You're On Your Own, Kid | Sonam

Date: 27 October 2023 Featuring: Sonam, Mrs. Tiwari, Mr. Tiwari Warnings: References to death, grief, and mental health struggles.

Sonam left the Friday before Halloween, after a week at the Inn. She’d thought about extending her stay, because she did really want to— every moment with Tanya felt like sand slipping through her fingers— but the staff around the Inn had mentioned that the holiday weekend was a busy one. She knew to take a hint, whether or not one was being dropped on purpose.

Anyway, it was time to get back to her own life. She had classes to teach, after all, students to mentor and a department chair to report to. Her editor was in touch again, asking about that manuscript Sonam had promised ages ago. 

And, of course, there was Sunday roast with her parents.

Sonam didn’t go every week. But her parents “wanted to hear about her work trip” and they would need help with cleaning for Diwali and Sonam didn’t have an excuse not to, and yes, she had told them that she was attending a lecture at a university in the west country. She’d lied to them. Everyone remembered Sonam’s absolute conviction last year that Tanya still roamed the country as a ghost, but they remembered it as a likely recurrence of her well-documented mental health issues and nothing more.

Now that Sonam had proof Tanya was, indeed, still a ghost, though… she wasn’t sure she actually should tell anyone. It was all too real. And she’d seen the way her sister had disappeared after being sought out without warning, and she’d asked Sonam not to tell their parents, and for once… Sonam thought that maybe her little sister was right. At least for now.

After all, if she did decide to move on… well, their parents were under the impression that her soul was at peace. Was it really worth it to introduce them to that kind of grief?

Sonam had reasoned through all of this on the drive back to Leeds, but as soon as she stepped into her parents’ house, she felt like a teenager with a secret all over again. “Sonam!” Her mother descended on her, throwing her arms around her. Her father trailed behind, smiling. Guilt burbled in Sonam’s stomach. Once, keeping secrets from them felt as easy as breathing. But something changed. She wasn’t nineteen anymore, keeping her little sister’s exploits from their overreacting parents. Even if Tanya was still a kid— and would be, forever.

“Sonam, what’s wrong?” Of course, Sonam should have known that her mother could tell the tiniest difference in her expression, was well-practiced at interpreting her many moods. 

Sonam put on a smile. “Just a little tired,” she said, clocking her father’s concerned expression as she gave him a hug too. “Let me just freshen up and then I’ll be ready to help with the cleaning, alright? It was a long drive.”

Her parents exchanged a look. “Yes, good idea. We’re almost done for the day, really, though. You should just rest.”

“It’s really no trouble, I-”

“Sonam. Rest,” her father said kindly, but firmly.

Lying on the floor of her room (which felt somehow both kinder and unkinder on her forty-five-year-old bones than it had when she was a teenager) Sonam could hear the hushed tones of her parents debating her state of mind downstairs. It was strange how things stayed the same. Tanya had died twenty-five years ago. Life moved on. The world changed. And yet her fate wasn’t spoken of. And yet Sonam was still fragile and breakable. And yet the carpet still smelled like that deep-cleaner that came out every year for Diwali. 

Why was she still lying here? What did she expect to hear that she didn’t already know? Because another thing hadn’t changed. Twenty-five years had passed, and Sonam still missed her sister. Even though she'd seen her again. Twenty-five years had passed, and Sonam still felt alone.

秋–くん🔥

It was late at night. Everything was spinning. You couldn't feel nothing, but despair, angst, sadness. Actually, did you feel anything? Was there anything in your heart right now? You couldn't cry, you couldn't feel anything. You were doped of medications, such as antidepressants, to not have these stupid thoughts, but whatever they were trying to do, they weren't working. Maybe if you went to a psychiatrist they would double your dose, wouldn't they? You thought of this. But... what if you don't need to spend more money on these? What if... you disappeared. Just. Did it. Why feel more pain? Why make your friends suffer while you're alive? It will be quick... Of course, everyone would be sad with your absence, but it would be less than a life-time, such as you bothering all of them daily... it will be less painful for both sides, won't it?

With this thought, your wrists dripping a red tone liquid, you look down your feet. You're on the 12th floor of a building, you look down with fear, cars and vehicles are passing in the road, but it won't stop you. You're shaking...

Then, the only thing you see is darkness. You close your eyes and you're ready to give a step forward, putting one foot on the air. You flinch when you hear a voice coming from behind you, a despaired and panting voice.

"What the actual fuck are you doing?!" – A familiar voice screams, a ginger figure appears in the rooftop, making you fall behind and gasp. The person was holding a messy piece of paper, the sight is familiar, your suicide letter.

"Are you crazy?! You know you could have died there!!!" – Akito speaks in despair and anger. He looks at you with a painful and worried expression, with a bit of rage. He sits in front of you, taking both of your hands in his.

"I... I just didn't want to... bother you anymore. All of you. I'm sorry" You speak in pain, you break down in tears. Akito, as he sees you in that state, frowns more, but his rage disappears. The only thing he does is wrapping his arms around you, as tight as he can, as if you were about to vanish (well somewhat you were (IM SORRY)

He's not really good at words, so he demonstrates his affection that way. But... maybe today he'll open an exception...

"Dang it... never do that anymore... never again. I don't want to lose you, please... I love you way too much for that to happen."

Akito speaks in the most caring tone he could. You have never seen him this affectionate, around anyone. Never ever. You can hear muffled and quiet whines coming from Akito while you hug him.

"If... if it will make you that way, I won't try it again..."

In the end, Akito didn't leave you for the whole night, focing you to accept him at your place... he can't handle you wanting to do this.

冬弥♥︎ (俺の彼氏) ❄️

You couldn't handle it. Everything was so tough. Everything. You couldn't breathe, it was hard. How are you going to do it with so much pressure? So much stress? You feel unlovable, you feel empty. Who would care if you died? I mean... they would cry for a while, but... later they would forget you. They always do, don't they? Your friends, family, people you care for... they all have a first place, and it was not you. You're just alive to bother, you're just letting people down, your presence was a nuisance, everyone only invited you to go out out of pure obligation. They didn't care at all. So, why would you keep being a weight to them? A pain on the ass? You feel so stupid, so helpless, so miserable. Everything is going wrong to you in your life, you see no future... so, why move forward to suffer more when you could just end it all? The pain would go away, your friends and known people would be happy after a while in the end... it would be less weight to you and to everyone else.

You keep thinking and thinking, all of this. Everything. Everything was so awful. You look at the train rail, waiting for it to come. You see a soft light at the end of the tunnel, it was arriving... you position yourself in the rail, close your eyes and wait. It will be quick, you thought to yourself.

It was arriving... it was closer and closer... your heart was beating fast out of fear and anxiety, but you knew it's going to be ok. Everything... Everything...

Seconds before the train passed in the rail where you were sitting, you felt a strong grip on your wrist, pulling you out of the rails. You could feel the drift from the train passing behind you. You open your eyes, to find a sight of a split-haired boy, looking at you with tears in his eyes, panting.

"W-what were you trying to do..." he speaks with his voice shaking and stuttering. The known sight of Toya, but different... you have never seen him this sad, this despaired, this scared... His eyes were watery, and his cheeks were also wet. He grips onto you and hugs you as tight as he can. You can feel his body shaking. Tears start to form in your eyes when you realise what's going on around you... Toya... what you tried to do... everything... he was holding your suicide letter tightly.

"What... what did you mean by... 'I won't be a bother anymore. It will be one less weight to your life'... What... what made you think that? You were never a weight, never. Did I do something for you to think that way?" – Toya speaks pulling away slightly from the hug, tears roll down his cheeks, he holds both of your hands tightly.

You shake your head, you speak quietly and painfully "I couldn't handle life anymore... I'm sorry... you haven't done anything wrong. It's just me... I think the meds weren't making effect, or my depression just got worse-"

Toya puts a finger in your mouth, he looks at you with empathy and pure care

"You don't have to apologise or explain yourself... just, promise you won't try this again... or this..." – Toya speaks, he takes your wrist in his hand, showing your scars, some of them fresh and some of them old.

"I care about you deeply... I don't want to lose you. I don't... I love you way too much to let you go"

He holds both of your hands tightly, as if you were to vanish within seconds. He wraps his arms around your waist and strokes your backs back and forth, a soothing and gentle motion.

"If... if that's the case... I'll try my best to also show you how much I care about you"

Toya, after that, will try his best to take smiles from you. Whatever if it's giving you gifts, hugging you, using words of affirmation, or making silly jokes, he will try his best. He also bakes a lot for you, your favourite things (and they're really, really good. Toya always think so much about you, he does his best to bake the best desserts and cook the best food for you ♥︎)

Later on that night, Toya brought you to your place and you two stayed in, playing games or doing anything that would make you happy and enjoy yourself. He will ask you if you two can cuddle, he would always ask if he could touch you in any situation~

Always remember... Akito and Toya will always be there to love you and care about you <3

They would never let something like this happen to you, you're too precious to them

Always have this in mind <3 stay safe

A/N: HELP ME I'm sorry if this got a bit too... uhhh... personal... cuz like I started adding some reasons to the reader's attempt of suicide, I had to think of smt and i ended up putting some of my feelings 😭 i hope u like it, stay safe guys <3 ty for sending me reqs and for the last 121 notes :P

Who wants to see how normal I am, AKA,

EVERY SCOTT AND JOEL MOMENT I CAN REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD IN SEASONS 1-4 (still gotta rewatch SL to get a refresher):

- Joel laments about not having dark oak and having to pay Scar for “future dark oak if they find it” even tho he’s SURE they DO have it, then Scott says that there’s dark oak by his house that Joel can have, and along with Jimmy and Martyn they organize a magic show to take down Scar and Grian’s monopoly.

- Joel burns down Scott’s wall 😁🔥 just to make something else burn like he did

- Scott makes fun of how poorly done the burning of the wall was multiple times before finding out who did it

- Joel also lies about doing it

- Joel also tries to murder Scott with a failed anvil trap at his door 💀

- Scott makes fun of how poorly made this trap was as well. Joel also burns the wall again as he runs away

- btw this isn’t in a super chronological order I sometimes remember things later. Like how technically it was Jimmy who started the “Joeleo oh Joeleo, wherefore art thou Joeleo” thing but Scott DID join in on it so

- also COW HEIST 🥳😅 gone wrong. Joel and Martyn try to steal Flower Husbands’ cows. Make a (very bad) deal with Jimmy to get cows. Try to steal again when Scott’s telling Jimmy not to give away cows. Finally make an ACTUAL deal. Make fun of Joel and Martyn having a tough time getting the cows up the cliff.

