#i guess his excuse is he IS a pirate so meh

[infamouslydorky]

Unpopular take perhaps but Fishman island was such an important arc because it forced Luffy to have his remaining two braincells huddle together for warmth in the vast, harsh wasteland that is his empty cranium to produce a singular thought and actually consider that perhaps his actions have consequences and should he act so rash, people will die. Was it a fully successful thought process from him? No, he had to outsource that to Jimbei, but still, he certainly didn't learn better from marineford despite his loss and grief

I just got mouth surgery so I did what anyone would do- watch the entirety of Mermaid Magic on Netflix while half zonked on hydrocodone. Review incoming (no major spoilers)

Synopsis: Three mermaids set out to save their kingdom and get stranded on the surface. They're taken in by two teens who vow to help the mermaids save their kingdom and defeat an evil ghost pirate. Also there's a merpuppy. He is the most useful character in the show.

The first episode starts out solid. We get introduced to the important players and get a sense for them right away. L to R, there's Nerissa (serious but loving bodyguard), Merlinda (free-spirited warrior princess), and Sasha (influencer).

Does every kid's show now have to have an influencer character? It is a nice change of pace we don't have the cliche of magical creatures freaking out over human technology. I also like that they have what I think is an artificial sky with their civilization mostly on land, making mermaids in this world amphibians.

They're trying to stop the McGuffin pearls from being stolen by the ghost pirate Barbarossa and the mysterious sea witch

Barbarossa is such a captain Barbosa rip off they barely try to hide it. There's even a scene where he transitions from flesh face to skeleton face to intimidate someone. They're both serviceable if unoriginal villains. At least he has a flaming sword.

We get a lot of cool fight scenes with these guys because the mermaids ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO FIGHT. Seriously, some of this fight choreography is SO GOOD.

Merlinda has been warrior training in secret with Nerissa for years. Her dad is overprotective since her mom "disappeared," so right off the bat we get fun chase scenes and an excuse to show off their powers.

Did I mention the mermaids have powers? Yeah, every mermaid gets their own ocean-based super power. Nerissa (above) has electricity, Merlinda is hydrokinetic, and Sasha can camouflage herself and others to be nearly invisible. She also has bubbles, but it's not used nearly as much and is kinda meh? I guess she needed a combat power so they gave the bubbly girl bubbles?

I don't mean to hate on Sasha, she's just a type I've seen too many times before. But she is one of the few supporting characters who kind of gets development, and she's proactive enough she's not boring. She also brings the merpuppy.

(No joke, the merpuppy saves their butts or moves the plot forward multiple times. They'd be lost without him. His name is Beau Junior.)

They didn't even need to give her a combat power because they're all proficient with tridents. Each mermaid has a magic ring they can use to summon a trident and active their magical girl sequence

I absolutely love their warrior outfits. They're unique to each person in style, not just color, the colors they do have go well together, even their fin shapes are based on different fish. It's nice when you know it's not just copy and pasted with new paint. My favorite thing is that the transformations make their hairstyles more battle ready. And when they're on land, they all get PANTS! I've never seen a transformation sequence be so practical, I love it T-T

This show is also a marketing dream, because you get five doll modes right off the bat. Let's use Nerissa again because I love her and her outfits are the best

They have mer-casual, mer-warrior, human, and both mer-outfits have land and sea modes. The marketability almost makes up for how ungoogleable the title and characters are.

Enough about marketing, back to the show.

The human leads are twins Tyler and Celia, descendants of John Silver who basically run their father's marine rescue

Tyler is a true himbo. He's goofy and not the brightest, but without being irresponsible or negligent, which is usually how these kind of male characters are written. Tyler is blond and male, so of course he's a love interest.

Celia is a budding eco-warrior, but social awkwardness holds her back until Sasha steps in to help her. I'd argue Celia has more chemistry with Sasha than Tyler has with Merlinda.

It's nice the humans stay involved with the mermaid quests the whole time. Even when they're underwater, they use technology to keep up and stay relevant.

I wasn't gonna talk about individual episodes, but guys, I GOTTA talk about the bank episode.

~~~~BANK EPISODE DIVERSION~~~~

So episode 6 starts out with the marine rescue about to be bulldozed with several people inside because the bank foreclosed on their house. They play it off as the dad missing dozens of phone calls and emails, but they show the daughter going through the bills. Surely this is something they would have sent in writing? They were not given in-person or written notice, these guys just showed up to bulldoze the house without checking if it was occupied because the bank owns it now. Why would the bank immediately demolish it instead of auctioning a beachfront property? Who knows!

Instead of doing the normal human thing and calling their boss about how all they can do is get paid to sit on their butts while bureaucracy happens, the demolition guys continue to swing a wrecking ball at the house. Even after they see the house is filled with several minors, they shrug and go, "That's a you problem" and start forward to RUN THEM OVER. Yes, even the children. This is a thing normal humans would do.

The mermaid sabotage the wrecking equipment to buy them time to do a fundraiser. They advertise only to kids at their high school with very lame social media posts, and it's never stated HOW they're doing the fundraising? They're just. Throwing a party at their house with a donation jar on a table. Okay.

It's not even a good party. They're acting like things are going great, but the animation budget won't let it be more than sparse groups of kids refusing to dance to terrible music. They couldn't even play the theme song? Or the transformation music, that music is great if you ignore the forced rap verse! When the party inevitable gets attacked by monsters, they act like it's such a big loss, but the donation jar looks like it has $20 tops. Because that's what happens when you only invite high schoolers with no jobs.

(Come to think of it, they have a token rich friend. Did Fred not chip in? Does his dad not give him money? His mean girl sister was there. She has a crush on Tyler, why wouldn't she get Daddy to drop 10k on them to buy his love? Maybe then Tracy would have a reason to exist)

Anyway, they find random treasure and save the house, the end.

But this episode made me wonder how tf these kids can afford multiple underwater jet skis and diving equipment when they're apparently so broke. The dad is bad with money, so it kind of makes sense he would splurge on things they can't afford and slack on bills, but this never came up before. It's like the writers created the episode to answer a question no one had.

~~~~End Bank Episode Diversion~~~~

I lied.

The Bank Episode is a good example of a major flaw with the show: None of the supporting cast gets development.

We get moments that seem like it would be that way, like 16 year old Celia sorting through the bills while their father is flippant to the point of losing their house. Normally this would be a chance for Celia or Tyler to talk about how they've basically had to raise themselves, or show anger towards their dad. Give them some depth and maybe a bonding moment with another character, even easily wrap up the family conflict?

Instead we get slapstick and 2 minutes of what adults think tween tiktoks look like.

Merlinda is the main character, and she does get a lot of attention and development. She is such a well written lead for this kind of show. On top the the McGuffin plot, Merlinda has a subplot about finding out what happened to her mom that's much more tied into her emotional arc. We really see her grow in a way that's satisfying for what few episodes we got.

Too bad no one else got subplots!

They don't get subplots, they get love interests.

I'd honestly have been super cool with this! It's made to sell dolls, I can get behind them pairing people off like mashing Barbies together! But we don't even get that. We get hints that people like each other, but then they barely even talk?

Fred likes Celia (who's Fred? Don't worry about it. The show forgets he's their friend half the time), Celia might like Fred, but has an implied crush on a jock. Tracy is mean and likes Tyler, that's all she gets. Another jock has a crush on Nerissa, and I can get behind them because he fell for her when she judo flipped him

Honestly, same.

He's nice to her, she's indifferent, it otherwise goes nowhere. None of these relationships contribute anything. Most of them are barely there enough to be worth writing in. The girls go to high school, but then they never utilize the setting past one episode. They may as well have made it summer vacation. The reason it exists is purely an excuse to meet love interests.

(Notice Sasha is the only one without a love interest set up and she's the one that gets development. It's like they replaced character writing for two sentences of bad flirting)

Let's do something the show never does and make time for Fred. Fred is supposedly one of their best friends, but they only go to him when they need something for the plot. He and his mean girl sister Tracy don't get to be relevant until the last episode. Their DAD is the one with a subplot. We don't even get to see Fred's relationship with his dad before the resolution, that's how little care they gave Fred. I can tell you exactly 3 things about him: He's a tech genius, he has a crush on Celia, and he has a rich dad. These are all things we learn within seconds of meeting him, and we learn virtually nothing after that (Tracy's existence doesn't count as she's barely a character).

Celia gets some development, but it's subtle. It's not bad, it just feels like it's not much considering how little everyone else got. You'd think there'd be space for it.

The only other teen characters who arguably had story arcs were Merlinda's love interests. Tyler's was mostly as a love interest. Supporting Merlinda, teaching her about the surface, relating to her losing her mom, falling for her then struggling with the idea she'll inevitably return to the sea. He may have also become more responsible? Again, codine binge watch, cut me some slack.

But wait, I said love interests PLURAL? Well lucky day, now I finally get to talk about Alex!

Alex is best boy and I will hear no ill will against him. Alex is the token merman, and a late addition to the team.

He starts off as a friendly guard Nerissa jokes about being Merlinda's boyfriend (which she denies), but once they go to the surface and meet Tyler, I assumed he was a fakeout love interest who would remain a distant friend. So glad to be wrong!

Blaming himself for letting Merlinda put herself in danger when that's the literal opposite of his job, he comes up with a way to get past the horde of sea monsters between them and the surface to make sure she and the girls are okay. The gang comes across him injured, and he joins the household.

We haven't seen Alex and Merlinda truly interact until this point and their chemistry is so natural?

Don't get me wrong, Tyler and Merlinda do an adorable job as the couple just getting to know each other, especially when they're making jokes, but I was surprised how believable she and Alex were as two people who have known each other for years. He and Tyler have a macho pissing contest so annoying I had to stop the episode, but it doesn't last too long before they're bros.

Honestly, Alex is how Fred should have been written. Not in the story or design, just the fact all the girls are so happy to see him you can clearly tell they're friends who love each other and have known him a long time. He feels connected despite his absence.

Alex's arc is about his role as a guard, trying to redeem himself and assuage his guilt, but also trusting Merlinda enough to continue the mission instead of bringing her home like her dad wanted.

Tyler seems like the clear endgame given how much more screentime they've gotten, but their chemistry is kind of meh imo. (I am admittedly biased bc I don't like blonds. At least he has brown eyes.) When I liked them most was Tyler making a stupid joke and Merlinda immediately playing along, but we don't see much of that past episode 4.

The way they express how painful he finds the idea of her leaving is conveyed so well through the animation rather than dialogue, I really feel his pain. But it doesn't feel earned.

Keeping this as spoiler free as possible, the plotlines for the season wrapped up in a way that was overall satisfying. The villain's goal seemed vague and fairly cliche, but serviceable. The secondary villain was equally cliche, but much more of a threat, and set up to do more in the long term.

I'd be satisfied with Merlinda's story if they ended at season 1, but everyone else's stories are so obviously incomplete. Even if it gets a season 2 (which it should), what it really needed was more time. It's another victim of the netflix season, giving them 10 episodes to drop at once when they should have had 20 episodes spread over several weeks. By this point, though, that's to be expected, and they should have planned accordingly.

