In and of itself, Nowhere is the prophecy that Ivan has written for himself, one of self destruction. Fitting for one of the most tragic characters in this show, the one whose love was requited but who never let it be anything due to his own stubbornness and blindness. Not only that but the way that he thinks of himself, as a monster who only serves to hurt those who he loves, is something that proves not to be true, necessarily, but it proves to be true through Ivan's twisted worldview as he hurt Sua by making fun of her sacrifice and he hurt Till by kissing him at the worst possible time. This song, Ivan's first solo since Black Sorrow, echoes that in being another self-fulfilling prophecy of Ivan's, another lie that he told himself so many times that he made it come true.

The repetition of musical elements such as the lifting scale of chimes, the swing of the instrumentals, the snare and percussion being pretty much the same every time only adding to the sensation of mounting foreboding up and up, a rising action that continues to rise but never truly reaches a climax, no culmination, no conclusion until death. My friend Zen (@verdantlights) called it eerie, and I agree. The way that the song all comes together, it feels like a tragedy unfolding in front of you, over and over, one that you know will happen and yet you can do nothing to prevent. It's almost like the "tainted history" that Ivan talks of, the repetition of events again and again over time, the way that history seems to be cyclical and we, as humans, never seem to truly learn.

In certain ways, the song is about the way that the perceived reality of the world and the world's actual reality are very, very different things. Considering the line about "a stiff dream dyed in rose-colored hues" that slowly changed to a dream dyed purple, to a dream dyed black, it is the way that when we are children we are able to hope for a better future than the one we think will actually come and how as we age, we are traumatized by the world to the point where we can no longer hope for anything better. Becoming someone who dismisses hope because you've tried hoping before and you only ended up with a kick in the gut and a punch in the face, well, that's a trauma response. We are all slowly traumatized over time into believing that the world can't get better, our rose-colored dreams becoming purple until they finally fade to black, blotted out by the corruption of memory, those times when we dared to dream and we were shot down from out of the sky, our wax wings not even given the chance to melt. We are beaten down by life, over and over again, until we are simply forced to go through the routine that society demands of us and say that we are content (wake up, wake up to the usual routine & wake up, wake up to this beautiful life, is it for real?).

The worst part is that Ivan knows better (a dustlike existence can't open its eyes to look. I close my eyes). The whole reason why Ivan admires Till so much in the first place is his willingness to fight, his hope for a future without slavery for humans, his unadulterated and true love. Ivan knows what hope feels like and he knows that he just can muster it anymore, too exhausted to be anything other than apathetic (the wounds that kept reopening just became numb), but he can still love Till's vivacity and drive for change. Ivan views himself as something dirty, something broken that only serves to break others. He thinks that he's a monster who can only do the people he loves harm, and to a degree, that's true, his belief a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Ultimately though, Ivan is an immensely unreliable narrator, someone so biased against himself and towards literally anyone else but someone who is so stubborn that he is unwilling to believe anyone else's opinions on him because they have never met his "true self" only the mask that he wears that he ends up digging a deeper and deeper hole. He thinks of his story as one that's already written, the repetition of the line "this always happens to me" echoing that, especially with the way that eventually that song ends with it repeated again, "yeah, it's always like that, this always happens to me." Ivan isn't trying to fight it because his dream has long since been stained black, despite the fact that he knows that he could break out of this cycle of despair. He knows this prophecy that he is submitting to is one that he wrote himself and yet, where he stands right now? He has no will to change it.

note: My friend Ish (@chevalperd) screenshotted @/ivantill7089 (on twitter)'s english translation of this song for me, which is what I am referencing for the lyrics! I love you Ish thank you again so much :3

Hey there

Could I please get some Platonic Yandere G1 Soundwave with a teen reader?

Thanks

Since you didn't specify what the reader's gender is, or you just don't care -- by default -- the gender is a girl. Sorry for my male audience.

Clinging to Sanity, or Embrace the Fantasy

It was nighttime. A full moon lighting up the sky, accompanied by the blissing, shining stars. Pushing up the window in your bedroom, allowing the sounds of muffled arguing to echo outside. You dropped a bag, pieces of metal clanging from within upon compact. You climbed out, your hands gripping the edge of the window before letting go; it was only a small drop.

Grabbing the bag's handles and pulling it on your shoulder as you ran. This was almost becoming a weekly thing now. Your parents would argue for god knows how long ever since you were just a little girl. And when they're not, and you're alone with one of them, they'd talk and rant to you about how much they hate the other, like you're the psychiatrist and not their child.

You would secretly leave and head to your own place of Zen, your place of work that's open 24/7, where you would repair things that people would leave you. It can be a boom box, a radio, a record player, the popular cellular phone, even a cassette player. The company you work for is a big business that they give their employees their own offices/work rooms that are reinforced with sound-proof walls, for both privacy and not to disturb their fellow workers.

Walking down the sidewalk with only the streetlamps guiding your path; the cool, crisp air breezing past you in such a calming way, slowly pushing the fresh memory of the angry, loud shouts from your parents from your mind. You wished your older sister was there, but she's off living her freedom away from that damned house. They haven't even called after they left, not even to you. You saw the neon-glowing sign of the workplace up ahead.

Pushing the door open, a familiar ring-ding echoing loudly to get whoever was working at the receptionist desk's attention. The warm air-conditioning hitting my skin, making me shiver from the stark contrast of the outside. Behind the counter was Vannessa, dyed rainbow tips in her hair, heavy mascara and eyeliner on her face, accompanied by two small, light blue bows, with white bunny heads with "X"'s over the eyes, on both sides of her head (Inspired by teenager! Vanessa made by @chloesimaginationthings, lovely job btw). She's fun to hang out with if she isn't in a bad mood.

She glanced up, greeted me with a small wave, a corner of her lips perking up before it returned to its bored, neutral expression, putting her attention back on her phone. I walked past her and down the corridor where the walls are lined with doors to different offices, a couple bathrooms, and a janitor's closet. Once you approached your door, the backdoor was slammed open and entered Jerry with a box of wares. "FOUNDER'S FRIDAY!!" He happily shouted.

"Hell, yeah!" You exclaimed, this day couldn't possibly be any better. You loved Founder's Friday's and so does about every other employee in this building. It's been around ever since Jerry joined, which was a long time before you were hired. It would be a chance of luck if a day like this happens; Jerry would find random, abandoned wares and junk, and once he gets what is considered enough, he brings it here for the other employees to scavenge in, what they do with it is up to them. The choices are to take it apart and use it for spare parts or keep it to repair it and use for your own personal use.

"Hey, Y/n, can you help me with the doors?" He asked. You're always the one he asks because your door is always the closest to the backdoor. You nodded, closing the backdoor as he walked off to the lounge. You walked past his slow-moving figure and opened the door for him. He walked into the lounge and set it on the table, metal clanging from within. "Thanks. Let me guess, bad day at home?" He asked, wiping imaginary sweat from his forehead. "Yeah..." You grumbled, already digging into the box. You were good on supplies and parts, so you're looking for something to keep, but so far, nothing has caught your attention.

Then you found something peculiar. It was a tape player, one that seems to play music by looking at the cassette tape in its little window. Its main color was a dark blue, the second main color was white, and highlighted with a purple emblem, one that seems familiar, but you can't put your finger on it. There seemed to be a sticker on the window, a big yellow star.

You walked out of the lounge with the tape player as other employees were approaching, crowding around the table upon entering. You opened the door to your office and sat down at your desk. You opened the cassette and observed the tapes inside. You picked up one and played it, the familiar song plays: We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister. You set it to the side, next to a little robot that is immobile, and got to work on a ware from a client, slightly bobbing your head to the music.

(Time-skip)

It's been about a month since that day. The arguing has gotten worse that you started sneaking out daily, hanging out in your office with your cassette player waiting. It has become your comfort object. The little robot that was mentioned before, you made it to make yourself think you're talking to someone about your problems at home, about how much you missed your sister and you'd wish she'd be here or at least call, about how much you hate your parents arguing, and with them telling you stuff about the other, it started making you hate your parents.

But your parents started getting couple's therapy, and you brought your cassette with you, to listen to as you do your schoolwork. The arguing has almost disappeared. Almost.

As they were arguing, covering your ears with your pillow wrapped around the back of your head, trying to muffle the sounds. You couldn't take it anymore! In a frenzy, you quickly grabbed your bag, forgetting about your cassette. It wasn't until you reached your work, entered your office that you'd forgotten it. It's fine, you told yourself. "I can get it after work..." You muttered, getting to work on a project to take your mind off of the events.

Once you arrived home, you saw a note that they left to their jobs. Crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash, passing by an old family photo, back then when everyone was happy - you think. Your mother had one kid -- a daughter -- before she married your present father. Her name is Carly, and she's currently attending MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), took after the appearance of her bio-dad, blond hair and pretty blue eyes. And then there was you in the photo, in a swaddle and only had been born a month ago before that very picture was taken. Looking at photos of the past like this really makes you wish things could go back.

You grabbed some pj's from your room and then entered your bathroom and opened the medicine cabinet and took some melatonin. You changed your clothes, tossing the dirty ones in the hamper. You closed the bathroom door behind you, approaching your bed, got under the covers. With eyelids feeling heavy, you closed them, not even catching the sound of something transforming as you drowsed off to sleep.

It was supposed to be a mission to get information through someone who was a family or friend of those human Autobots. But it all changed when he had been forced to stay hidden while in your quote-on-quote possession like an everyday object.

You would always talk to that small but adorable looking pile of junk like it were a living being that's lending an ear, while he was right there. Listening. The one thing he wasn't expecting was heart-wrenching info about your personal life at home. How much you'd wish for your dear sister to be around again. How much for peace in the family.

But he can see it as clear as day and knows you do too, but you keep putting yourself in denial, gripping onto that dwindling hope that everything would change for the better. But they will. At least, in the way he's thinking.

When you accidentally left him at the house, it only took a few more minutes before their arguing drifted on about you, negatively. It filled him with fury. Organics or any other living beings such as them don't deserve someone like you. Every time you'd unknowingly talk to him, he can tell that you have a kind spirit, a childish soul that's slowly dying the more you're around their presences. Those kinds of people that are like you no longer exist in the war that going on; So rare that you'd have a better luck at finding little bits of Dark Energon in the darkest corners in the galaxy. They were either killed or they changed, becoming a cold, serious husk of the bot they once were.

So, he made up his mind. He'd take you back to the Decepticon base, put your consciousness in another body -- a Cybertronian body -- and change your memories; you don't need them if they'd bring you such misery. You're better off being with people who would care about you. His minicons kids have already liked you, they find you interesting. They already know about his plan with you and they'd be happy to be the siblings you deserve, unlike that Carly girl.

Once you were dead asleep, Soundwave transformed into robot-mode, carefully picking up your body and left the house. Then he traveled to Cybertron via spacebridge, and had Shockwave start building you a body as you were put in a stasis pod. Once it was done, you were taken out of the pod, but was still asleep, and were put through the transfer and memory change.

Through The Woods

Word counter: 1.1k

Pairing: Depraved! Michael Myers x fem! reader x Jason Voorhees x Ghostface

Summary: Your boyfriend dumps you after four years, leaving you in the woods. Scared you hide from the creatures of the night, as you walked and walked, three masked men follow you.

Tw: Abuse at the start

Warning: 18+ only || Smut || mmm4f || Cheating || Arguments || P in V || Dirty talk || degradation || mdni || Dub-con || depravity || throatfucking || cream pie || breeding kink || daddy!kink || handjob || BJ ||

"Get the fuck out my car bitch, you ain't worth my time anymore".. tears started to roll down your face. The man that you were sitting next to in the car, wasn't the guy you met four years ago, he's changed and you didnt like it. You missed the sweet man you got used to, the guy that would make you breakfast in the morning and looked after you when you were ill, you don't know what he had done with that guy. "You were the one cheating on me with those hoes, I've been nothing but nice to you and you treat me like this" anger rising in your chest "Boo-hoo, get the fuck out! We are done" screaming at him, you run out the door and into the woods.

Scared and frightened you think ways of surviving through the night, all sorts of creatures lurk through the darkness waiting for their next meal. "I can't fucking believe him, wasted four years of my life with him and he cheats on me, my mother was right about him but me being a dumb bitch believing in love, fairy tale fucking over". As you head through the tree's, listening to owls hooting and crickets, a calm wave washed over you, nature was always your favourite place to be when you were having a bad day.

Music also brought you escapism, one of your many favourite things to do. Slipping headphones in, you put on zen music. Smiles on your face, tears long gone. As much as you loved that man, you didn't have to deal with him again, going to feel sorry for the next girl he dates, the way he treated you, bound to happen again to someone else. The sky was pitch black, the time was 22:30. Stars shining brightly, moon as big as a rocket shining back. Passing tree's, phone in hand, torch looking for a safe place for the night, away from creatures that could eat you alive.

As you were finding your way to a safe place, three large men were hiding behind a tree, few yards away from where you were standing. Looking at you with their lustful eyes, mouths watering, ghostface looks at Michael and whispers "Can we please take her now, please I need to be inside her so bad, my balls are so fucking tight" Michael growled and rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Come on Mike, you know what happens when he doesn't get what he wants" Jason said. A sigh left his lips, looking at ghostface he nods in annoyance and ghost face, quietly heads in your direction.

Still heading north, you lost all patience trying to find a place to stay for the night. As you were about to turn back, someone came up behind you and pushed you to the floor, their strength pinning your arms above your head, his leg keeping yours open "get off of me creep" a man laughs above you. White mask, boiler suit "Oh honey, we're just getting started" unzipping his boiler suit Michael grabs you by the hair, pulling you up on your knees "Now take all of daddy's cock down your throat, while my friend here ruts himself against you". "Open your mouth baby, that's it"

As Michael slams himself into your throat, ghostface is behind you with his gloved fingers inside your dripping cunt "oh look, someone's being a little slut! you like that huh, being throat fucked by my friend here". As ghostface was finger fucking you from behind, Jason had slipped his hand down his pants, whimpering like the cute submissive boy he is "Aw look Jason, you want some of this?" Jason nodded his head and got on his knees "Good Boy, now you know what to do" as ghostface got up and walked over to your side "stroke my cock slut, while he fucks your throat" as your hand went to his cock Michael grabbed your wrist "I wanted to play with her, this little plaything is mine Michael" growls left his lips. Letting go, you looked at Michael's eyes, they were so pretty "I think she likes you Michael" heat rises up your neck, making you clench around Jason's fingers.

