#girl the way he is looking at rak is killing me

Tongrak falling for Mahasamut all over again

[babyangelsky]

My Favorite Expressions in Love Sea Ep. 7

On a personal level this week has been a very mixed bag but I know that if nothing else got me, this show got me. It's gonna come in clutch for me every time, spider bites and potential hauntings be damned.

I. Love. It. Here.

Will I ever not take psychic damage from the expression Tongrak makes when Mahasamut tells him that he cares about him? The answer is no. It's wonderful and devastating every time.

"How would you rate me out of 10?" Mahasamut asks while Tongrak's face plots teasing and mischief.

Opening a safe shouldn't look so much like staring down the gallows but here we are. Not being able to see how Tongrak's hands were shaking in a screenshot is a blessing.

The panic and terror on this man's face when he saw the read receipt on his phone is something I never want to see again. My hatred for Rak's piece of shit sperm donor is murderous and profound. How actually fucking dare he put this look on his child's face I'm going to kill him with my bare hands.

Peat's acting is so genuinely good that it hurts me. Tongrak was trembling so much that he was struggling to put the phone away and when he gets back to his room, he practically tries to crawl into Mahasamut's skin to hide and feel safe. Look at him, he looks so tiny and scared and I want to cry.

Let us take a break from the sad with this supremely horny shot of Mook unzipping Vivi's dress. Everyone say thank you.

And pour one out for our girl, as is now a weekly custom. Vivi my girly is dying CONFESS TO HER AND MAKE OUT ABOUT IT.

"I'm not going to the event! >:(" Yes you are, mi alma, look at your face when Mook threatens to quit.

Not pictured: One (1) resigned sigh

The grumpiest kitten in the whole venue.

Tongrak: *complaining* Mahasamut: *heart eyes*

My favorite moment of the face journey Tongrak goes on when he realizes just how good Mahasamut looks and that he will be Perceived and decides to mess up his hair about it. The grumpy kitten is a jealous jellyfish.

It's the fact that Tongrak looks surprised that his fans like his books and have consumed his entire body of work. I'M GOING TO SOB.

The smile is polite and professional but the eyes are sparkly. He genuinely enjoys interacting with his fans.

The proud husband smile means everything to me.

THE LOOK OF ABSOLUTE LOATHING AND DISGUST! INCREDIBLE PHENOMENAL OUTSTANDING.

IF YA'LL THINK I'M NOT GONNA MAKE A SEPARATE POST ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MAN YOU'RE SO FUCKING WRONG

If I have to have this demonic nasty hell witch on my screen, at least I get to watch her face make this expression after Tongrak calls her out for imitating him because he got it right on the money and she knows it.

Tongrak and the visceral hatred in his eyes said play me another waltz I'm tired of dancing to this one.

God love you, but you look so tired.

This entire scene was more brutal to watch than the fight outside of Tongrak's house. It was obvious that something more was going on from how calmly he was speaking and how non-responsive he became toward the end of it, but look at his hands. Look at how tightly they're clenched. Maintaining his composure while Prin stuck that knife in his wounds and twisted it as viciously as she could cost him, and it would be obvious even if we hadn't already seen them fight.

Tongrak, you're my fighter. He still looks tired because he is, but he also looks like the imperious ice prince he's had to be to survive. Then the utterly dismissive way he turns and walks out and cuts eye contact?

We can barely see Nouel's smile but it's so clearly saying "bruh that's cringe".

He's not just my fighter. He's Mahasamut's fighter, too.

Do ya'll remember how Tongrak was acting when he first brought Mahasamut to live with him and Vivi was teasing him?

Look how far they've come.

I can't quite articulate how, but the way they look at each other has changed, and I don't just mean because they're being lovey in front of Vivi and Mook. There's this undercurrent of sweetness that wasn't there before, even in private. That scene way back in episode 3 where Tongrak told Mahasamut to ask him to stay on the island which had so much softness and fondness to it did not have that same something that's now present.

I'm gonna leave ya'll with that and then go take more screenshots so I can properly scream about Mahasamut. And let me know if you wanna be tagged in these weekly writeups!

When you get this you have to answer with 5 of your fav songs and then tag your mutuals to do the same :) (no pressure <3)

Tagged by @chickenstrangers @twig-tea @thegalwhorants - thanks y'all ☺️ please never stop tagging me in music games, I love discovering and sharing music <3

I'm cheating here but a lot of my fav songs are OSTs so to not give myself a headache give the rest a fighting chance, I'm gonna choose 5 favs, excluding OSTs, and 5 only-OST favs!

ดาวหางฮัลเลย์ - fellow fellow

/daao haang Halley/

This song has not released me from its clutches since I first heard it during the musical portion of the ZeeNuNew concert last year. I love the lyrics and the vibes so so much. 🥹

ติดฝน - PiXXiE

/dtit fon/

I. LOVE. THESE. GIRLS! They're so talented! I legit struggled with which song of theirs to choose but I'm most obsessed with this one these days and, recently, I keep hearing people I follow sing it or play it as background music. Case in point: Keng Harit, Domundi gen 3, singing it on an IG live.

ฉันมันเป็นคนแบบนี้ - Boom Saharat

/chan man bpen khohn baaep nee/

The weirdest thing happened: I was listening to NuNew's cover of this song (listen- I'm aware I discover a lot of songs through him but he IS my favorite performer dsjshdhhs) and got real confused because I was able to sing along right away but cannot for the life of me recall how I knew this song already! I hadn't seen the MV, no one I follow seems to have covered it, and I didn't know the artist at all?? It remains a mystery to me but I've played it endlessly since then. New Thitipoom stars in the MV btw!

ต่อจากนี้เพลงรักทุกเพลงจะเป็นของเธอเท่านั้น - No One Else

/dtaaw jaak nee phleng rak thook phleng ja bpen khaawng ter thao nan/

I don't remember how I originally found it but it's one of those songs that routinely has me singing along. The title translates to 'From now on every love song will be yours'. I love the lyrics a lot!

Complicated - MATCHA

This is one of many songs and artists I discovered on that one afternoon-turned-evening-turned-night when I decided to start tracking down every song Amp Achariya has had a hand in (I then realized I was in over my head and that she'd worked on so. many. more. than I ever expected and that my spreadsheet skills weren't sufficient to catalog them lol). Needless to say, Matcha is incredibly talented and I've so far only scratched the surface of her discography.

Onto 5 of my fav OSTs!

ร้อยฤดูหนาว - Pond, Phuwin

/raawy reu duu naao/

I love the way this song builds with the instruments coming in one after another. I love their voices. I love the lyrics. This song was written by ณกมล ปุคคละนันท์ aka PEPPERY P who penned a lot of the My School President songs - อีกนิด (Come Closer), รักษา (Healing), พูดได้ไหม (Let Me Tell You), ก้อนหินกับดวงดาว (Rock&Star), and รักคู่ขนาน (Multi-Love). Yes, I am in fact sneakily rec'ing the MSP OST here too lol

คือเธอ - Zee, NuNew

/kheuu ter/

I could've chosen so many songs among the Cutie Pie OSTs but ended up deciding on this one because P'Pin truly wrote this song to highlight both their vocal talents and it shows. ✨️ He works a lot with Domundi artists (especially ZeeNuNew) and FreenBecky, writing songs and OSTs for them and arranging songs for them for concerts - his IG is full of song insights and singing snippets if you like any of these artists!

ภาพสุดท้าย - William Jakrapatr

/phaap sut thaai/

Do I even need to explain? It's an Amp Achariya song, the lyrics are beautiful, the meaning within the show is so !! and this LYKN boy right here kills it with his performance. 👏

แค่เธอ - Jeff Satur

/khaae ter/

I'm not a KP girlie and this song wasn't even on my radar when I watched the show. I kinda rediscovered it a few months later, most likely either by going through Jeff's discography or maybe through Joong Archen singing it on an IG live (I realize it must look like I sit and watch a shit ton of IG lives but the honest truth is that I don't even use IG, I just stumble upon clips on twt and YT a lot lol). And boy howdy did Jeff's writing strike a chord! Don't get me wrong, the English version is nice too and all but it doesn't come close to the Thai lyrics and how well they flow with the melody, Jeff really outdid himself there!

คู่คอง - Kong Huayrai

/khuu khaawng/

นาคี is not a drama I've seen and, yes, I again know this song through a NuNew cover lol but I really wanted to make sure to include a ลูกทุ่ง (Luk Thung) song because I love this genre. This song is extra special because the lyrics are in Isan, which is a Northeastern Thai dialect (though it's actually far closer to Lao than Central Thai). I routinely get this song stuck in my head.

/end of Thai music ramble

I'm sure I'm late to the party again so if you've been tagged already, please kindly ignore this or point me towards your post. ✨️ Tagging @raktae @sunshinechay @btwinlines @zimmbzon @airenyah @rocketturtle4 @telomeke and whoever sees this and wants in on the fun~

Ella watching Love Sea episode 2

Okay, so yesterday, the second episode of Love Sea aired, and I am watching it today, and rambling about it. If you want to read my rambles, feel free to continue reading the post below ♥

Also, this time i'll try to be shorter than last time, so there will be only one post for the episode and less images, but hope it's good enough.

Starting the episode with direct continuation of the last one and the moment Mut and Rak are off the boat and on the beach. Rak is still pouting and grumpy, which is very understandable considering how scared he looked (and there's probably a story about that reaction that's likely deeper than just fear of not being able to get off the boat since he's in the middle of the ocean) when Mut jumped in the water and Rak didn't know where Mut was.

Right now, both Mut and Rak are being stubborn - Rak to push Mut away and Mut to get Rak to forgive him. Something tells me that it'll take more than the fresh clamps, though they do look quite fresh and delicious.

Peat's expressions here, his portrayal of Rak is so damn good. The way he wants to accept, but also fights it and looks at Mut annoyed is chef's kiss.

Here are some pictures of the beach scene that happened as Rak accepted the piece of clamp meat in his mouth. Gosh the expressions are making me go feral! *screams internally*

The almost kiss had me squeal out loud. Honestly! Like I didn't expect it to happen so soon (not that it did, but it's clear they both wanted to)

And yet, Rak still seems convinced it won't happen again. (what am i willing to bet it will happen...)

