Obey Me Headcanons

Reader is gn also winchester.

warnings: swear words. I don't know what to put in this. it's my first time actually so definitely be prepared of messy writing and some grammar mistakes?

a/n: hey! I hope you like it since I started watching supernatural again. I thought why don't I give it a try. I didn't add belphegor since this headcanon/fic takes a place in the first month of the whole exchange program. ✨here you are✨

word count: 1,7k

summary: reader is the youngest sibling of winchesters, end up in devildom.

okay so, you and your brothers were after a stupid shapeshifter for two weeks now and let me tell you that, being in a same car with your annoying brothers for two weeks without getting any rest to deal with them was sucked.

this shapeshifter (you guys were guessing he was an alpha since he was fast and wasn't struggling with shifting.) was homicidal maniac to be honest. he killed more than thirty children in a two weeks row and they were so random. like he was killing for fun. there were not any pattern or connection between them.

town to town, city to city. you and your brothers chased him non stoppingly. your body was craving for some bed to sleep on. or a pillow. or anything that is soft and resting. these leather seats were hella uncomfortable.

and still, still you had a very little information about him. he was leaving lots of trace for you to find him. he seemed like he was enjoying your little chasing game. well that makes one. because you were this close to lose your shit.

you were watching stars from your side of the car window while driving (the road was soo empty. you were sure you could drive with your eyes closed). your older brothers music was keeping you company on a low sound level to not to wake them up. normally Dean wouldn't trust you with his car but he was tired. after all he was driving for two weeks with a very little rest. he needed some sleep. at least more than six hours. and Sam, well he just likes sleeping and napping.

so when your vision blurred suddenly you act quick to pull over. without any second you found yourself in a room. it was like a court room with eight chairs. different animal shadows was painted on the walls behind the court chairs. dark decorations and purple&black flags all over the place. only some candles were lighting the whole room.

spooky?

later you found out you were in devildom as an exchange student for a whole year just because some fancy underground elite wanna show off to three realm that he's the one and only king that can bring peace and serenity. you were his little experiment.

anyone could tell you were beyond being angry. you were frustrated. and nothing, nothing you do could change that.

or you thought...

he knew keeping you under his control would be hard so he decided to do what he can do best.

dealing.

if you could stay here without giving him or the house of lamentation any trouble for a month, he was going to release you. but he was sure you would want to stay here after you spent a month. (he knew thanks to barbatos..)

you didn't say anything to him. you knew your brothers would come to get you before that. even if it means they have to destroy whole "devildom". you were sure. also you didn't have anything to use against these demons except your tattoo (which would only work if one of them wanna take over your body.) so the best option was keeping your mouth shut and agreeing with them. you just had to wait for a month.

first night was hard.

not that it got any easier for some time.

you couldn't sleep but who could have blame you. you were in hell. it doesn't matter which fancy name they were calling it. it was hell. the sulphuric smell was unbearable and of course you only had silver knives with you (you were carrying them in your shoe. they were kinda small but since a lot of creatures has a weak spot for silver the size didn't matter. you wished it could harm demons too) so you were unarmed.

they seemed nice tho. they were kind to you (most of the time) especially Beelzebub. so you thought to give them a shot. what could have happen worst?

Lucifer realized the runes you used to seal your room when he was bringing some paper work to your room about exchange program.

these kind of runes were useless here. but he didn't want to say anything to you, clearly you needed them.

Mammon was your 'first' guy. he was with you on your way to RAD and also in your classes. (Lucifer made sure that you two have the same class schedule) eventually you started talking with him because it was impossible not to. he was charming, talkative and funny. you would be lying if you said you wouldn't enjoying his company during your time with him. (especially after the whole pact thing. it only brought you two closer.)

you were quick to remove all runes in your room after that. because you and mammon started watching movies together. sometimes Beel and Levi would join you.

and when you were not, you were with Asmodeus.

your father was trying to keep a balance between his kids and his hunting business, most of the time you were with your brothers. they were pretty protective over their younger sibling. that actually explained why you didn't have any friends.

so when asmodeus asked you to come shopping with him you were slightly shocked?

yeah, of course you and your brothers went to shopping but it was because of some necessity not for fun or spending your time.

but your nervousness passed quickly around him. he was lovely, and so very kind. you actually liked how straightforward he was. and this little "shopping sprees" turn into your things.

your first and genuine interactions with all of the brothers were on a dinner.

they were trying to scare mammon by using the so told "ghosts" in their house. they were just joking around but even the thought of them made the second eldest shudder.

you didn't say anything because you were enjoying your well-cooked meal which was from human realm (they decided to put some human world food in their menu in order to make you feel more comfortable)

"there's no such a thing as ghosts!"

Mammon said without waiting more. you could sense the anger mixing with fear in his voice. then you feel a sudden urge to laugh.

"oi, what are ya laughing at human!"

"of course there is Mammon. they're pretty common. I'm sure there is one in this house."

you couldn't stop your laughter. there wasn't anything funny about it actually but come to think of it, he was one of the most powerful demon in three realms and scared of low level creatures like ghosts?

brothers always forgot they actually have a hunter in their houses---

they all asked tons of questions about ghosts and other stuffs you've been hunting.

satan was the most curious one about this topic. he asked you many questions about them after dinner. of course he read all about them but it was just basic informations to be honest. (and they all sounded like a fairytale tbh)

please don't be surprised when he actually arranges some kind of hunting trip with you to examine them closely. lucifer didn't know about that.

but figured it out when two of you showed up to RAD very late, smelling like rock salt and fuel.

you gave him one of your notebooks (you started to take notes about the creatures you're hunting with your brothers just like your father did. you already had four notebooks for now. it was like diary.) to study. he appreciates it. :''

okay here's another thing, your older brothers appetite was something you've never seen before. or you thought before meeting with Beelzebub.

when you met Beelzebub for the first time you didn't mind his eagerness to eat that much. (Dean was your family's Beelzebub lol.) obviously you couldn't eat as much as he does but your company kept him happy.

he was giving you big-bear-hugs whenever you talk about your brothers or how bad you missed them. (he feels you :'))

you two started to go diners or whatever they were calling it so often. he was kind and thoughtful. even invited you to join him for workouts. (since you're not going hunting trips anymore, you decided to join him on gym to keep yourself and your form steady.)

after gym you usually would watch a show called "I'm an unstoppable powerful wizard but still don't know how to fall in love with someone so I'm hunting other creature's to forget about my massive heart-break but it's not really a heart-break." which was a good show to be honest.

thats how you got close with Levi. he already was impressed your skills as a hunter ('they're like, out of an anime!' he thought) so he invited you for long gaming sessions in his room. since you were always in a car. it was difficult first. but you got used to it. (he was good at teaching)

you spent tons of sleepless night with him: watching movies and animes, playing games, reading and re-acting manga scenes.

the most challenging demon to communicate was lucifer. he already met your brothers. and he didn't like them. he had a strong prejudice about you. he thought you were just like your brothers.

but after some time, when you started to get more comfortable around other brothers it also effected your relationship with the eldest.

and it all started with a dumb question.

he was doing some paperwork for lord diavolo with you about the exchange program. when you sighed for the millionth time in an hour. he had no choice but ask what was the problem.

"can you look into my eyes and ask me what do I truly desire?"

he was confused?

"I mean there's a Lucifer in human world who can bring people's darkest desires. so I was wondering if you could do the same."

now he was more confused.

there was a Lucifer in human realm? and what was his ability again?

when you try to explain him and failed over and over again you decided to show him.

and you two started to watch Lucifer.

he actually enjoyed spending some alone time with you.

after a month, your brothers never showed up. you didn't want them to. Lucifer said he taken care of them. and he promised that he didn't hurt them.

even if you missed your brothers too much. you knew one year wouldn't hurt anyone.

after all maybe that 'underground elite' was right. he was the one and only who could bring peace and serenity over the three realms...

and you were very thankful to him.

Trouble in Devildom Town, Part 1/3

In this short story, our dear Leviathan is back with another one of his “hey I teleport you Normies into a game world”- kinda games. What will the happen inside the world of the game “Trouble in Terrorist Town”??

This story contains two OCs/ MCs, so if you´d like to know more about the girls Violet and Clover, you can check out their character designs & descriptions on my blog :D

Hope you´ll have fun on this three-parted adventure!

Approximate reading time: 10~15 minutes

Words: 3.156 words

It was a calm, neat Saturday evening, when a new message hit the "House of Lamentation" group chat...

Leviathan:

OMGGGGGG

GUYS (and girls LOL)

YOU NEED TO COME OVER TO MY ROOM ASAP

Satan:

Mammon:

To your room? Seriously?!

Asmodeus:

I can't remember having Levi calling us over ever before... What's going on??

Leviathan:

LESS TALKING, MORE COMING OVER.

Lucifer:

I do hope for you this matter is worth the ruckus...

Clover:

We'll be there in a sec!

And so, the whole mansion's population found themselves in the third-born's room a few minutes later.

"Levi..." Being the last one to step inside the crowded room, Belphegor was rubbing his eyes in a tired manner. "Would you tell us what's going on now...?"

However, Leviathan wasn't really going to answer any of their questions.

Instead, he was prompting his guests to close the door, his gaze drifting over all of them.

Lucifer crossed his arms.

"This maniac expression on your face is highly worrying, Levi," Lucifer said.

Levi turned towards his computer, hectically mashing his keyboard, clicking on several pop-ups that appeared on his monitors, before finally turning around to properly face them.

He wore a crazy smile.

"Dammit, Levi," Mammon burst out, "I'm not in the mood for your weird shi-"

Ignoring him, Levi spoke in his best terrifying voice.

"I welcome you..."

Before anyone could react, he pressed a last key, then the monitors emitted such a strong light that all of them had to close their eyes.

Slowly able to see again, the nine of them suddenly found themselves in a little shack.

"What... What happened...?" Violet was the first one to take a proper look around. "Where are we?!"

Leviathan's laugh pulled them out of their confusion. He spread his arms triumphantly.

"Welllcome tooo....

Trouble in Terrorist Town, the special, virtual reality but actually it's true reality -edition!!"

"Trouble in... What?" Mammon asked.

"Wait..." Clover was searching for Levi's attention. "I know this game, I've played TTT before. But why are we... really here?"

Satan shot his otaku brother a glare.

"Is this one of your real life games that you are only allowed to leave when you win??"

"Kind of," Levi laughed. "Don't worry though, if you die here, you don't die for real. You'll get kicked into a spectator lobby and we'll all respawn together once the round is over."

The oldest brother gave a stressed sigh.

"Really, now..." Lucifer rubbed his temples in distress. "Why do you always force us into playing your games without asking first...?"

"Well... I feared all of you would say no if I did" Levi responded, actually in a slightly sad tone.

When Lucifer breathed another sigh, they heard Asmo giving a weird squeal.

"Look at our outfits tho~!" he hummed.

He was standing in front of a partly broken mirror, posing while blowing his reflection some hot kisses.

"A simple black, military look, slightly armoured just at the right places... And oh my, tight clothes just show all those curves and perfections of my astonishing body..."

As he was looking around to find someone who would agree with him, his eyes landed on Clover.

"Isn't that right, darling~?"

The girl didn't even look at him.

Instead, she was staring at somebody else with a heavy blush covering her face.

"Y-yeah... Curves and... Perf... Perfection..."

Asmo wouldn't need to, but nonetheless he followed her gaze to find the sixth-born.

Of course, Beelzebub noticed this piercing glare that laid on him, but (fortunately for the girl), he was too pure to correctly interpret the thirst behind it.

