#didn't mean to rant with that but. yup. anyway

[wileycap]

PALPATINE: My dear boy. The only thing that we are discussing right now is what you want.

ANAKIN: Hm. Okay, world peace for Padmé, a Best Jedi mug for Obi-Wan - no, that's not me being bitchy, he literally will not accept a bigger gift...

PALPATINE: Yes, you shall have it all. Just -

ANAKIN: Oh, I'm not done. A billion... no, you know what, a trillion credits for Ahsoka, rights for the clones plus backpay and overtime for the war, full rights to their own genetic code, a special vode-only tribune that will investigate Kaminoans and natborn officers for sentient rights violations...

PALPATINE:

ANAKIN: ... slavery is to be abolished across the galaxy, I and any vode who want to join me will be sanctioned by the Republic to hunt down slavers, starting with Tatooine, hair cream for Windu - okay, that one is me being bitchy - and, well, I guess I'd want a fleet of the absolute best ships for me. As a treat.

PALPATINE: I see. Are you done?

ANAKIN: I guess. How soon can you deliver?

PALPATINE: Well. As it stands... it might... take some time.

ANAKIN: That's cool. You can get all the legal stuff done tomorrow, just call in a special session of the Senate, but I get that commissioning a fleet will take some time. I didn't even give you a list of models or anything.

PALPATINE: ... yes. I can't help but to think that you're disregarding your wife's safety here.

ANAKIN: Oh, no. I'm being smart.

PALPATINE: You are?

ANAKIN: Yup. Padmé is a completely healthy woman. Her pregnancy is very low risk. So, if she's going to die in childbirth, it's got to have something to do with the war, right? If we end the war, there's no danger to Padmé.

PALPATINE: Have you forgotten what I told you about Darth Plagueis the Wise?

ANAKIN: No, but if I use Sith Magic to save her, she's probably going to turn into a zombie or something. Trust me, Chancellor, I've seen it before.

PALPATINE: I'm afraid to ask, but where have you seen zombies?

ANAKIN: Eh, you can check my mission reports. Anyways, if you just hand me your credit chit, I can get to buying Obi-Wan that mug, giving Ahsoka the trillion and all that.

PALPATINE: Well, I...

ANAKIN: And if you don't want to go through with this, I'm definitely going to murder you right now. You being a Sith Lord and all that.

PALPATINE: Oh.

ANAKIN: Yeah.

PALPATINE: Well, here's my credit chit.

ANAKIN: Thanks, Sheev! Just one more question. What are you getting out of this?

PALPATINE: ... I'm going to declare myself Emperor and bring about the age of the Sith.

ANAKIN: Okay, that's cool.

PALPATINE: It... is?

ANAKIN: Sure. I mean, you basically are an emperor already, and we have freedom of religion. Just make sure that your Empire is strictly democratic, or else Padmé's going to be mad at me.

PALPATINE: I... what? The purpose of an Empire is to do away with democracy! Cut away the rot of bureaucracy!

ANAKIN: Chancellor, do you remember the conversation we had just now about me murdering you?

PALPATINE: Yes, but you hate the Republic too!

ANAKIN: I know, but work stuff can't come between me and Padmé. One of the rules of a successful marriage. Anyways, get it done. I gotta go buy a mug and some hair cream.

BREAKING NEWS!

PEACE! Supreme Chancellor / Emperor-Elect Sheev Palpatine has announced the immediate cessation of hostilities between the Republic and the CIS along with a slew of other groundbreaking proposals. The Supreme Chancellor stated that with the death of General Grievous...

The Coruscant Herald spoke with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, also known as the Negotiator.

"I've got this mug." said Master Kenobi, before launching into a protracted rant about the state of our democracy.

"I got back from Utapau, and Anakin tells me that he 'kind of' turned to the Dark Side. How do you 'kind of' turn? But now we have galactic peace. But we also have an Emperor. Well, in three days we will have an Emperor. But the Emperor is going to have less power than the Supreme Chancellor has right now, and they're the same person. Not to mention that he's the Sith. My entire life has turned into a philosophical nightmare on whether the ends justify the means, and it's all being personified by this blasted mug." ...

Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo had a brief conversation with the Herald.

"Well, I think of it like a retirement present. A lifetime achievement award. He is an older man, and no doubt he'll abdicate in due time. This will be an interesting footnote in the history of the Republic." ...

Spokesbeing for the Shmi Skywalker Foundation, Anakin Skywalker spoke at length with our reporter.

"Well, we at the Shmi Skywalker Foundation offer only two things: freedom to slaves and death to slavers. And sometimes imprisonment to slavers, because Obi-Wan and Padmé were pretty adamant about that. And also financial aid, legal aid, housing, therapy, et cetera. For the freed people. So I guess we offer more than two things, but they're all good things."

"Sheev? Sheev is great. A nice old man. I think he's going to abdicate in, oh, three years or so? [Editor's Note: Transcript is garbled due to the Emperor-Elect coughing suddenly.] [...Yo]u need a glass of water, Sheev? Get him - yeah, one of you red guys, get him a glass of water. You're not a young man anymore, Sheev. Yeah, I think he'll abdicate within three years."

Emperor-Elect Sheev Palpatine declined to comment at this time.

an update on bringing ckc to google play

this is partially a rant and partially an update on how porting ckc has been, ((it's probably very boring so feel free to read the tldr)). after having gotten the entire pa series on the platform i thought this'd go smoother, but i guess i was wrong. every time we submitted the game for review we were notified of an issue (which is fair, google's got policies and standards and whatnot, that's okay, and these were very fixable, albeit, required a lot of guessing and checking given how vague the issue notifications were, i'm just frustrated with the last issue):

issue 1: inaccurate target audience. google play presumed the game was for kids for two reasons: "animated characters in the app icon" and "multiple references to keywords related to children" in the app description. which means can't have cody in the icon (i tried a few different versions of the icon where i tried to make him look less toony, but had to resort to using the ckc logo because it seemed google just wasn't having it, though it's hard to tell with how vague their emails were). i also removed as many instances of the word "kid" as possible (so yup, can't talk about cool kids in the app description). thankfully they didn't make me change the game's name too. after a few resubmissions they've notified us of a new issue.

issue 2: violation of misleading claims policy. okay this was my bad, the changed icon was reflected in the google play store but not the app itself. fixed this real quick, and then they hit me with another warning.

issue 3: violation of broken functionality policy, "app installs but doesn't load". the game does load on every testing environment we use, on our own phones, we can make in-app purchases and everything. we kinda saw this coming though since we were issued this warning with all the purrfect apawcalypse games. a lot of other devs who use renpy have also complained about this. andy and i are pretty convinced this is an issue on google's end, but no matter how much pestering the renpy community does it seems like google's not interested in trying to work with us to fix this. purrfect apawcalypse seemed to be approved randomly after spamming submissions, so we kind of assume something about google's testing environment depends on... what tester you got? the time of day you submit? the freakin' weather? we planned to submit ckc for review again until:

issue 4: violation of enforcement process policy. app status: "suspended". yup, hours after getting an email about issue #3, cool kid cody got suspended because of "repeated app rejections". surprising, given we submitted ckc a total of 7 times, which i just didn't think was a lot given the dozens of times we submitted purrfect apawcalypse.

there was no heads up from google, no "you've got 1 submission left", no real back and forth with a human, which i guess is to be expected from the giant machine that is google but man, i would've loved if someone emailed us saying "HEY DUMBASS, you keep submitting this game but we have an issue with THIS part specifically, this word here, this part of the image here", instead of the same "app installs, but doesn't load" vague bs. give us something to help us fix the issue. i'm happy to fix it, just give me a logcat or something damn.

anyway, all this is to say i'm pretty disappointed with this whole process. i've submitted an appeal and if that doesn't work then at least google told us "you can submit an updated, policy compliant app using a new package name and a new app name". (so i guess we might have to change the app's name anyway? who knows). what's sad is this game was so ready, and why was this an issue with ckc but not pa? maaaaaaaaan.

tldr: we're having trouble getting cool kid cody on google play, we put in an appeal but there's just no knowing when ckc will be approved if ever.