The scene with girls is so good. Mook is still a nervous mess because of Vi, and that is honestly such a mood. And Vi is still so manipulative. (and they're both so prettyyyyyyyyyyyyyy)

it suddenly feels very hot in the room (or is it just them??)

"I won't take you to bed" "This isn't bed" (bites her lip to not scream some more)

It will never happen again, huh?

Such amazing kissing scene - so much chemistry, heat and desire - i love this.

There's no screenshots because the scene simply needed to be watched - not screenshots time XD

I can't wait for Mut to find out that Rak gets sex and romantic scene inspiration from actually experiencing them -> this confusion would make so much more sense in that case.

I love that they used Peat's photos for google search about Rak. It just fits.

Tha amazing amazing manipulations from Vi, and the sweet innocence from Mook -> those make quite a dangerous and delicious combination. And I have no doubt Vi just loves the attention she gets from Mook. And who could blame her? Mook is so cute.

Another moment when the room feels so damn hot. Gosh, they are so hot! Rak watching Mut in shower, and then making first move! MAKING FIRST MOVE!!! Ahhhh

That lip bite is so aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

THE MARKS! GOSH, THE MARKS!! Mut is quite a biter, isn't he

I have a feeling Vi will make anything she can to keep Mook there in her room. Just a feeling.

Mook ranting how Vi is keeping her from going home and Vi is just nodding along and looking at Mook like Mook's the most adorable. (she so is, Vi's not wrong)

The conversation between Palm and Mut is very interesting, especially the bets part. And of course Mut is certain Rak won't be interested.

Rak is quite possessive, truly quite possessive. I love that so much!!! so so much!! The way he just walks up to Mut and the girls and leans in to kiss Mut on the cheek (i haven't gotten the angle for that particular screenshot, so bear with these two)

"He's mine" - why don't you just kill me now??

The look Rak gives to girls on the table is so aaaaaaaaaaaaa

And Mut is so not complaining about this

Ohhhh, I love a bike ride scene!!

I agree with Mut, Rak is really adorable!!

Of course Palm caught them! Why am I not surprised?

I love the little not-date Mut and Rak are on.

Poor Mut, kicked out of house at 15. I'm curious about what happened to cause that... Though, I really admire the way he's so hard-working and the way he managed to get as far as he has.

Ohhh, they're going diving! Sounds fun (for them exclusively, i could never go diving myself)

Rak's backstory is absolutely making me cry.

I am so thankful Mut got there in time. So thankful

Poor poor poor Rak - i want to give him big big hug.

And that concludes me watching this episode and rambling about it. I have to admit that this episode pulled all the feels out of me - first my brain was brrr-ing for NC scenes, and then I got all soft for ViMook, and then I cried. Such amazing episode, pulling my heartstrings like that.

Love Sea Episode 2 Thoughts

Okay. I just got home. Saw a strange little movie but it was soooo good. It needs to win awards for the sound mixing because it was brilliant. But I digress. Now I’m gonna go from a movie that made me shed 3 whole tears (impressive if you know me) to Love Sea. But I was promised that this week is at least…fine. Anyway, as always, liveblog under the cut:

Why was I logged out of IQIYI? Very confused why it wasn’t working but figured it out. I’m too tired for this honestly.

Okay just had a fight IQIYI for sound. Anyway, I’m gonna need a nap immediately after watching this.

Note to self: never go from a movie with quite literally some of the best sound mixing I’ve ever heard to BL. Especially MAME. Just don’t do it. It’s not fair to the show. That said, this is hurting my ears.

I was distracted by the god awful audio and wasn’t paying attention. I beg your pardon hWAT

We went from some extremes here. Didn’t you just think he was drowning and you were mad at him for that? Rightfully so? Horny boys….

The way I would not eat that clam. Mostly because my body has informed me that legally I cannot but also because I would be so pissed at having someone’s hand in front of my face.

Save Mook. Save her. Was Vie just…staring out her peephole for 30 minutes watching her? Like some sort of creep? Girl why? I hate how hot you are. Be a better person.

Is this…consensual? In a MAME show? Am I dreaming?

But also boys. Boys. The sand. Boys the sand. At least lay down a towel first or something.

He’s gonna write about this isn’t he?

Brings new meaning to post nut clarity. Cured his writer’s block…for now.

Can you hear my laughter at Mut being so confused why Rak is now writing? “Am I losing my touch?” As much as I would love you to have your ego bruised, I think you actually rocked his world so hard you helped him in more ways than one. Alas. It’s always the characters I hate that the show makes good in bed.

Oh look at all of Rak’s works. Look at our successful boy.

Save Mook. Kill Vie. What’s wrong with her? Just say you want to spend time with her. Don’t disparage yourself and make her your own personal slave I hate you.

I have now seen more ass than I wished to see today. Thank you Love Sea but also no thank you. Also jerkin it in the shower. Will Rak join him? Only time will tell! he did

I have seen…so much...tongue…in just one episode.

Honestly it’s a damn shame the sound mixing is so bad. I’m not actually hating this episode. Strange. But I need it to stop assaulting my ears.

BL boys stop opening condoms with their mouth challenge 2k24.

BAHASDHGKSJHDGKJHSDG give the translators a raise actually

Vie keep your lips to yourself. That was…gross. A reward would have been not making Mook do all of that work. Not…that. I hate it here. Imagine if the GL didn’t suck. Imagine that.

Why is Mook excited by that? Girl. You need friends. Friends would help you get a backbone. And also tell you what just happened is not okay.

Helmets? HELMETS? In my BL? I can’t believe my eyes.

I will keep my thoughts about the scene in which Rak talks about being a writer to myself. My thoughts are between me and god. And also anyone who asks. But you gotta ask for em.

Now IQIYI. I can’t read that. I have many skills but reading Thai is not one of them.

Did that man just jump into the water…on his own…specifically after having a problem with Mut doing that? I get it’s a different situation but my guy. MY GUY. There is no water safety in the show and I’m gonna lose my mind.

And this is why you don’t DIVE ALONE. I am losing it. Absolutely losing it.

Sure wish I knew what those texts said right about now.

I did not hate this episode. I did not hate them. I am…confused. Baffled even. I do think perhaps one scene in particular was a bit…no. I shan’t say. But just know that I am correct in my thoughts. I might actually be kind of looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully it doesn’t assault my ears dear god.

damn the heavens

Author’s note: This is my gift for @tog-secret-santa​! (This is my first time participating in an event for a fandom, and it’s been really fun, so thank you to the mods!!!) This gift is for @pi-a-ia​ (who’s art is amazing, go check it out!!). I tried incorporating all of your wishes in this fic, so I hope you like it! [Contains spoilers for the anime and anyone who hasn’t caught up to chapter 193 (Season 2, Ep. 113) of the manhwa.] Fandom: Tower of God (Read the Webtoon here!) Pairing: Khun Aguero Agnis/The Twenty-Fifth Baam

Summary: After the end of the Workshop Battle, Baam stares at the sky. Khun may not have the courage to chase the stars, but maybe he can carve Baam a path of light to reach them.

Gif credits to @edo-taichou​.

THE WINNING TEAM OF THE WORKSHOP BATTLE IS: TEAM SWEET & SOUR

There’s silence for one short moment. Then, an explosion of cheers.

Khun breathes a sigh of relief.

Finally, everything’s back as it should be.

—

There’s celebrations. Drinking, yelling, partying— Khun doesn’t really care for any of it. And from the looks of how he can hardly keep his eyes open, Baam doesn’t either.

“Baam, let’s go get some rest.” Baam blinks a few times at the proposal, likely not used to being called by that name again yet, but gives Khun a soft, grateful smile. “Okay,” he agrees simply, “please ask Rak-ssi too. He must be tired too.”

Khun clicks his tongue and rolls his eyes exaggeratedly at the mention of the gator, and it’s worth it for the bright peal of laughter it pulls from Baam. He agrees with a nod as Baam makes his way to their room.

They spread out a few blankets on the floor and gather three pillows to rest their heads. It’s makeshift and shabby, nothing like FUG’s luxury beds and the expensive bedsheets Khun can afford, and everyone’s still celebrating loudly in the other room.

All three of them are fast asleep in minutes.

—

When Baam wakes up, it’s to loud snoring and a heavy weight on his chest.

He blinks at the ceiling a few times before sitting up, gently sliding the still-snoring Rak off of his chest.

I… made it back.

He steals a glance at Khun wrapped up in his blanket. The way they both sleep suits them: Rak is splayed out and snoring open and carefree, Khun is turned away and closed into his blanket. Both of his hands are hidden under it as he holds the pillow under his head— does he still sleep with a knife in hand? His hair doesn’t look as disheveled as it should after sleeping for so long, so he must not have moved very much, which makes it possible that he does.

That... Baam feels a little twinge in his chest at that. What had Khun’s life been, before they met and these years they’d been apart, to make him so afraid? Suddenly, he wants to... Baam can’t really tell, but reach out, maybe, make Khun feel safe and happy— and wow, when did Khun get so close? Baam jerks his head back, pulling his hand from where it was about to land in Khun’s soft blue hair. Khun needs his rest, Baam decides, and he doesn’t want to wake him up.

He steps outside softly, checking his Pocket as he leans on the balcony and looks up at the false sky. He has a message from Endorsi that reads: Meet me at the gate by 2 PM. If you don’t, I’ll kill you.

Baam just laughs.

—

Shibisu and Wangnan drag everyone into the main room to play drinking games. Khun’s about to make his escape like the last time, but is dragged into it anyway when Baam asks him to stay, since it’s the last night before Shibisu’s team leaves for the next floor. That bastard knows what he’s doing right now, Khun realizes quickly: his eyes are shining with mirth after intentionally making a show of asking him to stay and play with them.

Khun sighs in defeat, sitting next to Baam on the floor in the crooked circle everyone’s formed. Baam gives him a bright, guileless smile and Khun suddenly has a very personal understanding of how much his own snark must irritate people (this, however, does nothing to curb how much he’ll be using it in the future). Khun’s not a fan of alcohol or getting drunk in general, and if he remembers right, Baam is a terrible lightweight. It doesn’t take much sleight of hand to swap the nearest bottle for a non-alcoholic substitute from Khun’s lighthouse.

Baam takes a sip and gives Khun a curious look, and Khun leans into him and whispers, “If I’m going to get dragged into this, I might as well get some good blackmail.” 