As much as the supporting characters' writing annoyed me, it was overall a really enjoyable show, with a great lead, good character design, and delightful fight scenes. Definitely keeping an eye out for season 2. Pop a few ibuprofen and enjoy!

Oct. 31st Everyone - Halloween Party

1,276 words

James was excited about this year’s Halloween party. Regulus had agreed to let it be held at their house as long as James cleaned everything up when they were done and nothing got broken. James promised and when he started to set everything up, he made sure to put anything that could be broken away in the office and locked the door. 

Once everything was safe and secure, James ran to the shops and picked up snacks and drinks for the party. He didn’t know what everybody wanted, so he just got a variety of drinks and all the snacks he could think of. There was going to be no excuse to not eat something to soak up the alcohol. James also set up the extra rooms in case people needed to crash at their house. He wasn’t going to let anybody drive home and he couldn’t be the sober driver tonight.

James was in the kitchen setting everything out when the first of the guests started to arrive. Naturally, it was Sirius and Remus. Regulus was still out with Pandora doing something that he refused to tell James about. 

“Prongs? What ya at?” Sirius hollered into the house.

“Kitchen.”

Sirius showed up in the kitchen a minute later with Remus right behind him shaking his head. 

“You know that you didn’t have to yell, Pads,” Remus replied as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“I know that Moony, but it’s more fun that way,” Sirius shrugged as he grabbed a handful of pretzels before James could swat his hand away.

“You’re lucky Reggie isn’t home yet, I don’t need a cranky husband before a party because his brother was being a dick,” James replied as he moved the pretzels before Sirius could grab anymore.

“Meh, Reggie needs to learn to let loose a little. He’s too wound up sometimes. Where is he anyway?”

“With Pandora.”

“Ah, well when is everybody else coming?”

“When they show up, I guess. I only mentioned a general start time,” James shrugged as he grabbed the plastic cups from the pantry. He wasn’t going to risk the glass ones.

James, Remus, and Sirius grabbed a drink and headed for the living room. Sitting on the couch and chatting before other people started to show up. Marlene came barging in the door twenty minutes later as if she was being chased by Micheal Myers from Halloween. Dorcas gently shut the door and went to the kitchen to grab a drink before meeting up with the boys in the living room. 

“See, Marls, you didn’t need to bust into the house like the Kool-Aid Man. It’s only these two idiots and Remus so far,” Dorcas said with a laugh.

“Hey!” James and Sirius exclaimed at the same time.

“I thought this was a Halloween party, James. Where’s your costume?” Marlene asked offended that she and Dorcas were the only ones dressed up. Marlene was Black Widow while Dorcas was the Scarlet Witch. 

“It’s in my bedroom. I was waiting for Reggie to get home,” James shrugged. “As for these two, you’d have to ask them.”

“Moooooony,” Sirius whined. “You said no one was dressing up this year.”

“Thanks a lot, Marls. If you hadn’t said anything, he wouldn’t have noticed,” Remus declared as he leveled her with his best glare.

“We need to go and change, right now.” Sirius stood up abruptly and tried to pull Remus up while James was trying not to laugh at his dramatics.

Remus had asked James not to get dressed up yet because he wanted to see if Sirius would noticed if other people had dressed up after he started drinking. He really didn’t want to dress up this year and James understood that since Regulus didn’t want to dress up either. Sirius dragged Remus home and while they were gone, more people started to show up and James turned on the music to get the party started.

Regulus came in with Pandora, Barty, and Evan about a half hour after the party really started. Pandora was dressed as a giant butterfly while Barty and Evan were bloody pirates. Why bloody pirates? James didn’t know but he also didn’t feel like asking either. Regulus wasn’t dressed yet and James knew that he was waiting until he came home to see if anybody else was in costume. 

“Why aren’t you dressed yet?” Regulus asked when he crossed the living room to where James was standing against the wall. 

“Was waiting for you, plus Remus wanted to see how long it took Sirius to notice if people had dressed up,” James shrugged nonchalantly.

“Did he?”

“No, Marlene pointed it out.”

“Of couse she did. Should we get dressed then?” Regulus asked and James could tell that he was hoping James said no.

“Might as well, everyone else is,” James said with a smirk and Regulus sighed in resignation.

“Fine.”

James and Regulus slipped out of the party and headed to their bedroom on the second floor just as Sirius and Remus returned to the party, now in their costumes and Remus did not look pleased. James was sure that once he and Regulus came back down then Remus and Regulus would hide in the corner and complain about having to get dressed up. 

“How do I look?” Regulus asked as he came out of the bathroom where he was fixing his hair.

“Gorgeous. Very royal,” James replied immediately as he took in Regulus costume. “How about me?”

“You look like you’re ready to take someone down at any moment,” Regulus laughed lightly.

“Well, I’m here to protect you, your highness.” James bowed and Regulus gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

“I approve.”

Regulus was dressed as a royal prince while James was his bodyguard. They made their way back down to the party and as expected Regulus grabbed a drink and found Remus by the wall glaring at people. Those two were not party people but indulged their husbands either way. James grabbed another drink from the kitchen and went to find Sirius who was with Marlene and Barty. Lily, Mary and Peter showed up at some point when James was upstairs and now the whole gang was there. 

“What are you supposed to be, Pads?” James asked when he got closer.

“A werewolf hunter.”

“Ah, and where is a werewolf?”

Sirius spun around until he found Remus by the wall with Regulus.

“Over there with your husband. Is Reggie dressed as a prince?”

“Yeah.”

“So that makes you his bodyguard?” Sirius asked slowly and James nodded. “Did he put up a fight about dressing up too?”

“Yeah, but I told him that he gets to kick out whoever he wants for whatever reason he wants to.”

“Doesn’t he do that anyway.” Sirius smirked and James nodded happily.

It was no surprise who ran this house and James was okay with that. The rest of the party went by like any other party. There was a costume contest which James and Regulus won and Sirius threw a fit. There was also a lot of drinking so almost everyone ended up staying the night. When James finally made it to bed, Regulus was already half asleep. James crawled into bed and Regulus curled into his side, lying his head on James’ chest.

“Is everything cleaned up?”

“Yeah, looks just like when you left to go hang out with Pandora. Did you have a good time?”

“It was alright,” Regulus said with a shrug and James could feel his smirk on his chest.

“You little shit,” James said affectionately. “I love you.”

“I love you too, Jamie.”

Remember your past life - Prince! Harry Hook x Chosen Knight!Reader - part 19 - Hateno

*note I’m trying to include the game mechanics because I can lol. such as inventory, paragliding, and teleporting*

=

You glanced down at Harry as you climbed the membrane-like ladder that connected the pillars of the sheikah towers. He paced back and forth, glancing up at you every other moment, the small egg-shaped anatomic thing (which they learned was called a guardian, thanks to the tablet) followed closely, the top on its head shooting up as it tried to talk to the worried pirate teen.

You sighed and turned to look back up towards the top of the tower, huffing as you leaped to the side and planted your foot on one of the platforms sticking out the side. You sighed in relief as you fully stepped on and shook your arms.

These things were too damn tall, and it was going to be hell trying to get down from them if they were at all like this one. You glanced to your right, grimacing at the thorns that covered the tower.

You rolled your shoulders and jumped back onto the tower wall, grunting as the top came in sight. You lept to the platform on your left to give your legs one more quick rest before starting your climb again.

Finally, you made it to the top, groaning as your legs thumped from overexertion, you had never climbed that much since….probably 500 years ago heh. You smirked at the dumb thought and unclipped the tablet from your hip and placed it in the pedestal. You felt the wind from the activating tower as the blue glow surrounded you. You heard the mechanics on top of the tower lift and set in place.

The stone above the pedestal glowed and trailed down until a drop of blue “liquid” splashed on the tablet and downloaded the area map onto it. You picked it up and nodded to yourself as you looked over the map, to the right of the tower seemed to be where you were heading next. Hateno Village.

You looked up and to the right, nodding as you spotted the village from the top of the tower. Shouldn’t be more than a ten-minute ride at most.

You clipped the tablet back on your hip and overlooked the area around you before walking to the edge and looking down at where harry and the mini guardian were. Both of them looked back up at you, Harry’s arms crossed as his foot tapped on the ground.

You backed up and started for the openings, you jumped as the tablet suddenly started sounding off. You unclipped it and rose your brow. “what is this?“ you muttered to yourself, eyes widening as you scrolled through the empty slots of…inventory? That’s what the top of the screen said it was at least. The first block had a picture of the sword on your back, the next had your bow, and then your shield. It looked there was also a slot for the random items you were hauling along, and….a whole ass paraglider? What?

You tapped on the picture of the paraglider and rose your brows at the description.

An item you received from the king on the great plateau, it allows you to sail through the sky. Bring it forth from the sheikah inventory to use it.

“bring it forth?” you muttered, well the sheikah slate was probably thousands of years old, the old type of speaking was probably normal for…its time? Welp, no time like the present to try it out and scare the living daylights of out Harry!

You clipped the tablet on your hip again and took a couple steps back from the ledge, taking a deep breath to calm your nerves, and ran forward. You jumped off the ledge, hearing Harry's yelp of terror and the little guardian's high-pitched screech as they watched you plummet towards the ground.

You tapped the tablet on your hip and brought your hands up after it, a bright blue untouchable substance following your hands and forming a glider above you. It caught you mid-air about 20 feet above Harry and the little guardian.

Harry dropped to a crouch, holding his face in his hands “HOLY SHIT LASS DON’ DO THA’ TA ME!” he cried, peeking back up at you through his fingers “yeh scared meh half ta death!”

You gave a sheepish smile and hit the ground with a light thud. You jumped back as the little guardian started to scream at you, pointing one of its little claws at you accusingly and jumping in your face.

“um- ah!” as you backed away it followed you, continuing to seemingly tell you off.

Harry snorted as he watched the thing chase you around and screech, with you trying to calm it and avoid it headbutting you.

You rubbed the back of your head and glanced back at Harry. “uh, sorry bout that, OH! I have something to show you!” you unclipped the tablet and shoved it in his hands. He rose his brow at you and held the tablet limply in his hands. You rolled your eyes and pointing at the top right button. He sighed and pressed it, eyes widening as he finally looked at the “inventory”

“huh” he muttered, swiping through the screens and beginning to mess with the buttons. “that’s cool, so this...allows us to keep more on us than normal?”

“I guess so? I mean, look” you leaned over to look at the screen, pointing at the slots for his weapons “you have one sword right now, and then there's four more slots, and I’m guessing we can summon the other weapons we have to us from it, doesn't tell us how to put em in or retrieve them though.” Harry shrugged, clipping the tablet to your hip and walking towards mercury. “eh, we’ll figure it out when we need ta’ that’s how yeh figured out that paraglider thing righ’?”

