#because she thought it was too gauche

[sleepdepravity]

Finally finished reading this civil war book and really, in general, it’s fun to see how four women’s lives intersected during one major event and how they worked against each other or with each other at any given time. That’s fun! But also, the standout gal is Elizabeth van lew. It makes me feel sorry for the other girls (except for Belle who is an idiot twerp) because like. She literally ran a whole fucking spy ring in Richmond, the capital of the confederacy, right where the fucking confederate President was. Like. How can you compete with that?

And then you find out afterwards she was made postmaster? And hired multiple women and black postal clerks? And sponsored libraries and spoke out about rigged voting in the south???? How can you compete???????????

Hello! Can I request a Luck x Black bull Reader fanfiction where the reader is head over heels for him, but he's not really interested in romance. She often gives him cheesy pick up lines, and tries to flirt with him only to be met with a neutral reaction. But slowly, Luck begins to see how much she cares for him, whenever they go on missions and whenever she protects him. And he slowly starts to fall for her. Thank you so much for taking requests!! 🖤🖤

LUCK x reader

She fell first, he fell harder

. she tries her ultimate best to gain his attention, protecting him and using her ‘best’ pickup lines on him!

“dhdhd” is speech and ‘fhrhd’ is thinking!

no warnings.

“Y/N come on you know how Luck is!” Vanessa took pity on you, this was the a hundredth time Luck turned down your fruitless attempt at trying to flirt with him, “He’s just not interested at romance at all.”

“He will once I use this line!”

Vanessa could only shake her head at how stubborn you were being, it’s been over a year of your attempts.

You got up in a hurry once you heard the door to the base open; you knew it was him.

“LUUCKKK!!”

Even Gauche was rubbing his temple, knowing the outcome of what you were going to do.

Luck smiled when you came crashing down the stairs.

“Hey Y/N!”

“Luck, do you like raisins?”

Vanessa groaned, knowing what was going to be said.

“Hmm, I guess I do!”

You smirked looking back at the few members watching this play out, ‘I got this guys!!’

“Then.. how do you feel about a date!”

“I guess they’re quite nice too” Luck simply smiled and walked up the stairs in a rush, trying his best to conceal his reddening face.

… everyone looked at you in pity.

“I think it’s time you let that man go Y/N” Noelle pat your back and gave you a sad smile.

“NO” You stormed up following him to try another one of your stupid pickup lines, but we all know how that would turn out.

—

Yami knew what he was doing placing you and Luck on your fifth mission together. You were both sent to clean up after the mess he made and round boars up.

“This’ll be fun Y/N trust me!”

You sigh and keep your arms crossed, you’re running low on these pickup lines.

“Yayyy!!” You try to make the best out of this.

It’s been a few minutes since starting to round these boars up and you had the brightest idea to try again.

“Hey, hey Luck, did you just come out the oven?” You strike the boar with your magic and sit atop it.

Luck just giggles and after hitting the last boar, sits next to you.

“Because you’re hot” You looked at him hopefully.

“That one was a funny one!!” He didn’t want to acknowledge it, but his heart skipped a beat.

…

That was your last straw. It’s been coming up to a year and a half of your efforts in vain, it didn’t look like it was getting any closer to dreams coming true. Hopping off the boar, you sat down against the tree fed up.

“Yep. I’m sure you can handle the few that are left, goodluck Luck.”

He looked at you confused, but didn’t say anything in argument.

Luck went off and it had been a few minutes since he had been rounding the rest of the boars up.

But something was off.

You sensed someone with an overwhelming amount of mana nearby and that didn’t make sense considering the mission was supposedly near by a village in the forsaken realm.

You got up and went on a search for Luck.

“LUCCK”

“hey Y/N!” he just got done with the last boar.

“Did you also sense that mana?”

“Yeah, you too?”

“That’s not normal, we should go check it out”

“Never thought you’d ask!” Luck exclaimed.

Both you and Luck scouted the area, coming towards the source of mana. But you wanted to use this opportunity of silence -

“Hey Luck, have you ever had a crush?”

He giggled at that question, but he didn’t seem to happy, “Crush?! I’ve never felt that kind of thing before, I don’t think i’m even capable of feeling butterflies when I like someone”

He was lying. Of course he was. He feels it when he’s with you, although he would never admit it.

He’s been liking you since he’s realised your constant efforts of trying to protect him, since your constant attempts trying to go out with him.

He was planning on never telling you.

You paused in your place, watching him go onwards. Maybe Vanessa was right in thinking he wasn’t interested in romance, or maybe he just didn’t like you.

Not knowing how to feel, you slowed down letting Luck go first. It was getting closer to the open area near the village.

But at that moment, a strike of fireball magic was flashing towards Luck’s head.

It was instinct really, instinct for you to throw Luck out the way and for you to absorb the impact of it.

You’d die before letting Luck get hurt. Even though he might’ve not done the same.

“Y/N?!” His eyes flew open in shock and he rushed to your side. He heard a cackle coming out the bushes.

“What a shame, I wasn’t even striking for her!” The man in the cloak cackled.

Luck went silent.

‘why would she do that?’ he held onto you tight.

He got up, lightning sparking out of control in his hand.

“Yeah? well I’ll be striking for you.”

—

“Gosh this is bad!” Vanessa held her head in disappointment, staring down at your injured body covered in ointment.

Luck simply sat by you, head down next to your head.

“How’d you let this happen?”

“She threw herself in front of the fireball, for me.”

“She never gives up” she shook her head, “you damaged that man beyond full recovery too”

“He deserves it”

“Well then, make sure to also get some rest, you didn’t exactly get out unscathed either” Vanessa looked at him solemnly before shutting the door.

“… why would you do that, Y/N??”

“Because I like you, a lot”

Luck’s head shot up to look at your painful state just barely opening your eyes.

You groan, getting up and holding your head.

Luck stared at you, ‘Am I deserving of your love?’ he could only think.

“I don’t understand”

“What’s there to understand? I think you have a beautiful heart Luck, ever since I met you you’ve only given me a reason to look forward to my day, you make me happier.”

His eyes watered

“I would do anything for you” you pet his head.

Then and there, he realised how valuable he was to you and frankly how much you meant to him.

“Don’t ever do that again” he hugged you, not tight enough to hurt you but firm, “I’ll do my upmost best protecting you now”

“Can’t make any promises,” you snickered and hugged him tightly.

“I got him good! You should’ve seen his face when I kicked his ass, now he knows not to lay a fucking hand on you again - if he’s even capable enough to recover”

you were silenced.

“I thought I hated romance and love, maybe I was wrong about it” Luck gave his usual laugh and tucked you back to rest.

you were at a loss for words, mouth gaping like a fish.

“no more talking, you gotta recover so we can spar when you’re as good as new!” he grinned widely.

—

“No Noelle, I KNOW it’ll work this time!” You were determined that this attempt was going to be the finale, because it was going to work.

