#armour of Yah

[shpendizenki]

Ephesians 6 is a chapter in the New Testament book of Ephesians, in which the Apostle Paul writes about the spiritual armor that believers in Yeshua should put on to stand firm against the devil's schemes. The chapter begins with a call for believers to put on the whole armor of YHWH, including the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the readiness given by the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the RUACH, which is the word of YHWH. In this chapter, Paul is calling on the believers in Ephesus, and all believers in Yeshua to answer the call of His majesty by putting on the full armor of YHWH so that they may be able to withstand the devil's schemes. He is reminding them that their struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms, and that they need to be equipped for this spiritual warfare. In addition, Paul is emphasizing that the source of their strength and victory is from YHWH, and not from their own abilities or efforts. He is encouraging them to put their trust in YHWH and His power, and to rely on Him for the strength and protection they need to stand firm in their faith. Therefore, Ephesians 6 is a call to believers to be spiritually equipped and be ready to face the spiritual battles that come their way, and to rely on YHWH's strength and protection to overcome them.

x. heeseung's firsts (1.99k written)

heeseung remembers it like it was just yesterday.

it was the second year of high school and apparently a new girl had just moved to this school —this city, even— and into his class. he watched as your teacher introduced you to the class and if he never believed in love at first sight before that day, he then did for the first time ever.

"hello, i'm jung y/n. i just moved here, please be nice to me. i hope we can be friends," you shyly introduced yourself and everyone welcomed you warmly. your teacher was about to say something before someone else had cut her off.

"y/n? is that really you?" you look up from your fiddling hands to find the source of the voice. a bright smile fell upon your lips and heeseung melted at the sight.

"jay?!"

heeseung didn't know who 'jay' was but he watched as his friend, jongseong, nodded excitedly, mirroring the smile on your pretty face. so he's jay. funny how they've been friends for a year yet he never knew jongseong had an english name.

your teacher smiled at this interaction. "well, it seems you know her already, jongseong. you can show her around so she can settle down easy. y/n, you can go ahead and sit next to him,"

he watched as you smiled timidly at everyone you passed by on your way to jay's desk. his heart stopped when you smiled at him before sitting next to your friend, sharing a quick side hug before paying attention to the class.

-

"hey, new girl!" you hear as you walked through the fairly empty hallway during lunch. you turn to see a group of girls leaning against the lockers, scowling. you notice they were one of the less friendly ones in homeroom.

ah, crap.

it was lunch and you were coming from physics class while jay had biology. the plan was to meet at the cafeteria. you were hoping to have a peaceful first day at your new school but it seems these girls had other plans for you.

"how do you know jongseong oppa?!" one of the girls questioned, roughly shoving you against the lockers. it's funny they call him that because you remember your homeroom teacher mentioning you being the only one in your class to jump a grade.

"we grew up together," you answer with a blank stare, not knowing what reason they had to even ask that.

"yah! what's with that face?! you got a problem, little girl?!" you frown when another girl grabs your face. you try to push her off but as quick as that hand had grabbed you, it was quick to disappear as well.

you look up, confused when you see a guy standing between you and the girls. it's jay's friend. you remember jay introducing you two before you two parted ways for science.

"what are you doing to her?" you felt shivers down your spine when he spoke. he sounded so cold that you did not want to be on the receiving end of it.

"oppa! w–we were just getting to know her!" one of the girls lied, voice way too high pitched to even pass off as natural.

"didn't look like it," he answered sharply. "next time i catch you guys pulling a stunt like this to anyone, see what happens. let's go," he gently taps your arm to show that the statement was directed to you before walking off, you following and catching up to walk beside him.

"you didn't have to do that. i could've handled it myself," you told him as you two walked to the cafeteria together. it's true, you weren't some damsel in distress who needs someone to save her every time, you just didn't have time to react before he did. you wonder if he had watched the whole interaction from the beginning or only when the girl touched you.

"sorry, i just hate that girl. she pisses me off so much," he rolls his eyes and you can't help but laugh at him. "well, thanks anyway, my knight in shining armour," you tease him and he groans. "that's probably gonna stick, huh?"

"it is, now let's go, jay's waiting," you link your arm with his and drag him along with you to the cafeteria where your childhood friend was waiting.

-

first love. that's what you were to lee heeseung; his first love.

at age 17, he first learned what it means to have romantic feelings. he found out that he liked the feeling. it didn't matter to him if you reciprocated or not, as long as you were happy, he was happy too.

he didn't mind watching you reminisce the past with jongseong or laugh at silly little inside jokes you had with the american. he enjoyed seeing the smile on your face and if jongseong was the reason behind it every time, so be it.

love was foolish, but God, did loving you feel so good.

at age 17, he first learned what it means to be selfless. it wasn't that he had been selfish all his life, but to be selfless is to put others before him. to put your happiness before his.

being friends with you was the best thing he had ever done in his 17 years of life. he had never met anyone so caring, so understanding and so pure. it was like heaven lost an angel and she landed in his school that first day you appeared.

but you can't blame him for wanting more.

often, he would lose himself in thoughts of what it would be like if he could finally call you his. if he could carry your bag for you as the three of you walked home together. what would it be like if that teokbokki you were chewing on right now was fed by him, and not jongseong?

right, jongseong.

he watched as the boy wipes a napkin on the side of your mouth, you only grinning at him as you continue eating. he looks away and down at his own plate, mindlessly poking his food as a bitter smile grazes his lips.

you'd be happier with him.

at age 18, heeseung finally learns to not be afraid of taking chances. it was their final year of high school and things were getting more real with discussions of college and graduating. it was now or never for the boy and although he was scared shitless, he did it anyway.

he asked you out.

at age 18, heeseung finally learns what it means to finally call you his.

and so the year passes by with the three of you maintaining the same dynamic that it's been since the start. surprisingly, nothing much changed despite you and heeseung dating. he couldn't believe you even liked him back.

you and jongseong were still close as ever, attached at the hip as everyone says. people would never believe when you tell them you have a boyfriend and it's not jongseong. and if those comments bothered heeseung, he would never mention it to you.

everything was comfortable for you and you were very happy. heeseung was amazing and he never complained about anything. even when he was stressed over studies, he never really showed it. so maybe you should've seen it coming.

at age 19, heeseung finally lets it all out. having studied his ass off for college and not getting the results he wanted took a toll. or maybe just his pent up emotions from the past two years.

having to find out he wasn't going to go to the same college as you while jongseong still has the privilege was making him go crazy. at the end of the day,  jongseong always wins. even if he doesn't, he still does in heeseung's eyes.

it was graduation, it was supposed to be a happy day for everyone. except you and heeseung.

"i'm sorry, y/n. i can't do this anymore. i want to break up. i'm tired of being second place to jongseong every time. it's not fair to me," heeseung had told you after bringing you to the rooftop to speak in private.

"what are you talking about, lee heeseung? you're not making any sense," you frown at the older, one hand reaching up to cup his cheek.

his eyes looked tired and you wished that the day would be over quickly so that he could sleep. you've seen how hard he's worked the past few months.

he circles his hand around your wrist and gently pulled it away from his face, trying to keep a steady hold on it but failing as you noticed how extremely shaky his hand was. "what's wrong, hee? can we just talk first?"