- Ren: “we have banners all over the server, if you joined us we could easily pinch the middle” Scott: “so Joel? 🤩” Martyn: “BTW Joel’s already with us” Scott: “so we can’t pinch Joel, dang it 😔😒”

- Scott (and Jimmy) threatening to kill Joel’s dogs 💀😁

- Scott making fun of the red army for Joel betraying them

- Scott being willing to forgive Joel for the burning of the wall if he can do them a favor sometime (to which Joel immediately offers 13 cobblestone)

- Scott making a little secret storage area for potions for everyone in the desert faction MINUS Joel because he doesn’t trust him

- OH ALSO Scott mostly just being upset at Joel for LYING about burning his wall

- Scott burning down the wool castle and saying “maybe I do understand why Joel burned my wall. This is very freeing.”

- The fire spreading to Geraldine who was unfortunately left behind, Scott ALMOST saves her before deciding that Joel deserves it

- Scott stopping by Joel’s house and Joel shows up. They talk and decide that they’re allies and won’t come after each other

- Joel gives Scott a house tour

- He also shows Scott his dogs where Scott confesses to burning the castle and causing Geraldine’s death. Joel is sad but says it’s okay

- Also they mention that Jimmy died and Joel goes “I’m glad he died JUST KIDDING we love you Jimmy 🥺😔😭”. I don’t know what to say about this.

- Oh also at some point Joel says (about the roof above his bed being missing) that he likes to look at the stars as he sleeps. This one is a huge stretch and goes into fanon territory with Scott being connected with the stars but it’s a fun fact nonetheless.

- also love the energy of Joel excitedly showing off his dogs to Scott and Scott being like “that’s cool *chuckles nervously*”

- When they’re doing war strategies Scott would often pair himself with Joel. Just sayin.

- Scott, Scar, and Grian are on that stupid platform above Dogwarts. Joel is below them inside Dogwarts with all his dogs. Grian suggests dropping some TNT down onto him to essentially deal with the problem before it becomes their problem (they’re all terrified of Joel and kind of want him to die despite being on their side so that they don’t have to face him when they win the war). Scott gasps at this and seems to want to argue but the logic is sound and he also wants revenge on Joel, so he just covers his eyes but like this 🫣 and says “I can’t watch”. Ultimately they don’t do it.

- Scott and Joel both really want to kill BigB (the last green) and they go together and kill him 🥰

- Once again Scott pairs himself with Joel to attack Ren and Martyn. Bdubs and Impulse volunteer to tag along but end up retreating before being killed like the others.

- Scott is upset that Joel died but also refers to his death as a “slight ‘woo’!” because of the revenge and previously mentioned fear of having to fight him when they’re no longer on the same side

- Scott takes some of Joel’s stuff and declares that his death won’t be in vain

- It was in vain he died again 💔 THEY DIED IN BATTLE TOGETHER AT THE HANDS OF THE SAME KING THEY SPAT IN THE FACE OF 🥰

- Scott is nervous about being Joel’s neighbor in Last Life. And Scar’s for that matter

- After many failed boogey attempts, Joel comes crawling to Scott’s house for one last shot, pretending that Mumbo was the boogeyman and killed him for THAT reason.

- Joel compliments the house (poking fun at Pearl for making Scott do all the work after finding out she didn’t build any of it) and gets them to invite him inside

- He blocks the exit and starts attacking Pearl. He only switched to killing Scott because he was defending her like a boss. He kills Scott and gets cured, but Scott’s like “PEARL, KILL HIM!!” so yeah.

- They get the enchanting table off his dead body and make fun of him for having that on him while trying to kill people, and they keep it as a reward

- I don’t have the memory to be so descriptive. Joel targets Scott’s base many times, the TNT minecart door trap, the trap at the gate that actually worked, blowing up his roof with minecarts, attempting to grief his water elevator, surrounding the base in walls of lava…

- Scott tells Lizzie that her husband keeps trying to murder him. She says that he does that to her, too, and it’s “a sign that he loves you”. Scott says “oh” and IMMEDIATELY moves on

- Scott kills Joel at the end 😁 As a desperate attempt to get them to not kill him Joel yells “TEAM?” lmao

- start of Double Life they run the same direction at the beginning and kind of yell at each other before finally managing to go separate ways

- Scott of course makes fun of Joel’s death because of the way he and Etho were acting. Not to Joel’s face tho.

- Scott compliments the Relation Ship multiple times

- Scott visits the Relation at some point when Joel is there and just vents to him about Pearl. Joel sympathizes with him.

- Multiple times Scott says that he thinks the Boat Boys are good

- Joel kills Pearl but like Scott had nothing to do with that despite also dying

- Scott burns down the Relation cuz he felt like it 😁🔥

- Joel wants Scott dead soso bad

- Joel kills Scott with a rocket while Scott tries to hit him with a bucket of water. 🥰💀

- Then um there was something about a nether portal trap uh for some reason Joel’s not here anymore guess we move on to next season

- After the boogey reroll Scott hears Joel complain about not being boogeyman and says “good to know it’s not you!”

- They go into a ravine cave together. They both saw an emerald ore but Scott mines it

- Joel asks where the emerald is and Scott says he mined it and asks if Joel wanted it. He says yes and Scott gives him the emerald. He calls it an Emerald Of Trust.

- Joel thinks it’s really nice and gives Scott a piece of bamboo in return, which Scott is happy about.

- They are stuck bonding in the stupid cave together because neither of them have much food except Scott’s cooking kelp and sharing it with Joel, so they have to wait for the kelp to cook, split it between the two of them, eat it (NOT FILLING AT ALL), and heal, just a very long process.

- Eventually Joel feels ready to leave and get better food.

- Next time Scott sees Joel, he’s with Jimmy and apparently they are now bad boys

- He watches as Joel washes away carpet like a real bad boy

- As Scott leaves Joel begs him to tell everyone that he and Jimmy are bad boys (this is one that I remember from Joel’s POV, pretty much the only thing on the list that isn’t Scott’s POV lol well actually there was probably another)

- Scott decides to live in the ocean. Joel is upset because HE wanted to live in the ocean.

- Scott watches Joel kill TIES cow for the second time

- While having a hashtag flower husbands moment Scott helps trying to put out the fire on the mansion (too late tho nobody could stop THAT)

- oh I almost forgot. After making his island Scott puts a chest on it to “dump random junk he doesn’t need to keep on him” and AS HE SAYS THIS he hovers over the bamboo Joel gave him and doesn’t put it in the chest. I know it’s moreso because it’s a resource but like.

- Also we all know what ended up happening with that bamboo gift! It surrounds the Coral Isles!

- Anyways Scott needs some carpet for his farm so he goes to the bad boys to ask for carpet. Grian and Jimmy tell him to strike a deal with Joel since he’s the one who has all the carpet. Scott walks over to Joel and says “remember when we bonded in the cave?” and Joel hands him the carpet. Scott says “yay 🥳 good boys! 🥰” and the bad boys are horrified, tell him to never say that again they are BAD BOYS and make him leave.

- (also may be worth mentioning that from what I can tell, Joel didn’t have that carpet on him, and actually ran to grab it as soon as Scott asked)

- god that ^ was all session one. ANWYAYS Joel asks people for gold and in exchange they can have unlimited bread. Scott and Impulse give Joel gold.

- At some point Scott goes to collect some free unlimited bread. Grian and Jimmy stop him like “WHAT are you doing ✋🤨 only IMPULSE has unlimited bread” and Scott says “no I have it too go ask Joel” so they go to Joel and say “WHAT is this about SCOTT having unlimited bread…” and Joel just goes “yup Scott gets unlimited bread 👍” so Scott collects his bread while the other bad boys are just so disappointed in Joel

- Now is where I lost track of the timeline, but I remember once or twice Scott would just be talking usually to himself like “the bad boys are truly the good boys of the server 🥰😇”

- Despite this Scott eventually becomes scared of Joel because he did the math and realized that he’s got so many allies who won’t attack him, and the people who aren’t his allies would likely be too scared to attack Scott EXCEPT Joel.

- And Scott was spot on because he was just chilling when out of nowhere Joel just charges at him yelling “SCOTT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT” and of course after a little more chasing “SCOTT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN STUPID”

- Scott manages to get away and thinks that Joel’s lines were really funny and pathetic and is no longer afraid of him

- Bad Boys try to trap Mean Gills’ secret bed but they get foiled

- The usual Joel wants to kill Scott really bad

- Scott’s like “we have to eliminate Joel” and gets the Clockers to help because he killed them

- Joel is terrified the entire time lmao. I remember “then why is your voice higher pitched?” “BECAUSE IM SCARED” “that’s what I thought” as he lets Joel get away ahahdg

- OH I ALMOST FORGOT Scott letting Jimmy kill him for time and Joel trying to steal the kill cuz lol.

- Back to Scott terrifying Joel. That one time he tells Joel to leave Scar alone and Joel just goes “..ok”

- And then of course Scott kills Joel again 🥳😍 surely this won’t happen again 💀

- OTHER THING I FORGOT TO MENTION CUZ IM MOSTLY GOING OFF MY MEMORY OF THE MORE RECENTLY WATCHED SCOTT POV Joel always destroying Scott’s walls cuz tradition.

So yeah this was all just off the top of my head without looking at anything. I’d love to make a new version when I rewatch SL and/or Joel’s POVs. This proves that I’m normal right

Dungeon Meshi Volume 9 Part 1

Welcome back! I hear you loud and clear. Cover images are fine, as long as they aren't actively spoilery. Now, join me for a very interesting volume!

Today, we go on an ADVENTURE!

It's a good thing you're both so naturally good looking, cause neither of you can style for shit.

As much as I love their relationship, Marcille is definitely pretty controlling, especially early on here. She does improve a lot by the end of the manga though.

Can't really blame them. Between the Asivia disaster, and just, elves in general (Seriously, name a single elf in this story who isn't problematic in some way.), they are right to be wary. I like how each of them has a particular hangup with her. Chilchuck is particularly worried about another Asivia, Shuro doesn't want a total noob, and Namari is a dwarf about it.

They're just such good friends guys.

Thank you random background NPC for agreeing with me.

An important image.

God, I love my two idiot children.

Gosh dang it Dandan, so it was your fault? Also, I have to wonder how medical fraud works in a world with healing magic. Like, what could be possibly be pretending to have that Falin couldn't heal?

You were only mostly dead. And mostly dead, means a little alive.

Lol

Seriously, of all our main characters, she's the only one whose relative age I can't really figure out. Honestly, at this point, I'm starting to suspect she is reletively younger than Falin. Half-elves sure are confusing! While most of the other races have maturity rates proportional to their average lifespan, Half-elves age quicker than elves, but have a much longer lifespan. So who knows.

