Honey and Lavender

Lucanis Dellamorte x Grey Warden!Rook

Read on AO3

Summary: Rook has never been in a relationship before. Lucanis is bad at communicating his feelings. One simple act of making dessert has strange consequences.

A/N: This was inspired by a post I saw and that scene that didn't make it into the game.

word count: 2,814

The job was not yet done.

Caterina was still being held captive and Ilario still lived. There was still much to be done, but a small weight had just recently been pulled off his back.

Him and Dawn. Together.

Lucanis had contemplated how he would do it - how he’d show her how much he cared. He had never had a relationship before, his previous attempts failing spectacularly. He spent a few nights thinking about his options. Knives were out of the question, and he didn’t think he could pull off those grande declarations of love that often happened in the romance novels he read.

No, Lucanis had to play to his strengths, and if there was one thing he knew how to do well - besides killing - was cooking.

So he got to work, making cioccolata calda just for her. He smiled, fondly remembering that night at Café Pietra. His cousin had just left and he decided to inquire about her sweet tooth.

“I only discovered it once I left the Circle.” She had explained in between drinking. “We weren’t really allowed this sort of food in the Gallows, but once I was out, I got to indulge in all sorts of sweets Thedas had to offer.” She shook her head and chuckled. “It only got worse after I became a Warden. I swear, the taint makes your stomach grow in size with how hungry I felt.”

Lucanis also remembered another part of their conversation, one that had left him surprised.

“Like a kiss goodbye, huh? And how would a first kiss be?” She asked.

“Honey and lavender cream. Sweet, intriguing…and you? How would you describe it?”

He noticed how Dawn’s cheeks had turned red in embarrassment, as she looked down. “I, uhm, wouldn’t be able to tell.” She sighed. “I can’t describe something I’ve never had.”

“Oh. I see.”

“There’s just never been…well.” She said, hesitating.

Lucanis did his best to hide his shock. He’d thought a woman like her would have had more experience in this department than him. But it seemed the two had that in common.

“In matters of the heart, one must be discerning.”

Dawn looked at him, and he swore he saw a small glint in her eyes. “When it’s right, you know.”

And now, he did know.

Lucanis confused Dawn in a way no man had before.

First, he’d completely ignore her feeble attempts at flirting, only for then to almost kiss her before walking away, never addressing what happened.

He pulled away and now she had known why, after visiting his mental prison in the Fade, the one he had made for himself. She thought that after all that, he would put even more space in between them as he sorted himself out, but instead, Lucanis had made dessert just for her.

What did it all mean?

The dinner alone and food all for herself had been good. They had talked, only a little, but it had warmed her heart. She knew he had feelings for him, and the gesture only solidified that but she was still confused.

Dawn asked Davrin, her closest friend, what he thought of it. He put it in the simplest terms.

“It means he likes you.”

That had been followed by a long rant about the dangers of ‘involving yourself with an Antivan Crow’ but it only brought a frown to her face.

If he liked her, why didn’t he say so?

Of course, the dessert had been great, but Dawn never had been in a relationship. Could she even call it that? Sure, she liked him and he liked her, but was that enough to say they were together?

They hadn’t actually talked about that, and she felt too embarrassed to bring it up, so things continued as they used to.

Bad attempts at flirting and stolen glances. But there had been new development. There were times where she’d turn around and find him looking at her, a stupid grin on his face.

Where before he’d turn away, once he was caught, now he’d smile. Actually smile at her.

Maker, what was happening.

It all came to a head because of Davrin.

It was late in the afternoon, and the warden elf had decided to do some sparring with Lucanis. His reasoning had been “If you plan on killing a god, you have better be ready for it.”

The crow smirked. “So you want me to pretend you’re Ghilna’ain and attempt to kill you?”

“Don’t even think about it, Lucanis.” Davrin said, getting into a fighting stance.

They began to throw a few punches, none that really hit as both men kept dodging. They went on like that for a couple minutes, until things began to get heated.

“Be careful, you two.” Rook said, as she approached the two men.

“Rook!” Lucanis said through gritted teeth, as he tried to pry Davrin off of him. “What…are…you doing here?”

“Davrin asked me to watch and make sure you wouldn’t try something when his guard was down.”

“If anyone’s trying anything, it’s him.” Finally, he managed to shove the Warden away. “I say we’re done for today.”

“What? Scared to embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend?” Davrin had taunted, a smirk on his face. He had meant it to be playful, unaware of what would happen next.

Rook made a sound that was a mixture of a nervous cough and a laugh. “Girlfriend?”

“Why, yes? Aren’t you two a thing now, after all that dessert.”

“Yes.”

“No.” Lucanis and Rook had said, at the same time. She looked at him confused. “No, we aren’t…right, Lucanis?”

“I…I thought we were.”

She crossed her arms, and Davrin took a step back. “But then why didn’t you say anything.”

Lucanis frowned, matching her confusion. “But I did. The dessert…”

“I thought that was just your way of saying thank you. I didn’t think you were asking me to be with you.” She said, a little sharper than she intended.

Lucanis looked at her with saddened eyes. “Rook…”

“I-” She began to say but stopped herself. She rubbed her forehead and sighed heavily, before turning around and saying. “Sorry, I-I have to go.”

They watched as she ran inside the Lighthouse. Lucanis would have followed but Davrin grabbed his bicep. “Give her a minute, before you screw things up more.”

“But I-”

“Look, I don’t know what you two have going on, and Rook’s never been in a relationship before, so if I discover you did something to hurt her feelings-”

“You don’t have to finish.” Lucanis said, freeing his arm. There’s nothing Davrin could threaten to do to him that would come close to what he’d to himself.

He sighed as he ran inside, going to Rook’s room. He needed to clear things up. If she didn’t think they were together, did that mean he had made a fool of himself, thinking she’d ever reciprocate his feelings? Maybe he had been right in not opening his heart, in pulling away and-

No. He shook his head. He mustn't think of that. Not after everything in the Fade. What he needed was to find Rook.

But when he entered her room, she wasn’t there.

“Dawn?” He called, but no one answered. He quickly ran to the infirmary, and also found the place empty, besides Varric’s stuff that they left there.

When he left, he stumbled upon Bellara.

“Oh, hey Lucanis.”

“Bellara, have you seen Rook?”

“I haven’t spoken to her directly today but…a few minutes ago I did see her running to the Eluvian. She didn’t tell me where she was going though.”

“Mierda.” He whispered. “Thank you, Bellara.”

She frowned. “Is everything alright? You look troubled.” She gasped. “Oh no, is Rook in trouble?”

He shook his head. “No, no. If anyone’s in trouble, it’s me.” Bellara looked at him, confused but he only said “I have to go.” before running to the eluvian as well.

“Be careful!” He heard Bellara shouting as he ran downstairs.

He stared at the Eluvian and began thinking on where Rook could have run to.

Lucanis ruled a few of them out. He knew her well enough to know she wouldn’t go to Minrathous or the Necropolis if she was distressed. He considered Rivain, but remembered how much she complained about the endless sand there.

And considering what had just happened, he doubted she’d go to Treviso. Arlathan was a possibility but he believed he had better chances in the Anderfels, as her friends were there.

With a destination in mind, he stepped through the eluvian, journeying through the Crossroads until he reached the Hossberg Wetlands.

“Mila, have you seen Rook?” Lucanis asked the girl, as he approached the Wardens.

“She was talking to Antoine and Evka a few minutes ago..” Mila pointed to where the couple stood. “She seemed upset.”

“Mierda.” He whispered, hoping the child didn’t listen. “Thank you, Mila.”

“Of course!”

He approached the two Wardens.

“Lucanis. What are you doing here?” Evka asked.

“I’m looking for Rook. Mila told me she had just passed through here?”

“Yes, we were talking to her.” Antoine said, not paying much attention to the crow as he worked on some strange device. “She was seeking advice on-”

He was cut off by Evka loudly clearing her throat. The two shared a look, silently communicating with each other before Evka turned to Lucanis. “Rook was…upset. Do you know anything about it?”

“I…” he rubbed the back of his neck. “May have something to do with it.”

Evka’s knuckled tightening around her hammer was probably not a good sign. Antoine placed a hand on her shoulder. “For your sake, I hope you figure it out quickly.”

“Thank you. Did she-”

“She didn’t say where she was going, but she did use the eluvian.” Evka cut him off.

Lucanis nodded and headed back there.

In Arlathan, he also found no trace of Rook. Even places he had ruled out before, the Necropolis and Rivain, he ended up visiting just to be sure but found nothing.

Lucanis was growing worried. What if something had happened to Rook? What if one of the evanuris agents had gotten to her? If she had been killed?

What if he never found her and told her everything he felt?

Lucanis took a deep breath. He had to remember that Rook was a capable woman, she could fend for herself and she had the advantage of being a warden - neither the blight nor darkspawn could surprise her.

The sun was beginning to set and he decided he’d try one more place before returning to the Lighthouse. There were only two places he hadn’t been to yet: Minrathous and Treviso.

He had ruled out his home, but it’d make more sense for her to be there. At the very least, the city wasn’t destroyed due to her choices and there was the chocolate she liked.

With a deep breath, he made his way to Treviso.

It was nighttime when he arrived, the moons shining bright in the sky. He could smell in the air that it would rain soon.

He closed his eyes as he considered where he would go. As he took another deep breath, gathering his thoughts, Spite spoke.

“Smells like...earth. Lavender. Rook was here.” The demon said.

“Can you find her?” Lucanis asked.

“Find Rook. Can do.”

Dawn hugged her knees, as she looked to the sky. It had begun to rain, the water soaking her clothes and hair but she did not care.