"i'm talking right now. and i'm telling you that i want to break up with you," he lets go of your hand and it drops limply by your side. it was then your frown softened and all that's left on your face is a dejected expression.

"but.....why? are you not happy?" the crack in your voice tugs at his heart and all he wants to do is pull you into his arms and tell you that it's all a joke. oh, how he wished everything was just a joke.

at age 19, heeseung finally learns what it means to be selfish. he loved you so much but it was destroying him. he was finally putting himself above others.

"i'm sorry. the past year has been amazing but i can't help but feel like i'm always second to jongseong. it's always 'jongseong this' and 'jongseong that' with you. if you wanted him, you should have never agreed to date me. you played me, jung y/n," heeseung was angry. you've never seen him angry before.

"i didn't play you, heeseung! jongseong's been my best friend since little so of course he's gonna be a big part of my life! believe me, if i wanted him, i would've done something about it a long time ago but i chose you! i love you, lee heeseung. is that so hard to believe?" you were in tears by now but heeseung has had it.

"you sure have a shitty way of showing it," he scoffs. he didn't mean it. he was just angry. he didn't mean it at all. although you were his first ever girlfriend, you were probably the definition of the perfect girlfriend to him.

if only jealousy wasn't a green eyed monster.

seeing the tears falling uncontrollably down your pretty face was pulling at his heartstrings. how are you still so beautiful even like this? he had to stay strong. he was doing this for himself, after all.

maybe he should've listened to the internet when they said trios never work. maybe he should've listened to the voices that told him not to get too close or he'll get hurt. maybe. but if he had, he wouldn't have such fond memories to look back on in the future. maybe in the future, he'll learn that when something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

"i love you, jung y/n. i'm sorry it had to end this way. i hope you have a good life and i hope when we meet again in the future, it'll be under better circumstances," and with that, he walked out the rooftop door and out of your life.

it was then everything finally processed. you break apart in the vast expanse of the rooftop, crying under the darkening sky with such despair your whole body shakes with the violence of each sob.

and if heeseung had stayed by the door, listening to you break down, he would take it to his grave. he wipes his tears away before ultimately leaving despite all the alarms ringing in his head to turn back and engulf you in his arms.

and so at age 19, lee heeseung experienced his first and last ever heartbreak.

Bard- Break Stuff

Number 26 for this post requested by @emily-the-fae

Marking Bard down as both scared and horny

Bard knew of the wilds that existed within Middle Earth and had even heard tales of creatures that lived around the mountains. He had faced orcs and was even the one who killed the dragon Smaug, but the sounds he heard within those mountains were filled with more rage then he’d heard from any beast or warrior.

Rounding a corner the sound seemed to get louder. Grunts and screams echoed across the large walls of the mountain. Quietly rounding another corner he prepared himself to fight.

Suddenly a loud crash made him jump and then a voice behind him, making him whip around.

“Bard?” Came the quizzical voice, then a chuckle at his reaction.

Seeing his puzzled face at the rage filled noise, the king under the mountains smile grew.

“That’s just y/n, a warrior that my sister has seemed to have adopted. Come, I’ll show you.”

Walking closer to the sound of rage seemed like a bad idea, but Bard followed his friend never the less.

As he and the king walked through the wooden door quietly, he saw it was a training area. Casting his eyes in the middle of the room he found it a mess. Swords, shields, axes and training equipment all thrown around, and in the centre was the source of the commotion.

From the sounds he heard he’d think a beast was the source, so looking at you, he could’ve never thought you were actually the cause of such sounds of rage and battle.

Bard didn’t mean to stare, he knew it was rude and honestly feared what you might do if you caught him, but he was absolutely enthralled. Face red, hair sticking to your face with sweat and your chest heaving out in heavy breaths, making your armour jut in and out.

There was something both animalistic and oddly erotic about you that made him unable to turn away.

“Is she okay?” The bowman asked quietly.

Thorin looked up to the man, knowing that look in his eye, seeing it come across many dwarves eyes as they looked at you in your state of battle.

“Yeh, just a bad day.” He shrugged

“I wouldn’t stare like that, Bard. She has a tendency to break the bones of even our mightiest warriors who stare at her like that.”

Finally recognising there was someone in the room your head whips around. Fear is struck in the dragon slayer as you make eye contact.

Staring into his fear filled beautiful brown eyes, your rage seems to morph into something else. A grin growing on your face, you bite your lip and wink at the bowman.

“Who’s our friend, your highness?” You finally speak, making your way over to the pair.

Arousal seems to take over from fear as he watches the way you saunter over to the pair.

“This is Bard.” Thorin answers simply.

“Ah, our saviour. The famous dragon slayer.” You say grinning up at him.

His heart races as you now stand before him. He really shouldn’t feel these feelings of both excitement and fear that he does, but your presence seems to demand it.

“Sorry about such a display, just one of those days, yah know? Maybe next time you can help me out. Might prevent me from breaking so much stuff.” You grin and wink again as you walk off with a laugh.

Thoughts on Fenqing 🐶🐱

Just had this thought that how much physical and mental wounds Fengxin and Mu Qing have given each other. It's hilarious from other's POV to see them childishly arguing and fighting over petty things (which is the truth though ƪ⁠(⁠‾⁠.⁠‾⁠“⁠)⁠┐) , destroying the Heavenly capital and evrything,but jokes apart, their psychology is to hurt and make each other guilty.

Will they also have scars of the physical wounds they have given each other?

Guess despite their already not so positive interactions ,the new scars they are trying to inflict on each other would have piled upon even more making it a spider web in the past 800 years.

Spoiler: But those scenes when revealed were really good when Mu Qing had knocked Fengxin to save him and man that scene was so damn chivalrous when FX jumped into the lava to save Mu Qing (⁠｡⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠｡⁠) (Mu Qing's knight in Shining armour lol 😂). Initially I wasn't able to picturise that scene about how FX was holding MQ ,was he holding him like a bag of rice or what ,but there were two wonderful artists who had very beautifully sketched that scene and thus gave even more room to my imagination 🤭. I cannot remember the names of the Artists otherwise definitely would have tagged their works.

But yah it's good to see them being concerned about each other despite the misunderstandings between .Fenqing are not Fenqing without bickering and constantly pulling each other's legs,but I hope they open to each other more in Post canon and their jabs should be more playful then hurtful.

(Lately been obsessed with Fenqing fics be it platonic, romance, comedy anything post canon. It's fun to watch their dynamic!)

Also really love the Post canon Xian le trio dynamics.

Kyle an Tank shipper

I’d be ok with a silly Drabble, even if they are pranking the team! 😅

Ok here yah go! Don’t ever say I don’t do nothing for you 🤣

Just to be clear they aren’t a thing but who am I to yuck your yum anon 👌🏽

“Honestly I don’t think I’ve ever been this bored in my life…” you spun the chair round trying to kick Kyle with your boot, he was counting stock in the weapons locker, Price said you looked like you were up to no good so he assigned you armour check. You’d quickly got bored.

