DR RATIO ANALYSIS: PART 2, ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

SPOILERS FOR 2.1 CONTENT.

Now, you might be saying - "Aurae, you already did one, why do you need a second?" And my answer is, "LORD, I FORGOT TO TALK ABOUT HOW HIS DEFINITION OF 'IDIOT' IS DIFFERENT. AND ALSO HE DOES NOT HATE AVENTURINE NOR DOES HE THINK AVENTURINE IS STUPID." Once again, here is my disclaimer - although I have been researching psychology for a solid six years, I am NOT a professional. (I will be, one day. Just you wait, just youuuu wait-) So understand that everything I say has been analyzed with personal judgement, with my own conclusions, come to with logic and my personal interpretation. This is just what I have concluded, and you are always free to disagree.

This is my legacy. To be an analyzer. So let's go.

Okay, now that my disclaimer is over, let's take off Ratio's plaster head and chuck it into the sea, and see - what does he mean by 'idiot'?

This will be much shorter than my last, so don't worry - I will not be flashbanging you with another 4k words. This is more like a follow up, than anything else, because there's a few things I wish to touch on.

Dr. Ratio doesn't hate idiots in the sense that he hates people that have 'low IQ' or are 'stupid' in terms of being 'slow to understand'. I definitely touched on this in my last analysis, but he hates people who take their education for granted and don't go places with the gifts that they've been given. He hates "idiots" - "narrow minded" people who have the capabilities to do more and perceive more than they choose to do. People who deliberately look away or take what they know and what they could do for granted. He wants to open people's eyes and allow them to see life from multiple different angles and he believes that everyone should have a chance to learn - with the whole "knowledge for everyone" thing he's got rolling.

He wears a plaster head around people he doesn't seem to know too well in order to think more, or so that he doesn't have to see the faces of the people he dislikes. Pretty good roast. However, he does NOT wear that plaster head around Aventurine. Let's listen to the doctor's judgement - Aventurine is far from stupid. Although he likes to chalk up a lot of the things he does to his own luck, he is an INCREDIBLY capable individual who's managed to get this far because of his own form of genius. He's a man who relies on chance and good fortune, yes, but his charm, his way of scheming, and the way that he's good with people? That's skill. A talent he doesn't take for granted. Dr. Ratio respects him for this - because despite the fact that he has no proper education, he has his eyes wide open to the world and doesn't take shit for granted. He learns what he can in order to survive and he does it fucking well - Aventurine is a very smart man. He's observant, quick on his feet, and great at going with the flow and thinking in the moment.

Aventio aside, I actually believe that Dr. Ratio would be a really good teacher to those who struggle. He's patient where it's needed to be, even if he's got a quick temper, and I believe in his pursuit for knowledge he would do his best to go out of his way to find strategies that would work for their individuals. We're all unique, and he's aware of this - and because he wants to allow people to think for themselves, whatever helps the individual works. Depression? He's got a psych degree, I'm sure bro could give you some strategies. Autism? He has a touch of the 'tism himself. ADHD, and not feeling organized? Bro will help you. It's canon that he's a great fucking teacher - those who finish his classes go on to become successful people who are intelligent and critical thinkers. Round of applause for Ratio, the man that kins my father. He's shit at emotions, but great at knowledge.

Also, on that note, I believe that he would most likely hate parents that push thier "gifted" students to the limit without any compassion for the person that they really are. He's most definitely got some of that academic trauma so I believe that bro holds a secret disdain for parents who just use their children to gain more recgonition. Well, not so secret. He'd cuss them out. (Ratio please cuss out the horrible parents.)

Dr. Ratio, the Teacher ever. (Hey, maybe he'd get along with Kunikida...)

Also, I am definitely planning on making a fic where he teaches Aventurine Latin. As long as you're eager to learn and willing to look past the chalk being thrown, he's got a place for you.

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk. I did not read this through, so this is not edited. Take my unedited rambles.

to be loved is to be known

zero; i was made for loving you // from a distance

<the collection — to be loved is to be known>

pairing. kageyama x reader

cw. angst to fluff, timeskip, setter!reader, one-sided pining, blasphemy, soon to be married and then divorced!reader, not very canon timeline compliant if you squint

wc. ~600

lucky is to have you. lucky is something i am not.

kageyama tobio thinks he must be born cursed. that or the gods just enjoy playing cruel pranks on him to see him flounder about and suffer as he flits around in the palm of their hands. 

because how else would one explain missing the person who he’s been waiting for by years, not just once, but twice? he swallows the feeling that is bubbling up in his throat as he watches you give him a thumbs up on the sidelines, eyes catching onto the glint of gold on your finger. 

yeah, he decides bitterly, they must be toying me for their own amusement. 

he remembers the first time he met you as clear as day, introduced by kuroo tetsuro—the gods-favored one who had been blessed not only to have the fortune of meeting you first, but also managing to claim your heart as his in the process. 

he had seen you in passing a handful of times, heard of your name on the same stage as him, your names endlessly intertwined together. as if you were two sides of the same coin despite never having properly interacted before. 

if he was being honest, he had been mildly irked at the constant comparison. the articles, doing their analysis of “genius setter kageyama tobio vs strategic setter oumae y/n”, goes on and on about your technical prowess (which is almost on par with him) and your strategic plays (purportedly better than his own), all concluding with a question—will you surpass him as japan’s best setter? 

not to mention, you are the people’s darling, all smiles and sunshine, even-tempered and ever so delightful to be around, unlike the storm that accompanies him whenever he is off court. 

though when kuroo-san personally requested for his help, he found his own curiosity piqued. considering that he is indebted to kuroo-san for all that he had done to help karasuno grow into their wings years ago, how could he reject his request?

besides, kageyama had his own questions for you. he found himself looking up replays of your games on youtube after going to one of your matches with hinata and his younger sister, mesmerized by your skills as a setter. despite the minor annoyance he had with the media, he quickly came to agree with their shallow assessment.

“oumae y/n, nice to meet you.” your words were polite, that dazzling smile that wins everyone over to your side making its first appearance. “i’ve been dying to meet you since i saw you play a couple of years ago. your precise sets are a work of art, and i’m sure you’ve been told this, your serves are godly.”

somehow you almost, almost remind him of oikawa tooru, if not for the sincerity behind your words, the stark contrast to oikawa-san’s habitual disingenuous tone. 

despite himself, a faint smile made its way onto his face—one of many, many more that you will pull out of him in time. 

“i’ve heard some things, but godly, that’s a first.” and you had fucking beamed at him like a bright sunny day, like a fan meeting their idol for the first time. he supposes that it was exactly that, if you had been following him for a while. 

you went on to pepper him with questions about his serve, showing him how you do it, and asking him to correct your form.

he wishes he could chalk it all up to falling in love at first sight. at least then he would have been able to blame it all on illogical emotions that do not have a basis for why he fell for someone who is taken. 

but the gods do not favor kageyama tobio, for they curse him so, bestowing the fate of koi no yokan upon him—what was supposed to be a magical feeling of knowing that you are meant to fall for them inevitably, with a cruel twist just for him. 

and he knows, fuck the gods, he knows more than senses the light flutter of his dormant heart awakening to you.

Am I the only one that hates when this fandom tries to make doumeki the bad guy every chance they get? Like some people blame him for every single bad thing that has happened to yashiro since he entered his life and as someone that is really emotionally attached to doumeki I can't help but feel sad anytime I see them slandering him.

People are saying that he should stop pretending not to care that it's damaging yashiro's mental health more but what about his? I don't think people are being realistic about what's happening like imagine getting shot at and abandoned by confessing your feelings in the first place, even if you do manage to forgive that person you would never wanna do that again especially knowing how sensitive they get to that, yes I admit I hate what's happening between them and I wish they just talk it out but that's not happening anytime soon.

I honestly just want doumeki's pov I want to know what his thinking, how his feeling, is he still angry, what his next move is, how he really feels about the whole fuck buddy thing.....people are saying his caging yashiro but is he really? They are caging themselves, yashiro not willing to let go of doumeki again that's why he willingly gives himself to him and doumeki just wanting to be near the man he loves even if it means just sex it's sad.

Sorry for the long text😭 What do you think about this? I may be just sensitive because I really feel for doumeki

Hi Anonymous! 👋🏼 I wonder if you're the same Anonymous who asks me questions or if you're a different Anonymous every time? Either way, I'm happy to be asked questions, thank you for asking me for my opinion 🤗

So I also really feel for Doumeki. I fortunately have not come across the posts you've referenced. I will say however that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. So if people don't like Doumeki that's their choice and that's OK.

So people saying every bad thing has happened to Yashiro since Doumeki entered his life: I mean tbh a shit tonne of bad things have already happened to Yashiro without Doumeki. And that whole arc with Hirata wanting to take Yashiro out, had nothing to do with Doumeki. People targeting Yashiro is part of the Yakuza life, Doumeki or not.

Re: Yashiro's mental health - this is already fucked tbh. Doumeki or not, Yashiro has convinced himself he loves his trauma and almost died post timeskip in how brutal and messed up his sex has become. Yashiro is not OK. He never has been. I see no evidence for Doumeki in just coming to Y for sex having any detriment to Yashiro's mental health.

The only thing this is going to do, is make Yashiro question what he wants and this is a good thing.

I personally think Doumeki is a fucking genius. He has completely understood how fucked up Yashiro is, that any indication of sentiment of love, spoken or expressed in any way other than sex, will repulse Yashiro (in fact the tender sex already repulses him). Yashiro hates and wants the tenderness. Yashiro wants to be loved but can't let himself be loved because what is love? Doumeki has found the sweet spot: a way of being together without being together.

Doumeki is in love with Yashiro but any hint of this or pressure from Doumeki's side, as you rightly said, could lead to Yashiro shooting him or doing something reckless.

At the very least, Doumeki knows now that Yashiro's body reacts to him and only him. Y's body knows love and tenderness and now craves to taste more, though he isn't used to this new sweet taste when he's had such bitter experiences.

I can't see at all how Doumeki is caging Yashiro; in fact the opposite is true - Doumeki is on the cusp of setting Yashiro free. But Doumeki can only open the birdcage. Yashiro needs to choose to fly. Yashiro needs to choose to accept this tenderness, this devotion, this love and accept the rough punishing sex isn't actually what he wants.

Doumeki is the necessary catalyst to make Yashiro question. But at the end of the day, the only person who can save Yashiro is Yashiro.

I'm fortunately unbothered by others' negative opinions of Doumeki. If people don't like him that's OK.

I trust my own opinion here and I love both Doumeki and Yashiro. I want both to receive the love that each other can give more than just the sex.