"Huh? Clover? Are you not feeling well? You look like you have a fever..."

He hurried over to check that her face was truly burning hot, and of course only getting warmer now that he was this close, in this soldier like, perfect, absolutely stunning uniform that just-

"GUYS!!"

Thankfully, Leviathan saved the girl from passing out.

"The game is about to start soon and you don't even know the rules!!"

With a little frown, Violet leaned against the wooden wall that Satan was already rested against.

"So we're really going to play this crazy game...?" she mumbled so only the blond could hear.

She gained a chuckle.

"I guess so..." Satan whispered. "Although I must say, weird and extreme as they may be, but Levi's games can be quite amusing if you just go with the flow."

She mustered him, then a smile spread on her face as well.

"Well, I guess we should take all the opportunities we can to do crazy stuff while Clover and I are here in the Devildom."

Before Satan could answer, Levi threw a pebble at them.

"You listen as well, Normie!!"

Then, he finally went to explain the rules...

"In our group of nine, there are three that are not like the rest...

They are traitors.

They work as a trio, trying to kill all the other players in order to win the game.

But who are they, you ask yourself?

Well, that is a thing only they know, and THE thing the innocent one's have to find out.

To their guidance is the almighty detective.

Unlike the traitors, the detective can, or should, reveal his role so that the remaining players, called the 'innocents', can protect him better.

Then, logically, the innocents' and detective's goal is to find the three traitors and eliminate them.

When the game starts, we may run out of this shack and will have additional two minutes to spread over the map. Keep in mind that in those two minutes it is impossible to harm your co-players, but after that, it's time for war.

The map is covered with all sorts of weapons that may help you in the epic fights we will have.

But behold!

Both, the traitors and the detective, have access to special weapon shops, where they can, any time, any place, trade achievement points for super cool, limited items to grant their victory!

On your wrists, a health bar will appear, but you can only see your own. Once your life points reach zero, you will be put into said spectator lobby and may follow the game like ghosties in the sky! Then you will also see who has which role."

Levi took a look around after having finished.

"Any other questions?"

Belphie raised his hand.

"Do the traitors know who the other traitors are? Or can they kill each other?"

"Very good questions! They know of each other, but they may also kill each other if it gives any tactical advantages. Their goal is to have at least one traitor alive at the end of the game while the rest is dead.

Ah, I forgot to say...! If an innocent person or the detective kills another innocent one, they will die as well, as a penalty."

After a round of silence, everyone looked as if they were ready.

"Good to go?" Levi checked one last time.

Gaining nods as an answer, a big smile grew on Levi's face.

"Alright!!! Then...

Let's begin!!!"

The players were just about all out of the shack when the game officially started.

A giant countdown manifested in the bright sky of day that, judging by the bright sunlight, must have been the sky of the human world.

Two minutes were slowly ticking down.

Levi was pointing up at the clock...

"After this preparation time starts the overall time of one hour. If that time is over, the innocents will win as well. But for every person the traitors kill, they gain five minutes to add to the counter."

... And then he pointed down on his arm.

"You should all see a role written on here. And the traitors will see two other player's names on here as well."

He gained a round of hesitant nods.

"Our player names are displayed above our heads. Be careful, they might reveal your position if you're not hiding well enough."

They heard Belphie snort with laughter.

He pointed above Mammon's head.

"'StupidMammon'? I like that name, it's better than your real one!"

"Huh?!" Mammon looked up to see it himself. "WhAT?! Levi, did you give me this shitty name AGAIN?!??"

"Lolololol, sorry Mammon, I had to."

Kind of automatically, everyone needed to check their names before doing anything else.

Lucifer raised an eyebrow.

"Most of our names are normal, though... We have Beel, Belphie, I am 'Lucifer' as usual..."

"Yep! I am Levi-chan, and the Normies are Violet-chan and Clover-chan."

"What an honour to have a naming scheme fitting your name," Violet smiled.

"Well, I felt kind today. Don't push your luck, or I'll change it into Normie #1 and Normie #2 for the next round."

O moment later, Satan gave a sigh.

"... Why am I called 'Stan'?"

Levi looked at his name.

"... Oh. Must be a typo lololol"

The others laughed a little, while the Avatar of Wrath tried to contain his displease, but out of all, Asmo seemed to find it the most amusing.

Which was weird, because he was completely ignoring the fact that his nickname wasn't normal either, but there was an extra fat "Ass-mo" written above his head...

After a round of getting used to the sensation of being inside a video game, Violet clasped her hands to finally get things started.

"Could we get going? There's only less then a minute left before the friendly fire wears off."

Very grateful for helping to get the game going, Levi was about to dismiss everyone, when he remembered one important detail.

"WAIT!!" he screamed.

"What?! I wanna go already...!" Asmo whined.

Levi looked around.

"The most important role!! Who's the detective?!"

Everybody shot each other glances, then, finally, a little "ah!" caught their attention.

Their gazes landed on Mammon.

"There's 'detective' written on my left arm, so I guess it's me?"

"WHAT?!" Levi pressed out. "OH, MAN....! Why does it have to be MAMMON?!"

"Well, I guess the innocents are on their own, then," Satan agreed to Levi's resignation.

"With Mammon as the most powerful innocent, the traitors have a clear advantage," Lucifer agreed, too.

"Aw, maaan, and I was hoping for an exciting first round..." Asmo pouted, of course, in agreement.

The white haired male gave a growl.

"H-hey!!! Don't be like this, I'll kill those traitor bitches in no time!!"

But no one was listening.

In a collective sigh, all the others automatically started to move, not a single soul feeling the need to stick to the one person they knew was one of the good ones.

"Hey!!" Mammon called out again. "Aren't ya innocents s'posed to guard me?! Where are y'all going?!?!"

... But no one was listening.

"Grr... Just you wait...! I'll slay this game!!"

And with that, he turned to follow behind Lucifer and Violet, whining and screaming at them to wait for him, only to see how Lucifer was fastening his step.

Walking through the deserted village and onto a wide, open area, Clover soon felt her fear of being chased kick in.

Somehow, she had ended up all by herself, but that only made stumbling about so much worse.

But now, as she turned her head to check if someone was following her, she saw how Satan had been trying to follow her in silence.

As they locked eyes, however, he greeted her with a smile and went up to her as if nothing had happened.

"... Hi," Clover mumbled carefully.

"Please don't mind my behaviour," the blond said while gesturing to continue walking together. "I still have to figure out how to properly behave in this situation. I mean, it's not every day that we suddenly face each other as maybe allies, maybe enemies... right?"

The girl shot him a sceptical glance.

"Well, that's true... But if your goal is to not appear suspicious, then... Don't to that again. Just a friendly little piece of advice."

Satan laughed.

"Yes, my apologies. You see, you have mentioned you know this game, so I found it best to stick to you."

They halted as they found a pistol laying on a boulder nearby, a package of ammunition right next to it.

Both of them were hesitating, then Satan turned around to continue.

"You take it," he said, obviously trusting that Clover wouldn't shoot his back right this instant.

Well this, or he was already bearing a weapon...

"I've seen people play this game lots," Clover continued the conversation. "I know how everything works, but I'm afraid I'm pretty bad at all the aiming stuff..."

The two reached a weird cliff that parted the land in a huge gap, no ground to be seen in the huge depths. One of those super unstable-looking wooden bridges was leading to the other side.

The platform on the other side was rather small, with only a few buildings in the middle of it.

Satan held his chin in a contemplative manner.

"I bet there must be some rare items waiting for those who would go that far and cross the bridge..."

Clover gave a nod.

"Probably... Welp, you can get the stuff, I have terrible fear of heights, so I'm not going over that wobbly bridge thingy."

The girl was about to leave again, but the male got hold of her wrist.

"No, you're coming with me."

"What?! Why?"

He searched for her eyes.

"Look. I trust that you're innocent, and I ask you to trust me, too. I could have already killed you if I wanted to, when you were all alone. But we need to work together if we want to stand a chance against the traitors and whatever special weapons they might have."

He made a little pause while the girl fought with herself to make up her mind.

"Please," he said again.

Finally, Clover gave an annoyed grunt.

"Fiiiine..." she grumbled. So, she pointed at the bridge. "But you go first... Mister Stan."

She stressed his nickname in a manner to mock him.

Satan looked at her for a moment, dazzled, then he turned around and could only give a breathy laugh.

"See, now you can be sure that I am innocent. Because if I was allowed to kill you just now, I definitely would have."

"Oooh, Leviii!"

Asmo was nearly doing little jumps while trotting alongside the third-born. His excitement was visible, but very odd, and of course Leviathan noticed that his brother was acting strange.

"Asmo, for Lord Diavolo's sake, what's wrong with you?!"

Putting on his best puppy eyes, Asmo looked at him all innocent.

"Eeh? Shouldn't you be happy that somebody actually enjoys your weird games for once?"

Levi growled in response, moving through the deserted village with such care, as if death could be waiting behind every next corner.

... Well, it could, yes, but his super secret agent act was just... a little too much...

"Sure, but... You're almost TOO excited about this. A little shady, if you ask me... Like, out of all games, why would one where we kill each other be one to wake your interest?!"

He gained a dramatic rolling-of-eyes.

"Oh, please, Levi! It's not the killing or tactical contemplation that gets me excited... But think about the potential that this scenario bears!"

They peeked inside one of the empty houses.

There were two weapons inside, a crowbar and a shotgun without ammunition.

Breaking the nearest window, Levi climbed inside to pick them up, and was kind enough to give Asmo the crowbar even though he hasn't done anything worth gaining it (as Asmo had even been too scared to get a cut from climbing through the broken window so he didn't move an inch).

"What potential, exactly?" Levi asked, more because he felt like Asmo would pressure him into asking that anyway.

Glad that he could continue his speech, Asmo placed a dramatic hand on his forehead.

"The potential for drama, Levi!! Just imagine... us lonely wolves lumbering through the streets, and our maidens Violet and Clover shivering in fear!"

He changed his pose, wrapping his arms around himself as if hugging someone.

"Oh, whom should they trust?? Their hearts, their minds, or just nobody at all?!"

Then, he suddenly grabbed Levi by his shoulders, getting pretty close to his face.

"Love blooms in times of war, Levi! And I will take every chance I can to see those flowers in their full beauty!"

Silence.

Then, Levi gave an exhausted sigh.

"... Can you please go away...?"

And Asmo let go of him.

"Tsk. Okay, if you're not mentally able to understand the depth of my words, then I shall find a better place to fulfill my tasks...!"

"Sooo, Beel, where you wanna go?"

The twins were already out of town, kind of heading towards the edge of a nearby forest.

The taller one seemed to be searching for something.

Then, he held his stomach.

"I'm... Hungr-"

"No, don't even say it" Belphie sighed. "Are you, really? Even inside a game?"

Beel only gave a pout, so Belphie continued after a while.

"Well, if we must secure you won't go on a rampage and destroy the whole game, then the forest might be the best place to find something for you."

And so, Belphie continued heading straight towards the green.

After a while, however, Belphie noticed how his brother wasn't following any more.

Turning around, Beel had stopped completely and was looking off into the distance behind them.

When Belphegor asked him what was wrong, the other male slowly shook his head.

"Where did everyone run off to?" Beel asked. "I can't see any of the other players..."

"Hm... I saw Violet, Lucifer and Mammon go into the forest as well... Asmo and Levi seemed to have stayed near the village... And I don't know where Satan has gone."

Now Beel turned his head.

"And Clover?"