“yep, we could also go to the scientist girl Regina told us about, Purah, I think her name was” you chirped, climbing on (H/N) and snapping his reins to lead him towards Hateno “come on, we got daytime burning. Let's go little guy!” the little guardian chirped and ran after you and harry, its gears in high motion as it kept pace with your cantering horses.

Less than two minutes later you had arrived at Hateno. ‘looks like ten minutes was a bit much’ you thought, turning in your saddle to look around at the village.

A clothing store, general store, a…dye shop? And an inn near the end of the main path. ‘good, we’ll have a place to sleep’ you nodded to yourself, you gestured for Harry to follow you and headed towards the Inn, sliding off your saddle and setting (H/N) into the small stable. Harry set mercury next to you and sighed, setting his hands on his hips and letting out a low whistle.

“quaint town isn’t it?” he wondered aloud, following you as you walked back to the clothing store.

“I guess” you hummed, pushing open the door and glancing around the small shop. Your eyes drew towards the set at the front.

A red tunic with leather armor on the arms and chest, connecting to the left shoulder, tan pants, and a dark blue hood/cape.

You walked up to it and looked over the price, nodding to yourself as you un-did your money bag from your hip and looked towards the woman overlooking the shop.

“excuse me?” the woman jumped at your sudden voice and spun around to look at you, her hand over her chest “sorry, I would like to buy the set of leather armor please”

“I-“ she let out a breathy laugh, shaking her head “yes, of course, I’ll need his size though, that particular set” she glanced at Harry, her eyes traveling the length of his body “will not fit him”

Harry rubbed the back of his head as he shuffled through his brain files, remembering Evie's measurement mumbling from when she made his first set of clothes.

He relayed it and the woman nodded, walking to the back and grabbing what she needed. You and Harry simply stood and awkwardly stayed quiet as the woman shuffled around the back. “I haven’t seen the two of you before!” she called, her head peeking out from the door “where ya two from?”

“um, nowhere in particular?” you shrugged, smiling as she simply nodded.

“I getcha, don’t worry, I’m not the nosy type, but may I ask why you’re in Hateno?” she emerged fully from the back and handed harry a pile of clothes, the leather cuffs and armor resting on top, then handing him a pair of tall brown boots.

“we’re looking for a woman named Purah, we need to talk to her” the woman nodded and turned to write down some numbers on a notepad.

“you’ll find her at the top of the hill directly east from the door, hard to miss” you nodded and took out the amount of pay the woman had given you for the clothes and carefully placed them into her hand. “thank you, if you wish you can change in that room right there” the woman pointed behind harry to an empty room. Harry sighed and nodded, walking towards the room, the little guardian close behind.

“I’ll be in the general store okay?” you called, nodding as Harry waved his hand at you in dismissal.

You walked out of the clothing shop and across the path to the general store, you pushed open the door and looked around. To your right was a bunch of arrows and….bomb arrows? They looked to be arrows with a packed cloth on top of them.

You brushed it off and looked to the left, nodding to yourself as you overlooked the food stock.

“welcome! You buyin’ or sellin’ “ the shop owner asked, his beady eyes staring directly at you.

“buying” you muttered, walking over to the food and grabbing a couple handfuls of everything, setting them on the counter, and pulling your money bag back out.

“Alright then….that’ll be, 96 rupees” you nodded and quickly pulled the amount out, setting it in the man's hand. He poured the money into a drawer and bagged your items, passing them off to you and heading to the back to stock what you had purchased.

You muttered out ‘thanks’ to the man and walked out of the store, looking around for anything of interest. Your eyes caught a flash of red and blue as Harry exited the clothing shop, the little guardian running towards you as it sang and pointed back at Harry.

You smirked, realizing what it was trying to say “yes he does look good” Harry turned red and puffed his cheeks, looking into his shoulder “alright come on, let's go put this with the horses and go see Purah” Harry sighed and nodded, taking the lead and walking towards the horses.

A few moments of struggling to put everything away to where it wouldn’t comically bulge out of the bags later, you and Harry were off to see the sheikah scientist.

You snorted as you looked back at the huffing and puffing Harry, who was a good 15 feet behind you on the steep hill. You stood still as you waited for him to catch up, glancing down at the little guardian who chirped and sang at harry. “I’m comin’ I’m comin’” he breathed out, giving the thing a slight glare “how are yeh not bothered by all this lass?”

You laughed and shrugged “I guess my body is used to all of it even after more than a century in that chamber thing” Harry rolled his eyes at you, finally catching up and leaning over to catch his breath.

“I guess so….that’s still so fuckin weird by the way” you rolled your eyes back at him and harshly patted his back, sending him forward on his feet a bit.

“Yeah yeah, you’ve mentioned that about a thousand times, let’s go” Harry groaned and looked up, the two of you still had a bit to go, but he just huffed and continued after you, groaning again as the little guardian easily kept pace with you and even walking circles around you.

There were a couple of times where you would have to stop again and wait for harry to catch up, and he was thankful you had never audibly teased him about it, he guessed his old self…..Prince Harry had been able to keep up with her but as the person, he was now, completely unused to walking uphill for such a long time, of course, he would be falling behind a lot.

He also guessed the more the two got further into their journey he would soon be easily able to keep pace but for now, he would be falling behind with her stopping for him.

He would keep the fact that he liked the way she would always notice when he fell behind, she always had her mind on him, always kept track of him.

It helped him feel safe, wanted.

Finally, you had arrived at the lab, you looked up at the tall tower that possibly made up the main house, while the larger square-shaped house below it made for the lab. You and Harry glanced at each other and shrugged, you walked up and pushed open the doors.

A smaller child, with a tan dress with red lines, whirled around to look at you, her eyes wide as she looked at the two-three of you behind her glasses. “(y/n)?!” she screeched, eyes trailing to harry as she leaped off her chair and into the air “Prince Harry!?! You’re awake?! You’re here?! How?!” she ran toward you and pulled you down by your sheath and examined your face, her amber eyes flashing around. “amazing, it looked like the shrine hasn’t aged you a single day! Heck, even more like you look younger than you did! And you!” she turned, grinning up at the extremely confused harry, and pointed up at him “you’re supposed to be in the castle! Did you do it! Defeat the dark one?!”

“um-I’m, uh” Harry stuttered, hands wringing together, you stepped in front of him, arm out to shield him.

“the prince's soul split into two, this is a different person than the prince you knew” Purah gasped and took out her note pad, muttering herself as she scrawled something down.

“interesting interesting~” she glanced back up at the two of you and blanched, throwing the notepad on the table behind her “sorry! I have a bad habit of taking notes at inappropriate times! Now how’ya been (y/nny)!” you just stared at her with furrowed brows, her brows rose and her eyes widened. “what's with that face? Do-do you not remember me?”

You shuffled in place, shrugging your shoulders as you shook your head “um, no, sorry, I hardly remember anything from…back then, Harrys the same way, we’ve picked up a few things but everything's pretty much blank about all this stuff” Purah nodded and grabbed the sheikah slate from your waist.

“Alright then, I’ll keep my explanations short! And hello Terrako!” she patted the little guardian's head and beamed. “nice to see you! I thought you were still in the castle in the prince's study!” the little guardian, Terrako as it just was named, started spouting off with a melody of notes and whistles, the scientist nodding along and humming “my my, so you heard the princes voice and ran to look for him? Well, I think you succeeded” Purah laughed, glancing up at harry who rose his brow.

“Yeh can understand it?” Purah shrugged. “not personally, but~” she turned the tablet towards you and harry, where a good paragraph had been written down. “the tablet can translate what he says!” “he?” you echoed, crossing your arms.

“yep, he!” Purah chirped, walking over to a pedestal and a long stone that hung from her ceiling “anyway, I’ll be checking on this thing for a minute, and while we wait, Symin!” an older man in the corner of the room, near all the books turned, smiling at your odd group “could you please make us some tea?”

“of course,” he hummed, setting down his book on a small table near him and walking out the door to his left, presumably to the kitchen.

“Now we wait! And while we wait, you two are gonna tell what’s happened during your time awake!” you and harry shared a glance, sighed, and decided to just give her the bare minimum of information of your recent lives, at least on Harry's side, who didn’t want to talk about his life on the isle.

Purah’s eyes sparkled as Harry started, her hands twitching every few moments. Something told you it was going to be a long night of explaining.

Reading One Piece pt 166: Chopper Says Pick A God And Pray

Chapters 405-408

Thoughts:

- There’s a color page. God, why is there a color page. I saw a comic with Straw Hats in these costumes and thought “Why would anyone create such abomination?” And now I have Oda to blame for it. Why, Oda, why

- Damn it, stay DOWN, Spoiler Guy

- Ah, now we got that owl reference

- Lol

- How in the name of seven did they get into the water

- Chopper really can’t help here

- He hears sounds

- “No way, did he open the fridge door!?” what did you expect would happen, Chopper

- Now Franky and Spoiler Guy are fighting in the water

- …ok, so Spoiler Guy can fly? Is that what I’m seeing?

- Yup

- Listen, how long will that fight be. Stop flirting and finish it already, you two

- Fpos/cs: “Transform into “Princess”, “Painter” and “Paula of the bar””! aww, go follow your dreams, ladies. Guys, guess which one’s a princess

- What is this nonsense

- FINALLY, Spoiler Guy is DOWN FOR GOOD. Take his key, Franky

- Meanwhile, Zoro and Usopp…

- …well, they’ll working on their cardio, that’s for sure

- CP9 is arguing in the back

- …Zoro. Zoro, no.

- DO NOT CUT OFF ANY LIMBS YOU HEAR ME!!!!

- No, wait, he has another idea. I’m a little scared to hear it, to be honest

- “YOU’RE NOW… A SWORD!” “Get me a lawyer” ahkfgGhfhhdJChf oh my god

- In the kitchen, Chopper worries about Hairy Samurai’s metabolism

- What is happening here

- …Looks like Chopper will have to take his special drugs to defeat that guy and he’s not happy cause it will wreck his body. Drugs are bad, kids

- He will take them. He didn’t say that yet but when three pages ago Zoro contemplated sewing his hand off the future is predictable. What kind of role models, Oda

- Fpos/cs: “Chocolade Lady, Fireman, Pizza Delivery Man and Tank” aww pt 2! If you’re wondering who’s the Tank, it’s the dog

- They destroyed that kitchen

- Chopper is desperate, poor guy. YOU CAN AND WILL DECK THAT GUY, YOU BRAVE REINDEER

- Oh, we’re getting flashback! Doctorine’s here to yell at little Chopper!

- “He’s gonna kill me” NO HE WON’T

- Hah

- WHAT THE HELL

- BOIIIIIIIII

- OUR CHOPPER’S AN ELDRITCH MONSTER NOW!!!!

- Franky got the key. It’s a wrong one, but it’s a key

- Meanwhile…

- No, excuse me, why is Kalifa taking a bath. What the hell

- Oh, Nami fought her already and lost I assume. So Kalifa went to take a bath

- …no, it still doesn’t make sense, what is CP9

- “What’d did you do to me!?” oh right, we still don’t know Kalifa’s new power

- (it’s still a fanservice to end all fanservice :D )

- Oh look, Nami stood up and hit Kalifa with thunderbolt. You go, Nami!

