#Ik there is so much questionable stuff that has gone down with them

[sapphicmuppet]

unresolved things still in my brain post fhjy finale

okay hihi this is not me trying to nitpick I just have a lot of unresolved thoughts!! okay here we go

Buckys arc:

I don’t have a ton of stuff to say just generally his arc being unresolved, being counted as a follower of Cassandra but that never being formally gone over, him still living with Mac and Donna, him skipping class, the drama with his adventuring party etc.

Bobby Dawn:

another self explanatory one, Sandra Lynn never finding out he was teaching at school, him escaping scot free, the drama in the sol pantheon, him never finding buddy etc. Just a lot of unanswered questions

Mazey Graduating:

for having a finale that has a lot of emphasis on the Fabian/Mazey relationship I wish they went over that Mazey IS a senior and graduated at the end of the year and is presumably going to college in the fall, and just the logistics of her being a college student still dating someone in highschool, just interesting having them get together when they’re already going in separate paths. I wish they went over it!! because now in my brain I have to justify it as a summer thing because they’re actively going to be doing other stuff the next school year.

Kipperlilly (and Jace):

okay so. Kipperlily was never rage starred or she willing took on the ragestar whatever I NEED TO KNOW MORE. Ik the point is that the ratgrinders suck and are inexperienced heroes but the realization that she essentially took all of The Ratgrinders down with her and gave them up to Porter, wasn’t being controlled by him in the way the rest of them were, had an even more direct hand in Lucy’s death, but also was still being manipulated by Porter for years?? I need it to get gone over. Also Kipperlily staying dead? to be clear it shouldn’t be The Bad Kids’ jobs to have to deal with the moral question on if the ratgrinders deserve being revived but there’s so much unsaid about Kipperlily and so much she didn’t get to do ugh. And in her final moments her absolute hatred towards Riz just being justified? In her eyes. Idk. Lots of thoughts. AND JACE!! Porter ADMITS to killing Jace himself and shatterstarring him and says he will do it again, but also Jace is clearly under Porter’s control to a degree and wasn’t revived too. I wish we knew more about him because as of what we know right now it seems crazy to keep him dead without questioning him and with him being Porters partner in this whole thing he could fully reveal everything Porter and The Ratgrinders had been doing the past three years.

Bakur:

idk just minor stuff with Bakur. He never regained his elf status which was interesting? We never saw the resolution of his fight with Lydia etc

Kalina:

Okay the acknowledgment in the finale that Kalina seems to genuinely have her own free will and moral compass outside of Cassandra is making me crazy because I just assumed she was tied to Cassandra so when she was good Kalina was too by default but there’s so much not cleared up about her. She DID lure Cassandra to the synod where she was weak and fostered the rage in Cassandra about Kristen’s treatment of her. She killed herself and was trying to communicate to Riz about Porter. Ankarna has NEVER trusted her. She had the spies tongue with Porter. She’s escaping with Buddy at the end. WHATS HAPPENING WHAT IS SHE DOING AGGHHHHH

heyy girl i think if u haven’t what abt u write a dbf miguel x reader ik i see so many but theyre so gd to read they get me so invested every time🤷🏽‍♀️

summary: you’ve just come home from college for christmas but there’s a stranger in your bedroom

a/n: dbf as in dads best friend or dad boy friend? 😭 i’d do either but for this i’ll do dads best friend bc… yh. also tysm for the request it means sm 😚😚😚 also I guess this is a fic now? Bc I kinda hate one shots bci can never cut down on lore and stuff.

❤️

You hadn’t realised how easily college had managed to seep its way into every aspect of your life, pulling you away from both your family and social life, until you came home for Christmas.

Everyone looks so different, your mum is more colourful and chirpy, your father is healthier and your brother is surprisingly mature. But what takes you most by surprise is the lack of silence that has taken them by storm. When you had come home for the summer most of your stay had been filled with an uncomfortable but unfortunately familiar silence following you around but now, you can’t shut them up.

The entirety of the drive home from the train station is full of chatter, and for once they include you. They seem so genuinely invested about you that you don't even question the randomness of their questions, ranging from the journey home and the local shops that surround your campus.

“I heard that there's one of those pretentious, hipster coffee places nearby,” your dad claims from the driver's seat, not bothering to look around at you.

“Vegan?” you offer dryly, unsure of it he knows you work there or not.

“That's it!” he clicks proudly, resulting in both you and your brother sharing a sigh.

Part of you hopes that it’s because of you; that maybe they realised how much they loved you while you were gone and now feel overjoyed at your return. There’s a feeling of doubt floating around in your mind, telling you that this is just a random occurrence, but you push it to the side, wanting to focus on the positive and unrealistic.

***

Your brother helps you lug your suitcase into the house claiming, ‘It’s the least I can do’ which is surreal coming from someone who hasn’t written to you the entirety of your time away. You hand him your antler clifton all the same, glad you didn't have to carry it across the drive as well as up the stairs.

The warmth from the house welcomes you in, the softness of the heated air a stark difference from the harsh bitterness from outside. The sweet smell of cinnamon and gingerbread candles lures you in so soothingly that you don't even notice the extra pair of shoes neatly paired together with the rest by the front door.

“I'll leave it here,” your brother mutters before sliding across the floorboards towards the living room on the heels of his feet- not as mature as you presumed. You smile half-heartedly with a small nod, jealous of how easily he can dismiss himself.

And suddenly you’re alone again, left to your own devices as your parents go start dinner and your brother now yelling into his mic from the living room. It hurts slightly, moments ago they were all over you, so invested in you and your life that you forgot what they're truly like. It's the way it always been and you're a fool for thinking otherwise.

You scold yourself for being so naive as to believe that they'd changed, that they weren't as self-absorbed as they used to be, before pulling yourself away from your sea of negative thoughts.

You stare at your suitcase, bright white light shining on it from the lamp hanging above your head, and decide to leave it there, too tired to carry it upstairs to your room.

The steps creak under your weight as you slouch up the stairs, one hand idly dragging across the chipped bannister. You can't count how many times your dad’s tried to repaint it, how much money he's spent on overpriced glosses and varnishes, how many hours he's spent sanding the thing down.

As you cross the landing, thick carpet dampening the sound of your steps, you the bathroom door left ajar and the soft heat emanating from it. Which is… weird because both your parents and your brother are downstairs. But you shrug it off, too fed up to care, and drag yourself over to your bedroom, head drooping downwards with fatigue.

Casually, you push your door open, expecting the room to be empty and your bed freshly made as it often is when you come home for the holidays. Except it isn't.

Soft jazz music hums throughout the room, playing from a speaker you can't quite place, and the smell of an intoxicatingly strong aftershave clings to the air. Your walls are still decorated with the wallpaper you had when you left but it's covered in various posters. Some are boring and presumably scientific based on the array of symbols, whereas others are insanely niche but you don't really put too much effort into trying to understand them- you're too distracted by the man standing in the middle of your room, half naked and dripping with water.

He's tall, intimidatingly so, but the soft dimples that form in his cheeks as he smiles down at you soothe your nerves- slightly.

“Hey,” he grins down at you, head now cocked to the side and pats his ear causing water droplets to drip onto your carpeted floor.

You blink at him, completely dumbstruck and unsure of what to do. “What the fuck?” you breathe shakily, palms clamming up as your brain desperately flickers between arousal and fear.

The man’s brow furrows at your anxious tone and his smile falters slightly. “I think I should be the one cursing here,” he jests, tone annoyingly light, “you’ve just walked into my room without knocking or anything.”

“You're room?” you scoff, arms folding across your chest. “You're the stranger here, not me.”

He grins at your attitude, those dimples presenting themselves again. “I’m offended, has it been that long since you've last seen me?” he questions, large hand splayed across his chest feigning offence.

You pause for a moment and let your gaze scan him for a moment. He looks familiar, dark slicked back hair and mahogany eyes that are simultaneously scrutinizing and sympathetic.

“A la mierda, querida, have you really forgotten me?” he teases.

And then it clicks. You feel so embarrassed now, for not recognising him. Miguel, your dad’s best friend who you haven't seen for years, is finally visiting again.

He does look different now, though. He's still tall and his face is as chiselled as ever, though there are creases in his skin from when he's smiled too often or squinted too hard at the sun, but he's bulked up a considerable amount. His biceps look bigger than your thighs, tensing and relaxing with every slight movement and shining with the shower water in the yellow light of the evening sun. In fact, his entire body is covered in muscles, and what you can see of his lower half is toned, covered in dark tufts of hair, yes, but the curvature of each muscle is still visible.

He clears his throat and you realise that you’ve been staring longer than intended, shame burning hot on your neck.

“Sorry,” you mutter, “about not recognising you.”

He shrugs off your apology, which irks you slightly but you push past it, and smile once again. “I look different, old age is catching up on me.”

That's definitely what's different.

Hello,

Heard you’re looking for ideas so…

Here’s a crack one: The Straw hats working in a department store

Would they become employee of the month? Would they be fired immediately?

a/n - IM WHEEZING AT THIS— you are GENIUS bro holy crap 😭🫶 dude luffy would get fired so fast it’s insane— and imma just add everyone bc why not 😂

Warnings ⚠️ - MAJOR crack, multiple characters, I’m kinda dumb and might’ve forgotten people

literally within the first few seconds of the interview they’re hired | “My name is—“ “Can you start within the next few seconds?”

.✩ jimbei, koby, sabo, koala, izou, kaku, vivi

got fired the same day they started

.✩ luffy (ate the entire produce section and then asked the manager “is there more stuff in the back?”), corazon (he accidentally burnt the place down 😀), sanji (confessed his love and asked several female customers to marry him at his cash register), brook (asked for some poor random woman’s underwear 💀)

employee of the month every single month

the manager of the store

they work solely in the back to avoid human interaction as much as possible

.✩ mihawk, law, smoker (he’s the guy that mans the big crane machine that moves huge boxes), hawkins, king, katakuri, smoker, lucci

they’re the CEOs of companies that are partners with the store and provide goods for the store to sell

i’m not an actual taejin shipper but this video popped up on my twitter feed and it did kinda get me thinking like what actually is the difference between the physical boundaries of tkk and all the other members. i remember when i had mostly consumed tkk content i thought these types of physical touches and lack of boundaries was exclusive to them but as time has gone on and ive watched videos of them with other members i don’t rlly see a difference. ik its more than just the physical affection that makes tkkrs believe but a lot of tkkrs emphasize the fact that they feel something is different and “more” between tkks skinship. but after watching this video it rlly makes me think there isnt rlly a difference bc taehyung is all over jin and has his hands all up on his thighs and stuff too, very similar to clips ive seen of tae w jungkook that i originally thought were unique to them.

You've answered your own question. It's not just physicality.

If you isolate the physical, then maybe there's no difference, right?

I'm posting this with caution knowing some jikooker will be cracking their knuckles to call it a gotcha but unlike them, I can't and won't bend reality. Here's Tae with his leg up on JK, touching JKs hair/ear whilst leaning against Jin.

Good example of Tae being a tactile guy and sitting very bisexually 😂 there is on camera evidence of him asking for and receiving kisses and bed snuggles from most of the Woogas, for example.

So sure. If you boil it down to simple ideas, the physicality has examples beyond JK*

But does that physicality come with shyness the way he can be with JK? Physicality with a history of romantic overtures in song sharing and little glances? Physicality with what looks very much like attraction? Physicality with To Find You playing in the background? Physicality with a company mandated pretence that they're barely even friends?

Considering the "lore" of Taekook, you can't separate physical from everything else. You need to look at it all.

👍

* I don't know if it's just me who feels this but I get this indefinable softness in his affection with JK that makes it feel different. It's almost chaste and so small as to feel unremarkable and second-nature. It's not an explosion, fleeting and bright and passing, but a constant little flame, steady and warm. That's how affection in relationships tends to be, right?

