once upon a dream

// Yandere Capitano

sum: you haunt his existence. now, he wishes to repent.

wc: 1473

warnings: 5.1 story quest spoilers (mostly capitano lore spoilers), probably OOC capitano

a/n: i need capitano in a way that concerns my sanity / sorry for not posting in a hot second lmao have capitano as compensation

likes & reblogs are appreciated :)

Capitano would know you blind, deaf, and devoid of sense. He would know you by the way you breathe, the way you walk, and most of all, your soul.

He first met you five hundred years ago, upon the fall of Khaenri’ah, when he and his platoon fled to Natlan. You, a Master of the Night-Wind, who joined your chief in aiding what most could only assume were the enemies, with nothing but kindness and understanding in all your actions and words. Never once had you treated him or his men as lesser than, as burdens, but instead as one of your own.

He had never been the kind of person that sought for love, for he knew of the foolishness it brought far too often. He prioritised his duty to the kingdom, for its continued survival and prosperity, all until it fell to the hands of Celestia and its gods. Grief and regret often grappled his heart, but even so, he trudged forwards, for if not forwards, where else could he go?

When you touched his wounds for the first time, a gentle smile on your face, reassuring him that all will be alright, he felt as though he had transcended beyond the mortal realm and met an angel. You bandaged his wounds carefully and always offered a warm smile no matter the situation, always chastising him to have a little more regard for his own body, to which he would merely chuckle in reply.

When Ayizu had passed, grief once again racked his being, but he still felt grounded knowing you lived. He had yet to come to terms with his ever-growing feelings let alone your imminent death, and he wasn’t sure what he’d do if you were to die.

He quickly found out that he’d be wracked with grief and sorrow like never before, mourning the loss of you and what could have been, on his knees in the pouring rain cradling your lifeless body. You, who had died long before he even had the sliver of a chance to come to your aid, like you had to him.

Upon watching your tribesmen bury you, Capitano was left to ponder a question. What is the use of his strength, if he cannot even use it to protect those dear to him?

He swears that the first few nights after your passing were the worst he’s ever had in his entire life. He dreams of you, in all of your smiles and gentleness, crying for help as you’re ripped to shreds by abyssal monsters, staring at him with betrayal in your beautiful eyes, as he is unable to do anything except watch, an unwilling witness to your death. He then awakens, breathing heavily yet somehow barely breathing at the same time, drenched in sweat and regret.

He often wonders what your last thoughts were. Were they regretful, or were they full of fear? Or were they hopeful, believing he’d come just in time to save you? He hopes they weren’t. He hopes you didn’t die hopeful, waiting on a hero that could never exist.

Capitano remembers wandering for a long while before being recruited by Pierro, before being given his new identity. He swore many things by the Tsaritsa’s name, but the one he remembers most clearly is the one where he promises to make Natlan, make Teyvat, a safe place for you to exist freely without fear of war or death.

Capitano thinks he’s going insane. He has started seeing, hallucinating, you in his subordinates. The glimpses are brief, and had he been a second too late, he would’ve completely missed you - but he’d know you just by your existence, and he’s certain that even if you were thousands of miles away from him, he’d feel you in the depths of his soul.

He’s desperate to see you again, in front of him. He desires nothing more than to feel the warmth of your skin against his own once more, to hear your heartbeat and confirm to himself that you’re alive again, so that he may right his wrongs and ensure your safety and your happiness in a way he couldn’t before. He is a powerful man now, not like when he first met you; he can give you the world.

His search is to no avail, and it is once again as though you had never existed. He’s almost on the verge of flipping through recruit profiles, until he hears of a group sent away to Liyue, and your name is mentioned. But of course, he is too late. You died, saving your comrades.

He is left to mourn you once again.

The third time he sees you, he wonders if it’s a form of divine punishment. Is it because he’s Khaenrian that he must suffer this cruel fate? The destruction of his homeland, the curse of immortality, the deterioration of the nation that once protected him, the death of those he holds dear… He wonders when will be enough, how much repentance it will take for Celestia to finally cleanse him of his sin. But he has long stopped asking, because he knows the answer better than most.

He sees you many more times, both in reality and in his dreams. Each and every time, he is a second too late, one step away from saving you, from getting you back. And each and every time, he can see you, staring at him with betrayal in the eyes he so dearly adores.

Even so, he doubts he truly wants to see you anymore. His strength is a husk of its former glory, his flesh long rotted. He is perhaps the furthest thing from a human, more akin to an abyssal monster, and he fears that should you meet once more, you’d only stare at him in disgust or, worse yet, fear. He doesn’t think he can handle it.

Capitano had long lost count of how many times he’s encountered you, but for this particular kind, he knows for a fact that it’s the first of its kind.

You stare up at him, confusion in the eyes he so adores, and he wishes for nothing more than to embrace you and listen to the steady beating of your heart. Unfortunately, he is surrounded by his subordinates, and he has a reputation to uphold. Instead, he takes your hand as gently as he can, trying to recall how you treated him before.

“You must come with me.” Is all he offers, before he drags you all the way to Snezhnaya, forsaking his own duties all for you.

He keeps you close to him the entire journey, never allowing you out of his sight for even a second. He wouldn’t allow it, not when that was all it took to lose you. You’re offered no explanation even as you demand for one, violently thrashing in his hold. It pains him to see you like this, and so he forces you to sleep.

At the end of the journey lies an old but sturdy mansion, gifted to him by the Tsaritsa upon his oath to her and the Fatui. It is kept in pristine condition with servants at every corner, busying themselves with tidying the already tidy home. The only sound is the wind beating at the windows harshly.

He brings you to a room, void of any sort of decoration, and chains you to the bed. It is then you realise that the windows have grills, separate from the glass, and the door has a lock on the outside. He, although his actions so cruel, treats you as gently as a monster can afford, and it makes you confused.

“What am I to you?” You question, staring into the darkness of his mask. In the dim room, you can faintly see the glow of blue.

“Everything.” He replies without hesitation, not even a second later than your question. He sounds as though he’s been waiting a very, very long time for this question.

“I do not know you.”

“But I know you.”

He walks closer and closer, until he stands in front of you. Silently, he kneels, head lowered as if in reverence.

“I’d know you blind, deaf, on the verge of death. I’d know you by the way you breathe, walk, smile. I’d know you no matter your appearance, because I know your soul.” He takes one of your chained hands in his gloved ones, bringing the back of it into the abyss of his helmet. You feel a faint kiss by lips chapped and skin rotting.

“It’s okay if you hate me, resent me.” He murmurs, unwilling to let go of your hand. “It’s okay if you wish me dead. As long as you’re alive, I could want for nothing more.”

If only beings like him died so easily.

I don't know if this has already been asked, but what did you think of the Halloween event? Is it too early to ask? How did it compare with the other events?

Aaaaah, thank you for asking!! I was actually in the middle of writing my own "these are my thoughts" post even if no one specifically asked 😂 but I'm glad I can just reply to this ask with what I was cooking up~

***Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD!!*** ***Please also note: these are just my OWN thoughts and opinions! In sharing them, I do not mean to disparage those who think differently than me; I only mean to contribute to the discussion.***

I'll be quick and rip off the band-aid now: I liked this event about as much as I did Stage in Playful Land, maybe a little better than Playful Land if I think about it. If you know anything about my thoughts on the previous Halloween event, well... Let's just say it's a mixed bag. Neither of them comes close to toppling the peak that was Glorious Masquerade. (Fandom consensus seems to be quite positive though, with many liking Nightmare more than, if not the same as, GloMasq while Playful Land is still considered the weakest of the bunch.) Playful Land and Lost in the Book with Nightmare Before Christmas both suffer from general pacing issues. The former had an intriguing premise and setting but also many plot holes, a lack of active involvement from the SSR squad, and a resolution that was way too convenient. The latter, Nightmare, was very boring throughout because the majority of the event was centered on party preparations. I enjoyed everyone's bickering and the SSR squad's role in the event, but I wanted more than just that. It's basically like Terror is Trending, but if it had the Nightmare Before Christmas characters also featured. However, Nightmare did have a really interesting ending that played with amnesia and time paradox tropes. It's just that the road to get there wasn't anything special. I'll now get into all of this in detail, but it's quite long. Ready for a read? Then let's go ^^

My Extended Ramblings:

The initial aesthetic is strong. VERY strong, especially to me, a girlie that loves Nightmare Before Christmas and formal wear😭 BY GOD DOES EVERYONE LOOK SHARP AND DRESSED TO KILL IN THOSE NIGHTMARE SUITS... The devs totally popped off with the fits. I also loved how all the characters' coloring shifted once they entered the book; there's notable hatch marks on their shadows and even their skin and hair adopt bleaker saturations. These are SO much better outfits than the GloMaq and Playful Land ones, I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S JUST THE TRUTH. The other events tended to have chunky silhouettes and/or overly embellished elements to their designs that didn't sit quite right with me. NIGHTMARE SUITS HOWEVER ARE PERFECT AS THEY ARE...

... That being said, I think this event's premise was not great. I know everyone's mileage with this will vary greatly, but personally I don't like Lost in the Book events. I don't enjoy having Disney properties so blatantly shoved at my face; I'd prefer it to just be a distant part of the lore and history of the Twst world. The other issue with the event being so closely tied to its Disney film is that the story becomes so predictable. You can't really explore beyond the bonds of what the film has already set up, so you're trapped with whatever status quo Disney has mandated is "okay". (For example, in Nightmare, it has to be set BEFORE the events of the actual film in order to keep things "the same" when the film events actually play out.) Lost in the Books rely on individual nostalgia to some extent to get you invested in what it's trying to sell. This was particularly evident in this event, which featured several characters from the film and made Jack a very big fixture in the story. I for one was not sold on it despite my own fond feelings for Nightmare Before Christmas. I needed it to prove its own merits to me, and I'm not entirely sure if it was successful on that front.

I have made it no secret that I don't like most Twst events in general. Too often does it feel like pointless meandering and sightseeing without anything of real substance happening (though I do enjoy meeting new characters and learning new lore). That's also the case with Nightmare; the scale of the conflict isn't anything spectacular--but that's fine, it can still work as is, even if I don't personally find it interesting. I was still plenty entertained by all the bickering between the boys and between them and the residents of Halloween Town. The highlights for me definitely have to be Jade being a little shit to everyone, Jamil being tormented with bugs, Sebek's big speech in the climax, and Leona just beefing with EVERYONE in sight (particularly Malleus). The comedy and character interactions helped the middle part of the event not feel dull. I do feel like them having to switch groups around halfway through was short of a shoehorned way to prolong the middle of the event though 💦

One thing I noticed like, right away as I was playing this event was how disjointed it felt. And for the life of me, I could not pinpoint why… until I went back and compared the number of chapters per part. This is how the parts break down:

Part 1 - 13 chapters

Part 2 - 22 chapters

Part 3 - 20 chapters

Part 4 - 13 chapters

Part 5 - 16 chapters

For comparison, Glomasq:

Part 1 - 15 chapters

Part 2 - 18 chapters

Part 3 - 17 chapters

Part 4 - 19 chapters

Part 5 - 18 chapters

And Playful Land:

Part 1 - 16 chapters

Part 2 - 21 chapters

Part 3 - 11 chapters

Part 4 - 16 chapters

Part 5 - 18 chapters

Generally, Part 1 is dedicated to setting up the scenario and reason for travel. Parts 2 and 3 are meant for exploring the new location, with a big reveal dropping towards the end of 3 that kicks the conflict into high-gear. Part 4 is for combat, and then Part 5 is the continuation of the combat (with a focus on confronting the Big Bad), climax, and resolution. … Did you notice it? GloMasq (the only event of the three I consider overall excellent) is pretty evenly spaced out. Playful Land meanwhile has a weirdly short 11 chapters in Part 3 but had the extremely long 21 chapters in Part 2 beforehand. The discrepancy is made even worse in Nightmare, with Parts 1 and 4 being woefully short and Parts 2 and 3 being 20+ chapters each. It has the (likely unintended) effect of making the conflict resolution feel really rushed.