Baam giggles and nods at him in agreement when Wangnan interrupts loudly, “Viole! Khun! You want to share what’s so funny with the rest of us?”

Baam blushes down to his neck and violently shakes his head, and Khun takes the bottle from him to take a swig from it before answering, “I don’t know, have you managed to pick a game for us to play or did you gather us all here just to watch you argue until we all get drunk?” Wangnan deflates quickly and Baam has to quickly hide a snicker (“Seriously, Viole?!”) before Shibisu snarks back, “Do you have one to suggest then?” “Unlike you, I spend my time doing useful things, not drinking myself silly.” “He totally just can’t think of one,” Prince interjects with a sneer. Hatz adds, “Earrings is just too much of a coward to admit that he doesn’t have any friends to drink with.” “You want to say that to me again, Hara-kiri?” “Do your stupid earrings keep you from hearing me properly?” “If you want me to kick your ass that badly, you can just ask.” “Can’t you two just drop this for one night?”

They eventually agree on Truth or Dare, and while Khun does get the blackmail he was looking for, he (along with Goseng and Baam) gets stuck with the job of ferrying people back to their rooms for the night so that they don’t just stay passed out on the floor of the main room (at Baam’s request). Baam laughs at Khun grumbling as he’s stuffing a snoozing Endorsi in his lighthouse, and Khun delights in Baam’s yelp as he hops onto the side of his Blue Shield without warning, causing him to almost drop Prince and Ehwa. 

Khun has to admit, this was a lot of fun.

—

Baam asks Khun to help him cut his hair. Khun agrees. 

As Khun takes his long hair in hand, Baam sheepishly apologizes for not following Khun’s advice for talking proper care of his hair. It pulls a shocked laugh from Khun; he hadn’t remembered giving him that lecture at all until now, and he waves away the apology. 

“I’m sure you have plenty of good excuses,” he reassures, “but I’ll be holding you to it from now on.”

Baam smiles brightly, nodding so vigorously that Khun has to remind him to keep his head still and then stifle a laugh at his embarrassment. Baam’s hair smells like blood and screams and tears and loneliness, eight years too much of it to ever be washed out, and when Khun cuts off everything below his neck all in one go, Baam heaves a sigh of relief, one Khun guesses is the first in years.

After it’s done, Baam looks up at the false sky.

—

A month. It’s been a month since the workshop battle ended.

Baam came back to the us. We passed the test without any problems, and earned the right to go up to the next floor. Everything seems to have worked out well, but in fact, this is only the beginning. Emily disappeared from the Archimedes. Where could she be now and what is Cassano planning to do with her? And most importantly… where is FUG? They tried to set me up.

Apple, Micheal,… …and Rachel.

“I want to hear more stories about… what the Outside of the Tower is like.”

I won’t let them get away with this. Even if Baam tries to stop me, I will get her.

—

Baam’s late to the meeting Hwaryun scheduled. Khun teases him lightly about it, but Ehwa tells him later that she found him looking up at the false sky, some nonsense about a fairy tale someone told him about the sky.

“You must be glad,” Hwaryun taunts him, “Now, you have more time to find Rachel.” Khun only turns his head enough to meet her eyes.

“Did you think I wouldn’t know that you’re making a team to find Rachel, behind Viole’s back? The reason why you calmly accepted my suggestion was that you thought it would be a burden to go up the Tower with Viole right now, right?”

“You are trying to kill the girl who used to be your best friend’s everything. If Viole finds out, how will he act towards you?”

He makes an agreement to meet in a year at Train City, a smile plastered on his face. He hides his teeth, because the backs of them taste like lies. That’s to be expected: he’s been cut and carved from lies— he learned how to make and break trust before learning how to keep it, to hide the truth with locks and traps and smoke and screens until it damn well doesn’t exist anymore.

When he offers his hand to shake, it’s a calculated risk: he may be made of lies, but people trust you more if you seem non threatening and vulnerable. As Khun shakes his hand, he keeps his other hand in his pocket to keep the decks of cards he has hidden up his sleeve from slipping.

They fall anyway, because of course they do.

They always have, whenever Baam’s involved.

—

Khun feels his skin crawl restlessly like a billion tiny sweetfish swimming through all of his cells, only getting more intense with each step he takes towards his room. He looks out of the open hallway at the false sky, Hwaryun’s taunts coming to mind, and he’s filled with rage so white-hot and primal that it almost surprises him.

Baam’s still chasing after Rachel, he’s known that — he didn’t even need Baam to tell him to know that because he understands, he understands that Baam’s doing what he never did. Hwaryun’s probably allowing it because it gives her an excuse to force him to grow stronger for whatever purpose FUG needs Baam to fulfill, and she was right, he needed the extra time in order to—

She’d called him Viole, she’d called Baam her god. Khun’s almost as disgusted at her as he is at himself, but he’s never claimed not to be a hypocritical asshole.  

Khun knows that there’s forces much greater than him at play here; he’s made that mistake once: he’d believed that any floor test was simple enough to plan and slash his way through, he’d believed the Tower and all of its gods were small enough to contain in his hands.

He doesn’t care. He’d like to not ever have to hear that shit again.

False kings, false gods, false stars lighting up false skies — Khun’s sick of all of it.

—

Before they leave the Wolhaiksong resort that night, Baam checks his inventory to make sure he has everything he needs. He finds three large books he’s never seen before. They have similar fancy leather covers with elegantly minimalistic yet intricate engraving. They look like they’re very old, older than he can even imagine, he realizes on a closer look, since they look like that after being preserved with Shinsu. Out of curiosity, he opens one to a random page.

He’s faced with charts and diagrams of great clouds of light, explanations too dense for him to make sense of at the moment, but there’s lots of blue annotations in a handwriting that looks very familiar for one he’s never seen before. He opens the others to other random pages and finds that they’re all the same way, filled with the same familiar annotations in all kinds of colors, contrasting the old black print of the books. Baam realizes in awe that the books are about stars, pages and pages full of skies and stars, and they’re real.

”Stars are just a legend. Even if you go up, the only thing you’ll reach is this floor’s roof. That blue sky is created by shinsu, and the bright thing at night is just a light ball. I heard there are stars in the Outside world, but they don’t exist, at least, not here in the Tower.”

He can feel shock pricking at his eyes, and looks again at the covers of the book for a title, a name, anything—

and feels tears run down his face.

Tower Of God/Percy Jackson Headcanons

So I just remembered how much I love Percy Jackson and I couldn't help myself so these are some imagines of the Tower Of God characters in that universe. It's anime friendly and I will probably make more for characters in the manga. I'm sorry if this don't work with what you had in mind, it's just what I thought worked best.

This might turn into a fanfiction at some point if anyone wants that.

Bam

- son of Hades;

- he was brought to life (the same way Hazel was in the books);

- he spent most of his life as an orphan;

- Rachel, a girl found him and took care of him but later abandoned him when they were attacked by a group of monsters;

- the last things words she told Bam were ”I’m sorry Bam but they promised me to take me see the stars”;

- Bam doesn’t know who they are but he begged for her to stay;

- she didn’t even flinch when the monsters hurt him, leaving him alone and not even looking back;

- he was found badly injured and bloody at the point of almost being dead by a group of demigods (Khun, Rak, Endorsi and Shibisu) that rescued him and brought him to the camp;

- nobody knew who he was and the fact that Bam didn't remeber anything from his past apart from waking up a very dark alley of New York didn’t help;

- when Hades claims him as his son, everyone starts to see him as a threat but as soon as the campers get to know him, it's clear the boy is nothing to be afraid of;

- yet;

- he is a very good fighter but also a very loyal ally which always makes the people from the camp want him in their team every time they play capture the flag or do team combat training;

- despite being the son of the god of death, he is a cheerful person which always shocks people when they learn about his godly parentage;

- everyone likes Bam and gets friendly with him but he chooses to stay with his group that he considers family;

- the only guy Khun tolerates which is very surprising;

Khun

- son of Athena, nobody is surprised about that;

- this guy is the greatest strategist the camp ever had and Gods forbid to ever play against him in any event;

- when he first came to the camp, his arrogance made everyone believe he was the son of one of the big three (Zeus was the most popular guess);

- nobody knows if him being the son of Athena is making him more or less of a threat;

- he is more of a loner so he spends time studying or training;

- that doesn't stop Shibisu from constantly dragging him to come and eat with him and their group;

- his family is still alive but he doesn't get along with his father and siblings which resulted of him running away from home;

- nobody really knows how he got to the camp as he is one of the oldest demigods there;

- nobody understands how ray-of-sunshine-Bam gets to be friends of murderous-this-guy-could probably-kill-you-if-you-pissed-him-of-Khun;

- “Khun totally has a thing for the newcomer”

Rak

- son of Ares;

- "why does he always call people turtles?";

- is best at fighting with a spear;

- at first everyone was scared of him because he looked strong and scary but soon everyone learned he has a very big heart;

- he is also one of the oldest campers, having arrived short after Khun did;

- counselor of the cabin;

- if someone bullies you, Rak will fight them;

- insists to be called the leader of the team but always ends up being ordered around by Khun;

- when Bam arrives, he keeps telling Bam when he gets stronger, he will hunt him;

- it's just his way of saying he admires the boy;

- him Khun and Bam make an unbeatable trio;

Endorsi

- daughter of Aphrodite, no surprise there;

- it doesn't matter how beautiful she is, this girl could beat up any child of Ares if they messed up her hair;

- the whole cabin is both afraid and impressed by her skill;

- she always complains about how the combat training keeps ruining her clothes;

- she refuses to wear the orange shirt which looks "atrocious";

- nobody can do anything about that;

- she came to the camp a few years ago with Anak, another half blood;

- from that day forward they acted like sisters although they still fight a lot;

- she loves Anak and if anyone hurts her, they will end up with their head cut off;

- nobody knows about her past but they guess it's not a pretty story;

Anak

- daughter of Ares;

- beats up people constantly;

- although Endorsi keeps trying to protect her she can fight on her own very good;

- she would never say it out loud but she appreciates Endorsi caring for her;

- sword fighting is in her blood but she excels at pretty much any weapon;

- not the best during team training as she hates people giving her orders;

- no one dared approach her except Shibisu and Hats, another resident of the Ares cabin that acknowledged her power;

- her past is as much of a mystery as Endorsi's;

Shibisu

- son of Hermes;

- counselor of the cabin;

- this guy is a genius and could probably outsmart a good deal of the kids from cabin 6 (although he could never win against Khun);

- not that good at fighting but a great strategist;

- if you get to be his friend he's the guy that will sneak food for you if you are hungry;

- "where the hell did you even get that?";

- a very good leader and would grant his team a win almost every single time;

- except when he is fighting with Khun;

- he swears one day he will beat that guy;

- also he loves him and constantly tries to make him part of the group as he knows Khun is lonely;

- practically adopted Bam the first time he saw him;

- his family is fine and he visits his mum every time summer’s over;

[step-on-me-khun]

thank you so much!!! Can I request where the girl is always with the main trio, and when they went to the cage and she saw doom, she was all like 😳🥰😩 fuck he's hot. And Khun literally have to pull her away from talking to him cause of course doom's about to kill her. So after the fiasco, she began showering doom with love and affection. and her friends are all like: 🤦‍♂️ you can decide on how to end it (possibly a date after the nest) 😌 I'm sorry if this is too specific or doesn't make sense. I just wanna read something with doom 👉👈

You would normally keep your distance from the other when they were in a fight, not wanting to make the situation worse, you would wait for the fight to end before meeting back up with them. 