“Have you sorted out Soaps kit bag yet? I think he’s been stealing your wires yah know” Kyle didn’t look up. He knew you and soap robbed each others gear.

“Yeh…I know he has the prick…Kyle…so you ever think about us?” You scooted closer. He stopped mid count.

“What do you mean us?” His face was deadpan. You twirled a piece of your hair.

“Like in a romantic way?” You bit your lip, his face remained deadpan.

“I do actually, I’ve thought about it for awhile…even spoke to Price about it, asked him what he thinks I should do…I think about us all the time Tank…”

“You do? You did? What did Price say?” But before he answered you, he spun his cap backwards and moved in on you closing the gap. You let out a yip. Kyle burst out laughing

“Kyle!!! For fuck sake!” You pushed him back, he was still trying to kiss you, but with mock kissing noises his arms pulling you back in making you laugh as you struggled.

Just as he landed an overly sloppy kiss on your cheek the door burst open.

“You been taking my stuff….” Soap stood slack jawed in the doorway, his eyes flitting between the two of you, but before either of you could explain he was already running back down the hall.

“I’m telling Price!!” He shouted, as he ran right past Ghost.

“Telling Price what Johnny?!”

“Tank and Gaz!”

“Tank an Gaz what?”

“Tank and Gaz kissing in the stock room!”

I JUST KNEW FT. LEE HAECHAN

It's been awhile. I hv no idea why the work just keeps piling up but yeah...updates will now unfortunately be slower than it was before but don't worry! I will continue posting as much as I can.

So let's go forward with this fic!

°°° - This signifies the characters flashback

Genre: Dad au, family au, romance, fluff, crack.

Pairings: Haechan x Miyuki

Warnings: None

I just knew.

It was like the universe had already planned Us.

Me and Miyuki had been friends ever since she moved to my neighbourhood from Tokyo. At first I was skeptical to converse with her since her Korean wasn't too strong, she was Japanese of course. But as time went on, small talks turned into us hanging out at each others houses till it was dark. We were inseparable, still are. I always knew that I wanted to marry her but what strengthened my desire more was a situation we were in during our second year of high school.

I was a naughty and curious kid growing up, but I was an even more rebellious teen. Picking fights with people stronger than me, sleeping during class, staying back for detention and visiting the Principal's office way too much for my own liking. It was Summer and we had just two days before the summer holidays began, I bitched about Kim Yena Queen Bee of my high school. Not only was she the most popular girl on campus, she was the beloved girlfriend of the King of Kwangya high Park Jaesun.

He was...well...terrifying and he was even more terrifying when anyone even so looked at his Queen a different way. Yena was his queen and I bitched about her...well technically that whole drama could've been avoided if only she had steered clear of my girl, Miyuki. Not that we were dating at that time, but Miyuki was my best friend wayyy before we fell in love and had tiny munchkins of our own so when she told me that Yena verbally and physically abused her I bitched her like no one ever bitched before.

Then word got out and I became the school's most wanted student. Jaesun's minions were on my tail every single day until that faithful day, two days before our Summer holidays began. He had me surrounded on all sides and beat me up like there was no tomorrow until an angel came and saved me with pepper spray.

°°°

"Yah!" I opened my eyes slightly at sound of a familiar voice.

"What? Go about your business little girl." Jaesun said before kicking my stomach making me let out a cry.

"Yah! Let him go you bully!" Miyuki exclaimed as I gasped out for air.

"Miyuki, stay o-out of this!" I exclaimed making Yena laugh.

"Ohh, so he's your knight in shining armour." she said making Miyuki gulp as she pushed Yena to the ground harshly and made her way towards me making me curse.

"Bitch, run!" I exclaimed.

"Yah! How dare you push Yena?!" Jaesun exclaimed and walked towards Miyuki.

"You listen! I've had enough of bullies like you guys! No one gets to beat up my best friend except me!" she exclaimed and quickly took out something from her bag and sprayed it on Jaesun's eyes.

"Arghhh!! My eyes!" he said and fell to the ground.

"You bitch-" she cut Yena off by spraying what looks like pepper spray on her eyes as well.

"Come on!" Miyuki quickly helped me up and began running.

>><<

"Pepper...spray." I said exasperatedly as she caught her breath.

"I didn't know what else to do..." she said as I sat down on the floor of her bedroom.

"You could've gotten hurt." I said worriedly as she smiled.

"And leave you to become dead meat? No way...you're far too important to me." she said and gasped after realising what she said, going completely red after.

"Ahh so I'm that special?" I teased as she hit my arm lightly.

"Of course you are..." she said as I looked at her quietly with a loving gaze.

"You...y-you're important to me too...I wouldn't have gotten those beatings if you weren't important to me..."

°°°

And everything after that was history.

That day I realised that she was the one for me and I was gonna marry her. And five years of dating later we got married and we now have two beautiful angels together. Life just couldn't get any better than this. Looking back, I now know the answer to the question a lot of people asked me over the years after finding out that we're childhood best friends and high school sweethearts.

How did you know that she was the one?

The answer is that...I just knew.

"Dadd!!" I was brought out of my trance when Chaerin suddenly exclaimed.

"Yes, baby?" I ask with a smile as I pick her up into my arms.

"Mommy's calling!" she blurted out making me laugh.

"Ohh, is she? Come on, let's go to mommy then!" I say happily as I marched over to the dining room to see her and Chaerin.

"Doesn't this arrangement look beautiful?!" she chirped happily and showed me the flower arrangements done by her and Chaerin making me smile as I placed a kiss on her cheek.

"It's gorgeous love, just like you." I said as she hit me playfully.

"Daddy! Do you like it?! I helped mommy do it!" she said as I cooed at her and kissed her forehead.

"Chaein, do you like it?" she asked our youngest while placing a little flower in her hair.

"Yes!" she exclaimed making us smile as we sat in the dining room, talking for the rest of the day.

That's the end of this fic! It kinda turned out crappy at the end as I ran out of ideas but I hope y'all liked it anyways.

⠀

⠀

⠀

⠀

So the morning has finally come you think as you stare into the large brightly lit mirror in the fresher, taking your last sip of caf, you finish straightening out your cream silk blouse, apply the last layer of clear gloss ensuring your makeup is perfect but not over done finally you squirt out some of your favourite floral perfume slick your long black wavy hair into a high pony tail and your good to go, as you hail the speeder cab outside your high rise apartment the nerves begin to set in , not because of your job you've been doing this for a couple of years now, although most people thought you were too young but your father also works within the Senate so you branching into part of the GAR doesn't come at a surprise, you are part of the fight to give the clones more rights and fair treatment. ⠀

Several thoughts ran through your mind 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 , 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝗮 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗷𝗼𝗯, 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗳𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲⠀

Yes you knew you'd be working with the 104th and you heard he can be a little rough⠀

You come to an abrupt halt outside the barracks of the GAR to be greeted by the gentle Master Plo Koon "Koh-to-yah Senator Lontac , we are so pleased you will be joining us" "Koh-to-yah Master Plo Koon, Im very pleased to be here" you say back with a soft smile and your pretty sure you could see the Kel Dor smiling back at you under his mask. ⠀

