Imagine: Jack seeing you for the first time but you can’t see him

Disclaimer; This is inspired by @cutiepieloves131

It had been three years since Jack became a guardian. And he had to admit, it was fun. Ironically enough he was the guardian of fun. But the spirit of winter.

He spreaded snow and frost everywhere. From France to the small town of Burgess. At first, it was strange to be a guardian, helping children, and being seen.

Usually, children were the only ones who could see him. Well, children who bealived in him. Which weren't a lot. But as the years went by a lot more came. And he got a decent amount of believers.

It was very strange. He would just be walking by making it snow and children would come up to him. It was surprising but he got used to it.

He would fly over the world when he didn't have to bring winter. But when he was, he's favorite place to finish is at Burgess. That's Jamie's town. Jamie is the first boy who ever bealived in Jack.

Burgess has a very special place in his heart. And so is Jamie. But while he is out flying around the world he encounters many strange people, that can't see him. Last time he "meet" a young female.

Jack was in Burgess bringing snow and fun like usual. That was his last stop for the day. He was done and all the kids were out playing. He was going to leave but then Cupcake came running out of her home.

"Guys! You won't believe it!" She ran to her friends. And Jack was just close enough to hear. He turned around to see the little ball of sunshine. "What is it, Cupcake?" Pippa asked.

"My sister is coming back from collage!" Cupcake jumped up and down. "Wait. Y/n is coming back?" Jamie asked excited like everyone else. Jack confused flew to them. "Who's Y/n?" He asked.

"Cupcake's older sister." Jamie answered. "Yes, she's the best!" Caleb said as his twin brother agreed, "Yeah, she is!" They high five each other.

"She is the coolest!" Monty said excitedly as he fixed his glasses. "Coolest?" Jack mouthed out. "Remember when we had that massive snowball fight?" Claude asked as he made a snowball and threw it at Caleb who dogged.

"Yeah, she was the best at that!" Caleb agreed. "The best?" Jack mummered. "Ooh, and on my birthday she made the biggest party ever!" Pippa jumped up and down. "She was awesome!" Monty exclaimed.

"Awsome?" Jack whispered. "Uh, were is she, exactly?" Jack said as he leaned on his woden staff. "She's on her way here!" Cupcake yelled. "When is she getting here?" Jamie asked.

Jack chuckled at their excitement. "I'm not so sure." Cupcake shrugged. While they all told Jack how awesome and generous Y/n was they didn't know you had arrived.

"Mom! Dad!" You ran to them and hugged them both. Tears where shead. Blah, blah, blah. "Where's Cupcake?" You asked. "Oh, she's with Jamie and the others." Your mother said whipping her tears.

You lowly gasped with excitement and with one last hug you ran to find her. "Cupcake!" You called as you walked along the frozen path. Almost slipping. But you grabbed onto a ralling for bikes.

You sighed and carefully walked along the path. "Cupcake!" You yelled again. This time you were somewhere near Jamie's house and near the lake. "Uh, Jamie!?" You called.

"Ugh, come back from collage to a very warm welcome." You mocked. "Cupcake!!" You yelled louder. "Y/N!!" Cupcake and her friends ran to you. "Oh!" You feel backwards due to the force.

"Hi, guys!" You greeted as you hugged them all. They all bombarded you with questions as you stood up. Cupcake was clinging to your leg which you honestly didn't mind. You knew how much she missed you.

"Woah, woah! Calm down. One at a time, please." You laughed with them. But as you answered their questions Jack flew near you. He observed your features.

How your E/c eyes glimmering in the sun. How your S/c skin suited you well. The way your H/c colered hair framed your face perfectly. How soft your L/c lips looked.

He could tell you where a kind person by the way you interacted with the kids. "It's nice to see you all. But it's getting late shouldn't you guys be heading home?" You asked. Cupcake had finally let go of your leg.

"Oh, right!" Pippa realized. "Will we see you tomorrow?" Monty asked. "You bet!" The kids all cheered. "Come on, Cupcake. Say bye." You told your sister as you started to walk away.

"Bye!" All the kids said to each other and they all went home. "I have so much to tell you!" Cupcake said to you. "Oh, well I would love to hear it all."

Jack being the curious and mischievous guy he is decided to follow you two. He wanted to know you. Maybe even have you see him. He knew you couldn't. But that didn't stop him from trying.

"I have this cool story to tell you. It was awesome!" Cupcake beamed. "Alright. How about you wait 'till we get home. Yeah?" You asked as you glanced down at her. "Okay!" You giggled as she skipped home.

Feeling a cold but gentle breeze you smiled. You loved winter. Sure it was cold but it was fun. A small snowflake fell infront of you. Bringing your hand up the snowflake landed on your palm.

You giggled at the cold feeling. You smiled softly as it started to snow more. "It's snowing!" Cupcake said as she tried to capture snowflakes with her tounge.

"Winter. So lovely." You whispered. Cupcake was a few feet away from you and Jack was right next to you. "It is, ain't it?" Jack asked even though he knew you won't respond.

"How I whish I could just..control it." This peaked Jack's interest. "How so?" He asked. "Imagine me..able to bring winter anywhere, anytime, whenever." You giggled. Watching the snowflakes fall into your palm you felt happy.

Happy to be home. "Well, snowflake, you'll be happy to know, I already do that." Jack informed. You giggled and shoock your head. "Talking to myself. Gotta stop doing that."

You looked straight ahead and saw that Cupcake was further away. "Hey, Cupcake! Wait up!" You ran to her. Jack chuckled at you and looked back but decided to follow you.

I would like to request PLATONIC! Lilia Vanrouge with an incredibly beautiful daughter (or child if you want to make it gender neutral) who is completely oblivious to what power her beauty has over others and gets an endless amount of suiters, constantly asking Lilia for her hand in marriage

Hi! Omg wait this is such a funny idea. I'll make it gender neutral for this one ^^

Platonic!Lilia and his child!reader who gets a lot of suitors

I think first and foremost as a dad he wants his best for his kiddo. This goes for how he raised Silver and basically the entirety of Diasomnia. You are also subject to training like Silver and Sebek did, which helped you become closer to those two over the years

Lilia would definitely pamper you with travel souvenirs since he went on a lot of trips. If you were younger I feel like it might've been wholesome to dress you up and such but for you, you were able to play with Lilia's hair. Would he go out in armor with a few kiddy hair ties if his presence was needed in a fight? Yes.

But speaking of suitors, I think he would be a little protective of his child. Like on one hand he's like "yeah my child's the coolest :D" but then on the other hand he's like "omg why are there so many people asking for your hand in marriage." Like he himself would probably think you're the best looking person in all of Twisted Wonderland, but he wasn't expecting so many suitors when you came of age to start thinking about marriage

He's definitely strict with who he would let you meet, mostly because of his nature. While he isn't like breathing down the suitors' necks or anything, his smile doesn't really reach his eyes when he's talking to them haha

A lot of times he just turns down the suitors if they approach him at parties or other noble occasions. He's probably pretty good at reading people, but other than face-to-face meetings he also gets a lot of letters from across Twisted Wonderland. He doesn't like writing them all, so sometimes he just tells the suitors that ask why he hasn't replied by saying "oops, sorry I guess it got missing while getting sent here d:"

Might've thought about finding suitable people using something like they did in Brave where the suitors have to go through hurdles, only for his kid to beat them in all of them.

He knows that you have a really good appearance, but he wants to make sure whoever you end up with will appreciate you for who you are, not an idealized version of you. So, he really lets you choose who you want to meet, not meet, etc.

When you do eventually find the person you want to be with, he will be supportive of any decision you make going forward. He cares for your wellbeing both physically and mentally first and foremost!

Soul Eater Episode : 39 - Totally Uncool

Soul Eater has a number of great episodes, with the crowning jewel the series had being the finale to Maka's second fight with Crona.

However there is another episode that in my opinion is easily the second best, that being episod episode 39, where Crona's finally snaps regarding betraying Maka and the rest of the main cast to Medusa.

It's a very great episode, but the single best part is the way it connects both Maka and Crona rejecting their abusive mothers, just in different ways, while also using that to strengthen the bond between the two of them.

The first critical moment of this takes place in the early part of the episode, where Crona(Who is reeling with internal pains about Medusa, and betraying everyone) and Maka have a conversation where Maka bares her soul to Crona... Sort of.

Both of the two of them have massive, massive issues with their respective abusive mothers. While Medusa is an abusive mother who forces her child to dance to her tunes, and gasslighting Crona to believe nobody except her will ever show "forgiveness and kindness" Maka's mom instead very deliberately fought her exhusband for custody... Then after having achieved this symbolic victory over her husband, she took off, and abandoned her own child, only making contact with her through one sided postcards despite having every opportunity, and frankly a duty as Maka's legal guardian to look after her own kid.

Both of these women left deep, deep mental scars on their own children, just in different ways.

With Crona it is very, very obvious what Medusa has done, and is doing to her own child, as the episode is very much about confronting the effects of that abuse, but with Maka it's a bit less spelled out, and you have to read the subtext.

Maka puts her mom on a pedestal, mentally projecting her as a perfect woman who can do no wrong, not really being able to addmit to herself that her mom has left her and is not coming back. She instead projects all her frustration about everything to other people, more speciffically at the closest male figures in her life, Spirit and Soul.

It's a deeply, deeply unhealthy way of handling cope, and fuels a lot of her character flaws through the series, with both her relationahip with her father(Who though a terrible husband is not exactly the worst dad in the world) and her partner Soul being painted by hyper agression, a short temper, and a mental inability to give them any benefit of the doubt.

Interestingly enough, though chrona doesn't really push the point, it is Crona who is the person in the series who come the closest to realising directly just how fucked up Maka's relationship to her mom actualy is.

