Tired of people saying Indigo Park is a cashgrab, mf it's free!
The only reason why there's merch was because fans wanted it, people were buying bootlegs so the only thing they could think of was to put out official merch and that money is going into the game, I have never made a game before but I assume it's not easy and it costs too, paying the voice actors and people who helped work on it
It's also a passion project
#I know I keep on saying this but it's irritating seeing people overlook it as ' cashgrab ' ' ripoff ' ' feeding the kids '#I saw a post in the indigo park tag that said they hoped it dies and burns in hell#in response to ' mascot horror ' because ' ALL amascot horrors are bad '#it does feel so wrong to assume Indigo Park is another ' mascot horror kids bait game '#it feels like they didn't even see the game and they just made that assumption because ' Mascot horror = bad '#but ignoring the passion behind indigo park and saying this in a hateful way just feels wrong#you could have said you didn't like it and that's fine#But it's like you're just being a dick#Whatever happened to ' hey I don't like this game but it's fine if everyone else likes it '??#Or at least think about why people like it and try to see it from their perspective#when something I'm not into is mentioned to me#My usual response is ' It's not really for me but if you want to talk about it that's fine '#And figure out why they like it#An angel loses its wings whenever someone is just blatantly hateful about something without seeing it for what it is#It's giving ' if you like horror movies there's something fundamentally wrong with you '#That one stupid ass tiktok video

" i know that you got daddy issues, and i do too " - todoroki x reader
it's not a song fic i just have a really messed up relationship with my dad lol - i don't have a lot of direction for this, it's just a little lazy & venty,, we'll see where it goes ♡
it was one of those nights where 1-a was all tired from the long school week, but not enough to fall asleep. they happened every once in a while, and always resulted in the majority of the class hanging out together in the common area doing whatever together until they all crashed for the evening.
the open downstairs was filled with the sound of idle conversation and super smash bros, but most of everyone's attention on the ladder. it started with just the bakusquad, but once katsuki ran undefeated, almost everyone else in the class took it upon themselves to try and overthrow the king. so far, nobody was successful. ururaka came close, but to no avail. she took the defeat like a champ, though.
while most everyone huddled around the tv, yelling things like "KICK HIS ASS" and "SHUT UP YOU BASTARD I'M TRYING TO FOCUS" (yeah), there were a few who had strayed from the pack. tokoyami and shoji were over by the dining tables playing a game of chess, and kouda was reading a book on a couch off to the side, using his classmates as white noise.
and then there was you.
you were settled on top of the kitchen island, legs crossed, with one earbud in. it wasn't that you didn't want to be around your friends, you had grown slightly overstimulated and needed a moment to recollect your thoughts.
you rolled a lollipop of your favorite flavor around in your mouth, absentmindedly scrolling through pinterest. your mind was on anything but aesthetically pleasing pictures, brows furrowed as your thoughts wandered back to your family. you sighed and squeezed your phone for a moment before turning it off and setting it down next to you. you just needed to distract yourself. something more.
in that moment, one of your classmates strolled into the kitchen. you looked up at todoroki, who was holding an empty mug.
"hey," he smiled at you softly as he made his way over to the stove. "what are you still doing in here?"
"ah, iida hasn't noticed me sitting on the countertop yet." you chuckled at your own joke, feeling the smallest butterflies when he grinned back at you. "what about you?"
"just getting a refill." he said, picking up the kettle of tea momo had put on earlier (omg.) and filling his mug. "and checking on you."
"oh-" you looked up at him in surprise, cocking your head to the side slightly. "really? for why?"
"you didn't look like you were doing too well earlier." he said bluntly, leaning against the counter facing you and taking a sip of his drink.
"ah... yeah," you looked away and laughed awkwardly, playing with your rings.
"are you?"
"am i what?"
when you turned to look back at him, his expression had changed. less neutral, more... worried. compassionate.
"are you not doing well?"
you opened your mouth to say something. "i'm fine, thank you though!" was was you had always answered with. you were tired, or you were just zoning out, anything but not okay. yet the way he looked at you made you hesitate. saying you were doing just fine was so second nature, but it was almost hard to lie to him.
before you could actually answer, your phone started to buzz softly. you both turned your attention to it, reading the name in the caller id line.
"dad"
you bit your lip and furrowed your brow. it continued to vibrate in your hand a few more times, before you declined the call. you quickly set your phone down and looked straight ahead. you have no idea why, but your eyes began to water. you took a shaky deep breath, and made an attempt to spell out your thoughts, something you learned earlier in life to help keep from crying.
"y/n..." todoroki set down his mug and took a step towards you, carefully.
"hmm?" your voice was tight as you avoided eye contact, trying to keep from blinking, afraid it would push a tear out.
you took on last deep breath and spelled out one last phrase, before you felt your eyes finally dry. you sighed and put your lollipop back in your mouth, facing him with a smile like nothing had happened.
"i see."
you cocked your head to the side in confusion, watching as he pulled himself up onto the counter and sitting across from you. you pulled your knees to your chest and rested your chin atop them. he noted your look of curiosity and held out a hand to you. you hesitated for a moment before carefully placing your fingers to his palm. he shifted until he was sitting close, holding your hand in his, tracing over your bones and knuckles softly, fiddling with your rings.
"i understand, i mean. i think." his voice was low and soft. anyone standing further than a few feet away would have a hard time hearing him. "whatever your reason for ignoring that call, whyever you did it... i've got dozens of calls from my old man i never bothered to pick up."
when you looked up at him, you saw his eyes glues to your fingers tangled with his. he touched your hands so delicately, as if you were made of glass. he was so full of care. his touch, the way he looked at you, all of it. it was all so full of the most tender affection.
"you don't need to talk about it, if you don't want to. God knows it took me forever to open up to midoriya," he smiled a bit. "i just wanted you to know the offer is out there, if you need it."
you bit down on your lollipop to try and hide how big that'd made you smile. the second you opened your mouth to say something, you heard iida begin to raise his voice, something about curfew and going to bed.
both you and todoroki turned to see him coming into the kitchen, stiffening when he notices you.
"both of you should get off the counter right now! this is living space, for goodness sake! and still school property."
you chuckled and waved a hand at him, already climbing off. "alright, class rep, don't get your panties in a twist. we're going." you tossed your sucker in the bin as todoroki stepped onto the floor, too.
"good. now get some good rest tonight, we've all had a long week and you've earned it. sleep well, both of you."
"you too, iida."
you and todoroki offered him tired smiles as you made your way past him to the elevator. when you got inside, you practically collapsed against the wall with an exasperated sigh. todoroki went ahead and pushed the button for his floor, but not yours. you didn't question it, maybe he'd forgotten. so instead, you pushed yourself off the wall and moved towards the panel. your outstretched hand halted to a stop when you felt arms wrap around your torso. before you could turn, you felt todoroki's nose nuzzle into your neck. he took a deep breath that made you shiver.
"come over, to my room. we can talk. or not. i can distract you, do whatever you want. i'm not tired yet."
feeling his breath on your skin practically made your heart leap into your throat. you stood, frozen for a moment, gasping softly when his grip on you tightened ever so slightly. you wondered if he could feel your heart beating, with how close he was to your main pulse points. his lips, so close...
you leaned back into him and put your hands over his, wrapped around your waist. "yeah... me neither."
you could practically feel him smile as another small exhale of his grazed your neck, making you shiver. "i'll play with your hair if you want, play with your fingers... just hold you."
as if his words hadn't already done it, you practically melted in his hands when his lips pressed against your neck for a long second. you hummed in response, blushing furiously.
"just relax pretty girl, i promise i'll be there for you however you need me."
idk man its wtv !
i'm officially out of ideas right now, requests are open to anybody, feel free to be as specific or detailed or even vague as you like and please please please don't be shy <33
i love you sm okay bye !!

Hey everyone, it pains me to say this, but I will no longer be running an ask blog format for my au "Sizzling Waters".
I know he means a lot to you, as does he to me, but I'm afraid I'll spite my creation the harder I work on it.
I will no longer be answering asks talking to Sizzle or any of his counterparts, sort of. I don't want this story to die, it's still a fascinating au, and I still want all of you to hear it. I just can't continue telling the story like I was without it decaying slowly.
Please learn more below the cut.
I'll answer asks, on the occasion with drawings if I feel like it or I need to show something. Asks u am looking for are:
Asks to continue on the story: ask the right question to find out the story (what happens when SW reaches FP, What happens after this event, etc...)
Ask about alternatives: what would have happened if so and so lived/died?
Ask facts about the character: what is Sizzle's favorite smell? (Can be about something that generally wouldn't/didn't happen such as "what's Sizzle's favorite type of chocolate?")
