All right, it's been almost year since Nocturne aired and I think my lack of enthusiasm really showed in that my Nocturne posts are pretty nonexistent compared to Castlevania. I've gone over my points in the few posts regarding my issues with the series. Most of them are personal preferences and not so much a writing problem. Richter and Marira are the types of character I don't like, so that automatically makes me less inclined to enjoy Nocturne right out of the gate. Again, personal preference and I'm hoping it's just part of their development and they'll be more likable as the series progresses. As I've said in previous posts, I'll continue Nocturne when Season 2 drops, but I'm more invested in Annette and Olrox's characters.
...
Julia's death, though, is still something that really bothers me.
Setting aside the obvious refrigeration here, she really got screwed over. On the surface, dying in battle protecting her son is a good death, but here’s what ruined it:
Her last words to Richter are, “I’m so sorry.”
Why is this a problem? Take this scene from the perspective lens of Julia, not the audience or the plot. There is a dangerous vampire on the offensive in front of her. He challenged her, not the other way around. She knew his name and what he was capable of, and she did not hesitate to try to take him down to defend herself and her child. In this circumstance, she was a defender, not a hunter. As a Belmont, killing Olrox is the objective.
But Julia doesn’t know Olrox is going to spare Richter!
Olrox is a vampire and he’s pissed; from Julia’s point of view, kiddo is next on the hit list. She has no reason to believe Olrox won’t kill her son. So she’s pinned and losing the fight, has limited options, is losing her strength, and at the point she realizes she can’t do this and that she’s going to die here, she turns to Richter and says she’s sorry.
Yeah, sorry she’s going to die and the Belmont line is going extinct tonight apparently. Again, she has no reason to believe Olrox won’t kill Richter.
For this scene to have worked the way the writers intended, her last words, at the very least, should have been, “Run, get away!” Or something like that. Or they could have given her a true death in battle by letting her have that classic anime surge of energy and motivation that only the most dogged of characters have, you know——“Over my dead body are you killing my boy!”——and dying that way.
She didn’t die protecting her son.
She gave up and died. She, a Belmont, gave up and died.
She did her ancestors dirty, and therefore, the writers did her dirty. If you’re going to kill off a character for the plot of the protagonist, especially a woman (because this happens way more often to a female character than a male,) at least do them the dignity a good death. Make it worthy.
But getting back to the refrigeration issue, I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, if they really wanted the ‘dead parent trauma’ trope, I guess I appreciate that it was Richter’s mother and not his father and therefore just another run-of-mill male hunter. But still, we did need something a little more original than this. Even though Lisa was part of the original games and her only lore was the 'dead mother trope,' Castlevania Netflix gave her more than that: She was a doctor, she was intelligent, she was kind and always tried to do right by others. It's not a lot, but with the short amount of time Lisa is onscreen, she was given something fans could remember her for aside from 'the woman who died.' Castlevania honored the content of the original plot while expanding on it and giving it more substance.
Julia is not from the original video games, and in spite of endless possibilities they had, Nocturne still went with the 'woman whose tragic death drives the protagonist.'
The body count of dead women in Nocturne is so uncomfortable that when Edouard was killed, my immediate reaction was not the emotional response the writers probably wanted. It was, “Oh, thank goodness, a dude finally died. Between the two dead moms and the dead sister, we were running out of room in the fridge.” At least Edouard and Jacques still have the benefit of still being active characters instead of plot devices and, yeah, of course I was sad to see Edouard go, but I am still irritated about what they did to Julia.

What do you mean Spencer missed Hallowen? Sacrilege!
Lil guy over here was actually wearing his best Crowley skin at a party until 3am with his dear brother - whom dressed as a demon himself, which I did not miss the joke on, mind you - some old and new friends and an angel of my own
Oh yeah, I managed to do it. Not exactly the angel I had planned to go with, but an angel nonetheless and, I'm happy to announce, we were not the only angelic&demonic lil pair at the party, or the only bloody Crowley and Aziraphale!
Now, I won't share any pictures my Aziraphale and I took together because the only 2 I have have a bit of a problem: the first one was taken by the worst photographer on the planet (my Aziraphale. She might be a dear, but Jesus Christ-), the second one is not for public eye, but we do have planned on meeting again and probably doing a little Christmas inspired photoshoot, so hopefully the actual photographic proof there works out better
Mind you, I'm a stubborn idiot. We walked to the club and yours truly might or might not almost have broken his nose, being literally saved at least twice by the angel that partnered up with me for the night, pulling me away from stray street lamps, because I refused to take off my shades for "My eyes are not cannot compliant because my contact lenses were delayed in transit and didnt arrive yet" reasons, so i could barely see a meter in front of my own nose.
Long Halloween party story short:
- My Aziraphale got hit on by one of my friends because apparently I inspire no fear on these God forsaken people
- I quickly figured out Crowley does not wear that ridiculous lil tie for style, but for "Being Dragged Around By The Angel Like a Bloody Dog" reasons
- I did end up finding 4 other Crowleys (a gorgeous one escaping the cliché the 4 other copies fell into and actually choosing Eden Crowley and, my man, all the kudos to her. Not only were her wings absolutely gorgeous, but they MOVED) and we absolutely ganged up together for most of the night
- I learned that one should never try and recreate the Apology Dance while wearing slippery shoes on a floor sticky with alcohol, at risk of breaking a bloody leg (not me. Did give me a good laugh, tho)
- A really cool guy with a Tenth Doctor costume joined the Crowley gang at some point and kept paying for free beers for the rest of us which <3 I will never forget you, random fellow David Tennant fan whose name I don't recall
- Most songs were, as predicted, spooky themed, Brazilian funk or portuguese romantic/folk, which can be fun, don't mind me, but they did play Under Pressure almost at the end of the night and the 3 remaining Crowleys - yours truly included - may or may not have completely butchered the song, trying to "sing" (I would call it yell, if we are being realistic) as loudly as we could and jumping through the whole "Can we give ourselves one more chance?" segment of the song as my Aziraphale and the girlfriend of one of the other Crowleys (wearing that really gorgeous Wednesday Addams black dress she wears for a party in the TVshow, ya know the one) very heavily pretended they didn't know us, but hey: brotherhood amongst demons and what not. If Queen starts playing and one Crowley starts yelling and jumping, the other Crowleys shall yell and jump. It's the law
- Dunnot! I repeat: DUNNOT! Try to pin a taller Aziraphale against a wall when you are a Tiny Crowley because you will end up embarrassing yourself
All this to say: Good Omens fans are terrifying. We are literally everywhere, and we are all equally bloody sick. Yet, my fellow crazies keep being some of the coolest people I've ever met in my life. I swear, this fandom is the gift that keeps on giving, and I lowkey own my wildest night in 23 years to this silly fandom
Alas, pics? I got some silly selfies i took while getting ready and sent to some of my fellow degenerates
And, as proof of the lighting at the party being absolutely shit:
You cannot imagine how much I enhance the brightness on that damn photo and it was the only one I bothered taking for obvious reasons (yes, at that point my blazer and tie were being carried around by my Aziraphale because they were annoying the fuck out of me and I'm an arsehole that doesn't like to carry shit on his hands and my angel was a sweetheart)
