Diasomnia Boy gift s/o an evening gown to attend the NRC & RSA ball tgt Headcanon

Following from my dress sketch design if you haven’t seen it here . They are base from Glorious Masquerade & Playful land events. Basically a sequence I imagine while drawing the dresses XD I also want to mention that when it’s finish 🥺 you can draw it on your oc and even tweak a bit detail to fit your Yuu or OC. It’s meant to be share with everyone, not just my Yuu.

⚠️ Bad English……. I have no idea what is grammar . 😂

╭══• ೋ•✧๑♡๑✧•ೋ •══╮

Imagine a ball between NRC and RSA happening maybe sometime after chapter 7. All students are invited but you are troubling since you have no dress to wear. And for the love of the great seven. Your beloved head master, Crowley just allowed you to join in your NRC uniform……….. great! So much for your kindness!!

Guess who will be the photographer and a background character on this event…..hahaha………

Well maybe you whine too much in front of the wishing well. Someone comes up with a plan. A plan that would make you believe in a fairytale once again!

╰══• ೋ•✧๑♡๑✧•ೋ •══╯

𝔐𝔞𝔩𝔩𝔢𝔲𝔰 🐉

You had to be blind to not suspect anything……

Lately Mal is a bit touchy. Not that he isn’t normally but this is different. Sometimes he holds your wrist while mumbles something while going on a night stroll. Sometimes he stares at you and gets lost in his thoughts. He even stands just in front of you and tries to lift you up once.

You are so confused and a bit embarrassed when he asks about your height so you call for support. The Diasomnia’s family counselor aka. Lilia Vanrouge. You went all the way to Diasomnia dorm without telling anyone and sneak in to see Lilia.

But

…….

…..

…………

Is he………….

Is he dancing with a dress just now??

Surprisingly you just witness your dragon boyfriend practicing a dance with a beautiful dress. He hummed ‘that song’ while spinning with the dress. What a beautiful princess gown with dark green silk. It looks so shiny and smooth, something that would delicately touch her skin while being held in that big palm. Imagine how soft that hand craft lace feels when on your chest. He did not spare any piece of jewellery from his procession. He keep bring in dazzling earrings and necklaces to test it with the gown. He would have use the heart of his collection to craft a piece of accessories for you if he doesn’t want to save it for something later in the year. You can see a magical golden thread and needle weaving delicate patterns on the skirt as he continues the dance. Every angle……Every turn………..Malleus is creating a masterpiece. He did it………..for you…….for his princess.

Your face is burning from the love of this dragon fae. Why does he have to put so much effort into it.

Oh no………now you a mess

You open the Pandora box too early and now you have to live with it while pretending not to know a thing until the day. You bit your lip as Mal smoothly tug a strain of hair behind your ears. You can now understand what he mumbles about……rose gold? Sunshine gold? May be one of his grandma’s jewellery set?? (Oh god no…….that’s tooo far for the first gown Mal lol)

Your heart beat so fast until the evening of the event. Malleus play cool by teasing you and being a nice partner who prepare a gift for you.

Boom! You are now in a matching dress. So those Raven feathers on the hip are supposed to match his shoulder then ah………..you are about to take off the veil since it looks like a bride. Before Malleus could turn grumpy…..Sebek yell and lecturing you about how talented Wakasama are! You human dare to question his sense of fashion? Outrageous! Just because he love you doesn’t mean you can ruin his days of afford to perfect this dress

Woops………tongue slip

Well it’s not like you never know anyway. Just pretend to be surprise so Sebek won’t get a lightning strike okay?

Bonus : she doesn’t want to point out that when she accidentally saw Malleus weaving that dress……. his tail wagging. It’s a secret she gonna take to her grave though

Bonus 2 : Lilia does notice that and brag about how adorable Malleus is. How Malleus has grown to fit in the society in front of the other dorm leader………..Oopsie

Bonus 3 : Malleus learn the hard way not to miss the meeting

𝕷𝖎𝖑𝖎𝖆 🦇

Have you heard of the story of the fairy godmother in Cinderella? Well he won’t just roll out and sing bib bi di bub bi di bo and bang! A nice new dress for you. The old man planned while cuddling you in bed……in sofa…..in the gaming chair(?)

He pretends to be busy with something and hasn't listened to you. Even play dumb and say you look cute in the school uniform. Well it’s not totally a lie since he thinks it’s adorable. Why would he poke on your cheek and nibble your neck while you are in your uniform if it’s not because you are so cute to him.

The truth is, this old bat is as excited as you. He lived through the war time and never got a chance to enjoy a leisure party before. Well it’s just a joint event of 2 schools. It can't compare with how grand the royal ball of the Briar valley held a ball but this is the first time he is going to have his lover join him. He doesn’t have to be alert from enemies. Doesn’t have to command his subordinates to search all the parties involved in this event. Just lay back enjoy the day with you.

He had been trying to recreate that dress in his memories just for you. It was around……..hundred? Two hundred?? Year ago??? He walked past this girl on the street and was stunned by her attire. It’s an elegant dress with black velvet and green emerald. Soft flare neckline covered the black corset. Enough skin to show your radiant but not too much.

Well, He was allowed to give you some hickeys before the day of the ball. It got enough fabric to cover all his naughtiness. Wink*

However he was troubled with the skirt since he only remembered just part of it flowing past him. He argued if it’s short or long skirt. He was going back and forth and even tried to summon multiple dresses to compare them…….Then before the final day. He just uses his sense of style to bring it together. Of cause ! Who do you think he is, if not the cutest boy in NRC ? (Self proclaimed……)

He smiles so proudly with your flushed cheek as he teases you. As you put on a golden belt with a bat and thorn on. This is the perfect dress for you. His baby bat. He should had prepare a ring for this big day but well…….there are plenty time for that

Bonus : He pick a perfume for you today and as you dance with him on the floor. It’s totally Lilia’s scent///

This is very long………..more than I expected

I’ll continue Silver & Sebek in part 2 then 😂 sorry I’m so into it with my oshi! I’ll try pack in other dorm in one post! Thank you for reading! Hope you enjoy!!

Won't it be funny if we imagine characters from The Boys in a high school AU? Since I'm a Homelander x Hughie shipper I would write it Hughlander-centric (Is this really the name of our ship? XD)

I was thinking something along the lines of Homelander/John is the hottest jock in school, athletic, and quite smart too since he was homeschooled before. Surprisingly despite his history of being someone who attended homeschooling, he was socially adept. He would smile and even earned a place with the popular kids, he was even their leader.

As the number 1 in highschool, John definitely knew how to indulge, he dated all the cheerleaders and even slept with them but once the girls had their dreams of dating the most popular kid in school come true, they were treated like garbage the next day because John would lose interest in them immediately. This kind of behavior didn't even earn John a bad reputation, it was the rest of the school who ridiculed the girls who would claim the unfair treatment. In the student body's eyes, John could do no wrong.

Then one day there was a transfer student named Becca, she was beautiful and smart. She was the top of her class in her previous school and the teachers bet she would be too in Vought High.

John who had his eyes on her already calculated a plan on how to bed the brilliant transfer student. Oddly enough, everytime he tried to strike a conversation with her, a mop of messy brown hair would interrupt their conversation and take her away, it would be another day before John would see Becca again. He was angry, no, furious with how he's being cockblocked.

When he saw the familiar mop haired bastard by the lockers he slammed his hand hard on the lockers, surprising the poor kid. He couldn't help but to doubt his intimidating presence because the kid was clearly taller than John, "I noticed you've been hanging out around Becca lately." John tried to appear as friendly as he could, even with his insincere smile. "You see, I'm interested in Becca and really want to date her so can you stop lingering around her like a fly?"

The taller boy scoffed, "You only want to sleep with her then leave her like all the previous girls you dated. I've been watching the way you treated those poor girls and it's disgusting. I couldn't do anything back then but now I won't let you do the same to Becca. So, no, I wont. Becca deserves better."

It was the first time John met someone who challenged him directly as everyone else was too scared of him to do so. But this kid who glared at him with eyes of pure disgust sent shivers down his spine. He was used to dealing with obedient sheeps, it was the first time he dealt with a feisty one.

The kid pushed away John's arm and excused himself, "Keep your hands to yourself for once in your life."

John was left dumbfounded as he watched the boy walked away. After he regained his mind, he looked at the bystander who watched the whole thing and asked, "Who the fuck was that guy?"

The bystander, intimidated by John yelled out, "T-That's H-Hughie Campbell. P-Please don't hurt me..." He ran away.

John muttered the name with his lips. Hughie Campbell. He noticed the kid sometimes, odd one among the bunch, quiet, probably sits in the loser's table.

A glimpse of Hughie's disgusted eye appeared in John's mind. The boy really intrigued him.

"I can't wait to wipe that expression off his face."

The imagine of Hughie's distorted expression, hatred combined with powerlessness as John put him in his place itched in his heart.

But how will he do it?

In the end:

John : You bastard, who gave you permission to talk to that no-name bitch? *menacingly*

Hughie: Wha–?

John : He's mine. Get your hands off. *glares at Robin*

Hughie : Since when am I yours?

John : Since you riled me up and left me blue-balled every chance you get.

John : *cornering Hughie* Now you need to take responsibility.

Hello!! So I’m pretty sure you haven’t answered a question like this,, (I haven’t read that much of thine content .I’m sorry😔) so I’m just gonna ask

The goggle boys (Cody & Toby)(& yes I’d rather pull my own hair out than type ‘bois’ just seeing the word fills me with a kind of rage ) have more in common than their name; they both have incredibly, vastly different to each individual person, although it is much more common to see for Toby..😅

So uhh could you share with us their personalities in your au/headcanon please

🙏

Toby + Cody Personality HCs

Omg! Ofc! I haven’t gotten a lot of asks, and I don’t have many actual posts- most of them are reblogs XD

And uhhh sorry to break this to you, but I say “boi(s)” all the time 😅

I don’t think I need any warnings here-

Sorry if this isn’t great lol I suck at personalities

Cody

A cocky little shit, but not in a completely bad way-

He more just likes to humble people.

He’s a field proxy and tends to go out in more missions than the high proxy himself (Toby).

He has enough experience to make people look stupid, and he loves doing it just to have those embarrassing and awkward moments (for them).

If you’re on his good side, he’s a big goof.

His sense of humor doesn’t make any sense and that’s why it’s funny

He isn’t too short-fused, but if you push him too much get ready for the biggest verbal beat down of your life.

