Hell priest! Reader

Someone requested: How would the Stone Ocean crew react to a Hell priest! demon! Reader that's currently taking human form with a 1970s look? Reader has eyes like Risotto that are almost always hidden by their shades. They usually have a chill hippie persona. When they get serious, they drop that persona entirely to reveal an ability to summon chains to drag an enemy to Hell.Reader usually: Yo! Wassup dudes!(When Reader confronts Pucci)

Pucci: You heathen! Do you understand how much pain I went through to achieve Heaven?

Reader: *Takes off their sunglasses to reveal their eyes as chains begin to surround them* Pain? How dare you use that word. What you think of as pain is merely a shadow. Pain has a face, allow me to show it to you. I... am... pain!

(I accidentally deleted the draft, but I copied the request so I can finish. This will not follow the timeline.)

______________________________________________________________

So, how did Reader end up on Earth? Well, Hell is always waiting for new souls, but some people are so bad that waiting for them to die is not an option as they would being more harm before they finally die. So, Hell send demons to Earth in order to drag these souls down below before they can do anymore harm. Reader is one of these demons and has been on Earth since 1970. Now, it's 2011 and Reader has made his way to Green Dolphin Street Prison, and he has a list he intended to cross names off of.

🦋Jolyne Kujo🦋

🦋 She only sees you in the confession both when Pucci isn't around

🦋 She only notices you when you help her and Ermes

🦋 Once Jotaro gets put in danger, she goes to you because she thinks you're a stand user

🦋 Your chill personality in the face of almost dying kind of worries her

🦋 When you reference things from the 70s, she just thinks that you're telling stories from your parents, especially when you mention seeing demons with Acid

🦋 The bright colors of your clothes kind of blind her, but she likes howyou blend the styles of the 70s and being a priest

🦋 Wonders about your perpetual sunglasses

🦋 your attitude and perpetual sunglasses keep her on age around you

🦋 Is confused when you never give a straight answer if she asks you how old you are

Jolyne "So, how old are you?" Reader "Much older than you." Jolyne "Do understand how little that narrows it down?"

🦋 Yeah, she is the most trusting over you, which is really low

🦋 When someone punches you and your sunglasses fall off to reaval your crazy eyes, she becomes more paranoid around you

🦋 She is asks if it's anything stand or Dio related, and is shocked when you say no

🦋 When you explain that you're a demon, she laughs in your face

🦋 You already look and this only confirmed that in her mind that you're a crazy guy

🦋 Asks you to help protect her from Anasui and is happy when you threatened him

🦋 She starts to notice a few things about your appearance

🦋 She sees the necklace you where is an upside down pentagram, the "rosary beads" you use are a deep black color, and just things that look very much un priest like

🦋 But, you talk like a priest and can inspire people in a way only a priest can

🦋 Over all, you put her on edge with how calm you are about everything

🦋 During the Sports Maxx incident, she realizes you weren't joking about being a demon

🦋 Now, she has so many questions and is more freaked out because you're a real demon on Earth

🦋 When she asks you about your job and you tell her your origin, she starts to get a bit nervous

🦋 Once she gets told you aren't here for her, she calms down a bit

🦋 She promises to help you complete your list if you help her defeat Pucci and save her dad

🦋 Your chil demeanor in the face of danger now makes more sense to her, but you still freak her out

🦋 Tries to keep you calm if other prisoners or any of the guards try to annoy or fight you

🦋 Asks you about what Hell and Lucifer are really like

🦋 Acts like a feisty younger sister to you sometimes

🦋 Is thankful you'll be there to help with her daddy issues

🦋 When you all reach the final battle with Pucci, she notices how much more violent you temper had become

🦋 You snapping at Pucci and using more of demonic power scares her

🦋 She uses Stone Free to help you get into cells of people on your list in the women's ward of the prison

🦋 She might ask for more of your crazy 70s stories

🦋 Is happy that she knows your soul isn't going to Hell and that you aren't going to hurt her

🦋 It is said by many that Jolyne is bisexual so that means there is some flirting between you two if you're close to her age

🦋 The might be some light hearted teasing, or more if you're both ready

🦋 She finds you a bit hot

🦋 Is very upset when you turn her down due to her being a mortal and you being way too old for her

🦋 Is happy when you say her bisexuality won't lead her to Hell, as she probably heard that a lot in Flordia

🦋 Shows you Stone Free's powers a lot and the mobius strip trick

💋ErmesCastillo💋

💋 You two meet after you join Jolyne

💋 She keeps asking if it's a stand power and gets annoyed when you keep saying no

💋 Knows you're hiding something and wants to know what it is

💋 There is no flirting between you two as you're a man and she is a confirmed lesbian

💋 Once she starts to trust you, she might vent to you about her anger at things

💋 When you tell her you're a demon, she straight up laughs in your face and asks if the weed has fired your brain

💋 When she sees your eyes for the first time and remembers what happened with Sports Maxx, she will believe your demon claims

💋 She will somehow get her hands on salt and put herself in a salt circle if you annoy her or she's mad at you

💋 She is your wing woman if you're into women

💋 Teaches you Spanish, mostly swear words

💋 When you hulk out on Pucci with your demon powers, she is cheering you on

💋 If Jolyne and Weather are trying to talk you down from beating up Anasui, Ermes is the devil telling you to kick his ass

part 2

bold is the signing they do underwater

italics is when they speak the na'vi language

and regular is english

---------------------------------------------------

It was a normal day. The sky was its normal light blue color. You and your sister were minding your own business, swimming around in the water. Even though you had seen this part of the reef, you never failed to be amazed by its' beauty. 

"Tsireya, come look," you signed, a shot smile on your face as you pointed at the school of small silver-colored fish that were gliding gracefully through the water. The sun would reflect off of their scales, making what looked like a rainbow underwater. You looked back at your younger sister with a happy smile on your face. 

"We saw that just yesterday," responded your sister, chuckling at how you could get so excited over such little things, even though you had already seen them before.

"I know, but they are just so beautiful," you smiled happily, swimming around, excited to see what else the reef was home to. Right when you were about to call to your sister to show her another fish you had seen, a loud commotion could be heard above the water. You and your sister looked at each other, slight worry evident on both your features.

You swam to the surface to see what it was all about to see a large crowd gathered around in a circle. Your sister got to the top before you did, fixing her hair while waiting for you. You popped up beside her shortly, doing the same as her. When you looked back up you saw her looking into the crowd, smiling with a slight blush, then starting to walk towards the crowd.

You followed her line of sight to see a boy staring at her. You caught up to your sister, nudging her in the side, sending her a teasing smirk. She just rolled her eyes, looking back to the boy. Once you reached the crowd, you two squished through the people and made your way to the front, where your father stood.

You looked around, looking for your mother, to see her examining the newcomers. She was pointing out every difference between them and us, and as she grabbed one of the kids' hands, she shouted:

"They are not even true na'vi! They possess demon blood!" 

You ignored what your parents were saying, focusing on looking around the family, taking in their appearances. You could tell they were not from around here, as their skin was darker than ours, like those of the na'vi that live in the jungle. Their arms and legs were a lot thinner than ours, which would make swimming a lot harder.

You saw that there were two adults, probably mates. You inspected the male closer, when realization struck you. He was the mighty Toruk Makto you had heard stories about. This made you even more intrigued in the family.

Your eyes traveled to the youngest girl, who was hiding behind her mother. Then to the taller girl who was in the back, looking annoyed about the whole situation. Your eyes then moved on to the boy that was staring at your sister, analyzing him. He looked like a nice guy, and you hoped that, if they ever got together (which you were sure they would), he would treat her right. 

Your eyes then wandered to the taller boy standing next to him, only to find that he was already staring at you. You both blushed and looked away, then looked back at each other simultaneously. You both smiled at this, giving a small wave to each other.

You felt a nudge to your side and you turned to look at your sister, giving you a teasing smirk. You blushed even more, rolling your eyes before looking back at the boy. To say the least, he was handsome. Okay, you found him attractive, your heart beating faster at the thought of him finding you the same way.

You shook your head, thinking 'no! i just saw him today, i shouldn't think that way until i've gotten to know him.' You tuned back into the conversation when your father said.

"Toruk Makto will stay here with us, my daughters Tsireya ad y/n and my son Aonung will show you to your hut. They will teach your children the way of the metkayina clan." 

At this, you and your sister smiled to each other, with you glancing back at the boy from earlier.

MHA OCs

Ok, so I know that MHA series’ end is right around the corner, but I told myself that if I won’t post this now, it might be too late another day. I actually made those characters when manga version of class 1A vs class 1B came out (so I didn’t know about that experiment Chimera guy), I just didn’t want to post it immediately after finishing the pic.

~~~~~~

Runi:

- Younger sister, who basically grew up as only child. Very outgoing, isn’t scared of many scary quirks like Dark Shadow at night, acid, exlosions, etc. That is also why she’s never afraid to talk with Shinso and doesn’t mind, if he forcibly makes her shut up.

- Her quirk doesn’t require any outside sources, but she has wide knowledge about many animals and likes to share fun facts about them. That knlowledge helps her survive and be creative in fight. She can also spit poison like snake, regen quicker like starfish, geeko, etc.

The catch is, that she morphs her body on DNA level, which causes a lot of pain. Currently she’s used to it and that also helps her withstand longer in combat.

[I actually imagined, if during Sports Festival she stood agains Monoma; and after he of course insulted her, she smiled and said “Fine, you want my quirk?! Then come and get it!”, they high-five and as he’s trying to simply morph his hand, he get’s struck by unbearable pain. In the end she won and also menaged to insult his quirk as well.]

- After her “Tami” returns after 13 years of possibly being dead and now working with LoV, Runi got put into bad light by other students. Only Shinso remains by her side, like she did when everyone was scared of him.

- She didn’t have it easy getting and staying in UA, because her parents became very protective after Toshiko dissapeared and didn’t want another child gone.

- Runi called herself as “morphing hero: Chimera”, despite being limited to only one morph type at the time. The ability to mimic multiple animals at once comes after some serious development.

Toshiko:

- Born with her mother’s quirk - healing hands, Toshiko wanted together with her little ”Sunflower” to become support among other heroes. Unfortunately, she was kidnapped at the age of 7 and almost smuggled across the border together with other 10 kids. They were hoping for heroes to save them, but nothing happened. One night one man came in to shut them up, Toshiko had this burning feeling in her eyes from anger and frustration and before she noticed, the man was on the floor choking on his own blood. She led their escape, but later split their ways, somehow trying to find their way home - that night there was only half of Moon visible.

She was wandering around nearby town and stealing to survive - she couldn’t come back with that second quirk, what would she do? Hide it until it will activate on it’s own? Be called “monster”? But one day a woman caught her stealing in the market and instead bringing her to the police, she took her home - to her orphanage.

Turns out it wasn’t JUST an orphanage, kids with promising quirks were training how to fight, improve them and how to steal, when other kids could just play.

- When she returned to her home town, she heard Stain’s message and about that “League of Villains” and wanted to be helpful by saying “City birds breath air from streets, and they sing truth about those in need.”. She develops a bond with others in a different way, but only Dabi is stubborn and refuses to get healed faster. Mr.Compress however understands her often complicated logic and even sometimes flirts with her.

- When she wants to piss off somone, she speaks in ryme and riddles - that is also her way to tease Runi by leaving riddles around the city, which only she can solve (Toshiko had a weird liking in riddles, rymes and miths as a child).

- Everytime she faces Aizawa it’s a f***ing staring contest - who will blink and die first. XD

- Despite how cold and calm she is all the time, she still has this “big sister instinct”, so if you will hurt some innocent children, who were not involved in fight, being her teammate won’t save you.

~~~~~~

For some reason I like Toshiko more than Runi, who I made first. I guess because of her character, you know - you can’t really call her just “bad” or “good” and her grey hair and eyes really imply that. Also the front view on Runi’s face… mmm it should be more round, you know. Kitsune mask design taken from internet.

So that is it, I hope You like it, if not that’s fine.

