Within a few days, I'd moved across the country. Even though anyone from Xavier's could fly over without warning, I thought it would be good for me. I wanted to escape Jean and the heartache she brought with her. Jean had everything. I had left, she had Logan, and I'm sure she would find a way to manipulate Scott again. Just like always done.

Given the circumstances, I wasn't looking forward to my return as a teacher. I had worked as a secretary for a lawyer through college to be able to pay for tuition, and I decided that would be my best bet.

I sat in my bed at the hotel, craning my neck at my laptop screen. Finding a job here was a lot harder than I had anticipated. After a few hours, I had finally found a decent opening. It was a higher-level position at a conglomerate major enough for even me to have heard of. I suppose it's not shocking how much the former CEO is always in the news. A fact that makes sense with the understanding that almost every eligible lady threw herself at him and, oh, how could I forget, one of his board members and most trusted advisors had tried to kill him. Twice. 

I set up the meeting for the day after tomorrow, fearing that the next day would be filled with an intense migraine, a common side-effect of driving past 2 A.M. trying to make it to California in the shortest time possible. I got up, placed my computer on the provided desk, plugged it in, and begrudgingly moved to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

The next day came, and for the second time this week, I'd been right in the type of way I loathe. When I got up, I could barely move, my muscles aching after spending the past few days stuck in my car, only taking a few long breaks to get some rest and about a half dozen times each day for food, drinks, and the restroom. Changing into something comfortable, I left my hotel room. The search for a decent coffee shop now beginning.

After about half an hour, I found a place that looked decent enough. I walked in, and it felt like all eyes were on me. The feel of burning gazes, the sudden urge to make myself as small as possible, and the waves of dread crashing down on me. My symptoms of anxiety. An all too familiar feeling. I looked up at the menu, order already in mind. 

 “Hi! I’ll get a hazelnut latte with almond milk if you have it. Oh, and it says on the menu that there’s a white chocolate scone. I’ll have one of those as well.”

 “Okay, an almond-hazel-latte with a white scone. Who’s it for?”

 “Uh, Kyrie.”

 “Okay, Kai. Someone’ll call when your order’s done.”

 “Okay, thank y-“

 “Please, go find a seat.”

I backed away awkwardly. Slightly raising my arms, hands up in thumbs up. I walked away, putting my arms down, looking for a table to work at.

To no surprise, most tables were empty. For those occupied, their occupants were dressed in semi-professional attire, almost definitely catching up before going to work; the separation between their lives and my own shifted into something all the more evident. 

After about ten minutes, a barista called for the fake name I had given them. I got up and grabbed my order.

I sat at a table away from the windows and took out my laptop. I opened my email, checking for any new correspondents, to see almost 200 new emails, over half of which were from Logan and the other teachers of Xaviers. I went to Logan's profile, blocked him, and used the search bar to delete his previous messages. I don't need to read the pity speech of someone who doesn't value me as even a human being.

I scrolled through and saw an email from Scott, an unusual occurrence for him. I clicked to open it but didn't get the chance to read it, the screech of someone pulling at the table's other chair making it exceptionally difficult.

“Why are you- why did you sit down?”

 “I’m hiding from my bodyguard who is very determined to stay aware of my whereabouts. Even if he thinks it’s me sitting with you. He won’t interrupt our conversation. So, what's a pretty thing like you doing in a place like this?" said a man with dark brown hair in an expensive-looking suit, "You're new around here aren't you?"

Great. Preppy, rich white guy hiding from his bodyguard, the horror. I laid my head on my hand and took a sip of my coffee.

 "And how would you know if I was? My attitude, my dress, perhaps an unusual drained look plastered on my face." A cheeky tone in my voice. It didn't matter if I was exhausted; this could be fun.

 "I was going to say your accent, but sure, let's go with one of those."

 "What do I get?" I took a bite of my scone. It wasn't as good as I had hoped but not far from what I had expected.

 "I'm sorry, pardon?" Moved his torso to face me.

 "What do I get if I don't rat you out?"

"You get a conversation with me, not something afforded to most." He leaned back.

The door rings. A bigger man in a suit with short, curly hair, a goatee, and sunglasses walks in. The man in front of me gives me a slightly urgent stare.

"I want a favor. Anything, anytime. Within reason, of course."

"Okay, fine; that works for me, just well, you know help." His voice was now a low whisper.

"Pleasure doing business with you," I say as I grab him by the tie, pulling him into a kiss. After a few seconds, I pull away slightly. I glanced around the room, my eyes landing on his supposed bodyguard. The man in question was looking the other way, an almost abashed look on his face.

"Wow, I was not expecting that."

"I'd recommend getting used to it, sweetheart."

His bodyguard took a final look around the room, figuring his client was somewhere else. Just as he entered he left, without a single word.

Hearing the door close he leaned back stretching almost, "So, what do you want? Money, political support, a fun time maybe. I mean with the kiss you gave me I would think the last of which."

"I'll pass. I just moved here, and I need a job. So, If my interview tomorrow goes to shit, your company or whatever you do is the backup now. Congrats!" My voice was now full of sarcasm. 

"Hand me your phone, now. Don't be shy." I opened and closed my hand repeatedly to affirm my statement. 

"Pushy, are we?" He sat up lightly and pulled out the latest iPhone. I should have expected that. I grabbed it and slid the lock screen open.

"Really? You don't have a password? Mr.," I paused with the new knowledge of who this man was, "Mr. Stark. Know what? I'll call in that favor right about now."

Cater Diamond

One of the many things Cater enjoyed was posting pictures of you on magicam. Eating, laughing, swimming, playing Video-games- it didn't matter. His Gallery was full of you and so was his profile on Magicam.

He didn’t know you could be so rough in a fight. You were always sweet and kind, even to the youngsters at the school. A lot of people looked up to you at NRC because of that. THough it was like skinning an onion when he found out the punches you could pull.

“Girls shouldn't eat as much as you do.” Someone had said, walking up to the table one day. “No one wants a fatty. You should get her under control.”

He was ten seconds away from jumping in and telling this guy off, until a loud Thwap!! Rang out across the lunchroom as you slapped the guy as hard as you could. You turned from milk to fireball in an instant.

And he was impressed.

The fight started in a matter of seconds after that, hair being grabbed, punches thrown, screaming, yelling. A crowd gathered as he attempted to pull you off the student that had a firm grip of your hair.

Blood dripped from your knuckles, and his nose was bent out of place when the fight was over. You had broken the kid's nose.

Cater gushed over you later while bandaging your raw knuckles. “That totally would’ve gone viral on Magicam! Where did you learn moves like that?”

Of course, you did get into trouble, as did the kid that picked on you, but everyone learned a valuable lesson that day.

Milk can sour very quickly.

Idia Shroud

What he doesn't have in guts you have in fists.

That was something he learned quickly in the relationship. You may be sweet and kind but you also had a side burning deeper than hell's fire in your heart. You were very quick to tell off people that picked at your boyfriend.

Likewise he also enjoyed how much you cared for Ortho as if he was already a little sibling. It was like being a natural born leader and guide was in your blood.

He didn’t know the extent of how far you would go in standing up for him until someone made a rude comment about him.

“Don’t talk to my boyfriend like that.” Quickly went to, “I’ll pop your fucking ballsack.” Very quickly.

He didn’t try to separate you from the fight as your fist collided with the guy's jaw, he only held Ortho back slightly in a state of shock as he watched the brawl. Idia gave a witty comment towards the student when they fled the scene with an already bruising jaw.