3rd anni req 11: [NIGHTBRINGER] belphie, lucifer / deep sleep

ao3 link

note: i've mostly been doing these in the order i remember getting them so far, but i might start skipping around, since they're quite lucifer-frontloaded (not that i'm complaining). anyway - this is based on nb lesson 12, where mc's in that curse-coma, but! the twist is that ik can somehow still speak through it. since, y'know, special reaper curse

∎ ∎ ∎ ∎ ∎

“...oh, you’re here.”

Lucifer doesn’t look up as Belphie slips into the room. He stays there, sitting in a chair he’s dragged from the dining room, half-hunched over, with his forearms on his knees. Belphie gets the distinct feeling that his oldest brother hasn’t slept in the last forty-eight hours.

He glances over at the wan face of the room’s only other occupant. “...still not up?”

“Solomon said not to expect it to happen soon,” Lucifer says blankly. “We don’t know the exact nature of the curse. By all means, it should have been fatal.”

They both look at IK’s blank face. The light flickers in a way that, for a moment, makes her look as if she’s blinking awake - though Belphie doesn’t dare hope.

“Weird kid,” He mumbles, more to her than Lucifer. “You can’t do magic, but you can survive reaper curses? If you can do that, why didn’t you…”

'Why didn’t you stop us from trying to hurt you?' is what he means, but he can’t finish the question. Lucifer looks as if he knows what he was going to say, anyway.

“So where’s Solomon gone, then?” He asks after a beat, frowning. “All that talk, and he’s not even staying to look after her?”

“He said he’d look for solutions in the tomes at the cave. And that he was leaving IK in charge.”

Yeah, that’s right.

“As if h— huh?”

They both whip around. IK hasn’t moved.

Belphie glances quickly at Lucifer. “Did you hear—?”

“Yes.” His response is short and harried. “What was that?”

They both fall silent for a moment, listening hard. Nothing.

“Maybe we’re just hearing things,” Belphie says reluctantly, though he’d swear it to anyone that he just heard IK speaking, loud and clear.

“Do you think that’s likely?” Lucifer stands up, staring around the room like a sentinel, a dangerous shadow falling over his face. “It could be any manner of mimicry. If something’s gotten in—”

Wait, did you hear me?

Lucifer goes dead silent. There's no mistaking that voice - but there’s also no mistaking the fact that the speaker has not moved an inch.

After a moment, Belphie tries, “IK?”

You did! She sounds downright joyful - the words don’t quite ring like speech does in a room, but the voice in their heads is clear as day. I was so BORED.

“You can talk?” He asks, bewildered. “Wait, you’re— can’t you open your eyes?”

No. Do you think I haven’t tried? Now she sounds aggravated. I’ve been awake this whole time. I just can’t bloody move.

“Watch your language,” He says automatically.

Don’t start. I’m losing my mind here. But you can actually hear me now!

“Yes, you’ve said that already.” Lucifer sits down again, leaning forward, practically on the edge of his seat. “How much do you remember?”

Hmm. I remember you both trying to kill me.

A pause. Then Lucifer asks, voice suddenly about half as loud, “What is your situation, then?”

There’s a sort of buzz, as if IK is laughing. Not much going on. It’s like sitting in a dark room. I can hear things coming from outside, but I can’t see anything. It sucks.

Say, if you were a shark, what kind would you be?

“What?”

I think you’d be a nurse shark, Belphie, because they’re usually chill, except when they aren’t. And Lucifer would be… a blue shark, because that’s his favourite colour.

They exchange mildly bemused looks. After a moment, Lucifer says slowly, “How do you know that? I’ve never told you.”

…uh… Belphie gets the distinct feeling that IK is panicking. ...context clues. You know, clothes and stuff.

“You’ve only seen him wearing red,” He says a little suspiciously.

And what’s the opposite of red? Blue. Next question.

It’s no use trying to pry. Every time this happens - every time Belphie gets the unnerving feeling that their attendant knows them better than they even know themselves - he tries to figure out why, and IK deflects. The dedication would be impressive if it wasn’t annoying.

Who is this kid? She shows up, completely out cold, and hasn’t even been awake for an hour by the time she’s been put in charge of the Devildom’s newly-minted residents. Then Solomon, of all people, that sorcerer whose reputation long precedes him, shows up calling her his ward, even though she’s got no magic to speak of.

Though Belphie doesn’t know what else to call her knack for making them… talk. She takes to the Devildom like a duck to water - practically skips through it all while they’re still mired in their own rotten souls. They should’ve been insulted that Diavolo would think this ridiculous little thing capable of handling the seven of them, but IK does it like it’s second nature.

That’s the frustrating part. They’ll tell her near-everything, and IK tells them absolutely nothing. And it isn’t that they’re stupid, or blind, or so self-absorbed that they don’t notice when she goes quiet - when she stares off at something that isn’t there, eyes filled with some inexplicable loneliness that should be far beyond her years.

Is Satan around? IK asks. He was in here, reading, before. He couldn’t hear me then, but maybe he will now.

“Um… he went out.” Belphie sits down on the foot of the bed. “Hey. I’m… not angry with you anymore.”

Wow. Do you want an award?

“No, I—” He swallows. His tail flicks up behind him, and he seizes it for comfort before he can stop himself. “—I’m sorry. That’s what I meant.”

Oh.

Okay.

He waits for a moment. There’s no other response. He looks at Lucifer.

His brother’s face is twisted into something that might resemble remorse. The ironic part is that Ik would probably know better than he does, if only she could open her eyes to see.

“We’re doing what we can,” is all Lucifer says after a while. “You will be alright. I can promise you that.”

That’s a relief, she says, a touch ironically. So am I just stuck like this until Solomon figures something out?

Lucifer’s jaw tightens. “...I don’t know. All we can do is wait.”

Great. I’ll get right on that.

Belphie scoffs. “I don’t know how you’re making jokes right now. You could’ve died. You still might now.”

Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that, says IK dryly. I know what being dead feels like. This isn't anything like it.

“What? What’s that supposed to mean?”

No answer. Belphie shoots an apprehensive look at Lucifer, then leans forward. “Hey. I’m talking to you.”

Silence. He doesn’t know if IK’s refusing to speak, or if the connection has broken already. He makes as if to stand up, to go find Barbatos, or Diavolo, or anyone who might know how to repair it. He can't lose it now.

He’s poured his heart out to her once before, then hadn’t even waited a day to turn on her. He doesn’t know what, but he has to do something about it, right?

But, before he can, Lucifer takes a deep breath, then abruptly stands up.

“...I have to go,” He mutters.

That, at least, gets IK to speak up again - Belphie feels a rather distracted spark of relief. Where are you going?

“Out,” He replies sharply, then pauses, and sighs. “...I need to clear my head. You’re… incomprehensible.”

That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.

…hey. You’ll come back and talk to me, right? It’s really boring in here.

“Is that what you want?” He asks, softer.

It’d be nice.

Lucifer looks at IK for a moment, then leans down. Belphie doesn’t quite see what he does, but when he straightens up again, the blankest are tucked in more snugly, and IK’s hair looks a little neater than it did before.

“Then I will,” Lucifer tells her, and steps back. With one last, lingering glance, he turns on his heel, and walks out.

…

…Belphie, are you still there?

“Yeah,” He says quietly, and decides to take Lucifer’s seat. “Are you okay?”

Not the best I’ve been. Not the best week I’ve had, either.

He wishes he had some water. “That’s our fault, isn’t it?”

Sorry.

“Don’t— what are you saying sorry for? You always—” He stops himself before he can finish. “—you’re so weird.”

A pause. Then, That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.

“Stop it. Just…” He drags a hand through his hair and catches a finger on his left horn. “...just let me feel bad, will you?”

…fine.

He takes a breath. “...Beel’s okay, by the way. I don’t know if you’ve heard him.”

I did. I’m really glad.

“He’s worried. We all are. Look, I—”

Don’t bother, IK interrupts. …I get it, I mean. You don’t have to explain it to me.

“I really don’t get you,” He mumbles.

Another laughing sound. I get that a lot.

“Aren’t you scared? Aren’t you angry?”

Not angry. Scared… maybe.

Doesn’t matter, though. It’ll be fine. It has to be. I have to get…

Silence for a while. He doesn't quite dare to ask - have to get... what? What is it that she's so determined to hold on for?

…hey. If you wanted to, say, make it up to me… could you hold my hand?

He blinks. “Will you be able to feel it?”

I don’t know. But it’d be a nice thought.

“...okay. Sure, I can do that.”

Belphie drags the chair closer, untucks a corner of the blanket, and closes his fingers around a cold little hand. IK's voice murmurs a quiet thank you.

If he really squints, he can fool himself into seeing a tiny smile on her face.

"You'd better wake up soon."

[burnyouwithacigarettelighter]

Omg I’m so happy you replied!! I definitely have more questions.

1. What Cillian character do you like writing about the most and why?

2. What story from your master list are you most proud of?

3. Do you personally have any fic recommendations/ must reads? Other sites included.

4. What gets you inspired to write? Following that question have you ever abandoned a fic?

5. What do you think made you a better writer? If you have any doubts about your work, how do you get past it enough to continue?

6. Is there a Cillian character that you just don’t like, or aren’t interested in watching/ writing about? (Sorry if that’s a loaded question)

omg thank u so much for this!!! i srsly love interacting w u guys, tysm for the thought provoking questions😄🙌

i think i like writing most about robert fischer:) ik it probably doesnt translate considering ive written most for jonathan crane but robert fischer is just such a little sweetheart to me,,, and can go both ways in being a sassy dom douchebag or being a sobbing daddy issues sub darling LOLLL i just think he has a lot of duality to delve into and develop (which ive definitely not done so far☠️) and it helps that his characterization in inception was also very surface level— i have a lot of wiggle room y’know??

i think im most proud of “dine & dash” which im aware probably no-one has read, but getting chris o’doyle’s sassy little dialogue down was like taming a wild beast,,, otherwise, considering my more well-known work, i rly liked writing “honey, i’m home”. i go crazy for the unhinged readers (if u couldnt alrdy tell lmaooo) and seeing jackson get messed with like that was a real treat.

i seriously just recommend anything by @mypoisonedvine,,, they’re literally genius & are the reason i started writing for cillian:)!! other mentions include kitten fics by @pictureinme and, a personal fave, @floralcyanidee’s jackson rippner mile-high club fic!!! these writers are all incredibly talented and im just blown away at their work every single time🫶

my thirst is such a big motivator for writing LMAO😭i wrote “guinea pig” ‘cus i wanted to absolute wreckkk jonathan crane and have him be a sub, and i got a 6.8k words long fic out of said thirst! music & book quotes motivate me a lot too— i spend sm time digging thru my pinterest for a good quote for the beginning of my fic its actually insane☠️and yes,,, im ashamed to say ive abandoned fics numerous times,,, but thats because they were series’, not oneshots. i get bored of series’ pretty quickly, ‘cause i feel kind of trapped by the initial dynamic or mood set in the first chapter. with oneshots, its like writing one long chapter of this trope and this kink or whatever and then its done, and i dont have to exhaust myself going back to tropes or kinks or storylines ive already done.

i think reading made me a better writer. expanding my vocabulary through the words of others was a biggie; seeing something be described in a certain way in someones story had me thinking of out-of-the-box ways to describe another thing (that doesn’t make much sense but lets pretend it does😭). i have many, many doubts about my work, like constantly, but i usually just suck it up. i sound like an attention whore but seeing the reposts & comments & tags on my other work reminds me people like what i’ve written before and certain people will enjoy what ive written now, so i should just finish my work for them. i also take like 100 years rereading my stuff until i think its good enough lmao,,,

ive kinda watched his whole roster of films (atleast ones i could actually find on the internet and not gone missing as a lost piece of media lmao) and i could probably write for any cillian character given i had a good idea and proper motivation. writing for certain characters is definitely harder for me to do though, so its likely i wont write for them/will take a long time to do so. an example is lenny miller— anna was such an insufferable movie to me, and lenny’s screentime wasn’t long at all, atleast not long enough for me to properly grasp his character. he just felt like a horny hardass fbi goof the whole time i could not take his 5’7 ass seriously😭cillian is smexy as hell in anna tho, so we’ll see😈another would probably be robert capa from sunshine,,, hes beautiful and deliciously musty in that but the whole spaceship setting kinda freaks me out (considering i know 0 zilch nada about space, spaceships, or anything of the sort, so it’d definitely be inaccurate). an au with him id definitely do, though! (with that hair of his my mind is already forming a 90s band au, guitarist!capa x singer!reader story…)

again thank u so much for these questions!! i feel like i rarely get to chat to u guys so this was well appreciated😄🫶thank you so much for reading, for sending these questions in, and for being an overall sweetheart, anon!