Have a great day.~ :)

Boruto: Sacrifices [Remade] | Chap.4 - Unwanted

Written by: Eleanor-Devil & @mirage-05​​

Prologue | Chap.1 | Chap.2 | Chap.3 | Chap.4 - You’re here

Nara Shikadai had many reasons to be proud of himself. He had a sharp mind, he was a close-to-excellent shinobi, he was among the two who made it out of his generation as chuunins… There really weren’t many things on earth that would surprise him. Well… at least that was the case until today. The boy opened his eyes a crack when he heard a soft hiss next to his ear. What he saw made him jump awake almost immediately as a startled exclaim left his lips. The white snake’s golden eyes just followed him casually as it hissed once more. Shikadai was quick to realize where (or well, from whom) the snake came from… not that it helped things much. “How did you even get into the house?” he asked, knowing full well this was a stupid question - the animal, as far as he knew, wasn’t a summoning snake after all. The snake did reply anyway, although the voice he was hearing was definitely Mitsuki’s. “Shikadai. Meet me in the training grounds in fifteen minutes. This matter is urgent.”

The boy glanced at the clock. He groaned as he rubbed his eyes, was he even serious now?! “Dammit Mitsuki, it’s way too  early for your shenanigans…” “I have urgent business to take care of before seven thirty,” the snake continued in Mitsuki’s voice. “And I need your help.” The Nara boy sighed, did he even have a choice…? “Man, what a drag…” he mumbled as he kicked the bed sheets away from his body and got up to get dressed. … Suffice it to say that he wasn’t exactly impressed when he arrived at the training grounds in the designated time and… his friend was nowhere to be seen. “Oh come on,” he whined, rolling his eyes before raising his voice. “You know, it’s common courtesy to be at the place of meeting before the person you’re supposed to meet!” “Who said I’m not here?” And with that Mitsuki appeared… hanging upside down from a tree using only his stretched arm, making Shikadai jump. “You really need to stop doing that.” The blue haired boy let out a low chuckle as he dropped to the floor. “I guess old habits do die hard.” “So what’s up, Mitsuki? What is it that you needed to drag me here in the dead of the morning?” And just like that his friend’s face became serious… dead serious. “I will tell, but first I need your word on something. No matter what you see here today, no matter where we go, you won’t tell a soul. Not until I say so.” The black haired boy felt sweat dripping down the side of his cheek - why was he so serious and secretive all of a sudden…? Not that he definitely wasn’t accustomed to this weird behavior of Mitsuki, mainly back from their academy days, but… either with the lingering effects of the clans’ meeting from yesterday or something else, he was suddenly a little on guard. Really, what was it that couldn’t have waited for a better hour of the day? “Mitsuki…” “I will explain everything later. But we need to finish these all before we meet Konohamaru-sensei.” the boy supplied in terms of an explanation. Cautious still, but also curious on what would come out of this… Shikadai finally nodded. “Alright. I won’t tell anyone.” … What the boy didn’t expect to find himself in was a… thrift store. “What… are we doing here?” The shop was nothing big, at least when compared to the newly growing shops all around Konoha. What they specialized in seemed to be handicraft, wooden items, various in shapes and sizes. While they all looked very good and nice, Shikadai was at a loss as to why Mitsuki brought him to this particular shop. “I already made a list of what we should get.” And with that, the blue haired boy handed him a piece of paper. “I’m looking to get the outside decorations done first, and we can find almost everything here.” “Wait - Mitsuki - what decorations…?” Honestly, he was getting more and more confused. Mitsuki cocked his head to a side. “Well, it’s for the party of course.” “The par-” The Nara’s words got cut off when it suddenly clicked in his mind. “Oh…” So that was all this was about? Now he kinda felt embarrassed for doubting Mitsuki… no matter if it was for a small moment… Of course, Boruto’s - and Sarada’s, for that matter - birthdays were right around the corner, just a few more days left. So Mitsuki just wanted to pull a party for them… Suddenly,  he understood why he called him so early. Boruto and Sarada were both known as early birds after all. And suddenly, he was willing to help him. Quickly taking a look at the list in his hand, Shikadai raised an eyebrow. These… were sure some weird decoration ideas. “What… kind of a party are you planning to pull off exactly?” “I’m gonna base it on a movie Boruto said he recently watched.” And now it all started to make sense… he could remember like yesterday how the blond wouldn’t stop talking about the movie. “We should get everything on the list - I want this to be perfect.” “Well, aren’t you enthusiastic?” Shikadai said with a bit of a smirk. Mitsuki had turned his back to go take care of his own list, but he glanced at him over his shoulder. “When I first came to Konoha, they held a great birthday party for me.” Well technically, it was his first with friends, which was why it was so important. “I want to make theirs equally as good. No, even better.” With that, he was off. Shaking his head a little, but his smile still in place, the Nara continued his walk into the shop. It didn’t take him too long to get all the items on the list and head to the counter. By that point, he had already conceded to pay at least half of these - he had some money left from previous jobs and if he had to say, Mitsuki’s enthusiasm was rubbing off. Still, he looked around for his friend before addressing the shop owner. “How much are these?” “Two hundred ryos, young man.” Nodding, Shikadai reached for his wallet, but just then… “Shikadai, check this out.” His friend had sneaked upon him (honestly, that shouldn’t be surprising him by this point), holding up what seemed to be a brightly colored parrot carved out of wood. “Cute,” the Nara said with a small grin. ”What is a pirate without a parrot, right?” “Yup,” Mitsuki said with his usual soft smile. Then he turned to the shop owner. “How much is this?” Shikadai watched his friend’s smile turning into a surprised expression, and turned to the man himself. The man was... well, he was not exactly glaring at the younger boy, but the look in his eyes was so icy that Shikadai felt his insides going cold all of a sudden. It felt like, for some odd reason, the man was not boding anything good for Mitsuki right then and there, who had done nothing at all. Even if he did... he couldn't imagine what could stir such a cold hatred. Instead of answering his friend's question, the man turned completely towards him. "Two hundred ryos, young man." "Uuuh... maybe you didn't hear my friend..." he started. "I want to buy this myself." Mitsuki said excitedly. "I didn't buy either of them a gift yet, though, so if it's cheap-" The man barely looked at the parrot before mumbling, "Four hundred ryos." That was even more shocking. Shikadai glanced at the things he was carrying - there were four pieces, with only one of them being as brightly colored as the  parrot. It was a ridiculous price difference - and something told him that it was not the real price at all. "I could’ve sworn the price is different-" Mitsuki began. "Take it or leave it!" the man snapped, finally turning to face the blue-haired boy, and the furious expression on his face actually made the boy take a step back. Still at a loss of why this was happening, and a little disturbed by how his friend's enthusiasm seemingly suddenly vanished, the black haired boy intervened. "Okay, Mitsuki, why don't you go outside and wait? This will be by me, you can buy him another gift." Mitsuki didn't say anything as he gave the parrot to Shikadai and walked outside the shop. "What was that all about?" he snapped, turning back to the shop-owner. "Do you treat all your customers like that?" "Young man," the man said, eyebrows furrowed. "outsiders are not welcome here." … Shikadai didn’t remember ever getting so angry, and that was saying something, since he rarely got angry. But the shop owner treating Mitsuki like that and calling him an outsider really did the number. He had anticipated - after the meeting especially - that things could turn sour but for even the civilian population to act this way… No, he wouldn’t have it. Maybe he should mention this to his father, certainly he or the Hokage wouldn’t just stand by and let this happen… But… as he looked sideways at Mitsuki, noticing how, despite his smile returning, there was a worrying blank quality in his gaze… the Nara couldn’t help but feel sad that they didn’t really make a good start. “So… what are you planning to do after your training?” he asked, just in an attempt to distract him. “I’m gonna take all the decors to the waterfall,” the blue haired boy answered, without looking at him. “I know it’s still early but the more weathered they look, the better.” And there it was again, his enthusiasm… this was really important to him… “Maybe I should accompany you after the training too…” The black haired boy was suddenly uneasy about what the ninja part of the population would do if the civilians were like this… Mitsuki didn’t say anything for a moment. “It’s alright Shikadai.” “Huh? What’s alright?” “That shop owner. Maybe he was having a bad day. I’m not gonna make a big deal out of it.” “Mitsuki…” honestly, sometimes it was hard not to admire the positivity of this guy… Shikadai wasn’t even sure if he would bring himself to explain to his friend what this was really about… “It’s alright,” Mitsuki said again. By that time, they were in front of his apartment building. “Gimme a minute, won’t you?” “Get the hell out of this village while you still can.” Both Mitsuki and Shikadai turned to the source of the voice. A group of children had gathered in front of the building, arms crossed and very confrontational and aggressive looks on their faces, and… Sarutobi Ichiro in front of all of them. They ranged in ages, but they all seemed to be older than the two. The Nara felt his heart sink as he noticed all of them, without exception, were glaring at his friend. "This is my home, why would I get away?" Mitsuki asked, baffled, and Shikadai resisted the urge to facepalm. Some of the kids who were gathered openly laughed, but Ichiro frowned. "Don't play fool with us. You are no longer welcome here in this neighborhood, you freak." "Actually, make that in Konoha," one of the children piped up maliciously. "Outsider!" one among the crowd shouted, and the kids began chanting the phrase loudly. "Crawl back to your hole, snake!" Mitsuki was trying his hardest to keep his face straight, but it was slowly slipping. He couldn’t exactly explain why but that... hurt. That outsider remark actually hurt. Even when he first moved to Konoha, people never shunned him. Why were they being so aggressive now? “Who do you think you are, calling him an outsider?” Shikadai was at the end of his patience. “He belongs in Konoha as much as any of you!” The sincerity in those words were as fierce as his gaze. “If you really believe that, you are no better than a traitor.” the Sarutobi pretty much snarled. “Just like Lord Seventh, who is too naive to see him for what he is!” With those words, Mitsuki felt something snap inside him, a different kind of rage rising to the surface. “You keep Lord Seventh out of this.” That actually made the older boy take a step back, but he still continued, “Oh yeah, do it… show us the snakes you used for the attack…” With that remark, suddenly Mitsuki realized why exactly this was happening and his eyes went wide, his anger dying all of a sudden, just like that. "Stop it!" came a small voice, breaking in all the tension as everyone turned to the source of it. A small boy... Aito, as Mitsuki remembered his name, was standing a few feet away from them, staring at them with huge eyes. His mother was standing a little further back, shopping bags in her arms, and her eyes... held the same condescending look. "He is such a nice person!" Aito continued. "Why are you being so rude to him?" He took a step forward, as if to go to Mitsuki and Shikadai, but his mother gasped and ran forward to take him in her arms. "You are not going near that snake!" she scolded, terrified. The blue-haired boy felt his heart sink, and he sagged a little as he finally understood everything. "Mitsuki..." Shikadai couldn’t help but hold his breath when Mitsuki turned to look at him. That blank look was back, but if he looked carefully, he could also see the sadness his friend was clearly trying to hide beneath the surface. "Forget about them, let's go in..." he said softly, but firm. His friend just nodded, not being able to say anything. … So it was no wonder that he was absent-minded by the time he showed up for the training. He had hoped it would cause some sort of distraction, as honing his skills always did. “Where have you been?” Sarada asked as soon as she saw him. By the looks of her… the blue haired boy could sense that something wasn’t right… after all, he hadn’t been late for a very long shot. “I had things to take care of at home,” he said evasively, which caused his teammates to look at each other quizzically. “Everything okay?” Boruto asked as he returned to him. Mitsuki figured he apparently wasn’t doing that good a job as he thought he was and pulled himself together. He had decided to keep the mishappenings of the morning to himself, no need to worry his friends over a couple of verbal assaults. “Yup. I’m fine.” “Alright you three, listen up.” Konohamaru came to stand in front of them, and Mitsuki almost did a double take at how serious and, well… grumpy their sensei looked. The jounin, although of course beneath the seriosity of his rank, had always seemed cheerful and a little bit goofy to him after all.  "Today, we're concentrating on taijutsu techniques. As always, we'll start with the basic principles. So can any one of you remind me of the very first principle in hand-to-hand?" "Keep it simple stupid." Sarada piped up immediately. "Good, Sarada. It is indeed useful to keep things simple and effective, as most ninjas view complicated and sophisticated techniques are the best in a taijutsu fight. Because taijutsu, compared to ninjutsu and genjutsu, is considered simple... and weak." "So if someone relies on taijutsu during a fight, it is expected that he should be an expert." Mitsuki said. "Like Lee-san." “True. And while I don’t expect any of you to be as proficient, it’s good to start with your strengths and weaknesses.” It wasn’t exactly a bad comment in and on itself, but the tone in which it was delivered made the three of them frown a little and glance at each other. “Let’s start with you, Boruto.” "Does good-looks count?" Boruto piped in, to which Mitsuki chuckled and Sarada shot him a very disapproving look. Konohamaru's grumpy look took an even darker tone. "Cheek is not gonna help you when you face death." "Wow, Konohamaru sensei, you are such a ray of sunshine today." "Either tell me something useful or keep your quiet." "Geez, just because aunt Hanabi put you in a bad mood, is no reason to take it out on us." the blond mumbled. "What was that?" Boruto sighed inaudibly, and this wasn’t even him deliberately trying to annoy his sensei, he had hoped he would bring a bit of a smile to the adult’s face - which, apparently, was far from happening. "I have the Hyuuga's gentle fist. I would say that's my strongest taijutsu technique." "Good. Sarada?" "My punch. I enhance the power of it by concentrating my chakra in my fist." "Good. Mitsuki?" "My elasticity. I can pretty much do any move." "Good. Now I want all of you... to forget about these." "Huh?" they asked, totally baffled. "Those are your strongest points. Can any one of you tell me what the second most important principle in taijutsu is?" Sarada gasped as she understood. "Make the enemy see your strengths as your weaknesses and your weaknesses as strengths." "That's right. So what I want you to do is... come at me using taijutsu, but not with your strongest techniques. Show me something more, something simple. If you want, you can use some time to come up with a plan. But also remember that..." "Your plan is only as good as its weakest link." Boruto finished his sentence, which finally did the trick and brought a small smile to Konohamaru's face. "Well, it's nice to see you paying attention once in a while." … And so on they went with the training, after a brief grouping to discuss their strategy. But well, to put it mildly, it was hard. Konohamaru was quick and relentless. Five minutes into it, and the three were already either on the ground or leaning against a tree, trying to get it together after what had been their third attempt. Boruto went at it again, this time using one of the techniques he recently developed (on a whim) to approach their sensei; creating two clones to use them as a propeller for a surprise attack. This time, however, instead of using the gentle fist, he made his clones use wind style to get the necessary pushing force, readying a kunai in his hand. It would’ve been a pretty effective attack, but the brunet blocked it pretty easily before pushing Boruto away and into a tree, and without ever breaking his rhythm, turned around to defect Sarada too. Next was Mitsuki. He drew out his kunai and began his attack. Boruto and Sarada, quick on their feet, lost no time to come to his help, and altogether, Team Konohamaru attacked their sensei. Slash, parry, thrust, on and on it went. Seeing an opening, Mitsuki used his extension jutsu, grabbing a low branch of a tree in hopes of gaining some momentum, turning around it and then hit his sensei. Just momentarily though, he saw a brief, weird shot of emotion in Konohamaru’s eyes, one which he couldn’t tell exactly what… and suddenly, there was no branch for him to hold on to, because the brunet had just cut it with the help of an explosive kunai. Losing his balance for just one tiny second, Mitsuki realized it was more than enough as his sensei’s kick connected to his chest, sending him flying away. His teammates were on Konohamaru once again but the jounin was quick to overthrow them. Before Mitsuki could properly raise from where he had fallen, he found himself unable to move and the tip of a kunai against his throat. He was once again looking at his sensei’s dark blue eyes, and now he could understand the emotion in them. It was almost… resentment…and more than that it was almost like he didn’t recognize him at all, it was like he was looking at a stranger... “Konohamaru-sensei…” he murmured, feeling a slight shiver running down his spine. His friends just looked on at the scene, caught too unprepared to say or do something. But his voice had been enough to snap Konohamaru out of whatever trance he had been into. The reproach disappeared from his eyes, turning them once again into the serious gaze of a sensei before he got up off Mitsuki and held his hand out to help him up. “Don’t use your strong points in taijutsu, remember?” he said as he turned to look at Boruto and Sarada, which made Mitsuki feel… well, he didn’t know if that was the right description, but if he was to put it simply, he would’ve said… sad. Was it that even his sensei couldn’t bear to be near him any longer? Still, he pulled himself together and continued the practice like nothing happened. Just doing what he enjoyed the most. But even when he thought he could hide it, it didn’t escape his best friend’s attention, the momentary look that crossed his eyes. "Do you have a plan for the evening?" Boruto asked when they finally called it quits, regarding Mitsuki carefully. "Onii-chan!" All of them turned to see Hinata and Himawari a little far away, Hinata with a warm smile on her face and Boruto's younger sister waving at them. Mitsuki smiled. "I don't. But it seems like you do." Boruto smiled himself as he got up. "Well, talk to you guys tomorrow, then." As Boruto walked away with his sister, Sarada looked at her friend. “Here Mitsuki… I’ll walk with you.” “Huh?” The boy was taken aback a little. “Thank you Sarada, but I’m just going back home. I’m gonna practice some more.” In fact, he intended to go back to the waterfall like he told Shikadai, to set up part of his plan, for which he needed his friends to not intervene. “Hey, couldn’t I want to walk with my friend a little?” the girl said with a genuine smile… not really giving the boy much of a choice, which made him smile at her too, he could always go back out when Sarada was gone. “Alright then, let’s go.” … To say that Sarada wasn’t ready to see what she did was an understatement. Apparently… someone had been pretty busy while they were training. Graffitis, rude words and even some drawings were covering all of Mitsuki's door in bright colors. Two of the drawings stood out the most; one that of a beheaded snake (thankfully, no one thought of adding red paint to that), the other being that of a snake biting its own tail, surrounded by a vivid wall of flames. Under that second drawing was the words, "Konoha's fire will devour snakes". There were words and phrases written all over as well: snake, outsider, traitor, murderer... Sarada's voice brought Mitsuki back to earth. "How... how could anyone be so... cruel...?" And yet… Mitsuki didn’t seem too surprised, the only thing that betrayed his stoic face was a fleeting hurt look that the Uchiha was sure she would’ve missed if she looked away for a second. “Well, I’ll see you later then, Sarada.” Coming to her senses, the girl grabbed her friend’s arm before he took another step. “You’re not going in there!” “I don’t think they’ll set a trap for the door, y’know,” Mitsuki said with a soft laugh that lacked humor. “No one can go that far, and they know these are easily tracked.” “I don’t care!” she sounded a little agitated, how far could anyone go to leave blatant threats to someone else’s door? “You know what, why don’t you come and stay over at my place?” “Sarada,” Mitsuki put his hands on her shoulders. “It’s gonna be alright.” “Don’t say that!” Sarada snapped, breaking free from his grasp. “How can these be alright?! We need to report it!” “We don’t need to. I don’t want to alert everyone  - let alone you or Boruto - for a passing phase.” “A passing-” The Uchiha rubbed her eyes, still seething. This was just unbelievable… “You… I don’t even know what to say…” “But then can I ask for a favor from you?” “What?” When she looked up at his face, the girl noticed there was a determined look on it. “What favor?” Mitsuki took a deep breath. “Tomorrow I want to visit the orphanage.”

