LINGLING SIRILAK as FAHLADA THANANUSAK and ORM KORNNAPHAT as EARN SANITHADA episode 6 of THE SECRET OF US

[heretherebedork]

I just... I just don't like the main couple. I want to. They were so cute when they got together and the show started so sweet and now they're just a nightmares and they lost all their communication skills and, no, a puzzle cannot represent your feelings being put together when you haven't done anything to prove that you've changed. Like... nope. Lada deserves this anger and Earn doesn't deserve to slap her. Fuck that. Fuck that. Lada is the one who got broken up with and had to deal with everything that came after that not knowing a single thing that was going on while Earn made that choice and acted on it and never even tried to explain it to her.

Sadly, I know this won't actually end the way I want it to end. And Earn will never have to apologize. Not really. Because the show is going to say Lada was wrong. Sigh. Sigh.

It's The Promise all over again, y'all. I didn't ask for this again. But somehow Lada is going to have to apologize to Earn for this and I am going to contemplate slamming my head on the wall. @respectthepetty why must everything end with the wrong person having to apologize?

Can we go back to the fiance falling in love with her queer bestie? I liked that a lot more.

Also, fuck this line. Fuck this. Earn literally broke up with her in the most painful and heartbreaking way and then the show just decided they had made up with showing any of the work or any of them actually communicating with each other for even a goddamn second and I hate it.

Earn did not, in any capacity, love Lada more than she loved herself. Not for even a fucking second. And the show arguing that is fucking awful and I hate it here. Earn broke up with Lada because she believed she had never truly loved her and she said that and she repeatedly lied to her. For the love of fuck, can the show just actually face that? They did it! Why can't they face it!?

Ok so I've finally played the haze story and the premier was ok, nothing special, nothing bad about it (same way I've always felt about alice's other books so maybe this writing style just doesn't resonate with me) but I still have high hopes for this story...it has so much opportunity to get better

Things I didn't like:

Alice should have explored on Lada and veraya's relationship more, they didn't feel close to me, so much so that I wasn't moved by the sister's death at all

Dragan - what's this guy's problem??? No seriously, I hate this "boy is mean to you because he secretly likes you" CHILDISH ASS TROPE. It's not even a sort of dislike that I can digest from a red flag, no he is full on being mean and insulting & looks like he hates mc with every fiber of his being (I mean he literally clenches his jaw when he sees her coming) I don't like this (and this is coming from someone who loves romancing red flags) I really hope he has a GREAT excuse for why he acts that way other than he has a secret crush on her or else that would be stupid and I will use all my diamonds in making him miserable anyway I can

I was really expecting better from an RC writer not to do this annoying ass trope ESPECIALLY because GOE has already done it and it was no less ANNOYING...like what's going on with the "Boy is mean to you because he secretly likes you & you think he is in love with your dead twin sister but he is actually in love with you" trope?? Did Alice just take inspiration from anastasia's cas route or did a book recently blow up in book twt that had this trope, making other authors go crazy & venture into it or what?! Stop it, it's annoying & childish 🫵🏾

It's just been 2 episodes and I can already see that Lada has little to no backbone, why did anastasia write Lada being in love with that dragan idiot as the canon?? No like even on the determined/stubbornness path....Lada just keeps blushing like a fool thinking about dragan immediately after the idiot says the most insulting thing about her ever, even when I hadn't taken diamond choices with him, she was already blushing?? I hate my mcs being canonically in love with a character especially when said character is a jerk

Not only that but she also seems pathetic over him too, she obsesses over any little interaction her twin sister has with him, EVEN IN HER DEATH & FUNERAL, like what??? your sister just died and the main thing that made you finally drop a tear was whether dragan's gift was sincere or because he liked your sister so he gave you a gift because she asked.....like I would have been able to accept her having a crush on that idiot if she hated herself for it too or had strong internal monologues struggling with liking someone who despises her, like girl have some dignity please. I don't think I have found any mc so pathetic (in how she treats her romantic feelings aspect) in just 2 episodes.....plus she just feels so empty written (yes it has only been 2 episodes so we can't know much about her but still) it feels like there isn't even anything to know about her and please don't bring up lane because that is a very differently written character, she is written as cold and apathetic but we still could feel out her personality but lada? she isn't even described as being cold or empty, just average yet she still feels so.....meh

(I will humbly offer my apologies and give Alice all the praise if she progresses in the upcoming episodes, please note this isn't my analysis for the WHOLE story just this 2 little episodes so yes I do know there is still room for more and I am excitedly waiting on it. This is not a hate post)

