Why Mirta is my favourite Winx Club character
I mean, the aesthetic helps. I like redheads and goths, which she is both of, also she has that black sleeveless top which seems to keep popping in my "literally me" characters (Susie from Deltarune, Dipper from Gravity Falls, and Hilda from Pokemon B&W)
Tumblr media
So what do I see in Mirta?... Idk I like her ig, what? I don't have to have super well-thought opinions every time, she's just cool! And you know it!
But I guess a little extra analysis wouldn't hurt would it:
So as we all know, Winx Club's witches aren't the best. The show takes a very simplistic view that fairies are innately good, and witches are innately evil. This essentialist view has been critiqued extensively overtime and for good reason: it's a major missed opportunity to have such a narrow idea of what fairies and witches are, and also is just not very original. Witches and witchcraft in media have been portrayed extensively as just simply evil with no real explanation. Winx Club could have chosen to have taken a more interesting and original interpretation, but true to the shows mission statement of being brutally average, it doesn't. I've got some of my own ideas of how they could've handled this and I'll probably share those in a future post. But sufficed to say: Winx Club's witches are definitely a disappointment (for a more comprehensive look at witches, see Unicorn of War's video on YouTube about the subject).
But then we have Mirta, the one good witch supposedly. Bar the Trix, the ancestral witches, and maybe Griffin she's probably the most important witch in the show at least earlier on. The fact that she's actually different by being good invites intrigue to her character, she actually believes in something which is really quite cool and a nice standout amongst the rest. The Trix clearly are the mean girls in Cloud Tower with other witches wanting to be like them or to be friends with them. Lucy, Mirta's best friend, is in this camp and is disillusioned with her looks and supposed status and seeks to remedy this by trying to be more like the Trix. Mirta on the other hand doesn't follow this dogma and tries to convince Lucy to stay clear of them. This is great, though as I've said it would've been nice if the show portrayed witches more broadly as being a bit less black and white. Her assistance to the Winxes was cool too informing them of the Trix' plans and actions. Wow! Isn't that so awesome! She was shaping up to be an interesting and well-developed and fleshed out side character and then they remembered it was season 1 and that's illegal so they turn her into a pumpkin so they can forget about her. Why? Because fuck you! That's why! Though seriously, I don't mind in theory she was turned into a pumpkin but like really? She could've been a really fun part of the equation throughout the latter parts of season 1 as like the Winxes' witch counterpart. ALSO, when they bring her back to Alfea in pumpkin form, did they not think to like, ask Faragonda to turn her back? The Trix did the spell pre-dragonflame I highly doubt it's anything Faragonda or at the very least Griffin couldn't handle which I'd imagine they'd probably want to inform her of what'd happen considering she's one of her students?! Man if I was Mirta I'd be PISSED off. #JusticeForMirta. Eventually she's freed from her pumpkinhood and once season 1 concludes she decides to become a fairy and transfers to Alfea. Like with becoming a pumpkin: I don't hate that she does this on principle, but I do think it says a lot about how the show writes its witches that the one they make out to be good-natured ends up choosing to become a fairy. Like the view of fairies and witches is THAT rigid.
Though I also do think it's a fun transgender analogy, the idea of being able to transition from witch to fairy and vice versa. The 4Kids dub takes this idea much more seriously with Mirta being described as "transmagic" and Darcy also states "she claims to be fairy who just so be happened to be born in the wrong body", this appears to be a very intentional parallel to the "born in the wrong body" idea that is often used to explain what being trans feels like*, and this was back in 2007 for crying out loud. Additionally Mirta and Lucy are probably the closest thing the main show has to a queer couple, obviously not canon by any means, but they have a very strong bond and are shown to dance together at the end of season 2 (or was it 3 I forgot). Mirta therefore arguably has the most going for her out of any character when it comes to Queer representation.
*Just to be clear, I know plenty of trans people dislike and discredit the "born in the wrong body" narrative, I'm just pointing it out because it does seem this is what the scriptwriters were aiming for.
I like Mirta a lot because of what she could have been. I really think she's an awesome character who had a lot of potential to be fleshed out way more and serve a more involved role in her allyship with the Winxes in season 1 and beyond. It would've been so cool and she deserved way better. I imagine many would be wondering if I think she should've been part of the Winx as she's probably the second most commonly proposed member besides Roxy to be one, and the answer to that is fairly definitive no. Six to me has always felt like a natural limit for these kinds of groups, any more and it starts to be a bit much, which is why I'm glad Roxy didn't become a proper part of the group when season 5 came around (though she still deserved more than what she got). Simply adding Mirta the Winx would ignore the problem that she doesn't get fleshed out enough as a character. Maybe it could've worked in some alternate timeline but she could've been a useful asset to the Winx and the show as a whole whilst not necessarily being a member.
So that's why I like Mirta, she's a fun character who I will defend that she should've gotten more until the day I die. This gay little goth redhead has been my favourite for a long time and I don't see that changing any time soon. Keep stanning Mirta people.
P.S: I really didn't expect this post to get this long LOL I genuinely was gonna post just the "idk I like her" bit and then move on but I was like "ehh, I'll write a little bit" and then I spent 2 hours writing way this whole thing it's 3am I need spiritual assistance okay BYE.

if not already asked, leon for the character ask :) basic but opinions vary!
(Also asked by @shinekittenace)
Why I like them: I fully expected this guy with his John Cena-esque go getter attitude and aggressively marketable ace to annoy the shit out of me, but the truth is is that hating Leon is like hating a puppy. You just can't. He's just a nice fuckin dude that wants to keep everyone safe even though he's just one man. There's also the fact that he's essentially a grown up ex-protagonist which the game delves into a little with his complicated emotions surrounding losing the title he's had since he was eleven by the end of the game and the fandom's done some FASCINATING psychological deep dives with. 
Why I don’t: I feel like GameFreak failed a bit with show don't tell with him. Some of the ways GameFreak try to make him seem really intelligent and capable are...a little on the nose to say the least. Like for instance him estimating how much Hop has grown during his introduction scene COULD be taken as a hint they don't get to see each other often but nah I really do suspect they wanted the kiddies to be like WOW THIS GUY IS SO SMART HE CAN DO MATH lol. I do kiiiind of suspect the fandom put more effort into analyzing the guy and the kind of havoc being a massive celebrity since the age of 11 can wreak on your personal life than GameFreak ever did but that's very much not a bad thing IMHO. I'm not one of those IF IT'S NOT STRICT CONFIRMED CANON IT'S OF THE DEVIL people (and honestly rather detest them) 
Favorite episode (scene if movie): I...don't think the Anime showcased the better sides of his personality well (he loses the protective streak and just kind of comes off like a self-absorbed manchild that everyone loves because he can defy basic Pokemon battle logic in the same way Ash can. He's a protagonist But Annoying This Time) so I'm not terribly interested in seeing more. 
Favorite season/movie: See above. 
Favorite line: Tbh I don't have one particular standout one immediately coming to mind and I'm feeling too lazy to go through his quotes page rn. His catchphrase IS fun to meme about I will say. 
Favorite outfit: He absolutely kills everything that's not the Sponsorship Cape tbh. The guy has GOOD fashion sense despite the memes, corporate was just holding him back. 
