Mingyu kisses behind your ear causing you to smirk, a small laugh slipping from your lips. He had been incredibly touchy from the moment you walked in the door. Now his hand was running along your stomach, his fingers turned downwards urging you to spread your legs. You could hear the whimper on his lips next to your ear when you laugh again, pulling from him ever so slightly. 

“Mm, where are you going? I need you…” You smile at his words, your eyes rolling when you lean back to meet his eyes. Mingyu’s pupils were ever so slightly blown out with lust, his cock straining in his shorts. He groans at the way you look at him, his thumb rubbing a circle into your hip while he takes a deep breath giving you an almost desperate look. 

You can’t help the urge to lift your hand, your bottom lip getting caught in your teeth while your fingers brush through his longer dark locks. “What has gotten into you today?” Mingyu groans again, leaning to pull at your shirt so that it falls off your shoulder exposing your skin to him. You sigh out a breath into another laugh listening to him talk between kisses, “I missed you, and I was bored.” 

Boredom, that explained most of Mingyu’s problems 90% of the time. When his sharper canines drag along your skin, you hiss out a soft moan. Mingyu furrows his brow, feeling his cock twitching at the sound causing him to shiver. “What did you do while you were bored, Gyu?” 

Mingyu smiles against your soft skin, his eyes glancing up at you mischievously. When you raise a brow, he presses one more opened mouth kiss to your arm before sitting back with a sigh. “I looked up new positions to try, I found one that just…” You watch him visibly shudder, his eyes traveling over you while his fingers lift at your shirt so that the pads of his fingertips can brush over your skin. 

“That what? Finish your sentence, Mingyu. Don’t get distracted.” You smile hearing Mingyu softly whine into a breath, his eyes lifting to yours once again. His fingers were now spread along your stomach, the tips of his index and middle finger resting under your breast while his mouth practically watered at the idea of getting your clothes off of you when you had spoken to him again. 

“Oh, yeah. Um…I’ll have to show you.” Now it was your turn to whine softly when his hands were off of your body. He was so warm and now that he was leaning across the bed to grab his phone you were beginning to realize how much you needed him too. “Fuck…what is the position called Gyu?” 

Mingyu laughs softly at your impatience, his phone in his hand when he feels your hands pulling him back to you. “Amazon position, oh fuck…Y/N.” Mingyu was trying hard not to get distracted but you had moved behind him, your hands moving over his chest while you looked over his shoulder as he scrolled. 

“Mmm, like the company?” You laugh sweetly against Mingyu’s ear causing him to echo you only the phone trembles in his hands at the feeling of your tongue on the shell of his ear. “Fu–fuck, uh no. Like the Greek women…the uh— oh god baby, you are making it hard to think.” 

Smirking against Mingyu’s neck, you raise a brow glancing at his phone while Mingyu starts to play a video of the sounds of a man groaning filling the room though Mingyu doesn’t seem to even pay attention. “You can use that cute little brain of yours Gyu, but I think I get the idea. You don’t want to think at all do you? You just want me to do all the work?” 

Mingyu groans, the feeling of your hand wrapping around his throat from behind causing him to close his eyes. The phone forgotten, Mingyu drops it onto the bed nodding at your words while you feel his Adam's apple moving against your palm. “So this is what you do when you are bored? You look at porn and imagine ways for me to ruin you?” 

You feel your panties becoming uncomfortably wet at the sounds leaving Mingyu’s mouth when he agrees with every word you say. A soft “yes ma’am” followed by a “please…oh fuck, please fuck me?” slip from Mingyu’s lips causing you to almost lose your composure. Mingyu groans when you moan hot breath next to his ear before speaking, “Get undressed and lay on the bed.” 

Mingyu nods and begins muttering in agreement before he even moves. Watching a smirk form on your lips when he finally slides off the bed, Mingyu can’t help but to let his mouth drop open when you run your hand under your shirt over your breast squeezing them while watching him drop his clothes. “I’m trying to be patient, Mingyu.” 

“I know, I’m sorry…god you are so pretty. Can I take off your clothes too?” You watch him take a step towards you, his shorts falling to his feet leaving him naked in front of you when you shake your head no. Mingyu stops in his tracks, a whine on his lips, a form pouting while his hands tremble at his sides. 

“I told you to lay on the bed.” Your eyes follow Mingyu making his way to the bed, his gaze never leaving yours even when he lays on his back. You can’t help but to smirk watching his cock rest back against his stomach leaking heavily. “Are you that excited, Pup?” 

Mingyu whines out a yes when you slide off the bed, your hands moving over your body far too slow for his liking. When he starts to sit up on his elbows you tsk at him tossing your bra in his direction. “If you want me to fuck you Mingyu, you will lay on your back like a good boy and be patient.” 

You weren’t sure you had seen your boyfriend move faster than he did at your words. Mingyu’s chest rises and falls quickly while his eyes stay fixed on your body, on each piece of clothing falling to the floor. “I knew you could listen.” Mingyu nods, a groan spilling from his lips when your fingers trail along his thighs when you move between his legs. 

“Now be a good little whore and hold your legs up.” You watch Mingyu swallow hard after hearing your command. He knew what position he would have to get into, but knowing it was happening made his head spin. He watches a smirk pull at the corner of your lips when he pulls his legs up bending his knees towards his chest, his hands on the back of his thighs. 

You had to admit the visual of seeing him like this was more arousing than you had anticipated. Biting your lip you suppress a moan running your fingers over the back of Mingyu’s thighs down to his ass causing him to squirm slightly on the bed in front of you. “Hold them apart for me so I can get to your pretty cock, baby.” 

Mingyu mutters a soft ‘fuck’ pulling his legs apart only to feel your fingers run between his ass, over his balls up to his shaft that jerks in anticipation. “It really is pretty, you know?” Looking up when you speak to him, Mingyu groans watching you hold his cock up straight while you squat over the back of his thighs lowering yourself down over his length. 

“What–oh!” He wanted to know what you were talking about but when you rested your hands on his chest leaning over him thrusting your hips towards him, Mingyu was lost for words. You find yourself also a bit overwhelmed by how good the position felt. How you could control how deep Mingyu was inside of you, how fast you were going, the drag of your clit when you sat down fully and rocked your hips instead. 