Ask the characters stats/in game quirks: how would sizzle and his buddies play in a campaign? (Please ask these questions in small segments, otherwise it would be too much or fit in a post)
And feel free to try anything else, if I don't feel like it, I won't answer it.
Now for something important!
Would you guys prefer a second blog? This would act as a sort of archive and informational source of Sizzle's story. It would also be a convenient place to send asks about the AU (if you accidentally/want to send them to this main blog for whatever reason, that is fine too, it will just be rebloged to the archive account.) I will preface this by saying this is something I've wanted to do for a while now↓
I will still draw Sizzle in my free time and for fun, as he is my character who I still hold dearly. And that is why I am trying to balance this as delicately as possible.
Have you sent a sizzle asks to me but I have not answered it?: they will most likely not be answered here, feel free to resend them though.
I sincerely hope you all can understand, feel free to ask about this plan.

i didn't win the wheel: episode 7 (pt. 2)
[game ends, Logan loses but they both fumbled their way through the whole thing; they apologize for their lack of knowledge]
Logan: "It's not intentional at all, I respect–"
Alex (pointing at Logan): "Tell us about NASCAR, he'd know everything!"
Logan: 😁
this isn't the first time alex has done this and it won't be the last, but watch alex's reaction when logan loses at something. like, literally anything. when they're competing and alex is ahead, he'll tease, laugh, celebrate each little point that puts him in front of logan. but what about when the challenge is over– when it's time for somebody else to come in with the comparison? when an outside voice needs to be the one to say "alex, congrats on the win; logan, you lost"? alex is immediately averse to it. there's an old video where they're doing something similar to "who's more likely to" and the question comes up about who does better starts; i'll find it but alex absolutely fumbles through his answer. shoulders shrugging in on himself, voice getting quieter. "well um i am– i mean actually, so far, i've been... a bit better at it than, than logan has". he's fine with being the best but he's not fun with being reminded that logan is the worst. all of the sudden alex has this protective side coming out, he's literally putting an entire arm between the camera and logan, and this isn't even the first time he's stood like that during a video or a photoshoot. he shrinks into himself when he gets silly and flustered but there are these microscopic shifts and tone and he's a guard dog. like when he was the ONLY ONE to say remotely anything good or at least forgiving about logan's performance out of the whole fucking team pointing out that "He's been doing a great job in the last few races. I don't think it's really been understood because we aren't driving the same car. He's a great driver with great raw speed" (this was in late june). which, considering how the rest of the team treat logan? bold move. when logan's confident in himself– even about a stupid basketball challenge or whatever– is when alex is most comfortable. so here he steps in with a completely unrelated topic, even though he's been surprisingly quiet this whole video (for alex) to remind everyone, "hey, this isn't his area of expertise, but don't fucking underestimate him he will blow you out of the water with nascar facts".
Alex: "So, the prizes are, Logan– it's a spark model car..."
this. fucking. moment. this is right after alex has done his little nascar-themed pick me up, and there's actually a sudden cut in the video at this moment so who knows maybe there was just the beginnings of a nascar tangent going on and they needed a little redirection (with how much redirection these two need on-screen it's surprising they get any footage at all). but what's just happened is that alex has taken ANY chance of logan being told "you lost" or "you didn't make it" into a little ego-boost instead. and logan pulls an alex then, laughing suddenly and unexpectedly like whoaa i did not expect to be feeling these feelings and looking down in the middle of what he was trying to say. they switch back and forth between roles so comfortably, so seamlessly, it's like you can't even describe their relationship in clearly defined roles because they take turns looking after each other.
hand-on-the-hip-leaning-over-the-table-to-gaze-helplessly-into-each-other's-eyes okay boys is that your signature move now?? logan has this way of following alex with his eyes, even as alex fidgets around and shifts and has so much restless energy, logan is so still and stable beside him and the contrast would make me anxious but they're comfortable and familiar with how they each occupy space and they know how to share it.
and the fact that alex says logan's name here. in the middle of his sentence. during the most administrative, the most rehearsed, the simplest (they're literally reading words off an ipad) part of the video. and it's not even akin to the way logan uses small hand gestures to shift alex's focus. logan is completely focused, he literally goes from turning to the camera/instructor to leaning into alex waiting for the moment when the wheel spins and they get to crowd close. he makes room for alex before it's even the time yet because he's ready and he's welcoming and he's anticipating that they're going to be close to each other and yep, alex leans forward and diagonal and right into the space. it's like when you make a circle out of tape on the floor and your cat immediately sits in the middle. and i don't think either of them even realize that they're doing this, that they've formed a routine within this routine. but alex saying logan's name? while logan is already focused, and also not interrupting, and while this part is supposed to be for the audience who will actually get the prizes. the fact that he interrupts himself to add the name is so indicative. it's almost as if he'd intended to say the name all along but forgot at the last second but even as they leaned in close to each other and alex made that nascar joke and they're finally at least a little bit relax alex needs to make a point. he says logan's name when he's talking directly to logan on a regular basis. i don't have to do a behavior analysis of that, right? we all know what it feels like to carry the shape of someone's name in your mouth all the time that the silence aches without them and when you get to see them and say it out loud just remind yourself that this is who you are to me? moving on.
Alex: "If you want to win that prize of a framed bodywork, make sure to check out the Williams website, williams f1 dot com, or–" (turns expectantly to Logan)
Logan (doesn't miss a beat): "–visit the app!"
Alex (laughing even as Logan steps away): "We're getting good at this!"
oh, alex. he's gonna break your heart, and it won't even be his fault.
something happened with alex over the course of this episode. blink and you miss it– well shit, i must've blinked because i definitely missed something. the last, like, twenty seconds of it. reminding the camera that they both struggled and that logan's loss doesn't mean that he isn't smart, leaning into logan as if they have a prechoreographed pose required for The Wheel, saying logan's name for literally no reason ("logan i'm trying to tell you that even though the game is over and we have to read off the cards again and they're about to end the video i still want this to be about us because there is an us when we play like this and i'm telling myself and i'm telling the world that that's what i'm getting out of this"). three minutes of a dejected confused flop of content (from the william's admin side, total fail) and suddenly alex has been hit with some lovestruck epiphany and his behavior. is more obvious. these two are not obvious with each other. charlos will openly use pet names and then insist on other pet names and perform wedding vows on a golf cart. landoscar are more subtle, but it's always been easy to read between the lines and the facial expressions give it all away anyway. but these two are not obvious withe themselves or with each other (spare the one little miracle moment of episode 4) and they're not even in a situation where being obvious is fun let alone easy. but what happened the last time we were at this point in the video? the doors closed, the lights went off. alex got like 2 seconds of the logan he cherishes and then got shut the fuck out because they'd already spun the stupid wheel, and subconsciously or not alex hasn't forgotten that. he's reaching out to logan in the middle of his sentences. because every second that passes with logan not talking is a second of logan that alex is losing, and he's trying to just drag this out and it's obvious and clumsy desparation. giving logan the cue in a way that was clearly improvised even though i know they must hate all the retakes. logan picking it up instantly. alex's face literally falling even as logan says the line because he can sense that it's fading, it's slipping, it's not working. then logan straight up leaves. before the camera turns off he's just walking away. alex's last little setup didn't work because the fucking video is over.
less actual imagery this time because there was less to work with. this episode was about 2 or 3 REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT moments that carried a lot of weight but were rare among a pretty extensive drone of statistics and depression. then again, episode 1 was pretty much the same format, and the alex and logan even from just a few months ago are not the alex and logan we have right now. i think alex is more aware of that than logan is and yeah.
he's gonna break it, alex.
episode 8

Hunted
Pairing: Liam Dunbar x reader
Warning: None
Chapter: 6.05
You sit in silence watching as Liam wraps tape around his lacrosse stick; nothing you could have said would change the way he feels. The ghost riders had taken all the people your pack tried so hard to protect, but Liam had taken it the hardest and was blaming himself. He arrived at the science lab just as the ghost rider that was trying to attack you vanished, looking so defeated and broken.
You presume it was the presence of a hellhound that scared the ghost rider off.
Hearing footsteps, you lift your head up, forcing a smile when Hayden, Mason, and Corey walk into the boys locker room. “What are you guys still doing here?”
Neither of you say anything.
“None of this was your fall.” Mason puts his hand on Liam’s shoulder. “There was just so much happening tonight, it was impossible to save everyone.”
After the game, Coach had made Liam team captain, and under any other circumstances he would have been delighted; becoming captain was something he had wanted for so long.