He’s really smart, ofc.

He is good at manipulating people. Whether he uses it for good or evil is up to him. He really doesn’t do it often tbh

He got the name X Virus from the first concoction he made that he called “Virus X.” It would late be called “the changing death” due to how it changes based on how people react to it and how it is administered.

He thinks he’s slick, but he never is- he’s clumsy as hell.

He’s really easy to get along with, but not in a boring way.

He’s an ok listener… he’s a little scatterbrained at times, but if you catch him on a good day or really drill to him that it’s serious he will give you his undivided attention.

Bud is a gentleman. Whether the other person is a man, woman, or anything in between he drinks all the respect juice.

Despite his charm and humor, he is socially awkward. He can’t talk to new people without making himself look like a whole entire fool.

Man likes to try to be an edge lord but will cry if he actually offends you

He is secretly a sweet summer child…

Toby

He is the happy medium between knowing what he’s capable of and humble at the same time.

Toby is surprisingly serious. His humor is either really fucking hilarious or just dry as hell.

He just isn’t good at making jokes verbally.

But he is good at making jokes when it requires action.

For example, he was practicing accuracy and precision with Kat (Kat uses a gun and he uses an axe- duh). Kat got full bullseye. Toby’s response was to hit the tip of the axe blade in the exact place that the bullet hit. He then comically bowed to him.

It was a good laugh for everyone. No one’s feelings were hurt.

He can’t read the room very well, so he has friends do it for him (namely Jeff and Clockwork) and explain it in simple words.

Before I say anything else, I do this IRL with my friends bc I can’t read the room. I don’t see this as calling Toby stupid or infantilizing him at all. This is something that I feel he would do just cuz… head cannons 🤷

Ok, back to head cannons-

He is chronically sleep deprived.

He’s a great listener. If you need to vent, he’s the perfect person to go to. (This is the main reason him and Cody are so close)

He takes shit from no one

While he’s on the job, he seems very cold and rude at times, but he just takes his job kinda seriously.

He is the kind of person that starts something, leaves it on the desk or smthn, and never comes back to finish it and then randomly in the day with just be like: “OH SHIT-”

Sorry if it’s not great, when ppl ask me for personality shit I’m always confused as to what to fucking say. Anyway-

Hope this was ok!!! Have a good day/night/whatever the fuck it is for you! 💜

The creeps and their ice cream!

Headcanon (x reader)

Creepypasta

Silly Headcanon I had in mind. Who doesn't like ice-cream? (No offense if you don't XD)

Tw: none

Pronouns: Gn

-

Jeff the killer: He's a classic. Chocolate. Or well anything with chocolate. He's a little shameful about it since it reminds him of his childhood when he and Liu would run after the ice-cream truck to get their sweet treats. You can ask to share, but not sure he'll ever give up on his ice-cream.

Eyeless Jack: He can't have ice-cream (it's a monster thing), but I'm pretty sure that if he could he would be as simple as vanilla. He likes the smell of it when you eat yours. Would of course buy you one every time he goes out. He finds it funny when you get some on your nose and cheeks.

BEN drowned: Bubble gum. He's still a child at heart and this colourful ice-cream is making him nostalgic. Please give him one and cheer him up. He'll soon associate his favourite ice-cream with the quality time he can spend with you.

Masky: Mint and chocolate. It's taste is fresh and a little bitter. It reminds him of the cold air of the forest in winter and his long walks with you on his rare days off. He's not a fan of sweetness, but loves the bitterness of the dark chocolate. Will always buy you one too so you can enjoy the moment with him.

Hoodie: Caramel syrup (no. Not because of the colour of his hoodie) with vanilla ice-cream. He likes when the caramel is hot and melts the cold ice cream under. He can eat his ice-cream all year long, this man is never cold. He surprisingly has a sweet tooth, but you're the only one who's aloud to know. If you eat it in the winter, he's wrap his arms around you so you don't get too cold while eating your cold dessert.

Ticci Toby: He's also a chocolate lover but especially chocolate chips. Just a fan of sweet things (unlike Masky). It makes him forget how life is hard sometimes. Will totally feed it to you, but you are both laughing as he gets some everywhere on you face, but on your tongue. At the end you'll both end up with ice-cream in your hair, nose and on your face, but it's a moment you both cherish.

Liu Woods: Vanilla, but he likes when there's a special flavour on the menu too! Doesn't like to take decisions so he always took the same flavour when he went to the ice-cream truck with his brother. When you two eat ice-cream, he asks you to pick something to add on top of the treat. Will trust you blindly, so please don't play with him (Like that time when you convinced him that pickles were good with vanilla, he did accept your apology though).

Jane the killer: (For the aesthetic) Black vanilla. She just loves to colour and the natural scent of vanilla. Nothing to do with the artificial one! If you buy one for her, she'll probably just look at it and won't take a bite because of how pretty it looks. Nothing compares to you though no worries!

Bloody painter: The king of aesthetic, he loves red ice-cream whether it's cherry, raspberry, blueberry... anything as long as it's red he like it. Not much of a sweet tooth, but like the taste of fruits a lot. He might even try to paint with it (spoiler: it won't work). His favourite way to enjoy his treat is with you. If you squint you will probably be able to witness one of his rare smiles as he shyly reaches for you hand.

Clockwork: Any flavour. She is the type to go for the weird limited one that changes once a week even if it sounds disgusting. She's a dangerous woman, what can I say. For that reason, you probably won't be sharing (unless it's really terrible, then you feel bad seeing her face each time she takes a lick). Will also put some on your nose just to have the excuse to lick it off. She thinks you are adorable when you blush.<3

Seems like I had inspiration for that one! Hope you enjoyed!

[slashingdisneypasta]

Ive seen the f/o werewolves au and I absolutely love it. From the way it works to how they all handle their wolf side in different ways... I just find it so neat!

Callahan especially got my brain going 100 miles an hour, Just imagining him and the YN from your series dealing with it...

The days leading up to the first transformation where the animalistic-scary grows from "hot" to "concerning".

Him missing out on a date because, as fate would have it, happened in a full moon and then just... Ghosting, because he doesn't like the fact he can't control this quite yet.

He wanted to ravage YN before the transformation? absolutely. Make them his (mate)? Certainly. But this is beyond him. He can't control himself, just the sound of YN's voice from when they showed up at his doorstep (one last check. Giving him the benefit of the doubt.) is enough to send him into a bit of a frenzy, and he hates it.

And then one day YN returns to their dorm to find this big, weirdly wolf-like, old dog (if the grey muzzle is any indication) at their door. One that's weirdly docile and (even more surprisingly) friendly with them, despite the fact they never saw this dog in their life.

The dog approaches, carefully sniffing their hand, before pressing the top of its head against the palm. Still a bit weirded out, YN gives the animal a few tentative scratches and pets, which the dog seems to like.

(Mate is caring for him after so long after all...)

And just that presence, that care, that absolute freedom to be at peace with the one the two of them love is enough to bring the two consciousness together for long enough of a moment for Callahan to detransform.

Thankfully the shock of petting a naked Callahan (clothes having bursted out from the initial transformation) sent YN reeling back, which ended up reverting him back into a wolf. Wouldn't do to have that image floating around the college forums after all.

YN was able to guide Callahowl inside to wait out the moon. But in the morning, they would talk, as they made sure to tell the dog. Whether he could fully understand them or not was still up to debate, but at least he seemed to understand their tone and looked a bit chastised.

For the all of five minutes before YN relented and began to pet him again, cursing whatever entity that ruled their universe and made Callahowl such a cute dog.

FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND

I GOT SO EXCITED WHEN I SAW THIS IN THE MORNING. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ANSWER IN KIND.

First of all I am s o so jazzed to see that you, too, are mad about Werewolf!Callahan like me!! XDD And 'Callahowl'???? OMG perfect XDDD Second of all-

YOUR FIC HERE. IT IS MAKING ME INSANE. Y/N being affectionate with this wolfie that loves her even though they have a sort of temperamental relationship when he's human?? 'Mate is caring for him after so long after all...'- this this this!!! Because like??- thats Aaron and Y/N loves Aaron. They do. But usually they cant show him that, because he's an ass and it would kill them- and he cant show it to them either because, again, he's a total ass-- but in this form??? His underlying desire for affection from them (His mate!! <3) comes out and Y/N doesn't have to worry about teasing (or worse) ^^

I also love your detail that his muzzle is lighter to show his age!!

Thank you so so much for sharing this!!!!!!!! ^^ I wanna write for Callahowl so so bad and one day I will XD I swear XD For now though here are some imagines for you, too!! In these, Y/N is actually his student but the relationship is basically the same apart from that.

Werewolf!Professor Aaron Callahan x Fem!Student!Reader || Imagines

Plot: Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon.

Warnings: There are smut imagines at the end that involve male masturbation topics as well as sex, and breeding ref's.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon appearing in class dishevelled. His short hair unbrushed and ruffled like he's been constantly running his fingers through it, his shirt unbuttoned at the top, his jacket clenched at his side in his hand instead of on like it just got way too hot despite it being the middle of November, his glasses constantly crooked from rubbing his wild eyes.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon only being calm when its just the two of you. When, after class, you stay back to check on him in the office. He slumps on the corner of his desk and watches you with a certain warmth you've never seen on him before. You fix his glasses and his hair, and his eyes fall shut at the feeling for half a moment before he can pull himself together. You offer him his blazer before you leave, and he takes it simply because you offered it, wanting to hold onto you in any way he can, but only holding it in his hands as you leave instead of pulling it on.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon getting snippier and snippier with students, breathing heavily through his nose and rolling his eyes up to the sky and looking dangerously close to throwing things- but not to you. Not towards his mate (Not that you know you're that).

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon making a guy in your class with you, who was arguing con to your pro in a hypothetical court topic feel dumb and mortified in front of the whole class. He told the guy to oppose you (Its a regular law class activity!) but it turns out to be too much for him- he cant handle it. He has to stick up for you, protect you. And its nasty, and unfair, and awful, and everyone in the room feels the aftershock of it. Luckily, he's still him enough to brush it off and move on, but you're looking at him like he's insane the rest of the class and he knows he fucked up.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon making up excuses why he's acting the way he is and why he keeps cancelling on you and they just keep getting worse. He's a smart guy, he's actually scary he's so smart, but now he's acting like an idiot and you're actually getting kindof concerned. You ask him, genuinely, if he's okay?