You were standing beside Khun, looking at Doom, the brother of Yama, and damn, you couldn't take your eyes off of him.

Baam had mentioned that he had a curse on him, not like that was going to stop you from staring at him. You fought he was ridiculously good looking, you just wanted to get a better look at him. 

You moved slight away from Khun and Rak, small steps, just to get away, and stare at that particular person.

“Oh no, you don’t,” Khun says, grabbing your elbow.

You try to wriggle your way free, but that just encouraged Khun to tighten his grip. 

“Ow, okay, I get it.” You say, realizing how bad the situation was. You frown, “I just wanted to get a better look at him.” You explain. 

“You’re like a little kid,” Khun says. 

“Nothing wrong with wanting to know about something, especially when it looks like that.” 

“You’re stupid for wanting to do that now.”

You shrug your shoulders. But you knew that he was right. 

You took interest in what Baam was doing, paying attention when he had broken that curse on Doom. 

You were going to meet him, even if it were to kill you. 

You ran up to Baam, who had just finished explaining things to Doom.

“(Y/N), is something wrong?” Baam asks. 

“Hmm? Oh, no, everything’s fine.” You reply, looking at him then looking at Doom. 

Maybe waiting had been worth it, now you had seen him, and you weren’t going to let him get away that easily. You wanted to know what this guy was like, and any leaving wouldn’t be acceptable to you. 

I had trouble ending this. if you want me to expand the end let me know, it might take a while but, yeah, I’ll do it.

Tower of god S2 301-310

Urek mazino is always a fuck boi even in an incomplete form.

Ah the schadenfreude when Rachel was revealed !!!

The bam and jahad fight is awesome , the art is outstanding and bam using his power really shows his development ( and all of his shonen power ups).

Hansung is the king of industrial drinks , he even convinced edhan with a grape juice.

Khun really speaks the thoughts of the people. I wouldn't mind if Rachel died.

Endorsi called the weird snake thing her father. Interesting.

Oh rak and khun combined attack !! The best teammates.

Clearly is bam destiny to kill jahad not only because he is a despot but also for how he enslaved others.

Remember that a few recaps ago I said I was working up to Rachel. Forget it ! Bitch trying to kill khun !!!! I hope she ends up dead ! That face she makes when she gloats , I want to kick it.

Both Rachel and jahad are an evil blonde , do I sense a theme ( not Hansung fellow coffee lovers must be protected).

Bam with horns + the red thyssa + the thorn+ shinsu+ some other power I'm probably forgetting.

A bit anticlimactic the way Jahad ended the fight after the big showdown. Bit I guess we have bigger fights ahead in the actual tower.

Lil mazino having just his name and not the full tattoo on his back.

Ah of course Rachel wants a glow up. It was weird because as a girl she is actually a good villain ( terrible and not in a sexy way) I don't want her to look like a SAO character. Her actual design isn't ugly at least for me.

Ooh actual real jahad ! Now that is real arrogance , I see how the bracelet data giving Bam a new power up could be dangerous.

Edhan and jahad data teaming up. Now I have feelings , I hope we get a flashback of the original adventure some day.

Edhan is a cheating womanizer , no wonder he has so many descendants. His bickering with jahad is lovely.

Oh my God wangnam new sword. He has to kill somebody now , and that feels like a future problem.

Hansung practically declares himself to batis at the time of their death.

Oh Rachel gets the bracelet , I've been thinking about how her destiny and bam are mixed. Is as if she fights bam for the right of being the " choosen one " to kill jahad for lack of a better term.

Damn those jahads orders. I'm growing find of fake light yagami aka poe bidau , so I want his family to survive.

All that talk about administration and authorities , does the tower have a separation of powers ?. The law student in me is now intrigued.

Rachel didn't change thank God. It seems like she doesn't know about the bracelet in the stingray.

Oh damn a war is approaching. Jinsung is my favorite I don't want him hurt. He looks like bam when he delivers his speech.

Khun is comatose noon! But al least bam has stopped any delusion he had about Rachel. That vengeance face , he is going to make her pay !!

utakata hanabi. - ch 1/2

characters: khun, bam, rak, shibisu pairing: khunbam series: tower of god / kami no tou ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/24567637/chapters/59331619

based off siu’s blog post from s2 ch298 with rak khun bam lighting sparklers. included: quite a few of my headcanons for khun’s character development/thought process throughout the series, shibisu wingmanning, and rak comprehending more than we think.

super cheesy since it’s set on the floor of tests, before bam knows michelle light is rachel. no webtoon spoilers for this chapter.

“Shibisu, what are you holding?”

“Ah, these? They’re sparklers.” Shibisu held the box up with a grin, giving it a little shake. “Have you really never seen these before? But they’re so much fun!”

“No, I haven’t.” Bam eyed the box curiously, tilting his head as he wondered what they could possibly be used for. “‘Sparklers’...? Do you eat them?”

“Huh? No!” Shibisu looked at Bam incredulously, before barking out a laugh. “Maaaaan, you really don’t know about sparklers? You’re missing out!”

“What do they do? Can you tell me?”

“...” Rather than giving Bam the information he wanted, Shibisu grinned wide, and tossed the box of sparklers his way. “Why don’t you ask Khun to show you?”

With the object of interest in his possession, Bam turned the box over in his hands carefully, examining its sides. It seemed they were sticks… that lit up? Was that it? Why would Khun be interested in something like this?

Heading off to find him, Bam didn’t notice the knowing smile Shibisu was wearing as he watched him leave.

---

“What? Sparklers?” Khun furrowed his brows. “Isu gave you them?”

“He told me to ask you how to use them… will you?”

“Ah.” Everything clicked into place at once with that small piece of information, and Khun practically deadpanned. “Isu… that bastard.”

What did he think he was doing, trying to set him up like this? Out of all the regulars that were present on the floor of tests, Khun felt Shibisu was the guy he had to watch out for the most.

He knew things about Khun no one else was aware of just from observing him. Maybe he should plan to kill him sometime.

“Is that a no…? Maybe I should go give them back.”

“Bam—wait a second.” Khun extended a hand, grabbing Bam’s shoulder just as he turned to leave. Was he really about to do this?

One look at Bam’s eyes told him everything he needed to know.

“I’ll show you, okay, Bam? So don’t give them back to Isu.” Letting go of Bam’s shoulder, he smirked. “Meet me by the exit when it gets dark out, send me a message over your pocket. But it’s our secret. Don’t tell anyone else.”

“Okay--!” Bam’s lips stretched into a wide smile, and, Khun, finding his happiness absolutely contagious, felt the corners of his lips tug too. “I can’t wait!”

If it meant he could see more of Bam when he was enjoying himself, then maybe this wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

---

From Bam: Khun, I’m here!

Khun peeked around the corner he was hiding in towards where Bam stood by the door to the “outside”. Of course, he had gotten there first (and well before Bam), but it wasn’t like he was going to let him know that.

He watched his teammate look around, presumably for him, and seemingly nervous.

Really... what an interesting guy, he thought to himself. How could someone who came into possession of the Black March before the floor of tests be so meek? He was chasing after some girl who Khun guessed didn’t want him around with such conviction despite having zero battle sense or intent to kill. What did he expect to accomplish, coming into the tower like this? Even just standing around doing nothing and Bam seemed like he was out of place.

He really couldn’t leave him alone. Every time he reassessed his goals, Khun found himself sinking more and more into this idea that he just had to climb the tower with him.

“Yo, Bam.” Coming out of his hiding spot, Khun rounded the corner, a hand held up in greeting as he smirked.

“Khun!” Bam’s face lit up in a bright grin, and Khun’s own expression softened at the sight.

“Have you been waiting long?”

“No, not at all!”

“That’s good to hear.” Walking over to Bam, he gently grabbed his wrist and gave it a tug. “Let’s go.”

“EHEM.”

Khun stopped in his tracks and scowled, the door to the outside partially held open with his foot. Of course this guy just had to get in his way...

“Where do you turtles think you’re going without your leader?!”

“Rak?!” Bam stared at Rak, eyes wide with surprise, while Khun just palmed his face with his free hand, exasperated.

“You stupid crocodile!” Khun snapped at the third of their ‘trio’, rounding on him with what was almost a pout. “What are you doing here? Go to sleep!”  

“I saw the black turtle go somewhere suspicious. As I thought, you’re trying to do something without me! I’m coming too!”

“Ugh. And who said you could join in, huh?!”

“Khun, why don’t we let him come…?” Khun glanced back towards Bam, who was looking at him with almost pleading eyes.

“Bam…”

The two exchanged a look—Bam, silently conveying his intent on including their friend, and Khun, who already knew what he had to do, but didn’t want to do it.

In the end, he just couldn’t say no.

“Fine.” Khun sighed, wondering if Rak’s interference was planned by Shibisu, too.

---

“Ready, Bam? You light them like this.” Khun clicked his lighter and brought the flame towards the end of the stick. Sparks flew everywhere, a couple even tickling his arm, and through the muted light of the firework, Khun could tell right away that Bam was captivated by the sight.

