#Tori's Random Ramblings

[eljeebee]

What's your Tori Mood for today??? Right now I'm a 1 lol

[rotten-bride]

Monster energy drinks make my heart race, and even though one of my nurses told me my blood pressure was slightly high from the caffeine, I’m still drinking it! Because it’s tasty! I wish my country had the no caffeine versions :(

[hirazuki]

I hadn't poked around seiyuu news/projects in ages, but was a little surprised to hear Sakurai as Geto in the new season (I'm assuming production had been far enough along at the time that finding someone else made no sense?), and it seems like Toriumi and the guy who does Mephisto in Ao no Ex are the main replacements in his projects which, yes, from a vocal perspective both are absolutely excellent choices.

Really curious to see who they'll pick for Cloud, though; that's a tough one :/

[quillsandblades]

I wanted to write screams the way we hear them. Or imagine them. There's this raw, tearing pain in those sounds that can only be felt while hearing. Reading them never feels that impacting. How do I translate screams in my head to words that pierce the chest in the same way? Each howl tells a story and I just can't put it into sentences...

Imagination is more vivid than our words and sometimes that's a huge inconvenience

Why do all the scenes I want to write into my fic look so much better in my head, and as soon as I write them down, they're just never as I imagined them. 🥲

Isn't there some kind of printer that turns those scenes into words, describing them exactly the way they look and feel in my head? Using the right words, conveying the exact vibe I'm feeling? No?

[eggzeroni]

So I was over here thinking

Outside of my universe, who would my trio be friends with?

Well I think @twoandahalfdimes Agnes and Enzo might get into some scrapes with William

Maybe @whalesongsblog Miradevi and Rayna might yap about random things, I think they'd get along well.

Perhaps @amethystandemma Radiant might just be slightly confused by Rowen and his bubbly demeanour

@rypnami I definitely see Chiara getting overwhelmed by these three 😂

I see @light-of-the-room Hanno hanging out with William

@savingsallow Val prancing around with Rayna 😭

@espressoristretto-patronum Tori and William being annoyed by the fact that everyone thinks they're siblings 💕🤣

@myokk Eloise and Rowen seem like they'd have picnics together 😭💔

@ravenwind-75 - I think Jo would probably have a lot of fun with Rayna - I don't know how but they just would

@rambling-tam Thalia and William would 100 percent just vibe nothing else to say - do I have to draw this now? *sigh*

Random ass Michael / Sprolden hcs

Michael has an underdressing problem, to the point where his closet is full of casual tees, hoodies, and etc. Tori has to help him shop for formal suits since he has no sense of what's formal.

Because Michael is pretty good at masking when he's sad, Tori has learned the warning signs to help him out.

Tori makes Michael's gym snacks + smoothies/protein shakes when they're in college, eventually he starts bringing her to the gym with him.

Michael likes diet lemonade because of Tori.

Michael convinces Tori to drink a lot of tea with him.

It can actually be pretty impossible to say no to Tori, strong as she is, whenever she really sets her mind to something.

When Tori moves out, they call Nick and Charlie every Saturday.

Michael and Tori watch musicals together, but they would never admit that's a normal Tuesday night for them.

Tori is so used to ordering food, because she's so used to masking. Michael knows how to do a lot of things, but this particularly makes him a little anxious, and so Tori will often order for him.

Tori likes to listen to Michael ramble.

Despite not being incredibly dependent, Tori and Michael sleep in the same bed -- and when they are away from each other they struggle to sleep.

[pansy-picnics]

okay FOR MY DEAR TUMBLR FOLLOWERS’ BROWSING PERUSAL…

#pansy-art : my main tag for all of my new art, not including previously posted art being referenced in an ask response, add-on to a reblog, etc etc (the hyphen in the tag kinda breaks the link— I really shouldnt have added the hyphen in hindsight but its unfortunately been like 4 years and i cannot go back now. But it’s the first tag when you go to search my posts, you can’t miss it)

#pansy rambling again : most of my text posts, be it headcanons, random discourse i get myself into or whatever other horrible thoughts i decide to unleash onto the world

#tangled kids : ALL of my posts regarding my tts next gen au - my art, asks, lore dumps, art from other people, etc. Specific character tags: ilmari, alina, ryder, emery

#splatoon ocs : same as above but for my splatoon ocs. Specific character tags: kyle, cece, yumi, tori, eliza

#oc lore (tts) : similar to the tangled kids tag but condensed into what i feel like are the most important to the lore, character dynamics, etc. be aware that older info may have been changed by now, I’m still developing these characters as i go! (for example, their old refs are included bc they have animal companion profiles- but the info in the character descriptions are fairly out of date.)

#oc lore (splatoon) : same as above, splatoon version- although they’re pretty new so p much all the info is up to date

#next gen asks : all of the asks i’ve answered related to my next gen au/tangled kids!

#splatoon asks : same as above, splatoon version!

other miscellaneous ocs: brynn (tts), satsuki (3ot), yasuo (3ot)

I think the reason my insta followers are more caught up on the Lore is probably because i post a lot of random dumps abt them on my stories that my mutuals are usually going through every day- i dont post as many of my random thoughts here, so truly if you ever want to know something about them, do not be afraid to pop into my inbox, i love love love telling ppl abt my ocs!!!!!!!

Poly!relationship with Michael Holden and Tori Spring.

Pairing: Michael Holden x F!reader x Tori Spring.

Trigger warnings: talks of toris mental health, mentions emotional vulnerability, and poly relationship.

Request.

Balancing Personalities

Michael is the wild, spontaneous one. He’s full of energy, always coming up with strange but fun ideas to keep things interesting.

Tori is the more introspective, introverted type. She's sarcastic and cynical, but with you and Michael, she lets her walls down, allowing herself to be more vulnerable.

You are the middle ground between them—someone who can be thoughtful and quiet with Tori, but also indulge Michael’s chaotic energy. You often help balance their extremes.