Alright, I think I've held off for long enough. Let's talk about the elephant in the room, our new addition to the Halloweenies, Mister Skully J. Graves himself. Right from the get-go, he had a mysterious air about him, especially since he's the first ever character to meet his twisted inspiration. Like I said in my first impressions post, I'm really into his design, but his personality shocked me. I expect some whimsy, but not a guy that flat-out kisses everyone he meets and calls total strangers "lovely dears". At the same time, he has the spirit of "sad wet cat" energy, and his expressions can whiplash between that and being absolutely deranged, which I found kinda charming. I get the feeling that he charmed a LOT of fans, as I saw many gushing about his otome-esque behavior and loving how he always calls attention to Yuu and Yuu's opinions. Unfortunately, Skully has what I lovingly dub "Ashengrotto Syndrome" due to my own experiences with Azul. That is to say, I started off liking both Azul and Skully, but after a certain point (book 3 for Azul, part 2 for Skully) they both took a nosedive right into my dislike zone. This is something I vaguely alluded to in my halfway through the event impressions post. I'm under the impression that this is a surprising opinion, so I'll try to do my best to explain why Skully lost his appeal to me. So the initial deterrent was his defensive and controlling behavior surrounding Halloween. He also gets so nasty and speaks down to others who don't see his perspective, which I don't find cute at all. I've mentioned before that I hate it when characters act elitist/gate-keepy and refuse to accept other opinions or change, and Skully fits that bill to a T. Sure, he might have his reasons, but I still find the result of his reasons distasteful. It's fine if he wants to respect the past or celebrate Halloween the way he's been taught, but it's another thing entirely to force those views on others. I've been on the receiving end of this kind of attitude and it was very unpleasant; I would not wish that upon anyone. (To make a long story short, I had invited a friend from outside my culture for a holiday meal so neither of us would be alone that year. That friend then complained that I was eating "non-traditional" food for the holiday.) Really rubbed me the wrong way when Skully started to tell others about HIS Halloween while being totally against everyone else's suggestions. Some of the others (like Jamil) even made an effort to try and include him anyway after his outbursts, and Skully was still unable to accept this lying down.

The hand-kissing thing was... charming at first, because I thought it was just his way of greeting people. But the more Skully did it, the less charming it seemed to me because of how everyone reacts to it. The others are CLEARLY uncomfortable with it, but he disrespects their boundaries by continuing to do so. To me, that seems very invasive and rude. Skully especially kisses Yuu a lot, and whether or not you like it will be up to individual preference--but personally, as someone who doesn't like strangers touching me intimately, I'm not into it.

During the Halloween planning, I noticed Skully speaking to Yuu directly quite often, which is different than the previous Halloween events. I started to feel a little uneasy about this, and for the longest time I could not tell you why. Then I realized. I don't think I can explain it any better than how I did in a previous post, so I'll copy and paste from there:

Another thing that really bothered me was that Skully keeps asking Yuu for their opinion. It SEEMS polite to consider them, but his intentions are way less selfless than they appear. Skully is often asking Yuu for their thoughts AFTER some other character has disagreed with him. So he is literally only consulting Yuu because he wants someone on HIS side. If you ever pick the dialogue option where you disagree with him, Skully insists there must be a misunderstanding and he will explain it to you no matter how long it takes. Don’t you see??? He doesn’t want to know what Yuu truly thinks; he wants validation in his own way of thinking. That’s NOT actually being considerate. The same shit happens when Skully tries to kiss Grim again. Grim dodges but Skully sneaks behind him and kisses him anyway because I guess that’s what gentlemen do according to him. Bro has demonstrated time and time again he does not value consent nor what others’ thoughts are on anything that differs from his own thoughts.

Skully lets his true colors show around the end of the third part. There, he feeds Jack Skellington a sleeping poison, turns Grim into a pumpkin, then takes Jack, Grim, AND Yuu as his hostages while claiming he'll reign over Halloween. Okay, that sounds great on paper, right? But there's so many practical problems with this.

Firstly, HOW does Skully plan to achieve this??? He's not that powerful since he's a first year; how does he intend to stand up to the NRC students? We even know at this point that he can't use his UM that much. Skully has shown he is impulsive and doesn't think ahead too, because he just assumes that Grim figured him out after walking in on the scene of the crime instead of lying/deceiving him about who poisoned Jack. He could have easily blamed someone else or claimed he walked in and found Jack like this already, but he didn't. It comes off as very near-sighted and not well planned out on Skully's part (which may very well be intentional; I don't think he was written to be a large threat.) I know this event's plot isn't meant to be as serious as prior iterations of Halloween events, but it sure doesn't help build tension for the finale.

We find out later in the event that Skully isn't mistreating his captives; he's keeping them in the bathtub Lock, Shock, and Barrel ride around in, feeding Grim and Yuu snacks, and asking them to please keep quiet. He also rambles on a lot about how he admires Yuu and how he wants to grant them a perfect Halloween, etc. That's... wholesome for a kidnapper, I guess??? But what I don't appreciate is (again) how he keeps shoving his ideas onto me and acting like he knows what's best for everyone. He’s not respecting my autonomy or right to think how I want. Skully is literally made of the most negative traits of Idia and Malleus while having none of the danger level of either one/j 😭 This makes me continue to not take him seriously and think that Skully could easily be beaten up--which does, in fact, end up being the case.

The ones who truly shine in this event are Sebek, Jamil, and Leona. The implementation of the SSR squad in Nightmare is much better than Playful Land. In Playful, it felt like Kalim, Ace, and Ortho hardly did anything unique to save the day; instead, it was a convenient phone call that rescued them from demise. The most I can say is Kalim was open-minded and tried to welcome Fellow and hear him out. Most of the other things could have been fulfilled by any other character, which didn't make the SSRs feel as integral as they were in GloMasq (with Azul's UM being needed, Malleus being the one Rollo has beef with, and Idia understanding the feeling of losing a younger brother and mourning). In Nightmare, each of the SSRs is similarly given a chance to shine with their special skills and UMs.

Beginning with Sebek! He leads a lot of the planning and serves as the one to draw up plans, which earns him praise from everyone, including his seniors. It's excellent set-up for him to later confront Skully about the idea of being recognized and acknowledged by one's idols (which I will discuss later in this post). Sebek is also the first to confront Skully on Spiral Hill after Skully has kidnapped Grim, Yuu, and Jack. In an act of desperation, Skully starts firing off magic and making really deranged expressions; Sebek unleashes his own UM, Living Bolt. This results in a strong flash of light in their location. The impact destroys Skully's shades and causes him to break down--he wore them as part of his ensemble, trying so hard to emulate his Halloween idol, Jack. Skully manages to pumpkin Sebek in the midst of his fit, and Sebek insists that Malleus--his own idol--will surely rescue him. NEXT UP IS L*ONA OTL WHO HAS MADE ME SO ILL THE ENTIRE MONTH OF OCTOBER, HURK 🤢 who heard the shouting. He rescues Sebek (he’s de-pumpkin’d) and Skully isn’t able to touch him because King’s Roar is just too OP 😭 (I’m sort of confused about how tf Leona’s UM works though?????? He seems to be sanding Skully’s MAGIC, which shouldn’t even be tangible???) I’m confused. dbsvsjsnskwk And he tells Skully to get back up do he can keep beating him back down????? BRUTAL. Leona’s been pretty useful up until this point too, taking charge in leading the group, strategizing, sussing Skully out, and thinking long and hard about what his true identity is. Bro’s really working those fat brain cells of his, huh…

I think this is the first of the Halloween events (that introduce new characters) where the new guy’s explicitly said to be in danger of OB. Not sure why that is, it’s just interesting to note???

SkULLy RUNS FOR IT and bumps into Lock, Shock, and Barrel, who proceed to subdue him. Surprise, turns out that Jamil had gotten to them first and Snake Whispered the trio. The kids call Jamil MASTER and -SAMA… My guy, you are so repressed 💀 (I recall it being said in book 4 that using his UM on multiple people can result in rapid blog accumulation so UHHHH I guess I’ll overlook this for now or assume 3 people isn’t an issue????) Earlier in the event, Jamil was like the only person to approach Skully to try and include him in the planning. Must be used to this being a big brother + always dealing with his dorm.

I’m not sure if it’s just me but??? It feels like they overlooked how some of the SSR trio’s UMs worked just to have it fit in the context of the climax they wrote. For Jamil’s, maybe you can excuse the fact that he’s controlling 3 kids by saying it’s easier for him to manipulate young minds. BUT THERE’S NO EXCUSING HOW LEONA CAN SAND MAGIC 😭 At least say he has strong defensive magic that Skully cannot break through????

It’s times like these that make me really question whether or not Yuu is actually important for helping these people learn to get along, because they seemed to have resolved the issue just fine without any kind of intervention from Yuu. Yeah, they bickered and picked on each other too, but they still fixed things on their own (albeit on their own, but it comes together in the end anyway) while Yuu is kidnapped and completely out of the picture.

Vcdnsksksksn The moment that follows is kinda funny and wholesome… Well, for the SSR trio, not for Skully. They all sort of rub it in Skully’s face that he lost and then praise each other but in a back-handed way??? Like they call each other nasty and shit at planning, etc. Leona says Jamil bullied Skully so much that the poor thing started crying, then Jamil accuses Leona of threatening Skully a ton… then they gang up on Sebek (wow, they’re both awful and I love that for them).

Seeing this camaraderie makes Skully throw ANOTHER fit because he’s jealous that Sebek gets all this praise and attention. Meanwhile, Skully is all alone, always alone. Though it’s not explicitly stated, it’s implied Skully is deeply insecure about being by himself, as his classmates at school don’t understand him and rejected him + his interests. He extols a lonely and desolate version of Halloween too, something that reflects his own soul... clinging to the only solace he has in this world, the one constant. A holiday that he cherishes so very much--to the point where his own UM is linked back to it. The big dilemma he goes through this event seems to be a mix of having his own views being questioned as well as having his impression of his Halloween idol challenged. This makes Sebek a good foil character for him, similar to how Kalim was for Fellow and Idia for Rollo in the previous Halloween events. Skully even calls out Sebek explicitly, saying that he has all of the things he has never had. He'll never be disappointed by his idol Malleus (sadhbaslidbas this is ironic, considering the events of book 7), he has senpai who praise him, he has Zero for a friend, etc. Life’s soooo unfair, Skully claims. And like??? I was so shocked to see Sebek acting mature about the whole thing??????? He refutes Skully's claims and tells him straight up that to believe in someone isn't to force your own views onto them so your idol stays how you pictures them in your head. It's a mistake to think of one's idol as perfect--not even Malleus is perfect. Even so, Sebek explains that agreeing with someone and loving/respecting them are very different things... so he will accept Malleus's flaws and love him nevertheless. Even if he disagrees with Malleus, even if they have to part ways, Sebek will accept it. That's really surprising coming from him, seeing as how Sebek acts absolutely SURE of Malleus's absolute goodness in the main story... Now I'm wondering if this event must take place after book 7??? Because that's when Sebek has his own views on Malleus totally shaken. Still, I'm so proud of Sebek for dropping this hard truth on Skully--it's definitely something Skully needed to hear and be reminded of to be pulled back to reality. He also just outright calls Skully put for all his cowardly moves, including going after those who cannot fight back 💀 Very Ace of him to do…

Speaking of Skully, what really put the final nail in his coffin and sent him to the Shadow Realm (my dislike tier lol) was all the tantrums he threw this event. I understand being upset and frustrated. Really, I do. I understand being envious of others, of feeling like you've got no one by your side. But is it REALLY necessary to react like that…? And so frequently… He just shouts “shut up” over and over again… OTL I don't know, it feels like I could sympathize with him more if they properly explained why it is Skully is so into Halloween (besides his hometown being the same) and why he holds the past in such high regard. The most we get is it's just something his hometown is into and when he left for school, none of his peers really accepted that. Is the implication that Skully retreated further into his hyperfixation to cope with his loneliness????? If so, I'm not sure if this was properly conveyed so now Skully is left acting like a big baby and overreacting to everyone trying to get him to calm down. The worst of it is when he claims he’s the one who TRULY loves Halloween and everyone else is fake. That sounds like something straight out of an angry elitist otaku’s vent post. Other characters acted similar to this when on the brink of OB (which Skully was) but never so childishly. This might just be a me thing though, I don't really care for overly emotional characters; they're usually not my cup of tea.