“I’ll have the tissues ready!” she really had no hope for you.

Vanessa giggled and hit you hard in the back.

“come on! I believe you got it this time!”

“The blind leading the blind…” Gauche mumbled.

Luck sped into the house after finishing his spar

“Hey hey Y/N!!”

He sped up and held your hand to his shirt.

“Can you feel my shirt?”

You were puzzled, raising your brow to Magna who followed behind him looking like he was preparing himself for the worst.

“Yeah?”

“You know what material it is?”

“cotton..?”

“Nah. Boyfriend material.”

..

you exploded red. Vanessa was cackling and Noelle and Magna could only shake their heads in disappointment. Finral was nodding in approval.

“And that! is how you pull girls!” Finral slapped Luck on his back.

Maybe your efforts weren’t in vain, Luck did realise his feelings for you.

“Hey Y/N? How about we spar?”

You were still lost for words yet again, but you smiled.

“Yeah, of course Luck”

[honeytabbies]

OKAY. HERE WE GO. my black bulls doggies!!!! :D

there's definitely a noticeable difference in style/quality of some of these just due to time between each design and/or how i was feeling at the time of drawing them (these hot and rainy summer months have been super rough on me)

ALSO they were all done symmetrically so that i wouldn't burn out and could actually finish them LOL . OK EVERYBODY BELOW

starting off with asta, a husky/coyote mutt!! :D in my au, devil users end up becoming hybrids of whatever their devil is. so since liebe is a coyote, that's what asta is too!! (also, i haven't drawn him yet, but yuno is a malamute :D similar looking breeds but different since they're not actually related!)

(here's liebe too hehe, scrappy lil coyote!!)

then of course, noelle, who's a saluki!! a very regal breed for a very royal gal!! i thought making her pigtails into her ears was a fun idea HEHEHE

(+ an alternate design version!)

here's finral, he's a shetland sheepdog!! gentle and sweet and always trying to herd his people together :) you might notice that with some of my designs, i end up doing extra scarring; that's usually just personal headcanons, as i think some injuries would be too grievous to fully heal. though some (for instance, gauche) don't have a canon story behind them, i just think they're fitting

vanessa, who's a cavalier king charles spaniel!! her ears sorta blend into her hair lol, i had an alternate version where they were the same darker brown as her fur but i decided that them blending in looked better and fit the breed standard as well.

gauche, the ever wary american akita!! being a fiercely loyal and protective breed, but aloof and suspicious of strangers.

then there's grey, who's a long-haired chihuahua!! sweet and skittish HEHE, also i haven't drawn it yet but i've always imagined her big transformation disguise that she's first introduced as to be a rottweiler LOL

next up is luck, a jack russell terrier!! i've always thought this was a very fitting breed pick, intelligent but highly energetic and a little mischievous !!!

and of course, magna is never far behind luck; he's a dobermann pinscher!! similar to luck in energy and intelligence, but even more fiercely protective of his loved ones.

GORDON!!! actually one of my favourite black clover characters, he's a dalmatian not only because of the fitting aesthetic, but also because of his kind and sensitive personality!

the masked supermage zora, a german shepherd! watchful and sometimes stubborn but loyal nonetheless made this pick fairly easy to come to. though, before getting to see more of him, my initial pick was actually a kai ken!

charmy's design is one that i'm the most proud of for sure; i mentioned in an earlier post that the different peoples are different species of animals. well charmy is a half toy poodle, half american badger!! i thought a badger was a VERY fitting pick, as they are generally unbothered by much unless their food is threatened LOL

and finally, lastly (for now) is nero!! she's a bull terrier, but i really wanted to keep her twin tails from her anti-bird form! her outfit is definitely the one i edited the most, i just wanted to give her something more practical out of personal preference.

additionally, henry is an old english sheepdog, nacht is a black norwegian elkhound/fox, and yami is a wolfdog!

I HAVE SOME OTHER CHARACTERS DOODLED HERE AND THERE but nothing else really finished yet. if there's a specific character anyone would like to see i would be SO happy to draw/doodle them to show off!! i honestly have a huge list of dog/cat breeds picked out for every character i could think of; i just am hellishly indecisive and can never pick who to start on next AHDSJAGDJSDK

THE POSITIVE RECEPTION TO MY ART SO FAR HAS MADE ME SO HAPPY BTW AUAGGHHH i have no idea how/if im able to reply to people directly but just know that i keep reading over everyone's reblog tags and stimming like crazy IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH AUHGHFEHGGRH

[tilthedayidice]

I was taking all my prescriptions and putting them in a single bottle each (they give me a three month supply so three bottle blegh). But I was thinking about how i have so many of these bottles. Then I thought maybe someone else does too. So I wanna share what I use all these bottles for because throwing them away (Recycling is a little rough to get to) feels gross for me.

Custom Paint Mixes- Acrylic, Gauche, and Water color hold really well in these bottles. I have a countless number of them filled with paint i was mixing for gradients or shading. Some paint reacts to the plastic weird so be sure to test it out first!!!

Sorting- I make a lot of miniatures and jewelry and all sorts of random things, I don't have a lot of things to put them in, But the bottles are really good for the smaller things. Beads, Minis, clay you wanna color but keep separate from the rest, slimes,

Travel Containers- Really good for any small items you need a container for when traveling! They're air tight and have child proofing so whatever is in it wont be budgin!

Plant Starters- Now this one is meant specifically for those large clear bottles. I get them a lot with one particular prescription and they're Quite Large. If you have an Awl (I know kinda specific but I'm crafty) or any other similar tool, you can heat it and make small draining holes in the bottom, Its good for any tiny/starter plant in a pinch. I know I said they're quite large, but I mean in relation to other bottles.

Worm habitat for when your gf inevitably turns into a worm!- Not actually recommended, She was cramped.

Please feel free to add any other uses you know of!!! I was just doin the Big Think about it and wanted to share in case anyone else was thinkin about it too :)

[mondaysaglitch]

i haven't gotten too far into black clover (only ep 74 or smth like that) but there's one thing that i've been thinking about recently

no matter how little an action or sentance is, it tends to have a profound ripple effect on everyone else in the series

fuegoleon's "stay calm"s and "don't let your dickass siblings get you down you are in life or death and also better than that"(horridly paraphrased) and even the hand to head chops to a certain extent. THEN later on finding out that the chops and the "stay calm"s originated from sister theresa?? which presumably originated from her mentors and their mentors before them ad nauseum????

and then there's yami's profound effects on the black bulls just by being himself. where i am in the story it's not fully explained why or how he managed to come across gauche or vanessa, but him just wreaking havoc in his own way led to their lives being changed forever!

and when he heard asta say "i've never had someone expect something of me before" and instantly starts consciously expecting more of him. even when he orders asta to rest, he still gives him chores to do. it's different from how he does it before, too- i like to think it's his own way of showing him that he does expect great things, that he does believe

and for worse- nozel, nebra, and solid constantly belittling noelle had led to a very lasting affect on her. no matter what she does, how much she succeeds, it still shows in her nervous tics and need to assert herself as royalty(especially in unfamiliar situations) that she does not have all her self confidence BECAUSE she was bullied so viscously by her own blood. it's gotten better as she's grown as a person, and she's starting to learn to cope with the negative thoughts- but they don't go away.

tabata is a genius in how he's written the other characters interacting with each other.