The most interesting part of their conversation though, is when Crona asks Maka what her best memories of her mother is, which Maka replies was when she divorced her dad, at which she saw her mom at her coolest.

This is a really, really fucked up thing to say for any child... But when you actually break it down, it gets even worse.

Maka blames her father rightfully for everything that went wrong in her parents marriage... But this divorce was a deeply fucked up thing. Her mother fought with her father for custody and won... Not because she actually wanted what was best for her child, but just to spite her husband. She wanted to rub it in that she won, and got the single most precious thing she could take from him... And having achieved this goal, she left, leaving her daughter behind in the same city her exhusband lived in, and effectively acting as her father anyway.

Its not exsctly clear why she did this. It could be that despite Maka's rose tinted glasses about her mother, her parent never actually loved her back nearly as much as she did her. It could be that she secretely came to resent her kid for a variety of reasons. Or it could be that she simply was too much of a coward to confront and live with the remains of her broken life, so she abandoned the most obvious reminder of that life.

Regardless, despite Maka's assessment that this was the coolest thing she ever saw her mother do, while the divorce itself was justified, what she actually did with it was the cowards way out, and left her daughter with a shit ton of issues, which she frankly was nowhere near able to recover from by the time the anime ended.

Regardless of her intentions though, her baring her soul to Crona about her(in denial) feelings about her mother does not help Crona, who still runs away from Death city, and has a breakdown of sort(a much smaller one than the one that will immediatly follow) after leaving the city and wandering to find a place to be alone.

Feeling completely alone, guilty, and with a massive case of selfloathing, selfhate and fear of rejection, Crona essentially shuts down, while thinking about happier days, the days with Maka and the rest of the gang.

It's here in this sandpit that Crona finally loses it due to guilt and lays it all out as Maka and Soul catch up.

Crona at first rejects Maka's request to come back home with them, angrily shouting that Maka doesn't know anything about Crona's real self.

It is here that Crona really, really loses it and lays out everything, poisoning Stein, still following Medusa's orders, the words, the tone and body language making it abundantly clear that Crona is absolutely wracked with self hatred for all this.

What Crona wants in this scene is for Maka to come down there and reinforce everything that Medusa has ever said, every lesson ever drilled in through long, hard, abuse. That Crona is a horrible, horrible person, who does not deserve sympathy or forgiveness, who frankly cannot be forgiven.

It's not what Crona actually wants deep down, but it is what the horrible words being said should logically lead to. It is the easy way out. The cowards way out.

And at first it seems to work, because Maka gets absolutely pissed, and storms down there to confront Crona directly, with Crona not offering a hint of resistance... Only for Maka, rather than punching Crona in the face for betraying her, instead say this.

Maka calls Crona out, but not in the manner she has so often done with her father or Soul.

Instead, rather than act with anger, or rage, lashing out because she feels angry and betrayed, she forces Crona to confront the fact that Crona neither wants to be a bad person following Medusa's orders, nor is completely devoid of virtues, quite on the contrary.

Maka is in this moment, doing the exact opposite of what her "Cool" mom did with her.

After experiencing a brutal, hard betrayal from her husband, rather than take the risk of opening herself up her heart again to anyone, she instead left her old life behind, and after one, final display of anger and rage, she left her own child behind after lashing out at her husband.

She took the cowards way out.

Maka does not take the cowards way out. Instead, after experiencing betrayal from a person she loves and understands, she makes the concious choice to take the hard road. To embrace the seeming madness that is opening her heart again to that person and risk facing betrayal again, despite Crona's words.

Its an extremely powerful moment, not just because it serves to show Maka's growth, how much Crona really means to her, but also for how in the end it ties her thematically to Asura, and the ultimate point of the series. Bravery and madness are two sides of the same coin.

It is madness to open yourself up to someone else, to bare your heart and soul, knowing fully well that action can lead to betrayal and hurt unlike any other... But it is also something that only those who are brave are able to do.

It is something Maka's mother, and Asura was never able to do... But Maka did, and through that, she's able help Crona begin the road to actual recovery as well.

Izuku as a child of Apollo just having a million big brothers/sisters and most are heroes is hilarious. None of fhem are letting their baby brother be bullied. Nope.

Oh god, Snipe, Hawks and Hizashi would be the most protective siblings and if you went ‘bad Inko’ i can juat imagine that custody battle. Hizashi ‘married to high school sweetheart’, Hawks ‘commission agent’ and Snipe ‘has a gun and no issue threatning people’. It would be hilarious.

The children of Apollo normally got along.

Okay well that wasn’t exactly true, but very rarely did they try to shoot at each other or scream the other’s eardrums out which put them head and shoulders over some demigod half-siblings. They weren’t Ares kids after all, they could keep it together.

Or they could, until their newest sibling came along.

Izuku Midoriya was an anomaly, a rare inheritor of their father’s knowledge aspect though just hearing them talk Hizashi swore up and down there was some music talent in there somewhere, and the kid always seemed to know exactly where villain or monster attacks would happen like they could see them coming… even if they took that knowledge and used it to run towards the fights rather than away. They didn’t have the usual look of an Apollo kid (Hizashi was the only one of them that had drawn that card) but it was nearly impossible to miss if someone knew what to look for, and the three heroes definitely knew what to look for.

But Izuku different from a typical Apollo kid or not wasn’t the problem. No the problem was that none of them could agree on what to do with them.

“I’m married!” Hizashi hissed, careful to keep their voice at a normal volume. The last time they had let their quirk slip against one of their brothers they had been dodging feathers for a week and they had no desire to repeat the experience. “And I’m a teacher! I have the best claim to a stable home life as any of us.”

Keigo narrowed his eyes, a feather twisting around his fingers as his annoyance grew. “I’m the Number Three Hero! If any one of us could take care of a kid it’s me!”

Snipe (why their brother had decided he preferred his hero name even in the off hours Hizashi would never understand, but they would honor his wishes) toyed with his gun. The fact that the barrel was pointed away from Hizashi at the moment did nothing to comfort them. It didn’t really matter where he pointed the damn things when dear old dad gave him the ability to curve his bullets.

(Hizashi would be more jealous that both of them got some sort of telekinesis while Hizashi could only be considered slightly above average when it came to anything involving projectiles but really they thought Voice was the coolest.)

“I am the only sane one between us.” Debatable, but again Hizashi wasn’t very interested in catching a bullet even if their brother had swapped them out for nonlethal rounds. They had seen the damage he could do with nerf bullets and the rounds he had were a far cry from those. “And I’m also a teacher. So don’t give me that look Zashi.”

They smoothed their face, cursing themself for letting their annoyance show. Normally they were better than this but their brothers knew just how to get under their skin.

“Um,” All three of them jolted having forgotten their sibling was still there watching them with those wide green eyes so full of wonder. “You don’t have to fight over me. I’m fine. Really.”

They weren’t. The kid’s sleeves weren’t nearly long enough to hide the bruises and fresh burns on their arms and Hizashi was pretty sure they had seen the kid limping before they had finished the fight. As much as they wanted to be picking a fight with their brothers right now… healing first.

And Hizashi was the best healer.

(Ha!)

“You’re not fine, listener,” Their voice went gentle, low, the soothing rumble under it already encouraging healing raven as they knelt beside Izuku. “Our brothers are just being stupid. It’s pretty common experience.”

“Hey!”

“Zashi!”

They smiled, bright. Blinding to anyone who didn’t also have sunlight in their blood. “C’mon. We can head back to my place and get you patched up. Any other… arrangements can be made after you’re healed.”

“I’m coming too!”

“And me!”

Shouta was going to kill them… but at least Hizashi could shove their brothers at him first for canon fodder.

Izuku looked like they might argue but…

“Ours,” they said. “You said they are our brothers.”

Hizashi ran careful fingers over the kid’s cheek. “Ours. We Apollo kids have to stick together after all… even if some of us are annoying.”

“Coming from Queen annoying that says a lot,” Hawks mumbled. Hizashi made a mental note to curse him into speaking in lyrics later. They were pretty sure he had a meeting coming up where that would be particularly annoying.

Izuku looked between the three of them, eyes burning like the noonday sun as they hunted for something in their expressions. But eventually they smiled. “I’ve always wanted big siblings.”

Shit, Hizashi thought. They were going to end up with the most complicated three way custody agreement they just knew it.

Instagram Intros (Mitch Marner's Kids)

Lucas William Marner (@lucasmarner)

DOB: August 29th 2016 Age: 32 years old Hometown: Toronto, Ontario Nicknames: Luke, Luka, Lukey S/O: Ashlyn Morris Kids: Nolan, Joshua, and Braley Best Friend(s): Eliot Nylander Aesthetic: Lucas, like his father and step-father, was a hockey player. His father had convinced his mother to put him into pee-wee hockey when he was around 4 years old and he had been playing ever since. He was an exceptional player from the beginning, already having experience tagging along to family skate and the Leafs games growing up. Luke adored his dad in every way shape and form. So when his parents split up and Olivia started dating Jack, it was hard on him to say the least. He was used to being around the Leafs family, and now being so called "stuck" in New Jersey with Jack's actual family ruined him. He was as open to Jack as his younger siblings were. Luke was being constantly berated by his mom for acting rudely towards his step-father. Jack understood to an extent, but it didn't hurt him any less. Mitch wasn't any help either though, disliking this quick relationship with his ex, talking trash and fighting Jack any time he could. When Olivia and Mitch had their one-night stand while her and Jack were on a break, and she ending up pregnant with her first daughter, Lucas thought this was finally his parents time to get back together. Olivia, however, made it clear that her and Mitch were not going to be together again. This bother Luke, but it got him to truly understand the reality of it all. His parents still tried to get along with each other, and he still visited Toronto every winter and for playoffs. Him and Jack started to bond over hockey, though Mitch was the only one he would practice with other than his brothers. When he was 18, Lucas was the first overall draft for the Toronto Maple Leafs and became a legacy player. He brought the Leafs to the Stanley Cup in 2037, 10 years after his father did so.

