#i just suprise not many people seem to either care or agree with this

[toxictac]

Soo i watched death battles new episode, was fun... but man outside of the vs debate stuff

Is it weird to say i dont like how bardock is characterise? like its not bad perse, i dont think he is quite out of character and i havent read minus or the dragon ball manga

But its weird to see him being a brute force fighter and not a more tacian fighter, i mean in his first battle againts the friza soldiers he uses tactics like incresing his power level or obscuring their vision to get the upper hand

Plus i dont like how they use the iconic pose and his signature attack, idk i think the whole idea of "trying to defy fate" is kinda lost on the animation

newlyweds xavier thorpe x reader hcs

a/n: I love this idea! and thank you for your kind kind words<3

warnings: reader is part fae, absent parent, slight nsfw

°°°

- it was instant connection with you and xavier, since he laid eyes on you, your perfume clouds his sense and your beauty haunts his dreams and canvases.

- but the rush of the relationship had scared you at first.

- you two ended up in a big argument a few months in your relationships where you admit to him you worries about moving too fast etc and being scared you'd ruin it or he'd change his mind about you.

- since then, he decided to make extra efforts in reassuring you, and you two start spending many times together doing bonding activities and getting to know eachother's boundaries.

- as much as he seems confident in your relationship, he's deeply insecure about you finding a true mate that's not him.

- until one day, he notices you doing a specific courting ritual for him.

- it was then he realized that you were doing it to mate him in the faerie tradition, showing how serious you were about him.

- 4 months into the relationship, he's already bought you a ring, you two were basically already a married couple, every event he wasn't allowed to be around you in, his eyes will wander for yours, every moment you spend together are either deeply affectionate or in peaceful comfortable silence.

- it was during the holidays, his father was barely home, when he was, xavier tried bringing you up, telling him how he thinks you're the one.

- the older man only waved him off, reusing the lines "if that's what you want.", frustrating him.

- that night, without you warming his bed or holding him through his sleep, he realizes how truly lonely he feels. and the only cure for the loneliness was you.

- he suprised you at you family's house, your mother was absolutely whipped by Xavier.

- already referring him as 'my son'.

- seeing how easy he was accepted into the tight knit family, he takes the risks and proposes to you during dinner.

- you were in awe, tears formed in your eyes and you almost forgot there were other people in room.

- when you only stared at the diamond ring in shock, your sister had answered for you screaming "if you don't want him I do!" earnings a shushing from your mother.

-you jumped off your seat and basically leaped on him, crying yes repeatedly, and your mother cried that night, reminiscing her old love with your dead father, she was glad you had found the mate you deserved.

- he had brought a house near your's, using his trust fund (he's a nepo baby sorry y'all).

- when his father found out he was getting married, he guilt tripped xavier into agreeing to work under him with his company.

- Xavier agrees, telling himself that he'd work his way up to independence sooner or later, but for now he didn't want to promise you an unsure future.

- so you marry 6 months after graduating Nevermore, thankfully already now having a house and stable job.

- you work in a troubled children school as a counselor a few months in your marriage.

- and as much as you both learned to enjoy your jobs, he was upset that you two hadn't had a honeymoon yet, he secretly plans a vacation to bora bora while you're blissfully unaware.

- even if you two were busy with work, you'll always make time for eachother, always having dinner every night together unless he has a late shift (which he'd tell you first).

- sunday movie nights binge watching the hobbit and doing laundry together, an activity you both despise but work together to finish.

- when your 1 year anniversary finally arrives, he suprised you by coming home early and setting up a nice romantic chinese takeaway date, it may sounds cheap to other, but he knows your love for chinese fried rice runs deep.

- you pointed ears twitch at the sight of a small box he gifts you, and you couldn't he happier to find two plane tickets to bora bora in it.

- you two take a month off and spend it swimming in oceans and trying out new food.

- while you busy yourselves admiring the culture, he impatiently waits for night to come so he could admire you in private.

- it wasn't unusual for newlyweds to go at it like rabbits.

- but even after a whole year of being together, his desire for you was never sated.

- cooking dinner together too often ends up with you bent on the kitchen counter and moans and whimpers filling the kitchen while the spaghetti overcooks.

- it was not rare for movie nights to be spent with him in between your thighs instead of actually watching the lord of the rings.

- you also start showering together once you two got married, and on days one of you were too tired, you two would lay in a tub together while slowly washing eachother's hair and body. it was an intimate act both of you could appreciate without it having to be anything sexual.

- baby talks only comes in years later in the marriage, both of you settling with a fat tabby cat, not ready for an actual child.

- you grumpy orange cat was the light of your lives despite it's constant habit of breaking Xavier's stuff and accidentally spilling his art paints ( Mr fluffykins is no longer allowed in his art shed btw)

- you almost feel stupid for doubting your relationship a while ago, for now, you can't even begin to imagine ever loving anyone else.

steddie swapping soulmate au part 13

part 1 |[...]| part 12 | part 13 | part 14 | Ao3

---

What follows is the longest talk Steve ever had.

He sits numbly beside Robin, the silence surprisingly easy between them.

Or perhpas it's not that suprising, given they both stripped their souls bare.

Robin doesn't like Steve.

Not because he's unlikeable but because Steve is a boy and he isn't a girl. And Robin, who is a girl, also likes girls.

It doesn't shock Steve has much as it could have, not when he knows his other soulmate is a boy. Not when he knows that he would do anything to not see the disdain in Eddie's eyes. Not when he knows he would have fallen in love, if Eddie had not clearly showed him he didn't want him.

But Robin says that, if Steve won't be a dick about it, they can still try to be friends. They're going to share a body, after all. Several time in their lives.

Steve, in returns, explain what happen with Eddie.

Robin seems surprised that he has two soulmates. Even more surprised to learn that Eddie, defensor of minorities, rejected Steve so straighforwardly because he is a man.

When Robin attempts to hug him, it feels very strange. Not many people have tried of offer him physical comfort in the past. And none of them were taller than him.

He doesn't find it uncomfortable.

It takes a while longer for them to settle into some sort of agreement. Robin was not expecting a relationship, of any sort, and Steve could clearly see how afraid of him she had been.

Yet they are soulmates, even if they are meant to stay platonic, which Steve is ready to accept if it means he has someone by his side. There is a reason why they are supposed to be linked.

Even if the universe made mistakes before.

Still, Robin agrees to give him a chance at friendship, as long as he doesn't drag her as his girlfriend, or tries to make her join the popular crowds.

"I like being a nerd, you're not all nice about it but I'd rather have good grades, band practices and people with whom can hold a meaningful conversations rather than being some eye candy, and speak of nothing but silly rumours."

Stings a little bit, but he can understand.

He, too, would like to have some meaningful conversations.

They don't really part for the rest of the day, but they stay away from the crowds. They don't really talk either.

Robin is fast to grab her own bag and start working on the class she is currently missing.

Steve is the one to go out and join society for a little while, just to grab them some food. He is amazed by how easily he can cross the corridors with Robin's appearance. He probably shouldn't, realising that she probably is often made fun of, but he can't help but wish for the same kind of invisibleness. It feels so much more peaceful.

They both go back home, Steve to Robin's, Robin to Steve's. He tries to apoligise for the empty walls and lonesomness of his own, knowing how uncomfortable it make him, who is now used to it, feel. Robin just waves him off.

She cares so little about it, Steve wonders if he is overreacting.

When he falls asleep in Robin's colourful sheets, he tries to enjoy the few seconds of warmth, hearing the sounds of the TV playing in the living room, the faint light under the door, nothing like the creepy cricking of his empty house and the cold morning he'll face, alone again tomorrow.

Steve tries not to feel down when he does wake up alone.

He is used to it.

He ignores thoughts of Eddie, a well-oiled routine, but his mind does stop on Robin.

He wonders if the universe truly hates him, wonders what he did to deserve two soulmates who wanted nothing to do with him.

Not Robin, she said she'd give me a chance, he reminds himself. He'd take whatever she was willing to give, even a half hearted friendship.

In the corridors of the school, alone for once, his head full, he doesn't realise when he bumps into no other than Eddie Munson.

The man is still taller than him, his hair flowing around his face with something akin to grace.

"Congratulation, man," the other man says, bumping a heavy ringed hand against his shoulder.

Steve almost wonders what it means before Eddie continues. "Your soulmate. Did a right number on me yesterday," he laughs, something deep and it would perhaps be enjoyable if it did not stab Steve's heart in a thousand different ways, if it wasn't at his expense. Does the man really hate him so much that he can't accept that Steve has someone else? At least he should feel free of the burden Steve was.

He just pushes past Eddie, not caring if he bumped into his shoulder and made the other man's bag fall.

He tries as hard as possible to keep the tears in.

He only manages to until he reaches the bathroom.

[oh-for-fic-sake]

I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING I HAD TO SHARE!!!

What if Henry and his S/O's relationship is Dom and Sun because it's something they both need?

Like his S/O is a nurse/caretaker and spends up to 12 hours a day taking care of others.

Henry is an actor he spends his work days being told what to do by the director. He's expected to listen to directions and do what others tell him to.

So when they are together S/O needs someone to take the reigns because they are tired and don't want responsibilities and Henry needs control. Creating this perfect healthy BDSM relationship where Henry can take care of his tired S/O and she can let go of the stresses of taking care of many people every day.

I'm jealous of my own headcannon now😭😭😭😭

Omg! yes this would be perfect!

holyshit this is long but i just got carried away! sorry 😨😨

When you were dating it was Henry who planned everything and booked it. at first you thought it was because he was an actor and he his ‘private’ places to go.

He would find out your favourite foods and drinks so he could order them if you, his excuse was that way you wont get to look at the menu and complain about price- because he wasn’t having you tell him what he can and cannot spend on you.

It annoyed you at first, you were frugal with money-you had to be the nhs doesnt pay that well! but even so you did have some disposable income, you felt bad about it but he was a stubborn man and you’d never win.

Then as you got closer you noticed his quirks, you wouldnt say he was overbearing but he liked to know what was going on, your shifts and times youd be home ect.

When you got put on night shifts he would come pick you up and if he was away he paid for a taxi everynight to bring you home. you tired to tell him to stop wasting money but he refused “your saftey is more important to me then money”

You didnt mind in all honesty after spending 12-14 hour shifts running around looking after patients it was nice having someone watch out for you for a change, and he seemed to enjoy being the one to look after you.

it didnt take long to click that Henry was a dominant male, but not a mean control freak way, it was soft and gentle everything seemed to center around your comfort. sometimes you felt guilty but he brushed you off telling you to stop being silly he loved catering to you.

This carried over into the bedroom after a few months you both began exploring kinks and found that you were a perfect match, you loved having the stress of responsibility taken from you. it was a nice change, your job needed you to be on the ball and make potentially life saving decisions all day everyday. it was nice not having to think, and he was only to happy to order you around inbetween the sheets. you both got a kick out of it.

After you moved in officialy you noticed that Henry had a habit of being ontop of everything. he was meticulous about the bills, the chores the shopping everything. 

He wasnt ocd or picky but he knew everything that was going on in his home he was organised in a way you never dreamt a man could be!

 It was a load off your mind to be honest. There were no suprises in anything he just got it. he run the household like a well oiled machine and it was a nice change from your chaotic ‘oh shit i forgot to top up the electric again’ type of house you’d run

It wasnt long before you’d started following his lead, letting him have his say on most things, you enjoyed coming to him for answers, it made you feel secure. if you wasnt sure he would be, having that type of backup was somthing you soon craved and you trusted him.

Within a few months things had found a natural flow and you could feel yourself becoming a strong inpenatrable unit. you were well suited to one another, he was organised enough for the both of you and you loved that about him, outside of work you were a bit of a scatterbrain.

Then out of the blue he had just blurted it out, and not in sex either! you were sitting down at the coffee table unpacking your chinese take away and he’d blurted it out. ‘do you know your a sub?’

You’d looked at him like he’d grown a second head and tried waving him off but he didnt let up he continued ‘im serious, your a sub babe... not just in the bedroom’

‘Okay im a sub then? and whats it matter’ you added shrugging not really following what he meant.