"Uhm... She went somewhere... there, I think. I heard her talk with Levi when we left, but it seemed like she wasn't going to stay with him."

"So she's all alone right now?"

Belphie got a little confused over Beel's worried expression.

"Well, maybe. But she could be a traitor, so why are you so worried about her?"

Beelzebub's gaze drifted away again.

"I just... Don't like that thought." He snapped back at his smaller brother. "And by the way, you could be a traitor as well."

Belphie leaned back in a carefree manner.

"Yeah, but I told you I'm not. You don't believe me? I believe you're innocent, too!"

Beel gave a little sigh.

"But you can read me like a book, even if I tried lying to you..."

They kept standing there in a little silence.

Then, without further ado, Beel grabbed his brother by his arm, turned around, and kept going into a different direction.

"Beel, what are you...?! Weren't you hungry?! What about the forest??"

"... I sense food over there. Don't worry, and let's get going."

Giorno’s Dinner Party: Mudad Adventure pt ?

Summary: Hol Horse enrages little GioGIo, so obviously he is forced to take drastic measures to put Hol in his place.

CW: Giorno acting like his father, attempted murder, DIO the bad dad encourages said murder, no actual murdering tho

Disclaimer: Obviously DIO reads ancient history and philosophy to Giorno as a bedtime story. He thinks graphic Greek tragedies are perfectly age appropriate for a five year old.

That was the last straw, Giorno thought to himself. His chubby cheeks were red with rage and little fists were clenched as he stiffly stomped down the hall. Hol Horse was going to pay for his sins dearly. And Giorno knew exactly how he was going to exact his revenge on the weird cowboy man.

A maniacal little giggle escaped his mouth as he changed directions in the corridor, opting instead to run into the part of the backyard where Enyaba kept what she called a “dangerous garden”. The name sounded so inviting Gionro couldn't resist! He was hoping for something scary like a venus flytrap or another plant that could bite. He giggled again imagining Hol Horse running around while a plant bit his butt.

However, Giorno’s evil little dream was crushed when he pushed open the doors to her greenhouse. There were just neatly manicured rows of what looked like herbs. And the whole place reeked of garlic. No wonder DIO didn't come back here at all.

Giorno scrunched up his nose at the smell and tried to breathe through his mouth. He walked briskly down the aisles looking for anything that could make this garden even the tiniest bit dangerous. He also made a promise to himself to grab the first possibly painful thing he saw because the smell was starting to make him gag.

Basil? No, that tastes good. Cilantro? He was sure he could find something that tasted worse than soap. Mint? No, that also tasted too good… Hemlock? Now, that one sounded familiar. Oh yes it was! Giorno distinctly remembered this one because it was one of the rare bedtime stories DIO had told him. Some guy named Socrates drank it to kill himself or whatever. The details were fuzzy, he remembered DIO called Socrates some names at this point, but it was poisonous! And boy did he want to poison Hol Horse!

~~~~~~

Hol Horse looked between DIO and Gionro skeptically. Yeah it was odd to have dinner with either of them, but the way Giorno kept laughing to himself scared the shit out of him. Honestly it was scarier than how DIO was staring at him. Hol had nervously tried to excuse himself from the table but DIO wouldn’t allow it.

“Now now Hol, don't be in such a rush. I'm sure Giorno has something spectacular planned for dinner. It's not everyday he requests both of us to join him.” DIO just grinned. He seemed a little jealous that his son had invited this mess of a man to dinner with him, but he seemed intent on letting whatever Giorno had planned play out.

The servant brought DIO a glass of his “special wine” while Giorno rushed in with what looked like half cooked pasta with cut up leaves. Hol Horse eyed it nervously; it looked very suspicious. Ok that was an understatement, everything in this mansion was suspicious but this plate of pasta looked like it could kill him. And that glare in Giorno’s eyes looked like he wanted it to.

Hol spared a glance towards DIO to see him trying to cover up a fit of laughter with a cough. Hol started nervously laughing too, at which DIO suddenly stopped.

“Won’t you try a bite Hol? It looks like Giorno worked very hard on it.” DIO purred. He had noticed immediately what sort of “herb” GIorno had used to garnish Hol’s pasta. It was an adorable first attempt at murder and he wanted to make the moment last.

“Ah sir, and kid, Im sorry but I just had a huge lunch and this sorta leafy thing isn't really my uh thing.” Hol was sweating. The pasta was definitely poisoned. It could not have looked more poisoned if a giant cartoon skull and bones formed from the steam rolling off of it. It literally screamed Hol Horse’s Poison, Poison for Hol Horse, Poison made especially for Hol Horse, Stuff that will Poison Hol Horse.

DIO let out a dramatic sigh and extended a hand to console Giorno.

“Im sorry my dear but I dont think it’s time for Hol Horse to eat that just yet. He still has a contract with Daddy, remember.” Giorno’s lip started to quiver. “But, if Hol Horse did something to hurt you we might have to reconsider that contract…”

Hol Horse had to have misheard that right? The world started to spin, when Giorno’s piercing yell tore through him.

“HOL HORSE CALLED MY DRAWING OF A LADYBUG A COCKROACH” The child was seething as it clung to DIO’s waist. Hol was scared shitless but DIO just snickered.

“Hm that was a very insensitive thing to say Hol Horse” Oh god this was it, DIO was finally going to kill him, “But you know Giorno,” DIO picked up Giorno and plopped him onto his lap, “Hol Horse is American and they're not very smart. Even for them Hol is a bit of a dud. He probably wouldn’t even know what a good lady bug looks like if he saw one in real life.”

Every bone in Hol Horse’s body had turned to jello. Yeah he knew working for an evil vampire with a revenge fantasy would be difficult, but he hadnt realized the job would make him a pawn in some terrifying soap opera of murder. Best to just go along with it he thought and tried to apologize to Giorno.

Hol reached down to ruffle Giorno’s hair as a half-assed apology, but Giorno turned to him coldly and stated, “I have rabies and I will bite you.” That was enough demon child for today Hol Horse reckoned as he quickly walked out of the room before DIO could change his mind about letting him survive.

~~~~~~

“Come now Giogio, I'm sorry that didn't go as planned but how about you come hunting with me next week?” DIO tried to console his son the best way he knew how: Father Son Murder Spree.

“It's not the same.” Giorno pouted. Oh how absolutely adorable, DIO was tearing up, he wanted to kill for revenge! How pure!

#mudad adventures #this is a crack fic #based off of a child I nanny #Shes a handful and scares me #but yeah Giorno shows his DIO side here #young Giorno #haruno #giorno #giogio #DIO #DIO the bad dad #Hol Horse #Giorno's Dinner Party #Enyaba #SDC

the best and worst books i read in school!

ever since 5th grade, i’ve been reading novels in school. with the end of high school looming (and today being the last day of classes), i’ve decided to list the ultimate show stoppers and the bird droppers. let’s begin! :D

the best of 5th grade- maniac magee! i don’t remember much about it besides the twinkie things (which actually exist at walmart!) and shipping maniac and the girl character. my 5th grade teacher reading it made it so much better :D we also read ‘chains’, which is about a slave girl names isabel going to freedom. it’s a very powerful book and the sequel, ‘forge’, which is about a freed soldier boy named curzon, is just as amazing! ‘esperanza rising’, the story of a girl named esperanza who moves from mexico to california during the great depression, is pretty great too from what i remember!

the worst of 5th grade- idk what else we read in 5th grade besides those three (technically four) books. it could’ve been an iconic book year! (it was already an iconic school year)

the best of 6th grade- drums, girls and dangerous pies! it’s an interesting story of a high schooler named steve dealing with a crush and his little brother’s cancer, yet there’s actually a happy ending! the end is really iconic since steve says ‘i-’ to his brother jeff and it’s clearly ‘i love you’ but it cuts off! bonus points to ‘the cay’, a story of a boy named phillip who ends up on a raft with a man named timothy and a cat named stew cat. it’s a neat adventure and timothy saying ‘malar!’ is an earworm of a phrase

the worst of 6th grade- HOLY FRICK ‘THE HATCHET’ IS THE MOST BORING BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!! it’s about this kid who gets stranded in the forest and there’s this skunk pal, so you’d think it would be like ‘the cay’ BUT IT’S NOT IT’S SO FREAKING DULL OMG!!!! bonus points to ‘the gadget’ which starts out cool BUT THEN THE MAIN CHARACTER(also called steve!)’S FRIEND ALEXI TURNS OUT TO BE A SPY AND TRIES STABBING HIM LIKE WOAH THESE KIDS ARE ELEVEN YEARS OLD STOP DOING THAT WTF!!!! if you thought the double digit chapter was bad... oh boy! also ‘boy in the striped pajamas’ was good but very depressing! :(

the best of 7th grade- tom sawyer! this is about a boy and his southern adventures. it was a great story, but the movie is one of my fave live action movies ever!! they say the book is better than the movie but the movie is miles better and it’s so cute!!! bonus points to ‘the giver’, which is about a boy named jonas who meets an old man who shows him life in a better world (and there’s a baby). jonas and the giver were very sweet together and i love how jonas and the baby escape their dystopian society at the end!

the worst of 7th grade- call of the wild! it’s about a sled dog named buck who goes on a wild adventure in the arctic. it’s not a bad book, but the movie was so cheesy and it focused on the humans WHY THO???

the best of 8th grade- the outsiders! it’s about a greaser named ponyboy who runs away with his friend johnny after johnnycake kills a soc named bob. pb and the other greasers were such great characters and the story was so interesting! i also liked how the story is set in tulsa, where my grandpa lived. the outsiders fandom is a lot of fun and i’m so glad the story became one of my faves! :D bonus points go to ‘the diary of anne frank’, which we only read the play, so i sought out the whole book and wow anne’s story is so tragic and inspiring! more bonus points to ‘the good earth’, which is about a man in china and has an awesome movie to it (despite having white actors) and ‘twelfth night’, which is a funny shakespeare play about a girl named viola who disguses herself as a man named cesario. it’s full of romance, laughter and a hot feste singing voice (in the 1987 audiobook at least). and olivia is definitely bi ;)

the worst of 8th grade- animal farm! it’s about an orwell dystopian society (hmm...) but in a barn with animals. it’s not bad, but many of the animals were jerks except old major and the 1999 movie we watched was so cringy! (and the beasts of england song was changed which wasn’t cool)

the best of 9th grade- the odyssey! it’s the ancient greek story of odysseus, a soldier who goes on an epic adventure to get home. the book was alright, but the movie was awesome and the movie ‘o brother where art thou’ (which is based on the story) is really great too! harrison burgeron, a dystopian society with a bad boi, was awesome too because i remember seeing the short film of it in 7th grade. ‘to kill a mockingbird’, which is about a girl named scout living in the segregated south, is really great as well! i loved how it was set in the 30s and scout was so much fun! (i’m a bit bummed at how we didn’t get to see the movie tho). ‘romeo and juliet’ is shakespeare’s most iconic work, being a tale of two star crossed lovers in fair verona. i really enjoyed the story(not the d jokes tho) and it inspired me to write a story set in 1596 (when the play was made)! i take back what i said about 5th grade being iconic 9TH GRADE WAS SO ICONIC YAS!!!!!