OTP: Raihan/Piers/Leon for reasons I already went into in the Raihan response lol (the vibes between him and Rai are interesting and pretty damn hard to deny but Piers is holding up 90% of my mental health on his bony little shoulders rn and also I wanna see him and Leon interact more) I'd also love he and Sonia to work thier shit out, they are cute as FUCK together in Pokespe 
Brotp: The platonic Raileon enjoyer strikes again. Id also certainly take he and Piers being bros too. Also he and Nemona would be absolutely insufferable together and I'd love to see it someday lol 
Head Canon: One thing that was inspired the anime and a certain infamous wall punching scene is that through no real fault of his own he and Raihan's relationship was actually dangerously close to fraying for a bit. He WANTS to be a good and supportive friend to his favorite person but he's gotten fame and empty adoration pretty much handed to him for long enough that he can't REALLY understand what's going on in Raihan's head, the immense pressure he's putting himself under and the frankly unhealthy behaviors he's starting to develop. It's gonna take the pressure of the championship being gone for Leon to stop being the impossible standard Raihan's harming himself with and start being an uncomplicated source of companionship again. On a brighter note he's a good enough guy that once he becomes Chairman he's gonna prove he deserves that position by taking steps to reverse Rose's power consolidation to make sure no one person can cause that much trouble for the nation of Galar again. He'll prove his worthiness to rule by NOT being a total corporate dictator. 
Unpopular opinion: I've bitched about finding him annoying in the anime enough so instead I'll say I actually don't mind how involved he was in the game plot, it's honestly kind of weird other adults HAVEN'T been like "why are we letting random ten year olds go into very dangerous situations unaccompanied" before if you think about it
A wish: The same as the others, I'd love to see him again IF he's not miserable or acting like an ass. 
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Don't get lost in spacetime my neurodivergent king you've been through enough 🤞🤞🤞
5 words to best describe them: The tragedy of Superman, Pokemonned. 
My nickname for them: Lee suffices.

HOW DID THE CHAIN MEET IN YOUR STEVEN UNIVERSE AU???
HOW DID TIME BECOME…TIME?!
ARE THE GODDESSES THE DIAMONDS? AND IF THEY ARE ARE THEY LIKE THE DIAMONDS IN THE SHOW???
WHAT IS RAVIO?? IS HE LIKE- A GEM THAT WAS CUT FROM THE SAME CRUST/KINDERGARTEN AS LEGEND???
TELL ME ABOUT IT SAHDE
OKAY
HELLO(I just got from my nap, sorry for the wait)
FOR THE FIRST QUESTION
All heroes, instead of having a triforce, they have a shard of First’s gem, also called the Shards of Courage. These shards are made of basically just Light because that was Hylia’s parting gift, to make his shards shine brighter than the morning sky. Ask the chain, except Sky, they fucking hate it. It’s Sky’s nightlight by the way. It’s like a naturally made flash bang. It’s an activation thing, so it’s not always there.
I don’t know why I explained that last part but whatever.
I actually haven’t thought about how they met, but I suppose we could stick with the iconic dream montage. Like, they all pass out randomly and suddenly First is talking to them like, “Hyrule needs her heroes to assemble and-“ blah blah blah
A lot of them probably ignore him, but some days later, when they all end up through a portal, surrounded by each other with their bright ass shards, they definitely believe the magic dream man.
SECOND QUESTION
Time is a fusion between Fierce and Mask
I should also clarify that Majora and Fierce were never masks, their gems were put in stasis. Skull Kid and Mask were able to gem those gems out of stasis(I didn’t think about how yet) and I guess the final fight was like a Pokemon fight and I love that idea so much but it’s also so stupid-
SO WHAY HAD HAPPENED WAS, AFTER THE BIG TERMINA FIASCO,
Mask and Fierce were going to part ways, but Fierce has been in stasis for so long, he knew that the surface had changed. Not only that, but being in stasis for so long made him weak. It made Majora and Fierce weaker than they used to be.
So Mask, still in a existential crisis, was like “we can be travelers together then” because mask didn’t want to seem like he used Fierce (even though he kinda did) so he offered to be travelers together with Fierce.
My boy Fierce took that “together” the wrong way and kinda forced Mask to fuse with him.
THEN BOOM, TIME EXISTS
Mask is kind of shaken like, “What the fuck?”
Fierce is kinda like, “Isn’t this what you meant?”
Mask is like, “No!” Mask then uses they mirror shield. “I mean…”
So now they’ve been fused for a good while. They also just feel safer inside the fusion because they know that if one fumbles, the other has their back.
I also have a feeling that no gem truly knows what it means to be married, so when marriage was proposed to Time, he was kinda just-🧍🏼‍♂️
Then Malon(I’m keeping her human…hylian) explained it sort of like, “Marriage is like promising to be best friends forever-“
“Then me and Fierce are married?”
“NO-“
THIRD QUESTION
I would give the Goddesses Diamonds. Nayru gets Blue, Farore gets Yellow, Din gets White, Hylia gets Pink.
Hylia gets pink because she is all over the place. But she is actually shattered too. She shattered herself after First got shattered so her shards(Shards of Wisdom) could be beside First’s for all eternity. You know Demise’s hating ass shards(Shards of Power) are also there, tearing shit up🥰🥰🥰
The other diamonds, Nayru, Farore, and Din, just monitor what the shard wielders are doing and making sure Hyrule doesn’t fall in on itself.
FORTH QUESTION
Yes, Ravio was born in the same Kindergarten as Legend. The same hole too. He was made after Legend though and came out “deformed”. Physically, Ravio doesn’t look really deformed, but other amethysts disagree. He’s skinnier and weaker and far more in the mind(smarter) than he should be.
That being said, my boy did not have fun while trying to serve his diamond. So he ran away. He attempted many times to run away, in turn, he was kind of tortured by his “siblings”. Don’t worry, there’s no crack, but other amethyst would forgive and forget in a solid three human years, but Ravio? Those nights are engraved into him gem.
In order to truly escape, he had the help of an opal(Hilda) they kinda just hang out together until they find another amethyst(Legend) on earth and started spying on him and WOW ANOTHER GAME INCOMING
Kinda dropped backstory there whoopsie😅

A few questions about Rari because I love his fat fuckin thighs him a totally normal amount:
1. What are his buildups like? Long? Short? Vocal? Silent? Big guy probably needs some sorta warning that you’re about to be in the literal line of fire. (Granted, it would also be pretty funny if they just snuck up on him. Poor dude)
2. Can he hold back effectively if he needed to? If not I volunteer as tribute to help him out. (Though I’m not sure how much help I’d be with his sensitive snoot.)
3. How does he feel about his sneezes? Based off of that VERY sexy clipped image of him teasing his party mate, I would guess he’s not too sensitive about it; but, I figured having a slightly destructive sneeze would make for some embarrassing situations.
4. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HIDE HIM FROM US FOR SO LONG!?! /j
4. Is her sensitive to perfumes or other strong smells?
Thank you for your absolutely tasty art and patience with my long ass questions! Here’s a cookie! 🍪
Howdy Anon!! (is that you Rari Anon? Or are we adding another to the Rari cult?) No need to cross it out, I love his fat fuckin thighs too ;) ~ but woah look at all these questions! And this is a good woah, thank you so much for all of these!!
