[chiharuhashibira]

Haii!! ^_^ Can you make fluff headcannons of Sanemi when the reader is on her period and what he'll do for the reader when she has cramps and stuff or runs out of period pads (I'm on my period:()

𝓗𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓸!!

Good morning! It is 3am here XD

I hope you will feel better the soonest!

With that, here is a Sanemi HC wherein he takes care of you UwU

𝓜𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓵𝓲𝓼𝓽

𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒕 𝑴𝒆 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑵𝒐𝒘 𝑷𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐳𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐰𝐚 𝐗 𝐅𝐞𝐦!𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫

Content Warning: None! Full of fluff ^^

🌸𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐳𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐰𝐚🌸

❥ Even if Sanemi were the meanest Hashira, he would still panic whenever you had period cramps. The first time he saw you experiencing this, the man literally brought Shinobu home to make sure you weren't dying. That prompted Shinobu to explain to him what was actually happening to you. However, he still requested that a kakushi be on standby just in case.

❥ But now, Sanemi has overcome the "bringing home Shinobu or a Kakushi" thing. What he does right now is, whenever you have period cramps, he will try to remember every single thing Shinobu has told him.

❥ That would eventually lead Sanemi to deliver almost everything you need. Chocolates? He has that already. Hot compress? Already prepared. You want to sleep? The bedroom's already clear!

❥ Sanemi would make sure that you feel comfortable at that time of the month. He would be extra patient and sweeter towards you. One time, you had already used all of your pads; he made sure to approach the closest Hashira, which is Mitsuri. He hates talking to the pink and green-haired girl because he finds her annoying, but this time, he tried his best to talk nicely just to ask if she has extra pads that she can give you.

❥ The Wind Hashira would always massage your feet, and you loved that. He would also wrap you in a thick blanket and cuddle with you. Yes, you loved Sanemi's cuddles, especially at this time of the month.

❥ The man would give you kisses and, yes, speak sweet words to you whenever you felt so emotional, which only worsened your period cramps. He would kiss your forehead and tell you incessantly that he loved you so much. It's just that Sanemi seems to soften just to try to make you feel okay in an instant.

❥ Every morning, Sanemi would cook breakfast for you and ask how your sleep had been. He will always stay home whenever you still feel the pain, as he always says he wants to take care of you. And he does.

❥ Sanemi would always prepare warm baths for you. He would also take the initiative to help you take a bath whenever you felt weak. After that, he would dress you up, comb your hair, and give you massages.

❥ Sometimes both of you will be just on the engawa, with you lying on his lap and him running his calloused fingers on your hair. He loves you so much, and he will always remind you of that, ending that reminder with a sweet, sincere kiss on the lips.

"I love you, Y/N. I am here for you. Just tell me anything that I can do to lessen the pain. Okay?"

𝓘 𝓱𝓸𝓹𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓗𝓒 𝔀𝓲𝓵𝓵 𝓶𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵 𝓪 𝓫𝓲𝓽 𝓫𝓮𝓽𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓤𝔀𝓤

Thank you for trusting me with this HC, dearyyyy~ Good night from me now XD Time to finally sleep HAHAHA

ANYWAYS! Feel free to comment, reblog, and request!

Ja ne~

[moons-of-dewclan]

Out of curiosity, how many times has one of your favorites died? Darkpaw died once in Surfclan and I reset that so fast, I couldn't stand losing my sea urchin baby.

antler you're so valid. and with your question i'm about to confess something.... snff... after my first playthrough, i played up to moon 50 and then entirely restarted from moon 16?? i think?? AND DO YOU KNOW WHY!!!.. VANILLABRIGHT AND NETTLE d I E D. NOW is this absolutely doable and could that make for a great plot?? YES!! am i absolutely insane and unable to force my characters in an even slightly out of character direction- ALSO YES!! Lyre would have 100% just withered away. he's not well enough to trudge on with no support system. and,, i'm not well enough to write normally apparently LKASDLKN?? so i couldn't just write him recovering from that bc 'i knowww he couldn't' I FORCED IT ANYWAY and the result was a very inauthentic feeling (moreso than tailoring the events), and heavily depressing story where the main happy point was lyre dying of old age and reuniting with nettle. and i said 'wow i don't wanna draw this lmao' SO!! i decided to restart instead of just putting the comic down. and i transferred my cats over and i've been more careful with patrols. i love the drama that clangen can bring with random deaths, but i love my characters too, and my main enjoyment in story writing is writing characters recovering from or overcoming harshness, not just experiencing that endless pain. SO I DON'T.. WANNA HIT EM WITH THAT MUCH At least not that soon lmao HAHAHA (i am still Kind of Evil) i have ignored a few deaths bc they seemed weirdly out of pocket too tho. ONE OF THE KITS GOT EATEN BY MICE????? NO LAKSND

[paloma-ascends-into-hellfire]

Moments in Epic that live in my head rent free (in order cuz i'm cool like that)

"Nestor, secureHelenandprotecther"

"Penelope... Penelope... and Telemachus... I fight for us, I fight for us"

"But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a man become a MONSTER? "

"Forgive me"

"Six hundred men. Six hundred men under my command with only one goal in mind: make it back alive to our homeland"

"We're up, we're off, and away we go!"

"I see in your face, there is so much guilt inside your heart" [rip Polites]

The entirety of "Warrior of the Mind"

"You killed my sheep. My favourite sheep. What gives you this right to deal a pain so deep? Don't you know pain you sow is pain you reap?"

"My name is Nobody, Nobody, Nobody"

"Yes, you shall be the final man to die." "Wh-what? ...WATCH OUT!"

"Six hundred LIIIIVES at stake. It's just one LIIFE to take! And when we kill him then our jouurneyy's oooverrr. No dying OOOON us now. Defeat is NOOOT allowed!"

Like all of "Remember Them" but especially "They will not DII-EY-EYE IN VAIN! Remember them!"

"Who hurts you?" "It was Nobody, Nobody" "If nobody hurts you, be silent." "Don't go!"

"I am the reigning king of Ithaca. I am neither man nor mythical. I am your darkest moment. I am the infamous... ODYSSEUS!"

All of "My Goodbye"

"stOoOoOoOOOoooOoOoOrm!"

"at this rate we won't make it out aliive!"

"How much longer till our luck runs out?"

"you rely on wit, and people die on it, whoa-whoa."

"Hahaha! I am the wind, twisting and turning!"

"keep your friends close and your enemies closer (never really know who you can trust)"

"Everything's changed since Polites" [not the NAMEDROP]

"Just keep your eyes open..."

"Wake up! Wake up, Odysseus, they're open the bag, wake UUUUP!"

"I said to keep the bag closed, but you weren't compliant. If I had to guess, you're headed to the land of the giants!"

"OOOOODYSSEUS OF ITHACA! Do you know who I am?"

"but damn, you crossed a liIiIiIne."

"You are the worst kind of good cuz you're NOT EVEN GREAT! A greek who reeks of false righteousness, THAT'S WHAT I HATE!"

"Ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves! OURSELVES!"

"Ruthlessness is mercy-" "Die."

"ALL I GOTTA DO IS OPEN THIS BAG" "what."