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon looking up and to the door any time you walk through it, looking over at you like he knew it was you who came in even if its too loud in the room for him to have heard the door even open and he had no way of knowing when you were going to get there. Because he's so tuned in to your scent, and his nose is so sensitive this time of month.

~ Hornycanons from here ~

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon getting hornier the closer his transformation closes in on him.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon having to cover his mouth with his hand tight and hang up quick when you call because the bulge in his pants grew at record speed hearing you and he's going to moan if he stays; the sweet sound of your voice making him painfully turned on.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon having to jerk off under his desk during lunch. You stay back to check on him, he takes his blazer from you, and then he sits down slowly and takes out his red headed, leaking cock to quickly pump one out; riding the high or your lingering scent and your voice in his head and the feel of your fingers on his hair just before.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon having to excuse himself to go to the bathroom more often just in order to jerk off and keep his shit together.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon who will fuck all night if you come to stay over. He'll fuck you against the wall when you come in, he'll fuck you on the couch, he'll fuck you all night in bed. He tries to bang it out, make the rest of his week easier, but thats not how it works.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon who has to fight himself not to fucking cum in you, goddamnit. He doesn't want kids, he tells himself over and over. He doesn't want kids, he doesn't want kids. But the wolf in him desperately wants to fill you with pups. Luckily Cal's just strong enough to control that. Just.

Werewolf!Callahan in the days leading up to the full moon who is just a mess, and completely enamoured with you, and desperately wanting to hide it from you.

Oh! You Must be New.

Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. Everyone is new at some point. Even me! But it can be a bit of a problem when you find a blog that's been around in some capacity since 2018. There's a lot of gaps to fill in, and hopefully this post will help be a starting point.

While this is a Wilford rp and ask blog, no matter how busy or quiet it may be, it has been around for a long time. M.otherloving came out about a month or two after the blog was set up, and the accuracy of what I was writing meant this blog was on the right track - I was the only person in my circle at the time who didn't need to either make major headcanon changes or opt to abandon canon and go divergent. With every appearance, there's been no major tweaks that have been required to adjust the portrayal. To toot my own horn, it's been fairly spot on.

Between that and natural character development, this can mean that the blog could be a little... 'inaccurate' to expectations, and can cause a lot of confusion for those who aren't 'in the know'. So! Consider this a 101 on the character without needing to trawl through the gauntlet of a two-part bio (the second part isn't even finished yet....)

In brief, I kindly ask that you leave expectations of a reckless madman who fully personifies the "LOL XD RANDUM" and has no clue about anything going on at the door, please. If you want to compare him to a canon appearance, look more toward M.otherloving or Space.

For a lot more info to help get you started, read on.

While this Wilf (also known as 'Rose' when interacting with variants) is still eccentric and kooky, he is more grounded in nature. Chances to interact with others and maintain a somewhat normal sense of time flowing in the correct manner have started to help him feel more connected. Not only that, he's starting to get glimpses of his original life as William, and a later life of Wilson Jackson Bartholomew (or just 'Jack'). The latter I haven't gone into much detail yet in general, so don't worry about that. If you see him getting glimpses of these memories, he doesn't go into hysterics. That's important.

He is six foot three, and heavy built. The evidence of his past life as a soldier is there in his broad shoulders, a barrel chest and strong arms, as well as how he can hold himself. However, he's got a proper tubby belly, and this softness almost counteracts the threat of the almost unnatural strength that lies within. His moustache is either pure pink or black with pink tips depending on the day. He's got a curly mop of black hair that has a slight red-pink tint when the light shines on it just right. The only genuine traces of pink in his hair can be found in his fringe, which curls over his right eye. There's usually faint stubble across his jawline, and he flat-out refuses to wear glasses (he'll say it's because he doesn't want anyone missing out on his 'cute chocolate eyes'. Don't believe him. He just doesn't like them and won't humour the idea of contacts). Despite this, he's still athletic, and can move surprisingly fast if you aren't prepared.

He's still a reporter, though these days he's taken a bit of a back seat. His work in the studio is helping the Jims and others who are making their presence known on camera. When he does interview, that reckless, gun-wielding side comes out in full force... But it's more akin to an act than anything truthful to who he is.

Instead, his priority is the Moonlight Roller. It's the reclaimed disco setting of M.otherloving that was redecorated and given a whole new lease of life. I go into a LOT more detail here, but in brief: it is a roller rink, amusement arcade, diner, and bar that is located both in a real location and in between the worlds and stories. If a character needs a break, they'll find a door to the Roller.

Personality-wise, Wilf is still eccentric, but it's closer to a 'weird uncle' mixed with a cartoon character. He's normally upbeat and childish, though he does have his more serious moments. He'll still take time to voice whatever odd thought crosses his mind on the dash, or go directly to another blog if he wants an answer or opinion on something. And to my surprise, he's even tried to be the stereotypical 'bartender who listens to others' woes'. I never thought that would happen! How did that happen?? He used to be notorious for putting his foot in his mouth!

As for his abilities? He's got the abilities to lift things in and out of pocket dimensions. He always has a weapon on his person, even if there's little reason for it these days. He can blink out of existence or disappear if eyes are off him, and use doors as a way to teleport/take shortcuts. This can sometimes land him in different timelines or eras, not that he minds. He's got impeccable aim, and he usually only misses if he chooses to. That's not mentioning his ability to use any weapon after a brief examination with startlingly good skill.

By the way. You can kill him, but he won't stay dead. He'll come back to pester you about it in a few days.

-

This blog also has William, but I don't need to talk about any potential differences. What you saw in WKM is what you get, essentially. His height was rather unusual for his time, and he absolutely used this to his advantage to add to the intimidation factor. He was a loyal friend, but also not the nicest person to be friends with. And if he didn't know you? Good luck!

Sometimes, you may see someone called Liam. This is a 'what-if' timeline where Celine never arrived, resulting in William's death and him taking the role of 'the villain'. Despite the 'what-if', this was actually the intended plan, where William would die, and everyone else would leave, alive and safe. This goes into more detail about that. In brief, his main distinguishing factor is his paralysed left arm as a result of the fatal injury he received during the gun confrontation with the Detective.

Yu Yu Hakusho – Live action

Okay… I liked it… was there problems? Yes, but it was done by people who loved the anime/manga and have for years! And we know how rare that is!

So watch it if you have seen the anime, or see it if you haven’t, then go watch the anime!

So… Spoiler? YES!

This is also writen by an insane woman! enjoy!

Ok. So the LA (Live Action) covered 2 main arks of the anime, 1st and the 3rd, it does miss out one of my fave arks of the anime, but that’s fine, they really did a good job of melding them together. But it does mean we don’t get to see Hiei go green and get eyes, or Kurama stepping in and getting stabbed >_<.

Yusuke: I liked his char, but he never stops being ‘moody teen’ and his neck must have hurt from being stuck out all day, I think he breaks a smile once, which is a shame for such a sassy funny character.

Kuwabara: At least they found a tall guy, and he did a really good job, he was funny, and even though he’s not my fav chara, I actually liked him in this LA. Especially when he was left to fight to save Keiko & Yukina.

Kurama: (aka Shuichi) Now, I do love this ancient fox. He was fine in this LA, he was meant to be almost emotionless, which he was. Though I didn’t like the bit where he used the mirror, it didn’t need the graphics, it’s an emotional moment, where Yusuke is also giving his life to save Kurama’s mother, and it’s a HUGE bonding moment between them that never really happened, but also, the mirror never said he was letting them off the sacrifice, it was just kinda ignored >_<.

Hiei: he wasn’t short enough, and even though all the wigs were gods awful, there was no white blaze in his hair. We also didn’t see him go all green and covered in eyes, so we missed out on learning more about his personality. He was just moody and quiet, though his fight is good, and he has a couple of good lines, other than that? You can forget he’s there :S which is strange for the guy’s who’s the 2nd favourit.

Yoko Kurama; Oh… ohhh… tehe. We will forget the tail, it was a little too accurate, BUT… oh how lovely he was! His fight was watched a few times. And they plans were lovely and accurate! Even though we shouldn’t be seeing him come out in that arch, we can forgive him coming out without help XD.

Keiko : She’s fine, just like the anime, they didn’t make her a soft weakling, she sticks up for herself when she needs to!

Yukina: /sigh… pathetic, sure her anime self is a little weak, but she’s more naïve that pathetic… also… some people really shouldn’t get lip filler, poor actress.

Botan: She’s not tall enough, but she they do keep her sister personality to the boys and Yusuke, which I liked… but no broom! >_<

Koenma (Enma Jr): It was a shame they couldn’t afford the CG to make him a baby XD.. but they got his adult form down, so I’ll let it off… BUT… I missed George >_<

Genkai : Just like in the anime, she’s also one of my favourite chara! She’s so old and cranky, and they did a great job in the LA of finding a woman who could pull it off! shame she wasn’t in it more >_<

The rest of the bad guys were also surprisingly accurate and true to the original material, like older Taguro, the GD budget also went on him, even if he looked like Robert Carlyle half the time.

Conclusion?: I enjoyed it! It was fun, it stuck to what it used of the original works. Apart from the 1st true fight, the fight scenes were fun and engaging. So I have no idea what it would be like to watch for people who’s never seen YYH, but if it gets even a few people watching the anime and loving it, that’s good enough for me ^_^

(PS: ATM in the UK, it’s streaming on ‘Crunchyroll’ I know it’s on their site, not so sure about it being there through amazon prime.)

Thanks for reading! ^_^

[puckingdisaster]

For the WIP list: Blood on my shirt, rose in my hand👀

This is probably the one with the rarest rarepair I have xD because I basically saw two dudes from two different hockey teams, pushed them together in my mind and said "now kiss". And it's very enemies turned to very emotionally sad one night stand turned to teammates xD

Gotta give you the hair braiding part as a snippet because the hair braiding part is my favorite part so far

As Mitch disappeared, Shawn turned around nervously, feeling strangely vulnerable. He waited until Mitch came back from the bathroom, dropping down onto the couch behind him with a thud. Shawn suppressed the urge to flinch away as Mitch gently grasped all of his hair and pulled it over Shawn's shoulders so he could brush it better. Neither of them said anything as Mitch worked to detangle the long strands and surprisingly, it didn't feel bad. On the contrary, it was almost relaxing and Mitch, staying true to his promise, didn't let the brush snag on the more difficult knots, not even once. 

. 