Alas, I said I would do it and I did it
Happy belated Halloween, sweethearts

You know for a manga that boasts having so many badass female characters i can't help but need to add OCs to Metallic Crimson because all of the female characters fall into the following categories:
A) White Seeming Soldier Lady (Riza Hawkeye, Rebecca Catalina, Maria Ross, Sheska, Olivier Mira Armstrong, Briggs Doctor*) (*military doctor ergo here and not below- plus babe doesn't even have a name)
B) White Seeming Civillian Lady (Winry, Pinako, Sarah Rockbell, Armstrong sisters (3 of them and i can't recall if they ever speak), Mrs Armstrong (we don't have a name for her), Madame Christmas, Trisha Elric*, Gracia Hughes*) (*have these gals done anything except been there for their man or their sons I would hardly count them shonen badass but I am adding them because they are female characters and they play a part)
C) White Seeming Alchemist Lady (Izumi Curtis) (lmao i thought there'd be more but all of the other alchemists in the manga are men)
D) Not Human (Martel, Lust, Nina, Nina's mom)
E) Not Amestrian* (*Ishvalans are Amestrian) (Lan Fan, Mai, The panda (tbh i just now noticed i put the panda here and not in Not Human and it's so much funnier here)
The only ones who don't fall into this category are Shan (the ONLY female speaking ishvalan in the fmab anime - SHE APPEARS SO LITTLE AND IS FORGETTABLE THAT I HAD TO GOOGLE HER) and Paninya (a one-off character)
Oh but limeta! Amestris is supposed to be Europe, that's why they're all white -
My brother in christ, Raven and Paninya are RIGHT THERE
For its time, FMAB is an incredibly diverse story with amazing female characters, but i see people still boasting them for modern standards and it's like - but there aren't, there really aren't many badass female characters at all. and if I were to take a step further and remove all of the female characters whose sole motivation is enabling or helping a man succeed then I'd cut those characters up there even further. The only ones who are genuinely badass characters with their own clear cut motivation are Pinako Rockbell (suppose if she were younger, she'd be given a man to hype and do things for but thank god she's an old wise woman archtype and therefore immune to that trope), Sarah Rockbell (selflessly saving lives and being a doctor, though sorry queen you died) and Olivier Mira Armstrong (proactively fucking shit up and with a clear motivation what she wants - but then you can also infer that Mustang is a part of her motivation because she wants to fuck his chances up of being Fuhrer lmao)
Winry in brotherhood is very waifu, very not proactive, very I'll wait for you but she still gets shit done and so she's still badass because we all know that strength is differently expressed with different characters so she's still on this list, but compared to her 03 version she's very stay at home, very support role, very all i do i do for ed and al.
Riza Hawkeye... i love her. she's my favourite character. but remove roy from her motivation and what do you get...be honest...
Madame Christmas, for the only times she does appear, she does so because she's gotta help Roy.
Gracia is a housewife :) and we know nothing about her. She is an extension of Maes Hughes. She is there because if she weren't there we wouldn't have Elicia and if we didn't have Elicia we wouldn't have the scenes where Maes boasts and hypes his family up in order to solidify his characterisation as THAT CARING DUDE HOPE NOTHING BAD - OH NO THE WIFE GUY DIED.
Make no mistake! This is not anti fmab. I've written over 300k worth of content for this fandom and I adore every single frame of that show (especially the nina tucker spliced with her dog frame, chefs kiss) But it has forced me to have to create either backstories and motivation for most of these female characters that exist outside of the men in their lives or it has forced me to create OCs that don't fall within those aforementioned categories.
Would it have been so bad, I ask, if we got an Ishvalan character who was not a monk and not in the slums waiting to die? Maybe even a female character? Would it have been so bad that we got more speaking roles for women outside of the military who aren't alchemists? Would it have been bad if we got a female character who was a State Alchemist?
Most likely yes, because Arakawa had a clear view of what she needed in order to tell her story from start to finish, but I'm not confined to such limitations and I'll make Ishvalan characters who are proactive. I'll gladly add more characterisation to our prexisting anime babes because I love that I can. I am a worldbuilder first and foremost and I love making a world that's LIVED in and having such a sanitized character list from up there is really making me not feel like it's LIVED in.
Anyway calling fmab a show filled to the brim with badass female characters is ??? an outdated take.
#metallic crimson#not gonna tag this as fmab because i don't want people to think i'm bashing the show#but if you feel like reblogging you can#this was more of a post about something i've noticed because i tried to think of if there was a single isvhalan female character and i had#to google it#because it was so difficult to recall

My dogs being put down Saturday, and I am going to miss him. I'm going to miss his little snorts and how he snores, how he follows me into the kitchen. How his fur feels and how he used to sleep on my bed by my feet.
He's the oldest dog I've had. The only one whose stayed through all out moves through the military. The only who didn't run away
He can barely sew now and has a bad ear infection that could kill him. His hips are giving out and he's over weight, been over weight. And I love him and I miss him but I don't want him to suffer but is it selfish that I still want to keep him alive just so I won't have to miss him.
I don't think I was the best owner, er, I guess technically my mom owns him cause I'm only a teen and it's her name on the pamphlet but still, I could've done more. Should've done more. I should've kept doing things with him. He used to play with his toys all the time, fetch but then he got older and he's shizu you know? A lap dog, so he didn't play as often, and that was fine. But I should've still taken him on walks, I should've helped with his eye gunk more, helped woth his eye, did my God damn chore of picking up his poop more and not put it up to do random stuff......
I don't want to lose him but he deserves better, right? He doesn't deserve to be in pain at nd if it's only going to get worse....I don't know. I don't want him to die I don't want to lose him I don't want to *miss* him but this ***is*** happening. It has to happen. But I don't want it too.
Hrs gonna sleep in my bed tonight and tomorrow. I'm gonna take him on a nice walk tomorrow. I'm gonna just sit beside him tomorrow while I do stuff. And on Saturday I'll sit beside him while he's We're going to have to put my dog down and I am going to be there for it. I have to begiven that god damn shot and I'll cry
He won't be put down if the ear infection won't kill him and the doctors can, somehow, make his life better for a few more years. Help him wiht his eyesight or give him pain releif. But that's not gonna happen? Is it now......I wish it would, but it won't it can't. And so this has to happen
You know, last night I was feeding him pieces of pepperoni from pizza too and I won't be able to do that again, will I?
He used to crawl in my lap but he hasn't lately. Maybe it's because he's blind, can't see me. Maybe it's because I haven't just.....SAT with him in a while. Maybe it's because he hasn't been feeling good. Maybe we can do that one more time
Maybe I'm making a bigger deal then it is. I've been crying for over an hour but my dad, while he's sad and has probably also cried but upstairs, is call and has accepted it. My sister doesn't seem to care, or maybe she just doesn't understand considering she's 12 and hasn't really experienced the same stuff with him I have.
I was having a Greta day earlier to, we went to a sushi restaurant, walked around the mall, went to a mini Costco. And then my dad decided to clean my dogs ear and boom. Ear infection REALLY bad. And he made the appointment a few minutes later.
He also used to be beside me on the couch, just like the sofa, he doesn't anymore considering my dad doesn't want him on the couch cause of drool, the beds because he snores EXTREMELY loud. But I'm gonna miss him being able to DO that.
God my eyes feel dry. I'm gonna go drink some water, thanks for listening to my vent.....
