medwhump day 1: under anesthesia.

sypnosis: Devin Farrow (one-off, he/they) drifts in and out, appropriately drugged for the serious burns he endured during an apartment fire. A guy who introduces himself as simply "Pines" (also a one-off and he/they) fills him in on the event. (like these guys? send asks about 'em!) for @medwhumpmay

The last thing Devin remembered was waking up to the smell of smoke and an orange, firey blur. It had come with no warning, no fire alarm, no unattended stove… not in his apartment, anyway. Around him, people rushed, uncoordinated, overstimulating. There was so much white it hurt his eyes, so bright that it didn't matter if he closed them. And still, the room around him. the people, the sounds of tiny scratching moving objects in the halls was so far away. He could barely tell if he was moving or if the walls around him were - trying to think through the fog just made him more disoriented. Before long, it all went dark.

When Devin awoke, the white hadn't gone. It was more focused now, but they were no less distant. They were actually almost more so - their whole body felt numb, and they couldn't move their arms. Just attempting was exhausting, and they soon determined it wasn't worth it. So, they tried their voice instead.

All they could get out was a soft grunt, but it was enough to grab the attention of a person in the corner of the room. Devin couldn't recognize them, as hard as he tried. As they approached, a concerned expression on their face, Devin felt himself fade again.

The next time he woke, Devin could see again. A dull tension ached through his body, and he felt panic start to rise but it seemed to dissipate unceremoniously instead of chaining into an attack. He felt dull and tired, like he could never feel anything but dull and tired again, and he was now unfortunately much too aware of the obnoxious numbing fabric wound so tight into the flesh of his arm and side that it felt like it was inside it. Lethargically, he raised his arm and reached towards the awful stuff - but his hand was intercepted by a somewhat uncomfortable looking stranger he could finally vaguely recognize as an apartment neighbor. "Woah- what are you doing, there?" Even though the guy seemed genuinely nervous and not threatening at all, Devin reacted immediately, threatening the IV needle stuck in his good wrist with the speed he yanked his hand back. He tried to ask "who are you", but it didn't come out - rather, debris in his throat from inhaling so much smoke threw him into a coughing fit. The stranger quickly slunk backwards, startled. "Sorry, sorry," he apologized, clearly a bit on edge. "I didn't know you'd react like that. I shouldn't have - " it was probably a better outcome than letting Devin claw his bandages off, though, so he shut up.

Devin continued to stare at him, too delirious to be upset beyond just reactive panic. Finally, the stranger spoke again. "Uhh, just call me Pines," he said, seemingly desperate to find excuses to break up the silence. "I'm the one who called emergency services - I'm on the first floor of your building. Youuu. Didn't have an emergency contact, so they let me stay here when I told them I was a friend." Pines seemed uncomfortable. This was normal info to give out, right? Not too much? Eventually, he pulled a chair over instead of just hovering in the corner, and after a while, Devin found the words to start asking about the event. The fire had been started by the landlord, apparently, and Devin was lucky not to have died. Much of the building was in ruins after the fire, both he and Pines would have to find someplace new.

Quickly, information compounded, and the delirium won over. All this bad news… it was still distant, impersonal. It didn't matter yet, right?

It didn't have to matter until the drugs wore off.

drabble - a new school, a new opportunity (project sekai timeline)

"...Alright then. the uniform has been ordered and will be expected to arrive by the end of this week. Normally you're required to wear the uniform on your school day, but considering the circumstances, we're going to make a rare exception to the rule until you've received your uniform. Considering your age and rather...Unique set of skills I see here, you'll be moved up to class 2-D. All the others are already full, so we will have to make do. Considering the fact that KAITO and MEIKO recommended you to us I believe you have no issue with some music and dance lessons, no?"

"...What?"

Hanaka had a meeting with the head of the school she was going to study in, however she did not expect to spend her school days doing music as well. Music, the worst topic for her to study.

Once the meeting was over and left the school president's office, she couldn't help but let out a heavy frustrated sigh, her fist clenched before she could feel the two idols gently patting her back.

"...Uuuuuuuurgh, why of all things do I have to study music-- I can't even play a note right on the piano to save my life!!!"

"This isn't so bad, Hanaka." KAITO responds, not seeming too worried about all of this. "You're going to be studying music sure, but it's not like you're going to do it on your own."

"KAITO's right," MEIKO responds with a nod. "You've got us both to help you out and I'm certain we'll bring you up to speed on all of this soon enough. Besides, it already sounds like the classmates you're studying with have a knack for music too, so you might be able to do well at the topic. Plus if anything, you can use this as a means to get yourself familiar with playing an instrument. My first instrument was the acoustic guitar. And KAITO-- didn't you start off with the bongos?"

The blonde male couldn't help but chuckled as he lightly scratched one of his cheeks. "Ah, that is true-- which reminds me! We haven't been in our home in Japan for a while now. We should visit there soon."

"Right--" MEIKO nodded before looking at the pinkette. "Hanaka, dear-- if you want to get to know the classmates you'll be studying with feel free. We'll be checking up on our old home. We'll also prepare the guest room for you too, okay?"

"..." Hanaka took a second to consider it. She weighed the benefits of it with the potential things the two were going to be busy with. In the end, knowing her mission, with the fact that she knew at least 11 cases reside here, Hanaka nods on MEIKO's words with a thumbs up.

"Alrighty then-- if you two need my help in moving things feel free to call! You guys have my number! Good luck out there, MEIKO, KAITO!"

And with that, the three waved goodbye before the two idols left, leaving Hanaka on her own. So with that, she began taking a stroll around the hall...

Class 1-A...1-B...1-C...2-A...2-B... And then 2-D.

No classmates.

"Hmmm...It's probably lunch break at the moment-- I think."

"At the end of the day?"

"Uhh, no-- wait--"

Hanaka realized that someone was with her, so she quickly turned to face the person, almost wanting to raise her hand ready to deal with any issue, but she realized that it's not needed for she remember this is a school-- and looking at the person in front of her now is just a school girl-- brown hair, silver eyes.

"Oh-- sorry," the stranger spoke up with a light nervous chuckle. "Sorry I startled you-- I didn't meant to--"

"Oh-- no, it's okay," Hanaka responds. "This school seemed so empty while I wanted to check the class I'm joining. I'm actually joining class 2-D, the class I've just checked. I'm Hanaka by the way." She extends her reach, ready to give the other a handshake, which the other allowed.

"Oh-- we're classmates then!" She shook the other's hand rather quickly with a smile on her face. "I'm Hanasato Minori, pleasure to meet you--"

Minori took notice of the clothing Hanaka wears, the metallic looking boots, the oversized belt that somehow stays on, the hairclips that have crystals on it. And what most interest her are her pointy ears.

"...You're not from here, are you?" Minori asked with a raised eyebrow.

"A-ah, yeah you're right." Hanaka admitted with a sheepish chuckle. "I've recently moved here to Shibuya. I actually come from Lawain city."

"Lawain city?" Minori repeated it as she tilted her head a little bit. "Isn't that the city Miku went?" Minori took a second to reflect on how that sounded before wanting to speak up, but Hanaka was quick to respond.

"Yeah she did-- Miku, Rin and Len went to the city for a couple of the concerts. Trust me, me and my big brother were surprised to see them perform in our city too--"

"--So it is that news about her true?" Minori interrupted. "I saw it on the news a few months ago and--Agh--"

Before Minori was able to finish her sentence, Hanaka flicked Minori's forehead, causing the brunette to flinch before Hanaka continued to speak.

"As I was saying.. It was a surprise for the both of us, with more I could talk about now, but we've just met each other. It's a bit early to talk about to someone who you've just met, right?"

"Ah...I guess you're right." Minori responds, almost wanting to twiddle her thumbs, but spoke up. "Sorry for suddenly talking about this-- it's just that I look up to a lot of idols, Miku being one of them and I've heard MEIKO and KAITO went here too... But you're right."

Hearing this caused the pinkette to softly smile at Minori, slowly shaking her head.

"All you need to know is that she's doing fine. But enough about all of this-- Minori, since you and I are classmates, I hope you don't mind me asking if you could maybe give me a tour around the school? Maybe we can hang around the city too? I'm not familiar with the place yet and being with a friend and classmate certainly would be nice, right?"

"That's true," Minori responded with a smile on her face. "And while I certainly will give you a tour-- I have to rehearse a performance with my group today, so I can only give you a quick tour around the school. Hope that's fine!"

Hanaka nodded at that, her smile showing more clearly now. "That's fine by me-- so can I assume you're in a idol group?"

"Mhm!" Minori nodded, her beaming smile appearing on her face. "I always wanted to be one and I've been working hard to get to this point! Hope you can watch our performance this week! It'll be my way of welcoming you to Japan! Haruka from ASRUN will also perform with us-- she's the idol that originally inspired me to become an idol in the first place! You know her, right? She's famous nation wide!"

Hanaka couldn't help but giggle, seeing how passionate Minori is with idol thing. But when Minori asked if she knew of Haruka, Had shook her head.

"I'm glad you like her as an idol, but I don't know her or her group. You said she's famous nation wide-- keyword being nation. Kind of hard to know someone if you're not from your planet."

"...You're kidding about the planet part, right? Ahah..."