Group Hangouts:

You three have a variety of group activities to suit everyone's preferences. Sometimes it’s something fun and quirky that Michael suggests—like late-night urban exploration or spontaneous road trips. Other times, it’s cozy evenings in, where you and Tori quietly read together while Michael rambles excitedly about the latest oddity he's discovered.

Picnics are a favorite, where Michael provides the fun, quirky vibe with colorful blankets and unusual snacks, Tori brings the music, and you help organize everything.

Emotional Support System:

Michael is the type to always check in on how you're both feeling. Even though he can be hyper, he’s emotionally intelligent and makes sure no one feels left out or overwhelmed.

Tori, while less open with her emotions, shows her love through small acts of care. She may not say it often, but she’ll quietly make your favorite tea or share something meaningful with you both when she’s in a good mood.

You often serve as the glue, helping Tori to open up and helping Michael to slow down when he gets too carried away.

Affection:

Michael is the most physically affectionate out of the three of you, often pulling both you and Tori into random group hugs or wrapping an arm around each of you.

Tori tends to show affection in subtle ways, like leaning into your shoulder or holding your hand when no one’s watching.

You like receiving affection from both of them—whether it's Tori resting her head on your lap or Michael pulling you into a bear hug.

Communication Style:

With Michael, conversations are usually fast-paced and filled with random tangents. He’s always bouncing between topics, but he genuinely listens to both you and Tori when you need to vent.

Tori prefers quiet moments and deep conversations. Sometimes she’ll open up about her darker thoughts and fears when it’s just the three of you, and you and Michael help her through it by making her feel safe and heard.

You find yourself often mediating between the two when they have different approaches, helping them compromise and communicate better.

Inside Jokes:

The three of you have tons of inside jokes, mostly because of Michael’s odd sense of humor and Tori’s deadpan reactions. You'll all reference past moments that make no sense to anyone else, and it’s a way of bonding that makes you feel like you're in your own little world.

Late-Night Adventures:

Michael is known for his late-night ideas, and both you and Tori sometimes indulge him. Whether it’s stargazing or taking a random trip to the 24-hour diner, Michael manages to pull both of you out of your comfort zones, in the best way.

Tori usually rolls her eyes at first but secretly enjoys it when the three of you end up in random but memorable situations.

Support for Tori’s Mental Health:

Both you and Michael are hyper-aware of Tori’s struggles with depression and social exhaustion. You respect her need for space when she needs it but also ensure she feels loved and supported.

Sometimes, Michael’s energy is too much for Tori, and that’s when you step in to provide her with some quiet, soothing company while still making sure Michael doesn’t feel like he’s losing connection with her.

Creative Outlets:

Tori and you often bond over creative outlets like writing or drawing. Tori tends to keep to herself, but when she shares her work with you, it’s a sign that she trusts you deeply.

Michael loves joining in on any creative projects, even if he’s not the most artistic. He brings a playful energy to your shared hobbies, and it turns into a fun collaboration.

Emotional Growth:

Being with Michael and Tori helps you become more attuned to different communication styles and emotional needs. Michael teaches you how to embrace spontaneity and joy, while Tori shows you how to appreciate quiet, introspective moments.

The three of you grow together, with each relationship bringing out the best in one another.

WARNING: SPOILERS WILL BE COMING! 🚨

So, as we all know, part 1 of season 6 is dropping tonight! It's looking like midnight my time, and because I am a large baby, that is past my bedtime.

I'm going to be binging the episodes early tomorrow morning, and posting my ranting rambling thoughts here - maybe I'll just use this post? - the way I did for the first five episodes of my rewatch.

I will hide them under a cut, and I don't plan on posting anything about the new season outside of this post for a week or so.

Basically, if you want to avoid spoilers: read with caution!

Episode 1: Peacetime in the Valley

…God I really love how they do music on this show.

Okay this peace better die real fucking quick because I’m annoyed.

CHOZEN IN A SHORT ROBE, NOW WE’RE TALKING.

Looking at this newspaper clipping, I wonder if we’re supposed to care about little details or if they just didn’t really care and it’s completely random. If it’s NOT random, I have thoughts:

Why is the photographer who took Terry’s mugshot only named by their initials. Anyone know a B.T.?

…okay, looking at the column on the left, this had better be a joke. CLOWN MURDER?!

And then the article itself is cobbled together. Unless this is just a fake newspaper as a plant, then this is pretty week bud.

Coincidentally, if you or any other showrunner would like to hire me to write fake newspaper articles for your show or movie so that people like me don’t tear you apart online, I am available!

Okay so Tory and Robby are clearly still together, and the only thing that isn’t complete peace is Kenny and Anthony only looking at each other from a distance?

DANIEL’S SMUG SMILE AS THE COBRA KAI LOGO GETS THROWN AWAY GO FUCK YOURSELF SIR.

Amanda YES, bring up Terry getting the charges dropped!

Kreese vs. US Marshals eh?

Stop talking about my man without showing him, Daniel.

Oh good, already tension between Daniel and Johnny’s views on things.

OH JOHNNY LOOKS GENUINELY DEVASTATED THAT THEY DEMOLISHED THE ABANDONED WAREHOUSE.

…wow we really are just forgiving Benedict Penis Breath for some reason, huh?

IT DID NOT TAKE AWHILE FOR YOU TWO TO TALK AGAIN, ROBBY. YOU LITERALLY JUST HAD A FIGHT AND THAT SEEMED TO FIX EVERYTHING??

…Johnny wants to use fire on the children? I can think of a couple that can be guinea pigs *cough*KYLER*cough*

Ohhhhhh… Daniel picking Chozen over Johnny isn’t gonna end well. What if instead we got rid of Daniel and Johnny and Chozen hung out.

– insert Sekai Taikai exposition here –

And the new name of the dojo iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis… I MEAN, WE’VE ALL BEEN CALLING IT MIYAGI-FANG FOREVER.

Of course Daniel is angry (I mean it is a stupid picture of Mr. Miyagi but still)

…Chozen going against Johnny here really doesn’t check out. But I am here for a Chozen vs. Johnny fight.

The worst double-date in history! WHO CARES IF SHE DOESN’T WANT TO LEARN MIYAGI-DO??

