Stuart Lloyd x Reader || Drabble
Tumblr media
Plot: At the end of your third date, Stuart still hasn't made a move. Not even kissed you. And you've been polite, and waited, because he seems the sort to enjoy feeling as if he's in charge despite the awkwardness and the obliviousness- but you have HAD IT! He is driving you crazy. You're takin the reigns.
Warnings: Nothing really. Gently suggested age difference.
This man is killing you. Killing you! Ugh.
Does he even notice how heavily you have been laying it on all night?? Does- does he even know this is a date!?
Surely. S u r e l y, he does. He's not a dumb person; he's a very smart person actually. Thats one of the things you like about him!
But... then... why... is he torturing you!?!?
You're a nice person! You always round up for charity, you always buy the tote bags, and you n e v e r complain when your food is wrong! You don't deserve this! For goodness sake!
And yet here you are at the end of a date sitting next to Stuart on his couch kindly listening to the cute man waffle on and 'teach you' about video editing and all the little gadgets on the tool bar that you could really not possibly care less about- whilst still wearing your pants. For petes sake, you put on the expensive spray, tonight.
... Did your eye just twitch?-
Ugh! Fine! Enough! You give in!- You will make the move. You tried to be submissive and wait for him, but the man has lost that privilege for now. Maybe later he can earn it back, but for right now? You're taking the lead.
~
When Y/N releases a sigh at my shoulder and it catches my attention, spurring me to look away from my laptop and raise my brows at them. All night its been a struggle not to stare, which is why I suggested showing the editing software they seemed interested in at dinner, and I try to focus on their face now, too. ... But its difficult- "Was- was that too complicated? I can explain differently- "
"No, no, thats okay. I got it." They smile; sugary sweet. "But, um- Okay look," They lay their hands on my shoulders, ensuring I remain facing them. The smile turns small and gentle. "Listen," A huff slips out of them, a determined look in their eyes now. "Are you attracted to me, or not?"
"Oh- uhm- I am." Where is this going?? Of course I-
"... you wanna kiss me?"
"... yes, but- "
Abruptly the small and gentle smile turns into a bemused, frustrated grimace. Still adorable, but- "Then what have you been waiting for, old man??"
... I cant take my eyes off Y/N, now. "Wh- what??" A chuckle escapes me, shocked at her sudden boldness. 'Old man', pft. They seem to like this 'old man', plenty. 3 dates worth, in fact. "I was getting to that- "
Another sigh slips out of them, halfway wistful and halfway exasperated with me. "You're taking too long. Kiss me."
Kiss me. Thats new; No ones ever begged me to kiss them, before. Especially not someone so... pretty. Its an interesting, feeling. I like it. A crooked grin wriggles across my face looking at them. "... say that again? I didn't quite hear- "
Before I can hear it again, though, one of Y/N's hands slips around the back of my neck and they kiss me. Clearly, to shut me up.
... I don't mind.

Day 17: Thursday January 16th, 2025 [Osaka]
Breakfast: konbini coffee & snacks
Lunch: ¥10 pan - crappy custard waffle
Dinner: Sumo bento, sake & ice cream sando
Steps: 19,674
I was excited to visit today’s shrine and we were up early to make sure we could make the most of our day. We got a train and a bus to Katsou-Ji temple, in our itinerary as ‘angry boy shrine’. My favourite Japanese motif is the Daruma doll and this shrine was full of them! The trip was expensive - about $13 each for public transport and then $10 each for entrance. Worth it though!
The grounds of the temple were beautiful and built into the side of a mountain. On arrival we got given a blank postcard and there were 6 stamps to collect that formed a full image of Daruma dolls. Cute! We walked up towards the temple where we bought a blank Kachi-Daruma doll to write our goals on.
We followed the steps here:
https://katsuo-ji-temple.or.jp/audioguidance/index.php
Walking back down the hill, we could see hundreds of tiny Daruma dolls that people had lined up along the path - it was adorable. I am glad we got the bigger ones to take home though.
We got the bus back down the mountain at 11:30am and got the train to Osaka Castle. I’d pre-purchased an open-date ticket and was glad of it as when we arrived there was a snaking queue for the ticket booth. We walked right past it and into the castle.
Osaka Castle is in the middle of Osaka Castle Gardens and really catches the afternoon sun with its gilded embellishments. It really is a stunning building. Inside is a museum and a lot of it pertained to the end of the Edo era. We were hoping, like the other castle we visited, to see recreations of how the building was used during its prime, but it had been refurbished inside and mostly housed paintings and small video screens, which was a bit disappointing. We made our way up to the top mezzanine and enjoyed 360° views of the gardens and city skyline. I’d really hit a wall by this point and was craving a nap. We hadn’t really had anything to eat and were both fatigued. We caught the train back to our apartment and indulged in a two-hour nap.
We left the hotel again at 5:30pm. Morgan had booked us tickets to a Sumo Experience Show. We had missed the official sumo wrestling season, but this touristy show still gave us a taste. We walked through another crazy-busy and never ending shopping district called Ebisu Bashi Suji and were both in awe about the constant consumerism that seems to have a chokehold on Japan. We stopped at a Pokémon store to find a gift for Morgan’s sister but they didn’t have the right stuff so we moved on.
The Sumo Experience was hilarious. Way more performative than regular Sumo, there was a female MC who spoke to everyone in English and our ticket included a bento box and sake on arrival. We also had a fan and magnet on our seats. There were 4 Sumo performers who opened the show with the a dramatic re-telling of the history of sumo then had 3 rounds of wrestling after demonstrating the rules. The final act invited audience members to challenge the wrestlers - it was adorable! 2 kids and one mum got called to the stage and the Sumos were dramatically defeated by all of them after initially stonewalling them. A kid of about 6, Archie, was the best. He really thought he got knock his Sumo over then got flipped 360° and gently put down before his Suno feigned a fall and we all cheered for Archie’s victory! After the show we lined up for a photo with the cast and left in good spirits.
On the walk back to our hotel we looked in a few shops and visited a gaming arcade. Morgan tried to win me a CinnamonRoll plushie and it was hot property - 3 other couples tried to win it. None of us were successful. Morgan bought some gochapon toys for friends and I bought some Haircare as gifts.
We got back to our hotel at 10pm and were exhausted after our second biggest day of walking. We watched some Japanese TV, without any clue what was happening, and hit the hay. Universal studios tomorrow!

Day 19 The Long-Lost Holiday Melody (Paultin Seppa)
Tumblr media
Y/N'S POV
The snow had begun to fall gently as I stood on the outskirts of the Waffle Crew's latest campsite, my eyes glimmering with curiosity. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect from this group, especially with Paultin Seppa—a fellow Bard—within our ranks. We weren’t exactly friends, but we were civil. His charming smile always seemed to hide something beneath it, something I couldn’t quite place. Still, we had a mission, and that was enough to keep us focused.
Diath Woodrow, the leader of this ragtag crew, adjusted his cloak and motioned for everyone to gather. Strix, our sorcerer and resident worrywart, was pacing, muttering about the dangers ahead. Evelyn, on the other hand, had her bright, almost childlike smile as she gazed out at the snowy landscape, humming a tune I couldn’t place. I glanced at Paultin, who was, as usual, nursing a flask. I could almost feel the weight of his silence—an unspoken history that I knew better than to ask about.
“You all ready?” Diath’s voice broke my thoughts as he looked at each of us with that protective gaze. I could feel his concern for the group, even if he never showed it outright. He had a way of making everyone feel safe, even in the most dangerous of situations.
“I’ll be fine,” Strix grumbled, adjusting her robes and glancing nervously at the path ahead. “But this is going to be a nightmare if we’re not careful. I have a bad feeling about it.”
“You always have a bad feeling about everything,” Evelyn chimed in with her usual brightness, stepping forward, oblivious to Strix’s concerns. “But it’ll be fine! We’ll find the melody and have a wonderful time. I just know it.”
I couldn’t help but smile at her infectious optimism. If there was one thing Evelyn was good at, it was brightening up even the darkest of moments. She had a way of holding onto hope, even when things seemed impossible.
“Alright,” Diath said, his tone serious but still warm. “We’re looking for the Long-Lost Holiday Melody. The rumors say it’s a song so powerful, it can bring about peace during even the most troubled times.”
I raised an eyebrow, trying to conceal my skepticism. “A melody, you say?”
Paultin chuckled softly beside me, his voice low and gravelly. “Don’t knock it until you’ve heard it, sweetheart. There’s magic in music, you know.”
I shot him a sideways glance. His easygoing demeanor always seemed to be at odds with his brooding nature. “I’m sure it’s magical. But I’m not sure I believe in fairy tales.”
“I think it’s more than a fairy tale,” Diath interjected, his gaze steady as he studied the path ahead. “I believe it’s something worth finding, for all our sakes. Let’s move out.”
As we traveled, the cold air bit at my skin, but the warmth of the group’s camaraderie kept me going. Paultin fell into step beside me, his presence as silent as ever. Every now and then, I caught a glimpse of him peering through the snowflakes, his eyes thoughtful. He didn’t say much, but I knew better than to think that meant nothing was going on in that head of his.
We trudged through snowdrifts and across frozen rivers, Evelyn singing songs of hope and light, Strix muttering incantations under her breath, and Diath leading us with an unwavering determination. The journey was long, but there was something comforting about the way we all fit together, each of us playing our part, however imperfectly.
Finally, we reached the ancient ruins where the melody was said to be hidden. The place was eerie, a dark reminder of times long past, its walls covered in frost. But beneath that cold exterior, I could feel a strange energy, like the heartbeat of something forgotten but powerful.
“It’s here,” Diath said softly, scanning the surroundings. “We just have to find the key.”
Paultin stepped forward, his fingers brushing over the icy stone. “The key, huh?” he mused, his voice barely above a whisper. “I think I’ve heard this song before…”
My heart skipped a beat at his words. He’s heard it?
Before I could question him, Evelyn stepped into the center of the ruins, her bright smile unfazed by the surroundings. She closed her eyes and raised her arms, as if she were about to dance with the winds themselves.
And then, it happened.
A soft, haunting melody filled the air, as if the very ruins were breathing life back into the world. The snowflakes danced in time with the music, and for a moment, everything felt right. Even Strix’s nervous energy seemed to calm, her eyes wide with awe. Diath looked at each of us, his expression softening.
“This is it,” he murmured.
Paultin turned to me, his eyes glinting with something I hadn’t seen before—hope, maybe? For once, I couldn’t look away. “Guess you were right. There’s magic in music after all.”
I smiled, feeling the weight of the moment settle on my chest. The Long-Lost Holiday Melody had been found, and with it, the peace we all so desperately needed.
For the first time since joining this strange crew, I felt like I belonged. Not just as a bard, but as part of something greater than myself.
And maybe, just maybe, Paultin and I weren’t so different after all.
As the melody played on, I closed my eyes and let it wash over me, knowing that this holiday would be one to remember forever.

The Unmistake - Part Two
(Second part of this fanfiction, sorry it wasn’t uploaded before I was on holiday.) 
