When Your Dress Is Too Short (LADS Headcanons)

... And you're late for a party.

☆ Xavier

As soon as you step out the door, Xavier says nothing, but his eyes say A LOT.

“I know, I know, but we’re late! I didn’t think it’d be this short…”

It takes him a little to convince him to get going instead of making you change, but he eventually relents.

He’s standing behind you for the entire function. (Partly for you, and partly to hide the hard-on he’s getting.)

Anybody that dares to take a look is getting death eyes.

He will literally pull your dress down for you during the outing if he sees it’s riding up too much.

Good luck finding that dress afterwards; he’ll get rid of it immediately.

☆ Zayne

“A bold choice.” He points out as soon as you slip into the car.

“Please, Zayne, not now, we’re late!”

“You are correct, and while I’m not complaining, you did just flash me upon entering the car.”

“Zayne!”

Will force you to wear his big ass coat if he has one.

If not, he will also politely stand behind you most of the time and loudly cough if you start to bend down too much.

☆ Rafayel

“What do you think you’re wearing?”

“Rafayel, please, Thomas is going to kill us if we don’t show up to your showcase now!”

Unfortunately, Rafayel would rather drink the whole ocean instead of making you walk out like that.

Literally pulls out some cloth and sewing needle in the car and gets to work.

You’re more comfortable, yes, but Thomas nearly strangled you both since you were 30 minutes late.

Rafayel started getting handsy while modifying your dress, and well, one thing led to another.

☆ Sylus

“Um, Sylus, I think the stylist got my measurements wrong.”

Sylus gives you a look, eyebrows raised. “It’s supposed to look like that.”

“It’s supposed to be this short!? Sylus, if I even so much as tilt, I’ll flash the whole auction.”

“I’d have to outbid everyone for you, after that.” Sylus took a sip of his wine. “Then kill them.”

He’d call the stylist and have them fix it to your liking, although you were an hour and a half late at that point.

Sylus doesn’t mind either way; he likes showing you off, but he also wants you to be comfortable.

[imagine-darksiders]

Tired dad Ulthane and his adventures with the Human Distribution System makes me smile so hard

Whoever was on the Darksiders dev team missed a great opportunity to record ambient voice lines between the humans and Ulthane that play whenever you go to the tree.

Some examples off the top of my head.

"Hey. It's... Ulthane, right? I-I'm Mary."

"Pleasure to make yer acquaintance, Lass."

"Ha... Likewise. Um... Listen, I don't think I ever thanked you... for bringing me to this place. And for, you know, saving my life."

[Suddenly bashful] "Ah, no need to thank me. Just... [clears throat] glad I got to you in time..."

"Yeah... Yeah, me too."

------

"Get out of the way, Ulthane."

"Can't do that, younglin'."

"Bullshit. You can't stop me. I have to go, I can't just sit in this tree while he might still be out there somewhere!"

"If I let you leave this tree, you'll die."

"You don't know that!"

"... And what if he turns up while you're gone? Hm? You think he'd want to find you missin'?"

"Don't do that. Don't use him to make me stay. You don't know what he'd want."

"Would he want you riskin' your life tryin' to find him? Or would he want you to be safe?"

".... I... I.... Oh, Sam."

------

"Hey, how did you get on with that list I gave you?"

"Got most of the stuff on it. The pictures were a nice touch, by the way. Made findin' things a wee bit easier."

"Oh! Well... Happy to help.... So. Um..."

[knowing chuckle] "The supplies are with the other rations, up in the hollow."

"Thanks, Ulthane. You're the best."

"Ach, I don't know 'bout that."

"Literally. The. Best."

------

"Hey you! Giant."

"Tiny."

"Oh, very funny. Say, how come you're not out there searching for more survivors?"

"Just got back. Elanya's goin' out in a bit. Someone's gotta stay behind and protect the tree."

"Some of us can stay and watch it! You should be out there looking for people!"

".... We're doin' everything we can, lad."

"I know!... I.... [muffled sob] I know... I just... I miss her."

"... If she's alive out there, we'll find her."

"Yeah.... sure."

-------

"Hey, big guy? You know there's a demon hanging around right outside the door."

"Aye, I'm keepin' an eye on him. But... if you see him causin' any trouble, you come tell me, got it?"

"Heh. Sure."

-----

"Oi, what's that you've got there?"

"Oh! Um... It's... just a radio... I've been tinkering with it... trying to get it to work. Maybe see if there's anyone else out there... Look. I-I know it's silly, but-"

"No, no, it's not, it's... [deep sigh] Listen, if you... need any help with it, makers are pretty handy. Just have to ask, okay?"

"Oh... Okay. Thanks, Ulthane."

-------

"Still no luck with that... wassit called? A radio?"

"Hmm? Oh... Hi Ulthane. No, no luck yet but... that might just be because they're only able to broadcast on a certain frequency for, like, a few minutes at a time right? Saving power or... something? I-I just need to keep searching."

"Well... All right... But don't stay up too late listen' to it again. You look like you didn't catch a wink o' sleep last night."

"Okay, Dad."

-------

"Say, what happened to your radio?"

"... I tossed it."

"Now why'd you do that?"

"I dunno. Figured it'd be more useful to strip it for spare parts.... I wasn't gonna hear anything on there anyway."

"...Y'know, just 'cause you didn't hear anythin', don't mean nobody's out there."

"..... Hey... Ulthane? Do you think we're gonna be okay?"

"Course you're gonna be okay. You've got me at the helm, don't ya? Old Ulthane's got a plan to set you humans back on track... Just have to trust me, eh?"

"We do trust you. And... thanks. I feel better."

"S'what I'm here for."

-------

[If you find 10 survivors]

"Getting a bit busy in here now, isn't it? A lot of new faces."

"Busy? Hmm. If you need me to carve out another chamber for extra space, I can-"

"-No! Ulthane, that's not... It's okay. I wasn't complaining. Busy is good. I prefer busy."

"... Aye, I'm with you there."

-------

[If you find all the survivors]

"I can't believe there's so many of us now! I didn't think this many people would have survived!"

"Mmhm, the Horseman's been busy. S'nice to have a lot of wee ones knockin' about the tree."

"You make us sound like a bunch of children."

[Gentle laugh] "If you knew how old I was, Lad, you'd feel like a bunch of children."