You had almost ran after the guy, but held yourself back and instead asked the two siblings if they were okay.

Ortho said he was going to scan your body for injuries, Idia was lowkey blushing. Congratulations you fried his brain.

His pride grew higher that day. He also asked you for pointers and was more so clingy with you for the next few weeks following the event of the fight.

He may have also hacked the school system and corrupted the video of you kicking the dude's ass so you wouldn’t get in trouble. Idia makes sure to go out of his way to give a sly look every time you stand up for him towards the person insulting him. He likes causing drama.

Leona Kingscholar

*Smirk*

Yeah that's pretty much it. Leona is more than aware that sweet isn't all there is to your personality before he even was in a relationship with you. He just got that vibe and knew he was correct.

When you threw the punch the other guy had it coming. He wasn't being lazy, though he did lay back with his arms crossed watching you beat the shit out of this guy for his bullshit comment.

Cue happy Lion man. Leona was rather amused at the fight but if it got out of hand- if you were getting hurt- he would break up the fight. And maybe throw a few punches of his own for good measure.

You both end up getting in trouble together, and he's the one that just drags you away without a care in the world to the teachers yelling at him to get back here.

On the bright side, it's nice having someone else to care dump Cheka off with, especially since you seem very good with children.

He does enjoy watching your motherly nature. He'd like to have cubs with you one day. He just won't admit it over his life. Ever.

So yeah, he's not really worried about you. In fact, he likes seeing you get feisty. Just not towards him. That's just annoying.

He has threatened to shove a fork up your pussy. When you two fight the dorm literally grabs popcorn. Who knows who'll win, after all. It's the best show to watch.

Epel Felmier

He's a bit too innocent to realize you have this side of you at first. While he knows he does have a fighting spirit, he'd never seen you remotely angry before, so he just assumed you were a peaceful gal.

Oh how wrong he was.

Expel is small and appears frail, and a lot of people exploit that weakness, not on your watch. One wrong comment happened and you'd shocked the guy in the face, who had immediately gone at you and all hell broke loose.

Rook couldn't help but be amused at the situation he was watching, but at the same time knew poor Epel would have the time of his life if Vil found out.

Epel's lips curled into a large smirk that showed off his pearly whites as he watched you tussle with someone until they had run off like a scared bitch.

"You're gon' havta teach me that!" He said, happily as ever. He was quick to wrap you up in an embrace, squeezing you against him.

You immediately hugged back, happy to be back in his arms. And you'd agreed. Rook's job of keeping Epel out of trouble just got a lot harder.

Epel was excited in a way to learn about this new side of yourself you'd shown off to him, it made him love you even more.

God did he love his girlfriend.

Vil Schoenheit

You were picture perfect and he loved it. You were sweet, reliable, soft, good with children. Honestly he absolutely loved you. He just didn't know about how quickly your temper could be set off until it did.

Someone had called your man ugly.

That's right. Ugly. And you weren't standing for it. Vil stood in shock whilst Rook covered his mouth with a coy laugh as your fist connected with the guys jaw. Vil swore he'd heard a crack. While he would argue greatly that he was prettiest of them all, he also knew people had opinions that sometimes couldn't be changed.

Watching you punch this guy with a fire more fierce than diablo's anus after a bad day was certainly something. Albeit it wasn't what he was expecting at all.

He was almost impressed.

Had he not been ashamed of your behavior first and foremost. Vil was quick to break up the fight and have Rook escort the kid to the nurse while he had a stern talking to you.

He spoke to you that day like you were a child getting scolded, and when you refused to relent that what you did was wrong, Vil ended up giving up, admiring your stubbornness of the subject. It was rather adorable hearing you say you'd smack the shot out of anyone that calls him names in front of his face.

He absolutely had fussed over your bloodied knuckles too. Vil was very quick to use everything he had to heal them to perfection so they wouldn't scar. Not a bruise should be left on your skin.

♡ How They Would Act As Your Sugar Mommy ♡

♡ The Kingdom Version ♡

♡ You'd been working in the lower sector of the building and struggling financially when a friend told you that they had a friend from one of the higher sectors was looking for a partner to accompany her to company parties. Of course she would pay for anything you needed to wear at the party and would financially compensate you. You weren't usually the type to do this but a little extra cash every once in awhile would go a long way so you agreed to meet her. ♡

♡ Miriel told herself that she could do this without falling in love with whoever she goes with, but the moment she meets you, that just falls out the window. You've never done this type of thing before, maybe there is something here, afterall why chose her when you could have gone and found a proper sugar mommy. Oh well, it doesn't matter now, she will be a proper sugar mommy if that is what her darling needs. ♡

♡ She starts out by just buying you the outfits you need for her parties, but it quickly devolves into her buying every single thing you want weekly. It gives her an excuse to take you out on dates after the shopping sprees. ♡

♡ Whoopsie, she called in a favor from the boss and your apartment manager is evicting you, don't ask too many questions. Anyways it looks like you have to move in with her, don't worry, she'll still spoil you and lavish you, but now she gets her money's worth. Afterall she gives you all of her money, can't she at least savor you? ♡

♡ All in all, I think if Miriel was your sugar mommy, it would make her much bolder and way more aggressive in trying to claim you. ♡

"Spin for me, babe." Miriel was watching you intently, for the past five hours as she forced you to try on outfit after outfit.

"Uhm, Miri?" You really just wanted to pick an outfit for the party already and then go home. Every time you asked her about it though she would just wave you off. Your feet were beginning to hurt from all the heels she wanted you to try on. The store clerks knew better than to look over though. There were too many possessive freaks in the city, could never be too careful.

She gives a small hum in response and she's already onto picking out another dress for you to try next.

"Have you gotten any closer to picking out an outfit yet?" You shuffle nervously, really hoping she wouldn't respond how you knew she was going to respond.

"What do you mean babe? I'm buying all of these." Yup, that was what you pretty much expected.

♡ You'd been working next to the demon for a few months as her assistant when she noticed that you were struggling financially. She already knew you were her mate and while she was satisfied to court you while you two worked together, this presented an even greater opportunity. ♡

♡ So what does she do? Obviously make sure you see lots of people talking about sugar dating for weeks until you decide that it might be a good idea for you and then create a profile on one of the sites, and obviously she keeps her profile vague because such a sweet thing like you would probably feel uncomfortable straight up dating your supervisor, so she has to make you fall for her profile first so she can ease you into it. ♡

♡ When you two finally agree to a shopping date, you are shocked to find your boss but the look in her eyes tells you that you can't break up with her that quickly, so you proceed with the date. Afterwards you try to ignore her because you're pretty sure this is an hr violation but she keeps sending you little gifts, ones that are somewhat vaguely threatening. ♡

♡ Did you know that there's a rule that if a demon disapproves of their mate working, and has the finances to support their mate, they can get them ousted from the job? Come on, be good and let Kassien spoil you, she wouldn't want to ruin your job but you're forcing her hand, she needs you to financially rely on her. ♡

♡ Once your little lovers tiff is over, she will be a pretty standard sugar mommy, lavishing you in gifts, forcing you to wear the expensive clothes and jewelry she buys you, burning your apartment down so now you need to move in with her, the classics. ♡

♡ Being your sugar mommy makes Kassien a tad more manipulative than she usually is. ♡

You jumped when you spotted your supervisor standing outside your apartment on your way to get a coffee. You'd sent back her gifts when you realized that your new sugar mommy was actually in charge of you at work. You hoped if you sent her gifts and requested a transfer, you could just put all of this behind you. Only to find out that not only would work not give you that transfer, but you were also fired. Anonymous complaint, you suspected it was her.

