You were sitting in one of the many beautiful gardens the abbey had, tended to by none other than Primo, or Papa Emeritus the first. The sweet smell of Honeysuckle and Rose hit your nose, on this beautiful afternoon.
This was by far your favorite thing to do when you'd finished all your tasks for the day. Hearing little bees buzzing about, birds singing their songs and the quiet rustling of the leaves when a subtle breeze passed the garden gave you peace of mind.
It was refreshing, really, with all the chaos going on inside the abbey all day. You were just sketching away in your little leather-bound sketch book. Whatever you could see, it was going on the page. All kinds of plants, trees, flowers, even a little black cat that sometimes lurked around the unholy grounds adorned your page.
Putting down your pencil and closing your eyes, you took a deep breath and could almost taste the sweet blossoms on your tongue, another familiar smell hit your nose. It was him. A small smile formed on your face, you couldn't help it, he just made you smile. "Hello, Terzo" you said softly, keeping your eyes closed.
"Buonasera, amorina" he answered, his voice sweet like honey. You could melt right then and there just from those two words. Terzo made your heart flutter. He took a seat next to you on the wooden bench at the back of the garden. You two just sat there in a comfortable silence for awhile, just soaking in this gorgeous day.
"What were you doing before I interrupted, Bella?" He questioned. You let out a small laugh. "You didn't interrupt anything, my love" you smiled and he smiled back at you. "You were, eh, sketching something, yes? " you nodded, opening up your little booklet to show him. "Just some flowers I saw around the garden. And that cute black kitty that takes a nap on this bench, I've seen it a few times." You spoke.
"Ah, yes. I've seen the gattino around here as well." He answered. You scooched closer to him so you could show him all the sketches you made. "Here. This is what I did today but there's more from other days as well" you told him, placing the booklet in his gloved hand. He took it and flipped through the pages, admiring your talent and eye for detail.
"These are beautiful, amore" he marveled. He continued adoring your little pieces of art, his lips forming into a smile. "You're so talented, amorina. Have you showed these to Primo? I think he would be as amazed as I am" he smiled. A blush crept up to your cheeks, even after all this time together his compliments still flustered you.
"Not yet. I have thought about it, though. I usually let him go on about the flowers and don't have enough time to show him after" you laughed. Terzo chuckled. That sounds just like his older brother. " I think he would appreciate it." He assured you. You gave him a soft smile in return. He took your hand into his and leaned back against the bench.
He really needed a break. Being Papa is hard work so he truly enjoyed these little moments of peace you two shared from time to time. Terzo closed his eyes, the evening sun perfectly hitting his features. You could stare at him like this for hours. He was so beautiful, inside and out.
He continued to bathe in the sun, you admiring him, before any of you said anything. You didn't want to, but eventually you broke the silence. "Do you have a favorite flower?" You asked him softly. He inhaled deeply before opening his eyes. "I haven't really thought about it. Flowers were always, eh what do you say, Primos 'things?'" You chuckled and he smiled at you, before he continued. "I did see one in one of his flower books, heliotropium, I think it was called. I like that one" you hummed, acknowledging his answer, your hands still intertwined. You asked him why he liked it and he chuckled.
"You with your questions, amore" he laughed. "I'm just interested" you responded. "I know, I know , Bella" he smiled, giving your hand a squeeze. "It has a nice color, a light purple. The meaning of this flower is eternal love and devotion. That's why I like it, because of my eternal love and devotion for you" he said, cupping your cheek with his white-gloved hand, smiling at you.
You couldn't hide the smile that adorned your face, placing your hand on top of the one on your face. He gently stroked his thumb across your cheek, leaning in to give you a passionate kiss. You melted into him, his lips were so soft. He pulled away, leaving you in a haze. It was almost scarry how much power he had over you with just a single kiss. He withdrew his hand and crossed his legs. "So what is your favorite flower, amorina?" he questioned.
"The Edelweiss flower. I'll show you." You opened a fresh page in your sketch book and quickly began sketching an Edelweiss. "It looks something like this" you showed him the drawing and he examined it with care. "It's very beautiful, amore. What color is it?" He smiled softly. "It's white. Edelweiss means 'noble white' in german" you answered. He looked impressed, Terzo loved how educated you were, especially on things like this.
"It's a fitting name" he responded with an adoring smile. "It reminds me of you." You said quietly. He hummed. "How so?" "It stands for perseverance and bravery, as well as renewal. All of those things remind me of you. " You smiled. Taking his hands into yours, you could've sworn you saw the slightest sheen in his eyes. "I'm honored, amorina" Terzo smiled. He kissed your knuckles and lightly squeezed your hand.
"It only grows really high up in the alps, having to break through many layers of stone on its way to the sun. An old tale says, the Edelweiss can prove how strong someone's love is, this is why it's called the lovers flower sometimes. Many men have died trying to get this flower for their lover, but if they return their love will last until the end of time." You continued. You had the biggest smile on your face, sharing these moments with your lover was so precious to you, and to him, no doubt.
