#and a hint as to what is planned but isnt said ;)

[mina-org]

part one - part two - part three - part four - part five you're reading part six!!

Seriously? Fuck this shit

You can’t move the frown, it’s stuck to you. What were you supposed to do? you had refused to go out with sabre because you didn’t have any money and now no electricity, your phones dead, you can’t even text him:(

Soon enough the clock strikes 12, a knock echoes through your apartment.

sabre is here and he’s gonna think you’re an idiot!

This is a great start, perfect.

Before you can unlock the door he’s letting himself in, “love you gotta keep the spare in a better place, ya lucky it’s just me.” Soon enough his shoulders are brushing past yours, heading to the kitchen.

“I picked up some food for us lovie, didn’t want ya cooking for me ‘nd hosting,” everything he does is so natural, it’s like he’s been here before and he’s not said anything about the electric situation, maybe because it’s daylight so he’s not noticed? Maybe it’s because the windows let enough light in? But you haven’t messaged him, he’s probably thinking you’re rude and now you’re being completely silent.

"im really sorry for not texting or anything, my electric isnt on and my phone is dead." you blurt out fast, your chest tightens a little, scared of his judgement, first you cant pay for coffee and now you asked him to come over and it looks like you didn't pay your electric:(

"its alright lovie, just gotta light some candles, it'll add to the mood 'nd add to the mood." he coaxes a nod out of you and you're meet with a smile. "good, now lovie I got a portable charger in the car, can get it for ya? dont want you ignoring me too much alright? and you dish out the food for us, yeah?"

"yes please, that'll be great." you soon return his smile, looking up at him! its perfect, he loves a damsel, especially one in distress(ignoring the fact he and his bros are the reason for it but thats none of your business)

Kyle searches through his car and puts his phone on mute, and changes Simon's name on his phone, doesnt want you to see Johnny simon, and price on his phone and put one and one together. the thought of johnny's tech fumble still gives him a giggle. that man hides his intelligence so, so well.

soon enough hes back upstairs, placing the charging brick on a side table before wrapping his arms around you, bringing into his chest and snapping a picture, "it'll be good for a scrapbook love, 'nd I wanna show off my pretty girl to my friends." he informs you and usually you'd protest but sabre was a breathe of fresh air, he was everything you wanted in simon and you didnt have to beg for it.

soon enough tea light candles are scattered across the table, charting out the new constellations that'll shine over you sabre, no, no, no.

You're getting ahead of yourself, you've known sabre for like 30 minutes? can't plan your wedding right now, when he goes home though? free range!!!

"so um, I thought we could like do a little painting dating, I grabbed a couple of canvases and stuff."

"great! I see this stuff all over 'nd I never 'ad anyone to do it with." sabre responds eagerly, he settles into his seat

"what are ya gonna paint?"

"not sure yet" you stare at the colours and suddenly you've never seen anything before.

"have ya seen the hand one? like we both have a colour and than I press my hand on the canvas 'nd than you do it over mine" he suggests.

do you just wanna compare hand size? you tilt your head to the side.

"yeah, but this way ill have a painting for when ya busy, unless youre willing to give me a hand, love?" he nods, admitting it with a laugh, you notices theres a hint of embarrassment, "'m a clingy bugger love, hope that's alright."

you nod at his words, "me too" you say simply and sabre starts picking out colours.

"you wanna be purple love, 'nd I can be green?" you nod and sabre is soon tugging up his sleeve and passing over his hand for you to paint.

you hold his hand so gently, he can't remember the last time he was held so delicately. the mix of the sensation of bristles and cold paint sends a shiver down his spine but you hold him steady and the scent he had smelt on simon and lingered in his flat it's suddenly flooded him, moorish caramel and rich vanilla, he wants to take a bite out of you.

his hand is soon covered in the pistachio green paint and moving to press down on the canvas.

now its your turn, but sabre is already tugging your sleeve up and a gently but firm hand brushes a layer of lavender over your own hand, you and sabre chat about everything and anything, his thumb gently rubs up and down.

soon enough the painting is done and sabre's got his phone out and taking pictures of you and the creation, saying he'll post it. little do you know he's sending it to simon who's spiralling because what the fuck? you always sent those sappy videos to him and now youre doing them, with Kyle:( not him. sickening. blood rises and he wants to grab Kyle out of your flat and take back his place.

sharing has never been Simons strong point.

So, it’s been in my head for quite a while… but… I feel even worse for Catnap after the whole “revelation” from ch 4 of 1006 being Ollie, cause it just makes CN’s situation even sadder.

Like we have "Ollie" warning us about how much of a "monster" Catnap is and how dangerous it is to be in Playcare cause of it... But I wonder now if he actually was just brainwashing us into thinking that Catnap was a devil just so we would be on edge all the time? Dont get me wrong, I am not saying that CN wasnt dangerous, but we barely see him during all the chapter, just once inside the house that, we dont know if it was just an hallucination like the Huggy from the TV, then we see him when he pushes us destroying the mask but didnt harm us past that, just letting us there, then we see him on his shrine, and, after the mini critters and Dogday encounter, briefly when he warn us to leave (IF it was him and not the Prototype trying to lure us). Finally we see him a last time in the confrontation at the end. We dont know for sure if he is even stalking us. Just that he is aware where we are (and that could more possibly have to do with the Prototype than Catnap himself)

And I know some people will try to add Dogday's dialogue in the mix... But considering the recent info, how much if what he said actually happened? Or what if he ended up there because they found out he wasnt actually loyal to 1006? And how do we even know if Catnap is related to any of the deaths of the SC? But going back on track... Now knowing that the Prototype has been the one luring us, and tricking us... How much did he plan ahead? And, if his dialogue says something... Then does it mean that he never even cared for Catnap, his most loyal servant, even a little? At the end is all about him and Poppy isnt it? Like, have you stop thinking, how messed up that Theo, the kid that almost died for his "friend/god", Catnap, the one that was indoctrinated/gr00med into following blinded the Prototype (just like you claim Poppy was by "Ollie"), Catnap that was hinted to yave been a loner with a soft spot for other toys, tortured by the assholes workers like many other toys, was just "another" piece that could be discarded? Damn, that is really sad.

And, just a slight note: the why I address Catnap instead of, lets say, Mommy Long Legs, is cause she didnt seem to be attached to the Prototype, it mostly was her wanting to be free and, following the Prototype to not "be a part of him" so those are different situations. And no, this isn’t also to throw shade to the doggo or trying to excuse CN’s actions, it’s just me overthinking at an inhumane late hour xD thnks for read.

Btw! The one in the draw is player, wanted to make em not the average doll but neither that much ott personalized so fair warning xD

[priyajoyy]

do you have any more hc of bunny and the others precrash

esp with her anxiety and how the team help

Ofcc!! Just wrote these on the train because I had some ideas

Hope you like what I’ve come up with <3

I’ve focused mainly on Lottie, Nat, Shauna and van but all the girls are aware and help where they can

Bunny anxiety hcs

🐇 Lottie is always on top of bunny’s medication

🎀 their schedules for taking meds are basically the same so she’s always keeping on top of when bunny needs to take them and making sure she does

🍸 she’s one of bunny’s closest friends and who bunny opens up to about her issues the most given they can bond about it

🎟️ she’s always one of the first ones on her when somethings wrong

🎻 she got bunny a bracelet that she wears every day to fiddle with if she gets anxious to try help her with picking at her nails

🛵 and she’s always offering up her hands for bunny to hold

🧸 all the girls are aware of and helpful with bunny’s anxiety

🍓 but Shauna, van, Lottie and Nat are the most aware of it all

🎧 bunny doesn’t like when stuff goes against plan

🪵 Shauna is the best at trying to keep bunny’s schedule the same

💌 she’ll join her inbetween lessons on the same days each week and is hyper aware that she’s never late to meeting bunny so bunny doesn’t stress

🍰 she’s alwaysssss early to pick her up in the morning or meet up for plans

🎫 she’s very big on holding bunny’s hands

🕯️even more so than Lottie

⚰️ always letting her fiddle with her fingers or touch her somehow to keep her grounded and distract her from tearing up her own fingers instead

🧚🏻 I can also see her scrapbooking with bunny constantly

💅 both of them on the floor of bunny’s bedroom with journals and paper surrounding them while bunny meticulously documents and plans her life and Shauna rages in her journal

👒 Shauna will never do much special in hers and bunny will force her to add stickers and pretty paper to it to make it all pretty

👛 (bunny definitely has millions of stickers she’s collected over the years but doesn’t use any of them unless she has duplicates because she’s terrified of wasting them)

🎞️ Natalie prefers to help out silently

⭐️ she’s more of an observer and we already know she keeps bunny at arms lengths before the crash so she’ll not do much that bunny’s actually aware of

🍒 but she’s the first to try calm the girl down if she has a panic attack, or quietly hint at her to remember her medicine

🕊️ and if anyone ever questions it, she’ll play it off as nothing

🧁 she just wanted to get on with the soccer game and can’t do that fi bunny is freaking out it doesn’t mean anything???

☕️ she’s also so so sweet with her when she knows she’s stressed

🪽she’s so good at working out bunny’s tells and realising if somethings wrong and she’s quick to adjust to it without it being too noticeable

🩰 she has a softer voice with bunny than anyone else especially during these times

🧺 and she keeps everyone quiet to keep bunny calm and plays it off as just having a headache and wanting everyone to shut the fuck up

🍨her main way of helping is offering bunny a cigarette or a lighter to light one

🍪 she doesn’t have to speak to her but she knows she’s helping her destress (even if it’s not the best method though who is Nat to judge)

🍦 and no one can make a big deal about it cause, it’s just a cigarette?