Family members and RO'S reaction to MC on their death bed. Bring out the angst.

5 am agnst let’s goooooooo! I’ve been thinking about this long and hard. I didn’t know how to answer this for a while, but I think I know how now. Hahaha 😝

Finny: Crazy crying mess. He’d be in denial. He’d lash out and think there were be a way to fix things- until he can’t. Then he’d cry and curse the gods and then try to do everything he can for the MC, just so that he could spend as much time as he can with them. Instead of dying in bed, Finny would take the MC outside somewhere petty and meaningful to both of them. Probably a flower field if some sort and then he’d hold the MC and quietly cry as they pass on.

Thea: Would sit down and bring the box of letters she exchanged with the MC as children. She’d read them out loud and explain her thoughts at the time and what was going on in her life. When she’s done, she then pull out all the letter’s she never sent. The ones where all her real feelings are written. She’ll promise to write more even after the MC passes on because the love she has for them is timeless.

Linnet: She’d put up a front. She’s try her hardest to keep it together so that the MC can pass on without troubles or regrets. She’d put a front right until it’s time to say goodbye, then she’d be a mess. She’d confess all her affections, all her worries and regrets…but also how much she admires and appreciates the MC. She start talking about all the things she’s grateful for and she’d thank the MC for being alive and loving her. She promise to look after Alberich and Sieg for them and asks them to wait for her in the afterlife with a pinkyswear.

Medea: She’d cook the MC’s last meal and make sure it’s all their favorite things. She’d make sure they’re comfortable and have everything and anything they wanted. Then when it’s time to go, she’ll be honest with her feelings for the first and last time. She’d talk about her hopes and dreams-the ones she wanted to share with the MC and then say goodbye. But, if the MC was in any kind of pain, I’d think she’d be the one to ‘let them go’ peacefully. She’d want to do it with her own hands. Afterwards, I don’t think the MC would be alone for long.

Helios: Nobody would be able to find Helios. They’d think Helios dipped and abandoned the MC, but in truth, Helios would sneak in once the MC is alone and simply lie in bed with them. They’d want to try and imprint the feeling of the MC in their arms, remember every little detail, every little imperfection, the warmth and the smell. Afterwards, they’d have a tattoo of a little swan (the family sigil) right on their heart. A momento of their lover.

Eirik would be in denial. He’d try fighting the reality of the situation, he’d yell for a doctor or anyone to help the MC. But when he realizes there’s nothing he can do- he’ll break. The facade falls and Eirik becomes honest with this feelings for the first time. He’d be pathetic and beg the MC not to die and leave him alone. He’d finally say something along the lines of ‘I love you’. he’ll even be honest and say he might not be able to move on from this loss. Afterwards, he’d buildt a whole ship in memory of the MC.

Alberich: If Al had his way, I think he’d want to have some alone time with the MC. He’d pull up a chair and get their favorite book out and read, just like he would when they were children. He’ll hold off the tears and read the entire book until the MC ‘falls asleep’. Before breaking down and crying.

Sieghardt: I don’t think h’d show up, not unless someone forces him to. The idea of out living his youngest sibling and not being there for a majority of their live would eat at him to the point where he thinks he doesn’t deserve that spot on the bedside. Once the MC passes, he’d visit the their tombstone every single chance he gets. I don’t think he’d ever recover from the grief.

Thinking about that anon ask about young Amillow in the princess au.

After their arranged breakup tm Willow's view of the castle and The Princess/then Empress shifting over the years. That she must be exactly like the sort of person Amity has become over the course of school, cold, calculating and cruel, coming to dread it when she gets her apprenticeship with Snapdragon. Only to find when actually meeting Luz that... no she's nothing like that.

Full on expecting a castle full of people that are just "Amity at her worst" (and in fairness that would describe a lot of people there, like Amity's roommates) expecting that obviously The Empress will be the worst one there, meanwhile Luz is still Luz in all her gentle brightness in spite of everything that's happened, still shining in spite of all the pain. Hunter is -though simultaneously a bitey angry overprotective wet cat- a surprisingly massive nerd once he lets his guard slip for one second, and even Amity sucks reasonably less than she did before and just looks at her with nothing but a sense of overwhelming longing and guilt.

AW. LOVE ALL OF THIS. thinking about hunter in the context of willow and amity delights me tbh. willow initially being like "okay, i've heard you're either her boyfriend or just her friend and i Don't Trust Like That" & avoiding him, and then she sees them argue n is like Hello. & hunter is like omg willow you have issues with her too?? i'm dying to shit-talk amity PLEASE have lunch with me.

and THEN willow makes some passing comment to him like "i'm surprised she backs off of you so quickly honestly, she must be really scared of you???" and hunter is like hahaha nah she's all bark and no bite. well. these days, anyway.

willow: .....these days??

hunter: oh you should've SEEN what she was like when she first joined the coven. wait no who am i kidding. it's you. You Know . You Know Her Whole Deal,

Fun facts abt residents according to Ikevamp Radio (ヴァンなま) Part 4

Let's go with episodes 11 & 12!! Only 2 episodes since one was a bit longer. Anyways, LET'S GOOO!!!

Episode 11: Back in the studio w/Vincent & Sebas!!

Vincent sees Sebas singing “Can you celebrate?” a song by Amuro Namie, so he knows the song from the future

Vincent can’t get Sebas to pay attention to him, Sebas keeps singing until Vincent gives him a flick on the forehead

Vincent thinks Sebas is bored as he has created many lines & scenarios for both him and Vincent (flashback to episode 10) Sebas says that “Time is something you make for yourself”

They talk about June brides and wedding for a bit (not my fav episode tbh)

Sebas teaches Vincent the lyrics of “Can you celebrate?” (they sing the song together)

Morishi and Makki call Issac cute (this was when Isaac’s route was released in jp)

For the “Can you tell me… your name?” it was a bit different than usual. There were 4 options to choose from instead of 3, and the fourth was a line that combined the previous three statements into one. For example, Vincent’s provided lines were 1. “Don’t worry, I’ll be here until the morning” 2. “You can depend on me today, okay?” 3. “Pain, pain, go away” 4. A combination of the three.

The audience voted on option 4, so he had to say “(Y/n), depend on me til morning and then go away” or some other weird version. He picked and chose words from each line & rearranged them w/weird grammar (which I’m sure that was NOT what he was supposed to do but it’s funny so…)

Sebas’s chosen line was a combination of “Don’t worry. I will do my best to help you with your recovery” “It’s painful, right? You can depend on me until you recover” and “Do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck? It’ll lower your temperature”

So his finalized line was something along the lines of  “(Y/n). Don’t worry, for now, do you want to wrap green leeks around your neck?” & other variations (he always had some part w/green leeks) It doesn’t make sense but it’s hilarious

Afterwards, Makki was like “More people were being wrapped around by leeks than I’d imagined… haha”

Episode 12: feat. Ikesen Sasuke’s VA Akabane Kenji

Ikesen x Ikevamp Radio Collab!!!!

