[mister-ancunin]

i haven’t had any solid time to play bg.3 in 4 months so i end up randomly hopping on, kissing star at least seven times, and then making a save file before disappearing again. i love being gay

[allforreading-fandomthings]

I re-watched TG86 and TG:M - Pt.1

I re-watched both movies yesterday and made a list of things I don't hear people talking about enough.

TOP GUN

Wolfman during the singing scene - He's so invested in this, too! Makes me think that Mav maybe isn't the loner he's always pictured as

Mav more or less cuddling with Carole while Charlie sits next to them - Speaks volumes about the missing chemistry between Mav and Charlie I think

They say that Ice's jetstream caused the accident so why are there absolutely no consequences for him? Doesn't really make sense to me.

Mav and Ice buzz the tower together! - I can't believe I've never noticed that one before! Which leads me to my next point:

Ice and Mav making each other better and complement each other - Mav becomes more considerate and Ice becomes more fun

Nothing's more romantic than two F-14s flying into sunset together

TOP GUN: MAVERICK

The Darkstar is an absolute beauty

Jake's hand on Mav's back before they carry him outside + the fact that Jake actually carries him outside

Hondo & Mav friendship + how much fun Hondo has watching the daggers do their push ups

Ice and Mav hug twice!!

Phoenix taking Bob under her wings instantly + Bob becoming so sassy just because of her

It's hilarious that Mav doesn't know shit about sailing

Why doesn't Cyclone have a single clue about team building activities?!

Warlock supporting Mav and his choices

Dagger One is hit is such an emotional scene

The Mav & Bradley hug

[rottenpumpkin13]

picture the scene: they (AGSZC + Turks and Rufus) wake up find BUNNIES EVERYWHERE AND ALL OVER THE SHINRA BUILDING.

Angeal: Sees the chaos of everyone playing with bunnies and immediately climbs onto a high surface. Spends the next hour giving a stern lecture on responsible pet ownership and proper rabbit handling, using one confused bunny as a live demonstration model.

Sephiroth: Too awkward and scared to pick one up at first, terrified he'll hurt it. But one hops into his lap and refuses to leave. Now he's sitting stiffly with it curled up on him like it's royalty. "I don't know what it wants, but it's chosen me." Already has three tabs open comparing bunny toys, habitat pens and organic hay brands.

Genesis: Knew immediately this would descend into chaos. Grew up with rabbits in the Rhapsodos orchard and is now bunny-proofing his office. Seen dragging a box of loose cables while scolding a bunny he's befriended: "Friedrich, do NOT eat industrial-grade insulation. We've talked about this."

Zack: The second he saw a bunny he vanished and returned wearing a magician cape and holding a top hat. Is now going around performing "magic," dramatically pulling the same bunny out of the same hat over and over.

Cloud: Sitting stiffly on the couch with six bunnies hopping across his lap. Doesn't know how to get up. "Help. Please. Zack. Zack. Zack, I can't feel my legs. They won't stop judging me. ZACK."

Reno: Should be arrested. Has already collected five into a Shinra shipping crate. On the phone with someone shady: "Bro, these things go for 500 gil a pop in Wall Market. I'm about to retire."

Rude: Already built a containment pen and somehow corralled twenty into perfect rows. Feeding them hay in complete silence. One bunny is perched on his bald head. He allows it.

Rufus: Initially stood on a chair in disgust. "Vermin. I demand extermination." But the second he saw Darkstar barking at one, he immediately panicked. Now being dragged down the hallway by the leash, screaming, "DEE, DO NOT HARASS THEM. THEY ARE FRIENDS."

I have so many reasons why I love JayRoy, but there is one that is a surprisingly big factor while also completely meaningless and coincidental, but adorable to think about.

Allow me to show you Lian Harper of Earth-22, aka the Kingdom Come universe.

This pretty freckled redhead is indeed, believe it or not, Lian Harper. Unfortunately there are no good pictures of her in her originating story.