Terzo brushed a stray piece of hair out of your face, letting his hand linger on your face. "Your mind truly is beautiful, amore" he spoke softly. You thanked him with a sweet smile. You two stared at eachotherfor a while, admiring the beauty of one another. Terzo broke his gaze and looked around the overgrown garden."I've never noticed how nice this garden is. Perfect place for a glass of Vino, no?" He smirked. You jokingly rolled your eyes at him. "I would like that. Very much, actually." You responded with a smile.
He'd been so busy lately with all of his Papal duties that he had barely any time for you. He would stumble into his chambers every night, half asleep, just exhausted from all of his tasks and duties throughout the day. It broke your heart to see him like that, so him asking you on a date for the first time in a while means he's probably done with the worst of it and Imperator had cut him some slack once in a while, but we all know that won't last too long.
"Great" he clapped his hands together with a smile,"I'll have everything arranged then, amorina" . You too just looked at eachother for a while, getting lost in the others eyes. That was until you could hear Sister Imperator angrily shouting Terzo's name in the distance. He let out a defeated sigh and his head fell forward against your chest. "Why can't she give me a break for 10 fucking minutes" Terzo complained, mumbling something Italian into your chest.
Chuckling, you gently stroked his hair. "We'll have so much time together tomorrow, my love. An entire day without Imperator eyeing you from every corner" you responded softly. He sighed once again, looking up at you. "I suppose you are right, amore" he sighed. You pulled him into a kiss by his neck, hoping this would give him some strength to finish his day. Terzo smiled at you, Oh Sathanas, how he didn't want to leave you. It had been so peaceful, just you and him. He longed for more moments like this. Where he wasn't Papa or the leader of a satanic church. But instead just Terzo. Your Terzo. He got up, straightening his clothing before bidding you goodbye to go see whatever Sister was complaining about now. You blew him a kiss which he caught with his hand, pressing it against his heart. You couldn't wait for your date, just you and the love of your life, in this beautiful, overgrown garden with a glass of wine.
It was now the next day and you had just finished getting ready for your little rendezvous when it knocked on the door of your shared chambers. A smiled spread its way over your face because you knew exactly who it was.
He looked so handsome. I mean, he always did but now he looked especially good. "Buongiorno, Bella" he smirked at you. It was great so seem in his usual horny good spirits. He really was out of it yesterday, at least a little. He could hide his feelings pretty well, but you could tell. You knew him and his heart. You were going to have to talk with Sister Imperator after this. "Good morning to you too, Terzo," you smiled.
"You look lovely as ever, amorina. Shall we?" He asked, holding out his arm for you take. You gladly accepted, and the two of you were on your way. You had made him a little gift after the nice time you had together in the garden yesterday. Terzo and you talked on the way about anything, really.
How your day had been so far, the upcoming plans for a tour, and if the Ghouls were doing well. You already knew that of course,they loved you and wanted you to visit them as often as you could.
Arriving at the garden, there was a classic checkered picnic blanket laid out on the soft grass, with a bottle of wine and some fruit. You two got comfortable, and Terzo filled your glass with wine. "A toast, amore" he spoke with a smile, raising his glass "to you, my lovely bride" "to us" you corrected him with the biggest smile as you clinked your glasses together.
It was a gorgeous day, the sun was out and you were right here, next to Terzo. "Terzo.." You began, he hummed in acknowledgment. "I have a gift for you"
He looked surprised has you handed him a little piece of paper. His eyes widened when he took a look at your gift. It was a beautifully painted image of a heliotropium and an Edelweiss flower, stems weaving around eachother and roots intertwining. The vibrant purple color of the heliotropium contrasted the pure white of the Edelweiss perfectly, just like you two contrasted eachother. Under the flowers were some words written in a neat cursive. 'That our eternal love shall persevere'
"Oh satana aiutami.." he mumbled. He looked at you with the most loving eyes you had ever seen. "Amorina, I.. this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you" he said, tears in his eyes.
"of course, my love" you smiled, placing a hand on his cheek. "Ti amo tanto, amore" he whispered. You were gently stroking his cheek and holding his hand, when he leaned in to kiss you. His kiss was filled with so much passion you felt like you might explode. You slowly pulled away. "I love you too, Terzo" you answered.
The second those words left your mouth, Terzos lips were on yours again, almost desperately. The way he kissed you knocked the air out of your lungs. He placed a hand on your waist and pushed you back onto the picnic blanket. You wrapped your arms around his neck to get him even closer. He pulled away ,painting, his paints smeared.
"I think we should continue this in our chambers, yes?" He panted with a sly grin on his face. You couldn't answer fast enough. He picked you up and carried you all the way to your bedroom where the two of you strengthened the bond of your love for all eternity.

DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE, MORE BLOOD Vol.12 Mukami Ruki [Track 5 + Epilogue]
Original title: 暴かれた罪 & エピローグ
Source: Diabolik Lovers More, More Blood Vol. 12 Mukami Ruki [CD not owned by me]
Audio: Here & here
Seiyuu: Takahiro Sakurai
Translator’s note: God this CD was so mentally draining. > < This final track in particular, Ruki is just so...evil. I feel like this has surpassed the level of ‘sadism’ and he really just wants to make the MC’s life a living hell. :’’) He even literally says it a few times. I honestly can’t help but feel like this Ruki was kind of OOC and I know at least one Ruki stan who would agree with me. xD

Track 5: Exposed Sin
*Ding dong・ Ding dong*
You rush towards the library.