(I used to play Ikesen but wasn’t as obsessed so I’m not as familiar w it as I am w ikevamp)

Everyone is so chaotic in the intros & throughout (Akabane & Morishi just feed on each other’s energy and Makki’s like “Sorry—hahaha—I can’t follow… haha” ←he’s dying of laughter)

Even Makki was like “I’ve been thinking… Morishi and Akabane-san give off the same vibe” Akabane: “It’s true that our tastes are overlapping right now, but when I first met Morishi, he wasn’t like this. Now… he turned out like this.” Morishi: “Like what?” (offended)

They did a new section called “You’re a producer! Self-judge!” (nvm it's not a new section, they do it on ikesen radio but not on ikevamp) where the audience will think of lines that Sasuke will say if he was a vampire & if Vincent and Sebas are Sengoku-era warlords. The presented lines will be said by their respective voice actors

Sasuke’s line was “As research, can you let me have your blood? … That was a lie. I want it because it’s yours… So, can I?” 

Vincent’s line is “When I spend time with you, I forget that it is a time of war right now. Ah, I need to go. Please don’t be so worried. I promise I’ll be back to you, so believe in me.” Akabane says that his line is similar to what Mitsunari would say

Sebas’s line is “Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasasaasasaassu! Aaasas…!? Yes? What am I doing? … I’ll be heading to enemy headquarters, so I was energizing myself. Is something wrong?” LMAO as soon as the words showed up on the screen everyone started laughing. Akabane was like “Is ‘Aaasasaasasaassu!’ something Sebastian would say?”  Morishi: “That, Sebastian doesn’t say that. That’s something Morishima would say” HAHAHA

“Aaasasaasasaassu” according to Morishi, is a spell that is shortened from “Arigatou/Azassu!” (thank you). When you say this while pulling for gacha, you get good cards (we need to all try it)

“I love yu” skit w/Sebas, Vincent, and Sasuke!! Sebas and Vincent are relaxing in the thermae when Vincent discovers something coming from the water. Sebas describes it as “something that ninjas use to breathe when they dive into lakes.”

Vincent doesn’t know what a ninja is. Sebas explains what it is to Vincent. Vincent thinks ninjas sound cool

Sasuke pops out from the water, explaining that he came from experimenting with another wormhole. He introduces himself to the two residents, saying that he came from the Sengoku era, saw a rift in time and space, and ended up there, in another timeline.

Sebas, the history nerd, says “Sengoku era? So that means in that era, there are Oda Nobunaga, Uesugi Kenshin, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, & etc.” Sasuke: “Yes, of course. Also, Uesugi Kenshin is my boss” Sebas: “Please. I would like to hear the details. Please, take a seat. I am the butler of this mansion, Sebastian”

Sasuke: “Thank you for the welcoming atmosphere. I guess until the next wormhole appears, I will relax here… Just call me Sasuke.”

Sasuke enters the bath in his clothes, Vincent asks if he doesn’t need to strip. Sasuke: “Well, I don’t know when the next wormhole will appear.”

Sebas: “I had felt this since the beginning, but you give off a similar energy to me.” Sasuke: “What a coincidence. I feel that as well.” Sebas: “Dyun…gyun” Sasuke: “Zuban, zuban!”

The two repeat the phrases, each one becoming more dramatic than the previous, until Vincent stops them bc they’re “leaving him behind”

Vincent finally introduces himself to Sasuke, who gets excited that “he can meet another genius other than the Sengoku warlords” Sasuke: “If I were to describe this feeling, it would be… choberigu (チョベリグ, slang meaning extremely very good)” Sebas: “Our Master Vincent is gekimabu (激マブ, slang meaning very bright), isn't he?” 

Vincent: “Choberigu? Gekimabu?” Sasuke: “Yes, he’s gekimabu. So I was right. I feel a same energy off of you”

Sasuke gives them makibishi (caltrop) as a token of appreciation. Vincent is in awe of the caltrops, and Sasuke is happy that someone appreciates his caltrops. Says how Masamune doesn’t need it, proves how angelic Vincent actually is

Vincent: “Next time I see Will, maybe I should throw them to him?” (I LEGIT SPAT OUT MY DRINK) Sebas: “... He will be extremely sad, so maybe not.”

Vincent thought that it was cool that Sasuke had a cool nickname “Shippujinrai” so he tries to think of one for Sebas. Sebas: “to be given a nickname from two people I admire… it makes me feel embarrassed” 

Vincent: “Perverted butler!” LMAO IT’S CANON SEBAS IS A PERVERT

Sebas: coughs  “‘Perverted butler…’ while it is not incorrect, it may be weird to say that to myself. ‘Perverted butler, Sebastian.’ Can you say that?”

Sasuke: “I think it sounds pretty good… What about ‘three meals a day?’” Sebas: “That’s just a routine” Vincent: “I got it! ‘Versatile butler’”

Sebas: “‘Versatile butler’ I like it. Versatile butler, Sebastian.”

Sebas: “Master Vincent would be ‘Innocent Angel’” Sasuke: “No, he would be ‘innocent’ (天真爛漫, it means the same thing, just worded differently)” Vincent: “Hmmm… I want something that’s cooler…”

Sebas: “He may look like that, but Master Vincent’s strong in a fight, so maybe ‘Ready to fight (喧嘩上等 means they’ll take on any fight challenged)” Vincent: “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?” 

Sasuke and Sebas try to get Vincent to say it. Vincent: “Ready to fight, Vincent van Gogh! It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Sebas praises Vincent, saying he did a great job

Then a whirlpool forms in the waters, a wormhole, Sasuke gets ready to travel through space-time. Sasuke promises that they’ll probably be able to meet again

Akabane was surprised to see that the characters were naked and said “Ohh, so Shiro-sensei (the artist for Ikesen and Ikevamp) is the type to draw nipples”

So in the “van Gogh’s drawing section” Sasuke participated w/Sebas & Vincent. The theme was “Hollywood movie ‘Sengoku warlords vs Vampire’” and Akabane’s art was good? Like you can tell he drew Napoleon and Nobunaga. Makki’s one had a certain electric-type mouse Pokemon on the lower right side of his piece haha

In the segment, “Dyun, zuban… Your name…” (It’s basically “Can you tell me… your name?” but combining the two versions) Vincent’s chosen line was a combination of the lines “You’re gonna get wet. Come here” “You’re wet… Here, take my jacket” “I want to stay here until it stops raining”

He would say most lines properly, but some were weird like “Let’s get… wet together” (not in THAT way) or “The rain got wet, huh? Get closer and wear it” (literally it doesn’t make sense even in Japanese since the grammar was so weird, he just picked and choose words from each line)

Sebas’s line was a combination of “If you want to, do you want to do an aiaigasa (相合傘) with me?” “Come closer so you don’t get wet” “Don’t your joints hurt when it rains?”

“If you want… don’t your joints hurt?” “To not get wet, do you want to… do your joints hurt?” He always puts the “joint blah blah” line at the end it's so funny. There was also “Yoshihiko, do you want to do an aiaigasa? To not get wet, don’t your joints hurt?”