the worst of 9th grade- the scarlet ibis! it’s about a boy who takes care of his sick brother named doobie and tries to make him ‘normal’. it’s sweet how the iris symbolizes the brother, but how they die at the end is so sad! ‘the sniper’ wasn’t that good but the plot twist of the sniper guy shooting his brother was neat (also the ‘romeo + juliet’ movie wasn’t that good besides mercutio)

the best of 10th grade- a thousand splendid suns! the most recent book i’ve read, it’s about two women named mariam and laila who live in the afghanistan as the taliban take over. their story is so inspiring and i love how laila was able to be happy after all the horrifying things she went through with rasheed. mariam sacrificing herself for laila by killing rasheed was very powerful and i wish the stage version had her in it. bonus points go to ‘lord of the flies’! a group of boys are stranded on an island and there’s much boy chaos involved. it’s a great story and the fandom was too!

the worst of 10th grade- where are you going where have you been! this is about a girl named colleen who meets a guy named arnold friend. he’s very creepy and it’s an uncomfortable story to read (even more than rasheed!). equal bonus points to ‘the red bow’, a confusing story of a dead girl, a dog and red bows that i still don’t understand!

the best of 11th grade- the crucible! it’s about a girl named abigail who gets swept up in the salam witch trials. it’s a fascinating story with real life elements (rip giles) and the movie was pretty good. ‘the great gatsby’ was also a great story about how the roaring 20s wasn’t as fun as it seemed through the story of gatsby, all told through the eyes of nick

the worst of 11th grade- into the wild! this is a study sync thing, but we did a lot of those compared to novels. it’s about chris mccandles, a guy who tried surviving in a van in alaska and died, making a terribly tragic tale. ‘an incident at owl creek’ was ok but the best part was the plot twist of the guy running to his wife and being hung right before he can touch her (we saw the twilight zone ep instead of reading it and the twist was *chef’s kiss*)

the best of 12th grade- 1984!!! it’s the story of a dreamer named winston, who lives in the dystopian world of oceania. he meets a girl named julia and the two have a secret love affair, but they soon find out that no one is safe under the eye of bb. it’s terrifying tale that’s a bit depressing, but there are so many little moments that make me smile and the movie is even better. winston is relatable in some ways, julia is awesome and julston is a pretty great ship! it’s a big improvement over animal farm and it’s definitely my favorite adult story. bonus points go to ‘rime of the ancient mariner’, which is about an old sailor recounting his unfortunate journey at sea. the mariner telling his story to a random wedding guest was funny and it was an adventure like the odyssey! another round of bonus points to ‘beowulf’, an ancient norse tale of a warrior who fights a monster named grendel. the parts of the 2007 movie we saw sucked, but the story was really cool! wiglaf gets a shout out because he’s the best warrior :) another half bonus point to ‘hunger games’, which we saw the movie of. it’s about a girl named katniss who competes in a competition called the hunger games, which makes for a thrilling adventure!

the worst of 12th grade- hamlet! all of what we read this year was really good, but someone had to be last. this shakespearean tale is of hamlet, a prince who seeks revenge >:) it’s an ok story and i like the ghost dad!

now for my all time favorites! (and least faves)

the worst of the worst- the hatchet, the red bow, where are you going where have you been and the gadget

the best of the best!- 1984, the outsiders, a thousand splendid suns, the diary of anne frank, the odyssey, romeo and juliet, to kill a mockingbird, twelfth night, harrison burgeron, rime of the ancient mariner and the good earth (along with the tom sawyer/1984 movies and hunger games)

good or bad, the books i read throughout school were amazing and i can’t wait to see what college brings! :D

#what a trip down memory lane this was!#so many great stories! :D

Heat (Grayson Dolan Fanfic)

A/N: Even tho this is pretty short I have to say it is one of my favourites! Hope you guys enjoy it <3

It’s the middle of the night, and your heart thumps as you stand in the middle of your dark bedroom. The tall, lean, muscular figure holding you tightly makes your heart rate quicken. You know it’s dangerous for him to be here. Your hands are tangled up in his hair, your bodies so close to each other that it seems your molding into one another. His mouth feels hot on yours, taking you over and claiming you as his own. Your chest presses into his, and you can feel your body temperature rising with every second. His arms grip you around the waste, and you can feel the warmth radiating from him. You moan as he digs his fingers into your back, and squirm under his heat. It feels like your entire body is on fire. His hands on your back send an intense sensation up your spine. The palms of his hands heat up as you feel a searing pain on your back. You release your mouth from his and scream, falling backward as you fall onto the floor, but it’s too late. He grins, maniacal laughter erupting from the pits of his stomach. His flesh burned claws burn as fire blazes from them, his sharp talons left with bits of your charred skin. Immense heat fills your room as he hurls the fire ignited from his hands, cackling. Your bedroom erupts in flames, the room turning a dark red as his demon eyes pierce through you. You’re bed vanishes and in its place appears a pit of fire. You scream for him to stop, but his manic grin only grows wider. His eyes ablaze, he hisses something at you.

“Your soul is mine.”

You hear screams coming from somewhere down the halls. Tears stream down your face. Everything is hot. Everything is dying. The sound of the fire and his laughs fill your ears. You close your eyes until you realize that you’re actually super sick of this and are getting bored of it already so-

“Kay Gray I’m bored now.”

“Aw, was the narrating too much?”

“Yea, kinda was.”

“Sorry.”

I’m so sorry idek what this is heh :P Pls don’t kill me I’m sorry for disappointing y’all T^T

April Fools?

Here’s a little mighty nein fic that’s been running through my head for the past few days and I wanted to get it out.

Fjord/Jester and Caleb/Jester cuz I have conflicting fEELINGS about both.

Jester hears Fjord’s genuine laughter as she and Beau pull a fight club in the middle of the Gentleman’s hideout. She hears the difference now, the way he laughs is lighter, softer, more like him than the usual chuckles he offers. He’s always so stilted, always so in control of himself, even when everyone is joking around with each other, and it makes her feel happy for whatever reason. So she didn’t technically have to whisper those nasty words in Infernal to cause wounds to break over Beau’s arms, but the shocked laughter and gasps gave her that thrill from the chaos the Traveler taught her to harness, and Fjord’s deep laughter that seems to light a fire in her stomach that is so addicting, it makes it so hard to stop.

But she does, and she laughs and heals Beau up and smiles at everyone, but lets her eyes linger on Fjord’s a little longer than she has to, long enough that he knows she’s staring at him and she’s not being shy about it at all.

He smiles back, and she knows he knows she knows, and it makes her heart flutter a little.

But only a little. Technically

It’s been a while since she’s actually played piano.

She played it a lot when she was younger, it was a really good way to pass the time her mama had to work. Jester used to like to play with the breeze that came off the sea, seeing if she could make the wind music too, and she came close a couple times, but she stopped playing so much once the Traveller started visiting her. Once she made her friend, magic and pranks and tricks became more fun than playing some stupid piano, but regardless, she sits down at the piano in that bar in Hupperdook, and she cracks her fingers.

Oh no she was nervous.

Her fingers press the first few keys and suddenly she’s flying across the piano, her mind moving a thousand miles an hour, and her fingers following as fast as she can think. She happens to catch Caleb’s gaze and she can see him finishing up some gesture, mumbling slightly to himself. Ohhhh he made her quick! Like he does with Beau.

Jester throws her head back and laughs, her fingers still slamming away at the keys. It feels like Mania, like insanity, and she keeps playing and playing and playing, and everyone in the bar is watching and she might not necessarily be good but she is loud and right now, that’s basically the same thing. She finishes her song, her maniacal laughter finishing on the same note, and she hears her friends cheer for her at least, and a few patrons too.

Behind her, she feels a tap on her shoulder, and she looks over at the annoyed pianist she stole the bench from. The look on his face could stem from her tiefling blood or from the fact that her pupils are probably blown out like crazy. He snootily asks her to step down, and Jester smiles trying to turn on the charm for this guy.

She’s not super successful with it.

Behind them both, Caleb shuffles up, dropping a gold piece into the tip jar for the pianist. “Loved the song.” He mumbles, his accent thick.

The pianists eyes flash with such a rare flavor of anger, Jester feels that same chaotic surge, and she looks over at Caleb’s retreating form, a new sort of respect for him igniting in her chest.

He dances with her later, his feet a few steps off where he should be, but all of Jester’s friends are druuuuuuuuunkkkk, including Caleb. Especially Caleb, based on what he keeps mumbling between them as Jester tries her best to lead him since he’s not very interested in leading her right now.

“You were always a better dancer than me, Astrid.” He whispers this, the name Astrid leaves his lips like a prayer and it almost floors Jester. She knows that he’s so so gone right now and he’s saying stuff he usually wouldn’t and she should probably not let him do that. Usually, she would let him keep going, the Traveller loves a good secret but there’s something...special about the way Caleb says Astrid’s name. Like she’s important. Like she means something to him.

“Come on Caleb, let’s get you to bed.” Jester tells him, shuffling him up towards the stairs that lead up to the rooms they booked that night. Caleb follows along, mumbling about this and that, and nothing really. They stumble through his room, and he snickers, mumbling about the alarm going off in his head. Jester leads him to his bed and he falls backwards on it, heavy as a stone. “Good night Caleb. Thank you for the dance.” She beams at him and he reaches out and grabs her hand, just for a moment, very softly.

“Thank you Astrid.” He mumbles again, his hand gone as quick as it come, and Jester blinks, surprised at the contact. She gets up and leaves him to sleep, closing the door behind her.

She didn’t know Caleb had such a side to him, but now that she’s seen it, it makes perfect sense, really.

She wonders if anyone’s ever looked at her like Caleb looks at Astrid’s Ghost.

She’s never scared, or she tries not to be, but it’s hard.

Jester’s never been kidnapped before. Which, okay fine, maybe most people haven’t been kidnapped either, but she was so scared. She’s been shaking for days, and she’s not sure if it was from the ice that Lorenzo had nearly killed them with in the Caravan, or if it was from the soul crushing fear that wouldn’t go away. She tries to keep her spirits up, but it’s hard.

She’s never been gagged before. It reminds her of drowning, it reminds her of being erased, of being forgotten. It makes her want to panic, it makes her want to die, but she doesn’t.

She notices she’s not the only one who’s scared. Fjord is chained up next to her and he’s trying to be relaxed but he’s just as scared as she is. So Jester mumbles against her gag, until Fjord looks over at her, and she hums. She hums the first thing that comes to her mind, one of those old sailor songs that her mom sings when the ships come to port. Fjord looks surprised that she knows it, but he nods his head along with her, eyes never leaving hers.

He stares at her, like he’s trying to tell her something.

Like he’s telling her I’m here with you.

She doesn’t know how to answer him back.

So she hums songs she knows he’ll love, so he has something else to focus on in the dark.

I’m here with you, too.

Fjord gets to learn who he is.

It’s exciting! Jester is happy to help him find the answers he’s so desperately been looking for. It’s important to him and she knows that, it’s always been something that confuses him, and makes him question himself, and Fjord just wants to know who he is. That’s not too much to ask, but Jester will kind of admit it’s not been super easy on them.

Or her, specifically, actually. Mostly her.

And maybe Nott and Caduceus, they aren’t having much fun either.

But she’s been so...conflicted ever since they got on the ship.

She was confused back before they even met Avantika, her stomach was in knots ever since they left Nicodranas, but Fjord had promised her that they would get her back to her home someday, so she could see her mom again. He promised her this over the iridescent glow of the jellyfish and she had believed him so wholeheartedly. Because she does believe him. Fjord has never broken a promise to her, or lied to her, or anything bad!

He just...there was something different about him now, something that seems to be bothering him too.

It’s like...Avantika doesn’t bring out anything good in Fjord, like she only wants to corrupt him, to make him something he’s not. But she’s nervous that maybe she’s only thinking that because of how she feels about Fjord? What if Avantika isn’t doing anything at all, and this is just who Fjord is? Maybe...maybe she never knew who Fjord was, maybe the real Fjord wasn’t who she thought she was…

But Fjord also gave her the air from his lungs to keep her alive when that temple flooded.

