American Woman (Thomas Shelby x American OC) Ch. 69: Restructured

Masterlist: https://www.tumblr.com/sl-newsie/739551758747090944/american-woman-thomas-shelby-x-american-oc?source=share

The next day I begin drafting a resignation letter. Contract or no contract, I am not going to work for a fascist. I can find other ways to earn money. I will not stand by while Mosley treats people with such disrespect and dismantles the capitalist system my vader abides by. Thank God Thomas knows to leave me alone and has kept away from Watery Lane these past few days.

Liam is most displeased as well. He telephoned Abel and warned him, then phoned Conor in America. My frustrated broer left for the office an hour ago, leaving me some much-needed quiet.

Grr. Dílis growls when footsteps approach the door. Rr-raw-raw-ruh!

The canine jumps up and bounds over to the door, snapping at Thomas as he tries to get in.

“Bloody Hell!” He roars, surprised by the attack.

Should I let my dog misbehave or use my own bark to scare Thomas away? Both can suffice.

“Dílis! Halt! Komm.” The dog trots back to me and stops by where I’m sitting. “Zit. Bleib.” He lays down on the rug and watches me. “Braver hund.”

“That beast nearly had me!” Thomas snaps, staring between Dílis and me.

I give him a pointed stare. “Next time, knock.”

Thomas groans and pinches his forehead. “Linda is gone. Ben Founder is dead.”

Ben is- He’s gone? Oh, poor Ada. She must be so distraught. First Freddie and now him. But I don’t understand. What does Thomas want me to do? I made my side of the matter quite clear last night. I am not going to let anymore of this seep into my familie’s lives.

Thomas looks up when he’s done waiting for a response. “Are you going to stop talking to me again?”

His exasperated tone makes me slam my book shut. “I never signed up to work for a fascist. Or a racist. Or in a business involving opium. Your actions are going against everything I believe in! What my family believes in!” I stand up and point right at him. “I will also mention that I will be informing Uncle Colon of your new friend. He will not like it one bit.”

Thomas sets down his cap and strides over to corner me in my chair. “I’m not making an alliance with that bastard. I’m spying on him, Verena. I don’t believe in any of those things. Sometimes you need to earn the trust of your enemies so when they turn their backs on you, you'll get the chance to drive a knife in.” His icy blue eyes shift in all directions, as if to convince me through a staring contest. He finally blinks and picks up his hat. “Hop to it. There’s a family meeting in one hour.”

“Wait,” I call before he gets too far, stopping him in his tracks but still facing away. “If this is the route the company is taking then I am not going to be a part of it. I’m going to make a life for myself back home. In Michigan.”

Thomas still refuses to look at me. “Alright. So you’re finally leaving the Peaky Blinders.”

No more holding back. “I want a married life, Thomas. I haven’t had one. And all the women I know say they wouldn’t give it up for anything.” Except Lizzie. “I want a family life. I want a child. And I’m tired of looking in all the wrong places.”

Places like Birmingham. It’s dreary, industrial neighborhoods of slums offer no promise of what a normal life is supposed to be. Instead of fresh air and sunshine it gives ash-filled skies and chilling rain. Somehow I grew a soft spot for this place; maybe because of how it reminds me of home.

Another soft spot that refuses to leave is my conflicting emotions for Thomas. He tries so hard to find the best solution when he comes out on top, even if it means facing danger by associating with Nazis. After all I’ve tried to tell him he still isn’t satisfied until he’s checked off every box. Right now he pulls on a straight face but it makes me wonder if he’s going to spiral down again just like last time.

I change to a calmer tone. “I’ve told you before that faith grows strongest during times of trial. Fear is the biggest enemy to faith. No matter what happens once I’m gone, don’t feel afraid.”

Thomas’ figure tenses and he whips around to stare at me. “How the bloody Hell am I supposed to have faith now?”

“I cannot decide for you. Believe God’s truth. Look past the circumstances and see what you’re already blessed with, Thomas. You have two beautiful children. If you cannot find faith for yourself, have faith for them.”

He stays quiet, gaping at me as I walk to the closet and grab my coat. Meeting you has changed me forever. My life will never be the same. It’s too late to ignore it. I love you. You’ve taught me to not always play by the rules of someone else's game. But now I need to trust my instincts and forget. I'm setting my own rules now.

“One more family meeting,” I decide as I slip it on and adjust a hat over my two braids. “I shall use the occasion to say my goodbyes.”

I hear Thomas grunt. “Michael and Gina are coming too.”

“Good. One American being replaced by another.”

We get to the door but Thomas holds it before I can walk through. “No one can ever replace you, Verena.”

We drive to the Garrison in silence. When we walk in I see we’re the last to arrive. The gang’s all here. Arthur, Polly, Finn, Michael, and Gina all wait at a table. Aberama sits at the counter while Jerimiah. Uncle Charlie, Johnny Doggs, and Curly step aside to let Thomas pass. The one who isn’t here is Ada. I don’t blame her in the slightest.

“Zit, Dílis,” I order. The hond obeys and takes a spot next to Polly.

While Thomas heads to the table I slip into the back room and pick up the telephone. After a few rings I hear Ada pick up.

“Verena?”

Lord, she sounds exhausted. “It’s me, Ada. How’s the baby?”

There’s the sound of her breath shaking. “I-I’m fine.”

“Ada. I am so sorry. I just heard.”

“I- I didn’t fully love him. But I liked him. Now he’s gone…” Ada trails off and sighs. “Get out of our lives, Verena. Get out while you still can. Before we fuck up your life too.”

Too late.

“Funny you should say that. I… I’m considering resignation.”

There’s a pause over the phone. “I’ll miss you. Maybe I’ll come visit once things calm down.”

If only she were here in person. “You are always welcome, Ada. I’m afraid I have to go now. 'Family meeting,' you know.”

“Good luck.”

Click.

Ada hangs up without a formal goodbye. I don’t know how she’s putting up with this. At least she has Karl and a child on the way to keep her busy.

“…He and Polly are to be married in three weeks with my blessing. From now on he will be welcome at our meetings.”

Thomas must be talking about Mr. Gold. I hang up the phone and rejoin the group, taking the liberty to pour a small whiskey. Most everyone keeps watching Thomas but in the corner of my eye I see Gina watching me. 

“First item of business: bereavement. Colonel Ben Younger, who might have become a member of this family, was taken from us by dark forces. We’ve made some investigations. We think we know who planted the bomb. In the meantime, our thoughts are with Ada. Hopefully her new baby will sit here in the future, but under happier circumstances.”

I clutch my glass tighter and lock eyes with Polly. We’re both thinking the same thing.  Jesus, Thomas. Another heir to your line of gangsters. You see how Finn’s become. Why must you pull Ada’s children into this as well?

“Let’s drink to happier circumstances,” Polly mutters as she pours another whiskey.

“To Ada!” Arthur cheers.

“To Ada!” We all chorus and sip our drinks.

Thomas coughs and continues on. “Item number two. An announcement regarding Michael.”

The man clears his throat to interrupt him. Here we go. “Before you go on, Tommy, there’s something I’d like to say. About finances. According to your estimations, the delivery and shipment of opium will bring in around 2 million pounds per year. Therefore, I think this company should be restructured.”

Of course he’d suggest that. Restructured. What a nice way of rewording.

“Michael,” Polly speaks up. “I think this can wait ‘til outside the family meeting.”

Even his own moeder  doesn’t agree.

Thomas keeps his eyes focused on Michael. “Restructured in what way?”

Gina answers for him. “Because of the money involved, shipment will be the primary source of income to the company. It’s simple mathematics.”

Michael stands up and goes to stand protectively behind her. “With the help of my wife, I will organize expansion into America, into narcotics. I have good contacts in Detroit, Boston, New York, who I’ve already spoken to. The narcotics business will ring in twenty million dollars per annum. Enough for you all to enjoy an easing of the burden you all now feel.”

Everyone’s looking at him the same way I feel. They had this planned from the beginning. Waiting for when we were put down so they could step in with their restructuring. Pitching an idea that, frankly, suggests retirement. It sounds that Michael does agree with those who say Thomas Shelby is an old force.

Michael looks around the room. “Tommy, you can do the good work you always wanted to do. Mum, you can get married and live in that big house. Arthur, you can be the man Linda wants you to be.”

Arthur isn’t bought. “Fuck Linda.”

Michael keeps going and walks over to us. “Finn, you’ve proven yourself. You’re part of the new generation. You could come to New York with me.”

Finn shifts his glance to me and I slowly shake my head. Michael catches on and decides to focus on me.

“You too, Verena. Don’t you miss your own family? Tired of having to come back here?”

He is not going to string me into this. Everyone here knows of my loyalty to this company and I am not going to let an arrogant wannabe narcotics salesman influence me.

My stare stays cold and still. “No. I decide for myself.”

While we stay in silence, Gina, with her eyes still locked on Thomas, lazily hands Michael a black folder. He takes it and throws it on the table in front of them.

“Here is my proposal. A full restructuring of the company. I will be managing director… You can be non-executive chairman. But under an assumed name to protect your reputation. You will be registered as Mr. Jones. You will each receive a share of the profits. None of you will have to engage in the associated activities.” 

My jaw drops. That slimy git! First he insults us by bringing up restructuring. Now he pulls out an entire plan that erases the Shelby name altogether!

He picks up the file again and holds it out to Thomas. “Take a look at the future, Tommy.”

Thomas eyes the folder and takes it. “It’s cold in here, Michael.”

He turns away and throws the folder straight into the fireplace, causing it to go up in flames. Johnny starts laughing and I breathe a sigh of relief. Thank God!

Michael starts objecting. “The Americans want to deal with me-!”

“Tell him the truth,” Gina interrupts cockily. “Go on. He can take it.”