‘I want to top you’ you frowned and pointed to the chinese ‘ but the food will get cold?’

he chuckled and began explaining that he wanted to be your dom permenantly. the conversation lasted a few days wokring out a few things but in the end you agreed to give it a go.

it was the best thing you ever did! he took more wieght off of you, giving you the strength to start saying no to things that wasnt good for you, like when work tried to overload you and run you into the ground. 

henry never became too overbareing he stayed the same for the most part sweet and caring being a soft boy watching over you

but thats not to say he didnt put his foot down, he gave you boundaries for your own wellbeing and consequences for when you didnt follow them like enduring a 16 hour shift without eating properly! 

the punishments werent nice but they helped you to remeber to take better care of yourself.

but punishments were few and far between, your realtionship was just that a relationship, sure you had a plethora of sex toys hidden in the closet for when you got to stressed of a little bratty. 

in the end you had both won the lottery, he got someone who would let him take charge and care for, and you got someone who could take the weight off your shoulders and take care of you. the relationship just worked for you!

Pyre/Greedling Meta:

I remember in the earlier volumes that a fair amount of people in the FNDM would compare Cinder to Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist, due to her femme fatale persona and voice seeming like an impression of Laura Bailey's Lust.

But as we learn more about Cinder and meet Salem in vol4, it's very clear that the version of herself she likes to present herself as is meant to come across as an impression, an imitation. Because she's trying to imitate Salem, the person who defines what power is to her.

And as that facade crumbles and we slowly start to see how deep Cinder's desires really run, it's far more clear to me that her character and story have much more in common with Greed, not Lust.

:read more:

Greed is the only homunculi who is willing to follow his deepest desires to the fullest, regardless of where that placed him. He was certainly willing to do evil, but wouldn't if that evil didn't personally benefit him. And, over time within the series, Greed comes to realise that his obsession with power, glory and seeking to become God, were nothing more than vain attempts to cover up his true emotional emptiness caused by a lack of connecting to others. And once he finds a cause and people to support who help and support him in turn, his character arc finishes with him, Greed, looking on all that he has, his friends, and is grateful. Content.

Which ties into the lesson of the Fall Maiden in the Tale of the Four Maidens in which Fall begs the Hermit to look around at all he has and be thankful. To be satisfied and content with oneself, which is a lesson Cinder has to learn in order to truly become a Fall Maiden.

Greed's desires are similar to Cinder's own ambition for power driven by her fear and insecurities, seeking to become a "godlike maiden badass" wanting to fill the emptiness and craving she feels, not yet realizing that this will not be what brings her true satisfaction to her, well, greed.

"Greed may not be good, but it's not so bad either. You humans think greed is just for money and power! But everyone wants something they don't have"

"You Atlas elites are all the same! You think hoarding power means you'll have it forever. But it just makes the rest of us hungrier! And I refuse to starve"."

I think it's very important to point out that Greed doesn't become good or redeem himself because he sees the error of his ways and wants to atone for the things he's done, rather he starts on the path to redemption by refusing to be a pawn to Father any longer, when realizing the power and glory he craves he wouldn't be able to obtain by staying and working underneath Father like the rest. His greed and dissatisfaction are what motivates him, though it is ultimately Ling who gives him the final push and convinces him to side with the protagonists.

And Cinder at the end of vol7 seems to be heading towards a crossroads of whether or not she'll stay with Salem, given how the Grimm arm that was "gifted" to her by Salem seems to be slowly consuming her body, she might have doubts about whether the kind of power Salem has promised her is really the kind of power she wants, and whether she's prepared to sacrifice herself to obtain it, or whether she could choose to strike out on her own. Again, some villains start on the path to redemption solely out of self interest.

It's also not just Greed's story I think Cinder's is remarkably similar to, but the stories of Ling and Pyrrha and the role they play in Greed and Cinder's stories, as their souls and stories are intrinsically intertwined.

The ouroboros tattoo and its meaning was the first thing that caught my attention, as it the ouroboros symbol represents eternal cyclical renewal. Of life, death and rebirth. And how that aligns with Pyrrha's incantation used to unlock Jaune's aura:

"For it is in passing we achieve immortality. Through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul, and by my shoulder, protect thee"

Cinder also has a tattoo of her own symbol that appears after connecting to Amber's soul and taking half of her power, just like the ouroboros tattoo appearing after Greed and Ling's souls were intertwined and he had taken over his body. Cinder takes the other half of the maiden powers after Pyrrha had been bound to them as her and Amber's aura were intertwined, making it likely that Pyrrha is a part of Cinder in the same way Greed and Ling are.

Both Pyrrha and Ling are considered to be people in positions of power and prestige with great expectations placed on them that they intend to live up to. Ling as an Xingese prince, Pyrrha as a world renowned champion fighter and promising huntresses, the "invincible girl". Both agree to becoming a maiden/homuculus respectively, despite the inhumane means of doing so and risk to their body, soul and life, as they believe obtaining this power will help their people.

"We can't transfer Amber's power to you but we can give you what those powers are bound to."

"Her aura"

"Her life... would become intertwined with yours. The question is-"

"What's that gonna do to you?" - (RWBY Volume 3 Chapter 6)

Greed and Cinder's stories are body horror stories about what you'll sacrifice for power, and the power they are "gifted" by their masters, Father and Salem, is concentrated in their left arm.

Interestingly, Greed's power that transforms him into an inhuman monster is his "Ultimate Shield" that makes him invulnerable, which is the exact opposite of the "power" that Salem grants Cinder that slowly crawls up her left arm threatening to turn her into a monster makes her more vulnerable than most, because she doesn't have aura to protect those parts of her.

Both Greed and Cinder are the most defiant of their masters wishes, and often Father and Salem experience losses and failures because they underestimated Greed and Cinder's ambition. What should have been an easy win at Haven for Salem failed because Cinder was overly ambitious in her need to to win, to feel powerful, and Greed's betrayal of Father is simply because his own ambition is greater than his, thus he would never be content to work underneath him, to be less than him.

Both are charismatic individuals and good at convincing others to work with them. They like to surround themselves with others and both are the only ones under Father/Salem to have their own subordinates (Wrath doesn't count since it was always Father's intention to have him become Fuhrer). Despite them clearly needing human connection, their relationship with their loyal subordinates we are introduced to alongside them is... Not Super Great. They might care about them to a certain degree, but at the end of the day they ultimately view them as useful tools and possessions.

Both of them speak of an emptiness they feel inside of them:

"All of these souls inside of me, and yet I still feel so... empty"

"It's... an emptiness. It burns. Like a hunger."

It's ultimately Ling thst acts as Greed's consciousness, as when he doesn't show any remorse over killing Bido, the last of the old Greed's followers, on the orders of Father, Ling is the one who drags out all of his repressed emotion, being able to feel his pain and see his memories, he forces Greed to face them and how terribly he treated his "friends", and to reevaluate his priorities and self, pushing him away from Father.

"It's nothing personal. I'm just doing my job. I am sorry, honestly!"

"What have you done, Greed? Are you determined to prove you're a monster? What kind of sick creature... would kill his own friend!?"

"He wasn't my... friend..."

"Then why do you remember him? And are you gonna try and tell me Bido was just making everything up?"

"Those were the last Greed's memories! They're not mine!"

"THEN WHY ARE YOU IN SO MUCH PAIN!?

Pull yourself together, Greed. I'm warning you. I'll take this body back if you drop your guard"

"They aren't mine... Father purified me and purged the old Greed's memories. Those memories aren't a part of me any more!"

"No! You're wrong Greed! It's not that easy! They'll always be a part of you! You can't just erase them from your soul! They were the only part of you that you chose!"

"Look at them! Can you not hear their souls crying out? You abandoned them. Your real family! You threw them away like trash!"

"Fool. If you turned your back on something you wanted, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO CALL YOURSELF GREED!" (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood episode 44, Greed and Ling)

If Pyrrha were to return, it's likely she would manifest and communicate more directly with Cinder than maiden predecessors usually do (though in all fairness we don't know the details of if maiden predecessors do or not), being more similar to Ozpin and Oscar's situation, rather than just being a part of her soul, because of how unnatural her interference with the fall maiden's power transfer was. The way Ozpin looks and speaks about it makes it clear he knows there is a very good chance he was recreating his own curse the GoL bestowed on him, and that this isn't like when he was the Hermit, giving his magic happily to the Maidens.

There's also the parallels between Ozma and Pyrrha's situations too, and how readily they accept their mission and fate, and in how they die, and I believe we still haven't seen the full payoff to those parallels with Pyrrha.

When Ozma reincarnates the first time, it's implied that he completely overtakes Ozma 2.0/ Oisín/Diggs (why do we have so many names for him), having not yet learned how to live with the souls with which he had been paired. It's not until much, much later when Oz is beginning to have doubts about whether he should stay with Salem , but still continues to go along with her plans that Oisín makes himself known, (and we know Ozma isn't used to him communicating with him with how suprised and shaken he is by this, which is strange considering he's been paired with him for a long while, unless Oisín hadn't made himself known before this) and is the one who finally pushes Ozma to leave Salem.

"What are we doing?"

With Cinder returning to Salem's side, full of doubt of whether she can go through with Salem's plan for her, to hurt and destroy herself for this power, and Emerald and Mecury (probably Neo too) likely betraying and cutting ties with Cinder too, which is going to leave her full of even more doubt, hurt, anger and additional feelings of betrayal and confusion. And more than anything, alone. Which would be the ideal time for Pyrrha to say to Cinder like with Ozma, "What are we doing?" To push her to reevaluate her priorities and self.

Imagine Pyrrha finally being able to manifest or communicate with Cinder, realizing she's bound to the woman who killed her. Knowing her emotions and memories in their entirety, feeling her pain and anger as if it were her own. And Ruby describing her as "Pyrrha thought that if there was even the smallest chance of helping someone that it was a chance worth taking" the Pyrrha who told Jaune "Everyone needs a little help sometimes" understanding what Cinder went through, and that if she couldn't save the world or make it better by attempting to kill Cinder, then, maybe as she is now, the one thing she can do to help save the world, to make it a better place, is by helping Cinder be better, helping her use her talents for good, like a true maiden should? (On a more fun note, imagining Pyrrha deciding to help Cinder but not missing any opportunity to be a playfully snarky little shit towards her. Because what is Cinder gonna do? Kill her again? Like tell me Pyrrha would not Do Both. And Cinder's not sure which she hates more: Pyrrha teasing her or feeling sorry for her)

Another interesting thing is how in The World of RWBY: The Official Companion states that Salem's goal is to possess all four relics, and to absorb the power of all the Maidens, which she means to at some point, absorb Cinder's power. It's likely part of why she favours Cinder and has such an intimate relationship with her (the Relic of Choice might have played a role in why Salem chose Cinder specifically) That transition of maiden powers from Cinder to Salem would be made much more seamless for Salem if she was grooming Cinder to be more like her, and was slowly becoming more Grimm, if she was treating Cinder like an extension of herself, because to Salem, she would be. Which is again, similar to Father and Greed, as Greed literally was an extension of Father created from him, and absorbed back into him when he became too disobedient and remade and reborn again.

The finale of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood has Father absorbing Greed's philosopher's stone in an attempt to claim his power, but Greed ends up sacrificing himself by inverting his Ultimate Shield inside of Father, making his whole body incredibly fragile and vulnerable so Ed is able to defeat him. In the end, Greed ends up being the key to their victory against Father.

I want to make it clear that I don't personally think RWBY will end with Cinder dying or "defeating" Salem. At least, not in the traditional sense. I can draw as many comparisons as I like between Greed and Cinder but at the end of the day they're two different stories with different themes. And I don't believe that kind of ending would align with RWBY's. One of the themes of Cinder's story is to find a way to keep living no matter what. And as for Salem, the only way she can "die" is to learn the value of life and death, which would require a much more different approach.

But either way, I do believe Cinder will end up being their key to victory one way or another, similar to Greed.

Heaven Are the Ultimate Main Villains            

Yup.

You read that right.

I think, and this is only a hypothesis, but the way Heaven is portrayed as killing demons in Hell due to overpopulation… it seems suspicious and sinister.  So, I believe by the final season, we will learn that Heaven (or God) is ultimately the main villain. 

Also, I’m a conspiracy nutcase so yeah. lo

How do you do, fellow conspiracy nut? 

If heaven and God turned out to be to be the main villains in Hazbin Hotel, I wouldn’t be in the least bit be suprised. Look what they send down to "solve" Hell’s overpopulation problem every year. These things are supposed to be angels and yet, they’re more threatening and dangerous than most of the demon's we’ve seen down there.  

I’ve gotten more and more open to the idea that heaven will turn out to be Charlie’s biggest problem when it comes to redeeming demons because it’s nothing like how she, or we, envision heaven to be like but instead, how the Westboro Baptist Church envision heaven to be like. Or other words, a hyper-dictatorial cult leaders wet dream, with a ridiculous set of standards, a cut-throat attitude regarding who gets in and who doesn’t where sins are not forgiven.To the point where I’m almost completely convinced this the direction the show will go. Because it brings up the topic of radical religious beliefs vs morden society and our own beliefs. Showing the negative aspects of religion if it’s followed to an extreme and how some teachings again, if followed to an extreme (not every everyone who’s religious agree with the likes of Westboro Baptist church, thank god) contradict with civil and human rights,  And again, those “angels” do not look like they were sent by a caring, all-loving god.