Yashiro needs to accept that he is in love with Doumeki and right now, Doumeki has accepted that for now, Yashiro can't love him.

But in the unspoken plains of sex, both can love and hide their true feelings at the exact same time.

19 27 37 48 for Tom/Voldemort 😊

thank you for the ask anon!

19. what are their vices/bad habits?

murder, obviously.

theft. pathological lying. torture. gaslighting. coercion. manslaughter. engaging in acts of terrorism. organ harvesting. fraud. the list is endless.

and also smoking. he's a forty-a-day man. can't get cancer if you're immortal, after all.

27. what is their guilty pleasure?

i always write voldemort as having an incredibly sweet tooth, but - crucially - also liking the sort of old-fashioned sweets that you might associate with your granny. the malfoys are spending a fortune on marzipan fruits and violet creams during deathly hallows and lucius is not allowed to share.

37. what do they really think about themselves?

voldemort is, obviously, incredibly fucked up in many ways - and, in his heart of hearts, i think he does recognise that he’s affection-starved, lonely, and grieving.

but these things can exist perfectly happily alongside bulletproof self-confidence in other areas. he thinks he’s the cleverest and most interesting person he knows, and is very much of the opinion that he’s always right and the rest of the world just doesn't understand his genius. other people might describe that as "having a victim complex", but they're wrong.

he also thinks he’s gorgeous at all stages of his life. the snake face is a deliberate choice and he’s pleased with it. to each their own...

48. what was the scariest moment of their life?

i am wedded to the headcanon that voldemort was quite a sickly child. i think it offers a particularly interesting insight into his obsession with magic if he’s someone who’s physically fragile, rather than - as i often see him in fics and, especially, art - someone who’s particularly strong and domineering [after all, he may be tall, but he’s emphasised throughout canon as being very, very thin, and i like him looking like he could be snapped in half by a strong breeze].

his consumptive pallor and soft, wheezy voice, then, are the result of regular childhood respiratory illnesses. flu, pneumonia, bronchitis, he’s had it all; but it was a bout of scarlet fever which very nearly killed him that is the most terrifying thing which has ever happened to him, not least because it put him at the mercy of the doctors he - canonically - hates.

he’s never forgotten the horror of teetering on the edge of life - and seeing the white light and all that, although he didn’t hear anyone calling for him - and it drives his later obsession with conquering death entirely.

[grntaire]

stress-wise: relax your shoulders, your jaw, your back. lay on your back with your feet on the floor, knees bent (also elevate your head slightly w a pillow or book if you can), and take deep breaths. as a musician it can help me to count in a slow 6/8 weirdly, so idk if that might help you too, but any kind of breathing's always good. whenever i have too many things to do i pick one of the easier things to do and make a conscious effort to stop thinking abt my worries and just concentrate on getting one tiny task done at a time, and then onto the next thing. apart from that, i just try to remember and trust in the fact that 90% of the time, i will not literally die or be killed or stop existing if the worst thing goes wrong. it might be fucking horrible, but tomorrow will get here and regardless of how today goes, we have the chance to try again and again and again and again. and eventually little by little we make it better. idk. stress fucking sucks and there's many kinds but i hope at least some of this helps??? hope you get to rest soon <3

counting a slow 6/8 is genius actually i will be doing that asap?? thank you my friend <3 it’s like i do get rest but am very much on the other end of the “oh so i’m an autistic lesbian” crisis and left with the “now what?” part! trying to figure out what i actually want my life to look like is terrifying and odd bc i’ve basically been lying to myself abt parts of it for a long time so going through what is genuine and what is fabricated is just very stressful but fortunately my new therapist is lovely :) am hoping that working through this existential stress will help me through the task-based stress that Lingers all the time but we will get there

[astroboots]

Hii it's theory anon again and let me tell you I got so happy and excited when I saw your response !!!! I'm literally kicking my feet and twirling my hair as I type this and think which of my theories might be right

And I'm so happy you liked my ask 💕 I love to pick apart little details in stories and I feel like eyem has so many little tips hidden in every chapter, it's like putting together a very big puzzle and I CANT wait until I've got the full picture

I was gonna wait until you've posted a new chapter to come here and scream about my conspiracy theories to you BUT last night I was thinking about the 11.5 special and I realized that nena and dr strange's interaction where they're discussing prices sure reminded me of cielito talking to the fortune teller and I swear I had an epiphany HSJSHD

So...what if dr strange was the fortune teller? Maybe he found a way for cielito to live but he knew miguel would never accept his help after what happened to Nena so he had to have a disguise?

I can't believe we have three chapters left!! I can't wait to know what happens but I'm also not ready for it to end 😭😭 I'm so anxious!! I need miguel and his cielito to be alright!! And trust me I can't wait until I finish reading the last chapter so you and I can discuss everything like two scholars

OH ALSO!! I remember that weeks ago, right after I finished reading the first chapter I came across a post and it made me think of eyem and it's possible endings so much I just had to save it!! I don't think I can send screenshots on anon but the post said "what if you loved me so much it literally undoomed me. What if I had so much faith in you it reshaped the narrative into a happy ending" and yea it really reminded me of miguel and cielito :') miguel loving cielito so much he's doing everything he can to save her :'')) cielito having so much faith on miguel she barely even thinks about what would happen if they fail :''''))))

THEORY NONNY!

OMFG your theories are so fucking amazing!!! 😍😍😍😍 I EFFIN LOVE THIS!!!

I love how much thought you put into this especially because I absolutely do put down hints in every chapter hoping, praying and begging someone will pick it up so I get such a burst of joy to see everything you've picked up and your interpretation of those clues!!!!

The Nena and Strange bargaining interaction!!! OMG! I love this theory so much it's so genius!! cannot wait for you to read chapter 14. please come back to me when i've posted it so we can discuss!!!

So it looks like we have four chapters left XD I decided to split the final chapter in two becaues it was getting so damn long lol.

Also that post omg omg that is such a perfect fit for the vibes. I AM LOVING THAT. it's so beautiful and so accurate to their characters because that's precisely their mindsets about the situation!! thank you so much lovely theory nonny.

i have (fortunately? unfortunately?) been getting into dndads recently. it's a fun time and ive been a fan of the story break/rocketjump ppl for a couple years now so as expected i am enjoying myself

here's my thoughts

anthony burch is a fucking legend. i want to shake his hand

by far the best recap segments of, like, any podcast i've listened to. i love a good public radio parody/song/documentary bit. reminds me of the unexplored places' microfiction bits they put in their episode descriptions which i ALSO adore

fun facts about the characters at the top of every episode? genius. helps put a name to a voice, helps characterize the pcs, very funny. no notes

outtake at the end of the credits is also good

i have real human emotions about grant wilson and the oak-garcia twins. i am predictable

i can feel my sense of humor degrading with every episode i listen to. dear god help me i need to watch something clever and well-thought out

[patriciavetinari]

It's been simmering in my head for a while now but since I thought of it for the first time, I cannot stop seeing it: the way diet industry is culturally ingrained is very political (obviously) but also very similar to xenophobia, but it's like xenophobia towards your own body.

I mean... One of the characteristics of fascism is othering yout enemy and making that enemy into an umpossible paradox, right? Foreigners are simultaneously stupid, lazy, here for our resources and at the same time they are so hardworking they are taking all of our jobs and so cunning they are controlling the media and brainwashing the kids etc. You've heard some version of this depending on which fascist is more active in your area.

So now think of the diet industry message about your body: it's too dumb to know the diffetence if you give it carrot sticks instead of chips but it's sadistically cunning in flaring up cravings for donuts the moment you try to 'be good'. I've heard people literally talk about their body as a separate entity with a separate free will and a mind of it's own, example: 'I am so determined to lose weight, I really want to live off steamed chicken and spinach, but my body will just sabotage me and make me eat bread and candy on day two of the diet...'

That is verbatim what I hear people say about their own body. Talk about it like some evil genius, like a competition, the other side of the chess board playing against you. An organism separate from your mind and brain, just unfortunately tied to yours.

And the message of diet industry is to subjugate this entity. Play chess against it until you checkmate it into slavery. And when your body is your slave, you will overwork it and underfeed it so it looks how you want it to look so you can show it off to other slaveowners and feel superior. And then diet industry has the audacity to wrap it all in self care and body positivity language. Making your slave work harder when it would rather rest is a triumph of will, feeding your slave things it doesn't want and witholding foods it actually requests 'for their own good' is being a good slaveowner. I don't know, the messages of 'celebrate your body and what it can do' have never sit quite right with me even though they mean well. Do we celebrate our minds or hearts or souls or emotions or brains? All other aspects that make up our existence and our Being? If course preoccupation with body is also the result of diet industry, but even celebrating our body separate from our Self I find is deepening this alienation, and we really should think about celebrating our whole self and recognize our body as part of Self, as the Same entity. I don't have enough philosophy knowledge to find right terms but I feel like we should address our fucked up view on both our self as individual organism and being, because I think that could help us with alienation we experience with others as collective and humans as species.

This is some moralistic bullshit and diet industry has fucked with peoples' heads to the point that they view their own body Not As Part of Self, this is what alienation truly is, and I think this is deeper and more serious on certain level than alienation from your labour or your community. If you don't think of your body as part of your Self, I feel like you'd be much less invested in your actual well-being. If you view your body and the labor it theoretically can peoduce as commodity you can decide to waste it away so that your Soul or your Mind or whatever you consider your Self is happy. You only get one slave per life but goddamit you will work it to death so that you as Slaveowner will be happy. That is also why I feel capitalism and fascism thrives with diet industry, it ingrains this idea that you should strive for control over other slaves, less fortunate than you. All of it works in tandem, as diet industry is built on the same ideals of control, hierarchy, subjugation as other forma of oppression, so of course those systems complement each other.

I don't know. I went deeper than I planned when I started to write this. But I think it's fucked up people see their body as a separate entity, whatever status they give that entity - slave, enemy, friend. It's You. It's all You. It's not separate friend or enemy, it's just you. It doesn't have its own mind or scheme or plan to ruin you, OR to help you particularly, it's an organism that functions in tandem with other parts of you, however you define them. It can be fucked up by life's experiences, diseases and disorders, it can be healed, fully or in parts, it can be trained, but it's still you, not a separate being.