Michael goes silent and looks to the floor. Oh, so now he’s hesitant to speak?

“Tell me the truth, Michael,” Thomas taunts him.

He slowly looks up. “The Americans don’t want to deal with an old-fashioned backstreet razor gang. Those days are done.”

Thud!

Suddenly Liam and a few more men barge in and start ranting about an escaped man. Arthur and the others rush out to help, leaving Michael, Gina, Polly, and me. Alright, where did this mess about Americans refusing business come from? The people I talk to are happy for a partnership! The depression is causing everyone to sink and no one is going to care who runs the show as long as they get their money.

“I’m doing this for you, Tommy,” Michael quips as Thomas leans against the fireplace. “It’s time. And you know it. Mum’s leaving, John’s dead, Arthur needs help, Verena just got stabbed, Ada’s man was killed in your own backyard because you fucked up-”

Thomas pulls a glass from a table and throws it into the fire. Raging, he spins around and faces the knife Michael’s holding. Oh God. Gina freezes in her chair and I jump up to grab my gun.

Rr-raw-raw-ruh! Dílis lets out a fierce growl and bares his teeth at Michael.

“Go on, Tom,” he jibes. “Cut me. Like the good old days. Or, see this for what it really is.”

Thomas smacks his lips and squints at him. “I gave you an opportunity, Michael. You betrayed me. Don’t be here when I get back.” He points at Gina. “You. You tell your family-”

“Let me guess,” she drones, staring at the ceiling. “Don’t fuck with the Peaky Blinders.”

“Damn straight,” I bark, still holding my pistol.

Gina scoffs. “Shut the fuck up. You have no right to say anything-”

Thump!

Thomas pounds a fist on the table. “Verena is far more of a member of this family than you will ever be.”

Gina tilts her head at him. “If you love her so much why don’t you knock her up too?”

Thomas stiffens and balls his hands into fists, glaring at her like he’s about to strangle her. That was too far. For both of us. Even if Thomas does somehow love me he would never do something that sinful to me. Gina has rendered him furiously speechless.

I step closer and speak for both of us. “Shut the Hell up before I do something regretful.”

Gina raises an eyebrow. “Like what? Like selling your whole soul to this company? Losing one of your own siblings to this-?”

“Like putting a bullet through your fucking head,” I snarl, feeling my own blood boil. “Dílis. Fass!”

The canine bounds forward and snaps at her and Michael. Polly’s startled but doesn’t tell me to stop him. Dílis tears a shred of Gina’s skirt and backs Michael into a chair.

“Ah! Get off me, bloody Hellhound!” He shrieks and snivels.

“Halt.”

The dog stops attacking but still growls at the shaken man. He trots back to me as I readjust my coat and begin walking out.

“Thank you, Dílis. Braver hund. Braver hund.”

“Verena!” Thomas calls after me when he walks through the door. “Are you alright-?”

“Not the first time I’ve dealt with a bully,” I assure him with a nod. “No hard feelings.”

He reaches out and squeezes my hand. “Go back to the house. You’ll be safe there. We’ll fill you in later.”

In the distance I see Liam’s blonde hair stand out in the group of men leading away from the Garrison. “Will Liam be safe?”

Thomas nods. “You both will be safe. I’m not letting him get involved in anything he doesn’t want to.”

That does not mean Liam won’t jump at the chance for it. I know my broer. If there’s any danger around he will be drawn to it. But I cannot control his decisions, same as how he has stayed silent about mine.

Tonight brings pouring rain. Even the sky is unsettled now. I wait until dark and phone Polly to ask if she’s available for dinner.

“I’m afraid I can’t, Verena. My head’s too full to think. I’m going to take a warm bath and try to forget today’s rivalry.”

She’s being pulled from both sides. Both as a moeder and as a member of this company. Anyone can see that Michael is trying to cut us out and she can only allow so much leeway.

“Polly-” 

“I’m through with it. I am not going to watch them kill each other.” The phone shuffles around and she says: “You’re still ignoring my palm reading. Ada told me you’re leaving.”

I groan and hang my head. “I’m sorry, Polly. But I’m not going to let that choose for me. You heard what Mosley is planning on. How can you stand by and watch that happen?”

“Because I trust Tommy. You do too.”

“Not as deep as you may think,” I stress. “How do we know if whatever idea he has is going to work-?” I spot Dílis watching me next to the parlor table, wagging his tail and threatening to knock off a hand mirror. “Um- I gotta go, Polly! See you later!”

Click.

I hurry across the room just as the dog’s tail sends the mirror crashing to the ground, shattering it over the carpet

“Dílis- no! Nein!” I groan and collapse onto the sofa. Dílis lets out a whine and jumps up next to me, oblivious to the mess. “Perfect. A broken mirror. It will mean bad luck, I’m sure of it.”

“Forget about it.” Dílis and I look up to see Thomas step in from the back door. “I hope you don’t mind some company for dinner.”

“Not at all,” I answer and look back at the floor. “Don’t you believe that mirrors can trap souls? I’ve been told that some people cover their mirrors at night because they act as passageways for spirits. Or could you not fight your ego and not look at yourself for that long?”

Thomas strides over with a cloth and begins clearing away the shards. “I never took you for a woman to believe in those kinds of spirits.”

I smirk. “Says the Gypsy man who uses superstition instead of religion. I haven’t seen a spirit but that doesn't mean they don’t exist.”

We both clean up the mess and end up eating leftover stew. Dílis seats himself under the table and the house goes quiet. The only noise is the splattering of rain on the windows. Thomas and I are thinking the same thing. We don’t want to talk. He needs a quiet meal with someone around who he knows isn’t going to deceive him. 

“I’m assuming there’s a plan?” I ask out of the blue.

Thomas finishes his food and scratches Dílis’ ears. “Yes. The final preparations are being made. Tomorrow we will win, if our prayers are answered.”

He talks of praying now. Did he add that to sound hopeful or as a last resort?

“Would you sell your privilege of prayer?” I ponder. “Do you only pray when you need to extract something from God?”

The tired gangster leans over the table. “Well… As you said, I’m a Gypsy man who uses superstition instead of religion. You keep trying to save me but I’ve already seen things that tell me I’m cursed to keep going. My privilege of prayer is not something I use often, but no. I would not sell it. Between you and Polly I’ve noticed that something of a grand magnitude like that should be kept.” He pushes his chair in and grabs his hat.

I watch him walk slowly to the door. “You did learn something after all. Maybe my time here has not been a complete waste.”

Thomas turns around one last time. “You can’t save me. But you can save yourself from this place. I’ll miss you when you’re gone, love.”

‘I’ll miss you.’ He finally admits it. If only he wouldn’t have dug himself so deep into politics.

hello! first of all I love all that you do, its so helpful having something I can come back and refrence when needed. secondly I would like to ask for your help, I swear in the prologue book with Crowley in the library they used the same sound effect as Divuss whip/pointer and I swear the model of Crowley even in that moment was holding a whip but going back and trying to find it has been fruitless for me, am I going insane or was this something that maybe they took out in an update or was it not in the english verson? many thanks.

Hello hello!! Thank you so much, you are too kind! ♡

I am not sure if he was ever physically holding a whip (he does not seem to have one in his sprites), but you are very right that there is a whip sound effect in that moment!

Grim is bound and gagged by something in the game that the novel explains in more detail (below).

While the situation is vague on both EN and JP in the game, it is possibly moreso on EN because of untranslatable wordplay:

After the whip-crack sound, Grim reacts as though he is in pain and Crowley says, "Consider it tough love."

And in Japanese the kanji used to express "tough love" is love (愛) and whip (鞭) (literally, "whip of love"), but it is just a form of expression and (usually) doesn't mean literal whipping is taking place.

We've never had an official, visual representation of Crowley with a whip (not in the game guide, manga or the game itself, though the novel may have solved the mystery), but this is not the only time "tough love" comes up:

Later on in the prologue Grim refers to Crowley's "whip of love" binding him, using the katakana for "whip of love" rather than the kanji for "tough love," possibly because he only knows the attack by the name that Crowley used for it.

Crowley repeats his, "It's tough love!" line again on JP, possibly for the wordplay.

While sometimes things happen in the novel that don't happen in the game at all (and vice verse), it can be useful as a reference, and the violence of the "tough love" scene is described as follows:

"A long, black cloth wraps around Grim, binding his limbs and torso in an instant. The fabric stretches and contracts, moving as if alive.

'What the…! What is this rope?'

'It's not a rope. It's my tough love.'

The masked man points the end of the staff he holds at Grim.

'You tried to use magic just now, didn't you? We cannot have you thrashing around in a cramped place like this.'

'If you're gonna take it this far--grr.'

'Tried to use magic again, did you? You may not.'

Now with his mouth covered as well as his body, Grim bounces around at their feet.

Every time the man waves his key-shaped staff, the wriggling cloth he refers to as 'tough love' tightens around Grim. It is not unlike a large snake devouring a frog." -Twisted Wonderland the First Novel

And something similar might be happening in the game! While "lashings of love" is great localization, it means that EN loses Grim's actual line of, "He's gonna bind us up," as if something similar happened to Grim in the game as what happened in the novel--he was tied up--but due to the limitations of the visual novel medium, we weren't able to see it.

