Hey i love your content i was wondering if i can make a request? Can i pls have some h/c of Fujin, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Rain, and Nightwolf having a crush on s/o who is a famous V-tuber twitch streamer(as in she plays video games and does blogs and has karaoke stream on twitch) because she needs the money to fund her animal rescue team and planet rescue team(as is taking care of the plants and trees ect) and will they buy her merchandise.

Thank you hope your having a good day/evening/ night english is not my first language so i am very sorry if i confused you :)

A very specific ask but i did have fun with this one! And don't worry, English is my first language and it can be annoying at times even to me xD sorry no gifs bc i put more effort into the texts. Im selectively lazy

V tuber Xreader who raises money for a wildlife charity

Fujin:

Fujin has always been fascinated with internet as soon as he was introduced to it. The idea that mortals can share so many things with other mortals through a screen makes him so happy about the progress humanity has made. But mostly, the "memes" are hilarious even if he doesn't understand half of it.

The concept that you are really popular on the internet both made him feel proud of you and concerned for you at the same time. Of course "concern" being mostly jealousy, but as easy as it comes, easy as it goes. Such as the wind he commands.

When you said that you were planning to do a "charity live stream" event, fujin wanted to know everything about it. He always loved how generous and kind you were.

If fujin had some free time (which he has more of than his brother, but you're not sure if it's because raiden has more responsibilities or just takes them more seriously) he'd ask you if there was anything he could help you with.

And as a matter of fact, you did include him in your plans for the livestream. You custom made him a v-tuber avatar to match with yours. You nervously asked him if it was ok to make him a white fox wearing his outfit. Fujin was so ecstatic over the virtual matching outfits he kissed you as a response.

Needless to say, you raised 500 over the intended goal. And you trended as "top 5 cutest tuber couples" for months.

Liu kang:

Liu kang knew of "tuber" stuff, he just didn't really have an interest in knowing more. However when he found out that you were quite popular as a "v-tuber" he watched one of your streams and was glad he did. Liu saw you in a whole new light, you were so passionate in entertainment it was almost as close as Johnny cage. However, biased as liu might be, you were FAR better than the actor. With no offense to Johnny cage..

When he heard you were doing a charity stream he was more than happy to not only watch, but donate a little bit himself. Liu admired that, despite being popular, you never let fame get to your head. And instead use it to do good.

Liu kang couldn't help but have the biggest smile on his face when you gave him a shout out and committed to a whole half hour bit of you gushing over him. Which is where you originally intended to end the stream after the goal was met but since you saw his name in the donations you went a bit off track.

Kung lao:

Kung lao has only ever used the internet for two things, to look up what some English words mean (liu kang had always been farther ahead of him with the nuance of english, specifically one time looking up what "nuance" ment in mandarin. Translation is a nightmare) and listen to music.

When you mentioned you were a "v-tuber" and had to explain it to him. Kung lao indulged to see one of your livestreams. And just when the monk thought he couldn't get any more smitten with you, he swears he's going to marry you. Eventually.

When you mentioned you were doing a charity, kung lao was not only extremely supportive. He mentioned it whenever it was appropriate. Needless to say you were shocked at how many donations were coming in. With so many supportive messages, you nearly started to cry when, at the last leg of the donation goal, an anonymous donator not only fulfilled the charity goal, it broke it by thousands. And you knew who it was by the donation message alone, you've been around the hot shot celebrity/earthrealm warrior Johnny cage long enough to know exactly how he talks even in text.

After the event you went to thank kung lao for spreading the word. Kung lao tried to be humble about it, but you kissing him just made him propose to you on the spot.

Regardless of your answer then and there. Kung lao is just happy and blessed he met such a beautiful soul like you.

Rain:

Rain is a bit confused about using earthrealm's "internet" but even he had to admit it was extremely useful. And also extremely annoying. No wifi in outworld nor edenia sucks.

Rain often has to visit you just to use it. And that's how he learned you were a "v-tuber". He never thought you were the "idol" type, but when he watched you do your live stream in real time, you had so much confidence and passion in acting out as your "internet persona". Rain thought he couldn't fall harder for you, and for once he wasn't mad when he was wrong.

When you casually mentioned a charity livestream to support earthrealm's wildlife. Rain took that as a grand gesture to display his affections to you. Of course he gets a bit offended when you get the donation, and not recognize him. Although rain reflects that maybe he should have told you his username was "trueroyalrainpurple" before hand. (All the ones he wanted were already taken, rain is so annoyed with the internet)

Regardless you're happy you fulfilled your goals and give rain a big kiss before, and after he tells you that he made the big donation to surpass the goal.

Nightwolf:

Nightwolf is confused and annoyed why people are surprised that he knows how to program, let alone know how to use the internet. Must be some sort of stupid sterotyping. Regardless he absolutely supports your "v-tuber" career. When he can, he has helped you troubleshoot a game or "technical issues" more than once.

You have begged him to join you at least once during your livestreams. But unfortunately he never has the time. But this time he does, and you both decided on a charity stream. He even designs a matching v-tuber avatar with you. Although you are a bit jealous his is so much cooler looking than yours, which nightwolf laughs and kisses your cheek endearingly.

The moment you exceed the goal you share a "virtual tuber kiss" that has the internet talking for several months. Many clamor for nightwolf to become a v-tuber like you, unfortunately he has far too many responsibilities to even try something like this again. Perhaps in a different life when the realms aren't in jeopardy every 5 gods damn days.

BONUS SHANG UNDER CUT

(Bc im on a role!)

Shang tsung:

This man hasn't touched a computer since 1995. Which means he views the modern internet just like someone's dad. He just learned what a meme is not too long ago. Of course, shang tsung is easily adaptable and gets the hang of things with time.

Shang tsung was surprised that you were something of a popular idol on the internet. He was ready to support your endeavors as you were his favorite little soul.

The hardest part for shang tsung was deciding if he wanted to be anonymous when donating to your livestream charity. Or be bold and let you know exactly who gives you everything you always want.

Regardless, shang tsung knows you're going to be so happy. And that means more lovey kissy time. All according to his flawless plan to appease his little blossom.

Top 10 Video Games of All Time: bobgoesw00t Edition (Part 02)

HIHI EVERYONE!!! bobgoesw00t back again with my Number Nine video game of all time, which I’m giving to:

Yep! The middle game in this trilogy ends up getting the win for me mostly due to how perfectly balanced I find everything to be. The game does a decent job explaining all the various systems while leaving enough for you to figure out on your own, and I never had a problem with one of the biggest complaints critics had, that being Menu navigation. My only real complaint is the size of the compass at the top of the screen when your running around the gorgeous world.

The number of times I spent running around thinking I was going the correct direction to a quest location, only to realize I had either taken a wrong turn or missed a ladder or something across my first run of the game is stupidly high. If MonolithSoft had made the compass just a TAD WIDER, I don’t think I would have had that problem as much.

A smaller complaint I have is the game doesn’t do that good of a job telling you if the objective you’ve got selected is on the same level as you at times. This is once again tied into the compass being too small, because in the most recent Assassin’s Creed games, not only will the compass up top tell you if you’re going the right way, but it’ll indicate if what your looking for is above or below were Bayek/Kassandra/Eivor is standing. That’s in addition to there being an icon being put on top of the world as you run around. MonolithSoft didn’t had those two bits until the next game (along with a route indicator xD).

So other than that, this game is one of my favorite JRPGs of all time. It’s got a phenomenal story that doesn’t require you to have played Xenoblade before hand (although it does give a nice bit of additional context when Rex and friends finally get to Rakuen and yes, I’ll be using the Japanese terms and names cause I’m a bit of a JRPG purest >_<), it’s got what I think to be a perfect pace, encourages you to actively take side quests to help with the various affinity charts, the combat is a decent combination of ideas from the first game and Xenoblade X, and this game has by far THE BEST Chain Attack system across the trilogy for me.

Players who are good about having a good mix of elements with the party’s Blade setup benefit MASSIVELY from playing smarter and one of the most satisfying things for me whenever I play this game is getting an asston of Fusion Combos off to get a bunch of Elemental Orbs spawned, triggering the Chain Attack and just WRECKING THE ABSOLUTE SHIT out of annoying foes/bosses. Being able to keep a Chain Attack going for upwards of up to FIVE MINUTES sometimes and just watching the enemy HP drop while it does NOTHING is a power fantasy come true.

For comparison to the other two entries, Xenoblade Chain Attack is nice because it’s simple and it can be fired off a bit more, and Xenoblade 3 is good (mostly the music IMO) as it took the system from the second game and tweaked it a bit to make it different, but the satisfaction of keeping the attack going for insane lengths aren’t there in those versions.

As for the pacing, Xenoblade takes a bit TOO long to get going for me, while Xenoblade 3’s plot moves a tad TOO QUICKLY at various points, and the game doesn’t do as good of a job encouraging you to tackle the various side quests and/or explore the world. (Xenoblade does this a bit better IMO). Xenoblade 2 also benefits from one of the most likeable, cute, and adorable leads in a JRPG with Rex. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS CUTIE PATOOTIE!!!!!

HE’S A PRECIOUS CINNAMON ROLL AND I WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO PROTECT HIM!!! Hiro Shimono NAILS his performance of this cutie and the only other person I think that could do him just as well is Makoto Kunai. Don’t really have an opinion on Al Weaver’s take on the character as I’ve never played this game with the English voice track cause I found it CRINGE WORTHY at times and like I mentioned already, I’m a bit of a JRPG purist. If I’m playing a game from Japan and it has the option to listen to the original Japanese voice track, that’s being selected IMMEDIATELY. I personally think the quality of the English cast of games now a days depends on if it’s gonna have a dual audio option, but that’s a topic for another day. I WILL say the following however and it’s this: HOLY HELL did they miscast Nia’s English voice IMO! She sounds like a middle-aged woman WHEN SHE DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THAT IN THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION!!!!! WHY THE HELL DID YOU PICK THAT VOICE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS CLEARLY A GIRL THAT’S IN HER LATE TEENS TO EARLY TWENTY’S!?!?!?!?!? I’m not going to elaborate more than that cause there might be people who haven’t played the game still and I don’t want to spoil anything plot related (the picture of Rex I used above doesn’t spoil the plot so I can get away with using it xD).

As for the soundtrack, it’s one of the best sounding games I’ve ever heard. The default battle music (appropriately titled “Battle!!”) is intense and epic and HOLY HELL THE ENDING TRACK MADE ME BALL MY EYES OUT!!!!! Like MOTHER FUCKER IS IT GORGEOUS and it hits you SO HARD the first time you clear the game. If you’ve played this game you know what I’m talking about and even the ending theme from the next game didn’t hit me as hard as “One Last You” did. I don’t recommend listening to it if you haven’t played this game yet as it won’t hit you in the feels like it’s suppose to without having spent HOURS AND HOURS with Rex on his journey to find Rakuen for not only Homura, but for everyone in Altrest.

Wanna take a quick moment to admit the following…Homura and Hikari are my Smash Ultimate waifus and YOU DON’T FUCK WITH THEM!!!!! GOOD GOD the amount of knock back some of Homura’s attacks have is DEADLY if you underestimate her and Hikari is STUPIDLY fast in comparison. They can fuck Steve up and it proves once again why that fucking block head shouldn’t even be a fighter in the game.

OK ONTO MY SCORE FOR XENOBLADE 2 and once again in the spirit of X-Play, I give it FIVE FUSION COMBOS OUT OF FIVE!!!!!

Honorable Mentions this time include three for soon to be obvious reasons:

The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild for being the first Zelda game I truly loved from start to end, and have since run through THREE TIMES (almost done with the third run, but I’ve been running around trying to get Link’s Heart Gauge maxed out before I end Ganon again xD)

and

Xenoblade X & Xenoblade 3: Xenoblade X is SUCH A FUCKING GOOD GAME AND IT NEEDS TO BE PORTED TO THE SWITCH ALREADY!!!!! Hell, I’m INSANELY tempted to get a Wii U again just so I can play it again…and actually beat it finally seeing as how you need FOUR HEAVY ARMOR DOLLS/SKELLS FOR THE FINAL BOSS and JESUS CHRIST do you need a fuck ton of credits to get them (>_</OTL/Q_Q). Meanwhile, Xenoblade 3 is the perfect ending to the trilogy of awesome games and while it didn’t win any of the Game Awards it was up for this year, it SHOULD have gotten best score in the end.

I don’t think I can pick between the horse, parrot, or axolotl one of which is my favorite. They’re all so good.

the ‘minecraft, but my friend is a _______’ series rated according to how much i like them:

minecraft, but my friend is a dog:

dog!dream flip flopped between :D and >:( every 5 seconds n it was beautiful to watch

one second he’s cuddling w a minecraft puppy and going ‘baby 🥺’ the next moment he is viciously attacking george n attempting to murder him in frustration from how much damage he took because of george’s accidental hits. next moment he is sheepishly apologizing because george made him sit down and won’t let him back up until he behaved. and in the moment after that he tells george if i were ur actual dog i would have bitten you by now :/ (??????????)

i love the game mechanics of george being able to freeze dream so that dream can’t move n the ability to teleport dream to george when he’s too far away. v cute. fun balance of dream needing george to save him but also him being able to help him and also be so silly and goofy.

shoutout to the ‘RIP dog Dream :(‘ subtitle when they failed the challenge. 10/10

minecraft, but my friend is a parrot:

dream going BAKAWK n repeating everything george said my beloved. my minecraft youtuber is so annoying 😍

him going ‘my strategy to survive? well im a parrot so :) if anyone comes i can just go BLRRRRRRR’ stole my entire heart

him pretending he needed to eat and letting george feed him only to go JK xD and fly away. so many things about dream were so endearing n funny in this video

i am a big fan of him calling a wolf a ‘woof’ and also his harry potter messenger owl bit. when he sang that i will lead the way parody about being a parrot…. that changed the landscape as we know it :( he is a silly little birdie :( my little wackadoodle :(

also funnily enough this is the only friend is a mob video where they actually beat the game LMAO 12/10

minecraft, but my friend is a horse:

i love the running bit of dream badly mimicking the animals he’s meant to play. also a big enjoyer of him seeing another mob and going omg MY BROTHER…. MY UNCLE…. MY FAMILY….. and like giving names to all the other horses. he is so adorable

dream riding a boat as a horse and singing about it….. he is a disney animal princess. i love him. he is Silly. he is Whimsical. he sang so much more and even reprised songs from the last video. he Galloped. he Yelled. he made Incomprehensible Noises

‘the skeleton could Not touch this 😌’ proceeding him singing can’t touch this as he juked mobs was truly something

‘it’s dinner time and ur papa bird give me the worms! BLURPBLURBLURPBLURVBLURPVLUR’ changed me as a person

shoutout to ‘🎶we’re going on a trip my enderman friend, we’re going to the end, me and my enderman friend :D🎶’ my little parody song writer <3

idk why dream was so quotable but big love for him saying ‘i’m not a communist it’s not OUR food :/ sharing is caring but i don’t CARE >:(‘

george hitting an mlg horse on dream n them joking about how dream experienced what the horse in manhunt experienced n how much his back hurt was. JDJSJDJDJ

when they did risky horse parkour as part of their ‘victory lap’ and george told dream ‘i want you to get the last hit 🥺’ only for horse!dream to DIE trying and george stared in disbelief before killing the dragon w one axe hit….. a masterpiece. 15/10

minecraft, but my friend is an axolotl:

im sorry but george using facecam in this video really boosts the experience. they r getting SO many points for this alone

dream popping up going AHHH :D is SO cute but george thinking dream was green is fucking HILARIOUS. the fact that he didn’t even KNOW throughout the whole editing process because he BEGGED dream to edit it but he said no. so neither of them knew until the video was posted

dream finding other axolotls and going my brothers 🥺 my sisters 🥺 my uncle 🥺 why does he always find his uncle. why is he so cute

‘you’ll never find me >:) [gets found instantly] STOP :(‘ hits so hard

‘you need to Protect me :)’ completely destroyed me :( im trying so hard not to quote the whole video. im very in love w this video

every time they found a glow squid…. dream’s excitement…. him not wanting to kill it at first…. ‘it INKED 🥺’

dream’s whole ‘omg there’s DIAMONDS… oh nvm that’s not diamonds. it’s the glow thingy. There’s Iron!! there’s a creeper. get the creeper. i need food. im on one heart. i need food!!’ journey that led to george calling him Bad and him saying Take It Back :( was everything to me

the clown music playing. them finding actual diamonds and dream falling into the water and getting attacked and crying for george to save him as he escaped into a tiny Hole was so incredibly BABY :( why was he so baby this whole video :( everything he said was chock full of 🥺🥺🥺

him finding out he could only eat fish and not meat :( him going no 🥺 yeah 🥺 yum 🥺

Why I Ship Johnny/Female V: Part 2

[Part 1] [Part 2]

This is Part 2 of my essay series on why I ship Johnny and female V. Back in part 1, I covered why I ship female V specifically with Johnny and not male V, as well as some thoughts on Johnny’s sexuality. This time, I’m looking at Johnny himself. (Content warning: there is some discussion of rape and how rape is handled in fiction.)

Johnny, ambiguity and age-old romantic tropes

Look, I’m just going to come out and say this: part of my interest in this ship is thirsting over Johnny. And when I’m interested in something, whether it’s an intellectual, creative or sexual interest, I like to do what I always do – analyse it to death. So what is it about the actor, the performance and the character that makes Johnny as attractive as he is?