"Fuck, I'm so close princess!" Michael had let his cock fall from your lips. Ghost face had grabbed your face and rammed his cock into your throat "oh fuck, take it all, or I'll have to spit it back into your mouth, if I see a single drop from those pretty lips of yours" a moan left your throat and legs started to shake "faster Jason, she's close" doing what he was told, your eyes rolled back and mouth agape giving Michael the opportunity to lift up his mask and kiss you passionately, spitting the warm seed back into your throat.

After coming undone, Michael kneeled behind you, hands on hips and mouth near ear "now I ain't going slow, princess" a whimper left your lips. Jason felt invisible "Jason, fuck her mouth will you, Michael is going to make this bitch scream and we can't let people nose around here" unzipping his trousers making pants fall along with them, Jason slowly enters his cock in your mouth. Michael slammed himself inside you, making your eyes roll back "Fuck princess, you're so tight, can't wait til I breed you, shoot my babies inside you" clenching around him, Michael pulls your hair "Such a dirty slut for us, you have no idea what I'm going to do to you" a moan escaped your lips, making jason buck his hips, whining.

Jason couldn't take it a second more, he needed to be inside of you but he knew better than to make Michael angry as he was the boss, leaded the pack. "Atta girl, can you do it one more time, I know you're exhausted but I don't care! You're going to be used by all three of us, by the end of tonight and I'm going to take you back home and use you again and again, until I know you've been bred". You're so close and Michael could feel it "come on slut, you can do it, come all over daddy's cock" as his hand came down hard on your ass, your pussy clenched tightly around him and came hard on his cock, making Jason tip his head back, releasing in your throat.

As Michael slid out your wetness, juices and come was running down your thighs. Panting with exhaustion, sleep washed over you. A slap across the face woke you up "we aren't done yet princess, I'm not the only one who needed this pussy" Ghostface positions himself behind you, grabbing onto heavily bruised hips "you look so pretty with those bruises tattooed on your hips" a tired whimper left your aching throat. You couldn't do anything, your body was achy and tired. Closing your eyes, listening to the raspiness of his voice, ghost face slammed into your pussy, pounding it from behind.

Witnessing Greatness

Thinking about the most recent episode of Doctor Who, I find myself reminded of Roger Corman, who died last month. Corman was a producer and director of b-movies and television. He was also beloved by industry titans due to his work ethic and ingenuity as a filmmaker. What made Corman so unique is how he dealt with limitations. If an aspect of one of his films was lacking, he made up for it in other departments. If the effects were bad, the script had to be great. If the acting was hammy, he’d make sure the music gave it strength. Instead of spreading everything thin, he knew that giving a little bit more attention to individual elements would make for an overall better experience. If you’re not firing on all cylinders, make sure the ones that do are firing brightly.

“Rogue,” is an episode with many bright shining points, lighting up the sky of Regency Era Britain. But lost within that light are a few flickering bulbs that could stand to be turned a bit tighter. However, it’s not as though we’re poking around in the dark. Without a doubt, the brightest star in the Whoniverse at the moment is Ncuti Gatwa. In a stand-out performance from a series of stand-out performances, Gatwa has really outdone himself this week and I can’t wait to talk about it. The folks at Bad Wolf Studios have refused to spread things thin, but no story is perfect. For as much as I enjoyed this week’s episode, I didn’t have to reach far to find problems. But when I’m smiling this much, it’s harder to care.

It’s funny how a week ago I said I didn’t like fan theories and then promptly made one. Just as promptly, I am now abandoning that theory. After the trailer for next week’s episode, I no longer think Susan Twist is the Rani. I officially don’t know what I think. I kind of love that. I have seen the rumours of Susan Twist being Sutekh. Maybe the Doctor is in the Land of Fiction. The name S Triad is an anagram of the word TARDIS. Perhaps she’s the original owner of the TARDIS coming to retrieve it. The point is, she could be anyone, and I am not all that worried about it. Why that feels important is that I was often full of dread waiting for Chibnall’s next big reveal. I didn’t look forward to the ways in which he might next waste a concept by not properly exploring it. So being in a place where I am game for whatever feels zen.

Having two new writers this week was a major draw for me. I’ve seen what both Davies and Moffat can do, the good and the bad. This is the first time all season where I felt like we were truly wandering into the unknown. I did watch Loki season one, so I was familiar with Kate Herron’s work, but not as a writer. I was even less familiar with Briony Redman. But like I said, I’m game for whatever. The pair bring a metatextual reading to the Regency Era drama that fits Doctor Who’s brand of camp. I was reminded of Kate Beaton’s satirical comics from her “Hark! A Vagrant” series. “Rogue,” acts as a sort of love-letter to Jane Austen, so it’s only appropriate that they treat it with a playful touch. The Doctor and Ruby aren’t just visiting Bath in 1813, they’re cosplaying Bridgerton. But they’re not the only anachronistic party goers. This bash is about to go to the birds.

Leading up to this episode, an article in Doctor Who Magazine had given us random lines of dialogue from each story, including this one. However, the line “Psychic earrings. Choreography beamed into your motor system. Tap twice to choose your moves. It's like instant Strictly!” left me a bit nervous. We were fresh off of “The Devil’s Chord,” and part of me was wondering if they weren’t suddenly turning Doctor Who into a variety show. I’m joking a little, but I was rather relieved when the line turned out to be about dancing at the Duchess’ ball. The Doctor and Ruby are dressed to the nines in their period appropriate clothing. I love the idea of the Doctor wearing more from his wardrobe as it’s always been fun in the past. Tom Baker’s tartan tam o’ shanter in “Terror of the Zygons,” is one of his most iconic costumes. Ncuti said in an interview that he wanted his costume to make him look like he owned land. It’s a brilliant image to depict when you consider the Regency Era was merely four years away from the abolition of slavery in Britain.

The Regency Era also brought with it a change in men’s attire. Dandies like Beau Brummell popularised a look of comfort and wealth while simultaneously streamlining much of the frills from 18th century fashion. It’s funny to look at the ruffles of a dandy’s attire and consider it anything other than flamboyant, but it was a considerable shift toward more conservative styles. While women’s fashion continued to evolve, men’s fashion stagnated a bit. A standard had been established and you can still see its influence today with the basic suit and tie combo. No wonder the Doctors often dress like variations on Edwardian fashion.

The opulence of the period led to a lot of scandalising and gossip, which has given us centuries of great drama. While I’ve never read “Emma,” I have seen “Clueless.” I’ve never watched Bridgerton, but I can still get into the costuming and pomp. Basically you don’t need to be a fan of the genre to know the tropes. It was a nice change of pace that it was Ruby’s love for a tv show that puts things into motion. The Doctor and Ruby are tourists as much as the Chuldur, but with far less deadly consequences. Both groups are there to experience the emotional highs of the time, but the Chuldur don’t care who they hurt in order to do it. This of course is why Rogue, a bounty hunter, has also crashed the party.

You’ll be pleased to know I actually remembered to watch “Doctor Who Unleashed,” this week. Partly because I had some questions, but mostly because I wanted to hear them talk about the costumes and make-up effects. Davies mentioned that the season hadn’t yet had its baddie in a mask trying to take over the world, which I love that he considers. If you read my review of “The Witchfinders,” you may recall how much I appreciated the Morax being scenery chewing people in latex makeup. There’s something essentially Doctor Who about bug eyed monsters (sorry Sydney) and there’s something very RTD when those monsters have animal heads. Davies is now confirmed as a furry, I’m calling it.

The Chuldur share their appearance with birds, something we don’t often see in Doctor Who. I’m trying to recall bird villains from the show and I am coming up a bit short. There were the Shansheeth in the Sarah Jane Adventures, those bird people on Varos, that heavenly chicken from “The Time Monster,” and the Black Guardian’s hat. Considering all of the reptiles we get, I’m surprised we’ve gotten so few birds. If you also watched the Unleashed episode, you may have noticed that they digitally changed the bird version of Emily’s beak from black to orange. It’s the Vinvocci’s green faces from “The End of Time,” all over again! What’s funny is that this change in Emily’s beak gives her something of a penguin appearance. It’s not exactly the shapeshifting penguin I was hoping for, but I digress.

Speaking of shapeshifting, I rather enjoyed the Chuldur’s unique method of doing so. If you recall, when the Duchess spots her servant out in the garden, the bird form of the servant is played by the same actor as the servant. It’s not until she takes the form of the Duchess that her bird form also takes on the resemblance of Indira Varma. You don’t usually see that and I admire them for making two versions of the same makeup, if nothing else. Doctor Who has had its share of shapeshifters, so it’s nice to see them changing up the formula a bit. Unfortunately for the Duchess, this isn’t a Zygon type of body snatching where you have to keep the person you’re copying alive.

Ruby’s psychic earrings are doing a treat until they begin picking up interference from Rogue’s tech. A lot of people have mentioned that this episode seems to borrow a lot from “An Empty Child,” and so it’s only appropriate that the Doctor does a scan for alien tech. The source of the interference directs the Doctor toward the balcony where Rogue stands brooding. Meanwhile, the Chuldur version of Lord Barton has taken a liking to Ruby. The Duchess, still human at this point, attempts to introduce them, but Ruby is not impressed by the pompous dandy, referring to him as Lord Stilton. As Ruby strops away she notices a painting of Susan Twist’s character as an old matron. The Duchess refers to her as “the Duke’s late mother,” whose eyes still follow her around the room in judgement.

The Duchess takes her leave to the garden where she meets her fate with the Chuldur masquerading as her servant. We get a bit more of a look at what exactly the Chuldur do when they take over your body. What’s left of the duchess is little more than a desiccated husk. Meanwhile, in the study, Ruby has stumbled upon a rather intimate moment between Lord Barton and Emily. The bookcase obscuring her from the two frames them like a television screen. Ruby is unable to look away from the real life Bridgerton scene playing out in front of her. The Lord tells Emily that he will not marry her which would leave her ruined, but he is compelled by her nonetheless. However, before they can kiss, Ruby knocks a pile of books onto her head causing a disturbance. I rather loved this moment for Millie Gibson. It’s rare that women get to be portrayed as clumsy and that book definitely bonked her on the head. A great bit of physical comedy.

The Lord storms out of the room leaving Emily and Ruby to talk. Removed from the framing of the bookshelf, Ruby finds her compassion once more and comforts Emily. After all, Lord Barton was being a bit of an ass toward her. Emily is amused by Ruby’s modern sensibilities and lack of finery. You could tell this scene was written by two women as they actually take the time to let them have this moment. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Rogue take a stroll through the garden in order to size one another up. There’s a flirtatious energy between the two but a wary tension underlies the conversation. The Doctor muses about the stars, but on a terrestrial level. It’s not until he finds the Duchess’ shoe and then the rest of her that he gives away that he is not of this world. Rogue sees the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver and begins to suspect the Doctor is a Chuldur in disguise. The two confront one another as the culprit, but Rogue has the bigger gun.

Still comparing sizes, the Doctor and Rogue compare ships like they were Ten and Eleven comparing sonic screwdrivers. Speaking of sonic screwdrivers, it feels appropriate that the Doctor’s sonic would match his outfit. That’s so Fifteen. He’s a fashionable Doctor, so of course he would accessorise. It’s like they made his wardrobe and accessories with cosplay in mind. Rogue’s costume is also noteworthy. People have drawn comparisons between Rogue and Jack Harkness and it’s not difficult to understand. His long coat draws parallels to that of Jacks and he even mentions assembling cabinets in regards to the sonic. But what’s equally interesting is how Rogue’s gun resembles the type of handgun you would see in a Regency Era duel. Its barrel resembles that of a blunderbuss. He’s either deep undercover, or he’s got a thing for cosplay himself.

Rogue doesn’t get a lot of time for character development, but they do give him a few little moments, mostly through environmental storytelling. He has a striking birdlike ship fit for a heroic rogue, but inside it’s dirty and depressing. Possibly most telling on Rogue’s ship are the set of orange dice on his table. Rogue gets his name from Dungeons and Dragons, but beyond being a geek, these dice could tell us more about his personality. We learn that Rogue has lost someone, perhaps these dice belonged to them. Perhaps he is unable to move the dice from that spot because he didn’t leave them there. We also learn later that Rogue isn’t a very strong roleplayer. He’s quieter and more thoughtful in his improvisation. Perhaps his staged tryst was the first time anyone has asked him to roleplay since losing his partner. Either way, Jonathan Groff plays it with a vulnerable subtlety, and I loved it.

Speaking of loved it, we have now reached the portion of this article where I gush over Ncuti Gatwa. Now, I need to preface this by reminding you all that I have always been pro-Ncuti. I adored his portrayal of Eric Effiong in Sex Education. I never doubted for a second that he could pull it off. However, it wasn’t until this episode that his Doctor finally crystalised for me. We’ve seen that his Doctor could be flirtatious and fun, but we hadn’t yet seen the way in which he could use that to do Doctory things. We’ve had hot Doctors, but we’ve never had a Doctor who was so effortlessly hot. He’s hot in the same way the Second Doctor was bumbling, as in it’s almost a distraction from what he’s actually doing. It actually makes him slightly terrifying.

