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."

Hi! Are u okay? I would like to request some hcs for Cater, Idia, Leona, Epel and Vil (separated) with a tomboy girlfriend who is friendly and kind to everyone – big sister vibes –, is especially sweet and affectionate to her boyfriend but can change from water to wine if you push her so far; Similar to the bully hcs, someone says something to her that really pisses her off and she throws her hands at the bully and what would be the boys reactions to this change in behavior.

I'm sorry if that's too specific! Sorry for any grammar mistakes, shout-out from Brazil <3

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."

[destinyc1020]

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 🤷🏾‍♀️

[ororosmunroe]

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.

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.

[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.

He is not good with women. He blushes in front of a woman. He does not harm women, but not as long as they are recognized as an enemy with equal fighting power.

[FATE, ENDING]

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 fights combining skateboarding action and "flame control ability" as a member of the "Homura" clan. 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.).

[LIKES]

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]

· 1993, Yata Misaki is born.

· 2006, he meets Fushimi in middle school.

· 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.”

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.

2. Moment sway

Because of the instantaneousness of email, a business can begin getting results not long after its messages are sent.

Organizations normally need to stand by weeks until they see deals come in because of print or broadcast crusades and, and still, at the end of the day, how might they be certain what was answerable for the buy?

Email promoting doesn't really need an immense group or reams of specialized nous to be fruitful.

On the off chance that an establishment just has a proposal in specific spaces of the country, it can undoubtedly organize messages to be sent uniquely to those living in specific regions. In the event that there is a deal on sports merchandise, it tends to be orchestrated by just the individuals who have shown a premium in sports to get an email.

Email list division turns out phenomenally for brands who acquire data about their supporters. Studies have shown that advertisers who utilize this strategy regularly brag further developed commitment rates subsequently. The old 'shower and supplicate' technique for sending a similar email to each endorser or client does not work anymore, and the organizations that see the best outcomes from their email advertising are dividing information and missions to guarantee that they're sending the most applicable message to people.

Gain worldwide reach with your email promotion.

9. Contact an all around connected crowd

Email advertising is one of the lone channels that purchasers request to get. This can consider a lot higher transformation rates as a business is just focusing on the individuals who as of now have a premium in their image.

It is, obviously, conceivable to send spontaneous email showcasing messages, yet this is simply liable to irritate buyers and result in a harmed brand picture. As an organization that offers email advertising programming, we emphatically recommend that you don't utilize bought records for your email showcasing – the outcomes you'll see from developing your rundown and gaining clients naturally will lead to far more grounded results.

10. Low expenses

Quite possibly the most clear benefits of email promoting is its lower cost contrasted with standard showcasing channels. There are no print or postage costs and no charges paid in return for openness on a specific announcement, magazine or TV slot. Email advertisers should seriously mull over putting resources into expert programming to mechanize, follow and assess their messages. In all actuality, there might be a little overhead for sending a great many messages all at once, however these expenses are far lower than what you would hope to pay utilizing other promoting channels.

The Bucketlist

Mini-Series of Short Stories

SILK-Should I Let him Know[EN]:Chapter 3/FINALE

Phoebe decided to go out to the school garden and appreciated all of it before it's gone.

She sat on the swing, not caring if her dress get dirty...

"Bye School... You may not know it, but I will miss you." She whispered.

"I'll miss you too..." A voice said from behind.

Phoebe almost jumped out of the swing...

"Oh! Joshua! You scared the hell out of me..." Joshua laughed at her reaction.

"How come after all these years, you haven't still recognized me?" Josh asked.

"What?" Phoebe looked confused.

"Alright... I'll give you a clue." Joshua said as he inhaled air to make his stomach expand like he just swallowed a watermelon.

Well, it's not that effective since the man has developed six pack abs due to non-stop working out through the years...

Then, he widely opened his mouth...

"Hey!!! What are you geeks up to?! I'll tell on you!!!" His voice deep and childish at the same time as he mimic an old dialogue.

"Oh my Gosh! J-josh? Is that you? You lost weight. And... It looked good on you." Phoebe said.

"Yep. But I'm so not your middleschool bully anymore." Josh said laughing a bit.

Phoebe was about to go down the swing but Josh stopped her...

"No, don't go down, I'll give you a push..." Josh said smiling to her.

And he did.

He pushed Phoebe gently on the swing as they talk.

"Why are you alone? Don't you have a date?" Phoebe asked.