Myles Thomas Marner (@mylestmarner)

DOB: May 10th 2020 Age: 28 years old Hometown: Toronto, Ontario Nicknames: Mile, Miley S/O: Lilly Dunn Kids: Callie and Athena Best Friend(s): Jeremiah Wagner, Matteo Aguilar, and Braydon Pham Aesthetic: Myles, unlike his older brother, was obsessed with Jack. He was only 3 when he and Olivia started dating, but he already knew he was the coolest person he had ever met. Of course he loved his dad and wanted him to win at all times, but Jack just seemed so chill. Liv watched her son follow Jack around the rink and the house all day, she couldn't believe one of her sons was actually okay with her new boyfriend. Myles used to yell at his older brother whenever he gave Jack attitude. Jack thought this was the funniest thing ever. He loved having someone on his team rooting for him. When Henry was born, Myles was ready to get him on the ice right away, but Olivia and Jack had to help him take a step back, considering Harry couldn't even hold his head up just yet. You can bet though that Myles was the first to teach him anything when he could. In fact Henry's nickname, Haz or Hazzy, was given to him by his older half-brother. The nickname stuck well into his NHL career too. Miley was the 4th overall pick for the Carolina Hurricanes and he was pretty damn good.

Lincoln Daniel Marner (@linc_m12)

DOB: July 21st 2023 Age: 25 years old Hometown: Hobokken, New Jersey Nicknames: Linc, Linny, Lake S/O: Reece Mercer Kids: None Best Friend(s): Jonah Matthews and Zachery Brandt Aesthetic: Lincoln grew up in New Jersey, which makes him a Devils fan. He wasn't all that big into hockey like his brothers though. In fact, in a house full of hockey players, he sort of felt left out. He and his mom were very close, big mama's boy. She knew how he felt and tried to explain to him that it was all good if he didn't want to play the majority sport. Lincoln still played with his brother and dads when he could, but honestly wished he could just cuddle up with Liv on the bench. Mitch saw how bent out of shape Linc was and knew immediately what was wrong. He never wanted to force this life on his kids, if they liked it (like Luke and Myles) great! If not, that was okay too. Mitch, having gone through it with his dad too, didn't want to do that to his son also. Jack on the other hand, wasn't aware of this and encouraged Lincoln whenever he could to get on the ice. He thought he was helping, believing that Lincoln was just insecure about his skating or something, but to Mitch it looked like peer pressure. Whilst visiting Toronto during the winter, the whole group joined the Leafs at family skate, including Jack. Once Mitch saw Jack "bothering" Linc to get on the ice with every, shit hit the fan. Mitch started beating Jack black and blue, only stopping when JT pulled him off him. Lincoln had ran away to the locker rooms, hiding in the corner. Olivia was too busy yelling at Mitch and helping Jack with his injuries to notice Auston skating away from the rink. He had stopped by in the locker room on his hunt for the missing boy, and saw Lincoln curled up in a ball near his dad's gear. Auston pulled Lincoln into his arms and soothed the little boy. They had a long talk, and this is when Auston found out that Linc was into baseball and had been wanting to play for a while but was just too scared too say anything. Auston brought this up to Liv and had set up a schedule for him to help practice with her son. He ended up being drafted for the New York Mets when he was 18 along with Auston's son Jonah, and has been playing there since. Jack had apologised to the kid and had been at every single baseball game Lincoln ever played.

Madison Jay Marner (@maddiemarner)

DOB: February 13th 2029 Age: 19 years old Hometown: Hobokken, New Jersey Nicknames: Mads, Maddie, Sonny S/O: Spencer Reynolds Kids: None Best Friend(s): Arthur Hughes Aesthetic: Madison's story is a complicated one. Jack and Olivia had been on a break for about 2 months at the time her mother had gotten pregnant with her. Mitch and Olivia had a one night stand and it ended in Madison's conception. The competition between Jack and Mitch was now at all time high. When Olivia had told Mitch about it, he was excited, thinking that maybe he could get her back because of this, but she had the plans to abort Maddie, scared that she had completely messed up her family with Jack. She had already had two little boys with him, she knew he was a good father, she just didn't know how he would react to her being pregnant with her ex baby daddy's kid. Jack freaked out for a minute, staying at his mom's house for a week, before Ellen had talked some sense into him and he went back. He understood that they had been on a break and that he can't really be mad. Jack had continued to support Liv throughout this pregnancy, though he was weary having Mitch around now more than usual. Mitch had been making a point that this baby was his and that Jack shouldn't be included in this, refusing to let Jack in at appointments, not allowing him to be a part of baby showers and what not. Olivia had hated seeing Jack so excluded, knowing that Jack was going to be the one mainly around for the kid. When she had found out the gender she was so excited! Finally a girl to be on her side! Mitch had been now bragging about how he gave Olivia, not only her first kid, but now her first daughter too. Jack found this insufferable, and he was sad a little bit too. Liv had promised to include Jack in everything and now he couldn't even enjoy the thought of having a daughter because Mitch had made it his mission to remind him that this little girl wasn't his. When Madison was born however, Mitch was out of town, leaving Jack to be there in the delivery room when she made her entrance into this world. She was a big daddy's girl too…with Jack. She didn't really care for Mitch, funny considering he was so entitled to her before. Jack was wrapped around her finger the minute she was born, and sobbed when he got to hold her and when he saw that she was named after him. As Maddie grew up, Jack and Mitch's relationship got better, for the sake of her. She hated that her dads didn't get along, wanted them to love each other as much as she did them. No, that didn't exactly happen, but they did tolerate each other for her well-being.

(yesss!! computer languages are like french or german for me. oh my goshhhh no way, never fear friend, I will teach you everything you need to know about coding, chat gpt ain’t got nothing on the xandobot 3000 (aka me))

French and german are still difficult. cries in can only speak English fluently can i get the xandobot 3000 installed on my pc as an extension please?

(mostly I’m a non-fiction kind of guys, I prefer to read up on old inventors for inspiration or how machines work. but overall pretty much anything and everything, I like to be informed about the world and everything in it, how it all works. although I do love me a good sci-fi novel with evil robots 😎😎)

haha evil robots are the best!!! not when they're terrorising the earth though 😟

(hw is SOOOOOOO boring!! I would much rather be building a new contraption then brushing up on quadratic formula!! literally, we can be smart and not like hw. don’t worry nash is 99.999% sure I’ll never grow up or have adult responsibilities so I’ll be okay!!)

IKR HW SUCKS. "DO THIS" "DO THAT" 👹👹👹 HOW ABOUT YOU Not you ofc, Xander 🥰 ugh quadratic formulas suck. why do they exist. IKR LIKE QUIT WITH THE STEREOTYPES PEOPLE. IF THERE'S ONE THING I HATE THE MOST ITS STEREOTYPES. UGH. also, i've just been sitting here trying to decode what you mean in the last sentence of its that a grammatical typo or smt….. cuz i said "it's a miracle adults can adult properly. i know i couldn't" and then you said " nash is 99.999% sure I’ll never grow up or have adult responsibilities" but then said "you'll be okay"…… maybe my brain just decided not to brain today welp.

(ooohhhh I see!! two xanders would be fun and slightly chaotic but what’s life without chaos right?? I think a snowflake is also a very interesting and fun person to talk to 🤭🤭 jameson has his ways, his stubborn, stubborn ways…)

nah, I can live with two xanders 💙🩵 awww ty (my species has now be reidentified as a snowflake not as a human being) sigh…. jameson, jameson, jameson… what are we gonna do about you.

(oooo so you’re a swimmer like my brother!! he’ll be happy for new competition!!)

(YAYAYAYAYYAYAY XANDER ON TOPPPP 👑👑 I MEAN OFCCC BUT YAYAYAYYAYAYA!! we love our little serious gray)

OFC XANDER IS AT THE TOP 👑👑👑 A XANDER IS ALWAYS THE BEST (AGAIN, EXCEPT THAT ONE OTHER XANDER I HAD AS A CLASSMATE. HE SUCKED. WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE BEEN MY CLASSMATE?)

(OMG STORYTIME IS BACK = SCONES ARE ALSO BACK!! bahahhahahahahhahaghaa yessss you all put that so called sporty kid in his place!! and I agree, for the love of blueberry scones, he should have shut up. I hate people like that ☹️)

IKR. I HATE WHEN IDIOTS DON'T SHUT UP. LIKE. PLS STOP SHARING YOUR STUPIDITY WITH THE WORLD, THANK YOU. honestly common sense not so common nowadays anymore ☹️

(yayayayayya me too!! my top three are 🤖💥🧐grayson banned me from using the poop emoji 💔💔)

dang, grayson, way to ruin all the fun 😔

(explosions are cool!! arson is not BUTTTT if it ever did happen we have amazing lawyers (shout out to our girl alisa) who would 100% cover it all up!!)

i mean controlled arson is cool. like when you do mini explosions that won't harm others 😎 but when you harm others, that's a big no no.

(uh-huh gift giving is all xander 😎😎 scones are my personality, I’m sure I’m part scone by now 🤭🤭 oooo thank you!! when’s your birthday?? I want to send you a message too!!)

hehe my bday is november 1st so you're gonna have to wait till next year 🙃

okay time for some new discussions……. uuuumm……… oh wait since we've been talking abt family a lot, how's things with your dad coming along? (i'm glad out of the 4 of you, at least one of you has a good dad 😔 sheffield grayson kinda set the bar pretty low tho tbh). if that's a bit personal it's fine!!! i just hope things are going well 💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵

(okayyy hopefully I won’t lose any more of your messages snowflake, I’m so sorry I did to this one!! bye for now, xander out 🫡)

aww, it's okay! i'm saving them from now on 🫡. and bye bye!!!!!