[wizardfrog69]

Hi ik you basically said your request thing is closed so you can answer this when its open:

Sigma x gn!reader

Fluff/angst

Cw! Abandonment issues, trauma which causes Abandonment issues (not so specific just people leaving and stuff),

If this subject is triggering in anyway please do not read, your mental wellbeing is more important

Enjoy!

Sigma was somewhat aware of your past but you never let him fully in, in fear of scaring him away, in fear you were too much, in fear he didn't want to be with someone who has a heavy past, in fear of losing him.

There were times you would distance yourself from him so the pain of losing him would be less heart breaking but seeing Sigma worry was even worse, but nothing could be worse when he didn't notice, but you didn't want him to notice, you wanted to be with him but you were afraid, afraid he would leave you, afraid he would stop loving you and he won't even notice that's when you tried to be as close to him as possible, but was it too close? Does he think you're too clingy? What if you were too much for him, what if you were too little, what does he want, what does he need, does he need you? Does he think you're useless? Is he only pretending he loves you? Is he only with you yo keep you happy or is it all an act?

Sigma noticed you were acting distant which worried him, were you okay? Were you in pain? Did you need something? Sigma never knew what was going in your head and thought you needed space. But something was off today, you were nowhere to be seen, Sigma was really worried at this point and wanted to check up on you if you were okay.

He found you in your room hugging a pillow soaked in tears, sobbing into the pillow hoping no one would hear you, you didn't realise however that someone did realise, was it the person whom you wanted to see and whom you wanted to hold or was it the person you want to stay away, whom you feared of pushing so far away he feel of the face of the earth, or was it a stranger someone you didn't mind being around but didn't necessarily want around either, someone you didn't want to know and someone who didn't know you. No one could answer those questions, they were all the same person yet it felt as if they were all different, you wanted all of them and yet you didn't want any of them at the same time.

You felt the man sit next to you and a hand was placed on your back, knowing who it was your sobs only got louder, you couldn't bare to be with him, you couldn't bare to loose him, no you could loose anyone anymore it would have been too much for you, all of those other people left and never even wanted to look back or say why, they didn't say why they all just started ignoring you, they didn't say why they ignored your calls even when you just wanted to say hi, they didn't say why they all left without a word. You didn't want Sigma to do the same, you didn't want to loose him too, you didn't want to wake up one day and find him to be gone.

"What's wrong?" His sweet voice broke your heart even more, you couldn't bare to look at him but you somehow did. "Promise you won't leave." You chocked out while tears were streaming down your face, but you were to broken to care, nothing you shatter your heart if you heart was already shattered into a million pieces, yet nothing could stick it back together there just too many pieces to be brought back together.

"I promise, I'll never leave, I'll stay with you forever no matter what happens, I'll be hear with you till the day we die." Sigma tried smiling to reassure you of his love. He held out his hands for you to hug him and so you did, you were crying into his shoulders holding onto him, making sure he'll never disappear without a word. "Do you really love me?" Sigma was shocked by your question, he never thought you would doubt his but he answered nonetheless "yes, I love you with all my heart, everything is going to be okay my love." His sentence was finished with a kiss upon your head.

You didn't know what to think nor believe at this point but all you wanted to do was to stay with him forever hoping he won't leave you no matter what happens to you, his love was the only thing you needed at the moment and the only things you wanted.

it's the fact that seven wouldn't have existed to be released in july if jimin hadn't gotten that #1 that's crazy. who knows if they would have called jk to get him off his couch if that didn't happen as he didn't even have any plans to release music and they were fine with that until jimin.

It was definitely going to happen. I just think that like crazy only fastened the process, because Jimin unexpectedly got ahead of them and started ticking off a lot of boxes that would make a release be deemed as "successful".

I don't believe for one secod that thing bangpd said about how it happened because Jungkook couldn't write an album. It was going to happen anyways. If he had written anything, it would've happened with the album he'd written. There would've still been songs like seven, but also his own songs.

Two weeks ago or something, there was an article about people discussing what would happen if a member got hot 100 #1 and if it would be the case, like in most groups, of that member's success causing the group's disbandment. Most people assumed that those discussions happened in hybe, I thought that as well at first. Then, I realized it was stuff that strangers to hybe thought; industry people. The article didn't say that hybe had had those discussions, it just said that some people had speculated about that possible scenario.

So, that article wasn't hybe; it was others. Hybe's plan all along has been to do what they did with Jungkook. It just happened earlier because Jimin got there first, much to their demise. It wasn't about them trying to level the playing field and make Jungkook a hot 100 #1 singer like Jimin was in a way to say "there's no successful member in BTS, they'll always be a group"; because everyone could see how different their circumstances were. If the point was leveling the field, they wouldn't have gone the extra mile for Jungkook; or they would've gone it for Jimin as well.

I wrote this in August 2022 lmao, more than a year ago and everything I said would happen, happened.

You could see the smoke as far back as 2021, the mediaplay has been going on for years. Telling FIFA that the members had enlisted and sending him alone when EVERYONE was available to perform as a group, it doesn't get any clearer than that. Putting ONLY his songs on BTS spotify profile, it doesn't get clearer than that. They tried it with seven, too. They put it under BTS name, but his solos complained and it was taken out.

Hybe didn't care if a member was the standout because that's been their plan all along. It just wasn't Jimin and he ruined it a little (a lot) for them. And they had to shut that down quickly.

Now, it begs the question why did hybe want a standout member in the first place, if the group allegedly still exists. To cover the losses they might face during the group's enlistment, okay, that's one way to put it. But wouldn't they have made money anyway without everything they did for Jungkook? They barely spent anything on FACE and Jimin singlehandedly raise their value 15% in one single day. I don't think people realize how much they earned with Jimin, barely moving a finger. Wouldn't it have been a much smarter move to put less money into Jungkook, too, because he would've still earned it back like Jimin did - if Jungkook is allegedly so popular and demanded on his own?

Nonetheless, there was extra intent, extra effort, extra money -so much extra money- put into him that it really makes you wonder why hybe would even want a standout member if the group is "coming back". The industry was worried that one of them might be successful and the group would disband - so instead of hybe saying "no, actually, none of them would ever be as good as the group" hybe said "yes, this one specifically is as good as the group." Why?

(That's a rethorical question for me, because I know groups don't last forever, especially kpop groups; hybe knows that better than me or anyone. But for the sake of argumentation, ignore this and let's pretend there's no answer).

If the goal was to show how amazing and useful and powerful hybe America is, wouldn't six extremely successful soloists show that better than just one? But they didn't even try with the rest. Not even with the one who was literally, at that same moment, proving to be the success story they were looking for.

If seven was a spur of the moment thing after like crazy, they could've instead just pushed like crazy, that had already taken off; but they didn't. There was time and there were opportunities for them to hit the pedal and give it tools for longevity and even more success; but they didnt. That's one of the reasons why I think it was going to happen with Jungkook one way or the other, simply because they wanted it to be him.

And like... What was the point? To have a "pop star" whose career only lasted six months? Because I don't think so.

So which one will be suriving for the long haul? The group or the soloists? If the purpose is to do both like it happens a lot in kpop, there's not going to be nearly enough of any of the two.

[gayness-and-mayhem]

I absolutely loved Holby tonight, the Henruss, the Berena, although there's too much going on in my head to articulate exactly what and how much rn. The thing at the forefront of my thoughts though is that I just wish I could tell 14 year old me how the Berena storyline was gonna end bc I was so invested in it and it meant (and still very much means) so much to me and I just think that younger still terrified me would have appreciated knowing it wasn't all for nothing lol.

HI LUVV I SAW THAT UR ACCEPTING REQUESTS RN AND I HOPE MY REQUEST IS ALLOWED <333

I've recently gone to a fancy buffet and of course, ate alot 💀ALL OF THE FOOD WERE LITERALLY BANGERS I WISH I COULDVE BEEN LUFFY AND SHOVE IT ALL IN MY MOUTH. Anyways I was wondering how ace, law, and shanks would act if they went to one with a gender neutral/fem!reader who eats alot and then suddenly gets a headache cuz they didn't get sleep alot recently but still continued to try eat more food 💀 (stupid ik and it's RLLLLLYYY descriptive but I hope it's fine 4 u!!!)

Feel free to ignore and/or remove atleast one of the characters if 3 is too many!!! Kisses 💋 xx

“foodie”

⠀⠀ੈ♡˳· how would ace, law, shanks, nami act if they went on a buffet with their s/o who eats a lot and suddenly got a headache from lack of sleep.

⠀⠀➧ fluff | ace, law, shanks, nami (separate) × gn!s/o!reader | headcanons + scenario

⠀⠀➧ warnings — none! mistakes may be present too, so do ignore them, thanks!

⠀⠀➧ requests are closed until further notice! but i do take requests here and there, though it'll take me some time to finish 'em..!

⠀⠀꒰ 🍨 ꒱ notes: HELLO BAE, I'M SO JELLY OF U, I WANNA GO OUT TO EAT FANCY FOOD TOO ‼️‼️🥹 btw i hope this satisfies you~ 🫶

PORTGAS D. ACE

ace is a foodie too, so expect him to be eating every food in sight.

competes with you in eating, lmao.

but when your headache kicks in, ace pauses and checks if you're all good.

“i'm all good, ace, just got a headache from not getting enough sleep—anyway, let's continue to eat, yeah?” stuffing your face with food once again, ace tugs his lips down to a frown, stopping you from eating.

“you should sleep first, then eat after sleeping, but if possible... sleep while eating—zzzz...” he advised, face plopping down to the dish in front of him, sleeping, though his hand remains awake, taking food to his mouth, still eating...

will eventually wake up and look at you with a sheepish smile, asking you if you had rested.

will also urge you to sleep or rest if you didn't, still lets you eat all you can though.

TRAFALGAR LAW

law doesn't really eat much, and sleep much too.

so he'd spend his time just watching you stuff your cheeks full with food.

was quick to notice that you were off because of your headache.

“y/n-ya, is there something wrong?” law asks, eyes squinted at you who stopped eating for a moment, frowning as you chewed on your food. “..yeah, i got a headache. didn't sleep much last night, but i'm fine.”

“you—sigh. stop eating first and rest yourself until your headache is gone. i got ibuprofen here to help with that headache, so drink up.” giving you the medicine, law then made you take it, making you rest before letting you bounce back to eat.

definitely has over-the-counter meds for headache since he experiences them too from lack of sleep.

didn't let you eat until you had rested well, being the doctor he is.

SHANKS

party animal who prefers getting drunk with the alcoholic drinks rather than eating.

you eat up, he drinks up, all lively as he does.

though when your headache hammers you up...

“ah, darlin', what's wrong? does your stomach hurt from all that food or somethin'?” shanks asked, noticing that you had slowed your pace on eating, only shaking your head no to his question, leaving a dry response of, “no, headache.”

“eeehhh!? headache? oh no, that's not good! how about drinkin' up, mhm? i'm pretty sure you'll be good after drinkin' up! haha!” the red head laughs, offering you a drink as a joke, before scooting closer to you, taking your head and leaning it on his shoulder. “just kidding, here, rest on my shoulder and sleep as long as ya want. do you still want to drink though?”

yep, he offered you alcoholic drinks, to help you sleep, he says.

also sneaked a small romantic act, being the dork he is.