[dragon-communion]

Alright, headcanon time about the Carian siblings and their romantic (and otherwise) pursuits:

Ranni always assumed she would have the most choice, both as heir apparent to the throne of Liurnia and an Empyrean. While even a queen might marry for pure political advantage, an Empyrean is a god-to-be and her husband would be a potential Lord. Needless to say it would be a bit gauche for someone to choose a goddess's husband for her, even if she had no intentions of ever fulfilling the role.

That said, I absolutely headcanon that during the long process of psychologically and politically hogtying Liurnia, Radagon was exactly that gauche and ensured Ranni was betrothed to Godwyn. All things can be conjoined, after all, and why shouldn't the Moon and Sun be companions?

Marika never liked loose ends and Ranni would be just far enough from her sphere of influence to constitute a potential problem. Marrying the Lunar Princess to the golden scion of Leyndell could solve that problem.

Ranni was so busy investing in forbidden magics and the manipulation of flesh that she never really thought much about what kind of partner she'd choose before one was foisted on her, and then she was too busy being offended.

By contrast, the sons of Caria knew exactly how expendable they were in terms of marriage proposals. Sons cannot claim power the way daughters can, but they could marry into power. The only reason neither of them was ever married off was mostly a lack of suitable matches and their mother's preoccupation, their utter lack of political threat to the Golden Order, and the fact that Ranni couldn't care less if the two of them became lonely old biddies.

Rykard is a man of diverse tastes and a uniquely inventive mind. I'm extremely sure he was quite content with a string of bedwarmers and vague thoughts of settling down just long enough to stuff some poor woman with a kid before thoroughly ignoring her. Rykard needs someone who can match his freak, and is also the type of arrogant to be very sure no one ever will. Tanith essentially hit him like a wrecking ball and he's been utterly besotted ever since he realized she was serious about wanting to watch him torture heretics. Ranni seriously thought Rykard was going to kill this woman as some kind of depraved and unthinkable sex act, the way he'd been staring, nobody expected wedding bells.

Radahn is a strange mix of both. He very much likes the idea of feasting and maidens. He understands what knights and squires get up to and why. But it's all abstract, really. He likes glory and valor and legends, all celebrations of masculinity and by extension virility, but. It's as if the story isn't complete without such things, rather than out of any personal attraction to comely shapes. Legendary warriors are supposed to be covered in women and romp long into the night. There's a rumor among the Redmanes that the only thing to set his blood racing is a good fight, and why shouldn't that be the case? The battlefield is where true legends are forged. He's tried bedding folks off and on over the years, but it's not half as interesting as drilling techniques in the yard, and doesn't get any more interesting. Sometimes he fancies that it's a matter of soulmates, that he hasn't met his god properly yet, the way Godfrey had Marika. He wouldn't object to being married off, but he'd feel a bit sorry for whatever woman paired with him because he knows he'd never be home.

HIHIHIHIHIHIHI

SOOOO I have NO idea if the last spot is now taken or sum, but I thought I'd ask ANYWAY.

Okay, what about a Nozel x fem reader (romantic). So, a few years after they started dating, reader finds out Gauche and Marie Adlai are still alive, and for years she thought she was the only Adlai left. So, maybe hurt/confort in which Nozel encourages her to go find Gauche and talk to him

If its too much or the spot's taken ignore request~

Love n' sparkles!! 💗✨

Hiya Ginny, I apologize that this took a while (I got busy with other things), and of course! I hope you enjoy 🥰!

Nozel walked into House Silva and frowned as he was met with dead silence. Usually he could hear you bustling about doing things or you would be standing there waiting for him to return so you could both talk about your days, but instead…you were nowhere to be seen.

He called out your name, but received no reply; so, he began to walk around the Manor looking for you.

After nearly an hour of searching, he finally decided to check the Master Bedroom, and that’s where he found you. Curled up on the bed, with your back facing the door.

“ There you are, what’re you still doing in bed?” He asked in confusion as he walked over to you and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Your eyes were distant, red, and puffy as though you had been crying.

“ What happened?” He asked, his tone more serious. You blinked slowly.

“ Nothing,” You replied softly, your voice barely above a whisper, and that made Nozel’s eyes narrow.

“ What happened?” He repeated, and you let out a soft sigh before looking at him.

“ I…I found my siblings.”

His eyes widened and a soft, surprised gasp escaped him.

For years, you had thought your brother Gauche and sister Marie had perished along with your parents when they had been betrayed; making you the only Adlai left.

But now, now you weren’t the only one left…your siblings had finally been found! While on the one hand that made you very happy, on the other hand it terrified you and made you sad.

Not because you were no longer the only one left, but because of all the time you had lost with your brother and sister.

“ What’re you thinking about?” He asked, his own voice growing soft as he stared at you. His hand reached out and gently moved some of your hair away from your face as your eyes drifted towards him.

His eyes were no longer narrowed and stern, but were instead warm, gentle, and empathetic.

You sat up slowly and looked at him.

“ I’m…thinking about a lot of things,” You admitted with a humorless laugh. “ I’m thinking about all the time I, Gauche, and Marie lost together. I’m thinking about how I should have protected them better, and how those ‘friends’ of my parents took everything away from us.”

Nozel glanced down and noticed your firm grip on the bed cover and quickly reached out to grasp your hand gently. His thumb began to rub slow and comforting circles on the back of your hand, which made you smile just a bit.

“ But,” You began as you turned your hand around, palm up, so you could hold his hand properly. “ I’m also thinking about how happy I am that they survived, and that I can’t wait to see them again…”

He frowned as you paused, your eyes widening slightly in realization.

“ But, what if they don’t want to meet me because they thought I abandoned them? Or what if they don’t remember me so they’ll think I’m lying?” You began, your voice growing more and more panicked as your mind began to race.

Nozel watched you for a moment, his face growing unsure as he didn’t really know how to help or comfort you in this situation. But, he reached out and placed his hands on your shoulders.

“ Even if they think that; I still think you should try and reach out to them,” He told you firmly before his eyes shifted away. “ They’re your siblings, and even though they may not remember you or they may hate you…I still think you should take the chance to find out.”

“ If they don’t remember you then you can easily just re-introduce yourself and get to learn about each other again,” He explained as a hand reached up to hesitantly cup your cheek. “ And if they hate you…while that’s a bit trickier, you can all try to talk about it and work through it together, just like my siblings and I did.”

While Nozel and his siblings relationships have gotten better over the last few years due to clearing up many misunderstandings, their relationship still needed a lot of work…especially his and Noelles. But, they were getting there, slowly yet surely.

