How about RobRae + “Walk with me.” For the starter prompts :0

(send me characters/ships + prompts!)

“Raven!”

She turned around at the sound of her name, seeing the Boy Wonder jogging down the hallway towards her. “Robin. What’s going on?”

“Nothing, just, uh…��� He’d caught up to her and scratched the back of his neck. “Well…walk with me for a minute, will you?”

“Sure,” she said hesitantly. Though she had no reason not to, they were obviously going in the same direction, something about the way he was acting was a little strange. Like he was nervous about something.

Raven was glad her hood was already up, because she suddenly felt anxious. He’d better start talking soon or she would assume the worst.

“So…” Robin started, hands in his pockets. “...we might be having a…visitor. Soon.”

She raised an eyebrow. Okay. Already feeling better about this conversation. “Who?”

“Someone from my old life.” He was glancing up and down the hallway like one of the other Titans might overhear.

“Your old life,” Raven repeated. “So…Batman?”

“Shh!” Robin put a gloved finger to her lips, just for a moment. “I don’t want anyone else to know until I’m sure he’s coming. All he made was an offhand comment, not a plan.”

“Alright, sure.” She was once again glad for the hood, because she knew she was blushing a little bit from that physical contact. “Why tell me, then?”

He chuckled. “Well…I wanted to tell someone. And you know my history better than anyone else here,” he answered with a shrug. “Plus I trust you not to say anything.”

Why did normal sentences sound like charming compliments coming from his mouth? Raven frowned at that thought, frustrated by her nonsensical crush. “Did he say why he might visit? Or is he just checking on you?”

“Convenience, I think,” Robin answered quickly. “He has a business meeting in the city so it wouldn’t be a long trip.”

They’d reached Raven’s room and stopped walking, but Raven wasn’t sure if they were done with the conversation. It was so rare for Batman or Gotham City to come up with Robin, despite the formative years he’d spent there. She always assumed it was a sore subject - that he didn’t want to talk to or about Batman or Batgirl or anyone else from that part of his life. Maybe she’d misinterpreted.

“Are you…excited?” she asked quietly. “I can’t really tell how you’re feeling.”

“I’m honestly not sure. I haven’t seen him in a really long time.” Robin exhaled loudly through his nose. “I haven’t wanted to see him for a long time, either.”

She understood that feeling very well - it was exactly how she’d felt about her mother after leaving Azarath. “Just let me know if I should make him feel welcome or not,” she said with a small smile.

Robin laughed, a sound that made Raven’s heart jump just the slightest bit. “Thanks, Raven. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from him again.”

She just nodded in response, giving him a small wave as she finally entered her bedroom. The two of them had grown a lot closer ever since she entered his mind - which made sense, of course, but the butterflies in her stomach couldn’t be settled with logic. Being Robin’s confidante was still something she was getting used to.

It was nice, though. Being trusted so fully and completely. She’d never felt that from anyone else in her life - certainly not anyone on Azarath, and all the other Titans had had at least a few moments of concern during their time together.

But not him.

🎵, 🧸, 🌴, and 🎤?

thank u iz!!!! i wrote way too much for this whoops

🎵 Last song you listened to?

Nitrous Gas - Frightened Rabbit

(i would say dont psychoanalyse me from this but i was switching from my FR playlist back into my everything playlist only to immediately skip around and stop on two of the most miserable FR songs so. maybe you can judge me a little)

🧸 Favorite place to nap?

my bed for sure!! ha i dont usually feel comfortable sleeping anywhere else unless im sick. love getting under the duvet and curling up. id stay there forever if i could, honestly. ive got like, 5 semi decorative blankets on my bed to complete the Nest vibes. ideal.

🌴 Desert island item?

oh well you Know its a sewing item of some kind! i mean ideally id take a whole sewing kit but if the parameters are narrower than that, a pack of needles! i could figure out how to make threads and fabrics and all that but needles would probably be significantly harder! my one little luxury.

(if we are talking something that has to have no practical purpose- first of all, lame, who would i be without sewing? but i guess! my childhood teddy bear. he is such a great comfort to me in life :) )

🎤 Is there a song you know all the lyrics to?

ha well i know all the words to the aforementioned nitrous gas- id say i know at least most of the lyrics to their songs.

there are Definitely other artists i know most the lyrics to also, if ive listened to a song enough times and the lyrics are clear, i know them, but theres also no other obvious examples come to mind! probably some the amazing devil stuff, the mountain goats etc etc.

also a lotta. the stuff ive been hearing for years in the background of my life- pink floyd, meatloaf, all kinds of more 'classic rock' my parents listened too. just. sorry this is such an extensive answer but music is so important to me! remembering lyrics is one of the few things my brain actually cooperates on consistently so i know! so many lyrics even if i forget when the song isnt playing

~ 💖 ASK GAME 💖 ~

[carpsurprise]

i wrote this literally ages ago and saved it in my drafts because i knew, one day, i wouldn’t be writing much.... and i answered so many asks yesterday y’all deserve something. sorry for clogging up y’alls feed <3 anyways here’s a leah writing! bc i realized i have almost nothing written for her haha oops

plot: the farmer, tired and disappointed in themselves, comes across leah relaxing in the forest. she comforts them until they have the strength to continue on.

word count: 928

notes: hehe i dont know what this is im quite tired... but tw: alcohol!! nothing excessive, but leah has a lil glass of wine while she spits some life advice

The farmer’s legs ached with each step they took on the uneven dirt of the forest, the shooting pain up the side of their thighs nagging at the back of their mind. They were working themselves nearly half to death in preparation of the next season that steadily crept up as the days passed. Foraging today had been a failure, only adding itself to the list of minor headaches and complaints that were beginning to sprout across the back of the farmer’s head. Caked in dirt and sweat, each footstep was heavier than the last from their aggravation.

A song, sung by a broken and cracking voice, carried from the river to the forest’s clearing, causing the farmer to stop in thought for a moment. Leah was laid down next to the river, propping her head up on one hand with her ankle resting atop her other knee, her foot bobbing up and down to her own song. The farmer had walked up behind her interest, seeing the matching bob of her head as she sang, and the half-empty glass of wine held loosely in her other hand. Her song had not stopped when she turned her head to see who was blocking the warming sunlight from her body, throwing the farmer a quick smile.

They had taken it upon themselves to sit next to her, wanting to rest their aching legs before walking another step. The river bubbled with lazy movement, no sign of jumping fish to catch for any extra gold. The farmer had let out a labored sigh after a moment, throwing their head back to focus on the sound of the river and birds.

“What’s wrong?” Leah asked, finally slowing her song down to a hum.

The farmer shook their head. “Tired. All I’ve been doing is trying to get more money.”

She continued to hum, throwing her head along with her own song. “Well,” she interrupted herself, looking out to the river, “when was the last time you got to relax?”

The farmer stifled a laugh, not remembering the last occasion they had to simply sleep in. Their noise was enough of an answer for Leah and her easy temperament, making her close her eyes before opening them to see the farmer. She was looking up at them, her head thrown back in a position that was surely going to make her sore. Though, it was evident she didn’t care.

“Didn’t you come to the valley to get away from the pursuit of money? The effect it has on us? To become one with nature?”

The farmer was silent.

“Take some time to smell the flowers…  look at the clouds… move with the ocean, you know?” She took another sip of her wine. “Don’t lose sight of why you’re here. Not just in Pelican Town, but on the Earth in general. Learn to appreciate the little things and you’ll be much happier.”

The farmer nodded, avoiding her eye contact. She had thought it a lost cause, bringing her head back up to gaze at the water with a small grunt. Leah swirled her glass, watching the deep red move with it. “Need to get more wine, my glass is half-full.”

Her comment hadn’t made it to the farmer’s attention, their eyes steadily trained on the languid movements of the water in front of them. Leah’s deduction had created a pain in the farmer’s core, perfectly explaining the recent unhappiness and poor mood they had been suffering with for the past two weeks. A few guilty thoughts had flashed through the farmer’s mind, quickly thinking of the promise they had made to their grandfather, and the idea that their connection to the valley had faded in the pursuit of money, just as they had despised about their old life.

Leah rolled her eyes, unknown to the farmer, but quickly threw a glance at them over her shoulder. “Quit thinkin’ so much about it,” she shifted her body slightly against her picnic blanket, “everyone gets caught up in stuff that’s not good for them. Just try to remind yourself why you’re here. I have to do it too, every so often.”

“Yeah,” the farmer nodded, “you’re right.”

“I know I am,” she teased, finally putting her glass down and sitting up. Her eyes trailed to the trees of the forest, then to the nearly empty bag of foragables next to the farmer. “Whoops, sorry. I did some foraging this morning, if you need anything I’ll give it to you.”

The farmer shook their head, struggling to get back onto their own two feet. “No, I’ll be fine. Think I’m gonna go sit with the chickens or something. Or maybe get some sleep.”

Leah looked up at them with a friendly smile. “Sounds like a plan. I’ll see you around, though, I hope you get to feeling better.”

“I’m sure I will in no time,” they smiled down at Leah, turning on their aching feet back to the north farm entrance. The birds chirped just a little louder to them as the crunch of sticks lining the forest floor cracked underneath the weight of their feet. With a sigh, the farmer looked up to the sky only to be met with white, puffy afternoon clouds. The clouds moved just as slow as the river had, leading the farmer to think that they should be moving the same pace as everything else around them.

[what-kinda-fuckery]

Christian: Practice practice practice

Stephanie: just shove it in your cheek. But Really that wasn’t supposed to happen

Anthony’s nickname in the rehearsal room was little bananas because he had to gather up all the pieces of stuff after Stephanie shoved the table over with her rear.

Everyone: WHAT

- They still get fan art

Someone recreated the whole soundtrack 8bit and also with KAZOOS

Christian: That’s a question only you can answer

- Betsys husband came in everyones like BETSY LOOK OUT

Christian: that scared the shit out of me

- Betsy: Steve (Steven Sondheim) comes to the door I call him steve

Into the woods is the reason Betsy is in theatre

- Betsy: Andrew was nervous singing at the tonys for Book of Mormon and he got dry mouth he sang like 😬I BELIEVE and he licked his lips so much during the song.

[zephyr-94]

barista!jaemin

inspired by the one and only, puff live!

a/n: this is my first ever fic omg pls spare me with my low writing skills cause ive literally never done this fjskdjdhjdks okay i just love na jaemin periodt. (after writing: ITS VERY JUMPY AND LENGTHY I DIDNT PLAN TO MAKE IT LIKE THIS DJSKJSJSS)

so like your aunt owns a cafe which is in the middle of the city

and you live a lil outside just cause you know, school n shit

you visit her so often cause its a small cafe and it calms you down whenyou need a short break from everything

its weird thats its in the middle of the city but its still calming right?

well okay so like you know those small streets down the neighbourhoods?

the ones you dont really go unless you are rlly feeling adventurous n shit, your aunt’s cafe is in one of those streets

okay longass context down

and at school, you are in a photography club,,, or technically you just learn photography from your teacher after school but its not a whole club extravaganza

just cause your school kinda demands an extra curricular after the first year

but it feels really suffocating to be forced to do smth as a group/with people you arent as familiar with,,,,

so you “signed up” for the smallest club: [photography theory]

it was about time you start doing your hobby-ish thing at school and the tutor was cool with you being practically the only student in the club lmao so everything was going well but

youve never rlly done anything big yourself and your school friends havent pushed you to do smth either

so you were kind of looking to at least take part in one out-of-class project initiated by students maybe

and theres this big school newspaper club/writers’ club,,,, and you find out that they are like !! photographers & stories wanted !!

and you ?? at first but apparently its a project where like students get to submit their fav pic & write a mini article about “your place of comfort”

cause the topic of the month is mental health/dealing with stress and the newspaper club wants a students’ view on it, instead of just “meditation” as a topic

then you just have that cafe in your mind like,,, how you would love to shoot the street light shining into the cafe from afar and how calm that place makes you feel,,,

basically you just love your auntie’s cafe lmao

so then you go on about maybe joining it,,, but then you be indecisive cause youve never actually taken a photo professionally you just have a prolonging passion for it,,,

and your teacher is like “y/n idk why you are contemplating no ones gonna judge you just try smth new, go take the chance if you are feeling like it”

we love a supportive johnny, oh yes your english teacher is your photography “club” tutor,,, self proclaimed club

actually there have been many opportunities in the past with taking photos for projects like this one but you just stayed away cause it didnt “motivate” you to take photos for it

so johnny’s words kinda pushed your back n you felt like this was the right thing :))

so then you visit your auntie on the weekends asking maybe if you can take pics & ask her a couple questions about this place

and shes like ofc!! wanna see how you capture this place :))

so then you do this whole process and you submit the article & photos,,,,,

which ends up getting a whole page???

and you are like wh a t

newspaper club: oh you submitted many such pretty pictures & your comment felt very genuine

and you :)) but damn a whole page,,,, you is a lil anxious djskdjdh now the entire schools now going to know you

johnny the hype man teacher: see i told you it was going to turn out nice

and then kaboom, your article lowkey blows up lmao

your auntie is calling you up like “y/n!! so many customers came today!! and a lot of them are wearing the same uniform as you, they must be the students from your school!!”

and shes so happy so you are happy af

but then you remember like,,,, shes never had a part timer,,,,,

and she continues to manage the place by herself after it gets popular among the students,,,,

?? auntie,,, you never take a break ??

shes like maybe ill think about hiring someone?? and you are like, that would be good for you :)) i will be less worried about your health!!

whoop guess who got hired

and after youve had that^ conv, you had constant classes n group projects n shit so you literally had no time,,,

two weeks later, kinda highkey stressed

you decide to go make a quick visit to auntie before going to the library to study

and you peek,,, to see not your auntie,,,,

but a boy?? 

just standing behind the counter,,, no auntie to be seen but a beautiful boy???

before the opening hours,,,, he?? must be the part timer,,,

and once he notices you by the door,

he just smiles at you,,, so brightly,,,,

wow youve never seen such a pretty face,,,

you actually like forget to open the door you are just staring from outside the cafe,,,,

and he just waves,,, and you snap back to reality like oh shit did i just stare at someone for a solid minute

welp that was embarrassing djkdjdfj

he opens the door for you and goes “hey you must be y/n :))”

“the only person who comes before 9am, thats you isnt it?”

and you just ?¿ confusion??¿

“auntie told me about it :)) hi, nice to meet you, im jaemin!!”

you are still confused but you just shake hands next to the counter,,,

and as you take a seat

jaemin just makes a smol run to the other side and hes like

“you came just in time, i want you to try my latte!!”

jaemin serves a cup of latte with a leaf art

this boy just served a latte first thing after shaking hands i-

you take a sip from the cup

and you are like,,, so auntie hired an experienced boy,,,,

“its really good,,,” it has the same comforting taste you always love

and jaemin just has the biggest smile :)))) you know his smile where the ends just curl in, yes that one

him beaming like that just makes you giggly inside,,,,

you ask him “so uh um im guessing you are the part timer??”

“yes!! i didnt introduce myself properly did i! i started working here two weeks ago :))

ive been coming here for quite a while now so im happy i got the chance!!”

and you ?¿ “ive never seen you here??” you are the most frequent customer youve gotta have seen him before fjsksj

hes like “oh um i always came at 9pm on a friday, after everyone leaves and the whole neighbourhood gets quiet”

you just :o

and come to think of it, you’ve never visited here on a friday night,, cause you know, friday evening is your im not doing anything tonight kinda me time lmao

inside you are kinda happy that someone who knows this place got hired like its a special place to you so

tbh you were kinda anxious even though you trust your aunt,,,,,

and jaemin hurriedly goes “oh and also auntie is taking a break today, shes out to the market so im gonna take over until she returns in the afternoon”

djskdj auntie why didnt she tell you lmao

“im sorry if you needed anything specific from her,,, you should stay for a while until she comes back maybe?”

and you are like,,, “oh that would be great,,, but unfortunately i have to go to the library,,,,”

jaemin: ): he pout

“im so glad you came today tho!! i wanted to see you :) auntie has told so many thing about you”

“wait,, what has she told you,, omg”

apparently shes told jaemin

a) reason why this cafe recently became a popular hideout cafe for students because you wrote a school article bout it

b) that you do photography

c) and that this cafe is your break time so you never study here and auntie loves listening to you talk about school n what not

and then you are like !!

“wait so then you dont go to our school ,,,um are you also a student?”

and you panic a little cause i mean you just met him but you literally know nothing and you mightve assumed things fjsksj

and jaemin tells you “ah yes i go to a hospitality school downtown” “ohh”

and from there he just starts talking about his school and what he studies

he asks you about school but jaemin is extra excited about his hospitality course hes all !! :))!!

and you are so hooked on jaemin talking about his school you forget an hour passes by,,,,

[time to open the cafe]

then the customers start coming in

and you are like “oh sorry ive just bothered you during the preparation time,,,,, it was nice meeting you!! gotta go now :))”

and you rush out cause all you planned to do was give your auntie a little visit

also you dont want to bother jaemin cause its hes gonna handle the place alone for a couple hours

you wave a smol see you soon and

jaemin just does a little chuckle,, and hes like waving so widely fjsksj does he know other people can see him

and thats how your first day with jaemin went

later that day you return home thinking like,,, did you just get so excited to converse with someone who you juSt met,,,

na jaemin’s power

and jaemin on the other hand, is thinking about how beautiful you looked today

just that short while but it made him so happy

hes thinking about you all week uwu

so next week you visit again, expecting to see your auntie

and maybe also that gleaming boy

peeking through before the opening hours

the moment jaemin realises you hes like “y/n!!” what a shining boy

and aunties like “oh y/n right you met him last week when i was out right”

that morning you just talk to auntie about what shes been missing on after you went on a busy week

mind that jaemin is literally just listening to you & auntie talk

and he enjoys it cause you talk so comfortably in front of her :))

you decide to stay the whole day to give yourself a break

which meant you moved to your usual spot by the window

and auntie serving you (free) vanilla latte

you take out your camera and just start adjusting the lenses, trying to find the right frame

customers come and go so you dont get to talk to jaemin a lot that day

but its not like you came here for him,,,, right?¿??¿??

while you were thinking all that

jaemin was asking about you all day like

“so y/n’s favourite is vanilla?”

“does y/n prefer a latte over cappuccino?”

