#Nikki watches another children's show

I'm seeing everyone commenting that on That 90s Show, Leia is Eric, Gwen is Donna, Nikki is Jackie, Ozzie is Fez, and Jay and Nate are both Kelso.
This is the wrong take, unfortunately.
Leia is obviously Eric, Jay is definitely Kelso, Ozzie is totally Fez, but I think we can all grow up and accept Gwen is Hyde.
But Donna is smart and puts up with the boys. Who else does that? Nikki. Nikki is the Donna, sorry, don't be mad because she's 'girly' & y'all hate girly girls ✋🏼
Nate is Jackie, pretty, stupid, & insecure in his relationship. & I love them both.

HOTD S2 EP2 THOUGHTS
SPOILERS AHEAD
I need to start this by the very strange scene at the brothel. It took me so much by surprise I had to pause it. Like we all know these boys have mommy issues but I always thought it was more Aegon than Aemond. Like wow. I was left like this
It was the intimate position, his hair was down, the lack of clothes. He was completely vulnerable. Aemond wanted to be coddled and to be told reassuring words.
I didn’t understand well the part where she tries to kiss him and he says “not here” like sure man. you’re just naked and telling the keeps secret but go off [ngl i was waiting for her to pop a boob out and breast feed him]
that woman is a dangerous woman. she had scheming eyes. we’ll see where that goes.
Following up with the mommy issues I am so disappointed in Alicent. Aegon is clearly not her favorite child I do not know how she can bear seeing him weep as he seeks her out and she just nopes out. WTF. No wonder your other son is seeking refuge elsewhere. Also forcing Haelena to do the funeral proceeding. What sort of mother are you? The Greens think they’re so high and mighty but they barely resemble a family. They are not a united front.
The funeral proceedings almost had me in tears. I didn’t think they’d show the poor child with its head sewn back together. I thought he’d be covered. Now more so than ever I curse Alicent. You are forcing your daughter who had to witness his death relieve this scene. You forced her to watch her son be paraded around the city.
Daemon fucked up and it’s because of him that a child is dead and yet I can’t bring myself to hate the Blacks. The Greens are terrible people.
Aegon is falling apart and mourning and he has no one to come to. He doesn’t know how to control his emotions and I can’t blame him for it when his mother and grandfather only use him as a puppet and not a real human being. I pity the Hightower children.
That being said WTF was that? Making Ser Criston Cole the hand to the king? Disgusting. He was projecting so hard during this episode. Bitching about Arryks dirty cloak and blaming him for Jaeherys death.
BITCH IT WAS YOUR FAULT FOR GETTING YOUR COCK WET. FUCKING CRISTON COLE I CANT FUCKING STAND HIM. I CANT EVEN SAY IM HAPPY ALICENT SLAPPED HIM CAUSE HE PROBABLY ENJOYED IT.
I’ve got more to say regarding the Greens but my blood pressure is going up. Let me recap I hate them and I pity them all at the same time because the three children are only products of Alicent and Otto’s parenting (Viserys up to some point to)
Oh and let’s not forget Otto’s kind words for Viserys. He probably just misses how easy he was to control.
MOVING ONTO THE BLACKS
Baby Jace and Baela I love that little moment and yet I fear it because she’s out there on cute little Moondancer and it sounds like trouble.
Love the Ser Harwin talk. They acknowledge it and they accept it. Talk about being progressive.
But also so sad that Baela feels that way towards Daemon. I had high hopes for their relationship considering that deleted scene in season 1.
RHAENYS HAVING RHAENYRAS BACK TALK ABOUT FEMINISM. HELL YEAH! I fully want Rhaenys to be Rhaenyras ride or die!!
Daemon fucked up, yes. Will we ever know what he told Blood and Cheese? No. Still I can’t blame Rhaenyra for doubting him. He’s a sketchy man who puts on his little cloak to commit war crimes.
Don’t get me wrong I’m a Daemon stan but if he didn’t act so sketchy maybe we would trust him more.
He’s a dramatic guy he’s out commuting yet another big declaration of love for Rhaenyra. Like “look i’ve got harrenhal for you” I think idk we’ll see next episode.
Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk how fucking tragic. and whose fault is it? FUCKING CRISTON COLE PIECE OF SHIT
breathe nikki breathe
a part of me thinks he killed himself because he knew they would live in doubt if he’s really sir erryk. but in reality they believed they share a soul so that was probably why. he killed his other fucking half. they might be divided by believes but they still love each other.
ELINDA IS A REAL HANDMAID. SHE FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS AND LOOKED FOR A GUARD. Haelenas maid could never.
I have so many more thoughts so if anyone wants to talk please feel free to hit me up. I’ll probably rewatch the episode tomorrow again to process

I have never seen any of the Barbie animated films before. But it’s Christmas, and even though I don’t really celebrate the holiday, I love the book A Christmas Carol; and I love A Muppet Christmas Carol. So Barbie in A Christmas Carol seemed like the obvious way to dip my toe in.
My notes from watching are below!
In the framing device scenes of Barbie telling the story to Kelly, Barbie is wearing a silver dress that looks like pretty much the same dress as 2008 Holiday Barbie, even though that wasn’t an official tie in doll for the film.
Instead of Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly businessman, we have Eden Starling, an opera singing diva. Her childhood friend Catherine seems to play the role of Scrooge’s nephew but given she also works for the theatre there’s a dash of Cratchitt in there too?
Eden tells everyone not to bother coming back if they don’t come in to rehearse for the new show on Christmas. Even Scrooge only told Cratchitt to be there all the earlier the next morning.
Aunt Marie (the stand in for Marley) is draped in chains - but these chains have mirrors on the ends instead of cash boxes and ledgers. I presume to represent her sins of vanity instead of financial greed.
The spirit of Christmas past is really cute, like an excitable little elf.
Little Eden wants to spend time with friends but Aunt Marie makes her rehearse all Christmas instead of seeing other people. Eden sneaks out to go to a party instead of practicing.
I’m sure it’s in the interests of streamlining the story for Barbie audiences, but I’m a little disappointed the spirit of Christmas past only takes Eden to one place.
Christmas Present shows the theatre workers throwing tomatoes at a picture of Eden. That’s pretty funny but it’s not much of a lesson. That’s okay - Christmas Present takes her to a second location, presumably so we can meet our Tiny Tim. In this case it’s the reveal that Catherine is working for another theatre as well; or so Eden thinks. Actually it’s an orphanage putting on a Christmas pageant, and our Tiny Tim is a little girl who walks with a crutch and idealises Eden. Catherine lies to her and says Eden is very sorry she can’t come in person but is so proud of all of them. I don’t know why but I got a little emotional about that!
Anyway the orphanage is about to close due to lack of funds. This doesn’t strike me as quite as resonant because Eden is a diva and selfish but none of her sins we’ve seen so far are related to finances.
Alright, time for Christmas Future. The show is a shambles because she fires all her staff for coming in late and their replacements are rubbish so the show is an embarrassment. This means Eden lives in squalor because she lost her career. Her best friend Catherine is now a famous fashion designer, but has got there by being as selfish as Eden is. The orphanage closed down because Catherine had to go out of town to find new work and she never found out what happened to the children.
Catherine indicates she would have adopted Tammy if she had known, but didn't get the chance. The other kids can just miss out I guess?
We the audience don’t find out what became of Tammy, so we don’t know if she died like Tiny Tim. We can assume it wasn’t a great outcome for her, but it’s left to our imagination.
The red dress Eden is wearing at the end is the one from the tie in dolls!
Eden adopts (by which I assume she means financially support) the whole orphanage which doesn’t seem really like it suits the arc but sure I’ll allow it.
At the end of the movie I finally realise that Catherine was supposed to be Barbie’s friend Nikki. Apparently there was a doll prototype for Catherine, but I don't think she ever got released.
That doll I shared above wasn't the only tie-in doll though! There was also a giftset with Kelly dolls dressed as the spirits. Missed opportunity because the spirits were of different ages. I would have liked to see a doll of the Spirit of Christmas Present as seen in the movie!
I looked up some reviews of the novelisation to see if there were any changes, and only then did I realise I missed something -- Catherine isn't supposed to represent nephew Fred at all. The magician who has a crush on Catherine is Fred, leaving Catherine in just the Cratchitt role. That in hindsight makes a little more sense.
I'm not sure if I'll watch any more of the Barbie movies, but that was a good start. (If you think I should watch more, by all means tell me so, and recommend some!)

