#edit: alright i'm not unique at all and i love you guys. you all get me!

[catty-words]

Your answer to my last ask has given me so much to think about! I love hearing you talk about narrative!! More thoughts on that to come but I’m still chewing.

This is isn’t particularly relevant to s4 but I’m just getting cranky all over again about Ben’s s3 scene with his dad. They legit just “🎶we’ll never have problems again!”’d it.

I let it slide because we had season 4 but now we’re done and it’s like…wait that’s…that was for serious? What in the actual hallmark fuck was that?

I know the scene meant a lot to people and I hope I’m not bumming anyone out but to me it read as wish fulfillment and trite?

I didn’t realize how pissed I was until now. 😂

happy to be pissed about this with you! i've been pissed the whole time!! in fact, i've been pissed since season two's "last night, i stood up to my parents for the first time in my life. now we're gonna have dinner together once a week."

and look, i think i'm probably a unique ben fan in this case because i never wanted his parental relationship to be resolved. i liked it as a bit of character building, a fact of his life, and i was interested to see how his understanding of his parents was going to morph and change over the seasons but i'd have been more than content to never see or hear from them directly again.

so yeah, the show sweeping all the neglect under a rug like 'it's actually fine now, his emotional needs are being met at home' *jazz hands* was worst case scenario. me @ the nhie writers: you ruined some perfectly good anxiety. look at it, it's got an unearned resolution.

FKC Mini-Update 2/21/23

Alright, don't have a lot for this update, but hey, I thought I might as well keep posting so people are aware this project is still very much active! I'm currently on Mardi Gras break, and will be utilizing the next two days to work on writing Dustin's Route. There is a bit in Dustin's Day 1 that was originally going to take me a hell of a lot of time, in which I would be writing eight unique chunks of dialogue based on three options the player chooses in a row. However, for the sake of getting a rough draft out ASAP, I have streamlined it to where each topic will flow into each other without much of a missed beat. The eight interactions might appear in a later installment of the game, though.

However, while I'm here, I'd like to announce that the FKC Tumblr now has a new header image, courtesy of our new artist: Rose! I'm extremely happy with the art and I'm so glad we have another great artist on the team. Here's the full image because Tumblr dimensions are wack lol

Anyway, in an absence of content on my end, I'll go ahead and put out what is completed, what is currently being worked on, and what I'm hoping to achieve in the future:

The rough draft of Rich's route is done. However, in an effort to keep up with momentum during the earlier stages of writing when I wasn't on ADHD meds, I ended up skipping a whole part and promptly forgotten that I had skipped it. It's still very much a draft with a lot of repetition that I need to iron out, solely because when you work on something for so long in spaced out intervals, you forget what you did previously.

Once all of the incredibly messy drafts of each route are completed, I will be going back to revise them and hopefully get to a point where I can personally playtest the early stages of the game.

Also, in addition to completed routes, Rich and Jeremy's routes will have secret routes. These won't be as important and as high priority, as they are genuinely just me throwing some OCs into a fangame. But hey, if you like hot, borderline criminal bad boys, or flower-loving, theater kid soft boys, then I've got just the routes for you ;)

With the way I'm writing the routes, I'm also simultaneously coding. Or half-coding, anyway. I'm writing it all in a way that makes it easy for me to simply copy and paste it into ren.py, and then I just edit the Python from there. Double tasking woo!

I also have basic GUI assets that I made,,two years ago,,so I'll need to revise those. But aside from the title screen art, everything looks moderately okay and is completely functional.

At the moment, I'm working on Dustin's route. This is going to be heavily headcanon-based, I'm warning everyone now, but it doesn't stray far from canon. He's just a little unique because there's not a lot of canon information about him

Also, I don't know if I ever clarified this, but each route will be structured in the same format: The default exposition (where you choose your route), around 5 in-game events (or days), the dance day (where your bachelor of choice has invited Michael to the school dance), and if you're lucky, the date day (self explanatory, only available on good endings). In addition, each route with have a bad, neutral, and good ending. This does not include secret endings

After the Dustin Route, I plan to start Jake's, and then Jeremy's (sorry Boyfs shippers!). When all are completed, I'll start revision and the addition of the secret routes.

When the writing stage (which I'm almost entirely sure will be the longest) is mostly complete, we'll be going into the art stages. I have several talented artists already volunteered to help out, and I will likely make a hefty portion of my own. Art will include backgrounds, GUI assets, sprites, and possibly promotional pieces.

And after the art stage, we'll start playtesting a beta version so we can figure out bugs, adjust the stories as needed, and overall gauge the interest of the BMC fandom :)

I would love to create background music for the game at some point, and have the capability to do so, but that genuinely might not get there until later stages of development

Though this is far off, after the game's release, I'd also like to release events. These events would allow for a new storyline to be played regarding Michael and the rest of the BMC crew. These will largely be either self-indulgent or catering towards the fandom as a whole, such as writing all the characters in FKC into an AU. These sort of events would happen for things like Halloween, Christmas, Valentines, etc. Again, far off! But I'd like to make it at least known

The vibes I got while playing botw were so fun!! could you reccomend me ur fav Zelda games? Or just have fun explaining them? I'd love some good recs if u have time! ^^

AWAH YOU ENJOYED BOTW????? I'M SO GLAD;;; IT'S THE GAME EVER FR... I WANNA HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS SOMETIME IF THAT'S ALRIGHT;; 🥰

I'LL TRY MY BEST TO REC GOOD ONES;;!!!

Uuuuu okay so I've played every Zelda game besides the Oracle duo & the Four Swords BUT I have watched playthroughs!! Botw is a very unique Zelda game because it was created to break the status quo of the series so there isn't another Zelda game quite like it!! The others are very linear stories! So based on botw that's a hard one to follow up....

For you I think you would like Twilight Princess's vibes!!!!!! I love twpri..... It's sort of got this eerie but sacred vibe like "do not be afraid" as you get further in the game and I think the mature tone suits you! I think you would also really like Midna and the light/twilight/dark symbolism (it is a bit heavy handed since it's a rated T game lol but I enjoy it) also you are a dog in that game. :)

A Link Between Worlds might also interest you, it's got the whole mirror worlds going on and I don't want to spoil it but the story is really good imo :>> not the most complex but who cares!!! Is good!!!!!! I think you would like Ravio and Hilda :>

As for my favorite, it's Skyward Sword bec I'm a baby who likes the water colors BUT ALSO heavy religion themes and I love those >:3c Zelda becomes catholic the game but it's like. What if Jesus was your girlfriend and I love that 💞 The dungeons are also very fun especially the ancient cistern. The story is also HEAVILY important to botw's.... also my favorite Link !! Is here!!! He's so talkative and so silly just the guy ever he just loves his best friend soso much and he just wants to sleep and he's like a disney princess w/ birds and that's iconic of him <3 + The moments when he's like dead serious you KNOWW he's dangerous bec what did you possibly do to piss HIM off...... Also Zelroolink polyam is endgame. 2 me. 😌 AND THIS ZELDA??? The fans sort of infantalize her but she's so complex and interesting and tough as nails she's my gorf. GirfFriend. Hylia my loathed beloved.......

If you're okay with playing the most ugly as shit game ever, Spirit Tracks is also in my top 5 :) THE STORY IS BASIC AND BAREBONES BUT YOU DRIVE A TRAIN AND ZELDA IS YOUR COMPANION!!!!! THE WHOLE TIME!! SHE'S JUST THERE!!! NO SEPARATION LIKE USUAL!! AND SHE'S A HELPFUL QUEEN WHO CAN IN SOME CASES KILL FOR YOU AND I LOW HER SHE'S MY FAVORITE ZELDA AND HER N LINK'S RELATIONSHIP IS SOOOO GOOD HERE!! So like the black and white plot doesn't even matter bec ?? They're slaying??? And the puzzles are really fun :)

OKAY OKAY I'VE TALKED ENOUGH THIS IS SO LONG;;;;; special Wind Waker mention bec it's a perfect game but I didn't want to name all the 3D Zeldas 🥲🥲

EDIT - WAIT HERE'S ONE OF THE GOOFY CUTSCENES I WAS TALKING ABT

The Ultimate Compilation Callout Part 2

Alright, everyone! I, for one, am ready for this to just be over and done with. I am sick and tired of my Che'nya roleplay blog NOT HAVING ROLEPLAY FUN.

So, I'm going to do a quick reminder:

I DO NOT CONDONE HARASSMENT. Just block her accounts and move right along!

Give this intro:

I will say some of this is rehashing, but I wanted to put it all on one place. And there IS new information - it includes her "apologies" to Leona's mod and some of her other claims. And it also proves once and for all that Leona's mod was ASLEEP for this drama and therefore should not have been blamed at all. I still have no idea why she is so obsessed with trying to make them the bad guy when I am literally right here. They could have gone after me. Granted, they would have failed, because they are the one in the wrong, full stop. But still.

Going after the one person who did not go after you?

That sure is a. That sure is a CHOICE, isn't it?

But anyway, I think this part is going to go over into ANOTHER reblog as well because even on my laptop with the 30 image limit, I have... a lot of receipts. :)

But I am well-rested finally so I'm just going to finally get all these parts out. One reblog after another. The only caveat I will give is that there will POSSIBLY be one more part including screenshots compiled and given to me by other users that have had their own interactions with her. That would have to come later as I have not edited them.

And just get into this so I can get back to roleplaying Che'nya as soon as I possibly can because I miss being the mad Cheshire Cat damnit:

So, obviously, this is not even close to the only instance of this mod going after and attacking Leona with her characters. Especially over Cheka for some reason - even though the only Cheka account that I personally know of I also know for sure is not run by them. This is just the event that set off the chain reaction that ultimately led to all finally coming to light.

@/castaway-achlys has already come out as one of Leona mod's friends, same as me. They were the first one to post things screenshots on Tumblr while I was busy taking it to the next level on Discord. They've given me permission to use a lot of their screenshots here in my compilation.

In case it wasn't obvious here, they also happen to be Ekua Nuru.

Giving an excuse to say it's not really that bad before shifting the emotional focus to her, rather than Leona's mod, and trying to earn sympathy. This is especially shitty in this case considering the problem she is trying to gain sympathy for is her own is one of her own making.

Maybe if you didn't feel the need to make a blog for every new character and over-saturate the roleplay community with yourself, your blogs wouldn't die so quickly. And if you only focused on one blog, or maybe two, maybe you could actually learn how to make your characters uniquely them instead of making them all act the same - shitty, just like you. :)

Oh, but I forgot. She made all the spam accounts to try to throw off her underaged stalker. And she chooses to keep making them when anyone shows even a slight interest in seeing a character in an rp setting because... uhhh... I'm not sure. She didn't tell me that lie yet before she blocked me.

Anyway, after this exchange in public, our lovely Malleus mod decided to take things to DMs. Because she did not like being called out in public. Heh.