And right after Grim gives this warning there are two whip-crack sounds, and Grim and Ace are suddenly closer together on screen:

This might be to represent that they were tied together by Crowley's cloth! While it might also just be Grim hiding behind Ace--visual novels tend to leave a lot to the imagination--Ace and Grim getting tied up by Crowley's cloth is exactly what happens in the novel:

"Though he, too, tries to flee, Ace finds himself magically bound along with Grim, perhaps for being seen with his pen in his hand.” - “Still bound, Ace desperately shakes his head.” - “The laughing Grim is bound even tighter by the cord.” - “Crowley nods as he unties the cord from around the shocked-looking Ace.” - “Looking exhausted, Ace stands up and brushes the dirt from his uniform.” - Twisted Wonderland the First Novel

If you've ever seen fan art of Crowley with a whip, this is why! But I am not sure that the weapon he is using has ever been portrayed on-screen, in the form of a whip, magic cloth or otherwise :>

[servmouche]

i wish when people wanted to complain about wcue that they’d actually bring up an issue that means something. a lot of the times i see people complain it’s shit like “they haven’t read the books” or “they’re roleplaying with unrealistic names” or “they have noncats” or god forbid even worse is when they complain about something that’s very clearly just a child who doesn’t know everything yet??? like “oh i hate when people don’t know the difference between in rp and out of rp grr!!” and then i look at their example and it’s just a probably nine year old kid who just started playing the game

if you are going to complain about something how about the rampant toxicity on the game? i’ve gotten harassed and attacked so many damn times for being a spectator or a noncat and then these people just repeat the behavior after the mod warns them. i genuinely had to sit with mods for 3 hours while someone ignored their warnings, got kicked, and then eventually got banned because they couldn’t handle like 4 people spectating and hanging out in their clan

how about you talk about how there are genuinely horrible people on the game but the staff refuses to properly ban them even when they could be endangering children or promoting any number of harmful behavior. there is a dark underbelly to wcue but yes let’s make the big issue about how they put an apostrophe between their prefix and suffix

[kill-your-darlings-art]

For some reason, I'm hyperfixating really hard on Vampire Knight right now, so uh....

I may have bought the art book. And by "may have," I mean absolutely, definitely, 100% impulse-bought the art book.

And I have thoughts. A lot of thoughts.

So here's some of my favourite art from the book! Also, apologies for shitty, phone-quality photos.

(Under the cut so this doesn't get too long.)

Pretty outfits!

Kaname in a Day Class uniform.

I don't know what's funnier here, what Yuki's doing to Zero's hair or the fact that he's letting her. And in class (or at least, in public) by the looks of it, given that they're in uniform.

I hate how cute they are in chibi. Grr. >.<

I love their expressions in this. Like, you've walked in on them and they're both annoyed by it.

Ugh, this one is one of my favourites. It's just gorgeous. I like the symbolism, too---Yuki has her long hair and Artemis scythe, so this is after the whole pureblood reveal. The broken chains could represent her breaking the seal on her memories and powers, and of course they're red---so much of her life is soaked in blood, and if I remember correctly, her repressed memories manifested in visions of blood.

This one is interesting to me. Again, Yuki has long hair, meaning that this is post-awakening. She's holding Yuri protectively, almost possessively.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that Yuri seems to be wearing a Cross Academy necklace, like Yuki's. Is this symbolism, or is it just something I've forgotten about?

This illustration has always been one of my favourites. I think it's so funny that Zero and Kaname look like they're about to attack each other, and Yuki is physically holding them apart like, "c'mon guys, can you at least wait until after our picture is taken?"

I feel like it encapsulates their dynamic really well. ^-^

Well, that's all for now! But I have more thoughts. Lots more.

Stay tuned, if you're interested!

Lost in the Book with Stitch Part 12

Disclaimer: This is a fan translation. I apologize for any mistakes. I’m by no means fluent in Japanese, but I try my best. Please, support the official translation when it comes out. Be kind and friendly, and feel free to support me by donating a ko-fi if you’d like. Link is in my description!

Uninhabited Island - Tropical Forest

Lilia: “Apparently, Stitch is hundreds of times smarter than we are.”

Floyd: “He’s even started drawing on the ground.”

Lilia: “This flat ship-like thing... is it the vehicle that broke down when we met?”

Floyd: “This drawing here is of the robot I fought earlier…and the parts he got after breaking it?”

Floyd: “Haha…I understand.”

Floyd: “Take the parts from Gantu’s robots chasing Stitch. Use the pieces to fix the ship.”

Floyd: “So that when it’s fixed, you’ll give us a ride back to school, right?”

Lilia: “That alien named Gantu is not careless.”

Lilia: “Just because you turn yourself in, that doesn’t mean negotiations will go well.”

Lilia: “Even if we negotiate, that also doesn’t mean the promise will be fulfilled.”

Lilia: “So, it’s better to join hands with yourself. If you fix the spaceship, I’ll take you wherever you want.”

Lilia: “…I think that is what Stitch wants to say.”

Ace: “How do you both understand?”

Riddle: “Floyd, Lilia-senpai, and Stitch. I think they might be on the same page.”

Jack: “A ferocious friend has joined the worst combination of Floyd-senpai and Lilia-senpai…!”

Grim: “I don’t want to listen to such a strange guy, but Gantu, who also attacked here, is pissed off…”

Grim: “Hmm. Yuu, what are ya gonna do?”

Yuu:

“Join hands with Stitch!”

Stitch: !

Ace: “Woah, Stitch also climbed on Yuu’s shoulder.”

Azul: “Decided as a friend. It really is a calculating creature.”

“It’s better to follow Gantu…”

Riddle: “Stitch is approaching Yuu…?”

Stitch:♪

Riddle: “He jumped on Yuu’s shoulder!”

Jack: “This guy is buttering up Yuu. They’re going to give in.”

Yuu:

“He’s so cute…”

Grim: “Grrrr…! I'm so pissed! What a cunning and disgusting bastard!”

He’s heavy.”

Grim: “Hey, hang in there, Yuu! Grr~ Stitch, you're a cunning and disgusting fellow!”

Floyd: “Everyone is getting used to Stitch.”

Lilia: “It doesn’t look like there are any problems with teaming with this guy?”

Riddle: “That’s right. Now that Stitch has made something for me, I think I can survive until morning…”

Riddle: “More importantly, if we can return to school, the situation changes.”

Riddle: “Rather than repair the relationship with Gantu, whom we already fought, it seems better to team up with Stitch.”

Riddle: “A pleasure working with you, Stitch.”

Ace: “Well, if we can escape the uninhabited island…I’ll help you out, Stitch.”

Ace: “But, don’t bite me anymore, okay? Let’s do good things.”

Jack: “I’ll have you know I’m not doing this one-sidedly. I’m working together to escape.”

Azul: “That’s right. I thank you for the temporary partnership.”

Grim: “Ugh……I don’t care for Stitch, but in order to escape…”

Grim: “…Fine! I’ll fix your spaceship.”

Grim: “But, I’m the boss. So, you better listen to me!”

Grim: “Hey, stop it! Don’t stroke my head! I told you I’m the boss!”

Ace: “Ahaha. You’re good friends. Don’t you two look a bit like each other if you do that?”

Floyd: “Which one is Baby seal-chan, and which is Stitch.”

Grim: “Nyanou! We’re completely different!! I’m better than this guy…I’m better…”

Lilia: “So, are we resting today? We have to preserve our physical strength for tomorrow.”

Lilia: “When I flew through the sky, I saw something like a cave. Let’s spend the night there.”

Lilia: “It should be able to withstand the wind and rain.”

Floyd: “Ah, are we sleeping outdoors? Then, why not start a campfire?”

Jack: “You can’t do it in this situation.”

Lilia: “Floyd…”

Lilia: “That’s tomorrow’s fun!!”

Ace: “I guess we’ll do it tomorrow…”

To be continued…

Solar Opposites: The Wrath of Ophelia Sneak Peek

Terry is on the floor as he gets up and growls at Ophelia.

Terry: I will not let you hurt my family!

Ophelia: Grr… I knew you were always cursed, ever since the day you were born!

Terry: How do you even know me?!

Ophelia: I was the one who attack your parents! I was supposed to have you. Because, I heard that a cursed sproutling who is soon to be the future victim of my planet’s energy is born! But those nasty fucking Shlorpians stop me! Then I vow vengeance to get you one day!

Terry gasps as he remembers.The flashback flashes images of Ophelia trying to take baby Terry, only for the guards to stop her. The flashback flashes ended as Terry gasp and backs away in tears.

Terry: So.. you are a monster! *wipes away his tears while holding a crossbow* This.. is going to end… NOW!

Ophelia kicks Terry in the face

Terry: *groans as he gets up and then gets grabbed by Ophelia* I’m warning you… RELEASE CHEERY!

Then, the kids barge in here.

Yumyulack: DAD!

Jesse and Sonya: DADDY!

Pupa: PAPA!

Terry: *gasps* Kids?! Where’s Korvo?!

Yumyulack: *gasp in joy* You’re alive!

Suddenly, the kids get kicked down in the floor by the guards as they scream. The kids got up as they groan and then gasp in horror as the guards surrounded them.

Terry: No!

Terry growls at Ophelia.

Terry: STAY AWAY FROM MY KIDS YOU BITCH!

Suddenly a roar is heard

Jesse and Sonya: *gasp*

Yumyulack: *smiling in joy* Korvo!

Terry: Korvy!

Pupa: Papa?

Korvo, who is a monster, flies towards them

Monster Korvo: ROAR!

Terry blushes

Ophelia: The fuck?

Monster Korvo: Let him go!

Ophelia: *growls* I don’t take orders from anyone anymore!

Monster Korvo roars and punches Ophelia to the wall as he throws the guards to the wall. The kids cheer for their dad. Then, Monster Korvo breathes in and out as Terry gasp. Then, Terry runs up and soothes Monster Korvo’s face.

Terry: Korvy? Is that you in there?

Monster Korvo: *snarling as tears burst form his eyes*

Terry: Ssh…ssh…it’s okay. I’m safe now.

Monster Korvo breathes in and out but then calms down as he recognizes Terry, then he starts whimpering.

Monster Korvo: Terry?

Cue orchestral instrumental version of “Beautiful” from Zac Nelson.

