(1/2) heyo! I am running behind and just listened to your ep on 4x22 (fantastic as always). I havent listened to the season 4 wrap up yet, so if you have already addressed this feel free to disregard! you mentioned a few times being confused by lilith's actions this ep and i just wanted to say that i have always read this ep as very much her following the plan, not trying to survive. she is at the st mary's precisely so that sam can kill her there and raise lucifer. ik y'all like the sam as the

(2/2) Jesus to Lucifer's Gd ideal but imo for the demonic version of christianity, that is Lilith! She is the child of her god, in whom he is well pleased, and with her death the curtain in the temple is torn asunder and the people are given direct access to her god! she is the sacrificial lamb, sam is just like. the roman state? ig? and 4x18 is just her garden of gethsemene moment where she is bargaining for a way to have the cup taken away from her. but she and ruby were in it together

HELLOOOO TY FOR THIS we did not mention it in the s4 wrapup! first u r sooo right about lilith as a jesus figure!!! like lucifer twisted and shaped her soul and then led her to the abattoir! sam as roman state is so true maybe w a dash of pharaoh bc azazel kept hardening his heart through the baby demon blood feeding and the psychic hunger games and the ruby in general. and 4.18 as garden of gethsemane makes so much sense actually! (lilith should've sung jesus christ superstar in 4.18 or they should've killed wishful thinking worst ep evah to put a musical episode in after 4.18. they could justify it as a "chuck's author powers go off the rails" fun time. this is what riverdale does right) and after she has her moment of doubt she recovers and tells ruby where to find her personal chef so sam can drink and kill her in preparation for the big sacrifice. i think i was also thrown by "don't be afraid. we're going to save the world" in 4.22 but to her paradise on earth IS demons coming up to rule it so that works too. man sorry to lilith that all that happened i hope she and ruby are lying next to each other in the empty complaining about sam and swapping torture tips

Heyo! 25 year old female writer here. I’m eighteen plus so please please please ensure you are before writing to me! Now about me, I do work, quick fire would be nice but I can’t always be here. So you may see me post more depending on what ideas I’ve got and what cravings I have. But with my time off you can guarantee I’ll be posting more! Just a heads up I’m looking for clean roleplays, however that said I’m not totally opposed to some nsfw provided it isn’t forced nor does it take from plot or story! I wouldn’t mind some dominant males or those who can play dominant male characters from the below fandoms! I do prefer discord to conduct roleplays purely for the purpose of being able to keep things more organised! My discord is eleanorewinchester

So I’m looking for those of you who can use third person, past tense and lots of detail. I say this not to be mean but because I do consider myself to be advanced literate, I expect potential partners to be the same! I’m looking for oc (me) x dominant male canon characters from the above movies but I will enclose further fandoms and movies with in the post! I use third and past tense and would be grateful if you do too! Please note I do have dyslexia. I’d love to get some aus going as well as some love triangles. Doubles are welcome! But please note ALL my roleplays are doubles. I will be prioritising those of you who don’t want to double and are happy to play canons. I’m just getting to a point where doubles feel transactional, I’d like to do something for myself where I can :).

I’m also craving; Fast & Furious (please?! I would kill for a good detailed roleplay), Sherlock (please?!), Shadowhunters (please I beg?!), A Court of Thorns and roses, Supernatural, The Musketeers (bbc show), My Life With the Walters, Hunger Games (originals and prequel), GG at the moment as well! I’d honestly kill for someone to play; Sherlock Holmes, Dean Winchester or Jace Wayland, Jules or Mark.

I’d love our roleplay to be something of comfort to us both. Something to cheer us up and keep us engaged in the story! If you’ve got any wild ideas you’ve been dying to do for the below fandoms send them my way if it’s doubles I’ll do my best to accommodate them! If there’s a character in brackets that’s who I’m looking to ship with, I need you to play them!

Fandoms I seek include:

Fast and furious (Brian)

Shadowhunters (Book/Show verse) (Jace, Julian, Mark)

My outfit including accessories :D

Purple shirt with a skull and mushrooms that has the words “mind control”, “lost paradise” and “DREAMS” on it.

A stiles stilinski lacrosse hoodie.

Black shorts.

A sterling silver ring on my left middle finger that’s a crown.

A black ring on my right thumb that says Stranger things on one side and 011 on the other.

Four rubber bands on my left wrist: one is blue and black which says “live to ride-Grit.”, one is pink and black and says “live to ride-Grit.” One is rainbow and says “head here for help” with a QR code and the last one is black and grey and says “CS/crisp”

On my right wrist: a southside serpent bracelet (I am not a riverdale fan), a sister made bracelet that says “NF” a hair band and a cheap silver friendship bracelet me and my younger sister and older sibling made that has a crystal heart and is suppose to have a rainbow charm but it’s broken and doesn’t stay on :(.