As he leads you down through the barracks to the Venator-class Destroyer , one man sticks out in the group of clones, his distinctive grey and white armour you catch him remove his helmet and all you can think of is how handsome this man is , the scar running down his face just adding to the fire building up inside you, the Jedi Master leads you over to the group of troopers who all immediately address you , which you beam them a big smile and nod⠀

"Commander Wolffe I would like you to meet Senator Crystal Lontac, she will be joining you on your relief mission to Aleen and then will be spending several rotations with the 104th before we head back to Coruscant, I trust you will treat her well. Forgive me I must take my leave" ⠀

⠀

"Sir, Yes Sir!" Wolffe says cooly as the Jedi Master wanders off further into the Barracks...⠀

⠀

"Nice to meet you Commander Wolffe, I have heard many good things about you and the 104th" you say through a nervous kinda gritty smile... ⠀

⠀

To your shock he eye rolls you and lets out a small grunt⠀

𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘄𝗸𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗜 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 ⠀

finally after a few moments silence you hear "We must head to the Bridge , I am awaiting contact from Senator Amidala and Master Yoda so if you'd like to follow me... Senator" if someones tone of voice could kill the award would go to Commander Wolffe right now.⠀

As you follow the Commander each trooper who walks past greets you professionally and with respect and to each one you flash your famous smile yours twinkle each time, finally you both reach the bridge as you are standing a few feet away from Commander Wolffe 3 troopers come upto you ⠀

"Nice to meet you Senator Lontac, my names Boost" "Im Sinker" "Im Comet" they took you by surprise as each clone removed his helmet 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲.... 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝘀 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗱𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘁 , 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗹𝗳𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 ⠀

"Nice to meet you all, Im so glad you've all welcomed me , I know we will all be working close together" from the corner of your line of sight you catch the Commander looking you up and down then his eyes suddenly glare at Boost... ⠀

"We have never worked with such a pretty Senator , Ill look after you" Boost says with a little wink, this makes you blush ever so slightly ⠀

"TROOPERS begin landing procedures immediately" ⠀

"SIR YES SIR" all 3 of them said in sync ⠀

⠀

"Senator you will be travelling in my gun ship so follow me" the most rudest tone you'd ever heard in your life⠀

As you both approach the elevator Wolffe enters first with you following behind a stony silence fills the small compact space until a few floors down several shinys enter in at such speed you get knocked back into Wolffe, your curvy ass pushes right into his codpiece , you feel two large gloved hands grip your waist to keep you steady.⠀

The Commander seems to hold you for longer than needed but deep down your not complaining, its only until several voices fill the small space with " Sorry pardon us Senator" you feel Wolffes hands tear away from you. ⠀

Letting out a small clearing of your throat this long awkward elevator ride comes to an end and you find yourself walking in the main hanger towards to the gun ships. ⠀

⠀

A little chirping noise breaks your chain of thoughts " Hello R2D2 , hello C3PO nice to see you both again!" With that Wolffe comes up behind you and forcefully shoved C3PO onto a crate and all you can hear is " you think this is rough? wait till we get to the surface" you couldn't help but think how sexy that sounded⠀

𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗼 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘆 again all you can feel is this fire / butterflies building up inside you. Not realising Commander Wolffe was behind you so close you could feel the cold armour rubbing against the thin layer of fabric your clothes provided, knowing inside you shouldn't do this you let your slender fingers gently ghost across his thigh only for a moment or so, and maker even though his helmet was on you knew his eye were gazing into you, you enjoyed it.... ⠀

⠀

Landing onto the planet Aleen was smooth, Warthog is a good and skilled pilot, as soon as you touched down you, Commander Wolfee, R2D2 & C3PO are greeted by the Aleena so Wolffe explains to his troopers what he wants them to do "SIR YES SIR" ⠀

⠀

"So cyar’ika why dont you follow me and we can get started on those reports" Boost says cheekily gently touching your shoulder⠀

"Oh Boost you know I am not your cyar’ika - however yes lets get started on those reports shall we?" this came out alot more flirtier than you meant but you followed Boost over to a nearby hut and started on the Holopad getting your daily reports completed. A good hour must of gone by and you were so into the conversation yourself and Boost where having you did not notice the Commander storming over shooting daggers over to Boost ⠀

"TROOPER did I not give orders you were to find those blasted droids!?" ⠀⠀

"errr... sorry Commander I was helping the Senator with her reports" ⠀⠀

"Well dont, she does not require you to assist her with anything" this was probably the coldest tone you heard coming from his mouth and for some reason it hurt ⠀

⠀

"Take Sinker and Comet find those droids and ensure the communications are back up and running NOW" ⠀

⠀

"SIR YES SIR"⠀

⠀

The atomosphere between you and the Commander was not pleasant lets put it that way, with a small tear creeping up in the corner of your eye you turn to face away from him and begin to walk away...⠀

⠀

"I am not finished with you Senator, I want a full detailed report of the progress on this mission as-well as the treatment of my men and your thoughts , think you can handle that?" ⠀

⠀

𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗢𝗛 𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹? 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀⠀

feeling a slight rage you get closer to the Commander and look directly in his eyes, his tall broad body towering over your 5"5 height ⠀

"Yes Commander this will be done, and if I couldn't handle it why am I here?" you spit out at him and turn to walk away. ⠀

⠀

A few hours later back on board the Cruiser sat in your new temporary office you continue to tap away at the Holopad diving into detail ready to have this completed for the Commander when you hear a small knock ⠀

⠀

"its open.."⠀

⠀

"Hello Senator fancy joining us for some food?" A curious Boost pops his head through the door "come on I bet your hungry" you hear Sinker in the background "if you don't eat the Senate will think we aren't treating you fairly" laughs Comet ⠀

⠀

"ok ok boys I'm coming, lead the way!"⠀

⠀

⠀

Once you Boost, Sinker and Comet are sat down eating chatting and laughing away you see the Commander making his way over.... ⠀

"Senator Lontac please come to my office we have some things to discuss with your reports" but this time his tone was not sarcastic or cold it was just monotone no feeling to it, and for some reason that riled you up further. ⠀

⠀

"Can this not wait Commander? I have already sent you a copy of my report and all.."⠀

⠀

"My office now"⠀

⠀

you slammed your fists down on the table get up and walk towards Commander Wolffe you can hear Boost, Sinker & Comet in the background snickering. ⠀

⠀

Wolffe leads you to his office and ushers you to sit down next to him... ⠀

"I just wanted to know if you needed my input or any help with the reports Senator" this was the first time you ever heard a more softer tone from the grumpy Commander ⠀

⠀

"No Commander Wolffe I have everything under control.... and its Crystal... not Senator" you say as you look over to him under those long lashes, your full lips slightly parted⠀

⠀

"If we are ditching the professional titles... its just Wolffe" again so softly spoken you cant help but feel that burning heat rise inside you, a small tingle between your legs. But boy oh boy you could feel the sexual tension rising before you could do anything Wolffe placed his hand above your knee slowly working his way up, his touch so soft it sent shivers down your spine, suddenly within a flash of a second he has pulled you onto him and your straddling his hips, the cool of his armour feels so good against your body. ⠀

He is gripping has hands onto your tiny waist harder your almost grinding on his codpiece the gentlest breathy moan escapes your pouty lips, your so sure you could hear Wolffe growl.... but as quickly as he pulled you onto him he ushers you off him. ⠀

⠀

Quickly composing yourself feeling those damn tears again your face blushing uncontrollably you make a dash for it out of his office, not stopping until you reach your own private quarters. ⠀

⠀

Behind your closed door the tears stream down your face⠀

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 ? 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗺𝗲 ? ⠀

⠀

Those thoughts take hours to leave your mind before you drift off into a peaceful sleep. ⠀

⠀

Moments in the Branzy 4 stream that make me kinda insane

—————

Bacon: Did u tell Branzy about ur problem

Zam: No, not yet

Mapicc: What’s ur problem

Zam: I don’t think I will

*Bacon asks again*

Mapicc: Are u struggling with ur identity again PrinceZam?