Robby, don’t you dare speak ill of the precious Kenny/Silver mentorship dynamic you JERK.

Daniel (and Chozen) being so dismissive of Johnny’s feelings makes me sad

Oh DIP OMINOUS TEXT MESSAGE GOOD THING YOU BOUGHT THAT AXE.

Tory looks so sad and I hate it. Eat your waffle cone, Miguel.

Robby why in the hell would interrupting the game make Kenny want to listen to you? Also lmao look who’s taller now Kenny grew like 2 feet.

HI SHAWN. …Being ominous in an arcade is great.

Daniel preaching balance when he’s simultaneously…Daniel is infuriating.

…Chozen alcoholism subplot? ANDNO KUMIKO?! BUT I SHIP IT SO HARD!

Oh Johnny really brought the axe huh?

OH MY GOD STINGRAY I’M DYING.

Shawn your child brother is starting high school please do not take him to a strip club.

ROBBY WHY WOULD YOU APPROACH WHILE THEY HAVE BATS.

WE DON’T WANT TO FIGHT, he says while joining the fight!

…am I Stingray? “Because it’s awesome” – I WILL BELIEVE IN COBRA KAI FOREVER.

And he appreciates that Amanda is a smokeshow.

Don’t you dare disrespect ponytail dude, Shawn Payne.

Did the prison system actually help Shawn? SHOCKING.

Daniel being the bigger person? Only took HOW MANY DECADES?!

…so we’re calling it Miyagi-Do? Even though it’s not just Miyagi-Do? THIS IS DUMB.

We don’t get to see how Kreese got to Korea? REALLY?!

Episode 2: The Prize

NICK! YAY TERRY BACKSTORY! (Also Barrett yay but I mean… TERRY)

Kreese defending her is so cute OH MY GOD SHE’S IN THE AIR CHILL OUT GRAMPS.

Oh good, sewage in the cooking pots.

Not a real talk about money on this show! Oh, we’re cutting away?

…Why did we linger on that one student when Kim said “Silver is gone now”? Am I just looking for hope where there isn’t any?

I’m sorry, how old is this man going to be now? HE LOOKED 80 IN THE LATE 60S.

Does Amanda just dress like that everyday? Daniel is a lucky man.

I would watch an entire YouTube series in the vein of Trixie & Katya’s “I Like to Watch” that’s just Chozen watching reality shows.

“Your incompetence is why I must stay alive” is a brutal fucking line.

Kyler and his gaggle of 45 year old college freshmen. Or just Brucks.

…please think Chozen and Johnny are a gay couple, Mr. Realtor. Okay no, but Johnny blowing this up pretty spectacularly is pretty great.

Why do I feel like this is going to culminate in Kreese stabbing Immortal Kim because he’s “worthy of taking control”?

OR THE SNAKE COULD BITE HIM UMMMM.

As someone who has been in university in some capacity for like a decade, this… was not my experience. Though watching Kyler get shit on is kind of fun.

OH NO DUTCH REFERENCE. HE’S STILL IN PRISON THOUGH THAT’S GOOD.

Deus ex Johnny-fan ftw!

NOT HALLUCINATION NICK MARINI!

…Okay, so we are just gonna double down on the homoeroticism with men being each other’s weaknesses? I mean I’m here for it.

Frats have always seemed so stupid to me, with hazing and shit. Even for morons like Kyler. Never thought I’d see the day where I’m rooting for Kyler but I guess here we are. DESTROY THE DOUCHEBAGS. (Though how is anyone getting into college with this ASSAULT)

American tourist loses mind in cave, talks to snake. Film at 11.

Kyler acknowledging he’s a moron? I’m here for it. NO NOT ANOTHER FRAT COME ON.

LMAO Johnny insisting he has a job – AND IT WORKS HE JUST STARTS SELLING CARS.

Amanda is right though, what’s in the briefcase, Johnny?

Kim Da-Eun is gonna JUMP Kreese’s bones istg

Episode 3: Sleeper

Chozen freeloading is hilarious

“Chicks dig me” as a response to possibly having a daughter is crazy.

WHAT’S IN THE BOX?!

…the cobra is still in your dealership, Daniel?

“I’m a girl dad” – Johnny Lawrence, 2024 (or whatever year this is supposed to be I can’t remember)

…okay this episode is called Sleeper and we’re seeing that same student we did in the last episode when they said “Silver is gone now” DID TERRY HAVE A BASTARD CHILD AND NOT KNOW ABOUT IT?!

You tell ‘em, Devon.

Lol “LEE, CALL YOUR DAD, YOU’RE HANDLING THIS PROBLEM AT YOUR HOUSE.”

Please don’t be a stupid retcon of Miyagi’s character please don’t be a stupid retcon of Miyagi’s character please don’t be a stupid retcon of Miyagi’s character please don’t be a stupid retcon of Miyagi’s character please don’t be a stupid retcon of Miyagi’s character

Got a lot of mystery boxes in this episode, huh?

…”we can have a girls’ night,” says the 50-something year old man to the 3 teenaged girls he isn’t related to. I do love his relationship with Devon though. It’s a shame she’s going to die in a freak karate accident so that Johnny can name his daughter after her.

THE HORRORS LOCKED AWAY IN A HIDDEN COMPARTMENT ARE THAT HE WAS A BOXER?!

…oh and he beat the shit out of people.

AND HE CHANGED HIS NAME?! OKAY SHIT’S GETTING INTERESTING.

Lmao the Ouija board fakeout

Yeah good Daniel, leave your dolled-up wife in the shady gym.

OH MY GOD JOHNNY PLEASE STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING.

Kreese is really just trying to make a bunch of killing machines (or at least one, anyway), huh?

The Big 3 weren’t lying when they said they were going all out this season with the fights.

Also is Kreese just fine with the snake bite? He’s fine?

Oh noooo, Mr. Miyagi wasn’t a perfect human I’m SHOCKED.

Johnny is SO happy they’re fighting I love it – OH NO BOOOOOOOOOO PEACE. Go get matching tattoos or something you dorks.