Lucky for us, her and her team of Titans appear in Titans 23-25

and the team includes other Titans kids

Darkstar, (possibly) Robert Long, Donna's son Nightstar, Mar'i Grayson, Dick and Kori's daughter Kid Flash, Irey West, Wally's daughter Aquagirl, Tula, Garth's daughter

I'm not sure where the name "Darkstar" comes from if I'm completely honest, but Nightstar is obviously just smashing Nightwing and Starfire together, and the other two are legacy names. Lian's name is...not like that. And it's hilarious to me. Just...

You read that correctly. There is a future version of Lian Harper whose superhero name is Red Hood.

Now this is more because one of the names Roy used was Red Arrow, and with Arrowfam's whole Robin Hood schtick, Little Red Riding Hood seemed like a fun play. And this is before Graduation Day, so I'm not sure if Jason was even planned to return yet. It literally has nothing to do with Jason or Joker but that's kind of why I love it so much. This literally has nothing to do with who we know as Red Hood AND YET. THE CONNECTION IS THERE.

It's just one of those funny coincidences that I love.

For funsies, here's more pictures of her.

You can tell Roy has a toddler because while not knowing this is also his daughter, he is talking to her like a naughty dog lmao

Despite the red hair, she looks like her mom...and as much as I hate Cheshire, that's still kinda sweet and really cute.

They're only there for a short while, and then the Titans forget they existed immediately after, but it's still nice.

This outfit also inspired my redesign for Lian's hero costume. I love the shoulder cape. Just give the hood some cat ears and we're good.

Lian is my favorite.

So based on this post, I have a little bit written. Thought I’d share it. It will eventually include this post as well.

CyMav (I completely suck at titles)

It started with a text.

Mav was reluctantly at a Naval conference in Las Vegas. Reluctant, because most of the upper brass attending were not his biggest fans. The only reason he’d agreed to come was because he had been asked to speak about his piloting experience with the Darkstar project.

He had seen some friends—Warlock, Chipper, even old Stinger was there. Of course, he’d met more people who didn’t like him, but that was typical for his life in the Navy.

It was as he was headed to willfully irritate one of those people, that his life changed. Warlock had invited Mav down to the pool area with a promise of stories about his son, Rooster’s time at TOPGUN.

However, when he spotted Warlock’s white hair in the hot tub, there was another large, imposing body with him. Cyclone had met Maverick earlier that day, and he made his opinion on the Captain quite clear.

As Mav stepped closer, ready to either ignore or purposefully antagonize the admiral, he saw something that made him stop in his tracks. The annoyingly tall, tight-laced, rule-following admiral had nipple rings.

Fuck! Mav’s mouth watered at the sight, and he suddenly had a new goal in sight. He was going to ride that admiral’s dick if it was the last thing he did.

Pulling out his phone, he snapped a discreet picture and texted Slider. He needed the devil on his shoulder for this one.

Mav: [pic]

Mav: I’m about to do something really stupid.

Slider: Be careful Mav. I know for a fact you’re a size queen…

Slider: But Cyclone got his callsign doing the helicopter in the locker room.

Mav: 😳😳😳🥵

Slider: Dude is hung.

Mav: Bigger than you??

Slider: Definitely.

Mav: Wish me luck!

Mav: And don’t tell Ice!

Slider: 🙄

Slider: Ice, you are not gonna believe this shit…

Mav fluffed his hair up and sauntered over to the hot tub. He had already rolled his jeans up just below his knees, but he waited until he made eye contact with Cyclone before he reached down and pulled his t-shirt off slowly, tossing it, along with his phone, on the table nearby.

“Hello, gentlemen,” he purred, lowering his eyelids and holding the admiral’s gaze. “Mind if I join you?”

Warlock was chuckling into his drink, watching the train wreck play out in front of him. Cyclone rolled his eyes and waved his hand in reluctant acquiesce. “C’mon then, brat. Not that I think you wait for permission for much of anything.”

Mav grinned brilliantly, perching on the edge right next to the admiral, dipping his rather dainty feet into the water. “ I might surprise you, Beau, I can be very obedient under the right circumstances.”