This went over my head at first, because everyone who had been confirmed to be LGBT+ at the time, except Charlie, all had an obvious reason as to why they were in hell. But quite a few people pointed out to me that being LQBT+ could be a reason why people are sent to hell in Hazbin’s Hotel’s universe because their heaven follows an extreme form of Christianity. That would explain the overpopulation problem on it’s own. But if in Hazbin’s world, people are sent to hell just for being gay, imagine how many other “sins” a person can be damned for? And don’t even get me started on if people were sent to hell for not following god or not believing in one specific religion, it would be raining people down there every single day.

I’m also starting to think, in Hazbin’s world, all sin is punished the same regardless of reason or circumstance because of characters like Husk and Tom Trench. 

Tom doesn’t seem to be that bad a guy, at least in comparison to everyone else. The worst thing he did in the pilot was be make a perverted comment similar to half of Angel Dust’s dialogue. Unless he’s a news reporter version of Harvey Winestien, which I doubt, the only thing I can think of that would have got him into hell was that he fought in a war. Tom’s design heavily indicates that he died in WWI. He probably had to kill, A LOT, when he was on the battlefield and that’s how I think ended up in hell. 

Same thing goes for Husk, to an extent. I’ve seen a lot of people talking about Husk being a confirmed war veteran. I haven’t found anything about it on the wikki or anything but it would make sense. Because was in his 70′s when he died in the 1970′s, Husk could have been the right age to be drafted in WWII. Husk is a bitter man, with a devil may care attitude and both a gambling and drinking problem. If heaven is a place casts people out for the most minor of “sins” the drinking and gambling would have sent him down anyway but if it didn’t, I think this would have. Unless Husk made a deal with Alastor when he was alive or something idk 😗

When fighting in a war, these men would have been in situations where they had no choice other to take peoples lives, but to heaven, that might not matter. They still killed people, so they were sent to hell with all the other murderers. Maybe even ignoring all the factors that made people feel they needed to go to war or join the military, or if they even had a choice, and only focus on the fact did. This could be only one example of heaven solely focusing on what people did instead of considering why they did it.

Condemed even for a reason might have been beyond a person’s control or damned for the smallest of reasons or things that shouldn’t ever be a reason. Either way, I really do think this is a concept the show could explore. Heaven could very well turn out to not be the utopia or the solution Charlie wants it to be.

What if there was a mall based episode of pokemon adventures?

Ps: im on limited juice on what exactly happened after the episode of "practically pikachu" so if anything seemed off, thats why. I can only have so much spoilers.

This is a really REALLY long post, i did my best and added some wholesome satogou moments cause why not. I hope you enjoy ^.^

!!!!!SPOILER WARNING BTW!!!!!!! If that wasn't obvious.

.....(I can't do the read more thing on mobile, so stick with me here.)

So the Professor finds out about some mysterious instances of this shopping district being haunted or constantly full of mischief. So of course he sends Gou and Ash to check it out. Of course Koharu/chloe ends up tagging along with her pokemon, out of curiostiy. Of course something is seemingly following them from behind, and you hear a cute little giggle.

At first, its all nice and fun. They go sight seeing, getting a bit distracted here and there. Gou and koharu do a bit of dress up, and Ash is stuck having to be refferee on who dressed up better. You get some cute satogou moments, and some wholesome koharu and gou rivalry. Before....

The lights start to flicker..

And things go south.

See, before they got to the mall, there was a warning the Professor gave them before the went on their journey. The mall had been abandoned not to long ago, as Pokemon have been infesting it and taking over. Poison types, gost types, what ever dangers you could think of. It used to be very popular, attracting all kinds of mons and trainers from across the globe. Sadly, it had to shut down.

He told them to be careful, and stay on their guard. They did the complete opposite of that, and got distracted.

The light shuts down, and their in complete darkness. Bit of twist, but Koharu brings out a flashlight, then makes a sly remark on how reckless the two are getting. Followed by a slightly agitated gou, though ash doesn't seem to mind. Instead he focuses on another thing.

Wheres.. Pikachu?

Actually... Where is all of their pokemon?

Ash makes a slightly panicked remark about this... Slightly... PanicKEd.. ReSpoNse.. Then everyone starts to freak out. Then the lights suddenly turn on and everywhere around them seems like a battle field. Clothing racks are rolled over, there's some string from some bug pokemon, lying around and some other attack residues from not only their pokemon, but possibly other poison, or dark types. if the situation couldn't get bad enough.

They call out their pokemon names to no evail. The mall is big, even with the 3 of them, they cant possibly cover all the ground. They've only explored basically half of the entire mall.. Or atleast half of what they thought was the entire mall.

Gou gets a bit pessimistic, worrying if they where taken by some baddies like team rocket, or hurt, mabye even kidnapped!! While ash is a bit optimistic, saying they probably got away, or are off fighting them now, and winning!

Koharu though.. Shes not focused on any of that. The patterns of pokemon attack residue.. Shows a winding trail leading off into the bigger part of the mall. Making her even more curious than before..

She turns around to she ash and gou sending out their pokemon from their pokeball, luckily, who ever this was didn't think to take those. Gou explains that the mall is big, and they need as much help as they can get.

So for awhile, we see interactions with their pokemon, looking around, in union or in chaos. Slowly exploring the rest of the mall.

But.. Never once, do we stop seeing all these things happen, in someone elses pov....

We see things from the ground floor, behind clothes, in the ceiling... Anywhere.

Every now and then, we get a faint giggle.. Usually when gou is on screen.

At this point they scaled almost the entire mall. Every now and then finding little things. Nothing to eventful. But no matter what, it all keeps leading then to the same point.

Some random door that says "Antiques" on it, in this freakishly terrifying place. The area is the most rusted, old, and overall creepy place. Inside theres smashed pots and this place has alot of scratch marks and decay. The mall may be abandoned, but not for a very long time. This place looks like it has been there for decades, as if it didn't belong there. You could see a lot of struggle, with some old scratch marks and some strangely.. Fresh ones.

Everyone's tired, and worried, and a bit frightened. Though koharu.. She seems more than excited, it wss her own little adventure. It was nice. Of course, she still worried for her poor yamper.. But she couldn't help but be a bit excited too.

During the whole montage, they'd find some fur from pickachu, yamper or eevee. Sometimes left over pokefood or some old remains of what looks to be pokemon battles. Sometimes they saw some old pokeball, abandoned or even smashed. And even noticed some of the Pokemon that had been watching them through cracks or corners, or under floorboards.

Ash and gou finally catch up to koharu, who has been waiting for them in this creepy antique store. Aimlessly wandering about, searching the place. With the whole gang reunited, they discuss what they found, with koharu piecing it togther.

It seems this antique store looked to be the meeting place for who ever stole their pokemon. They show koharu some of the pokeballs they found lying about, some customized, broken and old. None of them have no strange brandings like "R" on it. Meaning people had their pokemon taken, but not by our common baddies. They found some evidence of pokemon battles, some of the tracks still fresh. Meaning they just left recently, probably during when they got here. That would explain why they kept feeling like they where being followed. They're probably all hiding.

But that doesn't explain why they'd take their pokemon or why it lead them in the antique store of all places. Ash suggests that they should look around here too, find some secret lever or something. Goh agrees, but dismisses the thought that someone would have a secret lever in a antique portion of the mall, then again.. Who has an antique store in a mall??

While they're searching for hidden compartments,

They hear a quick "PIKAA!!" Following a loud bang noise. Sending them all to a panic. Ash locates the sound, and moves one of the shelves. Surprise, Surprise, its a secret compartment. Its pitch black and you can't see a thing. Before ash can jump head first into whatever is happening down there, gou catches him. Followed by koharu, taking out that trusty flashlight, and beaming the light on the creepy old stairs. Seemingly going no where but down.

They quickly and carefully descend the stairs, though their all trying to act brave to lift up on another, you can tell everyone is absolutely terrified.

Then they find a light, like an entrance to some room. The hallway was dim and you could see pipes and some garbage, puddles, e.c.t. Gou runs towards the persumed, but ash catches him. He almost fell into a hole, without Realizing it. Koharu goes infront of gou, with the flashlight beaming infront of her.

Cut to a scene of pikachu. He's charging up a weak electric attack, and looks pretty beaten up. So does the rest of the Pokemon. Though, he is doing his best. The basement is pretty big, but its old. Theres some steel pipes that are broken and bent, scratches and marks everywhere on the wall. Its dark, with only a few lights, struggling to illuminate the room.

You can't tell how many pokemon are there, but there are many glowing eyes all around. There are many different kinds of pokemon. Seemingly coming from all different regions too. They don't seem freindly.

Eevee starts to yell out, angered and fustreated. To their suprising, a quick "umberon~" came rom the darkness.

You can see its shiny yellow rings, glowing in the darkness. It yells back at eevee, hitting the ground over and over with its tiny paws. As if it was trying to prove a point, trying to get eevee to fight like their pikachu did. Taunting them.

The umberon wears some kingly robe it got from a costume part of the mall, presumably the halloween section. Category: medieval.

Yamper could see eevee's eagerness to fight, so he lets out a bark of concern. He's huddled next to pikachu, who still wants to keep going. Determined, to stop them.

Whenever eevee hesitates to attack, umberon lets out a disappointed purr, and attacks them with a weak attack, but it stings either way. It wants a fair fight afterrall.

This was an insult to them. A fellow umberon., using smaller pokemon to rank them up, forcing them to train with them, untill they tire out. All these pokemon henchmons had some kind of scar, or evidence of training. Even the umberon had one. Most of them evolved, seemingly living in the mall, as some are wearing human items like sunglasses, or badazzled items too look cooler.

Then they hear a quick "EEVEE! WHERE'D YOU GO?!" And "PIKACHU! ARE YOU GUYS ALRIGHT?!"

They look back to see its their trainers! And gou, all rushing towards them. Immediately going into the room to protect them. Along with their summoned pokemon charging up their attacks as well.

Seeing this, umberon is pissed. You can see an onslaught of pokemon, who look just as mad. They where crossing their turf, they had to get out.

Umberon curls into the darkness.. Slowly back away from them, in silence.

Untill a tiny, soft. "Umberon" comes out of its mouth and..

They all start to attack, left, right and center. The whole team is surronded. All the pokemon are uncoordinated, but tankish, so they're pretty easy to take down, but leaves you pretty damaged in the long run.

Eventually, they get rid of most of them. Leaving 5 remaining pokemon left. These five being the strongest out of every pokemon and the biggest. Seemingly been in charge for a long time. Basically, its the boss fight.

The pokemon tired them out, and theres not much they can do at this point. Of course they fight, but get taken down, one by one, with ease.

Leading to the grand finale. Everyones on their knees, but still staying strong.

Umberon and its team start to charge this giant attack, thats going blast them into bits and peices.

They charge the attack, for longer and longer and longer. Getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger untill it basically becomes a giant wall. Then they release it. Going full blast at not only the entire team, but the Pokemon behind them that attacked them as well.

The was no where to go.

Pokemon where behind them, and infront.

What do you do then?

Just take it?

Like that?

...

Everyone throws their hand infront of their faces. Away from this giant charge attack, heading towards them in what seems to be slow motion. Some pokemon are running away, others are just watching this happen.

Its a pretty big basement.

Pretty dangerous basement too.

....

Gou looks back for a split second.

And a familiar sound plays out.

A tiny..

little..

giggle.

And then it just stops.

The attack was stuck in place..

...

Then suddenly, behind them in the darkness...

From the entrance of where they came..

Glowing eyes emerge, with a silent.. "Mew!"

And the whole attack backfires onto the 5 pokemon with one, full, swoop.

The place collapses onto them. Knocking 4 pokemon unconscious, except for that..

That..

Umberon.

With the only expression on its face being absolute RAGE.

Everyone starts running out, a bunch of pokemon try to help move the 4 unconscious ones, and umberon runs in the opposite direction, into what might be their secret escape route. They look back, at the commotion.

The 3 little humans and their pokemon are running out, even picking up some of the pokemon, who attacked them, and helping them run away from the collapsing area.

Umberon sees this. But looks away. Muttering a "umber.." Before leaving. This wasn't the last of them.

Everyone safely makes it out of the mall, alive.

Everyone is tired, exhausted and hurt.