She never had this many chances to just stop and look at the moons. Not in the Gallows and most certainly not with the Wardens. She had finished eating the last of the sweets she had bought, but there was an emptiness in her not even sweets could help with.

Maker, what had she done? Running away like that. For all the time she spent telling Lucanis he needed to communicate his thoughts, she went and did the exact opposite.

Grand leader she was.

She was driven out of her thoughts by the sound of steps near her. Turning her head, she saw Lucanis, hands on his hips, also wet from the rain, breathing heavily.

“Do you have any idea…how much time I spent today looking for you?” He said.

“Lucanis, I- how did you find me?”

Skeletal purple wings sprouted from his back as he said “I had a bit of help.” He walked towards her as she stood up. “Dawn, I’m…I’m sorry.”

She frowned. “Sorry for what? You didn’t do anything wrong, I’m-”

“No. Please, I have to say this.” He took a deep breath. “I’m sorry for not being clear in my intentions. I haven’t done…this before. I was never the charming one and after the Ossuary…you’ve seen it yourself. I don’t know how to deal with these feelings.” Lucanis took a step forward. “I’m bad with words, so I did what I thought was best, what I thought would show…” He stopped himself and sighed. “I told you it wouldn’t be enough.”

“Stop.” She said, getting closer to him and holding his gloved hands. “It was more than enough.” Dawn shook her head. “I’m not used to people liking me. I’m not used to being cared for. So when you made dessert just for me, I got scared. I didn’t know if it meant more, and I was scared of asking and ruining whatever we had. And then Davrin said all these things and I’m…” She looked into his eyes. “I’m sorry too. I should have told you how I felt, I shouldn’t have ran away.”

“And what is is that you feel?”

“That you’re the right one.” She put it simply.

For a moment, the two stayed like that: standing on the rooftops of an abandoned building, while it rained and they held hands, unsure of what to say.

Dawn saw Lucanis look to the side, his lips thin, and she realized Spite was talking to him. Then he closed his eyes.

“This is what I should have said before.” Lucanis looked at her, with those sad eyes of his, and with a deep breath, he began. “I want you, Dawn. I cherish the moments we’ve had more than you could ever imagine, and you’re in my mind more than I’d like to admit. You’re my sky, the dawn that comes after a long night of terror and I am scared of losing you, but I can’t bear the thought of us being apart. I don’t know where this journey will lead us, but I’ll go wherever you tell me, as long as you’ll have me.”

She stared at him, overwhelmed with emotions. She didn’t know what to say, because nothing would compare to what he had said. And then she remembered her friend's words earlier that day.

“Sometimes, you just have to go for it.” Evka said. “Like killing an ogre. You don’t think, you just..do it.”

“Embrace the moment.” Antoine added. “We wardens aren’t afforded many of them, so you must make the most out of the ones you’ll be granted.”

Just do it, she thought to herself.

And so, Dawn closed her eyes and leaned forward, kissing Lucanis.

Of all things that day, Lucanis did not expect to be kissed, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Much more than just pleasant, actually.

The kiss itself was quick, ending too soon. Her lips were softer than he had imagined and they tasted of chocolate and caramel.

When they pulled back, her pupils were blown wide and redness spread across her face. Her hair, which was usually kept in a ponytail, was down and stuck to her forehead and neck.

For a moment, he felt breathless. She was beautiful.

“Sorry, I-I should have asked.” She whispered.

He shook his head, as he swept the hair from her face.

“You have no idea how long I waited for this.” Lucanis whispered. “May I?”

She nodded. He put his hands on her cheeks, cupping them, as he brought her face towards his, their lips meeting once again.

It was a bit awkward at first, both of them suffering with inexperience, but after a few seconds, they figured it out, Dawn’s hands finding his waist. The kiss deepened, causing him to softly moan, and Lucanis felt Spite’s wings sprouting once again from his back.

After what felt like a lifetime, the two stopped, both breathless, eyes closed as their foreheads touched.

“This was…wow.” She said. “I think you were right.”

“About what?”

“About the honey and lavender.” She smirked and he gave a small chuckle.

Then, Lucanis whispered “So what does this mean for us?”

“It means that whatever happens next, we do it together.”

He smiled. “I quite like the sound of that.”

hi i have more thoughts and i finished watching kotoko's audio drama (absolutely devastated there is not a single mention of her past *slamming the floor with my fist*) BUT OH MY GOD. i am very insane *looks at you with big wide eyes*

ok but one thing i wanna mention i saw someone comment under kotoko's mv that at the very end, she uses the scale (which is something often used in judgement) as the "murder weapon" for all of the chess pieces, aka her vision of justice is using justice itself as her reason for attacking. the neon blood is splattered everywhere, including the scale.

ANYWAY VOICE DRAMAAAAAA~~ the irony of kotoko pointing out "oh are you voting based on preference and bias and not their crimes?" is so funny because Jackalope literally said you can vote based on any basis.

"when the killer is met with violence, that's called karmic retribution" i feel like this line is important because she believes that all of the prisoners in MILGRAM are here for a reason, and that they have all killed someone, hence they deserve karma. she would have gone for all of them, but from what i recall Jackalope had specifically stated that prisoners with innocent verdicts could do what they wanted, hence they could protect themselves from Kotoko, but also the guilty verdicts meant that she had a "proper" reason to go and attack them.

me when i see kotoko manipulating es like oooooh you wanna give me power so baaaaaad i'll be your fangs i'll do everything i'll do the dirty work i will attack them and none of them are forgiven. but also her entire speech about being a bystander and watching all of these "crimes" being laid out in front of es, in front of us the audience is soooo silly funny i love you kotoko. "why won't you do anything if you think that it's evil"

last note: Es' headache when kotoko mentions "i'll be your fangs," and personally i've interpreted it as: Es the warden who is supposed to be the judgement dealer, has passed the responsibility to kotoko, who intends to attack everyone. But also this headache is not caused by Es' own confusion and confidence in her ability as warden. I think this is MILGRAM's doing and her status as prisoner 00. as for why, i don't have concrete evidence but from what i remember it has happened a few times? (i think it was yuno's 2nd voice drama?)

anyway *clicks guilty* my work here is cleaned up :] (i'm definitely wrong about things i'm just spitballing the 1st thing that came to mind) (also she views things as very black and white. you killed someone, so you deserve to pay. life isn't that simple honey :sob:)

I LOVEE READING MILGRAM THEORIES SM

+ heres my addition !!!! (somebody else acually pointed it out but i cant FIND THEM IF U SEE THIS HI !! I SAW UR NOVELGRAM POST AND IT STUCK SO HARD,,,,,,,)

screenshots from 1:27 of the MV, the unofficial novelgram translation (chapter 5), and chapter 5 page 6 of the unofficial novelgram manga translation.

it kinda shows that while she wants the other prisoners not to be forgiven so that she'll have a justifiable reason to deliver her justice onto them, she is also judging herself for her own sins and knows she's unforgivable (or not, maybe she thinks her justice is correct and therefore she is forgivable, idk)

also, the table and chairs are very similar to kotoko's round table where she sits in the taller chair assigned to the warden !

#milgram #milgram theory #milgram novel #milgram manga #milgram spoilers #yuzuriha kotoko #milgram kotoko #010 #too many tags i should figure out which ones to mainly put on posts #sid answers

WoW Birthday Whump: Day 3

crying/ parting words regret/ "why...?"

This is more canon story of my barbarian oc Detali Gamble! It includes Cossim Vect, and Makkel Dextri. The three of them are a polycule and also prisoners who are forced to be gladiators and fight each other to the death :)

This also comes directly before my post from Day One !

Content: Forced to whump, Multiple whumpees, character death (!!), blood, improper use of guns, barbarian typical rage, male whumpee, female whumpee, mute caretaker, needles, drugs, head injuries, institutional whump, celebrity whumpee, defiant whumpee

︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

“One last kiss, Tali?”

Detali’s heart skipped a beat.

Tali.

She stopped, gun held above her head, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

Cossim looked up at her from where he kneeled. His hair stuck to his forehead, matted down by the mixture of hot desert sand and blood coming from his several head wounds. His honey-golden eyes held a sadness Detali couldn't place.

Finally she shook her head at him. “Never gonna happen, baby.”

She swung the gun down on his skull. Cossim’s head snapped forward with the force of the blow, and his body quickly followed, leaving him face down in the sand.

Crowds roared around them and camera drones swarmed the scene.

Detali looked up at her adoring fans, but did not smile.

Something's wrong.

Cossim never called her by her name during fights, only her stage name: Medusa. And Tali? That nickname? It was special– used only in the gentlest moments between them. Why would he call her that now?

Hands landed on Detali’s shoulders and ushered her through the stadium-turned-desert, and into an elevator. She turned, watching through the sliver of the doors closing behind her as Cossim’s body was lifted onto a stretcher.

The groan of machinery made her ears ring as the elevator began to descend. She took the moment to try and catch her breath, feeling the exhaustion seep into her bones. She always put her all into these fights. The warden had warned her what would happen if she were caught pulling her punches.

It felt like the elevator couldn't have moved any slower as Detali feared Cossim's fate. When they got out of the elevators, he would either be rolled to the right, to the infirmary, where they would resurrect him and he would be safe for another month, or they would roll his body to the left to the furnaces. Then…

The elevator door opened and she rushed out. She was met with a wall of cameras and microphones pushed into her face. She smiled as politely as she could muster as she caught sight of the stretcher.

Turn right, she silently urged. Please, turn right.

The stretcher turned left.

She snapped. She launched her body forward, screaming and shoving her way through reporters and guards.

“No! Stop!” She demanded.

Someone yanked her backwards, their arms wrapped tightly around her upper body, stopping all attempts at motion. She threw her head back in an effort to free herself but was met with a rock-solid chest.

“Let me go! Fuck off and let me go!”