It took everything Cyclone had not to shiver as Mav accidentally brushed his foot against Cy’s shoulder as he shifted position. He was no idiot. The bratty captain was making his interest very clear.

Well, there was that saying about Vegas, right?

He wasn’t sure exactly how they got back to his room. They had ordered a few drinks from the poolside bar, and Warlock had abandoned them after Mav tied his cherry stem into a knot with his tongue.

Beau was a practical man. He had earned his stars by learning the rules and executing them perfectly. It had also unfortunately been a long time since he had gotten laid. And Captain Mitchell unfortunately checked all his boxes.

Alien Force Ben: Was he really that mature?

I want to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while. Fans complain about how Ben was super mature in early AF before regressing into an arrogant “man-child” in S3, UA and OV but I don’t think the change was as drastic as people say. Ben was never the super stoic, mature character they think he was. A lot of his behavior was fairly consistent, even if some of it was flanderized in the later sequels. People can have their critiques of his character writing, I have some myself, but I think the version of Ben people romanticize wasn’t as much of a Gary Stu as they remember.

For starters, Ben could still be kind of a asshole, especially to Kevin, which was somewhat justified due to his criminal past. He took potshots at him in “Kevin’s Big Score”, both before and after he stole the Rustbucket. In “The Gauntlet” he had fun messing with Gwen and Kevin as Goop and later laughed at Kevin after seeing him get beat up by Cash. In that same episode, he goofed around when trying smoothie combinations as pictured above. He also enjoyed annoying Kevin by playing with his car lock in Verdona’s debut. There was also “Darkstar Rising” where he made an insensitive joke that caused Kevin to lash out at him after getting his plumber badge confiscated.

Before I continue, I’d like to say that I’m not doing this to vilify Ben or make him into a heartless monster like some do. I’m kin with the asshole and consider him one of my favorite characters. This is just me pointing out that early AF Ben was never the perfect mature person that he’s remembered as and could still be goofy and had some of those same flaws that Ultimate Alien Ben gets dragged for. I headcanon him as having autism because while he’s very compassionate, empathy is not his strong suit which isn’t a bad thing nor does it make someone a bad person. I sort of incorporated that into my fanfic where Ben and Steven Universe grate on each other before bonding because of their differing personalities with the former realizing how insufferable he can come off as.

Then there’s “Pet Project”. For starters, Ben lied about having homework to get out of going to the mall and so he could watch a movie. Not much different from what he does in “Duped” or “The Perfect Girlfriend”. He also shows a distrust of Ship and doesn’t seem to care about him until Gwen and Kevin force him to which remained consistent through S3 and UA.

Ben acted as mature as he did during the Highbreed war because with Max gone and his team as their only hope, he had to be the adult in that situation. By S3 with peace established and Max out of retirement and proven to be alive, he could let his guard down a bit. He said himself in “Absolute Power” that he has fun “but when the situation got serious” so did he. In UA, when Aggregor injured Max and Kevin mutated again, Ben was forced to act as leader again, hence why he was back to acting mature in that arc. Kids IRL who are forced to be adults far younger than they should be do often struggle with regression later on.

Again, none of this was to vilify Ben or make him into douchebag. I just feel like his character isn’t as inconsistent as people say it is. Could the writing have been better? Sure but early AF Ben wasn’t a mature, always serious saint and he always had those flaws or personality quirks, even before fame got to his head in season 3 and UA. If you disagree and think they ruined his character after, that’s fine, this is just how I interpret him.

[mynameiskan]

Of course! You can draw whatever you want, whenever you want. 🙂

Other random ideas (no pressure to draw any of them, I just like picturing the characters during LNY): Darkstar celebrating with the Midgar Zolom, everyone trying to solve lantern riddles with varying degrees of success, full moon gazing with your preferred ship

Thank you for your cutie idea 😘

I'm having a lot of fun drawing it.

I would like express my feelings a bit before the holiday ends:

It's so great to have a chance to share a beautiful part of Vietnamese culture with everyone here. I thought back to all the times my parents took me to see the dragon dance when I was still a small kid while I was drawing this.