“Wow…! It’s like there’s stars coming from it!” He exclaimed giddily, watching the sparkler slowly burn. “But, doesn’t it hurt you? It seems like some of the flames are touching your arm, Khun.”

“Oh, that? I guess you can feel it a little bit, but not by much.” Khun glanced around for Rak idly, wanting to pass the sparkler off so he could light a new one for Bam to hold. “Hey, you crocodile. Want to hold it? You can have the first one, since you’re the leader.”

“Of course I am!” Rak snatched the sparkler up in an instant, and started waving it around wildly. “What is this thing, blue turtle?! It’s on fire!”

“You’re going to break your arm swinging it around like that. Cut it out.” Khun ignored Rak’s question, opting to let the lizard figure it out for himself.

“It looks so pretty when you wave it, though…” Bam murmured, watching the trail the sparkler left as it soared through the air. Rather than watching the sparkler, too, Khun was gazing at Bam’s expression.

“Bam. Do you want to try?” Khun held out a sparkler with a grin.

“Ah, okay! Yes!”

“You hold it like this. It’s the end that won’t burn, okay? When the sparkler is done, it’ll stop up here.” As he explained, Khun placed the stick into Bam’s hands accordingly, and pointed out the bottom of the actual ‘firework’ part. “I’m going to light it now.”

With a click of his lighter, Bam’s face was lit up by the soft glow of his own glittering flames. Now that he was the one holding the firework, Khun watched the sparkles dancing in the reflection in his eyes.

“You were right, Khun! It doesn’t hurt at all.” Bam stared at the sparkler in his hands with glee.

“Try waving it, Bam.”

Flicking his wrist, he swirled the sparkler around in the air in tiny circles, laughing at the sight. Khun couldn’t help but chuckle along with him.

“Fun, isn’t it?”

“Yeah, it is! It’s almost like…” Bam’s expression softened, and he looked up to the ‘night’ sky, his smile becoming slightly forlorn. “Like stars…”

Khun watched him silently for a minute, taking in the shift in his mood. He was well aware of who was on Bam’s mind when he became like this. Rather than asking about it, he held his tongue, and also directed his gaze to the fake sky.

The breeze tickled his hair lightly, and for a while, the only sounds there were came from the background noise which always accompanied the tower, and the quiet sizzling of the sparklers. Even Rak was silent, watching the last of his sparkler burn out a little ways away from the two.

“... The lights of the tower are pretty, though.” Khun said simply, crossing his arms. “They’re a lot like stars, in some ways… or so I hear.”

“Rachel knows they’re not the same. I wonder what they look like, for her to want to see them so badly.”

“Who knows. That’s only a question she can answer.” Khun turned back to him, his face solemn. “I wouldn’t think too hard about it, Bam. You’re on separate paths right now.”

“... I want to find her. And catch up to her so I can climb the tower with her.”

“Even though she threw you away?” Khun murmured. How could he have so much devotion for a girl who chose the tower over him, and didn’t even bring him along when he wanted to stay by her side?

He’d never had that much loyalty for anyone in his life.

“She must have her reasons.” Bam insisted. “I won’t know until I find her and ask.”

“Hmmm…” Khun hummed, his eyes narrowing in thought. It was strange, he realized. Through being around Bam, he felt like he was exposed to a much wider range of emotions than he was used to. Normally he just went through the motions day to day, not really striving towards anything except achieving his greater, long-term goals with his usual underhanded ways. With Bam, though…

At this moment, he felt envious. Concerned. Eager. Curious. Khun both wanted what Bam had, while not wanting it whatsoever. The ability to follow your heart no matter what life threw at you… it was such a rare and precious trait, especially when it came to the types of people who tested their fate by climbing the tower.

Why couldn’t he be that way, too? What would have changed if he had that same outlook in the past?

And yet, he was also worried about Bam’s loyalty coming full circle to burn himself in the end. Khun was disowned from his family in a similar way. The notion of the same thing happening to Bam, someone who was so selfishly selfless, didn’t make him feel good at all.

He had too many questions. About Bam, about this tower, about his family, about himself —maybe if he followed this guy for just a bit longer, he might figure something out for once.

“—Khun?”

Khun blinked, glancing over to Bam—except, it was too dark to see him. The sparklers had long sizzled out, and he had been so wrapped in his thoughts that he hadn’t noticed.

Crap. He really was acting strange lately.

“Shouldn’t we head inside? It’s getting late.” Bam suggested, glancing back in the direction of their rooms.

“Yeah… where’s—” Khun, in the middle of asking where Rak was, peered around in the dark and caught the crocodile’s eyes. He cut himself off, watching Rak warily—though it was difficult to see without much light, the look he was being given coupled with the lizard’s unusual silence gave him a bad feeling.

“What are you looking at, crocodile…?”

“Hmph.” Rak merely huffed, before starting off ahead of them towards their dorms. “You still have a long way to go, blue turtle.”

“Huh—?! Why you—!” As he was about to storm after Rak, Khun paused when he felt a light tug on his sleeve. He threw a glance back to the source, his tension easing as Bam came into view.

“Thanks for showing me the sparklers, Khun. I had a lot of fun.” Bam smiled innocently, and a dangerous line of thought seeded into Khun’s mind—which he attempted to shut down immediately. (Was this how Bam looked at Rachel? At the one person in his life he cared so much for?)

“Bam…”

“I hope we can do it again sometime! I’m glad that we became teammates, Khun.” With a final flash of his grin, Bam trailed off after the crocodile, leaving Khun staring dumbly at his retreating back in the dark.

This guy—no. That was wrong, to refer to him in such an impersonal way. At this point, Bam meant too much to him for Khun to keep treating him like he wasn’t involved in his life. Bam was either going to become Khun’s demise, or a brand new beginning.

Either way, he looked forward to watching it all unfold. He was too curious.

Tarot ToG

@khunfounded and @p0l-anka /Thank you for the tag!/ 

So, here is what I’m going to do. xD I answered all the questions as briefly as I can. If any of ya’ll want me to expand on any of them, then send me the name of the card. 

The Fool: What was your initial reaction to ToG? Did you start with the manhwa or the anime?

Ooh, initial reaction was...grateful. :’)

I started with the manhwa.

The Magician: What power/skill would you want to have for yourself?

Intelligence and/or healing.

Non-Regular: Hwaryun

Irregular: Rachel

The Empress: Who’s your best girl?

Miseng, Anna, and Yuri.

The Emperor: Who’s your best boy?

Vicente, Bam, Khun, and Shibisu. Rak is not a boy, he is Rak Wraithraiser. 

The Hierophant: Who is your favorite baddie?

Hwaryun. The fact that she’s not really a baddie says a lot about me lol.

The Lovers: What is your favorite ship?

*looks at my icon of Khun/Bam* *looks at my banner that has Khun/Bam* Uh. Chocolate/Rak/Banana OT3.

The Chariot: What was your favorite battle scene or “holy shit” moment?

Data!Viole vs Bam.

Bam finally letting go of Rachel after she attempted to kill Khun.

Strength: Who do you think is the strongest character? Whether that’s physically, emotionally, intellectually, etc

Give me a character and I’ll tell you why they are strong.

The Hermit: What have you found yourself relating to most when watching/reading ToG?

Rachel’s personality. Not as mine but of the ones she reminds me of.

Elaine’s situation.

The Wheel of Fortune: What are some of your favorite plot twists or getting Khun-ed scenes?

Crown game. 

Justice: What’s your view on the war in ToG? If your not there yet, what’s your opinion on the Rachel pushing Bam scene?

War in ToG: Can we...just have a beach scene already...

The Hanged Man: How long have you been in the fandom?

4 years.

Death: What was a scene or person that made you bawl (on the inside or outside)?

I made a list and it ended up being three paragraphs, so just give me a scene and I’ll tell you how I felt about it. xD

Temperance: What is your favorite team or platonic ship?

Fave team + platonic ship: Rakhunbam

The Devil: What is your guilty pleasure or problematic fave?

The Tower: What was the moment that rocked your world or got you fully invested in ToG?

Rocked my world: The fkkn hug ^ tm.

Fully invested: Bam being betrayed by Rachel at the end of S01.

The Star: What was a moment that made you soft?

Khun saying he’d do what Daniel did if it meant bringing Bam back. Believe it or not, it took me 250 chapters to ship Bam and Khun lol.

Bam reaching out his hand to Khun, asking his best friend to climb the tower with him. 

The Moon: What is your favorite headcanon?

“Blue turtle is the banana peel and black turtle is the banana.  Blue turtle protects black turtle and keeps him from getting eaten while black turtle keeps blue turtle from being a useless, annoying banana peel that makes people slip on the floor.” - Rak

The gay levels of Khun/Bam are off the fkkn charts off-panel, which is why SIU NEVER LETS US SEE THEM. OTL

The Sun: What are some predictions you have?

They’re actually climbing deeper into the tower rather than climbing to the top.

Rachel kept Bam from climbing out of the cave. One method she used was through telling Bam that he was not ‘chosen’.

The children outside the tower--if that really is the ‘outside’--were dead babies that Arlene brought back to life.

The Tower is a virtual world, something like the Matrix maybe, but more like Animal Crossing.

Headon coerced Rachel into doing what she did because it was the best way to keep Bam hidden from Jahad for as long as possible--also, he’s in cahoots with Arlene.

Judgement: What were some incorrect predictions you had?

Maria, apparently, is not a good sister with a heart of gold. I’m still fkkn salty about that.

Bam actually disowned Rachel for real. That...I did not ever think that would happen.

Bam and Khun also actually hugged. I doubted SIU and I apologize for that.

World: How has ToG or the fandom impacted you?

ToG: It has helped me understand the world at large better.

Fandom: Ya’ll have helped me become a more open person.

[that-spider-witch]

Tower of God Episode 3: Live Thoughts

- KHUN’S PAST FLASHBACK! WE GET A FLASHBACK FROM KHUN’S PAST... AND IT’S BOTH OMINOUS AND CONFUSING AS FUCK! Yay?

- Who is this Maria? Also, from what I managed to understand: This “Choosing a girl as a princess for who knows what and those girls that aren’t chosen are exiled along with their families” or something sounds really shady and dystopic. What the fuck happened to my boy?