A hanging black arrow earring in my left ear

And finally 1980s style tmnt socks!

#outfit #am I cool #poll #tmnt #southside serpents #stranger things #teenwolf #do you like my outfit

Reality Bytes, Chapter 3: Little Gothic Castle

The four boys stopped the recording after fifteen minutes of trying to settle on an outro, then started a new one for the new video.

“Okay, so, we can play now, right?” Yuri asked. By this time he was no longer able to conceal the hope and excitement in his voice. Yuya immediately grinned and teased him playfully, “Wow, Yuri, you’re pretty eager to play! Didn’t you say that Reality Bytes was a girl game?”

“Shushit, Yuya! Let’s just play the game!” Yuri said, his cheeks flushing slightly. His counterparts giggled, and Yuya said, “Alright, we can play. But first we have to move Zarc into his new home!”

The computer screen now showed a world map with a bunch of different icons all over it. Yuya smiled and said, “Oh, wow! This game has way more base game Settlements than any of the other Reality Bytes games!”

“Have you played the other games?” Yugo asked him. Yuya nodded and said, “Yeah, I actually own all of the games. I’ve been playing since I was like… I wanna say five? Back when the first Reality Bytes game was still relatively new. It came out shortly after I was born, and Mom loved playing it in her free time. My earliest memory of Reality Bytes is when Mom let me play on the computer and she went to get me a snack, and in the short timespan that she was in the kitchen I managed to set my house on fire and all my little Folks were dead by the time Mom came back. I didn’t understand what was going on, cuz I was five. But yeah, I’ve been playing Reality Bytes ever since then. So I know a thing or two about how to play.”

“Oh thank god, we got someone with experience,” Yuto said, relieved. “You can make sure we don’t accidentally kill off Zarc, right?”

“Definitely,” Yuya reassured him. “I know all of the basic deaths that are generally included in the base games and good ways to avoid them. There’s drowning, fire, electrocution, freezing, heatstroke, sickness, and food poisoning. Other death types are usually added through game packs, like in Reality Bytes Historical, the tenth game in the series, they added Death by Swordfighting and other historical death types with the game packs that added the time period they were from. And in Reality Bytes II, Folks could die of rabies if they were bitten by a wild animal if they had the Wilderness pack.”

“How many Settlements do the other base games have?” Yugo asked. Yuya replied, “Usually between one and three, though Historical had five. But you couldn’t travel between those five very easily. I think the company that previously owned the Reality Bytes sold it cuz they were getting a lot of criticism from the eleventh game because it was so buggy and had very little content for the prices and every time they released a new pack, it was broken. So the new company promised to make the twelfth game the best in the series. They said that almost everything that was added to the previous games through packs would be part of the base game in the twelfth game, like occult Folks, celebrities, seasons, college, hotels, pets, and more, as well as a lot of new stuff. I think one of the new things is actually being able to go to school and work with the Folks. Oh, and the various modes, too. Those are definitely new.”

“So, how many Settlements do we have in this game?” Yuri asked. Yuya looked at the computer screen and counted. “Fifteen, but I think that’s just the Settlements in Free Mode. I think all the other modes have their own Settlements. So let’s see. There’s Sunrise City, the metropolis. There’s Crystal Bay, the island paradise. Green Springs, the suburban town. Diamondback Palms, the desert town. Mount Shimmersnow, the mountain village. Agrippina Woods, the forest town. Riverdale Acres, the farming community. Darkfall Valley, the gothic town. That one was one of the Settlements mentioned by the developers as a base game occult Settlement. Uhm, Silver Falls, the lakeside houseboat community. Seraphina City, another base game occult Settlement. I think that one is bigger and has enough neighborhoods for each base occult to have their own, plus a few extras for mixed communities and non-occult communities. Ah, let’s see, what am I missing… Oh, Starlight City, the big celebrity city. Oh! Paradigm City, that’s the capital of the main Reality Bytes nation, interesting to see it finally be added to a game! It’s only ever been mentioned in the other games! There’s San Selido, the jungle settlement, that one is supposed to have a lot of treehouse homes. Evermore, the college town. And Debutown, a giant empty city made specifically for people who like to build their own stuff and populate the Settlements themselves.”

“Wait, we can build our own house?” Yuto asked, intrigued. Yuya nodded. “Yep, each of the neighborhoods in each of the Settlements has at least one empty lot for people to build their own things, and at least three of the houses already built in each neighborhood are uninhabited and ready to move in. Plus, each Settlement has at least four neighborhoods. One lower-class, one middle-class, one upper class, and one commercial.”