NAMI

mostly chats with you as she eats.

also finds it cute and funny on how you eat so much, reminding her of her dork of a captain.

but when your head starts aching—

“uggghh, nami, my head hurts..!” you whined, still having the time to eat despite the painful aching of your head, causing the woman with you to irk, eye twitching.

“if your head hurts, then sleep or rest up, and not continue to eat, damn it! do you want that pain to worsen or something!? #$-$&_+"('$—!!!”

scolds you for that, hahahaha. though despite keeping up the angry demeanor, nami is concerned for you, ofc.

forces you to rest up, dragging you to your room and getting you to sleep, watching over you and making sure that you do what she said.

[shinobusupremecy]

hello!! I really like your headcanons/oneshots and how your whole account is just dedicated to her lol

um so question: I don't know if I missed anything (and I apologize if I did) but are you comfortable with writing shinobu x reader with medical conditions? and do you write shinobu x reader x ___ ?

ok ok so now to the actual request sorry- (this is not a douma x reader x shinobu)

so gn!reader was kinda adopted by douma? (ik it’s kinda ooc but yk-) and he just took them in because… why not? it’d be amusing having a tiny child run around his temple and face playing every now and then. so reader considers douma as their guardian and was able to go outside n stuff (that included sword fighting) And then he *+. m a g i c a l l y .+* started to have feelings? like he genuinely cared for the little shit that would steal his bean bag chair thingy? huh??? so then douma now has some emotions and yk he starts to kinda feel bad for eating all of those women and realized how much of an asshole he was and he’s like “I was so fucked up god damn”

yeah so now the reader is older and explores more out in the world and eventually leaves but would come visit every now and then. they quickly become a hash it’s due to all of that sword fighting practice stuff. now, you can choose if the reader knows that douma is a demon or not.

(Reader doesn’t know) eventually, shinobu and reader start dating and yk then there’s that arc. when the reader is going with them and is like “lol y are we at my guardian’s place? did someone get attacked while I was gone?” only to find out that fucking douma was a demon and has been eating the followers behind their back. they start like breaking down because imagine if your loving mom or dad was a cannibal or sum? so yeah reader tries to defend douma n stuff.

(Reader does know) As much as they respect the demon slayers n stuff.. they just can’t bring themself to tell them. They loved douma, he’s the one who’s been taking care of them ever since they were a toddler! He took such good care of them and genuinely loved them back too. They couldn’t do that to him.

Maybe even if it meant betraying their s/o.

In the end for both of them, reader has to choose whether to save douma or shinobu… (or, maybe reader gets heavily wounded in battle and douma hurriedly rushes in to save their adopted child with genuine fear and panic in his eyes?) and that’s for you to choose what to write! (or if you’re writing both endings, that could work too!)

I just wanna know how shinobu would act if her s/o’s guardian was the murderer of her sister? how douma actually cared about them and even would let their guard down to protect them? how hurt she would feel if they decided to side with douma and fight along them? or when she realizes that douma wasn’t just this evil demon, but a loving guardian to her beloved s/o who was raised with so much empathy and love?

ok sorry for the grammar mistakes and everything my phone is legit on one percent help—

Word count: 3808

Warnings: Manga spoilers

A/N: I don't have any rules that says I don’t write Shinobu x reader x __ so I can write this. This is a very interesting request, I like it a lot! Sorry if this got messy or cringe heh. 

There are some things that I can’t write so deep about since otherwise this would be way to long and I don’t wanna bore you guys.

It depends on what medical conditions too, I haven’t decided that rule yet.

It was another boring evening for the leader of the cult Douma. 

“Oh man nothing to do. No pretty women to eat” Douma sighed out. Suddenly he heard the sound of a baby crying. He knew that sound too well. Sometimes woman with babies come to his cult to seek for help. He followed the sound and saw a baby hidden in the bush crying. He touched your cheek and slightly pinched them causing you to cry. 

“Hm not fat enough. It won’t satisfy my hunger” He rose to his full height fanning himself even though the air was chilly. 

“Ah well I guess I’ll just eat you when you grow older or something” He scooped you up and carried you. Since the women he took in often wanted him to hold their baby so he got used to holding babies. He walked back to his home and opened the door. 

One of the servants came forward to him. 

“L-lord Douma you’re home!” The servant came and bowed to Douma. 

“Why do you have a baby with you?” The servant asked. 

“This man likes to ask a lot of questions” Douma thought very annoyed.

“Oh I just find them in the forest” The servant nodded. “Can’t leave a defenseless baby in the forest am I right? I mean that’s the time where the demons lurk around” The servant nodded again. 

“I’ll just take care of this baby myself. You go to sleep” Douma went into his room to set you down. You were sleeping and Douma thought you were a bit adorable. 

“Hm I guess I’ll keep you for now” Douma sighed out a bit continuing to fan himself. 

“I could probably use something to eat” He grabbed a arm from a women he hunted down yesterday. 

“Hmm it’s a shame I had to kill you. You were a very kind woman” He chowed down spilling blood everywhere. You woke up from all the chewing sounds Douma made and saw him eating. 

“Oh yeah you’re still here” Douma slapped himself for forgetting that a literal baby was in the same room. 

For some reason seeing him covered in blood of his victims and holding a literal arm did not faze you. He walked towards you and reached out the arm. You were laughing and grabbing it’s finger. 

His eyes widen a bit. Along with that something inside of him felt strange. It was like a bubbly feeling. He didn’t even know what it was, but whatever it was it felt good. He felt like he was floating, like all bad things just disappeared. He smiled at you but suddenly the door opened. It was that servant that greeted him when he came in with you. 

His eyes widen and before he could even scream Douma came behind him and cut off his head. 

“You disturbed my peaceful moments with this child” Blood spilled everywhere leaving a disgusting mess and the smell of iron was almost unbearable but you still seemed unbothered. 

“Oh yeah I keep forgetting you’re here” Douma laughs a bit while covering himself with his fan so only his eyes were showing. 

“Well I don’t like to eat men so much but the body parts of the women begins to loose their taste so this’ll do” And once again he chowed down and ate. 

You just looked at him and he took the head of the servant, a fearfull expression still plastered on his face. He brought the face right in front of you but you only laughed. 

“Hm? There is this weird thing mothers do with their child. What’s it called?” Douma made a thoughtful expression. “Oh yeah peek-a-boo” So that’s what he did with the decapitated head. 

“Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo!” You only laughed and laughed. That same feeling came back to Douma. That same bubbly feeling. 

“Hm I guess you aren’t so bad” 

Timeskip 4 years (You’re 4) 

“Ahhh ha!” You exclaimed as you grabbed Douma’s hat and ran around with it. 

“Oh so naughty. Come back here!” Douma shouted. 

“Noooo!” You shouted and ran past a servant making the poor women almost drop her plates. 

“Sorry about that!” Douma yelled at the servant.

“O-oh no it’s okay Lord Douma!” Douma replied to her by a closed eyed smile. 

You ran back to Douma and tackled him even if he was sitting. He didn’t move a bit. 

“Hyyyyyah!” You tried to push him but he didn’t move a bit. 

“Alright alright take it easy!” He said and held your head so you couldn’t reach him. 

“You need to be careful! When you ran you almost made that woman drop her plates” You stopped and felt bad. 

“Where is she?” 

“Down the hall” You nodded and ran after her. 

“HELLO! I WANNA  APOLOGIZE FOR ALMOST MAKING YOU DROP YOUR PLATES!” Douma laughed at how loud you were.

 “Oh no it’s okay! But please be a little more quiet” and again you aplogized loudly. 

“Heh that child” Douma really liked having you around. You made him happy, he learned that from Akaza. 

-

“Hello Akazaaaa!” Douma called after Akaza. His face immidietly changed to a pissed expression, it looked like he was gonna murder someone. 

“How are you doing? My good friend?” Douma said as he wrapped his arm around Akaza. 

“Get your filthy...” Akaza began to mumble. 

“Huh? I didn’t hear you” Douma said with a teasing voice. 

“I said get you’re filthy hands off me!” Akaza yelled each word becoming higher and more aggressive. He turned and sliced Douma’s head in half. 

Douma healed up again. 

“My my you seem more moody than usual, Akaza! Have something happened?” Akaza sighed out very frustrated. 

“Oi Douma!” Douma turned to the owner of the voice and there was Guytaro and Daki. 

“I asked the same thing and he almost sliced my head off. I don’t know why he’s so mad man” Douma only waved back and gave him a closed eyed smile. 

“Anyways I wanted to ask you Akaza!” Douma cheered and Akaza stayed silent. 

“I keep getting this weird bubbly feeling around that little baby I took in” Daki perked up at this. 

“Oh that brat? You keep talking about that little thing. I wanna meet the thing” Guytaro rolled his tired eyes but Daki seemed to miss that. 

“What feeling is that Akaza? Please answer me? Please please please!” Douma began to sound like a whiny baby. 

“It’s called happiness you waste of air!” Akaza yelled and cut off Douma’s face again. 

“Okay okay you can stop slicing my head off now. You getting my blood splattered everywhere. Akaza didn’t respond. 

“Ah well thanks for the help Akaza!” 

-

Timeskip (14 years you’re 18)

Time flew past so fast. Well it was only natural for Douma since he has lived for over 200 years but still. Under those 18 years a lot of things happened. 

Douma has stopped eating women sine you made him realize how disgusting it was. More or less you threatened him. You’re now a hashira since you have killed over 50 demons as a kinoe. You passed the final selection when you were 14 and it took 4 years until you became a hashira. So you said that you would rat Douma out if he didn’t stop eating women. You were sick of the disgusting smell he left in his secret room and the sight almost made you near to vomit. 

As much as you loved Douma for taking you in you really hated his habit. As much as Douma hated to quit eating women he did it for you. He grew attached to you, very attached. When you were gonna leave him he became very sad. Even cried. He cried so much it was even funny, you giggled everytime you thought about it, earning weird looks from your fellow hashira friends. You obviously visited Douma from time to time but never bringed anyone along you. 

Most of the hashira liked you. Sanemi didn’t pay much attention to you. Obani threatened you to never hurt Mitsuri but he calmed down after you got together with Shinobu. Kyojuro likes you, thinks you have great potential. Giyu likes you mostly because you don’t join in on Shinobu’s bullying habits and Tengen thought you had drip. Muichiro thought you were a kind person, he felt kinda warm inside after you spoke with him. Gyomei prays for your safety because you were reckless. 

Mitsuri LOVES you! She loves how you’re always so kind and has never judged her for being her. She trust you enough to share her problems with you like with Shinobu. You and Shinobu clicked. It was like you two were meant each other. You two understood each other, you two were great at teamworking against demons which lead to the Master pairing you two in missions way more often. It came to a point were both of you developed romantic feelings for each other. You were more bold so you were the one that planned to confess to her but sadly you’re confession was not so romantic since you confessed on accident. 

-

You two were just walking around the butterfly estate just talking with each other. 

While Shinobu was talking and even giggling you ended up just staring at her. 

“Hm? You okay? You seem a bit out of it” You snapped out of your daze and smiled at her

“Yes I’m fine. Just admiring how beautiful you are” Shinobu giggled.

“Aww thanks” Shinobu smiled. 

“And that’s also why I like you!” A awkward moment feel in right then and there.

“Y-you what?” You realized what you said.

“U-uh well I” You were to embarrassed beginning to sweat and your face becoming as red as a tomato. You tried to run away but Shinobu pinned you to the wall. 

“I’m glad you feel the same!” She kissed you on the lips passionately before breaking the kiss. You were a flustered mess. 

“Oh gosh we really did that” Shinobu only booped your nose. 

“We sure did” She smiled and skipped away. You being in a daze didn’t notice she left you until she was at the end of the hall.

“Wow hold on wait!”

-

But things became a bit hard for you when Shinobu told you about her sister and that it was Douma that killed her. 

“O-oh” You said and Shinobu nodded tears running down her face. Shinobu couldn’t hold it in anymore and she cried while hugging you. You tried your best to reassure her but you fell horrible knowing you’re guardian was the one that took Kanae who Shinobu held so dear away from her. But Shinobu cried so much that she missed the horrified expression you had and that lead to her yet not finding about you and Douma. 

