YOU LOVE BLOOD TOO MUCH (BUT NOT LIKE I DO)

★彡 synopsis: awakened in a new era, sukuna found endless opportunities to hurt and maim others. he also found you, a sorcerer with an ever-expading soul bonded to oaths of pacifism and self-control. allured by the strength you decided to hide, sukuna realized this era could be far more fascinating.

chapter four: three is a magic number or the one with unsupervised kids with knifes.

warnings: insane sorcerers + assistants, kento nanami is exhausted, offensive driving.

kill count: [-1]

Dirt and rocks gave place to concrete underneath the car. Muscle memory made you lower the window with your eyes still closed, a warm breeze almost lulling you back into an accidental nap. A peaceful moment after a dreadful mission.

Your eyes fluttered open as hair whipped your face. Taking in your surroundings, you saw blue and smelled red. A cloudless sky engulfed you, your lungs doing the same to the scent of iron. It all feels the same. Tired assistant’s faces and black cars started to blend together in hazy memories after years of being carried around the country. They all stink of blood; they all drive you back home.

Except for him, of course. His black car was dented, passenger’s door creating angles within itself. The blood is there, how could it not be, but losing shamefully a battle with his cologne. He smells like sage, apple and… something silken. Delicate yet impossible to ignore. Maybe nutmeg.

“Don’t put your face out of the car like that”, Haibara chuckled, words as empty as his growling stomach. Definitely nutmeg. “I won’t be responsible for an accident.”

You rolled your eyes, ignoring his advice. Admiring the ashen buildings getting closer and closer, you only moved when something hot brushed against your thigh. Taking the plastic cup from his hands, you beamed.

“Another accident”, Kento took a sip of his coffee.

Holding the cup closer, you breathed in the chamomile tea. You looked at Haibara through the inside rear-view mirror. He was already staring at you. “I didn’t mean to fall asleep. When did you get those?”

“Some minutes ago”, Haibara chuckled again. It made you frown. “You really want me to drop you at Harajuku? You’re very tired, senpai. Didn’t even flinched when I almost crashed the car.”

Kento not sighing was what convinced you that they were acting weird. Narrowing your eyes, Haibara’s stiff arms suddenly became so obvious. Kento was still wearing those sunglasses you begged him not to buy. And they both weren’t looking into your eyes.

Nothing was wrong, but something definitely was wrong.

“I want to welcome the new student”, you answered slowly. Have you done something? You don’t think you did. Or maybe you don’t remember. Is that the problem? “It won’t take long.”

“You need to stop doing Satoru’s work”, Kento murmured. Another sip, and finally he sighed. “Don’t let him grow used to it.”

You took a deep breath, doing your best not to play devil’s advocate and ruin Kento’s mood even more. There was a touch of resentment on his words. There always is when he talks about Satoru. The best you can do is ignore.

“Don’t complain about him”, Haibara yelled. You closed your eyes, once more surprised about how bad Haibara is a reading others. “Satoru works hard too.”

“What is happening?” It was best to address the elephant in the room than to let the conversation go on as it is now. Kento holds so much tension on his shoulders you fear one day he will simply explode. You’d hate for him to die now. “Something is happening. Why don’t you two just tell me already?”

The car braked so abruptly you almost hit your face on the driver’s seat.

The silence that came after it was so loud your mind wandered to the worst possibilities you could imagine. Dead friends, schools exploding, unsupervised kids with knives. Although there is no way you’re responsible for that. You excluded the last option.

Sitting on the floor in front of a cursed building, Satoru sneezed. Megumi said nothing, still sulking for doing nothing while the other two fought curses. As if sending him with a knife was a good idea, Megumi thought. I could do more.

Haibara hit his head on the car as he tried to sit between you two. His legs on top of yours, back supported by Kento’s arm. Kento fixed his sunglasses. “You weren’t wearing a seat belt, were you?”

Looking into your eyes, Haibara hesitated. “Are you scared?”

“Haibara, don’t you…”

“You also want to know, Kenchan.” Haibara wide eyes kept staring at you, but all you could see was the ghost of a smile on Kento’s face. “Are you scared of him?”

Oh. You snorted. That makes more sense. “I am.”

“Was he as strong as the tales?”

“It was a forgettable fight”, you lied. You will never forget how it feels to be truly hollow. “What scares me is that it won’t be the last.”

Kento took off his sunglasses. His eyes were so small. You wonder if he slept lately. “You think the boy might lose control of the body?”