"You returned my necklace, Sweetness. I had that custom made for you, I might have to charge you for it if you don't just take it. It's not refundable because of the customization." She sounded calm but you knew that she could fly off the handle in seconds, after all you'd been working with her for a bit. Even on the one date you two went on, she blew up on a guy in the restaurant for walking a little bit too close to you.

"Ma'am-" She scoffed and rolled her eyes at you. You knew how much you were probably pissing her off by not calling her by her name, "K-kassien, I know I upset you but you didn't have to get me f-fired." The look on her face was starting to freak you out. Like the calm before the storm.

"No, I did have to get you fired, what I don't have to do is allow you to move in with me after you get evicted, so don't be such an ungrateful brat." She smiles as she walks up to you with the necklace with her initials on it, holding it out for you to put on like an obedient pet.

♡ Sawyer is the only one you would meet in a classically sugar mommy way. She knows you're her mate, so what's a ??? years old all knowing being to do except create a profile on the sugar dating site you're on. You've done this before but that's okay, she can kill all the previous ones. ♡

♡ Right off the bat she is much more generous than any of the sugar mommies you've had before and you nearly faint when you discover she's The Boss, like the actually fucking boss that runs the entire city. Still she's pretty enough and generous enough for you to overlook how actually terrifying this situation is. ♡

♡ She is extremely generous with you, I mean how could she not be, she literally has half the city under her thumb directly or indirectly. What's a sapphire necklace that costs more than a house, to someone who has been saving wealth their entire life in order to spoil their mate, you don't need to know that though, she likes you feeling like she's been inconvenienced to spoil you this much. ♡

♡ She expects you to spend time at her apartment whenever you're not working, she explains she has cameras in her apartment and so it would help her to work if she could look on them and see her cute thing dressed in something nice and expensive waiting for her at home. Weird but okay, you'll accept it. ♡

♡ It's only after the two of you wake up cuddling in bed that you decide you should cut it off before any feelings develop but baby, you're already in too deep, before you know it she's suing you for all of the things she's bought you. It's okay the lawsuit will end if you move back in, be her good sugar baby, and never fucking try to leave again. ♡

♡ Her as a sugar mommy is already close to how she is naturally, with a few minor changes and an official title. ♡

"The Boss has asked us to escort you up to her office." Two security guards approached you the moment you stormed into the office. You'd been served with notice of an impending lawsuit from The Boss, she never put her real name on any documents, and well that alone would make most in the city shit their fucking pants.

You knew you should have never taken on someone as powerful as her, no matter how good of a sugar mommy she seemed. It didn't matter how many fancy trips she took you on, or how many gems you had in your very expensive hand crafted jewelry box, she had the power to completely ruin you.

"A fucking lawsuit Sawyer?" She shushes you softly when you busrt into her office and dismisses the guards.

"I'm not sure why this is such a suprise darling. I make the rules in the city, and I never included a rule that said you were allowed to leave me."

You don't even know how to respond to her audacity.

"Come darling, we'll go to a nice restaurant and renegotiate your allowance."

My Hottest Fanfic: Luffy Doesn't Post Fanfiction for 3 Months and Gets Deported to Adopt Me 😈⛓️🔞🥵

It’s been three months since my last fanfic, and you haven’t been waiting for no reason.  😈⛓ They say to live life on the edge but this will make you finish at lightning speed ⚡💦🌊

Luffy yawned as he awoke at sea in his bedchamber. He stretched his limbs until he could feel the ceiling and then pulled himself out of bed. Last night he’d partied a bit too hard and crashed into his bed without changing into pajamas. There weren’t many options on the ship, so he decided to stick with the same clothes. He opened up the rugged wooden door to his room, but was shocked by a girl standing there. “Who the hell are you?!” he loudly shrieked. He heard a soft chuckle coming from Zoro at the other side of the ship.

“I’m whatever that girl’s name was from middle school. Like Alistair but I think I got that spelling wrong. I’m here to remind you that you haven’t posted a fanfiction in three months,” she said.

“But… I thought you’d forgotten about this whole joke profile. It’s not that big of a deal that I just haven’t posted in a while,” Luffy responded.

“It is that big of a fucking deal, you hear me?!”

“No.”

“If you’ve ever heard about the story of Arachne from Greek mythology you’ll know to not mess with those in higher power, or face consequences.”

“You’re literally just some girl that broke into the ship, how are you of higher power?”

“You know what? fuck you; you’re going to the world of Adopt Me. Say goodbye to your silly adventures!” she said in a joyous tone.

Luffy suddenly fell through the floorboards of the ship and almost immediately landed into a tiny home with nothing but a bed and a few boxes in front of him. He’d only taken a tiny fall. A small bird from inside the house fluttered around him and said—with a very high-pitched voice—”Welcome to Adopt Me!”

“What the fuck?! The tutorial is supposed to be a fucking textbox, not a bird! The only fucking birds in Adopt Me are those dumb little idiots that ask to eat food sometimes and beg to go to school every, like, 20 days; that is if they even have bird pets in this dumb world.”

The bird angrily replied, “If you’re gonna be such a bitch to me then you might as well just play this game without any tutorial.”

“I’ve always wanted to skip this fucking thing, so thank you very much,” he responded.

Luffy turned around and opened his door, revealing the outside world. He walked the road to the tunnel nearby, basking in the bright houses around him, and went through to the other side.

“Woah, I’m going to act like this is the best thing I’ve ever seen to make this story more epic,” he said to himself. “I want to compliment these buildings to add more words to the story to make it look cooler, but these buildings are fucking stupid. Like, a teacup for a tea shop? A giant slice of pizza as a pizza place? You even got a fucking car on top of the dealership!”

He walked his way to the main plaza directly in front of him surrounding the nursery and was met by screams of people constantly saying phrases along the lines of, “ABC to trust trade dream pet!” Luffy sighed at the repetitive and frankly stupid nature of their speech. He walked over to one that wasn’t yelling and tried to spark a conversation, hoping that someone was able to speak normally.

“Hey, what’s your name?” Luffy asked.

The man responded, “Hi, my name is Jake / DP FR Golden Penguin / Trade unwanted pets / Nice guy / Trying to get neon FR golden unicorn / neon maker / pet is NFT until fully grown / trade for free–”

Luffy cut him off by walking away in an attempt to not go insane from these nonsensical words. He walked inside of the nursery and walked to the section labeled ‘pets’. He was greeted by a dog in fancy clothing and thought, damn, dressing up for the French revolution, huh?

“Greetings, what mayhap bring thou on this fine evening?” the dog asked.

“Egg,” he simply replied.

“Ah, so thine quest is to find a pet, mayhap I interest thou in a starter egg?”

“Yeah.”

“Make sure thy take good care of thine new pet, for it contains thine companion for life, until you abandon it for a new one.” The dog then handed Luffy a giant egg.

Luffy walked back and out the door to the nursery, weaved through the crowd of braindead merchants, through the tunnel, and back home.