“ So, even though it’s a risk and it may not go in your favor, you should at least try.”

Nozel watched as your eyes darted back and forth in thought, and for a while the only sound that could be heard in the master bedroom was your shared breathing and the sound of the clock ticking on the wall.

After a moment you closed your eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them again.

“ You’re right; even though all those bad things could happen, I still need to talk to them,” You said firmly, your eyes holding a determined gaze.

Nozel nodded firmly in agreement.

“ Will…you come with me to see them?” You asked hesitantly, and that took him by surprise a bit; but after recovering his gaze shifted again, his cheeks turned pink, and he cleared his throat.

“ O-Of course,” He stammered slightly. “ I would be honored to accompany you to meet them.”

You smiled happily before leaning forward to kiss his cheek, making his face turn even more red.

“ Great! So, when should we head to the Black Bulls Hideout?”

Nozel blinked.

“ The Black Bulls Hideout?” You nodded.

“ Yeah, that’s where they are!”

Nozel’s face paled, why did they have to be there of all places?!

Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you all have a good day~!

GAICHE ADLAI X READER PLSSS IM BEGGING (and reader is jealous of grey bc I am) if you don’t want to you don’t have to but please do any setting where you can write best!

I haven't had any luck with writing for months now but I absolutely love Gauche and really want to try writing for him because there is not enough of him out there

I am also currently rewatching Black Clover so it's perfect timing

Your just as important as Marie

Gauche Adlai x Fem!BlackBullsReader

Summary: You decide to go shopping alone instead of waiting for him but you run into him in town with gray

Warning: Fluff, Slight angst?, Cursing, Jealousy, Gauche might be a little out of character

Word count: 800+

It's been a few hours since you've seen Gauche. You heard something about him helping Gray with her shyness.

It upset you a little because he's been spending a lot of time with her lately and you found a nice new shop in the capital that has really good toys and treats for kids, so you were hoping to go shopping with him for Marie.

You wander out into the main area of the Black Bulls base hoping they would be back by now.

You take a look around and notice almost everyone is out on missions or is training.

You let out a loud sigh "Guess I'll just have to go shopping by myself then" You say as you grab your broom and head for the capital.

You arrive and you keep flying over the buildings to try to find the shop you found not too long ago when you hear a familiar voice.

You fly down to the street you hear the voice and jump off your broom to get a better look at the loud yelling that you seem to recognize somewhere.

You walk closer to see Marie standing In the street. You turn your head to see Gauche with a nose bleed screaming that he loved her and running toward her to hug her.

You stood there smiling at him because that's just like him, Until he's right in front of her and she transforms back into gray.

Your heart stops as you see Gauche and gray standing incredibly close to each other and him complaining that she changed back.

You start to feel really insecure by watching this so you walk forward to interrupt them.

"There you are Gauche, I've waiting to see you all day" You say with a hint of sadness in your voice as you approach them.

"Oh, hello dear. What are you doing here" Gauche asks when he turns and sees you there. Gray immediately panicked and tried to hide herself.

"There was a new shop i found a while ago that would have nice things for Marie, and since you weren't back yet i was going to go by myself" you say nervously while playing with you're fingers.

"New things for my beautiful angel, I will gladly come with you" Gauche states as his nose starts bleeding at the thought of new gifts for Marie. "I'll have to help you later gray, my darling Marie needs some gifts"

You smile at him as you start walking in the direction of the store. "It's a little ways down this street"

He runs up besides you and starts talking about what he could get for Marie from this shop. "Will i be able to get my angel some new dresses, Or maybe some new dolls that she can play with"

You just hum and nod along with what he's saying, fully focused on what you saw with him and gray just a minute ago.

He kept rambling until he realized you weren't responding and helping him think of what to get her. He stop talking and looked down and seen the sad expression you had on your face. "Is something bothering you" He blurts out.

You stop walking and look up at him. "It's nothing, don't worry about it" You wave it off putting on a smile.

He stops to stand in front of you too see you better. "Don't say that, it makes me what to know more.

You look up at him and then look back down at the ground. "It's just.." You trail off for a second, then take a deep breath deciding to just rip off the band-aid and just ask. "Do you have feelings for gray" You quickly say without looking at him.

At first he gets angry at the fact that you think he would like somebody else, then he realizes that your worrying about this a lot. He lets out a breath to calm down so he doesn't say anything mean and make this worse.

He puts a hand on your cheek to make you look up at him. "Gray is just a colleague and that is all she will ever be. Next to my darliing angel Marie you're the most important person in my life" He pauses and looks at you for a second.

"Actually, Your just as important as Marie is too me"

You look at him with pure shock as you eyes start to water. "You really mean that?"

"I do, I love you y/n" He say with a smile on his face.

Tears start streaming down your face as you hear the words you never though he'd say to you. "I love you too" You happily say smiling back at him.

He uses his thumbs to wipe the tears away as he leans down to leave a gentle kiss on your lips.

After he pulls away you looks at you with a slight nose bleed. "now lets go to that new shop so i can spend all my money on my sweet angel"

"Sounds good" You say as you grab his hand and lead his down the street to the shop.

Reverse Unpopular Opinion: Madoka Magica

Beyond the intense character writing, foundational contributions to time loop yuri, the coherent core Buddhist ideology about how economic prosperity is built on people suffering in places you can't see / dukkha, etc., etc. (Kyubey is less the cause of magical girls' suffering and more a symptom of a universe where to desire is to be left unsatisfied; to desire to extend one's life is to desire suffering), and how Homura Akemi transed teen!Farn's gender...

...have you seen witch barriers?

The part of me that got hooked by Persona 4 for its voyeuristic confessional dungeons was likewise hooked by Gekidan Inu Curry's psychodrama hellscapes. There's such a lasting appeal to having your innermost pain made visible to the world without having to do anything so gauche as confess it – such that it just spills out of you involuntarily and takes on grotesque, bizarre metaphor-shapes.

More recently I've also been thinking about how Homura and Madoka misunderstand their own desires, too, just in a way that isn't foregrounded as hard as the other three. Madoka, unable to continue enjoying the fruits of a civilization built on continuous human sacrifice and agony, sacrificed herself in lieu of everyone else, doing something genuinely good and freeing herself from the infinite moral burden of prosperity rooted in pain... and didn't spare a thought for the girl she'd secretly clued in about the newer, cooler Omelas setup. And Homura fell in love with Madoka in part because Madoka helped her live in the ordinary world rather than existing in permanent precarity, but the burden of time travel left her so alien to "ordinary life" that even when she had infinite Madokas she couldn't get back to where she was supposed to be, or have back the girl she fell in love with, because the conditions that turn Madoka into that girl also lead to Madoka dying. It's such good time loop yuri. I think when the movie hits I'm going to explode.

drabble request: re: time loop story: what convoluted or not reasoning led cameron to calling chase specifically for a hook up (and not going to a bar. or shooting her shot with foreman lol)

disclaimer: i have not done meth (shocking!) and therefore this is probably an inaccurate description of what being on meth is like. but you know.

