You know, when no matter how hard you try each good thing you try to think about brings up harsh memories.

[heartfullofleeches]

Ngl in my mind Twisters dick is a baloon

That is... extremely cursed. I need to draw ol Twisty the clown, but in my brain it has two tentacle dicks that are twisted into one.

Sorta like these candies

WHAT UR OPINON ON BELLINGHAM AND VINI JR IF YOU KNOW WHO HEY ARE 🎤🎤🎤🎤

OFC I KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

This ended up longer than I intended it to be, but it's just that I get too passionate abt football 😔

OKAY, I'LL START WITH THE BRAZILIAN ONE (OFC, BRAZIL ON TOP 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷)

Vini Jr is a very great player. He brought up some really important matters, such as the "Stop racism on the field" one. He is very smart and has great habilities, hence why he's known as Vini Malvadeza (Malvadeza=evilness), and also bcs of his celebration where he does horns with his fingers on his head.

Now, even though on Real he's an amazing player, he doesn't live up to that title on the national team. Don't get me twisted, he's still a very great player, but Dorival (brazilian's coach) changes the line up in a way where he doesn't play with the same function as he does in Real, where he scores AND passes (Ancelloti's idea), while in Brazil he mostly dribles and scores. That's why he makes some mistakes and doesn't show all his football skills there.

Lastly, I don't think he's a match for Neymar. Nobody is tbh. He's very good, but Neymar was different. Hope Vini finds himself tho.

NOW TO BELLINGHAM

Apart from being handsome, Jude is a very good player. Ever since Borussia, he's shows great soccer skills and the hability to "find goals": he basically knows where the goal is bound to occur, so he has lots of participations in goals. He scored an amazing goal on the euros (I don't remember the game, but it was a bicycle kick) and is a runner up for the baloon d'or, which shows how great of a player he is.

THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED BELLIGOL HERE IN BRAZIL. HE SCORES, SCORES AND SCORES!!

Aside from that, I don't have much to say abt him. He's very good, yes, and plays well on Real and on the national team. Let's hope he can become the hero of he nation after Harry Kane retires (which he basically already did) and brings football home (after Brasil wins the sixth WC, ofc)

NOW, IF YOU'RE ASKING ME ABT BOTH OF THEM AS A DUO, THEY'RE AMAZING. Bellingham's hability to infiltrate the grand area and receiving and dominating balls from various angles adds to Vini's drible ability and speed, making them an almost illegal duo. They're almost synonims to goal! Real has a very great team right now, with Mbappe, Endrick AND SPECIALLY RODRYGO (my boy's so underrated smh)

As a Real fan, I hope they win the next championships 🙏🙏

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS ASK I LOVE TALKIMG ABOUT SOCCER

For Brett! 👀

🎈 (balloon) - What does your character do at parties? Are they a wallflower or a party animal? Do they go with friends or alone?

🚨 (siren) - What’s your character’s relationship with the law? Have they ever been arrested? What for? What are their opinions on law enforcement?

👠 (heels) - How does your oc dress? Are they stylish or casual? Do they keep up with trends or do their own thing? Do they prefer designer clothes or going to the thrift store? Do they have a signature item of clothing?

in character answers straight from Brett's player ^^

Baloon: Parties is a great way to meet new contacts. Funny enough the night I meet Natasha I moonwalked into the middle of elysiums dancefloor and did a whole saturday night fever routine. And I brought her as my +1. "Haaaaave you meet Raymond?" Sort of interactions. Getting my people in contact with the people who might want things done.

Siren: Well I'm a white upperclass citizen. Police is a good tool to get rid of undesirables, especially when the DA aswell of the chief of police is in the pocket of a fellow ventrue. That said…. they are bloody nuances at the worst of times, and I tend to twist the truth to fit my narrative rather than argue straight on with them… Im more worries about the federal agents than the cops.

Heels: a constant rotation of cheaper but brand new suits, think batistini or so, not out of the ordinary mans pricerange but still not tailored.

I got a… friend… named Bruno who is my personal stylist. Arrive every evening to do my hair and bring a new suit. I think he got some brand deal over seas where they dont look into where the money is coming from. He then sell the 'old' one seconhand and got clean money to invest in other endeavors.

The Strange Case of Balaam

COMMENTARY:

Trump has been on a losing streak since he reneged on a deal with Chairman Kim to shave his head and broker a peace treaty between the sovereign states of the Republic of Korea and Democratic Peoples Republic, Not shaving the head was the deal breaker, If he had shaved his head and promoted Melania's Be Best East Wing Legacy Project, he would be working on his acceptance speach for a Teddy Roosevelt Nobel Prize from the Resolute Desk and Melania Trump would have shared a Nobel Prize with Abdullah II for the completion of the Abraham Covenant, I mean, 2 impeachments and 34 gulty vericts later, his trajectory has been a swan dive into an empty pool .He was on a advertisement just before the featured video about the talking donkey, He looks like a deflating Macy Day baloon deflting, Bruce, here's the thing: right now, Christina Nationalism is being held together by the original sin of the PResbyterian Church USA, Wookrow Wilson slove owner Jim Crow bigotry, It's structural, going back to James Madison and Federalist 10, which is cribbed from John Knox's Book of Discipline to good the evver, the US Constitution to be precise. John Knox was not a white supremacist and James Madison was and that little twist of parochial interest to what is the structures of an infinite game,  rit I'm related to Woodrow Wilson, but I'm from the League of Nations BLM/Reparations/DEI side of the family, When I got back from Vietnam, there was no such thing as a DEI hire in corporate America, but the Democrats on Capitol Hill were totally DEI, I'm a hard-wired Eisenhower Republican and all Democrats make me crazy, but once upon a time, I did a geat deal of very creative and fun work with Democrts working with communities around affordable housing, For example, we scouted a number of properties for projects may have been at the leading edge of Habitat for Humanity, My point is that the Presbyterian Church USA needs to consciously, collectively and consensually repent of your racist core of rot. John Knox had been a slave on a French galleon before he composed the Book of Discipline, James Madison had a vested interest in sustaining the status quo, racially. This is what you get when you add Hegel back into Post Modern Historic Deconstruction, Hegel rejected Calvinism, which offends lawyers, The Westminister Confession is supposed to be a masterpiece of rational theology, but anything more complicated that the Apostle's Creed is, at best, redundant. Covinism violates Free Will, which is the essence of Luther: the Roman Inquistion violated Free Will and the TULIP docrine convey's that heresy into Protestantism,, Which is why George Washington was a Deist.

