December Writing Challenge

Day 20 - Gift giving

Girlies, I came down with a cough today. We don’t know what is it yet bcause I was at a work party on friday - huh, girly what - it wasnt even a good party. I feel like i was ran over by a panzer. I also admittedly drank juice out of the fridge and left the house without a scarf. guilty

It is what it is, I will try to come up w smth to blame this on someone else lest I need to admit sometimes I act dumb.   

I wrote this piece beforehand, but just the main plot (which is sex) and did my best to edit it. It’s not very good haha

I can’t believe I’m doing Max Wünsche this dirty

you have been warned

or warmed.

or something along these lines.

Max and Minna sat side by side on the couch, enthusiastically opening their gifts, anticipation beaming brightly in their eyes. Soft white snow has begun to fall gracefully like angels wings outside the frosted window of the house; a house warmed by heat from the log fire and from the newly discovered love of the couple currently inhabiting it's living room.

Max managed to open his present first; he had ripped his way carelessly through the skilfully wrapped, brightly coloured Christmas paper.

"Wow!" he exclaimed with great awe, his eye filled with surprise. "How did you…"

The amber light shined on the aged American whiskey, a rarety to get a hold on during these difficult times.

“It’s my little secret. Don’t ask.’

A few minutes later Minna had gotten into her present too. A bright smile broke across her face as she gazed at the glint of silver chain with a heart-shaped locket.

"Oh Max…" she gasped. Inside the face of her parents beamed back at her.

‘I know you miss them. Their memory brings a smile to your face.’

‘I just smiled when I gave you your gift.’

"True, but I would still like to see you smile more often."

"I smiled earlier… when you kissed me," she prompted.

"Oh, yes so you did." Max took the hint and leaned down, softly brushing his warm firm lips against hers. 

She played the game and smiled up at him, passion filling her eyes. He pulled her closer with the arm that was over her shoulder and cupped her cheek with the other. Kissing her again, he slid his tongue across her lower lip.

Minna opened her mouth to grant his tongue entry whilst reaching up and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him tightly against her. 

She had often fantasized of how it would be between them, how he would taste. She found herself engulfed by the smoky, earthy flavour of whiskey mixed with raw masculinity.

Max allowed himself to feast at her as he gently angled her head with his hands; she tasted faintly of wine and chocolate. However floating just beneath those he could taste the essence that, even though he'd never tasted it before, he could only uniquely describe as hers and hers alone.

As Minna continued to meet him kiss for kiss, she felt the tentative movement of his hand down her arm, slowly trailing along the soft fabric there, before moving carefully to the underside of her breast. She moaned, inadvertently breaking their oral contact. 

Her eyes slowly opened, meeting his. Her eyes were unfocused and dilated from her swirling desires, passion clearly evident in her delicate features. Her mouth, pink and moist was parted ever so slightly, revealing her teeth.

He smiled wickedly, and brought his warm hand around front just a bit more. He cupped the ample swell of her breast through the silkiness of her dress. He ran his thumb across her nipple with a gentle stroke. 

Minna's head lolled back on her shoulders and her mouth opened more as she gasped loudly. The long tresses of her hair fell gently down onto her shoulder blades. 

She was in a state of bliss. 

Max played her like a fine instrument, causing her to float weightlessly to the heavens.

Max smiled one again, running his fingers across her now fully hard nipple once again, this time with a bit more force. The response she was giving him was causing his desire to burn out of control a fact evident by his ever hardening arousal, which was becoming increasingly noticeable.

"Oh God..." she muttered under her breath.

Max pushed the thick veil of hair which obscured the curve of her neck out of the way, with his hand. Then with his warm moist mouth, he began to nip, lick and kiss his way up the curves, dips, and lines of her arched neck. 

"Max!" she purred loudly as her mouth fell open widely, and shallow pants escaped from her mouth. She was swirling, lost and out of control in a hot sea of sensation. Nothing she had ever experienced before had prepared her for this.

Max was losing control; her moans and gasps engulfing him and arousing him more than any woman before. Lust was driving him out of his mind, his blood burning with a fire he knew only she could quench. It took all that he had to keep from pushing her back onto the sofa and taking her there and then. 

Reluctantly he pulled away slightly.

"Wha... I...Don't stop..." she pleaded, her voice quite faint from his ministrations.

"If we don't stop, I can't be held responsible for my actions," he told her, flashing her a weak smile, his eyes shadowy and distant. 