He was willing to die for her.

Right? Is that something friends did? Or did he care about her? Why does this make her feel so fucking stupid?

She doesn’t mean to word vomit all of these thoughts to Caleb, and she can tell he wasn’t expecting it either, judging by the way his glass of ale stops before it even reaches his lips. She gives him an apologetic smile, and begins carving a dick into the wood of the table to avoid the awkward silence she’s accidently created.

“I’m sorry.” He tells her, “I’m not actually good with these things.”

“You’ve had a girlfriend before tho!” She reminds him. “Remember, you told me about her, when we were dancing.”

“I...remember everything.”

“So...so you know when someone likes you, when someone genuinely cares about you! You can tell the difference right?” Jester looks up at him, and Caleb leans forward on the table, lowering his voice.

“I could, once, but now? Not so much. Are you worried about Fjord?”

“Always.” She tells him, fighting to keep the smile on her face. “And no, it’s not about Avantika, or anything-”

“Isn’t it?” Caleb asks her, a worried look on his face as well. “She’s a very crazy woman who cannot be trusted, and she’s pretty much the only thing happening to Fjord right now worth worrying about.”

“I know...I just…”

“You’re right to be worried about Fjord, and it’s okay to worry about...about your friends. I worry about him too. And about you.”

“Me?” She giggles, going back to carving the dick in the table so Caleb can’t look at her face. “Why would you worry about me? I’m totally fine!”

“Ja, ja, I know, except I still worry about you. Because, I care about you, you know? Like how you care about Fjord, you just...you want him to be okay, ja?” Caleb asks her, clearly tripping over what he’s trying to say. Jester pauses for a moment, trying to decipher what he’s trying to say. Caleb clenches his fists, and he looks up at Jester. “I worry about you, because you say you’re fine, just like Fjord says he’s fine. Do you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“Yeah,” She answers him, a little surprised at the way he looks at her. He nods, sitting back in his seat, satisfied with their conversation, but Jester keeps looking at her dick carving, trying to make sure Caleb can’t tell she’s blushing.

When Beau and Nott come back to make a plan, she steals another look at Caleb, wondering if she was crazy, cuz she could’ve sworn the last time she saw him make a face like that was when he was talking to Astrid.

The idea that he was looking at her like that makes the air catch in her lungs again. Like she’s drowning above water, but without the fear.

Fjord comes and sits with him, a few feet away from her and she looks between him, lean, eyes shadowed, and worry lines on his face, but he gives her a genuine smile, then settles into his chair, their friends sitting around him. Then she looks over at Caleb, quiet and contemplative, usually looking out of the corner of his eyes to see what Nott is doing, then Frumpkin, then...her. He makes his rounds and keeps his eye on everyone and listens as they try and plan their escape from this place.

Jester smiles to herself, and makes a note to ask the Traveler what he thinks about all this.

Thanks for reading! Here’s a bonus chunk that didn’t fit in anywhere:

Jester chews on the edge of her pen, looking at the Traveler. “So, what do I do when two boys like me?”

“I don’t understand the questions.”

“I mean, how do I pick?”

The Traveler looks up from his nails. “Why would you pick?”

Do wangxian for otp ask

The entire thing? XD Okay, here we go.

1) Which one picks the other up like a lost puppy under the rain: Physically, LWJ. Morally, WWX.

2) Which one washes the other’s hair: I feel either would, so both. They do have a lot of hair

3) Which one does the other’s nails: I have no idea about period Chinese nail culture to be certain, but I imagine LWJ’s nails need to be long enough to play the guqin and short enough so they don’t break easily. So I have the mental idea of WWX filing them. He doesn’t care about his

4) Which one pulls the other out of bed with the blankets when they are really late: Canonically LWJ

5) Which one picks in the other’s plate without thinking: WWX

6) Which one gets the other to watch Puella Magi Madoka Magica because they don’t want to finish it alone: On one hand, if I had to pick one of them to be watching anime, it’d be WWX. OTOH, LWJ would over-relate to Homura and would be too anxious to watch that finale. Choices, choices

7) Which one actually screams when the truth is revealed: The truth about what lol. But I’m spoiled enough to say that canonically WWX

8) Which one misplaces stuff and the other one is the only person on earth able to find it again: WWX and his shitty memory, a resigned LWJ

9) Which one surprises the other with an adopted puppy or kitten: Make that two rabbits and canonically WWX. Does Sizhui count because then, both

10) Which one falls asleep in front of the TV and the other has to drag them to bed: Neither because the one who tends to carry the other to bed goes to sleep at 9:00, and this bitch isn’t sleepy until 1:00. Only scenario would be Netflix, drink, carry LWJ to bed, wait until he wakes up, and “chill”

11) Which one gets extremely corny and murmurs sweet nothings in the other’s ear when drunk: WWX is the cheesiest in general. Drunk LWJ just goes bananas but still doesn’t say much

12) Which one buys a spinning chair and falls like a dork and the other has to try keeping their laughter inside so they don’t hurt their feelings: It probably wouldn’t happen because LWJ is too dignified to spin and fall from that chair, yet I can see WWX doing the inner laughter so clearly

13) Which one gets hyped and sing like a maniac to a band’s song passing on the radio while cleaning while the other just watches and smiles: WWX

14) Which one screams an offensive comment in a crowd to find the other because they know they will overreact: WWX. A teen LWJ just goes away faster exasperated, but adult LWJ doesn’t react –he just still goes to him

15) Which one thinks they are a professional plumber and try to fix the leaking sink, flooding the bathroom while the other calls a real plumber when they see things are getting bad: WWX is that kind of husband

16) Which one asks weird ass questions right when the other is about to fall asleep and stops them from sleeping for two more hours: Obviously WWX, who’s feeling lonely and bored at 9:00 pm. The Founder of Shitpostism

17) Which one is so excited for Halloween and the other is horrified by the amount of time and energy (and money) wasted on their costume: WWX is excited for Halloween because it’s his day and he’s the Gothest Dork in China, but LWJ isn’t horrified and just gladly funds that costume birthday party

18) Which one uses the other’s shirts and sweaters as blankets to fall asleep when they’re not home: Obviously LWJ

19) Which one kills the bug: Killing is not allowed in the Cloud Recesses. Jokes aside, they just trap it together and free it

20) Which one hides in the other’s closet when Mother Nature goes wild: Unless mother nature sends a dog, neither. I have a joke to make here but it’s a spoiler. Ask me in replies

21) Which one carries the other on their shoulders when they just won’t move: Either but canonically……. LWJ……….. gets extra points…………..

22) Which one randomly piggybacks the other/picks the other up bridal style: ah yes, LWJ’s iconic signature move

23) Which one puts up the nicest dinner for the other’s family because they want to be accepted: Neither because WWX has no family left to impress (baw. it’d be cute in a modern AU with the Jiengs tho?), and no one would let WWX cook for the Lan elders or LXC. Sizhui and Jingyi are already having war flashbacks and help stop him in time

24) Which one gets very sour with the other’s family when they learn their SO survived any kind of mistreatment or comes from a very close family: WWX wasn’t mistreated or abused, so the most similar I can imagine is some mild bitterness over LWJ’s disciplinary scars

Toris, cause Feliks tends oversleep

5) Which one picks in the other’s plate without thinking

Feliks, he likes to snack on others’ foods

T o r i s, he’s a lovely mushy drunk, while Feliks is a confused drunk

F e l i k s, he either asks super random questions like “do you think sponges can feel” or something extremely existential or depressing or like “do you also feel empty inside” kinda shit so Toris is either extremely weirded out, or like,,,,, Feliks are you okay do you need a hug

17) Which one is so excited for Halloween and the other is horrified by the amount of time and energy (and money) wasted on their costume

Feliks is All About Halloween, he is so Into it, and I mean, Toris is kinda into it too cause it’s cute to see Feliks so excited (Feliks ofc gets them matching costumes is that even a question)

18) Which one uses the other’s shirts and sweaters as blankets to fall asleep when they’re not home

Feliks, Toris is much bigger than him that’s a first, and second, he’s a classified clothes stealer, but I mean, can you blame him

Toris kills the bug

unless it’s weird and flies, then they are both Uncomfortable

Toris does, again, size difference, plus Feliks is a Stubborn, so if he won’t move someone needs to move him

T&L part 8: Determination

Part 7

Word count: 2771

Some people feel like they don’t deserve love. They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.

— Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

3rd person POV

Next morning Arya woke up to find an empty house. There was a note from Emily telling her she made breakfast for her and that both her and Sam were gone for the day.

She had an afternoon shift at the hospital today and it was only eight in the morning. With all the free time she had after breakfast her mind drifted to a certain wolf that haunted both her dreams and reality. With a small sigh and shake of her head she decided she'll need a distraction because he was truly the last thing she wanted to think about. Not only did they barely converse but when they did it was a screaming match with a slap on top of it, but also he was taken and she was most definitely NOT the type to go after someone else's man. She probably wouldn't interest him anyways, because if Rachel is his type, she was far from it.

Turning up the music she washed the dishes and scrubbed the stove clean. Singing „Go your own way“ by Fletwood Mac at the top of her lungs while using the mop as a microphone she cleaned the floor and managed to do a dance (if you can even call it that) combining swaying of her hips, pumping a fist in the air and an occasional jump.

On the other hand, Paul was still sleeping in his wolf form just outside her window and the sound of loud music startled him. Waking up ready to jump at the threat he looked around like a maniac only to realize that the sound was in fact music and coming from the inside. He shifted back and grabbed clothes from a tree nearby and walked inside. Paul was met with a scene of his imprint singing and doing the most ridiculous dance he had ever seen. She was relaxed and free with her body and it only made her look more beautiful and sexy then the day before. Her awkwardness and innocence appealed to him on a different level, but he liked knowing she could let loose and have fun. As she pumped her fist in the air and jumped up a little she almost lost her balance and fell. Her clumsiness made him burst out laughing and she turned around and screamed in shock.

„God, you scared me to death!“

As he continued to double over laughing to the point of tears her cheeks darkened to a crimson color with embarrassment.

„So how much of that did you see?“ she questioned with a slight crack in her voice.

He was just now catching his breath and finally got a chance to look at her properly. She wore a long black t-shirt with red leggings and grey bunny slippers on her feet. Her hair was raised into a bun on top of her head with a few stray strands escaping and framing her face that was burning red. Beauty she held seemed even more unbelievable in the morning light shinning through the windows showing every line of her make-up free face.

He found himself nervous realizing this would be their first real exchange of words.

„Long enough to see you have some moves, and oh, let's not forget the singing. Daaamn!“ He smirked with a raised eyebrow.

„Oh God“, she used her hands to cover her face, „can we just forget this ever happened, please?“

„Oh, honey, I don't think anything can erase this picture from my memory“ he replies with a playful tone while gesturing to her appearance.

„Okay then, I'm just gonna go and find a hole I can crawl into and die.“

„Not so fast princess. Where are the parents?“

She looks to him with a confused expression „ The parents?“

„Emily and Sam“ he answered in a 'duh' tone.

„Out for the day. I'm here till half past one, but I suppose you guys are allowed inside whenever, am I right?“

„Yeah, so...what's for breakfast?“ he asked not wanting to leave yet.