Zam: Why would u think that-

Mapicc: Because u always are, and than u make a bunch of signs and than u complain for four days and u end up either not doing something or doing something way too drastic for no reason.

Spoke: Tru- Yeah

Bacon: Yeah, kind of fair… his name is Princezam

Zam: Yeah

*Mapicc laughs*

Spoke: wait can we do some lore now, like I’m tired of being funny, can we do some lore now

Zam: *muted* Why does he know me so well, why does he know me SO damn well, that’s so weird

—————

Zam changes skin: It’s me Pussn’boots

*Mapicc turns towards Zam*

*another conversation happening in the background*

Mapicc in a Angry birds skin: And I am Death

—————

*Zam in the Rek centre as Mapicc walks in*

Zam: Hey dude

Mapicc: you know, ah Rekraps obsidian thing still exists

Zam: Really!?

Mapicc: Yah look follow me

Zam: is it buried?! Yah sure

—————

*Clownpierce riding the horse with golden armour*

Bacon: who’s horse is that?

Mapicc: Hors! It’s mine

Zam: Ok

Mapicc: No he’s mine!

*Zam & Clown verbally fighting while with hors*

Mapicc: Hey, pls don’t hurt my horse

—————

Zam: why are the dogs racist

Mapicc: well because they called me a bad word that I can’t repeat on stream

Zam: oh ok

Mapicc: or off stream

—————

Bacon: there’s like a group of players; Spoke, Ash, Vitalasy, his whole team all have access to these weird abilities, to make creative mode and bedrock and barriers and whatever they want, alright. They’re doing stuff with it, there all doing different things and they’re on different sides. Like Mapicc is against Vitalasy and his team, which is eclipse but he’s also teamed with Spoke and they’re team is called Leviathan, So Leviathan and Eclipse hate each other but both have exploiters on each of they’re sides. So it’s a little bit interesting.

Spoke: And yeah jaron

Bacon: what wdym

Spoke: …yknow ur probably part of it!!

*Zam deafens*

Zam: After learning that Spokes on my side, everything he says is like… starting to make sense yknow. It’s like everything he says is to like cover for Vitalasy, yknow. Every joke he makes is like a deflection kind of- like I’ve seen a lot, it’s crazy, he’s like so good at just getting ppl to stop being suspicious of him. Everyone knows it’s him still but he puts suspicion away immediately, it seems like Spoke is like super loyal to Vitalasy.

*Zam undeafens*

Bacon: oh thankgod, we were all sitting in silence until you-

Zam: Oh

—————

Mapicc: Look there’s Spoke

Zam: Oh good job Spoke

Mapicc No, look there Spoke flowers

Zam: Oh I get it, yah

Bacon: Are they gay?

Zam: No

Mapicc: what?!

Bacon: I wasn’t sure what u meant by Spoke flowers

Mapicc: That’s cause there withers, and there’s like an analogy

—————

Branzy: My advice is anytime that you can betray Vitalasy, you just do it

Zam: *chokes into laughter*

Untitled Bounty Hunter

I gently pulled back on the controls as the landing gear went into place as the ship touched down on Zeta-27. Flicking a switch on the control panel, the ship started sending out untraceable sonar radar waves across the planet. The screen to my left spit out data as the right started comparing it to what I was looking for. I left the computer to its work, off to my quarters to grab my gear. "Now where did I leave that Lazrifle" The mess of a room gave no answers, excluding the occasional beep of the Hyge-O-Matic in the far corner. I rifled around in piles of undisclosed objects until finding what I was looking for. "My trusty Lazrifle, looking good as the day I built it" I tossed on my armour, then slung the rifle across my back. "Harv...why is my helmet filled with soup?" The ships ai (Herin Inc Automatic Responses for Vessels) Harv activated to answer my question, "After your escapades in that bar on Zeta-6, you returned, made soup, and used the helmet as a bowl" "I gotta stop drinking so much, wash this out while I'm gone will yah?" "You were also crying about Miran again" I pointed at the ceiling, "tmi Harv, tmi" A loud beep went off in the command room, the indicator that what I was looking for had been found. I tossed the helmet at the nearest clean station, "I'm going out au naturale, wash that while I'm gone will yah?" "Make sure you wear the earpiece, otherwise we won't have contact" "Yeah yeah I got it" Sticking the piece in my ear, and strapping on my watch, I exited the ship to the blowing sands of Zeta-27. I heard Harv's voice in my ear, "I would recommend some head protection, it looks like a light sand storm may be en route" I tossed on a pair of Cee Goggles (TM) and wrapped my head in a scarf so that only the goggles extruded. I brought up my watch, switching on the face to reveal a 3D map with two glowing spots to mark my and my target's location. I hopped on my Navo-bike and secured my scarf against the now harshly blowing sand. I double checked my watch then made my way off toward the sandy horizon.

MMBN/Fullmetal Alchemist crack:

(Mid-battle)

Geo: Mr. Lan!

Lan: Stop calling me- yah!

Geo: Sorry! But I have an idea! We can try magnetizing your brother's armour again, and then we can use our Wave Alchemy!

Lan: Will that (yikes!) make a difference?

Omega-Xis: Said it yourself, kid. EM waves are invisible. Flash can't stop 'em!

Lan: … Let me get on him first this time!

Lan: Hub! We have a plan!

Hub: Huh? Uh, okay, what's the plan?

Omega: This! Let's do it Geo!

Geo: Magnetize!

Flash: Eh--?!

The metal on Flash's body attaches to Hub's armor

Flash: Wh-What is this--?

Amethyst - Chapter Nine

A/N: This chapter is a little longer than the others. Trigger warning: it takes a rather dark turn at the end as Y/N discovers a horrific fact about a certain group of people.

Gym Leader Austen sent out Ninetales!

"Go! Zelda! I know you can do it!" I tossed out my Ultra Ball, and Zelda stood face-to-face with the yellow canine-type creature. "Use Hydro Pump!" The canine winced in protest as it was splashed ferociously.

Ninetales used Flare Blitz!

It's not very effective...

The opposing Ninetales was damaged by the recoil!

"Zelda, use Waterfall!"