DRS: Junko Enoshima

Okay, Junko, I guess this is gonna be a life-changing experience for the both of us then.

you've already subverted my expectations thrice and it's been a minute, you're doing amazing sweetie

so she stays super nice in first 3 events, with Aoi, Mahiru, Akane & Tenko and then there's some sort of relapse into despair, she was doing fine and now she brings up despair and being bored again, having mood swings, very forgot-her-meds behavior if I am honest

it puts her conversation with Makoto in context (yes, it's her 5th event, makes me wonder if it's even a part of Makoto's since it was at the end of his comp, after "My Future", she's unstable again and lashing out, he doesn't take it to heart, reassures her the best he can

she's just second guessing whether there's a hopeful future for her, for a moment she accepts Makoto's words, but thinks about it and takes a double take, assuming he's a bad judge of character, because she can't believe it right now

looks like she bounced back after talking with Makoto, she's kinda picking on Mondo, but it's friendly banter and backhanded compliments

maybe I am overanalyzing stuff, but I started thinking that maybe her conversation with Tenko and Akane was what set her off? They both told her that they're happy with simple concepts, good things are just good, but she isn't the type to be able to leave it at that

nobody does it like her

so Togami didn't go to the barbecue, hmm

queen, I think that's a depressive episode, try not to end the world during it

and her Potential of Talent is right after this, I am worried

yikes

they're talking about her burn out and Kaede has nothing helpful to say, but Junko is still being appreciative and finding a good side, she's trying so hard to be better *the pleading face emoji*

ok, so Shirokuma is fucking useless, conversation with Aoi was interesting, starting with the fact that she fished for the opinion without telling her anything, Junko really cares about her classmates, so I think she didn't want to worry her

how did it go from Ibuki complimenting their muscles to the 3 of the admitting they always think they could do more & better and nothing is enough

he called her Junkie

he also calls her dude at least trice, looks like she's really not going to let him read her fortune tho

the way she does fortunte telling at the festival makes me think she winged it, simply getting an idea because her last interaction was with Hiro, it's also nice that we do get to see his reaction

the interaction with Monaca is concerning, but her thought at the end makes me think that maybe she's just telling her what she wants to hear?

Kaito is so masc it makes him fire-resistant btw

Komaeda & Enoshima having a philosophical conversation about fire, what genius came up with it

so in the end I don't know why she gets the hope fragment, she says she'll hope to despair and that despair is her hope, but also wonders if she'll ever escape despair, so it's not true that she wants that as she told monokuma

she just feels like despair is her only option, no matter what the result is despair, so she tries to get back into it and enjoy it, she can tell that to monokuma, but she asks herself if she can escape

First posted on December 9-10, 2021 (twitter) Detailed notes below:

Introduction: She wants to what?! Junko chooses hope, hell froze over.

first event: Aoi Asahina

she was honest?! She legit warned Hina her swimsuit's strap was slipping

she choose her swimsuit "for laughs", in contrast of what's expected from her, it's a place to try new things/ones they normally wouldn't

yeah, Hina, like all of us, assumed Junko would wear something skimpy, "showing everything"

"I decided to subvert expectations" and you're doing it

She's funny, I think I'm in love

second event: Mahiru Koizumi

And she complimented Mahiru just like that

offering to pose for her in a professional setting

"and I am not just saying that, just FYI"

helping so willingly, making plans for the future, she's being so nice here

Someone you'd like to show those photos to, huh?

third event: Akane Owari & Tenko Chabashira

when Akane chews loudly at the start it looks like she's disgusted, or at least a little stunned before she comes up with a nice thing to say. "Agreed" to nothing being said "this island is full of great food"

Or maybe she's interpreting what Akane's saying with her mouth full, like Tenko thinks she does

"judging by the look on her face, I think I nailed it" She did! once again better than what I expected

glut-shame! squirelly! Those two are weirdos.

interesting convo about vocabulary and simple facts, feat. Tenko being gay. If something's good, it's good.

4th event: Kaede Akamatsu & Tsumugi Shirogane (With Swimsuits)

Kaede's "I have no words" reaction to Junko's swimsuit

this time she calls it despair-inducing, why?

she's quoting her mastermind reveal "How do you feel? Shocked? Betrayed? Disgusted?"

Tsumugi's "Surprised, yes!" Unphased. "Hifumi's reaction should be fun" oh no,

"let's place bets if he gets a nosebleed or passes out" Oh no.

"I've gotten your reactions and now I'm bored of it" uh oh

"I'd be despairingly out of place at the beach." uhhh

she stays at the pool bc that's what her swimsuit is meant for, might "hit the beach" tomorrow anyway

Tsumugi admits she finds Junko incomprehensible sometimes. Junko to that "you can never *fully* understand anyone"

(uh, that felt like a completely different team wrote that, whiplash)

fifth event: Makoto Naegi (his last event? it is.)

it's a direct follow-up here, after she swam in the pool, so it makes sense, she's acting the way she did with Kaede and Tsumugi, some sort of relapse, here she hints at why, with girls it was out of the blue, but to him she voices how she feels, that she wants to give up on her goal, doesn't believe there's a hopeful future for her

her double take on Makoto's words comes from her insecurities, at first she believes him and then deflates, it's easier to believe he's wrong at the moment

sixth event: Mondo Owada

he's yelling at WoH, apparently they hate him

"I know I look scary to kids, you don't gotta remind me" hmm

"you've gotta be more gentle with kids", yeah, you know how to handle WoH, I remember.

"Generational thing", I think she's vagueing at your hair, dude

she's picking on him, but no despair this far

"I thought you would say long biker jackets", ig points to him for the "people wear what they want" attitude

Are you complimenting him or bullying him?

he comments that she's acting like someone else and she tells him to forget it. A moment of vulnerability? No, didn't happen.

"the virtual reality is messing with my head" uh huh

seventh event: Toko Fukawa & Mikan Tsumiki

Tsumiki's happy to see Junko, Toko's upset about something so Junko asked about the gloomy mood

oh, she's annoyed to see Junko, says it with no hesitation, but that's Toko for you

Toko "everyone has bad mojo with someone", Junko "In your case, you probably have more bad mojo than good."

Toko bragging that she has one friend now. Smug about it!

"here I thought I was your friend, Toko" sounds like bull

"Of course you're my friend too, Mikan. Isn't it a nice thought, being friends with all your peers?" Mikan's happy at least

eighth event: Monaca Towa & Gonta Gokuhara

Monaca is telling Junko a story involving her big brother (yucky)

they don't want anyone overhearing so she stops when Gonta joins them

even bugs like Junko (and listen to her?)

ninth event: Buyakuya Togami

"I figured you'd be here" she was looking for him? No, but Toko was

"I told her you might be on the beach. So uh, heads up?" He's not having it.

so he's sulking alone at the beach while other boys are having barbecue

they're both pretending not to care, aren't they?

he doesn't allow himself to be teased, he leaves, the moment she's left alone boredom kicks in and so does despair, my girl is depressed.

Potential of Talent:

"New potential? For me, despair itself was everything."

all three options say "What was despair again?"

Kaede feeling bad for her bc she "got tired of the thing you enjoyed the most", she doesn't have advice, but Junko appreciates her listening and getting to talk about life like a normal high school girl

Shirokuma is completely unhelpful, Junko wonders if she's nothing now

Aoi compliments her swimming stamina too, you could be my rival, huh? Accidental insight, she wasn't asking here, but got her answer - somebody who lost things important to them ought to be different, Junko without despair is a different Junko

tenth event: Ibuki Mioda & Sakura Oogami

Junko is also athletic, which Ibuki compliments

all of them strive to always improve, never satisfied, trying to do more & better

eleventh event: Yasuhiro Hagakure

he wanted to read her future, Junkie, dude, but she wouldn't let him, she's scared of the future so she's forceful about that

Summer Festival: (opening a stall - fortune-telling)

-"You wanna know the future at such a young age?" (Monaca)

Junko fan nr 1, doesn't care about the future

if Junko says she'll despair, then she'll do anything to meet Junko's expectations

-"I wanna tell Kaede her future."

"this optimistic attitude might backfire on you, but keep being you"

Kaede's "that's what I do best"

"from the bottom of my twisted heart"?? Junko? ig she meant Kaede has a hopeful future and she'd like to see it, but why so gay

-"Oh? Is Yasuhiro here to check out his rival?"

it's Junky now, he's mad, can't compete with her

"my shaggy friend"

he wants her to tell him his future, she asks if there's any sense to that

he tells her he wants to hear of a debt-free future, she ends up not foretelling for him

Campfire: Are you afraid of fire? It's a pillar of humanity and a destructive force of nature.

Kaito thinks he's an exception to having to fear the fire and rables about space

Chiaki makes it about fire attacks in a game. Something can bring both hope and despair depending on what perspective you look at it from

Nagito, of course he is. Takes the opportunity to mention hope, "great danger, but a powerful ally", "a small price to pay for a life filled with hope" (about a little misfortune), she tunes him out after he says hope overcomes all

My Future... (with Monokuma)

Despair, so many options for despair, no matter what, it's despair

"Maybe this is what craving death is like. Death, the ultimate thrill... Or that's what I thought"

hope and despair are inseparable

people despair because they hope so she will hope as well, for despair.

End: "Will I ever be free from despair?"

[groondon-blog]

Fuck we're back. Alright. Okay. Sick. Okay, so I see a lot of people here talking about plurality, and I may have it? Idk, but the voices in my head do eventually get some form of consciousness if they can handle the pressure. Usually, it's just me and numerous screamers. I wonder why they scream. Anyway. I've had three that lasted a while and one that lasted years. I still miss her... Sometimes, I think about trying to bring her back, but it wouldn't be the same. So now I sit here with the loud voice. I do a pretty good job hiding it in person, but they come out easily through my art and writing. I don't know what causes them, but when the meds music and time all line up its quiet usually for about 10 minutes and in this time I get to plan out my day week month and years. I get a glimpse into who I really am despite the noise. Right now is one of those moments. Yesterday was not. I should figure out what content warning means. Nope, don't get distracted, yet this is your journal. Get down what you want before their back. Anyway, I like to call this version of myself who is clear and without limitations, The Genius. Hehe like Henya! Their the exact combination of all of my pieces without any limitations on my thinking capabilities. They're the one who was able to work around the medication I'm on to be able to think clearly again. They're the one able to get out of and handle the anxiety. I'd like to be them all the time, but their way of thinking is exhausting. Mentally, I mean. Very quickly, headaches roll in, my skin begins to crawl, and I begin to disassociate from myself quickly. It is all very dangerous for someone like me. Someone weak. Next topic! I went to my friends house and cosppayed astolfo! I've been wanting to do it for a while and lost 70lbs to look good. I was 280 and I've learnt that I could've cosplayed him then too. But I set a goal and I wore it out! I'll prolly post something where I do show my face. But now my meds make me really really hungry all of the time instead of before where I could eat now I eat all of the time. I've gotta pick a lane either massive weight loss or massive weight gain. The bulk or the cut that is the question. Whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take up arms against a sea of troubles. Oops my bad. Next! I had a dream last night and it wasn't a nightmare! This doesn't usually happen and when it does I can't remember them. But last night I dreamt that someone either on reddit or here asked me to draw something from a Kaif video. So I'm gonna go watch some and the draw whatever matches my dream I'll post it here. Next! I'm picking up Japanese again. Next! I'm struggling still woth the idea of getting bigger or smaller. The two I use as a frame of reference are Astolfo (5'4 135) and Barghest (6'2 260 lbs). Both extremes I know, but I'm a pretty hard worker sometimes. Especially if I want something. Astolfo would come as a result of better diet and a lot of cardio. Barghest would come as a result of a better diet but a lot of protein and some heavy lifting and sprinting. Also going for barghest could result in a buff astolfo plus I wanna start hrt sometime soon. All of that works. I think I'm gonna go for Barghest. I also think a demon who's a bottom fits me better than the extroverted lover. Anyway this is it for my post, I'm not dead yet! I love you!