[whimsical-roasting]

You reblogged that Sam gifs post and it reminded me of that headcanon i have of being Sam’s friend but you’re feisty and take no one’s shit. Like he’s always takes the high road and you’re like when they go low i go lowER. I would fight that Akufo dude for him no questions asked.

hi wifey <3 you are absolutely right!! i fucking love that idea of Sam having a bestie who'd throw hands for him.. it's on sight all the time.

special thanks to @sokkigarden for bouncing ideas off me, love you bby. okay, i wanna write about being friends w the AFC Richmond boys more, so if yall have ANY thoughts on being friends with ANY of the lads then send me requests on it so we can DISCUSS

OKAY BUT BEING BESTIES WITH SAM OBISANYA

he's such a wholesome and loyal friend... a breath of fresh air yknow?? Dani is more of that 'unconditional sunshine' energy, but Sam is positive whilst still keeping it real w you

and sooo you're hella loyal to him too. well, you're loyal to everyone you care about. you'd take a bullet for them, no questions asked, but probs a lot of cussing involved (same, but i'll come back to this)

sharing an airpod each if yall go out on a walk or join the team on a bus ride - if you're dating jamie then he NEEDS you next to him on the ride back, probs uses your shoulder to sleep on and has an arm around your waist so you can't leave, but that's a diff post ahahaha

having a shared spotify playlist that you both keep adding music too...the vibes are all over the place. "Y/N, I was trying to jam out to J.Cole, and then Adele came on??" "Oh yea, I was sad bout something earlier"

blanket forts and microwaveable caramel popcorn for when he's missing home

playing as him in FIFA when you're with the lads and yellin "YEA THATS MY BESTIE" every time you score as him

pinching his earlobes like his dad would for good luck on the days of a big match/when he's really nervous

since opening OLA'S, you join him when he attends small business owner conventions, but that's mainly to try the free food

since i'm vegetarian, telling him that his menu looks great but you can only stick to sumn like the jollof rice.. so next month when he invites you over to his restaurant for a catchup dinner there's a whole new lil section for vegetarian dishes on the menu (or whatever dietary inclusivr thingy etc.)

warning Sam about Afuko because "a man simply doesn't feed you pasta and lobster and send you a stack without something in mind" and him being like ??? what and you groan, "did you watch the tiktoks I sent you??"

hearing about how the Afuko rejection went and Sam only focusses on "he called me medium talent??" and you're SEETHING

you're like "what the living F U C K" and he's like "oh hey Y/N, don't worry, I know I am not medium talent" and you're like "what? no, shut up, obviously not, but that's not the POINT here. how did that ASSHOLE have the audacity to speak to you like that?!!"

you're searching up flights to Nigeria and opening a google map from the airport to Afuko's business residence or something, and Sam is like, "seriously, forget that guy. bullet dodged." and you're angrily muttering about how Afuko's gonna have to dodge the bazooka you're gonna smuggle onto the plane

"We cannot be best friends if you end up in jail because you tried to smuggle a bazooka onto the plane." "I just wanna talk to him...with a bazooka." "No." "Pleas-" "No."

telling Sam you might be getting feelings for Jamie and being nervous he'd be mad because of their relationship in S1, but you promise he's changed, and Sam is like, I know

wearing the Obisanya jersey and the rest of the boys are like 'hey why don't you ever support our merch' so like every match you're switching out jerseys before texting a pic to the groupchat

running into that Francis guy who's Afuko's right-hand man and "accidentally" stepping on his foot real hard like OOPS

giving him updates on your love life and vice versa. "Y/N, please tell me this one is not a loser." "Um, Sam, shut up; you know my rizz only seems to work on losers??" "hey, Jamie told me that telling a woman my favourite movie is Ratatouille is a bad idea... is it?" "just bake her a lasagna or something and say that's how you learnt to cook." "I am not doing that." "dammit, I thought we'd get lasagna for dinner"

doing random tiktok trends or challenges - the baking one where one person is blind, one is deaf, and one is mute, but they all gotta work together to bake a cake!! sam (tape around his mouth) x you (blindfolded) x jamie (loud ass headphones on)

jamie: pass the FOOKIN sugah!! *back turned to yall as he stirs the mix*

you: WHAT. WHERE. *randomly smacking shit, picking up the salt and dropping it on the counter and onto a spoon*

sam: mmmhnph! *waving his hands in your face like NO but you can't see*

you: *turning to jamie with a spoonful, which he probs tastes absentmindedly whilst stirring* OI TASTE THIS

jamie: FOOKS SAKE

Disclaimer: fuck real regulations on trophy’s and stuff for fifa, honestly players should get trophy’s (is that a hot take? i’m sorry if it is honestly tell me XD)

Song rec: FIFAe Theme by FIFA sound …. teeheee~😘✨

Cheers from the crowd and your team defen you, confetti falls from somewhere above.

Below you feel the many arms holding you up, as you hoist the trophy over your head.

You’re filled with the adrenaline left over from the game, so your hands are shaking against the gold, but nobody will notice that.

The audience roars and stomps in the stands around you, the very earth rumbles to applaud your victory.

As you’re paraded back to the locker rooms, a news reported stops the crowd beneath you, and gets them to let you down.

Before they begin recording they pat your face dry with a fresh towel and give you a water bottle, you hand the trophy to a team member to hold, when they stop you from actually letting it go.

“Wait, you should def’ be holding the trophy for the interview.”

“Right, sorry, hah” You apologize out of habit probably(am i the only one? i cant be. XD)

“Sall good, now, roll!” they say to the cameras behind them.

“Today we’re here with Y/N, Y/L/N, after he’s won the cup! First question of course, is how are you feeling after dominating the field today?” they hold out the mic for you to speak in.

“Elated.” You beam at them and into the camera, a smile envelops every aspect of your face. This is your time.

“I bet! You had an amazing game! Now onto the question everyone wants to know…” They pause, and hold an earpiece, listening intently at the other end, for a second, then, they nod and say: “So, what’s the real secrete behind that collar?”

Your heart, and face fall.

For a brief second you freeze, stuttering and blubbering nonsense before your brain’s wires finally reconnect, “It used to be my dog’s, and uh now it’s my good luck charm.”

You managed to save it, the reporter puts a hand over their heart and “Awww’s” at the camera, “Now that is so sweet, isn’t it everyone at home?”

Thankfully, you’ve made it into the safety of the locker room, and most everyone has already changed and was waiting for you to get back there.

An eerie silence falls over them all when you do however.

You feel it in your bones that now they’re going to ask. That’s why they hushed up, and are all quietly staring at you.

Before you can take no more anticipation and almost turn around to shout at them to just ask the damn question already, you feel a hand come down hard on your shoulder.

Your eyes fly open wide in fear.

Behind you, your teammate’s voice comes out more light hearted than you expected, “Congrats on the game today man! You did awesome!”