📺 van isnt as naturally as good with dealing with bunny’s problems and anxiety as the others are

🥞 she’s leant how to help her and knows the basic stuff but she’s tends to get pretty stressed out about it and panics

🦢 that being said she definitely tries to help

🪷 she’s the best at distracting her, making her laugh and chatting to her about other things while she’s having panic attacks

🍒 but van gets a lot better once they’re in the wilderness because there’s not as many others to help bunny out instead

🍥 plus she’s off her meds and in a very stressful situation so her anxiety is a lot worse

🐏 so she knows she needs to because bunny needs it and she wants to help her friend

[my-my-my]

I don't know what the hell happened, anon, but I lost your request 😭, but thankfully I saved it in my word document!

Request: Hii! (english isnt my first language) I discovered you while in search of bleach ff and oh my god you best believe that i binge read every single one of them. And in your ruled you had said that you would write for ichigo if he's an adult in accordance to the timeline.

So if its okay with you can i request for husband Ichigo! With a bit chubby reader.ichigo having a thing for breeding, and now their child 6-7 (I'll let you specify the gender) and seeing his kid playing by himself in his room just did something to him,so reader is in for a long night, mostly soft love making was what i was hoping for if it's okay with you

If you're not comfortable with this then you don't have to write it, or if it's too specific you can write it your own way!! My man ichigo needs more fanfictions 😭😭

Summary: The rare times Ichigo has to travel for work, leaves him missing his family terribly. This return home was no exception.

CW: MDNI! Adult Ichigo, breeding.

Ichigo’s work afforded him the comfort and privilege to work from home, but every so often, he was asked to visit a publishing house, conference, or something, that would take him away from home. And they would be long events, which was one of the few frustrating things about his job.

But he did love coming back home and seeing the two of you, and today was no exception. Ichigo smiled at the passing scenery as he made his way home from the airport. Ichigo wasn’t particularly good at planning surprises, but he had given you a much later arrival time. He wanted to surprise you at home.

The taxi dropped him off in front of his house, with blooming flowers greeting him. Even though it was only two weeks that had passed, the flowers you had planted had already begun to bloom. Ichigo didn’t have much of a green thumb, but he and your child were adamant on helping.

He fished for his keys, unlocking the door, and he could hear the two of you laughing about something. Ichigo quietly closed the door and crept upstairs to the playroom.

He watched in amusement as he heard his child rambling a nonsensical story, but you held on to every word, asking them questions. They would pick up toys and reenact scenes, as you played along with them. The two of you were lost in your own bubble, unaware of Ichigo watching in amusement.

“Can I join in on this story too?” Ichigo asked, a hint of laughter in his voice. Before he could even react, he saw a whirlwind of hair and a shriek before his child clung on to his leg.

“When did you come in?!” You asked, “I was going to get you!” Ichigo bent down and picked up his child, holding them comfortably in his arms.

“I might’ve lied,” Ichigo chuckled, “I wanted to come home early and surprise you guys.” Bending down and kissing you on the forehead.

“Gross, daddy!” The two of you laughed as your child scrambled out of Ichigo’s arms.

“You must be exhausted,” you murmured, kissing Ichigo softly on the lips. Your child was off playing with another toy, unaware. “Why don’t you take a nap, I’ll make us some dinner.”

Ichigo grabbed your hand, pulling you into an embrace, “nah, why don’t we order in?” He squeezed your body firmly. You nodded into his chest, feeling a sense of calm at his presence. It might have been two weeks, but his absence felt so much longer for you.

Dinner was a quick affair, as you watched in amusement as Ichigo and your child argued over dinner. Ramen or sushi was the debate, and unfortunately for Ichigo, ramen was the winner. You looked at the two of them in enjoyment as they competed on who can slurp their noodles the fastest.

The soft, dimming light of your kitchen table, the laughter in the room, the warm air, it made you feel content. You never knew parenthood would bring you this feeling, but watching Ichigo wipe the mess off his child’s face and help feed them, it made your heart flutter.

“I’m full.” Your child exclaimed, pushing away their bowl. You laughed at Ichigo’s reaction.

“Ok, ok. Let daddy finish his dinner. I’ll help you clean up.” Your child gleefully smiled as you helped them out of their seat. Ichigo watched tenderly as you cleaned your child’s face, the way your face lit up into a soft smile as you took gentle care of them.

“Let me finish up here, and I’ll read you a bedtime story.” Ichigo smiled. “Why don’t you pick out a book for me?” Your child’s eyes shone brightly at the suggestion.

“But you have to brush your teeth first! You know the rules.” You chided. You held their hand as you helped them get ready for their bedtime routine.

Ichigo loved hearing your soft, hushed voice when you spoke to your child. It wasn’t one filled with fear or whimpering, but a quiet confidence. Your voice was a calming wave to the both of them. So if it were any other night, he would have gladly listened to you read your child to sleep, but tonight he would do it. He held the worn-out book, it’s corners soft and faded, as he read. It didn’t take too long for your child to fall asleep.

And like clockwork, his body ached for you and the bed, almost as if a rope was pulling him to the bedroom. You had finished your own nighttime routine and were about to get into bed, when Ichigo wrapped his arms tightly around you.

“You missed me that much?” Your muffled voice asked, face implanted on Ichigo’s firm chest.

“You have no idea” Ichigo murmured into your hair. “Coming home” he drawled, his embrace tightening, “and seeing you be a natural at this…”

You lifted your face up from his chest, giving a confused look.

Ichigo’s face turned red, “it’s been a lonely few weeks” he admitted, bashfully.

You cupped Ichigo’s face and reached up to kiss him softly. The man was passionate, intense and dedicated in all areas of his life, and the bedroom was no exception, but you felt something different tonight.

There was a quiet sense of calm in the air. Ichigo picked you up, gently laying you on the bed. He took off his shirt before pulling yours off. Ichigo’s eyes were focused as he pulled your underwear off you, leaving you naked and bare on the bedsheets, the slightly cold air hardening your nipples.

He softly pushed your legs apart, seating himself in between. His warm breath tickled all over your body as he placed kisses on every expanse of skin he could touch. Ichigo savoured your body, as if he was famished and starving, the recent meal gone from his memory. You moaned his name quietly as suckled on your nipple, gently rubbing its twin with the pads of his fingers.

Your pussy felt slicker with every touch Ichigo placed on you. Your eyes cloudy with tears and pleasure as his familiar touches left you wanton and panting.

“Ichigo, please,” you whispered harshly, as his hand spread your wet pussy lips apart. Your clit was aching to be touched but Ichigo watched in amusement as you squirmed underneath him.

“I love seeing you like this.” He gave you a deep kiss, pushing his tongue into your mouth. You whimpered as you felt the faintest hint of a touch along your clit. He pulled away, his attention drawn back to your breasts as he suckled on them contently while he pushed a finger inside you.

You moaned softly into your first as Ichigo began to finger you, yet still your clit ached. His fingers were full, a familiar stretch that filled you out, but your body needed more of him. “Please, Ichigo!” You cried, “I need more.”

Ichigo gave you a tender smile, kissing your forehead as his thumb pushed up on your clit. “This, right?” You nodded eagerly as he circled your clit, but he pulled his fingers out of your sopping wet cunt. “Or maybe you want something else?”

He quickly shoved his pants off, his erection dripping with precum. He gently tapped the head of his cock against your clit before pushing himself deep inside you. Ichigo hissed your name as your tight pussy squeezed around him.

You rolled your eyes as his thick cock filled you. You panted his name as he began to move. Slow, steady strokes, his hips rolling firmly as you squeezed around him. Ichigo cupped your face, kissing you as he angled his hips, pushing his cock deeper inside you. Your moans and cries were swallowed by his kisses as he moved his body against you.

But two weeks was apparently a long time for his body. Your body squeezed around him tighter, as Ichigo scrunched his face, knowing he was close. He brought his hand back to your aching clit, throwing you into a frenzy. You swore you could see stars as your orgasm crashed, and with it, the tightening squeeze of your pussy.

Ichigo groaned into your ear as stilled his body on top of you, his thick cum filling your pussy. The two of you panted as you struggled to catch your breaths. You couldn’t help but whine at the loss of his softening cock as he pulled himself out of you. But a satisfied smile graced his face as he saw a trick of his cum leak out.

“Gimme a few more hours,” Ichigo grumbled, as he crashed next to you on the bed. “I don’t think your pussy hasn’t been filled enough.” He mumbled, pulling you next to him.

You laughed quietly, the trickling sensation of his cum and your juices lingered on your aching thighs. “You’re a terrible liar.” You teased him, “but I missed you, so I’ll let it slide,” kissing him on the lips. Your pussy throbbed at the thought of the rest of the night to come.

Thank you for your request anon! I feel so rusty writing smut 😭 second time writing adult!Ichigo, he's a bit tricky for me to write, but I hope you enjoy this!!

—⋆𐙚₊˚⊹ THEORY TIME : Crowley Summoned Yuu ?! ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Before I begin, I’d like to give credit to @cheshiresaf on TikTok for inspiring this theory! Seeing their thoughts on the matter made me want to dive into the topic myself and give my own thoughts and opinions on the matter !

Reminders, this is all just speculation ! I have no concrete proof of any of this being canon in the slightest ! This is just a theory to make some sense of things, or atleast try to.

This theory will be cut into two parts, one focusing on the Opening scene and the second focusing on the Prologue.

Without further ado, lets begin !

Ever since I first downloaded TWST, the opening scene always bothered me. It was never really the scene itself, it was the fact that it was never brought up in the game afterwards.