For the next month I got really into my pregnancy, I was still being sick and I was yet to show or tell anyone but I had had my first scan and I was all in. However, I couldn’t get over the fact He didn’t know. I had started calling him He in my head because saying Austin had made me feel even worse about not telling him. I could not say the amount of times my finger had hovered over the send button but I just couldn’t. Not for something like this. It was too important. While I was still completely terrified and not trying to get my hopes up in such early days (PSA they were as high as a kite) this baby was a miracle to me already. After having a difficult time accepting motherhood was something I would never experience it was an inconceivable, extremely happy shock. And while I expected nothing from him, I still felt He had a right to know.
I devised a plan. I wrote a carefully crafted letter, stuck in an envelope, and got on a train to the club I went to over a month ago. In the daytime it looked to be a restaurant. I walked in the surrounding areas, no idea where he had taken me that night, but only knowing it hadn’t been far. Eventually I found the hotel building, I recognized the lobby. I walked in as confidently as I could in attempts to not look lost or suspicious, straight to the lift and jammed the top floor button, because all rich people stay on the top floor right?
Thankfully there was just one door on the top floor, I approached to put the letter through the letter box, but there literally wasn’t one. “Shit,” I whispered. So I did the next best thing I could think of and started trying to slip it under the door. However, it was quite bulky what with a waffling extract about why I was keeping the baby, how he didn’t have to be involved at all, how I just thought he should know, a scan picture so he might actually believe me, ect. I guess I must have gotten quite frustrated and loud with my swearing in the end as I tried to jam it through the small space, that I heard footsteps coming to the door. I jolted up from the floor as the door opened and I saw him.
His blond hair now jet black and looking at me with brow furrowed. “Can I help you?” he asked standoffishly. Jeez what to say right now. I looked to my shoes. “I’ve come to give you a letter.”                                                                                “Okay?” he replied, “So why didn’t you just leave it in the mailbox?” He pointed to the metal box attached to the wall. Oh for god’s fucking sake. “Oh well its just kind of important.” I covered, meeting his gaze. His face changed from annoyance to confusion, then back to annoyance. “I know you.” He accused. “You do?” I asked sweetly. “Yes, I do, you’re that girl from the club that just left without a trace. Quite rude if I have to say, I was going to make breakfast.” While I did agree what I did was kind of rude I didn’t think a big actor would think one girl leaving him was that deep. “Now what do you want?”                                      I sighed, “To just give you this letter is all.”                                                              “And is this letter worth reading?”                                                                          “Well like I said it is kind of important. To me at least.” He let out a non-committal grunt and I turned on my heel ready to leave. The whole point of this plan was to have not seen him unless he actually wanted to be involved.                                                                                                                                                              “I’ll give it a read.” I got into the lift.
                                                           ~~~
When I got home, I just stared at my phone. I’d left my number and address on the letter thinking if he wanted to be involved, he’d call. I didn’t move, I just watched and waited, I could have been sat there for hours or maybe only ten minutes. But when my phone rung, I answered on the first ring. His voice sounded through the phone. “Hi this is Austin,” he sniffed loudly, “That shit just made me cry.” His tone so sweet in comparison to that of two hours ago. He let out a small chuckle and I copied. “So what do you think?” I asked meekly.            “Babe, you do whatever you feel’s best, and if you let me, I gonna be there.” I felt myself blush, I was surprised at how openly genuine he was being. “Can I come to the next scan please?” Gosh he was being for real.                                   “Yeah, sure it’s next Monday, 11 o’clock. The address of the place is on the scan picture.”                                                                                                              “Okay that should be fine. I’ll be there.” Then we politely ended the call. I exhaled; I was just in disbelief at how well he had taken it. How he had believed me! From as much as I knew about this Austin Butler, which really was very little, he was still able to come across as an alright bloke. Calmed by the fact he finally knew and maybe just the fact anyone knew, I slept easy for the first time in weeks.

For a short hunger drabble, how about someone figuring out how to make their shitty paycheck last the month, then walking by a delicious smelling food establishment and the hunger really tearing through them, but knowing they can't afford to go in. Bonus points if a kind employee notices and offers something, but pride/embarrassment keeps them from accepting, only to come back a week later worse off and hoping the kindness remained.
(I deviated from the "walking past the establishment" bit because this felt right. And the next week part is implied, or maybe I'll come back and do a part two sometime. Thank you so much for the prompt!!)
CW: financial difficulties.
___
It was lashing rain outside, and Asher was starving, when he got the text to say that Jayden was standing him up. Again.
For fuck's sake.
Asher let his phone clatter onto the coffee table, with an immediate stab of regret. He couldn't exactly afford to be flippant with his belongings; if something happened to that phone, he'd have to go begging for a loan of someone's old one.
He couldn't believe he'd just spent €3.50 on coffee, which could have scored him a few multipacks of baked beans, or two whole weeks' worth of dry food for Sparks, for the sake of waiting around to see Jayden.
The black liquid was burning a hole in his stomach.
Then again, Asher couldn't be sure it wasn't burning anger that was doing a number on his insides.
At least he was entitled to a free refill; might as well stretch his already-spent money as far as it would go, he thought bitterly, picking up his cup and wandering up to the barista.
They had been cleaning down the foamer, but they turned to him with a smile when they saw him approach.
"Another?" they asked, smoothly taking his cup.
"Please."
Why not? My social life and financial stability are falling to shit all around me. I may as well be highly caffeinated.
"Can - could I get it to go, actually?"
"Yeah," the barista nodded. "That's no problem."
The barista turned away to replace Asher's mug and pour him a fresh one in a paper cup.
He couldn't help but let his eyes wander towards the menu - why were there so many kinds of coffee anyway? For people like Jayden, so they can sound smarter and more sophisticated when they order - and the food display cabinet.
It was late in the afternoon, but they had just put out a new spread of sandwiches, muffins, and scones. Everything looked so much more appealing than the two frozen waffles that Asher would carefully remove from the packet, and place inside the toaster until they weren't sickening pale to look at.
His stomach let out a pitiful whine at the thought, already dissatisfied with the stature of its main meal. The cramp that slid through his organs was so painful that he couldn't help but press a hand to his belly through his thin hoodie, breath shuddering as he struggled to compose himself.
"I can..."
Asher jumped, realising the barista had come back to him with his coffee in a to-go cup. They cleared their throat.
"I can do a sandwich up for you," they said quietly. They sounded like a secret agent preparing to hand over nuclear codes. "It's no problem."
Asher blinked, his brain refusing to put together what was going on. He was officially dishevelled enough (was it his fault the hot water had been shut off while the building's landlord was out of town?), and had paid earlier in small enough change, that the barista at S.A. had figured out how badly he was struggling.
It was almost enough to bring him to his knees, if the hunger cramps didn't beat it to it.
"Oh... no, no, that's - I'm not - th-that's okay." Tears sprang to Asher's eyes as he wrapped his hands around his coffee, praying the cup wouldn't become too soggy by the time he made it home. "Thank - thank you."
It's okay for now, he thought, as he headed towards the door, towards the storm. He...
Damn it, he would really need to get a new bag of food for Sparks next week, and his next injection was coming up too, not to mention rent...
He took a delicate sip near the door, hoping the hot, thickly fruity liquid would calm the churning ache in his stomach for now.
He couldn't help glancing back over at the barista, intending to cast them a grateful half-smile, should he find himself in need of being in their good books this time next week, but they had already gone back to cleaning up.

Would you like to tell me about your ocs
uhhhh what ocs. ive never had one of those in my life.
ok like in all honesty the last few months(?) have just been me fixating on a rotating series of indulgent throwaway characters and scenarios that feel like they change out every week but i suspect if i kept notes its actually probably like every other day. they entertain me while my interest holds, and if i don’t make Something™ out of each and every one of them, thats okay. Maybe a couple of them will eventually cycle back in and i’ll figure out something to do with them, idk.
That said I dug through the last yearish(?)’s worth of content I can remember to try and find anything reasonably interesting and/or shelf-stable:
Magicalgirlverse - one of the only things ive actually written for in a while. most of them are underdeveloped (ie. pending literally any development). I know there’s a hearts/love-themed magical girl, a flower magical girl, a sun moon stars trio, a wolf magical girl, and one whose original prompt was “godzilla”.
The problem is... I thought it would be fun to give one of them a monster boyfriend, and then I thought it would be sad if all his friends were dead or evil, so I added a second monster boyfriend, who is very angry with the first one, and then the drama between them hijacked the plot.
The magical girls will get to be the center of their own story. Eventually. I hope.
Characters I can reasonably describe in any detail so far:
Bright Angel Queen: hearts magical girl. Not quite an endless font of compassion, but she tries. Her real name is Hestia and yes she picked it.
Scythe: Monster boyfriend (sad). Used to be evil but defected out of love for Hestia. Has a very goth civiliansona (defaults to his true from in private, no i don't know what he looks like). Used to have four brothers and would literally rip his heart out of his chest to save the last of them.
Shadow: Monster boyfriend (angry). Used to be (?) evil but left because everyone he cared about was dead, abandoned him, or in Dark Glory’s case, in danger if they stayed. Would watch Scythe rip his heart out of his chest for his sake, and still spit in his face.
Dark Glory: wolf magical girl. Morally ambiguous. Solitary. Traumatized. Would die for Shadow (he would never allow it).
Princess Pixie Victory Screamer: an eight-year-old girl who wants nothing more than to be a T-rex when she grows up. Some people shorten her name to Pixie. Scythe shortens it to Screamer.
Ardanath – I waffled about whether to mention this one, both because of the subject matter and also because she’s only been around for like a week and I don’t know if she’ll stick, but by all metrics she’s the oc I’ve most recently been rotating in my mind, so.
Ardanath is a princess whose mother (a local morally ambiguous overlord) was murdered by a rival evil overlord, who then kidnapped Ardanath and made her marry him. Honestly, she wasnt supposed to be on this list; she was an npc in a solo ttrpg I played about one of her mother’s warriors (and Ardanath’s father) trying to save her and I was planning to move on from this scenario afterwards but then he failed, and DIED, and it was very upsetting, and I couldn’t just LEAVE her like that she deserves closure. And revenge.
It’s gonna be a rough next couple of years for her, but she will endure, reject her affinity for spring and fertility and instead become the avatar of autumn, death, and decay, murder a bunch of her children (i know she leaves at least one of them alive), resurrect her father as an undead thrall because he would be a loyal and reliable source of eternal servitude, get her revenge, and become an evil overlord in her own right, just like her parents always wanted her to be.
I don’t know if it would be pragmatic for her to make her husband suffer before he dies but I hope she gets to.
Wrath – this one is hard to explain because in helping a friend develop their oc I found my interpretation of the premise so compelling i stole her to make in my own image but since I stripped out all the lore and havent filled in anything new I don’t... know how she gets here.
I know she’s basically a rogue lab experiment (I don’t know who made her or why), named herself Wrath (I don’t know why she’s angry), and has some specific form of magic that erodes her sanity and sense of self if mismanaged (I don’t know what the magic actually does but it was mismanaged). One of the people who contributed to her creation is a wizard who had the same magic as her but he left the project ages ago, tbd to what extent his participation was voluntary and fully-informed, if he knows she exists and how she was treated, etc.
idk I just think it would be funny if she just randomly shows up in this guy's house, covered in blood and like 70% sane on a good day, and wants his help with this one thing and isnt interested in any deeper relationship, and this is how he finds out she exists.