And I would like to have your permission to draw your other ideas next Lunar New Year. Yupp, I firmly believe I'm going to stick with Rufus/Cloud gang and FF7 fandom for a long time ✌✨

Moreover, I would like to thank everyone for enjoying my digital fanart. I hope I can draw more fanart/requests like this. 😚 Especially the request to draw the baby version of Rufus, Cloud and the Turks ❤

Tet Holiday (we Vietnamese people usually call it Tet Holiday or Tet instead of Lunar New Year) is going to end soon and I will return to my usual job as well as prepare to take an IELTS exam so that I can apply for a Master Degree program in TESOL. But don't worry ✌ drawing is a way for me to have fun and relax so I'm still going to draw your requests. 👀 And I want to draw NSFW Rufus/Cloud fanart more often. Someone shared a lot of free NSFW poses with me and I intend to make the best use of them.

🍀

Oh, and I'll leave the version with no letter and background here.

Mav 😍🖤

BUBBLY!

Ch. 2 A Day with Dark Star!! 

“Thank you for taking me in, Dark Star.” You smiled as you put down your duffle bag full of (Limited) stuff you brought from the orphanage. It was filled with loving memories, such as two T-shirts you had lived off of for the past few months, including two mismatched pants. 

“Eh, don’t worry about it kid, and hey,” Dark Star turned over to you, he was, for the first time, in casual clothes, just some basketball shorts and some random t-shirt. “And, no need to call me Dark Star while outside of hero work, Call me Liam.” 

“Ok, Dark Star!” You cheered. 

“No, Liam!” Dark Star laughed. 

“Dark Star!” You cheered again. 

“Uhhh, we’ll work on that!” Dark Star held his hand for a high five, but it was for your dislocated shoulder. 

“Umm…” You shuffled over so you could use your non injured arm to return the high five. 

“S-Sorry” Dark Star Nervously laughed, and started to walk down a hall with only two rooms, expecting you to follow, and you did, by quickly picking up your bag full of things. “So uhm, right here is my room,” Dark Star opened the door to your right, it was very nice, a huge bed, a desk, a walk-in closet, and a small little corner filled with Dark Star merch, posters, memorabilia, and fan letters, it was so out of place you couldn’t help but giggle. “IGNORE THAT” Dark Star, well Liam, quickly gathered all of the stuff in both of his hands and shoved them into his closet. He was beet red and mumbled to himself for not cleaning his room. “SO!” he breathed deeply, wiping some sweat from his dark skin. “L-Let me show you your room!” Liam Quickly got up from his scrambled form on the floor and went to the door opposite his. “So this is your room,” Dark Star opened the room to reveal a room similar to his, it looked like it was previously lived in too. 

“Uhm… You sure no one lives here?” You placed a down duffle bag near the desk and looked over the messy bed. 

“Oh,” Liam walked over to the bed and patted it. “My Hero Partner used to stay here, but he’s gone, you can start living here now,” he seemed to be talking to himself more than you. “Welp, I'm gonna make us some pasta, get yourself situated, yeah?” He quickly left the room leaving you by yourself. You let out a sigh, You still can’t believe that the orphanage let DarkStar take you in. They usually do a whole background check on the adopter, but learning that the reason for adoption was because of BlueCast, they immediately let them take you. You opened your duffle bag and picked up your clothes, you hugged them as you opened your closet expecting a small little room for clothing, you were surprised. It was probably the same size as your bedroom at the orphanage, you walked in, took the empty hangers, and neatly hung your clothes onto them. You looked at your clothes and back to the huge closet, it looked as empty as it was before you put your clothes in. 

“I’ll buy more…” You quickly calculated how much money you had, which was ultimately, none. “Soon.” You were just about to leave the room until you spotted something in the corner of your eye. You walked over to it just expecting some dust, but you got closer to it, it was a piece of paper, a photo. Picking it up it was a picture of Liam with a man right next to him, they both were wearing their Bluecast uniforms and holding their acceptance letters. The man looked familiar. Tan skin, dyed blonde hair, he looked like your teacher Mr. Lamb– You cut that thought off your head, there are a bunch of people out there in Herabi with tan skin and dyed blond hair, it’s nothing special, you took the photo with you and walked out of the room. 