“Hey!” You smile back, “It was a team effort!” Your hand comes up to meet his as you turn around and bring him into a shoulder bump.

He broke the tension that was making the air in the room stale and unbearable. He saved you from further embarrassment.

“Okay now what’s the real deal with the fuckin collar” a mate with a medal asks.

You let out a shakey breath,

Shit.

“Uh, It’s uh… Um…. Lu—!!!!” You flinch as the coach startled you now, his hand suddenly clasped almost too tightly on your shoulder, you think he’s trying to be reassuring, but your heart is pounding in your ears.

“Alright lads, move on out. I need a word with our star.” His baritone is somewhat calming, and the fact that he’s stopping that conversation from happening…

Again.

“Thanks coach,”you grin sheepishly.

he looks at you like a good father would, caringly, “listen, son, I don’t really care that you wear it, but i won’t be able to help everytime, just like with that interview. Ya did good,” he sighs in a drained pause, “i just don’t know about your girlfriend.”

At first you’re offended, you know she’s a little unorthodox, but she’s so sweet! in more ways than one.

Your face feels hot for a second and you reach up to ruffle your hair as a distraction. Cant pop a boner in front of your coach now, c’mon man! “I don’t know what t’say, coach…”

“Just, take care of yourself.”

~

Her manor is the most picturesque autumn scene you could ever see. Pumpkins now sit atop hay ales, and her wild flowers are now all shades of orange and gold. The vines that had grown up the trellis and up the white bricks of her home are now sporting blood red leaves.

inside her room, she lays on her bed stomach down, idly playing with your hair as you sit on the floor in front of her. She has a projector playing old youtube videos, but you don’t mind as much as you thought you would with her around.

“You did so good today, you were so hot out on the field and in your interview.

You turn fast enough to give yourself whiplash, “You aren’t mad?” You heart thrums to life, a slight pain squeezes it.

“Nope! I’m proud of you, Y/N!”

You feel the mattress flex against your back as Lucy starts to get up.

She grabs your hands, entwinand guides you up to your feet, spinning you both around so that you’re in between her and the bed.

Her tiny hand lays flat on your chest, and gently pushes you down onto the fluffy pink covered mattress. Her other hand cups your crotch, and rubs you through your jeans.

Your face is already hot, even just from the look in her eyes. the way she keeps glancing down at your lips, and back up to your eyes.

She’s blushing as she starts lowering herself seductively, trailing her hands down your body, eliciting shivers. Her teeth pull her bottom lip up slightly, she can barley contain herself.

She takes her time popping open your pants button, and she’s even more painfully slow when unzipping your pants.

Your hips push up, trying to get some friction where you’re desperate for it.

She bites her lip harder watching you, and pulls her hands away.

“Next time tell the news the real reason” She smiles deviously.

“What?!”

“What?” She mimics with a shrug. “You’re Mine. Now let me take care of you~”

In a millisecond your cock is out, half chub standing it up with a tilt, and almost ready for her.

She licks her lips, and her eyes widen, like she’s sizing up a delicious meal.

What to taste first?

Well she decides fast, her mouth in a relaxed and cute “o” as she brings her hot tongue to your tip.

Licking, before lightly hollowing her cheeks and sucking gently on you.

When she pulls back her lips are already glistening.

She picks it up in her hand, and looks up at you as she licks a stripe up from the base back up to the tip. After that she plunges you all the way into her throat, gagging a little, and spitting around you, she pulls back and starts bobbing her head.

Then she pulls her top down and rests her voluptuous tits on your lap, her pink nipples are perked up, and the urge to touch them is almost too much to bear.

Her hands are on your hips to keep you in place but you struggle against her.

Your fists ball up in the blankets at your sides. “Mmf! haah! Lucy! please!”

She gags again around you, her throat contracts and you can feel her tongue swirling around your shaft, when she pulls away she keeps just your head in her mouth, keeping you inside her for as long as she can always.

Her mouth opens wider around you with her tongue lolling under you, so that you just lay there in her mouth for a second as she gasps for air.

Her hot breaths cover you in hot intervals with the frigid air that mix and give you chills.

Her big brown eyes are teary now, you reach out to wipe one, and she lets you with a soft, giddy smile.

She spreads your legs wider so that she can get closer, you look at her quizzically until she lifts her chest and puts your cock between her bosom.

It’s a whole new feeling, now the underside of you is being stimulated in a nice way, her chest is so soft and squishy. Her mouth remains firmly around your tip, sucking and licking as she fucks you with her chest.

Her tits look so good around your cock. Your hips buck as you get closer, and now she can’t hold you down since her hands are occupied.

You start to fuck her back, chasing your imminent high. She squeezes and sucks harder and harder until you release and she swallows most of it, until she pulls away and lets some of your cum drip down her chin.

Do you want to paint her?

You definitely can’t wait to be stuffed inside her pretty pink pussy again. Thinking about it might even keep you hard.

Especially that she’s using her breasts now to pump and milk all that was left inside you, and it’s dribbling down to her nipples making the most amazingly indecent scene before you.

(A/N, i hope this is still decent!!! i am depressed and dying and idek hope ya had fun!!!! 🙈✨)

Isabell and the Lads CH2: The Healing Process (2.3)

Writing Masterpost First Part| Last Part| Next Part Word Count: ~2.4k Warnings: Blood Mention

---

Marcus sets her down on the coffee table, carefully sliding her off of his palm. He sets her climbing hook down next to her before withdrawing his hands slowly. His blue eyes look her over, and he frowns when he sees the fresh blood seeping through her bandages.

“I’m sorry,” he says quietly, “about… all of this,” he adds. “With the dollhouse, I just wanted to make staying here as comfortable for you as possible. I thought that having somewhere you can go where things are basically your size… I thought that would be nice, I guess. I didn’t think about how… I just… I didn’t think. So… yeah. I’m sorry.”

“It’s… fine,” she says looking up at him. She was glad to be out of his hands, but now she has to look up at him, this feels almost worse. Even sitting down on the floor, his torso forms a solid wall in front of her. There is just no escaping how big these humans are. It feels like every time she looks up at one of them her heart stutters all over again, she doesn’t think she could ever get used to that.

And she isn’t going to have to. She assures herself.

As soon as she can climb, she’s out of here. As long as she can avoid being put in a cage, or a jar, she knows she’ll be able to escape.  She’ll be able to go home and pretend that this was all just a bad dream.

