Hi! Im new to this blog and i ADORE your writings very much!! May i request punz and dream (seperate) w/ gn!reader that is selective mute? Bonus if they hear the reader talk for the first time and the reader's voice is just like so?!?!?!? Cute?!?! If thats make sense for you. Thanks! Can i be 🍙 anon? Bye and sorry if this is too long ^^;
Hallo, thank for requesting!
Welcome to my blog and to the family 🍙 anon, hope you enjoy <3
Dream and Punz react to a selective mute! Reader
Tumblr media
Click Here before requesting, please ^^
Reader: GN - They/Them
Kind of like Callahan, you mostly communicate with everyone through texts
You just get too anxious to talk and everybody in the smp repsects that
So you mostly work behind the scenes and sometimes appear for comic relief
Tumblr media
❝ Dream ❞
He was the one that suggested you joined the SMP
You had been a close friend of Callahan, so he befriended you quiet quickly
He also wanted to help you slowly get comfortable around them and maybe talk a little whenever the times comes
So when one day you abruptly called Dream on discord he had to get himself mentally ready
"...hi"
*insert sound of things crashing and falling*
"Oh god, Dream, are you ok???"
"Yup- just wet... everything"
You laughed at his answer
He was so surprised to hear you that he accidentally knocked his water bottle and wet himself
But hearing you talk AND laugh just made him forget what happened
He was just happy that you were comfortable with him
Tumblr media
❝ Punz ❞
You and Punz bonded thanks to Valorant
He secretly adored your little happy texts whenever you would win while he acted all grumpy
You both started texting eachother almost every day, wishing to be able to see eachother even if you were anxious about the idea
But he so happens to have moved close to your house, something you didn't tell him
Why? Because you felt ready to talk to him.
He had always been so patient and kind to you, so you trusted him fully and were more comfortable then ever around him
"H-Hi Punz"
So one day you knocked on his door and...
[also, he knows how you look like]
"Hold on- Y/N- omg I'm so happy to see you!!!"
He had completely disregarded the fact that you just talked, which made you feel more comfortable because it meant that he didn't care that much
You both were just happy to finally be with eachother and were exited for whats to come

the great adventures of y/n tommy tubbo jack and ranboo - how y/n made friends with everyone
this is an extra to the great adventures series
requested: yes/no
warnings: cursing
tommy
you were actually friends with tommy when he was streaming to a few viewers, and you even watched as his channel grew. eventually he asked you to mod for him, as he knew he could trust you and because had experience being a twitch mod. he was also the reason you began streaming. as for how you met, you were in the same classes as him in highschool, and since you were the ‘quiet’ person in the class, they sat tommy next to you. honestly, you hated him when you first met him and the feeling was mutual. you didn’t want to sit next to the rather loud teenager and he had no one to talk to anymore as his friends were on the other side of the room.
“do you ever talk?”
“heh?”
“i said do you ever talk...do you always do that”
“do what”
“that fucking HeH.”
“are you mocking me simons?”
“noooo why would i do that...”
“it’s y/n.”
“right, yeah, yeah, i totally knew that.”
“great now please leave me alone i’m trying to work.”
“loser.”
“the fuck did you just say?”
“nothing.”
it was that moment tommy decided he was going to make you just like him, and a few years later that’s exactly what he did. by year 11 you and tommy had grown extremely close. the last day of school arrived a lot earlier than expected, everyone was extremely stressed, no one knew what to expect or what was going to happen. you found yourself hanging around with tommy a lot more as you had no idea if you would both be going to the same college, in september you received a text message that made your night:
tommy: college sent out emails telling you if you were accepted go check
*2 minutes later*
tommy: well?
y/n: i got accepted
tommy: me too
y/n: call me right now
tommy: i’m about to stream..have you ever considered streaming?
y/n: absolutely not
tommy: make an account and stream after me i’ll raid you..make me mod you know how people can be
once college started up, you were slightly nervous the two of you would drift away from each other. however this was far from the case, although you both did different subjects and he was only in on wednesdays, the pair of you would hang out together a lot more. he would be in your streams and vice versa, you would either be in his tiktoks, or you would be the one filming them.
“y/n make a tiktok we can be mutuals.”
“please god no.”
you spent so much time at his house either talking about random things, playing whatever game you could find, or streaming. he dragged you to every meet up he went on, allowing you to meet people such as niki, phil, and, wilbur. you didn’t know this, but he would constantly bring you up in conversations with dream, which eventually lead to you joining the smp in october where you would later be able to meet the likes of jack, technoblade and jschlatt. the only person you didn’t seem to see on the server was his other friend tubbo.
ranboo
you had become friends with scott after being his first twitch mod and when he noticed you started streaming, he was extremely supportive, always raiding your stream once he ended his. today you found yourself bickering with scott because he wouldn’t let you in mcc despite the fact you were ‘the best minecraft player.’
“y/n, i watched you die in minecraft 7 times last night within 5 minutes.”
“oh i’m sorry mr perfect, let me in mcc.”
“no.”
“fine i’ll make my own.”
and that’s exactly what you did..well you tried your best.
you started your stream as soon as scott ended and had him call you on discord after explaining to your chat what you were about to do.
“scott final chance let me in mcc, i’ll settle for access to the practice server.”
“fine.”
“REALLY?!”
“absolutely not!”
“fuck you, ill be in it one day!”
you left the call telling chat you didn’t need that negative energy in your life.
you really have scott to thank for you making friends with ranboo, scott made a tweet explaining what you were doing on stream which caught ranboos eye.
Smajor1995: after not making it into mcc again my good friend @y/n has decided to take it upon themselves to make their own on stream!! ill also be in the stream (if they answer my calls) *twitch link*
ranboo joined your stream and was instantly met with you yelling at scott (again) to let you in mcc.
“IM YOUR TWITCH MOD!”
“i will ban you from mcc!”
“you don’t have the nerve... so he left the call this is bullshit watch me land this water bucket clutch down this ravine so we can find axolotls and build an army.”
*you died*
you pulled your hood over your face before sinking down your chair taking a deep breath.
“FUCK!”
you calmly got back up and looked into your camera.
“i was so close, so very close.. HEY CHAT SCOTT SENT ME A LINK TO THE SERVER!”
a few minutes later you were able to get onto the server, only to be kicked less than a minute later. the reason you were banned being ‘i watched you fail the water bucket clutch down a ravine.’
you continued your build on your server and just spent the rest of the stream talking about anything that crossed your mind, that was until you decided to copy ace race. once finished, you looked into your camera and pulled your microphone closer to you.
“so this is race ace, so scott doesn’t sue me, and basically it’s going to be this course, but i’m going to change a random section practice it every day, not tell anyone it changed. of course i’m going to tell my team we have to win, oh fuck i forgot scott was watching my stream..it’s okay he didn’t hear me he’s too busy planning how he can rig the next mcc.”
ranboo found himself enjoying your content and even noticed you in his chat multiple times.
“just a minute chat i’m just sending an important dm to my mods.”
that’s when you noticed chat paused for a minute after you sent a message, it confused you for a minute before realising ranboo made you a vip on his channel and you decided to do the same for him on your channel, from there you added each other on discord. the pair of you made friends extremely quickly, you were constantly part of his streams as you would call him on discord not realising that he was streaming.
“hi y/n, by the way i’m streaming”
“i just wanted to ask if you knew how to break into a house?”
“....why”
“i locked myself out by accident and my parents are asleep come help me.”
“you are in the uk.”
“okay? catch a flight.”
chat honestly loved you and your friendship with ranboo. the pair of you only met a few weeks ago and you were already acting as though you had known each other for years.
jack
you and jack met for the first time on the smp, which would have been fine, however you met during lore and your characters weren’t exactly the best of friends. once lore had ended, everyone said their goodbyes and left the call. a few moments later you received a discord message from jack asking if you were available to call any time soon. since you were back in lockdown, you had plenty of free time. you arranged a time and date a few days later you called jack, where you had your first proper interaction out of character.
“hello jack!!”
“oh hi y/n i just thought it may be a good idea to get to know each other, well you know considering we’re both on the dream smp.”
“yeah, yeah, i understand what you mean.”
the pair of you ended up getting along with each other, it was slightly awkward for the first 5 minutes of the call, but that was expected since you hadn’t really met jack before and were anxious to call him. however, after that the conversation started to flow and you found out the pair of you had a lot in common making it easy to come up with things to talk about. it ended up feeling as though you were catching up with a friend you hadn’t spoken to for a while.
“has anyone told you your accent is really strong.”
“so is yours, y/n, what the fuck is that supposed to mean.”
