I haven't bothered with posts about the anime episodes because for the most part they've been like... fine to moderately amusing and there's not really anything to say beyond that. 2x06 Sound the Turnabout Melody (what a title) was uh not like that lmao so
started off strong with that terrible Wright & Co commercial. god bless you Maya.
ever since they introduced the concept of the friendship keychains I've been wondering if Larry still has his or if Larry is a normal person and the keychains are a consequence of Phoenix and Edgeworth specifically being Like That.
I thought s1 really tried to be like "a no homo trio of besties!!!" so I assumed it was likely Larry did. instead not even 3 years later Larry is like "lmao you still have that?" and Phoenix is both embarrassed and defensive which is much better and funnier than I expected from this show lmfao god bless
Larry discovering girls while Phoenix is STILL thinking about Miles and then deciding to dedicate songs on the radio to him fahfkdhlhkhglh .... incredible. showstopping
the dedication just kept going and going, too. i thought it would end with like, 'to signal red from signal blue' but it went on and on. i know she read page one of his ten page letter. didn't even mention the illustrated annexes of red and blue holding hands 😔
edgeworth thanking phoenix aloud and meanwhile phoenix sensing a disturbance in the force and turning around to look ... lmaoooooooo?!?!?... I mean even by the high bar set by their game canon I was pretty stunned
the flipside of all the crazy but believably IC baby narumitsu stuff was I found the Von Karma stuff all kind of weird and not particularly believable/IC
I appreciate the anime making it unambiguous that Edgeworth was raised by MVK, I feel like in the games there's a bit of vagueness for no real reason despite it being the most logical explanation for everything. so that was nice. but:
as hilariously cruel as it is to imagine MVK raising this kid for three years before turfing him to an orphanage, even applying 5d chess psychological torment logic I can't really make sense of that. why would he wait that long lol. why would he have taken miles in to begin with if not part of a long-term scheme.
baby franziska was cute as hell but i think she was too nice. i totally believe she'd be obsessed with her new little brother and want his attention/approval/etc. i ...don't really believe she's emotionally equipped to go about it so sweetly, lol.
miles' prosecutor vs defense ambition arc was convoluted to me, and an example where i feel like the games already gave us reason enough for the switch (the idea that greg's murderer got away + mvk's influence) without the anime now presenting something that makes less sense. (i'm still playing AAI but i sense i'll have similar criticisms of it, as in, "you're offering me a new explanation that makes less sense than the original". a common issue for prequel media.)
the cravat-giving scene felt like it was presented very earnestly despite being objectively kind of creepy given, you know, everything.
dog person miles edgeworth REAL
why'd they name that puppy napalm 😭😭😭😭
oh most importantly THE EPISODE TAG?? LMAO? edgeworth giving them the only like on their commercial why can't i find a clip or gifset of it the people need to know NEVERMIND @camalyng has bravely answered the call with a gifset
#ace attorney#oodly watches AA#i didn't expect i'd need so many variations on those tags but here we are. the sprawling AA media empire#narumitsu

It feels weird to already be at part 9, meaning the last episode of season 3.
I started this about 2 weeks ago maybe, with some very chaotic and messy posts and I can’t even count how many hours I spent doing this trip down memory lane. Thank you to those of you who stuck with me until the end, I hope you know I did this for you as much (if not more) as I did it for me.
Doing this made me realise how crazy those first few episodes were, filled with theories, and ‘what ifs’ that were hilarious and sometimes spot on (*paint scene* vs *hell NO, not happening*). It was the time of the giddy excitement of falling in love with those characters and just not knowing what the hell was going to happen.
The mid-season was all about growth of characters and discovering the wholesome cast and crew we’ve been blessed with. Discovering Maxence’s dorky side and beautiful soul and Axel’s no bullshit-policy and chaotic energy, David and Jeremy’s trolling ways and Niels’ incredible way with words...
But then, the last few episodes were… much fonder. I think you guys could feel the tone of the posts changing after episode 7, first of all… It got super long lmao, but it also became super hard for me to make fun of those moments. And I think it reflected how attached and deep in love the fandom was (and still is) with Lucas and Eliott. We are so emotionally connected and protective of them, it’s quite beautiful really.
This was definitely difficult for me to write, and I’m sorry this last part won’t be as fun as the previous ones, but I hope you’ll enjoy it still… But I guess the point of all this was to relive that amazing season that we got alongside Lucas and this hilarious fandom, so we have to accept the emotions I guess ^^’.
So… here goes, welcome to part 9 of my trip down memory lane that got us shook, excited and all that jazz in season 3.
Episode 10, or … “When is the minute by minute scene, David? WHEN?”
Mood:
1) The wait for the Minute by Minute clip, ACT 1: ���Okay Lucille, I still don’t like you, but you did good here.”
Let’s go back to Saturday morning.
We knew Lucas wanted to meet up with Lucille, but a lot of people in the fandom thought it might not happen because he wouldn’t leave Eliott’s side.
And I remember how many fans were hoping for the minute by minute clip happening BEFORE that talk with Lucille.
As it turned out, the minute by minute clip never came that day, but we got a very hopeful clip instead. (One of my favs of the season tbh)
Because Lucille apologised:
And ate her hurtful words:
But most importantly, she said this:
And then, one of the most beautiful sequence happened.
We saw Lucas buy croissants for Eliott:
(I don’t want to start another Pain au Chocolat/Chocolatine debate, okay?... But at the same time: PAIN AU CHOCOLAT FTW)
And flowers:
We saw the struggles:
We saw Eliott battling with himself, disconnected from the world:
We saw Lucas wrapping some weird looking meal that Eliott didn’t want to eat:
And then we saw hope:
“My heart!!! MY HEART!”
And with a great speech narrated beautifully by Lola.
The fandom was overall happy with that clip, although we were on the edge of our seats for the minute by minute clip to drop.
We had already been robbed of a ‘Kitchen Dance’ Scene and the ‘Mannen I mitt Liv’ scene. So, the fans were PRAYING for it to come right NOW.
But one part of the earlier conversation didn’t please some fans very much: when Lucille implied Eliott had cheated on her multiple times. One thing was for sure however: Lucas wasn’t like them.
Shortly after the clip dropped, Lucas posted this:
I remember the fandom being like “That looks disgusting. Don’t cook Lucas. Please” and also “But why is he serving him pasta and … is that green beans? At 10 am? No wonder Eliott didn’t want to eat that!”
We didn’t get any clips on Sunday, but we got some social media updates that made the fans talk quite a lot.
First, we got this from Manon:
And mecs, I’ve never seen so many people talk about legs and knees before.
Really, it was insane.
And it started the fandom slight obsession for those body parts afterwards.
Elu… Or the “power of knees”.
Never thought I’d write that in my life tbh.
Love that for us lmao.
Then after Manon, Lucas posted this:
“AXEL! We know it was your idea!!”
“Omg, Lucas was telling Eliott all the parts of him he loves, MY HEART!”
I’m pretty sure that the joke about how Lucas’ IG was turning into an Eliott shrine started that week.
And HELL YES to that.
The good thing about getting those pictures was that the fandom knew Eliott was still at Lucas’ and that he seemed to be doing better.
(And that he went to the hairdresser)
So, the clip that came on Monday morning, wasn’t really what we were hoping for.
2) The wait for the Minute by Minute clip, ACT 2: “But… but… Noooo”
Our thirst for the minute by minute clip continued all throughout Monday.
When the first clip dropped at 8:10, the fans were excited.
“It’s the minute by minute clip!!! I can feel it!”
Except it really wasn’t and it felt like a slap in the face.
Gone were the knees and noses.
Because we got a worried Lucas:
Who had left a note for Eliott telling him he missed him:
And Lucas was SO happy to see Eliott awake:
“Look at that smile! He wants to take care of Eliott so much!”
But Eliott pushed him away pretty harshly:
And yeah… Mood:
Don’t love that very much for us.
“Please Skam France, I know this is very realistic, and I appreciate what you’re trying to do… BUT IT HURTS!”
I don’t think many fans expected an unhappy clip at all in this episode.
We expected some serious conversation with Eliott, sure, but not this.
The fandom was pretty distraught after that and at that point, 2 full days had come and gone without a proper on-screen reunion for those two.
However, I remember that if people were sad about that clip, the fandom was still pleased overall that Skam France went there with their portrayal of Eliott’s MI.
Because they showed the ugly parts, the parts where you lash out, even to your loved ones, but the one you hate the most in the end is still yourself. And they showed Lucas being offended (he took that note back) because how else could he react? That situation was still new to him.
It hurt, but it felt important.
3) The wait for the Minute by Minute clip, ACT 3: “Basile I can’t believe I’m saying this… But you hero, Part 2.”
In OG, that clip was with Isak talking to Eskild over the phone before Vilde asked him about hosting the Christmas party and then Isak invited Emma.
But then, the minute by minute talk had already happened at that point in OG… And Lucas had already cleared the air with Chloé 2 episodes earlier.
Add to this that we still had no idea about what was going to happen on Friday… We pretty much went into this clip blind, thinking we might see Daphné, but we had a lot of hope for some comfort regardless.
Seriously.
The fandom was a mess.
The clip started like Og, with Lucas talking with Mika over the phone:
Then he joined the boy squad:
But when he refused to eat because he felt guilt about not being with Eliott, Basile went on a speech that basically said that:
Or, thank you Basile, part 2:
Skam France, helping families, friends and lovers since 2018.
Love that for us.
Special mention to this:
(At least someone said ‘man of your life’ this season.)
And to this:
(Oh Basile, only you can be insightful about something and be a complete dumbass the second after)
4) The wait for the Minute by Minute clip, The Final Act: Minute by Minute.
I remember how many people were expecting a clip after the pep talk from Basile. And I think we all knew we were about to get that conversation.
I also remember people talking about Fort Boyard A LOT during that week because it was credited but we had never seen it before. So many theories were brought up with Fort Boyard, it was pretty hilarious tbh.
And, it HAD to come up then right? RIGHT?
Well…
Anyways.
Mika tried to pull a very unwilling Lisa away:
The much-awaited conversation started with Lucas’ beloved ‘kiss me’ face:
But Eliott needed to have a serious talk… And it didn’t start so well:
“Uh oh, no Eliott, please don’t do this”
And he spoke his mind about his mood swings, his medication, …:
(I honestly couldn’t bare cut that part of the conversation, but I didn’t have much of a commentary so I kept most of it like that)
“I can’t believe the writers made him express himself like that… THANK YOU.”
But then Eliott started tearing up:
The fandom FELT IT.
Maxence was so good in that scene. I can’t even put the right words on this mix of emotions (my vocabulary is failing me atm), but boy was it palpable.
And every time Eliott tried to push Lucas away with a ‘it’s going to happen, I’m going to hurt you’, ‘you’re not bipolar so it’s not the same’ arguments…
Lucas fought back, Lucas fought for Eliott.
And then he killed the fandom when he said that:
“Yes Lucas! YES! I’m so proud of you right now. You’ve come such a long way!”
And then this happened:
And I KNOW the fandom started to have a melt-down right after he said that.
After DAYS waiting for that moment, it was right here.
And it felt so healing:
Lucas had seen the bad moments and had people around him not sugar-coating the reality of living with someone who is bipolar. So, he was going all in, knowing full well it wouldn’t be fun all the time.
(Yet again, does a relationship without ups and downs exist? Mmmmmm)
And then, Eliott went from this in the beginning of the clip:
To this at the end:
“Our sunshine is smiling again! It’s not a drill!! He’s smiling! He’s going to be fine!”
I don’t know about you guys, but that kiss felt like such a relief:
A relief that those two felt a 1000%:
And the fandom could breathe again:
“They’re going to be the death of me. I’m so happy right now.”
The fandom after that scene was very much in this state:
“I don’t have any plans for the rest of the night, right? Press: Rewatch.”
And also, very this:
“GIVE MAXENCE AN OSCAR YOU COWARDS!”
And also:
“When are we getting a clip with Fort Boyard then? I’m so confused!”
No but seriously, I don’t even think I saw ONE negative comment about that scene. The fandom was THRIVING and so, SO pleased with how that scene had turned out.
Because Eliott was able to talk about it with his own voice.
Thank you for that Skam France.
You did so good.
5) The Common Room storyline: From Orange Juice to Victory. A thrilling saga (part 2).
I’ll go quickly on that one, I think y’all agree with me on that move.
We knew a common room-related clip was happening on Wednesday because Daphné told us in the second Monday clip:
And she and everybody else advertised it on their socials.
Special mention to that pic for having the BUTT right in the middle:
Because why not, right?