Oh no Daniel, is your perfect worldview crumbling? Was surrogate daddy not as perfect as you thought?

YES, CHOZEN. WHAT DID HAPPEN IN CANCUN?

Nooo Chozen don’t leave even if it is for Kumiko I’LL MISS YOU.

Yes, let’s end the episode on “girls are easy”

Oh no wait, more Daniel mourning the loss of his innocence

Were the rumours right? We’re going to Spain? LET’S GOOOOOOO – wait how are they going to afford everyone going?

And we’re down to six – Miguel, Robby, Hawk, Sam, Tory… Kenny/Demetri/Devon?

Episode 4: Underdogs

Hawk thinks patriotism will earn him a spot? God I hate that mohawk.

“Each and every one of you has a shot, even though many of you are either our children, close enough to be our children, or are our clear favourites”

SHUT UP DEVON IF ANTHONY GETS PICKED I’M GOING TO KILL SOMEONE.

Johnny assuming he’s as good as a partner at the dealership is KILLING me

THANK YOU FOR TELLING HIM NO ABOUT ANTHONY, JOHNNY.

Why is Daniel so against them… actually earning their spots?

Hi Mike!

Lol flashback – but why not show Terry?

YES DEVON MY QUEEN.

AWWW, Penis Breath is so happy with his new name.

SERIOUSLY? ANTHONY?

If Anthony makes it I’m killing myself.

Devon speaking up for all neglected minor characters everywhere.

What in the actual fuck is going on. Go away Yasmine you suck. OKAY BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF DEMETRI’S HAPPINESS. …maybe her dumping him would’ve been better she is the WORST.

Binary Bros. will be the couple with the drama this season.

This capture the flag game seems fun but Mike can’t look at everyone at once…

I mean your son IS going to bleed and get the shit kicked out of him, Daniel. Wake up. No? Gonna keep feeding him your bs? Cool.

Barnes has quite the craftsmanship.

JOHNNY VS MIKE LET’S GOOOOOOOO… but away from the saw please.

HEY HE SAID THE THING.

…we’re really just gonna call each other bad boys with a straight face?

Okay Devon, enough with the negative self-talk. You’re sounding like me.

NOOOOOO Binary Bros. are fighting!

Kenny is kind of cocky af and I hope he doesn’t get it.

Smart move would’ve been to go up top and see if you can spot the flag…

OH WE TOOK KENNY OUT WITH A CHEAP TRICK…that’s not funny.

Oh SHIT Demetri is being an asshat. Why is NO ONE asking bout Hawk?

MAN now Devon has to feel bad because someone else chea– OH MY GOD IT WAS HER.

Episode 5: Best of the Best

Why does Tory’s mom healing feel so ominous why does Tory’s mom healing feel so ominous why does Tory’s mom healing feel so ominous why does Tory’s mom healing feel so ominous

Oh look Kreese has come for a visit.

And yet another blonde champion has turned against Kreese.

OH MY GOD, DEMETRI SHUT UP.

Robby you lovestruck little fool it’s adorable.

I really love Terry (duh) but Johnny is 100% my favourite Sensei.

HEY LEAVE THAT CANADIAN DUMMY ALONE, EH?

What about your worst impulses, Danny Boy?  S H U T    U P   and appreciate your hot wife for once, Jesus!

…Carmen is going to go into labour in this episode isn’t she.

AND there it is! Nope wait, false alarm. Everybody go hug Miguel.

NO NO NO DON’T BE DEAD NO NO NO

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

HER FIST WAS CLENCHED – WAS IT KREESE?

Why does Sam and Miguel’s relationship seem so focused on beating Robby and Tory? While Robby and Tory seem actually into each other?

Daniel you suck, you hypocritical, self-righteous twat.

This is some mighty fine acting, Miss Peyton List. Best crier on the show since Xolo!

JOHNNY YOU HAVE A BABY ON THE WAY CAN YOU NOT YANK THE STEERING WHEEL.

…he’s right though. SHUT UP DANIEL.

Okay but Johnny this is really stupid you’ve sold cars for four minutes.

LMAO “YOU’RE FINALLY LEAVING HIM” GOD AMANDA LISTEN TO JOHNNY HE’S RIGHT.

Johnny gonna embrace boxing with the students? Daniel can’t really say anything about it not being about Mr. Miyagi then.

She kept… the bottlecap… I AM NOT OKAY.

You did not try, Daniel. Shut the fuck up. I’m mad at you. Go away. Get your head outta your ass.

You don’t get to know everything about anyone, Daniel. Especially when you’ve got your head so far in the sand you can’t even come to grips with who YOU are.

Amanda go find Tory. GO FIND TORY, AMANDA.

Okay there’s Tory. USE THAT MOTIVATION, ROBBY.

Can Robby get a decent haircut for once please? He’s a cute kid, his head deserves better.

Good for you, Robby. (Also why do I feel like he’s going to change his last name to Lawrence once the baby is born and then they’ll all just be one big happy sappy family)

I’m sure that Tory seeing both of Sam’s living and supportive parents there won’t screw her up at all.

Oh that’s gonna be Tory’s therapist or something for Amanda isn’t it UH OH.

YEAH YOU NEED TO STOP THE FIGHT.

OH SHIT. Not Danny striking first.

FUCKING GOOD ENOUGH WITH THIS KUMBAYA SHIT.

…Kenny’s gonna be mad about that – oh wait he’s not there and I’m sure it’s going well for him.

Not the bloodstained headband.

…Hawk really kept the dumb mohawk for the tournament huh?

Tory and Kenny gonna be fighting for Korea with Kreese?

(Why is Kreese there? This is televised? The police??)

LET’S FUCKING GO TORY.

[ecoeclipselion]

But just a random Ramble lmao

[my-castles-crumbling]

probably one I should’ve already had. 

“I think it’s possible for you to have had a great childhood AND not be supported now” - You. 

I thought I was. Supported. Now. Because they’ve been doing everything they’ve always done, right? So it was normal. BUT, if they were really supporting me, they’d be supporting me. In the ways I need to be supported, not just the ways they want to support me. 