Chapter 3: Did We Just Become Best Friends?

Ch. 2

Hey Tim, 

Do you just go by Tim? No fun nicknames? Timbo, Timote, Timberlake? 

Fear not, new bestie, I'll come up with something. Everyone deserves a cool nickname.

I'm sorry that my letter was a surprise. Thinking back, the website was a bit outdated - I guess I didn't notice. If you’re rethinking it or not interested in talking to a random stranger now that you’re older and wiser - poor young Timmy :( - I’d understand and you can stop reading right now. No strings attached, no hard feelings, just crumple up the paper and throw it away.

– 

But if you keep reading….

Yup, it's too late now. We're officially friends. It's like it was meant to be, because I seriously don't know anyone else who will be able to read your handwriting like I can. (joking…kinda.) I only had to turn the paper sideways like twice. I got the jist. 

You're brothers seem fun. You mentioned them a few times, I bet you have tons of stories. Did you want siblings before you were adopted? I know that I always wished for a few when I was little. They're like built in friends! What's not to love, right?

As for my game, I'll absolutely let you play. It's still in the beginning stages and I'm mapping out the story, but once I have that down it'll be smooth sailing (hopefully). Because you were so nice in your letter, I'll even tell you a little about it. Itsloosely based on a D&D game I played with my friends, so basically an open world, choose your own adventure kind of story. And since you're doing computer science, maybe you can help me with bugs and stuff while i'm working on it? Two letters in and I'm already using you for free labor, but don't worry I'll give you your own credit at the end. I can see it now…

 

Game Creator, Writer, Designer, Director, Editor, Publisher: Quinnley Rose 

(Now imagine the screen scrolling… a lot of scrolling - like the screen just keeps going and going while cute music plays and little animals dance around the screen, and then finally, at the bottom right before it fades to black and goes back to the main menu…)

The Help: Timberly (or whatever nickname we decide on, still a work in progress until I know more about you)

  

I probably shouldn't be joking so much with someone who knows three types of material arts…. But really, THREE Timmy? Seriously, you couldn't stop at just one? I sense a bit of an overachiever over here, I knew this was all too good to be true. But actually, why three? I get we live in Gotham, but that's still a bit overboard. (plz dont karate chop me for asking) 

You do kinda make up for it with the coffee recs though. The cafe I used to go to got bought out by the penguin. It was called Latte Fever, on Park Ave. He must have skimped out on the coffee beans and ordered from somewhere cheaper once he got it though because the coffee is complete ass now. Plus the baristas are so mean and they can never spell my name right. How hard is Quinn? Somehow they always throw a W in there. Like how? Where do you hear a W, I need to know. Anyway, excuse my (very well founded) rant… know anywhere near downtown that's good? Maybe we can go together when we start school.

As for your incredibly well thought out questions about my powers of choice, I'd be happy to elaborate. In my perfect world, where I have these powers and there's equal rights and world peace, I wouldn't age when I stopped time. It would basically be a full pause on everything, but my body and brain would continue to function. All aging, sickness, or processes would freeze too and I'd be free to go about my business. Think of all the pranks I’d be able to pull, it would be beautiful. So going with that, I'd say time would have to universally stop, since there would be contingencies and problems if time stopped in one city, but kept going somewhere else. I'd imagine that if I stopped it enough, Gotham would end up being stuck in the dark ages while everywhere else progressed. Uhh what else? Oh yeah, I don't think anyone would know about the time stops, just me. It makes it more fun. Now the real question is, would I be able to stop time with someone else? That's an interesting idea. (and yes, Timberella, I would let you have a turn too if it worked)

Also your Robin crush is sooo cute. I also went through a BIG hero phase. (I think we all did). I was a Nightwing girl though, but can you blame me? The man is fine as hell. I do like that you think regular people can be heroes though,  it makes the title a bit more special. 

And lastly, but certainly most importantly, your question. 

Of course pineapple does NOT belong on pizza. What kind of animal do you think I am? 

If I hear that you're a pineapple supporter, I might need to cease all communication right now. I don’t think I could get over it. We would be too different. 

Now for my question: Is a hotdog a sandwich?

I’ll need a detailed explanation to back up your answer. 

For real though, thanks for writing back. This is nice, and I hope we can keep talking. Checking the mailbox each day has helped with the whole, all my friends are gone thing. Hope it's helping you too. 

All blues, no clues, 

Quinn

-

Hope you enjoyed! What do we think Tim's nickname should be? Should we pick one or are we liking the variety? Let me know!

Check out the other chapters on my ao3, here!

[aleatoire-aleatoire]

oh WELL!

Since @queer-froggit asked it SO Nicely…

Here's the rant on…

"How Nightmare!Sans's perfect girlfriend is an overpowered woman"!

But too just give points won't really work to make you understand… after all, we might have different head-cannon about him!

So instead!

Let's make Corrupted-Nightmare!Sans's perfect girlfriend! (Yup. That anti-people guy)

First of, the type of relationship:

- toxic: anyone. He's deceiving, manipulative, controlling: those are red flags in a human. He got dead flags(ex: sadistic, cruel, blood-thirsty,…)

- sexual: not everyone one, but eh, I'm not interested. It just feels boring without deep feelings.

- healthy: this is more interesting. A really small group of people can get that, and even then he can still not get with them.

So now, we know we(by that I mean me) want Nightmare!Sans to have a healthy relationship with his girlfriend.

Now, what are his taste? Don't know, don't care! Because he'll probably say he'll like:

a submissive/dependent person so they'll be easy to control

someone who is weak so they can't fight back

someone with low self esteem/lacks confidence = Negativity battery

If by reading the above you thought that his perfect girlfriend is the opposite of the above, then you guess it right!

To be in a healthy relationship, he'll have:

someone who's independent(they won't fall for his trick)

someone who's stronger than him or is equally as strong(so he can't kill them)

someone who values themselves(cuz you can't love someone if you don't even love yourself!)

So yeah,

That's basically it.

Now, let's make a character that fits the above:

Name: whatever name you want

Family name: doesn't matter/doesn't have one cuz of lore

Power:

the ability to be fast as sound(so they can dodge Nightmare or his tentacles)

the ability to master fighting(so they can fight back if needed[will be needed])

additional power(recommend immortality)

Personality: a joyful person. has gone through hardship and may have let their dark side over but realised how even when you're sad, everything still move on. Works their hardest for the best award. Is naturally independent.

Flaw: either is a monster fucker, has a tentacle fetish, or is colour blind.

And here you go, his perfect girlfriend!

[although Nightmare!Sans doesn't have a definite sexuality, he'll probably date a woman because of his old mentality. Of course, you can make him gay. I ain't stopping you!!]

"But where's the overpowered part?" You ask.

"uh. Isn't nightmare the embodiment of negativity?" I say.

Nightmare is strong and his gf is stronger.

Obviously, his gf is seen as overpowered!

Now, don't forget what I said at the very beginning… even if they're perfect, doesn't mean he'll date them. Heck, he might see them as his nemesis!

Cuz mf unpredictable and evil.

He WILL miss the opportunity to be happy and loved, If he believes he can achieve world domination.

And we can't change that about him.

I don't know what you'll do, but I would let him do what he wants.

It won't be MY fault he didn't get a happy ending like his subordinate. HE didn't even TRY to get to know the hundreds and hundreds of perfect matches I CREATED for HIM, dude. Let him cry. He deserves it anyway.

Also, I MIGHT start posting some little scenarios without saying who's talking. Or just random post. I want to lie a lil.

This is gone full circle now.

Well….

Goodbye Bad Batch! It’s been a pleasure!

(I’m still crying)

[maoisarap]

hello rumi ! I wanted to ask you about something for a while now but I didn't know how to approach it so sorry if this is a bit sudden >_> I noticed the part in your pinned about femstars, but you have the tag muted/blocked right? since I sometimes interact with content like that (moooostly art)

I also tend to use he/she on both mugi and natsu too, so I was wondering if that was also under the umbrella of femstars stuff ^w^

i have had the tag blocked since day one of making the account, so yup!

you're fine with the pronouns thing, don't worry! and to be honest with the femstars stuff, it's more so the like full-on all-classic-girl looking thing that a decent amount of the fandom portrays/portrayed femstars as... seeing the stuff feed the voices in my mind, and then dysphoria kicks in, which causes the trigger attacks and... yeah- slsjs that's why i have femstars in the thingie.

thanks for not judging about it <3 the fandom can be pretty toxic to those who have a distaste in anyway to femstars and it's horrible (as you more than likely know.)