Minna glanced down; the bulge in his pants was clearly displaying his predicament.

"Who said I was going to hold you responsible?" she asked, unable to take her eyes of his arousal.

"I don't want to rush you," Max tried to explain.

"What if I want to be rushed?" She began to slowly undo the smooth buttons of his shirt. Her steady hand progressed until the offending garment was hanging off his shoulders. She placed her small cool hands on his warm flesh and began to memorise every detail of the man before her.

Max's head fell back as a new surge of arousal overcame him. His blue eyes darkened by lust met hers.

"Are you sure?" The glimmering tree light in the corner reflected in their gazes. 

He was expecting her to say no, she could see it.

Minna stood and for a moment, Max thought he had blown it, but she surprised him. She reached behind her and lowered the short zip at the back of her dress and elegantly removed it and he suddenly forgot how to breath again. 

Then, standing there in nothing but her knickers and thigh-highs, she looked him straight in the eye.

"I'm sure," she replied.

They stood facing each other before the heat of the fireplace, and Max raised his hands to caress her face. 

She leaned into his touch as he drew them down along her neck. His thumbs jostled as her pulse coursed beneath them. The soft skin of her shoulders; the planes of her collarbone; places to be explored with mouth and fingers.

He buried his face in her hair, inhaling traces of feminity. He lifted the strands of hair, revealing the curve of her neck. His lips and tongue traced a line to her mouth. Swollen lips opened for him, murmuring her arousal.

Once more, she slid her hands inside his open shirt, feeling the taut skin beneath. The heat and the pounding of his heart left her breathless. She pushed the shirt of his shoulders and down his arms, exposing him completely. Needing to feel his skin against hers, she took a step towards him.

Standing in front of the light coming in through the fireplace, creating a festive golden light cascading upon them, Minna finished undressing her lover.

Once they were both naked, he pushed her down to the lush rug.

He glided his mouth along her throat, each sucking kiss drawing her into a firestorm of passion. His hands cupped her breasts as he raised one to his lips and took in the hard pink bud as he teased and lightly pulled the other with his fingers.

He stopped to look at her, his Minna. His mouth left her skin and she arched to meet him. Her head was thrown back. Her eyes were dark, unfocused pools; a low moan came from her throat.

His tongue began to trace a very light line down one breast, flicking gently at her nipple as he passed it. Past the deep curve of her belly, he showered her skin with light kisses. Soon his hands were on her thighs, parting them. More feather kisses on the silky flesh from her knee to her curls. He moved to her other thigh, his lips pressing harder, teeth nipping at that sensitive skin. 

She arched up, moving towards his mouth. He brushed his lips across her, his tongue tastng her sweet essence.

His tongue snaked towards her centre, swirling; once, twice, three times.

His attentions brought her to a fast, startling climax. Her body shook; she cried out. He could feel her quaking beneath his lips. He held her hips and pressed her closer to him, determined to make her pleasure last as long as possible. She called out his name and he moved with her until she stilled.

He moved up to meet her gaze, offering his wet lips. She put her arms around him and kissed, licked, nipped that smile, tasting her own desire. He gazed into her eyes; she was blushing. He looked at her questioningly.

"You are so beautiful," he told her, wrapping her in his arms and softly kissing her brow, eyes, nose.

Minna felt his hard, silken length pressing against her hip. She reached to caress him, running her hand up and down, squeezing him gently. She pulled him towards her. He moved obligingly, insinuating his knees between her thighs. He rubbed himself against her nether lips, parting them. He slowly entered and then withdrew. He didn't take his eyes from her face, gauging her reaction.

Her lips trembled. A gasp caught in her throat. Pleasure was inscribed on the inky depths of her eyes.

He pushed forward again.

She felt him stretching her and she relaxed to take him in. Her heat surrounded him and he thrust all the way in. She held him so tightly, with her pale thighs wrapped around his. Max put his hands under her behind, and drove deeper. He pressed his lips to hers and matched each thrust with his tongue. Then he slowed and stopped moving entirely.

Rising on his forearms, he looked at her and swept the hair from her forehead. His voice was a throaty whisper. "I want to make love to you all night."

"That's quite an ambition; do you have a plan?" she murmured, surprised that she was still able to speak.

"Yes. Patience."

This time he entered her from behind. His measured strokes were pressing deep within her. His long arms encircled her. His hands explored her skin, cupped her breasts, teased her nipples. She threw her head back allowing him to shower hot kisses up and down her neck. One hand moved lower to her inflamed centre. He strummed her and she moved against him. Back and forth.