- Fpos/cs: “Pirate King and Hero” …huh. That spell has a very wide range. Follow your dreams, Mr.1. Crocodile, your dream is doomed, find a new one (lol, his face)

- Meh, that did nothing

- Ah, Kalifa’s a Soap Woman now! She can create bubbles from any part of her body! Better power than giraffe, that’s for sure

- “Wah, she’s so sexy! If she were my secretary, I’d be happy! …WAIT, I’M NOT A MAN!!” either you were possessed by Sanji’s spirit or you’re at least bi, Nami. Those are your only options. I would go with bisexuality if I were you

- “The bubbles I diffuse from my body can remove anything.” Oh shit, that bad

- What am I watching

- Ah, that’s how she make people shiny

- (Sanji… what did you let her do)

- Yes, yes, please let’s go back to our Eldritch Monster  

- Ahahahaha

- Goodbye, Hairy Samurai, I never liked your speeches

- …

 - …Jesus

- Oh no, Chopper lost his senses

- Meanwhile, Spandam still didn’t get to The Gate of Justice

- I like Spandam’s cape. It looks really good with his elephant sword. Man knows how to accessorize

- Oho, this time they all heard it! Luffy’s coming!

- “Chief, please keep going… and take Nico Robin with you” ha, I knew Lucci wanted that fight

- Yeah!

Luffy and Lucci meet again!

A Whole New World Prelude Pt 2

Well looks like I'm being snuck into their high school. What was it called again? Serpent Prep. Something like that. This was weird. A school full of witches, pirates, and such. Well I guess if I'm gonna be a pirate I have to go to their school.

Harry held my wrist as he struts towards the doors, dodging other students and keeping me behind him, Uma at my other side, glaring at those who yelled at Harry for bumping into them.

“Harry” Uma called, he hummed to show he was listening, “What's your first class?” Uma was looking down at her timesheet, seeing accelerated piracy first, Harry stopped and pulled out his timesheet, seeing chartering and navigations.

“Alright, who is {y/n} going ta go with?” Harry asked, glancing back at Uma, I glanced between them, shuffling my feet awkwardly.

I felt an unfamiliar hand sneaking around my waist, forcefully pulling me away from Uma and Harry. 

"Hey good lookin, haven't seen you around here. Where have you been hiding?" A dark skinned boy questioned.

Before I could say anything, Harry had his grip on my wrist, pulling me behind him and pointing his hook at the boy's throat.

"Back off Max. She's apart of my crew!" Uma spat at the boy. They looked very similar, both having teal hair in box braids. Though Max wore purple and black instead of the teal and purple Uma wore.

Hmm. Wait I think Max might be Morgana's son. So then Uma and Max are cousins. Interesting.

Max tsked and walked away. I gripped the back of Harry's jacket, not really certain I could fit in at this High School. Harry and Uma exchanged a look before Harry picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, causing me to squeak in surprise.

"Come on, {y/n} we gotta get ye to the head office. Ye gotta sign up for some classes." Harry stated in a matter of fact tone.

I buried my face in Harry's back as he carried me like a sack of potatoes. Of course I forgot I had a hat on, so good thing Uma was following behind, she grabbed it as it fell off my head and started whistling a pirate tune.

This was indeed going to be the longest day of my life. Reaching what I assume is the principal's office, Harry dropped me on my ass. And no I'm not fine.

"Ow!" I groaned, standing back up and doing my best glare at Harry.

"Oh? Whoooo do we have here?" A snake like voice questioned from behind me.

I turned around and came face to face with a man with green scales across the entirety of the right side of his face. And that eye was a snake eye. He made a hissing type noise and I gulped when I noticed his snake tongue.

"This is {y/n} {l/n}. She's new. She fell out of the sky" Uma bluntly explained, as I tried to look anywhere but his eyes.

"Oh? Sssssshe fell from the sssssky? Interssssting. Well I'm Kaa. I'm the principal of thissssss sssssschool." Kaa introduced, taking off his hat to give a slight bow.

"N-Nice to meet you. But wait the Kaa I remember is a snake…" I stated outloud.

Kaa smirked and a puff of smoke had me coughing like crazy. The feeling of a snake wrapping around me had me screaming and running behind Harry. Harry and Uma were laughing at me. I took a peek out from behind Harry to see Kaa in his snake form chuckling. Another puff of smoke and he was back where he was standing. 

"Now my only concern issssss that ssssshe can't take any of our advanced classssssssessssss. Maybe I'll put her in sssssssome of the beginning classssssesssssss." Kaa explained walking over to his desk.

"Principal Kaa, she needs to stay in a class that either Uma, Gil, or I are in." Harry explained, holding out his hook. 

I stayed behind Harry, my shaking hand still gripped on his jacket. Yes I was still scared. So sue me!

So in the end I had three classes with Harry, two with Uma, and one with Gil. Do I remember all of them? No. But that's why I had a schedule in my hand and six books in my arms.

Ok so first class is with Harry. Chartering and Navigations. Ok, a good pirate type of class. Is that THE Boot Strap Bill teaching this class??? Oh my gosh! Ok stop fangirling and focus.

I took a seat next to Harry and pulled out my book. Harry snorted a bit, causing me to look at him questioningly. 

"What?"

"Ye aren't meant to actually take notes lass. This is a villain school." Harry stated pushing my books off my desk. I frowned and picked them up. 

"Well I enjoy learning." I stated matter a factly 

Harry chuckled. "Nerd." He spat, folding up some paper and making a paper football and flicking it at another student's head.

I rolled my eyes as class began. 

"Alright, class. Who can tell me how to navigate through the sea at night?" Bootstrap Bill asked. 

I looked around, seeing nobody was bothering to answer the question, turning to Harry I whispered “are we supposed to raise our hand” Harry snorted, shaking his head.

“Nah, that’s for the Boradon classes” nodding I turned back forward.

“Sextants” I called out, making Harry turn to me with wide eyes. Bootstrap nodded, looking at me curiously.

“Aye, that’s one of the ways, but there is one more?” he gestured to me, seemingly asking me to continue.

“The stars” I answered, grinning as Bootstrap nodded. Harry appeared in my vision, a curious grin on his face.

“How’d yeh know that lassie?” Harry asked, surprised.

I smirked. "I was really big into pirates as a kid."

"Though because of that a lot of the kids around me thought I was too weird to hang around with, so, no one to play sword with," I explained. 

"Well we are gonna have ta change that." Harry smirked.

The rest of class flew by, and the next thing I knew, Harry was gripping my wrist and pulling me off in another direction.

"Where are we going?" I asked as I was basically dragged by Harry.

Harry didn't respond, just used his hook, which was in his right hand, to threaten anyone who tried to get in his way. After a while he stopped in front of two big doors.

"Here we are!" He smirked, opening the doors to reveal a gym.

But instead of what you would expect in a normal gym, aka people running around, climbing a rope, sit ups, push ups etc, there were people sword-fighting, practicing their thievery, aka villain stuff. Oh and apparently parkour.

"Time fer yer first sword fightin' lesson!" 

I went wide-eyed as Harry dragged me towards where multiple people were sword fighting, Harry guided me to a mat, then left to grab equipment. I stood awkwardly as I watched the battles around me, some of them glanced at me, scanning my body before turning back to their battles.

I hugged myself, wishing I could hide. Suddenly a sword was pointed at my throat. Glancing to where it was coming from, I saw a girl with blood-red hair and heart-themed makeup, and a heart crystal-encrusted crown on her head, daughter of the red queen I'm guessing.

“You” she spoke in a posh voice “you came in with Harry, what are you to him?” I shook my head slightly, backing away into a brick wall.

Or what I thought was a brick wall “hey Quinn! This is (y/n), she’s our newest recruit in the crew!” Gil, it was Gil, placing his hands on my shoulders and creating a protective bubble around me. Quinn huffed, flipping her sword, and walking off.

I released the breath I hadn't realized I was holding in. Looking up at Gil, I gave a smile. 

"Thanks Gil! I thought she might kill me for a moment there." I explained.

"Oh don't worry! I doubt that!" Gil exclaimed before walking away.

I took a sigh of relief before examining my surroundings some more.

I stiffened as a blade was pointed at my back. Every bone in my body was fighting between fighting back and fleeing. And for some reason my brain went into adrenaline mode. I quickly turned around, grabbed the sword blade in my hands and yanked the blade away from whoever had it. A scream echoed in my head, my brain took way too long to realize I was screaming, and I had huge cuts on both palms, and they were bleeding.

Harry was in front of me, he was saying something but I'm not sure what he's saying. Oh look Gil's here too.

"Quiet down! You're drawin too much attention!" Harry exclaimed once I was finally able to hear him.

I stopped screaming but started whimpering, my palms really hurt and were still bleeding. Harry groaned and took a bandana off his belt and tied it around my right hand, then he grabbed a bandana from Gil's belt and tied it around my other hand.

"There. Now come on, time to head to the ship." Harry stated, standing up only to have Quinn point a sword at him.

"What is she to you? Why did you help her?" Quinn stated with a nasty tone, as if she was entitled to the answer. 

Harry sighed, clearly annoyed by her. "Quinn, she's the newest member of Uma's crew. And she got hurt. Uma would've had my head if I didn't help her. Now excuse us but we've gotta go." Harry stated, using his hook to push the sword away.

He started to walk away only to stop and grab his sword. Quickly turning around he blocked Quinn's attack.

I squeaked and hid behind Gil as Harry and Quinn fought. The students gathered around and began rooting on either Harry or Quinn. The cheering got me to slowly come out from behind Gil, who was obviously cheering on Harry.

I smiled. "GO HARRY!!! KICK HER ASS!!!" I cheered on with a smile.

I saw Harry smirk as he began to do even better, throwing Quinn off. Gil leaned down towards me.

"Harry and Quinn fight a lot. But usually they're equal in strength. I've never seen Harry out match her." Gil explained to me.

I felt my face start to heat up. A loud thunk and the room went quiet. I looked back at the fight and Quinn was on the floor, sword kicked away, with Harry pointing a sword at her. I held my breath. 

"Obviously I won't kill ye. But have this for meh first victory." Harry explained, and gave her a decent cut on her cheek.

Yep that will definitely leave a scar.

Harry re-sheathed his sword and walked back towards me and Gil. Grabbing my wrist, not as tightly as he had before, he pulled me out of the gym.

"Let's go (y/n), come on Gil!" Harry exclaimed as we left the gym.

As soon as we stepped out of the gym, the sound of heavy sword fighting began in the gym. 

Harry paid it no mind, students making a path for us with no questions asked. That is until we reached Bonnie,  I believe that's his name. Harr told Bonnie what was going on, he nodded, and ran off. I raised my eyebrow as Harry pulled me out of the school.

“Harry…. Where are we going?” I  asked, a bit confused.