Terry: Yeah. It’s me my beautiful shimmering stud.

Monster Korvo: *smiles with tears of joy* TERRY!

Monster Korvo picks up Terry as he flies up and twirls around. The two alien husbands embrace in a big damn kiss as they moan lovingly as Monster Korvo slowly lands on his feet.

Terry: What happened to you?

Monster Korvo: *sighs* I’m actually half Super Shlorpian. It’s been running in my family for years.

Terry: I think I read about that once…

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Yo-you did?

Terry nods

Terry: Yeah. In a monster book.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: You really read it?

Terry: Every day.

Super Shlorpian Korvo then starts crying as he embrace Terry.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: I’m so sorry I couldn’t tell you before…

Terry: Hey, it’s okay.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: *sniffles* Really? Thank you Terry.

Terry: Anytime boo… mmm… tell you what, your form looks very buff. Especially when your hips are wider:

Super Shlorpian Korvo blushes and holds his hips

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Thanks honey. We missed you so much.

The kids gasp in joy as they run up to hug Terry.

Pupa: PAPA!

Terry: Come here, ya little rascals!

Yumyulack: DAD!

Jesse and Sonya: DADDY!

The kids embrace Terry while Jesse is crying.

Jesse: *tearfully* Oh daddy… I missed you so much!

Terry: I know you did, sweetie. I know you did.

Terry then notices Korvo’s wings are glowing

Terry: Wow! You wings are glowing prettier than ever!

Super Shlorpian Korvo giggles

Super Shlorpian Korvo: *flaps his wings a bit* Thanks.

Super Shlorpian Korvo then realizes something as he gasp in horror. Terry puts a hand on Super Shlorpian Korvo’s cheek.

Terry: What’s wrong baby?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Oh shit! Our friends! They’ve been captured! We gotta go free them before they have their energies sucked out!

Terry gasps

Terry: Oh no! Cheery!

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Cheery?

Jesse: *gasp* That must be the Smithers’ missing daughter!

Yumyulack: We gotta go!

Terry: Right! Come on Solars, let’s go kick some ass and save some lives!

Super Shlorpian Korvo picks up Terry

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Hold on tight my love!

Terry: What?

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Trust me… this will be fun! Kids, get on me quick!

Sonya: Okay!

Yumyulack and Jesse: Woo-hoo! Yay!

Pupa: Korvo!

The kids hop on Super Shlorpian Korvo as they laugh. Super Shlorpian Korvo then picks up Terry.

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Hold on tight! We’re going up!

Terry: *screaming voice* UP?

Super Shlorpian Korvo spreads his wings and flies up as Terry screams

Terry: Whoa! *then grows excited* Woo-hoo-hoo! Yee-hoo! This is fucking awesome!

Jesse: Yay!

Sonya: *laughing while screaming*

Pupa: Flying!

Terry: Whoa honey! This is so awesome!

Super Shlorpian Korvo laughs

Super Shlorpian Korvo: Thank you baby! I love you so much!

Terry: *laughs* I love you too!

The two husbands kiss.

Terry: Hang on Cheery! Hang on guys! We’re coming for you!

Kids: YAY!

Yumyulack: Fuck yeah!

Fell chrom wanting to make groom robin happy cause "past chrom isn't capable of doing that smh" in his mind but when robin sees him for the first time, he gets a mini heart attack at seeing a dead chrom 😭

I think he'll soon get used to his presence when he sees how fell chrom does have a conscious and is kinda like a puppy with him

Fell Chrom: Grr... (I hate everyone for making you feel unloved and afraid, especially my other self.)

Groom Robin: Oh no, he hates me 😭😭😭 He must want to kill me for what my other self did to him!!!

You know how when they did Mustafa's Forging Bonds, they had Chrom acting all upset and everyone just assumed he hated Mustafa and wanted to fight him, but he actually wanted to apologize and was just being REALLY intense about it? I think something similar happens here. Everyone expects Fell Chrom to do something scary to this seemingly joyful and innocent Robin, but when he finally catches up to him, he just wants to give him some pretty flowers. Well, that and his eternal devotion, but like... he doesn't want to scare Robin any more than he already has, so flowers seem like a good start. Robin loves flowers. Day of Devotion Robin wanted HIS Chrom's flowers, not that that's been driving Fell Chrom insane or anything Hey did you know you can press them into a book and they won't wilt, Robin? Maybe Fell Chrom can help you with that.

SO UHM.... I love Games of Thrones all the content book/comic/tv show (even if I was ripping my hair out)

I don't want to sound mean and shit...because everybody has the right to consume content as they like.

And from consuming content other content made by fans appear, fanart and fanfiction, blogs (which I freaking adore).

Let's remeber that those are just FAN works cause it seems some people don't understand.

When we talk about the specific content the CANON content we have exclude bias created by fan works because the conversation won't have nuance and sense.

Especially in GRR Martin works, because you cant go around the internet and spread misinformation especially the people who only watched the tv series.

And I saw it especially in House of the dragon with the stupid fan wars team green vs team black.

Let's remeber that a book of Fire and Blood is not a reliable source of information because the maester who wrote it lived years apart from the end of the Dance of the dragons. And kinda wel not kinda was a misogynist so the story was favouring a certain team.

But let's leave that for a second and let's start debunking misinformation and stupid comments:

And please don't say oh I'm coming after team green fans, majority of mischaracterization and misinformation comes from team green fans

Rhaenyra is not heir of the throne Aegon is: Like have we seen the same show since episode 1 they call princess Rhaenyra heir of the throne, even with Aegon being born nothing changed. Aegon gets called the usurper because team green usurp the iron throne from the rightful heir.

Rhaenyra didn't support Baela's claim to inherit House Velaryon: *deep sigh* How could have she done she's not a Velaryon she MARRIED INTO the house, she became a widow and remarried she has no power. If you want criticize someone is Corlys he's the head of the house. And even if Baela succeeded Vaemond and some other Velaryon would have not agreed on letting a woman be heir of Driftmark

Leanor and Rhaenyra should have taken their duties more seriously: nunber one let me just say how funny how your opinions about this characters really show who you really are. Let's remeber Leanor is a gay man and I'm not forgetting some of ya'll homophobic rhetoric. How do yall know they never tried having children. Because if we watched the same show Laenor loves Rhaenyra and she loves him they probably agreed and tried. Some of yall are crazy saying that she should have forced him. If that ever happened the hate towards her would have intensified . Instead of talking how patriarchy literally forced him to marry a woman yall want to dehumanize him instead. And please let's stop comparing this situation to Margery because those are two different stories.

Rhaenyra would have just inherit the throne just for herself and not other women: in my previous post I said this but the more I think. Why do yall expect Rhaenyra to be a feminism advocate

The strong boy bullied Aemond: What they did was wrong cause laying at a kid who doesn't have a dragon is wrong. But bullying how does a 5 year old bullies a almost q0 year old. Luke and Jace were wrong for the pig situation. But let's talk about the Aegon of it all. Why do people like to attack Strong boys so bad, they were literally two kids who wanted to be cool like their older uncle Aegon so they followed what he did. But some of team green stans never bring up how Aegon, Otto and Alicent is the reason how Aemond is Aemond. Because why never mentioning how Argon sent his 13 year old brother in a whore house. How adults failed him because his grandpa and mother literally indoctrinated him in hating team black more.

Aemond is not a feminist is an incel, a hypocrite a man who hates bastards and then had a bastard. And don't give me he was charmed bullshit Targaryen don't get influenced by magic. He was not the best warrior or rider. The only reason he won his battle because he was fighting against the weak (squire, childre and elderly) example Simon Strong and literally made an unnecessarypool of blood in the Riverlands and let'snot talk about Daeron. He was too fool of himself and the got popped by a 50 year ol man.

Lucerys shouldn't get punished: Both of the kids should have get punished from that night. Not only two of them all of them. If you listened you hear Baela saying that Aemond was about to kill Jace. Lucerys maimed Aemond as self defense. Stop saying he WANTED to do it he was 5 who premeditates to main someone. Stop saying that people were afraid of Aemond cause of his eye. No he had a bad attitude and had the biggest dragon. I get in fanfiction yall have to out some spice but at this put out AU tag. Because people can't differentiate CANON from FANON. I let mischaracterization a little bit go in fanfiction but stop getting confused.

Aegon ate: You know damn well

Hating Rhaenyra for going to a brother is just internalized misogyny especially when yall defend Aegon

Team Green was not smart and didn't win the dance. Otto literally had the time to train Aegon as king and didn't then when Aegon became king literally fired him as hand of the king. Team green lost completely when Jaehera died.

The biggest proof of internalized misogyny in team green stand how yall make fun of Rhaenyra still birth and her weight. Just like the maesters in the book

Is ironic and sad that the only person that survived for a while in team green was Jaehera a daughter. If team green didn't uphold misogyny who knows she could have been heir.

Aegon III the third is not team green he literally saw his mother getting killed I understand why he's so depressed

Being racist to house Velaryon is not cute at all. GRR Martin said that they were originally black

Saying the only reason your team green is for Haelena is stupid. Because she was literally abused from team green, her mother and brother. They used her as a pawn and coming back with Aemond being a feminist or a good person if he was he would have never let his sister go through all that. The happiest moment we saw her was dancing with Jace.

Strong boys didn't deserve the hate or to die

Saying if you were Rhaenyra you would have never snuck out, "sleep around" or have bastard children is just slut shaming.

Daemon is a bad person yes but even Aemond, Aegon and Daeron, they are not pinterest boys as ya'll like to headcanon.

Alicent saying that if Jace would have become King, Kingslanding would have become a huge brother is quite hypocrisy because she's talking about her kids even when she calls the Strong boys savages she's still talking about her kids.

