How To Change Yourself: Key Factors For Personal Growth And Change

We do not understand our problem sometimes, as much as the person understands, who lives with us constantly. Today, I am going to show you the exact process I use to make better decisions which are what you must do if you want to learn how to change yourself. 👇 👇 👇

How JJK men react when they (or you) "accidently" fall on you (or them).

Including: Yuta, Yuji and Megumi

Tw: none unless you don't like falling over.

I KNOW THE TITTLE IS PAINFUL AND THE FIC IS NOT TOTALY EDITED. IM SORRY.

♡Yuta♡

All the second year students were at the traning field when you noticed that you forgot your phone.

Normally that wouldn't bother you, but today Yuta was supposed to come back from his training trip in Africa. There was nothing official with you guys but everyone around you could feel how much you both fell for each other. Just like the day he first arrived, you introduced yourself (probably the only person who did) to him. It was just like two wires fused and after that you guys became close. But it ened when Yuta left and you felt loke it was back to old times again with Maki, Panda and Toge.

"MAKIII" you yelled across the field as Maki was in the middle of her warm up lap.

"I NEED TO GO GET MY PHONE, ILL BE BACK SOON" You yelled getting a thumb up approval from her.

So you ran off the field and onto the path past the shed of cursed tools and straight to the main building in Jujustu high. You swung open the door and sprinted down the hallways.

Yuta was supposed to text you when he got back and nearly at the dormatrys because they changed the locks while he was gone and getting him his own key would take a while with his seemingly 'sudden' return. Luckily you had 2 keys made because you wanted a spare just in case it came handy.

You swung open the classroom door when you realised you forgot where you left your bag, which held your phone and pair of keys. You searched up the whole room panicking but to no avail. You looked at the clock on the wall. 4:00 pm. Yuta was supposed to be back at 4:10 and you figured the only other place your bag would be was on the bench bu the traning field...

Letting out a loud sigh of frustration you didn't want to waste any more time so you took a short cut to the oval. Right through the buildings window. You stood at the edge and pushed off landing harshly on the ground making you stumble a bit before sprinting again.

You made it to the field at 4:03, a new record, but still with your frantic searching you couldn't find your bag.

"I have to be quick before Yuta gets here or he'll be locked out the dorms!" You said franticly knowing your 3 classmates were watching you and wondering what you were doing.

You felt a tap on your sholder

"Tuna mayo Shakke."

(*We moved class rooms today remember?)

Your eyes went white realising you looked in the wrong room.

"I KNEW IT WAS IN OUR CLASS ROOM" You yelled before running again.

This time you went to the right room and saw your bag on your desk. You snatched it and looked at the time on your phone 4:11.

You said you would met Yuta at the schools enterance but there was no way you would make it there in time...unless you ran. Again.

You spun on you heals and with the last and most of your energy you ran head first into some body making them lose thier balance because the last thing they expected was getting rammed head first in a deserted hallway.

THUD

You fell onto your back in shock not realising the person hand was holding the back of your head making sure it never hit the ground.

"Are you alright!?" He asked looking down at you

It was Yuta.

"Yeah sorry about-YUTA?!" Your face flushed as his body caged your on the floor

"Sorry I didn't see you running then and just got in your way."

"NO, NO IT WAS MY FAULT" you were losing your sanity, he was so close and so...diffrent. His hair hung over his eyes and his body frame was way bigger from the last time you saw him.

He suddenly turned his head away from your gaze but you could see the red tint in his ears.

"Nice catch" you heard some one say

Both you and yuta looked down the hallway to see Maki standing there with a cursed weapon.

Immediately Yuta got up embarassed and offered you a hand up.

"Uh welcome back." You tried to act normally but that moment would live in your mind forever.

☆Yuji☆

You were in the library studying for Gojos "surprise quiz" that was taking place tomorrow. How were you going to get through all the subject set in the quiz with only one day's notice? Well you concluded that Gojo was not a very qualified teacher.

On the list of study books you'd need to read to take notes from there was one that was up impossibly high up on a shelf. But it was okay because there was a ladder at the end of the shelf you would just have to bring over.

You pulled the ladder over and made sure it was stable by shaking it a few times slightly, knowing there wouldn't be anyone to hold the ladder for you because Megumi, Nobora and Yuji were all currently out on a mission that you were no put on. It was a but disappointing but it was the perfect opportunity to study.

You got up on the ladder, when it came to the last step you got a bit nervous because the ladder began to shake a bit. But you took a deep breath and managed to make it up there without falling. You grabbed the book quickly got down the ladder. You put it on top of the other books you were using. You walked back to your table with all your study notes and materials.

It was a successful hour because you felt like you were finally ready. So you packed up your things and began to put the books back. Until it came to the high shelf. You tested the ladders durability again and finally took the first step. When tou were half way up, book tucked beneath your arm, you heard the library doors open and two people arguing. You already knew it was Nobora and Yuji. And if Nobora and Yuji were there then Megumi must be tagging along to. You kept climbing but a little faster so you could greet your friends back from their mission, however when you got to the top step you heard Nobora.

"JUST TELL HER YOU DAMNED IDIOT OR YOU'LL LOSE YOUR CHANCE!"

You looked down the ladder and saw the three (as predicted) walking toward the ladder when Nobora kicked Yujis back sending him forward right into the ladder you were on. With his instincts he grabbed a side of the ladder which only made him land on his back.

You let out a panicked gasp as you felt yourself lose your footing and fall off the ladder.

Nobora and Megumi watched in shock as the suddenly saw you fall off the ladder and crash...right into Yuji. Thank goodness for Yujis reflex skills because he managed to catch you. Catch being you landing the back of your head into his chest.

"YOU IDIOT" Nobora yelled

"YOU COULD HAVE KILLED MY PRECIOUS Y/N"

"ME KILL HER? YOUR THE WITCH THAT PUSHED ME!" He yelled in retaliation you slowly sat up in-between his legs.

"Are you okay?" Yuji sat up to crossing his legs almost trapping you between him.

"Yeah I'll be alright" you mumbled but before you could rub the back of your pounding head you felt yujis hand on it.

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time, really I didn't mean to hurt you"

"I know, it's okay Yuji I know you wouldn't purposely hurt me."

A blush spreads across his face and your body warms against his.

You look around trying to avert his gaze before realising that you didn't have the book any more.

"Huh? where did my book go..." your eyes wander to Megumi who's rubbing the top of his head with one hand and holding your book with the other.

"Here" He mumbled in pain.

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS ♡♡

AUTHOURS NOTE: yeah I'm not entirely happy with the Yuta part but maybe I'll re write it if you guys want. Also if you want a part 2 with other characters let me know because I was going to add Megumi but didn't.

In Honor of Valentine's Day, Here's what your KNY ship says about you!

Canon

You are the Democratic-Republicans of the fandom. Hehe APUSH people get that comparison. Basically you believe in strict adherence to canon ships, and anything else is sacrilege or nonsensical. While most of your ships are popular anyway, a common stereotype is that if you only ship canon ships, you are either boring and uncreative at best, or homophobic at worst, a stigma definitely perpetuated by a vocal minority. 

TanKana: You guys like fluff and vanilla ships, and choose to believe Tanjiro lived a long healthy life. 

ZennNezu: You are a profound Zenitsu apologist and wished you saw more of their dynamic post-Nezuko cure. 

InoAoi: You guys are just vibing.

ObaMitsu: You are the majority of the fandom. You constantly praise the ship and its writing, fanart, and headcanons, sometimes spreading the hugging myth. You might also reply to any contradicting ships who are jealous Obanai memes or ask “what about Mitsuri/Obanai”, making a lot of enemies. 

Uzuis: There’s a chance that you really like their loving relationship and polyamory representation, but most of the time you’re a gooner or a Tengen glazer.

Kagaya x Amane: You like domestic ships

HakujixKoyuki: You crave this backstory to be adapted and love the cotton candy colors. Might spoil Akaza hating anime-onlies and are probably an Akaza apologist. Any other Akaza ship is sacrilege unless Akaza and Hakuji are separate characters.

TamaYush: You like doomed romances. And will probably be a Yushiro apologist. You are one of the most obscure and least popular of the canon ships

YoriiUta: A combination of TamayYush and TanKana. You both like fluffy romance with a husband that LOVES HIS WIFE and doomed romances. 

ShinRuka: You are probably a Shinjuro apologist and love husbands who are head over heels for their wives. Also a fan of doomed romance.

Humans

SaneKana: You’re in a weird limbo where you have basis and teasing, but too little actual interaction to be considered “canon”. Also Kanae’s dead. You also probably love doomed romances and opposites attract dynamics. You might act like SaneKane is indeed canon but quickly be shut down by others. 

SaneGiyu: You love yaoi and especially love the enemies-to-lovers trope. You’re probably at war with the Kocho sibling shippers and face a lot of “but they hate each other” backlash. Green and blue are your favorite colors. However, there’s a decent chance you make the ship heteronormative by feminizing Giyu and making Sanemi more masculine.

GiyuShino: 2019-2020 was the best period of the fandom for you. You hate Doma. You also probably annoyed conflicting shippers in the past and spread the “Shinobu told everyone about her plan except Giyu” myth but are now the underdog because of the ship’s waning popularity. 

Platonic GiyuShino: You're definitely in the minority and probably resent being overshadowed by the romantic shippers, especially the normies who assume they are a couple because of all the fanart.  

SenjuroxNezuko, KanaoxNezuko, MuichiroxNezuko: You think Zenitsu is way too annoying and possessive for Nezuko and she deserves someone with less personal flaws, even if they barely or never interact. You might sometimes exaggerate Zenitsu’s negative traits in fanworks.

ShinoMitsu: You are a lesbian or a wlw lover, and obsessed with the minor but close relationship. Edits and fanart galore. At war with ObaMitsu and ShinoGiyu fans.

GenMui: You like the Swordsmith Village arc and the Kokushibo fight. Screaming shaking crying at Chapter 179. 

GenTan: SaneGiyu Jr but with less intensity and vitriol on the Shinazugawa’s part. Screaming shaking crying at Chapter 180. 

MuiTan: You REALLY like the SSV arc and now like the Hashira Traning arc’s anime adaption. You squee anything Muichiro does a 180 and smiles at Tanjiro. Screaming shaking crying at Chapter 180.  

TanZen: You think Zenitsu has more chemistry with the other Kamado and will latch on to him being all bashful towards Tanjiro.

InoTan: You probably like the Tarzan x Jane dynamic but gay, and latch on to Tanjiro calling Inosuke attractive.

KyoTen: You are a believer of the manliest of gay ships, and you also appreciate Tengen being explicitly inspired by Kyojuro.

SaneOba: Is it gay to kiss the fellas goodnight?

Uzuis x Giyu: You latch on to that one panel where Giyu is at a hot spring with Tengen and his wives and want Giyu to be sandwiched between three sexy women and one sexy man.