His mouth was on her neck, travelling up and down and along her shoulder. She craned her neck around and they locked in a deep kiss. Feeling the fire inside her growing quickly out of control, she covered his fingers, vibrating against her sensitive nub, with her own and pressed. She came hard, her body straining against his arms until she was heavy and still.

"Are you trying to kill me?" she pants.

"Maybe just weaken you a little."

She heard the teasing challenge in his voice. "Weaken? We'll see who's weak!"

She turns and roughly threw him down on the floor.

Her hands moved over him. It was her turn to tease his skin and run her hands down his stomach. She caressed his thighs; massaging, rubbing, spreading them, before moving her hands down over the length of his cock, caressing his sac and behind, to the very base of him. She kissed his hip bone and moved her head lower licking and sucking at the tense muscles of his inner thighs. Her mouth trailed up along the length of him. Opening her mouth, she took in his length and slid her mouth up and down, her fingertips echoing her lips.

Max moaned. She sent him rolling between abandon and control. He let her stoke the fire of his passion and then allow it to recede. He tried to roll away to get out of her before he came, but she was holding his hips and, really, it was a halfhearted attempt at best.

She felt him tense, the pressure was building in him. Much to Max’s relief, she stopped. 

"Thank God!" he rasped.

Swiftly, he entered her again and pressed his length in. Her inner walls gripped him tightly once more. He buried his head in her hair, and let the fire engulf him completely. She raised her hips to meet each thrust.

"Harder, harder," she urged.

Her arms around his back were slick with sweat. She felt herself approaching the edge for a third time. Max sensed it and consigned himself to the fire. His rythm falters as he grasps her hips, leaving angry bruises on the porcelain skin, ramming into her trembling body. 

Minna screams into the fur throw, coming undone again. Max follows her by the second, his hot seed filling her, seeping out of her and running slowly down her thighs. He rolled off her and gathered her to him; they held each other tightly, their legs entwined.

"Minna, that was… you were…" He rested his forehead against hers, unable to complete his sentence. His meaning was crystal clear though and Minna planted a soft kiss on his lips.

"Merry Christmas, Max."

He kissed her to punctuate his point and she smiled bashfully at him.

"Mmm. I've just received the best present ever." 

[haikyupid]

may i order one mini matchup please (hehe) i would like to be matched with a male character,, As for the cartoon character,, probs cinnamoroll (but honestly i love all sanrio babies theyre all amazing) ✨,, my favourite pastry? maybe apple puff pastries???,, uHm oh as for my ✨drink of choice✨ probably bubble tea,, green tea no milk,,less sweet WITH pearls (is that too specific im sorry darling). If i saw oiks rn? hug him 10/10. idk i feel like he needs one AHHA -pancakes 💕

tooru: hug me. please. i’d love that 🥺

— [ ♡ ] i match you up with . . .

≺ i couldn’t chose between kenma, yams, suga, and tooru for the longest time 💀 forgive me ; but i have now decided to chose kenma bcause of the apple pastry part, but honestly you could go with any of the other ones mentioned

≺ you’ll become his personal plushy, but only in private ; he would sometimes just snake his arms around you and pull you on top of him once he finishes gaming, and bury his nose in your hair before falling asleep in that position (don’t even try leaving bcause his hug will just get tighter in response)

≺ hugs, hugs, and hugs ; you’d hug him in public and he’d straight up just have a small smile on his lips, he won’t hug you back though, he’d just relish himself in your warmth ; probably ends up smacking lev’s arms when the first year starts joking around about kenma going soft

≺ apple pies and apple puff pastries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner 😗✌️ you two just don’t give a f with the amount of sugar being consumed ; even though your lunches legit consist of sugar only, your drinks are actually quite normal compared to the actual food since you two either opt for either plain water or unsweetened tea

≺ melts when you suddenly crawl on to his lap with you facing him, and you just wrap your hands around his waist and bury your face in his neck ; he truly enjoys and cherishes those silent but very intimate moments with you the most

≺ when it’s time to part ways, he always gives you a chaste kiss on the forehead and his lips would linger for a second or two on the spot, before giving you a quick on the lips, and then saying ‘see you tomorrow’ bcause you will see him even if it’s just in game

— [ ❝ you smell good. ❞ sjsnsjsk he says it a lot bcause you always end up just giving him hugs and cuddles all the time ]

Thank you requesting, bby 🥺💛 I know that this took sooo long, but I really had a tough time picking between the four. I hope you enjoyed this nonetheless!