“it means your accent is strong, duh.”
jack asked if you’d like to stay in call and join him on the smp whilst he streamed, and you gladly accepted the offer as you really didn’t want to do your college work, and you were enjoying your time with him. a few minutes into the stream jack had killed you several times.
“JACK STOP KILLING ME!”
rather than answering you he just sat laughing. he then went on to attempt to mute him microphone, he failed. however he didn’t realise this, so you sat listening to his plan on how he was going to kill you again. this time you were prepared, you sent a message to tommy telling him to log on along with your location. few minutes later tommy was by your side and helped you kill jack several times for revenge.
“Y/N...TOMMY!!”
“you didn’t mute your mic, so i told tommy you were bullying me.”
“im gonna go...BYE JACK, BYE Y/N, ILL SEE YOU SOON!”
“i can’t believe you.”
“hey you’re the one who didn’t turn your mic off.”
“how did you know?”
“i had your stream on my other monitor.”
“ayeee you watch my streams?”
“...i’ve been a sub for 4 months.”
the two of you stayed chatting and playing for another hour. the pair of you were already so close and you had only met each other the other day. this was just the start of your friendship, soon enough you were in a laugh and the stream ends challenge on his stream, however due to lockdown rules this was done over discord leading to you accidentally leaving the call several times.
“and they’re gone again!”
*4 minutes later*
“SORRY JACK IM BACK!”
“stop leaving y/n!”
“oh i’m sorry, let me just go yell at my wifi to stop cutting out!”
a few seconds later you could be heard faintly in the background screaming at your wifi as it would continue to buffer. as soon as restrictions were over one of the first things you decided to do was go to jacks and stream a laugh you lose where there was a punishment if you were responsible for losing the last heart. however everything was apparently hilarious in person as you would constantly laugh, meaning you were responsible for losing the last heart.
“y/n give me your phone.”
“no.”
“you lost let me tweet from your account”
“fine..”
soon enough your fans and friends with your notifications on received this twitter notification
“y/n: jack is so cool and funny he is also really tall i am not”
tubbo
tubbo was actually the last person you met and made friends with, your community were convinced for some reason that you both didn’t like each other and that’s why the pair of you didn’t talk to each other. this was far from the case you were both waiting for the right time, tubbo was an extremely busy teenager and you didn’t want to interrupt him, and tubbo knew you were currently in a stressful position since you had recently joined the dream smp, also you were still meeting people so he didn’t want to stress you out. this doesn’t mean he didn’t want to be your friend, he actually asked tommy since he had been your friend for at least 4 years what would be the best way of getting to know you.
“mate they hated me when we first met, just talk to them or something. you could have met them the last time i went up to visit you, but they ended up not feeling too good and went back to the hotel room.”
“when are you next coming up?”
“how about next week, and i’ll bring y/n, i really don’t understand why you’re nervous tubbo, it’s y/n they wouldn’t hurt a fly..well hmm.”
“see you next week then!”
a week later tommy dragged you to the train station.
“uh tommy where are we going?”
“...on a train.”
“no way, really? oh my god!”
a few hours later you finally got off the train.
“ill go with my dad to check into the hotel room, do you want to come with us or?”
“i think i’ll go for a walk and stretch my legs.”
“right okay, meet you at the beach later”
you spent a few minutes walking around the beach picking up any rocks and shells that caught your eye, little did you know it would result in you meeting tubbo. once you finished putting your new collection in your pockets you noticed a small crowd of people walk up to someone asking for pictures assuming it was tommy you walked over to the boy, it wasn’t tommy it was in fact tubbo. at first you stayed silent not wanting to really cause attention to yourself. you only spoke up when some people started to make inappropriate comments towards him.
“oh sorry to be a pain guys me and tubbo have plans with tommy in a few minutes, we should go so we’re not late. bye guys.”
you smiled and waved as they walked away. you looked over to tubbo, you could tell he was still pretty anxious about what just happened and honestly if you was in his position, you would react the same way.
“we should probably move from here incase they come back and see you’re still here, are you okay?”
“im feeling better now it’s over..thank you”
“oh it’s no problem i’m, y/n btw.”
“wait you and tommy were still meant to be on the train.”
“the train was actually on time, tommy went to check into the hotel i wanted to stretch my legs, i also wanted to collect some rocks.”
“did you collect enough or did you want more?”
“im not going to say no if you wanna go collect some with me.”
the pair of you walked around keeping each other close incase the people from before returned. half an hour later, the pair of you sat on a bench close to the beach so you could show tubbo everything you decided to pick up, he ended up keeping a rock he liked to have as a memory. tubbo wrapped an arm around you as it was getting cold whilst you watched the sunset.
“tubbo i think tommy forgot about me.”
“you can spend the night at mine, i’ll send him a message to let him know.”
“are you sure?”
“of course!”
“this has to be the most unsafe thing either of us will ever do, we hardly know each other and now i’m staying at yours.”
tommy sent you a message explaining that he didn’t forget, there was a problem at the other hotel and they had to go find another one, but you’ll be fine to stay at tubbos for the night. the pair of you spent the entire night learning as much as you can about the other person. it had only been an evening but you already knew the pair of you would be great friends.

Star Struck | Corpse Husband x Reader
Warnings: Fluff, Swearing (If I’m missing any let me know please! :) )
a/n: You’re a model/ streamer in this one! :D I’m thinking about if I should turn this into a series or not? Lmk what you think. I hope you like it <3
It was a nice morning. The sun was shining through the tall windows that showed you a view of your balcony onto your bed, there was a slight breeze so it wasn’t too hot, and you could hear the birds chirping with the occasional honking due to LA traffic. The only reason you woke up was because the sun was shining right in your face. You groaned and put a pillow over your face. I really don’t want to get up right now. Just a few more minutes.. You thought and right as you were about to take the pillow off your face and turn over onto your other side so you could go back to sleep, your phone started ringing. “Ugh!” You groaned once again and reached for your phone that was on your nightstand. You looked at the caller ID and saw that it was your manager, Chris. You accepted the call and put the phone to your ear. “What do you want?” You asked in an annoyed and tired tone. You were definitely NOT a morning person. You hated mornings.
“Oh my God,” He said in a rushed tone, “Have you literally JUST woken up? You have a photoshoot in 2 hours! Makeup and wardrobe are waiting for you down here!” Your eyes widened. You completely forgot about it.
“I-I’ll be right there!” You told him and hung up. You sprang out of bed and almost ran to your walk in closet, your eyes scanning for a top that would match the black leather skirt you wanted to wear for the day. You decided on a black mesh body suit with a black crop top under it. All black today. like your soul. You quickly put on some black heels and brushed your hair, cringing at how the brush tugged on your hair when it reached a knot. You didn’t bother doing your makeup since your makeup team would take it off anyway. You fast walked to the door of your apartment, grabbed your purse off the hook, and opened your door to leave to your photoshoot.
                                                      🖤🖤🖤
After a lot of yelling from Chris for holding the makeup and wardrobe team up, you did your photoshoot and got to go home. When you got home, you took a mirror picture of your outfit and uploaded it to Instagram, putting the caption as “Fashionably Late 🖤💋”. You smiled at the influx of likes right as it posted. You were truly lucky to have your supporters, but you wanted one person in particular to see it. 
Corpse’s POV
I was casually playing Among Us with my friends while they streamed when I felt my phone vibrate slightly on my lap. I began to feel anxious to check my phone since I only have notifications on for one person but I didn’t want to take my eyes off the screen since I was following Jack, who I was sus of. Right when him and I entered electrical, he broke my neck. I felt relieved though since I got to finally look at (y/n)’s post.
My eyes widened when I saw the picture of her outfit. She looked good. Very good. I double tapped on it and immediately went to the comment section out of curiosity of what other people were saying. I looked at all the comments saying how pretty she was and smiled, but the comments made by creepy people made my blood boil. I wish I could just reply to them and say “That’s my girl. Stop.” but we both agreed to keep our relationship out of the public eye and I was truly fine with that. I just wish I could protect her from the creeps out there. 
I wasn’t even paying attention to the game until I suddenly saw “Victory” appear on my screen. “Let’s goooo!” I said into the mic. Everyone else was celebrating as well.
“Hey!” Rae exclaimed, “Let’s get (y/n) in here, she just got home.” My heart skipped a beat and I smiled.
“Yes!” I said a little too excited. Everyone else didn’t notice it though and agreed with me. I quickly texted her out of excitement.
Your POV
After receiving an invite from Rae and booting up your computer, as well as getting everything prepared to stream, you got a text from Corpse. You quickly grabbed your phone to respond back to whatever he said.
My Love 😊💖💖
im so excited to hear your voice
i’ve missed you
<3
You blushed at his messages. You thought about what to text back for a minute until you figured out what to say.