GenKanao: SaneKana Jr. You like opposite-attracting pairs and probably ship Tanjiro with one of the other main 3 boys. No hard feelings. 

SabiGiyu: Again, doomed romance and cry at Giyu’s backstory every time. You hate the age gap in Kimetsu Gakuen! though.

YoriiTama: You are fascinated by their first and only interaction and believe they both deserve a second chance at love.

Sabito x Makomo: You are the stereotypical shipper with low standards so two characters friendly towards each other count as a ship, but hetero this time.

MuraGoto: You love irrelevant bitches that no one seriously cares about.

Human x Demon

ShinobuXTamayo: Also a lesbian or a wlw lover, and love the color purple. You’d think you’d be at war with Yushiro shippers but you’re so obscure you barely interact. 

RenKaza: You crave messy, toxic, one-sided hatred one-sided crush, killerxvictim, villainxhero dynamics and latch onto Akaza’s borderline homoerotic reactions to Kyojuro’s strength. Will definitely mischaracterize one of them, probably Kyojuro.

DouShino: Ditto but emphasis on all the adjectives. You are greater in number because of there actually being a canon basis. You get a bum rap, likely because the victim in the killerxvictim dynamic is a woman, but continue making fan art of them. You keep Shinobu’s hatred because that’s endearing to you.

DoTaha: You fully believe Doma loved Kotoha and that he’s Inosuke’s stepdad, and that all would’ve been great if Doma wasn’t a demon. Also get a bum rap because of the killerxvictim dynamic with the victim being a woman. 

KibuRei: You are a believer in what TV Tropes calls Draco In Leather Pants. In your books, Muzan is loving his role as the family man and he and Rei actually have a thing. As for the daughter, it’s split on whether or not you think she’s Muzan’s or Rei’s ex-husband that Muzan killed, but either way, he cares about her as much as he does Rui. You choose to ignore Muzan abandoning them for his life as Toshikuni, but if you have to acknowledge it, he’s either living a TRIPLE life or he simply left without killing either of them.

MichikatsuxHis Wife: You probably romanticize Michikatsu as a family man a little too much, but unlike Kibureis, you get a worse rap because Michi explicitly abandoned her.

KanUme: You read the Gakuen! Chapter where they become coworkers and friends.

Demons

DouKaza: You want RenKaza but without the questionable killerxvictim stuff and with Akaza as the hater instead of the lover. Also probably like enemies to lovers or more specifically the FoeYay dynamic

KokuDoma: Ditto but with less animosity on Kokushibo’s side. They are the Odd Couple but demons.

KokuNaki: You probably like couples who match each other’s personalities, in their case: stone-cold bitches.

EnmuxMuzan, EnmuxDoma, EnmuxGyokko: You think Enmu is gay and either want to ship him with the person he’s gayest towards, or demons who match his freak.

KokuMuzan: Idk, you’re the type to ship the big bad with their second-in-command, because they’re one of the few people they actually hold with respect.

GyoHan: You’re either shipping the ugly demons as a haha gag, or you are an unashamed freak.

ZohaUme: You are @riri_zui or follow them on Twit-X.

Every other Crack Ships and Rare Pairs

You are an enigma and your ship is either so obscure and nonsensical that it simply chases an empty appeal (like being tangentially related or a theming), or has no pattern to exploit and is just random af. Bonus points if they actually consider the characters, but they probably won’t.

Star-Like Encounters (Hugh Jackman x Fem!Reader) Chapter 3

Previous Chapter: https://www.tumblr.com/imagineinside/760895461984976896/star-like-encounters-hugh-jackman-x-femreader?source=share

A/N: Heheheh I had so much fun writing this little Cinderella-esque chapter. I hope you guys have equal amount of fun reading it! :) (Also, as always, I do not know these people nor is this meant to be an accurate representation of them.)

Description: You begin your first semester at a prestigious university with a mix of excitement and chaos. After a frantic start involving a late arrival due to your roommate’s Hollywood-related detour, your day takes an unexpected turn when you meet Hugh Jackman, your roommate’s boss, at a movie studio.

Hugh, intrigued by your expertise in physics, invites you to consult on a film project aiming for scientific accuracy. Balancing your new academic responsibilities with a potential Hollywood cameo, you must navigate your dual interests. As you face your own feelings, you discover that the lines between your professional and personal worlds are more intertwined than you imagined.

Currently Applicable Tags: Sexual themes 18+, Fluff, cocky Hugh Jackman, flirty Hugh Jackman, age gap (55 and late 20s), so much pining, mutual pining, reader under alcoholic influence, grammatical errors, more to come.

The day of the debut event arrived faster than you had anticipated. Hugh had arranged for you to meet with him and his stylists six hours before the event officially began, which you thought was quite an extensive length of time. But then again, you had never gotten ready for an event like this before. 

Hugh had been texting you pictures of various different red and yellow dresses, sent to him originally from his stylist. You think the last time you had worn an evening gown like that was to your high school prom. It had taken a while, but you had all settled on a strapless red gown that would be tailored to your form. What had really caught your attention about the gown was the small trane in the back and the slit up the front left leg. It was simple enough that you wouldn’t draw enough attention but still beautiful enough to match the rest of the attendees.

Hugh had promised to pick you up from your apartment, and as you sat on your couch waiting for the text saying he had arrived butterflies of anxiety flew around your stomach.

“You look like you’re going to throw up,” Ashley said as she walked into the common room with her lunch in her hand.

“Jee, thanks, Ash,” you snapped back.

Your friend raised her hands in self defense, “I didn’t mean bad by it. You’ll be fine tonight, you don’t need to worry. Hugh’s a good guy.”

“I know that. Just how would you feel if your celebrity crush asked you out to attend the debut of a movie you’ve been eagerly awaiting to arrive in theaters?” Your knees started to nervously bounce now.

“If Jennifer Lawrence asked me out I would make it a night she never forgot. So good that we would run off into the sunset together to live the rest of our lives together,” your friend said dramatically as she scanned the horizon with her hand.

You rolled your eyes, “Sure you would.” Just then your phone vibrated in your hand and a text from Hugh illuminated the screen.

Yup, that was the text saying he was here. You stood from your seat just as a second text came through.

You smiled to yourself at that, at least you weren’t the only person who was nervous about tonight. You thought that he would be accustomed to events like this after so many years in the entertainment business.

Going out to the car, you waved once you spotted Hugh parked on the side of the street. He was waiting outside the front of his car, leaning against the hood with his arms crossed over his massive chest. Something about seeing him waiting for you like that made your heart soar.

His eyes lit up once he saw you, a crooked smile forming on his face, “Y/N, it’s great to see you.” If he was truly nervous, he didn’t seem to show it.

You gave him a polite smile, “Thank you for coming to pick me up.”

“It was my pleasure,” He said and opened the door for you to slide into the passenger seat. His raw manliness is even more attractive paired with his manners and the way he seems to prioritize your comfort and presence.

The car was merging onto the road when he asked you next, “So, are you nervous?”

You let out a small laugh, “Me? Nervous about being photographed by hundreds of people? With you? And possibly also meeting some of your castmates? And seeing my photos go up online?” You swallowed and squeaked out a quiet, “Yes.”

Hugh laughed and something about the soft baritone made you feel a little better, “You’ll do great. You get to play the part of my sexy arm candy for the night… help to distract them from this old mug.”

You know he mainly meant it as a joke, but you were reeling with which to respond to first: his compliment (which like oh my god, did he just call you sexy?) or the fact that he views himself as anything short of the hottest man on Earth. “I don’t think anyone will pay me any mind, Hugh,” you said with a raised brow and a teasing smile thrown his way. “A fifty-five year old Wolverine never looked so good.” Were you flirting? Maybe just a little…

You weren’t sure if it was the change of lighting as you drove under a tunnel, but you thought you saw a slight blush creep up to his cheeks. “I’m glad you think so. I was slightly nervous at the start of the movie production being able to pay tribute to my old character.”

“Hugh, even if you weren’t still super hot and muscular, I don’t think there could be anyone else to play Wolverine.”

“You think I’m hot, huh?” He asked with a playful smile as he turned down an alleyway to the venue parking lot.

Despite feeling your own blush creep up on you, you decided to try to play it off, “I’m pretty sure every girl in the whole of the world finds you hot. I am far from the only one.”

You let him breathe a moment as he reversed the car into the parking spot, his hand coming up to the back of your headrest–and holy crap his bicep was right there. You barely resisted the urge to bite it.

“Maybe so,” Hugh finally replied as he gathered his belongings and paused for a moment to look you in the eye, “But right now you’re the only one that matters.”

* * *

The two of you were separated into different rooms when you arrived. Apparently it wasn’t going to take as long to get Hugh ready as you, so he was going to be working on other things. His stylist was a sweet, older woman who had years in this field. You gave her full liberty on your hair and makeup, she knew much better than you what would be appropriate.

“My daughter looks so much like you,” she had said sweetly while working on your makeup. “Of course, she never lets me do her makeup like this.”

Brenda, you found her name was, had given you a more subtle look. Nothing too flashy. More a sultry, smokey eye look with a matte red lipstick to match your dress.

“I do prefer to keep my hair up,” you had told her. You found it just bothered you if it hung in front of your face.

“We can work with that,” she said with a small giggle.

She ended up deciding on the very ageless french twist hairstyle, but without the necessary claw clip in the back. About midway through you had lost count of the amount of bobby pins she was hiding in your hair. Finally you were able to change into your dress, and with a couple finishing touches, such as earrings, a necklace and a bracelet, Brenda said you were “red carpet ready!”

It felt like you were living a real-life Cinderella fairytale. 

For one night only.

“Hugh is just through that door,” Brenda said with a knowing smile and a wink.

“Oh, Brenda, there’s nothing going on–”

She cut you off, “I’ve lived enough years on this Earth to know when there is a deeper connection, even if the other people try to deny it.”

Clutching the black handbag she had given you, you turned away from her and opened the door.

You didn’t look up right away, not sure what to do with yourself. You had never gotten this dressed up in your life. Pantsuits were more your style for work, not… this. Not that you didn’t completely enjoy it, though.

A breathless “wow” caught your attention and your eyes snapped up.

Hugh was standing across the room, seemingly in the process of applying his cufflinks. Though something had frozen him in place. 

No, not something… someone. You. 

His chest was moving quickly with his breaths, as if the wind had gotten knocked out of him. You felt every movement of his eyes on you as he took you in, as if his hands were there instead, trailing every curve and flowing line.

Not knowing what else to do with yourself, you gave him a quick spin, “What do you think?”

The next thing you knew, he was moving to you from across the room, cufflinks disregarded on a nearby table. Every step he took echoed through you until he came to rest before you. His hands hovered midair between the two of you, as if he wanted to reach out to you but came to his senses. 

