♡ Haikyuu!!│Boys as your Roommate HC’s Pt.2│Ft. Kuroo, Bokuto, Kenma & Kageyama ♡

Kuroo:

So. Damn. Annoying

But in like, the best way possible??

Constantly teases and irritates you while cooking or when it’s your turn to do the chores.

“(Y/N)-kuuun I think you missed a spot”

Proceeds to show swabbed finger with the tiniest speck of dust on it with the biggest shit eating grin he can muster

You have constant competitions who can clean more thoroughly and rip into each other as a result.

I mean there’s worse things to compete over I suppose??

He likes to make it a habit of waking you up by throwing his HUGE ASS BODY ON TO THE BED IF YOU OVERSLEEP.

WHOLE BED JUST CREAKS AND DIPS UNDER HIS WEIGHT.

Wraps his arm around you and gives amazing cuddles tho so its worth it

Borderline suffocating you though just so you get up.

Also, don’t wake Kuroo when he’s had only a few hours rest

just, don’t. If you value your safety.

Last time you tried to haul him out of bed in this state he threw a pillow at you and BITCH WENT TO GRAB THE ALARM CLOCK NEXT but u dashed out the room before he could lob it. 

Speaking of which, pillow fights. 

so many.

 Y’all are always throwing random stuff at each other just to startle one another

You both make a conscious effort NOT to aim for the head though so I guess its ok???

The aroma of coffee always greets you in the morning and it’s become hella comforting since you’ve just come to associate that smell with him.

His bed head is 1000x more extreme in the morning which you tease him relentlessly for and def has bags under his eyes but it looks cute.

sleep deprivation but make it chic.

He is much more of a night owl i’m making it canon idc - however usually has to sleep early due to club activities starting first thing in the morning.

He wakes up especially early because he knows he not only has to haul himself up at an ungodly hour but Kenma as well since he NEVER gets up on time otherwise.

Kenma lives a few blocks down from you guys and you often kick it as a three.

Sometimes he stays over just to save the extra effort of Kuroo going to his place.

It’s always v chill with the three of you as you get on really well and just play mario kart till 2am.

which again, big mistake. They end up nearly being late to practise so it’s kinda counter productive lmao

worth it though.

Kuroo is a salty loser js and will definitely wave his arms in front of you or shove his ass in your face to block the screen so he can overtake you.

Sometimes forces you to go on early morning runs with him but it’s actually really nice since you watch the sunrise together while sitting for a water break in an empty field

Almost poetic if it wasn’t for the constant teasing and bickering like an old married couple.

Kenma is VERY thankful you have become his new victim for those morning run routines.

Bokuto:

SCREAMS FROM THE ROOFTOPS EVERY DAY

MY GOD

Actually pretty quiet in the morning?? Like the lil owl is just waking up so he usually just mumbles a good-morning and rubs his eyes its so damn cute

Usually pretty good about getting up on time but some days he needs a kick up the backside to get him out of bed.

He fully made you drag him out of the covers once before he was even willing to entertain the idea of getting up.

those 30 seconds felt like a 30 minute workout since he is so HEAVY.

I feel sorry for the neighbours on that day tbh

“Bokuto-san wake up.” 

“NNNgg-aaagGGHHHHH AGGAAASHIII”

“It’s (Y/N) you dumbass G E T U P”

You aren’t safe for long though because ONCE HE’S AWAKE HOMEBOY IS RARING TO GO.

Frequently makes y’all pancakes for breakfast with a frilly pink ‘best chef’ apron on and it’s fucking hysterical. 

actually has several aprons and one of them has a stock image of abs printed onto the front.

Pancakes is the only thing Bokuto is competent at so don’t expect anything else without the kitchen combusting

His pancakes are SO damn good tho like bitch who taught you to flip like dat.

Does a lil shimmy with his body and throws it back each time he flips so it basically aggregates as a performance too since hes so extra

One time the pancake landed on the floor and he was in emo mode for a whole day LMAOOO

boy was spiking while mourning the fallen soldier.

Akaashi was so confused as to why he walked into practise in such a solemn mood.

had to stifle his laughter once you told him the reason.

For some reason you have this tradition to play board games on a Friday night

Obvs you have to let him win and be a cocky ass bc otherwise he will be sad until the next morning.

sis will be in a slump while brushing his teeth over losing a game of monopoly.