[daisynik7]

I love this! thank you for the tag lourdes and thank you for including my ino fic on the list! 😭♥️ I've read a lot of amazing fics this year, and these are just ten that I can think of off the top of my head! this is in no particular order/ranking:

I love literally every piece of work that @bloompompom writes, but I am especially enthralled with her series gossip! right now. this has me by the fucking throat! the world building in this is incredible, every time I read a chapter, I'm transported into the world she created for us. it's a masterpiece.

DTF series by @mochimooon, this one was so much fun to read omg! I always started each chapter with a giant smile on my face, then at the end, I was screaming with how hot the smut was! each chapter features a different aot man and it truly opened my eyes to characters I never really thought much about. so much love for this series and for this writer.

How It'll Be by @kentomilk. This is such a healing piece especially after such a heavy JJK season (Shibuya arc who, I don't know her). It's tender, sweet, full of love, and beautifully written. It made my love for Nanami grow larger , if that was even possible. this writer is also very dear to me and I know she put her heart into this, and it truly shows. It's an absolutely stunning piece of art.

Good Grief by @crazychaoticizzy, an epic Erwin x f!reader series that has me captivated! It is insanely well written and has me on a rollercoaster of emotions for our characters. Truly an amazing piece of work.

Infiltration by @pseudowho, a Nanami series that has me in a fucking chokehold! It's sexy, romantic, thrilling, action-packed with a bit of mystery. Haitch is an amazing writer who has created an incredible story that has us all at the edge of our seats. Amazing work.

@todorosie's Kinktober this year was INSANE. JJK in the Barbieverse?!?! Already a genius idea, but the execution was top notch. Sorin is so creative and insanely talented, October was a fabulous month thanks to her.

stress relief by @whatthefucksatan, I remember reading this when I first started getting curious about choso and this piece right here fully converted me into a choso girlie, and I haven't looked back since. ☺️

I love all of @jadeee's work but right now, I'm thinking about Coworker!Nanami! this one had me giggling and kicking my feet up in the air. The fortune teller got me, GOT ME GOOD. this is so so cute.

she misses me by @mrsackermannx. boyfriend!Ino, BOYFRIEND!INO!!! there's phone sex and the sweetest boyfriend ever calling us a little needy puppy, of course I'm obsessed with this! had me barking when I read it a few months ago, and I still am now.

bites n' scratches by @demonwoman is the last fic I read in 2023 and it truly ended the year with a bang. guard dog kishibe and black cat reader, I love this concept!! it's relatable, endearing, and very sweet.

The Oracle [B.B.]

Pairing ● Bucky Barnes and Witch!reader

Summary ●The Avengers meet one of the newest recruits at one of Tony’s infamous parties. She isn't quite what they expected especially when she sees a vision of her and Bucky's future.

Warnings ● Anxious!reader, fluff, mentions of past trauma, puns, an assemble cast (it's like Friends but better), alcohol consumption, use of alcohol to calm one’s nerves, a typical meet-cute and soulmates trope because I am an actual whore for that

A/N ● Requests are open!

When Wanda described the Avengers Tower to you, you never in a million years you would step foot in it. You also never thought in a million years you would become an Avenger. It’s funny how life works out that way in the most unexpected ways. Usually, when Tony throws parties, it would be for charitable events or celebrating a massive accomplishment he achieved. Tonight, on the other hand, he was celebrating all the new recruits, yourself included.

“Ya know this is a mistake.” You whispered to Wanda as you both stood in the elevator waiting to reach your floor. She huffed out a breath and playfully rolled her eyes.

“Now, why do you say that?” She insisted, her attention and focus being set on you.

“I don’t know. I just feel unqualified compared to people like Thor and fucking Captain America, who are now my colleagues, by the way.” You reminded her justly. You always underestimate yourself. It was a simple fact, and doubt dwelled in your soul as your nerves flared.

Wanda shook her has slightly. “Stop that, Y/N. Why do you do this?” Her tone filled with disdain.

“Do what?” You asked, your tone almost on the verge between combative and facetious.

“Doubt yourself. You’re worthy enough of being here and if you’re concerned you’re not, just ask Thor.” Wanda teased. You heard the faint ding! from the opening of the elevator doors as she strode out with ease. She gave you a wink and your face turned bright red in anger.

Is she fucking kidding me?

You were almost positive steam was blowing through your ears like a whistling teapot.

“Are you trying to be funny Maximoff?” A beat passes, with distant giggles being heard on the other end of hall.

“Get back here!” You screamed, as you marched behind her, in a rush fueled by frustration. Your vision tunneled as it focused on the the snarky redhead you wanted to catch in your clutches. Without noticing, you felt a strong hand halt you from moving any further, before you looked up you could sense his presence. Tony fucking Stark. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.

God, good going.

“Woah, kid. You’re gonna blow a fuse.” He remarked, as you locked eyes with his. This wasn’t the first time you had met Mr. Stark. You had the fortunate opportunity to go out to lunch on SHIELD’s dime with him and Director Fury.

“So you’re an observer?”

“You can say I have a nack for seeing things others are too blind to notice.”

A grin was realized on his face as your emotions were settling down. A deep sigh was released. Like Banner, he didn’t want to be on the receiving end of your rage. “Oh, Mr. Stark!” You could feel your hands clutched to his chest. Immediately, you moved them, panic overseeing you.

“Tony, please.” You chuckled as you rubbed the back of your neck.

“I see why Wanda and Pietro recommended you. You look very nice this evening.” A small smile began to reside on your lips. You weren’t sure if he talking about your magical abilities or you being quick to anger, but you weren’t going to ask. You glanced down at your attire for the evening. You didn’t want to overdress for tonight but you wanted to look impressive. You wanted to be impressive.

Especially because it seemed at the most inopportune time, your powers were on the fritz. You weren't getting clear messages and it made your mind feel like it was filled with white noise. You tried to weed through the smoke and haze, sorting through many failed attempts grasping at straws for something. Anything.

“Thank you Mr. Star- Tony.” You stuttered as he lead the way to the common area.

“Don’t be nervous, alright. It’s not like you’re attending one of my galas. This is going to super lowkey celebration, before you and others have start putting in the hard work.” He advised as both of you stepped in the common area. You noticed an elongated bar, pool tables, chase lounges, and a picturesque view of Manhattan. It was exquisitely rich. That’s the only word you could think of, you admired all the partygoers. Most of them you recognized from TV and were astonished to see before you. Flashes of images passed through your visions and whispers filled your ears: “He is awaiting.”

"Yes sir." You nodded your head, almost a little dazed by the stimulation. It was jumbled, your thoughts and what was incoming and outgoing. You continued to follow Tony’s lead, your steps trailing weakly behind him.

"Hey Nat! Get one of our newest recruits one of your signature drinks." She nodded her head as she playfully rolled her eyes. Within a flash, Tony was gone, set to mingle with other Avengers, your eyes peered up at the intimidating red head assassin before you. You could yourself audibly gulp as you gathered the courage to speak to her.

"Uh- so your the bartender tonight, Agent Romanoff?" You offered, as she shook a cocktail and strained it over ice.

"Of sorts," Nat chuckled, you could see her pouring a few different choice fruit juices and rum. "So, what's your story? Wanda was telling me about you briefly."

“Well, I’m an oracle.” Nat squinted her eyes and tweaked her head. You heard a small huh leave her lips.

“You’re of great power, milady!” A firm pat was felt on your back, it felt like it almost shot lighting through your spine. Your eyes widened as Thor embraced you in a bear hug.

Holy shit it’s the God of Thunder.

“Oh my God.” You muttered as you struggled to breathe.

“Why yes I am, I’m Thor.” He exclaimed as he released you. Your face was the definition of frazzled. You felt like you were on an episode of Punk’d and where the hell is Wanda when you need her?

“Oh I know.” You chuckled, your eyes never left Thor’s. You felt this strange aura over you, despite your anxiety over meeting a God and an assassin. And those are now your coworkers! You did you best to pinpoint it. You felt lost and insecurity overwhelm you, but vengeance and destruction tried to mask it over. The feeling overtook you almost as everything in the present escaped you. It took Thor to snap his fingers to help regain your focus to the here and now, “You are Wanda’s friend, yes?” You nodded quickly, “You can predict the future.” His eyes brightened.

“Nonsense.” Loki intruded. His tone very assertive and sure of himself.

Of course. You fucking knew it.

“If this Midgardan can predict the future, settle a bet. Who really becomes King of Asgard?” He gestured between Thor and himself and all you could do was huff as you chug the rest of your cocktail. “You got anything stronger than this, Nat?” She nodded her and went to work.

“Oh I do!” Thor offered as he pulled out a pint of Asgardian ale. “Just a sip, don’t need ya to get too fuzzy headed.” He advised you as he offered his bottle that was toted in a woven leather case. You were hesitate. Typically you wouldn’t turn to alcohol to relieve your issues but with your anxiety and how jumbled your mind was, you didn’t see another choice available at the moment. This was a one time thing, you reminded yourself.

“Too late.” You snickered as you took a swig, you wanted to take more but heeded his warning. You weren’t ready to find out the hard way of what Asgardian ale could do to you or how you would receive your visions.

“Steve, I don’t want to do this.” Bucky whined as he entered Steve’s bedroom. Steve looked up and noticed his best friend’s droopy expression and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Why not?” He asked as he finished buttoning up his shirt.

“Because first of all, I’m not the smooth talker that dames went after in the 1940s still.” He insisted. It made Bucky nervous, the status of being an avenger was overwhelmingly a lot. He likes to hypothesize that before Hydra he could handle it, but afterwards? With the trauma, nightmares and insecurity? Not a chance. It weighed on his shoulders and was a constant reminder, especially during events like this.