Sasuke’s lines were the combination of “... I’m worried about my caltrops. Sorry, lemme go get them~” “I had the caltrops out to dry but it’s all ruined…” “Are the caltrops okay… Caltrops…”

His was funny bc he would replace the caltrops w/the names so it would be like “I’m worried about (y/n)” “I had (y/n) to dry but… I have to go back” “(y/n)... It’s now all ruined…”

OVERALL, amazing collab I hope they did more but I only have 3 more episodes to watch, and sadly, none of the rest are ikesen/ikevamp collabs

Top 5 Elden Ring's demigods

Argh... Could you've given me any HARDER top to make? :') No matter who I put below 5th place, I will feel like a huge prick @_@ Because they all deserve some praise, and some love. It is just incredibly good writing. Well, fine then, let's try.

Five - Morgott!

I talked about him already. The absolute tear-jerker character, a member of oppressed minority, that is defending the very corrupt system that deems people like HIM worthless.... He made me cry (/srs ) more than once upon just this sentiment. He is very realistic, and very easy to sympathise with and feel bad for. He certainly radiates a giant soft spot, though (and not JUST because he has dad bod that is completely naked under his robes, hahaha). In a weird way, he reminds me of Asg0re, a character from my other fandom - a big "monster" King who did a lot of bad things on his way, and because of his mental wound, but in the end might melt upon a simple hug or be easily convinced. It is just not what a Soulsborne game would've let us experience, but... honestly, he has not only huge muscles, but also a huge HEART. I love this combination a LOT, it pulls the richest spectrum of emotions.

Four - Malenia!

She is such a beautiful and impressive boss.... ...that I never talk about her. x) I can't quite explain how my focus works, sorry </3 She scares me a little - and it is not even her fault, but the thing that casually claimed her body, because superior deities have nothing better to do I guess :/ She is holding up very well for someone who has to live in a constant struggle with the horror plaguing her very being. And for someone having to hold up as a warrior of her dear brother's interests despite her body rotting as she goes. And having to repeat 'I am Malenia, blade of Miquella' like a mantra, since Rot is infamous to destroy the memories, and she must not forget what and who she is fighting for.

"She deserved better" is an understatement, I'd say. Her personality shines through the 'influence' that has been ruining her quite well, I'd say. She is a strong warrior, very determined, but very full of honor and love at the same time. I say this in every other post about strong Soulsborne characters, yeah. True bravery is not lack of fear but going despite fear, true power is not being callous unbreakable wall but to still hold your weapon firm through struggle and pain, true personality is what you ARE and not what you are 'not', etc etc. It is always about the feelings.

Three - Godwyn!

I could not explain why he made it to this place very well, honestly. First, he stroke my weird spider-sense intuition. I was going into Elden Ring mostly in blind, and still keep whatever I can to be revealed as I go! Thus, I did not know anything about Godwyn besides the fact that he was the golden child (metaphorically and literally) that went down as sacrifice during Night of the Black Knives as one having his soul killed. And that he used to be a lovely person. But one day, as I was playing Elden Ring and progressing casually, from nowhere, for no reason, I started to think of this character. Again, for no reason, I was thinking of the 'Deep Sea' and imagining him becoming a mermaid (?), and healing/truly dying/letting new soul grow/whatever by returning to the sea. I even started crying, and I swear, those emotions felt like they were not even mine.

It felt very random, but you can't even imagine my surprise when that same day, I just coincidentally travelled to THAT location, and found him. And, coincidentally, he was posed like this with a mermaid tail. I take weird 'intuition moments' (dreams or waking) very personally as I have many of them (and funny enough, they always have to do with the 'sea' theme). No matter how I feel about this character in the future, but the weird "foretelling", "intuition" bond fixed my attention, so yeah.

He seems like a very loveable person, though... From narration standpoint, it does make the most sense that he of all people had to suffer this way. It just would not have had the same effect if someone less likeable/innocent had to go down. It is... sad, how much of this character is his tragedy alone. But, he befriended a dragon and bridged the gap between conflicting forces, and from what I gathered losing him specifically was what broke Marika, and Mohg named his new dynasty after himself AND Godwyn. Clearly, the guy was the best thing to ever have been associated with the Golden Order, and manifesting everything good about it within his personality alone. Whenever I bash the Golden Order as inherently corrupt thing, I just always think back on Godwyn as a confirmed exception from the judgement. And, of course, he would have enough "kindness" to spread death as new form of existence... despite the fact that his 'true' self would've probably dreaded to manifest living in death of all things.

Two - Rykard

I talked about this guy since the day ONE I've picked even remote interest in Elden Ring, isn't it so? @_@ Well, I still stand by what I was talking about. Tanith is absolutely justified for being obsessed with this guy. He is like uh... Aldr1ch but executed much better, or rather, in more sympathetic light? I for one honor the narrative of a character who has the GUTS, the S P I N E to sacrifice a lot, their morals included, to just get OUT of the corrupt (!) way their world works. And I have a feeling that so does Miyazaki. x) I think it is a twisted sort of bravery that we are lucky to never experience and only perceive through fiction. But, unlike Aldr1ch, who revels in his corruption and the horrible things he has to do, Rykard, 1) has a loving family and 2) hinted to have or have had sympathetic traits and simply lost his way from.... heheh.... biting more than he could chew... xd heheh... :drum emoji because I am a comedy genius:

But, in either case, ya'll are lucky that the guy is happily married. Ya'll would not survive the intensity of my thirst otherwise. It is just my rule to not touch married characters. I still admire the guy though. Not to mention the fucking UNREAL AWESOME FUCKING DESIGN, one of the best I've seen ANYWHERE, and him having my favorite theme in entire Elden Ring. Like, it was legitimately hard to live down the crisis of him being "taken", because this guy is really loveable, both as a man and as a monster.

One - Ranni!

Honestly, I always liked the mysterious aura, the clairvoyance and the uhhh... I guess, machiavellianism of this character? "Ends justify the means" character who does some unforgivable things but believes there is no other choice, and the grander purpose is more important. But, she has so many layers. She stepped away from her mother's teachings yet still created a badass illusions to protect her and clearly loves her forever, she has trust issues but in the end needs true friends and true kindness (something even an idiot like Seluvis can see!).

You could see it hurt her to do all that, but whatever freedom could be was worth it. She is just a very complicated character, that goes above and beyond. Letting her own body be killed is badass but understandable, since her body was inextricably tied to the Golden Order, as an Empyrean. Letting her somewhat-brother who was a genuinely good and radiant and loveable person be killed? That's a bit... more drastic... And so on. Indeed, she IS like Rykard in how far she had to go, and how much she had to sacrifice, but nonetheless I uh... would not say she lost clarity of her mind like him? It is interesting how by Dante's Divine Comedy though, Herecy is associated with fire but only on 6th level, yet it is treachery that is considered to be THE sin of sins, and it is the lowest level, and associated with ice, like her element. I am thinking about this very often @_@"

Honorable mention - Radahn!

Sorry, but I love the guy, despite lack of deep discussion (and becoming a mascot of the most toxic fans). This is ADORABLE that he learned Gravity Magic just so he could still ride Leonard. He appears to be such a goofy dumbass, wholesome person in the "wrong" way, opposing a character that is actually likeable and loyal to the things and people that arguably never deserved it?