Whenever the hasira talk about the uppermoon you shared information but never about Douma. You just couldn’t do that to the man that took care of you with love and care all those years. 

-

But then came the long painful night that you would never forget. You were talking with the triplets. Laughing and listening what they had to say. Suddenly Shinobu bursted into the room looking incredibly distressed. 

“EMERGENCY! UBYASHIKI IS GETTING ATTACKED!” Not another word you grabbed your sword and ran out with Shinobu jumping onto the roofs of several buildings. None of you talked to each other or even tried too, you both were too stressed. 

Suddenly you heard a loud explosion and immediately stopped in your tracks. You froze. Shinobu looked beyond shocked, she was sweating and her mouth was agape. Swallowing down your shock you continued to run, Shinobu quickly following after you. When you reached the masters estate you saw a figure. 

“Muzan” You muttered and quickly went in for attack as long as the other Hashira. Suddenly it felt like you were stepping on nothing and along with Shinobu you all fell down. 

“Shinobu!” You called but she didn’t respond. You quickly turned your body and used your breathing technique to dampen the fall. You didn’t see Shinobu anywhere but your heart sank when you realized you were at Douma’s estate. 

“W-why am I here?” You asked and walked around. You had a very bad gut feeling that felt like it was eating you from the inside. You began to run around calling out for Douma. 

Shinobu who was in middle of a battle with him stopped in her tracks. 

“How do they know his name?” She thought but she lost focus and almost got hit. She looked at Douma who looked rather concerned?

He looked at the door before resuming his fight with Shinobu. 

Soon you heard fighting and opened the door and saw Douma and Shinobu fighting. Douma was going in for the attack but you weren’t having it and jumped forward. 

Your eyes widen because of the pain and almost in a instant you could barely breathe. 

Shinobu was closer but Douma still managed to reach you first. He had fear and panic in his eyes, it was very much clear. He carried you in bridal style. 

“Nakime teleport me to the infinity fortress” So Nakime did but for some reason Nakime teleported Shinobu there too. It was Muzan’s orders.

It was almost like a endless race. Douma jumped and broke through some doors. Shinobu was still very persistent and tried to get you back. 

“Little pest!” Douma tired to strike Shinobu with his blood demon art.

“Please don’t hurt Shinobu” As much as Douma loves you he can’t treat your wounds if Shinobu is trying to get you back all the time. 

“I could care less about her” He replied and tried to strike her. 

“Let go of Y/N! You damn shithead!” Shinobu yelled and used a breathing technique which lead to Douma dropping you. 

You fell down, everything felt like it was going slow-motion, you thought you would die so you just closed your eyes trying to at least make your last moments peaceful. Life flashed before your eyes. All your memories, all your moments with Shinobu, Douma and the pillars. It was great. 

“I guess this is how it ends” You smiled but it looks like death never came as you felt someone carrying you. It seemed like the arms were small so you knew you were in Shinobu’s arms. 

“It’s okay love! Just hold in there! I will treat you soon and-” Shinobu got cut off when Douma’s blood demon art came flying to her. 

“When this piece of shit is dead!” She yelled and continued to evade the attacks. 

“It hurts” You said and it seemed like both Shinobu and Douma heard it. 

“I know love, I know” Douma got more panicked. Suddenly two more people came in the fight. Kanao and Inosuke. 

“Alright! Get over here demon!” Inosuke shouted and went in for the attack. 

Douma tried to slice Inosuke but he avoided it. 

“Shinobu I’m feeling sleepy” Shinobu instantly averted her eyes to you and widened her eyes seeing you about to close your eyes. 

“Come on love you can hold on longer! Don’t leave me! Please!” Her cries cut short when your eyes finally closed. 

-

Suddenly it felt like you were laying on something. Was it grass? You opened your eyes and saw you were on a grass hill. The sky was clear blue and the air was nice and refreshing. 

“A-am I dead?” You said and rose up walking around. 

“Shinobu! Douma! Where are you?” Your eyes suddenly averted to Douma. 

“Douma!” You said and ran towards him and hugged him. 

“Hello Y/N” He replied and hugged you back. 

“Where are we?” He smiled very sadly at you when you broke the hug a bit. 

“We’re in the land of the dead or close at least” You gave him a confused look. 

“You have a choice where to go. I don’t” You still held the same confused expression. “I’m going to hell. It’s what I get for all my years of killing” Your eyes widened. You weren’t surprised that was the fate that laid on him after all he done.

“You can still go back” You shook your head. 

“I’ll join you then! You took care of me and everything. It’s only right that we both end up there together” Douma shook his head. 

“No it’s not. I deserve to be here, you don’t. You still have some people waiting for you, don’t make them wait any longer” He pointed to his left and there you saw you but you had your eyes closed and a peaceful expression. You saw how Shinobu, Aoi, Kanao, and the butterfly estate girls were looking hopefully for you to wake up but no response. Even Tanjiro was there and Nezuko. The triplets started to cry. 

“It’s been five months now” Aoi sighed out. 

“Maybe we should just-” 

“No” Shinobu said. “Don’t you dare. I’m still gonna have faith” Aoi nodded. 

“See? You have people that want you back. I have no one. Please let me go” Tears formed on your eyes. You ran to hug him. 

“I’m sorry but I still wanna go to you” Douma paused for a second before sighing a bit. 

“I love you so so so much” He said and kissed your forehead before shoving you. Your eyes widened and you saw Douma getting consumed by flames. 

“DOUMA!” You screamed falling down once again.

-

Warm. It was all you felt on your hand. It was comforting. 

“Y/N. It’s been five months now. The war is over, many people didn’t survive but still...we finally have peace” You soon recognized it was Shinobu’s voice. Her hand holding your hand. You moved your thumb, stroking her hand. 

“Y-Y/N? You’re awake?” You smiled, your eyes not fully open yet. 

“Aoi! Kanao! She’s waking up!” Even though Shinobu only called for Aoi and Kanao everyone else came. Finally you managed to open your eyes and saw several faces in front of you. 

“H-hi” And everyone jumped up and cheered, hugging everyone. The triplets started to cry and Aoi and Kanao hugged each other while crying. Shinobu cried too. Zenitsu and Nezuko hugged each other while Inosuke tried not to cry.

After everyone had calmed down, you sat up. 

“I’m so glad you’re awake! Everything got so empty without you” Shinobu said. 

“Heh I’m sorry it turned out this way” Shinobu only nodded. You looked at Tanjiro and saw he seemed a lot thinner. 

“Wow Tanjiro you okay? It looks like you haven’t eaten well” Tanjiro quickly rose his hands up. 

“O-oh no no it’s not like that! I lost all my physic strengths after the battle so...” You nodded. 

“Uhm I have something to ask so can everyone go except Shinobu, Kanao and Inosuke. Everyone nodded and walked out of the room. 

“You killed Douma didn’t you?” You asked and silence engulfed the room. 

“Yes we did” Shinobu said looking serious. 

“Did you know that demon?” Kanao asked. 

“Yes I did. He was my guardian. He took care of me and loved me. He also stopped eating women after I became a hashira because I threatened him” Shinobu’s eyes widened. 

“So that’s why he was so adamant of getting you?” You nodded. 

“Did you know that he killed Kanae?” Shinobu asked. 

“I understand if you wanna leave me. I’m so sorry for keeping it away from you but yes I knew. But I just couldn’t rat him out! Even if I threatened him I would’ve never do it anyways. My threat were empty. As said before he loved me so dearly and took care of me! He’s the reason why I’m here right now as a hashira since he trained me. I wasn’t very good nor strong but Douma never stopped training me. He didn’t give up on me and he never got mad at me for my mistakes” Shinobu thought about it. Maybe Douma wasn’t so bad. But no he killed her sister, she could never forgive that. But now he’s dead so she did manage to avenge her sister so does it really matter now? 

“I’m sorry we killed your guardian. We didn’t know” Kanao said and bowed.

“No no it’s fine. I think it’s better that way” You smiled sadly. You looked at Shinobu who sighed. 

“I understand why you didn’t tell me and if I was in the same situation I would’t tell either. But that doesn’t matter now. Let’s just look forward to the future and do what we can” You nodded and hugged her, tears spilling from your eyes. 

Not long after you and Shinobu visited all the graves of your dear Hashira friends. Mitsuri, Obani, Gyomei, Muichiro and Kyojuro. You didn’t make it in time to meet Sanemi since he would travel around. Shinobu was always cleaning and taking care of Kanae’s shrine and sometimes you helped her. You missed Douma but still this was for the best. 

You and Shinobu spend your days by just taking it easy and taking care of the patients that still needed treatment. The demon slayer corps got disbanded. You two took care of your goldfishes and you all lived together in the butterfly estate. 

- 

Years flew by. You and Shinobu got married and few years later Kanao and Tanjiro, Zenitsu and Nezuko and Inosuke and Aoi got married too. Oh what a busy painful month that was. Everyone had to work hard for the wedding plans. It was exhausting. Few years later they all got wonderful kids of their own but you and Shinobu adopted one instead. It was a beautiful girl, even if she weren’t your biological kid you both loved her nonetheless. 

Finally you and Shinobu grew old. Grew wrinkles, being more forgetful, couldn’t move around too much but still you two were happy. Your daughter were now a adult and even got two kids. They are eight. 

-

You and Shinobu are now laying on your beds knowing it would be your last days alive. You both would die of old age and were now just waiting. Your beds were beside each other holding each other hands. 

“You nervous?” Shinobu asked tilting her head towards you.

You chuckled your voice more raspy. 

“Well I almost died once so I should know how it feels” Now it was Shinobu’s turn to chuckle a bit although it sounded like it took all her energy to do that. 

“It seems like we two will die alone here” You said. 

“I don’t mind. At least I get to die with you” You smiled at Shinobu.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way” You said almost in a whisper and Shinobu nodded. 

“Me neither” 

“I love you Shinobu” 

“I love you too” And with that you both fell asleep your hands still touching each other. 

What a nice ending for two lovers. 

A/N:Thank you for requesting! This was fun to write but I had to plan alot for it lol. 

SPOILER

When Douma pushes down Y/N that is inspired when Sanemi’s dad pushed Sanemi so he couldn’t join his mother in hell. Fun fact. 

[howuart]

HELLO so. for the dystopian au...

what are the mc's ages? your obviously still figuring out the timeline so it might be hard to say, but do you have any ideas?

and, bc i legally have to ask this one, where are the ninja and co? r they under the control of the overlords army or like. vigilantes? feel like you could do a lot with them here fr

ik the venom is infecting him but PLEASE tell me garma would never hurt his kids please my heart will break <3

what happened to rumis biological parents? did they still die in the g.d attack but at a different time bc. idk timeline shenanigans?

how are our kids gonna react whenever they learn about the gn prophecy? is morro still gonna go villain on us?

and, the two most important questions to ME, does morro see wu as a father figure, and do lloyd and rumi see Morro as an older brother/cousin figure??

srry for the question spam i just really like this concept <3<3<3

never apologize for question spams I love getting them!!

alright let's start

Morro's older than the green sibs and the green sibs are teens for exact ages I haven't figured that out yet.

so Ninja are around but none know each other (except nya and kai obviously) and they lead factions as they try to not die to Garmadon, he as usual doesn't care for them and just wants them out of the picture. None of them were taught how to use their elemental powers to they're all very destructive when they do, they've all learned of them but none know how to control them that well.

All the previous elemental masters were hunted down and killed. Rip them. so none of them know their parents/ have mentors. Jay has a very hazy memory of his parents leaving him with his grandparents (which he just calls ma and pa (ed and edna)) Kai remember's their faces but not much else, nya like Jay has a very hazy version that gets blended with Kai a lot, Cole remembers his mom (he has his dad...for now) and his dad tells him about her when he can, Zane doesn't remember his Dad as per usual.