Feeling your phone vibrate, you walk to the other side of the changing room. The sound of static keeps interfering. “Scott, I can’t hear you.”
His voice comes through like mumbling.
“Can you say that again?”
He repeats himself, but this time his voice is clearer. The phone starts to slip from your grip, but Hayden is by your side and catches it before it hits the ground.
“What’s happened?” Liam wraps his arm around your waist, holding you upright. “Babe, what’s happened?”
“My uncle Chris is in the hospital.”
—
“You should be in school.”
Hearing your uncle's voice, you sit upright in the hard plastic chair you were starting to doze off in. Seeing him with so many injuries made tears well up in your eyes; it was bringing back the pain of losing Allison. “I thought I was going to lose you.”
He strokes the back of your back, “I’m going to be fine.”
“I don’t want to lose anyone else.”
Just as you begin to hysterically sob, Melissa comes into the room and kneels down so she’s level with you. “Hey, Chris is going to be fine. Argent’s are made of rubber.”
Y/n Argent.
That didn’t feel right.
You wanted… It definitely wasn’t your mom, and you don’t have a dad anymore. Not since Kate killed the man she let you believe was your father for most of your life.
“I just feel so alone.”
Melissa pulls you in for a tight hug and says, “You’re not alone. I think you should stay with me and Scott until Chris is out of the hospital.”
“Thank you,” your uncle gives her an appreciative nod.
They make eye contact and share an intense look, one you try to ignore. The last thing you needed to think about was whatever was going on between the two of them.
“Yeah, thank you.”
Melissa stands back up and awkwardly breaks eye contact with your uncle, her cheeks turning red. She clears her throat while smoothing out her scrubs. “I have a spare key in my locker; I’ll go and get it. Unless you want to wait until I finish my shift.”
“I better go to Liam’s house first; I left my backpack for school at his. I can text Scott and ask him to pick me up on the way back home. But thank you; this means a lot.”
She gives you a warm smile, “Don't worry about it. You're in Scott's pack, and that makes you family.”
—
Feeling exhausted, you flop down onto the bed beside Liam. You chuckle lightly when Liam outstretches his arm so you can cuddle into him. “Can I ask you something?”
“Shoot.”
“Do you ever get the feeling something is wrong but you can’t fully understand or explain what’s wrong? I just... something has changed, but I’m not sure what.”
“I need to see what you just said in writing.”
You both laughed; you were so exhausted your brain felt as if it was turning to mush. “I just need to sleep before trying to have a real conversation again.”
“Scott knows you're here, doesn’t he?”
After showering, you said goodnight to Melissa and Scott. You went to sleep in the spare room, but you had this gnawing feeling in the back of your mind that Liam wasn’t okay, so you snuck out of the McCall house by climbing out of the window. We went to the Dunbar house. Melissa probably wouldn’t have been too happy, but unless she came to check on you during the middle of the night, she wouldn’t know.
“Yeah, Scott most definitely knows.”
“I can give you a lift back in a couple of hours before Mrs. McCall gets up.”
You cuddle closer into him, “Thanks.”
Liam kisses your forehead, “But in the meantime, try and get some sleep.”
Not long after your eyes shut over, you begin to dream of different things, and even while in a dream-like state, you still feel a sense of deja vu. You see a board with different names on it, but none of them are clear enough to read. You are in a hospital bed, and someone is holding your hand, but you can’t see beyond their arm. And the last thing you remember seeing is seeing writing on your hand.

first date
ik i’m mad late and your birthday probably already passed but here is the birthday entry for a really awesome person @yourrfavzxri ! i hope you enjoy it! <3
PROMPT: "i asked your father." "what?" "then i asked your mother because it's the twenty-first century." "i'm sorry, you asked them what exactly?" "well i don't really know how this works so i asked them for their blessing for me to take you out for dinner. it was a yes."
You and Reiner had been dating for a few months now, nearly a year but you haven’t been on one date. Of course you knew that there was more to dating than the going out every weekend, especially when you had a busy college athlete on your hands, but a part of you did want that kind of time with him. You were just too timid to express that to him. But you weren’t the only one with those same concerns on your mind.
Because Reiner didn’t want to seem like a complete idiot for not knowing the ins and outs of a date, he asked Sasha, your dearest friend.
“You’re pathetic.” Sasha said flatly when he had told her that he hasn’t taken you on any dates yet.
“I know, it’s just… I’ve been busy. Y’know the championship is coming up so we’ve been—“
“Making sure you’re in shape to win. Whatever, I get that. It just seems like you’re putting football over my Y/n and I don’t like that.” Although Reiner was in love with the game, he could say he loved you more. But he could understand why Sasha was feeling that way when he got caught up in training enough to forget about everything and everyone else.
“Can you help me, please?” Reiner pleaded.
Sasha rolled her eyes before opening her mouth to speak.
On a bright Saturday afternoon, you were home for the weekend and it was chill day for you and your family. While you were watching Netflix upstairs in your room, you were thinking about what Reiner was doing. You knew you haven’t had a chance to properly hang out with Reiner lately due to all the practices he’s been to, so you weren’t really mad about it. You just had to admit that you missed him sometimes.
That was also the reason why you were surprised that Reiner texted you asking if you were free. Of course you were free, it was a matter if he was free enough for you so you answered his question. Within seconds he was at your door.
“Y/n! The door!” You lazily got up to go downstairs to the door and was shocked to see Reiner at the door with a bouquet of flowers. You didn’t even know how to respond, as you’ve never been in such a situation.
“Reiner, hey… what are you doing here? With flowers?” You asked as you let him in and locked the door behind him.
“I know I probably should’ve let you know beforehand but I wanted to—“
Your mom came downstairs to see what was going on and was visibly flattered by Reiner’s flowers more than you were.
“Aww, Reiner~ We weren’t expecting you today. If I knew you were coming, I would’ve cleaned up a bit.” From your perspective, the house wasn’t even dirty. It just looked like it was lived in and your mom was being extra as per usual.
“No, it’s perfectly fine Ms. L/n.” Your mom looked at you and smirked then looked at Reiner again.
“So what’s the occasion?” Your mom crossed her arms over her chest. You knew that your mom would try to talk Reiner’s head off for a bit so you went upstairs to take a shower, brush your teeth, find some cute clothes to wear, and fix up your hair into something.
When you came back downstairs, your mom looked like she was finished talking and was ready to let you go wherever Reiner wanted to take you.
“Reiner is taking you out—“
“I figured, what happened to the flowers?”
“I was nice enough to put them in a vase for you. Thank you, mom~” You thanked her before joining your hand with Reiner’s.
“You ready to go?” Reiner turned towards you and you nodded.
“Bye, momma!”
“Have a good one, Ms. L/n!” And with that the two of you got in Reiner’s truck and drove off.
“So what made you wanna take me out today?”
“Well, because I love you. But also because I know I’ve been really busy due to the championship coming up and I didn’t want you to think I didn’t have time for you anymore.” Although you did a good job of convincing yourself that your boyfriend was a busy man and you respected that, a part of you did feel a bit of neglect because along with not going out, he also got bad at texting and calling so you did feel a bit insecure.
“And I didn’t want your parents to think I’m a douche or anything, so I did..” He hesitated a bit.
“You did what?”
“I asked your parents if I could take you out since this would be the first time.” Your eyebrows were raised as no one has ever went to that length for you before.
“I asked your father first on the way to your house,”
“What?” You were confused as to how he got your father’s number but you realized that the two of them would work out together every now and then.
“And then I asked your mother because it’s the twenty-first century,” He laughed. “I’m sorry if it seemed weird to do that, I’m just new to all this so I just wanted their blessing to… y’know.” You knew Reiner was getting a bit flustered because he wasn’t finishing his sentences and his words were starting to run together.
“Well thank you,” You got a hold of his free hand and squeezed it. “For being such a gentleman.”
His ears reddened at the tips as he raised your hand up to his lips, placed a gentle kiss on your knuckles. “Anything for you.”

S.E.E.S, but Pokemon. (Kudos to those who can tell who's who without the readmore)
More info after the cut!
Tried to make everyone look like themselves without adding clothing/accessories. More difficult than expected, but a nice challenge!
I imagine either only persona users can use their moves (at all, or effectively, not entirely sure which) or when they use their personas (personamon?) they appear as an altered version of their fully evolved forms. Kinda like the second one better, as a way to use more powerful attacks and keep in theme with Persona games
Tried to keep them with their elemental affinities:
Mitsuru Kirijo: Sneasel. It just had the right vibe for her, and I curled the tail (feathers?) to make it look like her hair (although Akihiko is standing in front of most of them).