I was also lowkey starving for some Kenma content when making this, ahahaha, but that’s not the point.

[theresia]

CHAPTER BY CHAPTER NOTES

“1″: BEGIN BLACK SWORDSMAN

Guts is fucking a demon lady.  Demon lady moves to kill, but Guts blows her head off.  

The men of Koka Castle are harassing Puck, who’s tied up.  They’re throwing knives at him in a bar.  All the bar people are put off, but do nothing, because “nobody can touch the men of Koka Castle”

Guts thinks that’s BS and shoots them all up w his arrows.  He tells the lackies to tell the Koka Castle dude that the “Black Swordsman has come”.  He then proceeds to cut ppl the fuck up w Dragonslayer

HEAP OF RAW IRON STATEMENT 1

Puck follows Guts out, kinda peeved that Guts didn’t help him more.  Guts slaps him away, as per usual Guts

Guts is taken captive by a bunch of guards and is cut up in a dungeon for a lil while.  (He doesn’t make a sound.)  The Lord Mayor pauses the whipping.  He tells Guts that because he murdered the men the town will probably be fucking demolished.  “You have no idea how horrible the leader of those men is … no one can kill him… at least, not anyone human.”  Guts is like “ya so thats why u made a deal w him right?  thats why ur feeding him wagons of women and children?”  The Lord Mayor is like fuck u and has the big guy continue torturing him.

The Snakey Dude is informed of Guts.  He gets kinda excited

The Lord Mayor goes to beg forgiveness from the Snakey Dude.  It does Not go well.

Cut to Guts unable to move in the dungeon.  THERE’S DEMON FETUS!  Guts is freaked the fuck out and fetus cries and squiggles away.  Now it’s Puck’s turn.  He’s got the keys.  Guts has is usual rant about not wanting to be touched, but Puck convinces him and uses his fairy dust to heal Guts.

Fairies have a strong sense of duty and a lot of powers.  They can sense emotional energies.

Puck asks about Guts’s brand, which he does not take kindly to.  Guts is chill about being imprisoned tho - he’s ok with the castle dudes coming to kill him burning down the whole town.  He’s gonna kill Snakey Dude and as long as he does, that’s all he cares about.

Puck is rlly upset by Guts’s weaklings-should-die-perspective n leaves Guts in the cellar.  Guts self harms? He scratches his arm? And then his brand lets him know demons are on the way.  He freakily licks the blood off his own fingers.

Rampage of the Snakey Dude time!  He’s drinking blood straight from the child!  Guts pops out from under a pile of bodies and starts shootin up the swarm.

“To think that a mere mortal can oppose us isn’t anything but folly!!”

Guts gets bodyslammed by Snakey Dude’s tail.  Realistically Guts would die here

Guts blasts Snakey Dude’s head off and cleaves him in half.  Snakey Dude doesn’t know where the Godhand is so Guts leaves him to burn.

Puck watches Guts walk away through the burning city.

“2″

Puck finds Guts again with the help of a white bird.  Puck says he wants to join Guts on his journey because all the monsters and shit are interesting, but Guts has another one of his “weaklings should die” tangents.  Guts leaves Puck in the dust.

It’s raining and Guts is walking down the road.  That Old Guy and his Daughter roll up in their carriage and invite him aboard. He tells them its a bad idea but they’re like “We’ve got God so we’ll be ok” so he’s like “fine w/e”.  Puck is there

They talk about Guts’s sword and shit.  “I use it for my cooking” Guts says.

Talk about mercenaries and living by the sword.  Old Guy finds it distasteful and talks about his dead nephew.  Guts thinks that even though he’s dead, he died doing what he wanted, so he was probably happy.

Guts goes to sleep.  He has a dream about running through a corridor with high walls… the ground is watery… he’s being chased.  He’s balls nude.  He steps on a spike and empales his foot - and a huge Fetus child looms over him. He screams.

He awakes.  An incubus is giving him bad dreams and feeding off his energy.

His brand alerts him to the fact that there are definitely shittons of demons all over the fucking place.  The skeleton guys.  Colette gets stabbed bcause she cares for horses too much

While Guts is busy fucking up a bunch of skeletons, Colette’s body is possessed and she beheads her dad.  Guts is shocked by this young girl…’s body.  She stabs Guts.  Guts plays baseball with her torso.