The closest thing we get to a character acknowledging what happened was Yuu mentioning to Crowley how they remember “Seeing a horse with a scary face” / “Passing through a dark forest” in the prologue.

But after that, its never really brought up again. I had always wondered, ‘Why?’

I waited, played through the game wondering if it would ever be mentioned— But it never was.

Eventually, even I forgot about it. But after seeing that theory on TikTok, my curiosity flared up again.

Now, I was finally able to redownload TWST since I recently just got a new phone. So, I paid much closer attention to the opening scene.

—₊˚⊹ Part One : The Opening “Mirror” Scene.

Ill be talking about these two shots of dialogue first. What interests me is the way Crowley is speaking. Although you can obviously tell it is Crowley, it isnt seem as playful nor as dramatic as he usually speaks. He spoke somewhat more seriously than usual here, and, it seems like hes speaking directly into the mirror— or, more specifically, he is speaking directly to us, as Yuu.

With no one else in the room, Crowley speaks without his dramatic flair, with no room for playfulness. He speaks directly into the dark mirror— speaks directly to the person behind it. The person he knows hes talking to. The one hes trying to summon.

The definition of “Benefactor” is a person who gives money or other help to a person or cause.

Though, its pretty well known that Yuu is always helping around NRC (whether by will or not) and Crowley is almost always the one to take advantage of this— I doubt that is what he is referring to.

No, Crowley knows something. This was all on purpose, Yuu coming to Twisted Wonderland, to Night Raven, it was all on purpose. Ill research more into Crowley later, but for now lets focus on whats being said in the opening scene.

He definetly has plans, and he knows Yuu has more capabilities than what is known so far.

What interested me the most, though, is the wording right after referring to us as his “esteemed benefactor”.

“My proud, beautiful flower of evil”. This one sentence truly had me thinking, because what did he mean by this?

Well, the only thing I could think of is the vague hint that Yuu is much, much more than they seem. When you think about it, Yuu is strange in many ways. Not only do they come from another universe entirely, they get dreams of the past which warn them of future events— directly parelleling Levan/Revan (Malleus’ father).

I wouldnt be surprised if it somehow turned out that Yuu has either had magic this entire time and it just being hidden from everyone in the cast (including themselves), or theyve been absorbing the magic of people around them after being exposed to so much magic, especially from the overblots.

What im thinking, is that the true nature of Yuu and their capabilities is yet to be revealed, and will “bloom”. Just like a proud flower. And, flowers need to be nurtured to bloom ever so beautifully, do they not? Who would be a better fit than Crowley?

Now, Crowley may be somewhat immature and unreliable— But that does not make him stupid, nor does that make him oblivious. Many of the staff respect him greatly, and its a no-brainer that he must be quite powerful. He definetly knows more than he leads on, hes extremely mysterious despite being the first character (after Grim,) to be introduced to us.

Its clear to me that he knows what hes doing. He has plans, whether for better or for worse, and i think its safe to say that those plans include Yuu in some way. Perhaps theyre the final piece of the puzzle Crowley so desperately needs. ← keep that in mind. Hes desperate.

(As for the “evil” part… Man idk leave me alone)

“O magic mirror, thy wisdom I entreat…”

Remember what i said earlier? About Crowley being desperate? Dire, even?

Well, the definition of Entreat is to plead with especially in order to persuade. ask someone earnestly or anxiously to do something.

He is earnestly, pleading the Dark Mirror for answers, for wisdom regarding the “Visage he seeks”.

“Reveal onto me the visage I seek…” Once more, this further proves that Crowley is speaking and seeking out someone specifically. He is seeking out the visage, the face and appearance of the benefactor he is requesting for.

“You, whose image the Dark Mirror did beckon forth…”

Here, Crowley once again speaks directly to us/Yuu. Later on in the Prologue, when the Dark Mirror states that no dorm could possibly suit us/Yuu because our soul is “empty and colorless” due to the lack of magic, Crowley objects, saying that its impossible for the Dark Mirror to summon a student without any magic, as the system has never once erred from the beginning of NRC being established.

(Crowley ure not slick i know what u are)

So, in NRC’s 100 years of being established, why would it’s seemingly very stable system of retrieving students fail? How would the Black Carraige retrieve a student from an entire different universe, putting aside the simple fact of Yuu not having magic? Well, its simple.

The Dark Mirror did not summon Yuu. Crowley did.

Crowley was the one to bring Yuu into this world. The Dark Mirror did not beckon forth Yuu for the sake of the school, rather it was because Crowley requested for it, for whatever reasons he has.

(Alright, now this is where i will be getting into some delusional territory but i will try to remain as logical as possbile pls have mercy on me ໒꒰ྀིっ⸝⸝⸝ ꒱ྀི১)

This scene has always bothered me. Not in like, an uncomfortable way— but ever since first downloading the game, I have always wondered what this scene meant.

“If your heart bids it, take the hand of the one reflected in the mirror.”

Although Crowley is obviously the one summoning us— it is not his hand extended out to us. Rather, it is one of the characters we meet later on. (The sleeves are quite obviously the ceremonial robes, too)

To take the hand of the one reflected into the mirror… Why is that? Why do we need to take someone’s hand? And, furthermore— the hand of a specific character? Though it is a clever way to introduce the cast of characters and give us our first card of our chosen character— why this way if it doesn’t have any significance in the game other than to serve as a “baby’s first card!” scene? We already have the later free gacha, so what was the point?

(I may be overthinking this guys someone help me)

Ive always been curious, since the game never seems to mention this part, and in none of the mangas they have never shown this, either. So, whats the purpose of it?

My guess is that Crowley himself cant summon us himself. Though Crowley must be powerful— summoning someone from an entirely different universe must be difficult, almost impossible seeing as this has probably never happened before.

See, no matter who you are or how poweful you are, I have no doubt summoning someone from a different universe is an incredibly strenuous feat that near no one average could ever do. To break past the bonds of reality, and peer into another, that is something that is beyond imaginiation.

So, what if us taking the hand of our chosen character was the last nail in the coffin for us? The last thing needed for us to be brought into Twisted Wonderland.

To establish a connection.

“If your heart bids it,” why else would you take the hand of a complete stranger? One that mysteriously appeared before you in an extremely strange situation, you can’t even see their face in this scene. Yet, we still take their hand. Why? I couldn’t think of any other explanation other than an already existing connection between us and the character that we chose. Why else would your heart tell you to trust?

Now, i have absolutely zero proof of this being true, its mostly just a little guess, a situation i like to daydream about but hey, its better than nothing.

Anyways, what if Crowley needed the assistance of one of the characters to finally bring us into Twisted Wonderland? Yes, as i mentioned before he is alone in the room when speaking to us— but perhaps theres some ‘magical’ explanation to the figures of our beloved characters standing before us and not Crowley himself, despite him actually being there.

My guess is, that Yuu and whoever they chose have a strange connection. And i dont exactly mean this as strictly romantic, it could be platonic or hell, even more than both of those bonds (maybe even hatred LMAO)— but im talking about a bond and a connection that somehow transcends the borders of realities and their universe itself. They would not be aware of this— neither would Yuu. But it is there. Perhaps its a kind of “soulmate” situation (once again, i do not mean this strictly romantically, you may interpret this however you please!!)

This furthers my suspicions that Yuu needs that connection with your chosen character in order to be brought into their world.

The sound of dragging chains could be somewhat like symbolism or a physical embodiment for Yuu being tied down to their original world. A last effort of their universe to keep them there, but yet Yuu fights against them and is “freed” from those chains after taking the hand of our chosen character.

Only when you take the hand of the character you chose are you able to start the game, both literally and figuratively. (I like to imagine the characters js pull Yuu in after they take their hand i think its funny HAHAHAHA)

The mirrors and coffins at NRC are used as gateways. But it seems Yuu is the only one who needed that extra help to actually be sent into NRC through said gateways. Yuu needs that law-defying, reality bending connection with one of the characters to be able to even step foot into their world. And honestly? I think its super cute HEHEHEE🤭 (fanfic writers, feel free to use this i live to serve content)

(Unfortunately, I have hit the photo limit here. So, I’ll have to settle for typing out all the dialog for the lasst few screenshots ! So please bare with me ૮꒰ྀི⊃⸝ ⸝ ⸝⊂꒱ྀིა !)

────୨ৎ────

“As flame reduces even the stars to ash

As ice seals away even time itself

As great trees swallow even the sky

Fear not the power of darkness.

Now— demonstrate your power.”

────୨ৎ────

In the next views of dialogue, Crowley is obviously foreshadowing to the kinds of magic the player will have to get used to during battle scenes— but what interests me is the very last part of the dialog. The last thing Crowley says before the mirror brightly flashes and the game sends us into our first battle against the overblot Grim.

“Now— demonstrate your power.”

Yuu is magicless, so what power could he be referring to? This could be taken both literally and figuratively, as “power” is not only strength, it can come in many forms, and Yuu has obviously shown to be quite cunning themself, and that could be considered a power.

But, what if Yuu DOES have powers, in a literal sense? What if that power has been secretly sleeping inside of Yuu this entire time, waiting for the right moment to burst forth and bloom like a flower? Their power could be much more than just being a peacemaker or a beast tamer, who knows?

────୨ৎ────

“To me. To them. To yourself.

The hour grows long and time is scarce.”

“Keep steady your grip, no matter what may come…”

────୨ৎ────

This final piece of dialog paired with the earlier “As ice seals away even time itself” statement from when Crowley was speaking of the elemental forms of magic, it really does feel like its hinting at a time loop.