The drugs kick in fast; it supports that lab’s analysis that Kalvin is the rare meth user who actually has pure product, because one minute Cameron is sitting placidly on her bed waiting for something to kick in and trying not to think about how fucking irresponsible this whole thing is, and the next her heart is racing, fingertips tingling as her thoughts race a mile a minute. It’s weird. Weird-fun, she decides, bouncing up on her tiptoes with a smile that makes her jaw ache—things feel fast and hectic and for the first time in over a day it’s like the outside world is finally reflecting what it feels like to be in her head. “Drugs are bad,” she tells her reflection sternly, but the woman in the mirror is laughing and frantic, her pupils blown wide, and Cameron is pleased. Bad, bad decision, she thinks, wagging a finger at the mirror. Bad dog. She laughs again, and it’s a full-body movement. This is what it must feel like to be Kalvin all the time. No regrets. No future. Just present-present-present and fun-fun-fun.

She should go out, she decides. Hasn’t it been forever since she went to a bar on her own? Since she went out for a drink without having to listen to Foreman whine about House and Chase try to flirt with the bartender? The corner of her mouth pulls down into an exaggerated frown. Boring. She should go out, and wear something short, and curl her hair—or straighten it, or maybe bleach? There’s blonde dye in her bathroom cabinet, a failsafe from when she first started dyeing her hair brown and wasn’t sure if she’d like it; Cameron likes to have a back-up plan. Not tonight, though. Tonight, she’s going to go out and have fun and she isn’t going to think about anything else. She sets her curling iron out on the sink, and leaves it to heat up while she hunts for clothes.

Her wardrobe is sad. “Bad dog,” she tells it, when one-two-three straight minutes of rifling through its contents yield nothing short and nothing exciting. Maybe she’ll just go out in her pyjamas, and buy something on the way. Department stores are open til this time of night, right? She never really shops for herself these days. Everything she owns is professional and strait-laced and dull. Cameron is professional and strait-laced and dull. No wonder Foreman hates being around her so much. Buzzkill. This Cameron hates being around that Cameron, too.

She goes back to the bathroom to start curling her hair, but she burns her neck with the curling wand on the second strand. The pain is white-hot and sour, cutting right through all the fun-buzzy-bubbly feelings but not in a bad way. The mark on her neck looks a bit like a hickey. Cameron has never had a hickey before; she always thought they were gauche and embarrassing, would always pulls boys away from her neck very pointedly when she thought they were getting too bold about things in high school. But tonight is meant to be fun. Tonight is meant to be full of new experiences, and feelings. She wants a hickey. The thought fills her with more bubbly-fun excitement, no fear or mortification, and she scrambles to put on music while she hunts through her cell phone.

Cameron sorts through her contacts alphabetically—not that there’s many; she doesn’t really talk to anyone from college or med school anymore—and selects the first man’s name she finds: R CHASE.

She hits dial.

Ranking The Black Bulls

I am so high after finishing the Black Clover anime which is why I'm making this. This is definitely a personal list and I just want a way for me to talk about these characters because I do love all of them.

Also, some spoilers.

16. Nacht and his demons

Little screen time and he’s extremely suspicious. Also if you keep going around being condescending to everyone I won’t like you.

I do not know his backstory which could definitely explain things but based on what he gets in the anime, I don’t care for him.

Pros are that he’s a pretty asshole and his tiny demons are cute.

15. Liebe

Lack of screen time gets you closer to the bottom.

That backstory was making me tear up though.

He gained anti-magic but how??? It kind of just happened.

He has a place in the found family whether he likes it or not.

14. Gordon Agrippa

I like that he just wants friends despite everyone thinking he’s creepy and being part of a family that studies curses.

He gets forgotten a lot :(

Actually a character who comes to have a healthy relationship with his family

He is shown to be kind of a stalker though which docks points. There's people being unreasonably scared of you and then there's keeping journals on everyone in the squad and making dolls of each of them.

13. Zora Ideale

Gets almost no character development after his introduction. They have forgotten this man which is a shame because he was introduced as a very interesting and menacing person.

His relationship with his father is very sweet

Sassy

Zora, you will succumb to the found family.

12. Henry Legolant

Him going from a possible ghost to a true member of the Black Bulls is great. I love that the squad finds a way for him to be around them even with his curse

He’s very nice too.

Doesn’t get a lot after the Elven Invasion arc. All you see is him occasionally sitting in a box.

His magic is so epic when it gets used. I love the Raging Black Bull Formation.

11. Vanessa Enoteca

Doesn’t actually get too much to do after the Forest of Witches arc.

I love that she’s basically the squad’s big sister.

Her magic and the red thread of fate are super cool although Rouge kind of becomes her main power.

10. Grey

I really enjoyed the episodes that focused on her a lot and how she wants to overcome her shyness for the rest of the Black Bulls.

Her backstory is fairly basic but the reveal that she met Gauche beforehand and he saved her was so good. I already loved them and now I love them even more.

Also, Grey, Gordon, and Gauche are absolutely a trio. Them defending the base from the Eye of the Midnight Sun was great.

9. Secre Swallowtail

Her plot with Lumiere is very sweet and gets you to like her very quickly.

Lumiere helping her develop her magic that she thinks is useless is something I love too.

I like that she’s an example that your magic is what you make of it. What it becomes is so cool and actually very useful.

The fact that even after her seal is undone, she still chills as a bird on Asta's head.

Also, I think it's interesting that Luck is the one who came up with the name Nero and she agreed to it back in the earlier episodes.

8. Gauche Adlai

This man would be ten times more attractive without his sister complex. Fortunately, his gag isn’t his only character aspect (although it’s a fairly big one).

I actually thought he was going to be super unimportant and then he got his own arc early on which shocked me.

It was nice that he began wanting to protect more people than just Marie. I actually started to enjoy it when he showed up.

His magic is cool and powerful. I think it was one of the first magic types introduced that wasn't more elemental. I want to know how he got the magic item in his eye.

Berates everyone but is literally just as insane as the rest of them.

7. Charmy Pappitson

Slow clap for her magic literally being a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Her sheep cooks are cute too.

Obsessed with food (same) and I thought it might be a gag that makes her annoying, but she has other aspects that make her interesting and she’s a side character so I’m not asking that she be incredibly deep.

Her crush on Yuno is funny and I love that her magic is actually super strong when she tries. I never thought one of the crush situations would be Rill -> Charmy -> Yuno

6. Noelle Silva

Seeing her growth from the start of the series is amazing.

Tsundere but manages to not be super annoying with it.

Her spells are awesome and every time she learns a new one you want to cheer for her.

Valkyrie Armor is so pretty.

5. Asta

The fact that he inspires everyone around him is incredible.