No response from Hanaka, only a slight smug grin on her face as she awaited for Minori's reaction. And sure enough, Minori's face turned from her neutral happy expression, to one of confusion, then to one of bewilderment when Hanaka slowly shook her head again.

"...So this Lawain city...It's in..."

"Yup, another world. And if this was an anime it wouldn't even qualify as an isekai anime."

Minori took some time to compose herself and can't help but laugh at that.

"Okay, sorry sorry, it's just strange and somewhat surprising to know that. Okay, Mrs. Hanaka the friendly alien, let me give you a tour around the school. You've got to tell me how'd you got here though-- You seem so human though!"

"Ahah, let's just say it was one trainstation away...."

You randomly thought of an Idea so you said it even though Its very... Boring. "I got an idea!" Kunikuzushi turned his vision away from the TV to you, "What?" "Let's play rock paper scissors." "Seriously? Add a twist to it or something, that alone is pathetically boring. And hurry up you'll have to go back in 1 and a half hour since my mom will come back." "Uhm..."

"Paper!" You answer, "rock." He answers. "Ez bitch" "yea yea whatever" He takes off his shirt "Rock paper scissors..." "Paper!" "Scissors." "Oh...damn it" "who's the bitch that got ez'd on now" You grab a random pillow covering your chest and then take off your shirt, "that's cheating." He snatches the pillow and throws it away, "the audacity" "shut up"

Rock paper scissors... Go! "Rock" "paper." "HOW THE FU- ok whatever" You get up, take off your shorts and sit back down "Pfft... A thong??" "Shut up kuni." "Anyway, rock paper scissors... Go."

You get back up on your knees, and he gets up kinda on his arms "just cause I used to have a dumbass crush on you a few years back doesnt mean that shit" "A few years back??" He pins you down on to the ground making eye contact, "liar." "What-" He shoves his fingers inside your core without even letting you finish what you were about to say, letting a random moan escape your lips "A..auh~ kuni" "Sorry but I don't think I can't take anymore of your teasing. You've been ’teasing’ me for almost 2 years now." He turns to your side and looks at your core while Mercilessly fingering it with 2 of his fingers, after a bit he asks boldly, "Be honest now, Do you think you can take and want more fingers in?" He doesn't even turn his head to you... "Mmhpm..~ Ah, uh–..hm.." you weren't even able to let out a single word out of your mouth either cause he keeps speeding up, "When I ask you a question. You answer it not keep on blabbing slut, And I will take that as a yes."

He inserts in 2 more fingers, making it 4 total.. "O-oouu ku–NI!kuzUSsshi To..—o rooughh.." "Sorry you keep stuttering and pausing like an idiot, I can't understand you." He Playfully said, while you keep whimpering from pain...Painful but also pleasing, He takes a glance at you. "What a pathetically lewd face your making, Your drool is everywhere and it looks like you've been biting a part of your lip so long its starting to bruise. Anyway, do you want me in?" He closes up on your face.. "Y—eSS..!~ Uhh..mm-muh" "A little bit more then I will honour your answer." He speeds up like he knows your near, You finally come and become exhausted "You can't get exhausted now. The more entertaining parts going to begin." He unbuckles his belt and takes off his pants, underwear while ontop of you, and grabs something random to blindfold you, "Kuni I can't se...-" "That's the point you idiot." He interrupts you, And just shoves his entire thing in without saying anything so suddenly. + you wrap your legs around him "UhHH..–Aaooh"

Your walls tighten up "Huh? You already came again?? That fucking quick? Goddamn your pathetic." He starts shoving it out and in at a fast pace while his hand is rubbing your clit and one one your nipple, trying your best not to be loud "Mmph.. God your so fucking tight already and I fucking love it when you moan my name helplessly."

• 3 mins later cause I uh um well.

"I'm near- Do you ..mph—..wanna be a m–om?" "Oouh fuu–uck y-ye–s aHH~" (At this point you both were just stuttering..) He lets out a load inside of you knocking you unconscious after a few seconds of panting helplessly and faintly hearing him say "Looks like I win." breathing heavily on your neck

extra:

Timeskip when you wake the fuck up

You wake up to noises and a blanket on you, Hearing Kunikuzushi's voice screaming random curse words, "Fuck yeah." "Of course I did a good job." Blah blah, You entirely open your eyes and rub them until you can actually see properly,

Is this his bedroom...? Ugh my back hurts I can barely remember anything that happened.

You tried getting off and fell on the ground instead, "Oh.. you're awake, How're you feeling?" He takes his headphones off during saying that, "I'm fine..." You say while gripping onto your aching back "clearly not if you keep gripping like crazy shit on your spine." He walks towards you to pick you up and put you back on the bed

"Just get some rest, or you can watch me but stay laying down on the bed. Okay?" He picks you up and lays you down the edge of the bed where his computer is near "Mmkkkaay...."

꧁~𝐼 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓇~꧂

Hey heyyy! I've asked u all which two you would like next, and I received lotsa requests (and with lotsa I mean 3 lol) to do Xiao and Kazuha. And don't worry, I will upload Albedo and someone else x reader so win-win :D I'm sorry I've posted later than usual, I've been entering school and had to deal with some personal issues, bc of that I'll upload at the same slow speed depending on how long it'll be. I hope you can understand :3

Synopsis: He tried to avoid you recently because of his feelings for you, and you felt insecure about it... he decided to say the truth for once and for all

Includes: Xiao and Kazuha (as told, any other character, anime, series, game etc. tell me, and I'll do it :D)

Warnings: also madd Xiao slight spoilers in background story, and SHIRTLESS KAZUHA HOLY JESUS- (not nsfw tho, you'll see later owo) and blood mentions

Xiao~

I would always stroll around Liyue and see Xiao at the corner of my eye, he would stare at me for a while, frown, and walk away. When I would walk to him and ask him what was wrong, he would get mad at me and just said, "Nothing is wrong. But do leave me alone if you can," my stomach would get swirled and my heart would stop beating... I'm afraid I did something wrong, and now he hates me about it...

I walked disappointed to nowhere when I only sat on Wangshu inn defeated in my thoughts when the innkeeper, Goldet saw me and questioned, "Y/N, is something wrong? You seem a bit tense..." I lifted my head and hide it again with my arm, "Well, you might know about it... do you know why Xiao hates me...?" she stopped what she was doing and patted my head and smiled, "Don't worry dear, he doesn't hate you, but I did saw him tired and stressed these days... he probably is mad because he needs some rest~" my head was overthinking too much I denied every excuse, "Then why does he get mad only at me and leaves wherever I go... I know I did something to make him mad, but I don't know why..."

All of a sudden, Xiao came and rested his head with his arm, he didn't even see me or said anything "Good evening Xiao, you look a bit tired... do you want a glass of water?" Goldet said as she pulled a glass, I was too timid to say anything, so I stayed shut, "As always, Goldet" Xiao only drank from the glass and just lied back shutting his eyes to rest. Goldet saw my worried look, thinking he hated me THAT bad, she picked up the glass and asked, "Xiao, do you know about the upcoming lantern festival of tonight?" Xiao opened one of his eyes and answered calmly, "Yes, I do. Why the sudden question?"

I started to worry because I told Goldet I wanted to go when they announced it, but it was supposed to be for couples, so I just told her I'd wished to go with someone. "Well... Y/N wanted to go, but she didn't have a partner, you two should go together!" I shook myself and flung my arms all across the room, "No! There's no need! You are too kind, but there's no need to-" Xiao stood up and replied with a soft tone "No worries, Y/N, I can accompany you. I've had no plans for tonight anyway." I stopped babbling and blushed as he said that... I thought he was mad at me for something, probably I was overthinking after all.

Goldet smiled at me and whispered very lightly, "You can do it, Y/N~" as Xiao took my hand, and we walked to the location "Y/N, do remember to stay with me, we don't know if something dangerous might happen" My face reddened looking at me worried I'd get in danger. We arrived to Liyue to save some special spots and the receptionist said "Please enjoy the festival! You two look like a really cute couple"

I knew if I'd admitted the truth I want him that way, Xiao would be more disgusted with me and stay away from me even more, "Oh! No ma'am! You got it all wrong! We are not exactly a couple-" Xiao rested his chin with his finger and whispered "A couple, huh... sounds new to me" I looked shocked at him, wondering what he meant with that "Uhh... Xiao, everything is alright?" I asked in fear as he only shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's keep going" He walked as he gripped my hand tighter and the lady behind us smirked knowing the situation.

We sat and waited for the lanterns to lit up. Xiao only sat and lowered his head, shutting his eyes. We stayed quiet for too long, I decided to break the silence, "Hey... Xiao... why did you agree to come with me? Did you felt forced to?" He looked at me and responded calmly, "Well, I don't necessarily would say forced to, but I would be worried if something happened to you. That's all" My curiosity was biting me and I wanted to know why was he acting with me, "Then... why... why were you angry with me?" Xiao looked at me surprised, "W-what do you mean?!"

I was afraid to tell the truth, but my gut kept acting without me realizing what was I doing, "You've been acting mad at me... I thought I did something wrong, and I don't know why... I don't want you to hate me..." I quickly started crying thinking he'd told me something to keep me quiet, but he only hugged me, placing my head on his chest and only whispered "Why would you cry for someone like me. I told you since we met, don't get sentimental over me."