Look at that lovely lie! She tried the exact same shit she pulled on @/elysia-nsimp in the Discord chat all the way back in March. She tried to say she and the Falena mod were not the exact same person. That she was just "defending her friend." Not even close.

And so Ekua/Castaway called them out - if she was going to DM them and attack them simply because they asked her to give Leona's mod some breathing room, Ekua/Castaway was going to give as good as they got.

Now, see what Ekua/Castaway would have sent... if they had not been blocked by the Malleus mod. It wasn't until later that the Malleus mod suddenly unblocked them in order to send this to them:

"The problem isn't me."

I'm not going to use up an image on this since I have so many to go through, but please, for best effect imagine a "Sure, Jan" gif here

Also, this was one of the only parts of the conversation she included in her post where she was trying to explain her side of the story to help "prove" her innocence. Needless to say, I will be touching on that, but I wanted to mention it now. I'm sure you can already see how she would try to take that out of context, considering her screenshot was cropped exactly the same way - just that message.

Now, she mentioned in that little hissy fit of hers that she messaged Leona's mod. Would you like to see her lovely message to them?

"Hey, I know irl you're sick so like get well soon or whatever. Now that the obligatory pleasantries are out of the way, can you tell your friend that is defending you to shut the fuck up? I totally understand if you don't like the way I'm roleplaying but also if you don't like it you're wrong because *insert heavily paraphrased, personal interpretation of canon.* However, if it's really that big of a deal for you, I don't mind dropping him for a while and going to some of my numerous other side blogs. Like... I'm not going to change or anything. I'll just let him disappear for a little bit so people will stop calling me out. Also, I'm not once going to say the words "I'm sorry" because I'm not. :D"

What an apology! Bravo! 10/10! Everyone give her a round of applause! /sarc

Can we tell I'm getting more and more petty and spiteful towards her for hurting my friends and less pure rage-filled the longer I'm sitting on this? Lmao

Now, let's move on to Discord. Leona's mod may not have responded to Malleus mod's lovely little message here on Tumblr, but they did speak to her in the mod chat. What do you mean she said that Leona's mod never responded to her "apologies" in her explanation post? What do you mean the Malleus mod lied? When has she ever done that?

"Here's the thing... (excuses)." "I was told to..." "I understand... (no apology)." "It's actually this person's fault..." "I was doing what I was told..."

*insert the "Sure, Jan" gif but it's glitching*

Also. I would like to pause here to point out the blog she was saying she was going to delete.

Let's put aside the fact that she is still blaming everyone but herself for the drama happening.

That blog and this post is still up. (I took this screen capture yesterday but I checked today and as of making this post it still exists).

She made the post saying "it's being deactivated" on May 12. It is now May 18. And before anyone asks, thinking maybe she didn't have the time to do it before the Big Drama happened and made her not want to do anything for Leona's mod, the Big Drama went down May 15.

But either way, that shouldn't matter because she said she would deactivate it on the 12th and...

*the "Sure, Jan" gif is barely visible through the glitching*

Add that lie to the list! You do not need to wait to deactivate. If she was really going to delete or deactivate that blog, she would have done so. No post or wait necessary! Are we really surprised at this point though?

NOW!

I am actually going to end this Part 2 here! I will call this the Buildup Part lol.

I was going to split it into the two separate dramas, big Drama and the Return, but looking at the picture limit and my pictures, it will be easier to split it into...

Part 1: A History of Lies (my first post)

Part 2: The Buildup to the Blowout (you are here! lol)

Part 3: The Big DramaTM

Part 4: Others Experiences (possibly...I may just choose to let you all share these on your own and be done myself)

Like I said. I honestly hate this? I know it doesn't seem like it because I'm going so in-depth, but this is honestly my OCD in play a lotlittle bit and also I just want it all out there so I can just wash my hands and move on.

I can't wait to get back to roleplaying our favorite mad Cheshire Cat. I even have a couple of asks that I've answered and saved them in my drafts, ready to post whenever this is all done.

The Ultimate Compilation Callout

Hey Guys! AR OOC once again to say I am 100% done.

I'm done with this. I thought it was finally dying down and the drama was finally getting to be over with but then she came back and is now trying to say that we are the ones in the wrong. And she is STILL trying to blame Leona's mod when, as both @/castaway-achlys and I have stated numerous times at this point, they were asleep during the entire event. They did not ask for us to defend them. We were both just tired of hearing our friend be exhausted and stressed out by her.

And the fact that so many people have come out to give their own experiences of her being rude and cruel to them just proves this is not a singular event.

I'm putting all this under a cut because it's gonna get long guys. In fact, I’m probably going to end up needing to create a couple reblog chains to get it all out.

But I'm done playing nice. I have all the receipts. Like I went allllll the way back to when the discord was first created. I caught her in her first lie.

Which, coincidentally, her very first lie in the Discord server happened on the very first day it was formed. What a way to start.

I call her the Malleus mod as an identifier in these screenshots, because unlike her, I am not petty enough to reveal peoples’ personal information on the internet just because I don’t like them.

HOWEVER. I will remind everyone that she is not JUST the owner of the Malleus account. Even if you don’t want to look under the read more because there are a LOT of receipts, know that these are all her known blogs.

I do not condone harassment. Harassment is basically what started all this. Just block and go.

Before we get too far into it I will say there is a slight color code! But only a tiny one!

Gross light green color - look at that lie! 👀

Gross darker green color - a lie is revealed! 🤭

Orange - note the date/time! 🗓️⏰

Let me show you what I mean in the lie I’ve already mentioned - her very first one. :)

There we have the orange, telling you to note the date. That’s because I was wanting to make sure it was known that the pet posts were made on the same date that the discord was created.

And then we have the gross light green around Malleus mod claiming that this bunny is her bunny and that it was her bunny’s birthday recently.

Now here is the follow up with the gross darker green of a lie revealed. 😌

And there we have it! The color coding system and her very first lie told the very first day the Discord channel was active and easily disproven with an image search.

Now let’s get into the FUN STUFF! /sarc

We’re going to be doing some rehashing here but I’m also going to probably be including some new things so stay with me folks! This’ll be a ride! Buckle up!

So, originally I was thinking I'd start with the current drama. But considering that a lot of that has already been covered and what hasn't been covered needs more context, I'm just going to keep going in chronological order, I guess.

I've been up for over 24 hours compiling receipts, editing them to protect IDs, and then getting them all sorted so let's finally do this so I can pass out!

First up is something that actually has been covered a bit but I'm going to expand on it slightly - her blatant lie to @/elysia-nsimp (I'm not tagging anyone because I'm not forcing anyone to get notifications on this lmao).

Here's what everyone has already seen. But to expand on the event, we didn't call her out on her bad behavior, even though we probably should have as she had just lied straight to another mod's face about her blog ownership. I simply DM'd the mod in question privately to make sure they were okay and then tried to keep the peace in the main chat.

Because, believe it or not with this major callout post, I don't generally like confrontation. But I stepped in there for Elysia and I stepped up during this for Leona's mod.

Now, later that night, she posts this as if nothing had happened and she hadn't just been told that she needed to work on her roleplaying skills:

Uh huh. Sure. That's your last account. Because you have shown so much self-control when it comes to filling character voids within the twst rp community already. I'll be generous and give you a month before you break.

Now these next ones need a tiny bit of background information and a note: the Malleus mod is German and, as far as we know, lives in Germany. These next pictures are little indicators that she has not experienced the United States at all. These indicators may not seem important now, but they will be in just a little time. So keep them in mind for after the pause.

You cannot tell me anyone who has spent any length of time in the United States has not at least heard of Walmart.

Quick pitstop to say wow! You didn't even make it a month! Congratulations!

Also, note the question from the admin and the pretty obvious passive aggressiveness from me. We were sending plenty of hints that they needed to stop - sometimes coming outright and saying it, sometimes simply implying. Either way, we were all ignored.

She says she's not a mind reader. Well, apparently she's just not a reader period.

Now... a bit of an oddball here. And I want to say I do not necessarily think this is a lie. I am including it for a lie that is coming. The one that I included all those America comments for.

I'm sure you will note that I said that I don't "necessarily think" it's a lie - indicating that I do think it could be a possibility. That would be correct.

She has been lying since day one and, after this doozy of a story I'm about to share with you, I honestly don't know what to believe when it comes to her.

So.. to sum this up...

We went from a cringe ask from an OC account that she didn't want to answer -> the asker wasn't supposed to be on tumblr because they were underage (???) and was trying to date her irl and somehow had all of her information (oh but don't worry guys she deleted the ask!) -> he found her social media accounts and sent her NSFW pictures and started spam liking, demanding pictures of her kids, sent pictures of her at-the-time boyfriend, sent pictures of his family and his kids -> so she blocked him on everything and then started spam creating the rp accounts to see if he did it with other people or if it was just her (...mmmhmmm...) but nope he was only interested in Malleus -> she then apparently moved to America for a bit to crash with her boyfriend because this underage person went to Germany to find he.

Oh, by the way, why was this guy obsessed with her? Oh, he was obsessed with German women. He decided that all German women were pretty. And she's German-Russian! And Russians have intense standards for women you know! After this guy found out she was German AND Russian, I mean... it was only a matter of time before he upped his game to try to find her!

Guys, she's not saying she's too beautiful for her own good - the underage stalker speaks for itself!

Now, since this stalker found her through her Malleus account and was obviously very determined, you would think the first course of action would be to, ya know, delete the Malleus blog. Right?

No, no, no! Then she would have to start all over and, of course, if she switched accounts she would be forced to make a post on her current blog saying what her new blog is and he would just find her there. That's why she's trying to make her other accounts more active than her Malleus account (her Malleus account was still, by far, before all this happened, the most popular of all her rp blogs)!

Can I also mention that in that post announcing her pregnancy ON HER MALLEUS ACCOUNT WHERE SHE SUPPOSEDLY HAS A STALKER, she had tagged ALL OF HER BLOGS AT THE TIME?

But yes, Malleus mod. I definitely believe your story. :)

Please. Please tell me you all can understand why I just cannot find it in me to trust a single word coming out of this woman's mouth.

Especially now that during this whole drama, she has been lying through her teeth and trying to pin the entire blame on Leona's mod.

Now this part is nearly over (thank whatever gods anyone believes in) but let's just post the last few of the "before drama happened" pictures, shall we?

...I'm realizing I didn't underline the part where I called her out for having that many blogs in the gross dark green of a lie caught... oops. This is what happens when you have far too little sleep.

But either way, here is another time when she was called out on a lie of hers. And her little comment at the end means she read it and she acknowledged us.