Akihiko Sanada: Pawmo. I needed electric type, and with his affinity for boxing and being fit, I figured an electric/fighting type would work well for him! Didn't want to do Pawmi because it wasn't yet fighting type (maybe he evolves sometime after The Fire) and didn't want to do Pawmot because no one else is evolved, so having him be max evolution would feel *weird*.
Shinjiro Arakgaki: Scraggy. A solely phys skill user HAS to be fighting type. There were several choices for him - Mankey was one, I believe - though something about Scraggy's appearance made me go with it.
Minato Arisato / Makoto Yuki: Castform (Sunny). I like to make the wild cards pokemon with several forms, or the ability to transform in some way. His 'base' form in Tartarus is Sunny, since Orpheus has fire attacks, but he shifts with whatever element he's using.
Yukari: Ducklett (Shiny). She was just going to be normal ducklett, but then I remembered the shiny was pink, and it makes her more 'special' and talk of the school, so I decided that's fine haha. Flying is the wind equivalent, here, so it was hard to Not make her some sort of bird. It works though, I think!
Junpei Iori: Charcadet. Needed a fire type, and charcadet seemed spunky enough to be him, out of the ones available. After Chidori [redacted], his personamon changes from an Armarouge-equivalent to a Ceruledge-equivalent.
Fuuka Yamagishi: Psy attacks don't exist in p3, though they do in p5, who I also already pokemoned, but Psychic still fits both psy attacks and navi abilities, so I'll let them overlap. She was able to avoid being killed in Tartarus for 10 hours, so she would have been using teleport to keep herself safe, as well as other psychic moves to detect where shadows lurked. Wanted a pokemon not usually known for attacking, to fit more with the navi role.
Aigis: Iron Valiant. Another phys-heavy user, so I wanted fighting type, and Iron Valiant happened to be just that. Looks like Gallade/Gardevoir (*is* Gallade/Gardevoir but in the future/ an alternate dimension?) but is also distinctly Robotic. Luckily most people pin the oddness about her as 'why is she fully evolved and in highschool' rather than 'hey, that's not a pokemon I know, what the hell'.
Koromaru: Houndour (Albino). There are not too many fire/dark pokemon, to go along with Koro's fire/curse attacks, and one of them just Happened to be a dog. I had to. I also made up an 'albino' coloration, based off of real albino dogs. If shiny, as a genetic mutation exists, then others can as well!
Ken Amada: Dedenne. Very similar to Koro, there are exactly two (2) pokemon that are electric/fairy, as I equate bless to fairy type, and one of those was a legendary. So Ken is Dedenne. It oddly works out, since he looks up to Akihiko, and they're both small, rodent pokemon (who happen to be their pkmn generation's equivalent of pikachu :P)
I have Many more thoughts on this crossover, if anyone wants to talk about it! I have a few more P3 characters planned out (Strega, pharos, ryoji, nyx avatar), P4's Investigation team, and P5's Phantom Thieves, though I need to actually Draw them all.
#Persona 3#Persona 3 Reload#p3#Pokemon#pkmn#mitsuru kirijo#akihiko sanada#makoto yuki#minato arisato#yukari takeba#junpei iori#fuuka yamagishi#aigis#koromaru#ken amada#shinjiro aragaki#so many tags#Mac yaks#whentvsdraw#also!!! Used their p3:RE art as a reference for the poses. Some of the pokemon do Not fit well with the poses though *looks at Ken*

Merc, could I get "enchanting" for either Marjorie Gordon/Gale Cleven, or Joan Warren/Gale Cleven? Thanks!
Kat, I am really math-ladying memeing over the thought of Joan and Gale being an Item, but Gale and Marj (my Marj, sorry actual Marge) is catnip.
So here it is. Assume, for the purposes of debate, that Marj and Joan and everyone else decided joining the Air Force was more exciting than joining the Airborne
He wished she could be outside.
The weather was fine, for December - one of those bright, cold blue days where there was clear visibility for miles and every single pilot in the camp was itching to get his hands back into the yoke of his plane. The camp was almost bearable, on those days where you wouldn't want to be up in the soup - but on days like this? Being ground-bound was agony.
Gale glanced back up at the sky, half-wishing for a wisp of cloud - or the glimpse of a plane. Not that he'd ever get one - at the first sound of engine noise the guards would give the order to have everyone out of the yards and back inside the barracks, fearful that whatever they saw overhead would give away more news of the war.
But for some, even the scant pleasures of the winter sunlight were far away.
Gale ducked back inside the room he shared with the others, making his way carefully around the table with his hands in his coat pockets so he could pull up a chair next to one of the bunks, and the woman lying there reading a book.
She looked up at the scrape of his boots in the door. "Hey you. What happened to enjoying the sunshine?"
"Was coming to see my best girl," Gale said with a brief smile, lowering himself down onto the nearest crate. "How's the leg?"
Marj shifted a little in the narrow bunk, her breathing hitching a little. The bunks here weren't made for tall men or women, and Bucky and Marj both found it challenging to keep themselves where they were allotted - especially with Marj's leg still in its cast. She'd broken it on her jump, and letting it sit and fester for nearly a week certainly hadn't helped matters. She'd arrived at Stalug Luft III on a stretcher and in the throes of a fever that should have killed her, and the doctor had only just recently let her out of the infirmary and back into the general compound. "Still hurts. They tell me it's set fine, and now it's just a matter of letting it heal." She tried to smile. "You'll have to tell Bucky I don't think I'm gonna be able to pitch the next game."
"He'll understand."
"Or you'll make him?" Marj suggested with a wry smile. "I know how you work, Gale Cleven."
She knows me too well, he thought to himself. "If anyone catches him complaining about it, John'll have me to answer to," Gale promised. "You're too important to lose, Marj Gordon." Too important to me, he almost said, words to put paid to the thing they didn't say aloud, the thing that had no name. What kind of man lets a woman do his fighting? All the papers at home were filled with talk like that. The kind who trusts her to win just as well as he can, he always wanted to say. But it was one thing to win, and another to take on a green co-pilot because good pilots were spread thin, and lose your fort in a flak field, and bail out over Germany, and break your leg, and end up in a camp. He should have fought harder to keep her in his plane. Maybe if he'd done that she wouldn't have -
He sniffled, trying to hide whatever blush might have come out in his cheek and pulled something out of his pocket. "Here, brought you something," he said, holding out the can of Spam. "Traded some spare socks for it."
Marj set her book aside and took the can with reverent hands. Food was gold here, and it was a holy day indeed when you had a whole can of something to call your own. She looked up at him with conflicted eyes, the both of them knowing full well the can hadn't been traded for a single spare pair of socks. "Buck."
"Not going have that leg heal right on soup," he replied, refusing to rise to the accusation in her voice. "And we ought to find you a - a pair of crutches or something. Need to get you out, moving around again."
"You're not gonna offer me your arm?" Marj asked with only slight provocation.
Gale steeled himself, hating how much he loved the idea. Marjorie Gordon, if I do that they'll know I'm in love with you, he thought silently to himself. And I can't let them have that.

Okay so it is 1 am and I'm bored as fuck so I wrote a lil story that's not like complete at all I js wanted to know if it's a good idea. Its a story where Jecka and Nicole don't become friends right off the bat like they do in the game
"Karen, listen I don't know if I can-" Jecka said over the phone. "Jecka you promised! You promised you'll go with me since it's my first party!" "I know, I know but my mom just got mad at me because apparently I'm not preparing for college enough and she's gonna start giving me disciplinary tattoos if she finds out I'm going. You really don't have anyone else you can go with? Like... Ari?" Karen frowned. "You know I don't talk to her.. it's fine I guess. I just won't go."
She felt bad. Karen was telling her about this party that Kelly's throwing in her house the whole week. She really seemed excited too. "Fuck, Karen you're lucky I like you. Fine ill- just.. figure out something." Immediately she could hear squealing. "Thank you Jecka!! Thank you so much" "yea no problem, Karen. I gotta go now tho okay? See you on the party." And she hung up.
She sighed and threw herself on her comfy bed. Since the start of this school year she hasn't been talking to her old friends that much. They all have different lunch periods and she's been stuck forcing herself to try and understand any of the shit Karen and Jeffrey always talk about. She likes Karen but there's not much they have in common. Kelly is a major whore so she doesn't give a fuck about her but other than that she doesn't talk to anyone that much. It's not like she's a loser who's lonely with no friends, far from that, she's a perfect ten, but she doesn't have anyone that understands her like some of her old friends did.
She sighed again and opened her flip phone. On the screen it said 2:34 am. How has it been already an hour since she talked to Karen?? She should go to sleep. So as she does, she takes her earphones and plays whatever is on her shuffle right now and slowly falls asleep.
