? There's probably something deeper within this that can suggest being delulu is the solulu perhaps is a thing to look into. Ever since then i've been too sick to even ignore it therefore its impossible for me to get the delusional buffs. Dude like as I tried to work today, (I only was able to do a half day cuz naw), my body just decided to sweat like every 5 mins on a timer and it was so weird cuz it wasn't hot and it actively made my situation worse. I could feel the stamina leaving my body. The just Lock In Mantra was being combatted by involuntary actions coincided with imagery of crumbling self control. I have faith in my body when healthy but I am human like the rest of you. A faith easily tainted, a nightmare unharmoniously awoken from. I say all of this to say is that shadow is the most raw character ever to exist and if you get vaccines while sick it is extremely likely you will become and antivaxxer because I didn't think we made suffering like that no more to be completely honest. There's so many halloween things going on but im sick and I don't wanna spread it. I can't even take my cans up front I should probably be thinking about other things huh?

[no-ctrl]

I wish you were still my person but realistically I really don’t. I am tired of being alone. I hate expressing these feelings because realistically I’m not alone, I have my sister Jessica, I have my mom, I have my best friends Frida and Ruby. I am not alone but I am lonely. I miss having a person to text, someone to share my everyday life events even the most insignificant parts bc to them they won’t be insignificant bc I’m me. I miss having someone to rely on when I’m not 100% I’m tired of holding down my end of the bargain but get less 5% back in return (excluding my people) I am sad. Deep down I just want to be taken care, i want to be looked after, I want to be considered, I want to be valued, I want to be respected, I want to be genuinely and purely loved. Im tired of the hidden agendas or lack of consideration. I want to feel lovable. Im tired of feeling like I have to prove myself. I am lovable just as I am I don’t have to excel at everything and be perfect to be lovable I am enough as I am but some days im surrounded by people that make me feel as if im not. I want to be held. I miss Israel when he genuinely cared about me not the monster of a person he became. He hurt me to deeply in the end. He treated me like I was nothing and body to him. He had no respect to even give me a goodbye. He just ghosted me like we had not been together for nearly 6 years. I can’t help but feel so sad. I stood by his side for all the bad yet he could not give an ounce of love back. Im not even asking for him to be there in the bad time but he could not even give me love when I had none for myself. Instead he exploited that, he took advantage of my lack of self love and used me for his benefit whether tht be for sex, a ride, a free meal. He truly embarrassed me as a person, I am embarrassed that I also lacked so much self love, respect and discipline to stand by a person who did not care to look me in the face while taking advantage of me. I wish there was at least an ounce of remorse in his mind but knowing him there probably isn’t. At the end of the day it’s none of my business what he does or thinks but what I do know is it’s officially 8 months no contact. Soon to be 1 year. I guess if I could say anything to him is I hope you’re well, I’m good health physically and mentally, I wish you luck on your future, you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone, nothing in your past defines your current life. Respect although it’s all love too please leave me alone forever even if it kills me on the inside. Each day with no contact a piece of my heart dies, the place that hold the space of you. It needs to completely die, you have no place in living in my heart anymore. You don’t deserve space in my big sweet heart. You had it and instead of handling with care you ripped my heart to shreds then laughed in my face as you walked away. You left me and I don’t care how hard you life was bc mine was too but I never let that be an excuse to mistreat you. I don’t care what the reason was bc I deserve to be treated properly not what you did. The most I can do for myself right now is pursue my goals and achieve them for ME! I deserve to succeed in this life. I deserve to defy the odds. Life has put me through a tough walk of life at only 22 years old but I know my purpose in this life is to heal and blossom past the constraints life tries to shackle me in. I’m not defined by you Israel. I’m not defined by what you did to me. I’m not defined by all the terrible things in my past. I’m defined by the beauty I care from within and out. I am meant to shine in this life and I will not be dimmed by a guy. You’re just a guy. I am a humble, intelligent, charismatic, sweet, genuine, loving, thoughtful, considerate, caring person. That’s all me. You don’t just fake those sorts of things, that’s something I care within myself. And if I’m too much for you then you walking away was the best thing you could have done for yourself. Go find less elsewhere but you are no longer welcome in knowing who Jaymee is.

The genshin men: fatherhood edition

With: Childe, Zhongli, Kaeya, Diluc, Xiao, Venti, Albedo and Baizhu

—————————

Childe:

Ajax loves kids and he’ll make that known early on in your relationship

Like...This man wants five or more kids but he’ll settle for four. He dreams of a big family, getting to surround himself with you and your kids every night for family dinners, everyone getting together for big birthday parties or reunions! That’s his dream life! Plus, in Snezhnaya, most families have more than two kids anyways

He will cry so hard when his babies are placed in his arms for the first time, I mean he’s a mess. Nose is running, eyes puffy, lost of sniffling lmao he is so excited to be a dad!! Don’t you dare tell the other Harbingers how much he cried...What do you mean you took a picture when he wasn’t looking??? Hey??!?!

With his obscene amount of mora, he’ll buy a huge house that will accommodate everyone. Anything you want will be purchased that day or within 48 hours, the same goes for the kids

But they’ll all learn to be thankful for what they have. They’ll learn to fight, fish and speak multiple languages. He has high expectations but let’s face it, he’ll be proud of them no matter what

You’re gonna have to be the one to put your foot down though because Ajax doesn’t enjoy being the ‘mean parent’, he has trouble saying no to the kiddos which can create some tension between you and your husband. He has good intentions of course!! He doesn’t wanna say no to those cute, freckled faces!!

Zhongli:

Zhongli is nervous about having kids because he’s immortal. So this will go one of two ways. 1. You have the baby and the baby ends up not being immortal (or you adopt a baby who is not immortal) Then he loses you both. OR 2. You have the baby and it inherits his immortality and becomes an adeptus. Now he and the baby will have to watch you die while they both life forever.

Either way...It hurts him to think about because he loves you!! He wants to have a family with you!! He wants to give you that perfect family life every human desires!! But he’s torn

You two will just have to figure it out.

Zhongli will be a strong, male figure for your kid(s) and he will instill that traditional kindness and respect into their behavior. ‘Please’ and ‘thank you’ always, always offer to help someone who needs it, do good deeds and you will feel accomplished, be the best you you can be, alway try your hardest because that’s all that matters

He will be sure that your kid(s) always feel loved ALWAYS. Zhongli will tell them stories, cook for them, take them to school, anything that needs to be done. When you’ve had a rough day, he’ll step in to take over for the night without being asked. He shows interest in everything your kid(s) like and he will do his damn best to display every piece of artwork they make or every pretty rock they find

He...will make a great dad :’)

Kaeya:

Ooooh brother, at first Kaeya says no he doesn’t want kids but...Then he starts thinking about it

He observes the happy families that walk around the cobblestone streets of Mondstadt, how the kiddos smile and laugh with their parents. He’ll patrol in the afternoons, usually rounding the corner just in time to see the city’s kids leave school for the day, watching as they all run down the street to go home to their parents or play in the fountain together...Yeah, that really warms his heart

He’d want one or two kids, preferably two to avoid an only child being lonely. He isn’t on the best terms with Diluc but he can admit that they had a great childhood together, playing at the winery and running around as brothers do

Kaeya would be a very patient, understanding father. He doesn’t have much of a temper so he’d use the kids’ mistakes as learning opportunities instead of getting upset at them

He would be obsessed with the kids when they’re babies though oh man if you thought you had baby fever, he has it times ten! He loves holding the baby, watching with a twinkling eye as his baby grasps his thumb with its tiny hand... adorable

And if your kids inherited his eyes, his star shaped pupils that his ancestors passed down to him...He’s gonna get emotional

Everyone at the knights’ headquarters and the Angel’s Share will get sick of him REALLY fast cause he won’t stop bragging about how cute and smart his kids are lmao

Diluc:

Diluc would be such a soft dad don’t even get me started

He loves you so much of course he wants to have kids with you! Is that even a question?? He won’t be the one to bring it up unless he gets the feeling that you want kids but once you ask, he’ll agree so fast

He’ll be grateful to even have one kid with you :’) and he’ll be fine with however many kids YOU want. You want one kid? Perfect! You want four? No problem, the manor is big enough for ten! You...you want ten...? Time to hire some more maids then lmao

Diluc is a worry wart though, he’ll be afraid to hold the baby, feed it, bathe it, he’s terrified of hurting the baby or the baby suddenly hating him. So just help him out!! Cause when he gets comfortable with the baby, he’ll be in full dad mode

He isn’t embarrassed to walk around the manor, conducting business with a baby strapped to his chest!