She looked down at the arms wrapped around her. Tattooed black bands on the forearm confirmed her suspicions.

Makkel was trying to save her again.

She thrashed with all her might, but Makkel pulled her to the ground.

“He can't die! Please! It's his fucking birthday! Please!”

The prick of a needle stung in her neck. She felt the pressure of a fluid, a sedative probably, rush through her, making her dizzy.

She tried to lunge forward again as Makkel laid her on the floor.

Her vision started blurring at the edges, “Why? Why are you doing this?”

Makkel shook his head at her.

Tears pooled in her eyes. “I didn't-”

Makkel tucked his arms underneath her knees and neck.

“I didn't tell him,”

She was lifted from the floor.

She managed to whisper, “I didn't tell him I loved him,” before her vision finally went black.

Idk how to say this but I just saw a movie in my native language and boy there was just something about it lol

I saw a clip of the movie where there was a female prisoner getting harassed by the obsessive prison warden?(I’m not sure if it’s called like that)

And of course as a girl who reads ✨things✨ on this platform regularly, I figured maybe some kind of prison AU is interesting. Like the cold and powerful prison warden forcing himself onto the poor prisoner girl while she was alone doing chores. I know you’re not getting requests these days but I just want to know how you think about it and maybe it could be something in the future? Idk

Also I love your work. You’re one the most creative people I know :3

As a girl who also devours dark and depraved content, you have me intrigued with this movie you are watching. Tell me the name, honey. I must know for research purposes hehe~.

Not going to lie, it does sound like something I may want to tackle in the future. Defenseless prisoner submitting to the whims of a brutish prison warden? Ahhh I'm quivering just thinking about it 🤤. Out of curiosity, if I ever did open up my requests, who exactly do you think would fit such a storyline? Did you have a particular character in mind to be the prison warden?

And thank you so much! My creativity is a little fucked up but I'm happy that it brings you enjoyment. ❤️

Polaris re-reads Nanbaka, in chronological order.

(beware of spoilers if you haven't gone past the Anime or if you stopped reading at some point I guess?)

This manga is so fucking sparkly. Love it.

You know, I had forgotten that the first time we see Samon he's in the warden's office. They are actually pretty close aren't they? It's a surprisingly wholesome relationship.

Love how Musashi is homicidal for a grand total of like three chapters and the instant he loses his powers (pretty much a wish he's had for years) he becomes the chillest, kindest guy. I had completely forgotten how many languages he speaks, this guy is insane.

Love how Musashi's wearing a skirt and no one says anything about it.

He's such an absolute nerd despite his appearance.

Jyugo's and Musashi's relationship is so cute. Puppies.

Fascinated by the workings of Samon's tail. Like this is clearly a tail but texture-wise it is clearly a belt. Way too smooth to be a tail. What the hell.

Tsukumo my beloved. Him and Jyugo being awkward beans who have no idea how their real selves are and have no idea how normal society functions together... Solidarity baby.

I love Samon's tattoos, they're so cool.

Uno meeting Musashi was actually so wholesome. Uno realizes this scary guy is actually timid and sincere and nice and goes oh well, no choice but to adopt him now. We already have Jyugo, what's one more. It's in moments like these where you see how truly kind Uno is.

Uno inviting Musashi to the game room!!

Samon as a whole. My beloved.

Mao why are you so mean. I wonder if what he's saying is true tho like he is absolutely the type to make shit up just to get under Samon's skin. (edit, a lot of chapters later : indeed there were bad rumors about building 5. Because Mao made them all up ! Dude how petty are you!)

Getting Aiolia-Aiolios vibes from Enki and Samon. You know, elder brother's a "traitor" therefore the younger brother is distrusted?

Samon is actually a good teacher. That's neat.

Completely forgot he actually swears a lot? It's fun.

In Qi's backstory, he's not wearing any (eyeliner?) makeup. I think it's sweet that he is wearing makeup in prison, he's more free (ironically) to express himself! Also it's so cute that Samon provides makeup for his inmates. (though he seems to be wearing nail polish in the flashbacks. At this point I am genuinely wondering if everyone wearing nail polish is a manga feature instead of Actual In-Universe nail polish)

It's so incredibly sweet that the building 5 inmates see Samon as the one who's giving them a second chance and helping them become better people. Like really all you would need to cure Samon's self-esteem issues would be to give him mind-reading powers and an hour with his inmates.

(chapter 91) really I can't with them. Qi holds Samon in such high esteem! That's genuine respect! And Samon trusting Qi and telling him that his skills (that have been used for such terrible things before!) are valuable and useful and good! And taking his inmates to see the gardens using a loophole to authorize it even thought it seems to be forbidden!

Samon being the one to reconnect Upa with his family! It was so wholesome...... Samon is just such a great guy, no wonder his inmates like him so much. He deserves it!

Kshshsh what do you mean the reason Honey and Trois are in this top prison despite committing the pettiest theft ever is because their escape attempts from previous prisons were actually about a hundred times more fucking intense and bloody than the crimes that landed them here in the first place?? Unfuckingbelievable. They cannot be real.

Jyugo having yet another crisis about the meaning of his existence. Baby it's not that deep, the meaning of existence is to be happy and enjoy life. You're overthinking again (very justified tho. Fuck Elf).

Love the contrast between Honey's special skill (extremely technical, extremely delicate, really hard to handle, extremely specific) and Trois' (Things That Make Huge Explosions). It mirrors the contrast between their personalities, Honey's being explosive and Trois' being sly. They're made for each other (I don't ship them, but it's very clear they're a package deal).

Honey finding out Tsukumo's a celebrity and keeping quiet about it because that's what Tsukumo wants is actually really cute. He's an asshole but he's not bad.

This chapter where they all exchange hair colors - Musashi with blonde-pink hair was surprisingly cute.

Samon can feel people's presence? That's fascinating. Enki can probably do it too given some of his comments. How does it works.

Enki's uniform is so ugly. Baby why did you think this red and this green together was a good idea.

Musashi being vulnerable with Yozakura! And talking to him! And Yozakura believing in him! And the way Musashi changed Yozakura too! It's because of Musashi that he thought about asking for Enki's motives, that he understood that criminals are not evil ! It's sweet.

Enki being offered an opportunity to ask for help and denying it. I wonder how many times he's done that. Motherfucker your brother adores you, would it kill you to open up a little for once.

"you wouldn't understand" fuck you Enki, Yozakura might be one of the only ones who would understand (on account of having listened to Musashi's story and believed it). Also that's a flimsy excuse when you didn't even try to make people understand!!

Kiji is scary. And good at feelings, which is arguably more terrifying in a manga like that.

I know Hajime's violence is meant to be comedic but uh. I don't really like how prompt he is to beating up the inmates or his coworkers.

Samon still believing in Inori even after his betrayal and the cruel things he said...... I love him. Hope Inori knew the amount of faith Samon had in him.

But also Samon baby you need to stop blaming yourself for everything that's just not healthy.

The other guards being worried about Samon working too much... That's sweet.

Samon and Hajime working together are undefeatable uh.

Me during the entire Enki arc : *chanting without stopping* someone give Samon a hug someone give Samon a hug someone give Samon a hug-

It's cool that Samon knows how to use all the different weapons that the guards of building 5 use.

Inori is pretty good. It's sweet how he thinks that Samon's strength is believing in others. I think it's nice that he's trying to spare Samon a confrontation with Enki because he knows Samon still believes in his brother, like, yeah guys stop blaming Samon for hesitating to fight his brother whom he adores.

Aw, Samon's learning to rely on his subordinates! Good for you baby!

the flashback about the organ trafficking case :( Samon tries so hard to help Enki and Enji just rejects his help so harshly.... I mean I'm pretty sure he was trying to protect Samon from the consequences of his actions but he simply did not have to be cruel about it. That kind of stuff, when said by someone you love and admire so much, stays with you for years if not your whole life. It's no wonder Samon's got self-esteem issues with a brother like that really.

Jyugo having his 56th identity crisis of the month. And I'm sorry to tell you it's nowhere near done!

Samon's and Enki's grandpa is weird. And their parents don't seem super good either. Did these kids have any good adults?? No wonder they've got issues relying on others.

"the strength I wish for is not something you can understand" Enki, baby, he's five. Of course he can't understand. You gotta explain at least a little bit.

The Gokuu brothers are on a interestingly similar wavenleght but they gotta learn to communicate with words.

Babies Noriko and Samon... They're so cute. Samon adding to his goal to become stronger so he can stand close to Noriko without fainting! So she won't be lonely! Definitely siblings. It's a different relationship from the one with Enki because he was already strong enough to touch Noriko to begin with while Samon really put in the effort for her. No saying Noriko's and Enki's relationship is lesser, I'm just biased because Samon's my favorite.

Noriko being able to say, to know without a doubt that she is not a monster thanks to Enki and Samon... That's love right there.

You know I was wondering why Noriko didn't believe in people despite having Samon and Enki and Houzuki but.

Holy SHIT

Her family imprisoned her. In a CAVE. For TEN YEARS??? When she didn't do anything?? Death for all of them.

Samon doubting Enki is framed as a bad things but like. He was literally there when "Enki" killed someone. I don't blame him for not automatically thinking of mind-control.

Is Kiji actually good at feelings or is he there to explain the internal reasoning of someone who won't do an internal monologue?

Samon using Noriko's ki shield.... That's love, too.

Awww, his tattoos are reminders of Noriko's lessons!

Samon promising to help his big siblings because they always try to do everything themselves... He's so precious.

That's also very painful, because I remember what comes next.

The more I see of Enki's and Samon's makeup the more I feel like they're birthmarks or something. Samon had it when he was five!

Ah, "what comes next" is here. SOMEBODY GIVE SAMON A FUCKING HUG.