So back to the factions they don't get along with each other, all preferring different things and not trusting each other. They may be young (young adults maybe) but they lead and make all the big decisions, keep rations and other stuff like that. There are other fractions too like Chen probably has one and other random people plus other's I'm probably just forgetting about right now.

so the ninja since they run into each other a lot, have bands that tell each person whose faction they're from ya know red, black, blue, and white. Nya's are with Kai, the two lead together.

Yes they're trying to defeat Garmadon but not heavily, like the ninja have never known a time without him, so while they want him gone they don't really know if that's possible. or I"ve just not given them enough thought yet. feel free to give any suggestions you have!

Garm would never it was a mix of Anger (things not going his way) the venom and the overlord that caused him to hurt lloyd, and like the split second after it happened garm was back in his senses and wanted desperately to help his son but Lloyd had ran off already.

so the g.d hasn't been released yet, none of the serpentine have, that'll change soon though, but yeah it hasn't been released yet, her parents are dead, they died in one of garm's attacks as he tried to kill the rebels. Or just people that get on his nerves.

And then he saw a child, a little girl all on her own, so Garm (cause he's still a softy) took her in, her being young just kinda went with it she didn't realize that Garm cause her parents to die, till later, she's not sure how she feels on this, while she loves and cares for garm he also killed her parents, so she has mixed feelings. but she also just likes to blame the venom for her parents deaths.

ok ok so when they learn if they lean before they cure him, they're not gonna like it, but no Morro wont go villain, why would he? he's never been told he was going to be the legendary green ninja so he's just like "Wait you mean to tell me that he has to fight his Dad?" he's as appalled as lloyd is to it, Lloyd very much just refuses to be the green ninja. Harumi's just worried why would lloyd have to kill their dad? He'd never their dad was nice!

Yes Morro's mostly refers to Wu as Dad sensei or master why talking about how he trained him and stuff like that. but mostly he just calls him Dad. And Yes Lloyd and harumi see Morro as their cool older cousin/brother, but hate it when he tells them stuff like "don't kill them!" or "no you are not allowed to maim them!" afhlksj Morro's the only one of the three to have morals and he's trying to teach the other two.

Hope that answered all the questions feel free to ask more if you'd like to

JP vs. Localization in Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation

(Okay, for real this time lol)

Again, here’s a link to my sources post.

Fortunately, this route follows suit in terms of good localization quality after Conquest. It’s the shortest out of all the posts, since I don’t really have a lot to talk about. Mostly subtle line changes, references and a few key points of information that were cut out. I also went through Hidden Truths and Heirs of Fate to see if I could add stuff from those on here, but there were no big problems that I found.

Once again, the main part of this post will all be put under the cut. If a chapter isn’t covered, it means I didn’t think there were any differences worth talking about.

I’ll use localized names for characters and locations, unless I feel the need to do otherwise.

I’ll be using she/her when referring to Corrin in this post. (I flipped a coin to decide the gender lol)

Also, note that after Chapter 14, the translation of this route on Fateswartable ends, so I mostly relied on the English patch done by Serenes at that point forward. (I also used PegasusKnight.com as a reference to fall back on if I needed it)

Chapter 7

-A minor gripe I have with localization. The JP version compares Touma (Valla) to hell constantly. To jump ahead a bit, I believe in the JP versions of the End of All Sky/Land/Below tracks are even called The End of All Roads Heaven/Earth/Hell. The Vallites are also often called demons in the JP version, and Anankos himself is known as the ‘Invisible Demon Dragon’.

Another cool thing I just thought of too, is a connection to a popular Japanese short story. Zelda fans might be familiar with the story, “The Spider’s Thread”, which inspired the Ancient Cistern dungeon in Skyward Sword.

The beginning of the story has Buddha walking through paradise (heaven), before coming across a pond. The pond is filled with crystal clear water, and covered with water lilies/lotuses. As Buddha gazes further into the pond, he begins to see the depths of hell.

Sound familiar? “Azura is walking through Hoshido, before coming across a lake. The lake is filled with crystal clear water, and when she gazes into the lake she sees the fallen kingdom of her birth. Valla, the kingdom associated with water lilies/lotuses in the game, has been turned into hell itself.”

This association loses its meaning a bit when the comparisons to hell are a bit toned down, as well as when the Buddhist inspirations were kind of supplanted in favor of Greek renames. It’s not supremely important to the plot as a whole, but it’s something interesting I wanted to bring up.

-In the JP version, while explaining what happened in Valla, Azura eventually says “Using the art of manipulating people’s souls, he (Hydra/Anankos) made the people kill each other.” This bit of the people killing each other was cut in localization.

Chapter 12

-In the JP version, when Corrin asks Flora if she knows anything about dragons, Flora says “Sorry, I don’t know…The ancestral dragon of the Ice Clan has already perished and isn’t part of the legend. I don’t know what role it plays, sorry…” Localization makes her response “I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything... They've been gone so long that we don't even have tales of dragons in the Ice Tribe. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance...”

So, the JP version explicitly says the Ice Dragon is dead (I believe Fates’ second artbook mentioned this as well), whereas the localization only says the First Dragons have been gone for a long time.

Chapter 16

-There’s not really much of a problem that I have with what Ryoma says about Corrin “having leadership qualities at a young age” but I wanted to do comparisons regardless cuz the word choice might lead one to different conclusions. In localization, Ryoma says this:

Ryoma: Huh... So she told us the same thing... I don't think it's in Corrin's nature to lie. And there's a leadership quality about her that just attracts followers. I remember being jealous of her as a child, in fact. Even at such a young age, she displayed the characteristics of a ruler. Silly to be jealous of her, right?

In the JP version, Ryoma says this:

Ryoma: Oh... So, she told you the same thing. …Corrin isn’t one to tell lies. She’s been like that since childhood. She’s always genuine and honest... She has this mysterious appeal that draws people to her. Seeing my younger sister with the qualities of being a ruler... Honestly, it makes me feel envious. …What a ridiculous thing to say, right?

Again, I don’t necessarily have a problem with how it was localized, but some might. The localization version might have people think that Corrin somehow was a fantastic leader at such a young age, but JP is more clear that it was about the qualities she had at a young age that would be valuable as a leader.

Chapter 19

-A minor gripe. In the localization, Azura says that Anankos uses his magic to send Vallites to Nohr and Hoshido to stir up conflict. In the JP version, she says he uses magic, along with the help of a body of water. That’s why whenever you fight Vallites outside of Valla proper, there’s a body of water nearby; Hoshido’s lake (and the ponds shown in Hinoka’s CQ battle which are in the capital) for Chapter 5, the sea for BR chapter 11, the burning falls for BR chapter 21, and the city for Rev chapter 13. Similarly, the consequences of being a victim to the curse are described as “turning into sea foam” in the JP version. Localization as a whole kind of toned down how much water has an influence on the story.

Chapter 23

-Probably the pettiest gripe I have lol. As Arete is fading away from Azura’s arms, Azura has a different reaction in localization and Japanese. In localization, Azura says “Mother? Mother!” while a voice clip of her in-battle pain cries plays. In the JP, she says  “*Sob... Sob*…! Mother... Mother...!”, while a voice clip of her crying plays. Her crying voice clip I don’t recall hearing anywhere else.

This is one of the few times in the you get to see Azura express a heavy and heartfelt emotion, since her rough childhood caused her to remain guarded and stoic around everyone. The equivalents to this scene in other routes is her death scene in Birthright, and her crying with Corrin over Ryoma’s death in Conquest; a normally unflinching and aloof character breaking down is a rarity, and indicates that the cause of it is something to take note of for the character as a whole. Localization softened this aspect, and I take issue with it, despite it probably seeming trivial to most other people.

Chapter 24

-When Corrin is questioning the phantom Mikoto, an exchange happens. In localization, part of it goes like this:

Corrin: But this can't be... Are you truly my mother?

Mikoto: I am. Even as a puppet of Anankos, my spirit at least remains my own.

Corrin: I... I believe you.

In the JP version, it goes like this:

Corrin: It can’t be... …Are you really my mother?

Mikoto: Yes... I became an Invisible servant, controlled by the Invisible King... Even so, I am your mother.

Corrin:  …………

Again, a minor thing that I don’t personally have issue with, but replacing Corrin’s silence with an admittance of belief could make some believe she has “reverted” back to being too naïve.

Chapter 26

-While Gunter is relaying his past, an exchange happens. In localization, it goes like this:

Gunter: I ask myself that, every day. I cannot understand the minds of royals. To you all, we commoners are little more than pawns in your schemes... Or weeds to be killed on a whim.

Corrin: That's not true...

Xander: Is that how people view the royalty?

Ryoma: Such an impression would easily breed powerful resentment...

In the JP version, Corrin, Xander and Ryoma don’t say anything. They just remain silent.

Endgame

-Not a major problem so much as a general thing about the game, but I can think of like... at least three memes that Treehouse inserted into the localization. Now I like memes, but there is no better way to date your media nowadays. One of them was Kana’s “That’s dragon for I love you” which tbh, is kind of cute and isn’t the most well known meme so I guess I can let it slide. Another is Felicia saying “I had one job!” when she messes up in the dining hall, which isn’t that big of a deal since the dining hall is very optional.

The last one I can think of is why I put this specific grievance here, and it’s during Corrin’s speech before facing Anankos.

Corrin: We won't back down! This is my... This is our destiny! Ready your weapons! Fight for your friends! With the Seal of Flames... With the Fire Emblem on our side! We fight for our world!!

Yeah, she says “Fight for your friends” which is everyone’s favorite Ike line from Brawl. Now, this isn’t even a totally inaccurate translation either, but it kind of just... makes the moment funny for the player when it’s supposed to be commanding and serious I guess.

But yeah, not the most important issue by far, but something I’d thought to mention. Hell, it’s not even that bad compared to how they made Peri’s, Effie’s and Hisame’s quirks into exaggerated and tired jokes. And the Beruka-Saizo support. Never forget.

-When Azura and Corrin are by the lake and discuss the latter’s plans to rule, Corrin says this in localization:

Corrin: I'm going to make Valla a wonderful place! In honor of the true last king and for Queen Arete. And everyone who fought... I promise to make them all proud.

In the JP version, she says this:

Corrin: I’ll make the Invisible Kingdom (Valla) into a great land. For the previous monarch, Queen Shenmei (Arete)… And for all of my allies who fought beside me. I promise.

So, JP version only mentions Arete as the reigning monarch of Valla. Which makes sense, cuz unless there was some wild “keeping the bloodline pure” shenanigans in Valla, Arete being the Queen keeps in line with what we know about the rest of Valla’s history. Arete was royalty from birth, as was her sister Mikoto. Arete is the one who passed down Lost in Thoughts and the pendant to Azura.  

[forrests-waterfall]

Hello! Ik someone’s asked you before but I reallyyyy liked the Dynamic between them both sooooo I’d like to request regressor Tommy and caregiver Technoblade oneshot please ! Maybe something like he hasn’t regressed in a month and techno is worried about him and baby’s him! :3 thank ya <3

Little!Tommy and CG!Technoblade

A/N ;; To be honest, I’m not a fan of how I wrote this. I don’t know what it is about it that needs to be fixed either pfft. So I hope this is at least alright!!

CW/TW ;; Small mentions of Tommy’s exile, the pet names bubs, baby boy, and Toms being used. Also very very small mentions of pushing back headspace.

"Tech I'm home!" Tommy shivered from the outside cold as the door shut behind him. He had gone out to get some materials but had forgotten his jacket (aside from the one he was wearing already), so the trip was a short one. 

He didn't need a lot anyway, pretty much anything he needed the other had. After taking his sweater off due to the now warm temperature in the house, he looked up the latter. Techno hadn't replied to his--you could say announcement of him being home.

He raised an eyebrow in confusion, sure the other didn't say a lot when Tommy got home but there was at least an "alright" or a hum of acknowledgment. And it wasn't a big deal of course, he was just used to it he supposed.