Keanu Reeves himself, obviously, can’t be ignored here. He has a gorgeous face and voice, but crucially, he’s distinctively beautiful. Obviously, everyone has the right to be into what they’re into, and I don’t want to shame anyone for their tastes. But I do not understand people who are into the blandly beautiful. Sure, there’s nothing wrong about, let’s say, Chris Evans. But what’s right about him? Where are the snags that catch your attention and hold it? Where’s the life?

Reeves, meanwhile, is attractive because he’s unusual. He has long, dark hair, but he’s regularly photographed at public events with it mussed-up. He has a chiselled face, but his cheekbones are high enough that he looks alien. He has all the charisma of any Hollywood actor, but, whether this is him as he is or an especially well-calculated image choice, it comes off as genuine. When watching interviews with him, you feel less in the presence of a star and more an especially fascinating stranger at a party, one who, despite bursting with witticisms and stories, somehow wants to talk to you most of all.

There’s also an element of age ambiguity here. Reeves is in his fifties, and while age suits his looks better than youth did, it shows. Meanwhile, Johnny the character is in his thirties when he dies, and to match this, the animators smooth out Reeves’ face and darken his beard. They also give Johnny the (unrealistic but glorious) organic arms of a dedicated bodybuilder. So what Johnny ends up with is the presence, confidence and charisma of an older guy, combined with the physicality of someone younger. It’s potent, to say the least. It also adds to Johnny’s uncanniness as a character. He’s caught between maturity and youth, life and death, humanity and machine; he’s hard to pinpoint no matter where you look. And whether you express this academia-style, as, ‘the gothic associates uncanniness with sexuality’, or internet-style, as, ‘I’m a monster/robotfucker’, this is, as the kids say, pretty damn hot.

This uncanniness, as well as Reeves’ looks and performance, also offset some of the more unlikeable aspects of Johnny’s personality. This is best illustrated by the concept art created for Johnny before Reeves was brought on board. (Found courtesy of the lovely folks at r/LowSodiumCyberpunk.)

As you can see, they had a lot of Johnny’s look already nailed down. But this makes the differences all the more startling. This Johnny looks like he’s been dragged through the wringer. His hair is messier, and he seems to be getting premature wrinkles and balding. He’s strung-out, with a genuinely hopeless cast to his face. His look is also a lot more dated. While our Johnny has elements of the old rocker, the jean jacket, bandana, V-necked black jumper and aviators clipped to the tank top root this Johnny inescapably in 1980s music and fashion.

Why is all this relevant to shipping Johnny with V? Partially because I’m shallow, I’m not going to lie. But it’s also because making Johnny look like this would have made him much more obviously an intrusion. A guy dressed like this next to 2077’s booty shorts and space buns is like a ghost in a ballgown next to a woman in jeans. He’s not just out of time; he’s been irrevocably left behind. Johnny’s face here also has much less in the way of possibility. Where our Johnny says, ‘maybe your life would be better if you listened to me’, this Johnny screams, ‘my way is hopeless, but you can’t ignore it’. It’s leaning much more into the tragic aspects of Johnny’s character and of the genre of cyberpunk. And don’t get me wrong – I love that artwork, and think that angle would be an interesting artistic choice.

But making Johnny a tragic intrusion like this removes the element of seduction, so to speak, from his character. What makes Johnny attractive, ideologically, sexually and romantically, is a balance of certainty and uncertainty. On the surface, he’s passionately, blazingly certain of his politics, his music and himself. If you’re taking a leap of faith, whether that’s fighting against the corpos that rule your life or hopping into bed with an engram, what draws you to it is the kind of confidence that makes you doubt your own certainties. Yet too much of that can be off-putting. Nobody wants a partner who’s so cocksure (pardon the pun) that they don’t listen to what you want, and nobody wants a political ally who’s gone so far into their own rhetoric that they can’t convince those outside it.

Therefore, the common factor across all the ways Reeves’ looks impact our perception of Johnny is the balancing of two seemingly opposing things. Keep that in mind, because it only gets more relevant the deeper into this ship, and Johnny’s attractiveness, we go.

Of course, Reeves’ looks are far from the only thing he brings to the table. His acting, across body language, facial expressions and voice acting, is incredible. I want to take a look at his voice acting, as well as his voice generally, first.

I’m not familiar enough with the subtleties of American accents to pinpoint why, but Reeves’ accent sounds slightly different to the more generic accents of other famous actors. Perhaps it’s because he’s Canadian. Either way, his consonants are less harsh on the ear than other A-list actors, his vowels less elongated. He speaks slowly, sounding as if he just woke up. His voice is mellow and soothing; it’s the sort of sound you could take a bath in.

(For reference purposes, I’m listening to this Cyberpunk trailer as I write this, as well as, um, this video that I’ve watched far too many times. XD)

Obviously, to play Johnny he has to modify that laid-back aspect of his voice. But it’s interesting how his natural voice and his ‘Johnny’ voice bounce off each other. Reeves is able to pull off a much more belligerent Johnny than many actors could, precisely because of that laid-back quality his natural voice has. Think of that ‘impressive cock’ line. It’s made as funny as it is because of the total lack of shame in how Reeves delivers it. But in the mouth of an actor like, let’s say, Robert Downey Jr, that level of shamelessness would just come off as annoying. Reeves uses his natural voice to amp up Johnny’s, for lack of a better word, Chad-ness, far beyond the place another actor could manage. Because he has that base of softness, he can go hard on Johnny’s arrogance.

Why is this relevant to Johnny’s attractiveness as a character, as well as why Johnny/F!V are a fascinating ship? To develop a character well, you have to have an extremely solid base to start on – and that base is where a lot of writing and acting falls down. The audience has to know intimately what a character is usually like, or who they seem to be, before burrowing into the character further is made effective. That equal hard/soft approach means that when Johnny does soften later in the game, it seems both unexpected and inevitable. Even as the harsh tone and words were conveying one thing, that softness underneath was always conveying another. But the fact that Reeves can go hard on the arrogance makes that change much more impactful than it would be in another character. Once again, we’re seeing an equal balance of two seemingly opposing qualities, not openly leaning towards one or the other.

There’s also some aspects of the body language Reeves and the animators give to Johnny I’d like to focus in on. While I’m not an actor, nor am I a psychologist, and therefore am likely to have missed things, there were a few things I noticed when going through footage of Johnny in pivotal scenes. (If you spot something I haven’t talked about, please reply or reblog! I’d love to get a back-and-forth discussion going.)

Over and over again, Johnny’s body language has two layers. There’s what I’m calling the ‘douchebag’ layer, which is where Johnny seems insultingly relaxed. The scene when V and Johnny first meet, as well as the scene at the diner, have two great examples of this. Johnny gets into V’s space, but it’s slow, catlike. There’s no urgency when he leans in, nor when he stands over V.

Similarly, at the diner, he tells V he doesn’t want to kill her anymore – something pivotally important for their relationship and the plot - while putting his arms behind his head and his feet up on the table. It communicates, at least on the surface, a real sense of disrespect. ‘I don’t give a shit’, says his posture, ‘whether you hate and fear me or not’. His threatening slowness when they first meet, meanwhile, communicates that he doesn’t think V is a competent opponent. Why should he hurry if he can get her any time?

At least, that’s what it looks like. Take a look from 9:40 onwards here. Sure, he swings his legs up on the table – but not before hurrying into the diner booth and tapping his fingers rapidly on the table. Even when he gets into that relaxed posture, he’s bouncing his leg the entire time. Those catlike movements I talked about when they first meet? If you look from 5:42 here, they’re there. But they’re also interspersed with banging his head incessantly against the wall, pacing back and forth and glitching unpredictably all around the room.

This is where the second layer of Johnny’s body language comes in. Underneath all that casual condescension, he communicates constant, frenetic energy, even anxiety. Even in his default, idle animations, it’s extremely rarely that Johnny communicates real coolness and calm. He covers constantly racing thoughts and feelings with a slick persona.

What this does is very like the hard/soft balance of the voice acting I talked about earlier. Because the ‘douchebag’ layer of body language is the most obvious one, you pick up on that first. But the other layer is there throughout Johnny’s entire arc, and it goes into your brain on a much more subconscious level. Then, when Johnny’s guard does come down, it seems like a natural development of his character while still being a surprise. Once again, there’s that knife-edge balance between two disparate qualities. And for me, attraction always lies in the space between.

There’s also something highly sexual about the way he gets into V’s space when they first meet, the way he stands over her. When first playing the scene where they first meet, it felt like watching the moments before an act of rape. You see him first as he leans over you while you’re still in bed. He beats you to the ground, smashes your head into the window, and towers over you while you’re collapsed on the floor. Given the context of him taking over your body, the overtones are unmistakeable.

But again, crucially, that frantic body language and his lines are the complete opposite of how someone behaves when making the kind of power play that rape is. The pacing, the panicked words and the fact that he’s caught off guard all communicate disempowerment. While it’s still a violent, frightening scene, it’s not a monstrous one.

Why is that relevant to discussing Johnny’s attractiveness, and Johnny/V? Because rape fantasies and male domination are some of the oldest tropes in the book for M/F romantic arcs. Done properly, they play on desires of sexual submission without explicitly acknowledging the kink, depict the eroticism of that liminal space between humanity and monstrosity I talked about earlier and allow you to fantasise about being deeply wanted. Of course, that last bit isn’t a factual depiction of rape in real life. But in the fantasy, the story, the idea of being ravished is partially about being special, being so uniquely attractive that the guy loses all control of himself. If you have a more conservative or repressed view of your sexuality, the ravishment/rape fantasy also allows you to fantasise about sex without seeing yourself as a slut. (This post is a great look at that last idea as applied to the movie Labyrinth, if you want to find out more.)

The idea of sexualised monstrosity is also everywhere in the tropes used to characterise Johnny. He’s a troubled rockstar, an angst-ridden artist who died tragically young, a violent political rebel, part human and part supernatural creature, a charismatic, cocky, seemingly heartless guy, who just might have a heart if you look deep enough. What all these tropes have in common is the promise of both reassuring humanity and fascinating, exciting monstrosity.

Reeves’ and Johnny’s looks combine strangeness and humanity. Reeves’ voice acting moves between soaring arrogance and languid softness. Johnny’s body language combines fear and overconfidence. And the use of age-old romantic tropes in an unexpected context, as well as the use of these specific romantic tropes, knit all the effects of the other things together to create that balance between the human and the strange. He’s unusual enough to be interesting, human enough to seem real and associated with all our cultural symbolism of an attractive man. With all that going on, how could you not find him hot as hell?

But the thing about these tropes is, they’re also so common they’re clichéd. Not just in fandom, but all across Western media and art. So what lifts Johnny and Johnny/V out of being something generic? What makes them so fascinating that I’ve written thousands of words about them? What, in short, makes them different?

That’s what I’ll go into next time.

Fazbear Frights: What We Found Analysis

Here’s my analysis for What We Found, the third story in Gumdrop Angel. I wrote this as I read so it may be a little different than my previous analysis where I read the story first and went back.

If you’re a Michael Afton fan I highly recommend this. Also, there’s possibly some insight into William Afton, Mrs. Afton, and Henry too, so it’s worth a skim.

Pg 144 '...a place thirty-some years forgotten' Just reconfirming FNAF 3 is 30 years past *one* of the FNAF closings, presumably FNAF 2 location.

Pg 145 "The whole building was giving him [Hudson] a headache." FIX THE VENTILATION BRUH

Pg 148 '...they were able to use salvaged derelict equiptment original to the old pizzerias.' Another confirmation of something we heard from Phone Guy.

Pg 147 "How old are you?" "Twenty-three, same as you." I think this gives us Michael's age during FNAF 3.

EDIT: This kept me awake last night. Obviously this is impossible because he has to be alive for at least 10 years before 1983, BUT maybe its just reconfirming FNAF 3′s year? 2023?

Pg 149 "Hudsan's dad died and his mom married Lewis, a ridiculous balding man who wore plaid vests and smoked a pipe" Did... Did this book just seriously imply Mrs. Afton left William for Henry? Really? (Yes, there's differences; the husband is dead and the man wears plaid 'vests' but it seems very odd to include that detail. This could just have been the writer's own imagination, though.) I have seen this as a fan theory and 100% explains the jealousy aspect of William, but I can't help but kinda hate it. I think this is very important, though, and probably Scott's intention. "This horrible little man [Lewis]... would make Hudson's next ten years a living Hell" This REALLY intrigues me given the context I just went over. The text implies Lewis was fairly neglectful to our main character / Michael stand-in Hudson. Maybe I'm wrong and for some reason Mrs. Emily left and went to William? XD Haha, I'm reading too much into this page. Maybe I'll come back to this later. I figure it's more of Scott possibly including double-details (contradicting stuff with the same character that really applies to two, which has been something I heavily pointed out in previous anaylsis on this blog) Having said that, I'm going w/the former because I can't imagine Henry being abusive (neglectful yes, abusive no) and he's never been portrayed that way in official works like William has in the novels.

Pg 150 "Hudson began to screw up in class...a product of spending the night in fear that his stepfather [Lewis]... [would] beat him just for the fun of it." Ooof. Big confirm on William actually being abusive. Unless we stick with the Henry theory for Lewis (combined with Midnight Motorist Henry theory / alcoholic). "...near-daily beatings..." "his mom started taking pills to get through the day..." So, whoever Mrs. Afton is, she was definetly not paying attention. But then, most people married to serial killers either don't notice because of denial (like this) or because the killer is so manipulative / careful they can't notice.

"Barry, who had red hair and freckles..." Yo?! Is that a description of Fritz?! These friends in the story could be the other kids Michael knew's stand-in's, aka the two gravestones with names he used (Fritz and Jeremy), as shown in the checks for the games and FNAF 6. I've long figured Michael was probably friends with the victims--it makes them easier, although riskier, targets [for William]. The two friends are male, too, like Fritz and Jeremy. If you're curious about Duane's description (our stand in for Jeremy), it's "tight black shirt... muscles... black hair long enough for a glossy ponytail..." I'm not sure if this matches anything found in the novels or contradicts them, though. (The novels = TSE trilogy)

"And so it went... until the night of the fire." For context, this is before FF burns down. We're learning of Hudson's life from his close friends in childhood, his father's death, his mother remarrying, to his abusive stepfather, to his grades slipping to this line. This would be a new fire not seen/mentioned in the games...

Pg 151 "...go to Charlie's for a sundae..." Really. Really Scott. Just gonna use this name again. OK. I'm not even gonna discuss this because it's probably irrelevant. *This is confirmed on pg 158 to be an ice cream shop. No lore relevance aside the annoying name coincidences Scott loves to troll with.

"This is not... an advance into enemy territory, a fight with demons, or a descent into Hell..." Uh, what? What is Hudson talking about? XD I'm only noting it because it seems so out of place. He's probably talking about video games or something.

Another note, although I don't have a specific reference since it is mentioned off-hand many times, is that Hudson keeps referring to his "history" which is implied to have kept him from getting a well-paying job and a girl he's crushing on doesn't know this "history" which is good for him. Seems good old "Michael Stand-In" has done some jail time or something. Edit: On pg 154/155 the girl asks Hudson, "Did you do it?" Seems he may have killed his stepfather or been involved with something else just as bad. Edit 2: No, I was thinking too deep into it. This probably refers to Evan's death at Fredbear's. DUH.

Pg 156 describes an actual "prize corner" in FF! What am I even reading? IIRC this is in FNAF 3, too. So they just hand out these scary gift boxes to people that complete the attraction? (Hudson says he *would* have fun handing out the scary toys to kids when this location opens--kind of a bully thing to do, eh?)

"[Hudson] avoid[ed] glancing in any of the mirrors..." I'm only pointing this out because it could be reference to one of two things. 1) We know because of one of UCN's music tracks, William has a fear of his reflection. Michael probably shares this trait, especially since 2) after Ennard and all... and later on pg 157 it also says, "he never wanted to face: himself" Sounds like guilt, my guy.

Pg 157 "blonde hair... blue eyes..." Hudson shares an eye color with Michael. It's possible Michael had blonde hair as a child and it changed to brown (it's common, something I personally went through being technically blonde/ blue eyed myself)

"He [Hudson] knew from personal experience that toys could turn from fun...to torture ina heart-beat" Fairly self explanatory. Either Hudson's worked at a creepy location before or he doesn't like remembering Fredbear's.

*checks how much is left.* There's still 35 pages (not counting back/front) left of this... This is gonna be a lot of notes.

Pg 158 Hudson doesn't have a car. Poor Mike, probably having to walk everywhere. Especially as a corpse.

Pg 160 This page describes many physical issues Hudson has that prevents him from entering the Navy, all from the abuse of Lewis. Obvious paralell to Michael becoming an undead [because his father sent him to CBPR indirectly causing his condition]

Pg 161 "How's your granny, Hud?... ...Is she still alive?" "I don't think she can die." Does anyone in the Afton family really 'die'? XD

Pg 162 These few pages discuss Hudson's grandmother. She's described as "a seer who claimed to know the future... ...wore big men's plaid flannel shirts with baggy jeans" Um, more plaid / flannel? AGH. STAHP. Lowkey, I would totally headcanon my Aunt Jen like this, though.

Pg 163 "Hudson's mom... the way she was before Hudson's dad had died... never... particularly warm and fuzzy... but... effiencient and responsible..." More about Mrs. Afton, so that's kinda neat.

"Hudson's dad was fun and attentive." There's a good Dad in this series?

"Unfortunetly, he also struggled with mental illness." "invisible low points" (Pg 164) Kinda reminds me of how Henry is described after Charlotte's death in the books.