The day of the party. Everyone from school was invited (except Jeffrey). Jecka was already on her way in her 'Jeckamobile' as Jeffrey called it, to pick Karen up. Karen really needs to stop hanging out with Jeffrey.
For tonight's party she dressed preppy as usual. A white tank top and short jeans shorts. When she pulled up to Karen's house she already saw her waiting at the front. She gets into her car and Jecka turns around to look at her. She was actually not looking that nerdy anymore. The glasses are gone and she has a green dress on.
"Hey K. You're really pretty without glasses" Karen smiled. "You're skeeting on me??" Jecka was instantly horrified. "What the fuck?" "What?" Karen asked innocently. "You gave me a compliment so you're skeeting on me! Right?" "Uh, no-? The fuck, who told you that?" "Oh, the new girl that came to our school this year!" "Who? Nevermind that, never say that again. Skeeting does not mean complimenting people." "What does it mean then?" Jecka struggled. "Uh- I.. wooww look at the time! We should.. like go." She starts to drive and puts on the radio LOUD so she can pretend she doesn't hear Karen's questions in the back.
After a few minutes Jecka turns off the car and steps out. "Okay, Karen? At the party there's gonna be a lot of men who will want to molest you so if that happens, just try to find me, mkay? I'll tell them to fuck off or something." "You're not gonna be with me the whole time?" Jecka looked at the house. A lot of people were already there. "I'm probably going to get fucked up so Uh yeah. I'll try to be around you if you want."
They walk in into the house. Loud music immediately hits their ears. Flashing lights their eyes. Jecka knows exactly how this goes. Kelly's parties are the same boring ones for virgins to get laid. She sees Ari and Emily across the room so she walks to them.
"Hey" she looks at them. On a second thought they look awfully touchy. Like touchy. And they also smell like alcohol. "Heyy Jecka!! I didn't notice youu, when did you get here??" Ari said, while clinging onto Emily. "Just now, with Karen." Shit. Karen. Where is she? "NO way Bella Swan is here right now. Did she came with a twilight shirt on?" Emily laughed. Ari slowly clinged more onto her. "That's not nicee, Em.... I reaaally want to make out with you"
and so they did and Jecka left as quickly as she could. She took a cup of some alcohol that was on the table, hoping it wasn't mixed with some shit and took a sip. Wait. Fuck, Karen. She really needs to go find her.
She started looking everywhere for her. Crispin bumbed almost 6 times while she was running around the house and said "oohh my bad.. Wanna go out?" every single fucking time. She eventually gave up and texted her 'hey u alr?' And went to sit on a chair.
Suddenly she could her yelling. "Get your fucking hands off me, you dipshit!" Jecka looked over and saw a girl and Kylar. Of course it's Kylar trying to fuck some girl. Except this time she was surprisingly conscious. She barely recognised the girl. It was the new kid who just moved.
She didn't know anything about her, they never talked to each other. She was wearing a blue tanktop, black jeans and her hair in a ponytail. Her hair was actually really pretty. Everyone just got kind of quiet except the music and the girl yelling. "Oh come onn-" SLAM!! as soon as Kylar opened his mouth the girl hit him HARD on his face. Some people started clapping some were just shocked. Jecka just stared at the girl who now stood up and looked straight at Jecka.
She didn't break the contact until suddenly Jecka got a text message. "Hi, yeah I'm okay. I went home because I guess parties aren't my thing. Hope you have fun tho!" From Karen. When she went to look back at the girl she was gone. What the fuck.
The party came to an end and everyone went home. Jecka was still thinking about her. The way she hit him and then looked at her.. the way her eyes were incredibly blue even though the lights. Who the fuck was she?
"Who the fuck was she??" Jecka sat with Kelly at lunch. "What? Who?" "Bitch, are you even listening to me I just told you! Did Emily had fucking sales this morning in the bathroom or what the fuck?" Jecka looked annoyed at her. "She did. She even gave me a discount." "You're such- oh my god. Since when do you even do drugs?" "Helps me not think about my cousin." She said like it's a normal thing
"Ew- ew ew okay- just answer my question. Who was the girl that hit Kylar yesterday" suddenly Ari surprisingly sat next to Jecka. "I've got a question!" They looked at her. "Does anyone have Nicole's phone number??" What. "Why is everyone suddenly so obsessed with her?" Kelly was too high for this. "Ari, who's Nicole?" "You don't know? Did you see the girl who hit Kylar yesterday? That was Nicole"
Okay.. but why the fuck does she want her number "why the fuck do you want her number?" Jecka looked over at Kelly who was out of it. "No... reason?" Ari tried. "Bitch, you were just making out with Emily and *now* you're on that Nicole suddenly?" "Okay so you don't? Bye" completely ignored the question and left. As the bell rang Jecka slowly stood up too and just left Kelly there. She'll be fine.
She needs to find Nicole. Only because she seemed like the coolest bitch in this whole school. She was at her spot infront of school. Smoking and waiting for the counselour to magically appear as he did everyday. "Jecka, again with the smoking?" And so he did. "Uh.. yeah." She replied awkwardly. "I feel like this is something that I should help you with.. and talk about. We can discuss it in my office today." "Uh I think I'm.. fine. I've.. got uh a family dinner tonight too- so sorry." the only thing she had with her family tonight was arguing and arguing.
After she managed to run from the counselour she went on with her day at school. The same boring shit. She always kept looking for Nicole but she never saw her. After school she went to the mall cos she wanted to buy a new msi CD. She went into the shop with CDs and music stuff, smiled at the cashier incase she gets it for free, because that's just how men work and went to find the one she wanted.
As she finally found it, she saw Emily at the entrance. Then she saw you wouldn't believe who. Nicole. Like her in flesh almost infront of Jecka. This was her chance to talk to her. So she went up to them. "Hey Emily, what're you doing here?" "I just went to say hi to my boyfriend" and pointed at the cashier. Now she's definitely getting the CD for free. She looked at Nicole who was just kind of looking at the CD Jecka was holding. She noticed so she kind of put her hands behind her.
"You listen to msi?" Nicole actually spoke to her. "Oh, yeah. I know I don't look like I do but that's just cause my mom is crazy and she dresses me up." "Cool, my mom's a bitch too." Jecka didn't even notice Emily already left. "What's your name? I'm Nicole." "I'm Jecka" Nicole's face was full of confusion "Your parents named you Jecka?" "Short for Jessica. But that name just screams married at 20" "marriage. Never doing it" "yeah me neither"
Talking to Nicole was actually so easy. "You're the one who hit Kylar at the party right?" She knew she was the one. The eyes, the hair. It matched. "Oh my god, everyone keeps talking about it like it's a big deal. So what? A hot bitch hit a pedophile jock." Jecka chuckled. "I'm so happy someone finally did that.
He was so annoying" Nicole nodded.
"What are you doing with Emily?" "I guess she's cool? So we're friends." Oh right. Jecka's phone made a sound. It was her mom asking where she was. "Oh my fucking godd it's my mom. I gotta go now.. see you in school?" "If I don't skip" and they separated.

Truth or Dare~JJ Maybank {Smut}
Warning⚠️:This does contain heavy, detailed smut so if u don't feel comfortable reading it skip it! Minors be warned{18+}
Y/n's POV: I was inside at the Château talking to Sarah and Kiara while John B and the other boys were outside fishing.
"Sooooo y/n tell me what's going on between u and jj!" Sarah blurted out.
"Nothing really we're just friends." I spoke quickly.
"Come on y/n we know u and jj are like a thing!" Kiara said waiting for me to spill the tea but yet I just looked at her with a shocked face.
"A thing? Who told u that cause me and jj are not a thing and will never be a thing." I rolled my eyes causing the two girls to start laughing about my denial even I knew they could tell I was lying.
"U guys should seriously get together though!" Sarah said looking a kiara to finish it.
"U guys would look so cute together!" Kiara finished for Sarah before looking at me. I felt my cheeks start to get red, really red before the girls started laughing again. I do really like jj but at the same time I afraid he won't like me back. That's when the boys bursted through the door like wild animals.
"GUYS GUYS!" John B yelled at us.
"Omg what?" Me, Sarah, and Kiara all spoke at the same time.
"LETS PLAY TRUTH OR DARE BUT INSTEAD OF A DARE U HAVE TO STRIP!" Pope yelled at us like we were all the way outside. Sometimes pope can get on my nerves but this might be my chance to finally tell jj how I feel or even hook up with him if I'm lucky.
"Oh I'm down!" Sarah stood to her feet and gave John B a peck.