“You’re still Bucky.” Steve stated, as he looked Bucky directly in the eye “And besides, it’s just a meet and greet for the new recruits. They will be way more nervous than you.”

Bucky shrugged and sighed at the statement. Of course, Stevie had to say that. He was his best pal after all.

“C’mon, please.” Steve begged. “Fine. Since you begged and pleaded for my presence, I’ll go, but it doesn’t mean I’ll like it.” He complied, his tone filled with aggravation.

“That’s the spirit!” Steve cheered as he patted his best friend on the back. Bucky rolled his eyes. He really deserved a freaking drink.

“Whatever Captain.”

Both boys arrived at Tony’s soirée, it wouldn’t be honestly to say they were both excited but it would be interesting to see and meet the new recruits. By the time, they had arrived you were definitely on the more calmer side, thanks to Thor’s Asgardian ale. Thor, Nat, Wanda and you were all sitting on the chase lounges discussing your abilities when both Steve and Bucky approached you.

“So you can foresee the future?” Nat asked, intrigued as her chin rested on the palm of her open hand. Her legs were crossed and she gazed at you with patient intent.

“Yeah, I can. Don’t tell the boss this, but I’ve been having a hard time honing in and pinpointing my visions better. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on.”

“Don’t tell the boss what?” Steve interjected, making his appearance known to the group.

“Oh, nothing Steve! One of your newest recruits is being a pessimist again. I’ve seen her in action. She’s super talented, trust me.”

“I do, Wanda.” A beat passes, as his focus shifted to you. You could swear you could hear yourself audibly gulp. Vomiting seems like a valid solution to the bubbling restlessness in your stomach but if you vomited on Captain America, you would might as well evaporate forever. “Hi, I’m Steve Rogers.” He extended his hand out towards you. You took it in good conscience as you attempted to hold it together.

“Nice to meet you Captain.” You replied meekly.

“Oh, and this is Sergeant Barnes. But you can call him Bucky.” Bucky trailed behind him and peered up at you. His eyes soften just briefly as he took in your form. You were breathtaking. Your face contorted as you tried to gather your thoughts. The brooding super soldier you once only read about and saw on TV screen didn’t seem as intimidating as he usually was.

You heard a voice, small in the back of your mind. Beckoning for your attention, “God you leave me breathless", whisper almost in your ear it seemed. A shiver was felt slithering down your spine.

“What’s that look for?” Bucky quipped as a smirk appeared on his face.

You made eye contact with his sea blue irises. “Oh nothing, just trying to read your mind, oh mysterious one.” You jested as you gleamed up at the brunette super-soldier. His slight smirk dissipated.

“Please don’t.” He mumbled as he stared down at his feet which seemed a lot more enjoyable at the moment. Anxiety swelled over him. You nodded understandingly, not wanting to scare Bucky off. You knew Bucky used to be under Hydra’s control and you didn’t want to feel like you were also contributing to the loss of his autonomy. 

“Ah Buck, she’s just messin." Steve paused for a brief moment as a flash on concern was seen on his face. "Right?”

“Right, Steve." You giggled at the concern. It made sense why Wanda picked you as a recruit. You had an alluring presence that was almost haunting. It was riveting for Bucky to wrap his mind around that someone like you existed so simply. He was just getting used to being back in the 21st century. Add magic?

It’s like The Hobbit come to life, and Bucky wasn’t sure if he was prepared with confirming that was possible.

“I’m sorry if I worried you, Bucky.” You whispered, your voice laced with sincerity. He chuckled at your apology. Bucky knew you didn't mean it and he needed to be more open-minded to that.

“Hey, doll. It’s okay.” His fingers caressed your shoulder. You felt a shock flare into your nervous system. Flashes of visions came bright and bold like daydreams. They weren’t disheveled or rushed like before, it was clear and crisp much like watching a film before your eyes. You were seeing your future, with him.

“Here ya go doll, gotta protect that pretty little head.” The brunette super soldier, Bucky Barnes, was fastening a helmet to your head. You were perched up in the back of his motorcycle. Bucky always says you were meant to be on the back of his bike, arms laced around his waist , exploring the world. He knocked on it twice to make sure it was secure. Or that’s what he always told you, “Can’t have this flying anywhere. Don’t know what I would do.” He leaned down to kiss the tip of your nose. You hummed in adoration.

“Thank you, Mr. Barnes.” A grin spread across your lips. How could you have gotten so lucky?

“Of course, Mrs. Barnes.” You glanced down at the diamond ring on your left hand. It was gleaming in the Hawaii sun rays. It was breathtaking. You giggled, hearing your new last name filled you with pride and happiness. “God I don’t think I’m gonna get used to that.” You whispered.

“Oh really? Can’t believe my blushing bride has become my dazzling wife. You’re so perfect, sweetheart. Don’t think I can get enough of you.” Bucky captivated you in a sensual kiss that made it feel as if time stood still. He carressed your cheek and you felt light kisses being peppered on your face. You hummed

“You’re such a flirt, Mr. Barnes.”

“Only for you, Mrs. Barnes.”

Your knees buckled and as if on instinct Bucky went to brace you from your fall. You tucked your body into him. “Hey, hey. You alright, doll?”

“Oh. My. God.” You felt yourself panting, trying to regain your composure. “I can’t believe it.” You mumbled against his chest.

Your body tensed against his hold. You looked up into his crystalline blue eyes and wanted to dive right in. His eyebrow quirked up questioning the nonsense you were muttering, as if you were possessed you crashed your lips into his. Bucky's eyes widen in shock at your movements. He barely knew your name let alone who you were, but it didnt seem like he really care. Since he met you saw an ease, a comfort in you, and as terrifying as it was, he wanted to embrace it undoubtedly. He didn't understand why. You just seemed so tempting to not brush away.

After a few moments, which felt like an eternity, you came to your sense and pushed away. Your lips felt like they were tingling.

"I'm-I'm so sorry." You whispered, your body begun to shake. Before Bucky could muster a response, your eyes darted to his and to the crowded forming around you both, gawking and whispering. You dashed without a moment's notice, trying to save yourself the embarrassment.

Bucky stood there, motionless. He wanted to chase after you, but he remembered truly and beyond anything else, you didn't know you. He wanted to though. With a kiss like that, it sealed a thousand fates and ignored all the resenting notions in his mind telling him to let you go. He decided to chase the beautiful stranger to the ends of the earth.

He gave Steve a look, one only they would understand the language behind. "Alright, carry on now and that's an order." Immediately almost, it seemed everyone went on with their business.

Bucky gave Steve a nod of gratitude as he slipped out the back. He was going to find you.

You felt everything. Your abilites seemed almost super charged as your rushed out of Stark Tower in the rain. Bucky? Your soulmate? You had never had a vision of yourself before this impactful. It scared you. You were attempting to hail a cab when you heard him call out to you.

"Doll!" The rain was sputtering due to the high winds and his cheeks were rosy red from running to find you. You could hear him panting as his eyes gleamed once they met yours.

"Hi, Bucky. I'm so incredibly sorry." You were frantic as you words were tumbling out as your nerves were racing. “Don’t be.” He mumbled as he crashed his lips on to yours again. Bucky relished in the fact he was tasting you again. He thought for a moment he never would. It was a revelation in the highest degree.

Once you both broke for air, you questioned, “Why did you do that?”

“Because I’m trusting my gut for once, and my gut said to run after you so I’m listening.” He breathed against your lips. You chuckled, and Bucky quirked his eyebrow. “You’re not gonna believe this-“

“Try me.”

“I saw a vision, a vision of us, of our future.” You stated.

“You did?”

“Yeah, I’m a witch, an oracle, I foresee people’s future and give prophetic insight, among other things.” You explained. Bucky nodded along to you. “What did you see?” He needed to know, he couldn’t take the curiosity anymore, it was killing him.

“Are you sure you wanna know?” You were hesitant, you really liked Bucky but telling him everything you saw? Oh, that was going to screw it up.

“After you kissed me like that? Yeah I kinda wanna know, doll.” You giggled at his persistence, he was charming, that’s for sure.

“Well, it was a vision of our honeymoon,” Bucky’s eyes widen. You could see the raindrops rivet down his cheeks. His breath picked up. “Our honeymoon?���

“Yeah, I don’t want this was thing to intimidate you Bucky. I don’t want to feel like you have to be with me.” You insisted. But Bucky didn’t feel intimidated he relished in your happiness. He was ready to embrace the idea of you. “What else did you see?”

“Well we were in Hawaii for our honeymoon, and I was on the back on your motorcycle. We were flirting and making out before we started to explore. I couldn’t get over the fact of happy I was married to you and you felt the same way. Being called Mrs. Barnes made me feel all fluttery on top of seeing my wedding ring. It felt so real and I loved that. Even though I realize at this moment I really don’t know you that well at all, but I want to especially if that’s what I have to look forward to. And if that’s what you want to of course.” You explained, your gaze never leaving his.

“So that’s what our future is going to be like? You, as my beautiful bride, on the back of my Harley?” You nodded. “Well I suggest we should get a jump start on getting to know each other.” He took your hand in yours, and a wide smile spread across your lips.

“So are you free tomorrow night?”

A messy thing where Severus gets justice

I need catharsis.

I crave a very specific fic and it doesn’t magically appear.

So in the end I wrote it myself.

So yes, an over indulgent words vomit where Albus is a fucking decent man and steps up for the victim of sexual abuse.

Or:

Albus punishes the Marauders and helps Severus. Also GGAD.

-James and Sirius-

So, Headmaster Dumbledore called Sirius, James and Remus to this office.

Oh, that’s perfectly normal, they are in detention a week on a week off. Such miscreants, they are. Rules don’t apply to them.

So, here they are, maybe they will get another inspiring speech about showing a good example for the other less fortunate students.

So.

They enter, joking.

Oh, Snivellus is here, Oh well. What’s the matter now?

Albus looks at them. And if they had any self-awareness, they would be quiet, if nothing else. But they never were held responsible for anything. So they just smile their cocky charming smile.

The Headmaster starts with some questions. Like if they know why they were convocated and such.

The Gryffindors make some joke answers, and laugh at their jokes. Severus flinches, but nobody notices it (Albus notices it).

Dumbledore asks about the day before.

Oh yeah, the funniest genius prank.

Just some roughing up between boys, you know?

They will behave. For a while, at least!

The Headmaster looks at them. A beat. Then something starts showing in the air, like dark grey clouds. Fascinating, it’s like a moving photo. Oh, it’s a memory.

A memory about Snivellus upside down while James and Sirius are taking his undies off.

Albus dissolves the memory.

“Do you have anything to say about it?”