He opened the door to his home and went to the room to the front-right: the kitchen. He activated the burner and cracked his massive egg onto the pan, where it immediately started smoking. The heat was way too high and there was no oil in the pan. Luffy started coughing as his whole house quickly filled up with smoke, the sound of his smoke alarm only adding further chaos to the situation. The egg was stuck to the pan and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Zoro looked down into the hole Luffy had fallen throug—watching Luffy as some of the smoke escaped it—and said, “Gyatt damn, he can’t even fry an egg. Shit’s smoking like a black blunt. Dumbass bitch can’t even use a stove. Thought that gum-gum fruit only made him bad at swimming, not cooking. Hey, bitch, I think you forgot the salt. I’d love to start smoking you, but the egg is already doing that. My mom could cook better than that, and she’s dead! I don’t even care if that’s lore accurate, I just know that you being a dumbass is. I bet you tried to fry an egg with baby oil one time. I bet you think that baby oil came from babies. You can’t even operate a microwave without burning the food. When you try to boil pasta you light the water on fire. When you turn on an empty oven you burn the metal grates.”

A couple of times you have mentioned that you were surprised that JE and Olivia had lasted 2 years. Based on gossip sites over the last couple of years, is that they were off and on. More off because that is what he wanted. There were lots of sightings of him at events where he was really flirty or hitting on someone. My opinion and this is just my opinion, he is a clout chaser. I think he tried to find another higher profile girlfriend, but just could not. So his 'hook-up' is now a more serious girlfriend. Funny thing is no one really seems to care, as far as entertainment sites are concerned. On a side note, I never thought that he was really that in to Zendaya. I just did not think that her truly understood her, but once a again , just my opinion.

Oh I didn't know that they were off and on.

I usually don't follow them all that closely tbh, but thnx for this insight that they've been off and on. Didn't know that.

There were lots of sightings of him at events where he was really flirty or hitting on someone.

I wouldn't be surprised.... He was doing that stuff while he was dating Z too. 😒 I always gave him the side eye for that. It was embarrassing! I know for a FACT that he was being flirty with Kaia while he was dating Zendaya.🙁 There's actual footage and evidence that I've posted on my blog. That's why many of us in the fandom weren't even shocked at all when he and Kaia were spotted together for the first time in Sept back when he finally flew back to LA from Australia for the first time since covid. 🙄

My opinion and this is just my opinion, he is a clout chaser. I think he tried to find another higher profile girlfriend, but just could not. So his 'hook-up' is now a more serious girlfriend.

I've heard a lot of ppl say that.

Funny thing is no one really seems to care, as far as entertainment sites are concerned.

They're not really all that interesting tbh. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I think he's gonna need a really big role, or one that endears him to more people for the media (or even the general public) to really care about his rlshps like that. When he was with Kaia, he got spotted all the time... but she has ppl papping her just for breathing rofl, so it's no surprise that any guy who dates her is gonna get papped a lot while with her. 🤭

On a side note, I never thought that he was really that in to Zendaya. I just did not think that her truly understood her, but once a again , just my opinion.

This was actually one of my biggest reasons why I didn't like him!! 🤨

This is THEE Zendaya you're dating. You're lucky she's even giving you the time of day when she just broke up with her super-famous millionaire boyfriend Tom. Rofl 🤣 JE was a HUGE step down for her... just in terms of stats imo lol 😆

He just always seemed checked out or going through the motions when he was dating Zendaya. Kaia seemed more his speed no offense. Their rlshp was off too (don't get me wrong), but at least I saw more pics of them being like a normal couple lol.

I'm like, how can you go from Tom Holland (who was so in love with you) to this dude who doesn't even have the decency to look up from his phone when he's with you most of the time? 🥴

Even the pics where she's laughing in NYC... She's like: 🤣😂

And He's like: 😐

It just seemed ODD to me 🥴 Their energy was so off to me. And he looked pissed off most of the time.

Everything about their rlshp seemed off to me. I'm sure he and Z had lots in common, but I never got "warm", "romantic" vibes from them at all. 🥴 It was just strange girl lol. 😅

I'm sure they had fun together and stuff, and maybe at one point Z thought she loved him lol, but they were definitely BOTH rebounding with each other, so it wasn't gonna last. Not when you have so much unfinished business with your ex. Jmho 🤷🏾‍♀️

Because I trust your judgement, how would Namor and Ororo's first meet go? I'm becoming increasingly invested in the possibilities of these two because we have a fine ass Namor and it's ORORO. I'm not sure if it would canon-compliant considering we still don't have 'Ro in the MCU, but like in your mind, how would it go?

Honestly, there are so many avenues it could go and I'll be honest I'm conflicted on how I'd actually want it.

(Mind you: I fully realize that this could seem creepy but Namor's reasons for coming out of the sea are pretty rare. So. It doesn't foster a typical meet-cute. Also sorry that this took so long to answer but also that it's not even done lmaoo.)

Option 1:

Namor catches a glimpse of her while training, She's sky-riding just letting loose and having fun. Perhaps she's on vacation?) and he's mesmerized because when has the surface world ever produced something so beautiful? Never, so then she must be divinely made. A logical deduction tbh.

He hears her relaxed melodic laughter and is CHARMED. He keeps a low profile because he doesn't want to be found out but also because he doesn't want to disturb her and also a little bewildered because no surface dwellers have flown without some sort of device in all his years.

He leaves Ororo feeling a little enchanted but sends scouts out just to be sure she isn't a possible threat. He is a leader after all.

They find nothing.

Then it's MONTHS until he sees her again and the only reason why he sees her is that a part of the ocean is being disturbed. Underwater twisters are getting a bit too close to Talokan and he needs to figure out why it's happening and put an end to it. He notices that twisters aren't being caused by the currents but from above.

So he ventures out of the ocean and sees that the sky is in chaos. Something in him tells him not to write this off. That a storm like this isn't natural. So he again ventures higher and ends up seeing Ororo.

Ororo is clearly distraught over something despite all the rain he can see the pain in her eyes and posture.

She was making this happen?

He slowly ventures towards her. He makes his presence known.

it takes her a minute to notice him but when she does the shock of seeing someone else in the air unaided by machinery snaps her out of sadness and puts her in defensive mode.

He does his best to tell her that he means no harm but it isn't until he shouts, " GODDESS, MY PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER!"

That she relents. She looks down and sees figures staring up and she's appalled. She does her best to calm herself down, and soon enough the skies clear and the only sound is the water below.

Then it's just them. Staring eye to eye

The moon was their backdrop. Her hair glowed from the light of the moon. Her eyes finally revealed a blue only captured after an intense storm. Skin shining like precious jewels. In all his years no one has made him so speechless.

She's the one to break eye contact. She gets skittish, clearly remorseful. He sees the shame envelope her. He isn't mad, more so worried. Not of the power, that this being possessed but of the cause of the unleashing.

What has caused a goddess such distress?

"I-I am...so sorry! I came here because I thought- Well, clearly I was mistaken." Quickly wiping her face, " Please, was anyone hurt?"

He tells her no. He watches her as her body relaxes, her eyes shining with tears once more but her mouth turns upwards into a grateful smile.

" Thank you, Bright Lady...and you, you've stopped me from making a tragic mistake." She whispers as she cups the front of her face with her hands. " Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

There was silence again before Ororo finally collected herself and looked directly at him.

He feels his heart beginning to race, and his mouth becomes dry leaving him unable to speak. She looks at him with wonder and warmth.

"The world is filled with such wonders. A people that live under the sea without detection...? Do not worry I will not tell a soul. Again, please forgive my disturbance. Goodbye."

She's about to fly off when he finally finds his voice.

" My name is Kukuklan." He did not tell of his other name, for he never wanted to be her enemy. "....and your name Goddess?"