It’s Purple anon btw :) Ur really good at this advice thing. Like genuinely. Thanks. 

Also you ready? I HAVE NEWS. 

Ask her if it was a date. You make it sound so easy Cas. 

But I decided it was infinitely more embarrassing for it to be a date and I didn’t realise than if it wasn’t a date but I asked if it was. So I asked… 

you ready? (also please be prepared for how absolutely incredibly dumb i’m about to seem. benefit of hindsight and all?) 

Me: *in the kitchen with her, drying the dishes she’s just washed after dinner cause we don’t have a dishwasher- background music was my Chappell Roan playlist, just to set the scene* Hey so, I had the best time on Wednesday. Thank you for planning all that, you’re amazing. 

Daisy: You’re welcome. I had the best time too. Oh and I named the bear, which is getting more adorable everyday, just so you know. I named it Candy. After the road we met on. 

Me: The road? 

Daisy: Yes. The road. I cannot believe you. You don’t remember? 

Me: I- how do you remember that? 

Daisy: I met you. Of course I remember. A invited me to that adorable house party at her friends place, and as if it were in a movie, when I went outside to the street to get some air, on the left was the road sign, and on the right was you. I mean A was there too but who cares? I’m pretty sure she introduced us but I don’t remember what she said. 

Me: And you’re offended I don’t remember? I might not remember the name of the damn road, but I do remember everything she said about you. And your ridiculous outfit that night.  I never did find out where the hell you got that purse from.

Daisy: I stole it from my mum.

Me: But you told everyone a few months later that it got ruined at that party? 

Daisy: Oh yeah it got stained bad. And it was all your fault. 

Me: All my fault? How exactly? 

Daisy: You, you flustered me. 

Me: I? I flustered you? Now that’s hilarious. When did I fluster you, when I rambled on about the moon while we were stood outside?

Daisy: You don’t remember, do you? 

Me: Remember? I remember that night. You had that cardigan on, and you were very sensibly drinking water. 

Daisy: Yeah. And you definitely weren’t drinking water. Plus don’t get me started on outfits. I had on a silly brown cardigan, one of my favourite shirts and joggers. You had those boots, and glasses that everyone swore were a fashion statement, it took four months for me to realise you actually need those. They just fitted perfectly with your look. And your hair, don’t you remember how long it was back then, all wavy in the wind. God it really was like a movie. 

Me: Oh come on, i’m not buying that. Those glasses were dull and my hair was horrifically tangled that evening. Plus, “dumb brown cardigan”, don’t disparage my favourite cardigan of yours. I know you still have it. You wear it when you read. And it matches your eyes. Plus it has little caramel flowers, like the specs in your eyes. And that random shirt had Tori Spring on it. That’s how I knew we’d be friends. 

Daisy: Yeah I remember. You really don’t remember what happened that night? 

Me: I am literally talking to you about how I remember every detail, what have I missed? And pray tell how it was my fault your adorably weird bag got ruined?

Daisy: I- you are quite something. Okay so firstly, I brought up the moon and you not only indulged my random facts, you then gave your own. Then you trailed your hand down my chest, pointing at Tori and left your hand just resting on me as you chatted about how much you adored Solitaire and loved a book that surprised you with twists. THEN you trailed your hand back up my neck to my chin and pulled my face towards you, and whispered something about how amazing my eye makeup was. And then you downed your beer or whatever was in that horrific cup, grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house. Where we then spent an hour or so dancing, closely. Then your phone rang and suddenly you had to leave. You shoved your newest drink into my hand, kissed my cheek, and ran out the fucking house. And then I didn’t see you again for a month. So yeah, I dropped the stupid beer you shoved in my hands onto my mums bag when you kissed my cheek and then I had to explain that I of course wasn’t drinking, which I wasn’t. And then I had to tell her about you. It’s still stained, the bag. That’s how I remember it anyway. 

Me: I- erm- okay you must be exaggerating parts of that. And I wanted to see you, I had that family crisis, I disappeared to everyone. A freaked the hell out. Wait, is that we barely spoke that year? Our friend groups were overlapping so much but- besides a few moments- we didn’t talk much. Christ when you say it all like that I sound like a dick. I didn’t mean to-

Daisy: Flirt with me? 

Me: I didn’t mean to flirt with anyone back then. I was walking, talking mess. 

Daisy: And yet you charmed everyone. 

Me: Oh please, they put up with at best. But I charmed you?

Daisy: At first. Then you disappeared. Then i was less charmed. But it worked in the end, i’m still here aren’t I? 

Me: Yeah. You are. Look i’m sorry if that hurt you, I didn’t intend to but honestly that does sound kind of shitty of me. Why did you start talking to me, after like a year? Cause I tried starting conversations, I really liked you. But that whole year you couldn’t care less. 

Daisy: Couldn’t care less? I had a massive crush on you and you clearly weren’t in a place to be dealing with that. Hell, you’d barely figured out that you weren’t straight. And your parents were being extra dicks. After a year, I thought it’d be fine to be friends with you without getting a silly crush. 

Me: It took you a year to get over me? But 16 to 17 year old me was such a dickhead. How did you ever like her? 

Daisy: I like all of you. 

Me: That was cheesy. But same. For the record. 

Daisy: You like all of you too? 

Me: I obviously met you. You’re the worst. 

Daisy: Thought I was the best? 

Me: You can be both.

Daisy: Can I now? What an honour. 

We carried on in silence for a bit. I added this bit so you could see what gave me the final courage to ask her. Cause- clearly i’ve always been this much of an idiot. 

Me: *a few minutes later, I don’t remember how long it was tbh, Chappell Roan is STILL playing cause she’s iconic* Can I ask you something? 

Daisy: Sure, I guess.

Me: Wednesday. It was a lot of fun. 

Daisy: It was. That happens to not be a question though. 

Me: I- was it maybe, supposed to be a date? 

Daisy: What? 

Me: Shit i’m sorry, it didn’t- I just- It’s okay if not, I just thought i’d ask. 