“i want to serve y/n something,,,, what would be the best??”

auntie: how many times did he mention y/n today omg

and as auntie answers

jaemin is thinking like

i wanna see y/n smile

and the entire day your auntie is like !!he :)))))

lmao same auntie same

so when the peak hours finish she goes

“i can take care of everything now, go talk to y/n”

and jaemin just smiles brighter than ever

so when he comes around, you startle

but it puts a smile on your face

because hes brought your favourite cake and just a smiling jaemin in front of you uwu

you both get to know more about each other like

how theres this two boys named chenle & jisung in the preparatory course whom he adores to death

or like

theres this jeno boy whose jokes suck jeno i love you

with a bonus of

you talking about how johnny’s english class is nothing but a comedian’s lesson

so that day went great

and now that you are comfortable

you visit the cafe to talk with jaemin more

even when you have a chill no stress week

it just makes you feel lighter by coming to the cafe now

and your auntie is hella happy that you two are getting along so well

it continues for weeks

just you and jaemin talking from time to time when the peak hours are over or before the cafe opens

you became best pals basically

he encouraged you to join more school projects cause hes sure your photography is worth the chance

you giving him daily support when he feels like he isnt doing the best for his course

sometimes when your aunt had to leave for a couple hours near closing time

you two just stayed there talking for a couple hours giving comfort to each other

late night lattes and cakes

also one time you got so excited from the bestest grades you got you might have hugged him without thinking oops

and one day, jaemin’s friend renjun is there when you come after school

and hes like “hi uh dont mind me im just here a bit because jaemin has to go somewhere after this and i dont want him to be late”

so you just,,, chill as jaemin kinda rushes

and when he goes to the storage room, you just see renjun getting along with the auntie lmao

auntie: “so i got offered this contract with the new type of beans? and idk if i should take it because that would mean i have to go out of the city,,,,”

renjun: “for how long?”

auntie: “two weeks maybe”

renjun: “oh thats fine, dont worry about it. jaemin can take over that. next two weeks right? his mandatory work experience ends this week”

so thats how renjun signed jaemin up to work alone for auntie without his consent

and aunties like “y/n!! it would be so much for just jaemin, you should help him :) your break starts next week right?”

so you also got signed up to this thing

fast forward to first day of break

aka the first time you “work” there

you are nervous and jaemin can feel it

“dont worry y/n, ill do all the talking and coffee, you just have to serve & clean!!”

so you try to calm down a bit

not to mention that you are also nervous cause its only jaemin and you in the room

but then he sees you fumbling with tying the apron and

jaemin says “here, give it, ill do it for you” while smiling a little

and from the back he wraps the apron around your waist,,,

and hes so close to you,,, your heart is fluttering

okay heart stop beating so fast pls thank you

and little do you know,,, jaemin is flushing a bit behind your back,,,

you are both the cutest mess

and you break the silence with a smol

“thanks :))”

trying to contain yourself from screaming

adapting to the serving side & keeping youself busy

you dont realise jaemin is literally admiring you the entire time as you get used to the job,,,,

here and then you forget how close you might be standing next to jaemin,,,

you kinda also realise how rEALLY attractive he looks serving everyone with a huge smile 24/7

and the way some customers are obviously attracted to him,,,,

but what you dont know is he is literally taking this chance to highkey flirt with you lmao

waves (sometimes winks) across the room

causally hovers over you when you cant find/reach smth

beaming the biggest smile every minute he gets to himself

and at first you panicked like ?!????

cause was this jaemin boy holding back for a whole month

is this his nature yes

but it makes you so happy to see him smiling all the time beside you

so jaemin yes its working

you gotta admit tho his flirty-ish behaviour grew on you this entire week djskjssj

a week of giggly smiles uwu

but the week after was unexpectedly the busiest of the busiest

you two forgot national holidays collided with the weekends and for some, it was a week off,,,,,,

so the week rushes by so quickly compared to the last one

it kind saved you tho cause your heart cant take more of that flirty behaviour

and finally,

the peak days are over,,,

and you realise its been a while since the cafe was just you,,,, and well jaemin but just no customers

the silence with faint sounds of cups cluttering,,,, you missed it

so then you go sit on the high chair

just admiring jaemin organise the shelves

he starts to prepare a new cup of coffee then realises you smiling at him “were you in awe at how effortless i look right now??”

you chuckle at his remark,,,

(needless to say that your are chuckling to hide how your heart is melting at his smirky smile)

so you twirl a bit shyly,, and avert the gaze to the familiar wood of the counter

asking him “do you remember the day we first saw each other, me sitting here and you serving the latte?”

“ofc, its the day i met an angel”

oh so confidently na jaemin really just said that

you quickly look up at him like !!!?!???!

and thats how he earned a first kiss (or rather a peck) from you

leaning over the counter and pecking you, a whole blushy mess

then comes a clink by the door

you juMp,,,,,,,

oof the customer may or may not have seen you two

you both rush around flushed like a tomato lmao

spending the rest of the day like nothing happened oops

and after the day ends, you two close the cafe

as you starting walking you are caught off guard when

jaemin just takes your hand,,,

“look y/n!! the stars are so pretty!!”

and starts swinging your arm like a tall child,,,

your heart is skippingnsjsjsjs

then at the corner, jaemin turns around and goes

“this is actually the place i first saw you”

and you ??¿?¿¿

“i saw you taking the photo of this night light shining into the cafe”

still hand in hand, jaemin steps a little closer

and takes his free hand to cup your face, kissing you,,,,

you smile into him as he kisses so softly, thinking

maybe the day i took that photo was a friday night

and melting into the kiss, you really think you are dreaming,,,,,

under the lights you once wished capturing a sparkling moment with the cafe in the back

its now you and jaemin in the frame,,,,

the boy who had you forgetting to breathe a month ago

whos now serving your favourite latte with a bonus of pecks on the cheek,,,,, (maybe on the lips if theres no one watching)

anyways

jaemin brings light to your life and you have never been this happy until you met him uwu

and it goes both ways, jaemin cant live without you now,,,, you are the best thing thats ever happened to him

(thank the heavens & your auntie)

oh and also johnny for pushing you to submit that article lmao plus huang renjun for that involuntary sign up

gcse exam thoughts

3rd - 4th April

art : I'm really proud of how it turned out. No joke, I think it's the best piece I've ever produced, my only concern is that the flowers I glued on will fall off. Hopefully it'll hold up though, all I need now is to complete my coursework and it's over!

——————————————————————

13th May

religous studies one : Okay so the D questions literally saved my arse BUT I completely blanked on the Rosary and St Augustine. Luckily they're only B questions but I'm still kicking myself over them. Overall I'm not really bothered though, because it went okay for a first exam.

14th May

biology one : Oh my god this exam was really easy, I only got stumped on questions about the gills (which I really can't remember studying) but it's definitely gone really well. But everyone I spoke to said it went well too so the grade boundaries are going to be high.

15th May

english literature one : Okay honestly my favourite exam so far. The questions were so good I believe I'm in love with AQA now. The Macbeth question I think I rambled a bit, but A Christmas Carol was basically asking about Scrooge's redemption and that's honestly beautiful.

16th May

chemistry one : So my mind completely blanked on literally any calculation question, which is really annoying, but the writing questions (especially titration) went really well I think, the first half was great, but any maths question confused me.

20th May

religious studies two : Personally think this exam went better than the first one. The only major concern was the question about the Second Vatican Council, which I am confused about, because I honestly don't remember studying it?

21st May

mathematics one : Okay so AQA has been suspiciously nice recently, because that was so easy? I am confused? Apart from a few daft marks that I'm kicking myself for not getting, then it should've in theory gone well.

geography one : Story time, I started cramping just as I entered the exam hall (aha kill me) so I decided to do the 1-2 marks until my cramps ceased, only to find out that THE MAJORITY OF THE PAPER WAS 1-2 MARKS and that the rest of it was super easy too?!

22nd May

physics one : What a blessing this exam was brilliant! It was super easy, and the only 'problem' was the five mark defibrillator question, but other than that it was all good, I'm upset about the lack of practicals in the exams though, I like my eureka cans!

23rd May

english literature two : AQA back at it again with the beautiful questions. I chose Sheila for AIC (it was really easy, I'm dead proud of myself) and I compared War Photographer to Remains. Honestly, Harry needs protecting though, 2k19. God bless him.

religous studies three : Okay that was probably the R.E exam I liked the least but that doesn't mean to say it was bad. I only remembered what the Sukkot was five minutes until the end so smh, but still went okay I think.

24th May

psychology one : So much easier than the specimen papers! They must have learned from their mistakes because it was so easy. I think we need longer on this exam though because I was writing up until the end. I'm so sick of PEE chains at this point!

——————————————————————

3rd June

psychology two : Just as good as last time thankfully, and weirdly enough I'm gonna miss it, despite taking psych at a level. When I got to the self question about 'safety' my mind completely blank and nearly threw my pen. I finally figured out it was Maslow though! Loved the research methods 12 marker, what a blessing!

4th June

english language one : I chose the abandonment story for the writing question and I think it went really well! I've always been good at language, and the extract was nice, but after seeing what happened to Alice later on I'm very upset.

5th June

geography two : I dont think this went as well as the first one, and I am 99% sure that I blagged most of it but it doesn't matter because there were plenty of nine markers and six markers which really helped. Barely any questions on Rio though which was annoying.

6th June

mathematics two : Not too bad? I don't know, maths has never been my strong point, but I think I definitely passed. The first exam went a lot better though, because there were a few difficult questions on this paper (like the last one) but I'm hoping to pull up my grade on the last paper.

7th June

english language two : I'm on the fence about this one. I've always been good at English language but I don't think this was as good as the first, but fiction is my strong point. I wasn't too happy about question four but question five basically wrote itself.

biology two : Apart from a few daft mistakes, this exam was quite good, just not as good as the first biology paper I think. I didn't mind the big markers either, apart from the questions about the eye (my mind blanked on that one).

11th June

mathematics three : Yeah so I am never ever ever discussing maths again after today. Basically, fucked up the circle question (realised hours afterwards that it was 90 + 35 so I'm a fucking idiot), paint question and QR question went okay, but overall FUCKING HATE THIS PAPER I CRIED IF I GET HIGHER THAN A FIVE WE ARE THROWING A PARTY

12th June

chemistry two : Okay so.... Not too bad? I mean it definitely wasn't amazing (how many flipping tests do you want to include aqa) but it could've gone a lot worse. Then again, I did nearly write an apology at the bottom of the page for the marker. I did completely screw up some questions though so whoops!

13th June

geography three : Super easy, don't think I even have to mention that. Though I didn't realise that we got the pre release given to us so I spent ages trying to memorise facts like an idiot.

14th June

physics two : Not that bad for a last exam. I'm not expecting like 9s or anything but it was okay. The best part was leaving when I got jumped by all my friends in hugs, and I weirdly felt a little nostalgic about it all, its like I blinked and suddenly I'm leaving school.

——————————————————————

[magical-xirl-4]

Now that every episode of S3 has aired, I’m going to be watching Heart Hunter/Loveater and Miracle Queen. And so, I present to you, my thoughts on Battle of The Miraculous:

Ahem,

I WAS LITERALLY IN THE PROCESS OF WRITING MY THOUGHTS ON HEART HUNTER BUT MY LAPTOP SHUT DOWN AND DECIDED TO UPDATE

Which was super annoying, cause I was halfway through the episode. But I’ve managed to remember most of it

Anyway, that was annoying, but I still remember what I wrote:

- Marinette narrating in the beginning about loss, was honestly a big oof, since I know what happens in these two episodes

- Ugh, Cat was being petty about making LB jealous for sure

- Luka and LUKANETTE WAS SO CUTE I’M-- I love him so much, and I love them. They’re the light of my life right now. (also when he finishes Marinette’s melody, it’s totally going to be the theme of the show) THE BIKE RIDING AND CHEEK KISS WAS CUTE TOO

- Heart Hunter’s design is bad (Gabriel also totally gave them that cloak so they’d get pissed at each other)

- Adrigaminette rights!!!

- Adrien has a crush on both Ladybug, Kagami and Marinette, change my mind (He was smitten when he saw her with her hair out, like seriously) Rip to him scrolling through LB’s photos too, I felt bad but I had to laugh

- Kagami watching Adrien play piano is the softest shit, I died (Kagami and Adrigami in general is great in this episode)

- Also I freaked out when Adrien was grabbing Mari’s hand, and just hers. Like boy stop denying your feelings.

- Andre didn’t say poly rights but he did say Kagaminette rights

And now, back to where I left off in the episode:

- MARI’S GETTING SAD ABOUT THEM-

- ooof now things be getting intense, Hawkmoth’s figured out that she goes to Fu whenever she’s stuck

- RIP she saw Adrigami in action

- uh oh... she didn’t de-transform

- NO don’t choose Kagami, ffs this is like what happened in Desperada, don’t let your personal agenda interfere!

- Okay but Hawkmoth standing in front of the merry-go-round window is kinda funny

- POCKY GAME ADRIGAMI- oh never mind it’s just a kiss anyway

- Ladybug just straight up kidnapped her. Anyway we got some Ladygami/Kagamibug because she was carrying her :3

- I like how Mari was actually making her voice a little deeper to conceal herself... I’ve noticed that she does that in this season more often (her voice does change slightly when she’s LB, but not like what she used to sound like in S1)

- ARE WE GETTING A RYUUKO TRANSFORMATION SEQUENCE OR WHAT? Like, a full one. PLEASE.

- NOOO we didn’t get one aghh

- YES BITCH, Jade Turtle let’s goo

- I am actually really enjoying this battle 

- Lmaoo Ladybug called out Cat’s flirting with Ryuuko 

- HOW DID CHLOE THROW THE HOW SPOTLIGHT AWAY

- Oh my jesus Hawkmoth and Chloe talking I CAN’T

- NOO POOR POLLEN

- Yeah I’m real worried about Fu’s whereabouts now

- OOF ADRIGAMI KISS. lmaoo Andre just staring at them

- oh shit. OH SHIT HERE IT COMES. LUKANETTE. I REPEAT LUKANETTE

- AHHHHH TEARS, IN MY EYES. 

- Mari crying is the worst BUT LUKA BEING SUPPORTIVE IS SO GOOD

...

Okay, now, after that, let’s finally move into the last episode: Miracle Queen.

- Oh my gosh, seeing everyone getting stung (families like Alya’s and Max’s especially) and Marinette narrating over it again... This shit is hurting

- AGh Luka saving her, I can’t do this

- I’m glad she thought to use Aqua Tikki. Anyway- OH. OH SHIT ADRIEN’S REJECTING KAGAMI?

- Well, ok, not really, but still...

- AH she saved him

- ANDRE WAS WATCHING THE ENTIRE TIME, EVEN WHEN HE TRANSFORMED 

- Seeing everyone being mind controlled is a bit worrying

- nNONONO MIRACLE QUEEN WANTS MIRACULOUS HOLDERS TO COME TO HER. NOW NO ONE’S GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFORM AGAIN AFTER THIS

- SHE GRABBED ALYA’S GLASSES AND SMASHED THEM TF

- ahaha the first one who didn’t have glasses was Kim (”I thought that was a requirement”) oml that was actually funny

- SAY ANYTHING ABOUT LUKA AGAIN AND I’LL WHOOP YOUR ASS

- The Kwami’s aren’t going to do or say anything seeing them brainwashed??

- ew more Gabenath. THEIR BODIES ARE WAY TOO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER-

-  Noo she’s upset again ;-;

- OKAY THE LADYNOIR HUG WAS REALLY SWEET 

- YESSS FUCK YESSS. DRAGONBUG LET’S GOOO!!!

- SHE USED THE WATER DRAGON WITH HER YOYO, I’M SHOOK

- ohh shit Hawkmoth’s gonna use Fu to reveal their identity’s!

- YESS MAN, CAT NOIR AND LADYBUG TOGETHER!

- Okay but... Rena Rouge, Roy Singe, Pegase and especially Viperion are so deadly all together I have no idea how they’re going to win.

- NOO no. No. NO. I do not want to see Cat and Viperion fighting. Even if Luka is brain washed, I dont think I can handle it.

- OK NVM WHAT WAS EASY

- Was gonna say, poor Sass, but at least he got some food.

- Hell yeah SNAKE NOIR.

- WTF NO. ROY SINGE DAMMIT. DRAGONBUG NOOO.

- Thank fUCK for Second Chance

- YESS THAT WAS GENIUS YALL

- Can’t believe Chloe really thought she could get Akumatized AGAIN when LB is right there

- HEYEHEYEHHEYEY CHLOE WTF STOP. she has no idea that she literally can’t do that. she’ll crumble mentally is she uses all the miraculous

- anyway it’s super funny that all the Kwami’s are pissed at her. (Honey it don’t work like that, they’re not going to let you order them around)

- GUYS DO SOMETHING AND STOP THE SENTIMONSTER

- JUST GO UP THERE IT’S NOT HARD??

- OOF *that zoom on HM’s face when Fu said LB will be the next guardian aha*

- yeah.... the MIRACLE BOX JUST CHANGED WHAT THE HELL

- HAHA I like how Hawkmoth and Mayura just rode off on the Sentimonster

- Goodbye and good riddance, Chloe

- THEY’RE GONNA FIX THE PEACOCK MIRACULOUS?

- It’s sad hours now boys... Fu doesn’t remember anything... Wayzz’s face too, ugh :(

- MARINETTE’S NARRATION WAS FROM THE POV OF FU’S LETTER. HOLY SHIT. WHATTHE-

- Fu was ready to throw everything away, everything in that locker... Oh my god, I’m not ready for this

- Marianne! AHHH (he remembered her in some way, gosh damn this is bittersweet)

- WHAT.. what.... what the.... Adrien and Mari getting ice cream together, smiling.... AND TALKING normally, I...

- The way that the camera followed them... the fact that they said goodbye to each other to go sit apart from each other...

- NO .... NO I CAN’T HANDLE THIS. 

- Luka’s tune was so similar to the theme song and I’m... yeah I’m getting chills OKAY, I’LL ADMIT IT

This... holy shit this finale was good. Like... damn I loved how it ended. There were some good moments that I appreciated, and all together it was really nice.

I need to know how season 4 is going to pick up after this one, so much has changed. I want this show to be better, I really do, and I’m hoping the next season really takes the wind out of us.  

[kathillards]

rangerstop day two

HOLY FUCKING SHIT THE MEGAFORCE RANGERS SHOUTED US OUT AT THEIR PANEL AZIM TOLD EVERYONE ABOUT A GROUP OF FRIENDS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY WHO MET BECAUSE OF POWER RANGERS AND POINTED AT US AND THE MEGAFORCE RANGERS ALL CHEERED AND TOLD US TO STAND UP OH MY GOD

uhhh sorry how do i move on from that how do i even think about anything else. the panel room was CROWDED people were FILMING kat and tabby had gone up to ask questions (which were HUGE hits) and come back and sat down AND THEN AZIM SAID THAT in the middle of a question about. i dont even fucking remember. something about what great community values power rangers has or something? and i guess we were related to power rangers being a community or whatever but bitch. BITCH. he said it and like pointed at us and they all started clapping (this sounds fake as hell i know BUT THERES VIDEO PROOF SOMEWHERE???) and everyone turned to look at us and we were like hi and then like two minutes later azim went “oh wait i have to make a correction, its not a group of girls its three girls and one guy because i think abigail isnt here? right?” and we were like ya so uh moral of the story... azim rizk i would murder ten hundred men for you

ok other things happened too, this will probably not be in chronological order bc i cant think right now 

- mike ginn stopped when he saw me and looked for tabby who was hiding behind me when she saw him and he looked around for tabby and did his pointing thing again and it was so cuuute

- kat was talking to christina about how we avoided the cast all day yesterday and she was like “yes but i saw you anyway ;) and i was wondering when you’d come over to say hi!” shes so CUTE and then they talked about her rescue puppy and she was so happy to talk about her puppy

- ciara and christina made ben sign the art presents he gave them, ciara did it first and christina was like OMG WHY DIDNT YOU AUTOGRAPH MINE and made him sign hers too

- christina and i did a WHOLE photoshoot we did a normal pic then a silly pic but then she didnt like so we did a kissy face pic and she was like “oh i think i did a duck face” and im like thats ok so did i AND OUR PICS ARE SO CUTE AND SHE HUGGED ME SO TIGHT I. WOULD. DIE. FOR. YOU. CHRISTINA. MASTERSON.

- selwyn called tabby his girlfriend when i showed up without her he was like “wheres my girlfriend” bc he remembered us from last night and then she came over and he was like THERE YOU ARE and gave her a free selfie (and signed her space dvd with “tj is the real leader of in space” but refused to X out andros’ face bc that was mean) and he covered up najee’s face on her kevin t-shirt and then was upset bc it looked like he was touching her chest and tracy lynn laughed at him over it AND THEN HE TOLD US TO COME TO THE TGIF IN THE HOTEL AFTERWARDS BC THE RANGERS WERE GONNA GO THERE AND GET DRUNK AND HE INVITED US TO HAVE DRINKS W/ HIM but we stood him up because... we are tired... he was like “yeah we have this stupid vip dinner but like we’re gonna try to leave early and just go get fucking smashed” and we were like ur so valid selwyn. i love you.