Mingyu curses under his breath, his fingernails digging into the back of his thighs. He was trying so hard to keep his eyes open and on you because it was the sexiest thing he had ever seen in his entire life. The way your body moved over him, the bounce of your breasts, the determination in your eyes. When you moan his name and thrust hard down over him, Mingyu cries out your name in response making you smirk.

Lifting your hand you grab Mingyu’s face when he starts to lean his head to the side, his eyes closing from the overwhelming feeling of his climax building. “Eyes on me, there’s my pretty whore. Mmm, fuck…does my little pup like when I’m being mean?” 

Nodding, Mingyu whines out a yes, his hands moving to slide over your legs while he uses his strength to keep his legs pulled up. Letting go of his face, you tilt your head to the feeling of his hands on your skin. When Mingyu bites at his bottom lip your fingers collide with his cheek making his mouth fall out in a groan. “Shit…Y/N.” 

“Don’t bite at your lips. I want to hear your pretty moans Gyu.” Your eyes fall on Mingyu’s throat, his Adam’s apple prominent when he swallows hard at your words before he opens his mouth to speak once again. “Do that again?” Your hips slow, circling his cock while you try to process what he is asking you to do. 

When your palm hits his cheek again, Mingyu groans his eyes closing once again only this time you feel his cock twitch inside of you. “You really do like it when I’m mean to you. I’m learning so much about you today, baby.” Your fingers run over Mingyu’s warm cheek, the heat both from the slap and embarrassment of your words. “So cute, I think I like this side of you.” 

Mingyu leans his face into your hand, his lips pressing against the heel of your hand with a groan when your thrusts pick up in pace and intensity once again. The pressure had been building inside of him for a while, but the feeling of your pussy tightening around him each time you took him so deeply was causing Mingyu to lose his mind. 

“‘M…Gonna cum…oh my god. Please?” There were so few times when Mingyu had begged for things in the bedroom but you were beginning to get used to the feeling. Your own orgasm had been building but now you were trying to keep yourself from losing it right on the spot, your hand back on Mingyu’s chest, the other on the back of his leg. 

“Yeah? You sound so pretty begging for it Gyu. You really do sound like a pretty little whore tonight.” When you praise and degrade him at the same moment, Mingyu throws his head back against the bed hard to keep himself from cumming instantly. Digging your nails into his leg, you moan his name feeling the burn in your legs beginning to lose your pace. “Cum for me Mingyu.” 

It was music to his ears before they felt white hot with how hard his climax hit him. Mingyu closes his eyes tightly, tears rolling from the corners into his hair while he groans loudly. You gasp feeling his cum spilling into you then running between your thighs as you continue to fuck him through his high. 

Mingyu’s fingers tremble on your leg, your name muttering on his lips like a prayer sending you over the edge when you lean over his body pushing his knees further into his chest so your lips can meet his when you cum. Larger hands hold onto your hips in an attempt to hold you in place until you hiss out a no, Mingyu whines at the overstimulation when you roll your hips over his. 

“Oh fuck…too much.” You smirk on his lips when he whines the words into your mouth. Words he had heard from you so many times only to coax another orgasm from you. “Mm, you can give me more can’t you? Be a good whore.” Sitting back you roll your hips down when you hear Mingyu let out a sobbing groan as he spills anything he has left into you. 

Hand’s grip the bedding, Mingyu’s pretty face looking blissfully wrecked when you finally pull from him letting his cum drip onto the back of his thighs causing you to moan at the sight. “Oh Gyu, baby…you look as pretty as a painting tonight. I should take a picture for you.” 

You hear him laugh, his legs moving to relax before you push them back up, shaking your head and meeting his eyes, a sly smirk on your lips. “I’m serious, hang on just a second.” Mingyu bites his lips, his arm wrapped behind his knees while he watches you move to pick up his phone, unlocking it only to then take a picture of him on the bed. 

Shaking your head you take a slow breath sending yourself the picture before handing him the phone. Mingyu’s breath mimics the one you had taken, his legs reluctantly relaxing from being held up for so long. “Holy shit…I–” 

“You look sexy.” Mingyu looks up at your words, his cheeks burning at your compliment, a smile forming on his lips. “This was fun Gyu, you should get bored more often.” Taking his phone from his hands, you move to sit in Mingyu’s lap causing him to groan slightly to the pressure even as his hands run over your legs gently. 

“I’m glad you had fun, I really liked it too. We will have to try this position again sometime soon.” A smirk on your lips you nod in agreement, happy to try out any new positions your boyfriend was willing to find. “Mm anytime Pup, but now it’s time to get a shower, then you get to change the bed. There is cum all over it.”

Starstruck

Hobie Brown x fem! reader (high school au)

@rexlroze, @the-kr8tor What better place to stir up drama than high school? ✨️Enemies to lovers✨️

Part(s): Prologue, ???

Visions Academy. Elitist? Yes, but the school of your dreams. An hour trip from Harlem on the subway. But if your mom’s dingy blue bug held up for another year you wouldn’t have to worry about paying for a Metrocard.

It was incredible when you visited on a campus tour. The music program was world renowned. You plan to take every course available but you need to be in that music room. Smell the polish from the guitars and touch the marble of the grand piano. You shiver just thinking about standing in the auditorium. It’s everything you’ve ever wanted. Everything your family could ever have dreamed of for their daughter.

So it doesn’t bother you to work until the dead of night with customers that make you want to tear your hair out. Visions makes it all worth it and well, being able to pay for your own gas is nice too.

It’s Friday, the parlor is loud and bustling with families, high schoolers, and disgruntled adults who just want to pay. Life couldn’t be any better than this.

“Manolo where are my damn pizzas?” Yuri screams over the bar separating the kitchen and the cashiers. Stacking empty boxes into her hands before shoving them under the counter.

“What do you expect me to do!?” He yells back. Antonio, his younger brother slipping on what you assume is the ghost pepper Manolo never picked up. “I’ve got six other orders before damn what’s his name. Tell him to wait his fu-”

You tune them out as you smile politely to the little girl in front of you who’s asked for a to-go cup.

“Thank you!”

“You’re welcome,” you chuckle. Watching her run back to her parents. It was sweet, reminding you of your own dad and mom back home.

“(y/n)!’

You don’t react as Yuri spins you around, pushing you towards the kitchen where boxes and boxes of pizza are stacked up. “Go, I expect you back within two hours eh?”

You also don’t react when she glares down at Antonio. Who is usually your delivery boy but is currently nursing a burn on his hand. The poor guy really was as clumsy as a deer.