(i already got called transphobic and sexist for this ages ago, and that hurts because i support all and love all, i just can't deal with ~femstars~ i feel uncomfortable with genderbend in general because of statement above- i can't help that i get these feelings because i'm nonbinary and such and have issues sjssj)

i did not mean to rant, sorry–

[skayafair]

I watched 2 episodes of Dead Boy Detectives and I'm sorry but I need to rant on the relationship part for a bit.

It's too early for me to have a proper opinion on it yet, I'm aware, but the tension was so palpable I had to go and check what it results in. And - "importance of male platonic friendships and love"? Yeah no shit it's important, I'm all for it! But "get over your romantic feelings and force it to become platonic"? I can't get behind this take I'm afraid.

First, I don't like the take itself. Romantic can naturally change to platonic, it's a good thing in my opinion (oh I WISH I could control it like that!). But I can't see how whatever Edwin is going through can go this way in a span of a few episodes or even in-series months (he had this crush for decades ffs). It's going to be a very painful journey, and "get over it" is far too real of a struggle for us queers anyway. I really don't wanna see it in media, too.

If they really wanted to write a good close friendship, hell, even something like a QPR, the choice of the way the scenes are set is really not it. It makes me root for the romantic outcome, and I'm usually ALL FOR a platonic one. Even in Resident Alien s1 the main characters relationship were lead as romantic-ish and then turned platonic later, but it didn't feel weird to me because s1 still had enough of a room for this change? It was pretty ambiguos. I mean yeah I'm aroace spec so I'm not great at differentiating, I usually miss any romantic cues even in media, let alone irl, but this only proves my point! Because these 2 episodes I've seen very strongly lead to the romantic route just by the way they are designed?

So of fucking course it's going to feel disappointing if the endgame is "platonic friendship". That isn't how you do it.

There IS a very good example of deep platonic relationship between men (well, sort of - one of them is an entity who's on his way to becoming one... so far at least) and it's Malevolent podcast. It was never intended to be anything but friendship (once it was decided that the entity isn't going to be a complete villain after all), and yup it's a deep loving relationship - just not romantic. I know plenty of people headcanon the characters as gay - that's fine, why not, - but from my aroace-spec pov, the canon never led anyone to think so, explicitly or not. The way it's written is the very definition of QPR in my book (albeit sort of toxic one but they are working on this), and the creator has been saying it's friendship from the very beginning. The fandom is flooded with aro/ace folks for this specific reason - it's platonic, and it reads this way.

THIS I'm very much on board with.

So yeah I really like the DBD series so far - I like the way it's shot, the visuals are just heavenly, it looks so comfy! The dialogues, the interactions - everything's great. That's what I wanted from Lockwood and Co! (I'm a fan of the books.) But this one thing is something I have a beef with.

Ok two things because initially it looked like Crystal was crushing on Niko (Nico?) and it turned out to be just some sprites, ugh(

[barbatoskisser]

Thanks to the fact a majority of my knowledge of conditions I have comes from drifting around the Internet, I feel like everyone should get a book on stuff like diagnoses people can have. I spent too long thinking I was clingy or too sensitive but no, people with ADHD have Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria. Didn't mean to vent here, I just wanted someone else to share this with who isn't going to be an ass.

Oh no absolutely!! Yeah i cpmplwtwly understand

I didnt know rejection sensitivity dysphoria qas a thing until likr i started being online more

The internet *can* be a wonderful place and its honestly great your helping discover yourself! (And thinga that well, explain to you hkw you are is totally normal. Or, in some cases, make you totally unique xd)

Also yeah same here about the sensitive bit xd

Whenever people criticize me i either get really emnarrassed or flustered (--not in the cute way. In the "im really sorry i didnt know i made a blunder- word vomit way) or i just straight up intenrnally cry. Sonetimes both! I used to -- and still somrtimez do -- use those "criticsms" to shape me into a person that that person deems like a good friend or a good person to make it so they dont leave me or something

Ahem sorry for thw rant

Anyway, yup! Totally agree!

Blood On Mirrors

(A 13th Reality Short)

Hello Dear Readers, I hope you like this first attempt on posting one of my short stories.

Warning: Contains Violence and Gore.

It was a soft night, filled with stormy clouds that covered the night sky and extinguished the light of the stars. The New Moon and stars would never shine tonight. This had to be yet the darkest night on September 29th. The wind picked up, and red leaves were gently blown out of the trees, carried away softly in the rumbling and still growling storm.

With a few drops, the rain started to fall, gently trickling and wetting the window glass panels of the house as Clarisse looked out at the rain finally starting to pour down. It was going to be a downpour in a few, of that she was sure.

"Yeesh. Good thing we came earlier and got to enjoy outside while it lasted. Not sure if we'd be up to do anything if we waited until dark," spoke a female voice behind.

Clarisse smiled at her friend's confirmation as she turned and looked at her group of 5 girl friends and her little sister, all about her age and all in high school close to graduating, with the exception of her sister who was still in the 9th grade in middle school. This was going to be a fun night, she thought. She loved autumn.

Clarisse could never ask for more from this season's year than a nice chilly weather with beautiful falling red leaves and a cozy warm house. A time of the year where she could just sit and relax and enjoy the view while drinking her warm chocolate. And what's better than not only enjoying a chilly weather in a warm cozy place than a night with your friends? A Girl's only night, that's for sure.

"Do you think the pizza delivery will make it in time?" Spoke Jannice as she sipped on her glass of cold cola.

"I bet they will arrive all soaking wet for when the storm actually picks up," hyped up Hannah with a giggle as she braided her own long smooth blonde hair.

"Eh, I just hope our pizzas don't get soaked," sighed Ingrid as she just laid there bored. "Man, I wish we could have a bond fire outside. Waiting inside is boring," she commented while trying to readjust her curly brown hair.

Clarisse looked at Ingrid. "Yeah, but with how the wind is picking up outside, we'd not only get wet but also our fire would go out, you doofus. Besides, what are WE supposed to do outside when it is almost pitch black in the backyard?"

"Idk girl, tell stories? Play cards, anything? You know how much I love the outside air," Ingrid scoffed a bit as she turned from lying on her back to lying on her belly.

"Hey, did you guys listen to the new album Mr. Gol'D released?" Piped up Patricia in interruption as she bounced excitedly.

"That guy? You mean that very flamboyant singer," responded Clarisse's little sister, Rebecca, as she sipped on her mug of hot caramel chocolate.

"Yup!! The one and only!" Replied Patricia.

The other girls all looked at each other and expressed their opinions about how they didn't have time to get a good listen to the music but had to guess it could be good.

"Oh my god!! You guys really should give it a try when you get the chance. It's so good!!" Patricia kept talking.

Rebecca, a little annoyed with the rant about this celebrity, "What's the big deal of him anyway? He's just a celebrity. I don't see how you guys even drool over him," she shrugged, unamused.

"What?! Pssh! Are you kidding?! Heeelloooo??? Have you seen how HOT that guy is?! Plus he is an AMAZING SINGER!!!" Ash scoffed in bafflement.

"Yeah.. but unfortunately who cares?" Asked Rebecca.

Clarisse chuckled, "probably your mother-" she joked.

"Hardy har har. Also, Sis, you forgot that WE SHARE THE SAME MOTHER, IDIOT. The yo mama jokes won't even work," Rebecca said snarkily.

Clarisse shut her mouth, her face flushed in embarrassment as her joke backfired really hard.

All the other girls chuckled and got to enjoy chatting about all sorts of things, from games to food opinions, to about school and even about the boys in the class. It Wasn't long until the rain picked up and eventually so did the ding dong sound of the doorbell.

"Oh! That must be our pizza!" Clarisse spoke as she got up, and the girls seemed to get excited by the minute.