53 - What Are Her Intentions
Part 54
Family is More than Blood
@secretdreamlandmentality @melvia-ito
Klaus’s pov
I groaned, staring up at the ceiling of the mansion for a few moments enjoying the simple sound of silence that fell throughout the house. Then I rolled over onto my side seeing my queen laying beside me. Her blonde hair was scattered across the pillows and our bodies were barely covered by the tousled sheets. “I know you’re in there, Rae. I won’t let her keep control over you.”
Trailing my fingers over her bare shoulder she sniffed in her sleep. “Already awake. It appears I didn’t tire you as much as I thought last night.” She stretched her arms and legs out when she uttered her first words of the morning.
“I wouldn’t say that. We’ll definitely have to go shopping for new furniture.” Lifting my head up slightly I saw the destruction we caused. The dining table downstairs was broken in half, the main living room coach was torn, and most of the beds except for the ones in our children’s rooms were completely smashed into the wooden floor.
Raelyn flipped over onto her side to face me with a cocky smirk on her lips. “Hmm wasn’t it you that once told me that vampires never tire. That’s the beauty of immortality is it not?”
“Maybe I did. But that isn’t important now.” I shifted my body above hers and she smirked even wider if that were possible. I leaned down, capturing my lips with hers in a quickly heated kiss.
She threaded her fingers into my already tousled and super curly messy locks. I moaned into the kiss enjoying the feeling of doing this with her again, even though I wished that this dark side of her didn’t have much control over me. “So what would you say to a shower before we go furniture shopping?”
“Tis temping…but I have to go take care of a spell I have been working on.” Raelyn pushed me onto my back vamping over to the walk in closet grabbing some new clothes for the day.
Flopping onto my back on the pillows I put my arms behind my head watching her walk around the bedroom getting dressed. “You are a little evil minx.”
“You weren’t complaining last night, Nikky.” She smirked, shrugging her blue Jean shorts up her legs and buttoned them very slowly just to tease me.
Shaking my head I sent her a half glare. “Last night I wasn’t complaining but I am now.”
“Oh I wish I could say I was upset about it. But I most certainly am not and do you want to know why?” She put her short orange shirt over her head that showed off part of her stomach. Swaying her hips back and forth she vamped over to me standing at my bedside.
Pushing myself up in a sitting position lifting my head up to meet her gaze. “Tell me why, my love.”
“Because if I keep you here waiting for me to come back. Well you’ll be so desperate and needy when I get back that we won’t be able to stop having sex all night and maybe even the next day.” Dark Raelyn draped her arms around my neck touching our noses together.
I growled under my breath at her seductive suggestion. “You have become much more sexually active. Much more than you ever were when you were pregnant.”
“If you’re implying you’d like me pregnant again I think that could be arranged with many hours of work.”
I tilted my head to the side wrapping my arms quickly around her waist and she squealed before our lips hungrily met for a second time this morning. “Then it turns out that you have other matters to attend to.”
“Fair point….” She kissed me once more holding my face in her hands kissing me for a good few minutes until she broke it and vamped into the doorway leaving me flustered on the bed.
I hung my mouth opened in utter shock blinking my eyes a couple of times in confusion. “Bloody hell, you truly are Dark Raelyn.”
“I’ll see you tonight, Nikky.” She vamped out of the room without another word.
Getting up from the bed I put on some pants and one of my shirts mumbling to myself. “Insufferable sexy heretic!”
The bedroom door suddenly burst opened where I spun around on my feet seeing someone unexpected visitors from New Orleans. None other than my siblings Rebekah, Elijah, Kol and Freya. “Niklaus!”
“What do you want, Rebekah?” I grumble under my breath throwing my head back in annoyance.
She vamped in front of me, crossing her arms over her chest. “I want you to explain to me what the hell did you let her dark side do to our former home!”
“It wasn’t simply just all her fault.” I dropped down sitting on the edge of the bed. “It takes two people to tango or should I say let the spirits move our animal instincts-“
“Klaus, I don’t wish to hear about you two love making when Raelyn is in real danger.” Freya stepped up to her sister’s side.
Kol moaned in disgust. “Just be happy you didn’t have to hear their first night together.”
“Did you really come all this way to be concerned with my sex habits because if so there’s the door.” I rolled my eyes pointing at the door wanting to end this conversation with them.
Elijah ran a hand down his face. “Niklaus, we need to be concerned about your wife at the moment.”
“And you don’t think that I am. How shameful, Elijah.”
Rebekah gains my attention for the second time, arms still crossed over her chest in anger. “If you are so concerned, tell us where your beloved wife is right now.”
“Off doing a spell.”
Kol was quick on his feet. “What kind of spell, brother?”
“We have to find Raelyn before she kills the whole town.” Elijah exclaimed before we heard screaming from the boarding school from all the way at the mansion.
Alina’s pov
Jackson and I had been up all night because of Xavier and his crying. I snuggled underneath the covers trying to sleep but I felt someone standing over me. I slowly peaked over my shoulder jumping in a scare seeing my mom standing at my bedside in the complete darkness. “Mom, what’s wrong? Is it a monster or Xavier?”
“Phantamogriphia decorum.” She only uttered a spell from her lips, clasping a hand on my arm and her other on Jack before I passed out and woke up in a similar room to our bedroom.
Jackson was standing beside me confused. “Mrs. Mikaelson, what kind of spell is this?”
“Simple illusion spell, wolf.” My mom sniped at him where I raised a brow at her nickname to address my husband. She never called him wolf, he was always Jackson to her so something must be up.
I take a step towards her nervously. “Mom, what do you need to show us here?”
“I need to warm you, dear.” She replied simply.
Jackson sent me a confused look taking my hand in his before I asked the question I would soon regret later. “Warn us about what exactly?”
“Tenebris anima vestra contundito morten et conteret spirtium.” She raised her right hand chanting a spell causing me to claw at my neck struggling to breathe, removing my hand from Jack’s.
Jack grunted dropping to his knees with his bones starting to break. “Alina!”
“Jacks! What the hell are you doing mom?” I winced sharply feeling the bones in my back beginning to break.
She lowered herself down on a knee lifting my chin up so my gaze would meet hers. “This is a warning that if you or any of my other children try to bring the true me back. I will use the same Crescent curse I used on Hayley and Jacob to trap them as wolves unless there was a full moon.”
“Alina - what is she talking about!” Jackson held his stomach with his eyes glowing gold.
I felt tears falling down my face with my knees giving out from under me. I screamed through the pain forcing myself to look up at my mother. “Why do you think I’d say anything?”
“Because you are very much like your father, Lina. And I can’t have that if I want to be the version of your mother that stays around.” My mother growls down at me, clutching her hands going back to chanting the spell trying to turn us back into our wolf forms. “Frange vitam nolite corde ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in sempiterrnum.”
Jackson and I laid on the ground trying to fight the pain but her spell was too strong. I felt the fangs in my mouth coming through and my eyes turned the golden color before I gasped in relief seeing my aunt Freya and my father appearing behind her. “Aunt Freya - dad!”
“She’s not your mother, Alina.” Freya stomped forward grabbing the back of my mother’s neck quickly twisting it until it snapped and her body collapsed onto the ground in front of us. “I think that’s enough out of you.”
Holding myself up on my hands and knees I gasped to catch my breath eyeing my father who hadn't said a word. “Dad, how could you let this happen?”
“I'm sorry, Alina.” He whispered glancing down at his uncommon wife laying on the floor before our mind space disappeared and we returned physically to my bedroom.

and r u feeling better now? gosh it's so uncomfy to be sick and i absolutely dislike being sick :"( please remember to rest well and take care of urself!! there's a whole new wave of covid cases on the rise where i am recently and im tryna avoid the crowds as much as possible considering ive already had covid 3 times 🤡🤡🤡 covid surely loves me more than life does 😕
omy masters is definitely a goal of mine that i'd love to achieve especially before i have kids! can't imagine having to take care of my children while doing masters fr it's going to be so tiring!! 🫣 but i guess i'll take it step by step and see where life takes me! especially cuz financially, masters is gonna take up a bulk of my pay esp as a fresh grad in the industry, so i shall see how i can plan my route out! hehehehe
oh oh do you have any recos for fics these days? i've exhausted my list of stuff to read and shows to watch lately 🥲 so commuting arnd has been kinda boring hehehe

HEHEHEHE I TOLD U IT WAS GOOD !!! idk i'm so attached to this fic even tho it's nowhere near finished but i'm so proud of that intro alone, i couldn't keep it to myself anymore ;;; it's a good standalone AND a good opener, people can take it as either!
i feel like the characters in this are well-developed too. like jae and johnny are complete opposites--sunshine, flirty child who gets around but is secretly in love with his bestie and then there's the more silent and broody but will always take care of you, dreamboat. idk i love writing one sided loves!!! and with jae, idk why but it always hits diff!!!
definitely not feeling better but i went to work :( i've been blowing my nose all day. pretty sure imma get a rash from all the tissues i've been using. OH GOD 3 TIMES??? thankful i only got it once!

What do you think about this post? I feel as though your words will be much nicer than what I have to say to this person. I checked their likes and they seem to follow you even though it says they don’t. Maybe your response will wake them up to how horrible these things they’re saying are. Unless you agree with their takes but that would be unfortunate.
I think we all have a tendency to project onto our heroes more than they provide evidence for (I'm probably as bad as the next person). I try to keep my speculation within the realm of what they have said. When I wondered whether children was a subject they were dealing with it's because it came up in two podcasts that were released on the same day. Could be coincidence. We observe their lives through a keyhole they have intentionally made obscure. We get a highly curated view, and for the most part, we respect that.
To say that Tobin isn't a respected thinker on the subject of soccer is a little silly. Look at the guests she interviewed for the RE CAP show during the world cup. Major players who were IN the tournament peeled away to talk to a YouTube show.
This post also seemed to poke into the inner dynamic of their relationship - probably not a fun thing to do. We don't know them and I know I don't know anyone who knows them. I would never try to probe their internal life beyond what they share willingly. (And Tobin being on the spectrum??? That's a determination none of us are in a position to speculate on.)
I think (and this is my opinion, and I'm not sure I always adhere to this boundary myself) it's fair to discuss what they say and what they do. Imagining much further beyond what they share is unfair. (We know they fight, for example, but we do not and cannot know what they fight about.) And we should probably not draw too many imagined connections between what we do know. There is no evidence that CP put her career on hold for anything other than a mental health break. A reasonable speculation, based on history, is that, if anything, she was waiting on ACFC to get started before returning to the pitch. She didn't pause her career to follow Tobin to Seattle, as evidence.
I think we have enough happy knowledge of these two to be happy for them. That's what fandom is about. I don't know if there are some people stacking up imagined receipts so they can say they 'told us so' if something happens down the line. And you know what? Something may! That happens in real life.
John Mulaney's ex-wife is a subject of a joke of his where he says, in jest, "My wife is a bitch and I don't like her!" Life changes. What we know is that Christen likes Tobin because there is something innate in Tobin that she likes. We know that Tobin wakes up and is still in love. If that changes (like it did with another high profile couple in the same orbit) I think we will know. Until then, we can enjoy watching them grow, succeed and appreciate what they choose to share of their lives. Nikki Stanton seems to be doing fine. As is Lisa Evans. These woso couples can and do break up.
I can imagine why Preath have been so protective of their privacy and worked to not make their relationship the focal point of their lives. After all, that's our job.