“Okay, I wanna build Zarc’s house,” Yuri said. Yugo nodded eagerly, “Yeah, it’ll probably suck, unless Yuya’s good at building in Reality Bytes, but we gotta at least try!”

Yuya’s eyes widened and he chortled, “Uhm, yeah, I’m no good at building. It’s gonna be terrible. I usually just download houses or place my Folks in pre-made houses. The last time I tried to build, it ended up looking like an architect’s worst nightmare. The placement of the windows and doors made it look like it was staring into my soul…”

Yuto chuckled. “Well then, let’s build a house! Now, where should we build it?”

“Well, if Zarc wants to be an A-List Actor, then what better place for him to live than the big celebrity city?” Yuri suggested. “What’s its name again?”

“Starlight City,” Yuya reminded him, clicking on the map icon for the city. The map slide-transitioned to a new map, this one of the city itself. The four boys’ eyes widened at all the details and lots, and they spoke together, “Whoa!”

“That is so cool!” Yugo said excitedly. Yuri nodded in agreement. “And look! There’s six residential neighborhoods! Let’s take a look!”

They started checking out the neighborhoods, first starting with what appeared to be the poorest neighborhood. The houses looked like they were very cheap, and Yuri pursed his lips. “No. We don’t want Zarc to live in a trailer park. Just no. He deserves better.”

“How about here?” Yuya suggested, moving on to what seemed to be the working class neighborhood. The houses in that neighborhood appeared to be rather decent, albeit a bit small and with no backyards. The empty lots in the neighborhood were also small.

“Eh, too small,” Yuto said. “Next neighborhood.”

The next neighborhood was clearly the middle class neighborhood. The houses were quite nice, ranging from small two-bedroom houses to modest two-story houses, and they all had very nice backyards. The empty lots appeared to be the same size as the lots that the two-story houses were on.

“That could be a nice place to live,” Yugo said. “Oh, and look! That empty lot is right next to a river! Maybe Zarc could get into fishing!”

“Oh my god, guys look! It’s a little black castle!” Yuri said suddenly, pointing at a house in what seemed to be the upper-middle class neighborhood. “Yuto’s dream home!”

“Oh my god, it really is!” Yuto exclaimed, looking at the little gothic castle in delight. “Can Zarc live there?”

“No, someone already lives there,” Yuya pointed out. “See that little white soccer ball-shaped glowy orb over it? That means someone lives there.”

“Ah, just kick them out and let’s steal their home!” Yuto said. Yugo giggled. “Can I just say, that castle is totally throwing off the neighborhood’s feng shui. You’ve got all those nice pastel houses and then it’s just black castle of death! and the vibe is ruined.”

“Exactly my kind of house!” Yuto said. “C’mon, let’s just kick them out!”

“We can’t,” Yuya explained. “Not until we move in somewhere. We’re in Moving Mode, which means we can’t evict anyone yet. Also, I’m pretty sure we can’t afford the gothic castle yet. We only have 35,000 ByteCoin.”

“Really? ByteCoin?” Yuri asked, unimpressed. Yuya shrugged. “That’s the name of the currency in Reality Bytes. Yuri raised an eyebrow, then rolled his eyes and shook his head. “Puns.”

“We seriously can’t afford my dream home?” Yuto asked, slightly devastated. Yuya patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry, Yuto. We’ll make our house black so it can be gothy for you. And if we can afford it, we’ll even put in a tower or two!”

This seemed to pacify Yuto, and he settled down so that the boys could continue checking out the rest of the city. They moved on from the upper-middle class area to the upper class area, impressed by the mansions. Yugo’s tourmaline eyes were sparkling and he said, “Now that is where I wanna live! It’s like Tops territory!”

“We should totally move into one of the empty lots and ruin the feng shui of the neighborhood to avenge Yuto,” Yuri giggled. “Build our crappy little poor house with its gothic black exterior and tower, and make the neighbors ashamed to have us living next door.”

“Yes,” Yuto said immediately. “Avenge me. Zarc must live in a rich neighborhood and ruin the feng shui.”

“Well, before we settle on this neighborhood, there’s one more to check out,” Yuya said. “The 1% neighborhood. The neighborhood with the biggest mansions. It looks like they’re like multi-billion yen houses!”

“Ooh, change of plans!” Yugo said eagerly. “We move into the biggest empty lot in that neighborhood, build our crappy little poor house, making it black with a tower for Yuto, and make the whole city scandalized!”

Yuto, Yuri, and Yuya all hummed in agreement, and looked for the biggest empty lot in the elite neighborhood. It didn’t take them too long to find it. It was an incredibly massive lot of 100 by 100 squares, and it appeared to be on the highest peak in the entire city. Yuya read the price and winced. “It’s going to cost us 17,500 ByteCoin to buy this lot. That’s literally half our money if I’ve done the math correctly. Which I probably haven’t. We’re all 100% certain it’s gonna be worth it?”