„There were waffles but you're about twenty minutes late. Just grab something from the fridge while I finish up in here.“

Paul was most definitely not going to tell his imprint he can't cook to save his life so he nodded and walked in thinking he could maybe make some pasta. All he had to do is boil some water, that seemed easy enough. He put a pot with pasta on the stove and turned to observe her. He was so engrossed in her that he didn't smell the burning pasta behind him, but she did. She came running into the kitchen frantically and grabbed a rag to pull the pot of the stove and threw it under the sink. Turning to him with wide eyes she used the most calm voice she could muster at the moment „How does one burn pasta? Better yet, how does one not notice the burning pasta while standing next to the pot? Please explain that to me Paul.“

„You know my name?“ he said in awe like a love-struck puppy.

„Yes I know your name“ she said with annoyance in her voice, „now please explain this enigma to me!“

„I think I, uh, forgot to put water with the pasta and I was just thinking about...a school project I have due soon...yeah a school project....and I just spaced out.“ He started stumbling over his words, nerves of her rejecting him over this thing hitting him full force.

She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms over her chest with an obvious 'I don't believe a word that just came out of your mouth' face and waited for him to continue enjoying his nervous behavior.

„Okay, I'll just be honest...I can't cook...Like at all...Once I burned water! Ever since then I've been banned from the kitchen.“

She kept her serious face for a few more seconds as a smile started spreading on her face till she couldn't fight any longer and started giggling at his statement, one hand covering her mouth. Her giggles turned into a full blown contagious laughter causing him to laugh with her, both of them sliding to the floor. After a few minutes both of them wiped their tears and finally took a few deep breaths sharing a look that sent chills down their spines.

She was the first one to snap out of it remembering he has a girlfriend „How does bacon and eggs sound?“

„Sound good...really good“, he replies still watching her face intently. He gets up and offers her a hand to pull her up. As their hands touch the heat from his fingers creeps into her consciousness blurring everything around them while the soft touch of her skin caused him to crave more than just her hand to hold.

She turns around and starts working on breakfast for Paul trying to put herself back together while he just leans on the wall behind her thinking how much he was losing the battle with the bond. The worst thing is, it wasn't just the bond anymore, he actually liked her. Sure the bond made him want to be near her, but the small bit she revealed of herself already got him intoxicated. He knew her barely a day and a half and she was already running through his veins.

Everything about her is captivating, just like the aftermath of a storm, he thought.

They were both silent as she gave him his meal and it continued while he ate.

She looked to the clock and saw she still had a few hours to kill before work.

„So, do you really have a school project to finish?“ she asked as he finished his breakfast and leaned back.

„Not really, more like a ton of homework I never get to do since I shifted.“

„Do you want me to help you? I'm pretty good with school.“

„Yeah, why not? Gotta warn you tho', I suck at all things involving school. But also I don't have my things with me right now. Maybe we can work on it later.“

„Sure, maybe others could use my help too.“ He felt a tingle of jealousy for he didn't want to share his time with anyone.

„Why aren't you in school right now? You don't have patrol.“ She stated.

„I was on patrol last night“, he lied.

„Right..“ He could tell she was suspicious. How was she able to read him so easily?

„How about you tell me something about you then? Since all of you know my story, I'd like to get to know you better as well.“

Paul nods. His story began with his family. Sharing the story of how his mother left his father and him for another man and how he had to move back to La Push. Continuing on the part how he shifted and met Sam and Jared conveniently leaving out the part where he was a player and about his relationship with Rachel.

Sometime around noon she was paged to the E.R. and she grabbed her bag not changing her clothes and ran to her car with Paul following her close behind.

As she came to the car she stopped and saw just how damaged 'Seal' really was. With all the excitement yesterday she completely forgot to check the damage Paul caused during his fit. There were large dents on the hood with a few cracks, broken left headlight and side view mirror, her left tire flat. She turned to look at him with anger rolling of her in waves with a dark look that made him want to run and hide. Guess I'm already whipped, he thought, and now I'm going to die, he concluded.

She took a few deep breaths before speaking, „My car is totaled, how am I supposed to get to work? I was paged and being paged means people are dying and I AM VERY MUCH NEEDED!“

He just stood there looking at her blankly for a few moments. „Wait here, I'll be back in a minute“, he said and ran off.

Three minutes passed and she was pacing outside the house. Suddenly a navy blue truck came driving so fast she though it would trample her.

„Get in!“

She looked up only to find Paul grinning at her from the driver's seat. As she climbed in he drove off while she was looking at him with an impressed smile.

„Where? How? You're awesome!“ she exclaimed.

„I know“, he states with a cocky smile.

„Okay, I need to get dressed, which means I'm about to start getting half-naked and if you so much as glance my way I WILL find a silver something to stab you with. Got it?“

„Yes mam'.“ He replies. It felt like a special place in hell was just opened for him as she started to take her shirt off knowing that if he looks he would lose all the progress they made today. He was trying so hard to focus on the road and not on the almost naked imprint sitting right next to him. He ignored all the occasional brush ups of her body against his arm while counting in order to calm himself enough not to grab her face right then and there and kiss her. He wasn't thinking about Rachel or his previously expressed intentions of proving how an imprint bond could be resisted, he was only thinking about how would her lips feel against his.

„It's safe to look now“, her voice broke his train of though.

„We're near, be ready to go.“

„Thank you. I mean I'm still upset over 'Seal' but for now I'm going to let it go.“

„Seal?“ he questioned.

„My car.“

„You named your car? No, wait, scratch that. You named your car 'Seal'?“ he said with amusement in his voice.

„I love animals and when I saw the teal color the only thing that popped up in my mind was a lame rhyme 'Seal', so it worked out in both ways.“ she defended her choice with a giggle.

They were pulling up into the parking lot, the entrance to the E.R. jammed with an ambulance.

„Thank you, I gotta run, bye.“ She said as she waved to Paul jumping out of the car. She could see Carlisle opening the door to the ambulance and called his name to signal she arrived. But just as she was about to near Carlisle she was pulled back abruptly behind a tall shaking figure she identified as Paul.

„Paul, what the hell? I have to get there NOW!“

„You can't Arya“, he said with hate laced in his voice that made her flinch.

He could tell he scared her which cause him to take a few deep breaths,

„You didn't tell us you worked with the leech, why?!“ he asked in a calm voice, but it definitely didn't calm her nerves.

„A leech? What are you talking about?!“ She asked trying to walk around him.

He takes her hand and pulls her back,“wait, you don't know?“ he asks.

„Know what Paul? All I know is that right now there is someone who needs my help and I can't help them if YOU DO NOT MOVE OUT OF MY WAY“, she half shouted trying not to lose her patience while the sense of urgency to get to the E.R. grew.

„Arya he“, Paul gestured towards Carlisle, „HE is a vampire, the cold one, the leech, whatever you wanna name it. He could hurt you.“

Paul spoke fast with hope she'll go with him so he could keep her safe. For a moment there she palled looking back to Carlisle then refocusing her eyes on Paul

„ He won't hurt me. If he wanted to, I'd be dead already. For God's sake he saves people every day Paul. I may not know much about his kind yet, but I know about him. I'm a pretty good judge of character and I believe him to be good. I have to go now.“

She started walking away as Paul called after her.

„Ria, PLEASE!“ he ran after her as she came to a sudden halt with a flinch as he used the new nickname, „I can't protect you here and if you get hurt I'll never forgive myself.“

„Why do you care“ she asked with a sudden sharpness in her voice. He opened his mouth to tell her, but stopped himself for a reason he didn't even know. His stubborn nature reminding him of his fight with the bond making his mouth close shut without a word.

She nods with hurt in her eyes almost as if she wanted him to fight for her and now felt rejected by him.

„That's what I thought, now if you'll excuse me I have work to do.“

Watching her walk away felt like a brutal storm started in his mind with thunder burning pieces of his heart. I took our bond for granted, and in my naivety I'd thought it unbreakable. Am I losing her before I ever even had her? thoughts swirled in his head as she disappeared from view.

With each stride her mind became more clear, more resolute, as if the growing physical distance between them had now become an emotional chasm. Ignoring the pain that settled in her heart, she made a decision. Whatever this was, between her and Paul wasn't going to happen. She wanted him more then anything after only knowing him for a day and a half and maybe that was the problem. She always thought of herself as a one great love in a lifetime kind of person, like a lobster. She was afraid if she fell in love with someone she'd give her whole heart to that person and if it breaks, she'd never love again. So Arya always protected herself when it comes to love. By not letting herself get hurt now, it would prevent an even bigger pain in the future.

He obviously didn't care for you, he was just acting that way due to his loyalty to your brother silly girl, like he'd ever go for you, she thought. She numbed the pain hitting her in waves as she always did and promised herself that she wouldn't let him be the source of her pain ever again.

hello yes i just finished lord of the flies (and then watched the 1963 movie immediately afterwards) & i rlly luv piggy so im gonna yell abt Just Piggy Things™ even if no one cares

piggy’s the first character we’re introduced to, after ralph ofc, so that means we’re supposed to get attached, and boy did i get attached..

ass-mar

the fact that he’s been called mean nicknames so long that his real name doesnt matter to him?? he doesnt care what hes called?? poor thing wtf??? hes like eleven hes too little for this

the Flashing Anime Glasses. especially the one w the fire when he starts laughing maniacally. same.

im talking about: “then he laughed so strangely that they were hushed, looking at the flash of his spectacles in astonishment.”

also: “’i got the conch,’ said piggy, in a hurt voice. ‘i got a right to speak.’” let him speak hes the only damn reasonable one. also stop hurting him hes been hurt enough goddamnit

k but how much he loves ralph? and ralph is annoyed by him??? but then later he confides in him & cries over him & their friendship is my fav in the book so. they bond it just takes a while. but piggy was always good to ralph awe

“i was with him when he found the conch. i was with him before anyone else was.” he finally made a friend dont u take him from him ;-;

k speaking of the conch, in the first movie, his laugh when ralph’s blowing the horn for the first time??? aw??? a rare moment of joy in that sad ass movie??