She got up and headed to the front door of the house and opened it, debit card in hand.

She immediately was greeted by a young-looking man in a red uniform holding 2 pizza boxes. "Hey, is this Clarisse Mayforth's house? The order's for pepperoni and Hawaiian?" He spoke up.

Clarisse felt her face grow red as she spoke in a slightly smaller voice. "The one and only. Thanks for the delivery," she said as she took the pizza boxes from him and handed out the debit card.

The man quickly swiped the debit card on the machine and handed it to her. "Alright, that will be $56.30. Go ahead and put in the password," he spoke as he tried to shield himself from the rain.

Clarisse gently pressed the buttons and eventually started paying up for the pizza delivery.

"Alright ma'am, have a nice meal," he spoke as he started to head out and take the ride on the now wet motorcycle.

Clarisse waved with a small, dumb smile on her face as she headed back to the other girls with the pizzas.

"Guuuuurl, you're looking awfully blushy there," teased Ingrid as she chuckled.

"So who was it? Was he a cute guy?" Asked Ash with peek interest as all the girls wooed and awed at Clarisse blushing, Rebecca only quickly taking the pizza slice the moment the pizza boxes were settled down.

"H-he was very cute, yeah.. But I forgot to ask his name," she said shamefully.

"Awww, that's too bad," Patricia said. "Maybe next time you ask him," she comforted her friend.

All the other girls nodded in agreement and got to enjoy a nice pizza dinner as they drank and talked together. They chatted and played card and board games for a few hours, but it didn't take long for them to start talking about spooky horror stories and even urban legends.

"Have you guys heard of that one legend of the Lady in the red dress?" Spoke Hannah.

The girls and Clarisse looked at Hannah in curiosity.

"So, rumors say that on full moon nights that are the most misty, you'd hear the gentle sound of a violin accompanied by soft melodic opera singing at exactly midnight. People say that the people who hear her singing will become entranced by her singing and will go after her to join in the duet...only to vanish within the mist." Hannah kept telling the urban legend as she saw how intrigued the girls were. "Stories say that she is the ghost of a singer who once drowned on a misty night, and she is singing, trying to find her loved one, that she left in life and hopes he'd soon come for her and join her in the misty grave," she concluded.

"That's really depressing. Dying a horrible death and wandering around aimlessly trying to find your loved one so he can be with you at last..." Jannice stated. Hannah and Rebecca both nodded.

"Well girls, have you all heard of the bath game?" Asked Patricia as she glanced at the group.

Clarisse perked up. "Wait, isn't this one about summoning a spirit or demon by washing your hair and speaking its name and telling it to rise 3 or 5 times?" She said in a dreadful tone.

Patricia nodded. "I did the bath game!" She confidently claimed.

The girls awed and stared at her. "How was it?!" Asked Ash, oozing with excitement to just know. She wanted all the details; Clarisse couldn't blame her. She was the horror girl for a reason.

"Nothing really happened, except I almost got a heart attack by almost slipping on the dropped soap. Now THAT was scarier, I could've died if I had slammed my head on the edge of the sink." Patricia explained as she visibly shuddered.

"Hah, I knew it! I knew that game was a hoax!" Exclaimed Clarisse, and everyone looked at her with 'seriously?' looks.

"What? Everyone makes such a big deal out of these silly games as if the spirits were real and were going to haunt you. I'm telling you, they are nothing but stupid challenges to scare your scaredy-cat friends..." noticing Jannice's glare, "No offense, Jannice."

"Sigh, none taken," Jannice said as she shook her head.

"Oh, come on, don't be a party pooper! What's a little fun if you just believe them for the time being?" Asked Hannah.

"Ugh, it is silly, I admit, but I can't deny it is fun to see the look on your faces when you think the place is haunted." Clarisse grinned.

"So what? You're not scared of ghosts?" Hannah asked, "Sounds lame," she added.

"To be honest, I'm more scared of serial killers or possible robbers. Genuinely vile people are scarier than ghouls and monsters from legends... after all, they're very much more real than those we talk about to be scared on Halloween nights," Clarisse reasoned, "And besides, I have to be fair, even if ghosts are real, what else can they do to you? Not like they can harm you or anything if they're dead already." She mentioned.

"Yeah, but I've heard stories of demons being able to possess and do some really spooky stuff. Like some real down bad shiii-" Ash quickly trailed as Clarisse glared, "I mean some real down bad nasty things."

Clarisse put away her glare as she had to be the girls' filter when it came to cussing around her little sister. Ash being the sailor mouth of the most made the task more annoying.

"I think I have a game we might be able to play since we're talking about horror ones," commented Ingrid as she looked at her phone. It was about 11:00 hours. it wouldn't be long until midnight.

"Wuzzup?" says Ash, her ears already perking as she grinned excitedly, not wasting the opportunity to jump into the game. Rebecca had perked up from her phone as her curiosity had drawn her to listen closely.

"Why don't you guys try the Bloody Mary Ritual? It'd be a fun scare, especially if the light goes out in the storm and scares the c-r-a-p out of us," Ingrid suggested.

"Huh, now that you mention it, it'd be fun, yes, but isn't there like.. specific requirements for the ritual?" asked Patricia as she sipped on her drink.

Clarisse could only stare at her friends with a 'seriously?' then look at the already starting to get nervous Jannice with a 'can you believe these people?' stare, which Jannice shook her head. Clarisse knew that Jannice was the one who hated horror the most; she would do anything to avoid being involved in any sort of games.

"Yeah, I mean.. there are a lot of versions of the ritual, but I know the one that would match perfectly for this weather," Ash grinned as she got up. "So who's with me!?"

Hannah and Patricia excitedly got up and joined Ash; Rebecca looked at the girls then at her sister and thought, wouldn't hurt to try; the worst could just be a prank. She smiled as she put her phone in her pocket and approached, "I'm in!!" Rebecca affirmed.

"Alright, first step we need is 3 candles and one match. Clarisse and Rebecca, the house is yours so go fetch them, and let's use the master bedroom's bathroom for this, oh and Ingrid? please keep Jannice some company please." Ash guided as the two sisters went to the cabinets and started to pick the candles. Ingrid could only sigh, sad she wouldn't be able to participate and see but shew knew Jannice would not want to be alone.

"Remember, we need one of them to be a big thick candle while two have to be small," Ash instructed as she observed.

Clarisse nodded as she changed to different candles. "Are these good enough?" She asked.

"Perfect!" Ash beamed. "Now let's go!" She led the way to the master's bedroom with the girls behind her.

"Alright, step one ready, done," Ash exclaimed, but upon noticing the confusion on the girls' faces, she coughed her throat and inhaled, "This version of the ritual has to be done at night, more specifically a NEW MOON night and preferably with weather that should cover the stars so it is as dark as possible. Which we already have something like that tonight," she explained.

"Ooohhhhh" reacted the others.

"Alright, step 2, close the blinds in the bedroom; we don't want the storm flashing lights to interrupt. We want this as dark as possible," Ash explained as Hannah moved to close the blinds.

"Step 3, let's fill the bathtub and sink with water. Make sure the drain holes are plugged," Ash instructed as she got into the bathroom, turning on the lights so they could see and started plugging both the sink and bathtub.

Patricia turned on the sink and let it run and fill with water; she started to turn on the faucet too, filling the bathtub with water. "Remember, we want the water hot. So make sure it is the hot one you turned on. We need steam," she instructed excitedly.

Patricia nodded and was making sure the steam was coming from the water. The girls all went through step by step... making sure it was dark, so they closed the master bedroom's door so the rest of the house's light coming from the living room and hallway wouldn't disrupt their game, closing the blinds as well to prevent any light from outside streets or the storm from shining through, leaving only the bathroom with running water to flow and fill the sink completely with cold water and the bathtub halfway with hot steamy water.

"Alright, that's enough. Now light the smaller candles and place them on top of the sink in front of the mirror," Ash instructed as she watched the girls use the matches and light two of the smaller candles and place them in front of the mirror and on top of the sink. "Perfect," beamed Ash.

"Ok, now what?" Asked Rebecca. This isn't what she expected.