She just didn't care because it didn't suit her.

~~~~~~

ALRIGHT!

THAT'S THE END OF PART ONE!

Yeah. This is going to come out in PARTS. I can't cover it all in one post because there is a picture limit.

So, I'm going to end up making a reblog chain...

Eventually.

Real talk? I need to sleep. Desperately. It's nearly two in the afternoon where I am and I have not slept yet.

Do not underestimate the power of spite and my loyalty to my friends. Both are very strong motivators.

But my body's needs are finally winning.

When I wake up, I'll have the Ultimate Drama Arc to post and expand upon and then the Return of the Drama Arc.

Yay. (said in the most unenthused voice ever lmao)

Anyway. Enjoy all this. I'm gonna go die. /j

fandom: the lost boys

paul x fem! reader x marko

length: long

warnings: reader rants, slight insecurities, tiniest bit of insecure paul, one shower thought, mostly light hearted content, slight lime towards the end.

a/n: I'm in this kind of mood - y'know, late night talks with somebody, but peacefulness and light joking? yeah, like that. figured I'd write this. originally I was just gonna write it with paul, but I thought marko would fit into this as well. hopefully you guys enjoy <3. / ps. not proof read, sorry for any spelling errors! /

edited a/n: I decided to do this a bit differently than what I had planned.. but I still think it turned out alright. let me know if it was enjoyable for you guys, I love feedback.

( unedited, started 4.28.22 - finished 5.7.22 )

the stars that dotted the galaxy-themed sky were beautiful. twinkling, sprouting apart yet staying together in groups, shining bright for all to see. they casted a great amount of light and hope over many of the people that strutted around santa carla that night, including a lone, young woman that lye on her back on the infamous cliff's surface.

y/n was never one to particularly obsess over stars, or even astronomy. she had conclusions that there was much to the world; much more to the galaxy, and space itself. but she was never a person to make her entire personality on the solar system, or look to the stars for guidance, or talk to the moon when she needed to rant.. but, that night specifically, she just felt the need to lay out and stare at the sky. the wonders lurking above drew her in; clouding her mind with not only many ideas, but reminding her she'd never be as perfect as the shiny specs in the astro domain.

while her ( dark/medium/light ) orbs of blossom dusted around, taking in every aspect of the beautiful sky above, two presences were made known. one body laid on her right, while the other made itself accompanied to her left. she didn't have to look to know who was who - the weight, and jingling of different clothing alone, told her the right answers. plus, each male had their own unique smell.

“ hey, marko.. ” the small girl mumbled to the curly haired blonde on her left, once the smell of oil paints and fresh caramel greeted her. the little vampire seemed to have a caramel apple kick recently, so it was no surprise he smelled like the sticky substance that covered the north end of the boardwalk.

“ hey, gorgeo- what, I don't get a hey?! ” marko's reply was cut short by the whining of no other than paul, the lighter toned blonde that was perched on her right side. an amused smile curled onto y/n's lips upon hearing his voice, causing her to finally turn her head away from the sky to look at him.

“ way to go, idiot.. ” marko could be heard mumbling under his breath, once the girl's attention was off of him. she heard him, but paid no mind; choosing to hold a hand out to paul, who was now glaring at the other male. “ don't listen ta' him, paulie - he's just jealous, ” the young woman teased in a light tone, managing a small laugh once the vampire instantly curled into the palm that cupped his cheek. “ — I'm sorry I didn't say hi. I just got a wiff of marko's scent and got distracted. ”

“ s'okay.. ” paul mumbled, letting his eyes close momentarily as he let out a contest sigh. “ I get distracted too, when I smell you.. so I know how it is, butterfly. ”

god, that nickname... everytime the usually high-on-end vampire called her it, her hearted fluttered and continued to sore right into the clouds. she loved how weak him, and his coven brothers, could make her feel with just simple names she adored. it showed that their bond truly was special.

“ we came to see why you've been gone so long.. ” the soft voice of marko in her ear, made her chuckle quietly under her breath; the light feel of his own breathing ghosting over her nape as gentle kisses were left behind. “ y'came out here a few hours ago and never came back - we got worried, angel. ”

another nickname that made her weak in the knees.. marko stuck to sweet nicknames; sometimes unique, sometimes common. but the few he has given her, have made y/n's head fuzzy.. in a good way, of course.

“ I just needed to clear my head.. ” the grin the girl had wore slightly fell, her eyes casting over with a distant look. as paul slid his own eyes open, he caught the glaze over of sadness her orbs held; this caused him to share a look with marko from over their mate's shoulder, seeing as the curly haired male had too, seen the sudden change.

“ ‘ clear your head? ’ - of what? ” paul mumbled, switching his attention back onto y/n. she came back to reality after that question was thrown, causing her to look back into the crazy blonde's eyes that held worry. “ you can talk to us, babe.. ”

“ dido, ” marko floated away from the space he took behind his girlfriend, only to appear in front of her line of vision; body slightly hovering above ground in a laid back position. cheek propped into his palm, while he laid on his side, legs crossed. “ we're always around to listen, y/n. ” and from y/n's point of view, it looked as if marko wanted to say more.. but he didn't. she knew he wasn't always a crazy goof, didn't always have the intention to be evil and kill, but she also knew marko only showed his vulnerable and serious side at certain times. with her, mostly, it was when the two were alone.

“ well.. ” the female sighed, looking away from marko's stern gaze with a drop of her eyes. she was now sitting up, legs in a criss-cross position; both hands seated in her lap. “ the other night on the boardwalk, I was looking at the other girls walking around.. y'know - wavy and curly hair that looked perfectly tamed, waists that seemed slim enough to fit a model's persona, busty bodies that looked just.. right. ” y/n couldn't make eye contact with the two blondes while she spoke, afraid she'd see judgment or disappointment within them for pointing out that she truly didn't meet their standards. “ all the things I'm.. not. ” biting her bottom lip, an inhale was taking through her nose to calm her growing nerves.

talking like this out loud was tricky, and awkward, and made her anxiety rise a lot because she wasn't used to doing this - talking about her insecurities. she didn't know if sounded stupid, or awkward, or even attention seeking.. she didn't know, because she couldn't see from another person's point of view. for all she knew, she could sound like a complete idiot. it terrified the girl, not knowing something; not knowing if she was making herself look like a fool. even though she couldn't possibly know, however, she continued to talk.

“ I know I'm not ugly, but I don't think I deserve you guys.. four, incredibly attractive vampires that have been around for a while; that could get anyone they want.. ” shifting her eyes from off of the ground, she tilted her head back, only to stare at the glistening sky once more. she heard paul inhale sharply, as if he wanted to say something, but she beat him to it. “ I just feel like I'm not enough. and saying this out loud is killing me, ” she pressed her lips together, to try and collect herself, for a small sob threatened to spill through. tears had already gathered on her waterline by then.

“ - but it feels nice to.. to tell you guys, ” y/n finally managed to look at marko and paul, all while her words shakily flew out; small breathes being taken in between. “ even if david and dwayne aren't around... because I know if they were here, I'd actually burst from sounding so pathetic. ” weakly laughing, the young women tore her eyes away from the fallen expressions of her two lovers. she knew she sounded weak, and they probably were only pitying her, but she still couldn't look at them. seeing hurt flash through paul's clay colored, blue spirals broke her heart - and even though her anxiety was convincing her that they didn't truly care... she knew, somehow, that paulie was actually hurting for her.

“ butterfly.. ” the formerly mentioned whispered raspily, sounding almost broken; catching the attention of y/n almost immediately, causing her to raise her head. bangs sweeped across her forehead loosely, swaying as the cool night air blew through. “ why didn't you tell us you felt that way? ” the bright blue eyes that usually shined with happiness, now flashed with hurt and sorrow; the slightest bit of tears gathered at the surface of them being seen, if you looked hard enough.

seeing paul so choked up made y/n regret ever speaking, but she knew it had to be done. otherwise, her own emotions would just bottle up, until she couldn't take it anymore and exploded. they couldn't have that, now could they? “ we don't feel that way. ” marko's low voice now captured her ear. she turned her head to look at the rowdy male, only to see a completely serious look on his face; brows furrowed unusually tight and lips drawn downwards in a frown. “ you're perfect to us, y/n. we don't care how other people look; especially not those whores that crowd the damn boardwalk. ”

a small smile twitched onto the girl's lips upon hearing the crude name, but she didn't dare comment; opting to listen, once paul reached out and cupped her chin between his forefinger and thumb. turning her face back to him. “ babe, we love you, ” he mumbled, face closing in on his girlfriend's slowly, just until their faces were merely inches apart. “ - no one else catches m'attention the way you do... you're the only one that matters, in my eyes. ”

y/n knew paul was telling the truth. he was rarely ever serious, so seeing him like this, showed her he wasn't lying. plus, he wouldn't dare lie to her - she was the one he loved dearly, and lying would only hurt her. why would he hurt his little butterfly?

“ and believe it or not, you're the only one that's ever told david, to his face, that his breath smelled like shit. ” marko cheekily piped in, causing both y/n and paul to look at him. a smirk was curled onto his lips, as he leaned forward, fingers moving to run through the female's hair before threading into a tight grip near her scalp. once he tugged her face towards his, a small gasp left her lips, “ I fell in love with you the moment his face dropped. I've never seen him so shocked before. ”

paul barked his usual laugh, while the smaller of the two grinned sheepishly; cheeks slightly reddening. “ well, that was a while ago.. ” her eyes drifted away slowly, in thought. “ I didn't mean to say that.. It just slipped out because he pissed me off, ” both of the blonde's grinned at their lover's choice of wording. “ but.. wait- ” specs flickered back to meet marko's own; lips parting in surprise. “ you said you were in love with me.. as in- you love me.. ”

it was no secret that all four of the boys love y/n, but the only one to ever say it out loud was paul. the three word sentence fell from his lips barely a month into their relationship, but y/n, and everyone else knew, the words were genuine. the other three were just a bit more reserved; showed their love, instead of saying such a cheesy meaning. yet, here marko was, saying it to the girl he adores because he felt the need to.

and it was worth risking his pride over.. the happiness shining in her eyes? he made that happen, and he loved it.

“ of course I love you.. ” marko mumbled, his eyes sofrening and cheshire grin dropping to a close. licking his lips, he glanced down at y/n's in thought. “ just never knew how to say it. it's not exactly easy, saying something like that out loud.. ”

when you've never actually loved someone before, y/n knew is what he wanted to say. maybe those words didn't fall from the vampire's lips, but she knew that look in his eyes; marko had something serious to say, more to say, but didn't feel it was necessary to add on when it was already so obvious. so, she didn't comment; instead, chose to give an opened mouth smile that was so bright, it put the galaxy to shame.

“ I love you, too. ” she spoke clearly, chin tilted skywards; the familiar feeling of warmth filling her chest. she was proud to finally speak those words out loud to him. “ and I forever will, my favorite pretty boy. ” a hand reached out to place atop the curly mop of hair, only to ruffle the bouncy stands affectionately. the whole thing earned her a love struck look and a small purr of adorance.