It had been a set of unfortunate circumstances. Nikolai was going through a particularly turbulent rough patch. His episodes were occurring frighteningly frequently again, as though all of the progress he’d made over the last three years had suddenly vanished overnight, and the best anyone could hope for was that it was only temporary and would pass soon.
He’d been feverish again, though every effort had been made to combat that so that he would remain stable. Still, it took time to leave his system, and his healing factor was slower than usual, further hampering the situation. Nik hadn’t been able to leave the cage in days, a precaution for his safety, and that meant his family taking shifts to watch over him in case the side of him that seemed to hijack control during his blackouts attempted to harm him.
It was a small mercy that his grandfather was still visiting, meaning there was an extra pair of hands on deck to help out around the house and an extra person to watch over Nik while others got some sleep.
The hour was late, and the house was quiet.
Nikolai had woken up from his most recent bout of needing to be sedated with the steep dust system installed in the cell. Still, the episode had outlasted the dust’s effects this time around. Hence, the boy who had awoken was not in a pleasant mood, still groggy from being dosed and scowling up a storm. However, the threat of being put back under seemed to keep his self-destructive tendencies on a leash for now.
“Are you going to let me out yet? “he quizzed, knowing the answer, but he pushed his luck regardless.
“I’m afraid I cannot do that, at least for the time being,” the elder god replied calmly, seeming completely unfazed by the change in his grandson despite it being so upsetting for his parents to witness.
“What, in case I eat someone?” the boy leered.
“It is a matter of safety, yes, though more so your own than anyone you might harm since you seem only to target those proven to have hurt children.”
The boy’s eyes flicked up, a slight shift in his demeanor that seemed to be surprised.
“How did you...?”
“I know a lot of things, Nikolai.”
“Your precious little Nikki isn’t here, old man. Don’t you know that?”
“Oh, but he is. I’m looking at him right now,” Erebus countered. “And I am talking to him.”
“Don’t waste your breath. He can’t hear you right now.”
“Perhaps, but part of him is listening nonetheless.”
The boy saw what Erebus was getting at, taking a beat too long in responding to pretend that he didn’t.
“So? What’s your point?”
“My point is that, no matter what you choose to call yourself, you are still my grandson.”
“Is this the part where you try to appeal to my good side?”
“I’m simply stating that I recognize what you are.”
“Oh? And what is that, exactly?”
“The part of my grandson that remembers what happened to him.”
“Wow, clever. A real fucking eye-opener there, gramps. As if Nikki-boy’s therapist hadn’t already worked that one out? What other revelations have you got for me, hm, Captain fucking Obvious?”
“You don’t really want to hurt Nikolai.”
“I thought you said I was him?”
“You are, and you are the part of him that is in pain.”
“Again, not hearing anything new here….”
“You hurt yourself because you feel as though it’s the only way to get anyone to pay attention to your pain. You do it because you want them to see how much you are hurting, and you don’t know any other way to show them that is more effective than by spilling blood.”
The boy went quiet, another witty remark dying on his tongue as his grandfather summed up the driving force behind his behavior.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about…” he muttered, expression souring into a pout.
“That’s possible, but what if I am correct?” Erebus inquired, approaching the glass that separated them both. “Do you know what some animals do when caught in a trap? They lash out and bite anything that comes near, even if that thing is trying to help them. Some even gnaw off their trapped limb to free themselves.”
“How is that relevant?”
“Because right now I see that fourteen-year-old boy, trapped in the memory of what was done to him, fighting like hell to be free of it, even at the cost of hurting others and losing a piece of himself to escape it,” Erebus answered plainly. “Tell me I’m wrong, and I’ll believe you.”
The boy in the cage looked away, trying to hide the faltering in his hostility as he fought to push his emotions down and control them once more.
When he turned back, his grandfather was no longer on the other side of the glass but inside the cage with him.
It startled him enough to make him jump, unsure how Erebus had managed it without physically opening the cell door since the whole thing had been spelled and warded up to the eyeballs to keep Nik safely confined and unable to escape.
“I know none of us can begin to imagine how much it must hurt, Nikolai,” Erebus stated gently, slowly moving closer, keeping his hands visible to not spook the boy further.
“Stop calling me that!” he spat in reply, his resolve crumbling. “I told you, he can’t hear you….”
“Then I’m telling you this. I know the pain is more than you can bear, and I know you’re scared, and that’s okay. You don’t have to hurt yourself to get my attention. I am listening, and I will stay here and listen for as long as you need,” the elder god affirmed. “And if you need me to talk to your mother on your behalf, I will do so, no matter what you have to say or how difficult it may be to hear.”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Because it has become clear to me that you need to be heard in a way that does not involve bloodshed, and whichever part of you called to ask for my help understood that hurting yourself is not getting you anywhere other than spending more and more time locked in here.”
The boy fell silent for a long moment, considering the old god’s words before he let a sniffle loose, his head hanging low as his posture sagged.
“I’m just so tired…” he whispered, voice cracking with exhausted desolation.
“I know you are, dear boy. Enduring what you have for as long as you have, and while still so young, is terrible beyond words, and admittedly, I, too, am not at all pleased with your aunts on this one. You deserved better than this. You deserve better.”
The boy broke down sobbing, looking so much younger at that moment as the broken, frightened child inside the older teen stopped fighting against efforts to help him for just a moment.
Erebus moved in to comfort his grandson, pulling him into a gentle but firm embrace and making soothing sounds.
“I promise you, you don’t have to suffer this alone,” he murmured, cradling the boy as though he was physically still that small child the elder god had carried around so often when he was little and fussing terribly.
“Let us help you.”

IWTV S2 Liveblog E3 No Pain
We start out with Daniel in this restaurant and he says he is partial to the non wigging items as his fish is moving. Is this the Louis effect?! from the fox last season
He is trying to piece together things from his dreams. What stands out is "I wont save you this time". I cant really read the rest but its interesting that he is now realizing these are memories and they are significant.
This Raglin James guy. Who is he really? Book readers get the easter egg but is he really the body thief guy. Also Ive heard it say he is a detractor from the Talamasca. Are we meeting him post or pre-detracting if he is who he says he is?
The Talamasca watches and doesn't get involved so why would he be sharing with Daniel EVERYTHING? Especially when he knows Daniel is so susceptible to getting his mind read by the vamps. And he KNOWS but exactly how? Does he have some gifts? Does he have a in the vampire residence like some have guessed. So many questions
900 to 1600 vamps. Geez!
Sleeping Beauty Louis. Get some sleep, you desrve it king! Scoot over I'm tired too!
Peaceful beings real Rashid?! Biological imperative in conflict with human morality?? Sir its in conflict with human existence! but go off i guess
I knew there was some significance to the camera panning to the audio recording on the Daniels laptop but I didn't get it until a second viewing! We didn't see it while Armand was talking but we saw it after and there still should have been sound waves even after he finished speaking! But there weren't! omg Armand!
Blenders lol
The vampire we see in the beginning broke the first and fifth law that rules the Children of Darkness-possibly made a vampire without the coven leaders consent and detroyed another vampire...
Ok here we go Armands version of event. You know its gonna be good -truth or not!
OOhhhh Armand telling Lestat "Come to me?! Did he actually say this or is he parroting Louis's story here?
Hmm this kid is not who I imagined for Nikki but we will give him a chance
I love the mirror story telling here with Lestats rejection of the coven with Louis's rejection of the coven.
Armand showing Lestat his power! Yes humble him king!
The eye thing was hella freaky though not gonna lie
Armand saying Nikki is unharmed meanwhile my man looks ROUGH- Bitten, bruised and battered. This is Armands idea off not harming mind you. Didn't Armand tell Louis last episode I will not harm you??Louis should be afraid.
Lestat has never been more French lol- What are those sounds lol
I wonder is anyone not familiar with the books believes Armand. I can't wait to watch reaction. Lestat is a cartoon bully.
They ended themself * mournful innocent look* Sir you murdered those people!
Lord Lestat and Armand speaking French. Yes whatever yall are saying
Here? now ?! in front of Nikki and the whole theater?Armand playing coy and getting lost in his own self insert fic like soooo hilarious
Lestat is, was and will always be for Lestat... ok IS?!?iS!! Where is he? what does Louis KNow?! In the books up until the end of Louis and Armands relationship, he assumes Lestat is dead because thats what Armand tells him. This Louis seems to know he is alive so what does this mean?!
Never say i love you to a raging narcissist. Louis knows all to well but I do think we will get a Loustat love admission this season if not to actual Lestat then to Dreamstat
Oh Claudia- he kept you hostage. Fucking Bastard
Can we talk about the makeup? The too much eyeliner is so young girl trying to play grown. Trust me I know. Its a canon event. 18 y0 Mary had a little hobby
Some people were upset with the coven calling her puce and the "abuse" she was getting from them. Tell me you haven't been called a lovingly mean nickname without telling me. It was hazing. She has to start from the bottom. And lets face it its nothing in comparison to what they could have and will do.
The sneeze!Somebody had their panties in a bunch about vampires with allergies but come on. It was funny! It was supposed to be comical. Relax babe.
Claudia interning at the theater. Not unlike my internship experiences tbh. Less blood but still alot of sucking up.
I love Sam...both the character and actor
Vampire date night!
Louis said-I'm for the streets! I'm in da club! As he should. Get with it Armand or get Lost!'
"Oh there's room. I'm blushing!" Louis flirting is a thing to behold....but was that a double entendre (eyes)
Daniel flustered trying not to get caught looking at the Talamasca files. When in doubt bring up Claudia. Bam distraction! lol
Santiago if you don't leave Claudia alone! Fishing for details that she and Louis haven't got straight yet(angry face)
Also she tells Santiago she got lying from her maker at-sick burn to Lestat. Santiago's line after could be read that he doesn't think she is a great liar. Neither was Lestat girl!
Louis admitting to Armad he killed Lestat thus breaking one of the great laws. Girl. Armand already knew but GIRL. Atleast he didnt implicate Claudia but STILL ARMAND KNOWS(crying face)
I honestly thought the new version of the "Come to Me" song would come when Louis and Armand were trying to have sexy times. Who knows maybe it will be a reprise lol
The Loustat park scene tho! I am ashamed how much I replayed it...the good bits.
"I am still the only one you trust even now Kill me again" !1!!they are so insane
Louis is so mean to himself as Lestat. Thats not the only way you know how to love. What about Claudia? Your family? Even Lestat in the good years.
Claudia must feel Louis going through it and she must NOT CARE smh He is always kinda going through it so she is probably used it.
Claudia debut on stage. She looks so happy and Louis is a proud dad. This is so fucked up.
I wonder if Louis can hear Santiago talking to Armand. I have no doubt Santiago does not give to fucks about Louis hearing them but Armand does. Louis outright believes Armand is going to kill him so maybe yes. Or maybe he just has a bad feeling especially with how the conversation with Armand ended last time.
The five laws and Louis and Claudia have damn near broken every one 😭
This whole time watching s1 and now s2, I was like i will be fine with what eventually happens to Claudia. Cue to me CRYING at the mention from Armand that she wont make it and not even by his or the covens hand. But because of her own doing.
"And I play the little girl?" ugh this back half of this episode is all pain!
Not for nothing I was genuinely scared for Louis when Armand was threatening him in the sewer...as if Louis is not alive and well telling this story lol. I let the tale seduce me a little too much.
Not Louis and Armand bonding over Lestat breaking their hearts. And that yesterday line is absolutely yesterday. He got Lestat tied up awaiting the trail I know it.
Are you inviting me in? "I love that little fun nod to vampire lore but Louis is so wild for that. Armand was absolutely going to kill you minutes ago fam. And you told you self (through Lestat) that you don't trust him or any of these vamps.m WILD i say
So much happened again this episode! But still good pacing. I liked it better after viewing it again but it comes in 3rd from the episodes we've seen so far. Episode 2 is still my fav so far. So many new questions arose and its soo painful waiting week to week for these episodes!