Even as his Doctor is standing in a trap, he’s able to use his charm to buy time. Also, once again the Doctor is stepping onto things that can kill him. An odd recurring theme. He maintains an air of authority even in the face of danger and that is so the Doctor. When the Doctor finds Rogue’s music playlist I think I may have melted. How could anyone incinerate such a beautiful person? How could you not want to dance right along with him? As much as I loved this scene and the meta reference to Astrid Perth, it does also buckle a bit under itself. First of all, wouldn’t the Doctor knowing an Earth song like “Can’t Get You Out of My Head,” make you question whether he was a Chuldur? Sure, they know Bridgerton, but it would be enough to give me pause. Furthermore, I’m not sure how seeing the Doctor’s many faces would cause you to not think he’s a shapeshifter. Kind of odd that one other face means shapeshifter but eighteen other faces don’t. Wait, did I say eighteen?

When I had first watched this episode, I didn’t immediately recognise Richard E Grant as the mysterious extra face in the lineup of past Doctors. We now have three extra faces in the form of Jodie Whittaker, Jo Martin, and David Tennant (again), but this extra Doctor wasn’t registering for me. At first I thought he was the Valeyard, and then I thought he looked a bit like Jim Broadbent, which is ironic considering “The Curse of Fatal Death.” It wasn’t until I got online afterward and saw people saying Richard E Grant that I could see it. I wasn’t even 100% convinced it was him, but I’ve heard they actually took new footage of Grant for that scene, so I guess it’s him. The more interesting question is which him is he? Is this the Shalka Doctor or the Fatal Death Doctor? Maybe he’s both. Maybe he’s neither. This wouldn’t be the first time they’ve given us retroactive Doctors. Moffat gave us the War Doctor to great effect. But despite a strong performance from Jo Martin, Chibnall did a piss poor job of establishing the Fugitive Doctor as a character. I’d love to get excited for this mystery incarnation, but I’m taking a Tim Gunn stance in the meantime- “Make it work.”

With Rogue now on his side, the Doctor takes him to his TARDIS so they can recalibrate his triform transporter to be non-lethal. Recently in an interview, Ncuti Gatwa mentioned he had gotten onto his agent about playing someone like the Doctor or Willy Wonka. It felt a bit like wish fulfilment for his Doctor to sing “Pure Imagination,” to Rogue as they entered the TARDIS. I really loved Jonathan Groff’s slow growing infatuation with the Doctor. I’m a big fan of “Mindhunter,” but it’s a very heavy show, so it was fun to see him in a more playful role. In many ways, Rogue feels like a bit of River Song and a bit of Jack Harkness. He’s something of a reboot and remix at the same time. I don’t doubt we will see him again, which would be a nice chance to give him some much needed character development, but for the time being, we’ve been given enough to work with.

The Doctor and Rogue’s plan is to draw the Chuldur to them by exploiting their love for drama and scandal. What better way to whip people into a frenzy in 1813 Britain than for two men to share a passionate dance together? Besties, I’ll be real, I was grinning from ear to ear. Watching Gatwa and Groff dance was very exciting. I’ve seen people complain that the Doctor and Rogue’s romance felt rushed compared to the “slow burn,” of Yaz and Thirteen. Slow burn is a funny way of saying “non-existent for two seasons.” And I would much rather see two men share a passionate kiss than two women share a passionate ice cream. What’s wild is that I’m not usually the kind of person who likes the Doctor to have romantic relationships. They managed without them for 26 seasons. However, due to Ncuti’s emotional availability, it works for me. I can buy that his time with Donna might have left him more open to romance. Furthermore, this is the antithesis of queerbaiting. Ice cream is not a payoff.

The Doctor ends the dance by staging an argument with Rogue and calling him a cad. But Rogue doesn’t respond in turn with the same volatile energy. There’s a hesitation on his end that feels personal. As I mentioned before, perhaps this is him working up the courage to roleplay again. Perhaps his lost partner was more the avid roleplayer between the two of them. Or perhaps Rogue simply has a softer approach. What I loved is that his marriage proposal felt equally as shocking, but in a more emotional manner. It even feels like it takes the Doctor by surprise. There’s a moment where it actually feels like a real proposal. The Doctor says he can’t and you almost believe he considered it. Or maybe the Doctor can’t even pretend to say yes because of his marriage with River song. If he undoes their wedding maybe it can revert us back to hot air balloon cars, Winston Churchill, and pterodactyls.

Not to be left out, Millie Gibson has gotten a lot of time to shine in this story as well. She does a fair bit of choreography, but there is one bit of her choreography of which I was a bit disappointed. After learning that Ruby is from the future, Emily reveals herself to be a Chuldur, and she wants to cosplay as Ruby next. However, Ruby’s psychic earrings come with a battle mode, which complicates things for the feathered fiend. My disappointment however, stems from the fact that they kind of phone in the fight choreography. They went through the trouble of hiring Bridgerton’s choreographer, Jack Murphy, for the dance sequences, but the fighting felt like a second thought. It could have been really cute to see Ruby do some “Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon,” moves, but instead she clobbers her with a book. A bit underwhelming. Still a fun idea, though.

The Doctor and Rogue abscond to the garden where they are pursued by the Chuldur who reveal their numbers to be greater than anticipated. As baddies go, the Chuldur were little more than hand wringing monsters foaming at the mouth for a bit of mayhem, but I liked that about them. The way they speak to one another reminded me a lot of the Slitheen. The last time we saw Indira Varma in the Whoniverse, she was playing Suzie Costello, the best part of Torchwood. Here she chews scenery with a zest befitting her brilliant makeup. The only time that I felt they went a bit too far with the Chuldur is when they call what they’re doing “cosplaying,” as it felt a bit too on the nose. Otherwise, I loved the idea of evil birds going around and messing up planets all too satiate a dangerous appetite for excitement.

The Doctor sees Ruby acting as though a Chuldur has taken her form and it brings out the fury of the Time Lord. I wouldn’t be the first and I won’t be the last to point out the parallels between this and “The Family of Blood,” wherein the Doctor has some long term punishment in mind for the bad guys. Unfortunately, it also feels like a case of writers giving the Doctor weird morality again. Rogue wants to send the Chuldur to the incinerator, but the Doctor wants to send them to a dimension where they can live out the rest of their lives somewhere where they can’t hurt anyone. How is that any different from what the Weeping Angels do? It’s “Arachnids in the UK,” all over again. When the Doctor expresses happiness that the Chuldur will suffer for a long time, it begs the question- as compared to what? I’m fine with the Doctor losing his temper and going too far, but what about his plan actually changed other than his attitude about it? He was always planning on sending them into a dimension where they would suffer for 600 odd years. A line of dialogue or two could have fixed that.

The Chuldur’s big finale is a wedding between Barton and Ruby followed by a light bit of mass murder, but the Doctor has other plans. The Doctor’s objection to the marriage reminded me a lot of Tom Baker. I could easily hear Tom saying that line about it being hard to hear things through those heavy doors. Gatwa has that bizarre alien charm that feels correct. However, neither the Chuldur or the Doctor know the entire story as neither side knows Ruby is still Ruby. So when the Doctor traps the Chuldur in the triform transporter, he’s also dooming Ruby to the same fate.

I’ve seen some confusion as to how the transporter actually works, but I think I can piece together enough to understand it. They had calibrated the transporter to trap up to six humanoids. When Ruby is first trapped, there are five humanoids in the trap. Rogue throws Emily into the trap bringing the count up to six. We’ve established that the Doctor was able to throw his psychic paper from inside the trap, so things can leave its field. My thinking is that as Rogue pushes Ruby out from the field, he overloads it with seven humanoids giving Ruby just enough give to fall out of the trap. What got a bit confusing is why didn’t Ruby just step out of her shoes? If you can throw psychic paper, then it’s not trapped by the field. Therefore, her shoes would be the only thing molecularly bonded to the field. They could even say the shapeshifters can’t step out of their shoes because they’re actually part of their bodies. But then we couldn't get the big sacrifice at the end.

The aspect of this that I found harder to follow was why Rogue would sacrifice himself in the first place. Sure he and the Doctor have chemistry and there could be a romance brewing, but he barely knows the guy. Perhaps he couldn’t stomach the idea of watching what happened to him happen to someone else. It was a chance to stop the sort of thing he was previously powerless to prevent. I could buy that well enough, but it barely felt earned. However, it fits the tone of the rest of the episode which was one of over the top romance and drama, so I digress. Around here, fun is king and fun I had. It didn’t matter that I didn’t fully understand people’s motivations. There’s plenty of time for that in the future.

The episode ends with the Doctor sending Rogues ship to orbit the moon until it can be retrieved again (or until the moon hatches like an egg, whichever comes first). He wants to move on, but Ruby won't let him until he takes a moment to feel his feelings. This is classic Doctor/companion stuff. The Doctor has always benefited from having humans around and I am glad they took a moment to reestablish that. The Doctor pulls out Rogue's ring from the proposal and slides it onto his pinky finger. Fans of Amy and Rory will recall that rings can be used to find lost lovers, so there's a seed of hope there. It was a fitting end to an emotional and exciting episode. I got to watch the Doctor and Ruby do Regency Era dances to covers of Lady Gaga and Billie Eilish. I got to see Indira Varma hunt people while dressed as a bird. This wasn’t just my favourite episode of the season, it may be one of my favourite episodes ever.

Before I go, I wanted to apologise for how long this article took me to write. I’ve been dealing with some pretty heavy depression as of late, and it’s been hard to write these last couple of reviews. Even though I enjoyed both episodes quite a bit, it’s been a struggle. Despite episodes dropping at midnight on Saturday now, I don’t usually get around to writing until Sunday or Monday. But I didn’t get any good work done on this article until Monday evening. These articles are actually very therapeutic for me. It feels like a lifeline to the outside world. You may not think it, but I read every comment and every hashtag. I appreciate them all. Thank you for taking the time to read my stuff. It means a lot.

uhhh neville did talk abt the void state as the I am state. the void state is just the nickname to it. check @zen-shu s post to it. don't assume we don't even know what it is & ur experience does not change that ur pure consciousness aka the I am state is the sane pure consciousness as the void

ok, here we go then...

I got many people asking me why I said that I AM State is different from Void, I never really made a post about it since I did not wanted people to overthink by thinking they can enter 'I AM State' by "accident" while wanting to tap into the void, which is not possible, since the difference is in the intention, not in the affirmation "I AM..." that can be used to tap in both experiences. ♡ I know other bloggers don't agree with me in this topic, yet a experience is a experience. I don't feel 'upset' with it, I still appreciate them so much and it is okay if you don't agree with me.

I AM x VOID

"the I am state is the sane pure consciousness as the void" This is obvious, since there's not 2 consciousness. "Imagination is God, and there is no other God! His name is "I AM" forever and forever." I AM is the name of God, I AM is, actually, not a state. Nor is the void.

A state is what you identify as being or having. States are temporary, I AM is forever. States are not permanent, but I AM is. "A state is simply an attitude of mind, a body of belief, a phase of experience." “There are an infinite number of states. The state of health, the state of being unknown, all are only states and everyone is always in a state.” We are at many and many states right now. But we are ALWAYS I AM. And the void is always, nothingless. That's why I don't really like to call those experiences 'states'.

☯︎ I like to see I AM and VOID as yin yang. Creation is made by opposition. Hot and cold, good and evil, WHOLENESS AND NOTHINGLESS. Consciousness can experiment both.

+ "ur experience does not change that ur pure consciousness" I never said that.

Before reading about the void, I had read At Your Command by Neville. So I tried to do it, and it was exactly as most of experiences people had 3, 4 years ago, before 'void' being a 'method' to ''get desires instantly''. Neville Goddard students had experienced the same I did.

I closed my eyes and started repeating "I am.. I am" and I got numb, then I felt like I was everything, saw my city from the sky (it was not a astral travel), then I felt like I was the trees, the world, other people, I saw the Gold Melting and then I saw myself in the body of my sp, we had fighted some weeks before, and I felt he was sorry and saw him apologizing, I understood "everyone is you pushed out" that day. Then I really entered the state of being forgiven, as Neville said, it's simple to enter a state when you know you are all the states. When I left, I got a text from my sp, saying he was sorry and missed me.

I had others I AM experiences where I felt like being every part of creation, feeling myself being them and all of that. The last was last year, I shared one with Vesora. (ignore the grammar)

A lot of people said to me "this is just what you experienced, it's some random thing." well but it was not only me, here I linked lot's of I AM experiences from NevilleGoddard/reddit. Most of them were posted way before of void being know as this 'magical method'. They did what Neville Goddard said, this was the "I AM" meditation. Am I saying the void did not existed back then? No! The void always existed, but it was not knew as a "manifesting tool" as it now is. And it was not knew this way (we now know) by the old Law of Assumption community. They believed they could change their states using 'I am technique', but they thought they would have to wait a "bridge of incidents", and that the desire would not be manifested instantly. Then here we found the difference.

+Golden Melting experiences commented by Neville (you can skip if you want): "A bolt of lightning splits man in two from the top of his skull to the base of his spine. He is cleft as though he were a tree that had been struck by lightening. at the base of his severed body he sees “the blood of Jesus”, a pool of molten gold; he knows it is himself; then fusing with “the blood of Jesus” he ascends his severed spine in a serpentine motion into his skull. This is to fulfil the Scripture; “This Son of Man must be lifted up as the serpent was lifted up by Moses in the wilderness” (John 3:14)." - Neville Goddard (from He breaks the Shell)

"I was sitting in the Silence, not thinking of anything in particular, just simply contemplating this interior structure of the brain as it were. If you turn your eyes, mentally turn them inward and just let them rest upon the interior of your skull, in a little while all these dark convolutions of the brain grow luminous and they fascinate you. The whole thing becomes liquid and golden liquid light. So while watching this wonderful golden liquid light, suddenly out of the nowhere came a stone, a rock. There’s nothing more sterile, nothing more opaque, nothing more contracted as far as imagery is concerned than a rock. So here was a rock, this quartz. As I looked at it, just simply looking at it, not wondering why it’s before me, but there it is before me, and suddenly it became fragmented, broken into unnumbered pieces. Then all these little pieces were gathered together, but not re-formed into the rock (the original form) but into a human shape. And here it takes human form. Here, I am seeing a man seated in the lotus posture. I became intrigued. As I looked closer, I’m looking at myself. I am the being that I’m contemplating. Here he is seated in the lotus posture and just the very image of the being I knew myself to be. As I looked at him, he began to glow and he increased in luminosity until he reached the limit of intensity, and then he exploded. Then I returned to this level with only the memory of what I had experienced." - Neville (He Is Meditating Me)

"your whole body is split from top to bottom, revealing blood…but the blood is living, golden, liquid light. As you look at it, you not only know it is yourself, but you know it is the Creator and Redeemer…and yet you know it is yourself (Blake, Jer., Plt.96)." - Neville (Everyone Has the Plan in Him)

"you see the golden liquid light that is truly life itself" - Neville (What Must We Do? Believe!)