1. He's got a range of buildups when it comes to those literally hot sneezes of his. When his sneezes come about from random occurrence, he's got short, but vocal buildups that are loud enough to let people in the immediate vicinity know "uh oh, time to skedaddle!" before that series of fiery sneezes is released. When it's caused by his allergies, pollen to be exact, he has long, breathy buildups that start out silent, but get more and more vocal the closer his sneezes get to coming out. He hates Spring because it always takes him near a full minute of building up to sneeze (unless of course someone were to help him speed it up :3). When it comes to his dust allergy, he has a much shorter and more silent buildup, the only sound being two or three big breaths and his left foot repeatedly stamping the ground in anticipation. And finally, his feather allergy. Hoo boy. The big man doesn't even get so much as a second of buildup if a feather comes close to his poor sensitive nose, let alone touches it (god forbid get stuck in a nostril). One second he's fine, the next, a flurry of fiery sneezes so rapid you wouldn't think there'd be any real power behind them (you'd be wrong. So wrong.) are erupting out of him like a volcano. Oh and before I move on! His sick sneezes! Similar to his feather sneezes, he doesn't get much warning at all, but thankfully he doesn't produce much, if any fire when sick, meaning the only thing you need to avoid is a face full of spray and mess (unless you're into that, then don't avoid it :3)
2. Holdbacks. It really depends on what's bothering his sensitive snoot (cute choice of words anon >:3). Pollen allergies, he can hold back if need be. Dust allergies are much more difficult for him to hold back and he'll probably need your help there ;)~. Feathers? Nope. No chance. You'd probably have a better chance stopping a semi truck hurtling towards you at 70 mph (~113 kph) with your body. If you tried, prepare to look like Ash Ketchum after his fire type Pokemon set him on fire in the original anime lmao- As for his sick sneezes, they do sneak up on him because he's so out of it, but if you're watching him, you can help him hold back. When sick, his nose will often start violently twitching and flaring a second before he sneezes. If you're quick enough, you can pinch his nose, push a finger up to that adorable septum, or just completely cover and hold his nose (though you'll have to keep a good hold on it if you do that, it gets very twitchy when you hold him back :3).
3. Before discovering the kink, he didn't much mind his sneezes except for when something catches fire and causes quite a bit of embarassment. He's so used to sneezing that it's near unconscious to try and sneeze in a direction that will cause the least damage. However, upon discovering the kink, he began to see his sneezes in a much different light. Not at all embarrassed about them of course, but enjoying how they feel, how they make others with the kink feel, that kinda stuff. He turned into a real sneeze slut huh? As for the aforementioned destructive sneezes, well, he he gets very embarrassed with those, before and after discovering the kink. Going back to the feather pillow tavern incident from the last ask, he had forgotten to ask what kind of bedding is used. Upon reaching his room, his nose was already twitching, but he played it off as simple dust tickling his nose (oh how wrong he was). Upon lying down in the bed, he only had a couple seconds before his poor sensitive snoot (I love that term for him hehe) was erupting with huge fiery sneezes, leading to his party pulling him out of the tavern, still sneezing. As said before, everybody in the tavern made it out safely, but it was safe to say that Rari was thoroughly embarassed and guilty towards having burned down the tavern-hotel. He then had to do 3 months of community service to pay for the rebuilding of the tavern.
4. I'M SORRYYYYY I SET A PRECEDENT WITH MY OTHER CHARACTERS AND I THOUGHT NOBODY WOULD LIKE HIM, I APOLOGIZE FOR MY SINS 😭
4. That's a great question actually! He is in fact sensitive to various perfumes, especially those with wood like scents. The woody scented ones are often so potent that it'll have his nose flushing purple-blue, nostrils flaring, and eyes watering really very quickly :3~ He's also slightly sensitive to various cleaning agents. Not enough to make him sneeze on its own, but if you happen to "accidentally" touch that already twitchy snoot? Well... Prepare for a brilliant light show :3
We did it!! That was honestly so fun answering those questions, thank you so much for asking the questions in the first place! (I hope there aren't any egregious typos, misspelled words, bad grammar, etc in there because I am NOT editing this /lh)
Oh and also: gasp what a coincidence! I have a cookie for you too! 🍪 Thank you very much for yours :3
Always feel free to ask as many long as questions as you want!

i dont give a fuck if legendaries or sentient pokemon or fallers and shit interact. tom may not believe you at first but he wont say anything. if you are affiliated with evil teams i also dont mind but tom will be incredibly hostile towards you.
useless tom fun facts
i need to come up with stupid bullshit about him or ill die ill fucking DIEE

I've only ever said awful things about you on here. Let me make it up to you.
-We went on vacation once and I was afraid that the man at the air bnb we were staying in would break in, and instead of making fun of me, you very seriously said "Don't worry, I'll help you put a desk in front of the door." -You gave me my first undercut, and taught me some makeup skills, and showed me The Owl House, which is possibly the greatest gift anyone could have given me -One time I got sick and had to sit by the toilet on the floor of your bathroom and you stayed up with me all night, telling me funny stories to distract me so I wouldn't be afraid of throwing up -Our first fight was because I was sick and wouldn't take the medicine you wanted me to take. It was because you cared so much. -You loved your father and brothers fiercely. I'm sorry I never met them. -You bought a heated blanket so that you could keep your room cold when I slept over, even though you were always freezing -You loved to do arts and crafts! -You loved the south, and got me so excited to try sweet tea. I finally did, right before you died. -I never got to see you act, but I know you were talented. I wish I could have seen it. -You were an incredibly talented cosplayer -You were a devoted best friend, and C loved you more than anything in the universe. -You were so respectful when I first started using "they" pronouns. I didn't even know until last night, but sometime after we blocked each other, you came out as agender. -You knew EVERYTHING about Pokemon. More than anyone I've ever met. -You were mildly tiktok famous, and did so much for the asexual community on there. -You taught me about the constellations. I'm sorry I don't remember any of it. -You loved nature and it was a joy to see you marveling at everything around you when we went hiking. You messed me up a lot, but I'm not mad at you anymore. I don't love you anymore, not like that, but you will always be my first. You deserved better than a mind that was always working against you. You deserved better than the healthcare system that failed you. I never wanted to see you again, but I wish you were still here anyway. We didn't need to be in each other's lives. It was for the best. But you deserved to still be here. You deserved to turn 27 a few days ago. I've moved on, but a part of me will always be 27, traveling to Brooklyn once a week to see you in the smallest apartment I've ever seen. I don't love you, but I did, and I hope that means something. I hope that, wherever you are, you know that you meant everything to me back then. It's weird, grieving someone you once loved so much and then hated so much. I don't feel either anymore. I just feel sad. I wish you were here. Not so I could see you, but so you could still be here, even though it's without me. Vee, thank you so much for everything you gave me. Some of it was awful, yeah, but some of it was perfect, and I hope you're up there still laughing about my thing for the six flags old man. I never got to say goodbye. I never got closure. But I really hope that you're happy. I really hope that you're at peace. I hope you're no longer in pain. And more than anything, I hope you know that you meant something to this world. Goodbye, Vee. It really was an adventure.

OH AND ALSO  here’s this other pre-typed ask I sent to like, one other mutual 😭 it’s a little long I must warn u 
this.. might not make a lot of sense. but I thought about it as I was getting ready for bed last night and I happened to be looking at artwork of a much older Ash with a reworked team consisting of like, all his most powerful/iconic Pokémon and it just. clicked. 
(specifically Sceptile and greninja are a part of this reworked, all-powerful team. hear me out. also this is a greninja x hawlucha/Sceptile x Snivy/Servine/serperior themed ask sorry 😭)
and, like, of course we all know ash would never  intentionally neglect his other pokemon (what with his rotation teams and all.)
but maybe he’s like, a celebrity, at this point! so he’s always got his aces on hand just in case a fan wants to battle and see his oh-so-iconic Pokémon. Ash is always happy to oblige. 
of course the ‘mons back at the lab don’t really mind this. I mean.. most of them don’t. of course you’ll have a few complaining that they’re getting the short end of the stick (Oshawott in particular comes to mind for me lol) and of course ash takes them out for the occasional fight, too! He’d hate for them to feel neglected.