You
I have so much to tell you from today
I missed you so much bb
ft later?
You set your phone back on your desk and loaded up Among Us, joining the discord call while you wait. You were greeted by everyone as you joined.
“(Y/n)! Good noon!” Greeted Rae. You smiled as everyone in the call erupted in hello’s.
“Hey, (y/n).” Corpse said after everyone else had their chance to greet you.
Your stomach did backflips from him just saying your name. “Hi~” You said in a sing songy voice and started streaming. “How are all you guys doing?” You asked as your picked up your water from your desk and started drinking.
“Good now that you’re here..” Corpse muttered. You choked on your water and erupted in coughing, taken aback from what he said. Good thing your were muted.
“Corpse?!” Yelled Poki.
“What did you say?!” Also yelled Felix. The rest were just erupting in Aw’s.
“U-uh,” Corpse stuttered, “I meant that because (y/n) is such a good imposter and I’ve been a little off my game today so I’m hoping we get imposter together so I have some content for a video.” Good cover up.. You thought as your coughing got under control. I think he forgot to mute himself. 
“Yeah!” You exclaimed, “We got this my dude!” You took a glance at chat and saw everyone going crazy. Half of them were typing in all caps asking for someone to clip that moment, and half were shipping you and corpse.
“I can only play one game anyway,” Corpse said, “I have stuff to do.” You frowned at what he said. You haven’t gotten to talk with him all day because of how rushed you were this morning and now you won’t have time to talk with him now because of how different your schedules are. Even though you two loved each other a lot you have had your arguments about this with him. You hate that he lives two hours from you or else this wouldn’t be an issue. You would be over at his house everyday if he lived in LA. You hated long distance.
You had a great time playing with your friends, but when Corpse left you got a little gloomy. He wasn’t answering your texts either. You sighed and changed into his hoody he left in your closet when he visited last and put on some grey pajama shorts. You tied your hair into a messy bun so it wouldn’t get in your way for the rest of the night even though you were just going to watch Netflix in your bed and eat chips. After grabbing your snacks, you walked to your bedroom and opened the glass door to the balcony in your room, turned your LED lights to (f/c), got comfortable in your bed, and turned on your favorite show on your TV.
You were scrolling through Instagram as you heard a knock at your door. A scared feeling washed over you and you paused what you were doing. It was like you were frozen in time and if you made one sudden movement everything would come crashing down. They knocked again. You were scared that some crazed fan found your address to your apartment. Cautiously, you walked to your door and looked through the peek hole. Butterflies fluttered in your stomach and a wide grin appeared on your face as you saw who it was. You quickly unlocked your door and opened it. You wasted no time and grabbed Corpse’s face and kissed him with so much passion you didn’t want to stop. He lifted you up and held your thighs in his hands, walking into your apartment and shutting the door with his foot. “I’ve missed you so much baby.” He breathed as he kept kissing you.
You pulled away from the heated session and Corpse carefully placed you on your feet. You hugged him. “I missed you too.” You said and didn’t want to let go. Corpse placed a kiss on your head as he hugged you and rubbed your back. You realized something and pulled away from the hug. “Where’s your stuff?” Noticing he didn’t have a suitcase.
He looked at you with a blank expression. “Fuuuckk....” He groaned. “I forgot it.” 
You looked at him confused. “How do you forget your stuff. It’s a two hour drive here!” You laughed.
He scratched the back of his neck embarrassed. “I really missed you and I was excited to surprise you,” He explained. “I didn’t want to get here late and have you asleep so I didn’t even think about packing.”
You smiled. “Well, at least you have a ton of clothes here you’ve left.” 
He smirked, looking at his hoodie on your body. “Yeah, I see that.”
You smirked back at him, turned around, and began to walk back into your bedroom, wanting him to follow you. Corpse quickly swept you off your feet and put you over his shoulder, plopping you on the bed as he got on top of you. He looked into your eyes. “I’m tired.” He muttered.
“Let’s cuddle then, baby.” You smile. He smiles back at you tiredly as he moves off you to be the big spoon, pulling you against him by wrapping his arm around your waist. You felt happy in that moment. You finally got to be with the only man who loves you for you physically, instead of two hours away. You both fell asleep, taking in this moment.

a/n: tysm for requesting! i hope this lives upto your expectations ^-^ OBVIOUSLY most of this is made up - and i’m talking about the Leslie and Corpse storyline - so please don’t come @ me S,JDFNKJSDNF
alSO KINDA SHORT IM SORRY
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
You sighed as you logged onto discord ready for your stream, your setup was your favourite colour, so you clicked on your webcam with a smile and clicked to start the stream. People soon started to flood in.
“Hey guys!” You smiled taking a drink of water, “Welcome to the stream, we’re playing Among Us today with Rae and Sykkuno and a few more new friends! I think Corpse is coming to play with us, I’m excited to meet him!”
You quickly joined the discord call, Ludwig, Rae, Sykunno, Toast, Leslie, Poki, Felix and Sean had already joined, so as soon as I joined that was 9/10 of the lobby.
“Hey guys!” You giggled happily.
“Hey Y/n!” They all greet you happily, as you adjust your headphones on your head, pulling your mic a tad bit closer.
Soon one more person joined the discord call, “Hey,” a deep yet soothing voice speaks up.
“Woah.” You mutter quickly realising your mic discord isn’t muted.
Corpse laughs, you two were the only one’s in the lobby who didn’t know each other, “I’m Corpse, and you must be y/n.” You can hear his smile through the screen, “Big fan.”
Your face flushes red and chat takes notice, “Yes, that is me, I am y/n, and I, personally am very excited to meet you!” You cheer, trying to keep your cool.
“Holy shit guys.” Rae chuckles, “Their voices are complete opposite - it’s like the angel and the devil.”
“Hmmm maybe,” You perk up, “I guess I’d be the devil then.”
Corpse chuckles at your comment as the round starts as you smile because of his laugh, proud of yourself that you made the man, the myth, the legend, Corpse Husband laugh.
That was a year and a half ago.
You knocked on the door tugging on your grey sweater as he opened the door quickly, letting you in, before pulling off his mask as soon as the door had closed behind you. Corpse smiled at you as you hurried inside placing Grocery bags on the kitchen counter.
The two of you decided to rent a place together in LA to be closer to your friends and open up a new line of opportunities. Well, that’s how you pitched it to your best friend.
Anyway, it was game night at the Corpse x Y/n residence, last week was at Sykkuno’s house where you all played What Do You Meme, now it was yours and Corpse’s turn. Playing Cards Against Humanity because they all knew you guys had the largest collection of cards. You quickly set out everything on the table as Corpse just admired you from the couch.
“You could help, y’know.” You glared at him as he sat there watching you.
Corpse pretended to think about it, “Well, if I try to help you’re just gonna push me away and do everything yourself anyway.” He smirks - he’s right. You know he is. He knows he is. Everyone know’s he is. You’re a control freak.
You huff, “So what?”
“So what?” Corpse lets out the loudest laugh he can, “Last time you almost broke my finger!!”
You pause, before leaving it at that, Corpse just chuckles as he sits there, you finish in no less than ten minutes, “It’s gonna be fine.”
“Never said I wasn’t.” You retort.
Corpse looks at you, “I know you better than anyone, y/n.” It’s gonna be okay.
And he was right, the night went great. Everyone was smiling and laughing and having fun. It was a night to remember, mostly because Rae almost got blackout drunk and Toast and Sykkuno had to take her home early. But she’d just laugh it off in the morning after you call her and make sure she’s okay.
Corpse stands up, “Anyone need a drink?” He questions, as everyone shake’s their heads. Leslie actually changes her mind and follows him around the corner to a small kitchen.
A lot of people wouldn’t have known this, but Lesilie and Corpse met way before he met Felix or anyone current. She looks at him with a soft smile as she watches him get her a drink from the fancy fridge they have in their house.
“What?” Corpse questions noticing Leslie’s look.
Leslie chuckles, “You love her, dude,” She sighs before he can protest it, “Don’t try to say that I’m wrong either. She’s changed you, you’re slightly happier now, you’re making your way up there, she lifts your spirits every single day and you should see the way you fucking look at her, because I know you don’t know. You love her dude and she loves you too, think about it.”
Leslie leaves the kitchen as her and Edison are the only ones left in the house, it was kinda sad to see it without people in it but you smiled regardless. “That was really fun tonight, thanks Corpse!”
Corpse smiles as you do, “Always. But I’m super beat, gonna try and get some sleep.” In reality, he wasn’t. He was just gonna think about what Leslie said all night.
She was right. You loved him. But you couldn’t tell him that because 99.9% of the time they didn’t reciprocate those feelings back. She had learned not to try with love anymore. So you were sitting in bed that night thinking about a life where you had something good. You had love and comfort. Though you felt it was never going to happen.