 “I don’t know why, but Yuji is… a perfect vessel. I don’t think he even can lose control. But what I know is that we would be really lucky if nothing wrong happened”, you smiled. “And there is only one thing more surprising then Ryomen Sukuna.”

Haibara tilted his head. “What?”

“A lucky sorcerer.”

After one last look at you, Haibara moved back to the front seat. As he speeds up, the look you and Kento shared was so easy to understand. Where is Ijichi-kun when we need him?

The moment the car was finally parked, you thanked every god you knew and swore to never let Haibara drive you anywhere again—a promise you made countless times since you convinced him to stop being a sorcerer. You tried opening the door, but it was locked. “Haibara”

“Do you think Satoru would win?” Haibara asked. His hands were still glued to the steering wheel. “Do you think you would?”

You hesitated. Holding his shoulder, you smirked. “I think I can survive him.”

“That’s enough”, Kento nodded, ignoring your mockery tone. “It’ll be.”

“Thank you, Haibara.” Opening the door, you turned to face Kento and grinned. “Bye, Kenchan.”

Do you have any more ideas for the Stanley & Ford game?

I’ve been thinking about it a lot recently

Hmmm not much (don't like thinking of things that ik I can't make. At least not rn) buuut

*while passing the cursed (?) Vending machine, Ford's reflection is missing

*there's a hiding spot and qte mechanic where you have to control Stanley's breathing/adrenaline. If you fail the qte, depending on what the hiding spot is, it can fail (hiding behind curtains or blankets, or spots where things echo a bit like a locker or stall will blow your cover upon failing) (obviously there'd be an option to turn qtes off)

*there's also a sound mechanic for stealth sections in certain areas, and this sound mechanic is always active at night. Normally you have to gauge the risk of how much noise you think an action would make, but ideally I'd like there to be an accessibility audio visualizer feature you could toggle so if you want you can know exactly how much noise you're making.

* there'd be an option for color coded fortune telling if you wanted. It wouldn't tell you exactly what was going to happen, but I'd help clue you in more than just vague words from Caryn.

Green: downtime/planning day, nothing out of your control will happen. If something does go wrong, it's a mistake on your part (actions from previous days can carry over and affect this. You can get a green reading, but if you failed to cover up your tracks well enough yesterday, you can still end up having a bad day)

Yellow: something bad will happen, but there is a chance you can avoid it. If you are able to decipher what event the fortune is referring to, you may be able to avoid it altogether, and not have to go through the stress of having to lie/cheat/steal your way out of trouble (examples: avoiding a certain hallway at school, staying away from a certain table at lunch time, wearing a long sleeve shirt so you can keep test answers on your arm)

Red: unavoidable bad event. Meant to test your abilities. Certain "tasks" will be unavoidable, you will either lose control of Stanley to watch a cutscene play out, or there will be some required tasks and time will not advance until it is completed or failed.

Unavoidable task example: you were denied dinner and sent to bed. You feel sick and cannot sleep on an empty stomach. You must sneak into the kitchen and find something to eat.

Unavoidable event example: you hear the crash of something hitting a locker and books hitting the floor. Ford has been cornered by a group of bullies, and it looks like his nose is bleeding. You lose control of Stanley and are forced to watch as he charges the bully and knocks him out despite ford telling him not to, then gets sent to detention. (Afterwards, the task is: stop the counselor from calling your parents)

⊹ ࣪ ˖

4:30 a.m.

It was early, super early, in fact. You could feel your eyes wanting to stay closed each time you blinked. You were also starving, to the point that your stomach was in pure pain. Trying to find something to eat, you wandered throughout Gyeongju-si, searching the trash bins behind every restaurant. Usually, it was filled with leftover food that you couldn't comprehend why it was thrown away.

After 8 restaurants and 24 trash bins, all that was found is some bread and bones. You put it in your bag and headed to the subway to sit in some warmth. Even if it wasn't what's enough for your body, your body didn't complain and ate it anyway.

Suddenly, you heard a thud. It was loud, super loud, probably since it was 6 a.m., and the subway was almost empty in your city. Sitting on the bench, you leaned to the left to see what the sound was. That's when you saw a man in a suit playing Ddakji with a stranger. Each time the stranger lost, the man would slap him. You hissed through your teeth in agony. "Geez.. getting slapped this early?" You thought to yourself. Observing from afar, you see the stranger win. It was a young woman with long brown hair tied up in a ponytail along with two little braids that faded to light purpleish colour. She jumped in happiness as she reached her hand out to slap the man. When her hand was few centimetres away from his face, he grabbed it and shoved money along with a little card into her hand. She seemed confused at first but didn't ask the second money was put in her palm. The man then left.