*Rattle*
“...You’re late! How long did you intend to keep me waiting?”
You apologize.
“Oh well. I shall give you credit for coming here running at least. Hurry up and get inside.”
You enter the room.
“You seem cautious. Shouldn’t it be obvious why I called you to the library? I helped you look for resources the other day, and today I’ll have you return the favor. Search for the book with this title.”
Ruki hands you a piece of paper.
*Flip*
“Someone borrowed it for an extended period of time. I heard it had been returned to the library but I can’t find it anywhere. Even the librarian was left puzzled. You shall help me find it as well. Please look through the book shelves in this row. I’ll be looking over on this side.”
You nod.
“A clever response. Bring it to me as soon as you find it. It is a very valuable book. Do not damage it by mistake.”
You start looking around for the book.
*Rustle rustle*
“I heard there’s a seal imprinted on the spine of the book, so you should be able to tell which one is the right one as soon as you spot it. “
*Rustle*
You find the book.
“You’ve already found it? I’m impressed. Treat it with care. I won’t go easy on you if you were to fold one of the pages.”
You grab hold of the book, accidentally dropping all the pages.
“Oi...!? What are you doing...!?”
Ruki stomps over to you.
“The pages are all over the place...What did you do to it!?”
You try and explain.
“Are you trying to make up excuses? Seems like you don’t feel any guilt towards the blunder you just committed. In that case, it cannot be helped. I shall teach it to your body directly.”
You pull out the hourglass.
*Cling*
*Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock*
ーーー
...
“I heard there’s a seal imprinted on the spine of the book, so you should be able to tell which one is the right one as soon as you spot it. “
You sigh in relief.
“What’s wrong? Why do you seem so relieved? I don’t remember giving you permission to take a break? ...Huh?”
Ruki walks over to you.
“It’s right in front of you. This is the one. The book I’ve been looking for.”
You try and stop him.
“What’s wrong? Should I not grab it?”
You explain.
“What are you saying? You claim that the pages have become loose and will fall out? That is ridiculous.”
He takes the book off the shelf.
“Just as I thought, they had it amongst their collection. It has been preserved in great condition as well.”
*Flip*
Your eyes widen in surprise.
“What’s wrong? It looks as if your eyes are going to pop out. ...You said the pages would fall out, no? As you can see, as long as you flip them carefully, there’s no risks involved at all.”
*Flip*
“After all...I’m the one who set this all up.
Your heart stops for a second.
“I put an aged book here on purpose; I should be the only one aware though.”
He walks towards you.
“Of the fact that the book’s binder has broken, so the pages will come falling out. ...So how did you know?”
You flinch.
“The reason is easy. You have used the hourglass once already, haven’t you? That is how you rewinded time, and erased your mistake. Judging by your reaction, this has not been the first time you did so either. These past few days, you have been looping time over and over, haven’t you? I thought something was off, but I finally figured you out. ...I assume you did something which upset me? What exactly did you do?”
You hurriedly pull out the hourglass.
*Rustle rustle*
“You really believe I’d let you use it? I will take this back.”
*Cling*
“Such beautiful red sand. Its decorations truly are sublime as well. However, the magic energy has decreased quite a bit. ...How many times did you rewind? How many times were you punished by me, but rendered it void?”
You remain quiet.
“I can make an estimate even if you don’t give me an answer. Enough times for the magic to be this drained at least. It seems like you need to be punished.”
You try and defend yourself.
“Aah. I did say that, did I not? That I was curious how you would use it. However, using it to cover up your own mistakes is simply inexcusable. You concealed your own mishaps, deceiving those around you...As someone who once read the Bible, I am sure you know just how severe of a sin that is. You must atone for your sins. In that case, I shall lend you a helping hand. ...You were aware, weren’t you? Every time you turned back time, you were the only one who retained your memories. To me...This is the first time I’ve disciplined you in quite some time.
*Rustle*
“I shall teach you thoroughly. From head to toe.”
Ruki bites you.
*Sluuuuurp*
*Gulp gulp*
“Haah...What’s wrong? Have you become worked up because it has been a while since I sucked your blood? ...No, that’s wrong. I suppose that isn’t quite correct. You’ve been rewinding time again and again, haven’t you? Going back, doing things over, but those memories are burnt inside your mind. Did you never consider this? If you were to rewind time, the wounds left on your body would heal, but the pain you received from my fangs remains vivid in your memory. Unharmed skin, striking pain...No wonder your brain would become confused. If you were to repeat this process over and over, you might even go crazy.”
Your face goes pale.
“You only just realized? How foolish. You have been using the hourglass only to cover up your mistakes, haven’t you? However, you should have take notice of the weight of your actions. Well then, now that you understand...I shall give you a gift.”
*Cling*
“The red sand is almost like sand. ...This time, I shall use it.”