Zeke returns, a bundle of supplies in his arms. He sets everything down, arranging it all methodically on the coffee table, Marcus swipes the objects that he needs, chattering on about how they can try to make some supplies for her, to make things easier without having to use the dollhouse. Zeke mostly ignores him, but Isabell can see the way his brows twitch up, and how his eyes shift to his roommate every time he disturbs the supplies he’s laid out.

“Let me see your leg,” Zeke says evenly, she nods, her breath catching when his focus slides to rest solely on her.

Zeke’s eyes trace over the blood seeping through the bandages, his mouth presses flat in response. They only changed these a few hours ago, it can’t be a good sign that they’re already changing them again. With any luck, her stitches will be fine. She does not want to go through that process again.

His hands drift forward, and she can’t stop herself from sucking in a tense breath and holding it. Hands might forever be the bane of her existence. Fingers as long as she is tall, grabbing, pinching, squeezing. The sight of his hands reaching for her sparks a tessellation of memories to shatter across her mind.

Hands, shoving into her cramped hiding spaces, groping around blindly.

Hands capturing her roughly in a too tight fist.

Hands ripping open floorboards, wedging behind shelves, pulling away large furniture items.

Hands spreading her limbs, toying with her, bending her the wrong ways.

She knows he’s gentle, he’s done all this before and nothing like that happened. But it is still nerve wrecking to sit there and just let him touch her.  That goes against everything she is, everything she’s ever been taught.

“Your leg?” His voice brings her back to reality. She blinks, realizing suddenly her eyelashes are heavy with tears. She blinks them away rapidly, but there’s no hope of the human missing that. He's so observant it seems like he catches everything. His hand still hovers before her, his fingers shift as he fidgets with his empty hand. His eyes flick to hers, searching her face. He’s trying to help her, and she’s panicking about his hand. He hadn’t even touched her yet.

She can’t say her plan of making the humans think she trusts them is starting off very strong. So far, she’s had two, maybe three botched escape attempts, she’s panicked about a doll house, and she’s panicked about a hand being sort of near her. She needs to pull herself together before they put her back in the damn box.

“Sorry,” she says softly, quickly wiping her eyes. “Um I—” she doesn’t have an excuse, or an explanation for him. Not about this, not about the dollhouse. Not one that doesn’t involve her telling them about her entire life story. Considering how her throat is closing around her simple apology, she can’t imagine even attempting an explanation like that. “Go ahead,” she says with a sharp nod

Zeke doesn’t seem to respond, aside from letting go of a small sigh. He fiddles with his lip piercing and his brow pinch together, and his hand begins to slowly close the distance between them. She squeezes her eyes shut and turns her face away. His warm fingertip brushes against her leg. It doesn’t hurt, but she balls her hands into tight fists beside herself. She clenches her teeth and just repeats, you’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay inside her mind until he finishes taking care of her leg.

As soon as Zeke is finished, he silently collects the first aid kit, and walks off without sparing her a glance. Isabell takes a deep breath and inspects his handiwork. The bandage is neat and clean. He has incredible dexterity for someone of his size.

“While you’re up, grab a hot glue gun,” Marcus calls after him. He’s holding the remote and is preoccupied with something on the TV. He seems wholly unperturbed by Zeke’s cold nature. She wonders if that means that she shouldn’t read too much into it, or if Marcus is simply in his own world. Maybe both of those things could be true. “Have you ever seen The Lord of the Rings?” he asks her. She doesn’t know what that is, so she just shakes her head. “Hm. Okay,” he says with a frown and a determined nod, “We’ll be fixing that,” he turns back to the TV. “You know, just so we’re clear here, I’m considering you my third roommate.” He grins a bold toothy smile down at her. “Zeke probably won’t say it, but I know he feels the same way too,” Marcus leans in, dropping his voice to a playful stage whisper, “He doesn’t like talking about his feelings, but he has them. Don’t let him fool you,” he chuckles sitting upright once more. “But seriously, I don’t want you to worry about us thinking you’re,” he grimaces, unable to bring himself to say what he’s thinking. A toy, a pet, He redirects instead, “I don’t want you to worry. You’re our roommate, nothing less. Cool?”

“I…” She knows that she could never truly be their roommate. Living out in the open, existing in the same space as humans comfortably? As if. But this is a step in the right direction. They wouldn’t lock a roommate up in a jar. But of course, she hasn’t entirely ruled out the possibility that he’s telling her what she wants to hear, just like she’s doing for them. So, she quickly redirects her words, “I don’t even have a job,” she says quietly. Marcus’s brow pinches together in response.

“You… what?” he asks with a chuckle, caught off guard by her statement.

“I don’t have a job!” She repeats, “I don’t have money, I can’t go to the store or help with chores or do anything. Zeke told me about all of that human stuff today. How am I supposed to be your roommate if all you’re doing is taking care of me the whole time?” She frowns.

“Hey, that doesn’t matter,” he says, gesturing with the remote as he speaks, “Your job right now is just to rest and heal, alright? After that, we can figure something out. If you want some kind of chore, or job, or way to pay rent to make you feel better, then sure, you got it. That’s if you decide you want to stick around, of course. We just need to make sure your leg gets better first, Okay?” Marcus offers an encouraging smile. She finds herself awestruck by his confidence. He’s so sure that everything is going to be alright. His expression wraps a fuzzy warmth around her, like he’s just wrapped her in a blanket.

“Okay,” she says, a small smile spreading across her own face despite herself. This human is all too good at this game. Marcus turns his attention back to the TV.

Zeke returns not too long after that, settling back down on the floor beside Marcus. It’s obvious that he’s trying not to stare at her. After handing Marcus the hot glue gun, his eyes flick across the table, landing on just about everything else, except for her. Ultimately, he finds nothing to keep his attention, and settles for looking down at his hands.

“Zeke, she’s never seen The Lord of the Rings,” Marcus states, “Can you believe that?” He looks at him incredulously.

“When would she have seen… any movie?” Zeke returns, looking up to raise a brow in Marcus’ direction.

“That’s… huh. You have a point,” Marcus murmurs, then after a pause, he starts the movie and hands Zeke a bag of doll clothes. Zeke’s shoulders relax as he’s given a task to keep himself occupied

“What do you think?” Marcus asks, his attention turns back to her now that he’s laid out all of their craft supplies.

“This is…” She shakes her head, taking a second to truly look over all of the supplies they set out. She finds herself once again unable to find the right words, “this is… amazing,” she breathes the word, awestruck. She has access to everything she could ever need, right here. Typically, she can only work with things she can find. Things that humans wouldn’t miss. And of course, things she’s able to carry back with her. Objects that check all those boxes are unsurprisingly fairly difficult to find. But in a matter of minutes, the humans have placed an endless world of possibilities right in front of her.