Here's some pictures of Rocky, also known as Little pup and Little prince
#vent#death#my dogs being put down#dogs#puppy#pup#i love him#and i wish i had been better#i think i did good#but i wish i did more#i dont know#if you read this thanks#im gonna make a list of things to do with him tomorrow#sorry if this dampened your mood#rocky#lil pup

A DND story
6 players at a table + DM + a toddler who is the daughter of our resident wizard, whose home we are meeting at. I brought snacks, we're starting a new campaign so everyone is talking character creation in the 20 minutes or so we hang before getting the dice out and the music on.
Player next to me, I'll call him Ned, Is A Doctor Who Was Home Schooled Through Highschool, so while he is Aware Of Anime, he has never had time to watch any thus far in his life.
Ned tells the table about his Warforged ( basically living suit of armor ) Warlock, and I can see smiles cracking on faces that signal The Rest Of The Table Knows. I see the DM get the "I'm gonna tell him" look but thought better of it and got on with getting the party together.
Later, we get to our hub city for the campaign, lotta Monster Hunter inspiration including a constantly running gondola line adventurers casually hook onto to get around. Ned announces he wants to find the stables to dicuss an animal companion, and another player cracks up.
Ned, who knows There Is Something About His Character Others Are Finding Funny, half asks and then says "Actually, no, I don't wanna know."
I suggest that if he finds a dog he should name him Alexander
ROOM BLOWS UP between anguished howling and howling laughter, including me the second I finished the line I doubled over 🤣

Next gen Time Travel AU
A Legend of Zelda and Inuyasha Time Travel AU for @promptsbytaurie event AU-gust 2024 day 10 Time Travel. I have @legofanguy1999 Inukag children as special guests.
Charlotte, Daphne, Sonia, Reuven, and Hilda visit their mother in her workplace at the Chronos Time Research in Tokyo. Doctor Zelda see her children and ask them, "Kids, what are you doing here?" and Charlotte said to their mother, "We are just here for a visit, mom." Zelda groans, "I'm working on a important project and I don't have time for this. I'm sorry, kids, but maybe later." and she walk away, which confused the nine years old girl Hilda.
When the kids enter the time machine, they look around to find there are five seats and a control platform. The four teenagers look around the time machine before young Hilda, whose is just nine years old to remind you readers, press some buttons, turning on the time machine. Quickly, the five kids sit on the five chairs as the time machine raise from the air and then disappear in a flash.
The time machine reappear in a flash and the five kids find themselves in a forest and Sonia ask her siblings, "Where are we?" and Daphne said, "Look. That control screen said that we are in 1569, during the Sengoku Jidai period in Japanese history, also known as the Warring states period, as this was the time in Feudal Japan when political, social, and military unrest was common place." and Charlotte said to her younger siblings, "I'm surprised that mom's time machine works." Daphne start out of the time machine and said, "I'm going to find some wires to get the power source on the time machine running again, so we can get back home. Remember, don't tell any other that you meet about the future or we run the risk of changing history and our modern age with it."
Daphne run into a teenage boy with short grey hair and wearing a green and white kimono along with a sword on him and a black hair girl of his age wearing a red kimono, but the boy has dog ears to Daphne's shock.
The modern era kids and the quarter demon kids look at each other. Knowing her Japanese, Charlotte and her siblings introduced herself, "My name is Charlotte, and these are my brother Daphne, sister Sonia, brother Reuven, and sister Hilda." The gray hair boy that introduced himself and the others to Charlotte and the others, "My name is Akio, and these are my twin sister Moroha, sister Izayo, and our younger twin brothers Haru and Atsuki."
Charlotte and her siblings managed to fix the time machine with help from Akio and his village.

Hey guess what, it’s
Character Archetype Posting Time
even though Nobody Asked
People that write often wonder what it’s like to be a certain character type. [Citation Needed] I figured I could write a thing on the type of character I am, so that they can wonder a little less.
I’m the equipment guy. Equipment guys come in many forms. Tech guy, quartermaster, or mechanic, to name a few.
This is notably different from the Guy In The Chair, or the Guy Who Carries Other People’s Stuff. I can do either of those if necessary, but I won’t be happy about it.
I’m not the backup, I’m a member of the party. When we go out to the field, I’m there with them. I’m usually the one whose job it is to call backup or make comms arrangements.
Everyone knows the equipment guy has a lot of stuff with them, but which stuff and how much? I personally view my role as the problem solver. I need the equipment to Do Stuff and Solve Problems. Everything I carry is either multipurpose or too important to not carry, even though single purpose items are space inefficient. Everything I carry is designed to be used with my other tools or whatever I can find on-site to solve problems. (Except for the things that are there solely to be fidget toys.)
Sometimes people write the equipment guy as enthusiastic and interactive, which is great as long as you don't treat them like a pet. Your equipment guy is not the same as the tin dog, to steal some terminology from Doctor Who. (The term tin dog is in reference to K9, the literal tin dog with useful instrumentation and a laser gun.) The notable difference between the equipment guy and the tin dog is that the tin dog has no agency, and is generally at the whim of the other characters and the plot. While equipment guy’s ability to perform their job is often closely tied to the plot, they actually participate in problem solving more than just being a talking wrench.
The most common difficulty for the equipment guy to face is time. You have a limited window to hack the server before we get noticed. You have to set up entrenchments and traps for the enemy before dawn. You have to call in the extraction vehicle before the cops get here. You have to pack up your equipment on short notice so that the party can get moving to something urgently.
Because the equipment guy is responsible for both selecting and using the equipment, it's extremely important that they be able to read the party's needs and the current state of things both before and during encounters. To be good at their job, they have to:
Know what to expect so they can select the right equipment
Know what needs to be done/when it needs to be done better than anyone else, so they can start setting up or packing up ASAP
Communicate well with the party to make sure everyone's needs (including their own) are met
To recap:
The equipment guy’s primary role is problem solving, which is usually accomplished with the equipment they carry or the knowledge and experience they have.
They are distinguished from the tin dog by the fact that they have agency
To a lesser extent, they are distinct from the guy in the chair because they're on the ground and at risk as much as the rest of the party.
Let me know if there's anything that needs clarification, and please do post your own versions of this! I'd love to read them!

Amelia didn't thought much of it, when professor Sprouts asked the class to present an essay on their preferred mythological creature. She did found it extremely funny-- and a bit convenient as well, since her roommate had recently took a liking to everything vampire related and she's been learning through osmosis basically. Last month it was everything about frogs. And at the beginning of the year they got really serious about bread.
Sometimes she can see glimpses of what seems to be a normal person under the unhinged, uncontrolled chaos that they are. One day they locked themselves inside the closet to, quote, fight the moon. But they pay in time and keep things in the common spaces neat. So, they're alright.
And she got full points for the assignment too, which was sort of rare for professor Sprouts, who despite her nice appearance and grandma-core cardigans, gave everyone the hardest time in her class. It was such a big deal for her, she finally treated herself for a cookie from that shop across the street whose owner, a tall goth that goes by the name of Mephisto, she's convinced stepped straight out of a book by Mary Shelley.
And, y'know how sometimes you'd laugh at the characters of a horror story for doing all of the things that might get them haunted and killed? Some people would argue, it's unfair to expect characters to be aware they're inside a story, let alone its genre as well.
If you were to apply that idea in her life, she'd say, for sure, she's the main character living inside one of those pretentious movies in which nothing ever happens.