Three guesses what he does literally two seconds later. The last two don't count.

You know, with how precisely shapeshifters and succubi can extract this sort of information, makes me wonder how easy mindreading would be for a mage. Like, these are scrub-tier monsters wielding some seriously potent telepathy.

It's really sad, isn't it? She's been treated poorly for so long, she's had it drilled into her that she is a freak of a human, when in fact she is a very talented cat.

Izutsumi: Screw you guys. I don't need no one.

Izutsumi two seconds later: Gotta go save my friends!

Moral of the story: Chilchuck thinks the whole party is pretty.

Izutsumi has had just about enough of this nonsense.

Pro tip for all my succubus readers. If you're just mimicking someone's type, like Chilchuck, hordes work great. But if you're mimicking a specific person, the trick stops working if there are multiples. Makes it kinda obvious that it's a trick.

There is something darkly humorous about the fake mothers being defeated by killing their babies.

That's altogether, truly, enough of this nonsense. Actually, the fact that they stayed the same, can succubi only transform once? Or maybe there is just a long cooldown on switching forms?

:3

Presented without comment.

Probably because Kui the dungeon lords are inspired by those old myths. Pity demons aren't real.

Things are getting juicy! Stay tuned for part two.

TB S2 EP 13 THOUGHTS!

True, Omega has gotten really good with being a soldier. She's staying cool in high tension situations, she has good aim, thinks on her feet and outsmarts her opponents easily. But Phee is right, Omega hasn't gotten to just be a kid for a while now. She deserves to have a proper childhood

LOVED seeing Hunter's enhanced senses at work. Sometimes I catch myself going "froce sensitive?" just because he's so hyper-aware

^this is just based on him grabbing that dudes wrist when he tried to take his money

THAT MOMENT WHEN WRECKER GOT UP WHEN THE GUY WAS ALL "shoulda brought more muscle" BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR BITCH

Phee shooting that guy under the table like damn girly alright

"Yes, I am playing against myself. It is the only time this game is a challenge." YES BABY TELL 'EM ALL HOW SMART YOU ARE🤍🤍🤍

"We never had such a thing. I do not see the issue." Oh,,,, oh Tech Baby. Stop telling people how dumb you are🤍🤍🤍

Hunter did look like he was mulling over Phee's words

CID CAN GO AND :)

"Our mutually beneficial agreement wasn't so beneficial,,, mutually." Hunter your himbo is showing babes

HHHHH OKAY IT'S SUBTLE BUT!!! When Phee types in the coordinates to Pabu, her hand lands on Tech's shoulder. He briefly glances down at it, somewhat skeptically, and then she lifts it off again, before patting his shoulder and his eyes widen a little bit and maybe im too invested in this ship and I'll be quiet now bye

PABU IS SO PRETTY OMG

I LOVE that Phee isn't like a pirate-pirate. Like I thought she was shady but dang, she's just taking back people's heritage that was stolen from them and I LOVE IT

"Got some competition." WAAAAHH I KNEW IT

"Welcome" "Welcome" "Welcome" "Welc-" "PUT IT THERE" WRECKER I LOVE YOU

"Lots of food, drink and general merrimaking," points at Tech, "You'll probably hate it. It'll be great." Tech rolls eyes

^YOUR HONOUR I LOVE THEM

NO BECAUSE BECAUSE Tech is the sassy b in the squad and Phee switching her flirting technique from "hi there good looking" to "lol dumb b" IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR BOY WANTS AND SHE FCKING KNOWS IT

AND THEN IT WORKS BC TECH TURNS AROUND TO LOOK AT HER WHEN THEY SPLIT AND HE'S LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE AND THEN HE HAS THE LITTLE SMILE AND DOWN ANGLED FACE AND WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"I have not heard her laugh like that in some time." Heeeeessss learniiiiing (that Phee was right lol)

"As a father, you couldn't ask for a better place to raise a child." Okay, glad we're all on the same page. Like, I'm glad all we gotta do is take one goddamn look at Hunter and just go "Dad."

I know it's supposed to be a joke again, but like Wrecker being full for the first time? That's so sad. Imagine going to bed hungry EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. Being full for the first time is something to remember, Tech should be writing it down.

Omega and Lyana bonding on the boat was so sweet!!

Phee getting Tech away from his datapad to get him to appreciate life's beauty IS MAKING MY HEART SO FULL

"Pretty spectacular, right?" <- Phee using the word spectacular, even though its not in her usual vocabulary, because she's generally more succinct and down to earth, but it's totally a word Tech would use

"I suppose... that is... one way to... quantify it." <- Whenever Tech talks about data or research (topics without emotional involvement) his sentences flow nicely and evenly and he gets about 100 out in 2 seconds. Whenever he has to talk about emotions or emotions are involved in the conversation suddenly he gets quieter and his sentences have less of a flow. He doesn't stutter, but he needs a minute to get them out. hmm yes very interesting.

Hunter checking in with the girls, so cute

Omegas learned a lot and has been pretty secure in her ability, but hearing her sound so scared when the wave came? dang. loved that she immediately called hunter though. V sweet :)

TECH AND PHEE WORKING TOGETHER

PHEE HOLDING ON TO TECH TO GET UP THE WALL HEHEHEHEHEHHE

Not a single 'fear of heights' comment from Wrecker when climbing that ladder. Proud of him :)

Tech pushing through that crowd to check on his bro THE CUTENESS

Wrecker side-hugging the mayor when he's looking at all the destruction I CAN'T THAT'S SO SWEET

So,,, so Phee and Tech just move as a unit now, huh... very interesting

Phee not letting Tech disturb Omega, Lyana, and Wrecker and him listening to her so quickly just,,, I think she'll end up helping him connect to/understand human emotion better and show him how to navigate relationships and I'm SO HERE FOR IT

Like she knows people and is clearly good with relationships, and he recognises that and trusts her to point him in the right direction, WHICH HE DIDN'T AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE!!!

"We could stay and help out with things."

"I had the same idea."

"Did you, now?"

cue cute smiling at eachother

WAAAAAAAA MY BABIES!!!!

10/10 episode, made my heart v happy. Dave Filoni, I have left your walls, you may live in peace until next week.

[justalilgiddybibs]

Dev would tickle Peri out of boredom or just to cheer his Godparent up(missing his Godbrother) before hugging him

SFW tickle fic, no like, click off.

ANON. ANON YOU ARE SO RIGHT. ANON I HAD TO MAKE THIS INTO A FIC HOLY SHIT.

These two need a redemption arc and lots of hugs in Season 2, they NEED it.

One last note- this takes place post-finale, and for those stories I latch onto @/mythica0 's alternate timeline. So if you want to be up to speed on that, go read their fic "Forgiveness"!

Characters: lee!Peri, ler!Dev

Summary: Peri's been thinking a bit too much about his Godbrother. Lucky for him, Dev knows how to cheer him up.

ENJOY!

Peri had been moping for a while now. It wasn't like the fairy to be this melancholy- but here he was. And Dev, despite the act he put on, was growing concerned.

"Peri?"

"Huh? Yeah, kid?"

"What's wrong?" He didn't really expect much of an answer, but it was worth a shot.

"I- it's nothing, kid, I'm fine-"

"No, you're not. Peri, tell me what's wrong."

Peri sighed. The kid really wasn't letting up this time.

"It's about my brother."

"I- huh? You have a brother?"

"You- you remember the whole ordeal with Vicky, right?" The purple clad shuddered at the name. "Cosmo and Wanda mentioned Timmy- their old godkid- who happens to be my Godbrother. He's... He's actually the reason I exist. And I miss him."

"Peri..."

"And I know this is stupid, because he had to forget anyway, that's how fairy godparents work-"

"Peri-"

"But it's stupid! My own Godbrother isn't allowed to remember me because that's what Da Rules say-"

"Peri!"

He stopped. When had everything gone fuzzy?

A small hand pulled him down by the leg from his floating position in the air, and he just stayed still as he was pulled into a tight hug. And the dam broke as tears rolled down his face.

Dev paused. What was he supposed to do? How was he supposed to help his godparent feel better?

He felt Peri turn around and properly hug him, still trying to stop crying.

"Thank you..."

Oh. This was it? Just a hug?

There's gotta be more than that. Peri's still sad. What did Peri do whenever Dev was sad...?

Oh, right. That thing. It could work...

Dev slowly walked his fingers up Peri's side, careful not to overwhelm him but just enough to make his breath hitch in surprise.

"...Dev?"

The ginger smirked behind Peri's back, but pretended to be oblivious as he paused on his ribs, gently scratching in the divots between the bones.

"Yeah Peri? What's wrong?"

Peri desperately tried to keep his laughter in, but of course Dev had to use light tickles. He let out small huffs of laughter, muffled by him burying his tear-stained face in Dev's shoulder.

"Dehev!"

"That's my name, don't wear it out!" He smiled even wider, keeping up the scratching at his ribs and occasionally giving a few gentle skitters to Peri's wing bases, eliciting small squeals and snorts each time. Man, being on the receiving end all those times really paid off.

"Nohoho, DeHEv! Thahat *snort* Thahahat tihihiHIckles!"

"That's the point! Consider it revenge, for all the times you've used this on me! Feels great, huh?"

"Shuhut- NohohOHo!" Peri squirmed slightly in the hold, managing to flip himself around to keep Dev from attacking his dang wing bases. Dev paused, faking a sad face, but then got a better idea.

"Aw, I was having so much fun there! Eh, tummy's more ticklish anyway."

Let's just say Peri regretted his decision to turn around.

"You ready, Peri?"

"Juhust- just goho ahahalreheady!"

"Alright, if you say so!" Dev stifled a laugh himself, before employing both of his hands to gently scratch and skitter along Peri's tummy.

And Peri squealed, high and loud. It was a miracle he wasn't heard. Rapid giggles tumbled out as he kicked his legs, squirming around to try and get the devious fingers away from his sensitive tummy at any cost.

"DEHEHEV! AIIIIHIHEHEHEHE- LEHET ME GOHOHO!"

"Mmm... Nah." Dev blew a quick raspberry on Peri's neck, drawing another squeal and multiple consecutive snorts from the fairy.

"DeheHEHEv- PleHEAse ihit's sO BAHAHAD!"

"Is it, though? I haven't heard you say stop once~"

"ShuHUt uhuhUP!" Peri spluttered out, before immediately gasping and putting a hand over his mouth.

Dev decided to play along, taking mock offense and fake scoffing.

"Shut up? Your own godkid? How dare you! No, I gotta punish you for that." He carried Peri over to his bed, setting him on his lap, and watching him grow increasingly more panicked and flustered. He effortlessly picked up the purple clad and smiled down, before abruptly blowing a raspberry right on his tummy, eliciting another endearing snort, multiple hiccups, and giggles faster than ever.