Doesn’t expect you to come to practise with him but is always grinning like a dork the whole way there when you accompany him.

His game is always A1 on those days so Akaashi is eternally grateful.

Often tries to make you go to the gym with him SINCE Y’ALL BEST BELIEVE BOKUTO BABY AIN’T SKIPPIN LEG DAY.

Actually a really good workout partner though, he’s so hype and encouraging.

Grocery shopping is a nightmare, y’all come back with 3x as much as what was on the list while Bokuto just looks really sheepish and guilty like a dog who shredded up the sofa.

Kageyama:

Your conversations are very minimal at first until he adjusts to living with you.

Hella private with his living space and his bedroom

You always suspected he’s got some like weird alien cult meeting from Fiji going on in there with how shady he acts sometimes.

After a while though he’s pretty chill and doesn’t mind TOO much when you invade his personal space or go through his stuff.

I’d still be careful though an angry Kags is not a pleasant one.

He’s a minimalist, so if you ever get decorating done it’s usually you that takes the reigns since as long as it’s got a roof, a stove, a bathroom and a bed he could literally not give a fuck.

Unexpectedly easy to please over the smallest things, make a meal for him after a long day of practise and it’ll be hard for him to contain an appreciative smile.

Do NOT pull him up on it though bc he will get defensive 

just embrace it bro you won’t see it often.

V good at getting up on time and hella quiet in the morning when going about his routine, it’s easy to forget he’s in the house a times so at least he’s considerate.

Honestly doesn’t care whether you come to practise or not it makes no difference to him. Though the closer you both get he will sometimes wait for the moment you walk through the door and mentally slap himself for doing so.

Sometimes plays music in his room but it’s always really quiet and hard to decipher unless you press your ear up against the door.

The boi plays some BOPS though which is really surprising???

Usually takes charge of stuff like grocery shopping, cleaning etc. 

Control freak™️ here to assist your household services. 

He’s pretty dense though with these matters and needs some guidance at times lmao

Will not get the item on your list unless you CLEARLY SPECIFY AND INCLUDE THE WHOLE DAMN TITLE OF THE ITEM

You’re surprised he doesn’t request you illustrate the fucking bar code.

In the end you sometimes end up caving and just either going with him or going in his place.

Once he warms up to you y’all like cracking little jokes at each other and pulling one another’s leg.

if you get up even the slightest bit late he’ll just throw a lil “good afternoon” with a smirk on his face.

Sometimes he will come and chill with you on the couch to binge watch shows and it’s just a really relaxed atmosphere.

has really good taste in movies and series??

Honestly just a hella respectful roommate as long as you respect him and his privacy in return.

You once stuck his knee-pads in the washing machine on a high temp and they came out ready to fit a 6 year old.

You still suspect he holds a grudge to this day.

He also tried to give them to Hinata and never have you seen him more genuinely offended lmao.

Kenma:

The pair of you always end up oversleeping and it’s a genuine problem ur the definition of a disaster duo.

If it wasn’t for Kuroo strolling into your sleeping quarters most mornings you guys would sleep till the suns ready to set again.

Bless up Kuroo.

Constant video game marathons and y’all always compete to top each others time

It’s basically just the speed-run side of YouTube but under one roof.

Cannot and will not cook he is too LAZY for that.

Only thing he will do is stick an apple pie in the oven.

He’s courteous though he leaves you like,,, a 1/8th slice

smh.

You mostly get take-out or you’re the one that ends up cooking.

Veeryyyyy quiet, only noise in the household is the occasional snicker or lil conversation.

he has such a soothing voice hnnnnnnnnnggggg

The only time it’s remotely loud is when you play video games but even then the volume is quite low.

You usually end up crashing in his room from playing games till the crack of dawn and Kuroo frequently scolds the two of you.

you don’t listen though lmao.

For some reason you both end up in a hugging position when you wake up and neither of you have addressed it.

Except for the sus side eye look Kuroo gives the pair of you when he finds you like this.

He knows if he mentions it you’ll both infiltrate his apartment and choke him out with a console cable lololol.

You order most of your groceries online bc Kenma’s social anxiety will skyrocket and not allow him to be in a store full of more than 10 people, poor bby.

It works out for you too since why tf go there when you can have it delivered to your door.

You often binge watch anime together and he has GREAT taste mind you.

You made him watch a romance anime once and he secretly enjoyed it.