“Two hours (y/n)!” She repeats.

Then the door slams shut behind you. Your car keys in hand and a bag draped over your shoulder that burns into your side with how many pizzas are stuffed inside. Don’t even ask how that worked, Yuri has her ways.

You sigh as you hop down the steps. Gently setting the bag in the passenger's seat once you reach your car. It takes you a second to set up your phone with directions along with music. The speakers are surprisingly clear as you turn the volume up and drive off. The city becomes a blur and the clock ticks back at you with each and every stop.

The last apartment. A pink building that’s chipping and full of overgrown vines that reminds you of a photo you saw at a pop up show once. You walk up the steps, the last two boxes in your hand.

“O’hara…”You mumble, “O’hara, O’hara- ah ha, there.” The loud buzz of the intercom makes you recoil as it echoes across the street. A minute later a voice rang through, words muffled and unintelligible

You shift nervously on the balls of your feet. Leaning close to the speaker against your better judgment.

“Hi! For Mr. O’hara?”

More words? You’re sweating at this point. You’re almost hitting your two hour mark. A second later another buzz rings through and the door unlocks.

You sigh, muttering under your breath. “Oh thank god.”

You quickly swing the door open. Scaling the steps once you see yellow caution tape and a note stuck to the elevator.

By the time you reach the fourth floor you’re huffing. Holding onto the railing you catch your breath.

“You’ve got to be kidding me,”You huff in exasperation. Eyes wide as you see every door number is faded or falling apart. “These people need a better landlord.”

You almost shriek as you see what time it is when you look down. You have less than fifteen minutes.

Running through the numbers as best you could. You settle on a door with punk themed stickers. You hope this is the apartment or the tenants will at least be nice enough to point you in the right direction.

Before you can even knock the door swings up.

“What do you mean-”

You stand there visibly in awe as you stare into the most beautiful set of eyes you’ve ever seen. Silver piercings and earrings decorating his face. Wicks pulled back into a ponytail.

“Oh hey! Can we help you?” A second face pops out from the side of the door. A kind smile on his face.

You clear your throat as you avert your gaze. “Yes, uhm, I’m looking for 4D?”

“O’hara?”

You melt inside as you hear his accent. British? But not exactly?

“O’hara,”you confirmed. Smile wobbly as you force your butterflies down. You really need to get out of here.

You don’t notice the two exchange a look.

“Oh, that’s us love.” He grins as he stares down at you.

“Great!” You beam. Mentally storing the name in the back of your mind. For what? You don’t know. It’s not like you had the courage to ask for his number.

It takes you less than a minute to hand the boxes over.

“How much do we owe you?”

This confuses you but your smile never wavers. “I’m sorry, I’m pretty sure you prepaid online.”

“Right right!” The second boy nods. Dragging his friend inside by the arm and snatching up the pizza with his free hand. “Thanks!”

The boy with wicks sends you a wink before closing the door behind them.

You wait until you’re out of sight to swoon. It lasts for about five seconds when you realize it’s been exactly two hours.

-

Yuri’s too busy when you come back to scold you. So the rest of your shift goes smoothly. Your mind drifting to the boy every once in a while. A small smile on your lips.

The phone rings and your bliss is broken. You hold your breath as insult after insult hits your ear through the receiver.

You feel like an idiot. The boy’s pretty face fading into obscurity. You blink back tears as you talk with the real Miguel O’hara.

What a shitty night.

Song of Storms

LU Sky x reader

Warnings: NSFW, 18+ minors please DO NOT INTERACT, some fluff, angst

Fem reader is implied. Not necassarily final promise!au, so intepret it as you will. This one is a bit short, but I like it lol

~

Sky was mentally exhausted. Flying out on night watch was his least favorite part of the day because it meant he had to leave you. It meant that he couldn't feel your warm body against his, inhaling and exhaling slowly as you dreamed of serenity. On top of that, it had started to storm about an hour ago, barely being able to see his gloved hands in front of his face.

He was supposed to be returning to Skyloft now, but he had no sense of direction as the rain pelted against his goggles, fogging up the lenses no matter how many time he'd wiped them off.

A large lightining strike lit up the expanse of the night sky, Skyloft's outline just barely being visible miles away. If he flew straightforward, he should be able to make it before he was struck by lighting.

Petting Crimson, he flew fast, wind whipping his hair around, rain drops pelting his face harder and harder. It felt like tiny needles falling on his face, but he had to come home. He needed to come home to you, or you'd kill him.

His fingertips on the brink of frostbite, he sighs in relief when he sees the Knight's Academy come into view. Despite having the option of living on the surface, he felt nostalgic of his life in the sky, no matter what memories it brought.

Landing on the wooden deck, he yelled out to the Nightguard about getting Crimson somewhere safe, already enthraled with the thought of seeing you. Giving his Loftwing one last pet, he ran off to the entrance of the academy, already in the process of stripping his gloves off of his hands.

He pants as he closes the door behind him, the raging storm echoing off the walls. The hallway was dark, only the faint glow of the sconces on the wall illuminating his path to you. His home.

Turning right, he sighs in happiness seeing his door, knowing you were just on the other side, waiting for him. Your knight.

He unlocks the door, quietly walking in and closing the door behind you. The room was dimly lit with a few candles, you hunched over on the bed, reading a book Sky bought you. You quickly shut the book, running into his arms, ignoring how cold and wet he was.

"Holy goddesses, Sky! I was so fucking worried-"

He shuts you up with a passionate kiss, his entire body tense from the night's treachery. He needed this. He needed you.

"Shh, it's ok my Flower. I'm here, I'm home. I'm not going anywhere, ok?"

You nod, placing your forehead against his, relishing in the domseticity. You knew he's have to leave again tomorrow night, but you wanted him until then. You allowed yourself to be selfish, just this once.

~

"Fu-ah! Sky, fuckfuckfuck!-" you moaned, head tossed back on the pillow. Sky was above you, hips slamming at an astounding pace. You thought tonight was gonna be more slow and intimate, though you weren't complaining. You were in heaven.

"Fuck, baby, you feel so good. Squeezin' around me jus' like that. I'm gonna fill you up so good. So, so good."

You clawed at his chest, needing something to hold on to as the living daylight was being fucked out of you. Instead, Sky grabbed your wrists and pinned them above your head, leaving nothing in between him and you.