During the dance Rhaenyra was a bad ruler, but is caused by the same usurpation cause by misogyny

Oh and stop using people of colour as a way to prove that team black is bad cause we know you really don't care about us.

Teapot Lines:

Favorite set - outside: A spacious place with good seating, scenery, plants… I adore the pool of Liquid Phlogiston too. I'd… invite you to take a swim, but humans cannot stand that heat, right?

Favorite set - inside: *lost in thought* hmph… o-oh, apologies, I was thinking about something, these books are… interesting, if it isn't much trouble, I'd like to read them for a moment longer. And thank you for the decorations, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, I'd enjoy your company too

Greeting: Hello, Starlight, did you need anything? As always, I'm at your disposal. Hm? I shouldn't be so formal? Alright…

“Do you like it here?”: Why of course, it is a nice and relaxing place, it is also quite interesting how such a space can be contained in a tea pot at that… I had thought you were insane. Don't get me wrong, I have seen many things, but you could've explained yourself instead of just telling me “wanna visit my home?” whilst pointing at the thing.

“What’s on your mind?”: Oh, I was about to explore this realm, I had half in mind to transform into my dragon form and scout the place quicker but… I would probably crush something so I'll remain in this form.

{“You can do that at will?” Of course, the transformation does take a toll on me though, so I use it sparingly. Anyways… I'll go on foot instead, care to join me?

{“Thank you for your consideration…” *chuckles* is that sarcasm? Anyways… I'll go on foot instead, care to join me?

“Anything you want to do?”: I'd like to talk about your… decoration choices. Do you perhaps have space limitations? I have noticed there are many random empty spaces and even paths leading to just…. A patch of grass

{“I believe it looks fine.” Of course, I am by no means hinting it is bad, your comfort is the top priority. But I also recommend this space care and attention too, it might be useful to use it too to allow your creativity to be “let loose.” Then again, as I said, if leaving it as it is is fine for you, then be my guest.

{“Are you giving me decoration advice?” If I am allowed to do so, then yes. You could add a nice fountain over there…. Some trees or perhaps a space for your friends to hang out. Then again, as I said, if leaving it as it is is fine for you, then be my guest.

{“What's wrong with it?” I-Its not that there is anything wrong per se… but I simply believe a fuller space would be better to enrich yourself whenever you come back home to relax and unwind for the say… Then again, as I said, if leaving it as it is is fine for you, then be my guest.

“Good morning, Eztli.”: Good morning to you too, care to have a drink with me? Ah- I do not drink alcohol though, just tea or perhaps juice.

“Good night, Eztli.”: Good night to you too, Starlight, I understand there is no need to stand watch… but I will remain awake for another moment if any of your friends - or you - need anything.

Idle lines:

“I should get back to work soon…”

“{{Traveler name}} should be fine alone…”

Spots Traveler:

“There you are, Starlight!”

“Need something?”

Shattered Hero ~ Origins of the Ink Demon: Episode Maka Pt.7 (2/2)~ (Reuploaded)

[Huge Crisis Zone : Boss Area]

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Drats! No sign of this Eggman Negative fella and he must be here somewhere around the naval station. Where could this man possibly be?

[Boss (Neves) - Akihiro Honda]

Arthur (via radio) : Great! I'm beginning to pick up some radar signals. He has to be at the right spot, but I'm sure he might be hiding somewhere.

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Arthur, do you know where he is?

Arthur (via radio) : Yeah, I'm sure that it is your 20. We finally know where he is!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Where is he? (behind him is the Egg Hammer Mega) It's right behing me, is there?

Arthur (via radio) : Correct! (Shinra turns and sees the mech)

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Oh, heck no! This is not my lucky day!

"HUGE CRISIS BOSS : EGG HAMMER FORTRESS"

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : So this is where you have been hiding! You were doing something to the inhabitants of Sonic's world, weren't you?

Eggman Nega : Surprise to see me, aren't we? Lucky for you, the Ifrit will awaken to gain power and immortality!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : How are you gonna make the Ifrit Stronger?

Eggman Nega : Isn't obvious, according to the book, it states that the Ifrit can grow stronger by feeding him one precious meal to give him the power, a chao of course!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Why you heartless scum! I knew you were doing this to the other Robotnik, you weren't going to rule the world to overthrow him, you were only craving on attempted murder and genocide! What kind of descendant from the future are you anyway!? You devil! (fires missiles at the Egg Hammer Fortress) Did it work?

Eggman Nega : Nice try, devil! But this Egg Hammer mech is built even stronger than the original in the forest!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Damn! The missiles won't work on this guy! He's nuts! I don't know if my attacks with the walker will do any damage, but if I use the laser cannon, I'll sunk a battleship, just like how kids the Battleship toy game! It's like chess and checkers!

Eggman Nega : And now...It'll be checkmate for you once I crush you with this mech used by me! Lights out, devil!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Oh man! I'm gonna get turn into a pancake!

*DBZ SFX : SWISH-SLASH!*

Eggman Nega : What!?

*DBZ SFX : EXPLOSION!*

Arthur : Sorry for the delay! But I'm afraid that killing a Chao population isn't yours to annhilate them.

Eggman Nega : Curse you!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Arthur Boyle, dude! What took ya so long!?

Arthur : Sorry to break it to ya, Shinra. Because, Arthur Boyle is no more after I died in space where had to be resurrected into reincarnation since the Time Eater destroyed half of our universe which was a facade to the Shadow Realm. But this is the new Arthur Boyle, I am reincarnated into a girl! (shifts into Saber's voice) And this is the reason that the knight never dies! I live for real and remain as Arthur Boyle's reincarnation, Saber!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Lemme guess...You've turned yourself into a girl, didn't you?

Arthur/Saber : Of course, which is why I've always wanted to become a girl one day. But hey, at least it's the 06.

Eggman Nega : Grr! You'll regret this! I will awaken the Ifrit and if it's the last thing I do!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Eggman Nega! Wait!

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Blaze knew what were you doing on planning to take over the world, awakening a demon that will easily put the whole world in genocide, is that what you planned from the start at the future of Sonic's World?

[End the Game - Yutaka Minobe]

Eggman Nega : Of course, it will! I just needed to achieve my plans, but that blasted hedgehog foils everything I did! What does he have that I don't! I will mark the last laugh if it's what I do! (flies away)

[Law of the Shadow Army - Masamichi Amano]

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : Damn! I Never thought that Silver would want to overthrow Eggman Nega's plan on overthrowing the Robotniks. If that hadn't been for the Black Arms Invasion, then all of humanity will be done for if it means to the hero that caused a powerful, explosive shockwave that wiped out four-fifths of the population in Japan. Following after, a second explosion occured was in Tokyo, it was Inca's future relative, Kimial.

Arthur/Saber : True that, humans thought that were gifted with the despair from Sephiroth, but it turns out it was all just a part of a corrupt game. Demon Vibe might be responsible for the destruction in an exchange for galactic conquest, but the thing that other villains might be humanity's problem or the humans that are heartless their selves, It's not a big deal that I was involved of some kind of conspiracy after the Time Eater figured it out that the universe we lived was a facade to Shadow Realm.

Shinra (Devil Chaos Chao) : How pitiful. After all of that Fire Soldier crap about 1000 years ago, I'd foiled Demon Vibe's plan by destroying it's creation, the evangelist, I realized that the eight pillars that were us were only used not just our souls, but our hearts that would be the keys to open the door to darkness. Why I did spread the "Influence" that I caused for what?

Arthur/Saber : ...Shinra.

"Meanwhile at Sailor Senshi Headquaters..."

[Mistery - Seirou Okamoto]

Luna : Good evening, Senshis. We are gathered here to inform you to this newest mission and this time our location will be very different this time.

Usagi : Okay, so Tokyo might be safer this time. What's next for us? I bet it's a vacation

Luna : We have just received from Intel that a man from 200 years in the future has been capturing Chao from the famous for an extinction event and we identified the kidnapper that would be the demon's feeding freezny chef. He is Eggman Negative, otherwise known as Eggman Nega, an escaped criminal and archnemesis to a hedgehog and the princess of the Sol Dimension within Sonic's universe.

Usagi : Hey, that's the man in the picture during the Black Arms Invasion aftermath. He appeared a year before we were awakened about 15 years ago. By any means necessarily to him for capturing cute and cuddlesome creatures, does he have any involvements with Dark Nebula or a demon? I don't think that he wasble able to open his prison and instead awaken a demon that will destroy all life on earth. So tell me who took the Prison of Dark Nebula after a gang of inter-galactic gangs tried to steal a chest that was actually a piece of cake which was stole from that pink puff?

(the computerize orb shows a mugshot of Mizune)

Usagi : Mizune the Mice Witch. A master of treasure hunting and adoptive daughter of Mouser, the member of the 8-bits organization led by Eruka's long lost relative Mamu, AKA the Great Wart himself. So she's responsible for taking Dark Nebula's prison. Sneaky rat.

Ami : Of according to the info, local Nintendo veteran and founder of Smash Masahiro Sakurai claims that his own creation was frustrated and went on a rampage after King Dedede's castle had a break in by a gang of inter-galatic thieves that tries to take the prison of Dark Nebula from him, in which Meta Knight prevented Kirby from ever opening it. the Squeaks figuring out that the King has created copies of Dark Nebula's prison that are all shapes and sizes. Poor Kirby still wanting a taste of his snack and, who knew that stealing a cake from him would go on a bodacious rampage over a cake theft? I guess somebody else must've ate it. But I believe he might gets a taste of his cake another day.

Setsuna Meioh : And with it, all copies of Dark Nebula's prison are located in each of the location and the real that Mizune has it!

Usagi : So, where could Dark Nebula's prison would might end up at?

Luna : Let me show you where Dark Nebula's Prison end up might be.