And for once, on a Wednesday with an hour given, they were “on time” (well 7 mins late is a MIRACLE for a Wednesday really).
So.
The clip started with a bunch of students doing a sit-in in the Common Room (or, peak French Culture):
(Lucas was scared apparently)
This guy was like ‘gtfo’ (or as we say in French “oust’ (=shoo)):
But Daphné stood up to him with the support of her fellow rioters:
(And her speech was GREAT)
And then they won so everybody was happy:
(And don’t lie Axel, you were on your tippy toes, we know you)
Moral of the story: Yay for Daphy!
People were a bit ‘meh’ about that clip though, because there was no Eliott in it, Lucas barely did anything, and Basile got a lot of screen-time (I’ll come back to that in a moment… kinda).
The common room needed some conclusion though and it did play an important part in Lucas and Eliott’s relationship: their first meeting, the Kiffance party where they eye-fucked each other, their painting the mural epic adventure, the butts and the big dick imprinted on the mural, them being openly affectionate for the first time in front of their friends, …
So yeah, good job saving that place Daphné, just for the cherished memories it holds.
Special mention to Maxi-moi:
We got that picture on Wednesday afternoon/early evening and the fandom was like “Eliott is wearing Lucas’ hoodie!!!! OMG!”
“Come on, Eliott. It’s your turn! Post a ‘Mini-moi’ picture now! PLEASE!”
Seriously, I saw so many reblogs of this lmao.
6) The clip where Lucas was the fandom and Eliott was Skam France
Now that the common room was saved and ready to see many other people fuck on the couch, wall, or wherever they see fit, the fandom thought the last scene of the episode might happen there.
But then, David said this:
(Trans: Now that we’re leaving the common room for season 3…)
“So where is the last clip happening???”
“Does that mean we’ll get the Fort Boyard clip tomorrow where Daphné calls Lucas to ask if they can party at the flat share? AND THEN WE GET THE ‘Man of My Dreams’ scene?”
Well, nope.
No party at the flat share.
No Ford Boyard, once again.
But we got better.
Much, much better.
On Tuesday, the fandom thought that this Jeudi was bound to be yet another Trajeudi and that the last two clips were probably going to be on Friday.
Special mention to this montage by @cheloucas (I’m still laughing about this to this day):
So, the fandom was very surprised we got anything at all.
And boy, were we SHOOK by what was coming for us.
The clip started with them hugging at the bus stop:
And the fandom Lucas was crying again:
(And that was a whole mood, because we didn’t want to see Season 3 to go either)
“But why is he crying? Where is Eliott going???”
And a few moments later, Skam France Eliott reassured us him:
(Not farewells my ass, but thank you for trying, Skam France)
But before that, Lucas told Eliott they were having a party at the park. So, we finally knew where the final clip was going to happen.
Sadly, Eliott decided to cast doubts in everybody’s mind when he said he didn’t feel like being around people:
And most of the fandom was SURE he was going to show up.
But it was Eliott-don’t-know-if-I’m-going-to-show-up-or-not we were talking about.
So, people were a bit worried still.
Then Eliott wiped Lucas’ tears away:
And kissed him goodbye:
But then Eliott decided to make the bus driver wait:
And when he said ‘Lucas’, the fandom collectively paused the clip.
Because we knew what was coming.
“OMG, it’s HAPPENING!”
And were we ready?
I’m not sure lmao.
And then, then…
Well Eliott said it:
And Lucas said it too:
I remember that debate on the ‘Moi aussi’. Some people were SO CONFUSED by it “Why does he say, ‘me too’ and not ‘you too’? This doesn’t make any sense, right?”
Well… That’s how we say it in France, what can I say?
And Eliott smiled from ear to ear:
And the bus driver finally managed to leave.
What a patient man.
Love that for us.
No but really, the fandom talked about that bus drivers for HOURS after that: “That bus driver is an Elu stan!!” and “Do bus drivers really wait that long in Paris”? (I can tell you right now: HELL NO) also, “Eliott didn’t even pay the bus!!” …
We still joke about drivers waiting to this day.
It’s hilarious honestly.
And our Lucas … was happy:
And the fandom was in HEAVEN.
But I remember, however, how annoyed some fans were that Lucas was crying. Again. They thought he was way too dramatic and that he acted like Eliott was leaving for war.
But way more fans pointed out that Eliott did leave Lucas behind twice and Lucas didn’t understand what was happening with Eliott at the time. Plus, he already had some pretty deep abandonment issues so…
Let the boy cry!
Special mention to Lucas posting this on IG a minute after Eliott’s ‘Je t’aime’:
“Omg Lucas, my heart! You’re so WHIPPED”
And then we got another update:
“Lucas said ‘I love you’ for real this time, I hope we’ll hear him say it in a clip at some point!”
Lmao, we love a good clown.
4) The Last Vendreadi
On this last day of season 3, one thing was for sure, the fandom… Was this:
And Jeremy, that little shit, trolled us one last time:
“WHY? Don’t you think we’re suffering enough already?”
And I think the only thing we wanted from that clip… Was for Eliott to show up… and for it not to be the last clip at all. But only one was possible, so Eliott being there was a MUST HAVE.
Sometime during the afternoon, Eliott posted this:
And I remember people in the fandom being like: “He misses Lucas so much. He’s going to come! There’s no other way!”
The last clip of episode 10, started like this:
This girl invited her 30-year-old boyfriend to come and chill with high-school students:
(Or was he the chaperone? Mmmm)
This guy really wanted a threesome, but was very ‘meh’ about seeing someone else’s dick:
(I still don’t know his name, I blanked it out I think)
So, they puckered their lips like that to blow bubbles to see who’d win:
Those two agreed they would date:
(Cheers to that! Hope you stay together for a while!)
(I’m not sarcastic, what do you mean?)
Yann was like ‘sup girl’ when he saw Chloé:
And Chloé was very charmed:
And they hit it off:
(Good for them. Hope we see how that evolves in season 4!)
Manon got a call from Charles:
But she ended up crying so I’m going to guess it didn’t go so well:
(For real though, to this day I still have NO IDEA what they talked about. Did she tell him to fuck off? I don’t understand)
Cake-and-boobs-dude was gross:
(No honestly, those kisses still haunt me)
Arthur couldn’t believe his eyes either:
(Seriously, though, Arthur was such a mood in this clip.)
When this girl wanted to fuck Basile:
First of all, Basile was so shook that he did that:
And Arthur couldn’t even put his cup in his mouth properly:
(And I mean, same, wtf was that lmao)
And when Basile refused to go roll around in the grass:
Because in the Wednesday clip, he had promised Daphné this:
And said this:
Arthur was impressed by Basile self-restraint:
Basile not so much though:
(For a guy who wanted to fuck a girl all season long, the fandom was proud, ish.)
But he got Daphné in the end:
And Arthur, yet again, was a mood:
Well, kind of.
Because the fandom was mostly like … “Okay, I’m not thrilled about them being together, but Basile showed growth and did get much better these past couple episodes… So, I guess we’ll see.”
Then we finally, finally found Lucas:
Who was very happy to see that Eliott came:
The fandom was thrilled too. “Eliott is here! THANK GOD!”
And look at him! He looked so HAPPY too:
And Lucas wanted a kiss when he heard Eliott had counted the minutes since they’ve last seen each other:
(But was else is new?)
“Omg, these guys, I swear....Kill me now!”
And then they …:
… lived happily …:
“Lucas! Be careful with your beer! You’re going to get Eliott all wet!!”
…Ever after:
(It’s cheesy, but I don’t care lmao)
Special mention to our number 1 Elu-stan, Yann Cazas who gave us this:
(Thank you for your service Yann, the fandom truly needed this)
Other special mention to Eliott, who literally left his timer on from the moment he left Lucas’ side on Trajeudi:
(What a sap… LOVE THAT FOR US)
“Now where is the wine? I need to get drunk!”
5) Before I jump into the other BTS we got that week, let’s go back to some special mentions
- Us hoping for a new cast reaction video … And NEVER getting it.
- Us wondering if Lucas and Eliott were going to move in together at the beginning of season 4 because Lucas was STILL sleeping on the couch.
- Us hoping for Lucas to apologise to Eliott about his comment on ‘Crazy people’
- Us freaking out about Sunday when someone on Twitter started teasing everybody about something HUGE happening at 11am
But it was this:
(Awww, that’s sweet… Now where’s the clip????)
6) Social media got us well fed that week
Let’s start with the most difficult ones so they are out of the way.
The goodbyes to season 3 from Maxence, Niels and Axel:
And this BTS from David about the running scene in the last clip of episode 9:
We got this interview for SOS-Homophobie:
(Plus an amazing interview of them. Actually, all of that was on week 8, but we slept on it for 2 weeks lmao)
And this AMAZING interview for Melty:
Where Axel and Maxence really said ‘Fuck Homophobes’ and shared some very real and important personal stories.
And of course, those two now iconic Axel moments:
(c @lucaslallemants)
(I HAD to put the gifs, are you proud of me?)
Some of the cast and crew also went to Series Mania in Lille and we got some fun BTS infos (from Fantony-FramboiseLFC on Youtube)
We learned a bit more about Maxence being cast for Eliott:
And David teased us about the mural scene:
(Maxence’s face in the second one is lmao, mec was SHOOK)
(I know you have that ‘no no no’ in the head, I know you do 😉)
“GIVE US THE DIRECTOR’S CUT DAVID! AND THE BLOOPERS… AND THE BIRTHDAY VIDEO!”
This interview of the Inferior-Auriant:
(That actually made a lot of fans go ‘aw’ when he admitted he felt insecure by posting on social media… thus explaining why he deleted his posts so much)
This BLANK interview of Maxence and Axel:
Axel trolled Maxence again by stealing his answer:
(But Maxence loved it so, all’s good in the world)
And we learned Axel was scared of snakes (poor Brian) and that Maxence was often fucked over by Axel’s idea:
And this story from SOS-Homophie too:
When Axel couldn’t find the words to describe Lucas (and Maxence came in for the rescue)
David gave us this:
Maxence couldn’t get enough of this raccoon:
(I know there are some pics of him at Series Mania with that one on his head, but I couldn’t find it)
We got this picture of Maxence for him hitting 400k followers (or was it 300K?):
And this one for Lucas hitting a 100K on IG:
“Where is our pic for Eliott hitting a 100K, huh? WHERE?”
France Tv slash killed us with this picture:
Special Mention to this Basile IG post:
(Abs that do NOT match the skin tone of your face AND a white horse? Daphné’s going to love that for sure…)
(But for real, that song was HILARIOUS(LY BAD))
We got the last missing piece:
Now onto season 4:
(I had to use that shot, because CHILLS but I wanted to conclude the episode with my cheesy line lmao, so here it is)
And, of course:
😘😘
#skam france#trip down memory lane season 3#I tried to keep it short#I failed hardcore#but I shortened the scenes for sure#thank you guys for sticking with me til the end#It's not my most fun one#And don't read it if your in your feelings#I managed to push it back because I've been working on it for two days#but who knows I don't want to make anyone cry lmao#i did try to make it lighthearted though

BnHA Chapter 192: The Only Path Forward
Previously on BnHA: Dabi confronted Endeavor and Hawks following Endeavor’s victory over the High Brow Noumu. But then my girl Miruko the rabbit hero showed up, so Dabi fled the scene courtesy of some very familiar black ooze warping. We then cut to the League’s mysterious hideout, where MOTHERFUCKING HAWKS was meeting up with Dabi after the fact to complain that Dabi pulled some bullshit with their AGREED-UPON SECRET PLAN by attacking in the middle of a city with an experimental Noumu. Dabi in turn accused Hawks of playing games because he failed to mention Endeavor would be involved, and he also managed to prevent even a single casualty during the resulting chaos. So neither of them fully trust each other, but in the end Dabi sent Hawks off and agreed to call on him again. We then learned that Hawks is actually working undercover at the request of the police, who need eyes and ears within the League to prevent another disaster like Kamino. Hawks agreed to this knowing it would mean he’d have to make some hard decisions and turn a blind eye to some of the League’s antics. It’s implied he’s feeling guilty over what happened to Endeavor, so I have completed the adoption papers and had them notarized. Oh yeah, and speaking of guilt, for some reason Dabi is standing out looking at the night sky and being weirdly sentimental. So yeah, I basically have no idea who is on whose side at this point, but I’m fucking living for it you guys.