Clarisse thought all of these steps were a bit silly for just summoning a ghost in the mirror that wouldn't even show up.

Ash took a small paper and gently slid it on her finger quickly, causing her finger to form a small droplet of blood.

"Whoa, girl, are you sure this is necessary?" Asked Clarisse as Ash started to squeeze her finger so the blood would be big enough to drop off her finger. Once it did, it simply dripped into the almost overflowing sink. "Yup. Just one drop is fine. I'm fully aware it will sting a lot in the early morning," Ash hissed a bit before looking at the mirror and holding the big main candle.

"Alright, last step. We'll turn off the lights and be engulfed in the dark and then turn on the last candle... and the usual thing with the Bloody Mary ritual we all are familiar with. Speak her name 5 times, and we should wait. It should be close to midnight, so we need to do this," Ash spoke as everyone else nodded.

Clarisse turned off the lights and lit up the match, lighting up the last candle which was still being held by Ash.

Ash grinned as the girls all looked at the reflection of themselves in the bathroom mirror. The room and night were as dark as it gets, the only dim light illuminating just enough to prevent them from tripping in the dark were the 3 candles held by the girls, their flames gently flickering and the wax melting softly.

"Bloody Mary," started chanting the girls in unison, their different pitched voices all in sync like a hymn.

"Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary... Bloody Mary," chanted the girls, repeating the name over and over, Hannah and Ash speaking with bated breaths to the silent suspense.

Clarisse would only roll her eyes occasionally at how very into it her friends and her little sister were.

A crack of thunder growled outside like an angry god before a loud clap of lightning was heard, making the girls all jump before breaking into nervous laughter and teasing each other. Clarisse had to admit that scare really caught her off guard and was pretty good.

They all sighed and inhaled sharply before looking back at the mirror and saying "Bloody Mary."

Then Ash waited for a moment and looked at the clock. Midnight, perfect. Right on time for the last call. She beamed before inhaling and blowing out the 2 candles, snuffing out more of the light except the main one.

"So... what now?" Asked Rebecca, expecting everything to be so silent except for their own breathing, voices, and heartbeats being heard.

Ash grinned as she turned to the girls. "Now we wait for a minute. If she doesn't show up, then oh well, it was fun doing that!" She explained.

All the other girls looked confused, but they sort of just waited... seconds turned to a minute... then a minute turned into 2... then 2 minutes turned into 3...

"Agh, this is boring," said Rebecca. "Well, that was worth the shot. That lightning was definitely unexpected," she expressed as Rebecca used her phone and tried to make her way to the light switch.

Clarisse sighed disappointedly. Just as she was about to get into the mood of things, it all flopped into disappointment.

Ash shrugged as Hannah and Patricia watched the youngest go for the light switch.

Click? Click click click? was the sound of the light switch being moved and clicked around, but no light followed.

"Huh, weird, it won't turn on," Rebecca expressed her confusion.

"Maybe our power went out after that lightning," theorized Clarisse. "Good thing we have an emergency generator to get it back and running when storms like this do that," she said confidently as she headed out of the bathroom, using her phone's light to head to the master's bedroom.

Clarisse walked to the door and tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. She started to get more forceful with the door, but it was firmly shut and locked.

"What the? Did any of you girls lock the bedroom door?" Clarisse asked with an annoyed voice. "Because like... really? Locking the door was the best you could come up with for a prank? Pretty tasteless if I have to say so myself."

Rebecca peeked out and looked at her sister. "What are you talking about? You were the one to close the bedroom door," Rebecca replied, confused about what her sister was on about.

"Yeah, and none of us have the key to the bedroom. This is your house, bruh," replied Patricia as she came over and tried her luck with the door, but nothing.

Ash opened her mouth to speak but noticed with each breath she took, a fine mist would gently trail away as if the room had gotten colder and colder and colder... The hairs on her back bristled as her skin became gooseflesh.

"G-guys? Did you notice this room and the bathroom are getting colder?" Ash stammered, not wanting to believe it was really happening. It had to be fear making her experience things.

Clarisse looked at Ash then exhaled to see, only for her eyes to grow wide as she could see the fine mist of hot breath against cold air shine in her phone's light. This can't be real... they have to be pulling her leg with the thermostat, Clarisse reasoned with herself.

All the girls immediately turned silent as the smell of copper and rusted iron filled the air, and the sound of the bathtub's faucet starting to run caused the silence to be broken and pregnant with dread.

"I-I'll turn it off," stammered Hannah as she quickly headed back to the room.

Clarisse nodded as she followed Hannah with her phone's light to illuminate the bath. Ash was not too far behind, still carrying the very much still lit candle.

As the gang went into the bathroom, they found the source of the smell... somehow, the water in the bathtub had turned into a very vivid and deep scarlet, almost an even deeper maroon... of blood. And the faucet? Blood flowed out like a river, gently filling the tub even more with blood. The girls gasped, and Hannah immediately ran out as the pungent smell of blood was staggering in the air.

Hannah could only gag as the smell of blood overwhelmed her nose, which hated the scent of gore. She felt like she was ready to puke.

Clarisse quickly leaned in and turned off the faucet, her hands trembling as her breath shook, trying to recover herself only to catch something on the corner of her eye and instantly turning around and shining her light. If her skin couldn't get any paler and her eyes wider... she never imagined that this would be the thing that proved that it could get worse.

The bathroom mirror was pitch black and did not give much visible reflection of Clarisse and her friend Ash. Instead, it looked like an endless pitch dark sky with a few twinkling shines that looked like faded stars... Aside from that, what flowed out from the black mirror was a deep viscous crimson red liquid that flowed out from the mirror as if the mirror was leaking the liquid itself.

It flowed and stained the tiles and sink and even the water in the sink. The mirror bled, and it wouldn't stop.

Clarisse held her breath as she couldn't believe her eyes, and yet she couldn't deny the reality as Ash gasped in shock at the mirror and stood back.

"M-Mary actually is here," Ash muttered, her voice barely being a whisper. She took a few steps back, not wanting to be in the bathroom anymore and just wanting to get out of there.

Clarisse started to see the image of a pale figure emerge from the black mirror, covered in hair as black as night and the head wearing a big full crown made out of thorny branches... Blood gently flowed out and dripped from the wet soaked hair and stained the flawless pale skin... as if it had come out from swimming in blood... the hair simply covering its eyes and barely leaving any visibility to see one's true face.

Clarisse screamed the moment the figure started to push itself out of the mirror, the mirror having tension break and ripple as if it were merely made out of water or any thick liquid... its crowned head gently pushing out of the mirror and its very long and soaked, wet in blood hair flopping out, as it slowly but surely started to crawl out of the mirror, like a clumsy and living corpse.

Clarisse bolted out of the bathroom and started to bang on the door, screaming heavily in an attempt to get the attention of Ingrid or maybe Jannice to help them get out of the room. Rebecca actually started to tear up as she saw her big sister panicking worse than a little kid scared of the boogeyman.

Hannah backed to the door and tried to help Clarisse open it. To no avail, it wouldn't give in.

Ash was frozen as her hand trembled and her tears flowed out as the candle gave just enough light for her eyes to spot a bit of movement coming from the bathroom.

Patricia was hugging Rebecca as well, feeling frozen like a deer before headlights.

All girls quietly whimpered as they went silent once they heard a pained moaning sound... all 5 girls in the room dreaded at the sound of the 6th unwanted visitor.

Mary's voice was like that of an injured animal, pained and lonely and laced with nearing death. Mary moaned and whimpered and silently let her small cries that sounded like a lull, a hymn of death. It limped its way out of the bathroom, with its hip moving as if the hip bone was dislocated. The very long black hair stained in deep maroon crimson blood dragged on the floor behind like a cape soaking wet from the rain.

Two of the girls started to scream in panic at the sight of Bloody Mary herself, while three of them just froze, unable to get their flight or fight response.

Mary had a beautiful flawless pale white skin that was unnatural, almost porcelain-like, her long shaggy yet slick and smooth wet black hair draped back but had two long thick strands that covered her inhuman busty chest, leaving streaks of blood staining her flawless features that would remove her from being human. She almost looked like a mannequin due to the lack of features that would make skin or natural flaws, not even a belly button was seen from her naked glistening body that shined a bit under the pale light of the lit candle.