‘63!film piggy is the sweetest & cutest i lob him. ‘90!film piggy was annoying as shit tho i refuse to talk about him.

in the ‘63!film when he puts his hands on his hips when jack says “shut up fatty” and then hides behind the tree when they all laugh at him.

god in the book it’s easy to forget theyre actual babies but with the movie u cant possibly forget and theyre so cute but defenseless it’s so sad

i kno these actors r like 70 or dead now but i wanna go back in time & give them a hug. especially piggy cuz hes a pouty chubby bub gOD IM SO SAD

one last note on the film before i get back to the book: the movie rlly encompassed how awkward i imagined piggy to be & i luv that. also his story time abt camberly was adorable + educational (for me, anyway)

how hurt he is when ralph tells the other boys his name, poor thing ugh :(

“’let him have the conch!’ shouted piggy. ‘let him have it!’” yes stand up for poor lil mulberry child

“piggy knelt by him, one hand on the great shell, listening and interpreting to the assembly.” hes so fuckin sweet??? hes like the mom of the island hes so nice to the littluns i luv him

and when he gets upset over the mulberry boy probably bein killed in the fire :’( hes the most sensible and the most empathetic of all the other boys. what a cinnamon roll. unproblematic fav. true neutral. 10/10. the best boy.

my second favorite line in the whole book: “then, with the martyred expression of a parent who has to keep up with the senseless ebullience of the children, he picked up the conch, turned toward the forest, and began to pick his way over the tumbled scar.” tired mama piggy lmao

he wants to make a sundial?? hes so smart aw

piggy thinking ralph’s patronizing smile was a friendly one :( :( he just wants a friendddd hes so naive & sweet im sadddd

i think it’s implied most of the other boys (particularly the choir boys & ralph) are from a nicer, more upper class part of england, &, despite his intelligence, piggy’s more lower class, judging by his cockney-esque accent (his use of ‘them’ instead of ‘those’, etc.) and also “piggy was an outsider, not only by accent, which did not matter…” idk why this is cute i dunno

“piggy arrived, out of breath and whimpering like a littlun.” me in pe. but also poor thing ;-;

“piggy sniveled and simon shushed him as though he had spoken too loudly in church.” i interpreted shushed as, like, consoled, more than, like, ‘quit crying, ya baby’, which was more what he was doing, but still…first of many cute piggy & simon interactions. i’d ship them but theyre like twelve so nah. but they cute as buddies

“this was too bitter for piggy, who forgot his timidity in the agony of his loss. he began to cry out, shrilly: ‘you and your blood, jack merridew! you and your hunting! we might have gone home-’” this hurts because if jack hadn’t gone hunting, they may have been rescued before simon or piggy died :( :( :( horrible vague foreshadowing

simon getting piggy’s glasses for him when jack throws em ;-;

simon giving his piece of meat (not a euphemism, goddamnit) to piggy.. god simons so sweet hes my second fav

“only, decided ralph as he faced the chief’s seat, i can’t think. not like piggy…he could go step by step inside that fat head of his, only piggy was no chief. but piggy, for all his ludicrous body, had brains.” why does ralph resent piggy sm. it’s like it psychically hurts him to compliment him, even just in his own head. jeez. just cuz someones fat doesnt mean they cant be smart?? the 50s were weird

“piggy came and stood outside the triangle. this indicated that he wished to listen, but would not speak; and piggy intended it as a gesture of disapproval.” aka ‘i’m mad at everyone so im gonna stand two feet away & glare at you all’ aw haha

when he tiptoes onto the triangle cuz hes done w his protesting ahaha aw

“piggy held out his hands for the conch but ralph shook his head.” idk i thought the mental image was cute. “gimme pls” “nuh uh”

what he says about the beast & life being scientific…me & piggy would be buds if he was real lmao

“ralph nodded to piggy. ‘go on. ask him.’ piggy knelt, holding the conch. ‘now then. what’s your name?’ the small boy twisted away into his tent. piggy turned helplessly to ralph..” honestly piggy & ralph are the mom & dad of the colony (jack being the asshole uncle) it’s so cute

“’that’s a clever beast,’ said piggy, jeering, ‘if it can hide on this island.’” sarcastic piggy is sarcastic

more sarcastic piggy earlier in the book: “you got your small fire all right” i lob him

indignant & shrill piggy… and his quote: “’what are we? humans? or animals? or savages?’” honestly lowkey want that tattooed

i fuckin hate jalph but admittedly jack’s jealous lil “’that’s right–favor piggy as you always do.’” is salty & gay lmao

the whole three blind mice convo…i luv

particular highlight in that scene: “’i’m scared of him,’ said piggy, ‘and that’s why i know him. if you’re scared of someone you hate him but you can’t stop thinking about him. you kid yourself he’s all right really, an’ then when you see him again; it’s like asthma an’ you can’t breathe. i tell you what. he hates you too, ralph—’” POOR BABYYY

also “’i know about people. i know about me. and him. he can’t hurt you: but if you stand out of the way he’d hurt the next thing. and that’s me.” IN THE END ROGER’S THE ONE WHO HURTS HIM UGH :(

“’keep piggy out of danger.’” YOU ASSHOLES LET HIM DIE

piggy holding his breath until his asthma acts up & then the boys just leave him??? what dicks

“jack cleared his throat and spoke in a queer, tight voice. ‘we mustn’t let anything happen to piggy, must we?’” AND THEN YOU LET HIM D I E U SALTY BITCH QUIT IT

“piggy put on his one glass and looked at ralph. ‘now you done it. you been rude about his hunters.’ ‘oh shut up!’” why dont more ppl ship them?? compared to jalph theres nothing??? theyre like a married couple it’s precious. like i said - mom & dad of the island.

piggy getting braver & being more of a leader once jack leaves!!! im proud of him!!

“he [simon] sought for help and sympathy and chose piggy” k the two most humane & sympathetic kids on the island, and the two doomed ones, gravitate towards each other & look out for each other & it so sadd

piggy being “so full of pride in his contribution to the good of society” he didnt deserve his fate he was so good im so sad

samneric & piggy making a little mini feast for them?? thats so cute???

also “piggy broke into noisy laughter and took more fruit. ‘he might be.’ he gulped his mouthful. ‘he’s cracked’.” piggy u get teased for bein different why would u tease simon (behind his back too) for bein diffrent u hypocrite. noisy laughter tho aw

piggy & ralph laying by the fire & talking…ralph didnt deserve piggy honestly he wasnt even grateful until the very end for such a good friend in such a horrible situation??? ugh

“when he understood how far ralph had gone toward accepting him he flushed pinkly with pride” see? good friendship. piggy just wanted a friend & to be considered valuable. and ralph finally started appreciating him

“piggy took off his glasses, stepped primly into the water, and then put them on again.” prim: stiffly formal and respectable; feeling or showing disapproval of anything regarded as improper. idk why this is funny to me

when he gets annoyed and starts slapping the water & yelling. temper tatrum lmao. dont blame him

“piggy stirred the sand under water and did not look at ralph. ‘p’raps we ought to go too.’ ralph looked at him quickly and piggy blushed. ‘i mean–to make sure nothing happens.’ ralph squirted water again.” they’re so fuckINGN CUTE

“piggy touched ralph’s wrist. ‘come away. there’s going to be trouble. and we’ve had our meat.’“ SO MUCH OF THIS STORY WOULDVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE OTHER BOYS ACTUALLY LISTENED TO PIGGY

“ralph sat down in the grass facing the chief’s seat and the conch. piggy knelt at his left, and for a long minute there was silence.” i luv their dynamic sm. ruler & adviser. no questions asked. ultimate loyalty. so good.

piggy trying to be all rational about simon while ralph freaks out…what a scene. also i luv how awkward their convo w samneric immediately after is

piggy wants to be rescued most and hes the one whos killed!!!! bullshit!!!! justice for piggy!!!

when ralph says piggy should write a letter to his auntie & he takes it serious & ralph laughs & piggy doesnt get it. awe.

the scene where they take his glasses ;-; u made my boi piggy hav an ass-mar attack u monsters,

PIGGY GETTIN ALL BADASS & DETERMINED & TALKING ABOUT WHAT HES GONNA TELL JACK

“he held out the conch to piggy who flushed, this time with pride” and then “piggy sought in his mind for words to convey his passionate willingness to carry the conch against all odds.” the conch is the only constant on the island, the only dependable thing he has besides ralph, so hes so invested in it, hes pretty much deemed himself the caretaker of the conch, and it dies with him…

the scene where piggy reassures ralph & it says “the twins were examining ralph curiously, as though they were seeing him for the first time” is probably my fav scene in the entire book…it just really shows, in a couple of lines, the characters that ralph & piggy are, and what their relationship is like, and why they’re a partnership throughout the whole book. fantastic.

“’am i safe?’ quavered piggy. ‘i feel awful–’” fuckin foreshadowing, i hate it. imagine being practically blind on a cliff and then, minutes later, falling to your death. god it’s terrible.

piggy crying for ralph not to leave him actually hurts like psychically in my chest. him and simon were babies??? i know it’s fiction but kids are the sweetest things, not even fictional kids deserve to be killed so mercilessly??? im so fuckin sad

his last words…powerful and iconic.

i dont wanna talk about his death. im very sad

k ik it’s terrible but when he died his skull cracked open & his brain more or less fell out (”and stuff came out”, “with his empty head”), and thats p macabre but it’s also symbolic and genius bc when roger killed him he also took away the only thing he had going for him, the only thing that gave him superiority over the others - his intelligence. his brain.

of course, have to end on: “ralph wept for the end of innocence, the darkness of man’s heart, and the fall through the air of the true, wise friend called piggy.” cue me shutting the book, hugging it to my chest, and sobbing

#lotf #books #sorry i just. im rlly emotional & i rlly luv piggy #txt

THE GREAT CRUNCHYROLL NARUTO REWATCH Has a Large Hairy Son in Episodes 183-189

Welcome to THE GREAT CRUNCHYROLL NARUTO REWATCH! I’m Joseph Luster, back in record time, and I’ll be your host this week as we barrel on through all 220 episodes of the original Naruto anime adaptation. In last week's episodes 176-182, we spent most of our time in the Hidden Star Village, but that arc comes to a swift end this week. Even more filler lies beyond, though, including the start of the Peddlers Escort Mission arc in episodes 183-189.

As you may be able to tell by the tone of some of these questions, I'm feeling a little deflated at this point. The filler can be overwhelming at times, but at least we have the occasional one-off to brighten our week. In this case, the highlight for me was most definitely the gag episode in which Naruto has to avoid laughing during a funeral despite every possible attempt to get him to crack. It might be the series' most successful attempt at straight-up comedy to date.

The rest of the batch was mostly disappointing, but there were a few ups to go along with the downs. As Crunchyroll user OrichalcosTwin1 said in last week's comments, "I enjoyed the Hidden Star Village filler, though as you're about to find out this week, I feel it could've concluded sooner and stuck around longer than it should've." I couldn't agree more. Let's find out what everyone else thought!

Do you love Sumaru's Mom's Ghost and her two-hit multi-target attacks? Did the finale of the Star Guard arc surprise you in any way, or was its ending written in the stars from the beginning?

Paul: It was good that the main resolution to the Star Village story involved the children and the other villagers rebelling against Akahoshi after he went Full Crazy-Eyes and freely confessed his evil plans to everyone within earshot, but for the ultimate confrontation, it should have been Sumaru receiving his mother's spiritual energy to deliver the final blow. This arc was Sumaru's story, and tacking Naruto onto the end like that feels like a missed opportunity.

David: Agreed. Ending a village’s internal political strife by punching the bad guy is one thing, but letting Naruto do it instead of the character most closely affected by the whole thing is pretty lame.

Jared: I basically laughed when Sumaru’s mom gave her power to Naruto instead of Sumaru. Way to bury the kid both figuratively and literally. Other than that, the arc ended basically how I expected with Akahoshi getting his comeuppance and being real dumb.

Kevin: The ending was predictable, aside from the stuff that made no sense. Of course the star was going to be destroyed, that way no one can try to bring it up as a power source later. Also, apparently ghosts exist in Naruto. I guess Orochimaru could’ve had a shortcut in creating the Reanimation Jutsu.

Danni: The whole thing just fell way off the rails, honestly. I’m so tired of evil villains in this show maniacally cackling about how evil they are while trying to kill a bunch of children.

Kara: I realized right as we were closing out that the Village Hidden in the Stars was literally just Naruto’s excuse to have fairies, after which point I kind of gave up on it making sense at all.

Noelle: It’s a very typical villain cliché, but I can’t say it doesn’t work. Some of that fantasy stuff sure did happen though.

Carolyn: It was definitely… weird. I have to agree with the above, that giving Naruto the power was a very odd choice. It also just feels like really weird and awkward writing. I know we’re in the land of filler, but this series is backflipping over the shark at this point.

It took putting Akamaru in great peril to make me realize nothing can ever happen to Kiba's sweet pee-spraying baby. Which Naruto characters would you defend with your life at this point?