I'm not sure how I feel about everyone forgiving Skully and partying with him at the end for the Halloween celebration. On one hand, yeah, forgiving him makes sense because it's not like he was plotting anything crazily world shattering like Rollo or a participating in a large-scale crime ring like Fellow. Skully didn't really harm anyone (though he did try to shatter someone he pumpkin’d), at least not on a large scale like Rollo and Fellow did. On the other hand, I think it was a little bit too overdone with how sappy it was??? Like why did Jack say he was PROUD of Skully for being so passionate that he went to these extremes for Halloween? Why did Jack give Skully a HEAD PAT after the shenanigans he pulled?? I felt that saying he's forgiven and inviting him to join the festivities anyway would be sufficient. And again, I detest how Skully disregarded everyone’s consent and kissed them (Yuu and the SSR trio) as an apology even when they (SSR trio) already made it clear they didn’t want to be kissed. That just felt super gross to me, not funny or cute 😔

One of the big highlights of this event was, of course, the Twst cover of This is Halloween. Everything about it is just so... *chef's kiss* from the strong vocal performance to the perfect selection of characters to recreate each scene. It's a shame that we can't access the song outside of this event, but I know that I'll be playing it on an endless loop off of Youtube 😂

For all of the issues I had with the story up until this point, I'll be the first to say that the ending was genuinely sweet. Skully actually expresses gratitude towards everyone (a first, lmao) and calls us his friends, the best thing that has ever happened to him, etc. He wants to meet with everyone and celebrate Halloween with them again. BUT. I don't like that he singled out Yuu specifically as someone he really likes. I get the same feelings from him as I do with Malleus... Like, there's a weird over-familiarity and attachment he has with Yuu despite Yuu not doing or saying much to bond with him. His reaction seems unwarranted to me, with a lot of the appeal of his friendship coming from how much the player projects onto him. (And to be clear, I say this ONLY for myself, as Yuu is meant to be a character for self-inserting; in the case where I put myself in Yuu's shoes, I would be uncomfortable with how Skully is acting toward me.)

Now we get to the ending that seems to have emotionally broken the fandom.

I said earlier in this post that I don't like Lost in the Book events, and another reason for that is because there's amnesia involved at the end. I feel like an event isn't worth it if the memories get wiped anyway because then it's like the events never happened at all. However, Nightmare actually played with this trope and did something really cool with it. Even though those who leave the book have their memories erased, they're still left with some residual feelings that can propel people to act. In the Stitch event, this resulted in the boys wanted to vacation to the beach. In Nightmare, Skully--who was transported within the book from his original time HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO--was so touched by the connections he made in the book that he essentially becomes a changed man. He graduates from NRC and travels the world to spread the joy of Halloween, thus being responsible for why it's such a big holiday in modern Twisted Wonderland, the era which our main cast is from.

No one remembers the book's events, but Skully is so thoroughly motivated by his lost memories... He somehow recreates the Nightmare Suit, BUT DROPS THE SHADES (a symbol of him trying to emulate Jack) BECAUSE HE HAS NOW BECOME HIS OWN PERSON. He shares a jubilant version of Halloween because that's the version he cherished celebrating with his idol and first real friends. History doesn't remember him, but his legacy is still going strong. LIKE THE GAO POSE... DID IT ORIGINATE FROM HIM???? ? ? ? ??????? ?? AND NOW I'M THINKING ABOUT ALL THE FUN THE GHOSTS AND STUDENTS HAD IN THE FIRST EVER HALLOWEEN EVENT... BECAUSE OF HIM SPREADING THE HOLIDAY AROUND

The NRC students don't remember him either, but they must somewhere in the deepest recesses of their hearts... CUZ THEY ALL STILL MAKE COMMENTS ABOUT HIM, LIKE LEONA SAYING BRO LOOKS LIKE A PATHETIC LITTLE MEOWMEOW (exaggeration). There's also the implication that Skully's spirit is still around, since the characters remark feeling a strange cooling sensation on the back of their hands. We never SEE him, but we sense that there's something there. In the end, they promise that they'll make the best Halloween ever in honor of his legacy and we get sequel bait.

Twst REALLY had to go and drop that ending on us and then peace out, huh 🤡 It's hard to put my feelings about this ending into words, but I think I would personally describe it as very bittersweet yet romantic. Not lovey-dovey romantic, but like... it portrays a hopeful future even though it's sad too. Like, it's tragic that the NRC students and Skully will never be able to celebrate together again. But isn't it cool that even though they were born in totally different eras, fate still allowed them to meet and completely change the course of history? And even if they forget about their encounter, that meeting still impacts them to this very day. It changed the world and their lives forever. Reaching for that thing you're missins and forgetting, without really know what it is... Something lingering there, without a form... There's something so dream-like about the concept, I have to commend the Twst devs for coming up with it. In that sense, I'm quite satisfied with the conclusion despite the bumps in the road I ran into on the way.

IN CONCLUSION. Yeah, I thought this event was another mixed bag. The pacing was bad and nothing that interesting happened since the story was mainly about preparing for Halloween. I'm not a fan of Skully. However, what I can say is that Nightmare had a good showcase of Sebek, Jamil, and Leona's strong suits and actually allowed them to resolve the crisis. The ending is also much stronger than Playful Land's and poses many interesting questions about Skully and his impact on history.

Finding Your Fan Account

Ot7 x Reader

Summary: How the members would react to finding out their S/o, who’s an Army, has/had a fan account

Warnings: none

A/N: Thanks to @bluewhalien23 for requesting this!

Masterlist

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Jin: I think he would feel a little embarrassed at first, just bc of how extra he knows the fans are sometimes. That being said, he can’t help also feeling a little surge of pride if he saw you screaming about how good he looked or how excited you were for the new comeback.

Yoongi: He would be pretty chill about it for the most part, but he wouldn’t be able to resist teasing you sometimes for some of the comments he read like “So, apparently I’m a gift from the gods?” “You know, I can get you some extra Jungkook photocards, since he’s your bias.”

Hobi: I could honestly see him having a lot of fun with an S/o who’s an Army. Like he would purposefully follow your fan account just so he can see your reactions to new music or upcoming projects and tease you with potential spoilers. He just loves seeing how excited you get every time.

Namjoon: He would feel kinda shy and embarrassed about it, at least at first, like “Why do you have so many gifs of me from the Sexy Nukim performance?”, but I think he would also kinda enjoy knowing that he can get your honest opinion and reaction to projects he’s working on as a fan.

Jimin: Omg, he’s gonna tease you soo much! Like don’t get me wrong, he loves that you support him and his career so much, but he can’t resist teasing when he sees you gushing about how good he looks or certain performances. He will get sassy w you tho if he sees you posting too much about another member

Taehyung: Gonna tease you soo much no.2. He lurks on Army social media a lot, so of course he’d come across your account. “So, you really like the Dimple stage outfits, huh?”*smirk Fr tho, I think he would find it kinda cute and funny(lowkey would read your works tho if your a fic writer, soo *eyes)

Jungkook: Gonna tease you soo much no.3. He would be a constant mix of shy and cocky about it, lowkey stalking your account to see which photos/videos/songs get the biggest reaction out of you and then asking about them later like “So what exactly does ‘fjghdifbrgtgkdf’ mean?”

Taglist: @sopebubbles-replies @btsw1fe @this-must-be-my-tardis @whitefoxgirl @bethanysnow @coffeedepressionsoup @main-bangtansmauyeondan @feminympho @a-gayish-unicorn @dfqcsqueen @mother2monsters @comingupwithacoolnameishard @universal-travel-er @bo0o0o0ooo @captainorangegoose @k4ngelz

blue lock boys when you surprise them ! pt 1. ♡

ft. sae & kaiser x f!reader

(neo-egoist arc spoilers!! be warned)

author’s note: my last blue lock post got a lot of love and it made me more motivated, so thank you everyone! might do a part too where the roles are swapped, or with more characters. lmk by asking if you have any other requests. enjoy more bllk content, my lovely readers. <3

itoshi sae:

sae is gone a lot. you knew from the moment you got into a relationship with him that this would be the reality of your relationship. you loved him though, so even if you missed him tremendously, he would always come back home into your arms. there wasn’t much more you could ask for.

sae had gone to brazil for three games. it was a week stay, but it felt so insufferably long. maybe 3-4 days in, you were sick of being home after work not having anyone to go to or not having anything to do. so what did you do? obviously book a ticket to brazil yourself! to avoid suspicion, you told sae that you might not respond to his texts because you were going out with your friends and end up staying over at their place. (all your friends were busy that week.) but he didn’t catch anything!

you fell asleep on the flight, waking up to your landing. your heart was racing as you walked off into the airport. you’ve never really done something this grand before. surprising your boyfriend right before his game? god, you never expected to even set foot in another country for a while. all you could do was quickly rush to get a taxi, (you learned basic portuguese for this) and off you were to the stadium where his last game was being hosted.

quickly playing the driving, you ran inside. even if shidou was annoying, you thanked him for not revealing your plan to sae and helping you enter the stadium freely. “your boyfriend is a lucky one, yeah?” you could only nod in nervousness. why were you scared to see him? what if he just told you to go back home, what if he didn’t want any distractions, what if-? “c’mon he’s about to get on field, go!” shidou pushed you near the place his team was getting ready.

“hey [name]! sae didn’t tell us you were gonna’ be here.” one of his teammates grinned at you. you saw sae slowly turn around when he heard your name, an annoyed look plastered on his faces, thinking his teammates were tricking him for a stupid laugh. that was until he actually saw you, that his eyes widened.

“uh,, surprise sae?” he kind of just stood there for a second, not even being able to process the fact that you were physically standing in front of him. you only were able to feel dejected for a mere second, assuming he wasn’t happy to see you, that was until you were suddenly enveloped into a warm hug. and for a second, it felt as if you were the only two in the blazing stadium. “stupid, why are you here?” he whispered in your ear, not letting you go. despite his chosen words, his voice was filled with nothing but softness.

“cause i missed you, sae. you’re always gone, and even if i was prepared, it hurts not being with you.” you replied back. god no, you weren’t going to cry right before he went on the field. “don’t cry princess, i’m right here.” you were trying so hard to hold it in, but you couldn’t help it, he was with you, after what felt like an eternity. “thank you for surprising me, you’re the best thing i could ask for.” he kissed your forehead, still whispering so his teammates couldn’t hear the sweet nothings he reserved for you.

michael kaiser:

the ace of bastard münchen loved you very dearly. kaiser loved selectively, but the moment he laid eyes on you, he was smitten. truly, he tried to make as much time as humanly possible to spend with you but when blue lock joined the top teams, his brain had been haywire because of isagi. all he could think of was how to improve, how to crush him.

so naturally; with his brain occupied and all, he gradually started spending more and more time away from home to practice. sure, he still texted you sometimes and all, but you felt more lonely before than ever, since you were so used to kaiser being there to smother you in his love and adoration.

so when today finally came, the day where they would go up against barcha fc, it was him to finally prove he was a better player than isagi. he left super early that morning. he didn’t expect you to even try and leave the house because you studied from home, and he was going to be gone practically the whole day. to be honest, you really did want to go and surprise him at the game, but you couldn’t afford to skip class today. so you had to come up with something else grand to surprise kaiser.

so you went out after class, an hour before he was supposed to come home. you bought heart-shaped balloons, confetti, a cake, and any other decorations that you could drape onto the walls in your shared house. just before you were about to go back, you got a *ping!* from your phone.

ml michael: baby we won!!!! i’ll be home in a bit <3

you: congrats ! i’m waiting <3

you knew after that you had to rush home and get ready. gratefully your house wasn’t too far from the store. so you quickly unloaded everything from your car and put everything up in the living room, near the entrance of your house. “i hope he likes it, and isn’t too tired to just ignore everything..” you let out a slight sigh before continuing to finish up putting up the decorations.

you heard a loud engine outside and you would have been surprised if it was anyone besides kaiser. you quickly ran to shut off the lights before hiding behind the couch that faced the wall. the sound of the keys jingling as the door opened made your heart race as you held your hand over your mouth, not wanting him to even hear your breathing. “my dearest love, i’m home- huh? why are the lights off?” you couldn’t help but internally giggle at his insanely slow reaction time.