"Gonna fill your little pussy up so good. Make you nice and full with my kid. You'd love that, wouldn't you princess?"

You whimper loudly, arching off the bed. Sky brings his mouth to one of your breasts, his tongue circling the swollen bud. You wrap your legs around his waist, stars in front of your eyes as the coil in your stomach tightens.

"Mmh- Link! Link I'm gonna fucking cum- Linklinklinklink-"

And you came, hard. Clamping around his cock, he practically growled into your ear, chasing your orgasm with his own release. He shot thick white ropes inside of your heat, kissing your neck as you both calmed down, him slowing down his thrusts inside of you.

He lays on top of you, kissing your face lightly. He coos in your ear, praising you and how good you felt. His hands never leave your body, pawing at the plush of your thighs and kissing the curve of your breasts.

He suddenly flips you over so your on his lap, cock still nestled deep in your heat. Hands on your hips, he mutters:

"Let's really make sure you get pregnant this time, Princess. I wanna hear you sing for me."

Crowbar (Angst)

Summary: Jason gets a flash back from being tortured by the Joker, he is stuck in the flashback until Bruce snaps him out of it.

Some Jason angst.

Third person pov...

Jason was out on patrol as Red Hood and was fighting some assholes who tried to beat up some street kids, Red Hood heard their screams and came running to help.

The alleyway was dark, atleast 6 men stood infront of a group of three kids all younger than 13 cowering together to keep safe, jsut as one of men grab the arm of the younger kid Red Hood jumped down from the roof.

Using the sides of the buildings he leaped from side to side and landed on the back of the man. "What the fu-" He was knocked out before he would finish his words.

"Run kids!" Yelled Jason, the rest of the men stand against the Red Hood and charge at the anti-hero.

He doesn't use his guns on the men since children were present, as he knocked out the last guy he heard a horribly familiar sound.

*Scraaaaape*

It was made by a crowbar, one of the attackers he hadn't knocked out enough picked it up. Jason frozen eyed widening breath uneven as he was thrown back into his mind if the horrible day.

Suddenly he was 15 years old, still Robin and locked in the warehouse, being tortured by the Joker. He was tied to a chair ropes digging into his wrists and feet.

He couldn't feel his legs, the coldness of thr warehouse had already seeped into his skin tremors racked his beaten and bruised body.

His body was in pain and head ached, then that horrible laughter appeared making him shake harder, he was almost rattling the chair as he heard the sound of his nightmares, it got louder and louder and louder!

"-ason..."

"-ason... it's... uce...!"

"-on... um ..."

Suddenly his helmet was gone, the claustrophobic feeling was removed his breathing was better, he started to come back to his senses, warm rough hands covered his ears and cupped his face gently as if cradling a baby.

"Jason, its Bruce! Come on Chum"

"Breath for me" Jason took a deep breath and let it put slowly, he could feel his heart beating normally again as the flash back finished.

As his vision cleared he saw the person who snapped him out of his flashback, the black figure was blurry but he saw blue eyes, calm but worried blue eyes.

'Who was worried about me ?' He thought, then the figures body came into focus a big black bat on the chest of the person helped him remember.

"Bruce" he whispers in a horse voice, he must of been screaming he realised, Bruce's eyes softened even more at his voice. "It's okay Jaylad, I'm here" his voice rumbled comforting Jason as his panic attack subsided.

Finding comfort in the hands cupping his face he relaxed against Bruce finding the man's Cape and finders it, the material comforting, he's loved playing with the batman Cape since he was a child it felt comforting to him.

Breathing deeply he put his ear on the man heart. *thump thump thump* the sound helped the teen come to his senses again. "B where-" "-We're in the alleyway son, you saved those children, they are safe because of you" explained the man.

Jason sighed he was glad they were okay. "Good, why you here?" He askes the man, slurring his words, he felt like jelly.

Bruce froze slightly then relaxed his shoulder and rubbed his sons back comfortingly. "The heart monitor in your suit became to high, I got worried and came looking for you, when I arrived there were a pile of knocked out men on the floor, you were curled up by the wall shaking and screaming-"

Bruce paused, took a deep brath then squeezed the boy in his arms as if remembering he was okay.

Jason squeezed back. "Oh" he mumbled. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you before Jaylad, I regret it I've regretted it every day since you died" The emotion in the man's voice threw Jason.

'He was worried about me' he thought voice in his head conflicting him with his feelings about the stoic man. "Itsokay B, your here now" he mumbles against the man's chest, Bruce hugged him closer.

Jason struggled with his next words. "I-i want to try being a family again, w-with you B" he almost whispered hoping the man heard him. "Really" the question threw him. "I do, I want to try, if you will try to" he says the man pulls him back.

Jason almost pouts at the lost of contact. Bruce's eyes are wide with emotion. "I want to try, I want to be a family with you Jaylad" he says to the teen, Jason pulls his lips into his signature grin.

"Great old man, let's get back to the cave" he says staggering as he stands, Bruce was there in second supporting his weight as he stood.

"Let's get home" the two vigilantes walk together to the Batmobile, they will try and this time it will work.

The end!

[randomalistic]

I watched kung fu panda 1 & 2 back to back and Cried. MY THOUGHTS AND FAVORITE PARTS BELOW!!

‪I fucking love movies that are so confident in themselves and their identities. Kung fu panda was never unsure of itself it just went All in on amazing fight choreography and colors and animation and Awesomeness silliness . AND INCREDIBLE PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS. ALL THE CHARACTER INTERACTIONS ARE SO BELIEVABLE. No forced heterosexual romance?? (Or ANY romance.) In MY western animated 2008 movie?? What is this????!!!

I fucking love that Tai Lung is hyped up so MUCH to be unstoppable and intimidating throughout this whole movie and yet the final battle with Po is so believable. They didn’t nerf Tai Lung at all to be equal with Po, Po is just so confident of himself and his fighting style is unlike anything Tai has ever encountered. HE HAS NEVER FACED SILLY FIGHTING. That’s his weakness….. He wasn’t silly enough. And throughout the film Po is like. Really doubting who he is and hating on himself but it’s so empowering by the end. He’s just so Him! And IT WORKS!!!!!!!!

Okay ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were a lot of really cool shots like this����😊😊 it’s kind of an anime .

Tai lung is so awesome and idk he’s hot too what else do I say. Great backstory too. Although I wish he had a little more.. why was he so power hungry? Was he just Like That. Fair. Also They make thr villans kind of objectively hot in this franchise. I wouldn’t PERSONALLY…. But if you said you would… I totally get that….