- kat showed azim my tweets defending megaforce and he had to put the phone down to run his hands through his hair and be like “wow that was such a specific takedown” and kat was like “yeah she just says this shit all the time bc shes seen megaforce five hundred times” and he was like “she was so detailed though she didnt just say ‘you suck’ she put THOUGHT into her takedowns” 

- (later when he signed my super megaforce green print he called me “my sista in social media smackdown!!!” complete with that many exclamation points)

- brennan said “i like your hat” to ben five times and he also signed tabby’s as well with his three catchphrases (she asked for him to write “awesome!” and he was like “i had more lines than that....”) he also told us he and the dino charge team were invited back for a dc/nsteel teamup but they kept cancelling them bc of budget reasons till it was just him and yoshi and he was finally like “i told them to just bring yoshi back because like thats his brother” and i was like “but then they didnt even INTERACT” and he was like “i KNOW”

- tabby’s tracy story: she asked tracy if it was uncomfortable fighting in crop tops and short skirts and tracy said “it wasnt uncomfortable but it was hard to not show everything” and she was like “idk why a power ranger would dress like that” and tabby told her ashley should have her own fashion line of athletic wear for fighter girls and tracy was like YES and tabby said she should have been leader of turbo bc she was into cars and tracy said that when they told her that ashley was gonna have a car plot she was like “ew no i dont want to touch greasy car oils” but that she was happy that ashley got to challenge herself

- kat was standing around azim the entire morning and he was introducing her to everyone who came up to him like she was his handler and at one point accidentally implied that she was his girlfriend and kat was like no im not and he was like “oh whoops it did kinda sound like that...” and his actual handler was like “why did u correct him” and kat was like “NO I LOVE HIS GIRLFRIEND” 

- when i was taking my pics w/ the megaforce cast and andrew was the sweetest angel and he kept making poses over my shoulder while i giggled and then he asked me for a hug and KISSED MY CHEEK and hugged me so tight and was like “love you guys” I WOULD DIE FOR YOU ANDREW GRAY

- john mark is literally the funniest person alive and he was constantly going around the megaforce booth when we were there like (to ben when he was giving art to ciara and christina) “WHERES MINE” and to me when i was having them sign my megaforce prints “WHERES MINE” hes so funny and i love himmm

- ciara was signing my prints but she got distracted when we asked about her dogs and she stopped and opened her phone and started showing us pics and videos and she was soo happy to talk about her dogs too and then we took our pic and checked it to make sure it looked good and tabby was like “you look gorgeous” and she was like “we BOTH look gorgeous” i cannot believe. AND THEN she threw in a group photo for FREE and we all got in there

- kat was telling us and azim about some douchebag vendor who was like hitting on her and inviting her to an afterparty and was like “are you over 21″ when she was just trying to look at his spd toys and azim was literally “which guy. where. where is he.” HE WAS GONNA KILL THAT GUY FOR KAT HE LOVES HER

- we somehow got on the subject of azim SHAVING HIS BEAUTIFUL BEARD and he was like “oh well we went to the make a wish foundation to meet kids and the beard scares them so i had to shave” and i was like “thats racist” and he was like nooo but u could tell his mind was blown and i was like “cameron didnt shave” and he was like “well cameron is white” and i was like SO YOU ADMIT ITS RACIST and he laughed also im correct

- related but michael copon came over to jessica rey’s table while we were there and she was like “hi michael these are my FRIENDS” and they were talking about how they’re cousins and they’re both half filipino and tabby was like “why didnt they give you any scenes together in the teamup!” and jessica was like “because i was with erin!” and michael was like “because they couldnt have two filipinos together in one scene” power rangers got WOKE man

- kat to andrew: i have a huge troy plushie!

andrew: oh my dogs would rip that up immediately

kat:

andrew: do your dogs not rip things up

kat: i dont... i wouldnt let them...touch my troy plushies...

(we love you andrew. he doesnt even know hes at a con. hes just here to chill.)

- someone at the panel asked a stupid question about “if you could cameo in any other season which season would you pick” like they dont get asked this all the fucking time and the rangers were like hmm like beast morphers or dino charge and then andrew, my husband my light my life, was like “fuck power rangers, i wanna go to the dc universe” (he didnt cuss obviously) but like... king. legend supporting legends. AND THEN CHRISTINA WAS LIKE “oh mood i wanna be in the pokemon universe” and john mark was like “as what” and she was like “i dont know i didnt watch it” QUEEN OF POKEMON she kins jigglypuff

- tabby was at ann marie crouch’s booth and telling her how she loved that princess shayla was the wild force team’s mom and she was like aww yeah i felt such a maternal instinct even though that was before i had my actual child!! shes so cute!! shes so pretty!!

- jessica rey is literally SO WONDERFUL AND FUN TO TALK TO we went to hang out bc tabby wanted her wild force dvd signed and she was just telling us her stories of hanging out w/ the other boys and how she went to drink w/ azim just to keep him company (bc peter and yoshi were there and they were like “we dont drink” nerds) so cuuute and then she had that pic of her and peter and yoshi and they’re making stupid faces and she’s smiling like an angel and she’s like THEY DIDNT TELL ME IT WASNT A SERIOUS PHOTO and i asked her jokingly how much for it and she was like take it its $30 and i was like pls charge me more have my money take my soul

- tabby and kat were at the megaforce booths and jessica rey came over and was like “excuse me what are you guys doing with MY GIRLS” and john mark was like “uh they’re OUR GIRLS” and then cameron pulled jessica over and was like “actually this is MY babe” and then she tried to leave bc she was in the way of ppl in line and azim stopped her and was like “no no stay you’re part of our FAMILY”and uh basically the power rangers family is the cutest family in the whole world thank you good night

- taylor swift wrote gorgeous about andrew gray

[sovonight]

also for the dating sim, i originally wrote a final final date for ford back in september 2017, when i still had the energy to entertain a longer farewell.

this got cut, of course, and honestly it’s more suited for the last day of an entire summer with ford instead of the last day of 2-3 weeks, but it happened in my heart:

The week is coming to its end, and with it, your time in Gravity Falls. You can't help but feel uncertain about the end; will it come with a sense of promise, or finality?

<<<<<<<<<

This really began w the abducted by aliens bad ending idea but. the extended train of thought im goin for is:

ford takes u to see the ufo as a dual "sending u off w a grand sight" & "trying to convince you that gravity falls is worth coming back to-- and he is worth coming back to, too"

ford seems to show the place off to ppl particularly close to him so. rite of passage lol

TBH i dont know what ford would possibly have to show you that’s just This but it’s like one of the more mindblowing gf things and the most visually impressive location even if it is just a husk of its former self

if u did badly & continue to do badly then you call this alien stuff stupid and underwhelming and press a dead button or two to demonstrate and summon an alien prison bot thing. ford tries to keep u calm but too late, ur gone, whoops. BAD END: you rot in ancient unused alien prison

THAT SAID i'm probably gonna keep tossing ideas out and seeing where things can fit, not totally sold on this one

<<<<<<<<<

Last evening, you had lingered with Ford after dinner, having found another rare moment in which to enjoy his company. He'd asked to show you something, if you woke before dawn to accompany him there.

(PERFECT) (look up sunrise times) You wake before dawn, of course, the sky outside still dark. It is another few moments while you get dressed, and just as you finish putting on your shoes you hear the familiar weight of Ford's footsteps.

You open the door just as Ford's hand is poised to knock, and surprise crosses his face before it is replaced by a steady smile.

ford "I see you're eager. All set to go?"

(OKAY) KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

You wake groggily to a couple hard knocks at the door, and sit up on the mattress in vague confusion for a few moments. You hear a door-muffled voice that you recognize, at length, as Ford's.

ford "[playername]? Are you ready?"

Oh. Oh, right! You were supposed to be going with Ford on some morning walk or other. You look down at your rumpled blankets and sleeping attire, and realize you have about five minutes to pull this off. You call out towards the door.

player "Almost! Just give me five minutes!"

You get dressed in record time, all as you imagine Ford impatiently checking his watch outside. You'd planned to wake up earlier, you really had, but things just didn't work out that way.

You open the door to a Ford who looks patient but perhaps a little exasperated. Oh, no-- that was way more than five minutes, then, wasn't it? Ford folds his hands behind his back, but you see his watch peeking out over the cuff of his sweater sleeve.

ford "All set to go?"

(BAD) You wake up at your usual mid-morning time to a sense of having forgotten something. You can't imagine what it could've been, but as you walk out to get breakfast, something slowly comes back to you.

Oh. Oh, no.... You were supposed to wake up early to join Ford for a walk. It can't be too late, can it? You don't see Ford anywhere, though, and as you look you run into Stan, who looks..a little disapproving.

stan "Lookin' for Ford? He left for one of his loner thinking spots in the forest."

stan "I don't know where it is, so don't bother asking."

The day is open to you now, but you're not sure how you feel about having stood Ford up.

<gen end>

player "Well, I'm dressed, but I wasn't sure what to bring."

ford "Just bring yourself. I've made preparations for the both of us, don't worry."

He offers his hand to you, and you take it.

Ford leads you out of the shack, and though the steps are as familiar as that first day you accompanied him on his search for Mothman, the warmth of his hand in yours brings an elation to your heart that you can't explain. You only realize you're smiling when Ford comes to a stop and looks back to you with a chuckle.

ford "I don't think I've ever seen someone so happy to be up so early."

ford "Here-- where we're going is usually a two day scenic hike, but I found a shortcut last summer that brings the journey down to a matter of hours."

player "How is that possible?"

ford "I don't know! Not yet, anyway. I have a hypothesis on how it works, but haven't had the time to devise an appropriate experiment. You see..."

"Ford continues talking as he leads you deeper into the forest, the faint path underfoot fading into the underbrush the further you walk. He holds onto your hand the entire way, a touching gesture that seems to become a necessity as the alternating sunlight and shadow crowd into your vision."

"There is a weight, and an emptiness, and a confusion, in the depths of the blur of the foliage you pass through. You think that if Ford hadn't been holding on to you, you would've lost him."

ford "Still with me?"

"You find that Ford has led you to a sunny, open space upon a cliff, with a view of the entire town."

player "..Yes. Yes, I think so."

ford "Good! Any thoughts on my hypothesis now that you've experienced the phenomenon yourself?"

"What? Oh no-- you'd been too preoccupied with the sensation of passing incorrectly through time and space to remember what he'd said! Time for a change of subject."

player "This view of the town is amazing! Were we going to watch the sunrise from here?"

ford "What? Oh-- Ah, the /sunrise/. Because it's before dawn. No, I just consider this the best time to travel."

ford "Though if you'd like to, nothing else I have planned is time-sensitive."

menu:

"Watch the sunrise together":

watch sunrise

"Let Ford lead on":

lead on

watch sunrise

"You move to sit on a conspicuous rock just a short distance away, and Ford joins you, a small smile playing on his face."

<he's amused 'cause now his ufo introduction can be even better>

"A comfortable quiet settles in, and though it might just be the early morning chill, all you can focus on is Ford's constant warmth by your side. Your gaze lingers, for a moment, watching him watch the sky, until you find his eyes meeting yours."

"You turn your gaze quickly back towards a view of the sky, where it belongs. At your left, Ford chuckles."

ford "You can look, you know."

"You know you should feel a little more shame at being caught, but what grows in your heart is a bright, tentative excitement."

player "And miss the sunrise?"

ford "[playername], there are plenty of sunrises left for you and I. But moments like these? They only come once in a while."

ford "It doesn't hurt to cherish them, while they last."

menu:

""You and I"?":

"Ford seems to catch himself, cheeks reddening in the brightening light of the early sunrise."

ford "I mean to say, we'll both see many more sunrises in our lives. Separately..or not."

"There's a lot of potential in that "or not"."

"(Kiss him)":

<you kiss him and it's great i guess? not really the best choice>

"I wish this moment could last forever."

ford "The earth would have to stop spinning, my dear, and then we'd be flung across the earth at the speed of its rotation."

"...The moment just ended."

"The sun comes up over the horizon, <something beautiful about its pink orange hues>"

ford "Now. Ready to see what I wanted to show you?"

"You nod, and accept the hand he offers to pull you up."

player "Is it further ahead?"

ford "Try below your feet. Stand aside, now--"

"He pushes the rock aside with ease, and you can't help but marvel at the strength he holds. He must be dedicated to his exercise regimen, whatever it might be."

<ufo section happens, ford pulls out the magnet gun the one invention that brought the two of you together in the first place, proceed on cool abandoned tech tour, he stops in one particular room for its echo sound properties, he’s like i actually scavenged-- i mean re-purposed-- parts from here>

ford "Together, we've tracked down a cryptid, battled through fictional dungeons, and faced Mabel's matchmaking. I thought having one more adventure together would be a good way to send you off."

ford "And..."

ford "I was hoping this would show you there's still more to discover about Gravity Falls than you might think. That perhaps you'd find that this place is worth coming back to, someday...even with all its faults, and weirdness."

menu:

"So you brought me to this husk of a place? It's a dump!":

""

"Oh, Ford...":

"Ford gives you that familiar warm smile, though the look in his eyes remains tentative."

""

"Consider me convinced!":

"Before you realize it Ford's swept you up into an embrace, lifting you off the ground for a joyous spin before returning you to it. He holds you, pressing a kiss to your forehead, grinning."

ford "--But wait, you understood the metaphor, right? The town as a metaphor for--"

player "Yes, Ford, I'd want to come back to see you."

"Ford laughs in relief."

ford "Did you know that the concept of a metaphor doesn't exist in some dimensions? It's ridiculous! Nonsensical! Who came up with those things?"

"His joy is infectious, you can’t stop smiling yourself."

player "Those dimensions, you mean?"

ford "Yes! I have some choice words for whatever cosmic events laid out {i}those{/i} plans."

[last-flight-of-fancy]

fatedeniedhope replied to your post “* sees people confused over various kh plot points * * is not people i...”

I would like yo know a bit. Only play kh 1 and chain of memories and half way to kh 2

oh boy there is a *lot* to cover here then!

I don’t mean that to sound intimidating, kh just has a tendency for long, sprawling interconnected plots (many of which are still unresolved even now)

i am also doing this entirely by memory, so if i’ve skimmed something i shouldn’t have its because my brain has stopped registering it as important; feel free to ask for clarification, i wrote this in one sitting because i was avoiding doing laundry XD

putting a cut because i am overviewing a Lot of game here and tbh there’s still a lot of stuff i am skimming or skipping entirely. I’m just trying to hit the highlights.

i don’t know where you stopped in 2, so i’m just gonna give a brief overview

-there is a boy named roxas

-he’s being hunted by these strangers called nobody’s

-things get weird

-turns out he’s sora’s nobody, as nobody’s are created when a person is turned into a heartless (which sora did during kh1)

-roxas returns to sora (”looks like my summer vacation is.. over...” whoops there goes my heart) and normal sora gameplay resumes.

-DIDNEY WORLDS

-turns out everyone forgot sora for a year bc of what happened in chain of memories (and also 358/2. dont worry about that yet we’ll get there). kairi sends out a bottle to “the boy she can’t remember” trying to call him home. (yes this is important)

-organization 13 (all what? eight of them left?) pops up, xemnas is cryptic, and they say their goal is to recreate kingdom hearts via sora killing heartless, since apparently only killing heartless with a keyblade sends the trapped hearts to Kingdom Hearts

      -this version of the tale persists through 358 as well. it’s.. half right.

-bla bla bla, shenanigans. there’s ansem (the boss from kh1) and a guy named diz. That isn’t who either of them actually are. It’s actually Riku (who tapped too far into the darkness trying to capture roxas for the whole twilight town scenario at the beginning of the game, thus altering his appearance to look like the guy who posessed him for a bit) and THE ACTUAL ANSEM (ie, the ruler(?) of radient garden before it fell, and the guy heartless ansem stole his name from.

-anyways

-sora goes off searching for riku, bc as far as he knows, he’s still lost out in the darkness.

-he’s not, he’s fine, but he’s super embarrassed about the whole ‘looking like the enemy’ thing and won’t let sora find him.

-sora casually murders most of the remaining organization members (only most of whom shot first)

-this continues on until axel attempts to kidnap kairi, who ends up in twilight town for a bit hanging out with the hayner/pence/ollete trio, before being slightly more successfully kidnapped a second time.

-and then she gets kidnapped again by saix. Axel apologises to sora over this. in his defence, he’s pretty desperate at this point (he just wants his friend(s) back)

-sora storms The World That Never Was, kairi is rescued by Namine.

-the trio finally meets up (namine disapeared at some point? yknow, i actually dont recall what happened to her in between these scenes), sora and kairi share a slightly awkward but sweet hug, and after a moments trepidation over ‘Ansem’, kairi tells/shows him its riku, at which point sora bursts into tears.

-i ship a lot of ot3′s, but sorikai is the OG ot3

-anyways

-namine and roxas have a very symbolic moment refusing with their Other’s, Namine opens a portal back to destiny islands so they can go home.

-everyone except sora and riku make it through, and thus commences several final fantasy style boss fights

-they win, of course, riku’s injured in the line of battle, and they limp out, having traversed several realms during the course of this battle, they’re now trapped on a beach in the realm of darkness. it’s the same beach everyone else seems to end up on in this place. There is only one beach in the RoD apparently

-they stay there a while, and then they pick up a message in a bottle; it’s from kairi, “to the boy she can’t remember”

-Feelings make a door to the light open, and sora and riku fall like actual comets from the sky and everybody’s reunited and happy. huzzah!

-.... well for a while anyways.

-should i get into the whole xemnas/xehanort/ansem thing here?

-eh

-okay so

-lets swing back into Birth By Sleep for a bit

-(im sorry if kh can’t hit any of its plot points in order i think its fair neither do i)

-BBS takes place roughly nine years prior to kh1, with the exception of bbs’s prologue, which i would estimate as being an additional four years prior to that

-during said prologue, we meet Master Xehanort, an incredibly old dude with brown skin, gold eyes, and a white beard. even newcomers to the series will probably recognise that only one type of person gets those colours in these games.

-we also meet baby Ventus, Xehanorts apprentice. He looks exactly like Roxas.

-shenanigans happen, Xehanort splits Ven’s heart in two, creating Vanitas, who is Ventus’s darkness.

-Vanitas’ whole shtick is he wants to be reunited with Ventus, ostensibly to create the X-blade (yes it’s pronounced exactly the same as ‘keyblade’ and yes, every single kh fan ive ever talked to has found this annoying af)

-unfortunately being split in two like that puts ven in a coma, and xehanort takes the unresponiseve body to destiny islands to dump it like unwanted ravioli

-luckily for ven, “a brand new hear” hears his hurt and reaches out to help, filling out the gaps left in his and allowing him to start recovering

-the heart is sora

-actual, literal baby sora reaching out to help people before he can even walk yet. 

-the game never spells this out explicitly, which makes it an easy plot point to miss if you aren’t paying attention

-ven doesn’t recover immidietly though, and xehanort sends him to live with his old friend Master Eraqus and his two teenage apprentices, Aqua and Terra

-here’s where we time skip, ventus is fully recovered, terra and aqua are young adults and about to take their Mark Of Mastery exams for becoming keyblade masters.

-Terra fails because he has darkness in his heart and also xehanort rigged it against him

-aqua passes and becomes a master. I love her very much.

-terra journey’s out to try and figure out where the darkness comes from

-vanitas taunts ven saying terra’s leaving him bc ven’s stupid or something and ven panics and chases after him (he’s like 14 and has a bit of a hero worship thing, stupid decisions are par for the course)

-eraqus sends aqua out to both spy on terra (he words it nicer but thats the gist of it), which aqua doesn’t particularly like but trusts her masters judgement and does it, and bring ventus home, which she is more on board with

-the biggest tragedy in bbs is that no one talks to each other

-stuff happens, they learn some stuff, aqua’s route has So Many Lesbian Feels with every single princess she runs into it brings me great delight

-Ventus learns the whole ‘fight your darkness to become the X-blade’ plot, eraqus learns this too and tries to kill ven. Terra busts in at the last moment and saves ven, at this point using his dark powers fully.

-#terrawasright

-eraqus dies, which i don’t think terra fully intended to do (he just wanted to save ven) and if you recall the scene in kh1 where kairi catches a falling sora only for him to burst into a bunch of floating glitter? imagine that but with two grown men

-aqua’s just trying to figure out whats going on. she gets to meet kairi (saves her from some heartless and then puts a charm on her necklace to keep her safe) and then meets Mickey, who will be our future duex ex machina

-they all meet for the final battle.

-ven asks his friends to murder him

-no one does that

-what the fuck ven

-they fight, and a lot of stuff sorta happens at the same time

-1: terra fights xehanort, who has essentially been spending the whole game prepping terra to be his next host. xehanort is a body snatcher confirmed. xehanort wins, terra becomes the fanon-named terranort.