Paul: The easy answer is Rock Lee, who is much more of a good boy than Akamaru. It's weird that Akamaru can have a full-on “An American Werewolf in Leaf Village” episode in which he severely injures numerous shinobi, including his own master, and yet he's allowed to continue his ninja-dog training like nothing happened. I figured they'd pull a trick where Akamaru wasn't infected and there was some other werewolf running around, but nope. Straight up Cujo.

David: Over the course of all this filler I’ve gotten even more attached to Neji and Tenten. Maybe I should go back and rewatch some episodes of that Rock Lee spinoff…

Jared: ROCK LEE.

Kevin: Anime, if you ever try to hurt my ninja son Rock Lee ever again, the Five Great Nations are going to become the Five Great Craters.

Danni: ROCK LEE DEFENSE FORCE, ASSEMBLE! [sfx: Kamen Rider transformation noises]

Kara: Rock Lee, as the rest of the room says. And Hinata. Dear God, I can’t wait ‘til 50% of her lines aren’t “Naruto-kun…” She deserves better than she gets in pretty much any part of her life.

Noelle: As with everyone else, Rock Lee protection squad unite.

Carolyn: Hahaha, did we ever expect anything less than a giant chorus of people loudly cheering on good boy Rock Lee?

The Hidden Leaf Legend episode about Onbu made me think about all the aspects of the Naruto world of which we're not aware yet. From legends to history and beyond, what are you most curious about, and what would you like to see expanded upon in future episodes?

Paul: There should be an episode where Naruto and the other young ninja of Leaf Village get sent on a snipe hunt mission by Tsunade in search of the legendary tsuchinoko, only for Kakashi, Might Guy, and the other Jonin to prank the heck out of them. Then they actually find a real tsuchinoko during the third act, and it grows angry over them invading its territory, and hijinks ensue.

David: I was and am still interested in essentially anything that doesn’t have to do with ninjas. How does the rest of the world operate on a day-to-day basis, and how much, if at all, are they even aware of these ninja villages that seem to constantly be at war with each other?

Jared: I’m kind of surprised there hasn’t been more backstory on the early Hokage, unless that’s being saved for later in Shippuden. Outside of that, I think it’d be good just to dive into character backstories or just go full slice-of-life at some points.

Kevin: Honestly, I’m most curious about jutsu creation. We’ll get at least some insight into that later in Shippuden, but even then I’d still like to know a lot more.

Danni: I just wanna know why everyone in the Hidden Leaf Village loves the SEGA Dreamcast so dang much.

Kara: Considering weird ninja magic is essentially part of day-to-day life, I want to know what their escapist entertainment is like. What the heck do you read action comics about when you’re already halfway to a superhero? I’m guessing they have, like, Archiemaru or something where the escapism comes in the form of severe normality.

Noelle: Even knowing some of the stuff that comes later, there’s a lot of things that aren’t really that expanded upon. The discrepancy between technology and how that clashes or interacts with ninjutsu is one, and how ninja society seems to be something both out in the open but not something that everyone can do is another. We might get to why ninjutsu happens later, but what of the people who aren’t ninja, in a world so heavily slated toward magical powers and how those with magic seem to rule society?

Carolyn: We see villages with normal, non-ninja people fairly regularly, but we have no idea how they live. How do the government and ninja work together? Do they work together or do the ninja sort of work on their own laws/volition? Maybe that’s been answered, but I certainly don’t remember it.

As episode 186 reminds us, there's nothing more powerful than a forbidden laugh. Can you recall any particularly gut-busting "church laugh" moments in your life where you really lost it when you shouldn't have?

Paul: One time my sister got busted for accidentally cracking up during Christmas dinner because the decorative plates we were about to eat off of had a drawing of a little hobo Frosty the Snowman, complete with patches on his snow-suit. I guess the contrast of cloth patches on a suit made out of snow was too much for her, and she burst out laughing during what was supposed to be a solemn moment. She got grounded, and the Legend of the Hobo Snowman went down in Chapman family history.

David: I don’t remember the details but I do recall actually being sent to the principal in elementary school for being unable to control my laughter one day.

Jared: I can’t remember the specifics, but I’m pretty sure mine was an actual church laugh moment. Something must’ve made me have the giggles or I was just in a mood but I did that when I was going to church at the time and got in a bit of trouble for it.

Kevin: I was watching Dororo, and one episode in particular had a guest animator who apparently is known for his… unique art style. Hyakkimaru “running” (ice skating) uphill between trees forced me to pause the video so that I could stop hysterically laughing.

Danni: I have a rather subdued laugh usually, so I can’t think of any moments where laughing got me in trouble. However, a childhood spent watching a lot of America’s Funniest Home Videos has led to an adulthood full of instinctively laughing when people hurt themselves pratfalling.

Kara: I was on a bus in Cardiff a few years ago and there was a guy who refused to sit down or hang on or anything. The driver braked and the dude went sliding comically. A few people snickered but I busted out laughing way too big and He Did Not Appreciate That. I got off at the next stop to avoid having my head punched down my own neck. (As an aside, I’ve gotta express my appreciation for Naruto basing an entire episode around the concept of the Giggle Loop from Coupling.)

Noelle: Admittedly, I’m not the kind of person that bursts out laughing, even if emotions show on my face. My friends saying particularly wild things in public will always get me laughing, though.

Carolyn: Actual laugh or defensive laugh? I worked as a ride operator at an amusement park as a teen and some kids tried to run on the ride AS IT WAS MOVING. I had to use the emergency shutdown and started laughing like a maniac. The kids' parents were very angry at me for that, but some co-workers and other customers assured them it was a nervous laugh, which it was. They could have gotten very, very hurt and I didn’t know how to react to that.

As for an actual “wow that was funny” laugh … well, this story is a bit mean but it got to me hard. Outside my apartment one day, I saw a kid that was about 11-13 riding a bike and just toppled over and started laughing immediately. It was the way the bike fell. Usually, you imagine some wobbling, the handlebars going back and forth as they lose control or something. This was literally straight up to straight down in one immediate motion. It caught me by surprise. Also, the kid was fine.

That Brings Us to the Land of Gree— you know what? Forget these veggie peddlers, we're way beyond the point of no return in Filler Purgatory. I hardly remember what it was like when Naruto was good, and the writing is at an all time low for most of this batch. Could you ever recommend this show past episode 140 or so, and has this changed the way you feel about it as a whole?

Paul: I'm a completionist, so if I'm going to recommend something, I'm going to recommend all of it. You don't get to skip the boring or mediocre bits if you want to claim you've experienced a work of entertainment. The filler hasn't broken my spirit yet, and there are individual parts of it that I find compelling, although I admit nothing we've seen here compares to Naruto at its apex moments.

David: I’d just recommend skipping all of it, but if you’re gonna watch any of it, the second best thing is probably to skip the arcs and watch some of the one-off episodes instead. The best part about the filler has been the focus on some side characters who didn’t get much time before, and the mostly silly single-episode adventures get you that without having to sit through nonsense stories that just make you wish you were watching the actual story instead.

Jared: I might not necessarily recommend watching all of the filler, but maybe some of the better parts if they wanted to check that stuff out. People will watch what they watch and I’m not their dad, but I don’t think it’s necessarily all terrible like some people will lead you to believe. It certainly hasn’t changed my overall opinion of the show, it just makes me want to get back to the actual story. Although, if you want a test of endurance, then yeah, people should watch all the filler.

Kevin: The only way I can realistically recommend Naruto after Filler Purgatory started was if I was trying to talk about all of the interesting character interactions that come from unique team combinations. Unfortunately, even the filler arcs have turned into the same few teams on a loop, and the plots aren’t nearly interesting enough to carry 100 episodes. So in all honesty, unless you just want to full Naruto experience of waiting forever to get to Shippuden or REALLY want to know everything that happens, even if it’s filler, no, I can’t recommend watching past episode 140.

Danni: I refused to listen to anyone telling me to skip certain arcs of Dragon Ball since they were filler. I said that if I’m gonna watch it, I’m gonna watch all of it. That being said, I really wish I could just skip ahead to Shippuden right now.

Kara: This week of episodes has just been a hot mess. Not gonna lie. I’d been coasting because at least I could joke about them. But between this weird double-bluff veggie ninja story and the episode about Naruto adopting the kind of mascot character they’d add to a cartoon adaptation of a live-action 80s sitcom, I’m feeling anywhere from weak to done.

Noelle: I skipped over most of the filler in my original run of Naruto, and I’d say-- yeah, I’d still rather do that. Nothing here worth noting.

Carolyn: I don’t think I would recommend Naruto, as a whole or just cutting off the filler parts. There have been shows I couldn’t get into and people will say to wait for season 3 or 4. I just don’t understand highly recommending something that has so much not-good in it.

Finally, let's wrap up with the HIGHS and LOWS for this week.

Paul: My high point was everyone trying to make Naruto laugh, especially with how the humor-assassins would take one look at him and decide that anyone with such a foolish face would be an easy mark. I appreciate the low-grade shade that reminds us that Naruto is kind of a maroon. My low-point was the end of the Onbu episode, which concludes like a mash-up of the Tribbles episode of Star Trek and Gremlins. That joke didn't so much land as belly-flop.

David: High point was the preview for next week’s first episode - I’m excited to see Hinata getting to handle a fight on her own; hope that’s as neat as it looks. Low point was the ending of the star village arc for the same reasons I said in the first question.

Jared: High point for this week would probably be the end of the funeral episode with the ridiculous reveal, fake out, and then reveal of the dad being alive. It was probably one step away from going full “IT’S ME AUSTIN” in terms of that. Also, Shino just getting up in Naruto's face like NEVER TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS PLEASE. Low point would probably be basically everything else. Land of Greens is just not great and the other episodes were pretty much just there. Glad we finally get to meet Boruto though, even if I thought he came later on in the series.

Kevin:

High - The plan to take down the first of the enemy ninja in the Land of Greens. Sure, it’s a pretty short moment and not too difficult to figure out (he’s using his weapons as dowsing rods, so break the weapons and lure him to a place without water), but this is Filler Purgatory, and characters not being completely dumb is enough to be one of the better moments of the week.

Low - The Onbu episode. I like getting some worldbuilding, but like I said in my High, I also like characters not being excessively dumb, and practically every decision in the Onbu episode was some level of dumb.

Danni: High point was the entire funeral episode. It was such a solid comedic concept and the payoffs all landed perfectly. It’s exactly the kind of stupid I want out of all this filler. Honorable mention to the Onba episode, which was maybe a tier below but still some good dumb fun. Low point would have to be watching another arc end with a villain maniacally cackling while trying to murder a bunch of children with a crossbow. Low LOW point was when that one kid’s dead mom became a ninja ghost who just kind of held Naruto in the air like a limp cat.

Kara: High point was honestly Magnet Ninja. Like seriously that’s one of the most resourceful Jutsu sets I’ve seen: just grab those headband nerds by the headband. Secondary high point was the puns in the funeral episode that didn’t get translated in the subtitles (as a former subtitle editor, though, I don’t blame them for not trying). Low point was the wrap-up of the Village Hidden in the Seelie Court.

Noelle: High point, the funeral episode and how everything in it works pretty well. I wouldn’t say it’s all my kind of humor, but it’s functionally fairly solid. No complaints there. Low point… we’re just not going to address how fantasy elements in the afterlife are a thing now? No? Okay, I guess.

Carolyn: The uniforms and Naruto’s not-amused reaction to them were pretty great for me. The low point? I guess the weird ghost stuff. The last Scooby-Doo ghost episode was silly, but it also knew it was silly. They sort of took this seriously and that’s quite bizarre.