Daisy: And, if it, if it was? 

Me: Then i’d say you really should’ve told me outright cause evidentially I can’t take social cues and I would’ve been way more romantic. 

Daisy: You held my hand. 

Me: You’re a touchy person. 

Daisy: You won me something.

Me: It made you smile, I always want you to smile. It wasn’t specific to Wednesday. 

Daisy: I’m sorry, are you saying you do all the lovely things you do to see me smile?

Me: Not to see it, that’s a bonus, just to know, that you’re smiling. To know you’re happy. It makes me happy. 

Daisy: I- shit. You can’t just say stuff like that.

Me: Why not? 

Daisy: You are and will always be the weirdest person i’ve ever met. You send crazy signals you know? 

Me: To be fair I don’t think i’m aware that i’m sending like half of them

Daisy: That much is evident 

Me: I was trying to send one now though. See, now you’re the one who can’t pick up signals 

Daisy: And what signal were you sending me? 

Me: You know you’re making this really difficult right? 

Daisy: Have I not proved that half the time I have no idea what you’re saying or doing? 

Me: Fine. I’ll make it easy. Wednesday was not a date because when we go on a date I want us both to know it’s a date. 

Daisy: But you do… want to go on a date. With me? 

Me: I would love nothing more. 

Daisy: You’re an idiot, you know that.

Me: With all the proof you seem to have that I don’t know what’s going on all the time, you’d think you’d have told me it was a date, you know, so that I knew. 

Daisy: This isn’t even the first time this has happened.

Me: I’m fairly certain this is the first time we’ve had this conversation.

Daisy: Maybe but it’s definitely not the first time i’ve taken you on a not-a-date date before.

Me: Don’t act like I don’t also plan nice shit for you.

Daisy: No you do and that’s worse cause then I have to spend ages trying to see if you realise you just planned us a date.

Me: Well obviously I did not realise. 

Daisy: Obviously 

*Small bit of silence*

Daisy: Just to check, this isn’t just a one time thing right?

Me: What? This conversation or our date that i’m gonna plan, and totally upstage Wednesday by the way, just watch me. 

Daisy: You’re an idiot, I meant the date. I don’t want one date with you and I need you to know that. I know you’ve got a lot going on with your parents and I don’t ever want to seem or feel like some kind of pressure against you so if-

Me: Look, Daisy it’s been made abundantly clear to me by A, all our friends, your mum, a tumblr blog and my professors that I could fuck up us, while trying to deal with my parents. At the end of the day, you’re the person I imagine being by my side for like- forever. And if my parents can’t get that, then they’re the ones who are wrong. 

Daisy: Sorry did you just say, my mum, a tumblr blog and your professor? 

Me: Yeah? 

Daisy: What? 

Me: Well- your mum called me last month with a super cryptic message about her supporting me, and that she’d have my back if I needed a parent and that she “loved us together”. In hindsight  I realise she was trying to hint to me to ask you out. 

Daisy: And the others? You told a blog and one of your professors about me? I thought you used tumblr for your cute Harry Potter obsession.

Me: Oh I do. There’s this blog that answers advice and stuff, I just told them I was in love with you and told them about my parents and stuff and they told me that I need to realise my parents don’t accept me, oh and that I need to ask you out. And technically two of my professors know about you. I told my favourite one, it came up during office hours cause were kinda buddies now and turns out she’s a lesbian, and she’s friends with this other professor and he came in and we all chatted about it for a while. So yeah.

Daisy: Sorry, just back up a second, this blog, you told it- you- you told it you’re in love with me? 

Me: Yeah? 

Daisy: You haven’t told me that yet!? 

Me: Oh- sorry I thought it was obvious. I’m in love with you.

Daisy: I- same I guess. Shit Purple- I am being bombarded with information right now.

Me: Sorry? I can stop. Also, “You guess”? That seems a little offensive. 

Daisy: I love you too. I’m in love with you too. But mine is obvious. I have been obviously in love with you for at least two years.

Me: YOU HAVE? 

Daisy: You didn’t know? 

Me: Clearly I never know. 

Daisy: Yes well i’m starting to realise to what extreme now.

*slight silence*

*laughter*

Me: Holy shit i’m so stupid.

Daisy: We both are. And we thought we were so good at communicating. 

Me: I- I don’t even know what to say. 

*we’re very close to each other now*

Daisy: I don’t have to wait until our first date right? 

Me: Wait? For what? 

Daisy: *rolls her eyes* for you to kiss me idiot.

Me: Oh. No. Unless you want to and then-

Daisy: Shut up.

*We kissssssssss!!!!! Guess what? Heartstopper level fireworks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Called it*

Daisy: Better plan that date fast.

Me: I wish i’d pulled my head out of my ass faster, I can’t take you on a good date right around exams

Daisy: Well then maybe i’ll just have to keep best date title until after uni exams, then you can upstage me.

Me: It’s a draw at best, if we count Wednesday then we have to count when I jumped through hoops to get you those concert tickets, and then went with you and was super enthusiastic at your dance party.

Daisy: You loved that concert. And if you didn’t intend it to be a date, I don’t think it counts. 

Me: I’m pretty sure we’re gonna be in weird water if we try and figure out whether all the shit we’ve done over the years has been dates or not. So, even? 

Daisy: I’m totally winning

Me: I hate you.

Daisy: No you don’t. 

Me: You’re right. I don’t. I love you. So much.

Daisy: Oh my god.

Me: You’re blushing.

Daisy: Shut up! 

Me: I can’t believe I waited so long to tell you. I can’t believe you love me back.

Daisy: Of course I do. 

There was a lot of smiling and giggling and she teased me for singing Chappell Roan at her and I had to tell about your blog and my whole talk with my professors (I don’t remember if I told you about that).

But I have a girlfriend now. AHHHHHHHHHHH (happy excitement btw). 

Ugh this is so great. She’s been watching me write this over my shoulder and been correcting the parts of our conversation I got wrong. She also says i’m cheesy for giving her such a cute nickname and giving A a really basic one.