….but not everyone is all that satisfied with this arrangement. serperior and Hawlucha and particular are still feeling a little resentful. not towards ash, but rather towards their partners! (gasp! who could have seen this coming?!) 
Hawlucha’s a little more accustomed to greninja being gone for longer periods of time (doesn’t mean he enjoys it though..) but serperior isn’t, and even though they both seem composed in the eyes of everyone else, it.. sucks!! 
every so often Hawlucha and Serperior’ll tag along with ash, but serperior doesn’t particularly like always being matched up with weaker opponents. Hawlucha doesn’t mind flaunting his strength, but he does get a little iffy about leaving Noivern by himself so they’re not out with ash too often. 
Greninja and Sceptile love their partners of course but i don’t think either of them realize just how much their absence bugs Hawlucha and Serperior .. 
ik that was kind of a lot lol but what do you think..??? ik serperior can be a little cold herself so I feel like she might give Sceptile the cold shoulder (ironic because the problem was that she missed his presence) and we all know Hawlucha can be stubborn… 
Ohhh some tension, that would be tough, Serperior and Hawlucha not seeing their partners as much and especially Serperior doesn’t know how to handle it since she’s not use to it as much as Hawlucha.
Serperior and Hawlucha would both sulk, alone, and they can’t help just but think ‘You know it’s nice that Ash is a Champion, but I hate much much I don’t see my partner often.’
Like why did they have to go with him? They know why but that doesn’t mean they like it.
Hmm… I’m not good at writing about confrontation, but I feel like between the two, Hawlucha would snap first and say, “Having fun traveling, Greninja?”
And Greninja would ask if something’s wrong and Hawlucha like “Oh I’m perfectly fine.”
And Sceptile noticing Serperior’s somewhat distant behavior saying keeping her head held high. But then hearing upon hearing Hawlucha’s comment, he could click and tease, “Oh someone misses me.”
She’s like “Of course I do, you’re never in the lab.” She missed the days when she and Sceptile would watch the other Pokémon in the lab, the hugs, and cuddles and sleeping together.
Sceptile and Greninja feel bad and they tried to talk saying they didn’t realize how much their absence affected their partner.
They felt better about talking about it but they still miss them.
And eventually, once they do convince Ash to just take them back to the ranch, or Vice versa (Talonflame might tell Hawlucha, ‘Hey I can watch Noivern, now go to your man, move your ***) Pikachu, Infernape and Charizard, etc. can hold down the fort.
A lot of affection and hugs and kisses spending time were given to make it up.
Oh and don’t worry! I don’t mind being asked about Hawlucha x Greninja and Sceptile Snivy/Servine/Serperior! It’s fun to talk to about them!

i was writing tags on that last post and had a childhood nostalgia moment so here's a little storytime about my childhood and early games i played. ehem
imagine you are a little child. you have a ps2 that your dad left behind when he fucked off. your exposure to video games is shitty ps2 movie tie-in games.
your primary school is in a tiny village out in the english countryside.
they had an afterschool 'club' that was really just 2 mothers of kids at the school babysitting kids whose parents couldn't pick them up immediately. image you are there every single school day bc school finishes at 3pm and you are growing up with a working class single mum whose always working long hours to keep a roof over your head because your shitty father doesn't pay child support.
the club's in the school assembly hall so there's a lot of room to run round. they have a table with paper and pencils and felt tips so kids can sit and draw. they have a table with a box full of a mix of lego and mega blocks. there is one empty table just for whatever. in one corner, there is a little crt with a built-in vcr on the floor with some shitty old kids movies on vhs next to it, there are a few beanbags borrowed from the school library (a tiny room that can hardly be called a library but whatever) in front of the tv.
you're an undiagnosed autistic 5 year old that just moved to this school so you just sit in silence playing with lego by yourself and pissing yourself cause you're too autistic to ask to go to the bathroom.
one day. they get an old ps1 for the tv. 3 whole games and no memory card yippeeeee.
the games?
Action Man: Destruction X (anyone remember action man? i had this one doll that came with a snowmobile he could ride that fired giant snowballs out the sides and he had a hole in the back of his head so you could see through the visor on his helmet, it was the COOLEST toy when i got it).
Tweenies: Game Time (if you were a british kid in the early 2000s too poor for cable or whatever, chances are you grew up watching cbeebies and cbbc, maybe citv. my memory is vague but back before the digital switchover and the reign of freeview, when all we had was like 5 analogue channels, when i was young enough to watch cbeebies, i'm pretty sure they had like a cbeebies block and a cbbc block on bbc two in the morning before school)
RAYMAN. finally. a game that wasn't a tie-in, and not only that but it offered passwords in addition to saving so even though we didn't have a memory card, we could write a password down.
rayman was magical. beautifully drawn and animated. to my little child eyes it was just like a cartoon. it was also hard as balls so even with our passwords, we never got very far at all but i was obsessed. whiling away the hours after school fumbling around the first few levels every day. one time an older kid who was actually good at video games was at the club and made some actual progress while i watched mesmerised, had my mind blown when he got the helicopter hair powerup thing.
i later got a ds lite and the first game i got was rayman ds which was a ds port of rayman 2. fucking awesome. got stuck for a while until someone told me that if you let the walking shell chase you in a circle, it gets tired and you can ride it. COOLEST SHIT EVER. got stuck again cause i always got lost in the fire temple place and then on time i got jumpscared by one of those fucking scary bastards popping out from behind a rock and i didn't want finish it until years later when i got an action replay lol.
i stopped playing rayman bc someone let me play new super mario bros on their ds and then i got obsessed with mario until pokemon entered my life and platinum released here may 22nd 2009, the day before my 10th birthday and guess what my dad got me in one of his many attempts to make me not grow up hating him.
there. i'm done. i did make friends with other regulars at the club eventually, that's how i got into pokemon. we'd pretend to be pokemon and i had a sonic oc in like 2007 i would pretend to be sometimes. my exposure to sonic was sonic gems collection for ps2 but in 2007 my dad got me a psp and sonic rivals. sonic gems collection had a museum with unlockable art and sonic rivals had unlockable cards with art so i learned about other sonic games through these images until i got internet and watched the cutscenes on youtube lmao.

First two days of Tears of the Kingdom.
Tears of the Kingdom came out on my birthday.
Back when I was a sprightly lad in my late twenties, Breath of the Wild was a revelation to me. Before that, every game was a plaformer, a Pokemon, or Minecraft. I'd never played an open world game and suddenly I had the caviar of open world games. I remember that summer when I spent months mostly fishing, before I got so annoyed with the Bokoblins interrupting me that I went down a rabbit hole that ended in defeating Ganon. Fishing was a lot easier after that.
Six years later, Breath of the Wild was my gateway drug; I played Skyrim, No Man's Sky, every Pokemon game desperate to emulate BOTW, and now that wondrous experience exploring Hyrule for the first time...is in the past.
It took me a day for Tears of the Kingdom to really click with me. Instead of starting out in the wild, the Great Sky Island is a garden, and a ruined city. Mechanics and machines are the main event now, instead of just the simple, intuitive foraging and strategy of the first game. It makes for a less relaxing but more creative experience.
One time I had to figure out how to get a Zonai Wing flying without a runway to escape a sky island while also trying not to freeze. I died maybe five times before figuring out the chain of events was:
Ultrahand the Zonai Wing into the air and drop it
Start Zonai Fan
Get on the Zonai Wing
Rewind the Zonai Wing
Although I know the building system was inspired by the crazy vehicles and flying machines people made in BOTW, the physics of the Zonai devices can't help but make me think of No Man's Sky. *sighs with happy memories* 😊
Ultimately my favorite experience of the tutorial section on the Great Sky Island was getting on a vehicle and just walking around freely on it while it moved! Just this simple feature must have taken so much programming, no wonder it took so long. It blows my mind to get on a glider and just walk around it while it's sailing through the air.