"Hey, I should be asking a beautiful woman like you the same question, but to answer your question... I went to the ball alone because she kinda, ditched me..." Phoebe laughed.

"I like seeing you laugh. It's been a while. I also wanted to say sorry..." Josh said.

"Why?" Phoebe asked.

"I blamed myself for what happened to your leg. If I wasn't such a bad kid... You wouldn't end up in that well anyway." Josh explained.

"It's not your fault... I was never mad at you." Phoebe said.

"Phoebe?" Josh called. She turned her head.

"Yes Josh-..." Phoebe was cut off.

She was shocked as he kissed her.

Phoebe kissed him back.

Neither one of them knows that someone accidentally saw them...

When their lips parted...

Josh spoke...

"I have to go Phoebe. I have to go to a job interview tomorrow. I applied for a job in advance. Don't ask sweetheart. I need it badly." Josh said smiling as Phoebe nodded.

With that, Josh left.

Phoebe decided to sneak into the building.

To the classroom that she and Zoriah shared memories together.

"And I thought school took so long to finish..." Phoebe said to herself.

"Time flies when you're having fun..." A familiar figure stood at the door.

"Zack?" She asked.

"Why did you kiss him?" He asked.

"You saw-?" She was cut off when Zack harshly pinned her to the wall and kissed her roughly.

Her crutch fell on the floor.

Phoebe used all of her strength and pushed him away...

"Why?! You liked me from the beginning right?!" Zack asked.

"What? T-this can't happen between us Zack. Zoriah loves you so much. She needs you." Phoebe's eyes began to water.

Zack's expression softened in front of the crying woman.

"You're right... I'm sorry..." Zack whispered and picked up Phoebe's crutch and gave it to her.

Then, Phoebe picked up her pace and she went to the door to get away from the man...

He chased her to the University building's entrance.

"Phoebe... W-will I see you again?" Zack asked her.

Phoebe just smiled to him, she turned her back and closed the glass doors.

Two years after...

Life happened and they have lived it how the paths has lead them...

Separate lives.

"Once again, thank you for calling Parker and Welsing Customer Service, have great day. Bye." Phoebe's closing spiel made it.

It's O'clock.

"And Log-out guys! Good job, our sales went higher this week." Their team leader announced as the floor was filled with applause.

"Looks like someone's going home early." Her teammate teased.

"She's in a hurry. Do you have a date?" Her other teammate Grace asked wriggling her thick jungle brows on her.

Phoebe just laughed a bit and shook her head at the comment.

"Caught you red-handed girl." The other teammate commented laughing.

Phoebe blushed.

"Geez, my last customer's really mad. Said he ain't dying yet so why sell him insurance... Phoebs... How many insurance deals did you close today?" The other teammate asked as they're on the lockers getting their stuff.

"Eleven." Phoebe casually answered.

"Wow, our team leader's right, you are good." One exclaimed.

"Is your boyfriend gonna fetch you?" Phoebe nodded.

"Yes, he's downstairs." She said.

"Is he still going overseas to for his dream?" Grace asked.

"Well, it's job offer as an animator. It's his first love but because of me... He's still thinking about it." Phoebe sighed.

"Why don't you go with him?" Grace said.

"Nah... It's not that easy. He was only sponsored. Me? Where will I get the money to go with him? And besides, he already let me fulfilled my dream. I have worked as a part-time science teacher, even though that I'm not getting a lot from the job while he's earning hard. He said, he's doing that for our future. That's the reason I have applied for this job, I think I'll earn a little more here." Phoebe explained.

"Future? Maybe he's planning to propose to you." Grace commented.

"I'm thankful if he does but I still won't get my hopes up. Marriage is such a big step." Phoebe said.

"Well, if you say so... See yah Phoebs! Ciao!" Grace said as they part ways.

Just then, Josh decided to take her out on a restaurant like their usual...

Later, Phoebe spoke...

"Are you going to Zoriah and Zack's wedding?" She asked Josh.

"Nope. I have to work that day..." Her boyfriend answered.

"Well, if you're not going, then I'm not going too." Said Phoebe.

"Too clingy... I'm living for it though." Josh laughed a bit.

"Uhm... Josh?" Phoebe called out.

"Yes?" He said.

"I know how you thought hard about the job offer you got and-..." Phoebe was cut off.

"I will decline it." Josh immediately said, blocking his girlfriend's words.