I only teared up even more and said "You are a Yaksha, you've suffered for millennia, and I'm just a mere mortal to you, I can't do anything to take your suffering away, anything that happens to you, you only toss any thought, any injure you get you only wait for it to heal! I never cared if you knew I'd get sentimental for you! I wouldn't want to make your life more complicated for anything I've done!" We stayed quiet for another moment until he only patted my head and whispered, "I care even less of what I've suffered after... after I've met you..." My mouth dropped as I looked up at him in awe. He looked at me with his brow furrowed, but calm, "I gathered feelings for you, I don’t even want to think about what life would be like without you. I keep falling in love with you over and over again. The reason I was 'mad' at you was because I wanted to neglect these human feelings, but I can't anymore I'm sorry I... I-"

He only pulled my chin with his delicate fingers to meet my lips with his. My mind and heart felt at ease, feeling that delicacy and softness, Xiao closed his eyes and pulled me even closer to him, as if any millimeter wasn't enough. I saw he was getting sloppier and breathing harder with each second, he decided to pull off. He covered his mouth with his hand as he looked away and blushed, "This... kind of feeling... is new to me~" I softly smiled and kissed his cheek "Well, you could have told me earlier... I feel the same about you" he only hugged me as we saw lanterns getting lit one by one and let the night absorb our time together~

Kazuha~

I have been worried I haven't seen Kazuha for a while, at first I started thinking he was just busy with the crux, but every day with him missing is starting to worry me. I was walking through Liyue when I saw Kazuha looking through the streets as well, when he saw me, he smiled warmly and approached me as I was starting to look at him with more surprise, looking it was the true Kazuha.

"Hello there Y/N! It has been a while~" I looked in extreme surprise and responded, "Uhh, yeah! It's been a while. I thought something happened with the crux...?" He placed his hands on my shoulders, reassuring with his warm smile, "No worries, everything is all right with the crux. I was just looking for you" I was amazed he was searching for me, I mean, I'm not the most interesting to keep around, "Uhh, me? Why? Something happened?" He calmly answered back, "Well, I know we missed a lot of opportunities to hang up like we used to, I want to make up that lost time and enjoy an evening us both. I know I might have worried you, didn't I?"

Like he read my mind, I've been worried tons, and I do want to make up that lost time we've had, "Of course! I've been wanting to hang out like we used to" It hasn't been too much time we lost contact, but it's still nice to see him again, "Perfect, then let me guide you. I found some new spots I'd like you to see," he softly took my hand, and slowly left the city as we talked like we used to.

I found myself in an autumn like forest, filled with soft colors and leaves flying in the wind, I was amazed at the beautiful scenery. Kazuha only smiled at my back as he saw me, "Like it? I found it and thought you might like it, so I imagined it was the best opportunity to show you" I looked back at Kazuha and replied "Yes! It's really beautiful! I didn't know this place existed." we walked through the forest as night was approaching, we saw the sunset together and even if hours passed, we didn't mind a bit.

"Hey, Y/N, are you cold?" He hugged me from behind, rubbing his hands against my arms to warm myself. When all of a sudden, he stopped walking and looked behind "Uhh, Kazuha, is something wrong? You look a bit stressed" Kazuha looked back at me and goes "Don't worry Y/N, just keep walking" I was worried something came up, but I still walked as he kept looking around with a serious look. "Y/N, watch out!!" He covered my head from a projectile that blew up near me.

"Well, well, Kazuha, you and the crux owes a revenge didn't you?" Some treasure hoarders came out as they surrounded us, "So it was your men in the end. Does it need to be right now?" Kazuha released me and cocked his head sideways, "Don't make yourself look easy, you overcame more of us than you think. We know you don't mind getting yourself hurt, but what about your loved ones?" The leader threatened Kazuha as he got angry and gripped his sword, "Is that so...?!"

He unsealed his sword and looked back at me, "Y/N, run away and don't let them catch you! I'll come for you in a minute!" I shook my head as I quickly grabbed my weapon, "Don't worry! I can also fight" The treasure hoarders already started grabbing their weapons, aiming for us"No, Y/N, escape now. They are not the normal enemies!" I didn't insist and ran as quick as I could. All I could see from afar was Kazuha lilting his sword everywhere until they backed off.

By the moment I came back to see him, he was already resting his head on a tree, the pale moonlight revealing his bloodied face. I quickly rushed to see him, "Y/N! Were you hurt?! Are you alright?!"I got really mad. How can this man think about me when he was the one beat up? I grabbed his face to clean up the blood and he lightly whispered "Don't worry I'm fine, just some scratches" I realized his body was full of stains and cuts "These aren't just scratches! I need to get you medical attention quick!" His quickened breath was tiring him more and answered, "No, there's no need. I'm just tired, would you mind if I'd only rest at your place?" I gave up on convincing for a while, I only helped him walk to my home."

I helped him sit on the sofa and searched for my aid gear "At least let me help to patch you up. I'll only worry more if I don't..." He only smiled knowing how stubborn I was "If you really want to, then I guess I have no choice, but please be gentle~" I was astonished he said yes I got slightly nervous "Take off your clothes first... I'll delay awhile cleaning your cuts..." The young man did as said and took off his clothes slowly while I dipped the cotton in the rubbing alcohol.

I slowly began to stroke his firm muscles as gentle as I could and Kazuha flinched a bit "Ouch... miss Y/N, a little gentler, please?" I was too nerve-racking to respond and went even gentler as he asked, knowing how angry I was and focused I was he only felt guilt he made me feel like this. After I was done patching him up, I looked away and pouted in disappointment, "Y/N, don't be mad... I know I worried you, but it was for your own good..."

I stayed quiet for a while until he sighed and grabbed my wrist to pull me into him "I'm sorry Y/N, I really am. But I was worried you'd get hurt, even if you can fight I wouldn't want to harm you for something that happened to me" I only positioned myself on his tensed muscles and complained "You could've died... aren't you afraid to lose your life...?" He only pet my head and continued, "As long as it's for you, I don't mind" His simple words made me look at him in shock

"Y/N, I've loved you for a long time now, You look like an angel straight from heaven; I am so lucky to have you in my life. I wouldn't forgive myself seeing you hurt, I only want you to be..." he struggled to find the correct words, so he pulled me for a kiss, he kissed my nose, my cheeks, and my lips. There were no words to explain such feeling, he was gentle as the wind, as soft as his words and kind. "Y/N, I want... I want to be the one you love~"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think it's fair since Kazuha doesn't have much fan service of such lol... But I hope you enjoyed this story as well! Remember, send me any request of genshin or any other fandom, and I'll make the most of it nwn again, I am sorry if it felt longer than usual... now I'm returning to school, so I'll do my best to write quickly! Love you <3 and stay hydrated it's 5 am now so sleepy time u.u zzz

When Fearleader wants something, she will get it by any means necessary. She takes loss a little hardly, but never lets anything get in the way of her fierce spirit or energy. Much of her dialogue is her hollering and chanting, so she is very noisy. 

Abilities

As a cheerleader, Fearleader is incredibly athletic and very energetic. She can run at a speed faster than other villains. She can boost herself off the ground with gusts of wind and perform acrobatic maneuvers, striking poses midair. She is shown to be able to toss her pom-poms, fling them around with her mind, and call them back to her. She also has good spelling and rhyming skills. 

History

An ordinary young girl named Farrah was a practitioner of competitive cheerleading. Her squad, the Flylanders, were an unbeatable team with a long winning streak. But, then came the regional championship, which they shockingly lost. Taking their loss to heart, Farrah grew furious, abandoned her team, and started sporting a new, evil look. She vowed to not let anybody destroy her from then on. She is said to have been thrown in Cloudcracker Prison for going on a power-thirsty cheering rampage.

Skylanders: Trap Team

Fearleader encountered the Skylanders on the outside of the Chandelier Circus and started a battle with them. She was then defeated and trapped. 

After her capture, she was taken back to the circus for her villain quest with Jazzerina*, called "Cheers for Fears." The dancer explained that her friends from town were feeling discouraged from being in danger. She needed an experienced cheer captain as tough, fearless and spirited as Fearleader, whom she knew a long time ago, to raise their spirits. Farrah completed her task while also fighting off invading monsters in the town. Afterwards, she was awarded with Jazzy's thanks, the Spirit Hat, and a new color scheme for her outfit.

There's not really a gender mentioned, so you can imagine it however you see comfortable?

_________________________

Meeting!

Keigo fell for you like love at first sight! He saw you soaring through the skies one night and decided to investigate

he didn't remember seeing other winged people around ?

You had just moved from northern Japan to start a new life in Musutafu! No specific reason, you're just very adventurous!

Although your arms are basically wings, you have hands still! Your ears are small wings and you have a tail of silky feathers.

Deciding to settle for a job at large, open spaced library, you worked mainly night shifts(7pm-3am) restocking the large shelves. Reading was one of your main hobbies, as you really didn't want to become a hero.

Your dad and peers wondered why you didn't want the hero life, your quirk could definitely be of use! But alas, you settled for minor jobs and not so life threatening work.

So, one night precisely at 3:31 am, you decided to tour the city from the skies after an exhausting workout of book shelving. (did that make sense oop) Flying alone was so peaceful, especially with the gorgeous view of a dimly lit city where most people were sound asleep.