They look up to see the many battle scars of all the pokemon, who are just lying around, not knowing what to do anymore without a leader.

Some a bickering and arguing, some are confused and tired, others are just watching from afar.

Eeveee jumps out of koharu's hands, and onto some tall boxes and rocks lying about near he store. They yell out a "EEVEE!!" Which everyone quiets down immediately. They even stiffen up, as if they where trained to do that by the umberon. Which startles eevee and makes them feel uncomfortable.

Ash stands up, looking at his poor pikachu, for a bit. Its smiling, with its eyes closed. Ash gives them a concerned, but soft smile. He tells everyone that they should all go to a pokecenter, and get some rest. The pokemon try to argue, not wanting to go and to wait for their umberon, but they see eevee is following ash, and they end up following along.

Gou runs up to ash and softly pats ash's shoulder, and gives him a soft, but concerned look. Only followed by a smile. Then everyone starts following them to pokemon center.

It cuts to scene, where they show the pokemon center for a sky view. Its night time and everyone is tired. a bunch of the nurses and doctors are taking care of the many pokemon without question.

Ash is sitting there, next to his pikachu, with gou is standing right beside him, and koharu is somewhere off with her pokemon as well. They all have some bandages here and there, on their knees or hands, just watching as nurse joy takes care of pikachu.

She asks what the three of them had done to get not only so many injured pokemon, but get this pikachu in the state its in now.

They explained to the nurse about the whole incident, with this umberon and a giant battle in a basement, and a this abandoned pokemon infested mall. How the umberon acted and all the Pokemon who teamed up agasint them.

Nurse joy recognizes the umberon, to their suprise.

She explains its not the first time shes heard of this umberon. Apparently, its trainer had abandoned it when it was a little eevee. She said that they'd capture pokemon who they saw great potential and power in. One day, the eevee's win streak went away, losing many battles every single day. Thats when they abandoned them, or atleast, thats what they say.

Ash mutters a quick and angered response of why someone would do such a thing.

Nurse joy looks at ash and gou sadly, then returns back to what she was doing. She doesn't know why someone would do that. Though, she tells them she always used to see that same eevee in the pokecenter constantly. For some reason, the pokemon really loved their trainer, to the point of exhaustion. When it got abandoned, it probably took it personally. Who knows though, that umberon is quite the mystery. Some people even tried to catch it seeing how strong it was, but they'd never succeed.

She pauses what shes doing to ask if ash doesn't mind leaving his pikachu here for the night. Its pretty injured, and needs some rest. She wants to be able to take care of it, in case it needs extra care. She says he can see them tomorrow, as it might feel better by then.

He sadly agrees, and they go home for the night.

Here, we get a nice scene, just to calm things doen a bit. The 2 boys put on their cozy pajamas, and get ready to go to bed.

We see koharu in her bedroom, with her pjammas on, petting her yamper who has a cute little "get well soon!!" Sticker, stuck on his forehead, and he has his younger sticking out, as he sleeps. She doing one of those lo-fi girl poses, as she writes in her journal about her day, as a moonlight shines on her, through her window.

We see gou sleeping on the bottom bunk this time, since he's too tired to try to climb to the top. Ash isn't in bed though. He's looking out through the window of the room. With the moonlight coming through. He's tired and exhausted, but still worried for pikachu. Gou notices he's not in bed yet, asking if he's alright. Ash doesn't give a response, he just continues staring.

So gou walks up to him, and ash speaks a bit low. He wonders if pikachu is alright, and the umberon too. The umberon was hurt too, they could've helped it.

Gou looks at him, then out the window. "Sometimes you cant save everyone, and you cant help those that don't want to be helped."

He smiles brightly at ash. "Like catching pokemon!" Ash is confused, but he tries his best to understand. "Sometimes pokemon want to be caught, and some don't. All that matters is that you tried, right?"

Ash looks at gou, and smiles back. Then looks at the window, still smiling "Yeah, you're right.. Do you think pikachu will be okay though?"

Gou softly pats him on the back. He tries his best to comfort ash. "Yeah, i think so."

It goes quiet for a bit. And it zooms out as they both look out at the window.8

With that, it ends here.

This is the prologue of a story I made up. Should I post it somewhere?

''We need you to sell your kids to us.'' A police officer, speaking for the government told four pairs of parents. ''We want to sacrifice four kids to Melanie. See if she stops living in the cursed village.''

''Hold on!'' Gordon yelled. ''Who's this Melanie you're talking about. And why do you want to sacrifice our children to her?'' He seethed.

''Oh, you don't know about Melanie's place?'' The agent asked in suprise.

''Why else would I ask?'' Gordon grumbled, after rudely getting hushed by his wife, Kina.

''Oh, okay then..'' The officer uncomfortabelly shifted around. ''Well, I'll tell you the legend of Melanie's place.

So, a long time ago a seven-year-old girl named Melanie Monix lived in a small village called Wheldrake. It was nice village, people were very polite and the crime rate was low. Not many people lived there though. The reason for that was that next to the village was a huge forest. The forest was believed to be filled with creatures such as witches, werewolves, mermaids, anything you could imagine at the time. Brave adventurers who entered never returned. People in the village feared in the forest, and forbade anyone from entering it. So was Melanie. But Melanie was quite an adventurous girl. She went against her parents' words and sneaked out at night to enter the forest. It was dark and foggy, making it impossible for any of the villagers to see her sneaking out. And so Melanie sneaked into the forest without trouble.

The next morning Melanie's parents woke everyone in town up in a panic. Melanie had disappeared, she was nowhere to be found. Everyone scowered the village, only to realise that Melanie had probably entered the forest. Melanie's parents suffered great grief and fell into depression. The rest of the village started preparing Melanie's funeral, seen as she was very popular among them. A week before the funeral was held, something odd happened. Melanie returned from the forest. Nothing seemed to be wrong with her, but she just had this haunting look in her eyes, which said 'I know exactly what you guys were doing.''. People were happy that Melanie returned and went on with life. Kids were sent to school, parents went to work.

People thought everything had returned to normal, but they were so wrong. On the day that funeral would've happened, Melanie woke up with a crazed look in her eyes. Her parents got worried and tried to sent in to the docter, but instead ended up getting dragged to cementry. Villagers were wondering what was going on and followed. Once they arrived at the cementry, Melanie's parents noticed that something was very wrong. Melanie stood comepletely still, the villagers curiosly crowding around her. She chuckled before turning around, scaring everyone. Melanie's eyes had turned a deep shade of red, her hair was white. Her teeth seemed to have sharpened, while her nails resembled a demon's claws. The girl giggled once again before floating into the air and sending an unforgivable curse upon Wheldrake, killing all villagers, aside from the kids. After killing most of Wheldrake's population, Melanie simply grinned before floating away. She ended up settling down in Godric's castle, situated in the forest, where she is assumed to live 'till this day.

These days, Melanie floats around her forest. She creeps up to her victims, tourists most of the time, and possesses them. She takes them to her castle, where she tortures them before killing them, and then hangs their bodies on trees.'' The officer concluded, sighing. ''Each and every year we offer four seven-year-olds in order for Melanie to kill all of the world, do you accept our offer?''

All parents looked at each other in shock, or rather, fear. Gordon was fuming while Kina just cried. Other parents were too busy consoling each other to even care what was going on.

''I'll offer you ten million per kid.'' The officer told the parents. ''So once again, do you accept our offer?''

''Should we do this?'' Kina asked her husband. Kina and Gordon had been finacially challeged for a couple of years, Soren's birth wasn't helping either. Seen as the both of them were almost going bankrupt, it was an extremely good offer, but giving your kids to some moster..?

''I don't know, dang it!'' Gordon cursed, not knowing what to do. ''I was not waiting for such a sh!tty decision!''

''W-we'll do it.'' A more heldback female said. Her name was Sarah, wife of Don Brown. They also had been finicially challenged for multiple decades, and decided giving away Mandy was the best option. ''Please take great care of my poor girl, okay?'' She sadly smiled as she received the money.

''Nathalie's brat anyway.'' James Raider grunted, his wife, Monica, agreeing. The money was thrown at his face whilst he smiled in saticvictory. ''Worth it, where should we dumb the brat?''

''You're so insensitive!'' Haley Dalom glared at the man. ''I will send my son, Brandon, in. Just to keep an eye on your poor daughter. You are such a bad parent.'' Haley was a single mom, quite rich too. Haley sighed in frustation as she received the money giving it to Sarah, whom she was best friends with.

''Well if everyone else is doing it..'' Kina mumbled, glancing at her husband, who nodded. ''We'll do it too.'' She sighed in dispair, Gordon putting his arms around his wife to comfort her. Kina received the money, handing it to Gorden, who just stared at it.

''Thank you for your sacrifices. We hope you understand our reasoning.'' The officer said as he left, leaving the parents to grief for themselves.

Getting back into reading!!!!

For about two years now reading has been hard for me. Even though for most of my life, ever since I learned to read as a kid, I have devoured book after book after book, usually several per month. But for some reason for the past two years I could bearely get through one book every two months.

But two months ago I finally got my reading fire back. Huzzaah! And the book that got me fired up again was (to my utmust and complete surprise and even a little frustration and dissapointment) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. One of my best friends was doing a re-read and ofcourse the re-read bug bit me too.

When I read this book for the first time 4 years ago, I read it like a masterpiece and loved it so much that I immediatly ordered the second; A Court of Mist and Fury. Which at the time also felt like a masterpiece to me. The second time I read these books was right before the third came out; A court of Wings and Ruin, a book I’d been waiting for and marked in my dairy and even pre-ordered. 

So the second time I read ACOTAR, I was slightly dissapointed because I no longer got the rush from it like I did the first time I read it. And to my memory it felt bland next to how I remembered how ACOMAF made me feel, which read like a train the second time I read it, even though I started noticing some small things that bothered me. So eventually I got to the third book; A Court of Wings and Ruin. Which was definitly disapointing to me, even reading it for the first time. I was expecting to love it.

Now, we are a few years later and I’ve just read ACOTAR and ACOMAF all over again. And I’m grateul to these books for getting me into reading again. And to my surprise, this time I preferred ACOTAR over ACOMAF. (MINDBLOWN!)

I no longer think this series is a masterpiece (anything but) but it’s an easy read, you don’t need to think too hard, the writing is pretty simple and sometimes even pretty. The plot is never complicated and, honestly, I do love myself some good smut. 

ACOTAR

So ACOTAR Round 3: I really liked it best this time. Especially because the plot is so much smoother than ACOMAF and ACOWAR, and most important, it’s THERE, it’s visible, it’s noticable. Every little thing the characters do, especially Lucien and Tamlin, make sense at some point. Things just click once you get to Under The Mountain. And I love that in books! Books that leave hints for you to pick up on (or not), so nothing seems like its a sudden *gasp* suprise! I mean, plot twists are fantastic, but only if they’re executed well. When you feel something coming or you pick up the bread-crumbs left througout the story, and even though you don’t know how to put them together yet, you know they mean something and it will make sense in the end. And ACOTAR gave me this! It all made sense in the end:

-The mention of Tamlin’s heart of stone several times

- The vague mentions of a plague or blight on the land

- Lucien and Tamlin purposely letting her spy and figure things out on her own

 You know, those little things, that all become more logical at the end. I really appreciate that in a book. 

The Love story between Tamlin and Feyre was also nice. It’s wasn’t great but it wasn’t bad either. I’m still not sure if Tamlin truly loves her but I do believe he cares about her a lot in this book. After all, he is being nice to her on purpose and that purpose is to save his people and ending a curse. So does he love Feyre or does he love what she could represent for the future of his people? But I am convinced he cares about her lot, otherwise he wouldn’t have send her away before UTM to save her and so condemn his own people. So maybe there was some love in the end.

The ending itself was great. I loved that Feyre ended up solving the riddel, I only thought the riddle was a little obvious? I mean, I figured it out before Feyre did (even at the first read), but being good or bad at riddles isn’t something I can judge a person for. I think it was amazing Feyre died before being Made Fae, even if, secretely, I would have loved for her to have stayed human. That would have been an interesting story too.

There were definitly consequences for the main characters to work through at the end of the book. Something I looked forward too in book 2. And each character has their good parts and bad parts and the writing accepts that and doesn’t apolagize for it. No one loves perfect characters (looking at you ACOMAF Rhys and Feyre!). 

So I finished ACOTAR with a happy feeling.

ACOMAF

On to ACOMAF, knowing that I loved it in Round 1, was dissapointed in Round 2. And in Round 3 I found myself somewhere in between love and disapointment.