They will eventually found family each other but she already has a found family and isn’t interested in being daughtered so it’s one-sided at first. She keeps disappearing for weeks or months at a time and he keeps trying to delicately ask where she goes (elsewhere) and what she’s doing (crime) and if anyone is looking out for her (other, equally dysfunctional escaped lab experiments) and whose blood is that anyway (hers, now) and she keeps getting bored with his concerns and wandering off to go kill someone. I love her.

I'm not really active in the MHA fandom or blog- but I agree a lot with your points on OH. To be fair though- I don't think weekly schedule in itself facilitate great writing imo b/c Mangaka's don't have the time to revise their drafts (they get usually max 6 hours of time to work on each page- everything from name to final touch ups- monthly authors get up to 2 days for each page), there's literally not enough time to think, reread or to adjust things. But I think Hori's reaching a point where it's not sustainable for him to keep at the pace he started MHA with. So he's cutting corners to move the plot faster- but compressed plotlines will come with executional pitfalls. That's just the limits of the medium when you don't have a dedicated writer/ don't have everything pre-planned. It's getting more apparant now, because we're in the final arc- and people are expecting pay offs to start happening. And in considering that the 'conversation' deku and OH had was supposed to be payoff on OH's character thread? It's a lotta waffling imo. I'm over it at this point- because If Hori is actually doing this because it's for his own health- then I'd rather he do that. regardless of whether I like his story or not- it's still his story- so the priority imo is so long as he's happy with his work- that's what should matter more. It doesn't mean it's above critque, or that we should all like it, not at all, ones reactions are one's own, and genuine in their emotions. There's nothing wrong with expressing such on ones own blog, and tagging it in the fanom. Critiques ultimately for those of us doing so, is moreso for ourselves, either those who want to work on creating our own IP, or just want some benchmarks to keep in mind in reading future stories and anticipating what actually appeals to one's own tastes. I just want to make a shoutout of all of that, cause I can tell some of the people reblogging your OH post don't get it at all and are too busy in the "I'm right, you're wrong mindset"- which is-realistically speaking nothing new when it comes to internet fandoms- but still missing the point of what you were saying. Unfortunatly- Tumblr's reply function is pretty much ass when it comes to anything of length on an actual post though. So hope you don't mind the rando tldr from a passer by.
Heya anon, I definitely don't mind the passer-by message. You're right about Hori's ridiculous work schedule. I complained during the war arc about all the breaks, but now I definitely wish he would take a few more than he has been. Not just for the story's sake, but also for his own--it's been AGES since he had one, it seems like. And in fairness, I can hardly expect him to make the time to do a bunch of research on e.g. the detrimental psychological impact of solitary confinement on his schedule.
In truth, the rant was mostly to get it off my chest. Normally, I save my most annoyed complaining for Discord, but sometimes when it feels like no one else is saying the things I want to see said (about Deku's motivations there, about the PLF arrests, about the MLA's views on quirk supremacy, etc), my motivation overflows.
Ultimately, I've been making my peace with the idea of jettisoning canon pretty much since Chapter 240 dropped and featured a Re-Destro whose characterization I liked considerably less than Chapter 239's Re-Destro,* so the idea of writing off the canon after a certain point and just writing the fic I want to write is something I'm very prepared to do.
Still, it'd be nice to be happy with the canon itself, and I really am hoping to be! There's so much good and interesting stuff going on in the series, really challenging material, and like many others, I hope that this arc is about really pushing Hero Society and its defenders to the breaking point so that they can see that the system they have does have to change--just to pick the obvious example, I don't want to see Hawks proven right that a system that could produce him and Lady Nagant is worth salvaging just because Deku is a good person.
Thanks for the message, anon! I grew out of the phase of being bothered by people who willfully miss my point or read me in bad faith many, many fandoms ago, so I'm not too concerned with the people in the comments doing that--I've gotten some very thoughtful responses and much more traction than I'd been expecting, so I'm glad the rant reached some like-feeling people! Here's to hoping Horikoshi gets some rest, and we all can find satisfaction in the story he's working so hard to bring us.
(*Regarding 239 vs. 240's Re-Destro, while I have my problems with how the MLA is being treated in general, the canon has given me more good RD material. I will probably never be over him calling Shigaraki "savior and liberator" and getting indignant about Shigaraki's safety GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT. Also Clone!RD talking about the relief of only having to present one face to the world and wistfully reflecting on his group's sought-after Liberation as he falls into nothing I am still shook.)

your opinion on naruto?
ugh its bad. like we waffle and we make excuses but as someone who did not grow up with naruto and doesnt have the nostalgia its like. not worth how bad it is. kishimoto has made some gorgeous art and the early worldbuilding is so vivid and fascinating but the way he throws all of it out for the sake of a weirdly nationalist narrative is like. so so unpleasant to experience in real time. sasuke was right :(

540: “So sweet!”
541: “I have found your mini-me.”
542: “Babe!! We are out of formula…again!”
543: “Stop being a baby hog!”
544: “They’re gorgeous!!”
545:“This parent thing is hard!”
546: “You both are precious!”
547: “I love you both so so much!”
548: “Wake up, the baby needs you.”
549: “Momma’s little baby, yes you are.”
550:“Daddy’s little baby, yes you are.”
551: “That’s your son/daughter!”
552: “They are walking!”
553. “I love it when they fall asleep on me.”

691: “You want me to give you your book/phone/item back? Make me.”
692: “Like what you see?”
693: “We’re in public, you know.”
694: “I didn’t know you were so sensitive.”
695: “Don't be so rough. There can't be any marks.”
696: “I really don’t care. You still look hot and I’m trying not to kiss/fuck you senseless right now.”
697: “Are you sure? Once we start, I might not be able to stop.”
698: “No, I’m supposed to be making you feel good.”
699: “Make me.”
700: “Stop teasing me so much..”
701: “You’re in trouble now.”
702: “Take off your clothes.”
703: “I’m waiting.”
704: “Mine.”
705: “We cant do that here!”
706: “Behave.”
707: “What did you just say?”
708: “Come here.”
709: “Watch me.”
710: “I don’t want to hear your excuses anymore.”
711: “If you cant sleep… Then how about we have sex?”
712:“Don’t kink shame me.”
713: “If you interrupt me one more time, so help me god.”
714: “I’m going to put on some clothes before you say anything else.”
715: “Tell me what you want.”
716: “Bite me.”
717: “If you insist.”
718: “Could he make you feel as good as I do?”
719: “You’re not, um, wearing anything under that, are you..?”
720: “Are you trying to turn me on or are you really just that oblivious?”
721: “You taste like fucking candy.”
722: “The only way you’re getting off is on my thigh.”
723: “You make a sound and it's game over.”
724: “Just let me finish this/this level and I swear I'll go down on you until you cum at least three times.”
725: “If I have to stop what I’m doing, you won't be able to walk for the next week.”
726: “I could just pull your bikini bottoms to the side, no one will notice.”
727: “I haven’t even touched you and you’re already this wet.”
728: “Were you just masturbating?” “U-uh..no, I was just..”
729: “Want some help?”
730: “Shut up.”
731: “Why don’t you come over here and make me.”
732: “You’re so fucking hot when you’re mad.”
733: “We’re not just friends and you fucking know it.”
734: “C’mere, you can sit on my lap until I’m done working.”
735: “What? Does that feel good?”
736: “I’m not jealous! It's just… You’re mine!”
737: “If we get caught I’m blaming you.”
738: “We have to be quiet.”
739: “Tell me again.”
740: “You have no idea how much I want you.”
741: “Say it.”
742: “I’m gonna fuck you so hard that you forget you ever even met that asshole.”
743: “You better shut that pretty little mouth before I put it to work, doll.”
744: “I think that's the first time I’ve heard you moan… It was like a fucking melody.”
745: “I really want to kiss you right now.” “Then do it.”
746: “You’re not taking me to bed. Ever.”
747: “Who said it had to be on the bed?”
748: “She may seem like lollipops and rainbows but I bet behind closed doors she’s latex and whips.”
749: “Ah, he’s playing hard-to-get. That's cute.” 750: “For the love of fuck.”

Have a migraine, just got a painkiller shot. Anxiety is chewing on me and everything sucks. Have random bits of Snapshots from different chapters.
Eli stared at the speared fish with something close to disgust. It might've been in the neighborhood of fear, too. Was cooked fish really supposed to look like this? He was sixteen years old, but he'd never, ever seen something this...undead.
*******
The almost-pout fell away, and Kai's eyes narrowed.
"You can't keep me here."
Ronan's gaze narrowed right back. Who did Kai think he was fooling with?
"Just try me."
The staring match continued for several more seconds before Kai groaned in defeat, tugging a blanket over his head. When he spoke again, his voice was muffled.
"You win, Light damn it. I'll drink the juice, I'll stay in bed, whatever."
******
"Hey, do we still have the can opener? Or was that what you threw at the Shadows before we bailed?"
*******
Seemingly unfazed by the name-calling or the threat, Kai simply continued to scowl at her, the coat in a heap on the floor. Maya groaned, pushing her bangs out of her face. She was his mother, for Darkness's sake. Why was she arguing with him over something this stupid?
Hell, why was she arguing at all? He was eight.
*******
Eli made a face at Kai's smirk, contemplated dumping his soda on him, then thought better of it. He might not be able to open a Light Corridor quick enough to get away, and then maybe Kai would finally carry through on his threat to drop kick him through a portal into the Maw. Not worth the risk, even with lucky sneakers.
*******
The sudden crazy thought that the boy he'd just met was asking him on a date flashed across his mind. What a dumb idea, of course he wasn't-
"I'm asking you out for ice cream." Soren repeated, then paused. "Yes, like that."
For the third time that day, Ronan found himself just staring at the other boy. Soren was beginning to smirk again.
As his brother would say, oh Light.
"...Okay. Ice cream. I've got magic lessons in the morning, but I can meet you around noon?"
What was he doing, oh god.
******
"I'm back! Oh, hey Kai."
"You little shit!"
Eli laughed, running a hand back through his hair.
"Is that any way to greet your loving boyfriend?"
"Loving boyfriend my ass!"
Eli nearly choked on his laughter before managing to snark back.
"Is that an invitation?"
"That's it, I'm dropkicking your ass through a portal. Hope you like active volcanoes, Eli."
Eli squeaked as Kai scrambled to his feet, turning to dash down the hall to his bedroom.
"But we shared the paopu!"
"THAT DOESN'T COUNT!"
*****
When he walked into the kitchen, Kai was yanking waffles out of the toaster and dumping them on a plate. Well, that explained why 'Jem hadn't seemed concerned that Kai was making breakfast. Hard to mess up something like that when there was no skill involved.
******
Eli stuck his tongue out at his back before boosting himself up onto the counter.
"...I think she likes you, you know."
Kai was busy shifting various food items around on the shelf, trying to make sure he wasn't missing anything. Damn, there were Cheez-Its in here too. Eli's aunt must really like the things.
"What, Larkin? That's a problem for you, isn't it?"
He was joking, honestly.
"No, damn it." Eli blushed again, giving the island a frustrated kick with the back of his sneaker. "'Jem. I think 'Jem likes you."