He sees her become a little shy, which he finds endearing, but she answers the question that has been plaguing him for months.

"Ororo, but I'm no Goddess I'm afraid."

The name suits her perfectly, he thinks.

" Well In my humble estimation, no human could hold such power or even be worthy of such a gift. So I'm afraid...the title will have to stand. "

She smiles at him, shaking her head. " You're too kind. I've made such a poor and disastrous introduction and yet you compliment me. I should go."

" As I've said no harm was done, but if you really must go...I only hope your heart is now lighter than it was before, Goddess."

" Thank you." She takes the sincerity in his words for what they are. Trying to swallow down the embarrassment of being caught in a such vulnerable state. "If we meet again, I hope it is under much better circumstances. Goodbye."

She finally flies off and leaves the God King to his own thoughts.

By the next morning, another mural is added to his wall.

[twelvedaysinaugust]

I think most people acknowledge that Harry wants a certain type of career. But as time goes on, I'm beginning to think he really wants it. /

I completely agree with this. Tbh I think both Harry and Louis are much more ambitious and have more of a drive to have certain kinds of careers than people acknowledge. But at the same time, I don't see how instigating Hendall rumors actually helps with that. So I wind up unsure if maybe Harry has other goals that these actions are serving that we don't know, or if it is about trying to get a certain type of career and my thoughts are basically that I think these actions don't serve that goal.

I mean, while the Kardashians will always be rich and famous, in terms of the cultural zeitgeist, I think they're currently going downhill. People just don't really like them anymore, and not in a hate them because they're everywhere way. I'd argue Harry's profile is much higher than Kendall's now, so if anything he's raising her profile. People have also recently been much more vocal about criticising the people Harry spends time with, like James Corden, and I often hear Kendall included in those conversations. So it just doesn't seem like a good look for Harry all around.

And if it's about raising his profile, I just don't see how it's necessary to use PR relationships/speculation to do that. I know it's kind of a tired and unpopular comparison at this point, but... if you want that particular kind of pop career, it's impossible not to look at Taylor Swift. She just released a dominant pop album at age 32, her TENTH. She also says she prefers (as we've heard Harry say he prefers) a quiet private life. And she largely gets it. You can argue about her lyrics, but she keeps herself in the public eye when she wants to be, and she does it mostly through things that aren't her relationship - she shows up to award shows, she does interviews or Q&As (she's basically doing a one-woman Oscar push for the ATW short film). Harry has won awards at all of these shows too, but he's not going to them, and he's not even really engaging with them in a meaningful way. It just seems like there's clearly another way, even if it's maybe somewhat harder. So, at least for me, I'm left unsure if Harry just says these things about a private life/disliking his image but doesn't actually mean them, or if he wants those things but on a larger level doesn't have the power to push for them/is outvoted (still thinking about Anne sharing that weird My Policeman article...). I don't have an answer but I do find it frustrating.

I think the Kendall thing was - at most - a way to drum up interest before the next Pleasing drop. I’d be very surprised if anything comes of it. In the grand scheme of things, I don’t think it matters very much.

I think the womanizer image has ebbed and flowed, but Harry’s team and Harry himself lean into it - sometimes very heavily. My personal opinion as to “why” is just that it’s easy, effective, and it sells really well. Sometimes I just think there’s not an equally effective alternative, in the sense that other options might require a lot more effort on the part of Harry or his team or would require Harry to do things that he’s unable or unwilling to do. With the Kendall thing, all that happened was that she attended one of his shows (with other people in tow) and then it was announced that she’d broken up with her boyfriend shortly after. People drew a bunch of conclusions and wrote some intriguing headlines, but it required very little effort or involvement on Harry’s part. Privately, I also wonder if all these things are necessary (including things like the “Late Night Talking” music video and comments on stage about “Watermelon Sugar” being about oral sex). But that’s my vantage point. I do think he uses gossip and shock value to protect his personal life and privacy.

I am not opening the floor to speculation on this topic, but I do think Harry’s next relationship and what it looks like will be telling. But I don’t think that will happen for a while (if it happens at all) because ending a two year relationship and jumping straight into another would be an interesting look.

Also, Barbie has nothing to do with the release of Haunted Mansion (to an extent) like more than likely other studios didn't think Barbie was going to be the juggernaut hit that it has been.

A budget comparison:

Barbie: $128–145 million

Haunted Mansions budget is: $150 million

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning: $291 million

Fast X: $340 million

Super Mario Bros: $100 million

Indiana Jones: Dial of Destiny

The Meg 2: $130 million

Transformers Rise of the Beasts: $195–200 million

Spiderman: Across the Spider-Verse: $100 million

Out of all these listed films that came out in what's considered "blockbuster season" Super Mario, Spider-Verse, The Meg 2, and Barbie are the only ones that have really turned profit. Indiana Jones, and Mission Impossible are really struggling to make profit, and Fast X is going to only eek out a profit. There's a larger conversation here about bloated film budgets and how it's harming the film industry but the thing I want to point out in regards to Barbie is it's on the lower end of the budget tier.

It's made three times the amount of Indiana Jones, Fast X, and Mission Impossible but it doesn't have their budgets. My point here is Barbie was what Warner Bros probably considered "a high risk project" which is why it has a lower budget than Nolan's last film Tenet ($205 million). Barbie's success is actually pretty shocking to the men in charge rn lol Which is why Mattel is getting the wrong lessons from Barbie's success and making a Polly Pocket movie cause, sure.

Haunted Mansion was tracking poorly for a while in ticket sales, so Disney didn't see the point in marketing it. A summer release for a spooky season movie is not a terrible idea tbh, spooky season is starting earlier and earlier (retail is already selling Halloween stuff, you don't actually wanna release your Halloween film during October you'll cut it's success off at the knees). Disney was probably hoping for higher returns on Haunted Mansion but also they needed another high profile film for the blockbuster season and this was the best they had.

Little Mermaid kicked off their blockbuster slate, Guardians continued it, Haunted Mansion was probably meant to round out the season going into November for the holiday releases (The Marvels comes out in November). But Disney is going through a deep flux right now b/c they're seeing less ROI with their Marvel films, and they've yet to find a film footing with Star Wars (the current CEO was the one who brokered those acquisitions of Star Wars and Marvel). Of which the goal for those films (and TV shows) isn't to sell tickets so much as sell merchandise (why do you think there's a Funko Pop for Star Wars Background Char 4.5 every film release?) and sell interest in their parks where they make a majority of their money.

Either way, Disney is greedy and I pray they don't sell or merge with Apple dear lord, and I'm glad VFX artists have begun unionizing

disney when they spend exactly $2 promoting their new movie and release it during a busy weekend and then it flops

[POSITION, OBJECTIVES]

A member of "Homura". Identified as a captain of the first class. Number 3 in combat strength.

A young man who loves "Homura" and loves his friends.

He is one of the main members, except for Suoh, Kusanagi, and Totsuka, who are the first members. Instead of Suoh, the lord who doesn't move much, Kusanagi, who often sticks to the role of staff, and Totsuka who is a non-combatant, in case of a difficult situation, he often takes the initiative and fights violently.

His fighting ability is high and reliable, but the troublesome side is also great, and when he causes trouble, Kusanagi gets angry. However, after Suoh and Totsuka died and Anna became "King", he became a little stronger than before as an executive of "Homura", supporting Kusanagi.