A chill breaks through her excitement. All it costs her is her dignity and her freedom. Her smile faulters.

Marcus is beaming, obviously pleased that she’s finally starting to look happy. Zeke steals glances at her, looking up from his task of seam ripping the Velcro away from the doll garments.  Even he has a ghost of a smile playing across his lips.

The humans are pleased. They like that they did something to make her happy. She’s on the right track.  She shoves all other thoughts from her mind.

“You’re big into crafting then?” Marcus asks.

“I kind of have to be,” she says with a short laugh. “Everything I have, I have to make it out of repurposed human things. It’s my favorite part though. It’s like solving a puzzle,” she pauses, right, borrowing is generally frowned upon in the human world. They call it stealing or thief-ing something like that. “um, I only take things that wouldn’t be missed though,” she adds quickly. “And if I do find something really good, I try to repay the favor. Y-you know uh just little things. A trinket for a trinket. Or maybe a small repair like a torn curtain or a watch or… I don’t know stuff like that, it kind of depends on the human. But, um I don’t just take stuff.”

“It sounds like you’re basically a professional,” Marcus comments,

“I guess,” Isabell says with a shrug, thankful that he didn’t hang on the part about her taking stuff. She tries to remember if she’s ever gotten anything really good from this apartment. Something they might be sour about losing. She can’t come up with anything off the top of her head. “I’ve got some pretty cool things I’ve made back in my room. I’d show you but you wouldn’t be able to fit.” a playful grin spreads across her face as she talks.

“You’ll just have to recreate some of it, show me what you’ve got,” Marcus matches her energy effortlessly.

Everyone works in a comfortable quiet, with the movie playing on in the background. Zeke focuses on adjusting some of the doll clothes, Marcus is opening packages of little furniture and plates, doll things. Once he’s finished with that, they take stock of what they have. They have a lot of the basics covered. could stand to make a little kitchen and some other odds and ends, like a bookshelf. Marcus asks if he can help her with anything. She agrees, delegating to him the task of cutting popsicle sticks.

“You weren’t kidding, you’re really good at this stuff,” Marcus comments when the bookshelf they’re making is nearly complete.

“Like I said, I just have some experience,” she says, looking up at him.

“This is like, carpenter level stuff though. It’s seriously impressive,” he leans in close to inspect her handywork.

“Thanks. I- well, I was going to say I can typically work a little faster when it doesn’t hurt to stand, but actually, since you were cutting things for me, I think that might have made up for the lost time,” she says, moving herself over to her new couch.

“I’m glad I could help,” he says, watching the limp in her step and glancing over to Zeke, “Is your leg feeling alright?” he asks.

“I’m fine. I think I just need to take a break,” she sits down. For being doll furniture, the couch is surprisingly comfortable. As soon as she’s sitting, the exhaustion she’s been ignoring pounces on her, like it was waiting for her to let her guard down.  

“A break sounds good to me,” Marcus says, standing and stretching.

His full height towers over her, and she thought the sight of him sitting in front of her had been intimidating. Her heartbeat speeds up, dredging the last remaining ounces of adrenaline up to fight off her exhaustion once more. It feels like a losing battle, and she’s left feeling jittery and sluggish all at once. She would love to be able to close her eyes and sleep all of this off. She would love it even more if she could wake up already back home in the safety of the walls. But she knows that’s not going to happen. And she knows she doesn’t have a chance of getting any kind of sleep while there are humans there to watch her.

“Do you want a snack or something?” Marcus asks, already making his way to the kitchen.

“Okay.” She mumbles, though it’s likely that Marcus didn’t hear her. He was going to make a snack regardless.

Hidden Gem Friday

We're back on Hidden Gem Friday lads! How is it Friday again :OOOOO As always I'm still taking recs for these! You can even send them anonymously if you like (That's how I got one o them today!!)

Someone's a Cuddler by not_a_smooth_man recced to me by the author on anon! 6.7k words (COMPLETE) Steddie- Eddie Centric

Summary:

That morning, though, Eddie came to following what was truly a deep, dreamless sleep. He was cocooned by a warmth that was lulling him into a wakeful state. As he regained consciousness, he began to realize that his left arm was numb, trapped under something warm and heavy. He also noticed that his head was perched on said heavy thing, rising and falling gently. That was the moment Eddie finally realized that he was cuddling Steve’s chest. And oh, not just Steve’s chest, but his bare chest. He had wrapped his arms entirely around him, their legs tangling under the thick comforter. Steve’s body must have responded in their sleep because his arms were draped over Eddie’s form. And because it was just his luck, it seemed that Steve was waking up too. “Mmh,” grunted Steve. He yawned. “Morning,” he said, muffled by Eddie’s hair. “Um.” Eddie said intelligently. Eddie felt Steve chuckle, his chest vibrating with the sound. “Someone’s a cuddler,” Steve said, a hint of teasing in his voice, still heavy with sleep. - Or, Eddie Munson is in love with Steve and accidentally cuddles with him.

My Thoughts:

Okay I really enjoyed this one! It has so much sentiment in it but it isn't saccharine? And I feel like this could have very easily gotten very cheesy but not in the good way. I love cheese, but some cheese is a no. I'm digressing but yes this just felt very nice when you're reading it. It's a trope I've seen used a lot, but I'm never disappointed to read it again, and this is a super cute version of it. I love that you sent it to me dear author!!! Techhhhnically it's not exactly a Hidden Gem because it was only published a few days ago, BUT the author asked me if I could tell people about their fic, so since it's under 2k I thought I would put it in here

A Life For Every Year (And One For After) by Kedreeva recced by me but initially shown to me by @horsegirleddiemunson! 4.7k words (Complete) Generic with Steve & Jonathan at core

Summary:

Steve meets her when he is nine years old. She is skin and bones, and fits in the cup of his hands like a tiny, furry tennis ball and her purr rattles against the skin of his palms. ---- Or, the one where baby Steve adopts the same stray kitten as baby Jonathan.

My Thoughts:

Ough THIS FIC. Okay first off I'll just say I LOVE when people take advantage of canon location settings and the fact that Steve and Jonathan lived in the same woods (and probably ran into those woods to escape from their terrible houses a lot if Castle Byers is any indication) is soooooooo yes The way this is written is so. It just feels good. Like so much of it is heartbreaking (the dog, the moment with Steve explaining why he got Daisy spayed, the Max and Daisy) but it's so heartwarming too. I just really enjoyed reading it, and I loved the reread. It has less than 500 hits and that's simply incomprehensible to me

This Is Why I Need You by beestlesandstars recced by me 3k words (Complete) Stobin Platonic Background Steddie

Summary:

It’s three AM and Robin is trying to remember how Steve liked his coffee.