Creativity - November

In November I continued to draw coloring pages for the children at WUM. One of the pages I created was a cat and some baloons. Despite it being inspired from a pre-existing template i really enjoyed adding a small twist of my own (the hearts and stars).

Reflection: I really enjoy making these drawings and truly love watching them being colored as well as watching my personal progress in drawing them. Even small additions I placed, brought the drawing to life and made it more personal and interesting to me.

[mtap-comics]

Masterlist

To the folks out there following my Bad Things Happen Bingo, here are all my ideas for what I have in mind for the still open prompts and what I have written so far.

Drowning: Elenya just wanted to fix the railing of the platform of the hot air baloon ride so that no one could fall into the freezing water. Arlo, who was waiting for her a little further away, had warned her to be careful because it could be slippery. She should have better listened to him.

Asthma Attack: Elenya’s lungs haven’t betrayed her this badly in a long time, so why did it have to happen now in front of her crush, the Civil Corps captain, of all people?

Stumbling and Staggering: Elenya had a really bad week. She was completely exhausted and she just wanted a hug from her favourite person, even if she had to stumble up the hill to the Civil Corps Headquarters to get it.

Bloody Nose: Elenya never thought getting her nose broken by a door was the way to get a boyfriend.

Worked Themselves to Exhaustion: Elenya was tired. No, scratch that. Elenya was exhausted. She didn't think she'd ever been as exhausted as she was at that moment.

Bedside Vigil: Elenya knew dating the Civil Corps Captain meant he might not always come back to her in one piece, but that it would happen 5 days before her wedding was not something she had anticipated.

Passing out from Pain: Elenya never thought she would see a Rogue Knight, let alone fight him. However, she would have gladly done without the resulting compound fracture.

Bruises: Participating in the martial arts tournament while already covered in bruises was not Elenya's best idea. Especially not when she had to compete against Arlo.

Forgetting to Eat: Elenya knew the perfect birthday gift for Arlo. All she had to do was dig it up in the abandoned ruins. That shouldn't take too long, right?

Sunburn: Elenya should have listened to Arlo. He had reminded her to reapply the sunscreen if she planned to stay in the Eufaula Desert all day. Which she hadn't done. Now she was paying the price, namely that she could no longer cuddle with him (and the pain, but that's less bad).

Knife to the Throat: Elenya wouldn't have thought they could defeat Everglade and her two men, but now they were actually lying tied up in front of them. If only there wasn't suddenly the sharp, cold steel at her neck, rendering her motionless, and the demand that they release the Flying Shark Pirates if she wanted to keep her head.

Allergic Reaction: Elenya was on her third date with Arlo right now and she couldn't have been happier. If only there wasn't the sudden itching and burning in her mouth and throat and the feeling of not being able to breathe.

Stabbing: Elenya thought that after fighting the Bandirat Prince, nothing would surprise her anytime soon. That there was now also a Bandirat King, who could speak and who wanted to take revenge on her, was not something she had expected.

Motion Sickness: Elenya never suffered from motion sickness before, but since she was pregnant, she couldn't stand being on a horse anymore. And that, although she was over the morning sickness phase. Maybe she should have told Arlo that a little more precisely before he planned a picnic with a leisurely ride for her.

Doesn't Realize They've Been Injured: Elenya and Remi successfully freed Arlo, Sam and Mint from Ingalls Mine and defeated this strange AI without any significant injuries. Then why were there black dots dancing in her field of vision?

Caught in a Storm: Elenya, loud thunder and a bad expirience with loud crashes don't mix well.

Trapped in a Burning Building: Elenya had been a bit skeptical when she received Huss and Tuss' invitation to their hotpot. But she never imagined that it would end with her being trapped in a burning building.

Twisted Ankle: Elenya's day off didn't go as planned, but maybe it wasn't all bad either.

Vertigo: Elenya's day got off to a bad start, but then revealed a wonderful, albeit surprising, twist for her.

Crush Injury: Elenya was just mining some iron ore when the earthquake hit.

Cradling someone in their arms: Arlo came home late that night to the sight of his wife curled up on the couch, sound asleep and with a much warmer forehead than he would have liked.

Trying to Wake Them Up: Arlo will never forget the day he found his wife Elenya lying at the bottom of the stairs near Central Plaza late at night, a pool of blood around her head.

Bleeding Through the Bandages: Startled, Elenya turned to her garden gate as her favorite voice called her name. Unfortunately, as she did so, her arm caught on a sharp edge of the bus station she was building for South Block, leaving a deep, burning cut.

Anger Born of Worry: Elenya takes a hit for Alro. The latter, of course, is not pleased about this at all.

Bundled Up in Blankets: Elenya really hated this time of the month. Luckily, this time she had an Arlo who made everything a little better.

Marcy's Biggest Fears

In Olivia and Yunan, we are introduced into Marcy Wu's greatest fears. It's a rather interesting look into Marcy's psyche, but it's also a topic where my interpretation differs rather drastically from most fans. Namely i think this is pretty much exclusively a nightmare that showcases Marcy's fears, old an new, rather than her subconscious hopes for the future.