"At the base of the spine is a pool of golden living liquid light, and as I looked at it I knew it was myself. Here I am a pool of living liquid light" - Neville (Imagination’s Power)

"When you go into the Silence and you see this golden liquid light that moves and moves and moves all through the brain." - Neville (Remembrance of Things Future)

Another topic, most important one for me, is that I AM was knew as this experience where you discover/FEEL you are God, that the world is within you, that everyone is you pushed out. Not as only a tool to "change the world", but as a way to understand YOU are the world and the world comes from you. Then you stop desiring, since you know there's nothing to create, but to accept. Accept that creation is finished, and it is all coming from us. So we don't have to change the world, but change SELF with the knowing we ARE GOD.

The void obsession comes when you think that in order to have what you want, you think you need to access something outside of you, "God power", you have to do something, you have to do a method, you need to tap into the void, etc. But you forget, you ALREADY are God. You focus in 3d and you think "I have to change it". But you don't have to change nothing in the outside, you have to change SELF. And repeating/feeling I AM, which first was a beautiful way Neville taught of understanding you are God, a way to free yourself, "be still and know I am God", turned into a 'hype', a 'escape', a obsession, something that people think they need to somehow enter so that they can change their world, they forget that there's no way to change the world since all you can change is SELF, and that Self, is GOD.

So, at least for me, those are the meaning of the names we are used to think are synonym of "void", based in what they meant in the past:

ps: yes, I know void, God and I AM WORDS have the same meaning of "Conciousness, awareness, mind". But the meaning the community gave to each of them in terms of the name of the different experiences, mean different things.

God State:

"The god state is when you know that you are creating, you know that everything that you desire is coming to you [is already yours!!]. It’s a state where you have full trust that you are manifesting your life.

Being in the god state feels effortless, you know that everything is responding to your thoughts and assumptions."

I AM (as a meditation/experience):

A experience where you feel yourself to be all. Wholeness, everything, everyone. Gold melting. The nature, the animals, you get visions, you almost feel overwhelmed by the knowing nothing exists without being part of you.

VOID:

"When he attains the state of void, all thoughts cease for then pure Thought thinks itself alone." Stillness, emptiness, blackness, nothingless. You don't feel nor see nothing. Know as method to manifest instantly or shift.

+ Can I accidentaly experience one of those? No. If you want to enter THE VOID, you have the intention, you are naturally expecting to 'enter' the void, so you will enter the void.

Again, you don't have to agree with me. But I guess I had included great evidence that sustain my arguments, so that's the post, my views on it.

✩ I see I AM and VOID as WORDS to represent what it is to be/feel God aware of the whole creation, and be/feel God aware of the nothingless the creation was made of.

Stay with me forever (Yandere! Ray x Reader) Part 1

Part 2: coming soon...

It’s a beautiful sunny day, the sky was clear without a single cloud in sight. In a place in South Korea, there was a building that looked like a majestic castle surrounded by a beautiful forest. Inside there were several people doing different types of activities, such as cooking, cleaning, gardening, etc. That building had a large garden, it was very beautiful. You could see all kinds of flowers, all receiving the best care. In this splendid garden on the grass there was a couple, a man and a woman. They were both sitting on a tablecloth, along with a picnic basket, and several plates of food scattered all over the tablecloth. The man grabbed one of the strawberries from one of the plates, placed a little cocoa powder on top and brought it to the woman’s lips, who had her back leaned against his chest. The woman parted her lips and took a small bite. The man smiled sweetly as he saw the woman slowly chewing the strawberry. 

“It's a gorgeous day, isn't it my angel?” The man said sweetly, to which the woman only nodded her head.

“This day brings memories of when you came to Mint Eye, do you remember?” The man added to which the woman nodded her head again. “I remember I was in the server room, talking to you on the phone. I remember how excited you were when you agreed to try out the game I was developing. I remember when I helped you get out of the car because your eyes were covered by a blindfold. I remember that your hand held mine and you let yourself be guided with complete confidence, since you made it clear that you trusted me… Ah, what beautiful memories.” 

The woman listened as the man spoke, but the words were barely processed by her brain. She stared at one of the flowers in the garden, while the man continued talking and she didn’t show any emotion or interest in what he said.

“But do you know what memory I treasure most of the two of us together?”

“...” 

“It's the day you decided to stay by my side forever, my dear (Y/N).”

***

It was an ordinary day at Mint Eye, you were sitting in one of the chairs in your room drinking tea, and at the same time you were 'playing' the game that Ray was making with so much care for you. The conversation with the avatars was nothing more than Seven wanting to play with Jumin's beautiful cat, while he made it clear to her that, even if the sun went out, he would never leave his beloved kitten in the hands of a cat abuser. Zen was also in the chat, he was trying to change the topic of conversation since just thinking about that ball of hair made him sneeze and right now he was on break from a rehearsal for the next musical he was about to film, so he just wanted to relax a little. Yoosung was trying to help Zen by saying how boring his classes were and he wished the weekend would come quickly so he could play LOLOL all day. You just laughed at Seven and Jumin's conversation, and tried to give emotional support to Zen. 

You didn't know why, but you had this feeling that the characters were real and that you were actually talking to them all the time since you arrived at Mint Eye. You had such deep and complex conversations with them, and it made you doubt that a game was so well programmed to converse like a normal person. After a few minutes, the members of the RFA left the chat one by one to continue resuming their activities. You said goodbye to them warmly and let out a sigh. As if destiny were in perfect sync with you, you heard someone knock on the door of your room, to which you only responded with a 'come in'. The door opened and revealed Ray's figure. He had a smile on his face and was carrying a tray of food with him. You were so focused on the game that you hadn't realized that it was time for lunch.

“Good afternoon (Y/N), how was this morning?” Ray walked over to you and placed the tray on the table. 

“Hi Ray, it’s good to see you. This morning was very calm, thanks for asking” you replied with a small smile.

“I'm sorry for not coming the other night and for not bringing you breakfast today,” Ray said, bowing slightly as he placed his right hand on his chest. 

“You don't need to apologize, Ray. I completely understand how busy you must be with the development of the game” you replied and gently grabbed his hand.

“Developing a game is not easy, especially when the person I work for wants to release the game as soon as possible,” Ray said, sighing. 

“This game must be very important to require your full attention, but Ray answers me this: Have you been sleeping and eating well?” you asked him with a worried expression.

“I've been taking naps, and as for whether I've eaten… I only had a piece of toast for breakfast,” Ray replied with a low voice and with his cheeks red with embarrassment to which you sighed. 

“Ray… you know well that I don't like you neglecting your health, you are important too.”

“You don't have to worry about me, your happiness is the only thing that matters to me.”

“Ray, it doesn't make me happy that you don't take care of yourself, it makes me sad.”

"No! Don't feel sad for me! I promise I will improve my lifestyle,” Ray exclaimed and knelt down next to you.

“Do you promise me?”

“I promise you, whatever makes you happy I will do it.”

“There is one thing you can do right now to make me happy.”

“Tell me, anything you want, I'll do it.”

You grabbed your fork and stabbed it into a piece of sweet and sour chicken from the lunch Ray had brought you. You slowly brought it to his lips. “You would make me happy if you shared this lunch with me.”

"But-!" Ray tried to protest to which you quickly interrupted him. 

“No ifs or buts. Now open your mouth and say 'aaah'”, Ray with his face completely red from shyness does what (Y/N) asked. (Y/N) smiled when she saw how cute Ray looked chewing the food, so she continued feeding him herself. Ray tried so hard not to blush but it was impossible for him. The woman he loved so much, the one who treated him so kindly and made him feel alive, was feeding him. To Ray, (Y/N) was an angel sent from heaven. She was his world, his purpose in life, and now that she had come to him, Ray was never going to let her go.

The days continued to pass and you continued with your usual routine. Ray came to visit you more frequently and every day you had a conversation on the phone. You were happy to see that Ray kept his promise, as he looked healthier. They enjoyed every meal together. Every night they had a walk through the garden to look at the flowers or just see the stars. 

Now you find yourself walking through the gardens of Mint Eye. Ray trusted you so much that he gave you permission to go for a walk through the gardens whenever you wanted so you wouldn't get bored. Because of his job, he couldn't always accompany you, so he sent a believer to make sure you were safe. You were enjoying the silence of the night and the moon was your only company at the moment. A while ago you had finished a chat with the members of the RFA and you decided to take a short walk to clear your mind a little. You sat on the edge of the water fountain that was in the center of the garden and stared at the stars, while you had this feeling that something was wrong in this place.

Suddenly you heard the sound of footsteps approaching you little by little. A believer showed up shortly, it made you a little sad because you knew the believer was going to escort you back to your room. However, to your surprise, the believer removed the hood of his robe that covered his entire head. Your eyes dilated and your mouth opened at someone you never expected to see in your life. This believer was neither more nor less than a man who was identical to the character of V, the leader of the RFA. You rubbed your eyes vigorously to make sure what you were seeing was real and not an enlightenment. 

“I finally get to meet you in person Rosalie,” V said calmly.

“Impossible… you can't be real” you muttered, completely surprised. “But if you're the character in Ray's game…”

“But what are you saying?” V asked surprised.

“Ray is developing a game, one of the characters is called V and he is very identical to you…”

“(Y/N) I don't want to scare you, but I'm actually V.”

“Does that mean that the members of the RFA are real and not avatars?”

"That's right. Ray has been telling you lies this whole time.”

“This doesn't make sense.”

“(Y/N) I understand that you have your doubts, but I need you to listen to me because your life is in danger.”

"What do you mean?" 

“(Y/N), you have to be very careful from now on. This place is nowhere near the paradise that both Ray and his followers claim it to be.”

“What do you mean, V?”

“I don't want to scare you (Y/N), so I'm not going to get into the details. The only thing I'm going to say is that you have to be more careful from now on, don't trust anything Ray tells you.”

“What don't you want me to know, V? Why can't I trust Ray? What are you doing-?”, you felt your entire body tremble at V's words. You wanted V to tell you what was happening here, but you were quickly interrupted by him. 

“I wish I could tell you everything, but right now is not a good time,” V said, trying to reassure you. “I must go since my time here is very limited.”

“Wait-.”

“(Y/N), I have to go. But I will continue to keep in touch by phone. Any suspicious actions, please let me know,” V hurriedly said and covered his head with his hood again and disappeared as quickly as he appeared. 

You stood completely paralyzed, staring in the direction V had gone. You were having a hard time processing what he had told you and you had no idea what to think or what to do right now. You remained silent for a few minutes, but at the same time didn’t you realize that a certain white-haired man was hiding and with a look that could kill anyone who crossed his path.

I have a request if that’s okay. What about Jumin, Zen and GE Saeran reacting to their lonely female mc wanting more love and affection because the rfa members were busy? Like, feeling spoiled, wanting them to pepper her face with kisses, cuddle her and tickle her. (non sexual fluff please)

Hii, of course it's okay, requests and asks are very welcome!^^

Let's start with Jumin:

Jumin honestly loves it the most when Mc feels a little needy because he loves to pamper you in every way.Jumin is a busy man but after noticing that you seemed down and lonely lately he decided to set aside a day to take a break from his work to give you more attention, he was looking forward to spending more time with you, even more so when the opportunity to pamper you came up.

After seeing the smile that appeared on your face after he told you that he had planned in detail how the two of you would spend a productive day together as a couple, he shower you with quiet, gentle kisses.In the evening he prepare an overly fancy dinner for you and kiss your hand several times looking into your eyes with a small smile.When it was time to go to sleep he will make sure to stay by your side reading books and telling you stories until you fell asleep. Don't be surprised if in the next day he shows you a blurry photo he took of you while you were asleep and telling you how lovely you are, thus starting a new session of kissing.

Saeran:

He gets a little sad when you are feeling lonely because he knows the feeling very well since before he met you he was very lonely,

Saeran pays a lot of attention to you so he quickly noticed that you feel a bit needy when RFA is busy as you have no one to talk to and need attention and affection, he would make sure to spend the day by your side and whisper a lot of loving and corny things while hugging you.

He would start with a cuddling session for quite a while while repeatedly stating how much he loves you and doesn't want you to forget this even when you are feeling lonely.Since Saeran wants to create many memories with you, after the hugging session, he decides to take you to a park full of flowers for the two of you to spend a good time together.He ask you to lie down on the grass next to him so you two can watch the sky together with your head resting on his chest. When you ended up falling asleep he watch your peaceful face giving you a little kiss on the forehead and turning back to look at the sky with a grateful smile for having you in his life while holding you even tighter.

When he finally wakes you up, he gives you a small bouquet of flowers smiling and blushing.

Zen:

Zen is kind of possesive and deep down he would like him to be the only man you have contact with so he would see this moment as an opportunity to show you how much he loves you and that he is the most suitable man for you and you two are made for each other but regardless of everything he wants you to be happy and feel adored.

First of all he ask you what's wrong after seeing you a little gloomy and when you admit that you feel lonely because all the RFA is so busy lately, he would hug you saying that you have him and that he will always be available for you.

He go to his room to get all the beauty products he has and then come over to you who were sitting on the couch and ask you if you want to do skin care together with him.

After using face masks together and various other products, he even lets you do his makeup and paint his nails for his amusement.