"DEHEV- DEHEV PLEHEHEASE!"

"You know how to make it stop, Periwinkle~"

"FIHINE, REHEHED! PLEHEASE DEHEV-"

At the sound of the safeword, the ginger let up, setting an exhausted Peri beside him. Peri was still giggling, for another ten minutes after the attack had ceased.

"Aehehehe... How are you so good at that?"

"I learned from the best." Dev gently elbowed Peri as an indication. "AKA, you."

"Oh dear..."

Dev paused for a moment.

"So, you feeling better, now?"

Peri looked at him.

"...Yeah. Thanks, Dev."

I wanted some rottmnt fall-themed farm content this October, so I wrote a little one-shot! Happy Halloween!

--

Raph set his arms on the sill, leaning towards the open window.

The wind had finally began to change, cold air licking its way inside with gentle strokes that pushed the leaves this way and that.

He rested his chin on his forearms, watching the way the air fluttered against the old oak tree. Small leaves flitted to the ground slowly.

Raph tugged at the waistband of his shorts, then tilted his head, willing himself to listen to the rustling sound of the leaves as they slid against each other. Fall truly brought beautiful weather.

Thudding sounded on the stair landing, and after a few moments Raph’s bedroom door was flung open, his youngest brother smiling at him all sunshine orange and grass green.

"Raph!" Mikey beamed. "Come down to breakfast, I made pumpkin cookies!" His hands brushed down the front of his overalls, and cinnamon colored crumbs trickled. He cocked his head, taking in Raph kneeling by the window. "Whatcha doing?"

Raph glanced back at the tree outside, standing and reaching for the window latch. "Just listening to the weather. The oak tree is going to lose all its leaves pretty soon, I think."

"That's fall for you." Mikey mused. "Everything always looks so barren and sad by the time winter rolls around." He tucked his hands in his belt loops, sighing. Then he stepped toward Raph, face alight. "Now come on, pumpkin cookies!" He gestured downstairs excitedly.

"For breakfast?"

Mikey grabbed his hand, leading him towards the stair landing. "Uh, yes! Tomorrow's a holiday; we gotta celebrate! The big pumpkin sale and the corn maze are gonna be great!"

"That's right, I better double check the fields today..." Raph said, listening to the wooden stairs creak beneath their feet.

"Cookies first, Raphie. Lee and Don have probably already eaten half of them."

They rounded the stairs into the kitchen, where Leo and Donnie were indeed stuffing their faces with pumpkin cookies as fast as humanely possible. Both sitting on the counter, they looked up and immediately froze, staring at Mikey and Raph wide-eyed. Leo quickly brushed crumbs from his mouth, Donnie following suit a beat later.

They both pointed to each other, trying to shift the blame.

"Hey! Stop eating all the cookies, you two!" Mikey scolded, stealing the plate from where it sat between them.

"It was Donnie!" ("It was Leo!")

Raph grumbled lightheartedly, pulling the twins off of the counter and setting them on their feet. "Both of you are greedy little cookie thiefs!"

"Can't leave 'em alone for five minutes!" Mikey tutted.

Raph now picked up one of the cookies, pinching it between two fingers and noting the soft golden-brown color. They smelled like fresh pumpkin and cinnamon, and upon first bite he understood why the twins had been gobbling them with vigor. Dang, Mikey knew how to bake.

"Okay." He announced, and Leo and Donnie looked up from where they were antagonizing Mikey for trying to keep the plate out of their reach. "We've got to check all the fields before Halloween tomorrow, so Donnie and Mikey, you'll check the pumpkin patch, and Leo, you're with me in the corn maze."

There was a collective groan.

"Ugh, Raph, it's like, morning. Can't we wait until Halloween night to check everything?" Leo complained, managing to snatch another cookie while Mikey was distracted.

"Hey!"

"No, Leo, we have to prepare the fields in advance. Do you want people coming here only to find rotten pumpkins and a blocked maze?"

"Well I'm not complaining." Donnie said haughtily. "Come Michael, we'll pick out a pumpkin so you can make more cookies tonight." Donnie stood up and beckoned Mikey to follow as he walked toward the back door.

Mikey sprung up. "Alright! I was also thinking I could make a pumpkin cake roll, so we'd need-"

The door closed behind them as they left the house, shutters rustling from a stream of wind that had found its way inside.

Raph looked toward Leo, who was finishing off the rest of the cookies.

"Alright, come on."

...

"Raph, we've been out here for hours; the sun is setting, are we done yet!?"

Raph hiked up the armful of corn stalks that was digging into his bicep, shaking his head. "Not yet. We have to clear out the last track of the maze and make sure there's no snakes near the irrigator. Then we’ll be done."

Leo was also burdened with a large load of cornstalks; it had taken most of the day to clear out all the fallen or dead ones that had been blocking the maze tracks. They were both sweaty and tired, but I was worth it to see the field in such good condition.

"Okay. I'll go check for snakes. I don't think my back can handle carrying anymore stalks." Leo panted. Raph glanced over at him, noting the pained expression. Leo couldn't carry quite as much as he could, but he had ran more loads because he was faster. There were little scratches from the stiff leaves crisscrossed along his arms where his tank top didn't cover.

"Sounds good."

By the time Raph came back from his last load, the sun had finally set, leaving a quiet darkness over the corn field. The stalks went higher than his head, rising into the sky to mingle with the slowly appearing stars. He walked through the maze, trying to remember how to get the irrigation well. It smelled like damp earth and sweet, strong corn.

The maze was actually hard to navigate in the dark, which gave Raph some hope that people would pay for and enjoy it. Donnie had plotted the design months ago in preparation for the Halloween rush. People would pay for entrance to the maze on Halloween night, and afterwards, the corn would be sold, just in time for Thanksgiving. By Christmas they would be rolling in money.

Well, not literally. He would have to remind Donnie that.

Giving up, Raph stopped in the middle of a dark track, walled on either side with corn. "Leo!?" He glanced around, trying to spot movement in the stalks and wondering if he was even close to the irrigation ditch. It was so quiet. Only crickets chirped. Had Leo gone inside already?

A stalk twitched at the edge of his vision, and Raph whipped toward it, peering cautiously through the thickly crowded leaves. "Leo?"

From across the track another corn plant moved, and Raph jumped, now on edge. The shadows seemed long and distorted, making him feel as though something was watching him.

If Leo wasn't in the corn...what was?

The rustling seemed to be getting closer, and Raph backed away, wishing he knew which direction the exit was in. It was almost here, crashing against the corn stalks loudly until- swish!

A garden snake slithered out from the corn, curling innocently towards Raph’s feet. He still yelped, before taking a deep breath and calming down. "Sorry little buddy," he said, picking it up carefully with a stick. "You can't stay here." He stood, looking around again. He still didn't know which way was the exit. To pile on, the maze was beginning to drop in temperature as the stars rose. He shivered, walking forward with the snake held out in front of him.

The darkness grew deeper. He had a bad feeling he was going further into the maze, rather than out of it.

More rustling.

"I'm warning you, I've got a snake!" Raph brandished his snake-stick towards the looming stalks. The rustling was quiet, and Raph leaned down toward it, assuming it was another snake. "Snakey?" The garden snake on his stick looked back at him curiously.

The rustling grew louder again, and this time Raph was ready, picking up another stick and holding it out towards the corn. "If you're a snake, I'm not gonna hurt ya."

However, the rustling became obviously bigger, bending the stalks this way and that. Raph’s gaze roved upwards, terrified. This was no snake.

With a crash, something big broke through the leaves and collided with Raph, knocking him out of his crouch and into the cool earth.

"Boo!" The thing yelled. It began laughing obnoxiously and Raph recognized it as Leo, shoving his brother off of him. His adrenaline was still spiked through the roof, breath coming hard and quick.

"You should have seen your face! Oh, I got you so good!"

Raph scowled at Leo’s snigger. "You scared the baloney out of me!" He punched Leo’s shoulder, and Leo pretended to look hurt, rubbing it dramatically.

"Worth it!"

"Crap! Leo, what happened to the snake!?"

They both stood up, squinting their eyes through the darkness. With a jump, Leo smacked a hand to the ground and drew it back up, now holding the little garden snake by the tail. It wriggled in his grip, clearly unhappy.

Raph picked up the forgotton stick, stepping closer. "Eugh, don't hold it like that, it's creepy."

Leo smirked and dangled the snake close toward him, forcing Raph to back up lest the snake make contact with his face. "Come on, Raph, this is like, the one time a year things are supposed to be a little creepy. Just wait'll you see the prank me and Donnie have planned for tomorrow night."

Raph bonked him on the head lightly, trying to look stern. "No, I will not see, because you two are gonna promise to be on your best behavior." He instructed, carefully getting the snake out of Leo’s hold and setting it on the stick.

"Aw, Raph! It's Halloween! It's no fun when it's all treats and no tricks..."

"Look, just don't cause any trouble. We really need the money this year." Raph looked down, beginning to walk along the maze track.

Leo sighed. "Yeah, I know. With Pops in the hospital, and all."

It got quiet, and for a moment they walked on in silence with only the soft chirps of crickets and the pretty shine of the stars.

They approached a fork, and Raph looked between the two tracks. He had forgotten that he was completely turned around. "You know the way out?" He turned to Leo.

Leo’s face shifted stiffly from a frown to a smirk in the fraction of a second. "Uh, duh. I memorized the maze when we first planted the seeds, Raph, I'm the maze master." He took the lead, taking them towards the right pathway. After a few turns, the porch light began to shine through the stalks, signifying that they were close to home.

Leo stopped as they broke through the exit, and Raph let the snake off its stick and straightened up. "Sorry I kept you so long in the field today, bud."

Leo began moving again, walking towards the back door. "Don't call me bud. That's what dad called me when I was little."

"Sorry."

"Let's just go eat some pumpkin cake and pretend things are okay, yeah?" Leo looked away, stopping with his hand on the doorknob.

Raph stared at the back of his head. "Things are okay, I promise."

"You don't know that. Don't lie to me, Raph."

Raph stood just behind him, feet on the porch step. "The money's gonna help."

"Sure." Leo's fist flinched, and the doorknob turned sharply.

"You guys are finally back!"

I ended up not really finishing this up with something happy, sorry for the depressing ending lol. Let me know if I should write more even though October's over!

[blacktobackmesa]

Hi, I'm sorry I'm back in your inbox again skfbdjdn, but uhhh I was thinking about the headcanons you posted on Valentine's day and now I've got to know how Gordon would react when he realizes he's developing feelings for Funny Benny who lives in the computer. I'm usually a fairly casual frenrey shipper, but with how good you are at writing the hlvrai cast I'm on the edge of my seat to hear about how their relationship in streamman

Ohhh yes yes good. (Also, no apologies, I love messages, they are my friends) I'm gonna go deep into the paint on this one, check below the cut for Gordon's slow realization, the little things leading up to it, and more.