Perhaps that is why Crowley had summoned them, and why he seems to not be even trying to look for a way to send them home. Not just because hes “lazy”, but he very well may have a plan for Yuu. He is purposefully trying to keep Yuu in NRC.

Maybe he is aware of this timeloop, and out of desperation seeks out the wisdom of the Dark Mirror, trying to find a way to put a stop to it— and who better than Yuu to be that final piece he needs? His dear, esteemed benefactor… His fair, beautiful flower ready to be extorted for whatever purpose he had summoned them for.

Nothing is a coincidence. Everything happens for a purpose, good or bad. And Yuu just happens to be in the middle of every messy situation that happens at NRC.

“For them”, who is “them”? The one whose hand we took? Or perhaps the friends we meet later on? Whatever i means, its obvious theres a certain danger lurking in the shadows that has not made itself known. Atleast, not yet. And for some odd reason, it is up to us to “show our power” and keep it from happening. (If it has something to do with Grim, maybe that “Beast Tamer” title was hinting to that all along lol)

“Time is scarce.” An absolutely chilling line that is never really explained. Time has always been an element that seemed infinite, yet in some cases thats still too little. Time is something no one can have enough of, no matter who they are. Yet what does it mean in this context? Why is our time running out, and furthermore what are we trying to prevent? For Crowley? For them, for our friends… And for us? I’m sure Crowley himself must know, if he didn’t why would he be asking the universe to bring him a helper so desperately?

“Keep steady tour grip, no matter what may come…” This, paired along with the earlier dialog of “Fear not the power of darkness,” could be foreshadowing the later overblots that we face in the game. Crowley knows that we will face hardships, and says to keep steady our grip. To not let the darkness consume us or our friends. To not fear the “darkness“. Crowley could be aware of the challenges we are to face, not even bothering to help in the midst of Riddle’s overblot (very responsible of you, Headmaster). Almost as if he expected it?

That is the final line of dialog from Crowley before the Prologue actually begins.

And now, speaking of the prologue, lets talk about some dialog from Crowley in the actual prologue!

—₊˚⊹ Part Two : The Prologue

“Ah, I’ve found you at last. Splendid.”

Crowley’s wording here, “I found you at last.” Is pretty sus, he speaks like hes been keeping out an eye for a specific someone. And the fact that he went out of his way to find Yuu is also pretty telling. After all, from what we know of Crowley its obvious that hes not the type to do that kind of thing. If Yuu was just any other student, Im sure Crowley wouldn’t have gone out of his way to look for them for the sake of the ceremony.

Furthermore, judging by his tone and expression, he doesn’t seem very surprised to find a student where they aren’t supposed to be. Yet he playfully mentions that most other students usually wait for him to open the lids of their caskets before running off. Making Yuu differ from the rest of the student body once more.

Later on in the prologue, we have the infamous “Deuce throwing Ace at the chandelier” scene. (I giggle everytime I hear Ace’s scream. Its so funny i cant)

When Crowley comes over and discovers that our little group had broken the chandelier and expels us, Ace tries to reason with Crowley saying that surely, he must be able to fix the chandelier himself with some fancy pants magic.

“Even magic has its limits.”

If Crowley can’t fix a magical chandelier without it having any circumstances— Then surely there must be some very… Specific conditions when summoning a person, let alone one from another universe.

Magic itself is limited in certain scenarios. Later on, Deuce mentions that if you can’t strongly visualize your magic, it isn’t going to happen.

Which must be why Crowley went to the Dark Mirror for wisdom. “Reveal onto me the visage I seek,”

It could be that Crowley himself didn’t exactly know what form or appearance his dear benefactor would take, and because of that could not properly ‘visualize’ who he is seeking out. Out of desperation, he seeks out the Dark Mirror for wisdom to finally be able to summon this benefactor he desires so greatly, and it just so happens Yuu fits that role perfectly.

After the fiasco at rhe Dwarfs’ Mine, Yuu, Grim, and the Adeuce duo all return back to NRC safely and recap the story of their little journey to Crowley in the privacy of his office where he promptly bursts into tears after.

He begins to ramble about how the students of NRC, as talented as they are, have egos bigger than mt. Everest and this is the first time in his decades of working at NRC where the students have finally joined hands to defeat a common foe.

“I am convinced that people like you are necessary for the future of this school.”

This line of dialog caught my interest greatly. Though he was already going on and on about how Yuu’s “mundanity” is great for the students of this school— for some reason this line simply seemed to stand out to me.

“People like you”? But, there has never been a magicless student at NRC before Yuu, atleast as far as we know. Could this possibly hint to the Yuuniverse? People like you being the countless of other Yuus that were summoned in a past timeline— perhaps each one restarting after the last Yuu fails, and Crowley summons another in an attempt to stop the constant loop of each timeline resetting after every calamity that falls upon NRC.

Perhaps Yuuken failed during Leona’s overblot, and that is why he’s replaced by Yuuka in the Savanaclaw manga volumes? Maybe Yuuka failed during Azul’s, then Yuuta was summoned forth? And then so on, so forth.

Perhaps that is why Crowley is so desperate. Continuing to try and summon the perfect benefactor, the right flower to nurture in hopes that they would survive and deal with each and every calamity accordingly, in order to stop the timeloop.

Why he doesn’t get off his lazy ass and help Yuu himself? Who knows, I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt and say theres a completely understandable reason of him not helping the students hes supposed to be protecting— but then again, it is Crowley. You really never know with him.

Right after he accepts Grim and Yuu as students, he immediately foists upon another job for Yuu. Gifting them a Ghost Camera, which captures the Memories of the photos taken by the photographer.

The photographer and the subject are then considered “Soulbound”, which apparently just means that when the photographer and the subject’s bond deepens, the Memories captured in the photos come “jumping out”. Crowley says it enables the user to not only photograph the subject, but parts of their soul itself.

(I want to relate this to the part where we take the hand of our chosen character but i cant think of anything so …)

He then tells Yuu to take the camera, and make a record of their campus life. But why Yuu, specifically? And only Yuu? Surely, he could’ve given such an object to the Housewarden of each respective dorm— yet he gives it to Yuu and Yuu alone. As if he knows that they’d get involved in all sorts of trouble, face the unthinkable. And he brushes it off saying how much more convenient it would be instead of documenting everything himself, but how could he be so sure that Yuu would come across such events?

“As a prefect, consider it your duty to maintain a sharp eye on your surroundings and record them.”

Yuu and Yuu alone has been given full freedom to mettle in whichever dorm they see fit and “beast tame” them. They do not have the restriction of the Housewardens, where they only keep an eye strictly on their dorm and dorm mates. No, Yuu has been given full and complete freedom to keep an eye and ensure that everyone is in line regardless of their dorm due to Crowley’s blessing upon Yuu to do just that.

While Housewardens are only limited to their respective dorms, Yuu is allowed to discipline and punish whoever they see fit regardless of which dorm they belong to.

It is because Yuu is magicless that they alone have this privledge of overseeing every dorm— even being able to tell off the Housewardens themselves.

It is because Crowley has given them this role that Yuu is constantly faced with so many challenges from each dorm as a result of their meddling.

He pushes them to meddle in the business of other dorms, making it their “duty” as a prefect (A job that he forced unto them). In a way, this is isn’t just Crowley extorting Yuu into looking after the students instead of him despite it being his job and not theirs, perhaps it is him also trying to ‘nurture’ Yuu. Putting them into these situations, in hopes that they allow Yuu to unlock their true potential and stop the timeline from resetting.

It is because of their job as a prefect that they get into these situations. And it is because of this meddling that they face such challenges. Yet, they wouldn’t have had to if Crowley just didn’t appoint them as “Prefect”. (Well, I suppose Ace was the one that started it— but shh lets ignore that for now!)

Thats all the dialog that stuck out to me for the Prologue.

—₊˚⊹ Conclusion !

In conclusion, I think that Yuu was not brought to Twisted Wonderland by mistake, but on purpose by none other than Crowley himself.

Perhaps each character has their own “Yuu”, and that connection between a character and their Yuu was what enabled Crowley to bring them into their world.

With each Yuu failing at a calamity / overblot, the timeline resets and Crowley summons another Yuu to try again to stop the timeloop, hence the Yuuniverse.

Crowley alone remembers every reset, perhaps not all of it which is why he has given Yuu the Ghost Camera in hopes that the Memories in the camera remain. But, he is aware that the timeline resets every time a Yuu fails— yet it is only a Yuu that can stop the calamities due to the mystery of their true nature.

Yuu is Crowley’s “esteemed benefactor”, the one summoned specifically to aid Crowley in his agenda, whatever it may be. Yuu was brought to NRC to assist him, and Crowley seeks to nurture Yuu until the time their true powers are revealed.

Crowley was desperate to summon Yuu. And it seems the worst is yet to come, and for that reason he summoned Yuu.

With Yuu’s mysterious background and even more mysterious ability to see the past through their dreams— Yuu must have some sort of secret power. The true nature of their being, perhaps they themselves have some sort of magic, or are destined for something great. Whatever it may be, Yuu is not a normal, everyday person. Though they are magicless, that does not make them average at all.

To summarize: With every calamity that falls upon NRC, the timeline resets to the night before the Opening Ceremony. Crowley, being the only one who retains any memory of every reset, desperately seeks out the Dark Mirror in search of wisdom, and a benefactor who can help him and the rest of NRC and finally end the loop. That benefactor being Yuu. Yet, because of the limits on magic— it is difficult to summon such a person, let alone the right one. Conveniently enough, there are a select few of students who have some sort of connection with the one Crowley may be looking for (ex. Yuuken paralleling Riddle, Yuuta paralleling Azul, ect.), and it is because of that law-defying connection that Crowley is able to summon each of their respective Yuu’s.