As Marcy is whisked away to her greatest fear, there is a lot to take in from the start.

For one thing, Marcy's reaction to this scenery is very, very clear in that this isn't some random piece of backdrop for this to happen against, this is very clearly a dream that Marcy has had before, many, many times.

Also, this very clearly seems to be a nightmare Sasha has had from before the trio's whisking away to Amphibia, given it specifically showcases Anne and Sasha, not as Marcy knows them now, but how they looked as students back on Earth.

While the context of them rejecting her because she lied and manipulated them and they refuse to even consider forgiving her for it, is a new one, this dream is clearly one Marcy has had for a long, long time.

Which makes logical sense, given that Marcy has always, always been afraid of being separated from them, but given there wasn't a huge, legitimate reason why Anne and Sasha might abandon her back on Earth, clearly this new twist of them not forgiving her for getting them stranded of Amphibia is a development of an old nightmare.

So, if that is the case, it begs one question. If that is the new, much stronger context, then what was the original reason Marcy was excluded in this nightmare of hers?

Well, i think that answer can be found in the symbolic scenery of this nightmare, which seems to have been relatively unchanged from her earlier nightmares.

Much attention have been drawn to this prom poster, and the way it stands out as the ONLY thing on the walls. Other than the sink, this is the only thing in this hallway other than lockers, and it is clearly meant to mean something.

So what is on this poster? Two balloons, both in Sasha and Anne's colors that have the words "PROM?" Over, while "YES OR YES♡" is written beneath said balloons.

The imagery is clearly meant to be romantic, and fully agree that we absolutely meant to read more into it.

However, I've read a lot of takes that thinks this is meant to represent Marcy's hidden romantic feelings for Anne and Sasha.

I disagree heavily with this take. Not in the sense I don't think Marcy have romantic feelings for Anne and Sasha(I can definitly see her having that, especially for Anne), but in the sense that this is what is supposed to be the meaning of this poster.

But this isn't a dream about Marcy's wants, it's about Marcy's fears, her deepest, darkest fears of both yesteryear, and the now, come together into one.

If this was really there to showcase Marcy's love for Sasha and/or Anne and how it brings fear in her, why is the poster so positive about it? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Like, "Prom? Dream on Marmar." With the image of popped baloons alongside broken hearts or something.

Instead it's extremely positive, essentially saying that yes, romance is gonna happen no matter what you want Marcy.

Which begs the question, of why the hell would Marcy fear that?

Well, I think we can find the answer in what happens to Anne and Sasha in this nightmare.

Namely that they fuse into a monstrosity, and confirms her deepest, darkest fears, that they hate her now, and wants nothing to do with her ever again.

That last part is clearly new, but Sasha and Anne showing up in this dream is clearly not. The moment Marcy ends up here, she is terrified and she looks around because she knows she'll find them here, and she does.

However, as the two of them fuse together there is also the way their school coat of arms fuse together into a heart, which along with the poster, clearly hammers in the point that Sasha, Anne, and Romance is clearly linked together in this old nightmare of hers.

But this romance isn't framed in a positive light. Clearly Marcy fears this combining of Anne and Sasha, while the poster, and the new combined heart pretty much saying that Romance is inevitable here. Why would Marcy fear that?

Well, it makes no sense from the perspective of someone who loves her friends and wants them to be happy...

But it makes much more sense when you remember what Marcy's role in this little trio was. She was the mediator, the non confrontational girl who always, always kept her own personal thoughts on any subject that might lead to conflict tight, tight under wraps.

One who's biggest fear by far, is being separated from the only two people in the world who she feels gives her any meaning in her life.

The thing is though, while the new nightmare has a very, very good and harsh event it can play up as far as melodrama will allow, that wasn't really the case back home.

Before Marcy learned that her parents were going to move, Marcy didn't really have much realistic worry about where this friend group of hers was heading. It was stable(if horribly toxic), and unless something major happened, it would have seen unlikely to her that it would change.

However, there was one thing that COULD easily happen, which would upend the group dynamic which Marcy was so, so dependent on. One which though it might benefit Anne and Sasha, would have the side-effect of her playing even more of a background role than she already was, and in the end could lead her to drifting away from her BFF'S as they grew closer together.

Anne and Sasha could hook up. Marcy could become the literal third wheel to this trio, as Anne and Sasha began spending exclusive time together that for obvious reasons would decrease the amount of time they would spend with her.

It is, by far the most realistic way Marcy's greatest fear of her growing separate from Anne and Sasha could come true. Then of course there is Marcy's own potential romantic feelings to consider.

Because if Marcy really did have romantic feelings for either Anne or Sasha, then this really would be one of the worst things that could realistically happen to her.

Both of her best friends hooking up and growing further away from her(At least how she would see it), while she was actually in love with one of them, but too much of a coward to ever risk upsetting the group dynamic by way of a confession?

That is actually a really believable fear, that could easily happen.

At least that's my take on the older, school imagery from this nightmare.

[queen0fm0nsterz]

If we can infer the masks that Six acquires once belonged to previous Ladies in their youth then we can figure out their personalities based on the masks meaning/descriptions altogether: The teacup mask girl probably was too curious for her own good, Scarecrow mask girl was terrified and tried to close her eyes from horrors, Fox Mask girl was rather cunning and brave with skill in exploring, Tengu Mask girl may has accepted her fate in the end to fit in with the horrors

(Give this post a look for context!)

OMG YES! I'm so glad we're on the same train of thought, anon! Let's break these girls down and take a look at the rooms where their boxes are found as well and see if we can get a general idea of what the previous Ladies must have been like.

Teapot

Here's the official description of the teapot mask:

"Six is a natural born explorer, but bad things can happen if she peeks a little too far in. By the looks of things, she might be wearing this Upside-down Teapot a little while longer! "

Just like you said, anon, this girl must have been too curious for her own good, venturing into places she wasn't supposed to be in. I like how they drew a parallel between Six and Teapot, mentioning that they're both explorers.