*Rustle*
“I shall rewind time and give you my fangs. Then repeat the process over and over. Your mind will slowly become numb from the continuous pain and pleasure. I am sure you can imagine what will happen to you if I keep on rewinding time, piling one memory on top of the other? Your disoriented mind will gradually begin to break. The overwhelming pleasure will make you go insane. You will surely...grow mad.”
You look at him in horror.
“What is wrong? You seem rather pale. You don’t mind, do you? You are the one who already used this hourglass plenty of times. I am sure I would have gone mad at some point as well. Well then, it seems like you understand what I have in store for you. I shall rewind time for us. Break for all I care!”
You beg for his mercy.
“Hmph. Now that’s a lovely cry. I can’t deny that seeing you thoroughly terrified like that does something to me. I see. So you want me to stop, huh? Why don’t you get down on your knees and plea? You might just be able to change my mind.”
You grovel in front of him.
*Rustle*
“I didn’t think you’d actually do it...Seems like your own identity as livestock has really sunken in. Although I suppose that only makes sense. I am the one who tamed you after all. However, it seems like you still fail to understand one thing. Have I ever gone easy on you in the middle of a discipline session?”
You flinch.
“Ah, seems like you remembered. You’ve become a little more clever at least. Seeing you tremble in despair is not a bad sight at all. Well then...Have a taste of Hell...”
*Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock*
ーーー
...
“I see. So this is how you’ve been rewinding time? Your skin is still untouched. It has indeed returned to its previous state, before I pierced it with my fangs. For the sake of your training, I made sure your memories remain intact. Do you remember what I was doing to you up until just now?”
You look at Ruki in fear.
“That look on your face makes for a fine reply. Furthermore, I can pick up the sweet scent of your blood, even though I have yet to bite you. It must be rather rough to be so worked up, no? No matter where I touch you now, it should make for an overwhelming stimulus.”
He steps closer.
“Shall we put it to the test? Just from running my fingers from your throat to your collarbone...”
*Rustle*
“Just as I thought. Simply carressing your skin makes the strong sensations eat away at you. How does it feel to slowly feel your body erode from the surface of your skin? On top of that...This should be nowhere near satisfying in your current state. The stronger the sensation becomes, the easier it will be to use this as a tool to manipulate you. I suppose I shall toy with you like this a little longer. Your arm or your back...Where else do you want me to touch you?”
Ruki paces around you.
“I have to give you an even stronger stimulus.”
You whimper in distress.
“You seem to be having a hard time. To show me such a shameless side of you, it seems like I have not yet disciplined you enough.”
*Smooch*
You squeak.
“I guess you are nearing your limit? Very well. I’ll suck you from behind this time.”
*Rustle rustle*
He bites you again.
*Sluuuurp*
“Mmh...Nn...”
*Gulp*
“Nn...Haah...Such lovely cries...The taste of your blood isn’t bad either. I can tell that your whole body has become heated. Ah, you are already starting to feel faint? Rest assured. We still have plenty of time...”
*Cling*
*Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock*
ーーー
...
“This works.”
You tilt your head to the side.
“Do you not understand? I turned back time. Your body is still unscathed. Like this, you won’t fall unconscious due to blood loss, right? Of course, the pain and pleasure you experienced still remain in your memory.”
You beg for him to stop.
“Not a bad cry at all. However, I shall not stop turning back time until your punishment is over. You are aware, aren’t you? You will only break free from this Hell, the moment you go mad. ...Hurry up and lose your mind already. If you want this suffering to end, that is.”
Ruki bites you again.
“Mmh...Nn...Fufu...Haah...Aah...I suppose I shouldn’t call it ‘suffering’. I suppose pleasure is already the only thing you can feel. Your eyes have lost focus. I doubt you can even still properly pick up my voice...Even your mouth is slacked...Mmh...”
*Smooch*
“What’s wrong? Is this not enough for you? Very well, I shall give it to you. I shall cover you with the marks of my fangs from head to toe. No matter how hard-handedly I treat you, all I need to do is rewind time afterwards. So I can do with this body of yours as I please...Ah, but I suppose it’ll stick in your memories. The intense pain, as well as the pleasure, crystal clear. Seems like you will be in quite the pinch once I rewind. I wonder how long you will be able to remain sane? Please rest assured. I don’t plan on giving you relief any time soon.”
He leans in.
“...I want you to suffer, between sanity and insanity.”
Track 6: Epilogue
*Rustle*
“...So you’ve lost consciousness? Isn’t that a little soon? Your body should still be overflowing with blood. There is just no way you would faint already. Of course, even if you do, I could simply rewind time. However...You better don’t think I will let you go mad so easily. I don’t plan on giving you relief after just one time. Your sin for deceiving me is grave. I shall engrave it deep inside your body, just how foolish and shameless you have been. ...So you can properly atone.”
*Rustle*
“Well then...It is time to wake up. I wonder how I should punish you next? Although, I am sure that whatever I do, it will be like pure torture to you.”
He paces around you.
“I am very much looking forward...to seeing you suffer in Hell.”
*Cling*
*Thud*

My Thoughts On The Last Jedi *spoilers ahead*
Ahead lies thoughts about TLJ that are 100% true to me. Obvious spoilers ahead!