Yuu’s true abilities have not yet been revealed, and still remain veiled in mystery. But, Yuu may have powers of some sort, or a destiny that they are to fulfil. One greater than they can imagine.

— Phew! That was a lot, wasn’t it ? Sorry, I didn’t expect it to be so long ! (Thats what she said)

Anyways, if you’re still here and managed to make it to the end— Thank you so much for reading my little yap session !!! I appreciate it, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic !

If I got anything wrong, please feel free to correct me! After all, I don’t have the best memory and I may be remembering things wrong. But once again, thank you so much for reading !

Don’t forget to drink water, and take care of yourself, pretty ! See you next time, bye-bye!~ ♡

[stuckinheavenwithyou]

Hi so sorry to bother you may I request a hetalia x fem reader where they celebrate Easter together it could be any of the states or countries like America or Germany or Japan it's up to you also happy Easter or happy Resurrection Day is what me and my family call it because it's when Jesus resurrected from the grave but yeah you know.

Thank you💕 Its a bit rushed tho lol😭😭

Hetalia x fem!reader || EASTER TIME!!!!!

Feliciano Vargas / Italy

• LOOK AT HIMMM :(( anyways, hes very familiar with Easter and takes the chance to decorate the whole house/apartment,etc. He also takes his chance to put on some cute bunny ears on you and himself

• As I said, he isnt a expert at cooking so you would have to do it, but he does help you with preparing and cleaning afterwards. He even shares some homemade wine he had laying around, if you like wine ofcourse!

• he even painted the easter eggs, named them but was pretty bummed out when he had to throw them away, but he kept some as a memory. Some of them were cracked because you two played around with them by knocking them to see which one gets broken the most

Ludwig Beilschmidt / Germany !!

• he’s a very gentle and careful man when it comes to holidays, specifically Easter. He makes sure that the food is ready at the exact time as he planned, the room temperature fits the atmosphere, the house is spotless and sparkly clean, etc.

• he does decorate the house, but doesn’t go over the top unlike a certain American… Nothing to colorful either, he knows you very well and tried to get the decorations of your favorite colors which ofcourse turned out very well and neat! He was very nervous and awkward about it because he’s not really a decorations guy, which was absolutely adorable!

• he doesnt gaf about them eggs, he does everything that you like so that he can grow closer to you, that includes crafts and such! He did grow fond of the little silly crafts that you both made in the end and decided to keep them and learn to make them for the next Easter that you two would spend together!

Kiku Honda / Japan!!

• While there aren’t many Christians nor does it have anything to do with Easter; Japan tried his best to understand Easter and its tradition by the few books he read and logic. He placed some colorful pastel-like eggs and hid them around the backyard for you to find, while he sat and watched, giving a few subtle hints here and there.

• Easter isn’t as common in Japan, but that doesn’t mean he can’t celebrate it with his darling. He’s not much of a cook, but he can bake if that helps. Regarding decorations, he wasn’t sure about it because it barely talks about decorations in the books he read so he placed some small bunny figurenes and leftover eggs around the house.

• This guy is a sucker for games and crafts. He adores every bit of them, even with you. He lets you win every game you two play just to see your sweet smile. Although he does find the thought of Christianity slightly intimidating and mystical, that doesn’t stop him from leaving you or anything! He respects your religion and you completely, so don’t be suprised if he looks behind him every now and then.

This one is an extra but..

ALFRED F. JONES / AMERICA!!

• let me tell you, this man is all about holidays and traditions! He celebrates them like his life depends on it, calm down its not running away from him. He would throw a mini-party, nothing too loud or disrespectful ofcourse! He would even go as far as inviting your family over if you ask him too. He loves meeting new people anyways!

• decorates the house like crazy, ribbons are all over the place! The smell of the food fills the house, he’s a suprisingly very good cook! Wears an Easter themed apron aswell! He went a bit overboard and brought a 8ft tall shaped egg that he made, he brings it every Easter to show it to the world AKA you <3

• he wore a bunny outfit for the whole day. Not the sexy one, the one where you can barely breathe in. Which scared some of the guests away, a walking dehydrated 5’7 rabbit would scare anybody away! He’s very slow when it comes to crafts, it takes a while to understand them but he managed to understand them in the end which was a relief!

Authors note: HAPPY EASTER!!! (if u celebrate it) im done with the request. IM VERY VERY SORRY IF ITS SHORT, I RUSHED SO HARD TO FINISH THIS IN A SINGLE SITTING OR ELSE ILL BE LATE!! anyways requests are still open!! Okayyy bye bye! =>

★RULER OF MY HEART★- ch. 5

disclaimer: ts was NOT proofread so ill edit it later….

kiana pov:

Your pov:

As you started your bike up, you spotted for kiana in the foresty area around the factory. She was by the side of the road. You rode up on your bike in front of her.

“hey” Kiana’s eyes lit up

“Oh finally bitch! My savior frfr” she said gratefully

You toss her a helmet. “yeah, yeah. Hop on”

After she got on and wrapped her arms around you, you started up the engine. You guys arrive at the factory after a bit and kiana hops off.

“tabito isnt here” you remark as you get off the bike yourself. The usual people are here, but he said he’d be back. You spot the redhead next to shidou and the manwhore tonight. What you expected.

Kiana snickers, “of course YOU notice”

you shoot her a warning glare. “whats that supposed to mean? Hes my friend”

Kiana’s eyebrows furrow the tiniest bit. “yeah, yeah. But isnt our main objective that… what was her name? Marisa girl?”

“Right! You look around for her. Her long, brown hair stands out in the crowd.

In hushed whispers, you point her out to kiana who nods eagerly.

“Wait- HEAR ME OUT…. Shes kinda…” kiana says, smirking.

“before you ask, no i dont know if shes into girls.”

“she looks like she does”

You sigh. This girl… “youre probably just saying that because you think shes hot. And i mean, she is pretty.

“But does she?”

You reply without hesitating. “Yeah”

Kiana changes the topic, thankfully. “What do you know about her?”

“I dont know anything about her besides about what happened in the sixth grade. Hell- she might even go to our college, i just dont know”

Kiana nods, “valid point. She is our age…”

“Yeah. I might have to check in. Anyways, whats the game plan?” Kiana looks at you with a dumbfounded look.

Kiana groans, “gameplan?!?! You didnt come up with one beforehand?!?! Are we going to let our rival steal karasu?!?!”

You speak up, “Tabito can’t be stolen. Hes not an object. And our rival??? What is this? An otome game?” You fire back.

You pause a bit before continuing, “And no, i did not make a game plan”

“guess we’re going to have to wing it.”

Kiana agrees with you and starts walking toward marisa.

“Hey!” You whisper yell.

Kiana replies, “what?”

“Youre just gonna go up?!?!”

“fuck yeah. Pretty girl and im helping you. So dont complain. And you need to talk more, since she doesnt know me. You say the first few words ‘n ill handle the rest.”

you reluctantly agree, and the next moment, kiana is practically dragging you to Marisa. Without a plan. “hi… marisa” you say awkwardly.

“oh! Hi y/n!” She flashes a smile to you and kiana. “Whos that?”

“oh- hi-! I think y/n told me about you!”

Marisa looks at kiana in surprise. “really?” She smiles, “im happy to hear that!”

Kiana agrees and smiles back, “mhm! Oh my god- i love your nails!”

Theres a hint of a blush on Marisa’s face. “o-oh im flattered”

“theyre pretty,” you remark, trying to join in on the conversation and make your presence… less awkward.

“anyways, how do you know y/n?” You look to the side.

“oh! Me and her used to go to elementary together with karasu! Do you know him?”

“oh right! Theyre practically inseparable to this day…” kiana smirks. You give her a look. What is she trying to say to this girl?!?

You can feel a smirk as you hear a familiar voice behind you, “did someone say my name?” You whip your head towards the voice.

“tabito?” You see his handsome stupid face.

He mocks you, “y/n?”

You shoot a glare at him as he greets kiana and marisa.

“oh! Hey kiana-san! And marisa-san as well.”

Hes being more formal today; you take note of that.

A/n: hey guys! Im so sorry for the upload. I was originally planning on making this ch longer, but i was kinda busy this past month. I just wanted to upload smtg since its been a while since ch. 4. I might make a tsukki oneshot to make up for it :/. Im also sorry if this seems rushed since i want to put it out😓….

i also have little to no idea for the direction i want this story to go in- just vibes and small ideas. So that will affect the writing too. I should change that….

"Im so sorry to bother you at home"

Starring: Nishinoya Yuu

Sypnosis: He has been trying to hit on you subtly for quite a few time, but he has grown a little more determinate now.

Request: Hello! Could you please write a Nishinoya x female reader where she’s seen by everyone as a serious, menacing person, when in reality she’s really just socially awkward and dense? Nishinoya tries hitting on her doing the usual tricks like flowers and bears and pick up lines but she’s just confused. Finally he just becomes more direct with her and honest and slowly she falls for him too? I’m sorry if it’s a bit too detailed and it’s okay if you don’t do this haha it’s been at the back of my head for a while

A/N: This one was so cute to write!, i tried to be really quick making this but the inspiration came to me like a thunder and here we are. Remember i use she/her in this fic.

Nishinoya Yuu. The thunder of the Karasuno team, always so energetic and kind, oftenly called delusional by his feelings towards Kiyoko, little did they know that it wasent a crush, he admired her and by that her personality and how she acted; But he liked you, he admired you and wordshipped the very floor you stepped on.