Diluc is a very kind, gentle dad who will always offer helpful solutions to the kiddos’ problems. He’ll make sure all of their needs are met while also trying to avoid spoiling them... Too much... There will be a fair amount of spoiling...

His own father wasn’t too affectionate with him so that’s why he’ll be affectionate with his kids! Hugs and kisses when he tucks them in at night, big dad hugs when they get home from school, holding their hands in the busy streets of Mondstadt. His father was a great dad! He just aims to be better.

Xiao:

Like Zhongli, he worries about the mortality thing. Since he’s an Adeptus, his kid will certainly be an Adeptus too if you have kids together.

He also worries that his kid(s) will hate him. His duty is to kill demons which means that rain or shine, holidays, special occasions, day or night he’s gotta be ready to go slaughter demonic beings. So he’ll inevitably miss out on important stages in the kiddos’ lives

And admittedly... He’ll be scared of his kids lmao

They’re screaming, crying, barfing, pooping, laughing, screaming again...He can’t predict their behavior. It’s unsettling. All of that goes away one night when you sit him down and place your sleeping baby in his arms. His eyes go wide...And he just watches. This tiny, little baby...Feels no fear for him. It’s comforted by his presence. He almost cries...ALMOST

He’s still pretty much the same Xiao we all know and love but now he has a kid. “Slaying demons is what I do...Hey, go back inside and finish your dinner. Yes, even your vegetables. I don’t care that you don’t like them-...Fine. Don’t tell your mother, bring them to me. I’ll eat them” cute :)

He’s a protective dad and husband, he’d never let anyone or anything harm his beloved family

Venti:

Venti....does not want kids. He thinks they’re cute! He likes the idea of kids but he knows he wouldn’t enjoy actually having kids

You two already have so much fun together!! You don’t need a kid!! You guys have dogs!! Dogs are like kids! But they’re more independent and they’re cuter!

He’ll feel bad if you want kids and he doesn’t, he really will! But it’ll be nearly impossible to convince him cause he’s made his mind up :/

Venti’ll make it up to you somehow though, he’ll take you out more and show you all of the adventures you guys can have if there aren’t kids around

But for the sake of fatherhood headcanons, let’s pretend he gave in. Venti would be a very caring dad. He would cuddle the hell out of this kiddo and sing to them :’) the only problem is that Venti doesn’t like being tethered to one place for too long so he tends to take off and not come back for a few days... :(

Albedo:

Albedo wants kids mostly just to see what fatherhood would be like. He’s always been curious about what that part of his life would be like so why not have a kid

He’d be good with one kid, two at most cause after practically raising Klee, he knows how some kids can be and...He doesn’t have the mental capacity for more than two kids at a time lmao

He tries his best to show more emotion in his face. We all know he usually sits like this 😐 and goes ‘wow im so happy right now’. If you didn’t know him, you’d think he was bored out of his mind right? So he’s gotta work on that. And when he musters up a smile for the baby and it smiles back at him????? Yeah...He’s gonna try to smile a lot more now

He definitely softens up once he becomes a dad, he shows emotion more than he used to and surprisingly, he takes time off of work. Shocker, I know! He decides that he’s been in the lab long enough and that he wants to be able to be there for these moments with you and his kid(s) :’) :’) He trusts Sucrose and Timaeus to take over for him for a couple hours

He keeps a journal for each kid and writes down the date and time they have their firsts or just interesting things they do ->

- 8/4: Baby sees and plays with a cat for the first time

- 9/5: Baby smacked me in the face and laughed so hard she threw up

-9/12: Baby learns that pulling my hair gets my attention. She now continues to do so

-10/15: Baby stays at Aunt Klee’s house for the first time

Baizhu:

Baizhu really loves kids, he works with them a lot and he considers Qiqi to be his daughter anyway but in terms of you guys having a kid together, with his condition he can probably only handle one kid running around

He will do his absolute best to be a good dad. Even if he feels like death, he’ll help change diapers, feed the baby, care for it when you need a break. He isn’t contagious so when you’re sleeping and he feels gross, he’ll sit back against the pillows with the baby on his chest, the three of you resting together (though he doesn’t fall asleep...that would be dangerous for the baby)

Baizhu already tends to nag at you about your health and lifestyle choices but now?? He’ll be a menace. He’ll be constantly evaluating your baby’s condition, checking to see if a certain food is giving them a rash or making sure their skin isn’t drying out. He’s hyper aware of your baby’s health and will be the one to treat them if they get sick

He’s a busy guy since he runs the pharmacy but he will always do his best to be present for your baby’s big milestones! And when your kid cries cause Baizhu’s medicine tastes like shit, he’ll do his best to not be disappointed in their reaction lmao

When you leave him alone with the baby, he’ll wrap a scarf around himself to tie the baby to his chest while he works and...he looks so cute :) dad baizhu <3 <3 <3 <3

Bonus points for him buying the baby toy medical equipment so he can get your kiddo interested in medicine :)

[books-and-catears]

I’m back to cause more chaos! :D (You did my Savage MC so well, how could I not return?)

My idea for this request shall be head cannons of the Brothers reacting to an Mc that’s just over everything. Threats from other demons (including the brothers) don’t phase her. She’ll either have a blank expression or say something like:

Demon: I could kill you right now! 👿

MC:*smiles and raises eyebrows* Then do it. Put me out of my misery right now 😃

Since MC’s died before, she’s just not concerned about her life anymore and would say concerning things like:

“How messy do you think my corpse would leave the ground if I jumped from this ledge? 🤔”

“Go ahead and kill me, you’re making things easier for both of us ☺️”

“I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for my relation with Lilith, I would still be dead....So close *pouts* ”

When someone asks why she’s like this she just explains with a soft smile and empty eyes about the shit she went through in the Devildom and that she’ll never be the same person she was before she was forced there. “You can’t blame me for being fucked up. I’m just accepting it 😀”

(This is only if you feel comfortable doing this, I understand if you’re not since this can be touchy to other readers)

Oh my god. I was literally thinking about writing something like this three days ago but I got stupid college assignments and completely forgot. I relate to this so much I feel like you and I share a good amount of brain cells thank you so much for this ❣️❣️

Warning: Mention of death, suicidal thoughts

Lucifer: MC, you're late again. How many times do I have to tell you to maintain curfew?

MC: I was busy helping Solomon, Lucifer so lay off me and go scare someone else.

Lucifer: You dare talk to me in that tone of voice?! Is that how you're supposed to talk to me?!

MC: Oh great Sir Lucifer, I've seen death, you see. You will have to do more than just threaten me now.

Lucifer: *shocked* MC... I wasn't....

_______________________________________

Mammon: *seeing MC in a scuffle with a lower demon*

Mammon: MC! How many times do I have to tell ya to not pick fights with other demons!?

MC: *laughs* Why? Cause they aren't related to Lilith and so won't spare my life?

Mammon: MC...no...

MC: Honestly I'd rather be killed for being me than be kept alive in someone else's memory so go away Mammon.

Mammon: *tearing up* MC don't say that... *Holds your hand tight while taking you back home*

_______________________________________

Levi: MC for the last time, stop killing your character within 5 minutes of playing!!

MC: Sorry I can't help it. It's not like I can die that easy in real life!

Levi: ...what?

MC: Ah man these characters are lucky! Look just one little bomb and dead! *kills character again*

Levi: *quitting the game, hanging his head low* Let's a play a different game, okay?