-2: ventus fights vanitas. vanitas reveals his face, and he looks exactly like a colour swapped version of sora. (also voiced by the same voice actor! it’s actually surprsingly difficult to notice this if you don’t have some kind of clue already because haley joel osment does and *amazing* job). ventus wins, the X-blade is not forged, but as a lot of this battle takes place in his heart, the effects are bad and ven falls into a coma (he reaches out once more, and another hearts answers. “you can stay here a while, I don’t mind” says the other heart. yes its fucking sora again. too good, too pure)

-3: aqua gets knocked out to start with, but then she fights vanitas controlling ventus’ body, which eventually gets sorted out. terra’s dissapeared at this point, and she takes a comatose ven and hides him in the land of departure, which she uses a secret mechanism to turn into Castle Oblivion (and thus, impossible to navigate  without her key)

-aqua goes to hunt down terra(nort), and finds him in radiant garden. they fight, aqua wins, but when he begins to sink into the darkness she sacrifices herself to save him (which is how he ends up as one of ansem’s apprentices and mostly without any memories)

-aqua will spend the next ten years in the realm of darkness

-bbs is such a goddam tragedy

-OKAY

-time to fast forward

-so sora and ven are connected, which is why vanitas and roxas look the way they do, which brings us to

-the case of xion

-and 358/2

-the worst game to play but my absolute favourite in terms of slow-burn pacing and emotionally investing you in the characters

-this game pretty much just deals with the year sora spent asleep, and the kids time in the organization.

-roxas wakes up with no memories, is inducted into the org, and told “kill heartless with your keyblade”. He’s more or less a zombie at first, and accepts this without question.

-a week later, a new member is introduced, named Xion, who also has a keyblade, and is also a zombie with no memories at first

-Axel, the org’s assassin, is basically told to babysit them both

-he’s not really into it at first, but those natural Big Brother instincts kick in Hard about five minutes later and from that point on he’s mostly just trying to keep them both alive.

-oh, also Lea, Axel’s somebody, met Ventus in bbs, so that was probably a little weird for him.

-as the game goes on and these kids essentially learn how to human and try to figure out what makes them different, the Big Plots stew in the background. Axel and Saix have some kind of plan that Axel apparently isn’t sticking to, and Axel questions his loyalties more as the game goes on and circumstances force him to choose between two kids Who Did Nothing Wrong, and his oldest friend.

-Xion learns they are a replica, a la Repliku, created as a backup to roxas if he could not fulfil his duty in creating kingdom hearts. their connection with roxas, and through him sora, has the unintended side effect of flitering memories and feelings into and through Xion.

-this is why putting sora back together takes so long

-Xion, between the pressure of being an org member in general, and the mental load from being caught between three+ people in a very literal sense, has a breakdown. Riku finds them, and despite a pretty rocky start between them, helps them through it.

-Xion leaves at two different points, the first time, Axel brings them back. “please don’t hold back, Axel. Promise.” “Everyone always thinks they’re right”

-excuse me i have to lay down again after thinking about how emotionally wrought this scene is.

-(the alternative is he has to kill them. he does everything he can to avoid that, but it’s clearly approaching an unsustainable situation; the org is running out of patience for dealing with the ‘clearly defective replica’, xion doesnt feel this situation is right, and axel just wants to keep everyone alive.

-yes typing ‘clearly defective replica’ physically hurt me. xion is a perfect bab and xemnas can fite me

-Xion leaves again

-Roxas, learning pieces of this but not all, runs away from the org. cue titular “no one would me” “that’s not true!” scene from 2

-(this leads to what is a hilariously depressing scene of roxas on the clocktower looking at his life and going “where could i even run to? I havent got anywhere to go” because he’s never known anything other than the organization and whoops i made myself sad again)

-namine explains to xion that sora can never wake up so long as they have his memories. The only way for them to release the memories is to die. It’s a hard decision.

-Xion meets roxas on the clocktower, feigns insanity, and goads him into fighting them (”do you see my face, roxas? is it a boys face? don’t you see. I have to make you a part of me too.”)

-cue more ff style boss fights

-xion dies

-look i can’t go into detail on this one i’ll start crying again, xion dies, everyone forgets they ever existed, and roxas gets to watch them shatter into dust in his arms.

-in the brief period where the memories are quickly vanishing but Not Quite Gone Yet roxas goes into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and storms the World That Never Was

-this is where Riku catches up to him, and from there its a pretty straight shot into the beginning of kh2

-which im sure if you played these in chronological order would be *some kind of mood whiplash* i bet

-okay what have i missed

-recoded happened. the only important part here is that malificent and pete find out about the black box and malificent being malificent of course she Has To Have It

-”but whats the black box??” you ask

-good question

-we still dont know

-its  origin point is in KHUx though, 

-which is the multiplayer mobile game set during the Keyblade War of ages past. each weilder also has a companion dream eater named chirithy

-there are five unions, each headed by a leader and represented by an animal (unicorn, bear, snake, fox, and leopard)

-#anguisforlife

-these five (plus one more, named luxu) are each given roles by their master (the Master of Masters, or also known as MoM). He also tells them there is a traitor amongst the warriors of light. it’s unclear at this point how much of this he is directly steering. He also doesnt specifiy Which warriors of light, probably on purpose so everything happens as it should.

-so figure, trying to figure out who the traitor is is a pretty direct cause to no one trusting each other and eventually going for each others throats

-there is a page from the book of prophecies he gives only to luxu, who he tells that his role is to see the future with this Special Keyblade (and specifically the Eye in it). You might recognise it as xehanorts keyblade (and then you’ll start to see the Eye in a whole bunch of other ones too, notably in soul edge, way to dawn, and void gear)

-luxu fucks off, and everyone else goes about their business

-the first half of khux details how these unions came to  be rivals, and then how they fell into war with each other and destroyed the light. the second half detailed how Ava, leader of the fox union, created a fifth group known as the dandelions, specifically picked to survive the fall of the light and rebuild.

-ventus and lauriam are two of these leaders. No, we still don’t know how they got from one point to the other.

-one of the replacement leaders, strelitzia, got murdered and replaced by someone else. i think this plot point has been resolved in japan but i havent checked yet

-strelitzia is lauriam’s sister. she also knows elrena.

-and if you’re bad at anagraming like i am, lauriam=marluxua, and elrena=larxene

-so yeah figure that one out for me

-also i love strelitzia she has like two scenes total and i was already ludicrously attached help

-(Yes i screamed very hard during that One Scene in 3. we dont even see her face but it’s heerrrrrrrr)

-anyways

-right the black box

-luxu is seen carrying it off in the Back Cover movie as he wanders into exile. we still dont know whats in it. and that’s basically that.

-which leaves just Dream Drop Distance

-sora and riku take a Highly Modified mark of master exam under yen sid.

-things go wrong almost immidietly

-sora gets trapped by the xehanorts in a deep sleep, where they plan to use him as one of their 13 vessels of darkness

-there has to be 13 for some reason

-13 darknesses, and 7 lights, and when they clash it’ll make the X-blade

-because reasons

-it’s fate or something

-riku rescues him

-there is time travel involved now

-because at this point the 13 darkness now include; heartless ansem, master xehanort, xemnas, young xehanort, xigbar, and saix.

-more time travel will be involved later, but to keep this in mind the rules of time travel here are

     -you cannot take your body with you

     -you lose any future knowledge you gain if and when you return

-things are obviously wibbly here because it’s half in the dreamscape, but just. keep those rules in mind when you play 3.

....... im sure im missing a bunch but i just spent two hours writing the most casual pre-kh3 synopsis ever i hope you can forgive me XD

[localrobosexual]

so how about The Last Knight huh

HECKO I totally forgot to make that post about what I thought about Transformers 5 after I watched it whOOPS

so here they are now!! :0 it’s kinda long though. Sorry about that. Unlike my post about GOTG Vol. 2 that one time, for this one I just kinda wrote down some erratic notes about thoughts and reactions I had as I watched the movie, and then I kinda summed up my opinion about it overall down at the end?? so yeah. That’s how this one is gonna play out lol. Generalized running commentary style.

(fair warning: this WILL contain spoilers!! Like I can’t,,, , talk about it without giving stuff away lmao. If you haven’t seen the movie, and still want to and plan on doing so, I don’t recommend you read this!)

alright u made it past the spoiler warning so here we go!!

-  Quintessa gave me a lot of G1 Unicron vibes with the whole "I made you, you are mine to command" thing

- "Why do we tell these stories, besides the fact that dragons are wicked" girl same lmao

- I literally cannot. CANNOT. Take Barricade seriously. With those ridiculous "punish" and “enslave” branded brass knuckles. Buddy. My dude. Please chill. You're literally trying to be so edgy man just. Turn it down a notch lmao - Optimus literally didn't sound at all like himself at first?? It sounded like he had a different voice actor for those first few lines he spoke?? That was weird. It wasn't until the second time he appeared on screen where Quintessa was telling him about where the staff was hid was I like "oh wait yeah there's Peter Cullen" - the "Cybertron is coming" shot looked sUPER fake and green screened to me for whatever reason?? like idk I think it was the lighting they had on him but it was reALLY FUNNY PFFFFTT

- Bee swinging his legs on top of that roof was sUPER CUTE THANK U IM BLESSED

- Mohawk. Um. Who thought turning Junkrat into a Transformer was a good idea bc that’s literally all this dude is lmao

- What kind of name is Nitro Zeus. Im cryin. PRETTY SURE HE HAS THE SAME VOICE ACTOR AS THE ONE TIGER ALIEN FROM BEN 10??? I DON’T REMEMBER HIS NAME BUT HE WAS THE ONE THAT ALWAYS WENT "LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHIN". WHY DOES HE HAVE SHOCKWAVE'S FACE. IM SO DONE

- I like how they had the whole holoform bike thing going on?? like how Prowl's was in TFA and Arcee’s was in TFP that was neato - I WILL NEVER GET USED TO HEARING BUMBLEBEE SWEAR I S2G but the Siri voice thing was pretty funny ngl. I saw that in a trailer on instagram and didn't actually think it was actually a real scene that they kept I thought it was just made for that specific ad but nOPE IT WAS REAL LMAO - Megatron musing over Starscream's decapitated head oh my god liSTEN MAN PUT HIM DOWN DONT BE LIKE THIS COME ON - HI CAN WE TALK ABOUT COGSMAN I LOVE COGMAN A LOT I LOVE HIM HE WAS REALLY GREAT EASILY A BIG FAVE HE WAS SO ENJOYABLE TO WATCH I love how,,, ok heck I don't know this guy very well bc I didn't watch Age of Extinction but it's the green dude with the trench coat built into him,,, Crosshairs?? I think it's Crosshairs yeah but the fact that he called him a C-3PO rip off was fUNNY MAN that also got a good laugh outta me and he totally rekt his heckin finger lmao. He was rlly short?? that surprised me kinda like from the trailers it looked like he was pretty average human sized but nope he’s super short - BEE'S DOUBLE CHEST POUND FINGER GUN "ayyy my dude" THING WAS ADORABLE THANK U - THEY ACTUALLY WENT THROUGH WITH THE WHOLE EARTH BEING UNICRON THING HOLY HECK now that,,, that was really interesting. Didn't expect that. AND the whole Nemesis Prime deal?? OP getting brainwashed?? THAT'S why he's heckin evil nO WONDER MAN GEEZ I didn't think OP would willingly do all that to the earth just because. That makes me feel a lot better actually lmao - Soundwave!! Shockwave!! u guys are famous!! wow way to go im so proud of u!!!! - Hot Rod tho,,,, , oh boy he was a mess lmao. I only really know Hot Rod through MTMTE and the 80s Transformers movie so,, , not too too much to go off of, but he just was so incredibly DIFFERENT and off-putting from what I was used to that I honestly didn't like him so much?? I mean he was alright. Grew on me a bit more as the movie went on I think. He was ok. That time warp weapon thing he had was cool tho!! nice!! seemed kinda overpowered a bit but cool!! - COGMAN SPINNING AROUND IN A CIRCLE WHILE HE WALKED THE DOG WAS ADORABLE THANK U - you know that movie trope where he background music will become like a song on the radio and then a character comes and switches it off?? YEAH THEY DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN THIS MOVIE WITH THE EPIC WORLD-CHANGING ORGAN MUSIC AND I JUST. COGMAN GOING HAM ON THAT ORGAN HAD ME CRYYYYYYYIIINNG HE WAS SO INTO IT MAN OH MY GO D. I LOVE COGMAN THANK U THAT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE TROPES AND IT WAS HILARIOUS GOD BLESS - HE CAN SING OPERA TOO IM CRYYYYIINNNG MAN JUST. PLEASE LET HIM HYPE UP THE MOMENT HE'S DOING HIS BEST!!!! - THE TABLE WAS WRITTEN IN OLD CYBERTRONIAN yknow if you could get Cyclonus down there he could probs read that for you no problem. Or don't actually. Please don't drag him into Bayverse oh I s2g nevermind nevermind - HEY MAN I LOVED THAT ROBOT HYDRA WOO BOY THAT WAS COOL and it's like?? a Combiner?? but not really. Burton just said the twelve knights combined into the dragon but I doubt they can all unfuse from that form lmao it was probs just a one time thing. So not a Combiner. Still cool tho. Robot dragons. SICK!!!!!! - HEY they did the whole Unicron's a planet-eating god thing this time around too wow. Neat. Listen man all I'm saying is I glad I watched TFP and bits of G1 and that 80s movie bc if not I woulda had no idea why Unicron was important lmao. That was pretty neat tho!! Interesting. Interesting. - OK BUT COGMAN LAUGHING AND SINGING "MOVE B!TCH GET OUT THE WAY" WHILE DRIVING 200 MPH DOWN THE ROAD WAS HILARIOUS WHAT A BLESSING THANK U - Surprisingly Bee seemed to be ok in that open water??? Hanging on to the side of a submarine?? I mean. Salt water man. Buddy watch out ur gonna rust plEASE BE CAREFUL

- speaking of which didn’t they say there was gonna be a submarine transformer in this movie?? like didn’t they say that in interviews before the movie came out?? I mean. We never saw that. It might’ve been that the submarine WAS a transformer but it never spoke, never transformed, nothing. Didn’t give any indication that it was uniquely Cybertronian aside from Vivian’s magic touch thing. Idk. That wasn’t explained so I mean. Hmm.

- Cogman can make sushi!! dang!! wow!!! bravo!!! - OP'S HECKIN INTERDIMENSIONAL BOOB POCKET OH MY GO D dang wish I had one of those lmao - THAT FINAL FIGHT WITH OP AND BEE THO AAAAAAAA OH MY GO S H HECKO MAN!!!! OPTIMUS RIPS OFF BEE'S DOOR WINGS MAN!!! GEEZ!!!! what I wanna know is like since when did Bumblebee have a hammer lmao. Like,, , is it supposed to the the Forge of Solus Prime?? When did he get that?? How and why?? I don't know and it was never explained but I mean. Why tho. - OH MY GOD BUT BEE'S VOICE!! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!!! DANG!! WOW BUDDY!!! AAAA!! IM GLAD HE'S OK!!! and that's all it takes to snap Optimus outta his brainwashed phase lmao ok then. Cool. Wasn’t what I expected him to sound like either but then again I really don’t know what I expected in the first place lmao - I feel a LOT better knowing Optimus didn't willingly wanna destroy the earth like. He was brainwashed. And when he snapped outta it he felt absolutely awful about what he did. I mean it felt like that whole plot point was rushed, a lot of this movie felt very rushed, but it makes me feel better at least lmao. Optimus I'm sorry man can I,,, , give u a hug or something man it rlly looks like u need a hug - "YOU CHOSE THE WRONG SIDE" OOOOOH BOY FLASHBACKS TO THAT CAPTAIN AMERICA CIVIL WAR BIT IN PRI.ME(3) LMAOOOO - CADE. BUDDY. YOU CANT JUST BLOCK A SWORD LIKE THAT. THAT WAS A KILLING BLOW DEALT BY A GIANT ALIEN ROBOT I DONT CARE HOW SPECIAL THAT MEDALLION THINGY IS U CANT JUST DO THAT LMAOOOO. And then as soon as he whips that sword out the rest of the knights are like "oh wait yeah let's stop killing this guy we're chill now let's all point out swords together" lmaooooo - Crosshairs' "Love that guy. Goosebumps every time" line after Optimus gives his mandatory speech lmAO DUDE SAME - "You were by far the coolest" alright Cogman you ruined the moment a lil bit but man I still love u hecko - OK THIS IS GONNA SOUND REALLY STUPID BUT LISTEN MAN I'M GLAD THERE WAS,,,, , a lot of hand holding going on towards the end. Like fr. Cogman to dying Burton and Vivian and Cade as they were gonna jump outta that plane onto the Cybertronian tendril whatevers. Just. Small bits of physical reassurance and comfort in times of real great distress. I appreciate that a LOT more than like, watching two characters make out right before the big climactic final showdown lmao. Thank u movie wow I really didn't expect that - SO THERE WAS A COMBINER TEAM!! A COMBINER MINOTAUR!!! DANG NOT EVEN GONNA LIE THAT THING WAS NEATO!!! - Ok forget what I said about Hot Rod at the beginning he redeemed himself at the end. I didn't like him and first but now,, , now we chill. Granted I still can't see him as being HOT ROD bc he's just so different from what I know him as Rodimus but I can still appreciate him as his own character. Cool cool. - OPTIMUS RIDING THE ROBOT HYDRA INTO BATTLE AND BLOWING EVERYTHING UP WAS GREAT. MAN THAT WAS GOOD. "DID YOU FORGET WHO I AM" WOOOO BOY CHILLS MAN!!!! - OH COME ON they still made out. Lmao. Dangit. It was inevitable but I mean come on man. Alright. They kept it short and quick thank you tho if u had to put in a make out scene at least u kept it to a minimum. Thank you. Can we get back to the robots now pls. - AAAAA BUMBLEBEE'S "STING LIKE A BEE" LINE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - that ending was pretty sudden lmao. A lot of this movie was sudden and fast. They just jump cut STRAIGHT to those credits man not even an ending panorama or clean slow zoom out shot or anything lmao - AND OH BOY THEY TEASED UNICRON’S GONNA ACTUALLY COME BACK AND APPEAR IN ANOTHER MOVIE AAAAAAA OH NO OH BOY NOT AGAIN GOSH DARN IT LMAO 

All in all, surprisingly, I actually ended up kinda enjoying it!! Like it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!! Tbh for me it might even be second best in the series!! (First being the first movie from 2008 lmao) Honestly I was really REALLY surprised at how much I didn't hate it. Like. I still dislike it to a degree because it's still Bayverse, and I probably won't watch it again unless I'm with friends (like I do with the rest of the transformers movies) but it honestly wasn't too too bad! It really exceeded my expectations as far as plot, and I wasn't hardcore cringing for most of the movie so hey that's a plus!! The movie had a lot of genuinely funny moments, especially with Cogman, which got some pretty good laughs outta me like I was really having fun at those parts!! Optimus’ absence for most of the movie didn’t sit well with me for some reason. Like it just felt strange. But it kinda had to be for the story to move forward so I guess I can forgive that lol. The pacing was REALLY whack and way too fast though. Like they were REALLY trying to cram a whole lotta stuff into a relatively short amount of time. The movie's almost two and a half hours long but it really didn't feel like that because of how fast the pacing was. Some of the dialogue felt really forced because of this issue too. It didn’t feel genuine sometimes. But that has to be like, pretty much my only specific issue with it?? surprisingly?? wow. I'm honestly super shocked lmao dang man I didn’t think I’d like this movie at all but I was very much proved wrong!! I hated those old ladies tho and their obsession to get Vivian a boyfriend and the whole innuendo thing. Yeah. No. Don't do that. Stop. I'm too ace for this. 

anyways yeah those were my thoughts sorry that was so long lmao whoops

24. favorite scene you’ve ever written

Asks for fanfic writers

24:

That’s a tough one. I’ve written a number of scenes that I still grin over. It’s not very often I like my own work, but a few do spring to mind. The majority of them I actually co-wrote with others.