Best Cartoons of the 2000s
The 2000s were an interesting time period for cartoons. So many fun slice-of-life shows for children, some awesome story-based shows and even some amazing shows catered towards teenagers and adults. It truly was a magical time with many outstanding cartoons. Here are my best cartoons from the 2000s!
10. The Grim Adventures of Bill and Mandy
Seeing how this is a list talking about the best cartoons of the 2000s, what better way to start off the list other than Cartoon Network’s hit series Bill and Mandy? Spanning a total of six seasons and running from 2001 to 2007, Bill and Mandy became a classic pretty quickly. The story revolves around a grim reaper that is forced to be companions to Bill and Mandy, two friends and this leads to many fun adventures. Overall, it is a pretty fun series delivering lots of slapstick comedy and even does transcends into dark themes at times. I love the premise alone, but the humor makes watching it even more satisfying. I also really commend the show for its excellent voice acting. While it is great, some episodes in the later half of the series can be weaker than others early on which is why it is only at number 10. Nonetheless, it is a great show with many more highs than lows. Watch it if you haven’t! You can watch it on HBO Max, Amazon Instant Video or iTunes.
9. 6Teen
Ah, Canada. The mid-late 2000s was an interesting time for Cartoon Network. Lots of Canadian exports dominated the channel, and while Canada does get hate for their cartoons, I strongly disagree. They do have lots of mainstream cartoons that are great like Total Drama and they have some more obscure gems like this one (and there is one more obscure gem from the 2010s I can’t wait to talk about). The series spanned from 2004 to 2010 running a total of 93 episodes. It is about 6 teenagers, Wyatt, Caitlin, Nikki, Jen, Jude and Jonesy who are just living everyday teenager lives. They go through lots of problems that teenagers go through such as losing a job (some more than others *cough* Jonesy *cough*), social issues and dealing with exams. It is a great show for teens, and one character that really stands out to me is Caitlin - she starts out as a shallow girl who is spoilt and we get to watch her character develop once she befriends the rest of the gang. The more raunchy humor is another plus. Despite having a few weaker episodes, the series stayed strong for its 93 episode run and it’s always fun to rewatch! You can watch 6Teen on the YouTube channel, Retro Rerun, Amazon Prime, Pluto or Tubi.
8. Invader Zim
Like 6Teen, Invader Zim was a series that while it was aimed at a younger audience, it was edgy. Though with Zim, it was more dark than raunchy. This dark cartoon comedy ran from 2001 to 2006 with a total of 2 seasons and 27 episodes. It revolves around an alien named Zim who gets sent to Earth by the Irken race as an attempt to get rid of him. Zim along with his brain dead robot assistant GIR attempt to conquer earth, and the only one aware of their plans is Zim’s classmate, Dib (Zim went to school to disguise as a normal kid). The plot points this series takes is truly amazing, and while some episodes are grotesque (there was an entire episode dedicated to Zim eating other student’s organs), they are never gross to the point where I wish to stop watching. Some highlights for me are the much darker themes and humor, the pacing which was relatively fast and made it so that the episodes would never feel too boring and the voice acting. I really commend Richard Horvitz as Zim. I also cannot stress enough how the dark atmosphere and colors add so much more to the series for me. It was overall a great show and I’d even argue it was ahead of its time. You can watch Invader Zim on Paramount+, Amazon Instant Video or iTunes.
7. The Boondocks
While the three previous shows I have covered in this list were edgier shows aimed at a younger audience, entry number 7 does actually aim towards an older audience. The Boondocks was a series running from 2005 to 2014 spanning 4 seasons and a total of 55 episodes. The series revolves around brothers Huey and Riley Freeman who move from Chicago to live with their grandpa in the suburbs. The black siblings try embracing a mostly white environment and they go through their struggles trying to fit in. Huey is more of a freedom fighter while Riley is “thugged out” to the max which provides many interesting and downright funny stories for both of them. Two highlights would be the episode “The Red Ball” where Huey leads the baseball team against a rigged team, and “The Fundraiser” where Riley organizes a fundraiser for his own selfish needs. While being a funny show, it was also quite introspective giving us the American life from a black perspective. This really was a great way to make people think outside of the way they usually think. My favorite character is Riley with his “thugged out” nature and his absolutely hilarious moments. Another highlight is the anime-influenced artstyle. The creator Aaron McGruder did say he was influenced by Cowboy Bebop. Despite 3 absolutely amazing seasons, the fourth one was weaker than the rest due to the creator leaving and at times felt more racist and embracing of the stereotypes instead of providing more of a social commentary. Due to the flaws with the last season, it earns a #7 spot. Overall, I still highly recommend it as it is an amazing show. You can watch The Boondocks on Amazon Prime Video.
6. Samurai Jack
Samurais are already such an interesting concept, and cartoons are something I love so what could go wrong with a cartoon about samurais? Absolutely nothing! Samurai Jack was a cartoon which ran from 2001 to 2004 only to return in 2017 for one final season. The series ran for 62 episodes. It revolves around a samurai named Jack who tries to stop Aku, a shapeshifting demon who has taken over his kingdom. Unfortunately, Aku sends him into the dystopian future where he is ruler. The first 4 seasons had a younger audience in mind, while the fifth targeted an older audience.The fifth season’s darker approach was outstanding as well, and while many did not like the ending, I loved it! Some factors I love about the series are the darker themes (especially in the later seasons), the very cool art style and colors which compliment the series very well and the awesome voice acting, especially by Phil LaMarr as the lead character. I would recommend Samurai Jack to anyone that hasn’t seen it. You can watch Samurai Jack on HBO Max.
5. Kim Possible
After mentioning a lot of Cartoon Network shows, it was only fair I mentioned a Disney show, and what show from the 2000s is better than Kim Possible? A comedy with plenty of action and adventure that ran from 2002 to 2007 and had a total of 87 episodes amongst its 4 seasons. It was about Kim, a high school cheerleader who was also a crimefighter. Assisted by her friend Ron and his pet mole rat, Rufus, Kim fought crime all over the world while still managing a “normal” school life. One way Kim Possible approached the high school crime fighter plot line differently which stood out for me was that Kim’s identity was not hidden. This really made it unique as in most shows with this concept, the protagonist’s identity remains hidden. Some of the highlights of this show are the fantastic characters (my favorites are Kim, Rufus and Shego), the unique concepts and the action. Some standout episodes to me are Rappin’ Draken, Trading Faces and of course the final episode. I would definitely recommend watching the entire series. You can watch Kim Possible on Disney +.
4. Clone High
Way way back in the 1980s…just joking. We’re not going that far. Clone High was a classic cartoon that unfortunately only ran for one season comprising thirteen episodes. However, a reboot will be coming sometime soon. It was a very fascinating show with probably the most intriguing concept on this list. The series is a high school dramedy aimed at a slightly older audience. But get this: the students are all clones of famous people like John F Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, Gandhi, etc. However, secretly, the clones are being used as a military experiment by a government organization. Filled with high school humor and a serious back story, Clone High was ahead of its time. The best part of this show is easily John F Kennedy’s character. Though, I would also like to praise the show’s unique artstyle which has started a whole new look prominent in Canada as seen in shows like Total Drama, 6Teen and Detentionaire. I also love the humor. I really recommend Clone High to anyone who hasn’t seen it. You can watch Clone High on the YouTube channel Retro Rerun, Paramount + or Amazon Prime Video.
3. Spectacular Spider Man
Spider Man is someone we all know and love...but have you guys heard of his underground series, Spectacular Spider Man? A series which ran from 2008 to 2009 and contained a total of 26 episodes. An awesome tale focusing on the origins of Spider Man, and it kept me hooked throughout. Some highlights for me are the high paced fight scenes, the awesome voice acting from the entire cast (but Josh Keaton stood out the most to me in his role as Spider Man) and the depiction of Spider Man. The series depicts Peter as a teenager really well as we get to see him learn about his responsibility as a superhero. Easily an awesome show which I recommend. You can watch Spectacular Spider Man on Netflix.
2. Teen Titans
Ah yes, the good old Teen Titans that we all grew up with. I’m sure this was expected. Teen Titans had a total of 65 episodes in it’s 5 season run from 2003 to 2006. This series revolved around a group of 5 heroes that call themselves the Teen Titans. The team consists of the leader Robin, a hero with the power to morph into animals named Beast Boy, an alien princess named Starfire, a cyborg named well…Cyborg and a goth girl with telekinesis named Raven. The series goes through multiple arcs with each arc focusing on a different character. What isn’t there to love about this show? Great voice acting, a soundtrack that matches the intensity of the show, a team of awesome superheroes with distinct personalities and arcs that are both action packed and heavy on emotion. I’m not going to sugarcoat this: watch Teen Titans. You can watch Teen Titans on HBO Max, Vudu, Google Instant Play, Amazon Instant Video or iTunes.
1. Avatar: The Last Airbender
If anybody who knows me in real life is reading this blog, they’d have known what number 1 would’ve been already. I mean who wouldn’t put this cartoon in their best cartoons of the 2000s list? This absolute gem of a show: Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar: The Last Airbender was a series that lasted for 3 seasons and had a total of 61 episodes. The series takes place in a world where there are 4 divided nations: water, earth, fire and air. The four nations lived in peace until the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar who can master all four elements can restore peace. The Avatar is a young boy named Aang who alongside his new friends, Katara and Sokka travel to different nations in order for him to learn all the elements and to be capable of taking down the fire lord, Ozai. Where do I start with this show? It is perfect: the story is amazingly done, it has great humor, the anime-styled designs are amazing (seriously, I hear people talking about cartoons that look like anime a lot and this one is the best from those), the intense and emotional music, heck, I could go on forever. If I were to narrow it down to one thing I love about the show, it would be the fact that there are characters I deeply care about. And the reason I care for them is because they’re written so beautifully and the situations that they are put in are executed so well that you can’t help but to care for them. I am sure most of you have seen it but if not, watch it as soon as you can! You can watch Avatar: The Last Airbender on Netflix, the Nick+ channel on Amazon, iTunes or Google Play.
Well, these are my best cartoons of the 2000s! I hope I introduced you to some new awesome cartoons! Which of these cartoons would you agree with? Which would you disagree with?