My Thoughts:

Okay so I have not read this elusive glasses fic that apparently everyone has based fics off of, but I have read this one and it hurt me sm. I've written about one of the duo dying but Robin and not Steve, so seeing it flipped is OUCH. It just gives you that weird hollow chest feeling right before tears? Augh anyway painful but I love it . V V V Good and a super short read because you just flow with it

It's a Date by FeatherForARose aka @steddiealltheway also recced by me 2.7k (Complete)- Steddie w some side Stobin

Summary:

Everyone knows that Eddie is into Steve. It's common knowledge like saying the sky is blue. Only Steve is hesitant to believe it, but when he finally makes a move, it does not go as planned.

My Thoughts:

Omg I read this on Tumblr so long ago and then I found it on ao3 and died reading it all over again. I love common tropes, but I ADORE when writers subvert them. Eddie who didn't know he was gay? Eddie who saw his QPR in Chrissy and didn't realize it wasn't just a crush like Steve didn't realize? ITS SO Augh the recreation of the failed first attempt? Steve using anger as a shield for being upset? Okay I'm just saying plot points but seriously this fic is just such an enjoyable experience from start to finish. Also great characterization of everyone involved :DDD

does it get any easier? by vissers recced by me 5.7k (Complete) Get Dustin and Will w some Dustin and Mike and Dustin and Max

Summary:

“It’s nothing special, just—“ Will began, fighting against the smile that was brewing on his face. He paused, biting down on his lip and squeezing his eyes shut for just a second. “God, this is really embarrassing. We’ve been talking about this dumb crush I have. Among other things, obviously, but… yeah.” If the world hadn’t already been rocked by that giant fucking ‘earthquake’, the prospect of Will Byers having a crush would have had the same effect. Dustin was sure of it. --- Dustin and Will talk D&D, PTSD, and unfortunate crushes.  (part two of will coming out to the party)

My Thoughts:

Oh my goddddddd. YOU GUYS KNOW I love my boys but damn if party centric fics don't just get me right in my heart. This one is so well done with the characters. They feel like themselves, they joke, they get annoyed, and this is a really good Dustin Centric. It deals with his PTSD about Eddie, and there's all these little details thrown in that are clearly put there with such care but only make the story more intricate. It's so well written, and I love Will here and I just. Yeah read this read it nowwww

@inblazes - Sometimes... The kid looked lonely. Typically, Diluc sees little reason to interfere -- it's not his business, and they don't know one another that intimately. Personally, he's never fully appreciated people poking their nose into his own life, so by that same logic, he should afford others the same courtesy. But he couldn't help himself today, watching as Bennett visibly sunk when he believed he had a moment alone -- and he curses his treacherous feet as he traverses the city streets to close the gap between them, hands sunk deep into his pockets. And he just... Stands at his side, too awkward to point out the obvious truth that something was clearly on his mind, and not wanting to pry if it was too personal. Instead, he breaks the ice by offering him dinner. "You hungry? I am, but I don't feel like eating a whole meal to myself." That was a lie; he would much prefer a solo trip to Good Hunter, and could devour a shocking amount of food on his own, in the privacy of his own home... But Bennett didn't need to know that. Diluc looks away, quietly preparing himself for rejection. After all, it's not as if the two of them are close friends. Or even all that close in personality. But he could not -- in good conscience, at least -- leave the lad to stew in his own thoughts when he looked so sad. "...How about it? Care to join me?" \ unprompted ask

( 🩹 ) GLOVED WRISTS NUDGE at his nose as it burned , the proximity of tears beginning to threaten to spill over after the pure and utter failure of trying to adventure with others of the guild. once again he'd brought bad luck to the small group ( he didn't know why he even tried ) and had almost been left behind in the process.

THE TREK BACK hadn't been any easier as he had dawdled behind so the three others could be safe up ahead of him ; though this was naught a decision that he made himself but . . one that was requested that he smiled through and followed through with. loneliness tugged at his heart as he had been ultimately dumped at the base gate of mondstadt -- and he tried his best to ignore the cautionary gaze from one of the knights.

( ITS NOT HIS fault. please stop looking at him like that )

HE DOESN'T NOTICE that he had approaching company due to where his mind was until diluc spoke , almost jumping on the spot as diluc spoke to him. eyes that were eerily alike to a certain blunette if not for the color themselves found themselves staring wide up at the wine tycoon.

HE BLINKS , CONFUSED as he looked around the both of them , assuming that there'd been a mistake and he wasn't at all talking to him. pointing at himself as if he was now in trouble but he relaxed , nodding a little bit.

❛ UM . . I WOULD like that , sure ! just . . i shouldn't be the one making it if you intended to make something . . i'd just probably make you sick. ❜

. Opening Image: Reference: "(500) Days of Summer" (2009)

(Girl misses the elevator)

Girl: (Panting) "Of course, the one time I’m actually on time... Just my luck."

Boy: (Holding the elevator button too late) "Uh, sorry... I... didn’t see you in time."

Girl: (Laughing it off) "No worries. It’s like the universe is telling me to slow down."

2. Theme Stated: Reference: "Notting Hill" (1999)

(Boy helps her catch the next elevator)

Boy: (Awkwardly) "Do you, um... need help with anything? I mean, if you’re in a rush?"

Girl: (Smiles warmly) "That’s sweet, but I think I’m beyond saving today."

Boy: (Chuckles) "I know the feeling."

3. Set-Up: Reference: "(500) Days of Summer" (2009)

(Awkward but sweet interaction in the elevator)

Boy: (After a long pause, stammering) "So... uh, you just moved in, right? Which floor?"

Girl: (Nods) "Yeah, fifth floor. Still getting used to the place. You?"

Boy: (Looking down) "Seventh. It’s... quieter up there, I guess."

Girl: "I bet. The walls on the fifth floor? Paper thin. I hear everything."

(Girl asks if he plays music)

Girl: (Noticing his guitar case) "Is that yours? You play?"

Boy: (Nods) "Yeah, just for fun. Mostly to unwind after work."

Girl: "That’s cool. I love music... even though I’m tone-deaf."

Boy: (Smirking) "Somehow I doubt that."

4. Music Connection: Reference: "(500) Days of Summer" (2009)

(Girl and Boy bond over music in the elevator)

Girl: "I love The Smiths."