He was a close friend of Fushimi from "Scepter 4", and has a close relationship. When Fushimi was a member of "Homura", he was considered to be a combination of Yata and Fushimi, even in Shizume society.

Overwhelmed by Suoh's death and "Homura's" breakdown, he later rallied and supported Anna in a completely different way than Suoh's, and his sense of companionship was excessive and depended on "Homura". Yata will be able to think from a larger perspective without being paralyzed by the form of a "team" or "partner", even though the passionate aspect of him remains the same.

He was only looking at Fushimi through the "filter of the organization I belong to" or "traitor", but he re-evaluated Fushimi as an individual who got rid of him and confirmed that they were different from each other. A new bond was formed after doing that.

[ABILITIES, TACTICS]

He blowing flames from the steering wheel, accelerating, climbing walls and exploding under his feet to carry out an aerial battle. He attacks with weapons like bat metal and fire. His ability is great and powerful.

[POWER]

B (Along with Kusanagi in “Homura”. Fushimi and his combat power antagonize, but Fushimi is slightly advantageous due to the use of two power colors.).

Friends. He likes to do something with someone (be it good or bad). He hates cowardice, but not necessarily justice.

[DISLIKE]

Be alone in silence. Treachery.

[HOBBIES]

Physical activity (what you can do close to where you are, not go to the gym).

He likes games in general, but in particular he likes those that use physical ability and reflexes (case games, rhythm games, shooting, racing, etc.).

In high school, he often played competitive games with Fushimi. Compared to Yata, who operates only on reflexes, Fushimi, who controls reflexes and strategy, has a higher win rate.

[FASHION]

Mostly casual, street style. The beautiful and rigid clothes are brilliant. He also believes that it does not suit him.

[BODY]

Small and light. A healthy complexion. The physical capacity is very high.

[INTELLIGENCE]

Studying is disappointing. Since he has quick power, he may have been miraculous when he infiltrated during the night. His intuition is good.

[BELIEFS]

Act as soon as you think about it. The companions first.

[RELATIONSHIPS]

[EARLY YEARS]

Raised in Shizume until childhood. A common home. Having a mother and child family, he had the spirit to protect his mother from an early age. Kamamoto is a younger brother. He left Shizume after his mother's remarriage. The marriage partner is an ordinary office worker but a good person. A younger brother and a younger sister are born between the mother and her marriage partner. Yata, who originally hates being mistreated, begins to feel a sense of alienation at home.

He met Fushimi in middle school and became a close friend. After graduating from middle school, he went to "Homura" with Fushimi without going to high school. After that, he lived in an apartment in Shizume without receiving the support of his parents. He has a part time job.

[TIMELINE]

· 2009, Yata joins “Homura” with Fushimi.

· 2010, Fall, Fushimi leaves "Homura" and moves to "Scepter 4"

[ATTITUDE AND THOUGHTS TOWARDS OTHERS]

[TERMS OF THE ADDRESS FOR HIMSELF]

The first person is "Ore".

A vigorous way of speaking.

[TOWARDS SUOH MIKOTO]

He calls him "Mikoto-san".

No matter what Suoh does (even if it's natural), he thinks everything is great. Unsurprisingly, when he is passionate he goes too far.

[TOWARDS FUSHIMI SARUHIKO]

He calls him "Saruhiko" and "Monkey (when he's joking or angry)".

Fushimi was recognized as a traitor when he called him "Monkey", and "Saruhiko" when he was scary and serious.

He was angry at Fushimi's betrayal, but he was shocked because he believed in Fushimi. Depending on the circumstances, he could forgive Fushimi, and if Fushimi were willing to return to "Homura", they would bow to Suoh together. For Yata, it was considerable preparation to appeal directly to Suoh, as he was very frustrated.

[TOWARDS KUSANAGI IZUMO & TOTSUKA TATARA]

He calls them: "Kusanagi-san" and "Totsuka-san".

The two do not go up. Since proper honorifics cannot be used, honorifics and misleading words get mixed up.

[TOWARDS ANNA KUSHINA]

He calls her "Anna".

Anna's "child" side feels the same level of empathy and is easily touched, but the "girl" side is disappointed. He would like Anna to stop calling him "Misaki" if she could, but since she is Anna, he forgave her.

[TOWARDS RIKIO KAMAMOTO]

He calls him "Kamamoto".

Kamamoto is older and joined "Homura" before, but since he is a younger brother and his ability is stronger, Yata turns him into simply Kamamoto. The reason why Yata, who is younger in age, ends up calling himself "Yata-san" in "Homura", is because Kamamoto is under his spell.

[bgezal]

What’s the backstory with the one with purple hair and wings?

ill refer to them through this post as "angel". backstory is an interesting word because according to doctrine they sprang fully formed from the corpse of their predecessor and spent all living days since that time being honed. they don't remember their early days very well so they agree with what they're told. at some point it stops mattering. but yes, the angel's whole idea is that they are heaven's holy weapon. definitionally, they respect those higher than them, those that came before, and do heaven's bidding against heathens without a hint of vengeance or rage. the all-powerful child, the savior of all lying between earth and heaven.

i'm trying to use a particular manic tone there because of the specific fervor that heaven presents to them, the kind of messages they've heard for as long as they can remember. their purpose is heaven's purpose. their life is heaven's life. whatever individual quirks they had or have are about as important as the color of the grip on a longsword. they are important and loved and praised specifically as an exemplary tool. and they are a normal child. they need that recognition, no matter what it requires from them. they're strong, and brave. they can do it.

their profile mentions the story being ponyo-esque, to me this means that they find another child who convinces them to transition between worlds. earth was completely new to them when they met their friend.

^dumps gratuitous sketch ive had lying around. this would be their first meeting. i wanted them both to experience severe culture shock. this one's first exposure to the results of heaven's doctrine was seeing a kid their age try to block something while flying 50 feet in the air and fall like a comet. the angel's first exposure to earth is someone who doesn't see them as the solution to everything, but someone that needs helping themself. who might not respect the same people they respect.

i think this technically is heading outside the realm of backstory, since the comic (if i ever make it) would start around this point.

part of the relation to the conduit (also mentioned on the page though i forget in how much detail) is that their masters are enemies of heaven and the conduit is an enemy because they have sought power they are undeserving of (were not granted by heaven.) i believe the two would have clashed before the beginning of the story, though the conduit would have been still completely apathetic to them at that time.

[askbloatedbellyblog]

hellooo... i know you didn't ask for a3 prompts for the short stories thing, but I Cant Stop Thinking About Juza and the concept of banri deciding to test if he even HAS a limit, just for shits and giggles, just kinda not-so-discreetely giving him various sweets and pastries throughout the day, only to discover that apparently the boy just doesn't know when to stop as long as the food is sweet so juza ends the day groaning and overstuffed and banri doesn't know WHY he's finding it so mesmerizing

(this won’t be like a full story which is probably what you were wanting but still a nice idea to run with and I thought I’d use it still sort of as a prompt since I have been wanting to do more with the A3 boys like all of them and I do very much want to feed Banri too but this might help get the creative juices flowing a little bit.)

A massive belch rang out from the front room of the Mankai Company dorms, followed by some grunts and....was that a hiccup? Banri Settsu asked himself those very questions when he heard the noise, though considering his day, he suspected he knew the answer. 

“Oi! What was that noise? It sounded like dinosaur burped or a small earthquake based in our dorms,” he said in an annoyed tone as he turned the corner to enter the room. He was greeted by Juza Hyodo on the couch licking his fingers free of frosting, while the rest of him was what stood out of place. 