(holographic images are shown from the computerize orb)

Rei : Get a load of this. Isn't that Meta Knight's ship?

Makoto : That's the halberd ain't it? How did it ended up in underwater like that?

Hotaru : Apparently, this ship that Meta Knight flew, has crash landed in the Secret Sea area 10 years ago after Meta Knight's false revenge plot was foiled by Kirby during that incident caused by the trickster Marx, who tried to conquer Kirby's homeworld in his plan of conquering Gamble Galaxy. But eventually, his plan failed and he was defeated along with the death of Galactic Nova. and it has been rebuilt and repaired by one designer that became a newest member to Meta Knight's group. One of the rebuilders that repaired the Halberd was Sir Halberd Knight, a new member that was added to Meta Knight's group.

Makoto : Who is the survivor?

Hotaru : It's this person named Tsugumi Harugori, a first-year student and former junior of a local high school that became the role of a massacre three years ago. Her classmates and teachers were slaughtered by Sephiroth and two unwanted perpetrators, Dark Meta Knight and a heartless named Shadow Star. Except for her two friends who were killed by Inky Albarn, the queen who framed the real Maka Albarn three years ago that started the same mess to the American Public and the attacks in Tokyo.

Usagi : So in order to access the Secret Sea to get to Meta Knight's Base, there five objects called the Star Seals that are inside within each of the copies of Dark Nebula's prison. And there are five of them located in each of the locations. This one's yellow, blue, green, red, and indigo. Hey, guys. you thinking what I'm thinking?

[A New Journey - Tomoya Ohtani & Takahito Eguchi]

Rei : Does that mean we're going to save the world, the Real World?

Luna : Indeed! This is an very important task for you all to protect our galaxy from the forces of true evil. the battle between Good and Evil are still a conflict in every story that everyone witnessed. After all, you are earth's only heroes!

Makoto : Yeah! You can count on us! We are the Sailor Scouts we put evil to justice on their knees! That'll show him who's boss!

Hotaru : I will be in honor to protect the earth at all costs.

Minako : This is will mark us forever superhero team, one happy family that is us, heroes together! We can save earth and without the DWMA's help!

(girls cheering)

Usagi : Stopping crime and the forces of evil. That's what superheroes can do for their selves. Maybe we would like to see to show the world what heroes can do. This global task force of Sailor Senshi will be our goal of defending earth from harm. Let's see for what our hearts can do for us.

☕️the ballad of songbirds and snakes movie lol

bonnie i love you so much lol it's like you know EXACTLY WHAT I'M WILLING TO BE SALTY ABOUT. SO OKAY UHHHHHHHHHH

I think it's absolutely whack that they're turning this book into a movie for a few reasons:

The main reason being, the YA Dystopian Craze died even before Mockingjay Part 2 was released. From all the video essays I've watched discussing this very subject, I think it's safe to say it died somewhere around late 2014. There was just this insane influx of YA Dystopia all at once that it sort of burned general audiences out very very quickly.

Because, when you boil them all down, they're really all the same thing at their core. The beginnings are always the most interesting part, because that's where all the unique worldbuilding occurs. But once you get into the belly of the franchises, they're all the same thing: taking down the evil government. So when you get that over and over and OVER, it quickly becomes predictable.

Mockingjay Part 2 suffered from the death, what with grossing the lowest out of the franchise (and not even getting an official soundtrack lmao STILL salty about that one). But I suppose that's better than Divergent just straight up not getting their final movie period.

Soooo for them to drag all of this back out in 2023/2024? I don't know if they think a large break will be beneficial or what, but I can't imagine opinions have shifted too much.

Another reason is that I genuinely cannot see this movie being accessible for general audiences. Like, I can see it being a movie that people see out of curiosity maybe. Like "Oh, I recognize this franchise from years ago, let me go see what this is about." But I can't see it getting great acclaim like THG or Catching Fire did?

Along those lines, the book is just so?? Longwinded and also extraordinarily dark in places? So I don't know how a lot of it is going to translate onto a screen. If Hollywood was too chicken to show Katniss' burn scars, and Peeta's lost leg, and Katniss' mental decline at the end of Mockingjay, are they really going to show all the brutal deaths and what have you in this? I WOULD BE GENUINELY SURPRISED. Like, maybe they'll treat it differently because it's a standalone movie and not part of an uwu twilogy, but I would still be shocked at the tonal shift. And salty, of course lmao.

And finally, it's just wild to me because I hardly saw anyone talk about this book. There was hype surrounding it for like, a week around its release, but then it seemed to fall into the mainstream void very quickly. A lot of my olden days THG friends haven't even read it yet, nor do they plan to JSKDHSLK. And this video sums up the more common reactions I've seen, as well as a good chunk of my opinions towards the book as well jsldkjsldks.

I don't know if they're banking on nostalgia or curiosity or what for this, but I would genuinely be shocked if it did well across the board. I will say that I'm happy they cast a women of color to play Lucy? And the actor they cast for Snow looks pretty similar (not as similar as Cody Fern though smh lol that's still my fancast). Buuuuut idk man idk. Maybe I'll be entirely wrong lol who knows! From my current perspective though, it just seems like it's going to be a flash in the pan.

The House of the dragon 1x01 (none reader review)

Coming back to Game of throne HBO show, three years after the infamous finale season 8 is a bit like coming back with an ex after a torrid love affair and a messy break up. Yeah, that was hot but do I really want to go through the same meltdown again?

I've read Game of throne books up to the dance of dragon and watched the 8 seasons of the show, but I haven't read Fire and blood inspiring the house of the dragon. No spoils please!!

Initially my answer was "no, never again" but after watching the first trailers in spring, I was more " ok maybe just one more time?". HBO was really playing music in my ears with more targaryens, more authenticity to the novel, more dragons...

I was the perfect target audience for this spin-off. I really never been that much interesting about neither the Starks, the Nighwatch, and the Others. However I've always been a big fan of Daenerys and really invested into her storyline. Long story short, I'm not against the idea she ended up mad queen, but I think season 8 rushed her struggle with sanity and make it difficult to believe it.

House of the dragon (HOTD) comes like a sincere apologise and a promise to do better. It expands Daenerys Targaryen's tragic story 172 years before her birth. in GOT the targaryens are already gone, Daenerys is born orphan after the downfall of her family she doesn't know much about her culture but what her brother retold her and him also was a child. Dragons were suppose to have disappeared decades before her birth so when she awoke three it comes like a miracle. She didn't really know how to raise them and so do we.

The first episode of HOTD took really great care of old GOT viewers. This pilot was like a date, everything was done to make us comfortable and familiar with the universe : Targaryen's theme was very present, GOT's theme closed the episode for the nostalgia, here some long dialogues around a cup of wine, here some ultra graphic depiction of violence, here some crude sex, here some expensive costumes, here amazing landscape, and here amazing dragons.

Yes it's GOT, but with a complete different flavour almost two centuries ago. I especially love all the scenes with Rhaenyra, our new main character who where a nod to her descendant Daenerys.

Lol the opening scene gave me PTSD😅 last time we saw a dragon above King's Landing it didn't end well... so it's amusing to see we are in a different timeline, nobody is surprise to see a dragon flying above the city. The same dragon above the funeral pyre is an allusion to Daenerys's judgment against the Tarly family. And of course Rhaenyra in front of the throne reminds us Daenerys' final dream of power.

About the new plot in itself the approach seems original. Yes it's still about political struggle: who will succeed the king? but this time it's entirely focused on a deep family feud who happened to control dragons. And this intimacy kind of surprise me. We get use to pompous dialogues, epic war, machiavellian scheme. That will come later because hey! it's still GRR Martin's universe but in this first episode they chose a very human's angle. People think of Targaryens as Godlike because of their control of dragons but without them, they are just like everybody. We see all the main characters dealing with succession in a patriarchal society, the absence of woman consentement during pregnancy, jealousy and envy betweens brothers, dealing with mourning of loved one, hope in dream, sacrifice for power.

King Viserys : Don't ask me why but for some reason he reminds me a lot of Hashirama Senju. Dreamer, easy-going. He seems to not realise how many snakes are around him ready to attack. I love how the actor Paddy Considine plays a well-balanced character, who can take hard decision if needed I was touched by his grief. But as his brother noticed he is really naive about people...

Ah, the brother.... Daemon Targaryen: you can already tell he's going to be the star of this show. Matt Smith's talent is not a surprise for me, I've seen him already in the Crown when he was playing Prince Philip, the Queen's consort. And he already have this talent for playing haughty aristocrat, both attractive and annoying. Prince Daemon is much more rogue, impatient, with a taste for violence. I can't say yet if he is in my top tier because his first action was a big mistake. He was already his brother's heir, all he has to do was to wait and be nice with his brother and niece. But he celebrates his victory too soon and get kicked out. In the same time if he hasn't done anything they'll be no story right😅? So for now I'm like : ok I like his wildness, good villain vibe detected, I can feel the character is much more complex, but I need to see more because for know he's not the sharpest mind...

Rhaenyra : for now she is my favourite, it was easy to like her. She resembles Daenerys both physically and in her attitude. She has the same problem : being a women in a position where everyone is expecting a man. But contrary to her descendant she was not alone. She seems to have a loving family, wealthy and comfortable childhood inside the royal court. Power, dragon and affluence but for how long....? I can feel her life is going to be very difficult. No one is ready to accept her easily as heiress to the throne, will she stay close to her childhood friend Alicent, herself representing her family's interest? And also how will develop her closeness to her uncle Daemon? There is in one side their rivalry to the throne and also we know Targaryens and their openness to incest... so I'm ready to any morally grey situations... 😬

Princess Rhaenys and Lord Corlys : We haven't seen much yet but this couple is intriguing. Rhaenys is called the Queen who never was. Will she accept Rhaenyra becoming heiress to a title she once was legitimate for? And also why her husband is defending Prince Daemon so much during the council lol at some point I thought Daemon was paying his bills lol.