I AM SOOOO SORRY ITS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO REPLYYY!! you see I lost a bet so lost my phone in the process and then got caught up on the hawthorne mystery advent calendar…

BUTTTT that’s a story for another time!!

(how r u? I've sent over some scones from that recipe you love so much! hope they don't go stale before they arrive at hawthorne house (these delivery people nowadays sigh))

your scones were PERFECTOOO!! not stale at all!! the delivery driver did a good job… this time

(well I love studying and learning but school makes it boring and insufferable 😔 "you must do this" "you must do that" sigh….. also dw, I won't even ask abt ur top secret hawthorne business (what is your top secret hawthorne business 👀))

yessss school can be so confining 😔💔 too regimental in my opinion… (hmmm my too secret hawthorne business was a possible link to a certain secret santa game that may begin very soon in the hawthorne household…

(but grayson is blond…. so does that mean you're going to have one blond eyebrow??? 🤨i'm not too sure about this idea…)

well we could dye it… ORRRR I could have one blonde eyebrow it might be a new look for the Xand 😎😎

(ikr, like how can anyone be mad at you? 😔 awww i'm guessing its the puppy eyes? 🤨 if so, HA TAKE THAT ALISA. (i think grayson might unfortunately be immune tho 😔 sad))

IT IS THE PUPPY EYES!! NO ONE CAN RESISTTTT (it’s a talent) it depends on grayson’s mood as to whether he lets my puppy dog eyes overtake his grayson-y senses

(as it rightfully should. you all should tell that story to your kids and grankids too 👀. "Once upon a time there was a grumpy blond dude who takes things too seriously. He was always too uptight and boring. But then one day, he suddenly found himself in too-tight leather pants. The End")

of course!! it will be a bedtime classic and then on movie nights I’ll play them the video 🤭🤭

(i think that's the other way round; you're not annoying and that possibility has gone for my brothers. also, whoever said your annoying COME ON OUT OUT HERE. I'M READY TO THROW HANDS. WHICH IDIOT SAID THAT? HUH? HUH?? THAT'S RIGHT! WANNA FIGHT??)

HAHAHAHAHA HATER GONNA HATE SNOWFLAKE BUT IM JUST GONNA SHAKEEE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE 🎵SHAKE IT OFF🎵 (sorry when nash blasts taylor swift I can hear it from my room and it gets in my head!!)

(hehe i'll see what i can do 👀 movies are a family thing for me so if one of us watches a movie, all of us watch it in most cases. i doubt my brothers want to watch a movie about a sophistacted cat lady who has better taste and braincells than them tho. ah well. and everyone keeps telling me i need to watch star wars 😭😭😭 I DON'T WANT TO WATCH IN ON MY PHONE CUZ MY GLASSES POWER WOULD GO UP BUT IF I PUT IT ON THE TV MY BROTHERS COME BUSYBODY AND COMMENT ON EVERYTHING SO THEY'LL SPOIL IT 😭😭😭. also no problem xand 🩵 but technically snowflakes aren't blue………)

whelp you could always force them too 🙃🙃 OH MY GOSH YOU MUSTT WATCH STARWARS IT IS A CLASSIC!! oh no, you should kick your brothers out for a few hours so you can watch it in peace!! (SHHHH LETS IGNORE THE TECHNICALITIES FOR NOW!! SNOWFLAKES ARE BLUE IN MY EYES!!)

(NO YOU'RE NOT BIAS AT ALL. A XANDER IS ALWAYS THE BEST. AH WELL EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE CLASSMATE I HAD. HE'S A DISGRACE TO THE XANDER NAME 👹👹👹)

CANT BELIEVE ANYONE WOULD DISGRACE THE GOOD XANDER NAME LIKE THAT!! HOPEFULLY I MAKE UP ENOUGH OF THE XANDER AMAZINGNESS TO CANCEL HIM OUT!!

(YES PLEASE. I NEED TO RELEASE MY ANGER ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT MY STUPID CLASSMATES. I'M SORRY WHATEVER THIGNS I'M GOING TO EXPLOAD BUT I DON'T WANT "MASS MURDER BY EXPLOSIVES" ON MY JAIL RECORD 😭)

ITS OKAYYY ALISA CAN GET IT OFF 🤭🤭 SHE’S DONE IT FOR ME BEFORE (just to be clear not for mass murder, I do not murder people)

(French and german are still difficult. cries in can only speak English fluently can i get the xandobot 3000 installed on my pc as an extension please?)

I think I can make that happen!! installation coming up for you!! 😊😊😊😊

(haha evil robots are the best!!! not when they're terrorising the earth though 😟)

it’s not that I mind quadratic formulas it’s that I mind how I use them, why sit it math class and do 20 questions when I could apply them to my robotics 😔😔 YESSSS STEREOTYPE SUCK!! I FEEL YOU THERE!! ohhhh what I meant was nash is 99.9999% sure I’ll never have adult responsibilities so I’ll be okay because I won’t have to be an adult who adults properly

[azuremliam]

Aaaaaugh, this took so long and its only 15 of the 53 kiddos aaaaaaa- Oh boy, alrighty, this right here is Scarab's batch of hatchlings right out of their grub forms!

More info about each of the funky bug lizard kids underneath the readmore 👍

First off, Kroko! (Name ='s Crocodile)

The friendliest and most out going of Scarab's batch, and often seen darting around Liam's legs when they're walking around their dimension.

The most curious about things too, often asks Scarab about the multiverse and about their grandparents. Despite being the friendliest, wants to be like Scarab and help him with God Auditing.

Timsah (aka Tim) (And another word for Crocodile)

Unlike Kroko, Timsah is very, very shy. And feels comfortable the most in either with a group of their fellow clutch, or in the presence of their Scarab and Liam.

They're best buds with Guster and be seen tagging along with her often. Likes to sort things to calm themself down or clinging onto Liam's tail.

Guster (aka Gus) (Name ='s Lizard)

Very artistic of Scarab's batch of hatchlings, and also outgoing and a bit of a troublemaker! She really loves painting, and just making a mess with it too.

Usually seen with Tim, but also just roams about by herself. Has painted many things on one side of the Tree Stump house. Almost always asks Scarab to tell her stories about his Auditing missions.

Ogle (Another Word for Lizard technically)

Enjoys watching Liam judge the cosmic entities and other beings. Wants to one day be a cosmic entity that essentially keeps records of other being's past deeds.

Also really loves detective stories and has dressed up as a sleuth on numerous occasions. Despite sticking around Liam a lot, Scarab is their favorite parent.

Bille (Named after Bille the Hero from Liam's Homeworld)

A sweetheart and doesn't really care for fighting. Really wants to be a crystal architect like his grandparents. Gets along really well with Merid and Maxi, both of which also want to become crystal architects too.

Has a collection of crystals in his room that Scarab has picked up for them in other worlds. Loves spending time with Liam the most and is often seen falling asleep on top of their head.

Carri (Named after a (Mail) Carrier)

Thinks Fionna is just the coolest much to Scarab's dismay. It's because when they first saw her they got really excited that they have the same teeth. When visiting OOO with Scarab one day, they became best friends with Astrid.

Often asks their parents to bring sweets back from Fionna's world and is a big fan of Gary's treats. One of the main reasons for Liam's frequent visits to their world in particular and also OOO.

Goliath (Named after the Goliath Beetle)

Lil guy is often put in charge of keeping an eye on all the other 52 kids when Liam and Scarab are away and no one else can watch over them. Quite, but not timid, or a stick in the mud.

Most of the other hatchlings do find comfort in his presence just like their parents. He's also the biggest of all the 53! Also molted out of his grub stage first too.

Has the deepest voice out of all of them. Likes making sure everyone is safe and helping people. Gets along pretty well with any visiting Finn, especially Uncle Finn (Bug world!).

One day, wants to go adventuring just like Liam used to in their homeworld.

Sargantana (aka Ana) (Yet another word for Lizard)

Really looks up to Scarab and tends to mimic his no nonsense attitude. They're also pretty hotheaded- and that worries Scarab sometimes.

Often copies whatever he's doing when he's back home like a little shadow. It used to confuse him when they first started doing it.

Loves taking naps on Scarab and Liam and often relaxed around their shoulders like a boa. Also wants to be a God Auditor like him and studies for it in secret (Both Liam and Scarab know about their "secret" studying though- they aren't very discreet lol).

Lagarto (aka Gar) (Yep- Another word for Lizard)

Really, reaaaaaaally loves gardening and working with plants. Often with Scarab when he's in the garden and insists on helping him tend to the plants.

Wants to research the entire multiverse's worth of plants, so essentially wants to be a botanists.

Also enjoys cooking with Liam (who essentially has it as a hobby now so they won't be bored when Scarab's away- and also so they won't forget Gemma's recipes she made for them and Finn. Leads to a lot of food being made) and really loves making dishes focused with fruits and vegetables. 

Scarab and Uncle Finn bring him plants and he has his own little collection of plants in a corner of the "greenhouse" room.

Sisalik (aka Sal) (Yet again, another word for Lizard)

Likes to bite! A lot. But is another softy who just really likes to gnaw on things. (Scarab jokes that they inherited the urge to gnaw on things from Liam). When they don't have anything to gnaw on- they often resort to biting Liam's tail.

Along with Gremxula, gets very sad when they inevitably tear their favorite toys and pillows and Liam often sews them back together again. Speaking of, the duo are never far from each other.

Liam is their favorite parent, and they'd never bite Sir Ducky. Has told Liam and Scarab that "if their ever was a job for biting we'd (Gremxula included) be the best for it!" which made them both have a good laugh about it.