- ...Or was Khun’s family royalty and this Maria, whoever might be, betrayed him and got the whole family exiled to become the new princess, hence the people saying “They lost the battle”? JUST WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU, MY BOY?

- What happened to Khun’s sister? Is she dead? Is she inside his case somehow, Nezuko’s style? Is she dead and inside the case?

- “The moment we show weakness, we die” “You can only trust yourself” That’s some really shitty advice to give to a child, lady.

- Khun’s mom sounds and looks like she’s either just a poor woman who has gone through the worse shit imaginable or a new participant for the title of Worst Anime Parent Ever™. Heck, she might even be both, complex character writing and what not.

- The sky and the stars are just legends to nearly everyone now, and the sky the characters are seeing is a replica... Oof. Was this world always like this or something horrible happened to make it that way? So many questions!

- “I doubt the real sky actually exists” That line right there sounds really heartbreaking, or maybe that’s just me. 

- Creepy weird rubber man is creepy and I don’t like him. 

- “You don’t need to thank a fluorescent plastic bag” I LOVE THIS BOY SO MUCH!

- “Abandoned son of the Khun family” HUH? So he was abandoned? How and why? What was this betrayal all about and who did it to him? WHO HURT YOU, KHUN? 

- ...Wait, does this means Khun is his family name and not his first name? His sister was calling him Aguero in the flashback, too. 

- Wonder if both Rachel and Maria (Both girls that have only appeared and/or just been mentioned in flashbacks so far) having biblical names is meant to be meaningful or symbolic of something... Or if it’s irrelevant to the story and the author just chose those names because they were pretty. Still, it is a coincidence I wanted to point out.

- Also, I love how Rak was all about throwing hands along with Khun and was disappointed that it didn’t ended in a fight after all. I love you, you dumb alligator.

- It’s probably nothing, but the Director’s design, as well as the other workers of the Tower look like Rachel, as if they were related. Blonde hair and golden eyes... I wonder if it means something.

- Getting vibes from “The Pit and The Pendulum” in how we are not shown exactly what’s inside that golden pit or what exactly happened to the participants that were thrown inside it after falling the test... But we know by the characters’ reactions that it’s absolutely horrible. Not sure if that really makes it scarier than if they had shown us corpses burning in lava or something, but it truly entices the imagination, doesn’t it?

- WAIT, THAT’S MARIA? WASN’T THE WHITE-HAIRED GIRL HIS SISTER? IS MARIA HIS SISTER? WHAT THE FUCK?!

- Maria was his sister and his lover... I need to sit down for a moment. That’s some big oof right there. What the fuck.

-...well, his half-sister, but does that really makes it better? AND HOW OLD WERE THEY WHEN THEY STARTED DOING THAT AND ALL THAT OTHER SHIT HAPPENED, HELLO???

- Khun, Aguero, whatever your first name is I don’t care... You really need some therapy, my poor boy. 

- “Don’t trust anyone” PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE THIS POOR BOY A HUG!

- RAK, YOU STUPID SMART CROCODILE MAN, I LOVE YOU!

- Khun’s reaction is hilarious and makes me want to hug him even more.

- “Don’t you want to protect those eyes, which don’t know doubt?” Even this dude ships them, lol. 

- WHAT’S INSIDE THAT BAG?

- Shibisu, aka the tracksuit guy, is actually smarter than he looks. Can’t say I’m surprised.

- “I hope you get to see the real stars with Rachel” THE FEELS MAN, THE FEELS!

- We get to see Rachel... And she’s busy killing people in a deathmatch like the one on the first episode! Not sure if that’s supposed to be scary or badass, but yeah: This girl a damsel in distress she’s not.

-That one dude who made a group of people fight to the death until only three people remained despite it going against the test rules looks pretty happy and remorseless for what he did, acting like what he did was just like cheating at an exam and just acting worried when he learns that he and his co-workers could end up executed for his actions. I hope he dies.

- I like you, Shibisu. Welcome to the main cast!  Please don’t die.

- What is that banana drink and why does it look like beer? lol

- The chibi Baam wearing the crown while the chibi Khun and Rak defend him has to be the most adorable thing I’ve seen in this anime so far.

- RACHEL, WHY ARE YOU HIDING? This side of the plot is going to be frustrating to watch, huh...

- Anaak is both smol and badass, I stan. She and her partner really should stop dismissing poor Shibisu, tho.

That’s all for this episode. I’m going to need some time to digest everything I just saw...

[Prompts // @koragg1]

13. “I could kiss you right now!”

They communicate mostly through letters at postcards. Rak’ass isn’t the best with his words -- not because he can’t talk or can’t write, fuck what people say about half-orcs -- but he tries his best. He looks up cute poems in the library, he gets really good at sketching flowers that he thinks Keith would like. He even tries his hand at writing a few songs, but it’s probably for the best that he can’t send his voice through paper. 

After Seraphin and Seraphina make enough fun of him for the songs, he stops, but their teasing isn’t enough to make him stop pressing flowers in books and sending them across the continent. 

Sometimes Rak is sad that they’re so far apart, other times he acknowledges that it’s for the best. Keith is having great adventures but his party -- as odd as they are, especially that Pharos fellow -- is his family. Rak, for as close as he feels to Keith despite only knowing him for a week in person, is not family. Not like that at least.

And besides, Rak’s family is with the Liberati. He likes the tower, he likes knowing where he’s sleeping and that he’s only going to be fighting things that can’t talk back. He’s never killed a person before. 

Keith has. That should frighten Rak, the way that such a cheerful and upbeat bard has killed more people than some will ever meet. 

But it doesn’t because Rak’ass remembers the way Keith smiled during the festival, the way he joked with his friends and played his many, many instruments. Keith has only killed people who deserved it, Rak is certain, because Keith is too kind to do anything else. 

So no, Rak isn’t too upset that they’re apart. Not most of the time. That doesn’t stop him from being excited that they’re going to see each other soon.

“You look fine,” Seraphin says. He’s reading on his bed while Rak paces, debating whether he should change his shirt. Or should he go in his armor? If so, he better get changed soon because that’ll take a bit of time and if he wears his armor he’ll want his sword... 

Rak is knocked -- literally -- out of his thoughts when Seraphin throws a pillow at him. 

“Seriously. If you keep worrying about your appearance you’re going to be late,” Seraphin points out. Rak swears, grabs his coat, and runs out of the room. He can hear his friend’s laughter echoing up and down the hall. 

It takes Rak fifteen minutes to dash to the docks and then another ten minutes to look for the space where Keith’s ship is supposed to come in. He gets there right as the ship is approaching, the sails growing larger and larger until they’re not in the distance, they’re close enough to make out the detail -- the rough fabric billowing in the breeze. 

Rak sees Tekoian first, actually. The large dragonborn is just so -- so bright. It’s hard to miss him. But then he keeps looking and he sees Keith. 

His hair is a bit shaggier, his clothes a bit more rumpled. He has different armor and the girl -- Iris? Ira? -- is no longer on his shoulders. But his squirrel is still there and so is his bright, bright smile. Rak finds himself mirroring it on accident, lips stretched wide. 

“Rak’ass,” Keith shouts, voice carrying across the waves. “It’s me!” As if Rak could forget what Keith looks like. There are new scars on Keith’s arms and he leans slightly to one side in a way he didn’t before, but he’s whole and he’s safe and he’s here.

The ship docks and it takes so long, too long, for the gangplank to be lowered. But finally it is and finally Keith is running down it and Rak grabs him around the middle, hugging him tight and spinning him in the air. 

“I could kiss you right now,” Rak murmurs, forehead pressed against Keith’s. 

“Then do.” Keith is smiling. He’s always smiling. And well, Rak can only do one thing.

Tower of God S2ch284 Rough Translations

(sorry, was watching Mahoutsukai no Yome)

Even though everyone else, annoyed at the people from outside, moved // I, alone, stayed behind.

Because, I realized that Zahard had become different from before.

....Different?

That's right, upon meeting with himself from outside, his data changed.

On the outside, he seems the same.. but something.. is different.

It was as if he had come back something completely anew.

Completely... anew...

I don't exactly know how to explain it. // Anyway, I stayed here

Afterwards, this place got divided into two and was ruled by the Big Breeders. // And I crossed over to the mirror world to meet with Zahard.

But

the people I knew weren't there.

...?

The data of all those who went there with Zahard

were deleted.

Aside from the Big Breeders, there were nobody left there.

It's been two days since Koon-ssi met his nemesis.. // But I don't feel any signs of Big Breeder.

I don't know what the nemesis did but their companion won't wake up // and is inside Koon's lighthouse.

And then there's that unusual woman

She healed Koon's injuries yet she can't wake up Miseng, so that's strange.. // Does she have that bracelet because she's Big Breeder's nemesis?

How strange..

.........

...The back of my head hurts..

..What.. you guys, since earlier // don't just look at me like that. If you have something to say, just say it.

That woman was your nemesis!?

(What a load of crap!! Turtle!! I wasn't  even looking at you!!

(Rak-ssi, keep your voice down!!)

Who was she! // Could she be your ex!?

..Why should I tell you that

Uh.. because we might meet her again in the future so we should do some data collection. // You know what they say, you should know your enemies before fighting them? Right, Baam?

Y-Yeah haha

(..You're just curious..)

....... // She

is Khisea. // My younger cousin.

??F Hell Train - Zahard's Data - 01

Younger.. cousin?

Yeah. // Khisea is the child of my mother's younger sibling.

She lost her mother because of the feud between the families // so our mother took her to live with us.

Although we have different parents, we lived together at such a young age

That the three of us were like real siblings.

Khisea admired my sister. // Because she was a prodigy in our clan with the best shot at becoming a princess, with her skills.

But my sister had a pretty bad temper and it was hard to get close to her.

Princess of Zahard...

Ever since I was young, I had to live up to my mother's expectations.

Well, not an expectation on me to achieve something. // but more of an expectation that I would be the tactician that would make my sister a princess

Khisea knew that // and told me she would lend me the strength to make sister into a princess of Zahard.

I accepted because I didn't think I had anything to lose.

At such a young age, Khisea already had excellent skill with the knife // and used that ability to eliminate our sister's rivals.

I don't know about the other families, but that kind of fight was normal in our family.

Then one day, a problem appeared.

Unexpectedly, my sister's greatest rival suddenly appeared.