Pronouns used: she/her
Warnings: royals, sibling banter, Sally and wilbur
༶•┈┈𑁍┈♛ ♛┈𑁍┈┈•༶
Royal balls are a dream to some, the fantasy they wish to someday live. Dressing up in your fanciest clothing and meeting your Prince Charming or Cinderella. It’s a room full of royals and those who hold the up most power within status, of all ages. Corsets and ties with flowers that cost over a hundred dollars for one single bouquet or corsage.
Elders looking for gossip and catching up while showing off their grandchildren. Millennials looking for a good time with their significant other, or introducing their children showing them how to grow up and evolve from their childish ways. An acceptance to society, and young teenagers and all forced to find another and shoved into the spotlight, representing their kingdom.
Any wrong move at these occasions and you have officially ruined your reputation and lowered your kingdoms status. This is the point where you could steal the show, all eyes on you. A lady dancing with a duke hoping to be a duchess. A princess dancing with her fellow showing off the new formation and loyalty within kingdoms, any and all.
The higher you reach the more spotlight you put on yourself and you are the one everyone talks about. You are the one they want to be. That is why you must tighten your corset making sure no buttons or strings are loose, your hair must not have a strand out of place or you will make a fool of yourself.
Ties and bows must be perfect, suites and gowns must not have any wrinkles what so ever or you’ll look terrible. Makeup must be done professionally and must not look to bland or to the point where you look like a clown.
The application such as dress to impress comes to the at most importance during these occasions. You mustn’t fail. You must not under any circumstances let your family down or slack off. Or you’re done for..
∘*┈┈୨♡୧┈┈*∘
“Well then princess, you look absolutely wonderful! Steal the eyes of everyone in that ballroom.” Nikki said to the princess who huffed, blowing hair out of her eyes.
“I cannot breathe what so ever, and my feet already hurt.” She complained slouching down a bit. “Your not supposed to breathe, breathing is what tonight you shall consider a privilege, more of an award you will get if the night goes well.” The maiden finished adding the last flower to the lady’s hair patting the girls shoulders before leaving.
After staring at herself in the mirror for five minuets, she had finally gained the confidence in standing up, walking out into the hallway. It has always been situated as all the siblings bedroom have been put in the same hallway, for easier convenience and security.
“You look like a troll.” Tommy laughed at the sight of his sister which earned a slap on the head. “Sorry sorry- I meant you looked decently better then a troll.” “Tommy!” Will smacked the blondes arm. “You look wonderful now may we get going?” The brown haired boy anxiously tapped his foot which he normally does when he’s nervous.
“Wilbur! Why is there a girl at the door calling for you?” Phil’s loud voice could be heard from from possibly the badlands. The two teenagers looked at one another watching as their older brother raced down the flight of stairs. They ran down following behind watching as a girl with curly red hair ran inside clinging herself to Wil.
“Oh uh this is my girlfriend, Sally.” The room went into silence. “Girlfriend? Wow wil didn’t know you had any game.” Tommy snickered getting a glare from both of the older males. “Very nice to meet you Sally..” Phil took out his hand which the red head excitedly shook. “Oh look the carriages are here! On to it..” Wilbur shoved everyone out the door into the horse drawn vehicles.
“Why didn’t you tell me!” Tommy whisper shouted to his sister, “I didn’t know this time!” “But you both always know whenever some shit like this is happening.” “Well I’m sorry that this time I couldn’t supply you with the whole kingdoms gossip!” Y/n rolled her eyes, the two siblings bickered for the first 15 minutes of the journey.
“Tommy your sitting on my dress!” She shouted pushing him off the seat. “Kids, we have company now be nice.” Phil grumbled not really paying attention, mainly eyeing the weirdly disgusting couple. Sally was gawking at Wilbur the whole time fairly boosting his ego to the siblings demise.
“You know it’s a good thing techno isn’t here! Maybe people will actually offer me to dance this time.” The princess grumbled looking out the window. “Don’t speak ill of your brother while he’s away on his expedition.” Phil stated starting to wish he had gotten a sepret carriage for himself.
“Well it’s bloody true! Whenever he’s there he scares everyone away, and finally I have some bit of freedom this time.” The rest onward went smoothly if you must. The sight of the familiar stone castle brung a weight on the princesses shoulders.
∘*┈┈୨♡୧┈┈*∘
Standing waiting anxiously waiting for your name to be called. Your kingdom and status the two things that make up everything. This is where it all starts, every little imperfection within you has now disappeared. You are now a perfect paper doll set for society’s eye, nothing less, nothing more.
“Prince Wilbur Minecraft of Lmanburg, escorted by Lady Sally Salomna.” The young couple made their way down the grand eyes everyone awing begging to be them. A common lady escorted by a prince.
You are now a piece of the chess board, except this game never ends. You are all pawns ready to be played, “Prince Tommy of Lmanburg!” Tommy straightened his bow tie before watching his every step going down.
“Princess Y/n of Lmanburg escorted by Prince dream.” Whispers spread amongst the room like a butterflies swooping over flowers carried by the wind of day. Both the prince and princess of two high marked kingdoms.
She sent out a smile, carefully stepping down the red carpet as eyes stared looking for the slightest bit of mishap. Once reached the second to bottom stair the prince held out his hand which the princess gloved one graciously took it. Leading to the middle of the room as the string quarter started playing its beautiful melody.
The pairs bowed to one another. One putting a hand on their partners waist, the other a hand on their shoulder. The empty hands held out intertwined as the beat started playing they moved together like puppets being strung by marionettes.
“You look beautiful..” His dashing green eyes ventured looking for any sight of forgiveness.
“I don’t believe I may forgive you yet, your immature actions driving me away.” One partner carefully spun the other then making their way to their original position moving back and forth with one another, swans in a lake.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me, but I beg princess.. for one night. Be mine?”