I’ll add a couple here.

Conflict of Interests

A fic based on the old fan Inspector Gadget series Go Go Gadgetinis. This was a collab between me and @thatredheadedchick12

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15563118

As Gadget heard the ruckous die down, he relaxed a bit more. “Actually it isnt so bad after you get past the initial metallic bitterness. It has a very unique after taste.” He smiled before taking another healthy pull, as his brain already began to grow a bit cloudy around the edges.

“Good, I’m glad you like it. Just be sure to take it slow. If you aren’t used to drinking then it could go to your head fast.” She relaxed and braced herself on the bar with her elbows. “So…” She peered at him under the brim of his hat. “Tell me about your gadgets? I am curious about them. What kind of stuff do you have in that there body of yours?”

He set his glass down from another healthy pull as he listened to her. Something about taking it slow? Oh. His gadgets! “Well there isnt a lot I dont have. I actually have a mobile phone in my right hand. Keys, pen, helecopter…” he went on listing each gadget hidden within him as he looked at her. He was happy to tell her about himself. As he was happy to listen to her talk about herself. She was a very interesting lady and he very much enjoyed how he felt around her. They barely knew one another for 24 hours and yet he felt as though he had known her a lot longer. The way she acted around him… So… Unique. She was something else and as his head began to cloud a bit more he nearly lost track of his gadgets he listed. “So that is basically all of it. I think I forgot one or two but im sure I will remember them before the night is out. Wowzers this is good.” He took another pull, as her voice telling him to take it slow sounded deep within his mind. However a louder voice was yelling at him to drink the beautiful liquid faster as each sip tasted better than the last.

“So, you’re quite the package, huh?” She raised her glass to her lips once more. “You really are as amazing as they said you are.” Prince offered a wink before having another good swig of her ale. He was fascinating. She’d never met anyone like him before. In the back of her mind there was a prickling sensation, but she tried to drown it out by downing the rest of her glass in one go and ordering another. “You good, or are you up for another?”

As he drained his glass completely, he hiccuped rather loudly. “I… Yes! Yes another. If you dont mind?” he asked as the cloud began to take hold. It was so delicious! He couldnt help himself!

She patted him on the back and gestured for two to the bartender. “Wow, I’m glad we did this! I got to introduce you to something new and it’s been fun!”

Dick had been spying around the corner and saw her pat his back and then snake her arm around his shoulder. His brows knitted together as a pang of jealousy washed over him. That was not right…

Digit was having very much the same issue as he looked inwards through the mucky old window and almost slipped and fell off the dumpster he was stood on.

Gadget tried to swallow the lump in his throat as she threw her arm around his shoulder. “Y-yeah. You know what? I am glad we did this too. I was honestly afraid you would reject the idea of dinner with me after all the stuff I had done this morning.” His face turned instantly red as he recalled the details of his face between the twin peaks. “I… Uh… Yeah. I am glad you accepted.” His speech was slightly slurred, but not to the point of being unintelligable. As the barkeep brought their drinks he clapped his hands like a giddy school boy in a chocolate shop before he took a good swig of his beverage.

Prince let out a loud and hearty laugh as she watched him down his drink. “Think nothing more on this morning! It’s all water under the bridge. I know you didn’t mean any of it.” She joined him in downing the ale, her own brain now comfortably fuzzy. “It’s best to forget… Especially if we’re working together for a while. And you know what? I like you! You’re the best partner I’ve had so far!”

He smiled stupidly as his face took on a pink tinge from the alcohol. “And you know what?” he said before taking a few more swigs. “You…. Are amazing yourself. And not bad on the eyes.” The fuzz completely took over. He downed his stout in no time and pushed his glass forwards. “Nmmn I think I have had… ‘Hic’….. Enough…” He said as the slurring became a bit more prominant.

Easy on the eyes? Her face suddenly flushed a vivid red colour over the compliment. “Oh! W-Well, thank you, I er…” She chugged the rest of her stout, not really knowing how to respond to such a comment and placed it back down with a wobbly hand. “Me too. M-Meee tooo. I think… We… Uh… Did you wanna go? Or stay a while?”

“I… I am up for whatever you are up for. We can uh… Head back to the hotel if you want.” he said as he picked up his glass and slammed the dregs before returning it to its coaster. He attempted to get up, but ended up tripping on the bar stool and fell backwards, causing the row of chairs behind him to fall like a line of dominoes. “Heh. Whoops.”

That was strangely funny and she found herself laughing so much she couldn’t even stand up straight due to her stomach muscles tensing. She offered a shaky hand to him, still chuckling over the perfect way the chairs had fallen. “You stupid arse!”

The landlord, however, wasn’t impressed and gave them a glare.

Dick watched as Prince made for the exit with Gadget and felt a tug at his heart. It wasn’t fair… He couldn’t even speak to her. If he did, he’d risk everything.

Gadget hardly even registered the dirty looks as he took Prince’s hand and stood, nearly toppling over again. “Yes. I say we go back to the hotel now.” he said as he walked rather wobbly over to the doors and attempted to hold the door open for Prince, which was actually the only thing keeping him from faceplanting into the sidewalk.

She skipped her way awkwardly onto the pavement outside and moved quickly to Gadget’s aid as she could see him wobbling rather badly. She caught hold of him around the chest and propped him up as best as she could. “Wooooah now, hehe. You gotta stay upright! I’m not strong enough to carry you.”

“Never fear dear lady for I am…. I can walk!” he announced a bit too enthusiastically. Fortunately the hotel was a block away. “Is it hot out here?” he asked as he loosened his tie a bit. He felt… Amazing. Laid back. Relaxed. As though all his cares just melted away.

She still had hold of him, but adjusted herself so that she kept one arm around him under his own. She wasn’t feeling too steady on her legs either. In fact, the pavement was looking a bit uneaven. “It’s n-not far!” She giggled as she swayed and then came back against him with a thud. “Someone needs to tell the street to stop it.”

“It is a lot more uneven than the last time we were through here. Obviously the earth shifted!” Gadget stated as he held on to Prince.

It was a hell of a trek, but they had made it back to the hotel and Gadget had finally gotten her safely back to her room. “Welp… Prince… I ‘ave had a 'hic’ wonderul evening. I… Thank you.” he said with a silly smile as he turned to look at her, reaching up to caress her face and nearly missing.

She reached out, the night air having enhanced the drunken effects and patted his face back in return the same way as he was doing with hers. “You too! This was… Like… SO fun. We need to do it again. Because, we… I mean… We won’t get long to like… Work together and stuff. You know?” She swayed a little and used her free hand to brace herself on the wall that joined onto her bathroom.

Inside the room by the window, Data and Scooter were on recharge mode and that meant they were dead to the worldand Prince glanced over quickly to make sure they hadn’t woken up.

“Yes! Oh yes. Please. I mean… If you want. I quite enjoyed tonight. I… Yes. May I do anything for you before I turn in for the night?” he asked in his gentlemanly fashion. He probably wouldnt have been able to do much in his current state of mind, but he would try none the less.

Prince wobbled a bit again and used her other hand to grab his jacket. “I think… I think it’s… That’s all. I mean… Unless you can tell the room, the floor and my bed to hold still.” It was unusual for her to feel so woozy after just two pints, so her theory about the cask sitting for a while must have been correct. What was originally just over 6% was probably closer to a 9%.

“I… I mean I can try!” he said happily as he walked, no, staggered into her room. “Listen here room! Prince isn’t in a mood for your incooperative nature! Behave!” he said as he shook his fist at the room and it’s general contents.

Prince wobbled inside a bit as she watched him order the room to stop its shenannigans. “My hero!” She clapped playfully and laughed as he waved his fist around. The fact that he was trying was brilliant and she was glad he had a sense of humour. She’d hate to have been saddled with a partner who was as funny as a brick to the face.

“All 'n a day’s work m'lady” he said as he struck a heroic pose as he attempted to bring her in for a hug. What was the worst she could do? Push him away? He felt… Bold. He supposed they werent kidding when they called alcohol liquid courage.

She didn’t put up a fight, in fact she was still chuckling and hugged him back in return. It was a pity his threats hadn’t stopped the room from moving around so much, but she could live with that. She snaked her arms around his chest and held onto him tightly. “Are you a knight in shining armour doing battle against the evils of spinning rooms and shifting floors?”

“For you, anything.”

King of Iron Fist Tournament 8

A fic in collaboration with @thatredheadedchick12 again. NSFW WARNING

https://archiveofourown.org/works/13810308

Inside her room Rae breathed a sigh of relief as the hammering on her door stopped. She didn’t fancy the maid stumbling across her bloody corpse, after all. She slowly slumped back onto her bed and let out a large sigh. Great, now she’d definitely screwed up and made an enemy. Maybe he wasn’t malfunctioning after all.

Raihiko leaned against her door and let out a sigh. She could hear the muffled argument going on outside, but at least she couldnt see is anymore. Dear god. That thing should be registered as a weapon!

Bryan, however, wasnt going to waste any more time. He reared back and punched a hole near the handle and quickly unlocked and opened it and stormed right in.

“You want to fucking die- you!” he snapped as he recognized the heap on the bed.

Rae flailed as she heard the splintering of wood, as she sat bolt upright on her bed, her leather jumpsuit around her waist. “THE FUCK!?” There, stood in his white underwear, was Bryan looking exceedingly miffed. “You call that fucking knocking!?”

“I fucking knocked.” he growled as the fact that her jumpsuit was around her waist completely went over his head. “The fuck is the big idea?” he hissed as he stepped closer, letting the broken door swing shut behind him.

Meanwhile Raihiko had grabbed a cocktail glass and was listening in. If he was going to throttle her new friend she would be ready to jump in, but she felt if she barged in there that very second she would only make it worse.

Rae grabbed a nearby pillow and held it in front of her. “The hell are you even talking about!? I was minding my own business trying to cool down and having a banging contest with whoever was next door! And now this? Now my door is busted and people can see in!” She hurled her pillow towards him in frustration. “I don’t want any old git seeing me change!”

Bryan growled as he caught the pillow from out of the air and tossed it to thw side.

“Yeah! That was me telling you to shut the fuck up! I’m next door.” His voice rumbled as he stepped closer.

“That was YOU? Oh for crying out loud. Why didn’t you just yell? You do enough of it as it is!” She tried to battle with her jumpsuit again, her skin sticking to the fabric again making it hard work. “How was I to know that thud was you saying that?”

Sergei had been disturbed from his poetry reading by the commotion and has ventured outside of his room to see what was going on. If it was someone who had come for him, he would deal with it. As the shouting continued, his eyes narrowed. No. It wasn’t for him. But whoever it was they were sure being overly loud and loutish.

Rai’s eyes widened as she tossed the glass on her bed. She grabbed her Tonfa from the top of her bag as she moved to her door and quickly opened it to see she was not the only one disturbed by the happenings. She looked to the man across from her before she moved to Rae’s door. She noticed the big hole near the handle and swallowed hard. She didnt want to use her weapons. She wpuld surely be disqualified from competing if she attacked another competitor, but she wouldnt let this brute harm her new aquaintance. She stood by the door, listeing as he tonfa rested against the back of her arms, the end blades past her handles resting on the back of her thighs. She was ready if she was needed.

Sergei simply regarded the other woman who had joined him in the hallway. When he caught sight of her weapons, he gave her a very subtle shake of the head.

Raihiko tilted her head at the man in the doorway.

“What? Am i supposed to just let him tear her apart?” she whispered harshly as she backed up to her doorway. Was he nuts? Though…. Maybe he was right? Maybe she shouldny poke the bear with her weapons.She gave them a professional spin before she retreated to throw them on her bed for now before she ran back to the hallway to listen.

Bryan narrowed his eyes. She was certainly testing his self restraint, and there wasnt much there to begin with.“An idiot would know a knock to the wall is a sign of shut the fuck up!” he yelled as he balled his fists. He was on the verge of seething. This woman was jump roping with his last nerve.

Sergei simply stood with his eyes on the broken door. He was conflicted with regard to the other female voice he could hear coming from inside. This was the King of Iron Fist. If she was unable to defend herself, why would she be here? But if he allowed Bryan to go ahead and kick seven shades out of her, what sort of gentleman would he be? Not that he would ever really speak about such things, but he had strong opinions. He glanced over to Raihiko, moved forwards and leaned against the wall next to Rae’s door, his arms folded across his chest and one boot on the paintwork.

Rai blinked as the man stood besides her and leaned against the wall. Wait, would he help her take bryan if he tried to take out Rae?

“Can you see anything?” she asked in a whisper as she tried to peer around him. Wait. Could he ever understand her? She couldnt quite figure it out yet. He hadnt said a word. She didnt even know his name! She nearly tripped on her own foot as she tried to move around him to get a better look.

He held out a gloved hand to stop her toppling over, but to also stop her revealing herself. The hole in the door was large enough to be able to see movement through, after all. He slowly raised a digit on his other hand up to his lips. He didn’t want to do anything if it was not needed and he certainly didn’t want them to know they were there.

“An idiot!? Rich coming from someone who just goes around destroying things for no god damn reason and then expects me to magically know via telepathy or some shit that a bang on the wall meant shut up when he is CLEARLY capable of using his brutish, overly loud voice!” She shot to her feet. “And another thing! What gives you the right to even enter my room?”

Bryan ground his teeth as he tried to keep his cool.

“You know what? Fuck you.” he said as he turned on his heel to leave. He was pissed. And if he didnt leave now, the maid would be scraping her off the walls.

“Try to keep it the fuck down in here.” he growled before he ripped open the door.

Rae felt her stomach churn as he turned to leave and watched his retreating form until the door had slammed shut behind him. Something didn’t quite sit right again. Why was he being so passive? It wasn’t that she wanted to die horribly. But she couldn’t help but wonder what was happening to the man… If he could be called that. She scrunched her eyes shut and flopped back down on her bed as images of his white underwear assaulted her mind. She would find out, though. She had always enjoyed watching his fights, so if he was breaking then surely someone needed to be informed.

Outside Sergei stood bolt upright as Bryan left the room, the door slamming, but swinging due to the broken handle and lock.

Rai slapped her hands over her mouth to stop the sudden gasp that nearly escaped her lips. “Arigato. I am normally not so-” but she was cut off by the form of Bryan plowing through the door. She suddenly pressed her back against the man, trying to make herself small as the brute trudged back to his room.

Bryan didnt even register that he had a mini audience as he ripped open his own door and entered before slamming it shut, causing Rai to flinch. She finally let out the breath she didnt realize she was holding.

He was pissed. He grabbed his pack off the table and lit up a smoke as he began pacing. He needed to let off some damn steam. But how? That bitch next door to him had really lit a fire under his ass.

Rae was also pissed. She scrubbed at her face furiously and rolled off of her bed. Once she was on the floor she shuffled to the adjoining wall and punched it making sure it made as much noise as possible without damaging it. “NEXT TIME WEAR SOME DAMN CLOTHES, YOU FUCKING ASS!”

An FF7 fic with no title I started years ago and never finished. It’s so old and terrible, But i enjoyed writing the comical dialogue.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2836442/chapters/6363332#workskin

Seeing the city in the distance, they both swallowed loudly. It was a beautiful place, but they only saw it as a place of evil.

“DAMMIT”, cried Cloud punching at a near by shrub, “Why!?”

Cid decided to follow suit and began to strangle a small sapling, but to no avail.

One of them needed to get a grip, as flying off the hook in such a manner was really not going to do them any good. So, Cid, seeing he was getting no where in his attempted sapling strangulation, took a deep breath and tried his best to calm Cloud down.

“I don’t get why. I mean… I do! But, WHHHYYYY?!”

“Get a grip, man… DAMMIT!” Cid gave him a good thwack across the face, to which Cloud responded by sniffing.

Wacky Races 2004 - Chapter 14 (Chapter 6 of DD’s Ending - Survivalists)

A fanfic I started in 2002/2003. One chapter in particular stands out, as I wrote it with my husband.

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9018259/1/Wacky-Races-2004

The wind howled against the side of the car causing the snow to form large drifts. The windshield had been smothered blocking all view to the outside world. Rachel shivered into her coat and laughed at Dick as he struggled to get to the back seat over the stick and hand brake.

“Drat! Double drat! Last time I opt for a manual!”

In his frustration he forgot to balance his weight and keened forward.

Raising a brow Rachel placed her hands on her hips. “Hey, careful of the upholstery. I jus… What do you mean YOU? It’s my car you fool.”

Another laugh echoed through the car, but it was cut short as he lost his balance.

“Ah. AGH!”

His head was caught in a dizzy whirlwind where images of planes and pidgeons assaulted his mind. He thought how lucky he had been to have his fall suppressed by the vehicle’s air bags but then…remembered that was at the front of the car.

“Oh…my…”

Rachel let out a surprised shriek, pushed his shoulders back and leaped backwards in her seat. She wasn’t sure how to feel and flushed red hot. “Aiiyaah, c-careful where you stick that nose of y-yours!”

It suddenly felt very warm in the car and it wasn’t anything to do with the heaters.

He reflexively touched his nose in response to the comment. The assertion blocking out any guilt of having accidently violtated his fellow racing competitor.

“Look Felicity Funbags! I happen to have a nose of character! What occured was an accident - pure and simple!”

She had adopted a somewhat fetal position in the corner of the car, her knees up to her chest.

“What did you just call me!?”

Her brow furrowed, but it was difficult to tell due to the lack of light in the car.

“And, yes. I suppose I should expect it from you. Mr Accidents-R-Us!” She scoffed and flailed a finger in the dim light towards what she hoped was his face. “You’re so accident prone it’s a wonder people don’t follow you in an ambulance!”

“Accidents? Those were fully intentional schemes gone awry to secure the lead posi-” He stopped and brushed a finger over the tip of his nose. “Uh, yes. You’re right accidents.” He chided, settling into the back seat opposite her.

“Hmph.” She pulled her coat on tighter even though she was radiating heat. “Anyway, you’re here now. I told you that the front seat was no good for sleep.”

The wind howled louder, subsided and then got up again as she paused for a moment to figure out just how close he was sitting.

“I told you there was room for two.”

“Then how did you fit back here?”

He smirked to himself twisting his moustache around his index finger then realised Muttley was not there to be present to his jest. It felt a little depressing not hearing that familiar snicker.

“I beg your p…” she certainly was not going to stand for that comment.

She swung a punch satisfied that it would at least land somewhere that hurt.

Removing his plump hat and toying with it in his hands as he thought on the absence of his cohort and was suddenly surprised to see a fist punch through it’s crown.

“Eegads! My hat!”

“What?”

Rachel struggled to see in the dim light and could just make out the outline of Dick flailing with his hat.

“What about your hat? Nuts to your hat! You insulted me!”

“Getoffgetoffgetoffgetoff-!”

In his panic, he yanked his hat towards himself trying to get the fist through it out but through lack of planning yanked the entire arm and body of Rachel onto him.

“Oof!” She landed with a thud, face first onto his chest, her fist still stuck through his precious head gear.

A moment passed as she attempted to get up, her free hand slipping off the side of the leather seat every time she tried to push herself up and landing on Dick each time she aimed wrong.

“Agh! Eep! Let go!”

Dick froze with his arms paralyzed above his head holding the hat aloft as the aggressive woman continued to rise and fall onto him. Thoughts were a luxury his male biology couldn’t afford right now.

Rachel felt him tense under her and this made her realize just what sort of a predicament she was in. She took the opportunity to attempt to get up. Each movement was slow and exaggerated to be sure she didn’t make the situation any worse.

He lay stiff like a board, watching her arm slip easilly out of the hat despite having created the awkward situation earlier.

After managing to sit up once more, she fanned herself with a hand and squinted towards her racing companion.

“A-Are you OK?”

He seemed to still be rigid and she began to get a little concerned.

“Hey! I s-said are y-you OK?” She prodded him lightly and as best as she could in low visibility in the hopes of stirring some sort of reaction.

“Fine as wine!” He squeaked out.

He still didn’t move. Her body atop his prevented any thoughts of movement.