"Maria"-

And.. she approached me to beat my sister. // She must've thought I know all of my sister's weaknesses.

I accepted her offer. // It's hard to say, but I had a reason for doing that.

In the end, I made my sister fail

and succeeded in making her a Zahard princess.

The shock was too big that my sister gave up her life.

!!

...That's probably why Khisea hates me.

I came into the Tower and thought it was all over but..

If she appeared as a nemesis here // I must have subconscious fears of her finding and killing me

Koon-ssi...

........

Well... That's it. // But-

(It was nothing.)

Androssi, how about telling us about your nemesis too.

?

I heard it from Baam.

Some guy came out from that jewel of yours.

What's this, an interrogation?

I told you everything. // Equivalant Exchange, what comes around goes around

Aaah.. Fine

(Haa--)

Well.. As you know, I had no parents ever since I was born-

and just wandered here and there.

But while wandering around, a couple took me in // They were very ordinary and good Middle Area people

And I was raised as an ordinary girl for a while.

But one day, that guy appeared in front of me.

He looked at me and said I had the talent to become a princess.

He then told me to take the jewel that will carry him with me. // And that he will help me to become a princess-

Of course, I took the jewel home with me.

And that night, he

killed both my parents.

!!

Well, he didn't say directly that he killed them but I'm pretty sure it was him. // He must've thought that they will get in the way of me becoming a princess.

Then, I followed the snake's instructions and became adopted to a poor noble, who was trying to produce a princess.

And there, I eliminated all my other competitors for becoming a Zahard princess // Afterwards, that guy disappeared.

It wasn't until I became a princess that I realized everything happened just as he planned.

..So that means you're now travelling with the person who killed your parents?

........

So what, they weren't my real parents anyway // Besides, if I lived with them, I may have remained an ordinary girl my whole life, you know?

How could a person like me live an ordinary life? That would have been too pitiful.

I don't know what you think // but I'm grateful to him that I can now live as a Zahard princess.

..She's lying

.........

If Androssi-ssi really doesn't hate that snake..

It would have never appeared here as her nemesis..

We've arrived.

?

This is the village in this stage.

Village Golden Dome

Oh.. It looks pretty decent this time.

Yeah..

....!

I feel it.. // There's somebody there..!!

It might be Yura-ssi..!!

Hello, warriors. I am the chief in this place. // I am here to guide you through the quests.

..Be careful, Baam-ssi. This is Big Breeder "Yellow"'s territory.

...What?

Yellow is the leader of all the Big Breeders. Even I haven't seen him/her..

We should first split up and try to find our companions. // We can do the quests after that. I'll follow the village chief for now.

Okay. Let's do that. // Androssi and Rak should move to the highest point in this place.

Haa- Fine.

Um... Baam-ssi, could I possibly have a bit of time for myself here?

?

I want to check something out in this village..

Something you want to check out..?

Yes. It won't take long! // I'll come back right away in the event of a battle.

..Well we can't really stop you // Be careful, though.

Thank you so much!! I'll be back

..........

Then shall we head out too?

It's pretty spacious.

It really is.. // It's much more sophisticated that the villages before.

All I see are robots. There aren't any data around.

...Maybe those guys in the Quarantine Area are related to these guys

(Pika pika)

Who knows.

(Shalla shalla)

Should we split up around here?

Shall we-?

I'll take a look inside the dome

Okay. I'll search outside using my lighthouses

Let me know as soon as anything happens. // Big Breeder might appear.

Yes!

Central Dome

There's no one around..

That looks like the seed from the Quarantine Area.

You are the person who imitated shinwonryu.

?!

A person?! Where did he..?!

You've learned it from the guardian in the Train. // Although it is still very rough.

Did you also open the door and came in? // What did they call it..

An irregular?

(......!!)

Huh!!

What's up? Gator?

I can't believe this..

What is with this incredibly ominous feeling...?!

Who.. are you?

I-

am the one who will be king

King...?!

You mean..!!

Yes. I am the person destined to reign at the top of the Tower. // With crimson three-eyes on the forehead and a fluttering red cloak // The first and greatest adventurer of the Tower.

I am "Zahard".

[raiara-the-ranger]

A sweet gesture;

As the two sat in the salty sailor, getting the feel for one another once more; along with their silly antics of a very long friendship, the ranger had found herself in a spiral once more-Feelings of some sort? Perhaps this is why she kept from him for so long, he reminded her of a childhood friend just had different views... Well somewhat, these two got along so well it was very scary for her.

As Fel Gate leaned back in his chair, his arm still comfortably strung over the back of the chair while his other hand was placed on the table, armored fingertips tapping into the wood in a rhythmic fashion. "Don't know... the time I've known you is just a small  fraction of my life span. Though, a pretty interesting one at that." He looked down at the bar where he saw the goblin getting the drinks prepared on a tray, letting his head drop against his armored shoulder. "How long do you think... ten years or so?" He shrugged his shoulders once more.

The Dark Ranger would hold her palms up and shrug, eyes closing as she did this after his questioning of some sorts." I always lose track of time, not sure if its for the better, or I just have shit luck with memory." smirking light slowly opening her eyes, and side glanced the goblin as he returned with her drinks, she soon gripped them, and slid a mug to him slightly licking her lips." Drink up old man." she mused lifting the mug to her lips and took a swig.

The Bodyguard  canted his head to the side as he caught the sliding mug, gripping its handle. The Fel in his helmet flared at the remark as he rose the mug to his helm. "Old man... I'm only a few thousand years old." As he rose his hand up to his helmet and pushed it up a bit, fel smoke began to blow out of the mask, concealing his features as he took a drink. After lowering his helmet, he looked at her, fel smoke pluming from his mask as he snickered. "Hoping to get a peek?"

She would have  leaned over the table lightly, her attire lightly wrinkling as the plum of smoke had concealed the man's face, sitting back abruptly and unamused she hit a fist to the table now." You are a shit! Yes, after all these years yet no knowledge of what is hidden." her cheeks lightly puffed with the small bit of frustration, though leaning back arm resting against the back of the chair, not acting lady like one bit as she took a few more swigs, blue eyes glaring at him all the man all the while, muttering under her breath."Damn old fart." she muttered into the mug.

The bodyguard  shrugged his shoulders as he rose the mug up to his faceplate once more, pushing it up and releasing the thick plume of smoke to drink. After a few swigs, he'd lower the mug to the table and lean back in his chair, lifting his boots up on the table. "Don't you prefer the mystery?" He snickered as the fel in his mask flared. "I could be the love of your dreams, or the monster in your nightmares behind this helmet... it's all up to you." He began to chuckle, shaking his head slowly.

The Dark Ranger lightly rolled her eyes at this and glanced away, leaning an elbow to the table and looking down from the banister , still unamused, perhaps she should just ask, or her way; forcing it off with a good tackle and a wrestling match for this 'magical' helm of his." Perhaps I just want the helm, to feel like I am just as spooky as you." musing as she waggled her brows and gave him a side glance, the blue eyes clearly looking him over." Eh, the love of my life, may just be the monster." snickering she would finish the mug and adjust herself so she looked right at him, and would sling the mug out to the passing goblin nearly whacking him with it." Refill." her voice was somewhat playful yet still held the demand behind it as it should, as he took it and her hand were free she leaned to the knuckled of them both elbows on the table." So, mystery tall, dark and handsome?" still holding a very amused tone within." Do tell me about yourself." She would muse to him.

 The bodyguard brought his arms up to his head, fingers interlocking as he cupped his head comfortably against them. He leaned back a bit more, as if he was laying on the chair and table with his boots and back. His head pressed against his hands as smoke began to seep out from the grates of his mask, his eyes locking against the swirling trails of smoke as the rose up. The fel in his mask flared as he took notice of her comment, looking at her curiously and if his helmet was off, she'd see a brow risen. "Oh, is that so? The monster?" He snickered, shaking his head, his eyes locking onto the smoke trail once more. As the goblin walked away with the mug, he used his foot to slide his own mug over to here which still had some of his beverage in it. "What do you want to know?"

The Dark Ranger watched with much interest, as the guard relaxed she would only grin further, tempted to knock him over if she was able to do so." Aye, my love is most likely a monster." clearly stating this as she adjusted herself in the seating and shrugged lightly, a small glance away watching the green man go and pick up the beverage and accompanied by another whom just brought a picture, with the two staying here they somewhat got the jist of things and just prefers they not get their ears gripped or conflict with the tall people." Hmm, what do I want to know, well.. You know I love information, so feed it out through that spooky mask of yours." snickering after she spoke eyes still trailing the green ears as they slowly but surely made it to the table placing the mug and pint of ale on the table and wandered off." Though lying, that won't be too fun to decipher, but go ahead." stating as she gripped the mug and took a swig.

The bodyguard began to roll his head in his heads slowly but in a rhythmic motion, the fel in his mask flaring ever so often. "Well.. that you do love information. Guess I could tell you my story but I"m sure it'll only put you to sleep..." He sighed as he watched the goblins walk off, his eyes returning to her. "But I guess I could tell you regardless. I am the High-King of Ironforge, I slew the might beast warrior Kor'grathar in Mok'Gora and acquired this armor." He shrugged. "I'm a martyr for my people, going from land to land, slaying mighty foes as a High-King should do." He crossed his ankles together against the table, looking at her with a wild grin and even though she couldn't see it, the smoke that seeped out easily gave the indication.

The Dark Ranger would adjust herself and scoot out of the chair as he started to even talk 'king' this made her boaster out with laughter, though with how he was sitting she now stood nearly over him, she was indeed going to play now." Oh forgive me my king" her brows flared up and the corners of her lips tugged though suppressed any smile." If I knew it was you, i'd have groveled." though she made no movement in doing so, only got closer, eyes keeping on the helm as if it was a prize." Oh my king, don't fall." she would grip the back of the chair leaning in close and assuring his legs were off the table at least, though didn't dip it too far out of her strength that was. Though in the end, she would drop the chair as he fell to the ground a very proud smirk would form and keep to the rangers lips though in the end he never twitched to catch himself so she would slightly be surprised he made no effort, though yet not." Alright you, cut to the chase." she would now lift a leg and now be straddling over him only to bring herself without holding back sitting upon the man and crossing her arms lightly teetering her head." I know you came to be a guard, but yet you, I don't see you bathe or anything, I start smelling you, there will be so many complaints you know." musing as she leaned forward and rose a brow." What's your specialty?"