I think that he’s the final piece of the Black Bulls that pulls them together and brings them from a band of hooligans to a true found family.

Has a surprising number of girls in love with him. Yet he is only dedicated to Sister Lily which I do find funny.

He does a great job at being a protagonist you want to root for which is important in a show like this. Everyone likes him so how can you not like him?

4. Finral Roulacase

There is something to be said about characters that are still nice even though the world keeps throwing things at them.

Finral’s family was never nice to him yet he still came out a kind person and that’s beautiful. The fact that he still cares for Langris really shows that.

Although he tends to run away from his problems, he works to face them as the series goes on and become stronger to fight alongside his friends.

I love his hairstyle change so much for some reason. He's so cute.

3. Yami Sukehiro

The man who adopted like thirteen kids.

I really enjoyed how his experience as a foreigner led him to create a squad that wouldn’t be bound by status or discrimination.

He literally picks up new members randomly off the street.

Despite being seemingly irresponsible compared to other Captains, he cares for his squad and wants them to be better and surpass their limits. He also knows what they are capable of and what they can handle.

2. Magna Swing

He's one of the most passionate of the Black Bulls and that makes him stand out despite him not being the strongest.

He does have magic but a lot of the time his abilities pale in comparison to the others’.

Even then, he tries to get stronger and I love that about him.

I also really like that his fire magic has a baseball theme. It makes it more unique because fire magic is so common.

I love watching him and Luck be dumbasses with each other.

More attractive with his hair down during the Elven Invasion.

Luck Voltia

Easy favorite. I cannot explain why exactly but he is my favorite.

I eat up any screen time he gets.

Luck: *murders someone in a fight*

Me: I love you so much

He’s crazy in wanting to fight almost everyone that comes his way but it’s shown that he is smart in battle too.

I like how everyone else has a case for their grimoire and he just straps it to his chest.

[mushroomheadgirl]

On transfemme Draco's style

Draco's style is heavily inspired by Narcissa's. As a child, she always admired her mother's ornate and flowing robes. The way they pooled around her feet but the hems never got dirty. Silks in the summer and velvet in the winter. Embroidery and beads and crystals. But for all the filigree, Narcissa never charmed her embroidered designs to move; she is much too classy for something so gauche.

Draco's style evolves in much the same way. While the styles aren't necessarily old-fashioned—the wizarding world moves much too slow for that—they are a bit modest for someone Draco's age, what with her bell sleeves that touch the ground and high collars that barely allow a peek at the hollow of her throat.

Draco had always kept covered up, but now the habit garners her the reputation of being an ice queen. Anyone who truly knows her knows she is anything but—even approaching thirty she's still quick to anger and known for her legendary strops. But to the general public, her clothes just confirm her new tight-lipped and closed-off attitude.

Pansy begs Draco to branch out a little. She worked so hard on her body, she should show it off a bit, after all. Every birthday she gifts Draco a skimpy new robe that just ends up at the back of her closet. Blaise is with Pansy, though for more salacious reasons.

Narcissa notices the similarities between her's and Draco's wardrobes. She doesn't say anything at all. Lucius does what he always did and purchases anything Draco expresses a passing interest in.

Harry wonders if Draco would still climb trees in her new state of dress. That's the main thought he has when he starts seeing her around again after he gets past the initial stage of confusion. Then he imagines her on a broom, arm stretched in pursuit of a snitch, long curly hair and silk robes flapping wildly behind her. That image does nothing to help how he turns into a stuttering mess every time he tries to talk to her. He only ever regains his footing now when Draco does something to piss him off, because she's still Draco and she's still very very good at pissing Harry off.

gauche // Rhaenyra x Daemon 🐈

🐈 Rated E 🐈 39.5k words 🐈 Complete 🐈 by AmazingAngie 🐈

This beast is a lighthearted modern AU in which the universe gives Daemon a cat, who turns into Rhaenyra, who turns out to be the best thing that ever happened to him. There is an adjustment period though, because she is kind of hard to explain- and she also makes him really really hard.

The story is told over nine chapters, mostly from Daemon POV but with insight from his assistant, chef, and maid who all have thoughts on the pretty girls peculiar behavior. AND includes a lil epilogue! :)

Official Summary:

Daemon finds a kitten in the pouring rain and he isn’t a monster, ok? He didn’t expect to keep it. And he DEFINITELY didn’t expect it to turn into that.  Or: Rhaenyra is a cat until she’s not

tags: Modern AU, Familiars, Hijinks & Shenanigans, Attempt at Humor, daemon's unique moral compass, when you're so lonely the universe gives you a cat and then she turns into your girlfriend, surprise it has a plot now and somnophilia and incest!, rhaenyra is a human for the vast majority of this fic, her cat characteristics are emotional not physical, rhaenyra hates clothing and is hungry for cream

💕🐈 Read on Ao3  🐈💕

Individual chapter summaries and banners below the cut!

🐈 Chapter One 🐈

In which Daemon discovers a cat and is feels too guilty to leave it behind to shiver in the cold rain.

...and in which he wakes to discover the cat is no longer a cat at all.

🐈 Chapter Two 🐈

When he had regained the ability to move, Daemon scrambled out of bed, pushing the girl off his legs in the process. She tumbled into his bedding and looked up at him, her forehead creased into a frown.   “I wanted the cream.” She whimpered, her gaze pleading, as she reached towards his dick which was very  confused, but still very hard. It almost looked proud, as if its height was a testament to the perseverance of mankind and his personal libido.  He brushed her hand away and pulled a sheet up to cover himself somewhat, even though the girl seemed unconcerned with nudity. She was naked too, and fuck if it wasn’t glorious. Truly, It said a lot about just how fucking hot she was that he was distracted by that and not the fact she had been a cat just a few hours ago. 

🐈 Chapter Three 🐈

Daemon is forced to leave her behind while he tends to a work emergency. His assistant is unimpressed when tasked with finding clothing for the girl. Especially when Daemon offers a bra size estimate and nothing else.

Plus! chef!Laena and her POV on the pantless girl in Daemon's apartment.

🐈 Chapter Four 🐈

Rhaenyra is unimpressed with her new wardrobe. Daemon is TOO impressed in her new underwear. A trip to Macy's is made to buy something more modest- but it ends in his humiliation, too.

Rhaenyra is unfazed and delighted to finally get the collar she has been asking for.

And they both ask google some questions about her.

🐈 Chapter Five 🐈

“Have you ever had a bath before?” He asked the girl, who nodded, “When I was a human.”  Oh good. So her last memory of water was hopefully a positive one.  “Do you want a bath now?” He asked, but her eyes narrowed like it was a trap.  “No.” She said, firmly.  “Human’s take baths, Rhaenyra.” He said, equally firm.  She brightened considerably, “Oh—so we’d take one together?”  “No. Definitely not.”  She was back to glaring. “Why not?”  His mouth opened and closed, “It’s inappropriate.”  Still glaring, “Why?”  How could he possibly explain this to her?  “It’s something people in relationships do.”  She looked nonplussed, “We’re in a relationship. I’m your pet.”  “It’s—people who don’t have a sexual relationship don’t bathe together, Rhaenyra.”  She smiled, “Okay—so we’ll have sex first!”  “No.” He insisted. 