Before watching the young woman leave, you ran after her, "Miss! Miss!". She waited, and once you arrived, panting you stood in front of her bent slightly over and supporting yourself with your hands on your knees. You gasped for air and stood up properly, "Oh, sorry... my name is Y/N. " You smile and bend over politely, her returning the bow. "I was wondering..what was the card that man gave you?" you said, pointing to the direction the man left. The woman chuckled, handing you the card. "Apparently, we can win ₩45.6 billion here. We just need to meet some guys at this address in two days." she smiles but then gasps. "Oh, I'm sorry, i didn't introduce myself." she bows as an apology and reaches out her hand. You shake it as she says,"My name is Hye-Won. Nice to meet you!"

Smiling, you accept her apology and ask, "Can i perhaps take a picture of the card?" while holding your phone out with the camera open. She nods, and you take a picture, the flash lighting the card up properly. It was a small rectangular and brown card with a symbol of an "o" rectangle and a triangle. Just by looking at it, it's felt weird, dark even. You thank her and leave, wandering off staring at your phone. No matter how good ₩45.6 billion sounded, it felt off. You shrug it off as you get ready in your apartment but fall asleep shortly.

2 days later ⊹ ࣪ ˖

Putting on your clean and freshly washed clothes, you make your way to the given address on the card Hye-Won gave you. Standing there anxiously, you pick your skin on your nails, checking the time every 30 seconds. It was cold, really cold. You weren't able to tell if it was from the fear and uneasiness or if it was actually cold. You were interrupted from your thoughts and worry by a car stopping in front of you. A man in a pink jumpsuit with a mask gets out and approaches you. He has a triangle symbol on the black mask, fully covering his face. Tilting your head in confusion, he places his hand on your back, walking you into the car. You felt very bad now. It felt like you were being kidnapped, but you tried to stay calm even though you felt like you were going to have a panic attack at any second now. You entered the car anyway. It was luxurious inside it made you feel like a famous person, the seats were leather black and red. There was a gold piggy bank placed in front of you with holes that speakers have. A man in a deep voice started talking, telling you the instructions "Welcome Y/N..." as ominous smoke started filling the car you could feel yourself passing out more and more each second. "do you agree to these terms and wish to join the game?" he says, as you were seconds away from falling asleep. "Yeah...." you mutter as you drift to sleep.

You woke up in a dark room, surrounded by tons of people. Streching you notice you're in different clothes. You look and see you're in a green jumpsuit with white stripes. Looking around, you see everyone has a number. Yours was 111, your favourite angel number. "Ew green." The room had given you bad vibes already. You thought to yourself. As you look around and see numerous bunkbeds, you spot to your right Hye-Won.

"Hye-Won!" You yell in excitement, walking towards her and sitting on the edge of her bed. "Oh hi, Y/N! You came!" she smiles as she welcomes you with a warm hug. On her left chest, you could see the number "196". You start a short conversation with her only to be interrupted by the big door sliding open, multiple guards walking in with MP5A3 sub-machine guns in their arms, strapped to their back. You stand up, causios and observing them closely from Hye-Wons high bunkbed. The door closes as now everyone is standing in a circle, curious. Everyone keeps quiet as the guard in front with a square mask starts talking, "We all welcome you warmly to the Squid Games and are grateful you've joined. Let me go over the rules." he moves his head to crack his neck quietly. "We will be going to play a single game every day. Fail, or break the rules, and you will be eliminated. For every eliminated person, we'll add ₩10 million to the piggy bank. The final price, as said, is ₩45.6 billion. The first game will begin shortly. Once again, we warmly welcome you."

You notice a timer for 20 minutes going off while everyone seems to be amused by the amount of money. They're looking around. Some are talking in big groups and some in small groups. You turn back to Hye-Won and give her a smile. "Well, good luck to you, Hye-Won," you say, warmly patting her shoulder.