Gremxula (aka Xula) (Once again, another word for Lizard)

Best buds with Sisalik, they even hatched at the same time! Also loves to bite- but unlike their sibling they love to gnaw on Scarab's ankles lol. Doesn't do him any damage, but ends up with him dragging his leg or walking awkwardly with them latched along for the ride.

He gets slightly annoyed with it but it makes Liam laugh every time it happens so he lets it slide.

Scarab suspects Xula does it to make them laugh specifically. They have their own favorite plush toy, and they named it "Sir Petals". Sir Petals has been through a lot.

Like Sisalik, Liam's their favorite parent, and Vera is their favorite grandparent. They want to be as tall as Deargadaol one day.

Lucy (aka one of the Lucertola kids lol- which was yet another word for Lizard)

Loves to bake and cook with Liam too! But Scarab's his favorite parent, and more often than not, the treats he makes often look like him.

Has told Liam and Scarab that he wants to be a baker one day. Occasionally gets teased (not mean-spiritedly though) by his siblings for looking a bit like a rat but doesn't care.

But eventually grows to like it, especially when Scarab tells him about how Fionna had a prophetic dream and he was essentially at rat bus.

Scarab somewhat regrets telling him about it, because more often than not Lucy makes new treats with his face slapped onto a rat shape. He (Lucy) always gives Liam the first batch of his food, and Liam was the one who encouraged him to make Scarab rats lol.

Wants to work with Gary and learn from him (yet again much to Scarab's dismay but he lets his kids do what they want for the most part).

Vandu (Named after a Jewel Beetle)

Loves helping with anything really, and has a real sweet tooth for Scarab's homeworld foods. Helps out Goliath take care of their other siblings with things a lot.

Doesn't like the feeling of certain textures like fabrics on their underbelly. Wants to be a librarian and often asks Scarab if he's ever been to libraries in the multiverse and what they were like.

Very chatty and loves sharing things they've learned with their siblings and parents. Also helps Lucy find new recipes to try out frequently.

Driezas (Lizard name here we gooo)

She loves flowers, and enjoys planting them and especially eating the edible ones. Along with Lagarto, has a little corner to herself in the "greenhouse" room where she tends to a patch of flowers.

Fascinated by Liam's stories about their homeworld's giant plants and wants to visit there one day.

Loves sleeping in Liam's hair and hugging onto their horns. Is good pals with Eidecshe and the two siblings garden together a lot.

Doesn't like to sleep, and either Scarab or Liam have to essentially cradle her in their arms to get her to knock out. Another surefire way to have her fall asleep is in a bug pile with a big group of her other siblings.

And finally Eidecshe! (Aaaaand name means Lizard)

Doesn't really care for plants, but enjoys spending time with their siblings and dad so they help out anyways. Second biggest of the hatchlings, right after Goliath.

Often naps in the garden right after helping out. Will 100% climb on Scarab's back while he's working on his plant collection and knock out. Scarab's gotten used to it.

Also will climb onto Liam's tail to take a nap, it's their favorite place to nap actually- really comforts them.

More often than not seen sleeping in the oddest of places.

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #234

With a fried egg, do you prefer the yolk runny or set? I won't eat a fried egg because of the yolk. I mean, if I had no choice I would eat the white if the yolk was set, but I'm not touching the yolk.

How do you listen to music? Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, something else? YouTube.

Do you think everyone should vote, even if it's not mandatory? I think you SHOULD educate yourself and vote, but I also don't think you should walk in there ignorant of what whom you're voting for stands for. Don't just pick without reason or something. Then again, the electoral college has proven to have much more say than our actual democratic voting process of the citizens whose values they're supposed to cherish...

If you could have any animal as a pet, what would you have? IF I had the proper permissions and education, a Virginia opossum. I want to rescue one one day.

Which of your breakups was the hardest for you to get over? Jason, of course.

Have your parents traveled to any countries that you have not been to? No.

Do you prefer sleeping in total darkness, or do you like to have a little bit of light? Faint amount of light.

Would you rather take a class in fencing or archery? Archery.

Has a significant other ever given you the silent treatment during a fight? Yup. I've probably done this in my first relationship; I definitely learned it's so non-constructive, though. You're not fixing shit, you're just dragging animosity out.

Have you ever had a stalker? No, thankfully.

What has been the best thing to happen to you in the past year? Personal/emotional growth, I guess.

Who do you have listed as emergency contacts in your phone? I don't think I have emergency contacts...

Are you prone to jealousy? No.

Have you ever been someone's first love? Possibly, I don't know.

Who in your family has the coolest job? I don't know. I know my brother has a high-flying job, but I've never fully understood what it is, even Mom doesn't know how to describe it.

What is something that drains your energy really quickly? Being around kids.

What is your favorite food to put gravy on? I hate gravy.

Do you use TikTok? No.

What is your favorite shade of brown? Probably like, ochre.

Have you ever gotten a henna tattoo? Yes.

Did you like to play in the mud as a kid? I remember I liked riding my bike through mud as fast as I could.

Do you know anyone who doesn't like chocolate, and if so, who? My nephew Ryder doesn't like chocolate much; he'll tend to pick non-chocolate flavors of things, like for cookies and ice cream. My maternal grandma didn't like chocolate unless it was Reese's.

Do you ever get chocolate cravings? I sure do.

How many deer do you think you've seen cross the road at one time? I don't think more than one, certainly not more than two.

Do you tan well in the summertime? I don't willingly tan, but if I'm in the sun for whatever reason, I burn like a motherfucker.

Who was the last person you held hands with? My boyfriend.

Do you believe in luck and miracles? I believe in luck as in being in the right place at the right time, but not as an actual force, where you can literally have good or bad luck. It's chance. I don't believe in miracles.

Do you think there is life on other planets? Yes, I think it's quite self-important for humans to think we're the only ones in an infinite universe, like come on.

Do you still talk to your first crush? No, I removed him off my Facebook long ago for posting some ridiculous shit he got roasted in the comments for. I hadn't talked to him for years upon years anyway.

Favorite part of your daily routine? This is so pathetic, but getting on the computer for the day, when I haven't checked anything yet.

What part of your body are you most uncomfortable with? My legs, probably. But I also despise my stomach.

Ever been to a bonfire party? Yes, in New York for a birthday party.

Ever broken someone’s heart? I don't think romantically, but otherwise, yes.

Have you ever been on a horse? Yes.

Do you play the Wii? I've played Guitar Hero more lately because we plugged the Wii up for the kids, primarily.

Do you like chicken noodle soup? I don't.

Is cheating ever okay? No.

Do you sleep with your doors open or closed? Open, my cat would never allow closed doors lol.

Mars or Snickers? I don't like Snickers and I don't think I've ever tried a Mars bar, don't even know what's in it.

Could you be friends with someone who was exactly like you? Yeah, I think so.

What do you think of stealing? If you're stealing necessities from a corporate store and I saw you, I absolutely did not actually see you. Capitalism is fucking evil, doing whatever harmless thing you can to survive in this bitch of a world is not.

If you could be told when you were going to die, would you want to know? Absolutely not.

What would you do in case of the zombie apocalypse? Literally die, I would never survive this.

If you died right now, what would be your biggest regret? Never feeling like I reached a point of true contentment and peace with my adult life.

Would you ever take a job you hated just to get money? I think I've proven I can't do this...

Are you joyful right now? No, I'm really bummed with life just feeling so agonizingly same-y. And I miss Girt a lot. I don't see him until Tuesday.

Would you rather lose all of your memories or never be able to have more? Honestly... if I HAD to pick, probably lose all of my memories. Not being able to make more with a hopeful long life ahead of me is really depressing. It's not like my best memories have happened yet. ... I hope.

When was the last time you had deja vu? I don't specifically remember the last time, but it always freaks me out when it happens.

Would you rather wear really girly or really masculine clothing? Both sound miserable for me.

Do you really like the food at fast food places? Too much, I wish I didn't.

What are people always saying to you? That I'm too quiet.

Do you like buffet restaurants? No, they gross me out.

Do you miss childhood at all? In the sense of childlike wonder and finding entertainment a lot easier, yes. Anhedonia and living agonizingly routinely... I'm tired of it.

What would you do if you found an inappropriate picture of yourself online? This would freak me the absolute fuck out because I'd have no idea how anyone got it.

Do you wish you could live in the past just to see what it was like? Not really, women were more oppressed than they already are and the mentally ill were cooped up in asylums getting lobotomies, so...

Do you own anything “designer?” No. Not only can I absolutely not afford designer things, but a lot of times, they're honestly ugly to me.

If you had to draw your life, what would it mainly include? Mental health struggles.

How has Covid affected you? I just got over it for the second time, so it's had a role in my life.

Do you think we were put on this earth for a reason? No.

Do you have a YouTube channel? If no, would you create one? If yes, what’s your content? I do, but I don't really make anything anymore and haven't for many years. I used to make like, GMV and similar-type edits.

Would you ever date someone online? Meh, I don't know if I'd do it again.

Have you been ghosted before? Would you ghost someone? No, and I don't think so. I'd like to give reason for cutting contact with someone.

Do you ever miss Vine? Dude I loved Vine, it was my kind of humor, even though I never actually went on the website. I saw what I saw though social media and YouTube compliations.

Would you ever have a pet rat? I've had pet rats and I loved them, but I don't think I'd do this again. I hate cleaning rodents' cages.

Are you allergic to anything serious? No.

Do you think dreams mean anything? They can indicate something being on your mind, but absolutely not always. Sometimes you just dream pure nonsense, I know I do.

How many TVs do you have in your home? Two; one in the living room, one in Mom's room.

Your favorite store as a teen? Hot Topic.

Happy 21st birthday, what is/was your first legal drink purchase? I think I had a margarita.