Corpse was doing the same - he didn’t take the shots because he was scared. He thinks about her. All the fuckin’ time. How he’s so glad she joined that lobby. Leslie was right she made him happier. She made his life better. Way fucking better. He thought about a life with her, that it would be so good to call her his girlfriend. Never have to see her with another guy again - because yes. He was jealous of all the one’s she’d bring home after a night out with her friends. But she didn’t know they would come out and he’d scare them off.
He didn’t know he was doing that - not intentionally.
Your music fades out of your head as you try to fall asleep to it, but it fails coming back into earshot. You turn to the opposite side of the music. You tossed and turned before standing up out of bed. You had to do it. You had to tell him how you feel and you had to do it now. Something made you compelled to do it. Something made you need to do it.
You opened your bedroom door stepping out of it quickly walking down the hall over to Corpse’s room. 
Your anxiety started to spike, you could feel tears on the brims of your eyes - you were starting to overthink.
“What if he doesn’t love me back”
“What if he’s in love with someone else”
Corpse was having the same spike of anxiety, as he started to overthink feeling his stomach - his gut churn. He knew he had to tell you. No matter how anxious he was, he was willing to take that 50/50 chance. You were practically speed walking, and so was he. The two of you ran into each other, falling onto the floor opposite of each other, your hands catching you, breaking your fall. You yelped before you both chuckled and Corpse helped you up. The two of you hadn’t realise how close you were until Corpse spoke and you could feel the warmth of his breath and minty toothpaste on your face.
“Corpse I- I need to tell you something.” He stopped you.
“No- I do.”
“Corpse I have to tell you!”
“Y/N I LOVE YOU!” Corpse yells pulling away from you as he starts to pace, “I can’t go a day without missing you - I can’t go a day without you here. I crumble, I fall apart. You make me happier, nobody’s done that before. You are a light to my life, you are my sun, you are everything to me and I don’t know how to live without you - how to function. You went to VidCon for three days and I fell apart completely. I. Love. You.”
At this point Corpse didn’t know what he was saying. He was just going with his gut. You sat there shocked. You just smiled at him after a while. You ran towards him and jumped into his arms pressing a kiss to his lips and then pressing them all over the rest of his face.
He was relieved to say the least - probably guessing this is what you were going to tell him and he loved that - he could finally love you.
He carried you to his bedroom, which would soon be the two of yours as it was larger in size and fell asleep comfortably in each others arms as the warmth of Corpse’s body radiated onto yours. His arms around you, holding you to never let you go. To never get hurt. To protect you from all the bad in the world.
The two of your feelings were finally at peace. It was a beautiful masterpiece called love. You changed Corpse for the better and he changed you for it too. You both lived in perfect harmony with each other. It was a comfort you had never truely felt before - same to him. Something that the both of you never wanted to let go of. Let alone each other.

Everything (everything will be just fine)
Pairing: established background Anxceitmus, the fic itself is Virgil-centric
Characters: Virgil Sanders, Deceit Sanders, Remus Sanders
Words: 1.304
Warnings: one (1) light sexual innuendo, deadnaming, misgendering, controlling parents, swearing, sympathetic Remus & Deceit
Notes: man I keep posting these fics later and later uh nsakjscncjk anyway, have some Virgil being confident and standing up to his parents, heck yeah. Also, big thanks to @figurative-siren-song for the prompt, I sure had lots of fun writing it <3
Commission me!!  Buy me a coffee!!  Join my Discord server!!  AO3!!
To say that Virgil was anxious would have been an understatement.
Every nerve of his body felt as if it was on fire, his heart beating wildly in his chest as he fought with everything he had not to break down right in the middle of the living room -there was no way his parents were going to miss that, and then he’d have to explain why exactly he was having an anxiety attack and he really did not want to do that.
Not yet at least, not until he was out of the house and ready to leave. If anything were to happen before that, Virgil was 99% sure things would not end up great. For him, anyway.
His phone buzzed in his hoodie pocket, startling him out of his thoughts.
[HissHissMotherfucker] hey, hows it going over there?
[GreenGoblinMan] ik i already offered but if you need me to i still have enough time to come over
[GreenGoblinMan] my morning star and i are great at emotional support :{D
Virgil snorted, shaking his head with a smile -god, why did he have to fall in love with these two dorks?
[RacoonMan] skjcndkjcn
[RacoonMan] we’re about to start loading up the trunk, so the Talk hasnt happened yet
[RacoonMan] and i think ill take a raincheck on that one, rem. i dont want to have to bail you out again
[GreenGoblinMan] awww D}:
[HissHissMotherfucker] dont worry spider, ill make sure he doesnt try to sneak out
[HissHissMotherfucker] do let us know when youre on your way though, we’ve got nightmare before christmas and black cauldron all set up and ready to go
[GreenGoblinMan] and i made grilled cheese!!! the edible kind, dee didnt let me play with any fun ingredients this time
[RacoonMan] you guys know im not big on cheesy shit
[RacoonMan] but god i love you a lot right now
[GreenGoblinMan] ilyt vevee!! and you can show us just how much you love us when you get here :{D
[HissHissMotherfucker] aaaaaaaand moment gone
Virgil huffed out another small laugh, bringing up the keyboard to type out an answer, only to be interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs. Quickly, he slipped his phone back into his pocket, taking in a deep breath as he steeled himself for what was about to come.
“Anne!” his mother called, stepping into the living room with a big smile. “Are you ready, dear?”
Virgil barely let himself wince at the mention of his deadname, far too used to it by now -if everything went according to plan, after today he wasn’t going to hear that name ever again anyway.
“Yup, all packed up and ready to be loaded in the car.”
Virgil’s dad nodded in understanding, the last of the boxes from upstairs still perched up in his arms.
“Very well, then let’s get started,” he said, gesturing with his head towards the front door they’d opened beforehand.
Virgil nodded, crouching down to take a few boxes of his own. Immediately, his mother shot forward, resting her hand on his forearm with a frown.
“Honey, let your dad handle the heavy lifting,” she said, voice sickeningly sweet, “that’s not something a girl should have to deal with.”
“Well, thank fuck I’m not a girl then,” Virgil wanted to say, feeling the familiar irritation bubble up in his gut. Still, he kept silent, biting the inside of his cheek until the urge passed.
Just a little more. He had to deal with all of this just a little bit more.
“Don’t worry mom, I got this,” he said instead, carefully shrugging her hand away. “Besides, if I let dad do all the work then I’d risk being late and getting stuck in the rush hour traffic, which I really don’t want to deal with.”
His mother huffed but relented, following Virgil out of the door as he went to settle the boxes on the asphalt beside the open trunk.
“I still don’t understand why you wouldn’t want us to come with, honestly,” she kept pressing, crossing her arms in obvious displeasure. “We can help you set your room up, make sure everything is alright…”
And that’s exactly why I don’t want you to come, Virgil thought, resisting the urge to roll his eyes as he walked back towards the house.
It didn’t take them long to load the whole car up, and before Virgil knew it, everything was set up and ready to go.
Well, time to get this show on the road, he guessed.
“We can still come with you, you know that right?” his father remarked for the fifth time in less than an hour. “Your college is not too far away, after all.”
“At least text us once you get there,” his mother huffed, “and remember, no pit stops or something of the like. Drive straight to your dorm, you understand me, young girl?”
This time, Virgil did roll his eyes, walking around the car towards the driver’s seat. “Don’t worry mom, the only place I want to be right now is my apartment.”
Virgil could almost pinpoint the moment his words registered for his parents, instinctively tightening his hand around his phone as his heart started to speed up again.
The device buzzed and he looked down again, seeing the new message blinking up at him from the screen.
[HissHissMotherfucker] you can do this, Virgil. We believe in you
Virgil smiled, his grip loosening as a sudden surge of confidence filled his chest. With Dee and Remus by his side, he felt as if he could overcome anything.
“You’re going to a college dorm, Anne, not an apartment,” his mother pointed out, eyes reduced to slits as she dared him to contradict her.
Virgil met her gaze head-on, the most unafraid he’d ever felt around his parents.
“Nope,” he said, popping the ‘p’, “I’m going to my apartment, where my boyfriends are waiting for me. I told you I didn’t want to go to college, not my fault you didn’t listen.”
“And what, you’re going to throw away your future like that?!” his father asked, looking absolutely flabbergastered. “You need your college degree, you can’t just throw away years of work and savings because you want to be rebellious!”