20 minutes later

As the timer went off, guards came in once again to take everyone somewhere else. You follow everyone, Hye-Won, walking behind you. Looking around the stairs to different rooms seems like a maze. You couldn't figure out how the guards remember where to go. Eventually, you arrive in a big room, the walls imidiating the outside world with a blue sky. Some grass, along with some trees, drew on it. The ceiling was open. You could see the actual sky, and it made you feel a bit better to feel the fresh air. There was a big doll at the end of the room with two guards guarding it standing next to it with guns strapped to their back, two lines on the floor marking the start and the end. "Why do they allways carry guns?" You wondered out loud as a man appeared behind you. He had purple hair with a black dyed undercut. "Señorita i think they're trying to kill us." he says, seeming proud of himself. You knew him, you saw his face a few times on the internet. "Wow, Thanos? What are you doing here, hm?" You smile, tilting your head. He chuckles as he shakes his head. "That doesn't matter now, does it?" he leans over, placing his hand on your shoulder. Suddenly, you hear a loud buzzing sound from the speakers as a woman starts talking. "Welcome to Red light, Green light. The rules are simply to move towards the finish line in time when the light is green and stay still when the light is red. Whoever moves or doesn't make it to the finish line in time will be eliminated. Good luck, players.

Before the game begins, a man with the number 456 stands in front of everyone,

"Stop and listen to me! These games are no joke! If you lose, they will kill you!" he yells at the top of his lungs. Everyone is looking around, confused. The question is, "How do you know?"Are you high?" Fill the room as he tries to grab the Players attention again. This goes on for some solid minutes before the doll begins talking. "Green light!" it says loudly as everyone moves forward fast. The second the doll says, "Red light!" 456 yells, facing backwards."Freeze!" He was so loud, most of the players got scared. You could see a man that seemed related to him, whispering anxiously. "Cover your mouth or it will see you!" he yells. As the green light goes back on, everyone runs with 456 yelling "freeze" again, each time. You stood behind Hye-Won, Thanos slightly in front of you. "Hey..what is that?" Hye-Won says anxiously as a bee is sitting on her neck. Thanos chuckles, "It knows you're a flower. There's a bee on you." he smirks. "Ah a bee?!" Hye-Won yells as she jumps and moves around before looking at you. "Shit, i just moved, didn't i?" she says as she gets shot straight in the head and the speaker announcements,"Player 196 eliminated.". Your body stands still as her blood splatters all over yours and Thanos's face. You start shaking, trying to hold back all the screaming and crying you want to do. A few seconds later, people look at you slowly, immidently screaming and panicking, trying to run away but only end up getting shot as well. 456 covers his mouth and takes a deep breath before yelling, "Stop! Please don't move they will shoot you! Stay still and don't panic!." The amount of adrenaline rushing through your body was insane it made you feel so dizzy. As the green light comes on, you see Thanos opening his cross necklace and taking out a pill. You couldn't help but ask for one politely. Without hesitation, Thanos chuckles and uses his hand to open your mouth and place one on the top of your tongue. You blush slightly and swallow the pill, seconds in feeling much better. The rest of the game feels blurry as all it was for you was fun and a mess. Your brain starts remembering what you're currently doing around the time you're back where your beds are, everyone scared and immidently hiding themselves in corners as you sit on Hye-Won's bed. As the drugs wear off, you start feeling sad, your eyes tearing up and falling off your face as they mix with all the blood that was sprayed onto your face and body. Everyone smelled like blood, and it made you feel a little sicker each second as you tried not to cry on Hye-Won's bed.

⊹ ࣪ ˖

As you sat on Hye-Won's bed, you hear footsteps in your direction, getting louder and lift your head up to see Thanos leaning on the edge of the bedframe, looking at you. "Ugh, this is cringe, but.. are you okay?" he says worringly, cringing at himself being so caring towards you. You wipe your tears and smile at him "Yeah just a little shocked... She was such a nice girl and didn't deserve to die.". Thanos nods. "You're right." You then suddenly remember something. "Yeah, you're right. it's your fault!" You stand up quickly enough to make your head spin. You push him slightly against his chest. "If you would've just been quiet, she could've made it, you asshole! And here you thought you could be a good person asking me if i'm okay!" You yell loudly as people start to catch attention to you, turning around and staring. "God flower, calm down. You're causing a scene!" He says as he steps backwards, towering over you he looks down "Just...quiet down all right? Good grief..." he sighs, crossing his arms. You could almost explode from all the anger in your veins, rushing through your body all the way up to your heart, beating fast enough for you to get a heart attack. "Quiet down?" You scoff, moving towards him."You want me to quiet down?!" You yell, centimetres away from Thanos. You grab him by his shirt to pull him closer to you "Listen here you little shit i will make you fucking pay for what you've done even if it's the last thing i do in this asylum." Seeing Thanos smirk, it made you even angrier before he grabbed both of your arms and held them above you strongly. "Oh do you know who the fuck you're even talking to?" he chuckles in an angry way, it made you almost shit your pants seeing how he probably could break your wrists at any second but it also slightly turned you on and that's what he didn't know about. "What, are you going to hurt me now too hm? Is that what you're into?" you say smirking, leaning near him with your face. He returns the smirk, moving his face towards yours, your lips centimetres away from each other. "And what if i do, huh?" saying he holds your wrists together even harder. You smirk, trying to hald back your laugh. "Oh, you're a kinky one, aren't you?" You kick him away, turning around and sitting back in Hye-Won's bed. Thanos scoffs playfully as Nam-gyu (player 124) tried to go after you but was stopped by Thanos's hand. He pats his shoulder and says, "Leave it, she's a hard one to get, but I'll get her eventually. "