The room where we can find Teapot's box, and in particular the outfit she's wearing, is quite interesting.

The implication here is that she probably used to be a prisoner of some sort. Plus, to reach her box we actually have to mess with the stairs quite a bit and she's literally stuck in a tiny hole between boxes. This is probably symbolic: the other rooms containing the boxes all use some sort of symbolism, so this could rappresent Teapot feeling trapped.

So to sum this one up: Teapot used to be a curious child, exploring around in places where she shouldn't have. Because of the prison motif we can theorize that she might have felt trapped once she took on the role of the Lady, a role she couldn't find her way out from.

Tengu

Tengu is an interesting one, and I can easily tell you she's my favorite out of the four. Let's take a look at the official description for her mask:

"Fear can take many forms and can live in many worlds. Wearing this Japanese Tengu mask won’t keep Six safe from harm, but it will certainly make her fit in! "

The "live in many worlds" line... possible reference to the fact that the children might come from a different dimention rather than the one LN takes place in? I'm probably overthinking this. Still, I definetely think Tengu not only accepted but also embraced her role as the Lady, unlike Teapot. The implication from this is that she did it out of fear and self preservation. You know what they say - if you can't beat 'em, join them. Still, it doesn't seem like it kept her out of harms way.

I think it's also worth mentioning that Tengu masks are used as decorations because they're believed to frighten bad spirits and bring good luck. Mh.

Moving on to Tengu's room, this one is a BRAIN SCRATCHER.

This isn't actually in Tengu's room but the one right before, I just want you guys to keep in mind that the doodles on the wall were indeed done by nomes. Moving on to her actual room, we start off pretty strong.

GIRL IF THAT ISN'T THE THIN MAN COMING OUT FROM THE TV I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS. Look at him, he's even got his hands in display like he does when he's about to break free in LN 2 and when he kidnaps the toddler in the comics!

He seems to be going after a group of children, the nome and his friends? The implication here is that he kidnapped them.

EDIT: OK HAHAHA SOMEONE IN THE COMMENTS MADE ME NOTICE THAT IT MOST LIKELY IS JUST AN AIR BALOON. So I probably just overanalized this (thank you for commenting btw!! I appreciated that a lot!). Still, I think the hand in the room before belongs to the Thin Man, or possibly even the Ferryman. Or even some other monster entirely. So the kids ran away from somewhere using it. I wonder if they where trying to avoid going on the Maw... mhhh. Anyway, their escape failed.

And here we see the ever present, all seeing Eye, and boom! Suddenly the children have been turned into nomes. That particular eye shape reminded me of the security eye we can find on the Maw. But what caught my attention the most is this:

Lo and behold, a tall, feminine figure, who has also been doodled on, implying that she died, right behind Tengu's box. I'd also like to point out that all the candles in the room have either melted or are about to.

This nome seems to have told us his own little adventure he had with his friends before he was captured by one of the previous Thin Men and brought on the Maw? Only to be turned into a nome by Tengu, a.k.a. one of the Ladies.

To wrap our girl up: Tengu, unlike Teapot, had accepted her fate and embraced her new role as the Lady of the Maw to the fullest in order to survive. It's also possible that she used to be familiar with one of the previous Thin Men, seeing how he's most likely taking the children to the Maw. Unfortunately, the Tengu mask did not protect her from the horrors of the world and she met her end.

Fox

Out of all the presumed Ladies, Fox seems to be the one most similar to Six, at least according to her mask's description:

" With so many nooks & crannies to explore in this unpredictable place, it takes someone special to survive. Six is as brave and cunning a character as you will find, so this Fox mask couldn’t have found a better home! "

It's pointed out how it takes someone special to survive in an enviroment like the one the LN Universe has to offer, which is an obvious nodd to Six, but I think it might also be referring to Fox herself. Now, let's take a look at the room before the one Fox's box is found. Look at the drawing on the wall.

A tall woman surrounded by seven children, who match the seven nomes you have to find in order to get access to this room. Following the reasoning we used before, we'll presume the tall woman is Fox, a.k.a one of the Ladies. Note how a part of her head is missing, almost as if it got ripped away.

We get in her actual room and would you look at that.

The seven nomes, chilling quietly in Fox's room. It's very clear that they're all prefectly comfortable with bring here, see as there's one of the nomes just swinging silently on their little swing. The pillow next to Fox's box has been ripped. The implication I get here is that our girl might have gotten a little too brave and... lost her head.

I don't know about you but this feels like a memorial to me, similar to the one other nomes made for their friends a few rooms ahead.

(This one. Also, the box there contains a Shadow Child figure. Definetely talking about this in a separate post.)

To sum Fox up: she was a cunning, brave, special girl, very similar to Six. Even though she most likely took on the role of the Lady, children seemed to trust her enough to be comfortable in her presence. However, something happened to her that led her to meet a very gruesome end. Possibly her successor killing her? Or maybe she was punished for being too kind to the children? Perhaps, a bit of both.

Scarecrow

There's not a lot to say about Scarecrow, if I have to be honest. Here's the official description of her mask:

" The Maw is filled with awful things hiding in the shadows and around every corner. Wear this twisted old Scarecrow Sack - it might not frighten away the monsters, but at least you won’t see them! "

Ok but let me tell you, the Scarecrow mask reminds me a lot of the sack the Hunter wears. You could say the two are similar in a way: the Hunter wears his sack to prevent himself from seeing the TVs, while Scarecrow wears hers to avoid looking at the monsters she had surrounded herself with. She most likely kept to herself most of the time, just like him.

Her room seems to suggest the same thing.