If you don’t think too much while you watch this movie and just take it at face value like a casual watcher, it’s a decent movie. Things blow up, the good guys escape actual extinction; typical action movie. But if you do actually start to think deep about what is actually going on for 2.5+ hours with characters and storylines you’ve been invested in for seven (or eight including Rogue One) movies, the cracks are so much more apparent. Characters are OOC, actual canon stuff that happened in the last movie are conveniently ignored; it’s like a badly written fanfic.
I came in fearing one thing and realized I should have been afraid of everything else, stuff I didn’t even think I needed to worry about because you’d never think they’d fuck up so badly. Though I should’ve realized when Rian said there’d be no time skip that things were just gonna go downhill from there.
Don’t get me wrong, there were things I loved about the movie, and I’ll start with those positives first!
Positives
Poe got more screen time. How they used that time is a different topic, but he had so little scenes in TFA because he was supposed to die in the opening that I’m happy that it got upped in TLJ.
Let the record show, once and for all, that Leia is Force-sensitive. Can you believe that there are still people, to this day, that think that Leia isn’t Force-sensitive? I didn’t even know the Force could work like that, but anything that kept Leia from dying on that bridge is welcomed by me. I was screaming in my head for a long time about how they lied about saying Leia isn’t killed in The Last Jedi until she awoke and propelled herself back to what remained of the ship. Glad that part was true at least!
Holdo’s death was pretty epic. My mixed feelings on her aside, that scene where she jumped to lightspeed through the First Order ship literally silenced the full-capacity theatre I was in. Like, literally—there was no rustling of popcorn bags or whisperings. It was just utterly breathtaking.
Hux and Finn have a scene. I’ve heard a lot of discourse about Hux slapping Finn, and while I understand where they’re coming from, I didn’t think of it on that level. What I did think of is how people are honestly confused as to why Hux actually felt personally attacked enough by Finn to do it. The stormtrooper program is everything to Hux, and Finn is a living, breathing reminder of his failure, that Mr. Perfectionist isn’t all that perfect after all. Wasted potential of a storyline aside, I’m glad they were able to meet.
Luke Skywalker deserves his legend status. LUKE BRUSHED A SPECK OF DIRT OFF HIS SHOULDER AFTER MINUTES OF BEING SHOT UPON. LUKE DID THAT. THE ROOM I WAS IN CHEERED SO LOUDLY AT HIS BADASSERY. IT WAS FUCKING SPECTACULAR. Don’t try to ruin the moment by saying he wasn’t actually there. Just. Don’t.
Kylo Ren’s arc progressed. Honestly his plot line was the whole point of the movie. Everything else was literally, actually meaningless in its wake. People who wanted him to have a redemption arc got a teaser for it, and him ascending to be the main baddie of the trilogy has solidified (which was my favourite of the theories regarding him tbh). It’s weird though, because while I had always hoped he’d off Snoke I honestly didn’t think it’d be that easy. It was too easy, actually. Really anti-climatic. I was hoping for an epic battle but alas. We never even got to find out who Snoke was, his orgin.
Rey’s past is finally revealed. While this, too, was anti-climatic, I’m glad it was addressed (unlike Finn’s, cough cough). I get why they wanted Rey to have come from nothing, to have someone that wasn’t apart of such huge dynasties like being a Skywalker or a Kenobi. Just know that I still love and adore any and all origin headcanons any Rey RPers have <3
The FinnRey was on point. And there was some FinnPoe and FinnReyPoe action. Finn’s and Rey’s first thoughts were always of each other. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TRANSLATE WHAT CHEWIE SAID WHEN HE INTERRUPTED REY ABOUT WHAT TO SAY IF CHEWIE FOUND FINN FIRST? I NEED IT LIKE AIR. Even that look Rey had when she saw the Finn and Rose moment OH BE STILL MY HEART. Also that tracker became the new jacket thing that they shared. Rey had one, and Finn took the one Leia had and then passed it on the Poe like FUCK ME I LOVE THIS. And then POE AND REY FINALLY MEETING IN THE MOVIE? (I mean, in the novel they had met at the end of TFA but I digress.) IT WAS SO CUTE. FUCK. I lived for all the scenes Poe and Finn had together honestly, whew.
The Reylo wasn’t actually there. This was what I was most afraid of going into watching TLJ. I heard enough murmurings about it that I was dreading having to watch it. (I don’t care if you personally like it; it’s just not my cup of tea.) Like, I can see where the shippers would just take and run with what they were given, but I didn’t see anything romantic about their interaction despite how hard they were trying to make it be. I mean, Snoke was the one who forced their Force connection. I just saw two lonely, powerful people who were trying to find someone who understood what they were going through, like, platonically lol Plus, Rey didn’t even join him. That was another thing I was afraid of; Rey going dark. So I was overall pleased by this.
Negatives
Poe was so OOC (as well as 90% of the characters in the movie). Yes, Poe may be very good at blowing things up, made quite the career out of it, but if y’all are trying to help him see that that alone isn’t going to win wars and show him that he’s more than a flyboy maybe y’all shouldn’t be slapping him needlessly or be hypocrites and send him out to do the very thing you just reprimanded him for ten minutes later.