(There's a little allusion to sexual topics. Nothing explicit. Literally just the fact that adults in relationships can have sex. If you are a fan of the show where the climactic final boss monologue has heavy discussion of a dick slip, I don't think you're going to be scandalized, but I've been wrong before.)

Gordon and Benrey have that fun dynamic of "omg stopp what are you doing (does nothing to stop them)", and there's a lot of ways for both of them to be affectionate while obfuscating their feelings. But it's not really like they're trying to hide anything from each other? It's just the language they've built up to communicate. Like:

"Oh, fuck you." [Gordon Translation: That quip was pretty funny, I'm surprised I didn't see that coming.]

"you wish. say please, k?" [Benrey translation: I'm glad my comedy had the desired effect, so I'm continuing my jokes. I'm also implying intimacy by being comfortable enough to make sex jokes about us.]

At some point, Gordon realizes that his interactions with Benrey are making him feel... almost lonely. Which is weird, because the things that make him feel lonely(?) are all the things he likes about hanging out with Benrey. He figures out that he misses being able to have that kind of dynamic with a romantic partner.

Then it takes another full week for him to do the math that "Being with Benrey makes me think about my past relationships" + "I feel sad that I'm not dating anyone" = "I feel sad that I'm not dating Benrey". Look, he's not a scientist. He just plays one in a video game.

First response to realizing his feelings: MASSIVE ANXIETY.

How can they make this work out? What if he's waited too long? He knew Benrey was into him in the game, but this is several years of platonic interaction later. If Benrey still likes him that way, will he be angry and bitter at Gordon for trying to act like he hasn't been quietly turning down Benrey's affections all this time? Even if Benrey's still interested, they're basically on different planes of reality!

Thankfully, he has someone to talk to who helps get some of those anxieties sorted.

Gordon: what about going on dates? Fang: you go on outings with the science team all the time. You literally sit in the dark and watch movies together at least once a month. Gordon: Am I going to be content in a long-distance relationship where I know we can't ever move in together? Fang: Okay, one: his domain is on a computer in your home. Two, you're pretty dang happy with your ""long distance"" friendships. Three, you have the haptic suit. And four, it is none of my business if you decide to buy some very specialized bluetooth devices. Gordon: dude. Fang: I'm just saying you have options on the physical side.

Thankfully, Benrey's kind of glad he waited. Like, it would be awesome if he and Gordon had been together from the start, but he kind of feels better about who he is as a person at this point. Gotta get Benrey lvl. 5 before you can unlock Ultimate Romance. Anyway Gordon asks him out and he ragdolls on the fucking floor

The Conversation Pt 2

18+ Minors DNI

AHEM....dang now I'm trying to catch my breathe and clear my throat. I was not expecting baby girl to come out the bag on me like that. Wow I never thought that's what be going through her mind. I'm tryna take my time with this situation cause it's delicate. I BEEN feeling her for the longest of times. But never really took it anywhere because my best girl had been hurt and was just living her life, and me I had me a good thang. Sweetness is my best-friend though we hang tight she have me doing shit I would' ve never thought about doing before. I always find myself laughing more because of her goofy like behavior. Like right now sitting up in the frozen yogurt place and she looking like a whole good ass time and was trying to keep myself to myself but now shit. Now I gotta talk to my wife about some real shit cause she done swung the door wide open. It makes no since but I should have listened to my baby's sixth sense. See my wife she told me... yeah, she warned me that my best friend had a thing for me. She always said that "it was just a matter of time" before she blows up and spilled the contents of her and and the need of her pussy all in front of me like I'm at Golden Corral buffet.

I know that she is awaiting a response from me but it seems like I'm stuck. I can't articulate any of my feelings into coherent words so I just stare for like a good minute. I'm making her nervous, I can tell by they way she starts to fidget. I had hoped that this situation would never come because I'm a man and I get super weak when it comes to babygirl. I know this and my wife knows this. I guess that why she always said. "When the time comes bring her home and let's talk." When she said that to me I was floored I'm like let's talk, let's talk about what? But I never received an answer. Damn come on think faster... say something she looking like she trying to gather her stuff getting up to leave. Sweetness.. babygirl hold up wait don't leave like that. Let's go get in the car at least I tell her trying to give myself a few more minutes to think of how I should go from here. Getting in the car my mind has started to process everything that she said and I'm realizing that I honestly don't know which way to go. I mean damn I got a lot of love for Sweetness. We sitting here in this car and she saying she regret it and shouldn't have said nothing. My wife happens to call while she saying what she...

"Hey Ma" I say as I answer the phone "Hey baby, can you stop by Mama's Damn Good Chicken for me and order the Finger-lickin platter for me. Oh and tell your bestie I said Hey." "That's all you want babe?" I ask as I looked to right making sure babygirl ain't hit the switch to get out the car. "Yeah thats it." She answered with a chuckle. 'I just know you better get your own platter, because if you don't, you might lose a finger." I laugh in response say goodbye and hang up the phone.

I knew the time had come for me to say something so I'm sad to say I panicked and asked "Sweetness, what do you want me to say. I'm mean for real. You avalanched me with all your thoughts and feelings and I'm feeling at a lost here." I could see the tears glistening in her eyes. As she stared at me and answered "I wasn't expecting anything I was just being stupid and (she mirthlessly laugh) purely selfish. I don't even know why I even opened my mouth." Suddenly before she could say another word I reach for her and pulled her into my lap and kissed her. Realizing what happening she adjust her body til she is straddled on my lap as she began to make love to my lips. The kiss is hot and wet. Our tongues deeper into each other tasting and sample the forbidden flavor of each other. Like thunder crashing loudly her phone vibrates and rings causing us to break away and look at each other. In our faces there is not guilt nor shame just acknowledgement that what this is... it's real and we might be fucked.

Pattys Possum Party Playground is next!

Winns excitement is so cute I love it. I get the vibe this is kind of making fun of places like Chuck E Cheese as shows love doing these days. Gotta admit though the possum thing is making me think of Lester’s Possum Park (if you understand the reference please be friends with me).

Those tunnels would be absolute hell to clean I promise I once worked at a fast food place with a play area with tunnels and. It was pure hell just trust me on this one. Why would anyone play that claw machine if everyone knows it’s rigged.

Wait why broccoli? Why would that taste good with the other stuff in it?

Ah here we go Timmy model is back. They really like using that model for some reason. I uh how did Cosmo LOSE HIS LEGS??? I have so many questions. I swear they act less like humans every episode we see them as humans and I just don’t get it.

Winn you are so cute your excitement is adorable but kiddo. Like all but one animatronic is just not there. The signs are hilarious though. I’m surprised the show went on despite them all being MIA. I hope we don’t get FNAF shenanigans here I will die. In a bad way. Of fear. Those things creep me the fuck out.

Even the turtle is gone noooo they would have been my fave. Aww poor Winn the nostalgia goggles have fallen off. Lowkey though? It is devastating to return to a place you once adored and find it’s just. Not the same as it was when you were a kid and all the magic is gone because of greed. A terrible feeling and even worse seeing a ten year old dealing with it.

Yeah uh Hazel has a point their guys shrinking isn’t playing fair but if they’re riggged can you play fair? Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no. I’m afraid yall. Nothings happened yet but brining an animatronic to life is a VERY BAD IDEA.

Why is Winn thanking Hazel? How do they know she was involved? COSMO AND WANDA LOST THEIR WANDS??? Oh no. They’re all dead. This is a kids show but they’re so dead.

Aww I think only Dev isn’t there, I thought he and Hazel made up. That makes me sad. Winn is having a great time though. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop. Also just realized this wish was in the intro lolz. Wait wait uhhhh why would the claw machine closing make them close the shop early?

Ah there it is. Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no.

Possum food again???? Uhh how? Cosmo??? I have questions so many questions. Also funny that she doesn’t care about Cosmo and Wanda.

Guys that’s not a very good hiding spot. Oh the tunnels are maybe better lolz but not much. Oh Hazels dad is so funny with how much he’s panicking over being thirty seconds late.

I don’t why but then hiding in the tunnels is giving me Bendy and The Dark Revival vibes and I cannot explain why besides vibes. (Bendy is different from FNAF don’t ask why just. Don’t I can’t explain it).

How does she fit in the tunnels? Adults can’t normally fit in them lolZ. Guys maybe stop talking you’ll reveal where you’re hiding. See having Dev would help cuz Peri could wish this away. Unless his parents took his wand to get their wands back lolz.

Wait talking fixed things? Really? Okay then. I mean it’s all good stuff like friends can be apart and still be friends so not a bad lesson. But uh she got over her abandonment issues fast. Hazel. Maybe you should still unwish this wish just for giggles maybe?

Oh I don’t like that ending at all. This Timmy is very very dead I feel.

Overall a fine episode I guess? I feel so bad for Dev though and I know things will only get worse for the poor kid. Give the poor kid friends dang it!

[bat-eclecticwolfbouquet-love]

Bnha didn't do it for me on the whole "Hero-Villain" tropes anymore. It doesn't feel like its groundbreaking ideas are getting written well like how there's no such thing as a defined Hero or Villain, there is just the nature of things. Everything is so Black and White

I think James Gunn's work, Peacemaker actually has amazing ideas on the whole Hero-Villain tropes, everyone had an absolute blast with it, great character developments and also amazing comedy too

The best thing about the entire series is that how they treat comic superheroes in it is exactly how one would expect Superheroes would be treated in a Modern world, like how Aquaman is getting dissed on Twitter lol, Aquaman even said when he made it as the ending's cameo that people gotta stop with the dumb rumours, yes he doesn't fuck fish AND ofc John Cena too, dang he's one hell of character

Also I guess at some point, the entire "Teenage Heroes" trope got stale since it all feels unrealistic and how no one is talking about the gravity of bringing kids into Heroism so early. They missed out on a lot of chances with "Real Horror" with the Modern Heroes World in Bnha, cuz there are bad things in good things and vice versa

It's sad how no one is talking about the societal treatment towards others and how there are always the Villains cuz mostly everyone didn't have the awareness of how badly they treat others who are considered "freaks of society".

The lack of education on certain social aspects is appalling, they ignore the social issues with Quirks in general and didn't educate children on how to treat others kindly regardless of Quirks, you can see that with Bakugo, since it was his huge characteristic everyone knows for. Honestly this part feels extremely realistic cuz it's an actual real life thing but I don't think it was improved and just left it as is. We see the consequences and never solutions to fix

Yeah to me it feels like hero don't face any consequences and the whole 'saving villains things ' was quickly discarded. I'm not saying all should be forgiven but it was made clear they became what they are because of tragedy, especially Shigaraki. I believe nothing is black and white. It's shades of gray, (I think Tokyo ghoul did this really well).