"Same!" Kiara rose to her feet.
"Ig I'll play if the girls are playing." I spoke quietly nervous to play since the girls knew I liked JJ and probably was gonna make me do a dare to kiss him or what not? They can really be too much sometimes but I still love them to death.
"Awesome let's head to the porch." JJ said. I swear his voice is doing things to me. Good things to me obviously. We all headed out to the porch but there wasn't enough seating for me so of course Jj being his cocky self he pulled me into his lap. Although I have to admit I liked it I had to pretend to not or else I would give away to everyone I liked him.
"You can sit here cupcake." JJ whispered in my ear cause my face to heat up.
"Just don't move around too much or else who knows what will happen." Jj finished. I knew my face was as red as a tomato. It felt like it was on fire. JJ had never spoke to me like this maybe he was drunk? Or high who knows or maybe someone told him I liked him.
"Do I really have to sit on your lap out of anyone's else's? I can easily go sit in kie's lap." I spoke up causing everyone to shift their attention to me.
"You will be fine quit whining y/n." John B said annoyed of my whining. We started the game and already I started to move around in Jj's lap to try and get comfy until I felt something grow under me and poke me.
"I told u to stay still darling." Jj whispered in my ear.
"Sorry I'm trynna get comfy." I whispered back but I wasn't whatever was poking me wasn't going away it felt like it was getting bigger.
"What's poking me?" I turned my head to face him acting oblivious to the situation when I clearly knew what was happening.
"My dick." Jj said bluntly as he looked at me his eyes flickered to my lips and back to my eyes as my face went red.
"oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to!" I said knowing what he's gonna say next I just got myself stuck in his spiderweb and there's no way out now.
"It's okay cupcake but... ur gonna have to fix the problem." Jj said pulling me up to my feet with him behind me as his hands rested on my waist and let me tell u I was so goddamn turned on in that moment I could blow up.
"Hey guys me and y/n are kinda getting bored so we're just gonna head inside." Jj spoke as the group turned towards him nodding. Sarah and Kiara gave me a look confused on why I was going with him and I smiled innocently. They realized what was happening and kid chuckled and whispered to Sarah as they whispered good luck to me as Jj pulled me inside the château and into the room he had been staying in.
"On ur knees darling." He demanded as he sat on the edge of the bed. I obeyed and got on my knees in front of him. He pulled his shorts down with his boxers. That moment I knew I fucked up. That dick was HUGE. The tip was red and already oozing precum. I started drooling a little as I stared at it. My underwear was soaked.
"What are you waiting for? Suck it slut." He said as he grabbed my face and just like that I got to work. I Kitty licked the tip then put him in my mouth. I started off slow then he got impatient and thrusted his dick faster in my mouth causing me to gag a little. He started face fucking me and I can't say I didn't enjoy it.
"Yeah u like that u slut take my cock in ur mouth" he grunted thrusting faster. He thrust then started getting sloppier and sloppier I knew he was about to cum based off his loud moans. I put him all the way in the back of my throat and help him there so he could cum.
"Fuckkkkk I'm gonna cum." He moaned out loudly. I'm pretty sure the rest of the group heard him. He took one finale thrust and I felt a warm sticky liquid shot down my throat which i paused then swallowed.
"Strip and get on the bed on your back with your legs spread wide for me baby." He demanded and that's what I did as soon I opened my legs as wide as they can go he stared at me for a moment.
"Damn you're sexy just stay still no dont be too loud we don't want everyone hearing us would u?" He said as u nodded ur head then he dived straight in. He started licking my clit and sucking on it like it was the last thing in the world. I tried to muffle my moans by biting on my lip but then jj slapped my thigh causing me to let out a high pitched moan.
"Yeah let me hear those pretty noises." He said as he plunged his tongue into my aching hole.
"fuckk jj" I moaned loudly. At that moment I was about to cum then he stopped. I whined from the loss of pleasure.
"Jj what the h-" I was about to finish my sentence before jj plunged his dick into my aching hole. I was a moaning mess. And he wasn't going easy he was rough, fast, and hard. His thrust were fast as he picked up my legs and flung them over his shoulder. I moaned louder as he went deeper.
"Fuckk u feel so good" jj moaned. I was slowly getting closer to my high as he went faster.
"I'm c-close j-j-jj" I tried to get out. That's when he hit a certain spot and I let a pornagraphic moan. Basically letting him know I cummed. But that didn't stop him he continued reaching his own climax. My eyes were rolled to the back of my head and my hands clenched the bed sheets. He soon cummed after and pulled out.
"Damn you're the best sex I've had." Jj mumbled. U just nodded ur head out of breath as u put ur clothes back on.

WATCHFUL EYE [CHAPTER FIVE]
Small Talk
"Does that all make sense?" Medic asked as you left his office.
"Yeah, it does. Thanks a lot, Medic. It really helped, now I kind of understand this whole "game" thing."
"Of course! Just come by my lab anytime you need something!" Medic said as you left his lab.
You walked up the stairs and saw Sniper waiting for you as he leaned up against the wall.
"Oh hey Sniper!" You said.
"Evening, Sheila." He said. "Spy took your bags up to your room. Want me to show you where it is?
"Oh, yeah sure." You said as you stood in front of him.
He waved for you to follow him as he walked you to your room.
He opened the door and you were greeted with a medium plain but clean room and your things were sitting on the bed.
"Since you're new, the room is very...boring...but obviously you can change it over time."
"Well, at least it's not an ugly room." You said as you looked around.
Sniper nodded. "I'll leave you to unpack. See you later, little lady."
You smiled at him as he closed the door and you began to unpack.
You put your clothes away and put whatever else you brought away as well.
Then you put your suitcases under your bed and sat down.
You had the entire weekend to spare before a battle happens on Monday.
You decided to spend that time doing one of your hobbies.
You spent at least a few hours doing that until someone knocked on your door.
Scout opened it and you looked up at him. "Hey Scout, what's up?"
"So every Saturday, one of us buys dinner for everyone and today it's my turn and we all agreed to get Chinese. What do you want?"
You smiled. "Aww that's nice. I would like (whatever you order for Chinese food) and a medium (favorite drink that's not beer)."
"You don't want a beer?"
"You wouldn't like me drunk." You laugh.
"Oh come on! Live a little bit (Y/n)! We're all having beers to celebrate you joining the team, you should have one too!"
You sighed. "Okay okay, fine. I'll have a beer."
Scout laughed and gave you a smug smile. "You will not regret making that choice. We'll have food and beer at 7:30. Be downstairs by then, 'kay?"
"Sure Scout." You said.
He smiled and closed the door and left you alone with your hobby.
[Hope you enjoyed. Stay tuned for more and have a good day]

The night before Ophelia's birthday, Wren hits that milestone we all secretly hope our infants won't get.
Ophelia: I don't like this early birthday gift. Did you keep the receipt?
Wren: -sad hic-
Her last night as a young adult will be spent giving her youngest a bath. Fun!
The morning of her birthday, Ophelia wakes up later than usual.
That's weird, usually if her alarm doesn't wake her up, Wren does.
She expects to hear her kids playing but the house is… oddly quiet.
Unless they're playing an intense game of hide and seek, her entire family is not home.
Ophelia comes down to the kitchen to find a fresh serving of, what else, lemon crepes. A little note is also tucked under the serving platter.
The note, in Xander's chicken-scratch handwriting, lets Ophelia know Xander has taken the kids out for the morning, with strict instructions for Ophelia to spend her morning doing whatever she wants.
Ophelia lets out a content sigh. This man is too good to her.
Ophelia enjoys the peace and quiet… at first.
Although it's nice to eat without interruption, it's also nowhere near as fun. Usually family breakfasts consist of Gemma and Jaden arguing over what the best Voidcritter is, or Lulu throwing her food around, or Wren babbling.
Ophelia makes herself a smoothie, which she never has time to do between taking care of her kids or writing new music.
Ophelia struggled with loneliness in the past, but worked hard to overcome it. She has an identity outside of her children and her job, she's fine.
Since achieving her Musical Genius aspiration, Ophelia has dedicated herself to the Inner Peace aspiration.
It's a lot easier to focus on yoga when Lulu's not spinning around and giggling the entire time… but it's just not as fun.
Sweet Potato comes wandering downstairs.
Ophelia: Hey, buddy. I think I've forgotten how to relax.
Sweet Potato: mreow
Ophelia: You're right, it is sad.
There's been so many times since becoming a mom that she wished she had a minute to herself, but now that she has it…
Ophelia gives her favorite orange cat some love before admiring the little collage wall next to the yoga zone.