Well, that's not quite a hug, but a headpat, a good cry, and a "you still have family here" is good enough. Well done, Inori.

Somehow getting the flashback of when everything was okay right after that hurts so much.

The warden patted Samon's head twice onscreen and absolutely many more times offscreen. It's hilarious and cute. She's not immune to his charms.

"I'm not that tall" Enki baby have you heard of a certain river in Egypt by any chance.

First of all. Samon sitting on Inori's shoulders is cute. Second, the fact that he needs to do that to look his brother in the eye, rofl.

It's interesting to think that Samon and Jyugo are linked now. Samon's siblings have changed Jyugo... Even if with the way those things tend to work, Jyugo will forget about them and they won't be mentioned again :(

"did my habitual truancy backfire?" Qi I love you so much-

(chapter 159) Qi and Musashi being nerds together was actually so cute. I wish we could see them interact more often.

The bath guys are fucking insane. Nanbaka really is a comedy.

Musashi asked Hitoshi if he could maybe talk to Qi again !!! That's so fucking cute. They're friends!! Good for them!! People who have had a hard life making friends again!!

Several of the dogs of building 4 have piercings!! Kshshshsh this is too much

Mao is still holding a grudge for Samon blaming him and saying he hated him when they were, what, Nine ? Ten? Is a bit, man, get over it. I personally think that Mao does feel guilty (even tho I'm pretty sure the bad guys would've found Noriko even without him, he did play a part in it) and can't deal with that so he is projecting the blame on someone else....

The biggest mystery of the manga is actually : does the warden have a really bad case of resting bitch face or is Hajime just really bad at reading people's faces?

Sometimes I forget some of those people are real adults. What do you mean Yamato's got a daughter. That changes his whole character.

There's quite a bit of teasing Samon about his intelligence or lack thereof but to be honest I don't really see where it comes from?

Literally two seconds after I wrote this : ah.

So he ranked last in the prisons written exam....

Come to think of it did he even have formal education??

"maybe he was just searching for a human who wouldn't die when wreathed in flames" and he found one :((((

! Noriko and Enki mentioned several chapters later! That's good, Jyugo hasn't forgotten the lessons they taught him yet.

Aw.... Musashi turning off his fire right when he could have killed Jyugo easily... And losing his sight in the process.... :( I love him

When Musashi talked about their past he made it sound like he turned homicidal the instant he saw the blades... Without mentioning that he apparently could have killed Jyugo but chose not to. I wonder if he didn't say anything about that because he thought Jyugo or the guards wouldn't believe him?

Jyugo didn't know Noriko and Enki were dead :(((

Love the dress Musashi's wearing in the flashback.

Wish he had kept the longer hair....

Jyugo clocked Musashi as a good guy the instant he met him. So cute. It's also interesting that he said that they were the same because 1) he didn't know Musashi had powers or a past with the man with the scar at this point, and 2) this might have been the first time Jyugo actually felt companionship, which is awesome for my they are siblings agenda.

Musashi sneaking out of his cell just to go to the library. I love him so much and as a fellow bookworm, I approve.

Aw, Musashi's teaching Jyugo things. That's sweet. I wonder if anyone else taught Jyugo things before?

Jyugo getting severely beat up just to bring Musashi a book... And he used to say that he didn't have any wants before. Clearly he always had at least one and it was making his friends happy.

Jyugo pointing out that Musashi's bad at sneaking and that's because our boy is a goody-two-shoes lmao. This flashback really shows that Musashi was just a good kid who did literally nothing wrong. He got framed and his life was destroyed just because of the way he was born :(

Aw, they really were good friends.

Which makes the falling out worse. Musashi felt betrayed because he thought Jyugo worked with the ones who destroyed his life and Jyugo felt betrayed because his (probably) first close friend attacked him for seemingly no reason. And technically they were both right :( such a mess

It is. So interesting that before using the shackles to harm Musashi he had barely thought about them. Getting them off was his goal since the start of the manga so it made it seem like he'd been focused on that since the shackles appeared but actually he paid them no mind at all until they were used to harm his only friend. The one reason why he wanted to find the man with the scar and get the shackles off is because they were the reason Musashi wouldn't talk to him (technically correct). The man "ruined everything" as I think Jyugo's said before, but only now do we discover that "everything" was his relationship with Musashi. He was really important to Jyugo, much more than just a simple former cellmate. It's just so.... To discover that his whole reason to live (finding the man with the scar) was actually about Musashi all along! It's huge! I joke about them being siblings but man I had forgotten how much they genuinely loved each other.

As someone who also thinks Musashi is great I relate :D

Musashi was actually investigating uh. I love when we get reminded of how smart he is.

Musashi trusting Jyugo because he never called Musashi a monster is kinda cute but also baby, you have the lowest standards. That's the bare minimum!!

Jyugo crying on Musashi..... I'm telling you they're siblings! Also it's sweet how Musashi doesn't panic at all despite very obviously having never experienced this level of emotion coming from Jyugo.

Aw, he was patching him up in the flashback.

Jyugo calling Musashi's warmth "like the sun"..... I love both of them and their relationship.

Alrlkshakl Musashi feeling bad about winning money in a drinking contest...... He is so fucking earnest. I love him so much. Also he looks good in non-black-and-red clothes.

Aw, he's teaching Hitoshi languages. It's sweet, and nice that he has company.

One big consequence of what happened to him is that he's bad at believing that when he speaks he will be heard and believed. It's really good that he's learning to speak up! All of them need therapy but I guess it's a start.

Ikkaku baby you need sooo much therapy. But so does everyone else so I guess you fit right in.

His nails are like claws. Cannot help but think of the practical aspects. How do you even scratch yourself without taking flesh off.

He was the one who gave Musashi his blindfold? That's.... Interesting given that he had no way to know that Musashi would be blinded. So his blindfold really is some random straps of leather (?) ? Does it says something about Musashi's feelings for Ikkaku that he kept it all this time? Or does he just not care since he can't see what he's wearing.

His fucking toenails are long and pointy ?? Not only does that seems impractical, it also seems unhealthy!

Musashi not wanting to fight Ikkaku because he helped him before... And trying to talk to him... He's so good and it's not working in his favor :(

Hmmm. So Zakuro's and Ikkaku's goal was to escape with Musashi and Jyugo?... Not sure if I believe it yet.

(really funny how they both point blank refused to leave without even taking a second to consider. Sorry, all the people they love are in this prison, there's literally no reason to leave)

Musashi seeing right through Ikkaku wanting to use him was so funny. In your face, motherfucker.

Turns out I was right to not believe in Ikkaku and Zakuro.

You know I feel like Musashi and Ikkaku could be great friends if Ikkaku was less of an asshole. Introverted friend and extroverted friend.

Musashi using physics to fight Ikkaku! And the dogs saying that Musashi's true strength is his mind! I really love when the manga reminds us how smart he is.

Him deducing Ikkaku's motives and how he was at the center of many things!! I really love how smart he is.

Lmao the contrast between Musashi's and Ikkaku's fight (bloody and dramatic) and Jyugo's and Zakuro's fight (over in five minutes because Jyugo's a weakling).

Aw, Zakuro :(

Yeesh. Dude really went through it. That's no way to live. No wonder he's a little bit insane.

And even with everything that happened to him, he still wanted to help someone in the same situation as him! What a good kid.

Jyugo's unthinking faith in Musashi is killing me. He knows Musashi won't turn on him or Zakuro, because that's just how it is! He also knows Musashi will win his fight, because he's strong. That's just how it is. He believes in Musashi so much!!.

Musashi tricking Ikkaku into close combat to win his fight! And using Hitoshi's sword because he's been fighting for Hitoshi too! He's so smart and cool I love him so much. I'm repeating myself about him being smart and it's because I really appreciate it.

Ikkaku getting captured by dogs.... Rofl. Just what he deserves.

Pretty sure that's where I stopped last time I read nanbaka. So from now on everything is new!

I know this is meant to be comedic but I don't think beating up a very traumatized guy is a very good idea??

Woof. Uno's fucking savage.

What the fuck is up with Dread.

Kojiro's cute.

Tauro seems good.

Wow, Jemi and Jeni are flat-out monsters.

Tauro is a good guy! I like him :)

Aw, Jun is great.

Hm.

Fuck Rokudo.

Ban :(((

Tauro really is a good guy.... It's good that he at least got to learn that his sister was alive before he died.

FUCK ROKUDO.

The one bright point in this backstory was Jemi and Jeni getting what they deserved (a violent death)

There's a lion lady! Love her design

..... Knowing this manga, is it a lady?

(chapter 236) Lmao Jyugo confirming that Musashi got his power back and his only reaction is "could you heat up my hot chocolate? :3". What's funnier is Musashi doing it despite being mildly offended.

!! Musashi accepting that his power is a part of him !!!

And obviously the first thing this absolute nerd does about it is trying to study his own power. What else.

Lololol Jyugo burning his tongue and Musashi scolding him but the next panel you can see Musashi holding a glass of water. He's such an older brother. The sibling energy in this chapter is off the charts.

Jyugo pointing at Musashi and Musashi scolding him is killing me for several reasons : first of all, the fact that Musashi is blind. Which means that he knew Jyugo was pointing just because he knows Jyugo well !! I love them so much. Also, once again, the big brother energy is strong. And, lastly, I feel like this is giving us a glimpse of how their relationship was before all the drama : Jyugo did say Musashi was teaching him things, and with that little interaction I am now 100% sure that "things" included basic manners. They're so sweet.

Musashi's getting out of the underground!! :D

Musashi stopping Zakuro from falling and telling him he was overwhelmed at the number of people too and it's okay to go at your own speed and you don't have to force yourself into everything right away and everything will be okay eventually 🥺 he's so good......