But it wasn't until I finally dived off the island that it all clicked. I was home, in the good old "Wild". The fields and forests of Hyrule. After some wandering, it all came back to me. No planet in No Man's Sky can hold a candle to seeing a shrine in the distance and climbing, swimming, and slashing your way to everything in order to get to it - and then getting distracted and going to do something else anyway.
This landscape feels real. These trees feel real - oh crap what the - the trees are Alolan Exeggutor now?! The first time a tree came to life was hilarious. And they wallop you EXACTLY like Alolan Exeggutor. Why does the forest hate me.
Horriblins have a great name and they are weird. This was another fun "what the hell is that" moment. For instance, I got too close to a pit of gloom, and hell itself rose out of it to throroughly chase me down and murder me. That was weird, but I will definitely remember it! It's always fun and unusual to encounter a brand new monster, especially since they have a slightly different art direction than the old enemies, since you know, six years have passed.
Purah managed to re-age into her design from Hyrule Warriors! What a coincidence. It makes total sense because enough time has passed and totally isn't because they wanted to keep her a teenage girl.
The Skyview Tower is incredibly amusing. From invasively grabbing Link with recycled Guardian arms to shooting him into space on a bungee cord, Purah is pretty savage. I can't wait to do again for the next tower. It's so much better than the Sheikah towers.
And now I'm so into the game that I have to set my 2:00 am rule again. Vehicles building is starting to come more naturally, but to be honest, the whole vehicle system sticks out from the rest of the gameplay.
That's my overall experience. The new features are wondrous, original, and sometimes they clash with the simpler, more organic elements of the Breath of the Wild that are still an important part of the game. You can get stuck in certain places and be forced to teleport because the new gameplay style they start you out with makes you wait for glider. This game forces you to be resourceful and think on your toes a lot sooner than Breath of the Wild. But just like Breath of the Wild, it's still addictive enough to stop yourself at 2:00 in the morning just to get some sleep so you're not too tired to play tomorrow.
After all, I'm not getting any younger. I need my sleep.
Have fun everyone. 👍

chicken scratch
This is the earliest tanzaku-related writing I could find, and I am putting it in because I feel it's still somewhat accurate after all this time.
Due to how early it is however, this was still made during the time it was just a really grimdark pokemon story (with emmet as albatross no less). Please keep this in mind while reading, and know that part is no longer accurate. I have since oc-fied the entirety of the story. This also holds the origami bird plotline I have since left behind.
Summary: Raven gets left alone. He meets a magpie.
When I was left behind it was late autumn. That must’ve been a purposeful decision. 
Where we lived it got cold very easily. Air would accumulate on the peaks until the rain became sharp hail. Soft snow wouldn’t be much better, after a while. 
Have you heard the story of the overconfident man who went into the freezing wilds with only a Herdier for company? He figured he would be back home before long. Then a blizzard hit, and he was stuck where he was. He knew how to build a fire, but his fingers were too cold to hold the matches and sticks. He couldn’t even strike the twigs, for the snow kept smashing it out. When he finally lit the matches, all he could do was hold them close to himself like that little match girl in the fairy tales. Even as they burned the flesh off his hands, he kept them close. 
Just like the little girl, he died in the cold, alone, with even his Herdier running away. The Herdier had no idea that it had occurred to the man to try to attack it and warm his hands in its blood. He was so desperate he was even willing to kill his close companion. A fool. 
Not like me. 
Murkrow always kept close by me. His body was as scrawny as mine, so it wasn’t warm, but I still clung tightly to him every night. 
At first, I thought I was just left by mistake. We were supposed to go to an amusement park that day. I had never been to one before, and all the pictures I’ve seen looked like such fun. It was colorful, and it even lit up with fireworks at night. 
Our home was not colorful. We hardly had anything. It felt like a mouth at times, one we freely slept in despite being surrounded by sharp fangs. I often pretended not to see the Shuppet that always hung on the rafters. I wonder if they’re still there. 
I was excited to finally go. Perhaps then we would finally all be happy. Perhaps the yelling would end. Perhaps the bruises would magically go away. Perhaps we’ll finally be warm at night. Perhaps my parents would remember they love me like I loved them. 
We stopped at a rest stop. I waited for them to pick me up. 
And waited. 
And waited. 
And waited... 
It was getting so cold out. And dark. 
Yet they never came for me. 
I met Murkrow at that stop. I thought I disliked Pokémon before him, because the only ones I saw on a constant basis were those Shuppet. I never liked their gazes. They clung to the eaves outside and the wooden beams inside, and their gray bodies would always blend in with the dark. I would only see their eyes, manic and hungry, and imagine their slavering mouths just waiting to strike. 
Yet somehow every morning, I would still always wake up intact. 
Murkrow never looked at me like I was a piece of meat. He knew I was hungry, just like him, and lonely, just like him. He was my friend when no one else was. 
But the nights still grew longer, still grew colder. I always had to keep moving in an attempt to regain feeling of my limbs. There was no snow in the city, but it didn’t stop it from trying. Frost and icicles still accumulated on windows and roofs and bit at my hands and Murkrow’s wings. The cold hated us both. It hated everything. It just never struck at us until we were thrown out into the streets, and now it kept nipping and playing with us like a Glameow with a Rattata. 
It was having too much fun to kill us. 
I first saw Lady while we were moving again. At least we had wanted to move, it was raining when we tried. We were holed up under where a roof stood out, Murkrow in my arms as I kept trying to pace. 
She had waited until I noticed her first. I don’t know how long she had been standing there, dressed like she had been at a funeral but looking like she had ever shed a tear. The rain hammered against her black umbrella, and she was holding it close like it had been made of acid. 
She had looked me up and down, and I had heard a low croaking from behind her. A Honchkrow had shambled out, sticking close to her like my Murkrow did. Was she like me? Surely, she was. We even had the same bird. Mine was younger, but was still part of the same lineage. 
She lifted a hand to point at me, almost leisurely. “You,” she said. “Are you lost?” 
Her voice was croaky like her bird’s. 
When I nodded, she glanced at the roof I was standing under. “Do you hate the rain too?” 
I nodded again. 
“Do you hate the city too?” 
I nodded again. 
“Do you hate the people who left you here too?” 
It hadn’t just been my family. So many people would pass me, every single day. They never once looked at me, even when I called out, or even when I was crying after a bad dream. When I had tried to grab at them, to get any kind of attention, they would strike me away and run. 
Some even drove me out. They would sic scary things at me when I tried to beg. If they didn’t go for me, they would go for Murkrow. Murkrow wasn’t strong. Neither was I. 
I nodded again. 
She never smiled, not once, but I could see her eyes crease up at my response. 
“You are like me. Come with me.” 
She didn’t hold out her hand, but I had followed anyway. 
I live with her now. It’s warmer here, and there’s so many birds. I even dress like a bird! I guide an entire flock of people dressed like birds, and they always do when I say. 
If they don’t, Lady told me I can strike them. I can be stronger than them. I can hit them if they cross me, and I can tell Murkrow to pluck their eyes out if they keep arguing. 
But for some reason I’m not allowed to do that to the three Others with her. I wish I could. Lady keeps them close, but I don’t know why. They don’t like her. I do. I should be the only one close to her. 