Pg 164 "When Steven got himself into a bad deal that cost him his small business... he'd taken his life." Oh, it is Henry! SMH. Way to use confusing paralells. So, from our understanding thus far, Hudson's real father, Steven, is our Henry stand-in. His step-father despite being described similar to Henry, is actually our William stand-in. Fair game, Scott.

Pg 164 "...he [Hudson] was locked into a supply closet..." Oh shit, you guys. So, let me go on a tangent here, because this IS important! I just watched a retrospective on Sister Location and FNAF 6 earlier and one theory for Midnight Motorist was the person in the chair was the mother and the kid was Michael. I think this little line may confirm that. In fact, the story may be the key to figuring things out. Obviously, the line is a paralell to FNAF 4's scene in which Crying Child was locked in the supply closet of Fredbear's. I know some people, including Matpat, believe[d] CC was Michael, and in this book's context, it sort of works. This does contradict Step Closer and 1000 other things that make Michael the older brother, but maybe it's hinting at MM? Abusive stepdad (possibly Henry... maybe William is gone at this point), checked out Mom (hey, grey couch lady with Foxybro's font). IDK, but its definetly something to think about.

Pg 165 Lewis is mentioned as calling Hudson "nothing" and saying "you're nothing" on several occasions on this page. Just more abuse, for those accurate fanfic writers like me. Also I kinda wanna watch Morel Orel again. Yall know my fav character is Clay. Yall know.

"You're smoke." <-- Lewis / The text later reads, "...there was some irony, given what eventually happened." BRUH. Why did your stepdad die in a fire? :V TELL ME.

"When his family's house burned down at the end of his senior year..." Huh. Is there a fire we don't know about in the game-verse? Could this explain what happened to the FNAF 4 house before MM house?!

"...it purged Hudson of Lewis and his mother." MRS. AFTON BURNED ALIVE, TOO? Bruh. I can't with this story.

The text later describes the fire is concluded to be man-made and Hudson was blamed for it. Can't say if this ties to Michael, but it IS interesting... TBF, there is a small paralell to draw between Henry in FNAF 6 and his history of suicide in the books, too.

Pg 166 "...this place's [FF] busted thermostat.." I just find this line funny.

Pg 167 "...after three weeks of keeping an eye on the place" Some more timeline context for FNAF 3. We know that Michael worked there a little while before we start playing the game thanks to one of the phone calls, IIRC, so this makes sense. If Michael was accused of [something] and also wanting to hunt down his father, then it makes perfect sense why he's working a dead end job at Freddy's over and over and over. Fun fun fun.

Pg 169 "He hated to think about a functional character [Foxy]" This line is in regards to Hudson not liking the set up of Pirate's Cove and Foxy's hook to scare people. Sounds familiar, don't it? (For Michael anyway.)

Pg 173 "Some big find is arriving tomorrow." SPRINGY BOI! COME ON BOOK, get on with the show?

Pg 176 "Granny was wearing a red-and-green plaid shirt and her baggy jeans." Nothing special, but it was specifically brought up twice. I'm kind of racking my brain trying to understand what the point of this character is outside of "woooo everything is haunted don't you know that" kind of character.

Pg 180 "...dropped the crate on the linoleum with a resounding thud." HEY. Poor Springtrap, just gettin' tossed around like the trash he is.

Pg 186 "If you weren't so stupid, I'd tell you more about it." Springtrap bringing the burn. =:)

"A voice with a burr-like rasp...hint of a Southern accent" I'm going to assume this is because it's Lewis probably in the suit in this story and not our old British lad.

"It's was Mr. Atkin's voice." THE MATH TEACHER? *goes back to check* 'The algebra teacher'. Okay...

Pg 190 Okay, so Hudson hear's Lewis' voice this time. Okay, I get it now. Springtrap in this kind of imbodies all of Hudson's old bullies, including the teacher. He also has PTSD, just FYI. IDK if anyone finds that important, but it's fairly obvious by the line "He wasn't in his bedroom. Lewis didn't just slam his head into a desk; his head had been slammed into the [arcade] game."

"Why did he hallucinate a scene from his childhood?" Oh, it's not PTSD, then. It's just the VENTILATION ERROR. lol Okay.

Just a note, as I'm reading through the more action-based stuff, I kind of feel bad for Michael if he had flashbacks like this guy. They're intense.

So, Lewis' voice finally comes out of Springtrap on Pg 213. There's that.

Pg 220 "You can just stay there [in his room]" Kind of a paralell to Midnight Motorist. Lewis is saying it to Hudson. I really feel like the kid in the MM game is Michael because of this story...

Pg 223 "Heat purges. Fire heals." I'm sure that's Henry's life motto.

The ending was stupid, but most in these stories are. Hudson is hallucinating and is implied to have burned himself alive in FF's oven. Meh? The first half of this one is A TRIP and a little insight into what I 100% believe is Michael's childhood. I think the saddest part of it all is that we never got Springtrap speaking to Michael in FNAF 3--and if it's ever remade I hope we get more of them interacting.

Hi!!! May I get a HP, Star Wars, Voltron, and Disney matchup?

𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 + 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘

19, Libra, Neutral Good, enneagram is 4w5, muggleborn Ravenclaw (with Gryffindor tendencies), and my patronus spirit is Hummingbird. Biromantic Pansexual Genderfluid woman using pronouns of She/Her or He/Him. Cherubic-like face, with short height (5'1") plus sized Southeast Asian woman with Spanish descent that has chic messy/wavy brunette medium hair that reaches to my shoulder, oriental skin, slightly upturned eyes, small lashes, chocolate brown irises, cute flat nose, heart shaped face, full cheeks, cupid's bow lips, a small beauty mark on the forehead, and naturally straight teeth with tiny gap in front (just imagine that it's a mixture of Marinette from 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗯𝘂𝗴, Musa from 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, and Alexandra Trese from 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲---cause' my friend told me that I kinda look like them). My sense of fashion is in between emo and boyish plus korean glam, I sometimes let my hair down or styled like Lara Croft reboot.

𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬

Distant, quiet, and timid at first making people thought I'm a demure, modest, and self-effacing that looks "immaculate" or "one of a kind" (due to my protective mom, a reason why I've never been in a relationship) but the truth is, dunno how to initiate a conversation, but a total opposite if I open up---friendly, ambivert, witty, laughing loudly on a daily basis---like my happiness is too shallow, super talkative, eats a lot (yeah I can finish a huge slice of cake or a meal in one sitting), awkward, daydreamer (I got embarrassed from knocking at the door even I'm inside the classroom 😂), EXTREMELY CLUMSY (mostly gets bruises from hitting, bumping my head somewhere, walking into something on my way, and being careless to my belongings), secretly likes affection, easily overwhelmed, prone to melt over wholesomeness, flusters on compliments, lightly blushes on cheesy banters, eager to share what I know (especially about Catholic Church---my past teacher joked that I'll become a saint because of it 🤣), oftenly speaks full of sarcasm with a lowkey crackhead energy citing meme references, and talented girl who can be your no.1 supporter and unashamed to be true to myself but can be awkward to strangers. In terms of leadership, I only educate and guide than being a prefect (I might take the role seriously), will lift my group when there's lacking/incompleteness. About doing projects in school, I become too extra and prepared for efforts, but I'll forget the process in the end.

The extent, I'm expressive, warm-hearted, willig to help, kind, intelligent, supportive, nice, creative, enthusiastic, laid-back, determined, tough, competitive, and feisty outside, but a real softie that can be childish and dramatic that cries so easily (but will enlightened real quick by smallest things that makes me smile) filled with doubts, frustrations, and insecurities with fear of failure that pushes off the limits to to please everyone because they might get dissappointed from expectations---I simply can't stop proving myself too much because I'm a survivor of bullying. But I still managed to be stronger than ever after I stumbled, even it's a slow burn process. I can be blunt, intimidating, harsh, and a douchebag if I receive ends or I got interrupted while doing something. Immature, headstrong, perfectionist, demanding, hesitant, jumpy, forgetful, overthinker, quick-tempered, sensitive, and anxious (no joke, my nervousness makes me think worse scenario will arrive). Though can be procrastinator and arrogant, I raised as a religious 𝖺𝗇𝖽 diplomatic youth, willing to fight what I believe (including my dreams and what's important to me) and what is right. In addition, I have a habit of staying up late and doing sign of the cross to ease nervousness.

Rowdy and feeling-brokenhearted and bitter friend in the group who fangirl a lot, swears like sailor, will call out on people that we loathe, will make fun of your stupidity (in a good way) before helping, and bring gossips, but a hopeless romantic and cheeky (makes banter with sarcasms or pick up lines as an endearment, but gets annoyed if I received sappy or offensive one), Still generous and concerned person in a subtle and different way.

𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦

My hobbies are singing, drawing, roleplaying, listening to music, chatting/browsing on social media, conceptualizing, writing, and reading some stuffs. I'll include making corniest jokes/puns, sleeping, and dancing when nobody's around or walking like a model if I feel so bold (even I'm terrible at both xD). I also used to learn Italian language a bit.

𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦

Loves kittens, milk tea, singing at the karaoke, cartoons, iced coffee, memes, cute things, watching YouTube videos (mostly pageants, ASMR, edit audios, and mukbangs), also enjoys playing games on my sister's PSP. Sucker for arts, choir, poetry, night sky, makeup, fun/deep/dumb conversations, Christianity, documentaries (about saints, real crime stories, and inspirational people), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and creative writing, chilling both indoors and outdoors. Beside that, my music taste are like late 90s-2000s songs (mostly rock, pop, and country) sometimes Catholic songs, kpop and ppop, chocoholic, and a sweetooth as well.

𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦

Things that I hate are stereotyping, HUGE creepy crawlies (spiders, toads, snakes, and cockroaches), firecracker sounds, thunder and lightning, being left out, loneliness, heart break, blackout, and judgemental people. If I found out that someone hates or backstabbing or being rude to me, I won't hesitate to throw offensive criticisms, leaving them with a "I don't give a f" attitude. One random fact about me is, I 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 vent out EVERYTHING I despise in my entire existence---from bad soap operas to toxicity, worse scenarios in real life, and how terrible is my love life from unrequited feelings that I got, because it's a big deal for me, and I consider forcing me to do what I'm not into and manipulating me as my major pet peeves.

𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦

In terms of triggers...I only have two which are ta𝖨king about divorce/annullment/separation because I came from a generational broken family (it sucks that some people I knew assumed that the reason why I'm overly unaware that someone is interested in me in secret, is I have "high standards" looking for a partner, but the truth is I'm strict and I have a personal preferences...I know my worth and I don't want settle for less!) and religion/beliefs discrimination, cause' there are reasonings that doesn't makes sense because some, sounds too hypocritical, like as if you're a morally good person.

𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 + 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦

My love languages are quality time and gift giving, but I actually swoon over physical touch (especially cuddles and cute kisses) and words of affirmation when it comes to having a partner, though I get attracted so easily, matured but can be a goofy person who's nice, friendly, kind-hearted, loving, faithful, and excels in academics is my cup of tea. Whenever I have a real life crush (which is rare), I act the same but deep inside, my heart is about to explode and will eventually share to my trustful friends how I highly admire that person, however if they spilled the beans out, I'll obviously deny it and will cry if they like someone else, it will take some time for me to move on, now I don't care for them anymore.

Best Friends to Lovers is my ideal trope because I find it very cute since you already knew each other before dating (which happened to my 2nd cousin, she married her best friend!)---perfect balance for romance, laughters, comfort, and tears when it comes to sharing your vibes, being there through thick and thin, safe with embraces, and helping each other to grow.

𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔𝗦

My best assets are smile, eyes, personality, singing voice, artistic skills, writings, intelligence, oratorical skills and I have potential in hosting...so I can consider myself as a singer, artist, orator, speaker, and a top student who's a former active campus ministry member with three roles (choir leader, psalm singer, and reader).

May sounds different but I'm passionate for helping people through my talents and sharing my story to inspire everyone. I may look selfish, but I have a different way on how I show that I actually care also I have a biased sentimental value

Currently a college freshman, learning how to cook. I have so many interests, to the point I don't know what I'm into because of my dreams to become a popular Filipino YouTuber, a novelist, and being part of a successful chorale competing internationally...I also consider joining pageants at school too once the pandemic ends, but maybe.

HP: Remus!

- Remus is also quiet and a bit reserved when he's not in a familiar situation, so your own first impression on him would be a good one, as you'd seem similar to his own personality. He's sweet and is able to start up a conversation if he notices the other person is having a hard time doing so, so hopefully he'd be able to bring out your more extroverted and friendly self after a while so he can be around the more open you. He wouldn't mind you being a bit awkward-he's very much the same way-honestly, the comradery that would come from that would be more positive than anything else. He loves sharing knowledge and learning about new things, so your eagerness to talk about what you know would work really well also! He does a lot better when he knows someone has his back too, so your extra supportive nature would endear him to you as well.

SW: Han!

- Your nicer and more helpful personality would balance out Han's more standoffish vibes when first meeting. You might get on his nerves a bit first, but you'd quickly grown on him and, in turn, make him a bit of a better person. Your ability to be blunt and a bit harsh would serve you well if you ever needed to stand your ground on an issue that two of you have, as he can be quite stubborn.

VLD: Lance!

- Lance can be a bit immature from time to time as well, especially when it comes to trying to be funny or cheering up those around him-he's also headstrong and typically firm in what he wants to do, so your own determined personality would attract him to you a lot as well. He often puts off things he needs to do if they make him anxious too, but if you both recognize that you share that problem, helping each other might be a good solution!

Disney: Flynn!

- Flynn is quite a sarcastic and teasing person, so your own humor would match well with his. He's also quite a hopeless romantic as well, even though he's certainly not one to admit that right off the bat. He enjoys singing, and as he gets closer to someone he feels more comfortable doing so in front of them, so a partner he's been with for a long time would get to see him be more and more open with it. That also applies to activities like dancing.

Idk where i saw this but i need to write my own

MLQC Boys React - MC wearing their shirt/tshirt as a dress in public.

Note: have been dating for a while, like 6 months?

A little NSFW but not too bad x

Victor:

You had stayed over at his for the weekend and now it was Sunday and you had run out of clean none-casual clothes. And you had forgotten to pack any with you or go shopping because you had been very distracted all weekend. By victor without a shirt on wahhhhhh

You rummaged through his closet quickly. Boi was already at work he had a 6am meeting. You dont know how he has the energy to do that. You would literally die if someone said you have to be out of bed before 6am

He looked at his long fancy shirts and you had an idea. You grabbed the one that felt the nicest and that was not the boring grey shirts he usually had. It was a purple silk shirt and it came down to about your knees. MC is so small.

Little did you know that that was literally one of the most expensive shirts he owned...

NOT IN THE CAPACITY TO KNOW FANCY BRAND NAMES OK

You sinched it in at the waist with a belt you had worn over the weekend and put on some gold earrings and necklace. You finished the look with black tights and your black doc martens, PRAYING that no one at work would mind that you looked more SMART CASUAL than SMART.

You thought u looked hella cute in the mirror so u went to work at 9am.

You had forgotten you had a meeting with Victor at 11am.

he did a double take when you walked into the room.

He squinted at your “dress” and you could tell he was going through his memory bank of where he had seen it before.

“Is that... new?” He asked eyeing you every so often before glancing back down to your weekly report

“Uh... yeah relatively. Do u like it?” You asked innocently batting your eyes.

“Where’s it from?” He passed you back your report, forgetting to give any negative comments unusually. He thought you looked hella cute but he totally wasn’t going to tell u that.

“I-I can’t remember.” You blushed hiding behind the report a little.

He stood up and leaned against the front of his desk, now towering above you casually. “I thought you had enough clothes, without needing to borrow mind”

Ok. Now you were bright red.

“D-d-do you not like it?” You stammered and then flashed him a cheeky smile, “i can take it off and give it you back”.

Victor’s hear stopped momentarily before going “Dummy” and patting you gently on the head.

You walked out of his office 2 hours later feeling on top of the world. that’s not the only thing you were on top of

Mr CEO was surprisingly in a good mood for the rest of the day and even gave Goldman a small smile. GOLDMAN IS FREAKING OUT.

Lucien:

It had been a last minute decision sleepover... totally innocent absolutely nothing happened what are you talking about.

Lucien had already left for a lecture he was giving at the university. You had promised to meet up with him once he had finished his schedule.

Now you totally COULD simply go back to your apartment and pick out something you’d worn a few times and Lucien had seen you in. OR you could actually conduct an experiment of your own and make Lucien hella blushy - even if boi went a little red it would be a triumph in himself. BOI HAS A BETTER POKER FACE THAN VICTOR HOW

Being a little bit devious you decided to raid Lucien’s closet. BOI LIKES TO BE STYLISH

He has everything coordinated by colour and by season/activity. Jumpers go in the bottom right next to the winter coats and shirts were hung up towards the left for those “casual days”.

Boi doesnt own a tshirt, he only knows smart casual and smart. Loungewear? Sweatpants?? Boi has never heard of em

Most of his clothes were black and white with a tad bit of grey and brown in there but you found at the very back of the wardrobe a white shirt with pink butterflies patterned over it. Masculinity is so fragile, let the man wear pink. He can OWN it.

You decided to go for it and match it with thigh high suede wedges to give yourself a little extra height. You sinched it in with a simple black studded belt and added nude tights. You put your hair up into a “cute messy” bun and popped a pencil in to keep it in place. You paired it with a little black satchel and “natural” makeup with maybe a red lip tint? Lucien likes a red lip and you can’t tell me otherwise

It was about 2pm and you decided to head over to the university. A little spring in your step.