Since then he will very awkwardly request to watch them occasionally and you can’t help but smile.

The only time you clean is when you have to, like bins brimming with trash before you decide to take them out.

You accidentally broke his fav controller once and he didn’t talk to you for a week LMAO.

Still handed you one to play split-screen though so you knew he wasn’t entirely resentful.

Hindsight: My thoughts on Loki (2021)

As always, thanks for being here my friends. There’s definitely more nuanced discussion of this show, but I’m here for the vibes. Anyways, here’s my thoughts on Episode 3 of Loki. Bear in mind I hadn’t watched episode 4 before I wrote the review for 3. No hate on anyone/thing, it’s all my opinion.

Episode 3: LAMENTIS

Pre-title scene

I rioted when I heard Hayley’s voice. It’s a win for all of us.

C-20! Sylvie!

C-20’s lil dance was adorable. I love her.

I want Sylvie’s tie dye.

Is that Ralph Bohner?

The same place, but at night. Coincidence? I think not.

Sylvie’s powers have limits. She can’t search someone’s mind and take information, she needs them to willingly tell her though she can use her powers to do that.

TVA

Sylvie’s experienced. Always tie your hair into a bun before a fight.

Her music is nothing like what we’ve heard previously. It’s the Sylvie show folks.

The mural on the left side of the hall is the one from the credits scene.

The plaque above the elevators says ‘FOR ALL TIME ALWAYS’.

Even in the mural on the right side, the Time Keepers aren’t equal, the middle one takes up the most space.

Ravonna!

I love how their movements are similar. The head-snap-hair-flip combo is nearly identical, reflecting how they are the same person to some extent.

2077 Lamentis - 1

“Get off my leg!” SiblingTM energy.

“Goodbye, variant.” She sure has the Loki drama.

I finally remembered it’s called a TemPad. Rip.

“Don’t ever call me that.”

“Tech savvy?”

That’s so Ragnarok.

I love the music as we pan up to the planet. It’s the familiar, anxiety-inducing ticking for me lads.

“You idiot! This is Lamentis - 1.”

“I don’t know what that means!”

My siblings when I can’t restart the router (every country has an AT&T).

I like that it’s a moon that’s inhabited. It’s nearly always the planet, still not great for the people on it.

That slide to get under the dump truck was so smooth.

“So we’re a team now?” Jesus Loki needs friends. Probably a good therapist too.

“Didn’t need your help!”

“You’re so weird!”

I like the way Tom runs. Don’t know why. Just do.

Sidenote, my favourite running form is Chris Evans’.

Sylvie’s magic flickered so I genuinely think the enchantment didn’t work.

“Well then I’ll cut it out.” I like the way she says that. I am questioning so many things rn.

“Just because I have to work with you doesn’t mean I wanna hear your voice.” It’s ironic since they spend so much time talking about themselves.

“Alright, well, slow down… Variant.” They really play off each other’s egos to find weaknesses.

“You don’t know what you want.” Sylvie’s more straightforward in everything she does. She efficiently points out Loki’s flaws but when it comes to a goal, she’s meticulous.

“...just walk away.” Loki stops walking, but Sylvie does walk away. There is distance between them (for now).

I’ve had experience with mining towns like this one and whilst they weren’t so out-of-this-world (ya know) there is a tendency for rural and isolated communities to struggle with old/not maintained infrastructure. This is not everywhere, but it’s not uncommon from what I know. Even though these towns are a source of wealth, there isn’t distribution of the money and it’s a grim reality that’s being shown. I appreciate it.

The shot of them walking past a slab of that planet towards the hut is incredible. Wow.

The person in there is just waiting for their death. I’m going to be addressing a lot of the harsh realities in this episode folks so it won’t be so cheerful.

I understand that people weren’t so happy with this being a filler episode, but I think they got it right. It’s strange that a literal planet-moon collision doesn’t bring the tension that the hurricane did in the last ep, but by having an atmosphere that wasn't so omnius, they conveyed (to me at least) that hope was already lost. In the Roxxcart Disaster, the people believed that it wasn’t going to be the end. There’s desperation on Lamentis - 1 but as Sylvie said, the collapse of society occurs. That’s a large group of people realising that class divides will cause slaughter. It’s greed portrayed in two different ways, one being the integration of excessive capitalism into society, the other being social structure based on oppression. Not everyone’s reading into Loki like this but it’s a change from how Marvel usually approaches conflict.