Ninetales was once again engulfed in water, which caused the Pokemon to faint. However, despite this, Austen began to chant, "Thirteen! Fourteen! Fifteen! Sixteen! Are you as strong as Flossi's Hatterene!" Seemingly unbothered, he quickly tossed his second Pokeball in Zelda's direction.

Gym Leader Austen sent out Carkol!

Zelda still had a lot of HP left, so I decided to subject Austen's Carkol to an onslaught!

Zelda used Hydro cannon!

The opposing Carkol fainted! A 1-hit KO!

Austen's jaw dropped to the floor whilst Carkol disappeared into his Pokeball. "Whoa, kid! Slow down! You'll burn up! Anyway, ah-HEM! Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty! You want fire power? I've got plenty! YAH!"

Gym Leader Austen sent out Arcanine!

Zelda used Hydro Cannon!

The opposing Arcanine avoided the attack!

"Haha! Don't think I'm letting you dull my flame THAT easily! Austen smirked.

Arcanine used Fire Fang!

This move knocked Zelda's HP down into the red zone, however, she had already taken down two of Austen's Pokemon, so I felt well-placed to win this match.

And I actually did!

You defeated Gym Leader Austen!

"Twenty-three, twenty-four, Arceus damn it! I've lost count!" He covered his face with his hands in defeat, before walking towards me. He pulled out a shiny red trinket from his pocket, with a dazzling flame symbol, and placed it in my sweaty palm.

"Now THAT was epic! You've got some fire in your chest, alright!"

I chuckled, thanking Austen for the Fire Badge as I shook his hand. My new outfit was completely drenched in sweat. "Now listen to me kid, don't ever let anyone dim the flame in your heart!"

I nodded. "Thank you Austen. I had a lot of fun here, but I really do need to go outside and cool down."

"Haha, it's always a pleasure! Now go have a nice icy bath on Juniper Mountain!"

****

As I walked out of the Fire Gym, proudly sporting my three gym badges, I spotted a familiar face walking towards the gym. It was none other than my rival himself, Danny. "Hey Danny, how does it feel to be behind me for once?" I wiggled my eyebrows before proudly folding my arms over my chest. The mousy-haired young man just laughed. "Hah! Don't get used to it! You got a head start on me, Y/N. I'm heading into the fire gym right now."

"I'll wait for you in the library." I said. "But don't keep me waiting too long, Danny!" He sent me a scowl before striding confidently into the gym. And so I made my way to the Ridgeburn Library, which was a small building across the street from the Fire Gym. The carpet was, of course, red, and the bookshelves that lined the walls were rustic and smelled like old, dusty furniture. I loved that scent, as it reminded me of the mountains of books I used to read during my childhood. To my surprise, they had books relating to the history of every region in the world. There were books about Kalos, Kanto, my home country of Unova, Galar, Paldea, Alola, Sinnoh, Hoenn and more. I quickly found my way to the Taldourse History book section, scouring the books until I found a title that piqued my interest. "The Rise of the Castor Champions". I peeked at the front cover, which was a photograph of Champion Kossi, with a sparkling white-and-gold cape draped over his black armour. His straight, blonde hair was so sleek-looking, and was perfectly complimented by the Champion's Crown on his head. His equally-stunning wife, Flossi, was clutching his arm. The two had turned heads in every single region they had visited, not only for their incredible Pokemon battling skills, but also for their flawless visuals. Flossi's black-and-gold mesh dress perfectly complimented Kossi's armour.

I sat down at a desk and immersed myself in this fascinating piece of literature.

"Flossi escaped an extremely dangerous family situation, and fled to a lonely place in some woods, where she knew no people would be. She remained homeless and destitute for years, living off of natural resources. However, she was smart enough to survive alone, and managed to built a strong team of Pokemon to protect her from danger. During her teenage years, she met an incredibly talented Pokemon trainer who specialised in Psychic types. His name was Kossi Castor. The Castor family were known for being extremely wealthy and powerful, so much so that not even Team Moon dared to provoke them in any way. Kossi and Flossi quickly became rivals, with Flossi adopting many of Kossi's psychic skills, before the two successfully defeated the newly-in-place Elite Four. After securing their place amongst Taldoursian heroes, they married on the battlefield outside of the Pokemon League."

Out of nowhere, my reading was interrupted. "Hey Y/N, what book is that?" I looked up from the book, surprised to see Mackenzie! And even more surprisingly, Lisa did not seem to be present with him. He looked rather odd and out-of-place on his own. I was not used to seeing him without Lisa. I showed him the front cover.

"So you're looking into the history of the Champions?" He sat down beside me.

I nodded. "Yeah, I wanna get to the bottom of what really happened with them."

"Well, I've got something that might prove useful to you." He began unzipping his signature Woobat rucksack, and after rummaging around for a couple of minutes, he pulled out some old newspapers, and set them out in front of me. I placed the book down on the table so I could pour over them. As Mack flicked through them, I took a glance at some of the headlines.

"Shattered Championship: How the death of Champion Kossi Castor shook the region of Taldourse."

"Shocking Revelation: Remaining Champion stripped of her title following dramatic bust-up with Elite Four."

"The mysterious disappearance of Flossi Castor and the Champion's Crowns"

"Opinion: The future of Taldourse's Championship"

"Wow, thanks Mack. These will definitely be helpful." I smiled before stuffing them away in my own rucksack.

"No problem. I went back home and dug out these from my old newspaper collection, since you seem so interested in how things came to be. Oh! And on another note, I see you've already got three gym badges." He pointed at my shirt, where the badges were pinned. Looking down at them, I nodded.

"How's your gym mission coming along then, Mack?"

He grinned, before turning around his Woobat rucksack to reveal FOUR gym badges!

"Wow, how did you do that so fast?!" I gasped.

Mack seemed mildly amused by my reaction to his success, yet he shrugged it off and played it cool. "I went to Quantanum before I came here and got the electric badge first. Just came out of the Fire Gym."

"But how did you do it so quickly?!" I demanded to know his secret.

"Ah, it was nothing really." He scratched the back of his head. "Lisa told me to always maximise my potential. That way we've got a better chance at joining Team Moon."

I found it rather odd that Mackenzie, despite evidently being the much smarter and stronger of the Team Moon duo, had much lower confidence than Lisa. "Mack, why do you keep downplaying your achievements? Four gym badges in a week is no mean feat."

"I don't want to get too big for my boots because Lisa won't like that. I like to enjoy the learning journey as much as the outcome. Lisa is pretty tunnel-visioned; she just wants to get all the badges as quickly as she can so that she can get into Team Moon. I can't fault her determination." Mack responded. "But... I enjoy the process of Pokemon battling, increasing my strength et cetera, whereas Lisa just sees the gym challenge as a means to an end."

"That's interesting. But why does it seem like you can never go anywhere or do anything without Lisa's permission?" I had been wanting to ask him this question for a long time.

"A lot of people think Lisa is too dominant, and that I let her bully me and walk all over me, but that's not the case at all. I actually owe a hell of a lot to Lisa. She's like a big sister to me, despite being a couple of months younger. As a thank you, I agreed to support her in pursuit of joining Team Moon."

"What do you mean when you say you owe her?"