Boy: [Surprised] "Sorry?"

Girl: "I said, I love The Smiths. You... you have good taste in music."

Boy: [A bit shyly] "Oh, thanks."

Girl: [Sings along] "To die by your side, such a heavenly way to die."

(Girl smiles and exits the elevator, leaving Boy stunned.)

5. Set-Up Continued:

(Girl struggles with vacuum cleaner at home)

Girl: (On the phone) "No, it’s not the cord. I checked. This thing is ancient, probably older than I am."

Friend on Phone: "Get a new one, seriously."

Girl: (Sighs) "Can’t afford it right now. Guess I’m stuck with this piece of junk."

6. Catalyst: Reference: "The Lunchbox" (2013)

(Boy helps fix the girl's vacuum cleaner)

Boy: (After successfully fixing it) "There, good as new. Well, almost."

Girl: (Grinning) "You’re like my hero right now. Seriously, thank you."

Boy: (Blushing) "It was nothing, really. Just needed a little tweaking."

Girl: "You saved me from a dust storm. I owe you one."

7. Debate: Reference: "Begin Again" (2013)

(They work on a song together)

Boy: (Playing a melody) "How does this sound to you? Too upbeat?"

Girl: (Closes her eyes, listening) "No, it’s perfect. It’s like... hopeful, you know?"

Boy: (Nods) "Exactly what I was going for. You’ve got a good ear."

Girl: (Smirking) "Told you, not tone-deaf."

(Boy has a flashback of playing music alone)

Boy: (Flashback) [In his room, alone, playing a melancholy tune on the guitar.] (Sighs, to himself) "It’s just me and you, old friend."

8. Break into Two: Reference: "Sing Street" (2016)

(They make a CD)

Girl: (Looking at the CD cover they designed) "We actually did it. This is... kinda amazing."

Boy: (Proudly) "Yeah, it feels real now, doesn’t it?"

Girl: "More than real. We should do this more often."

Boy: (Smiling) "Absolutely. We’re a good team."

(Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) and his bandmates are in a makeshift recording studio, setting up their instruments. Raphina (Lucy Boynton) watches from the side, curious and supportive.)

Conor: "Alright, this is it, lads. Let’s give it everything we’ve got."

Eamon: "What’s this one called again?"

Conor: "‘The Riddle of the Model.’ It’s about Raphina." (He glances at Raphina, who smiles back.)

Eamon: "Cool. Let’s do this."

(The band starts playing. Conor leads with the vocals, and the rest of the band follows with enthusiasm, though a bit rough around the edges. As they get into the groove, their confidence builds.)

Conor: [Singing] "She’s standing on the corner, like an angel in disguise..."

(Raphina watches, moved by the dedication and emotion in Conor’s performance. The band’s sound comes together, and they start to find their rhythm. The camera pans around the room, capturing the energy and passion of the young musicians as they create something new.)

(After the take, the band finishes with a flourish, and everyone in the room feels the electricity of the moment.)

Conor: [Breathless, grinning] "That was amazing. We actually did it!"

Eamon: "Not bad for a first go, right?"

Raphina: [Smiling] "You guys were brilliant."

Conor: "Thanks. But it’s just the beginning. We’ve got so much more to do."

9. B Story: Reference: "Eighth Grade" (2018)

(Kayla records a vlog about being herself)

Kayla: "Hey guys, it’s Kayla, back with another video. So, um... today I wanted to talk about being yourself, and, like, how hard that can be sometimes."

(She pauses, gathering her thoughts.)

Kayla: "You know, people always say, 'Just be yourself,' but, like, what if you don’t even know who that is yet? I mean, I’m still trying to figure that out. I guess it’s okay to not have all the answers, right? Like, maybe it’s about trying new things and seeing what feels right."

(She fidgets a little, trying to find the right words.)

Kayla: "Anyway, um, I guess what I’m trying to say is... don’t be too hard on yourself if you’re still figuring things out. Just take it one day at a time and keep trying to be the best version of you. That’s what I’m trying to do, at least."

(She smiles nervously at the camera.)

Kayla: "Okay, so... if you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe. And remember, you’re awesome just the way you are. See you in the next video!"

(They discuss ideas for a vlog and social media usage)

Boy: (Skeptical) "A vlog? I don’t know... putting ourselves out there like that..."

Girl: "It’s not about fame, just sharing our journey. Maybe it’ll inspire someone."

Boy: (Nods, considering) "Yeah, maybe. Could be fun too."

Girl: "Exactly! Plus, we’ll get to see how ridiculous we are."

(Boy introduces girl to his favorite music)

Boy: (Playing a track) "This one’s special to me. It got me through some tough times."

Girl: (Listening intently) "I can see why. It’s like... it’s speaking directly to your soul."

Boy: (Quietly) "Yeah. Music does that."

10. Fun and Games:

(They discuss what pisses them off)

Girl: (Laughing) "And don’t get me started on people who don’t signal when they’re driving!"

Boy: (Chuckles) "Or when people use their phones during a movie. That’s the worst."

Girl: "Oh my God, yes! Like, just enjoy the moment, people!"

(They attend a music gig together)

Girl: (After the show) "That was incredible! I felt every note."

Boy: "There’s something about live music... you can’t replicate it."

Girl: "I’m glad we came. I needed that."

(They playfully argue over a song’s lyrics)

Girl: "No way, you’re totally wrong. The lyrics are about regret and lost chances."

Boy: (Laughing) "You’re overthinking it. It’s about learning from mistakes, not wallowing in them."

Girl: "Agree to disagree. But I’m still right."

11. Midpoint:

(They confess a secret)

Boy: (Hesitant) "I’ve never really told anyone this, but... I’m terrified of failing. It’s why I’ve never put my music out there."

Girl: (Gently) "I get that. I used to be scared of letting people in... still am, sometimes."

Boy: "But you seem so... confident."

Girl: "It’s all an act. We’re all just trying to figure it out."

12. Bad Guys Close In: Reference: "The Lunchbox" (2013)

(He helps her with some Hindi lyrics)

Boy: (Correcting her pronunciation) "Try it like this... it’ll flow better."

Girl: (Repeats) "Like this? How do you know this stuff?"

Boy: (Smiling) "I had a friend who taught me. Music has no boundaries, right?"

Girl: (Smiles back) "Right."

(They have their first argument)

Girl: "You’re just not listening! It needs more emotion, more feeling!"

Boy: (Annoyed) "I am listening! But sometimes, less is more. You can’t just... force it."

Girl: (Frustrated) "Maybe we’re just too different."

Boy: (Angrily) "Maybe."