James does, actually.

“it was just a good laugh!”

Dumbledore’s blue eyes become icy, hard, and unforgiving.

“You deeply disgust me.”

They flinch, like they were leashed at.

The Headmaster looks at them again. It’s unreadable like a statue.

“Mr. Potter. Mr. Black. You are being charged with accuse of sexual abuse against Severus Snape. Mr. Black, you are also charged with attempted murder. Your families have just got notified, the Aurors are here to arrest you.”

The two boys start protesting, but the door opens, the Aurors come and bind them, while they are screaming and kicking and swearing their families will never accept this.

But Dumbledore just refuses to look at them and he doesn’t answer, and they get dragged away. The whole school will see them getting dragged away by Aurors.

-Remus-

Severus and Remus are speechless.

Dumbledore isn’t.

“Mr. Lupin. You let a schoolmate being sexually abused. With your active decision to let it continue, you deeply shame your prefect medal. I must order you to return it to me, you are not worthy of it. You betrayed the trust I had placed on you.”

Remus moves slowly, like he can’t believe it isn’t a nightmare.

“I am sorry…”

“Did you ever apologize to Mr. Snape?”

Shame. Blush. Eyes down.

“I thought so. Only him can accept your apology, Mr. Lupin. Please return to your dormitory, tomorrow we will have lots to discuss concerning your punishment and corrective measures.”

-Severus-

Then Dumbledore looks at Severus. Severus looks at him as if he had never seen him before.

“I am sorry for what you had to suffer in this school. I am deeply ashamed for not having intervened in time. I do not expect you to accept my apology, but I hope you will let me help you heal.”

Nobody has ever said these words to Severus. Nobody.

“What you had to suffer has broken adult wizards and witches. But you are not alone. There are people, doctors, therapists who can help you. Yes, muggle therapists. Wonderful men and women, I sometimes visit them and I really recommend their services.”

He looks at Severus, and it’s not disgust, it’s not pity, it’s compassion. It’s like rain after the desert.

“My office is always open for you, Severus. Please feel free to owl me anytime.”

Is it a dream?

“You didn’t deserve anything that has happened to you, Severus. You didn’t deserve to be threatened, humiliated, molested. I am so sorry for all of this. You have so much to offer the world, Severus, you have so much potential inside you. The fact that you went on in spite of your hardships is admirable. But you don’t have to do it alone anymore.”

It’s perhaps the best thing that has ever happened to Severus. It’s the best thing any adult has ever done for him. It’s confusing. It’s overwhelming.

Severus starts crying.

And Headmaster Dumbledore, instead of mocking him, or shaming him, just looks at him kindly. Then he looks away, and there are tears in his eyes too.

“Severus!” It’s Lily, running towards him.

She wants to happen what happened to the Gryffindors, of course.

Severus tells her. They are accused of sexual abuse and are in custody.

Lily speaks again, thirsty for particulars.

Severus speaks, too, and it’s a sort of out-of-the-body experience.

“Lily. I am deeply sorry for having used that word. I am ashamed of myself, I shouldn’t have done it and it will never happen again.”

A deep breath.

“But. You left me alone. You left me alone while everyone was laughing at my underwear. You let them sexual abuse me. You don’t have to forgive me for what I did. But I don’t think I will ever forgive you, for leaving me when I needed help. And you didn’t even apologize to me. You are not sorry. I don’t think we can continue being friends. I need time to reflect, at least.”

And Severus leaves, and Lily shouts his name, and it’s damn hard, but he doesn’t turn back.

And… for the first time in forever, Severus feels something like strength. He would have never thought it would happen, but now he looks forward to the appointment with the Headmaster.

-Albus-

After consoling Severus and offering him some rare potions to help him for the night (tomorrow they have to discuss the therapy plans, both magic and muggle ones), Albus goes out.

It has been weeks. He was so very busy.

But then, here he is. Nurmengard.

The prison is empty, as usual, save his only prisoner.

Nobody can enter, nobody can go out. The prison only recognizes his master.

Gellert is awake, waiting for him, maybe he had a vision about this visit, too.

His mismatched eyes are kind, and it’s all Albus needs now.

They are entangled in a hug, and Albus cries.

After a while, Gellert takes him to the sofa, and listens to him. To everything.

Albus confesses his faults. Confesses ignoring an assassination attempt of a boy he was responsible for. They are sexual abusers in his school and he wasn’t aware of them. Shameful.

And then the two guilty ones get dragged away by Aurors. And then the eyes of young Severus so startled, as if no one ever tried to help him before.

Gellert listens. Asks questions. Nods.

And in the end:

“Why, Albus? Why did you intervene now, and not before?”

“Ariana. Those terrible muggle boys. We never understood what they did to her, but sometimes she talked with me and said something about being forced to… They laughing while she cried and begged. I couldn’t, Gellert. I really couldn’t.”

Gellert pets him, and there is so much kindness in this man capable of cruelty and atrocities, Gellert is a real contradiction, always has been, always will be. Albus loves him so much.

“I fooled myself. I was so sure I was giving another chance to wayward boys, arrogant but good boys with bright future. But I was just a coward. I didn’t want to face the truth: that boys who are brilliant, handsome, popular, that boys whom I personally appreciate could be unreasonably cruel and unforgivingly violent.”

He hides his face between his hands.

“I failed”

“Hush, my dear, what is the use of your self-pity? You failed. But you can do better, now. You’ve already started doing it. My strong, courageous, wise, sometimes mislead Albus.”

They kiss. They cuddle together. They also go to bed and find rest and pleasure.

And then it’s morning.

Albus is ready to leave, to enter again into the world Gellert was exiled from because of his actions. It’s ok. Gellert understands.

They kiss goodbye, and then

“Be strong for Severus, will you? Help him?”

“Of course. Always.”

End

Notes!

Justice for Severus 2k22.

In this idea, Gellert isn’t a prisoner in an empty room (which frankly won’t help heal and understand and mature a bit), but he lives in his castle. He has the means to reflect and understand the wrongness of his actions. Albus often goes to visit him (another thing very healthy for prisoners) and they are a couple.

Yes, Severus will heal, James and Sirius will pass years in Azkaban, and Lily won’t marry a sexual offender but Harry will still be born, you decide who are the parents!

Last, Albus once upon a time told Tom that using magic to hurt people was neither “taught nor tolerated” at Hogwarts and that people could get expelled and the Ministry could punish them severely. Oh, if only it was true.

Pairing: Corpse Husband x Fem! Reader

Summary: Sean invites one of his good friends - Y/N - to play with him and the group. She has a lot of fun with them, but at the same time is too oblivious, too nice, and too pure to notice that one particular Among Us player has taken a liking to her the moment he heard her voice...

Notes: Hello everyone! This is the very first time I’m publishing something bigger in here, I’m honestly still figuring out how Tumblr works, even though I’ve had this account for quite some time now 😅. That being said, please don’t expect anything super impressive. I tried my best though just so you know. 🥺

A/N- It didn’t turn out as I expected, but I really hope at least some of you find it enjoyable :(

Y/C/N - your channel name

PURE [1]

“Did you guys find anybody?” Felix asked, as the number of players still showed just 7 of them. They could just start now, but the game would be way more fun with a full lobby. 

“Yeah, Lily’s joining. I just texted her the code, so she should be here at any moment.” Sykkuno replied after receiving a text message from the said girl. “Oh, and Corpse also said he’d be joining soon.” 

“Great. Anyone else?”

 “I think Jack was also bringing someone, right?” Dave asked.

“Huh? Oh yeah, I have one coming, she’ll join us in a few” the asked man replied at the same moment Lily’s character appeared in the lobby. 

“Who you’re bringing Jack?” 

“Y/N” he said, causing Felix to gasp in shock and yell into his mic:

“How the fuck did you manage to convince her? I’ve been bugging her about this game for the past week and she always had some excuse!” 

“What can I say, my charm is irresistible” Jack replied nonchalantly, causing everyone in the lobby to laugh at his fake deep voice.

The number of participants changed to 9, as a little black astronaut with horns on his helmet appeared in the lobby. 

“Corpse, you’re here!” Rae’s character ran up to the man, circling him excitedly. 

“Hey man!”

“What’s up, Corpse?”

“Hello everyone” his deep voice sounded out “Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“All good man, we’re still waiting for one person.” Felix reassured him “Sean, why is she not here yet? Are you sure you’ve sent her the right code?”

“Of course I am!” he all but shouted at Felix “And about that, she just texted me to give her a few more minutes and that we should start without her.”

“We can just wait, right?” Lily offered, earning a few hums of approval from the others.

“I think it might take a little longer than a few minutes, she has some problems with her microphone.”

“Who are you guys talking about?” Corpse asked, completely unaware of who Jack was referring to.

“Wait, Jack, you mean Y/N from Y/C/N?” Sykkuno asked suddenly, only then realizing why this name sounded familiar

“Yeah, the one and only” Jack replied, a smile evident in his voice.

“Oh my god, I love her videos!” Rae exclaimed at that “She’s so funny and sweet!”

“Yeah! Her new video is so freaking cute, I wish she’d upload more often.” Poki agreed. 

“Right?” Jack said, clearly very proud of his friend. “But don’t let that sweet demeanor fool you guys cause she’s one of the best players I’ve encountered in this game.”

“That’s true, she’s a secret big brain genius” Toast confirmed, making Pewdiepie gasp once again. 

“wHAT??YOU TWO PLAYED WITH HER?!” Felix’s offended voice boomed through everyone’s headphones “HOW DARE YOU. HOW COULD YOU NOT INVITE ME?!” 

“That’s for not inviting me to your latest Cringe episode!” Jack was quick to respond, making others in the lobby laugh at their mini fight. 

“Oh, so that’s where I recognized her from!” Sykkuno nearly shouted when he finally put two and two together. “I can’t wait to meet her, she seems like a really nice person.”

“She is! When she got impostor for the first time she refused to kill me” Toast explained, earning himself a couple of Aww’s from his friends. “So we just ran around the emergency button until I called the meeting and voted her off.”

“Yeah, only to be her first victim in the next game.” Jack all but giggled, clearly very amused at the memory of Y/N going into a full berserk mode. No one except for him and Toast knew how good she really was at this game... 

“She’s basically the wolf in sheep’s skin” Felix concluded with a chuckle “Very soft wolf, however.”

“She’s like the complete opposite of Corpse, both in voice and personality” Jack suddenly said, making Felix laugh wholeheartedly at something only two of them understood at the moment. 