You flew by Hawks who had been lost in thoughts on a rooftop, quietly gliding through the cool breeze. Just a few stray feathers fell past his face as he was snapped out of his trance and quickly looked around.

of course, he had to see what giant thing just flew by him. That was most definitely not your normal bird.

He hurriedly jumped off and dove into the night sky.

"Hey! Hey dove!" He hollered out a random bird nickname while flying faster to catch up with you. You hesitantly glanced around, hovering for a bit to see what exactly called to you. More like a who. What you didn't expect to see was Japan's number 2 pro hero Hawks flying straight at you at an almost alarming speed. Milliseconds before he would collide into you, he came a an abrupt halt just a foot away from you.

"Ummm, hello there, sir..Hawks. Is there anything you needed from me?" You cautiously asked, kind of scared that you had done something wrong.

"No need for sir, just Hawks is fine! And uhh, maybe, a chance to get to know you?" He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck as his other hand slid into his pocket giving him a casual stance. You were kind of in awe now. It all seemed so surreal.

"S-sure! I don't see why not?" You stuttered out as you avoided his curious gaze. You both awkwardly made your way to the rooftop of the library. Hawks stared intently at you before starting to speak.

"So uhh...."

"Y/n, my..my name is Y/n." You introduced your name as he looked a little lost on how to start.

"Oh what a pretty name for a pretty/handsome bird!" He chirped happily. "Well, you already know I'm Hawks so! If you don't mind, may I ask about your quirk? Or, or when you got to Musutafu? Or if you even did move here but were here all along? A-" He was just so excited to see a fellow winged person!

"H-hold on!" You waved your hands, flustered at the amount of questions. Hawks looked to you sheepishly and quietly apologized while maintaining a small grin. "It's ok, it's ok! Just, need to collect my thoughts hahaha." He nodded and patiently stared at you, or, more specifically your winged arms.

"Well, for my quirk, its just Harpy. I have,-these things-" You fluttered your wings to show them off, "and a tail, and yes, I do have talons, but I'm able to retract them so I can wear normal shoes lol. My ears, also happen to be wings too.." You trailed off while looking to the side to show him your ears.

He stared in wonder and whispered beautiful when you turned your head. "Oh! Uh- well- Are you new around here dove?"

"Oh, yeah, I just decided to move here about a week ago, no special reason if I'm being honest. Just simply needed a change of scenery..." You shifted nervously being in the presence of the #2 hero. Hawks smiled warmly with a closed eye grin.

"Well, you probably (lol definitely) know already that I'm Hawks, the #2 hero of Japan! I uhh, if it's alright with you, maybe we could exchange phone numbers! Maybe we can meet up for coffee or something?" He blushed and looked away as your eyes slightly widened at this offer.

You really were having a hard time believing this could be true, it all felt like a fantasy or something. Like it was an imagine if sorts. "Pinch me now, how is this happening," you whispered, still slightly dazed. Hawks slowly lifted twi fingers towards your cheek, pinching the squishy skin. You jumped slightly and let out a little yelp. He smirked back at you.

"Did I saw that out loud ?" You voice wavered with embarrassment. He just chuckled at you and extended his phone out to you.

"Here, you can enter your number! And I'll do the same for you!" You fumbled to pull your phone out of your bag and shakily handed it to him while taking his into your own hands.

HawkMan😉

Is what he decided to put into your phone while you just save your name as "Y/n". You smiled at this and clicked your phone off.

"Well Hawks...it was really nice meeting you! I should get going now, y'know, maybe actually try to get some sleep hahaha. If it's ok, text me when you're avaliable next?" You stared right into his golden eyes, taking in the beauty of it all. He's such a pretty birb.

"Sounds good! Will do! See ya around dove!" He waved with a large grin as you both took off in your separate directions.

As you flew through the cool nightly breeze, you smiled and warm feelings filled your chest as you recounted your conversation with Hawks. Dang, he is just so dreamy and sweet!

Come ride with me

You had no idea what to expect when Iwaizumi Hajime, your best friend since kindergarten asked you to to go on a ride with him. Sure you had went on long drives before, going up to your favourite spots to watch the sunset over some take out or just driving around the city in the middle of the night. The best part of your days was when his name would pop up on your screen asking you to hang out. What you could never tell him was that those texts and the time you spent with him was making you fall for him. What you had also realised is that you could no longer pretend you felt nothing more than friendship towards him. Seeing other girls pin after the gorgeous Ace of Aoba.

So with him pulling up to your house you decided you would confess your feelings and deal with the consequences. To hell with all of it but you couldn't keep your feelings in anymore.

When you exited the house and saw Iwa chans white car parked and waiting and the beautiful brunette behind the wheel you couldn't help but smile, walking up to him and jumping in. "Where are we going to today?" You asked with a chuckle as Iwaizumi put his phone down. "Uhh I thought we could check out a new spot over the hills.. I heard the view of the sunset is amazing.." he said with a soft smile and a half nervous scratch of the back of his neck. You couldn't hide the smile on your face as you caught his small nervous tail tale sign. "Ahh with you Iwa chan to the moon.." you teased with a small push which made Iwaizumi smile and relax. "Okay I guess that's the next destination.." he said before starting the car and driving off.

The drive was spent in singing songs on the radio at the top of your lungs, roof down with the sun slowly coming down behind you as you climbed over the hills to a beautiful cliffside. Iwaizumi found a good place to park before the both of you hopped out of the car and headed to your new spot.

Prepared as always Iwaizumi laid down a blanked before sitting down, his long legs dangling off the cliff. He patted the spot next to him, inviting you to sit beside him. The look on your face at the steepness of the cliff was one of clear terror. You weren't afraid of heights but you didn't love them either. "Come on kitty cat. Why are you afraid?" Iwaizumi teased with a chuckle. You shook your head before slowly coming to sit down beside him, your legs tucked to the side, too afraid to dangle them as Iwaizumi did.

You looked out at the view ahead and smiled. He was right, you could see the city and the sun slowly setting over it, the buildings melting away in the bright reds and yellows. The view was breathtaking but you couldn't help but feel your heartbeat speed up as your hand rested right next to Iwaizumis. With a deep breath you turned to Iwaizumi only to catch him already looking at you. "Whats wrong Iwa chan?", you asked softly as you tried to read the expersion on his face.

"I wanted to bring you here to talk about something.." Iwaizumi said softly, his hand seemingly coming closer to yours, your fingers just barely touching. "What did you want to talk about?" Your shaky voice betrayed you slightly as the worst thoughts began twirling in your brain. Did he have a girlfriend? Did he feel how you felt about him but didn't like it? You had a feeling nothing good was going to come out of it, or was it just your overthinking brain trying to drive you crazy.

You could see a slight blush creep onto his cheeks as he looked up from your hands to your face before he spoke. "I like you Y/N. I have for a while." He admitted and your heart skipped a bit. "And I don't mean like you like a friend. I like your smile and chuckles at my stupid jokes, I like how you make me feel safe and relaxed when I'm around you.. I like the way you make me feel and I hope you maybe like me a bit more than just your best friend.." Iwaizumi said nervously as he scratched the back of his neck. You felt like time froze around you as he spoke the words you could only dream of hearing from him one day, the nervousness drifted away as you watched how he nervously scratched the back of his neck as he looked at you with the most adorable boyish smile ever. The smile you had come to love so much, the smile that made you fall in love with Iwaizumi in the first place.

"I do like you Iwa chan and it's way more than just a friend. I have for a while now but I was worried you wouldn't feel the same. I was afraid that I would ruin our friendship if I said anything and I was ready to because I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. I was actually going to say the same thing today.. " you admitted breathlessly before chucking. You placed your hand over his and leaned in a bit closer. "I.. Can I kiss you Iwa chan?" You asked softly.

The confesion made Iwaizumi's cheeks blush and your soft request didn't help with the redness spreading across his cheeks. "You should have said something baka.." he said before his hands came up to cup your face. "You are still my best friend but so much more Y/N" he said softly before his lips connected with yours. The sweet sensation felt better than anything you have ever felt, your hands coming up and resting over his as you smiled into the soft kiss.

Best friends no more, but so much more.

Here's chapter 8! Revealed

Once Giulia and Maria were finished with deliveries, they started riding back down the hill back to their home just as the boys were coming back from fishing. "Whoa, that's a lot more fish than before!" Giulia said, "That's because a lot of fish start migrating." Luca said. Maria stared at the pile of fish, hungrily. "Uhh, you ok, Maria?" Alberto asked but she didn't respond and walked away into the house. Everyone joined inside taking the pile of fish so Massimo can cut them and Giulia can deliver. At night, Maria was up in the treehouse eating some raw fish she snuck out of the kitchen as Alberto was approaching from behind whispering "Silencio Bruno, Silencio Bruno!" and he took a deep breathe and tapped Maria's shoulder and she turned around.

"Uhh... Hey!" Alberto said nervously. "So... About earlier today... just wanted to point out that that was an accident...." "We don't experience your culture of 'love,' could you perhaps teach me?" Maria asked "Oh! Uhh... Sure?" Alberto said nervously "You did say you were an expert on humans." Maria said "I am! And I'm an expert on love! So I'll teach you." Said Alberto sitting next to Maria. "Giulia said that kissing meant you 'like' someone." Maria said facing towards Alberto "Yes, but there's a bit more to it than that." He said, "Like what?" Said Maria "Uhh, well, like, getting to know someone, someone that's like you! What you like, what your into, understands what you need." Alberto said "Like you?" Maria said, "What?" Said Alberto confused, "Yes, when we rode your Vespa up the hill and I spoke about my troubles, you understood what I needed, to be free, to live like you. And you and I both like flowers and we're both into exploring." Maria said.