________________________________________

Asmo: MC, would you like to join me in bed tonight? ;)

MC: Sure only if you choke me.

Asmo: Ah that's kinda kinky-

MC: Choke me like Belphie did.

Asmo: *horrified* MC, honey, no!

MC: Come on! Think of it as a kink!

Asmo: *distraught* Stop it MC! We're going to cuddle and kiss and you'll stop talking about this! *drags you and cuddles you tight to himself, softly sobbing*

_____________________________________

Beel: MC, you're standing too close to the edge there!

MC: How messy do you think my corpse will be if I drop from here, Beel?

Beel: *wide eyed* MC what-

MC: Oh my bad, can't have you watch your sister die in front of you again, can we? Ah man *pouts* why did I have to have her bloodline... You could have eaten me so long ago!

Beel: *breaking down in tears* MC no... please...MC just come back inside...*picks you and holds you tight to safety*... MC I would never eat you...

______________________________________

Belphie: MC what's wrong? Why won't you hug me back?

MC: *dry laugh* Sorry Belphie, it's just not the same without you berating my worth and choking me to death.

Belphie: *looks away hurt* ... I'm sorry.

MC: Maybe you can do me a favour instead of half assed apologies.

Belphie: Favour? Sure I can do that.

MC: Do us both a favour and kill me, will you? No more apologies for you, no more worthless living for me, how about that?

Belphie: *buries his head into his pillow* I'm sorry MC... I'm sorry...

________________________________________

Simeon: MC this is the third day you've eaten Solomon's cooking.

MC: Well it's not death, but it's close enough.

Solomon: Wait what?

Simeon: MC...

Luke: *crying and screaming* IM GOING TO KILL THOSE DEMONS! LOOK WHAT THEY DID TO MC!

MC: *pats Luke's head* It's okay Luke, I'm safe here with you guys right?

Luke: YES! THOSE DEMONS WON'T SEE YOU AGAIN!

______________________________________

Satan: MC I'm worried about the books you've been borrowing from the library lately.

MC: *sitting in the middle of books about lethal poisons and easy killing methods* Ah I wonder why~

Satan: Do you think I didn't notice how much you changed after your ressurection?

MC: Well good for you Sherlock. Say have you ever rage killed anyone? Cause I would love to volunteer.

Satan: MC stop. *Holds their hand* Don't be this way.

MC: *lifeless eyes and softly smiling* Try being brought to a whole new world without warning, getting ridiculed and threatened and made to feel weak by people you clearly you want to cherish, and then getting manipulated and killed by the person you only wanted to save.

Satan: *runs his fingers on your palm, listening*

MC: And then! Being brought back to life and told that you were spared for the sake of a dead stranger, who you have to replace.

Satan: *smiles sadly* Does being thrust into existence with a head full of memories and a heart of full anger and pain that isn't yours come close enough?

MC: ... Well a little. *holds his hand back*

Satan: You and I are more similar than you think. Our voices are but echoes of someone else's call. But it doesn't have to be that way always. Don't let it damage you like this.

MC: Ah well the damage is done. And I'm too tired to fix it, so I accept it instead. *dry laugh*

Satan: Well let me watch over this damaged soul then. *Brings out their favourite book* And for now let's read this instead.

MC: Can we go play with the cats later?

Satan: Of course, MC.

the great adventures of y/n tommy tubbo jack and ranboo - how y/n made friends with everyone

this is an extra to the great adventures series

requested: yes/no

warnings: cursing

tommy

you were actually friends with tommy when he was streaming to a few viewers, and you even watched as his channel grew. eventually he asked you to mod for him, as he knew he could trust you and because had experience being a twitch mod. he was also the reason you began streaming. as for how you met, you were in the same classes as him in highschool, and since you were the ‘quiet’ person in the class, they sat tommy next to you. honestly, you hated him when you first met him and the feeling was mutual. you didn’t want to sit next to the rather loud teenager and he had no one to talk to anymore as his friends were on the other side of the room.

“do you ever talk?”

“heh?”

“i said do you ever talk...do you always do that”

“do what”

“that fucking HeH.”

“are you mocking me simons?”

“noooo why would i do that...”

“it’s y/n.”

“right, yeah, yeah, i totally knew that.”

“great now please leave me alone i’m trying to work.”

“loser.”

“the fuck did you just say?”

“nothing.”

it was that moment tommy decided he was going to make you just like him, and a few years later that’s exactly what he did. by year 11 you and tommy had grown extremely close. the last day of school arrived a lot earlier than expected, everyone was extremely stressed, no one knew what to expect or what was going to happen. you found yourself hanging around with tommy a lot more as you had no idea if you would both be going to the same college, in september you received a text message that made your night:

tommy: college sent out emails telling you if you were accepted go check

*2 minutes later*

tommy: well?

y/n: i got accepted

tommy: me too

y/n: call me right now

tommy: i’m about to stream..have you ever considered streaming?

y/n: absolutely not

tommy: make an account and stream after me i’ll raid you..make me mod you know how people can be

once college started up, you were slightly nervous the two of you would drift away from each other. however this was far from the case, although you both did different subjects and he was only in on wednesdays, the pair of you would hang out together a lot more. he would be in your streams and vice versa, you would either be in his tiktoks, or you would be the one filming them.

“y/n make a tiktok we can be mutuals.”

“please god no.”

you spent so much time at his house either talking about random things, playing whatever game you could find, or streaming. he dragged you to every meet up he went on, allowing you to meet people such as niki, phil, and, wilbur. you didn’t know this, but he would constantly bring you up in conversations with dream, which eventually lead to you joining the smp in october where you would later be able to meet the likes of jack, technoblade and jschlatt. the only person you didn’t seem to see on the server was his other friend tubbo.

ranboo

you had become friends with scott after being his first twitch mod and when he noticed you started streaming, he was extremely supportive, always raiding your stream once he ended his. today you found yourself bickering with scott because he wouldn’t let you in mcc despite the fact you were ‘the best minecraft player.’

“y/n, i watched you die in minecraft 7 times last night within 5 minutes.”

“oh i’m sorry mr perfect, let me in mcc.”

“no.”

“fine i’ll make my own.”

and that’s exactly what you did..well you tried your best.

you started your stream as soon as scott ended and had him call you on discord after explaining to your chat what you were about to do.

“scott final chance let me in mcc, i’ll settle for access to the practice server.”

“fine.”

“REALLY?!”

“absolutely not!”

“fuck you, ill be in it one day!”

you left the call telling chat you didn’t need that negative energy in your life.

you really have scott to thank for you making friends with ranboo, scott made a tweet explaining what you were doing on stream which caught ranboos eye.

Smajor1995: after not making it into mcc again my good friend @y/n has decided to take it upon themselves to make their own on stream!! ill also be in the stream (if they answer my calls) *twitch link*

ranboo joined your stream and was instantly met with you yelling at scott (again) to let you in mcc.

“IM YOUR TWITCH MOD!”

“i will ban you from mcc!”

“you don’t have the nerve... so he left the call this is bullshit watch me land this water bucket clutch down this ravine so we can find axolotls and build an army.”

*you died*

you pulled your hood over your face before sinking down your chair taking a deep breath.

“FUCK!”

you calmly got back up and looked into your camera.

“i was so close, so very close.. HEY CHAT SCOTT SENT ME A LINK TO THE SERVER!”

a few minutes later you were able to get onto the server, only to be kicked less than a minute later. the reason you were banned being ‘i watched you fail the water bucket clutch down a ravine.’

you continued your build on your server and just spent the rest of the stream talking about anything that crossed your mind, that was until you decided to copy ace race. once finished, you looked into your camera and pulled your microphone closer to you.

“so this is race ace, so scott doesn’t sue me, and basically it’s going to be this course, but i’m going to change a random section practice it every day, not tell anyone it changed. of course i’m going to tell my team we have to win, oh fuck i forgot scott was watching my stream..it’s okay he didn’t hear me he’s too busy planning how he can rig the next mcc.”

ranboo found himself enjoying your content and even noticed you in his chat multiple times.