You wanted to tell him to “Do it.” The words fell from your mouth before you could stop them.

Then his hands were on your waist and tugging you closer. You didn’t even realize you had begun to shake until you raised your hand to rest on his chest.

“You look absolutely stunning, Y/N,” the words left his mouth like a whispered prayer.

His hands seemed to move on their own as one trailed further south over the curve of your ass, and the other came up to your chin and tilted your face to meet his. You didn’t tell him to stop.

“You don’t look so bad yourself,” you whispered to him as you shared the same air. You could feel the puff of his breath across your lips–

A knock at the door had the both of you jumping away. It was like you had just been caught making out at your parents house for the first time.

“Oh, Huuuugh,” a sing-songy voice called from the other side of the door. You could recognize it anywhere, you had seen the Deadpool movies. “I’m comin’ in so you better not be naked.” And just like that the door swung open for Ryan Reynolds to enter the room. 

His eyes did one quick scan before stopping on you, and you weren’t sure why, but you held your breath. “And who is this lovely woman?” He said with a grin and began to approach you, “I’m Ryan, and who might you be?”

“I’m Y/N, the astrophysics Professor helping Hugh with his next film.” You said and shook Ryan’s hand.

“Well he did not say you were such a smokeshow, dear goodness. Don’t tell Blake I said that, she’d kill me,” you couldn’t help but laugh at that, knowing it was all just a joke. “Listen, they need us out there in like 20 minutos, can ya do that?”

20 minutes… your heart felt like it was in your throat. That little episode with Hugh had really distracted you from your nerves, but not anymore.

“Yeah, we’ll be right behind you, just give us a minute?” Hugh asked and gestured for him to leave the room.

“Ah ah ah, no not before a picture of you two, c’mon now,” Ryan said and practically shoved Hugh back towards you.

Something told you that Ryan wouldn’t give up quietly and Hugh gave you an apathetic look. You gave him a small smile and mouthed “it’s okay.” The next thing you knew, Hugh’s giant hand was back around your waist and you were posing for a picture. Once Ryan was apparently satisfied he put his phone down and began walking out of the room.

“You two look great! Trust me, you’ll thank me for the picture later.” With a click of the door, he was gone as fast as he had arrived.

A heavy silence fell over the small dressing room once Ryan had made his exit. You weren’t entirely sure where to pick up after what you had gotten interrupted from. Were you guys seriously about to kiss? For some reason you have a hard time believing Hugh would want to kiss you of all people. He could have literally anyone he wanted.

Distantly, you heard Hugh ask you a question. Something about a photo, maybe? You were so in your own thoughts that you just mumbled a “yeah” and didn’t give it much thought.

“Hey, Y/N, you alright?” Hugh asked, his hand appearing on your shoulder.

You blinked yourself out of whatever trance you had put yourself in, “Uh, yeah, sorry.” You paused for a moment, perhaps this would be the best time to be honest with Hugh. “Listen, I don’t know if I can do this…”

“What do you mean?” concern etched itself between Hugh’s eyebrows.

“I’m going to probably be asked questions I don’t know the answer to out there. I don’t know the first thing about posing in front of a camera. I am not star material, I spent nearly my entire graduate years inside my dorm room. I kid you not, I was so pale I scared my roommate ‘cause she thought I was a ghost one night.”

Your last comment made Hugh burst out laughing, the worry on his face disappearing almost immediately. You smacked him, not hard, with your black clutch purse. “Stop it!” You exclaimed, now beginning to fight your own laughter, “I’m actually nervous here!”

“Sorry,” he giggled, hand coming up to block his mouth as if that would stop his laughter, “I can just picture it so well–”

“Ah, jee, thanks. That makes me feel wonderful.”

Hugh wiped tears from his eyes and turned to look at you sincerely, “You are wonderful. But if you don’t want to go out there, then you can just skip the red carpet and go straight to the theater.”

You blinked up at him, “You promise?”

“I will pinky promise if you would like.”

You thought for a moment, “Yes, that would make me feel better.”

Hugh let out another laugh, “You don’t stop surprising me.” He linked your pinkies together and squeezed tightly, “I pinky promise you.”

Then, with a tenacity that surprised you after his hesitation earlier, he wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you towards him until your chests were flush together. “Though it would be their loss not getting to see how absolutely amazing you look tonight.”

The air was beginning to feel heavy again as tension crackled between the two of you. You weren’t sure you would stop yourself if it came to another moment like before, and it didn’t seem that Ryan was going to come swooping back in. So, to save yourself from any future embarrassment, you playfully shoved Hugh away, his grip on your waist releasing, and you said, “You better get finished up there. Don’t want to be the one to make us late now would you?”

Hugh then finished putting together his suit, which was an all black ensemble but with a red handkerchief to presumably match your dress.

“How do I look?” he asked and gave a quick spin, mocking what you had done earlier.

“Very dashing,” you said and threw the magazine you had been flipping through to the side.

Before you could push yourself to a stand, Hugh was there with his hand outstretched in front of you. You smiled shyly at him before placing your hand in his and allowing him to pull you up next to him. “As I said, you can still leave the carpet if it gets overwhelming for you.”

As the two of you approached the door, your left hand rested on his bicep as he held you close up next to him. It was definitely worth standing so close, his bicep felt like a rock beneath your hand. “Thank you, Hugh.”

He gave you the most genuine smile you think you have ever seen before he leaned down and placed a quick kiss to the top of your head. And just like that, you were walking out for your very first red carpet event.

* * *

Walking out onto the carpet for the first time was even more overwhelming than you thought it would be. The immediate flashing of cameras had you recoiling and gripping onto Hugh’s arm even tighter. His other hand came up to rest on yours as another form of reassurance. Then he leaned down until his lips brushed on the crest of your ear to whisper, “Show them how beautiful you are.”

Lifting your head back up you squinted your eyes into the flashing of the cameras and gave Hugh’s arm a thankful squeeze. There was so much talking and photographers yelling around you that you weren’t entirely sure where to go or what to do, so you followed Hugh’s lead.

It was slightly mesmerizing to watch Hugh be in his element on the carpet. The way he moved into poses with you almost automatically helped you feel more confident, and you would pause every few paces to let photographers get their desired pictures. Later down the carpet, Hugh got pulled into a few interviews with Ryan, but that gave you a chance to talk to Blake Lively for the first time. You had absolutely loved her “Lady Liberty” look a couple years ago at the Met Gala. The two of you had actually exchanged phone numbers in the hopes of staying in contact.

“You doing alright?” Hugh asked when he and Ryan walked back over to you and Blake. His hand slid across your waist and stayed there, notched around your back, as if it was his favorite place to be.

You smiled up at him, “Yeah, I’m actually really enjoying this.” You settled a hand on his chest and looked at him in his soft, brown eyes. “Hugh, thank you for this experience.”

He smiled back at you, the crows feet forming in the corner of his eyes, “I’m not sure if this night was more for you or for me.”

You were about to ask him what he meant when Ryan exclaimed you guys should go get your seats in the showroom before everyone else got there first. You had agreed it was a good idea, and the two of you followed after Hugh’s costar.

The four of you got seats all in a row, with–of course–Ryan and Hugh sitting next to each other. You couldn’t believe that you were really going to get to see the movie with the two starring actors sitting right beside you. You would have to be careful to keep your fangirling to a minimum.

Watching the movie felt like a spiritual experience, or maybe that was just because the waiters kept coming by and handing you more champagne which you were definitely getting tipsy off of. Either way, it was amazing. It was everything you had ever wanted all wrapped up into one two hour length film. The comic accurate Wolverine had you bursting out laughing and asking Hugh how they had made him so tiny. Getting to see all the old mutants from the X-Men was also such a great experience. The Honda Odyssey fight scene would go down in your mind as one of the best choreographed fight scenes of all time. And don’t even get you started on comic-accurate Blade, Elektra, and Gambit. Plus X-23 coming back had you crying tears of joy on the inside.

Now you were watching the final scenes of the movie when Deadpool goes down to stop the machine from destroying his world. You didn’t even try to stop the tears from falling down your face at the noble sacrifice.

Hugh must have heard your quiet sniffles as you tried to hide your embarrassing emotions over fictional characters you had grown so attached to. “Hey,” he whispered, “it’s gonna be alright.” His hand fell to your thigh and his thumb began rubbing soothing patterns against your skin.

“I know,” you whispered back, your voice watery from crying, “It’s just so beautiful. I wish I wasn’t ruining my makeup right now though.”

Hugh let out a low chuckle, “You still look beautiful to me.”

When you looked back up to the screen, it felt like your world was coming to a standstill. Right there, with Like a Prayer by Madonna playing in the background, was a very ripped, glazed Hawaiian roll looking Hugh Jackman all over the big screen. You didn’t even realize your jaw had dropped open until you heard laughter from beside you as Hugh took in your reaction. Deadpool’s reaction in the movie was also totally warranted.

“I don’t know if I’m turned on or still sad that now Wolverine and Deadpool are both going to die,” you whispered to Hugh beside you who gave your thigh a playful squeeze.

You watched the remaining moments of the movie at the edge of your seat, wishing that it would never end.

“Wow,” you said as the lights turned back on and people began filing out of the showroom. “That was…That was better than sex.”

“Amen,” Ryan replied as he helped Blake put her jacket back on. “Catch you later, Hugh.” You waved Ryan and Blake goodbye as they left the theater.

“I think that was the most jacked Wolverine has ever been in any movie.”

Hugh laughed and flashed his bright smile at you, “I definitely didn’t get that fit without a whole team to help me do it.”

You gave him a soft smile in return, “You did great in the movie, Hugh. I think that will go down as one of the best MCU movies, like, ever. I don’t think that was the worst Wolverine, I think he was the best one.”

Hugh tilted his head at you, “What makes you say that?”

“Because he had so many demons following him. He lost everyone. Yet he still found a new purpose to do better. You can’t be the worst version of yourself if you do that.”

“You look for the good in everyone don’t you?” He said with a smile as he stood from his chair and extended a hand to help you up. Ever the gentleman.

When you went to stand, your feet wobbled beneath you and fell forward like a damsel in distress. Strong arms held you upwards and you heard a laugh rumble up from Hugh’s chest. “Sorry,” you mumbled and righted yourself, “I think I had one-too-many glasses of champagne. Just hopefully I don’t throw up,” as soon as the words left your mouth you cringed at yourself outwardly. 

“Sorry, that was gross. Very not ladylike. And you are always such a gentleman. It’s like you were born to open doors for me and help me up from a chair. Sorry, I’m drunk. Don’t hold anything I’m saying against me tomorrow.” You mumbled into your hand as you realized you were rambling on. Jeez, that must have been some strong champagne.