"Yeah, I guess so!" Alberto said giggling out of excitement then he turned and saw Luca coming out of the window with a book, "Hey, Alberto! Wanna read this pirate book with us? It's amazing!" He said excitedly, Alberto sighed, "No thanks, Luca. You two have all the fun you want, I'm fine." He said turning away in a annoyed tone. "Ok!" Luca shrugged and went back inside to Giulia to continue with their fun. Maria noticed Alberto's facial expression changed, "Why are you mad?" She asked, "You know how you felt when you saw your friends' corpse? Yeah, that's how I feel sometimes, like, they just forgot about me..." Alberto said sadly, "I would never forget you, Alberto." Maria said putting her hand on his shoulder, Alberto smiled, "Thanks, Maria." He said putting his hand on top of hers.

Maria leaned closer and kissed Alberto on the lips like before and closed her eyes, Alberto deepened the kiss and closed his eyes too then pulled away when Massimo called him down to hunt for some more fish. "I'll be right back." Alberto said and jumped down from the tree exiting through the gate with Massimo waving goodbye to Maria who was waving back from the tree.

The next day, Maria was hovering over Alberto who was still sleeping. Then Giulia opened her window and played her trumpet noise again waking up Alberto who accidentally bonked his head against Maria's. "Ow, sorry Maria." Alberto said rubbing his from the pain, "Are you ok?" Maria asked, "Yeah, how hard is your head?" He asked "We are trained to be strong in every step. Muscles, instincts, knowledge-" She started "Yeah yeah, I get it." You won't really need to use those techniques now that your here." Alberto said standing up.

"Hey, c'mon! We have to get to work!" Giulia shouted, "Alright already, we're coming!" Alberto said and jumped down from the tree along with Maria as they both headed towards Massimo to the boat. While heading towards the boat, Alberto turned to see Luca get on a bike and ride with Giulia through the town to deliver some fish from yesterday, he turned back around and looked down angrily but sighed and hopped on the boat.

While out at sea, Maria jumped out of the boat into the water. "Where is she going?" Massimo asked, "Probably to catch some fish for us." Alberto said as they pulled the net into the water. Maria was swimming fast, going far away from the boat and searching around for anything to give to Alberto when she saw a big wrecked ship. Maria swam over to the giant wreckage and took a look inside to find some more fish inside and some skeletons from when the ship sank. She also found a chest with chains, she swam over to it and broke the chains with her bear claws and opened it to reveal jewelry and treasure, she took some of the jewelry breaking them and mitch matching them into necklaces for her and Alberto to wear.

Some fish got caught into the net as Massimo and Alberto started pulling the net up, "Thanks, Maria!" Alberto said shouting into the water, but there was no response, "Maria?" He said and then sighed "She must be at my island again, I'll go get her." Alberto said and dove into the water to find Maria swimming back to the boat, "Hey, where were you?" Alberto said swimming up to her, "Gathering the fish." Maria said hiding the gifts behind her back then grabbing her floating shorts and hopped onto the boat turning back into a human and putting her jean shorts back on and placing the necklaces in her pockets.

Once back on the boat, they started heading back to shore. Luca and Giulia were heading down the hill while Giulia was timing Luca's speed, "Woohoo! New record, Luca!" Giulia cheered, Luca giggled and hopped off the bike and placing it next to the door. Then they both started walking towards the dock where Alberto, Massimo and Maria were getting off the boat with another load of fish.

Massimo took the net full of fish and brought it inside to prepare for tomorrow, Alberto and Luca started heading back to the water. "Where are you going?" Maria asked, "Oh, I have lifeguarding, and Luca is helping." Alberto said "What is 'lifeguarding?'" Maria asked. "It's when you have to be on lookout to see if anyone's drowning to go save them or if there are sharks in the water. And its quite fun." Alberto said "Can I join you?" Maria asked, "You can, just don't get wet." Alberto said as they headed into the water and turned into their Sea Monster forms.

Maria sat on the edge watching them have fun and standing lookout for any sharks. After a few hours of everyone playing and enjoying the water, Maria took the time to continue with the necklaces, carving Alberto's name into one that had a small, thin gold chain with blue sapphires attached to it and some small seashells that spell out Alberto's name. "Hey, Maria." Alberto said swimming up to her, "What's that?" He asked "For you." Maria said holding out the gold and blue necklace to Alberto with his name carved into the seashells. "It's like a promise, as long as we wear these, we'll never forget each other." She said giving Alberto his and putting hers around her neck.

"Wow, thanks!" Alberto said putting on the necklace. Maria smiled, but then Ercole came up to ruin the fun. "Aww, how cute. Number one has a fidanzata!" He said laughing, Alberto groaned in annoyance "Ignore him, Maria." He said getting out of the water, "Oh, my apologies. I guess you two just need to cool off a bit." Ercole said pushing both of them into the water as they turned back into their original forms. Maria tried to swim back up to face Ercole but Alberto stopped her "Maria, swim away! Before he sees you!" "Sirens don't run away from a fight." Maria argued, "Maria, if he sees you your dead! Remember what he said earlier!? He sees you like this he's gonna try to hunt you down and hurt you, or worse!" Alberto said putting his hands on Maria's arms trying to get her away from Ercole.

"Alberto, stop! I'm stronger than him! I'll manage what he throws at me!" Maria said breaking free and getting into Alberto's face, "That didn't seem to work with your friend back there, did it?" Alberto snapped getting into Maria's face back "If he sees you your gonna end up like her!" Maria gasped and back away, "Who are you?" She said tearing up, "M-Maria, I didn't mean-" Alberto said swimming closer to her before she ripped her necklace off and started swimming away at a speed too fast for Alberto to catch up, "MARIA WAIT!" He said before stopping and seeing her fade away into the ocean.

Alberto jumped back up to the surface, "Eh? What was that!?" Ercole said seeing Maria swimming away and that she wasn't human either, nor a Sea Monster. Alberto went up to Ercole and punched him causing him to lose some teeth and a bloody nose. "Alberto!" Luca yelled and started getting out of the water, "What's going on?" Giulia said coming out to see what Alberto did. "Ercole, what did you do now?" Giulia sighed "YOU STAY AWAY FROM US AND LEAVE US ALONE!" Alberto yelled as Luca tried to hold him back, "Oho! We're ready for round two!" Ercole said putting his fists up. "Ok, that's enough. C'mon guys, let's go home." Giulia said as she and Luca drag Alberto back to home. "Yes, go on and run away!" Ercole said while turning away to face the direction Maria went and whispered to himself "I have a Siren to capture and a prize to win!" He whispered evilly.

"Alberto, what happened?" Luca asked, Alberto sighed "Nothing I just... I just want to be alone for a while." He said climbing the stairs and heading back to the tree sitting down while looking out the ocean thinking about Maria. Alberto sighed and realized how much he messed up, pulling out Maria's necklace and sighed again. Alberto layed down and whispered "I'm sorry, Maria." Then dozed off into sleep.

Rantception S1•E1 - princeofmints exposed | ft. TatSquirp

(I am about a month late on posting this here)

Welcome to the first episode of my brand new series titled Rantception where I talk about a topic or some unfortunate soul who became a total jerk as of recently. I am starting this series off by talking about the user by the name of princeofmints.

princeofmints is apart of the Eddsworld community and they are apart of the official EW Amino, Tumblr, and Instagram. Unfortunately princeofmints is in some hot water right now.

Oh and before I get to that, I just want to make this clear, the princeofmints that I am referring to isn't the one who made tomtord p*rn. This princeofmints is actually accused of tracing and being a total d*ck.

Also they got banned from Amino, but they are still going strong on both Tumblr and Instagram.

One more thing: don't harass them. Instead I want you to stop supporting them. Don't not praise them.

With that out the way, let's get into the news.

I unfortunately didn't know any of this drama that happened till seeing callout posts about it. But I used to like princeofmints's posts until what happened recently.

I decided to to take a look at their wall after seeing a few callout posts on them before they got taken down.

Annnnnd yeah.....they are such an arsehole. Just...just look at these screenshots....

(the third one is my favorite in terms of arsehole energy that's being radiated from it)

I'll be honest with you, the third is the one that show the bitterness of princeofmints. Trying to guilt trip you. I'm sorry to say this, but it's not working. Nice try.

Now I'll handing the rest of this over to the one and only Squirp/TatSquirp who've agreed to be on the show and I certainly didn't kidnap them.

Squirp: ...Why am I here? Why am I tied u-

Lbat1901(me): Shhhh! Just give the audience your side on this

Squirp: Ok, fine...*clears throat*....so a week ago, I've made a callout post exposing princeofmints titled "Dethroning a Prince". It took me awhile to everything and not too soon after posting it on Animo, I've also posted it on Instagram.

Oh boy...it got taken down. No actually I got told by a model on Animo to take it down which I did while on Instagram it got flagged for harassment. I eventually reposted it.

princeofmints (or what I like to call her, Prince) is a 15 year old artist who mostly draws Tom, Tord, and the ship TomTord. She was on the EW Amino since January 13th of this year before getting banned. S

Alright with that out of the way, I'll try to make this brief

She also has been known to cause quite the trouble.