The other boy paused with his head still between shelves, before slowly backing out enough to lift his head without banging into anything. He turned and gave Eli an incredulous look.
"I didn't think I hit you that hard when we were sparring yesterday. Next time tell someone when you start imagining things."
Eli smacked himself in the head. "You did, but that's got nothing to do with it! I think she's crushing on you, idiot."
*******
"He says it stole his lucky sneakers."
Kai let out a sharp laugh at Ronan's announcement, arms tucked under his head as he lay on the grass. "That's what he gets for taking a bath instead of just letting the mud dry in his hair. What's so bad about being dumped in a mud puddle anyway, I thought the kid was Nature Incarnate."
He turned his head to watch as his brother scrolled through the messages on his phone.
"His shirt and jeans were still there, and his socks...he's a little confused."
"I would be too, I've never heard of a Heartless stealing bright red sneakers. Is he sure it was a Heartless? The dork didn't just kick them under a bush or something?"

Also, Trinity post battle at the watchtower.
[[ akfjlkas I ended up doing this one first to break it up, and also bc I wanted to try writing some trinity content –“Promise you’ll go easy on him Bruce.”
“It was stupid, reckless, he could have died. I’m going tomake sure he knows just how idiotic it was.” Batman bit back, still pacing backand forth despite his own just recently patched up wounds as he and Dianawaited.
In just the other room, Superman was only barely coming to, stillfeeling the throbbing pain from the wounds closing that had only just fully hadany traces of kryptonite removed. Batman felt like punching a wall, breaking something, anything.He was going to let that super-asshole have a piece of his mind, that was for sure. How dare he. Howdare he, the one who was supposed to be invulnerable, bullet proof, scarehim like that.
Batman grit his teeth and finally stopped pacing, trying to forcehimself to breathe outside of angry huffing
.“He was trying to protect you Bruce, he… he knew he had a chance tomake it through, and he has.” Diana bit her lip, wrapping a strand of dark brown hair around her finger, half wanting to chooseher words carefully, half knowing Bruce wouldn’t enjoy being coddled. “But you,if you had been hit…”
“I’m not going to have someone else diebecause of me!” He yelled back just as the door slid open to reveal Supermanlumbering forward to intervene.
“Kal! You shouldn’t be up yet.” Diana chided, rushing to his sideto support his waffling stance.
“What you did was stupid.” Bruce said with a deadpan stare, hiseyes that had briefly scanned over Clark’s body to make sure he was healingwell and going to be okay well hidden beneath the lenses of the cowl. “Theywere counting on you rushing in. They were using me as a trap and you fellfor it.”
Clark’s lips drew into a thin line. “Does it ever occur to you,Bruce? What it would do to me, to us, to the league, to yourfamily if we lost you?”
“You’ll get over it, everyone will recover without me. There’speople that can easily take my place if I died.” Batman stated as if it were asimple fact that someone would read in their first grade textbook. “Batman willexist without me.”
Diana stared at him eyes wide and offended. “How could you saysomething like that? Of course you’d be a huge loss. I… I we loveyou, and you’d expect us to just ‘get over it’?”
Batman turned his gaze away from them. “Superman is tooimportant for the world to loose.”
Clark took a bold step forward despite the pain and dull sicknessstill coursing through his body that had yet to fully subside, annoyance atBruce trying to lecture him for saving his life starting to slip into anger.
“I’m no more important than you or anyone else!”
“That’s a lie and you know it! Plenty of people can beBatman, only you can be Super…”
“Dammit Bruce!” Clark yelled slamming his hand back against thewall in frustration. “You think I’m important?! You think “batman” can bereplaced easily?”His rage started to pool back into a deep sadness, starting tohave Clark’s previously angered gaze faltering as his mind raced.“You know who can’t be replaced? You. Bruce Wayne. If anyoneknows how painful it is to loose someone you care about, its you. Do you reallywant to do that to your kids? Put them all through loosing anotherparental figure in their lives? Do you want to make Alfred bury another personhe loves? Do you really want tell me I should haveto look down at your dead body, knowing I could have saved you and stillhad a chance at living through it to spend another day with you… and have to watch you be put into theground… and I’m supposed to just get over it?”
Batman stared downwards, still trying to doeverything to look away from Clark and Diana’s gazes. He wanted to ask for Clark’s forgiveness, be the kind person thatwould rush to their side and soothe them. Admit that he had just gotten scared.Scared that he could have died and left everything behind. Scared that he couldhave lost someone else he adored. Instead, he turned away from them.
“All I’m saying, is you should stop letting your personalissues get in the way of the greater good. If this is going to be a reoccurringissue with you… both of you, it may be best to call it off, put somedistance between us.”
Deep down, saying it made him sick, made his stomach turn. He wasbeing stubborn and yet… if he hadn’t let himself get close to them, hadn’tsomehow unknowingly tricked them both into thinking that he was someone worthloving… well then there was one less thing threatening to take people that gavethe world so much hope for the future away. He wanted to vomit, hearing thedead silence that met his statement, neither of them seemed to be breathing,and all Bruce could do was hope his heart would stop feeling like it had justbeen transformed into a 100 pound hunk of metal.
“… You look me and Diana in the eye… and say that again.”
Clark’svoice was cold, but it carried a slight shiver to it, and Bruce immediatelyknew he had to be shaking. Clark shook when he was stressed. He hadn’t known it was something superman didfor ages. It was something you would never notice unless you wereholding him while it was happening. It was a jitter so fast and so slight, not unlike the fast beat of a mouse’s heart, itwas genuinely frightening the first time Bruce had felt Clark’s hand trembleunder his.
“I don’t need to…”
“No. Kal’s right. If that’s how you really feel, what you reallywant… turn around, face us, no mask, and tell us you want to break it off, tellus you’d rather end everything than be with the people who love you.” Dianasaid firmly, words each hitting him in the back like a ton of bricks.
Bruce took a deep resolute breath despite every inch of his body fighting againstitself, he felt like he was being eaten alive from the inside out. Despite thathe slowly turned on his heel, and pulled of the cowl of thebat, and finally looked them both in the eye, opening his mouth, ready to shoothimself in the foot and put the final nail in the coffin.Then he saw them, really saw them. He saw Clark looking athim, last drops of fury clear but beginning to grow watery with tears that hadyet to fall with fear that he wasn’t going to have the man in his life anymore. He saw Diana’s intense firey gaze piercing through him,challenging him on if he was really willing to tell such a massive lie to agoddess of truth.
His words died before even reaching his tongue and absolutely nothing left his mouth, and heclosed it in shame. His fists unclenched slowly as he stared back at them, hisown icy gaze unable to challenge them, not when it held no real intention ofwanting to push them away.
“You don’t mean it, do you?” Diana asked, fire in her eyessimmering down as her voice took on a softer tone.
“…No.” Bruce finally answered truthfully.
He was a fool to think he could lie to them, truly look them in the eye and say that he didn’t want them. He couldn’t do that, not anymore.
Suddenly he was being compressed in Clark’s arms before he couldeven think about saying another word, unable to do anything to protest a softkiss being pressed against his forehead.
“I’m sorry I scared you. But.. you scared me too.” He whispered.
Damn this man for knowing him too well at this rate.
Diana joined Kal in wrapping her arms around Bruce, pressingherself against his back, her long flowing hair lightly brushing the nape ofhis neck as she softly pressed a kiss to his cheek.
“I knew it. But pleasedearest, for the sake of Kal’s nerves, we need to work on this together.”
Bruce closed his eyes, previous stubbornness and dedication toshut everyone out again -an old formula to prevent more pain, more suffering,despite it always seeming to backfire - now replaced with regret
.“…I know. I… I just… don’t want anyone to suffer because ofme.” He mumbled in response.
“I’ll try to be more careful, I’ll even let you make a plan for if something like that happens again, that we can agree on and let you train me on it withoutgetting annoyed… okay?” Clark offered.
“…fine.”
They all shared a quiet moment as some of the stress shed off thethree of them as they stayed, locked in each other’s arms, both Clark and Diana holding their bat tight.
“Now Kal… you really need to lie back down.” Diana scolded asthey slowly let go of each other.
“Alright, alright…” Clark agreed, admittedly still fatigued andin need of a little more recovery time.
“But only if you two keep me company.”
Diana squeezed Bruce’s hand encouragingly as he slipped the cowlback on.
“Of course.” Batman finally agreed, deciding to let himself bedrawn in just a little closer after trying to fling himself out.
He needed to stay with them as much as they needed him. To remindhimself… even if it was hard for him… that sometimes experiencing love andletting himself be loved, was more than worth the risk of loosing it.

Overwatch: Rehabilitation- Hanzo
Summary: Sigma has been captured by Overwatch. Hanzo, having only been inducted into the organization a few months ago himself, finds that he is looking into a distorted reflection.