Mary slowly lifted her head and revealed her plump lips that spread apart forming a wide shy smile... the smile was unnaturally wide, filled with very sharp needle-like teeth that also glinted in the dim light, the hair still covering most of the eyes.

Mary limped towards the girls in an unnatural movement as her moaning and whimpering and crying kept echoing despite her mouth forming a mockery of a smile.

Hannah decided right there and then she'd not die here, and proceeded to run across the room, straight to the window, quickly opening it and self-defenestrating in hopes to get away from that thing.

"No!!!" screamed Clarisse as she held out her hand to Hannah, unable to stop her friend in time... the sounds of the howling winds outside flapping the curtains and pouring down rain could only mask so much the heavy thud and the faint crack outside.

Mary was now mere centimeters away from Ash, Rebecca, and Patricia as she hissed and blew out the candle.

Everything went completely dark except for the few flashing lights of lightning outside. The first to scream bloody murder was Ash as she struggled. The second to scream was Patricia who fought tooth and nail to get Mary off of her, but alas... Mary's inhuman screeches filled the room as then both Clarisse and Rebecca screamed and were quickly silenced... The night went on quietly. Meanwhile.. Ingrid and Jannice both looked at each other once they heard a loud thud and a crash followed by glass shattering coming from the backyard, and weird noises coming from the master's bedroom upstairs. Ingrid thought the girls were pranking Clarisse, but to hear glass breaking while she is here keeping the scared one company, now that was a real concern.

Ingrid nodded to her friend Jannice, as both paused the movie that they barely started, and got up from the couch and headed to the kitchen then to the back door of the house, turning on the lights as they did so. The rain was quite heavy but nothing like turning on the porch's light would do.

Both girls froze looking at the window as they saw Hannah's body laying completely still as her spine was bent awkwardly on the frame of the glass table that once rested outside now remaining shattered and its glass shards piercing her skin in different places.

Jannice quickly went outside to the porch, screaming Hannah's name trying to get any sign of life, but nothing would do and the freezing rain was now soaking her sleepwear and skin.

"I-I'm calling for help!" spoke out loud Ingrid as she rushed to the phone and started to dial 911.

Jannice only looked at her still motionless friend and looked up at the window to where she jumped from. Hannah never came across as someone who would jump a window for no reason, unless... oh god. Jannice feared the worst and quickly hurried back inside the house, and speed-walked her way to the stairs, as she left wet footprints onto the floor as she was still wet from the rain.

Upon ascending the stairs... Jannice would find the master's bedroom door open but the lights out, and a heavy scent of blood coming out from there. She whimpered as she quietly muttered "I-Ingrid..?"

Ingrid was busy talking to the telephone her voice still being heard "Please come as fast as possible and bring an ambulance!!! Our friends really need help right now" she barked at the phone.

"Of course ma'am, we'll be here in 8 minutes. Stay right where you areEEEK!" the telephone distorted the sound as the voice was cut off and Ingrid peeled her head away and noticed the telephone leaking blood from inside. She gasped but then heard her friend Jannice speak out "I-Ingrid..?"

Ingrid turned to look at the guest bathroom in which Jannice was calling out, but it was so dark she couldn't make out the silhouette of her friend. "J-Jannice?" asked Ingrid as her flesh turned to goosebumps.

"I-Ingrid..?" The voice spoke out in the exact same tone as the smell of rusted iron reached in and hit Ingrid's nostrils.

"Agh!! What is that smell?!?" She covered her nose and gagged at the stench.

Then suddenly, someone from behind her grabbed her arm causing Ingrid to jump and yelp as she turned around she saw Jannice who didn't even come from the bathroom holding her hand "w-we need to get out of here now," Jannice spoke as she was as pale as snow and her colors drained from fear, tears also trickled down her cheeks as her mouth quivered.

"J-Jannice what is going on?" Ingrid asked.

"I-idk but.. we have to wait outside. I-i'm not looking back in the room again." Jannice urged as she pulled her friend along.

Ingrid couldn't tell what Jannice was on about but judging by her voice, something serious was going on. Both went outside at the porch and stood there in the heavy rain, too scared to go back inside.

Ingrid couldn't stop but to think, if Jannice came from the living room.. then... who was it that was in the Guest Restroom closest to her in the kitchen?

It wasn't long till Police arrived with an ambulance and started to get into the house. Both Jannice and Ingrid were rescued and sent to their homes.

On the morning of September 30th, the news flashed across the town.

"Good Morning People of Dakota. We're here with sad news that Police was called at 01:30 AM to the call of help on Elm Street where they discovered 3 bodies of 3 young teenager girls who are identified as Hannah Baker, Patricia Miller, and Ash Pines. Both Patricia and Ash were found with their bodies disemboweled and hearts missing, while Hannah had died on impact after jumping out of the window. The two Daughters of the owners of the house, Clarisse Mayforth and Rebecca Mayforth, are both missing. The last time they've been seen was going upstairs to the master's bedroom of the house about to play the game "Bloody Mary". Police are dumbfounded at the amount of blood found in the bathroom, coating everywhere from the cracked mirror and bathtub to tiles and sink. And also dragging across floor. Results says that the Blood belongs to none of the girls but to a Jane Doe. If you see both girls, please contact with our number, (67 8933-4523), or contact our local police through 911."

Emmet's Friendship Questionnaire!! || It has been years but John's page is here! @turnecoat

Getting to know John~

"I am Emmet! I like pink too, John! If the color white did not exist, pink might have been my favorite!"

"Your favorite types are fire and poison! I love fire!! And poison-types are nice! I love using the poison-type moves—it adds intensity and suspense to the battles, wouldn't you agree? Though... I don't think you battle much? I haven't seen you battle. Your favorite Pokemon, Croagunk, Arcanine, makes sense now!"

"YUP! Guzzlords are verrrrrrrry scary. The poor souls who might have gotten eaten and disappear forever.... It scares me."

"Do you need me look over your records? Maybe you can pay off the rest of your years to earn the retirement? Do you have a union rep I can contact to talk about your case?"

"You and Ingo would be best friends. He likes baking and wood carving, which is kind of similar to what you do, right? Also, didn't you say you want to retire? Is it your job that makes you give up on your favorite thing to do?"

"THANKS! I will keep it in mind!" A spare room he would never get kicked out of home. If his landlord continued to being an ass, John might get a visitor (and his twin).

"Interesting. Is it the reason for your weekly 'I hate fairies' rants? I heard Corviknights are out of job due to a Paldean fairy-type Pokemon. .... Maybe it could be an inspiration for your retirement..."

"Anyway, moving along. Your favorite thing to do with friends is... drinking. Nice! I have many recipes for you to try, as long as you cover the drinks. And your favorite food is something with onions. Interesting indeed."

"Maybe I should follow your example—naming my Pokemon after principles... Though, I did it with myself. You know. Emmet means 'truth'. As for the chocolates... You came to the right place."

"YOU LIKE ME!!!" He needs to get over the hype of this fact first, before reading the rest. "Thank you, John! I care! We should get you to retire and spend more time together! You could work with me and Ingo in the Battle Subway? We have many jobs for many talented people! You would do well in organizing and managing our depot agents! SAY, I COULD GET YOU AN UNIFORM TO BRIBE INFLUENCE YOUR DECISION!"

"Thank you for filling the questionnaire! I will remember this!"

So, I've just found out the story for South Park: Snow Day, and I just thought of an AU for it(Which is basically a what if).

(Spoilers for SP: Snow Day. Check it out if you haven't!!)

So. You know how in Snow Day literally everyone blames the New Kid for almost everything, even though they were only following what others told them? Well that got me thinking... What if when all the dark matter was transferred to Mr.Hankey...

The New Kid finally snapped?

By that I mean just straight up snap and let it all out on The Boys? I mean, from what I could recall, none of the stuff from the three games was planned by New Kid. They never expected to suddenly be revealed to be a dragonborn, and having all of these op powers. They never expected to be able to fart through time(Which caused a lot of shit to happen). They never knew Doctor Timothy's plan and just followed Coon's orders, and then suddenly they are to blame. And now in Snow Day: They're treated like the scapegoat, even if they were just as clueless as the others were.