“To mah place. We gotta fix yer hands so ye can learn to fight.” Harry stated, dragging me up a flight of stairs, Gil following close behind.

Entering into a slightly shabby apartment I was pulled inside and shoved towards the ripped up couch.

“Sit.”

I did as I was told, looking around the room. Scratch marks, Hook marks, red splotches, dirt, water stains, and just an overall mess was all I could see of the living room. And what was that smell? 

“Gimme yer hands {y/n}!” Harry exclaimed roughly grabbing my hands and unwrapping the cloths from my palms. 

I winced as the fabric was ripped off my cuts. Harry said something to Gil and all of a sudden I had a towel shovel between my teeth and what I assume was alcohol was poured on my left hand. I screamed into the towel from the stinging pain.

Gil looked concerned. “Harry maybe we should get the only doctor and have him fix her hands.” Gil explained, and I could just go wide-eyed. 

Doctor? NONONONONO. Last time I saw a doctor my mother was trying to get them to- nope not going through that horrible memory again.

“WE ain’t got time! Hand me the needle and thread!” Harry exclaimed.

Oh…. he’s gunna stitch me up, why is the world going black?

“{y/n}!”

Harry's voice faded to the back of my mind, sound dimming around me as I blacked out.

[electronicdelusionstarlight]

FINALLY managed to "fix" my problem, had to update the AMD Drivers apparently (???).

Game is running smoothly now, BUT the computer's fan is now kinda going to town on him, gaining its charateristic loud noise + burning temperature combo.

Had this been winter I wouldn't mind, I've spent many a year using my computer as free heating, but it's almost summer, I'll have yo counteract the effect with my AC now...

As a side note, finally started Legacy of the Dragonborn, started is a big word tho, I just got the ring(s) at Silent Moon Camp, the elemental defenses obe is kinda meh, but the Transmutation one is pretty good with my character for now, with the magicka and magicka regen buff.

Playing as Veronique Gawain (Which is, technically, a Breton Name? Mostly done to test the Lucien standard names, and guess what, he DOES call me Veronique at times!), Witch (obviously, only magic characters in my Skyrim).

She's distantly related of the current queen of Wayrest, the one we meet in TES Legends and we help ascend to the throne.

Her mother is the 3rd daughter of a noble currently going against King Barynia of Wayrest (Also from TES Legends), but is also his 4th cousin twice removed, and was particularly strict with his 4 daughters, trying to locate them onto advantageous positions within Wayrest and High Rock society.

Of the 4 daughters, the second ended up becoming a high ranking member of the Bretony Church, fighting tooth and nail against Barynia attempt to imperialize the faith via the Corrupt Order of the Hour. Watch out for her, she's important later.

Veronique's mother was supposed to marry into a political ally's family, to strenghten their bonds, but is not really into all this political intrigue thing, she'd be happier if they left her alone with her books and sone magic, trying to get back the arts that have been lost to time and the oblivion crisis...

But her father is a dick so she has to marry some dude, and Veronique's Mother, Armida the name, is still bummed about it, but thinks of a surefire way to get out of the whole deal.

So, Armida is weird, she's a weirdo, have you ever seen her without that stupid familiar on her shoulder? No. She also has, like, no friends, because she doesn't really have the time for it, too busy mixing potions and summoning dremoras and wondering why is their face so black Compared to their whole body.

Anyway, since noble life is a burden, and despite the fact she's gona miss her sisters, she decides to fake her death. She goes in the garden to "pick flowers," and prepares her death with a dusfigured body and some blood, skipping kingdom into Daggerfall.

There, she lives in peace for a couple years, even meets a kind young man, a classic Girl meets Ork tale, they become friends, her second friend after her wretched crow, much later she gives a try at the whole married life with him, she mostly appreciate the fact he seems completely fine with her hectic work hours and shit, it all goes fibe untill some of her father's men from Wayrest come into town and recognize her.

They assume the orc kidnapped her, so gather some racist bretons and the town guard, go to their witch cottage in the woods, break down the door in the night and set fire to it. Classic shit, Ork dies trying to stop them, never much for fighting or getting angry, Armida is brought back kicking and screaming to Wayrest, realizing later on she ended up gettinv pregnant by some weird twist of fate.

Her father expects her to get back into the old political intrigue life, but she doesn't, the taste of freedom too strong now, and not wanting for her daughter to become just another pawn, so she opens a portal to the Ashpit, as you do, PREGANANT to quote the sacred texts, and DEMANDS her hisband back to Malacath.

Malacath, god of outcasts, goes "Oh, Okay, sure, fine by me, I'm too old for this shit."

So, the Orc becomes the Green Knight, a spectral green knight guarding Armida for eternity, bond by undying devotion, and who gets pegged. He tears her father in half, her eldest sister becomes head of the household, poisons her own political husband, and takes control of the situation.

She gives free rein to Armida and her spectral husbando, who just locks up in her new mage tower and doesn't disturb anyone. They have Veronique, who is spoiled rotten by her grandmother, aunts and parents, and lives a long and happy childhood.

They survive the Pirate Attack of 4E 188 seemingly unscathed, the Order of the Hour and the Dark Brotherhood failing as a result, leaving the Bretony Chantry to fulfill the power vacuum. Veronique is interested in magic like her mother, but she has s passion for religion and lore, the tales of the knights, their ancestors, elven and men, their histories.

Most of all, she wants to live their adventures. She, much like Lucien, is a Nerd seeking answers away from home, seeking what their ancestors never managed to find, seeking...

The much fabled Grail of Bretony (Imperious Races Mod). Their ancestors died trying to bring the Grail back to Wayrest, but she will succeed where they failed.

Tales of its location have begun to crop up. Most of them indicate Skyrim, a province rich with unexplored ruins and deep lore, artifacts and myths, forgotten and cosmological magic, of ghosts and automatons...

The Second Sister, her favorite aunt, priestess of Mara, is however the only one who knows this. The family, her parents, only know she's going to Skyrim on a pilgrimage, to visit the temples of the 3 chief dieties of Northern Mythology, Kyne, Dibella and Mara, to get in touch with her human roots or some shit.

Her Aunt, however, is helping her in her quest. She will be escorted to Riften, to the temple of Mara, to get directions on how to acquire her favour, and where her escort will conveniently lose sight of her. Lady Mara has given her aunt a vision of a blue khajiit, hiding nearby, that will give his life for hers, a good, faithful bodyguard in her travels, and some lead on the position of the grail, sonewhere in Falkreath Hold, suggesting to check on the local tavern for clues.

There she meets Inigo, Lucien, and news of a museum, opening up in Solitude, seeking treasure hunters and explorers, the perfect way to gain some coin and have an excuse to seek out ancient artifacts and knoweledge...

But seeling knoweledge open many a door in someone's inner mind, and her relationship with the gods has always been... academical at best, so, when she started finding pages of strange books, peppered on the corpses of those who wish her harm, as forbidden knoweledge starts flooding her mind, she wonders nust who might be responsible for this, the sudden desire to snatch people bones and turn them into soldiers growing stronger...

And Herma-Mora waits, secure in his new, fallen disciple, and her skill in finding a way to get to him.

Also her mother bastard familiar is there for some reason, maybe she knew her daughter better than anyone and knee she was up to something, she doesn't mind even if her talons are kinda digging onto the flesh of her shoulder through her robes, BUT she helped her find her own familiar!

A specteal, demonic dog called Styx, a puppy, ready to grow into her own fierce protector, abandoned by her old master near the Lady's stone, another step in her journey.

(From Falkreath, she has gathered 4 doomstones where near, Lady and the 3 Guardians, and she assumed the Grail, given the historical importance of the sites, might be located near any of the 13 doomstones. She finds her Familiar and a Dilapidated old temple with some daedric and aedric altars instead).

[pwnyta]

Nobody ASKED for any of my shitty Pokemon character doodles... BUT IM IN A MOOD.

SO yall have to deal with it.

This is under a read more so dont come at me about it being annoyingly long. Blame Dumblr. Theres a SHIT TON OF DOODLES UNDER THE CUT.

First off I wanted to give Holly a whole classroom of friends... it wasnt GONNA be an all girls school... but I kept crankin of little girly Mons....

I dont actually have a shiny Darumaka or Eevee... but theyre two of my favorite shinies...

I drew these four after so theyre a bit different in style. Shiny Swirlex has the same excuse as the other two shinies... I just love the shiny colors

They also needed a teacher so I repurposed one of my older characters because I thought itd be funny to have a swan teacher... cuz swans are so scary but they care for their babies well.

Darla and Delilah can be bothered with threats because theyre safe with Mr Shandra.

Mikhail only takes classes that are small enough to fit under his wingspan so he can keep them all safe. And Eva and Tiffany learn from the best and just get pissed off like their teacher.

((Hes more bark than bite though... hes not a great fighter and a double weakness to Electric? Garbo. But he puts up a convincing enough front.))

And because he was a swan I gave him a life mate. The only other being that gets any softness from him.

He was an ex pirate.

Mikhail has no interest in criminals!!! So the captain gave up the pirate life and married a very short tempered bird and gained a lot of weight...because I wanted him chubby.

---

‘’Spider’’, Esi, and dear ol Dad. Despite Reds best efforts to keep Esi out of Osborns hands he still ended up an immensely shady bastard but at least hes not as broken as ‘’Spider’’.

I didnt finish their moms because I couldnt settle on a design for Spiders mum....

Now Spider works for Caedere his beloved boss who would never ever lie to him ever. (Hint: Spiders nature is ‘naive’)

---

I tried revamping Ray and Hebanon...  but Ray still gay as hell for his boy.

I bullied Sparky a little. He’ll probably be fine even if Rays got a Mega evo. Its the name of the game Ray... hes supposed to knock his opponent out... you cant get pissed when ever Hebanon gets fucked up in battle.

---

Did I post these? Am I ever gonna finish these character sheets? No. And look I forgot the most pressing detail of Zippos and thats his fuckin Arbok mark on his back. IM A FOOL.

Kreetan and his mum and dad.

So many little comic things I’ll never finish because theres too many and instead of just stopping and finishing something I keep adding to my unfinished doodles instead. This is why I dont take requests or anything.

I time where Leif and Cyndy actually grow up?

THEY ALL HAVE CAT EARS.

Zippo is curious.

.....AS A CAT.

Polly is here too!! And shes ready to punch someone RIGHT IN THE NOODLE.

I also thought itd be nice to draw out some other Chars of Zippo and Crizs generation.

Theyre.. as you may have guessed are not finished yet.

Clem is a timid lad, Mira... not so much. Very brave

Addy is a modest princess type

Jubilee is a sassy lass.

And Criz. A sweet bashful boy whos never done anything wrong and certainly will not die because no one would be cruel enough to let that happen.

((EYES EMOJI))

Babby Clem, Addy, and Jubilee.

WHO’RE THESE ASSHOLES?!

---

Updated Mistletoe. One spooky righteous(in his own mind) lad.

She only looks stoic to start... but shes quite the weirdo.