As he moved on to divide Shawn's hair to weave it into two neat braids, the silence between them felt heavy, but not necessarily uncomfortable. This was possibly the most civil they ever behaved around each other off the ice so far. After a while, Shawn had to fight against his eyelids drooping on their own accord, the soothing touches of Mitch's hands working systematically through his hair relaxing him down to his bones. He licked his lips, unsure if he should say something or not. Just to humor him, he turned his head a few millimeters, trying to peek over his shoulder. 

"You're actually really good at this. Thought you lied or something."

He was surprised at how relaxed and sleepy his own voice sounded, but what surprised him even more was how softly Mitch answered. 

"Told you I'd take care of you."

The answer took Shawn’s breath away for a second, so he just turned back to how he was positioned before, trying not to sink back too much.

After that, the silence grew again, and Shawn couldn't stop his eyes from closing anymore. Fortunately, Mitch was almost done and after he secured the second braid he patted Shawn's shoulder lightly, scooting back a little. 

Shawn turned around, feeling oddly exposed in front of the other man. His hair resting in two neat braids on his shoulders felt unusual, but not bad. When Mitch held up a small mirror for him so he could see the back of his head as well, reflected against the screen of his phone, it felt good and almost pretty, in a way that Shawn didn't want to explore closer right now. 

"Thanks. That was really nice of you", he murmured, smiling slightly. Lead weighed down his arms and legs and after the relaxing sensations of the past fifteen minutes or so, it felt uncomfortable to resurface again. 

Mitch just nodded with a jerk of his head and went to put the hairbrush away again. “I’ll be.. in my room. If you need something.”

Mob!wolves au

Just a little something thats been stuck in my head for the past few days @under-the-scarlet-reign88 is to thank for it XD

Castellano drunkenly stumbled out of the bar with some of the underlings of his pack, the group causing mischief as usual. His alcoholic buzz seeming to be high however his senses still picked up a little something interesting. There was someone watching them from across the street, a very sexy someone who had red hair which was a favorite color for the wolf. She smelled like flowers, whiskey, and surprisingly silver which explains why she was so intensely staring at him and his pack "boys you go on ahead let the big boss know I'll be late getting back". Sauntering over to the redhead he smirked eyeing her with a primal kind of lust and curiosity. The two watching each other closely as their little game of cat and mouse or rather of wolf and hunter began. "hmm whats a pretty thing like you doing out so late? And from what i see..." Cas looked around "all alone? Don't you know that the big bad wolf is hungrily prowling the streets." The wolf let out a dark chuckle as the animalistic gleam in his eyes sparkled with sadistic intent. "Well the big bad wolf should know who my family is, i can take care of myself." She responded letting him see her weapon "ooo shiny hehe you know i think I've heard of you." wolfishly grinning cas stroked her hair sniffing it with a low growl "so your that Winchester girl, elle right? Daddys little princess." laughing over the girls anger cas joyously enjoyed her rage. "aren't you a cute little thing." Inhaling deeply he filled his lungs with her scent "what are you doing here wolf?" Elle questioned him trying to sound annoyed "i could ask you the same thing." leaning in closer he noticed her blush red cheeks. Standing her ground elle backed away putting some space in between them knowing wolves are unpredictable and it was dangerous to be that close to one "my father told me to keep an eye on you." a statement that wasn't entirely true but also wasn't a lie; john told his kids to watch the pack and report back to him at the end of the day. By this time she had been following him and only him all day while sam kept an eye on cameron and dean watched richard the big boss, both of her brothers were probably home by now but elle just couldn't leave the wolf alone. With a devilish smirk cas stepped forward closing the space between them knowing she wasn't just there too watch him from the sweet scent coming from her and the way she was dressed. The wolfs laugh was sinister as he teased her "do you always do what daddy says?" castellano asked condescendingly "stop teasing me!" She yelled unable to hold in her distain towards him "stop following me!" He roared back. Scrunching up her face in disbelief she denied him "maybe i will once you leave humanity alone wolf!" With that he gave her fanged grin with a light in his eyes that foretold of mischief "fine then come with me tonight and tomorrow humanity will be left alone, deal princess?". He knew she would say yes to going with him, just the thought of it caused her whole expression to change "come on, i promise i won't bite..." The wolf whispered lowly in her ear "not tonight at least." Elle rolled her eyes pushing her feelings for the wolf down deep within her. The redhead huffed "fine but you better keep your word wolf." she pushed past him walking to her bike and the wolf with his eyes now glowing gold smugly watched her hips sway "I'll do a lot more than that." The two started the night as enemies but it seems like they'll end it a little differently.

[new-dawn-au]

Am I going to make Apis and Saki canon? Hell yeah, they're too cute not to! Don't blame me, blame the little demon pulling my heart to make this happen X3

Bold = texting

"Italics with quotation marks = thinking"

This was not good.

It was supposed to be a normal day, but of course, something had to go wrong. The thunder was too loud, too near, too…. Familiar. And Apis was not a fan.

He could feel tears building up in his eyes and his own grip on reality or any sense quickly slipping away as he tried to find somewhere to hide from it all.

He had stupidly forgotten his house keys, and Adonis was working that day so he couldn't unlock the door for him, leaving him in a bad situation of having to wait for hours to go home. And it sucked.

But just as he was about to break down, he heard a voice he had grown fond of over the past few months. "Apis? Are you okay?" Saki asked her friend, visibly worried about him.

Apis looked to his friend and tried to muster a smile but miserably failed, letting tears fall as he clung onto her.

"Please… don't let them hurt me again. I can't go back, I can't, they'll hurt me, I just know it. I'm dead if they find me, please don't make me go back… help me, please." He mumbled through his tears, he couldn't control himself when he was like this. He felt embarrassed, embarrassed that he was breaking down like this and having a breakdown in front of someone he considered a good friend.

Surprisingly to him, Saki had not pushed him away, instead pulling him closer and taking him to her house. Despite her knowing little to nothing about what he was talking about, she still comfored him. "It's okay, I won't let them take you. You'll be safe here."

By the time they had both entered her room, Apis had fainted from panic, leading Saki to lend him her bed and pull the covers over him whilst she went to get something for the both of them to eat and drink.

Nobody was home today so it left her to watch over her friend without interruptions. Suddenly, his phone received a message.

Adonis: That thunder is really loud isn't it? Hope you're ok❤️

Yikes, it was going to be complicated to explain that Apis wasn't actually seeing this message and that he had passed out. But Saki did it in the best way she knew how to.

Apis: this is Saki Tachibana, a friend of Apis from school! He's at mine rn bc he got scared by the thunder and he's sleeping thru it srry do you want me to wake him up? :)

Adonis: no, it's fine. It's nice to know that he has many good friends now. Or maybe you're more than friends🤨? Jkjk

Wait, what?

Was Apis's dad trying to suggest that they were… dating?! Saki had never even considered dating him! However..

She did find him very kind and cute. And it was so fun messing with his hair, it was always so soft and he always reacted so cutely when she accidentally touched his neck when playing with his hair with his little giggle and nose scrunch followed by his insistence that he was most definitely not ticklish on his neck despite him obviously being so. And his face was attractive as well, she had thought of kissing him before…. Wait, kissing?!

Okay, so she might like him, but there was no way that he felt the same!

Apis: omfg no💀 were not dating but Im flattered that you think I cud end up with sum1 like him XD

Adonis: uh huh, sure thing lol. If he isn't up or still at yours by half 4 then give me your address and I'll come for him.

Apis: will do.

A few hours later, Apis stirred awake and looked around before seeing Saki and realising what just happened. "Ah, Saki! I'm sorry for falling asleep in your bed, it won't happen again!" "Haha! It's fine, you were scared and you needed it, I don't mind." Saki smiled, handing him a rice ball.

"I assumed that you'd be hungry when you woke up so I made some rice balls for you, do you like it?" Apis took a bite and smiled back at her, blushing slightly. "Mmhmm! It's really nice, thank you."

There was that look again, that smile and those rosy cheeks. And those eyes… it made Saki truly realise her feelings for him.

She loved him, she actually loved someone again. She didn't even think she could love like this after her last relationship, but here she was, basking in Apis's presence, loving his existence, loving being around him.

Nope, she had to stop herself there. She was supposed to be looking after him, she could crush over him another time! "Hey, are you thirsty? I have some apple juice downstairs that I can go get if you want." Apis nodded and followed her to the kitchen, holding her hand to keep his balance stable

Saki could just feel herself overheating, his hands were strangely soft in comparison to her rough ones up, they felt like heavenly buttercream to her and she adored it.

But all of a sudden, she heard whimpering coming from him as he pulled his hand back, covering his white eye. "It must be that scar again! But how can I help him?" Saki thought, coming to a reckless conclusion.

She held his wrists gently so as to not hurt him, leant near his face and placed a gentle kiss on his white eye and scar, gaining a squeak from him. "E-Eh?! Saki, what are you doing?.."

"Oh shit! I am so sorry, I didn't know what to do and I thought that if I kissed it then the pain would go away! That was really stupid, I'm so sorry again." Saki apologised profusely before Apis interrupted. "You don't have to apologise! I… um.. actually kind of liked it.. it made me feel safe, and warm and fuzzy inside and I don't know why.. is there something wrong with me?"

Saki widened her eyes, could he feel the same thing towards her as she did to him? She had to test it.. "Hey, is it okay if I try something? You can stop if you feel weird or uncomfortable."

Apis nodded his head. Granted, he didn't know what was going to happen, but he put all of his faith and trust in Saki.

She leant near his face again, kissing his lips as she closed her eyes. She was taken by positive surprise when she felt Apis kiss back slightly, so he did feel the same way! His lips were just as soft as the rest of him, it was clear that they had been bitten out of anxiety and overall stress,but it wasn't unpleasant, it was kind.

Apis pulled away to catch his breath, his cheeks now a bright red. "I.. enjoyed that… a lot. I think that I… love you."

Saki smiled wide, her cheeks the same as his as she wrapped her arms around him, pulling him I to a hug. "I love you too, Apis."

IT'S DONE AND NOW I'M GONNA BURRY MY HEAD IN FLUFF OVERLOAD, GOOD BYE

[certifiedcoffeeaddict]

So

Your text posts and another friends recommendations have led me to start reading TGCF. (I'm also watching the animated series in the meantime as bilibili has cool downs between chapters)

I'm loving the series so far but oh boy, HC and XL have never heard of subtlety.

XL with his identity, HC with his identity and his flirting.

The point I'm at, HC is pretending to be a human and XL is pretending to be a priest

They're both bad at this

Fortunately neither of them are falling for the others disguise

But still, HC, humans can't make snakes explode just by looking at them.