Aw, Musashi and Zakuro are pairing up at cards, that's cute.

Zakuro is such an awkward bean, but I like that he's awkward in a markedly different way than Jyugo. They have different traumas so it makes sense.

The bath guys scare even Upa!! Wow :D

Yozakura saying that he'll do his best to be useful to Shin and Shin being an ass about it. Fuck you man, leave our beloved dog alone.

That said, them bonding over their dislike of Hajime is hilarious (even funnier that they dislike him for the same reason).

Hitoshi being indestructible will never get old.

Yamato's wife and Nadeshiko meeting the mercenary brothers made me so uneasy. Please please please get away from them.

Ikkaku and Kojiro being friends is sweet. Even assholes like Ikkaku deserve friends I guess.

Ikkaku was the one who tattooed Musashi? How interesting.

Ikkaku saying that Musashi's power is great because Musashi is the one who has it... He really does respects Musashi. It really does feel like they could've been genuine friends in another setting.

Love the casual background Musashi-Jyugo interactions. Jyugo failing a test and Musashi bopping him on the head with said test. The reason he's irritated is probably because he tried teaching Jyugo stuff and it didn't stick haha

Wow, didn't think we'd be getting new supervisors at this point.

Is that a fucking sarcophagus.

Snake person!! Snake person!! Snake person!! :D

Shin being weirded out by the supervisors like any normal person would is so funny because 1) it implies that even the more normal guards are not, in fact, up to the in-universe standard of normal and 2) Shin is a goddamn weirdo, what do you mean he's the first one who's being reasonable about the supervisors' weirdness??

Kitsune-looking supervisor : *takes off his mask* *there's another mask underneath!* *wait, no, that's just his face*

Building 4 is the building of education? Oh, no wonder Musashi ended up here.

I don't like Shin, but his reactions to the supervisors introducing themselves are gold. Or maybe they're glass? *badum tsss*

(completely in accord with him about building 12's supervisor tho)

Building 12 is the building of the sun? What does that even mean.

Hajime didn't say what building 13 was of......

Some of the buildings like the building of art and the building of education make sense but some of the others... Do not.

I really like that Shin brought up Enki because I was scared he'd be forgotten. In a lot of mangas or books, things that happen earlier seem to have a tendency to be forgotten so I was afraid that'd happen to Enki and Noriko.

Orochi, I like you, but you're being suspicious.

Honestly, several of these people being some kind of immortal is not that surprising.

Love Kiji's culture. I feel like he and Musashi would get along.

It's interesting that Kiji and Samon were able to feel Elf's presence (Samon somewhat more clearly than Kiji?) despite not having elf cells.

Hmmm. I may have to revoke my dislike of Shin.

More Musashi flashbacks !! Yes !!

You know, he looks more tiny in the flashbacks.

Love how curious and analytic he was about Ikkaku. This guy just always wants to know things uh.

Musashi "recognizing" Ikkaku is interesting. Is there some sort of link between people with powers?

Ikkaku's a good actor, uh?

Maybe I've just been reading too many Clone Wars fics but it feels like naming someone, as Ikkaku does here, is significant.

Despite that and him being friendly and helpful, Musashi never really trusted him, which turned out to be the correct decision.

It's interesting that Musashi is still able to guess that Ikkaku's hiding something despite not really knowing him.

! He's hiding a place from the others (except Kojiro) !

(they really are friends uh)

He doesn't have elf cells ?

Me, five minutes ago : he vomited ink?? Nah, why would it be ink.

Me now : it was ink

Ikkaku letting the prison think that he was weaker than he was looked like really good power control but in actuality he was poisoning himself to not fry them all when he lost his temper. Guess his control was not as good as it looked.

We already knew those guys were somewhat evil but yikes. The casual mention of torture.

Interesting that his feelings about the man with the scar seem real. He probably used those to convince Musashi that he was actually against him.

Talking sharks :D

Ikkaku telling one of the sharks that he said to not go to the river because it was dangerous.... Uh! He cares about them!

Ikkaku eating raw crocodile. Baby what are doing.

Fuck these rich kids. Leave the sharks alone >:(

Ikkaku being mean but only to motivate Kojiro... It's... Sorta sweet in a twisted way?

Kojiro's first instinct being to talk it out.... Baby.... :(

And getting splattered with the blood of his friend for it!! Fuck these rich kids.

Feels like Ikkaku's trying to make Kojiro tougher so he will survive. It's a twisted way of caring but it's still caring.

Can't believe this guy is seeking vengeance for Jeni. Of all people.

Kojiro still giving one last chance to these assholes........

And these assholes not taking it! Man, have you got no sense of self-preservation? Or any sense at all? When someone who's got your life in their hands tell you he'll spare you if you apologize, you grovel ! Even if the apology is a lie!

Holy shit Kojiro has a lot of shark friends.

Awww. Ikkaku helped the dying shark! He was so talking shit when he said these cruel things to Kojiro!

It's so sweet that he helped Kojiro even though he's really weak right now and Kojiro probably didn't need his help.... Ah, can't help it, I like him again.

He cares about Kojiro's freedom so much!! Of course it might be because Elf having a bigger presence in Kojiro could mean trouble for his plans.... But still! That speech he gave Kojiro! He really does care! (I'm shipping them now)

Kojiro deciding to have fun. That's his goal in life and he's sticking to it. You go baby!

He was a child soldier? Are we finally getting some Ikkaku backstory?? :D

No way his nails grew back just because he got his power back up. That's not how it works.

Looking at the sharks closer.... Do some of them have tattoos ?? Did Ikkaku tattoo these sharks?? :D

A freaking megalodon???

*firm nod* Kojiro's powers are actually of cartoonish origin. There's no other way.

"it's fine, he's not my real dad" so it's fine if he dies just because he isn't your biological parent? Kid. :/

"I don't see gods as something to be worshipped, I see them as something to pick fights with". This old man is cool. And would enjoy building 5.

Aw, the kid was just being a tsundere [saying this, it threw aside a large rock]. Their backstory is cute. Two people who lost their families finding a new one with each other :) it's cute how worried he is.

Kojiro's too good for this world.

Ikkaku really isn't as ruthless as he makes himself look, uh.

The both of them making friends with the cops who came to arrest them. It's so light-hearted.

Yikes, the zodiac fishermen escaped a very messy death by like five minutes.

Taura!! Lady are you freaking haunted ??

Lion lady is not a lady

:(((

(chapter 266) Rock is being suspicious. Does this guy maybe..... Comes from money? I'm not very good at deductions so I'm probably super wrong but oh well.

(chapter 269) I should've expected Trois' calm personality to be a good match for Musashi.

Lmao, Nico asking Musashi to warm up his drink. I smell a running gag coming.

Jyugo giving Musashi a stupid nickname behind his back.... Sibling behavior I tell you.

This Chimney lady is so fun.

Liang getting some Naruto-style therapy! He needs it honestly. Or rather he needs actual therapy but I'll take what I can get.

Nanbaka really is a comedy. This is just like Hajime using Hitoshi as a club.

What a missed opportunity for Nico to go "just like a manga".

Rock also getting some mid-fight therapy.... Honesty I'm mostly having second-hand embarassment because everyone who watched the match could hear what they were saying.

I cannot believe that this joke of a match ended up being so important to Rock's and Liang's character development.

Their friendship is sweet tho.

This Chimney lady is so goddamn extra. Love her.

I was right about Rock ??? Uh. That doesn't usually happen.

RIP building 6, victims of their own aesthetic.

Is that a fucking watermelon vampire!!! :D

He made his cape out of curtains!!

Uno's fucking ruthless. My beloved.

The watermelon vampire is so bitchy ! :D

Tsukumo, I had not realized I missed you but I definitely did.

The inmates can get certifications! That's really good.

Lmao. Tsukumo casually taking commissions to act like a ninja for five minutes because it makes the inmates happy.

Why do I only now notice that Nico's teeth are fucked up.

The vampire's bitchiness is no longer funny. We go back to eating the rich I guess, even if I don't like watermelon.

Kshshshsh Tsukumo making traps in other people's buildings. Baby. Why. (it's even funnier than if he was doing it in his own building, but it'd be highly illegal either way)

The building 6 inmates have the range : they're mostly (Bio excluded, perhaps?) complete goofballs, and they're also dangerous and competent when in their own territory.

Two of them assuming that Jyugo's blades are a costume is such a normal reaction. Obviously if you saw someone with blades for arms you'd assume it was a prop, duh. That said they also have in their group someone who can somewhat manipulate illnesses by biting people or himself so.....

I thought "curse" was just a fancy way of saying poison but no, as it turns out curses and other supernatural occurrences are very much real in nanbaka. Deer lord.

Holy cow. Uno's playing 5d chess every time he fights.

So Rock can just. Flat-out. See and hear ghosts?? Because ghosts are real in this manga?? Jfc what are the chances it's never useful or even mentioned once the Halloween event ends.

The building 6 guard going "the last obstacle is A Lot of Really Difficult locks!!" and everyone from building 13 (+ Honey) going "ah." was pure gold. Those locks have met their natural enemy.

Oh dear. Mister watermelon vampire takes his sleep Very Seriously. How relatable (except for the firearms).

The whole coffin is a weapon. Wow. This really is a crack manga. How does mister watermelon vampire even manages to lift it? He's a noodle.

Sure just give an inmate an extremely dangerous weapon. Like, that doesn't seem very wise (of course the alternative was him dying so I guess it's alright).

So V was a literal, actual slave. Wonderful. He needs so much therapy.

"it's one thing after another!" you've done it, Hajime. You've summarized the entire manga.

V needs sooo much therapy.

Yikes. All these years Rock thought that V had killed himself because of him (in a convoluted way)? That's got to have left a mark.