She just got here and shes ready to go home. What a mood.

Now for some less polished individuals....

Meh meh meh lookit me IM OMI. Im gonna put three of the exact same Pokemon in the same group so Pwnyta has to suffer tryna come up with different designs.

...But I do like them. I imagine that they remain Ekans because they wont need the mark of their tribe so no one will no where they come from. So spooky.

I was torn between the codename ‘Sundown‘ and ‘Daybreak‘ for Crobat.

By day hes a wholesome trustworthy priest... by night he tortures people for a shady shady bug man. He’ll determine if youre truly innocent.

Doc has to deal with all these fuckin weirdos... he just wants to be a doctor... BUT AT WHAT COST DOC?!

This is a sequel to the doodle comic I was makin in a previous post... Kop and Doc develop an interesting friendship (In Kops mind. Its more a ‘stalker with a crush’ situation) But hey if Kops not being paid then hes got no reason to hurt Doc.

...Docs a fun character to bully because hes so smarmy and small.

---

AND NOW FOR SOME SCIENCE BITCHES.

A man of few words and an intense curiosity with mortal beings and his own existence.

A spooky lad who doesnt quite mean to torment his subordinates... its just his Pressure.

Id imagine his form changes are a bit like Iron Man in IW when hes fighting Thanos.

I drew some more science bitches...

Some casual clothes for the original three stooges.

Shes deaf Franz! She cant hear you.

Ya know IDK if itd be ‘canon‘ that they all met as kids... I just thought itd be cute. Little psychic babies all doofin off together... the most troublesome one being asleep 90% of the time due to being an Abra.... and narcoleptic. Abra sleep so much naturally... Geller sleeps even MORE... thats why hes so incredibly smart even for an Alakazam.

I had a whole little redo sketch comic idea of Mewtwo breakin loose and fuckin shit up.... (its never been finished)

Franz tries to put him to sleep. (it doesnt work. He needs Emanuel and Nola to save him and he gets his arm broken for bein such a cheeky lad.)

Mewtwo doesnt have too much of a problem with Geller due to his soft spot for kids and pure desire for knowledge... but if hes gonna protect the other assholes then PERISH.

Dont worry though big boss Deo wont let his subordinates die let alone the second smartest after him... and saves them all pretty easy. A sharp tentacle arm through the chest will stop even Mewtwo.

Some booboos happen tho...

But hes fine eventually and finds his ex wife home watchin the kids.

Shes promptly expelled.

Geller also goes back for Dilla and steals him. Lifes too short not to adopt an ancient fossil baby.

Emanuel isnt delighted... but he doesnt have the heart to call the authorities on a man who risked his life to save him.

Fossil Mons come in two types-- Resurrected fossils which have the skin color of the primary coloring of their Pokemon form so they can be solid black or blue or red or w/e... Ancestors of ancient Pokemon have normal skin tones.

And another comic sketch idea... where Geller and Roswell are gifted with some fancy new Mega stones... Ros? Not too keen on the idea hes seen what can happen to a bitch when they Mega Evo... he aint got time for that. Geller goes HARD for SCIENCE.

Ros: Geller I know your a spoon guy but stick a fork in that bastard cuz hes done. COOKED. If he thinks im riskin my ass for his bullshit. Lets go tell him off together (im scared to go without you...)

Geller: We experiment on living things all the time for the sake of scientific progress.... are we really too good to be subject to our own studies?

Ros: YES. ABSOLUTELY.

After seeing Geller use his without hesitation, putting his body through a world of hurt for the sake of SCIENCE!!! Ros couldnt pussy out on his boy...

His Mega is just FABULOUS and now he loves it.

--

I was also makin a team with the Pokemon that have the highest stats (non Legends/Psudos/Megas) but I got bored after Blissey. She has a Togekiss wife I didnt finish either... Oh well.

Shes a bold lass and prefers double battles with her support wife. She doesnt like using dangerous moves as its in her nature as a Blissey to heal.

---

(I forgot his whiskers... OH WELL)

I wanted to give Flaminio some people who missed him after he got spirited away by his Ghosts.

After he disappeared people looked for him but he was never found and years and years went by and people stopped looking. Even Clove and Ceto had to move on.

Koban is a loyal bitch though and he never let it go. He still wants his friend back. Hes an old boy now... so old people probably call him ‘Nekomata‘ and wonder when his tail is gonna split.

Fantine and Cosette!:D

send me a character & I’ll answer the following about them!

Fantine: 

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life 

Everyone should love Fantine, I feel. She’s definitely one of those that grew on me considerably as the years passed and I spend a WHOLE LOT of time thinking about her surviving and just demanding that Valjean let her and Cosette adopt him, no questions asked. I also now have a very real love of shipping her with Bahorel (which I’m pretty sure is  your doing, Pilf). 

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang

I mean this is canon isn’t it?? I sort of feel like if she and Enjolras were ever to walk down the street in Paris together everyone would faint from their combined hotness being in the same vicinity as one another. 

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

I would be open to debate on this, but she shoves snow down someone’s back and I feel this is a gryffindor quality. 

best quality: Two things come to mind, the first is her determination, because like damn, the world just dumps on her and she does anything and everything she can for Cosette when she could have easily just given up. Going along with this, I think Fantine has this amazing capacity to love, and it’s just a crime she didn’t get to showcase that more because her life was cut short. But honestly, I don’t think even her harsh, horrible circumstances would take that from her. 

worst quality: Uhhh. I honestly can’t… think of one?? At least not one that I have thought about a whole lot in canon era. In Pirate AU sometimes she can be rash if you’ve pissed her off, though. Maybe that applies in canon? I dunno. 

ship them with: Bahorel. HAPPINESS. LIFE. 

brotp them with: Pirate AU’s probably made it clear, but also in canon if she lived I would want her to be like, platonic life partners with Valjean. She would not put up with his overly self-sacrificing stuff she would be like excuse me but no. 

needs to stay away from: HA Javert, for sure. That obviously doesn’t go well. Unless he can be nice she should 10/10 avoid

misc. thoughts: I just really love her??? I find myself thinking about her more and more and coming up with new scenarios in which she is ALIVE because she’s great and I think about her childhood a lot, like why can’t we just know more

Cosette: 

general opinion: fall in a hole and die | don’t like them | eh | they’re fine I guess | like them! | love them | actual love of my life 

I don’t talk about it enough but I actually really really really love Cosette and she’s very important to me. 

hotness level: get away from me | meh | neutral | theoretically hot but not my type | pretty hot | gorgeous! | 10/10 would bang

hogwarts house: gryffindor | slytherin | ravenclaw | hufflepuff

I THINK Hufflepuff?? I think of Cosette as being fiercely loyal and she’s obviously very kind, and for some reason I also associate her with baking, which I also associate with Hufflepuffs, though I’m not entirely sure why

best quality: The thing about Cosette is that she could be so bitter and she is NOT she is so sweet and kind and I just love her for it

worst quality: I mean, I guess you could say she’s too trusting, maybe? I say that because she doesn’t seem to super question the whole debacle with Valjean being absent near the end of the brick but also like. I criticize Hugo’s writing of women for that because to me, Cosette would have been knocking down Valjean’s door like EXCUSE ME but I would like you in my life please and give Marius a piece of her mind about his treatment of her dad, so. I think that’s Hugo’s fault rather than Cosette’s. 

ship them with: I mean, Marius? But also actually, Courfeyrac. I have been thinking about them a lottttt because yes.

brotp them with: I mean in an ideal world ALL THE AMIS but in particular Feuilly. 

needs to stay away from: Madame and Monsieur Thenardier and anyone who would dare treat her badly because she’s THE BEST

misc. thoughts: Often when I write I make Cosette interested in politics and I dunno if that’s something she’d actually be super into or if that’s just me?? But I really like to think about her working for prison reform in canon era after she finds out the truth about Valjean, and things like that

Ed Sheeran “Divide”

This is the third studio release from the English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Who really took some risks on this record. There’s a mix of traditional singer-songwriter ideas, irish-folk music, balladry, Carribean, and Paul Simon Graceland thing happening. And honestly, it makes the album sort of sporadic. On first listen you don’t really know what you are facing. The album opens with his branded singer-songwriter rap song “Eraser.” Which talks about his fame, roots, his faults and trials, and the against all odds ‘I can do it’ sort of feel. It’s pretty alright, he has iterated these ideas before in his career (aka his past 2 records) but I guess that’s something that is prevalent in rap music. Castle on the Hill another roots story song that tells of his childhood. This song had to grow on me, but it’s not a grabbing song. It sort of repeats the same idea with no new lexicon. “Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long, oh how we’ve grown” is not really a good excuse for a filler lyric. It’s very new Coldplay feeling. “Dive” is a R&B esque song, almost John Mayer like (not to mention he had contribution on How Would You Feel). It’s a song about commitment, it’s alright nothing really crazy. “Shape of You” is the Caribbean influenced track that was supposedly originally written for Rihanna and it is evident. This is one of the two occasions on the album where Van the Man is put on the jukebox. Very standard pop, it’s new land for Ed musically, and it’s a club song and that’s really it. “Perfect” is a beautiful song. Very lavish strings, and it can be a radio friendly song. And it’s the classic love feel, and Ed can’t go wrong with it. “Galway Girl” will be one of the big singles from this record. It is the second occasion where Van the Man is put on the jukebox (I don’t really want three). But, this song is unbelievably catchy with an interesting Irish Folk collaboration with Beoga. “Happier” and “New Man” are sadly, forgettable tracks. Sheeran has some cringey lyrics about instagram creepin on “New Man”  basically explaining his old girl’s new man is a douche. “Hearts Don’t Break Around Here” is another love ballad. That’s about it. “What Do I Know?” is a track about peace, positivity, and apparently romanticism. It’s almost corny, but I don’t mind it. Dreamers can dream, but the song is also almost a filler track as well. “How Would You Feel” is the best of the ballads on this string of them. It’s simple, the arrangement is beautiful, and radio will enjoy it hopefully. The John Mayer solo is clean, precise and if one has listened to Mayer enough, they will know it’s him. “Supermarket Flowers” is a terribly sad song, and it is ethereal. It tells of the death of his grandmother. It makes me feel bad listening to it because it doesn’t feel like I should, it is so personal and dedicated. “Barcelona” is a boppy song about a love affair in, of course, the Mediterranean. Catchy. It is very Ed Sheeran with a really cool twist, with some sort of flute following the melody. Reminds me of summer. As a Spanish speaker he did alright sorta, but I feel like that if a Spanish person listened to this song they’d think to themselves “Oh god” in a not super good way. The saxophone solo is an interesting touch as well as the following horns. “Bibia Be Ye Ye” is a song written with Ghanaian twi dialect. I listened to this song and it’s ripping straight from Paul Simon’s Graceland. It’s fun, jumpy. But Paul Simon did it first my friend (that’s a joke I’m just kidding). It’s just the genre hop is fucking insane on this album, more so than Twenty One Pilots’ Blurryface. “Nancy Mulligan” feels like a pirate tune. More feature from Beoga, and I believe it is about his family again. I like the folk feel, but if I recall, this is a pop album? I’m sure there was objections from the label, about certain songs. I like the feel, but the genre hop again is super weird. “Save Myself” is Ed’s feeling of being a doormat. He’s saying he needs to save himself (duh) before he saves someone else. Also sad. It has a pretty string arrangement, and it flows well. Ed Sheeran is pushing his sound which is super essential with being a musician. But wow, this is really all over. He has had a huge impact on me as an artist, and it’s good to see movement, but he can’t find a sound. Super experimental. It’s hard to really put a thread through this needle. 