And yeah the whole kids being heroes and put through the things they've dealt with, like the Pro heroes seemed to step aside and let it happen which is weird. Let's be honest the young students were leading the way against AFO and Shigaraki. I know this was there story (Izuku Bakugou Shouto Shigaraki) these were the main characters but that doesn't mean we gotta like how they get there.

I also think the story got darker then people expected.

I've always felt the a hero or villain is perspective. A person can be a great hero then go home and abuse their family. A person whose a villain may be doing bad deeds to help their family or those they love because the system fucked them over. So to those they are the hero and the hero is the bad guy.

Society changes people and shows the world what it thinks is correct. Shigarakis life was horrible he deserves someone to save him but he's committed crimes that can't be swept under the rug yet he only did them cause he was groomed and lied to and abused but all the Society sees is he is bad. Heroes aren't suppose to kill but there ate heroes who enjoy the brutality of beating or killing villains. But their heroes so it's OK.

You made some great points and I really enjoyed reading this.

IM SORRY I RAMBLED. SO MANY THOUGHTS. I HOPE IT MAKES SENSE. I COULD GO ON AND ON. THIS IS NOT SPELL CHECKED.

Week 4 and another episode of Oshi No Ko!!!!

Alright, so at the end of last episode we were all super excited about what Aqua was about to do on the film set, yeah??? Well, I’ve gotta say(at least for me) it was everything I hoped and a complete surprise to me at the same time! Part of me was definitely expecting for him to step in and completely blow everyone away with his acting skills(because despite the fact that he keeps claiming that he’s bad at acting, I just don’t believe it!), and, in a way, he did, just not how I was expecting him to!

Aqua’s obsessive, that’s, like, kind of his number one personality trait. He doesn’t really seem to have any interests or goals aside from getting revenge for Ai/anything to do with Ai and acting(though he doesn’t let himself admit it). That being said, when he enters the scene, when he was practicing for the scene before the camera was rolling, all of that showed the effort and care he put into his acting. He matched up the screen to the manga! Like, that’s next level right there! Also, he literally got himself punched???? Like, dang, dude! Stop claiming not to care about your job if that’s the length that you’re going to go to!

We also get Kana, slowly losing faith in her work in this scene, which was so dang sad!!!! Like, this girl puts so much work into her job and she just cares so incredibly much! Seeing her trying to get Melt-kun to be better and failing and the tremble in her eyes when that happened??? Ooh, it hurt! This girl deserves the best!!!! I’d honestly not be surprised at all if she ends up developing a crush on Aqua(like their conversation on scandals and the “look of a maiden in love” scene seem to imply—at least to me)! Also, if she does end up becoming an idol with Ruby like the end of the show implied then I am so here for it!!!!! More Kana content please and thank you!!!!

Now, Aqua vs the Producer guy—can I just say that the producer gives me the creeps? Like, the way he kept mentioning that Aqua looks like Ai makes me worried that he might have some suspicions about Aqua’s background and, like Aqua and Kana said just a minute or two before that, we don’t want any scandals for these characters! Aqua and Ruby’s very existences are scandals waiting to happen, and I’m sure that it’ll get out eventually, but it would definitely make it even more difficult for Aqua to find their father if it is shared with the public. Oh, and is Aqua gonna be on a dating show????? Part of me is laughing—that boy doesn’t fit the dating show vibes at all!—but, at the same time, Aqua deserves so much better than to go on some dumb dating show just to get that information! Thing is—as I’ve mentioned before—our boy is obsessive and I can absolutely see him going on the show if just for that information.

Moving on from the creepy producer, school’s finally started! Ruby is honestly such a teenager and it’s really sweet—being all nervous about making friends, constantly comparing herself to others, being so excited for it all! Like, Aqua could never! Also, did you all catch Ruby saying that Shiranui(or whatever her name—but we’ll get back to her in a second because she’s giving me some sketchy vibes!) is her number one right now and Aqua—smiling, but still—said that Ai is and always would be his number one? Even though Ruby sort of muttered of course that’s the way it is for her, too, and all this is just another clear indicator of how Ruby is moving on from what happened with Ai while Aqua just isn’t.

It did make me remember the fact that Aqua doesn’t really seem to have any of his own interests, though. Like, yes, there’s acting, but the Director got him started and then Ai asked if he was going to be an actor in her dying moments, so how much of this is really him? Aqua—both as Aqua and as the Doctor—don’t seem to have any interests of their own. Ai was gotten from Sarina, acting was got from Ai, and what else is there? Revenge, which is just the Ai obsession twisted into something darker? Sarina said that this is a man with no dreams, and I’m inclined to believe her. He became a doctor in his first life—something that seems incredibly ambitious on the surface—but as a doctor he was lackadaisical and seemed to have no passion for his work. That’s not really ambition—or at least it doesn’t seem like it. Did he become a doctor then see all the better doctors and retreat just like he did as Aqua with acting? I’m so curious! Also, the fact that Aqua’s good at reading people’s intentions(which was mentioned in this episode as well as the first with how Aqua’s good at knowing what the directors want) makes me wonder if he’s always been good at knowing ad doing whatever it is the people around him want him to do. I really want to know more about his background—in case you haven’t figured that out yet!

Now, back to the story, Shiranui? The famous chick in Ruby’s class? Straight-up, she seems hecka suspicious to me! Like, everything she’s said and done so far seem very surface-level and pre-planned to me. Knowing where Ruby’s friend is from as well as the name of the show Aqua was in? Why on Earth would she know that much detail??? I feel like that morning—when she skipped the entrance ceremony—she was actually studying up on her classmates so that she would be able to seem smart and caring or whatever to make herself look better. I mean, she called Sweet Love good? Sorry, but even though I do think Aqua did a good job on his scene I doubt that this chick sincerely watched the show and thought it was good. That is, unless she’s part of the dating show that Aqua’s gonna be on and that’s why she had a job that kept bringing it up and bothered to watch it! Out of the two options, though, I believe the studied it all for her public persona reason quite a bit more.

Overall, another enjoyable episode! After the first episode I will say that these all feel too short for me, but maybe that’s good because it means that I’m always hungry for the next episode! Next week will probably focus more on Ruby and the idol group they’re creating, but I can’t wait to see how that will all go, too! Maybe we’ll also get more of Aqua in school—which I’m actually a bit interested in. Oh, finally, crack theory: do you all think that Aqua’s gonna end up missing a ton of school for acting jobs and then almost be held back a year in spite of being the top of his class purely because he’s lacking in attendance? I doubt it’s actually going to happen, but gosh, the idea occurred to me while watching this episode and I haven’t been able to stop laughing since!

Anyway, see you all for episode 5 next week!

Aight. So about my crazy idea- I’m making a fanfic about it. I can’t help it. So now y’all gotta suffer with it lol. Enjoy!

⚠️TW⚠️: swearing, possession, fighting, knife being held to someone’s throat, and i don’t really know what else-

=======================================================================

6:00 am

It was a cold-ish rainy morning. Massachusetts was laying curled up on his side with a book, his headphones and phone, and a blanket over him. Yep. He stayed up all night reading again. He really needs to stop doing that, and the other states make sure to tell him that, but it ain’t like he’s gonna listen to them. How ironic is it that he’s the one that knows all about medical stuff and what could happen if you don’t sleep, and a bunch of other sh*t, yet is probably the most reckless and risk-taking state there? Anygays- we’re getting off topic.

Mass slowly sat up, his back popping a little as he sat up, and checked the time on his phone. He sighed and decided to just get up and start his day. His cat, Mayflower, that was sitting at the edge of his bed meowed disapprovingly at being woken up and disturbed, walked over to where he was sitting, and hopped onto his lap, startling the Bay State. He giggled slightly and started petting her, Mayflower purring as he did so.

"I’m so sorry for disturbing you, your Majesty. I didn’t realize that I couldn’t get out of bed without disrupting your slumber. I shall in fact burn for crimes." He said, faux apologetically, but not being able to stifle the giggle at the end. Mayflower meowed at him and turned around, hopping up and putting her front paws on his shoulders. She rubbed her face all over his face, neck and ears affectionately (idk I’ve seen videos of cats rubbing their faces on their owners and apparently that’s supposed to be affectionate-).

He smiled and gently pushed her off. "Stahahap that you gohohof! (Stop that you goof!)"

Mass got up and walked to his bathroom so he could get dressed when heard a deeper voice in his head. ‘Ughhhhh not you again…" he thought.

‘Yes it’s me again! Good morning dumba$$.’ Satan’s Kingdom responded.

‘What do you want…?’ Mass responded mentally.

‘What do you mean….. Who says I want anything?~’ S.K. answered with faux confusion and sadness.

‘Whenever you decide to speak to me, it’s either because you want something, or you wanna make my life a living-f(speaks Boston) hell.’ The Bay State answered, clearly not wanting to this sh** today (it be like that sometimes 😔✊).

‘Ok fine…. I just wanted to if-‘

‘No NO you may not. I know what you’re about to say, my answer is f(speaks Boston) no.’ Mass said as he brushed his hair in front of his mirror

"Awwwww why not?~ It’ll be fun~" The village(Satan’s Kingdom) whined.

‘No means no, jacka$$.’

Mass heard a slight chuckle from the other being in his mind. Well that can’t be good.

‘Well you see, Massachusetts…. You don’t exactly have a choice in the matter~’ Mass’s eyes widened as he was forced out of control and sent into the mind-space.

S.K. was now in full control of Mass’s body. "Ohoho now THIS- is gonna be fun~" He said to himself, ignoring Mass’s attempts to get control again. He grabbed Mass’s hoodie that Mass had chosen to wear that day and put it on, surprised when he saw how big the hoodie was on him. "Dang. Is the hoodie that big or this thing really THAT thin.-" he said under his breath. He grabbed Mass’s hat and put it on, pulling his hood over it. Next was the eyeliner. Ok, done. S.K. looked in the mirror and grinned, flashing his fangs that went all the way to the back of his mouth, and flicking his forked tongue a bit. Nobody’ll notice the teeth, slit pupils, and tongue right? Naw. Probably not.

=======================================================================

Downstairs:

S.K. walked downstairs to where a couple other states were and poured himself a cup of coffee. He was about to take a sip of coffee when he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned around to see New Jersey. ‘Quick how does Mass act towards him?!- Insanely aggressive right? Yea I think this is the one.’