Also apparently A knows Daisy loves me? She told you, didn’t she? That stupid ask she sent. Damn her.

Anyways, the love of my life is my girlfriend nowwwwwwww!!!!!!!!

I haven’t decided what to do about my parents fully yet. Me and Daisy agreed to keep this between us (and A, and her mum, and you and my professors) during exams and then over the summer we’re gonna tell our friends and i’m gonna tell my parents and deal from there. So we’ll see.

I seriously cannot thank you enough Cas ❤️ (Daisy says your blog is adorable by the way). 

AHHHHHHHH

I need you to know that I went feral when I read this. I told my wife the whole story and she told me I need to get out more, but I'm just so excited for you <3

Also A did tell me Daisy loves you, yeah. I couldn't just tell! You guys had to figure it out on your own, or you'd never be able to communicate!

Sending you guys all the love and keep me updated!

Part 2 Spoilers(technically...)

I woke up today and decided to randomly ship Kwon with Tory and Yoon. Idk why but my brain just told to roll with it. The potential this trio dynamic had in the show was surely missed. Let the rambling commence.

I wish we got a flashback of Tory and Kwon meeting for the first time so we get a snippet of context what their relationship is like Pre-Sekkai. Instead we're supposed to accept their relationship as 'Idk who you are but let's win this thing'. Which isn't bad but we have conflict with this pairing that isn't necessarily taken advantage of.

Tory still has feelings for Robby, feels betrayed after seeing him with Zara and angrily hooks up with Kwon. The sight of her being heartbroken and desperate for affection that Kwon exploits would've been interesting. It creates this awkward cloud of tension between them that leaves Kwon confused she refuses to acknowledge their one night stand. His "I'm above all" mentality gives him this complex that everybody should treat him seriously yet she doesn't and it frustrates him. To her he's just a very loud but obnoxious teammate yet his antics don't bother as much because she has much bigger fish to fry: coping with her mom's death,taking care of her brother,processing her Miyagi-Fang fallout,relationship drama with Robby and winning the Sekkai-Taikai. All of these pressures weigh her tremendously. Kwon was a simple hook up, nothing more. She needs to focus.

The 1 thing Kwon can't do, he's down bad but I digress. My brainrot is simple rot and I feel angry we didn't flesh out this dynamic instead of painfully teasing me with crumbs. 1 arm around shoulder and an almost 'argument to hateful angry sex' isn't enough.

Yoon and Kwon needed moments of bickering like an old married couple so we have the reminder "These two hateee each other but work so well as teammates". Their toxic chemistry deserved to be showcased more with Kwon being the Red Oni(Angry,loud and attention seeking) to Yoon's Blue Oni(Silent,calm and focused).

Yoon hasn't forgotten how Kwon bested him but he respects his tenacity to achieve the goal. Kwon brought out Yoon's killer instinct to never hesitate but attack. He's a "sweetheart" and doesn't take himself seriously, he has to puff his chest out here and there but Kwon is the only one who can see through it. He always does and will always tease Yoon about it. "Not so at top now, are ya?". Yoon isn't so innocent either in the squabbles, he criticizes Kwon prioritizing flashiness over execution. He has the skill and technique yet it isn't good enough for him. He always must put a show on and needs to draw everybody's attention. Yoon notices Kwon is always putting himself out there to give everybody a good look at what he can do. Yoon is frustrated at Kwon's need to always prove himself to others. He knows that feeling all to well and wishes Kwon would wake up from that ideology and be content with his abilities. He would tell him time to time in their very few chill conversations "It doesn't hurt to improve and better, just do it for you." He would do that ever so arrogant laugh and scold him for caring about an enemy. Yet he wasn't an enemy to Yoon anyway. He was just a stubborn teammate that kicked his ass and stole his captaincy. In Kwon's eyes he's a rival that can't wait for their inevitable rematch. Shame it never happened and they never got full closure to their story. Yoon gave Kwon some tough life than got his ass kicked than stayed by his side and lost him all in quick succession.

Tory couldn't believe her heart would feel like a thousand knives cutting it into pieces again. Yet alone over someone she barely knew but built this interesting yet complex relationship in such a short time. He was supposed to be a random pedestal in her journey to win. She wasn't supposed to get hurt again but she did. She couldn't describe what she felt for Kwon or if she knew it was real. She questioned if seeing his lifeless body was just some awful nightmare. She didn't immediately know in that moment and just cried into Robby's arms taking it all in.

And Yoon, oh boy was he absolutely devastated losing Kwon. This is somebody he picked on and carefully lectured about everything he did wrong. The sight of his body is on his hands, if only he controlled him better. If only he stopped him from attacking Sam. If only he gave nicer input, if only he was there for him like last time facing Axel. He should have never left his side and now he's gone. Yoon would have loved to see a softer side of Kwon, he only ever showed that to Tory but that might have been him trying to get laid. He didn't know or care but he was perplexed and wished he could save him in time or prevent him from escalating the brawl. He failed him and was burrowed in guilt,regret and sadness. He couldn't stop his knees from buckling after getting close to enough and the confirmation just was too much for him. He collapsed and cried at the visual of Kwon's lifeless body. He was always hard on because he cared about his success. Everyone else to him was irrelevant, Kwon was the only one to elicit...such excitement. He gave him different feelings and now their all gone. He's gone. He didn't know why or how, just the sad fact that Kwon is dead.

The Gregory Getters [FNAF SB, Renegade AU]

https://www.deviantart.com/paigelts05/art/1064308909

Published: Jun 16, 2024

In the Renegade AU, the Tales books take place in a VR environment and nowhere else. The books were produced in-universe as sanitised lab reports of what happened in the VR environment under the guise of marketable stories.

Lots is altered and left out to push Faz Ent's narrative and discredit any attempts to uncover the filthy truth beneath the surface.

This also included the chaotic escapades of team 'Save Gregory', aka the 'Gregory Getters'. A story warped into the lab report turned tale, GGY.