Apparently she missed the writing on the walls.
"So, let me get this straight," she says, rubbing her temple and feeling a headache that's just about to begin. "You're a vampire hunter who got cursed during the Witch Trials of Salem and has been reborn every since," she says, pointing at none other than Mephisto, sitting rather uncomfortably for a person their height, in the tiny ass couch that's on the apartment she shares with her lunatic-- read with endearment-- roommate.
"Certainly so," they reply because of fucking course that someone that calls themselves Mephisto would speak like that.
"And you," she then points at her professor, miss freaking Daisy Sprouts, who asked for the essay to begin with, has like four hundred art doctorates and restores paintings professionally, wears knitted cardigans in pastel colors, raises fucking bees, still dabs unironically, can use the word "sussy" in a sentence correctly and knows the motherfucking Bee Movie script to heart. "You. Are a vampire. Since the times of fucking Cleopatra?!"
And she smiles, like she just revealed she bought another vintage sweater. "Time flies am I right? Also, Mel, do you happen to have a dog in here? It sort of reeks of dog, don't you think Mephisto? It hit me as soon as I-"
Amelia missed the writing on the walls. All of the walls, all of the writings, the entire room sorta, she probably didn't realize this morning when she woke up that she would end up being involved in whatever nonsense this is now.
Well in her defense, she never got the script. How was she supposed to know.
"I helped you kill a cockroach yesterday!" She yells, interrupting the vampire's ramblings about a dog that doesn't exist, at least not inside the flat.
"And I thanked you! Those things are about as terrifying as their search history, y'know?" she says, pointing at the goth in the room. Mephisto simply frowns, while she smiles.
Also they're married. Because of course they are.
And she's officially inside a romcom. Or a fanfiction. Or an indie film, a really weird one.
"So, listen, we're here 'cause your essay got like. Extremely specific at certain points and like," professor Sprouts pointed at herself, and then her spouse. "Really we just wanna know how you stumbled upon your sources. 'Cause it's borderline stalkey y'know, no offense."
"None taken...?" she says, getting progressively more confused, and stressed. Yep there's the headache. "Right. So. You might laugh."
"I'm not known for having a great sense of humor," says Mephisto in the most deadpan expression mankind has ever witnessed.
"Right, they're super lame," Sprouts pipes in.
Whatever. This is not even the weirdest thing that will be said in this conversation, I'm sure, she thinks. "So, my roommate, they go by Aries alright, so, they've been like really into vampire stuff as of lately and like, I just kinda listen to them while I do my homework? I'm not much of a conversationalist myself and like, I think they love the sound of their own voice," she explains, and that has to be the longest sentence she's stringed in the entire month. "Anyways, they sent me some links and since your assignment came up, I just uh... Used that. So. Pure dumb luck."
The two of them blink. As in. In unison.
She's convinced, she'd pretty much rather listening to her uncles speak about how snowflakes doomed the world, instead of having to ever explain this exchange to anybody. Ever.
"So, you mean to tell me you're not part of a secret organization whose entire purpose is to tailgate us," says professor Sprouts, after a beat of uncomfortable silence.
And she could swear. Mephisto smirks. Sorta.
"Uh, no." As if she'd ever have time between her classes and her job and being in touch with her mom and taking care of a dying cacti in order to begin a whole-ass conspiration about her university teacher and the owner of the coffee shop. Who is she, Yagami fucking Light. No, all her brainpower is already being used. She's not sure there's enough left of it for this conversation. She might pass out for an entire day after this. "I literally just. Followed some blog. Listen I didn't want to disappoint you but I didn't take the assignment that seriously professor Sprouts, I just needed the extra credits. I bullshited my way to college, of course I'm going to bullshit my way out of an essay."
"You mean to tell me you girlbo--"
"Please don't," she whispers weakly. And professor Sprouts decides to leave it at that but she can see how proud she is of making her lose her patience. And for once, Mephisto sort of looks like they're sorry about all of this.
Although it all disappears once she blinks. So maybe it was just the sleep deprivation.
"I can just like, give you the blog I found most of this in and like, you try and contact the writer? I mean they were the ones who put together the entire thing anyways, if it seems stalkey like. Ask them. Please leave." Oops she wasn't supposed to say the last part out loud.
"Alright, alright! I can read between the lines, jeez, I just wanted to know how could anybody possibly keep such an exact archive of these things," she says, getting up and fixing her dress. Mephisto gets up as well and their head almost hits the ceiling. "Seriously, it's almost as if they were following ever since-- Hey now hold on a goddamn minute."
And, as if struck with a wave of inspiration, professor Sprouts looks at Mephisto, calculating. They look away in turn.
Great. And they were about to leave too.
"Honey, have you been archiving our entire lives for centuries without telling me?" She asks, crossing her arms across her chest.
They at the very least have the decency to look mildly embarrassed about it.
"... I was planning to make it an anniversary gift," they explain quietly. "Certainly I was not expecting to see the work of my life be part of an essay."
"Listen pal, I'm sorry, really, but like if you put it out in the internet where everyone can access it, eventually a student with like thirty minutes of sleep time and six energy drinks in their system will tear it apart for an essay," she explains, unblinking and uncaring. Nobody is going to return to her the time she just spent clearing this up.
Oh well. At least professor Sprouts looks deeply touched about it. Good for her. Or sorry that it happened. Whatever.
"Oh, my moonlight-!"
"Out! Please! I have to work in like three hours!" She declares firmly, once it looks like the eternal couple will begin to make heart eyes at each other in the middle of the living-room. Hard pass.
Eventually they leave, looking so enamored with each other that she might just have to check the levels of sugar in her body after this.
But first, she's going to finally take a hard earned nap and--
"Uh, Amelia? Could I bother you?" Jesus goddamn Christ in his holy fucking cross! Can't a woman get peace and quiet?!
"Aries, I'm really tired right now," she says instead, after considering murdering everyone in the building for three whole seconds. "Whatever it is, it can wait."
"... No, it really can't," they insist, and walks across the room until they're right in front of her. Great. "This is something you must know. I'm aware you see me only as a roommate, but I must confess, that I see you as a friend, and as such, I cannot hide this secret from you any longer."
Great, just what I needed. Now they're going to say that they've got a crush on me or something and I'll have to reject them and it's going to be a nightmare and--
"Amelia, I'm actually a werewolf."
...
Yeah it's going to be one of those long, long days.
You were happy with getting an A+ on your “vampire myths” essay, with a comment about how you did excellent research, but you thought that was the end of it. A few days later, though, you open your door to find a vampire and a vampire hunter on your porch.

Michael Gray- New Family
Mentions of Rape (doesn't go in detail)
You and Michael are sat around the table with his family starring at you after telling them that you have a daughter. It was only the third time you had met his family
"I'm sorry it sounded like you said you already have a daughter" Polly says frowning
"Err yeah, her names Edith, Edee"
"Where's the father?" Tommy asks you taking a drag from his cigarette
"He's not involved" you tell his ashamed of your past
"How old is she?" John asks
"She's 3"
"So you were 17 when you had her? no wonder the dad left" Grace whispers. You start to jiggle your leg up and down with nerves
"Grace" Michael warns Tommy's wife
"Sorry but it's true. She was 17 when she had a child?"