You walked over to the bed and quickly fixed it just organizing the pillows and tucking the blanket in it, making it look somewhat presentable. And before you left the room to join Dark Star for dinner, you took out your photo from your pocket. It was a faded picture of you, your mother, and your father. And well, someone else, you couldn’t tell, or remember who it was. All you have left of them is their arm around your shoulder. You placed the photo under your pillow and let out a sigh. You walked over to the door to join Liam for dinner and looked back at the room, slowly but surely, you'll make this place your own, just like you did with the orphanage. 

.

.

“So, I don’t know what type of pasta you like so I just made spaghetti!” He took two plates and placed them on the table, both looking delicious and identical. A good-sized meatball in the middle and a hefty amount of parmesan sprinkled on top. “I don’t know how you like your spaghetti either, so I just copied the cookbook that Blue Cast provides.” Liam sat down on one of the stools in front of the kitchen island and you joined. Both of you quietly ate the spaghetti, it was pretty good, and you thought that the food that the orphanage provides was good. 

“When I was in the Closet,” You took the last bit of spaghetti on your plate and ate it. “I found this.” you wiped your mouth with a tissue and pulled out the picture of Liam and the man. 

“Oh my Gosh,” Liam gently took it out of your hands. “I-I I haven’t seen this in like forever!” Liam laughed and patted your back. “Thanks for finding this for me kid, you do not!” He patted your back again. “Know how much this means to me!” 

“Who is he?” You looked over Liam’s shoulder. 

“This,” He smacked the photo. “Is my hero Partner, He uhm…” Dark Star's face went slightly sad. “There was this mission that we had, he wanted to stay behind because he said he dropped his potion bag and…” Dark Star made an explosion sound with his mouth, and right after was a deafening silence.  

“Sorry for what happened to your friend…” You hugged him and he placed his hand on your head to pat it. 

“Eh, it’s all in the past, it's fine kid,” He placed the Photo onto the table near his plate. “You can go off to your room or whatever, just don’t burn down the place yeah?” You nodded and walked over to your, before you closed the door, you looked back to Liam. He was just sitting there on the stool looking at the photo, you decided to leave him alone and went into your room to start your nightly routine before you went to sleep. 

.

.

“-... .-. --- - .... . .-.” you walked down the steps of your home to the man sitting in a luxurious armchair in front of a fire. 

“Yes [Name]?” The man looked over to you, well more like faced in your direction. Everything around him was warped, smudged, or just off.

“-... .-. --- - .... . .-. Do you know where Mama and Papa went?” You walked around the armchair to face him fully, he wore a fancy black dress shirt, suit pants, dress shoes, and an expensive-looking crystal bracelet. He picked you up from under your armpits like how someone would pick up a cat and place you on the armrest so both of you were at eye level. 

“Oh [Name], they both went somewhere very, very nice, far away, where they will be waiting for us, where everyone they love is…” the man patted your head softly trying to soothe you. His touch felt gentle but yet hollow, his hands stiff and calculated. 

“Oh…” You tried to ask questions, who is this man? Why am I having this dream again?! You tried to say something else, anything! But it was like you were forced to pour these words out of your mouth like it was a script. “Why–Why don’t I remember where they went?” 

“Oh, silly, silly, [Name] always questions you huh?” The man laughed, first it was normal, then, the laugh was strained, then the warp around his face started to change, different shapes, and colors. It  was too much, if you could, you would cover your eyes, but in this nightmare, you couldn’t. Not yet. Suddenly random Memories flashed like a flicker, each one making no sense! Each one the only thing you can make out was someone's pale blue eyes making you even more uncomfortable.

“Don’t worry little one, all will be revealed soon…” 

And finally you woke up.

.

.

You gasped getting up quickly making you dizzy. 