My critics : I was expecting more original scores. They probably choose to play safe for the first episode. GOT's theme is a signature. I think I've never skipped it during the 8 seasons because it emerges you into the universe and there is always tiny details in the opening credits, changing when the story progresses. I've enjoy listened to it again during the ending but I'm ready for a new show having his own identity, I'm expected an original opening next episode for House of the dragon.

To put it in a nutshell, it's an excellent start, I love the plot and actors I'm ready for more drama and bloodshed. And gosh how I missed dragons !🔥🔥🔥

Note 9.5/10

Episode 2

[aro-and-tired]

I just remembered something and I’m having sudden feelings

When I was a child, I read this book named The Ice Dragon, by GRR Martin (who also wrote a few children appropriate books, if you only know him from GoT). It’s a short book, I honestly sort of forgot about it for a few years until I remembered about it earlier today. I read it a lot of time, and loved it - even if I ended up crying every time I got to the end. Now I’m thinking back on it and I have a lot of thoughts. Heavy spoilers for the plot.

Basically the book talks about a child named Adara, who was born in the middle of a freezing cold winter and had blueish and cold skin. She never cried, not even when she was in pain, and showed very little emotions. She didn’t suffer the cold, and in winter she would play with little animals named ice lizards, who couldn’t handle the touch of most human beings but enjoyed hers because of her cold skin.

In winter, an ice dragon came from the north, and Adara had befriended it. She was the only one who knew about it, because ice dragons breathed freezing cold air and Adara was the only one who could stand to be around it.

Now there was a war, and Adara’s father (a farmer) wanted to move away to the south. Adara didn’t want to, and hid herself, and the ice dragon came to take her away to the north. However, as they flied, Adara felt like she could hear the voices of her family calling for her, and found herself crying and begged the dragon to take her back. In the end the dragon did, even if it was summer, and the ice dragon couldn’t handle the warmth. Adara’s farm was being attacked by the enemy’s army and their fire dragons, and the ice dragon fought them away to save Adara’s family, but the heat in the end killed it.

At the end of the book, you see Adara after a few years. Her skin is no longer cold, and she laughs and cries like all other children. In winter, the ice lizards come out, but Adara doesn’t try to touch them anymore, because now her body is warm and she would hurt them.

I always started crying when I got to the end of this book. I didn’t understand why. Adara had become a normal child, but the ice dragon was dead and she couldn’t play with the ice lizards anymore, and that was devastating to me. As a child, I almost never cried over media, I went through Mufasa’s death in the Lion King and every other sad moment in children media without problem, but this book destroyed me.

Looking back at it, I think about how unfair it feels that Adara changed. Adara’s original personality was very much that of a neurodivergent child, but her life wasn’t a bad one. She had the ice dragon and the ice lizards. She played with other children, and her family loved her, even if she was strange and apparently unfeeling. No one had asked her to change, but it happened. I wouldn’t say she should have just left her family to die at the hands of the enemies, but why did she have to “become normal” to do it? Why couldn’t she protect them, but remain cold and blue? Maybe there was no way for the ice dragon to survive, but why did its death also take away Adara’s own ice?

That ending hurt as a neurodivergent child who struggled to love people the way people wanted me to, even if I didn’t understand why. It hurts now as a neurodivergent and loveless adult. I hate this two possible views, either a cold child who would abandon her family to die or a warm child who would save them. You can be cold and loveless, and still protect the ones you care about. They are not mutually exclusive.

It reminds me of the people in the loveless survey who said they don’t understand how can a loveless person have friends if they don’t love them. You don’t need love of the warm or passionate kind to care for someone, or to be invested in their well being. You can be loveless but still be willing to fight tooth and nails for those you care about.

Just let us be cold. Let us be loveless. Let us play with our ice lizards. Some of us don’t want to be warm, and we shouldn’t have to be.

7x10: Death's Door

Fun Fact: Boris has only watched this episode once. It’s time to weep and watch it again. 

Then:

Bobby Singer, the best father the Winchester brothers ever had. 

Now: 

We get a CSI look into Bobby’s brain while Sam and Dean rush, panicked, to the nearest hospital. In his own mind, Bobby’s realizing something bad has happened. He’s bleeding from his head. Sam and Dean ask what’s happened, and he tells them he was shot. They tell him they would have noticed that, but he counters, “I didn’t take one here. I took one out there, in the real world.” 

The brothers are confused, and Bobby tells them there’s something they need to know, but he “can’t get at it.” He’s got to get the real Sam and Dean numbers.

The scene shifts to Bobby with his wife, Karen. They’re in their bedroom, and candles are lit all around. She has something to tell him. Bobby starts to remember this memory. He hears a distant storm, but the sky is clear outside the window. Bobby sees a boy running in the field though. He goes to leave, and flashes to working a case with Rufus. 

He tells Rufus he needs his help, but Rufus ducks into a building. Bobby sees the boy again. The boy tells Bobby, “God’s going to punish you.” (Chuck, I swear to FUCKING Chuck, you make me SO mad.) Bobby turns to see a broken glass of milk. The boy is gone so he heads inside the church. 

Once inside, the choir at the front of the church disappears, the lights go out, and Bobby meets his reaper. 

Bobby runs. 

And ends up back at his house where Sam and Dean are fighting over the better martial artist. 

He opens the kitchen doors to find his mother, distressed at his dirty appearance before dinner. He slams the doors shut. 

He’s with Rufus again. He, again, asks for help, but Rufus is working the case.

In the real world, Sam and Dean rush down the hospital hallway following the hospital staff who have Bobby. 

Bobby decides to ditch Rufus, but is attacked by a ghost. She twists at his heart. 

The brothers listen in as the hospital staff scramble to save Bobby as he crashes. 

Rufus stops the ghost, and Bobby torches her bones. 

Bobby’s comatose, but stable. The brothers wait. 

Waiting for Rufus outside a clinic, Bobby sees the kid again. This time he remembers him. Rufus interrupts though, and Bobby asks about what he saw when he thought he was dying. Rufus explains he had flashes of his life --and he wanted out. He tells Bobby he found the right door to escape by digging deep into the things one usually doesn’t want to think about. The way out is through your worst memory. 

Bobby tells Rufus that he’s dying and he needs to get some information to Sam and Dean. Rufus agrees to help, and tells him to concentrate on the worst of the worst of all his memories. 

He then asks Bobby why the ghost called him a heart breaker --when Bobby’s the opposite. 

The world shakes, and they’re back in Bobby’s bedroom with Karen. The mood is considerably different. She tells him she hates him. She tells him he knew she wanted kids when they married. He broke her heart, and she tells him to go away. “Just so you know, I’m sorry. I never stopped being sorry,” he tells his wife. 

Bobby tells Rufus that 3 days after this fight about having children, Karen was possessed. The fight was Bobby’s biggest regret. They never got a chance to get past this moment. 

(Sidenote: I feel like I’m just regurgitating plot because I REFUSE to feel.) 

Bobby opens the door, and walks into the light. 

And into a park in 1989. He’s still in his own brain. He’s playing ball with Dean. 

For Family Science:

Bobby starts looking for another door. Rufus wants to know why Bobby didn’t want kids. “My dad was a mean drunk, I figured I’d be just like him.” (I hurt.) Rufus says he’s just a cranky drunk. 

Bobby opens the door. He and Rufus address Bobby’s impending death and Bobby gets a brainstorm: he’s going to stop the reaper. 

In the outside world, Dean and Sam interrogate a doctor about Bobby’s condition. He’s not doing great. A man walks in and asks Dean whether Bobby’s signed up as an organ donor. Dean surprisingly doesn’t clock him. 

Dean DOES punch out a glass case, however. He storms outside and approaches a fancy car. As suspected, Dick Roman sits inside. The word “dick” is bandied about thrice, while Dean challenges him to fisticuffs. Dick doesn’t RISE to Dean’s taunts, but he is very COCKY as he sends Dean back inside to watch over the failing Bobby. 

In Bobby’s head, he finds a book with a big ol’ crucifix hidden inside. He and Rufus start their anti-reaper spell. 

Back at the hospital, Sam’s busy looking wistful.

Dean fills him in on Dick’s turgid presence outside. Sam fills Dean in on Bobby’s condition. It ain’t great. Bobby’s breathing on his own, but he’s still got a bullet lodged in his brain. Sam counsels Dean to prepare himself for goodbye. Dean’s...not open to that line of thinking. 

Bobby stalks through his house, preparing the spell while one by one the windows grow dark. He watches a memory of himself chewing out John Winchester over the phone, defending his decision to play with Sam and Dean instead of train them to hunt. “I know I ain’t their dad,” Bobby bites out as his parting line before hanging up. BOBBY ;_;

Bobby and Rufus finish up their anti-reaper spellwork. 

The reaper is UNAMUSED. He orders Bobby to examine the truth around him. Things are going dark. Photos and books are going blurry. In the real world, his brain is dying. He warns Bobby that he’s treading the short path to ghost-town. 

Rufus reminds Bobby that ghosts are GRR BAD and that if he stays, he’ll go vengeful. The reaper speaks up. “You got handed a small, unremarkable life and you did something with it. Most men like you die of liver disease, watching Barney Miller reruns. You've done enough. Believe me.” Uh. Thanks?

Bobby’s not following some reaper to the afterlife, though. “Because they’re my boys.” Determined, Bobby heads back to his childhood memory of a horrible dinner. His dad starts hitting his mom and Bobby shouts at his father. He was just a kid and his father hurt him and made him so terrified that he’d be like his father that he never had kids. “Well, as fate would have it,” Bobby says, “I adopted two boys, and they grew up great. They grew up heroes. So you can go to hell!” Excuse me. I just. Love this.