Puck is very upset and cries while Guts fights the skellies until dawn.

They look at Colette’s body.  Puck tells Guts it’s not his fault, and Guts busts a gut.  Cue Guts being a dick

Voices start to speak to them… claiming ownership of Guts and his body… and his heart.  Guts shoots the air.

“This is the world Guts lives in…” Puck remarks to himself… and follows Guts.

“3″

opens with the beheading of a lady.  The Lord Mayor is trying to appease Slug Guy.  

Guts PICKS UP THE HEAD and looks at it wtf Guts??  The brother of the lady beheaded cries and makes a scene while guards harass him.  A guard asks Guts for the head and Guts spits in his face.  Guts throws the head at Slug Guy and he catches it.  The severed head has a brand on it.

Slug Guy takes this as a declaration of war and crushes the head. Guts wanders off but is pursued by soldiers who say some shit about heretics.  Guts slices n dices when they make a move at him.

Puck shows up again to help Guts out.  Just after, Lord Zondark threatens to bust up Guts’s sword with his war hammer but Guts has soo been through this shit before.  He busts Zondark’s helmet off, leaving his face pierced with all kinds of shrapnel.  Guts presses his face into the ground by stepping on his head. He kicks him in the face and wanders off, leaving the mutilated Zondark to cry “kill him!  Kill him!”

Guts follows the Ugly Old Guy into his cellar of wonders.  When the old guy asks him questions, Guts shoves him to the ground.  Guts asks the questions.  It comes to light that the nasty old man is missing a leg and like half his face…because apparently mr Sluggo ate them…  and also Old Man has a behelit in his cellar!

“4″

Guts starts to choke out the old fucker, but he’s like “it’s not my behelit!  I stole it from the count!”

The ugly fuck’s name is VARGAS.  He explains how the Count used to just be a rude fucker, but ever since he got the behelit 7 years ago he’s downright nasty - his inquisition of heretics is just an excuse to gather up more bodies to torture and fuck and eat.  he ate Vargas’s wife and sons, and also half his face.  Vargas took a drug to fake his own death and slipped out of the castle with the behelit.  

Guts explains what a behelit is!  “a key that opens a portal to another world that overlaps with their own… it summons demons from that world that have been manipulating the dark side of human history since ancient times.  The Godhand.”

Back to Lord Zondark, who’s losin his mind with his fucked up face.  Sluggo comes in and tells everyone to get lost and leave Zondark (who’s bashing his head against a pillar) and he alone.

Sluggo tongues his Daemon into Zondark.  Sluggo tells Zondark that it’s time for him to enact his revenge..

Cut to Puck who’s studying Vargas’s behelit.  Guts berates Puck for calling it art and tells him that it’s a living tool, but he doesn’t know how it works.

Guts asks where Sluggo got the behelit - apparently from travelling merchants years back who knew nothing about it themselves, but thought it came from the east.

Vargas tells Guts to take a secret entrance into the castle and avenge him, but he makes the mistake of touching Guts, which Guts SHITS over.  He says he looks like a monster etc etc, Puck gets mad - but Vargas says as long as Guts kills Count Sluggo, he doesn’t care.

Just then, Zondark busts in!!  Guts gets busted up too.  Guts immediately understands that he’s not human anymore.  He slices one of Zondark’s arms off… but it immediately starts to regrow.  Zondark starts to whip his axe around so fast it can’t be seen… but Guts still manages to block every blow.  Guts moves to strike and cuts off Zondark’s OTHER arm, and a large part of his head.

Sluggo’s Daemon crawls out of the skull hole.  He gives a little speech about how great Guts is, but he’s only mortal, so he’s fucked.  Then Slugdark gets crushed by rubble anyway.  Guts, Puck, and Vargas escape.  Guts demands the behelit and then just, leaves.

Puck feels bad and tells Vargas that it’s important to keep living.  He tells him that living for the future is more important than trying to avenge the past.

Puck leaves, and then an eely arm slithers out of some water and grabs Vargas.  Eyes in the darkness.

Puck is mad at Guts for being mean, as always.  Guts says allying with the maggoty creep would just lead to his own demise.  Same w Puck.

There’s word that there’s going to be another execution as a warning.  Puck flies off.  Guts thinks on how Vargas talked about how Sluggo took his eye… took his wife and sons… how he was nothing but a prisoner of fear.  Guts gets so emo he punches some bricks out of a wall.