Juza sat with his usual attire; jacket, white t-shirt, and jeans. Just has he had been earlier in the day when Banri had seen him but now in a much different state. His pants were unbuttoned, with the fly spread wide. The formerly fitting belt was undone and hanging loosely at the side of the jeans with the buckle occasionally clanking as it dangled and moved along with Juza sometimes hitting bare flesh. The pants had been forced wide by Juza’s bloated stomach that also pushed up his shirt up near to the top of his chest. His abs were bloated out with some of the definition still there, making it very apparent that the purple haired actor was thoroughly stuffed. It jutted out from his frame like a mix of someone pregnant or one of those competitive eaters that Banri had seen on TV. 

“Holy shit...” was all that Banri could say in response as Juza let out a hiccup and winced, rubbing his stomach while picking up another donut as he leaned forward. Banri shouldn’t really have been surprised. He had been feeding Juza throughout the day, giving him baked goods and candies of bigger and bigger portions to see just how much his rival would consume. A box of mochi here, a container of dango there, a cake that might have fed the entire Mankai Company, and so on.

Banri had ulterior motives for supplying the bevy of desserts to his rival. First, it would help Banri know what Juza’s limits were especially if he was going to have to attempt to beat him in a similar state. One way to have Super Easy Mode was to know what you were getting into. Second, it would help slow him down if he felt like that it was a good time to attack his rival. Third, was just to see him get sick so he could give him a big “I told you that damn tongue of yours was broken.” after it was done. The growing sense of foreboding seemed to point that all three of those were not going as planned. 

“Urrrppp.....what. What the hell do you want?” Juza asked as he finished a donut and sipped at a gallon of milk that he seemed to have brought over for his binge that was mostly empty. He glared at Banri, thinking he was wanting to start something and wasn’t happy about being interrupted. 

“Dude, are you okay?” Banri asked as he looked around at the numerous empty containers of donuts and treats that can been collected then discarded around the couch. The fox eyed actor made a mental note “My god he’s nearly done with that huge donut delivery I placed for him...” 

“It’s fine...” Juza said dismissively while his belly let out a deep gurgle of distress. “You look like you’re about to pop,” Banri added while still focusing his attention to Juza’s firm and rounded middle. “So? Am I not allowed to indulge?” Juza asked like he was certain Banri was about to start a fight. Juza shifted like he was about ready to take on a challenge, stiffening like he had to be ready to pounce for a fight. Instead all it did was cramp his stomach a bit and force him to forcefully hiccup. The packed stomach lurched higher, bringing the t-shirt with it and making it rest higher on the curve of said stomach, before the flesh ball was forced back down, resting again in the middle of the undone pants. Juza groaned loudly at the angry and shifted organ and took another drink of milk to try to settle it. He huffed a bit and took another donut. “I’m almost...hurk...done.” 

Banri sat mesmerized, unable to turn away from the sight before him. “Why is this kind of hot...” he cursed himself and cursed himself again as the thought crossed his mind on both himself ending up in such a tremendous state and perhaps he and Juza ending up in the same state at the same time...testing their bellies together. He shook his head to try to get the thoughts out of his head, his long locks shifting in front of his face like a model, but when the hair stopped and he was left to look at the profile of Juza’s bloated gut in front of him, the thoughts returned to him full force. 

“Well shit. I guess acting isn’t the only new discovery about myself I’m making here,” he said to himself. Banri leaned over and picked up a donut. “Open wide idiot. We’ll make sure you finish all these desserts and see how much you can keep down.”

Juza looked a little shocked but opened his mouth for the next dessert, chewing a bit before replying softly, “Osu.” 

Banri used a finger and swiped up some of the leftover frosting from the current donut box. “Then next time, you can help me attempt the same thing. Don’t think I’m going to let you win on this one either,” Banri added then licked the frosting from the finger. 

Juza smirked back at him and replied again, “Osu.”

Mizi's character is such a tragic and ironic thing.

In a universe where most of humanity lives in misery, Mizi's joy (or, former joy) stands out. she's the light at the end of the tunnel for several characters in the story, and consistently makes an impact on everyone.

unlike every other alnst character, mizi's guardian was very loving towards her. she was showered with gifts and affection from her owners, causing her to view them in a nearly familial way. despite this, she and her guardian could never truly understand each other. humans have a much shorter lifespan than most segyein, so whether or not they live very long doesn't make that much of a difference for the aliens. shine wanted mizi to live her short life doing what she loved, and that was singing, so she entered her into alnst. mizi didn't quite understand the concept of death due to how the segyein tend to romanticize it towards humans, and willingly joined alnst with no idea of what she was getting into.

unfortunately, mizi's guardian doesn't have any other pets, and she lives in "a deep sea planet," so mizi wasn't exposed to that much human interaction. she was happy, of course, but very lonely.

it's possible that sua was the first fellow human that she'd seen up close. mizi locked eyes on her and was immediately entranced by her beauty. when she found her in anakt she spent all her time with her, loved her like no one else. to mizi (and probably to sua, too) it was familiarity at first sight. it's like they saw each other for the first time and went "oh, hi. it's you. it's going to be you."

another thing that also likely came with mizi's isolation is the need to be accepted by her peers. she's a genuinely happy person, yes, but she definitely puts in a lot of effort to be kind and like-able. her artbook profile reveals that she's "sometimes reluctant to show her honest self to others, and impresses them with sincere words first." she'd rather be kind so she knows that she isn't hated by the other students at Anakt Garden. I don't blame her tbh, if the only time I ever interacted with people was at a singing school, I wouldn't want to make any enemies there either.

so she's nice to everyone, builds up this reputation as a cheerful and bubbly girl, all while her love for sua only grows throughout the years. Sua could definitely understand her more than Shine could, and as the first human being that was dear to her, she begins to cling to her more and more, putting her on a higher pedestal with each passing moment they spend together.

mizi doesn't know how gruesome death really is or the extent of segyein cruelty, so she's considerably more innocent than many other students in anakt. Sua, who finds solace in her lack of awareness, never sees it fit to change that. that's not to say that there weren't any signs, though. of course, whispers would spread among the students, or some segyein may fail to cover up their mistreatment of their human, or something similar. it's impossible for mizi to live her entire life in naivety--unless she's subconsciously blocking out the bad parts of the world.

it's not that something like that's her fault, though. everyone needs to cope when they're in a bad situation, even those who have it "easier" than others. mizi did so by looking on the bright side, utterly disregarding the darker parts of her world. and oh, how it backfired.

sua's avoidance of the truth, shine's misunderstandings, and mizi's subconscious ignorance left her utterly unprepared for the reality of alien stage. what was meant to be the best day of her life so quickly turned into the worst. in a split second, not only had mizi's innocence shattered, but so had her only way of life. her god, her sua, gone, and she is plunged into total darkness for the first time.

it's only natural that she'd be in shock all the way up to round 5, and it makes more sense that she'd have her breakdown as well once she's provoked. iirc it was confirmed on the patreon that what luka did infuriated her, but in actuality she was less angry at him and more overwhelmed, raging at the system that they were in. the sudden realization that the whole world was never what she thought it was and that sua had known this without telling her a thing... naturally it would hit her hard.

she's rescued by the resistance, and then promptly given another shock. not only do humans exist outside of captivity, but they're just as angry about the oppression as she is and they actually have the power to do something about it. it's there that mizi learns to bare her teeth and finally strengthen herself, not exactly overcoming her shock and grief but utilizing it, letting it push her forward rather than block her path (symbolized by her hair getting cut). she finally has something to fight for.

except. she keeps losing. her one attempt to save somebody from the vicious fate of alnst backfired, and she's lost all of her cherished childhood friends. she's alone again, but this time there's nowhere to return to where she'll be greeted by familiar smiling faces, because she'll never see those smiles again.

as if that wasn't already enough, mizi was recaptured just as she had gotten used to being free, forced back into an all-consuming powerlessness where all of her struggles will be in vain.

opinion formulated: i love her to DEATH hang in there ml please 🙏🏽

Dear Alien Stage fan, your trial is to form a complete opinion of Mizi without mentioning the words "Till" "Ivan" or "sad lesbian". Should you fail to meet the requirements, an anvil will be dropped on your head. Good luck

Dreamwatch: NIGHTFLARE (Match 6)

Dreamfall Championship Match: Miguel Luis vs EIJI (Click here to watch!)