Things I loved (because you always start with the positive:

- The slowburn romance building. Was it eye-rolling at times? Definitly. it’s not my favorite romance couple of all books (Phèdre and Jocelin from Kushiel’s Dart *chef’s kiss*) but I liked how it build slowly and how both of them were given the time to get to know eachother. 

- The Inner Circle. Always nice to welcome new characters into a story. I love their love and friendship, their banter in amusing, and I’m a sucker for found family.

- Learning more about Prythian. We go to so many more places then in ACOTAR. In ACOTAR we only got the human realm, Tamlin’s Mansion and Under The Mountain. In ACOMAF we get Spring Court, Human Realm, Night Court, Velaris, The Prison, Weaver’s Hut, Illyrian places, and (most importantly!) Adriata. So many Courts out there and we are now on Court 3! So much more to explore!

- Lucien. I just really like his character. He’s both a good guy and a bad one. He tries. He wants to be loyal to his only friend, support him and help him, and that is so admirable, but at the cost of Feyre. Which is bad. He is just so conflicted. The right thing to do is not so easy from his point of view. For Feyre it’s easy: yes, he should just help her and stand up for her. But from his own point of view he sees a Court, his Court, that has been devastated for 50 years, his friend comes back broken and in pieces, and in the end he’s only known Feyre for 6 months or so? I understand him chosing the Spring Court and Tamlin before anything else. Even if it’s terrible for Feyre. And it does makes him something of a coward. But he tries to the best of his abilities, even if it’s not enough. I love the duality of Lucien. This is what makes a character interesting: the good AND the bad. Because he did, UTM, help Feyre as much as Rhys did. He healed her, warned her during the Myddengard Wyrm thing. He tried. But he’s not al all powerful High Lord who has somewhat gained the trust of Amarantha.

And in ACOMAF he still tries though it’s obvious he’s chosen Tamlin. He’s allowed to do that, even if it makes him an awefull friend towards Feyre. It doesn’t make him a terrible villain monster. 

The only thing agree with does make him the worst, is him trying to force Feyre to go back with him in the woods. And yet he did that for Tamlin. All of it, all of what he does, is (in his mind) in the name of friendship and protecting his Court. The goal is good, the means are wrong. 

Anyway I like Lucien, even if we didn’t get much of him in ACOMAF.

The things I was dissapointed in (because hate is too strong a word):

- The drama of everything. Everyone gets a sob story, a horrible painful sobstory, because that’s the only way to know if you can like and trust someone I guess? Rhys’s father, mother and sister are murdered, Mor was tortured and brutalized by her own family, Cassian is a bastard that had to fend for himself nearly to starvation, Azriel is a bastard brutalized by his borthers and ignored by his family, and Feyre fits right in I guess. I know it’s fantasy, but please, does no one get a happy childhood in this book? I’d like to include Amren but we really don’t know much about her at this point and we don’t learn much more either.

- Taking away Rhys’s bad boy points??? It made him as interesting as Lucien in my book, the bad he’s done. Why does everything that he did Under The Mountain have to because a ‘Mask’ now. What made him so interesting was because he did all those things thinking he maybe liked them. Now we need to find out he was suffering all along and didn’t want to do it. He just had to to protect his people. I mean, make some things a ‘Mask’ but maybe leave us some bad things because he enjoys them?

- Which leads me to the third things that I disliked: the constant comparison to Tamlin. Suddely, all the good things about Tamlin in ACOTAR disapeared, and Tamlin becomes monster villain number 1 with no good qualities whatsoever. I totally agreed with Feyre staying away from Tamlin for awhile, but to just never go back again? Once she felt like she was strong enough to talk to him, she should have. Was Tamlin in the wrong with how he treated Feyre, YES ABSOLUTELY. But she could have gone back, with Rhys and the Innder Circle for back-up, and sat down with him to talk to him about it. I wish an attempt was made. But I think we all know that Sarah just needed us to hate Tamlin to make Rhys look more perfect. Feyre shouldn’t go back to Tamlin, after Under The Mountain, they’rr not good for eachother. But Tamlin doesn’t know Rhys is secretly a good guy. Feyre got to know him but no one else in Prythian knows Rhys is just pretending. So it’s incredibly ridiculous to assume that Tamlin knows Rhys is good? Rhys behaved like a villain in public on purpose and it worked. And now they are surprised eveyron thinks Rhys is a villain? Of course Tamlin and Lucien believe Feyre is being controlled or manipulated. It’s why I can understand why they want to force her to come back. they truly don’t know any better.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Feyre complains how Tamlin never asked her how she felt or how he never wanted to talk abou what happened UTM, but she never asked him either. So this shit goes both ways. I feel for Tamlin and I feel for her. They BOTH couldn’t talk about it but everything gets blamed on Tamlin because his behaviour is more outrageous. She should have gone back (WITH BACK-UP) and talked to him. Would have prevented the weird ending

- And that leads me to the ending. Did anyone really think it would be that simple? Just sneak in and out and that’s that? Like. I love clues in books, but this really screamed TRAP AHEAD *Leliane voice is DA Origins*. Also, Rhys is supposed to be the most powerful High Lord ever, but he’s really easy to subdue and trick. I mean, the King of Hybern is supposedly a warlord of masterful cunning....

 And the fact they left Amren in Velaris. Everyone seems to agree she’s even more powerful than Rhys. They should have left Mor and Cassian in Velaris and taken Amren and the King of Hybern would have died then and there. Making stupid decisions to further the plot is not fun to read. Write better! But then again, ACOMAF was never really about the plot so if you read this book accepting it’s all about romance building and some smut, it’ll be easier. It’s what I did :P

And some minor annoyances:

- I feel liked everyone’s going to find love in these books. Because being single is BAD I guess. It’s too convenient.

- I would have loved for one weaker character to be in the Inner Circle. Not everyone can be overpowered. Where are my bookworms that make plans and don’t have flashy powers that can make mountains tremble when they orgasm?

- Velaris was too modern? I miss a more fae place? Less with bars and dancings and stores selling lacey underwear? Feyre in leggings and an over-sized sweater annoyed me. Seriously.

And that’s that.

I’m so happy to be reading again! And writing about reading ><

Next is A Court of Wings and Ruin. 

[kirnet]

Spice mining was not kind to Kirnet. 

Hell, it wasn’t kind to anyone. After long hours of grueling labor, it wasn’t uncommon for miners to die on the spot of exhaustion or outright killed for taking too many breaks. There was no shortage of bodies to replace them. More than once, Kirnet had returned to work after a break to find a completely new person in her mining partner’s place. She never mentioned it, and neither did they. 

No one kriffing cared about space miners. 

Which is why, even though it was unkind, it suited Kirnet just fine. 

It didn’t matter how much she hated to lift and pull with muscles that had always had help from the Force. It didn’t matter how her once-soft hands calloused, how her lungs rattled from breathing in so much spice dust, how she hardly had a moment's rest. 

It didn’t matter how the only thing she could feel anymore was the heavy ache in her limbs. 

No one cared about spice miners, which means no one asked questions. No one needed to know she was a fabled war hero (or criminal, both fit the bill), and no one asked. Plenty of the other miners had the same hollow look in their eyes that she did, either from years of work or loss from war. Friendly people with normal lives didn’t leave Republic space to mine spice on a backwater planet. Only people with something to hide did. 

Without the Force, she was completely unremarkable to them. It was something she wasn’t used to (she was Revan’s left hand, after all), but something she certainly didn’t mind. 

Revan...

“I heard Revan’s gone crazy. Just showed up again in Republic space and declared war.”

Kirnet’s spoon stopped halfway to her mouth. The ratty dining hall was packed to the brim, the thunderous conversation over the miner’s daily swill almost drowning out the words she was sure she just heard. Slowly, she continued the slop’s trajectory to her unwilling mouth, her head tilted slightly towards the conversation. 

“That’s a load of bantha shit!” one of the miners exploded. “Revan was a hero, she wouldn’t just-“

“Are you calling me a liar?”

“He’s telling the truth. I’ve got family in Republic space... it’s a bloodbath. Revan and Malak are killing the same people they went off to protect.”

The dining hall erupted in a new wave of arguments, of “Lies!” and “I knew the Jedi couldn’t be trusted.” But Kirnet had stopped listening, her lips still closed around the chipped spoon. If Revan and Malak were back...

She stood so abruptly that the table rattled, but no one noticed her rush from the hall with all the commotion. She had heard through a network of gossip that Revan and Malak had left Republic space with a full fleet, though no one understood why. They certainly hadn’t made any effort to find her after Malachor. But surely her friends, who had risked everything defying the council to save the Republic, wouldn’t just turn around and destroy it. 

Or maybe Rev would. As close as Kirnet was to her, she never truly knew what Revan was thinking under her calm façade. She was always plotting, thinking twenty steps ahead, a stoic frown on her face as she considered all the possibilities (before she wore that damned mask all the time.) Was the war a ploy for power? A perfect opportunity to reshape the galaxy in her image? The Jedi corpses littering Malachor on Revan’s order certainly helped that theory. 

Though Kirnet had been the one to fire the Mass Shadow Generator and kill her comrades. She had agreed to do it, despite knowing full well the outcome (well, the intended outcome for the planet, at least. Her own side effects were a suprise.) Had Revan played her and left her to rot after she was no longer useful?

No. Revan was her friend. She was... more than that. Kirnet was not a pawn, she was a willing participant. 

Maybe that’s worse. 

She sped towards her shared barracks, too caught up in her thoughts to notice any looks as she stomped along, looking all too much like a general. Luckily, her room was empty, her bunkmates probably engrossed in the lively discussion at the dining hall. Breathing a sigh of relief, she locked the door behind her. 

Kirnet hadn’t tried to reach out to the Force since her exile. The memory of Malachor was too painful. The searing pain in her nerves as the world exploded beneath her, the air ripped from her lungs as the ship lurched and tossed her around, the suddenly mangled engineer trying to help her up when all she could do was scream... She shook her head to clear the thoughts away. She had plenty of other opportunities to dwell on her trauma. She needed answers now. 

Slowly, she brought herself to the floor, kneeling as she had often done with Atris and Kavar back at the temple. It took her a few moments to remember the motions of meditation, but eventually her breathing slowed to almost nothing and her mind went blank. Tentatively, she reached out her hand. 

Where are you, Revan?

Revan’s presence had been a constant sensation during the war. With their bond, Kirnet had always felt exactly where she was in the galaxy. She pushed her mind further, trying to find and grasp that magnetic tether of her old master’s power. But as she reached out as she had done so many times before, there was nothing. No Revan. No Force. Just the blind emptiness that seemed to be Kirnet’s only companion. 

Furrowing her brow, she reached out again, concentrating harder. Revan...

Still nothing. 

Kirnet roared and punched the wall, blinding rage masking the pain. Her bag, filled with her only possessions, was the next victim. As it sailed across the room, she attacked the nightstand, toppling it over. 

Her outburst was over before it even began, though the wreckage suggested a different story. This wasn’t Dxun or Serrecco. Her inanimate victims weren’t the Mandalorians or the Council or the Sith. They were just sad, limp furniture whose damages would come out of her next paycheck. The anger slipped from her body, leaving only exhaustion. Oh, she was so tired. Tired of the pain and the loss and the work. She numbly recalled what seemed to be Atris’ favorite self-important phrase. “Anger leads to the dark side.”

If she could only feel the Force again, she would gladly fall to the dark. At least she might be whole again. At least Revan might be waiting for her. 

A sob ripped from her throat as she looked around the destruction. She sunk once again to the floor, her calloused hands over her eyes as she wept. 

She had always been a shit Jedi. 

At least she was a decent miner.

WHY I THINK THE LAST OF US PART TWO WAS AN AMAZING GAME BOTH STORY WISE AND PLAY WISE

I know a lot of people hated the game and felt like it wasn’t executed the way that it should but I disagree. It might be because I wasn’t waiting for 7 years for the game to come out, I only played the first one less than a year ago so i didn’t have the same expectations.

I think that people see Joels death as poorly executed and some felt like they threw him away, as well as being angry he wasn’t a bigger part of the story. Joel was a huge part of the story on the contrary, i get that he wasn’t a playable character and didn’t accopany the Ellie on her quest for vengance but i think its actually better that way. I love Joel as much as everyone but having him as a compainion would have taken away from her story, her struggles. I’ve heard that people think that the way he died was unlike Joel, and that he wouldn’t be as naïve as they thought he was. Which honestly makes me kinda mad. Joel litterally had no choice, he had just saved a stranger from a horde of infected and she had a place that they could escape from the horde. He didn’t expect to be shot in the knee with a shotgun and beat to death by a girl who he didn’t know prior to him saving her. Even if he did, it wasn’t a situation he could likely get out of alive anyway. Unlike the first game, this group wasn’t spread out and somewhat unaware he was there, they all knew who he was, and were all in the same room, him and Tommy were outnumbered and taken by suprise. Joel would have died either way.