She slowly slid herself off and returned to her corner. He certainly didn’t sound fine, despite what he said.

“Are you sure?”

She drew her knees back in towards her chest and gave him some room.

“I didn’t hurt you or anything, did I?”

He pulled the hat back over his crown to hide the heat in his cheeks as he rose to sit much like she did opposite him.

“Not at all! Perish the thought!”

“Oh phew!” She let out a sigh of relief. Though she wanted to punch him for that comment, it was only going to be a light punch. She didn’t want to cause too much harm to him. After all, she was fond of the idiot.

“Uh, so, er…” She twiddled her thumbs. “Nice weather. Shame about all the frostbite.”

He chortled nervously.

“Eheh, why yes. It’s very…” He looked out the window with a sigh. “Bitey.”

“Bitey?” Rachel shuffled around a little. “Yes. Bitey frostbite. Mmm.” It seemed as if she was just blurting out any old thing that entered her head. She felt awkward and was not sure what on earth she should do about it. There was no escaping the car, not unless she wanted to walk miles back to the hotel and probably freeze to death on the way.

“Uh…I uh…” He noticed her shiver and removed his purple coat, holding it out to her. “It’s pretty cold so…”

She watched as he took off his coat and hold it out to her. Almost taken aback, she stared at it for a few moments before finally managing to form words. “Oh! N-No, it’s fine. Don’t worry. I don’t want you getting cold either.”

He put it on her and crossed his arms, huffing out a cloud of frosty air.

“H-Hey! Now you’ll get cold.” She started to take it off again to return to him.

He shook his head and laughed.

“You kidding? When I didn’t sleep on the floor the living room in my childhood home was colder than this! Ahah!”

Rachel tilted her head and pulled the sleeve back on. “Living room? Wait, sleep on the floor? You didn’t, did you? When was this? Who made you do that?” Her voice took on a shocked breathlessness as her mind tried to process what he had just said.

“Mother. I think. I just remember a woman who told me what to do. It wasn’t very fun.” He stroked his moustache nostalgically.

“Oh. That sounds rather horrendous. So, it was cold?”

“I suppose. It was the forgetting to feed me that mostly took it’s toll. Oh. The floor. Yeah. It was.”

Rachel lowered her gaze to the floor. “I had no idea. Wow.” A small smile spread across her face. “Well, things are better now, right?” She patted his shoulder. “I mean, you’re a Wacky Racer, after all.”

“It’s alright. I don’t remember much. I can only recall finding a runt in a cardboard box and nursing him back to health.” He touched a finger to his chin, thinking back. “After that it was just schemes and dreams.”

“Dreams? You had something to hope for? I take it that was the goal of winning, right?” She reclined back in her seat and rested her knees against the back of the drivers seat.

“Hope for? No. No nonsense like that. I just kept coming up with reasons to laugh with that stupid mangy hound.” He chuckled despite the remark.

“Heyyy.” She nudged him with her elbow. “He’s not so mangy.” Muttley was indeed a favourite of hers and she found herself feeling terribly sorry for him whenever one of Dick’s plans would backfire. “Is that all you do it for?”

He scratched his chin idly in thought. “I used to believe I was achieving something back in my hayday, but the more I failed. The more I realised I didn’t want to succeed. It was more fun that way.”

“You didn’t want to succeed? But, what about winning the races? Being crowned the world’s wackiest racer? The sponsorships, money, fame?” Rachel’s brow furrowed. “I don’t get it. You always seemed so driven to win.”

He turned to her rather somlemnly and spoke slowly. “But what happens when you do win?”

“I guess,” she looked at her hands, her fingers were nervously linked together, “I guess that you win the money, the title, go on with sponsorships and…” She paused for a moment. “Wait for the next race?”

He nodded not turning away. “And then what?”

“I don’t know. I never really thought about it. I guess people just go on with their lives.” She shrugged her shoulders. It was true, she hadn’t really thought about it. Like everyone, she had just been focussed on winning.

“I don’t want to win or I have nothing left to…what’s that word you used? 'Hope’ for.”

She reeled back in shock. “What? I find that somewhat hard to believe.” She began chewing on her lip anxiously. What he had said had jolted her internally. “Everyone knows who you are and what you do. You could probably do anything you wanted.”

He chuckled and fell back in his chair forgetting the cold for a second. “Haha, my dear, that is precisely what I am doing!”

“But, as you say, then what? What happens when this race is over? What will you do?”

“I would have won and would no long be the dark horse underdog of the Wacky Races. Why would I give up that thrill so easilly? People never think I’m going to win, so it makes it all the more fun when I finally do.”

“So you want to win eventually? Have you thought about when that might be? I mean, you’ve been winning the last couple of races no problems.” She leaned back and rested her head against the seat. After removing her cap, she tossed it into the front and awaited his reply.

He smirked scratching his chin idly with a finger. “Heh, like you…I don’t put much thought into it. I just make sure I’m having fun with it.”

“Like me?” She raised a brow and chuckled under her breath. “What makes you so sure I don’t think about what I do, Mister?” She jabbed him on his shoulder. “I may be smarter than you think.”

“Because if I’m not mistaken when I asked the purpose to winning, you answered and I quote: 'I don’t know. I never really thought about it.’”

Rachel shook her head. “Agh! Damn it. Heyyyy, fine. Come on. It’s late and cold. My head is in a mess.” She chuckled again. “I can’t help it if I’m spouting bollocks. It must be, what… 3AM?” She craned her neck to see her dashboard.

Dick’s Head was lain back under his hat. “Snooooort!” The sounds of his nostrils flaring from exhaustion resounded through the vehicle.

“Hey! HEY!” Rachel jabbed him in his ribs. “Wake up! That’s not fair, you’re not supposed to fall asleep while I’m talking to you!”

He snorted and sat up at attention “Huh whu whassat?”

Unfortunately, when he sat up his head collided with hers. “OUCH! Ooyah!” She grasped her head and keeled over. “Nrrrgh!”

He grasped at his head in pain. “Yeow yeowzer yeow!” He then blinked momentarilly afterward and rather then insult the girl; “Are you alright?”

Rachel just let out a low 'hnnnnn’ sound as she rolled back and fourth on the seat. She now wished she hadn’t removed her hat as it may have stopped or cushioned the blow.

He glanced at her forehead and chuckled “Now, now it isn’t all that bad. Just think we can call it a beauty mark tomorrow!”

She peered up at him with a furious expression, still doubled over on the seat. “I’ll give you beauty mark. Just be glad it wasn’t my eye! How would we explain a black eye?”

He stopped to think a moment then grinned. “Mascara?”

“I don’t wear that crap!”

He smirked. “Oh yes yes, quite. My bad.”

She hit him again, this time harder. “HMPH!”

“Owch! I see your mother passed some wonderful traits onto you,” He said nursing his poor arm.

“OH, we’re talking about mothers, are we?” Her eyes narrowed as a strange smirk spread across her face.

“Yes, well if you ever meet mine I’m sure she’ll be sporting a wicked attitude and moustache herself,” He retorted

That did it. Just the mental image alone. Rachel sucked in air, choked a little and fell about in hysterics. Her mind instantly imagined Dick in a dress.

Dick could only imagine what she was laughing about but he had a pretty good idea.

She attempted to catch her breath and leaned forwards resting her chin on the back of her hands. “Oh man. That’s funny. That’s good stuff.” A tear rolled from the corner of her eye from all the laughter and landed on the seat.

He smirked and tipped his hat at an angle over his eyes as he sat back and cross his arms. “Laugh it up, I know I would.”

After wiping at her eyes with her sleeve she shook her head and pulled on Dick’s coat over her, bundling up like a sausage roll. “You know nothing.”

“Uh huh” was all he could manage. The fatigue dragging his eyes down like weights.

“Ah ah ah!” A hand shot out from under the coat and prodded his ribs. “Are you saying I’m boring?” After sitting up straight she unfurled the coat from around her shoulders and handed it over towards him. “Here. Have it back. You don’t want to end up with a crick in your neck or something.”

He glared unfavorably at her. His eyes stemming red from the lack of sleep he was getting. “Are you capable of shutting up and going to sleep?”

Her brow instantly furrowed and her lips thinned to a small line. “Fine! Take your smelly coat!” She threw it at him. “Telling ME to shut up. Especially after that little stunt at the hotel earlier. What was all that about, huh?” Her voice trailed off into a low mumble as she continued cursing under her breath, turning away in a huff and folding her arms.

He flinched as the coat slapped against his side but just sighed and tried to drift off, ignoring her frustrations.

“And budge over.” She ignored his sighing and pushed her butt into his to shove him further to the side. “Taking all the god damn room. How am I supposed to sleep like that Mister I-Love-You-Shut-Up-And-Go-To-Sleep.” She fidgeted some more and folded her legs under her to take up more room.

He chuckled and made a fake groan. “Oh lord, is that the moon falling? What could this crushing weight be?” He reached out and grabbed a hand full of it to emphasize his point.

Rachel instantly yelped and jumped over to her side. “Aiiie! Watch where you’re grabbing!” She slapped a hand around in his general direction in case he was still trying it.

He had already moved his hand and watched her swat out of corner of his eye, only replying with a chuckle.

“Grabbing ladies butts. You should be ashamed of yourself.” She turned her head and stuck out her tongue. “First you’re all moody then that! HMPH!” She shuffled noisily, trying to make as much noise as she could on purpose.

“When I see a lady…” He yawned. “I’ll be sure to do so.” A wicked smirk arose on his face.

Rachel shot upright and glared at him. “I beg your pardon?!”

He once again lapsed into a bout of snoring under his hat.

“How dare you!?” Her voice was high pitched as she grabbed hold of his hat and began to pelt him with it over and over. “Insult me, will you? Tell me to shut up, will you? Say my ass is as big as the moon, will you!?”

He flailed and twitched under her assault but found himself laughing regardless.

“Stop laughing, you nit!” She continued to swipe. “It’s… not… funny!”

He finally gave in, sat straight and grabbed her wrist in mid attack. “I think you’ll find, my dear, it is.”

“Ouch!” She scowled at him and wiggled her nose in disgust. “Careful how you g…” He kissed her cheek and smiled at her cutting her sentence short. “Don’t… Don’t you try and butter me up, Mister!”

His smirk only widened. “That I can accomodate you with at a later time.”

“Wait… What?” She blinked in confusion, her brain trying to figure out what he had just said. When it finally registered her grimace transformed into a wide, goofy grin. “Now, that’s just dirty.”

He released his grip, twiddling his moustache as he sunk back into his chair. “Dastardly one might say.”

She picked up his coat and flopped it on his lap. “Seriously, though. I’m OK. Take it back and keep warm. I don’t want you getting hypothermia or something.”

“You know” He said, still twiddling his moutache. “They say the best way to keep warm in circumstances like this is to share body heat.”

She blinked again, leaning forward on the seat with her hands. “Wh-What?” She slipped off the seat and quickly caught herself. “They do? Who is this 'they’?”

He only continued in stroking his moustache. “Oh, you know, survivalists.”

“Oh? You know some survivalists?” She gave him a sarcastic grin and yanked at the other side of his mustache.

“Yeah, I contacted them shortly after falling for you.” He mired back at her.

She tilted her head. “What?” An eyebrow raised again. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh nothing you have to concerned about, my dear.”

“Now you said that I can’t HELP but be concerned.” She folded her arms in a huff and sat back roughly.

He replied by only smiling in a dastardly way and snuggled down into his seat.

Silence fell again as Rachel pouted. She hated not being in the know and she was sure he was doing it on purpose. After a while she couldn’t resist piping up again. “So, what else did these survivalists say?”

“About what in particular?” He said gesturing in a quizzative way.

“Well, you said they told you about this whole body heat thing.” She narrowed her eyes. “What else did they say?”

He smirked. “Oh lots of helpful survivalist..things.”

“Liiike?” She leaned forward on her hands and urged him to continue. She did not intend on letting it go.

“Hey look, a sudden distraction!” He pointed wildly in a panicked state at the window.

“Hm?” Her head whipped to the side. “Oh yeah. Snow. Great.” She narrowed her eyes again and slumped back into her seat again. “Fine. I get it.”

He stretched, flexing his fingers infront of him while casting an innocent smile.

Silence once more. Rachel hated uncomfortable silences. She kept giving Dick sideways glances hoping he’d start conversation again. When certain it was a lost cause she sighed. “So, yeah. About Max…”

Dick raised a brow awaiting the end to her statement.

“I didn’t encourage him, you know. That’s not the type of person I am. He just got,” she paused for a second and rubbed the back of her neck. “Clingy.”

This Doggy Bites

Still going RP between me and @dagurlicious

https://www.wattpad.com/story/54795952-this-doggy-bites

Below decks, Dagur had taken to picking at a wooden table with a small blade, mumbling incoherently to himself and occasionally rubbing at his arm. When he heard footsteps his head snapped up to see who dared disturb his brooding time and saw Rae. “What do you want, wench? Can’t you see I’m busy?” He saw the deer on her shoulders and frowned deeper. “I thought I told you to leave that to the men!?”

“Yeah? Well, I didn’t.” She dumped the deer right onto the table that he was picking at and stood with her hands on her hips. “Unlike some, I actually like to pull my weight around here.”

Dagur flinched as the deer hit the table right in front of him with a violent thud. He scowled up at Rae with an unimpressed glare and slammed the blade into the wooden surface. “There you go with those jaded insults again, wench! How about you say what you really mean?” He pushed himself away from the table and circled it until he was face to face with her.

Rae stared up at his face and wrinkled her nose at him, a small smirk on her lips. “You couldn’t handle it if I did, wussboy.” She shoved him playfully. “You can’t even handle a little punch. You whine and complain like a baby!”

She had touched him again. Made physical contact. It may not have been as painful as a punch, but it still caused him to shoot her a nasty look. “Don’t call me that!” He gripped hold of her tunic again. “So help me, I will crush the greedy milk from your bones with my teeth!”

“I haaave noooo idea what you just said, but it sounds brutal and awesome.” She reached her hands up, grabbed hold of his hands and attempted to remove them from her clothing. “Easy on the clothes, Wussboy. Yeesh! I only have this set on board.”

He kept his grip firm despite her attempting to pry his hands off of her attire. “What did I just say!?” He virtually roared in her face, spit flying out of his mouth as he shouted. “I can only take so much of your crap, Rae! Only so much before I-” He began to chuckle, his face breaking from his frown into a psychotic smile. “-Before I snap and teach you a lesson.” He let go of her tunic with one of his hands and moved it to her throat. “Go on. Call me Wussboy again. I dare you.” He moved his face in closer, his nose touching hers and hissed. “I dare you, wench.”

Rae didn’t know how to react. The fact that he had his hand around her throat was one thing, the fact that he was in such a close proximity that she was being tickled by his breath was another. And now he was daring her to call him names again. She tried to avert her eyes to focus her thoughts and continued to attempt to pry his hands off. “I… Well… Why should I? Not on your command. I’m not a trained dog!”

He tightened his grip on her clothing and moved his hand from her throat to her chin, tilted it upwards so that she was looking him dead in the eye and laughed. “Not so tough now, are you? …. Little doggy?” He made a barking sound to tease her further and continued laughing to himself.

Such a mockery, although expected, was not something Rae wanted to let him get away with. She reached her hands out to either side of his helm, yanked him closer, leaned her face in and sunk her teeth into his lower lip triumphantly.

“YARRRGH!” Dagur’s eyes flew open as her teeth sank into his lip in the most agonizing way. The pain was sharp, piercing and intense and he felt tears form in the corners of his eyes. He shoved himself backwards in an attempt to get away from the crazy wench. Unfortunately, that only served to stretch his lip and, in turn, caused more pain and broke the skin. He flailed around and managed to yank his lip free, stumbled back tripping over his own feet, landed against the table and grabbed at his mouth protectively.

Rae wiped her mouth and spat onto the floor. She had not known how he’d react to her doing that and her heart was racing, ready to defend herself should he have retaliated right away. “This doggy bites!”

(http://kindredsuncomic.com/) For those new to CTP, discussions about the comic are freeform, so please feel free to bring up whatever you wish. However, every 30 minutes I will be dropping in a discussion question to help those who would like a prompt. These questions are totally OPTIONAL to answer so pay them no mind if you wish~! Remember, constructive criticism is allowed, but the primary focus here is to have fun and appreciate the amazing comics that the community makes~! Each chat a top comment will be picked and featured on an ad for this chat, so let’s have a great discussion~!

With that said, let us begin with this first question~!

QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'M HERE

snuffysam

As am I

Draco Plato

I really liked the water battle pages, they were super gorgeous to look at

snuffysam

Visually, the water battle was incredible

Superjustin of Time and Space

yo can i jsut take a moment to appreciate Khehaic's hairdo

snuffysam

Hairdo noted

and appreciated

Draco Plato

I like Rofaryn's design most, haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

i always like when characters have "out there" haircolors/styles- they're super easy to appreciate imo(edited)

If I had to say one thing

this is a pretty epic shot too

Draco Plato

oh yeah that page I think is my fave visually too

such gorgeous lighting

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yea

RebelVampire

yeah that is a visually beautiful page. i love the addition of the flora in the foreground because i think it really adds a great touch for making an excellent focal point

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I really liked the final part of the confrontation with water baddy. I thought he was really interesting in general and secretly hope he is somehow not actually dead :p

MathTans the Pun Prince

Hiyo. Regards scene, I actually liked the conversation between Cel and Cin as they came back to the village. I thought it was a clever time to cut away, added some character depth, and at one point there was the mention of "why are they choosing a female" and I thought "ohmigod, clever world building now I understand the two husbands thing".

(Of course, that could have been referenced earlier and I'm slow.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

MathTans the Pun Prince

Though the water scenes were very well drawn too.

RebelVampire

@mariah maybe hell come back as a zombie O_O

snuffysam

I think it was referenced earlier, but not as in-depth

Superjustin of Time and Space

Only thing I wished is that the sky started to get darker in the last few pages leading up to Page 56

mariah (rainy day dreams)

@RebelVampire god I hope so!

snuffysam

Yeah, story-wise, I loved the character development between Cel and Cin

Superjustin of Time and Space

sicne on this page it's as bright as it was the past few pages

MathTans the Pun Prince

(I do have a tendency to focus on story, I'm like that.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

but it's something minor

so no harm done

snuffysam

I'm ready for whatever villain the next chapter holds. See if they can top our water wizard

RebelVampire

thats a good point justin. the sky is pretty bright.

Joichi

I'm currently checking out this comic, so just reading people's comments on it

RebelVampire

i do like the scene between cin and cel. i think of all the scenes in the comic is was the most interesting for character cause it did allow for that moment of depth. although i also liked how even tho it was the two of them, we also learned mor about rofaryn

Superjustin of Time and Space

I didn't realise I was already following it on Tap(edited)

lol

Draco Plato

yeah same rebel

camillabluejay

Yeah @RebelVampire that was one of the things I regretted, was too many group scenes and not enough one on one. More character development is easier when it's less characters

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah

Joichi

I agree, character development is easiest with less than a group.

MathTans the Pun Prince

It's an interesting format overall though, the band of travellers encountering new people all the time.

RebelVampire

at least in the largest scope it should work out tho. groups cant be developed in a day. most stories generally have to take turns when they focus on groups

MathTans the Pun Prince

I imagine it's also dangerous to split the party.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol Math

camillabluejay

The next chp they're going to split up haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

YOU JINXED IT

camillabluejay

each group will have a different objective

hahaha

no fun if it's not dangerous

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Your group needs to find the antidote to this love potion..."

Superjustin of Time and Space

Tru

How many lives are you gonna risk?

camillabluejay

Because they accidentally drank it, Math?

haha all of them

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Accidentally", yes, of course.

Draco Plato

as far as group stories go I think it was well done. I like that they were already together vs. having them meet each other and be beginning their friendships

RebelVampire

math look at the havoc youve caused, goodness

Draco Plato

so that we learn about them as the journey goes on but they're not just learning about each other per say

MathTans the Pun Prince

I bring the havoc! It's a skill!