“just a minute chat i’m just sending an important dm to my mods.”

that’s when you noticed chat paused for a minute after you sent a message, it confused you for a minute before realising ranboo made you a vip on his channel and you decided to do the same for him on your channel, from there you added each other on discord. the pair of you made friends extremely quickly, you were constantly part of his streams as you would call him on discord not realising that he was streaming.

“hi y/n, by the way i’m streaming”

“i just wanted to ask if you knew how to break into a house?”

“....why”

“i locked myself out by accident and my parents are asleep come help me.”

“you are in the uk.”

“okay? catch a flight.”

chat honestly loved you and your friendship with ranboo. the pair of you only met a few weeks ago and you were already acting as though you had known each other for years.

jack

you and jack met for the first time on the smp, which would have been fine, however you met during lore and your characters weren’t exactly the best of friends. once lore had ended, everyone said their goodbyes and left the call. a few moments later you received a discord message from jack asking if you were available to call any time soon. since you were back in lockdown, you had plenty of free time. you arranged a time and date a few days later you called jack, where you had your first proper interaction out of character.

“hello jack!!”

“oh hi y/n i just thought it may be a good idea to get to know each other, well you know considering we’re both on the dream smp.”

“yeah, yeah, i understand what you mean.”

the pair of you ended up getting along with each other, it was slightly awkward for the first 5 minutes of the call, but that was expected since you hadn’t really met jack before and were anxious to call him. however, after that the conversation started to flow and you found out the pair of you had a lot in common making it easy to come up with things to talk about. it ended up feeling as though you were catching up with a friend you hadn’t spoken to for a while.

“has anyone told you your accent is really strong.”

“so is yours, y/n, what the fuck is that supposed to mean.”

“it means your accent is strong, duh.”

jack asked if you’d like to stay in call and join him on the smp whilst he streamed, and you gladly accepted the offer as you really didn’t want to do your college work, and you were enjoying your time with him. a few minutes into the stream jack had killed you several times.

“JACK STOP KILLING ME!”

rather than answering you he just sat laughing. he then went on to attempt to mute him microphone, he failed. however he didn’t realise this, so you sat listening to his plan on how he was going to kill you again. this time you were prepared, you sent a message to tommy telling him to log on along with your location. few minutes later tommy was by your side and helped you kill jack several times for revenge.

“Y/N...TOMMY!!”

“you didn’t mute your mic, so i told tommy you were bullying me.”

“im gonna go...BYE JACK, BYE Y/N, ILL SEE YOU SOON!”

“i can’t believe you.”

“hey you’re the one who didn’t turn your mic off.”

“how did you know?”

“i had your stream on my other monitor.”

“ayeee you watch my streams?”

“...i’ve been a sub for 4 months.”

the two of you stayed chatting and playing for another hour. the pair of you were already so close and you had only met each other the other day. this was just the start of your friendship, soon enough you were in a laugh and the stream ends challenge on his stream, however due to lockdown rules this was done over discord leading to you accidentally leaving the call several times.

“and they’re gone again!”

*4 minutes later*

“SORRY JACK IM BACK!”

“stop leaving y/n!”

“oh i’m sorry, let me just go yell at my wifi to stop cutting out!”

a few seconds later you could be heard faintly in the background screaming at your wifi as it would continue to buffer. as soon as restrictions were over one of the first things you decided to do was go to jacks and stream a laugh you lose where there was a punishment if you were responsible for losing the last heart. however everything was apparently hilarious in person as you would constantly laugh, meaning you were responsible for losing the last heart.

“y/n give me your phone.”

“no.”

“you lost let me tweet from your account”

“fine..”

soon enough your fans and friends with your notifications on received this twitter notification

“y/n: jack is so cool and funny he is also really tall i am not”

tubbo

tubbo was actually the last person you met and made friends with, your community were convinced for some reason that you both didn’t like each other and that’s why the pair of you didn’t talk to each other. this was far from the case you were both waiting for the right time, tubbo was an extremely busy teenager and you didn’t want to interrupt him, and tubbo knew you were currently in a stressful position since you had recently joined the dream smp, also you were still meeting people so he didn’t want to stress you out. this doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be your friend, he actually asked tommy since he had been your friend for at least 4 years what would be the best way of getting to know you.

“mate they hated me when we first met, just talk to them or something. you could have met them the last time i went up to visit you, but they ended up not feeling too good and went back to the hotel room.”

“when are you next coming up?”

“how about next week, and i’ll bring y/n, i really don’t understand why you’re nervous tubbo, it’s y/n they wouldn’t hurt a fly..well hmm.”

“see you next week then!”

a week later tommy dragged you to the train station.

“uh tommy where are we going?”

“...on a train.”

“no way, really? oh my god!”

a few hours later you finally got off the train.

“ill go with my dad to check into the hotel room, do you want to come with us or?”

“i think i’ll go for a walk and stretch my legs.”

“right okay, meet you at the beach later”

you spent a few minutes walking around the beach picking up any rocks and shells that caught your eye, little did you know it would result in you meeting tubbo. once you finished putting your new collection in your pockets you noticed a small crowd of people walk up to someone asking for pictures assuming it was tommy you walked over to the boy, it wasn’t tommy it was in fact tubbo. at first you stayed silent not wanting to really cause attention to yourself. you only spoke up when some people started to make inappropriate comments towards him.

“oh sorry to be a pain guys me and tubbo have plans with tommy in a few minutes, we should go so we’re not late. bye guys.”

you smiled and waved as they walked away. you looked over to tubbo, you could tell he was still pretty anxious about what just happened and honestly if you was in his position, you would react the same way.

“we should probably move from here incase they come back and see you’re still here, are you okay?”

“im feeling better now it’s over..thank you”

“oh it’s no problem i’m, y/n btw.”

“wait you and tommy were still meant to be on the train.”

“the train was actually on time, tommy went to check into the hotel i wanted to stretch my legs, i also wanted to collect some rocks.”

“did you collect enough or did you want more?”

“im not going to say no if you wanna go collect some with me.”

the pair of you walked around keeping each other close incase the people from before returned. half an hour later, the pair of you sat on a bench close to the beach so you could show tubbo everything you decided to pick up, he ended up keeping a rock he liked to have as a memory. tubbo wrapped an arm around you as it was getting cold whilst you watched the sunset.

“tubbo i think tommy forgot about me.”

“you can spend the night at mine, i’ll send him a message to let him know.”

“are you sure?”

“of course!”

“this has to be the most unsafe thing either of us will ever do, we hardly know each other and now i’m staying at yours.”

tommy sent you a message explaining that he didn’t forget, there was a problem at the other hotel and they had to go find another one, but you’ll be fine to stay at tubbos for the night. the pair of you spent the entire night learning as much as you can about the other person. it had only been an evening but you already knew the pair of you would be great friends.

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

the day before.

there was something about this day that you were very much looking forward to, not because you had been nearing your 8th year, but not only graduation was occurring tomorrow, your birthday had fallen on that day.

after the wizarding war, you needed the year away from hogwarts. minerva had been kind enough to give you the year off to recover mentally, but gave you a full scholarship for your 8th year.

being the eldest in the school made you somewhat powerful, but you didn’t want to let that get to you.

the 8th year was something new to the hogwarts, instead of focusing on every  subject like the rest of the school, 8th years were allowed to pick one subject of their choosing and make that as their major. whilst going to a muggle university was something that interested you, you didn’t know what you would study, the choices were endless.

so studying at hogwarts felt like the best option.

you were back with some of your friends, a vast majority of the teachers returned including none other than severus snape.

shockingly, severus sided with the order at the last moment. the moment you witnessed him die at your hands, you had to let out all your feelings to him, your first kiss was with him at his last breath.

or so you figured.

seeing severus come out of the middle of nowhere, taking harry potter’s dreaded position of dueling lord voldemort one last time; made you feel so many emotions and yet so little at the same time.

seeing him at the rightful place, made you feel happy for him.

but who were you to judge?

you were a mere simpleton, nothing but a hogwarts student.