Mackenzie turned his head and looked around, ensuring that nobody nearby was listening to the conversation. He took a deep breath before beginning to explain himself. "Lisa would kill me if she knew I was telling you this, but... she actually saved my life a really long time ago. I was orphaned at a young age, and Lisa was the one who found me all alone. She and her parents took me in, and raised me, so we're pretty much brother and sister."

"Wow..." was all I could say. "What a kind-hearted woman she is,"

"Don't let her hear you say that!" Mackenzie hissed.

"Oh sorry, okay, well, if you don't mind, could you maybe tell me the fastest way to get to Quantanum? I want that electric badge."

"I took a flying taxi," Mack remarked, shrugging.

"Oh, okay. Gotcha. Hey, why don't we battle once I've got the badge?" I stood up.

Mackenzie looked away for a minute, pondering my offer.

"Uh, yeah, okay," he finally nodded.

I smiled back. "Well, I'm off to find Danny. I'll catch you later!"

"Bye."

****

As I sat down on the bench outside the Ridgeburn Gym waiting for Danny, I was approached by a random woman. She was of medium stature with a slim build and long, forest-green hair. She was wearing a long, green gown to match. "Hi, forgive my intrusion, but are you Y/N?"

"Y-yes...? Can I help you?" I felt rather awkward. Yet, the awkward atmosphere quickly dissipated when she broke out into one of the brightest smiles I'd ever seen.

"I'm Seraphina. I've heard a lot about you. You're quite the talk of the town."

My heart skipped a beat once I realised who this was. "You're SERAPHINA?! As in the Elite Four's Seraphina?!" My brain quickly re-entered its default social awkward mode, as I realised I was face-to-face with the Rock-Type legend herself.

She laughed softly. "Oh no, please don't worry! I'm not trying to intimidate you! I just thought I'd come and congratulate you on your progress thus far."

I had an overwhelming urge to ask her about Flossi, however due to her warmth and affability, I decided that would be extremely inappropriate. Instead, I scratched my head and decided to take the "humble" approach. "Uh... thanks but... really, there's this other guy who's ahead of me who has four gym badges already. His name is Mackenzie."

Seraphina didn't seem put off by this at all. "I came to see YOU, not him. Anyway, back to the task in hand, you haven't seen any Team Moon grunts around here, by any chance?"

I shook my head. "Nope. Not a single one."

Seraphina raised her eyebrows in surprise. "And to think the place was once crawling with them. You hardly see any these days. Ah well, I suppose that's definitely a good thing."

"Why is that a good thing?" I asked curiously.

"Team Moon are absolutely horrible people. They've been terrorising Taldoursians since time immemorial." She knitted her eyebrows as she spoke, and I noticed her body posture became more subdued.

"Terrorising how?" I queried.

"Well, back when we came to power, we had to deal with all sorts. From bribing kids to join them with Pokemon, to stealing, threatening people, and worst of all, doing all kinds of weird stuff to Pokemon to give them special powers."

I gasped in horror upon learning this. My heart dropped to my stomach when I remembered that these were the people that Lisa had been looking up to all her life. "So the rumours were true?"

Seraphina nodded sadly. "They're all true. Which it's why it's really important that you let an authority figure know if you see one."

I had no choice but to nod my head in agreement, although I felt sick to my stomach.

How was Lisa so blind to the monsters that Team Moon really were? Who had brainwashed her this much? The more I thought about it, the more scared I became for her.

I HAD to tell her the truth...

I wanna buy on tube that I need to get a job but still wanting to have Borgy and will continue doing my act write-up scene here... Still, thinking on act 5, soon or in a lil while....

I was just thinking the EXL company that I applied 2 days ago were/ are police people. They have these 2 large boxes with a crime scene tape, I was thinking if it is a "Twin Peak"... huh???

My point was, I was supposed to be with Borgy and I was different and I hope he knew me, how I wish... That I can possibly save the "scenic woman"...

For those happy scenic people in the society... Good Luck!

I feel so offended and insulted...

16 years the scenic people happy... I feel out of place here in Cavite....

11:54 am

Still, have windblow and I'm not happy... I still wanna perfect my nose and leave Cavite for good... I need to get a job and I need money...

My vanity it was and still me coz I'm for supposed to be and still believing on "golden aging".

2:16 pm

I still have windblow ... I feel irritated....I'm worrying so much....I need money and job and how can I be seen and be on the murder scene with Borgy?

I have to get HIM... I need a quick recovery Borgy from this flatness... I need to do our wedding if possible... I'm on the edge Borgy, I hope Borgy can read this....The plan was different coz of the situation...

I wanna have Borgy...16 years I feel so bitter!!! I have no progress since this windblow came...

I feel bitter... I can't get progress here in Cavite, I feel like someone is always following me just to destroy my entire life.

Why, I can't have Borgy??? I need a lil scene Borgy! There is no way for me here...

My family is not intellectual and it is so sad I wasn't able to get HERO or a prince charming or a knight and shining armour... 16 years there are so many fake care that I got from people around me...

My family is not intelligent enough coz they are allowing me to be smashed by the situation, other people are starting to judge me that I'm so cheap but this is reality life....

2:46 pm

I was not cheap, I had yaya, I don't know if Borgy knew that and after awhile I was really spoiled until after college, I was spoiled and it hurts me if other younger generation was able to copy me since 2007 and they planned to take my place and they did...

I always had an assistant only these days, I lost that spoiled position coz of the people who pulled me down even other fake relatives....

6:43 pm

I feel bitter... I wanna leave the hometown... How many more years to go Borgy or this fucking windblow?

I feel jealous here and there and on my missing fucking friends who got along with each other for so many years... I feel so jealous... They are so happy being together and simply observing me.

6:57 pm

Bear???

It is my nonsense ending here... I don't know...

Bear??? What do yah think???

7:30 pm

Bear?

8:49 pm

I feel bitter for 16 years... I feel frustrated....I lost social life and I just feel envious coz they just used me but I was never in the center since this windblow came to me year 2007...

Now, I really want Borgy and I feel bitter since this windblow came nobody wants me and I can't get progress....Plus, I lost fucking friends or they are missing but in action....Some women in the society, in my observation they will steal who ever I want... If other women will find out that I like a particular guy, they will steal him from me or they will get the attention of the guy I like...

I can't be with shorty guys, coz all of my exes are taller than me and I was spoiled just give credits to that lost position that I had...

Why, I can't have Borgy? Coz I'm chubby and shorty??? That's a nonsense issue! There are so many couple who are paired that the woman is shorty and the guy is tall... Why, if it's me, it is so damn big deal and negative if it is me!

I have a windblow trap... I wanna buy starbuçks everyday... I miss going to AF but I have no fundings or at least make my own gym room. I can't even travel... I feel super self-pity... I have no savings... I have windblow... I took my vow if it is not Borgy this time in the Philippines, I will not take any suitors anymore and I know they are all dead or stolen, it is better to put a gate on me!

I have no savings .... How can I marry Borgy? I wanna get Borgy? What's wrong with me?

I'll just fix myself in right time Borgy.... Am I super ugly??? Am I super ugly?