We learnt about the characters and whilst I’m not a fan of when a plot line is moot (my bet is that Loki and Sylvie will be rescued next ep, making all the attempts to get off Lamentis - 1 pointless), it’s necessary for the characters to develop. The way Loki and Sylvie end up on Lamentis - 1 makes sense and the plot doesn’t feel forced.

“It’s remarkable that you made it as far as you did.”

Devils is recurring in this episode. Maybe this has implications on future episodes?

“Which one was that, diplomacy?” Why are their interactions so funny?

I don’t think I need to comment on the significance of the train station scene.

I would like to acknowledge that though this is good writing that’s relevant in the time it was released, we shouldn’t forget it’s coming from large corporations who aren’t perfect.

How do they just walk past the line?

The people who snitched were right in front of them.

Did the cat get Loki’s silvertongue? That was the most graceless lying I’ve ever seen.

Sylvie not sitting with her back to a door makes sense, but why won’t Loki go backwards on a train? They both have little quirks.

“That’s not a plan. That’s just doing a thing.” Loki went to the Thor school of planning, it’s Get Help all over again.

Loki’s exaggerated nods at the other guards lol.

Sylvie growls whenever she’s mad, it’s hilarious.

The close ups of their faces when the conversation gets personal and isn’t just trading jabs is great for conveying the authenticity of their answers.

Loki not pressing Sylvie when she clearly didn’t want to talk about what happened to her mother is something I appreciated.

Here’s to Tom for having to do magic for more than 10 years now. He’s so serious, I can only imagine how funny it is without the effects.

“Well she did.” Yeesh, has Loki gotten time to grieve?

Sylvie is genuinely impressive.

“Pity the old woman chose to die.”

“She was in love.”

I don’t quite understand what they were talking about then, I guess we’ll find out later?

Loki, why are you so unnecessarily dramatic?

I laughed. Who am I kidding, they’re dorks and I love them.

Loki is trying to find out anything, anyone who could be used against Sylvie.

Here’s to the postman, they’re probably dead but we appreciate Sylvie’s happiness anyways.

“A bit of both. I suspect the same as you.” AND THAT’S HOW YOU WRITE IN REPRESENTATION FOLKS!

Let’s just take our scraps and be happy, eh? It made my week.

They both need real relationships of any kind, guys.

“Love is… uh, something I might have to have another drink to think about.” Me whenever anyone asks me about my love life.

“You do realise… ...a civilisation’s only hope?” I think this was Sylvie’s way of making sure Loki’s (albeit grey) morals and drinking habits don’t interrupt her plan.

The train sure gives me Snowpiercer vibes.

Do I have to talk about Drunk Loki?

Tom’s singing voice is lovely.

Sylvie’s eyes shift nervously to the door and then back to Loki. She’s initially tense but she relaxes slightly though she knows she’s gonna have to clean up the mess.

“Nobody cares. It’s the end of the world.” Again, Loki’s headspace is one where existence is futile.

The green walls contrast the purple lighting nicely.

You can see plants (?) from the outside if you look out the windows. Talk about attention to detail.

Bruh what is the dagger about? Drunk Loki’s a comedic genius.

The descending notes in the background of Loki’s fireworks.

Sylvie’s smile when she goes to attack is animalistic. I’d like to see her character explored more in terms of how she views violence.

YEET.

“You’re right. I’m a god.” Loki’s defense mechanism is to state that his motives are above the understanding of others.

“You’re a clown.” Sylvie tells it as it is.

Loki and Sylvie’s reactions to the TVA contrast the most here. Sylvie is potentially motivated by vengeance or a need for revenge whilst Loki has resigned to numbing the pain (for now at least) as he comes to terms with his reality. The question of what drives you is so important for these characters, I’m excited to see whether they’ll find a common ground and wreak havoc on the sacred timeline.

Loki and Sylvie both struggle with communicating in a healthy way. Sylvie calls him out on his directionlessness and Loki tells her what may be the harsh reality of her plan. Neither of them are willing to accept it, but there’s potential for a strong bond if they do.

Sylvie’s scream lmao.

I love the colour of Loki’s pants.

Problem? Solution! Do thing! Is Sylvie’s method of thinking when all is lost.

Gosh I love the shots in this episode.

“That’s a pretty good life.” Sylvie’s definitely not lived as a royal, or not from what she remembers.