After Gregory was abducted by a Faz Ent executive from where he and Cassie were hiding out in the megaplex, Cassie formed a team consisting of the only friends she had:

Rachel Collins, the athletic one with a knack for learning new technology, the granddaughter of a security guard fired during the Riot night, a date that lined up to the night after Gregory's kidnapping, and the only person other than Gregory who stuck around for her birthday party, even after it was cancelled due to the sinkhole causing an emergency evacuation of the entire raceway.

Tory Beck, a young boy with a knack for investigating mysteries. Like many of his idols, he is willing to see any story through to the end, no matter what it takes.

Elijah Bronev, the most normal kid you can imagine with a suspicious knack for using many existing proprietary systems that a random child should not be able to get their hands on. Well, normal aside from the fact that he sees all ghosts no matter how hard they hide, and he's not even possessed.

Once the dream team was assembled and decided on the team name "the Gregory Getters", Cassie knew where Gregory was being held and had a plan to get close, and it needed everyone's trust and cooperation, as she would head in first and set everything up. Everyone else was to infiltrate an hour later. Rachel took her grandpa's security badges before sneaking out of the hospital to meet up with the others at the rendezvous point, Elijah reactivated the security badges so the trio could make it into the megaplex and have the clearance to access the objective location, and Tory used maps of the megaplex to get himself, Elijah, and Rachel into the objective location: a room with headsets connected to the VR environment.

Once at the VR room, Cassie was nowhere to be found, but there was a note in her handwriting.

"I let Bill catch me on purpose. It's the only way I can get both physically close to Gregory and to a VR headset with enough backdoors to give you all these backdoors later. They are holding him in the VR environment and are using it to train him to be a killer using what some poor lady was forced to do by Faz Ent's big boss himself as training data.

I'll catch up with you in the VR environment."

So the trio took the plunge, and found themselves in the VR environment.

Cassie's character was a mysterious blonde girl in a pink sweater, Rachel's character was Crystal, Tory's character was Tony, and Elijah's character was Ellis.

Cassie decided to use the name 'Amelia' to keep both her own identity and the identity of the character that she was using a secret.

Once in the VR environment, Cassie explained the second phase of this covert operation: bring Gregory back to reality causing as little suspicion as possible in the process. That meant that they couldn't expose what Faz Ent was training Gregory to do without sufficient evidence either, as it would be taken as either a madman's ramblings or slander, and both would put unwanted eyes on them. But Cassie assured the team that they had plenty of resources: because Faz Ent's VR environment's user base is mostly techies and business majors, they had to have settings to grant themselves extra skills to do the jobs that they either were not permitted to train in, such as detective and journalist, couldn't train in, like medium, couldn't be bothered to train a business major in, like hacker and tinkerer, or couldn't be bothered to train a techie in, like businessman.

The list of possible 'Jobs' was vast, and covered almost all walks of life, from teacher to mafia godfather to mall kiosk employee, and also doubled as a shortcut for giving non-player character AIs the optimal skillets for various jobs, and even included the ability to have what Rachel referred to as a 'Sub-Job'.

It was definitely one way to make sure that this virtual world felt like an actual world and not a vertical slice of silicone valley.

It reminded Rachel of a retro game she had been binging, and she immediately set herself up with tinkerer as her primary job, and hacker as her secondary job. Tory set himself up as a journalist detective as that's what he was good at in the real world. Elijah set himself up as a hacker medium as his ability to see ghosts didn't transfer to the virtual world, and the medium's job outfit was a gaudy enable as oposed to the office clerk or factory worker business casual he expected, and picking hacker simply felt optimal.

Why the journalist job was full of abilities that drain and freeze foes in combat as oposed to actual investigatory skills was beyond what any of the four Gregory Getters were aware of.

Cassie didn't disclose her selection, or if she selected anything at all. She just said that due to the character that she was using, she already had what she needed.

All they had to do now was get Gregory to lure 'Tony' to a megaplex and get him alone. 'Crystal' and 'Ellis' were vital to this, as they'd work on 'agro management', ensuring that Gregory would take note of 'Tony's' investigation, and ensuring that the 'investigation' bore logical fruit. From there, all Tory would have to do is use the skills from his 'journalist' class to freeze Gregory so that Cassie can work whatever magic she had planned to save him from this VR environment.

With Gregory, no, GGY was more accurate, lurred to the megaplex of this VR world, Tony sacrificed his character to freeze GGY in place, and as the auto-log-out-on-death that Cassie had secretly set all of the Gregory Getters equipment with logged him out, he watched as Cassie, Rachel, and Elijah put an end to GGY.

Everyone else logged out the proper way a few minutes later, after Cassie manually logged Gregory out herself.

They succeeded in saving Gregory from the VR environment, but that was only half the extraction complete. Faz Ent was now looking for her and Gregory, and as his rescue rendered him unconscious, there wasn't much Cassie could do. So Cassie stashed the hardly conscious Gregory inside of Freddy's stomach hatch as it was the safest place to stash him; Freddy would be on stage soon, so he'd not be found for at least a while and have time to wake up and acclimate to being awake in the real world so she could safely retrieve him later. However, Freddy shut down on stage upon seeing Rachel, Tory, and Elijah fleeing the building. Cassie was then forced to flee herself, unable to retrieve Gregory due to the commotion.

She met the rest of her team empty handed at the rendezvous point, a graveyard five miles north of the megaplex, an hour later. She explained that she had to hide Gregory inside of a shut down Freddy that was preparing for a show, and that she'd have to go into hiding for a while. The gunshot graze on her leg was evidence enough that she'd made the right call.

This rescue mission and Faz Ent's hubris in attempting to recapture Gregory triggered an event that would later be dubbed "The Breach".

°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•🌹•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°•°°

If this has a good reception I might make a fic to flesh out these events more. If it has a bad reception, I'll make the fic out of spite anyway.

Also, whilst I do have a style for colouring things in the VR environment, this peice does not use that style because it was coloured before I decided on that style change that signifies the VR environment. Though if you want something diegetic, Cassie is really good with makeup and has, on several occasions, suggested dolling everyone up to look like thier VR environment counterparts in order to give the execs that worked on those projects a heart attack.