🐈 Chapter Six 🐈

Day two with his Rhaenyra. Humanity is returning to her brain at last, she is still a handful but she is one who remembers where she came from.

Or, rather, who her father is.

It's someone Daemon knows too. Sort of. Because they are technically brothers.

🐈 Chapter Seven 🐈

“Rhaenyra.” He hissed, only to get a sleepy. “Hmmm?” In response.  “Did you pretend to be asleep just to get out of wearing clothes?” He asked, almost aghast.  He felt her shift, tilting her head so she could shower his chest in kisses.  “That isn’t an answer.” He said firmly.  “Don’t be mad at me,” she pleaded, followed by,  “It isn’t my fault that it worked.”  He snorted. “I’m not mad at you.” He said, and he meant it—he was mad at himself for falling for it.  He sighed, stroking her soft hair and enjoying how warm she was. How could he possibly be mad at that? “Goodnight, kitten.” He said, as she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck.  He was almost looking forward to the morning. To spending more time with her. God he really was fucked.  But as long as he didn’t actually fuck her it was fine.  Or, that was what he told himself—it helped him sleep at night.

🐈 Chapter Eight 🐈

Daemon's maid comes to tidy things and ends up dirtying someone's mind in the process. Rhaenyra might have hissed at the vacuum cleaner and her offer to help change the sheets went unaccepted when she refused to stop sitting on the sheets.

Meanwhile, Daemon's dick is very confused. It isn't helped by Rhaenyra's incessant texting of her new discoveries (and photos) found while googling human cream.

🐈 Chapter Nine 🐈

“I want kittens.” She told Daemon, pouting up at him from her place on the floor. He was nearby—on the couch—on his laptop—ignoring her.  The jerk.  Sometimes she mourned the days where she could show her displeasure by peeing on things. She knew that was inappropriate human adult behavior but ugh. How else was she supposed to train him? “Daemon.” She reached out, tickling the bottom of his foot to get his attention and giggling as he jerked and swore, laptop slipping onto the cushion beside him.  Good.  “I want kittens.” She repeated now that she had his attention. The ones surrounding her at that moment obviously didn’t count. They were from the rescue, under her 24/7 at home care given their small size and age. It was a responsibility she was soon granted, given the creature's obvious ease around her, no matter what background they came from. But they weren’t hers.  Daemon shook his head. “You are enough for me, kitten, I can’t handle another.” He said.  That was their deal—she could foster kittens but not adopt any. Not yet. But obviously, she wasn’t talking about real kittens. She huffed, turning back to the fluffy tabby that had crawled onto her chest. It butted against her breast and wailed. She sighed apologetically, “Sorry, I can’t make cream like daddy does.”  Daemon made a strangled noise behind her, whether to the reference to cream or to him being a daddy, she wasn’t sure. She didn’t really care. She was distracted, stroking the kitten that nuzzled more insistently against the little nub that protruded from the printed cotton of her bra.  I can’t make cream like daddy does, yet. She thought to herself.  Maybe soon, though.

those give you a taste but as i said, the whole thing is on ao3!

[acacia-may]

So, before you hit your romance limit, can I request my two Black Clover OC ships? Solid x Rosette and Fuegoleon x Lital. You probably need to read their profiles first, if you haven't yet. I have a tag My Black Clover OC ☘️, hope it will help you. And to give some platonic bond too, Acier & Nozel and Finral & Gauche too?

Hi there Vilandel, and thank you so much for the ask! I'd be delighted to share some thoughts with you. 💕

Solid x Rosette

I am so happy you sent in this ask and told me about Solid x Rosette because this ship is absolutely my cup of tea (and not just because they're not super gooey and romantic. [A/N: Me neither Sosette] though I do have an affinity for more pragmatic couples who are very devoted to each other even if they're not super traditionally romantic and/or are more private about their affections). The big appeal here for me is that I've always had this intense fascination with arranged marriage to lovers. I have no explanation for this, but it's an absolutely fascinating dynamic to me and something I really enjoy exploring. I'll admit that maybe I'm biased because I also chose the arranged marriage to lovers dynamic for my own Black Clover OC x CC ship, but I think it just fits the nobility and strict social order of the Clover Kingdom so perfectly in my opinion and works so incredibly well for the story you've created for Sosette.

I love the idea of Solid entering this arranged marriage because "it's what you do," but then finding himself engaged to someone kind and perceptive enough to see beyond his haughtiness to realize he isn't just a shallow snob. He is moved by the fact she trusts him, and she brings out the best in him by believing it's there. Then he has his little panic moment of "Oh no! I fell in love with my fiancee!" This is the good stuff! Also, Rosette is super cool in her own right, and I adore her (and her friendship with my girl Charmy! YES!!). I love that she's so calm, collected, and perceptive. Also she's a detective? That's so awesome (and the Poirot reference had me squealing). Also, her glass magic sounds super interesting! I'll admit I never really thought of Solid Silva as a romantic being before, but Rosette's profile and your little one shot about them sold me. They're canon now. I don't make the rules.

Lital x Fuegoleon

Lital sounds lovely as well, and her backstory is really compelling (especially the story of her adoption which was so moving and so wholesome). I love the slow burn nature of her relationship with Fuegoleon, their long history with each other, and how they bonded over being on the same magic knights' squad. I'll admit I'm not as feral about it as Sosette (seriously, I just adore that ship now), but it seems like a very sweet pairing and I'd definitely be on board for it too!

Some Platonic Bond Thoughts Too? I'm So Spoiled! 😁 Thank you so much for this! Platonic relationships are truly my real passion, so it means a lot to me to be indulged to ramble about them as well.

Mother and Son: Acier and Nozel Silva

The bond between Nozel and Acier is so incredibly compelling to me. It's nice to see such a healthy and wholesome mother and son relationship, and the series does such an incredible job of showing just how much Nozel's love for his mom and his desire to make her proud and live up to her legacy has motivated and affected him. I adore them.

Finral and Gauche Friendship

I don't think I've ever really thought about this one before, but as soon as I read your ask, I had this very vivid thought of them bonding over gushing about how much love their younger siblings (I'm sure Langris would hate that...but luckily he's not there 😂😅). That said, it's a little hard for me personally to imagine that Finral wouldn't get on Gauche's nerves, so I'm not sure I can see them as besties in the same way as Gauche and Gordon for instance, but I do like the concept of an unlikely friendship between them and them bonding over their roles as big brothers. 😊

[wataksampingan]

So... Episode 65 was released on Fast Pass today.