Favorites: How Would You Feel, Galway Girl, Barcelona 

Songs that are meh: New Man, Happier, What Do I Know? 

6.5-7/10

I will continue to listen to the album (I’m inclined to Ed’s music), it’s not the worst thing I have ever heard. It’ll be all over radio, and cheers to Ed on trying to find new sounds. It’s hard, musician to musician. 

[amazon-invasion-blog]

Well it's safe to say that I am awful at this whole blogging thing. Meh, I guess there are worse things in life. ANYways I'm in month number 4 of Spain. Tengo mejores espanol pero necesito practicar mucho despues seré feliz. I need lots and LOTS of practice. The good news is that I've gotten less afraid to try. Other than that life is normal. It's interesting that people expect that just because you are in another country everything is amazing and different and crazy, in some ways it is, but in many ways people are the same and life is the same. You still have a hard time meeting people while you work and getting comfortable in a new place (maybe not you, maybe just me...). So here's the flashy stuff: San Sebastian - Absolutely stunning. I can't recommend it enough. I was lucky to meet a wonderful group of people there through David and his cousin Matt and I had a freaking blast living the (absolutely insane) study abroad life for a short time. It's no wonder people come back and get depressed because it's basically an excuse to hang out (and drink of course) with a bunch of other young interesting people in a beautiful place where you are all transplanted and only have each other. A huge group of instant friends. It's amazing and lovely and sucks when you have to leave. I would recommend going to a tiny Church outside of Bilbao called San Juan de Ga...something something (google magic my friends). It took us forever to get there but it is a stone church on a tiny island in the ocean. People traditionally ring the bell three times so the soothing sound is melodic in it's consistency. Now, here's the thing, we didn't actually make it to the church because we ran out of time BUT we did make it to a spot on the cliff overlooking both the church and the coastline while the sun was setting. It was incredible. To add to it, a bit of personal history: My ancestor, Sir Francis Drake, murdered a hermit at that exact church 420 years before I was there. He pushed the man off of the cliff. David was very disappointed in me for not having a repeat performance and many pirate jokes were to be had. To be honest I am sure there are lots of sites to visit but other than the big giant statue of Jesus (fantastic for sunsets) on the maze of a hill (a great place to wander at night) basically all I did was eat, drink, lie around (on the beach or otherwise), and drink some more. Wandering the streets is enough to get a sense of peace. I loved it. So that's the list of my Spanish cities to date #brokelife For Christmas and New Years I did visit Caleb and Febi in Ihringen and a bit of Freiburg followed by a week in Berlin. So here's.... Berlin - If you think you have time to relax you are wrong. I made this mistake when Caleb told me the same thing and then I consulted the internet and commenced racing the clock from spot to spot. Some tips - 1) if you do the Reichstag building it is worth it to wait in line (or reserve ahead if you're adulting) and get a free time slot to go inside the glass dome. It was pretty cool and the top is open to the sky so although it was freezing I still took a moment to lie back and have a moment with the stars. 2) The Jewish Museum is definitely worth the money (only 3 euros if you have ANY student ID). The painting shown above is from an exhibition entitled "A Muslim, a Christian, and a Jew". Playing off of the classic joke opener these paintings displayed three virtually identical characters experiencing different life events. It was simple, profound, humorous, and one of my favorite parts of my trip. 3) The Topography of Terror is also very interesting (free) but be prepared to need a bit of cake after visiting the old headquarters of the SS and the Gestapo. Lucky for you there's awesome cake everywhere. 4) Get currywurst! The stands on the street (there's one near the Topography of Terror) are so so yummy. 5) Get Doner Kebab. So yummy and Berlin is where it originated..6) Go to the Soviet War Memorial and then tell me how it was because I didn't make it but every Berliner said it's fantastic. You can also check out a local brewery that my dad is very upset at me for not going to. 7) If you are ok with being a bit out of the way go to The Jetpak Eco Lodge. It's in the middle of a tiny forest on the edge of the main city and I'm not going to lie, it sucks getting to but it's so relaxing and comfortable with free breakfast and absolutely fantastic people. I was a bit skeptical when I got there (the middle of the night in a forest, come on) but I would love to go back. I'd recommend summer but cozying up to the fireplace in a nearly empty hostel was still really fun for me. One cool thing that I got to do in Berlin was to go to the famous club Berghain. It's infamous for being impossible to get into so I decided to join the culture of waiting in line. Much to my surprise I wasn't rejected but was let in! They don't let you take pictures and to say this club is alternative or a bit insane would be mild but I had an absolute blast. People are just having fun in the most open and unabashed way, plus there was a swinging platform to sit on (or fall asleep on if you want)! Alright there's my travels. As always I have so much to catch up on but that will have to wait for another day. Tschüss! Hasta Luego!

Harry Hook x reader – connected – soulmate! AU

Type of soulmate au: hearing the other thoughts

Key:

h/c- hair color

e/c- eye color

h/l- hair length

s/c- skin color

y/n- your name

---(y/n) POV---

soulmates are able to hear the others thoughts, you have been hearing the thoughts of one harry hook since you were a child when you could understand speech and thoughts.

He was the first to make contact, when you were 3 years old

Hello?

Hi! Are you my soulmate?

Yes!! I wasn’t sure yeh would respond, my names harry hook! What's yours?

(y/n), (y/n) Swann.

You both talked constantly day and night, your mother having to teach you to shut off the link between you and Harry so you could get some sleep.

One problem, he's an isle kid, you’re an Auradon kid, royalty to be exact, well…not really royalty, the daughter of the pirate king, Elizabeth swan.

 You were (y/n) Swann-Turner, daughter of Elizabeth Swann and Will Turner. One day Harry had invaded your thoughts, screaming about the fact that hed just heard a story from his uncle smee about the pirate king. Elizabeth Swann, asking you if she was the same as your mother.

When you had told him she was, Harry had squealed in excitement.

Then his thoughts turned fearful, he told you he had to go

Im sorry (y/n) I haveta go, meh dads getting mad, he's scary when he's mad.

It's okay Harry, stay safe.

I'll try

He had shut his link of with you for a while, only opening it once to tell you his dad had forbidden him from talking to you ever again

Im sorry lass, I don’t want to, but he scares me.

I understand, just…just check in once in a while, please?

Yeah

That had been the end of your full conversations for a while. He only reopened the link once a month, just to say he was okay, and then he would close it.

You hated it, falling into a depression, that happened to those whose soulmates closed off their connection.

One day, when you were 15, he opened the link, scaring you slightly as you were studying for the geometry test.

LASSIE

On davy jones heart harry! What the fuck?

Sorry, good news!

Yeah?

Meh dads dead!!!

…

Lassie?

How is that good news?

It means we can talk freely lass!!! He can’t tell me to not talk to yeh!

Oh!!! Yay!!

So…hows it been going for the last seven years?

You both talked all throughout the night and into the morning, happy to be properly speaking to the other for the first time in a long time.

And if that meant you fell asleep during the test that’s okay, you were just happy that you could talk to him again

Your mother had noticed as well, your grades had gone up, you were eating properly again, you had taken an interest in your swordsmanship once more, you were just…happier.

“(y/n)?” you glanced up from your book, telling Harry to pause your conversation for a  moment.

Are yeh sure lass, is it ba-

It's okay Harry, it's just my mum

Okay.

“what's up mum?” you asked, raising your brow at your mother, she seemed…not concerned but curious.

“I've noticed something.”

“yeah?”

“You seem…happier?”

“oh! Yeah, my soulmate reopened the link-“

“oh! Thank goodness, I noticed you became depressed after he shut the link, I was the same way when your father closed it after he became captain of the  Dutchmen…im happy for you sweetie” she walked over to you, leaning down to hug you

“thanks mum” you leaned into your mothers embrace, she kissed your forehead and left the room, closing the door behind you.

Yeh have a good relationship with yeh mom

Yeah im thankful for that

….

Harry?

Sorry was just..thinking

Don’t hurt yourself hooky

Eay!!

One day, the crown prince ben, the son of King Adam and Belle, had announced his first proclamation, that he would be bringing four VKs to Auradon to attend Auradon Prep, to give them a chance at a normal life.

When you heard you immediately told harry.

Harry!!! Guess what!!

Shit! Yeh scared meh,…um…. you're a pirate lord now?!

No, that’s not happening till my mom passes her title to me, but Bens going to bring over four VKs to Auradon!!!!

Holy fuck what!?!?!

Yeah!!! I'll see if I can convince him to bring you over!!!

I really hope you can, I want to see you

Right back at you hooky

Shit Umas calling me I gotta go

Kay, say hi to her for me! Oh! And tell her ill try to get her over too, I want to meet my fellow pirate captain.

Kay, talk teh yeh later lassie

Bye

-----

Ben had already decided on who he would be bringing

Mal, Evie, Carlos, and jay. You furrowed your brows and the first and last name, harry had told you about them

Mal, the girl that had ruined Umas reputation and self-esteem, and Jay, the boy who abandoned Harry when he needed him most.

Harry had nothing against Evie and Carlos, other than the fact that they crewed with Mal.

You had tried to argue against his choice, trying to suggest Harry and Uma, when he voiced that Mal was his soulmate like Harry was yours.

You stopped at that, asking him to at least promise to bring over Harry, Gil, and Uma after the first four are more accustomed to Auradon.

He promised.

----

He forgot his promise. It's been six months since the core four came over, six months since you told harry the bad news, six months of trying to bug ben to remember his promise

But all you got was ‘im busy (y/n)’ ‘I can't right now (y/n)’ ‘I have a date with mal right now (y/n) later’

He kept making excuses, more and more each day, till you weren’t even able to talk to him at all.

One day

Lassie, you'll never guess who I just found~

Something to strangle Chad Charming with?

What?

Nevermind, go on?

The traitor malsie~

Wha? Shes…she and Ben had a fight, she must've cracked and retreated to the isle.

Oh oh oh~ that’s good! Umas gonna love this~!

Good, maybe you guys can get some leverage on ben.

You were interrupted by frantic knocking on your door, getting up, you heard Harry talking animatedly in the background, but you toned the link down, so you could hear him if he called for you, but you could also ignore him if needed.

Opening the door, you saw Evie, looking worried.

“what do you want?”

“Mal’s gone back to the isle.”

You just stared at her for a few moments, before raising your brow in disinterest. “and I care why?”