“[name], are we playing hide and seek or something? you know i’ll find you.” at that, you unintentionally rolled your eyes at his confidence. there’s no way he would expect you to be behind this couch, not to mention he hasn’t even turned the lights on- “found you.” you yelped as kaiser picked you up from behind, sitting you on his lap on the side of the couch.

“now, does my pretty girl wanna tell me why she was hiding behind the couch?” he kissed your cheek, and he swore he could see them turn red in the darkness. your entire plan? ruined. this really wasn’t the way you wanted to surprise him. “just wanted to surprise you, y‘know? you didn’t even turn on the lights silly.” kaiser gave you a confused look but nonetheless got up to turn them on. “surprise! and of course good job on winning your game today.” you smiled at him, but he just stared at you with the biggest heart in his eyes.

“you’re the cutest thing ever.” he lifted you up again and you wrapped your legs around him. “there’s a cake too, we should eat it.” you mentioned, totally forgetting that you set it out on the table. “i love you, liebe.” he couldn’t stop kissing you after that surprise.

How You Met

word count: 873 || avg. reading time: 4 mins.

pairing: post-time skip Osamu x chubby!Reader

genre: fluff

warnings: spoilers

The convenience store you chose was tiny, as they all were, with narrow rows of sweets, snacks and ramen packed tightly together. Grabbing a bag of dog treats and your favorite sour gummies, you wanted to turn to the prepared food section only to bump into someone. “I’m so sorry”, you said automatically and looked up. The guy you had run into was very tall and wore a cap with a simple logo of what seemed to be an onigiri. “No worries. No harm done.”, he said and gave a friendly smile.

You both tried to pass each other but always managed to step in each other’s way, laughing awkwardly. You reached out to hold him gently in place, navigating yourself past him. Before you rounded the corner to the next section you threw a glance over your shoulder and found him smiling after you. Making your way to the cooler you zeroed in on a sandwich and milk, but when you tried to open the door to the fridge, it was stuck. You looked around, making sure no one saw you fail so miserably and gave it another yank. Nothing. You sighed and put your shopping down to use both hands.

The door still didn’t budge. You stretched your neck and rolled your shoulders, ready to mean business and pulled one more time. The door opened with such force that it made you stumble backwards, which was bad enough. But in the process the guy who had obviously come over to help, got hit in the face by the glass.

You wanted the earth to open up and swallow you whole. “Oh my god, I am so so sorry. Are you alright?”

Someone behind you two, obviously his friend, started to wheeze with laughter. The gravely injured guy rubbed his nose and complimented you on your timing.

You were beet red and wanted to hide when he gallantly opened the door in one smooth motion and stood there expectantly, apparently waiting for you to choose what you came there for.

After a hurried checkout you left the store and pulled out your phone. With a deep breath you typed a message to your friends detailing the encounter.

Atsumu and Osamu waited for their bus, coffees in hand, one still teasing the other about the swollen nose. The younger twin grinned and took a sip. You had been very cute indeed and if you wouldn't have run away like that he would have liked to talk to you a little more. Maybe invite you to join them for the coffee or to his restaurant. As he was contemplating visiting this part of town more often to take a chance on maybe seeing you again, Atsumu smirked and nodded past his shoulder. "Oh look, it's yer girlfriend."

Osamu turned around and sure enough there was the cute chubby girl from the store, a fox-like dog on your heel, eyes lowered to your phone. When you got closer to the bus stop, you spotted them and for a second, your steps slowed as if to consider fight or flight. You brushed a strand of your (h/c) hair behind your ear, turning bright red again and he couldn't help but smile.

After checking himself with Atsumu, Osamu walked over to you. You sat down on a bench, your groceries being inspected by a curious nose who now that he was approaching, squinted suspiciously.

"Hey.", he said with a smile.

You looked up shyly, "Hi… how is your nose?"

He waved you off. "All good, still attached."

You gave a nervous little chuckle.

"I'm Osamu."

When you just nodded and didn’t reply, he raised his brows expectantly.

"Oh right, I'm y/n."

"Well, it's nice to officially meet ya, y/n-san."

He already couldn't get enough of your blushing smile.

"And who is this?", Osamu asked, kneeling down to be introduced to the dog.

"Oni. Technically short for Onigiri, but to be fair, the demon connection also fits sometimes"

The fox-like dog rolled over, making him coo and draw gentle circles on the white tummy.

"You'll have to excuse her, she doesn't get much love at home.", you sighed dramatically, making him snort. What followed were questions like "Where are you from?" "Do you live around here?" and general questions about how you liked living in Kobe.

When it started to rain, Atsumu joined you two under the roof of the bus stop, throwing his brother an annoyed but apologetic look for interrupting but being consolidated quickly by a surprisingly interested Oni who also allowed him to massage her ears.

"So, whaddaya do? Are ya a student?", Osamu asked, playing with Oni‘s curled tail.

"Not anymore, actually. I work at a café."

You rummaged in your bag before pulling out a business card with an elegant golden emblem on a black backdrop.

"We're currently remodeling and expanding and all that good stuff. But we expect to reopen in a few weeks so if you guys want to come and visit…"

“And what if I wanted to see ya before then?”

Osamu could feel Atsumu suppressing a holler at that line and was grateful that his brother showed that much restraint.

Unveiled Sorrows (Epilogue)

Paring : Dean Winchester X Reader, Sam Winchester X Reader (platonic)

Word count: 2.6k

Warning : angst, slight s6 spoilers (nothing major) mention of lucifer, fluff, unedited.

A/n : This series follows canon plot line but some scenes might happen differently or be completely changed. Check the warnings for each part before continuing.

I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION TO COPY MY WORK, TRANSLATE IT OR POST IT TO ANY OTHER PLATFORM. REBLOGS ARE APPRECIATED.

"Daddy's home." Dean yelled opening the front door. Y/n emerged from the kitchen with Adeline on her hip, a small smile on her face as he moved inside the house.

"Daddy's home? Really?" She questioned with an amused look on her face. Adeline noticed her father and started wiggling in her mother's embrace, eager to go to her daddy.

"I was talking to my princess." He replied with a grin, taking Adeline from Y/n, cooing at the little baby and kissing her chubby cheeks. Y/n raised a brow at him and he sighed defeatedly. "Fine. I thought you might wan-" He wiggled his eyebrows.

"Don't even." Y/n replied interrupting him. Dean let out a laugh and pulled her in for a kiss. "I missed you." She mumbled against his lips.

"I missed you more." One of his arms was holding Adeline securely while the other hand slithered around her waist, pulling her even closer. "Missed my girls so much." He dropped a kiss to Adeline's forehead.

"Where's Sam?" Y/n questioned as Dean let go off her, following him to the living room. He dropped on to the couch and made Adeline sit on his chest.

"Some case, salt and burn I guess." Dean replied with a shrug. Y/n nodded going back into the kitchen. She was in the middle of preparing lunch before Dean arrived, so she went back to it. Dean frowned at that, he had expected her to smother him, not leave his side for at-least a few hours.

Y/n had been so lost in thought, she didn't realise the patty was burning and the smoke filled the kitchen. Dean placed Adeline on the floor before he rushed inside the kitchen. He turned off the stove and tossed the pan in the sink before opening the windows. He grabbed her by the shoulders breaking her out of her reverie. She jumped as he touched her and looked at him wide eyed.

"Sweetheart you okay?" Dean asked pulling her out of the kitchen and she nodded. He made her sit on the couch and kneeled in-front of her. "Baby what's wrong? You've been acting strange." She looked at him with an indecipherable expression. He hated seeing her so vulnerable and unsure. "Did something happen while I was away?"

"I've been thinking." She started and Dean's heart started beating faster. At this moment he didn't want to know what she had been thinking. Had she been thinking of leaving him? Did she finally realise that he'd been cruel to her and wants to do the same to him? Is his bad karma coming to bite him in his ass? Would he be able to recover from losing her once again?

"What have you been thinking?" Dean's voice almost cracked, he cleared his throat as he felt a lump forming. His voice was filled with emotion.

"Ever since you left I've had time to think, and now that the haze of fear has cleared, I wonder if I made the right decision. In that moment all I wanted was you, for you to protect me, and Adeline. But now, I'm not sure if that's what I want anymore." Her heart was breaking as she spoke, she loves him, honest to God. But she wondered if it was really enough. For her, or him.

Dean took a deep breath, he felt his body was on fire and his emotions were all over the place, he didn't know to react. His mistakes are now catching up to him and there's nothing he can do about it. "What did I do to make you feel this way?" He had to ask, he needed to know if could make this right somehow.

"I don't know, Dean. Part of me wonders if you felt obligated to stay with us after the whole shifter ficasso. What changed, Dean?"

"I didn't, I wanted to be with you for as long as I can remember, way before the shifter, even before I went to Hell." He confessed honestly. "I don't love you sweetheart, I am in love with you. You and our baby girl are the most important things in my life. I've been stupid, I've made mistakes but God knows I've always wanted to be with you, there's no obligation." His voice cracked, tears welling up in his eyes.

It was silent for a minutes. Y/n's gaze lingered at the little baby, babbling and crawling around the living room. Oblivious to the heartbreak unfolding around her. "Did you sleep with her?" The question caught him off guard. She didn't want to look at his face, even if she did ask the question, she was afraid of the answer.

"No." He replied instantly. But it wasn't defensive, just honest. "I never did, nor did I have any intention of doing so." He placed his fingers under her chin making her look at him. "I promised Sam I'd let you be and go to her and that was the only reason I lived with her. Maybe he knew I'd go insane without you and him. That night at Bobby's, I told you it was just familiarity with her. That was the truth."

"I'm scared Dean." Y/n whispered. Dean's heart broke at her words. Of course she had all the reason to be scared, to not trust him. He wouldn't blame her if she told him to leave and never come back. "I love you, I do and that's what scares me the most." She cried.

Dean sat up a bit, so he was resting on his knees. "I know, sweetheart. You have every reason to be scared." He cupped her cheek, wiping her tears with the pad of his thumb.

"When you left, a fear settled in, that you might never come back." Her confession broke him. His tears were now cascading down his cheeks. He felt resentful of himself, he'd broken her, someone so beautiful and fragile, beyond repair. He felt suffocated in his own skin.

"I hate myself for putting you through what I did, I know I don't deserve you, I know your love is too pure for someone like, and I wouldn't hold it against you if you'd never want to see me again. But please, don't leave me, baby." He said his voice wavering with each word.

"I don't hate you Dean. But I'm terrified." She replied holding his face in her hands. He closed his eyes, relishing in her touch, as if it would be the last time he'd be able to feel her. "I know you might think I'm crazy, that I led you on when I told you I forgive you. I did forgive you Dean and I do want you but.." she exhaled.

"None of that, sweetheart." He shook his head. He might've thought she was crazy when she forgave him so easily but right now, he understands where she's coming from. "I understand. I know this is hard, but if only you'd let me prove you wrong. I'd spend the rest of my life trying, I'll come back to you. Wherever you and Addy are. You're my home."