"I'm grateful that after all these years, you have been with me... Josh. We both know that declining it, is not really what you want. Thank you for always being there and taking care of me. You've let me do whatever I want, now it's your turn. I will never hold you off and take you away from your first love." She addressed seriously.

Her eyes shed tears as she was speaking.

"W-well, if that's how you look af it but... Phoebs... I'll be back for you. I will marry you Phoebs..." Josh said.

His eyes are getting dewy as well.

"D-don't make promises you're yet not certain that you can keep. I know you'll be happier fulfilling your dream there, even without me. Do not hesitate and go for it. I'll be okay." Phoebe said smiling to Josh...

Josh stood up and went across the table go reach his girlfriend, and hugged Phoebe...

"Thank you..." He whispered to the woman.

Years later, after Phoebe's leg operation and therapy.

She fully recovered.

Then, she went hiking with her new hope.

She's with her mom and dad as well...

When she got to the top along with the other climbers, she walked away a little from them to take in and appreciate how beautiful and peaceful it is.

She so was consumed by the beauty and her thoughts...

I wonder how and what are they doing right now?

Zoriah, Josh and...

Zack.

'Should I still let him know?'

Nah, I'll pass.

They guy's married to my bestfriend Zoriah and I'm sure that they're both very happy now.

I owe it to Josh that I'm here in this beautiful place by myself, now I know I'm not alone.

I have my family...

They're my first and last love.

It's okay to have it that way.

She looked at her parents taking pictures and selfies with the breath-taking background.

Someday, I'll live in a place like this. Serene and free...

'Freedom.'

It doesn't always mean that you need to be out there.

Like the frogs trapped in the well that doesn't need to be saved if it doesn't really want to...

It also doesn't always relate to love.

Sometimes, being able to reflect, focus on one's self and realizing own worth, away from the prying eyes, is the greatest freedom of all.

And when it comes to loving someone freely...

You don't need to always let them know that you love them, 'cause if you really do, they will feel too.

Eventually.

"You seemed pre-occupied. Mind if I join you in your thoughts?" A familiar man's voice said beside her.

She turned her head with tears in her eyes...

Her lips parted and spoke...

"Josh?" She asked smiling.

The man nodded.

"You're one and only... I'll never leave you again. I'll take care of you forever if I have to..." Josh said smiling back and she hugged him tightly.

My Thoughts and Feelings About Sephiroth (Part 3)

Well I did say I would make a third part if I had more in mind about Sephiroth. And much to my surprise, there is more! So here it is! Parts 1 and 2 can be found here so you can keep up just in case I mention anything from those posts:

My Thoughts and Feelings About Sephiroth (Part 1)

My Thoughts and Feelings About Sephiroth (Part 2)

Now this one will be a little different because I will include more about the portrayals I've seen throughout the Internet, my own opinions about them, and my own portrayal. Plus I will include the essay I wrote about him for one of my college courses and I might say random things about Sephiroth that I will discuss. 

First will be the portrayals of Sephiroth I have noticed throughout the Internet. I will not attack any of these or offend anyone who has these headcanons. I respect everybody's headcanons, and it's a good thing too because being a jerk to anyone who has portrayals that are different from yours is stupid and a waste of time. I have friends whose portrayals are varied, and we don't fight over how Sephiroth should act. Love them, hate them, be neutral to them, just as long as you handle this in a mature manner. 

Now I have mentioned the portrayal of Sephiroth where he's unnaturally hypersexual in part 1, so I will not go into detail about it anymore. It's already been done. Another one I will not discuss again is the mindless killing machine portrayal (mentioned in part 2). To those who do or like these portrayals, I dislike them but I will respect your choice.

Now for the portrayals. The ones I really enjoy are the ones for his Crisis Core self (or pre-Nibelheim if you want to put it that way). As I have stated before, I can relate to his past personality, so I really like a lot of the headcanons. Picturing him, say, struggling to socialize, not knowing much of certain things (i.e. video games), spending time with friends, basically being human is heartwarming for me. I take it a lot of people like CC Sephiroth, and who wouldn't? There was this one story where Sephiroth took a liking to lemon drops, which is one thing I added to my own headcanon page on my blog. I found it rather sweet and cute. That's like me but with chocolate. I love chocolate. And then there's one where he has no idea what a sitcom is due to his sheltered upbringing, and it was pretty amusing to picture Genesis and Angeal trying to explain it to him as they watched TV. There are many others that I don't think I can list since there are so many of them, and for a lot of them, I like them. There's some that I don't, but that's just my personal opinion.