His tries were almost pathetic, sure he could tell Kiyoko anything btu it was different when it was you, he shacked and mumbled like a little kid inlove everytime he crossed any words with you. Everyone could tell but some way you didnt; Not even the flowers he gave you, little gifts he made for you with his own hands (which were a cute detail since he isnt pretty good with manualities) But from time to time his friends started to see that there was no response tho this little acts.

"She doesn't like you and she's acting like that to decline your feelings nicely" He heard one of them said, his heart ached but then Hinata spoke answering to the previous person, his words were filled with determination and his obvious spark that always bringed hope to everyone. "And what if she isnt?, she could see it was a friendly gesture. Nishinoya haven't talked about his feelings openly to her"

Hinata had a point, Sugawara and Daichi agreed, yes Nishinoya and his friends could think those hints were obvious enough to tell that he was completely head over heels inlove with you. But they know him as a friend and since pretty long time comparing to you; They weren't you and that meant they didnt feel or thinked like you.

He planned his confession, would you like something big? the whole school knowing?, No, it will make you agree by social pressure, Did you liked him enough to say 'Yes' without much people knowing? Oh God.

It was 6PM on a friday. He can remember it vividly, his steps were hard on the floor and his fingers were digging into his shirt and on the little box he held, his palms sweated and his face was red; He knocked at your door. After a few minutes you opened the door.

"Hey, im so sorry to bother you at home" he started as he saw you, his face blushed and his cologne was subtle as always. "I know that this might be hard but... I dont know what to say" he started panicking.

"I like you a lot" He finally stated after a sigh, his gaze fixated on the floor, the blush on his cheeks made him look heated, his breathing was heavy and his mind was longing and pleading for an answer.

"Are you being serious?" You spoke, a hidden tint of amusement in your voice, his feeling were glowing as he answered "Of course i am, why wouldnt i? i like you so much" He said as he took another step, reflecting his mind and then doing the opposite and stepping back, he didnt wanted to make the situation awkard, he just wanted to finally be totally sincere with you.

little did he know you liked him aswell, but oh lord he is the happiest man alive.

"Hey, i bringed this for you too" He said as he smiled at you, more confident and smug after your answer, handing you a little figure you have been longing to have since quite a few time. He buyed it for you since the first day you mentioned it but he decided to wait untill the ocation was perfect, and sure it was.

Sometimes I fear they won't do devil's minion at all. Armand won't call Daniel beloved and like the turning- the turning was said to be done in spite where in the books there was at least some love, something that made Armand say they will be in hell together after all. I feel like there is a possibility that in the show hell together means like a thorn lodged in the throat. You can't ignore it and you can't get rid of it. That will hurt a lot if they do that.

im sure dm will definitely be romantic in the show at some point, it's just a case of how they get there because things are obviously different from the books.

i myself am keeping an open mind about the whole "spite" thing tbh. that descriptor does not come from armand or daniel, it comes from louis, who was not there— and in my opinion, daniel sorta dodges addressing it any further when louis brings it up, and there could be multiple reasons for that (he doesn't want to talk about it? or maybe there's more to it he isn't letting on right now?)

just throwing things out there but if it WAS entirely spiteful, but past dm happened, it's possible they could also utilise daniel's book turning scene for the "memory wipe", framing that as armand's act of love in order to save daniel's life, which would balance things out a little more. either way i think we WILL see the turning no matter what anyone says

where they are now with each other, the writers might take inspiration from the sort of push/pull they have towards 1985 in qotd, along with the long period of separation they have after qotd and the regret armand feels for turning daniel. daniel feeling resentful towards armand (for turning him? for messing with his and louis' memories? for leaving him all alone?), but unable to stay away for long; armand believing he has made a horrible mistake and trying to stay away while also dealing with the fact that daniel destroyed armand's relationship with louis, but he and daniel are bound together now and the maker/fledgling connection sometimes seems to be a lot stronger in the show, even between "strangers" as displayed by madeleine & louis being able to "feel" one another

i think show daniel seeing armand at his lowest, knowing what he can do to people and what he has done to him, will play into the way daniel sees armand in the books: a terrible creature capable of great evil who daniel is drawn to and loves for who he is, and armand gets to be perceived outside of the roles he's always playing by someone he doesnt have to control or lie to (and cant, really). for how they get to the love part... im curious to see how it will go because there's a lot of ways it could happen. i'm just certain they will get there. they might feel stuck in "hell together" at first, but eventually hatred won't be the only thing that binds them together (if it ever was the 'only' thing between them in the first place)

maybe tangentially related but ive seen people suggest rolin jones has some sort of dislike for dm or that he just straight up doesn't care/wasn't planning on including it, and of course i have no clue what's going through his head but i have to disagree. a deeper relationship between armand and daniel has only been hinted at right now; pieces of a puzzle slowly make themselves known, and the audience has to notice them and put the puzzle together with what they've got so far. just because something's in the books doesn't mean theyll just talk about it openly, its still a show spoiler. which means outside of the show (in interviews etc) it's only going to be acknowledged as a "thing that happens in the books", yknow? just like book characters that havent appeared yet, the way theyll be portrayed in the show isnt discussed. kinda why i think they got king of spoilers eric bogosian to drop the "budding romance" line in those sdcc videos from a while back because to me... that technically is a show spoiler lmao

[ender-cloud]

I saw someone say that what if Polities voice is fading because Odysseus is forgetting his voice, I told some people this and we came up with a new theory.

So enjoy the theory and my explanation for it that I made late last night so its kinda everywhere

Ok ok, so What if Polities Voice fades because Odysseus is forgetting the idea of using Mercy and is no longer taking his advice to heart, forgetting what he said which is why the last time he hears Polities voice he only hears “You can relax my friend”

We can also see the growth throughout lyrics in the story!

First time we hear the Open arms idea is in song #4, Open arms, when Poloties is giving Odysseus advice that instead of leading with a ruthless, unhappy life to lead with a more open, merciful one instead!

And then In Remeber them, after Polities dies, when Odysseus talks to Athena he says “When Mercy is a skill more of this world could learn to do” and in Luck runs out he tells Eurylochus “I still believe in goodness, I still believe we can be kind, lead from the heart”

BUT THEN! IN UNDERWORLD SAGA WHEN WE HEAR POLITIES HIS VOICE IS FADED, at this in the point Odysseus has already met Posedion “Ruthlessness is Mercy” and has heard his crew blaming him for their deaths, already doubting Polities advice

Then theres of course Monster, getting rid of that Ideal of Mercy, with Different Beast Odysseus showed no Mercy to the Sirens because he “can’t take more risks of not seeing his wife” (also just the entire Thunder saga in general) yet he still dosent bring himself to fight Scylla, not being able to fight a monster, perhaps because he knew it was a lost cost either way.

Also he still debates for a bit if he should show his crew mercy, knowing what he truly wants but not wanting to voice it, not wanting to accept that he cant show them his mercy, leading to their deaths

AND THEN IN LOVE IN PARADISE WE HEAR POLITIES AGAIN! This time he’s more faded, Odysseus has been betrayed by people he thought were his friends, he is almost constantly SA’d (in the original Odyssey and Hints to it in Epic) by Calypso every night, and is loosing his hope in humanity.

Then, of course, the Vengeance sags. Where, for the last time, we see Odysseus try to accept Mercy, trying to hold onto the Ideal, but it doesn’t work. Poseidon doesn’t listen. This is the last time we hear Polities, but it’s not the normal piece of advice he gives, it’s “You can relax my friend” because Odysseus isn’t planning on using Mercy anymore. He has tried time and time again just for nothing to work.

This leads to the end of 600 strike, even after He won he didnt give Poseidon any mercy whatsoever.

AND THEN WE GET TO ODYSSEUS (the song) WHERE THIS ALL COMES TOGETHER!

The fight with the Suitors has many parts but theres 2 important ones. The first one is the obvious one, Eurymachus trying to reason with Odysseus, using the Words “OPEN ARMS” which is something Odysseus has rejected, choosing to kill Eurymachus instead (i heard people say its a trigger word now and it made me giggle)

And then theres the end of Odysseus, when Telemachus attempts to reason and give the suitors Mercy, in which we get the nail of the Mercy coffin with the lines “Mercy? MERCY! My mercys long since drowned” (Poseidon putting thr thought of Ruthlessness in his head) “it died to bring me home”

This is where we truly see that Mercy isnt even a thought to Odysseus, he has completely forgotten and pushed aside what Polities had told him (which might be a reason we dont get a polities moment in the final saga)

Also in this same song, Odysseus says that they “Filled his heart with hate” going against what he had said in Luck runs out, he is no longer penelopes “kind and loving husband” (WYFILWMA) because of what happened to him during the journey

your yellowjackets + soccer meta <3 i'm convinced and obsessed and would love to hear more!! do you have further character/relationship analysis you would like to share? (my personal fave is van having 100% save percentage and being seemingly unkillable she's so gonna beat stage IV cancer) and the missing attacking midfielder!! these ppl matched the characters' personalities with their soccer positions there is NO WAY that's not intentional. do you think she's an actual character we're yet to meet or just a symbol of the team being fractured? there's a missing link between defence+midfield and attack and so far allie's been yeeted right out of the plot and jackie died when the team froze her out and they tried to eat nat and she's very isolated from them and!!

i actually put most of my yellowjackets stuff, including other theories, on my other blog @alicentsgf ! idk why i put this one on here maybe because its football related so i got confused lmao

i've heard the unkillable van theories and i think they have some merit im just not 100% on what it all means yet? especially since I think ? The writers planned to kill her off and then backed out of it. Idk i remember reading that somewhere. But it would be very goalkeeper-esque of her to leave treatment to the last minute, then miraculously recover.