The next thing i know people absolutely hate about the game is the ending, Ellie and Dina are settled down in a farmhouse with their son JJ and are happy, and then Tommy comes to tell Ellie he knows where Abby is. Ellie leaves, knowing she’d lose Dina and JJ if she went after her, and still decided to go. Only to not kill Abby, so she lost her family to go after someone she didnt kill in the end. People understandably were outraged by this and thought Naughty Dog did this for no reason, but there was reason.

Throughout the game if you were really paying attention and thinking about whats going on in the story, you can draw a lot of parallels between Ellie amd Joel. Even though she only knew Joel for around four years, they had a very deep bond and he affected her more than anyone. She experienced his ruthlessness and actions first hand and learned from him, as she never really had much experience with violence beforehand. At first in Part 2 she seems ok with killing and is pretty good at it as well, but unlike Joel, she hasn’t ever really killed for her own reasons outside of survival, shes killing people out of vengance and rage because of Joels death at the hands of the WLF and it starts to affect her. She tortures Nora, which as far as we know shes never had to do before, and it affects her, makes her afraid of herself in a way that she wasnt before, it makes her realize how ruthless shes become. So it would make sense in my mind that after all this killing at Ellies hand that when she finally gets to the end of her mission, she finally gets to Abby, that suddenly its not what she wants anymore. She killed so many people and now while she knows why she did it, she cant find the will to end another life for her own desires. We dont know how we would react in her shoes, how it would affect us or if we would be able to live with it and kill the one person you killed hundereds of people to get to. I dont know about you but i think id be tired of it, still angry and still vengeful, but tired most of all.

To be honest, i understand why they went after Joel. I love him and i cried when he died but their anger at him was understandable. He took away the only people that had a chance at making a vaccine/cure and killed numerous fireflies in the process. We are biased because we watched and played through his story, we loved him, but he wasnt a good person, in this kind of world no one would be.

One of the biggest things on my mind about the story is that while its based around vengance, its also about the consequences of our actions on ourselves and others. The consequences of Joels actions being some of the biggest. By saving Ellie, he doomed humanity and later himself. His actions led to his death years later. But it also strongly affected Ellie obviously. His actions led to her becoming very much like him, killing dozens of people for her own agenda being hard and ruthless and not caring much for others outside of the Jackson community. It led her down a path of violence and death and self destruction. And it continued to when she lost Dina and JJ when she went to kill Abby. She had to learn and lost her everything in the process.

(Sorry im not very good about expressing my thoughts clearly in a way that say exactly what im trying to cause i think more in picture and scenes)

I dont think i really have to go to much into why the gameplay was amazing but i will a little. It still amazes me how natural the character interactions are, and how the relationships weren’t awkward or forced. I also liked how when they had you play Abby, they added little things to make her more human, like her recklessness, fear of hights and her relationships with her group, even that little bit of conflict you can see when she realizes that the person who saved her life was the person she hated the most.

Ok can we TALK about the newer functions tho??? Going prone, UNLIMITED SHIV, and fucking being able to craft motherfucking silencers??? Dont even get me started on how much i love love love the ability to break glass because it made me want to cry i was so happy. Plus how much more open the world was in Part two! Still not really that open but way more than before and was really fun, plus Ellie can finally swim!

As much as i hate Stalkers (those fuckers freak me out) i love how they were more used in a way, not commonly like Runners and Clickers thank god but still a little more used.

Oh! And how machetes and axes and shit have longer use now! I always thought they would be realistically less breakable than wood planks so this made me really happy!

I love the crafting, how you can make more shit now and the upgrade sections for different skills (stealth being my favorites). I also really like the animations when you upgrade your weapons, i think its really cool honestly even tho its such a small part of the game. Another small part i liked was the guitar functions, i think its really awesome and shows a part of Joel she kept with her.

I also really like what the flashbacks added to the story, seeing Ellie and Joels realtionship over the four years and how close they were and how they changed.

I could probably say more but if you read this far i think I probably said enough. These are all my opinions and i know not everyone will agree with them which is totally fine! There is more i most likely forgot and some things i dont know how to phrase right but thanks for suffering through my paragraphs if you’re reading this! :))

[sluttyten]

this is not me calling u out or anything just something i hope ur annons see but calling someone gay is not a bad thing or just “reducing” them to a sexuality lol i wouldnt be suprised if the people pressed about ten gay jokes are straight themselves. if you think that assuming someone’s sexuality is bad then you probably shouldn’t reduce them to straight either because that smells like homophobic😬 if u r straight then just dont interact w gay jokes its thats easy! :)

Speculation on someone’s sexuality, even if everyone’s right and they are actually gay, can still be very harmful to the person. Like if you’re closeted and you don’t want to be outed because you don’t want to risk losing your job or be publicly ridiculed for it because you live and work in a society that’s not really widely welcoming to the LGBT community, then if people are out here speculating that you’re gay and just outright insisting that you’re gay like??? I feel like that would be rather panic-inducing??

And sure maybe rumors like these don’t bother Ten. Maybe if he is gay he doesn’t mind people knowing, maybe it feels good to see people still so supportive of him even though the industry isn’t truly welcoming to gay people. But also maybe if he is gay then seeing people insisting that everything he does is evidence of his sexuality, like when he just does small things and people are like “oh my god ten your gay is showing” wouldn’t you think he feels like he’s being reduced to just his sexuality and people don’t see that he’s so much more than just who he loves? Like when he posts a simple picture from a photoshoot on his Instagram or makes a few music suggestions.

I’m not saying Ten is straight. I’m also not going to say he’s gay. I don’t think any of us are really allowed to make that call because we aren’t Ten. We aren’t his family. We aren’t his friends. We don’t really know him, and we aren’t privy to that personal information. If he ever feels happy and free enough to share with us that he is in fact gay, then that is absolutely fantastic.

I don’t think that people believing Ten is gay is a bad thing. I think pinning one sexuality to someone we don’t know isn’t it though. When it trends or shows up as the most searched for thing for him though, I can’t help but think that if I was in his situation, seeing that would make me feel sick.

Ten has said and done lots of things that people use as proof that he’s gay, or at the very least to prove that he’s not straight. I agree that those things do in fact seem to point toward him probably being gay. BUT that doesn’t mean that I’m going to come out here proclaiming that it is certain.

I’ve said before that I know guys who I believed were gay based off their appearance and personality (and the fact that my gay cousin hated him for a reason that I believed was because they were exes or had some sort of history) but it turned out the guy was straight and in a multi year relationship with a girl. There are also plenty of guys that I know who don’t present the stereotypical gay personality traits and they’re gay. You can’t base someone’s sexuality off of the few things that they show to you, especially if they’re a public figure.

Humans are complex beings with many emotions and feelings and deep desires. Not everything is written on our faces. Not everyone wants people to know everything about them, especially if they’re a public figure.

I know you say you’re not calling me out or anything like that and fine okay, but I just wanted to make clear how I feel about this. I would love if Ten is gay and comes out. I would love if he’s straight or bi or ace or whatever. Because I don’t care really about his sexuality? I’m here for him as an artist and I think he’s a great guy. His sexuality couldn’t matter less to me, and yeah, maybe all this coming from me as I write smut involving him is a bit rich lol like I pretty much only ever write straight smut about him, but I pretty much only ever write straight smut. At least over on my twitter I try to diversify sexualities over there.

I just am a firm believer in fans not being able to make the call on the sexuality of a celebrity. Even making judgements on someone’s sexuality that you do know is gross to me.

Ye Old Westeros

TV SHOW: WOLF HALL X GAME OF THRONES COUPLE: JOJEN X READER RATING: SMUT

I sighed as I watched the sunrise over the green hills, watching as light-flooded on the tallest tree's to the smallest of daisies, the blue sky was hidden behind clouds that passed through the sky quickly and silently, I let out another sigh as I heard a knock on my door.

"Yes?" I asked turning back to the door shutting my curtains

"Master Jojen, Your father has requested your presents," A maid told me from the other side of the door

"Alright" I sighed running a hand through my hair and getting out of bed getting some clothes on grabbing my glasses and heading down the long staircase to the main dining room "You wanted to see me, father?" I asked

"Ahh Jojen, Perfect" He smiled as he got up from his chair and brought me over to my usual seat on the left of him beside my sister and across from my mother "now Jojen, Once you're done with your breakfast I want you washed and dressed and with me for the council this morning"

"The council? are you sure father?" I pressed

"Of course, after all your my successor Jojen, and I won't live forever I need you to understand the workings of being king" he explained "And this may in fact be a key moment in our history, one you may have to contend with as well"

"Who's coming to this council father?" I asked curiously

"all the usual, and we have invited that dam lot from across the way, been pushing at each other my whole life today we settle or we go to war" He explained

"Yes father" I nodded finishing a little food and going up to my room, having a hot bath and getting dressed into some nice clothes trying my best to fix my hair before I headed down to the main chamber of the castle, I stayed out of sight for a while a little afraid I cleared my head and my breath before stepping out and standing on the left side of my father's throne my mother on the other side as she smiled at me gently, I saw people looking at me many lords and lady's looking at me even the present people looking at me everyone looking at as much f me as they could see, I hadn't been allowed in the councils, or in public at all for as long as I remember.

The kingdom celebrated my birth as the first heir to the throne, my mother once told me that the whole kingdom flooded to see me when I was born, men from the furthest reaches of distant kingdoms came to wish me well and to offer their daughters to be my eventual bride, my father turned them all down and decide that the life of a prince should be concealed much like his was until he deemed I was old enough which I suppose means today.

I did my best to stand straight my hands behind my back a little overwhelmed by the number of people here when there was suddenly silence. the doors opened and a man stepped in he was clearly a king of another kingdom on his arm was a young girl, she seemed young enough to be his daughter she wore a beautiful y/f/c dress it reached the floor and had a black corset hugging her waist tightly her dress rather.... revealing, the skin of her chest clear to me both her breasts rather obvious and tight in her dress due to the dress and her corset, her face was beautiful her y/h/c hair done in a thousand different plaits and braids I couldn't help looking at her, I had never really seen any girls, none but my mother, my sister and the few staff girls who worked in the castle, but she was the most beautiful girl in the world.

"Your grace?" My father said as he stood

"Your grace," his man nodded "I assume this is your Queen?"

"Yes, this is my Queen" He smiled to my mother "I assume this is the Queen of yours I have heard so much about?" he asked indicating to that beautiful girl

"I'm afraid not, My beautiful Queen died quite some years ago" he explained "This is the only heir she blessed me with my daughter Y/n"

She gently curtseying "Good Morning your grace" she smiled,

"then may I too present My heir, My son Jojen," He said indicating to me I was unsure of what to do so I bowed my head slightly to them I knew my father and hers were talking, discussing all sorts of things that I knew I should have been listening to but I was too distracted by this girl I couldn't keep my eyes off her, but her eyes moved to me and she caught me looking so I looked away trying to hide my blush her cheeks dusted with a slight pink blush too as she gently giggled...

I think I'm in love.

"This petty squabble has gone on for long enough" her father yelled

"I agree" my father answered

"Your choice is simple, you agree to peace on my terms or I shall rage war upon your people"

"You must agree to my terms, else we will be at war" my father yelled,

"then we are at war!" He yelled marching out with his daughter soon enough everyone cleared out leaving me alone with my father

"Would you have gone to war Jojen?" He asked

"I don't know father..." I answered

"I mean... his demands they where fine they where acceptable but f he won't take ours we have no choice but to fight," He says

"Yes, father" I nodded returning to my room,

she was all I could think about for weeks, anywhere and everywhere,

In the gardens, In the dining hall with my family, during war councils with my father, playing with my sister, in the bath, while I read my books, and mostly when I was in my bed I couldn't help thinking about her.

I groaned pulling my pillow tighter "UUmmm... Y/n" I groaned trying not to be ripped away from the dream I had about her "uuhh! Y/n!!" I groaned hugging my pillow even tighter I sighed as the sunlight forced me to wake up so I got out of bed starting to get dressed and going down to the garden sitting on the grass and looking out across the kingdom where I could see the y/l/n castle I couldn't help but imagine what she was doing in there, maybe she was in her room reading, or maybe she was wondering the gardens or maybe she was... having a bubble bath.