And yes, Poe may be reckless, but only with his own life, never with the lives of his friends and squad and Resistance members that he considers family. Never. Ever.
And yes, Poe had technically defied Leia before in TFA (but that was in the novelization only when he had stayed behind until he had eyes on the Falcon after Starkiller blew up and honestly in the eyes of TLJ he had never defied Leia) it was a) for a damn good reason and b) he had told his squad to leave without him and they chose not to.
So watching Poe defy Leia and risk an entire fleet of bombers to destroy one Destroyer was just painful to watch. Watching some no name newbie character take command over Poe when Leia was out of commission was painful to watch. Watching Poe being treated like he isn’t a brilliant commander and having ALL HIS PLANS FAIL was painful to watch. Fuck, watching Leia taser Poe like he was a fucking terrorist was painful to watch. Honestly I think the whole theatre was stunned when Leia did that, DAMN. It was just all very painful.
Finn is not a traitor, please get that straight. That whole Finn/Rose scene where Rose said Finn was a traitor for trying to escape and lead Rey away from danger like WHEN THE FUCK DID FINN JOIN THE RESISTANCE? DO Y’ALL THINK YOU OWN HIM BECAUSE YOU HEALED HIM? Honestly I didn’t think he was all in until he said he was rebel scum tbh. He admitted that he was only on the Starkiller mission to save Rey, just as he was when he tried to leave. He doesn’t owe anyone shit. Tasing him was so unnecessary.
There was no time skip. Other than being typical of Star Wars trilogy movies, it just would’ve made sense. Can you tell me how the first sentence of the opening crawl said the ‘First Order had won’ or something to that affect? LIKE DID WE WATCH THE SAME MOVIE OR WHAT?
And then somehow the FO had developed tracker tech and didn’t use the entire time they were fighting the Resistance until the Resistance was fleeing D’Qar, which apparently must’ve happened right after they sent Rey off to find Luke because haha Rey and Luke’s first meeting scene is happening concurrently with the rest of this shit. It doesn’t make any sense. Finn recovers so rapidly without any physical therapy (Kylo’s face I can understand because hey the FO has the tech for that advancement).
All of this would just make sense if there was a time skip. The Resistance flees D’Qar shortly after Rey leaves because the First Order knows what system they’re in and it’s only a matter of time before they find out which planet. In the mean time, the FO develops the tracker technology (and all those fancy Destroyer ships and hey when did the Resistance get bombers, why weren’t the used at Starkiller??). The Resistance finds out about from whom the FO gets their funding from and heads to Canto Bight, or hey after a run in with those damn destroyers they know they gotta take them down and the whole Maz-code breaker-Canto thing happens and boom that fight in Canto is where the tracker gets placed and boom the standoff in Crait and during all this they don’t do Luke dirty and Rey really trains and DOESN’T THIS ALL MAKE SO MUCH MORE SENSE?
They did Luke dirty (as well as Ben/Kylo’s origin story). Another victim of being terribly OOC. This man wouldn’t even consider killing his own father but hey, my nephew Ben is being seduced by the Dark Side and I can’t hope to save him even though I saved my father who was even more fargone than Ben so let’s consider killing Ben for a hot second before that becomes a problem thus driving Ben over the edge. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. I’m gonna stick with Ben’s power just exploded, killing everyone, and in his fear he ran to Snoke. Oh, and they killed Luke off. Epic way to go, but still.
Out with the old, in with the new. Jessika, Snap and the rest of the squad from the first movie just mysteriously disappear in TLJ. In their wake we get Rose and Paige and Holdo, of which the latter two’s deaths really don’t impact us as much as they would have if, I don’t know, we knew about them before? Could y’all build up the characters you have instead of bringing in new even more underdeveloped ones?
Kylo Ren and Finn don’t meet. We got a Hux/Finn reunion, where was the Kylo/Finn one? This one actually makes more sense because, I don’t know, Kylo could name Finn by designation and wrecked a console upon hearing that BB-8 was with Finn and HEY HE FUCKING SCREAMED AT FINN FOR BEING A TRAITOR but nah, not one peep in TLJ. Makes sense. Not.
All that wasted storyline potential. Let’s be real here, folks. Everything that didn’t involve Kylo and Rey was utterly meaningless to the plot. Two-thirds of every fucking thing that happened in the movie meant nothing. Tons of people died for nothing and Poe and Finn and Rose got beaten and made to look like fools for nothing and this was really a 2.5+ hour filler movie to ascend Kylo into main antagonist.
Knowing that the people who help fund the First Order hang out in Canto Bight could’ve been huge.
Finn realizing that the same people who sold weapons to the First Order also sold to the Resistance could’ve been huge.
Kylo fighting Snoke could’ve been huge.
Finn returning to the First Order undercover could’ve been huge.
Finn returning to the First Order undercover and getting captured could’ve been huge.
A defecting stormtrooper piloting that machine instead of BB-8, as cool as that was, could’ve been huge.
Poe actually being groomed to become Leia’s successor could’ve been huge.
Finn’s force-sensitivity could’ve been huge. (PRY THAT FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS.)