“Gosh I hate those dreams…” 

You removed the covers from your legs and just sat there. The thoughts were spinning your head wondering if it was some message for the future or some other out worldly bull crap people say dreams mean. You slowly got up from your bed and walked to the closet. Putting your hair into [Insert hairstyle here] and putting on a green bandana making sure no hair will go into your face throughout the day. (if bandana’s aren’t your thing choose any other head accessory you want! Just please keep the color as green trust it’s for the plot.) You were still in your pajamas but it was fine. Maybe today you will just stay in Liam’s dorm and don’t have to step outside! You put your arm into the sling so that you won’t accidently further damage your shoulder accidentally hurt it and walk out the door. 

“Ugh… Good morning [name],” Liam got up from the couch moving the braids out of his face and scratching his dark skin. “You should get ready for the day, you have a custom hero outfit fitting soon yeah?” He stretched getting up from the couch, his wings manifesting behind him (he is able to manifest and unmanifest his wings at will) and letting them stretch as well. 

“Did you stay up late watching TV?” You stood there wondering either if you should laugh at his predicament or should just stand there. “And yeah sureeee…” 

“Yes, sorry it’s a habit of mine, and yeah, just take your time getting ready yeah?’’ He walked up to you patting your shoulder and walked right past you into his room to get ready signaling you to do so too. 

.

.

“Yeahhh nooo… Black doesn’t suit you…” Liam, well now Dark Star now in his hero outfit wings and all held up a patch of black fabric trying to figure out if it should be your jacket or pants. He sat leaning back on a nice fluffy couch in the Bluecasti boutique. “Patchy!’’ Dark Star hollered to a girl working on the hem of your sweater, a nice comfortable green sweater that went along with your bandana. She lifted her head from her crouching in front of your non injured arm, placing a pin back into her pin cushion, also used as her hat. 

“Yep, black isn’t their color.” Patchy quickly took another pin from her hat and placed it in your jacket fitting it to your skin. You were afraid of moving, Patchy worked so fast that you felt like if you moved a muscle you would for sure get stabbed by one of her pins. “What about blue?” 

“Blue?” Dark Star rummaged through a box full of fabrics and pulled out a denim fabric looking like it was ripped from some poor pair of jeans. “What about this blue?” Dark Star handed the blue fabric to Patchy who wasn’t even looking away from her work on your sweater. 

“Yeah, this will work.” Patchy pinned the piece of fabric to your pant leg, (almost hitting your leg in the process making you jump) and snapped her fingers. Quickly, the pants gleamed with a soft yellow light, and in your old Blue Cast Uniforms place was now a nice pair of denim pants.

“Wow…” You made your mouth into a small shape even though she did the same thing with your jacket, it still doesn't fail to surprise you. 

“Amazing huh kid?” Patchy puffs her chest out and smiles, her tan lips spreading to reveal the small gap between her teeth. “Do you want to add anything else?” 

“How about a wrench patch over one leg and a gear patch on the other?” You gleamed practically sparkles in your eyes, someone who can tailor to anyone’s style? Now that has to be a Dream right? Patchy snapped her fingers again, revealing “a patch " to your request. 

“I love your outfit, but it just needs one more touch… Something to make you iconic!” She reached up to your bandana but stopped mid-way. “May I?” You nodded as she untied your bandana and retired it to make a headband with the two extra ends sticking out to make it look like little bunny ears. (If you are not into the bunny ears thing, you can just make it a regular headband.) “Now for your hair…” Patchy took your hair and tied it into a bun. “Make sure to keep your hair up when you go into battle, ok kid? Don’t be like a bird brain over there and let your hair hit your face whenever you turn your head around to fight.

“Hey! I like my braids!”  Dark Star pouted as he touched the jewelry embedded in his hair. Patchy rolled her eyes and continued to touch up his outfit. 

“And… You are done? What do you think?” Patchy pulled over a mirror stand that moved on wheels. 

“I…” You took in a deep breath looking at the new look, it suited you. “I like it!” 

“Well, now it’s time to give you an alias!” Dark Star smiled and stood up. “And since I am your mentor or whatever bluecast calls it, I’m going to name ya!” he puffed his feathers and chest out all proud. 