But you know I am a huge fan of Rom Bloodb0rne, right? He gives off the exact same 'person that seizes and conceals the horrors of the cosmos from humanity, although their personality and intellect are gone' vibe. It is just... that same vibe of a "silly" character, the comic relief, that turns out to either face a tragic fate or reveals a much deeper personality. He is simple and complicated at the same time! And, well, him having been such a legendary and impressive warrior that so many people gathered just to give him honorable death. This is somewhat impressive. He was actually a very close tie with Malenia.

Hakuoki Souji Monologue

Sorry this is a day late, but I got carsick yesterday in the evening... so I ended up not translating last night just because of how nauseous I felt. The only time that doesn't happen apparently is when I'm in a car after getting off a plane... which makes driving and sitting in a car for more than 20 minutes a real pain in the ass as this happens all the time.

Also, I forgot to mention this, but I've got raws of two of the 15th anniversary short stories that were published in the latest B's Logs. The first is with Heisuke, Harada and Shinpachi, while the second is with Sannan, Sakamoto and Yamazaki…. if anyone's interested in translating them, dm me, though know that I only provide raws for this type of content on a a first come, first serve basis.

Anyway, I ended up choosing one of the old monologues to translate this week cause I'm pretty busy right now... next week I plan on translating a Halloween SSL story, though I don't know where it came from.

薄桜鬼～回奏録～ Hakuoki Monologue - Souji

Translation by KumoriYami

Come sit here for a while, come here, sit next to me. I like loving like the sky like this. Just like that, I keep chasing the fleeting clouds with my eyes. The sound of the wind rustling the leaves, the smell of greenery. The cool sounds of the bubbling stream. Feeling all of these feels somewhat natural for me. What's with that expression, do you want me to say that it's surprising, that's a bit rude, isn't it.

Hahaha, just kidding, you always react so honestly, so I can't help but want to tease you. What were we talking about, ah yes, the sky, when I look at the sky, I feel that everything won't stay the way it is. Under such a sky, no matter how much I struggle, everything will disappear like the clouds.

In the past, my job was to kill people, and if necessary, it didn't matter if I died. All I wanted to do was do something for Kondou-san, but that was it. But now that my body has become like this, all of my hopes have vanished. I didn't want to admit it, but I wanted a new strength. You know why. In the end, the shadow of this deadly disease still hasn't been removed from my body. Look, it's really something that can't be helped.

Ah, you have that expression again, but there's nothing I can do about it, right? Humans will inevitably die someday, the only difference is if the dying will happen sooner or later. The people I killed probably wanted to live longer. It'd be too convenient if I, who had taken the lives of others, could escape from the shadow of death.

That's why it's fine. I know that's the way it is. Why am I talking to you about this? It's because I want to tell you about what I like/one of my favourite things.

Perhaps from today onwards, when you look up at the sky again, you'll think of me and remember what I said.

So long as you're still living under this sky, you will never forget me. In a sense, this can be considered a cruel gift that I am giving you.

Hahaha, is that what you hope for? Thank you for saying that. But, it's not like I'm going to suddenly die today, so there's still time.

During this time, I'll tell you many stories so you won't forget me.... while we look up at the sky like this.

I'm pretty sure HIjikata's and Heisuke's monologue for these particularly dramas haven't been translated yet...

[arytha]

Chu Tianshu thought for a while: "Are you sure nothing unexpected happened yesterday?" "Yesterday..." Lin Huai thought for a while, "The NPC who assassinated me seems to have drank my blood... Could it be that he has mutated?" "It makes sense." Chu Tianshu said, "I'll find him after I've settled this. As for you—you stay home for me." Lin Huai: … "Why do you have to lock me back?" he asked. "You know that if I want to run, I can run away at any time." "Then I'll take you back." Chu Tianshu carried the wrench and squinted his eyes, "Don't say such irresponsible words! Do you know that I killed you for an afternoon, almost killing you until i have a psychological shadow..." "Actually," Lin Huai said slowly, "I can also willingly and obediently... stay at home." Chu Tianshu: …

Lin Huai raised his chin and opened his hands: "Hey, do you want to play a game?" "what game?" "I'll fall backwards from here now." Lin Huai said, "You can try to catch me, or you can try to do an experiment." "Because of my serious injury, I will be divided into many mes, many many mes." Lin Huai looked at the sky, "Then, after you find the real me from those people... Then tell me this fairy tale. Then After this, if you win—" "I'll just listen to you and stay at home obediently." Lin Huai said, "Is that okay?" He glanced at Chu Tianshu out of the corner of his eyes, and the latter smiled fearlessly when he saw the look in his eyes. "It's quite a sense of ceremony..." Chu Tianshu said, "Okay." Lin Huai burst out laughing. He opened his arms and fell straight from the beam that was 20 meters horizontally and 10 meters vertically away from Chu Tianshu. The whistling wind blew past his ears, in the strong sense of weightlessness and the fear of landing. He heard his body make a "bang" from the collision. A dull sound. He knew he was supposed to break and fall apart. Every inch of his bones would break, and a lot of blood would pour out. His body will be reshaped after getting enough nutrients, and his hundreds of replicas will slowly crawl out of every drop of blood. But he was not afraid. He looks forward to all the chaos, all the pain. However, what greeted him was not the concrete floor, but the warmth of another person. It took him ten seconds to realize that he was in someone's... arms. With sweat, with wind, with air, with sullen... arms. "Hahaha, hahaha..." He laughed loudly, unabashedly, utterly insolent, terribly excited. Then he stretched out his hand, savagely, and reached out— Hooked the man's neck. "I lost." He hugged the man's neck and said almost viciously. The gambler who is always winning, said, he lost. But on that laughing face, there was no depression, no sadness, no weakness, and no timidity. After laughing, he hooked the other person's neck and rubbed his face into the other person's arms contentedly. Delicate roses wither when they get too close to the heat, but he doesn't. He heard the heartbeat of "dong dong", felt the heat of sweat, his tightly clasped hands, and the fear and happiness as if he was dying. At that moment, he was extremely grateful that he was a human being. The man hugging him did not speak. He couldn't help but look up. He guessed that this person's eyes might be a little sullen, a little panicked, or a little bit, the pain and discomfort of his arm being hit by the high-speed fall... He pondered his thoughts and thought about what might happen to him. reaction. He is not a person who likes to figure out what other people think. Even if there is, it is never for the purpose of "wanting to know what this person thinks of himself." But he was happy to do it to this man at this moment. To his surprise, or perhaps to his surprise, this man overturned all his speculations. He held him, he looked down at him, his face was cold, his eyes were deep, and there was no smile, as if he was some strange creature. —Did he guess I was going to jump off? What is he working on? What am I to him? - What is he thinking now?

The many questions made him hot, so he smiled. "I'll stay home for the next week—until the school festival," he said. "And you—have to tell me all your stories." He meant something. After a long while, the deep eyes that stared at him finally slowly, slowly burst into a little smile. "Okay." Chu Tianshu picked him up and said, "I'll tell you a little duck story..." Lin Huai: … Chu Tianshu: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk in the temple... Hey! Don't break free from me, go by yourself!"