“Yes,” his three counterparts said together. Yuya gave a nod and moved the Zarc-Folk into the lot. As the game loaded, Yuya selected the Renovate button and smiled. “We’ve got 17,500 ByteCoin to build a poor man’s gothic castle. Let’s do this!”

There was suddenly a knock at the door and Yoko called out, “Boys, I brought you some cookies and milk!”

Yugo squealed in excitement. “Cookies! I love cookies!”

Yoko opened the door and walked in with a big plate of chocolate chip cookies and four tall glasses of milk on a tray. “Here you go, boys! Eat up!”

“Thanks Mom!” Yuya said happily. “Oh, hey Mom! Say hi to the camera!”

“Oh, are you recording your play session?” Yoko asked, smiling brightly. Yuto nodded, “Yeah, we’ve decided to start a gaming channel playing Reality Bytes.”

“It was my idea,” Yuri said proudly. Yoko beamed and said, “Sounds like fun! Enjoy your games!”

As she left the room, Yugo looked at Yuya. “Your mom’s awesome!” he said, stuffing his mouth with a cookie. Yuya smiled and replied, “I know. Now, let’s build Zarc’s house!”

“Okay, so how do we do that?” Yuto asked, scooting a little closer to the computer. At that, Yuya froze and blanked for a moment, before responding. “Uhm, well, we could draw the walls for the building and rooms ourselves but… Oh! This Reality Bytes game has pre-made rooms that we can place on the lot! They come fully furnished!”

“Oh, well if we do that, then the final product will probably look awful and ruin the feng shui of the neighborhood even more…” Yuri mused. “Let’s do it!”

“Yeah!” Yugo said eagerly. Yuto chuckled and the boys started searching through the pre-made rooms.

“We gotta keep in mind our budget of 17,500,” Yuya reminded his counterparts. “Plus we need to save some money for the tower. So we should probably go with cheap options.”

“Let’s start with the living room,” Yuto suggested. The boys selected the Living Room tab and laughed at the first option. “It’s so awful!” Yugo exclaimed. The first and cheapest option had a simple two-seater sofa and matching chair that looked very old and shabby, a coffee table with a small dead-looking houseplant, a poorly-lit ceiling light, and literally nothing else.

“Okay, I know we want to bring shame to the neighborhood, but we can’t make Zarc live with such an awful living room,” Yuya pointed out. “Folks are affected by environment. Make the house look as out of place as possible from the outside, but we need to at least give Zarc some decent things so he’s not uncomfortable.”

“Fair enough,” Yuri agreed. “The second option looks pretty decent from what I can see.” He was right, the second cheapest living room was a much needed upgrade. It had two nice three-seater vinyl-looking sofas and a matching chair, a coffee table with a living houseplant, a rug, a little TV on a console table, two end tables with lamps on them, a matching floor lamp, and a chandelier. It even had a few paintings on the walls!

“Wow, that’s actually really nice!” Yuto said, impressed. “And that’s just the second cheapest living room?”

“Mhm!” Yuya said, selecting the room and placing it near the front of the lot. Then he zoomed out and the boys laughed at how tiny it was compared to the rest of the massive lot. The living room was only 5 by 6 squares.

“Oh my god, the neighbors are gonna hate us!” Yuto laughed. Yuya giggled and replied, “I know right! And it’s only going to get worse! Now let’s go to the kitchen!”

He selected the kitchen tab and the boys scooted closer to the screen in anticipation. Yugo blinked at the first kitchen and said, “Okay, we can’t do that kitchen. It looks too much like the kitchen Rin and I grew up with. What’s the second option?”

The first kitchen was absolutely tiny, only 3 by 4 squares with an old cheap refrigerator that looked like it was one door-slam away from the dump, a stained counter, a cheap stove that looked like it wouldn’t even turn on half the time, and a sink. The floors were linoleum and the ceiling light matched the first living room’s ceiling light.

The second option was quite nice, a 4 by 4 room with several granite-looking counters, a matching island, a decent stove and fridge, and a better sink than the first one. The floors were tile, the light was a pendant light, and there were even some upper cabinets, a stove vent, and a bowl of fruit!

“Are all the second cheapest options this nice?” Yuya asked, tilting his head as the boys placed the kitchen right behind the living room. Yugo shrugged. “I don’t know, but we need to get some barstools for the island so Zarc can sit down to eat.”

He took the mouse and accidentally clicked on the stove as he was moving the mouse toward the catalog. The stove moved with the mouse, and Yugo yelped. “Ack! No! Stop! Go away stove! Go back to where you were! Shoo! Yuya! Yuya, help! I don’t know how to control this game!”