"Grace John had a kid at 17 with Martha" Polly sighs
"Yeah but he did the right thing and married her"
"I errm didn't have much choice"
"You don't know who he is do you?" Grace starts to laugh
"Grace that's enough. Let the girl speak" Arthur snaps
"I didn't know I was pregnant" you look down at your hands getting a little upset
"How do you not know?" again Grace laughs "I was sick as a dog with Charles"
"I errrm"
"Hey you don't owe her an explanation. You don't have to tell them" Michael takes your hand and gives it a squeeze
"No it's ok" you take a deep breath and look at Grace "I had never done anything with anyone, wanted to wait till marriage, but as you are aware being a woman, living in Small Heath can be dangerous. My friends at I were walking home from a pub, we had been drinking. All I remember from that night was we were attacked. I woke up the next morning in the street with blood around me" you begin to get upset but carry on looking at Grace whose face has softened a little "I just went home after thinking nothing of it. Months later I stared to bloat, then my bleed stoped. When I saw a doctor I was told I was half way through my pregnancy. I was kicked out of my house because a man couldn't help himself"
"Oh my god" Polly gasps
"And you don't know who did this?" Tommy frowns looking at you, you can see anger in his eyes. You shake your head
"No, maybe if I saw them again I'd recognise them, but it's been over 3 years and I was drinking that night"
"Look. I really like YN and I want her to be part of my family. It's just her and Edee"
"Ok, well you best bring Edee here for dinner" Polly smiles at you.
A few days later you bring Edee over to Polly's for diner. Already hearing the noise from inside Edee hides behind your leg nervously. You turn around and pick her up in your arms
"Hey baby. I know your scared, but they will love you. Micheal does doesn't he?" Edee nods her head "it's ok to be a little scared, but remember how scared you were to meet Michael and you love him now" the door opens and Edee places her head into your neck
"What are you doing out here YN?" Polly asks you
"Someone's feeling a little nervous"
"Is that right? well I guess if she doesn't want to come in, I'll have to eat all of the chocolate biscuits" suddenly I hear a little gasp and feel Edee leave your neck
"Mamma biscuits"
"We best go in then shouldn't we?"
"Yeah mamma let's go"
Inside you see the Shelby brothers around the table laughing. Edee gets nervous again
"Hi love" Micheal walks over to you and kisses your cheek "hello Edee, I heard that you have been promised chocolate biscuits"
"Yeah mamma said" Edee mumbles
"Did she. Shall we find them?" Edee nods her head and leans over to Micheal for him to hold her. Grace walks over to you with Esme
"You know she looks like you" Esme tells you
"She does. Sorry how I acted before"
"It ok. A new woman coming into the family must be a little scary. Especially a woman who is already looked down upon"
"Hey your one of us now. Don't worry" John walks over to you putting his arm around Esme
"Mamma, mamma look" Edee runs over with chocolate all over her hands and face
"Wow. You're a little mucky aren't you? do you think you should wash those hands?"
"I can lick it" Edee starts to lick her fingers
"She will fit in very well with our family" Esme laughs
"Well I think we still need to clean you up"
"Here" Michael hands me a damp cloth
"Thank you"
"Mamma I like Polly's biscuits"
"That's good"
"She makes them better than you"
"Ay you cheeky thing" you nudge her a little making her giggle "I'm good at baking"
"Yeah when you don't burn them"
"She's got a point" Michael laughs
"Oh really. Well mamma won't make any more biscuits"
"Good. That means we can come here more" Edee then runs off to play with esme and johns kids
"Wow. Unbelievable. We've been here for an hour and Polly has stolen my child"
"She does all our kids. Quite handy when you need grownup time" John says then walks away with esme leaving just you and Michael
"You think she's happy?" you ask
"Definitely"
"Thank you Michael, for everything"
"Your both family. Come on let's join the others outside" Michael kisses your head then wraps his arm around your waist.

Because I don't have an entire LIST of Levi x reader ideas...here's another that could turn out to be a long one! Could also be written in third person.
Story outline part 1 of
Levi x deaf reader / female character (undecided)
Part 2 here : Part 3 here : Part 4 here : Part 5 here
---------
Main character is a very sweet, somewhat shy, deaf woman. Works as say, an animal healer. She works for little money under a veterinarian, but is happy in life and in her work with animals. She doesn't communicate much with people because they don't try, but she can read lips okay.
Levis beloved horse needs care and the best vet in town has some questionable methods and Levi sees how gentle female character (f/c) is with animals and makes it known he wants her to treat his horse.
In the meantime Levi also learns Armin has actually been interpreting for f/c sometimes and knows how to finger spell and enough signs to hold a conversation, and Levi asks him about f/c.
When Levi checks on his horse it's taken a liking to her and is much better. When Levi tries to pay, the vet tries to take credit and Levi makes sure she isn't cheated. He thanks her and spells out his name which leaves her excited and introducing herself.
A few days later she's in town buying things from merchants and unbeknownst to her is being made fun which soon turns into harassment. She tries to blow it off but Levi is in town too and puts them in their place. She tries to sign to him to calm down but he's pretty upset at her treatment and doesn't understand everything she's saying.
Levi continues to stay with her while she shops and they find themselves sitting down outside. He speaks to her so she can respond, and soon Levi knows basics like 'yes' and 'no', 'help' and so on. He also learns what name signs are and that she gave Armin his, and Levi tells her he wants her to give him one. She says she will if he'll use it.
There's a parvo outbreak among dogs in the area and the animal doctor is overwhelmed and will only treat those whose owners can pay. Reader works tirelessly and gives up her wages to obtain medicine needed for strays and family pets whose owners cannot afford treatment. Armin helps and when Levi finds out he does too. They're able to save just as many dogs as the doctor.
She's repaid by the grateful families with food or tools and other useful items, and because of her hard work she is soon she is being requested more.
Levi visits and tries to return her wages but she won't take it, however he finds ways to help by doing errands for her, and she shares her food with him. He goes over often, bringing his horse who remembers her, learns even more how to communicate in her language and soon gets his name sign.
Well, that's literally the first part of it! Shall we write it out? Later there's tiny time jump, with Levi getting to know her better, with a little bit of fluff, maybe a bit of angst, probably some feelings, and possibly a cliffhanger ending. That will lead to another part!

The Spectre ot Lanyon Moor
I. Love. Evelyn.
This is basically what I took from this audio thank you very much.
Ah, and the Brigadier is in it. He saves the world too.
No, but this story is actually really good. I was kinda hesitant to listen to it, because it sounded like the usual Doctor-Brigadier relationship which would end up taking a bigger chunk of the audio time. However, this relationship is really well included in the plot which is, u know, a advantage that this story has over...i don't know, that Tv fifth doctor who story whose name i can't remember :).
The plot is really good and the plot twists make the story more interesting (which is how u recognize a good plot twist!). The clifhangers are a little more meh, with the first one being the weakest.
Character-wise, I loved the more aged Brigadier, whom is aparently Pre-Kate (or she was not mentioned :) ), Philiph is a very lovable character, the lady with the dogs was made to be pitied (I hope, if not she was actually really annoying!) and can we hate the noble bastard?
Ah, ya, this story has a very obvious anti-title agenda, which makes sense for the time, but it's not very actual nowadays. Or at least for me, since my country does not care for titles since the begining of the last century :).
Everyone knows my opinion about Six, I love him. Is it an unpopular opinion? Maybe! But he just gives so much happiness-vibes!