Saying 'what would you prefer' in response to 'what does he [HC] look like?' Also doesn't help your case either HC XD.

However I did get to watch HC fight an enemy while carrying XL bridal style so him being the least subtle person in existence does have some benefits.

glad to hear the obsession is contagious (your friend has really good taste <3)

fun fact, i originally started watching tgcf the donghua and i wasn't aware it had any romance i just thought the animation looked nice so i started watching it... it took me surprisingly long to figure out hc and xl're actually in love w each other too, because i was like oh boy the fans are gonna freak out the whole time. thinking its queerbaiting or something idek .

then i went to read the novel & the manhua came last bc the latter makes it realyl hard to focus on plot stuff what with all the characters being breathtakingly beautiful

you are so right!! their absolutely not subtle behaviour was honestly difficult to stomach the first time i watched/read about it, bc i didnt know them very well as characters and it brought me not small amounts of second-hand embarrassment. xl braiding hc's hair and failing, the palm-reading ("you won't have to worry about your love life in the future :)"), hc making snakes go kaboom etc etc. but in retrospect, it's just really funny. hc is So in love.

("what does he look like?" "what's your ideal type? <- unrelated. dw about it :)" )

hc's lack of subtlety has a lot of benefits (and is frankly quite endearing. xl agrees methinks)

[ofluminance-a]

what does your muse smell like?

i hate to say it, but he probably uses some kind of cheap axe-like body spray that he thinks makes him smell good. does it? yes, when he doesn't overdo it. i just googled it: blue lavender! because it reminds me of him. :)

What does your muse's hands feel like?

calloused, rough, average. they're not big, but they're also not small either. they're covered in scars and cuts. yet, they can be surprisingly gentle, too despite all they've been through.

What does your muse usually eat in a day?

asdklfjn;. at school in the past verses, bento, ramen, too much junk food. he occasionally likes sweets too. reading the manga, it's canon that his parents are present. but then in the future, at a point, he says he ran from home -- so, no home cooked meals besides like ramen that he can do himself. basic things. probably doesn't eat right at all, honestly. i've always hc'd his parents were busy people and not around much to begin with, and then later on, he did run away to protect them. so yeah, ramen or whatever chifuyu feeds him. pretty much, lol.

Does your muse have a good singing voice?

absolutely not!! lol! he would probably try singing at karaoke or the shower or something, and i am just imagining everyone boo-ing or trying to get him off stage.

Does your muse have any bad habits or nervous ticks?

oh yeah, for sure. i mean we all know in the future when he's on his own, he's a slob. doesn't care much about his appearance, dress, job, etc. but i think that all stems from like-- depression? like why bother if i have no one to dress up / clean up for? and not having parents around, who would tell michi otherwise? i mean, as he grows and becomes more takemichi, that changes of course. but some habits are hard to break and i can certainly see partners, yelling at him to get a hair cut orrrr make the bed, etc.

What does your muse usually look like/wear?

there are times he overdoes it. especially when he's younger, trying to be ' cool ' takemichi, no, please stop, lol. honestly, my favorite looks for him are when he's not trying. jeans, a tee and some sneakers. a hoodie, etc. when he's older that doesn't change much.

Is your muse affectionate? How so?

ohhh yeah. too much at times. takemichi wears his heart on his sleeve, and i am pretty sure that it's plain for all to see. but, he will show his affection in simple ways that may not outright express his feelings: but, it's his own way of making someone smile: a gift ( hina's necklace for example ) as a way of showing that even when he's not with his partner, he still cares about them, and is thinking of them. it will very much be acts of service: flowers, sharing food, picking up their favorite drink / food. or more physical being: brushing hair behind an ear, soft smiles, cuddles, holding hands. and just letting them know? - he will outright tell you, and speak his mind, or show you. <3

What position does your muse sleep in?

tighty whities. i mean ... boxers. xD

Could you hear your muse in the hallway from another room?

oh god, yes. he's so freaking loud and doens't mean to be, but have you met him?

Chapter 28:

When Flavio awoke that morning, wrapped up warmly in Fafnir’s strong arms, he realised something.

It was Christmas Eve.

He had totally lost track of time! Worse still, he still had not bought any gifts.

He felt so bad. After all the trouble he had caused, he still had not bought any Christmas presents for anyone. He had not had the time. Not really. But he still felt bad. And the shopping that day was sure to be horrendous.

He should at least try.

But with Fafnir’s arms around him and the warm bed, he did not want to move. No stress. Complete comfort and contentment. The first time in two full weeks. Staying put and doing nothing was so enticing.

Still…as much as he would like to stay, someone was bound to come knocking at the door sooner or later.

Flavio wiggled a hand out from under the blankets and poked Fafnir lightly on the nose. “Fafnir.”

Fafnir crinkled his nose in response and simply tightened his arms around him, pulling him close in order to nuzzle his nose into his hair.

“Fafnir, it’s Christmas Eve. We should get up.”

That earned him a grumble in protest, and he could not help but chuckle to himself. Still not a morning person. After a few moments, Fafnir finally stirred enough to awaken and, in the process, loosened his arms around him a fraction. Enough for Flavio to wiggle himself into a sitting position.

Not for very long, though.

As soon as Fafnir was awake enough, he promptly pulled him back into his arms. And kissed him.

Falling to rest against Fafnir’s chest, Flavio melted back into his arms easily, lulled back into the warmth and the comfort. He knew that Fafnir would entice him back into bed. Not that it was a hard thing to do. But he should at least try to make an effort to get up. To make an appearance. After all that had occurred yesterday, there were a few others who would like to see his face, surely.

Instead of attempting to detach himself from Fafnir’s embrace, Flavio tilted his head to the side and allowed him to deepen the kiss. It was…needed, after all. By the both of them.

Fafnir folded one arm along the small of his back, pressing his body firmly against his, while he idly trailed his fingers of his other hand along Flavio’s spine. The tracing was soft through the material of his clothing, but he felt every little touch, making him shiver.

In return, he touched the sides of Fafnir’s face, his fingers threading through his hair as he tilted his head just that little bit more. To feel more of Fafnir’s lips against his. To have him kiss him just that little bit deeper, just that little bit stronger.

He did not want the kiss to end. The moment was so warm, so comforting. But he was growing dizzy. Becoming a little too lost in the moment. It was growing far too intense.

As much as he did not want it to end, and he truly did not, there were sure to be others waiting for them.

They were quickly reaching a point where interruption would be far, far too awkward.

“F-Fafnir,” Flavio murmured against his lips. “We can’t. Others are probably waiting for us.”

Fafnir pressed forward to purposely touch Flavio’s lips in one last, lingering caress before he pulled back, eliciting a whine of disappointment from him. And a chuckle from Fafnir. He laid back onto the bed and Flavio rested against his chest in order to gather his senses, which was surprisingly difficult as Fafnir kept idly trailing his fingers along his spine.

“You’re not making this easy for me,” Flavio huffed as he finally found the energy to roll off of him and slipped out of bed.

Fafnir rolled onto his side and rested his head in his elbow. “Good.”

Flavio picked up a shirt and threw it at him. “Wipe that satisfied smirk from your face and get up. I want to enjoy the day for once. It’ll be nice being out and about, and not having to constantly look over my shoulder.”

That was right. He could finally walk out of his room without having to peek out through the door first. Without having to look down at the floor in search of an unwanted gift. Walk through the inn, walk through the streets without wincing at every shadow, without having to second guess the actions of the strangers around him.

It was over. It was finally over.

He was free.

Finally free.

It was almost hard to believe. But it was real. The ordeal over as quickly as it had begun.

Flavio shook his head slightly. He did not want to dwell in those memories at the moment. He had better things to do, better things to think about. It was Christmas Eve, after all. An exciting, festive day. He was going to enjoy the day, see what the city of High Lagaard had to offer.

So, he quickly got dressed, readying himself for the day.

When he stepped out of the room, Fafnir right behind him, he made the point not to look down, not to search for any unwanted gift. He just stepped out into the hallway. Like a normal, rational person.

The hallway was not empty, however. Arianna had just stepped out of her own room. She looked over in their direction and her expression immediately brightened.

“Ah, good morning!” Arianna hurried over to him and took a hold of his hand. “Sir Flavio, how are you feeling?”

Flavio smiled at the considerate princess. “I’m fine now.”

“Where’s Bertrand, Hrothgar, and Chloe?” Fafnir asked.

“Sir Bertrand and Sir Hrothgar have returned to the Sidero estate,” Arianna explained. “They wished to ensure that our enemies have been truly defeated. And perhaps learn more about that family. From their absence, it is safe to assume that the battle is well and truly over.”

He truly hoped so.

“And Dame Chloe is setting the Christmas presents under the Christmas tree in the tearoom.” Arianna chuckled to herself. “She’s quite excited.”

As much as she tried to act otherwise, Chloe was still young. Although, no matter how old someone was, Christmas was always an exciting and magical time of the year.

But, the gifts…

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to get anyone anything,” Flavio said, ashamed of himself. “I, well…”

“It’s all right,” Arianna said, gently patting the back of his hand. “Your safe return is all we could want.”

Honestly, what did he do to deserve such a guild?

“Well, let’s grab Chloe and see how High Lagaard celebrates Christmas,” Fafnir said.

“Oh yes, I so look forward to it!”

With that, the three of them made their way downstairs, to the foyer of the inn. Where they, unsurprisingly, encountered Hana. With her motherly instincts, she immediately noticed their presences, despite them not making a single noise.

“Good morning, dearies!” she immediately crooned as she paddled over to them, and much like Arianna did, she took Flavio’s hand in hers and gave it a motherly pat. “How are you feeling, dear?”

“I’m feeling much better,” Flavio replied honestly.

“That is such a relief!” Hana said. “Chloe has been waiting for you.”

Hm? Really?

Hana released her hold on his hand and half turned away from him. “Chloe, dear, Flavio is up and about!”

At first, there was silence. But after a moment, a pink-haired war magus finally toddled out of the tearoom. She clutched a wrapped gift against her chest as she made her way over to them.

“Here,” she said as he offered the Christmas wrapped parcel to Flavio. “It’s early, but you can have it.”

Flavio was surprised, but retrieved the offering nevertheless. “Are you sure?”

Chloe nodded and toyed with her glasses. “It’s cold.”

Huh?

With everyone urging him onwards, Flavio carefully unwrapped the gift, and soon realised that it revealed a blue and purple knitted piece of clothing.