Although you did a funny make-up and made a mess on his face to play with him, he just laugh and let it go this time since you seem to be enjoying yourself.

... It's a Dream

Content: G rating / Zenitsu x Reader (fem)

fluff, lots of love, lots of appreciation for baby Zenitsu, pls comment that you like it I need good energy, hhhhh

Something gleams about this boy; in the sunlight anyone might mistake him for an angel asleep on his side in a field of peony and tulips. An angel with a blond hair resting sound and peaceful on the green grass, his palms curled softly beneath his chin, placidly his chest raises and lowers. There were a bunch of children playing not so far from here— their laughter echoes to a distance, vibrations of pure happiness reaching the soundless mountains; ascending the blue sky and its many fluffy clouds. “Zenitsu” A gentle voice— It’s from a girl who sat close to him above his head, calling his name. Her knees meeting the grass, moving her warm hand onto his hair softly ruffling it twice “Zen-Zen” to which he sleepily groans; still not awake. The girl chuckle as her eyes were fixed on Zenitsu; adoring him, it’s impossible not to find herself smiling when she looks at him. Similar to her regular thoughts about him ‘Something gleams about this boy’— Might be his sparkly eyes or his open warm heart… maybe his selfless soul or those generous hands; she wonders as she holds his sluggish hand then invite him to sleep on her lap carefully. Like a feather Zenitsu’s head rest on her thighs, sudden series of clouds intermittently covered the sun as she parts his hair on his forehead to then print a kiss. For a second he lowered his eyebrows, which she sensed and then kept her eyes staring at his shut eyes for a moment, his fingers were pressing onto hers; gradually holding onto her relaxed fingers. Then slowly he opens his tired eyes, realizing a face; beautiful eyes looking straight in his pupils, realizing how close his girlfriend was. Trying to keep his fluttering chest together; under his invincible compressed shy smile and rosy cheeks ���(y/n)—” he whimpered, yet she responded in glee waiting for what he’s about to say. “…Aa-…Ee...” stuttering, his eyes are stiff staring right back at hers feeling his brain melting, and her smile unwavering; wide and loving. That cute face of hers tied his tongue, he paused for seconds as birds were chirping out of the blue— flying freely in the sky, many sparrows he recognized “What?” she awaits him to start talking.

“I heard you kissing my head” He said with a certain face, making sure she knows that he’s aware in his sleep, tempting her to hold his face and to kiss him again but this time on his cheek so softly, it has trembled his entire body.

“I can’t breathe, you’re too close!” He disclosed, hardly shutting his eyes then he sees her silhouette moving off him, his sighs of relief; hot and divided as it escapes his throat. To then notices that (y/n) being close or kissing him wasn’t the only issue and that his head was resting on her soft lap, and that his hand was holding her fingers, at then he froze and couldn’t further complain to ease his nervousness. Many thoughts were racing in his mind, stressing over whither he’s giving an impression of being too clingy, or if it’s pathetic to hold your girlfriend’s fingers while asleep, or if he’s too comfortable with her he’s becoming inconsiderate— cutting his dark train of thoughts with her caring voice“I told you not to sleep outside—”. He rouse up, sitting with his legs outstretched on the grass “You were so cute asleep on the grass~” elated she recalls, Zenitsu quietly and shyly grin with his hand on the back of his neck, his face was somewhat serious; subdued and shy as his eyes were deflecting not looking at (y/n) but then he’d glimpse at her on and on. “Zen-Zen, what’s wrong? was it another nightmare?” she worries and crawl right next to him, her hands hugging his arm; pushing his frame slightly as she transcends his personal space. Pervading through his walls easily, her head rests upon his shoulder of which was reclining slowly but surly. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it, I’ll keep holding onto you till you’re feeling better.” She says “You need another kiss, baby?” “S~Stop.” He turns away, barely catching his breath.

Softness and light were all he’s been surrounded with; ever since they were together (not long ago), his dark-side been fairly sedated by her love although he’d forcibly awaken his consciousness in fear of repeating his past or being a burden on her. However, he can’t think straight now as he feels his heart about to drop outside his chest from her serene breathes, he loves listening to her heartbeat gently regulating (Still can’t understand how she feels calm holding onto his jittery body.). He pouts coyly beneath his fingers, trying to shift his attention, looking at the kids from afar who’s screams were sort of entering his dream earlier few times. “Noisy” he mutters, (y/n) look up at him she didn’t even get what he’s complaining about but all she could think of was how beautiful he get’s when he’s annoyed too, she digs her fingers onto his unprepared chest and Zenitsu starts panicking “AaaaAAA (y/n)! I just woke up I can’t handle your cuteness.” And so, she returns her hand around his arm “Hehe” she giggles while he’s moaning “So mean” he blushes again.

Sweet breeze brushed on the couple, Zenitsu can hear the flowers they grew together swaying in the bushes, “We’ve done a good job with the flowers today.” He comments looking at their plants basking under the warm sunlight. (y/n) responds “Yeah… You’ve done so great today, I’m sure they are happy being taken care of by an expert.” “Me? An expert? Haha quit the joking” His denial and mockery of himself forced her to jump from her comfortable hug to look him in the eyes (very closely) and kept insisting “You’re good Zenitsu! You notice the weeds when they grow and pick them out, you always water the plants just enough not more not less, you cover the saplings from the birds to not eat them and—” her passionate talk falters as she remembers the last detail “You caress the flowers’ petals and smile at them” o/w/o. “I DON’T DO THAT” his face was insanely red as he disagrees, “YES, YOU DO~!” she response, finally happy she got to talk about her favourite thing he does in their fenceless garden. Holding both his hands, checking all the scars and marks on them, softly she tells him “Sometimes I forget that you’re a demon hunter, you’re so warm and soft, loving and caring. And I adore that about you, whither you think it’s embarrassing or not. I can't help but fall for you even more.”

Overwhelmed, he doesn’t understand what keeps a beautiful kind girl like her besides his forlorn self, he can’t put his finger on it but her unconditional love makes him emotional ever since they even met. The orange sun was cascading it's blessed light behind (y/n), there she is with her illuminated hair strands, bright eyes and smile. As he extends his arms around her, suddenly he finds his tears have ran swiftly already dropping off his small face, to him hugging this precious sweet girl was a privilege and a luxury he couldn’t even dream of and still can’t fathom to. “I’m sorry— you know I cry a lot it’s pathetic” he sobs nuzzling her cheek “But don’t worry, I just love you so much… it hurts”. “You frightened me” (y/n) relieved then takes his hand, which was embracing her, kissing it and holding it to her other cheek. “I told you over and over, it’s not pathetic to cry.” she reaches her thumbs onto his lower-lid and wipe his many non stopping tears “Shhhushhh” pulling his head, curving his upper back as she shove him on her chest tighter, and pacifying him like a baby which he commented on while being squeezed in her hug “I’m not a child T_T” She pat his head “There, there”

His arms gradually tightened around her waist, feeling comfortable enough to. Zenitsu hoping this isn't a dream, praying it isn't a dream.

On Marrok: Why I hated your theories and why I am glad I was right all along:

So, Marrok ended up being literally no one, and this I sort of knew. I’ve blogged about why. I’ve also blogged about why I thought your theories sucked, but let me break it down for you again because I feel like gloating a little.

First, your theories about Barriss Offee:

Barriss was done hella dirty in The Clone Wars. In legends, she was one of the greatest healers the Jedi had. And, to this effect, it would make sense that she would hate the war and what was happening. She felt that shit on a molecular level. Every cell in her body probably pulsated pain from what she was witnessing day in and out on the battlefield. Orchestrating a bombing of the Jedi temple though? Eh? I don’t know. I get WHY she was the choice, but… it still sucked. There is a pretty sizable chunk of fandom that still have a lot of negative feelings about it too (people that the Ahsoka series was made for). And, even on a Watsonian level, Barriss’s reasoning for bombing the temple would suggest that she would never become an inquisitor willingly. It just wouldn’t make sense that she bombed the temple because she was keenly aware of the fact that the Jedi were unknowingly (in their defense) fighting for the dark-side only to later become an inquisitor. She would likely sacrifice herself before it came to that. Never mind, on a Doylist level, the fact that ship has sailed. If Filoni had intended to use her as a mere Inquisitor, he would have already done so in Rebels. Barriss could have easily been the seventh sister, but she wasn’t (Filoni has said so).

Could we still see Barriss? Perhaps. I don’t hold my breath, but I think a lot of folks want to know what became of her. I tend to think IF she shows up in the Ahsoka series, it will be as whatever the hell kind of “Jedi” Baylan and Shin are. While Shin obviously has a sort of dark wild-side, Baylan seems as though he is motivated by something he sees as a greater good. What becomes of this is anyone’s guess, but I could see Barriss trying to better the Galaxy… whatever that may mean for her.

Second, your theories about Ezra Bridger:

So, this one I have not talked about prior, but I still thought it was sort of a stretch. While being the most compelling option if Filoni had wanted to take the “he’s someone important” route, it didn’t make much sense characteristically for Ezra at this point. And, I say that because Ezra already flirted with the dark side in Rebels and gave it up. We saw him struggle with anger and attachments, so much so that he was able to open the Sith holocron, attain knowledge from it, and use questionable dark side powers to help his friends (him controlling that Imperial in the walker in season three was peak; I’m not going to lie, but…). Ezra was already brought back in. He failed epically and nearly got his friends killed, and Kanan was able to talk him off of the ledge. By the end of season four, Ezra was zen in a lot of ways, wise in others and was willing to let go of his attachments for the greater good. He overcame.

Ezra serving the dark side in New Republic times would be a step backwards, and I don’t think that’s going to happen. I don’t know how Ezra is going to get pulled back into the fold, but when he is, he won’t be evil.

Third, your theories about Galen Marek (aka Starkiller):

I’m going to be real with you. This seemed to be the most popular theory, and yet it was my least favorite one. Mainly because of the toxicity that would have surrounded this choice on so many levels.

First, Starkiller was grossly overpowered. He brought a fucking Star Destroyer out of the sky with the force, melted an entire legion of storm troopers and wiped the floor with Vader in a duel. Ahsoka wouldn’t have stood a chance in hell. And, folks are like “well he could have been nerfed!” But no, because the toxic element of fandom that truly wanted Starkiller to face Ahsoka would have been pissed that he was nerfed… and they would have bitched loudly about it.

Second, thematically, it made no sense. It would have been the worst possible fan service known to mankind. It would have made virtually no sense narratively, and it would have sent up dozens of questions about canon that would be yet another mess creatives would have to clean up afterward. So, no. Bad. Bad all around.

Third, and this is just me being who I am, but I know good and goddamned well an uncomfortably large set of fandom would have shipped him and Ahsoka. There’s probably a small underbelly of fiction about it that already exists. And, honestly, I’m completely surprised we didn’t get Marrok shipped with Ahsoka (Marrosoka? Ahsorok?) because it feels as if Filoni is purposely avoiding men to ship Ahsoka with in this series. Like, you’re being force to grasp at straws. Regardless, it would have been gross. It would have been problematic on so many levels. It just makes me cringe thinking about it.

In closing:

Anyway, it was good watching Marrok literally go up in smoke. For those of you that aren’t privy to this, that was night sister magic. Marrok was the equivalent of a night sister zombie. If you haven’t seen The Clone Wars, you probably didn’t know that and congrats, Filoni just gave you the finger again for not being in the know. I will say that while this moment seemed insignificant in the short term (Marrok’s existence as an entity), this is going to come back to haunt the heroes later… as there is likely a whole hoard of undead night sister zombie creatures waiting in the wings to wreak havoc on everything and everyone. It isn’t coincidental that everyone stopped battling the moment Marrok went up in a puff of green smoke including Shin. Wait for it.

Echoes of Home: 36 - Tsu'na ("freedom")

Echoes of Home: FFXIV AU OC – WoLs on Earth

I went to explore last night while Husband was on bouncer shift.  He insisted I take "flashlights" with me, and I am glad he did.  Eorzea never got completely dark, but this world comes closer.  The stars are bright and clear when there are no clouds, but the land below is very dark, and the stars do not give enough light for me to read my journal's map.

With a flashlight, and making slow progress, I was able to map land south of Wyatt.  I found nodes we should try on our next camping trip.  The texture of the land is similar to where we have found tin in Eorzea.

I made sweeps of the land to thoroughly map it, then turned off my light and lay back on the goobbue's head.  I studied stars as an Astrologian, but mostly certain constellations that related to my skills.  Those constellations are not in this world.  I need to try my skills under this sky.

But it was peaceful, and quiet, and pretty, up in the air above the trees and under the stars.  There has been so much peace since coming here.  There is the peace in Husband's arms.  There is the "zen-like" peace of working on the shed.  There is the simple peace of making a hundred pretzels.  And there was the peace in the sky.

When I came to Limsa I only really knew peace.  Since then I saw many kinds of war.

Everyone who is not a leader knows war is bad.  People die, homes are destroyed, families are damaged, land is ruined.  But people who do enough fighting, while they know war is bad, also know that fighting is something they can do.  It becomes a part of them.  A part of us.  A part of me.

It is as natural for me to draw my sword or book as it is to draw my hatchet or needle.  Yet I have drawn neither sword nor book since coming here.  And while I do not truly wish to look for people to kill, I wonder about this part of me I have not used.

Perhaps I should return to hunting.  Deer are so easy to kill that it is more like gathering than battle.  Other creatures, then?  I passed over a fenced field that had large dark shapes that could be beastkin.  If they respawn, their keeper would not miss them.

Husband could perhaps have told me what all those stars I was seeing were.  I must remember to ask him why a lot of stars seem clustered together in a long cloud.  It is surely the sort of thing people would notice and study and add names to.  I could have headed back to Wyatt right then and asked him, but I was content for the moment to lie in the sky.

What if I fell asleep there?  What would people think waking up to the sight of a goobbue floating in the morning sky?