the moment he heard every word of your confession, severus had this instinct within him that you were a person that he wanted.

he had almost been ecstatic upon seeing your name on the returning students list, if anything he was glad that you were returning, especially that you were majoring your 8th year in potions. whilst he didn’t admit this to anybody; you were his favourite student by a landslide.

during the first few lessons, there was an awkward tension between you both. you could cut it with a knife if you had to.

you both tried to bring up the events that unfolded between you both during the classes, both of you felt the same discomfort. only the two of you knew what happened that day, in the shrieking shack.

when the both of you were ready to talk of such events, severus was the first to make sure that you were comfortable with talking about such…memories.

to him it wasn’t a memory, more like a very lucid dream.

you stayed back after classes with him, as you both sat under a dim candlelight to ease the mood, he even made you tea.

severus snape? making tea?

preposterous.

you’d remember that day like the back of your hand, tears were shed and confessions were made, and lo and behold, your lips pressed against his passionately as you both exchanged breathless and tearful ‘i love yous.’

you remembered every part of it. that day felt like something out of an angsty muggle drama but it was your angsty muggle drama.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

“miss l/n, a word if i may? i must speak with you after class.” severus said, you only nodded at his words.

it felt weird being called upon by severus now that you were much older and survived so much, but you always felt scared around severus. not to say that in the moments you have had with him were horrifying, but you almost found yourself unsure of what to say sometimes unless either one of you brought on a topic.

so now that you were both in the same room, alone with him…was something that made your stomach perform front flips.

you stood at your desk, shifting uncomfortably to yourself. as you waited for him to initiate the conversation, you couldn’t help but think of the tension in the room.

as soon as the door slammed shut, severus’ attention was on you.

“how have you been feeling?” was the first thing that he asked.

you expression fell into perplexity as you looked up to your professor.

“are you asking me…that?” you asked.

you were prepared to be scaled for using the wrong ingredient in your specialized potion, not be asked that sort of question.

“i’m fine sir.” you answered.

severus looked to you for a moment, that was when he knew you were not fine.

you’d always let your guard down upon his uses of leglimency. it was one weakness of yours no matter how many times you had been tutored for such a thing.

“i for one, am not convinced.” severus replied back.

“sir i’m doing okay.” you said. you looked down to your already trembling hands, that was the moment that severus approached you. now you were at least a meter apart from one another.

“have a seat, miss l/n.” severus said, gesturing you to the chair opposite his desk, you sat down as you watched him make a cup of tea.

it was quite the experience watching him do the most mundane of things, it was almost soothing to those eyes of yours. as he handed the cup to you, you smiled kindly to his gesture before taking a sip of your tea.

then the awkward shifting came along. you really didn’t know if you were sure of staying.

“how are you really feeling y/n?” severus asked once more.

you felt your heart sink slowly and your lip quivering. “alone.” was all you could say.

you did feel very lonely, not many people you knew were coming back to hogwarts, even when you joined the initial induction period for the 8th years, there weren’t many people you knew you could get along with.

you found ultimate comfort in being with your potions professor, marking assignments with him, making potions with him. that was where you felt safe but something about today didn’t make you feel such a thing.

“everything’s changing…and i don’t like it. there’s nobody here i know, i don’t even know why i decided to stay. i shouldn’t have, i wasn’t ready to go…back into my studies, not after the war. but…” you stopped in your tracks, you knew what you were going to say but you couldn’t.

not since the war did you come around to your feelings for severus. you were almost delusional on the aspect of it.

“but what y/n?” severus pressed slightly.

“that day…where you almost died…in my arms, i couldn’t hold it in any longer. if i never saw you again, i just had to do it.” by this point you let out all your tears, the sheer concept of losing severus was something that always shattered you.

“and believe me, i mean every single word of it severus. you deserve my love, you…deserve love.” you quivered as this expression on your professor’s face swiftly turn to dismay, he never deserved such happiness, he didn’t deserve you. not in the slightest.

severus was still in disbelief that you were even confessing such things, in a normal life, he would have been the conventionally attractive potions professor to which every girl would smother him in bribes to get them to pass.

but this wasn’t the case.

he listened to you admit that you accumulated feelings for him at the beginning of 6th year, and you knew that he wasn’t perfect. but you loved him for the person that he was on the inside and if anything, that was what mattered to you.

you pressed a soft kiss to his lips. he was already taken aback at your words but the moment you kissed him, he caved in and let himself share the passion that you always wanted.

“i love you severus.” you murmured with tears shedding your eyes.

“i love you so much.” you replied again.

severus’ head was buried into your hair as his tears were hidden away in shame.

“i love you.” he mumbled, only quiet enough for him to hear.

you had yearned for someone who shared the exact same love and passion, perhaps even more…and if severus was that person, your life would be whole.

a life with severus was all you could see.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

it had been a very long day for both students and staff alike, you had finished your exams now you were free of hogwarts. the place that you had called home for the longest time.

but most importantly, it was a place of closure and acceptance.

while severus had been stuck at his desk marking the final two assignments, he couldn’t help but think of you being in his arms tonight. the only time he found himself at peace was when he was resting with you in his arms, he never thought he would find love. not after the events that unravelled, it would seem impossible but opening the door to you seemed to be something he wouldn’t regret.

granted, it would take him a lot of getting used to. he wasn’t used to being loved, not even by someone like you.

as severus shifted in his bed, he noticed that you weren’t there. you didn’t go far, he found you by the fire place at his chambers, looking down at something.

were you upset?

did he hurt you?

he took note at how you hunched over something, but what would it be was the question?

“y/n…is everything okay dear?”

you turned around to see your beloved, a worried expression on his as you were instantly startled by his voice.

a loving smile perked to your face, severus’ footsteps gently pressed to the ground as you found him next to you, glaring into the fire.

“i couldn’t sleep.” you answered, this wasn’t a lie. the whole day you found yourself on the edge of your seat, perhaps the  post exams season was getting to you more than you anticipated.

“something’s bothering you dear.” severus said, his fingers trailing to your hair and letting them rest on his fingers. you instantly melted into severus’ touch as you laid on his shoulder, his own eyes illuminating with love as he wrapped his arms around you, stroking your shoulder as he pressed kisses to your head.

“it’s my birthday tomorrow.” you replied, looking up to him as your hands rested on his chest and slowly your eyes trailed to the small clock at the front of the fire place.

“you’d be flying off the room left, right and centre because your birthday is slowly here.” severus said.

“you’d pester me into staying up…at ungodly hours so you could hear me say those 2 words.” he continued and you couldn’t help but let a dry laugh escape your lips.

“that would be the case.” you said.

“do you remember that time in 5th year i was helping you mark assignments and merlin…i didn’t realize how much time went by until i looked at the clock and it was 15 minutes before midnight, and i made us do absolutely nothing but glare at a clock until it was my birthday.” you said.

severus let out a small laugh but one enough to melt your heart.

“oh how naïve you were.” severus said, his lips twitching to a smirk.

“whilst the nostalgia is valid, something else plagues your mind, what is it love?” severus asked.

“i’m scared sev…of so many things.” you answered.

severus looked to you and tilted his head, why would you be fearful about your birthday? that was the question at hand, he nodded slightly as a gesture for you to continue.

“there’s so many things that make me scared about my birthday…this birthday in particular, i know i have so much ahead of me, but there’s something holding me back. i fear this birthday will be the same as all the others, something bad’s going to happen…it’s been like this before.” you said.

severus couldn’t help but understand, he had the same feeling as you did. whilst his birthday wasn’t celebrated out of his choice, he always felt something wrong will happen. but you always made an effort to make him have a smile on his face, that day on january 9th.

“everything’s changing severus. and i’m so scared.” you said.

the realities soon dawning on you that tomorrow you would be leaving hogwarts, and you will be looking ahead to the future, but yet it was the most uncertain thing looming over you.

severus’ fingers trailed to your chin, making you look at him. under the fire, it was as if you could read severus like a book.

how his eyes told a million words.