“Maybe I should take you home?” Hugh offered as he held one arm around you and the other in your left hand, helping to steady you down the steps towards the exit.

“No, God, I’m sorry. I’m really making a fool of myself–”

“That’s not it.” Hugh cut you off, “I just want to make sure you get comfortable tonight and do whatever you need.”

“You’re so nice,” You said and looked up to his heartbreakingly handsome face, tears forming at the edges of your eyes, “I’m an emotional drunk, you can’t be that nice or I’m gonna cry.” Hugh laughed at that, at least he was able to find you humorous in this state. “Ashley also texted me and told me she was having a girl over tonight… I don’t want to walk in on her again.” You shivered, “We barely got past it the last time.”

Hugh seemed to cringe at whatever mental image he had pictured as well, “Alright, then where were you planning on going tonight?”

“I asked our friend Janet but she didn’t respond. Oh no!” You exclaimed, “I’m going to be homeless!”

Hugh laughed and guided you outside towards the back parking lot where his car was surely still waiting for the both of you. “You’re not going to be homeless. If you need to, you can spend the night at my apartment.”

“Nonononono,” you hurried to say, the words slurring together, “I can’t stay at your apartment. I cannot see where the magic happens.”

“Where the mag–What are you saying, goofball?” Hugh laughed again as he opened the door for you and you did not slide into the seat gracefully, as much as you tried.

“You’re so hot. There’s no way I can spend the night at your place. I want to too much.”

Hugh began driving out of the parking lot and the motion of the vehicle made your head spin even more. “Why not just try to get a little shut eye, it’s a thirty minute drive to get there from here.”

* * *

You didn’t even realize you had passed out in Hugh Jackman’s car until you heard the hum of the engine come to a stop and the lights flick out. You had drool sliding down the side of your mouth which you tried to slyly wipe away.

“Morning, sleepyhead,” Hugh greeted and reached over to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear. You reveled in the light graze of his fingers as they floated against your skin. “Let’s get you inside, shall we?”

The nap had actually helped to sober you up a lot, though you would never admit that he was right, of course. You were able to walk up to his apartment without any assistance in not falling over, though Hugh still stayed behind you in case you lost your balance. Once you got inside, your jaw felt like it fell to the floor. This one apartment was probably four times the size of the one you shared with Ashley, and it even had a staircase up to a second floor. So there wasn’t just one floor for one apartment? This was an entirely new concept to you.

And there was an entire wall of windows. You basically dashed over to them as you looked out to the sea just West of you and the city lights scattering the Southern coastline.

“Wow,” you breathed, your breath fogging up the glass.

“I know,” Hugh said from behind you, “once I saw the view I knew I had to have this place.” He reached forward and placed a gentle hand on your lower back. “Why don’t you go wash up in the master bath, I’ll get some clothes laid out for you.”

You blushed and mumbled a thank you before following Hugh up the stairs. The master bedroom alone was the size of your apartment, though you didn’t want to say anything. You’re sure Hugh isn’t the type to rub his financial status in other people’s faces, and therefore he probably doesn’t like people making comments on it either.

“Use whatever you need,” Hugh said with a smile as you worked on taking your heels off on the edge of the bed.

“Thank you,” you blushed, embarrassment flooding over you. “I’m really sorry about getting so drunk, Hugh. I don’t want you to think that’s normal for me.”

Hugh waved you away and came to sit next to you, the bed dipping from his weight as he sat down, “Tonight was about you enjoying the experience and the movie, which you did. I’m glad that you were there with me.”

“Did I say anything too unhinged? My memory is a bit fuzzy right before I passed out.”

Hugh appeared to give it some thought, “No, just that you think I’m hot.” He said with a mischievous smile.

You rolled your eyes as a smile grew on your own face, “Well I thought that was already obvious.”

“Oh really?”

“Well, duh, I’ve only had a massive crush on you since The Greatest Showman,” the second the words left your mouth you realized what you had said. 

The smile dropped from your face almost immediately as you grabbed a nearby blanket and threw it over your head to pretend you could simply disappear. You guessed that while you didn’t feel drunk anymore, your filter was still working on coming back. 

“Y/N,” Hugh called and tugged at the blanket but you fought to keep it in place.

“No, I’m never coming out of here.”

“Sweetheart, let me see your face,” something about the way he said it made you allow him to peel the blanket off of you. You weren’t ready to look at him again, though it felt like his eyes were looking straight through you.

“I’m sorry,” you whispered.

“For what, sweetheart?” Hugh asked as his hand lifted your chin until you had no choice but to look him in the eye.

“For ruining whatever friendship we had the possibility of creating.”

“Baby,” he purred, his voice like silk, “this was never going to be only a friendship.” Then his lips were on yours.

The kiss wasn’t frantic or steamy like you thought it would be. It was soft, and gentle, like he was just testing the water to see if either of you would get burned. You opened up to him, becoming pliant under his strong hand that was still on your cheek. A deep moan echoed up from his throat to urge you on, the sound making you squeeze your thighs together as you gripped around nothing.

“You’re so beautiful,” Hugh whispered, sounding absolutely breathless as he broke the kiss, only to come back for more.

You opened up for him when his tongue requested entrance and it was like neither of you could get enough. Sharing the same breath wasn’t enough anymore, you needed to be closer. You pushed against his chest, to which you received very little resistance before he laid back on the bed, all spread out for you. Something about seeing him flushed and breathing heavily because of you really messed with your head.

Before you had a chance to overthink it, you swung your leg over him and settled over his abdomen. Your hips grinded down on their own accord, though it rewarded you with a satisfying groan from the man at your mercy beneath you. You would do that all night if it meant you got to hear him make those noises.

“You have no idea what you do to me,” Hugh gasped and his hands shot out to your hips with a grip you were sure would leave bruises in the morning.

“I think I do,” you whispered, “because you do it to me, too.”

Both of you moved at the same time, lips crashing together. You didn’t even mind that your teeth knocked together as he ravaged you. His left hand came up to grip at the back of your head, holding you right where he wanted you. You felt him rut up against you in search of friction, and God you wanted it so badly too, but–

“Hugh,” you pulled away, breathless and lips red from kissing, “I think we’re getting carried away.” He stayed beneath you, chest heaving, as if he was still trying to process your words. “I don’t… I think we should talk once I don’t have any alcohol left in me.”

Hugh nodded, his mouth parted as if he was still contemplating whether to kiss you again or not. “Alright, sweetheart, I’ll let you get washed up. I’ll get you some water and a Liquid IV as well.”

“Thank you,” you said and placed a small kiss on his lips before sliding off of him as a reminder it wasn’t over.

You hadn’t realized the extent to which you had affected him until you looked back to see a tent in his dress slacks as he sat up. You quickly averted your gaze and strutted into the washroom.

Once you were done, just as promised, Hugh had left (what you would assume) was one of his shirts laid out on the bed, as well as water and a Liquid IV on the nightstand. Alongside it was a folded note that read: I’m sleeping in the guest bed, I don’t think I would be able to control myself with you tonight. Sleep as long as you need, I’ll have breakfast ready in the morning. ♥️

You went to bed that night with a surge of hope in your chest.

(10/10) HE★VENS Special Training! - LE Event Story Translation (UR Eiji, SR Shion)

Sypnosis: For their upcoming live concert, the members of HE★VENS have decided to go to a training camp to strengthen their performance and to film behind-the-scenes footage. Eiji is busy preparing for the camp with his friends in mind, while Shion is excited to be able to stay overnight with the members even though it's for work. Whether it be lessons or free time, a fulfilling time is about to begin for all of them…!

Ch 1:

-HE★VENS Dorm Living Room- Eiji: ーA traning camp? For all of us? Eiichi: Yeah, that's right. The objective is to strengthen our performance for the upcoming live concert. Eiichi: We're also thinking of filming the situation of the training camp as required and showing it during the live concert in a form of behind the scenes footage. Eiichi: And here's a pamphlet about the facility. What do you guys think? Nagi: Oh, it sounds interesting☆ We had a training camp before, but we didn't have a close-up camera following us around. Nagi: I'll have to get them to take all sorts of shot of how cute I am♪ Shion: Filming our usual activities… I'm a bit nervous, but this is also for Angel's sake. Shion: As long as I'm there with everyone, I'm sure that I will be able to smile naturally. Amakusa will also do his best. Kira: …It's a nice facility. It's also…well-equipped. The dance lessons…will be going well. Van: Oh, there's also a river nearby. It has lots of greenery too, and taking a walk around sounds refreshing! Kira: We need to make…a lesson plan first. The walk is…after that. Van: What's with you Kira-chan, you seem to be so enthusiastic~! Do you really like this place that much? Yamato: I understand how he feels. I've seen a machine that I've been wanting to try it out, it would make for a great workout. Yamato: Also, food. If there are any delicious local specialties, I want to buy it and take it home with me. Eiji: I think it's great! To be able to go out with everyone and get lots of training there sounds amazing. Eiji: I'll also work hard for Angel's sake. Eiichi: That's the spirit! Well then, now that we've come to an agreement, the location will be on that place, okay. Eiichi: And while we're at it, let's discuss about the footage as well. Where and how it will be used in the live concert. Eiichi: We could keep some of the behind-the-scenes to a few minutes and play it straight through the interlude. Or maybe, we can cut a lot of it… Eiichi: And use it as an opening attack video. These are the two ideas I'm thinking of right now, but do let me know if you have any other ideasー

Ch 2:

-Training Camp's Lobby- Nagi: We've arrived~☆ The lobby looks pretty cute too♪ It suits Nagi perfectly! What should we do about the rooms? Yamato: Now that you mention, we haven't decided on the room assignment yet, huh. Shall we split up to 2, 2, 3? Van: We also have training later, so let's decide on it quickly. 1, 2…Rock, paper, scissors! Kira: It's settled up…nicely. Eiichi, Yamato and I…in a three-person room. The rest is Eiji with Shion…And Nagi with Van. Eiichi: Everyone, please gather in the studio as soon as you put down your luggage. We're going to start our lesson immediately. Eiji: Shion, it looks like we're sharing a room together. I'm in your care! By the way, I just saw the poster that was on the entrance and… Eiji: Apparently there is a place near here where you can see wild birds. How about we go there after our practice is over? Shion: Oh my…what a blessing it is. I'm truly grateful from the bottom of my heart… -Training Camp's Lesson Room- Eiji: (…*sigh* I had no problems with the singing lesson earlier, but I don't seem to be doing well with dancing lesson today…Ah!) Eiji: We didn't align together just now, right. It's probably because I was too late. I'm sorry for failing so many times… Can we start over again from the beginning…? Yamato: Don't worry. We didn't mind it one bit. Right, Eiichi? Eiichi: …That's right, it's okay. Now then, let's play the music again. Eiji: Thank you. I'll definitely do it right this time…! Eiji: (…! My toes get stuck…!) Nagi: You okay? Nothing's hurt? Eiji: Yeah, I just stumbled a little bit…I'm really sorry. Can I ask you to start over again from the beginning…? Shion: …*pant*…*pant*… Kira: …Eiichi. Can we stop…for now? It's going to be more painful…any further. Eiichi: Yeah, you're right. …You know what, let's wrap it up here. We're going to continue tomorrow morning. There will be cameras as well, so I'm going to make some preparations now. Eiji: Okay…I got it. …I'll be refreshing my mind in the meantime!