Today on BnHA: The world moves on from this latest incident of high profile villain destruction. Recovery Girl heals Endeavor and Hawks accompanies him to the train station while the two of them discuss the suspiciously coincidental appearance of the Noumu. Hawks manages to dismiss Endeavor’s suspicions, and Endeavor bids him farewell, but not before suggesting that Hawks should find somebody to help him with his investigation. We get an extremely intriguing Hawks flashback and learn that he was groomed to be a hero from childhood due to his talent, but that he never wanted it and longs for the day when society doesn’t need heroes anymore. We then cut to the Todoroki house, where Endeavor greets his three Children With Known Whereabouts and has an unpleasant confrontation with Natsuo, who hasn’t forgiven him despite his seeming change of heart and lets him know that in no uncertain terms. Shouto thoughtfully says that “Endeavor the hero” is amazing, but as far as Endeavor the person goes, his feelings are in line with Natsuo’s. However he wants to see what kind of dad he’ll become from here on out. Endeavor realizes that his new purpose is to secure a good future for his children, and that the only thing he can do is continue to move forward. That night we cut to Deku, who finds himself in a strange dream with his body is covered in black smoke. Shimura and the other OFA users are there as well. And then all of a sudden he’s watching a scene from the past -- All for One standing against his younger brother, the first OFA user.
This chapter is so fucking good and this recap is so fucking long you guys lol. because it’s just so good ahhhhhhh.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 212 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.)
Izuku got the cover of Jump on account of the BnHA movie premiere! congratulations Izuku
and young All Might is in the upper right hand corner looking like a vintage Ken doll as always and weirding me out
I still like young All Might, but idk you guys, there’s just something about the black sclera that just cranks it up to 11 for me. really is a shame that only happens as a result of his injury
and there’s a page with some blurry clips from the movie, and then this awesome color spread celebrating 4 whole years!
it just hit home that I have less than 30 chapters left until I’m all caught up oh shit
fourth popularity poll! YOU CHUCKLEFUCKS BETTER SHOW MIRIO SOME FUCKING RESPECT THIS TIME AROUND YOU HEAR
I see Bakugou is wearing a clip-on tie here. for fuck’s sake you’re sixteen years old learn to tie the damn thing already
what the actual fuck is happening with Todoroki and Deku’s pants. and for once, not Bakugou’s. like seriously what the hell, this is unnerving
okay guys, poll time: which of these hand gestures indicating the number four is most valid. is it Deku’s, even though he’s doing it with both hands and thus arguably indicating the number eight instead? Ochako, who has the opposite problem and is going for a 2+2=4 thing? or Jirou, who opted to be asymmetrical and do three on one hand and one on the other?
why do only the girls have hats. and did Deku really insist on wearing his trademark red sneaks even though they clash so fucking horribly. why did the others allow this to happen
(ETA: you know what, given the outfits they wore during the A Band performance, they probably did not give one single fuck)
anyway, I love this page from the bottom of my heart, but we came here today to learn more about Dabi’s weird angst and to find out how screwed Hawks is and exactly how hot Endeavor is going to be once that scar heals over. so let’s get to this
so now it’s two days later and Endeavor is all healed up thanks to Recovery Girl! the perks of being a U.A. alum and the number one hero whom everyone now loves
oh mama
okay guys but I need someone to tell me right the fuck now how this man still has an eye. and an eyebrow. you’re telling me they could heal the eyeball just fine but not the rest of his face
(ETA: I actually got an ask explaining this, but I haven’t gotten a chance to take another look at the scene where he gets wounded yet. but thank you anon!)
it looks like he actually did lose half of his mustache though omg
anyways I fucking knew he was going to come out of this just unfairly hot. and just fucking look at him. smdh
as for Miruko, she just fucked right out of there to continue doing her thing afterward. lol I’m glad they bothered to tell us but honestly I wasn’t that curious, that’s basically what I assumed already
son of a bitch
dsflhlk okay JUST STOP, Horikoshi. who the fuck do you think you are making Hawks apologize so fucking casually even though we now know that in truth, he actually is responsible on a level Endeavor has no clue about, and actually has some grounds for feeling guilty even though he wasn’t to blame. like, here he is slyly making it out to be an apology for calling that meeting where they got attacked, even though in reality WE KNOW THE TRUTH
speaking of that meeting, I wonder if Endeavor has put the pieces together yet that Something Was Not Quite Right About That
also what the fuck is in this giant wheely suitcase. is it his suit?
anyway, so he’s telling Hawks that his injuries are his own responsibility
and Hawks is all “ooh that’s a good response, can I use it next time I’m injured”
ah here we go
look, Endeavor may be a lot of things, but he’s not stupid
Hawks is all “lmao fuck my life”
well you’ve had two whole days to come up with some kind of story so let’s see what you got. if it were me I’d tie it in to your investigation
he says that they were bound to draw some attention as the #1 and #2 heroes, and they probably just caught the villains’ eye
and he’s thinking to himself that that’s the whole reason why he drew so much attention toward them while they were out, so he’d have an excuse
this sounds considerably less plausible when you just got attacked by a goddamn Noumu though you know. and clearly a new breed of them no less
now Endeavor’s telling him to be careful with his investigation
don’t mind me, I’m just sitting here trying to figure out whether this has a double meaning
probably not -- I did say he wasn’t stupid, but I doubt he’s that smart to have figured the whole thing out either. still, this gave me pause lol
(ETA: yeah, on my second readthrough this just reads to me like “if you ever need backup, call me before you go and do anything stupid.” tsundere affection from someone with almost no prior experience in showing that he cares. I don’t think he has any idea what Hawks is really up to, but I think he has an inkling that there’s more going on than meets the eye, and he wants him to be careful.)
Hawks’s reaction is interesting too
and now he’s grinning in that you-like-krabby-patties-don’t-you-squidward way
he just cares about you and you’re young enough to be his son so he’s looking out for you
SPEAKING OF HIS SON are we gonna get to that anytime soon. is that where you’re headed off to now Endeavor? to be with your family? oh to be a fly on the wall during that meeting. oh wait, we’re reading a manga and I’ll literally get to read all about it in just a couple of pages, probably. fuck yeah
so Hawks says that he’ll be back on the job once all his feathers grow back
“it’ll probably be another day or so” holy shit. that’s some crazy fast recovery time
and now he’s bidding Endeavor farewell
...did Endeavor just adopt Hawks too
(ETA: he sure did. this is not a man who just waves at people. this is a dad wave. it’s weird you guys, it’s so fucking weird, but that’s what it is though! at least that’s how I read it)
don’t tell me I’m gonna have to co-parent this in-over-his-head too-smart-for-his-own-good bird child with the world’s second worst dad (yeah, Overhaul’s still got that #1 on lockdown for the rest of eternity though)
now we’re flashing back to that meeting with the cops when they first told Hawks about the undercover assignment
they’re calling it a “proposal” and Hawks is mildly objecting to that term
(ETA: “despite knowing I can’t possibly refuse.” oh my god I have so many feels for this boy. he has no choice in any of this. I just want to wrap him up and keep him safe and just let him rest and chill out and play video games and eat tacos and not have to worry about villains and secrets and keeping his damn guard up all the time and being discovered or killed or getting someone else killed. HORIKOSHI. PROTECT HIM!!)
the woman says she won’t deny that Hawks coincidentally not being in Kamino worked out well for them
oh shit! now we’re cutting to a car accident scene, and at first I thought ‘oh so is this why he wasn’t in Kamino, was he saving these people’ but no!
so this woman basically sponsored him to be a hero then? interesting
holy shiiiiit
so he genuinely does want that, what he was talking about before. but it’s because this is all he’s been doing for his whole life, and it’s simply because he felt obligated to do it because he had the talent and was pushed into the “with great power...” mindset
like, he didn’t really have a choice, is the vibe I’m getting from this? it was the right thing to do and it’s what everyone wanted and he was good at it. but that doesn’t mean it’s what he wanted. but because it’s what was needed, he went ahead and did it
jesus christ. no wonder he can’t muster any genuine starry-eyed enthusiasm for the profession the way all of the other hero characters seem to do. it’s not his dream. it’s his burden
(ETA: yeah so. imagine saving someone’s life when you’re still just a child. being put on the spot and acting without any training, but doing your best because without you these people would die. and imagine that as a reward you’re told you have an obligation to take up the most dangerous occupation there is, and sacrifice your freedom and potentially your life in order to serve the greater good. and having no choice, because you are a good person, and so you can’t just refuse, knowing that there are more lives that you could save.
and as far as everyone else is concerned, you’re a prodigy, young and bold and gifted and living your best life. living a life that many others would envy. but the reality is you’re trapped, with no possible escape in sight other than the precarious hope that one day things will be good enough that your services will no longer be needed.
ladies and gentlemen, if I may hit you up with a blast from the past for one moment, please consider this quote from All Might all the way back in chapter one:
Hawks may have never been much of an All Might fan, but as it turns out, the two of them may have more in common than he ever realized.
yeah, so needless to say I’m watching you very closely Horikoshi, and if you so much as sneeze in a way that looks like you might be considering doing our lost little Icarus any harm, you and I are going to have words.)
and now we are cutting to the Todoroki home!
look at these sweet angels
Endeavor how did it take you so fucking long to realize what you had. you had it so fucking good, dude. these kids are all beautiful and smart and kind and talented and yet you either ignored them or treated them like absolute shit. god, man, you fucked up so bad. this is a second chance that you arguably didn’t deserve! but here you have it anyway! do not fucking waste this, dude
also loving that the Todorokis have such a traditional house but they still have the big flat screen TV right there. because they may be traditional but they still like to watch the cooking channel while they eat
so Endeavor is cautiously saying “long time no see” because you gotta start somewhere, huh
OH MY GOD
AIZAWA DROVE HIM HERE. AND THEN WHAT, JUST STAYED OUTSIDE TO WAIT?
(ETA: because who the hell would want to go and talk to Endeavor when you could stay outside and play with a cat instead)
DID THEY HAVE A MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION ON THE WAY OVER. OR WAS IT QUIET AND AWKWARD. PROBABLY A LITTLE OF COLUMN A AND A LITTLE OF COLUMN B. OH MY GOD. someone better have written fic about it!!
OH MY GOD
TODOROKI SHOUTO IS THE SASSIEST FUCKING CHARACTER IN THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN SERIES CONFIRMED. PACK IT UP BOYS. AIN’T NO ONE EVER GONNA OUTSASS THAT
ENJI I LOVE YOUR FUCKING KIDS SO MUCH YOUR FAMILY IS PERFECT YOU DON’T DESERVE THEM GODDAMN YOU
“JUST BECAUSE YOU HATE HIM”
oh shit Natsu’s getting to his feet and apologizing to Fuyu and saying that he just can’t do this
and he’s walking out the door, but Endeavor’s putting a hand on his shoulder as he leaves and telling him that if he has something to say to go ahead and say it
YOU GO AND PREACH IT, NATSU. YOU DESERVE TO GET IT ALL OFF YOUR CHEST AND HE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND JUST HOW BADLY HE HURT YOU OR YOU ALL ARE NEVER GONNA HEAL
and I mean, damn. if he didn’t even know Shouto’s favorite food was soba then that basically means he never so much as spent five minutes together with his little brother. Shouto fucking loves soba in the same way Deku loves All Might. it’s probably the purest love in the entire series
yet again the series gives us a glorious scene of Shouto eating food during a time of serious discussion. hungry boi Todoroki Shouto. Todoroki “are you going to finish that” Shouto
and Natsu’s thinking back to what Rei said about Enji trying to face his past and his family head on
but he’s not that forgiving
OH SHIT!?!?
TOUYA. THE FINAL TODOROKI CHILD. AND JUST LIKE WE SUSPECTED, HE IS THE OLDEST
and I get the feeling that whatever happened there is the real reason why Natsu has so much rage built up toward his dad. not that the rest of it wouldn’t be more than enough to make him feel that way, mind. “mom screaming and Shouto crying” holy shit. this family has so many fucking demons
this child needs some hugs people. not from you Endeavor. but maybe Fuyu can go comfort him later. you are valid Natsu and this rage is completely justified. 100%
oh my god this scene, though
this, right here, is the difference between redemption and forgiveness. I’ve essayed about this before. but here it is, vividly on display. Endeavor is actively working toward redeeming himself now, and yet he may never actually be forgiven. he can’t change the past and he can’t erase the hurt emanating from his son. pain that he himself caused. Natsuo may never forgive him, and he’s justified in hating him
but at the same time the only thing Endeavor can do is try anyway to be a better person. he came to all of these realizations much too late, and the damage was already done. but it’s not too late to do whatever he can now. and he clearly is trying to do that
just, it’s such a sad situation, and some really poignant writing, honestly
anyway, Natsuo’s just sarcastically screaming “oh, is that so?” and then storming out and tossing a belated apology over at his sister and thanking her for the food
wonder if he’ll run into Aizawa on his way out. Aizawa will no doubt be in for another interesting conversation with Shouto on the way home. someone write this fucking fic. if they haven’t already. holy shit
now Fuyu is holding her head frustratedly and saying that she was hoping that somehow they would finally able to become a proper family after all this
hey. don’t put this all on Shouto. he has even less reason to forgive Endeavor than Natsuo does. don’t pressure him, let him sort out his own feelings goddammit
...