   Hanzo wiped the sweat from his brow as he entered the mess hall. It was always his morning routine to work out, get his breakfast, then shower and prepare for the rest of the day. Every day since the day he had arrived here at the Watchpoint a few months ago, that was the way it had been.    The breakfast kiosk was automated and open nearly all hours of the day, including this early in the morning. Hanzo approached the kiosk, grabbed a bowl, and hit the button to dispense oatmeal. Like the kiosk, his process was automated. He didn't look at the bowl once.    He sat back down at a table near to the door. The oatmeal was too hot to eat right away. He counted the seconds, and just before he counted to zero he whispered a quick and half-hearted thanks to his ancestors for the meal. He'd thank them fully on a day where he actually deserved it.    But right now, he simply was. He was good with that- learning to exist again, without the constant thoughts of wanting to die but thinking death was too good for him, had been difficult enough. Some other time, perhaps, he could learn a hint of self-peace to fill his emptiness. Right now the silence was good enough.    He stirred his oatmeal and watched the brown ribbon of cinnamon disappear. If it was up to him, he would have ate the oatmeal plain, but the automated kiosk always gave him the additional flavor. He had been annoyed the first few times, but eventually he had decided it wasn't worth caring enough to-    "Right in here, luv. This here's the lunchroom. It's got all sorts of yummy stuff. Let's eat, shall we?"    Hanzo flinched and dropped his spoon at the sound of Tracer's irritatingly peppy voice. He scowled and dug the spoon handle out of his oatmeal. With silent footsteps, he picked up his bowl and moved to a seat against the wall. With luck, they would walk right past him.    Tracer blinked out into the center of the room. She paused and gave her eyes a tired rub, before glancing behind her.    Hanzo was aware that Overwatch had recently captured a Talon special operative, but did not expect to see said operative float in after her. The man, he was called Sigma, correct?- also looked tired, but in a different way. His face was pale and his expression was otherwise blank. Hanzo felt like he was looking into a mirror. He averted his eyes away before a shudder could go through him.    Tracer approached the breakfast kiosk. She began reading off its many buttons. "See here, we've got waffles, pancakes, eggs, sausage, oatmeal. . ."    "I'm not hungry." Sigma drifted forwards to the center of the room before stopping. His body stayed perfectly still.    "Well, I'm going to get myself some waffles. They might not be from home, but the strawberry syrup here is pretty good." Tracer pinned a smile on her face again before turning back to the kiosk. She began hitting the series of buttons for Belgian waffles.    The room was silent except for the sound of the kiosk pouring waffle batter. Tracer looked back to Sigma, shifting her gaze presumably to try and catch his eye.    "Aw, c'mon luv. You should really eat. You don't want to miss it." She now purposefully made a sad face.    Tracer was always very animated in her movements, but she was usually more genuine in emotion as well. Something was wrong here. Hanzo finished the last bite of his oatmeal, but decided to stay still.    "I think I will try it some other time." Sigma said quietly in response. "I'm not hungry."    The kiosk dinged. A plate of steaming mini-waffles slid out on a tray.    Tracer didn't take it. "Siebren, please. You need to eat."    "No, I don't," he looked away.    "Yes, you do." Tracer's tone dropped.    "I haven't been good," he shook his head.    "Please," her voice was the quietest Hanzo had ever heard her speak. "It's been days. You need to."    Once more, Sigma shook his head. "I don't deserve to."    Hanzo's breath caught in his throat at the words.    Tracer blinked forward and grabbed Sigma's hand. "Yes, you do. You deserve it! Just because you've been a little out of it every once in a while doesn't mean you need to starve yourself. Please."    "It's not that!" Sigma snapped, pulling his hand away. He jerked himself backwards, out of her reach.    "Then what is it?" She took a cautious step forward.    He clenched his fists, before turning away and clutching his shaking head. "You know what I've done. You know what I've done! I don't deserve your kindness, I don't deserve anything!"    Deserve, deserve, deserve. It had taken Hanzo ages to rid those kinds of phrases from the voices his own head. Hearing them again, spoken out loud, made his chest tighten. He closed his eyes and took deep breaths, but the feeling did not fade. He opened his eyes again.    He stood, picked up his bowl, and then stepped out into the path from the door to the kiosk. Both Tracer and Sigma turned to him, confusion evident on both their faces.    "Hanzo, luv, I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, we're sorry to disturb you-" Tracer stumbled over her words.    "Enough!" Sigma interrupted and turned back to her. "We're done here. I'm going back to my stabilization chamber."    Hanzo stepped in front of him. "No."    "N-no?" Sigma looked at him.    "No." Hanzo repeated. He took another step forward. "You need to eat."    Sigma's tone grew cold again. "This doesn't concern you. If you would, please, get out of my way."    Hanzo wanted to kick himself. Of course such simple pleading would not persuade the stubbornness of someone with nothing to live for! It didn't work on himself, after all, when he had first come here to the Watchpoint. He needed something stronger. He let all of the fanciful words he had heard from others about self-worth and forgiveness slip away until all that was left was the truth. The truth as he knew it, at least.    Hanzo took a deep breath. "If you don't keep yourself alive, then who is there to feel remorse for your actions?"    Sigma visibly flinched. His mouth opened, but no words came out. He looked away, and his gaze grew glossy and distant.    Tracer's mouth fell open and she immediately blinked beside Hanzo. She whispered in his ear. "What the bloody hell? Why would you say something like that?! That's only going to make him feel more upset-!"    Hanzo shoved her away from his side. She stumbled but managed to catch herself on a nearby table before she could hit the ground. Sigma did not react to the noise. He trembled in the air, clasping and unclasping his hands.    "Well, Sigma?" Hanzo asked to him.    In response to his name, Sigma straightened his posture. "You're right, death is too good for me."    "Then you should eat," he replied.    "No!" Sigma threw his hands down. "I don't deserve the luxury of food. Whenever I next faint, the nurses can just inject the nutrients. I'll still be alive that way."    "If you do that, your body will grow sickly." Hanzo tensed his own muscles. "You cannot do anything to atone for what you've done in such a state."    Sigma lowered his head, and as he did so, lowered in the air as well. "How could I ever atone? I've hurt so many people. . ."    "For the sake of those you have hurt, and for the sake of your own soul, you must try. I ran from my own mistakes for far too long before I learned that." Hanzo clasped his hands together to hide his own shake.    Sigma lifted his head and their gazes met. They stared into each other. Hanzo was not sure what look his own eyes held, but Sigma's eyes betrayed a familiar mess of guilt and confusion that was palpable. An eternity passed before they looked away from each other again.    Hanzo held out his empty bowl. Sigma, after a brief hesitation, took it.    "The oatmeal is the most bland and tasteless. Let me show you how to get it." Hanzo walked past him to the kiosk.    Sigma floated up behind him and set the bowl down on the kiosk. For the second time that morning, Hanzo repeated his routine. The bowl was filled with steaming oatmeal again. Hanzo reached over and grabbed a fresh spoon. He stuck it in the bowl and picked the bowl up, turning it and handing it back to Sigma, who received it wordlessly.    "It will need a minute to cool. If you sit by the wall next to the door, people won't see you if they come in." Hanzo gestured to where he had been sitting earlier.    "Why are you being so kind to me?" Sigma asked.    Those words, those had been Hanzo's first words to his brother when he had first arrived here at the Watchpoint. Why had everyone been so kind? He didn't deserve it. Their treatment of him had bothered him for weeks, before he had eventually just learned to accept it. The question still baffled him, but now. . .    Perhaps he didn't have the answer in words, but he was beginning to think that he understood it.    "You're here now, are you not?" Hanzo said simply.    Sigma did not reply. After a few shy looks, he turned and floated over to the set of seats against the wall.    Hanzo stayed put and watched. Tracer blinked on over next to where Sigma went and sat down across the table from him. To Hanzo's surprise, she stayed silent. The entire room was still, except for the subtle motions of Sigma eating his oatmeal.    Hanzo walked to the door of the mess hall and pushed out into the hallway. He walked down the corridors of the Watchpoint to the showers, once again on his usual autopilot. Once he was in the private confines of the shower, however, he prayed to his ancestors, asking for the strength and ability to help Sigma in any way he could the next time they were to meet.

What happened with your roomies if you don’t mind me asking...?
 Yknow what I’m in a mood and they don’t know my tumblr (haha they think I’m a cisstraight girl lol) so let’s get into some shit. Imma put everything under a read more bc imma rant a bit and this is gonna get long.
TW: food, unsanitary (general things not being kept clean, typically bathroom and kitchen related), drug use, fighting, slurs
tl;dr if you dont feel like reading this beast:
They steal what food i dare leave out in the kitchen rather tan keep in my room
They slam doors excessively, fight, yell horrible things to each other, have friends over yelling at like 2 am (last night for example)
Leave the doors unlocked and open?? We cant even lock the front door anymore??? (Dw the doors to our rooms all have locks. If I’m in my room or out of the house, my door is locked)
Constantly throw around the r slur. Like. All the time. Including one person having called me it. Y i k e s
One person keeps smoking in the house even though i’ve asked numerous times (and even have a note on my door) asking people to please smoke outside, it gives me headaches. You are physically hurting me stop.
Don’t Clean Anything. The kitchen is a wreck. The toilets are constantly clogging, I Am In Hell.
For context: the house is a one story house divided into a main floor and finished basement. It’s a rooming house and the basement is largely seperate from upstairs. (They have a kitchen door that they keep closed and locked.) The stairs to the basement are split into two smaller flights, with a landing in between the floors. That’s where the side door is. The public spaces upstairs are the kitchen (connects to stairs), the hallway, and the two bathrooms (big main one, tiny water closet by the front door). The rest of the upstairs is split into five rooms. For comprehension sake, we’ll call my roommates: The Couple (M&F), A, T, and J.
Mmkay lets start with the least egregious and move our way up, shall we? Theft! Of anything and everything! No one can have anything out in the public areas if they actually care about it. It. Will. Get. Stolen. Now, I have a mini fridge and the second biggest room here, so I’m lucky in that 99% of my groceries, as well as all my other belongings, fit in my room. There’s just a wee problem: I don’t have a freezer. Not to fear, past naïve me thought, I’ll just clean out and use the locked freezer since I still have the keys for that fridge! (We have two fridges and food theft was a problem beforehand and so me and my friend who lived here cleaned out the second fridge to use as our own and kept it locked.) I decided to do this after I had bought myself some ice cream, wrote my name on the top, and put it in the main freezer. I go to have some ice cream later that week, I open the tub for the first time (as in I removed the seal holding the lid onto the tub) to find that someone eaten half the tub of ice cream while making it seem like it hadn’t been opened. I know it happened at home bc the spoon marks were clear as day and I have to walk 20 minutes back from the grocery store. That woulda melted by then (Also I would’ve noticed at the store that. The tub was hella lopsided??? And way too light???) So yea of course I’m ticked now, I spent 6 bucks on that bro like just ask or get ur own??? So I put it the other freezer, and for a while it’s fine. Next month I decide to treat myself to some frozen waffles and some chicken strips and come home to find that the hinges holding the locks onto the doors of the fridge were torn out of the fridge/freezer doors. Like. The screws were pried outta this metal door rendering the locks completely useless (to the point i wouldn’t even be able to put the hinges back on.) And the cherry on top?? My ice cream was gone!!! Hope u enjoyed it, asshole. So whatever. Fine. I put my food away and. a week later?? Im like “Man i could go for some waffles rn”. I bought 2 8 packs. One chocolate chip, one cinnamon (y’all i literally buy the cheapest ones Zehrs sells. 2,19$ a box y’all. not even eggos). Surprise surprise!! The entire box of choccy chip ones GONE. Mind u, i wrote my name on all of these boxes, as well as a very large “DO NOT EAT”. so i begrudgingly had a couple (note that, 2) cinnamon waffles and move on. A couple days later I go to have some more and. The waffles are completely gone. Out of a total of 16 waffles, ya boy got a solid 2. (It’s worth noting that there was a single waffle left, but at 0,27$ a waffle, I didn’t mind leaving the box on the table with a note basically reading “these are cheap af, buy ur own bitch”.) (I didn’t swear that much tho)
I’d add the bike to the list but i can’t confirm nor deny that one of my roommates stole my tires and seat off my bike (although M does work on bikes all the time so man idk.)
Next up: wow people here are l o u d. I’m talking slamming doors all the time, slamming things around, yelling, playing music wildly loud. It’s awful. Like. You can just. Close the door quietly? Stop slamming things around please? It’s awful because loud sudden noises make me panic and lemme tell ya, wakin up at eight am bc your a-hole roommate decided to slam the door eight times bc the front door is broken because someone took the border around the jamb off instead of fixing it so we can actually?? lock that door?? because it doesnt quite fit in the jamb and so the only wat to lock it was the chain lock and. someone took that too so thats fun :)))))). The side door isn’t that much better. We have a code lock and. No One Ever Locks It. Like. I’ll come outta room and?? It’s just open????? Close the door???????????
The worst, however, is the fucking fighting. The Couple love to argue all the time. and yell at each other and slam the doors or smashing shit and they yell pretty awful things to each other. Like. I’ve heard M call his gf some awful shit. It’s worse when they have people over too. The other day there were like. 14 cops in here bc of them at like 2 am. Cue me, 2 am, trying to watch a livestream and seeing like??? Six cop cars pull up????? Wh a t????? Not fun not good for my brain.