Do you wear socks to bed? No, I hate socks if I'm not wearing shoes.

Dear Ex Best Friend,

Do you remember when we used to hang out outside together? When it was just you & I & M & G, and we were closer than anyone else? There were so many good times. I remember how I used to tease you for your celebrity crushes. I remember how you and M got married by the "Gay Tree". I remember how we helped Gracie get together with her crush- did you know that they're still together 2 years later? I remember how we went to murder mysteries, and ice rinks, and restaurants, and theatre productions. And I miss that.

But I also remember the worse times. The times when you would hit me, or try to drag me towards a boy who liked me to see how I'd try to reject him, or mock me for being 'too innocent', or beat me up with my bag, or break my things because you thought it was funny, or get mad about the slightest thing and chase me until I was on the verge of an asthma attack and you had me by the hair. I remember how you and M used to fight, and how M changed when I first brought you into the friendship group.

M was my first friend. Things were never perfect between us, not when we were so different and she sometimes said the most hurtful things as a joke, but I cared about her so, so much for so long. She was the one I went to Alton Towers with, and to SIX with, and to Spain with, and to the leisure centre with, and on countless sleepovers with. Even just one year ago, if someone had asked me who my closest friend was, I would've said M.

But you liked to fight her. She liked to fight you. Mind you, maybe 'liked' isn't the right work. But you did fight, and then neither of you would apologise, and you'd both be hurt and angry and I never knew quite what to do. And then M got tired of the fighting, and she left for other friends. Things are sort of awkward between us now. My parents keep asking when she's going to come over again, but we haven't exchanged more than a 'hello' in months.

You started to get better, though, after that. We were all so messy, me especially, because M was my best friend and she left without the slightest bit of hesitation. The rest of us stayed together, and you seemed to mature a little. You didn't shove me around as much, or make as many sex jokes during lunch, or yell as much. You were getting better.

And then you hurt G. And you refused to apologise. And G told me you've been hurting her too. And that you've been self-harming.

Perhaps it was selfish of me, but it's always seemed like I was the only one you went after. G had a sort of immunity, back when we were 12. She was the coolest of us. The artist, the musician, the one who never did anything to upset anyone. Everyone loved G.

I love G. We've had lightsaber wars together in her living room, played Rush E as a duet on the school piano, seen some movie or the other at the cinema, discussed Beetlejuice the musical and messed around in one of those kids' rides at a shopping centre. She's talented, and creative, and she's tired of you. She has been for a long time.

I think you hurting her was the final straw, really. It's kind of scary to think of how easy it was to "move on" from our friendship. We'd been close for 3 years, then just like that, we weren't anymore. And a group that had gone from M & I, then to M & I & you & G, then to M & I & you & G & A & M & F, had gone to G & I & A.

G and A are still dating, which makes things a little awkward sometimes. I know that they both prefer each other's company over mine, but that's okay! I have the piano, and revision to get done. I'm fine. I don't really need friends anyway.

I guess it would've been nice to keep the ones I had, though.

Thank you for making the good memories. There's a plethora of them, and it hurts to know I'll never have something like that again. We're getting older. I'm going into A levels at our school this year, you're all heading off to colleges or apprenticeships. I don't know if I'll ever see most of you again. You always called me the 'nerd'. I'm not sure why you considered that such a bad thing.

I want to say that I hate you, but I don't. I know you well enough that I know where a lot of this comes from. I know your mother isn't the best. I know that as much as I may have been bullied over the years, it's been so awful for you too. I know people call you an "alien", and that you have ADHD, and I wouldn't be surprised if you had some form of anger issues alongside that.

You're impulsive, and you're spiteful, and you've hurt me more times than I can recall. And despite it all, I can't help but feel like this is all my fault. I brought you into the friendship group. I didn't notice you were self harming. I didn't go with M when she first left the group. Maybe if I'd have tried harder, I would've been able to make this all work. But as it stands, we're all separated.

You've hopped from friendship group to friendship group since then. First it was with F, then she fell out with you. Then it was with M, then she started avoiding you. Now it's with another group, but they've been close for years and you're a new element. No-one seems to want you for long. In that sense, I pity you.

I spend most days alone now. I revise at lunch and before school and after school and at break. People have started to like me a lot more since I fell out with you. Our drama class have named their group chat after me. Some of the popular girls have started calling me "actually really sweet". I'm inoffensive, and polite to people even when they've been awful before, and I help people with their work. I don't want to start conflict. You do.

You don't know when to back down. You don't know when you've gone too far. And not once have you considered stopping for a moment and thinking about precisely why our peers might seem to hate you so much.

I hope you're not hurting yourself anymore. I hope you're kind to your new friends, because they deserve better than what I had. I hope that you continue to grow up. I hope once you leave our school, you manage to change into someone I'd want to be friends with again.

I wish you'd stop coming up to me and acting like we're still on friendly terms. I dread seeing your face, but you expect me to smile at you like I always have done and consider us to be on good terms.

I hate myself sometimes because of you. It feels like I can't do anything right, and like I haven't been able to in years. I wish I could be as happy as I was before you ruined everything.

Thank you, @dear-ex-person. Sorry for rambling in your asks.

never apologize, this is beautiful

I was Born, But...

This film made me realize how badly I want for people to make more silent films, or to recreate the aesthetic of a silent film. There is something so entertaining about every single scene being overdramatized by the orchestra. When it came to the film itself and the contents of its story, I would be lying if I said that I wasn't constantly laughing throughout. Despite this movie being made in a different country almost a century ago, I was still able to form a deep connection to the characters and the themes within the over-arching story - the troubles kids may face when moving to a new neighborhood and the various ways one may be deemed as important. Me and my roommates were constantly laughing throughout the movie, as watching the boys skip school, form little "gangs", and perform a hunger strike, was reminiscent of the times when were that young and naive - before we were fully able to understand that there was a world outside of our small social spheres and before we could comprehend that status within the real world is more than then who could fight the best or who has the coolest dad. One scene I found interesting was the scene in which one of the boys was showing off how his father could take out his teeth. In the real world, having this ability would give no one any status and, in fact, would most likely cause for most people to down on his father as he doesn't have the means to properly take care of his teeth. However, to the boys, this is something to be bragged about, as it is something that not every dad can do. This contrast in world view shows up again later when the boys go to watch the home movie. The two new kids become upset as their father as they have recently gained a high social status within their "gang" yet their father was constantly bowing to Taro's father. The two new boys are not able to comprehend why their father is subservient to Taro's father and become upset with him - throwing the same type of tantrums we used to when we were a child. It is this contrasting world view, that I think truly makes this story relatable, as we can remember the time we had the same line of thinking that the children do and thus we can emphasize with the children, yet as the adults we understand the adult's point of view as well. Thanks to this relatability, stories like this one are able to connect to others from despite being from different times and places.

FINAL ATTEMPT AT PROPAGANDA BC I AM ABOUT TO CRY: FULL RUNDOWNS(OR ATTEMPTS) OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL SHIPS DYNAMICS AND THE FRIENDSHIPS INBETWEEN. BC J RLY DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND I AM ABOUT TO RESORT TO HATING STAR WARS WHICH DOES NOT FARE WELL FOR MY INDEPTH PNF STAR WARS AU UNIVERSE EXPANSION

ONE: CANDEREMY. THIS ONE IS LIKE. THE OPPOSITE OF A RAREPAIR UNFORTUNATELY BUT ITS THE ONLY ONE THATS REALLY "POPULAR" AND ITS STILL SO UNDERRATED AND MISINTERPRETED SO OFTEN I WANT TO ATTACK SOMEONE ABOUT IT. THEY ARE SO SWEET AND SO NEUROTIC AND NEITHER OF THEM RLY KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING BUT THEYRE COMMUNICATING SO WELL AND DOING SO GOOD AND THEY R SO SOFT AND SWEET

ALSO I THINK ITS VERY FUNNY THAT LIKE. W EVERY OTHER CHARACTER HES EITHER BESTIES W OR IMMEDIATELY CHILL. EXCEPT FOR VANESSA. THEIR ONLY CANON INTERACTION IS VANESSA FLIRTING WITH HIM, HIM NOT RLY GETTING IT, AND HER NOT CARING BC HE DOESN'T PLAY DARKER STUFF. WHICH LEADS OT THE FUNNIEST FUCKING DYNAMIC FOR A WHILE OF "NEITHER OF US ARE EVEN VAGUELY ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER AND ESPECIALLY IN RETROSPECT IT WAS SO AWKWARD BUT WE'RE BOTH DATING CANDACE SO WE GOTTA FIGURE IT OUT SOONER OR LATE"

TWO: CANDACY. THE FRIENDS TO LOVERS DYNAMIC EVER. THE DEFINITION OF THAT ONE "SOMEONE IS PINING BUT RESIGNED TO NOT HAVING THEM ONLY FOR THE OTHER PERSON TO REALIZE "OH SHIT THIS IS ROMANTIC ATTRACTION"" ITS LIKE. THE DEFINITION OF THIS IMAGE

THEYVE BEEN BEST FRIENDS AS LONG AS THEY CAN REMEMBER THEY'VE HAD A MILLION STUPID JOKING FIGHTS BUT THEY NEVER FAIL TO FALL BACK INTO EACH OTHERS ARMS AT THE END THEY CARE SO FUCKIN MUCH ABOUT EACH OTHER AND ARE REALLY FUNNY ABOUT SHOWING IT

REGARDLESS OF IF THEY'RE TECHNICALLY MEMBERS OF THE POLYCULE OR EVEN THE ONES SHE KNOWS, STACY CAN AND WILL DRAG THEM INTO ANYTHING. SHE PROBABLY DID A TWO PERSON SEVEN ACT PLAY W NEAL ONCE WHERE NEITHER OF THEM KNEW THE SCRIPT ITS THAT OR SECRET AGENT STUFF. THE ONE EXCEPTION TO THIS IS FRED, WHO DRAGS HER INTO MORE INSANE STUFF BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T WANT TO BE EMBARRASSED BY DOING IT ON HER OWN AND SHE WASN'T ASKING ANYONE SHE REALLY KNEW ONLY FOR STACY TO BE LIKE HER NEW BEST FRIEND. FRED PROBABLY RECORDS HER RAMBLINGS TO LISTEN TO AT NIGHT BOTH FOR WHITE NOISE TO HELP HER SLEEP AND SO SHE DOESN'T HURT STACY'S FEELINGS BY NOT REMEMBERING ANYTHING ITS VERY SWEET.