"I trust you. I'm sorry for troubling you when you just got back, I-"

"Don't apologise for how you feel. I've hurt you, it's my responsibility to make it up to you. You need assurance and I'll give it you every waking second. I just want you to know. I love you and I'm never leaving you ever again. I'm here as long as you'll have me." They aren't just words, and Y/n could see that. The determination, the love in his eyes, that's the Dean the she fell in love in. The Dean who would never let anything bad happen to her, the Dean who jumped in front of bullets, claws and demons to keep her safe. That's her Dean.

Instead of answering him, she rested her head on his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. She took a deep breath as she snuggled in his embrace. The soft thumping of his heart, calming her nerves. Dean threaded his fingers through her hair softly. He ran his down her back soothingly.

"How about you rest for a while, baby?" He asked pulling apart. She nodded her head and he helped her lay down comfortably on the couch, he grabbed the throw blanket from the back of the couch and laid in on her. "I'll be right here when you wake up." He kissed her forehead before going to pick his little angel.

Little Adeline whined as Dean picked her up from the floor, pulling her away from her toys that she was so happily chewing but then she stared at her face and bit his cheek with her toothless gums. "I'm glad to know you're not upset with daddy, little angel." Dean chuckled humourlessly as she continued to hold his face with her little hands and kept attacking him.

About an hour later the front door opened and walked in Sam, while Dean was in the kitchen cleaning up the mess after he was done preparing lunch. Sam was about to holler, announcing his presence but stopped when he saw Y/n sleeping on the couch. He made his way to the kitchen and saw his brother wearing an apron, cleaning the countertop and Adeline watching her father work, securely strapped in a high chair.

"You'd make good housewife, Dean." Sam joked opening the fridge to grab himself a beer. The older Winchester glared at his brother but continued his work. "Everything okay?" Sam asked noticing the lack of reaction from his brother.

"No, she still think I might leave and never come back." Dean replied lowly and Sam immediately felt guilty. If it wasn't for his stupid promise, his brother and best friend wouldn't have suffered the way they did.

"Dean, I'm sorry." Sam started, "it was my fault and you two are still reeling from it."

"Hey cmon man you didn't know. Its all on me. If I wasn't such a coward and told you from the start." Dean stopped himself before could spiral down the self pity hole. "Never mind it. You go freshen up, I'll wake Y/n for lunch." Dean said grabbing Adeline and leaving the kitchen. He let Adeline pat her mother's face lightly and watched as Y/n stirred awake. A bright smile took over her features as soon as she saw her baby.

"Hey gorgeous. Wake up, Addy and Daddy made lunch for you." Dean chuckled at his own stupid rhyming. Y/n smiled as sat up stretching a bit. "Did you sleep well?"

"Surprisingly yeah." She replied honestly. She hadn't been sleeping well since Dean had left, scared out of her senses but knowing he was here, she slept like a baby.

A few days passed, Sam kept finding cases but Dean refused to go with him this soon. He told him to either tell someone else to go or call for other backup. Just because he wasn't going out there with him, didn't mean he wanted his brother to hunt alone. He just wanted to keep his family safe.

One evening Y/n was playing with Adeline in her and Dean's bedroom, she let out a huge sigh when Dean exited the bathroom. Dean raised his brow questioningly when she looked at him.

"I'm upset with you daddy, Adeline." She said to her daughter, sporting a playful pout.

"Why is mommy upset with me, Addy?" Dean asked sitting on the bed the duo.

"Daddy went to fairyland and didn't bring us a souvenir." Y/n grinned at him and he rolled his eyes groaning loudly.

"I'm gonna go kill your uncle Sammy, little angel. Just wait here for daddy." He said and Y/n burst out laughing. Although she didn't understand anything, the little baby also joined her mother, giggling loudly.

"Did you serve King Oberon, Dean?" Y/n asked wiping a tear away from her eyes. Her laugh uncontrollable. His feign anger and glared at her playfully.

"You're lucky, I love you." Dean replied sassily, before settling beside her. She continued to laugh and pretended to be hurt but he felt immense joy seeing her laugh and smile. He'd let her tease him mercilessly if it meant her being happy, if it meant seeing her beautiful smile, the soft crinkling of her nose or hear her beautiful laugh.

He knows what he wants. This is what he wants for the rest of his life and he'd be damned if he let it slip through his fingers ever again.

A month later, Dean took Y/n out on a date. Sam had willingly volunteered to babysit since he knows it's a big day and the two of them need it. Dean made reservations for a fancy restaurant, cleaned Baby spotless and dressed up nicely. He was a nervous wreck the whole time. They had a nice dinner, drank wine, which Dean hated but tried not to show it.

"There's something I wanna say." Dean said clearing his throat. Y/n tensed a bit unknowingly. He grabbed her hand on the table and caressed the back of it with his thumb. "I am leaving hunting." Y/n's eyes widened as she choked on her own saliva.

"What?" She exclaimed and he let out a chuckle.

"Yes. I'm getting out. Just like you did."

"But hunting is your life!" She knew how much he loved doing what he does, it's all he's ever known. He told her once that hunting makes him feel alive.

"It was. But now you're my life. Adeline is." Dean replied with ease, because that's the truth. Hunting doesn't seem exciting anymore. Waking up next to her does. Playing with Adeline does. Looking for to spending time with his family does.

"De, I need you to think about this and not make a decision in haste. Because that would be a whole mountain of stupid. Even for you." She wouldn't want to him to do something he doesn't want to. She would never ask him to give up such an important aspect of his life.

"Did you just quote Lucifer to me?" He looked at incredulously. She shrugged with a smirk. "Baby I'm trying to propose and you're quoting Lucifer?" He let out an amused chuckle.

"You're WHAT?"

"Well I was getting there before you said that. So as I was saying, I'm quitting because I want to have a normal life with you. I want us to be an actual family. And when I thought about it you're the only one in this family who doesn't have Winchester in her name. It isn't fair, you know." He rounded the table and knelt before her. "So will do you me the honour of being my wife, and becoming Y/n Winchester?"

"What.... What are you saying?" She stuttered not believing whatever he said. He chuckled at her shocked expression.

"Will you marry me, sweetheart?"

"Yes! Hell yes.!" She jumped up from her chair, pulling him up with her. She didn't even wait for him to put the ring of her finger and her smashed her lips to his'. "Oh God, I love you."

"And I love you." Dean said slipping the ring in her finger. A platinum ring with a single round diamond, sparkled subtly on her finger. Its simplicity spoke volumes without being gaudy.

“We gotta get pie.” She smiled through her tears. Dean threw his head back as he let out a loud laugh.

“Definitely.”

They embraced tightly, hearts overflowing with happiness as they savored the moment. With laughter and tears, their journey took a beautiful new turn towards forever.

6. Worlds most random in the mood for request… but is there any fic that features Transformers? The idea spawned in my brain and it’s haunting me. Autobots, Decepticons and Wangxian, I can’t be the first person to have thought of that. @cullen-blue23

~*~

7. recs of wwx sad or crying bc of lwj, and lwj feels guilty? thanks for all your hard work!

I'm feeling kinda angsty today, so are there any fics where Lan Zhan sacrifices himself for Wei Ying's happiness?

It could be any kind of sacrificial method and Wei Ying doesn't know of Lan Zhan's sacrifice until it's too late. Wei Ying could try getting him back through any means (time travel, necromancy, etc) except for sacrificing himself :D

Thank you and keep up the good work!

15. Hello! If you accept nsfw asks, I am looking for WangXian fics where dragonJi has *ahem* dragonly endowments downstairs.

Crowley's pre-fall name is BARAQIEL (THEORY)

THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS OR RATHER CLUES FOR GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 CONTENTS, PROCEED WITH CAUTION 🤍

Very well. Who doesn't love the Crowley is the Archangel Raphael theory (I am certainly of those people who do). During my first watch of Good Omens S2 I was even somehow almost confident that that was the case.

However, my second, more careful, viewing of this lovely (but equally heartbreaking) season made me change my mind, likely for good. In episode 4, Furfur's book "Demon's Guide To Angelic Beings Who Walk The Earth" shows us a name of a certain angel Baraqiel. (see photo below) Knowing Good Omens that can hardly be a coincidence.

Unfortunately, the very text is quite unreadable. One thing, other than the name, which is pretty clear is the subheading "Angel of the Sky" and since the episode 1 lets us take a look at how Crowley did indeed take part in creation of what is to be seen in the night sky, one can hardly find that entirely non-fitting. One other sentence I was (at least I think) able to read is "Often draped in red."

(On a different note but certainly worth noticing are scribbles that generally just roast Crowley – his suspiciousness, hair and name (though I am not absolutely sure of the latter) "His hair is bad!" Wow, Furfur really does hate Crowley.)

Then there is something written above the name of Baraqiel, unfortunately in none of the picture frames does it get a bit readable. I wonder though, couldn't it be "former"? Since it comes precisely after mention of Crowley to whom should one report on Aziraphale.

Crowley is very powerful. Dominion

A word that is not exactly readable but can be deduced from its placement (it is situated just as Aziraphale's "Principality") is Baraqiel's rank – Dominion Angel. It should be noted here that I very much lack proper knowledge of either Jewish or Christian mythology and I would hate to provide any incorrect claims. I therefore think it is better for me not to overly state things, even more so since everyone can look into it on their own and figure out what that might mean for our beloved demon. What I will say, however, is that they are (as I understand it) very powerful and, placed within the 2nd triad in the angel hierarchy, ranked higher than the Archangels. This would go well along with the emphasis that was in my opinion laid on Crowley's powers quite a lot this season.

For example: "A miracle of enormous power happened last night. The kind of miracle only the mightiest of archangels could've performed," said Shax to Crowley, to which he replied: "How'd you know I didn't do it?" He didn't get an answer.

What I think (and I may be very wrong, obviously) is that a miracle of this vastness wouldn't have happened simply because of a regular angel and a regular demon did together half a miracle each. What is also worth noticing is that the tool with which Crowley created the Nebula is the same as the one he used to temporarily stop time at the end of season 1 right before Satan's arrival. So much to the size of his powers.

Baraqiel, lightning of God. Fallen angel

Finally, to Baraqiel himself. My lack of knowledge concerning this matter still stands and frankly I don't even know where to find valid information about angels and such on the internet. Baraqiel should, however, stand for "lightning of God" and is also regarded as the angel of lightning. In season 2 there are (as far as I remember) two occasions where Crowley is put in correlation with lightning. (1) His poor anger management issues in episode 1 and (2) his not at all better matchmaking in episode 3 ("I haven't done weather in ages"). Furthermore, Baraqiel is considered to be the one who taught astrology to people. Nevertheless, what points to Crowley and Baraqiel being one even more is that Baraqiel is indeed a fallen angel.

•

So... That is probably it. I usually tent to theorize about stuff in quiet, in fact, this is the first time I've used Tumblr for anything other than reading Neil Gaiman's posts. I didn't even think that I would actually post it but then I've searched on Twitter, TikTok and here on Tumblr if anyone else has already come up with this theory. The only post I could find (hopefully I haven't missed anything) was by @valaza_04 on Twitter (click here) where they refer to the same frame shot as I do here.

Now I know, we are still recovering from heartbreaking (but if you ask me, absolutely amazing) finale and the main thing currently on our minds is figuring out why would Aziraphale choose as he did and the many wonderful theories that come with it. However, considering the utterly virulent look that Metatron shot at Crowley before walking out of the bookshop with Aziraphale and also his "Well, [Crowley] always did want to go his own way. Always asking damn fool questions, too." makes me think that he absolutely does not care for Crowley and whichever angel he was before the Fall. And I reckon it won't remain unnoticed in season 3 and might even be really important (or that is just me wishing for more pre-fall Crowley scenes). Hence I decided that I will post this. And it doesn't matter if no one will see this in the end, it was quite fun to write. However, if there is someone who will read this all the way through, I hope they will accept my apology for the mistakes I have most possibly made (English is not my first language) and also for the ridiculous length this post has come to gather. It turns out, I am just as chatty of a writer as I am speaker.