“No, you were the one who wanted me to go to college!” Virgil countered, ignoring the way his heart jumped in his chest when his father raised his voice. “I told you I wasn’t interested, but you never listened! Because what do I know, right? It’s not like this is my life we’re talking about or anything! And you can keep that money, I don’t need it -I have my own, and a job waiting just for me as soon as I settle in my new home.”
“You’re making a mistake,” his father warned, voice low and angry in a way that made Virgil’s stomach instinctively twist in fear. “Don’t think you’ll be able to just crawl back here for forgiveness when your little plan blows up.”
“Oh don’t worry, I’m not planning on it,” Virgil seethed, finally entering the car and starting the engine.
“Don’t you dare drive out of this driveway, young lady!” his mother shouted, slamming her hand on the car seat on Virgil’s right. “No daughter of mine will go waste her life with such bad influences!”
“Well, thank god I’m not your daughter then,” Virgil shot back, before pressing his foot over the accelerator and finally, finally leaving everything behind.
Once he reached a red light at an intersection, he let out a relieved laugh, resting his head on the steering wheel. Grinning, he slipped out his phone, typing out a quick text before taking the first turn towards his new life.
[RacoonMan] get ready to unload an entire car worth of things fuckers

Hello, maybe you coukd give me some tips. I send you that ask already but it means ght be deleted by tumblr and it was all messy and ugly.
So I have one childhood friend, we used to do everything together till highschool. Often she was my only friend, like now. We slowly started to distance from each other sonce she has a boyfriend. For all those years I did my best to accept him and all, told myself that duh she is not obliged to spent time only with me even in situation when she spent less and less time with me. Sometime I had a bit trouble to fully accept bf because sometime when they argued she was venting to me and I felt like his is hurting her but she refused to break up with him. Boy eas very insecure, no friends and so on and one day around graduating junior hight school she wanted to break up with him but he said something like he is gonna hurt himself if she will, or just drop out the school. So she wanted to wait at least until he graduate, but she waited longer. Then just after we graduated hightschool she broke up with him like she had enought. It was prolly a mistake but after she vent I said one or two things about him concerning past events and I said 'wow finally'. After a while they made up and she said she just missend him. I promissed mtself I will never comment whatever she tell me about them, unless in a good way.
Well... the point is that I am probably jellous, that she doesnt want to spent time with me anymore. Alway if I ask her out I give her to eventually pick the date, if nit today then maybe tomorrow etc y know introvert way :D And im trying to save this friendship? She is not the person busy 24/7, unless maybe when she is in uni or we count playing games as being busy. I play games too sometime.
Sometime it seems like she tries to avoid me and dont want to tell me anything. One day I was talking to her in cafee and she was just fidgeting with her phone. She didnt even like heck the socialmedia, just switching between random (system?) folders on the phone. When I asked abt it why she doesnt listen, she said she wanted to do sth but forgot what. Another time I havent seen her for months and she alway soent holidays 1 month her bf comes to her (he lives abroad already I guess) and I dont want to disturb them of feel like third wheel and the other month she come to him. So like week before she pnanned to go I asked her to go out next day. She said she cant. So asked another day, she answered : but I go to my bf. So I surprised that its that soon and sad I missed the oportunity: oh really? When? She: on Friday me: but its Monday(?)(no answer) so...? She: ught I know ;;; but lately I dont really feel like going anywhere :(
Well... maybe I'm childish but I felt sad.
I'm also jellous that they even celebrate each others bdays altought she never do that bc of religious reasons and I've always respected that.
Once I asked her what is with us, we barely talk for last few years and I feel like she is avoiding me. She had no Idea what I was talking about, she felt like everything was the same.
I was told to not have much hope or expectations toward her bu maybe try to text her or maybe arrange a meeting once in a while and try not to become bitter.
The other one sait that that how adulthood looks like, we become busier with private issues and so on and I may act childish and selfish, but as far as I know except for time she go to uni or to her bf she is not that busy, definitely not that busy not to have time to meet with me more than once in a whole year (or none) when we live ~20min apart by foot. I dont want to be burden to anyone or feel like third wheel so I dunno what to do. I have problem with finding friends, she was my only one friend (?) for years. I dont trust ppl easly
I wanted to do more things together outside since we both used to or still do soent too much time on the computer but well... you know, together is easier.
Since I have to do it on my own maybe you have some ideas? Thats stupid wuestion I guess since you dont know my environment. Jogging and biking wont work I guess since I dont have proper bike. I wanted to plant some flowers but I was afraid I screw everything up since im kida kid who grow up in the bubble and Im not sure how to do basics and nobody wanted to help me and its too late already... Walk is fine but I prefer places far from road and since I'm not supposed to go to the forest that I love I dont have many spots to go.
I am sorry for long post. Any even tiny help would be appreaciated. I hope thats not much of the problem, have a nice day or night :)
-PineconeAnon
I do think that it's time for you to let go of the friendship. I know that's hard to do but people grow apart and that's okay. It's okay. You'll be able to make better relationships and move forward but you have to learn to let go and keep walking forward. It sounds like you're holding onto this friendship because you want to keep going on like it's the past but...
It doesn't work like that. Change happens. It hurts sometimes but it's not a bad thing. You can reflect on this with time and learn how to be able to accept it. You need someone that wants to hang out with you and relax with you. It's not childish to be upset but it's important to see when people just... don't have time for you anymore and feelings change.
It just seems like you both have a fundamental misunderstanding and if you can't talk that through, then it's not working. You can try to talk about it but it seems like it'd be better to just let go. She doesn't think there's something wrong but you do. If you feel stress around her instead of friendship, it's not great.
But, that's up to you, you know? You decide your relationships what you want them to be.
I don't really have great advice for making friends as an adult. I'm not exactly going out and interacting with people. I can suggest finding a new set of friends online by joining Discords and interacting with the fandoms you're in because that's how I've made friends. It's easier to do that if you're anxious about making friends outside.
Try new hobbies. Take a deep breath. If you want to garden, try it out. You're not going to be perfect the first time. It's a learning process at anything and you have to just try. You don't get to live it if you don't try. You have to consider your limits and reflect on what is going to be the easiest thing to try.
It's never too late.
Try to start small and work your way up.

FAMILY
phillipe montagnier | 54
ameline montagnier | 46
marc montagnier | ✝
luc montagnier | 20
charles montagnier | 18
elias montagnier | 18
HISTORY
the montagnier family was originally located in the south of france until luc’s grandfather moved them to quebec. their empire was in manufacturing all kinds of weaponry and selling them to governments and other spy families and organisations. if you needed something a bit obscure or unique, this was the family you'd come to.
luc grew up in a fairly isolated countryside area in a family of four brothers who he loved for the first few years of his life. first was marc, shy and respectful, luc himself two years behind, and then another two years graced the family with twins; charles and elias who lived by their own rules. marc and luc had always been close, marc was the best big brother possible and luc loved him a lot.
eventually after being pitted and forced to compete against each other for so long, it got quite personal and their bonds started being tested. their mother turned a blind eye to their father's borderline abusive methods when luc overtook his older brother in their father’s tests and training. bruises and broken bones were only natural in training so there wasn't much she could say even if she wanted to.
from as long as he could remember, he'd been firing guns. there was a shooting range on their estate and they went on hunting trips, too. his dad often had him show customers the potential of their weaponry and so he'd always been thrusted into that life whether he wanted a say or not. it’s been clear since he was around fourteen that if anyone was taking over the family business it'd be him, not his older brother, marc.
this definitely caused somewhat of a rift between him and marc, as he'd end up getting much harsher punishments when luc would disarm or ground him.
luckily for luc, he did enjoy fighting and was exceptionally gifted in the life planned out for him. he was always the most determined to gain their father's approval, which definitely showed in their results and how obedient he was in front of the man. when he finally got what he wanted, he didn't quite expect it to mean what it did. it was rare but every now and then he would kill for his dad. whether it was someone who betrayed the family or a potential threat to their business, if his dad told him to, he would, no questions asked. it was during this time he was more excluded from training with his brothers since he would be with his dad instead.
SUICIDE TW !!!!!!
his oldest brother marc was sent to blackthorne once he was eighteen and ended up committing suicide at the end of his second year, with luc set to follow the next year. this news was shocking for the montagnier family as luc's father was bitterly embarrassed and disappointed by his firstborns' death, wanting to cover it up as a murder so it couldn't be tied to the family name with such dishonour. it quickly created a divide as charles and elias defended marc's actions and revealed he'd been struggling with depression for the majority of his life, much like they did, which was all unknown to luc, who, for the first time, felt the repercussions of his father's favouritism. he had a new found rebellion against him that was violent with them going at each other's throats for the foreseeable future. luc ended up avoiding his place at blackthorne in hopes to piss off his dad and becoming more reclusive and bitter as time went on.
he really took his brother's death personally, believing he was a factor in it and wishing he'd been there for him more closely. if anyone so much as mentions marc to him he will be on guard and very easily angered. i think before marc died he was very charismatic, egotistical at times and driven whereas now he’s lost a lot of his energy and is more negative & aloof.
the following year was Rough™. he was no longer his dad's golden boy and the family dynamic shifted a lot with marc's death as luc ended up protecting his younger twin brothers instead of beating them for their dad's favour. he's certain he'd have been disowned had his mother not aligned herself with the kids as well.
i think their family dynamic is kinda like the cha family from sky castle if anyone has seen it !
luc eventually decided to enrol in school late, only to end up at gallagher instead. which... i mean, i think before marc died he was excited about attending blackthorne. so he’s bit ??? uncertain about the girls school.
PERSONALITY
genuinely i think it comes down to so many factors, whether he’s in a good mood, who’s speaking to him etc but neutrally he’s quite charming, happy to mess about a bit but more or less takes most stuff too seriously. since he’s not around his dad i do think he will explore a lot more and seek out adventure and fun but if he’s got a test or something due the next day then he’ll bail early since he is defo the type to never let his grades or performance be ruined
he’s quite cocky + likes to win no matter what so yes he will ruin a friendship to beat u at monopoly. second place is last place in his head.
at his best he can be confident, alluring, courteous, loyal… at his worst he's aggressive, destructive, apathetic and always says shit he doesn't mean !!!! will he apologize ?? unlikely but he'll try n make it right once he’s calmed down
thinks the best way to deal with things is with his fists, he’s so EASY to snap and start a fight n he’ll.... maybe apologise for it
i think he defo likes to pretend he’s got no problems and so reverts to a social, supportive friend every once in a while. the type to be brutally honest !!
he’s a definite know it all, thinks he’s the dog’s bollocks, gods gift etc !!!!! doesn’t believe in god but still. I kinda see him a bit jocky idk why but more brooding n isolating 70% of the time bc he’s easily pissed off but when he’s having fUNNNNN he’s ok like a solid guy at times just easily angered
very flirty, he's a major ladies man despite actually being GAY. which is a secret. sh. only two people know he’s gay and that’s his current beard girlfriend ellie cavanagh and childhood friend regine ren. more ppl can defo find out in time and i’m sure ppl have speculations ? maybe have seen him hooking up with guys or something when he thought no one was looking etc probs think he’s bi who knows!!! but for now those two are the only people he’s actually spoken to about it!!!! so if anyone else tries he will deny it as he’s very against the idea of coming out so will not discuss it ty pls.
and it’s not that he doesn’t enjoy sleeping with girls, he’ll be having a great time regardless but he just aint abt to love them like that pls understand
still, he is in a current relationship with ellie who is acting as his beard for him. they have ‘ dated ’ before and are off and on a lot, so they probably seem pretty toxic tbh since ellie n him can clash n argue and he defo still hooks up with other girls despite being in a relationship so feel free to kill him for cheating !
wanted connections !!!
going off the last point, maybe some of ellie’s friends who come at him for how he seemingly treats her !!!
i'd love for blackthorne ppl to have known his brother, he'd have been around about 22/23 and a fourth year now if he was still alive so ?? it might help luc with some closure if he could talk about him since it happened at blackthorne
ppl to know the family, some family friends would be amazing !!! i feel regardless of alliances etc their family would have stayed as neutral as possible since they're selling weapons so they want all the customers.
so people that know HIM while he was growing up would be interesting esp those expecting him to have joined blackthorne when he was supposed to 2 years ago, and obvs him probably changing from who they knew him as to a more negative version now
might put a wc for his twin bros as they potentially joined his arrival at gallagher as first years too but who knows. they’d be 18 so if anyone wants a family friend connection that is around that age, maybe they were closer to the twins than luc ??
he sleeps with a lot of girls to kinda ‘make sure’ no one knows he’s gay as he defo doesn't feel comfortable with being out. the guys that he sleeps with he'll always pin it on being too drunk to remember or he'll threaten them if they told etc ?? he's very on edge about it and would only hook up super secretly sooo if anyone’s down for that with him
and then obvs need a lot of ladies he’d wanna sleep with to keep his image
previous ex gfs ?? from prep schools !!!!!!!
some positive influences would be good
bad influences as well bc tho he is a bit of a party guy, he doesn’t drink loads and he doesn’t do drugs !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but…. I mean i bet he could be convinced now he’s away from home so
study / sparring buddies !!
i’d love someone to teach him pop culture n normality !! his childhood was training and competing with his bros so he defo doesn’t watch many movies or tv or play games etc so ? someone making him watch all the harry potters ?? binging parks and rec ?? he’d find it so dumb but who wouldnt enjoy it ??

Masked Chapter Six
Summary: Patton, Roman, and Logan embark on the next part of their journey.
Word Count: 2305
Taglist: @deadpanstar @punknerdmusings @the-incedible-sulk @dragonsight9 @risiskifi @im-so-infinitesimal @thefallendog @entpscarleharrrr 
Chapters-  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10           Also on AO3!
Roman woke up to light filtering through the moss. A breeze swept through the room, chilling the air. He heard the vines rustle. Roman pushed himself up, and looked around. He had been the first to wake up. Virgil’s beds still lie empty. Roman couldn’t hide the disappointment and guilt he felt that the side never returned. Roman stood up, and changed into his prince outfit. He put on the belt, and slid the sword into the sheath once more.
The sudden movement woke Patton up. Patton blinked a few times and rose up as well. He greeted Roman cheerfully, and changed into his normal outfit with the cardigan draped around his shoulders.
Logan was the last to wake up. He had already changed into his outfit from last night. “Good morning,” Logan said to the two sides as he yawned. Logan winced as he stretched. The wounds over his body were still too fresh, and the cut on his hand had been thoroughly bandaged. Logan went to the side of his bed to re apply the bandages.
Roman silently admitted that he also ached all over. Roman groggily rubbed his eyes, thinking about Virgil. He had never seen if the other side had been hurt. What if he had been- and he was bleeding- 
Roman shook his head to push away the dark thoughts. Being anxious was Virgil’s job. Besides, like Malachi told them, he was probably being taken care of.
“I’m going out,” Roman announced to them, needing to clear his thoughts. Logan nodded, fixing up the rest of his cuts and scratches with Patton aiding him. Patton looked back and waved to Roman, before returning his gaze to Logan. Patton rested his hand on Logan’s shoulder, murmuring something to him. Logan smiled in response. Roman smirked. The two of them were cute together. He couldn’t help but think of Virgil as he turned away from them.
Roman brushed aside the vines and blinked a few times, letting his eyes adjust to the sudden brightness. To his surprise, Malachi was waiting for him outside the hut. “I need to speak with you guys, if you have the time,” he said.
Roman tilted his head to the side for a moment, before complying. “I’ll tell the others.”
Malachi nodded. “Good. You’ll all need to hear this,” he said with a sense of urgency.
Roman stepped back into the hut. Logan and Patton spun around at the sudden stream of brightness falling onto to them. “We need to talk to Malachi,” he explained. Patton shot a worried glance at Logan, who shrugged.
“What about?” Logan asked, straightening his tie.
“I don’t know. He said he’d tell us when we’re all there,” Roman responded. He saw Patton’s eyes momentarily flicker towards Virgil’s bed. Logan stood up, with Patton following a moment after. They each walked out of the hut, to see Malachi still standing nearby. “Should we go to your hut?” Roman asked.
Malachi shook his head. “Look at the skies, far past the Forest of Light,” Malachi commanded, gesturing to the clouds. Roman looked up and squinted. Dark clouds gathered in the skyline, far into the distance. They seemed to be spiraling towards a single waypoint.
“Where is that?” Roman asked, dreading that it was Ne’hiah once more.
“What is that?” Patton added worriedly.
“It’s over the Kingdom of Sands, built beside a river. All of the clouds are gathering atop the main city,” Malachi explained.
“What does that mean?” Patton asked.
“Nothing good,” Malachi replied, sighing. Sudden movement distracted all of the sides. An elf jumped out from behind Malachi, bounding towards the group. It was Andromeda. “I know you’ve met my daughter, Andromeda. She can see brief glimpses of the future.” Andromeda looked back at her dad shyly. “You can tell them,” he urged, resting his hands on his knees.
She considered her options for a moment, before spilling. “The corruption is spreading. Someone is bringing it there on purpose.” She squinted for a moment, focusing on something no one else could see. “The Shadow Master’s forces are going to take it over. You have to get there quickly,” she said looked back up at them, warily. Patton smiled encouragingly at her. Andromeda relaxed a little, and ran back to Malachi, who picked her up.
He held onto her as he continued. “It would take too long to get there on your own feet.” His eyes twinkled for a moment as they looked at each other in confusion. “Horses,” he explained. Understanding flashed through Logan’s eyes for a moment. Roman gasped in excitement. Malachi smiled at their reactions. “They’re very well behaved. You shouldn’t find it difficult to ride on them.” Malachi thought for a moment. “You should go now, however. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for us.” He bowed deeply. “Good luck, travelers.”
The three sides bowed respectfully together. “Thank you for your gifts, and taking care of us,” Roman said.
“We’ll miss you,” Patton added.
“Do stay safe,” Logan bid them farewell. Andromeda jumped down from Malachi to hug Patton. Patton pat her on the head as all the elves thanked them for what they had done, and bid them goodbye. Roman felt pride swell in his heart, followed by a sharp pang. He might miss them. Just a little.
He exited the camp, lagging behind Logan and Patton who were chatting away. Roman suddenly felt a hand tug his belt. He turned around, seeing Andromeda prodding him. She looked up at him, her eyes glazed over. “Don’t hurt him,” she said ominously. Roman felt chills creep up his spine, but he wouldn’t let the child see that. She quickly snapped out of her trance, and whispered an excited, “Goodbye!” and “Good luck!” as if nothing had happened.
Roman smiled emptily at her, and waved at her for the last time. Patton and Logan were waiting for him. He ran up to meet them.
“What held you back?” Logan asked, tilting his head to the side.
“Nothing,” he promised. The familiar, prideful glimpse in his eyes returned. “Let’s go ride into the sunset!”
“Actually, we’re going away from the sunset,” Logan corrected.
“Okay, Logic Book,” Roman sneered. Logan rolled his eyes, and Patton giggled at the pun. Roman looked at the entry of the forest where they had been last time. Three horses were hitched up to a fence post. He walked over, and mounted the pure white one. He checked the name tag. Maximus, it read. Roman’s eyes lit up. Just like in Tangled! Logan had mounted the brown horse with speckled white dots named Thistle. It had a glorious mane, and a very healthy tail. Patton got on the horse that was dark gray, with lighter gray tints along his back and ear tips.
Patton immediately became closely acquainted with his horse. They were the perfect team. Maximus, however, was obviously headstrong. He ignored all of Roman’s commands, instead going off on what the other horses were doing. Logan and his horse, Thistle were the first to race into the forest, with Patton following closely behind. Roman snapped the reins, waiting for Maximus to go. Maximus snorted and begrudgingly ran after them.
Together, they all ran through the forest. Roman noticed that the darkness being fought back with varying degrees of success. Wildlife was finally returning, and the bleak and dark outlook was replaced by sunshine. Even with the light returning, the closer they got to the Kingdom of Sands, the darker it became.
Roman’s horse was the first to break free of the forest. A few vines had draped over Maximus’s head, but the horse had paid no attention to it. Now that they were free, the sight was rather… breathtaking. Roman felt as if he had entered a Studio Ghibli film.
The dark clouds had formed in a spiral shape from the top the tallest tower in the center of the town. Wind battered Roman’s sides. Darkness had spread all around them. Little to no sunlight peeked through. The sides were just barely too late. They saw shadowy figures streaking over the wall into the city. Roman’s grip on Maximus’s reins tightened. He looked over at Patton and Logan, who were staring up at the sky.
“We need to get in there, now!” Roman yelled to them over the deafening wind. Maximus’s hooves stormed over the hard ground. Sand stretched on endlessly to his left, while a river forked at his right. It led into the city. Life grew all along the side of the river.
Patton nodded, with a determined glint in his eyes. Logan looked over at Roman. “All of us need to save the people inside,” he reminded him. “We need to be able to fend off the shadow creatures. Let’s go together!”
Roman nodded. “We need to be careful! Whatever is in there definitely doesn’t play nice,” he yelled over the wind roaring in his ears. Logan squinted and nodded back. He held onto Thistle as they reached the gate. Patton was following them last. He didn’t want to be too hard on his horse.
The gate had already been opened, much to their surprise. They raced through, to see utter chaos unfold before them. Shadow creatures were destroying the city itself. All of the homes, walls, and paths were being engulfed in purple flames. People ran in every direction, trying to get to safety. “We need to help them in this discord,” Logan chided, dismounting quickly. Roman hopped off of his horse to join Logan. “They’re scared. We must guide them out of the city and away from the danger.”
Roman nodded. “Let’s do this!” He said, determinedly. Patton joined them as they ran forward, looking where to start. A shadow creature loomed behind them, and raised a claw to attack. Logan instantly alerted Roman, who spun around and deflected the oncoming blow with his sword. A bit of a tower crumbled beside him and fell down. He could hear the crackling of the flames in the background.
Roman pushed back the monster, and raised his sword, slicing through its form. The shadow monster looked down in shock, before fading. He turned around, and joined Patton and Logan as they ran to a cathedral. The structure was completely falling apart. People were still inside of it. They had to get to safety, and soon.
Logan made an attempy to kick open the doors, but they wouldn’t budge. Roman looked up to see a hole in the roof. “There! Patton, fly through and move whatever is blocking the door.” Patton nodded and jumped into the air, flying through the hole.
Patton looked down through the hole. He could see people cowering in fear beneath the form of another shadow monster, standing over them hungrily. He jumped through, falling to the ground. He picked up a stone which had fallen from the crumbling roof, and chucked it at the monster. It staggered a bit, hissing at him. The people glanced at each other, some of them splitting up to surround the monster in a circle.
They ran around, each grabbing their own rocks, taking after Patton’s example. Another rock was thrown at him, then another, confusing the monster. In its rage, it ran after one woman. The other people quickly retaliated by throwing rocks at it once more. It let out a furious roar in its confusion. Patton took his chance, and ran to the door. A piece of wood had kept it from opening. No wonder the people couldn’t undo it; it was too high up reach.
Patton flew up, and undid the latch. He heaved the piece of wood, and dropped it down. The door was barged open. Logan and Roman fell in. Patton grinned. “Nice of you to drop by!” Roman chuckled a bit before he noticed the shadow creature. He sprinted on over as it was standing over one of the people who were throwing rocks. The others threw more rocks, but it had ignored them.
Roman jumped over a pew and struck his sword in the shadow monster’s back. It flinched, and dissipated. Patton watched, while Logan stood in silence. The person cowering in fear relaxed, realizing he was safe. He thanked Roman and Patton.
He stood up and dusted himself off. “You need to get out of here,” Roman ordered. The others looked at each other doubtfully. “We will guide you safely. I promise,” he added. The people all stood up and gathered beside the entrance. Logan was the first to walk out, leading the way.
“Roman!” Logan yelled as a shadow griffon swooped down out of thin air. Roman was by his side in an instant. The griffon reared back, and prepared to strike. Roman cut through it with his sword. The griffon glitched out for a moment, before becoming whole again. It smacked Roman and scraped his arm. Roman fell down, clutching his arm in pain. It was in the same spot that Ne’hiah had cut him. The wound reopened and started to bleed once more.
One person threw a rock at it again, but it didn’t even notice. Roman raised his sword in defense, not giving up despite his wound, before he heard a loud screeching. Patton had held a torch up and swept it through the shadow, instantly melting its form.
Roman let out the breath he didn’t realize he had been holding, and shakily stood up. “Thank you Patton!” Roman said, exasperated. He caught his balance, gripping his injured arm. Patton held out his arms, smiling reassuringly and pulled Roman into a hug. The people stood idly by, letting them have their moment.
“Hey,” he heard a voice speak in front of him. He looked up. He knew that voice. Everyone knew who it was. It couldn’t be…
“Virgil?” Patton gasped.

why aren’t the admins active or involved at all? neither of you are ever on the dash or in the ooc or in the chat and it’s kind of concerning
Hi, curious anon! I’m assuming you might mean my activity or ‘involvement’ since MJ doesn’t have a character currently in Toxic City yet, so, I will be answering your question and addressing your concerns to the best of my ability!  – Syd
Firstly, I want to address this concern by first stating that while–yes, this is a concern, MJ and I are not obligated to discuss our personal lives to those questioning our activity (on any platform), especially if it’s on anon. I understand the need for anonymity, which is why I’ll be going ahead to answer your question, but we hope that next time a concern might cross your mind, you’ll be able to ask us through our character blogs or our main’s IM instead. That being said…
While I am online every day, I don’t do replies every day. It’s not a choice I make, it’s usually due to my access to reliable WiFi, a laptop that has a serious freezing problem, as well as some personal physical issues that prevent me from sitting at a computer for long hours, every day. Oh, and real life too–it calls to us, surprisingly.
As for the OOC, I do my best to be as inclusive with the members as best as I can, but there’s only so much you can do with the OOC. Not everyone replies to every post, and while there are plenty of times I want to post / rant / make updates, I often digress. Most of the time I feel like it’s a bit useless (for me personally - I’m a little self-depreciating that way, haha) to notify members of every little thing I’m doing or thinking. If you want to plot or chat with me, IMs are my safe space. They’re a million times better for me to get to know other members, and I often prefer it to programs like Discord. Sometimes, you’ll have an OOC that’s boppin’, sometimes you don’t. That being said, MJ and I are two, of the plethora of members we have to keep you entertained.
As for the Discord, I chose to not join the chat for personal reasons. It’s not to mean I don’t want to get to know the members, I really do! I’d hate to play the anxiety card, but I don’t have a good history with ‘chats’ like Discord, because they make me feel overwhelmed and I get terribly anxious and wind up not wanting to talk to anyone/post anything in the chat. This goes for group chats, especially. They’re extremely daunting to the both of us, which is why MJ and I didn’t create an official Discord for the roleplay, nor did we consider changing our minds when we were asked about it before the roleplay opened. The members created the Discord, which doesn’t bother us at all! If it’s what’s most comfortable for our members, we won’t take that away.
Again, this is a personal issue that I don’t expect everyone to understand, but I do understand your concern. I wish I was as extroverted to join Discord as well as hitting up everyone’s IMs every day because I understand the importance of an admin’s communication with their members. However, I hope you can also understand where I come from, and if you had asked me off the main’s anon and come to me personally, I would tell you the same thing. 
As for MJ, you will be seeing her on the dash soon! She’s currently cooking up a bio to finally join us, as it was her initial intention. When this roleplay launched two years ago, it has always been MJ’s plan to watch the dash first and join later. The reasons aren’t deep or malicious, it’s a personal preference (as goes the dash activity, the OOC, and the chat). As for Discord, MJ is in the same exact boat as I am. She reached out and downloaded Discord for the chance to get to know the members personally since she doesn’t have a character (not to mention this being totally out of her comfort zone). However, while she loves the chat and practically tells me most of what you guys chat about, MJ also has obligations and responsibilities that hinder her from being an entirely active figure in the roleplay. She’s told me she’s been watching the dash constantly, making it a nightly ritual to catch up on all threads and drafting ideas for events and plot drops based off of them. Of course, she wouldn’t be able to catch everything since she is only human, which is why we’re devising a method that will help us with that (which will be disclosed in a future post). The stress of running a heavily plot-based roleplay, along with keeping up with in-character interactions and OOC interactions on top of real life duties can get exhausting but she’s still pulling through.
Finally, MJ and I are both very anxious people (lol) with very big ideas and hearts to match, so I hope you understand where we’re coming from. Please keep in mind that we’re running this roleplay too, and it’s not easy. May we remind you: we’re only in our second week of Toxic City’s opening— it’s too early to assume that we’re not “active or involved” when we’re busy putting our hearts into this up and coming event, and the roleplay as a whole. You lose your faith in us too soon.
We hope that this post has addressed your concerns fully as we will not be discussing this again in the future unless brought up OFF anon.

hi yujacha!! this is probably a weird question to ask lol but im going to see the happy party train tour live viewing on the 14th and my friend was supposed to come with but they dropped out last second so looks like i'll be going alone TT but do you have any advice for someone whos never gone to a concert or live screening alone?? aaa during the first live i went w my sister but im a total socially anxious mess and i get really nervous if a stranger sits next to me so its my first time alone TT
Hi there! I have no idea why everyone’s been telling me that their questions are weird lol - your question is great, in fact! Technically, I went to the delayed viewing of 1st Live in San Diego alone as well, since I was meeting ONIBE members for the first time ever back then and wasn’t sure if I would be able to get along with them. Fortunately, I discovered that the LL community is pretty friendly and ended up having a blast!
This is gonna get really long, so let me put a summary at the top.
tl;dr: There are lots of online resources to help you learn about viewings, from Team ONIBE’s guides to the meetup channels for the Love Live subreddit. It’s also no problem to go alone to a DV, as you have the potential to make plenty of new friends and get pumped up about the performance alongside LLers who share the same passion for Aqours.
For first-timer viewing advice, check out Team ONIBE’s concert guide! It contains a general checklist of what to bring (water, batteries, towel, etc.), instructions on how to use a kingblade, and some general etiquette about concerts.
I would also highly recommend looking over Team ONIBE’s 2nd Live callbook - the callbook’s been recently updated with details from the Saitama Day 2 setlist, as that’s the performance that’ll be screened at the delayed viewings on the 14th! It’s not mandatory to learn the calls, but in my opinion, it’s a lot more fun when you can join in on the hype along with the multitudes of fans who will be chanting and waving their lightsticks along with the performance. Don’t worry about having to memorize the calls exactly - once you’re at the viewing, it’s pretty simple to follow along with the crowd.
I believe there are some kind fans out there who are sort of taking charge as the community leaders for each DV, and have printed out large batches of these callbooks to pass out to LLers. If you want to make sure you have your own copy (IIRC they were in very high demand during the San Diego DV for 1st Live and the AWM live at AX2017), feel free to print one out on your own!
If you’re interested in making some new friends so that you won’t be completely surrounded by strangers, you can always check out the /r/LoveLive subreddit and Discord server! The server has created specific channels for each viewing so that people can plan meetups, while the subreddit has some threads scattered around it with various people asking for tips about LVs and such.
If you’re not interested in that (which would be understandable, as the /r/LL Discord server tends be be a bit…chaotic), let me offer you some personal advice. I unfortunately can’t say anything on the social anxiety side because I’m pretty good with talking to strangers (I kind of have to be after overcoming stage fright for debate club + needing to cold call people for work), but I can tell you that my experience with live events tends to be that most of the LLers I’ve met (including myself) are in fact socially awkward, haha. Just remember that a lot of people are just like you and meeting other LLers for the first time, so don’t worry too much.
Here’s my general tip on making friends: gather up your courage, approach someone, and find some kind of connection. Once you do that, you’re set.
For example, in my very first class on my very first day of high school, I approached a girl who was by herself (so that I wouldn’t awkwardly be third-wheeling an established friend group). I said, “Hey, I heard that this computer class we’re in requires a lab partner. You look like an okay person. Wanna team up?” She ended up becoming my first friend in high school, and we had tons of fun for the next four years.
I did the same thing in college - as an icebreaker, I asked someone if I could see their driver’s license (since a lot of people you meet in college hail from different locations) and compare it to my own. I then found out that she and I had the same exact birthday, and I told her, “Hey, we’re twins! Wanna eat lunch together later?” And to this day, she’s a dear friend who still refers to me as “Twin”.
I know that I’m making it sound really simple and easy, but it honestly can be if you put yourself in this mindset. Luckily for you, you already have a connection to people at the DV - you’re all LL fans!
Find someone who’s wearing merch of your favorite girl (and on that note, it’s a good idea to bring any nesos or other LL merch with you to DVs; they’re a great conversation starter) and gush about her with them. Or, approach a cosplayer and compliment them! They’re generally pretty happy folks. You can also try to approach a fellow newbie on their own, and see if you two can team up. I promise you, DVs are 10x more fun when you have someone to be excited with during the screening.
The point of a DV and all these community meetup channels is for people to have fun with others who share their love for Aqours. Instead of seeing everyone as strangers, just think of them as potential friends you have yet to get to know better! Other tips:
Ask people where they’re from - some people at DVs are locals, while others fly in from far-off locations!
Talk about the upcoming screening. What are you looking forward to the most? Do you have a favorite song? Is there a costume you’re excited to see? Who’s your favorite seiyuu?
Approach someone who looks experienced. They’ll likely be more than happy to help you out and introduce you to the finer points of attending a DV! :D
Another conversation starter - SIF. I saw a few people playing the game while waiting for the viewing to start, and had a friendly chat with one of them about how difficult it was to play with cut-ins.
Don’t fret that you absolutely have to make a new friend for the DV. The atmosphere of the live is infectious, and everyone just ends up being a huge incoherent mess of screaming and cheering anyway, haha.
Feel free to send me another ask or PM me if you have more questions! ( ・∀・ )ゞ
And as a final note - I’ll actually be going to not one, but two DVs this time around (RIP my bank account)! I’ll be at San Diego early on before driving up to Los Angeles. I’ll make a separate blog post with details sometime close to the 14th so that anyone who’s interested can say hi to me.
If you happen to be attending either of those screenings, I’ll be more than happy to make you feel welcome! Just be warned that I’ll be next to some ONIBE members, and we’ll all be screaming our heads off because we’re huge seiyuu fans, haha.