Quick Thoughts on The Royal Retcon Book 1 Chapter 11

• You've gotta admit, guys. This series spends more time retconning various aspects of their original story than they do on the actual premise.

• The food fight was wild and chaotic, the background history is always welcome, seeing Jess and Blake was nice and the moonlit hot springs scene was a nice change from everything...but my head is spinning from the constant shifts, okay?

• To avoid seeing my QTs in your dash, blacklist the following tags: #trh quick thoughts, #trh qts, #trh qt reblogs, #long post.

• Title: The Prodigal Father

Alternative: Most Parents in TRR Shouldn't Have Even Been Parents To Begin With

• The last chapter ended with a surprise twist: the return of Barthelemy Beaumont, father of Bertrand and Maxwell Beaumont. We had a lot of questions. Did Bertrand know he wasn't dead? Did Maxwell not know he wasn't dead? What the hell was he doing all these years and why had he left his sons in such a horrible position?

• Turns out the writers may have taken a leaf out from a Hindi serial or something coz - drumrolls - he was in a coma!

• Why do we never hear much about this so-called illness or even have a name put to it. What mysterious illness caused Barthelemy to deteriorate so much that he was trying out miracle cures from quacks and that he ended up in a coma for years? Why were his next of kin not informed when he came out of it or while he was rehabilitating? Why the heck wasn't Maxwell telling his wife this, or Bertrand his girlfriend? There is so much about this plot that doesn't even make sense.

• How does Barthelemy remember Drake from the court days but not Savannah ("Liam and Drake, you're so grown up now! Miss Savannah, you're lovelier than your reputation..."). Somehow he knows what's been said about Savannah and about Hana's accomplishments - wait if he'd been mostly getting his body back in order, how would he know this stuff? Who is telling him this? (Godfrey?? Is that why he's so faux-patriotic around us now??? Is that his real reason for visiting Cordonia only once a year or something?)

•

In Liam and Drake's cases, Barthelemy says the same thing about how Maxwell outdid himself by bringing the MC to the House, and that she has brought prestige to the Beaumonts. It's in Hana's and Maxwell's cases that the dialogue is different. In Maxwell's it's obviously as his daughter-in-law that he greets you, and in Hana's he speaks of now having two "daughters" in his house.

• Barthelemy then gets to the more serious part of his departure - the fact that Bertrand had to shoulder the responsibilities of being Duke earlier because of Barthelemy's condition, and that now Bertrand can relax while his father takes care of things at the estate. Is that care for his son talking...or his desire for control? I'm leaning towards the second.

• I'm pretty sure Bertrand is leaning towards the second because he's looking pretty resistant about this sudden change. His bride-to-be, Savannah, in the meantime, is super happy to meet her father-in-law and son's namesake. Hah. That'll change.

• Maxwell is nervous. Because he wants his father to see how different he is now, and how responsible he has become, but doesn't know what his old man will think. Don't worry, Esther says, plan this smartly and you'll get a new Pictagram follower!

• In any case, Maxwell's friends promise to help him get through this and support him, except for Drake who thinks he can impose limits (like "no singing"), because, yknow. The universe has to revolve around his comfort zone. Must be a Walker trait.

• More Jess and Blake nuggets! You get an option to ask them how they met, and they tell you about the cruise they first worked in (and presumably where Jess' sister met Liam's brother and (optionally) married him) and how they used to butt heads often. Nice RoE nugget, too bad the writers have so far barely even remembered Liam's brother who is from that series!

•

Yeah yeah I know that Kiara is probably back in Castelserraillian like the other courtly ladies (or chilling in a hotel somewhere in Texas), but if they're all supposed to be there for the wedding Savannah might as well have included her. Not only is Savannah a stinky fiancée and a stinky person in general (not a surprise considering her family), she is also a stinky friend.

• I repeat: my MC Esther has done practically nothing for Savannah. Nor has Hana. Why are we such a huge part of her ceremony again when she already had a long-time friend from court who had actually helped her and actually cared?? Only because we're the ones on an extended holiday in her ranch? Then say that - why do you need to make such a long speech about friendship while snubbing the one woman who made a damned effort to help you? (oh...right. I keep forgetting. Kiara is only remembered when people want to use her 😒).

• At the start of the rehearsals, Savannah tells Jess about the horse-riding-to-the-altar tradition, complete with a saddle that's been a family heirloom. Bianca and Leona, apologetically, inform Savannah that they had to sell it. Savannah tries to mask her disappointment, but fails. Barthelemy in the meantime, jumps in, in what he assumes would be "saving the day" (it's not, Bartie Sr. It really isn't)

Bartie...dude...you just got here. You can't already know what'll make your daughter-in-law happy when you've only spoken to her for all of five seconds. Plant your ass at the back of the congregation where it belongs!

• The girl really really wanted that saddle, okay Bartie Sr? Allow her to grieve that lost dream ffs.

• This scene I guess is helpful because while it still places Bartie Sr rather awkwardly in the "father trying to make amends and be caring" category, it gives you an inkling of why that persona doesn't sit so well on him. Bartie Sr may assume that this is something a caring parent does, except that what he's really doing is taking over, making all the attention revolve around him, believing he knows best and not listening to anyone. Even when he's being "nice".