Todoroki Shouto are you honestly a robot though
now the TV is suddenly cutting to the news and talking about Endeavor! what a fucking coincidence!
and it’s showing all these people giving their opinions after the most recent battle
the newscaster is all, “as you can see, the voices of anxiety haven’t changed”
but! “on the other hand...”
oh my god, Endeavor’s awesome fan now has his own fans. GOOD FOR YOU, CAN’T-YA-SEE-KUN
oh my fucking god
we have reached the point of in-universe memes. this is amazing. this kid’s face is plastered all over the BnHA universe’s version of tumblr. he is the new must-use reaction image. people post their faves struggling followed by “CAN’T YA SEE?!” and they get 100,000 likes. oh my god. this is magnificent
do you all realize what this means. there are memes in the BnHA universe. that means that there is a good likelihood that a number of the U.A. kids, who as we all know have risen to quite the level of fame and prominence themselves in a very short time, have their own memes
the sports festival was broadcast on national fucking television after all. you guys. what is the likelihood that broken-arms Deku became a meme (similar to the way he is in real fucking life). or chained-to-the-podium Bakugou. Bakugou would have been the perfect reaction image for any number of “I don’t want to be here” memes. “when your girlfriend wants to introduce you to her parents but you don’t want to go.” “when you’re in the car and your friend puts on a song you hate and you can’t change it because you don’t have the aux.” “when you’re streaming something and the 30-second ad break comes on and you can’t skip it”
oh my god. Bakugou Katsuki is famous for all the wrong reasons you guys
his mom probably saved all of her favorites and spams him with them constantly
anyways. gotta refocus here lol
so the interviewed people are continuing to gush about the battle. they’re hyped not just about Endeavor, but also Hawks and CYS-kun. “everyone was like, in unison, ‘let’s cheer him on!’ it was crazy!”
so here at least is a little bit of comfort for Endeavor. maybe some broken things can’t be mended, but at least he’s finally learning what it means to be a hero! AFTER TWENTY FIVE YEARS Y’ALL. LATE BLOOMER OR WHAT
-- oh my god!?
he can’t make eye contact while saying it. but he still said it. oh my god
and yet the fact that he made a point of clarifying that he was speaking of Endeavor the hero and not Endeavor his father implies a “but” coming on
yep
what kind of dad. can you become a good dad. you’re finally starting to figure all this shit out, but now here comes the biggest challenge of all
also Shouto is so fucking pure and precious, holy shit. “I haven’t forgiven you for how you tormented mom.” not himself. his mother. he doesn’t even bring his own abuse up. even though he has every right to point out that Endeavor specifically made his life a living hell from the time his quirk developed until the time he went off to high school
and is it because forgiveness for that is not even on the table? or is it because he’s already forgiven him? or is it just that he doesn’t even want to think about it because he’s not ready yet? and I sure hope it’s not because he doesn’t realize just how bad it was, though
just, oh man. so much to unpack here as usual with this family
oh my god Shouto
ENDEAVOR YOU SON OF A BITCH YOU DON’T DESERVE THIS GENTLE, THOUGHTFUL, COMPASSIONATE ANGEL OF A SON
and it’s clear he has no idea what to say in response to that, so he’s just standing there while meanwhile Fuyu is tearing up and telling Shouto she’ll bring him some more soup
holy shit we’re getting Endeavor’s first person thoughts now oh my god
like I said, all of this was brought on by him finally achieving the thing he’d sacrificed everything to achieve, only to come to the stark realization that it wasn’t worth it. at all. so a pretty painful catalyst, all things considered, but if any asshole ever needed that kick in the pants it was this fucker right here
oh fucking shit, fuck me if I’m not getting Endeavor feels oh fuck
“for what reason”, All Might asks. and Endeavor realizes: for our children
oh fuck oh fuck
okay so while I so far have very much liked the delicate way this whole process has been handled as far as his children go, when it comes to his wife that’s a whole nother story. that’s going to be even trickier to pull off, and just. oh boy I’m nervous now
(ETA: still nervous tbh. but I guess we’ll see)
so he’s turning to leave, and Fuyu is like “DAD NOW YOU TOO??”
-- and holy shit, he’s apologizing
for everything
bastard finally got those words out. I can hardly believe it
OH DAMN
FUCK ME IF THAT ISN’T EXACTLY WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME?
holy shit. holy fucking shit this is too damn good and I love it
oh fuck and now we’re cutting back to Heights Alliance. this may just be the one and only time I’ve ever been slightly disappointed to cut back to 1-A and their antics
and we’re cutting back to Deku, who’s wiped out from the day’s training and promptly collapsing into bed upon returning to his room
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE
WHAT THE HELL KIND OF SPOOKY FUCKING DREAM IS THIS. DEKU COVERED IN SOME KIND OF MYSTERIOUS BLACK FIRE??
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
SHIMURAAAAA
HOLY SHIT, IT’S CLEARLY HER. AND DEKU HAS NEVER SEEN HER FACE BEFORE AND YET THIS IS UNMISTAKABLE
IS THIS THE PAST AVATARS SHIT AGAIN AT LONG LAST?? HOLY SHIT?
OH MY GODDDDDDD
IS THAT ALL MIGHT!?!?!?
and he’s remembering that he’s seen this before. and of course we all recall back during his fight with Shinsou when this happened and he was suddenly able to activate OFA and break Shinsou’s mind control
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HOLY SHITTTTTT
I HAVEN’T CLICKED TO THE NEXT CHAPTER THIS FAST SINCE FUCKING DEKU VS KACCHAN PART TWO. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! I’M NOT EVEN GONNA FUCKING ANALYZE ANYTHING, FUTURE ME CAN FUCKING DO THAT. I’M JUST HYPED!! YESSSSSSSS. DEKU’S DAD VS HIS UNCLE LMAO
(ETA: well, future me isn’t going to add anything either, since this recap is long enough as it is. but this really is a great ending to an outstanding chapter you guys)
#bnha#boku no hero academia#endeavor#hawks#todoroki shouto#todoroki natsuo#todoroki fuyumi#midoriya izuku#bnha spoilers#mha spoilers#makeste reads bnha#this chapter is so densely packed you guys#it's like 2-3 chapters in one#hawks angst!#endeavor angst!#mystical one for all bs!#it's funny because sometimes horikoshi will just give you 13 pages of deku flying around being exploded by black lightning#but then other times we get this#19 pages of stunningly good character development#and this right here is what makes it all worth it

I have been so curious on your tags you have for groups...... can you please tell me a few because I am genuinely curious what you have for them. They are great and hilarious. Like baby nunu boulder I can think about at 3 am and laugh over it
Lmao, yeah I have a weird brain 😂 and I’d love to tell you! Idk what groups you’re into so I’ll just go through them all haha Some have stories, some are just obvious. But I’ll just give the rundown since I talk a lot anyway 😂
UPDATE: I have to put a keep reading thingy because, oh my god I wrote so much. I’m terrible.
Astro
MJ: Happy Virus
That’s a given I think since it’s something he’s known by but he really does make me extraordinarily happy so it fits.
JinJin: Smiley Jinwoo
I love his full name and I almost always use an idols full name in any situation. I mean “JinJin” is adorable obviously, but “Jinwoo” makes me real soft. And he’s a smiley puppy and I can think about his smile anytime and it will automatically make me feel a million times better.
Eunwoo: Prince Dongmin
Again with the full/real name. And “prince” because not only is he very princely in appearance, he also has, in my opinion, some of the most important qualities a prince should have. I’m all about appreciating him for more than just his face!
Moonbin: Binnie Bug
So I have this thing where I only call specific people “bug”. Like it’s not a nickname I use lightly, it’s special to me for a reason that I’m not even able to describe. Binnie just happens to be one of those specific people. And my favorite name to call him is “Binnie” because it sounds cuddly and cute and I call him “Bin” or “Moonbin” when he’s being rude 😂
Rocky: Dancing Minhyuk
Real name again 👍 and he’s extraordinary at dancing. Nothing exciting about this tag, honestly. It doesn’t mean I love him any less!!! I would protect him with my life.
Sanha: Bbu Bbu Sanha
Sanha is captain of Astro’s boat. 👌 And he’s beyond adorable when he says “bbu bbu” so every time I tag it it makes me giggle and smile because I think about how cute he is and how much I wanna pinch his cheeks urghhhhhh I love him.
Got7
Mark: Quiet Sparkle
Mark can sometimes be super quiet and reserved and I really like that side of him. I mean I love his weird loud side too but something about quiet Mark is oddly soothing to me. And to me, he literally sparkles at any given moment.
Jaebeom: Jaememe
I genuinely think it’s impossible for him to avoid being a living, breathing, walking meme and I love it so much.
Jinyoung: Heavenly Jinyoung
Another pretty generic one. He’s just straight up heavenly. In all the way omg (he’s such a great bias wrecker 😩 aghhhh save me from himmmm).
Jackson: Wang Puppy
A given. A typical nickname of his but I just think it’s so cute and accurate. I like to think he’s mainly cute and adorable considering I qualify him as my best friend and most people want to avoid falling in love with their best friend, but I will admit that he messes with my head sometimes and thus, the tag is far from accurate in those cases…
Youngjae: Happy Sunshine
The light of my life (well one of them. MJ and Yeonjun and Youngjae are all one giant sunshine of my life). And happy is my favorite look on him. Excuse me while my heart flutters because I love him so much.
Bambam: Damn Bambam
I actually say this multiple times a day. And more than just for when he’s doing something ridiculously attractive. Sometimes it’s “damn Bambam, why are you so cute and dumb?” other times it’s “damn, Bambam is the best meme.” just to name a few 😂
Yugyeom: Brownie
I know this is also a common nickname for him, although I think people spell it Browny, but for some weird reason, when I first got into Got7, I don’t remember exactly what Yugyeom did, but it made me think of a cosmic brownie, ya know the little debbie snacks, and that’s what was in my brain when I thought up a tag for him 😂
TXT
Yeonjun: Baby Sunshine
He’s the baby out of my three sunshines, the other two as previously stated being MJ and Youngjae. He seriously makes me giddy with happiness and, like I said before, he lights up my life and makes it better.
Soobin: Cucumber Watermelon
I read somewhere when they first debuted that he has a nickname of “cucumber” because he’s tall and I thought it was cute and went with it. The “watermelon” part is because one of my favorite outfits he’s ever worn reminded me of a watermelon. I shall include a photo to illustrate my point, but also because he’s adorable.
Tadaaaaa!!!
Beomgyu: Fluffy Sparkle
Because he’s fluffy and cuddly and cute and squishy and I just wanna squeeze him. Plus fluffy hair on him is my favorite. And he’s another natural born sparkler. Idk how he and Mark do it!
Taehyun: Doe Eyes
They were the first thing I noticed about him. They always look so gentle. Even if he’s bursting with happiness and laughing away, his eyes are still so sweetly soft. I love them.
Hueningkai: Dollbaby
I took one look at this boys face and thought he was an absolute doll. That perfect porcelain skin and those defined petite features, he’s just beautiful and a lot of the time he doesn’t even look real to me.
Monsta X
Shownu: Baby Nunu Boulder
I too laugh at this on a regular basis lmao. He seriously has such a baby face though. Like it’s so cute and his eyes when he laughs I just *squeals into a pillow* “Nunu” because it’s a nickname of his and “boulder” because he’s, well, very large 😂
Wonho: Sin Axolotl
I explained this recently but I’ll just say it again since I’m on a roll lmao. He’s, a lot of the time, sinful to look at. But he’s also basically the cutest living being. And if he was an animal, I know everyone says bunny which I totally agree with, but in my brain, he’s an axolotl. I made a post about it a while back with photos side by side and, quite frankly, I cried a little about how cute I find the comparison to be. Maybe I’ll look for it, and cry again, and repost it.
Minhyuk: Soft Angel Face
I don’t mean this in a negative way so I’m not really sure how to word this without it sounding that way, but 95% of the time, I’m not wildly attracted to Minnie. It’s not that I don’t find him attractive at all, it’s just he’s more often than not extraordinarily adorable and pretty to me. There’s still that 5% of the time where he messes with my head but for the most part, he’s very soft and sweet and angelic looking to me.