They didn't ask for any of this. They never did. And now...

They're done.

After all this rant about how people were unfair, New Kid gets up... and leaves. Yup. Just like that. They're not playing these games anymore. The world is ending? Fine. Again: They're done. And everything would be (sorta)fine. Except...

They're their only hope.

That was literally the reason why New Kid stayed with the others. Because they're much more stronger than all The Boys combined(Despite how much Cartman would deny it). And now, they needed them more than ever. But because of what happened, New Kid refuses to play anymore. Not even just that: they don't even want to SEE any of them. So who do they send to talk the them? Butters! I mean, at least he never really blamed New Kid for anything.

So Butters sneaks into New Kid's room(The Boys tried talking to them directly, but they just told them to go fuck themselves), and tries to convince New Kid to help them defeat Mr. Hankey. But, as expected, New Kid refuses. And reasonably enough! They did literally everything for them, and then they still were to blame for every disaster that occurred! Buuut they're successfully convinced anyway and "help" defeat Mr. Hankey. But on the condition that they won't play with them again, cause they are assholes.

Soooo yea. This is basically "What if the New Kid had an actual personality" kinda au. I have no idea if it needs to have a name or not, and I don't think I'll expand it later on. Maybe I'll just visualise how I see the New Kid and that will probably be it. *Shrug*

I- keep me on my toes??dhsjakak okay?? mhm, very deserved win....🙄 good thing luck is on my side, I could say the jury just likes me too much to not be merciful, but then that could lead to them proving me wrong just for the sake of it, so I'll keep quiet.

how so? 🤨 and, yeah... I think we maybe, just maybe, I'm saying maybe we should do this, I'm right behind you on this one. we nailed it.

thank you, but I think it shines brightest when you're the one using 119%. that's... that's cute 🥹 mailing it would only make the process longer and more complicated, so giving it to them in person was clearly better lmao. okay, so who has a better memory, you or a goldfish? more scientific research. yup, unfortunately that's how it, and I'm almost ranting about how unfair this is.

cute until be the person ignored by your cat who is literally your best friend 😭 poor baby, I didn't mean to laugh but the way you put it made it funny- hajkskakdjk oh my, this is so adorable. have you been with them for a long time? I'm also proud, I think we're both behaving ourselves about this.

yes! I just created a group of angst fic enthusiasts, you're invited to join it. (hmmmm... okay. this will be my “good night and sleep well” to you. here is your so wanted second star, you deserved it 💫 this one is a shooting star so you have one wish)

– 🌟

i definitely didn't fall asleep before you sent this last nightand it's definitely not 5am right now 😶 hey, hey, i don’t appreciate that sarcasm, put the eye roll away. that…might not be completely wrong but since you technically didn't say it, i won't confirm or deny your suspicions.

i mean, out of the two of us, you're still the anonymous one so you have an extra layer of safety. look at us finally agreeing on something, i’m proud. i don't know exactly how we should go about doing this but i’m down if you are 👀

you don't think it shines bright when a literal star uses it? akdjjdjdsksk 🥹 yeah, plus giving it to them in person also allowed me to see their reaction in real time. i don't think any of my friends ever thought it was as cool as i did but that's alright, no harm done 🤷 as painful as it is to admit it, if you're doing scientific research, i’m going to have to give it to the goldfish. my memory is awful which makes studying for exams very fun…not. it’s very unfair but weirdly…idk if romantic is the word i’m looking for but it’s something like that. not necessarily the having to hide part but being able to fall in love regardless of all the backlash that lingers.

i- you always end up laughing when i share these things so idk, i think you just like laughing at me, tbh. i am once again threatening to bring the sad eyes emoji back, i think i deserve it this time. i’ve had one of them for i think 8-ish years, almost 9, and the other one literally showed up at my door 4 years ago. i’ve obviously grown very attached to both of them, even if they’re mean af. i think so too, we’re very well behaved.

i will very happily join it considering so many of my fics end up leaning into angst territory. [i didn't see this last night but thank you anyway aksksksk it’s most definitely morning for you so good morning! and thank you!! finally. i only had to be dramatic and practically beg for it but i appreciate it. and i definitely made a wish, too bad i can't share it or it won't come true 😶]

Edge x christian

Summary- Ever since Rated RKO was created Randy & Adam have gotten very close and frankly it has made Jay quite jealous and lonely. To be completely honest Jay wants Adam all to himself but of course that cant happen because Adam is as straight as a stick (so he thinks)

Please show me?

Ever since Rated RKO was created Randy & Adam have gotten very close and frankly it has made Jay quite jealous and lonely. He didn't want to confront Adam about it or anything but they're just friends so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. But to him it is, Like whenever he tried to talk to his best friend before a match Randy shows up and distracts Adam and leaves jay standing awkwardly, alone and ignored. He knows its not Randy nor Adam's fault but he cant help but be upset.

To be completely honest Jay wants Adam all to himself but of course that cant happen because Adam is as straight as a stick (so he thinks ). He knows that sounds pretty weird and self centered but he doesn't mean it that way, Jay has recently come to terms with his sexuality and feelings for Adam, He doesn't know why he feels like this and feels pretty ashamed that he does so he's trying to now hide his feelings for as long as he can and to distance himself away from Adam to try and make them go away.

"I'm so stupid! How i let this happen! Why do you make me feel this way Adam. Why. Its not like you'll ever care anyways you're always off with your little randy" Jay rants to himself while sobbing.

Hes currently in his change room getting ready to have a match with- you guess who- yup Randy, and who's accompanying him to ring- yup Adam. OF COURSE. All he wants is edge and christian to be back together. No more rated rko, he just wants his best friend back.

While hes finished getting dressed he wipes his tears and puts on a happy face and walks out to the gorilla.

"Hey Jaybird you ready for your match with Randy" Adam greets Jay

"Yeah i am, Honestly cant wait for it to be over though i just wanna get back to bed" Jay answers

"Hey Adam Come here" Randy asks while Adam walks back over

he felt his heart drop to his stomach and just like that jay was forgotten about. Once again.

He heard his music hit and walked out and did his usual entrance. After his was finished rated rko's song started playing and Randy and Edge started walking out. Without realizing it Christian was glaring pretty harshly at Randy.

During the match Christian was doing pretty good until he felt Randy throw an extra hard punch, he doesn't know if it was by accident or not but he felt that it was on purpose. All he knew was that it was going to leave a black eye in the morning.

While he was distracted feeling his face Randy did a rko on him and ended the match. Jay just felt like he wanted to cry.

Adam was watching the match between Jay and Randy until he saw Randy throw a really hard punch that actually made Jay blind sighted and actually take a step back while covering his face. It actually made Adam quite worried and told himself to check up on Jay later. Recently hes felt that Jay hasn't been as talkative as he usually is and its made Adam a bit upset because he doesn't know whats wrong. He tries to talk to Jay but Randy always shows up and forces Adam to listen to him.

Adam watched Randy hit an rko on Jay and pin him for the three count. Adam acted very happy for randy and hugged him while walking back up the ramp but frankly all he wanted to do was go see Jay, he knew he wasn't badly hurt or anything but he just felt that he had to- no needed to see Jay, Adam's been ignoring him lately and it hasn't even been on purpose and he feels really bad because he doesn't mean to ignore him.

Jay walks backstage into his dressing and locks door and starts to undress himself. Once hes done changing his pants but keeps his shirt off he looks in the mirror and starts to cry. Nobody could ever love someone like him, especially Adam that's why he probably always ignores him, because he doesn't want to be seen with him. No one does.

Adam walks through the hallways trying to find Jay locker room. When he finally does he goes to knock but hears muffled sobs.

"Jay..? Are you alright" Adam asks Softly while knocking on the door.

When Jay doesn't answer but keeps sobbing Adam checks if the door is unlocked and opens it softly.

When he does, his heart nearly breaks. He catches Jay looking at himself topless in the mirror sobbing while touching his stomach.

"Jaybird whats wrong?" Adam asks him softly while slowly walking towards him.