Owl never says anything to me. He just glares at me and shoves me out of the way. 
I like scaring Mynah though. I love seeing them jump out of their skin and seeing that constant smile of theirs waver. I keep telling them if they learn to respect Lady I won’t do that anymore. They haven’t learned yet, so I will keep scaring them. Someday I’ll wipe that stupid grin off their face. 
I can’t scare Albatross though. I try, but he always looks at me with a bemused smile. He always asks me if I “have anything else to do with my time.” It makes me mad. It makes me so mad. I hate him, I hate his smile, and I hate his big sharp bird. Lady shouldn’t keep him around. 
She shouldn’t keep anyone around. 
No one except me. 
Only I should join her back to her old world. I’ve heard it was pretty, colorful, better than this world ever was. Lady’s going to do something about it. 
Good. 
I hate this place. I hate people. 
Last night I had the dream about the beach and the gramophone again. I hate that dream too. The gramophone keeps playing the music box tune I hate, and it never stops even if I smash it to a pulp. It never stops even when I stomp on it and throw it into the sea. 
When I woke up the origami bird I threw away was back by my pillow. I don’t know why. I get a weird feeling from it. I keep having that dream whenever it’s near me. 
I want to find whoever keeps folding it back together and putting it back and have Murkrow eat their eyes. That will make him big and strong, to help me. To help Lady. 
I only live to help Lady Magpie.

Please any and eberythign for Guzma with a nonbinary reader who is going to cut their hair short? I know I am gonna do it in an it a week and I know I am finally gonna look more like ME but I also know that lots of the people at the place I work at are gonna be like " But you were so PRETTY with your long hair ):" and it's hard to not feel a bit self conscious
A/N: I whole heartedly feel your pain, when I wanted to cut my hair short my mom did everything she could to stop it but I got it anyways and have had my hair short for some time now!! You’ll look wonderful im sure of it!!
Again no gif because tumblr hates me.
:Guzma X NB! Reader HC’s- Haircut:
You had finally made the decision to bite the bullet and cut your hair, you were sick of the feeling that your long hair gave you, not only was the up keep stupid and expensive but also you didn’t think it really fit you
You didn’t mention it to the gang due to the poor responses you had gotten at work, most of which sadly brought up your assigned birth and made things even more bleh-
Even though the squad would never, and they would beat those peoples asses!! But in your mind it was better safe than sorry :(
The day the appointment was made came and you had told Guzma and plumes you were going out to get some groceries and do other things with your pokemon too
Guzma tried to come a long, being the subtly cling man he is but plumes held him back for you as you skedaddled out the door and off to get your hair whacked!
The appointment wasn’t too long and at the end of it you felt fresh, happy and finally you felt like you!! It was such a euphoric feeling as you stepped into the Alolan sun and felt the cool breeze tickle the back of your neck
You came home and immediately the crew was showering you with compliments, both directly and indirectly
“Woah they look so cool!!”
“Way to rock the new do (y/n)!”
It brought a big happy goofy grin to your face to hear so many compliments but you felt nervous about Guzmas reaction. After all some folks didn’t have the best reactions to decisions such as this
When you stepped into his throne room he was of course initially shocked but he jumped up to his feet to greet you asap
He gave you a little kiss on your nose and began to run his fingers through your shorter locks with wonder “I like it! It looks good on you lightning bug!”
Hearing his approval and support made you so happy, especially as he played with your hair, “now if we can only convince you to dye it!! I think you’d look cool in purple.” He jested earning a soft punch from you on his pudge
The whole day Guzma and the crew complimented you and treated you like a monarch. Guzma also helps you do at home cuts for when moneys tight or you just don’t want to get out of the house and even sometimes for the fun of it styles it like his
At the end of the day, long hair, short hair or even no hair he loves you all the same

warnings: swearing
notes: this is my first haikyuu request!!
Tumblr media
YAMAGUCHI
baby boy is intrigued to say the least
he’s also, you know, very intimidated
karasuno is hosting volleyball camp for the weekend so a few of schools from the area come over
karasuno lost a match so they go do a lap up the hill and back down
yamaguchi shakily walks back into the gym, panting and sweating profusely from the run
two other teams are playing so he decided to watch and catch his breath
it’s getting pretty intense until your team’s setter sets the ball for you
you run up and leap in the air, your brows furrowed with determination and tongue sticking slightly out, and you spike ball, slamming it to the opponents ground
and it’s slams so fucking loud
yamaguchi mouth drops, impressed by your raw power
by then tsukishima has joined him, standing alongside yamaguchi
“sheesh” tsukishima mutters at how hard you struck the ball
meanwhile, yamaguchi’s jaw is still on the floor as he watches you with sparkles in his eyes
your teammates erupt in cheer while you’re just like 😐👍
yamaguchi tells tsukishima that they should congratulate your team (he’s talking about you mostly)
and tsuki is like “okay have fun doing that!”
and yamaguchi is like “w-wait! please go with me? they’re scary 🥺”
and tsukishima is like “this is so stupid...” but he ends up going with yamaguchi nskdicnwiwjs
you’re drinking from your water bottle when you feel a slight tap on your shoulder
you whirl around to see tsukishima and yamaguchi LITERALLY standing like—
⠀ ⠀ ⠀(\__/)
(•ㅅ•)
 _ノ ヽ ノ\_
`/ `/ ⌒Y⌒ Y ヽ
(  (三ヽ人  /   |
| ノ⌒\  ̄ ̄ヽ  ノ
ヽ___>、___/
   |( 王 ノ〈 (\__/)
   /ミ`ー―彡\(•ㅅ•)
  / ╰ ╯ \/ \>
yamaguchi pipes up from where he stands, slightly behind tsukishima
“that last spike you did was really cool!” he squeaks, mentally slapping himself for how he voice cracked on “cool”
you blink in surprise before you gently smile
and yamaguchi, in his head of course, is like “HOLY SH*T THEY SMILED??!&)&8:9:”
“thank you” you reply, “i don’t think you told me your name”
TSUKISHIMA
when i tell you this man is not FAZEDDDDD
like he does not give a shit how intimidating you are
he notices that you’re a great volleyball player and that you’re a great coordinator
but that’s where it ends
he’s not intrigued enough/doesn’t care about the motivations of other people
you both walk up to the lil fountain outside the gym to refill your water bottle at the same time
you both sorta halt, before tsukishima motions for you to go first
you nod and thank him quietly, moving to refill your water bottle
tsuki feels his eyebrows furrow when a loud yell suddenly splits the silence, already recognizing who that might be
he turns around and of course, it’s hinata yelping and dodging kageyama’s blows, while the latter yells profanities at hinata
tsukishima sees that you’ve turned around too, trying to see what was going on
“what a couple of morons...” tsukishima mutters to you
you blink at tsukishima, straight faced as ever, before saying, “you shouldn’t bad mouth your team mates”
MY BOY SIEZES UP SO F*CKIN QUICK DUCHDKDJD
he thought since you were quiet and serious looking, that you kinda hated everyone/were pessimistic
you thought WRONG
he turns back to you with raised eyebrows, a little surprised and slight embarrassed about being scorned
you just smile at him and tsuki is surprised for a second time
“see you inside” you nod politely and before walking past him
get rekt tsukishima
TENDOU
yes, my slightly odd looking yet handsome son
he is NOT intimidated by you—AT ALL (have you seen his bestie? 😭)
in fact, the first time tendou sees you, he watches you for like 17 seconds and is like “oh...oh i’m bout to ANNOY TF OUTTA OF THEM”
i feel like he just wants to single out serious people and f*ck around with them—all in good taste though!