Vargas is going to be executed.  Sluggo figures that Guts has the behelit.  Puck is trying to figure out how to stop the execution.  He sees Guts and gets excited!!  But Guts only came to watch him die.

They have a long dialogue about Guts and his motivations and why he’s such a horrible asshole.  Puck thinks Guts is actually just afraid, afraid of admitting he’s fighting a losing fight too, that he came for a better reason.  Guts threatens him and he flies off.

Guts questions whether or not he should feel compassion.

Puck tries to interrupt the execution himself.  He fails.  Vargas makes a call for the Black Swordsman to kill Sluggo and hold up his head before them all.  Vargas is beheaded.

Guts slips away, making sick sounds.  He sees… fetus child.  With Vargas’s “face”.  He is, of course, freaked the fuck out.  He thinks on Vargas’s dying words.

Sluggo is thinking on Guts’s absence.

Some dudes are out in the night tossing Vargas’s body on the corpse pile.  Guts shows up and kills both of them, telling Vargas’s lifeless head that he won’t fail like he did.

Being out at night at a corpse pile of those executed isn’t a good idea, as Guts learns.  He gets possessed by an angry spirit, because of course.  However, he steels himself and falls to the ground.  He refuses to have anything in common with deadass spirits, even revenge.  He’s gonna kill the Count Sluggo with his very own flesh and blood.

“5″

Puck is being held captive by Sluggo.  He’s crying about Vargas - he feels guilty that he couldn’t save him.  He imagines his fate where he’ll be put in a cake.  

Puck is presented to a mysterious pretty girl.  She’s Sluggo’s kid!  Puck is a gift to her, Theresia.  Sluggo tries to touch Theresia and she shudders and shrieks. Sluggo is very put off and in a horrible mood after his own kid recoils from him.

Slugdark slithers up to Guts.  He is back and more slug than ever.  Guts remarks on his beauty.  He pumps Slugdark full of arrows.  Slugdark whips his arms around a lot but Guts dodges.  Guts moves to strike and cuts Slugdark up.  He thinks he’s won - but Slugdark’s tendrils come back with a vengeance.  Slugdark makes some comment about how Guts can’t kill him unless he cuts off his head - and in the very next move, the head has been severed.

The half-head clings to Dragonslayer, trendril-ing its way up it towards Guts, attempting to feed off of him.  Guts flattens it between a brick wall and Dragonslayer.

The dying head whispers that the remainder, Sluggo, is waiting for Guts upstairs.  Guts is weak and weary from bloodloss - but he pledges to trudge on until he kills Sluggo.

Back to Puck and Theresia in the castle.  Theresia tells puck that she knows what it’s like to be caged and that Puck can come out.  She tells Puck how her mother died when she was but a baby, but that her father, Sluggo, told her it was a group of heretics that did it, sacrificing her alive.  She says that Sluggo may have been a tough ruler, but he was loved by all, even as a father… but then he got worse and started hunting down heretics like nothing else mattered - and now nothing else does matter, because it’s like he enjoys hurting people.  It’s like he’s not even a person.

Cut to Guts who has snuck into the castle.  The Lord Mayor is there with a ton of men who warn him that he’ll be killed if he moves any farther.  Guts tells them simply:  Move.

They try to shoot Guts up but he blocks with Dragonslayer.  They try to stop him and he cleaves em to bits.  Even Gerico, who’s supposed to be tougher than Zondark, gets DEAD.  Guts busts him right through a stone pillar.  Guts is left alone with the Lord Mayor.

Cut to Puck and Theresia, who are totally buddies now.  She asks Puck what it’s like to fly.  Puck can’t tell her because it’s a normal thing for him, nothing special. Theresia has apparently been locked up in that high room for seven years - Sluggo never lets her leave.  

There’s a commotion outside and Puck figures it’s Guts.  He tells Theresia he’s gotta go, she has a mini break down, and then regains her composure.  Puck says he’ll be back, and that next time, he’ll take her with!

Guts is in Sluggo’s chamber.  He approaches - and Sluggo’s actual body erupts from the ground.  He’s huge.

Puck doesn’t even know where Sluggo’s headquarters are, but finds out when rubble erupts away from a wall, revealing lots of Sluggo skin.  The simple act of becoming his true self is so powerful that the castle starts to crumble, allowing Theresia to slip outside her room.

Sluggo is fucking massive.  He’s doing all he can to crush Guts, but instead crushes the Lord Mayor, allowing Guts to get a hit off on him. He cuts off some eye stalks.