Tigress is the best character also. She was totally living in tai lung’s shadow I wish she got more validation from shifu it’s so sad. I LOVE HOW WELL THE FLASHBACKS SHOW DONT TELL !!!

OK ACTUALLY MAYBE OOGWAY IS THE BEST CHARACTER. I love how they made him so old and trembly. But so wise and at peace . That’s a silly detail but I liked it ok

Also shifu and po’s dynamic is so fucking good. And very cute! HAVE I SAID GREAT CHARACTER INTERACTIONS. The “you may now eat” dumpling bowl scene is the best scene in the whole movie. It’s so delightful.. probably followed by tai lung’s prison breakout and oogway’s passing.. THE RANGE OF THIS FILM!!!!!!

I love the “you’re a monster and I created you but I loved you” thing going on with shifu and tai lung.. I’m crazy.

Oops that’s another tai lung gif it was an accident!!! I would pet him and then I would die

I just wish the rest of the 5 got to have some more character development but there’s Five of them and that’s a Lot . The sprinkles we get of their characters is nice though ! I mean Sprinkles. TELL ME MORE ABOHT VIPER PLEASE SHES SUCH A SWEETHEART. WHAT WAS HER CHARACTER GROWTH WITH NOT HAVING FANGS… tell me….. do the others have something about them too…

Anyways super fuckin iconic movie and beautiful

Another thing I liked was when the characters made Animal Noises of their irl counterparts like tai lung making kitty meow (in pain) and shen making peacock calls while fighting. I just love little details like That okay!!!

Me???? Crying at kung fu Panda 2 ? Po finally coming to terms with his past repressed childhood memories and his village being massacred and from that still being able to embrace who he is in the present got to me ok‬!

Shen is so tragic and Delightfully Evil. He’s so unhinged and he has so much inner turmoil that he Never reflects on constructively. And He’s destructive about it! She’s a sadistic War criminal! And a little bit theater kid. very Theatrical. Kind of gay. “Your parents never loved you” PROJECTING MUCH? ?? 💔💔 AND THE WAY HE JUST ACCEPTS HIS DEATH FROM HIS OWN WEAPON AT THE END. He literally just closes his eyes and Takes It at point blank range. He was not ok. He reached a point of no return the moment he tried to kill off the pandas. AND HE WOULD RATHER DIE THAN SHOW WEAKNESS… HES SO FUCKED!!!and My friend used to have a crush on him. Did I mention cool as fuck character design. I love his metal talon things it makes him that much more menacing

Ok girl your scary

My friend made such a good observation about the inner peace/raindrop motif. The raindrop/drop of water that keeps hitting his head… annoying him… nagging at him… that’s symbolism for his Repressed Memories.. his identity crisis .. the incredible repeating urge to need to know who he is So Bad so much so that he’ll go in DEATHS WAY to know!! 🥴 AND IN THE SCENE WHERE HE RELIVES IT… IT RAINS… AND HES OK WITH IT…. THIS MOVIE IS FUCKING BEAUTOFUL AND I WASNT EXPECTING ANY LESS!!!!!!

ALSO I LOVED THE FOCUS ON TIGRESS / PO INTERACTIONS IT WAS SO CUTE. I’m so happy they’re friends now.. tigress definitely hated him The Most in the first movie . she called him a disgrace to kung fu and everything it stands for To his Face. Ouch ! But they are chill now I think.

They’re so fucking sad and wet here. I love them…

I’m also glad they toned down the fatphobia in the 2nd movie . In the first film Even though it was usually framed as a hurtful thing towards Po, it was also frequently used as a joke thing at his expense💔kinda mean spirited !! But hes still framed as cool and awesome anyways so. Ur giving Mixed Messages….

MR PING IS SUCH A GOOD DAD. WAAUUHGHHHHHHHHHH HE CARES ABOUT PO SO MUCH

There are certain details you might not pick up on if you dont watch these movies back to back also. I like how Mr Ping mentioned he wish he sold tofu in the first movie and then in the second movie he sells both noodles AND tofu now!! It’s just very cute and shows that a lot of care and passion goes into these :)

What a great franchise also. I saw the 2nd movie once on theaters and I only remembered parts of it. I’ve never seen the 3rd movie! And I just might!! DREAMWORKS DOESNT DISAPPOINT!!usually

Heart of the Warrior Chapter 14: Shatter the Moon

Fandom: Cybird Ikemen Sengoku

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Yukimura Sanada x Male!OC

     Mitsuhide ran his slender finger across the bruised, dry skin on Thai's shoulder, his nails tracing alongside the intricate design of the tattooed surface. He hummed silently, intrigued by the weakened foreigner tied down below him. His narrow, golden eyes scanned Thai's features, each new design only serving to fuel his interest, each ticking second of silence only exasperating Mitsuhide's curiosity about what this foreigner knew inside his headstrong mind. His finger stopped on the bottom of Thai's trapezius, pressing down on his spine as he eyed the mythical serpent rising from the ocean and devouring what appeared to be a shattering moon, the serpent's coils snaking throughout his back and surrounded by more intricate tattoos resembling a star-filled night.

       "Hmmm~" Mitsuhide hummed. His hands placed themselves on Thai's shoulders, gently pushing the foreigner forward so that Mitsuhide can get a better look at it through the dimly lit jail cell. "And...what does this one mean?"

     Thai stayed silent, blood and saliva dripping down his lips, his eyes sullen. The foreigner did not know how long it had been since he was dragged back to Ueda and beaten to a bloody pulp. His eyes glanced at his beaten and cold body, splotches of dried blood and purple bruises dotting its surface. His clothes were stripped, leaving him bare with only his undergarments. The deathly cold of the jail cell chilled his body.      He let out a bloodcurdling scream. Mitsuhide had forcefully dug the nails of his thumbs under Thai's shoulder blades. "I asked you..." Mitsuhide calmly asked, a grin forming on his lips. "...what does this one mean?"

     Ever since the beatings had stopped and the silver kitsune walked inside Thai's jail cell, he had done nothing but ask about the tattoos on his shoulders and back. His heartbeat trembled in fear as he anticipated what was to come next. Mitsuhide relieved the stabbing pressure of his thumbs, nonchalantly rubbing Thai's shoulders. "...I don't know what you want, Arrombado...but you won't get nothing out of me," Thai coughed, "Meus amigos já escaparam. Você nunca os encontrará."