Kihyun: Hamster Clam
This is one of my personal favorites 😂 This is the one I think about at 3 AM and laugh about. He’s compared to a hamster all the time and I love it so much and think it’s so accurate. But the clam part *starts laughing again* There’s this moment in some interview of MX’s, I have no idea what it was since I’ve never seen the full thing, just this clip that’s permanently ingrained in my mind, but Kihyun says something about like clam chowder or something and than Changkyun takes the mic and says “You look like a clam. Sorry.” It makes me laugh randomly and that’s why I chose it. Every Monbebe knows about that clip I’m sure. I’m still relatively new here so I don’t know everything and feel like I have to explain what I do know lmao
Hyungwon: Anime Prince
He’s so princely to me. Like he just looks regal. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a complete dork, but he looks very princely in my opinion. And to me, and probably other people, he looks like he just stepped out of an anime at any given moment of any given day. As an anime and manga lover, it makes me feel some type o’ way.
Jooheon: Joobee
Obviously known as JooHoney, I wanted to go off the beaten path and this is what my brain came up with. It’s not very creative, I’m aware of that. But I think it sounds really adorable and it fits him and I’d probably call him that if I knew him irl too.
Changkyun: Crisis Causing Boy
Curse this boy, I swear. He messes with me sooooo much. One minute he’s squishy and so so cute and I just wanna cuddle with him. The next minute he’s *string of curse words*. A demon. A demon, I tell you. He has caused me to have more crises than I can count so that’s why his tag is what it is.
As for tags for members of other groups I don’t stan yet, I only have one because I couldn’t pass up the opportunity when it presented itself in my brain. Also, I consider Ateez to be one of the groups I stan but I don’t have tags for them other than their names yet. Anyway, the one I have a tag for.
Woozi: Oojigoojigoo
I both hate myself for this and am impressed that I’m crazy enough to think of this. I just had to find out that his name is pronounced “oo-ji” and not phonetically. My exact thoughts when I discovered this are as follows: *gasp* “Ooji.” *has epiphany* *another gasp* “A baby.” *fawns over his cuteness* “Ooji - gooji - goo!” *is ashamed* “I’m a disgrace. I am the scum of the earth. I’m a genius!”
So yeah, I wrote a fucking novel I’m sorry 😂 You probably didn’t want all of this information. But now everyone knows my secrets…..? Are they secrets? Not really. Anyway, I’m sorry this is the longest post ever but I hope you at least find something of this entertaining or cute or any positive emotion really. And thank you so much for asking. I love exposing my horrible mind and terrible sense of humor to the world.
No seriously thank you. I’ve got questions about my tags before so I’m glad people are at least somewhat interested in them and what they mean/where they came from. I might update this is I think of more tags for the groups I get into in the future. This was fun. For fucks sake, I need to shut up, I’m so sorry.
#cute anon#anon i love you#thank you for asking really#i'm so weird i know#i hope something made you laugh or smile#it's so much to read#this won't get any notes because i wrote a stupid novel and no one wants to read this much of my babble lmao#to anyone that does read it all:#you brave soul you can have my heart#you might not want it because i'm so bizarre but you get to have it anyway#god i can't stop talking#i need to sleep#manga first and then sleep#but sleep soon#ok bye now#aly won't shut up#love beans#hot7/dork7#txt#monsta x out here fkn everybody up

Chekhov’s Bathroom
RECORD SCRATCH -
so you may be wondering how I got myself into this situation -
PREVIOUSLY ON DANGANRONPA V3...
... we found out the classroom has an incredibly interesting mechanism that not only creates flashback lights, but immediately transforms the whole setup back to normal the moment someone comes in. WHICH. UH. IS HUGE.
Also, we’re nowhere near the girl’s bathroom - but we’re getting to that, I promise.
.... Also also, Himiko is alive, which is very good! And I’m super happy for her! I’m just, uh, distracted, that’s all.
L-LOOK HIMIKO I AM REALLY HAPPY TO SEE YOU BUT I DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT WE’VE JUST UNCOVERED HERE -
Oh crap that’s right though! I guess we aren’t assuming she was able to dislodge it enough from her side by way of time and effort? .... I did just associate the word effort with Himiko, didn’t I. T-TO BE FAIR THOUGH, SHE HAS GOTTEN CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT -
sweetcheeks has the cutest little ‘e-eto...’ sound clip istg
Aaaaw Shuichi! He’s gotten so much better at expressing his feelings!
LMAO HIMIKO
WE’RE TREADING INTO UMINEKO TERRITORY WITH THAT SORT OF LANGUAGE man she really is trying to change the genre even now
I was going to say you really need to tell her about the flashback light machine you found but now I’m afraid of bursting her bubble. 8′D
....
You know what? Speaking of adorable sound clips, her ‘KA KA KA - !’ is also cute af. Equality!
- another seacats references
sweetcheeks I’m sorry I can’t help it
okay I know that it’s just the building collapsing from the damage but at the same time -
“K1-B0 CAN YOU PLEASE WATCH YOUR AIM!”
“SORRY CAN’T HEAR YOU, I ONLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY FINISH MY FTES -”
I was just one away k1-b0 I was just one away -
“And how crazy would it be if someone died in an investigation, anyway - oh wait -”
Yet another bone for the my fellow Umineko fans but man I can’t get over the similarities between Maria and her - I honestly wonder if she was inspired by her at all. 8′D
ANYWAY IGNORE ME TIME TO DECONSTRUCT THE MAGIC SOLUTION -
..... you lost me. But I suppose that’s why she’s inviting us to investigate the bathroom with her -
HIMIKO. HIMIKO. FOCUS.
......... this would be a bad time to bring up the Love Hotel, huh.
It would also be a good time to bring up the whole flashback light situation too, but??? We don’t? Okay, fine. Moving on, I suppose.
MORE RUNNING - though at least it’s a lot closer than the other spots? LIKE A CERTAIN ASTRONAUT’S LAB LOOK I LOVE YOU KAITO AND TSUMUGI BUT FFS WAS THAT NECESSARY -
Omg I love Shuichi’s internal monologue here as he stares at the bathroom door and tries to psyche himself up after going in -
Full disclosure Shuichi? It’s just a room. I’ve accidentally walked into the guy’s room myself. It’s... just a room. It’s not a big deal. Just. Just go in there, dude.
SWEETCHEEKS. YOU ALSO NEED TO FOCUS.
IT’S REALLY NOT A BIG DEAL UNLESS IT’S IN USE.
One step two step three step you can do this Shuichi Saihara this bathroom’s got nothing on you, we have the Detective’s Authority on our side - !
“Please tell me quickly before I pass out from stress.”
................ this sounds more like the Chamber of Secrets to me, but okay.
Wait, no, seriously, were they connected? Since when was Junko’s hidden room connected to the bathroom? I swear they weren’t??? Wasn’t there a special control room and everything? Am I misremembering?
?????? Seriously, though? W-What in the world are you talking about???
Honestly if this appeared behind the sink I would have freaked out. .... Well, more than I’m freaking out, for multiple reasons. There’s the general ‘oh shit a secret passage’ and then there’s the more specific my brain associates two characters with this room because of a certain scene for shipping purposes and one of them is still alive, currently with us, and incredibly suspicious -
Oh goodness, how fitting that they left finding the hidden passage for the Ultimate Magician. 8′)
Where’s the exit then? Like, the hidden one that leads to the bathroom? Was it also concealed in case this room was discovered?
.................wait,
wait
WAIT
I NEED TO LOOK UP SOMEtHING -
BECAUSE I SWEAR
TSUMUGI SAID SHE WENT TO THE BATHROOM IN CHAPTER 1 WHEN WE WERE COLLECTING ALIBIS - or someone said she did? There was the whole group that went downstairs, Kaede and Shuichi in the classroom, and the ones left upstairs were Kokichi, Miu, Korekiyo, Tsumugi, and... Ryoma? K1-b0? Did Ryoma get invited down? He seems like he would’ve been an asset but okay now’s not the time to criticize Kaito’s ‘best fighters’ choices -
oh god where’s the screenshot I really didn’t document anything in the first chapter at all lmao -
I just - I just remember it being so weird at the time? Like a random tangent that went nowhere? She just said she went to the washroom, they followed up for like, five minutes, and then that was it - or... or something, right? Because she never went past Kaede and Shuichi? And then there were apologies passed around for accusing her, and I thought it was cute at the time, and I thought she was kinda cute, and Ryoma too, and oh god I miss them but I’m getting distracted -
OOOH MY GOD I ALWAYS THOUGhT THIS WAS WEIRD POInT BUt ULTIMATELY DISMISSED IT AS UNIMPORTANT WHEN THE GAME SEEMED TO MOVE COMPLETELY PAST IT
Enter through the bathroom.... run out and grab the handbook.... sneak back up while no one’s the wiser? What if Kaede’s plan had failed???? Then again, Tsumugi said she had the aura of a protagonist.... did she have that much faith in her to succeed? this is some twisted Kaemugi at work lmao
And omfg it wasn’t included on Rantaro’s map for the sole purpose of setting him up for some kind of ambush -
A mastermind who, honestly, was heavily hinted to be female with the initial ‘mother’ comments in Chapter 4 but has definitely been confirmed.
Also this game is really driving over how badly the mastermind screwed Rantaro over. what was it she said, backflip onto a landmine and die or something -
SWEETCHEEKS DID YOU REALIZE TOO???
Then again you didn’t have the benefit of being with me for the Chapter 1 fanservice scene... 8′D
GOOD.
T... thanks for confirming I suppose.
.... ew. Why can’t being busted stop you from talking, too.
Wait... really??? Why? Shouldn’t you and the mastermind have the same shared interests at heart?? Even if you’re at your end, shouldn’t you want to protect the identity of the mastermind - or at least keep on with this whole Kaede frame-job?
... But yeah, okay, I get it now - they’re trying to drive that phrase into my brain, and I think I understand why. I just, uh, wish there was another way about it, or that the wording could be a bit different, that’s all. 8′D
BUT WHY
OH NOW YOU’LL SHUT UP
oh ew it vomited like, motor oil or something. Eeeew.
>:|
Man K1-b0, even though I’m pretty sure it was Monotaro that caused the explosion, you really... really aren’t being careful with your classmates’ lives anymore, huh?
J-J... Just let her have this one, Shuichi. It’s okay to add a layer of fantasy as long as we can get the answer. 8′D
I’m so glad we have a little chance for sassy Sweetcheeks to rear his head.
I still want to get a visual on what the pathway looks like from the mastermind’s end but I guess just knowing it exists is enough. 8′D Ah well.
And then Shuichi says nothing LMAO SHUICHI SHE IS BEGGING YOU FOR SOME EXTERNAL VALIDATION
He.... he’s getting better, but man he’s still pretty obtuse when it comes to emotions. I’m glad that while he’s showing some improvements, he didn’t just transform all at once.
Anyway, after Shuichi and I try to leave and Himiko literally doesn’t move Shuichi realizes that there’s some emotional work he needs to do on the side of his detective work. Himiko still has to spell it out for him though. B-Baby steps, kid.
LITERALLY. HAS TO GUIDE HIM THROUGH HER VULNERABILITY. LIKE, HANDHOLDING HIM THE ENTIRE WAY.
.... Though this made me smile. Aaaaw, that’s pretty sweet. Just a thought, but I wonder if this is another case of him thinking everyone else is on the same page as him and projecting, the same way he does with his anxieties? ‘This is the clue that will change everything. And now that I know that, surely Himiko does too.’ It’s another example of him diminishing his own skill as a detective - “if I could do this, anyone can” - so naturally, he had already assumed Himiko understood this. Why would she be worried if she already knew the huge contribution she had just made, after all?
anyway small tangent ignore me
You’re the Ultimate Mage. :D
Sometimes I’m a little worried about indulging in her magic/escapism fantasies but then she smiles like this and I can’t help but think it’s worth it ~ she has been through so much, you know? She needs something familiar lol to lean on and as long as it’s not impending the investigation like it did in Chapter 2.... 8′D
Adrenaline is disappearing, huh? Well, keep that energy up - now we have to be nearly done, right? .... Right? What else could there possibly be?
“Shuichi come quick there’s something weird in Hotel Kumasutra -”
“NO. NO, I REFUSE!!!!”
“OH GOD COOTIES, THERE ARE DEFINITELY COOTIES EVERYWHERE -”
lmao Shuichi never change

Hi! I emailed tumblr support about it since it has been over a month since it has been up for review. Hopefully they get it worked out soon <3 there is a picture of it on my download page if you want to look at it there
Anonymous said: Hey, how do I do Patreon? I want to but i’m new to all those things of Patreon cause now I want lots of hairs that need it, and I wanna learn how can I Patreon you!