Spoilers for Episode 65-67 and some parts of the webnovel

Intriguing how one or two readers were able to correctly guess that Dodolea had assaulted Theo. I had to bumble around Naver, earn cookies one pair at a time and be rewarded by having my heart ripped out of my chest when I read what happened to him.

(”Watak, the signs were so obvious, how could you not tell?” I dunno man, I thought this was going to be supernatural magic and curses, not actual literal sexual assault). The screaming and gnashing of teeth in the next chapter is going to be wild.

How far Dodolea went is left vague-ish on purpose, I expect, though the drugging is in itself already enough to condemn her. I don’t know what sort of explanation (not endorsement) will be given for her actions considering that when Theo bolted out of there, her expression is LITERALLY “o.o”

What the fuck is going on with her? Is she going to be, as the webnovel proceeded to explain, possessed by some witch that’s obsessed with a past reincarnation of Theo? Is this witch so ancient that sexual assault is not in her vocabulary? Is the real Dodolea already dead? Is this going to take some other less supernatural turn? seungu what are you planning?? I have so many questions???

Theo’s soft-hearted nature is going to be the death of him. And I’m going to strangle this palace aide - who was only doing his job - but nonetheless. If I were Gloria/Phineas/Saoirse and found out about this conversation, I would chuck him into a sewer and leave him there for a day.

“Think about what she had to go through in society after you refused to marry her”??

Listen here, you absurd little 7:3 hair ratio man.

The woman is a princess of the blood, significantly above his station as grand duke. The only reputation she’s gained is the misfortune to be besotted by this man who’s married, and perhaps an embarrassing way of showing it. The worst thing the nobles could have said was “well, that was very gauche of the princess, what an unfortunate choice, she has no taste in men, why does she keep trying” Clearly, she still can move about in polite society without censure coz she keeps fucking showing up to mess with Perry, make vaguely threatening remarks and just generally be creepy. Like, all of that has been on her. A princess of Castor, with such a powerful family, cannot possibly be taken down so easily in social circles.

His reputation, on the other hand, despite all the admiration from the average citizen, is way worse than hers, and always has been. He’s the one whose first wife moved out after two months, claiming he was the worst husband AND he’s a supposed war fiend, bloodthirsty and vicious. I get that gossip can be fatal but Dodolea is not about to be further humiliated by him walking out. He’s already built up a reputation for being cold and rude and giving people the cut direct so why should this be any different? 

Yes, yes, princess of Castor bla bla bla - but what’s your point??

But NO, he had to think of her despite himself, despite the emperor’s shitty behaviour and what she did to him. The LOOK on his face when the servant asked him not to sUbJeCt hEr To MoRe HuMiLiAtIoN (I still find this the most efficient orthographic way to convey sarcasm; my apologies if you find this offputting).

He sat there, subjecting himself to a panic attack and PTSD because he, at the heart of everything, actually seems to care about people. Even the reason he took the drugged drink from Dodolea’s servant in the past was because that man told him how much he admired the grand duke, and seemed to sincerely want his approval. So Theo took the drink to be polite. And suffered for it.

No wonder Daniel’s smoking by episode 66. I’d pick up a cigarillo/cigar too if I had to work under these conditions.

At least Episode 67 has Theo on... some kind of mend. And we get to see Phineas yell at him for being An Absolute Idiot. You can just about tell which panel involves him wondering why he went to all that trouble of going to med school (or its equivalent in this universe) when his own nephew insists on being Stupid.

(In case it’s not clear, I love Phineas with my whole heart and each time he looks like he wants to quit and become a humble radish farmer in the country, my love for him grows three times larger.)

I'll also have to be patient and wait to see what sort of hobby Theo apparently indulges in and is thoroughly embarrassed to be found out about (interior design/architecture wasn’t what I’d expected but y’know what, go off your grace). I don’t think I have it in me to download more random apps to earn free cookies for Naver. Then again, considering the medium lengths I’ve already gone to for this manhwa, who can say really?

Pictured: the relationship I have with this manhwa apparently

Chapter 6 has arrived, hope y’all enjoy it

——————————————————————————————-

Gauche had woken up early so that he and Marie could go to the clover mall when the day was at its nicest. He and his angel sister walked around for hours looking at different stores, and Gauche offered to buy Marie as many dresses she wanted but she denied, due to the fact Gauche would always buy too much. But can you blame him, he believed his sister deserved everything, from a young age they were orphaned, their family having taken away their inheritance when their parents died, leaving them for the streets where they for several years have lived until Teresa found them. He promised himself he would give everything Marie deserved, whether that be toy, dresses, or love, but recently he has noticed she seems like she wanted something, not toys or material objects. More so, he would see her stare at couples walking with their kids, and Gauche knew what she wanted; a family.

Gauche didn’t know how to give her that, it was something he couldn’t buy or gift her, sure they had the Teresa as well as Rebecca and her siblings, but he felt like that wasn’t enough for her, but how do you give your sister a proper family, the only would for that would be getting adopted or him getting into a relationship, which both were out of the question. He wouldn’t let either of them get adopted, mainly because he’s already an adult and Marie already had a guardian, and second he had no time for a relationship, being a spy meant he was always too busy, and he could never trust people outside the organization. So what was he to do?

“Brother?” Marie’s voice brought him out of his thoughts.

“Yes Marie?”

“When are you going to get me a sister?” Her question shocked Gauche.

“W-What?

“When are you going to get me a sister?” She asked again. Marie wasn’t dumb, she knew as well that she couldn’t get new parents, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t get a new member to her family. The only problem is she knew her brother, she also knew he didn’t really like relationships, but she hoped that someday her brother would find a nice woman to be her sister, even if it meant she would have to bug him about it for the rest of their lives. That was a risk she was willing to take.

“Marie” Gauche sighed. “I’ve told you already, I’m not looking for a relationship, they take too much time away from what’s important”

“But they are also important,” She retorted. “Do you want to be alone forever, big brother?”

“Of course not, but right now is not the time” He told her. ‘Especially with the situation with Grey’

“Then when, big brother?” She asked with a pleading look on her face.

“When I’m ready”

“But”

“When I’m ready, okay?” He said with a stern look.

“Fine” Marie said a bit down.

“How about we go to build-a-bear?” Gauche asked try to make her feel better, causing Marie to gasp in excitement.

“Really?”

“Of course, anything for you my little angel”

“Okay!” she said cheerfully.

As they got closer to the shop Marie started running off. At first Gauche thought nothing of it, until he saw she was going to run into two women, but before he could stop her it was too late as she and one of the women collided, both falling down. “Marie!” he called out as he went over to his sister.

“Don’t run off like that, you could have gotten hurt, not to mention you ran into-” It was only now Gauche realized who the two women were. Vanessa and Grey, the former helping Grey get up. Now he was screwed, the girl that made him feel weird and the biggest teaser in the whole organization was standing in front of him and his sister, both greeted him. Gauche was going to greet them back, but then his sister said something to Grey that Gauche wasn’t prepared for.

“Will you be my sister”