     Mitsuhide giggled deeply, his hands staying in place. "Vamos ver," Mitsuhide spoke softly into Thai's ears. Thai gasped, looking back at Mitsuhide. His tongue was stopped, a familiar clink and flash of light freezing him in place. Mitsuhide held up Thai's razor blade, his torturer seemingly admiring it. "What a beautiful blade you have," Mitsuhide cooed, gently rotating his wrist to examine all of its features. "I heard from a new friend you left to die that this was used for...'shaving', was it?" Thai stood silent, Mitsuhide bringing the blade's polished surface to his golden eyes and staring deeply into his reflection. "Well...it also seemed to have cut up some of Nobuyuki's men good during the ambush. I must say...you have some impressive cutlery. I wonder, though, does it really shave? I must see this for myself if you don't mind?"

     Thai clenched his teeth. "Comemierda!" he shouted. "Eres una—"

     Mitsuhide swiftly clenched his left hand around Thai's chin and lower throat, forcing him still while squeezing firmly around his lower jaw as he pressed the blade against his cheek. Thai once again fell silent, a chill running up his spine as his eyes looked frantically at the blade. "Fu-fu-fu," Mitsuhide giggled gleefully. "You should see the look on that scared, pitiful face." His placid tone contradicted his intentions, the blade slightly rotating so its edge rested dangerously across Thai's cheek. "Now, be a good boy...and stay still."

    Thai closed his eyes, his heartbeat elevating as Mitsuhide's left hand squeezing down on his lower jaw slid itself down, forcing Thai's head up. Thai grit his teeth, feeling the blade lift off his cheek and closer to the edge of his top lip.     "Now..." Mitsuhide calmly said, each word sending chills throughout Thai's body as the blade edge pressed down further against his top lip. "...what is a foreigner, such as yourself, doing with Yukimura Sanada...?"

    Thai could feel the blade start to scrape down. He quickly pursed his lips, feeling the blade slowly press down his upper lip. He could feel the individual hairs of his mustache start to "pop" off, the edge of his cold blade further chilling him with a sense of dread as it stopped just on the border of the top of his top lip. "...who?"

    There was a moment of silence. Thai shook under Mitsuhide's grip, feeling a warm, soft sigh blow across his ear. Suddenly, he felt something cold swiftly run across his right pectoral. A second later, both the feeling of warm liquid and a rush of pain made his eyes explode open. He nearly collapsed with a howl, yet Mitsuhide tightened his grip, nearly making Thai choke as he rested the blade once more further closer under his nose. "Tsk-tsk-tsk..." Mitsuhide sneered with the same collectiveness he held throughout the conversation. "Now-now, that's not the answer you were supposed to give me."

    Thai chokingly cried out, blood seeping down the gash on his body. His body trembled under the pain. Mitsuhide sarcastically awed in sympathy, taking the blade off of Thai as his left hand began to gracefully pet the top of Thai's head. His right hand, still gripping the razor lightly, held Thai up. "Aww...there-there..." Mitsuhide offered crocodile tears to the foreigner. "I promise the pain will go...but you need to help me."

    Thai coughed out a pained scoff. "Wh...why would...I help you?"

    "Hm?" Mitsuhide smirked. "Why, because you want to? Because...if you don't...I promise to make sure to acquaint myself with you for days until you tell me what I want to hear."

    Mitsuhide's finger clasped around Thai's hair, forcing his head up and straining his neck. He returned the blade back under Thai's nose, once again shaving down Thai's mustache as he forced Thai's eyes to stare at him. A grin reappeared between Mitsuhide's lips. The grueling smell of iron lofted into Thai's nose, the strain of his hair pulling on his scalp agonizing. "Now..." Mitsuhide asked gently once more. "Why were you in the company of one Yukimura Sanada?"

    "Urgh!" Thai grunted, the blade's edge now resting once more on the top of his lip. Mitsuhide's narrow eyes stared directly into Thai. "I...I'm...I'm an explorer from the West he hired!"

    "An explorer?!" Mitsuhide awed, taking the blade off of Thai's face. The foreigner sighed in relief, suddenly clenching up once more as he felt the blade rest once more across the last third of his mustache. "Are...are you sure?" Mitsuhide asked in disbelief, holding back laughter through his snarky demeanor. "I've never seen a Westerner like you before...and while you do speak Portuguese...you definitely don't look like one. Maybe...you...are one of their...exotic servants who thought it was a good idea to—"

    "I ain't no goddamn slave!”

    Mitsuhide smiled. He continued to run the knife down, the slow shaving of hair agonizing to the writhing foreigner. "So you say...but let us stay with your theory, then," he cooed. "What did Yukimura Sanada want to achieve?" He took the blade off of Thai, placing it directly across Thai's gaze. Thai shuddered at the sight. "Why did he kidnap his brother? Why did he return all of a sudden?"

    Thai stayed silent, gazing at the reflection in the blade.

    This was it.

    This was how Thai Bulan would die. Not from vaping, not from a car accident, not even from old age. He stared at his demise mere centimeters from his face. How ironic, he thought, the blade given by his ex when they...

    Shinobi who were caught were expected to kill themselves to avoid letting the enemy torture any information out of them. At worst, they would let themselves be tortured to death without giving information to their captors. It was drilled into his head ever since he started his training, but he never thought it would happen to him. His fight on the cliff was supposed to end with him giving Yukimura five more minutes to escape before he jumped off himself. He thought he could fight his way through everyone as he had done before, but he fell. This was never supposed to happen—Yukimura finding out, Thai being invited into Ueda Castle, abducting Nobuyuki—none of it. He should be cursing Yukimura out for making him fall into the enemy's hands like this—to be tortured for days until he died.     But, it didn't matter.

    He protected Yukimura.

    He didn't fail him as he had done with his ex. All that mattered was that Yukimura made it back. He gladly accepted his fate knowing that Yukimura would still have the chance to win this war and retake his home.

    "Temos um ditado que diz de onde venho. 'Você, senhor, é um hyaena'," Thai muttered, his eyes redirecting its gaze back to a listening Mitsuhide, "Não desejo falar consigo."

    Mitsuhide sighed softly, his lips raising to a smirk. He let go of Thai's hair, pushing his head back down as he closed the blade of the razor.