It's small, only illuminated by a small light and hidden away from the rest of the world; away from the horrors. Now, the ripped portrait of the Pretender behind her? No clue what that could mean, but see as the previous room contained a lot of portraits about the Pretender and her life? The two might be connected, or similar in some way.

Perhaps the Pretender is, deep down, just like Scarecrow was? Scared, terrified even, of the monsters around her and that's why she created her own fake little world where she can play with her ""friends"" without a care in the world? Her name IS the Pretender, after all.

Finally, the last summary: Scarecrow is a scared one, even after taking the role of the Lady she prefers to hide away into her own quarters, turning a blind eye to the horrors she (indirectly?) causes so she won't have to face them.

Ahh, this was a lot, but we got all the girls here! I really wanna hear you guys' thoughts on this one.

This is my Eddie gif for the day:

I love this moment:

Eddie hated Abby from the moment he heard about her.

We don't see Buck talking about her with Eddie, even two years later when they're going to catch a hot air baloon (3x17) he doesn't mention her name. (Needless to say Bobby knows, but he doesn't mention her either).

What we do know is that Eddie knows she hurt Buck, she left him twisting in the wind, all in knots, defensive and prickly.

Even before they became friends, Eddie was predisposed to hate her if only because his own wife left him the same way (for whatever reason) not long before that.

Now two years later, after everything they've been through, having seen Buck in every way from crazy strong and badass to vulnerable in several ways that only made Eddie even more protective of his friend.

(I'm avoiding from putting on my buddie goggles. 😇)

Coming face to face with the one woman who could throw Buck completely out of balance in the middle of a literal train wreck puts Eddie on edge, he's moving from that's The Abby to "oh crap!" to "rude" when she yells at Buck to "Oh shit this is not going to end well."

This is the moment Eddie's mind was made about his best friend's ex. He takes a page out of Hen's book and will hold a grudge until he dies.

That gif up there is Eddie taking a protective step in front of Buck, with a "Good riddance." nod as Abby and her fiancé are loaded into the ambulance and the doors close.

I mean I loved Eddie from the moment he joined the 118, but this moment showed me I could love him so much more. 😍😍😍

[tsukuharuko]

Haruko had never experienced the rush of adrenaline that came with a scare before, not until that alarmed scream cut the air. Her heart jump-started with thunderous beats, goosebumps running down her arms -- until Tamaki immediately pushed her behind him, and there, a different beat quickened her pulse.

It had been an instant, a instinctual gesture, and in a blink Tamaki's white cape flapped around her like a white pair of wings wrapping her in a secure hug. Goosebumps disappeared, a warm flush rushed to her cheeks, a witheld gasp got stuck in her chest. She had felt like that once -- when Fat Gum had saved her, in fact.

And now Tamaki -- or, Suneater -- was having the exact same effect on her...

She was still so mesmerised she didn't notice the second thief rushing past her; she only felt a violent tug, a fit of pain on her shoulder, and before she realised it, her bag wasn't hanging from her arm anymore.

She was so dumbfounded she didn't even manage to protest or scream -- but Tamaki had once again acted before she did, ordering her to find Fat Gum and already chasing down the thief, rushing after danger without hesitation.

A cold shiver ran down her spine again.

"Wait!" She called, terrified. "Tama-- Suneater, don't! It's not worth it!"

But Tamaki was far already, running -- no, gallopping at the spead of light. He had transformed his lower half so rapidly her eyes hadn't even managed to catch the shift -- one second he was on two legs, and the one after he was in a centaur-like form, as naturally as one would breathe.

He was amazing. So much, her heart started racing once again, face warming up once more... Until sense kicked in her mind, and she shook her head, pushing her wonder on a side.

Tamaki was chasing after a villain. She had to find Fat Gum.

"Fat Gum!" She called, wheeling her head left and right as the crowd around her transformed in a turmoil of panicking people.

She finally spotted his large, bright yellow figure in the distance and ran towards it, making her way through anyone who rushed in the opposite direction. When someone bumped against her shoulder, another fit of pain cut through it, but it was tucked in the back of her mind in a beat.

As she approached Fat Gum and Red Riot, she realised they had managed to catch the first thief --he was laying on the ground, wrapped in several twists of what seemed like ribbons from the baloons sold at a stand not too far away. Another hero, tall and blonde, was standing beside the criminal -- Haruko confusedly recalled his name, Best Jeanist, one of her classmates' favourites, but she had no time to congratulate him on his catch. Tamaki was still gone. When she made it towards the heroes, her heart was racing in panic and her breath was short from the worry and the run.

"Fat Gum! It's Tam-- Suneater!" She exclaimed, alarmed. "A thief stole my bag and he rushed after him on his own!" And as she said it, panic quickened her beats even further, and her hands ran over her face.

"Oh no-- What if he gets hurt?? All because of my stupid bag, I should have been more careful... Please, he might need help!" She insisted, giving the large hero a pleading look. "You gotta find him!"

"Mhmm. Comes in handy — people don't really think about it when they're in the middle of a fight, so it gives me an advantage." His smile was wobbly at best, but it was a smile nonetheless.

The smile didn't last long, however, the mess of jumbled compliments battering against his ears was both confusing and ego-boosting. He couldn't sort through them all as quickly as he wanted to, but each one was eventually processes, until he felt his whole body blushing.

She thought he looked good, but more importantly, she claimed he looked the part of a hero. Fat Gum had mentioned before, around the time he first began his internship at his agency, that the right uniform could work wonders. Tamaki was inclined to agree this time around. It had been adjusted and tinkered with over the span of three years, but he quite liked the way his uniform fit now.

For a flicker of a second, pride began to replace his apprehension.

Then she had to point out that there might be people out there that would want to be saved by him. That was difficult to believe, that it did paint a pretty picture in his head. All he could do was daydream at that point, the fact that she confessed to wanting to be saved rattling his mind and giving his poor, fragile heart a reason to stop.