• That saddle is going to come back some way or other, and it's probably going to be a diamond option, for which the free option is Savannah walking down the aisle with Bartie Sr. Eh. She threw a tantrum at my reception so her boyfriend could marry her, I'm not about to get her her dilapidated saddle. She can make do with her crusty father-in-law.

(The other possibility is that [at the end of the chapter] Bertrand left the house to get it or something idk, and it might be free after all. Is it too late to ask for the entire WEDDING to be a diamond option?)

• So this exchange leads us all to the Beaumont brothers remembering their childhood. Maxwell views it all through rose-coloured spectacles, Bertrand has very different memories of that time. Which is such a change from the previous series! I mean, wasn't Bertrand the one who kept going "my father's legacy, my father's legacy", while Maxwell was the one who didn't have very good memories of that time?

I can always imagine that Bertrand's views on his father must have changed when he started taking on the responsibilities of a father himself (thus making him view his childhood as 'not normal'). And Maxwell may well have come to appreciate Bartie Sr once he began taking House responsibilities. But guess who is breaking their heads to make these "connections". Us. Not the writers. Not the team in charge of this story.

• There are two PoVs to this scene: Maxwell's and Bertrand's. Maxwell's is the one that is lighter, funnier, showing us a wilder side of his brother, Bertrand is given the meatier one, with intrigue and a hint of plot.

- We're taken back to when Bertrand's motorbike was just purchased, and the boys choose to take it for a test ride. The Bertrand shown here is kinda similar to the one in the 6-years-ago flashback in Book 1, just...younger and cuter. Apparently in the time that Bertrand was living alone in a house with Maxwell, he aged like an avocado.

- What's with using this team and using the Waverley kids' faces for the Beaumont brothers??

- Young Bertrand and Maxwell don't mind living on the wild side - taking the Cavilieri Novanta 9S on a test drive through different areas in the estate, planning how they'll debut this beauty at the Beaumont Bash and generally making a racket. Bartie Sr scolds them from the window of his office, then asks them to come up and see him there. Bertrand opts to protect little Maxwell from his father's ire by going there alone, and then telling his brother that their father is "very proud" of them. Maxwell doesn't question this (the writers have forgotten that Young Maxwell was perceptive even as a little boy, so I'm not quite buying that he simply accepted what Bertrand said at face value), and jumps instead into planning a logo for their biker jackets (he suggests a kraken and a tiger). They can also opt to have a special kraken-related handshake.

- Bertrand, however, fills in the blanks, speaking to us about what he witnessed at the office, and what actually transpired.

-

This conversation is the point of the whole scene, and is connected to the Young! Drake scene in the sense that Bartie Sr and Godfrey are from the Great Houses that Constantine mentions are opposing the alliance with Auvernal. While they don't tell us what has disappointed these two so much, we do get the idea that they are displeased esp with the Queen because she has somehow convinced Constantine to not agree with what the two are planning so quickly. It's very possible that their frustration with Eleanor might have gotten them involved in some way with her death, but it's also possible that there are other players involved.

- Bertrand does not focus much on this bit because Bertrand is young and his priorities are different. The interesting thing about using these childhood flashbacks for the characters is that we will always get an incomplete picture, if only because the kids' priorities are different, and for them these side discussions will always count as "adult stuff". Big, scary, too complicated to understand.

- We do get a mention of Maxwell's weight (finally!). The writers frame it as Maxwell losing his weight after his mother's death and getting his regular exercise with his brother. This we get to know by Bartie Sr's fat-shaming comment about not wanted to see Maxwell get back to his "wide suits" (Seriously. Fuck this guy).

• Hypocrite alert! Godfrey who treats his perfectionist daughter as a failure just for existing and being a girl, now thinks he can yap about "being too hard" on one's children. Go fuck yourself Godfrey Not Gao (this nickname was brought to you by @callmetippytumbles).

• The bit that's most important to Bertrand is that he tries to pass an overdue bill to his dad, and his father ignores it to concentrate on "bigger" things. Which kinda leads you to believe that the problem existed waaaaay before Bartie Sr started believing in miracle cures for his mysterious illness. In fact I'm pretty sure both those things might be fabricated.

• So that's what Bertrand is trying to tell us. That Bartie Sr expected his sons to understand responsibility when he was not exactly ready to live up to that example himself. It still doesn't make sense though, considering every time Bertrand spoke about Bartie Sr it was as if he had to uphold the same legacy, and everytime Maxwell spoke about him it was to highlight what a disappointment he was to his father...and funny enough they've now switched roles.

• Anyway, Maxwell is now more inclined to believe Bartie Sr has turned a new leaf, while Bertrand is wary. He is not wrong about the controlling aspect though, even when his dad is trying to be nice he's being a controlling ass.

• Hana comes in and comforts Bertrand, in a scene I found pretty touching. She knows plenty about controlling, overbearing parents who expect plenty from her but fail to measure up to the little that she asks of them. I love how she makes the point that, having support or company of any form, works to lessen the pain of that kind of upbringing...and she knows this because she never had it.

• The bonding that takes place between Hana and Bertrand is lovely, although it's marred by the fact that were we going by the original idea of the Beaumont brothers' lives, Maxwell would be the one she'd be comforting.

• Two bits that stood out to me were where Bertrand offered to make up for all those years of disappointment and pain that Hana suffered, by being a sort of stand-in older brother now - and Hana's response to the whole idea of mending bridges:

I love the fact that she says this even as she still maintains her complicated relationship with her mother. It's small but a lot more than she was allowed to say earlier. In Book 3, a lot of what they had Hana say to Lorelai was more for Lorelai's benefit than her own (constantly educating her and telling the family that the most important thing was that they be happy together). Her responses were centered around Lorelai's comfort, not Hana's conflict. At least here, she gets to state (while safely away from her parents) how complicated her relationship with her parents is. I just hope this is not the last time we hear about it.

• It's now time for the rehearsal dinner! Everyone's seated at a pop-up restaurant Blake and Jess have made for the wedding, and includes the courses for the special day. It's bruschetta, a quiche and the wedding cake for dessert.

•

Auntie Bitch I hope you realize that the biggest freeloaders in this house are your own nephew and niece! Drake doesn't have a job until his wedding is over (unless one counts moaning and griping while enjoying shit that his BFF has paid for, his job (oh...wait...maybe that's why "Constantly Complaining Freeloader" was listed as a job description in his Italian Restaurant scene lmao)). The other biggest freeloader is your niece, who didn't mind accepting money from Maxwell and then turned around and acted towards Bertrand like she didn't need his damn money that she was already using.

• Also for the amount of complaining Leona has been doing for her own niece's wedding she might as well have not hosted them at all. You took the responsibility, you made all the guests you were hosting do work for you and spent all your time mocking them for not having the kind of specific skillsets you grew up with. If you wanted to stay alone with your sister in this crusty dilapidated ranch where you probably don't even pay people fairly, you could have told Savannah to go somewhere else. Like Applewood. Or Ramsford idk. You couldn't even save the saddle your niece would have wanted for the wedding, and if that's not a pointer to what a failure you are, Leona, IDK what is. So maybe stop acting like you're better than the nobles and keep quiet.

• Bianca states that she has never depended on the Crown yet somehow left behind both her children whose well-being was largely being maintained from the Crown coffers???

• But also given the response to Liam I have a feeling we might have a flashback from her next chapter. While she doesn't appear as angry as her sister, there is definitely an underlying bitterness there that I think the narrative might explore before we leave Texas. Idk.

• Bartie Sr focuses his attention on us again, insisting that he is like a father figure to us. You can either firmly refuse (my favourite option), express pride in House Beaumont (which pleases Bartie Sr no end) or be polite (in which case Liam lets out a cryptic "how generous of you" aimed at Bartie Sr it one point, showing us that he's not very impressed. Hmm. Hmm.)

• Bartie Sr is being controlling again, complaining that the quiche is not an elegant main course and insisting to Savannah that she try whatever he is demanding for the wedding. He keeps saying "trust me Savannah, you'll love it!" as if he knows her tastes better than she herself does.

• Chuck tries to offer cake, and Bartie Sr in his eagerness to refuse accidentally tosses it over on Leona's clothes.

• That's kiiind of a breaking point with Leona, and to sum it all up, THIS happens:

Jess has seen and participated in utter chaos, okay. So for her to appear all flummoxed and say "it was...a lot", it really, really has to be a lot.

• My favourite parts have to be Hana and Liam thoroughly enjoying the food fight and finding it cathartic, because they're the two who most need to channel their repressed energies into that kind of catharsis. Drake and Maxwell don't feel this need as much as they do because they already have ways and opportunities to channel it.

• The fight allows both the nobles and the Walkers to meet on common ground - common enough ground that Bertrand can (if we choose) finally tell his father that he and Savannah can manage their own wedding, thank you very much.

• Funny how Bertrand is expected to stand up to his father and ensure that what Savannah wants is not ignored, yet Savannah herself never makes even a quarter of the effort that he does, in making Bertrand comfortable in her home. Why does Bertrand have to do all the work in this relationship? Why do I only see Savannah complaining when Bertrand is not doing things exactly as she wants them to be done, yet not even lifting a finger when he's the one who needs the help and reassurance? Perhaps the best option is if he becomes runaway groom.

• We get to give one (1) solitary fuck about the country we're leading when we're back in the bedroom after this whole skirmish has gone down.

• LI diamond scene! At a moonlit hot spring nearby. The scenes mostly include the mandatory admiration for the lingerie, awe at the scenery and once the sex is done, an exploration into family and children from the would-be parents.

Liam: Calls the MC a "twilight goddess fit for worship" as soon as he sees her with her lacy lingerie in the moonlight. If you've done those scenes, there's a mention of the Forgotten Falls and the Blue Grotto and how Liam has a penchant for whisking the MC away to secluded watery places. (Liam also mentions finding a matching pearl to the first one they got at the Blue Grotto, even though the writers have practically forgotten what has happened to that first one 🙄).

The MC can choose to either go fast or slow in the love scene, and afterwards, Liam wonders aloud whether all families are complicated. The MC can counter this, by telling Liam they can ensure their child never gets to the point that Bertrand or Hana have by ensuring the child has their space to be open about how they feel.

Caption: Spring Fling

Hana: The two women mostly admire each other in silence (Hana tells the MC she would simply like to look at her as the MC gives a twirl) and the MC suggests expanding the "sample size" of Hana's lingerie because Hana in the moonlight is a vision. Hana offers to massage the MC's shoulders, and speaks about wanting to get away from the chaos and check in on her. Hana wants to take as much of their alone time as possible to check if the MC is doing okay, which IMO is her way of maintaining a relationship - by giving her partner space to talk about how they feel, something she rarely had the opportunity to do. She also admits to how exhilarating the food fight was. Hana is playful and teasing in her love scene, and brings the MC to the point where she will beg for more.

Once they are done, the two speak about how being in this place is like being in a fairytale, and there's a particularly lovely line nestled in this bit:

I wished for storybooks with scenes just like this as a kid. Not ones where the princess got rescued by the prince or the knight...but where she found love and happiness on her own...and the freedom to embrace them.

It's...it's so beautiful 😭

Caption: Woodland Nymphs

Maxwell: Now obviously Maxwell has the most personal experience among the four this time, since it's his father that returned home, and it's his family that is now dealing with some tough, complicated questions. Some of that shows in this scene. It begins with Maxwell seeing the MC in her lingerie and confession he almost forgot she had them...which is a good thing otherwise he would never be able to concentrate on anything else. He speaks to her about all the things he loves about her and about their relationship - especially how much they make each other laugh. Underwater, the two let go of their restraint and make love with abandon.

The conversation that follows is the most important, exploring Maxwell's feelings about his father's return. He doesn't have a lot of memories of his father - most of it was from when he was very young, or from Bertrand's eyes. Maxwell is very happy that Bartie Sr has returned, and wants him to see how happy he is with the MC. He speaks of wanting to tell him about the social season, about marrying the MC, about his bestseller book. There is a cute bit where the MC asks whether he would tell Bartie Sr about the hippo tattoo and Maxwell seems almost terrified by that option. But overall, there is nervousness in his scene, and also hope. He definitely is invested in making his old man proud. Proving himself has always been a theme with Maxwell, and that need possibly will increase with the arrival of his father.