“because…..you said your soulmates a vk right?”

“Yeah?..”

“You can visit him when we all go to get Mal!”

You paused, if you went with them, you could see Harry, wait we?

“we? Whos we?

“me Carlos, Jay, and Ben”

“Ben? As in King Ben? That’s a stupid move Evie”

“he's the one who has to convince Mal to come back, and he was going to go alone before I insisted that we go”

“and you need me why?”

“because your even more skilled than Jay and Carlos with a sword, and you’re terrifying when you fight. It would be a good idea for you to be Bens bodyguard”

You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose, before hearing Harry's voice, calling your name in confusion

“fine, I’ll go but only to meet my soulmate”

“Okay, meet us at the back of the dorms in an hour!”

You nodded, closing the door, and turning to your room, leaning back on your door.

Hey hooky, guess whos coming to the isle~

----

The isle…was exactly the way Harry described it. Rundown, trash everywhere, the smell of rot filling the air.

It only made your decision to get harry of the isle more strong.

As you arrived at the core four hideout, you told Harry where it was, and to wait at the back ally.

On it lassie, see yeh soon

See you soon harry.

Once Ben had returned from the upstairs loft, he left to the back ally, and you followed him.

“Ben, wait up”

“I can't believe this, I thought, I thought Auradon was enough for Mal I thought-“

“okay beasty boy im going to stop you right there, it wasn’t that Auradon wasn’t enough for her, it was the pressure of having to be this pretty pink perfect princess, and the fact that you never bothered to ask if she was okay or not, you just assumed, now I don’t like Mal, but I could tell she was getting overwhelmed”

“i-I ah!”

A pair of arms grabbed Ben, wrestling his wrists together, and gagging him.

Then you were grabbed.

You yelped, fighting back against the tall male holding you, turning slightly, you saw a tan male, with braids holding his hair back.

“lookie what we got here lads~ a lost king~”

You recognized that voice.

You turned to it, seeing a tall male, red scarlet jacket, fluffy curly black hair, ocean blue eyes lined with kohl, diamond-cut jaw, and..and a hook in his left hand.

‘Harry?’ you thought

The male tensed slightly still taunting Ben but seeming to have another conversation in his head.

Yeah, lass?

Are you in front of Ben at the moment?

Yeah, we just got him, why?

Did you catch anyone else?

Aye, this pretty lass with (h/c) hair and (e/c) eyes, why?

That’s me you asshole

“fuck” Harry said aloud, glancing at you. Before turning back to Ben, pointing his hook at him.

“take him teh the brigs, and bring her” he pointed at you, a softness in his eyes “to meh courters. I wanna have a little chat wit her”

Harry turned, walking back down the ally, to Evie calling for Ben

-----

Now you sat on Harry's bed, feeling slightly awkward as you waited for him to return from…whatever he was doing.

The door opened, and Harry stepped through, looking…nervous?

You both just stared at each other as he closed the door behind him.

We've talked for years and all of a sudden, we can't do it in real life?

Harry jumped slightly, not expecting you to use the link to talk.

“uh yeah, I guess….. I dinne kay how teh do this.”

“Neither do I” you shrugged, “but we’re soulmates for a reason aren’t we?”

“aye”

So you talked, about what was going to happen, and what was going on tomorrow, and what would happen after.

“because of Bens….forgiving tendencies, I think he'll still let you over, especially if Uma can work her magic.”

Harry nodded, sighing, looking at you through his lashes.

“…lassie?”

You hummed stopping your pacing, looking down at Harry sitting on his bed.

“yeah?”

Harry shuffled his feet, playing with his hook, and biting his lip.

“can…can I kiss yeh?”

You paused, staring at him, he looked up at you, shy and unsure, you bit your lip, sitting down on the bed next to him.

“yes” you whispered, Harry didn’t waste a second, leaning in and passionately pressing his lips to yours.

You moaned in response as he pushed you down onto the bed, wrapping his arms around your waist, you curl your fingers into his hair. He nipped your lip as you pulled his black curled locks

-----

The next morning, you woke up in Harry's arms (completely clothed btw you nastys~ ;p) you groaned as you uncurled yourself from harry, sitting up from the bed, you stretched.

You heard harry sniff as he sat up, laying his head between your shoulder blades.

“wand for the crown today lass”

“mmhh, yeah, let's hope Mal brings it”

----

You had ended up tied with ben, to give the illusion that you weren’t apart of the plan. Ben apologized to you, saying that he was sorry you had never had the chance to meet your soulmate.

You and Harry locked eyes, linking once more

Is beasty boy really that oblivious?

Yep

Wow

Soon Mal showed up, and you had been around the wand enough time to tell it was plastic. You could see the lines where the plastic melded together.

Harry! the wands fake!

What!!!!

Yeah, Carlos must've printed it with his 3d printer

You heard Harry growl as his grip on Ben tightened, but you stopped him from releasing Ben into the shark-infested waters

Harry doesn’t, he's your only way to Auradon now!

…

Harry, please

…fine

Thank you, I just got you, I cant lose you

…

Harry nodded at you, bringing Ben towards him slightly, away from the edge of the plank.

“Harry…bring em over”

Harry grumbled as he gripped Bens jacket collar, leading you with his hook.

He shoved Ben down to his knees, gently pushing you to stand beside him

“cut em lose”

He huffed, “I never get teh have any fun!” he sliced Bens ropes and used his hook to free you.

Go with them lass, yeh don’t belong on the isle, ill be fine

I don’t like it but okay, stay safe.

You tried to rush to the tunnel with the others, but Uma snapped the “wand” and order for the crew to take you down.

Jay tossed you a sword, you caught it effortlessly, twirling it in your palm, and launching into battle, sending the crew's swords flying and swiftly cutting them down.

Harry was cackling in your mind

Holy shit lassie!!! Yer impressive!!

Why thank you~ I learned from the best!

Tell yer dad the teach me!!

Tell him yourself!

Hahaha!

Then the smoke bombs, you glanced at Harry, who was soaking wet and turned your gaze to Uma, nodding at her, she returned it, rage still in her eyes

See you hooky

See ya Swann

You leaped into the car, seeing a particular book in the corner of your eye

Harry

Hm?

Mals spellbook, at the other side of the tunnel

Got ill tell Uma

Good luck

…

Lassie?

Yeah, Harry?

i….

I have strong affections for you too hooky

…thanks.

“while I am lost, im no fairy pirate boy” you sneered, keeping the fear out of your voice if he figured out who you were, you were gonna be in deep shit.

“feisty little fairy arent yeh, alright, ill call yeh lost girl then, now I asked yeh a question” his eyebrow twitched, irritation bubbling up at your indirect refusal of answering his question.

“who are yeh?”

You rolled your eyes, keeping up the brave façade. “no one of consequence” the boy smirked and tilted his head.

“I must”

You huffed and turned, starting to walk away. “get used to disappointment”

The boy sneered but stopped when he saw a particular item you were wearing.

A green beanie with a red feather stitched to the side, his eyes widened with glee.

“pan~” he sang at you, you froze in fear, how did he figure out?!?!

Shit the beanie!! You quickly ripped off your head and glared at the hook boy. Hoping he wouldn’t see your shaking fingers.

“it's not mine, I just found it around”

The boy's smirk dropped, clearly unimpressed by your excuse. “lies,” he sneered, stalking up to you and snatching the hat. Holding it up between the two of you. “if yeh found it laying around he’re it would’ve been torn and old, this thing looks like it's brand new, yer pans kid, no doubt.”

You were frozen in fear, unable to look away, he had seen right through your lies and had you trapped.

The grinned sadistically, knowing he had you cornered.

“now little lost girl~” he sang as he ran his hook through your hair, you shivered at the cold metal brushing your cheek “what's yer name~”

“(y/n)” you whispered, hoping he wouldn’t hear you “(y/n) pan”

“well miss (y/n) Pan~ pleasure meeting yeh, I” he took a step back and bowed low, keeping his blue eyes on you. “am Harry Hook, and im sure yeh have figured out who I am”

“the son of captain hook” you muttered, glancing around for an escape. Harry's eyes followed yours, quickly making plans to prevent you from escaping his grasp.

“Another thing I would like teh know is” Harry drawled, standing to his full height and looming over you, “why are yeh here? Don’t yeh live on neverland with pan?”

You huffed, not really wanting to tell him what happened “I don’t know why I was asleep and then I woke up here.”

Harry rose his brow, huh, now he would have though pan had enough of being a parent and threw you away to here, just like every other parent did.

Harry hummed, “so the lost girl is truly lost eh, meh da will know what teh do with yeh” harry grasped your arm roughly and began to drag you to god knows where.

You started to panic ‘shit shit shit how do i-‘ quickly thinking you slammed your foot onto his and twisted his arm, releasing his grip on you, you turned the other way and bolted, running as fast as you could.

Harry growled, and sprinted after you, quickly catching up to you. He saw you breathing heavily, he smirked ‘she doesn’t have high endurance, good, that'll work to my advantage’ he thought, as you began to pant from over extortion.

‘fuck you dad’ you thought, tears burning at your eyes, cursing your dad for never teaching you more endurance and let you join the training.

All of a sudden your foot caught a rock and you squealed, falling face forward to the ground. That’s when strong leather-clad arms caught you. But relief didn’t fill your chest, only more fear.

“got yeh, now come on lassie, me da would like to see yeh”

“p-please no! I cant-I cant” you began to hyperventilate, trying your best to wiggle out of his arms.

“harry! I've been looking- who is that?” a black girl with tight teal braids came around the corner, raising her brow at harry standing over you, both breathing heavily.

“Uma!” harry panted grinning at her. “yeh will never guess who this is!!” the girl, Uma, furrowed her brows, agitated.

“I care why?”

Harry's grin turned dark and you shivered from the malice within his eyes. “its the daughter of pan~”

Umas eyes brightened, a smirk playing on her lips. “well why didn’t you say so~ bring her to the ship”

Harry nodded and hoisted you up over his shoulder, carrying you as if you weighed nothing more than his sword at his side.

‘no no nonono!’ you thought desperate to get out of his grip, wriggling around, but he didn’t budge.

“let's go, little lost girl, im gonna have fun with yeh” you froze, you did not like the sound of that, but before you could try once more to free yourself from his grasp, your eye caught a child…laying limp on the ground, clutching their stomach and face pinched in pain.

Tearing your eyes away from the sight, you saw another child running away from a merchant, holding moldy apples and bread in his arms, clothes ripped and old.

The smell of the place was also horrific, old rotten milk, food, and feces.

Now you knew why the VKs hated talking about the isle, it was hell on earth.

Soon the rotten smell began to ebb away, the smell of the sea brushing your senses. Twisting yourself to look over Harry's shoulder, you saw a large imposing ship, marked with old chipped paint.

‘Lost Revenge’

Harry set you down, keeping a grip on your arms preventing you from running away.

Placing his chin on your shoulder, smirking at you. He proudly announced the ship.

“welcome teh the lost revenge lassie”