He pictured himself sweeping her off her feet, her body tucked safely in his arms and against his chest as he whisked her away from danger. Imagining her with stars in her pretty eyes wasn't a challenge because he'd witnessed it in reality whenever she laid eyes on Fat Gum. Although, he couldn't rightly deny that her eyes hadn't possessed those same stars well after the larger, rounder hero had left.

No, that couldn't be.

It had to be a lingering effect. Her mind was undoubtedly glued to the man he would eventually sidekick for once he graduated.

"Uh, I — I dunno. I saw them a second ago." He jammed his hand into his hood and rubbed at the back of his neck. Spotting both heroes wouldn't have ben difficult with their sizes and bright colors, but that was hardly where his attention needed to lay when, through the air, came a shrill scream caught his ear.

Instinct kicked in. He scanned the area in the span of a second, and in that time he was quick to tuck Haruko behind him. "Stay there. Don't——!"

He felt a sudden shift behind him, like she had been yanked away from him. Tamaki whipped around, and was quick to notice that the bag she had been carrying with her was gone. A scowl pulled at his upper lip, the thief that snagged her bag running of foot rather than taking off the way the first thief did.

"Find Fat Gum and stay with him." He was there one moment and gone the next, bare feet hitting the ground. But with every heavy footfall, the sound changed. It became higher and sharper, like hooves hitting stone.

All at once, Tamaki's lower-half shifted. His two legs were gone, replaced with the thick and sturdy body of a bovine. Quick as he could be on foot, he was much faster in this form.

Thank you to the creators for their lovely GIFs. These aren't mine. One of them was found on the internet so if it's yours, let me know and I'll credit you❤️

"Mrs. Button?" Your housekeeper stepped into the library of your mansion, her eyes trained on you. You were perched on an armchair, a book spread out on your lap, your finger holding a lit cigarette as you brought it up to your lip, the dried gash on your bottom lip burning slightly every time you tried to speak, so you just motioned to her to come in.

"Mr. Button requests your presence in his study."

You nodded, shutting the book and standing up, stubbing the cigarette into the ashtray and placing the book back on the rack from where you had pulled it out. You wondered what that vile, evil man who your parents had married you off to, for money, was upto now.

You were twenty four, married to this man for two years and still childless, because he was more into filthy street whores than he was into you. But you were okay with it. You would have felt worse if he had wanted your body.

Wrapping your arms around your body and rubbing the sides of your arms, you walked down the well lit hallway, towards the mahogany door that smelt like cigarettes and booze from a distance. You placed yourself by the door and knocked, hearing a grunt from inside. You stepped in, your eyes falling on the vile creature that sat lounged over the desk, his feet sprawled up on the desk, his baloon belly evident from underneath the layer of rich fabric that made up his shirt.

"Where were you last night eh? The maids fucking tell me you went out."

You bit the insides of your cheeks– there was nothing you wanted to do more than to slap the smug look from his face but the fresh gash from two days back still reminded you of what kind of a sick, twisted fuck he was.

"We were out of bread so I– "

"So I what? When I've given you twelve fucking maids to do these things for you, why do you insist on still going out? To whore yourself to men? Why?"

"Seriously, Michael– "

Before you could even reply, he had grabbed the nearest object on his desk, a tiny round decorative item that he had brought from his trip to America and thrown it towards you. Maybe they were your reflexes, but you found yourself ducking at the right time, the tiny object slamming into the wall behind you and breaking into many tiny pieces.

"You fucking bitch." He hissed,licking over his malignant, yellow teeth when there was a knock on the door.

"What the fuck do you want eh?" He yelled, his eyes not moving from yours as now you stood in a corner, your hands curled into fists, kneading into the fabric of your dress as anger coursed through you like lava.

The door opened and one of your husband's henchmen stepped in.

"Boss, Thomas Shelby's here."

Thomas Shelby– the striking blue eyed devil– the only one that managed to irk your husband beyond capacity, that one reason you were thankful to him for. Your husband was so busy planning and plotting to get this Thomas Shelby out of the picture, he didn't focus that much on you, for which you were grateful for.

"Bring the bastard in, of course." Your husband pursed his lips, his eyes flying to you. "Get us a drink now."

"I thought you had twelve fuckin' maids to do this for you." You spat angrily, moving to the liquor cabinet when the door finally opened and the atmosphere in the room changed and the wafting fragrance of a man's eu de cologne spread through your nostrils, a warm welcoming fragrance, that reminded you of anything but your husband's sweaty stink. The man that walked in was a handsome one, a cap placed over his side shaven head, his long coat flowing in after him. He had a cigarette in his grip. If you didn't know better, you wouldn't think this man was dangerous.

"Mr. Button, I see you accepted to meet me at such a short notice eh."

"Sit down, Mr. Shelby. I hear you have a proposition for me."

It was as though you were invisible in a corner but it was your husband's words that pulled you put of your concentrated stare on the man that had just walked in.

"What you fuckin' doing there eh? Can we bloody have our drinks?"

Mr. Button's directed gaze towards you caused the handsome stranger's head to snap towards you and that's when your eyes met his icy, blue ones, and unknowingly, you parted your lips, letting your tongue slide out and moisten your lower lip. There was something electrifying about the eyes; an imaginary pull that seemed to be binding you to him.

Quietly, you walked up to the men, placing your drinks on the desk for either of them and looked up at your husband.

"Can I do anything else for you, dear husband?" You said, sarcastically.

"Yes, just fuck off."

"Gladly." You muttered under your breath, taking a step away to turn towards the door, but not without sharing one last lingering glance with Thomas Fuckin' Shelby.