Well maybe I will come around to write one more post about this theory, only with a proper research this time. Till then thank you and, please, support this season by streaming as much as you can so we can have season 3 of this masterpiece of a show. And be kind to those bringing it to us in your comments regarding the ending, even though it is very frustrating and heart-shattering, it is also maybe the best ending we could have hoped for with the prospects of season 3.

Thank you for letting me talk my heart out, Tumblr.

ok i have two anon messages, one of them i won't publish because i think it's a little mean to Godwyn and i don't want to damper ppl's fun if i can help it. i understand your frustration anon but it's sth i personally don't feel that bothered by.

the other anon contains light spoiler about Messmer so im answering it under the cut. please note that i don't mind spoilers, and though i make an effort to hide them until the DLC drops, please beware when you open the reply to my post from now on !

Light spoilers for the dlc Some of Messmer's knights abandoned him and betrayed him for being a snek boi (literally) i wonder who is his other parent, since we are certain his mother is Marika so he might be the result of Marika getting freaky with the GEQ or some serpent god. Actually it would be so hilarious and cool if messmer was born from marika in the same way Athena was born from Zeus

As I mentioned before I don't really care who is his other parent is (sorry Messmer's other parent... if you even exist 🤣 i think since he has the same butterfly motif, he should be a child solely coming from just Marika herself, like Miquella and Malenia... i need that trio so bad...), but the detail about his soldier turning on him makes me wonder if the snakes being seen as traitor to the Erdtree is something out of Marika's control. HEAR ME OUT.

I'm having this whacky idea that the Greater Will is troubled by Messmer's power and his devotion to only Marika, and not them. Plus they view Marika's affection towards him as a sign of weakness unbefitting a God (*stare at Goldmask's remark about Marika*), so they declare snakes as traitor to separate him from his mother. Marika had no choice but to send him to Land of Shadow to protect him (explain why it's stated that he fled from the Erdtree)... and he carried on fighting for her despite everything.

That would also explain why after Messmer Marika tried to distance herself from her later children, as evidently her love could become their death sentence .... or well that's where my delulu led me 🥲🥲

(that being said... if his other parent is the GEQ i think i'll be VERY invested indeed lmaooo Marika breaking hearts left and right like a normal sunday)

Arid - Rafayel/Reader

Pairing: Rafayel/Reader

Rating: Explicit - MDNI

Categories: F/M, Other

Warning: Not very healthy relationship dynamics. Spoilers for Rafayel's first myth story.

Rafayel tries to steal the heart of Philos, only to realize that he's fallen into a trap. __ In which an impromptu summoning of your beloved companion takes a heated turn.

CROSS POSTED FROM AO3 with an added blurb :)

Rafayel holds a dagger to your back even as you embrace him without a care in the world. How long could he keep up this facade of loving you, or rather, when would he finally be able to love you with no pretenses? He shouldn’t feel guilty when you stroke his head and whisper sweet nothings in his ear. He shouldn’t feel the need to tear your heart from your chest when you place his hand over it.

“Do you hear it? It belongs to you,” you murmur, holding him closer. When you shift your body, Rafayel discreetly moves his dagger away from you. You draw patterns into the leather on his clothes with your finger. “I don’t want to stay here. Whisk me away.”

“Is that Your Highness’s wish?” He replies, his voice muffled through his mask. You hum in contemplation. Like a genie in a bottle, you don’t know how he would interpret your wish.

“I think I shall decline. You could fulfill my wish anyway you want to see fit.” You assume his silence means his confusion. “For example,” you drag a finger down his back and then splay your hand on a spot, “you could take me away from this world.” You move your face closer to his ear. “You could kill me.”

He stiffens up and you laugh. “I jest.”

“How amusing,” he says, his tone falling flat. “Your life is no laughing matter, Your Highness. Many people need you to stay alive.”

“So what?” The words come out bitter. “I can think of a few that deserve to die.”

“Such behavior is unbecoming of a princess.”

“I was never one in the first place.” You had always resented the role. One day, you woke up with no memories and were suddenly hailed as a god. You were their precious princess, forever stuck in her tower.

You glance over your room in boredom. Colorful jewels glint in the sun, but they look dull to you. Maybe you’ll ask Natasha to fetch new ones from the market. The fine sheets beneath you and Rafayel feel like burlap, rough and irritating. Time to change those out for new ones. “I would like to feel death one day,” you muse. “Perhaps that is my wish.”

Rafayel gasps and almost drops his hold on his dagger. Your behavior today was different, stranger than usual. “What is with you today?” He moves away from you and somehow slips it back into its holster when your attention is elsewhere. Did you catch him in the act? This had to have been a bluff. His palms are sweaty.

(Even if you did notice its sharp blade on your spine, you wouldn’t have made your reaction known.)

“I’ve been feeling odd these days, Rafayel.” You begin, your knees now pressed to your chest as you stare out of your window and onto the horizon. “I wish to go to the sea.” You turn your head and look at him, finding his almost too intense gaze on you. You hold it. “Would it be strange of me to say that I’d been dreaming about it?”

He doesn’t reply. There’s no warmth in your eyes. “I’ve only known this place. I don’t know what lies beyond these city walls. Tell me a story, Rafayel.”

Once again, he asks. “Is that Your Highness’s wish?” You wave a dismissive hand at him. You can’t see the smirk under his mask. “Very well. But I ask that you pay utmost attention.”

“When the world was an ocean, there lived a kingdom below the tide. It was ruled by a benevolent, but mischievous god. By his side was his knight. She was bound to him by an oath to protect her liege, no matter the cost.” The tone in his voice suggests something sinister.

“The people were happy and the kingdom was thriving. They cheered for the god of the sea when he passed by. They called his knight a hero.”

“But the god had fallen in love, you see. For someone who could hardly be serious, he had been moved by his knight’s unwavering devotion to him. And for someone who granted the wishes of his people, he failed to ask the one next to him.”

“‘What do you wish for?’ The god asked. ‘Ask anything, and I shall grant it to thee.’ The knight hesitated. Someone like her should have a wish dedicated solely to her liege, but that was not the case. Would he be disgusted by her desire? Her heart quivered.”

“‘I wish to know what lies beyond the sea.’ It was his heart that wavered next, as he realized that his knight’s desire was to go away. This was a wish that he could not grant.” You shift uncomfortably, but he pays it no mind and continues his story.

“‘I’m sorry,’ said the god. The knight shook her head, neither angry nor disappointed.” Rafayel moves closer to you now, admiring the way your breath hitches as he draws nearer and nearer.

“‘Do you wish for my heart?’” He asks.

You don’t know whether it’s a question for you, or another line in the story. You don’t give him an answer. You touch his mask and this time, he doesn’t move away when you remove it. It falls between you, and he quickly flings it into a forgotten corner before descending upon you.

It’s warm, you think, almost unbearably so as you kiss him back feverishly. It feels right when he brings his leg up and hikes up your skirt between your thighs. You run your fingers through his hair and he groans when you tug on it, earning you a bite on your lower lip. The heat continues to rise as hands roam to pinch and caress. It’s a losing battle for the both of you. He grinds his knee against your throbbing heat and you keen into it, moaning his name loud enough to make him hush you.

“Quiet, Princess.” Hearing your title used this way makes you shiver. It doesn’t go unnoticed as he smirks. “We wouldn’t want anyone to barge in would we?”

“The guards would be horrified to hear that an assassin has come for me,” you tease back and tug on his hair a little too hard, making him hiss. “I’m no fool, Rafayel.” Somehow, he didn’t realize he was missing his dagger until he felt something sharp against his back. “If you wanted to kill me, you would’ve done so already.”

His entire body trembles in delight. Rafayel could easily twist the dagger from you and pin it against you. You could also very easily drive it into him. “You’re good,” he says breathlessly and is on you once again.

This kiss proves itself to be more intense than the last, and it makes you drop the dagger to cup his face, dragging him impossibly closer. It falls somewhere but neither of you pay it any mind as he flips you over and seats you onto his lap. You can feel how hard he is through his pants, and you grind your hips into it. Two large hands still over your thighs as you brace yourself on his shoulders. He’s so hard it almost hurts, but he doesn’t want to go further. Not until you say something.

“Give yourself to me,” you command as you try to grind into him again. You can feel him throb through both of your clothes as you chase after his heat again and again.

“At least allow me to take all this off,” he whines a little and the power that rushes through your veins is addicting. You roll your hips again. You don’t care that you’re practically seeping through your underwear and ruining his pants, not when you can feel a wet spot where his tip should be anyway. He moans and moves your body in sync with his as he rolls his dick into you. “You sure are bold for someone who’s leaking.” You give him a withering smile and say nothing while you rub your clothed clit against soaked leather.

It’s almost too much and not enough as you use him for your own pleasure and seeing your selfishness sends him reeling. His pants are too tight. Despite all the open windows and the evening wind settling over you both, it’s still impossibly hot. He slips his fingers through the band of your undergarments and you laugh as he tries to peel the damned thing off you. You can feel something rise in your core when he rips it off you, baring yourself to him. “You brute!” You laugh but get cut off with a moan when your naked core brushes against his cock. The friction hurts which only brings closer to the edge.

“Are you close?” He whispers into your ear, his voice husky.

“Please,” you beg for who knows what. He looks down to see how puffy you are and you watch his throat bob at how wet you are. You arch your back and your toes curl into the sheets. String pulled tight, you pant into his neck and bite down on whatever skin you can get your teeth on. He moans loudly, and he would be embarrassed by the fact if he hadn’t found it so pleasurable. His reaction sets you aflame when his hips stutter and then still against you, his legs weak and shaking.

You move even more frantically, leaning back to rub rapid circles around your clit as you chase after your own orgasm. Rafayel is a dazed man when he looks at how you clench around nothing, mouth slightly agape and practically drooling to get a taste. The intensity of his stare and the humiliation that comes from exposing yourself like this is almost too much.

He lazily palms himself through his pants. He’s still hard despite cumming just a few moments ago. He groans your name, your real name, and it sends you over the edge. Your entire body is set aflame and then put out with cold water. Your pulse throbs against your neck as your pussy convulses. You feel dirty but the way Rafayel looks at you makes you the most beautiful girl in the world.

Your chest heaves as you try to catch your breath, your voice hoarse. “I…” You slowly reposition yourself into a comfortable spot and look away from him in shame, but his hand cups your chin, forcing you to look at him. You gulp down your lust and guilt. This wasn’t supposed to happen.

“You were wonderful,” he says breathlessly and places a small kiss on your lips. You don’t kiss him back. There’s no regret on what you just did, but there’s a deep ache in your bones telling you that this will all end in tragedy.

It’s another step towards the abyss that you yearn for but are too scared to walk into. This life is normal, you think, it’s all you’ve ever known. Rafayel silences those thoughts with another kiss. Yes, as long as you find comfort in his warmth, then perhaps that’s all that matters. You wrap your arms around his waist, still bathing in the afterglow. “I’m sorry for pulling a knife on you,” you mumble and he laughs, shaking his head.

“I did it first,” he replies. You give him a strained smile and playfully push his chest. To be honest, you find it incredibly attractive that your life is in his hands, and with his reaction, you can tell that he feels the same way. Your mind wanders back to his story, realizing he never finished it.

“Did the knight take the heart?” You’re lying on his chest now, drawing patterns in it and admiring the sewing on his clothes. The stitches are neat.

“She did.” He’s combing through your hair with his fingers and you appreciate the slight scalp massage. You have more questions on his story, but his tone suggests that it ends there. Rafayel pulls you up onto his lap again and kisses you slowly, his lips searching for your breath. “Focus on me, Your Highness,” he whispers. You nod, acutely aware of how naked you are.

“Take off your clothes,” you command and he chuckles before taking off each layer one by one, making a small show for you. You take the time to admire his physique and face. His usual garb makes him large and unapproachable, but when you see the tips of his ears turn red, you smirk a little. You have him wrapped around your finger. Your eyes trail further and further down and you gulp as you follow his slight happy trail to the outline of his cock. You wonder if it’ll fit, and a perverse shiver of joy runs along your spine.