I know, I feel ugly but I don't think so that I'm super ugly...

I'm trying to diet... Me? I'm super vain Borgy my original character but look at my situation, situation gave me a different maturity... But I'm always posting here that I wanna have a "golden aging"... Golden aging is ideal life...

To be continued...

Also, following on from this with some YAH thoughts, because uh. Yeah. Brain do nothing else.

I honestly do not think Oliver and Felix would have a future if they got together at Oxford. They're both too immature, the time it's set in as well as things like Felix being the next Sir of Saltburn and their differences in class would get in the way.

Yes, Oliver is middle class, but they are still a world apart and that is a hard bridge to cross when you're 20 and especially when one of you is richer than Croesus and has never had consequences.

The initial idea that spawned... well. 200k words and counting was the idea of Truth, because Saltburn is in many ways a film about lies.

Not just Oliver's big lie.

Saltburn itself is a lie- this glowing summer, glorious, dripping excess but hollow within.

The lie of politeness. Everyone talking behind everyone else's back when they're out of earshot.

The lie of benevolence and affection, when the Cattons see everyone else as disposable once they're boring... but they see themselves as saviours. Poor Dear Pamela.

The lie of truly loving parents, when Elspeth calls her daughter sexually incontinent and writes off her eating disorder. When Felix calls Elspeth a terrible person, he probably sort of means it- but they all are. That's the point.

The lie of maturity, when Sir James is like a child- playing at Lord of the Manor in his armour while his kids snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

The lie of a family, when Farleigh is proven to be disposable.

So it mostly started off as... What if Oliver was truthful? And what if he had clawed his way to a position seen as honorable- if he knew the power Felix had over him and why he performed so dutifully... and could verbalise it, resist it if he had to?

Oliver knew it was all a daydream from the moment he lied, and he wanted Felix to see the lie as a compliment. Felix might even have done so, if Oliver had waited, but Oliver's novelty would be gone by the end of the summer.

Then... Felix surviving means Felix is stuck within that dazzling shell of lies. He has his future laid out for him, because he will become Sir Felix Catton and continue the cycle.

You can't break lies with lies.

Re: canon Felix not remembering to tell Ollie about the formalwear, I think it's his self-centeredness making him shortsighted and oblivious but also maybe subconsciously giving himself another chance at playing white knight (just like taking Ollie home because his mother "sounded sober") and feeling good about himself.

(In an alternate universe where Felix is slightly more thoughtful, he doesn't mention the clothes precisely because he knows there's no way Oliver owns or can afford them. Why give him something to worry about when Felix can pretend an oversight and then wave the problem away in seconds rather than put him in the uncomfortable position of having to either reject the invitation or ask for a handout? (double saviour points!) ... But in that universe Felix may have also realized it was weird that Oliver didn't need a summer job)

Okay so I wrote a lot then I deleted it to be more coherent but okay. OKAY.

Felix as Philanthropist. Felix as the hand of God, lifting people from mundanity. Felix as the Knight Who Saves The Princess.

Felix is none of these things, despite wanting to be, because Felix doesn't understand the nature of true kindness. Not really.

What Felix wants is to be universally adored. He mostly is, too, because he's a bombshell hottie-hot rich boy, but the problem is that it's too fucking easy. Everything has diminishing returns to Felix. He gets what he wants, when he wants- and that will make you numb. It's like a callous; Felix has probably only felt actual, deep emotions fleetingly, and even then... He tells Oliver he threw a stone for his dog but...

He doesn't say his dog's name. He loved the dog enough to go through the family ritual for death, but now the dog is nameless.

(I have named the dog Barney, btw, because all pups deserve a name)

Oliver, unlike everyone else, puts up a resistance to Felix's Will. Even Farleigh comes with the begging bowl.

"It's an awful faff to wheel it back to campus" "oh, you want me to..."

Their first proper interaction and Oliver makes him self-conscious. You can see it- he breaks his Felix Eye Contact and goes all hand-wavey and awkward, before Oliver says he will.

That establishes the pattern. Felix wants. Oliver denies. Felix has to try harder. Oliver gives in. Felix likes it.

Oliver is proud despite his apparent circumstances, and despite everything Felix could hold over him, Oliver refuses to just get on the floor and lick his boots and worship him the way everyone else does. Oliver does this because he knows that Felix gets bored when things are too easy, but also because he wants Felix to actually care about him. If Felix stops trying, it means Felix no longer cares, so Oliver makes him demonstrate his affection. To paraphrase-

"Come to Saltburn" - accept my glory and benevolence. Make me feel good. Let me save you.

"It's too much of an imposition." - prove to me that you want me there. Prove to me you care about me. Prove to me that I am more to you than the others.

"You'll save my sanity, really." - I need you to give in so I can actually feel good about myself. Please.

Now, the Hot Argument is a reversal of this. Oliver wants. Felix says no. Oliver tries harder. Felix does not like it.

Then Oliver comes back, with a new chapter of tragedy, which is Oliver Giving In, which Felix Likes.

Now the Dinner Jacket and the Birthday Trip are, actually, both the same thing. Felix has learned the pattern, you see, and he wants to skip straight to Felix Likes It without the initial pushback. He's on his home turf- and look.

Felix knows Oliver doesn't Get It. Felix absolutely knows. His family know all about Oliver’s Sad Circumstances- even if he Told Them In Confidence, that just means they don't talk about it in front of Oliver. He has probably been absolutely writhing about how NICE he's being while waiting for Oliver to arrive, the same as he was in the Was It Awful scene. He's been watching for Oliver to arrive (it's a big house- he pops up maybe 5 seconds after Ollie's come in), seen him be absolutely cowed by Duncan and swooped in to Save Him in his see-throughish white shirt.

Given him the grand tour.

And it starts- not with the jacket, but with the razor.

Felix is dripfeeding Oliver information because then he can bypass the whole Oliver says No part of their little dance. He probably doesn't know it, but that's what he's doing.

"Oh and you need to shave."

"Oh and the maids tell mum everything."

"Oh and you need to dress for dinner."

He doesn't warn Oliver about The Help opening the windows. Or the Henry party. Or the field. He lets Oliver get to the cusp of Something, then Oliver has to give in.

The Birthday Trip is the culmination of it.

Oliver doesn't fight Felix about the trip. About wearing something nice. He doesn't ask and Felix doesn't tell him, because Felix wants him captive.

If Felix actually thought about it for longer than 20 seconds, he might have realised that there's no way this would go well. He hid Oliver's mum's phonecall for a week. A week.

He probably wouldn't have even told Oliver if he could avoid it. I bet he'd have blindfolded him if it was a short trip. Because Felix wants to Be The Hero and roll up to the shack that he assumes Oliver grew up in and rain money on the problem to make it go away.

And what would have happened if it WAS as bad as Oliver described? Oliver would have been humiliated just as badly as he was by the lie coming out. Felix would realise that he is out of his depth, and... am I going to need to write my version of this? Maybe. Oops.

We see Felix through the lens of Oliver's love, but once again:

They're both idiot kids. They're 19/20, immature, off their faces on Saltburn and being young and the weird dynamic between them. It was never going to go well.