However, it’s a surface wound.  Sluggo goes on a mortality rant.  He grabs Guts and whips him around, hard enough to shatter stone.

When the chapter ends, Guts is like…. legit dead.

“6″

Chapter opens with Guts KO’d with Sluggo looming over him and Puck a ways off, shocked.  Puck swoops in and calls for Guts to get up, but Guts is OUT.

Sluggo mocks Guts for being a weak human, and Puck calls him out on the grounds that Sluggo himself was once a weak human, and that he’s just become a monster now to escape his own pain. Rats Theresia out.  A behelit falls on Puck’s head and he dashes off with it, to Sluggo’s great upsetness.  Sluggo takes Puck out with a rock, but before he can totally crush him, Theresia shows up.

Theresia is DISGUSTED by Sluggo.  She shrieks and cries and runs.  Sluggo also cries.  He is Very Upset.  His sadness is converted to anger almost immediately.  He’s gonna murder the fuck out of Puck.  

If not for Guts being somehow alive enough to combat Sluggo, Puck WOULD be dead!  But Guts is in fact still kicking.

Guts charges towards Sluggo, and Puck tells him not to be reckless and die, but Guts just smiles.

Guts takes more hits without death, somehow.  Before Sluggo can land a finishing blow, Guts grabs Theresia and shields himself with her.  He uses the momentary distraction to take a second to blast half of Sluggo’s face off.  His hand gets broken somehow?  So he just.  Wields Dragonslayer in his mouth.  Totally possible.  He beheads Sluggo like this.

Guts starts to cut up the severed head with a knife while Theresia watches.  

Theresia cries for Guts to stop.  Puck cries for Guts to stop.  Guts threatens Puck’s life if he tries to interfere.  He continues to mutilate Sluggo’s head as they watch, noting how he just won’t die.  Guts keeps going until he breaks the knife and Guts falls to the ground, spent.  

He sits himself up and laughs for a long while.

Sluggo’s bleeding out and pleas to not die… trigger the Behelit.  The group is sent to the hell-stairs dimension and the Godhand is there.

"7″

A vortex has opened over the castle in this town.  The Godhand is present.  Femto is jacked.

Guts is instantly triggered.  Femto mind-throws him to the ground.

Femto says some shit about Guts being pathetic.  He begins to turn away and Guts practically begs for his attention… but Femto does not spare it.  

The Godhand turns to Sluggo’s mutilated head.  He begs them to take Guts’s life in exchange for his own.  They tell him they can’t, because his desire is lacking any actual hatred for Guts.  He’s only afraid of death.  

Even though Guts has killed tons of apostles, it’s inconsequential to the Godhand.  They don’t give a shit about Guts.

Guts thinks this is just hilarious.  He gets up despite all his wounds (impressive to the Godhand) and has a go at Femto, who again says he’s nothing but a “squirming sacrificial offering”.

Guts can’t even get close to Femto.  The pain associated with his brand is way too strong, and he keels back over… but not before he swings his great sword.  Femto throws him across the room.  When Guts hits the wall, the rock crumbles.  Everyone assumes he’s dead.

However, the Godhand still won’t use Guts as Sluggo’s offering, because he’s already been offered, and Sluggo has no real ties to Guts.  Offerings must be someone very important.  Femto points to Theresia.

The Godhand exposes that Sluggo actually sacrificed his wife after discovering her in a Pagan orgy fucking a goat-headed god… after killing all of the people at the orgy.  He couldn’t kill his wife, however.  But he could sacrifice her when his despair activated the behelit.

POINT - those sacrificed… unable to take their lives by one’s own hand… the ones loved and hated the most… so that one can bury their fragile human heart.

The Godhand threatens to brand Theresia… and Guts asks Puck for him to heal his right arm.

"8″

opens with GRIFFTH pulling Guts out of a pile of bodies……

“Martyrdom for a merciless god.  What a waste.”

Griffith is giving Guts one of his token existential speeches.  Guts is like “… …”

Griffith tells Guts that he’s the first person he’s ever spoken to like this.  Guts thinks he’s beautiful.

Snap back to reality.  The Godhand is demanding Sluggo’s answer.  Guts continues to beckon Puck, who is torn.

The Godhand reminds Sluggo that even if he dies, he won’t rest in peace.  He’ll go straight to hell to disappear into the sea of other souls that get caught up with demonkind.

holy FUCK CONFIRMED that if Guts dies he goes to hell.  Puck looks at Guts and Guts is fearful of this realization.