I have been caught up to speed on what Prince has done even learning th as t she had actually scammed someone.

I believe that Lbat told you this already, but Prince's name was stolen by someone who has the same name, but let's dwell on this.

Part 1 - Tracing:

Squirp: Ok so, a few days ago some of my friends and I looked at one of Prince's art and discovered that it was traced from an already existing drawing made by P-Nim. Of course Prince denied this and claimed that it was her own art.

Ok I'll make this clear, Prince didn't draw it for a DTIYS. If Prince didn't trace it then she shouldn't be claiming it as her own.

Also if you want to compare posts or have a look for yourself, you can't cause she deleted it. So much for being reasonable which goes into this next part....

Part 2 - Blocking those who've cornered you for being unreasonable:

Squirp: Oh yes, just like TBATF, Prince also blocks people for calling her out. Unlike TBATF who only block people for giving them criticism and calling them out on their behavior, Prince blocks people for many reasons.

One of them being totally unreasonable. She blocked one of my friends who called her out for tracing. Prince even deleted several comments when trying to defend herself for being called out before deciding to hit the block button.

She even blocked me after I tried to call her out on her wall. I did PM her a few days later about and guess what her response was. The reason why she blocked me was because she didn't like me.

My god....that has to be most stupidest as all hell reason to block someone and folks, we're on the second part on this and things are already getting heated.

Part 3 - Being a b*ch isn't all that cool:

Squirp: Hold on a minute, why is b*ch censored?

(Editor: that's because it's Lbat's show and I am meant to help with anything that Lbat puts out for everyone to see)

Squirp: Yeah, but why? Who cares anyway?

(Editor: well you're probably have a point, but it's my job. Now are you going to continue to argue or are you going to keep going with your side of the story?)

Squirp: I am...geez! I've never meant an editor that's who picky. This isn't YouTube with the whole COPPA thing you know.

Anyway..... pt 3....Prince has to be one of the biggest d*cks that I have ever talked to and- oh my god, why would you censor the word- forget it. Forget it...

Erm...yeah....she cursed at some many people that it's just mindboggling. She's not the most pleasant person to talk to on Amino or anywhere else.

Before you say that she probably has some mental health issues, don't even bother. Well I know she does has some issues, but it doesn't give her the excuse to not be a total d*ck. People who do have issues are at least well spoken and are respectful to others.

But Prince on the other hand, not a freaking single chance.

Part 4 - Stop acting sad:

Squirp: You're probably thinking to yourself, "Wow, Prince is a jerk" and you'd be right. But to make matters worse, she likes to guilt trip people.

How? Well she tries to make you feel sorry for her by giving you a sad sad tale before deciding to cuss you out.

That's right, it's pretty low for her. I don't need to explain why this is bad just because it is. It's really scummy especially when she's in the wrong here. Next!

Part 5 - Don't let Prince do commissions. EVER:

Oh yeah, she actually did this. I did found the person who got scammed and they are a person known as BadBoy.

You see BadBoy commissioned Prince to do a drawing for 92 coins. Unfortunately for BadBoy, Prince said that the price was actually lower than that. But it gets much much worse than that.

Prince got wicked with them and refused to give other pieces of art to BadBoy. Eventually BadBoy had enough and asked for a refund. That's when things started to escalate really fast.

Prince told BadBoy to piss off. After a long battle, Prince gave BadBoy 72 coins back when BadBoy asked for a full refund.

Squirp: I have been saving this part for last and it gave me a reason to make a callout on Prince in the first place. She literally scammed someone over 72 coins.

In summary, Prince just stole BadBoy's money and was a total d*ck towards them.

And that should do it for now, but I one final message to Prince. If you're reading this now while getting harassed for being callout for your crap: none of this, and I stress this a lot, none of this wouldn't have happened if you were to just act a tad bit kinder and a whole bit wiser.

Oh and maybe if you would've just listened. Also running away from your problems, lying, and pretending that they didn't happen makes you look like the bad guy here.

You know, I wouldn't mind you being on Animo at all if you just shallow your pride and try to do better by apologizing to everyone.

I didn't mean to make my callout post to hurt you in a way. In fact, I still believe that you can change. But atlas, your problems need to be addressed to make that happen.

All you need to do is try. That's it. That's all I ask for.

Lbat1901(me): *claps* Nicely done, Squirp. Nicely done.

Squirp: Thanks Lbat. It's been a pleasure being on here. Now can I go home now?

Lbat1901(me): Uhh.....*walks away from Squirp and walks out of the room before shutting the door*

Squirp: Lbat? Uh Lbat? Lbat? This isn't funny! Untie me! Hey cameraman, you're still here. Untie me, please

Camraman: *shrugs before shaking their head*

Squirp: What do you mean no? Ugh!

{screen cuts to Lbat sitting in a chair}

Lbat1901(me): Well that's the end of the first episode of Rantception. I want to thank TatSquirp for coming on and helping me out. Please check them out on the EW Amino and possibly their Instagram as well while you're at it.

Tumblr problems again.

Tumblr again wouldn't let me answer asks, so I'm doing it this way.

This actually wasn't in my inbox, I don't know what tumblr's deal is. Anyway, sorry for the delay, anon, I had planned to post this yesterday but I had to write this two times because the first time wasn't posting.

It was a girls' night out, there were plans to visit this new pub that has opened nearby, stay for a few hours and then go straight home. At least that was your plan. You just wanted to catch up with your friends.

Getting piss drunk was never a part of the plan but that's what ended up happening at the end of the day. What were you supposed to do, all your friends were drinking and they were encouraging you to at least have one glass. That one glass turned into multiple and you didn't even realise when you got this drunk.

And now you are scared. You obviously can't drive like this and you don't have the balls to call your boyfriend, Grayson. You know hell will break loose when he finds out you are drunk when you'd promised you would control it tonight.

But you can only avoid him for too long. He is the one who calls you once its past 11:30. Your breath hitches in your throat when his name flashes on your phone screen, causing your friends to throw you teasing smiles and smirks.

"He can't stay away from you, can he?"

You just give your friend a small smile and excuse yourself from the group, walking out of the pub and taking a breath of fresh air before answering the call. "Hello?"

"Hey babe, I just wanted to know when you're coming back home. Its getting late and I don't want you to drive alone at this hour."

"Uhh.. I actually wanna come home right now, but ahh..can't really drive right now," You squeeze your eyes shut, contemplating what he will say when you tell him.

He doesn't speak for the next few seconds, you actually have to call his name before he finally speaks, "you're drunk?" Grayson's voice sounds harsher than it did before, "How drunk?"

"Just a little bit, baby." You say, voice small and meek in comparison to his. "Can you please come pick me up?"

He sighs and you hear some rustling on the other side before he says, "Yeah, I can. Send me the address and I'll be there."

And you can see the familiar blue Porsche from the window within fifteen minutes of the phone call, causing you to say rushed goodbyes to your friends, collect your things and walk to the car that has several people's attention. Ha! If only they could see what the prince driving the beauty looks like!

Grayson already leaned over and opened your door for you from the inside before sitting straight again, looking straight ahead. One look at him and you can tell he is mad. So you just sigh, getting into the car wordlessly.

The whole way home, grayson doesn't say anything and you don't have anything to say other than 'sorry'. So you're left to pout on your own, staring out of the window, watching the cars, trees and buildings passing by in a blur. Then you look at Gray, who is gripping the wheel really tight, the vein in his bicep is popping. You go back and forth between the window and your boyfriend for the rest of the ride.

When you do reach home, Grayson shuts off the engine, gets out and goes into the house, forcing you to follow behind him. His legs are long and you can't match his stride because of your tight dress, not to mention the high heels you have on that are really killing your feet. On top of that, you can't walk straight, tripping over your own two feet.

Grayson has to stop on his way to the bedroom and wait for you to catch up. When he turns back, he sees you walking with your head down and your hair coming in your face, obstructing your view of the floor. You stumble once and he is walking over to you.

You are left flabbergasted when one moment, you are strppling to walk on the plain floor and the next, the floor is not even beneath your feet. Your man literally swept you off your feet and is now carrying you to his room like you're some princess.

Like you are his bride.

The thought makes you blush and giggle to yourself but that giggle quickly dies down when Grayson's jaw hardens. Little do you know, he clenched his jaw to stop himself from smiling at your utter cuteness.

Drunk Y/N is the cutest girl in the world, in Grayson's opinion.

"I'm sorry, Gray." You mumble, looking up at him from under your lashes as he opens the door to his room and then closes it with his foot.

"Its okay."

You know it's not okay, you can tell from his tone alone that he is still angry at you and you don't like it when Grayson is angry, especially when he is angry at you.

Drunk Y/N is also very emotional, so when Grayson places you down on his bed and turns back to walk into the bathroom, you kick off your heels in frustration, hands working to take off your earrings next. The goal is to keep yourself busy so you don't break down crying. The bottom lip that has been slightly jotted out from the moment you got into the Porsche with Grayson, has now started to wobble when the left earing starts to get difficult.