“You look like you’re going to eat me,” he stutters a bit.

“I might if you don’t hurry up.” You retort and shift onto your elbows, your white robe falling off your shoulder. He watches the way it catches onto your breast. Just a little more and… “I’m waiting, Rafayel.” You interrupt his gawking and cross one leg over another. A flash of your mound makes him gulp and unceremoniously removes everything else into a heap of clothes. He climbs onto the bed and steals your lips once more like a man starved. He kisses you like it’s his first and last.

The weight of his cock presses against you and you both breathe a little harder at the heat. “Are you sure about this, Princess?” He has you caged beneath him while your hands are laced behind his neck. You look down and blush at the sight.

“J-just be careful,” you reply and wiggle your hips, but he clamps them still with his legs, making you pout. “And hurry.” The head catches onto your entrance and you almost yelp if it weren’t for Rafayel silencing you.

“There’s still guards out on patrol. We wouldn’t want our dear princess tangled up with an assassin now, would we?” He inches forward and you both groan around the stretch. “You’re so tight.”

You moan out his name. His self-control wanes, but he doesn’t move until you nod your head, slowly getting used to him. Your walls ache to fit all of him inside but pain mixes with pleasure to form a tight ball in your core again. Panting, stretching, you urge him to move with a roll of your hips, making him hiss. “I’m fine,” you whisper breathlessly and place a kiss on the corner of his mouth.

It’s too hot. You think you’re going to melt. Slow thrusts somehow stretch you even more and you move your leg up to get more of him in. The noises that spill from your mouth set your face aflame as you try to control them. You can feel your orgasm rise in your body as you try to plunge yourself deeper on his cock, relishing the sting that the stretch brings in. Your nails leave angry red welts on Rafayel’s back and there’s no doubt that he’ll make fun of you for it. For now, though, he’s almost too excited at the meaning of the marks–he’s yours, forever and always.

When finally, finally, he’s pressed to the hilt, he slows down to rub the tip of his cock against you and you almost cum from the stimulation. Your eyes roll to the back of your head when he does it again and Rafayel groans at the sight. “You’re filthy, Your Highness,” he teases, but his voice reveals that he’s just as affected as you are. For what feels like forever, he continues this movement. Rolling his hips into you, his pelvis grinding against your clit, your combined juices soaking the sheets beneath you. It is positively filthy, and you wouldn’t change it for the world.

He holds you in his arms while you try to hump into him but he has his hands on your ass to stop you from moving on your own. Bringing your hips down one last time, he finally moves again at a punishing pace. You clutch his shoulders to stop yourself from falling, but you fear that it’s already too late. Your cunt aches around him as you try to hang on for dear life. The bed whines under you and you try not to think about the fact that you’re going to cum embarrassingly fast. “G-good, Rafayel, so good…!” You moan into his ear and the praise makes him shiver in delight, making you smirk as you continue to sing his praises and tug on his hair.

The scrape against your walls feels too good and he’s rubbing against that spongy part of you that has you seeing stars. “You’re so–hah! So tight,” he babbles. Rafayel is positively drunk on you as he captures your lips in a sloppy kiss, his tongue searching for yours as saliva dribbles down your chins. The squelch of your walls fills the room as you kiss heady, muffled moans into each other. His big hands are still on your ass as he moves your body in time with his thrusts. You don’t even need to think. Why would you, when all you can feel is him? Your clit rubs against him and it’s almost raw from the friction.

He’s losing himself and using your body for your own pleasure and it makes you feel filthy, but you find that you don’t really mind. Rafayel has left marks all over your neck, and you’ve left long angry red welts on his back in response. You hang onto him while he fucks into you, your thoughts only filled with his cock bruising your walls. “You’re so good,” Rafayel pants out, but you’re too far gone to hear him say it. “You’re so warm, I’ve been waiting for this, wanted this for so long, ngh…! So fucking tight!” He presses into you and stills, grinding himself into you and relishing the way your walls flutter around his cock in response. He continues thrusting after that, but slower this time as you try to catch your breath.

“Too m-much, it’s too much,” you repeat as he goes in deeper. Overstimulation is catching up to you but he can only laugh. He’s a cruel lover, you realize, as he picks up the pace despite your whining. The coil in your gut is wound tight, and it’s when he rubs that spot just right is when you finally cum. You grip him like a vice and he lets out a strangled moan as you try to swallow them with a kiss. He’s fucking you through your orgasm as he babbles and cries about how tight you are, how good you are, and how much he loves you.

“I’m gonna, gh–! Your Highness..!” He tries to pull away to not accidentally finish inside, but you smile devilishly and wrap your legs around his waist, pulling him back in. “You–!”

“It’s fine, Rafayel,” you try to say but the edges of your vision are going black from how intense the pleasure is. Your ankles lock over the other as you try to meet his thrusts with equal fervor, but the adrenaline is slowly running from your body. “If we have children, then we’ll just have to get married, right?” You manage to joke but you feel his cock twitch from it. You laugh. “O-oh god, you want that, don’t you? You want to get married? Have children?” You hiss out and smirk as you say this. “I belong to you, don’t I, Rafayel? You’ve ruined me for everyone else, so you have to take–Fuck–! responsibility.” Your toes curl as your eyes roll to the back of your head, another orgasm building. You can feel something wet on your neck and you realize what it is.

“You’re crying?” You tease him further and he lets out a pathetic whimper that sends your blood boiling. “Do you want me that bad?”

“Yesyesyes–! Princess, please,” Rafayel sobs as he bites your shoulder. “I love you, I love you, I’m yours,” he rambles, “I’ll take responsibility, ngh, I’ll do anything for you, please!” He’s rutting desperately into you, pressing into your cervix deeper and deeper until he yells your name out. It’s the first time he’s ever said it, and the shock of it sends you reeling as you milk him for all he’s worth. Heat spreads throughout your core as he finishes inside you, and there’s a deep satisfaction on your face as you relish in the feeling. He’s sniffling now, and you pat his head, whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Your body is already starting to ache now that the adrenaline is bleeding from you, and you sigh as he pulls out from you. The sight of cum leaking out of you is seared into his mind, but when he looks at your face, you’re staring out the window, seemingly unaffected.

He is laid bare before you, mind, body, and soul. Your robes, your room, your life, this beating nuisance in your chest–none of that is yours. But Rafayel, dear foolish Rafayel. Was he always this weak to love? You don't know, but you are sure of one thing. He's yours. For once in your life, you have something that wholly belongs to you.

“Did you mean everything you said?” You ask plainly, leaning your head back as you gaze upon the empty sands. Your face is unreadable.

“O-of course I did! Does Your Highness think so lowly of me…?” He tries to look at your face but you don’t bother to even turn your head as you look at him, bored. His heart falls. “Is everything alright?”

“More than fine,” you reply, tone too neutral for him to relax. “It was good.” You sound very serious.

“Just good…?”

You shrug. He frowns. Did you really mean it? “It was good,” you repeat. Your fingers trail to your leaking cunt and scoop up some of the cum, pressing your thumb and middle finger together as you watch how it strings between them. Uninterested. “We should do it again. I do not know if this is enough to get me pregnant.” You have him wrapped around your finger and you both know it. You feel for your heartbeat and wonder if you’ll ever find it. You want to ask Rafayel if he could search for it.

He looks like he’s going to cry again and you smile serenely, opening your arms to embrace him as the tears flow. A Lemurian’s tears are precious, and you realize that he might be your greatest treasure. “Would you prove your love for me, Rafayel?” You coo and place a soft kiss on his cheek. Despite the warmth between your bodies, none of it reaches your voice.

He should pull away. He should shove himself off you and tell you that you’re being ridiculous, that you’re being too cold, that he wants a response to his love. But he can’t. Rafayel isn’t brave, and so he sniffles while you soothe him, allowing himself to give in to your poison that is your kiss.

The dagger lies on the floor, and so does his heart.

Hey guys, so if you know Baldur's Gate 3 this is an AU for that with Hardenshipping but it's really fucked up. I will explain why it's fucked up below the cut.

Maxie is a High Half-Elf Warlock (his patron is Groudon), and Archie's a Human Fighter <3

Also I just realized this is the first time you have seen me draw Archie seriously lmao my bad guys I'll try to draw him again soon

I took a ton of inspiration for various things for these designs, including Guile for Archie's armor bc I love Guile sm!!

(More info and our dumb AU lore under here - No BG3 Spoilers I promise <3)

I'm going to tell you this now... this gets really fucking crazy and honest to god I know I'm going to have a hard time explaining this. It WILL be quite long and I WILL be yapping.

This AU is really just something we did on impulse and it's really fun to mess around with, so I'm hoping you all will enjoy the concept as well :)

I'll try to explain it simply as I can. I thank you in advance to all who sit here and read this ily sm if you read it all <3333

Anyways, okay so imagine how one could do a bg3 AU for these two fuckers...

And throw it right out the window because you'll never guess how me and my friend have done it.

The Backstory:

This all started when my friend decided to play BG3 for the first time, and he jokingly said to me "Should I make Maxie our main character??" and I replied "I you want, but I won't force you" and thus BG3 Maxie was created, and his misadventures began.

Now your probably wondering (if you've played the game) what about the guardian?? Who did we make the guardian?? Well, we made Archie the guardian. However, I did not know just how wild this idea would get within the next few days.

So, eventually we realized how crazy the BG3 lore actually is (it's a like fucking DnD campaign idk how we didn't realize this beforehand), and so, we jokingly started our own "AU Lore" that ties in with the BG3 Lore.

If you really want to know, I have an entire note in my notes app dedicated to keeping track of what happens. It is very long.

The Parasite:

Now, if you've played the game or know anything about it, you know about the Mindflayer parasites. Well, one fateful day, me and my friend joked that the Parasite in Maxie's head was this little freak who looks like Archie.

The two have no correlation other than looks, its completely coincidence and it's not a mimic situation. The Parasite "Archie" does nothing but talk nonsense to Maxie all the time, and initially the bit was that he only talked about Fortnite. All because I made the joke that the dream realm in game looked like a fortnite update. By now, that bit has fallen off (thank god), replaced by just general nonsense and lies.

Also he fucking looks like this:

Weird little freak. This is just one of his talk sprites I have, this is just his neutral expression.

So basically it's:

- Maxie was supposed to be on a Geology research trip, but instead he got dragged into the Parasite issue with the rest of the companions. He really just wants to get home to Archie.

I am the one who handles everything for Maxie in this AU, I do his voice, I handle his lore, etc.

- Parasite Archie is this 1 foot tall, neco arc-esque version of Archie that sits on Maxie's shoulder and tells him nonsensical things. He also says Maxie's name wrong, he says Maxie's full first name and pronounces it as "Maximilliam" instead of the "N" at the end. For Maxie it's like handling a toddler but the toddler fights back, doesn't shut up, and threatens your life. He also has a ton of his own lore that my friend continously adds on to, so I can make another post with just the parasite's part of things.

My friend handles everything with the Parasite himself, comes up with the lore, does the voice, etc. I simply keep track of it.

- The "dream visitor" version of Archie is not real either. It's linked to the Parasite in ways that if I get into it, I will spoil a good chunk of the game. Sorry. Just know you can consider this and Parasite Archie kind of as one in the same almost.

- The REAL Archie is still at home, completely unaware of what's happening, while Maxie is fighting for his life. He does miss him, though, and hopes he gets home soon. He and Maxie are only boyfriends, they haven't gotten married yet. (They also haven't been through their rivalry yet, as this all takes place before that happens.)

Sorry for the convoluted yap sesh, I just have more art planned for this stupid AU and- God I cannot possibly just post this shit with no context. Like, I'd have to explain it eventually so I might as well do it now beforehand yk 😭😭

I might do separate posts with our HCs and some silly conversations that have happened between Parasite Archie and Maxie if you guys would want that :)

Also, I do have all of the sessions from where my friend plays the game recorded and I'll be sure to post some clips of what Parasite Archie sounds like eventually, possibly with snippets of my shitty Maxie voice in there as well. You'll get to see the talk sprites in action with that, too.