“I don’t know how should I take that” Corpse admitted with a chuckle. He remained silent for most of the conversation since he didn’t really know who the guys were talking about. But he would lie if he said he wasn’t intrigued by this girl at least in the slightest. Although he heard about her channel, he hasn’t seen any of her videos, so he didn’t really know what to expect. But hearing what gamers like Sean and Felix said about her, he knew he’s not gonna be disappointed once the girl joins them in the game. 

“Imagine Corpse and Y/N talking.” Felix said suddenly with a seemingly very amused voice.

“Imagine Corpse and Y/N both being Impostors” Toast said, which resulted in many of them shouting over each other at how crazy that would be. 

“Alright, now that you mention this I start fearing the moment two of them meet” Jack confessed with loud laughter following the sentence. Corpse chuckled deeply under his breath, at the same time glancing at the questions his audience was asking him in his stream. He could hardly read any, as there were quite a lot of people asking, so all he saw was just a bunch of comments moving at the speed of light in his chat. He wouldn't say it out loud, but he was slightly nervous, seeing the growing number of people watching his stream. It was still a rather new thing to him, and he feared he'd say something inappropriate, or just make a complete idiot out of himself. 

"At least no one can see me..." he mumbled under his breath after muting his microphone. 

"Oh! Y/N just texted me! She's joining the call right now!" 

"Fuck yeah!" Felix shouted excitedly "Just so you know Jack, I won't forget that you two played without me."

"Uh-oh. Is that a threat? Are you threatening me now?" 

"It's a warning" Felix replied, receiving a series of gasps from other players. "If I get impostor, you're the first one on my list."

"Okay, everyone heard that! You know who to vote off when I'm dead!" 

"It's so cool to play with someone new, I wonder if she's as good as you guys depict her" Sykkuno spoke up, but before anyone could answer his question, a new character popped up in the lobby.

*** 

"Hi everyone! I’m sorry I left you just like that, but this stream would be completely useless without me being able to answer your questions. Fortunately it wasn’t anything serious, I just had to readjust my mic and go through the settings to find what was wrong. Took some time, but here I am now!” Y/N chirped into her microphone, smiling apologetically at her webcam. At the moments like this, she really appreciated how supportive her audience was. No one was hating on her when she had to get off the stream for a couple of minutes, and everyone was just so understanding that it made her heart melt. Perhaps her audience wasn’t very big, but it felt almost like a second family to her. 

“Anyway, as you already know from my twitter, today I’ll be playing Among Us with my friends and their friends! I can’t wait if I’m being honest, last time I played this game was so much fun, and there was only a few of us.” she admitted with a genuine smile on her face. “Let’s just text Sean now so we can get into the lobby...”

Y/N: Ready to play with you guys ^^

Jackaboy: Great! You got that mic fixed already? 

Y/N: Yes, everything is fine. I’m sorry you had to wait so long.

Jackaboy: It’s all good kiddo, no worries. I’ll call you and send you the code in a sec. 

Y/N: Perfect, thank you Sean :)

Jackaboy: Btw, everyone can’t wait to meet you ;-)Y/N stared at the screen for a moment, only now, seconds before joining the group, realizing how nervous she felt. From Sean’s tweets she saw earlier, she figured that the lobby was right now full of many famous streamers, those she wouldn’t even compare herself to. It’s not that she thought of herself very low, but... being among such youtube celebrities like them made her panic a little bit. She didn’t want to look like a complete fool amongst them. 

Playing or recording with Sean and Felix was something else because she knew those guys for years (and yet still sometimes found herself thinking how lucky she got to be able to call them her friends). She felt good in their company, not worrying about choosing the right words. But amongst the rest of the players, she knew only Toast and talked with Rae maybe once in her life... 

What if the rest won’t like her? 

Y/N cleared her throat, realizing that she was still staring at her phone like hypnotized and her audience was already asking her what’s going on. She quickly typed in the code Sean had texted her and readjusted her headphones, before joining the discord chat.

“THERE SHE IS” screamed Sean, making her grin from ear to ear, hearing how excited he was “Little wonderchild!”

“I think you meant little TRAITOR” Felix corrected him with a scoff. A silence settled in the lobby as everyone was waiting for Y/N to speak up.

“Um... hello everyone..” she said softly, almost inaudibly, a sudden wave of shyness taking over her. “I’m Y/N” 

“Oh, you were right about that Corpse thing!” replied another, also very soft and very sweet voice, and Y/N saw the image of someone named Lily pop up. “It’s like the exact opposite!” 

“See? Told ya. Everyone, meet Y/N/N, the little angel from Y/C/N.” 

“Hey Y/N!”

“Hi there!”

“Hey, what’s up?”

“H-Hi, so great to meet you, Y/N!” a very friendly sounding voice said, and a little lime astronaut with the name Sykkuno above it started running around her. “Can’t wait to play with you!”

“That’s so nice, thank you” she replied with a wide smile on her face, moving around his character as well. “I can’t wait to play with you too, actually with all you guys. It’s so great to be here with you.”

“Jack I swear she’s the cutest little thing I’ve ever heard. Where the hell did you find her?!” Poki all but yelled at the man, making Y/N giggle to herself and in-process loosen up a little bit. They all seemed like someone she’d happily be friends with. 

“Or rather, where do you get one?” someone else commented, making them all burst into laughter, Y/N included. 

“Guys, what did I say about that sweet demeanor...” Jack said after calming down from his fit “Don’t put your guard down just because she sounds like that!”

“Wait- what did you tell them about me?” Y/N asked confused, the tone of her voice making him laugh even more “Jack!”

“Don’t worry, only the good stuff” a very deep, low voice spoke up, leaving her taken aback for a moment. Her eyes widened slightly and she glanced at the name of that person, reading out CORPSE. Now that’s something she didn’t expect... 

“Corpse, mind your manners! You didn’t even introduce yourself!” 

“Oh, shit- yeah, sorry. Um, I’m Corpse, it’s very nice to meet you Y/N” he replied right after, making her lip corners curl up into a smile. 

“Nice to meet you too Corpse, you have a really pleasant voice.” she spoke sweetly, completely unaware of the chaos that was taking place in her stream chat. She didn’t even think of it the way her audience did, she just simply spoke up her mind, and being an incredibly nice person - turned it into a compliment.

“Oh- wow. I mean, thank you so much. I love your voice too, it’s really sweet” he replied, nervously chuckling at the end, before muting his mic. It was, however, enough for Felix and Sean to start teasing him, as the two immediately screamed:

“SIIIMP!!!”

“It’s the voice Felix, I told you he’d fall into her trap!” 

“Wait- he was just being nice, guys! Stop making fun of him” Y/N immediately defended the man, trying to speak up over the hysterical laughter of the other players. 

“Oh my god, but what if they both get impostors and they both pull the voice cards on us?!” Rae managed to yell through all the noise, making Y/N even more confused.

“Wait, what? What do you mean? I don’t understand.” 

“Don’t worry Y/N, that’s how I feel all the time around them.” Sykkuno seemed to be the only one who heard her question, as the rest continued their gabbing without giving her as much as a glance. 

“Alright, let’s start the game maybe. I might have a few old scores to settle” Toast cleared his throat theatrically, his astronaut coming face to face with Y/N’s. 

“Oh, you mean me? I thought I already apologized!” she replied frantically. “You gave me no choice Toast, I didn’t even want to kill you in the first place...”

“BUT YOU DID. IN THE VERY FIRST ROUND” 

“I’m sorry!” 

“Alright, enough! Toast, just don’t kill her right away, okay? Let her run around the map, fearing for her life for a moment.” Y/N gasped upon hearing Jack’s words, clearly sensing the smirk behind his voice. 

“Wha- Jack?! Since when are you against me?!” 

“Don’t worry Y/N, I won’t let them hurt you. You haven’t played with us yet, I’ll protect you.” 

“Oh, thank you so much Sykkuno! I’ll protect you too!” 

“Great. Another one simping...” was Felix’s last words, before the game began. 

Y/N sighed in relief upon seeing the word crewmate forming on her screen, but at the same time feared Toast’s inevitable revenge. She thought they'd already buried the hatchet, but it seemed that he was desperate to make her pay for the last time they played together. 

“Aw, Sykkuno was serious” she mumbled with a smile, when his lime astronaut started circling her white one, so she would follow him. “Okay, let’s do some tasks.”

They both made their way towards the medbay, Sykkuno patiently waiting nearby as she did the scan, then Y/N waiting for him to do the same. The moment his little character stepped towards her, a meeting was called by none other than Felix.

“What happened?” Rae asked.

“I called the meeting because I’m afraid of Jack” he responded, causing everyone to laugh. “Seriously though! Dude’s been following me around the whole time.”

“I was just making sure nobody kills you.”

“Yeah don’t go all Sykkuno on me!” Felix screamed, making the call erupt into even more laughter. 

“Alright, are we skipping?” 

“Yeah.”

“Guys, my life is in danger!” Felix wouldn’t give up. “Come on, show some support! Y/N? You played with him, you know his techniques!” 

“Sorry Felix” Y/N giggled, clicking the skip button. 

When the next round began, Sykkuno was quick to join Y/N on her way towards admin, where they both found Poki doing the upload. They did the card swipe and left her there, when the lights suddenly went off.

“Uh-oh. Let’s head the opposite direction, Sykkuno” the girl murmured, dancing around his character and heading towards Comms instead of going to Electrical. It was the easiest way to die, after all. 

Once they entered the room and waited for someone to fix the lights, Y/N could see another figure appear in the same location. She couldn’t recognize whose character it was, but upon seeing the horns on the helmet she smiled to herself.

“Hey there, Corpse” she said, walking up to the black astronaut, who was standing still in the same place as if he was just watching her and Sykkuno run around Comms instead of doing their tasks. 

They stood like that for a couple of seconds until Corpse turned around and ran away, and that’s when the first body was reported. 

“Oh no, Jack!” 

“Poor guy. He’s gonna haunt us now.”

“Where’s the body?” 

“Navigation” replied Rae, who was the one to find Sean’s green astronauts’ body “Didn’t see anyone around, but I’m pretty sure someone just vented right in front of my eyes...”

“Any suspicions?” Toast asked.

“Um, not really sure, it was the exact same moment the lights went off. I was doing tasks with Jack and then he just died. I only saw the vent close, nothing or no one else.”

“Okay, where are you guys right now?” 

“I’m in admin with Dave, we only passed Poki when we got there.” Lily’s voice sounded out, quickly being joined by Poki’s explanation.

“Yeah, I was finishing the upload when you guys came in, Y/N and Sykkuno saw it”

“Did you see her?” Toast asked, addressing his question towards the white and lime astronauts. 

“Yes, we were doing the card swipe before going to Comms. Corpse joined us for a moment and then left.”