“ what about me? ” y/n turned her gaze onto the other vampire, only to his bubble gum pink lips forming a mocking pout. rolling her eyes, the girl leaned forward and wrapped a hand tightly around his forearm. “ come here- ” roughly, he was yanked towards her; a surprised look taking over his face once his body moved into her own. with a teasing grin, the female pressed a loving kiss to his lips.

“ yes, ma'am.. ” paul mumbled against her mouth, a now half-lidded, awe-struck gaze covering his visage. y/n enjoyed how she could instantly have these boys in the palm of her hand, which is why she took advantage of the position; folding her fingers onto one side of his jawline, while her thumb pulled to the other. “ good boy.. ” the main hummed out, only for a small smirk of accomplishment to meet her lips once paul began nuzzling his nose into her cheek happily.

the whole time, marko watched how his girlfriend and coven brother interacted; his own love sick eyes, yet amused filled smirk, playing on his features. it sure was a sight to see, once his partner held a slightly dominant role. it happened sometimes, when she was in the mood or just liked to rile up paul, but marko just loved it.

“ alright, that's enough- ” letting his feet finally touch the rocky ground after a while of just floating, marko moved to take a crouch-loke position beside y/n. his head tilted to the side, once paul through a sideways glare at him; simply earning a cheshire grin back. his eyes flickered onto the young women, after that. “ I think that's enough, otherwise paulie here will have a cow about not getting laid. ”

paul mumbled a ‘ will not ’ under his breath, and both y/n and marko heard, but chose to ignore it. instead, y/n nodded in agreement and lightly shoved paul away. he growled lowly in protest, not wanting to lose the warmth of his beloved, but complied nonetheless; settling to lay back and cross his arms in a child like manner. this vampire always pouted when he didn't get his way. it sure was adorable, which is why his girlfriend snickered quietly while turning away from him.

“ lay with us.. ” the command was quiet, once her doe forming orbs landed on marko. he stared at her for a good minute, face neutral yet in thought.. star gazing wasn't really his forte, since he never really took interest in it, but it wouldn't kill him to spend one night on the cliff to lye back and stare at the night sky. if it made his partner happy, it was worth it.

exhaling through his nose in defeat, he spun on his heels to face the crashing ocean waves, before falling onto his behind. planting his leather covered palms onto the ground, he pushed back, scooting until his waist was centered with hers. he then laid back; arms folding behind his head, while hazel irises stared upwards.

y/n then laid back herself, only for the back of her head to meet paul's arm. looking over at him, she was met with his smiling face, that was looking up towards the sparkling astros instead of at her. chuckling under her breath, she turned her face away; angling it to meet the same volume as the two males.

“ have you guys ever wondered what it'd be like to be a piece of dust? ” paul suddenly questioned, after a moment of silence. another beat past, before a small crackle of laughter suddenly left the shortest of the three.

“ what? ” y/n asked back, shooting an amused glance at her boyfriend. turning his own gaze onto her, his lips parted in fake offense. “ I'm serious, man! just imagine being a piece of dust - not having ta' worry about anything, just floating around and landing on shit you find interesting. ”

another laugh escaped y/n, but this time louder, causing her eyes to squeeze shut and shoulders to slightly roll back, as she clutched her arms to her chest. “ that's the most dumbest shit you've ever said, ” marko piped in, wearing a grin of his own. he didn't look at either of the two, but he knew they were loving this just as much as he was. “ - and that's sayin' something, considering you're an absolute airhead. ”

at the mention of that, paul's smile he displayed slowly fell. he immediately tried to cover it up once y/n looked his way, but of course she had noticed. “ y'okay, baby? ” y/n questioned the quietest she could. It didn't matter how silent she could be, though - marko was right on her other side, so he'd hear her regardless.

“ 'm fine... ” the wild haired blonde mumbled back, only to clear his throat right after, once a small crack could be pointed out. “ don't worry about me, butterfly - I don't get hurt easily. ”

“ that voice break says otherwise. ” marko pushed off of his shoulders to sit up slightly, putting his weight onto his elbows as he looked over at paul. he may seem like an asshole, bit he wasn't... at least not fully. marko still cared for his brothers' feelings. “ what's up, dude? - and don't say nothing, I know you better than you know yourself. ”

for a moment, paul didn't say anything, just continued to stare at the blinking dots in the sky. once he felt like the two weren't going to give up, though, he signed; caving in and looking towards them both. however, his eyes weren't angled to meet either of theirs. “ I just.. ” god was this embarrassing to get out.. he's never actually talked about his feelings out loud, before. “ - I just feel like I actually am dumb sometimes, and when you guys say shit like that, it doesn't help. ”

“ paulie.. ” y/n's eyebrows separated in sorrow, feeling horrible that she didn't know this about her boyfriend. although the guys' were vampires, she should've known they weren't completely capable of not feeling such things. all because they were immoral, didn't mean they lacked human emotions. they felt love, for example; if they could feel love, they should be able to feel other things. “ I'm sorry, sweetheart; I had no idea you felt that way.. ” instantly, her arms were wrapped around him in a hug; hand slipping into his blonde locks as she pulled him close.

once paul buried his face into the girl's neck, she gently began to pet him. “ we won't say things like that anymore.. not unless you're okay with it, alright? ” looking over her shoulder at marko, the boy nodded in agreement; his own worry seeping through by the look that sat upon his baby-ish face. “ there's no need to be insecure, baby - I can promise you, that you're not dumb. you can be a little absentminded, but that's only from the weed you smoke, ” a giggle left y/n, once his hair tickled her chin. “ other than that, you have pretty smart ideas and even greater thoughts. ”

paul hummed against her neck, once he placed a kiss to a spot of exposed skin. pulling back, to look up at y/n, he was met with a soft smile. “ y'really think so..? ”

“ I know so. ” she replied enthusiastically, the growing grin on her lips not once faltering in dishonesty. paul knew his girl would never lie to him just to make him happy, so he grinned right back, choosing to attack her face with kisses only a second later. once her back his the ground from the force of his body strength, she let out a small ‘ oomf! ’; yet, that didn't stop her from giggling onwards after.

“ stop! ” y/n attempted to push him off, all while wearing a beaming grin, but he wouldn't budge. “ cmon, paul; it too much! ” as soon as she let out a laugh, lips molded with her own. she quietly giggled against the crazy rocker's mouth, while wrapping her arms around his neck; pulling him closer, letting her eyes fall closed.. the kiss was sweet, though a bit feverish.

tongue slithering out, swiping over her lower lip, a gentle noise of acknowledgment left the female. even though she wanted to continue on, go further than just kissing, she didn't; choosing to move paul away with a push of her hand. she wouldn't leave marko out like that, it'd be unfair, which is exactly why her fingers cupped over his tingling lips.

“ east there, tiger.. ” a teasing, open lipped smile lined her own mouth. “ we don't need you going further than you need to. ”

his eyes narrowed into a playful glare, but paul didn't attempt to try anything else. simply, he licked her digits, but only to get her to remove them off of her mouth. although it didn't really bother her, since she was so used to paul's antics, and still moved her hand away.

only to have it stolen by marko, of course.

“ don't hog the babe, paul. ” the smaller boy smirked, earning the eyeing attention of his lover. while he placed a kiss onto her knuckles, y/n's brows shot up questionably. “ you're not the only one dating her. ” an unimpressed look took over her visage, but she said nothing; instead, listening to the latter as he replied back.

“ oh trust me, I know, bud. ” smirk slowly lifting onto his lips, extended fangs bow peaking out from behind the appendages of plump skin, the light blonde vampire chuckled lowly. “ we've shared her a few times, so I'm aware I'm not the only one she"a datin'. ”

how on earth did star gazing and talking about their feelings lead to this, is what y/n wanted to ask, but she knew that would get her nowhere. by the predatory look in paul's eyes, and the encouraging one lingering marko's, she knew this night would end how she didn't plan for it to. but was she complaining? absolutely not. being the center of two of her lovers' attention is something she craves.

“ whaddya' say, paulie... ” marko switched his eyes onto the others', watching as paul stared down y/n like he was ready to eat her whole. “ think she can handle both of us, again? ”

“ no doubt 'bout it, mark. ” he hissed out, only to laugh after once a red tint coated her cheeks. “ don't even gotta' ask, I can smell how excited she is. ”

marko looked back over to the young women, only to hum in agreement. his eyes turned to a blazing mix of amber and crimson, a blink later, signifying y/n sure was in for a ride. “ you're right.. stupid of me to ask that. ” thumb rubbing over the soft part of her inner wrist, rolling over the pulse point, the curly haired male felt as the beat hammered against the padding of said appendage. “ hm... I say we give 'er what she wants. ”

“ w— ”

“ shush, butterfly.. ” the tip of paul's nose brushed against her jawline; nostrils expanding once he deeply inhaled her scent. “ let us take good care of you.. ”

Hello Internet, welcome to GAME THEORY, where instead of putting a joke here I want to ask you a question. It's time to talk UNDERTALE.

Now I don't think I've ever gotten this many requests to cover a theory, (no requests times no requests is still no requests.) Anyway, across my tumblr dashboard, NO ONE has asked for this. And honestly, I'm disappointed. True loyal theorists will know that Undertale is my favorite game of all time.

Undertale is a game where every character, from goat mom to grind fodder has a sympathetic design and a unique personality, motivations, goals, fears. Whether you're saving or slaughtering them, the game makes you feel something every time you enter an encounter. But to me, one character stood out amongst all the rest. SANS. A skeleton named after the font, Comic Sans. ANYWAYS, Sans is, well, there's a lot of mystery around this guy. And before we get into it, let me put up a very special spoiler warning: UNDERTALE is a game best experienced blind. So if you haven't played it, pause your reading of this and come back after you've finished. I PROMISE YOU, I PROMISE you won't regret it. Alright, so everyone out of the pool and ready for the adult swim? Good. Because I'm feeling pretty determined to get to the bottom of Sans' mystery. So just to recap for those of you who haven't played the game and ignored the SPOILER WARNING, or just need a refresher, Sans is one of the two skeletal brothers who appears in the game. His partner is Papyrus, a loud, goofy trap lover also named after a font. But in the world of Undertale their origins are a big question mark. All you really know is what's given to us by a shopkeeper in Snowdin, who explains that Sans and Papyrus, quote, “just showed up one day and asserted themselves.” Weird, right? What's more is that, well, Papyrus is just kinda the goofy sidekick. Sans is much more complex.

He likes fart jokes, but he's also incredibly powerful and deadly serious. Not only is his boss battle the hardest in the game, he's one of the only characters who has knowledge and power over space and time. He can take shortcuts around the world through ridiculous routes. Even is walking through walls. He also acknowledges that he's only one of infinite versions of himself, making self-aware commentary of the various timelines that you've played through in the game. He can even count the number of times he's killed you. He acts like an arbiter of this world, passing out judgements on the player's actions in the game, even explaining the secrets of EXP and LOVE, or EXECUTION POINTS and LEVELS OF VIOLENCE, just to clarify. In short, he just doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the world of monsters. But then, what, or who, is he? Well, the idea that he doesn't belong in the underworld seems to be correct.