“What’s an alias?” You stood there dumb founded as patchy took the mirror away.

“It’s your hero's name , pipsqueak.” Dark Star's proud face went straight to a default face. You made a small O shape with your mouth and Dark Star chuckled patting your shoulder lightly. “Welp, let's figure it out…” He walked circles around you trying to figure your knee Hero name out. Suddenly, he gasped. “WHAT ABOUT… TINKER!” His eyes lighted up like there were stars in them. 

“You mean the dumb nickname you gave me when I dislocated my arm?” He gave him a sarcastic annoyed look. 

“Yes!” He nodded. “It’s because you are smart and you like to invent things- and-” His expression went confused. “Wait… where did your wrench thing go?” 

Your eyes widened noticing where you last saw it. “I LEFT IT AT THE PLAZA AAA!” You let out a sigh, yes sure it only took you such little time to make it but it still was your only weapon. Now you have to start from scratch once again. Dark Star let out a sigh, you could practically read his mind seeing that he meant “Oh Well!”. 

“Man… Ok, let just go pay Patchy for your outfit and go yeah? I’ll treat you to something whatever you want,” Dark Star walked over to Patchy’s desk, she was there calculating how much it will cost.

“That would be $125.62 snails please…” Patchy held out her hand for Dark Star’s card. He took out his wallet from his pants pocket and handed the card to her. Just like in every single store, Patchy took the card and swiped it, a green check mark. Patchy had you take off your hero outfit so now you were just in a sweater That Dark Star never used, your t-shirt from the orphanage, and some random sweat pants that you packed when you moved. Patchy then handed you a dark blue Bag that held your hero outfit. “Good luck in your missions guys!” Patchy waved to the both of you as you walked out of her boutique and went out of the Bluecast Plaza. It was beautiful, a massive fountain in the middle with the Bluecast logo in the fountain. You looked up to see a huge skydome letting in all of the spring light. There were plants stringed around the rim of the sky dome to add some decoration. You and Dark Star stood there taking in the scenery until a man swoops by one vines like he was on a surfboard.

“SORRY!” The man said almost hitting some persons side kick, the poor kid screamed and right after the hero crouching down and comforting the kid. Next a lady rises from a lamp post in a weird flame like form than flying into the air and landing onto the ground. Now a lady rises from the fountain in a water form and lands next to the fire lady. They kiss each other on the cheek and start to walk towards a cafe that was packed full of other supers. 

“I was the same way when I first got accepted into Blue cast, I still get slightly breath taken when I come here…” Dark Star let out a sigh and started to walk towards the door out of the blue cast headquarters. You followed. “Come on, let's go find something to do today,” You smiled and continued to walk with him, well until you bumped into someone.

“Oh-oh sorry–” You looked up to see a man, he seemed to be around the same age as Dark Star (maybe a little older you don’t know). He had beautiful silver short hair and wore a chinese hanfu with similar cool tones. He looked straight out of a novel, he turned to you, he had a diamond mark on his forehead and a girl who seemed older than you by the man's side. 

“Yep! They are sorry!” Dark Star smacked your head down so you would be in a bowing position. “Come on Tinker, let's go…” 

“Wait…” The man spoke, his voice was so gentle, like a familiar warmth of the early morning.  “Dark Star, it has been a while… How are you doing” the man smiled. Dark Star started talking to the man but you didn’t listen, you looked around and people were pointing at the man smiling, was he famous or something. 

“I’m Marble…” The girl spoke to you; she seemed calm and mature, just like the man. “Who are you?” 

“I’m [Na–] I mean Tinker! My name is Tinker!” You smiled and took out a hand for the girl to shake, as she shook your hand, you looked at her outfit, it was a beautiful white and gray dress and she wore heels making her taller than you. 

“You must be Dark Star’s new sidekick, no? I’m glad he found someone to keep him company,” The girl let go of your hand as you nodded. Both of you continued to talk amongst each other, Marble turned out to be a very nice girl, but you can see why she didn’t stay as an accomplice with Dark Star, they were total opposites! Marble was calm and calculated while Dark Star was a go with the flow guy. 