Jay jumps a bit startled when he hears his voice and Adam instantly feels bad for frightening him.

"A-Adam what are doing here? Why aren't you with Randy" Jay exclaims while wiping his tears

"Jay i came to come see you. Are you okay?" Adams asks Jay

"Yeah i'm fine, Whats up?" Jay exclaims nonchalantly with his lip trembling.

"Jason you're not okay, You can talk to me you know what right? We're best friends" Adam reassures him.

"Are we though Adam because he rarely come and see me anymore to talk or anything and we never hang out how we used to, you're always off with Randy" Jay tells him quite coldly

"what? Jay-" Adam starts

"Do you not want to be seen with me? Am i too ugly and boring to be seen with edge anymore because you've changed quite a bit. What happened to the Adam i love" Jay exclaims sadly

he almost starts to cry again before he realizes what hes said and instantly freezes

"T-the Adam you what? Wait you're gay?" He starts

"Adam i'm so sorry i-"

"Wait so is that why you're always glaring daggers at Randy? You're jealous? Jay i'm so sorry i never meant to ignore you i didn't even realize it was happening. I love you to alright, its been so hard to come to terms with and i didn't know how to react" Adam explains softly

"Wait you're gay to?" Jay asks in the most confused tone ever and a straight face

"yeah" Adam laughs slightly

"And what the hell do you mean are you 'quote on quote' to ugly and boring to be around me? Jay you are the most beautiful man I've ever my laid eyes on, and your laugh is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard and i could listen to it all day. Jason Reso you make me the happiest man when i'm with you. Nobody can make me laugh like you, you make everyday entertaining Jay. I love spending my time with you Jaybird" Adam explains

"Adam stop lying there's not way i'm the most beautiful man you've ever laid your eyes on" Jay whispers sarcastically while almost starting to cry again

Adam hugs him and starts to rub his bareback and his other hand slowly reaches down and lightly squeezes his ass

"How about i show you how beautiful you are" He whispers

"A-Adam!" Jay blushes profusely

"I-i'm sorry" Adam laughs

"i'm serious though i will seriously show you if you want me too because trust me Jay i ain't lying."

"Please show me" Jay mutters just below a whisper

"what was that darling?" Adam asks while grinning

"Please show me how beautiful i am Adam, because maybe then ill believe you" Jay asks cheekily while also slightly embarrassed while still blushing majorly

"Of course i will Jay, Remember all you gotta do is ask"

"But please seriously remember you are worth so much jaybird and anybody would be lucky to have you. I love you"

'I love you to Addy"

okay at first ieiri and getou were kinda annoying me but with the new chapter it actually made me like them, especially getou. I was assuming that getou actually didn't mind gojo cheating on yn with sera but with what he said to gojo about just not wanting to meddle with his business really changed my mind (plus they were really nice to yn during the trip) and ok i kinda wanna talk about with what yn said to gojo about his mom, i wholeheartedly believe that she only said that in the midst of her anger, she just got so fed up that she allowed her anger to basically say what she's feeling. yes it's not right for her to say that to gojo knowing that he has trauma with that but then again people say things they don't mean when they're angry (and plus with how much pain gojo caused yn i'm giving her a free pass on this one) but anyways sorry for the somewhat mini rant, just wanna say I genuinely loved this chapter and I can't wait to see what happens in the next chapter <3333

with one of the previous asks, i actually made a long ass explanation abt ieiri and geto’s sentiments re: gojo’s infidelity 😭 some of you guys should really trust me when i tell you all to wait for things to unfold lol anyways, yup !! y/n cares for gojo too much and if there’s anyone who understands his trauma, it’s her. it’s def just the rage talking when she brought up his mom and, unlike him, she actually had the decency to apologize straight away.

Sweater Paws - Dazai x Reader

Pronouns: She/Her

Genre: Fluff

Word Count: 953

Hope you enjoy! ^-^

Banner edit by @blake-elladonna

The colder weather was setting in as the season changed. Sweaters, boots, heavy jackets, and scarves would be needed to get through the harsher months. Dazai didn’t own many sweaters or warmer clothes. It didn’t bother him any. Dazai always claimed not to feel the cold. Unless he was trying to annoy someone that is. Yet even he could use a nice soft sweater. So Y/N bought him one.

The couple had recently moved in together. During the process, Y/N had gone through old clothes and donated the clothes she didn't wear anymore. With the cold weather settling in she found she had fewer winter clothes than originally believed. So, she went to get more. While at the store, she looked at some clothes for her picky boyfriend. It was rare to see the man outside of his usual attire. Even during the extremes of winter and summer, Dazai could be found with his usual button-down, vest, slacks, trench coat, and of course, his layers of bandages. How he hasn't frozen to death or had heatstroke, Y/N doesn’t know. Or anyone else for that matter. He liked his outfit, and it worked for him. Dazai didn’t think he needed to change it.

“Dazai, can you try a sweater on for me?” Y/N asked when she returned home. “I know, I know, you like your outfit. But it’s more so for the house than to go out in. Just once! And if you really don’t like it or something I can return it.”

The man in question looked at the sweater his one true love was holding up. It was a plain maroon sweatshirt. No design or anything special. Well, except for the fact that it looked too big for him. He knows getting clothes for him is difficult because of his height, but he knows Y/N knows what size he is and makes sure to get the right one. So the fact that the sweatshirt is big was curious. It is also extremely soft. Dazai agreed to try it on.

Walking out into the bedroom, Dazai found Y/N sitting on their bed. It was clear she was waiting for him to finish changing into the new sweatshirt. “It’s a bit big, don’t you think, Belladonna?”

Looking up at her boyfriend, Y/N smiled, “No! It’s perfect. I got it big on purpose.” Y/N said as she got up. “I did get the right size just in case you liked it but didn’t like that it was too big. But look! Stretch your arm out.”

Dazai did as his other half said. Only fingers could be seen pushing past the end of the sleeve, and even then, a small part of his fingers was still hidden by the sleeve. It wasn’t exactly practical, but if it was just for at home, then it wasn’t so bad.

“It’s perfect!” Y/N said, seeming happy about it. “It’s nice and soft, right? This way you can stay warm and it’s soft and loose so it won’t irritate your skin! I think I’m going to steal the one that I got in the right size so I have one too.”

“‘Won’t irritate my skin?’” Dazai asked as he watched Y/N turn to change into the smaller sized sweatshirt she had originally gotten for him. The brunette wondered if his girlfriend realized what she said. Still, he smiled at how much thought she had put into getting the sweater.

“Yup! That way if you don’t feel like putting on all of your bandages, no matter what you do, with the exception of your neck, you’d still be completely covered.” As Y/N realized her words as she finished pulling the other sweater overhead. “I mean you know if you wanted to. I’d never ask you to take them off or not wear them! I know that you like wearing your bandages! And that you’ve always worn them! And and… I just- I thought- I didn’t- I can take it back! It’s not a big deal I’m probably gonna have to go back anyway cause I did get a lot for myself and I don’t need so many so I can just take it back with that stuff! I should have asked you about first and-”

Before Y/N can continue ranting on, Dazai cuts her off with a kiss. His sweater covered palms resting on her cheeks. “I understand what you are trying to say. You just want me to be comfortable. And I appreciate that.” Dazai kissed his lover's forehead gently, smiling as he did so. “I do like the sweater and would like to keep it. It matches the one you’re wearing. Plus it’s soft, just like you said.” Another kiss, this time to her nose. “Besides, you put a lot of thought into getting this. Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Y/N smiled up at him. Her cheeks were still red with her embracement as she leaned up to capture Dazai’s lips in a kiss.

Dazai did wear the sweatshirt a lot. It was his go-to article of clothing after showers on chilly evenings. The oversized piece of clothing was perfect for him. Y/N loved to see his sweater covered hands. Constantly saying how cute he looked in the sweater that's too big for him. Dazai countered with the same thought since she kept the sweater that was his size, making it too big on her. But Dazai loved the domestic feeling of it all. It was a feeling he never thought he’d experience, and that he loved it that much more.

As time passed, Dazai, on good days, would leave off the bandages on his chest.