Yuya quickly took the mouse and moved the stove back to where it was supposed to be, clicking to place it. “You click once to pick up and click a second time to put down,” he explained, smiling. Yugo blushed. “Oh, I knew that…”

Yuri snorted and took the mouse from Yuya, being very careful not to click. He selected the catalog and searched for barstools. He selected a rather cute pink barstool and placed it at the island, then selected a second, purple barstool and placed it as well.

At this, Yuto raised an eyebrow. “Two?” he asked. Yuri looked at him. “Well, what if he has a date come over for dinner?”

“They’ll be scared away by Zarc’s datewear,” Yuya said with a grin. At this, the four boys started giggling like maniacs, remembering the teddy bear mascot costume.

After his giggles subsided, Yuri grinned. “Okay, now, before anything else, Zarc needs a bedroom and then a bathroom. Let’s see the options!”

The first pre-made bedroom was just as disappointing as the cheapest kitchen and living room. All it had was a cot, a dresser, and the same ceiling light as the others. Yuya made a face. “No. Just no. This is a house, not a prison!”

He selected the second option expectantly. This one was nicer, as the boys had come to expect, a 4 by 5 room with a double bed, a wall light and painting over the bed, a chair that matched the one in the living room, a rug, a wardrobe, a floor lamp, and a globe pendant ceiling light.

“Ah, yeah, now that’s more like it!” Yuya said, pleased as punch as he placed the bedroom directly next to the living room. Then he said, “Now it’s time for the bathroom! Who wants to bet that the cheapest one sucks and the second-cheapest one is really nice?”

Just as they suspected, the cheapest bathroom was simply awful. A 2 by 3 room with a toilet, sink, bathtub, and flimsy-looking mirror, as well as the same linoleum as the cheapest kitchen and the same ceiling lights they’d come to expect. The second cheapest bathroom was, as expected, much nicer, a 3 by 4 room with a shower, a fancy sink, a nicer looking toilet, a better mirror, and a houseplant. The floor was tile, the ceiling light was a chandelier, and the walls were white tile with one blue-painted accent wall.

“Bam!” Yuya said, placing the room directly behind the bedroom and next to the kitchen. Yuri nodded in approval. “Gotta have that bathroom close to the bedroom so nobody uses the sink as a urinal in the middle of the night!” Everyone looked at him in confusion, and Yuri scowled. “Someone did that once at Academia. True story.”

“Seriously?” Yuya asked. “Who does that?” Yuri shrugged. “The Obelisk Force, apparently.”

“Weren’t they supposed to be the elite students?” Yuto asked, unimpressed. Yuri just shrugged again.

Suddenly, Yuya’s duel disk played a little tune, and Yuya’s eyes widened. He dropped the mouse and scrambled over Yuri and Yugo, who were sitting between him and his duel disk. The two counterparts yelped and tried to get out from under him, but the tomato-head appeared to be very determined to get to his duel disk at any cost. He managed to grab his duel disk and clambered back over Yuri and Yugo back to his own seat, looking down at his duel disk with a lovey-dovey look on his face.

“Yuya!” Yugo scolded, pouting at the tomato. Yuya glanced up at him innocently and said, “Shingo’s texting me!”

“Someone’s in loooooove!~” Yuri teased, causing Yuya to blush brightly. “W-well if I don’t text him back within fifteen minutes of him texting me, he’ll start spamming me with messages until I respond!” he protested.

“A fifteen-minute time limit, and yet you drop everything and rush to check your texts the moment you hear his text sound go off?” Yuto raised his eyebrow in slight amusement.

“Yep, someone’s in love!” Yuri grinned. Yuya blushed brighter, and pouted, looking down at Shingo’s text. He lit up in delight when he read it. “Oh! Shingo’s inviting me and Reiji out to the skating rink this evening!”

“Really?” Yuri asked. “Both of you? Don’t he and Reiji normally only invite you out, and not each other?”

“Maybe he wants to show off, and have a competition between him and Reiji to impress Yuya with their skating skills?” Yugo suggested. “After all, both of them do tend to try to one-up each other to impress him.”

“That’s actually a good point,” Yuri conceded. “I wouldn’t be too surprised if that’s actually why Sawatari invited Reiji as well. He really is a bit of a show-off!”

“Moving on!” Yuya said, having sent a text to Shingo accepting his invitation during the conversation. “We’ve only got 4,644 ByteCoin left. Gotta add the tower now. Where do you want it, Yuto?”

Yuto studied the building they’d made from the rooms for a bit, then asked, “Can we put it at the front where the living room is, and put the front door on it?”