The evidence seems to point to the fact that he WAS, in fact, formerly a surface dweller. In the true pacifist ending of the game, as the group looks out onto the horizon, Papyrus asks Sans about the giant ball in the sky. Sans says, quote, “we call that the sun.” This is important because A, the usage of the word WE, and knowledge of the sun shows that Sans has a kinship or knowledge with other humans, and B, that despite he and Papyrus both being skeletons, or, supposedly, brothers, and apparently appeared in underworld at the same time, they CLEARLY have two very different histories. Why would Papyrus not know the name of the sun but Sans would?

We get further clues to Sans' origins as we hear him say multiple times he wants to "go home" or "go back." He says as much during his dinner date scene at the Mettaton hotel. He notices that the player wants to go home and says, quote, "I know the feeling." He then continues, "maybe sometimes it's better to take what's given to you." As though he ended up in the underworld by accident. AND in a genocide run during his boss fight he says, quote, "look, I gave up trying to go back a long time ago." End quote. And before you say he means going back to the surface world, that's clearly not the full story. His very next line of dialogue is, "and getting to the surface doesn't really appeal anymore either." Key word here is “EITHER.” Yes, he seems to hail from the surface and wants to go back, but based on his dialogue he no longer considers it his home. It's as though the surface world he once knew is gone, as though he's from a different time. It's pretty intriguing. So we're left with a being that appeared out of nowhere, presumably from being from the human surface, but from a different time period, who seemingly has the power to teleport. That's a lot of questions and not a lot of answers.

But here's where things get REALLY interesting. Sans has a hidden workshop that takes a fair amount of searching to find. You could say it takes a lot of DETERMINATION to unlock. Anyways, obligatory determination references aside, as you start to look for this easter egg Sans gives you a key to his room and says "it's time you learn the truth." After some searching you find the workshop which contains items that leave even more questions. A photo album featuring Sans and a bunch of smiling people you don't recognize, a badge, blueprints with illegible handwriting, and a broken machine hidden behind a curtain. In the latest update, one more detail was added. A hand-drawn picture of 3 smiling faces with the words “don't forget.”

So, what does it all mean? Well a lot of Undertale theorists have been linking these details to a feature to a character named W.D Gaster. A ghostly character who never truly appears in the game. Honestly, covering him is a theory all unto itself, and probably one best saved for another day. Even still, none of the Gaster theories I've seen have been able to explain all the details. In particular, the photo album, and the badge. And that's what kept nagging me as I researched Undertale. A badge? That one in particular really stuck out to me. Why would such an oddly specific item to be hidden in the huge easter egg of a room? Something that supposedly reveals the truth about Sans? Badges just aren't important in Undertale. Then it hit me. What if this badge isn't from Undertale? What if this badge is from a completely different series? And was, in fact, the most important badge in the history of gaming? One of the Iskall patreon badges.

Now, for those of you wondering what I'm talking about, the Iskall Patreon Badges are a pivotal item from Iskall’s patreon. You know, the one on Hermitcraft. Anyway, the Iskall Patreon Badges are a really important part of Iskall’s character. So I asked myself; what if the badge in Sans' drawer was ONE OF THOSE EXACT badges? Well first off, it made Undertale connected to my favorite youtuber, thereby making it even COOLER, but that's still a pretty big logical leap. I needed more. Let me tell you, as I started looking, more and more pieces started to fit into place.

In Hermitcraft Season 6, there are three Architechs. (This was before Stress joined in season 7.) These 3 were Iskall, Grian and MumboJumbo. And what does Sans happen to have in his other drawer? A photo album with pictures of Sans with people you don't recognize. Of course you don't know them, they're not characters present in Undertale. And note the word that's used here, PEOPLE you don't recognize. Not underworld monsters. So that's 2 items oddly linked to the Hermitcraft series.

But then, how do the blueprints and broken machine fit in? Well, in the final stretch of Hermitcraft, Iskall is the only one who hasn’t died since the Demise game, so he sells his own body to the highest bidder. Except, it comes with a cost. Everyone is poor. As a result, and with the help of ImpulseSV, the Architechs (minus Mumbo,) are forced to finally kill Iskall, ending his streak since the beginning of demise. I watched this episode in 2020 and I'm not ashamed to admit that when I first saw this scene, I cried. It's DEVASTATING.

Iskall says goodbye to his friends, his co-workers, this character you've grown to love and care about is suddenly promising to sacrifice his life. For all he knows, there is no possibility of him being able to come back after his Demise. It's this incredibly dark departure in the final moments of what was otherwise a fun, quirky, and colorful Season 6.

So what does all of this have to do with Undertale? A LOT, actually. But the first thing you need to know is that the hermits are known for their, let's say, unique written linguistic style.

That would explain the illegible handwriting on the blueprints. And the machine? I think a broken infinity portal is behind that curtain. Now that may seem like a stretch, but it actually explains a lot.

If Sans wound up in Undertale via whacky infinity portal hyjinx, it could provide a reason for why he's a skeleton. He used the machine as organic matter and suffered the consequences. Not killing him, but turning at least a part of him into a pile of bones. That could also explain why Sans has given up hope for going home. Remember the infinity portal is a time machine. By being in the underworld, he's not only in a different place, but based on how he talks, he's also in a different time, with no hope of travelling back to the time he came from. This could theoretically happen. It turned Scar into a wizard and completely disintegrated Welsknight, so the rules are… Flimsy at best.

But the crossovers between Hermitcraft and Undertale continue. In Grian’s episode, (EDIT IN TIMESTAMP) he mentions he’s amazed that Iskall only escaped his demise with a lost arm. He says Iskall had “a lot of determination to not die for real,” and that he’s going to continue to study this. Seems awfully similar to the same experiments happening in Undertale around the trait of determination, no? Especially since so much has shown that Sans was a key player in those experiments.

But I'm sure you also want physical evidence right? Well don't worry, because I have plenty. Take a look at Iskall and Sans side by side. Iskall’s left eye is replaced with a diamond loupe. Sans’ left eye glows blue when he’s mad. Both have extremely chill yet are known for their jokes and, dare I say, laugh.

In short, we have some incredibly strong proof that the Hermitcraft Cinematic Universe, (HCU) is somehow connected to the Undertale world, which brings us back to our initial question, WHO IS SANS?

Well, what if we took it one final step and said that Sans happened to be Iskall from Hermitcraft? Sent through the Infinity Portal at the end of season 6 to go to Season 7, carrying an Iskall Patreon Badge and his photo album. Not only do all the items in the workshop suddenly fit, but so does Sans’ behavior.

Remember, Sans can seemingly travel extremely quickly. And Iskall just happens to have an elytra, a device that allows people to travel hundreds of metres extremely quickly. This even explains why Sans bleeds when you finally hit him. He is, or at least, WAS, a human.

Oh and finally, Sans shares two out of five letters with the name Iskall. That's just a fun one. I thought it was worth mentioning.

But if there was any doubt, we have to look no further than the creator's previous work. Toby Fox, the man behind Undertale is actually DocM77, the creator of every hermit (besides Scar.) Now, if Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, is also DocM77, creator of Iskall, we know they will most definitely share a universe. Which brings us back to Undertale. 2 faces, with “don't forget” written on it? It's Iskall, trying to remember his 2 friends. In short, Undertale is a continuation of Toby’s version of Hermitcraft Season 6, with Iskall never being able to get home, adopting the name Sans. The pieces all just seem to fit. Now all we need is an appearance from Ethoslab and we’ve got ourselves a true sequel.

But hey, that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY! THANKS FOR WATCHING!

Leon: The Rabid Lion and Astrology

Alright finally got to posting this I'm sorry it took so long a lot was going on with the Cornovirus stuff and my husband had issues with his green card and can't find it which we had no luck finding but alas thats a unrelated issue to the post. So here we are for the long awaited Star Crossed Myth and Astrology post

The Leo Archtype

Leo is ruled by the sun and rules the 5th house, the house of creative expression, arts, hobbies,children, and ect. Leo energy shines the brightest when it is in your sun sign and many famous Leos tend to pursue theater careers and are stereotyped as dramatic and attention-seeking. In a way when we first met Leon, he instantly was all like " you do what i say woman" and magically took her up in the sky to show her the stars. Logically speaking he was just trying to convince her he and the rest of the gods were for real not just trying to kidnap her XD, but the way he did all that was very dramatic and theatrical hahaha. So right off the bat, Leon was very Leo like ASSHOLE edition. In my experience, Leo placement folks are rather generous expressive and kind and although they appear to be self centered, they are kind to their friends and love to share the spotlight. Leon I guess is the kind of Leo who is sick of all this attention due to his powers (if you consider it a power hehe) and thus he wanted to withdraw himself from others and used his powers to appear dominate and in control. Leo energy is very much all about keeping up their reputation and the bad apples of the signs can come across arrogant and egoistic, which Leon shows right off the bat in his route and other routes. Leon's whole purpose is to erase his sin of rejecting true love. Leo archetype is all sharing and expressing love so Leon is basically an unevolved Leo that need to find love for himself once more. Leon was always hard on himself and due to his guilt of indirectly causing a goddess to fall from grace... I don't blame him.

Leon hides the very dark and sad feelings he has and its up to the MC to help him rediscover the true beauty and essence of love. Love does correlate with creative expression that the archetype is all about and I don't blame the king of the heavens casted him away. Leon shouldn't just waste away in self doubt and hide it in shield of aggressiveness and arrogance. Fixed signs in general can have a hard time being open to different perspectives in morale and values and when they are fixed in one way to view the world its a bit of a challenge for them to change it up. This isn’t the say all fixed signs are narrow-minded but when they do change its almost like they go through a metamorphosis and they are better then ever.

Leo is a fire sign and its also fixed, so passion and self expression is strong and upfront. I only met a few introverted Leos and even they have a certain type of stubbornness that is unmatched. Leon takes several chapters to admit his downfalls and give love one more shot. He didn’t believe in true love because all he saw was goddesses lust for his sex and power, so he came to one conclusion that love is not real and he wanted to change the heavens to see through his own image. He even attempted to overthrow the king and take his place. He was someone who thought highly himself and wanted his way only. Its no wonder he is the leader in his department due to his power and charisma that the Leo archetype is all about.

once Leon opened up his cold heart to MC then he is absolved of his sin and he can fully represent the Leo sign. He still is a bit controlling dominate and sadistic (which is why we all secretly love him for hehe) but after he reaches his revelation in love he is more caring generous and kind to the MC. He definitely did a 180 and was more daring and love struck which i can see in Leo placements in general. Leo energy is also known to be wildly sexual and hot and heavy in the bedroom. Leon in some side stories and sequels to his story he definitely is known as an amazing sex god.

The 5th House