the pros of drinking coffee are way too high for me to take people who think it's harmful seriously

[bixels]

I'm not getting into The Giving Tree discourse...

[dont-open-dead-inside-25]

arrived at the disturbing realization that when left completely to my own devices and with no schedule i very well could accidentally starve myself because when i tell you i did not eat ANY acceptable food today

list of things i ate today:

Singular fish stick (someone made them. i was offered two but the texture disgusts me) one madeline cookie 2-4 bites of leftover chicken pad thai the last of a bottle of arnold palmer. less than a fourth probably half a protein bar (the taste disturbs me) bowl of cereal (probably the best thing i ate today since it was at least a full portion. also it had nuts in it which is neat) about two handfuls of gummy bears

and that's literally everything that i ate over thirteen hours of consciousness

[heartshattering]

5 AM

Just me and my overactive mind facing the nighttime again 🙃

[orcelito]

This just in, local struggler severely overestimates how much they can eat yet again. Left with half a bowl of ramen and a sad, sad heart

[luna-the-cretar]

It’s weird. I don’t normally cuddle with my other plushies (despite having 20 of ‘em) after the first day or so, even when I’m sick or hurt to the point where i basically have to be on bed rest, and yet. For some reason cuddling the ouaw plushes make me feel better. These little guys did not leave my arms when I was sick, and I keep alternating between Frost and Torbek right now (if not both, depending on my position and how I’m feeling)

I mean, they don’t make the pain go away, but they make it a bit more bearable. Until my grandma comes back with my pain meds, at least

Why are my posts that get made under the influence of something (sleep deprivation, caffeine on empty tummy, read a good book) the ones that take off

[clanoffelidae]

It’s always ‘man I wish I was at home’ until you actually have a reason to stay home because you feel bad and then it’s ‘man I wish I was at work because that would mean I didn’t feel awful’

Hhh i do not feel good

On today's agenda: Preparing for a long commute and class without a break tonight while my back is already causing me 7/10 pain.

Someone cooked something yummy and my stomach is like ough food but also like 1 tired 2 my stomach is a fickle beast that gets mad at everything like man

[readysetyeet]

Keep in mind that Midol has acetaminophen too! If you're taking a cocktail of pain meds for your periods, remember to keep a real close eye on what's in them and how much there is.

PSA:

Acetaminophen/paracetamol has a hard stop upper dose limit, above which it becomes extremely toxic.

That limit is 4g (8 “extra strength” (500mg) tablets) in 24 hours (about 2 tablets every 6 hours).

A single dose of 22 extra strength tablets can kill you.

Taking 12 or more tablets per day for more than a week can also kill you (this is about 3 tablets every 6 hours).

Symptoms of overdose take up to 24 hours to manifest, and are fairly difficult to distinguish from other problems. They include abdominal pain (especially right upper quadrant), nausea, malaise, and confusion.

The antidote (n-acetylcystine) must be given within 8hours of ingestion in order to be useful.

After 10 hours the only thing that will work is a liver transplant.

You might think “why would I ever accidentally take so much?”

Well, acetaminophen is in almost everything in the cold/flu/pain aisle. Migraine combos like Excedrin, cold and flu combos like NyQuil, basically anything that says “non-aspirin pain relief”, and anything that’s branded as a fever reducer. It’s all probably acetaminophen/paracetamol.

So the goal of this post is to get you to read the labels on your medications. Because taking taking Tylenol and NyQuil together for a week (like you might if you had the flu) could kill you.