Fake Dating
Pairing: Nikki Sixx x Reader
A/N: I hope you guys enjoy! Thanks for reading :)
When you first started dating Nikki Sixx, it was all for the money.
Now dating someone for money may sound cruel and awful to most, but in your case, it was a little different. Dating Nikki was literally your job.
You had been reached out to by Nikki’s management close to eight months ago and were offered the job of becoming his fake partner. Mötley Crüe had gotten into some sort of scandal once again that had the public upset and protesting their work. It really wasn’t anything that bad that the band had been up to, just their typical hotel shenanigans, but it happened right before their new album release and their label was desperate to change the opinions of any upset mothers to try and increase album sales.
So, they had reached out to you. Why? Because you were exactly what they needed to get the public back on the side of Mötley Crüe. You were a small-time actor and pretty much universally liked. Having gotten most of your fame from starring in a recent and popular children’s movie, you were recognizable to children and parents alike. You were relatively new to professional acting, so there was no sort of rumors or nasty gossip associated with your name. Not to mention, you were young and beautiful and, even better, had no criminal record. You perfect for the role of Nikki Sixx’s significant other.
You were hesitant to accept of course. Sure, you had heard rumors of celebrities with fake or hired partners before, but never had you been asked to be in on one of those schemes. It felt wrong, to be lying to so many people, but the pay was too good for you turn down. You were in between gigs at the moment, having had no job offers since your big movie role. Maybe it was wrong to have ever accepted, but you had, and there was definitely no turning back now.
To everyone’s surprise and Mötley Crüe management’s absolute glee, the tabloids and press was obsessed with your and Nikki’s relationship. After just one “date” out with Nikki, a no-expenses lunch courtesy of Elektra Records and lots of well-timed hand holding and pecks on the cheek, paparazzi photos of the two of you could be seen on virtually every teen gossip magazine’s cover. When people mentioned Mötley Crüe now, they were talking about you and Nikki, not the fact that they got banned from the Hilton or destroyed over fourteen thousand dollars’ worth of property at their last hotel stay on tour.
Like you were, Nikki had been hesitant to play along with this fake relationship. It was weird and the whole thing was uncomfortable in the beginning. You were a complete stranger to him and now he was expected to kiss you in public and take you out on dates? It was awkward to say the least. But over time, the two of you warmed up to each other and your roles. With every staged date, you two got closer and closer and got to know each other more and more. Things got easier, and you actually began to enjoy the company that Nikki provided when you saw him, and the two of you even began to hang out sometimes even when it wasn’t scheduled by corporate.
“Hey (Y/N)!”
You turned around where you stood to see Nikki and his best friend and bandmate, Tommy, running towards you.
“Hey,” you said, smiling widely at the two boys. “You guys ready for your big show?”
Today was the last night of Mötley Crüe’s tour and it was the biggest show yet. You had been invited by management since the show was to be filmed with some backstage footage as well. And since Nikki was your fake boyfriend, it only made sense for you to be there with him.
“Hell yeah!” Tommy cheered, twirling his drumsticks in his hands. “Tonight is going to be killer! You’re gonna be watching from side stage, right?”
“Of course I will,” you said. “You know how much I love seeing you guys play.”
And it was true. The best part about your newest acting role besides getting to hang out with Nikki, was watching his band perform on stage.
“That’s why you’re the best,” Tommy said, ruffling a hand through your hand and bounding off down the hall on the venue excitedly. “I’m going to go warm up!” he called over his shoulder. “Don’t chicken out on me Sixx!”
You turned back to Nikki with a confused smile.
“That boy is all kinds of weird,” you laughed.
“Tell me about it,” Nikki said with an eye roll.
“What does he mean about chickening about?” you asked. “You nervous for the show or something?”
Nikki had never seemed nervous before a performance before. He was normally excited, but maybe since this was his biggest gig yet, the stage fright was getting to him. You examined him carefully. He did look a little nervous. He was tapping his fingers to an irregular rhythm against his leather-clad thigh and biting his lip just slightly.
Nikki sighed through his nose and attempted to look non-chalant. The real reason he was so nervous was because tonight was the night he had decided would be the time when finally he told you that he loved you. He had stupidly mentioned it to Tommy who in turn had told Mick and Vince and half the crew. Now, almost thirty people had wagered money on whether he would actually go through with it or not. Somehow, thankfully, you had been left blissfully in the dark to all of this.
“No,” Nikki said. “I’m not nervous. It’s nothing really. Just Tommy being dumb like always.”
“Oh, okay,” you responded. “As long as you’re okay. By the way, Mick said you wanted to talk to me earlier.”
Nikki cursed under his breath. Of course, Mick would intervene. He had bet a hefty amount of cash on Nikki being brave enough to confess his feelings to you.
“He did? Oh, well, it’s really nothing important. It can wait until later,” he said, swallowing thickly.
In reality, Nikki was genuinely terrified to tell you that he loved and ask you out. Normally, he was confident in matters like this, but with you, he felt like he was diving headfirst into the unknown. He felt a connection with you, and he was sure that his feelings for you were true, but he had no idea if you felt the same. In any other situation, he could probably figure out if someone were interested in him based on how they interacted, but with you that was near impossible. You were literally being paid to date him. How was he to discern between your acting and what you really thought? For all he knew, you could hate his guts and just be putting on a show to keep getting your monthly check.
And if he told you that he loved you, and you didn’t feel the same, he wouldn’t know what to do. Not only would he be heartbroken, but he wouldn’t be able to hide from you. You would still be invited to events and he would still have to pretend to be your boyfriend. He couldn’t imagine anything worse than having to kiss you knowing that you didn’t and had never had any feelings for him.
“Are you sure?” you asked. “There’s plenty of time to talk now. You’re not on for another hour at least.”
“I just uh, I just- I don’t know,” Nikki stammered.
“Sixx,” you said with a laugh. “Just tell me.” You placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. “You’re my fake boyfriend, remember? I love you,” you joked.
Your words pained Nikki because he knew you were only teasing.
“Do you really though?” Nikki asked quietly, finally finding the strength to make his move.
The smile slipped off your face.
“What?”
“Do you actually love me?” Nikki repeated louder, looking up at you. “Do you really love me?”
You were caught off guard to say the least. That was not what you had been expecting Nikki to ask you. Did you love him? Of course you did, but why was he asking? Had he figured out that you were secretly harboring feelings for him, the boy you were supposed to be fake dating? Had he realized that your acting was getting to be too realistic, that you couldn’t possibly be faking this well?
“Why are you asking me that?” you said, avoiding answering his question.
“Just answer me,” Nikki said. His eyes searched yours for an answer.
You could feel your heart hammering away in your chest. Did he know? You were panicking, trying to think of something to say. Should you deny any feelings you had for him? It would be unprofessional to admit that somewhere along the line, you had begun to really love him.
“(Y/N),” Nikki said, realizing you weren’t going to answer him. “(Y/N), I don’t want to be your fake boyfriend anymore.”
You felt like he had punched you in the gut. All the air left you lungs. So, this was it. He had figured you out and was ending things. He didn’t want to see you anymore now that he knew.
“You- what?” you asked, unable to hide the disappointment in your voice. “Why?”
“I don’t want to be your fake boyfriend anymore because I want to be your real boyfriend (Y/N),” Nikki said. His eyes turned downcast, too nervous to look at you. “I don’t know when it happened (Y/N), but I’ve fallen for you. You’re just- you’re everything I’ve ever wanted. You’re smart and witty and fun. You can make me laugh and get me out of a bad mood. You know how to party, but you also can just sit and have an honest conversation with me. I love you and I want this to be real, what’s going on between us.”
You were speechless yet again. You gazed at him in awe, shocked by what he had just admitted.
Nikki took your surprised silence as rejection and his shoulders sagged visibly.
“Are you mad at me?” he asked eventually, daring to look up at you now.
“I, uh- I mean, no. I’m just surprised is all,” you managed to spit out. “You really mean all that?”
Nikki merely nodded.
“Nikki, I- oh my god. I love you too,” you said, finally finding the words you wanted to say back to him.
Nikki looked skeptically hopeful.
“You do?” he asked hesitantly. “You really mean that?”
“Nikki,” you started, breaking out into a grin. “I have loved you for months now. I thought you could never feel the same, so I didn’t say anything. I thought you would hate me if I told you.”
“I could never hate you,” Nikki said, lips curling up to match yours. “God (Y/N), I really love you. Can I- will you- would you be alright if we started dating for real now?” he asked. “No more staged dates or kisses. Just you and me actually doing this.”
You nodded excitedly.
“Yes,” you agreed quickly. “Yes, I would like nothing better Nikki.”
Nikki let out a relieved laugh and quickly threw his arms around you in a tight embrace.
“Can I ask you one last thing?” he said, as you hugged him back.
“Of course,” you said, pulling back to look at him.
“Can I kiss you now? For real this time?”

Sumire’s Thoughts on Akihabara Division
Keiko Yumi
“Criss and Nikki introduced me to her and honestly, I was excited about meeting the person who created Red of the Ambitious, it’s one of my favorite manga series at the moment and Player One Studios is in charge of making the video game adaptation which I myself had greenlit the project. So when I finally did meet her…my disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.” She deadpanned.
“How someone can be both boring and annoying is beyond me, not to mention that she’s also working for Chuuoku which is an automatic red flag and more than enough reason to dislike her, seriously, how are Nikki and Criss friends with her?! Honestly, they’re the only reason why I put up with her when all four of us hang out and even then, I can’t stand her. You know, you’d think having a porn star for a mom would make you a little more fun but I guess not…and another thing, I know I keep saying how some parents don’t deserve children and I still stand by that but…sometimes there are exceptions, sometimes children don’t deserve their parents and Keiko here is a clear example.” She glared at the photo of the mangaka.
Criss Hiromi
She grinned. “Criss, my fellow believer!” She raised her hand and separated her middle and ring finger, creating a space between the two fingers. “I’m a huge fan of her channel! I always have my notifications on whenever she posts a video and I’ve been in a few myself, those were always fun and we always have the time of our lives. My favorite video is when we went to the clown hotel with Janine and the others and well…shit had gotten out of hand pretty quick, you’re gonna have to watch the video to see.” She snickered.
“I met her in the woods, apparently she was looking for Bigfoot…er, well, the Japanese equivalent to Bigfoot but had gotten lost.” She shook her head with a laugh. “Thankfully I found her because she was real fucking close to finding Scorpion Den or rather…one of the traps we had set in place. So I lead her back to civilization and offered to show her an abandoned asylum that’s rumored to be haunted and well, we’ve been friends ever since, if Criss ever wants another collab for her channel then she knows how to contact me, I can never say no to discovering the unknown!”
Nikki Yoshie
She took one look at the photo and smirked. “1-Up herself, I’ve been tailing this girl for a while honestly, at first, I was impressed with her gaming prowess but later I found out that she’s pretty damn good inside a computer. So like 10 minutes of hacking later, I decided that she had the potential to be part of Scorpion Den so I gave her the invite and sure enough, she’s in the Den. While Nikki is a good programmer, she has the skills to be placed in the Second Unit, we usually have her help out with Player One Studios either as a beta tester or getting rid of bugs or getting rid of competition, same difference.” She shrugs, “But besides all that, Nikki is actually pretty fun to be around, she makes a great gaming buddy and even better ally in both in game and IRL.”
Otaku Corps
“How much you wanna bet that Criss was the one who came up with the name?” She snickered. “That aside, this team is one I wasn’t expecting but not complaining…well, there is one thing to complain about that’s Keiko but whatever, I’m surprised that Nikki and Criss are in the DRB but I’ll be lying if I said I wasn’t curious as to what their sound is like. I actually want to face these guys just for shits and giggles.”

prompt 41? :]💛
41.
"Ha-ha, got to catch me first!"
Thula watched from her seat on the porch, watching as Kyle chased the young girl across the front yard of his farm, her hand holding up a yellow flower that he seemed intent on grabbing.
They continued like that for the next five or so minutes, until the setting sun forced the three of them indoors. Kyle now stood over the stove, wrapped in a black apron as he cooked a meal. Nikki now sat across from Thula, reading a children's book. The Viltrumite was intrigued by her, and the odd couple that had dropped her off in the early hours.
"What are they like, your parents?" she asked, finger tapping against the scratched surface of her mug.
Nikki looked up from the book. "Hmm? Rus and Ky? Well, they're... a little strange, but nice! Their apartment's really pretty, too!", a sparkle in her eyes that none of the young Viltrumites had ever shown. What emotion could create such a look? Innocence? Joy? Whatever it was, it was strange to Thula.
The Viltrumite hummed at the words, considering them. "I know they have abilities, but... do you?"
Nikki nodded. "I know magic! Wanna see?"
She closed her eyes and creased her brow in concentration. It took a few seconds, but eventually her hands were covered in a bright white glow. She brought her hands together before pushing them out, a small shower of sparks flying from the tips of her fingers. The glow faded away, and Nikki opened her eyes again. "Was that good?"
"Very good. What do you think of...?" Thula, trailing off for a moment before finishing with "Kyle? How do you feel about him?", keeping her voice low and leaning so as to not alert him as he stood at the stove.
Nikki's face lit up at the mere mention of the old soldier's name. "Grandpa? What's not to love? He's funny, nice, and has all these cool stories about the old days!"
"Old days?" Thula asked.
"Yeah, the 80s! Has he told you the one about Paraguay? It's so awesome!" she awed, practically vibrating with excitement in her seat.
"Ok sweetheart, dinner's almost ready, so go and wash your hands, alright?" Kyle told Nikki, turning around and wiping his hands on his apron. The young girl nodded, climbing down from her seat before running out of view. "She is a treasure, now ain't she?" he smiled, sitting in her seat across from Thula.
"Is she your granddaughter?" the Viltrumite asked him, curious. In her mind, the fact that both of them were blonde was proof enough, but it still felt rude to assume. "Do you have children?"
Kyle chuckled at the question. "No, not really. Well, Ky's my kid, and they're taking care of her along with Shapesmith, so I guess in a roundabout way you could argue that, but... I guess it's her choice in the end!"
"Have you ever... wanted biological children of your own?" she prodded further, the question seeming like she was testing the waters, although for what Kyle couldn't tell.
"I suppose so. Never had the time before, but if I did meet someone, someone I could... spend my life with, I guess I could see it". His pondering was interrupted when Nikki bounded back into the room, showing him a pair of clean hands with a proud look on her face. "Another time, I guess. Now, who wants pancakes?"
Thula stayed quiet as he served Nikki her dinner, watching the way his face creased with kindness. Something she couldn't quite describe kindled in her gut, something strange and new to her, but the scene before her made her wonder what a family of her own would look like, and who in the room she might build it with.