"Mornin’ sleeping beauty." NJ said with a small smirk as he poured himself a glass of milk.

"Stfu." S.K. responded coldly. He noticed the slightly offended look on Jersey’s face.

"Well d*nm somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, huh?" Jersey said.

"Perhaps so. Now shut it and let me drink my coffee." S.K. said, and then taking a sip of coffee. Except the thing is, he didn’t add creamer or sugar or literally anything. He just drank it straight up. Which Mass never does. And unfortunately, Jersey caught that small detail, seeing as how often he goes to Dunkin with Mass.

Jersey chuckled a bit and took a sip of his milk. "Well that’s new."

"Whaddya mean?" S.K. questioned, glaring at the state in front of him.

"Ya never drink yer coffee black, so I was just stating that that was new." The Garden State said.

"O-oh. Yea. Um. Whatever." S.K. said, silently cursing himself for stuttering.

Jersey looked at the smaller with a bit of confused expression. "Are ya doin’ alright? Ya seem to be a bit off. Are ya sick or smth?" He said. He reached his hand to the other’s forehead and feeling the side of his face (well it’s more like closer to under the ear/around the jaw-), only to have his hand swatted away.

"I’m fine. I ain’t sick." Said the smaller of the two.

"Ok then…? I’ll see ya later at the meetin’ I guess." Jersey said and started to walk off.

"The what?!" S.K. shouted, spitting out his coffee into the mug.

Jersey turned around confused. "Yea…? Didn’t ya get the email bout’ the meetin’ at 3?"

"Oh.. OH- that meeting! Oh yea, it probably just slipped my d*nm mind I guess. See ya later." And with that he walked away, leaving Jersey in mild confusion.

=======================================================================

Later at the meeting:

S.K. could now understand why Mass hated these meetings so much. It was sooooooo f(technical glitch)in’ boring… He put his hood up, pulled it down as much as he could, and then just stopped listening to everybody else. What he did notice, however, was Louisiana staring at him, seemingly studying him. Watching his every movement. Satan’s Kingdom tried to remember ANYTHING about Loui, and then it him. He forgot 2 things. 1:Loui is one of Massachusetts’s best friends, and 2: Loui is in fact capable of sensing bad energy or different energies and spirits, ghosts, demons, ect…. Sh*t he hoped that Louisiana wouldn’t say anything or sense anything. Unfortunately for him though, Loui did sense something was wrong.

From across the Table, Loui felt that something was a bit… off, to say the least. He could feel a new type of negative or even demonic energy in the room. Well there weren’t any apparitions in the room, seeing as Loui had already checked for any and found none. He was about to give up trying to figure out what it was, but it bothered him too much. He looked around the room and looked at the energy of the other states (+Gov), checking off each one after he checked. Florida… The Fed… Texas… Cali… York…… and all the rest seemed somewhat normal. That was until he got to "Massachusetts". There was something that felt incredibly wrong, and he was kinda worried for his friend. He hadn’t even noticed Gov calling his name until he heard someone shout "Louisiana!!"

He snapped his head towards Gov, who had been the one who called him. "Huh?"

Gov just sighed. "I’ve been trying to get your attention for the past 5 minutes."

Loui rubbed the back of his neck with a slight chuckle. "Whoops- Uh- Whatcha need, sha?"

Gov rolled his eyes fondly. Nobody, and I repeat, NOBODY, is ever really able to hate or be mad at Loui. "I just wanted to know if you had any updates about anything going on in your state that I might need to know about?" He said.

"O-oh. Uh- no. Nothin’ dat comes to mind, sha." Loui said with a smile.

"*sigh* Alright then. New York?" Gov said, then continued.

"F(speaks New York) you." NY said with a slight glare.

"As always you’re such a pleasure to speak to."

"Piss off."

Louisiana had pretty much gone back to what he was doing in the first place. He noticed that "Mass" seemed to be fidgeting with something with something under the table. So, purely out of curiosity, he slid down in his seat a bit so he could see under the table. His eyes widened a bit as he saw what “Mass" was holding in his hands. It seemed to be a small double-bladed thing with weird designs on it.

He sat back up and looked at "Mass" who hadn’t seemed to notice the fact that he saw the blades.

"H-hey sorry fo’ interruptin’,- um hey Mass you doin’ aight sha?" Louisiana said, sending a slightly apologetic look Gov’s way.

‘Sh*t-‘ Satan’s Kingdom thought as he panicked for a second. "Uh- yea why do ya ask?" He said, giving the younger a slight glare.

"Well- you seem a bit… off, today. I’m sensin’ a very negative energy comin’ from ya, it ain’t like yer usual moody sleep-deprived energy." Loui said.

"I’m fine."

"Are ya sure sha?"

"Yes. Shut it."

"Again. Are you sure? Cuz if there is somethin’ wrong I can h-" Loui started but cut off by “Mass" grabbing a random vase and throwing it at him. The vase hit Loui directly in the side of his head and shattered, knocking him out of his chair and onto the ground where he curled up holding his head. Chaos only arose from the table.

"LOUI-!" Florida screamed as he got from his chair and kneeled down at Loui’s side, Texas following.

"WHAT THE HE// MASS?! What is wrong with you?! He was trying to he help!?!" Texas shouted while glaring at "Mass" and trying to get Loui to uncurl himself.

"Yea wtf?!" New York shouted turning to Mass and standing up, glaring at him. He was shocked when he saw "Mass" with a sick-evil grin on his face and glowing red eyes staring back at him through his hood. His face fell when the realization hit him. "You’re not my brother…"

"It took you f(technical glitch)in’ morons THAT long to figure it out?! Ha." Satan’s Kingdom said with an insane look in his eyes that sent shivers down the spine of the usually stoic New York.

"I thought we got rid of you a while ago!?!" Connie (Connecticut) shouted.

"Nope! Now, you’re next, Yorkie!~" S.K. said as he leaped up and swung the blades at York, luckily though York managed to just barely dodge it. (Sh*tty fight scene coming up-)

S.K. snarled and jumped at York with the blades again, this time managing cut York across the cheek and making the other hiss in pain. The smaller of the two had a wicked grin on his face as he licked the blood off the knife and swung again, this time cutting New York’s arm, which made the other yelp (as in the way a dog does). Jersey had gotten up to go assist York, but got pushed back down into his seat by Oklahoma (whom he sat by since I’ve decided that he sits between Texas and Oklahoma). He glared at Oklahoma who just told him to sit tf down and let York deal with it and just reluctantly listened to him.

York eventually managed to somehow grab the blade as S.K. swung again, but unfortunately this meant that the blade cut into his palm. But ofc he didn’t care and managed to twist the knife out of S.K.’s hand by the blade and toss him at the wall with the knife to his throat. He found unnatural joy in the panicked look of his brother’s controller, but quickly shut it out as he came back to reality and the situation at hand. He was about to slit the other’s throat but something S.K. said stopped him.

"W-wait! Now b-before you s-slit my throat, you need to remember one important thing." S.K. said.

"And what the f(speaks New York) is that?!" York half yelled half said normally.

Satan’s Kingdom just chuckled before giving an evil grin and saying, "Well you see Yorkie~ Me and your pathetic excuse of a brother share a body. Meaning… If you kill me, you also kill your useless brother.~"

New York’s face fell slightly as he realized that the stupid man controlling his brother was right. ‘Then how do we get Masshole back without hurtin’ im’….’ While he was lost in his thoughts, he heard a loud voice shout:

"I need the Commonwealth of Massachusetts present at the table right this moment!!"

York turned around, still keeping S.K. pinned on the wall, to see that it had been Gov that shouted that. Gov. Of all people. To say York was surprised to see the usually anxiety-ridden man standing confidently with a stern look on his face is an understatement. He didn’t think Gov had it in him. He was quickly snapped out of his thoughts tho when he felt something give up behind him. York quickly turned back around to see his brother looking at him with tear-glazed eyes and let go, letting Massachusetts slide down the wall and curl up in a little ball.

It quickly dawned on York that Mass was having a panic attack and couldn’t calm down or breathe at all, so he decided to try to do something that Mass used to do with him when he was younger (and smaller cuz now York is 5’10 while Mass is 5’6-). He reached his good hand out in front of Mass so the other could see it and decide whether he wanted to take it or not, and York was secretly hoping and praying that he did. He could see that Mass had seen his hand and was considering whether to take it or not. Aight. So about my crazy idea- I’m making a fanfic about it. I can’t help it. So now y’all gotta suffer with it lol. Enjoy!

It quickly dawned on York that Mass was having a panic attack and couldn’t calm down or breathe at all, so he decided to try to do something that Mass used to do with him when he was younger (and smaller cuz now York is 5’10 while Mass is 5’6-). He reached his good hand out in front of Mass so the other could see it and decide whether he wanted to take it or not, and York was secretly hoping and praying that he did. He could see that Mass had seen his hand and was considering whether to take it or not.

At much as Mass would hate to admit it, he was terrified. He had been so weak that S.K. had been able to take control, he hurt his brother and one of his best friends… He flinched a little when he saw his little brother’s hand in front of him. Thoughts of the possibility that York was mad and about to hurt him went racing through his head. Mass then decided that whatever happened to him would probably be well deserved, so he reluctantly took his brother’s hand and expected to be hit or thrown at the wall. What he didn’t expect was for York to pull him into his lap and wrap him in a tight hug and start rubbing his back soothingly. Safe. He felt safe. York wasn’t gonna hurt him. He buried his head in his brother’s shoulder and tried to calm down and slow his breathing.

"Aww-" Florida started but was quickly cut off when Texas used his good hand that wasn’t holding Louisiana to smack him in the back of the neck. Unfortunately Mass got a glimpse of Loui, who was unconscious in Tex’s arms, and that didn’t help with him trying to calm down.

New York could feel Mass getting riled up again and teleported back to his room where he managed to get Mass to calm down completely and get him to sleep.

Jazz For Two Live Blogging

Another kBL, here we go.

Ep 1 (Apr 11)

ASTCO boys

I think I heard something or other about bullying and I wasn't sure if it was between the main couple since it's enemies to lovers but it seems like it's between the second couple? is homophobia gonna be an aspect of the bullying?

ah, somebody dear to him used used to play piano but is... probably dead now?

Taejoon, Taeyi they were probably brothers ig

but did Taejoon die on Taeyi's birthday then?