Superjustin of Time and Space

yeah, Draco's got a really good point

camillabluejay

YES Draco. I adore layers of buried history in relationships

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yes, it was good to see them as a group. And with Cin as kind of the outsider character.

RebelVampire

yeah for the group setup i agree that i like the way its portrayed. where most of the others know each but we have newcomer cin who helps us be our learning eyes.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Kind of interesting that Cin's sort of the "white guy" too.

Draco Plato

yeeeees I love relationship layers

Superjustin of Time and Space

How many layers can ye handle?

Draco Plato

I can handle a lot of layers

camillabluejay

hahaha

snuffysam

Especially since that means characters can talk to Cin about their thoughts on the other group members, building more character. Like how Cel was talking to Cin about Rof.

Joichi

ehehe

Superjustin of Time and Space

@snuffysam Seconding this

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder how long they have been together? Was that mentioned?

Superjustin of Time and Space

gotta milk all the chances for character developing you can

snuffysam

If they all already knew each other, that wouldn't work- but since everyone knows each other except Cin, it works well

RebelVampire

oh that'd actually be kind of interesting if cin becomes like group psychologist. everyone just naturally comes and spills their problems on him. and also could lead to some interesting conflicts too. like if everyone goes to cin for problem solving, who does cin go to?

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

That sounds fun

Draco Plato

he goes to rofaryn

snuffysam

What if he has a problem with Rofaryn?

Draco Plato

can still go to him

MathTans the Pun Prince

Probably the smart guy with the blue hair.

I like that he picked up on something being wrong.

RebelVampire

OMG Rofaryn: So what seems to be the problem. Cin: You. You're the problem.

Draco Plato

well he's bonded with celyid so he could go to him

LOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

Rofaryn: I'm also the solution...

Superjustin of Time and Space

Oh you, Math

camillabluejay

I can't tell if I should actually be answering anything, or just enjoying the convo, hahaha. Math is right though, Blue-haired one is usually the one people go to with problems

Superjustin of Time and Space

Sit back and enjoy the show

camillabluejay

hahaha

MathTans the Pun Prince

(I'm bad with names, for the record. They can be very blatant, I'll still end up picking up on art things.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

I feel ya

snuffysam

Fortunately, there is a cast page

RebelVampire

http://kindredsuncomic.com/characters/

snuffysam

http://kindredsuncomic.com/characters/

jinx

Superjustin of Time and Space

dat double post

snuffysam

whoops

RebelVampire

yeah high five

we were both ready

Draco Plato

i almost posted it too

snuffysam

nah ive just had it open the whole time

because i can never remember names

camillabluejay

Oh yeah, you reminded me I need to update that for the second chp too, them drawings are oooooold

MathTans the Pun Prince

Cast what? Yeah, so that silver haired guy, he's good with weapons.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Aw ye new drawings inbound

RebelVampire

me too XD i usually have them open for ctp not necessarily cause forgetting names but wanting to be sure i spell them right

snuffysam

that too lol

almost wrote Raforyn a few minutes ago

MathTans the Pun Prince

So it's useful as a Raforence.

Superjustin of Time and Space

tru

RebelVampire

math no. no.

anyway while were on the subject of the first question still, i wanna say that i like the opening scene to this comic as well. i like that the comic upfront establishes that their fighting skills dont just magically exist out of nowhere

Superjustin of Time and Space

dat's good

snuffysam

And their specialities

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, I thought that was a good way of setting the scene/setting too before getting into the thick of the plot.

Draco Plato

i like the opening scene too

MathTans the Pun Prince

I also can't draw fight scenes, so kudos.

Draco Plato

yeah i was impressed with how it was drawn too

RebelVampire

i also liked that we got to see rofaryn be boss like. estbalish himself as the one true leader

QUESTION 2. Kindred Skies features a varied cast of characters, from the leader Rofaryn to the rambunctious Fayden. Which character did you connect with the most and why? Do you have theories about how they wound up with Rofaryn and/or why they’re a mercenary? Who else in the cast would you like to see this character interact with? Is there anything else you want to mention about them (i.e. they have a cool design, etc.)?

Superjustin of Time and Space

IS THAT ANOTHER QUESTION

On a serious note

snuffysam

love my blue explosive boy

Superjustin of Time and Space

I cannot resist blue haired characters

You put in a bunch of characters with nornal hair colors and then you give someone an anime hair color

Draco Plato

I like Rofaryn best, his design appealed to me most XD I'd like to see him more with Cin

plus the boss is most important

MathTans the Pun Prince

That's a good question! I gotta think more about that one...

camillabluejay

Blue haired boy has a MUCH bigger part in chp 2 :3

Superjustin of Time and Space

OMG

YESSSSS

MathTans the Pun Prince

I feel like maybe I relate to Celyid, just for the whole coming up with a weird plan involving trip wires and things, only to have the whole plan get torpedoed. I'm not as suave as him though.

thezachbales

I am so here for more page time for everyone's favorite blue-haired boy.

snuffysam

I also really like Cin. His fish-out-of-water dealio really works well in the story.

Superjustin of Time and Space

hell yeah \m/

camillabluejay

Zach! Hi! :3

Superjustin of Time and Space

Hi dere Zach~

thezachbales

Oh, hi all!

MathTans the Pun Prince

On the flip side, I find Fayden way too spontaneous, though of course that's part of his personality and he's played well for that.

Superjustin of Time and Space

since we're talknig about characters

Draco Plato

hiiii zach~!

Superjustin of Time and Space

...

eeh I got nothin

MathTans the Pun Prince

I really do kinda wonder what Cel's plan would have looked like if the water hadn't appeared.

Superjustin of Time and Space

was gonna sday maybe the characters could get a bit mor oomph to their designs

but that'd make them hard to draw constantly

camillabluejay

Oh, I'd like clarification on that comment, Justin Do you mean clothes or body?

RebelVampire

idk im kind of fond how they look more normal-ish. i think its a better fit for the tone of the story.(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

well, they seem kinda basic to me

camillabluejay

They are getting new outfits for chp 2 I'm literally in the middle of redesigning. And they're party clothes, so they are fancier...ish?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm all for that!

MathTans the Pun Prince

Suits and bow ties?

snuffysam

Their faces are different enough to distinguish, and they're different heights, so that's enough for me

MathTans the Pun Prince

"It's strangling me!"

camillabluejay

Yeah, usually I just think that they're kinda poor, and travel a lot, so they're not gonna be fancy. But I also don't want them boring

snuffysam

Looking forward to party clothes though

Superjustin of Time and Space

that's a fair reason as to why their outfits are pretty basic

mariah (rainy day dreams)

Yes good, very excited for fancy party clothes

Superjustin of Time and Space

so much fancy

MathTans the Pun Prince

I tend to distinguish characters by hair style and colour, and those are different, so I'm good. ^^ (I can be pretty shallow.)

Superjustin of Time and Space

ye

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder if any of the group is more superstitious than the others. The land seems to have superstitions in it.

RebelVampire

nah thats generally how i first differentiate too, math. i got by hair style and color. its the quickest until i get a better feel for other attributes

none of them felt particularly spooked and were like "this land is cursed."

what we can say for sure

is that fayden is definitely the least superstitious

climbing all over that sacred mountain O_O

Superjustin of Time and Space

dem sacred mountains

Draco Plato

i thought the clothes fit the story and who they were even if they were plain

MathTans the Pun Prince

Heh. He just does his own thing.

Sometimes people have different triggers though. Like, a person can say they're not superstitious until they're faced with a black cat or a 13th floor or something.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

MathTans the Pun Prince

"I can't wear that, bow ties are bad luck."

Superjustin of Time and Space

"bad luck"

RebelVampire

cel feels like the character id peg for being rando superstitious

tho for no reason other than he was like "eh nah just let that chick get sacrificed"

MathTans the Pun Prince

I could see that.

There was a cool analysis there, by the way, now that I'm reminded of it. The idea of there not being a "bad guy", it being a self sacrifice sort of thing. That was an interesting take.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah

Stores without antagonists are intresting if done right

MathTans the Pun Prince

Stories with green haired antagonists with delusions of godhood are also interesting.

What he was going to do to Raf, with the "you'll be on the cusp of drowning" that was, whoa.

Draco Plato

adrei was also an antagonist in a way

RebelVampire

i like that the story teaches us that banishing your problems away isnt always the best solution

snuffysam

It can be a mix, of course. Each town they visit has a tangible antagonist, but the overarching plot doesn't. Or something like that.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Rebel: Good point.

Superjustin of Time and Space

aah

and yeah Snuffy has a pint there

RebelVampire

i found the ending to be bittersweet because they got banished from a town. i kept screaming dick move to myself the whole time.

snuffysam

Cin got to keep the sacrificial outfit though. so you win some, you lose some

MathTans the Pun Prince

I kinda get it though, like, they did mess up the ritual, and then the sacrifice. Probably not wise to spend lots of time there.

RebelVampire

no def not wise. but still a dick move. cause i always imagine how id feel if i risked life and limb for a town and then they were like "eh but you also trespassed on our sacred mountain."

i would not be happy

not happy at all

camillabluejay

Would you say it was a dissatisfying ending, or just an unhappy ending?

snuffysam

just unhappy

Draco Plato

i didn't find it unhappy or dissatisfying

snuffysam

i mean, it wasn't satisfying for the characters

mariah (rainy day dreams)

I guess for me it seemed like kind of a wash. Yeah they got banished, but it wasn't like they were emotionally attached to the town as a whole anyway.

snuffysam

but i was cool with it

Superjustin of Time and Space

yea

Draco Plato

yeah same mariah

MathTans the Pun Prince

I was okay with it too, I mean, I guess I didn't really look at it from the perspective of the sacred mountain thing, more that this was just a stopover on the way that went a bit pear shaped.

I also tend to be somewhat emotionless. ^.^

Superjustin of Time and Space

Lol Math

RebelVampire

still sticking with bittersweet. cause im not saying technical craft wise it was either of those. i think craft wise the ending was exactly what it needed to be. just on personal reader level made me feels emotions.

MathTans the Pun Prince

(It's legit a thing with me. I idolized Spock for a while as a youth.)

snuffysam

yeah people can be dicks in stories. if it was always "here's the key to the city", it wouldn't be as good

RebelVampire

yeah and since its about mercenaries, mercenaries arent expected to get those endings anyway

RebelVampire

but still man, was so sad.

not everyday you fight a wouldbe god

Superjustin of Time and Space

^

RebelVampire

QUESTION 3. The world of Kindred Skies is one where sorcerers are normal, sometimes mercenaries just do farm work for a living, and sacrificing people can be shrugged off. Amongst all this are themes about family, sacrifice for the greater good, and dealing with hardship. Which theme stuck out to you the most and why? Are there any aspects of the world you’d like to see explored further? Likewise, are there any themes you think could be possibly touched on more?

Superjustin of Time and Space

"mercenaries just do farm work for a living"

snuffysam

yeah that was far from the most outlandish thing in the story, lol

Superjustin of Time and Space

Something like this, because I like seing people use powers to do mundance things

Draco Plato

the theme of family stuck with me most, and i'd like to know more about the nature of magic within this world

snuffysam

"people who do things for pay do things for pay"

MathTans the Pun Prince

For aspects of the world, I'm kinda curious about what it takes to learn sorcery. Like, could one of the group pick up some weak skills somehow?

Joichi

I like the theme of deailing with hardship, that often stick out to me the most. Also families

snuffysam

sorcerers are supposedly rare

Superjustin of Time and Space

Families is a must

MathTans the Pun Prince

But yeah, the whole "band of people as a family" thing rings true, particularly with Cin being sort of adopted into it.

snuffysam

Yeah, family is the biggest theme

i mean everyone was kind of adopted into it

but most recently Cin

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ooh, or could one of the group be a sorcerer and not know it? But the skill gets unlocked? I dunno, I just wonder if all sorcerers are feared or freaks or something. Leading to the superstitious undertones.

It'd change the dynamic of the group if so.

camillabluejay

Are these questions for me, or just in general?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm guessing in general

MathTans the Pun Prince

Just general questions, unless you want to jump in with some remarks.

snuffysam

I mean, are you ever planning on expounding on sorcery?

RebelVampire

yes youre free to jump in

even lead us astray

camillabluejay

Eventually, but not for a long while

It is important though, maybe I should look into it

snuffysam

Well then, I can wait

so you don't need to answer that now

camillabluejay

Sorcery is very rare, because it's something that has to be unlocked inside. You can't do it on your own, another sorcerer has to teach you. And it's super illegal and looked down upon

MathTans the Pun Prince

Certainly seems tricky to kill a sorcerer. Or at least that one. I think maybe that's why I'm curious, we basically have a sample of one so far.

Superjustin of Time and Space

oooohhh

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ahh, so it is illegal, okay.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Intresting

camillabluejay

illegal as much as anything is in the desert. it's a little lawless. But they definitely don't like it

snuffysam

i imagine there isn't exactly much of a central government in the wilderness. so what's legal in this town might not be in the next one over

camillabluejay

yup

MathTans the Pun Prince

My other world wonder is the large male population. I wonder if that's just kind of always the way things have been, or if that came about due to something in the past. (Again, don't feel like you need to answer.)

Snuffy - Interesting point.

camillabluejay

Oh yeah that was answered on the patreon. Basically magical curse from their goddess hundreds of years ago

MathTans the Pun Prince

Ohhhh, magic again.

camillabluejay

There's a lot of exposition I don't want to cram into the comic that I'll pepper in here and there, but go into detail on the patreon

Yeah,it's one of the reasons they don't like magic

MathTans the Pun Prince

That makes sense, you don't want to just exposit, particularly if it's stuff the characters already know.

Superjustin of Time and Space

^

camillabluejay

But the next chp goes into themes about the mercenary families and how they work in the world, rather than themes of magic

so it'll be awhile before I'll get back to this in depth

MathTans the Pun Prince

That cool, sounds like it builds well off of Ch 1. There's no rush.

Draco Plato

oooo

Superjustin of Time and Space

Yeah, take as much time as you need

Get all the details you can in there

Joichi

I really like traditional methods where; to gain magic, you learn from a mentor or passed in family. Especially if its something dangerous, which it can be

snuffysam

I mean, looking forward to more themes of family

MathTans the Pun Prince

I'm probably not your main audience anyway, I'm a huge girls love fan.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol

camillabluejay

hahaha @math, I was literally about to say if I could draw faster I have a side-story about two lesbian sorcerers that might clarify some things haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

The story is definitely intresting, though I think it has a lot of potentinal

snuffysam

i will say, i really like the boys love aspects of the comic

Joichi

lol as long as it's more of an inclusive idea than a fanservice attempt.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, it's cool that you decided to continue.

Superjustin of Time and Space

lol fanservice

Joichi

I like boys love in general, I feel there's alot you can write about the relationship and keep it subtle and also as equals.(edited)

snuffysam

usually a lot of bl stuff (especially if it's written by two women) isn't that great at representation

Joichi

as I also write LGBTQ queer stuff in super subtle ways

MathTans the Pun Prince

I saw nothing blatant. There was that funny strip somewhere in the middle, granted, but that wasn't in continuity.

snuffysam

but this is well done

MathTans the Pun Prince

And it was funny.

snuffysam

yeah, besides the joke strip, nothing too fanservicey

MathTans the Pun Prince

As to the themes side of Q3, I'm not so good with recognizing themes. ^.^

Joichi

I'm super picky about romance, I'd rather like to vouch for bros with good chemistry and have different love interests but remain friends.

friendship goals!(edited)

Superjustin of Time and Space

all the friendship in the world~

RebelVampire

i can definitely say im looking forward to more themes of family. i like stories like this that are about impromtu families. i feel so many stories emphasize blood over anything else, so i find it more refreshing to have stories that illustrate heavily on how groups like this can be just as much of a family.

MathTans the Pun Prince

I imagine in a close knit group, you need to be careful about making things too romantic. Because if it goes sour, you're not able to give much space, you're still together.

Joichi

yess yes! I really agree about blood. and also alot of tragic scarred heroes I'm seeing around webcomics

snuffysam

i mean the gang might have tragic/scarred backstories

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm seconding this

snuffysam

we don't really know enough about them to say either way

Joichi

LOL

MathTans the Pun Prince

They might have scars. When their shirts are off.

Superjustin of Time and Space

well then again a lot of characters of mine don't really have tradgic backstories for the most part

or scars

but that's prolly cause i have like 100+ and counting OTL

Joichi

rofl scars building good character xD

actually it just means they didn't have medication and so it dried that way, which could be quite possible considering that your cast travels

Superjustin of Time and Space

I only got like, three characters with scars right now

Draco Plato

we know at least something happened with Cin's brother

snuffysam

depends what kind of medicine H'ran does, i suppose. maybe he's able to close up wounds without scarring

Superjustin of Time and Space

either that or the scars leave a really badass mark

Joichi

I'm still reading the comic btw, so I'm not entirely able to ask questions in case, it may sound dumb

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, that's an ongoing mystery, his brother.

RebelVampire

speaking of medicine i really want to know about h'rannith

Joichi

anyone's a trained doctor in the group?

snuffysam

yeah, H'rannith is

MathTans the Pun Prince

Joi - Don't worry about it. It's good to get perspectives partway, I haven't always read to the end before doing CTP.

snuffysam

i mean, i don't know if he went to med school

but he's the team healer regardless

MathTans the Pun Prince

He hasn't needed to do doctoring yet though.

Joichi

@Superjustin of Time and Space very true about badass marks.

snuffysam

yup, which is why i wasn't sure if his medicines left scars or not

camillabluejay

Yeah, H'ran got the short end of the stick this chp, I'll admit it. He gets more in the 2nd chp

RebelVampire

thats awesome

Joichi

ooh, that is true. like sometimes there is in-house stitching he'd have to do on the fly. Sorry I'm excited about doctor characters.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Well doctor characters are fun

RebelVampire

cause i def felt he had the least screentime in chp one. and i was like "who are you mysterious man"

MathTans the Pun Prince

"Drop your pants." "I got hit in the shoulder..." "Who's the doctor here??"

Superjustin of Time and Space

what about docs with scars

snuffysam

"He gets more in the 2nd chp" for a healer? that's not good news...

camillabluejay

lololol

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe they come across a town suffering from a plague.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Ooooooh

Joichi

i just imagine alot of wounded people having to come to him, as the healer. oh damn...

Superjustin of Time and Space

and there being no other healers around?

MathTans the Pun Prince

The healers are the first ones you kill with a plague. Everyone knows that.

snuffysam

if you think about it, H'ran should be covered in scars. or at least on his right hand, back, and face

since he can't stitch those up and there's no other healer

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe he gives really good instructions.

snuffysam

fair enough

camillabluejay

He does have scars on his hands! I just haven't done close ups of them yet :3

MathTans the Pun Prince

(For some reason I'm reminded of "Spock's Brain" where Spock's giving McCoy advice on brain surgery...)

Superjustin of Time and Space

Oooohhh!!

RebelVampire

oh thats interesting to know he does have scars on his hands. nice detail touch

snuffysam

well there you go then

manny melancholy

have you decided where the scars will be or how they will look like? It sounds like it will be tricky

snuffysam

called it

MathTans the Pun Prince

Good call.

Superjustin of Time and Space

yeah

camillabluejay

And tbf, if H'rannith gets hurt, Khehaic has a steady hand, he'd probably step in

Superjustin of Time and Space

Aw yeah~

camillabluejay

and @manny, yeah we know where the scars are, most are just under clothes. Drawing them everytime would be a pain

MathTans the Pun Prince

"It's fine, I got these explosives here..."

RebelVampire

makes sense tho. Khehaic seems pretty capable in general. like of the group hes the one i feel would be safest entrusting important things to.