I did not fall asleep.  I was too torn to sleep.  I was compelled to simply lay there and soak in the peace, but I was also restless, wanting to do something with my hands.  It annoyed me then, it annoys me now, that I cannot settle on one or the other.  There should be the stillness Husband talked about before.

I do not know how long I did lie there, but in time I gave up and Returned to Wyatt.  I walked to the Pit but did not go in.  I let my restlessness draw me to the shed.

Perhaps I could have done carpentry.  I did not.  I took out a camp lantern, set it up near what Husband called the door panel leaning against the shed, and contemplated the woodwork.

Husband wants the shed to be built.  I agree that it should be built, but it was not what I wanted right then.

A sword is awkward against a flat surface.  An axe would be too easy.  A lance might get stuck.  A bow would be too slow.  Fire would be too extreme.  A water cannon would be more messy than effective.  And I wanted action, movement.

I shifted to Dancer.  I brought up my rings.

BAMBAM

Cascade.  Twist clockwise, rings flung parallel to the ground, one after the other.  The rings slammed into the wood and bounced back to me.

BAMBAM

Fountain.  Twist counterclockwise and fling.

BAM BAM

Fountainfall.  Spin in a wheel, fling overhand with full force.

BAM

Reverse cascade.  Throw both rings together underhand.

BAMBAM BAMBAM BAM BAM BAM

I let my mind go blank as I flowed into the combo.  It was motion.  It was force.  It was violence.  It was freedom.

It was also loud.  Husband and Sam came out to see what I was doing.  I did not know if Husband would be angry at me for damaging his door panel.  I did not know what I would do with an angry Husband.  We have not truly fought since I knocked him out with my book.  A part of me wanted to see what would happen.

What happened was that he accepted me.  He put his arms around me and we talked about it.  He stood aside and asked me to demonstrate for Sam.  I do not think he forgave me, because I do not think he blamed me, though I will be helping him make a new panel.  He walked home with me holding my hand.

When we got home he kissed me, he massaged me, and he held me in bed.  He was not angry, nor was he joyous.  He was accepting of his wife who damaged his door panel simply because she felt the need to do so.

It felt wonderful.  It was another kind of peace.  One I could fall asleep to.

"One In The Same"

A TFA Blitzwing x Mech!Reader

Word Count: 1.3k

Chapter 5: A Con's Concern

A/n sorry for this chapter being late! Had to rewrite it like 5 times

------

'None of this makes sense.' I thought to myself as I continued to fly aimlessly as dawn's gentle fingers of light crept up the black velvet sky. 'Maybe I'm just having ghost data? Or some sort of phantom memory? Ugh, I wish I knew how to access my memory core. Wait, what's that?'

I saw something move not far from where we last encountered the Decepticons. I drifted down to get a closer look and was surprised to see Blitzwing in a rather rough shape half buried in the snow. I landed not far from him and shifted forms, the triple changer looking up at me with a strange sort of fear that reminded me of the little femme I had seen in my dream.

I knew I had to help him, and I did my best at moving the massive bot out of the snow bank and against a tree. He was missing several parts of his frame, which were no doubt scattered around somewhere.

He didn't say a word as I located each missing part and dragged it over to reattach it to his frame, my smaller servos delicately working at the wiring and plating as best as I could for a bot without proper tools.

"I didn't know you had medical experience." He finally said.

"My caretaker taught me a few things." I said quietly as I fiddled with a few bolts and cables, eventually securing them into place. "I'm nowhere near as skilled as he is, but I can fix up a bot where needed."

"The... caretaker. Zat would be the Autobot medic, yes?"

"Mhm." I hummed while I worked. "He's been taking care of me since I came online."

"You were forged a triple changer?" He asked. I paused my work and looked up at him with a sad expression.

"No. I was an... experiment that went wrong." I looked back down at my work and continued on fiddling with wires and connection cables, eventually successfully reattatching one of his arms. "Flex your servo so I can see if I wired this correctly." Blitzwing did so and had fairly decent mobility. "Good, it's not perfect, but it will allow your internal repairs to finish the job." I then grabbed his leg and began work on reattatching it.

After a long silence, I was able to get the triple changer back into functioning condition.

"There, you should be able to get around now." I said.

"I... thank you." He said awkwardly. A small smile tugged at my face as a result. As I went to leave, he gently grabbed my servo, causing me to look back with curiosity. "Can... can you stay for a little bit and just... talk?" It was so strange to see hesitation come from the triple changer, but I shrugged and sat down in front of him.

"What did you want to talk about?" I asked.

"You said you were the result of an experiment," he said. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's... complicated." I said meekly. "The Autobots wanted to add flyers to their ranks and theorized they could convert grounders into flyers through some complicated changes. I was one of their test subjects."

"They captured you?" He asked.

"No, I was already dead." I said. "Whatever life I had previously was snuffed and erased from my data banks, although as of late, I'm not entirely sure if it was done correctly. But that's neither here nor there. You?"

"Similar story, except I... wasn't as fortunate." My expression softened at the triple changer, and I gently touched his servo in silent reassurance that he didn't have to say anything further.

"I'm sorry. I won't pry any further." I said.

"I've gotten over it." He said.

"Wish I could say the same." I muttered as I awkwardly fiddled with the stabilizing collar around my neck.

"Vhy, do you wear that?" He asked.

"Hm?"

"Zat thing on your neck."

"It helps keep my mental states in check." I said. "I... without it, I'm not stable."

"Ohoho, you go crazy zen?" Blitzwing's Random persona cackled.

"Heh, you could say that." I chuckled.

We continued to chat for a while about our various experiences with being triple changers, how others treated us, and so on. The more we talked the closer I felt to him, and it made me wonder why he continued to serve as a Decepticon.

"Why do you follow Megatron?" I asked.

"Originally because he promised to free us." Blitzwing said. "We were both slaves under the old senate, and it seemed like the best thing at the time. Now? It's because I know Cybertron won't accept me back and... Megatron terrifies me."

I paused for a long time before giving him a gentle and empathetic look.

"Megatron can only use fear to control you for so long." I said as I gently took his massive servo between my smaller ones. "And he's gone. He can't hurt you anymore."

"I vish I could believe that." He said quietly.

"If he hurts you! I'll beat the scrap out of him!" I snarled with violet optics. "You don't deserve to get hurt by an overgrown pile of rust!"

"Ohoho! Can you imagine a little autobot like you slapping the slag out of him?" Blitzwing cackled. "Zat would be insane!" My optics switched back to blue, and I busted out laughing, causing Blitzwing to switch to his Icy persona and turn a bright pink with his cooling fans on high gear.

My own clicked on when I realized his expression, and I looked away with embarrassment.

'Oh frag oh frag oh frag! Why me? Why me? Why me?! I can't be falling for a Decepticon! Even if he's... strangely sweet and... oddly cute.'

"Are um, you all right?" He asked awkwardly.

"I um. I'm fine." I lied poorly. I then felt his servo cup my face and a loud revv came from my engine at the contact.

"Did... did you just revv at me?" He asked.

"NO!" I snapped with a very flushed face, my optics locking on his with a slight scowl on my face. He swapped to his Random persona and giggled like an idiot.

"You're too cute, little autobot." He cackled.

"Staaaaahp!" I huffed as I covered my face, the blush climbing up all the way to my audials.

"Oh, come on! Let me see zat cute blush!" I peeked between my digits and glared at him.

"Don't make me undo the work I just did." I huffed.

"Ooohoohohoo! Spicy!"

"I swear to Primus-" I was cut off when I heard the sound of a jet engine overhead, instinct causing me to jump up and eject my claws as I shielded Blitzwing from the potential threat.

"There you are!" The familiar screech of Starscream snapped as he shifted forms and landed in front of us.

"Back off, Starscream!" I hissed at the seeker.

"Oh, you're here too?" He sneered. "Don't you remember the last time you tried to fight me?"

"Yeah, when you destroyed part of Detroit." I growled.

"That wasn't what I was referring to, Enigma." He growled. "Or do you prefer Y/D?"

"Enigma?" Blitzwing questioned as he struggled to stand.

"I don't know what he's talking about." I said.

"Then maybe I should jog your memory." Starscream went to strike me just as the sounds of several engines roared up to us.

"Y/D!" Ratchet called as he and the other autobots shifted forms and readied themselves.

"Psh," Starscream scoffed. "You autobots aren't worth our time." He looked over to Blitzwing and motioned for him to follow. "Let's go." Blitzwing nodded and shifted to his jet form, Starscream pausing and looking at me with an intense glare. "Next time, Enigma, you won't get away so easily." The pair took to the skies and left us behind.

"You okay, kid?" Ratchet asked.

"I... I don't know." I said with a souring look.

"Let's get you out of the cold." He said. I nodded and followed the medic and autobots back to the main road, a question that had been tugging at me for a while, finally surfacing.

"Ratchet?" I asked.

"Hm?"

"Who... who was Enigma?"

Oh my god I just NOW realized the implications of that one call where Saeyoung talks about how the sky is there but nobody ever really looks at it. I have played this game for five years and heard that call a million times by now. There are so many things in this game that seem inconspicuous until you play Saeyoung’s route

That's one of the reasons why I would suggest playing the game in a certain order if you are here to figure out the lore! If your goal is to see how the story plays out from knowing absolutely nothing to seeing all of the information then I’d suggest this order:

Jaehee > Zen > Yoosung > Jumin > Seven > Secret Ending > V > Ray > Rika Behind > V After Ending > Saeran After Ending.  

The April Fools DLC and the Christmas DLC can be played anytime during your playthrough of Casual and Deep Routes, though, I would suggest having played Zen's Route for the April Fools DLC since that is for his birthday! The Christmas DLC can be played after playing at least one route of the regular game, but if I were going to tell anyone to play it, I'd say wait until you finish Seven's Route on my little guide. Valentine's DLCs are accessible after you finish Good Endings, so you can enjoy those whenever!

💅🏻 ~Manicure Monday~ 💅🏻

Hi everyone! In my last post, I mentioned that I was going to wear my green and blue glitter for Easter… but I changed my mind. This year for Easter, I decided to try a skittle manicure which is when each nail is a different color. I’ve never done one before, but I saw a really pretty one with pastel colors on Instagram that I wanted to replicate. And I love how it came out!

Doing a skittle manicure is fun, but it takes longer than regular ones because you have to keep switching bottles as well as putting two coats of polish on each nail. With all the extra movement, there is more potential for mistakes so I discovered that you have to be very careful. I didn’t keep the bottles too close to the space where I was painting so I wouldn’t accidentally smudge any of my nails on them. All the polishes I used are OPI crèmes, and I’ll talk a little bit about each one.

💛 Blinded by the Ring Light: I already reviewed this one last year. You can read about it here! I only used two coats this time, but I can still see some of my nails underneath it, so three would be better.

💚 How Does Your Zen Garden Grow?: I’ve already reviewed this polish before, too. You can read about it here! It wasn’t the same green they used in the example I saw, but it was close. The one they wore is called That’s Hula-rious! which is a bit lighter and more of a mint green.

🩵 Gelato on My Mind: I reviewed this one last year as well. You can read about it here! I would say the formula of this one was the thinnest out of all five, so you don’t need to put a lot on the brush and you don’t want to get too close to your cuticles with it. This one wasn’t the same blue they used in the post either, but it’s very close. The one they wore is called It’s A Boy! which is a sky blue that would also work very well for this.

💜 Polly Want a Lacquer?: I just happened to order this polish the day before I saw the post where they were wearing the exact same one! It’s from the Fiji Collection that came out for Spring/Summer 2017. It’s a beautiful lavender that does not lean towards blue or gray like some purples do. I considered getting Do You Lilac It? when I was looking for a light purple, but the color of that one is a little darker. The first coat was streaky and patchy just like the other three colors, but the second coat evened it out nicely.

🩷 Mod About You: Believe it or not, I didn’t have a pastel pink crème already! I have a pretty pink that’s a shimmer, but I thought it would have looked silly being the only shimmery nail when the rest were crèmes. In my opinion, skittle manis would look best when all five polishes have the same type of finish. People rave about this color, so I decided to try it. When I saw it in person, I thought it looked too pale, but I bought it anyway. I like it better on my nails than I do in the bottle, so I’m glad I did. A lot of pastels have thin formulas that require two coats because the color is so light, but this one was opaque with one coat. In fact, it was the only one that was out of all five polishes. The color is very sweet and feminine. It was originally released with the Brighter by the Dozen collection in Summer 2006, and now it’s one of their core colors. I can see why!

So, there you have it! I would definitely like to wear the purple and pink polishes by themselves sometime, since this was the first time I wore them and they are only on two nails. They are both lovely colors for the springtime, and so are the other three. I can’t even pick a favorite because I love them all!

"LEON! DARNIT!! P-PUT ME DOWN!!"

"After you almost tripped and fell down that big flight of stairs? I-I think this is safer for now."

There really wasn't any large crowds to worry about anymore when Leonn bridal style carried you out of the hotel's lobby and towards the flying taxi with Silver and Zen still right behind you. Your hands gripping onto the front of his suit as he held you close to his chest also red faced but he tried not to make this a big deal. Just be casual. Oh. But why was he currently carrying you you ask? Simple. You kept tripping over the heels Nessa forced you to wear in the hall and after the fifth time you really slipped and, if it weren't thanks to him who grabbed you in time, almost tripped and would've went right down a long flight of stairs. You were NEVER wearing heels again after this night. Leonn then took it upon himself to pick you up bridal style and carry you the rest of the way into the taxi and placed you gently in the seat like some prince in a fairytale before sitting down himself and your pokemon came clambering in only to sit down next to you and the taxi took off. The sun was starting to go into the final stages of the sunset as you all flew across the sky in silence. Both of you awkwardly sitting there with only Silver's curious noises looking out the window. Neither making eye contact and just sitting there..before you managed to finally spit something out. You inhaled. OK! C'MON! NOW WAS YOUR CHANCE TO TALK TO HIM FINALLY!! With another inhale you turned your head to his head face.