• ───━━━━─ ● ─━━━━─── •

You could hear the men screaming from your bedroom but you couldn't care. In fact, a part of you found thrill in an imagination that maybe, a bad scuffle will take place and somehow, your husband will be killed in action. You had just stepped out of the shower, wearing nothing but an almost sheer negligee, a towel wrapped around your head and a loose fitting robe that hadn't been knotted up in the center. You could hear the sound of the motorcar from your window so out of curiousity, you walked up to the window and fixed yourself to it.

You could see the leader of the Peaky Blinders get into his motorcar with the men that had accompanied him, the car slowly pulling off the driveway. You bit your lip, too hard, drawing out blood, the metallic taste spreading in your mouth. You wanted him to look up at the window once and as if he had read your thoughts, his eyes flew up to the window, catching you staring at him. You didn't realize why, but a smile broke out against your lip, your palm latching to the glass pane of the window, as you watched him drive away.

It was almost two minutes later when you heard the sound of the motorcar again, and this time when you looked, relief spread through you when you saw your husband and a few of his men leave in their cars. At least now you had the house to yourself, atleast for a few hours. Usually when he left around midnight, he wasn't back until 9 or 10 the next morning.

You took off the towel, drying off your wet hair that were now clinging to your body, droplets of water running down your neck. You wrapped the robe around your frame, pulling out a cigarette from the box and lighting it as you stepped out of your room and walked down the hallway to the library on the ground floor– the only room in this godforsaken mansion that didn't feel alien to you– the only room that you found yourself spending most of your time in.

The minute you stepped into the hallway, a shiver ran down your spine as the chilly wind hit you, causing you to realize that the connecting door to the garden from the library was wide open.

"Hello? Janice? Is that you?" You called out, hoping to find your housekeeper trot inside, with a broom in her hand but no one answered. So, shrugging your shoulders in an incoherent manner, you walked up to the glass door, bolting it shut from the inside when you heard it, the unmistakable sound of a footstep creaking against the wooden floorboards somewhere, in the library, with you.

A sudden fear gripped you, you knew your husband had many, many enemies and it wouldn't be unusual for one of the crazy ones to have sneaked into your home and was now hiding in the library, somewhere, alone with you. You quickly grabbed a candlestick, curling your fingers tighter against the iron, taking a small, yet cautious step towards the library. Your eyes scanned the book racks, trying to spot anyone hiding in between them, your mind alert when suddenly, you saw him.

He was just a shadow, lurking in a dark corner at the back of your library, shielded by the last book rack, but you could see that he was facing you.

"I can see you, you know." You murmured in your husky voice, ready to strike him with the candlestick when he finally stepped out from the dark, into the light, your eyes now adjusting to see who he was.

"You." Was all you could manage to say, your heart suddenly palpitating, your knees already feeling like jelly. There stood the man you had secretly been sharing glances with all day, right in front of you, within your arms reach.

"My husband's not here, Mr. Shelby, this visit of yours is very inappropriate." You commented, half heartedly, meaning no word of it.

"Yet you made no fuss, Mrs. Button. When you could have screamed and alerted everyone in your home." Thomas Shelby's lips held the slightest of smirks against its corners, but his eyes were emotionless and bland.

You didn't loosen your grip over the candlestick, your eyes following every movement that the man made, as you saw him pull out his box of cigarettes and nip one between his teeth. His other hand moved to the pocket of his coat, pulling out a box of matches but somehow, it fell from his hand and fell to the floor, settling right in between you and him.

You took a step closer, your eyes still on him as you bent and grabbed the box, before he could. You then pulled out a match, lighting it and stepped closer towards him to help him light the end of his stick, his features appearing even more glorious under the pale flickering light of the match.

"I saw you leave in your car."

"You should be more careful with that door." He pointed towards the back entrance of your library that led to the garden. "Any lad can get in through the back and not all of them will be here for– "

"For what, Mr. Shelby?" You cut him off abruptly.

You could feel a weird, tingly sensation in your fingers. You wanted to reach out and hook your fingers on the fabric of his coat, take it off. So you did. His eyebrow shot up in surprise for he hadn't expected you to be so forward. You tugged slightly on his coat and smiled, "We have a fireplace in here that should be warm enough, Mr. Shelby, I don't think you'll need your coat. May I?"

You helped him slide out of his coat first before holding it in your hands and making your way to the coat hanger and hanging it over. Your eyes fell on the library door and like a stealthy cat, you quickly swiped the door shut, trying to hide this little whatever this was from the employees of your house.

"Care for a drink Mr. Shelby?"

He hummed in response, his eyes fixed on you, moving slightly lower and then back up again. It was funny how this one act of vulgarity didn't seem to phase you, and in fact you even liked it. You slowly turned away from him, walking up to the other side of the room, your bare feet grazing against the carpeted floor on this side. You pushed yourself up on your toes, trying to pull out the bottle of whiskey from the cabinet, making sure to give him a good view of you from behind. Your fingers clasped against the neck of the bottle as you pulled it down from the top rack and poured it carefully into two glasses, taking them back to him.

He gladly accepted the drink, his fingers almost brushing with yours when he took the glass, causing shivers to run down your spine. You knew it– the game that he was playing – intentionally touching you so very subtly, knowing how you were actually enjoying the flirting.

"What's a woman of your likes doing with a man like him?"

You could sense the distaste behind his words so you just parted your lips and let out a weak sigh before taking a sip of your whiskey.

"Call it a punishment for being born into a greedy family. Sold me off to the monster for some good pounds like I was a mare." You commented.

"Why didn't you run away? You could have gone to London, or even to America."

"It's not that easy, not when you're married to a gangster. You out of all men should understand that." You said, relishing the bitter yet sweet taste of the whiskey on your taste buds.

"Mr. Shelby, enough about me. I wanted to know the reason for your visit. I know you're not here to meet Michael." You slurred.

You saw the man's eyebrow twitch but you couldn't determine if it was out of amusement or something else. After a lingering minute of silence, you watched as he downed the whiskey in one go, almost slamming the glass back against one of the racks.