Superjustin of Time and Space

Agreed @camillabluejay

snuffysam

@MathTans the Pun Prince that's one way to amputate a limb, i guess

camillabluejay

@math gotta cauterize the wounds first, dontcha know

Joichi

haha I love this scar talk, makes me think about character scars

MathTans the Pun Prince

incites Havoc again

camillabluejay

And yes, Margot and I joke the whole team would fall apart without Khe haha

Superjustin of Time and Space

Well scars are fun

just throwing another character of mine here with a scarf

it's supposed to be shaped like a shark tooth

(on his left cheek)

Joichi

ohh i see it

camillabluejay

Aw, him and Ro are scar buds

Margot

work slowed down, so now I can hop in for a few minutes! and yes, Khehaic is the glue-iest

Superjustin of Time and Space

Hello~

all the scar buds in the world

Joichi

Hi there

Margot

hey there! great to see so many familiar names

Superjustin of Time and Space

likewise!

RebelVampire

@Superjustin of Time and Space I'm glad you're passionate about your characters but please try to keep sharing to a minimum since we're tlaking about a diff comic. ^^;

QUESTION 4. In the background of the first chapter is a hidden conflict about Cin looking for his brother, Seti. Though the tension this causes between Rofaryn and Cin is addressed within the first chapter, numerous questions about Seti are left. Do you have any theories about why Seti is missing? Do you think the group will be able to find Seti or will they just find trouble? Is it possible Cin or someone else is hiding a secret about Seti? Is there a larger conflict going on than we realize?

snuffysam

we haven't had any outlandish theories yet

Seti was abducted by aliens

he's named after SETI, which is the clue

camillabluejay

lolol

Superjustin of Time and Space

is it even possible to have theroies about webcomics/

MathTans the Pun Prince

Have you met me?

Superjustin of Time and Space

If that aliens thing becomes true I'll be impressed

Oh you

Draco Plato

lol of course you can have theories about webcomics XD

snuffysam

all seriousness, i'm guessing he was kidnapped by wilderness bandits or something?

MathTans the Pun Prince

Cin's last name is Alpha. They're actually looking for Alpha Seti, it's in a whole other galaxy. Hence the aliens late in Chapter 2.

Draco Plato

LOL

well could be

RebelVampire

maybe or maybe seti just ran off. got married. was like man this is great. no bro no weirdo mercenaries.

snuffysam

got married and didn't tell his brother?

Superjustin of Time and Space

I'm prolly gonna focus on main chat for now, see ya all around!

manny melancholy

if they are looking for Seti then does that mean he might be kidnapped? maybe he went somewhere and just never came back for what ever reason we need answers @Margot

MathTans the Pun Prince

In all seriousness though, I wonder if maybe Seti ran off to protect the others. Like, he made a bad deal or something, and went into hiding to protect them, and when they find him he'll be all worried.

Others of his family that is.

camillabluejay

hahaha @many, we're not supposed to be answering

Joichi

@Superjustin of Time and Space alright see you in main chat

camillabluejay

it's our seekrit

thezachbales

Is there a butler wherever they're going where they'll be wearing party clothes? If so, I HAVE A HUNCH of who made him disappear.

Margot

hahaha oh no @manny realized i'm the weak link in the secrecy chain

Superjustin of Time and Space

cya Joi

RebelVampire

see ya justin thanks for coming~!

Margot

bye Justin!

camillabluejay

bye Justin! thanks for chatting

Margot

thanks for reading and chatting :3

camillabluejay

@Zach, I could ADD a butler, just for you

Joichi

Since i'm not far in the comic, I'll be back later.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Like, what reason would anyone have to sort of run off? I guess it could be kidnapping, but you'd think there'd be more people missing than just Seti then.

snuffysam

I mean, if he was alone when he got kidnapped, it's not so weird

Superjustin of Time and Space

np Rebel, Margot, and Camilla~

thanks for having me stick around~

snuffysam

maybe Seti and Cin had a falling-out that Cin isn't telling the gang about

MathTans the Pun Prince

That could be, hmmm.

RebelVampire

or maybe cin doesnt know either

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe they're not really brothers?

RebelVampire

cause sometimes you can make ppl angry and not realize if said person never says anything

MathTans the Pun Prince

As to finding Seti, I feel like that'll only happen once Cin is really vibing with the group, or maybe one of them in particular. Which creates the question of whether he'd stay with them or not. Or maybe Seti would join the group, but mess up the dynamic? I wonder.

camillabluejay

>:)

RebelVampire

oh thatd be interesting and not something id expect. cause my expectations are that seti is like last conflict. but if they find seti soon and then it mucks up the dynamic, that definitely yields interesting possibilities

especially if cin is with them for a while

snuffysam

Finding Seti will create drama regardless of what specifically happens. it's a bit of a lose-lose situation

RebelVampire

cause then you can have arguments between rofaryn and seti about who knows cin better

snuffysam

Cin leaves the group? drama. Cin decides to stay with the group and leave Seti? drama. Seti joins the group? drama.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Maybe Seti's a sorcerer now, and they're all "we're not having no sorcerer in our group!". But he's trying to be a good sorcerer.

Cin gets Seti's blessing to marry Cel? Drama.

RebelVampire

or seti goes all darth vader and is like cin, come to the dark side. look at my cool magic.

MathTans the Pun Prince

"You're not my father!" "No, I'm your brother." "Oh yeah."

Maybe they find someone who's pretending to be Seti. Like, how much time has passed since Cin's seen him? Would he still be recognizable?

snuffysam

or maybe Seti will be in disguise at some point? like, he's trying to start a new life as a masked vigilante and/or villain

MathTans the Pun Prince

Beards can really change one's appearance.

It does feel like one of the main arcing ideas of the comic though. If they do find Seti, there would need to be a new big arcing plot, in my mind.

snuffysam

that's what the drama is for(edited)

MathTans the Pun Prince

But like, Seti would have some new quest for them. Or something. Maybe.

I dunno.

RebelVampire

that is a good point that maybe cin might not recognize him if enough time passes.

idk why but the idea of "Seti's quest" made me laugh

a weird word combo for me

MathTans the Pun Prince

bows

camillabluejay

Yeah, one of the frustrating parts of webcomics for me, is I really want to write it like a tv show. So we're technically starting ep 2 of season 1. And Seti would be the first season arc. But I can't draw that fast, so we'll see. haha

MathTans the Pun Prince

I know that feeling. No one can draw at the speed of thought. ^^

camillabluejay

Yeah XD If I had all the monies, it would be an animated show, OR I would hire a different artist for every 'episode'

RebelVampire

yeah speed of webcomics can be a real downer for sure. D:

MathTans the Pun Prince

I wonder about the hobbies of mercenaries now. If any of them's into art, or if it's mostly about survival.

RebelVampire

but gotta keep trucking and the comic is doing a good job so far~!

camillabluejay

yeah this whole first chp shoulda been like one 20 min episode haha

instead of a year's comic pages

MathTans the Pun Prince

They find Seti, and he wants to draw a comic of their adventures. Very meta.

RebelVampire

thatd be cute. to see them stop by the side of the road for some rest and someone is like "cin what are you doing?" and cin jsut stares and is like "painting"

camillabluejay

Oh, I don't seeharm in answering that! Khehaic does metal work, makes weird jewelry. Ro whittles

They also all play music and dance together, or play cards

MathTans the Pun Prince

Oh, neat! Hadn't thought of whittling. Can make tools that way.

Margot

fayden likes cooking

MathTans the Pun Prince

pictures Rofaryn with a banjo

RebelVampire

i wanna see some of this weird jewelry because that sounds awesome

MathTans the Pun Prince

Just had another quick look at the site. I notice mention of drugrunners. Maybe that's another place where a medic would be useful.

Margot

....If Ro were in modern day, he'd play some mean guitar, just sayin''

thezachbales

I'm going to need a whole arc about Fayden cooking.

camillabluejay

lolol

RebelVampire

its gonna be the filler ep where fayden has a cooking show to see if its a worthwhile spin off franchise

MathTans the Pun Prince

Gotta get the spices just right.

"Irony Chef"

Margot

there's a fayden & h'rannith cooking themed story in the works for patreon, actually haha

thezachbales

BLESSED

camillabluejay

Bc H'ran is terrible at cooking. Just....terrible.

RebelVampire

AHA. learned something about h'ran. terrible at cooking.

MathTans the Pun Prince

You definitely know your characters! All the best with your continued efforts.

camillabluejay

yeah, there's just a lot of them, and trying to make them all shine the best we can is our goal

since it's wrapping up soon, do you guys have any advice for us?

Now that we're starting up chp 2

any mistakes you see us continually make, or things we could do better

MathTans the Pun Prince

scratches head Keep at it? I dunno, I'm not great with advice.

camillabluejay

ch 2 will be the next year of our lives, might as well be the best it could be

Margot

can i just say, as an ending note... i don't know who made the 'ro-ference pun'... you're the worst... and i love you

camillabluejay

lololol

MathTans the Pun Prince

I didn't see any major mistakes, but I'm not always observant.

RebelVampire

id say just more time with two on two or small group. because admittedly i found it to be somewhat hard to get to know all the characters. which isnt surprising either cause group size

camillabluejay

@Margot did you see they want the Y'linstra/Tori lesbian sorcerer side-story? We better get on it.

MathTans the Pun Prince

Yeah, and the cutaway at a cliffhangery time worked well I thought. Good pacing.

camillabluejay

Yeah, we realized that too, @RebelVampire

even just drawing them on every page was rough

Margot

dropping chapter 2 immediately, @camillabluejay sorcerer lesbians is go

camillabluejay

thank you guys!

No, BOTH

Margot

you're all the best!! my heart is melty

camillabluejay

The Cow Jumped over the Moon

(so Remember the Mib AU, DInner and i have been talking about it daily for over... two months now. And we *might have gotten side tracked and done another AU and then a Story trade and this is THEIR FAULT I SWEAR)

(the * ~~ and such are from discord formating, if you copy and past into it, the italic and strikethros are that.  i wrote this in a doc and pasted it over and that is why i left them in) Fae AU Totally a Ritsu/Shou fic 2288 words

Might be a little short on context out of the chat, because this is from the third (magic number) day, so feel free to ask me or @psychicdinneranon​

The sun has set a few hours back, but Ritsu hadn’t bothered to change into this pajamas yet, and most likely wouldn’t for a few more hours.  Not when the moon rose in sync with the setting sun and he could feel the power prickling under his skin at the touch of moonlight.  Plus he knew that any minute now Shou would be appearing in his window and this time *he’s bringing shoes.*  

In almost no time at all there was a tapping at his window and Ritsu gave the figure silhouetted by the full moon a pointed look and turned and headed downstairs to the front door. It was only after he closed the door behind him that Shou dropped from his perch gracefully as a cat to greet him.

“You know what a door is Shou. Why do you always wait up there, you know i’m *not* going to climb out a second story window with you right?” Shou gave a pout before grinning as he always did. “Aww you take all the fun out it, dont you know I’m supposed to lead you out the window like Peter Pan?  I’d catch you if you slipped” “You got a thing you want to show me?” “*Always*~”

Time always moves funny when the sun is down.  Ten minutes pass in one and one minute is an hour.  Even though the clouds the weather man said would obscure the stars and night finally arrived Ritsu could still feel the ghost of it lingering. In a blink of eternity Shou lead Ritsu through the trees of Nightshade Orchard farther and farther away from the paths people could safely walk till they reached the clearing Shou had showed him last time.  Flowers that looked like miniature lilies that shimmered in the moonlight of every shade of white swayed gently as they passed in a breeze that didn’t exist.  SIiver fireflys glowed and swam through the air slowly sifting colours.  ~~Ritsu knew better than to try to catch them now, they burn at the touch, stars dont like being caged~~ The glade was ever frozen outside of time and unchanging.    It was just a still as it was last time.  Shou was everything but.  He bounded through the field displacing lights that chattered like wind like a deer, tail straight and held high as his bare feet came close to stepping on ~~someone~~ a plant here and there only for his foot to land in a bare patch instead. “Hold on a sec Ritsu i got to find it again”

Ritsu watched in amusement as Shou circled the clearing by zig zagging across it as he peered between bushes and at rabbit trails only turn and dart off again with a shake of his tail.  Carefully Ritsu made his way towards the middle of the meadow ~~never in the center~~ stepping around flowers and tall patches and grass and rocks that would turn and look at him before wandering off slowly, as rocks tend to do.  Shou was backing out of a bush whose thorns seemed reluctant to let him out of its embrace.   “Ritsu! *This way.*” and with a glance back to check if Ritsu was still following and a merry shake of his tail Shou disappeared between the brier bushes.  Ritsu shimmed through the branches as the thorns slid harmlessly across his jacket for several steps until snaring him up and forcing him to stop and untangle himself from them in a way that was reminiscent of the way Shou would cling at times.  Shou suddenly popped up in front of him with an affectionate chuckle as he pinched at the leaves and helped him pull of a few branches before turning and getting swallowed up by the forest once more. Ritsu followed the rustling of leaves, the quivering of a russet tail and the flash of Shou’s feet and jacket when the moon peeked out between the clouds and trees.  As he pushed aside one last branch Ritsu blinked at the sudden appearance of a perfectly round pool next to where Shou was bouncing on his toes and crouching by the waters’ edge. “See Ritsu! Isn’t it *cool*. Come on.” That was not a question, it was a statement.  The moon shone perfectly reflected in the center of the pond.. The water was completely still.  There were no clouds reflected in the water.

Ritsu refused to look up and check because he *knew* it wasn’t midnight yet and the moon shouldn’t be in that spot.

“Shou I can feel the magic from *here* I’m not getting any closer.” and that was true.  The air was so thick and heavy with it he could barely breathe. ~~and that wasn’t, it was pure and crisp and calm and his head never felt this clear and it sang against his skin and-~~ “Come on it’s safe” Ritsu didn’t even need any of his fae magic to hear those words fall flat in the air as soon as Shou said them. “...she only owns the water and the shore really i swear” “then why are you standing on it if it’s not safe?” “To talk to her *duh*.   With a sigh Risu glanced at the moon in the water and made his way out of the leaves and stopped where the grass lead into rocks. “Shou what did you do?” “Nothing i just asked her to jump over the moon for a trick and she said to bring a friend. Say hi Ritsu” Ritsu blinked at that, before looking between Shou, the moon, the water that Shou was pointing to, and the silver koi under the surface completely still except for her fins gracefully treading water.   “You said to bring a friend and i did” The fish simply stared back. Shou pouted at the fish before turning to back to Ritsu. “She says she wont do it and the cost for both of us is two” “Hmm, you said that she told you to bring a friend right? Anything else?” “*No* and she’s asking for two now!” Ritsu grabbed Shou’s sleeve and tugged him back so he wasn’t leaning over the water as Shou’s checks rose and made his scales shimmer on his face while he bared his fangs in frustration. “Ask her if the moon is still full enough for tomorrow.” Shou’s face softened as he turned back to the fish in the water. “She says she’ll be here tomorrow so long as we bring the payment. *But i did-”* “Tell I’ll bring two.”

```-``` Ritsu carefully zipped up his backpack and checked to see if the contents would shift if he would put it on and set it on his back as he waited for Shou to finally appear.  It didn’t take long.  Shou’s face popped up in the window long enough to make eye contact before dropping back down. He was already waiting by the door when Ritsu opened it and Shou leaped off the steps as he closed it behind him.  Shou eyed the bag in obvious curiosity. “So what’s in the b-” “It’s not for you and if you couldn’t guess then i dont think i should tell you, she might not accept.  I know you guys get pissy about each other touching their things” Shou grumbled and headbutted him in the shoulder, careful to not to catch him with his horns nubs and practically dragged him towards the woods.  Ritsu could feel the space shifting behind him as he followed in Shou’s footsteps.  Shou parting the plants and leaves only for them to close up behind Ritsu as they went. Every step felt like a mile and suddenly they were at the pond again.   It looked exactly the same as the night before, only the moon’s edges would shimmer a bit in a breeze that ghosted over the water. Ritsu shrugged the backpack off and knelt down by the water and ignored the way Shou was nearly sitting on his back and trying to peer over his sholders into the bag as he unzipped it.  He slid out a five gallon bag half filled with water and air where two small koi swam lazily.  Holding the bottom so the rocks wouldn’t cut it, they looked smooth but he didn’t want to risk it, Ritsu presented to bag to the silver koi that sat right at the shallows.   “This is So” he pointed to the larger one, a patchwork of gold orange and yellow with a few streaks of white. “and This is Mo” then smaller white one with a collection of black patches. The silver koi nosed at the surface, the ripples did not disturb the center of the pool. Ritsu carefully set the bag in the water and made sure not to touch it.  He had no intention of getting wet and nor causing offense. She nosed at the plastic bag and the two inside nosed back.

“Arnt you gonna open it? She says it’s a fitting gift” “You have to wait until the water acclimates Shou, last thing i want is for them to go into shock” “Oh” “Niisan helped me name them, but they are still fish Shou” It wasn’t a long wait, the silver koi swam circles around the bag as it floated in the shallows.  Shou shifted antsully and would flick his tail each time he moved before settling half draped across Ritsu, tail wagging against the side of his leg pocket.  Ritsu untied the bag and paused. “Oh um, there’s probably some chemicals in here, for infections and oil for scales, tap water has things in it that the store treats. Is that ok?”

The Fish stared at him. Ritsu started to tip the bag out and grabbed the bottom corners to flip it over so the koi could swim out and touched the water as he did so. The sound of Shou’s sudden snarl by his ear startled him and Ritsu found himself holding an empty and dry bag as the fish swam out of sight.  Ritsu started to open his mouth and ask Shou what that was about, but the sound of blooping made him stare at the water.  It was the first sound he’s ever heard the pond make. There was a ripple out in the water and the silver koi broke through the surface in a glitter of water drops and smacking down with the loudest slap in the center of the moon as Shou cheered and whooped.  Then the gold koi flashed over the reflection ~~it did not change as he did, only shone brighter~~ and landing with a arcing spray.  Finally the little black and white one leaped into the air with a twist and flip and dove into the water with barely a drop displaced. Shou laughed and nudged Ritsu pointing over the water. Gasping for air on each breath “Ritsu, RITSU RITSU. *the cow jumped over the moon*. It’s, heh  *it’s true*” Risu wasn’t watching the water anymore.  He was watching the way the freckles on Shou’s face glittered as he laughed and the way the scales tossed the moonlight around.  Ritsu curled his fingers into the fur hair on the back of Shou’s neck and got to see them close up and out of focus like sunspots as he pulled Shou in closer and Shou’s laughter became a purr against his lips. Then Ritsu tilted his head to press in closer and caught his lip against one of Shou’s fangs and pulled back for air.  Shou was staring back at him hazily with fur disheveled and he licked at the bead of blood Ritsu had left against his mouth before suddenly focusing on Ritsu’s face and jolting back with a sudden hitch in his breath and eyes widening in horror. “SHit, I didn’t,” another lick, “i *didn’t mean to do that*” Ritsu almost managed to ask what he meant when Shou wiggled off his lap and slipped out of his hands And ..and he was staring at the ceiling of his bedroom.  There was an interesting water mark in the corner by the window that almost looked like a rabbit leaping in the air.  Shou said it looked more like it was laying on it’s side and that he should know.  Ritsu could still feel the echo of Shou’s energy that said he wasn’t too far away and hadn’t made it back to the woods yet, so Ritsu gathered his energy and *pulled* “Shou” The distant feeling of ‘Shou’ flinched, surprisingly closer to the woods than Ritsu had immediately thought and braced itself. Ritsu was struck by the image of a dog planting all four legs and pulling against a leash, and took a breath to pull harder with annoyance and confusion and *still determined*, but no anger. “*Shou*” This time it pulled back, guilt and longing and sorry, *sorrysorrysorry* and a hint of slinking back in trepidation for a visit at a later time. And ~~questioning and.. Happy? *giddy*? ~~

Ritsu let him go with a sigh, the clock on his stand flipped over to 12:01. He rubbed at his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment debating chasing Shou down before pulling the blankets over him. He was exhausted and well, Shou would come back and Ritsu  would just have to make a point to pin him down until he got some answers.  Between him and Teruki they should be able to trap a greater fae. Even if he would have to trade a few tricks and things his brother liked.  Hmm, that one spot by the creek were the sunlight danced they found as kids might work, if not.. Then.. maybe.. That one icecream place... that Shigeo liked...

The little Dog laughed to see such a sight, 

 And the Dish ran away with the Spoon.