Grayson comes out of the bathroom with a pach of makeup removing wipes in one hand and one of his t-shirts in the other. The sight of you struggling to take off your earing is what he is met with. He just stops and stares as you struggle with the little thing, your eyebrows furrowed like you've been told to solve the toughest maths equation, lips pouting cutely, hair falling all over the place. His heart melts for you and all the anger he had melts away right with it.

How can one be mad at their girlfriend when said girlfriend is the cutest woman in the entire world?

"C'mon, you bitc-" You all but yank at the earing, yelping on pain the very next second and that causes Grayson to continue walking till he is kneeling in front of you.

"Easy there, tiger." He chuckles as his hands take yours and push them away from your poor ear, "I got this."

You just look at your pretty painted toenails, fingers absentbmmindedly playing with themselves as Grayson takes off your earing in one go and hands it into your open palm. You scoff, glaring daggers at the little earing, "I always knew she liked you better than me."

"Who-the earing?" Grayson asks, amused as he watches you narrow your eyes at the earing and press your lips together as if you're trying to intimidate the inanimate object, before you mumble, "You betrayed me." very quietly.

Grayson just bites his lip, watching as you slam the thing down on the bed and begin to remove your necklace. While you are doing that, Grayson takes out some wipes and begins taking off your makeup from your forehead. His hands are so gentle on your face, you doubt any makeup is coming off at all, but you don't stop him. His fingers tilt your head up when he starts to get product off your chin and your heartbeat doubles up in speed when Grayson's fingers apply the lightest pressure on your lips while taking off the dark lipstick you had put on earlier in the evening. He does it all with such concentration too. Gosh, you love this man so much, it hurts!

"Okay, get undressed and put this on. I'll go take a shower." He instructs, handing you the t-shirt he brought for you before he disappears into the bathroom again. This reminds you that he is still mad because you guys usually take the night time showers together. With a heavy heart, you get yourself out of your tight dress, get into the shirt and grab a pillow and the smaller blanket off Grayson's bed before you leave the room.

Grayson comes back to an empty room, thinking you must be in the kitchen getting water or something, but when you don't come into the room even after fifteen minutes, he gets up and decides to go look for you. He doesn't have to look for long because he finds you curled up on the couch with a blanket draped over you, the moment he takes a few steps into the living room.

Sighing, Grayson walks to you and kneels down in front of you. A kiss is placed on top of your head, causing you to open your eyes and stare up at him. The second you know its him, you quickly hide your face in your pillow, not wanting him to know you were crying.

But Grayson notices the tear marks on your cheeks and he also notices your light sniffles that are pulling at his heart strings. "Hey, no. Babe, why are you crying?" He asks, keeping one hand on top of your head and kissing your temple. "Y/N, why are you sleeping here?"

There is usually not much in the world that can make Grayson Dolan weak in the knees, but one thing that he absolutely can not bare to see is tears in your eyes and the sad thing is, whenever you cry, his brain freezes and he doesn't know what to do. He usually settles for holding you to his chest and carding his fingers through your hair, but today, since he's sure he is the cause of your tears, he doubts you would want to be held by him. "Baby, why'd you come to the couch?"

"Because you're mad at me and I thought you wouldn't want to sleep next to me." You sniffle, voice breaking sometimes.

Grayson sighs, looking heavenwards for dramatic affect because he's extra like that before saying, "baby, I'm not mad at you! And I would never not want to be sleeping next to you, hell i can't even sleep well when you're not next to me."

This makes you peek up at him, "you're not mad?"

"No, now can you please get up and come to bed with me?" He taps your thigh, urging you to get up which you do, at your own lazy pace because who can blame you? Your feet are sour from wearing those damn heels all night.

Grayson doesn't have a problem in picking you up and carrying you to the room again though, so that's what he does, making you giggle when he sweeps you off your feet for the second time today.

Once he's tucked you into bed and gotten in himself, the blankets over the both of you, he pulls you into his arms and sighs in contentment.

"You sure you're not mad?" You ask again, just to be sure.

Grayson smiles and squeezes your waist, "No babe, go to sleep."

"Okay, I love you."

"I love you too."

"I love you three."

Grayson's chest vibrates with his laughter, making you look up at him innocently because you didn't know you cracked a joke?

"Y/N, you're so drunk, babe." He laughs again, causing you to snap.

"But I still love you, even if you were mean and laughed at me and didn't say it back and also called me a drunkard." The tell tale signs of a drunk Y/N is her getting triggered over the smallest of things.

Grayson knows better than to mess with your feelings right now so he just says what you want to hear. So much for being mad. Ethan is right, he really is so whipped for his girl. "Okay, babe. I love you four."

You smile, "love you five, Gray."

"God, Y/N, go to sleep."

Q&A post with the Mods!!!!

This is going to be a long one oh boy

How strict is the delineation of creative control vis-a-vis characters/plays between the mods? (@pedanticlecturer)

We generally have the plays split up along lines of “what we know”— we have a list at the very beginning of the blog. Sometimes we’ll draw the others’ characters (mostly me drawing some of Star’s…) but even then the final say on characterization is up to the “main” mod for that play — mod aster

what aster said -- mod star

What is your favorite play? What is your favorite character in terms of how they were written in the source material? (@pedanticlecturer)

I think my favorite play overall is Macbeth, just because I like the vibes (and the fact that I too could kill Macbeth), the fact that you don’t say it’s name in theatres, and the fact that it’s a play I did a full read through and analysis of in class. Favorite character? Puck from Midsummer. — mod aster

uhhhh,, hmm. ive always had a soft spot for midsummer since i saw it with aster esp bc of how fun the costumes were. of the comedies it has the largest potential to be the most visually pleasing bc of the concept of fairies,,,and im gay and dramatic so i love that. id die if i got to costume design for midsummer,,,or be in it,,,yeah. fav character. hmm. probably mercutio?? i recently saw a version of romeo and juliet where mercutio was played by a woman and oh my god it was amazing!!! not to mention mercutio’s portrayal in baz luhrmann's INCREDIBLE version of r n j!!! (I based my mercutio design on him) he just spends the entire time making dick jokes. love that. -- mod star

How do you answer asks so fast? I mean it's great but I'm impressed 😂 (Anon)

Personally, it’s a mix of: notifications on, quick drawing speed, and using the blog to avoid my class work — mod aster

aster is fast and (as you can see from all of my answers) im lazey -- mod star

Are there any elements/characters of the plays you're covering that you would have liked to work into this blog's plot, but couldn't due to the constraints of the setting or the synthetic nature of the blog? (@pedanticlecturer)

I wanted to make everyone gay but unfortunately due to plot constraints we have to have some hets but that wont stop me from making it lgbt as possible. -- mod star

I did want to make The Tempest more of a central play, but it just didn’t translate well. Similarly, other supernatural elements like the witches in Macbeth. This isn’t so much a constraint mentioned, but my own time/energy means that I want to show the Macbeth backstory, in a specific format, but I can’t right now— mod aster

Is there a hierarchy of import when it comes to each play's individualized impact on shakespeare high's general arc? If so, what plays are crucial to the foundation of the story? Which ones did you do mostly for shits and giggles? (@pedanticlecturer)

This is phrased like an ACT question and i might not answer it right so sorry in advance but: mod aster and i only selected a few plays for each of us to do given we dont know all of shakespeare’s works, but we tend to put more emphasis on the the more well known. But it also comes down to 1. How much we have plotted out for each play and 2. What the followers ask about most. Our two most popular are hamlet and macbeth bc people are familiar w those but around march caesar always becomes relevant again. I didnt even have designs for some of the characters until someone asked about them. -- mod star

I would say the same as star— it generally comes down to what people ask about. I will say that the overall plot is sort of separated into “has happened” and “is happening”. Like, the human potion of Midsummer, Julius Caesar, and Macbeth are all in the “aftermath” portion, while Twelfth Night, Hamlet, and Romeo and Juliet, among others, are happening. We’re trying to incorporate as much as we can, and I don’t think any of them were really put in without some thought.— mod aster

What personal significance does shakespeare hold in ur guys' lives? (@pedanticlecturer)

I go to a theater school rn and so ive dealt w shakespeare (although not all of them) it also helps that i was in loves labours lost last year as moth and that i read hamlet and r n j. Theres also a theater in my state that always does One Big Shakespeare per season and they always do them super well!!! My love for shakespeare probably started w seeing midsummer at that theater w mod aster!!! So. Theater kid rights!! -- mod star

To be honest, I got back into Shakespeare Because of the blog. I’ve been friends with some people that got really Pretentious about Shakespeare, and it kinda put me off of it. I did have a book of abridged plays (the plays’ plots written out in prose, basically) that I read as a kid, which is what got me into not only the plots of a lot of the plays, but also the idea of having them illustrated. And, same as star, the theater in state does the One Big Shakespeare— and they tend to do some really cool things with the costumes, setting them in diff time periods. I haven’t been able to see any lately since I’ve moved, but they still slap. — mod aster

🥰😘💙🥰🥰💜💟🥰I 😍💗💚😍😍LOVE🖤🖤 YALL ♥️♥️🧡💛💚💝❣️💕💘💖💗💓💞💝❤️💛💜 okay now i have a question i swear— how long have the two of you been doing art??? and what were your first shakespeare plays??? (@hellaghosts)