Drake: Calls the MC in her lingerie in the moonlight, "art that should be in a museum". The two admire each other in their new lingerie, and then admire the scenery. Drake has brought the MC to the hot spring mostly because it was rumoured to be called "Makeout Point", and he's always been curious to see what the big deal was. The MC can point out the beauty and romantic potential of the area, mentioning that she can imagine a sixteen year old swooning if her high school sweetheart brought her there, "or a duchess, if her marshmallow brought her here". During the love scene, Drake likens her to a siren, the sex can either be rough or gentle and the MC can either take control or allow him to.

Towards the end, the two talk wonder how their child might be, who they would resemble. There's a bit of banter back and forth about how the world is not ready for their collective sass 😄 I think because Drake is the most comfortable with his own family now, that his conversations with the MC about family focus largely on his memories of good times, and on what their child will be like.

• Why the hell are you guys ruining all that nice lingerie in water!!!

• After a few days, and presumably on the day of the wedding, Savannah comes to us, shocked and worried, telling us that Bertrand is gone. This could be either a fakeout leading to him trying to get something nice and romantic done for her, or his insecurities cropping up IDK.

• General Thoughts:

- As much as I'd LOVE for the twist to be that Bertrand has realized this marriage will never work and has called it all off, I know for a fact they won't let that happen. Either his insecurities have come to a head with Bartholemy's return and he needs time to clear his head, or he's gone all heroic and tried to get Savannah's saddle for her, which we then have to pay diamonds to retrieve.

- Some way or the other that saddle is going to feature.

- They'll have Bertrand do something heroic I guess so that Leona will FINALLY stop being a whiny asshole. And Savannah as usual? Will not even lift her little finger.

- I'm more worried about what Bartie Sr will be upto once he's back at Ramsford estate! Esp given that his controlling has already begun at an event as innocuous as a wedding. ALSO given that this man will be back in Cordonia!!

- We're obviously going to get more hints about our pregnancy in the coming chapter, that I'm sure we'll ignore coz we don't want to jump into conclusions like the last time.

- Hana's bonding scene with Bertrand reminds me a little of a scene in Book 2, where she speaks of how Bertrand reminds her a little of her father...in, like, a good way.

- If it turns out that Godfrey and Barthelemy were indeed involved in Eleanor's death, it will be the ultimate irony. It would mean that the present occupants of the duchies that were once undermining the Crown...are now their stanchest allies. Lucretia and Olivia's parents vs Olivia, Godfrey vs Madeleine, and Bartie Sr vs Bertrand and Maxwell. It would be a nice contrast.

- Istg if they try and make HAKIM AND JOELLE suspicious too I will literally throw hands 😡

- Jesus, the amount of retconning going on in this book. That scene would have lost nothing by making Bertrand the guy who was desperate to prove himself to his father and Maxwell the one who had mixed feelings. Having both of them overhear that conversation rather than one would have been fine too. But this is one in a looooooong list of things that the team is shifting around, believing no one will notice. Maybe I should just call this series The Royal Retcon from now on because there is more of that happening than actual babymaking!!

- I'm pretty intrigued by Liam's lukewarm reaction to Bartie Sr personally. What does he know. Why doesn't Liam tell me and why doesn't the MC ask!!

- Bartie Sr spends surprisingly little time with his own namesake, but perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised since Junior's own parents are hardly seen with him either.

- Next chapter is the wedding (if we can find the groom, that is), Savannah getting her dream entry (possibly if we pay the diamonds) and hints that we may be pregnant that will culminate in the big reveal at the end. Yay?

- I know I haven't gotten out a QT for Book 1 in two weeks but those past two weeks have been filled with lots of IRL stuff. Hopefully I'll get back to that soon.

- Until next week, folks!

Friendship for $400 || Chil

the-name-is-chip​:

.

Oh! Gil had a foster family too?

He couldn’t remember if he’d already read that but it felt like new news, and the kind of news that made Chip wanna scooch closer on the couch to talk more about it. He hadn’t realized that there was this connection, you know? Maybe he was way more like Gil than he thought. Maybe Gil had once sat on the other side of a couch like this, chatting to another agent about their experience, wanting to learn, absorbing everything he could. Gil could have had a Gil. 

Which means one day Chip could grow up and become a Gil himself. Someone cool and– and– smart and– cool–

A role model. 

Chip kept it chill on the outside though. Living with Gil as long as he had, he still respected that the guy was on the private side. He probably would get up and leave if Chip tried to prod too much. “Oh wow, that’s really cool,” he said, nodding as he contained his excitement. “Do you uh, remember some of the first missions you worked on then? Amsterdam’s got a pretty good magick population, right?” 

--

“Well the first was mostly paperwork,” Gil said, recalling his younger days. He’d been antsy, wanting to do something that wasn’t the Academy’s routine missions for students and interns. And his instructors recognized this — and told him that he had to learn to be patient. That rushing through essentials could be the difference between life and death. “And then I would shadow agents who worked with some charges, see that side of it. I did not do anything particularly in-depth till my intern year.” He racked his  brain, trying to remember. It had been so long ago, it felt like. 

“Ah yes — we got word of a ship smuggling some Magicks. I was just supposed to be backup and doing surveillance, but there was a whole tank of selkies and they needed me to help with that.”

And… that’s when he started getting pigeonholed to help with merpeople-related missions. They did tend to overlap with Gil’s ultimate goal of tracking down the Scarlet Eyes and the poaching cartel who slaughtered his family, but it also meant that sometimes he was stuck in a small English town.

“Oh —” He turned back to the screen, when Alex Trebeck read a question he knew the answer to. “That’s Dr. Seuss.”

[lovely-angst]

YOU WANT AN ANGST REQUEST!? I'LL GIVE YOU ONE!? READER LISTENS TO SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE INTERPRETED AS CHEATING BUT IT REALLY WASN'T!? BUT SHE JUST DOESN'T COME BACK OR SOMETHING? LIKE SHE LEAVES AND (oh god i need to chil) eventually he finds her and explains? but like.. SUPER angsty at the beginning! with iwaizumi, oikawa or bokuto! you decide ^^

I tried to make this angsty, but it didn’t turn out like I hoped, lol.

I’m just gonna write for Iwaizumi and Oikawa since it got kinda long, sorry!

Iwaizumi

You both are in adults in here

“Hey Hajime, how was your workout?” You greeted as he entered through the doors of your shared apartment. “Tough, I liked it.” He chuckled and you smiled at him from your spot on the couch. 

“You’re looking great babe~” You compliment as his ears turn red from the sudden praise. Looking away shyly, he thanks you before heading off to shower to remove all the sweat from his tired body.

Getting up onto your feet, you reach for Iwaizumi’s items he tossed on the floor earlier and brought them over towards the bedroom for him. As you were setting his stuff away or throwing his dirty clothes into the hamper, his phone vibrated and you couldn’t help but peek over.

From: Hitomi

‘Great workout today! Can’t wait for tomorrow!’

Furrowing your brows, you looked at the name closer. “Hitomi? That’s a girl name.” You didn’t want to jump to conclusions right away because you knew Iwaizumi wouldn’t cheat on you, but you couldn’t stop your mind from wandering.

A few minutes passed and you heard Iwaizumi exiting the bathroom, running over to the other side, you pretended not to have evidence of anything that had just happened. 

Walking into the room, he had a towel on his fresh shower hair and noticed his phone right away. As you watched him reply to the text, you decided to subtly ask.

“Oh, are you texting Oikawa?” Iwaizumi shook his head and set his phone down after he finished, “Nah, just a friend.” Nodding at him, you turned back around and continued to set his stuff away, “Oh.”

You knew it was bad to follow him to the gym, but you couldn’t help yourself after reading that text message. 

Walking into the gym, you hid behind a wall and watched as he approached a female, all suited in workout clothing, looking all nice and everything. Frowning with narrowed eyes, you watched as she gave him a hug before the two walked off to work out together. 

Just as you were about to turn around and leave, your eyes caught sight of them at the squatting station; ho he was positioned behind her while she stuck out that butt of hers. 

Furious, you exited the gym with clenched fists and instead of walking to the apartment, you took a detour to a different place.

“(Name), I’m home.” Iwaizumi called out as he took his shoes off at the door. He noticed that all the lights were off and no response was heard. “(Name)?”

Thinking that you might’ve fallen asleep or went out to run some errands, he took a shower and cooked a meal for himself, but after a few hours, you still weren’t back. 

He sent a text a few hours ago too, but you still didn’t reply. Dialing your number, he waited for you to pick up, but you didn’t. 

Now he was starting to get nervous.

The sun was setting and he had no information on where you were at. Putting matters into his own hands, he went out and looked for you. 

He checked at Oikawa’s place because for some reason you would always go there, but you weren’t this time. He checked at your favorite cafes or date locations, but you weren’t there either.

Finally, he found himself at the front gates of Aoba Johsai high school and noticed your figure standing there, looking over at the building. 

“(Name)!” Iwaizumi yelled running over to you. Looking over at him, he immediately pulled you into his chest, “Why didn’t you answer any of my calls or texts? I was so worried!” He scolded.

Letting out a sigh, you stepped back from him, “Can you be honest with me Hajime?” Raising a brow, he nodded, “Sure?”

“Are you cheating on me?” You asked, looking up at him, hands clenched beside you. Iwaizumi let out a confused chuckle, “No, why would you think that?”

“I saw your messages with that Hitomi girl and I saw the two of you at the gym, really close together.” You confessed, holding your hands tightly together as you looked down at the floor. 

“Hitomi? (Name), I’m a physical trainer and she just happens to be the girl I’m training. There’s nothing more between us.” Iwaizumi answers, crossing his arms. “Are you lying to me?” 

“No! Why would I? We’re dating (Name), you know that.” Sighing, you walk into his chest and wrap your arms around him, “I’m sorry Hajime. I keep doing this to you.” 

“I’m just glad you’re safe. Let’s head home and get you warmed up first.“

Oikawa

“But don’t let my girlfriend know.” Oikawa says quietly to a younger female as she nods and lets out a giggle, “I won’t! See you later!” 

You hid behind the wall quietly as you looked down full of hurt and betrayal, how could he do this to you? Shaking your head, you walked off in the opposite direction, hurt.

Throughout the whole school day, you’d see Oikawa with that first year, always talking and laughing. He thought you didn’t know anything, but you knew plenty.

You should’ve known he wouldn’t stick with you, he’s the most attractive guy in school and you were just a student. 

“He doesn’t need me, he wants that first year.” You spent the rest of the day throwing insults at yourself until it was finally time to go home. You saw Oikawa ran your direction and you wanted to yell and scream, but you held it in.

“Wait for me after practice? I want to walk you home.” You hated how he coated his words with sugar, how he was trying to act loving to you when he honestly wasn;t in love with you.

“Sure,” you reply back a little harsher than you’d like. “Are you okay (Name)?” He asks, reaching out for your hand, but you pull away, “I’m just a little sick.” Kissing you on the head, he smiles and walks off toward practice, “Feel better love!”

Frowning as he turns the corner, you ignore his words and continue to walk home. Seeing Iwaizumi walking towards the gym, you call out his name to stop him, “What is it (Name)?” He asks as you walk towards him with a frown. 

“Tell Oikawa I’m going home early because I’m sick.” Iwaizumi nods and wishes you better as you both go on your own way.

You were mad at Oikawa, but you loved him so much it hurt. How were you going to deal with losing him? 

Oikawa was happy, giddy as he to that first year, she had so much to offer and he couldn’t help but accept them all. He didn’t want to tell you because he knew you were going to be upset so he waited for the right time.

When practice ended, Iwaizumi walked over to him, “(Name) said she’s going home early because she’s sick. I wonder why she told me and not you..”

“What? When did she tell you this?” Oikawa questioned. “Right before practice began.”

He wasted no time in running over to your house, but as he reached it, you weren’t home. His head was running miles and hour and he didn’t know where you were or if you were safe or not.

Just as he was about to pull his phone out and dial your number, your soft voice pulled him out of his trance, “Tooru?”

Looking at the bottom of the stairs, you stood there with two full plastic bags in your hands, “What are you doing here?” 

Running down, he gave you a big hug, “Iwa-chan told me you went home early! Why didn’t you tell me?” He whined as you shrugged, “You were in a rush.”

“Let’s go inside, there’s something I need to tell you.” Looking up at his brown orbs, you turned away as you opened the door to the house and set your items down on the kitchen floor. “What did you want to tell me?”