Ch 3:

-Riverbank- Kira: Do you think Eiji is…fine from earlier? I'm a little bit…worried about him. Yamato: Well, he did work his hardest every time, but also failed repeatedly… But hey, that kind of thing happens once in a while. Yamato: And besides, Eiji is already an outstanding idol. He can handle that much on his own. Eiichi: That's right, we've given him plenty of time. Believing and waiting is also another way of being thoughtful. Kira: You're right. Eiji is…our trustworthy comrade. I guess…I was thinking too much of it. Yamato: Yeah! Well, now that I'm here, I'm going for a run now. See you guys at dinner time later. Kira: …Wait. If Yamato's going…then I will run as well. I can't afford…to fall behind. Eiichi: Count me in as well! But… Since this is a rare opportunity, just running around normally is simply boring. Eiichi: How about we make a bet with it and have a competition instead? Yamato: Okay, I'm in. So, to make it easy to understand, the loser must do one thing that the winner says, how about it? Kira: I'll accept…the challenge. The finish line will be on that big tree over there. 1, 2… Start! - Yamato: That was quite a good start, Kira. However, I'll be going first from here! Kira: No…I won't let you. Likewise… Do you think you can keep up with me? Yamato: *pant*…*pant*…. You're quite tough, aren't ya… But, your legs are probably on its limit now. Kira: That's… It should be my line. Just a little bit more…to the goal….Eiichiー?! Yamato: So fast! I can't believe I got overtaken at the last minute like this… - Eiichi: Hmm… It's really exciting to compete against someone with such great talent! That start dash was especially spectacular. Eiichi: My only regret is that it ended so quickly. …No wait, the one who finish first this time was me. Eiichi: In that case, the only “wish” I can ask for is this. I would like to request a rematch with both of you! Let's have one more heat competition. Kira & Yamato: ……!

Ch 4:

Van: And the next is… Oh, we're back at the lobby. I see, so it connected to this place. Nagi: With this, that means we're done with full tour of the building☆ Well then, let's end this exploration at that stand♪ Nagi: What do they have here~… Oh, ice cream! Not to mention, they also have Nagi's favorite too☆ Nagi: Hey, Van~ Nagi wants an ice cream♪ So that he can work even harder for the lesson☆ Van: Uhh…. If you say it like that, then I really have no choice but buy it for you! I really can't win againts Nagi-chan! Van: Besides… You probably came here with me with the intention of wanting this from the very beginning, didn't ya? Van: I thought it's weird for sure. You didn't even follow Eiji-chan and Shii-chan when they went towards the river. Nagi: That's not it. Besides~ Didn't Van had fun exploring around with cute Nagi? Van: You're right. And that's why I'll be buying you your favorite ice cream, choose one for me too, 'kay. Nagi: Yaay~! Thanks☆ Umm… First is this chocolate♪ Nagi: And then, one with fruits in it… Oh, there's the new one that I've been searching for! It's written here that the ingredients are all premium~☆ Van: Wait wait, isn't that quite a lot? If you eat that much, you're not going to have any room for dinner later. Nagi: This is for dessert after dinner! …Oh, this flower shaped one is cute too but, hmm….which one he'd like more…? Van: Oh…I see. We need to buy seven of it. And the reason why you're having trouble for that one is because it's for Eiji's share, right. Van: You're really kind, aren't ya~ I'm proud of you, Nagi-chan! Nagi: Not really…this kind of thing is normal. Anyway, which one of these do you think is the best one…? Van: That's right… Let's go with the most luxurious one. Eating that will definitely cheer him up! Van: Y'know what, let's just turn this place into a big party where we'll be handing ice creams to everyone! What do you think? Nagi: I don't think Eiji is the same as Van though… Oh well, party is not that bad I guess. It's fun too♪ Nagi: Alright, now that it's settled, let's go and call Eiichi and the others right away! We're going to start a strategy meeting for the ice cream party☆

Ch 5:

Shion: The babbling sound of the river, the swaying green leaves through the sunlight, and the occasional soft chirping of the birds. …As I thought, the waterside is indeed a place where you can feel at ease. Shion: Ohh… This voice sounds like it came from a small bird with soft green feathers… It wasn't very noticeable from here, but… it was definitely there, on that branch… Eiji: Eh…? Oh…you're right. It's so small and cute…Ah. Eiji: It flied away. Maybe it went back to its home… Shion: (…Eiji…I guess he's still worried about what happened earlier… Is there something that I can do to cheer him up…) Shion: That tree with the white branches that can be seen by the riverbank… I wonder what kind of flowers will bloom on it… Eiji: Umm, those are fluffy flowers full of white, elongated petals that can be seen in the spring. Shion: Then what's the name of that tall grass over there…? Eiji: …Umm, that one, judging from its leaves…Oh. Hey, Shion. Are you trying to be considerate of me? Eiji: We've only been talking of my favorite plants instead of birds since a while ago. Shion: That's, um… I'm not… Eiji: I thought so. …I'm sorry. Not only just now, but also during that lesson earlier. Eiji: Now that I think about it, it's because I kept trying to start over that I accidently made Shion pushed himself too hard, and that's why the practice got halted earlier… Shion: The one who's at fault was Amakusa. Because of my lack of strength, I could not continue to do it to the fullest… Eiji: No, it's actually my fault. I was only just thinking about myself, it's my fault that I made everyone repeating themselves over and over again. Shion: But, I also… Ah, if we keep this up it will never end… Eiji: You're right. I was wrong earlier. …What I really needed to say to you was actually a thank you. Eiji: Thanks for worrying about me. I really need to pull myself together, for Shion's sake and everyone who gave me time to cool myself down. Shion: …For that, we need the power of the nature. Trees with roots planted deep in the earth, and small birds perched on the treetops chirping gracefully. Shion: I'm sure it will provide a great comfort and learning…

Ch 6:

Nagi: ーOkaay, now that everyone's here, let's start the strategy meeting right away! The topic is about the ice cream party after dinner☆ Van: Actually, Nagi-chan and I were just talking about how we wanted to give Eiji-chan some ice cream to cheer him up. Van: And then I thought, why don't we just turn it into an enjoyable party and hand them over one-by-one with everyone? It will be a nice change of pace too. Kira: I'm okay…with that. What do you think…Eiichi? Eiichi: Yeah, I agree. Since everyone cares so much about it, I would rather we do something fun for it. Yamato: Shall we turn it into a treasure hunt like we did last time? The one where you get an ice cream if you can solve the puzzle. Nagi: It sounds good, but I don't think we have enough time to prepare… At the very least, I want to decorate the venue in a cute style. Eiichi: If we can somehow lead Eiji outside, even with the strict requirement for the treasure hunt's preparation, we can still have time to do the decorations, can't we? Van: A way to lure them outside at night… Hmm. It's already completely out of season, but maybe we can do a test of courage…? Shion: …Why is everyone gathered here? Did we forgot that we're supposed to have a meeting or… Van: Oh that's not it, you don't have to worry. We were just talking about how it would be fun to do a test of courage after dinner. Nagi: Yep yep☆ It's a fun activity and we planned to split up the team with each room pairs to strengthen our bonds! I know it's not summer right now, but Nagi wants to do it♪ Shion: Test of courage… I don't mind but… Eiji: If we're going by room pairs, that means I'll be the one going with you, right? Then I'll lead the way as a thank you for earlier, so you don't have to worry. Shion: …Amakusa is not that young to receive such consideration. Rather, Eiji should just think of me as your older brother and let me be the one in charge. Kira: Like an older brother…huh. …The way how you two care about each other. Both of you…are admirable. Yamato: I mean, it's fine but, with the way how it's going, don't you think it feels a bit weird…? First of all, Eiji's older brother is literally right there. Eiji: Fufu! …Thanks, Shion. Okay, I'll be counting on you. Eiichi: Now then, let's get started with the preparations! But before that Shion, can you come here for a bit? There's something that I need to tell you. Shion: …? Got it…

Ch 7:

Shion: (Eiichi and the others have entrusted me with the task of keeping Eiji in this test of courage as long as possible. I must do my best…to fulfill this task…) Shion: …Forgive me, Eiji. It's because I drew the first number, we were forced to suddenly do the challenge first… Eiji: Nah, you don't have to worry. Let's give it our best, okay? …Isn't this the area where we both came before dinner? Eiji: The atmosphere changes a lot at night. I wonder if the birds around are also different. Shion: The bird that chirps just now is a different bird. But the little green bird we saw before were said to also flies at night. Though it would be a little difficult to actually see them. Eiji: Oh, I see. It'd be nice if we could find them… Wait sorry, we don't have time to play around. We need to hurry up. Shion: No…we don't…have to hurry. …Right, being hasty will only lead to confusion. If we go down the wrong path, we'll just end up getting lost. Shion: Let's continue to walk as we normally do. It's important to move forward with peace of mind… Eiji: I guess you're right. Umm, let's review the instruction map again… Eiji: Right now we're in this area, and the tree we're looking for is probably nearby. I don't think we're on the wrong path. Shion: …Right. As soon as we found that tree, we just need…to pick up the letter stored in the hole, return back to the camp and we're done. Shion: W-What's that noise just now…!? It sounds so unfamiliar… Eiji: It's okay, I think it's just a wind. It started blowing suddenly… Mm…it's getting stronger now. Eiji: Whoa…! Something fell down. Oh…It's a flower! Does that mean this tree is the one we're looking for…? Eiji: …It really is. Here, I found the hole! I've heard that this tree's flowers are prone to scaling… Oh, I found the letter, too. Shion: Ohh, as expected of Eiji. That's a brilliant deduction using your knowledge of plants… Eiji: Oh no, calling it a brilliant deduction is a bit of an exaggeration. But I'm flattered by your compliment. …Anyway, there's 3 letters here, what should we do? Shion: The one who found it is Eiji. You should choose the one that appeals the most to you. Eiji: Well then, I'm going to pick the one on the top. …Wow, it's written "jackpot" here! But… Is this really how a test of courage supposed to be like? Shion: It’s probably a sign that something good will happen after this. I think it's best to just be grateful and accept it…

Ch 8:

Nagi: Eiichi, can you move that chenille stems a little bit more to the right… Yep, it's perfectly cute☆ Now the decorations are complete♪ Kira: Now…let's hand out…the party poppers. It should be popped…at the moment the ice cream is handed out. Yamato: Oi, Eiji and Shion is already back! They're quite faster than I thought! We need to hurry go outside. Eiichi: Got it. We're just about done with the preparation. Everyone, after you get the party popper from Kira, start heading outside. - Eiji: ーShion, I can see the training camp! …Oh, are you guys waiting here for us? We're back! Van: Welcome back? How's the result? …Though I guess I don't have to ask with that smiling face of yours! Shion: Yeah… Eiji made use of his knowledge of plants and found the tree we're looking for… Yamato: Wow, that's amazing. How's the letter you guys picked up? Eiji: Umm, there are 3 letters around and the one that I picked had a "jackpot" written on it. Here. Kira: …Congratulations. If you pulled off the jackpot…that means you'll get the special treatment. Now…come here. - Eiji: …Wow! It looks just like a party venue… There's even a banner that says "Congratulations"…! Nagi: Okaa~y, congrats on hitting the jackpot☆ As for the prize, we'll be giving you this special ice cream♪ Nagi: Umm, this one is for Eiji, and this one is Shion's☆ Eiji: Wow…! But, is it really okay? To give me this delicious ice cream… Van: It's perfectly okay. Besides, Nagi-chan originally bought this for Eiji in the first place. Eiichi: Yeah, Nagi was very determined to give it to you in a very elaborate way, he even took the initiative to organize it. Take it as you will. Nagi: Hey, what are you guys telling him!? Geez~!! …That's not it, okay! This is just a normal ice cream party! Shion: …As long as Eiji's happy, I'm also happy as well. Everyone thought the same thing too. Eiji: …You guys did all of this for me… I, thank you so much. I feel like I can do anything as long as everyone's with me. Eiji: As I thought, I really love HE★VENS…!

Ch 9:

Eiji: (Ah…the one where I got tripped yesterday…I managed to perfectly did it! Alright, let's keep this up until the end…!) Eiichi: We managed to do it successfuly. Turn off the camera for a bit. …Good for you, Eiji! You look as if a different person than yesterday. Eiji: It's all thanks to everyone. I've received a lot of strength from you guys yesterday. Shion also helped me practice too this morning. Eiji: I can't thank you enough how much I appreciate you all. I know I say this a lot, but again, thank you so much for everything. Shion: The same goes for Amakusa as well. Eiji has always been kind, considerate and helped me a lot. Shion: I want you to always please keep that in mind… Now, let's move on to the next filming. 【Road to Live! -Special Comments-】 Yamato: Yo, Angel. The training camp for the upcoming live has been going really well. Yamato: I feel like I can do my best, knowing that you guys are waiting for us. In return, we will give you the best live ever! Kira: Don't look back…and just keep looking forward. In order to make Angel…happier than anyone else. Kira: I'm sending you…my honest feelings. I hope you will…receive it. Eiichi: This supreme music, which strongly binds us to Angel. The eyes that look back at us are more eloquent than any other words. Eiichi: This song full of love will add more colors to you and make you shine even more brighter. Now, let us take you to an even higher place…! Van: Beautiful scenery and splendid facilty… There are so many things here that I wanted to show you, Angel. But… Van: What I want to show you the most is how we've changed and grown during this training camp. I will give you lots of love, so please look forward to it! Nagi: Hey, Angel. You probably already knew this but, I'm reaa~lly a genius, y'know? Nagi: As soon as you take your eyes off of me for even a second, I'll become a new Nagi right away, y'know! So you have to watch me all the time, okay☆ Shion: We, HE★VENS, always care and support each other… The driving force behind this is always you, Angel. Shion: Amakusa vows to be your strength to the best of his ability. Let this beautiful melody that we play express our many thoughts and feelings toward you… Eiji: Compared to how incompetent I feel in myself, I actually feel much more happier just by seeing your face, Angel. Eiji: And that's why, I'll try to do my best to continue stand on that stage. So that I can meet you, my dearest…!

Ch 10:

-Live Stage's Backstage- Eiji: (…The opening video has started… It seems that everyone's happy to see us during our training camp, I'm glad) Eiji: (Alright… Let's go!) - Eiji: Thank you for coming over here, Angel! Are you ready for the song? Eiji: Fufu, I'm glad to hear that. I hope you enjoy it to the fullest! Shion: I wonder if you enjoyed the opening video… It was taken from our training camp in preparation for this live. Shion: So many things that we've gained there have now come to fruition… Just as the name “Road to Live!” implies, it has led us to this day. Eiji: If I had to pick one thing that I enjoyed about the training camp, I would say the ice cream party. Eiji: Nagi took the lead in organizing an ice cream party for everyone. Van: We borrowed the lobby of the training camp and decorated it. By having a nice change of pace, even eating an ice cream will get you fired up! Eiichi: I have fond memories of having a running competition by the riverbank that was featured in the video earlier. Yamato: We did it multiple times after all. Although I'm frustrated that I lost at the first time. I ended up winning on the next one so I just let it pass. Kira: Whoever wins first…will have their wish granted. We started it with that bet in mind…but in the end, everyone used their wishes to request a rematch. Nagi: That's so troublesome… I'm glad that I never went with them. Nagi went exploring the training camp♪ We took pictures at a cute place we found there☆ Shion: The souvenir that Amakusa bought still remains in my heart… It's a glass container suitable for serving light snow*. Eiji: Let's use it with everyone when summer came, okay. …Anyway, that's it for our memories from the training camp. Eiji: From today onwards, I want to make lots of wonderful memories with you. Shion: Right. Such a wonderful memory that will make you smile spontaneously however many times you recall it. Eiji: Now, let's go! Everyone, make sure to follow us, okay! Shion: Let's fly into the world of music together with us. Eiji: We want you to experience the music that only the seven of us…HE★VENS can create!

*: Idk exactly what kind of souvenir did Shion bought... like, ガラスの器 is indeed can be a glassware/glass container, and 盛り付け is indeed mean serving but... Idk I'm quite confused on how to translate that:")))

[likeawildthing]

when i fnished grad school (which was actually 2022? new job was this year though!) my friends made me swear on a napkin to learn to relax and im happy to report the experiment has been a success and i have become a lesiure QUEEN.

what am i doing w/ my free time?

making miniatures! currently working on a dollhouse for my old coworker's daughters. will share pics! maybe i will finish a single project this year.

hanging out w/ my kids and their GFs because they're awesome. at the same time, trying to avoid becoming BFFs with said lovely GFs because i cannot take having another tragic breakup dollhouse rotting in my basement

i color in a coloring book every night which is not making my own art but it is relaxing w/out the pressure of making like work!

making friends in the most random places (mammogram screening, hospital emergency room, while white water rafting)

slowly watching my gardens die because my kids forgot to water them when i was out of town for two weeks and i've been sick for most of the summer (feeling MUCH BETTER now. who knew gallbladders could be such a nightmare!)

have been going to monthly craft meet ups with the old ladies at my library. they go multiple times a week and the tea is always piping (literally AND metaphorically)

at my prev WFH job the cat trained me to sit on the couch w/ him BUT at my new WFH job I need 2 screens so i've slowly been traning him to sit in a cat tree next to me. it's a WIP for sure. he s a king forever and i hate to ruin his life but mommy must have a job to pay the bills)

exercse? hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no. i did buy a stair stepper when i was on morphine in the hosptal tho because i thought it would be KEY TO MY RECOVERY? ma'am. no.

rewatching derry girls once a month becase yes?

have become a NYT games feind. morning: wordle, connections, i am 50/50 on strands but am giving it a try. 9pm sharp: sudoku, the mini, crossword. spelling bee enrages me.

learning my own WFH fashion

getting myself grocery store flowers every week, taking flowers to other poeple every other week

i am so angry about this but...doing laundry on a weekly basis is actually good for my mental health? so now i do laundry on a weekly basis instead of holding for weeks and doing 22 loads in a weekend once a month. (no fear, i am not and never will be the type of functional person who does a load of laundry a day, or, god forbid, pair socks. sock basket or bust for life). i did by a cordless shark vacuum and it's lifechanging.

reading again! have read two books this week which is more than the last several months so that feels nice <3

apparently trauma dumping on tumblr again

venmoing my kids so they'll run snack-based errands

[fullscoreshenanigans]

While some kids must have the same mum, which is normal; because if we take only Grace Field, there are not so THAT much sisters who will complete their training in the HQ compared to all the kids in all the orphanages of GF (considering how hard is the traning, when we sees Krone's extra). Considering Isabella's words, Emma is the first she planned to propose for years. Maybe the FIRST she planned to propose. So it must not happen THAT often.

I mean in Isabella's orphanage they were 33 i think? and if there are 5 orphanages, we have 165 children for all Grace Field, with 6 new every year for every place so 30 by year. So every year 30 babies must be born.

So it's logical that some have the same mother. And i fell bad for the sisters who have to do that few times. It must be a torture.

But i wonder....the fathers must be sperm donators who doesn't know anything about the system. But I wonder how much kids have the same 'father'.

From your ask from a few months ago, we confirmed Grace Field is made up of five plants, and Ray confirms in chapter 4/episode 2 that there are 37 kids after Conny's shipment and prior to Carol's arrival.

(S1 Episode 1; Isabella also apparently reminds of their numbers every day at meal time)

(Minerva Confidential Report released with the S1 Blu-ray; 38 children accounted for on October 12, 2045)

The last chapter of the first light novel takes place around Norman's birthday in March 2045 and is also titled "The Gift from the 39th Girl" (available as a sound drama here) which further supports they keep at the very least plant no.3 supplied with 38 kids the majority of the time between shipments.

Assuming that number is applied to the other four plants, there's roughly 190 kids in the orphanages at any given time in Grace Field's current incarnation.

if we take only Grace Field, there are not so THAT much sisters who will complete their training in the HQ compared to all the kids in all the orphanages of GF (considering how hard is the training, when we sees Krone's extra). Considering Isabella's words, Emma is the first she planned to propose for years. Maybe the FIRST she planned to propose. So it must not happen THAT often.

And like I said in that earlier ask and this one, I still don't understand how the math works out for this given how brutal and unforgiving headquarters is, but we go along on Shirai's ride and chalk it up to dystopian horror magicks to explain how they kept this up for centuries.

I could believe Emma is the first sister candidate Isabella offered a recommendation for the mom position in years given the significance of them being narrative foils and Emma potentially being among the first children Isabella raised entirely by herself at plant no.3 for added poignancy, though with how she was also the only mom who had the older girls exclusively assisting her in the care of the youngest babies

(Chapter 7 | Chapter 12)

I think you could just as easily argue she recommended multiple girls before Emma with how she maximized their time for pursuits that would better equip them to become sisters/moms. (Why "waste" it on boys when their only future was to be food? Further entrenchment in rigid, traditional gender roles).