You knew his schedule by now so you knew he’d be in his office round about now. You checked the times 2:30pm. Half an hour before his next and final lecture.

You entered his office, you didnt need to knock anymore. He knew it was you. Students would always giggle LOUDLY outside his office before knocking. Mainly female students and you PRETENDED not to notice.

He could totally tell you noticed and were trying to hide it

You saw him tapping away on his computer, eyes lost in data.

You plopped your bag over the sofa and walked over to his desk. Kinda annoyed he hadn’t noticed you but also kinda excited because of the build up?

He had a light smile on his face, “Hello MC, i was expecting you a little lat-“ he glanced at your outfit. Boi actually halted his sentence. You were delighted.

You saw the tips of his ears turn pink. successs

he gulped and brought a hand up to his face as his eyes looked at your outfit in detail before looking you directly in the eye, a michevious look on his face, “i haven’t seen that shirt in a very long time. Have to say, it looks better on you”. He watched as you leant over the desk resting on your elbows.

“I think the thigh highs are a nice bonus” he said making it very obvious at where he was looking.

“What time is your next lecture again Luci?” You asked sweetly, leaning over to boop his nose gently.

“Actually my last lecture had to cancel due to some strange unforeseen circumstances”, he said typing the email as he spoke.

“Isn’t that lucky?” He chuckled while glancing at the office door

You gave him a brief kiss on the cheek, “very lucky”

He didn’t make it to the 3pm lecture

Gavin:

He had left some of his clothes at yours before heading out on a mission. He’d been gone for a few days but he had called and said he would be home soon. Weekends were usually spent with you waiting for gavin. He had promised he would stop going on big missions now he had something to come home to.

You kinda got bored waiting for him, because he said he’d be home today. You had told Eli that if he came back with a new bandage you were going to kill him and make him sit in a salt bath. Eli knew you weren’t joking.

You decided to pull out one of the many tshirts he had left at yours. It was an old rock n roll band tshirt. You didn’t know them too well but Gavin had liked to listen to their music every now and then. He didn’t wear it that often anymore, it was a bit too tight on him since he had bought it in his college days.

You had washed it already because you sometimes slept in it. You had been binge watching DIY youtube videos all day when you had a great idea. You really liked the look of the cut out ladder look the girl had done in her youtube video so you decided to do the same. You grabbed a pair of scissors and got to work.

You also decided to give the thsirt a little bit of a v-neck but leaving a piece around the neck for that fake choker look. You looked at your handy work and decided you really quite liked it. The back wasn’t too exposed because of the laddered look but you could always wear something underneath like a mesh top.

It came down to just lower than your thigh. You looked at yourself in the mirror. Considering it was the only piece of clothing you had on right now besides your little running shorts, you thought you looked really cute.

You spun around happy when you saw gavin staring at you COMPLETELY RED outside the window.

“Gavin!” You squealed excitedly as you went to open the window and let him in.

The wind blew underneath your dress/tshirt a little to lift it. You quickly pulled it back down.

Bird cop has stopped working

“You look...” Gavin stood in front of you staring at you. You could see there was a new scar on his neck and arm but no bleeding on any of his clothes.

“I’m so glad you’re home!” You wrapped your arms around him, breathing in his scent

He hugged you bag but went even more red - is that even possible??? - when he felt that the back was laddered and an entrance to your bare back.

“Um you look... very cute” he was now imaging you wearing all of his clothes. Boi was beetroot red someone help him.

“I could pair this with some denim shorts and it would be a date night outfit yeah?” You said taking a step back and spinning round for him

MC why u wanna make this precious boi jealous?? XD

He pulled you in for a quick kiss, “no this is just for me. You’re mine. No one else can see you looking this...” he paused as his ears started to go red again, “good”

Safe to say you didnt kill him for discovering he had several bruises across his back. BUT MC U SAID NO BANDAGES OR BLEEDING SO TECHNICALLY ITS FINE

Kiro:

You had woken up super late - like 11am - after gaming and doing other stuff.... all night. Your body still kinda hurt and ached a little... clearly from doing all of that just dance marathon stuff. If you think kiro isn’t a just dance kinda man i will fight you

The bed was more spacious than normal and you didn’t have a cute blonde cuddling up next to you. Odd. You looked over towards the bathroom but the light was off.

God what day was it? You reached over sluggishly to the bedside table and looked at your phone. It was Wednesday but thankfully you were having a week off after finishing a big project with Kiro’s help.

You had worked the hardest with the late nights and the weekends you had sacrificed. Anna and Kiki thought it was best for you to have a little holiday.

You stretched and sat up. You looked around. Kiro’s jeans were gone and phone. Maybe he had gone to the shops?

You honestly couldnt remember if had anything in his schedule today. Even though he was taking a mini holiday himself - you both timed it perfectly - he still had to do interviews here and there to make Savin happy.

You rubbed your eyes. You didn’t remember where you’re clothes from last night were but they were in NO state to wear. Clearly because of all the sweat from just dance AND NOTHING ELSE ;)

You opened Kiro’s walk in wardrobe. You lazily looked for something to just wear so that you could walk round the house, comfortable but not just nude. Kiro’s house was big and Savin had a key

You picked up a signature yellow and white tshirt that Kiro often wore to events and fan signings. It matched his hoodie but it was perfect for the warmer weather.

Boi was only a few inches taller than you so it JUST came to below your butt. You’d have to bend from the knees and not the waist. Unless you want your butt to be on show.

You found some black unused underwear and popped them on. You debated onto weather you could be bothered putting socks on or not. Then you remembered that Kiro had central floor heating so nahhhhhh

You wandered round the house looking for Kiro. Your bare feet making a gentle thudding noise across the marble floor.

You gave up home when you couldnt find him in the games room or living room so you decided to go get yourself a snack.

You walked in and froze as you saw Kiro. In front of a camera. A LIVE camera. And Savin sat just out of frame.

You just remembered that wednesday afternoons were the weekly Kiro livestreams.

KILL ME

Boi instantly caught your eye and then looked at what you were wearing - barely anything

Whatever he was saying before he was silent. Boi was SHOOKETH. He COUGHED LOUDLY and went a bright scarlet red from his neck to his face.

The livestream chat was going mental as they couldnt see you from the camera angle positioned on Kiro’s face. They were wondering what he was getting so worked up about. It was a really good job that the camera could only see from the waist up

“H-hey guys, sorry I’m gonna have to cut the livestream short.” Savin had his head in his hands, “I’m just not..” he stole another glance at you while you were trying to reach the top of the shelf where the cookies were and his tshirt lifted up higher exposing more. “I’m just not feeling too good.” He chuckled bashfully as he rubbed the back of his neck embarrassed.

The chat soon filled up with #get better soon kiro as well as #curiouskiro was trending. Some people speculated that Kiro might have a lover. The fan theories went mental.

“I’ll see you guys next week bye!” And the livestream ended. You blushed as you saw Kiro’s gaze and you crunched on your cookies while looking at the floor.

Savin got up to go and leave and sort things out for Kiro online, to make ensure his reputation wasn’t going to fall because of this unexpected situation.

“Thats my tshirt!” He said as he came over to you still red

“Yeah... and?” You mumbled a mouth full of cookies. Thats not the only thing your mouth’s gonna be full of in a minute miss chips - I’m sorry please forgive me i had to XD

“Miss chips is not allowed to look that good” he whined, “i was doing an interview, i was gonna be back in like half an hour and you looked so peaceful-“

You pressed a finger to his lips to shush him, “well we can still go back to bed now...”

SAY. NO. MORE

Boi picked u up and carried you upstairs, bridal style.

A week later you made your relationship public. At first the fans were a little upset but then soon adored you when you revealed a little of why Kiro was so blushy the previous Wednesday. #blushyboikiro was trending for a MONTH

BONUS: Shaw:

He had to rush off to his exam in the morning after promising to meet up afterwards for breakfast/lunch

This was at 8am. [bitch you aint getting out of bed at 8am on a day off? Beauty sleep is very important]

His exam was three hours long [the pain of uni exams, i get you Shaw i get you] and you woke up at 11:39

SHIT

You scrambled for your things but the night before outfit was not really brunch appropriate so you settled for something a lil more casual [and devious]

You grabbed one of his favourite tshirts which fell down to your mid thigh, and cut a slit at the bottom and safety pinned it together [ya know for that EDGY look] [i dont know what the kids are up to these days but i saw my friend do it and she’s cool so]

You grabbed ur cropped zip hoodie, put on some thigh high stockings, put on ur black boot heels from last night and you were ready to go. [you also sprayed some perfume on ur neck, wrist and garter while u were at it. LOOK SIS YOU DEVIOUS AND U KNOW THAT SHAW LIKES IT]

You rushed out the door and thankfully the subway wasnt busy and you got there just as the doors opened and the students came plodding out. You stood there with a coffee in your hand and the other one twiddling your hair in an OH so cute way. [you know how to look cute mmkay]

Several students walked out through the doors but you didnt end up seeing him. Darn you for being so short.

So you sat down on the low wall near the university’s fountain. Your little safety pin glistening in the sun and the tshirt putting your garter on show. [we like that casual but i secretly put in loads of effort kinda vibe]

You started scrolling through Moments incase he got out early but the shitty university wifi meant that it wasn’t refreshing. Furthermore the sun was shining in ur eyes so you couldnt really see much even when your phone was on full brightness

Then a tall shadow blocked the sun and you looked up and saw Shaw stood over you with a sleepy but piercing gaze.

“What are you doing wearing my Black Sabbath Tshirt?” He looked you up and down. Boi was clearly shook but he was damned if he was going to let you know this. Even though you already knew this.

“What you don’t like it? How did your exam go?” You said getting up to give him a quick hug. You knew Shaw had expressed he wasn’t a fan of physical affection but he secretly enjoyed the odd hug/hand holding or head scratch from you. Though he would never share this

“You really think you can distract me from your lazy sense of style?” He raised his eyebrows and looked you up and down again. You could see the twinkle of mischief in his eyes.

“Your rebelliousness has rubbed off onto me” [in more ways than one] you gave him a little spin raising your arms a little so that the top of the stockings and garter would come on show.

You could see that his nose went a little red along with the tips of cheeks. He coughed and placed both hands on ur arms firmly. “Let’s go get something to eat.” He swung you around so that you were now walking back to the subway, with his arm round you.

“But this is the way home...?” You started as you turned to look at his face, still walking

“Well we’re skipping straight to dessert” you could see the glint in his eyes and you allowed yourself to be lead.

Now that thsirt was his absolute favourite, especially whenever you decided to surprise him with it after an exam x

Cringing at my own videos

Training Videos Edition!

I got bored, needed motivation to start editing, went back to take a look at my older videos, and now I judge and cringe at them because that’s a given at this stage

Under the cut to keep your dash shorter :3

Determined Horse Training, the title I came up with to be a little unique. I obviously couldn’t use something akin to Northena’s “Training Is Fun...Right?” and I wanted to give it a proper title knowing this would be a series of videos. I thought, and thought, and came up with the title after thinking of Undertale and how you are filled with determination in the game. “I am filled with determination to train these horses!” is what I thought and so the title of the series became that!

I use // as a way to separate different topics I’m talking about

Brave Rebel- First off...the thumbnail. He was originally themed sort of after Nathan Drake from Uncharted, since I was into that series at the time. So the map was, you know, for the treasure hunting. But I didn’t want to stretch the map to fit and somehow decided that a brown background was a good idea?? // AH THE CLOTHES! THE NECK!! AHHH GATORADE OCEAN BLEHH. // Oh yeah I have a spelling error in the video “Let’s go defeat this traning day!”. // Been training with Sage from the start of the series. I wonder how many fails of their’s I’ve caught XD // Ah the rocks, the rocks that I caught Sage stumbling out of in a later training video. // Let’s not forget the double mouse thing going on that makes its appearance in many videos before I figured out to click off of the web pages (which had a music playlist going while training). // Omg there’s someone with the club name The Babies standing nearby when I turn in the final race. // Low-key still love this horse. He was my first true Soul Steed before we were designated to our starter. I don’t take him out much, the difference in horse animations from new to old is getting bigger and for dynamic photos, it just doesn’t look good ( @~@)

Cool Hero- The horse based off of Markiplier back when he had red hair. I also uploaded the video on his birthday! // The song choice....I mean it fits the theme, otherwise I’d pick a better song. // The mini references I’m still low-key proud of. // There’s quite the amount of gliding pons in this video and some horror texture pons. // I obviously had to max Markimoo at the observatory! // I also mimicked Mark’s outros where an image is boomeranging. It took a couple tries with my friend in the background, but it was worth it!

Violet Mystery- I hope when I introduced her as “The winner of the Jorvik Wild horse competition” I mean, she was the first coat to be picked. Back when it was only one horse coat is being made. They added the top two coats afterwards. // Oh yeah the character’s whole head would move to the side to keep eye contact with the camera. // It’s so weird to think that I caught a bit of footage of Swifty just before meeting her. Then again I remember NOT editing this training video until months later and uploaded it in September. Mind you that I got Cool Hero and Violet Mystery at the same time and Cool Hero’s video was out in June...oops. // Ironic that I have the pandoric cracks around when the horse is based off them. // People running up from the riding arena, ah the fog glitch that would happen when you left your horse in the riding area, ran all the way to the dino valley elevator, took it, and there was no fog in the valley!

Megalove- Ah the first Undertale horse! I mean technically still the only Undertale themed horse I have, but I do have others planned. Haven’t gotten them yet and some plans changed. // The thumbnail....why did I make the stickers super tiny?? // Finally changed Elsa’s hairstyle to the ponytail I still wear to this day. We need updated ponytails with side bangs! I know we have the awesome braided ponytail in Mistfall, but there’s too much forehead! // Also the first training footage with the meet up....was 4 hours long. This was back when I recorded all stages of training and went through the footage in real time....I’m glad I changed strategy. // Can’t remember if crashing into a jump and the jump of the music timed at the same point was on purpose or if it was editing magic. // Oof cringing that I put comic sans as Sans “talking” in the video nnngghhhhh! // Ah my old club name Royal Ambassadors. I gave that club over to my side account Chiara Monsterhope for obvious reasons. // Annoying Dog in the credits, I still love that

Lucky Hero- I’m still proud that I came up with his nickname Vien short of Vienna where the famous riding school is. He, along with Brave Rebel, are my top horses. Please get an update eventually boys! // Finally Mac users had clear water! I was so happy over this you do not understand XD // Warriors by Imagine Dragons fits this horse, but quite a pain when I got Dark Warrior and didn’t want repeating songs. // Oh yeah early on, the Lipizzaners had a weird reflective tail glitch going on. // Vien was the first horse of mine that I got the day of release, bright and early in the morning! // I love how in the face of danger, an approaching bull dozer, I just stare at it. It wasn’t even a “oh no I should get out of the way” and instead was “huh that’s a thing”. // ALLY CHUM! I forgot that was a nickname to good friend!

Grey Ghost- OH BOY HERE WE GO!! Honestly my favorite training video. It was so much fun to edit with the music and the Halloween stickers hidden around the screen! Despite waking up at 5am to train for that aesthetic™. // Okay but that mushroom with the dark green sign did legit give me a spook. My body froze for a second and then I remembered that Slenderman doesn’t exist in Star Stable XD. // Ngl two of the stickers are hard to see cause of their surroundings. // GALLOPER THOMPSON MY MAN! Honestly I waited till midnight for him to be in Goldenleaf forest, just to see what would happen if you were racing and he caught you. By the gods of editing magic, the song was at a good point that fits perfectly with that scene. // For the scarecrow race I did actually take two different takes. I failed the first one and when I was editing I noticed that the two runs looked similar. So I put the first part of run 1 and cut before I failed and then put the remaining of the race with run 2. Looks almost seamless!