But yeah the missing player thing is interesting because the corresponding missing number is 10. And that's Mari's number according to the wiki, though I dont think i've ever seen her wearing her numbered jersey. Of course the attacking midfielder doesnt have to wear a 10 its just tradition. Given thats theres 8 positions on a soccer field (and then 3 duplicates of them) its interesting we only know who played 7 of them. When theres 8 survivors and we only know 7, suddenly that choice to exclude a player feels relevant to that.

I dont know if this was meant to hint that Mari was or is meant to be the 8th survivor, or if that was changed at some point. I mean theres a girl wearing 16 in this photo

and thats Gens number so it should be Gens but we can clearly see it isnt actress ! Maybe its proto-gen and they hadnt cast the other actress yet idk. Either way, things might have changed since the pilot in terms of whose assigned what number anyway. I think all this could be very unspecific, and nothing much more than a tiny little visual nod to us not knowing who the 8th survivor is.

Being totally honest, I'm kind of leaning towards the idea that likeliest reason one player is missing from the starting line up is to hint at the unknown. The attacking midfielder is a playmaker, usually considered to be thee playmaker, pulling the strings for the attack. I think the unknown player is probably meant to represent the wilderness more than anything. The fact that Jackie was disconnected from the rest of the team by the wilderness, and the way thats mirrored by the missing attacking midfielder, then makes so much sense. The attackers on this team in general tend to get cast out one way or another, like you said; Allie never even makes the plane, Jackie never learns to cope with the wilderness, and Nats the first to be chosen to die, only to survive to die in a future hunt anyway. Shes also about to get diposed (in a not unsimilar way to jackie) if the trailers are anything to go by.

The fact its the attacking positions who are so specifically targeted kind of feels like the wilderness pulling out the teams teeth. We see how the teams thriving under Nat in season 3, adapting to their environment, but she cant people manage the petty fights that are starting. The leader they need now is Jackie, but the wilderness took her already, so its all going to fall apart.

asked a friend to send me a prompt and they chose this one, and it felt like a good opportunity to prod at a barely hinted at relationship in the jdau i wrote. context isnt really needed, though, i think. anyway thank you dea!!

24. “Do you think it counts as hatefucking if it’s a professional conflict?”

There weren't many things that could break Jason's focus. In the field, he was sharp, deadly, and quick, laser-intent and sprawling plans that rarely had holes for his attention to slip through.

However, Kyle Rayner was one such hole Jason had never been able to patch.

In the moment that Jason's head snapped around to stare at his begrudging partner for the night, the toe of his boot caught the lip of a crooked bit of concrete. Kyle made no attempt to smother his laugh, the sound of it bouncing off the alley walls like ricochet as Jason stumbled. Rage burned up through Jason's stomach to his shoulders, hunching them around warm ears as he fought the urge to trip the Lantern in turn. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

It was a mistake to acknowledge him. They had to be across the city in ten minutes, and with so many eyes trained on the skies, their usual ring-related transportation methods wouldn't work. The situation was getting more dire by the minute and it was absolutely not the time. Jason's full attention was needed on the matter at hand, or else Gotham was toast. And yet, they always fucking did this when they were together. Jason swore Kyle's stupidity rubbed off on him.

"I just figured if anyone knew, it'd be you," Kyle said casually. "Given your dads at all."

"Never," Jason said, pointing a threatening finger at him, "Never bring up my fathers again."

"You're mad because they're the perfect example."

"We have a job to do."

"Have you ever- Ow! Hood!" Kyle slapped away the offending finger jabbing into his side, scowling at him. His fingers curled into a fist; Jason knew that look.

Jason ducked his head and poured on the speed, Kyle bolting after him. At least now maybe they'd get there faster- if Kyle didn't catch him first.

Day 2: a fic rated G

📚 The Pure and Simple Truth by @letteredlettered

Draco/Harry, 65k, G

Summary:

Harry, Draco, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, and Pansy go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Pansy, and Hermione go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione and Ron go to a pub. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, and Pansy―you guessed it―go to a pub. I could go on. In fact, I did. Harry, Draco, Hermione, Pansy, Ron, Blaise, Luna, Goyle, Neville, and Theodore Nott go to a pub. In various combinations.

I suspect that I will not be the only one singing high praises to this fic today because let’s be honest – how many G rated fics out there have we read?? And we should! Have a whole fest for all those to unveil all the gems hidden underneath some excellent PWP :D

So for this one here – if ANY of you have SOMEHOW not read works by the one and only leterred, you do yourself a favour and do it like, right now. And if you have to do boring adult stuff like, ugh, work or study or fetch your kids from school – put leterred on speaker via RattleandHum (ThirdEye1234)’s georgeous podfic of Away Childish Things by Lettered or listen to their interview with The FanFic Maverick on spotify.

Now, onto the pub story! First off, I love the concept of it. Of actually giving each of the characters, one by one, their own moment. Whey're all so well-written here, I felt like I was reading about real people not just archetypes. For example, Neville got to actually be properly mad in this one! Which I always highly appreciate because the boy just deserves it. And Blaise? Oh my, Mr Zabini is to die for in this fic. His flirt abilities are through the roof, I was blushing through the screen. I mean, even Harry got a bit enamoured:

Harry explained to Hermione, “Blaise photosynthesises for a living.” “Er.” Hermione looked a little uncomfortable. She always looked that way when she corrected people's factual errors, but it actually hadn't convinced her to stop doing it. “Photosynthesis is what plants do.” “Yeah,” said Harry. “Blaise does what plants do. He lies around in the sun all day.”

And isnt that something we’d like to do for a living on this cold December day?

Also I am crazy for Protective Draco ™ and oh boy, does he deliver here. I will also never get tired of Hermione and Draco talking Deep Complicated Shit while Ron and Harry are like... so yeah, Quidditch is great, right xd ALSO, I may have a lil thing about Pansy & Ron as well as Pansy & Draco and both of these are A++ here.

And the discussions here just run! They don’t even flow, they run, and are so witty but somehow deep enough to get sad? How? HOW? The main story and relationships between the character are so well-paced, there's a lot going on but like, subtely, in hints and hidden in the background. It was such an experience to slowly unveil them!

All in all, 10/10 would recommend and see you tomorrow! (hopefully)

Some of my fav quotes under the cut <3

“Excellent,” said Zabini. “Death is unpleasant to me. I’m determined to avoid it.” “That’s going to be difficult,” Harry said. “Life is a sexually transmitted disease that is, in the end, fatal.” Zabini said. “I plan to have as little to do with it as possible.” Harry was startled into laughing. Resolving not to think about Hermione and Ron, he said, “What do you do?” “I warned you,” Pansy told Zabini, in her bored tone. “He’s not very quick.” “Nothing at all, if I can possibly help it,” said Zabini. When Harry continued to look confused, Pansy smirked. “He’s a professional gentleman, Harry.” Harry looked at Zabini in surprise. “You’re a hooker?” Zabini burst out laughing, a rich deep sound. Pansy just smirked. “Don’t you just wish,” she said. “I have no profession,” Zabini said, still smiling a brilliant smile. “I am a landowner. I live with my mother. I practise ennui.” Harry frowned. “It’s not hard.” Zabini laughed again. “I don’t suppose it is, but I would venture to say that you haven’t mastered it.” “Blaise is arrogant,” Pansy said. “And he’s an arse. I like him very much.”

“Okay.” Harry glanced at Pansy and Blaise, who were nattering on about ballrooms and the length of skirts. He turned back to Teddy. “Here’s an abstract for you, since you’re smart. Do you believe in conscience?” Teddy quirked his brow again. “Do you mean, an innate understanding of and urge toward right versus wrong?” Harry shoved his hands in his pockets. “Yeah.” Teddy blinked. “No.” “Then why do people think they have one?” His brow furrowing as he considered his reply, Teddy said at last, “Society breaks down if everyone thieves, murders, rapes, and pillages, and society benefits most individuals.” He shrugged. “People have developed conscience to benefit themselves.” Harry glanced at Pansy and Blaise again. When he caught Pansy’s eye, she blushed. In her slow and slothful way, she turned back to Blaise, but the colour stayed on her cheeks. Harry turned back to Teddy. “Then people do have it.” “Many people do. Some learn it. Some never do. It’s just like social cues, or a will to live. These things aren’t moral imperatives. They’re not even magic. They’re survival instincts.” “Where does magic fit in?” “Magic is a survival instinct too.” Teddy shrugged again. “People developed a sense of sight to better interact with their world. Lesser creatures don’t have eyes. People also developed a sense of magic.”

“Neville, it’s not like you’re holding a grudge,” Harry said. “It’s not like you’re a bad person just because you can’t forget that . . .” Harry knew he had to say it; he had to say it, or he’d be lying to himself, and Neville, and even to everyone―to Malfoy―and that wasn’t fair. “Because you can’t forget that someone tortured you, or tortured someone you love. If you were Bellatrix, right now―I couldn’t forgive you.” “It’s not forgiveness.” Neville ran a hand through his hair. “It’s just the forgetting part that’s hard.” Harry looked at him a while, Neville’s strong, kind face; his large, capable hands. “Malfoy says, don’t forget. He says we shouldn’t forget, so that it can’t happen again, and that’s how we make the world a better place.” Neville looked startled, then smiled a little, wryly. “Harry,” he said. “Do you even realize how many times Malfoy has said to me, ‘Potter says’?”

Unrequited love - The deception of desire

Log 0- Kibitsuji Muzan

This is a series of one shots I plan on writing, the link to the master list is here. Please let me know if there is a character you would like me to write and I will add it to my list!