“I’ve been keeping something a secret from you, and I finally want to tell you,” Oikawa confesses as he sits down on the couch. Shaking your head, you sit in front of him, “No, I know already. I know you like that first year, I see the two of you everywhere at school, it’s no secret. I know I wasn’t good enough I just-”

“What? No! That’s not it! I don’t like that first year!” Oikawa cuts you off as he looks at you shocked, “And you are too good for me, stop bring yourself down.” 

You narrow your eyes at him with a confused face, “B-But what about when you told her not to tell me anything? You said, don’t let my girlfriend know.” Oikawa gave you a sheepish smile as he rubbed the back of his head.

“I asked her for help to make you a gift, here.” Reaching into his school bag, he pulled out a scrapbook with a little card. “I ran past the scrapbook club and I thought that it would be a cool gift to give you so I ran into a member of the hall and I asked if she could help me make one for you. It was a surprise so I asked her not to tell you.”

You looked down at the book in guilt for thinking he was cheating on you this whole time. “Tooru, I’m sorry for jumping to conclusions. Thank you for this book, by the way, you must’ve spent a lot of time into making this.” 

“I just wanted to do something for you,” He replied with a smile as he watched you flip through the pages. you smiled at all the pictures he had of the two of you, he really did love you. 

Setting the book down on the coffee table in front of the two of you, you walked over and gave him a big hug, “I love it, thank you.”

Criminal Minds: One...two...three...four

“*gasp* Everything...hurts *gasp*”, said Reid as he clutched his chest. JJ was sat beside him, cradling his head.

“Hey, it’s okay” she whispered as she stroked Reid’s hair. 

Reid took some more gasps. “Let’s not beat ar... around the bush. We all know how th...this ends. *gasp* We work for the FBI...the BAU. We ha...have se..seen thi...this befo...re. We know the out...outcome”. JJ rubbed Reid’s cheek.

“Spence” she said. “Don’t talk like that. You’re going to be fine. You’ve been stabbed before and you’ve survived”. Reid took even more gasps and groaned.

“That’s true *gasp* bu... but there are so...some maj...major fac... tors that pro... prove the outcome *gasp* will be diff... differ...ent thi...this time” said Reid, each gasp getting bigger.

“Spence” said JJ. She placed her hand upon Reid’s and pressed down. 

“*gasp* Outcome...*gasp* factor number one. *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* The blade went right through me. My back is so...so...so...soaked with bl... blo...blood *gasp* said Reid, still clutching his chest: he was trying to stem the bleeding. JJ rubbed Reid’s hand.

“Hey, you need to keep your strength. The medic will be here soon” whispered JJ, trying to hold back her tears. Reid breathed even deeper.

“*gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* Factor number t... two. I've got blood coming from my *gasp* mouth trickling down my chin dripping on...on...onto m...my t... top *gasp* *gasp* *gasp*” wheezed Reid, as he tried to catch his breath. 

“So?” questioned JJ. “That doesn’t mean anything. 

“*gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* Fa...fac... factor num... number th...thr...factor number three. *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* My breathing is get...getting s...so sh... shal...so shallow and it's taking me so...so...so...mu...much ef...ef...effort t...to *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* just to *gasp* *gasp* ke...keep m...my eyeli...lids ope...open *gasp* *gasp*” panted Reid. JJ could see Reid slipping away in front of her. She placed her finger on Reid’s lips.

“Then save your effort” inquired JJ. “Spence, you don’t need to keep talking”. Reid tilted his head so he could look at JJ properly.

“I...it...*gasp*...it...giv...gives...it give me...some...someth...something el... else t...to do some...thing...else...to...th...think..a...ab...about. *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* Instead of *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* wh... wha...what is happ...happ…happen…ning *gasp* *gasp* *gasp*” replied Reid. He was feeling very weak but he didn’t want JJ to know as he didn’t want to upset her. 

“What’s happening is, we are waiting for the medic and they’re going to come and you’re going to be fine” assured JJ as she wiped her eye with her sleeve. Reid smiled at JJ.

“I love you... you know th...that ri...right?” he whispered. “*gasp* *gasp* *gasp* An... and... thank...thank you fo... for giv...giving m...me t...two beau...ti...ful god...god...god chil...dren”. JJ smiled back at Reid. A tear slowly left her eye and trickled down her cheek.

“You're more than welcome” she replied. “And hey, you'll return the favour one day, hopefully” she continued. “When you meet someone. That special someone and you get married and have beautiful, tiny, little Spencer Reids running around”. Reid started to close his eyes so JJ shook him.

“I have *gasp* always wanted that” chirped Reid. He took some more gasps. JJ looked around. She was wondering where the medics were. 

“There's someone out there for you, Spence” voiced JJ. Reid moved his eyes so they were locked onto JJ’s. 

“Do you remember Maeve?” said Reid. JJ was perplexed. 

“Of course, I remember her” she replied. 

“I had a dream *gasp* about her once” uttered Reid. He began to smile again. 

“Spence...”

“*gasp* *gasp* *gasp* I was in church and you were there and *gasp* *gasp* Hotch an...and Ro... Rossi and um...*gasp* Emi...Emily and Alex and everyone” recalled Reid. “It was weird. Everyone was there. Even Gideon *gasp* *gasp* and my mu...mum. She was...they were all there and… Ma...Mae...”

“Ssh. You need to keep your strength” begged JJ. She wanted to just tape his mouth shut as she knew which each word, with each breath, Reid grew frailer. 

“*gasp* *gasp* Maeve’s parents were there” revealed Reid. “*gasp* *gasp* An...and it...was quiet. It... was ...so ...quiet and then...the do...doors open...opened an...and we all turn...turned ar... around *gasp* *gasp* and this beau...stunni...stunning fig... figure started walking towards me. It was so lovely *gasp* *gasp* *gasp*”. No sooner had he finished this sentence, Reid fell unconscious. JJ shook Reid, in an attempt to wake him back up. Reid gasps and opens his eyes. 

“Spence? What was she wearing?” asked JJ. She figured out if he was talking, he was conscious. So, she decided to keep him talking until the paramedics arrived. 

“Such a pretty dress. It was just right, you know?” replied Reid. “It wasn't over the top *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* and she walked so ele...gantly. She had a veil cov...cover... covering her fa...face *gasp* *gasp*”.JJ’s bottom lip started to quiver.

“Well” she stated. “That’ll happen for real, one day. Except for the Gideon and Maeve’s parents because...you know”. JJ pressed her lips together tightly and gave Reid another smile. Only this time, it was the kind of smile where you can tell it is hiding sadness. Reid started to shake.

“*gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* She stood next to me and I ... li... lift...I... oh...I…it is...s...so…co... cold...it is *gasp* so cold” spluttered Reid. He was trying to wrap himself into a ball to keep warm. JJ took off her coat and placed it over Reid. “Wha...What are you doing? asked Reid. “You need this”.

“I’m not the one shivering” explained JJ. “Now, you lifted the veil and...?”.

“She didn’t have a face” stated Reid. JJ was confused.

“What?” she asked.

“She didn’t have a fa...face” repeated Reid. He started to close his eyes again so, once more, JJ shook him to keep him awake.

“Stay with me, Spence” she pleaded. She was wondering where the paramedics where, as even though she refused to acknowledge it, Reid was running out of time. 

“I had this dream before I met her” continued Reid. “Before the warehouse incident. I had this dream th...the...the ni...night be...before I... I was...due t…to me...meet he…her *gasp* *gasp* *gasp* in the...caf...rest...foody place. *gasp* *gasp* She looked so pretty. Even without a face, which sounds strange *gasp* *gasp*”. Just then, sirens could be heard outside. JJ shot up and headed to the window. She looked outside.

“They’re here!” she exclaimed. “Can you hear them? The medics? They’re here. Spence?”. Reid had fallen unconscious for a fourth time, while JJ had been looking out the window. She shook him, just like before. Only this time? He didn’t wake up. “Spence?” said JJ. “No. No. No. No. Please.” JJ kept shaking Reid but nothing happened. She checked for a pulse. 

“Hello, how long has he been like this?”. JJ looked up and there, stood in front of her, were two male medics. Another medic, a female, had crouched down next to Reid. JJ wiped her face.

“Um, he was conscious not that long ago” replied JJ. The female medic checked Reid’s vital signs. 

“Did he have a pulse when he fell unconscious?” asked the female medic.

“Yes, a weak one” replied JJ.

“Good, right. That’s still there. Hello there Dr Reid. My name is Casey” informed the female medic. She grabbed Reid’s hand and gave it a squeeze. “Can you squeeze my hand, Dr Reid?”. Reid gave a tiny squeeze. Casey turned to one of the male medics. “Can you get the stretcher ready, Stephen?”. She turned back to Reid. “Can you squeeze again, a bit tighter this time”. Reid squeezed again but it was weaker than before. “Frank, keep an eye on him. I am going to help Stephen”. Casey got up and headed over to the male medic who was wrestling with the stretcher. She turned to JJ. “He’s responding nicely”. Casey placed her hand on the stretcher, when suddenly Frank shouted.

“Stop”. Casey turned around. “Just stop”.

“Why?” asked Casey. Frank stood up. He looked down and took a deep breath.

“He doesn’t have a pulse anymore”. JJ gasped in shock and placed her hand over her mouth. Casey put the stretcher down.

“No, you’re wrong” protested Casey.

Frank turned to JJ. “I’m sorry” he said. Casey grabbed Frank and turned him back so he was facing her.

“You’re wrong” she repeated. “I just checked him”. Frank placed his hands onto Casey’s biceps. 

“When you checked him, he had a weak pulse” he explained. “Now, he has no pulse”. Casey shrugged Frank off and headed over to Reid. 

“You’re wrong” she asserted as she crouched down next to Reid. Frank walked over.

“Look at him” he shouted. “His lips are blue. His skin is like ice”. Casey stood up and turned to Stephen.

“Stephen?” questioned Casey. “Get the defibrillator ready please”. Frank shook his head.

“Case?” he whispered. “He’s gone”. JJ was attempting to find Hotch's number in her phone but her tears were making it difficult to see. Casey took a deep breath and looked at Frank.

“I know this guy” revealed Casey. “He helped me when I was younger. I owe him. He’s the reason I became a paramedic”. She wiped away a tear. “I couldn't get into the BAU. Being a medic was the next best thing. To help people”. Casey clambered on top of Reid and started CPR. “So, I’m sure as well not about to let him down”. Frank walked over to JJ and comforted her. “Stephen?” called Casey. “Get the defibrillator ready”. One, two, three, four...”. Stephen walked over and placed the defibrillator next to Casey. “Okay, charging...and clear”. Nothing happened. “One, two, three, four”. “Charging... and clear”.  “One, two, three, four”. “Charging...and clear”. “One, two, three, four...”.

Clone Wars        Slaves of the Republic

Chil-dren

     Children are slaves

     Contin        -uing          on,                  That’s            Kin             da-

     Narrator

  (smarter than Anakin)

   It hasn’t been for several years           though right?

  Z-y      ger-i         a-  

  Seriously         you guys co -exist       and have a giant council,

    How did no one       notice this shit?

   Also if they’re         Sep-ar            Tist-             -      they have a   govern     -ment-

   So, is this some kind of   iron   curtain?

  Se-      riously?        -         How?

Also why is     Rex       or Cody?      —       Okay, seriously what is up with the    uniform?          -        Where’d you even get that from?

    There’s one dude,

   And if it was from like a secret         stash of disguises?

    Wouldn’t that be          several years          out of date?

   Like,      What?           -        You’re better off not doing the    dis-guises

    Also, geez a lot of assumptions like one       extremist made a claim and now the whole planet has the       burn           ...     Like seriously it’s in      char-        acter,

   But this means Obi-Wan was only agreeing with her because he knows her personally

    (’Her’ being            Man-             dal             Or              Ia             N       Duchess,’)

   Those are    ships

   What- music-

    Why?

 The music is just      nope,

   Bor        der-        Ing-          On-         .        Seriously     why is he here?           .          What is with the          clothing ?

       Why?

        Seriously, how is that going to           fool anyone,

         They’re-

       I don’t like the lack of logic            already in this episode,

  Why?