Ok resubmitting this. post. anyways aaaaaaaa this will Always get me. the buildup to this 🥺🥺🥺

[thirteen-cats-in-a-trenchcoat]

Hahaha it's alex rider oclock

(thank you for boarding the angst train, next stop pain city)

What if (for the mission it was SPECIFICALLY requested) John had to kill yassen before John left?

(everyone is ooc and I have no idea how to write and this is not proofread)

----------------------———

"Cossack"

A shiver ran down Yassen's spine while he tensed immediately, the unmistakable feeling of a gun being placed against his neck was not one he had wished to relive, and certainly at the hands of... John.

His mentor, the one he is doing everything for. The one person who he had left, the one who understood him. John, the man who'd take him under his wing. His friend

But while staring at those cold eyes, Yassen looked for, not mercy, but regret. He knew he was to be killed, but at least, at least give him the blessing of having John at least aknowledge yassen as his mentee. But yassen could search for hours, but to no avail, as John held a firm and almost cruel gaze.

It was not John whom yassen had met tonight, but Hunter.

"you are aware of the circumstances, I presume, Cossack" Hunter cooly spoke, barely above a whisper but his words struck Yassen with the force of a machine gun.

The use of Yassen's code name felt so... Wrong. It felt disconnected and distant, this wasn't the John yassen knew.

Yassen nodded, not trusting himself to speak. He... He couldnt die, not after everything he's been through and forced himself to go on for the sake of staying alive.

Not at the hands of his friend mentor.

God, not like this.

"then, I wi- oh, no, fuck, Yassen, I'm sorry" Hunter John's voice faltered, he cast his eyes downwards, but did not lower his gun.

"Wait," yassen thought to himself, "this shouldn't be happening, he's always meant to be put together and in control ... This isn't it. He's meant to be on my side, he's... Is he not better than SCORPIA? "

"prove it John... Put the gun down," Yassen's voice was calm, but was a scared lilt to his voice, his facade was slipping.

".... You know, I can't do that, I have to do this, executive order." John spoke softly and full of regret. He still held the gun against Yassen's neck, and despite standing behind him, Yassen could just make out his mentor's shoulders dropping slightly.

"I-i am sorry, Yassen, I truly am."

"But I thought you cared. John-John, I trusted you! You're meant to be better! You were meant to be better than SCORPIA"

John closed his eyes as a tear rolled down his cheek, and shifted his arm, weighing the gun in his hands, knowing the consequences of the action he was about to take, to his mentee brother, then

BANG

Thud

Yassen dropped to the floor, but was caught by John, who clutched him in his arms, watching the blood quickly pool around him. John could only watch in horror as Yassen's shirt became soaked in the red blood that should never have been spilt to begin with. The same blood that ran all over the ground and over John too as yassen lay on him, his eyes dilated, and becoming duller as he took every ragged breath.

"John..." coughs raked Yassen's body and specks of blood dotted his mouth "I guess it was given I was to be back stabbed and killed by the one I called a friend. No one really, as you know, live very long in our line of work, and I practically dug my own grave by letting you get close to me. But, I am still glad to have met you. No matter how much people hurt each other, caring for one another is never a waste... In a way, I am almost glad I am to meet my end with you, dying isn't too bad if it's by your hand. It hurts, it still does, but at least I die knowing the truth. And you care enough about me to let me die a relatively painless death....not many would give that mercy... Not to me"

"God, oh yassen, don't- this is wrong, so, so wrong" John could barely see, tears obstructing his vision, and he started to choke up. The gun felt awfully heavy in his hand, and the weight of being a traitor to a child who trusted him.... Saw him as a friend. And what did yassen do with that? Use it right against him? What made him better than any other Scorpia member indoctrinating a child to be their operative?

A child alone in this darkness.

"just, look at the stars, Kid, hold a little longer, I'm sorry" the words tumbled from John's mouth as the guilt clawed at his insides.

Yassen looked at John with some difficulty but continued to speak

"we both know... I don't have long left... It's not your fault, don't worry... Coming here was a death sentence, at least... I won't die alone, and I have a few happy memories to look back on... "

"if only I had more time, and if only we were not here, anywhere else, just not here, besides, is it really dying if you haven't lived since 14"

And with those words, Yassen's eyes flickered shut, and his breathing slowed to a stop, while John practically yelled his apologies, but it was too late.

Yassen was dead. Gone. Forever

He hadn't even had the chance to live and he was dead.

In that moment, John despised them all. Rothman, three, kurst, he abhors them and everything they stand for. But above all, he detested Blunt. Fucking Blunt, just thinking of him, and how calm he was when he ordered a kill on a child. A child. Practically John's child. Thinking of that smug bastard made a bubbling anger rise inside John.

John could only hold his aquaintance mentee friend brother in his arms as he felt the warmth slowly drain Yassen's body. The blood pooled on the floor and drenching both their clothes began to grow cold too, Yassen was really.... Gone.

Those now closed eyes should be open, but even when they were they were cold... And broken pits always lost in thought. Yassen deserved the chance to be happy, to be able to light up with joy but had never, will never have the chance. John knew he'd never seen yassen truly happy, and never will.

For the second time, john weighed the gun in his hand. He was unnaturally competent with it, as are all Scorpia operatives. If he took the gun and... No, he had to see the whole mission through, and keep up the cover. If not for himself, then for yassen.

John clenched his eyes shut and held yassen against him, until all his warmth, was gone, but till then, John would stay.... Just lingering a little more.

And hunter would leave at dawn.

[stormhearty]

Hello, storm, are you ali right? I hope so, because I've just read the last part of "Pushed to the Edge" and I've been staring at the wall since I finished reading it.

As a good lover of angst, I have to say that this ending broke my heart into pieces. And I don't even know where to start, but here we go!

I don't know what I felt when I got to the part where Azriel was listening to the inner circle being tortured and he was trying to reach them and couldn't. My heart ached the moment I read it. My heart ached the moment Nesta and Cassian screamed for each other, Feyre and Rhys. But I remembered all the moments when the reader begged to be heard, and was ignored and dismissed as nothing. As for Elain, I confess I thought she'd been killed, not that she was still alive, and nothing compares to my surprise at the moment she was stabbed, but again, here I am without reaction (rumor has it she looked like the Cheshire cat smiling). Could I feel sorry? Yes, but I remember her lying about her powers and as Eris said: what for? To win Azriel's affection and be seen, while Y/n was left in corners and erased like an unwanted stain on a sofa? But I'm not going to put all the blame on her, because even though she was a big idiot and a jerk, the whole Inner Circle had a hand in breaking our beloved reader (especially Az). And Azriel? Being tortured and used to help destroy Prythian was so I can't find words, because it will weigh heavily on him and how he failed as a companion and protector. And I confess I felt my soul weep when he saw her die for the second time, even though the first wasn't in his arms, and the second was the final one and it was in his arms😭 I didn't cry so much for his loss, but for her decision to die, but I can't see a place where she would live with her actions, even under the darkness. I'm not going to lie, I wanted to cry a lot when he saw that she was dying, my foolish heart can't take something like that, even though I know he deserved it and I reinforce what Kosechi said "You all never deserved it…"

Don't touch me! My Roman empire was thinking about Helion after the end, because even though he didn't appear, I kept thinking about how he felt about everything the reader was doing. I confess that one of my biggest fears was having to read about him here, since my heart couldn't bear to see him destroyed watching Y/n, but my imagination chased me and I just wanted to hug and comfort him😭

Thank you, Storm (that suits you as you brought a storm to me, causing my little boat to be shipwrecked) for giving us something as distressing as this story💖 it will have a place in my heart.