Summary- Muzan Kibutsuji isnt a very lovely husband.

Genre- ANGST- These will all have angst in them.

Warnings- Manipulation/ dark themes/ mentions of physical abuse/ slight gore

The entertainment district. Busy streets, colourful lanterns, plenty of people, plenty of food. As he strolled through the vibrant city, Muzan's crimson eyes flickered with curiosity, observing the humans as they reviled in their pleasures. The scent of sake and the sound of laughter filled the air, but beneath it all, he could smell the fear and desperation. Despite the vibrant atmosphere around him, he remained detached.

As he moved through the crowds, his sharp senses heightened. He couldn't help but notice the fragile humans around him. Their fleeting lives seemed insignificant in comparison to his immortal existence. He relished in the fear that emanated from them.

As Muzan continued his stroll, his attention was unexpectedly drawn to a vibrant flower stand nestled in the crowds. Intrigued, he approached, his curiosity piqued by the array of blooms from all corners of the world, their intoxicating scents mingling with the scent of the humans around.

At the stand, he found himself face to face with a young woman whose beauty was as captivating as the flowers she tended. Her eyes sparkled with warmth and innocence, a stark contrast to him. Yet, beneath her cheerful demeanour, he sensed a hint of something else.

"Welcome, sir," she greeted him with a sweet smile "Is there something specific you're looking for today?"

He could sense the faint pulse of fear that quickened her heartbeat in his presence. It was a reaction he had grown accustomed to.

"Surprisingly, I find myself drawn to your flowers," he replied, his voice smooth and velvety. "I was not aware such beauty existed in this world."

The woman's smile widened, and she gestured toward the colourful blooms that surrounded them. "Each of these flowers has its own story, its own unique beauty," she explained. "They come from all around the world." Muzan's gaze lingered on the delicate petal. For a fleeting moment, he felt a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty that surrounded him. But the moment passed quickly. With a faint smirk, he reached out to pluck a single flower from its stem, his fingers brushing against the soft petals with a touch as gentle as a whisper

"Perhaps I shall take this as a reminder of the fleeting beauty of this world," he mused, "Thank you, my dear."

---------------

Several nights passed, and Muzan found himself inexplicably drawn back to the flower stand in the entertainment district. You had every flower there, except the one he needed.

"Welcome back," she greeted him warmly, her smile lighting up her face. "It's good to see you again."

Muzan inclined his head in acknowledgment, a rare gesture from someone so accustomed to command. "I could not resist the lure of your flowers," he admitted. The woman laughed softly, "I'm glad to hear that," she replied. "Is there something in particular you're looking for today?"

Muzan hesitated for a moment, "I... I wished to see you again," The woman's smile widened, her eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, here I am," she said, a hint of mischief in her voice. "What can I do for you?"

Muzan took a step closer, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart flutter. "I find myself... intrigued by you," he confessed, his voice low and husky. "I wish to know more about the woman behind the flowers."

The woman's laughter faded, replaced by a look of curiosity and uncertainty. "I'm just a simple florist," she said softly. "There's not much to know."

But Muzan needed to get close. He reached out to gently brush a stray lock of hair from her face, his touch as tender.

"You are anything but simple," he murmured, his voice filled with a fake warmth. "And I would very much like to get to know you better."

For a moment, the woman seemed to hesitate, her gaze flickering between Muzan's intense stare and the darkness that surrounded them. But then, with a smile that lit up the night, she nodded her head in agreement.

"I would like that," she said softly. "I would like that very much."

-------

"Tell me, woman," Muzan snapped impatiently, his voice dripping with disdain. "Have you heard of the blue spider lily?" His hand, tangled inti her hair, pulling her up to meet his sharp gaze, red eyes burning into hers.

The woman's brow furrowed in confusion "I-I'm sorry, sir," she stammered, her voice trembling. "I'm not familiar with that flower."

Muzan's eyes narrowed dangerously as he pulled her hair tighter, his towering figure casting a shadow over the woman. "You ignorant fool!" he spat, his voice laced with venom. "How dare you not know of such a crucial flower? Its your fucking job to know these things! You are nothing but a useless, pathetic human!"

The woman recoiled at his words, her teary eyes wide with fear as she struggled to comprehend the sudden change in Muzan's demeanour. She had never seen him like this before—so full of rage.

"I-I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice barely above a whimper. "I didn't mean to—"

But before she could finish her sentence, Muzan lashed out with a cruel laugh, he let go of her hair and kicked her to the ground, breaking bones and rapturing organs, causing her to bleed out. "Pathetic," he sneered. "You are nothing but a worthless insect, unworthy of my attention."

With that, Muzan turned on his heel and stormed away, leaving the woman trembling in his wake. As she watched him disappear into the night.

So one part about the terrible direction Veilguard went, made me realize that there was one more prophecy/foreshadowing from across the Dragon Age franchise that was thrown into the garbage.

So in the endings, we learn that Dorian becomes Archon and the Tevinter Imperium lives to fight another day... And that really bothers me.

Not that he makes the attempt, but rather thar the empire survives at all, because the games had been setting up the idea that Tevinter's time was finally up and heading to a close.

The idea is first brought up when the Guardian of the urn of Sacred ashes tells of his duty of protecting the ashes for pilgrims... Until the Imperium has "Crumbled into the sea", and when the Warden tells him that the Imperium is no longer as strong as it used to be, he ominously says that perhaps this is the beginning of the end then.

In hindsight, what seems to be said here is that he is referring to the "Beginning of the end' as the first step to leading to the climax of the series as it was planned and already being set up this early.

The concept that eventually became Veilguard, when the Elvhen gods would finally break free and it would all end in a cataclysmic battle that would end the Tevinter imperium as the Guardian(By far the living person who is the strongest argument that the Maker was real after all) has forseen.

Obviously we didn't get that, but this isnt the only place where this idea is floated around.

We get talks here and there of there being a time for something new, a "next great empire" as one of the Inquisition soldiers calls it.

And time and again we are hit by the reminder that the Imperium has seen much, much better days... And that the Qun WILL invade again in the near future, and when it does, it will probably level it.

There is the mention of the elvhen revolts starting up, the culmination of thousands of years of abuse and slavery, and just the nastiness of tevinter in general having completely degrading their society and its hopes for the future.

Vivienne actually talks about this with Dorian, as she pretty much tells him that Tevinter WILL fall, and she would prefer he had a backup plan to survive and thrive when it does.

And most of this does happen... But in ludicrously cartoonish ways.

The Qunari Antaam does invade... But not for the Qun, but instead because they serve the Elvhen gods.

As does the Venatori, because... Why? Why does the Tevinter supremacist follow false gods none of them have worshipped for near a hundred years? That they now know are elves?

The elvhen revolt never really happens.

The Evanuris does break free and begin destroying shit... but rather than elvhen followers as all logic dictates, are instead backed up by humans and Qunari... Because.

Also, rather than turning all their wrath loose upon the Tevinter imperium, the logical target that should either be conquered or exterminated to begin the rebuilding of their ancienct empire, they isntead focus the wast majority of their attention on the south... Because.

Im just gonna come flat out and say it.

I 100% believe that when Bioware was originally laying the foundations for This story, the planned climax was going to LEVEL Tevinter and make it "Crumble into the sea".

THAT was the direction as originally planned, and was the logical endpoint that everything was hinting at, and building towards and frankly would have served as a great climax and ending to this evil, decadent empire.

Unfortunately, Veilguard had no interest in a climax where the parts of the world YOU the player fought to save would be utterly decimated no matter what you did, so instead the empire survived, while the south of Thedas was obliterated.

So hey, the evil, slaving empire that is the source of so much of the world's evil, and will innevitably fall back into utter decadence and never change it's ways got to live on...

While Ferelden, the true heart and soul of this entire setting, burned to cinders and it's was people exterminated offscreen because Bioware wanted to get ridd of all player choices.

What a climax.

I am having a anxious mental breakdown and I just want to scream rn, could you share some byler proof based on tweets? They are so interesting

of course!! and i really hope you feel better <333 that can be tough

so I couldn't find a lot of the byler proof tweets due to some of them being pretty old but these are probably the best ones

soooo this tweet from the writers acc of stranger things... "there's a new couple" "a couple of hearts from me to you💖💖". this one is pretty clear if you remember the van scene: "You're the heart" from will to mike. the "there's a new couple" obviously implies that this is taken romantically. what i find interesting is that this was released before season 4 where the van scene took place, so this was supposed to be a hint mainly for will's feelings more obviously shown in the future, but also a hint that his feelings may (we know they are but still) be requited.

so this tweet was kind of insane lol. so this is showing that mike is pretty much as terrified or disgusted at the women's lingerie as he is when he sees the mind flayer.... the "listen give him a break there's a lot going on for him" from the actual writers literally just further proves this, probably hinting he is confused with who he likes due to societal expectations. this is pretty obvious queercoding and they literally tweeted it out

i think most people have made the conclusion that i personally agree with that this is a callback to the sceen where mike says "and you said yes" in the shed scene when he was telling will that asking him to be his friend was the best thing he ever did. and with the screenshot i used the date isnt there but it was posted in 2019, before season 4, which makes me further believe byler was planned from the beginning (i already believe it was planned from the beginning fyi)

i wanted to put the one where the writer acc said they would respond with wrong answers only to questions, and one question was "do you believe in love at first sight?" and they responded with "absolutely". disproving mike's "confession" to el in the pizza fridge scene

this is all i could find right now and i hope this helps you feel a bit better <33 and happy belated new year <333