THREE: CANDESSA. FAIR WARNING I DO DESPISE FANON CANDESSA BUT I WILL KILL OVER CANON CANDESSA. SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES FOR ONE ANOTHER TWICE, ARE COSMIC PARALLELS IN A BOTH SONG AND ORIGINAL GOAL(WITH THE DISTINCTION OF VANESSA STOPPING MUCH FASTER), "IRONIC" LOVE OF THE SAME KIDS SHOW, WATCHING EACH OTHERS TASTE JUST CAUSE, THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF KNOWING BUT NOT REALLY KNOWING PERRY, AND THEIR SECOND DIMENSION SELVES HAVE SOMETHING™ GOING ON FR.

THIS REAL BASICALLY. ALSO VANESSAS IN BASICALLY THE SAME PLACE AS JEREMY WHERE LIKE. SHES COOL W EVERYONE BUT VERY AWKWARD W JEREMY AT FIRST. ALSO HER AND NEAL HAVE TEA MEETUPS WHERE THEY DESPERATELY TRY TO FIGURE OUT THE DR ZONE TIMELINE TOGETHER.

FOUR: STANESSA. THE FANON DYNAMIC EVER. THEY ARE IN SO MUCH SAPPHICNESS IT HURTS. HANDSHAKE EMOJI ON SO MANY LEVELS. 90% OF THE TIME THEY ARE JUST CHILLING AND CHATTING AND THE OTHER 10% THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR THEIR LIVES FEELING WISE. STACY THINKS VANESSA IS THE MOST COMPETENT PERSON ALIVE BECAUSE SHE CAN SHOOT A NON-PLUNGER HARPOON AND VANESSA THINKS STACY IS THE COOLEST PERSON ALIVE BECAUSE SHE DOESNT FIND THE SAW MOVIES TOO BRUTAL. THEY LEAN ON EACH OTHER BUT NEITHER OF THEM REALLY KNOW HOW TO STAND SO IT ONLY WORKS OUT SO WELL RIGHT AWAY BC OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT AND SUPPORT RLY BUT THEY GET THE HANG OF IT REALLY QUICKLY

OK ILL CONTINUE LATER BUT PLS PLS IM DISTRAUGHT RN

Rants!

Rochi: there are literally 19 fics for this ship, all but 3 written by the same person, and the characters have never even been mentioned in the same sentence, let alone met. neither of them have any lines, we don't know what one looks like and we only know he exists because of like 2 fact files you can find scattered around the game. but holy shit if the dynamic ive deluded myself into thinking they have isnt DELECTABLE

Duckylove: A HYPERSPECIFIC POLYCULE BETWEEN MOST OF THE TEENAGERS IN THE DWAMPYVERSE CAST. TECHNICALLY THE BASIS IS IN THE PHINEAS AND FERB CAST, WITH CANDACE DATING JEREMY, STACY, AND VANESSA, BUT IT COMPLICATES FROM THERE. I USUALLY HAVE STACY AND VANESSA DATING EACH OTHER, ALONG WITH STACY DATING COLTRANE AND VANESSA DATING MONTY. MONTY CAN ALSO BE DATING CARL IT DEPENDS. FROM THERE THERES THE MILO MURPHY'S LAW CAST, WITH SARA DATING CANDACE AND VANESSA, ALONG WITH NEAL. THE HAMSTER AND GRETEL CAST INCLUSION IS KEVIN DATING HIROMI, WHOS DATING STACY AND SARA AS WELL. FRED AND JENNY (AND A BUNCHA THE OTHER TEENS BUT LESS FULLY AS THESE TWO) ARE ALSO THERE BUT FRED AND JENNY ARE AROACE SO THEY JUST KINDA EXIST THERE.

Kesett: Ok so the ship started as something random @ironhoshi and @fettupwithyou came up with but then more people started to hear about it and it became an actual ship. The whole idea was because people realized Boba and Cal are about the same age and Boba is a bounty hunter and Cal is someone who would probably be wanted by a bunch of people

Becoming Black Widow’s sidekick and just being generally cool…

Avengers (mostly Natasha) x Teen!Male Reader (platonic)

Warnings: superhero violence, reader was raised as an assasin so being taught violence and such from a young age, minor angst

Summary: On a mission in France Natasha discovers a boy and they form a close bond… Btw your French cause that’s like the second coolest kind of assasin (Or atleast if Widowmaker is anything to go by)

(A/N: I based the reader on a commercial for the singer Aaliyah’s music being released on streaming services and downloaded giphy just to make the top gif)

(A/N 2: This takes place between Age of Ultron and Civil war.)

——

Natasha and the other Avengers were currently located in France. They were traking down an evil organisation that operated there.

She took down the enemy agents right and left, it wasn’t very hard as they weren’t very skilled but what she didn’t know was that someone was hidden in the shadows prepared to attack.

”Nat, have you secured the 13th floor?” Steve asked over the comms. ”Everythings clear over here” she said making you smirk inside your helmet, so you jumped out of your hiding place behind her and kicked her in the back which knocked her to the floor.

”I should have seen that coming” she said and looked up at the masked face with glowing mint green eyes. She then recieved a kick to the stomach but Natasha did her best not to appear weak by showing signs of pain.

Then came another kick but she was prepared this time and grabbed your leg pulled it to make you lose balance and also fall to the floor. You both then quickly got of the floor and stood eye to eye looking at each other waiting for the other to make the first move.

Now comes the overly complicated fight scene that i don’t have the literary skills to write but you know regular Black Widow fight scene except this time it’s with someone with a similar fighting style. Here are some gif examples.

Black Widow kicked you on the side of the head so hard that it left a big dent in the side of you helmet. So you ripped of the helmet and tossed it aside. Black Widow studied your face for a few seconds and then asked ”How old are you?”.

But you as a result of having shown your face and therefore compromised didn’t answer, instead you used a grappling hook to grapple onto something that could hold your weight. You spared her one more glance and heard the hero say ”Wait!” just as you smashed through the window and started dropping towards what would be your doom if you didn’t have the grappling hook.

When you reached the ground you ran of towards a motorbike and hotwired it, Black Widow had followed you down with her own grappling hook so you started the engine and drove away from the building.

You thought Black Widow had lost your trail so you drove towards a wharehouse owned by the organisation you ”worked” for so you could get some rest before you made your way to another hq.

The wharehouse contained different supplies so you were going to check if they had some first aid kit or something as you had gotten some cuts and bruices from your battle with Black Widow.

You managed to find some medical equipment and started cleaning a cut you had gotten from when you smashed through the window. You then took off your shirt and put some cold water on a rag and tied it around your torso to ease the pain of the bruices.

You turned to get your shirt but noticed it wasn’t where you put it. ”Merde” you said in your native language (Merde basically means shit in french).

”I’ll give it to you kid you have skill” Black Widow said ”But people like us need to make sure we don’t get tracked” she continued and pulled a small tracker of the back of your shirt.

”What do you want?” You said bitterly and Natasha immediately noted the french accent. ”I wanted to ask you some questions” confessed Black Widow.

”Listen, i don’t know anything about (*insert secret evil organisation name*) or their buisiness, all i-” you informed but was interupted by her.

”I don’t want to know about them i want to know about you, how did someone so young end up as… this?” She told you in a almost saddend voice. ”I don’t know that either, all i can remember is my training, i’ve never had anything else”

”What was your training like?” she asked in a way as if she was familiar with what your training might have been like. ”Martial arts, acrobatics, tech, ballet, most things they’d consider useful and i get the feeling you know what those kind of things are” You explained. Black Widow didn’t answer but you knew you were at least somewhat right.

It was silent for a while but she then answered ”Yes i do know those things”, she then continued, ”You know anything at all about your parents?” she asked to which you simply shook her head.

”Do you know anything about yourself or your past at all?” she asked but you didn’t answer so Natasha assumed she’d hit a spot. After staying silent for a while you spoke up saying ”All i have is this” and you showed her your wrist which had been tattoed with a letter and two numbers.

”B-0-1” she read out loud, she let out a small chuckle and said ”It kinda looks like they wrote boi, you know boy spelled b-o-i”. Which managed to get a small smile out of you too and you said ”Yea-Yeah, i get it”.

”Nat, where are you?” Natasha heard Steve ask in her earpiece, she didn’t wanna tell Steve her location until the two of you were finished. ”Can’t talk right but everythings fine” she said and then looked back at you noticing that you had grabbed the closest sharpest object you could find incase she had revealed her current location.

”Don’t worry their not gonna come” she said making you lower the sharp object slightly. ”What are you doing after this?” Black Widow asked curiously. ”What i always do, go back” you answered simply.

”Is that what you want?” she questioned. ”Dosen’t matter what i want, it’s what i’m supposed to do, also it’s not like i have other options” you answered rather simply yet again. ”What if i gave you another option?” Black Widow offred.

”Which would be?” you asked in an exhausted voice as if she was about to say something completely ridiculous. ”You could come with me and i could give you a home” she said which made you stare at her. ”I could do my best to try to give you the life that they took from you” she continued. ”Would you want that?” She asked.