In the hospital, Bobby’s starting to show signs of life. They prep him for surgery. 

Young Bobby appears in the memory. As his dad assaults his mother again, young Bobby shoots him in the head with a shotgun. His father falls to the floor, a bullet wound in his head (just like Bobby).

Bobby’s mother responds by telling him that God’s going to punish him, and young Bobby heads out to dig an unmarked grave for his father. 

The reaper appears again. Bobby tries to race away from him. Light surrounds him. 

In his hospital room, Dean and Sam are awkwardly wishing Bobby a successful surgery. Well, Sam is talking to Bobby. Dean hovers in the background looking broken. Suddenly, Bobby wakes up! He writes something cryptic on Sam’s hand.

Bobby falls back. Smiles. Mutters, “Idjits.” And then he dies. The episode fades to the awful ringing of a flat heart monitor. Dean and Sam watch, helpless, as Bobby fails to be revived. 

For YOU ARE LITERALLY KILLING ME WITH YOUR FACE Science:

Bobby heads into his mind-kitchen and grabs some beers. The reaper returns and tells him it’s all fading away now. Bobby looks towards where Sam and Dean (his BOYS) are sitting. He realizes it’s a memory but, “glad I saved the best for last.” Bobby walks away from the reaper and towards the Winchesters. Sam and Dean bicker amiably over junk food on the couch as Bobby settles himself next to them. 

The Winchesters fade away mid-bicker. “Stay or go,” the reaper asks. “What’s it gonna be?” The episode closes on a ticking watch that abruptly...stops.

Don’t Fear the Quoter:

You’re either laughing because you’re scared or you’re laughing because you’re stupid

Kids ain't supposed to be grateful! They're supposed to eat your food and break your heart, you selfish dick!

You got the only genetic case of bullet in the brain I've ever seen’

Ansem defending his future wife from Master Xehanort m, they had a fight before Xehanort appeared, and is hurt very badly but wakes up and there’s apology smut, please *slides over my soul as payment😌*

Finally! Ansem's getting some love!

Ansem x Fem!Reader: Please Forgive Me

Warnings: angst, vanilla smut, and some fluff at the end

Rating: NSFW

You and Ansem lived a normal life together. At least that’s what you thought. You see, while you were just being happy with Ansem, he was working for Xehanort. Your grandfather. One day, you were reading a book and Ansem arrived home, somewhat beat up.

“Oh my god, what happened?” you asked as you ran to him. 

“It was...your grandfather...” he groaned. 

“How did he--wait a minute. Have you been working for him?!”

“I had no choice.”

“The hell do you mean you had no choice?!” 

“I’m his Heartless. Which means that I must work for him.” 

“Were you just using me so that my grandfather could have his way?”

“What?! No! I could never do that!” 

“Then why work for him?” 

“I’m sorry, angel.” You scoffed and walked over to your room. Ansem felt a presence in the house and followed you.  He entered the room and saw you on the ground covered in blood while Xehanort stood above you. 

“Are you insane?!” Ansem asked.

“What? She deserved it. After all, we can’t have her interfering with our plans,” Xehanort said. Ansem growled and started attacking Xehanort.

“What are you doing?! You’re supposed to be on my side!” Xehanort said. 

“That was before you decided to murder my wife!” Ansem yelled. They kept fighting until Xehanort lost the battle. 

“Grr...this isn’t over!” he said and disappeared through a dark corridor. Ansem panted and ran over to you. 

“(Y/N)!” he said and scooped you up in his lap. 

“Ngh...A-Ansem?” you groaned. 

“It’s me. Don’t close your eyes, okay? You’re gonna be okay. Just stay awake for me.” 

“I-I feel sleepy.” 

“I know you do. But don’t fall asleep.” You were fading in and out of consciousness and had a hard time listening to Ansem. The last thing you heard before falling unconscious was Ansem screaming your name.

~~~~

Ansem sat in the Gray Area, debating whether or not he should see you. Vexen was able to save you and was now waiting for you to wake up. Xemnas saw how scared his brother was and walked over to him. 

“You should go see her,” he said.

“Does she even want to see me?” Ansem asked. 

“I don’t know. But I do know that you two love each other and I’m sure that she’ll forgive you.” Ansem thought about it and walked over to your room. He went inside and saw you sleeping peacefully on the bed. He got flashbacks to what happened and started crying. He climbed into the bed and laid close to you. 

“I’m so sorry, angel. Please forgive me,” he whispered. 

~~~~

A few hours later, you woke up and saw Ansem sleeping next to you. You started playing with his hair, causing him to wake up.

“Angel, you’re awake,” he said. 

“Yeah,” you said. You sat up but winced in pain. You looked at your stomach and saw that you had stitches. You remembered what had happened and glared at Ansem.

“Angel, I am so sorry. I had no idea that he was in the house,” Ansem said. 

“Save it. You can’t undo what’s already done,” you said. 

“What can I do to make it up to you?”

“Nothing. The damage is already done.” Ansem sighed and left the room, leaving you to cry softly. 

~~~~

It’s been a few weeks since the attack and you were back in your home with Ansem. You locked yourself in your room, not wanting to see or talk to Ansem. No matter how many times he’s tried to apologize, it still didn’t make up for the lies he told you. You wanted to forgive him, but something inside of you was saying not to. You soon decided that enough was enough and went to go talk with Ansem. You walked out of your room and headed to the kitchen where you saw Ansem making your favorite food.

"Hey," you said. Ansem turned around and saw you.

"Hi. You doing okay?" he said.

"Yeah." You walked over to him and gave him a hug which he gratefully returned.

"I'm really sorry about what happened to you," he said.

"I know. I wanna stay mad at you but I know that you didn't mean for it to happen," you said.

"Can you forgive me?"

"Yeah. Just don't lie to me again."

"I won't."

"Good. Now let's eat. I'm starving."

(NSFW under the cut)

You and Ansem were in the bedroom, making out with half of your clothes gone. He trailed his kisses down to your neck and started sucking, making you moan softly.

"God, you have no idea how much I've missed you, angel. Missed you so god damn much it drove me nearly insane," he moaned. After he was satisfied with your neck, he trailed his kisses down to your aching core and started licking and sucking on your clit.

"F-fuck," you moaned. He smiled and continued his actions. You ran your fingers through his hair and tugged on it, wanting him closer. He could tell that you were close by the way your moans raised in pitch and stuck a finger inside.

"Fuck, Ansem! I'm gonna cum!" you moaned.

"Cum for me, angel. Make a mess for me," he said. You felt the coil in your stomach snap and you arched your back as you came all over Ansem's tongue and finger. After you came down from your high, he kissed his way back up to your lips and kissed you, making you taste yourself.

"Think you can go for another round?" he asked. You nodded and kissed him again. He lined himself up against your hole and pushed himself in.

"Fuck, you're so tight," he moaned. You gave the okay and he started moving slowly in and out of you. You moaned and hid your face in his shoulder.

"That's my girl. Fuck, you feel so amazing," he moaned. Pretty soon, the both of you came and you laid in each other's arms.

"That...was...amazing," you said. He chuckled and picked you up.

"Come on. Let's go clean up," he said. After you were cleaned up, you and Ansem laid in bed, cuddling each other to sleep.

[foxymoxynoona]

Hi hello foxy!! This is super late but I after like 5 read throughs of the last chapter of flux I have so many thoughts and I wanted to send them before u posted the next chapter!! I think what stands out to me the most right now is how much JK is hiding/messing up while also doing incredible well at taking care of Sasha. Like he’s had so many good boyfriend moments in the past couple chapters (helping with panic attacks, I love you so I stay, I’ll say for me you say for you, etc.) but also …

…he’s made so many mistakes (that he’s kept hidden)!! Like I’m shook that he still hasn’t told her about his time during the break (and I already mentioned how he keep saying he knows she hates secrets while keeping a big one) but also last chapter when he was telling his hyungs all that stuff about Sasha like 😬😬😬 AND THEN he sees her and Michelle fighting because Michelle was dumb & told someone things Sasha had told her in confidence and he thinks oh oops 🤦🏾‍♀️ BUT DOESNT SAY ANYTHING grr

Tbh I feel like JK may be using Sasha fragility as a way to escape having to have tough conversations/face some of the things he did and I’m not looking forward to the eventual explosion 💥. Also Michelle and Joon?!? who would’ve thought. OH also I know a lot of people think the hyungs were out of line (and they were!!) but I’m also not surprised. If my friend got their heart brutally broken, spiral and then get back with the person who did the heart breaking I would be very 🤨🤨🤨 as well - 🛸

oh and one final thing!! I don’t agree what JK did during his break isnt relevant to his relationship with Sasha esp because he’s still interacting with someone he slept with on a daily basis at work. I feel like with how jealous Sasha is and how fragile she feels right now that’s going to go over like a lead balloon when she finds out - 🛸 oh ps the last like 3 were from me but I think I forgot to sign the first two (pps sorry if my rambles don’t make sense!! It’s late & I am sleepy sleepy😴)

-------------------------

Your commentsa ll make sense to me despite the late hour! You are very much not alone in this take on things. You know me, I love to write complicated situations where there isn't an easy "you're the bad guy and she's the good guy" takeaway. I especially love "people's intentions are good but they fuck up the delivery" because i think that is a lot of human interaction.

It's interesting to me to read too the disagreement in the readers about whether the hyungs are overstepping/infantalizing or have a justified reason to be worried and insert themselves.

If Jungkook and Sasha were both all grown up after one month apart, there wouldn't be five books in this series 😂They definitely both have some mistakes ahead of them!

Hope you like the new chapter once it's up!