Ophelia: Having three toddlers for a hot second was crazy… But I think I live for a little chaos.
Sweet Potato: -not a single thought in that head-
Ophelia supposes there's nothing wrong with loving her family and missing them, even for one morning.
Time away is good. It just makes the time with her family even sweeter.
A ping from her phone interrupts her wondering if Sweet Potato's eyes are supposed to look like that.
Ophelia got a text ordering her to come to the Lemon Drop and "wear that one dress you never get to wear" and our girl is nothing if not a people pleaser.
Ophelia: Alexander Amir, whatever you did, it's entirely too much.
Xander: I don't know what you're talking about.
Xander: Did you have a nice morning?
Ophelia: I missed our crazy kids, and my crazy husband, but yes. Thank you for the crepes.
Xander: Thank Hilary, I used her recipe.
Xander: You ready to age up?
Ophelia: It's gonna happen whether I am or not.
Xander: It's not so bad. We can have matching forehead wrinkles!
Ophelia: You have such a way with words, babe.
Xander: I'm kidding! You'll look gorgeous no matter what life stage. I love you, Lemon Cake.
She lets out a giggle.
Ophelia: I love you too, doofus.
Xander: Now close your eyes!
Ophelia: Xander, I'm not-
Xander: Close 'em!
Xander leads her into the bar, using his hand as a blindfold so she can't peek. Ophelia clasps her hands and patiently waits for whatever's in front of her.
Xander: Okay, three, two…
Xander: … One!
Ophelia can't help the gasp that escapes her.
She had her suspicions at least the kids were going to be involved in whatever the surprise was, but seeing so many of her friends and family involved warms her little Lemon heart.
Everyone: 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞!
Lulu: BIRFDAY!
She went a little off-script, but Lulu's enthusiasm is much appreciated.
Let the partying begin!
It's hard to make time for everyone in her life with her busy schedule, so the fact that so many people she loves are all here to celebrate her birthday is the best gift ever.
It makes throwing an event in this game worth it 🥹
Travis Scott! We haven't seen him in a while. He and Becca are doing well, and so is their son Duncan, their daughter Robyn, and their adopted son Brice. Travis doesn't mind not being in the spotlight, it means the Watcher doesn't mess with his life! Xander is jealous!
Liberty Lee is doing pretty well herself. She and Drew have been seeing each other for a couple of in-game weeks now. It's the longest relationship Drew's ever been in, and the most successful one Libby's ever been in.
They're going on a romantic trip to Mt. Komorebi soon!
We can't forget about Summer!
Ophelia: How's little Riley doing?
Summer: She's a handful! Mark and I are thinking of having another, though. We don't want her to be one of those weird only children.
Ophelia: Summer, I'm an only child.
Summer: Oh. Well, anyway, great party!
Ophelia catches up with Drew.
Ophelia: So you two finally made it official, huh?
Drew: Yeah. Thanks for your blessing, kid.
Ophelia: I'm going to be a full-blown adult, you can't keep calling me kid!
Drew: Watch me!
Ophelia's made a lot of friends in her young adult life, and a lot of memories.
As she looks around at all her loved ones, she's no longer dreading aging up.
Growing older just means she's made it this far. There's still plenty of life left to live.
Ophelia looks down at her cake, the flames on the candles flickering.
She honestly can't think of what to wish for. Her life seems pretty perfect today.
Summer: OMW she's doing it! Hopple borfna!
As Ophelia readies herself, her friends and family start celebrating.

Okay here's my impromptu datv review that nobody asked for but I feel a certain need to ramble. Spoilers duh
Shit I vibe with:
The hair. Not the selection but the overall way it was implemented. It's nice and flowy and actually moves when my character does which is pretty neat and definitely hits a spot I didn't know have
Exploration is kinda fun. As in, getting sidetracked by side paths and the likes
Contrary to popular opinion I actually like my Character having a voice and actually being part of the conversation, so that's cool
Considerably minor choices have an impact. And now I want to punch Solas for being a smug asshole after I was a dick. I mean cmon he kinda deserved that one
You can somewhat customize your room. That's fun
Also; aquarium room yay
Stuff thats just 'fine'
The character creator. The scars are cartoonish, the tattoo selection is something, for lack of better term, and the hair selection at least for elves is atrocious. But, there are a lot of sliders for the face and body itself and you can get lost in them for quite a while
The atmosphere is alright. Environment is pretty to look at usually
The tarot art and stuff is pretty
Shit I definitely don't like
The lightning, or lack thereof. Somehow my white haired dude has black hair everywhere but in the lighthouse where it's somewhat muddy gray. Outside of the character creator I don't think I've actually seen the color I chose. Seemingly not an issue for dark hairs tho
The action combat. Don't get me wrong, looked super fun, and may be, but at least as a warrior who needs to get up and close to enemies half of the time I just don't see shit cuz of the weird camera angles. The darkspawn and shit are especially horrible cuz the blight usually covers the mark that would tell me whether or not an incoming attack is blockable. Which is fun if your combat kinda relies on you blocking shit.
Complaining further about the 'action combat'; it's so oddly slow at times? At least the warrior combat doesn't feel particularly fast, especially dynamic attacks like dodging, rushing or jumping. Which yk, you'd think would be fast. Then again, I am used to incredibly fast-paced combat and games in general (yk the kind that doesnt even allow you to think), so that might be working at my disadvantage rn.
Further complaining about the combat +1; the tutorial is shit. I'm sorry but text dumps ain't a tutorial that's a wiki or smth. Tell me which button to press in a tutorial fight while I actually need it and see my actions immediately translated and don't tell me 2 seconds after spawning 'hey u can dodge like this' only to have absolutely no reason to dodge for the next 10 minutes and 3 cutscenes. That's just lazy game design
The combat controls. Listen I know this is super nitpicky but who the fuck uses space to dodge as standard control in 2024 and why do you hate your players like that?
The writing. It's so on the nose. It's legitimately written for people without any critical thinking ability or attention span or whatever. Also it's so fucking repetitive. Yes we've established the elven gods are evil like 10 times in the last 60 seconds. I think I understand now. Can we talk about literally anything else please?
It feels like all characters have this 'try not to smile now' smile all the time. The stakes are supposed to be high but everyone's just grinning about. It does definitely impact the vibe
Being a sarcastic bitch sometimes is as morally gray as this game gets
The story is paced slowly. Which could be a win, but in this case feels more like a drag or a timestretch to artificially increase the content.
I've been a bitch to harding, nearly killed her, told her to stay back multiple times, overall did only thinks she disapproves of and I still rizzed her up somehow. Why. How. Does it even matter if they approve or disapprove of my actions? So far it doesn't rly seem like it
Why do you allow me to pet cats nd stuff if I can't actually see it happening. -100 points just for this one in particular
Most of the NPCs are copy pasted models and I can't unsee it. BG3 spoiled my ass with their diversity.
Turn your brain off and it's fine. Nice to look at. 60€ worth nice to look at? I'm rly not sure. Oh but definitely don't try to think if you listen to or read the dialogue cuz it will physically hurt you.
Will I keep playing it? Idk, honestly I am kinda bored after the initial 'oh new shiny game' wore off even though the concept is exactly the shit I usually vibe with. But welp, we'll see, whatever happens happens, for now I'll just disappear back into the void where I came from and probably take a nap.

The Amazing Digital Circus: Human Games
So I want to throw my hat into the ring of TADC AUs so... here's the start of an idea. Please tell me know if you like this! ^-^
Pomni pulled at her jester hat as she spiralled. This place was breaking her. Day after day after day after day. She's already lost so much to this damned digital circus and yet it still takes more and more from her until she abstracts.
The only remotely good thing that came out of this was her friends(?) that try to help in their own ways. Ragatha somehow didn't hate her after she left her for dead at the abstracted Kaufmo's hands (well he didn't really have hands but that's not the point). Instead she's the first to ask Pomni how's she's feeling. Gangle has been showing Pomni her art and excitingly explain about her favourite animes. Zooble lets Pomni chill out in their room when Pomni needs space to keep an eye on her. Kinger has invited Pomni on bug collecting adventures and occasionally a game of chess. Even f#&%ing Caine and Bubble have tried to be accommodating in their terrible but earnest way.
There is just one person who gets on everyone's nerves, including hers.
"Hey Jester, you mind jesting me?"
Pomni looked up to see the lanky rabbit learing over her. Jax was smirking and looking down on her as she's hunched into a ball near the stage. Everyone else is off doing their own thing so it's just them here.
"Can you just leave me alone for once?" Pomni asked as she lookedat her knees.