He placed himself on the latter and climbed up  quickly, wanting to see what the other was doing. Maybe Techno was just making potions again and was too concentrated in doing so. That would make sense, Techno was almost always doing something work related.

He hopped onto the next floor and looked at the other. Techno wasn't making potions but he was sitting on a table reading a book. Must be another history book, what was it that Techno liked? Greek mythology? "Hey, Tommy" 

The younger smiled at the greeting, "what you readin'? Nerd stuff again I assume?" Tommy hopped onto the table and sat next to the other with his legs crossed.

Tommy actually enjoyed listening to Techno talk about stories and all kinds of other stuff, though knowing Tommy he'd never admit to it. It was just something about the way Techno spoke about it all, it had him intrigued him and he couldn't help but listen.

"Yes Tommy, nerd stuff" he turned the page and began reading along the lines of words again. Silence went between the two, Tommy  sometimes peeking over Techno's shoulder to look at the page he was on.

It was obviously  an old book as some parts of the pages were stained though not enough to make it illegible.  Tommy sighed as he looked away from the nonfiction/fiction (depends on what the person believed).

He hadn't realized how tired he was until he sat down, not only from the trip but he also didn't get much sleep the past week or two. It had only been around one to two months since Tommy moved in with Techno, which meant it was only one to two months since he got away from Dream.

Just thinking about it made him want to curl up and go into his safe place.  Now that he thought about it, he hadn't regressed in quite a bit. He either didn't have time to do it or just got scared about doing so. He didn't get to regress much at all during exile unless it was right before bed. Dream was just always there which made it a whole lot more difficult.

The blond knew that this was a safe place for him, Techno wouldn't judge him. Hell, Techno was his caregiver. Though Tommy didn't need anyone to take care of him--he was a big man, not a child! 

He hadn't even noticed he was chewing on his fingers while thinking, though the other had seen a bit ago but didn't want to question it right away. "Toms?" Tommy internally smiled at the simple nickname, Techno had started calling him that in little space originally but it became an all the time thing.

Honestly, tommy didn't mind. "Mm?" Tommy hummed in response, wanting to know what the other's question was.

Tommy's legs dropped from the edge of the table and began to swing, Tommy couldn't stand sitting still, and it didn't help he was starting to feel small. Techno stopped what he was doing and placed the book down.

"Are you little right now, Toms?" Techno's voice became much softer than earlier, Tommy immediately noticed that the other was using the tone he typically used when Tommy was in little space.

"No" Tommy shook his head in response. He wasn't little, he was just quiet. That's all.

Techno didn't believe the response he got, Tommy never really liked admitting that he was feeling small and the caregiver was more than aware of that.

"You don't have to lie to me, baby boy. It's okay to be little, I've noticed you haven't been for quite some time now" Techno knew how to make Tommy feel smaller, and Tommy wasn't necessarily complaining.

The blond huffed as he crossed his arms, looking a different direction rather than at Techno. The older hopped off the desk and took a step away, "whatever, I guess I'll just go color by myself in these new coloring books I bought" the pinkette's  playfully added as he began to take a few steps away.

Tommy perked up, new coloring books? He wanted to color! Plus they were new, maybe he'd give in to Techno. "I wan color!" Techno went back over to the little, "oh really?" Tommy nodded excitedly, he wanted to see the new coloring books! He wanted to try and color inside the lines! Techno picked the little up and sat him on his waist, "okay fine, if you say so!"

————————

"What color pencil do you want?" "Blue!" he handed the blue pencil to Tommy and watched him color whatever he was coloring.

It had been a good hour since Tommy got home, which was around 10pm. Techno checked the time to see it was now 11, which was pretty late for the other. Tommy's usual bed time when in little space was usually 9pm, though today was a bit of an exception.

Even if an exception, again it was still late and he couldn't let the little stay up much longer. He could tell Tommy wasn't getting enough sleep anyway by the purple bags under the blond's eyes. Not to mention the little has been acting tired the past few days now.

"Wha you thinkin' about, Tech?" Tommy stopped Techno from thinking any further into it, "nothing Toms, you don't have to worry about it" Techno ruffled the other's hair which resulted in a pout. "Otay" he extended his Y as he went back to coloring, "need red p'ease".

Techno handed him the wooden coloring tool, "Tha purple!" Tommy giggled--the hybrid looking at the pencil and sighed, he handed Tommy the correct one this time.

Looking back at the time, it was now 11:13pm. Techno could also tell that the other was getting sleepier, with the constant rubbing of his eyes and yawns coming from him.

"Maybe we should head to bed, bubs" Tommy surprisingly didn't refute against it, he was done with his coloring page and couldn't think of anything to do.

He sat himself up and made grabby hands at his caregiver. This resulted in the hybrid cooing as he lifted the little and rested him on his waist like earlier. He carefully went down the latter, making sure not to drop the little just in case he decided to move.

Once in Tommy's room, he set him down on his bed and covered him with the red blanket the little had. Tommy grabbed ahold of a sheep plush he owned and hugged it to his chest, "Ghost!" he giggled while continuing to cuddle with the stuffed animal.

"Sippy or baba today, Toms?" the little responded by lifting up a single finger, which silently told techno he wanted a sippy cup.

Techno went back up a couple rooms, fetched a red and white sippy cup and filled it with apple juice. Tommy had preferred to drink some type of juice before bed rather than milk.

The hybrid went back to the little's room and handed him the cup filled with juice. Tommy smiled and took ahold of the cup and began drinking it.

"You want me to read you a bedtime story, bubs?" the other took the top of the cup out of his mouth and nodded excitedly. Techno had many and many stories memorized, so usually a book wasn't needed. He sat down beside the little and began thinking. "A'tena!" Tommy smiled and set his plush down beside himself.  "You want to hear about a Greek God?" Techno was double checking just in case they weren't talking about the same person.

The little clapped excitedly with a couple nods, "okay settle down," Tommy nodded one last time before he stopped and began to listen. "where do I begin.." The caregiver began to think, not wanting to make this boring for the other. "Wha she do?" Tommy tilted his head slightly to the side while letting out a yawn. Techno believed he understood was Tommy had asked and cleared out his throat as Tommy snuggled into his caregiver's side.

"Well, Athena protected a city long long ago called..."

Smaugust Day 9: Galaxy

I’m leaving tomorrow morning, my sister is going to look over the farm while I’m away. Echo Bel and Kory are coming with me, they can help with transportation and have separation anxiety. Xandra is showing me her camp, she has many followers, I’m going to be the first lizard to join it. That fact will be kept secret from the rest of the “humans” as to not cause hysteria, she has done the same with herself, hiding herself as an amphibian. I’m bringing my journal, I need to be able to write my thoughts

See you soon, Niki~

*we find out who the narrator is 👀. Another first person written segment, hopefully this one won’t be as long XD. Also, if by the end of Smaugust I feel there are some odd unintended plot holes or threads that need to be resolved I’ll make sure to do so. Ik it’s confusing right now, but I will continue right where we left off on the last writing segment for easiness*

Half my tea was gone in under a minute, it was jasmine green from what I tasted and was made very well.

“Please do explain what you mean by non-lizard kind though… Are you talking Amphibious sentience?” I ask, leaning back on the couch I had been placed on.

“No not sentient Amphibians that walk like us, I mean a species on another planet called Humans. They are a scaleless race with no tails, and can grow fur at an alarming rate. They can be dangerous to us, but not all of them. If you join me you can meet them, but many of them do not have the best interests of the dragons in mind.” Her creature tightened itself onto her neck. Has it experienced these “humans” before?

“Does that planet have dragons too? Also how do you, uh, go to another planet? Do you have access to a rocket?”

“No, I have something much better and easier to fuel… but you have to commit before learning of that. Keep your questions to a minimum till I finish explaining please, it will be easier.” Saying with a small hand wave. I nob in agreement.

“The planet is called earth and is very similar to ours. But dragons do not live naturally there, and have been brought there by a lizard who wanted a new environment for sport hunting, and didn’t get them all… They ended up breeding and creating homes for themselves, few and far apart. I used to monitor and catch some of the dragons to bring them back when I could along with my brother. When he passed I couldn’t do it by myself anymore, so I seeked the assistance of other lizards to return the dragons to their natural habitat. Not many believed me, and those who did I knew didn’t have the intentions of the animals in mind. So, I decided to start recruiting humans using my magic-“

“Wait wait wait, you have magic abilities?” I ask, needing to know more about this.

“Yes I possess magic, I’m no lizard, but we don’t need to know about that for now. All you need to know is that I can give objects the ability to transform a human into a lizard or amphibian sentient if worn, that’s what I can do,” Xandra says with a sigh. I speculate what she could be, and remember a legend about the creation of our world, something similar to that happening, where a being gave sentience to all of the lizards, and later some of the amphibians. There was another part of it where they wiped out a different race beforehand but I couldn’t remember it too well.

Xandra continued her explanation, “I chose humans because they would do the best capturing dragons in the human planet, since they are not killed on sight when seen… The humans I choose were specifically selected by my familiar, Davey here,” She pointed to the amphibian around her neck, it seemed to smile in admiration of its role.

“They are small enough to avoid detection from the humans, and not popular enough to be sought out, and they are very fast. Easily able to escape a human. I’ve gotten quite the following from animal lovers around earth, and luckily most of them speak English or know sign language, Davey doesn’t go far from our camp.”

“What do you guys Uh, do? Do you go to the human world and just, catch the dragons? And why don’t you just tell the humans that the dragons are an invasive species and, I guess take them back?” I ask, confused what I would actually be doing and why the humans are a problem.

Xandra’s calm demeanor shifted, and her eyebrows furrowed, “Most humans want the dragons, but I know they aren’t safe there. They would be hunted for sport and put in cages. I’ve watched them for thousands of years, they will never accept the dragons as any more then a fantasy creature for decoration. And for some reason now there are more being found, species that weren’t brought to earth from that initial leak. There’s another source, someone from this planet that has access to Earth and is exploiting it to bring dragons there. You can help me find them, and allow me to have more allies on this side. Plus the place I’m keeping the dragons isn’t safe anymore, I need somewhere here I can put them with someone to take care of them.” Her voice had raised slightly, this is a subject she is angry about. She must have witness terrible things. I think it’s an amazing idea, I have the whole farm I could keep the dragons. Acres of land I’m not using right now could be put to this. I didn’t care if she was legit or not, I believed her.

“Ok, I’m convinced… I want to help. I have a farm that can serve as a holding place for the dragons until we can bring them to their rightful places,” I say, trying to hide the excitement in my voice. She smiles at me, looking satisfied.

“My camp, it is all humans, they do not know of our reptilian existence, to them they are the last of the reptile kind. So to them, your just another new human recruit. That means,” Xandra gets up, walking towards the closet I had noticed before, “that means that you have to pick out an accessory to simulate the effect of you being a fake lizard.”

I stand up and walk to the closet as well. Xandra escapes into the inside of it, I follow closely. The inside wasn’t meant to hold more then one person, but it wasn’t uncomfortable. Along the walls is an array of shirts, jackets, pants, hats, bracelets, necklaces, etc. in every color imaginable.

“Take your pick, it doesn’t matter what it is, other then u will need to be able to wear it for long amounts of time,” she says, picking up a hat and dusting it off, then hanging it back up.

I look around the room, spinning in place, then think of something, “Do you have a piece? How do you hide that your not a lizard?”

She thinks for moment, “Davey helps me with that too, as you know they are my familiar, and they aren’t just any normal dragon either. They become a wonderful necklace whenever I need them to. And when I wear that, I become what they would be if they were a sentient Amphibian,” she explained to me. So far she has shown me no proof of the magic she claims to have, and this seems like a simple test. Even if I was all for the cause, no reason not to speculate.

“Could u show me?”

“Of course,” Xandra said, glancing at Davey. The creature climbed to the front of her neck, then sitting still right there for a few seconds. I await the transformation. Then, they stiffen and fall loose, a small chain connecting to their mouth and tail holding them onto Xandra’s neck. Her body poofs into one of an sentient Olm, her body much longer then previously. I stare up at her in awe, it all must be true.