The Godhand tells Sluggo that only two paths remain- hell or sacrifice.

Sluggo takes too long.  The dead and damned come for him… and Vargas is there to personally drag him down to hell.

Theresia cries and reaches out for her father, but it is in vain.  The dead grab at Guts, too.  Femto looks and turns away from him.  Guts manages to shoot his cannon arm at him.  Femto explodes the ball before it can reach him.  Guts watches as the Godhand departs.

Puck tries to go to Theresia, but she shrieks and cries.  Sluggo’s mutilated body is before her.  She wants to go back to her room.  She wishes she were dead.

Guts tells her to kill herself.

Puck slaps him.  Guts continues on, telling her that she’d probably go to heaven anyway, though both her parents are in hell.

Theresia considers slitting her wrist, but stone crumbles away beneath her before she can.  Guts offers his sword for her to grasp, and she does.  Her hands bleed.  Guts flings her back to safe ground.

Guts is emotionally impacted by his own actions.

Puck goes to heal Theresia’s wounds, but Theresia whips around to face Guts.  She projects all of her recent misfortune onto him.  She swears that one day, she will kill Guts.  Guts tells her he’s ready whenever she is and walks away… but really, he’s CRYING.  Iconic pepe look.

Puck sees he’s crying and Guts bats Puck away.

Favorite Anime/Manga:

I seriously LOVE Kamisama Hajimemashita (also called Kamisama Kiss), but i’ve only watched the anime but I plan to read the manga very soon which i hear is much more updated, I really liked Kiznaiver (the recent anime that I cried aT WHEN THEY INTRODUCED SOME ENTIRELY DISABLED CHARS ;w;;;), also some others I found interesting.. Mob Psycho 100, Bungou Stray Dogs, Yuri!!! on Ice, Blue Exorcist, Kaichou Maid-sama, (more known animes) and some more comedy, romance, and supernatural anime that I can’t really remember..

Oh yes! For manga, I liked Tsukuba Sakura’s Penguin Revolution! and Mekakushi no Kuni, Hanamaki Anna’s Nephylym, and Kikawa Kyouko’s Chotto Friday, including her Kanata Kara and Otogi Moyou Ayanishiki (which both are historically based and have an old style but SERIOUSLY GOOD!!) Also, I would like to include a funny one.. Nekota no Koto ga Ki ni Natte Shikatanai! 

Favorite Video Games: 

I recently just finished The Last Guardian which was the most I've cried in a VERY long time (great game but i have mixed feelings for the creator now bcause of that ending );’’0 good game, good game), I also only just finished Portal 2 last year in November haha.. I still listen to the ending music a whole bunch! Let’s see.. I haven’t played it but I watched Cryaotic play the whole series for years it’s called Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, there is also Never Alone by Kisima Ingitchuna (a side-scroller co-op or single with a little girl and a fox trying to get home kind of like the last guardian), Vindictus, Neverwinter, and Tera are pretty good mmorpg games, and I sometimes diddle with Garry’s Mod, Circuits, Grow Home, The Sims 3 and 4, and Among The Sleep (FREAKING TERRIFYING i couldn’t get through much of it bcause im a scaredy cat.. GOAL: see if you can get through it more than me haha). May I mention Papo and Yo, The Witch’s House, Mogeko Castle (seriously perverted and includes rape and sexual intonation :/ took a LONG time to finish bcause of this.. be careful with this one), Mad Father, Firewatch, Heavy Rain, Life is Strange, Undertale, Okami, Forest of Drizzling Rain, The Crooked Man, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, Broken Age, Brothers: Tale of Two Sons, and many, MANY more that takes far too long to list

Favorite Books:

Oh dang.. I have read so many books I can call myself a book junkie for sure but.. everytime I try to list my favorite books nothing pops up so I can only list one I am currently reading which isn’t my perferred thickness of a book but it’s called Anything But Typical (I should really start listing down the names of my books sigh and start reading recommend books from more knowledgeable readers D:)

Favorite TV Shows:

OH THIS IS AN EASY ONE *rubs hands together evilly*  

If you can’t look at my Tumblr and automatically know, I absolutely LOVE Miraculous Ladybug in it’s whole glorious package <33 The ones that will be harder to find on my blog is Steven Universe, BBC’s Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes, Voltron: Legendary Defender, and Over The Garden Wall (loved this one and it’s songs :)) 

Last Song I Listened To:
