THE WHOLE THING BETWEEN Y/N AND YANGYANG AND Y/N AND HAECHAN AND THEN JAEMIN AND RENJUN IS HILARIOUS

Ask Game for Ships

3. Who cooks? Who cleans up? Who’s banned from the kitchen?

Whenever one of them stays at each other's places in each other's dimensions to hang out or just sleep over and even in the future where I see them elope and get an apartment in one of their dimensions to live in, the workload is split evenly Mari does some things maybe the laundry, dusting and dishes during breakfast, Hobie does other housework and the dishes during dinner. I think whoever is cooking in that time of day, the other will wash up after.

Hobie isn't necessarily banned from the kitchen but I think like our other tall punk boi, he's only ever really cooked things that are easy and not too elaborate in terms of his cooking skills BUT he does learn to cook, especially Mari's favourite foods so he can cook for them like they cook for him.

17. What does a relaxing night in look like for them?

A relaxing night in for Mari and Hobie is just cuddles in bed or on the couch in one of their dimensions. Maybe listening to some music in the background while they held each other and clung onto each other, maybe watching some movies together? Or just....the comfortable silence and them just talking about each other's day if they had to do missions for the Spider Society seperately or after they had to do patrols in their respective dimensions.

Being Spider Punk and Ladybird respectively is hard and tiring and emotionally taxing sometimes...its just nice to be there for each other some nights.

30. Free space! Say something about this ship that you want to say!

AAAAAHHHH

Hobie was the first person to help Mari feel really comfortable and welcomed in the Spider Society where they first met, he stumbled into the establishment not long before she was recruited.

Mari immediately had a bad reaction to the Spiders when they immediately recognize them as an MJ variant and it made her spiral into a bad case of self identity issues because who even was MJ? No one ever calls her that and why are these Spider people crowding around her and calling them that? She isn't just some version of another person, she's their own person right???

It was really bad...

But Hobie was there, the first person to listen when he does accidentally call them MJ, he was the first to apologize for it when she explains why it hurts....and the first to offer that they restart their introductions, the first to call them by their real name, the first to give them a unique nickname just for them and because of how safe she feels, he was also the first person to see her face that day.

Flinging My Opinions Into The Feed Season Finale: Fugitive Telemetry

me: yay I finished all the murderbot diaries now I can interact with fan content without worrrying about spoilers!

also me: oh no i finished the murderbot diaries there’s no more canon content to read aaaaahhhh

i fucking love a murder mystery and this bitch’s no different. highlights under the cut but basically

The day is beautiful. Kevin R. Free. My longtime companion. Has finally, finally learned how to pronounce “holo” correctly. I hit the “go back 15 seconds” button like 5 times to make sure I heard correctly, but “hole-oh” is no more - “hall-oh” reigns supreme. give him a hand folks!!!   

(i hope this doesn’t sound too sarcastic I’m genuinely excited and I love Kevin R Free and his work and this one was bomb as always thank you Kevin)


Ratthi and Gurathin were born to be goofy sidekicks, I love it so so much. especially bc it shows that humans have social anxiety too, I never expected to relate to Gurathin this much!

usually with a murder mystery you have the old grizzled detective and the bright optimistic rookie and they have to learn to get along, but what’s great about this is that mb and indah are BOTH the old grizzled detective and BOTH see each other as the rookie

Pin Lee still owns my soul, in related news. “everyone else gets to choose whether to have a feed ID. consensually, one might say” iconic we love her

that bit about mensah buying mb drones so it can “fully interact with its environment” i’m not crying you’re crying plus mb being like “clearly this is a bribe” like no dude she wants you to have the accommodations you need bc she cares about you

it’s probably no surprise that I would die for JollyBaby. I decided this when it privately messaged mb to let it in on the inside joke, a kindness most humans don’t often think of

when mb goes up to Tellus like “you don’t have to pretend to be human around me” fuck man the allegory. lately I found out my cousin was autistic and I felt a similar emotion of “thank god, I don’t have to pretend to be neurotypical around you”

I love that when restricted to not hacking, mb’s strategy is to just go up to bots and politely ask them things. and it works! 
we’ve seen it before but it was peak quality in FT

martha wells, what exactly do you think counts as a swear in the future? drop your location i just want to talk

I don’t know if I’ll ever be over the moment when JollyBaby smashes Balin and all the bots in the area are gathered around looking at it like “we know what you are, and we know what you did.” 


its just such a powerful show of solidarity that I don’t think mb has ever experienced and shows that the bots of the station have social links same as humans and idk it just fuckin gets to me

Tural is just trying to do their job and is so much chiller around mb than indah and I love them

speaking of, indah. damn, now that’s what I call and interesting and complicated character. 


mb is always thinking 5 steps ahead about what looks suspicious and what doesn’t look suspicious and trying to avoid suspicion which makes it that much more hilarious when it acts INCREDIBLY SUSPICIOUSLY without meaning to 


I’m sure there’s more rattling around my brain somewhere, but for now I will leave you with a meme

[shinidamachu]

Eu não sei usar o Tumblr aaaaahhhh, just wanted to suggest Red from Taylor Swift in the InuKag playlist, I've been listening to it a lot and seeing similarities with their love story. Btw, I love your posts and feeling silly to speak Eng with another BR but anyway haha

Don't worry, I feel silly too. It is kind of funny, after all.

And I'd reply this in portuguese, as I often do with brazilian asks, but since you wrote the rest of the ask in english, I feel like it's important to answer it in english too, so most people can understand what we're talking about.

Thank you for your suggestion (and for the kind words). You're totally right. Red is peak Inukag song. Which solidifies my theory that every Taylor Swift love song is about Inukag.

In fact, "Taylor Swift Inukag Songs" could have been a playlist all of its own. Seriously. If I went to her discography and picked up only the Inukag fitting ones, I'd come up with a good amount of songs. Just look at all the other Inukag playlists people made. There's a Taylor Swift song in most of them and it's not always the same ones.

That's why I tried to limit myself to only a few songs: to be more diverse and not too obvious. And I still ended up with freaking seven songs, three in the Inukag Playlist, four in Kagome's. So I had to leave Red out of it, but here is how I think it fits, in excruciating details:

Red, in this case, means the feelings the color itself evokes. Love. Passion. Energy. Excitement. Fire. But we can’t ignore the fact that it’s also Inuyasha’s characteristic color and, by extention, something Kagome would have definitely associated with him.

Loving him is like Driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin Ending so suddenly

To me this represents how fast their story began and developed. They were strangers, separated by time and space. The odds of them finding each other were slim, to say the least. But from the moment they met, things just kept happening one right after the other and it might have been wild and overwhelming, however they managed to successfully catch the curveballs thrown their way. Together.

It also calls back to how Inuyasha is always running with Kagome on his back, a very meaningful part of their relationship and dynamic, in general. Faster than the wind it’s quite possible the way Kagome could describe the feeling of riding a half demon. And if there’s one thing we know for a fact Inuyasha can be, it’s passionate as sin.

Driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street sounds to me like the start of a new, very fresh and exciting relationship, that got face to face with a significant obstacle that it’s keeping it from moving forward.

Loving him is like trying to change your mind Once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright Just before they lose it all

Kagome jumped into this story both literally and figuratively. There’s the obvious jumping through the Well back and forth, but symbolically, when she decided to be all in, she was all in. Trying to keep up with her mundane responsibilities was a good effort, but there was no denying she spent the majority of her time living this story to the fullest, head first, ride or die.

There’s also the physical side of it. The times she acted impulsively in battle or threw herself into real and methaforic abysses with the unshakeable certainty Inuyasha would always be there to catch her. It’s an uncanny level of trust.

Losing him was blue like I'd never known  Missing him was dark gray, all alone

This speaks to me in the terms of those three years apart. Blue is the color of sadness. And Kagome was dressed in blue for the majority of their time separated from one another, since it’s the color of her new uniform. Losing Inuyasha was a sadness he had never known because it was a different feeling than every other time. 

Of course she had been sad before, but this pain is highlighted by the loneliness and emptiness of realizing she isn’t where she is supposed to be. That she doesn’t belong to the place she once called home, anymore. The brightest colors faded to gray. She had her family, she had her friends and still she felt alone in a crowd.

Forgetting him was like Trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red

These lyrics are the perfect continuation of the three years gap situation, but it’s also a good fit for the times she caught herself wondering if she shouldn’t just let it all go, only to find out it’s impossible. She could never forget him, no matter how hard she tried. Her home is literally placed around the spot their first met. And she sees him everywhere.

Touching him was like Realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you

“Someone the exact opposite of Inuyasha. That’s the perfect guy for me.” 

Is it now? At fisrt, he looked like the last guy on Earth she would have romantic feelings for, being totally different from the boyfriend she thought she wanted to be with.

But it turned out that, as the time passed and Kagome got to know Inuyasha to his core, she discovered he was someone even better: the kind of man she didn’t know she needed by her side.

Memorizing him was as Easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song

“Since we met, I’ve spent a lot of time with Inuyasha, too. And I’ve seen sides of Inuyasha that you’ve never seen [I know things about Inuyasha that Kikyo doesn’t?]” 

Kagome took the time to know Inuyasha, to learn everything there is to learn about him, like no one else did. She knows him like the back of her hand. And it happened so naturally, she didn’t even realize it until she was forced to think about it.

Fighting with him was like Trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer

"Inuyasha will never forget Kikyo. But I still love him, so there's nothing I can do." They had a fair share of fighting, Kikyo being the main reason of their quarrels. But in the end of the day, their differences meant nothing, because their love was stronger than any disagreement. It was worth the compromises they’d have to make along the way.

Regretting him was like Wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

"If I knew it would hurt that much... I wish I had never met him.”

But of course, the feeling only lasts until she realizes she would have actually done it all over again. The pain of a heartbreak it’s nothing compared to the pain of losing all the good memories they made together.

Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go

Echoes. As in the thing that can happen in an empty Well. After missing him for so long, it’s only logical that she would have started thinking it’s time to get on with her life. Putting her entire life on hold in hopes he will show up and steal her away is not healthy.

But moving on from him is impossible When I still see it all in my head In burning red

She tried to move on. For three years, she tried to make for herself a life that did not include him. And maybe she could have been content with it. Maybe she could be reasonably happy, eventually. But not in the way she knew she could be with him. 

Like it or not, she would forever be comparing what she had now with what she had then, her memories crystal clear. And she would have known, without a doubt, that she would have traded her best day in the future for a regular one in the past with Inuyasha.

He marked her. Changed her. Forever. There is not coming back from that.

And that's why he's spinning 'round in my head Comes back to me, burning red

Any Way The Wind Blows SPOILERS

Okay. Here are my ramblings in no particular order. Proceed if you care and/or dare. They a lot.

- I am emo shit. (I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again. Brilliant.)

- Honestly the ‘break up’ is important even though it HURTS

- Holding the wand together. I CRY. Knocking foreheads. STAP.

-The first real snowbaz conversation during the make-up. Was just …......… FAN-TAST-TIC. Just real conversation and being patient and listening. Like they were both being so SOFT and UGH!

- Fuck yes the emotional intimacy!

- The first night in bed… like simons trauma and love and how they interact and how he can’t cross the lines right away but wants to and he’s just trying to process NEVER having to ever make a decision for himself and think about his own emotions in his life. Boy thought he was never gonna grow up. He thought he was gonna be dead! UGH. He just. Can’t handle the emotions and I FUCKING RELATE!

- SNOWBAZ MAKING OUT. GIMME MORE.

- Snowbaz hunting that first time and the conversation about simons sexuality (no label!) and further talking about how Simon thought (but really never thought!) about his relationship with Agatha

- The fact Simon wanted to JUMP ON baz and never thought past that

- Simon telling baz he would let him drink him. Yup. Good boy. Good bois.

- The mutual OBSESSION they have for each other!

- NANDOS! Yes sir.

- Penny and Shepard. Penny and Shepard. Penny and Shepard.

- Penelope deserves SO much. She is such an amazing friend/family to Simon AND to baz. Ugh their LOVE for each other.

- I think Shepard is v good for her

- YES bitch get him out of that engagement!

- Shep reaching slowly for penny and then penny just moving his hand to reach her cheek. I CAN NOT!

- KISS HIM! You go Penny! GET. IT.

- SNOWBAZ MAKING OUT AT WATFORD! DO IT AGAIN!

- TEAM SOLVING PROBLEMS! YES TEAM.

- Smith smith Richards can accept my foot in his ass. I agree with Baz’s reactions. Like yes son.

- I get simons too honestly. For him as a character, as the guy that he is, ya know.

- Smith smith is a HILARIOUS and TERRIBLE name.

- LOL. What a scammer though eh?

- CULTS! Why is it ALWAYS cults these days!!!

- The whole bring the magic up and then burn it out thing smith does. Like fuck you. Why do you think your special because you made up a new spell?! Lots of people do that!

- WERK HEADMISTRESS BUNCE. YOU ARE QUEEN AND YOU ARE SMARTER THAN EVERYONE!

- Simons true nature just being protective boy to people who are assholes to him. Yes sir you are too precious.

- V interesting that rainbow gave us an open ended thing with smith. Like at least somewhat. I’m assuming the coven will be like ‘yea you are a fraud and we will not have you around people anymore’ but also she leaves it with him still being delusional and like ‘I chosen one. Uhuh dat me’ … ya fuckin’ knob. You aren’t it Smith!

- ALSO WOAH WOAH WOAH! On the MF SLY Nico (good for Fiona. Marry your angry boy. You deserve it. Whatever it is.) being like ‘you can’t be immortal only drinking animals’………………

Like obviously a lot for Simon to work through. And he and baz LITERALLY have that conversation (‘it’s too much.’ ‘It would be too much for anyone’) I REALLY appreciate that scenario as the reveal. Like Ruth already knows all the important things about Simon and now they can just be a supportive and CONSISTENT presence in his life. BAWLING IM BAWLING.

- And Simon has his sword!!!! Yes boy! You look good with it! Baz thinks you’re Hot! Because you ARE!

- THESE BOYS ARE HANDSOME! WE ALL WISH!

- Okay but also the moment it hits Simon (and baz) that he killed his father…… noooooooo. POOR THING. (Crying real tears. Crying real tears in the park reading. It’s true.)

- HE WAS NEVER YOUR FATHER SIMON! NOT REALLY!

- ROSEBUD BOY!

- Yes that is the pet name and henceforth will be the ONLY pet name! (Actually baz should keep saying love because I SWOON)

- my thoughts are Simon is gonna keep his wings.

- Like he likes them and so does baz and honestly everyone does. I actually love that every time anyone who is important to Simon thinks about him without his wings they get a bit sad about it.

- I think he’ll keep them.

- I like that they left things with the nownext like….. those Vegas vamps will probably fucking kill them, let’s not get involved. And then literally didn’t talk about it. HA. (Fair enough. Not their problem.)

- Our baby’s get normal lives now!

- HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY

- Penny and shep are getting his passport and moving to LONDON! They gone be cute cute cute together and it’s LOVELY

- SIMON AND BAZ LIVING TOGETHER FOREVER!

- MY BOYS (crying crying crying crying crying)

- He’s got an uncle! And probably/maybe cousins!? Sweet baby aaaaaahhhhhhh!

- Daphne at home again. THANK HEAVENS!

- I really enjoy that baz calls her mum. I think it’s so soft and important on so many levels because she did raise him.

- BAZ DRESSING SIMON! COME. ON.

- I CANT HANDLE ALL THIS BOYFRIEND BEHAVIOUR THAT I AM CONSUMING! IT. IS. PERFECT. I AM EATING IT UP.

- every time each of them comments on how sexy the other is.

- Simon thinking about Baz keeping his wand in a holster on his wrist. And it being dead sexy without his shirt on. FUCK. ME.

- Okay okay okay but MORE physical intimacy!!!!

- Like Clothes. Get rid of em. Don’t need em. Confident with where things are going. Check. Communicating consent and checking in. Fuck yes check. Sexy sexy sexy. Check. Kissing kissing kissing. Check. (I’m dying just about here) (get it my sons)

- What does Simon say? Just like ‘do you trust me’ ‘yes’ ‘can I touch you’ ‘yes’

- I. HAVE. DIED.

- (I’m dead)

Episode 25

Chapter Index

25-1: Fuga (1)

Arme: Stop! Let me go..!

Schau: Don't resist, Celestial. You'll hurt yourself.

Unity Order Troop: Please remain calm, Celestial!

Schau: You can be a little rougher with him. Just keep him subdued.

Unity Order Troop: Yessir..!

Arme: Why..!? Why would you do this!?

Arme: Fuga!!!

Fuga: ........

Schau: Why do you think? It's simple. You were never friends to begin with.

Schau: Am I right?

Fuga: ........

Schau: Oh, well. Just take him and go.

Unity Order Troop: Yessir..!

Arme: Fuga! FUGA!!!

Fuga: ...Don't you dare call my name.

Schau: Thank you for the intel, Rebellion's... Fuga, right?

Schau: You did good. Though it was kind of a bore to wait for your signal.

Fuga: ...Hey.

Fuga: You guys will leave Rebellion alone now, right?

Schau: Huh? Ah, sure. We wouldn't have the time for you anyway.

Fuga: ........

Schau: What? Did you need something else..? ...Oh, right.

Schau: Here you go... Your finder's fee.

Fuga: ...Huh?

Schau: It should be more than enough to live comfortably on the Surface.

Fuga: What're you talking about..?

Schau: You deceived your allies to sell us info.

Schau: Now you're planning to leave Rebellion and go live on your own, right?

Fuga: What do you mean..? I did this all for Rebellion. Why  would I need to leave them..?

Fuga: They'll understand why I had to do what I had to do...

Schau: ........

Fuga: ........

Schau: ...Hmm. Is that really how things work down here?

Schau: I guess that's none of my business. Well... bye now.  

Schau: We left a little escape route near the waterways. Feel free to use it.

Fuga: Wait...

Fuga: You, you... You made fun of me just now, didn't you..!?

Schau: Huh?

Fuga: What's with your attitude..? I don't like it, not one bit..!

Fuga: Laughing behind my back..! Looking down on me...!

Fuga: You're all the same..! Each and every one of you..!

Schau: Sorry if I'm mistaken, but...

Schau: You're not right in the head, are you?

Fuga: What..!?

Fuga: Haha... Hahahaha!!!

Schau: Wow, you're nuts.

Schau: ...I don't have time for you. We're leaving, so you just do whatever you...

[Bang]

Schau: .......!

Schau: What are you trying to pull?

Fuga: Haha! Hahahahahaha!

Fuga: Finally, you looked my way..!

Schau: What?

Fuga: Your eyes were avoiding me this whole time...

Fuga: Like you can't even stand looking in my direction..! Ahahahaha!

Schau: What are you talking about? I was looking you in the eye the whole time we talked.

Fuga: Shut up!!!

[Bang]

Schau: Trying to challenge me to a gunfight, are you? You've got some nerve.

Schau: You said I was making fun of you? ...Well, I'm not.

Schau: You're nothing but a typical Surface dweller to me.

Fuga: .......!

Schau: You betray your friends to live another day, like any other unsightly, crude wretch. It's Surface logic at its finest.

Fuga: W-what do you know..!? What do any of you sky people know!?

Schau: ...No wait, the others at least had some shred of dignity.

Schau: I guess it wouldn't be accurate to call you a typical Surface  dweller. You're the lowest kind of scum,  even in a place like this.

Fuga: Ah, ah, aaaaahhhh!!!

Fuga: I'LL KILL YOU!!!

Schau: Sure, you will.

Schau: As thanks for finding our target for us, I won't finish you off outright.

[Bang]

25-2: Fuga (2)

Libel: Huff..! Huff..!

Libel: Please be safe, guys..!

- - - -

Cura: Calm down and listen to me! Fuga killed three of our members and disappeared somewhere..!

Libel: .......!

Cura: I think he's gone off the deep end...

Cura: Sorry! He was my responsibility, I should've noticed sooner..!

Cura: We have it on record that he contacted the Ark before he left! Probably about Arme!

Libel: ...Don't tell me!

Libel: Sorry, Cura. I need to go!

Libel: Arme's in danger..!

Libel: .......! 

- - - -

Libel: Huff... huff..!

Libel: This smell..!

Libel: Fuga!

Fuga: ...Ah... Libel...

Fuga: T-that was fast. Did you run all the way back..?

Libel: W-what are these injuries..?

Fuga: I got a little heated, and had a fight with one of the Unity Order guys...

Fuga: They really are strong... People like us could never beat them...

Libel: ...Are you the only one here..?

Fuga: I handed Arme over to the Unity Order... N-now we don't have to fight the Ark anymore...

Libel: .......!

Fuga: I did it. Now Rebellion will be okay again. Ahaha...

Libel: What happened to the Forgotten? Where are Kabane, Kuon, and Konoe..?

Fuga: I killed them all... I figured they'd just get in my way, anyhow...

Libel: .......

Libel: How could you..!?

Fuga: Libel..?

Fuga: ...What's wrong?

Fuga: You should be happy...

Fuga: N-now, now you can finally go back to normal...

Libel: Do you understand what you've done, Fuga..?

Fuga: It's all your fault! Why did you have to change!?

Libel: ......!

Fuga: Don't TOUCH ME!!!

Libel: ...Stop! If you move around like that, you'll die!

Fuga: It's your fault. I looked up to you..! All this time!

Libel: Stop!

Fuga: Aaaah!!!

[Bang]

Libel: Ugh..!

Fuga: What's wrong!? You should've been able to dodge that shot!

Fuga: Hey! Fight me for real!!!

Fuga: Draw your blade, LIBEL!!!

Libel: ........

Libel: Is there no other way, Fuga?

[Clang]

Fuga: Hahaha... I should've done this from the start!

Fuga: You're not the man I admired anymore..!

Fuga: Hahahaha... So I'll just have to surpass you.

Fuga: Once I do that, I won't have to give a damn about you anymore! 

To be continued...

[forcebewitht]

Hi.! I'm anon 🥑. Im introverted and soft spoken most of the time, I'm often told I look really serious, but I can also be rather goofy and joke around. I enjoy drawing, maths, reading, skating, playing video games, watching horror movies and walking. I'm rather good at art and one of my talents is that I can adapt to things pretty easily, I'm good at following orders. I'm also diligent with my work and know how to cook. I'm looking for a partner with whom I could feel comfortable around, could share hobbies or interest with. I can offer a relationship free of judgment where I will be patient and understanding. I feel rather embarrassed of expressing my emotions verbally, so my love language would be through actions and gifts. I'd prefer someone with the same love language, but I really wouldn't mind if that wasn't the case. What makes me tick are mean people, judging others, not respecting boundaries and not taking on count other people's feelings. What keeps me going are my family and friends, my hobbies and the knowledge that I'll get a little bit better each day. My worst fear is losing everyone and everything I care about.

My life motto is "don't do to others what you wouldn't like be done to yourself". What turns me off from someone is if they are constantly bothering me even when I expressed my discomfort, or when they are extremely perverted and gross. I like people who are kind when the situation calls for it, people who know when they can joke around and when not, people who are not afraid to speak their opinion and with whom you could just hang out and not feel left out. I have social anxiety and I'm particularly afraid to speak out my mind, so I feel that a good pair for me would be someone who is the opposite. Or at least isn't as bad as me. Though honestly, as long as we can be with each other and feel comfortable, I don't really care.

Hello there, Avocado Anon! I am actually seeing two potential match ups for you, my dear Reader, so you can either take your pick or take both of them!

Your Matchups Are...

Idia Shroud:

Will you be the Player Two to his Player One? The Peach to his Mario (minus the kidnapping), the Zelda to his Link (also minus the kidnapping), or the Amy to his Sonic (way too much kidnapping at this point, find a better troupe)? Regardless, Idia had become utterly infatuated with you. You are exceedingly creative and intelligent unlike any other, yet Idia really enjoys it when you two get to gush over your passions. Idia would love to introduce you to his fellow gamers online and allow you to see just how much cooler he is there than IRL. What's that? You think he's cool IRL, too? Aaaaahhhh, I don't think he has enough HP saved up for such a remark! He gets flustered very easily, yet loves it whenever you tease him or dote on him like he's the only guy in the world. Idia loves buying whatever merchandise for a show, game, book, etc that catches your fancy. He will probably spend hours scrolling through online and searching for only the latest and greatest items for you to have. Ahhhh....no chance...no way...its too cliche...could it be, he's in love? 1Up!

Jamil Viper:

He'll show you how ssssssssnakelike he can be! Haha- just kidding. Well, maybe not totally jamil has been under the ruling of Kalim, Kalim's parents, and his own for years. He is practically begging for an outlet for himself to be allowed to show off his many talents and truly flourish. You must be fairly intelligent for Jamil to strike up an interest in you so strongly. Jamil will do whatever he so needs to (within reason, of course- can't ruin his image~) to make sure that you are loved. He wouldn't hesitate to jump up and cook for you. Jamil loves it whenever the two of you dance and sing together, and he may pester you into tagging along with him to a Basketball Club Meeting or two so you can see him in action. Jamil prefers to use words or handcrafted gifts of affection to show how much he cares. Teasing also probably isn't completely out of hand with this one, as he will enjoy a good bit of banter here and there. You are a diamond in the rough, after all~

With both of these boys, you would be able to feel free to be yourself and express your passions with them in a mindblowing way. Hope you enjoyed this, and Happy Valentine's Day! 💖

Ao3 Link

Toby descends into the Institute to find a son that's old enough to be his father, and despite that, still looks at him with a very careful sort of vulnerability as he walks with him through the pristine white laboratories, introduces him to his heads of staff, shows him orderly living quarters and serene recreational areas, looks at him sidelong like he's always waiting for Toby's reaction, like he wants him to be proud.

And there's a part of him that wants to pull his son close to him, and tell him, yeah, it's fantastic, this thing you've built, I'm proud of you, I love you.

But Toby knows what the Institute does. He's been smuggling synths out of here with the railroad for months, and they're fucking terrified, gun-shy and shaking, watching over their shoulders for the coursers that will surely, inevitably come to reclaim Institute property. and the way Shaun talks about the folks above ground - so dismissive, as though the towns and cities and communities and bonds, the buildings and the families and the love and the art that people on the surface have created, don't matter because it's not pure, not clean,and he just as much wants to grab Shaun by the shoulders and shake him, go, don't you know that I'm one of those people? That you ought to have been too? That it's beautiful up there? That in the face of all this awful fucking shit, I've found people that have, against all odds, refused to be anything but kind?

So Shaun says, "What do you think of my home? Of everything I've built here?"

And Toby says, "I'm sorry. This wasn't what I wanted for you. This place, it's beautiful, but it's not the world I'm from. It's not a world I can ever be a part of. And you can run your lungs dry justifying every awful thing I've ever seen the Institute do by saying it was a mistake, or for the greater good of mankind, but I'm sorry, kid, the mankind you've got down here isn't any better than the mankind I’ve got up there. I love you, and I am so fucking glad I’ve found you, but I can't support you with this. The things you do here - it's gotta change."

"Please," Shaun says, "Father, let me show you- the work we've done down here-"

And Toby just shakes his head, and says, "I've seen the work you've done. I’ve seen the people it's hurt. That's enough for me."

There is a hard, tight hug, and some tears, and Toby leaves the Institute with his son's permission and blessing, and in the seconds before Toby relays out, they look at each other with hard, tight eyes, and Shaun's got a look about him, stubborn and angry, and Toby, with a sinking sense of dread, thinks, that's my boy,'cause if he's a bullheaded little shit, then he got that from Toby and not a damn place else.

.

“Aw, hell,” Nick mutters, as soon as he finds it. “Guerra? Think you might wanna see this,” he calls over his shoulder to the other room of the abandoned house, where Toby and his terrifying friend had been digging through cabinets looking for unexpired food.

Eli appears in the doorway a moment before Toby does, hand already drifting to the holster at her hip. “Christ,” she says softly, as soon as she looks down, sees the baby sitting on the filthy floor at Nick’s feet, gnawing happily on its chubby fist. It’s about the fifth word he’s ever heard her say, he thinks, and definitely the one with the most feeling behind it.

“Nick?” Toby calls, as he rounds the corner, “Everything alri- Oh. Oh.”

In a moment flat he’s crouched on the floor, waving fingers at the little one’s face to catch its attention. “Hey sweetheart,” he says gently, all bright and smiling. “What are you doing alone all the way out here, huh?”

Pointless question, really. Toby knows as well as Nick does that there’s no good answers to it. Whoever the kid was with before was either dead, or ought to be dead for deciding to leave it behind.

Toby grabs it under the arms and scoops it up, tucking it snugly against his hip. It makes a hiccupping, surprised little noise, looking at Toby with wide, guileless eyes.

(He oughtn’t call the kid an it, really. Most of the humans he knows have been nice enough to do him the courtesy of a pronoun, he can at least return the favour.)

“Okay, sweetpea, it’s okay, it’s gonna be okay.” He’s talking to her in a low, sorta sing-song voice, swaying gently, and it’s right around then that Nick remembers that Toby’s got a kid. Well, it’s not as if he forgot, it’s practically the first thing the guy says to half the people they meet, I’m looking for the man who took my son. But this is the first time Nick’s looked at him and really understood what that means. ‘Cause it’s gotta be some paternal instinct, right? The way he comforts her like he’s not even thinking about what he’s doing, like it comes as easy to him as breathing.

She’s been alone long enough to be soiled, so Toby sends Eli off to look for a metal washbasin, pours some of their purified water in there, warms it over the fire for good measure. Grins when he dips her little feet in there to let her test the temperature and she starts to giggle and kick, splashing him right in the face. She seems delighted with the bath in general - Nick guesses he would be too, if he’d been waddling around in a stinking diaper for however long. (He sometimes gets - phantom memories, he supposes, of what it’s like to have a human body. Sometimes feels a strange nostalgia for the sensation of hunger, or genuine, non-battery-related exhaustion. He has never once missed the ability to excrete.)

Toby’s only got eyes for the kid, all attentive and careful as he cleans her off, and Nick finds himself making an awkward sort of eye contact with Eli, who shrugs slightly, expression as blank and unreadable as it’s ever been. She’s sat herself down cross-legged on the rug, ostensibly relaxed, but Nick’s travelled with enough mercs, knows she’s one of the smarter ones, knows how carefully she’s positioned herself, sat between Toby and the door, rifle across her lap, angled towards the open window. It had used to make Nick nervous, how careless Toby seemed, like he’d never been taught to watch his own back. Guess he gets it better now, the idea of having someone that you trust enough to watch your back for you. He feels safer these days, walking into a room full of strange humans, with Toby at his side, fending off any synth-averse sentiments with a truly aggressivedegree of cheeriness.

“Are you old enough to talk?” Toby asks, to absolutely no response from the babbling kiddo. Still, she’s clearly charmed with Toby, like just about everyone is, and she’s watching him with big, happy eyes as he chats at her. “Can you say... Toby? To-by?”

She laughs, and Toby snorts, swipes a little booger from under her nose, and Nick’s struck again by how unthinkingly he does it, like it’s just second nature to him. “Alright, maybe that’s too hard. Let’s try... Can you say aaaaahhhh?” He goes all dramatic with it, roars like a little deathclaw, and the kid laughs, delighted, and copies him, screeching with all her tiny little lungs can give.

“Awesome, sweetpea! And look at those teeth! You’ve got a whole bunch! Think you can handle some tato stew?”

She’s got no idea what he’s saying, of course, but she’s very agreeable as he lifts her out of the water and pats her dry with one of his clean shirts, dresses her as best as he can given their limited supplies.

Feeding babies is, apparently, a spectacularly messy process, but Toby seems inexplicably delighted to have half of a perfectly good meal splattered down the fronts of him and the kid.

“We’re, what, five hours from Diamond City?” Toby says, eyes not leaving the kid as he waves a spoon enticingly in front of her face, trying to coax her to open her mouth.

“Six, if we take the long way around Hangman’s Alley,” Eli says, almost making Nick jump out of his circuits. She says it real neutral-like, almost careful, makes no mention of the fact that they’d packed for a week out in the wasteland, a job for Nick’s agency, nearly halfway from here to Sanctuary, with no plans to turn back.

“Six,” Toby repeats. “Okay. We’ll catch a few hours’ sleep here, set off at dawn. Someone in the city will be able to take her in.” The kid finally takes her spoonful, only a little of it dribbling down her chin this time. There’s an odd, hard set to his face that makes Nick some weird sorta mix between nervous and sad, a kind of seriousness that doesn’t often touch Toby unless it’s something to do with Shaun, or the gal that Kellogg killed, his life before. Makes Nick almost want to rest a hand on his shoulder, say, look, she’s sweet, but you know you can’t keep her. not now, not here. she ain’t a lost mutt that you’ve found in an alley, and she can’t be what you’re looking for, not when you’re still following leads on your boy. But Toby knows that, doesn’t he? It’s why they’re heading back at dawn. Why he’s going to knock on the schoolhouse and ask around for any families that’d be able to care for a kid her age, why he’s holding her so close on his lap now, his nose and lips pressed into the dark, downy hair on her head. He knows, maybe better than any of them, what he can’t have.

.

Despite that - Toby does go back. Gets a message on his Pip Boy from Shaun, asking if he would like to visit, for coffee. They sit in a careful, studied sort of silence at the table, Toby sipping on the freshest fucking coffee he's had in 200 years and feeling conscious of the fact that he's probably leaving dust and various other wasteland detritus all over Shaun's bright fucking white chairs

"I just-" Shaun starts, shakes his head. “You're from before. When everything was pristine, when humanity was striving forwards. We're doing that, here, now, looking to the future. How can you support the people up there, stuck in the filth and ruins of the past?"

Toby leans back in his chair, sighs. "Forward isn't necessarily a straight line. Sure, back in the day, we had working air conditioning and fancy vending machines, but the way I was- the way I am- was illegal. It was an unkind fucking world, and all the shiny trinkets didn't do a whole lot to hide that people were paying a few hundred bucks a month for medication that they needed to live. Down here—you’ve got the science down, I won't deny it. Clean food and water, medication, synthetic life. The kind of shit we read comics about when I was a kid. But up there? Shaun, they've made art. You can't walk thirty feet in Diamond City without hearing someone playing guitar, there's murals on old billboards, I once met an old church choir made up entirely of ghouls. Here, you're taking care of the body, but Shaun, humanity needs a soul."

The kidbot - Toby can't bring himself to think of him as Shaun, despite the fact that he's got Toby's eyes and freckles and smile - steps into the room with something in his hands, freezes in the doorway when he sees Toby sat at the table.

"I was just-" he starts, looking back at the door like he's thinking of bolting.

"It's alright, don't mind me," Toby says softly, waving the kid in.

"What did you need, Shaun?" Shaun says. Fuck, that's going to get weird fast.

The kid shuffles his feet, something guilty about his face. "I was trying to make my remote control car go faster, but I think I broke it." He holds the little shiny red racecar up to Shaun and Toby for inspection. Toby's actually got a similar one back at the house in Sanctuary, blue paint fading to an off-green, some rust gathered around the wheels. He'd managed to fix up a little motor in it to make it go one night, and he and Hancock had spent half the night racing it against a rat. Good times.

Shaun peers over to inspect the car with a distant sort of interest, but Toby can see where the kid's gone wrong. He's always been good at that shit, fiddly little stuff to do with his hands. Besides, his dad taught him his way around a motor back when he lived out west and they had the truck, and he fixed garage doors for a while when he and Val were trying to get on their feet in Boston.

"Give it here?" He holds out a hand for the car, and the kid hands it over. It takes him a couple minutes of fiddling with the multi-tool he keeps in his coat pocket, but he returns the car with a perfectly functional suped-up battery, and the kid grins when he sets it down and sends it careening off out of the room and down the hall, says, "Hey, thanks!" and runs off after it.

The door slides closed behind him, and Toby finds that he's smiling softy after him, and when he turns back to Shaun, he's looking at him oddly. Do you think you would be capable- Shaun had asked, that first day, Of loving a synth? As though it were a human?

Toby knows he is, as surely and intimately as he knows every crack and tear along the seams of Nick Valentine's face, knows the whirring and clicking of machinery under the skin when he's lying with an ear to Nick's chest, the black metal of his spindly hand tapping an arrhythmic beat on Toby's shoulder.

"Don't you know what you've made, with synths? the Gen 3s, they have free will, they feel.They're feeling for the first time, it's incredible."

Shaun tuts dismissively. "They're just machines. They cannot feel. The Gen 3s have some errors which seem to cause them to behave... erratically. The defects, they are violent and dangerous, and cannot be allowed to roam free."

Toby raises a single, skeptical eyebrow. Shaun wilts, just a little, and Toby realizes that he's just given his son his first ever I’m not mad, just disappointedlook. What an exciting moment in his parenthood journey. "Yeah," he drawls, "so violent and dangerous that they desperately run away from the coursers that want to bring them back to be dissected, and go looking for help and shelter, usually blending in peacefully into human settlements in an effort to live a normal life and find a purpose. Real terrifying. Shaun, jesus, this is what I'm talking about. You've created people, and you have the chance to care for them, to guide them into being a person, and you're treating them like defective equipment! Up there, at least, they can find community. They can find home."

.

You’ve never personally met the General of the Minutemen.

Which, like, you get it. He’s this big important guy, right? Dragged the Minutemen out of ruin and obscurity singlehandedly, spreading goodness and justice wherever he went, and you’re just a farmhand from fuckoff nowhere. You and your folks joined up with the Minutemen because it was your best shot at protection from the local gangs of raiders and other assorted scumbags that tended to make your lives miserable, and all the righteous justice and fun uniforms and shit were just a bonus. Still, you believe in it, right? And you’re grateful. So when the radio call comes through that Garvey and the General want to retake Fort Independence, set up a big fuckoff stronghold, yeah, you want to get involved. You’re twenty-nine and pretty much the most exciting thing you’ve ever shot is a real sad looking radstag, so you’re pretty excited at the prospect of some real action.

When you roll up to the diner across the wharf from the old fort, there’s a few campfires burning all around it, sleeping rolls and tents and scattered packs, folks sitting around on upturned cars and half-rotted benches, cleaning rifles and gnawing on jerky and passing around canteens. Preston Garvey, the biggest bigshot the minutemen had before the general came along, greets you at the door of the diner with a big smile and a clap on the shoulder, tells you to make yourself comfortable, introduce yourself to your brothers in arms. apparently the general’s travelling from pretty far west, and he’d had to detour south to rendezvous with an ally of theirs, so it’d be a few days yet before they mounted the attack on the fort.

There’s folks from all over the commonwealth here, and all sorts. Salt-of-the-earth farmers like yourself, hoity-toity Diamond City types, rough mercenary-looking people, all breaking bread and listening to the radio, singing along to the same five fucking songs, and you’re right there along with them, sipping whiskey and drunkenly drawling Johnny Guitar into the shoulder of one of your comrades.

The General arrives near sunset, and if Garvey hadn’t greeted him as such, you’d never have guessed it. You’re not sure what you expected – maybe a big buff blonde guy waving the star spangled banner, maybe someone more like Preston Garvey himself, big tough freedom type – but it wasn’t the unassuming kid who pulls Garvey into a brief, warm hug, grinning wide as Garvey claps him on the shoulder. You wouldn’t put him at older than twenty-one, and he’s small, got this kinda delicate look about him, all freckles and big puppy eyes and bouncy, curly hair in a cute little ponytail at his neck. He looks soft, and you’re pretty fuckin’ sure that he’s not really the General. Like, okay, maybe he’s got the title, but it’s cause somebody’s his daddy, right? Something like that. Anyways, he’s just some ditzy, pretty kid who smiles at folks and tells them everything’s gonna be okay, and Garvey’s gotta be the real brains of the operation, the one who does all the bloody, dirty work to make it happen.

The attack is being mounted at dawn, and when y’all are gathered round for the strategy meeting, you figure Garvey will take point on explaining everything while the kid smiles and nods along. Still, he seems to have half an idea what he’s talking about as he points to things on the map of the fort, asks questions about fortifications and potential choke points, takes shit into account when Garvey or one of the other more experienced vets chimes in with an idea. It’s just weird to see, you guess. This bright-eyed, smiley kid squatted on his haunches, his pouty, round face all serious as he stares down at a war plan. Fuck’s sake, he’s still got baby fat clinging to his cheeks, he looks younger than your baby cousin.

The plan, such that it is, is not the most complicated thing you’ve ever heard. There’s a bunch of slimy monsters holed up in the fort. You and your comrades will storm the fort, and shoot the monsters. Simple enough. Some of you will be scattered around outside, taking the high ground and moving up to the turrets once the towers have been cleared, to provide ranged support and catch any little bastards who try to escape down the hillside. You’ve all got a nice little stockpile of frag mines to take care of the egg clutches. Gross. You reckon it’ll work, though.

“Gonna let y’all go to catch some sleep before we get this started tomorrow,” the General says, addressing his little crowd of soldiers as a whole. “But just wanted to say one thing, so listen up. If you find yourself shit out of luck tomorrow – if you’re cornered, run out of ammo, get too scared, too tired, too hurt to keep fighting? Run. Scram. Get the hell out of dodge. I know it’s the coward’s move, I know it doesn’t make for a good story, I know it feels like deserting. I know you probably joined the Minutemen because you believed in it, believed in what we do, and you’re willing to die an honorable death doing it – and I’ll be honored to fight and die alongside you. But in the end, that’s just a big old castle with a bunch of mirelurks crawling around in it, and that’s not worth dying for. The fort is a symbol, and in my eyes, no symbol will ever be worth more than people. I’d rather each and every one of you ran away from it screaming and lived to tell the tale, than if we managed to take the fort, but at the expense of half of you getting gutted by some overgrown crabs.”

It is the weirdest damn speech you’ve ever heard, and the weirdest part of it all is, you’re pretty damn sure he means every word of it. He’s looking around at you all like he’s trying to remember faces, nervous sort of energy to the way his fingers tap tap tap on the stained yellow paper of the map at his feet.

“Besides,” he says, smiling ruefully, and you realize that this kid’s carrying an exhaustion that’s older than the fucking war, “If y’all keep on dying, people are gonna start saying that we’re called the Minutemen on account of us managing to lose another man every minute.”

.

They keep irregular coffee dates. Fuck if Toby knows why Shaun keeps inviting him. Fuck if Toby knows why he keeps coming back. Maybe it's the same reason for both of them. Shaun is his son, and Toby loves him, wants to know him, even if he hates him half the fucking time.

The Railroad's suspicious of his intentions, and he has to smile his way into a restricted lab and bring them back some stolen synth research to convince them that he's still on their side, despite getting cozy with the Institute's director. Desdemona's angry that he won't commit to destroying the place from the inside out, but... he's talking to Shaun. It's philosophy and ethics, and even Toby's got to admit that the serene quiet of the Institute is a good place to do it, and Toby brings him little oddities he's found along the way, comics that survived the old word, photographs and holotapes, even shows him some of the sketches he's done of the folks he's met above.

Toby starts bringing toys for the kidbot. They're nothing near as shiny and pretty as the ones he's got down here, but he seems to still love the scuffed up Nuka-Cola van Toby had found in a ruined comics store, goes wide-eyed and amazed when Toby hands it to him.

.

It's a peace that wasn't meant to last, of course. Most of the Minutemen settlements at this point are informally doubling as Railroad safehouses, Dez and the rest delighted to have farms to send newly-escaped synths to, places where they're guaranteed jobs and work and purpose, and folks who will look after them and check up on them like they're family.

Preston flags him on the radio, lets him know that there's been reports of coursers at five different settlements across the Commonwealth. They're going after the escaped synths, and they're more than willing to kill any humans that get in the way.

Nick gives him a dark old look, that, "We've both seen two hundred years of the world going to shit and you and I both know this doesn't end well"look. They recall everyone to the castle, it's the most fortified place they've got, the best shot they've got at defending their people. They all arrive within a couple days, plenty of them with coursers on their tails, and Eli dispatches them with quick, clean shots, the respect that one hunter shows to another. For days, the coursers keep coming, and Toby's people are getting tired. Shaun's not responding to any of his efforts to contact him on the radio, and with grim finality, he lets Preston prepare the Minutemen and the Railroad to invade the Institute and take down the Commonwealth's boogeyman, once and for all.

It's surprisingly quick work in the end, Toby using the access Shaun gave him to relay his little army inside, and they make quick work of the synths that patrol the halls. Ss soon as alarms start blaring, all the humans in clean Institute whites panic and scram, which makes Toby's job a hell of a lot easier. Place the detonator on the central reactor, ignore the frantic ticking of his Geiger counter and the vague feeling that radiation might be making his teethbuzz.

He tells Preston to issue the evacuation order, get as many people and willing synths out as quickly as they can, and he and Nick trek up through the eerily empty halls to the director's quarters.

Shaun's in some kind of biobed, skin ashy and face gaunt, eyes half-lidded as he watches Toby step softly into the room. the kidbot's sat on the floor at the foot of the bed, curled around himself and shaking, and as soon as he sees Toby, he darts up, wraps arms tight around Toby's waist. Toby keeps a firm hand on his back, comforting as he knows how to be, in a situation like this. He meets Shaun's eyes.

I didn't want it to come to this, is what neither of them say, but both of them mean, when Toby blames him for the death and pain the Institute's wrought on the Commonwealth, when Shaun spits back that Toby is destroying his life's work. But what's done is done.

"...You'll take the boy?" Shaun asks wearily, looking at Toby's hand, still keeping the kid close to his side.

"Of course," Toby says, rough with feeling, "Yeah, of course. We're taking everybody, everyone we can get out. We'll take you, too."

Shaun shakes his head. "No. I want to rest now. I don't want to live to see the destruction of my home."

"Neither did I, but I managed, didn't I?" Toby snaps, then shakes his head. That was, well. Mean. Even for him. "You wanted progress. You wanted to move forward. You don't always get to choose the direction that goes. You don't just give upwhen you lose."

Wordlessly, Nick hefts the kid up against his hip, and Toby guides his son to a wheelchair near the bed, pushes him back down the sloping halls to the relay point, where the last party is getting ready to leave, waiting only on their General. Preston and Dez give him hard, unreadable looks when they see who he's pushing, but they've both got the good sense not to say anything, especially with Nick hovering over his shoulder and Eli quickly returning to his side.

.

Later, much later, they return to Sanctuary.

The kid wants to be called Callum. He read it in one of the comics Toby gave him. Toby had helped him to set up a bedroll and a lantern in the upstairs nook of Toby and Nick's home, had tucked him into bed wearing a soft shirt of Toby's that went down to his knees, hugging the bedraggled teddy bear he'd left the Institute with to his chest, and Callum had said, softly, "Night, Dad,"and Toby had smoothed a hand over his soft, perfect, synthetic hair, and said, "Night, kiddo."

At night, Sanctuary's strung up with lanterns and cooking fires, soft orange glows from inside the windows of the carcasses of old homes, flickering lamps in garages and driveways. It's more crowded than usual, on account of it being something of a celebration, the end of the Institute, and all. There's most of the Minutemen from across the state, the Railroad HQ, and the Institute evacuees, scientists, citizens, and synths all. Deacon and Hancock are arm wrestling, and they've drawn... quite the crowd. The Institute evacuees are slowly, surely mingling with the Commonwealth scum, who are meeting them with only minimal suspicion, and mostly good-natured heckling about the ugly white clothes. Someone's playing Johnny Guitar, obviously, and the soft strumming mixes with the gentle, constant murmur of a hundred or more voices laughing and talking and singing.

Toby finds Shaun on the outskirts of the celebration, his wheelchair parked in the dim driveway of the house that he was supposed to grow up in. Toby wonders, vaguely, if that's a coincidence. He's avoided this house, since he woke up. Maybe he's more like Shaun than he's wanted to admit. He's wanted to move forward.

Toby sits beside him on the concrete, follows Shaun's gaze to further down the block, where Preston's got an arm around Desdemona's shoulder, making some kind of triumphant speech, most likely.

"So," Toby says eventually, with a strange sort of serenity. He's got a thin layer of dust and sweat on every inch of his skin, and his fingers probably smell like battery acid from the plasma cell ammo, and his lip is still tingling from the little shock he'd gotten when he kissed the open circuitry on Nick's cheek. He's aching and stinking and exhausted, and he's never been happier. "What do you think of my home? Of everything I’ve built here?"

Shaun sighs softly, and after a long moment between them, says, "I don't know this world. but I suppose I'll have to take after you, and learn to adapt."

He stands, puts a hand on Shaun's shoulder, squeezes. "That's all I can ask for."

This is not the first time.

Not the first time they are doing it but..

"Hmnn.. Ah..!"

She roll her head back, grinding and twitching to his touch on her wet entrance. His nimble hand has been rubbing all over it, passing her bud and fondling it between his long fingers, patting it lightly but the wet sounds enough to fill the silent room.

"Mmf- S-sasuke..!"

His other hand has been squeezing her breasts, one after another. This makes her crazy, especially when he keep on sucking on her perked nipples, pinching the other, the sound from his tongue and her wet clit increased the need of him to be inside her.

"D-don't you think.. You've been teasing me so much..?"

He paused, but then again he pulled her zipper to fully expose her whole body to him. "You know..?"

"H-huh..?"

"I'm glad we are married in the future."

"Wh-what do you mea--AAAAAHHH!!!"

He plunged all of him fully inside her.

"A..ah..! Oh god..!"

Splurt!!

She came.

Her legs quiver from the sudden peak of pleasure and it took her a while to adjust to the feeling, as well as to his thing that were inserted inside to fill her walls without any preparation. Sure, she has done more before this with him but to feel something more than one sends her over the edge before she could start the sex with him.

"A..AH! S-sasuke!!"

He didn't wait for her to calm down as he has started moving in and out of her. "I'm sorry.. MC. I couldn't hold back anymore."

"Mmmh Sasuke..!"

He grunts, clenching on both sides of her waist to thrusts back and forth non-stop; his movements starts to get more and more frantic and rough until she couldn't catch up with his pace.

He really glad they get married in the future. Of course, they got to bring the warlords along to attend the wedding. It was a really memorable wedding especially when his admired warlord is there (a.k.a Ieyasu), and his Lord and best friends and..

Sasuke watches how her breasts bounces to his movements.. Ah, what a view. This is his most favorite part when they are having sex. Licking and sucking on it is very pleasureable but to see her breasts bounce so hard for him..

It arouses him more.

"Mmhh! It gets bigger..!" She moaned to his swollen dick that reaches to "Ahhnn!! Sa-sasuke..! You are reaching the baby's room..! Mmnnn are you trying to make me pregnant on our first night..??" She said that, but her eyes is full of lust--she licked her lips--she loved this kind of "play" afterall.

And everytime she does that, it aroused him MORE.

"..That's.. a foul play.. MC. Are you trying to stir me?"

She spread her legs wider, grinding to his thrusts. "We have the room to ourselves isn't it?"

A.k.a "You.. No, WE can do lots and lots of rounds until we faint".

Yes, they do.

Once again, he is glad he is married in the future. He have sponsored the lords for their rooms in the hotel and for him and MC in a royal suite FAR from those rooms or any rooms so he can have MC all to himself without any disturbance.

So he can hear her beautiful voice.

So she can sing for him.

So he can hear and crave it into his mind forever. For him and only him.

-------

Shingen smirked at the Lord of Kasugayama beside him. "Told you that I will win the bet. Now hand me your dessert, Kenshin."

"Oh no you don't, Shingen-sama..!" Before Shingen could take Kenshin's cake, he already took it from him. "But Yukiiii~~ I won the bet okay? Just spare me already ( T ʖ̯ T)~~"

"Stop using "bet" as an excuse. You know this thing will.. *blushes* happen anyway--"

Kenshin took another sip from his cup, minding his own business and ignoring every single banter from Shingen. "Ahh I'm going to bring this back to the past." He smiled as he drink it directly from the bottle of sake.

When he's done, he smirked. "Nevermind that. They have their night and we have ours. Like me, with this exquisite drink."

"Indeed it is." Mitsuhide snickered as he continue to doodle on the sleeping face of Masamune with the permanent marker that were provided for guest book.

-----

"Mmmnn Sasuke.. Ah, ah..! Sasuke..!"

They are in a sitting position now. His suits and her gown scattered all over the bed, only her with her garters on. Why? He said it was sexy and it will urge him to do more throughout the night. Suddenly she winced and he halts his thrusts. It caused her to whine from it, and continue to move by herself as she grew impatient.

"What's wrong-.. Oh."

He remembered.

They've returned to their room for the purpose of helping MC with her wounded ankle (from the high heels) but when she said to him "So.. It will be our first night huh? Hehehehe not really a first tho.." She giggled innocently. But to him, its a call to drop his "cool" demeanor and pounced her right there and then after that.

"MC.. Wait.. Unh, your ankle-" He said that but he resumes his pounding inside her. He groans in his throat, because practically he was stucked between wanting to help but also wanted to continue. The sensation around his rod is just too good, doing it once was never ENOUGH for him.

She shakes her head, whimpering from Sasuke's slow thrusts,

"I don't want to..! I don't want to wait..!"

They gave each other a smooch, again and again, moaning when Sasuke kissed her all over. "Don't mind about my ankle..! I just want you right now, Sasuke..!"

"MC..!"

"Mmmnn-"

Both of them kissed deeply, swirling their tongue with one another until Sasuke pushed her into spooning position and rammed her until the bed shake so much. She screamed to how good it was, biting on the sheets as her eyes rolled back everytime he reach again into her deepest parts.

"Hya..! Sasuke..!! Please stop- oh god..! Oh fuc- aaaaccckkk!!! If you keep on doing that I'm going to cum again..!"

SPLURT!!

"AAAAAAHHH!!!"

It's like a jolt of electricity run through her body when she came for the second time.

SHRAKKK!!!

The sheets ripped from the edge of the bed the moment Sasuke riding through her orgasm, pumping his own seed out of him, releasing it all in within her right after she came. It was too overwhelming until her body unconsciously wriggle away from him, as if wanted to escape from his deep plunge within her. "Shit..! Oh shit..!! It's coming out..! Aaaahh!! Sasuke..!!!!"

SQUIRT..!! SPLURT!!!

Another scream with a mix of moan escapes her throat as she spread her legs apart, pissing on the mattress.

"HYA...!!!"

Sasuke had grabbed her legs, and pound her dick into her pissing pussy. "Sasuke..! Don't..! I'm still-- A-AAAAAHHHH!!!"

SPLURTTTT!!!!

"GOD...!!! OH GOD!!!!"

Sasuke pulled out briefly as she pissed again. His dick throbbed to this scene in front of him, it really excite his need for her. The moment she pissed like this and moan whenever it flowed out endlessly for him, he loves the look on her face when he forcefully fuck her again and again. Such a guilty pleasure of him but he won't feel embarassed to admit he loves it when his lover squirts for him.

"Sasuke..! H-have mercy on me..! No more..!"

She hold onto the wall for support as he is fucking her into a standing position now. "Cum. Cum more for me, MC." He licked her neck, biting on it, savouring the sound of the her cum and his mixing at their connecting sex, as well as the sound of slapping skin of one another.

Ah, her moans and beggings too. He couldn't get enough of it. He peek at the transparent window next to them, licking his lips to the painted glass where MC had pissed on it before the 3rd round of sex. She had begged him to stop, but before she could fully pull out from him herself, he had pushed her onto the wall again.

"Sasuke..! You are really intending to make me pregnant aren't you..??"

"Why do you think so..? Obviously I am, because.." He leans to her ear, she had shivered when he said "You have been squirting my cum out with your piss, so I have no choice but to release more into you until you are pregnant with my child."

He growled when she clamped him so hard as he continued, "Pregnant or inflate you with my cum, as long as I can see your belly grow for me."

"Mmh.. MC..!"

SMACK

SMACK

SMACK

SPLURTTTT!!!!!!

And the circle of pissing and cumming continues. On and on until they are satisfied for their first night.

Sasuke has glowed the next day, and as for MC, she is all red when Sasuke has to bride carry her for their breakfast.

"We are still rejoicing in our 'husband and wife' first day moments." Worked on Yukimura and Mitsunari.

As for others.... They just smirk. And smile. And grin.

Except for Ieyasu who put an ear plugs before he could hear Masamune's big mouth about "First Nights 101".

Braime moments 8x04

Alright, I’ve been waiting for what happened in this episode to happen since I was eighteen and watching season three for the first time. That’s six years my dudes. So I’m not going to let the tragic ending spoil it for me. We’re gonna talk about all the little Braime moments.

1. The drinking game

- Jaime was at Brienne’s side the whole damn time from the funeral to the party and onward. He’s practically glued to her. Even his solo scene with Tyrion involved him talking about Brienne

- The way he rests his hand over hers when she lays it over her cup, as if to encourage her to let loose and have fun. But also just...that hand touch. Mirrors that scene in season three when he keeps her from pulling a knife on Roose Bolton

- The smiles. FUCK the SMILES. They are just openly grinning at each other. No boundaries at all. They are happy to have survived. They are smiling and laughing and no longer guarded as they were for most of their relationship.

- Brienne has, in general, never been this happy or dorky. Every one of Brienne’s little looks and smiles when she’s drunk. Spectacular.

- Jaime clearly remembers like...everything Brienne has ever told him because he’s able to guess things so easily during the game. Also they’re still bantering “I told you that” “no you didn’t” “I DID”. So cute.

- When Tyrion makes the “you’re a virgin” statement and Brienne becomes guarded, Jaime tries to misdirect his brother because he knows that it’s going to be a rough subject for her. He’s got hella protective instincts.

- When Tormund comes up and starts talking and Jaime rolls his eyes. Bonus, Brienne continues to be very unenthused by Tormund.

- Tormund tries to follow Brienne when she is in a vulnerable place and Jaime puts himself physically in between them. Like...in a fight, Tormund could kick his ass, but he still goes ‘not today, my dude’. And that smile and shoulder pat. That’s the most passive aggressive ‘sit the fuck down’ I’ve ever seen.

- Tyrion pouring Tormund a drink with that sassy look like ‘nice try, but you aren’t gonna get in the way of MY new ship.

The SCENE

- Jaime followed Brienne right after she left, but he obviously doesn’t immediately knock, which leads me to believe the idiot was pacing the hall nervously, having no idea what the fuck he is doing.

- When Brienne opens the door, you see a moment of panic on both of their faces. Brienne “fuck he’s at my door” Tarth and Jaime “oh god, she actually opened the door” Lannister.

- Jaime’s absolutely disaster flirting. Trying to use the drinking game as an excuse. The fact that he’s clearly tipsy and nervous. Mumbling under his breath and stuff. He doesn’t even seem to know why he’s come there, but here he is.

- Brienne having no idea what to do with this situation, because man, she never thought they’d be at this point

- Jaime finding the room hot because he is genuinely nervous. Jerking off his jacket and throwing it to the side.

- Jaime kind of sarcastically complimenting her (reverting to their old dynamic) and Brienne not taking that crap with her ‘piss off’. And yet it’s so much less aggressive than their old dynamic because they do trust each other now.

- Jaime getting closer to her with ‘I hate the fucking north’ and Brienne standing her ground.

- Jaime’s “I don’t want things growing on me” even though we see, clearly, that Brienne is growing on Jaime.

- The fucking Jaime jealousy, oh my GOD. “Is Tormund Giantsbane growing on you” and Brienne giving him a look like ‘fucking seriously. Does it look like he’s growing on me?’

- “You sound quite jealous”--even as Brienne says it, you can see she is so confused by it because, holy shit, she’s never had anyone be jealous over HER before.

- Jaime realizing that yes, he does sound jealous and then immediately saying ‘god its hot in here’. He’s such a disaster. Completely incapable of seducing anyone. What a dork.

- Jaime struggling with his shirt and Brienne getting fed up and helping him. The surprised look Jaime gives her when she does. It’s so fucking vulnerable.

- He just instinctively starts undoing her shirt as well, but stops when she stops him. Excellent.

- “What are you doing?” “Taking off your shirt” --oh my god, you’re both such disasters at this. I love you.

- The fact that Brienne stops him and for a split second he wonders if she is going to reject him and he has a very worried look on his face. But then she starts undoing her own shirt and the look turns to ‘oh fuck, we’re doing this, aren’t we?’

- How she helps him out of his shirt and they just don’t say anything. I love how much they can communicate in silence.

- “I’ve never slept with a knight before”--Jaime, you’ve only ever been with your sister, but also, the fact that you call her a knight is just fucking adorable.

- “I’ve never slept with anyone before” --Brienne emphasizing that this is a very big deal for her. They’re both standing around slightly awkwardly because they really never thought they’d get to this point.

- The kiss itself. Oh boy, I gotta talk about the kiss. First of all, I LOVE that Jaime is the one who initiates it. I also love had goddamn hungry it is. Like this man has been holding himself back from this moment and suddenly, his resistance has snapped and he’s just going for it. There’s a desperation there that really speaks to what a long slow burn this has been between them. And the fact that Brienne just immediately starts kissing him back. And his hand on the side of her face. Ugh. It’s not perfect. It’s messy. But so is their relationship, I love this moment so much.

Afterwards

- Jaime looks conflicted after they have sex, but I mean, of course he does. He loves Brienne but this is the first time he’s ever loved anyone other than his sister. And this is the beginning of him doubting if he is worthy of her.

- The fact that Jaime was going to straight up stay in the north with Brienne. That was his plan. This wasn’t a ‘rebound and leave immediately’ thing. He really was intending to stay. He even said as much to Tyrion.

- Sansa defs knows that Jaime and Brienne are together lol

- His conversation with Tyrion and Tyrion is just so fucking happy for him. Like, Jaime is expecting some sort of snide comment but Tyrion is elated that he’s with someone who isn’t his sister. And he makes tall jokes.

- The fact that Jaime tells Tyrion to, essentially, fuck off when he tries to ask crude details, because he respects Brienne

- Ser Bronn approves of his ship being canon. Also say “it must be like looking in a mirror” which emphasizes that Jaime and Cersei might be twins, but Jaime and Brienne are soul twins with twin swords. Aaaaahhhh

The Scene of Heartbreak

- Alright, I want to pretend this didn’t happen, but I’m not yet losing hope based on my interpretation so here we go. UP UNTIL Jaime heard news about Cersei in the war (which was probably after a month in the north) he had no plans to go south and was content staying with Brienne. This is important to remember. He was never using her or trying to use her as a rebound.

- Jaime’s motivation for leaving is ambiguous, but it clearly tears him apart. Also, he and Brienne were staying in the SAME ROOM and SLEEPING TOGETHER for like a MONTH and who wants to write fanfic about that? Please and thank you.

- When Jaime is going, he tries not to even look at Brienne because he does not want to see the hurt on her face. He cares about hurting her.

- How Brienne grabs his face and forces him to look and how surprised and heartbroken he looks.

- He puts a hand on hers, clinging on for a moment, very tempted to stay.

- Brienne’s vulnerability. It shows how close they have grown and got Gwen’s acting just breaks my fucking heart. She deserves better than this.

- Jaime tells Brienne his sins. For one thing, I think he does this to make her not come after him so that she will stay safe. If Cersei finds out about Brienne, she will kill her. Better Brienne stay in the north. But also, he wants Brienne to realize that he is not worthy of her. That she can do better. That he’s not a good man and he doesn’t think he deserves happiness. He thinks his only chance at redemption is death.

- I think Jaime has one of two motivations. Either he sees that Cersei might very well win and he has to stop her, or he just knows that Brienne is better off without him and that he can’t escape his old life. Both are tragic but neither lessen his love for Brienne. I don’t think he has an ‘addiction to Cersei’. He’s just so used to feeling like trash ever since he became a King’s slayer. He doesn’t know how to leave that life.

Again, I fully think leaving Brienne sobbing was a dick move, but his motivation makes sense. We’ll have to wait to see what D&D do with his arc. Either it’s in character and he dies a hero or D&D are idiots and I ignore their writing decisions and pretend Jaime never left. Still, there were so many good moments this episode, and it would be a shame not to enjoy them because of this last scene.

[summerseachild]

Because I am a glutton for punishment, I rewatched season 3.

The story so far: For those of you following along, I’ve been gearing up for watching the GoT I haven’t seen (the back half of season 5 and beyond) by rewatching the stuff I HAVE seen. It’s been... an experience. I’m coping with my fury by squeeing over the things I loved and foaming at the mouth over the things I hated. 

The finale aired between my season 2 and 3 rewatch, and I am full of snark, but everything is also hilarious.

3x01

1. GHOST IS THE GOODEST BOY. Also everyone BE NICER TO SAM. Every time I see Kit and Rose together on screen I go, “Awww they’re gonna be married.” So happy this show brought them together.

2. Ciarán Hinds as Mande Rayder was SUCH epic good casting. I want to watch all of Rome now.

3. Davos is a salty old cat with nine lives and I was SO happy to see him alive. And then he RISKS ONE OF THEM being loyal to Stannis. That’s some Ned Stark levels of honor.

4. Michael McElhatton’s voice is so amazingly creepy I love and hate it all at the same time.

5. That first scene we get with Tyrion and Tywin is A LOT. Tyrion just wants a little bit of recognition and it’s SO SAD. (Also how did Tywin have the lions put up in his office so soon? SO EXTRA.) And wtf is up with Tywin intimating that Tyrion might be a bastard? So glad they dropped that. Who ended up Lord of Casterly Rock though? DOes AnYoNE EveN CaRE?

6. Sansa and Shae playing the game with the ships is... so cute. We overly imaginative people have all had that friend like Shae who’s like WHAT IS THE POINT OF PRETENDING.

7. Ok teenage Drogon cooking his food in midair before eating it was pretty cool.

8. Is that the Stranger on the wall of the building where Margaery talks to the orphans? In the middle of the seven pointed star? It looks CREEPY.

9. The epic Queen-off between Margaery and Cersei IS ON. (For the record Cersei’s armor dress is FANTASTIC.) Also, Jack Gleeson saying “charitable” like it’s a word in a foreign language he’s never heard before is GREAT.

10. You can see the seeds of Missandei being a fantastic diplomat for Queen Daenerys. :( Also, I wonder if Jorah knows she speaks Valyrian as he watched all of this unfold...

3x02

1. I wonder if what Talisa says about how Westerosi are viewed across the narrow sea, as barbarians who smell, is accurate. It makes sense...

2. OH SHIT THEON GETTING TORTURED IS IN THIS EPISODE I WAS NOT READY

3. Latest on a List of insults Brienne puts up with from Jaime: “giant towheaded plank.” He is such a shit. And the way he SWITCHES on a dime from so obviously baiting her to being DEAD serious with the “we don’t get to choose who we love” line... so very him.

4. Sansa and the Tyrells! Those gardens are SO incredibly pretty, and Diana Rigg is SO GOOD as Olenna. May I have half her wit when I’m her age. Getting info out of Sansa on Joffrey was SMART.

5. I love that we get a sense that there are different cultures and languages North of the Wall.

6. HOLY SHIT HI MACKENZIE CROOK I FORGOT YOU WERE IN THIS YOU ADORABLE STRING BEAN.

7. Reeeeeds! Jojen and Mira were so exciting when we first met them...

8. BROTHERHOOOOOD Without Banners SO COOL. And underused.

9. Jaime and Brienne are AT A BRIDGE and NOTHING IS OK enjoy the hand while you have it ,Jaime my love.

3x03

1. Lannister family musical chairs is SO GREAT and Tyrion and Cersei have SUCH BITCHY FACES AT EACH OTHER.

2. They tell Chuck Norris jokes about Brynden the Blackfish, don’t they.

3. Stannis: Men have been trying to kill me for years. Me: Well maybe they need to send a WOMAN TO DO IT. (yeeeeaaaaah Brienne)

4. Dany is a woman with a plan and watching Jorah and Ser Barristan freak out about her possibly giving up one of her dragons is kind of funny.

5. I had forgotten how COMMITTED Ramsay is to his “helping Theon” ruse.” Fuuuuuck.

6. Jaime losing his hand DOES NOT GET ANY EASIER TO WATCH.

3x04

1. Jaime Lannister and the No Good Very Bad Deathwish huuuurts meee. It’s so good Brienne was around.

2. Varys and the sorcerer in a box.... SO CREEPY. Do we ever get resolution on that?? Anyway it made me flat out terrified of the implacability of Varys’ revenge at the time, and Conleth Hill PLAYS IT.

3. The Sept is SO PRETTY way to go CGI folks. That whole scene is just GORGEOUS with the light framing Margaery and Joffrey and Cersei moving in and out of shadow...

4. Theon’s “all he had to do was be” re: Robb hit me RIGHT IN THE FEELS also wow show Theon was really Gay For Robb and you will not convince me otherwise. (Watching him pour his heart out to Ramsay makes me physically ill... whYyYYy am I sober...)

5. I still maintain that show Brienne is WAAAAAY meaner than book Brienne about Jaime’s “leave me alone I’m dying” phase in ways that are really out of character and I HATE IT. Also losing a HAND is not “a little bit of misfortune.” And SHE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT.

6. Cersei being like “I’ve been listening more than your sons” to Tywin. And Tywin being an ASSHOLE in response instead of FUCKING TELLING HER HOW TO DO BETTER with Joffrey makes me so angry.

7. “If Robb Stark falls Sansa Stark is the key to the North” YOU DON’T SAY VARYS

8. I am... sadder than I remember being about Jeor Mormont dying.

9. I. Like. Anguy. What HAPPENED to him? Also Beric is... intense, but I love him. (And Thoros was IN THE KEEP the day the baby Targaryens died?)

10. And ARYA GETTING TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT MYCAH TO ADULTS WHO LISTEN YES GOOD.

11. Dany hands that Dragon over COOL AS A CUCUMBER WHAT A QUEEN and theN the reveal that she SPEAKS FLUENT VALYRIAN AND DRACARYS AND I THINK I LOVE HER EVEN MORE OUT OF SPITE THIS TIME

3x05

1. Sandor Clegane trying to CHOP HIS OWN WOODEN SHIELD OFF HIS ARM because it’s on fire... wow. That whole scene is IMPRESSIVE. That was a fight that was TRIGGERY AS FUCK for him with all the fire and he still came out on top.

2. This is the episode where Jon and Jaime both get baths! Jon’s was a lot more fun. He got to have sex first. Jaime’s is preceded by being like “take any more of my arm than you have to and die” to Qyburn and a lot of screaming.

3. I CAN BE YOUR FAMILY ALSHAKDHSAG I AM SO ANGRY ARYA AND GENDRY DON’T END UP IN THE SAME PLACE. IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE SCHMOOPY IT JUST NEEDED TO BE TOGETHER.

4. Every time I see Catelyn looking empty and far away in these scenes I see the Lady Stoneheart that could have been.

5. ROBB DON’T TRY TO BE YOUR DAD LISTEN TO YOUR MOM AND WIFE AND UNCLE. UGH RICHARD’S ACTING IN THAT EXECUTION SCENE THOUGH IT HURTS ME.

6. Beric Dondarion’s voice is amazing. I’m noticing voices more this time around...

7. Shireen Baratheon! What a precious little Princess! Her friendship with Davos is the best thing ever and SHE DESERVED BETTER.

8. Jaime and Brienne in the bath is funny when Jaime’s a shit until it gets very very serious and everything hurts and both of them are better actors than this show deserved. Jaime remembering URGING AERYS TO SURRENDER PEACEFULLY MAKES WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END HURT. He... hasn’t told that story to many people in its entirety and aaaaahhhh my feelings and him telling Brienne MY NAME IS JAIME I CANNOT WITH THEM.

9. Grey Worm is so handsome, and the more I see of Jacob Anderson in the behind the scenes stuff the more awesome he gets.

10. Ugh Cersei my love don’t be so smug about Tyrion and Sansa (Also Tyrion BRINGING UP TYSHA HOLY SHIT I FORGOT) Cersei and Tyrion both look so miserable at the end of that scene I just want to FUCKING THROTTLE TYWIN. Which is how I felt in the books here so KUDOS TO ALL INVOLVED.

3x06

1. I LOVE that we get to hear the Faith of the Seven’s version of “Jesus loves me” and I love that it’s Sam who sings it.

2. Meera holding Jojen while he has his vision/seizure like she’s done it a thousand times before... so sweet. I love that taking care of those who need it is just... part of who she is, and we need more people who are caring AND badass.

3. I forgot that Arya got an archery lesson from Anguy and I love it.

4. Melisandre being like WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU RAISED BERIC SIX TIMES to Thoros is great. Who knows what any of that means now but in the moment wow. Also WTF I FORGOT THEY GAVE GENDRY TO MELISANDRE

5. Ygritte asking Jon if he’s staring at her ass while climbing is so great. Way to know how good you look, girl!

6. Everyone at Riverrun: GROW UP EDMURE.

7. Jaime Being like BRIENNE DO NOT STAB BOLTON I GOT THIS = friendship goals

8. Cersei and Tyrion talking about their impending miserable marriages and not being entirely awful to each other gives me a bit of joy even as I weep for all of them.

9. I laughed for a long time at Varys line calling the Iron Throne “The Lysa Arryn of chairs.”

10. That last shot of Jon and Ygritte kissing is SO PRETTY. Everything at the top of the wall is, really.

3x07: GET BEHIND ME WENCH DON’T YOU SEE THE BEAR

1. Oh GRRM wrote this one. Cool.

2. Brynden Tully calling Walder Frey a wet shit is delightful. I love him so.

3. Do we ever find out if Talisa was telling the truth about writing to her mother? Or any sort of mention of her again since she’s nobility in Volantis and it might be a thing that she got murdered? No?

4. TORMUND TALKING ABOUT FOREPLAY IS HYSTERICAL HE IS THE BOYFRIEND BRIENNE DESERVES

5. Protective Dragons are Protective

6. Please TAKE OUR SHIP AND OUR GOLD AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF ESSOS: the Yunkai emissary, basically.

7. Poor Gendry. What a way to find out your dad was King Robert... Melisandre has a flair for the dramatic.

8. Jaime is bad at goodbyes especially when Brienne called him Ser Jaime instead of Kingslayer.

9. Ygritte threatening to blacken Jon’s eye if he tears her hypothetical silk dress.. THIS is how you write a badass girl who also likes pretty things.

10. Jaime jumping into that ring and continuing to throw his influence around for Brienne... yes good. He’s lucky that bear didn’t get his FOOT TOO though. And that last “Sorry about the Sapphires” to Locke as he’s leaving.... he just can’t help himself he HAS TO POKE PEOPLE VERBALLY EVEN WHEN IT’S DANGEROUS.

3x08: the One with the Other Other Wedding

1. Travels with Sandor and Arya is such a good show.

2. Davos trying to read is SO CUTE. And Stannis coming to Davos for advice and free him says a lot about a Stannis’ character at this point in the show.

3. Hey! It’s the first Daario!

4. Tyrion tried so hard to be kind. I’m glad he and Sansa seem to end on good terms.

5. Cersei being like “I see how you are trying to be my friend and I want NONE OF IT” to Margaery and then telling the story of house Reyne is a power move.

6. Joffrey moving Tyrion’s step stool at the wedding  was a DICK MOVE but I love the look Tywin gives people who are laughing. (And Tyrion And Sansa making the best of a bad situation and Sansa weakly smiling at him when he makes the the joke about the wine before the ceremony is sweet)

7. NOBODY CARES WHAT YOUR FATHER ONCE TOLD YOU YES CERSEI MY QUEEN 👑

8. Tyrion pretending to be drunker than he was to get him and Sansa out of that room and away from Joffrey and the bedding ceremony is SO SAD but smart.

9. Sam cooing and fussing over that baby is the sweetest thing ever.

10. SAM KILLING THAT WHITE WALKER IS LIKE NEVILLE KILLING NAGINI CHANGE MY MIND WAIT YOU CANNOT HE’S SO BRAVE AND I LOVE HIM

3x09: The Rains of MY TEARS ABOUT THE RED WEDDING

I have a RUM and coke ready to go let’s do this

1. Robb asking Catelyn’s advice after he didn’t listen toher about Theon and the Ironborn :...(

2. Those POOR FREY GIRLS are they ok? I hope Arya didn’t kill any of them since they didn’t ask to be Walder the Worst’s daughters and granddaughters.

3. Grey Worm stepping into a leadership role ❤️

4. So... was Castle Black abandoned at the END of Jahaerys’ reign? I feel like the castles were mostly manned at the beginning of his reign? Gotta check on that.

5. In which Jon and Arya are both concerned about innocent small folk.

6. I FORGOT HOW CLOSE ARYA GETS TO THE TWINS

7. I ALSO FORGOT HOW CLOSE BRAN AND RICKON GOT TO JON. And... So much warging and direwolf action!

8. Daario Grey Worm And Jorah make a badass team gotta say.

9. HOLY SHIT MY WIFE JUST POINTED OUT THAT ROSLIN IS ANNE FROM THE MUSKETEERS. I knew I loved that face in a way I hadn’t before when she took off that veil!

10. Byyyyyyeeee Shaggy and Rickon and Osha!

11. Robb and Talisa decided to name the baby Eddard  right before shit went down and I am NOT OK.

12. Fuck me that song HERE WE GO FOLKS.

13. Ugh Catelyn figured out what was about to happen right before. I had forgotten that. All the things that weren’t ok any of the other times are still not ok.

14. GREYWIND NO and now the crying

15. Catelyn with her knife to that Frey girl’s throat is so desperately sad Michelle Fairley BROUGHT IT and I hate everything

3x10: Of Course I’m watching this right after the Red Wedding what do you suggest I do instead? Sit on the couch and cry? (Because that’s definitely what I was gonna do if I didn’t start the next one.)

1. I never noticed Sandor picking up the FREY banner very intentionally smart man. Which I am choosing to focus on because...

2. if I never see Robb’s body with Greywind’s head again it will be too soon.

3. Tyrion and Sansa talking about how to get back at people who laugh at them like they’re friends ❤️❤️❤️

4. Any man who must say I am the king is no true king TELL IT LIKE IT IS TYWIN.

5. Tywin: 1 Joffrey: -15 I’ve been waiting for that throwdown for a while now.

6. Tywin really believes what he’s saying about putting family first. And that STORY ABOUT NEARLY DROWNING TYRION OMG.

7. Ugh Sansa knooooows about the RW and Tyrion just walks away because he’s the last “family” she wants to see.

8. Scary stories at the Night Fort! Like the Rat King... Bran’s a good ghost story teller.

9. WHAT A TRANSITION TO WALDER FREY after all that talk of guest right

10. Can’t wait for dogs to eat Ramsay because Theon’s pleas to be killed turns my stomach and make me see red all at once LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU BASTARD

11. Oh jeez this is where we get the Reek thing in the show. Theon says his own name twice before Ramsay hurts him enough he calls himself Reek and Alfie is SO GOOD I HATE IT

12. Oh right Sam & Co are in the Nightfort too!

13. Yarra not being ok with Balon abandoning Theon GIVES ME LIFE. She’s just so disgusted with her dad AS SHE SHOULD BE.

14. Greyjoys DO NOT DO AS THEY ARE TOLD and I love Yarra.

15. Don’t talk too much shit about highborns Gendry You’re gonna be one.

16. Varys and Shae talking is SO INTERESTING. I... think Varys has some points, and I think she should have listened, taken the diamonds, and peaced out of King’s Landing.

17. That Cersei and Tyrion scene where they talk about her children keeping her alive HURTS MY SOUL SO MUCH.

18. Arya stabbing the fuck out of that Frey bragging about sewing Greywind’s head on gives me SO MUCH SATISFACTION. Also Sandor being like “TELL ME next time we’re gonna do murder, ok kid?” Is THE BEST.

19. I love that Davos is the one we get to see reading the letter Maester Aemon writes.

20. DAVOS MAKES A CHOICE AND IT’S THE RIGHT ONE. Do you know how to swim?? No. ... Don’t fall out. 😂

21. Jaime is hoooooome in King’s Lannister and I have Lannister feels spilling ALL OVER THE PLACE.

22. Oh right and Dany has a whole bunch of people calling her mom in whatever variety of Valyrian they speak in Yunkai. That was a thing.

Chandelure, Victini, Giratina, Uxie, Latias!

OMG FIRST ASK!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! *(^O^)*

Okay, first of all, I’m so sorry for answering so late. Secondly, I should’ve told you beforehand that my Pokemon experience and knowledge are actually very low, because I never play any Pokemon nintendo games (the only games I ever played are PoGo and Magikarp Jump) because I don’t have nintendo. But I’ll try to answer your ask anyway? XD

Chandelure: What Pokemon do you find the creepiest?

The first Pokemon that crossed my mind is Drifloon. I watched a haunted school scene from… I think it’s an Ultra Moon LP CMIIW and the ending creeped me out. Then about months later, the gen 4 Pokemon was released in PoGo. After I caught Drifloon, I remembered that scene and immediately looked for Drifloon PokeDex, and…Oh my god. It’s real. ;~;Even when I almost didn’t remember how the haunted school scene ends, that creepy child-soul-taker balloon impression still lingers.

Victini: What battle will you never forget, either in game or in the anime (or both)?

In anime, there’s a battle in Sun and Moon when Mimikyu used his first Z-move and omg, I’d been waiting for it for so long and that’s amazing. XDAlthough I honestly kinda felt sour when seeing the ending and I still am.

In game… I don’t think there’s any battle memorable to me.There’s something that I like in PoGo–not exactly a battle, but it’s Great League training with Blanche.The funny thing about training with Blanche in Great League is that her first Pokemon that she called is Magikarp. I once trained with a team of 3 flippin’ Magikarps and it took almost my 2 Magikarps to beat one. It almost straight 3 minute of Magikarps splashing each other. Then somehow the game started the 20-sec countdown, probably out of boredom. XD

Giratina: What makes you the most angry in Pokemon?

I… rarely (if ever) angry because of Pokemon. But there was an annoying thing in PoGo (the older version though, but I still never forget it) when like literally every gym were dominated by one or all of these: Blissey, Snorlax, Dragonite, Gyarados, Rhydon.

If you don’t have one of those Pokemon, don’t even try to ever take down the gym. It’ll waste your time. And even if the gym is ruled by your team, it’s still unlikely to place your Pokemon because it’s always full of those giants. It’s almost like… why did this gym system even exist?

The gym system nowadays is much less annoying because the Pokemon’s CP would decrease the longer said Pokemon stays in the gym.

Also every time I was so close to defeating a Raid Boss single-handedly and somehow the internet decided to end the battle prematurely drive me nuts.

Uxie: What is something you wish would be added to the games?

Oof, this is a hard question. I can’t find a good one even for PoGo.

Well, for sure I want gen 7 to be released in PoGo ASAP. XD

Also, I want to pet Pokemon in PoGo. :OOr at least I want the Pokemon’s movement is more synchronized with their voice. It’s weird to see Snorlax doing a long yawn movement, but its sound is just a short *bwaep*. :/

Oh, maybe a tag team battle and/or battle royal for PoGo?Because until now, the only way to play with more than two players at once is through raid battles and it only happens at certain time. With tag team or battle royal mode, not only four player (and maybe more) can play in one arena, you can play it together literally anytime and anywhere!

Latias: What Pokemon do you wish you could have in real life?

Aaaaahhhh!!!! I have so many favs!!! :O

Some Pokemon that crossed my mind are Pyukumuku, Mimikyu, Skitty, Togepi (+Togekiss), Jigglypuff, Bulbasaur, Magikarp, Togedemaru, Dedenne, Swinub, Chimecho, and… I don’t remember what else XD.

But in real life, I think I only can handle Togepi because as far as I know, Togepi is the most… harmless in my list above. And I might even have to give Togepi everstone because I can’t handle the giant bird called Togekiss. DX

Or maybe a Magikarp with everstone, because at least I have experience in breeding tilapia.

Yet I still would say that I rather have digital Pokemon than having real-life Pokemon and seeing them die. :’(

Also, thanks for asking! I might have to find a way to play other Pokemon games with PC or… something other than nintendo. XD

[moonraccoon-exe]

You’re adorable and literally one of my favourite blogs. You’re always so happy and kind and nice and that’s why I always look forward to another post from you. Keep being amazing. You’re incredible 🐙🌙

*CLUTCHES CHEST*

OH MY GAWD, OMG AAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGH MY HEART

*COLLAPSES*

*moonraccoon.exe has stopped working and needs a very long while to be able to reboot pls standby*

OH MY GOD. HOLY MOOGLES ABOVE IN THE CRYSTAL REALM. H-HOW….H-HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO REPLY TO THIS…!??!?! ;_____;

Oh nooooo, dear anon, what have you done!? What are you doing, oh no, my heart is so full that- it’s flooding and it’s…shattering and it’s breaking and…oh no, I’m so weak, my emotions are all over the place and they fill my heart so much that it hurts… (ﾉД`) /3

Oh no, dear anon… :’( 

It’s serious. I’m so touched that I really don’t know very well what to say, and I’m sitting here like an emotional little bal of fluff. Hnnhngnhg…my heart is really so full right now, a-aah… ;A;

I…well, thank you, above everything else I have to say. There’s no way I can let you know how much I mean it and how much weight I want to put on it when I say it, just really…thank you. Wholeheartedly. Thank you :’(

*sigh*

Dear anon, what do you expect me to say? Normally I would write a lot of ADSAKLGJA and exploding things, but really this was a little beyond that. Because yes, it filled my heart, but it was so much, I’m in awe and speechless and overwhelmed in a good way and I JUST HNHGFH I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY AND I’M FREAKING OUT AND I *HYPERVENTILATEs* ASKLJDF GKLDAJKL A LKADFJ

adorbs….~ it meeeeeeeee *squeeeeeeaaaaaaakkk* (/▽＼*)♡♡♡

Thank you so much for saying such a cute thing about me, aklsdjaklgj aaahhhh :’3

And saying I’m one of your favorite blogs, that really, really has no way I can react. NO EACTION KALSJDKALDGJALKDGJADG, that’s like, such a huge and inncredible compliment for me because…I don’t know, I often spam and, or aklsjdaklgj say some silly things, and there’s so many incredible and amazing blogs out there with phenomenal artists and mindblowing authors, and I feel sorta little in comparison (not bad or unimportant, just not THAT popular/skilled/good), so that you say that I’m one of your favorite blogs…?

Wow. Pfft. Mindblow for me and really a reason to leave me feeling so…hnjhgfnhjg, idk, with the heart full and flooding, and so happy, and so surprised?? Hngnhghg, I don’t know, I know I always overreact a little, but that’s me and how I feel. It really means a lot to me that you say that. Really.

I spend all my free time here and put lots of time and energy into it, so I’m happy that people are enjoying…and of course, happier to know it’s someone favorite..AH, MY HEART!!! :’3♡

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’m happy to know that you like my mess of a virtual home. Thank you for liking it, thank you for saying such nice things about it. I hope it continues to be the cozy and safe place that I’ve always meant for it to be. ♡

A-aaahhh….oh no, I’m a blushing mess right now, and I feel even shier and so praised and loved hgnhnfnhg :’’3 It’s just…thank you as well for saying that I’m always happy, kind, and nice. Those are such cute and positive and very nice compliments, and it’s so sweet of you to say that and I’m…hnhgnhg. So touched, I don’t know what to say OH NO MAXIMUM SHYNESS MODE,A CTIVATE

*is still rolling on the ground*

A-aah…thank you so…so very much, my friend. Thank you. It really- touches my little raccoonie heart and makes me happy that you think and say so. Those are such cute traitss and it makes me feel touched that you see them in me…hnhgnhg, aaah…. :’3 

I’m not always that happy, and I’m sorry if you have stumbled upon a sad or negative post, buddy. I mean, sorry if you don’t like them, that is! I have this…philosophy, that even being sad in my blog is positive, because it talks about trust, you know? Like…when you guys send me a sad ask, or when I share something sad on my side, we’re opening up to each other, and it’s not that we’re negative, we’ve just dropped our happy sides and we need some company and kind hugs to get it back. That’s how I like to see the sad asks or posts here, like something shared between friends that support each other. So yeah…not always happy, but always positive, and hoping that that’s okay with you ♡

Thank you so much for the things you said, really. I’m…flattered and touched. Hnngnhg…I really…don’t know what to say. My face is burning and I’m here in full shyness mode, so don’t mind my awkwardness aksjdakldjgalkdgjadka .////.

Omg, dear anon, dear buddy, my friend, noooooooooooooooooo, I DON’T KNOW HOW TO SAY THANK YOU!!!! ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)*ﾟﾟ･｡

Oh no, see whta I mean with how this ask really fills my heart to the point it shatters? Ahah, aaah, it’s so...wholesome and so beautiful, aklsdjlkdagja, what do you expect me to say? ;___;

*CLINGS TO YOUR HEAD*

THANK YOU. Truly, really...thank you so much. Wholeheartedly and dearly. All you’ve said about me, oh  my god, there’s no way I can say thanks enough.

Thank you for taking the time to write to me, in the first place. IT’s easy to think nicely about someone, but it takes effort and time to actually tell them. Thank you so dearly for your effort and time just to let me know all this. It’s wonderful, truly...and it talks of such a good and kind and nice heart in you. To take some time just to tell someone what you think of them and make them feel loved, that’s not something you see daily. I’ve- I’m...amazingly blessed by all stars and sometimes people do it every now and then, I admit. But it’s not everyone, it’s not daily, and still, no matter how much I see it, it doesn’t lose its magic. Indeed, each time it’s only more magical, because I’m blown away that there’s good and beautiful people like you that don’t want more than to tell someone nice things of themselves.

You truly did something immensely sweet and kind and I don’t know how to say thanks properly or enough. Thank you for everything, thank you for this most wonderful ask, my dear friend. I mean it, and I say it from deep within… :’)

I don’t know you, but I just need to read you and see all the effort and intention you put into this and that already talks about someone kind, with a very warm heart, welcoming, and very nice and sweet. So I mean it too when I say, you keep being a phenomenal, fantastic creature. Keep up that good heart and all the sweetness.

You too keep being awesome. You too keep being incredible. ❤

Dear friend, I feel I stay short in words, but I don’t know what else to say. Just thank you. So very sincerely and immensely thank you. Do receive lots of raccoonie hugs, and may the stars give you twice as you’ve given me. (ɔˆ⌣(ˆ⌣ˆc)

By the way, the emojis of the octopus and the moon made me SO HAPPY LIKE ZOMG, I FELT LIKE A CHILD IN CHRISTMAS FULL OF LIGHTS AND HAPPY THINGS AND COLORS EVERYWHERE FOR SOME REASON, THEY’RE JUST- SUCH ADORABLE, ABSURDLY CUTE, HAPPY EMOJIS, I CAN’T KALSJDKLADG JKLDAJGALKFJADLGJ

Look at them. Happy lil octopus and colorful cute moonie. ASKDADGJ, WHY DO THEY MAKE ME THIS  ABSURDLY HAPPY!?!?!? ( ´ ▽ ` ).｡ｏ♡

Is that you the octopus and it me the moon? Or are you both? Is that your signature? DO YOU WANT A NAME

Octopus in spanish is pulpo and Pulpy sounds cute, but in english it sounds like pulp aahh :’(

DO YOU WANT A NAME THOUGH?!

You could choose one yourself! Or only keep the adorbs octopus as your signature, that would work too, I just don’t know what to call you ahaha, but that’s okay. Names ain’t as important as presences themselves, and I’m happy and blessed enough with your presence here, buddy. So no worries. I’m just curious on the ADORBS octopus and moonie

ANYWAYS BUDDY

Sorry it took me so many days to reply, and sorry I can’t find a way to say thanks enough!

Lotsa hugs and magical vibes your way. (˙︶˙)

I hope you’re having a MOST FANTASTIC day or night!!! (ﾉ´ヮ`)ﾉ

Full Metal Alchemist Netflix!!! (spoilers ahead)

okay so yeah I’m not sure how they are gonna condense FMA into a successful movie and while there are probably going to be a lot of missing people/plotlines I am so psyched I don’t even care that.  I’m just gonna enjoy the good stuff and shrug at the rest.  here goes nothing:

-me, during the opening scene:  *fully expecting the Hogwarts Express to appear any second, with a flying Ford Anglia in its wake*

-this is a very crisply colored film so far and I love it

-MY BBY BOYS!!! HUGGING THEIR MOM!!! *valiantly tries not to cry already*

-yeah no I’m crying already

-dark and gloomy funeral OMG Ed and Al are holding hands to support each other I CAN’T

-LIL ALCHEMISTS AT WORK!

-I’m happy to see that Edward Elric is just as outrageously fashionable as always, that red coat is on POINT

-Ed stop getting your butt kicked and do some alchemy

-oh yeah, Ed proceeds to perform alchemy without a circle and takes out...whatever those alchemy critters are AND THERE IS AL MY SON THE SOUL IN THE SUIT OF ARMOR

-AWWW my brother may be small but he has a big heart

-So I’m not sure why Winry isn’t a blonde but she is still very cute

-ED IS SO PASSIONATE AND SAD WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT GETTING AL’S BODY BACK :( and when he says he would do anything for Al and the camera focuses on Riza who looks like she could very well be saying I understand I would do anything for Mustang

-ROYAI ROYAI JUST HUG HIM GIRL OH GOSH THE LOOK BETWEEN THE TWO

-”get promoted and expose the truth behind the mystery” look is the Fuhrer a thing, like Greed never showed up, if they are doing a sequel they have stuff to work with but it so far off the original storyline at this point

-ED AND AL AND WINRY ARE THE CUTEST

-BYE BYE HOGWART’S EXPRESS

Excitement Extraction

Finally! This is a fic based on the prompt:  “Umm for a prompt, how about a 4 against 1 on Thomas? Like, maybe he was getting frustrated with something and he snaps at them, so they cheer him up and get revenge?” - HappyAnon.

This took me a couple days to write. Marching Band has been really hefty. I might take a three day hiatus from writing fics because I’m tired out. But I’ll be back hopefully by saturday.

Without further ado please enjoy:

Excitement Extraction

(Ships): None

Words ~ 1,974 ~

It had been three days since Thomas had last called upon his sides for help. The human sat in the kitchen on his phone, elbow to the table and hand on his cheek. Melancholy would be the best word to describe Thomas at the moment. Not really happy, not really sad, just extremely lethargic and unproductive.

Logan had noticed this much before any of the other sides. His thought process became jumbled after the first day, unabling him to do much work. He tolerated longer than he would have because he concluded that Thomas just needed some space, but after two more days of this he had had enough.

“Thomas.” Logan popped up with his arms folded, obviously in a very irritated mood. “Please. Engage your brain,” He motioned to himself as he said this. “So I can be rid of this so called...funk.” He picked out a vocab card for the last word to make sure he used it right.

“Yeah sure whatever.” Thomas whisked the logical trait off by mentally pushing him back down into the mind space.

“Hey! Wai-” But he was already gone, out of earshot for the human to hear anymore of his pleas. Thomas knew Logan had went and complained to the others, because not a moment later Roman appeared in the same place.

“Excuse you! I am about as irritated as Logan right now and I-”

“Yeah yeah sure. That’s great Princey.” With that the human, pushed the aspect in the same manner as Logan, clearly being ignorant of anything the fanciful aspect had to say.

Next to show up was Patton. “Heya kiddo. You’ve been distant lately? Are you...avoiding us?” Patton looked at his feet then back up at his human. Thomas groaned in response.

“No Patton, I just don’t want to be bothered right now. Nothing against you or any of the others. Please just go away.”

“But kiddo-” Morality tried to reach out only to have Thomas shoot him down.

“Don’t kiddo me and just sink down or Ill push you down like the others.” Thomas didn't look up from his phone at all, so he did not see the heartbroken, pouty face the dad trait gave as he sank down slowly.

For five more minutes it was quiet. Thomas sighed in relief as he thought the others had learned their lessons. He did not see the black figure slowly rising from behind him.

“THOMAS!!” A voice yelled in his ear causing the human to jump and fall out of his chair.

“AAAAAHHHH!!” He whipped his head toward the source of the voice, in enough time to see Virgil hopping on top of the table and swiping Thomas’s discarded phone.

“Thats enough of that.” Virgil huffed as he sat criss-cross applesauce on top of the table and peered down at Thomas from his perch. “Start talking.” He looked at his human sternly and shoved the phone in his pocket.

Thomas shook his head as he rose to his feet and sat back down. “Please Virgil...I just...I don’t want to talk to anyone, let alone myself.”

“I know. I’ve noticed. How do you think I feel when you keep pulling me into your videos? We are talking whether you like it or not. You owe me that much.”

Thomas sighed as he got up off the floor and sat back in the chair he was previously in.

“Look...I enjoy talking to you guys...but I need my peace and quiet too.”

“You got your peace and quiet! For three whole days we left you alone! Do you know how worried Patton has been? Or how restless Roman was? Even Logan couldn’t keep himself together! You’ve just been sitting around doing nothing! I can’t even do my job! What's the deal dude?! Do you hate us or something?!” Virgil accused feeling betrayed.

“No! No...its just-” Thomas quieted as he felt a set of hands carefully place themselves on his back lovingly. Virgil turned his attention to look at the cardigan-clad figure behind Thomas.

“I know what the problem is.”

“You do?”

“You do?”

Just like that, the other two Sander’s Sides popped out from the floor, pulled a chair over, and sat at the table as well. Both Logan and Roman were eager to hear Patton’s take on the situation so that this predicament could be solved.

“He just went to New York, met a ton of really awesome people, and do a lot of really cool stuff! But now that it’s over, he’s-”

“-having withdrawals.” Logan finished looking at Thomas as an epiphany struck him. “You are having withdrawals from the excitement that you were given over the weekend. Thus it is making you extremely lethargic.” Eyes widening, he extended a hand motioning to Thomas, before bringing it back to rest under his chin.

“Aww...I wanted to explain.” Patton pouted earning a snrk from Virgil.

“So...what your saying Logan is that I’m unmotivated...because…”

“Because the rush of adrenaline that you last felt three days ago is over, thus your body refuses to do anything until it feels the same rush of adrenaline once more.”

“But that isnt going to happen on its own...is it?” Virgil added.The human lowered his head in shame, shaking no in response to Virgil.

“Then it is our job to raise his adrenaline level once more!” Roman pounded his fist on the table. “But ways to do this…” Roman thought as the others including Thomas leaned in to hear his ideas. “We can cook a meal together, or go see an action movie in theatres.”

“Pillow fight!” Patton interjected earning a chuckle from everyone but Roman, who just glared at his fellow side. Thomas lifted his head, mood slightly lifted with a smile on his face.

“Well whatever it is before we begin I want a proper apology from you, Thomas!” Roman shaked a finger at the human sternly.

“Yes I must agree with Roman on this. That was extremely uncalled for.” Logan frowned.

Thomas re-hung his head. “I know I should apologize, but I don't...really...feel like doing that right now...either…?” his voice trailed off and became smaller when he began to notice the looks on his sides’ faces became more irate with each word that he spoke. Even Patton looked like he was about to give the human a stern talking to. Which, he did after a minute of awkward silence had passed.

“Are those your final words Thomas?” The other three sides stared at him in surprise. The fact that Patton had actually said his name instead of the nickname he commonly used unnerved them all. Virgil, wanting to get away from the angry Patton, slowly crawled off the table and backed away a couple steps, wanting to observe from afar.

“What...Patton…?” Thomas meekly asked for clarification on Patton’s words.

“I said…” Patton stomped up to Thomas and looked at him straight in the eyes. “...are those your final words?”

“...yes…?” Thomas gulped feeling extremely intimidated, but was soon replaced with bewilderment as a small, mischievous grin appeared on the parental trait’s face.

“Well then I guess we'll just have to find some way to get that apology out of you.” Patton stepped behind Thomas and motioned something to the other aspects that the human could not see.

Judging by the smile that spread on Roman’s face and the grins of both Virgil and Logan, he could tell they were up to something.

“Thomas. I believe we have found a way to both restore your adrenaline and bring forth an apology.” Logan arose from his chair and began to walk towards Patton.

Once Roman also decided to advance, Thomas finally felt the adrenaline pulsing through his body, compelling him to apologize and stop their plans. “Hehey guys! I feel the excitement again! You don’t have to do this...I can apologize now!! I’m sorry!! I didn’t mean it!! I was just....cranky...you know…” His words seemed to have no effect on any of them and he realized this as he felt his arms being trapped above him.

“Do you really think we are going to listen to you after all those mean words Thomas?” Not a second later, Roman trapped both of his legs underneath his arms.

Thomas began to giggle with anticipation. “Noho tickles!!”

“Yes tickles!” Patton teased as he used his free hand to scuttle along Thomas’s side, while Logan got in position to tickle his kneecaps.

Thomas’s giggles turned into laughter like lightning. “Hahahahaha!!! Nyuhuhuhuhu!!”

“Hey Virgil! Wanna help?” Anxiety looked upon the restrained, laughing human and shrugged.

“Sure. Not like I got anything better to do.” He casually walked over and positioned himself next to Thomas’s stomach.

“GUHUHUHHUYSSSS!!! I’m SOHOHOHOHORRRYYY!!!” As Logan scratched his fingers behind Thomas’s kneecaps and Roman began to work off his socks and shoes, all aspects were hellbent on getting their revenge. Virgil casually rested a hand on Thomas’s stomach and began to squeeze the loose bits raising Thomas’s laughter even more.

“Hahaha! I forgot how ticklish Thomas is!” Roman scuttled his fingers up and down the trapped humans sole.

“Heeheehee! He is! But that also means we are too!!” Patton moved his hand from his side up into his armpit swirling slowly and teasing as he went. “Tickle tickle Thomas! Maybe this’ll teach you not to mess with yourself!”

“Patton that sounded wrong.” Virgil commented, now lifting up Thomas’s shirt and spider tickling his soft skin.

“THEHEHEHEH TAHAHAHAHLKING MAHAHAHHAKING IHIHHIHHIT WOHOHOHOHOHRSEEEE!!!” Thomas was howling with laughter as tears of joy splashed down his face.

“Oh it is? Well then...perhaps some more exposition will speed up this process.” Logan gave a silly grin while he squeezed the human’s inner thighs.

“Pffffahahahaha! Good one Logan.” Roman was now slowly stroking his fingers in between and under Thomas’s ticklish toes.

“GUHUHUHUHUYSSSSS!!! I CAHAHAHAHAHAHAN’TTT TAHAHAHAKE IT AHAHAHNYMOHOHOHOREEE!!” Thomas had been trying to flail and escape, but in this situation he was his own captor.

“Yeah...he needs a break. I’m his fight or flight reaction so...you’d kinda think I would know when to stop.” And stop is what he did, but not before dishing out a sharp poke to Thomas’s belly button and putting his shirt down.

“Oh alright.” Roman stopped tickling but held his feet in place. Logan lifted his hands off of Thomas’s thigh and took a step back.

“Awww…” Patton pouted, clearly not wanting to be done yet. “Oh fine. But not before I do this!” Ever so slightly did the parental trait wiggle his fingers against the sides of Thomas’s neck, eliciting several squeals from the human. Everyone chuckled at the human’s reaction.

“Alright Patton. That’s enough.” Roman nodded back to Morality at which he reluctantly ceased his attack. They all carefully released the giggling human and stepped back as Thomas began to stand up.

“Hehe...what wahahahas this...youhoohoho are all...ahahs ticklish as mehe?” He looked up at them, bright red in the face and panting, with danger shining in his eyes.

“SCATTER!” Roman yelled as all the sides ran different places around the apartment.

Thomas just laughed. “Guys I’m johoking! You’d just all gang up on me ag-”

“PILLOW FIGHT!”

“Patton wha-asdfhjkkl” The rest of Thomas’s words were smothered by a pillow to the face thrown by the moral aspect. The pillow dropped to the floor in enough time to see Patton pelting the other sides with pillows. He shrugged, laughed, and joined in the fun. After five minutes of all the silliness, the five clones sat down together on the floor, all giggling their hearts out.

“Looks like Patton got his pillow fight.” Virgil commented. They all nodded in agreement.

“How about you Thomas? Do you feel better?” Roman asked.

“Yes. I do. I’m really sorry. I won’t ever say anything like that again. To any of you. I love you all so much!”

“We love you too Thomas! We love you too.”