will try and goad you into messing up from across the net
but you’re just like 😐😑😐
switches tactics by trying giving you odd compliments
“y/n, right? i like the curvature of your spine,,,very unique 😌”
or “you have such delicate earlobes, y/n!”
if anything, he’s annoying both his teammates and yours
but he’s not done
starts crooning these lil songs about you, that he’s making up on the spot
he’s still not throwing you off your game but you are glancing over at him with a strange expression on your face
that just encourages him even more
eventually, semi smacks the back of tendou’s neck and gives him the “stfu” look
tendou glances over to see your lips twitching into a smile and he’s just smiles real big and wide at you
BOKUTO
my precious boy
he’d probably see you, standing there off to the side from where your teammates are huddled
and he thinks “omg,,,they’re shy,,,and lonely,,,I HAVE TO HELP THEM!”
but you’re just zoning out or something, completely fine
bokuto is trying to collect introverts like they’re f*ckin pokemon cards
he thinks he’s good with all kinds of people (and he is!) but he thinks he’s especially good with quieter people
after your match, bokuto bounds up to you with akaashi trailing behind (he’s there for damage control mostly)
“hey there!” bokuto smiles and your eyes slightly widen at how his voice booms throughout the whole gym. “your team did amazing out there! i couldn’t believe how coordinated you all are! and the way that you flew? your spikes could use a bit more force but you’re amazing either way—”
you generally feel overwhelmed by hyperactive people, but you’re REALLY feeling it now
especially considering how tired you are after that match and how fast Bokuto is talking
you honestly can’t keep up with what he’s saying to you, his eyes glimmer are glimmering and his whole face is lit up and DAMN you don’t have the heart to interrupt him
so you just nod at him with wide eyes like “yup, mhm, yea, that’s right, of course”
when he finally finished his spiel, you take the opportunity to ask for his name
and you’re like “oh! yeah! you’re one of the top 3 aces in the nation right?”
bokuto’s grin widens even further, but before he can respond, akaashi cuts in with “top 5 actually”
and bokuto whirls around with a look that screams utter betrayal—like B*TCH!!&/8:73?
“that’s really impressive!” you smile and bokuto’s mouth drops because DID YOU JUST MAKE A FACIAL EXPRESSION???
he’s hyping himself up like “aha, didn’t even talk to them for FIVE minutes and i already cracked them 😤”
SUNA
he’s just gonna stare at you
like a creepy ass owl or something
he sees your minding your own business respectfully and he’s like “...this feels insulting”
he thinks that YOU think that you’re some tough ass b*tch
MF, I’M JUST MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS 😭
suna: they’re trying to intimidate us
ojiro: ...they’re just standing there
suna: you think they’re trying to intimidate us?
ojiro: no, i don’t actually—
suna: nah, they’re definitely trying to intimidate us
so suna tries to intimidate YOU—reverse uno that b*tch
will stare at you from across the court with his hands shoved in his shorts like—🧍‍♂️
it honestly is a little unsettling because you just see this tall ass, lanky figure in your peripheral vision and your turn to see this guy STARING AT YOU LIKE—👁‍🗨👄👁‍🗨
he scares your teammates too dkfjdkshs
if you’re team is playing his, he will forcefully block your spikes and then just stare back at you LIKE DAMN, YOU GOOD?
the whole thing lets up, when your teams go to shake hands
you take his hand in yours and give him a firm shake, genuinely smiling
“you play well!” you compliment
“...you do too” he says hesitantly and you nod slightly before letting go of his hand and going to shake Osamu’s
he tells ojiro later that you had a “firm grip” and ojiro’s like “...mhm 😒”
Tumblr media
notes: i wanna write more haikyuu (specifically timeskip)! also not me projecting the odd feeling i have for suna where it’s like a cross of “everything about you annoys me” and “damn u kinda hot 🙄”. my love/hate relationship with aquarius men 😌

The Other Woman
Pairing: Billy Russo x Reader 
Tumblr media
A/N: Soooo. No one asked for this one and I have prompts in my inbox and a multi chapter Billy x OC story I'm working on. Yet… this happened. I was working on an assignment for uni and this popped into my head. Billy lives in my head rent free and I'm not even mad about it. Enjoy lmaooo 
Warnings: cursing, slight angst but not really, lots of fluff (literally and figuratively). It's just a bunch of cute bullshit, don't mind me looool 
---------
Your nails tapped the coffee cup as you sat outside the cafe deep in thought. There was only one thing on your mind. Billy was cheating on you. There was no other explanation for his behaviour the past week and the knowledge of what he'd done was eating away at you. It started a week ago. He'd slip out after work hours saying something came up. Sometimes he wouldn't even tell you where he was going and when you asked, he'd say 'work' as he avoided your gaze before slipping out. Billy couldn't lie to you, you knew him too well for that. You knew his tells and he didn't really lie to you. But you knew when he wouldn't look you in the eye that he wasn't being honest.
Then there was his phone. He'd be on it more than usual and it was distracting him. The night before, Frank had called him and you knew it was Frank because you'd seen the name popping up on his screen. You'd both been watching a movie on the sofa together as you tried to convince yourself that Billy wouldn't cheat on you. But when he excused himself to the bedroom, your curiosity burned. Why would he need to sneak off to speak to Frank? 
So you'd crept over to where the door was open by a crack and held your breath as you listened.
"Yeah, I know…. I'll just tell her I need to work again… I don't think she knows… yeah, yeah, I know… I can't wait for you to meet her, man. She's perfect,"
Those words felt like a slap to the face and a punch to the gut all rolled into one. Billy was cheating on you. Billy was cheating on you and Frank knew about it. Frank who was one of your closest friends, the one who introduced you to Billy in the first place. You'd gone back to the sofa as you dwelled in your misery and betrayal and when Billy had come back out with a wide smile on his face you'd felt sick. But you couldn't bring yourself to ask him, to question him or tell him what you'd heard. You were scared of what he might say. Scared of what this all meant. 
You and Billy had been together for almost two years now and you lived together. You knew of his past but never once had you felt insecure about being with him. He loved you, and you wholeheartedly believed he did. So this felt like it completely blindsided you and your head was all over the place. 
That morning Billy was gone by the time you woke which was nothing new since he often let you sleep when he got up to work. But you'd come to the cafe by lunch because you were drowning in your thoughts back at home. The home you shared with him. 
You blew out a breath, grabbing your cell from your pocket as you rang Anvil. You had a gut feeling and you wanted confirmation. His secretary picked up the phone and you sighed before asking something you dreaded the answer to.
"Hey, Annie. Is Billy there? I need to talk to him," you said softly. The older woman cleared her throat down the phone before speaking.
"He's not here, Y/N. He took the day off," she said warily. Well then. You thanked her quickly before hanging up, the lump lodged in your throat getting bigger. 
How could it all have gone so wrong? You stood, tossing the half drank coffee in the trash as you made your way home with a broken heart. You hardly expected Billy to be sitting on the sofa when you got home. But there he was in all his glory. A burgundy sweater with his jeans and boots, hair slicked back like always. You felt like you were hanging on by a thread. 
He smiled when he saw you, standing up and making his way over.
"I thought you had work," your cold tone stopped him in his tracks as he looked at you cautiously. 
"I took the day, had some things I needed to do," he replied easily. Things he needed to do. More like someone he needed to do. Tense didn't even begin to cover how you were feeling. 
"Look… there's someone here I want you to meet," Billy said hesitantly, glancing to the closed bedroom door. He really wouldn't just… The string of composure you were holding onto snapped.