You cleared his throat catching his attention as he turned to you. "So..W-Where are we going?" It felt awkward so it was probably best to start with an ice breaker to clear the air.

"Huh- OH! *ahem* Prince Lear's going away party. Him and his crew leave tomorrow morning. You doing ok there?" He asked gesturing towards your feet. What was he- Oh! Those darn heels.

"Ah." You sighed and nodded. "Honestly I can't even walk in these let along dance. But I can't wait for all the food. I'm so hungry I can eat a whole inteleon." Silver gave an undignified nose shooting you a look. "No offense."

"Hey. A healthy appetite's nothing to shame over." He finally gave one of his usual bright smiles.

"Hehe. Thanks. But you still didn't tell me where we're going?"

"The Pechette Rose. It's got excellent ratings and I've been there before a few times for big events. The prices are high but the food IS actually really good," he assured you, "But don't worry, you won't have to pay for anything since the party's been paid for in advance and you're obviously a guest! But I recommend the steak if you're hungry enough. They're to die for! Oh! You should totally try their dynamax curry! You'd love it!"

Your brow rose. "Dynamax curry? Never had it." You did hear about it once however when Gloria was finishing her curry dex. But that was besides the point. Right now there was no distractions and you were high enough for no one to take Leon's attention. You needed to talk about this now before he could get distracted at the party. "Leon. On the topic, I really REALLY do need to talk to you about something."

He seemed to blink for a second before nodding. "Yeah. I've noticed you've been trying to talk to me. What's up?"

You persed your lips into a straight line. Was this a good idea? It might break his heart but it wouldn't be fair to fake this even if you were planning on just turning him down nicely after this 'date' but it was now or never. With a deep inhale you let it out slowly. Well..it was better to break the news to him now than string him along.

"Um...Do you remember that day when you first gave me the envelope? A-And what we talked about?"

He lit up beaming again. "Of course I do! I was really relieved when you took it so well! I was really worried over nothing huh?"

You hissed through clenched teeth. "Yyyyyeah. Um. Well about that-...Ahaha. It's a funny story actually. But Uh-...I didn't actually know you were confessing your feelings to me."

There was a silence that followed as Leon continued to stare at you and you winced as he just....sat there for a long silent moment. ".....Come again?"

"Arceus Lee! Don't make me repeat myself! I had no idea you liked me before now!"

"WHAT!?" He finally snapped out of it eyes going small and a look of panic dawning his face. "But I-...Y-Y-You weren't mad when I brought it up!"

"I thought you were just apologizing for that accident last year on Christmas and that you were worried I was made and you were embarrassed over it!"

"B-B-But you said Victor already told you about me liking you!"

"He did tell me you liked me!"

A record scratch went off in his head. "HE DID!?"

You nodded. "B-B-But I thought he was just messing with me or blown things out of proportion! I thought you KNEW he told me! That's why I wasn't freaked out. A-And again I just thought you were apologizing for it!"

He looked absolutely panicked now. "B-But we were on the same page!"

"I thought so too but clearly we were thinking different things!"

"B-But-..Uh-" He looked down for a moment his hands coming to grip his head. ".....Then why did you agree to go on a date with me then!?"

"Because I DIDN'T KNOW it was a date until you told me it was!," you defended yourself also looking horrified meanwhile Silver and Zen were looking back and forth between you two as you talked. "I thought you just inviting me as your plus one! AS. A. FRIEND!!!"

"But then..." he slowly looked to you completely lost. "B-B-But then why did you kiss me the other day?"

"Because I-..." You again hesitated before taking a shaky breath and just saying it. "I was afraid of those two Hairbrained weridos were going to try to flirt with me again, so I panicked and thought that if they saw me kiss you then they'd leave me alone. I'm-....I'm sorry. I tried to tell you but you were always busy."

"So what was the point of telling me this now!?"

"Because I didn't want to lie to you Leon!?," you blurted out making him blink at your unusually loud tone, "I-I mean-...Technically I DIDN'T lie because I thought you were talking about something else but I didn't want you to misunderstand what I meant and thought. Darn it all to Arceus, Leon." Your hands met your head as you groaned. "I didn't want to lead you on or anything like that. ..Yeah that kiss on the cheek was my idea and it was stupid and I am so sorry for that, but I'm not going to lie to a friend. Especially since you're really a good guy."

There was silence again and you didn't look up. Leon didn't say anything and neither did either of your pokemon as they just sat there quiet as well. You guessed even they could pick up on the awkwardness of the situation as well. For a good ten minutes there was nothing but quiet with the exception of the corviknight's wingbeats until Leon finally spoke again.

"Well-...I will admit you didn't lie. I-I can't say your honest wasn't with good intentions...Guess this means you wouldn't have wanted to go out with me really."

"What?" You finally looked up from your hands surprised as he looked totally looked disheartened at nothing. "No. I wouldn't say I wouldn't want to."

he again paused, before whipping his head to you again surprised. "I-..W-What!? Y-You mean if I did really ask you, y-you w-w-would've-"

You nodded. "Yeah. I probably would've said yes." Actually you didn't know if you would've or not but you thought right now he's been hurt enough. With a small smile you tried to make him feel better. "I'd..Still like to go on a date with you if you still want t-"

"YES!!," he quickly blurted out making you blink before he suddenly held up his hands, "I-I mean y-yes. I-I'd still like t-t-to. B-But-..Maybe not k-kiss me again if you're feeling like you're getting unwanted advances. J-Just t-tell me if you're feeling uncomfortable."

You nodded. "Yeah! I'll to that. Again sorry. But.." You slowly reached over and Leon blinked when you grabbed his hand. "I'd still very much like that date." Your face lit up a pink as you smiled. "I wasn't lying when I said you were a really great guy."

At this his gold eyes went wide looking between his hand and your face, and then his face went a deep red again and he looked away but didn't remove your hand from his. In fact he curled his hand around yours as he sheepishly nodded.

"Ye-Yeah. I-I-I'm happy to hear that. Ahehe. W-Well I'm g-glad we're on the sa-same page now at least."

You chuckled. "Y'know. You do look cute when you're blushing.~"

That made him give off another choke sound and look away from you as you chuckled at his reaction. Well..it was a relief to finally get that off your chest but you were still stuck in a first date with him. Oh well. It's not like it'll be the worst date and Leon WAS a good person. And you were going to a five star restaurant huh? That possibly meant juicy steaks, a hundred different desserts, and all kinds of other foods you'd never had before Actually you didn't have a whole lot of foods outside leftovers, instant ramen, and cereal growing up thanks to your cheapskate mother but that just made this all the better. Right? The ride there was short of nerves and anticipation. The sunset turning into night and the twinkling of the city lights beneath you two shone out making Silver look out the window in fascination before you both finally descended and you hung on tightly out of instinct. Arceus you HATED flying!! He was first out as you struggled to stand up in your heels and he opened the door for you, and then held out his arms once you struggled up and managed to stand in the doorway of the taxi where Leonn caught you under the arms and lifted you down to the ground earning him a thanks in return. When you finally turned around you were certainly met with a sight. Standing before you was a massive stone white marble building that looked like a cross between the Notre dame cathedral and a rich person's mansion, and I mean WHITE white. So bright white they must've constantly washed the outside or something because the moonlight practically reflected off it making it look glowing despite the multicolored light pouring out from the stained glass windows which depicted images of pokemon and scenes right out of a storybook. Giant grand double doors made of polished wood and polished silver knobs awaited you up a small flight of stairs leading to them. Oh. Did I also mention the yard or silk red carpet leading up to it? Because there was a neatly trimmed green yard full of all kinds of flowers and blooming bushes following a long red carpet to said double doors and two doormen wearing prim black and white tuxes. You stared up wide eyed before looking at Leon who seemed unimpressed by it all before looking at you and shrugging. What was more embarrassing still was that you had to literally cling to his arm and allow him to wrap his arms around you to keep you from literally falling over your own two feet. Silver looking around half amazed half bored but following you both none the less. The doormen opening the doors of course and finally letting you walk into the place. Still more white everywhere minus the fancy artwork on the walls and stain glass windows. The red carpet split off into different directions as there was more entry ways including a flight of stairs that went upwards in a half circle style. With what must've been a LOT of staff constantly running around with things in their arms all primly dressed up and their must've been a crystal chandelier every five yards or so on the ceiling. After a moment or two you all was approached by a butler looking man in a suit who then started escorting your slow walking mess to the proper way to this ballroom he spoke of. Oh you hoped you didn't trip and smear your make up. There was one thing that pulled your attention away from Leon however. The distant noises of crowd chatter and light classical music which got louder and louder until you came across another pair of double doors and they were opened and you were lead into the BIGGEST single room you had ever been inside. The ceiling as high as two a two floor house, white everywhere, more chandeliers that reflected in the shiny polished floor, tens of tables and chairs all white themed, a small elevated stage where the music was coming from, and a lllloooonngggg table chalk FULL of food!! Oh. That explains the delicious smells. But there was also a LOT more people than you expected. Instantly you spotted people you knew. There was Ms. Opal over there, and- HEY! There was Gloria chatting away to Hop also in a fancy looking clothes. Guess everyone was here along with a LOT of other people in fancy clothes. Who the heck were they? Once or twice you'd see one with a camera or a notepad writing on it every so while. You did point it out to Leon who again shrugged it off saying they were most likely news people, security, or just businessmen wanting to establish business deals with Pasio. Ah. Made sense. You were finally able to sit town when he chose a table right by a corner here there wasn't a whole lot of people and pulled out a chair for you before able to plop yourself down in it. Your feet were KILLING you-

"How are you feelin'?'', he asked you gently placing a hand on your shoulder.

"Miserable. My feet feel like I hiked a million miles across legos."

"....Legos?"

"Uh..Nevermind. I'll be fine if I don't walk around too much...Oh jeez. I guess that means no food-"

"I get it for you no problem!"

You blinked up at him before holding up your hands. "Lee. No." You shook your head. "I'm not going to make you be my waiter on top of a forklift."

"And watch you struggle until you fall over and get hurt again?" ...Oh..Well you guessed that was a fair enough point. It would be a bad thing if you fell in front of everyone. He patted your shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll be right back. Stay here and off your feel for a bit. It'll be alright."

"Oh alright."

He gave a small smile before turning and wondering off towards the direction of the food table and left you sitting there to relax and groan in your chair to rest your feet. Oh boy. You should've put your foot down when Nessa slapped these shoes on your feet. ....Speaking of which where was Silver and Zen? A quick look around held no sight of said Inteleon or Zangoose. Where did they go? That questioned was answered a moment later when someone sat down next to you which was Silver with a plate full of food and a pleased look on his face and Zen was just slumped across the table. Which you smiled at.

"Have enough food?"

"INTA!"

Grabbing a fork and knife next to him, Silver began to dig in and eat his food. You could only sit there and watch as he ate the food your own stomach rumbled. More time passed and eventually you did look around as Silver continued to eat. Where WAS the Champion? It's been like fifthteen minutes now. Surely unless there was a long line for food it shouldn't take this long. You felt eyes on you again and you looked forward with a smile...which was instantly gone in a moment. There was indeed someone standing in front of you at the table, but it wasn't who you were hoping for. Purple eyes shaded by red sunglasses met you. Accompanied by a man in a suit with grey hair with two familiar looking body guards behind him. ..Oh no. OH NO!! MAN YOU COULD NEVER GET A BREAK-

"Good Evening, My Lady," Prince Lear spoke in a slightly charming voice which sent shivers down your spine. One hand on his chest the other behind his back as he bowed to you. FRICK YOUR LIFE- "I actually wasn't expecting to see you here tonight, but I happened to see you while walking past." Oh lovely- He gestured to the chair in front of you. "Would you mind if I sit down?"

"Uuuuhhh-" Great! You couldn't catch a break could you? Seriously. WHERE WAS LEE!? You shook your head and in the most politest voice you could muster answered back. "Um. Sorry. But I'm saving that spot for someone."

That seemed to get him taken a back. "Oh?"

"My date," you clarified which made him blink fully behind the glasses. "He went to grab something and I'm waiting for him to came back."

"Oh...I see." he slowly leaned back up and stared at you for a moment. "Well who is he? I think it's hardly appropriate to keep a lady waiting and I-" He paused for a moment looking towards Silver using a knife and fork and Zen boredly looking at him. "I- Uh.....'' He went quiet for a moment before pointing at Silver. "Is that Inteleon using utensils?...And is that Zangoose sitting at the table?"

You blinked looking at Silver cutting a piece of cake with a knife before using a fork to bring it to his mouth. "Uh..Yeah. Why?"

"A pokemon shouldn't be doing that," he spoke back in that monotone voice his noise scrunching up in a way that made you raise a brow. "He's eating like he's a human and they're acting like humans...That's outrageous! What master trained him to do that?"

....

"Their name's Silver Veil and Zen." He looked at you. You deadpanned looked back up at him look now uninterested in anything he had to say. "And they just so happen to be mine."

Prince Lear went silent for the longest time, looking between you and them several times before finally being able to speak. "Yours?" You nodded. "You taught them to do that?"

"I didn't teach them anything. He probably just watched other people do it and just copied it."

"And you allow these-" He gave another look. "-pokemon to do that?"

"Why not? They're not hurting anyone. If he's not causing trouble for anyone why should I worry about it?"

Prince Lear opened his mouth and closed it looking between you and them probably not expecting that kind of response. You just sat there totally checked out from this conversation. This moment spoke a LOT about this guy's character. Seriously where was LEON!? He should've been back a long time ago. You looked around again but still no signs of the tall man anywhere-

"Ladies and Gentlemen," a woman's voice spoke from the elevated stage over towards the other side of the room, "Thank you all for coming tonight. It's been an honor to host you all for the evening. Even more so with such fantastic guests. It is my honor to introduce a very special performance tonight for you all of you tonight. Please give a big hand to our own King. Of rock that is. Mr. Piers."

Your head still looked around for any signs of Leon anywhere but you couldn't make him out in this big crowd of people. Where did he go!?