Lololol and during this extremely violent sequence of events, Tsukumo and Honey were just serenely cooking breakfast. Are The rooms here soundproof??

Lmao. Jyugo can be so sneaky! Asking Tsukumo to convince Honey to help because he remembers Honey's a huge fan of Tsukumo! And Tsukumo just going along with it without a single question!

Tsukumo is no good at being a ninja but he is very good at costumes and disguises.

Oh! He just changed the color of his hair because he is now able to control the hair-changing disease he caught from Nico! Turns out he is not that good at disguises haha.

Bio's and Nico's powers are science-induced rather than being natural....

V baby you are way too extreme. Also embarrassing. Calm down.

Hajime is good at feelings (this is a threat).

It's a very agressive form of therapy and it's only by plot device that it works honestly.

Jyugo getting stuck in the coffin with the vampire..... And there was only one coffin!

In addition to being a watermelon vampire, he's also periodically possessed?? There is such a thing as too much for one character.... But that's not the case here, that guy's great.

Tsumuji (mask person) is really cute. Wonder if he's trans. That'd be great.

I'm glad I was wrong about ghosts not being relevant past building 6 :)

What do you mean the ghost's name is hell. Lmao.

When Taura got possessed, her entire appearance (clothes included) changed, but Isou didn't remark on it at all, which makes me think that he can't see the change. So either the change is entirely spiritual therefore only people who can see ghosts can see it, or there is actually no change and it's just for the sake of the reader. Leaning towards the first option tho.

It's sweet that Tauro was here with Taura and Hell the whole time. They got more time together :)

Hell's backstory killed me. It was just a gigantic accident haha

Jun..... Ban....

The one bright point in this is that Ikkaku looks good in normal clothes.

The man with the scar's face is definitely plot relevant.

Freeing the togabito seems like a noble goal but tbh I have less than zero trust in him or elf or the doctor.

I don't even need to say anything about the alien (except are they actually an alien or a togabito).

The inmates call him Sith?? Which star wars fan was responsible for this.

Absolutely fascinated by the fact that Tauro and Mei seems to know each other.... Relatively well? Were they friends?? Hmmm. I say exes.

Taura has a whole ass cow tail. And it's not even disguised as a belt like Samon's and Mao's. What the fuck. Is that normal.

Aw, baby Enki fighting the tiger supervisor with one finger just like Samon fought Rock! The parallels!

What counts as a togabito? Musashi's and Ikkaku's powers are obvious, but what about Hitoshi's ability to go through a concrete wall without a scratch? What about Hajime's strength? Do these three people who are exceedingly cat-like count?

Tengu!! Oh I love his hair.

It's sweet that he's friends with his supervisor.

Yamada and his snakes are so cute.

We've seen, like, five people from building 7 and I can already tell it's fucking insane.

Musashi's way too candid.

Tanaka, Yamada and Tengu's friendship is cute.

Lmao, Musashi calling Yozakura to help in the battle solely because he felt that Yozakura wanted to participate and he'd have felt bad if Yozakura couldn't have fun. Fire boy is doing this for entertainment and nothing else. He's super chill because he literally has nothing to lose.

Aw, Musashi's become even cooler! Also, don't call it a water wall if it's an ice wall.

Musashi being resigned about everyone hating him because he used his powers in public... :( he had zero doubt that he was going to be treated like a monster again :'(

But then! Everyone cheering and so many people saying that he and his power were cool and awesome!! :') I bet it healed something.

Sophia's a cutie who deserves better.

Oh dear, maybe it's a red herring but if she has the power of sleep it may interact interestingly with a watermelon vampire who apparently gets possessed while asleep.

I know Samon, Kiji, and Yozakura are meant to be closer to the warden because of their thematic but it's still sweet how they get excited when they see her for the first time in a while :)

Musashi and Jyugo bickering was cute too.

Lmao. Hitoshi's invincible. I love him.

Oh dear. I had forgotten that the vampire's not the only one who can get possessed when unconscious.

(for future me reading that later and not getting which capter I am referencing, Jyugo just got possessed by elf)

Oh no, mister watermelon vampire got kidnapped by highly unsavory characters :(

I believe that one of the reasons Hajime is so irritated by Samon is that Samon gets him. Hajime, as we've seen with his rather violent therapy speeches, is rather good at understanding people's motives, but I don't think he is used to being understood (which is exactly what Samon is doing).

Aw, the mummy person is cute.

Samon and Ruka bonding over destroying people who speak ill of Enki was fun too.

Ruka is so sly. It's fun!

Ruka didn't know Enki was dead... :(

Aw, Samon picking Ruka for the fight because if they win, Ruka will be able to visit Enki's grave.... He's so sweet I can't.

Samon is too good for this world.

Uno wondering when Samon and Ruka got so close is funny because I like perplexed POV but also sweet because Uno is so fucking observant he'd have noticed if the closeness was not genuine, which means it is! I'm happy for Samon and Ruka :)

Kaidan: *gently lays Henwen down on the furs of their bed. His hands sliding up his Snow White lovers skin as he kisses him softly, loving how his beloved literally glows in the candlelight* You never really did set me free from that prison y’know?…

Henwen: *stares up at him confused* what do you mean?

Kaidan: *kisses him again and pulls him closer* You unshackled my wrists yeah, but you imprisoned my heart the moment I first laid my eyes upon you~

Henwen: oh… *slides his hands around his shoulders* Then if I’m your warden you have to do as I sayyyYEEEK!! *pulls his foot up abruptly kneeing Kaidan in the groin making him tumble off him*

Lucia: *in tears, thankfully didn’t see or hear anything and just walked in and grabbed Henwen by his toe* papa I had another nightmare!

Henwen: oh honey come here it’s okay I- just let me help your da back into bed first Kaidan are you okay?!

Kaidan: *on the floor groaning* just- let me make sure my lad is still there… oh gods-

#I find it funny that nearly all of my friends have had this exact experience #with or without the groin kicking #skyrim #Kaidan skyrim #Henwen dragonborn #falmer dragonborn

another thing that can happen from this is a complete inability for your kid to control themselves from dangerous drugs, dangerous people, and dangerous activities.

if your kids hear "no" from you all the time, as soon as they're away from you, the answer inside their very soul will be YESSSSSSSSSS. in fact you are guaranteeing they will say "yes" to the very stuff you're terrified of them doing.

if you aren't allowing your kids to have soda/candy/cake EVER and never explained it well to your child, honey your kid is on track for a coke addiction. yes that's how it works. every coke addict i know had severe restrictions when they were kids.

if you're reading a kid's diary and feel entitled to do so, then when real life happens to that kid, you're locked out of your kids life. when bad things like breakups, test failings, best friend drama, mental health issues, school fights, self harm ideology-- when all that happens, you're locked out of it. not only are you locked out but your kid doesn't journal anymore. they lost a helpful mental health resource and now they don't talk about their feelings AT ALL. they bottle everything up, their brain gets sicker, and you are helpless as they spiral because you're the last person they would release any information to.

if you aren't normal about sex, your kid is not going to be normal about it either. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. if you shut down when real sexual experiences that happen to every child are now happening to your child, you're fucked. your kid is now in a lot of danger because of you. sex is normal, natural, neutral, inevitable in a lot of situations. it's not negative or evil, obviously you know this because you yourself are sexually active. as the adult you need to fucking grow up and understand that sex is normal or else this child is going to end up doing some seriously risky risky RISKY shit. and they're doing it behind your back because you are unsafe to discuss these emotions with.

soon your kid will want to express autonomy over what their body does. AND YES THATS NORMAL JACKASS!!!!! and when they do they're going to have to deal with the consequences all on their own (antibiotics, hospital visits, pregnancy, incurable genital disease, abusive relationship, nonconsensual experiences) without help as the uninformed scared children that they are. because you told them you'd kill them if you found a condom in their bag. well guess what jennifer humans are Free Will machines and you can't control anyone when they're ready to have sex with someone they love.

I could keep going.

I could keep going forever.

Don't be a prison warden. Be a human being who wants to build a normal relationship with another human being. Be honest. Treat them like people. Don't explode, calm the fuck down. Who could relax around ANYONE who acts like this? Nobody. 💔 Suck less. Your kids lives depend on it.

#i know i know. ''shut up imah'' i'll be quiet now. i said my piece. 😮‍💨

The first project, "Kariton ng Bagong Buhay at Pag-asa," provides kariton or food carts made by current inmates. Three former prisoners were given kariton with cooking equipment and ingredients they could use to start selling food.

[Judge Maria Sophia Solidum-Taylor, Presiding Judge of the Metro Manila Regional Trial Court 3] also said that this project is a way to give hope and inspiration to the inmates to prevent them from falling into depression and addiction.

"I call upon the national government and the Congress, the Senate, to institutionalize, to put into law the institutionalization the aftercare, the livelihood program for PDLs, drug offenders para mabigyan talaga sila ng second chance in life," Judge Taylor said. "Because these people, just like us, we're all flawed. But if you give them a chance and if you give them hope, magbabago po talaga sila."

The other project is "Padyak Para sa Pagbabago," which was initiated by Superintendent Lino M. Soriano, City Jail Warden. It aims to support the livelihoods of both current and former prisoners.

Manila Mayor Hon. Maria Sheilah "Honey" Lacuna-Pangan said in her speech at the event that these projects are important to give former inmates something to look forward to when they leave the prison.

"Ako naman po ay naniniwala na kayong lahat ay mga pawang biktima lang ng sirkumstansya at sitwasyon sa inyong paligid. Wala naman sigurong gusto maging masama. Kaya lang, napakahirap talaga siguro ng buhay ngayon," she told the inmates.