God and. What is with everyone and the r slur??? Like what?? there are so many words you can choose stop using that word. Like okay the other night someone?? took the dc adapter for the wireless modem and one of the dudes downstairs as well as the couple were looking to see if they had a compatible dc adapter and so i just decided to wait?? and i just spaced out a bit okay whatever i was lookin at the wall like i do and fuckin. the couple had a couple friends over and one of em was chillin between the kitchen and the hall and M yells out from his room “Hey don’t you feel weird with this creepy ass bitch standing next to you? Like what is she, m*ntally r*tarded?” like wow okay dude i’m literally not doing anything. Luckily his friends reaction was basically “?? She lives here?? She can stand there if she wants??” (wow referring to myself as she feels weird and wrong).
A big problem I have is I feel like theres a community in this house that I just don’t fit into? Part of it is I’m like. the only person here who doesn’t do drugs of any kind?? Like I have nothing against ppl who use drugs like whatever bro, but it feels super othering to me when i can’t relate to anyone here because of it. That and. Getting T in particular but really just anyone but A to respect me asking that if you’re going to smoke anything to do it outside because weed and to a lesser extent cigarette smoke trigger my sensory disorder and causes me pain and causes sensory overload and I still find myself asking people to smoke outside.Like I’ve never been unreasonable and said “no drugs in the house” or some bs. I’m just asking u to respect my disability thanks.And like?? I’ll get into this in a second but there were needles in the toilet?? Bro throw them out properly.
And now: Hell.
Can no one clean up after themselves?? Do your dishes. If theres food left on your plate, throw it out first, don’t dump it in the sink. Seriously the kitchen sink is fucked. The kitchen is gross. The microwave ugh ugh ugh no thanks. No one can clean everything. This is why all my cookware and dishes are in my room. That way I can make sure I 1) Still Own It and 2) Its clean and usable. I clean them as I go and just use my own shit.
Nothing compares to the bathrooms, though. It seems like every other day one of the toilets are clogged. Last week there were spoons in the sink?? Like at least 10 spoons. In the bathroom sink. The floor is dirty because no one owns a mop and?? there was one in the kitchen?? I haven’t seen it in like a month. And the worst of all. Okay, it’s really bad when every one up here is between like. 16 and 19 I think? And I had to put up a sign in the bathroom asking people to flush when you’re done??? And I still have to flush before I can use the washroom???? And it feels like every week or so. The toilet’s clogged. Oh! I forgot to mention that the water closet doesn’t even have a doorknob anymore. Someone took it. But wait, it gets worse. Seriously if extremely unsanitary things bother u, stop reading now.
Twice in the past month I’ve had to contact the landlord because the toilets were beyond clogged. The first time was bad but oh lord nothing compares to the second time (aka last week). The first time was your pretty standard toilet clogs and backs up and its very gross. I contacted the landlord and it was fixed the next day and it was fine. For. Two Days. Im serious. See. People here have a real issue it seems of “The person before me didn’t flush so neither will I”, leading to a toilet bowl full of like. a half a roll of toilet paper and waste. F u n. What that led to was the toilet clogging, people not doing anything about it, and continuing to use it. Eventually the toilet bowl was full, so trow a shopping bag over the lid to mark the toilet as “Out of order” and move on to the other one.Both toilets were completely unusable. I emailed the landlord and i don’t know if either they or one of the people living here contacted them, but the old landlord and old property manager were here the other day to clean them out and fix them?? and yea among all the standard waste you’d expect in a toilet, there were needles? Like buddy theres a trash can right there? I know u had the needle caps bc they were in there too. just... disgusting...
bro this is just what i can think of off the top of my head i know theres more but oh no this is so long now. just. this is a lot more detail than u wanted but i wanted to get this out of my brain??

Pinhead: Chapters 1-3
I want to give a quick thank you to @wronggwayy, my editor and @tinalbion who read this over a while ago and pushing me to post and do asks! I really should thank her for everything you guys see on this page but, that’s for another post! Enjoy!
How You Met/Left
You know, you learned not to question it. Nothing ever good came from questioning it. You didn’t have the answer and you didn’t expect anyone else to, so why bother?
Frankly, you didn’t even mind feeling this way, you didn’t intend to use it for any bad purposes, yet. This wasn’t a phase you would hit when you were 12 and wanted attention of your parents and the other kids around you, you actually felt this way.
Be bad or not, you just didn’t know. And that wasn’t bad, right?
Either way, you would soon grow to crave the excitement and buzz it made your stomach feel. Your own sort of high.
~~~
Your abnormal, off-the-wall sense of humor was able to cover up your underlying masochism. The feeling of being the reason of someone laughter, the reason behind their smile, was what really made you happy.
As much as you wanted to obscure your own thoughts in pain and torment, you couldn’t bring yourself to do it to other people. Who were you to know if they enjoyed it like you did?
So, you kept it safe, and decided to make people feel the ‘normal’ good. Laughing gave you the balance in your mind; feeling satisfied about the agony, content from the laughing.
Some of your friends were masochists, which made sense why you hung out with them, but they only ever really got off on hitting others as well, so, you were the lone masochist of the group.
~~~
Your friends had convinced you to come to Mexico with them during Sophomore year of high school with one of their older siblings. He too was like you guys, but… more... out there.
Now, you had your fair share of piercings and a few tattoos but… but he was something else.
With you being considered the ballsiest of the group at the time, being around the green mohawked, tattooed, body modified clown who was also towering over you in height, you felt like a small bug. His name was Tripp and if that wasn’t sketchy enough then consider yourself an edge-lord.
~~~
It was a long trip, coming from New York. You particularly didn’t want to go with them not only because of the vibe that Tripp gave off, but because you don't necessarily like going places with them or with anyone, for that matter.
Yeah, you were all fucking crazy, rowdy, and loud, but they didn’t really know how to control themselves around other people, let alone in public.
You don’t really go up to someone or a group of people and just start fucking around with them when they don't want to be bothered, especially high class people.
Going out every once in a while was nice though, right? Even if it’s in some guy named Tripp with his younger sister and her sadomasochist friends to Mexico.
So maybe it didn’t sound all too pleasing but you just wanted to go somewhere different, and now was your chance and you were gonna take it.
~~~
Thirty-three hours of not-so-good doings and two days of driving was also worth it. The hotel’s shitty, waffle house parking lot vacancies wasn’t but you did have fun going to a few clubs and bars getting drunk on the way.
After finally making it to El Paso, it was another hour or so to get to this high end hotel that Tripp had gotten through some guy he knew in Nevada. Again, sketchy, but not the worse thing that could have happened.
“How the fuck did you afford this place, T? Mom and dad sure as hell didn’t pay for it,” Amanda said, Tripp’s younger sister.
“Shut it shortstack, I got it covered,” Tripp said, his voice monotone and cold.
“Whatever,” she rolled her eyes, “That guy in Nevada probably set us up for a murderer to pick us off one by one and gut us like a fish. Maybe eat us too, like Hannibal.” Amanda lowered her voice and grabbed onto your arm, giggling.
“Oh shut the fuck up for Christ sake Amy, I got it,” Tripp spat. His voice was terrifying.
“Guys… people are staring, shut up goddamnit,” You murmured as most of the lobby’s eyes were on the group of tattooed, dyed hair, black shirts and ripped skinny jean wearing punks that you called your friends.
“Let ‘em look honey, Let ‘em look!” Amanda yelled and made a “v” sign on her mouth with her fingers and stuck her tongue out.
“Amy!” You punched her in the arm and sneered. The eyes of everyone else made the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
“Ooh hit me again.” Her eyebrows bounced up and down, in a playful manner.
“No asshole, now move.” You spat, pushing past her.
~~~
Your rooms were on the 12th floor, near the end of the hallway away from the other rooms. The posse entered the room and within 10 minutes, the place was trashed and two of your friends were shitfaced, not surprising.
Tripp was nowhere to be seen and Amanda was asleep in the downstairs bedroom. Unpacking a few of your things you notice how big every room really was, like a whole house. It had an upstairs with two bedrooms while downstairs had one bedroom with an enormous kitchen, living room, bathroom and balcony that looked over the ocean.
The upstairs also had its own bathroom and even a smaller office area to accompany the bedrooms.
You shared a room upstairs with Niko, the closest friend of yours in the group, who at the moment was  currently shitfaced downstairs talking about raccoons. Argo got the bedroom downstairs with Amanda while Tripp got the second biggest bedroom upstairs.
You checked out the bathroom upstairs first, it was the biggest one. Furnished marble flooring with a large vanity and sink, a jacuzzi tub and a glass shower right next to it.
The window placed right above the tub seemed a bit out of place, but the moonlight lit up the bathroom so well; Dreamlike, really.
Looking at yourself in the mirror you see Tripp standing in the doorway, just staring at you.
“Oh, hey Tripp, sorry did you need to use the bathroom?” You said, startled at first.
Nothing.
“I was just looking in here at the beautiful floors and view,” Your hand gestured to the sink and window.
Still nothing.
“Well… If you need to use the bathroom I can go...” You swallowed, not know what else to say as you rocked on your heels, your thumb pointing outwards towards the door.
“It’s nice. Spacious.” He finally said. His voice never had any emotion in it.
“Hah, yeah,” You smiled. You noticed he had something in his hand.
“Don’t tell Amy I said this but, I didn’t really get this place in from a guy in Nevada.” Tripp took a step closer.
“Oh, okay.” You cut your eyes for a second. Did it really matter? As long as no one died it was fine.
“I got it as a deal.”
“Ok-”
“None of them would believe me, but maybe you would. You seem level headed enough to do this for me,” He brought what he was holding up to your face, “I need you to open this.”
You just looked at him, then at the trinket in his hand. He had never spoken this much, let alone to you.
“What is th-”
“Doesn’t Matter. Open it,” He pushed the box to your face again as you slowly took it.
It was very light although it looked like it was made from almost solid gold. Each side had a different pattern on it, each intricate in its own way.
“Open it,” He scoffed.
“Why?”
“Just do it. Now.” His voice was demanding and rough.
You flipped the box over in your hands a few times as you traced the middle of the box with your thumb in a circular motion hesitantly, but it was almost like you needed to do it. Your finger naturally went in its motion without your brain’s approval.
As soon as you did, the top of the box slid up and turned to the side and back down, almost like a Rubik’s cube solving itself.
The box seemed to be getting heavier as you looked up at Tripp, though it wasn’t Tripp anymore. You weren’t even in the bathroom anymore. You had drank a bit but not enough to be hallucinating for Christ’s sake. Alcohol doesn’t even do that… does it?
The room changed at once.
It seemed to be dark and black, no doors or anything, just straight, long corridors. Pillars in various parts of the room had meathook like chains draped across them with body parts hooked on them.
Silver, bloodied chains hung from the ceiling, and they were long enough to the point where you couldn't walk without hitting at least three.
You felt like you should be scared, but you weren’t. You felt… confused, but mostly intrigued. Yeah, it was fucking scary, but not scream or cry worthy, for you at least.
Looking back down at the box you blinked hard, trying to somehow wake up. You looked back up again and you’re still in the same spot, same room.
“What the fuck did I drink?” You said to nothing.
“You did not drink anything.” A rather rich, deep, raspy voice called out from the darkness.
“Oh. I didn’t think so.” The words rolled off of your tongue.
The disembodied voice spoke once again, “You opened the box.”
“Lament Configuration, you mean.”