“i understand…more than you can ever know. things are changing, but you and me…we will not change, we shall not part ways, i’ll never forgive myself if we did. rest assured, all of these questions and feelings of tomorrow will go away. it will be the most perfect day for you and i will make sure that you have a birthday to never forget.” severus replied.

a smile on your face perked to your face and it looked as if it wasn’t going to leave any time soon.

“you don’t have to make sure of anything sev, just you being here…is perfect enough for me.” you said.

“i insist on such a thing, you’ve come so far…it’s the least you deserve.” severus replied, he brought your hands to his cheek for a moment and you pressed a loving kiss, under the fire which accompanied you both.

you pulled away for a moment only to look at the clock, you picked it up for a moment and as you saw the ticking hands move in the same clockwise motion, it had hit midnight and the feeling had instantly sunk in. you felt severus press kisses to your temple as the new day passed by.

“happy birthday sweetheart.” severus said.

he was always the first person to tell you this, he wasn’t incompetent enough to forget his students’ birthdays, well at least the slytherin students that had been under his wing for the most part.

“thank you…for staying up with me.” you said.

“i always will y/n.” he replied, a kiss to your forehead was met as your smile was enough to warm his heart.

“now, i think my birthday girl needs a good night rest.” severus suggested.

you whined slightly at the thought of going to bed, by this rate you’d probably become nocturnal from blending your night routine with his. “sevvy noo! i’m not sleepy enough.” you sulked childishly.

“now now buttercup, you do need a good night’s sleep…after all you do need some energy for tomorrow.” severus said.

“no! i wanna stay up some more.” you replied as you crossed your arms and turned your face away from severus’ hypnotizing gaze.

but yet you couldn’t entirely disobey him, as he gave you the raise of his brow your lips formed a small pout as you knew he’d won. severus pecked your pouted lips and your nose as he scooped you into his arms, lifting you as his fingers met your thighs.

“there’s a good girl.” he praised, a small giggle could be heard knowing damn well you’d get flustered over his nicknames for you.

once you arrived at the bedroom, you cuddled right up to severus’ chest with a book at hand. “can we please finish reading this…i really want to get started with the wizard of oz.” you said, giving him the book in his hand.

it was a childhood copy of your favourite book, alice’s adventures in wonderland. lewis caroll’s works always seemed to intrigue you, from when you were a kid and it was a piece of children’s literature that you gently cherished for the rest of your life.

severus took the book from your grasp. severus had gotten into the habit of reading books to you, every night before you fell asleep. there was no doubt that you wanted to get through a lot of your books, as you hadn’t found the time to read them but something about him reading to you made your day complete.

his voice.

oh that voice of his, it wrapped you up like a warm hug. so soothing to your ears, and was enough to make you melt.

you rested your weary head on severus’ chest as his arm wrapped around your middle while the other held the book.

“so alice got up and ran off, thinking while she ran, as well she might, what a wonderful dream it had been. but her sister sat still just as she left her, leaning her head on her hand, watching the setting sun, and thinking of little alice and all her wonderful adventures, till she too began dreaming after a fashion, and this was her dream. first, she dreamed of little alice herself.”

“once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee, and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers—she could hear the very tones of her voice, and see that queer little toss of her head, to keep back the wandering hair that would always get into her eyes—and still as she listened, or seemed to listen, the whole place around her became alive with the strange creatures of her little sister’s dream.”

“so she sat on, with closed eyes, and half believed herself in wonderland, though she knew she had but to open them again and all would change to dull reality—the grass would be only rustling in the wind, and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds, she pictured to herself how this same little sister of hers would, in the after-time, be herself a grown woman; and how she would keep, through all her riper years, the simple and loving heart of her childhood: and how she would gather about her other little children, and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale, perhaps even with the dream of wonderland of long-ago: and how she would feel with all their simple sorrows, and find a pleasure in all their simple joys. remembering her own child-life, and the happy summer days.”

as severus read, you couldn’t help but look at him… you noted at how peaceful he looked, a warm smile perking to your face as you closed your eyes and drifted off to sleep.

severus looked down at you, resting against his chest, he put the book away and couldn’t help but notice how you looked so perfect, even if you were fast asleep. he shifted slightly so that he was adjusted to a better sleeping position, his chin resting on your head.

“i hope all your adventures with me are wonderful, much like alice has. you are perfect beyond belief and i do hope you know that y/n. sweet dreams my love.” he said, pressing a kiss to your head before he too had to close his eyes before falling asleep, in his own dreamless slumber.

“now before you all depart, i must bring to our attention we have one more thing.” minerva mcgonagall announced.

the 8th year students murmured to themselves as they began to ponder what else could happen next.

“we have decided to host our order of merlin here at hogwarts, at the highest class. this student has shown progression and improvement beyond our belief, she was the most selfless person and saved the life of our valued member of staff.” minerva said, her eyes glaring to severus with happiness.

“i wish this student in every endeavour, from the slytherin house, join me in congratulating y/n l/n.” minerva announced.

you were in just as much shock as everyone else. you made your way to the front, shaking minerva’s hand and the many hands from varying members of the order, before reaching to grab your order of merlin.

a tearful smile left your face as students and staff alike applauded you for your service.

you looked over to severus who simply nodded at your achievement, but if you looked closer…you could see the smallest smile on his face.

as the graduation slowly came to an end, you saw the empty great hall and there you stood as severus approached to you and embraced you in his arms.

to say he was proud of you was an understatement.

you were pulled into a kiss that fuelled your desires more and more each second, as you pulled away you couldn’t help but smile at your beloved.

“oh y/n, my dear don’t cry just yet. your birthday hasn’t even started yet.” severus said, his thumbs wiping away your falling tears, you giggled sheepishly as you rubbed your eyes of any tears.

“i’m not upset sev, we did it.” you said.

“no love, you did it. and i couldn’t be more proud of you.” severus answered after pressing his lips to your hands that held the order of merlin.

“come on my love, its your special day.” he added, holding your hand with his as you followed him into the chambers you shared. you got changed out of your formal dress, you hung up your graduation robes, leaving it in your wardrobe before picking out your outfit. you put on your shoes and opened the bedroom door to find severus waiting for you.

severus’ heart skipped a beat upon seeing you, he had you all to himself and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

“you look beautiful, oh so…perfect. were you saving this for me kitten?” severus asked.

“maybe.” you replied you held his hand. you knew that you had a little surprise in store, but that had to wait until later on.

“the world awaits us my dove, i’ve created a day you surely won’t forget.” severus said, his hand squeezed yours softly before you followed him out of his chambers.

you couldn’t wait for what your birthday had in store, you were quick on your feed to ask him what he had in mind, but severus didn’t give away a single thing. not one clue to even help you.

if there was one thing severus was good at, it was surprises. he was always full of them and it made you love him more and more.

you followed severus to an abandoned part of hogwarts, that happened to be an apparating point that he had often used.

“hold on.” severus said. you followed his instruction and held onto his arm, at that point it had felt like you were rocketed through the air in a cannon.

views rushed to your gaze like you hadn’t seen before, rivers and lakes had followed you and severus in your apparition. next was the town of london, that was most certainly on your places to visit soon. everything rushed behind you as you found yourself landing at severus’ destination.

“are you alright y/n?” severus asked, he had been worried the adrenaline from apparating might have made you sick as you sat on the grass taking deep breaths.

“hm?”

“was the apparation too much for you love?” severus asked.

“a little…but i’m fine.” you answered.

severus waved his wand and soon, a small water bottle was in your grasp. he reached to his knees and, pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“drink…you’ll feel better.” he said.

once you took a few sips of water, severus handed you a potion that would help you with the side effect of such shock, to which you drank, saving the rest for the journey home.

“where are we anyway? we’re in the middle of nowhere.” you asked.

“you’ll see, love.” was all severus replied back with as he helped you up and you followed him, you slowly arrived into a rural shop. you looked up at the sign and for a moment, you recognized it.

“i haven’t been here since i was…a kid, how did you know this was my favourite place?” you asked.