Hello! Hopefully you see this haha. Patreon is sort of like Netlfix in it is a monthly charge for goods. To get 3 cc hairs early each month, it is a $1 pledge. Higher pledges get better rewards(such as watching me work on cc, getting to vote on hair releases, and more). I think that Patreon is a great way to help support creators as long as they do it right (no exclusive CC). I really hope this helps you and thank you so much if you decide to pledge any ammount <3

hey!! sorry for the super late reply omg, welcome to simblr!! it is kinda crazy here but hopefully u can find ur peeps and make a nice home :) anywaysssss i think u mean recoloring, which is like when people add different colors other than the 18 EA base colors. I don’t allow people to use the meshes mainly bc I know that sometimes I have to go back and update things and this way the recolors don’t have a broken mesh and require that person to redo their package.

urgg i really wish i could make video tutorials and stuff for blender and hairs :( I have tried about 3 or 4 times to record/stream and it is so laggy and just pure shit on stream and twitch.

{masterlist}
You had been in awkward car rides before. There was the time that eight year old you threw up all over your friend’s cute older brother on a family road trip, or the time when you had accompanied your cousin and his girlfriend on a lake trip where she said no when he asked her to marry him. Once, on a high school band trip, you accidentally gave a boy a boner the night before travelling home, and spent the rest of the next day avoiding him over the entirety of the bus and the plane rides with the help of your friends. All of those experiences were sufficiently awkward, but, you had come to learn, none of them compared to the bus ride back to Columbia after you discovered that your biology partner was Spider-Man.
Each of you were tense in your stance, not allowing any parts of your body to touch the other, even on the small faux leather seat. You kept your gaze glued to the scenery outside your window, watching as the trees by the side of the road flew by. You were hyper aware of Peter next to you as he sat with his arms crossed, eyes firmly staring at his planted feet. He hadn’t shifted since you had settled into your seats an hour and a half ago, and neither had you. In your mind, you couldn’t help but reply the event that had unfolded in the cave, your discovery, and what had followed.
The moment the words, “You’re the Spider-Man,” had left your lips, you knew that you had crossed a line in yours and Peter’s relationship (a relationship that should have been over by the end of that field trip. A relationship that shouldn’t even be big enough to have lines.) As the boy stared at you with a mix of shock, anger, and fear, you had wished, not for the first time in your life, that you weren’t so impulsive and curious. You had to know the answer to everything the moment you asked a question, and it had always gotten you into trouble; this, however, had been the first time that the need to know the answer had been at the cost of someone else’s safety.
“I knew this cave was a dumb idea,” Peter had started running his hands through his hair anxiously. “I knew this was going to end badly, I could sense it—”
“Is that your Spidey Sense?” You interrupted him before you could stop yourself. “I read an article on arachnids last year that mentioned how spiders can sense things with the little hairs on their bodies, through vibrations—” Peter had given you an incredulous look, and you bit your lip. “Right, sorry. Not the time to discuss arachnid abilities.”
“Y/N,” Peter grabbed your shoulders, gripping them tightly as he looked into your eyes. The fire raced again from where he touched you. “You can’t tell anyone. No one can know about this.”
You had taken a step back at that moment, out of Peter’s reach, as you tried to focus your thoughts. “No shit I can’t tell anyone! I shouldn’t even know! Parker, seriously, this just made our relationship so much more complicated than it should be.”
“Are you really blaming me for saving you from a fall to your death?” Peter asked in disbelief, crossing his arms.
“No, I—” You took a deep breath and closed your eyes, pinching the bridge of your nose. “No. Thank you for saving me. I’m sorry, but I don’t really know how to react in this situation, okay? There’s no WikiHow on what to do when you find out your biology partner is Spider-Man.”
“How do you think I feel?” Peter had laughed once without humour, raking his hand through his hair again (it seemed to be a nervous tic). “Only three people in the world outside of the Avengers know about my abilities, and they’re all people I would follow to hell and back.”
“Well, how did they react when you told them?” You questioned, wondering if there was a correct response that you weren’t seeing.
“I, um—” Peter looked at the ground sheepishly. “Well, Aunt May and Ned kind of…walked in on me in the suit. And MJ just…figured it out.”
“So you’ve never actually told anyone on purpose?” You scoffed. “Parker, for someone with such a huge secret to keep, I thought you’d be better at actually keeping it.”
“I—we shouldn’t even be talking about this,” Peter had glanced around the cavern, then at the passage behind him. “We need to go catch up to the class, but I need you to promise that you won’t breathe a word of this to anyone. Seriously, Y/N. Just…forget what happened in here, okay? Pretend you didn’t see anything, please.”
You sighed in defeat. “Fine, I promise. Lead the way out, Spider-Boy.”
Peter flinched, shaking his head. “Don’t call me that.”
By the time the bus pulled up to the school, he still hadn’t said a word to you, and the moment the vehicle had parked, he was out of his seat and heading towards the front of the bus. You stared at his retreating figure with a mix of curiosity and perplexity. Despite thinking about the events of the day the entire ride back to Columbia, you still had trouble wrapping your head around what had transpired.
You made your way off the bus and back to your dorm, shutting the door tightly behind you. Yesterday, Peter Parker had barely been a blip on your radar, but now you couldn’t get him off your mind. You knew that he wanted you to just forget about everything that had happened, but how could you? You were curious and inquisitive by nature, and had to know everything about everything. There was no way you would be able to make yourself forget about Peter’s secret, nor would you be able to stop yourself from trying to find out everything you could about how he got his abilities and what it was like as an Avenger.
You passed the rest of the day in your dorm, researching Spider-Man and watching clips on YouTube. You’d seen many of them before, but now that you knew who was underneath the mask, it was like a whole new perspective. Like you’d only ever seen the videos through muddy, streaky glass, and now you were watching them clearly for the first time.
Whenever Spider-Man was hit or seemed to be hurt, you felt your breath catching in your chest. It had never occurred to you that there was a real boy in there—a bit of an annoying boy, if you were being honest with yourself, but a real one nonetheless—and knowing the face underneath the mask made you so much more anxious.
For the rest of the weekend, you tried to put that anxiety behind you, and continue with your regular routine. You met with your study groups, you went for lunch with friends, you stayed up much later than you should have (with the help of three pots of coffee) to make study cards for an upcoming physics quiz—overall, a typical weekend in your life. Who cared if you were now a keeper of one of the biggest secrets of someone you barely knew? It was fine. Everything was fine.
Except, it wasn’t, because it seemed that while you were dedicated to keeping things as normal as possible, Peter had decided to become dedicated to watching your every move. You could tell he didn’t trust you with the knowledge of his powers from his body language on the bus ride back to campus, but your theory was confirmed that weekend. No matter what you were doing, or where you were, Peter seemed to show up. He was sitting in a corner with a book and a coffee cup when you met your friend Sadie for lunch at a café on campus. He was typing away on a laptop (and peering at you from over the top of the screen) while you and your study group compared notes in the library. On Sunday night, when you opened your door at 11:30 to pick up more creamer for your coffee, Peter was standing outside, trying to act like he hadn’t just been standing patrol outside your dorm room.
“Okay, Parker, this is getting weird now,” You rolled your eyes and shut your door quietly behind you, trying not to disturb the other students in your building. “When your stalking was happening in public places, I could ignore it, but camping outside my dorm room is a bit much, even for me.”
“I’m not stalking you,” Peter shook his head and crossed his arms, following you as you began to walk down the hall.
“Oh, sorry, does it have a fancy new name now?” You raised an eyebrow. “Like how people are saying they’re ‘alt-right’ instead of Nazis? What would you call this, non-consensual hanging out?”
“Surveillance.” Peter cut in front of you, stopping you in your tracks. “I need to make sure you’re not spilling my secret to anyone.”
“Listen, I’m not the Avenger here, so I don’t really know much about surveillance and secret keeping,” You shrugged your shoulders and flipped your key through your fingers over and over. “But I would think that surveillance is supposed to be more incognito than following me everywhere in plain sight. And a secret doesn’t stay a secret if you keep bringing it up.”
“Well, what am I supposed to do?” Peter replied angrily. “A virtual stranger now knows the most private thing in my life; excuse me for being anxious about it.”
“Do you want to talk about it?” You questioned, crossing your arms. “That always helps when I’m anxious about stuff. I’m down for talking about it, if you want.”
“I feel like that’s not a good idea,” Peter shook his head, causing you to sigh in return.
“Parker, come on, I already know your big secret,” You rubbed a tired hand across your eye. “What else could possibly come out from talking that could be more dangerous for me to know?”
Peter didn’t respond. You uncrossed your arms and held out the key card to your room. The boy stared at the card uncomprehendingly until you spoke.
“Here, I’m room 29B, although it seems you already knew that.” You held out the key card until Peter took it, looking back up at you with confusion still in his eyes.
“What—?”
“I have to go get more coffee creamer, and the convenience store is only open for another—” You pulled out your phone to check the time. “Twenty-seven minutes. I’ll be back in about ten, so just…make yourself at home. I’d say don’t go snooping, but…I feel like I don’t have a right to say that? If you did, at least it would make us even. Sort of.”
“Oh, yeah, because going through your panty drawer to find your diary is totally the same as knowing I’m a superhero.” Peter nodded his head sarcastically.
“Actually, my diary is underneath my mattress,” You began walking away, throwing a smirk over your shoulder as you left for the convenience store. “It’s my vibrator that’s in my panty drawer.”
The convenience store employee’s name was Isaac, who was a fellow student. He obviously seemed to be having a rough night, as he was slumped over the counter nursing a cup of coffee the size of your face. You greeted him as you entered the store, heading to the refrigerated section.
“Hey, Y/N,” Isaac yawned as he scanned the plastic container you set on the counter. “Ooh, caramel flavour. Splurging tonight, aren’t we?”
“What can I say; I live a life of luxury,” You smile wryly as you hand over a few dollar bills. “Keep the change.”
“Thanks, big spender,” Isaac took a sip of his drink. “See you in Calc on Tuesday?”
“Wouldn’t miss it.” You picked up your creamer and waved goodbye, exiting the store.
You made your way back to your dorm room as fast as you could, pulling your hoodie tighter around you in the chilly night air. When you reached your door, you raised a hand to knock, but paused upon hearing Peter talking inside the room. Intrigued, you pressed an ear to the door, trying to stay as silent as possible.
“No, I haven’t told Mr. Stark yet,” Peter’s muffled voice seemed irritated. “Why? Ned, are you crazy? Because he can’t know that some random girl knows about me!”
There was a pause, and you assumed the person on the other end of the phone call (Ned—that was one of the people that knew Peter’s secret identity) answered back.
“I just—I just have to make sure she won’t tell anyone,” Peter sighed, and you could hear him pacing slowly. “I’m kind of freaked out, man; I don’t even know her. It would be different if it was Liz or someone I was friends with. When MJ found out, at least I knew that—hey, don’t tell her about this, okay? I’ll never hear the end of—you already told her?” Peter groaned. “Oh, come on, Ned, whose side are you on?” Another pause. “I don’t blame you, man. If I had to choose sides, I’d pick MJ, too.”
Deciding you had heard enough, you raised your hand to the door and knocked quietly a few times. Inside, you heard Peter’s pacing stop.
“She’s back, I have to go,” Peter whispered, but you could still make out his words. “I’ll talk to you later. Good luck on your coding test.”
A moment later, the door opened up to reveal Peter, curls a mess as he stood back to let you in. You entered the room, surveying your home to see if anything had been touched or moved. Everything looked to be in place…except for your diary, which was laying on top of your bed and opened to the middle of the book.
“Find anything interesting?” You asked, making your way to your coffee maker. You began filling a coffee filter with grounds before starting the machine up and turning back around to face the boy. Your diary was more of a venting space where you kept track of classes, exams, dreams, and events of the day. You didn’t expect Peter to find any deep, dark secrets.
“Not really,” Peter shrugged, not bothering to pretend he hadn’t sorted through your personal items. “Except for the fact that you have really weird dreams. What’s up with that one about the cat and—”
“I read a lot of books with talking animals as a kid,” You interrupted, crossing your arms as your coffee maker beeped from behind you. “Coffee?”
“Sure,” Peter sighed, running a hand through his hair (seriously, this kid was going to make himself bald before he was thirty if he kept doing that). “Cream and sugar, please.”
You made a cup for Peter and a cup for yourself, making sure to be very liberal with the cream and sugar (you actually didn’t like coffee that much, but it kept you awake). You handed a mug to Peter and sat down on your desk chair, surveying the boy.