  ‘you’ll be so distracted by that she won’t notice that we completely invaded her kingdom wearing the uniform (possibly 10 years out of date) of her guard and do not at all look like a species

        Or anyone     she hi       -re         -d

     (And somehow     won’t get stabbed to death)

  Oh, 

   And       Ahsoka,

   Sl-ave

    Y-eah,

    Also why is       she wearing face coverings?

   Like, didn’t seem to be a       custom?

    Odd         Dis         guise

    (I guess anything covering features would         give her less of a chance of being           recognized)

      (Yeah but you know more about the emotions involved,             And probably would be better acting at it)

           Ma-ster

             No,

           Damn      she just scorch     ed his teaching

         Boomers,             Don’t know                  shit

            Why is it                  blue?

            Why is there a               dragon thing?                     -  

I don’t know     Ah-soka why don’t you ask the     clone you’re work      -ing with,              Or remember how they raised you for the sole purpose of serving their system

     Fighting for it

      This

  Oh great   did she tell you that information  ?

    (Instead of         y’know        fixing the damn problem,”

       Yeah,            Sucks,

      Oh they actually        brought that up,

     Okay, I deduct that point           (Slight               ly,)                -                Invit            -ation                  -                 Fair

          Brig              -and

         Again what makes them think that this is anything more than an        extremist ?

        Like, how is that        important?

       Halt,

     What,

     That          thi-ng,                ?

        Again           what?

           ?

   Also yeah the uniforms look      significantly different?

       That mean              anything?

        Again

        Oh, so those            birds are native ?

        Or, Other            Wise-

       Se-        riously           what?

       Not exactly how         attraction works,           Which I think is          what they were trying to             imply there,

      There needed to be more of a       look over-              Or                Him      taking off his hat               (For that                gasp reaction,)

            Also yeah        a newly minted slave would totally                   bow,                      To their oppressor,

               That’s                   something Anakin,                  should be doing,

               Ah, did you not send from                        your-self?                          That would’ve been more of a rea-lis-      tic scene for        the drinks line,

     Ha-           tred             -          Yeah no this is a really bad       job,

     Yeah, there’s no way       she’s falling for this,

  ‘This is he      he’s cute so I’ll play along,

      There’s, no other way this     isn’t ending with a dagger to a neck,

      Wa- rrior

      Oh she’s      talking about Ana                             -kin

  Stock,

  Again he literally sent you the    whole population of the planet,

   So, I don’t think he was that       specific,

   You know   it’s a good thing         Ahsoka’s as an adult            Because this would be highly      disturbing with any other      alternative..

   Also I guess that kind of makes sense as           the shock wearing off 

     but she definitely wouldn’t be that wild,

     Mo-

     Pro-cessed

    Yeah there’s      no way lady is falling for this,

    That’s     got dragged into it        temperament,

     Point,          It’s           Not-

     It’s         not          fitting        ‘ I know you’re         bull-     shitting me,”

    Her,

  Yeah there’s      no way,      she’s falling for this,

   (Anyone   would probably have a let’s see      where this leads,

   This-            Isn’t             It-

      You know this flir-            ting is better than anything that happens with    Padme-

       Like     it’s at least got the tone       -right

     Good

       But also no

      She’s significantly older than him and...  toxic,

       I’m going with     tox        -ic          -         Also- yeah 

   Anakin is definitely a lot better       at this-

 Ah-       soka          -            Not          even bothering        with it,

      Ai

         Again,       Why is this so much better than anything with       Pad-me,

  Like it’s toxic          -     but it holds them both accountable,

  Generally a lot      better writt          -en

   (Hopefully they were going for they don’t actually love each other      they just like breaking the rul-es)

   Because-       I can’t see it as any       -thing          else          Now,

   (Or even then,)

     Da-          Mn-

  W-e

  Yeah dude      it’s clear that she’s faking,

   What’s a        Hutt?

   Mm

  What?

  Also yeah no one questioned them about their     human appearance-

   Why-

 Ob-vious

  Also, yeah what are they even doing     bury-ing them alive,

         Why-

        Obi-Wan acts a lot more sus instead of just staying down in the pit with him under the guise of screwing with a prisoner

        Also yeah      I can’t blame him,

           She’s an adult

  Bru-tal

     Tox          -ic

       Also,           You          figured out the price between you two                That   should be     a lot more dramatic,

     They’re adults.

       Gi-

       Also yeah        no way she’s falling for that           -                 Also yeah   where did his name come from?            -          Like did they give an           alias at some point?           -         Cause is Lars just seems to come out of the air-

   [they told them that they knew said dude, Anakin talked with the queen but I can’t- but he didn’t mention her name-

      Me

     Again this is pretty good 

   though the tone did drop there a little,

   She’s        screwing with him-

     Yeah,          I’d be worried about him drinking the Kool-Aid right about now         too

     [he already drank the Generational Overstep one           ]

    We-ll

   P-

  Holo-

  What       -       Sl-        aves        -       Uhm,

   Sucks          . .      that he decided to enable that shitty system

    Accoun-    tability is always better,

    But if he dies the system of his        own making it his own fault,

      ?

      -  also yeah     now we’re sussing out the human targets,

         Ye-ah

 Yeah       no she’s definitely fucking with them,

   Also you’re telling me they didn’t notice him from the       white republic ass       robes?

      (Or did they just          give that to him?)

     Sub-mission

     Yes      she’s right,

  Mhm, loving this ro-     ast of Kenobi right now,

     It’s still said by a         worse enable

     So not too sweet

      But it      hits a spot,

       Any          way,

      Aight

Well isn’t this Anakin’s fantasy,     finally his anger out on his abuser              (Vent-ing)

           Hm,

           Yea-

             O-k

             Ok

            Seriously that is damn light

            Call-ing him a                   boomer

              Then they’re both enabling old Gen                     So pretty past the                  redemption mark,

                 But,                    Still,

Cath,arsis      is nice,  

B-ack

 W-h

 Yeah,        see      she      knew          it      was        bull,         shit-

    D-ie

   Wh-elp-           -          A more realistic relationship                   (toxic)

              High                  -                  Well

(Also when did the      clone get back?)

        Well,

      Also R2-D2 has the capabilities of a           projectile              launch                -er                  -               G           -uard                -              A-i

        Whe-

       Whe-n?

       Okay?

      D-amn      

      A-gain

      Exp-ression going a little          Looney Tunes        the-           re-

     (I should be able to read           their ex-           pression,”

]

 How?

  Did      that?

   She wasn’t wearing a     shock collar,

   And we didn’t see her gets sent to processing with that kind of thing would be implemented,

   Ser-

    Oof           -          Rex?           -        Freckin         down,

     Oof,

   W-h-         elp

   Again     emotion?

        [what’s              the           emotion?]

      W-h                  Oh-    

       I thought that was         pretty neat~ 

       Th-em      

      Da-mn   

     Also,             friends,         His       poisonous        en-abler          who        groomed          him          to            be          a child soldier,        And someone from a        younger       generation,         Who he groomed to be a child soldier,           Great         freck           ‘in           friends,               W-    

     Hey, that’s              some thing,              Mis-             s-             ion             .    

      Again has anyone been taking the mission        seriously            .         ever?         ..         At any point?   

     Anakin‘s been hecking around with this                      Obi-Wan decided screw            Subtlety, and went for             one guy,    

        And Ahsoka’s been been            be               grud               G                    Ing                        Ly                       -                      Putting                         up                      with                        it-                        ...                    Gen                          eral                         . . .                          Ser                          -vant                              -                                 Okay the tone just went into                               gar-                                 g-                               ,ling                               marbles,                                  And the                                   expression                                          is                                   neutral                                     (at                                      best)                                                                            What                                         the                                         hell?

   (Seriously why whenever Anakin‘s unfortunate childhood            it turns into gargling marbles?

        Like I can’t even tell what               emotion that is

     Either way    it’s just not how people talk,           Voice possibly getting         lower,          Not         what th             is- is

She is right - he has enabled a terrible system and continue(s - to be Obi- wan and the Council’s         bitch         (Non   identification          term,)

       Me

      Power

 Hey, no     difference from Obi-Wan,

      Great,

       Here,    The Boomer bait     Obi-Wan gave me,     Promising a place in      their screwed up           Future,       That I traded it then          Future            Now             Present              Ahsoka      ’s           (Chance)         at          A            Non-       (Completely)        Feck      -e-d              Child                 hood                 For,                  Thank       -s

   (Totally not a servant)

      Despite the      very conditional nature of         that agreement

              Also I real-ly like what they did there,      Anakin not being a slave         (Like he       said,

      Like in childhood)

              Now just being        a willing          servant,

        Really showing the         Modi    -cum      Of         Diff        er        en         ce         Be-tween    Being unwittingly       ordered         into it,                  And      (continued)     choosing to           enable it

       Fri-en          d-s

         Well that’s better for Ahsoka than literally anything Anakin and Obi-Wan have done for her

         Con-stantly              putting her in harms way-

         (Not giving a shit       about the child soldier thing)

          Great

          Why?

I don’t   honestly don’t get the idea behind the get up

As seen none of the   other     [of her     species]      Is     wearing     similar   get up

 Just-      doesn’t        add       up,-

  Aight

   Seems-         fine-  

     More hassle to get        food and water and        everything else up there to be        quite honest,

    Also seriously what is up with the wildlife?

   Like we have the cute        squishy things?

   And then        these?

    How?

   Promised

    Also,      That really     didn’t sound        too malicious         ...      Don’t get me wrong I think      I know what they’re trying to imply,

   But dude here’s suffering from          Clovis syndrome,

    Aka the tone just isn’t       carry          -ing           —-           There doesn’t seem to be any   malician     .behind what he just said,

   Like dude sounded like he said      “mine” as in mine for       board game night,

   “sk         -ug,”         Ok,     that’s Malacian      but it’s not the        right        kind,

       That just sounds          mildly offensive

                Non                    committal

                 Doesn’t really connect with    the tone of the previous sentence,

    Which was         like;           ‘The queen has promised you to me       how do you feel about it?’

      That, just coming            out of nowhere,

         Not carrying

        W-help

         A-         Ight-

         Not even             -consistent

           Like seriously,

       If you’re going to do a flat character              like that;

            At least try to do it                consistently;          Like dude went from “lust”, (I’m assuming it seems more like self-  conscious/doubt) to me then off-hand        Passive aggressiveness, then       Disciplinary,         Without so much          Of a pre-            empt       (Not        prompt,)                We never saw that        conscious          -ness               turn                to           aloofness,               Then cold rage,              pushing the button                   no shift,                     Only                impromptu                    jump,

            Shame would’ve been interesting if Ahsoka had a Clovis like friend,

            (I don’t know                  his age,)

                Again,

                Re-action?

  What am I supposed to feel          what, emotion is that

       I have           no clue,

      Well,         Why?

   [Why-

       ?

     Who is        this guy?

      A slave           owner/buy               -er?

        Whel-

        We’ve       found them

         No you were brought to them            -by force-

          Also where is the dude              that was just in a chair?

            Where?

           [also wow for Rex this must feel a                return ho                              me-

    Oh-but-

     Okay, not gonna          question it,

        Jedi

         -             Also yeah that was the question what their education of their youth actually is like

   *Groom            Ing

      Like the      propaganda        must be         damn          thick,

         As well as         the child abuse                    (If this is the state of society and seeing how they can see another         adult human being              (Sen             -tient)                 Yeah there’s no way those kids are in good condition,

            Also this dude comes off as such a              doof,

              Like not even remotely intim-              idating-                      -                  Well,                   Fuck

(Also yeah I’m pretty sure the         queen is going to be real fucking pleased that you just wasted a bunch of        stock

 Of a trade that is just getting back up and running again

 Also yeah     Kenobi really fucked this one up      -     His job to find them-       Fecked that      up-          -          Atten       -tion               -           Worst. way to get        attention         ever,

      You

  See, they’re specifically doing this to        mess with him-          -            De-fy

   And Obi-wan was then     allowed to wander off,

   While dude     spun the wrong way in his chair,

      Wh-

      Wh-at

      Why?

     Rom-antic     ?

    Lady that’s like pointing and saying you were once an abuse victim weren’t you?