“I just need to know if I can trust you.” Sylvie giving up how she enchants people is an olive branch because as useful as the things that Loki told her may have been for manipulation, they both know the importance of her upper hand. But she only relents once Loki doesn’t have the TemPad. Later, when she asks whether she can trust Loki, it’s more of a reassurance because he’s already been vulnerable around her.

The actor’s body language and facial expressions are incredible. Loki’s eyebrow’s furrow slightly when Sylvie mentions C-20’s mind but Tom takes a second for the information to be processed rather than instantly reacting to Sophia’s next line. She does the same when Loki talks about the TVA workers being created. What skilled people they are.

The city is a wonderful piece of set design.

“We do, and you can.” They step into the light, neither of them have tunnel vision and are able to see a bigger picture.

“They’re gonna let these people die.” This show explores a side of Loki we haven’t seen before, his morality and compassion. He has grey areas that could be explored in the next season. It also points back to how Sylvie and Loki differ in their view of others. I think this is partially because of their childhoods. Loki was raised as a prince and cared about his people, but Sylvie doesn’t share that perspective (“...they usually survive”), maybe because of her past. Hopefully in the upcoming episodes we’ll get a bit more of her backstory.

That sequence is beyond words. The constantly rotating and revolving camera really hammers home that it’s a disorienting fight for their lives at the end of the world. I’m speechless, just watch it.

The music in that blue-purple-pink club was banging tho.

Loki and Sylvie’s posture, facial expression and general body movement is similar. The variant point is hammered home here.

It’s interesting how Loki is in shock/denial of the Ark being destroyed whereas Sylvie immediately leaves.

The end music of this episode is beautiful. I love how it all builds to leave us on the soft tones of Dark Moon.

No one’s interested, but my mum and I bonded over the Jim Reeves version of this song and the Bonnie Guitar one.

Ep 3 review

Short episode with not much going on other than character development. However, if the first two were anything to go by, this episode will have greater implications on the plot. The pacing of this show is a bit strange, but we may see this change in the next season.

I mentioned previously that it would be a shame if the entire plot of this episode was made irrelevant by how they get off Lamentis - 1 next ep. This show has been really good at keeping us on our toes with the writing so they probably won’t take turns that have been speculated.

Happy mid-season guys! The following two episodes were apparently Tom’s favourites so we can expect some mayhem up ahead. See you next time!

Here's the link to my Ep 2 review

[nofliight]

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Mun & Muse - Meme.

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

tagged by: stole it from @sternenteile​ and honestly others tbh tagging: TAKE

my muse is:  canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO. [ for better or for worse, he’s THE face of kid icarus, after all. he’s a dork and funny and likeable and even if the fandom tends to get him WRONG (thanks smash bros) there’s no denying his popularity ]

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. [ i don’t??? think so??? most people are too busy talking about how they think he’s like 5 ]

Is your character considered strong in the fandom?  YES / NO / IDK. [ EVEN THE FANDOM AIN’T GONNA MESS THIS UP. MAN FIGHTS GODS. CALL THAT WEAK. ]

Are they underrated?  YES / NO / IDK. [ make no mistake - pit’s got fans and plenty of them but he’s so MISTREATED by the fandom. his character is a lot more complex than he gets credit for and smash bros in particular is a big reason people think he’s just Big Dumb Baby Man ]

Were they relevant for the main story?  YES / NO. [ HE’S THE MAIN CHARACTER, THE CENTRAL FIGURE UPON WHOM THE NARRATIVE IS STRUCTURED AROUND, YEAH HE’S PRETTY RELEVANT. Uprising is literally made to tell the story of a war exclusively through the perspective of a single side and Pit (and Palutena) are the EMBODIMENT of that whole side. ]

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. [ and a perfect one at that. he’s literally a perfect protagonist don’t tell me i’m wrong cause i’m not ]

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO. [ pit is beloved by humans... and mocked by the Gods. seen by most as a spineless extension of palutena’s will, most “respect” of any variety goes to palutena while he gets treated as a joke 99% of the time... and it’s not like Palutena gets too much respect either ]

How’s their reputation?  GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. (????) [ Uhhhhhh... it’s an odd one. Short answer is that Pit’s a good samaritan who’s done a lot of good BUT most of the gods think protecting humanity is a Folly and a Joke and that Pit’s just a pawn of Palutena’s and while the humans do hold a lot of respect for him, uh............. let’s just say, some humans on the surface have reasons not to be too happy with him. ]