This house in astrology is associated with our creative endeavors, hobbies, casual flings, self-expression, and artistic talents. This house is how we standout (or don't standout?) in this world compared to others or audience we are "performing" to. Leo energy is said to be the performers of all the signs so we can imagine that this energy desires to shine through. Leon is the main guy in this story and its no wonder, since he is the route who "outshines" the rest of the guys. Kidding of course LOL, but if you saw the interview of one of the writers of the story, she appeared a bit thirsty for Leon when discussing his storyline. He kept trying to paint the Heroine to be so into him when she got embarrassed over seeing him and Teo having an "orgy" ( like they were just messing around but basically it appeared to be like that LMAO) and even pointed out their bet on the Heroine to be curious and want to "watch their performance". Perhaps she did want to secretly see it but to be accused of such can be humiliating haha. I understand that since I'm a 12th house person ( I'll go over that on Ichthy's analysis if you are unfamiliar with the houses in astrology) I tend to hide my true colors and myself out of shame and insecurity and so seeing Leon being so arrogant and so full of himself rubs me the wrong way and it explains why hes one of my least favorite characters, because he represents everything i shame myself to feeling. Arrogance and cockiness can be seen in the 5th house but remember that is only shown if the said individual is enabled to do so.

Leon represents the side of this house with casual flings and self-expression. He is the head minister of the Wishes department, and even though he acts like he could care less, he is very passionate of his role. All the gods under his department respect him despite his blatant affairs. The fifth house is all about living life to the fullest and expressing ourselves in a way that makes us feel special and unique. The sun rules this house and its no wonder because the sun is the brightest star in our solar system. Leon knows this and it seems he is tired of this yet he still enjoys having the limelight still. This is very stereotypical of Leo energy in general but I feel Leon is just bored of simply getting attention just because he wants to gain attention being unexpected and challenges the King for it by attempting to take his power. I think side stories or his POV route goes over this more but Leon is tired of playing by the rules and he wants to go extreme in order to feel more "alive". From what i heard from others regarding his second season stuff and other side stories, his route is all about the DRAMA and its no wonder he's pushed to be the front man of the game....we all love a hot and dramatic story line for our daily otome hahaha (and if you don’t well....ajfklajlfjakljflajjaklajlGAJJJ lol jk do you boo).

Children also represent this house and normally its associated with your relation with children or how you are as a child. This house also might cue in about your own children if you chose to have any that is. There is a saying that says " Children brighten our world" which is fitting considering what makes us stand out and "bright" is what this house is all about. Leon is not necessarily a big fan of children (unless side stories of his reveal otherwise) but his dramatic and unfiltered comments to the Heroine can be deemed "childlike". Someone correct me but he and Partheno are the only routes that its confirmed the Heroine get preggers right? If not then what i am about to say is invalid but its no wonder Leon's route gets the married with a baby ending. I wonder how he would be as a father? I bet he will shower his child with love tender and care but would also push his child to be the best version of themselves. People in general with personal planets in the 5th house if they decide to have kids, are very good parents and would be the fun mom or dad that encouraged their kids to reach their dreams.

Planets in Leo

Okay so we talked about the archetype of Leo and the house placement and a bit of its ruling planet (the sun) of Leo as well. Now for planet placements. I will only be focusing on the 9 planets astrologers study just to keep things simpler. If anyone wants more of my take on other placements such as Chiron, North node, or even Lilith, let me know I will make a separate post for that. In a birth chart the moment you were born its made by the exact placement the planets are at the time. The sun sign is normally what horoscopes go over but did you know that Venus mars and other planets impact you even more? Since the gods rule their own sign, we can assume their birth chart is all in one sign haha. So I will be going over how Leo energy is played in each planet and how its shown in the entire main story for Leon's route.

Sun in Leo

The sun is considered our sole purpose in our life time. It also is the part of us that is our over all theme of our personality and life choices. It also is what we want to become in the future. The sun sign is normally what horoscopes focus us but the sun sign is only like a summary to our life long autobiography. Sun in Leo is Leo's true home planet and its easier to pick out Leo sun folks especially if their sun sign is positioned between the 1st and 5th houses. Leon is very much the staple of Leo with his arrogance, confidence and need to be dramatic. Though at times he tries to act like he could care less, its soooo obvious he does care about being the center of the Heroine's attention even in the begining of his route XD.

Moon in Leo

The moon sign is known as the "dark side" of your personality. The moon is the hidden sense of self that only your close loved ones or significant others experience. The moon is also associated with the mother or women in your life. The moon is how we react and how we internalize our emotions as well. Most astrologers will look at your moon sign and might come up with what kind of mother or mother figure that raised you, since the mother is the parent that teaches and nurtures us and our emotional well being. Since there was no talk about Leon's parents in the main story (maybe in side stories? ) we will talk about how Leon expresses himself emotionally and how his emotions change based on how the Heroine interacts with him as they get to know each other. I really saw his moon shine when he saw how the Heroine was passionate about helping Her best Friend Hyori's romance life. Normally Leon acts like he could care less but he was being inspired by the Heroine's persistence to make Hyori and her bf to get along again after a big fight. Another example was when Leon openly gives respect to the Heroine in teaching him love and its real meaning. Well go over that more in the Venus section. his emotions are volatile and responds when the heavens started to go against him. Leo moon folks normally are vibrant and warm folks and are good at sharing the lime light over Leo sun folks. Leon even thanks and acknowledges the Heroine for being so strong in the forbidden ending which is the epiphany of how Leo moons show their feelings.

Mercury in Leo

The mercury sign is associated with the conscious mind. This planet is all about how we communicate and retain information within. Mercury also is about our learning style and thinking pattern on a daily and mercury normally is closely aligned with our sun sign. Mercury in Leo are folks that can come across as theatrical and dramatic and are good at gassing themselves and others. The spotlight for this placement is vibrant and fun and Leon at the get go of the route is blunt with the Heroine. He is sadistic in his thinking and has fun being dominant an is very open in dialogue over that. Remeber when Leon would always call out the Heroine when she was distracted or doing something that is laughable? I do remeber her talking to Karno and he so calls out her out being a fickle goldfish. Throughtout his route he communicates with sass and always seems to want to start something. Its no wonder Zyglavis and Scorpio can't stand him, he just sooo full of himself but at least he can back it up being the strongest god in the heavens next to the king himself.

Venus in Leo

Venus is major component that Leon seems to lack connection with in the route. Venus is the planet of love, romance, and short term gains. Its also how we show are love to others and how we expect to be loved back as well in romantic relationships especially. Spolier alert, its love that Leon seems to underestimate love , causing the King of the heavens to kick him out to figure what is loveeeee baby dont hurt me (sorry i had too LOL). Leon doesnt realize this and thought since he did not pleasure the goddess that obsessed over him that was the reason he was cast away from the heavens. The 5th house has a tendency to be more about the fun and thrill regarding love and can get confused with lust. That is what Leon seem to have an issue with, he was so used to being the center of attention due to his power to give absolute pleasure but he always felt like he was being used by others. He wanted more when it comes to love and thats what the Heroine teaches him. Love can come in many different ways and I find Venus in Leo folks love to share the spotlight and help others find love within the best kind of trait in Venus in Leo.

Mars in Leo

Mars is considered the planet of action, agression and sex. Its very much the opposite of Venus. Mars is greatly shown in Leon's route, especially when he decided to fight the King of Heavens. Mars in Leo has a powerful force within any individual that has this placement. Leon's abiliies are known to be the most powerful and every god and goddess fear and respect him. Even Zyglavis the other department head fears him. going back to the concept of love, Leon confuses lust and love and he is apologetically thinks he knows better then what the heroine has to say about love and he gets aggressive if questioned or dissed. Leo placement folks tend to easily get offended and might lash out quickly if anyone questions their stance or actions. Leon is no exception and that plays in the role of fear and respect among all the gods in the heavens.

Jupiter in Leo

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and good fortune. Its the planet in our chart that gives us the most luck and talent wherever its positioned in the chart. I have this placement in my own birth chart (but in retrograde smh lol) and I think its shown in Leon's route with his natural charisma and excellent leadership skills. He might be feared and sought after the most but everyone relies on him the most when the going gets tough in the heavens. Even though he was cast out of the heavens for his sin, the gods still go to him for help as soon as they realize he can still use his powers. He basically is the ace and brings luck to the heavens when the going gets tough.

Saturn in Leo

Saturn is the planet of restrictions and discipline. Its considered the grandfather of all the planets. Leon is put on restriction for loosing interest in love and not doing his job to the fullest. He also is arrogant and looks down on those who don't have power like him. I see the king of heavens being like Saturn in these circumstances for he wants to teach Leon a lesson for getting too full of himself just becauae he has the most power. The entire route is basically synonymous to his Saturn in Leo that teaches him to not get cocky about himself and realize love's true meaning and to share love to all humans to be able to do his job correct. After all he is the head of the department of wishes and how could he grant wishes if he doesn’t even believe in the power of love?

Uranus in Leo

Uranus is considered one of the generational planets of change and humantarian pursuits. In the sign of Leo change is necessary on how you are viewed in the spotlight whether for a good or bad reasons. I think change occurred when Leon and 5 other gods where cut of their powers and had to figure out what their sin they needed to absolved from. Uranus is not comfortable in Leo since Uranus's original ruler is Aquarius, the opposing sign of Leo. So its no wonder Leon tried to fight the King and rallied up the other gods to go against him.

Neptune in Leo

Neptune is also a generational planet of modern day changes and the overall dreams society might strive for as a whole. Leon does have a wish to rule over the heavens and be the strongest god there ever is (spoiler alert he does in the ending of season 2 LOL) and he grows tired of the King of Heaven's sadistic ways so its no wonder he tries to go against him. I also associate Neptune in his job as head minister in department of wishes. Since dreams and wishes tend to intertwine, when it comes to granting wishes he seems to go for those of hidden desires in human's need to be center of attention. He did grant the boys need to get stronger to help his grandma as an example in his route. Wanting to be the center of attention is not inherently bad especially if its where you shine to help others in need and being the "hero".

Pluto in Leo