Oh, it was a scarf! Did she make it? She must have caught on that he did not like the cold.

“Chloe, thank you,” Flavio said as he lifted the scarf and draped it around his neck. The wool was soft and thick, so it was perfect in keeping out the cold.

“You like it?” Chloe asked shyly.

“It’s perfect.” His response made Chloe subtly happy.

Hana clapped her hands cheerfully. “And it’s the perfect day! Go. Head on out and have fun. See the city under the magic of Christmas. And when you all return, I will have the most scrumptious Christmas dinner you have ever had!”

Hm, looked forward to it.

Fafnir slipped his arms around Flavio’s shoulder, and with him by his side, they headed out of the inn, and out into the streets of High Lagaard.

As they walked together, idly chatting, gazing at the beautiful Christmas trees and decorations on every storefront and corner, Flavio noted that the world seemed…different. Somehow. The sun seemed brighter. The snow and winter breeze not as cold. Even the bustling crowds appeared to be more gracious than usual.

It was likely him simply appreciating the peace. Something he took for granted. After two weeks of being on edge, waiting for the next thing to worry about, to be troubled over.

Huh.

All that really happened, didn’t it?

Was it his response to trauma?

“Oh, Dame Regina! It’s good to see you!”

Flavio immediately stilled in his steps as a strange, unknown feeling washed over him. He looked to his left, his gaze falling upon the figure of a certain blonde-haired chef. Dressed warmly in a long winter coat and a clutching a shopping bag in her arms, he did not expect to see Regina out and about. She had only left hospital a couple of days ago. He figured she would still be resting in her family’s care. Receiving burn injuries were no trifling matter.

And, well, in truth he was not entirely sure he was ready to speak with her after what he had learnt.

And from the look on her face, the quick, stoic glance in his direction before abruptly looking away, she had not expected to run into them, either.

Maybe Flavio should just stay in the background and let Arianna do the talking. Bringing up such a conversation on Christmas eve, of all days, would be all too awkward. He did not want to interfere with Arianna’s relationship with the chef. Or the others, for that matter.

He still clutched onto Fafnir’s arm to ensure that his protectiveness did not get the better of him.

“What brings you out in this winter cold?” Arianna asks innocently.

“Well, I’m going to cook Christmas dinner for grampa tonight,” Regina answered. “Just needed to pick up a few things. It’s been a few days since I’ve been in a kitchen. My family have been rather opposed to the idea, but Grampa is the only one has been urging me to get back on the horse, as it were.”

Regina shifted the shopping bags in her arms, unintentionally revealing the white bandages that were still wrapped around her arms. Bandages that covered the burned injuries she received while trying to save the restaurant.

“I’ve decided to try again,” Regina blurted out, her gaze flickering over toward Flavio for a fraction of a second before quickly darting back to Arianna. “With the restaurant, I mean. Grampa insists.”

Arianna clapped her hands together in front of her. “Oh, that’s wonderful news!”

“Y-yeah, my family aren’t thrilled with my decision, though,” Regina said.

He wondered if anyone told her of Schaffer’s hatred of the Dubois family. Oddly, learning that himself had eased his own guilt of what happened. It was not entirely his fault. He was not entirely the cause. He was the reason, but Schaffer, in his own demented way, was just frothing at the mouth to cause harm to the Dubois family, and he just used him.

…No wonder ‘Mandelson’ knew so much about the gentry using and abusing others for their own benefit. He was nothing more than a puppet, used and abused by an unhinged psychopath. Schaffer was a man who plucked others from their own lives, from their families, without a concern or care, placed them under spells, made them dance to his whims and desires, and then killed them off when they were no longer of any use.

Had done so for years.

And gotten away with it.

Everything he said about Regina was everything that…bastard had done to others.

Still, a part of him was glad that the restaurant was to make a return. It had an interesting premise with Auspice’s recipes and with the grimoire stone exchange program that they had created.

And knowing Flavio’s inability to not stick his nose in, he would probably be of assistance once more. In truth, he did not mind acting as a host. He enjoyed the role. He truly did. Meeting and greeting others, speaking with him, bantering with them, recommending meals to the nice customers, and then goading the rowdy ones into trying some of the more colourful meals.

It was fun. Exhausting at times. But fun.

But should he return to the role, it would be under his terms.

“Hey, kid.”

“It’s good to see you’re out enjoying the day.”

Flavio immediately perked up and spun around. Where he came face to face with two very familiar protectors. “You’re back! Is everything ok?”

Hrothgar smiled warmly at him. “Yes, everything is fine. It’s over.”

It was over…

Bertrand folded his arms across his chest and tilted his head to motion over his shoulder. “We ran into a couple of faces we thought you might like to see.”

Confused, Flavio glanced behind Bertrand and his expression immediately brightened once more when two more explorers came into view. “Ah, Connolly and Grant!”

Dressed in regular clothes, duds that looked similar to those of a highlander, Grant rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. “I’m surprised you would want to see my ugly mug again.”

Flavio shook his head. “Now that I better understand the situation, I know that everything is not your fault. Besides, even under Schaffer’s control, you were still protective of me.”

It helped that his eyes were an earthly brown, not that unnatural, vibrant emerald green. A green that had to be a sign, a side-effect of being under control of that bastard, Schaffer.

Grant lowered his arm to his side and smiled. “Ah, I’m glad that part of me was still able to come through.”

Connolly appeared remarkably calmer compared to the last time they had crossed paths. In fact, he looked very different. His silver eyes were striking, the nook in his nose less notable, and his brown hair neater. He even had better colour to his cheeks. “I really need to thank you.”

But Flavio shook his head again. “No. I’m sorry you had to go through all that you did. I wished someone had listened to you sooner. This nonsense could have been stopped ages ago.”

It was truly a shame that the words of a noble were more important, regarded more highly than those of an explorer.

Fafnir turned his attention toward Bertrand. “Did you find anything interesting?”

“We found a few journals and tomes detailing that Schaffer guy’s dedication and madness,” Bertrand promptly replied, before a light frown appeared on his lips. “It’s what we didn’t find that’s interesting.”

That did not sound good. “What do you mean?”

“There was no one else there,” Hrothgar was the one to answer with a bewildered shake of his head. “No other servant, nothing living. Not even a pet. Just graves. Like the one that held Wioleta.”

A feeling of dread washed over Flavio and he was certain that it showed in his face. “There are others?”

“Without Schaffer there to attend to them, they’re harmless,” Connolly promptly reassured. “It’ll take the beginning and interference of a ritual to make them turn into that creature you dealt with.”

Y-yeah, that was what happened with Wioleta. But, what about the searching of vessels? Like what Schaffer tried to do with him? What he did with Connolly’s sister?

Hrothgar placed his hand upon Flavio’s shoulder in an attempt to calm his inner turmoil. “Connolly here knows quite a bit of what Schaffer and the Sidero family has been up. With his help, we can ensure that nothing like it happens again.”

“After Christmas,” Bertrand added. “They’re not going anywhere. I think we all deserve a bit of a vacation, hm?”

That was definitely true!

And he imagined that Connolly and Grant wanted to spend some time together, to catch up. To heal. To simply live after everything they had been through. And to properly mourn Siska’s passing. She had become lost and forgotten in the whole chaos.

“Sounds good,” Flavio replied. “It does ease the mind knowing all of that, though.”

He was about to return to enjoying his day, to purposely and forcibly push aside any and all thoughts of his traumatic experience when he caught sight of someone. Someone he vaguely recognised. Someone dressed in a thick winter’s coat. He almost looked like any other citizen of High Lagaard, busy doing last minute shopping.

But the orange hair and violet eyes reminded him of the grimoire stone. The one that still rested in his pocket. For just in case.

“Fafnir, wait. Just a moment.”

Fafnir turned and arched a questioning eyebrow. “Hm?”

“Just a minute. I’ll be right back.”

He slipped from Fafnir’s hold and smiled reassuringly to him before he broke out into a light jog. He wanted to catch up with the medic before he got too far away.

“Excuse me!”

The young man immediately paused in his steps and turned his violet-coloured eyes in his direction and recognition immediately flickered across his face. “Oh, Mr Flavio,” he said as he turned in his direction. “I heard everything that had happened.”

Flavio winced and rubbed the back of his neck. “A-ah, yeah. Gossip travels faster than an Ariadne Thread around here, doesn’t it?”

The medic smiled politely. “Indeed it does. It is good to see you up and about.”

Flavio lowered his arm to his side and looked at the other young man in earnest. “I really must thank you.”

He received a blink and a look of confusion. “Me?”

“That grimoire stone you gave me. It helped me in ways you could not have imagined.”

The young medic did not immediately reply to that. He tilted his head to the side questioningly, simply studying him for a moment. Slowly, a smile made its way to his lips, and he simply nodded. “I see. Well, I’m glad it was useful to you. And that I was able to help in some small way.”

Flavio regarded him with a small smile, too. “I’m sorry, I don’t think I actually got your name.”

He looked honestly surprised at that. “Oh, didn’t I actually introduce myself? Well, my name is Lynus.”

“Well, Mr Lynus, thank you for the grimoire stone.”

Lynus chuckled. “It was my pleasure. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, Mr Flavio.”

“You, too.”

… … … … …

The sun had well and truly set, and the crowds have slowly started to dwindle. To make their ways home or chosen restaurants and inns to spend their Christmas evenings somewhere warm and cosy.

The day had been pleasant, peaceful. They had spent the day visiting the shops and stores around High Lagaard. They spent a few hours at the bar with Cass. They popped by to visit Abigail at her father’s shop.

Absolutely nothing untoward happened. It was a wonderful day. And they were heading back to the inn, to get their bellies filled with the food that Hana promised them. After all the walking and chatting they had done that day, Flavio was looking forward to it.

“You guys go ahead,” Fafnir suddenly instructed the others as he took Flavio by the hand. “I want to talk to Flavio in private for a moment.”

“Tell Hana we wouldn’t dare miss out on her dinner,” Flavio added.

Arianna, unexpectedly, giggled into her hands. “Yes, of course. Let us go, everyone.”

Tightening his hand around Flavio’s, Fafnir tugged him to the right. “Come here. There’s something I want to give you.”

Hm? Give? Wait-a-minute, did Fafnir get him a gift? Not fair! Flavio did not have anything to give him in return.

Without another word, Fafnir led him toward the majestic Tree of Wishes.

It was truly beautiful at night, and mostly silent. With few people loitering about. Couples, it seemed. Cuddled together before the tree, admiring its beauty. Just enjoying each other’s company.