“you showed me a picture and said; ‘severus that’s my favourite place.’ was that not the events?” he asked.

“i’m being serious sev.” you said, prodding his shoulder as you wanted an actual answer from him.

“you mentioned it to me when we got to know each other…properly.” he answered.

you then begun to remember how the event came to be, you sat behind severus’ desk as you sipped tea with him as you idly watched him mark assignments, asking him if there was one place you could go to where would it be?

you mentioned this town to him, and it was the one place you wanted to go back to when you were older.

“come on there might be some new shops around here.” you said taking a hold of his hand and leading him through the small town.

as you walked hand in hand, he only listened to you. your voice soothed him, made his heart warm when it didn’t deserve to.

you talked about every shop that you had gone to, mentioning how there were a handful of new shops that had opened.

“do you know, i love this place. its very small, and everyone knows…well everyone.” you said.

“and…there’s a good bond with muggles and wizards alike.” you added.

“oh oh! this café, i haven’t been there since i was a kid…do you want to go inside?” you asked severus.

“it is your birthday love, i’ll go where you go.” he said.

a warm smile left your face as you both entered the café. the café wasn’t too busy, it adorned white paint all over and if you’d look closely, pygmy puffs littered across the table, making high pitched squeak sounds.

“welcome to pygmy’s how may i help- hold on a second, y/n?” the lady asked.

“mrs slope!” you beamed, reaching over to the till and giving her a hug.

“long time no see, you look well.” mrs slope replied ruffling your hair.

“oh this is severus, i don’t think i’ve introduced him to you yet.” you said.

“severus snape huh? well you’re one lucky man, you have one of the kindest girls in your hands. i hope you treat her well.” the lady replied.

“thank you…we’ll be taking our seats soon.” severus said, as you guided him to a table near to the most pygmys.

mrs slope happened to be the shop owner of pygmy’s, she moved to the small town due to the poor experience working nine to five as a city secretary, all her life she wanted to become a café owner so when you came along and supported her business, soon business was thriving for her.

you both sat down, and picked up the menu, going through the items on the paper.

“oh…i hope you don’t mind mrs slope.” you said.

“not at all, you seem to have a good connection, i don’t wish to invade that.” severus said.

“oh you’re not invading anything severus, you’re more than welcome to drop by any time!” mrs slope soon slipped by with a small notebook at hand and clicking her pen.

“what’s the event and what would you like?” she asked.

“what do you…y/n?” severus was about to ask but you were too intrigued by the pygmy puff that had been squeaking on the top of your head.

“oh sorry let me take bobby off my head.” you answered as you tapped gently on the table for the pygmy puff to get off.

“always been a fan of pygmy puffs she has.” mrs slope said.

“now that bobby’s gone to pester his siblings, what would you like from the menu?” mrs slope asked.

“the avocado on toast please. it’s my birthday, so something that can weigh me down for the day.” you answered.

“your birthday? oh y/n why didn’t you say so, right…you’ll be having the friends and family discount, and you’re getting my complimentary cupcakes on me, i’m not taking no for an answer.” mrs slope quipped up.

“you’re very kind mrs slope.” severus managed to say, to be quite honest, the lady’s personality was quite the opposite to his.

“oh i got it from her, it rubs onto me sometimes.” mrs slope said, ruffling your hair.

“thanks penny, i think severus has been waiting to order for quite some time.” you said, shooting a quick glare to severus and then a small smile appeared to your face.

“i’ll have the espresso please.” severus answered.

“you’ll need a bit more than that if you’re taking your girl out-“

“i’ve tried, goes on with the day on nothing…that will be all, thank you.” you said.

as mrs slope walked off, you looked over to severus who had been littered with pygmy puffs on his shoulder.

“they like you.” you giggled.

you gently held one of the fluffy creatures, but before you could instantly do so it jumped to your shoulder.

“they like you more.” severus said, who had also held on in his grasp.

you found it downright adorable, the sight of seeing the foreboding severus holding the pygmy puff like it was his first born daughter.

severus seemed to be at peace with the pygmys, but his waiting time for your order seemed to be cut short after settling a dispute with 2 of them fighting for his hair.

after you handled the creatures, soon your order came. as you were about to pay for the  order, severus had placed 15 sickles at mrs slope’s grasp. you were both left with your food and drink, you took bites of your toast, but you almost choked as bobby couldn’t resist wanting to take a swim in severus’ coffee.

“bobby you silly pygmy, come on, sevvy needs to drink his coffee.” you said, stroking bobby before it scurried away.

severus couldn’t help but think of you, he really was one lucky man.

once you had both finished, you had taken the small box of complimentary cupcakes and walked out hand in hand with severus as he lead you to the next destination which was an open field.

you both found a sunny patch of grass and sat down on it, looking out at all the other hills that were higher than the one you and your lover had sat on.

“i’d like to give you something, a gift.” severus said. you tilted your head quite eagerly, as a smile slowly perked to your face.

then severus took out a small box from his pocket, placing it in your grasp. the velvet box softening your grip. when you opened the box, it had revealed to be a necklace with your favourite flower inside.

your smile grew wide as you pulled  severus into a hug, much to severus’ surprise.

“i thought you wouldn’t like it.” he admitted.

“how could i hate anything you get for me? severus, i love it. i swear to never take it off, its so beautiful! thank you so much.” you replied back.

you let severus put the necklace on for you, you took a closer look at the flower and beamed.iIt showed in your expression and severus was glad to have made you this happy.

“i love you severus, you’re so kind.” you said.

kind.

that was a word nobody would dare associate the potions master with. he wouldn’t dare break down the brick wall for anyone, but seeing your face at every moment of his life, he wasn’t the potions master. he was simply severus snape.

the man who loved.

“i love you too y/n, my sweetheart.” he replied back, pressing a chaste kiss to your lips before slowly letting go.

“did you bring the book?” you asked.

severus picked up the copy of wizard of oz, you didn’t get round to reading it instantly as you fell asleep, but before you could even listen to severus’ pretty voice, you opened the box and saw the 2 cupcakes.

“red velvet, she knows me well.” you said.

“i think yours is dark chocolate.” you added, severus picked up the cupcake and took a small bite into the sweet delicacy.

he hadn’t had anything sweet in quite some time, perhaps he could treat you and himself today.

the moment you both finished the cupcakes, you were quick to scoot closer to severus and gave him the book.

“ready, love?”

you nodded, resting your head on severus’ chest as he begun to read the book. another book that you held very near and dear to your heart, and hearing him recite each and every word was enough for you to melt in his arms.

you could listen to him talk or read, in this case for hours.

your attention shifted to a rabbit that had been nibbling on some grass nearby, and quickly hopped onto your lap.

“y/n, dorothy gale has just endured a cyclone and could possibly have a concussion- what are you giggling about-” severus asked as the more he read the more you laughed.

his eyes averted from the paper and there you were, resting your head on his chest with an abandoned rabbit.

“can we keep it?” you asked.

severus blinked at it looked at the white rabbit, its ears drooped and its tiny nose had been twitching for seconds on end.

“for today.” he answered, which made you comfort the rabbit and held it warmly as severus continued to read.

you looked out to let the nature sink in, your attention swayed to a cottage nearby, it had landed at the bottom of the hill you were sitting on and had the perfect way to the forest.

once severus found the perfect place to stop reading, he slipped the bookmark onto the paper and closed the book.

you eventually had to let go of the rabbit since it found its mum and dad, and watched it hop away. perhaps one day, you would have your own pets and be the best rabbit parents there were.

“there’s a cottage over there.” you said.

“ah you noticed dear?” he replied back.

“yeah…it would be so nice if we could live far away, from everything.” you said.

he could almost feel those words snake around him, he had to ask.

it would do him no harm.