"Let it out!~ Been buildin' up!~ Ya better let it out.~ Say everything you've been meaning now!~ I want it ta burn!~," Piers began singing to the more gentle rock music, he must've been singing for the event, "When you tell me m' such a wreck it isn't easy cleaning up your mess.~ It's like I got a rope 'round my neck.~ She says it won't hurt.~ But everythin' ya do makes my heart race!~ I can't even think straight!~ Is this jus' a game to you?~ Reruns every night!~ It's always the same fight an' I think you should know!~ I hate your touch!~ I hate your mouth!~ I can't stand every single word that comes out!~ But you're all that I've been dreamin' of!~ This is not 'nother sonng 'bout love!~ I hate your voice!~ I hate your lips!~ I hate how bad I wanna steal your kiss!~ But you're all I've been dreamin' of!~ This is not 'nother song about love!~"

"Ah. It seems as if they're finally starting the first dance of the night." Lear was finally able to find his voice again before turning to you again and bowed again and held out a hand to you. "May I have this dance?"

"Uh...I don't know. My date could still come back any minute." That and your feet STILL ached from your stupid heels. "And it'd be rude to just leave him hanging."

"Oh. Well it only seems fair since he did the same. You should never leave a lady waiting.~"

Your nose wrinkled up a little bit. This guy wasn't taking the hint huh? You were this close to telling him to screw off with movement behind him across the room of red and blue. OH NO!! Not them again! It was the weird hair duo again and you could see them between the people already heading to the dance floor with their dance partners of choice for the song. What were they doing here!?..Well they did sponsor the events for the Prince you wouldn't be surprised if those two also paid for this entire venue plus the accommodations' extras. They were not so discreetly looking between themselves, you, and the dance floor and it wasn't rocket science to know what they were thinking. Luckily you had an escape route right in front of you. Forcing a smile, Prince Lear jumped slightly from the speed and force you grabbed his hand, and although it still hurt slightly forced yourself onto your feet.

"On second thought, Your Highness I would absolutely LOVE to dance with you!"

He blinked for a moment before smiling proud of himself. "Naturally. All ladies love a dance with Prince Lear." His other hand snapped. "Rachel. Sawyer. Grab refreshments for myself after the dance. I shouldn't be long."

"Silver, Zen, stay here. I'll be right back."

Well at least it wouldn't take too long. You winced on the inside as you allowed him to walk you away from your table. Each step feeling like you were walking on legos agonizingly slowly and you prayed to Arceus himself that he would answer your prayers once again and not fall during this dance. Since you...well never danced before. Boy if there was any point in your life you'd need Arceus it'd be now. You could feel someone glaring daggers in your direction as Prince Lear made his way to the dancefloor surrounded by other couples and forced you into the dancing position of one hand holding your hand and hip. Arceus please help!

"Asphyxiated jus' ta say the least!~ And with you're eyes you're sufficatin' me!~ Emptied my lungs!~ It's gettin' hard to breath!~ You couldn't care less.~ But everything ya do makes my heart race!~ I can't even think straight!~ Is this jus' a game to you?~ Reruns every night.~ It's always the same fight n' I think you should know.~ I HATE your touch!~ I HATE your mouth!~ I CAN'T STAND every single word that falls out!~ But you're all I've been dreamin' of!~ This 's not another song 'bout love!~ I HATE your voice!~ I HATE your lips!~ I HATE how bad I wanna steal your kiss!~ But you're all I've been dreamin' of!~ This is NOT another song about love!~"

Arceus blessed you! Despite the more rock style of the song, Prince Lear preferred to slow dance which was both painful and good because it meant you could just waddle-rock from side to side enough to pass as dancing and not trip aside from how much your feet ached. Now only if you didn't just have to plaster a fake smile as he stared holes into your face.

"The sky fades from blue to gray!~ Her touch is jus' like an ocean!~ Still m' drowining!~ How bad I wanna sink an' let it take me away!~ I don't know why I come back!~ I do every time!~ We get close to the end!~ It's the finish line!~ Sing these words for the girl I've been dreamin' of!~ Is this jus' another song 'bout love?~ Let it out!~ Been building up.~ I better let it out.~ Say everything I've been meanin' now.~ Dreamin' 'bout.~ I mean it now.~ I NEED IT NOW!~" You blinked up towards the stage and blue eyes met f/c ones. "I NEED your touch.~ I have NO doubt.~ I WANT your love 'til it all runs out.~ Cause YOU'RE all I've been dreamin' of!~ Is this jus' 'nother song about love?~ I NEED your voice!~ I NEED your lips!~ I NEED you bad!~ I WANNA steal your kiss!~ Cause YOU'RE all I've been dreamin' of!~ This is jus' another song about love!~"

As the song ended there was a small round of applause from a few tables sitting next to the stage and a few people who still stood by said stage to watch the performance up close and stood staring at you for a moment until you stopped. Prince Lear jolted a bit from your sudden stop.

"Thank you for that stunning performance, Mr. Piers. Now please welcome the band Shinx Whiskers with their number Waltzen Du Pika."

"Is something wrong?"

"Huh?" You blinked back at the prince before blinking and clearing your throat. Removing your hands from him and taking a step back. "No. But the song is over."

"Oh..But the next song is starting."

"Yes but your ..people is probably waiting for you." Before he could answer you quickly bowed slightly and turned around and as fast as your hurt feet could carry you began walking off. "Well thanks for the dance! I gotta go see if my date's back now!"

Luckily he didn't follow you but it was probably better to get back to your table to wait for Piers and let yourself rest again. Hopefully Prince 'Charming' won't ask for another one. As you walked through the crowds you searched for the table with an Inteleon sitting at it also keeping an eye out for that Prince and weird hair duo less they ask you for a another dance. You could tolerate dancing with that Prince but you were sure as ARCEUS NOT GONNA DANCE WITH THE GRUESOME TWOSOME!! ...But leave it too your luck to get yourself lost in the crowd. The music of the giant ballroom gently flowed throughout and between the beautiful decorations wrapped around the walls. The way the candles lit up the surroundings and made the shadows beautifully dance against the walls. The way the smell of delicious food and flowers wafted through the air. The beautiful music mixing with the laughter and talking of the guests around the whole place. It was almost like a dream. Everyone having a great time. But maybe you wasn't meant to join the fun and laughter that everyone else seemed to be having. Being alone wondering the ballroom was the lonely fate of the girl in the flowing purple dress. Blindly walking and circles, moving around. The sounds, the smells, the atmosphere. It was starting to make her dizzy. Everyway she'd turn she would catch a glimpse of a man with gold eyes. Very familiar blue eyes. Her dizzied mind knew not to be afraid or excited about the way it gazed and pierced her soul. The way he looked at her with those beautiful eyes. Promising only trouble ahead. Well maybe she was looking for trouble, her head was kept on a swivel, always looking around herself in the see of masked laughter. Sometimes she'd catch a glimpse of gold or maybe it was just her clouded emotional mind. At this point she didn't know if she was searching for him or trying to ensure she was far from him. But however she put it, the circles and laughter was starting to get dizzier and dizzier. She barely noticed when someone tall bowed to her. Grabbed her hand. And lead her to dance. Maybe it was because she was temporarily blinded by his face, or the swirls of the graceful dance they spun. But there was no mistaking those blue eyes. Perhaps she was crazy. Perhaps her dizzy mind was clouding any judgement. Maybe she was under some kind of spell from those ocean eyes. But when he smiled at her she smiled back. There was Leon! He was making his way past a few people waving a hand out to you smiling and you started towards him too. But as usual things just couldnt be easy for you. Because just as you were heading on over towards Leon, you were slowed because of the heels making you wobble and your feet hurt, so it didn't take much for two people to easily blocked by two similar looking figures with giant ha-

OH NO!!

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Ms. Y/n!"

"Indeed! We've been trying to catch you all night!"

You stopped in your tracks wobbling about and holding your arms out for balance on these darn heels as none other than Sordward and Shielbert phantomed in front of you. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!? But behind them Leon stopped and blinked also surprised...Before frowning and continuing his way over towards you all.

You visibly frowned at both of them before crossing your arm in order to keep them from grabbing your hands again. "Oh it's you two. What are you doing here?"

"We sponsored this party as well as the events to show our apologies and thus have the right to attend," Shielbert explained.

"Indeed and we so nobly stood by and let the Prince have the first dance with the fairest lady at the ball and now I have finally have the chance to have the second dance with you," Shielbert added.

"I think you're mistaken, Younger Brother. As it is I who shall have the second dance of the night with Ms. Y/n-"

"Actually-" A deeper voice startled the both of them into looking behind them and up at Leon who forced a smile but was clearly annoyed at them. "I'm going to be her second and last dance for the night as she is my date." Both brothers looked at each other- "Excuse me, Gentlemen." he pushed past the two and gently put his arm around you. "I thank you for keeping Y/n company but I think I've waisted her time long enough. C'mon. Let's go dance. I like this band." Despite the pain and wobble in your steps you happily allowed Leon to turn you around and lead you back to the dance floor.

"It's about time you saved me." You happily accepted the second dance from the man in front of you breathing a sigh of relief from your throat. Despite your feet hurting you would allow this one dance. "Where did you go? I had to placate Prince Charming and run away from two twin trolls."

"Haha. Sorry about that!" Leon apologized already slowly walking you through the classical sounding music. "I ran into some reporters who wouldn't let me go and then when I got back you were gone. Took me a while to find you again."

"Hey. It's fine." You smiled. "Better late than never right?"

He continued to stare at you, body on autopilot for a long moment before a relieved laugh escaped his mouth. You blinked. He had leaned forward and he pressed his forehead on your forehead as he used his taller height to his advantage and pressed your foreheads together as you slow danced. A smile dancing on his face to match his steps. Making your face go a bright red from how close he was to you again.

"How did I get lucky to convince someone like you to give me a chance?"

You mimicked a goldfish for the better part of a minute before finally talking. "You can thank the sky dropping me into a corviknight nest for that."

"..What?"

"Nevermind. I'm just glad you were able to save me back there."

"Of course! Besides. I was right when I said you'd be my dance partner for the night.." He blinked smile going to a worried frown for a moment. "But this is o-ok right?..Being this close to you? I want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding anything else."

You blinked at him for a moment before chuckling at the sweet sentiment. Aw. He was so sweet sometimes. "It's perfectly fine..Uh. But there's one thing you should know."

"What?"

"I lost feeling in my feet and my legs are about to give out."

As soon as you said that you staggered a bit, thankfully Leon grabbed you in an instant and pulled you to him. "Whoa there! Sheesh. I guess you weren't kidding about those shoes actually hurting huh?"

"What do YOU think?"

"Um...Do you just want to go and get something to eat now?"

You nodded. "Yeah. Yeah. Food's good."

The rest of the night was thankfully uneventful. With help from him you managed to get back to the table and the reason you got lost after your first dance was because Silver left the table to get another plate of food he was currently eating and Zen was now laying under the table. You had passed this table twice trying to get back to it. You two had talked, gotten some food, and ended up holding hands across the table. It all ended however when Hop came to Leon tired and you all decided it was probably time to go. It was getting late anyways and the faster you got back to your hotel room the faster these shoes come off. It was a blur back to the hotel except that Leon had to help you back out of the taxi and walk back to your room (you absolutely REFUSED to be carried again) where you gave him a small smile as thanks in your doorway.

"Thanks for the fun night. It wasn't as nervewracking as I thought it'd be. And thanks for walking me back. I can take it from here."

He chuckled hand rubbing his neck. Hop yawned tiredly next to him. "Yeah. I-I thought it was good too. For my first date it wasn't bad either. I really had fun spending time w-w-with you. ....M-maybe we can do this together again sometime?"

You nodded also nodding. "Sure. I wouldn't mind but I think I want to get some sleep for now. It's late."

He nodded. "Oh. Y-yeah. I should get Hoppy to bed too. G-Goodnight Y/n."

"Good night, Leon. Good night, Hop."

You closed the door and Leon sighed happily smiling to himself before turning to Hop and pausing as his little brother stared wide eyed at him.

"You went on a date with Y/n!?" He gasped in shock for a second before smiling widely like he just discovered a new pokemon fact no one else did. "Does this mean I'm going to get a big sister!? How long has this been going on!? Wait until Mum hears the good news!!"

"I-I-I can explain I swear!"

-One Month Later-

Things were back to normal. Or as normal as you could get them around this place. Prince Lear had been seen back off to Pasio by the Chairwoman and Leon, and you said goodbye to your friends before leaving early in the morning with Sonia and Hop. You tried to give the entire outfit and accessories back to Nessa before you left but she refused saying you could keep them. Well you didn't mind having one fancy outfit but you absolutely REFUSED to keep the shoes leaving them with her. No more heels. Never again. But other than that everything seemed to be totally normal. You were back to working at the store, and fixing up your new home. Sonia and Hop continued with their research and you still got visits from them from time to time especially since Christmas was coming up. Leon came home to visit for the holidays as did Gloria and Victor! It was almost a month after the prince left and with two weeks left til Christmas it was looking up to be nice. He had told everyone he would tell everyone his choices if he made any in a month's time but Leon didn't think much of it. He was too busy being happy and helping with the preparations for Christmas now that he's finally gotten some time off for the holidays. So he didn't pay much attention when Hop brought in the mail from today. He was too busy going through an old box of ornaments he brought out from the shed.

he walked up to him with a serious face and smile with an official envelope opened in his hands. "LEE!! You need to hear this."

"What's wrong, Hoppy? Did Sonia give you a hard task again?"

"Leon." He held up the formal official document to him. "This is an official league document from the Chairwoman."

"Uh huh."

"...It's okaying our transfers over regions."

Leon paused and he slowly looked up to Hop. "It's okaying my transfer to where?"

His response was to turn the paper around with the official seal and the fancy writing and held it up to his blinking face. "It's okaying our temporary transfer to the Pasio Region! We've been chosen to compete in the Masters League!"