Silent Promise- My favorite mare in my stable! She ends up being my AoT cosplay photo horse...until I get the actual themed horse XP. // Shadows were a little glitchy at first. // Why am I using Rud instead of Rude. Like I know why cause that’s how we got around the filter, but I didn’t need to put it like that in the video. It’s like back in my WolfQuest days where I learned to use Cuz as a short version of Cause and it bled into my text vocab. // The witch bombs...I wanted to make it dramatic, but in hindsight it’s just tasteless really. Also to note that the sound which was fine before uploading, got more rough once it was on YouTube

Small Potential- Real cringe theme here, Hetalia. It was fun while watching and all that, but since then I’ve seen some well done anime! Growth! // I love the nickname Finny. Not too sure if I want to keep this pony or not, sadly. // The Christmas remix song is because I had no other ideas XD

Brave Eagle- Oh this is another slight cringe theme. Even more cringe is the fact that I had to re-upload this training video since it got blocked all over the world! due to the Hamilton musical songs. So I....had to layer over the songs with other songs....it’s a whole mess and was a whole pain since I had to re-edit the sound effects. // I’m proud of the thumbnail though....that’s it

Winter Dust- Why did I make the “there’s a new app with these foals you can train” with the dramatic music? // I think because I had less levels to train, I tried filling that space with “cool looking shots”. // Ah, yes, my How To Get Over A Jump wikipedia step by step

Hollow Phantom- Had to bring a creepy vibe even though it was February. So he’s like a Halloween not Halloween horse. // Can you believe that I found the main song from a Haikyuu!! crack video? XD. // That zoom on the pony surrounded by magic shires was weird. We’re saying “SO TINY” but the clip was so short it was done and over without much sense. // Mmm that slight irritation that the music and clip didn’t match with the drop. // Tried to blend the music together with itself....it’s obvious. // Of course had to max the Galloper horse where I first met the phantom himself

North Guardian- I wanna talk about the thumbnail....that background...is literally just the horse’s hindquarters. I wanted something mossy since the horse is sort of based off of Pelagia from Shadow of the Colossus. I couldn’t find good enough backgrounds, so I used the horse itself. // Again that urge to want to make the clip and music match but ahhh

Lucky Lucky- Still wish I could name this horse Gold Luck or something. // I think one of the camera turns during a race was just to show off the rainbow nearby. // Ahh! back when we could say “demon” in the chat. // Hmm instead of letting the clip run, I could’ve just cut to Reed calling the askew fence “a disgrace”. // Text was onscreen for just too long. // Trying to do the riding arena jumps with a good camera angle. But at that point, the camera kept moving and wouldn’t hold still. I’m glad it’s better now. Maybe I’ll try it again with a future horse. // Huh, forgot to add sound effects when I hit something on the last race

Silent Surprise- Cause I had to let the people know that I bought the horse after watching the Belmont. // AH STILL THE NECK! // 2 minutes in and we haven’t even gotten to the actual training yet. // Another day, another SSO glitch, this time it’s shadow rocks. // Oop missed a sound effect

Hot Spot- THE MUSTACHE! // I forgot I put a filter over the video to give it an old timey look. I should do more like that if it’s in theme. // Of course I had to have The Wanted be playing with this song since it’s old west sounding. // What was the purpose of editing the scarecrow race like that? XD. // Random running clip. // Walking the whole bobcat race would be nice if I didn’t keep moving the camera

Pumpkin Candy- As much as I love my Halloween horses, this training video isn’t up to the standards that the first Halloween training video set up. It’s still got Halloween themed music, it’s still got stickers hidden in the video, but it doesn’t feel the same. // Having text be their default instead of making them the same agh. // The spooky filter I overlayed the clips with changes at times. Would be nice if it stayed consistent

Dragon Dawn- Hmm now that I have more songs to choose from (getting into another artist as much as I did with The Wanted), I would have another song playing to fit the horse better. Maybe Euphoria or Mikrokosmos. Oh well those will be for future horses eventually! // Didn’t drop with the music...disappointed

Thunder Spirit- The horse that trains through three months. You can easily tell by the Valentine race, the rainbows of March, and April Fools. // Man I really need to work on making the text not be so BIG. // The first rainbow race had lots of sound effects. After that one I was just like “yeah not doing that again”

Sun Chaser- Eh the slowed down music is not the best idea. But I think it was also an intro to a remix of the song. So it was only so long and I had a bit to say for the intro of the horse. // The second clip of the mysterious Icelandic cryptid you can’t see them once it zooms in....annoying. // Too much of a slow build up with another cryptid spotting. // Also using the same sound but slower after just using it...smooth (not). // You know the very last clip of the horse as he’s turning around on the beach? Yeah that’s the exact moment I did the intro for the horse XD

Dragon Warrior- The contrast between me and Sage’s bantering vs the sadder song (I found the song because of a Zeno AMV) well it’s kinda weird having laughs and then sad melody. // YouTube again ruins the quality of the mic as it sounds fuzzier than it was pre-uploaded. // Low-key recording voices was fun aside from having to make sure the clips matched the voices and clicking of the mouse. // I’m still annoyed I couldn’t find the perfect snoring sound effect when Sage’s Connemara is sleeping and starts gliding away

Smoke Mirror- A little too much of a pause between text in the intro. // I love how I’m wearing a Halloween shirt because no other shirt matched with the blue of the hat except for the dress it came with THAT I GOT RID OF!

Obsidian Mystery- I love the thumbnail for her training video. It’s so spooky and cool! Favorite thumbnail of the entire series right there. // Ironic that with the three Halloween horses I’ve had. The two with the upbeat music are the ones where Galloper was present that year. The one where Galloper was missing that October, the music was softer, generic Halloween music. Not intentional, but it works. Though the first Halloween training video still gets the trick-or-treats because it has nostalgic music. // Some text isn’t easily visible

Dark Warrior- The horse I wish I could name Secret Warrior cause that would make SO MUCH MORE SENSE than Dark Warrior, but here we are. // Since Warriors by Imagine Dragons was in a previous training video, I had to search for another song to fit the horse. I literally went through those anime character theme song videos to find one! That was a terrible jump cut of the song

Ember Flame- Coming Soon

Details About My Fursona!

(May contain some material not suitable for those under 13. Reader discretion is advised.)

Art: 'RVBShush' on Twitter

Bits of his character arc

Gerry's personality is largely based on his real life counterpart (me! And my name just so happens to be Gerry! XD)

The story between Gerry and and his real life counterpart are both totally different!

His breed is a American Jackrabbit-European Hare mix, as evident by his ears and his hare-like nose. His biological mother is a jackrabbit named Sarah, and his biological father is an Irish emigrant hare named Dermot (hence Gerry's Irish descent).

He's born and partially-raised in a distant part of the North American region, outside of both Bunnyburrow and Zootopia.

A couple of guys on e621.net (where I upload some of my commission pieces) thought I was making him a child to Judy and Nick, when that's not the case at all. He's in a totally different walk-of-life to them. He is however a major fan of the duo, ever since he discovered them on a reality TV show.

It's often expected in fictional media that rabbits (and sometimes hares) would have dozens of offspring/children (as this is sorta true with wild rabbits, as they tend to commonly produce litters, especially in springtime; pet rabbits would probably do so too if given the opportunity...), but that's not the case with Gerry's family. He was the only child born to the rabbit and hare couple of Sarah and Dermot (until a decade later), but he was kidnapped by a deceitful nanny that they unintentionally hired when he was only a year and a quarter old. He was taken to be sold for overseas child labor, but he would then be rescued by the police that busted this crime syndicate, and brought to an adoption centre at Bunnyburrow, but they were unable to track his parents anywhere. Fortunately, he would be adopted by a kind widowed hare lady named Heidi. 7 years later, he would be reunited with his parents, as they were finally able to discover his whereabouts! And not long after, his parents would then have triplets. Two girls named Elizabeth and Virginia, and one boy named Kevin, thus Gerry would become the big older brother of these kids.

His right-side ear got slightly notched as a result of being bullied at school by both a rat named Jake and a raccoon named Kyle, particularly for his emotional drive and rather wimpy attitude during his foster-child school years.

He's not codenamed 'Andro-Ace Bunny' for nothing. He may be a male, but he's one that's quite androgynous. He has some feminine qualities to him, such as taking interest in some female-oriented activities such as yoga, childcare, etc., getting either really giddy or really annoyed easily, doesn't feel comfortable in taking some major risks, and prefering to sit on the toilet in the restroom instead of standing up like a normal guy (though he sometimes would do the latter). Plus, he has little to no sexual desire or attraction, hence the asexual identity. However, he finds non-sexual/romantic attraction towards both male and female of any species, therefore he's bi-romantic!

Character details about Gerry's parents, his younger triplet siblings and his foster mother Heidi will be coming soon!

His likes and dislikes

He’s very fond of video games, culture, drawing, computers, technology, music (particularly film scores, Xmas songs and chart hits from the 80s and 90s), beverages like Coca-Cola, banana juice and milk tea.

But not exactly a fan of carrots (unusual for bunnies! Another stereotype debunked!), coffee (unless it has milk) and heated arguments.

His favourite love songs are "Beauty and the Beast", "Baby Mine" and "Flying Dreams".

He pursues a career as a game programmer and working at Carrot (the 'Zootopia' version of Apple). Though again, he also enjoys drawing as a hobby.

His inspirations

Judy Hopps

Nick Wilde

Judy's parents, Bonnie and Stu Hopps

Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

Peter Rabbit

Brer Rabbit

Jiminy Cricket

Donald Duck (except less short-tempered)

Mickey Mouse

Goofy (mainly his 'George Geef' alter-ego)

Fiver (Watership Down the TV series, especially in his design and colors)

Buttercup (Watership Down TV series, same with Fiver)

The Nesquick Bunny (especially with fur colors)

Porky Pig

Miles 'Tails' Prower

Gonzo and Rizzo

Thumper (Bambi)

Woody (Toy Story)

Lucky Jack (Home on the Range)

Mike Wazowski

Surly, Buddy and Andie (The Nut Job)

and Myself (e.g. my personality, my interests, my overall character, etc.)

Why he’s a rabbit

Just for those wondering...

(The following is a unpopular opinion) Contrast to most Zootopia fans I know, my favourite character in the movie is actually Judy Hopps (with only Nick Wilde as the runner-up, I will add in all fairness). I relate to her the most, and I find her to be a very positive female role model, especially for the next generations to come.

I've been inspired by the fursonas/Zoosonas of @trashasaurusrex, 'CiderBunArt' and @spazziebunnie to make a rabbit fursona of my own. I had a fursona already but this one was a brown dog. So I gave this character a total makeover during autumn of 2016 and changed his species into a rabbit/hare-mix.

According to Zootopia, rabbits are generally very emotionally-driven and effeminate animals. I could practically relate to this with all sincerity. In real life, I find myself to be less masculine than the average Joe where I come from. I don't work out much. I get really excited about something easily. And I have such a very soft spot for babies, pet animals and other cute things. But then there are times where I'm very emotionally unstable and sensititve. I get nervous easily. And whether it be bad luck or a missed opportunity, I tend to get very frustrated or mad at myself.

Ever since the likes of Zootopia and Watership Down, I found myself very fond of rabbits, more than I ever had before.

(Art pieces visually depicting my fursona's story arc will be coming soon and added to this post)

ConFuzzled 2018 (aka. my first furry con)

Alright. Here's my post about Confuzzled 2018 (which was in May) that I've been putting off for way too long, because I’m lazy and I just took so many photos XD I guess this also counts as a face reveal of sorts, as I didn't have a fursuit and I don't think I've ever uploaded any pics of myself here (I should really upload some of my cosplay pics sometime though). Photo captions are below each image, or set of images.

The first fursuiter I got a photo with. Not the first one I saw, but the first one I got a photo of :)

Noodles the Asian Dutch Angel Dragon, who I thought was absolutely adorable ^_^ I don't think I'd ever seen an Eastern-inspired Dutchie before this one. He/she(?) even had whiskers!

A dragon I asked for a photo just before another suiter came up to them and started messing around XD (Yes, the other one did get booped after the last pic was taken)

This was like an official cake for the convention or something? Either way, it looked amazing :D

A fursuiter (with another one in the background) who was playing music through a portable speaker. He was also in the fursuit dance competition later that day (I can see why)

Miscellaneous fursuiters I saw around the place whose fursuits I really liked :)

I just loved this guy. His suit was so amazing and detailed, and he was pretty funny too! This photo was taken in the queue to the Dealers’ Den - someone else in the queue asked him for a photo, and he asked them, “would you like a sexy pose or a scary pose?” I can’t remember exactly which one this was, but I think it was the scary pose XD I kept seeing him around the con, and he was honestly really cool.

Someone in the Dealers’ Den had a sketchbook that she’d been letting people doodle in for the last few years, and if you visited her stall you could doodle in it too. So I drew a badly-drawn headshot of my fursona, and @celticwarriormoon (who was with me) drew her dragon character Seetam :)

I only found out after the con that you weren’t allowed to take photos or film in the Dealers’ Den, whoops ^^; The person at this stall obviously didn’t mind though.

Just a Lycanroc :D

I couldn’t believe it when I saw this guy at Confuzzled! I’d seen Sunny Dingo in furry vines and videos before, but I was not expecting him to turn up at a UK con. Either way, I seized the opportunity and got a photo with him after I’d had a few snacks :D

Some photos of me with my friend @lankylunatic (as SW7 the hyena) and their friend Jasper (a monster wolf I think? I’m 99% sure). I loved hanging out with these guys so much! This was actually the first time I’d seen SW7 as a full suit in person :D I’d only seen him as a partial before Confuzzled, but as a full suit he looks even more amazing! Both of these fursuits looked way better in person than these slightly blurry photos, I really didn’t do them justice here D:

Another popufur! As if Sunny Dingo wasn’t enough, I also got a photo of Artemis :D I recognised him from his Youtube channel, Artemis Wishfoot. I think he was also at the Youtube Furs panel (but I didn’t go to that)

A kitsune I didn’t get the name of, but they had a nice design :)

A really cute Dutch Angel Dragon who was playing around with SW7 and co. I thought their suit was adorable :)

I bought a pair of wolf ears that perfectly match my fursona in the Dealers’ Den earlier that day, and I put them on in the bathroom before going back out to meet more fursuiters. I found one cosplaying as Reaper from Overwatch and got this photo with them :D They were amazing! Unfortunately this is the only photo I have with my ears on as I wasn’t wearing them the whole day.

Another fursuiter in cosplay, this time as Junkrat from Overwatch :) The Reaper from earlier also interacted with them a bit, which I loved XD

Gaming-themed artwork on some of the windows. It was amazing :)

I thought this fursuiter was really cute! I found out recently that their name is Took :D

Some sort of zombie dog/wolf who I thought was really cool :)

A dragon whose design sorta looked Eastern dragon-ish (I think it did, anyway) :)

Two adorable Dutch Angel Dragons who I kept seeing around the con. Both of them squeaked/chirped, and one of them sounded kinda like Telephone :D I saw the one on the left nose-boop someone’s camera earlier on, and it was honestly the most adorable thing ever! ^_^ I just love Dutchies so much :)

This wolf (I think?) came up behind me as I was taking photos of the dragons in the previous pic. Their suit was really realistic and detailed :D

The main hall before the fursuit dance competition. I loved the lighting effects :)

Don’t know if you can see it that well, but the presenter of the dance comp was dressed in a Mario outfit XD

Photos from the dance comp, judges’ performance and results (I know some of them are blurry and hard to see, but I couldn’t help that with all the movement and excitement)

I got a photo with Mutley and Zephyr after the dance comp! :D I’d met Mutley before at Dublin Comic Con 2017. This was my first time seeing her in person again after that :) I also recognised Zephyr from DeviantArt, so it was nice to get a photo with her as well.

Last but DEFINITELY not least, I managed to get a photo with BeautyOfTheBass!! :D Ever since finding out about her online, I’d dreamed of meeting her in person. That dream came true at Confuzzled :’) She came joint second in the dance comp audience vote, and I was so happy for her. She also debuted the Bass 3.0 suit at the dance comp, and I absolutely love the new design! (Her old one was pretty cool as well though.) I’m kind of annoyed that my sister (who isn’t a furry) got a better photo with Bass than I did, but at least I got to meet her. It’s the memory that counts. ^_^

(I also got a pin from Bass’s stall in the Dealer’s Den earlier on, so that’s something as well)

All the stuff I got in total (first pic), and everything including stuff my sister got as well (second pic). It was a good haul, not bad for my first furry con XD

All in all, ConFuzzled 2018 was an amazing experience. I’d highly recommend the convention to other fellow furries, and I hope to go again next year! :D

Bonus!

I also got a little Bolt plushie the night before I went to the con! I saw him in a Disney store in a shopping centre and I knew I had to get him. He’s such a special boy and I love him so much ^_^ Just another great souvenir from my Confuzzled trip. :)

Final Fantasy X HD Remaster Part 8 - Someday the Dream will End

(Thought it’d be a great title since the above is my favourite soundtrack and this is my last post on FFX! XD)

Yay! I got Lulu’s Venus sigil! I was hesitant to start the dodging lightning thing since you have to dodge 200 in a row, but omg, after going on YouTube and knowing that there’s a ditch where you can easily gather the rhythm to do it 200 times, it only surprisingly took me like an hour and a half after getting distracted a few times and failing lmao. Gotta say though, much easier than the stupid Chocobo race for Tidus!🙄 Next thing you know, I try the butterfly catching game for the Saturn sigil and start to contemplate whether I really want to be a perfectionist lmao. I totally forgot that I hate the butterfly game the most, like THE MOST. It’s literally frustrating me more than the Chocobo and lightning combined, I don’t know why everyone on the internet says it’s the easiest of the mini games😣😣 Okay, fine, after another half an hour with trial and error, I finally got the Saturn sigil too, not that bad I guess….

Finally got all the celestial weapons too yeee~ I’ve never gotten everything before so I’m pretty happy right now hahaha! So Yu Yevon is the one that’s been constantly causing this all for a thousand years, hiding within Sin using him as an armour, and then when people defeat Sin with the powers Yunalesca tells them about, he merges with the Final Aeon to continue this cycle of life and death. I guess when everything works out, it’ll be good, but once they defeat Sin, the Fayth will stop dreaming and Tidus will disappear… It’s kinda funny how you used to be all concerned about Yuna dying and now near the end of the game, you instead have to be concerned over Tidus disappearing instead. Why can’t they just be happy together sigh..

Well! I legit spent a day farming sphere levels for Rikku and Tidus to finish off the sphere grid getting all the strength and agility nodes but omggg, can I just say that having triple AP instead of double AP is like the biggest difference ever? LOL. And omg overdrive -> AP is like the best thing ever. So easy to level lol. Funniest thing was when Don Tonberry did 83k damage on my Tidus though hahahaah, did I really kill that many monsters with him🤣 But yeah, it’s cool that I’m progressing with my sphere grid but I’m kinda sad that I’m one hit KOing everything lol. I mean, this is the first time I’ve ever gotten so far in FFX so I feel like I’m killing my experience haha! But I really want to fight nemesis and penance and all the dark aeons so oh well. Btw, it’s because I OHKO Seymour in Sin and didn’t get to see him do anything with his cool music hahaha. At least Yuna finally sent him to the farplane lol. Anyway, back to farming monsters, just need to finish Sin and Omega Ruins and I’m doneeee!