“Yeah, I was on my way to fix the lights when I stumbled upon them in Comms, the body was reported the exact moment I left.”

“Can someone confirm this? I mean, did someone see you besides the two of them?” Toast continued his questioning. 

“I think I only saw Felix in Medbay.”

“Hmm, so no one really knows where you were this whole time. You could easily lure Jack into Navigation and kill him there. Is that what you did, Corpse?”

“Woah, that’s some serious accusation” Corpse replied in his usual, low and calm voice. “Where were you Toast? You seem the only one who still doesn’t have an alibi”

“Neither does Felix.” Y/N spoke innocently, and the mentioned man quickly started his explanation.

“Okay, I was with Jack at the beginning but he clearly can’t confirm this since someone snapped his fucking neck. We’ve split up in O2 after doing our tasks and then he must’ve gone with Rae. I just wandered around the map, escaping from the death.”

“Hmm, so not only were you one of the last people to see him alive, but you also admit to not doing your tasks” Y/N said, trying her best to keep her voice steady and stop herself from laughing. She was sure Sykkuno was doing the same thing, they both refused to do any tasks after the lights went off, after all.

“Yeah, but does that already makes me an Imposter? I’m just scared for my life, that’s all.”

“Y/N has some good logic, but I’m not really sure it’s Pewds. I mean, I saw him in Medbay and he really seemed to be just jogging around.” Corpse said, his voice almost immediately doing its magic, as people more or less willingly agreed to skip this round as well. 

“I think it’s Felix. I mean, I haven’t played with him yet, but I have this feeling that he’s just acting.” Y/N said to her chat after muting herself. She went towards Weapons to do another task, seeing Sykkuno’s little character follow her once again, but the doors were suddenly locked and his lime astronaut remained in Cafeteria. “Oh no, Sykkuno” she sighed with a pout on her face, deciding against waiting for him and risking getting her neck snapped. She finished her task in Weapons and moved towards another location, when suddenly Corpse appeared in front of her, coming right out of nowhere. 

“Oh- Corpse, you scared me to death” Y/N breathed a laugh, watching as his character stood still for a couple of seconds, before circling around her white astronaut. Y/N nodded her head with a smile, even though he couldn’t see her, and followed him in Shields, where they found Poki’s dead body. 

“The body is in Shields” Y/N replied right after reporting the body, only to gasp in shock when she realized more than one person was killed. Red crosses decorated not only Poki’s name but were also visible next to Dave and Lily. 

“What the hell?!” Felix all but yelled into his mic, obviously shocked just like everyone else who was still alive. 

“Now that’s... a lot of bodies” Sykkuno mumbled under his breath. 

“Alright, who’s in Shields? Y/N, you said you found the body there, which one?”

“Poki’s, Corpse was there with me” her reply was followed by his short and low hum. 

“Sykkuno, where are you? I didn’t see you anywhere since the last round.” Felix asked, clearly accusing the lime astronaut of being a murderer. 

“I was... doing the wires in electrical, Toast was there for a moment as well.”

“Yeah but I was only searching for the body, so I saw you maybe for a second” Toast replied, building even more suspicions around Sykkuno.

“But- guys, you know I wouldn’t kill two people in one round, let alone four of them.”

“No one says you did that, I only mentioned that you were nowhere to be seen. You could’ve been sabotaging the map for the other Impostor” Felix said nonchalantly.

“Guys, I-”

“It’s him! It must be him!” Rae shouted through her mic. 

“Sykkuno is 100% innocent, I can vouch for him” Y/N’s voice sounded out in everyone’s headphones “We were together since the start of the game and he didn’t kill me, even though he had quite a number of chances to do so.”

“Weren’t you with Corpse this time?” Felix asked suspiciously.

“I was! But at the beginning, I was with Sykkuno, until someone locked him in Cafeteria. That’s when we split up.”

“And you haven’t seen him ever since?”

“Well, no, but-”

“Then I can assure you it was only a matter of time before he’d stab you in the back” Toast concluded, making Sykkuno gasp in confusion.

“Wha- No, I would never do that! Y/N is our guest, I was just making sure she was okay!”

“Sykkuno, simping won’t save your life right now” 

“Wha- I- Guys!” he tried to stutter out some logical explanation “Y/N, don’t believe them!”

“I don’t, I know you’re innocent! C’mon guys, he wouldn’t do it!” 

“Yeah yeah, let’s kick him out. Corpse, who are you voting?” Toast asked, and Y/N could see the I voted sign next to his character. 

“I kinda feel like Felix tries to shift the blame onto Sykkuno. He didn’t even tell his location, and was already throwing accusations on someone else.” Corpse replied after a moment, making the smile widen on Y/N’s face. Someone was finally on her side! 

“That’s because he can’t even explain himself!” Felix exclaimed, voting as well. 

“Besides, I’m pretty sure if it wasn’t for whoever locked that door, Y/N would be dead as well!” 

“No, I told you I-!”

“Guys, we have ten seconds to vote. Rae?” 

“I think it’s him as well. He was acting suspiciously since we started this round. I vote Sykkuno”

“But..!” 

“No, Sykkuno...” Y/N whispered with a pout on her lips, when she saw the number of people who voted for her lime friend. 

Sykkuno was ejected. 

“Alright, I’m pretty sure it’s Felix. I saw Rae multiple times and she didn’t kill me, Toast also doesn’t act very Impostor like, but maybe that’s just one of his strategies... Corpse is with me again, I don’t think that’s him, I mean, he followed me around last round, but still didn’t do anything, and even vouched for me and Sykkuno when we were both clearly chilling in comms. It can’t be him... right?” 

 Dead body reported.

 “I just saw Corpse kill Toast, then vent!” Rae’s voice blared through Y/N’s headphones, as she looked in shock at the red cross next to Toast’s name. If not him, then..?

“What?” the accused man asked calmly “That’s a self-report, she’s trying to frame me. You guys can’t possibly believe her.”

“I believe her. I saw you enter the Electrical with Toast, then he’s suddenly dead” Felix said. 

“That’s because she vented in there and killed him.”

“No! I swear, Y/N/N you have to believe me!” she directed her words towards the girl who remained silent during their discussion, processing her accusations over and over in her head. “I was fixing the wires, Toast was doing another task, and then boom! I see Corpse snapping his neck!”

“How could you see that if the lights were off?” Y/N suddenly asked, making Rae cut her own sentence off “No one went to fix them, they were off the entire round.”

Silence. 

“It’s Rae, it must be her” Corpse couldn’t help but laugh wholeheartedly at how small was the mistake which completely blew Rae’s cover. “We’re voting Rae, right Y/N?”

“No! Guys, I mean, let me explain, I-!”

Rae was ejected. 

“Now that was something I didn’t expect. I would’ve never thought it was her, I even suspected that Sykkuno might really have been the other Impostor, but now... It’s just me, Corpse, and Felix. I’m clear, clearly, so it must be one of them. And since Corpse protected me for the past few rounds, there’s no other option than...”

Her eyes suddenly widened when the realization hit her, and she quickly turned around to speed towards the emergency button. Fortunately, no one was around to stop her from calling the meeting.

“Felix.” Y/N started, trying to contain her excitement and sound seriously “Where were you when Sean was killed?”

Neither Corpse of Felix said a word, as it was probably the last question they expected her to ask. Felix cleared his throat, however, and finally replied:

“Y/N, that was literally the beginning of a game. How am I supposed to remember what I did then?”

“Well” she said nonchalantly “I, for example, clearly remember the things you said even when we were in the lobby.”

“What are you implying?” 

“Wasn’t it you, who told everyone that Sean was your number one if you get Impostor?” she asked with a wicked smile on her face. Felix was dumbfounded, he obviously didn’t expect her to pull that card on him, hell, he didn’t even know how she knew about it since she wasn’t even in the call at the time. 

“FELIX” Corpse suddenly broke the silence, simultaneously breaking the said man from his train of thoughts. 

“Okay, first of all- YOU WEREN’T EVEN IN THE CALL WHEN I SAID THAT” he yelled through his mic, making both Y/N and Corpse laugh, as it only confirmed their suspicions. 

“See? You only proved my point.” 

“Oh, fuck’s sake- I was just joking okay?!” he tried to defend himself, but hearing how he couldn’t even contain his own laughter anymore, it was clear he already accepted the defeat. “It wasn’t serious, god damn it!” 

“You know what to do, Y/N” Corpse’s voice asked through her headphones, and surely, she knew exactly what to do.

“C’mon Y/N, that’s not fair! At least let me explain myself!” 

“Bye Felix” she said in an overly dramatic tone before Corpse voted as well. 

Soon enough, the sign VICTORY could be seen on her screen, which made her squeak and joy. This game was really fun, even though she was so scared of being killed first. 

“I knew it! I knew you would figure out it’s him! That son of a bitch who murdered me!” Jack basically yelled out, clearly very happy about the result. 

“Y/N, seriously now, how did you know I’ve said that?” Felix asked without even hiding his surprised tone.

“Let’s just say I might’ve stolen some of your viewers, Felix” she admitted, winking at her webcam, a new wave of comments landing on her chat. “Thanks guys!” 

“Okay, that is rude and not fair!” 

“It helped me win, so I’ve got nothing else to say” Y/N grinned from ear to ear, before muting herself for a moment to finally answer some of the questions from her chat, while the rest took a quick break to eat something or go to the bathroom.

She was halfway through telling the story of how she met Sean when she noticed she got a message from a private discord chat. 

CORPSE: That was really impressive :)

Y/N smiled to herself upon seeing his text and quickly typed out the answer. 

Y/N: Thanks!! I wouldn’t have done that without you though, you stood up for me and Sykkuno and all

Y/N: Also, thanks for protecting me from being murdered ^^

CORPSE: No problem, I knew you were innocent right away. 

CORPSE: Anyway, good game, Sean was right saying that you’re one of the best players

She couldn’t help the blush that arose on her cheeks, it was very sweet of him to say that, even though she didn’t actually do much except for exposing Felix. 

Y/N: I wasn’t an Impostor though, so you didn’t really see much :)

She watched the three dots beside his name, that signaled he was still texting. The chat was completely forgotten, but people seemed to quickly notice that small, shy smile on her lips, and the pink tint decoring her cheeks.

CORPSE: Okay, now I’m intrigued... 

Y/N: Maybe we’ll both be Impostors one day ^^

CORPSE: Can’t wait for that to happen.

Soon enough, they returned to the lobby to begin another game. Y/N glanced at her chat for a second, and the moment she returned her eyes to the game, her jaw basically dropped. 

IMPOSTOR was written in bold letters in the middle of the red screen, right above her name.

Corpse’s little character was standing beside her.