“Oh and where are my manners…” the man talking to too dark star turned to you and crouched down to your eye level, he opened his eyes to reveal beautiful almost pale blue eyes. “I am Shuǐjīng, the head of the bluecast council…” He smiled. 

“I’m Tinker…” You stook out your hand for him to shake. 

“No, what is your real name child?” He kept his gentle smile as he shook your hand. You worried as you turn to Dark Star, he nodded for you tell tell Shuǐjīng your real name.

“I-I’m [name]...” You diverted your gaze from him, still shy.

“Such a nice name, reminds me of an old family friend…” He got up from him crouching in front of you. “Pleasure meeting you…” 

“Come one Tinker, Shuǐjīng and Marble are probably busy yeah? Lets not hold them back.” Dark Star tugged on your sleeve arm and you nodded. Following along Dark Star, you let go of Shuǐjīng’s Hand forgetting to let go before, as both of you walked, you felt something small your hand. Opening it, you found a small round shaped diamond. 

“Dark Star look,” You held up your hand to show the Diamond. 

“Oh cool a diamond, it’s probably form Shuǐjīng, he has some weird crystal power or something it probably was just an accident, keep it.” Dark Star continued to walk ahead of you continuing on your adventure for the day. But as you walked, you had a weird hunch, you don’t know, like theres something more to Shuǐjīng that it seems. But it’s probably nothing… right?

Lazard was having one of those days when nothing seemed to go right. Overworked and underappreciated, he was on his way to grab some food, when for the 57th time that week, SOLDIER Zack Fair asked if he could get a puppy.

"Of course!" Lazard replied with a friendly smile on his face.

Later that day he was already paying for the meanest, most unhinged, most easily triggered, untrainable and bloodthirsty little chihuahua he could find. If there was a line between a pet and a demon, this little critter had crossed that line lightyears ago. None of its ancestors had a single redeeming quality.

How is Zack doing, as a pet owner?

Zack's best friends:

* Kunsel - basically a Turk and a SOLDIER combined.

* Cissnei - a Turk. A literal contract killer/gangster for a corporation.

* Cloud - a Nibel wolf/chocobo hybrid.

* Angeal - literally insane.

* Sephiroth - Sephiroth.

What is a dog? Man's best friend.

Roche: hey, how y'all...

"RARERWKKWJWJW"

Roche: *little kid scream* GET YO FUCKIN DOG, BITCH

Zack: It don't bite 😊

Roche: YES IT DO

Cloud: *chasing Roche with murderous intent because he drank the last of the milk*

Demon spawn dog: *laughing at the fun in its little demonic voice*

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

Later....

Lazard: Hello, brother, what brings you to my...off...ice...where's Darkstar?

Rufus: That's actually why I came down here, she's missing.

Lazard: I'm sorry to hear that, I'll put out a notice for the team.

*unholy sounds*

Rufus: ...

Lazard: ...

Darkstar and Demon spawn: *making friends and/or babies*

Rufus: ...why are its eyes glowing red like they're portals to hell?

Lazard: *SIGH* because they are. Literally. Science confirmed.

Zack: Cupcake! You found a girlfriend! THIS IS THE CUTEST THING EVER! *Taking pictures*

Cupcake:

----------

Later...

Sephiroth: Cupcake, my parents were soulless monsters too. I identify with you.

Cupcake: *demonic screeching*

Sephiroth: Yes, I agree, killing all humans would reduce the problems with them murdering each other, but then we would become the murderers. I'm just not up for it this evening.

Cupcake: *demon sounds*

Sephiroth: No thank you, I prefer fish.

Lazard: *pops pills, retreats*

----------

Genesis is constantly fighting the thing.

----------

Cloud can scream back at it and it understands. He claims to have learned from The Forest.

Nobody asks any more questions.

Zack loves it to the moon and back. ❤️🐶❤️

Angeal is crying in a closet somewhere.