I threw those awful thoughts out of my mind trying to think of anything else but those are thoughts wouldn't leave I decided as I looked around Me and saw I was alone in the gardens I got my little telescope from my pocket extending it out as much as I could and looking over to the y/l/n castle I looked around all the windows searching for anything interesting but found nothing so I scanned the garden... And found a very interested sight.

I saw the heir to the throne y/n, the girl I couldn't stop thinking about since I saw her, she stops in a beautiful floral gown that flowed like water across her luscious body, her ever curve realed to me she walked though the twilight garden as the sun was yet to rise she walked though the grass with a lit lantern in hand she reached a risen pond with some waterfalls that fed the gardens with water she smiled widely putting her hand in the water and before I could even think she slipped off the gown leaving her completely naked she stepped into the pool and began to swim often diving and playing around As she sawm I couldn't bare to take my eyes away from her

"How's the peeping?" A voice Asked making me squeal and drop my telescope on the grass

"Mother!" I yelled as I saw her behind me so I hid my telescope and my obvious erection

"So Jojen, how's the peeping?" She asked

"What? I uhh I umm I wasn't peeping" I lied

"Jojen" she warns "I know that look" she says putting her hand on my chin to force me to make eye contact with her "your father use to make the same look at me" she laughs "course back then it was just peeping in the ladies wash house and over garden fences" she explained "so who is she?" She asked taking my telescope and trying to look though to see what I was looking at

"Nothing! Nothing mother I was just bird watching" I lied

"Ummm bird watching" she says handing me back my telescope "be careful Jojen, some 'birds' will slap you for peeping" she warns So I nodded and ran back to my room.

I sighed as I sat with father in his war councils listening to endless military men discuss pointless little things when the door opened "a message my king" a boy said bringing a message for my father he took it and began to read when the messenger came close to me "pssst" he whispered making me jump

"What?" I asked

"Ssshh!!" He argued "I bring a secret message..." He whispered handing me a letter

"Who from?" I asked

"The Princess y/n" he says I was going to ask more but my father gave him a message to return to king y/l/n so I hid the Letter unendingly curious till I was told I could go so I rushed to my room locking the door and getting the Letter, it was a beautiful white envelope with a purple wax emblem of her family as well as a sprig of lavender, the Letter smelt like lavender, pine, daisies and roses and I instantly fell in love with the scent I opened the Letter doing my best not to break the seal too bad unfolding the perfect hand written letter

"Dear Jojen prince of the Reed kingdom, I have no other way to speak with you due to the war between our families at this time, but I must tell you even at the risk of my father finding out. That... I haven't been able to stop thinking of you, you have been all I've been able to think of since the decloration of war between our kingdoms. You looked so handsome and I must admit that I have begun to reglect my duties in favour of time thinking of you.

I don't know how you feel about this or if you even think much of me at all,

Either way I will hopefully await your response

lovingly Princess y/n y/l/n"

I was Lost my heart overwhelmed with joy reading her letter over and over but I knew I had to respond not keep her waiting for me so I got some paper and began to write

"Dearest princess, I was shocked by your letter it truly did suprise me. But it overwhelmed me with joy to hear from you, and I must express that my feelings are the same I haven't been able to get you out of my mind my lady since I saw you at the council I can't think I can't work your all I can think about all hours of the day, the first moment I saw you I was blinded by your beauty and I could have Swan my love for you at that very moment my sweet princess. I know the risks we both take knowing the raging war between our families but... I must see you again, and I fear I cannot wait long.

If you wish to meet with me in person, meet me at the Oakland farm at the edges our our kingdoms on Sunday as the sun sets I will be waiting,

I await your response

Prince Jojen"

I sealed the Letter and ran to the war council that was still going on I spotted the messenger stood around as they debated a message so I signalled him over her, he quiet rushed over S I handed him the letter

"For the princess, please keep it a secret" I told him and he nodded hiding it away.

Eternal Summer event summary.

The setting is a 'reboot' of the one from 2018 if that's the English word for it. Anki is the male puppet and Gishin the female one, by the way. This event plays better with headphones. Kinda longish wall of text because it is as detailed as possible. Akazukin= Red Riding Hood.

They are on the beach in bikinis needed to kill some ghosts. Akazukin is happy to 'play' with them and runs off to go kill them. Cinderella doesn't feel like doing this and Rapunzel doesn't want to either. So it's suggested to have a bikini contest and they can't leave unless they do one. The one who appeases the most wins, but they have to do it while fighting. Rapunzel doesn't want to fight in such an embarassing outfit and Akazukin immediately cuts her off saying like this it's easy to kill and swing her weapon. Cinderella is annoyed and is all 'don't swing your weapon close to me, you violent girl'. Rapunzel says these women are terrifying and looks sad, so Gishin asks her why she doesn't want to fight. Rapunzel says if there was a wonderful man around, she might. Suddenly Aladdin a young man with a lamp in the distance says 'just leave it to me' but Cinderella is annoyed and says no more people are needed so Akazukin beats him away, returning covered in blood. Cinderella is annoyed and tells Akazukin to go play with Rapunzel and Rapunzel is terrified.

The dolls are annoyed because no one is interested in doing their contest and Anki is thinking of a way to make them more serious about it. Cinderella says they defeated most of the ghosts and Anki goes "pi" and everyone is confused. Cinderella is like "what? Did he break?" Then, the narrator voice comes out of his mouth and Rapunzel is immediately like "he sounds like a wonderful man!". Akazukin is all 'gross, can I break him?' Gishin says she can't because Anki may be possessed by something. They tell you to use the headphones to not miss anything, and Rapunzel says 'Headphones? ... These things?" Cinderella snaps at her to not listen to them and Rapunzel says it would be a waste to not hear his wonderful voice. They call Anki 'Ikebo Anki' for the time being. He asks for a bikini contest again. Rapunzel says she was wrong and will happily do it.

Cinderella says it's useless because it's the voice of that puppet and Rapunzel says it's beautiful if she closes her eyes. Akazukin just wants to break him. And then Anki says they shouldn't fight over him and that they should focus on themselves because the judges are waiting for the contest to start and judge nightmares show up and refers to them as kittens. Gishin says to stop using words like that and Anki says she is a kitten too. Gishin attacks him. Cinderella is fed up and says just do the contest quickly. The player has to start voting for their favorite. The one the player votes for the most leaves a special message after the event.

Cinderella says hurry so they can revive their author, and Rapunzel agrees so she can meet hers too and Akazukin is confused, she forgot what her goal was. Then she's all, 'Oh yeah, I want to play with my author!' Cinderella is seething and Anki whispers something in her ear saying they shouldn't talk among themselves and to try to appeal more and beeps. He keeps whispering and blowing into Cinderella's ear and Akazukin said he is annoying and beats him. Cinderella, 'For once I'm grateful to you, violent girl. You saved me back there.' Rapunzel is worried about Anki and says women are scary after all and that even if only his voice is a handsome man she still likes Anki like this and she wants to become friends with him and they should just leave with the two of them and leave the others there. And then Anki asks if she isn't tired and he'll count sheep for her and you hear him counting sheep in your ear. Rapunzel falls asleep to Akazukin's suprise. He says this is his sleeping together voice, like sleeping next to each other, nothing dirty and Cinderella is like 'Just do what you want, I don't care anymore.' Gishin says she fell asleep because all she cares about is men and calls over the cast from the 2018 event [Alice, Gretel, Snow, Dorothy] to help with the contest.

Snow and Alice are tired and confused and Gretel says for Nii-sama, he will gladly wear a bikini. So Cinderella gets angry, saying she told them not to add more troublesome people and Snow gets mad saying what did she mean by that. Cinderella says that this is why she can't stand Snow White and they begin to fight. Akazukin is shocked asking if they aren't friends and Alice says they aren't. Gretel just wants to be alone with Nii-sama and Rapunzel grabs his arm asking about Nii-sama and Gretel tells her to not touch him. No one is interested in doing the contest and Gishin made it worse by calling on the characters from last year's event.

So Cinderella & Snow are fighting on the beach and Rapunzel is scared, and tries to grab onto Gretel so her prince can save her, but Gretel is like 'stop'. Akazukin is excited she has many friends to play with and Alice just sighs and says she wants to go home. Then Rapunzel asks Gretel, 'hey, are you maybe...' and Gretel goes 'save me, Nii-sama!' Everyone has gotten pretty beat up though because of the fights and Anki tells them 'even like this they're beautiful, no, they are always beautiful'.

Alice remembers Dorothy was supposed to be with them and asks where she is. Gishin says they didn't need Dorothy this year so she didn't call her. Cinderella tells her to call her there this instant, and Snow is like "I hate it but I have to agree with her". Rapunzel says they have enough women there and it would be better but gets cut off, because Gretel doesn't want more people there to bother him and Nii-sama. Akazukin is excited to have more friends coming to 'play'. Finally Gishin gives in and calls her but Dorothy is upset because she was was in the middle of work.They figure it out that she is behind all of this, so Akazukin asks if she can beat her and Rapunzel says yes because she is a woman, and Dorothy is mad because she was just doing what was asked. Even Gishin seems surprised Dorothy was the one creating Ikebo Anki and Cinderella tells her to immediately turn it off because it's driving her insane, but Dorothy doesn't want to because she's still running tests, so Cinderella tells Akazukin she can play and Dorothy goes 'save me!'

And then Ikebo Anki is all like "I'll save the damsel in distress" and Gishin tells him not to interrupt but he says Ikebo is the ally of all ladies. Dorothy says that she is the one who created Ikebo, but if they have complaints to go to her client. Rapunzel wonders if the client is a wonderful man. Dorothy says she can't tell them because she signed an NDA with them. Cinderella says luckily she's good at making people talk; 'Shall I start with your fingers? Your legs?', and Dorothy tells her that isn't funny but admits she has no idea what an NDA is and she will talk. She says the client was a ghost [there was a ghost nightmare in the previous event that suggested they have a bikini contest]. So they defeat the ghost but Anki refuses to go back to his normal self because Ikebo is there for all the kittens to whisper in their ears after they get hurt and when they did a good job and he tells Gishin of course he'll do it to her too since she's a kitten too. So Gishin tells Akazukin to go for it and she's all happy she can finally play and destroys Ikebo. They apologize for the bikini contest being canceled.

Can't Help Falling In Love

Chapter 1

For: @loverofallarts12

Warnings:

• Blood

• Slightly Smut

• Angst

The darkness is the hallway.

It was endless.

Henry looked at the flashlight The Lost Ones' gave him. He stroked his light Chestnut brown hair. He was walking inside the darkbess for a while now. He really wanted to see a light or a door at least. But there was nothing. All he could see with the flashlight was a few posters on the walls and some ink puddles. Nothing handy. He pointed the flashlight to the wall on his left.

Just a little Alice poster.

"Sent From Above, with Alice Angel..."

Henry read the poster with a quiet voice. He wasn't feeling paranoia or anything.

He was just a little horrified becouse of the Angels' warnings.

Allison and Susie, they both were very prepared when It comes the Ink Demon. They were always giving Henry advices about hiding from him.

Henry stopped walking for a second.

He looked at the darkness without the flashlight. He was a little scared now.

He actually didn't had a phobia about darkness, it was just Angels' warnings that gave him a little horror.

"Beware the Ink Demon. They say, he always attacks in the dark..."

The dark word made Henry get his mind back together. He grabbed the flashlight back and contioned walking for a while.

The hallway was deathly quiet. The only sounds were Henry's footsteps and the Flashlight's weak creaks. But then, another voice suddely showed up.

But that was not screaming or whining like Henry was expecting.

Some footsteps and whistles.

Henry suddenly stopped walking to listen the whistles.

A part of him was saying he needed to run and escape from the footsteps' owner.

But another part if him was saying just wait and listen.

He decided to listen the whistles. He tried to calm himself down with thinking it's just a Lost One.

"Wise man says only fools rush in..."

The owner of the footsteps started singing with a gentle voice. His voice was going straight to Henry's head. His voice was a little sonorous.

And...Weirdly...Calming?

Henry couldn't tell why. But his voice calmed him down fir a little bit. It reminded him almost his voice...

"Joey?!"

Henry shut his mouth with his hands. He was very worried from his voice. He wasn't expecting his voice to sound that loud.

Joey didn't seemed to mind, he just chuckled a little bit and contioned singing the song.

"But I can't help falling in love with you...

Shall I stay?"

"Would it be a sin?"

Henry couldn't help but whistled the songs next part with him. He knew that song. İt was one of his favorite songs back then.

"İf I can't help falling in love with you?"

His voice was coming closer and closer. Henry wanted to look back to see if he's there. But he couldn't. He wanted to look, but his body wasn't moving.

He thought it was becouse of the horror creeping around.