GG though, Omega Ruins took sooo long (I guess Sin did too) but dang was it annoying lol. So anyway, after much leveling with Don Tonberry again, and getting all the strength, defence, magic, magic defence, agility, luck and fortune spheres, I am legit done with the whole sphere grid! I’m honestly not dedicated enough to do 255 everything, so since 255 luck = 255 accuracy and evasion, I am not going to bother lolll. Agility maxes out at 170 as well so yayyy, don’t need to farm moreeee. I’ve legit been spending my week doing all this lmao, watching TVB and farming, that’s been my life hahaha. It’s kinda crazy seeing myself finish all this though. It was super time consuming but it’s nice to see my characters deal 99,999 damage haha. Coolest thing was defeating all the creations by the Monster Arena guy and then beating up Nemesis! Yesssss! It could have been easier if I set my overdrive mode to Comrade (charges overdrive when allies are hit) since he dealt so much damage lol, but silly me left it on Warrior (charges overdrive every time I attack), so yeaaaah, that took longer than I wanted hahaha. Btw, Nemesis is ugly but yay! I’ve completed another goal of mine! Oh yeah, I also beat Omega Weapon, of which, he was so underwhelming, especially with the random monsters you have to fight along the way, FFVIII was so much more annoying and challenging imo with the Ultima Weapon and other guys. I guess we’ll see how I feel once I defeat all the Dark Aeons and fight Penance hahaha.

The Dark Aeons were relatively easy! Especially if you have ribbon/stoneproof, not being petrified and shattered is like the most important thing imo lol. Dark Bahamut kept killing me and pissing me off because he kept petrifying my guys and killing them lol, I had to put stoneproof on my armour to survive, worked out well since I needed it for the Magus Sisters too haha. And yes, I was lazy to fight them altogether so I separated them and fought the sisters one by one to save myself from the agony lol. And what do you know? Dark Yojimbo was actually the one to bring the most trouble! It’s not even because he was hard, it was because I had to fight him 5 times to defeat him and initially, I didn’t know and just defeated him four times and was like wth, why isn’t Penance appearing?! So then, I googled and realised that I had kept missing the true third battle in the green room, so yeah, that frustrated the hell out of me because I legit defeated him 10+ times because I went to the wrong place, didn’t understand etc, yeaaah I was raging lol. I really wanted to finish the game and defeat Penance in the same day with the Dark Aeons so yeah, I was annoyed that I was not on schedule lolol. Oh well, more time to prepare for Penance I guess.

So…. I tried Penance and I died hahahah. Gotta revise my armour lolol. I think ribbon, auto-potion (with only x-potion), auto-haste and auto-protect might be the best combo. I’ll try that and see. Or not lolll! My biggest problem with Penance was not surviving his immolation attack that does a lot of HP damage and sucks all your MP too. Well, anyway, after much googling etc, I revised my armour again, luckily I had 6 million to spend bribing monsters for stuff lmao. I used auto-potion, auto-haste, auto-protect and defence +20%. This accompanied with Rikku’s Ultra NullAll mix (lasts the whole battle as long as you don’t die!) gave me enough defence to survive the whole battle (yay!). After that, it was really rinse and repeat of destroying the arms and then hitting the main body whenever I could. It probably legit took 20-30 minutes. Crazy for sure. Not sure whether it’s really worth it since I didn’t feel very accomplished LOL, I just felt like a robot constantly using quick hit (throwing a three stars so it doesn’t cost MP), dispelling after every immolation attack and thankfully, I had auto-potion because it would have killed me if I had to heal myself every turn. So yeah, after that, it was really just a waiting game where I just kept doing the same thing for 30 minutes, yeah it was pretty boring. I liked the optional bosses from previous games more.

And now I can finally fight Sin! Honestly, seeing Tidus finally open up to Jecht a bit more and be a bit more honest, I felt happy for Jecht. He’s always loved Tidus. Too bad it wasn’t meant to be for them to ever be able to hang out together like buddies. Since I maxed out my stats, last boss was so easy, I barely did anything. Kinda feel like I should have let him do something so I could see it lol, but I was too fast hahaha. Pretty devastating to see Yuna summoning every single summon for Yu Yevon to take over and then we kill it to stop Yu Yevon from having anything to take over anymore. It was heartbreaking to see all the Fayth go like that. But at least, as they said, they can now stop dreaming… Auron always has to be cool doesn’t he lolll, even when Yuna sends him to the Farplane. It hurt when he told Yuna that it was okay to send him. I really liked Auron. It was also saddening when Tidus was like, this is his last battle with them because he’s going to disappear, I guess at least he told them. Slack to Yuna when she wanted to hug him but he was disappearing. Especially when at the end, she kept whistling, waiting for him to come back.

Never even know the Eternal Calm video or whatever existed. Kinda feels weird though because it’s set two years later where all Yuna has been doing is being something like a counsellor to people until a sphere of someone who looks like Tidus (Shuyin~) is found by Kimahri, given to Rikku and then shown to Yuna and then she decides to go look for other spheres like it and soon becomes a sphere hunter. Considering that FFX-2 is set two years later which I assume is not long after this, her personality sure changed quite a bit after getting some freedom haha. I guess it’s true that Yuna has never truly lived for herself until now so it is nice that she can do that now, but how did she learn to use a gun so fast? Lol.

Overall, I enjoyed FFX, but honestly, it’s not one of my favourites haha. It’s one of the first I played as an adult probably but yeah, if I had to really choose, I prefer the previous much more. But I do like FFX because of how much more, simple it is? It’s simple, straightforward and emotional. Rikku and Yuna will always be my favourites. Wakka being silly is also a highlight. Cool Auron will always be the dream guy though hahaha. Happy that I can finally say I’ve finished it completely! Now on to getting 100% completion for FFX-2! I got like 98 or 99 on my first playthrough with the help of a guide every now and then but now I’m gonna use a guide for the whole thing and hope I get the 100% this time around hahaha, wish me luck~

One Last Dance ~ Jikook

Hey, this is a story I wrote for a school project, we had to make up an informative story about a cancer of our choosing, and being the massive ARMY I am I just had to make it into a fanfic. I’m actually kind of proud of this so I thought I would share it, instead of it just sitting on my computer forgotten. This is my first ever attempt at writing a fanfic so I welcome any helpful tips and critique you can give. This story does focus on lung cancer and isn't the happiest of endings, so if you feel like you might get triggered or upset by that I totally understand and you don't have to read it. There is no ‘hyung’ or anything like that in this story either, I thought I would give you a heads up on that, I know I got kind of confused when I was writing this but I left that stuff out cos I know it would have confused the hell out of my teacher. XD Anyway I’ll stop rambling, I hope you enjoy my story.

Frustrating. That’s the word Jungkook would use if he was asked about his day. Jungkook woke up late missing the first half of his class, which earned him a stern lecture from his professor after class, and made him late to his next class. This seemed to be a recurring event throughout his day.

After a horrid day at uni the last thing Jungkook wanted to do was have to catch a bus to the hospital. Now don't get him wrong, he loves his nan and was so worried when she fell in the garden at home, but right now Jungkook just wanted to go back to his apartment and sleep.

After finally getting off the bus and into the hospital Jungkook spent no time at all getting up to his nan’s floor. While walking down the hallway Jungkook passes a boy standing in the waiting room. The boy seemed to be about Jungkook’s age but almost a full head shorter than him with dirty blonde hair that just passes his ears, he looked to be as frustrated as Jungkook felt today. The boy seemed to be alone and pretty close to tears, Jungkook felt an urge to go over to this mysterious boy and comfort him, but by the time he got the guts to go over to the boy, he had already disappeared down another hallway. Annoyed at the missed opportunity Jungkook made his way to his nan’s room.

Jungkook really loved his nan. He’d been living with her since he was eight after his parents had a bad divorce and neither of them had the money to support him on their own. When Jungkook moved out to attend university and stay in a apartment he now shared with his best friend to be closer to the campus they both attended, Jungkook would try and visit his nan as much as possible, worried she’d become lonely.

After a good three hours of talking to his nan, Jungkook left the hospital with the promise of coming back tomorrow. Making his way towards the bus stop Jungkook notices another person there. As Jungkook gets closer he notices that the person was shorter than him and was shivering, which is understandable during a cold autumn night. When he makes it to the stop he soon realises it’s the same boy from the hospital. Just as he starts to build up the courage to talk to this boy again, the bus pulls up and the boy rushes on to try and escape the cold. Annoyed at not being able to talk to the boy for a second time he follows the boy onto the bus. Jungkook has no idea why he’s so determined to talk to this boy but when he sees the boy sitting alone at the back of the bus, Jungkook forgets about his thoughts and sits next to the boy.

There’s an awkward silence between them for a few minutes. It dawns on Jungkook that he has no idea what he’s doing, the boy just seemed so sad before that Jungkook thought he’d try and comfort him and that he has no clue what to say or how to start talking to him.

“Can I help you?”

Shocked that the boy spoke to him first, Jungkook tries to quickly compose himself before replying back.

“Uh… hi, I uh… I-I saw you at the hospital today and I just… uh… I just wanted to talk to you, I guess.” Jungkook silently berates himself for suddenly not being able to form proper sentences.

“Why?” the boy asks sounding annoyed.

“Uh… well you just seemed really frustrated and kinda sad. So I thought I could help, somehow,” Jungkook replied suddenly realising how weird this was. “I’m Jungkook by the way,” Jungkook says with a wary smile.

“Jimin,” the boy replies after a short pause, “and I don't need some stranger to comfort me. You don't know me and have no idea what I’m going though so just leave me alone,” Jimin bites back before standing up and departing the bus.

——

For the next few days Jungkook starts visiting the hospital more regularly to try and catch a glimpse of Jimin. He tries talking to the boy but he usually gets ignored. There were a few times where there was another person with Jimin, this person was about Jungkook’s height and had broad shoulders. Those days Jimin wasn't on the bus.

Jimin isn’t at the hospital for the next three weeks which worries Jungkook for reasons he doesn't know. A week later Jimin is back when Jungkook makes his way down the hall. For an unknown reason the sight of Jimin makes Jungkook really happy. Out of excitement Jungkook approaches Jimin to try and talk to him again.

“Hi,” Jungkook says happily.

Jimin gives him a weird look before sighing and saying, “Hi.”

Surprised to get a response Jungkook stammers for a moment before replying “Um… hi, uh… heh, sorry I wasn't expecting you to reply. H-how are you? I mean you haven't been around the last couple of weeks and I was just wondering if you were ok. Which you probably are because you haven't been in hospital and all but… uh sorry, I’m rambling.” Jungkook stops himself and shyly looks up to see Jimin with an amused look on his face.

Jimin gives a slight giggle then replies, “I’m going good, I guess. Well as good as you can be while having chemo. It’s also why I’ve been away for a couple of weeks, my body needs a break from the drugs and stuff.”

“C-Chemo?” Jungkook stammers at the new revelation.

Chuckling softly Jimin replies back, “What? Were you so distracted by my pretty face that you didn’t notice where I was going every time I left you standing here?”

“Uh, uh I-I guess so,” Jungkook says shocked with himself that he didn't realise the sign hanging over the hallway entrance saying “Cancer Ward”.

“Well it’s nice to know that someone noticed me before my cancer for once,” Jimin says back.

“B-But your hair…?”

“A wig.”

“Ah…”

There’s a stiff silence for a few minutes before it’s interrupted by the same broad shouldered man Jungkook has seen a few times before.

“Jimin! What are you doing still standing here? Your going to be late to your appointment,” the man says, concern entering his voice.

“Sorry Jin, let’s go. See you later Jungkook,” Jimin replies before leaving with Jin.

——

The next few weeks seem to fly by. After their first proper conversation Jimin seems to have started opening up a bit more to him, which Jungkook is super happy about, and has started to get to know Jimin. They never spoke about the cancer, Jungkook doesn't even know what type it is, but that’s ok with him. He doesn't want to pester Jimin with questions if he doesn't want to talk about it. Jungkook doesn't mind though because Jimin himself is such an awesome and interesting person to talk to.

Talking to Jimin is so easy for Jungkook, they always have something to talk about. Their main interest to talk about is music, with Jungkook minoring in singing and Jimin who majored in dance, they always had something to talk about. Whether it be about a new song a favourite artist released, watching Jimin’s old dance performances or a new song Jungkook has to learn for his class.

“I want to show you something,” Jimin states suddenly.

“What?”

“Come on.”

Jimin pulls Jungkook off his couch where they had been sitting playing video games for the last two hours and drags Jungkook out of the apartment to the bus stop.

“Where are we going?”

“My old dance studio.”

“Wait? Why?” Jungkook asks stunned as they board the bus.

“Because I haven't been there since I found out I had cancer and I’ve been really wanting to go back lately, but I don't want to go alone. I just want you there for support… is that ok?”

Honoured that Jimin would choose and trust him enough to do this, Jungkook gives a shy smile and replies, “That’s definitely ok. I’m kind of surprised you’d choose me and not Jin though.”

“Yeah. I don't know, there’s just something about you that makes me feel really safe and comfortable. I feel like I can tell you anything, even things I can’t tell Jin.”

Rendered speechless by that confession, Jungkook lets himself be dragged off the bus and into a small building just down the street. There’s a small reception desk to the left and a long hallway straight down. There are multiple doors along the hallway. Jimin starts to pull Jungkook a door, he notices the subtle rhythm of music on the other side.

Jimin opens the door and the sudden blast of the music hits the both of them. The room is small, and when entering Jungkook notices a huge mirror covering the entire back wall. There’s a stereo and laptop set up to the left, where the loud music is coming from. In the middle of the room there’s a young man dancing, he seems completely entranced with what he’s doing and doesn't even realise Jungkook and Jimin has entered the room.

It’s not until the music ends does the man come out of his hypnotic state and sees the two other men in the room.

With a big, bright smile the man runs over to them and screams, “JIMIN!” And scoops him up into a tight hug.

Laughing, Jimin reciprocates the hug.

“Oh my god! Jimin you’re back! How are you? Are you doing better? What took you so long to come see me? I’m so sorry I haven't been able to visit you lately, I’ve just been so busy with the next performance coming up,” the ecstatic man babbles on.

“Haha, it’s good to see you too Hobi! It’s ok, I understand. Sorry I haven't been able to see you here, I just haven't had the guts to come back I guess.”

“Don’t worry man I totally get it,” Hobi exclaims before turning to look in Jungkook’s direction. “Now are you going to introduce me to your extremely attractive friend here or do I have to find out for myself?”

Jungkook blushes slightly as Jimin gives an awkward laugh. “This is Jungkook, we met at the hospital.”

“Ah maybe I should start taking over Jin’s job of taking you to your chemo sessions if it gives me a bigger chance of finding myself a super hot boyfriend,” Hobi says as a smile creeps onto his lips.

Frozen by that comment Jimin stutters trying to reply. Thankfully Jungkook gets over the shock first. “I-I’m not his boyfriend, we’re just friends.”

“Ah, ok totally whatever you say man,” Hobi retorts back with a confident smile. “Oh shit is that the time?! Hey I’ve got to go. I’ve got a class to teach soon. I’ll see you later Jimin, we’ll have to catch up sometime soon. Also nice meeting you Jungkook, the ‘not boyfriend’.”

Hobi exits the room laughing, leaving Jungkook and Jimin in the studio with flustered faces.

After a few seconds Jimin sighs at his friends antics and tugs Jungkook over to a small two person couch near the door opposite the mirror.

“Interesting friend you have there,” Jungkook laughs.

“Yeah he can be a bit eccentric sometimes.”

“So, what are we doing here, I know you wanted to come back and all, but are we just going to sit here or do you want to look around?”

Taking a few minutes to think of a proper reply Jimin shyly states, “I actually wanted to come here to tell you about myself.”

“What do you mean? Isn't that what we've been doing these last couple of weeks?” Jungkook asks confused.

“No, I mean about the other part of me… my cancer. I know you want to know and I’m thankful you haven't been badgering me with questions about it, but I feel like I can trust you with this side of me and I wanted to tell you here because this place has always been a second home to me. I guess I just wanted to talk about this somewhere I feel most safe.”

“Oh… yeah, I’m actually kind of flattered that you would trust me with this sort of thing.”

“Yeah, well you’re someone special to me now, so I trust you.” Not knowing what to say after that confession Jungkook stays quiet, but thankfully Jimin keeps talking.

“So I should probably start by saying that I have lung cancer, specifically the last stages of stage three non-small cell lung cancer, which basically means it’s in both of my lungs.”

“It was actually Jin who suspected something was wrong at first. Because Jin’s a medical student, he could see the signs before I did. It started as just not being able to keep up with Hobi anymore while we were dancing. I needed more breaks, I had shortness of breath and I got tired more often even with a good nights sleep. Then I developed a really annoying cough that just wouldn't go away. Jin started pestering me about going to the doctors but I just kept telling him it was just a cold that I’d caught. He stopped pestering me about it after we’d gotten into a small argument with me telling him that he was just being paranoid because he’d just finished a big project on cancer, ironically.”

Jimin takes a moment to pause before continuing.

“I started randomly losing weight and my appetite about a month later. Jin started getting super worried again. I just kept brushing him off saying I was obviously just working too hard, he didn't believe me though. It wasn't until one night Jin, Hobi and myself were sitting on the couch in my apartment that I finally believed Jin. I started having a massive coughing fit and…”

Jimin pauses, trying to calm his racing heart down. Jungkook, seeing this, puts his hand on Jimin’s which seems to do the trick.