Now for the Sephiroth we all know after the Nibelheim Incident. Man, I'm beginning to remember what I've read. It's hard for me to find some portrayals that I like because the ones I've seen so far were unsettling. Sephiroth being a sadistic rapist is one of the worst ones I've seen so far. Not as in the stories are poorly written or something like that but for me, it's one of my least favorite portrayals. I get that he lost his mind, but I believe he wouldn't go that far. I wouldn't go that far with my own portrayal because it just makes me feel uncomfortable. Just thinking about it makes me uneasy.

I confess that I don't know my limits when it comes to portraying Sephiroth. For a long time, I've been trying to grasp his evil demeanor and I still hesitate to go further and struggle to get inside his head sometimes. So I don't know how far I can go with dark, twisted, cruel scenarios, but rape is one of my limits. I won't reveal the user, but I was recently asked if I could do necrophilia. When I got the question, I was speechless. That's another one of my limits. I really can't imagine Sephiroth being...intimate with a corpse. Much to my relief, they respected my opinion. And I like that. People should respect others because everyone has limits and if I have to force myself to write Sephiroth doing rape, acting all creepily intimate around Jenova, asphyxiation (as in the kink), or something that I don't see him doing, I won't enjoy the roleplays at all. I used to wish I could please everybody, but that's an impossible goal and I should keep in mind about what I want and don't want to do. Again, I don't know my limits too well, so if anyone wants to RP with me on my Sephiroth blog and it involves something that you're not sure if I accept or not, please message me. I'll try to get out of my comfort zone, but please respect my limits. If I don't do certain things, there are other Sephiroth blogs out there. It's simple and it will prevent pointless drama.

My portrayal for Sephiroth is close to his canon self but mixed with his CC side and my own headcanons. I try to stay close to canon as I write, and I silently read what I wrote and then read it out loud while picturing Sephiroth saying it. If what I wrote doesn't work, I revise them until they sound like Sephiroth. It's still not easy because I'm still struggling with his dark, insane, cruel self, the villain everyone knows and loves. One thing is certain is I do try my best to make him more human but still maintaining his character. I can't make him too human or else that ruins his cold and distant qualities, like making him fall madly in love with someone or bawling his eyes out. Now I haven't seen these examples anywhere, so I'm just throwing in random hypothetical headcanons here. The point is I do try my best not to make him too kind, soft, patient, you know, real nice or else that's not really Sephiroth. Lol But I also don't make him relentlessly cruel to the max 24/7. Both extremes aren't portrayals I like, so I am tackling middle ground. It's possible, and if others don't like my portrayal, that's fine, but they shouldn't judge me for it.

Since I'm discussing my own portrayal, I might as well explain other things about it. Let's see, he has interests outside of trying to destroy/conquer the world and messing with Cloud. My character is a loyal follower. Her profile isn't on my blog but her name is Maybelle Rose, and she's Sephiroth's love interest. Speaking of this, I make Sephiroth a bit of a Tsundere towards others, not necessarily involving romance like with Maybelle. He doesn't act like a stereotypical Tsundere, but he's a very, very subtle version. 

Romance. Now this is something that might piss off so many, but I can picture him in a relationship. No, I'm not talking about Crisis Core Sephiroth. I mean post-CC. Say what you want, but I can see it. If done well, it can work. I don't like following the stereotype that villains are incapable of love. Some villains can truly be incapable of love, but not ALL villains. It's not mandatory. A friend of mine claims that Sephiroth is bland. Now I completely disagree with his opinion, but it did give me confidence in pursing romance regarding Sephiroth. Heroes are written as human beings, why not do the same for villains? That's what makes characters compelling, it makes them real. That's what I'm basically trying to do with Sephiroth, and as challenging as it may be at times and despite people probably going against this idea as they read this, I'll do it. My blog now allows shippings. Yes, I now accept shippings. I used to not accept them, but I changed my mind. My reasons are shown in my rant here:

Sephiroth Fandom Rant

Okay I know I said I wouldn't mention the hypersexual Sephiroth portrayal, but I might as well. If he were in a romantic relationship, he wouldn't be like that. Sephiroth doesn't get horny around everyone. Seriously, he's not a sex-obsessed maniac. Sephiroth is a private man with dignity and he would never act extremely sexual, let alone sexual in general. He would be intimate with his significant other, but it would be in a normal level and he would be intimate in private. And I must add that my portrayal does involve Sephiroth having kinks, but he's not sex-obsessed like I said. He has self-control and he keeps things private. 