    "Por agora, estrangeiro," Mitsuhide snickered. "I will enjoy wringing you dry. Even if you don't...I'll still enjoy getting rid of lowlife scum, such as yourself."

    Mitsuhide stepped away from Thai, exiting the cell and leaving the injured foreigner to wallow in his thoughts. Awaiting Mitsuhide at the door of the jail was a visibly disturbed Nobuyuki. Upon his sight, Mitsuhide chuckled.     "What? Squeamish?" Mitsuhide asked, putting away the razor in the folds of his kimono.     Nobuyuki sneered. "You just happen to show up as my younger brother infiltrates my castle?" Nobuyuki addressed Mitsuhide sternly, the latter merely giving him a pointed, uninterested look. "What is your goal here, Lord Mitsuhide? Does Nobunaga not trust me enough to run my own fief?"     "Maybe if you didn't get caught so easily, then he would have nothing to worry about," Mitsuhide slyly remarked back. "You're lucky I rode by in time to witness Yukimura abduct you. I merely did my job and alerted your men to recover you before anything bad happens."     "Tsk!" Nobuyuki turned around and exited the jail, Mitsuhide following behind.     "Now-now," Mitsuhide said, placing his hands innocently behind his back. "I answered your question, so answer one of mine."     "Speak," Nobuyuki spat, not looking back.     Mitsuhide quickly walked around Nobuyuki, stopping the older Sanada brother in his tracks as he leaned in closer. "What did your dear younger brother want? To ransom you? To kill you?...to switch sides, maybe?"     Nobuyuki grunted. "That was four questions!" he angrily muttered, clearly annoyed by the persistent Secretive Schemer.     "Actually, that would be three variations of the initial question," Mitsuhide calmly explained, "Any information will be useful in wringing out what that little foreigner knows."

    Nobuyuki sighed frustratingly. He stared back at the smirking Mitsuhide. First, he was abducted, and now he was being questioned? How annoying! But, it seemed that Mitsuhide does not know anything much about what Yukimura had told him. He knew Mitsuhide would never stop torturing Thai, but he knew from Thai's crazy bravado to fight against an army alone that he would never rat Yukimura out.     "...he wanted to retake his position as daimyo of the Sanada," Nobuyuki answered, "He thought at first to torture me out of it, but then thought to kill me in a coup."     "And...that was it?" Mitsuhide asked. He extended his hand to Nobuyuki's face, the latter gasping suddenly as Mitsuhide's finger graze under Nobuyuki's healing black eye. "Hmm..."     Nobuyuki swatted Mitsuhide's hand away angrily. "Get off of me!" he roared.     "Sorry, Lord Nobuyuki!" Mitsuhide coyly responded, putting his hands up. "I meant no offense. But, it sure seems like he had his way with you."     Nobuyuki sighed, his fists clenching. "...if it wasn't for you, he would have had my head." Nobuyuki forced himself to bow to Mitsuhide. "...thank you, Lord Mitsuhide."     Mitsuhide giggled, bearing no response other than to turn and walk away.

    Nobuyuki sneered silently as Mitsuhide disappeared. He went to go back to his living quarters but stopped before exiting the hall. He stayed in place for a minute, turning back around before silently heading back to the jail. He silently closed the door behind him, sighing as he stared down the hallway leading to Thai's cell. He appeared in front of the beaten foreigner from across the bars of the cell, a tinge of remorse in his eyes as he stared at Thai's slumped body. It was badly bruised and bleeding, the fresh cut on his chest seeping with crimson blood. No doubt he had at least a broken rib.     "...are you gonna keep staring...or are you gonna beat me some more," Thai coughed up. His eyes remained glued to the ground.     Nobuyuki gulped, placing one hand on the jail cell bars. "...you knew we could easily intercept you down the river if everyone jumped. Even a minute would stop us from catching up to them so easily. Did you really think you could fight all of us alone? Or, was this your way of dying so that you wouldn't be captured?"     Thai looked up, his chest slowly heaving as his lungs pumped air in and out of his body. "Did...did you get him?" Thai asked.     Nobuyuki shook his head. "You may not believe a word I say, foreigner, but my younger brother escaped. Your plan worked."     Thai sighed, lowering his head. His entire body felt sick, his mind shaking as if being rocked by a boat in a turbulent sea, yet he was satisfied. "Graças aos deuses," Thai softly muttered. "Well...I guess the cat is out of the bag that Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi are still alive. I'm sure that your white-haired man with my blade is already going to tell everyone."

    Nobuyuki unlocked the cell door, closing it behind them before stepping toward the foreigner. He crouched down to meet his eyes, the foreigner waiting for Nobuyuki to throw a punch. But, all that came were words. "...he still doesn't know," Nobuyuki softly answered Thai. "None of my men know. Only me and you."     Thai looked at Nobuyuki in disbelief. "You're right...I don't believe you," Thai softly muttered.     Nobuyuki scoffed lightly. "...how has Nobushi—er, Yukimura been doing?"     Thai stayed silent. He merely glared at Nobuyuki, disregarding his question at first. Yet, as they looked at each other, Thai sensed that Yukimura must have gotten to him somehow during his abduction. He knew he could accidentally leak information, but he could see behind Nobuyuki's eyes that seeing Yukimura so desperate was torturing him. He would have to play his cards right. "...he's torn," Thai answered. "Just like all of you are. Can I ask you something?" Nobuyuki thought for a moment, nodding once. "Did...did you really think...splitting the clan like this was a good idea?" Thai asked. "I got Yuki's answer...but I wanna hear yours if you're willing to entertain a dying man's wish."     Nobuyuki kept his mouth shut. He remembered vividly the moment he and his younger brother were brought in by their father to discuss his biggest decision as daimyo. He remembered the shouting, the tears, the entire conversation that felt like days of reckoning compared to the few hours they actually spent. He remembered seeing the horrid look on Yukimura's face as he was sent off to be Tokugawa's hostage. He remembered saying to Yukimura to not worry about him—that they're "doing what is best for the clan." He did not dare question his father, and it worked—the Sanada lived.

    But...at what cost? Did they really flourish? Were they as prosperous and strong as they seemed? Or, were they merely allowed to live another day?

    "...I wished it didn't have to come to this," Nobuyuki answered.     Thai let out a pained exhale. "Me neither...one more thing, Lord Nobuyuki." Nobuyuki leaned closer to Thai, tears welling in the corners of the foreigner's eyes. "If you see Yuki again...can you tell him I died swiftly?"     Nobuyuki gasped softly, yet he remained composed. "You must have been close to Yuki," he said.     Thai shrugged. "Eh, something like that. I wish...I wish I could have spent more time with him. Would you tell him that, too?"