“… and when I’d finally stopped coughing I pulled my hand away from my mouth to see it covered in blood. I don't really remember much after that of that night, I think I started to have a panic attack. Hobi told me he had to try and keep calming me down while Jin rushed me to the emergency room.”

“I had a bunch of tests done. I had a chest x-ray, a CT scan, a PET scan and a biopsy and they all came back with me having stage two lung cancer. I’ve had surgery to have part of my right lung removed, I think it was called the lower lobe or something, you’d have to ask Jin about all the medical stuff, I don't really get it,” Jimin says, giving an airy laugh.

“It didn't work though, they must have missed some of the cancer or something because it ended up coming back worse than before, the start of stage three. The doctors considered me having another surgery and taking out my whole right lung but the thought of having my entire right lung removed scared me so much that by the time I’d had multiple conversations with both my doctor and Jin, the cancer had already spread to my left lung. With both of my lungs now slowly weakening the surgery wasn’t an option anymore.”

Taking a deep breath Jimin gives a sad laugh and says, “You know I sometimes blame myself for all this. When we were trying to figure out what caused the cancer Jin and I would stay up all night looking through his medical books tying to find an answer. I’ve never worked with dangerous substances like uranium or radon or asbestos so we crossed that off the list. I’ve never had any other trouble with my lungs in my life, I've never had HIV so that’s crossed off. I have no idea of my family medical history, so that only left one thing… smoking. But I’ve never smoked in my life. It wasn't til Jin asked me if I knew anyone who smoked that I knew what caused all this.”

Taking another short pause Jimin continues.

“Both of my parents have smoked for as long as I can remember. I don't blame them though, I should have avoided them more or put more distance between us when they were smoking. I brought this upon myself by not taking better precautions.”

By this point there were tears starting to well up in Jimin’s eyes, Jungkook couldn't stay quiet for any longer, he had to say something.

Taking both of Jimin’s hands in his, he looks into his watery eyes and says, “It’s not your fault, it is not your fault Jimin. Your parents should have been more careful who they smoked around. Don't you dare blame yourself for something that you had no control over.”

“I-I can’t blame them, my parents died in a crash a year before this all happened, I feel like I’m dishonouring them if I blame them for this.”

“You’re not dishonouring them, I’m sure they would feel so guilty if they were still here. They would hate to see you blaming yourself for something that was unavoidable for you. If your parents have been smoking for that long you probably started getting second-hand smoke when you were just a kid, when you wouldn't have known any better. I’m not saying you need to start hating your parents but you need to accept the fact that this isn't your fault, you had no control over this and it’s not a bad thing to blame the actual cause of this. Ok?”

After a bit of hesitation and contemplation Jimin eventually replies, “Ok, I’ll try.”

Jungkook gives a big smile and gives Jimin’s hands a light squeeze. “Good, that’s all I ask.”

Reciprocating Jungkook’s smile, Jimin wipes his eyes. “Sorry I went off track there, heh, what was I up to…? Oh, right surgery. Um… so yeah both my lungs have cancer in them now which means I can’t have the surgery, which I’m kind of glad about. The thought of having one of my lungs removed still scares the shit out of me. The doctors put me on radiation therapy but my body reacted really badly to it. Like other treatments like this there are side effects but they affected me quite badly. I got a lot of skin damage on my chest like peeling skin and blistering as well as I lost my appetite and lost a whole lot of weight. It got to the point that the doctors took me off the treatment about two and a half months ago, then after a little break put me on chemotherapy, which I’m still on now with about 3 or 4 weeks of chemo left… If this doesn't work, nothing will.”

“It’ll work. It has to.”

Giving a sad smile Jimin replies, “We’ll see.”

There’s a heavy silence that covers the room. Jungkook looks around the room trying to find a way to break this somber silence that fell over them. He spots the stereo in the corner of the room. Smiling excitedly Jungkook looks to Jimin before pulling him up with him and walking over to it.

“How long has it been since you last danced? Two years?”

“Four. Why?” Jimin asks suspiciously.

“Wanna dance now?”

Giving a wistful laugh, Jimin looks to Jungkook sadly. “You know I can’t. I don't have the energy to anymore.”

“Sure you do, we’ll just do it slow,” Jungkook says happily, while looking through his phone for the right song.

“We?”

Suddenly soft music starts playing though the stereo speakers. Looking up in confusion Jimin sees Jungkook looking down at him with a loving look in his eyes and a soft smile on his face, with one hand stretched out awaiting for Jimin to take.

“Yeah, we.”

Stunned and confused as to what’s going on Jimin takes Jungkook’s hand in his and allows himself to be pulled into the middle of the room. Guiding Jimin’s hand to his shoulder, Jungkook puts his on Jimin’s waist and slowly begins to take small steps in a circular pattern, as himself and Jimin begin to dance. Astounded by this outcome Jimin starts tearing up, finally realising what’s happening. For the first time in four years Jimin is dancing, overwhelmed by these emotions flooding over him Jimin tucks his head into Jungkook’s shoulder and starts to silently cry. Holding Jimin close as they continue dancing Jungkook wordlessly comforts Jimin.

They dance together for another twenty minutes before Jimin pulls away from Jungkook.

“I’m starting to get tired, I think I need to sit down,” Jimin states. They make their way over to the couch where they sit down, closer to each other than they did before. They sit in silence for a while as Jimin gains his energy back but it’s not a heavy awkward silence because both boys are content and happy. “Thank you.”

“You don't need to thank me, I enjoyed it. I’m sorry if I stepped on your toes, I’m not the best dancer.”

“Ha, don’t worry you didn’t, you actually seemed like you knew what you were doing. But really, I enjoyed that. Thank you.”

Smiling happily, Jungkook put his arm around Jimin’s waist and pulled him close. “I’m glad, you look better when you smile.”

“But it’s getting pretty late, I have an early class tomorrow and you said Jin was taking you out . We should probably start heading home,” sighed Jungkook as he looked down at the time on his phone.

“Yeah your right. Even though I really enjoyed that dance, I’m buggered.”

Laughing, Jungkook pulled Jimin off the couch and made their way out of the dance studio.

——

Over the course of a month Jimin and Jungkook became really close, spending almost all their waking time together that they could. After Jungkook’s nan was discharged from the hospital he had no reason to visit Jimin there every day. So when Jin wasn’t able to accompany Jimin during his chemo sessions Jungkook would take his place, which neither of the boys complained about. But not everything was as happy, Jimin was now on his last couple days of chemo and would be seeing his doctor soon after some tests to see if the treatment had worked. This had everyone on edge wanting to know if it had actually worked of not. The anticipation was killing everyone.

The day of the appointment arrived, after years of treatment, after years of fear and pain they were finally going to find out if the treatment was successful or not.

Everyone came. Jungkook, Jin and Hobi came to support Jimin, even Jungkook’s room mate and best friend Yoongi came, even though he had only met Jimin a hand full of times. Jungkook accompanied Jimin into the doctor’s office while everyone stayed in the waiting room. “Jimin, it’s good to see you. How are you feeling to day?” The doctor asked.

“I’m ok, bit tired today. This is my friend, I hope you don't mind him being here,” Jimin said gesturing at Jungkook.

“Of course I don’t mind,” the doctor said turning towards Jungkook, “My name’s Dr. Kim, it’s nice to meet you.”

“Jungkook, nice to meet you to,” Jungkook said shaking the doctors hand.

“Now please take a seat, we have a few things we need to discus today,” Dr. Kim said, suddenly serious as he sat down at his desk.

“Can we not beat around the bush too much today please, I just want to know if the treatment worked or not,” Jimin conveys, clearly hearing the nerves in his voice.

Sighing Dr. Kim looks at Jimin. “It didn’t.”

The second the words leave the doctor’s mouth Jungkook grabs onto Jimin’s hand.

“Ah… so I’m still dying then,” Jimin responds very quietly.

“Well…yes. I’m sorry,” Dr. Kim says dejected. “Your cancer in now in the stage four area. The cancer has completely spread throughout both of your lungs and will most likely soon start spreading to your other organs as well. We’re going to put you on some palliative care treatments.”

“What does that mean? I thought there weren't any other treatments,” Jungkook interrupts confused.

“There isn't anymore we can do to stop the cancer, but palliative care focuses on improving Jimin’s quality of life by reducing his symptoms so he’s not in so much pain. We’ll give nutritional and emotional support,” Dr. Kim answers before turning back to Jimin.

“I know you didn't want to go to any therapy sessions Jimin, but they will still be available to you during this time and to any of your friends and family that might need support as well. What we’ll focus on now is trying to make the rest of your life as easy and as enjoyable and comfortable as we can make it,” Dr. Kim finishes.

“Ok, I guess if I’m going to die soon anyway I should enjoy what little time I have left.”

“Yes, good I’m glad you think so. I apologise, but it’s hard to tell just how much time you have left. I’d estimate that it’s around a year. I’m so sorry.”

“Ok… can I leave now?”

“Yes of course go, we’ll make another appointment for another time to talk about this in further detail.”

“Thank you,” Jimin says quietly, as he gets up to leave still grasping tightly on to Jungkook’s hand.

Quietly both boys leave the doctor’s office walking towards their friends. Jin is the first one to see them coming and jumps up out if his seat in anticipation. No words need to be spoken as Jin looks into Jimin’s eyes, it’s clear on both boys expression what the answer to their questions are. Tears start welling up in Jin’s eyes as he tightly embraces his friend. Jimin hugging back just as hard but still refusing to let go of Jungkook’s hand.

The group of friends all quietly make their way to Jungkook and Yoongi’s apartment where they all sit down, and Jungkook explains what the doctor told them, as Jimin has gone silent only sitting on the couch next to Jungkook clutching onto the taller boys hand like it’s his life-line.

——

Over the next few months everyone tries their hardest to pretend like nothing is wrong and try to just make the atmosphere as comfortable and happy as possible, but there’s still that looming fear over everyones head like a giant timer just waiting for the day that the peacefulness breaks.

It happens one afternoon. Jungkook and Jimin are cuddling in Jimin’s bed watching a movie as he’s finding it gradually harder to go places without getting exhausted so quickly. When Jimin starts having the most violent of coughing fits. Jungkook tries his best to attempt to calm Jimin down but when Jimin begins hacking up blood sending both boys into an immense panic, Jungkook calls for an ambulance immediately while still trying to keep Jimin’s fear and panic under control.

The ambulance takes no time at all to make it to the apartment complex and rush Jimin out of the building and into the van with Jungkook trailing behind trying his absolute hardest to keep his sheer panic and anxiety under control.

When they make it to the hospital Jungkook is forced to stay in the waiting room as a medical team try their hardest to calm Jimin down and stop his coughing. Completely and utterly terrified Jungkook calls the first person he can think of.

“Hello?” A low baritone voice answers.

“Yoongi,” Jungkook croaks out breathing heavily.

“Jungkook? What’s wrong? Are you ok?” Sudden concern in his voice.

“Jimin. Coughing. Hospital.”

“Ok, ok kid calm down, I’m on my way right now, I’ll be there in five minutes” Yoongi replies before hanging up and rushing out of his class.

Jungkook doesn't start calming down until Yoongi’s been with him for a whole twenty minutes. Jungkook’s so glad he has Yoongi as a friend, even though the shorter man is four years older than Jungkook, they both make great friends for each other. They’ve both known each other for almost three years now since they started sharing an apartment together. Being a university student definitely doesn't pay well, so living on your own in a two bedroom apartment wasn't an option for Yoongi, which is why he put out an ad looking for a flat-mate. It just so happened that Jungkook was the one who saw the ad, and they’ve been close friends ever since.

“You calmed down now kid?” Yoongi says while slowly rubbing Jungkook’s back.

“As calm as I can be,” Jungkook states quietly.

“He’s going to be fine, don't worry,” Yoongi replies unconvincingly.

“Are you the one who came in with Jimin?“ A female voice swiftly says breaking the silence.

“Yes. How is he?” Jungkook’s voice suddenly on edge.

“He’s doing much better and in a stable condition. I can escort you to his room if you would like.”

“Yes, yes please. Yoongi can you call Jin and Hobi and tell them what’s going on?“

“Sure kid.”

The hospital room is small with only a single bed and chair. Jimin lays quietly on the bed breathing slowly while hooked up to multiple different medical devises that Jungkook has no clue about their purpose. Walking carefully into the room Jungkook makes his way over to the bed and sits down on the chair to Jimin’s right.

“Hey,” Jungkook says as quietly as he can, scared to break the peaceful silence.

“Hey,” Jimin replies back, voice hoarse and sore.

“How are you feeling?”

“Tired, sore, not too great to be honest.”

“You scared the shit out of me, you know,” Jungkook’s voice laced with concern.

“I scared the shit out of myself,” Jimin retorts, giving a small smile and a soft laugh.

They sit in a comfortable silence for a while just enjoying each others presence after such a traumatic event. A hour later Jin and Hobi come by, faces full of worry for their good friend. Yoongi comes in with them after giving Jimin and Jungkook some time by themselves. After a while everyone leaves to give Jimin some time to rest, Jungkook having to basically be dragged out by Yoongi as he had refused to leave.

——

Jimin has been in hospital for almost two weeks now. Jungkook has basically started living in that small room with Jimin as well, only leaving to get food and hasn't been to any of his classes in those two weeks. Jin, Hobi and Yoongi visit as much as they can, as well as Dr. Kim coming every other day keeping a close eye on Jimin’s condition. The cancer is now in Jimin’s liver and is continuing to spread. Everyone can see it, Jimin is fighting a losing battle. That unseeable countdown is nearly over.

——

It’s late at night, the moon shines brightly through the windows of the hospital room, two boys lay quietly on the small bed staring out into the night sky. The room is completely silent, Jimin had all the cords and wires removed the day before. He knew he was dying and it was just a waiting game from now on, Jimin didn't need that damn heart monitor constantly beeping to know that his heart was slowing down and soon would stop, he didn't want that sort of reminder. Jimin has accepted that he’s going to die, has for a while now, he could feel death looming over him, as if the Grim Reaper was standing right over him just waiting for the opportune moment to strike and take him from this world. So he relished in this quiet tranquil moment, strong arms wrapped around him from behind, soft breath fanning over his neck, the knowledge that he wasn’t going to die alone, with Jungkook comforting him in his last few moments.

“Sing for me,” the weak voice so quiet Jungkook had to take a moment to figure out if he actually heard a voice or not.

“What?” Jungkook questions scared to speak to loudly.

“Sing for me,” Jimin replies slightly louder, turing around to look Jungkook in the eyes, “Please?”

“What do you want me to sing?”

“Anything.”

Contemplating for a moment as to what to sing Jungkook opens his mouth and softly starts to sing.

When you say that you love me, Feels like I’m walking across the sky, Tell me about forever, just one more time, When you say that you love me, I just need those words, That you’ll never change, just one more time,

Jungkook sings softly and slowly, the soft baritone voice washing away all of Jimin’s fears and concerns.

You’re everything in this world to me, Harder, so it hurts, hold me tight, We shared something, And you can’t make it nothing, I hope you don’t forever, You’re my, Day by day, Summer, winter, Even if you don’t know,

Jimin relaxes, that Grim Reaper seems to fade away replaced by a soft comforting feeling like a angel floating above them.

You got the best of me, You got the best of me, So please just don’t leave me, You got the best of me,

Jungkook holds Jimin tighter as if he knows what Jimin is feeling right at this moment.

I haven’t seen the end to myself either, But if there’s such a thing, wouldn’t it be you?, I wanted to be a warm wave, But why didn’t I know you’re the ocean?, What do I do? I’m speaking in your language, I’m breathing in your breath, I’ll be you, you hold me, I’m kissing your sword,

Jungkook starts choking on his words as he feels Jimin’s breathing getting slower and slower.

So take my hand right now, I can’t believe myself, Words I said thousands of times only to myself, Don’t leave me, You got the best of me, You got the best of me, Whether this is a dream or reality, it’s not important, Just the fact that you’re by my side, Thanks,

Both boys know what’s happening, but Jungkook continues to sing and for that Jimin is grateful.

Day by day, Summer, winter, Even if you don’t know,

You got the best of me, You got the best of me, So please just don’t leave me, You got the best of me,

Jimin can feel his heart slowing, his limbs feeling heavy and he’s finding it increasingly harder to keep his eyes open.

You’re my salvation, you’re my shield, I just need you, You got the best of me, I need you, So please just don’t leave me, You got the best of me,

Jungkook is crying now, tears start streaming down his face but he continues to sing. He won’t stop, Jimin wanted to hear him sing so he’s going to sing.

It was raining, It was snowing, But all unhappiness stopped, You brought heaven to me, Don’t speak so easily, Because without you, there’s no me, You’re the best of me, The best of me,

Jimin’s vision is getting fuzzy, the clear night sky doesn't look so clear anymore. All the stars blur together. That doesn't matter though as long as Jimin can hear Jungkook’s voice and feel his arms.

Just give me assurance, That’s all I want, Even if there are no rules, Laws of love do exist, Who got the best of me?, Who got the best of me?, No one knows but I know me, My greatest master is you,

Jungkook can’t see anything any more, eyes filled with tears as he feels Jimin take his last breath. Jungkook keeps singing though, clutching tightly onto Jimin’s now still form, and doesn't stop until the song is over.

You got the best of me, You got the best of me, So please just don’t leave me, You got the best of me,

You’re my salvation, you’re my shield, I just need you, You got the best of me, I need you, So please just don’t leave me, You got the best of me,

I’m sorry. I feel like I need to say that, it is a pretty sad ending, I teared up while writing it but hopefully you enjoyed it.