Now for the next thing. I wrote this essay over two years ago, and apparently I kept it after all this time. Lol Yes I wrote an essay about Sephiroth, back when I was still somewhat of a new fan. The assignment was to do a paper on a criminal, real or fictional, and diagnose them with specific personality disorders. However, it didn't mean that they HAD to have any of these disorders. We just had to show the instructor that we understood the material we have learned during class. Take a look at my essay here:

Essay on Sephiroth

Fun fact: My other choice for this assignment was Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. XD But Sephiroth was a better candidate and I was able to write more about him than I could have ever done about Gaston. Schizoid Personality Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder were two of the ten types of personality disorders that came close to Sephiroth's behavior. I don't consider either of these disorders as my personal headcanons for him. I honestly never did despite Schizoid PD being pretty close. And much to my shock, my instructor liked my paper and I wound up getting an A! I never got an A on any papers, so it felt amazing to finally get a grade that was higher than a C.

Speaking of psychology, one headcanon that's somewhere online is that Sephiroth has autism. Well, it is possible because I have a friend who is autistic, but during my research on this condition, I don't see Sephiroth as autistic. Sure some of his traits do seem to resemble signs and symptoms, but speculation isn't considered a confirmation that he has autism. He might have it but I would rather have Square Enix confirm it if he really is autistic. On another note, I do understand why they headcanon him as autistic. They relate to Sephiroth because some of his traits remind them of themselves. I get that and if they think he's autistic, that's okay with me. This headcanon is also given to Papyrus from Undertale and Pearl and Peridot from Steven Universe, so I'm familiar with this. Even L from Death Note is believed to be autistic. To be honest, I kind of believe it regarding L. That's just my opinion, though.

Tangent aside, courtesy of a friend, I am more intrigued by Sephiroth in a new level. Aside from his appearance and personality, his intelligence, the way he thinks has me curious. Yes I have been trying to get into his head to improve my portrayal, and I think I found a strategy. If I want to portray and act like Sephiroth, I have to think like him...in less destructive ways, might I add. Lol I may not be an expert as Sephiroth yet, but I'll get there. I've come this far on my blog, and I'm not throwing it all away. 

Speaking of my Sephiroth blog, besides that it would be fun and such, I created my own blog because I wanted to express my passion for him. He's one of my role models that made me stronger and I just really admire him. And like I said, I knew I could connect with other fans. Sure, there's a toxic side of the fandom, but that won't stop me. I did feel offended several days ago, as mentioned in my rant, but I'm fine now. In addition to my reasons, I didn't start the blog for fame. Popularity isn't really a big deal for me, I just want to show everyone how much of a Sephiroth fan I am in creative ways. Besides, I found the thought of portraying Sephiroth a fun challenge considering he's my opposite, and he pretty much started my fascination for villains. I also made friends thanks to the blog, one of them being my best friend here on Tumblr. :)

Now to finish this post with one more thing. When I was still a new Sephiroth fan, I confess that I tried to redeem him. Of course it was a difficult task to do for a story, and I admit I was determined to do it. However, as I kept going, I slowly realized doing this implied I didn't like him the way he is, the villain he is widely known as instead of what he used to be before discovering his origins. So I drifted away from redemption and focused on Sephiroth on who he is without changing him. Today, I love Sephiroth for who he is, cruel, cold, calculating, everything. Why change a character you're supposed to love? You wouldn't do that to a real-life partner, or anyone in general. Sephiroth wouldn't have liked me for trying to make him turn a new leaf. Lol So I never pursued redemption for him again. It was too hard anyway. It's like trying to redeem the Joker! That's how hard it was for me. So screw that mind-numbing task, Sephiroth should remain as the badass villain I have grown to love.

Well, this is it. For real this time! Lol This is my final part of the "My Thoughts and Feelings About Sephiroth" posts. I said everything I had to say about Sephiroth as I included all my thoughts, feelings, etcetera. I'm out of things to say about him, so no fourth post! XD If I ever have more Sephiroth-related comments that comes to mind, I'll just make small posts. Will I make more long posts like these? Perhaps. I had fun writing these posts. Maybe I can tackle other topics, or maybe talk about another character in detail. Well, see ya!