“Oh, that sounds perfect!” Yuri said. Yuya carefully added a 2 square long 4 square wide half-octagon to the front of the living room, then moved up a floor and built an octagonal room above the half-octagon. He then added an octagonal roof to the tower and placed a couple of gabled roofs on top of the first floor. “You know, that doesn’t actually look all that bad! Definitely better than I’ve ever done on my own!”

“Great! What’s next?” Yugo asked. Yuya considered for a moment, then said, “We need to paint the outside walls black, and add some windows and a front door. Oh, and a trash can too, cuz trash is a thing in Reality Bytes.”

Yuto took the mouse and began looking for a good black wall texture. He quickly found a black stone one that looked like it belonged on a proper castle. “Oh, perfect!” he said, delighted. “Uhm, how do I put it on the walls?”

Yuya smiled and took the mouse again, showing his counterparts how to paint the walls. He covered all the exterior walls in black stone, then looked at Yuto for his opinion. Yuto nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with the result. “Windows?”

The boys searched through the window catalog, and quickly found windows that were clearly made for a castle. And they came in black too! Yuri tilted his head and asked, “Is there a castle in this game?”

“I think so, in Paradigm City,” Yuya replied. “Like I said before, that’s the capital of the nation that most of the Reality Bytes games take place in, and it’s a monarchy too, so I think the royal family lives in a medieval-style castle.”

“Interesting,” Yuri said. “Maybe Zarc should befriend the royal family. They could fund his lifestyle!”

“I mean, he doesn’t have very much money left,” Yuya pointed out. “And the windows are… Good grief! 125 ByteCoin for these little windows?! The bigger castle windows are the same price as these little ones! We’ve only got 3,726 ByteCoin left!”

“We gotta be careful how we place the windows then,” Yuto said. “Let’s see, I’m thinking we do three of these big windows in the bedroom, two on the side and one in the front, then two on the side of the living room. And then place four little ones on the side of the kitchen like so, so that they look like two bigger windows, and then do the same here in the bathroom—”

“Yuto, you’re using up all our money!” Yuya interjected, eyeing the funds. Yuto replied, “I’m almost done. Now, let’s add some little windows to the tower like this—”

“Yuto! Yuto, we don’t even have a door! How is Zarc going to get inside his house if he doesn’t have a front door?” Yuya said, trying to take the mouse.

“Ah, don’t worry, he can just camp on the lawn!” Yugo said, grinning. “You should add more windows, Yuto! Make your dreams come true!”

“No, no, no more windows!” Yuya said, still trying to get the mouse from Yuto. The eggplant-haired counterpart grinned and added one more window, before opening the door catalog. “Relax, Yuya, we still have 526 ByteCoin for doors. And look! There’s a bunch of 30 ByteCoin doors!”

“Oh thank god,” Yuya muttered, relaxing a bit. His relief was short-lived, as Yuto immediately selected a 500 ByteCoin door clearly designed for a castle. “Yuto! We’re not gonna be able to afford to eat!”

“Psh, who needs food?” Yuri said, grinning. Yuto looked at Yuya pleadingly. “C’mon, Yuya? This door is perfect for our poor man’s gothic castle! Please?”

Yuya groaned, then said, “Alright, fine. But we’re gonna need to get Zarc a job immediately.”

Yuto hugged him tightly. “Thanks, Yuya! This is why you’re my favorite!”

“Yuya’s my favorite too!” Yugo said, also hugging Yuya. Yuri grinned and joined the group hug, “Yuya’s everyone’s favorite!”

“Aww, thanks guys,” Yuya said, his voice muffled slightly from the group hug. “So, should we finish Zarc’s house and start actually playing?”

“Yeah!” Yuri said eagerly as the counterparts ended the group hug and sat back in their seats. “What’s left?”

“We need a trash can,” Yuya said. “The cheapest one appears to be 20 ByteCoin. That’ll leave us 6 ByteCoin for food which, if the prices of food have remained the same as Reality Bytes X, is enough for a single serving of salad and a bowl of mac n’ cheese.”

“Perfect!” Yuri selected the trash can and placed it outside behind the bathroom. “Then that’s Zarc’s house done!”

“Oh wait!” Yuya exclaimed. “Mailbox! He needs a mailbox! In Reality Bytes VIII, IX, and X, if you didn’t have a mailbox, one would spawn in your house right in front of the front door and block the way in.”

“Will we be able to afford salad?” Yuri asked. Yuya nodded, searching through the catalog for mailboxes. “Yeah, mailboxes are free. Mailboxes have always been free. I think we should get this wall mailbox and put it on the outside wall of the living room that doesn’t have any windows. Look, it even comes in black!”

“Black like my soul!” Yuto joked as Yuya placed the mailbox. “My gothic castle is complete!”