Just like what he and Fafnir were to do, when Fafnir promptly pulled him into his arms.

“Fafnir, did you get me a gift?” Flavio asked with a pout. “You know I haven’t got anything for you.”

With an arm wrapped warmly around his back, Fafnir reached into the pocket of his coat. “This is different.”

“How is this-?”

He was promptly silenced when Fafnir pulled out a small square box. It was a velvet blue box. A particular shaped object. One that could hold only one thing.

Flavio stared at Fafnir, wide-eyed and lips parted in an expression of surprise and shock. “Wh-what?”

Fafnir presented the small box to him. “I told you; this is just the first Christmas of many.”

Tears welled up in Flavio’s eyes. He swallowed thickly and with shaky hands, he received the gift. And slowly opened the lid. The need to shed tears returned but he pushed them back.

The ring was beautiful. Silver and gold, with a small diamond embedded within the two precious metals. It would fit perfectly upon his finger.

“This is…”

“After Ginnungagap, I vowed to myself that I would show you just how much you mean to me,” Fafnir explained. “I’m not sure if I managed to do that, but I know that this will symbolise just how committed I am to you.”

“Y-you…” Flavio was a loss for words. He could not speak.

So, he used his actions. He plucked the ring from the velvet box and hastily slipped it upon his ring finger. Just as he figured, it fitted him so perfectly. So naturally.

The weight on his finger felt so wonderful.

As they stood in front of that Christmas tree, Flavio framed Fafnir’s face within his hands and kissed him on the lips. Words failed him, but he hoped his actions could convey some of his emotions. They could never hope to truly reveal just how much he loved this man. Nothing truly could. How completely and utterly he loved Fafnir. Heart and soul.

But he could try.

Flavio pulled back, only ever-so-slightly, his lips still brushing against Fafnir’s. “I love you.”

“I love you, too,” Fafnir immediately replied, his arms tightening around him, never letting him go.

They had their entire lives together, after all.

castle 7x8 kill switch

the esposito train bomb episode liveblog

Heehee I'm so excited for this!

I tried to kms today so I got the day off from school after getting home from the hospital. I'm not going to spend much time doing homework tho I'm going to watch castle instead I think after a cide attempt I deserve to watch some Castle.

Married <3

RC: We’re like Nick and Nora Charles. KB: Ooh, like McMillan and Wife. RC: Hart to Hart. KB: Turner and Hooch. RC: Turner and Hooch aren’t even married. KB: Yeah, but you still remind me a little of Hooch.

Yay samebrain moments but give me ryan & esposito being smart too not just becks & sometimes castle. Oh no I just remembered this episode. Forget my wish.

My man the guest star has nice eyes.

Sounds like money laundering to me Healthcare fraud, I mean tbh Canada has pretty bad healthcare in comparison to some places, it is only good compared to the usa.

whose desk is castle at? whose family photo?

RC: I feel the heavy hand of conspiracy. KB: Yeah, well, what else is new? "skullduggery" the federal teat RC: No. But I will once you identify who met Paul at the park. XD Talks to both, hands to becks

Ran the image past tense *is running it now* RC & me: Jared Stone, misdemeanor computer trespassing? TE: Otherwise known as hacking.

KR: You have to admit, Castle’s theory is surprisingly logical. *RC nods* KB: Yes. And it’s conveniently unburdened by evidence. btw where esposito? Oh there Craigslist???? srs?

YAY CAR SCENE MY GUYS JUST CATCHING UP

Espt's face! Bro u'r already a dad, what about tommy & joey? KR: Well, you know, the thing of it is, is you know what it’s like not having a father. You’d make sure your kid never felt that way. JE: Maybe I’m ready for more than that. Coming from mr fear of commitment! Also does anyone else remember the episode in s8? {the sonjia ruiz episode?} JE: Did you hear that? That sound? KR: No. What sound? *looks around the car* JE: That’s my biological clock ticking. Tick, tock. Tick, to-- *Laughs* KR: We were having a genuine, honest moment here. And you had to-- ruin it! by,, being a jackass!, W--

JE: Hold on hold on slow down slow down Me: Again from the top now again from the top now & tell me everything tell me everything?

"hang tight" love the diction yay train station finally new york Lost him XD Earbud phone call Holding it like youre playing President His voice sounds cracky & dry

JE: Hey, bro. (listens) Yeah, followed him down into the subway. I’m looking for him now. KR: What, you lost him? JE: No, I didn’t lose him. I just … don’t have visual contact. KR: That’s kind of splitting hairs, isn’t it? Look, I’ll head down there and I’ll – JE: No, you stay there. I’ll – wait, I see him. He’s at my 12. He’s moving fast. He’s scared, like someone’s after him. "my 12" I love clock directions

YOU are the one following him!

Ryan's probably hella afraid rn w his partner on the train

lol acab. Do that tag babey.

Her gun would NOT be set up to shoot. There is no bullet in the chamber & the safety is on. This is a semi automatic so you don't need to cock in between each shot, but you do need to pull once once to get the bullet in the chamber.

People have taken their guns all the time, like I think the ninja ep or the hong kong ep, obv 3xk, & several times to beckett. But why does SHE have a weapon? Is this was USA cops are like? I thought that just la police nationale had guns for cheap cops who report people for silly graffiti.

His own hand is on his gun now. If it was good for the plot Esposito would have shot him already probably. Esposito itchy trgger finger rn. But aren't new yorkers used to this they just don't pay attention to guns pulled on the subway?

Is that REALLY how the brakes work? all the sparks like that? Where is the engineer? Do the lights do that?

Say ok & do it SLOWLY & remove the ammunition bro

Ooh intense. Love this all. Phones & guns & blunt instruments & acab wow jared so valid bestie. But also these people are trying to get to work.

It's just a phone bro but yeah good job everyone

Why are you yelling at him NOW of all times? I thought it would be best to keep things quiet on your end, radio silence. Seaking of radios why aren't you on the radio already & are you recording the phone call? (& why is Ryan's contact jjust "Ryan" not his full name? Oh wait I just realized, Ryan was silent until now for radio silence purposes & now he's yelling bc "javi"'s phone has been taken away.

title card & I have been watching this for like four hours or smth. No probably closer to two. Granted I've also been doing a million other things.

Bella & Ty my beloved. But be quiet & let the captor think. Grant also my beloved.

Apologize bro.

Evacuating because the brake was pulled duh or wait no they SHOULD wait for the intercom & THEN leave. Yeah. Except espt was phone ryan. yes PLEASE hit redial.

Nobody was talking bro! Except.. they were

Girl these three get their weapons taken All the time

Marisa Aragon & Javier Esposito. First names babes.

Love Grant. What a man.

JS: I think you’ll get your chance. ... (so good)

My bonvolio chorus here from VG: I’ve just been informed that Jared Stone, a person of interest in the Paul Reeves case, drew a gun on a subway and took hostages, including Detective Esposito. *KB is SHOCKED* At this point, it’s not clear why Jared Stone … VG: Right now, our sole priority is to gather any and all information on Jared Stone so the hostage rescue team will know who we’re dealing with. All intel comes to me so I can forward it directly to HRT. They should be on the scene right now.

Captain Bigalow/Bigelow depending on the transcipr or the captions & Detective Ryan. Sir he's a hack-- *I pause it to liveblog*

Solid <3

KR: Hey, Beckett. I’m sorry. KB: Kevin, no one could have seen this coming. (first names <3) KR: No, no. He’s my partner. I should have never let him go in there alone. KB: We’ve gotta focus on getting Javi out of there. So once you brief HRT just head over to Stone’s apartment. (First names <3) KR: .? Leave the scene? (Aaaah) KB: Look, there’s nothing that you can do that HRT isn’t already doing. And if we want to help Javi out, then the best thing that we can do is find out who Jared Stone is and why he is doing this. And some of those answers might be at his apartment. It’s the last thing KR wants to do. KR: Okay. I’ll check it out and let you know. KB hangs up.

Idk how much I want to clip I just want to clip So Much

Lanie!

Can't they remontely access people's phones? grave disruption of trust & privacy?

Ooh I love becks' voice rn. Good for the plot to have a cam tho ig. love it.

Wow. yay. another cop.

Love Jared playing classical music to either get him happy, calm him down, or get him pumped for killin. Or calm himself down. (Fic idea: esposito like music to calm down. vent fic.) She is like me, doesn't rly know what's going on but still rly skilled & aware. I kind of haate Aragon but I also kinda like her.

JE: I might need you to back me up. Can you do that? (Back me up, great words.) She nods. MA: What’s your play? JS’S condition is getting worse. He’s jerky and nervous and keeps taking hits off his inhaler. JE: Talk to him. Try to get him see the light, then disarm him if I get the chance. (Cheers ig) MA: I should talk to him. (JE does a double take which I sadly will not clip) I’m the one wearing the Kevlar. (tru) JE: Yeah, but I’ve already got a rapport with the guy, so… (Also true) MA: A bad rapport. (She isn't wrong) MA: I know what this is. I’m just a transit cop. (Or he trusts himself more since he has training in this???) MA: You gold shield guys always acting like you’re better than us. JE: We are better than you. (Asshole) (But he's right in the sense that he has more training & experience relevant to this. probably.) He smirks. She glares at him. He ignores her. JE: Mr. Stone! (JS takes his earbuds out) Permission to speak? (polite. smart.) JS: (gestures With His Gun) Go ahead.

wdym not here?

just *has a bomb* like ok

Ooh a dead man switch, interesting...

Plot twist!

Good point, 1% does not take the subway. Heck even the 2 & 3 %ers don't take subway.

he remembers which phone is espt's?