"Is this some kind of joke?!" You yelled. He looked shocked, eyes wide and confused as he tilted his head.
"Uh… what?" He asked carefully.
"It's bad enough you're having an affair that apparently Frank knows all about but you've brought her here?! You want me to meet her?!" You were incredulous at his audacity. You wondered if he'd suffered a head injury a week ago or something. 
Billy blinked at you with his dark eyes for a moment before he burst out laughing. But when he saw your tearful eyes glaring at him, his laughter died instantly.
"You… you think I'm cheatin' on you?" He asked slowly, like he was talking to a toddler. Your brows furrowed watching him warily as he walked over to you. 
"You've been acting weird all week, Billy. And I heard you on the phone last night. I heard you talking to Frank," you muttered, hating how your voice wobbled. 
Billy looked stricken at how upset you were and wrapped his arms around you and you melted into him despite yourself. He stroked your hair soothingly with one hand as the other rubbed your back.
"I'm not steppin' out on you, Y/N. I'd never do that," he sighed. He moved away, cradling your cheeks as his obsidian gaze looked over your face like he was searching for the answers of the universe. 
"Not gonna lie, I'm a little offended by your lack of faith, but I have been actin' weird so I'll let it slide," he murmured with a soft smile. 
"But then… what was that all about?" You asked, deflating a bit as he wiped away the couple of tears that had fallen. He leaned in and kissed you softly, one of the rare tender kisses he'd give you if you were upset. You were incredibly confused and maybe also felt a little guilty that your mind went there.
When he pulled away, he shot you a grin, looking almost like a kid on Christmas which only furthered your confusion. 
"Wait here," he beamed, dashing off to the bedroom. You really felt like you'd been transported to another dimension where nothing made sense. But then Billy came back out with what you could only describe as a living, breathing, real life Pokemon in his arms. It was a Pomeranian puppy that just looked like a cloud with two shiny back eyes peeking out. 
You made a noise that you couldn't even describe. A mix of a whine and a coo that people often reserved for cute animals and babies as if they couldn't help themselves. Your feet took you over to where Billy was grinning at you and the ball of fluff was nibbling his hand. 
"Billy…" your voice was still a little high, a little pout on your face as you reached out and stroked the fluffy fur on the puppy.
"Meet Cotton Ball. Cotton Ball, meet your mom," he smirked, grabbing a tiny paw and making it wave at you. It was something to behold seeing Billy like this and you almost melted right into a puddle. 
"Wait so… this is the other woman?" You asked with a snort, feeling so utterly stupid for how your mind went there. Billy rolled his eyes with a laugh as he handed over the bundle of cloud to you. 
"Do you like her?" He asked hesitantly, looking almost unsure as he glanced from the puppy to you.
"I love her. Thank you, Billy," you murmured, cuddling the tiny puppy closer to you. 
"I uh… I know that you said you wanted a dog," he started, his shoulder rolling a little.
"Which you shot down immediately," you cut in, raising a brow at him. He chuckled, rubbing his beard a little with a nod.
"I know. But… I saw how disappointed you were and I decided I never wanted to see that look on your face again. Especially not 'cause of me. She hadn't been fully vaccinated and stuff so I've been waitin' to bring her home. Been to see her a few times to get her used to me," he shrugged, looking almost bashful which was a strange look for him. It was cute. 
"I love her. And I love you," you smiled wide at him. His insecurities seemed to wash away at your bright smile and he returned it, leaning over to kiss your forehead.
"I love you too. Come here, lemme show you somethin','' he took your free hand and led you to the bedroom. On the floor next to your bed was what looked like a queen bed shrunk down. It was a dog bed but a fancy one and the cozy sheets looked expensive too. There was also a basket filled to the brim with dog toys. You looked at him incredulously with a laugh. 
"And here I was thinking you weren't a dog person and you're spoiling her already," you teased. He chuckled, a slight pink tint to his face you couldn't remember ever witnessing as he bit his lip and smiled at you.
"Yeah well… my girls gotta have the best. And… I mighta got attached to her," he shrugged easily. 
"Billy Russo has a heart after all. Who knew?" You snorted. He gripped your jaw gently, giving your lips a firm peck before smirking down at you.
"Don't tell a soul or I'll have to kill you. I got a rep to keep," he smirked devilishly. You snorted again, shaking your head as you took the now sleeping puppy to her lavish bed and set her down. 
When you walked back over to Billy, you wrapped your arms around his middle and he responded in kind and held you close. 
"I can't believe you thought I'd cheat on you," he murmured, nuzzling your hair. You felt your cheeks heat up as you moved away and looked up at him.
"I know. I'm sorry, I just… you'd been acting weird and then the phone call, I didn't know what to think," you said softly. He frowned a little, tucking some of your hair behind your ear before resting a hand on your jaw.
"You know I love you, right?" He asked with a furrowed brow.
"I know. Honestly… I've never questioned it. I've never felt like that before. My mind just ran away with itself," you felt bad now and really fucking stupid but he had been acting weird. How were you to know that he was secretly procuring you the cutest puppy to exist? 
He kissed your forehead softly, lips lingering a moment before he cupped your cheeks, tilting your head to look up at him. His dark eyes were full of many emotions and you got lost in them.
"You're the only one I want. Ever since I met you, I never wanted anyone else. I ain't ever felt like this before but all I know is… I'm yours. I love you, Y/N. There'll never be anyone else," he murmured sincerely. You couldn't help the dopey smile on your face as you leaned up and captured his lips in a soft kiss. 
"I love you too, Billy. But… I will have to share you now with Cotton Ball," you teased against his lips. He chuckled, nipping at your bottom lip. 
"You'll always be my best girl," he grinned, rubbing his nose against yours.
One hand dropped to your neck, the other slinking around you and settling on your ass as he kissed you deeply. Just as you were really getting into it, he hissed, cursing and moving away as he lifted his foot. The foot that had tiny razor teeth latched onto it as the dog dangled off his toe. You couldn't help the bubble of laughter that came out of you as you pried the dog away from his foot.
"Feel like I might end up regrettin' this decision," he huffed, eyes narrowed at Cotton Ball who was now happily in your arms. He wasn't really mad though, his lips were slightly upturned as he reached out and rubbed the dogs tiny head.
"Awww. Is the big bad marine scared the lil doggy might bite his ass when he's having sex?" You mocked playfully.
Billy's mortified face had you in stitches. He looked like he'd not considered it until you said it and now he was glaring at the dog like she'd ready done it. 
"We're gonna need some boundaries," he muttered to the dog as he pointed at her, then his piercing eyes turned to you and you bit your lip to stifle your laughter.
"And for the record, I am a big bad marine and I ain't scared of a fuckin' dog," he smirked with a raised brow. You rolled your eyes goodnaturedly as you turned, dog in hand, and left the room.
"Mhmm. Just wait until I tell Frank how you're scared of a ball of fluff. Or the guys from Anvil. Or maybe I'll tell them just how much you love her already," you grinned, laughing when he gripped your hips and dragged you so your back pressed against his front. 
"What I tell you? You tell and I'll have to kill you. I don't wanna do that, I might just miss you," he murmured with a smile as he nuzzled your neck. 
"Russo's going soooft!" You teased with a laugh, squealing when his hands dug into your sides to tickle you. 
Honestly, you never really thought Billy would be a dog person. But you never thought he'd be the type to live with someone and here you were. You never thought he'd be the type to use the L word yet he did with you. He was full of surprises and this was way better than you anticipated. You never expected the other woman to be so cute.