"Can we skip past the formalities now, Mrs. Button? I think you know why I am here."

You couldn't deny it. You and this man had a sizzling chemistry. There was a raw desire spurting inside you, that wanted nothing more to be satiated. You could feel it– the sexual tension, the need to touch each other, the need to feel him touch you at places you had forgotten how a man's touch felt like.

You nodded.

Thomas Shelby's hands grabbed you, his hands locking around your waist as he pulled you into his embrace and slowly turned around, so you were now pinned against the rack, his front pressing into you. You could feel his slow, ready grinding against your core, causing your body to erupt into a sensation of desires, like small electric short circuits everywhere. You parted your lips and let out a low moan, only to be shut up when his lips slammed against yours in a needy way. You were a believer, a devout Christian by faith, you knew the temptations the Devil was capable of and you knew that Thomas Shelby was nothing more than the devil in disguise. But this didn't deter you from wanting to taste into the fruit of sin.

Your hands curled around his head, your fingers latching into the back of his head, tugging at his hair, your mouth struggling to keep pace with the sweet assault on them. His pupils dilated due to his lust for you, he kissed you, ravaging your lips, biting and tugging at them in the most animalistic way.

"Fuckin' hell." You cursed as his teeth almost bit into the gash on your lip, the one where your husband had mercilessly beat you a few nights before, the taste of your own metallic blood in your mouth. Maybe Tommy tasted it too, for he immediately pulled away, his hands still holding you in place.

"Did he do this to you?"

You nodded.

"Come with me then. Leave that man." Those were the words he said to you as he grabbed you by your hand and dragged you to the desk in the corner.

"And go where? He'll find me. You know I can't fucking do that." For once, you could feel yourself weaken, the sudden realization of it all seeping through you, that you were trapped in a life full of torture and abuse and there was nothing you could do about it.

"I'll think of something, until then –" he brought his palm up to your cheek, his thumb brushing over the gash on your lip that was bleeding now.

"Thomas– " You moaned.

Maybe the way his name rolled out of your lips was too much for him to bear, he literally started ripping your robe off in an attempt to free you of it while you hands fervently ran against the buttons of his shirt to get it off. Clothes were ripped off and the library floor was stocked with piles of discarded clothes, both of you naked and beautiful under each other's eyes, by the desk by the fireplace.

Tommy's hands grabbed your bare arse, kneading it lightly until he barked at you to turn over and you complied. You felt vulnerable, bent on your own desk with nothing to cover your modesty, his eyes snaking over your back, your arse but you liked it. So much so that you were horrified if someone was to hear you, not because of what your husband would do to you, but because of how you would have to part with this man right now when you wanted nothing more than to feel him inside you.

"For fucks sake, Thomas, I need you now. I don't want anyone to– "

"Your wish is my fuckin' command." Was all he said. That was all the warning you received.

And then you screamed in a sweet, pleasurable pain when he thrust his hard cock into you, making you grab the edge of the table while his nails dug into your hips. A series of curses followed and soon, you found yourself enjoying the way his cock was ravaging your core. His pace inside you was relentless, his hits merciless, hitting you at just the right spot every time, causing you to just sneak closer to your edge with every hit.

"Fuck," Tommy grunted in a low voice, sliding in and out of you, the sound of your skin slapping against his echoing through the library.

"Fucking hell, Thomas– " You seethed, holding on to the desk as you felt your eyes roll at the back of your head, pleasure bursting inside you with every movement of his.

"You feel so good." He slurred, his voice thick with lust and desire. It was like music to your ears, a music you didn't want to stop listening to. But you also knew that all good things often come to an end. "Come for me now, love. Come on." His voice commanded you, making you tip over your edge.

And the command was all it took for you to come crashing down, your body trembling as your pussy clenched around his cock, shooting sparks all over your body. And after a few unsteady, light thrusts, you felt him twitch inside you as a final signal that he was there too, his warm seed spilling into you as he moaned something incoherent that you couldn't make out.

He stayed like that for a few silent seconds, both of yous erratic breathing empowering each others until you finally felt him slide out of you. You stood up, leaving a trail of his cum rolling down your thigh as you struggled to put your underwear on and then grabbed your robe silently while Tommy pulled his pants up and started rummaging for his torn shirt that had almost been ripped apart by you.

You bit your lip awkwardly now; a sudden void filling up your heart.

Thomas Shelby had gotten what he wanted, and maybe he would never look your way again.

Of course, this couldn't mean more than a one time thing to him, could it?

Suddenly, the sound of a match lighting brought you back into reality but you were startled to find him standing inches apart from you, his palm on your cheek, his index finger rubbing gently over your gash.

"You alright love?"

You gave him a weak smile and nodded.

You parted your lips to reply but a loud bang on the door caused you and Thomas to turn towards the door.

"Mrs. Button, is everything alright in there?" Janice called out.

"It-It is, Janice, is there anything you want?"

"Just wanted to let you know your husband's home."

"Fucking hell, looks like our time is up, Mr. Shelby," Your eyes flew to Tommy, as the curse escaped your mouth. He looked unbothered."I'll join him in a minute." You called out to Janice.

Tommy didn't say anything else. As quietly as he had come in, you saw him walk towards the door that led to your garden and you followed him. It was only when he reached the door and you unbolted it for him, did he turn and look into your eyes and speak.

"Until next time, Mrs. Button."

"Call me (Y/N). I don't want to be linked with that man. At least not with you around."

"Let me rephrase it then, until next time, (Y/N), who knows it might even be at your dear husband's funeral."

That was the last words that he spoke to you that night before you saw him sneak out through your garden until he wasn't in sight anymore and you stood there by that door, smirking inwardly at his words.

(What do you guys feel about a second part to this? Let me know?)