    Even Thai knew Mitsuhide wouldn't let him go so easily. Nobuyuki sighed, nodding. "I will."     Thai nodded back. "It was nice getting to know you, Lord Nobuyuki," Thai sarcastically muttered, "In another time...I feel like we coulda been friends."     Nobuyuki scoffed. "I doubt it."     Thai shrugged. "You...never know. Life's a mystery."

    They were safe. They were well outside the reach of Nobuyuki's forces. No one appeared to be following them. They were free to return back to Kasugayama. Thai's plan worked—they were all safe. So, why did no one start to leave immediately for Kasugayama?     Yukimura stood atop the hill of a plain of grass, his eyes full of regret as they gazed back towards the direction of Ueda. He felt the soft cotton surface of Thai's patuá, the amulet that he claimed granted the wearer protection and divinity. He looked down at it, the string snapped off. It was Thai's last gift to him—the gift of the protection he cherished dearly in this chaotic time—and Thai trusted it to him instead.     "Idiot..." Yukimura muttered to himself. He shut his eyes, squeezing the Patuá tightly within his grip. "Why...why did you do that?"

    He heard the soft steps of Saizou approaching behind him. Yukimura opened his red eyes, the light of the midday sun nearly blinding him as he turned to meet Saizou.     "Any sign of him?" Yukimura asked.     Saizou shook his head. "Yukimura, it's been enough time," he said. "We should leave."

    If they left in the first place, Thai would still be with them. They both knew this to be true, yet he chose to stay and abduct his brother. He chose to follow through with a suicidal plan, thinking everything would be fine. Yukimura slumped down on the ground, a shaky exhale leaving his strained throat. Saizou sat beside him, Sasuke joining the two.     "Yuki..." Sasuke asked softly. "Did he..."     Yukimura sighed, rubbing his brow. "...he stayed behind," he answered, his tone deep with regret. "He...he made sure we could escape."

    Sasuke fell silent, his gaze falling to the ground. The whole region fell silent. The breeze from the mountains flowed through the tall grass of the plains. The trees stood still, fallen leaves gliding through the wind before gently falling to the ground. Yukimura shuddered from the incoming breeze of the cold. His heart felt heavy, his knees coming closer to his face. It was his fault. He was supposed to be a leader, yet in his blind quest to convert his brother back to his cause, he couldn't hold his promise to protect Thai.

    "Thai knew the risks," Saizou said. "We should honor his wish...and return home."

    "How could you say that?" Yukimura growled, his face whipping around to meet Saizou. "If it was you trapped in there, I would go back for you!"

    Saizou stared at Yukimura, his mouth dropping slightly ajar. "....you...you can't be thinking of going back?" he gasped.

     Yukimura stood up. His eyes were plastered toward the direction of Ueda. Saizou stood up frantically to Yukimura as the latter stepped down the hill towards the others. "Lord Yukimura!" Saizou said as he followed closely behind Yukimura. "If what you said was true, then Thai is dead!"     "We don't know that," Yukimura grunted back.     "Going back is suicide!" Saizou continued to argue. "If he is alive, then he will have the entirety of Ueda locked down to prevent anything like that from ever happening! We have to go!"     "Yuki," Sasuke interjected, running up to his side. "I spied a village not far from here where we can get some horses. From there, we can form a plan and get Thai back."     Saizou guffawed in utter bewilderment. "You, too!?"

    Undeterred, Yukimura walked down to where the rest of his team was sitting and drying their clothes. All eyes darted to their lord as he made his way to the center of the group. He scanned each and every shinobi around him, a resolved streak across his gaze. His fist tightened around the cloth charm in his palm as his eyes narrowed.     "I promised every man here that they would come back from this mission alive," Yukimura began to say in a melancholic tone. "The same could not be said for Thai or Sasuke. But, in my eyes..." Yukimura turned to an intently listening Sasuke, "...you two were just as involved in this as everyone else." He sighed, looking back to his rising comrades. "I told everyone here I was planning to steal back my father's gunbai, but in reality, I went back to reclaim the Sanada Clan from my brother. I wanted to reason with him to come back to our cause. Against Lord Shingen's command and Thai's wishes, I foolishly thought I could do this. But, here we stand—Thai is missing...our lords' cover blown...everything I had done for this fool's errand could potentially be the downfall of the alliance. If I go back now...it may result in my execution."

    Everyone let out a silent gasp. A single tear shed down from Yukimura's eye and across his cheek. He suddenly shot his tear-filled eyes at Saizou, his brow furrowing as he stepped toward him. "If I have to die to make up for the mistakes I had done today, then so be it, but I promised everyone that they will make it back alive," Yukimura's voice strained. "I will go back to Ueda and rescue Thai. Come with me, or leave and return home. Blame everything on me—but, there is no way I'm returning without him. I cannot allow that."

    A deafening silence once again fell across the group. Yukimura merely glared at Saizou, the warm tears streaming down his cheeks. He soon walked towards his things, hoisting them up towards his shoulder before walking off. Sasuke took this cue to grab his things, following closely behind Yukimura on their second suicidal mission. Yukimura doubted anyone would follow after them, but he did not care. They made it out alive—that was what mattered—but, he would not leave Thai to an unknown fate.     "Our chances of survival are slim to none," Sasuke muttered. "To pull this off, we would need a miracle and a half."     Yukimura gulped, wiping the tears from his flushed cheeks with his sleeve, looking back down at the cloth pouch in his hand. "We have what we need," Yukimura answered softly.     "Understood," Sasuke said, pushing up his glasses.     "...Sasuke..."

    Sasuke looked back at Yukimura. His light hazelnut eyes were red, his hair disheveled and trodding exhausted. He looked at Sasuke whimsically. "I'm...sorry...about all of this." Yukimura's voice choked. "He was your friend. I should have listened to him."     "What's done is done," Sasuke said. He kept his stoic nature and calm demeanor, yet inside he grew frightened of what they may find waiting for them in Ueda. "I also promised Thai his safety. It is my responsibility to care for him."     Yukimura flashed a half smile at his friend. "Thanks." He looked back ahead, his expression tightening back to focus. "Now, let's go save him."