So it's logical that some have the same mother. And i fell bad for the sisters who have to do that few times. It must be a torture. But i wonder....the fathers must be sperm donators who doesn't know anything about the system. But I wonder how much kids have the same 'father'.

Shirai never ever touching this with a 20-foot pole with how icky the dehumanization of the farm system feels already in the present:

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 Q&A)

Without even getting into how they handled things prior to artificial insemination. (Though I do personally favor a member of the Ratri clan's branch family being a male relative of Norman's two to four generations back).

But yeah, the people themselves probably just think they're donating to a regular licensed sperm bank that guarantees anonymity between all parties involved, so they wouldn't know if their genetic material was being used even under regular circumstances, and with the Ratri clan's power even into the present day after WWIII when countries and borders have been abolished, they still had enough influence where they could arrange deals with these banks to provide enough genetic material to keep all the farms going without anyone really questioning it.

I like the Emma & Carol, Norman & Rossi, and Norman & Sherry are (half-biological) siblings through their moms theories, but maybe in the human world they do genetic testing and find out who they're related to among the cattle children and among people in the human world through their sperm donors.

HOW TO SHIFT TO VOID/DR/IMAGINATION (using yoga nidra!)

[ hi guys! I’ve been researching for ongoing shifting attempts I’ve been doing and I found out about a really interesting meditation/yoga method, yoga nidra, that looks like it could help a lot with visualizing our imaginations/4d and shifting to the void/dr! disclaimer- I’m like not at all an expert on this technique. yoga, or desi culture in general, I literally like just started researching it today, what I hope to do is introduce LOA methodology to some of this technique to help manifestors and shifters in their LOA journeys, if I get anything wrong, offend anyone or if theirs something you’d like to enlighten on, please comment, reblog, or send an ask! ♡ anyways let’s get onto the post ~ ]

so, what is yoga nidra?

[ from my (brief) research, yoga nidra is a yoga technique which allows for access to the states between sleep and waking consciousness, which is relevant to manifestors and shifters because this intermediary state allows for the brain to be more susceptible to allow our subconscious to manifest our dream live and wants. Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice vital to the Hindu religion for millenia, but the specific form of yoga nidra I’ll be discussing was established during the 1970s, and I am mostly going off of the teachings of Satyananda Saraswati (this figure is controversial and is tied to accusations of sexual abuse, I in no way am supporting his actions and only want to share the information he provided with my additions, his action are super, super, gross, don’t support him as a person or financially). The following brackets will be profiling the seven steps needed to achieve the yoga nidra state. Also, this method is greatly aided by the assistance of a guided meditation, which can be provided through audio form such as through youtube or spotify (which there are numerous resources) or irl through a yoga instructor or friend, but make sure this environment is safe, and research your yoga gurus. you can lets begin ♡ ]

HOW TO ACHIEVE YOGA NIDRA : STEP 1 - STARFISH / SAVASANA POSITION

[ the first position which is recommended for yoga nidra is to assume the shavasana position, more commonly known as the starfish position in western circles due to having all four limbs spread openly, similarly to the animal. We’ll be further using the effects of this technique during the course of the yoga nidra state. ]

STEP 2 - THINKING WITH INTENT

[ this step might be familiar to shifters and some manifestors, as we’re often instructed to think with intent to achieve your desired manifestations or reality. In this state, we will think with intents to fully relax our mind and body, and later, think with the intention that no matter what, you will achieve your desired state or want, think with the intent that all limiting beliefs have been discarded. ]

STEP 3 - ROTATION OF CONSCIOUSNESS

[ I think this is basically just body scanning, but can also be used as an oppurtunity to position your consciousness into that of the desired person, state, reality etc you want to achieve. Disconnect your body fully from the 3D world at this point, you should only be aware of the 4D world ]

STEP 4 - AWARNESS OF BREATH

[ it’s basically what it sounds like lol, so just do your preferred breathing excercises ]

STEP 5 - FEELINGS AND SENSATIONS

[ this is where you should start to visualize your inner world more vividly, invoking the ability to use your 5 senses in your inner world to further immerse your brain in this experience. I’ve already made a post (that no one read) about how to easily invoke your five senses to shift :) ]

STEP 6 - CREATIVE VISUALIZATIONS

[ this is an extension of the previous step, where you visualize your inner world. in this step, the focus is specifically on the sense of vision in the inner world, where intense mental traning and concentration is used to invision complex imagery. remember, visualizing (and vision in general) is a sequence of succeeding imagery, it’s not that complicated at all, and you’ll become better and better every time you try! ]

STEP 7 - INTENTIONAL THINKING - THE RE-UP

[ This final step invokes once again intentional thinking, but instead of easing you into the dream world, it eases you out, returning the mind to wakefullness. ]

conclusion ~

[ what originally drawn me into this method was that it provided the clearest instruction of how to bring ourselves to the inner world I’ve seen before, and I hope it was able to inspire you also~ you’re going to manifest your desires, it’s literally destiny, remember that, and byeee! ♡ ]

😞Maybe you cried after reading this 😔

Master Tigress Origin: In the ancient China, tiger's protect everyone from the Evil spirits and demon's. In that time a famous emperor rules Over the "Lanzhu" City. Name - "Qin shi huan"- he build the "Great Wall of China" to protect everyone from the demon's and monsters. He also created terracotta army tradition, And he is the first emperor who unified all States in one piece in China. He had Two Son's - Name - Fusu his Eldest son and Wuxi his youngest son. After his father's death. One day a powerfull demon attack in "Lanzhu City" and attacks on everyone and Steals everyone's life force. Wuxi died during that war. But that demon is still alive. Fusu attack that Demon Until he sickly Injured, Fusu and his wife somehow Escape from there, fusu Oaths i will kill that demon someday! and Travel through lands and lands for Help. They found a Village and they start living there. After a Year they have a Child a girl with beautiful eyes, and smooth fur they give her a name- (Àixīyǒng) after some days later that demon Attack that village also. Fusu attack that Demon but his wife says we need to protect our Child first. Fusu: Agree with his wife but Hesitatedly. He realised he needs to protect his daughter first. So they leave that Village and came in the valley of peace They found this valley covered with mountains and bamboo forest, but there everyone gets fear from them and says you are a monster leave our village! because they never seen a tiger before.. so Fusu and his wife were leaving. They see a Orphanage near at the valleys End. They leave (Àixīyǒng) mean Tigress at the front door. And go away... The End.

Ok maybe you was thinking.. why valley's people are so rude and mad at them. because in that time, in the valley of peace only Sheep's, goats, goose's, Rabbits,Ox Resident's. I means This all are prey of tiger so They hate tiger's. We seen this before in the Kung fu panda secret of the furious 5 (master Tigress episode) That's why when owner of the Bao gau Orphanage and other Children discover that it's a baby of tigers they are so fricking mad. That's why they call her a ( MONSTER )

But this is not truth She is just so much powerful and she has sharp claws and sharp tooth's.

When I was a kid i wonder why tigress get's so angry all time? But now I know Why she always look like she is angry. But actually She is firm, disciplined, focused, careful. And another reason is Shifu's rude behaviour you know always mood off person 😁 from Tigress's childhood she lost her parents, her home, and shifu rises her through hard training without any friends, and shifu never show Pride and much love to her. Cause shifu afraid from ti lung's past happens. Ohh that's so horrible 😨 for tigress. When Tigress is younger shifu train her like this.. tigress wake up in the morning and starts kung fu traning and it's end's at afternoon. I mean she missed all Fun,happiness, humour, friends. Ohh my god! Just think guys, like She is a robot that just Obbying Shifu's Oder. That's why she looks angry always. But truth' is She is empty from inside. She is always tries to be serious and focused. Also She knows how exactly someone feels when someone lost their parents. that's why she understands Po. And THAT'S WHY SHE IS WORTHY FOR THE DRAGON WARRIOR TITLE. ( KFP 4 sucks 😞)

And one last thing... (Àixīyǒng) It is Chinese name. That Means-

* 愛 (ài):Love

* 希 (xī): Hope

* 勇 (yǒng): Bravery, courage

[feathersandfarmers]

can you do fowler headcanons please

hmm...I'll try! He's not a character I've given much thought to tbh.

-Back in his RAF days, he had a fling with a young, beautiful hen named Lottie. He was really in love with her and was going to propose but things just didn't work out between them due to the war going on at the time/Fowler being too unavailable when he joined the RAF (Right person, wrong time sort of situation) This caused Fowler a lot of emotional pain, and it hardened him quite a lot.

-Fowler had a drinking problem at some point but he worked really hard to quit and become sober. (And yes, Fowler being an alcoholic was legitimately going to be in the first Chicken Run movie, but it got cut from the film believe it or not) I feel his drinking issues would mainly stem from Lottie leaving him, but also feeling useless once he got sent to Tweedy's farm.

-At some point in the first movie, when Ginger has motivated Fowler to fly their make-shift airplane, he gets up and states "Wing commander, T.I Fowler, reporting for duty!" well... I've always wondered if T.I stood for some kind of position in the airforce( Most likely Traning instructor from what i looked up)

.....(this is less likely) or were they his initials (Fowler is his last name, perhaps?) Well, I remember coming up with the name Timothy Irving! Timothy Irving Fowler! (well obviously, Fowler preferred to go by his last name as he felt it more professional and didn't like his first name, something like that) meh

-Fowler gifted Molly a airplane miniature when she was born. (I like to think a lot of Ginger's closest friends gave Molly gifts when she hatched)

-This idea is not too specific, but i like to think Fowler had all kinds of misadventures/punishments that happened to him during his time in the bootcamps that were prepping him for the RAF. I'm imagining this HUGE drill sergeant rooster character that made the lives of all the roosters there a living hell. (Why, i think there are some hints of this in the Pies for Soul book!) I'm mainly inspired by these really funny bootcamp stories i found off Reddit. I want to take inspiration from some of the funniest ones i find (giving credit of course)

here's an example of one in particular i can imagine happening amongst a bunch of roosters.

-When Fowler first saw Rocky, he did a double-take. Rocky, looked an awful lot like "Jocko", one of Fowler's good friends while at bootcamp/the RAF. Sadly, Jocko had a very bad faith and perished in a crash. :c

-Fowler can be very sweet deep-down. If he knows one of the hens is sad, despite his rough exterior, he still can say a few words of encouragement and give said-hen a little peck-talk (pep-talk, sorry for the pun haha)

That's what i have for now! Hopefully you think they are at least decent, i wrote these while very tired and kinda out of it hehehe

"You're doing very well, Yumi!" Garmadon's smile blinds her, but she doesn't mind, too happy to hear this compliment. "It's great you're getting more control of the Dream element."

"But, Master..." Yumi interrupts. "I'm still bothered by nightmares where you're gone, and I don't know what to do... They feel so real... And so painful..."