The parallel between Poe willing to die for a cause and Finn finally finding a cause worth dying for could’ve been huge. (They both could stand to learn from Rose’s words to be honest.)
JUST. ALL. THE. POTENTIAL.
Luke and Leia deserved a real face to face meeting. I thought we had been blessed by a real reunion of the twins only to later find out Luke wasn’t really there. While I’m so glad we got something at all (that forehead touch fucking ENDED ME) I think we all deserved a real meeting. And now we’ll never get one.
There’s probably more for both sides that I’m missing that I’ll probably write as I think of them but I think I got most of it off my chest lmao If you made it this far, congratulations! I applaud you.
TL;DR: The movie had its good moments, but there were a lot of fundamentally wrong moments, too.
#tlj spoilers#the last jedi#star wars#meta#there were a lot of funny moments too#like the opening with poe/hux#and rey literally reaching out instead of with the Force lmAO#but when i've read fanfics with better characterization than this movie#yIKES#that's just sad

DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE, MORE BLOOD Vol.12 Mukami Ruki [Track 4]
Original title: 泥と血
Source: Diabolik Lovers More, More Blood Vol. 12 Mukami Ruki [CD not owned by me]
Audio: Here
Seiyuu: Takahiro Sakurai
Translator’s note: In this household we DO NOT stan a rude man. >(( Ruki keeps roasting the poor MC in this, treating her with 0 respect. I know Diabolik Lovers has always been a dark fantasy with plenty of abusive behavior towards Yui/the MC but I still can’t help but get a weird feeling from this CD. > < It really just feels a little OOC for Ruki to act like this, especially since you are supposed to be dating him by the start of it. Usually the boys have softened up at this point but that is not the case in this CD.

Track 4: Dirt and Blood
The two of you walk through town.
“It is crowded per usual. I cannot stand this noisiness. I do not understand why someone would willingly sacrifice their free time to head outside. Just as I thought, I should have devoted this weekend to reading instead.”
You frown, reminding him that he agreed to join you today.
“I won’t deny that I accepted your offer to head out together. I let you choose the place as well. However, that doesn’t mean I’m actually thrilled about it.”
You sigh.
“If you have the time to get depressed, at least try and entertain me a little. Wasn’t there someplace you wanted to visit?”
You explain.
“I see. You sure love making me go through extra trouble. No matter how many clothes you buy, it will all be for nothing when they end up in shreds. There was this one time you got caught on the thorns of the rose bushes and tore them yourself, no? They have also been ripped up by my brothers after you upset them. Right now, they are wasted every time you are punished by me. In that case, you might as well stop wearing clothes all-together?”
You shake your head in protest.
“Hooh? How come? Have you ever seen a cow or a pig wear clothes? I fail to see why they are necessary to you. It would be much easier to suck your blood without any unnecessary obstacles getting in the way. I dare argue it would be very efficient.”
You pout.
“Sucking your blood, huh...?”
You tilt your head to the side.
“No. I haven’t been feeding off you as of late. I was just thinking how it is somewhat unusual.”
You flinch.
“Taking your blood is an easy task. However, unfortunately for you, I am not that starved. For one, I already got plenty of your blood just by punishing you. So I never felt the need to seek it out on other occasions. That used to be the case, but for some reason, you have been behaving quite well as of late. By the time I realized, I had consumed considerably less of your blood. While I have to give you credit for lowering the burden on your Master, I am curious what changed this sudden change?”
You grow anxious, trying to explain.
“That is a very vague answer. Oh well. Let us quickly get this shopping over with.”
*TIMESKIP*
“Haah...”
*Cling*
“I never thought we wouldn’t just look for clothes for you, but end up choosing something for me as well.”
*Clatter clatter*
“Let me tell you just in case, but I already have everything I need to survive provided to me. There isn’t a single reason for me to buy new clothes. On top of that, I doubt you are capable of choosing something which would suit my tastes. If you understand that, let’s just head back already.”
You show him an outfit.
“How stubborn. ...You want me to wear this? It reminds me of Yuma’s work clothes. Not my style.”
You insist.
“When would I ever have the opportunity to wear this formal suit? Are you going to organize a banquet every night from here on out?”
You continue looking for clothes.
*Clatter clatter*
“So this won’t end until I give one of them a pass, huh? Hand it to me.”
*Rustle*
“I’ll try them on at least. If that’ll satisfy you, we’re heading straight home afterwards.”
*TIMESKIP*
“...What? Stop looking at me with that dumb expression. (1)”
You continue to stare.
“What is the problem? If there is something you have to tell me, then just say so. Noー I think I know already. You’re satisfied with yourself, aren’t you? Because you got me to wear the clothes you picked out. Not only did you make me purchase it on a whim, but you forced me to wear them right away. If this is your way of tormenting me, you’re doing a pretty good job. You’re making me walk around in the clothes you forced upon me. In one of the busiest parts of the city, on top of that. Haah...I see. I suppose this is your way of spicing up your everyday life.”
You shake your head.
“Hooh? That’s not it? Then why would you do this?”
You explain.