Meanwhile, the Cyber Communication Center, funded by the Rizal Technological University Laboratory High School Batch 1993 and in active participation of Judge Taylor was also opened during the event.

The facility is located at the North Sector of Manila City Jail Male Dorm and will offer free 15-minute access to video conferencing and phone calls between PDL and their loved ones.

Tuesday

pt 1 of the Jailbait series

So the lovely @grungyblonde put the seed in my trashy little brain about a jailhouse nurse!reader and my soft country boy Arvin, so here's what I hope will be the first of several connected one-shots where Arvin gets caught.

Words: 1100 ~ Content: mentions of murder, period-typical attitudes towards women, implied violence, implied abuse of power

It's an ordinary Tuesday the first time you see him. You'd been briefed that a new prisoner was being transferred to the prison you're employed by. Death row - inmate convicted of the murders of four people, including a preacher. You shiver to think about what you'll see when you look into his man's eyes. Skimming over the paperwork in his file - not much in here, you muse - you note his young-ish age. Youth is no indicator of innocence, though. You have met more than one fifteen year old who was cold-blooded to the core, and prisoner A.R is older than that. A grown man.

You wait in the starkly white med bay for him to attend his medical. It's a requirement for all new prisoners, whatever their crimes and whatever their sentence. You hear the clink of the heavy chains prisoners wear, and turn when the huge metal door opens, keys clanging against the warden's belt.

This is the man convicted of four counts of murder, including shooting a preacher in cold blood, in his own church?

He looks tired. His hair is messy, hanging over his face. An early-autumn brown, it looks soft. Stubble of the same shade grows along his upper lip and jaw, perhaps a day or two's absence of a razor.

When his gaze meets yours, he inclines his head slightly, politely. "Ma'am." His honey-on-grits drawl skates along your senses, prickling you with awareness. No one who has murdered four people should sound like that, like sin made into sound.

He looks pale under the cheap prison strip lighting. There are shadows under his tawny, lion's mane brown eyes. He has a face of planes and angles, speaking of a poor upbringing and perhaps just enough food. His knuckles are scraped. He looks sad. He looks like he's seen a lot. Old eyes in a young face. You wonder if his countenance would change with a smile. Would it light him up from the inside? Would the smile reach his eyes, or would they stay sad?

These are not thoughts you should be having.

"Sit down," you urge.

The warden pokes him with his baton, none too gently.

"There's no rush," you add, for the warden's benefit. Warden Cole has always been heavy-handed, particularly with prisoners who are older, younger, or of skinnier build than the usual. Bastard likes to assert his dominance. You don't care for it.

"Thankyou, ma'am," the prisoner murmurs, clinking over and taking a seat.

You give him your name. "I'll be assessing you today before you enter your cell, okay? What's your name?"

"I'm Arvin, Arvin Russell." A muscle in his jaw ticks.

You ask him questions about his height and weight, whether he smokes or drinks - he does smoke - and what his diet is like.

Then you get him to remove the prison-issue plastic sandals and step on to the scales so you can check whether his estimates of his vitals are close to the mark. He weighs a little less than you'd expect, but he's not terrifyingly underweight, either.

"Any issues with bowel movements? Passing water?"

Heat creeps up his cheeks; you notice the slight flush. "No, ma'am."

"Good. Would you uncuff him?" You say to Cole. "I need to listen to his heart."

Cole frowns. "This prisoner is convicted of murder in the first degree, four counts."

"Thankyou, I've read his file and I feel quite safe with you here," you say, keeping your tone saccharine sweet.

Cole puffs up unnecessarily. You barely refrain from rolling your eyes at his peacocking. He makes a great show of swinging his keys, taking them off his belt and unshackling the prisoner - Arvin, that's his name.

"Now. take off your shirt for me," you instruct, gently.

Arvin's body is lean and lithe. It looks like a body honed from hard physical work. You can imagine him as one of the construction boys hired for the railroad building that's been going on in earnest nearby, connecting these backwaters to the rest of the state.

You take the stethoscope from your desk drawer and hook it into your ears, standing to cross to Arvin and press the little metal cup to where his heart beats. He smells faintly of the prison-issue soap and the detergent that all uniforms are washed in, and under that, the ghostly tang of cigarette smoke and a whiff of freshly cut grass.

You count the heartbeats, check the watch pinned to your blouse. "Good. Thankyou, you can dress again now."

He thanks you softly, and does so. It's no more than a second before Cole is back on him, cuffing the metal back in place.

"You're safe now," he says curtly.

"Was I not safe at any point?" you ask innocently. "Mr Russell, let's have a look at your hands. Scraped up a little, I see. How did that happen?"

He looks away. "Candy-ass boys beatin' up on my sister," he mutters. "She killed herself 'cause of them. I couldn't let 'em get away with it. Sweet Lenora never hurt anyone."

Your heart clenches. It could be a sob story, but your instincts say it isn't. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Thankyou."

You dab some medicinal alcohol over the cuts. He winces, but doesn't make a single sound. You bandage his hand.

"If you need to see me, the Warden can arrange that, otherwise, I visit every two weeks for any checks that need doing, medication reviews and whatnot."

He nods. "Yes, ma'am."

You have the strangest urge to tell him to take care, but of course, you don't. You just look up at Warden Cole. "I'm ready for the next patient now."

He snorts. "You mean the next prisoner."

"Everyone who comes through these doors is a patient, Mr Cole, whatever they've done beyond them. Understood?"

He looks disgusted at taking backtalk from a woman, but this prison needs a nurse, and he knows it. "Yes, ma'am," he mutters.

You watch Arvin's hands curls into fists in his lap, and you see the violent streak in him. He doesn't like women being disrespected. You can well imagine him killing to protect his poor deceased sister.

Cole leads him away without another word. You watch him go, wondering if you'll see him again. Hoping you will, and feeling sick about it.

Four counts of murder.

Every day here, people surprise you with what they're capable of.

snippet #1

“Are you seriously still in the lab at this hour?” Hero yawned over the phone, on speaker of course, resting on a table nearby as Supervillain clacked away noisily at a server terminal.

“Yes.” Supervillain stated, her voice monotone and strained.

“It’s past midnight.” She said. If they were in person, Supervillain supposed that she’d probably be frowning but she couldn’t tell from her underground lab. “Put me on video, I want to look at you.”

“In a minute. I have some things I need to finish up here first.”

“Supervillain, I’m serious.”

The grand criminal groaned like a petulant child and switched their call over to video and her eyes rested upon a terrible sight. In the corner she could see herself and she looked horrible. She had dark eyebags and her dark hair thrown up in a messy bun, dressed in a slightly stained labcoat which paled in stark contrast to Hero. The crimefighter, her crimefighter lay on a queen sized bed in, admittedly, very cosy looking pajamas, her golden hair gorgeous and her eyes radiant.

“You haven’t showered?” Hero said, both a question and a blunt remark on Supervillain’s tendency to ignore personal hygiene for the sake of scientific innovation.

“No.” She admitted. “I went straight down here after you went home.”

“Honey, I left after lunch. You’ve been down there too long.” Hero had this look on her face that Supervillain couldn’t place, but she never could understand her emotions could she?

“Er, sorry. I sort of lost track of the time.” She trailed off under the burning sensation of her love’s gaze.

“I’m coming over.” Hero shuffled off screen and Supervillain could hear scuffling.

“You really don’t have to.”

“You can’t stop me, I’m already putting my shoes on!” Hero shouted and, despite the horrifying notion of the impeding arrival of her dear, sweet, gentle hero, Supervillain smiled.

“Alright.” She chuckled and hung up, hoping to get her work finished before Hero arrived.

“Oh, dear. It’s worse than I feared.” Hero reached up and cupped Supervillain’s face. “Are you okay? You don’t look okay.” “I’m okay. You really didn’t have to come.”

“Of course I did. If I didn’t come then you wouldn’t take care of yourself, and then you’d be a stinky villain, and I don’t want to fight a stinky villain.”

“I could’ve whipped something up in the lab.”

“What, synthetic good smells?”

“Well, I wouldn’t call it that but yeah, basically.”

Hero sighed. Her touch was like white-hot flames on Supervillain’s skin. “I don’t want to become a prison warden but I will make you shower if it’s the last thing I do.”

“Darn, guess I can’t stop you from dunking me in water.”

“If that’s what it takes, then yeah, I’ll dunk you in water.” They both chuckled.

“Look at you!” Hero bounced off Supervillain’s bed and grabbed the master inventor by the chin. “Wouldn’t you agree that you look positively stunning after a nice shower?”

“No, I think you’ll find that it’s you who is the stunning one.” Supervillain said, trying to maintain her composure as her heart screamed at Hero’s touch.

“Hmm, I do love when you say such nice things to me.” Hero smiled and stepped closer, leaning her head against Supervillain’s still wet shoulder. “Tell me what you were doing in the lab so late. Please.” She pleaded.

“Righthand’s pregnant.” Supervillain whispered.

“Righthand’s pregnant?” Hero squealed.

“She made me promise not to tell anyone.” Supervillain winced.

“Well, that still doesn’t explain what you were doing down there so late.”

“She’s going to have maternity leave sooner or later and I’ll need a helper to keep my empire running smoothly. So, I thought I might make an A.I. to be a replacement, at least a temporary one. Then I started worrying that she’d retire after realising that she’d be better off with the domestic life and that made me want to get the project done ASAP.” Supervillain rambled.

“You are so unbelievably brilliant, a certifiable genius in fact, but you have this ability to think yourself into problems that aren’t real. Righthand going on maternity leave isn’t going to topple your criminal empire in one fell swoop. If you need assistance you don’t need some fancy A.I. you can just ask me, your beautiful and amazing girlfriend for help.”

“You’d do that? But you’re a hero and I’m a villain.”