It's an 8.5. I actually gave it a 4.5 in story graph, so it would be a 9, but an 8.5 sounds better.

...Why do I need a "positive vision" of the things the democratic party should stop doing? This is a bunch of excuses as to why things don't count or I shouldn't feel a certain way. Like, "you hate Hillary Clinton for being unsuccessful" No, I pointed out that she was a very bad politician, who was pushed by the Democratic party apparatus not because she was a good idea but because it was Her Turn, and thus ran a stilted and incompetent campaign that lost to a human dumpster fire. I said "this is why Hillary Clinton is incompetent" and you responded as if the only subject was being mean or not being mean to her?
Talking about the Democrats being stopped by the Republicans is a direct response to "It's true that Democrats only have agency over themselves, but they are not the only actors in this system." The agency of the other actors in the system is the Republicans, whose job is to stop them, and the Democrats know this and their job is to deal with it. Thus, saying "there are other actors in this system" is not relevant when talking about the Democrats being incompetent at doing things and getting people to vote for them. The only way it could try to be relevant is to say that the Republicans prevented them from doing things, and this is both a very common excuse and complete horseshit for the reasons noted.
And no, for the most egregious example, it is not "just some online leftists and certain academics" who hate white people. It is an incredibly powerful ideological movement that is synonymous with all current efforts to fight racism, one that people encounter constantly, one that is extolled by mandatory employee training courses and school-led diversity curricula and bestselling books and the uncensored commentary of a bunch of extremely influential people who we can see right there saying it. Large companies and organizations are acting in line with this insane race-cultist ideology, where we can see it happen, and when it happens, the Republicans say "that is fucked up they should stop that" and the Democrats say "no it didn't happen and it was good that it happened and you're a bad person." "Latinx" didn't happen out of nowhere, people used their influence to make that enter the lexicon despite all of the people it was referring to despising it. The American Medical Association didn't tell its doctors to explicitly instruct patients to support social justice policies and violate the most basic of medical ethics by fucking coincidence. The 1609 Project wasn't accepted into school curricula despite being a travesty of absolutely straight up you-could-not-have-possibly-done-this-on-accident inaccuracies because nobody was paying enough attention to it. And when the Trump White House passed an executive order that was completely and uncontroversially good and had no actual bad content in it whatsoever and had no secret racism and no dog-whistles and did not refer to "critical race theory" by name and only explicitly banned a set of behaviors that were absolutely 100% abusive and unacceptable and unconscionable, the Democrats lost their shit and one of the first things they did was rescind it.
Republicans passed an EO that said, and that only said, "You can't abuse people for being the wrong race or gender, even if you're really sure their race and gender are the bad kind." There wasn't anything else in it, you can read it in its entirety. That should be the easiest thing in the world to cede. If it was only a few online leftists and certain academics that don't have any real power who hate and want to abuse white people, the Democrats wouldn't have made a fucking peep about this. If the Democrats cared to even the slightest degree about not giving power to psychopathic race-cultists and abusing people based on their race But It's Okay When We Do It, they would have just let that EO slide on past them, make no fuss, don't let Trump take outsize credit for it, just went "oh of course that's obvious, there wasn't even a need to do it, who wants to do that kind of thing anyway?" Instead the Democrats lost their shit, made a huge public stink, occupied the entire news cycle for months about how racist this EO was, and as soon as they got in power they rescinded the order that said and that only said "You can't abuse people for being the wrong race or gender." You don't get to say it's not that important or not that relevant when you made it such a high priority to undo it.
And this goes right to the heart of the problem. You can't notice that. Your ideological alignment won't LET you notice that. No matter how obvious and how important, the only thing the Democratic zeitgeist can respond with is "That didn't happen, it's not that big, it's not that important, you're making things up." The Democratic coalition is beholden to absolute fucking psychopaths who all of us can see being absolute fucking psychopaths, who don't contribute anything of worth, and the Democrats cannot do the very simple thing of saying "Go away, you people are psychopaths, we don't like you." All they're capable of doing is saying "Those people aren't real, there's barely any of them, they have no power, it's just a few powerless radicals, that's why we refuse to say anything negative about them and think it's so important to defend what they do and lie about people who notice how insane it is." They cannot see anything they do wrong and then go "Why could we lose? It must be the voters' fault."
They know they're authoritarian, and they're proud.

Clinic
Just felt like I should get Dany to a hospital after what happened, right?
Content note - medical setting/hospital (nothing serious, but very cold medical professionals), referenced hand whump, lady whump, feelings of guilt, pet whump mention and a hint of suicidal ideation (to escape)
Referenced B, Ridley and Leo belong to @what-a-whump
[Dany Masterpost]
-
My memories of the hours following the bite are blurry at best. Pain, blood, screams. Ridley. B. I don't know where I end and where they begin, who is being hurt, whose voice is screaming, how much time passed until I lost consciousness.
Now it's night, and I'm not at the penthouse any more. I'm in some hospital room, a drip attached to my good arm, a handcuff securing me to the bed. I'm still in pain, but it's dull somewhat, pulsating at the edges of my consciousness. I must be high on drugs, I think dimly. I should enjoy it, while it lasts.
I try to look around, look anywhere but at my other hand. There are three other hospital beds in the room, clean and sterile, all of them holding shackles, none of them occupied right now.
No TV, no other furniture. Patients here don't need any luxury, I guess.
Someone is breathing heavily in a chair next to me, dozing peacefully. I don't know his name, even though I think I've seen him before. One of Leo's guys. A chuckle escapes me, turning into a low sob. Ridiculous. As if I've suddenly turned dangerous.
Someone is at the door, probably the reason I woke up. Two middle-aged women in white coats enter, step up to me without any greeting. "So, let's see what made Mr Luciano interrupt my date night, hm?", one of them says and reaches for my hand. I scream, as pain erupts, tears through the druggy haze I've been in. She doesn't even seem to care, not even as the man on the chair jumps up and draws his gun at her. "Easy, young man. I'm a doctor", she says, as she removes the bandages and prods at my fingers. I buck up instinctively, try to pull away, but I can't, there's nowhere to go.
"Should we have her gagged?", the other doctor offers, holding down my shoulder while the guard puts his gun away, somewhat embarrassed.
"Nah", the other says. "She'll have to tell me what I'm looking at here. Fighting dog got you?" She pauses and frowns at me. "Ohhh. I get it. Recognize your face. You're the girl that slimy asshole Ridley is going to marry, right?"
I give a short nod, fighting the nausea at the sight of my swollen, bloody hand.
"His doggo got jealous of his owner's new pet stealing all that attention, eh? That one is a vile creature. Not to complain though, it does generate us a steady income, patching up its opponents." Her iron grip turning my hand makes me scream again. Stars are dancing in front of my eyes. "Gosh, it all but shredded your hand, sweetheart, didn't it?" She looks at the other woman. "What's Luciano paying us for? Make sure it doesn't kill her, or… make her functional again? Two pairs of shoes in this case."
"She's going to be Mr Ridley's wife", the guard points out. "Mr Luciano wants her able to fulfill all her… marital duties."
"Well, girl has a pretty mouth, shouldn't that suffice to a man like him?" The doctor all but chuckles at her own words, before she steps. "Yeah, I get it, though. Wouldn't have ordered me if he didn't want a job done well. So, sweetheart, can you move your fingers? I don't care if it hurts."