“So that’s your reason? You call it ‘matching’, but it’s simply clothes from the same brand, no? You are a rather cheap woman if simply walking together wearing these is enough to satisfy you. ...However, I suppose it is fine. It would be a drag to get changed again now. I’ll play along with your little game until we get home.”
You smile, walking besides him.
“What are you so happy for? I’m saying I’ll keep up with it until we’re home. I don’t remember sharing your opinion on this matter.”
You chuckle.
“Don’t make me repeat myself every time. You can be your merry self all you want, but please don’t assume that this is making me happy as well. Also, watch where you’re going. Be mindful of what you’re carrying in your arms as well. Don’t forget that you’re the one holding the clothes I was wearing prior. The underground is still wet from the rain. If you were to drop them, they’d end up covered in mud. Watch your steーー”
You accidentally drop the clothes.
*Splatter*
“...Haah...I didn’t think you’d drop them as if on cue...”
You panic, trying to pick up the clothes.
*Rustle rustle*
“No need to panic. I am not upset. ...You’re being surprising attentive. It’s because of what I told you earlier, it must have made you worry and therefore you made such a foolish blunder, right?”
You frown, confused by his words.
“When I told you that I have not sucked your blood as of late because you simply haven’t been making very many mistakes. For you to create an ideal opportunity yourself shows your strong devotion towards your Master. However, I understand why you would. I am sure you must be feeling horribly lonely now that I barely get any opportunities to punish you. I can understand why you would try and upset me on purpose like this. A foolish act such as staining my clothes with dirt, that is. ...In that case, I shall treat you hard-handedly just as you wish.”
Ruki grabs hold of your arm.
*Rustle*
“I’ll give you my fangs amidst this crowd. If you fail to suppress your voice, you will be the one getting the weird looks. Show me how well you can endure it.”
You try and offer an alternative solution.
“Yes. You are right that we can simply wash the clothes to clean them. However...that would not change the fact that you dirtied my clothes through a simple slip of the hand. Above all, it is something you pulled because you wanted me to punish you, no? So don’t be modest and accept it.”
*Rustle*
“...I’ll at least do you the favor of sucking from a spot which isn’t very visible. Although I won’t hold back.”
*Smooch*
You flinch.
“What’s wrong? Your breathing has already gotten ragged. You are so shameless, getting worked up over the thought of having your blood sucked. Aah, I suppose that’s not quite right. You’ve had your desires neglected, haven’t you? In that case, I shall quickly give you your reward. Go ahead and writhe in pain.”
Ruki bites you.
*Sluuuurp*
“Mmh...Nn...”
*Gulp*
“...Haah...Phew...Seems like you managed to hold back your voice. However, your new clothes have already been stained by blood. That is exactly why I said you have no use for those. It’s still seeping in...Shall I rub it around? Dyeing your clothes with the color of your blood does not sound like such a bad idea.”
*Rustle*
“You’re letting your voice slip...Aren’t you used to the pain by this point? And above all, this is something you wished for yourself. Why not seem a little happy instead? ...Or is touching the wounds simply not enough to satisfy you? In that case, I shall pierce the same spot with my fangs once more.”
You beg for his mercy.
“Your face looks awful. However, it’s not bad. While we’re out shopping, I’ll use this opportunity to look after my livestock who seems to have gone in heat. I’ll tend to these wounds, as many times as you want.”
*Smooch*
You lose the strength in your legs, falling to the ground.
*Thud*
“Heh...Such a small stimulus did the trick? You’re overreacting. Besides, did I not tell you that the ground is still wet? Yet you chose to sit down yourself. Did you want to play in the mud, perhaps? In that case, I shall push you down, effectively covering you in dirty. Go ahead and cry about, bathing in the mud and your own blood...!
You pull out the hourglass.
*Cling*
*Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock - Tick tock*
ーーー
...
“So that’s your reason? You call it ‘matching’, but it’s simply clothes from the same brand, no? You are a rather cheap woman if simply walking together wearing these is enough to satisfy you. ...However, I suppose it is fine. It would be a drag to get changed again now. I’ll play along with your little game until we get home.”
You come to a halt.
“What are you doing? If you stand still, you’ll get lost in the crowd. ...Did you forgot to buy something, perhaps?”
You shake your head.
“I see. Let us hurry home then. Also...You’re clutching onto those way too tightly. I assume you’re being careful not to drop my clothes. However, you’ll wrinkle them. Just hold them regularly. What are you being so cautious for? No...I suppose they would end up covered in mud if you were to drop them. Which means that was a very wise decision on your part. I am surprised you managed to think of that with that lacking brain of yours.”
You pout.
“On second thought, you have been far too smart as of late. Like a rabbit who skillfully moves around a trap. It seems like clever wild animals are actually capable of avoiding traps set up for them. Don’t you think your current situation is very similar?”
You remain quiet.
“...I suppose I should have kept that to myself. Well then, let us head home. I want to enjoy a good book once we’re back.”
Ruki starts walking away.
ーー TO BE CONTINUED ーー
Translation notes
(1) Ruki describes her face as 締まりのない or ‘shimari no nai’ which literally means ‘slack’ or ‘sloppy’. In Diabolik Lovers, they often use it whenever the MC is smiling at them.