“So,” You blew on your coffee before taking a small sip. “Tell me about your friends.”
“What?” Peter’s brow furrowed as he took a sip of the drink you handed to him.
“Look, I was happy to never be more than casual classmate acquaintances with you,” You rested your head on your propped up hand. “But then all this spider bullshit happened, and you decided to stalk me—”
“Surveillance.”
“—so it’s obvious that we are now in each other’s lives.” You finished, glaring at Peter when he interrupted you. “I’m worried about you in the suit, you’re worried about me telling people about you in the suit…we have to coexist somehow. As annoying as it may be. So tell me about your friends.”
“But why—?”
“Because knowing practically nothing about you makes this a lot weirder than it already is!” You snapped, setting your mug down on your desk. “Do you know what you’re supposed to know about acquaintances? Their name and, like, where they’re from. That’s pretty much it. Do you know what I know about you? Your name, where you’re from, and the fact that you’re fucking Spider-Man!”
“Keep your voice down,” Peter hissed, glancing around the room. “Dorm walls are fucking thin!”
“Like. Full disclosure? This entire thing is freaking me the fuck out and I’m trying to stay calm, but it’s still weird. So, Parker, for the last time,” You inhale deeply and breathe out slowly. “Tell me about your friends.”
Peter sighed, took another sip of his coffee, and began to talk. He told you about his best friend, Ned, who was in California majoring in computer science at Stanford, and his other best friend, Michelle (“But we all call her MJ.”), who was a political science major at Princeton (“Didn’t Michelle Obama go to Princeton?” “Why do you think MJ picked it?”). He spoke about his aunt, who had raised him all his life (you didn’t want to ask about his parents; you had a feeling it was a touchy subject.), and a little about the Avengers. But just barely.
“Mr. Stark is kind of—” Peter cut off his sentence abruptly, glancing back up at you. “Um. I don’t think I should talk about that.”
“Whatever, Parker,” You twisted your hair into a bun and tied an elastic around it. “You should probably get going, anyways. It’s late.”
Peter nodded and stood up from his seat on your bed, setting his mug down on your desk.
“So,” He began as he walked to the door. “I’ll save you a seat in class tomorrow?”
“Why?” Your eyebrows furrowed as Peter opened the door. “We’ve been sitting apart for the entire semester so far.”
“No matter how many cups of coffee you make me, or how many diary entrees I read,” Peter paused in the doorframe. “I don’t know if I’ll ever really trust you. No offence, Y/N—”
“Some taken?”
“But I still need to keep an eye on you.” Peter walked through the door and set a hand on the doorknob. “So I’ll save you a seat in class tomorrow. Sleep tight. And don’t let the bed bugs bite.”
You watched in disbelief as the door closed in your face, and Peter Parker was gone.

Prince!Ren AU
this was such a GOOD look for ren please bring this back amen thank u
Genre;; royal!au ++prince!au fluff uhhhh aka my fave
Warnings;; none,, i mean not that i know of??? It’s pure fluff?? maybe a tiny bit angsty idk but if u dont like boys who can’t cook dont read??
Pairing;; Choi Minki/Ren x reader
Requested;; yes (by anon)
Summary;; Ren is a prince who has moved to your country to study to be a King, and he happens to be your neighbour. Things don’t go too smoothly when you find out his identity...
Style;; bullet point + stuff
Word Count; 2530
AHHH i love royal aus so expect this to be;; long and detailed;; because i also stan minki,,, and he is already a prince,, coming up with a plot for this wasnt hard lmfaoooo;; i got my big ass 2litre bottle of water ready its 1am and its WRITING TIME
Ren was born into the royal family of a small country in East Asia
He was originally second in line until his brother Minseok gave up his right to the throne so he achieve his dream (that didn't involve being king lmao;;)
So little 8 year-old Minki is now thrust into the spotlight
Up until this point he’s had like;; no training on how to be a King
So he decides when he gets to his twenties he’ll go abroad to study politics and languages and stuff
So he can still be a good king when the time comes;;
But he doesn’t want to be treated like a prince wherever he goes so,, he instead decided to go by his real name rather than his royal name when he’s abroad (which less people know)
(okay it is a thing like prince harry’s name is actually henry FUN FACT)
But he’s super talented like;; he has a way with words and he’s really popular in his country
Because not only is he really beautiful but he’s also amazingly funny with a great personality
Like I mean it when I say he could probably make friends with a brick wall
He’s a little;; weird;; but it just makes him even more loveable sdjhfgjsd
He’s honestly treasured by his country because he just seems like a normal human he doesn’t try to act better than anyone else uh BLESS how kIND
ANYWAY
So the time comes for him to go;; and he chooses on going to your country!! (and your university what a coincidence am i right)
Now you’re just a lowly university student living in a block of flats not far from the campus
And it’s a nice block of flats but you’re on the 8th floor and the lift doesn’t work;; yikes
I mean at least you’re not on the 10th floor right??
So when you see someone moving into the flat next to your with boxes and boxes of stuff you are overcome with pity like;;; yeah you did that once before too
And you muster up the courage to go and help out this guy who is reALLY struggling with his suitcases
He nods a thank you as you pick up one of the suitcases and carry it up the last flight of stairs,, too tired to even speak (i feel u bro)
When you both reach the top he points out which room to take his bags to and guess what
He’s your new neighbour! (yay)
You help him put all the bags in his room and after about 3 minutes of trying to get all his breath back he manages to whisper a ‘thank you’ and offers you some tea
Obviously you take him up on the offer I mean you’re a uni student free sustenance is v good
BUT you have to go back to your room because;; well;; a welcome gift??
All you have in your room that's suitable are like candles and stuff but… don’t get me wrong but this guy doesn’t seem like the biggest fan of candles especially after walking up 8 flights of stairs
So you decide on giving him some of your sweet potatoes and a cute little keyring that your friend gave you that you’ve never used
It’s a little rabbit with a tiara on how ;; cute ;;
When you return to his apartment suddenly the shaggy looking guy who you helped carry his stuff up the stairs is now;; this beautiful man;;
Hes mid-way through making the tea when he notices you’ve returned
And he looks up and flashes you the cutest lil eye smile lol
Oh my god are they the same people even
He finishes making the tea and walks over to shake your hand
‘It's a pleasure to meet you!! I’m Choi Minki~’ he smiles, taking your hand in his
Shfsdhfjgshdjfh his hands are soft what (listen my fave hc is that minki has super super soft hands @ me on this gn)
‘Ahhh hi yes,, i’m y/n and i’m your neighbour!! I got you a present’
His face lights up when he sees the present sdfhdjhf
‘How did you know i love bunnies??’
You both sit down on the sofa in the middle of his flat surrounded by boxes
Drinking your tea and talking about life
You discover he’s attending the same university as you;; studying politics and modern languages
He’s like;; super smart but he doesn’t show it off at all??
But there’s something about his face that seems really familiar
Like as though you’ve seen him before but you don’t know where
So you just assume he reminds you of an old friend or something
As time passes you get really close
You walk with each other everyday to campus and back, you tell each other absolutely everything and you even cook for one another on alternate nights
One night when it was Minki’s turn to cook he was making some food from his home country;; cold spicy noodles (i love those pls omg)
And ahh he is not at all good at cooking but he tries hard so;; let’s let him off yeah
But he concentrates so hard but he genuinely just;; burns everything like idek how he does it don’t let minki cook;;
In the end he just;; gives up so you cook together!!
And as you’re quickly making a batch of pancakes together he decides yeah good time for a food fight
Proceeds to chuck flour all over you
And as he’s laughing at your pain you realise wow okay yeah his laugh is cute oh nOOOO you got a crush on your weird neighbour????
Obviously you ;; don’t make this known and eat your damn pancakes in peace
After chucking flour right back at Minki of course
Over the next few days he just suddenly stops coming into uni because;; he’s in a couple classes with you let’s just say you’re a politics student lol
You try knocking on his apartment door a couple times and nobody replies even when you call his name
You basically put 2 and 2 together
And make 5
And assume that he’s deliberately avoiding you because he realised your crush
In reality there’s been a minor problem in his country;; a law is being passed through government that’s quite controversial to do with like;; minority rights and stuff;; so he’s had to return to fight to get it passed and he didn’t really want to leave without saying anything but;; he also didn’t want to reveal who he was to the whole world
It’s a constitutional monarchy and democracy thing okay pls; i can’t explain political systems;
One night about a week after Minki’s sudden disappearance
You decide to turn on your tv because damn life is boring when you can’t go to Minki’s house and play snap lol
And on the news they’re talking about minki’s country bless where the spicy noodles come from
But the news report tells the story of this brave prince who is attempting to pass a law to protect the rights of the people of his country and wow this prince is a nice guy
And they show a clip of a press conference he held earlier on in the day
And
Wow
Okay
That prince looks suspiciously like your neighbour Minki???
Wait
THAT IS MINKI??!!
Minki = Prince Ren what the ??
Not long after this the law is passed and Minki returns back to his apartment next to yours and oh my god
You see him walking up to the entrance and you freak out again because
You have a crush on a prince???
He didn’t even tell you he was a prince???
What??? Is???? Going????? On??????
He comes and knocks on your door like usual and as you swing open the door he quickly pulls you into a hug
‘y/n!!! I missed you so much!!! I’m sorry for disappearing i had family stuff but I’m back now!!!’
And you just tense up a little because oh god this is a prince who basically lied to you for your friendship so far
‘Hello, Ren.’
Uh oh
You can feel Minki just tense up slightly and pull away from the tight hug
And he kind of just stands there awkwardly looking at the floor wondering what to say next because oh my god how did you find out
‘Y/n, please don’t treat me differently now you know who I am… I wanted to tell you I really did… How did you even find out?’
He looks into your eyes like he’s searching for something because uh oh the girl he’s liked for a while and the only girl who treats him like a normal human being is reallllllly pissed off with him and he,, doesn’t have any idea how to fix it
‘You were on the news, Minki. How long were you going to keep it from me? Were you even planning to tell me at all?’
‘Listen, I was going to but there was never a good time and honestly, I thought you wouldn’t want to be friends with a Prince?’
You just sigh heavily at his answer and go to slam the door in his face but he stops it with his foot and holds on to your wrist tightly
‘Please, y/n, can we talk properly?? I’ll make food.’
You take your hand off the door and stand back to let him into your flat and he immediately heads to the kitchen and pulls out a ramen packet
He starts to cook it all while you sit at the kitchen counter, watching him as he tries desperately to not burn everything sdjhfgsjdgh poor minki
He manages to,, kind of make it (well done minki)
And he places the bowl in front of you and sits down next to you in complete silence like ok this is getting a little awkward
So perk up the mood he just managed to cook without burning the whole block of apartments down
‘So, the prince can cook ramen but nothing else hm?’
He giggles slightly at your comment and nods
‘Yeah my parents always tease me about it too, especially since my brother is amazing at cooking’
He laughs again and picks up his chopsticks to shove in a whole load of ramen
So you finally turn to look at him and you notice his eyes are red and oh my god you made him cry??
Part of you is like yeah but listen he deserves it he lied to you for like 6 months
But then again;; it is understandable that he wouldn’t want everyone knowing he’s a prince
And it doessssss make you feel a little special that he didn’t want your relationship to change at all
So
You do what your heart tells you to do
And you pat his head and ruffle his hair a little
He looks comPLETELY BAFFLED LIKE,,, WHERE DID THIS COME FROM
But he smiles really wide and giggles again
‘Is this how you show your forgiveness?’
‘No way Minki, I want at least 5 more meals cooked by you before I can get over this’
And omg
He doesn’t get that you’re joking at first
And you just see this look of absolute terror go across his face like
Ohhhh no if he even tries to cook another meal the whole building is going up in flames like
Ramen was hard enough he had to keep checking the packaging every 5 seconds to make sure he was doing it right
Then he realises you’re joking
And he laughs because oh my god
What kind of gullible-
Sooo as time passes from here you get even closer
Some people suspect his identity but you vouch for him and say that ahh no he’s no prince lol i know he’s beautiful but nooo you’re mistaken
And minki is sooo thankful for you and you both just fall in love with each other even more compLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO EACH OTHER’S FEELINGS (idiots)
That is until one evening Minki announces out of the blue that he’s going back to his country
And he wants you to come with him
And you’re leaving tomorrow
He leaves you with a ‘pack quickly~~’
Like wow thanks for the suddenness of this i hAVE TO PACK EVERYTHING IN LIKE 3 HOURS
But you manage;; somehow
And you get on the flight and Minki is so damn nervous for some reason
Like is he scared of flying??
What??