Uhh i started drawing when i was like idk 12 and i have the giant boxes of sketchbooks to prove it!!! I moved to digital art at abt 14-15 but mostly stayed traditional until this yr when i got a Neat New Tablet so some of my sketchbooks are sitting abandoned rip. My first shakespeare was either romeo and juliet or midsummer nights dream and i love both of them v much!!! I have a very old piece of art that i did for r n j for my freshman class assignment on it and it hasnt aged well alsdjfjafd circa 2016 i think??? -- mod star

Oh man. I started drawing when I was about 10, but it was Bad. I don’t think I got much into drawing again until I was about 14? Sometime around the end of middle school/beginning of high school. I would say I started getting into drawing as more than doodling/coloring edits sometime around 2015-16? I would draw on my iPad with my finger, then I got a tablet for my computer, and now I pretty much stick to my iPad with an Apple Pencil. My first Shakespeare play was….. uh…… probably Midsummer???? I have No idea. We would go to plays when I was little, so I honestly don’t remember if I saw others before. It may have been Romeo and Juliet— I had that book where it was the original and the “modernized” with the little dog that explained things— which, if you know it makes sense, but if you don’t is probably a bonkers answer. — mod aster

Do you think this blog has like? An overarching thesis (be it b/c intentionally or simply b/c ur own take on the world has bled thru to the point where u believe it’s central to the piece at this point)? (@pedanticlecturer)

Not gonna lie, I had to read that like three times AND dm you to figure out what you were asking from us and all I have is “be gay, respect women, write your own happy endings”. — mod aster

This blog started with an ides of march shitpost and you think we have enough brain energy to write a whole thesis? I projected feelings of found family onto my half of the blog but idk if that counts. Be gay do crime 420 69 -- mod star

What’s the nature/rough dynamic of ur relationship? How do y’all know each other? (@pedanticlecturer)

Met mod aster when i was like 4 and even tho we didnt live close we became like, best friends although the Best part didnt start until we were like 13-ish and eventually we talked like non stop (about anime and homestuck. Yknow. 13 year old kid things) and we didnt see each other a lot bc of Distance and now its even worse bc aster is in colleg.,e but we consider each other siblings regardless of family bc we’re adopted into our own respective families so that bled over into our friendship and it would feel weird calling him anything other than my brother now. We’ve seen each other at our best and worst and if you really want a good insight on what we’re like as siblings watch griffin and justin mcelroy’s overview video of catlateral damage wherein i am griffin and he is the long suffering justin. -- mod star

Star is basically my long distance sibling and functionally the only cousin I recognize bc like their parents are basically an aunt and uncle and like our dads look enough alike that we’ve both accidentally gotten the wrong dad for a hug or similar so like. Anyways yeah Star is the Griffin to my Justin, complete with our absent middle brother who we love dearly— mod aster

Dubiously relevant q but what kind of music do y’all listen to when u do art (if that is indeed a habit either of u partake in) (@pedanticlecturer)

It can depend on the piece? I was working on some (unrelated) oc prints that were song-focused, and for those I just listened to said song on loop. Sometimes I have playlists. Sometimes I’ll just be in a Mood and throw a song on loop. But a lot of time for the blog, I’ll listen to The Adventure Zone for the billionth time, because I have Too Much Attention. I’ve also, on request from Star, linked the most recent “loop song”.— mod aster

I tend to obsess over the same like 3 songs every few weeks so those get listened to on repeat but it also depends on the tone of what im drawing or who im drawing i might genre switch bc of that. If im drawing ophelia i stick to lana del rey and if im drawing hamlet its the neighborhood, horatio is sufjan stevens etc. i have categorized,. Most of the characters i draw into different songs/genres/energies of music but not like i ever follow that. Sometimes i just pull up a really long nonsense video and forget to draw. Essentially: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- mod star

How’d y’all come up with ur pseudonyms? (@pedanticlecturer)

I love space so much and my main blog is starryeydsailor space gay rights!! Im also tiny and full of energy and bright so basically i;m star -- mod star

Uhhhh i was like “hey i want to do uhhhhhh flower?” And then I google searched flower names until I found one I liked —- mod aster

How did you end up deciding the rough timeline of events in canon? (@pedanticlecturer)

It’s mostly determined by like. How we choose per story? If that makes sense. Like, we just take story by story, and decide “is it happening, has it happened, and when?” And then we fit them together in relation to each other just by dint of. All existing at once. Like, I knew I wanted Macbeth to be in aftermath, because like, even though there’s no murder, the way I’ve translated it to the AU is still kinda heavy, and it’s something that I don’t know that I could do properly if it were happening right now. Also, it’s more interesting IMO to have them at different times. Tl;dr we wing it per story and slot them together— mod aster (mod star agrees I just can word better, in theory)

If you could tell the story of shakespeare high in a different format than an ask blog, would you? Obviously y'all are making very good use of the format, but would you want to write this as a animated series or like? a comic book? or is the form inseparable from the story? (@pedanticlecturer)

I kinda wanted to do a webcomic or maybe to plot develop through like, animatics but the element of surprise comes from the asks we get and really makes us think so the blog is a good start. We didnt think we’d get this far -- mod star

Pretty much what Star said— there are certain elements where it’d be neat to do as a comic or as an animatic. Like, the fantasy dream is like, an anthology webcomic of each story, where you can like, see other characters in the background and stuff. But to be honest, we develop a lot by what we’re asked— there was a post about developing worldbuilding by being asked questions and then pretending you’ve thought about the answer, and it’s not far off. Personally, it’s hard to just lay out a story, because I have a whole WORLD and what’s relevant? What are people interested in? It’s by getting questions that I can then focus in on an area to develop. And yeah, we Super didn’t think we’d get this far lmao — mod aster

Any headcanons about your characters that you don't think will ever come up on the blog through asks or plot posts? (@pedanticlecturer)

I could make a whole separate post for this!!!!! Mostly its voice headcanons (and by mostly i mean like 1 or 2) or relationship hcs!!!! -- mod star

Honestly same. I don’t think I have voice headcanons for mine, though I bet I could find some. I’ve got a bunch of miscellaneous headcanons that just kinda float around, but like they’re scattered, too numerous for this post, and also not always things I’m sure are canon yet.— mod aster

[sun-daisies]

so after having covid and being like... pretty sick, like I think potentially concerningly sick, I was finally released back into the wild yesterday and went back to actual work today (I had been editing and marketing and such for my business throughout my quarantine, but today was my first day back to on the clock physical work)

so here's how it went down

the coffeeshop isn't open mon-wed but my boss wanted me to come in and brew/keg some cold brew and do a bit of a deep clean to get things in order while he delivered 8 kegs of cold brew to one of his clients. mopping the floor left me winded.

I worked about 5 hours at the coffeeshop, had a few hours in between, then waitressed for another 5 hours. I can now vouch for the fact that you probably should not jump straight into work after having covid. I started my day feeling like i was operating at about 90% - still a little congested and tired, but overall pretty much good to go - and ended my day at around 60%. I am dead on my feet. I could pass out. even the bartender was like "you sure you're good? you seem pretty out of it."

my first table was this sweet girl in her 20s or something, like maybe a little older than me. this went south real quick when all her friends came in. they were SO damn rude to me, like the audacity of this group of 20-somethings was disgusting. they also drank an entire brand new bottle of patron silver, were upset that we didn't have some other tequila I hadn't even heard of, then begrudgingly switched to cuervo gold for the remainder of the night. anyway they only tipped me 15% on their $260 tab (which was all alcohol and like two orders of mozzarella sticks, btw) but to be fair I got sick of their shit real quick and started kind of avoiding their table and giving them attitude right back so that was a fair tip at that point I guess

some woman from the bar went out of her way to come over to me while I was rolling silverware to tell me this story about her grandparents in the 50s. apparently they met in the restaurant back when it was called "the bloody bucket" or something like that? idfk

some nice guy with a southern accent came in by himself and we had the following exchange while he was trying to figure out what he wanted to drink:

him, scanning the drink menu: "so sorry, I have no idea what I want. uhh... what's local?" me, not knowing shit about beer: "that is the question of the hour isn't it?... sorry dude I wish I could help but I have no idea." him, a little bewildered: "I- you work in a bar." me, fucking tired: "yea, can you believe I've been here for three years and still can't tell you which beers are made five miles from here and which ones are made five thousand miles away?" him, thinking this is funny and endearing thank god: "this one's gotta be local, I'll try this one." I run back and grab his beer and bring it out to him. he goes: "that was fast!" me, just trying to do my job: "haha yeah, well" him: "hey, what you lack in beer knowledge you make up for in speed. what's good on the menu here? what do you recommend" me, biting my tongue because if it's on the menu it's clearly good: "honestly you can't go wrong with any of the menu but if you want my personal opinion our pizza is the best in the world." (I don't eat dairy, but our pizza is one of the top sellers) him, laughing at me again: "the best in the world? that's a ballsy claim" me, just wanting him to order so I can take a time out in the walk in at this point: "I'm not even saying that out of hubris, like if pizza's not your thing you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, it's all good, but our pizza is the best." spoiler alert he ordered pizza and LOVED it

anyway he thought I was hysterical and tipped me well, he was a cool guy and this particular dive bar banter was the kind that's actually really fun for me im just a lil crabby today and VERY overtired

and today kids the lesson is: if you're the kind of sick where the cdc recommends seeking medical attention - and you don't - then maybe don't expect to be operating at 100% when you're feeling better and able to do stuff again.