Maybe correcting something that seemed to have a… higher power wasn’t the best idea but, fuck it.
A deep chuckle emitted from the voice “Yes, it would appear as though you have corrected me.”
“Hey! I had her open the box, now spare me god dammit!” You look back to see Tripp rushing up behind you, “She opened the box, and you made a deal fucker!”
You look back as a figure steps forward. He was slim but toned, in an all black sort of robe with slits missing on the chest and down the center of his stomach, which you could also assume was blood from gashes in his chest. Apart from him being deathly pale, his head was covered in small nails; pins, for a better use of words.
As you studied him another figure walked up from behind him, then another, and another. Each had on a similar black robe on, but different in their own way.
One seemed to be morbidly obese with a pair of thick round goggles almost embedded into his face. The other had no eyes, that could be seen, as his mouth was pulled open by hooked wires that connected from behind his head. His teeth would constantly chatter, loud enough for you to hear if it was completely silent.
The last seemed to be a female with no hair and also deathly pale. At this point their skin was actually white and their lips and facial features were tinted blue. She had two wires protruding out of cheeks that connected to the skin on her throat. The skin was being pulled back as the red muscles and tendons were being exposed, beating and convulsing. Still, none of them seemed to be actually bleeding.
“Jesus Christ…”  Was all you managed to spit out.
“Not quite,” the man, or thing said.
“I held up my end of the deal! I brought you four sacrifices all the way from New fucking York to spare myself and you’re supposed to kill her for Christ’s sake!” Tripp hissed.
“Do I look like someone who cares what God thinks?” The man with pins bellowed, his attention snapping back towards Tripp.
At this point you felt about fifty different emotions at once. It was like being at a friends house and having that friend and their parent argue, and all you can do is stand there and wonder why you came or what you could possibly do.
Who are they? Where are we? What deal did Tripp make? Sacrifices?
“It is not hands that call us… it is desire.” All figures moved their attention to Tripp. You just assumed the guy with the pins in his head as the leader, as he walked over to Tripp and just stared at him.
“The last time you were here we made no deal. You, out of human compulsory, pleaded for my Cenobites and I to spare you. Hell hath no deals, Tripp. Your flesh is what we desire, not your soul. Your flesh and pain gives us a drive of what you humans experience with substances like cocaine, or heroin, yet at a much greater altitude, or high as you might call it. You know what it feels like to be in a high, don’t you Tripp?”
“What the hell man, you’re…. You’re evil! Pinhead, you evil bastard!” Tripp yelled out harshly, pointing and swinging towards Pinhead.
“Ahah, oh how uncomfortable that word must feel on your lips; evil, good. There is no evil, there is no good, there is only flesh. The patterns to which we submitted.” Pinhead chuckled, almost mockingly.
Before he could reach Pinhead he stopped dead in his tracks, blood oozing from his mouth. A chain had cut through the air from the darkness behind him and burrowed itself right into his chest.
Four others from the sides tore the skin from his face and his palms before dragging him into the darkness.
They turned back to you, as all you could do was look back and sort of sickly smile. The feeling that rushed through your nerves when watching Tripp’s skin being lacerated and torn apart gave you a warm feeling inside.
You almost wanted to ask if you could have done it, but small tears streamed down your face. Not so sadness, but of…. of….
“Aw, no tears please. It’s a waste of good suffering.” Pinhead focused his attention you now.
“As…. as a matter of fact I’m not actually sad? This… rush I am feeling, to seeing whatever the fuck you just did you Tripp is immeasurable, I- I would have loved to have done that myself.” You grinned, thinking about the pain of Tripp, or the pain Pinhead might have caused you.
You raised your fingers to your mouth in bewilderment. Maybe you had more in common with your (ex) friends than you thought.
“Oh, you suffer beautifully,” Pinhead laughed, “Just what type of rush do you feel? Pain? Sorrow? Sweet agony? Or something...more…?”
“To be honest with you, Pinhead, I’m assuming, all of it, and more. Oh so much more. Not just thinking of the pain that could have been done to me, but wanting, no needing, to experience the euphoria of hurting him and ripping his flesh makes me go into a state of bliss and exhilaration.”
You grinned once more, rambling about your endless, needy thoughts.
“I too can smell the exquisite stench of what you really are.”
“I just have one problem,” You looked down and laughed, “I don’t have a ride back to New York….”
Reuniting
Remembering Mexico made you smile.
Yeah, Amanda, Niko, Tripp and Argo ‘disappeared’, but the feeling of indulgence to be able to have ripped them apart yourself was priceless.
Now, considering that it had been five years, you were much more sharply dressed and well mannered. You praised the day that you would find the Lament Configuration once more, you had only seen Pinhead, or Elliot as he had you call him, twice after being in Mexico.
Your bond had grown stronger as he subjected you to the sights of hell. Still that was about four years ago before someone stole the box when they had broken into your apartment back in New York.
You had a well settled down life now, while still being a sadomasochist, just very well controlling of it, but you still made people laugh with your out-of-the-blue comments.
Now, a typical business woman with her black and white blouse, black pencil skirt with black heels, hair in a neat ponytail and little to no makeup (which wasn't needed in your case) you headed home only to have a package laying front of your apartment door, untouched.
How no one in your halls had stolen it you will never know, but you pick it up and headed inside.
You had gotten the money from Tripp and Amanda's parents a while back. You played the victim role quiet well when you made it back to New York, enough to where the adults had given you thousands upon thousands of dollars of pity money.
Once you bought the expensive, luxurious apartment you call home, it was only broken into once, before you got the security alarm installed.
The only thing that bothered you was that the box was taken, fuck the TV, or the Rolex, but the fucking box. You were pissed and demanded the police to find the intruder and your things, in return for a very large cash reward.
You walked into your office with the package in your hand and sat at your desk, turning your chair to face the magnificent windows that stretched from ceiling to floor overlooking the city. Being on the 23rd floor was a major plus. You would kill for this view any day of the week, but now it was in the palm of your hand.
You looked at the small yellow envelope that had “Sorry” scrawled on the side. Tilting your head you opened it and pulled out a small letter,
I don’t know why the fuck you would keep a thing like that in your house but fucking keep it and never let anyone touch it ~X
You pulled out the object as it fell into your lap. It was your box, with droplets of blood on the sides, dripping onto your black skirt.
“Oh Elliot,” you chuckled, “You’re so impatient.”
Deciding To Stay
A few weeks before you received your box, as Pinhead called it, you saw multiple accounts of mass murders or suicides that linked to the box. It was always found at the scene, but no one could get ahold of it before it would disappear.
I have to get rid of this.
The thought only stayed in your mind for a second before you pushed it away immediately.
I can't get rid of it. I just got it back and now Elliot and I will be able to talk again.
That’s ridiculous, if the police find that in your apartment, you'll be in jail!
No, I can hide it.
Where?
I don’t know. 
I’ll find somewhere.
You went back in forth for a while, deciding on weather to open it or not. Ninety-five percent of you wanted to, but the other five percent, the I’ve-got-my-feet-on-the-ground-finally voice told you it wasn’t worth it. You would always be the fucked up person you were when you were a teen, you were just more physically appealing now.
You mentally slapped yourself. This time, not to make you focus, but to get the voice to simmer down for a second so you could think
Fuck it.
You opened the box anyways.
At first nothing happened, but it didn’t take too long until the room around you faded into the all too familiar blackened and damn corridors that you saw that night in Mexico. The skyhigh city apartment you sat in was now gone and you stood in your second home, the hooks dangling and clanging together oh so slightly.
You couldn’t help but think of the blood on the chains and hooks to be that of Amanda’s. The warm feeling in your stomach made you almost moan out. You last time you felt that was when you were a teen, ripping your friends to bits and pieces. 
Almost shameful really, you put your fingers to your mouth modestly and took a deep breath, closing your eyes.
“Back once more, Princess?”
It was Pinhead. His voice just as rich and deep as before.
You spun around, the bubbling in your stomach from pure pleasure make you gasp out as you locked eyes.
“Elliot!” He had only ever let you call him Elliot. Anyone else would have endured such an excruciating pain that even his fellow Cenobites would wince and look away.
Pinhead grinned at you, looking as smug as ever. You eyed him. His deathly pale skin, his leather attire and most importantly pins that have never looked any better to you. It had been so long, you couldn’t hold in any of the excitement you felt for him.
Like a kid at a candy shop, you bounced on your feet for a few, but composed yourself quickly. The teen showing through made Pinhead chuckle; he had always like that side of you. But seeing you now, the more elegant and composed, professional really, side of you was much better.
With his arms spread slightly, he embraced you in a small but meaningful hug, one you’d never thought you’d have the chance to experience again in your life.
“So, hows…. Hell?” “Hell is more… ordered since your time, Princess. And much less… amusing”
“Oh, it’s because I haven’t been around huh?” You joked. You had a way with being able to make Pinhead laugh, or smile at least with your humor. 
The hooks in your hands felt as cold as ice, the dried blood leaving a rusty copper color on your hands, something you were familiar with. It brought back memories, ones you forgot you had until now. You were genuinely happy now. The box was in your hands, Elliot was by your side, nothing could stop you.
“You’ve been away too long Princess,” Elliot continued.
“Yeah, I have, haven’t I?” A smirk ever so slightly creeping onto your face, the hook still digging into your hand, the blood still marking and leaving their traces of someone else on you.
Elliot, now behind you, placed his cold, lifeless hand on the small of your back. You both looking down a corridor where light seemed to manifest and convulse in colors or white, yellow and that light tint of blue you sometimes see when you close your eyes just a but too hard. That of course, was the corridor where the Leviathan reigned. 
Your fingers twitched, as so did he hooks around you. You missed the power you had in this realm. Your body ached every moment you where in the real world, not being able to hold the configuration in your hands, to not hold Elliot in your sight. But you were home now, where you had the power alongside him.
A deep breath puffed your chest as the chains curled and moved as your hands did, 
“Way too long…”

           ✞ IN THE SUSPENSION *      FIND ME THERE
he calls haknyeon first.
 it’s a proper celebration, and a reminder why he’s his best friend. on the phone with him, he can forget about the difficult side of this news. he can forget about all of the people he’ll effectively be leaving behind, and just focus on the fact that finally, he got what he wanted: for one of the entertainment companies that turned him down twice on live television to finally want him.
 in the past, he would’ve waffled. he would’ve held that contract in his hands and wondered if it was worth the sacrifice. but my band, but my friends, but my parents. now, all that remains is the second, and they’re all people he knows will understand the decision he already knows he’ll make. even daniel in all of his usual optimism can’t deny this will be painful, though: the loss of time with the people he loves and the hours of dance practice he’s set himself up for.
 somehow, it seems like it’ll be worth it, and next, he texts the reason he believes it’s so, because woojin doesn’t seem like the type for phone calls, and daniel isn’t the type for phonecalls with woojin. he doesn’t know what to say, but with woojin, he knows he doesn’t need any padding or beating around the bush. it’s why he settles on a simple “hey, i got in.” there’s one more important detail he needs to add, though: “ i’m not signing until i release all of my music that i want to, though.”
 that’s the plan. if there’s anything he learned from the aftermath of the mgas, it’s that companies don’t want you uploading anything that suggests you have a mind of your own, and daniel’s music is too important to him to keep locked in a vault, never to see the light of day. he’ll write more in sphere, certainly, but it'll be different, and he knows. he has so much ready now that just hasn't made it to his soundcloud or youtube. that changes today, and maybe tomorrow if he needs it, and maybe the day after that--
 next, he calls songhee. he breaks the news to her, and he knows her well enough to detect her forced happiness. he doesn't blame her, and there's no use in him acknowledging it or dwelling on it. she tries to be happy for him, and he's grateful for that much. "hey, so...do you have time to record our song?