This match was fascinating even before it began, as EIJI is one of the higher profile Jr Heavyweight wrestlers on the roster (he had the SWA Jr Heavyweight title before this one was made) but you could argue that momentum isn't on his side. Overkill has been different as of late. They haven't been the vicious killers that they made themselves out to be on earlier shows, and their ability to gain momentum as of late has been middling. You could argue that Overkill is going downhill, whereas Miguel Luis and the rest of Vicio with their new allies from Stun Gun have been on a hot streak as of late, getting the most amount of attention on them with either stellar performances or dominating ones. its undeniable that Miguel Luis' group recently has left more of a mark on the shows. Miguel Luis has not had that big win in this environment though, but EIJI has. EIJI is the one that knows what it takes to succeed in this envrionment, and this may give him the cutting edge in this match. Either way, this match was going to be a good one!

And a good one it was! This match was fascinating and incredible in all of the right ways. Initially, EIJI took control of the match with his superior striking game, managing to wear down Luis with a series of kicks (and even a low blow) and hitting a muscle buster early in the match to give himself a pretty decisive lead. Luis was not one to give up, and was more than willing to fight back, though. Luis did his best to keep himself in the fight and did so with shocking effectiveness, landing big moves like a Miracle Ecstasy, Dragon Sleeper, Moonsaults. This culminated with a Go 2 Sleep followed by a Standing Moonsault that gave Luis an achingly close near-fall. He followed this up with another Go 2 Sleep and another Moonsault and this time he didn't get the pin because Mitsuru Takahashi distracted the referee! The last time we saw him he helped EIJI gain a win of Eikichi Kurusu, and his help here really helped get the match back into EIJI's favor when it seemed like he was going to lose it. This did not stop Luis, though, as the two fought it out, throwing everything at the wall, and Luis managed to get the upperhand again, almost pinning EIJI before Takahashi stopped the ref from counting a second time! From that point on, EIJI wrestled more control away, with the final bit of the match being mostly EIJI landing stiff strikes and brutal suplexes to make sure that Luis was 100% out of the match before getting the victory with his Air Raid Crash. A great match, a somewhat Heartbreaking match, but EIJI is the Dreamfall Champion.

After the match, EIJI asked for the microphone to deliver a message. He tells us that This was the crowning match for the first ever Dreamfall Champion, a Jr Heavyweight belt. EIJI is one of the most successful wrestlers on this roster, and has won a previous belt in this company. Despite this, this historic title match isn't anywhere near the main event. What kind of precedent is Dreamwatch setting for this belt? EIJI says the reason this happened is clear: This is a Jr Heavyweight belt, and Jr Heavyweights are devalued. Jr Heavyweights are a side attraction, but not face of the company material. EIJI is disgusted by this, and is tired of being considered the best in a division that matters less. Now that he has the Jr Heavyweight belt, as its champion, EIJI declares that he will dissolve the Jr Heavyweight division! This comes as a huge shock, with an audible gasp being heard throughout the Spike Dome. He will kill this division, and make the Dreamfall title into an Openweight belt. He cannot be contained to a minor league, his bloodied footprints will stand at the top of Dreamwatch because he IS! FUCKING! DREAMWATCH! EIJI throws the mic down, walking away with Mitsuru Takahashi.

In the back, EIJI says he doesn't have much more to say after what he said out there. He's serious about what he's said. He's tired of divisions. He's tired of picking people apart in the midcard. He wants to hunt the biggest game, and make himself the biggest target. But the first target he needs to take out is the label put on him. When asked about his opinion of Miguel Luis EIJI says that Luis is stubborn. Better than you think he is, but not actually as good as he thinks he is, and most importantly, not as good as EIJI is. When asked what he will say to the Jrs that want to keep the division around, EIJI says he doesn't care about the rest of them, they'll sink or swim. EIJI doesn't want to represent them. EIJI's ideals are the only ones that matter to him, and if anyone else wants to challenge that, they can step in the ring and get painted red. Mitsuru Takahashi chuckles at this. When asked about the assistance he got from Mitsuru Takahashi, EIJI said that all wrestlers receive assistance, whether it be a training partner, or a financial incentive to work harder, or the "energy of the fans" its all the same in the end. EIJI is tired of being interrogated, so he decides to leave before he gets fined for beating up reporters. He and Takahashi depart.

Miguel Luis makes his way to the back, sitting down with his head in his hands. He breathes heavily, saying that once again, he almost won an important match. That seems to be all he's good for at the moment, almost winning. He feels like more people are taking notice of him, which means he's probably doing the right thing, but losing hurts and it sucks and he lost a bit of the spotlight as a result tonight. When asked about EIJI saying that he wants to disband the division, Miguel responds by saying he wasn't paying attention to what EIJI said, really. Miguel feels like EIJI wants to disband the division because EIJI feels to much pressure fighting the other Jrs that EIJI can't actually beat without that old guy helping him. As for what he feels about it... He doesn't really know. He's used to weight classes in pro wrestling, so he doesn't see the big deal with having them. He's interrupted by the appearance of Sergio Perez who loudly exclaims that he knew Luis would lose. They get into some light-hearted bickering, with Luis saying that he only lost because he didn't have any back up like EIJI did, staring at Sergio Perez. Perez claims that he was tired after his match. He fought four people! Luis responds that Sergio didn't do that much work he just picked up the win over some loser in a shitty match. Sergio says at least he actually won his match, he expected that Luis would win easy! Luis ignores the back-handed compliment, and the two walk off, continuing their bickering as they exit.

Imagine this crossover

Connor and Murphy MacManus have been tracking this motherfucker for weeks. A hot shot businessman to the public, but known in the criminal underground as a ruthless Mafia don. They plan their hit, they've got their guns and their rosaries (and Connor's stupid rope), and they're ready to take him out.

Meanwhile...

Sam and Dean Winchester have been tracking this evil son of a bitch for weeks. A higher level demon, hopping from one high-profile meat suit to the next. They have holy water, they know the exorcism, and they're ready to send him back to Hell.

Connor and Murphy have no idea their mark is possessed.

Sam and Dean have no idea their demon is wearing the Saints' next hit.

The MacManuses get there first, reciting the family prayer and firing point blank into the mobster's skull...

But it doesn't kill him.

The Winchesters arrive just in time to see the demon smoke out, leaving two very shell shocked Irishmen standing with guns still drawn.

"Fuckin hell," Connor mutters, dumbstruck.

"Son of a bitch!" Dean bursts out, incensed.