(Girl’s family expresses concern over the relationship)

Girl’s Mother: "You’re spending a lot of time with this boy... are you sure he’s good for you?"

Girl: (Defensive) "He’s great, Mom. We understand each other in ways no one else does."

Mother: "Just... be careful, okay? I don’t want you to get hurt."

Girl: (Sighs) "I know, but I have to figure this out myself."

13. All Is Lost: Reference: "Garden State" (2004)

(Conversations about life and love)

Boy: (Reflectively) "Love isn’t easy, is it? It’s messy and complicated."

Girl: "Yeah, but it’s also worth it. Even when it hurts."

Boy: "Sometimes I wonder if it’s worth the risk."

Girl: (Gently) "It is. You just have to be brave enough to take the leap."

(Boy feels misunderstood and withdraws)

Boy: (Quietly) "Maybe we’re just too different. I don’t know if I can... keep up with you."

Girl: (Worried) "What are you saying?"

Boy: (Looking away) "Maybe... we should take a break. Figure things out."

Girl: (Hurt) "If that’s what you want..."

14. Break into Three:

(Relationship continues to develop non-verbally)

Girl: (Leaves a note on his desk) "I’m sorry for pushing you away. I’m scared too."

Boy: (Reading the note, sighs) "Maybe we both need to learn to let go."

15. Finale:

(They work on a song together – Revisited)

Boy: (Determined) "Let’s make this song about us. No more hiding, no more walls."

Girl: (Smiling) "Yeah, something raw and real. Just... us."

Boy: (Nods) "Let’s do it."

(They perform the song together)

Girl: (Singing) "We’ve come so far... just you and me."

Boy: (Harmonizing) "Through the ups and downs... we found our melody."

Girl: (Eyes closed, feeling the music) "This is where we belong... together."

16. Final Image: Reference: "Notting Hill" (1999)

(Girl and boy in the elevator again)

Boy: (Relaxed, leaning back) "So, here we are again... in this elevator."

Girl: (Teasing) "You finally mastered the art of holding the door open."

Boy: (Laughs) "Took long enough."

Girl: (Gazes at him) "You ready for what’s next?"

Boy: (Smiling) "As long as you are."

please tell me more about your courier I've only just started playing the game myself /nf

GLADLY!!!!!

hehe so um my courier six (who just goes by courier) is just a silly mailman... their main skills lie in science and repair and robotics! they also love using melee weapons (mainly rebar clubs) and they also love using their incinerator ^^ oh and these are their special stats:

Strength - 8 Perception - 5 Endurance - 4 Charisma - 6 Intelligence - 8 Agility - 2 Luck - 7

so they are very strong but have low endurance so they're a bit of a glass cannon, and they get tired fairly easily while fighting the creatures of the wasteland. they're also just a little bit near-sighted but never had their eyes checked so they just squint if they need to see far ahead. if someone is shooting at them they'll just be looking around like "huh? whuh? who's shooting at me :("

they are a little off-putting but they are very earnest! people either think they're annoying, charming, or they just feel a little sorry for them (old ladies love him for being just such a nice young lad). they are also very clumsy, more often than not they will trip over landmines and fall off ridges, but their luck sort of balances it out so sometimes they'll kick the mine over to whatever enemy they're fighting or land on their feet :)

them and boone are wasteland buddies! even though he doesn't really interact with them much, they're just happy they're not going it alone :') they're also on good terms with arcade, they're interested in learning medical stuff and he doesn't mind teaching them if it means they'll STOP COMING TO HIS TENT EVERY OTHER DAY BECAUSE THEY KEEP TRYING TO FIGHT CAZADORES >:( also i think they would be friends with victor, maybe they'd be in a little bit of a flirtationship with each other ^//^ in my playthrough right now i'm trying to repair e-de, and i think after courier fixes him they would be friends too! they would make happy beeping noises at each other :)

Black Clover ch369

Ah, finally back after a handful of months and what a lovely double spread to come back to. I know a lot has already happened within the capital courtesy of Lucius' judgement day, with him and the paladins causing chaos for the magic knight squads, but it feels like we're finally entering the second phase of the battle with Asta and the rest of the Black Bulls making their grand entrance. Thankfully we don't waste much time jumping right back into the action either.

We do get a quick little flashback of everyone first experiencing Asta's anti-magic and learning about Ichika, but I got no complaints since it's been so long and I missed seeing the squad.

As expected, Luck is gonna have the time of his life with all this extra power. Ichika explains that the upgrade isn't infinite but with how quick Luck works, he's certainly gonna make the most of it even if limited to only a couple attacks.

I'm so glad Magna is able to pull off his chains again and work it twice as well as last time, now connecting to four total people instead of just two.

They way they're both constantly competing with and supporting each other to become stronger never gets olds. Their attacks might not pack a punch on their own against Lucius, but with the amount of speed and sheer determination behind each hit, the boys are jamming up Lucius' concentration to the point where he can't regenerate quick enough thanks to the anti-magic.

What a fantastic callback to their epic fight with Vetto by pulling off this combination attack once more, just newly improved and far more effective.

It's great they were capable of knocking out one of Lucius' clones, but there's still quite a few remaining. I pray the rest of the squad can work just as quickly and efficiently as this duo did. Also hoping no harm comes to them for the remainder of the battle since it seems their anti-magic buff is already wearing off.

As for the rest of the Black Bulls, I got no doubt that Gauche, Grey and Gordon are probably gonna team up. Who might they assist? I'm not sure. Originally, I figured Luck & Magna would help out the Vermillions since they got similar magic and the wild battle attitude, but who knows now. They could still head over there, sure, but not sure how helpful they'll be without the anti-magic. Maybe the three G's could assist the Crimson Lions since they're up against Morris? Gordon & Gauche are clever lads, perhaps they can come up with some plan to outsmart the dude. I also believe Vanessa & Charmy are gonna pair up, or at least they should so Rogue never runs out of energy. It's a personal wish, but I'd want them to go help out Noelle. I know she already has Kahono & Kiato nearby, but still, it would do good for Acier to see at least some of Noelle's found family show up and provide support to her daughter when her actual family is all beaten up (though I do want Nozel to get back up and have a special moment with mom too. would be great if the other two siblings stepped up as well of course.) Um, who else is there.. Finral. He might go to the Golden Dawn or wherever Langris is. Zora I'd want to head over to the Purple Orcas actually, only if Zara ends up being reincarnated as well. Henry and Secre.. I dunno where they could end up, honestly. But enough rambling on for now. We'll wait and see, eventually, whenever the next chapter releases.