Good thing I can say about Lada is that all her sprites are pretty and even though she feels bad about being average compared to her sister, she doesn't go the pick-me "woe is me, oh look at me I'm not like other girls route or develop some grudge or inferiority complex towards her sister for being better that her, No she accepts the way she is and instead find something else she loves doing that makes her whole)

The races

I either don't have eyes or I'm delusional because let me tell you, I haven't seen ONE black character in this story yet that was all the russians could complain of, either racists are that obsessed with black people that they pretty much see them every where, they aren't or there are some hidden characters that maybe I didn't see because where are the black people everyone was talking about? Only black person I saw was the opportunity to choose your mc's sprite

Infact, the race that I kept on seeing was asian (this also seemed weird to me but I googled it and it says slavic people extended to some parts of asia so they rightfully belong there & I don't really know what the russians have to complain about)

The Rescue

Thanks to @daughterofthesilmaril for her beautiful Safin dreams. I had to get that out.

Screaming and kicking was not an option. You learned that at the hard way. The man who helt you in a firm grip slapped you just once. A warning. It let your ears ring. 

Pushed inside the car you helt down a sob, rubbing your swollen cheek and crouched on the seat. Cold leather, what let you shiver. The car started with shrieking tires. 

Only then you recognized the person who sat in the car with you. 

Plain, dark coloured clothes, the collar up, between them and the well coiffed coal hair a pair of grey, piercing eyes. 

"I apologize for the trouble. Better to behave and you will not get hurt." 

His voice was a gurled rasp behind the collar, but you did understood at once. 

"My father?"

"Dead" 

"What is of me?" 

A moment silent in the car between the both of you. 

"I thought this is clear." The rasp voice sounded insulted. "I rescued you." 

"I assume I have to thank you now?" 

"That you have not a bullet between your pretty eyes? Yes." 

"Thank you, Lyutsifer." 

You knew him. Of course. The shadow behind his father's shemes. The watcher, not the guard. 

This one time her father must have fucked up, and the organization knows no mercy for that. 

"Why me?", you asked, even that you know the answer. 

"He can't afford a widness. The MI6 is already on our heels."

There was no more to say at the rest of the drive. 

*

A solitude hangar, a small plane. You hate to fly. Lyutsifer probably knew that too, and he didn't care. 

The moment the car stopped you jumped out to bounce against the broad chest of the soldier. No way out. Deep sighing you nodded. You yield. 

Lyutsifer didn't say anything. It wasn't necessary. 

The plane, old, smelling like oil and smoke, was an russian model. 1960-ish you guessed. 

Scruffy plastic seats without seat belts, the engine stuttering. 

You held your breath until the plane was in the air, finding every air hole. 

"Shit.", you cursed and grabbed a bag, throwing up. 

Lyutsifer watched you uninterested, but held a bottle of sparkle water to you, after you empty your stomach. 

"Thank you." 

"Don't mention it." A scoffed laugh. 

You wanted to kick him for that. You did. 

He just starred you down. 

A wobbly landing on a plain field, you - again - fleeing out of the vehikle to inhale fresh air. 

"We have not yet arrived our destination.", Lyutsifer informed you. Casually he turned to the pilot, who just switched out the amatures of the plane. 

You heard a plop' and the man sunk together. No widnesses. 

"This way."

Your legs jelly, your voice gone by shock you automatically obeyed. 

This was the first time you widnessed a murder. This was the first time you truly realized what a cold bastard Lyutsifer was. 

Another car, an old Lada, gear switch high at the instrument. He knew how to use it. 

You starred while the drive out of the window without looking at anything. Numb at limbs and mind you waited. What else where there to do? 

*

The destination was a surprise though. 

An old bunker entry, half in the ground, broken cement, covered by wild green and plants. 

"Down." 

The stairs were wet, no hand railing, so you reached for his coat, holding on. 

"Good girl.", he muttered. You were thankful for the defuse light, that hid your blush. 

`Bastard', you thought. 

He surprised you at the end of the stairs. Like you, he breathed out in relief. 

"Not warm, nor dry, but a good hideaway.", he informed you, as he took your arm, leading you through the labyrinth of corridors. 

“Second world War? ", you guessed loud to say anything. 

"Cold war.", he spoke back, his voice irritating flat. 

Suddenly there was a door. He opened it and shoved you through it. 

"Your room for now. I will send someone with soup and a bed bottle." 

*

After your meal, you gulped down while trying not to think of your accident in the plane, you tried the mattress. 