    Like, very likely

  With the council, the clones            At least two slave               states                 (Planets)

       I think the only way you could get                 “vagu-er”                       Is saying                 child soldier,                       Sl-ave

  Being a slave      doesn’t make you       naturally virtuous,

    With      abusers,      it makes you pissed off

      Others,          Ty-pica               ll           y            Fine,

   But again that’s not guaranteed,

   Ex-abuse victims can still enable the abusers-

       And-

   [There’s just a lot of problems with this that I’m kind of     gargling,]

    Point being you can’t tell      something like that,

    And      suffering doesn’t make you more       virtuous,

          (Just means normal human decency stand out a lot more in the   darkness of degeneracy,

        Any,            Way,

   Groom         Ing

    Oh

   So they are actually       fram-          ing that it’s a bad thing,

     Good, cause it is

  Obi-Wan is a grooming frick

   And Ahsoka is a child robb         -ed of her child-            hood-

      By the council and implied to be              by Anakin              (Who did nothing and enabled it long past the point of        return,)

      Self-

     And literally        every-one             else                 (Inc-luding              the abuser        as we just saw)

         Self-           destruction            (and           enabling                it)             is a shit time,

             Be            Absolutely nothing besides a toxic enabler      upon a pile of rubble,

   It’s damn       useless,

    Oh, that’s almost           flirt              Ing-

That’s really dramatic music        for FLYING Frogs,

        Stay

        Again, he’s not       terribly opposed to this,

    -it

    Again, that came out of nowhere

    Like Anakin slavery hangups are the equivalent of an           on and off switch

     * Note, a reason.                To,              Slavery is bad         objectif             ication of other humans is bad,               Don’t do it,

          I called them hangups just to denote the fact            that there never anything,                  im-portant,                consistent or some thing he sticks by,

             Being perfectly fine with this        flirt      -ing        off the clock

    With a sl             -aver             -             Only occurring at random with no reuniting theme

         And literally just sounds like the writers,             Shou-ting-               “ Hey guys remember Anakin was a             slave?”

           Yes and while that can cause            rush-es of             e-motion

            None of that                 is shown,

            We don’t see Anakin clenching his fist and it building up that resent       -ment-

         We don’t see him fighting              the idea,                 that the            Jedi just use him,                 Like his               old slave                master-

                We don’t       see any emotion,

              It’s just dull

              Not like an emotional dull

              Like an unemotional one,

                            There’s not        h-ing

                            Which is a shame because there should be a lot of emotion here-

         And there’s not-

     She’s          Right,

     And Anakin is an          inhuman        abomination,            That can’t even           manage an emotion,

     (Might want to try          someone else)

        Really?

        Because he hasn’t managed a single emotion or       conflict this entire time,

        Unless you mean biologically complicated in that case yes how the feck does this man work?

        Adult people are             very emotional,              Dude can’t          even manage a bit of it

   - His expressions        are damn atrocities

      (Of logic!)

     (And        ,empathy)

   Again      Emotion,

  Well I will give this episode the benefit,        It’s the episode that got things the            closest thing to right             (Greivous’s lair,           Not          withstanding)                In terms of tone, 

       Near the middle

    (Before promptly          coming crashing down to the ground,)

     Unfortunately considering the rest of the episodes that isn’t really high  praise

      The thing about tone is I need to be able to understand what emotions your char-acters are feeling and being por-tray-ed in about every scene,

       And,           You can’t cut corners

       And hav-ing switching emotional        moods            With             out              pre            empt              or under-              standing,

        Still passing the threshold of being a              good story;

          -Co-herent tale that can be followed

          - doesn’t normalize        problematic or self-destructive                   Behavior

         However not one of a fun story;

       Leaving me with the persistent fee-      ling of chew-            Ing metal

      Mildly      irritating,        Clunky,          And not the least bit entertaining        or of any value                 (Much)

     That it has yet to          rise above

Memo departing: how to collect the child in the camp?

The school year is over, camps begin first-year change, which means that it's time to pack your bags and giving young holidaymakers last farewell. Every parent wants the child is brought from the camp a lot of pleasant experiences, and then the whole year ecstatically remembered interesting cases from the "pioneer" of life.

How to captivate a child in a camp, how to diversify its leisure and organize an unforgettable shift - it will take care counselors. I, from the standpoint of his experience vozhatskogo remind a few moments to consider the parents, sending a child to camp.

Choosing a camp and program, keep in mind the age and circumstances of the child

Kid Boot Camp - with kids fainting

It would seem banal advice. And in fact, many parents as soon as they hear the coveted "have the opportunity to send a child on the sea!" Immediately forget about age, and much more. But if the child is still small, it is better to go for a vacation in a familiar climate, without a sharp change of environment. In addition, a small child and visit the camp required more often than a teenager - it is more convenient if the camp will be located in your area or anywhere within reach, you yourself will be less worry, knowing that at any moment will be able to visit, feed the baby, if not to take away - there are different situations.

Also, when choosing a camp it is necessary to take into account the physical abilities of the child, his character, hobbies. If you have a growing competitor, do not send it in the language camp, even if you personally program seems to be very attractive and you think that a child exercise football is enough, but it's time to tighten English. Conversely, if your child - Excellent thin glasses that are hard to catch up on the bar, it is not necessary to choose the camp with a sports bias or tourist destinations. Health, stamina and optimism not increase a child what he will not keep up with the others and "spoil the performance" of the whole squad. Remember, your goal - the child pleasantly spent the summer, and did not suffer from the fact that all around strange, uninteresting, boring and even hateful.

Keep in touch with the camp administration

When the decision on the choice of the camp made contact with his administration and verify all the organizational issues, such as: Learn how to organize delivery of children in the camp, you will be able to visit the child, what kind of things need to take with you, what documents to gather and photocopied (in tonnes. Charles Medical records), whether trips are planned and how much money should be given to a child, if there is a safe in the camp, where it will be possible to deposit money and valuables, if you inadvertently put any child in a suitcase :)

Be sure to check if they have a camp site where you can get acquainted with the program of activities, and during the change of watch online for the rest of the camp and the life of her child.

Properly plan the child's budget

Check with the camp administration, whether the planned entrance fee or any other expenses (for example, a child may need to buy drinking water or souvenirs home). Depending on the action plan and purchase estimate, how much money to give to a child. Excess does not let us, as the camp is usually always have a grocery store, which sells, unfortunately, is not useful for the child's health products: crackers, chips, lollipop and all parent child leave the money there. Of course, finances can be stored in a safe, access to which have counselors, but still, if a child asks to give him "to eat", counselors are not usually refused. It's not their money, and they hold them, too, can not. Therefore, pre-negotiate with the child, that the budget is limited: it is on the water, is on tour, and no chips at all. Do not be afraid that the child will go hungry. On the contrary, children, eats chips in the store, then extremely reluctant to eat porridge for breakfast and soup for lunch.

Prepare a folder with documents

Put the child in a separate folder copies of his documents, on a separate sheet write name of parents, their place of work and position - this will certainly ask counselors when they get acquainted with a group, such as the questions asked suddenly, can easily put the baby into a dead end. Be sure to write down the phone numbers on which you, the parents, you can contact: mobile, home, work - the more room, the better, since by law meanness, when you need to reach parents, mobile phone suddenly blocked. This folder with useful information not give the escort team in the camp - most likely, your child will be in the squad not stand those counselors that will carry a child on a bus or train. Suppose the folder is in the suitcase with things, and after the distribution of the orders he would give her a child counselor.

Do not take unnecessary things

Often brought to see the pioneers of the younger teams that like ants dragging a suitcase behind, which easily fits a couple of kids. Think that accompany the child often come with the whole family: Dad carries suitcase, my mother - a bag of food in here further to drag your luggage child has their own. And the camp is usually pretty far to go to the housing ...

Do not place the child with a lot of clothes, most likely, a large part will return home in a suitcase never worn. Suffice it to take a few changes of underwear, several sets of summer clothes (t-shirt + shorts or skirts), a light shirt with long sleeves, one set of warm clothes: jeans / trousers and sweater / jacket, one set of elegant clothes for a concert or disco, swimsuit. From shoes need something closed, designed for bad weather and long walks: comfortable shoes or sneakers and a pair of open, such as sandals. If the child goes to the sea, you can optionally put it in a bag for the shale beach and tanning. But headgear is mandatory, regardless of where the camp is located. True, the branded his cap is now presented in almost all camps.

Also require personal care items: toothbrush, toothpaste, soap in the soap dish. Alas, in many camps still no toilet paper and shampoo. Shampoo in large bottles do not take - is hard to bear - pour in the bubbles and place the child with a number of probes of shampoo. If the girls long hair, they can be useful and balsam conditioner for hair, especially after the sea water or the swimming pool. Also in the form of probes or butylki :)

Speaking of the package with a meal if the child will be a long road to the camp, for example, a day on the train, put him with him any long-lasting fruit, better a couple of banal apples, instant oatmeal in sachets, biscuits. This food it was enough to be fed into the train. But the pear-peach, banana and other easily rotting fruit, sausage sandwiches, milk drinks and yoghurts leave home in the fridge. Do not comfort themselves with the hope that the child will eat it quickly and it does not have time to deteriorate. The train will feed the children let not the restaurant, but fresh food and poison green with bag fare, but at the beginning of holiday - to anything. Stocks of sweets to the camp nightstand also take necessary - still according to the sanitary requirements they will have to withdraw counselors.

In order to facilitate the suitcase is not necessary to take the bricks, books, sports equipment. Anyway, the case itself is better to replace a small sports bag and the collection of things to build on its volume. And yes, do not forget the bag "sign": within the paste or sew birochku with the name of the child.

Separately say about the valuable things: the girls definitely better to leave the house gold ornaments, and all children, regardless of gender - to forget home plates, expensive mobile phones and other valuables. For calls better to take the old push-button telephone - fewer temptations to "sit" in the games and the Internet, is less chance that the phone someone steals ...

Do not hide your child's medical diagnoses

If your child has a chronic disease and needs regular medication, that information must necessarily be reflected in his medical records, and marked for counselors on a piece of paper where you wrote down the name and phone numbers of parents.

Be sure to indicate whether your child is allergic to any medications, foods, or other substances. This information will take into account the very leader and the provider of the camp, which will give the child documents. But the drugs themselves make with them is not necessary, especially with captions "from the head", "from the teeth" - you do not want your child to self-medicate? The issue of individual drug intake should be solved in advance with the camp administration: is it possible, who and how will give your child medication. In any case, in secret and bring yourself to take some drugs can not.

Many parents are silent about the diseases or the individual characteristics of their children, fearing that because of this will not take them to the camp. For example, almost always unexpectedly found out that the child enuresis ... (or a child - a lunatic, and walks in his sleep at the House ... or restless sleep, tossing and turning and the bed falls ... to hide do not need anything, because the truth will become obvious very A fast time leader warned and measures take time Where to put that to put a -.. and so that the child was not injured, and the other children did not laugh at him.

Talk to your child about the rules of conduct in the camp

It is important to convey to the child that you can not leave the camp alone: ​​nor day, especially at night. Camp romance turns her head and the guys, especially in the senior squad, is considered a matter of honor to the city to escape the afternoon, and at night - the river or the sea to swim. And even if the case is closed for the night, there is the possibility to open the window, and counselors with sleep ... so there remains only rely on the common sense of the child, the possible dangers in detail and outline him to warn of romantic nonsense.

It should also be understood that other teens in the camp your child can offer to smoke, steal from him a thing, sew sleeves in jackets well, etc. Do not intimidate the child such prospects, but carefully discuss possible difficulties is necessary, but at the same time to offer options for responding to them.

Well, in general, talk about the need to respect the schedule, listen to counselors - too odd not to be :)

By the way, if your child has the skills he needs a self-service or predotpusknoy master class? Is the child able faded stain on the shirt, and provide itself with clean socks? Can self-wash your hair and comb your hair? - These issues are particularly relevant to children of junior teams.

And finally:

When you come to the child in the "Parents' Day" or talk to him on the phone, you may notice that his voice was trembling, and his eyes welling with tears. Yes, even a seemingly quite older children, even boys, often miss family, my mother, especially after curfew, when overwhelmed thinking, but as there is now at home ... but that does not mean that they do not like in the camp and that they then do not cry on the day of departure, and swear to write letters to each other, at least in social networks :)

By the way, is not always the curse of melting of the camp gates. I still correspond with several former "pioneers", who now adult family people, and often remember the camp :)