I do have one question though. Who did you imagine Dr. Kim to be? Because at the start I imagined Namjoon but he somehow turned into Taehyung by the end of me writing it, so I’m curious about what everyone else imagined.

Top Ten Favourite Anime Games

For this list, I will only be including games that are specifically considered part of the anime genre, NOT games that were created by Japan Studio or other Japanese companies/creators. So games like shadow of the colossus, Bloodborne, Metal Gear, Resident Evil, etc., won’t be mentioned. While it is arguable that such games could fit the anime genre, it’s never been clarified. So here’s a list of my top 10 anime games.

1. Gravity Rush

There’s no real order for this list EXCEPT for Gravity Rush. It is easily my number one favourite pick. I bought it for next to nothing thinking it would be a cute little experience, but it ended up gripping my interest for four days straight; which is rare for me. While at work, all I could think about was getting back to it, and it’s one of the few games with trophies that didn’t annoy me. Seriously-- not one trophy pissed me off. In every game there’s at least two or three that really grind my gears, but Gravity Rush had nada.

There are several challenges in the game that are tough but fair, and they never become boring because they’re designed in such a way that the more you play them, the better you get. You begin to learn the controls, the landscape, the shortcuts, etc., which makes for some excellent gameplay. At no point in the game do you feel like a failure, which is nice once in a while. On top of that the story is fun, the characters are lovable, and the art is breathtaking. During each new chapter, we’re given information in the form of a hand-drawn manga, which only adds to the uniqueness. The language in the game is also made up, so anyone can relate to it. And the music? Oh, don’t even get me started:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxIC6Vu1ee0&t=43s

And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, they went ahead and created a sequel, Gravity Rush 2! It’s pretty rare, in my opinion anyway, that video games have sequels that measure up to their predecessor, but Gravity Rush 2 might be even better! It lets us revisit old friends, make new friends, explore more areas, it gives us grater challenges and a newly implemented difficulty setting, and additional online adventures that have nothing to do with achievements! What really hits me about these games, though, is the freedom. You get to fly wherever you want, anytime you want, at ridiculous speeds. The world is vast, beautiful, and so fun to navigate.

After playing and falling in love with these games, I can only assume they’re called “Gravity Rush” because they’re an absolute rush to play.

2. Devil May Cry

Specifically the first game, Devil May Cry will always have a special place in my heart. I played the game a lot when I was in grade school and kept replaying it well into my high school years. All the way up until my PS2 broke. :’)

Now, I do know that this game was created by Capcom and that it was supposed to be related to the Resident Evil franchise, but director Hideki Kamiya openly stated that the game is an anime-style hack and slash action-adventure game, and even gave the anime T.V. show, Devil May Cry: The Animated Series by Shin Itagaki, his professional seal of approval.

That said, Devil May Cry is addictive with its brutal but charming character Dante, and its dark and twisted plot/gameplay. If you’re into cool characters, blood and guts, and kick-ass combat, this is the game for you!

3. Catherine

Another nostalgic game for me, Catherine was something I played constantly when I was in high school. The animation is enticing, the story is a giant mind f*ck, and the English voice acting is stupendous. Like many story-related anime games, it has multiple endings, as well as a karma metre that wraps into your choices. The story revolves around a man named Vincent Brooks, who is beset by supernatural nightmares while torn between his feelings for longtime girlfriend Katherine and the similarly-named beauty Catherine.

While the game is mostly a platformer, the challenges are unreal, especially in Babel (an extra area not related to the story) and the arcade game, Rapunzel. If you want your brain to turn to mush, I’d suggest setting this baby to the hardest difficulty. Naturally there’s a trophy for beating everything with a gold time, so if you get that you’ll be able to gloat to all your friends about how smart you are. XD

Jokes aside, though, there are other aspects to the game that keep you going. You won’t get bored of the platforming because between each level is the story, given to us in two distinct anime styles, and a trip to the bar, where you can get drunk and interact with other characters. Depending on the dialogue you choose, you could be responsible for their dreams coming true ... or their untimely death. A remake of the game will be coming out for PS4 next year and I can’t wait to play it!

4. No More Heroes

No More Heroes is another action-adventure hack and slash video game that follows a man named Travis Touchdown ... who is a hardcore otaku. Literally all he cares about is killing and anime, which makes for a hilarious story. Travis is also a top-class assassin in a world where assassins constantly compete. Think John Wick: The Anime. This game is full of comedy and combat, as well as cool characters, crude challenges, and a cuddly kitty cat. I played this game religiously when I was in high school, and enjoyed it even up to it’s weird mind f*ck of an ending. The only downside being that it’s only available on Wii, which made for an interesting and unique experience, but a sad realisation that it will never be available for any other platform.

5. Trauma Center: Second Opinion

Just like No More Heroes, Trauma Center: Second Opinion is only available on Wii; but that in no way affected my love for it. Second Opinion is the second game in a long line of Trauma Centers, but for some reason it’s the only one I enjoy. Perhaps it’s because playing it on the Wii gave it a sense of realism. The game is a surgery simulator, and like an actual surgeon, you have to concentrate and keep your hands steady to succeed. If you move too quickly or throw yourself off balance, the patient will die. The art and music are also incredible and, believe it or not, there’s actually a pretty interesting story that goes along with each chapter. As you work your way to more advanced operations, you really take a liking to the characters and feel a strong sense of duty to your patients. To anyone who owns a Wii, this is definitely a game I’d recommend.

6. Chibi-Robo!

Chibi-Robo! This game takes me back! I spent hours upon hours playing this game, and I still would today if my copy hadn’t been stolen. This little treat is only available on the Wii and GameCube, and was created by Nintendo. It’s one of the most adorable platform-adventure games I’ve ever played to date. The Wiki explains the plot perfectly, so I’ll just post it here:

“Chibi-Robo! takes place in a 1960s-style American home and revolves around a tiny, highly advanced robot of the same name. He is given as a birthday gift to a socially withdrawn eight-year-old named Jenny Sanderson by her father. This is much to the dismay of Jenny's mother, a homemaker who is constantly stressed over how much money her husband spends on toys despite his unemployment.”

For a game that seems so basic, there are a plethora of areas to explore and they are huge. Ironically so, I’m sure, but it makes for some amazing gameplay nonetheless. As you wander, you help other creatures around the house, including the family, solve their problems and complete challenging and often comedic tasks; such as flipping burgers, cleaning up puddles, and-- you know-- helping the egg general save his fellow egg soldiers from the household dog. Yeah, stuff like that. XD

Honestly, it’s super fun and I recommend it to anyone, no matter what their age. It’s clearly geared towards children, but I can’t think of a single reason why an adult wouldn’t enjoy it just as much. It’s relaxing, freeing, and puts a genuine smile on your face. :)

7. Pokemon X and Y

Okay, I know I probably shouldn’t add Pokemon to this list, but I can’t help it! I’ve always loved the Pokemon games, but they just get better and better every time! Pokemon X and Y quickly became favourites of mine, and they consumed my life for a good two months as I captured every single Pokemon, bred the perfect IVs, and worked my ass off to get every shiny I desired. On top of that, I loved the story and, for once, how my character design turned out. What’s more, I fell absolutely in love with the Looker side quest, which is possibly the best and most emotional side quest I’ve ever played in a Pokemon game. X and Y will always be special to me, because in was with these two games that I caught ‘em all!

8. Pokemon Sun and Moon

Visually, Pokemon Sun and Moon are the best of the Pokemon games, in my opinion. They were also the first to really shake things up and give fans new and improved methods of breeding, capture, travel, communication, and more. We were also introduced to a new type of pokemon called “ultra beasts”, along with a fun and alluring story with several new characters and legendaries. Throughout the game, I found myself laughing hard at some of the experiences, and I spent countless hours capturing, trading, breeding, spoiling, and loving all of the new pokemon the games had to offer. I even transferred my pokemon from X and Y over so I could give them the same love and affection. ^_^

I have to thank @cassafra5 and @george-nordington, because they’re the ones who bought me this masterpiece! Thanks, guys! <3

9. .hack//OUTBREAK

This is a game that will always be near and dear to my heart. Back before guides were widely available, I was playing a game called .Hack//OUTBREAK. It came out in 2002, when I was only 12 years old. Back then, my dad was still alive. He never really understood my taste in anime, but he wanted to try and relate, so he bought this game for me on a whim. Little did he know I knew absolutely nothing about the .Hack series, and little did either of us know that OUTBREAK was actually the third part to two other .Hack games. Still, I didn’t want to hurt his feelings, so I played the game-- and I fell in love.

Visually, OUTBREAK was one of the best games I owned on PS2, and although parts of the story were difficult to follow, I was hooked. I dedicated entire days to this game, and because there weren’t any guides, I had to write down every code and location so I wouldn’t get lost/forget them. Today, I still have pages folded safely in the case. The amount of exploration and character interaction opened me up to a whole new genre of video games. In fact, it basically introduced me to anime-style games. I could actually buy gifts for my friends and build relationships. That seems common now, but back then it wasn’t for a typical PS2 game.

Unfortunately, tragedy struck when the save cartridge was accidentally kicked by my brother and all of my data was lost. I wasn’t too concerned, since I figured I could just replay the game and get everything back ... but the disk was also severely, irreparably scratched. It no longer plays. As such, it is now merely a keepsake from my father. I miss you, dad.

But 16 years later and my sister and I are still quoting this game! XD @alannahkiwi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I-7hwgwqa4

10. Persona 5

I only recently started playing Persona 5, but it’s quickly made its way to my top ten. I can’t say too much about it just yet, aside from the fact that the animation is crisp, the story is gripping, and I’m ready to sink hours of my life into platinuming this gorgeous feet of human achievement! So much heart and sole was poured into this game and it shows with every in-game step I take. This is the only game on this list that I haven’t yet finished, but I have a sense that I don’t really need to. Thus far, every mission has been a gem and I don’t want the party to end!

Here is the (late) oc presentation time ! And this week I present you Kyouji Kamino !!

Before reading it, I want to add that Gunni gave me two new ocs (and adorable ones) so they are put in the classes now =) Here is the uploaded document that recap classes / characters :

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1acW4wZqcFobpi7CzRArJazrgfi4K1BSeiBeAp8wKAAg/edit?usp=sharing

Again if you want to send me your OC just ask. I only have two places left for 1A and 1B but I can put your OC in the class 3A so they can be the mentors ^^

Kyouji Kamino

Writer comment about his development : One of the very first that i created and barely changed since then. He is one of the few with a very sad backstory -well some has xD)

His character in five words : influenceable, emo, honest, sociable, playful.

His quirk : Kyouji awakened his quirk at the age of 4 during an accident. His parents were beginning to think he was quirkless but the boy didn’t have the time to worry about it. Kyouji’s quirk is called spectral projection, because you don’t know if it’s an astral projection or something more complicated. The fact is that his consciousness has an image he can manipulate at will and can travel through matter. Solidifying this astral body to touch anything with it requires him an enormous amount of energy so he tends to avoid that at all cost, (except for his wearing his hat) keeping physical interactions to the bare minimum. It took him years of training to be able to be seen by others and even more to be heard, while being on astral projection.

His power has a lot of downside, for example he doesn’t know how to stop the spectral projection (or is afraid to) so he never actually sleep or eat. He can get very tired but it’s a mental exhaustion when he has trouble to focus, move, speak or understand simple things. He does meditation to get better.

Sometimes his spectral projection “buzz” as he said, like old tv which couldn’t receive a signal. This is really bothersome.

Despites those, he is probably one of the most skilled of both classes when it comes to mastering his power.

Likes : cartoons, radio and music.

Dislikes : Being alone or ignored, when other people are sleeping.

His family : Kyouji lost his parents when he was 4. They were rather ordinary, both officials that met while being at work, fell in love, married and decided to have a kids. They were planning to have a second child when they died. Kyouji remembers his mother’s hair, not their color but a bit of her scent. He also remembers being carried on his dad’s back and how he used to roll his shoulders as he walked. It saddens him to know so little about them and it scares him a lot : you can disappear from the world and no one, absolutely no one remembers you, not even your own child.

Kyouji had a grandfather too, but the man died from old age. Since then Kyouji is considered as a pupil of the state, like 6 other children in the same case as him, and took the name of Kamino. A name he absolutely despises.

Secret past : Kyouji is one of “the orphans of Kamino” a bunch of kids who lost their parents during the Kamino accident. He was buried under the rubbles of his parent’s flat and was the only one that was still alive when they extracted them. He was sent to the hospital immediately, but got into a comatose and till today he still is. He didn’t wake up. Well, not physically at least. But for him it’s quite the contrary, he felt like he never fell asleep at all! He remembers being buried and screaming for help, he remembers getting out and crying to talk to policemen and doctor where he was, but that no one could see or hear him. Only animals -especially dogs- reacted to his presence which helped him keep any sanity and not think he as just plainly dead. Even today Kyouji tries really hard not to think about this period, since it was awful. He was small, and alone, and no one could hear him, even less comfort him. He didn’t get what was happening to him and how to end it.

It took him months before understanding that he could interact a bit with the world around him, if he focused. He found out by accident, as he watched his grandfather talking to his “body” and crying. He wiped out his tears.

Happiest memory : The day he managed to be visible by other human, and especially his grandfather. The old man was so happy he gave Kyouji a hat, that the boy still wears everyday even if it asks him a lot of effort for that. It helped him train to be not only visible, heardable but also has physical grasp on things when he focus.

Saddest memory : Well all the memories related to the accident and the months he spent thinking he was some kind of ghost. He is absolutely terrified about the idea of dying or worst reverse to this state. The reason he wants to be a hero is not out of kindness, or for revenge against All might (though he does not like the hero), it’s because he wants to be famous, to access immortality thanks to fame. Knowing that if he manages to be a hero, no one will ever forget him make the possibility of dying more bearable.

Best friends : Kino Mirai is his very best friend, for strange reasons. At first Kino scared Kyouji because, well he basically said that he couldn’t see Kyouji’s future, hence that Kyouji might have none. But the more he spent time with the boy the more they became close. They don’t share a lot of interests yet they always find something to say. Plus the very protective behaviour Kino shows toward Kyouji moves him a lot.

Strangely, Lazare is also a good friend of Kyouji, again a strange friendship no one seen coming. Lazare tends to be hurt -almost dying- often, then regenerates fastly thanks to his quirk. This ability fascinated Kyouji yet made him a bit jealous (he kind of wised he, or his parents, had the same). But getting to know Lazare made him see that every ability has downsides and that you can’t be summed up by your power alone. This idea allowed them to become really good friends.

Kussan, Kubo and Ume are his other friends, since they all loved a grampa or a grandma in their lives and they can share a lot about those moments with them they hold dear.

Other than them, he spends most of his time with Takashi and Kahei, watching them play video games, Tsubaki when he plays music or, Satoru.

Max is also a good friend he spends time with, especially when he is with Sei, Lazare and Hide. They always do ghost prank, or horror movie pranks together. Once they managed to make Mahô faints and that’s really something to be proud of !

Get along well with : Kyouji likes loud, energetic and lively people the most, so he usually tends to go see them first when he needs something, as he knows that it will be done with them. So he likes Mahô, Yuu, Riku, Riichi, Koyuki, Chiori,, Yosuke, Yume, Reika.

Doesn’t get along with : Kyouji is not hard to be friend with, but there are three persons has has trouble to get along with for personal reasons. First is Ryota, because the boy is calm, quiet and prefer to be a witness of the agitation rather than part of it It’s almost the same reason why he has trouble to stand Yule, the girl tries very hard to be part of the action, he sees that, but she is tends to step back and hides everytime it asks her too much effort and that annoys him a lot. Kyouji has enough of being a witness of action and so people who doesn’t react get on his nerves easy. For a very petty and silly reason )he is aware- Kyouji doesn’t like Goro ; the boy has a big and loving family and Kyouji is very jealous of that.

Crush on : Kyouji might be really mature for his age (the good side of not being able to sleep) but love stories? Romance? He’s stuck at a 4 years old reaction to this. Basically he just say “yerk” and runs away every time he sees people kiss. This is not his priority at all.

Conclusion about his relationship in class : Kyouji is very mature in a lot of ways, but sometimes you can still see the childish side that he never could get rid off. He likes everyone at first, and tends to get influenced by those he likes (changing opinions and taste, not by hypocrisy but because he didn’t had one in the first place so aligning with other’s doesn’t bother him). Thanks to that he manages to be friends with almost everyone. But when he doesn’t like someone he just can’t hide his unfriendly opinion. He has no filter over this.

-Evaluation of his teacher Aizawa Shouta-

Potential as a hero : Kyouji is a bit of a tricky question, sure his power offers a lot of potential for lot of jobs, but offensively speaking? It takes a toll on his body -the real one- that i do not approve. I would rather him focusing on healing and waking up from his coma first, before trying to be a hero.

Weak points : The downside of the spectral projection are not healthy. He lacks offensive power most of the time that he manages to cover with his skills but that won’t always be enough.

Strong points : He is very powerful and skilled when it comes to use his power, and he always does his part of work, at the most of his capacity. He is a reliable ally.

Commentary : I was against his admission into UA from the begining, i only accepted him in my class so he wouldn’t be in All might’s (it would have make a bad atmosphere in the class). But he proved me his dedication and motivation. I have yet to find a reason to expulse him. It’s like having a second Midoriya, another kid who doesn’t seem to get that he will live up to 50 years with this body so he has to take care of it, and i’m not enjoying that.