“Wow…” I say, stunned by the display. She smiles down at me and quickly exits the closet, since she had taken up most the room.

“I need to show u our transportation tomorrow, since it is getting late. You will be seeing the camp, and meeting the members. You may stay for a couple of days to get familiar with them,” she says, looking out the window. I understand her reasoning, my sister can watch over the farm while I’m gone, I’ll be returning there soon with suitable dragons.

I return to looking at the room and behind a puffy jacket is a bronze glimmer. I walk towards it and grab it, it’s a tail ring. A dragon spiraling around a few times. And it’s adjustable, I try it on, tightening it to my liking. I decide it would be to heavy to stay on, and I don’t really like these kinds of jewelry. Placing it back in it’s spot, I try on a few other things, including a puffy jacket(after taking my shoulder armor off), a muzzle, and a necklace with an odd diamond like pendant on it. Then another thing caught my eye, a blue bandana with a cool looking pattern on it. I tie it around my neck, I think this one will work very well.

Exiting the room I look around for Xandra, spotting her on the couch reading a book. Davey was wrapped around her wrist and she was back in her original state.

“I have chosen this bandana!” I announce, walking towards her. She looks up from her reading and smiles brightly.

“Oh wonderful sweet pea, I only ask one more question of you before you go home to rest up for tomorrow,” she says, putting her book down.

“What’s that?” I ask, holding my shoulder armor tightly.

“What’s your name?”

“Oh- oh yeah you don’t know me very well yet. I’m Niki,” I say with a smile. She smiles back at me.

“Thank you hun. One more thing though, if you have any drakes I would recommend you bring them with you, they would help with the travel aspect. Tomorrow won’t be a walk in the park,” she says, picking her book back up. I nod, looking to my left and realizing the door is right next to the couch. I mentally scorn myself for not realizing this sooner, and exit the house. I know these woods, and have seen this cottage before. It looks worn down on the outside, abandoned… but making my way home is easy. It was evening by the time I made it back.

I call my sister, “Hi Bryn, I need you to watch the farm for a few days.”

02:25:16 i love that technos first instinct when someone dies is to check what sword/axe killed them nd what enchants r on it aldskfjads

i love how techno calls the manhunt music ‘dream music’ its so funny to me

right before he ends the stream he says ‘p e r h a p s’ to techno plushies and i just,,,, wa n t 

if ya just want an actual summary and not that MESS:

Technoblade starts the stream in his house. the first thing he does is put another piece of fanart in his house, this one by snumkt on twitter. he goes to l’manburg, where he sneaks around very sneakily (/s) and replaces anti-techno propaganda with pro-techno fanart, stating that “If they take it down, it’s ‘cause they hate fanartists.” (00:09:18). 

While placing posters, Techno checks in on his hound army, and reveals that he thinks someone had been in the area, because a wolf teleported to him while he was home. He thinks someone placed water, the dog stood up, and then teleported. (00:18:25)

After breeding the dogs, Techno reads donations and one of the questions is about the SBI family dynamics. Here’s what he says at 00:20:55 

“‘Hey, are you uncomfortable with being part of the SBI family dynamic?’ Uh, I don’t really- it’s not a matter of being uncomfortable, it’s just a matter of people making massive revisions to my character and the lore three months into the story without telling me, and it’s like, ‘no, that doesn’t- the story doesn’t- so many things don’t make sense now! What?? What???’ but if you want to make like, fanart of it, it’s fine”

He then meets up with Philza, who is being escorted by Tubbo. Techno goes to Philzas house, and hides in his new basement. He joins their VC and finds Phil, Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo. talking about birthdays. Tubbo goes to the basement and sees Technos invis particles, hits him, and he is revealed. Techno kills tubbo, and declares it canon as a joke. 

He goes back outside, deafened on Discord, and puts down more propaganda. Philza joins his call, and they meet up to try and find Technos stolen items. They don’t find the barrel, but they do find a hidden room under the podium. Techno puts a piece of propaganda in the room. (00:43:30)

While Phil is killing an enderman, Ranboo finds them, and is killed by Techno. (00:46:25) 

Techno takes Phil to see his Hound Army, but they’re stopped by Tubbo. Techno tries to pretend to be Ranboo, but Ranboo goes up to them, so his cover is blown. Techno’s chased to the portal. Phil and Techno meet again in the Nether, and they go back to the house. 

At the house, Phil and Techno talk about the SBI characters, the sellout timer goes off, and then they go downstairs to cure a zombie villager. While it’s curing, Techno gathers books to make a new bow, with Power V, Punch II, Unbreaking III, Flame, and Mending. 

Philza reveals that Ranboo is coming over to give Phil a present. Techno seems excited at this, mostly at the fact that Ranboo can be his new bows test subject. 

Before Ranboo arrives, the villager is cured, and they find out it is a nitwit, meaning it can’t trade or get a job. Techno and Phil start working on a tunnel to bring the villager to a lava pool, so the other villagers won’t gossip and raise their prices. 

Ranboo joins the call at 01:15:35, right before they’re going to bring the villager to the lava pool. He gifts Techno and Phil four Netherite ingots.

After struggling to get the villager to the right height, Techno forces Ranboo to boat the villager into the lava. Ranboo escapes by throwing a pearl, and the villager dies.

Ranboo, Techno, and Phil talk about duping Netherite, and the current plot, and then Techno finds a zombie baby villager. It’s caught in a boat, and Techno nametags it ‘Orphan.’ They talk about the cobblestone tower, Philzas’ death to a baby zombie, and how if you don’t see a child's parents, you should assume that they are an orphan and attack them. 

Techno talks to Jack Manifold through chat about his axe. Techno, Philza, and Ranboo go around and look for zombie villagers. Techno finds an igloo, with two villagers. Techno was going to try and turn them into zombie villagers, but decides to not when he finds out that theres a 0% chance of that happening on Easy mode. 

They all go back to Orphan, and bully it when they find out it still hasn’t grown up. Techno and Ranboo make a joke about how it’s traumatized, so it’ll be funny and can be come a minecraft youtuber. please get some help. (01:48:15)

After Orphan grows up, Techno trades and gets the Bottle of Enchanting trade for one emerald. They all joke about Techno owning an orphanage at 01:51:35.

Phil, Techno, and Ranboo decide go to the Hound Army, but Techno remembers that Ranboo is part of L’manburg, and tries to kill him (with his new bow) when they enter the nether. He doesn’t succeed, and he continues fighting until he drinks and invis pot on the Prime Path. Techno and Phil meet up in the Bee Dome, where Ranboo finds them. Techno tries to kill him, but runs out of arrows. 

After reading donations, Techno, Ranboo, and Phil are back together at the Bee Dome, and they decide to team up in case someone finds them. They go outside of the Dome, and chase Jack Manifold out of his own country.

Manifold joins the VC, and they try to blame Punz on his attempted murder. After Manifold says “i feel there has been an attempt on my life,” Techno says that that’s how he greets people in his country.

Manifold asks if they want to help him get revenge on Punz, and Techno agrees. They gather more people, and by the time they get to Punz’s tower, their party is Manifold, Techno, Phil, Ranboo, Fundy, and Antfrost. Punz is in the Nether, so they wait until he gets back. 

Ranboo and Techno have a whisper conversation:

Ranboo: are you just going to jump fundy

Techno: no im gonna make jack 1v1 LMAO

Ranboo: good plan

While Fundy is taking a screenshot of Techno for his thumbnail, Philza attacks Fundy with a crossbow and his sword. He claims it was because he was getting bored. 

In the same spirit, Techno asks if they could kill Manifold to pass the time. The mob, which now includes Fundy, chases Manifold. He runs to the Holy Land, and the mob boos him.  Techno tells Antfrost to kill Manifold, and that the mob won’t tell that he was killed in the Holy Land. Manifold hands Antfrost his sword. 

While Antfrost debates killing Manifold or not, the mob chants ‘peer pressure!’ at him. Techno quickly realizes that Antfrost isn’t in the VC, and is extremely confused. The sword gets handed to Fundy, who gets into a battle with Manifold. Philza tells Fundy that he’s forgiven, if he can kill Manifold. The battle calms, and neither of the contestants die.

Techno convinces the mob to go to the pit trap, and tries to lure someone onto the trapped blocks using rotten flesh. Fundy takes the bait, but moves out of the way before the button is pressed. Antfrost sneaks up behind him and punches him into the pit. Fundy survives the fall, but is shot by Manifold to death. 

During the commotion, Punz makes his way back to his house, and the mob moves towards him to end his life. Manifold says that he’s going to kill Punz, and Techno says that the mob’ll have his back. He tells the mob to not have Manifold’s back. 

at 02:17:00, Punz joins the call, and is confused as to why Manifold wants to kill him. Manifold explains that Punz tried to kill him, siting his source as Technoblade. 

also, 2:17:15 technoswear!

Techno encourages Punz, saying “Punz, he actually dropped his sword by accident and now I have it, so it’d be really easy to beat him up,” and “he also just killed in the holy land, so you have a sort of...religious motivation to take him out.”

Punz tries to fight Manifold without armor (Manifold is wearing a full enchanted set of armor, with a Netherite chestplate and everything else Diamond), which fails miserably, and Manifold is killed. 

Techno decides to fight Manifold with his goons (the mob) for the audience retention, and Manifold’s quickly killed. The final hit was from CaptainPuffy. Ponk rushes in and grabs some of Manifold’s items. Puffy takes the rest.

Manifold complains about getting bullied, so Techno gives him his sword back and tells him to avenge himself. While looking for Ponk (or Punz? this is kinda unclear), Punz swoops in and kills Manifold in two hits. 

Manifold finds Ponk and chases after him, trying to kill him. The mob follows, and Ranboo kills Ponk with thorns. Manifold takes Ponks stuff. 

Right after respawning, Ponk was blown up by a creeper, and Techno claimed both as canon. 

The mini fights continue, and Manifold is killed by Punz. 

Ranboo changes the ‘Days since last war crime’ sign to 0.

Phil tells Techno that he’s going back to the base, and the L’manburgians question him as to what base he’s talking about. Phil tells Fundy that he ripped off his ankle shackles and left. While they talk, Techno starts running back to the base, and Ranboo whispers “lets run back” to him. Ranboo follows Techno, but quickly looses him.

Phil and Techno join a separate VC together and they go back to the base. 

At 02:29:15, Phil says “I trust you” to Techno and I am going to cry. 

Right before getting to the base, Phil drinks some honey, and Techno says “that’s the only thing we have honey for, now that we’ve uh...uh I guess you don’t know about that.” He’s referring to the Vault, I think, because the redstone required honey to work properly. 

Philza responds, “the honey- wait, what did you use the honey for?” 

“uhhh....food.” Techno, for some reason, doesn’t want to show Phil the vault. 

Ranboo whispers to Techno: “My alliance isnt with lmanburg, its with the people who help me. phil helped me.”

out loud, Techno laughs about it with phil, saying, “well, I’ve stabbed him like twelve times this week, so, I [laughs] I don’t know if that entirely qualifies here.”

Techno messages Ranboo back with “new phone who this” 

Ranboo replies, “no one,” and then, “:)”

Going back to the honey talk, Philza asked if Techno had been hiding anything diabolical from him, and Techno asks if he would do such a thing. Philza guesses several things he could use honey for, such as a flying machine, TNT dupers, and a door.

Techno takes him to the vault. 02:32:00. i LOVE peoples reactions to the vault, it’s always so good. Philza responds with a surprised ‘HOLY SHIT’ and some laughing. Techno also confirms my math of 55 withers. 

02:34:10 “i’ve seen this government, on the server, and everything to do with government is just bad. I’ve watched it completely destroy and tear down people’s wills and change people, I’ve seen it change the nicest people into complete and utter tyrants, so...I think it’s about time--”

“We need revenge. [sellout timer goes off] and more importantly, we neED SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE DOT COM” phil joinin anarchy pog? 

anyway that was it ;alskdfjas;f