It was nothing more. 

An old mattress and scratchy military blanked, who knows how old. 

With help of the bed bottle, a round tin can, filled with boiled hot water, and your own body heat you found some warmth under the blanket. 

Some relief. Time to cry. Not, because you were afraid. Lyutsifer would not kill you. He took all the effort to hide you anyway. But by grief for your father. Out of frustration. 

Tired from crying, your mind calmed down and you slipped in mercyful slumber. 

*

You could not tell the time, nor how long you had slept, as the door went open again. 

Peeking over the blanket you saw Lyutsifer standing in the open door. His face, broken as it was, unreadable. 

He glanced at you for a long moment. 

"Close the door. It's getting cold again."

He obeyed with a smile you could not read at first. 

You watched him walking closer. Sitting down. Looking at you. 

"I could not sleep. My mind is racing.", he confessed. 

You thought of his work, of his former employer, the people he killed, to get you out. 

Without a word you lifted the blanket and shuffled aside. 

Without a word he slipped out of his boots and took the place you offered him. 

Resting his head on your bosom. 

Listening to your head beat. 

Im minutes, sleep catched you.

Flower Garden

=============================A Miruko x female reader

Warnings: attempt fluff

=============================Summary: While patrolling after a fight with a villain Miruko finds a path that looks newly used, To make sure it's not another villain she follows the trail, although she didn't expect what was to come. She also figured out that she should never mess with another woman's flower bed.

=====================

As the sun was close to start going down Miruko is finishing up with getting a villan into custody.

"Hello ma'am! May we ask you a few questions on your latest victory agents this Villian?"

Some random reporter shoved her microphone into Miruko's face, other members of different press companies pointing their attention to the Hopping Hero.

"As much as I would like to, I gotta be on the lookout for any punks that are trying to cause harm, stay safe out there everyone"

And with that she leaves.

<///////^\\\\\\\>

Walking down a path of the city as it slowly turned more woodsy, Miruko finda a path that leads into the wooded area.

With much suspicion, she decided to go down the path to see were it leads.

The further she walks down the path, the more unnaturally grown plants show up.

Uppon reaching were the path expanded, Miruko finds quite a large cottage surrounded by flowers and vines. There were even some wild animals near a pond further out in the field.

But what caught her attention was the verry petite woman tending to what seemed to be a main garden at the side of the house.

The woman dressed in a white button up shirt that hugged her for quite a bit, black legging-like jeans and a pair of black tennis-shoes.

Their (h/c) (h/l) hair was tied back (rapped up if you have short hair) and she had a loos of determination to pull what looked like a verry deep weed from the garden.

Miruko stalked closer being as silent as possible, to get a better look, her stealth mode ended when the woman harshly pulled out the weed with a bit much force making her end up on her rear end.

Bursting with a strong laughter Miruko stomped her foot in hysteria, making the lady who now knows of her presence gasp, but not because a top pro hero was in front of her, no, it was because that same pro hero was standing in th middle of her petunias stomping at them!

"Stop that your ruining my hard work!" you say with a loud huff.

Miruko settled from her laughter to look in the direction of your concern.

Noticing how she trampled a good bit of the petunias she was quick to move to where no flowers were.

That still didn't make you any less angry, marching up to her being mindful of the other flowers in the way of you and the hero. "Do you know how disrespectful that? To be so inconsiderate and stomp on my flowers AND come onto MY home and not only watch me but laugh at me like I'm a joke, thats just low"

Miruko didn't know rather to feel amused that such a tinny lada had so much spunk, or annoyed that the clumsy woman turned into a Karen.

"I'm sorry look I'll even make it up to you, by helping you replant your flowers, okay?"

That seemed to turn on a switch, your whole angry demeanour switched to a more calm one. Ecxepting the form of apology you wenymt into your cottage and got the needed things to start the replanting.

<///////^\\\\\\\>

After a few hours you and Miruko have finnighed replanting the petunias and got to know eachother a tiny bit, but now it was time for the pro to leave.

"Hey Rumi, I'm sorry for blowing up on you like that, it took me almost two years to get all if these flowers and seeds, let alone the process of planting..." You apologise for your first impression and scatch the nape of your neck.

"Oh! Yeah, it's all good I'm not to stressed about that, today turned out to be calmer than most, I might just stop by to clam down after my patrols, or just bscause"

Miruko smiled her charming smirk , leaving back up the path that leaves out of the woods back into the city

"Hopeful you come back soon" you mummbled smiling

I am so sleepy right know I can't hardly type right