Ep 2 (Apr 11)

lol this is the "that's my boyfriend" scene that's in so many edits/clips for the show

lmfao tripped and spun long enough in each other's arms for it to basically be a dance

I was kinda expecting Doyoon to walk in but makes sense it's the other guy Juha since Doyoon went home

hm Juha being weird to Seheon... is it to get back at Taeyi cuz he thinks they have a thing? Well don't harass Seheon

Ep 3 (Apr 12)

I really fucked up starting this right now agh... I'll try to go back to doing my work after watching a few scenes

Juha gotta stop playing with Seheon like this! Creep >:(

but what is Juha telling Taeyi

woah Seheon is such a fool lmfao first being like Juha sunbae doesn't seem like a bad dude like no way... and second being like oh! The reason Taeyi doesn't like Juhee is because he likes Juha lmfao. clocked him being into guys lol but wrong guy

this show kinda funny lol the way Seheon asked everybody for help and is not even telling Taeyi that he apparently likes Juha

okay y'know what at least Seheon is indeed in the noraebang so I'm sure he'll step in... at some point... right? Becuase I was worried what Juha was gonna do to Seheon but he really just seems to have the most fun when he's playing with Seheon right in front of Taeyi to make him jealous. creep tho

I actually don't get it, is Seheon dumb af regarding what Juha is doing?

bruh Juha is such a creep and so scary too D: Is Doyoon really gonna end up with him :(

NO ! >:( what fuckass kiss already no !

Ep 4 (Apr 12)

...welp I watched full ep 3 unfortunately, smh

agh i do get the appeal of the bully romance aspect but it’s so agh like how dare Juha treat beloved puppy cute Doyoon like that

taeyi having trouble sleeping but falling asleep listening to seheon play piano

even the therapist being like hmm you got any feelings for him?

watched this much in bed before going to sleep lol

dang, Taeyi is ill?

Ep 5 (Apr 12)

Juhee saw her brother punch Doyoon (but not Doyoon kissing him first?)

Doyoon and Seheon are cute friends, can't they end up together and not Juha with Doyoon? Or at least give me something to warm up to Juha/Doyoon soon

Ah, scene from the beginning of Taeyi coming to Seheon with the umbrella

another fakeout kiss, this time from the main couple lol

Ep 6 (Apr 12)

so did they kiss in-show or no?

i'm gonna assume no and it was just supposed to be a trick with the umbrella smh

hah only one bed

dirty?!

ah, everything falling apart for Juha but he's still scary so no

i hope this turns out to be a real Taeyi/Seheon kiss

Ep 7 (Apr 12)

i hope Taeyi doesn't react badly to the kiss...

I was like okayyy Juha/Doyoon convo but idek how I feellllll cuz like I'm into it with one foot while with the other I'm like it's not... enough yet to make up for his creepy/weirdo/scary behaviour but it's still... cute idk

Oof Taeyi really wiped his mouth

Taeyi talking about whether he's a girl to Seheon or Seheon considers himself a girl is kinda crazy actually

omg why are these love interests all so scary T.T Taeyi stoppp wtf is this sexual assault kinda

okay didn't take too long to make up apparently

both the couples have become so ooey gooey cute, is it earned? who knows

What's up with the Jazz For Two thing, did their brothers have something too or what? Or is it plagiarism?

Ep 8 (Apr 12)

Did he die because of you is a crazy thing to ask fr

Taejoon and Sejin whole history goddamn but it also parallels the two couples' stories (except sad ending)

ah, Seheon wants to break up with the Taeyi cuz of all their brotherly mess?

they usually make up quickly which is good cuz we're literally at the last ep hah

hehe Seheon and Doyoon besties

ah Juha in the group now

kiss

idk if I wanted more of Juha/Doyoon or not like... I might've warmed up to them more? because theoretically I could like the dynamic if it's more developed

Overall:

Nobody in this drama asks before kissing lol not Doyoon, not Seheon, not the little kiss that Seheon's brother gave to sleeping Taejoon, and the other two, Juha and Taeyi, are experts in being creeps and having internalized homophobia that they direct outwardly to the guys they like as well (Seheon's brother fits here too lol). Yet, I enjoyed it a fair amount, the story was coherent, the acting was fine, I was endeared by Doyoon (is he the Omega X kid?), and the dynamics were enjoyable, if iffy on certain counts. Not super attached though.

Piofiore: Episodio 1926 Part 3 - Nicola Francesca Route

Well, I'm already liking the start of Nicola's route, like excuse me, that CG is beautiful. Nicola whining about finishing work and going to sleep on a bed Lili wasn't in was so cute haha, especially when he kept asking her if she'll marry him so whenever he comes home, she'll always be there to welcome him back. Lmao when Dante got a bit happy over Lili making pasticciotti and Nicola got a bit jealous and said Lili is his haha. I love that Nicola was serious about proposing to Lili and was visibly happy that she agreed even if he knew she was probably not taking it seriously. It was honestly hilarious hearing how flustered Nicola was when Lili saw how bad he's at waking up when it's someone else like Leo waking him up hahaha. It was so adorable how Nicola said he didn't want to tell Lili the Falzone family business was losing their clients because it looks lame that his work is wearing him down hahaha. It was obvious that Ernesto De Feo, the new governor, was related to Roberto, but his father huh? Guess Nicola's story can't get away from the De Feos haha. Gotta love a man that would say he'd kill whoever and whenever if it means saving you, like dang, Nicola!! It's crazy but I love it!!

I thought Dante being stuck in jail was the worst thing to happen, but seeing Gil's manor burning down and one of his guys running out with his charred arm falling off and skin peeling off?? That is terrible. I feel so bad for Gil, especially since he really cherishes everyone. I held out hope for Oliver to survive, but I guess not😭😭😭 Nicola's mother's death was pretty tough for him especially since he was so young. He knew she needed to be stopped but he didn't want or expect her to die. He wanted to protect Dante but that in turn caused his mother to die since she wanted Nicola to be the head instead of Dante, it's too cruel to try and assassinate Dante though, he was just a kid! But yeah, it's sad for him to realise that his words helped Silvio understand Nicola's mother's intentions and kill her off. I can see why Nicola wouldn't want Lili to know he's doing all that "dirty" stuff like kidnapping and threatening politicians to get Dante out of jail. She's only ever seen the good stuff about Nicola and whatever "bad" stuff he's done, he's got "good" reasons for so it's never made Lili think he was a bad person, but if she knew that he was willing to kill the politician's wife and kid if need be, would she still love him as much as she does now? It's difficult for him to show how vulnerable he can really be when he's never really allowed himself to consciously do such a thing. Teo is actually much more annoying than I thought he would be and I kinda wish we got to see Roberto's father as the "villain" of this route instead lol. Otherwise, I'm happy that Lili is stronger than I thought and supports Nicola's decisions even if he doesn't tell her everything. Even though I think the thing about their love being preordained by fate was a silly thing for drama, I do enjoy how seriously Nicola took it so that he could tell Lili with complete confidence that their love wasn't fate and that it was their choice to be together out of their own free will.

It seems like the more we go along with the story, the more likely it is that Teo is Lili's brother or something. Yang appearing was unexpectedly...random lol. On the other hand, I'm glad Nicola burnt down those ruins and freed Lili and the Falzone family from their mission of being the keepers of the grave protecting this relic that has been shackling them and Emilio for so long. I think it's about time everyone got to live their own lives. As for the CG with Nicola properly proposing to Lili? It was superrr cutee! As for the tragic ending, seeing how happy they were preparing for their wedding, I wouldn't have expected the ending to be a sad one, mainly because I really enjoyed the church scene where they rehearsed their lines, but I guess that was a death flag haha. Gil dying was terrible, but Bartolo dying?! That broke my heart. Seeing Nicola cry over Lili dying in his arms was very sad, if I had the same guts, I would do the same as Lili though. I think I would have liked the tragic ending more if it was a bit longer, since it would have been interesting to see how Nicola would choose to end his life so he could be with Lili imo, but I guess that's kinda morbid of me to say haha!

Overall, I enjoyed seeing how much Nicola loves Lili and how he tried to hide things from her so that she wouldn't hate him. In the original game, it felt like Nicola's main priority was always Dante, so seeing him cherish Lili just the same and even more was very sweet to see here. However, I have to say in terms of plot, it's definitely the weakest because it had no clear direction on what it wanted to do with the story until near the end, and even then it felt quite abrupt with how they dealt with Yang, it's like they felt they needed a physical fight and a villain so they just threw him in lol. As for Teo, I felt bad for him but he was crazy, and I think if the story bothered to explore his side of things more and give a bit more context to his thoughts and history, it would have been better. Burning the ruins was a great end to everyone's suffering but literally nothing in the middle that happened in this route was memorable or really needed for that to happen because Nicola would have done that if he could considering he's always wanted to free Dante from his responsibility. So yeah, route was definitely lacking and things weren't as spicy as they could have been so I'd say the route was quite bland even though it was cute at times, but I did still really enjoy the romance because of how much Nicola visibly showed through his actions and words that Lili was very much loved and cherished by him.

Of Course Tumblr ate my ask and deleted my very heartfelt message to you about how we got a double update;

so I read the tactical Donnie thing first and let me tell you I was having a moment it was a crime. This was an iconic scene in my head because technical Donnies everything I wanted and everything I didn’t know I wanted.

So I was I was really having a stressful day, but honestly Donnie didn’t need to be an asshole, and I think that reader she would choke him out with her thighs alone. I just wanted to say that, but the fact that he was using a different caliber of airsoft bullets versus like what you’re supposed to use against a normal human made me want to fight because I was like, sir not everyone has a turtle shell like you and honestly meet me outside.

oh I can’t stand him but I love him so much. He’s so handsome and to be honest I don’t think I would’ve been able to focus on the game if I saw the way his side profile.

And then I read crush too much because I didn’t realize that we had a double update and I saw everybody was talking about it I said what did I miss? I have my notifications on and I looked and I screamed it. so I had to read it at work and I was losing my mind but like yet oh my God, I know geology is boring but I love rocks, so I really feel like reader is low-key a pigeon because rocks are great

and they’re shiny and they’re trying to like figure out which rock they are which I was on my knees for.

and his Skating is amazing. I can’t believe they’re gonna kiss. I’m gonna lose my mind. I am going to lose my mind.

Oh, as a sidenote, I pay thousands of dollars to see Tactical Donnie on his knees where he supposed to be because sir you gotta make up for this cause we are wounded.

Yours 🌙 crescent anon

I'm sorry on behalf of tumblr, crescent!

I bet Mr. Mean Shot wouldn't be so happy if someone shot his softshell with those weight BBs 😒

Tactical!Don is just the neatest. I want to put him on a shelf amongst other things 🙈

I also love rocks. In my heart of hearts I was a little sad to fictionally dunk of them, though I must admit reader's geode reading actually took me by surprise! I wrote it out and then stopped and read back what I wrote and was like 'what was that!?' full blush and everything! I guess my love of stones did end up spilling out 😅

Ah dang, I coulda used the money too, but alas, Tact!D has a mind of his own 😏