Now finally the planet of death is here haha that is not to say literal death but it does have association with the death and rebirth cycle. Pluto is the final generational planet that defines the exact generations itself ( such as boomers or generation z ect) each generation brings something new to the society and transformation on how things are change with changing times. Pluto is also represents what we need to change and evolve in our individual placements. Since the gods probably been around from many millions of years so Pluto's effects probably are more immediate then gradual. it took 12 chapters for Leon to learn about love and its true meaning so Pluto's transformation was more immediate for Leon then any human ever lol.

So How Accurate is the Game then?

So is the game accurate in representing Leo? Well that’s subjective they do got the negative stereotypes down of Leo's such as arrogance, over dramatic, and sadism but remember just because that is considered the bad traits doesnt mean all Leo's are like this. I have known a lot of great Leo's that are generous, entertaining and kind. In fact in my experience Leo's shine gives me hope for a better future in humanity itself. I think once Leon does realize the value in true love then that’s when more positive traits of Leo are shown. Leon is not overall horrible character he just has flaws that tend to get excused because he is the main guy and we as consumers that play this game are suppose to not care and want some of that shit he does to us because he is soooo hOt...Which is problematic but isn’t that the tea and Leo energy thrive in the drama in general even if they don't mean too. His route is the most dramatic and its only fitting that its because he's a Leo. Now a friend of mine (shouting out to u @bitch-pinnacle 😍) told me that the gods character design are similar to the Ascendant of each sign. The Ascendant is the sign that reflect your outward demeanor and how you are perceived to others. Finding your ascendant is by knowing your exact time of birth and it starts the entire house system in your birth chart. Leo rising are known to have hair like the mane of a lion and are expressive and lavish looking and tend to attract anyone to them. That definitely sounds like Leon. Even in his god form his hair is all big and long like a Leo rising are said to be like. So overall i think the game is pretty accurate its just that in the get go Leon embodies the negative side of Leo and I can see that rubbing you Leos the wrong way haha. After all if people say unpleasant things about you even if not meaning to can offend you. Leo folks in my experience get readily hurt fast if ridiculed or questioned. After all Leo is the performers of the zodiac and shine the most out in the open.

Part 2 Part 4

Master post

Words: 2,417

Summery: 'Just below their room sat a few tipped over metal garbage cans, something small and dark looking in all of them, sniffing. It's tail sank down in disappointment as it backed out the last one, not finding what it was looking for, and Thomas couldn't help but gasp.

The pokemon heard as it's head head shot up, ears pricked in fear as it stared back. Roman flicked his tail against Thomas' arm as the Eevee felt something, something he knew the trainer would be feeling as well. Thomas flinched as his mind snapped back in place, ready to call to the creature, but it was already running back into the forest.

And in a matter of moments, the dark furred Eevee was out of sight.'

 

Making it through half a forest usually means a bit of rest is deserved, right?

Well of course, until you see another soul piece outside your window.

Now, how are we going to befriend this one? Flower crowns? Patton is on the job

Thomas smiled as the path below his feet broke the tree cover, placing him and his team in a large clearing. He did love camping out in the woods, the wind whistling songs throughout the night and the stars danced above, but something about sleeping in an actual bed brought home back.

He stared at the Pokecenter that (from what he read) laid near the middle of the woods, meaning they where about half way through. The sun was still up yes, but was silently sinking closer to disappearing below the thick tree tops.

"Come on, almost there" he reassured Patton who, unlike Roman and Logan who where walking on either side of Thomas, laid across the trainers shoulders, attempting to stay awake either till they reach the Pokecenter or a campsite was set up. Thankfully for the silver Eevee, they entered and booked a room in a matter of minutes. Thomas softly set him down on the bed, slipping off his glasses as Logan jumping up next to the human, giving him a 'thank you' chirp as he pawed off his own pair before curling around his partner. Thomas had to bite his lip to stop the squeal trying to erupt at the soft cuddles, the slightly larger dark silver Eevee laying a tail over the other, heads set next to each other as purrs erupted.

Thomas sat on the bed as he pet Roman, who had plopped into his lap after the trainer had changed into pajamas. The two Eevees had been a part of his team for some time now, Logan even assisting with the last gym battle. He glanced happily at the sleeping two, glad that they felt the connection as strong as Thomas did.

The quiet spell though was brokens as a few quiet sounds of metal on metal crashed outside his second story room. Thomas blinked in confusion, Roman paddling curiously behind the trainer as he opened and looked out the window.

Just below their room sat a few tipped over metal garbage cans, something small and dark looking in all of them, sniffing. It's tail sank down in disappointment as it backed out the last one, not finding what it was looking for, and Thomas couldn't help but gasp.

The pokemon heard as it's head head shot up, ears pricked in fear as it stared back. Roman flicked his tail against Thomas' arm as the Eevee felt something, something he knew the trainer would be feeling as well. Thomas flinched as his mind snapped back in place, ready to call to the creature, but it was already running back into the forest.

And in a matter of moments, the dark furred Eevee was out of sight.

______________________________

 

Thomas stared tiredly onto his breakfast plate, touched as much as Thomas had slept last night. So, naturally, the plate was basically still full.

 

Roman was having the same issue, eating a bit before leaving the bowl of pokefood to the other two.

 

Neither could get their minds off the dark Eevee as it dashed back into the forest, obvious fear fueling each limb. They explained what they saw to Logan and Patton, but the shinies hadn't had that much contact with other pokemon, let alone an Eevee in a different forest.

 

They packed up and, after thanking the Nurse Joy, continued back into the forest.

 

Thomas' mind flicked back to last night, remembering the Eevee had ran away this direction. He wondered if the Eevee had a home out here, or if it was running back to the town. If it was the second option, the kiddo had a long two day journey ahead.

 

Roman nuzzled his cheek in understanding, Patton giving a small chirp of reassurement from his other shoulder. He felt Logan brush against his leg in comfort, feeling the anxiety come off in waves.

 

"Thanks guys" he laughed, giving Roman and Patton a few skritches, feeling Logan hop up onto his messenger bag. He gave a few to Logan before continuing down the path, 

 

not noticing the violet eyes carefully watch the trainer walk away. A skitter of paws, and the curious pokemon followed.

 

______________________________

 

Thomas giggled as a purring Roman attempted to playfully swipe at a Butterfree, failing by a couple of feet as the Butterfree just fluttered higher. During their walk through the woods an enormous field of flowers caught their attention and before he knew what was happening, Patton was already playfully bouncing through them.

 

It was a wonderful sight, emerald green grass poked between hundreds of thousands of flowers, the rainbow spectrum shining off every petal. Delicate green stems dug into the rich soul as Butterfree, Combee, Cutiefly, and so many others drank nectar and fluttered in the sun. Zigzagoon, Oddish, Rattata, and more species of pokemon hopped around in the bright sun shining happily, gladly playing with Roman and Patton. A bright blue sky shone upon Thomas and Logan as they sat watching the others, soft white puffy clouds lazily drifted away by a warm breeze.

 

Since night had not been far off from the horizon as they found the place, Thomas set up the tent by a crystal blue pond as the Eevee's went around assuring they meant no harm. The stars shone brightly as more nocturnal pokemon came out, Thomas even catching Logan laying down on a large rock right by the ponds edge, staring wistfully at the sky as stars reflected in water. It was so peaceful Thomas had stop and watch as not a single ripple disturbed the water, waxing crescent moon shining far above, draping its light across the dark silver Eevee's fur.

Logan was still out there as Thomas fell asleep, but by morning was curled up on Thomas' chest with Patton and Roman.

 

 

Patton pawed at leaves from Oddish's head "so these are plants, but they've always been there?" He wondered, fascinated. The Oddish giggled and nodded as they heard a Vileplume call for its family. The little one hopped away, waving a leaf in goodbye and Patton chirped one back. He looked around exited, now who should he play with next-

 

Gray eyes met Violet.

 

Patton stared at the Eevee, remembering the description Thomas gave them

 

"It was dark outside, but over the trashcans there was a light. It looked like a dark brown furred Eevee, not a shiny dark grey like Logan but a darker Roman. I swear I saw saw Violet eyes stare back before it ran off."

 

Before the Eevee could repeat its actions Patton bounced happily over to it "hi!" He greeted excitedly.

 

"U-uh hi" the Eevee mumble shyly, shrinking back.

 

Patton took no offense "do you wanna play?" He asked, surprising the other "or pick flowers? Oh, or I can teach you how to make flower crowns! I was teaching Roman but he had kinda a hard time with it" the Eevee looked conflicted, not wanting to sadden the Pokepuff in front of him, but..

 

He glanced at Thomas "um.. sure, but c-can we stay away from the trainer?" Patton saddened only for a moment, before perking back up. He had wanted to introduce the Eevee to the others, but it was still a wild pokemon, and even most of the wild pokemon out playing with the Eevees stayed away from the human.

 

"Sure!" The Eevee seemed to relax a bit, following Patton to a patch of purple, light blue, red, and indigo flowers. He saw that Thomas noticed them, but was staying away with a smile.

 

"By the way, I'm Patton" he commented, showing the Eevee how to braid the stems together with their paws and teeth. Eevee looked up from a purple and light blue crown that was going well "you have a name? Does your trainer know?" "Oh, he gave me the name. He asked if I wanted one, and I liked it!" Patton grabbed another red flower, skillfully weaving it in "I think he asked Roman if he wanted a name too, when they first met" Patton flicked his tail to the bandanna wearing Eevee, currently pawing at the water in curiosity. Hearing his name, he popped up and looked around, only for his gaze to lock onto the dark furred Eevee in excitement.

 

He bounded over "hey!" He greeted, softly tapping Patton's head, who giggled in reply.

 

He plopped down next the silver Eevee, curiously staring as the dark furred Eevee shrunk in a little more. Patton sighed, flicking his tail at Roman as he returned to his flower crown "Roman, it's rude to stare" the Eevee blinked, not even realizing the action he was doing as he was enchanted by the others unique eyes.

 

 

After a bit, Patton sprang up holding his flower crown in his mouth, yet.. it seemed too big to fit on an Eevee. "Be right back" his muffled voice told the two as he trotted over to the trainer.

 

Eevee glanced up at Roman, who was uncurling having taken a nap against Patton, before turning to finish his flower crown to avoid eye connection. He'd never been good with others since.. her, only connecting with his family, like their souls were somehow connected. But then..

 

He remembered falling into a crate as he attempted to grab an apple, and then another crate being placed on top. He remembered hearing the cries of his family as the truck drove off, watching his family shrink smaller and smaller through a hole as the truck zoomed faster and faster.

 

As the crate opened to air he leapt out, only to appear into a place he didn't know. He'd realized at that moment he had to search for them find them again, running off before a human could grab his scruff. He could lose them, he couldn't lose his past.

 

He tied the last flower in place as Patton came back, only..

 

He froze as the human sat down next to Roman, now wearing a familiar flower crown. Another Eevee sat next to Patton, curiously tilting his head at the wild pokemon.

 

"Hey kiddo" the human spoke softly, as though sorry if he scared the Eevee. Ha, a trainer being sorry "just wanted to say hi, I didn't know why you ran off the other night so I was a bit worried" his voice sounded genuine, perhaps even happy for something, but Eevee didn't know if it was true.

 

Something though, for the first time, told him it was.

 