        ⊰ ✞ CACTUS IN THE VALLEY ; written, composed and sang by daniel & songhee                ☇ if my yesterday is a disgrace, tell me that you still recall my name ⊱
 here's an original song, and the first of a few you'll see over the course of the weekend! thank you to songhee for writing and singing this with me, and playing it with me the past few weeks, and to sophie for helping learn the cello.
 this song grew really close to my heart while we recorded it, and i hope you like it even if it's a little different from what you're used to.
 matthew 18:12
 before the end of the mgas, he prayed. he prayed for everything to happen as it should, but somehow, only had two options in mind: empty enigma stays together, or he gets a contract. of course, neither of those things happened in the end. after all the pain, daniel can understand why. daniel's job as a christian is supposed to be to reflect jesus, and cameo didn't really do that, aside from one song that made it on their album. this way, he didn't have to worry about how to glorify him as a trainee, because he wasn't one.
 now, he's still not really sure how god's plan or mission or what have you will benefit from him signing to sphere, but there's not that possibility of turning down a contract anymore. as always, god knew what he was doing.
 in that prayer before the finale, he said that he would write a ton of songs about him, regardless of what happened. he hasn't done as good of a job at that as he should've, but at least there's this.
 daniel and songhee wrote cactus in the valley together after the green ribbon festival. they decided after their performance there that they made a pretty good duo, and decided to make it official-- or semi-official. if they lasted longer, maybe they would've come up with a name. they got so far as writing a song together and playing shows every weekend, and it sated something in daniel's soul-- an unaddressed unrest dwelling there following the mgas and empty enigma's demise. they wrote it as an acoustic arrangement, with songhee on the piano, and daniel on the cello-- a relatively new instrument for him, basics learned thanks to sophie and polished now for the sake of an original version that would never make it to the stage because daniel's cello skills weren't that good.
 on stage, it's different-- songhee with a guitar and daniel on bass, mainly because it would be hard for daniel to sing while on cello, aside from the fact that he plays instruments he still isn't entirely comfortable with better with several takes. live, he doesn't have that luxury. in the recording studio, however, it's different, and he hopes people won't be disappointed by the song in its original form.
 (he thinks both the cello and piano are beautiful, and he's glad he took the challenge of writing a song for them. he wants to get better.)
 songhee sings the second verse, and one of his favorite lines of the song, and one he can only aspire to: if this whole world goes up in arms all i do is can stand, and i won't fight for anyone until you move my hand.
 ultimately, it's a song about god. it's about all of daniel's struggles to stand and all of his drifting-- all of his attempts to survive on his own and his world crashing down. it's all of the change, and the fact that that's not god, and there is a consistency that he never realized before, or never relied on. there's a love he'll always have and that he too often takes for granted, and the least he can do is write this song and release it to anyone that will listen. it's up to them how to interpret it, but for daniel, it is a i'm sorry you always need to remind me how much you love me, but thank you. i know i'll never deserve it, but i get it anyway.
                        ⊰ ✞ AUTOMATIC ; lyrics by yuzu, composed and sung by daniel                        ☇ i'm lost, out of place, i'm hooked on every single word you say ⊱
these lyrics were written by choi yena! i had a demo of this instrumental not so long after the mgas, and she had lyrics already written that ended up matching to it well. a little bit of rehashing the instrumental (or a lot) and here it is! enjoy ^_^
 automatic is a little experimental for him. it's a step out of his comfort zone of band-oriented or acoustic sound, with a little more touch of pop and edm. of course, he wrote in a heavy bass line too, and it drives the entire song. it's what he wrote it all around, too.
 he hasn't uploaded the song yet because he sang it, then mastered it, and hated how it turned out. he didn't even bother to share it with yuzu, and instead, left it to rot to eventually return to with a refreshed mind and different perspective. it was neglected in favor of other unfinished songs that his fans may never hear, so he dusts automatic off because it's near finished, and he'd be doing yuzu a disservice to not release the song they wrote together.
 he goes back to the studio, and plays more with the instrumental, stripping it down to just the bass line again, seeing what it'll sound like if he starts over.
 he thinks the lyrics are something most people can relate to. it's the attraction to a person when the relationship may be ending, or when it's already over-- the lack of direction without them, and why they still want to follow them. daniel didn't ask yuzu what she wrote the song about. he could assume enough, and for daniel, the meanings behind songs were always personal. when he wrote lyrics for his songs on his own, he didn't even share the meanings of some of them with empty enigma, and they were (still are) his closest friends.
 plus, these lyrics are pretty straightforward.
 he overhauls the instrumental, and feels a little guilty because it'll sound so different from what yuzu heard from him before. it's probably better like this though: an instrumental built around the lyrics instead of two separate pieces coming together. he likes it better.
 "finally have automatic mastered. check it out and see what you think. it ended up pretty different '^^" he sends in a message, song file attached.
 yuzu shares her liking of it with great enthusiasm, and daniel is relieved. he uploads it with satisfaction in finally having a finished product.
                           ⊰ ✞ SUSPENSION ; written, composed and sung by daniel                      ☇ this sky feeling i get when you're near, i'd give up gravity to feel ⊱
here's another original, and this one's all mine. i wrote it a while ago, actually, but i think now is the perfect time for it to find its way to you.
 suspension still feels too personal to upload, but that's precisely why he needs to. it's an important song to him-- too much so to keep to himself.
 he wrote suspension in the week following empty enigma's final show, when sungwoon ran off to japan. it was what he did instead of getting mad, and to cope with the ridiculous feeling of how much he missed him, and wished he was with him. it was what he did while waiting for him to come home so he could tell him how much he loved him (and in the end, he still couldn't wait until then.)
 he's held back from posting it anywhere because he's embarrassed. sometimes, it's still hard to admit he even has these feelings, and he thinks it would be for anyone. he's only been writing songs for a year and a half, and he never wrote a song for someone before. then again, suspension isn't for sungwoon-- it's about him, but it's for daniel. it's not the first song he wrote about sungwoon either, but this one feels different. maybe it's because it's the first song he wrote about sungwoon knowing he loves him.
 he hasn't even played it for anyone else, he's so self-conscious of it. it's not because he thinks the lyrics or melody are bad, just because...it's a part of his heart that he hasn't shared with anyone. it's a look into him that he doesn't show. kenta knows the guitar part; he played it for him when he got home from training one day to daniel camped out on their sofa, playing through chords. minhyun probably caught a lot of it from daniel singing over the lyrics absently.
 soon, everyone will know it. he tries to steel himself in advance, but he knows he'll always be a little nervous.
 it's just him and his acoustic guitar in the studio for this one, recording it for the first time despite the months it's been completed, and there's something cathartic about finally doing it.
 now, knowing he'll become a trainee and feel so distant from his previous life, it hits a little closer to home. daniel didn't know it was possible.
 there is so much more he wants to do. there's a panic-- a preemptive mourning of all the songs no one will ever hear. surely there's more he can finish up and upload without taking too long. there comes a point where he'll feel like he's taking advantage of baek jiyoung's grace in offering him a contract for his own self-serving reasons.
 he can't help but think of all of those empty enigma songs that didn't make between fear and faith-- the other 30 he wrote in preparation for it. they talked of polishing them and including some on their next album, and some of them he doesn't like anymore, but others...losing empty enigma was painful enough, but so was losing all of their unreleased songs to the void of their main composers becoming trainees with contracts that forbade the release of original music.
 there's one song in particular: daniel's favorite song he wrote in the build up to between fear and faith, actually. it's the one he had his mind set on to perform if the mga finale had solo rounds. how can he not share it on his youtube and soundcloud if he was willing to perform it in front of a live audience, on live television?
 the only problem: kenta and woojin helped him compose this song.
                    ⊰ ✞ NO ORDINARY LOVE ; written, composed and sung by daniel                       ☇ come back to me love, i forgive you, oh how i've missed you ⊱
i originally wrote this to be on the between fear and faith album, but we ultimately decided other songs fit better. it's still one of my favorites i've ever written, and since you won't get to hear it on an album, why not hear it like this? it's different than it would be played by an awesome band, but i did my best. this is a cameo only zone.
 he does the natural thing, and pulls a vanilla ice, slightly altering the song's composition just enough that it isn't quite the same song anymore, but could be accused of plagiarism. he would say it wouldn't matter, he could just upload it even though kenta and woojin took part in writing it, but he now knows sphere watches his youtube channel, and he doesn't want to risk it.
 so he reigns things in, changes the screaming originally written in for a rap, and without woojin to record a drum part, it's already essentially a different song. daniel can barely play the drums at all, let alone to woojin's level, so he doesn't even bother, and leaves that to his trusty drum machine to do the best work of its life. the rest, however, daniel can do: bass part, two guitar parts, vocals. squall who?
 more than an empty enigma song, it's another song about god. he wrote this one significantly earlier than cactus in the valley, of course-- not so long after he moved out of his mom's house and into his own apartment, when he started growing into his own skin and his own person for the first time. away from her, he could finally disassociate church from her iron fist and constant criticisms. until then, he thought god saw him the same way: as someone that always fell short, disappointing, worthy of endless rebuke, impatient and unforgiving.
 he learned better, and it was an eye-opening and...emotional process for him. he wrote no ordinary love about that process, and what he discovered: god waited for him to come to him, and greeted him with love and mercy even though it took him so long to, and to mean it. he didn't deserve it, but he got it anyway.
 this feels like the perfect ending to daniel the singer-songwriter online. it's a callback to empty enigma, and a song for god after he told him he would write more about him. he started on one and he'll end on one, and maybe it's this song that is the truest reflection of his heart.
 it's then, putting the final finishing touches up on the recording, that he realizes this is the real end of cameo. he doubts sphere will want him to return, and it's bittersweet, because with this, he realizes, like he did in his sphere audition, that he doesn't need him anymore. he doesn't have to create a cooler alter ego-- doesn't need to create a separate identity to enjoy music or be able to perform. he doesn't need to pretend to be someone he isn't to be liked; he doesn't need him to be brave and to be bold. maybe daniel has learned to take all of those qualities for himself without hanging onto a mask.
 it's still hard to let go. when he finishes, and starts the upload, his chest feels tight and his heart is in his throat. empty enigma was over before, but somehow, knowing he's about to sign a sphere contract makes it realer than ever.
 with the song he's releasing, a moment like this calls for prayer, however quick it may be. thank you. i wouldn't be me without them, and without cameo, and i finally like who that is. because of them, and because of you, i'm finally ready to face whatever comes next.
NOTES:
* all songs in korean; reference songs are only references ** songs are all uploaded to both youtube and soundcloud (un: kameo), sometimes with a live version on youtube and studio version on soundcloud, and that’s how everything he uploads goes