Julian & LT XD remove your shoes so valid bro

Wealth management. obv lol. You know I lost some people close to me & inherited a little over a thousand canadian since watching this the first time & now I actually need to know how to manage wealth. Some of tha advice my grandpapa's money guy told us was like,, 20-50 years out of date, or weird (like "if you teach your 30 ppl you do good but if you make 3 people teach 30 pl each for you then you get 90 people for the work of only doing 3" & I'm like 'what so the three original ppl I taught don't get paid for teaching 30 ppl? that isn't meritocracy (what ppl think

Wealth management. obv lol. You know I lost some people close to me & inherited a little over a thousand canadian since watching this the first time & now I actually need to know how to manage wealth. Some of tha advice my grandpapa's money guy told us was like,, 20-50 years out of date, or weird (like "if you teach your 30 ppl you do good but if you make 3 people teach 30 pl each for you then you get 90 people for the work of only doing 3" & I'm like 'what so the three original ppl I taught don't get paid for teaching 30 ppl? that isn't meritocracy (what ppl think capitalism is), that is employee abuse & a pyramid scheme' but go off) but a lot of it is also good & smart! You know the math where you smoke a cigarette a day (except sundays) & it's $10/pack & there are 12 in a pack & so you do the math & could afford a house if you didn't smoke? Yeah well you don't smoke so why don't you have a car? Pretend you smoke. Put away five dollars every week, & then it eventually adds up. They say "& one day you can put away $10/week or $50" but that is partially only if you start getting paid more, which these days often doesn't happen. (Ofc you can increase it some ways by like being aware of your costs & then you will find you have that extra to put away but the big numbers? You need a better paying job.) Oh & one of the worst pieces of advice: "For five years I didn't see my friends at all, I missed all their weddings, & now I'm rich. Now I'm rich I only work an hour & a half a day & it's a job I like (talking to people & doin money math) & my friends all hate me" like girl of course they hate you. You could have been almost as rich as you are now but have better relationships. Ofc he does have friends who are also wealthy so like good for him but still man. You deserve to see your friend's wedding. You deserve to say "No, I am NOT working this day" because your boss values you. Your boss should value you enough to let you have days off; your boss should NOT value you BECAUSE you never request days off. Also, not everyone wants to be a rich business owner (who does So Much work genuinely, at least in the first few years,) & then retire. Most people Like working! He said so himself! He likes his job talking to people & doing math! His son in law still has a job because he likes being occupied! My mom is a volunteer coordinator, volunteers exist! People want to work! We just don't want to work until we break & then retire & do nothing but golf (ew). The cognitively disabled factory worker who likes repetitive tasks & is highly trainable but not necessarily a good individual thinker or problem sovler still deserves to live without breaking their body & still deserves to retire or cut their hours if they ever want.

Sorry, just. Wealth management. Yeah heheh. ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED NOT FIFTEEN HUNDRED

Maldives? (btw I like tory's standing desk.)

VG/HRT: What kind of pizza does Esposito like? mkes me insane. but what if he likes plain cheese? KB: Uh .. pineapple, olives, and double jalapeños, sir. Makes me Even More InSane

the point of a shredder is to destroy important documents. Acab. (why make lt hold it why not just put it down on the side??

btw they have everyone sitting on normal seats now not just the floor

They literally just went to your address & saw you board a train bro Me & JE: What’s White Knight?

bOB <:( I like Jared. He's like "Yeah I'm fine. They're fine. I want them to not be hungry. My goal is not to hurt these people, let's get them some food." But he forgot to give his demands until prompted. Arin Wilson released from prison! I love captions btw. JS: "Erin Wilson" but RC: "Aaron Wilson" btw his eye contact with the camera sooo good. & I like gates' necklace btw. He is looking not-ok tho, progressively getting worse at such a pace I barely notice it

RC: So she’s a hacker, too? Me: So she’s a hacker too!! RC: It’s a non-extradition country. Ohhhh RYAN IS BACK MY MAN someone should give him a hug. Him & Parish Yay background characters

Yeah they know that girl shut up

"soul mate" tbh that's cute. I like jared minus the fact he's holding a train car hostage JE: Well, why didn’t you give Bob more to go on so he knew who you were talking about? true JS: I want to keep him off balance. Maintain control. valid ig? JE: You get that tip off the internet? ‘Cause it’s not a very good one. bro not a good thing to say JE: What’s White Knight? Doesn't tell us anything (good for the plot) JS: You. The husband. Go. Get the food. I know you’ll come back. He's right ig, but what if he doesn't

My adhd would NOT let me hold that thing

I love him & his free erin wilson website wow white knight we have a word now. I bet it is paul reeves but that wouldn't make sense

I mean they KNOW espt is there of COURSE they;d give him his fave Lol aragon I love her

that is a crappily made pizza but at least it has a lot of toppings. Tbh it was probably made by a teenaged line cook. Also it does not look like it has been cut...

YAY STUFF IS HAPENING

VG: HRT thinks the Erin Wilson demand is a ruse. Why? Why do they think that?

HOLD ON SHE'S AT THE 54TH Making convo lol fuck the military acab & these poor guys holy shit fuck the military. They're designed to be the same person tho. POC, quit the military, became a cop, 54th, kinda pissy but also in a straight-backed sort of way (lol miliraty)... they are the same person. I like espt's voice when it goes low & soft like that.

JE: Hey, why did you become a cop? MA: (shrugs) Got out of the Army. It’s what made the most sense. JE: Me too. You miss the service? MA: Some parts. Not others. JE: Married? Kids? MA: No. Don’t do this, okay? Don’t try to take my mind off of what’s coming. I don’t need anyone holding my hand. JE: You know, you’ve got a chip on your shoulder the size of Stonehenge. I was just trying to get to know you a little bit.

THAT'S what they meant by flicker!?!?

Be quiet aragon.

Lil bro: what if they just killed Esposito? Me: That'd be one way to get a different actor...

They don't know you have a dead man switch Jared... You have never said you have a bomb... Except I mean at the very start they knew espt was on the phone with another cop He has experience using a gun? His aim is good enough? He had a gun? in his back pocket? with the safety off? Good way to lose a buttcheek

Ok Lanie she actually likes him cool cool but what about ryan? What about Esposito's mom? I mean I wouldn't call Esposito's mom until he's actually dead...

True! We're so focused on stone now that we have forgotten about paul reeves! Like Lightbulb Len!

Lanie smart moments?

Beckett just mentioned the flu virus & now I suddenly remember what Lanie noticed.

I remember WHY he was instructed to stall for time JE: He passes out and releases that switch we’re all dead. Yeah legit

Girl why don't you have your shoelace ALREADY out? you said NEXT PUFF what if he took the next puff BEFORE you got your shoelace out?? Hold on a sec, her shoes are NOT cop approved. At least his are steel toed & black. JS: Don’t worry, everyone. It’s almost over. See? He actually cares about these people sort of. Or at least he doesn't WANT to hurt them.

I'd be hella careful y'all... She knows what to do itiod. But watching it slowed down to see things my deaf ass had trouble reading his lips & then I noticed: why do they kick him down first?

Yay ryan!

h5n1 I remember that. We were talking abt it in my martial arts class when one of our instructors was a doctor & she was giving us info at the start of covid.

One person terrorizing you to espt terrorizing you lol.

Lethal? Yeah don't y'all remember the influenza epidemic when they had interviews with ppl & over the course of like a 40 minute interview they would go from perfectly fine to dead? & now we get shots for it every year & the majority of people (those at the top of the bell-curve or one end of it; abled, not old, etc) don't die from it.

VG: There is a vaccine Lil bro: but it's one million dollars. Castle, pay up. & even if it is lethal, that doesn't mean it is going to kill everyone, it is just ABLE to kill you!

JS: You’re not the priest. KB: No, but I can take your confession. Good line

Jared was just a patsy, a scapegoat, a pawn to be sacrificed. A fall guy. He doesn't WANT to get others sick!

RC: The lab from which the virus went missing, Latham Pharmaceuticals? They’re the same company that makes the vaccine Sounds legit, sadly.

Ooh I like Beckett's outfit!

I can't believe her job is literally to investigate government scams & she's doing this

"I didn't think ppl would get killed, they could just buy the vaccine & that's how I get rich!" Poor people exist, anti-vaxxers exist, people who are really slow at doing stuff (like me) exist!

Is he just... shoving his gun into his pocket? At the hospital? I went to the hospital yesterday bc I wanted to kms & they had to confiscate my razor (I forgot I had multiple & ended up bringing one with me by accident-- also kept my ethnic knife (which my instructor called a mezzaluna when it is actually an ulu bc I may not be inuit but I sure as hell am native) which, oops, but I didn't want to not get it back; I wanted to still have it) anyway they don't let you have guns or ammunition in hospitals wo why does esposito have his gun here??

Aragon wearing normal clothes!

JE: You did all right down there. I don’t care what they say about transit cops. MA: Mmm. What they say about gold shields is even worse, mostly because it’s true. lol acab

JE: We make a tight team. MA: Bonds forged in the heat of battle. You know how it is. JE: Yeah. Fuck the military, I’m so sorry for you MA: I wasn’t straight with you. I have a five year old son. He’s confused. (What's that zoom about?) JE: Uh … you said that you didn’t have a family. Why hide that? (Ye, y) MA: I didn’t want you worried about me being a mom down there. (Oh. Valid JE: (scoffs) You are a piece of work, Marisa. MA: Who’s Lenny? He is confused. MA: Or is it Lanie? (Thinks it’s a man’s name at first, She totally clocked him.) He freezes. JE: How do you know about her? MA: On my last tour an IED blew out my eardrum. I got pretty good at reading lips. You were saying her name before you took down Stone. (I’m hoh in one ear & I’m adhd so I watch ppl’s lips but I struggled to see what he was saying. I actually thought it was “I love you lanie I lov–” yk?) JE: Yeah, I don’t … I don’t remember that. (Lying bc he likes marisa– until she revealed she has a kid & is possibly married? Or he actually doesn’t remember?) MA: Who you think of in that moment? It has weight. Don’t trade what’s real for something that isn’t. (Valid but Lanie is happy where she is. Or at least she was but now she’s cryin watching javi in the train) MA: I’ll see you around, Javi.

What's that music?

Lil bro: When esposito starts a company selling air Me: (Like in the Lorax?) Lil bro: Javi-Air

The person who sits by beckett is Det Sch (I can't see the rest)

Yay he's back@ He ruins it by being a jackass again

Lanie!!!

I thought this was where the line "we both deserve something more" came from & i was "is he proposing or breaking up I can't tell" but ig I was wrong

Yay drinks

CASTLE DAD MOMENTS XD XD XD

In the TWO DAYS I've had off school I've only managed one castle. I just love them too much & do other work. I should go back to giving myself a 1.5 hour limit. That was back when I had recently seen the ep tho. Tbh this was worth $100 & a trip to the ER. I got some time to bleach my bones, sleep in, watch castle, make a soup... Now all I need to do is shower, see my doctor, catch up on chores, catch up on homework, & do everything else I need to do before I go back to school. Ugh.

“I am! And you must be one of the Saltzman twins. Could smell the gemini on you. The real question is, are you Linda? Or Jonie? I can never tell you two apart!”