Yuri chuckled. “I mean, it’s not even a castle, it’s got gabled roofs and no battlements! It’s just got a tower!”

“Well, roofs are free, and battlements cost money,” Yuya pointed out, showing him the battlement-style fences. “We’re gonna have to earn the battlements.”

“Gotta love how we all just collectively decided to make a gothic castle because Yuto wanted that one in the upper-middle class area,” Yugo chuckled.

“Well, let’s see how it looks!” Yuya said, zooming out a little and rotating the camera around the house. After a moment’s observation, Yuri hummed, “Seems a little short to be a castle.”

“Yeah, but that’s just how tall the walls are in these games,” Yuya explained. As he spoke, he accidentally clicked on a button on the toolbar at the top of the screen, and the walls suddenly got taller. Yuya stared for a moment, then exclaimed, “Well that’s a new feature! We can make the walls bigger?”

“Now it looks like a proper castle height!” Yuri said with a grin. “Can we adjust the position of the windows to look better?”

“Uhm…?” Yuya clicked on a window and moved it up a bit. “Apparently! That’s also new! They didn’t have those features in any of the previous games!”

The four boys adjusted the windows, then sat back and smiled. “It’s perfect!” Yuto said, pleased. “All it needs now is to replace the gabled roofs with battlements, but like you said we’ll need to earn them.”

“I’m glad you like it!” Yuya said. “It’s actually the best house I’ve ever built in this game series! And that’s probably because it’s made entirely of pre-built rooms.”

“So now we play?” Yuri asked, now no longer bothering to even try to hide his excitement. Yuya grinned and nodded. “Now we play!”

This Side of Paradise

Fandom: Riverdale Pairing: Jughead Jones x Male!Reader Summary: so if you’re lonely, no need to show me, if you’re lonely come be lonely with me. a song you made for jughead. Word Count: 1,549 Warning: Smoking, mentions of weed A/n; inspired by the song this side of paradise by coyote theory

You stare at him inquisitively, you and Jughead are two different people. You were a music kid, very popular in school. You were in the band, and your school is very up the ass with music because there are so many talented kids. Jughead prefers to be alone and you were always in crowds.

Jughead had no bad feelings towards you, you went to the same elementary school, middle school and now high school - objectively you two grew up together alongside with Archie and Betty. He watched you from being his friend to drift away to bigger crowds, boys and girls alike to worship the ground you walk upon.

You were a popular band in Riverdale, you get a lot of money for gigs and parties. Jughead knows you’re going to a successful music college, you’re going to make it big in the world. Even as a high schooler, your band is getting streams on your platforms, you were already a rising star. Jughead was happy for you, but there are times where he wished there wasn’t a big crowd or a group around you.

He wished it was old times, just you and him.

That’s when he sees you under the bleachers, skipping out Chemistry. You were reading a book as Jughead smirks to see you. You were popular, but no one ever really knew you other than your band members, those you consider as best friends.

“It’s been a while, (Y/n).”

Your attention diverts towards him and give him an easy smile, “Alas, Jughead Jones arrives the scene.”

“You’re dramatic,” Jughead says laughing though, as he sits by you, “Why are you avoiding Chemistry.”

“Could say the same for you,” You replied, shrugging your shoulders, “Chemistry is boring and I had to get away from people, and you?”

“I like skipping class,” Jughead responded., “What are you doing?”

You flip the book to show him the cover, “Just reading, trying to find inspiration for a new song really. Been told we have to make a new single soon, to get the ball rolling for the new album. Nothing significant has happened in my life recently nor the two idiots.”

Jughead nodded, chuckling amusingly at your nicknames for your drummer and bass player. Jughead loves his best friend, but the atmosphere is different with you. You two are chilled that conversation flows smoother than ay interaction Jughead has ever had.

“How’s your dad?” You asked him after an hour into the conversation, a double period almost coming to an end.

Jughead shrugs, “He’s the same... Getting better though.”

“That’s good, heard you join your dad’s gang, but you’re always welcomed in my house whenever.”

Jughead smiles, keeping that thought in his mind. Every now and then, the two of you would meet under the bleachers, Jughead feels at ease and another feeling he couldn’t explain properly, but it was there. There was conversation ranging from his writing to the magnificence of Pop’s diner food. One point you talked about carnivals, and how you would love to go with someone like him.

You two talk about the weird happenings in Riverdale, sometimes his dreams and hopes in the future. He asked you how was songwriting going and you vented how you were stressed to the max that you had to roll a joint to calm yourself.

“Hey, Juggie,” You hummed, smoking the joint before offering him some which he takes - not every day you’re given weed, “Ask me why my heart’s inside my throat?”

“Really?” Jughead giggles, “This is what you’re asking me to do?”

“Aw come on,” You whine, pouting at him, “Ask it!”