"Like a river flows surely to the sea.

Darling so it goes."

His voice was even closer now. Almost like he was just a few steps away from him.

Henry just waited. Waited for him to come even closer.

"Some things are meant to be...

Take my hand, take my whole life too."

With these words, Henry felt two, deathly cold arms wrapping around his waist.

He gently yelped as he suddenly felt the coldness, but then he relaxed.

He slowly closed his eyes, letting the flashlight fall to the ground. Joey didn't catch the flashlight either. He just contioned singing the song.

"For I can't help falling in love with you..."

He looked at Henry, he was almost asleep.

"God, he must be so tired..."

"For I can't help falling in love with you."

He finished the song and sighed.

"Just like the old times."

And then Henry fall asleep. Joey started to carry him bridal style and walked throught the hallway. The darkness didn't bothered him. He just walked throught the hallway, getting lost in his own thoughts while walking.

Hearing your own voice in your head, this can count as normal.

Untill it starts to get out of the hand.

This was the thing Joey was living.

"Can you even call yourself 'Joey Drew'?

We both know you're not truly me you're just a basic, 'stonger' copy."

"Whines of the 'Awaken man'..."

He whispered quietly and contioned walking without making any other sound.

•••

"I don't understand...Where could he be?!"

The Twisted Angel named Alice yelled with anger. Her long, inky, black hair was covering the half of her face. Her halo was broken, but it was still shining with a golden color. Her long dress was melting by the end. Her horns were broken. She had long black gloves and a bowtie on her dress.

She looked at the human-like wolf named Tom standing a few steps away from her.

He was wearing a yellowish brown shirt and a black overall. He also had a mechanic arm. He was looking at the Angel with a serious face. He was holding a axe and a Bacon Soup can.

Alice and Tom looked at the Safe House's door when they heard someone coming in.

It was another Angel. She had shorter ponytail hair, shorter black and brown dress and a rope. She didn't had a halo, she only had two, small horns.

"Allison!"

Alice let out a shout and walked near to her. Allison smiled a little bit and stepped inside the safe house.

"You got any news?"

"Or any information?"

Tom and Alice asked to her. She shooked her head and looked at the two.

"No...I don't have any news."

"Did you tried to talk to Lost Ones?"

"Yes, I did. They said they didn't see Henry around for a while."

"That's not good."

Tom walked closer to the both woman. He put the Bacon Soup can on the table and crossed his arms.

"Maybe the Demon already got him?"

He started to think about the possibilities. Unfortunately, the first possibility he could think about was the worst one.

"Should I tell them this?"

He looked at the Angels again. Normally, he wouldn't care if the possibiltys made someone sad. But Henry meant something to them.

He was their chance to escape from this nightmare.

But now, he was vanished.

Tom took a few minutes of thinking while the Angels were telling each other their ideas about where he could be.

"They're not little girls. They can understand that."

Tom decided to tell them the possibility, hoping they won't overreach.

"Or what if...He's ready taken by the İnk Demon?"

Tom stared directly at the Angels to see their reacts.

They seemed suprised, but just a little bit.

They looked at each other. It was it was clear that they both didn't know how to answer to that.

Alice stared Allison for a few seconds, then she decided to break the silence.

"This...İs a possibility. But we can't say if he is taken or not. We still don't have enough proves."

Allison seemed to agree with her. She crossed her arms and talked back to them.

"She's right. We still don't have enough proves."

Tom didn't answered them. He just seemed to agree.

"Well, ok then. What's our move now?"

"We should keep looking for him. But not today...Allison already did and I bet she's tired. Let's just rest for now."

"Maybe tomarrow will be better."

•••

"It's been a while."

Joey said as he stepped inside his office. He looked inside the office.

"A little dusty...And İnky...But it's still my office."

He walked to the black sofa near his desk before sitting on his desk. He gently placed Henry on the sofa. He softly moaned and leaned into Joey's arms. Joey chuckled and decided to sit near Henry. He sat on the sofa and drew Henry on his lap. He rested back and started to play with Henry's hair.

"It's been a long time since I touched you like that..."

He kept stroking his Light Chestnut Brown hair. It was quite messy and a little inky, but the color was still very visible.

Unlike Joey, Henry never aged much. İn 30 years, Joey's orange hair already had white spots on his hair.

The difference wasn't just growing older tho. Henry's personalty changed a lot.

When the Studio was still running pretty well, Henry was very kind.

"Maybe too kind?"

He was getting along well with everyone. He liked helping people when he wasn't working on animations.

He helped Joey with writing checks for so many times.

His appearance was differend too. He was much more slim. His clothes were always a little big for him, but it wasn't a big deal.

Now, he had a more masculine body.

"However. Funny part; he's still shorter then me."

And his personalty; Well...It was a little hard to explain. Like, he was colder to people now. His helping attidute was gone. And he was more...Wild?

However, Joey never mind that too much. Actually, he liked Henry's this version more then the young one. He just liked how he seemed like he wouldn't mind if he needs to shed someone's blood.

He didn't knew what changed Henry too much in 30 years, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to know too.

The only thing he know was Henry was here.

Something else didn't bothered him.

He just contioned playing with Henry's hair, listening his gentle voice, moaning softly.

"Well, things like this always happen, to pretty little creatures like you..."

And then he fall asleep too.

Gruvia Band AU

Lol I know this is trash but I just wanted to try it 🤷.

"Thanks a lot Nastu, now we only have 2 hours to practice!" Gray yelled as Nastu strolled through the door of the band's practice room. 

Nastu rolled his eyes at Gray's comment and instead smirked.

"I had something important to do. And you guys should be thanking me for being late. I got us tickets to’ The Fairy's’ concert tonight."

Nastu had a mischievous smile on his face as he held out 3 tickets. Gajeel, who had been tuning his guitar in the back of the room, perked his head up and glared at Natsu.

"You were late for practice getting us tickets to the damn Fairy's concert? You do know we have our own concert coming up right? We have to practice a lot in order to maintain our number 1 spot on the Fiore music charts."Gajeel grunted as he glared at Natsu.

"You think I'm stupid? I know that!"Nastu snapped."But I thought we could check out the competition you know? Plus that Lucy girl is pretty cute, you know?"Nastu snickered. 

Gajeel rolled his eyes and Gray scowled.

"Can we go?”Nastu pleaded.”Who knows, we might even be able to meet them!"

Nastu sounded really excited but Gajeel and Gray could care less about a concert. 

"You can go by yourself Nastu. Now let's practice." Gray was getting irritated.

"But you know these girls are right on our tails on the music charts and they just started their band!! We could probably lose our place to them anytime. We need to see how good these girls are, not just on TV, but in person!" Nastu huffed. 

Gray rolled his eyes in distaste."Fine. If you'll finally start practice we can both go." Gray motioned to both him and Gajeel.

"Now wait a second, I never agreed-" Gajeel was cut off by Gray and his loud sighing." Gajeel please, man. I just want him to shut the hell up. Besides, it's not like you have anything else to do. All you do is stay cooped up in your house anyway. And it’s not like you have a girlfriend." 

"Not like you do either!"Gajeel barked." I have plenty of ladies, Gajeel!" Gray countered.

"Yeah plenty of sluts." Gajeel mumbled, but Gray didn't hear him.

Everyone knew about Gray’s infamous title as a player, that hooked up with ladies left and right.

"Alright let's go- wait where the hell is Jellal? He was in this room!" Gray slapped his forehead in annoyance.

" Oh, he's going to the concert too. He was the one who hooked us up with the tickets from one of his 'old friends'. Anyway, he met me earlier and gave me these tickets and said he was coming back." Nastu shrugged.

"Ughh let's just go home." Gray huffed."We will meet up later for the concert anyway so we will practice late. No excuses."

"What the hell Gray?! You can't do that, your only the bassist! Your not even in charge!" Nastu shouted. 

"That’s cool. Got nothin’ to do anyway." Gajeel butted in.

 As Nastu had a tantrum, Gray texted Jellal there would be no practice until after the concert. Everyone left for the day and met up at 9 o'clock at night for the concert. They all had to wear disguises as they were a pretty popular band. 

Gray fussed out Jellal for leaving when he knew they had to practice of course, and Jellal apologized profusely when they met up. They gave the ticket collector their tickets and walked inside the crowded area. There was plenty of people crowded together,pushing and shoving to get to the front before the concert started. Gray, Nastu, Jellal and Gajeel managed to get to the front, and soon the lights shut off and blinding lights shone on the stage. The band came on the stage, as their arrival cued the loud screams. The boys silently watched while the girls stepped on the stage and got ready to play. 

Gray’s eyes were glued to a certain blue-haired girl with wavy,curly hair on the stage, one that played the lead  guitar and was also the lead singer. As the concert started, Gray was entranced with her movements on stage and her beautiful voice that echoed all over the room. She was beautiful and her voice was powerful. Her voice and looks were so mesmerizing to Gray,he only got a glimpse of the other girls. It was like Gray and this mysterious blue haired girl were the only people in the room to Gray. The way she moved her body was so hypnotizing and her movements were so fluid, as if her body was made of water. 

“Nastu...who is that blue-haired girl that is singing…?” Gray asked without even looking at him.

”Hm? Oh that is Juvia. She used to be apart of Gajeel’s old band! Funny right?” Nastu laughed. 

Just then Juvia’s blue eyes flickered to Gray’s and it seemed like time stopped  for Gray. It felt like she was staring into his soul,seeing every part of him. Then she broke eye contact and looked elsewhere. She wasn’t even looking  at him anymore but his heart was still beating so fast, it felt like it would burst out his chest.

The concert was over in no time and Gray was determined to meet this woman. He didn’t know why but he was instantly attracted to her, like a magnet.

“Why do you want to suddenly meet the girls now? You didn’t even want to come here before! “ Nastu asked curiously tagging along behind Gray.

”I...don’t know. I just feel like...I don’t know!”Gray replied frustrated.

He couldn’t explain it but he felt it. He came backstage with the boys and was stopped by a bald bodyguard with a menacing glare.

”You can’t go any further! Scram kids, unless you have a backstage pass.” The bodyguard snarled.

Just then a scarlet-haired woman walked up to the guard and put her hand on his shoulder.

”It’s alright, Nick. This is my friend, and his bandmates.”

The woman motioned to Jellal and he just nervously smiled as he walked over to the red-haired woman. The woman looked familiar to Gray. Then it hit him. She was the woman on drums in The Fairies band.He remembered taking a glimpse of her on-stage.

”Anyway, I’m Erza the leader of the band. Come on you guys. I can introduce you to the other girls if you want. I’m sure they would be happy to meet you, as most of them are big fans!” Erza laughed.

Nastu nodded his head furiously while Gray tried to seem indifferent by shrugging his shoulders. But inside his heart was beating faster than it ever was. They soon came to a metal door that read ‘Lounge area-Backstage only’ and the woman with scarlet hair opened it. All the girls were excitedly talking while sitting on the couch. The blond haired girl Nastu had mentioned before, had her mouth dropped open when she noticed them standing at the door.

”Girls...look.” The blond whispered quietly.

 The other girls turned around and all had suprised looks on their faces.

”Girls, may I introduce you to,’The Dragonflies’! Guys, this is Lucy, Levy and Juvia.”Erza smiled.

”Omg!Omg!” The blond haired girl screeched while holding Levy’s hand and jumping excitedly.

”We LOVE your guys’ music!!” They both excitedly jumped off the couch and scrambled to introduce themselves. 

Gray noticed Juvia, who was still on the couch, observing them with a  blank stare. Gray felt her eyes on him, and he felt nervous all over again. But the other girls were celebrating and conversating with the guys while, she just sat there. Gray worked up the courage to walk over to her and introduce himself.

”Hey! My name is Gray. You probably already know that though.”Gray laughed as he put on his best flirty and confident smile.

But Juvia showed no recognition as she had a confused and awkward look on her face.

”Umm...Juvia did not know who you were…”

Gray was now really confused. Hadn’t this girl ever heard of ‘The Dragonflies’ band?

”You know. Gray...from the band ’The Dragonflies’?” 

Juvia thought for a second and suddenly her eyes lit up.’She finally recognized me. I thought this girl was nuts for a second’, Gray thought.

”Your those guys that Gajeel-kun is apart of now! The band I wasn’t a big fan of! Juvia loves Gajeel-kun and all, but he was much better in Phantom Lord!!” Juvia pointed out.

 Gray’s face dropped. What just happened. Did she just...admit she didn’t like their music?

Okay I'm done. I just had this idea in my head and it had to come out🤣 I was going to write more but tumblr probably wont let me put that many words(I know from experience)