“Well, I think we’ve established by now that I’m not a very reliable hero. Dating a villain, a supervillain no less.” Hero giggled and Supervillain’s heart threatened to implode.

“Do you wanna stay the night?”

“Well, it’d be rather irresponsible of you to make me go home so late and I need to make sure you don’t scamper off to the lab again. I’ll make you breakfast in the morning, too. I just want to make sure you’re taken care of.”

“I feel guilty for making you do so much for me.”

“I do it because I care about you. It’s not like I’m indentured to you or anything.”

“Okay.” Supervillain leaned her head against Hero’s. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Supervillain. Come on, let’s get some sleep, please.”

“Well, with an offer like that how could I ever refuse?”

They chuckled and prepared for a warm night in.

When Warden Ingo says “Your turn next.” There will be taking no prisoners.

Man’s gonna snap the minute you’re done massaging him. Now that he’s gotten confirmation of your love, his engines are revved and ready to rumble. (Your touch on him has him even more pent up)

Also, relax! Sick times suck. I got COVID yesterday, so let’s be sick buddies together!

But yeah. Relax and sleep. Drink a nice smoothie or something that won’t irritate your throat. The more you take care of yourself the sooner you’ll be feeling better!

Yes! That’s probably what happens afterwards. Your massage quickly becomes an erotic massage since Ingo has less self control than you, after all that’s occurred

And thank you! I’m feeling better today (I slept for 12 hours lmao) and I think I’m back on the upswing! I hope you’re feeling a bit better as well! When I got covid, it wasn’t fun! Like you said, relax and get plenty of fluids! And stuff for your throat

(For a quick but sadly temporary relief, gargling warm salt water helps, but don’t swallow it. Other than that, hot tea with honey and lemon!!)

and i'll be here, my love // c!dream x gn!reader

word count: 1,781

summary: you finally cave in to your emotions and visit your boyfriend in prison

request?: thank you anon!! i really enjoyed this one :D

this fic takes place after dream kills/revives tommy but before quackity's visit!! also i proofread like half of it pls forgive any mistakes

---

You thought you were ready, you thought you could handle seeing him again. You really did.

Turns out you were very, very wrong.

When you turned up to Sam's place in tears, begging to be allowed to see your partner in the prison that he was in charge of, he was shocked to say the least - but even so he found himself without a reason to deny your desperate request. And so today was the day; you were going to see Dream for the first time in two months.

A lot had happened since the last time you saw him. You'd always worked alongside Dream and everybody knew that, yet he was the one who faced the severe consequences. You didn't care about the fact that he killed Tommy. In fact, you were happy about it! He deserved it. Annoying little bastard. But there was something that just didn't feel right about the thought of visiting him and it stopped you for this long, but you refused to let the thoughts get in the way any longer.

You made your way through the Nether Portal on Sam's command, shaking like a delicate autumn leaf on a windy day. You gave the creeper hybrid a forced smile as you approached him, your heart racing faster than ever and your palms clammy.

“Hi.” you greeted, and Sam smiled back sympathetically.

“Hello,” he replied, his voice plain. This is what must be known as his Warden State. “I just have a few questions to ask before we get started, is that okay?” you simply nodded in response, expecting the worst as per usual. “Alright, when was the last time you visited the prison?”

“This is my first time.”

“Where is your place of residence located?”

“I don’t, uh, I don’t really live anywhere.” you admitted with a pink tint to your face, you’d been so caught up in what was going on that you just didn’t think to build yourself a house. It’s not like you needed one, anyways.

“Mhm, okay. Do you believe the prisoner is deserving of being locked up?” well shit. How the fuck were you mean to answer this? Of course Dream didn’t deserve this! You weren’t stupid; you’d noticed how tense Sam had been around you, especially after you completely revealed yourself to be not only on Dream’s side, but his significant other, too.

“Yeah, yeah I do.” you lied. “Despite the feelings I hold towards him, the things he did are truly unforgivable and that’s why I’m here today; I need to talk things through with him.” probably the best to add that in for good measure. Sam nodded and you could see his shoulders sink a little, great - you were beginning to get on his good side, you hoped at least.

Look, it’s not like you were oblivious to the fact that you were a bad guy. If anything, you loved it, and you loved Dream! You two were a pair, and there was nothing that could come between you, not even what he did… you struggled to admit to yourself that what he did was going a little bit too far. But this must be part of some greater plan that you didn’t know of yet, it must be! Surely he wouldn’t do these things for nothing?

“And what are all your prior relations with the prisoner?”

“A friend then a lover. Perhaps an enemy - we’ll see how this goes.”

“Right. Are you willing to submit to any and all physical exams?” you nodded your head once again, aching to be in the arms of your lover once more. Even if it meant living a lie, telling everyone you’d moved on and you never wanted to speak to him again, you’d do it. For him. “Do you acknowledge that you may not bring anything into the prison with you?” “I do.”

“And do you recognise that I, Awesamdude, am the ultimate authority on the grounds and what I say goes?”

“I do.”

“Okay,” he said, dragging out the “o” as he finished scribbling down your answers in his book. He then placed another book on the lectern in front of you, asking you to read through the waiver out loud and then to sign it, which you did. Once the waiver was signed and you were ready to go, Sam instructed you to place all of your belongings in the locker to your left and you complied, trying to be as fast as possible so you could see Dream a little bit sooner.

You were then faced with many aforementioned physical examinations to make sure you were not a threat to the safety of anyone (which you weren’t) and it was finally, finally time to lower the bubbling lava surrounding the main holding cell. The cell that he was in.

You couldn’t lie, you were absolutely shitting yourself. It had been two months since you and Dream had last seen each other, and as far as you were aware he didn’t know you were visiting today. What if he was mad at you for leaving it this long? What if he’d fallen out of love with you? What if-

“Make sure you move with the bridge, okay?” your spiralling panic was thankfully interrupted by Sam and you looked up from the spot on the floor which you zoned out on, to see an awfully familiar green hoodie paired with ripped blue jeans, to see him.

And funnily enough, the segment of the stone floor you were standing on began to move. You wobbled a bit at first which panicked Sam a little, he couldn’t stand being responsible for a second death, but you regained your balance and felt the nerves rise up as you neared the cell. He was there. He was waiting.

You stepped off the platform once it reached the obsidian, waiting for the barrier to be lowered.

“Y/n?” was all he said, his eyes filling up with tears as the lava was lowered once more.

“Dream!” you exclaimed in glee, hopping over the barrier to be engulfed in his warm hug. You could feel his bones through the ripped green hoodie he was wearing and his mask was in anything but a good state, his dirty blond hair had grown out a lot and the bags beneath his eyes were more prominent than ever. You decided not to mention any of the alarming things you noticed though, taking note of the very little space and furniture he’d been living with. To think this is what he’d been dealing with while you had no idea… you felt terrible. “How have you been?”

“I’ve been okay, I’ve been okay. Decided to do a little experiment on Tommy, did you hear about it?” he asked excitedly, a genuine grin painted across his face.

“Have I? It’s been the talk of the town! Everyone fucking hates you for that, you know.” “Everyone?” “Almost everyone. The Eggpire celebrated the news and Puffy was livid about it, and acting as if I cared was more exhausting than it sounds. You did a good deed honey, you really did.” you said with an honest smile, properly looking Dream in the eyes for the first time in a long time.

His green irises stood out as always, piercing through your own e/c eyes. There was a hint of desperation in them, it was as if they were screaming at you to let him out of this absolute hellhole of a place. You couldn’t blame him, really - what did he have? A cauldron of water, a chest and a lectern with an empty book placed on it. Your heart ached for the man who stood before you, you wanted nothing more than to get him out of this horrid place.

“Great!” he said with enthusiasm in his voice - but something was off, it was more than obvious.

“Dream, love,” your eyes softened as you spoke, taking his hand in your own and gently rubbing your thumb along his knuckles. You adjusted his mask so you could see his face properly with your other hand before tracing it across a fresh scar that reached right from his eyebrow to his chin, but that was a topic for another conversation. “Tell me the truth now, how are you holding up in here?” the smile he held faltered as he looked towards the floor, the grip you had on his hand tightening ever so slightly.

“It’s not too bad, I guess. Just tiring, y’know? All I have to eat is raw potatoes and that’s the only reason Sam ever comes to visit me. I used to have a clock, too, multiple actually, I’d always throw them in the lava so he’d come and give me a new one and he’d be forced to visit me, but I’m not allowed another one now. Tommy’s come to see me a few times, but you already know that, and Sapnap’s been and he said he’d kill me and Bad’s also been and he was the only person who’s been nice to me, besides you of course, and Sam hates me and everything’s just been a mess and-”

“Shhh,” you ever so gently placed a tender finger over his lips, stopping him from spiralling. “Breathe with me, okay? You’re panicking again.” you took Dream through a few deep breaths in and out, in and out. He began to calm down and after pulling his mask over his face to hide his tears, he pulled you into the tightest hug yet. You felt him shaking beneath your touch, and you felt absolutely terrible for him.

“Say, how about I come and visit you every day? I can whip up some lame excuse so Sam doesn’t suspect anything. I’ll come here and I’ll talk to you, I’ll keep you company and we can talk through things, because I think we can agree there’s a lot we need to go through in regards to recent events. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, that sounds great. I’m so glad I get to see you again my darling.” he cupped your cheek in his hand and you placed your own palm above his hand, clasping it and placing a soft kiss on his lips beneath his broken, white mask.

“I love you, Dream, never forget that.”

You hugged one last time before calling for Sam, assuring him that you’d be back tomorrow. And you were, and again the next day, and the day after that, and so on and so forth. The love you had for Dream was endless and you were forever grateful that he trusted you enough to see him like that.