You took a moment to think this through, even though you didn’t wanna go back to (*insert secret evil organisation name*) it was all you’ve ever known but here a total stranger you just met is giving you a chance of a better life.

You thought about the organisation, they’d never shown any sort of consideration for you for thirteen years and here this unknown woman comes and has shown more interest in your well-being in one single conversation.

”Are you sure, i can come with you?” you asked.

”Yes” she answered.

”What if they come after me?”

”Then i’ll stop them”

You then stood up and ripped off the rag you’d wrapped around your torso and put on your shirt again. ”Okay, let’s go” you said which made Natasha smile, she then used her comm to contact Steve.

”Steve, we have an extra passenger” she said to him. ”A prisoner?” he asked. ”No a teenager, tell Tony to get an extra room at the compound ready” Natasha explained.

”Wha-” Steve started but was interupted by Natasha hanging up. The two of you left the wharehouse and went towards the motorbike to take it back to the others.

”I’m Natasha, by the way” she revealed to the younger boy.

”I’m Y/n”

[dark-elf-writes]

I’d like to propose DadOboro introducing his son to his best friends and little fanboy Izuku’s reaction while Inko takes pictures of her baby makings all the hero hearts melt.

… and if you go with the usual They/Them Mic and Izuku, that’s baby Izuku’s gender realization. They they can… do that?!?

Are you in my head? I think you’re in my head.

But for real you know Oboro has been telling Izuku stories about his hero friends since they met. Like, Izuku knows everything about them and honestly they’ve all creeped up into his top ten favorite heroes just because of their proximity to Oboro who is probably the coolest thing since All Might himself okay? So when Oboro plops down on the couch next to him one day and asks if Izuku comfortable meeting them Izuku damn near explodes in excitement.

The first ones to arrive are the Iida brothers which is not shocking considering the closest Tenya has ever gotten to a tantrum is when the train broke down and nearly made him late to daycare. Izuku is so scared at first because yeah he knows Oboro’s friends are cool but he is also very aware about how kids their age react to the whole quirkless thing. But this is Oboro’s family, the man said so himself, so Izuku does what he always does when he thinks, just maybe, he could have a friend.

He asks Tenya about his favorite hero.

By the time the others arrive, Tensei is beet red and possibly trying to smother Oboro who won’t stop laughing and both kids are gushing over how cool he is as Ingenium, and the three of them know that this if going to be their future maybe for the rest of their lives and they are definitely okay with that.

Izuku loves Nem, asks her so many questions about how her quirk works even as he mentions that his mom and Oboro won’t let him watch a lot of videos about her because they say he’s too young. He just thinks she’s so cool and did she really stop a bank robbery by putting all the villains asleep the other day? And how awesome is it that’s he has a quirk that can help with hostage situations without anyone getting hurt.

Shouta, god, Shouta is very clearly A Favorite(tm). They all expected it of course, the man fights basically quirkless and is living proof that Izuku can do exactly what he’s always wanted to do and become a hero against the odds. Izuku is more than a little pouty that there’s so little information about his hero persona on the internet but Oboro has answered so many of his questions except for what happens if Shouta looks in a mirror with Erasure in because he was laughing too hard and please won’t you tell me?

And then Hizashi. Izuku has heard Oboro use they/them pronouns for Hizashi, has slotted it into the information they have stockpiled in their mind about Present Mic so they don’t accidentally use the wrong pronoun but meeting them? Seeing their hair and the mustache and the dress they’re wearing? Realizing for the first time that there’s more than two options and it’s not actually weird that he’s never felt comfortable as a boy? Knowing that if they asked Oboro and his friends and Inko would all change what pronouns they use for Izuku without even blinking?

There’s not so much of a gender crisis that night as a gender revelation. It’s like the they’ve been sitting in a dark room for years and then someone finally turned on the light.

(And, watching how Oboro’s friends interact with each other, how Tenya interacts with Izuku, Izuku starts to realize that maybe they never knew what friendship really was. Maybe a certain boy with blood red eyes and cruelty in his smile was never Izuku’s friend at all.)

how did law enforcement lent randall out like put him in restraint or something on him like if there multiple firebreathers exist than surely there are other monsters that turn invisible too

chet being a mole was interesting i hope he get better friends

good to know that skylar and chompy work for monsters inc now

i like that tylor grow in this mostly to due to him needed to learn that you know a kid as a kid than a energy source i guess it the lessons monster need to know as well

val and tylor sharing a card remind that card that mike and sully share i think that a neat detail

also i need more detective duncan maybe an episode where he try to find randall

one last thing i want a another season man i love these characters

my overall thoughts while i did enjoy season 1 this season is a vast improvement the stakes where higher not stuck to monsters inc tylor actually was a bit more likeable pretty funny and having a nice contusion while still being left for more seasons

my thoughts on monsters at season 2 ep 1-5

episode 1

i like that we see Tylor family more and just be outside of monster inc more

it nice that val hang out tylor family

tylor why are you complaining to a child also i love that kid was "dude i'm like 6 and i have coloring to in the morning" i hope tylor doesn't have kids

i grad fritz, cutter and duncan are still around i was kinda worried their forgotten

clair what happened to brock did johnny kill him probably not

i was kinda surprise jack and jill were conjoin honestly

idk man i like johnny and clair kids okay there funny

nice parallels man

episode 2

i like roger man he to care more about mift than tylor

good to know how the monsters world treats alternative fuel bad

does anyone else think the guy in the hamster wheel is one of tylor old design kinda what they did back in season 1

honestly if a kid screams and laughter in a giant can make a big explosive and in mu a group of adults could cause a disrupt power in make me think that mixing adults screams and laughter will be nuclear

episode 3

i can't tell if johnny is being stupid and smart while talking to tylor probably the latter

i can't believe this show is woke or something/ joking honestly i find it funny that the reason there at the restaurant tylor is at is cultural appropriation than the place being closed or something

why are so many songs about screams

good job cutting back on the soda fritz also sorry for not getting promote duncan

i can't tylor left his deceased grandfather suit in the closet

roze why are you kissing the waiter did something happend between you and gary did they break up are they i open relationship would they fake dating just to get mike under skin

oh sully i don't think johnny change at all

episode 4

wow fear co is really big

god i love joy so much her design remind me of dragapult from pokemon

chet bubby i don't think johnny love you man

like the chat between rosie and tylor like yeah not everyone can a jokster i guess

i how val or just more to monsters inc treating the kids as kids then a energy source also val could make parent honestly

episode 5

sick burn sully

apparently, you can’t ask the moonwood mill townies questions that prompt special answers once they join your household. so, i decided to grab all of lou’s responses from the string table :) i’m gonna post them here for future reference and in case anyone else wants to see what he says!

"Kristopher's a pretty cool Werewolf to have taken in everyone he has. Of course, he didn't take me in... so he kind of missed taking in the coolest wolf, but hey, he does an adequate job."

"I love me some PowerSip MIDNIGHT! I'm glad they're always fighting the legal battles to make their next big flavor. Who wouldn't want to taste MIDNIGHT? Seriously, they must have some spellcaster brewers making the stuff. How else do you harness the essence of night?"

"So I've snatched a few things over the years. A future cube, a few paintings, some children's toys—which I donated, so don't look at me like that! The best thing I ever took was a piano. Don't ask me how I did it. That's a secret."

"How did I end up in Moonwood Mill? Well, I stole a few things I probably shouldn't have, and I was on the run. I figured nobody would find me way out here in the middle of the wilderness. Guess I was right."

"Who doesn't want to be an immortal wolf? I hear you need to be pretty powerful to pull it off. Don't worry, I'll get there soon."

"Not sure how I feel about the concept of fated mates. Like, ONE Werewolf? FOREVER?? That's a lot of commitment."

"So I asked Celene out on a date, yeah. We were going for a walk over that bridge, when I heard a helpless kid or something crying for help. I'm a pretty nice guy, so I was like, ‘Hey Celene, we gotta go help the kid.’ We braved going past those signs and all that, and we ran into Greg. Well, I had to try and protect Celene. She was pretty scared! So I ran up to him and suggested Greg leave us alone. No taunting or anything, just a stern suggestion. He didn't take kindly to that, and well... here we are. That's the truth of it all!"

"I'm not sure I like the idea of Vampires. I guess most Werewolves don't... Spellcasters on the other hand? They sound pretty cool. I'd get together with one."

"Greg is kind of a problem. We all know it. I don't know why he came here in the first place if he doesn't want to join a pack and live like the rest of us."

"The Moonwood Collective isn't really my scene. They're too into nature. Have you seen them leaning on that old tree? No fire anywhere? BORING."

"Rory was a lone Alpha until I joined her pack. It just felt right to me. We're a good fit as a pack and I like how she encourages me to explore being a Werewolf."

"Who knows if I'd take a cure or not. I mean, right now? No. My pack is pretty cool. I'm still figuring out everything I can do. Why would I want to give that up?"

"Yeah, okay, I'll admit that I feel kind of bad about what happened to Celene. I know she was pretty traumatized by it all. She, well... we were both pretty scared. I don't know, I don't think I want to talk about it, even with you."

"When you're the new wolf on the block, you'll notice that you certainly have less control than the others. Give it time, it gets better."

"I'm always getting asked why I didn't take the antidote after our encounter, like Celene did. Well, I figured I was strong enough to ride it out. It was just a small bite! I guess I was wrong... "

"Just because I'm all about embracing the inner beast doesn't mean I'm opposed to someone seeking a cure. Be true to you. That's what's important. Just don't try to make me take it!"

"If I wasn't a Werewolf, I think I'd want to be a Mermaid. Surprised? Eh, don't be. They also have a connection to the moon, you know? With the tides and all that. Did you know mermaids can stay out of the water longer during a Full Moon?"