#nugget's yapping again #apologies in advance to all the bg3 fans who end up seeing this shit im so sorry guys #nugget art!!#GOD THIS IS SO LONH IM SO SORRY GUYS #Parasite Archie #its official #he has his own tag now. god help us.#like i said ill make a separate post about Maxie and Parasite Archie so you can know more about them and their dynamic #hardenshipping #magma leader maxie #aqua leader archie #bg3 #bg3 au

*slides you a 20 [whatever currency you're using] bill* now tell me about how you got to ship valzhang and what you like most about it, along with your headcanons and scenarios

...please<3

THANK YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU.

Okay sorry for taking long to reply I needed to schedule 3hrs out of my day to respond to this because I have a LOT of thoughts- Valzhang was my otp LONG before Valgrace. Be prepared for a lot of caps lock, keysmashes and exited ramblings.

We are phenomenally deprived of Valzhang fanart/fanfiction and that is a CRIME. They are so fun and cute to draw next to each other because they’re just so different- I love how Leo looks SO FUNKING TINY next to Frank.

But seriously, we are lacking. I searched up “Valzhang” on Pinterest earlier and there is NO JOKE only 5 pieces of fanart on there. We need to step up our game!

I’ve already posted this, but here is some Valzhang fanart I drew a while back-

So, how did I come to become the No.1 Valzhang Defender, you ask? Well…

Reading TLH was going slowly (bc of Spotify Audiobooks and their stupid listening hours feature), but I needed to shovel content into my brain like popcorn and so by the end of the first book I’d known all the spoilers and I knew that Frank and Leo would have a rivalry- and I was already SUPER attached to Leo, so I was prepared to HATE Frank.

So imagine my absolute frustration when I read SoN and found myself absolutely falling in love with this massive softie. I tried not to, I really did, but I couldn’t help it.

So, naturally, I was COMPLETELY on board with them becoming besties.

I was also all for their rivalry because it had so much potential for Leo angst- he’s already antagonising himself because of his powers, so someone else treating him like shit would only make him feel worse- thus I have more ways to cathart my own pain through fictional characters, so either way, it was a win-win for me.

But the blossoming bromance we got from it-

Oh my gods.

I already made a post about my feelings on Valzhang and how Caleo is just a shitty re-cycled version of them, but NO WAY was that all my thoughts, so here goes (and bear in mind I am only on HoH so this isn’t even their arc as a whole):

*Clears Throat*

*Shuffles note cards*

*Clears throat again*

*Deep Breath*

1. FRANK IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF FIRE BECAUSE OF LEO!!!!! I mean HOW CUTEE IS THAT!!!!!! He thought that there was nothing worse than fire, he was terrified of it, it was his biggest weakness. And then he met this tiny annoying hyperactive boy who is the MOST UNLIKELY OF FRIENDS- And he taught him to not be afraid. Like there is a moment where his trousers are literally ON FIRE and he doesn’t freak out because Leo taught him to not be afraid anymore. AND IT’S NOT JUST BECAUSE OF THE POUCH!!!! Frank learns to trust Leo with his life- and there’s that moment in that scene where he’s faced with a choice to give him The Stick or not, and he chooses to trust Leo. He learns that fire (Leo) may seem scary and intimidating, but it can also be good and warm and wholesome and healing.

2. AND IT GOES BOTH WAYYYS!!!!! Leo was afraid of opening up to people, of letting down the mask and letting people see the real him. Sure, he did it a bit with Jason and Piper, but notice how in TLH, he only does it bc he didn’t have a choice. He used his fire powers to save them, and then Jason sort of just pieced together what happened the night Leo’s mom died. The first time he actually TELLS someone about it was when he tells Frank- someone who he thought was big and intimidating and so was putting his defences up with the jokes. To him, Frank looked just like someone who would’ve bullied him in the foster homes, he was the last person Leo thought he’d open up to. But he does, and Frank comforts him. They realise they’re not as different as they thought, and bonded over similar trauma and dead moms.

*Takes another deep breath*

3. LEO REALLY IS SO BRILLIANTLY TINY NEXT TO FRANK. IT. IS. SO. CUTE. Unlike Calypso and Leo, who were not planned out, Frank was WRITTEN to be Leo’s rival. They are exact opposites. The Yin and the Yang. The Sun and The Star (lol). They both juxtapose each other so beautifully- on the surface they contrast and clash but looking deeper they actually parallel each other but ultimately they compliment each other both in flaws and in strengths!!!! (*steadies myself on table* “Whoa, flashback to GCSE Eng Lit- using the same analysis structure. Are you proud of me, Miss Cox?”) But seriously, they initially are rivals because they look like complete opposites- tall/short, muscular/built like a twig, calm and careful/reckless and loud, animals/machines, Roman/Greek, Outwardly confident/Outwardly insecure, etc, etc.

4. But, as I said, looking deeper, they actually have a lot in common. Not just losing their moms, but Leo’s just as afraid of fire as Frank is. The only difference being that Frank’s afraid because of how it could hurt him, Leo’s afraid because of how it could hurt others, which directly contradicts Frank’s initial impression that Leo is self-centred and egotistic. Honey, that’s just an act. They’re also both very insecure, and both feel like the least useful member of the seven, and struggle to feel accepted. Because of how Leo felt threatened by Frank, he put his defences up and lashed out with his jokes, attacking Frank where he was most vulnerable, ridiculing him. They completely misjudged each other at first, and had an ANTI-meet-cute (Leo firing on New Rome) and it took a while for them to take down those walls that they’d built up, making it a lot more meaningful when they do open up.

And now we get onto specific hcs/scenarios I have, and I have a LOT of them:

1. Nico reveals to Leo that Frank’s mom is in Elysium because she gave her life in war to save others, whereas Leo’s mom is not, and instead is in Asphodel, despite all the little things she sacrificed in order to raise him, knowing he’d be important to the fate of the world. This causes a lot of resentment and jealously for Leo, as Frank has the one thing he desperately wants- a chance to see his mom again, make things right, get closure. Frank is annoyed by the fact that Leo is suddenly acting so cold and angry towards him, until Leo finally explains why.

2. Leo’s lactose-free mac n cheese is Frank’s favourite thing on earth. He has some sort of magic ingredient that makes the fake cheese not taste so plasticky, but he refuses to tell Frank what it is so Frank has to keep begging him to make it. Leo also makes it high in fibre and carbs, so it’s good workout food. Leo makes sure all his meals are Frank-Friendly.

3. I need to see them in battle together. Frank is incredibly anxious and overprotective of his tiny reckless bf/bff. Leo’s just a ball of freaking energy bouncing around going “ahahahbahjabkakdfkajkjaaa” and Frank’s like “Leo, no, those have teeth-“ He’s fine though.

4. As much as Frank acts like he hates Leo, he would risk his life for him in a heartbeat. I imagine Leo gets injured in battle and Frank drops whatever he’s doing and just fucking RUNS to help him. I can vividly picture him transforming into an elephant and scooping an unconscious Leo up in his trunk, and carrying him over to the medic tent. Yes, he’s currently being fired on by so many enemies, but nothing matters except getting Leo to safety.

5. Frank helps Leo with his machines. He can turn into small animals and get into tiny spaces, and he can become desert creatures, so the heat in the engine room doesn’t bother him.

6. Frank often finds Leo asleep on top of his blueprints, his welders-goggles askew, and he turns into a cat and curls up next to him to keep him company.

7. Also, when Leo skips meals because he’s spent too long working and he’s lost track of time, Frank makes sure to bring him food and water and his ADHD meds… and then he asks him to make him some mac n cheese.

8. Frank knows about PTSD from seeing his mom and her military friends, and so is often there to comfort Leo when he has flashbacks to the night his mom died, or one of the other miserable things that happened in his childhood.

9. All the things that used to freak Frank out about Leo (Leo making fun of his insecurities, Leo’s fire, the whole Sammy thing-) they are now 100% comfortable joking about together. Before, Frank would get upset when Leo ridiculed him, but now Leo does it as a sign of affection rather than as self-defence, and Frank can tell the difference. It is their love language.

10. When I write fanfiction, I often write important scenes when I think of them, and then write around them. Sometimes, it’s just one or two lines, for example I found this in my notes app the other day:

“I hate Hera,” Leo said, “She yeeted my dad off a cliff.”

“Yote,” Frank corrected.

And I had nothing written around it, nowhere to put it, it was just lying there. Anyway, that was important to share.

11. Also, I have this:

“I’m hugging you now,” Frank said, pulling Leo into an embrace and squeezing him tight.

“O- Okay, big guy,” Leo said, his voice muffled in Frank’s chest. His tiny body was practically swallowed in Frank’s bear-hug. He squirmed and fought and wriggled, but his weakling arms worked about as well as spaghetti against Frank’s brick-like build.

“No,” Frank insisted, “I will smother you with love and affection.”

“Get. Off.”

“No.”

“Let go of me, Zhang, or I’ll burn you.”

Frank let go. Leo rubbed his bruised arms.

12. I ship them platonically, but the joke-flirting is 1000% a thing they do. Hazel is the main pedaler of this, and often introduces them as “My boyfriend Frank, and Frank’s boyfriend Leo.”

13. Frank reluctantly admits to Leo that he likes Taylor Swift. Leo is obvs a swiftie, so absolutely goes MENTAL at this news, ofc ridicules him mercilessly for it, despite how hypocritical it makes him look (“This is not about me!”), but still insists they sit down with Hazel and make friendship bracelets (Frank no longer has the heart to tell him that he wasn’t actually a huge fan, just had a couple of her albums and liked her songs, unlike Leo who knows every word to every song, all the lore behind it, and Tay’s favourite colour, star sign, and shoe size.) AND I KNOW I HEADCANNON EVERYONE AS A SWIFTIE SHUT UP LET ME PROJECT.

14. Frank buys Leo fidget toys he think’s he’ll like. Sure, Leo can make his own, but it’s the sentiment that counts.

15. And they stay friends after the War. Frank frequently visits from New Rome University. They have long iris messages where they gossip and talk shit.

16. Leo becomes godfather to Frazel’s children. Absolutely SPOILS THEM ROTTEN (I also have a shit-tonne of hcs about Leo babysitting Percabeth’s kids, so lmk if you’d like to hear that.) Will visit the Zhang-Levesque household on the weekends, makes the kids gifts, teaches them how to safely use a fire extinguisher, helps them prank their dad.

17. I know Jason is meant to be Leo’s best friend BUT if Valgrace was cannon then that would leave room for Frank to be the BFF. NO BUT, YOUR HONOUR, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND- They started out hating each other, but then became INSEPARABLE once they took the time to get to know each other and realised they were actually really cool people. It’s not enough for them to be friends, they need to be BEST FRIENDS. They need to be their ONE AND ONLY. They need to knock on each other’s cabin doors on the Argo II at 3am and have long discussions about Their Feelings. They need to be 100% comfortable with each other and tell each other everything. Yes, Leo is annoying but he is Frank’s annoyance. Yes, Frank is a goof but he’s Leo’s goof. BEST. FRIENDS.

They’re just such an unlikely pairing, I love them sm.

Thank you for sticking with me, I will not apologise for my ramblings, you were warned, but if you did make it to the end, here, have a sweet 🍬 You are clearly just as dedicated a Valzhang stan as I am (It is currently 00:54am where I live)

I will probably have a lot more Thoughts and Feelings coming your way soon, so don’t think for a second that I’ve got it all out of my system. I still haven’t finished the series yet, and I know that as soon as I post this I’ll think of something else that I should’ve added, but I hope this was enough for now.

(Also, I’m British, so I’d use a £20 (“twenty pound”) Note, in case you were curious.)

Again, thank you so much annon for the Ask- as you can see, I LOVE VALZHANG.