“Why is your heart inside your throat?” He asked you, passing the joint back to you.

You take an inhale for a second, letting the smoke exit your mouth, “I’ve never been in love, I’ve been alone. I just feel like I’m living life asleep because I figure love is so strong it would make me feel so weak.”

“Are you lonely?” He asked you, almost in disbelief as you finished the joint, you shrugged your shoulders facing a high Jughead as well as you were.

“Why’s that surprising?”

“You’re always with a crowd, I figured it’s hard to be lonely with so many people surrounding you.”

“I’m alone in a crowded area, Jughead,” You say, “I like being alone, but to be lonely in a crowd, feeling lost? It’s a different vibe, atmosphere. A feeling I hate experiencing.”

“Right, well, I’m lonely most of the time.”

“Oh, I know, Jughead Jones.”

The bell rings signalling class period ended, at least the two of you had lunch next. You stand up, grabbing your bag to your shoulders as you did your old-time handshake with Jughead that you created with him when you were little. Your fingertips gentle caress his fingers, tips barely touching, a slow dance between the ends of the digits.

Jughead started to notice that you were drifting away, the occasional smile across the room would be given. There was a period of time where you hadn’t met him under the bleachers, he felt offended, angered. So, when you accidentally met him under there as you were making a speedy escape he caught you.

“Want to explain why you’ve been so distant?”

“Songwriting, I had a spark of an idea.”

“Right,” Jughead says, though you could tell you weren’t off the hook.

So, you stayed with him as he vented. You listened to him, the occasional encouraging nods and reassuring smiles that you were listening to him. When he got everything off his chest, he smiles at you.

“You’re very passionate,” You concluded as Jughead scoffs.

“Says you, you’ve devoted your life to your band and music.”

You chuckled, nodded that he seems to one-up you, “Alright smart ass,” you rolled your eyes, “Hey, Juggie?”

He looks at you questioningly.

“I’ll be busy in the next few days perfecting the song, but Veronica is holding a gig at her speakeasy were I’ll be performing. You’ll get to hear the new song live.”

“I’ll be there.”

Jughead stands by his dad in the speakeasy, he listens to his dad drone on about how he always thought you and him had something, but he couldn’t place a finger on it. You’re performing in the background, people engaging and some talking in hush tones.

“This is our last song,” You introduced, “This is a new song a wrote, it’s called This Side of Paradise. It’s inspired and dedicated to a special someone in my life.”

Everyone looks at you, fiddle with the mic, you’re hair and the plectrum in your hand as you readjust your guitar strap. Jughead watches you curiously, as your eyes flicker from the strings of your guitar to his eyes. Captivating him in a trance.

“This is for you, Jughead.”

FP pats his son’s shoulder tightly, gripping it hard and shaking him, proud that his son managed to inspire a local band into possible fame. The guitar strings vibrate the melody, Jughead can’t help but look at you as Veronica specially made different colour lights beam around the room but when it hits against you - it just feels different to Jughead.

“Ask me why my heart’s inside my throat,” You sang, Jughead falls a little bit in love as he recalls you asking him to ask that to you, “I’ve never been in love, I’ve been alone.”

Jughead smiles as you catch him smiling, you look down at your chords smiling to yourself.

“Are you lonely?” Your bandmates sing,

“I’ll be the only dream you seek, so if you’re lonely, no need to show me,” You sang, Jughead recalls you telling him that you could tell when he’s lonely, “If you’re lonely come be lonely with me.”

Jughead chuckles to himself, flashbacks of all the antics you and him had during under the bleachers. The conversations that were held there, stupid little enactments of your favourite plays.

“You’re the ground my feet won’t reach, so, if you’re lonely, darling you’re glowing.”

Jughead beams when he sees you brighten you smile as you sing the word darling. He gets a funny feeling when you address him as darling. FP looks at his son, with a knowing smile. His boy is in love, he hadn’t realised it until now. FP’s shoulders relax as he continues to watch the performance happily, throwing side glances at his love-stricken son.

“Underneath the pale moonlight, dreaming of a circus life, carousels and Ferris heights,” You sang so angelic like, “I’ll be yours if you’ll be mine.”

Jughead stops as he noticed that when you sang that line, you stare directly at him. It’s almost like the crowd of people watch you had disappeared and in the room was just you and him. You’re directly serenading him, nothing else could ruin this moment.

You continue to sing as Jughead returns to reality, he watches you lovingly, thinking of ways to accept your love. Because, at the moment, Jughead realise what that feeling was that was brewing in him for days, for weeks.

It was the feeling home.

You’ve opened the door and it feels so safe, Jughead cannot help but melt.

It’s home, right ahead of him, he can’t wait to settle back into warmth and love.