So you hold his hand during the take off and landing just in case lol
Minki would never admit it but that made his heart race even more
As soon as you land he takes you straight to the palace and walks you into this big ballroom and asks the servants to call for his parents
And you just assume like ok yeah
He’s just introducing me to them as his friend from abroad thats cool
But when they turn up Minki suddenly stands up all stiff and proper which is like
Woah okay
And he kneels down before his mum and dad and starts to say something which is almost inaudible
‘Mother, Father, I have brought before you today the person I told you about, the one I am in love with. I intend to marry this person once the time is right but I thought you should meet them in person first. I am very sorry for rejecting the many royals you previously brought before me, but it is because of them that I felt I had to turn them down.’
Yo yo
Hold up a second
Minki??? Told his parents about you??
He is in love with you too okay what???
He turned down other royals because he liked you?? Okay wow
Shooketh
‘Please, let me introduce the light of my life, y/n’
Woah okay
You step forward to stand next to minki and oh my god his face is like a bright red it’s so cute
‘Your Majesties, it is a pleasure to meet you.’
You bow, curtsey whatever idk I’m not a royal person idk how this works
They smile and just say
‘Ahh, Minki you didn’t have to go to so much trouble!! We would’ve accepted pretty much anyone as long as you were happy!!’
And this look of relief washes over his face and he turns to you and grabs your hand, dragging you out of the room
You reach the palace gardens and you’re surrounded by cherry blossoms and roses
And he doesn’t let go of your hand but instead brings it to his lips and kisses it gently
‘I should’ve confessed to you first but I wanted to get this out of the way… In case you didn’t catch that, I am in love with you, y/n’
Ahhhhhhhhh
Heartbeat rises
‘You could’ve at least given me a hint! I almost had a heart attack!! But… yeah… uh… me too’
He giggles lightly and leans in to press his lips against yours
It’s a little cheesy but
It’s Minki what do you expect
And you couldn’t ask for anything better
DHSGJFHGSJDH I CANT DO A PROPER ENDING BECAUSE I’LL START BLUSHING SORRY;; i hope this is good lol ++ that yall enjoy it but it’s like time to sleep now here so goodnight!! other requests will be posted as soon as possible but i’m a little busy still so;;

12 Days | Chapter 3.2
Two guys that lowkey hate each other are forced to walk in each other’s shoes in order to learn a lesson.
***in collaboration with @themarkiplierexperience
lmao soz its not actually x reader we’re just desperate for attention haaaa
previous
“I don’t know how to explain it,” Tom said, “I just… I need to take a mental health break.”
He was in the living room in Ethan’s apartment, sat with Ethan’s boss, Mark. He was tall, muscular, and just as intimidating as the very first guy (who’s called Tyler, as it turns out) Tom saw when he entered this weird reality. They had been talking for some time now, and Tom managed to improvise a story regarding his, or Ethan’s, current state of mind. For some reason, he expected Mark to be angry when he said he couldn’t work for the time being. Tom still wasn't even sure what it was that Ethan did for Mark.
“Okay,” he replied. “Have you had any other panic attacks, or things like that, since the other day?”
“Uh. Yeah, some type of anxiety,” Tom replied, sounding stressed out. “Bella thinks I overworked myself, and I kind of agree with her. I think I need to slow things down for a little bit. I don’t… I don’t really feel like myself.” That's one way to put it.
Mark nodded. “Alright, that’s no problem. I have Kathryn and Amy helping out, anyway. Just worry about yourself. Is there anything else you wanna talk about? You know, as a friend, rather than an employee?”
Tom didn’t know how close Ethan was to this guy, so he just shook his head. He still had a lot of research to do. There was so much to find out about all of this, it was almost like auditioning for a movie role. Except the movie was Ethan's life, and the audition came in the form of being thrust into said life without any warning.
“So…” Mark trailed off. “Are you still doing videos for your channel? Or are you taking a break from that too?”
He hesitated. “I haven’t decided yet.”
“Well, whatever you decide, I’ll gladly support you. We’re all here for you, man.” Mark stood up from the couch. “I gotta get going, but you’ll be okay til Bella comes back?”
Tom stood up as well, waving it off. “Yeah man, don’t worry. Thank you for hearing me out. I'll try my best to get myself together. I'll be back in the office before you know it.”
“Hey, don't worry about it. Don't rush into anything if you're not ready.”
Mark then went in for a friendly, reassuring hug. For someone who looked very manly and intimidating, he was very nice. You couldn't dislike him right off the bat. Then again, Mark was speaking to who he thought was his friend/employee. Nothing about this was normal.
After Tom was left alone again, he got back to research. He wasn't sure how long he would have to act as Ethan, but he had to play it off in the meantime. He went over and sat at the computer, which was hidden behind these massive acoustic panels in the bedroom. At that little area, Tom took note of the giant lights, the video camera, the two monitors, and all these other extra wires and cords. His mind was already an endless circle of questions, and this setup just added to it.
Shaking it off, he sat at the desk and began searching online. From there, he discovered that Ethan was in fact one of Mark's editors alongside Kathryn. Then, Tom had to search exactly what it was that Mark did (YouTube gaming personality, a recurring topic in this life.) Through that Wiki page, he found Bella, who used to date Mark. Tom then remembered catching a glimpse of Mark's current girlfriend, Amy, at the office. Blonde girl with a pleasantly soothing voice. Apparently, Mark left Bella for her last summer. Somehow they're all friends. He kept reading before going to find any videos.
“Okay,” Tom spoke to himself after a while. “Ethan works as Mark's video editor. Mark is dating Amy, who is friends with the other editor, Kathryn. Tyler is Mark's oldest friend out of the group, and he’s… his secretary? Bella was recently hired by Mark, who is her ex, and now she's dating Ethan. They all went on tour together last month, except for Bella. Why didn't she go?”
His phone started buzzing on the desk. Speak of the devil. He opened up the text message.
“I'm coming over and I'm bringing sushi for you!! Hope you're not too busy…” it read, with a wink face added at the end.
That made Tom’s stomach flip over. He couldn't say no! What would Bella think if her boyfriend was suddenly disinterested in her? After answering her text, Tom sent another message to Ethan, asking to call when he got the chance. He could only hope it would be soon. They both had things to go over if they were going to stay like this.
In the meantime, he tried not to feel like a creepy stalker as he searched through Bella’s social media. Tom debated going through Ethan's texts with her, but then decided that that would be a little too much. Whatever he needed to do in order to find out about Bella would have to be through her public persona.
By the time she had showed up to his apartment, all he knew was that she was a Latina makeup artist with a vulgar mouth. He closed the video he was watching on his phone when he heard the knock on the door and got up from the couch to answer.
He was pleasantly surprised to see her wearing a low cut shirt and a short black skirt. How was someone as attractive as her dating someone like Ethan? He was almost dumbstruck by her appearance, he didn't know what to say at first. At this point, Tom couldn't deny that Bella was really hot. But she wasn't his to claim. Sure, the view was nice, but where was this going to go?
“Hey you,” Bella greeted as she stepped inside. She placed her hand on his shoulder and quickly kissed him on the cheek. “How ya doing?”
“Good,” Tom replied, remembering his words. He followed her trail to the breakfast bar. “You look… you look nice.”
“Aw, thanks,” she replied as she sat on one of the stools.
Her skirt rose up a little bit as she shifted, and Tom barely caught a glimpse of the skimpy garter on her thigh. Okay, Ethan was a lucky guy. But Tom was not him; He had to get out of this somehow. Or did he?
“So… sushi?” he asked, gesturing to the plastic bag as he went to sit in the other stool. “Where'd you get it from?”
“Same place as always,” she replied, pulling two containers from the bag. “I think your sushi obsession is rubbing off on me, it's all I wanna eat now.”
He chuckled. “Good. It's all we'll ever need.”
Bella then started talking about the videos she planned to make during the week. She spoke of the packages that were sent to her in the mail, and how excited she was to try the new products. Tom just listened and pretended to know what she was on about as he ate. He was actually curious as to how Bella’s job worked, but she was speaking as if he already knew all of it.
“Oh my god! I also have to edit my interview with Tom Holland!” she exclaimed like she just remembered that piece of information.
Now things were getting interesting. Tom knew that Ethan wasn't his biggest fan, but this sparked his curiosity. He sat up, wanting to hear more. “Yeah?”
Bella twiddled her fork in her hand, a worried look on her face. “Ugh, I have to look at myself trying not to have anxiety attack. And then I have to put it out for everyone to see. Do you think he noticed I was freaking out?”
“Not at all,” Tom answered without hesitation. “You were very professional and well put together. If there was anything he'll remember about you, it's probably your hair.” All of that was true.
“Yeah, and the stupid questions I asked,” she glumly added.
“Hey, they weren't stupid!” he reassured. “They were so different to what I - he, probably gets. How many times has he told the story of how he found out he was Spider-Man? I can tell, he's probably tired of telling that tale!”
“I suppose.” Bella shrugged. Then she sighed. “Okay, whatever. I'll worry about that later. But I have to get that video up in the next couple of days. My mentions have not calmed down since I posted that selfie with him on Instagram. Anyway, sorry, I'll stop talking about him now.”
He raised an eyebrow. Were there times where Ethan told Bella to stop talking about certain things because he didn't like hearing about them? Given the way he acted over the phone, Tom wouldn't put it past him. But was this a normal occurrence between them? What did she even see in Ethan?
“Let's go to the couch,” she said after a while, getting to her feet and grabbing his hand.
“Oh, okay!” He let himself be practically yanked from his seat. His heart began pounding hard as Bella sat him down on the soft cushion.
Shit, this was happening. Before Tom could protest, Bella was straddling his lap and pressing her lips against his. For a second, he debated gently pushing her away but… she was a good kisser. She's hot as hell. Tom placed his hands on her waist, almost ready to let this happen, forgetting completely about the main situation at hand.
Then he heard a strange clicking noise. One glance down made reality hit Tom like ice water.
“What the fuck?!” he snapped in shock once he discovered that Bella was a holding a knife in her hand. “What are you doing?!”
He threw his arms up and tried to shift out of the position he was in. He almost wanted to push the girl away, but she was the one with a deadly weapon. What the hell kind of shit is she into? What kind of relationship was this? This couldn't be normal!
Bella quickly got back to her feet, a frantic look in her eyes. “I-I’m sorry, I thought you'd like it, I'm sorry…”
“Why the hell would I like that?” Tom harshly returned, still distraught. “What the fuck, what is wrong with you? Are you trying to kill me?”
She looked down, almost like she was curling into herself. She silently closed the switchblade and lifted her skirt to clip back to the garter. Then, she turned on her heel, making her way out of the apartment. He didn't try to stop her, until he remembered yet again that he wasn't himself. In Bella’s teary brown eyes, Ethan just yelled at her, and now she was upset.
“Bella-”
“Don't.”
And then the door slammed shut.
Tom sat there in silence, still trying to process what just happened. He didn't even want to think about what Bella would have done with that knife. Was that something people were into? Just when he thought this situation couldn't get any weirder.
~
Somehow, he managed to sleep through the night, despite the fact that the silence from Ethan was like an itch that couldn’t be satisfied. The longer the silence went on, the bigger opportunity there was for both of them to mess something up. Tom probably already crossed that line with Ethan’s girlfriend. He could only imagine what Ethan has been up to since he last spoke to him.
He checked his phone, only to discover a message from someone called Sean. There was a slight hesitation before Tom decided to open it. He noticed a head of bright green hair in the contact photo, and it definitely rang a bell. Had he interacted with this guy prior to the switch?
“You busy? You better not be because me and Signe are going to Bella’s and you better be there!!”
Shit. Who are these people? How many friends did this guy have?
Tom checked for any messages for the guy currently living in his shoes. Nothing. How long more would he be kept waiting?
“Dude, where are you? What have you been doing? Call me!”
After sending that, he sat up and looked around the room. It felt weird sleeping in the bed of a person he didn't know, but what choice did he have?
He got up and looked around for something to wear. Even when he wasn't in his own body, in his own home, Tom looked to the floor first. He picked up a black t-shirt and did a quick smell check before putting it on. Then he picked up a pair of jeans, which caused something small but dense to fall out of the pocket.
If it hadn't hit him on the top of his foot, Tom would have ignored it. But he looked down, finding a black, round stone. He bent down and picked it up, staring at it and trying to figure out why it looks so familiar. Surely this belonged to Ethan, but Tom had a stone just like this one. How many things would these guys have in common? Was this why they switched?
Suddenly, Tom gasped. He looked at the smooth, shiny stone in realization. He knew where he and Ethan got these from. Pantsless and panicked, he hopped back onto the bed, grabbed his phone, and dialed Ethan.