Obviously, I think. I obey anyway, try to wiggle my fingers one at a time, wincing in pain. Tears are streaming down my face. Nobody cares.
She clicks her tongue and scrambles a note to a clipboard. "Half good, I'd say. Not all fingers broken, that's a start. Do you feel this?"
There's no change to the pain. I can't bear looking at my hand. "No", I whisper, and shake my head.
"Hm. This?" Still nothing. Another shake of my head.
She mumbles on, pushes and prods, sometimes jagged spears of fresh pain drive through me, sometimes it stays the dull, horrible ache itself. "Severed nerves", she says eventually. "Your dog's extras are worth the money, I guess. What's going to happen to it, anyway? Can't let it destroy his master's property unpunished, eh?"
I wince, pain and despair intermingling in my chest. B didn't want this. He didn't want to hurt me. It's my fault. My own pain. B's pain. B's punishment. All because I was weak for a moment, back in the hotel, weak for the man B could be.
"No questions beyond the medical", the guard says sharply. "That's what my employer paid you for, too, Doctor Leigh."
She casts him a glare, cold anger simmering through, and suddenly, she frightens me even more. "You don't boss me around, kid."
The other woman stops her with a quick hand on the arm. "Let's cut to the chase. Sweetheart." She's addressing me now. "We'll knock you out for surgery. Anything I have to know? Allergies? Medical issues? Don't want you to die on us. Not before your wedding, hm?"
I close my eyes. My wedding. I wish there was something I could keep from her, something that would make her drugs be too strong, that could just swiftly make it end, make me never wake up again. Make me not witness what Ridley would do to B for my mistakes. Make me not say my vows to this sick monster of a person. Make me never be touched by his hands ever again.
"No", I say, tears welling up in my eyes, because it's true. "I tolerate all sorts of anesthetics."
"Perfect", she replies, and scribbles something on a paper, before she stows her pen in her pocket. "Then you'll be right up."

@glassartpeasants I blame you for this.
Heartless, demon, cruel, cold, murder...
Those were honestly the kindest words you ever heard of him... yet your heart spoke the exact opposite.
The man could even commit arson right on your front and you couldn't just be... mad at him. Your thoughts about Chisaki never changed despite the attrocities he said and did on all those past few months.
Yet something truly did angered you. How he couldn't give a fuck about you.
After the boss entered on a coma for unknown reasons, Chisaki wasn't the same. Heck, now he demanded to be called by the name of his quirk, Overhaul. Is that or being a pool of blood and mutilated limbs on the ground.
Yet... you felt hope. You really felt hope that this man could change. Be the young man that you met and fell for. Just... notice something.
Notice your pain like he used to... or even show a tad bit of... care. That's all you wanted. Kai would always know when you were sad, on his own way try to comfort you. But now? He didn't even cared...
One tear of yours brushed past the cracks of your cheeks as you winced at only touching it... sighing a bit, you grabbed your mask and put it on. Ready to start the day.
Walking past the halls you saw the man himself standing on his foot. Your face brighten up a bit as you walked towards him.
"Ka-" you stopped immediately when he gaved you a harsh glare "Sorry... Overhaul. Good morning Overhaul." You mumbled.
He only scoffed, walking away from you and simply lifting his hand.
"I dont have time for this. Get to your work and don't bother me."
Each sentence like this one was like a stab on your chest... why would he answer a good morning of yours like that?
"A-Actually.." you tried to muster as he stopped with an annoyed sigh "Can we.. please talk?"
He narrowed his golden eyes at you, looking as if he had been staring at something hideous and that just fucking spitted on his face.
"Make it quick." He grunted, one of his hands resting on his hips as the other remained on one of his pockets.
"I-Is kinda silly ..." you poked your fingers together "I-I mean, we've know each other for more than years already and-"
"Spit it out." He hissed and your smiled dropped.
"... is just that... I felt like I needed to say it." You lifted up your head and stared at him without fear "I.. like you.. more than anything."
"... fine." He simply said like he was expecting something else as your body started to tremble.
".. fine? Is that.." you gulped the thick air on your throat "Is that all you have to say at someone who is confessing feelings for you?"
"Tch." He rolled his eyes before giving his back to you, only giving a side glance "That wasn't a surprise for me. You're like one of those loyal dogs. No matter how much they are kicked they come back crawling towards their owners."
You widened your eyes as you felt the crack on your cheek deepen.
"What?" You let out a gasp of disbelief as he blinked.
"For your information." He narrowed his golden orb at you harder "I dont like to repeat myself. You're just a toy and a obedient scum that is meant to follow my orders. Is only a matter of a lackey, in that case you, and the master." He started to walk as you stood dumbfounded.
Your hands formed into fists as your jaw clenched, finally a feeling you never thought you could feel towards this man appeared. Anger.
Without thinking you grabbed a vase and threw hard enough to almost hit his head, missing by a few inches as he widened his eyes at it.
He looked at the broken vase on the floor in shock before looking towards you, breathing in and out as you felt your skin cracking even more.
"If all I am to you is a loyal pet..." you breathed out, taking your mask off and eventually showing the cracks on your skin to him and the curious precepts coming to see the scene. "THEN YOU CAN TAKE THIS!" you threw the mask towards him that kicked on the floor and almost landed on his feet.
"You have some nerve now.." he growled, taking off his glove as a threat.
"DONT COME TO THIS SHIT TOWARDS ME NOW CHISAKI!" you shouted with a finger pointing at him as he felt his shoulders tense.
Never on your life with him you ever called him by his once surname.
"I was really the only one on this fucking house to truly respect you! Not by fear as almost everyone on here, but because I really am so stupid to fall in love with a bastard, selfish and arrogant man like yourself!" You walked towards him to be standing chest to chest with him as finger was aimed at his face.
"Quiet down." He growled before finally noticing the many cracks and pieces of your skin falling on the ground as you shouted "(Y/n) what-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" You shouted so loudly that even Rappa winced at the anger of your voice... every precept seing the scene as you breathed in and out "If you want to kill me do it now... would be a favor for yourself wouldn't it?" You glared at him as he blinked, still in shock at your actions.
"Not a word?" You commented as you winced at the cracks going to your neck already "For these past few years I wanted to see you happy, succeed... I fucking loved you..." you whispered in pain, dropping your head a bit, taking out a gift Chisaki had given to you a few years ago, a black and white bracelet you never once took off every since now.
".. I was stupid." You lift up your head with a frown and let the bracelet fall into the floor as you gave your back to him and almost ran out of the house.
He was in state of shock before he narrowed his eyes at the subbordinates and commanded them to get back to work... just when all of them left he crouched down to pick both your mask and the bracelet.
"... she will be back. It was just a tantrum." He sighed, taking the two of your once possesions to hsi office "But.. what on hell was that thing on her face?"
.
.
.
Five months... five months flew by since you exited the Shie Hassaikai for good. Going into the doctors to just search for a damn cure... but it was impossible.
"I'm sorry my dear, there is nothing we can do if..." your doctor of years tries to speak through the pain as you stood in the chair, your arms with cracks as part of your cheek was gone.
"I understand." You said, hollow as you always had been after leaving that house. "Thank you for your time... I will see you on the other side then." You managed a smile to the old man as he could only drop his head in shame when you left his office.