She sighs heavily. These nightmares have become her second life, and that hurts.

"Well, I think it's your last test from the Dream," Garmadon replies with kind smile. "You should choose which world you belong."

Yumi looks carefully at Sensei's face, and the feeling of hope lifts her spirit. If she has to fight nightmare, pain and suffering so everybody can live peacefully, free from sorrows and violence... She wiil do her best.

"So, what do you choose?"

"I choose eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

Kai goes through the traning course, punching, kicking dummies and shooting them with fireballs. However, the last strike misses. He turns off the mechanism with a tired sigh.

"How's it going?" Yumi suddenly appears behind his back.

"AAAAH!" Kai screams and almost jumps away. "Ugh... You can't sneak and scare people like that!"

"Sorry." She smiles calmly. "So, how's your training?"

Kai looks at dummies and shrugs it off. "Eh, as usual..."

"But you look tired," Yumi notices.

"Maybe I've lost my fit a bit, but that's okay, I can deal with it." Girl stares at Kai, so intently that he starts to worry about it. "Um, what? Is something wrong with my hair?"

"No, I just think I can help you," she smiles again.

"You?" Kai raises his eyebrow in confusion. "I thought you didn't like combat training."

"Oh, I don't need to fight you. I've learnt a new technique to strengthen you," Yumi stretches out her hand. "Do you want to give it a try?"

"Hm... Sure, why not!" Kai gets kind of interested in her progress, so he gives a hand.

Yumi closes her eyes, and Kai feels how the energy fills his body. Weariness leaves him, he feels completely fresh and renewed. The Red Ninja makes a hit in the air and release a burst of fire, the strongest he's ever seen.

"Wow! What a feeling!" he laughs and destroys the annoying dummy on his way. "I've never felt so energetic!"

"Hey, can you be quiet?! I'm trying to-" Jay, who came out to complain, breaks off in mid-sentence, amazed. "Woah, that's so cool! How are you doing that?"

Yumi turns to him with the same calm smile.

"Do you want to try this technique of mine too?"

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

As Cole closes the fridge door and turns back, he almost drops his portion of snacks out of surprise.

"Hi, Cole," Yumi doesn't even move, smiling calmly.

"Oof, Yumi... How have you got here so quietly?"

"I've learnt some stealth recently."

"That's... That's good to hear," Cole smiles, however, he feels something weird. "Hey, I can't help but notice that you look better... I mean, you finally seem chill again as you were, well, before all the events."

Yumi remains silent and staring.

"... I'm sorry, did it sound bad?" Cole can't even read her expression. "I mean, I'm glad you're fine now. Not stressed or something like that."

"Thank you," Yumi replies. "I'm happy to hear it."

"Cool... Cool."

Cole grabs a snack and eats it, but doesn't get satisfaction.

"Something's wrong?" girl immediately asks.

"Eh, it's just not the same..." Cole sighs with frustration. "It's a hard time for Chen's Noodle House so their food is... So tasteless. Skylor promised to fix that, but for now I have to deal with-"

"Let me help you," Yumi interrupts and stretches out her hand closer to Cole's face. "My new ability will help you to feel the whole spectrum of tastes and even more."

"Uh, what? When have you learnt this trick?" Cole slightly moves away from her hand.

"That doesn't matter, friend. Kai and Jay have already tested it... And they're happy. Don't be afraid, let me help you."

"Okay... But only this time."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

"Hey, Yumi, have you called me?" Lloyd enters the room and sees Yumi who leans on a sofa back. She looks at him with relaxed smile.

"I want to talk with you," she replies and makes a gesture to come closer. Lloyd makes a few steps and then notices Kai, Jay and Cole sleeping on the sofa.

"Huh... That's strange of them to sleep in the middle of the day," the Green Ninja notes.

"They've got tired of training so they're taking a nap now," Yumi slightly pats Cole's head. "Look, you know I had hard times... Everything was a mess..."

Lloyd looks carefully at Yumi as she talks. Something disturbs him, something surreal in details of her appearance. She let her hair down, though she always ties it up in two buns. There's no sign of bags under eyes, but it's too early for them to completely disappear. Her movements are very slow, and her eyes don't look at Lloyd... Yumi looks through him, right into his soul.

"But a miracle happened... I saw him."

"Who?.." Lloyd asks in confusion.

"Sensei Garmadon. Our mentor. Your father."

Yumi smiles, and an uncanny feeling strikes Lloyd.

"W-what?.. You must be joking, this is nonsense..." he mumbles.

"This is real, Lloyd!" Yumi sounds excited. "I meet your father in my dreams! My element has finally started to help me! And this way... Garmadon taught me how to control dreams!"

Lloyd sees a tone of craziness in her look.

"Look at our friends, Lloyd! They're happy thanks to Dream! Isn't it wonderful? These new abilities are amazing!"

Lloyd takes a step away, scared of Yumi.

"But you put them to sleep... How long have they been sleeping?!"

"An hour... Or two... Or five..." Yumi counts, getting closer to Lloyd. "But does it matter? They're happy! They're in the best world of all where all their dreams come true! And you can join them, you can finally see your father and never lose him again..."

"Yumi, that's not the way! You're crazy, come to your senses!"

"Oh, Lloyd..."

Yumi smiles and reaches for him. Lloyd tries to get away, but the Dream Master grabs his head and blinds him with her glowing pink eyes.

"I will help you reach the eternal happiness."

*＊✿❀⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤⏤❀✿＊*

The Titanium Dragon flies above Ninjago City. Zane returns home from a mission. Looking down, he notices that city is... Dormant. The streets are covered in pink mist, and people are asleep on sidewalks, in cars, in their offices. Fortunately, there's no sight of car accidents.

"Pixal, can you analyze this fog?"

"I can't find any information in the database. But, I have to say, it seems to have the same structure as Yumi's elemental power. If I were you, I would hurry."

The dragon speeds up, and Zane gets home in a few minutes. Now it's clear for him that the source of fog is here. He walks through the rooms past the sleeping Nya, Master Wu, Misako... Everybody is asleep. Zane moves crosscurrent and finally reaches the source — Yumi. She floats in the lotus position, surrounded by sleeping ninja. As she pats Lloyd's head, her hand absorbs green sparkles of energy.

"You returned..." Yumi speaks slowly.

The Dream Master straightens her legs and floats closer. Zane gets an opportunity to look at her carefully, and her new appearance scares him. Yumi is wearing a dark-pink kimono with flower patterns, its sleeves and skirt slightly flatter. Yumi's hair float like in the water, and antlers made of cherry branches bloom on her head, filling the room with petals.

"What have you done?.." Zane asks quietly in disbelief. How have everything got out of hand so quickly?

"I... Sent them to a better world." Yumi smiles and looks right through Zane's heart with her eyes closed.

"You put them to sleep."

"The Dream Realm is the best home for these tired souls. It's always been."

"But they can't sleep forever. Yhey must wake up!" Zane insists, but Yumi just shrugs.

"You don't understand. You must join them and see. I will be your guide, Zane, you deserve joining the world of satisfaction..."

She reaches out to touch, but nindroid keeps the distance.

"I'm sorry to say it, but it's the wrong way, Yumi. Running from reality isn't a solution."

"The real world is cruel, violent and sorrowful. The Dream Realm gives them eternal happiness. There's nothing wrong, it's the only way to save Ninjago..."

"No!" Zane interrupts. "You can't choose for others. All you give them is the illusion of happiness, when they can experience real feelings in reality."

Yumi remains silent for a moment.

"You're being stubborn... You're afraid. If you can't believe me..." The Dream Master opens her eyes that turned pink. "Then I will show you the truth."

Yumi dashes to Zane and grabs him by shoulders. He struggles to free himself but fails. The Dream Master looks straight into his eyes.

"You're a nindroid, of course you think differently. But that's not a problem... You see dreams too. You're just like humans... And you deserve the eternal happiness too."

Yikes indeed. And yeah, I can't blame anyone either who gets traumatized by it all. To say the therapists are going to be very busy for the next few decades ain't a understatment to say the least.

And well, then theres how Kafka handle it all. Which is not great honestly. His own truma is back with a vengence, the same with the nightmares. It gets bad enough Tiny forces Kafka to go into a hibernation of sorts for a full week straight to calm him down. A act that many of Kafka's close friends finds necessary with how erratic Kafka is starting to behave.

And he gets sent less out on mission that involves Ninth Kaijus, unless absolute needed. He dosen't handle it well batteling these kaijus due what they reminds him off and his attacks often becomes desperate to quickly end it all. Which has more then once almost gotten into a berserk mode.

Its not uncommon for Mina, Soshiro, Okonogi, Reno, Kikoru and many others sleeping in Kafka's nest. Not only to keep Kafka calm, but also for their own comfort as well.

In the end, Isao forced a order for Kafka to transferr to the First Divison and he personally trains Kafka to get a better handle on it all. He's going to have to be the bad cop for lack of better words to get Kafka to take a grip on it and not let his truma and fear take over. Something that earns him ire from many of those Kafka is close with, but not one of them stops him cause he is really the only one who can do this.

Narumi and Soshiro also takes a harder stand on Kafka, mostly in the training aspects to get Kafka's fighting spirit up. They both are hell bent on making it easier for Kafka to actually fight these kaijus without freezing up everytime he is near or sees these kaijus.

Mina is no different. She too is traning Kafka in ways the others can't. And both bring some much needed support to each other in these hard times. Jun has pretty much tripled her motherly love and support. It becomes common for her to serve her special teas and dishes to distraught officer who often finds themself lacking an appetite. Or offer a shoulder to cry on for those who needs it.

She herself finds support from everyone as well. As theres only so much this 70+ old woman can take too.

Soshiro even gets to see a hard shift in his own family as well. His father comes out of retirement and joins in putting these poor souls to rest. And Soshiro actually finds he don't mind much that his dad and big bro is there to help in these battles. And well, he may not have the best bonds with his family as a whole, but even he gets utterly pissed off when finding out that some of his cousins have been turned into these kaijus as well.

For once 10 is very happy he is not the target that Soshiro has eyes on. He is also more then happy to help mercy kill these kaijus too. They are just too wrong for even him to let live long.

Kafka is definitely gonna need the mental training as he can't run from this forever. Find a mindset that can help him face Ninth Kaiju without breaking down. Tiny would be the best for that bit since he originates from ancient Japan.

A time where casualties were higher and horrific carnage was seen for kaiju fighters of those days. Kafka's morals are the key.

'Would you let these tortured souls continue to suffer? 'We know this task is difficult as every warrior before you have gone through this trial. Seen horrors that those of days once been spared from. Done things they would regret for eternity but knew it has to be complete.

Help the lost find peace in death through clear eyes if you truly wish to aid them. Share the burden that your comrades carry and ease each other's pain once the battle has ended.'