Can you do Mötley Crüe x daughter reader? Thanks!
Night songs
Pairing: nikki sixx x daughter-reader
Summary: your father, nikki sixx, teaches you how to play bass!
A/n:I hope this is near what you expected! Thanktou for requesting! This is a based apon Nikki sixx, as I feel he is a great father, and I love his vibes.
As your father stood behind you, you sat in a chair, a bass in hand, your fingers delicately placed on the strings, the other hand preparing its self to pluck the strings.
His hands sat gently amongst the back of the chair you sat in, your fingers slowly danced along the strings as you attempted to play a song that he gave you a quick run through on.
You enjoyed watching him play bass, ever since you were young. The older he got, the more involved he seemed to get with you. Whether it being teaching you bass, showing you pictures from the 80s, taking you out to get icecream, or even simply watching a movie together.
You began quickening your speed on the bass, your fingers keeping up with the ones plucking the strings, you playing the song that he taught you eariler. He jumped up, clapping, and cheering with excitement. "Yes!! Good job, y/n!!" He exclaimed, his arms wrapping around you, making sure to not knock the instrument.
A cheeky smile spread across your face. Moments like these were the little things that kept you going.
He released from the hug, kissing your cheek, then standing up, and giving you some space. "That's sounding great! I'm so proud of you." He said, his words coming out with love, and passion.
Teaching you something about his passion and career had always been a dream of his. He'd always try to be a good father to you, and all his other children, especially since it was because he wasn't blessed with that, and wanted his children with a good childhood.
You continued to strum on the bass, looking up to him for reassurance. His kind eyes and bright smile were too contagious, making you motivated to keep playing.
As he continued to listen in, he had a lovely smile on his face, his teeth showing, and his eyes squinted.
Before he could say anything, his name was being called, and he was off to another room. "Keep practicing, darling. I'll be right back!" He reassured you, and walked out of his the room.
His eyes wondered around the room you were sitting in, basses and electric guitars hung on the walls, and on stands. Nikki had an arrangement of instruments in this room. Even a drawer of replacent bass strings.
You began playing a scale on each string. Getting a deep vibrating feeling throughout your hand as you plucked at each string. The tone was deep, and smooth.
"Nikki she's sounding amazing!" Courtney said from the living room, causing a huge grin to form amongst your face. They continued talking for a few more moments, than him coming back into the room.
Nikki gently closed the door behind him, sitting back down on a couch in a corner. "You're sounding so good!" He told you, crossing his legs.
As the night devoted its self to both of both of you playing bass, you both grew tired but proud of your bproductivity together. You appreciated having your father being Nikki sixx...
Again.. thankyou for reading and requesting!

Tous Les Jours
word count: 1472
Requested: “Hii💖 can i request a fic where their s/o is in a band like baby metal and at first their like “how cute girls dancing to metal” but then they see how heavy it is and how much control they have over the crowd” I don’t know who requested this but I hope you like this. It was super fun to write!
“Salut, Salut, Salut! We are Les Petites Souris from Paris, France! Comment ça va, Los Angeles?” The crowd roared to life at the opening act. Dressed in feathers, bedazzled corsets, and fishnets it looked like Vegas showgirls and very out of place for the opening act to a rock and roll show. “This is our song Tous Les Jours!” Nikki looked up, confused from the bar where he was currently being bumped into by people trying to rush closer to the stage. Tommy and Vince both looked absolutely out of their minds excited besides him.
He had been promised to see the hottest band in LA at the moment and a huge competitor but what looked like three hot French Burlesque dancers were on stage. WHen the music started his eyes furrowed together. Heavy bass lines and drum beats mixed with great guitar riffs, and then they were singing. The lead singer was pretty blonde with long legs that she was using to do the Can-Can with her backup singers. BUt her voice was angelic. Nikki watched the three girls in their synchronized dance moves. The high energy of the girls were like a mix of pop stars on MTV and strippers. The way that they danced to their music, that was way heavier than he could imagine for them. He stood in almost shock as they performed, well TBone pretty much went nuts beside him.
They sang a few songs before the crowd started to get wild and try to surge forward. It was like a fight club as people pawed at the stage. Nikki felt like he was watching Beatles Mania happen. The lead singer finished her song, giving the crowd a look over that made them fall silent. Tommy elbowed him, in awe of the stage presence from the petite singer.
“Que faites-vous, mes amis?” she tsked at them and Nikki felt his eyes glued to her as she walked a few steps towards the crowd. The way her hand went to her hip and she looked out at them like she was scolding children, “This show is for everyone but we will not sing if you keep acting like this, d’accord?” though they didn’t know what she was saying they all agreed with her anyway. The way she smiled at the audience had them all cheering as she walked over and started dancing again.
Nikki loved watching the way the three girls bounced around the stage like they were just having a lot of fun. It didn't feel like they were acting but it also felt like a full performance. It was a gimmick but they could actually perform and all of them had great voices that sounded right over the heavy music. By the time that the show was ending he understood why the guys had wanted to come to see the band so badly. He was surprised at the end of the show when he was thinking about how he didn’t want it to end. He enjoyed watching the girls dance to the heavy music, their bright smiles, costumes bouncing at their silly moves, and the way they drew the crowd into them.
At the last song it got so loud he could see his whisky shake in the glass. The crowd was absolutely losing their minds for them. The girls all clasped hands bowing to them and giving them all waves as flowers, bras, and even what looked like a pair of boxers all made it up onto stage. The singer once more stepped forward waving at the crowd and trying to get them to quiet down so she could talk.
“Merci, mes amies. Once again we are Les Petites Souris. We are selling some merchandise in the back of the club. Hannah, wave your hands so they can see you, mon amour.” Nikki turned to see the girl waving her hand. “We also will be playing at The Roxy tomorrow night. You can find me at the bar before the set and buy me a few drinks, oui?” she smiled as there were catcalls and whistles from the crowd, “Merci, mes amies. Until tomorrow, bonne soiree.`` She departed the stage and it took a few minutes for people to realize they were done and not coming out for an encore.
It was crazy how the crowd was already leaving when they hadn't even been the main band for the night. Vince and Tommy were already finishing their drinks which the bassist knew meant they were going to try to head backstage to meet the new chick band on the club scene.
When they made it backstage they had no problem finding the dressing room since they had all played here before. T-Bone wanted to just walk in but they managed to restrain him as Nikki knocked. The door opened and there was the blonde, looking him up and down.
“Do I know you?” She asked and he smirked that her accent had been real and not just part of the show. Her eyes rolled away from him to the two men that were with them. He could hear someone say something to her in French and she responded lazily with a Hand wave.
“I’m Nikki Sixx, this is Vince and Tommy. We saw you play tonight and just wanted to invite you out.” Her eyebrow rose and she turned to look in the room of girls relaying the messages. Two heads poked it looking at the men and they were all chattering over each other in what seemed like a game of pick your date. Nikki felt the heavy blue eyes on him of the blonde.
“So you come to our dressing room after our show without flowers, without champagne, without anything about our show and you and tes sales amis want to take us out tonight? Tut-Tut, Monsieur Sixx.” She walked away from the door replaced with another blonde who was making eyes at Tommy.
“Do not pay Charlotte any mind. Come back in an hour, yes? We will be ready then.” She shut the door leaving the boys all standing around. Nikki told the boys he’d be back in a little bit leaving the club, feeling like he had a challenge ahead of him.
The hour passed and when then girls came out they were changed from their stage costumes to more casual jeans and leather jackets. Nikki handed Charlotte a bouquet of roses watching the way her eyes danced in amusement.
“Great show.” He said, a smile blooming over his face. He watched the way she cracked the flowers bringing them close and inhaling the sweet scent.
“Merci, Monsieur Sixx.” Her hand went to her forearm lacing their arms together as they headed out and into the waiting limo that the band had.
That night turned into six months later and the pair had been pretty much inseparable. Nikki would take out the French singer as often as possible. She basically lived at his house, throwing parties and laughing loudly with all his friends. The way she managed to get everyone to befriend her with almost the trance-like control she held on stage never stopped impressing him.
The cult-like following of the band had them headline large arenas where seats were packed to watch the cute girls dance to the metal songs. Everyone seemed to forget they could perform with a full range or dance moves and musical talent until they were seeing it live. The way the girls were in cotton candy pastel burlesque outfits contrasted to the heavy metal playing in the background.
Nikki had seen them dozens of times, loving to support his girl, and still he would be sucked into their performance. The cute dance moves, the heavy music, and the sexy outfits all seem to add to the band. He loved watching them can-can to the heavy baselines and the elegance they brought to the music. Just like he was hooked on seeing them he was hooked on their lead singer.
Nikki had known after the first night when she pulled cognac from her purse to splash liberally in their coffee after dinner that she was the girl for him. She made them all feel like they were in the presence of something great and lifted them all up to feel great as well. He loved that when he was having jamming sessions to figure out new songs she’d pick up her guitar helping him come up with the melodies to his music. Or how she’d sing his lyrics and he could finish a song after she had hummed out a few lines. The chemistry they had was something he had dreamed of.
He knew he loved her and he planned to keep her around so that he could continue to love her. Tous les jours.