People you brushed through the streets looked at you with pity... and you hated.
You evicted the Shie Hassaikai like the plague himself. And one time you could feel Chrono following you.. it was the last straw when he followed you at the appartment you were living on the subborns.
"Go away Kurono." You muttered, feeling him watching you get your keys and open the door, and before you could close the door you groaned at sieng the black boot on the door, preventing you to close it.
"Can we at least talk? I'm not him." He said while taking off his mask, a wince escaping his lips as soon as he saw you on the state you were "What the-"
"Shattered heart disease... dont have a cure." You mumbled, eyes stuck on the floor as a piece of your ear cracked and fell.
"Holy fuck..." the man sighed shakily "Listen, maybe if you come back to the Hassaikai Overhaul can-"
"No." You grabbed the handle and forced the door "It was because of him I am on this state. And I know you came here by his others, and let me say one thing" let me die in peace." You slammed the door shut as Chrono groaned.
"Both of you are just so thick skull it gets on my nerves!" He kicked the door as you rolled your eyes, locking and going to the bed.
The man glared at the door before sighing, looking at his cellphone ringing and leaving the place.
"Forget it man. (Y/n) doesn't wanna see you or the Shie Hassaikai even if we offered her tons of gold."
"... fine. You did what I order so there is nothing that we cant do."
"Be honest Kai.. you do have feelings for her, for a long time." He ignored the disgusted "tch" on the other end of the call "And honestly? If I were on your shoes I would be almost killing myself to fix things." He spoke with a frown.
".. what are you talking about Chrono?"
"Well.." he looked over his shoulder at your apartment door "Ever heard of the Shattered heart disease..?"
"... you're joking with me, right?"
.
.
.
You clenched the side of your waist with a grunt as your other shattered arm support yourself on one of the walls of the apartment.
"No... please..." you whimpered as you gasped at part of your leg shattering as you felt on the ground, more cracks forming in your whole body as you stared in horror at your hand.
"Dammit..." you hissed before hearing a knock on your door.
"Open (Y/n)." You furrowed your eyebrows and gritted your teeth... the guy wouldn't leave you alone even on the freacking hour of your death..?
"Leave..." you sobbed, tears started to shed and unit with the many cracks on the floor where you were standing as you heard Chisaki overhauling the door.
It hurted tu see him... you still had feelings for the man whose caused you this... you didn't know whether or not if you wanted him to see you or not.
"I swear even when-" he stopped midsentence as soon as he saw the scene in front of him.
You could only lift your gaze up with a pained yet broken hollow look as he almost stuttered your name.
"Get out.." your lips cracked, and at this rate you knew you couldn't even move anymore or else it's you meeting death right away.
For the first time on his life his body seemed to move on his own as he kneeled with one knee on the ground beside you as he stared with wide eyes and shaky hands at the pieces of you on the ground.
"For crying out loud.." he muttered in horror as he brushed a hand on his hair before discarding hsi remaining glove in hopes he could put you back.
For the first time he saw you trying to slap his hand away, and your hand broke out of your wrist, shattering in pieces on the ground.
"(Y/n)!" He shouted in a mix of anger and desperation as he saw your face, one that would torment him at nights for the rest of his life surely.
"Don't.. touc..." you breathed out your last word as he widened his amber eyes in horror at seing you cracking even more "me..."
After this last word you saw black and the last thing you heard was Chisaki shouting.
Your body broke. Shattered in pieces right in front of him.
.
.
.
You breathed in harshly. Your lungs burned at the sensation of feeling air again inside them as you coughed...
Blinking, your vision focused a bit to see you were on your bedroom, everything seemed on order and even a tad bit cleaner than it was usually.
Groaning, you standing on your elbows and saw the bandages on your arms as you untangled them to see your skin back to normal... not even a single crack.
"What..?" You breathed out, standing in sitting with a groan as you looked at your surroundings.
You had the strenght again to move your legs and gasped at seing that the leg you saw shattering was still intact, not even a single scar or little crack on it. Standing up you like a newborn, you took a hesitant step only to smile in astonishment that you havent heard the sound of skin or bones cracking.
Walking towards the bathroom, you giggled in surprise and utter relief at sieng your face back to normal before you flinched at hearing something breaking.
"FUCK!" a thundering voice echoed in your apartment that made you flinch. Aa voice you knew it way too well to just forget it. You poked a bit if your head out of the bathroom and tip toes carefully towards the living room to see Chisaki, jacket discarded as well as his mask, back arched on the kitchen counter as he talked with someone on the phone with a gloved hand clenching one side if his head.
"I put all the pieces together already and it has been almost a month." He growled as you stepped inside the living room...
Different from your bedroom, this one was a disaster, papers tossed aside at everywhere, your own phone shattered in pieces near a wall and the couch was with a pillow and a blanket...
Was he..?
"Yes her skin healed but she doesn't appear to be breathing..." you looked at the man, his forearms were filled with hives and you could see by the reflection from the kitchen counter the huge eyebags that were underneath his eyes...
He looked so broken and... terrible.
".. just wait and see huh?" His voice spoke in venom as the hand gripping on his head lunched the counter "WHERE DID YOU ENROLL YOUR PIECE OF GARBAGE ?! NEXT TIME I WILL FUCKING CALL A LAB RAT IF I WANT A DECENT HELP!" and with that he overhauled the cellphone before literally breaking part of your kicthen counter.
"Dammit..." he whispered, a hand on the counter as he fixed back while the other was covering his face...
"Uh..." you mumbled ".. Chisaki?" He flinched at the name and slowly took his hand out of his face.
Ever so slowly his face turned to see you, his eyes tired and red from sleep deprivation but still just as wide as if he had seen a ghost.
".. (Y/n).." he whispered your name before straighting up his back, god, not even his shirt was folded, part of his button up shirt was unbuttoned leaving part of his chest at shown to you.
You could die happily now.
You both stared at each other for a bit, still in shock as you decided to see for real if your arms were still there and without any mark.
"Uh.. can you.. tell me what happened and what are you-" before you could finish you gasped at him suddenly moving to be mere inches away from you.
"Please tell me this is not another fucking hallucination... " he breathed out as you stood there awkwardly.
"Well, I would like to not be.. I literraly died the last time I remember and-" you stopped breathing and talking just when in one blink of an eye Chisaki kneeled on the ground and cradled your hands in his own as he breathed out shakily "C-Chisaki-"
"My god..." he exhaled as he supported his forehead on your two interviewed hands "Thank God... I thought.. I thought I lost you for real..."
You blinked, frowning while looking away from him.
"Wasn't I just a loyal pet as yourself named it?" You mumbled as he let out one of the most painfull chuckles you ever heard of.
"If you were... was I really going to pass each day picking your pieces together... live on this house because I trusted none to take care of you... ever time I woke up and in very five minutes I checked for your breathing and only lord could describe the amount of relief I had when I saw the cracks on your skin dissapearing... I didn't notice earlier how much I needed you in my life... until I fucked up..." he dropped his head again while getting up.
"... so you.. never leaved after that?"
"Didn't take one single step out of this place... I was never one to pray but god..." he brushed his gloved hand on his messy and greasy hair "I lost count on how many times I begged for whoever is up there to bring you back..."
"... why? I thought.."
"The thing is..." he breathed shakily before locking gazes with you "You only give value to the things you loved after you lose them... I learned that from the hard way..."