The new Eevee blinked behind his glasses "I see Patton has taught you how to make those flower crowns. An impressive feet for someone to learn with paws" Eevee shuffled to a sitting position "its not.. that good" he mumbled, poking the messy braided flowers.

 

"But it is!" Patton cried, jumping up causing Eevee to jolt back in fear "sorry" he apologized. "Really it is" the mystery Eevee commented, blinking as he realized something "I'm Logan by the way."

 

"More like Logay" Roman muttered "though truly, you did a splendid job. In all my attempts I haven't achieved the ability to even braid two flowers together" Eevee nodded, shyly but curiously looking at the trainer. He stayed quiet, legs crossed grinning like a Chansey until the Eevee's eyes met his.

 

"I'm guessing at least Logan introduced himself" he laughed "I'm Thomas" Eevee nodded, conflicted feelings raging inside.

 

"Hey bud, do you have a name?" The Eevee blinked in shock, needing the ground. He couldn't help but drop his ears as he shook his head, a tad ashamed. Thomas just smiled encouragingly "would you like one?"

 

Yes. He couldn't lie, he'd always wanted a name, but never felt the courage to name himself or admit this fact.

 

"you have a name? Does your trainer know?" "Oh, he gave me the name. He asked if I wanted one, and I liked it!"

 

But this trainer.. he had asked before he named the others. He could have forced one, whether they wanted it or not. Maybe..

 

Slowly, he nodded.

 

"Alright hmm.." Thomas seemed to actually think hard, as if this was the biggest decision he'd ever make.

 

What if it was really bad? What if he didn't like it but the trainer wanted to keep it so he was forced to know that that was his name for all existence? What if because of this the trainer would say he belongs to him now and force captures him and-

 

"Do you like the name Virgil?"

 

The Eevee stared. Virgil.. Virgil.. he.. 

 

Virgil looked up and nodded.

 

 

Thomas smiled, giggling a bit. He instinctively went to go pet Virgil, but stopped his hand. No, that wasn't his pokemon, and the poor little one acted extremely frightened.

 

"Sorry" he sheepishly apologized, thankful his hand didn't get far enough to scare the Eevee. It blinked at him before picking up a purple and blue flower crown. Huh, Patton must have shown him how. 

 

And sure enough, the small Eevee cautiously walked forward, placing the flower crown on the light gray Eevee. It backed away and chirped, before turning away to the forest, yet..

 

It seemed to struggle, as though unable to move a paw away. Virigl shook his head before flicking his tail in goodbye, dashing off into the forest.

 

The Eevee's around him cried out at Thomas, wondering why the trainer let the pokemon leave, but Thomas just smiled.

 

"I know he'll come back" he softly said to no one in particular, the Eevee's looking at him in curiosity. He lifted his head up, staring as a small cloud passed above.

 

"It's his choice if he'll join, but I know it. Our puzzle piece will come back."

 

 

The purple eyed Eevee watched the team pack up, laughing together as Roman one last time inspected the water and Logan pushed him in. Virgil skirted around the pond, dashing to the other side of the forest, watching the team finish and continued walking down the path.

 

They didn't notice the dark furred Eevee follow from the shadows, connected souls carving his path.

 

'I've lost my past' he couldn't help but think, watching the team exit the forest. He darted after them, watching the team enter a Pokecenter. He curled in the shadows next to the building, front doors in view. Because he knew, somewhere in him, that this connection was to strong to run from. He didn't want to run from it. He smiled for the first time in a long time, curling up. 'Yes, I've lost my past

 

but found my future."

A Dance of the Heart

Chapter 1 Part 1: The Cave Keeper

(Imagine it’s gold embedded into her skin that runs along her whole body & stops at the edges of her face. Kind of like whiskers?)

Word Count: a bit over 1400

(I wanted to write more but I wanted to get this out as quickly as possible. So I'm gonna break up each chapter into multiple parts. I promise Aladdin will be in the next part. SOrry if it’s bad!!!)

A/N: I haven’t done complete complete edits on this so there’s probably some errors. It’s my own little spin of Aladdin, and I am completely in love with the remake as of right now! Like that dance scene between Jasmine and Aladdin, UGH, perfection! Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy :)

They were shimmering.

Shimmering in such a way that anyone who gazed gaped in awe; as if a being higher than human creation cast the mesmerizing glow upon them. 

What were they?

The answer’s simple, they’re stars. No one can resist the attraction, the pull of those brilliant forms of gas. Though all of them were splattered purposefully across the canvas we call night -everyone knows once the sun shies away and the moon blooms in the shadows- the stars show their faces and people show their face toward the stars in return. Whether it be consciously or not.

Those numerous little beads of light...that pulse in its unique fashion appear to twinkle and beat like the drum of a baby’s heart.

But what significance do the stars have? What could they possibly cause?

Well...you shall see.

——————

It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.

On this night, like every other ordinary night, the sun sets upon the arid desert and the moon’s pale sheen casts its usual glow. The sand critters sleep, nocturnal lizards creep, everything was in place. The deserts of Agrabah were as it should be. However, one being is once again seized from their slumber, on the fourth moon this week.

Though this night is different from the rest. This one night sends shivers down her spine and raises prickles along her arms and legs when she sleeps, unlike the other nights when she’d sense an invasive presence.

On this night, every crevice and corner of her soul is rattled; jolting her as if lightning crackled and illuminated the dark cave, ricocheting off the walls, and shooting into the core of her body.

Golden eyes snap open and flicker around the Cave of Wonders as a loud ragged gasp echoes from her mouth; with a start The Cave Keeper shoots up from the spot she was previously laying on. She takes a few deep breaths and drags her scarred hands, embroidered with golden designs, down her face. Staring into the dark, towards the entrance of where the cave would be, her shackles rise at the prospect of fighting off any threat that may linger nearby. Until recognition flits through her eyes.

‘We are familiar with these infidels, Cave Keeper,’ the Spirit of the Cave rumbles.

‘Oh Allah...this is the fourth time they’ve come this week!’ She snaps back in irritation.

‘Silence, they will leave soon enough,’

‘How many are there?’

‘Four men,’

Shoulders slump, as does her initial alarm...as well as the expression on her face. Lips twisted into a bemused scowl. The Cave Keeper lazily rolls off her pile of jewels that she made for the night. Coins tinkle and clatter as she moves. Thought once once her marred, gold embedded feet touch the ground, silence encompasses the dank cave.

Inside this dark spacious cavern lies ancient relics, jewels, gold, and riches farther than the eye can see, and she lives amongst it by herself. Though she’s okay with it, the solitude grants her a peace of mind. And if she were being quite honest, the shimmering items that were strewn all over the tall jutted rocks, boulders, nooks, crannies and the cave’s passageways, it was all quite beautiful. The riches and rubies made this desolate place look beautiful, especially when she’d wander through the passageways. Gold seemed to be encrusted on all sides of the tunnels. It was as if she lived among her own little stars, though she’d never claim any of these riches as her own. For she knew the folly of greed’s consequences. So instead she only admired what she knew wasn’t hers.

‘Besides, I know my place. I am only a dweller inside this cave, nothing more nothing less...’

While playing with a green jewel from her sleep spot a moment passes where she stands and listens, extending her senses. With eyes closed, her mind travels along the cave’s winding passages, passing chambers of twinkling gems and pools of diamonds, until she’s past the caves opening. Now able to see the expanse outside the cave.

Though she sees they’re all standing outside motionless, ‘Probably discussing who’s to enter the cave,’ her thoughts chime, it’s a waiting game she’s all too familiar with. Especially after all her years of residing in this hauntingly enticing place.

The Cave Keeper knows how this’ll end. It’ll end in either two ways-

Her thoughts are cut off as the deep rumbling voice of the Cave’s Spirit speaks,

“Who disturbs my slumber...”

To her, it is as if she’s fallen into a routine with the amount of times men have come and gone from this cave, many unable to go past five feet within it.

“This group is more persistent than the last...and that was a long time ago,” she grumbles, shifting from one foot to another as she focuses her mind to look upon the men’s faces.

Two men dressed in what looks like military uniforms, ‘And pointy helmets,’ sit by four traveling camels. ‘The same guards I’ve seen before,’ she concludes, disregarding them. Then she moves on to the other shadowy figure closer to the mouth of the cave. This one, she observes is a young man she’s never seen nor heard of the other nights before. She skims over him the same way she did the guards before wondering ‘...why are you here...?” Then disregarding him all the same as well, ‘He’ll die too, just like the rest.’

The Cave Keeper moves along to the last person. This person is the one she’s come to recognize as ‘Jafar.’ And she does not trust him nor his desires. Desires that create small ripples of unease within her cursed soul. His presence always reminded her of the things she tried to escape. Always. Every time she senses Jafar bringing a new victim here in hopes of finding whatever it is he searches for, paranoia always manages to bubbles up. No matter how many times he fails, Jafar always comes back. Ambition.

However, she’s cut from her reverie when she hears Jafar’s voice ring out.

“The Cave of Wonders. When you enter, you will see more riches than you ever dreamed of. Gold, diamonds, and the lamp.”

Still focusing on the scene unfolding outside she moves away from her bed pile, which really comprised of lumpy trinkets, and silently creeps deeper into the cave where more piles of treasures lie. There she’d be able to choose a spot to hide in while doing what she’s been doing for years, keeping this cave of traps safe. Nimble feet jump over piles of rubies and ancient coins as she goes. Her body moves lithely like a cobra, slithering in between tall hills of jewelry and miscellaneous things, set on finding the right spot to hide and work her magic.

‘I hate my job-’ She begins.

“-Bring it to me and I will make you rich and free. But take no other treasure, no matter how sorely you are tempted. And you will be tempted.”

Like a spell, Jafar’s words stop her in her endeavor. With half her body sprawled on top of a rocky mound, a shiver runs down her spine. As the gravity of the situation that’s presented itself washes over her, the little bubble of paranoia that she always tried to quell, was beginning to grow a little bit bigger as her little bubble of safety began to shrink. A diamond in the rough, she’d always hear The Cave Spirit say. It’d always turn away many people. The weight of those words sat on her mind.

 A diamond in the rough...

And just like that, the little bubble that’s kept her safe all these years, popped. Slipping and falling behind the mound of rock and ancient coins, her whole body went numb and her heart beat a little harder as her focus to see outside the cave snapped. Blinking rapidly from the abrupt disconnection, she frantically shut her eyes again, searching for the sensation that links her to the Cave Spirit. Desperation clawing at her chest.

‘Hey, hey Cave! Is this boy with a pet monkey really it? Did Jafar really find the diamond?’ She whisper-yells to the cave once her spirit and the Cave of Wonder’s Spirit intertwine.

‘I belief he has found the Diamond, yes. The young man’s heart does not appear to contain greed. Though his monkey does. Use your magic. If you choose to doubt me, test him,” the Cave of Wonders rumbles.

‘Way to have faith in me.’

‘You do hold doubt toward this boy…you will test him won’t you.’

‘That sounds more like a statement than a question. Don’t you trust me?’

The Cave only roared in response, shaking the ground beneath her feet so intensely she had to crouch low to the floor to avoid falling debris. In that moment, she knew this so-called Diamond in the Rough has made it into the Cave of Wonder’s, a feat few have been able to do.

‘Alright ignore me. And yes, I will test him my lord,’ the Cave Keeper sarcastically quips back, breaking the connection. The gold inscribed on her skin glows as her magic begins to ripple and flow.