Note: maybe some words don't come out in the context I meant, because my English is a translator💀😭

@favsrachz

Hahaha!! I am doing great! I am super excited about people's reaction to the final part of "Pushed to the Edge"! And it looks like people are enjoying the twists and turns of the last part!

I so much enjoy reading your reaction to this last part, my dear!! It is a rollercoaster of emotions -- I really wanted to play with that. Reader getting her revenge against the IC, against Prythian, against Azriel. I wanted to have reader get her just dues with torturing the IC, letting them hear each other's agony and pain, when they couldn't do the same for her. That is their torture -- to be reminded of what they couldn't do for her.

And no! Haha! Elain didn't die (unfortunately). Reader wouldn't let her get away with it so easily with death . She wanted her to live and regret and have her family hate and dislike her for the rest of her eternal life.

And Azriel, being tortured and used was a small touched. Many people said that it would be interesting to see how far the inner circle would do to get her back, to show their devotion, to show their regret-- and Azriel's part shows that. He would do anything for her at that point.

And your right, reader wouldnt be able to live with herself knowing that she was a part of Prythian's destruction. You'll find out more of readers thoughts and insight and decision of all that in the epilogue

And Helion! My dear Day High Lord! I am and will write about that in the epilogue! The aftermath of this part will be written in the epilogue! Please do look forward to it!

And no! You are fine! I understood what you were trying to express and I have to tell you thank you so much for your support for this series!

And Storm is such a cute author nickname! Thank you ❤️❤️

2 and a half weeks now since my Ritalin was prescribed. Still can't get it filled, despite calling and re-inputting it constantly.

I'm miserable. I can't focus on or enjoy anything so I kind of want to die. Thankfully I was prescribed a fast-acting anxiety med so I can at least mildly sedate myself when I start freaking out about how fucked up everything is, but.

Oh my god I just want the medicine that will make my brain work right. I found some bottles with spare pills from previous prescriptions, and I've been using them sparingly. When I take them, I feel a whole lot less like dying, like I will never do anything useful or important or worthwhile on this planet because my brain is fundamentally broken. But I'm running out. And I still can't get my prescription.

At this point my options are keep sedating myself until I don't care about the terrible rabbitholes my brain keeps going down when I don't have ADHD meds (the options for sedation being alcohol, essentially Benadryl, and a medication that specifically warns not to take it for more than a month because it hasn't been studied longterm, hahaha no weed is legal in my state even though it would do me so much good), or just fucking... cross my fingers and hope? Some bureaucracy will figure out some arcane process that will FINALLY, FINALLY get me a month's worth of meds? And then probably fight that same battle again the next month, and probably fail at it for several more months... How can you not want to kill yourself under those circumstances? I'm too exhausted to be furious.

The first time I took Adderall was the first time I experienced being able to sit quietly without doing anything interesting and not feeling almost physical pain. It was genuinely incredible and revelatory. It made me realize the people who made me do that over the years weren't actively trying to hurt me, they just DIDN'T KNOW. But also having the clarity and calm that ADHD meds gave me taken away, and having to fight to get it back, when they absolutely know that our disability itself makes it so hard to do... I am actually in hell.

[caterpills]

Shall I continue???? Btw I totally called that “the boy” was Alex super early and I was thrilled to be right hahaha. I’m dying to know what Henry did when he went back to his hotel. He had to have sobbed, right? Or did the thing where he was trying so hard not to cry so he was like hiccuping and sitting on the bathroom floor trying to strong arm his way through his pain. As a person who absolutely tries to pretend I don’t feel like dying when I am emotionally feeling like death would be a kinder way, the bathroom floor is where I tend to end up. Which is so weird! But that’s apparently my emotional comfort zone. Also, “you can’t be in love after two weeks.” Henry I’m gonna find you and not kick your ass but maybe spill a glass of wine on you at an event where you can’t leave to change. You CAN be in love that fast, it’s rare and you lied to your Alex! That is cruel. Oh also I’ve been desperate for new books so thank you for listing real books I’m going to look into them. I adore fic but I need to read books too. Somehow I don’t think it would go over well at Christmas dinner if someone said “what have you been reading lately?” And I said “Henry getting railed all over Europe. You?”

😭😭😭😭 I was not expecting more!!! MY FRIEND, you are so KIND.

I had hoped clocking "the boy" was an early giveaway, and so pleased you caught it! Eagle-eyed readers, I see you! Also gosh, Henry, my little prince. I love him so, and being so in denial about love is such an honest thing to get worked up over. And probably sitting on a bathroom floor, you're so right. Also, thank you about the real books! (I totally understand about not wanting to explain to family about reading fic. It takes a special sort of creativity to be vague about it!!) I'm first of all not clever enough to come up with book titles, hence using real ones that Henry and Alex pick up and discuss! I wasted all the book title creation on making up the names of Henry's books (which are unfortunately not real, such a bummer, and somewhat inspired by other books so not all me. His other two books, not talked about often in the fic — The Logic of Ghosts and A Moment, Apart — are inspired from Wonders of the Invisible World by Christopher Barzak and the *song* A Moment Apart by ODEZSA)

And now that I have YAPPED more than necessary, thank you again!! Back to my writing cave to fix broken hearts!! ❤️

[rwqv]

christmas cheer

or, rev tries to write

a quackity x reader for @wimbledonsoot (because there is not enough 😢)

event organized by @grey-rambles ^_^

cw: swearing, mentions of quackity’s scar, fighting (verbally and physically)

yoooo hahaha hiiii sorry for the wait im just really bad at timing and i still got it out though so hahahha hi

————

“Shit!” Quackity yelled at the top of his lungs. “You bitch, I am going to fucking kill you-”

Quackity looked at you with eyebrows furrowed, and you’d think if he looked at you any longer you’d catch on fire.

You smiled. “Shouldn’t have left Boner sitting out all alone in the rain, poor poor Boner. Do not ever try to steal my shit again.”

The pile of bones left from Boner’s corpse trembled and clacked together in the downpour of rain.

Quackity gritted his teeth. “You’re gonna fucking regret this.”

Months passed. You moved into a house in the middle of nowhere, leaving no trace of where you went. People came by your house whether to talk, trade, or just hand off supplies. You quickly forgot about Quackity’s threat, as you had heard from the people passing by that he got his ass handed to him against Technoblade. You feared nothing from his vague and empty threats.

Until one day, the sound of crackling reached your ears while you were fast asleep. You opened up your eyes only to see your entire farm, your front lawn, and part of your house was blown up. You sprinted outside, it being around 6 AM, to find everything you had been working on in ruins. You were furious, to say the least. The anger almost fueled you to just blow up yourself, until you found a little note not too far away from the wreckage.

Merry Christmas! How do you like the new renovations? Your house was looking quite boring, so I decided to spruce it up a bit ;)

Meet me ASAP. Las Nevadas. My office. I’ll be dying to catch up with you.