"And miss one of your entertaining spirals? I don't think so Pom-pom."
...
"Ha... ha ha... hahahahahahaha. HAHAHA... HA... I get it now." Pomni giggled as her mind unravelled slightly.
"Oh?"
Pomni stood up and looked at Jax with hateful pity.
"I'm fine with doing whatever. As long as I get to see funny things happen to people, that's what you said the day we met."
"Yeah? Congrats on remembering but I'm not following your blatant insanity." Jax said as he leaned back and tilted his head, curious.
"You need us. You would break without us."
Jax looked confused before he started laughing.
"Pfft! You really have lost your marbles! I don't need you nutcases for anything."
"You don't like Caine's games. Be being awful and seeing our reactions you stay sane. By causing real reactions from real people you become real."
"Isn't that a bit dramatic? If you're abstracting then can you buzz off because I don't want to deal with that."
"..." Pomni ignored him and just smiled with scribbled out eyes.
"Welp, enjoy your raging insanity. I'll go find someone more funny than you clown." Jax said as he walked away.
When Jax left Pomni had an idea.
"Would it be a bad thing to get Jax off of his f#&%ing high horse?... Nah."
Once Pomni had a clever idea she went to find Caine.
After calling out his name three times Pomni found Caine behind the curtains of the stage with Bubble.
"Ah! Hello Pomni! How is your permanent stay going?" Caine asked.
"It's... fine. Caine, can we talk? I have an idea for an adventure. "
"Of course Pomni! I'm all ears!"
"Not really. You're all eyes-" Bubble said before Caine popped Bubble.
"Yeah... so you are aware that Jax doesn't find your adventures very fun, right?"
"I... am aware of it. He gets quite bored or even destructive when he participates at times. You humans are quite confusing with how differently you all respond to my adventures."
"Well... I got something I want to try out that Jax might like."
"Gazooks! Pomni I haven't seen you be so invested in any of my adventures like this before! Now I'm dying to know what your amazing idea is!"
"Well, I think Jax is probably missing being human, so why don't we play some... human games. Let me explain..."
And that is it for now. Thank you for reading!

Unsolicited hot take of the week is that, at least from the perspective of how the plot is structured, Shinigami killing the culprits in RAINCODE so fucking annoying
It's not enough to make the game bad because it demonstrably doesn't bother anyone but me and @ravenoftheskyes but I feel like whinging so sue me.
Also since I'm talking plot structure in a mystery game, spoilers under the cut
So basically the problem is this
Whenever you solve a mystery, Shinigami freezes time, you enter a mystery labyrinth to solve the mystery, and at the end she murders the culprit. This is unavoidable and on it's own that would be fine, I think. She's an amoral death god who starts out not caring about humans, a theme of the game is asking if you should continue to search for the truth even if it's painful, whatever. I'm not against it as a narrative conceit/character thing
Who IS against it is local good boy protagonist Yuma, who broadly believes murder is bad. As a result he never uses Shinigami's powers to solve a mystery until forced to (in most cases, literally about to be extra judicially murdered by the fascist police force that control the city)
Because of that, this means every chapter has to put Yuma and pals in a life-threatening situation so he'll go into the labyrinth, but that situation can't actually be resolved directly by catching the culprit, because if killing the culprit would automatically resolve the situation, it'd be obvious who did it.
So what happens in practice is Yuma's being held at gunpoint by the cops who don't care about being fair and hate him and his friends, someone standing near the scene drops dead, and then the cops decide not to shoot you.
I'm about to go into detail but already you can probably see what my issue is, there's no actual connection between resolving the mystery and getting out of the given situation, and that makes actually solving the mystery feel like a detour to stall for time and avoid getting shot.
Now onto specific instances:
Chapter 0
So I think this chapter is the best about it because Yuma doesn't know what'll happen but it's still not perfect.
The twist is that it seems like everyone else on the train died, but the culprit faked their death and is actually alive and hiding on the train, you know, until you kill them.
This immediately throws the player and Yuma for a loop, they expected to find five bodies on the train, there ARE five bodies, now what? So Shinigami feeds him lines and points out, "hey you found that body in a different place and they died just now, so how can I be the culprit?" which stalls long enough for Yakou, mentor/head detective to come bail you out.
(You're also told later that there are actually six bodies on the train because they had a backup ready to stage the scene so it's probably more suspicious than the player realizes in the moment, but it isn't immersion breaking.)
Anyway this is fine. With quick thinking you're able to use the fact that the culprit is dead to poke a hole in the police's story and put on a semi-public display of putting their authority at risk. It honestly makes both Shinigami and Yakou seem very savvy.
This doesn't last though
Chapter 1
In this chapter you, Yakou, and your coworker Halara will all be arrested if you don't find the actual culprit for interfering with the cop's investigation.
Halara had conveniently arranged for all the suspects to be in this otherwise abandoned pier for the Drama so Yuma can reveal them, so the culprits are right there when they drop dead.
Shinigami posesses one of the bodies to confess before dropping dead again... and the cops ignore you! They were getting bribes from the culprit so they like. Are just gonna arrest you. Because they're corrupt.
Luckily Yomi, the head of the cops, shows up, frames the other cop for murder, is implied to have executed him, and subsequently saves your ass for reasons that are unclear and never explained but you can make an argument for it.
The thing is though, even if you want to argue that it's in character for Yomi, it still means Yuma has no agency. He doesn't have a plan to explain things even though he knows the culprits will die this time, he doesn't try to fast talk by himself and fail, he just sort of stands there and gets bailed out by someone he couldn't have predicted would come help.
But hey, the throughline of this chapter is Yuma has to learn to be independent, and it demonstrates the peacekeepers are corrupt and don't care about the truth, cool. This will be important I'm sure.
Chapter 2
This is where it really starts to annoy me. This time Yuma's about to be shot because he impersonated the vice director of the peacekeepers, who is now about to shoot Yuma in the head for the thing he definitely did and is definitely probably an actual on-the-books crime, on top of trespassing to solve this case.
So like she has a reason to arrest us, regardless of the crime. Does Yuma use the commotion of the three culprits dropping dead to escape?
No! Shinigami does the same thing the cops ignored last time, except it works! Despite the fact that the murder in this case is incidental to why the vice director was five seconds away from shooting Yuma!
Again you can argue that this makes sense for her in-characyer, but again that still means Yuma doesn'g even try to do anything, even though he should know what's about to happen and that there's no real garuntee that the culprits admitting to their crime will help them, he just lucks out that he got the least corrupt cop! (Also in like ten minutes she's going to launch a torpedo at your base and try to kill all of you but it's still open to interpretation)
Chapter 3
This time Yuma's been tricked into planting several bombs and is being hunter by the anti-terrorism squad. Once again you're cornered with a bunch of guns in your face, solve the mystery, return
And then Shinigami goes "haha oops, solving the mystery labyrinth doesn't solve this issue at all!"
This is the moment that broke me because I do otherwise like this chapter but come on. NONE of the mysteries have directly resulted in us getting out of this, it's NEVER a garuntee, and why doesn't Yuma plan around this at this point?!
Of course once again, an different character shows up to bail you out, and luckily it turns out the killer had an accomplice who's willing to spill the beans because, you know, the killer's dead and otherwise they would have just been rolling up to the anti terrorism squad with a photographic evidence of Yuma planting a bomb and saying "hey this guy did it."
Yuma didn't find out about this accomplice for reasons that make sense in universe but narratively feels like a cop out
(Yuma still almost gets arrested later and bailed out again but that scene's only annoying in concert with the one before it)
Chapter 4
You get the picture, you have guns pointed at you, you stop time, solve the mystery, it doesn't help with the people pointing guns at you, and you get bailed out at the last second by someone with their own motives independent of Yuma
Really what's annoying is that before this someone points out "hey there's no garuntee that catching the culprit will get us out of this," and Yuma insists they still have try and never elaborates.
TLDR
So even if you haven't played the game I hope I've painted a picture of why I feel this doesn't work. Essentially, it's not any one thing so much as the fact that it feels like Yuma has no agency.
And even if that's the point, he still never makes an attempt to actually use the mystery labyrinth to his advantage. He never takes the time to come up with plan or something to say when time starts again, he never reacts or tries anything different, and the game even points out the issue but never does anything with it.
It doesn't ever feel like Yuma's growing or coming into his own, it feels like he just keeps getting forced into a situation and bailed out without any sort of plan or effort on his part when he knows what will happen, and at times it feels like the story has to contort itself to get him out of these scenarios.
It's bad for a character who's supposed to be clever and it's very frustrating how it never feeds into him or how he feels.
Anyway that was too long and I just threw up so peace.