The guard didn't make any motions as she moved over him, only letting out a huff as she sat against his abdomen. "You can't expect a ferocious beast to bathe. What do you expect one to smell like after hibernation?" He snickered as he shook his head, shrugging his shoulders the best he could. "Specialty? I could say turning into a roaring bear but if we're going to be real. My specialty is killing. You give me a mark, I kill. Someone threatens you, I kill." He snickered as he let smoke plume from his mask. "I bathe when I have time and there are no eyes watching."

The ranger grinning as she waved away the smoke sitting comfortably upon him, a brow raised." Awwe, ya won't bathe with me around? What a puss." musing she nodded." Good, a good guard you are er, will be.. when something does happen." glancing around she would shrug some." Though I do like the quiet... Its almost like the sayings, the quiet before the storm. I still hope to avoid conflict, so don't go killing the pirates just yet, as for the male whom I had  been with eh, hes on the table, flip him like a coin." shrugging." That captain is the one who holds the information on contracts and bounty's, not Rak." leaning and placing her forehead against his helm" I will get this off you one day." grinning as she leaned back and chuckled.

The bodyguard’s hands slowly began to shift behind his head, coming undone as she spoke. "I don't bathe because my scent is animistic, masks my in the forests or jungles... anywhere in the wild. A demon won't look two ways to a bush that smells like bear crap." He snickered as he listened some more, letting the smoke trail in a strange pattern that seeped up his mask before rising up. He nodded to her words and grinned behind his mask before she rested her head against his helmet. His hands came down, taking a firm hold of her hips as he flared his eyes. "Perhaps. Depends if you're a good girl or not." There was a devilish chuckle from him as his hands slightly slid up her sides.

The ranger would raise a brow further at this, and sniff at him, though as he sat up she slid into his lap and kept there now looking up at him arms still crossed." Well you don't smell like too much of shit, so that’s a good thing... That or my nose is really bad." shrugging lightly as she would only slightly tense as his hands took a firm hold on her hips, a small slide of her teeth was grit as she grinned and waggled her brows at this." Oh, I assure you, i'm a very good girl." she said in a teasing tone, arms slowly uncrossing and gently resting on the armored forearms of the man, perhaps wanting to test, let alone press her luck with him.

The guard rose a brow curiously, the fel in his mask dimming for a moment as he leaned into her, whispering quietly. "Oh... you are are you? Can't say I've seen you on the good girl list..." Heat radiated off his helmet as he got closer to her neck,his thumbs pressing against her soft skin of her hips, running small circles against her. "You sure you want to see what's hidden in the darkness of the cage?"

The ranger blinked noticing the fel dim for a moment, keeping still as he leaned to her, shutting off all sound but him, no rustling of the barkeeps nor anything would break her concentration as she smirked devilishly and spoke lowly as he was near." Oh, there’s a good girl list? Don't check the naughty." feeling him lean closer and to her neck blue eyes kept on him as she slightly went to move, though his thumbs against her hips made her slightly dip, a light small irritated growl was let forth, she didn't dislike, though she didn't like he had found a spot she was so fond of being touched like this, merely a soft weakness when actually allowed in a comfortable setting." Oh come now, you know I am curious." she playfully leaned into his mask and gave a small kiss to it.

The bodyguard  snickered as he nodded slowly to her words. "Oh... I've seen the naughty list... and I saw a particular name...." His hands squeezed her hips harder as he continued to caress her, his mask pulling away as he felt her pressing a small kiss against his faceplate. "Perhaps I'll let you see... though... it's best I not." He snickered as he pulled back, resting himself against the chair, his hands dropped from her sides as they returned to the back of his head. "There's a lot of trust involved."

The ranger gave out a playful gasp as she pulled from his mask and chucked softly." Oh shhh, don't tell anyone." she would grip his arms a bit tighter letting out a small involuntary squeakish-moan and grunt slightly glaring at him now, though slightly wiggled and would adjust her gloves lightly glancing to him." I want to see regardless." eyes now trailing over his armor she nervously pressed her lips together, and got off of him." Trust is.. not light, nor comes easily." softly muttering lowly as she would look to the mugs and refill his, then her own and snicker." one day then." looking to him with a soft smile and raising her own mug to him giving a playful wink.

The two then returned to their seating and carried on now.

The bodyguard nodded as he reached down and took his mug and rose it to her, raising it to his helmet, pushing it up and letting the smoke plume as he took a swig of his drink. "One day... maybe in the close present or far off future." A single eye of his mask flared at her as he lowered the mug to the table.

The ranger would still be tempted to fling herself to pull the helm off, though sinking into the chair, with lightly flushed cheeks, on what had happened and the ale setting in she would roll her eyes lightly." Keep talking like that, enough drinks and I may have you bathing." devilishly grinning as she had more running through her mind than that and looked to the ale in the mug." So fel, kill fast, or kill slow?"

The bodyguard snickered at her as he rose his hand back to his head once more, letting his shoulders rest against the back of the chair as his head did against his hands. "So long as you're bathing as well." Smoke plumed from his mask as he commented, though his head canted as he listened to her next question, a sly grin sliding across his face. "What ever the Lady wishes for."

The ranger  would blink raising a brow." Well, you have seen me nude I am sure." she snickers softly." I am not sorry for sleeping in the nude" she gestured raising her mug." I’m sure ya saw some things you didn't like. And I shall keep your killing in mind, as it will depend on the aspect's that arise." lightly gripping the mug she glanced around for a moment, then to him and offers a somewhat kind smile, as she was slowly getting used to 'company' .

The bodyguard  shrugged his shoulders as he shook his head slowly, eyeing her curiously. "There is nothing about your features that repel me, I find them rather... lovely." he snickered as he lowered his hands to the table and nodded to her. "I do have one request... I don't do poisons. Either you send me in or you don't go for the target at all. If you need to poison... well...There's not much to say there”

The ranger would place the mug down and lightly push it away with her index finger." Oh? Well now that’s a first, normally men are somewhat repulsed by battle scares." though lowly she would speak.'Pussy's that is'. her attention would make her sit upright and cant her head at the mention of poisons." I don't dabble in that shit, I like to bleed them slowly, or quickly, there is no dabble in that mess, its kidnap, torment or kill." saying this calmly she would lean to the table and fold her hand's together." To poison, I deem it as a low and tedious factor, regardless of what ever it is, if I wish to pull information, I will without the magic's of something coursing through ones blood stream, it seems pointless, they will give in with pain or die."

The bodyguard nodded to her as he bowed his head. "Then we are in agreement then." Getting up, he'd move beside her before offering his arm. "Shall I escort the Lady to her quarters now?" Leaning down he'd begin to speak quietly so only she could hear. "The delicate markings that line your body are only beautiful paints of your past. They make you glow rather ravishing... a gorgeous sight."

The ranger was not paying attention for a moment and would start  blinking as she didn't expect his large body so close to hers, though a smirk lined her lips as she glanced to the arm he so kindly offered, lifting her own arm and nodding at his words she soon felt herself still as he leaned in and whispers to her, color soon flushed to her cheeks unintentionally as she gently took his arm and leaned in with a wild grin." You keep this up, i may have to wear a shit, don't need you ravishing my body." leaning in more as she gently kissed his helm only playing with the man, as in a near dare." I do thank you Fel Gate." she pressed herself gently as a 'lady' should and waggled her brows." Come my Tall and handsome guard, carry me. " she chuckled out and threw her arms around his neck, leaning close to his ears." Carry me, I enjoy it so much in your arms." teetering her head lightly and lifting her brows as she nearly plopped her body within his arms.

The bodyguard  caught her in his grip as he looked down to her, smoke seeping from the grates of his mask. "As the Lady requests. To your quarters." He carried her through the inn until reaching the room rented for her, tab paid from his own coin pouch. Tossing her onto the bed in a playful manner he looked down at her and rose his hand up to his helmet, only lifting it up enough so she could see his black beard. "That's all you get." He snickered as he lowered himself more. "Though... don't wear a shirt... I rather enjoy reading the story of your life as you sleep. Gives me something to do." The ranger would giggle as she was carried to the room, a squeal escaped her lips as her body hit the bed, giggles arose as rare as it was for the ranger to do she gasped and would roll her eyes." I sleep in the nude, so watch my story all you wish." she grinned and started to undress as she had before, though a blush would brighten her cheeks, ans a shy shaken breath was taken as she soon kicked off her boots and slid the pants odd, lightly wiggling the tabard playfully." You want to take it off." her brow slowly lifted as she gently gripped his armored hands and lightly licked the inner of her lower lip and softly bit at it.

The bodyguard had been picking her clothing as she took them all off, folding them neatly and placing them on the other bed, though he soon watched her wave the tabard she wore at him and nodded to her question. Shifting a knee onto the bed, he placed his hands against her hips firmly at first, massaging her in a way before his fingers hooked against the tabard and he slowly pulled it off her body. He nodded, folding the tabard and laying it on the bed before climbing onto the bed next to her and laying back. "Sleep Mistress Scarlet, I'll be here when you wake."

 The ranger would watch him place her clothing on the other bed, and adjust herself as she watched, though as he turned his attention towards her, feeling his hands against her hips an instinctive gasp was made, remembering the last time and just as he did before would make her give out the squeak with a moan, though only slightly pouting and slightly deeper red cheeks, a simple nod was given as she slowly glanced to him completely in the nude now." You promise you will be here?" she playfully asked adjusting herself and the sheets, gingerly covering her breasts, and smirking as she laid down on one side of the bed.

The bodyguard nodded slowly as he brought an arm behind the head, relaxing his body. "I promise I"ll be here... Now get some rest." He looked to her, the fel in his mask dimming to almost no light, the room going dark at this. "We'll have time tomorrow."

The ranger would press against him as she did last time, closing her eyes an arm would gently go over his armor as she found comfort in this and nuzzled against, she would fall asleep rather quickly, as it always seemed around him at least, not even able to answer or even talk to him, too lost within the warm bed sheets and the 'warm' body she clung to now.

The bodyguard  looked down at her and he felt a light tug against his lips, smiling as he watched her sleep. His hand came down around her back as he slowly began to glide the softness of the leather palm against her back before his head began to fall to the side and he dozed off.