“that’s why we’re here…being with you, has and always will be something i hold close to me and i thought, we can’t live at hogwarts all the time. so…what i am asking is, if you would…you would like to move into that cottage?” severus asked.

you let the words process for a moment, sure you shared your chambers with severus but he was right.

this wasn’t the whole truth either, spinners end was a place he had planned on letting go, after he made the unbreakable vow with malfoys (now long from severus’ contact, he had to come back into contact with them somehow.) his home wasn’t the same anymore.

as for you…

you weren’t going to hogwarts again, you had a whole year to get your life sorted and solidified, what did you have to lose?

“i don’t know what to say…you brought me here, closer to home for this?” you asked him.

he could feel your response, the never ending rejection, he could see it play out, you say no and walk away on him.

“of course. i’d love to move in with you.” you answered.

“you would….you would?” he repeated.

“wherever you go i go.”

the words hit his heart as a visible smile creeped up to the man’s foreboding face.

you hugged him and in that moment…that simple moment.

he was loved.

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

you had arrived at severus’ chambers after exploring the small childhood town, your birthday had slowly been coming to a close, you had been outside all day, interacting with people who managed to remember you from your childhood days, you even managed to have a look at the cottage that you would be moving in to with the man of your dreams (quite literally.)

“have you enjoyed yourself love?” severus asked.

“it’s been absolutely perfect sev. i couldn’t have asked for a better birthday.” you replied.

if you were happy, then severus was.

he was always taught to keep his emotions to himself, but he always failed such a lesson because of you.

how kind and gentle you were with him.

“i have one more surprise for you y/n.” severus said.

“you do? oh let me get into something more comfortable, i’ll be back before you know it.” you said, going to your room and of course picking out the best for last.

severus had taken out the cake from the fridge and placed it on the table, the moment he looked up nothing but shock and adoration was left to his face.

“do you like it?” you asked, now your body was left in the lingerie piece that you thought of taking out.

for once, severus was speechless.

you slowly approached him and found yourself sitting at the table, looking over to the cake at the desk with a smile.

“you know severus…you’re so thoughtful, you even got me a cake.” you said.

“made.”

you tilted your head, with brows furrowed.

“i…made it.”

severus grabbed his wand and lit up the candle, insisting on you to make your wish.

you closed your eyes and the moment your wish was made, you blew out the candle and as you took the candle out from the cake, you looked to severus who had been gazing at you for quite some time.

“you’re beautiful.” severus managed to utter out.

those 2 words made you hide away, you often felt unsure of yourself and you confided in severus about this, but severus always made you comfortable with yourself.

always pushing you to wear bolder outfits you didn’t often wear, in the times that you had gone clothes shopping with severus, you always picked up something you wished to wear but put it back on the rack once that feeling of insecurity came in, but severus insisted and helped you overcome your insecurities and how you perceived yourself.

“you really think so?” you asked.

severus couldn’t help but let a frown appear on his face, cupping your cheek as his eyes shifted to your body from time to time.

“i do, and always will. y/n, you are perfect. and i love you.” severus answered.

“i love you…so much.” you replied.

severus pressed a kiss to your forehead before reaching for the cake on the plate. “now, i think my sweet girl deserves some of this cake, don’t you think?” severus asked.

you nodded, but you were then met with that raise of a brow from.

“yes severus.” you corrected yourself, using your words this time.

“that’s my girl.” he said, severus took the fork and dug it into the cake you took the first forkful, the instant taste of red velvet hitting your taste buds.

“do you like?” he asked. his hands placed on your waist as you nodded blissfully.

“i love it sev.” you replied back as another forkful of cake came your way.

his other hand all over your middle as he left you compliments left, right and centre.

as you continued to be fed, you could feel his other hand all over your body. his touch was perfectly intoxicating.

“you sweet girl.” severus said, prodding your nose with the fork with some icing on it.

“hey! you silly man.” you giggled, your laugh warmed his heart.

all he wanted for you was to be happy and it looked as if he succeeded on that. you scooped the icing from your nose and ate it, you undoubtedly had a sweet tooth and could indulge in many sweet things…severus being one of them.

“you’ve nearly finished, just a few more forkfuls.” severus said. you nodded and continued to feed you the cake.

he’d had forgotten he was even doing this, for severus had been far too occupied with admiring your body. how his hands pressed to your stomach and fit perfectly in his hand, then they would slither around your waist, stroking it slowly as he praised you over and over again.

“just one more…okay kitten?”

you nodded.

then his hands came to your thighs, caressing it gently as you took the final bite of your cake.

“the cake was lovely severus-”

but before you could utter one more word, you felt severus scoop you into his arms. he carried you to the bed you shared, placing you on the linen duvets with him right on top.

“oh y/n. my dear angel, my pretty princess…i’m not done with you yet.” severus almost growled, not a single contradiction left you as you felt his lips press onto yours passionately.

you couldn’t help but let yourself indulge into this kiss, a small smirk forming as you wrapped your arms around him, pulling him closer.

“you taste…so sweet.” he whispered into every kiss he pressed with you.

you perked up a small laugh, which was more than enough for him to press you down on the bed. his left hand firmly on your torso, moving his hand from one shoulder, then to your neck and the other shoulder.

while his right hand, caressed your lower body. he could feel how cold you were, but he knew that wouldn’t last long as his hand stroked your lower stomach and his lips firmly at your neck.

“such a good girl, aren’t you?” severus’ voice was nothing more than a whisper at your neck, he looked up to you. that nod.

no words.

his hands at your thighs, caressing it ever so softly was enough to get a breathless moan out of you.

“yes…yes i am severus.” you managed to say, as severus couldn’t help but pleasure you more with his hand at your waist.

“there’s a good girl, you are so beautiful. such a…beautiful…body, spoiling me rotten.” severus replied deeply.

before he could even begin to hold your hands, his own felt every part of your body; you let out a small whimper before he looked over to you, reading your expression.

he couldn’t make out what or rather how you were feeling, then it gave way as he could feel your thigh slowly trembling.

“relax my love…you’ll be fine.” severus reassured as he pressed a kiss to your forehead. you nodded, giving him a small smile before you let him continue to pleasure you at your will.

“you are so perfect. all of you is perfect, my little lamb.” he praised.

he had known that you were not ready for such a big leap, but you and him always knew that your first time will be something special and gentle.

that was another story for another time.

his hands were held against yours, he pressed kisses on the palms of your hand before he clenched your hands together and raised them over your head, locked in with yours.

“hold still love.” he whispered.

severus held onto your wrist, now locked in his grasp as he kissed your neck, slowly making his way to your neck and collar bone.

lust rushed into you like a waterfall, your desires fulfilled when he kissed your collarbone; small love marks slowly began to form on your neck and collarbone as his lips pressed gentle kisses on every part of your stomach and waist, then came to your thighs as he blissfully sucked to your skin.

the hand that locked your hands in place slowly let go as your hands grabbed on to his dress coat, slowly undoing the buttons.

the dress coat came off.

then the cravat.

and the white shirt underneath.

every button you held onto felt like a challenge and was an achievement worth earning.

now his torso was all you could see, you pulled him into a tender kiss as his hands roved all over your body, feeling it all up before settling around your middle.

your heart racing through your chest as each kiss got deeper and rougher than the last.

as you both pulled away, your eyes were gleaming. you could see it in severus also as a smile made your way to your face.

“that was perfect.” you whispered.

“it’s what the birthday girl ordered.” severus said.

you both laid down on the bed, his arms around you as he kissed the top of you head.

“you did so good kitten.” he said.

“i did?” you asked.

severus nodded, pulling you closer to him as his fingers made small circles around your waist and the side of your stomach.

“did you enjoy yourself, sweetheart?” he asked.

you couldn’t help but burst into a smile that warmed his heart.

“the best birthday ever. thank you, for everything.” you answered.

“happy birthday my love.” severus said. he kissed your forehead.

you couldn’t thank severus enough, he made everyday the best day ever but your birthday? he made you feel like his princess. perhaps just one day, you would return the favour back to him.

as you kissed your lover, you knew that this was the birthday you would never forget.

you were still at an absolute high and you didn’t want for it to end.

every kiss he placed over your body.

every time he caressed your body.

severus made you feel loved.

and in return…

he was loved.

until the end of time itself.