#LettresPromises informs you : You have one notification. ──➤ 𝐘𝐎𝐔'𝐕𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐈𝐋!
─➤ @theastroooooworld 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 : ❝oi oi oi nikki ♡! i hope you are well as always. can i have hc's for Tanaka, Ushijima and Bokuto (separately) ? how would they behave with their childhood best friend who supports them since their beginning in volleyball but with whom they gradually fall in love ? thanks !!je t'aime tant, prends soin de toi et des tiens 🧡🌅❞ ─➤ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 : ❝my dearest cam, forgive me for the terrible, terrible sense of never being on time but i’ve heard this letter comes at the right time (hopefully this letter will help a tiny bit while you’re healing.) je t’aime fort fort, prends soin de toi (et de ton tibia et de tes cervicales) et des tiens! sealed with a magic kiss to blow your pain away, nikki.❞
──➤ 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐎𝐁𝐉𝐄𝐂𝐓 : Tanaka, Bokuto and Ushijima gradually fall in love with their childhood best friend. ─➤ 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 : mentions of a nose bleeding.
──➤ Tanaka Ryuunosuke sent you a letter, would you like to read it?
Despite his flamboyant sense of worship for Kiyoko, Tanaka does not know how to handle emotions, romantic ones, that is. Sure, he (alongside with Nishinoya) are willing to kiss each centimeter of concrete blessed by Kiyoko’s footsteps, but despite his burning passion, Tanaka is rendered into a stuttering mess when the attention is focused on him.
He has hidden and sometimes projected his blooming crushes for other people onto proves of love for Kiyoko, and in that sense, knowing he could solely focus his attention on her brought him a sense of security because he is so scared of the unknown, especially romantically-wise.
Hence why, whenever he would find himself appreciating someone who wasn’t Kiyoko a bit too much to his own liking, he would bury that feeling deep down and instead transform these hushed sentiments into demonstrations of love for his one and only goddess.
However.
Sometimes, feelings tend to be a bit stronger when they are mixed with nostalgia, that is, childhood nostalgia. Truth be told, you, Tanaka and Noya were always found together... And often in the worst scenarios (just like that one time you and Ryuu were waiting for Nishinoya and you had to help Tanaka contain all the blood leaking from his nose at the sight of the bombshell accompanying Nishinoya’s grandfather.)
Surely enough, Tanaka had always seen you like the equivalent of Nishinoya, meaning that he would confess every little secret locked in the back of his mind, even those including Kiyoko.
Your presence was comforting, and he always considered you extra fuel to animate his fire whenever you would watch him during practice (and you were the first to throw an empty bottle straight to his head whenever he would throw his shirt off after scoring an impressive bottle.)
But in a very, very dramatic way, Kiyoko found herself become gradually set free of Tanaka’s romantic antics and devotion which led her to question the cause of all of this— despite her dislike for any kind of grandiose display of devotion, the fact Tanaka had started to stop giving her attention was a huge red flag regarding his state.
She hesitated to go talk to Nishinoya, but she was expecting to be met with no serious answer, and instead, just watch him drool during several minutes.
She, thus, went to the next best person who would be able to comprehend this sudden switch in attitude: you, and your lifelong experience regarding Tanaka.
You were undoubtedly quizzical, but things took another turn when Tanaka himself showed up around the corner of the gym, and an uncharacteristic blush crept on his cheeks, Kiyoko took it as a clue to leave you alone.
“Is there anything you wanted to tell me, Ryuu? Are you sick or anything? You haven’t been, you know, following Ki—“
“I like you a whole lot. A lot. Like, a lot.” He confessed, his body was rigid but his eyes testified of all the love he had for you.
You couldn’t help but allow a soft giggle to break free from your lips, “does that mean you’re going to be worshipping me now?”
And as soon as the words died on your lips, his dropped on one knee, and delicately reached for your hand which he enveloped with his palms and soon smothered with love-infused pecks. “Anything for you, my beautiful divinity. I’ve been waiting for this day since we were kids, now I got to worship you everyday, the sunshine of my life.”
──➤ Bokuto Koutarou sent you a letter, would you like to read it?
Before Akaashi came in the picture, you’ve always been his pilar, his rock, his pivot, his safe person. Bokuto soon learned to identify you as the person he could go to if anything were to happen.
You knew firsthand how to handle his emo mode since you were kids, and as a child, Bokuto would make himself appear look sad on purpose just so you could focus your attention on him and smoother him with love and kind touches.
Years later, this side of his personality never faded away, but never did your calming antics, nor did you stop always keeping an eye out on him during practice.
Bokuto expressively asked you to be the manager of the team, he said it was to “give you the best seats in the house to admire the way of the ace”, but truthfully, you were the fuel to the fire burning like an inexorable inferno within him.
You and Akaashi completed one another perfectly to find a balance for Bokuto, but at times, when Bokuto would find himself being overwhelmed by sad thoughts on the court, Akaashi would always suggest him to look at you, sitting on the benches.
It had become a ritual, each time Bokuto felt nervous or tortured by his own emotions, his shining golden orbs would find your frame, and a smile on your end was enough to make him feel at peace again. And that, ever since Bokuto started playing volleyball.
One day, during training, Bokuto had ententered a severe streak of shots, and each time the ball slammed the ground loudly in victory, his eyes darted on your form to study your reaction. He started doing anything to impress you since that day, even the silliest things like carry all the water bottles for you until (inevitably) tripping on the ground.
But striking for your attention and validation over and over again also meant that his emo modes were going to be even more intense too.
As his palm slapped the surface of the ball into a diagonal strike, his body shifted in a straight position, thus transforming the shot into a straight line.
The whines of protest were already leaving his lips, and soon enough his entire body language testified of how his emotions got the best of him: his shoulders were slumped, the tips of his hair faced down, his brows were weakly furrowed. It was a crisis situation.
“Agaaaashehhh! Can you get me Y/N, pleaaaase? I feel like I’m gonna melt and freeze at the same time.” Bokuto pleaded, his golden orbs were glossy under the gathering of the salty pearls in the corner of his eyes.
Without wasting more time, Akaashi jogged to you, and quickly explained the situation with a hint of worry in his tone which was unsual for him.
Your palm brushed Bokuto’s back in a soothing manner, only to find yourself prisoner of his embrace as his forelimbs found shelter on the small of your back, the tip of his nose nestled in the crook of your neck.
“Y/NNNN, I can’t even do diagonal shots anymore... It’s, like, my body goes for diagonal but I keep on hitting straight lines, I feel so dumb and useless...” His words were accompanied by whines of discontent, clearly indicating that this emo situation was more alarming than the others.
Your palm rubbed invisible shapes on his back in a soothing manner, humming at his confessions, “I can’t do anything right, can’t hit diagonal shots, can’t be a good captain, can’t even confess to you that I’ve loved you since day one.”
An angel passed.
“Kou, did— were you serious?”
“Does that mean you don’t like me? ‘S fine, I swear.” He now had his state focused on you, eyes as glossy as ever, and it took you all the strength in the world not to soothe his pain away by smothering him with kisses.
“I like you too, Kou, as big as the sky.” You offered him a genuine smile, your palms having moved to cup his palms while your thumbs were brushing the skin of his cheeks.
The tips of his hair immediately quirked up, and his signature grin throned once more amongst his facial features : “Wooooah! As big as the sky? That’s so big, sunshine! Guess what? I love you as big as the court!”
Another giggle found its way past your lips, soon quieted by the way your planted a peck on his cheek, “That’s a lot, Kou, more than I could’ve ever hoped for.”
And as Bokuto cradles you in his embraces, he excitedly stares at Akaashi who has a hint of a smile on his face, jumping a bit over the excitement.
“Kou, I know you’re happy and all but it’s hard to keep up with your hug if you’re jumping all over the place.”
“My bad, sunshine, you just make me so happy, ya know?”
──➤ Ushijima Wakatoshi sent you a letter, would you like to read it?
Now, I have already stated that Ushijima is not emotionless, rather he decides whether or not something or someone is worthy of the reveal of his emotions. And only three things fit on this list: Tendou, volleyball and yourself.
You actually met Ushijima as a child at an art discovery class for children. Ushijima had isolated himself from the rest of the children because the remarks of his mother were still ringing loud and clear in his head, but when you approached him and complimented how unique of an approach his left hand offered, he was over the moon (not that he showed it though.)
Much like Bokuto, Toshi is the kind of person to associate someone as his safe person, someone he can go to if needed, or at least feel their presence for reassurance. Needless to say, you are this person to Wakatoshi, always have been since the first doodles you’ve shared together.
In his case, Tendou actually pushed you to be the manager of the team, remarking that your presence would probably motivate Ushijima even more and make him more grounded if he had someone to hold on to during games.
To this day, you’ve always stayed late after practice and watched over Wakatoshi, spike after spike, serve after serve, until his fingers were bleeding and the moonshine outshone the neons of the gym.
You always carried medical tape with you, because you knew he was always bound to push behind his limits, only because he knew that you’d always be there for him, which happened to be true.
Now, now. Wakatoshi does know what feelings are, he knows how to recognize them kinesthetisically and tends to do mental notes of how people manifest their own emotions. Thus, he starts to notice the way his stomach creates knots whenever you’re in the same vicinity.
After training, Tendou finds him reading ads in the latest Jump edition, but Ushijima is quick to interrogate him : “Ah, an ad for plant medicine. Do you reckon this would help my stomach ache, Tendou?”
Tendou blinks once, then twice “Mhm, ‘depends on what kind of stomach ache we’re talking about here, Wakatoshi-kun.”
“It‘s odd. It’s not so much painful but it always happens when Y/N is near me.”
Tendou wipes an inexistent tear away in a dramatic manner, “Toshi-kun, you’re not sick at all, you’re in love.”
Since this sudden realization, Wakatoshi tends to avoid you because he believes that despite the sweet nature of this feeling, this stomach ache is taking a bit too much space to his liking.
He realizes soon, however, that the longer he waits, the worse it becomes.
After practice, and in an ever so natural manner, Ushijima grabs your wrist, and sends a glare to the rest of the team in order to silently tell them to leave the gym now that practice is over.
“Y/N, I’m sorry for taking some of your time so suddenly, I hope I did not startle you.” His grip on your wrist fades away slowly, and you offer him a hint of a smile.
“Don’t worry, Toshi, you’re all good.”
“I requested your presence because it seems I have developed feelings for you.”
A vivid blush colors the apples of your cheeks, your mouth is set agape for a few agonizing seconds: “You think or you know?”
“I don’t know.” He replies, and there’s a hint of disappointment in himself at the lack of retrospection on his end.
“Well, let me help you then.” Your palm is now enveloping his cheek in a loving hold, whilst your lips plant a lingering kiss on his opposite cheek, leaving Wakatoshi at loss for words.
“I, um, I’m positive now. I truly have feelings for you.”