-Q

That petty bitch decided to pull this on you. You quickly grabbed your sword and pickaxe (for good measure) and set out for ‘Las Nevadas’ with the help of Tubbo.

As soon as the goat hybrid led you to the sandy hills, he let you marvel at what you were seeing on your own. Luminous signs, advertisements, towering structures, beautiful waterfalls and the cow farms were piercing your eyes, almost too much to take in at once. You stood there a while, gawking at the myriad of sights you were bearing witness to, until Tubbo looked back at you and snapped you out of it.

“Hurry up! It’s getting late, and navigating through the woods in the dark is a pain in the arse.” Tubbo whined.

Completely ignoring his complaints, you tentatively asked, “How is Big Q?”

Tubbo then half-assedly responded, “y’know”

“No, I don’t know?” You said.

“Y’know,” He once again responded, but before you could ask him what he meant you reached the doors to his office.

BANG BANG BANG!

You knocked on his door with your fists, almost punching the door. Q had no right to do that to you.

You then heard a sigh, and a shuffle, then followed by a sing-songy voice sung out by who obviously had to be Quackity, “Come in!”

Jesus. You collected yourself one more time before slamming the door open, taking in his room in entirety.

His walls were offwhite with gold pillars running through the walls, shining bright. Bookshelves lined around his desk area, which was facing away from the massive window as a wall, letting the sunset light breathe out into the surrounding areas. The Christmas lights and the tree with gambling coins on it gleamed so bright you’d think it was a star. The marble ground contrasted nicely with the red carpet leading down a straight line right to Quackity’s desk. You finally looked at him to take in the final piece of the puzzle. His hair was longer, a beanie no longer being able to hide the absolute mess his hair was. His face was tainted with a massive scar across his face, leaving one of his eyes blind. His dress shirt was half unbuttoned, revealing the necklace with 2 rings on them, both shining either orange or purple. His wings were out for the first time, yet they did not look healthy at all, since when you knew Quackity was Vice President, Schlatt would clip his wings in a desperate act of power. His feet were up on the desk, him obviously smug and reclining about your obedience to come here at his orders, almost like a dog.

“Oh, I see you’ve come to see me?” He asked calmly.

You were absolutely not having it. “You wrote it in your note, since, yknow, you blew up my fucking house.” you spat out.

“But I did not, I only blew up your front lawn!” He smiled, revealing the one gold tooth he had around the area where the massive scar was located.

You stomped over and grabbed him by the collar. “Now listen here, Alex.” You said with poison in your voice. “You’re going to repay me twofold in property and emotional damage, as well as beg for forgiveness from me. Got that?”

He chuckled. “No.” He simply responded, then broke into hysterics.

You were beyond furious at this point, as your eyes quickly darted to his chest, where the two rings on a string necklace hung. Quickly snatching the necklace, you secured it in the palm of your hand as he then started to bare his teeth.

You, then having a higher sense of pride, then said, “Tsk. Maybe this time you’ll beg for these two rings back. They seem so special to you, as you hold them so close to your heart.” You mocked him.

“Listen here, dipshit.” He growled out, “I don’t think you know how this works. You should be the one paying me for Boner, as well as for the trouble that you put me through.”

You then chuckled, mocking his tone, “No.” You then started fake laughing. “You damaged most of my property, incomparable to a pile of barely sentient bones.”

Quackity grabbed your collar in turn, and with a fiery red in his eye he slapped you across the face. “He was my everything, and you just mercilessly killed him.”

You both now holding each other's collars, and with a red mark across your cheek now, started sparring. You both didnt let go of each other’s collars, instead taking the closeness as an advantage.

You grab his hair that wasn’t inside the beanie, and yanked hard, bringing him to his knees. Yet, as he was still holding your collar, you got pulled down as well (not mentioning the fact that he grabbed onto your legs and pulled) and both of you started to try to grab anything to get back up, letting go of each other's collars. You got up first, finding his desk refuge as you lifted yourself up. Quackity, in turn, staggered up, yet he did not use his desk to lift himself up. He got himself up, then tripped on himself, falling down. You laughed at him as he staggered up again once more. Now, he was even more angry, grabbing his sword from his desk and he was looking back at you, with his sword in his hand.

You in turn, grabbed the pickaxe out of your inventory in an act of desperation, and he seemed to pause his actions for a moment as he stared at the pickaxe in a mix of anger, hate, and fear.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Quackity asked, eyes squinting at you.

“C’mon and fight. Or are you too scared?” You mocked, a smirk plaguing your face.

He growled at you, then starting to swing his sword, he grunted, “Fuck you.”

Your pickaxe and sword clashed together, and you two ended up in a position where the pickaxe and sword were stuck together, with your back facing the wall and Q in front of you.

You could do nothing but try and budge your pickaxe, which did nothing, on account of the fact that neither one of you wanted to let go as to give the other the advantage.

You stared at each other for a good while, slightly shifting, moving around to hope to escape from this, yet none of you could budge.

“Fuck you.” You quickly muttered out, hoping to beat him down with words.

“Go on and try.” He gave you a half-assed smirk.

You stared at him for another two seconds, letting him know about the fact that, you in fact, weren’t laughing at his joke. Finally, wanting to spite him, you closed the gap between you and him with a kiss.

“Jesus-” was all that you could feel from him saying it into your lips, although you could also feel a little smile on his lips.

You pulled away quickly, jokingly wiping your lips and he in turn jokingly spit out.

“We will talk about this later.” He said, before reconnecting with your lips.

SPRRY FOR THE BAD ENDING HBAHAHA i did most of this writing at night soooo sorry about that - i dud not read any of this ober so sorry about grammatical issues, i also had no idea and had to recieve help from a friend for the endinv fjriekejhr

You know what. Since it’s the au’s one-year birthday(literally posting this at exactly 12am what am i saying), I might as well explain it now. So.

RESTART AU.

Restart au is an alternate universe of Mystery Skulls Animated - an au that branches off after the (very murky and unknown) events of the upcoming fifth video. In my imagined (but also slightly undecided and subject to change) canon, the gang manages to exorcise Reverb from Mystery’s body but not kill him entirely. After those events, Reverb stalks around the gang, trying to find weaknesses of theirs again, and he does this for some time.

Until eventually he runs out of luck during one of their investigations and turns himself into a human. (Like a fucking LOSER)

When that happens, Lewis is the first to notice, and because he’s a vengeful ghost, he subsequently tries to strangle Reverb to death — until Arthur comes in and he stops because Arthur does not want to witness someone else dying because what the fuck! What the actual fuck Lewis!!

Anyway the gang decides yeah if we let this guy run around all human and helpless and stuff he’ll cause some trouble so they force him to come back home with them. Probably at Vivi’s house because she’s the most well-versed in the supernatural I think. And idk shenanigans ensue! (Pain. It’s pain. A lot of it HAHAHA)

Anyway Reverb is like a wet rag in this au because it makes him more fun to put through The Horrors - such as a bunch of demonic lab whump!!

That’s all I can say without it getting insanely complicated and I don’t feel like putting in that much effort for this post… you’re free to ask stuff about it though!