How strictly do you follow canon?  —  about as much as I need to to respect one of my favorite video games of all time. while kid icarus uprising is a comedic game most of the way through it has a lot more nuance and depth to itself, its world, and its characters than one can see at first glance, even after a full playthrough. if you let yourself get invested in the characters, take a closer look at the dialogue it provides, and acknowledge the central, core storytelling message of the game for what it is, there’s a lot more to pull out than one would think. that being said, it’s still a comedic video game and one that I think could use some more expansion. though the game is inconsistent there seems to be the consensus that pit is like a child and I’m not into that, mine’s a bit more showing in his cynical and snarky side after all he’s been through and overall there’s a lot of expansion on the base while building it into something unique.

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.  —  imagine your typical bootstrapped anime protagonist. someone who, when younger, was a runt who couldn’t meet the expectations of others, was looked down on, and found himself crushed and hurt and near-killed by a great tragedy that he was forced to claw his way out of to make himself stronger. Now imagine all of that with a character who comes out still able to have a very real smile and ultimately comes out of it a self-assured, chipper goofball with a good heart. now put that together with all of the darkness and depth you would have expected to be there, but scattered realistically throughout the attitude of someone who does genuinely want to keep a positive attitude. someone who is sincerely an optimist who’s grown past his weaker days, but isn’t quite so simple as he’d like to believe. all of that combined with someone who can’t read, is willing to eat ice cream off the floor in times of duress, is extremely easy to fluster and can channel his goddess’ power to slay GODS? you got one strong man.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).  —  his positive attitude is what most people will see when speaking to him, because for what it’s worth, he’s not actively lying about his depth. he’s a cheerful, jovial man with a big smile and a love of the world around him - which is all well and good, but his depth is something you have to find, even if it is reasonably clear if you’re willing to look. he’s also portrayed as a bit unreasonably dumb at times, and though I personally justify the worst of it with proper explanations, I can understand reducing some of the value of the character in favor of seeing all of his Jokes

What inspired you to rp your muse?  —  i made my original pit blog, flightlesswarrior, on a total whim after playing kid icarus uprising. cute character, fun premise, why not? but over time, and with numerous plots I was able to take part in exploring the serious, not so serious, shipping, tragedy, and going back through the game to keep my muse rolling, it occurred to me more and more with time just how nuanced and interesting pit and co. really are. pit embodies many of the things i really, truly love in a protag, falling firmly on the side of good, having a heart of genuine gold, and having nuances and parts of his personality that are less than savory without making him seem like a contradiction. he’s got depth, he’s got story, there’s a lot to explore and flesh out... and he’s also just a nice, friendly guy who gets along well with others. plus, i’m drawn to dorks.

What keeps your inspiration going?  —  a) love for Kid Icarus: Uprising. a game that helped me gain a deeper and more insightful understanding of character development, subtle storytelling, optimism still tinged with legitimate and healthy cynicism, and overall something that changed my understanding of character development and storytelling forever. and b) spite. the fandom treats him like an idiot baby and smash DOES NOT help matters so i have to remind others that he is a veteran of a war, a socially inept loser with few real friends, and someone who’s kindness and optimism was shaped and molded by its hardships in a way that doesn’t require a near-breaking point or a reminder that “this guy could be evil you know” to show how someone can still keep a positive attitude in spite of all the shit life throws at him.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice?  YES / NO [ i’d like to think i have?? but i also acknowledge that he’s become something of his Own in some ways that do intentionally diverge from sakurai’s intentions. ultimately though, even though i may not play him completely true to text, i try to be as loyal as i can be to the spirit of the character. ]

Do you frequently write headcanons?  YES / NO / SORT OF? [ when i can!! but??? the problem is my mind really, really likes to reiterate the Same Damn Points i have to make with characters that draws me to them - and you know, writing the same hcs over and over is generally considered poor form?? ngl i also prefer to let the writing do the talking unless it’s something that’s not gonna show so 90% of the time pit’s open enough that all but the darker sides of his mind are lain out before you. ]

Do you sometimes write drabbles?  YES / NO [ maybe??? once or tWICE???? but i need to write more ]

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO [ I REALLY DO, HOO MAMA. i have a lot of thoughts about him, his depth, potential relationships, goofy thoughts, more serious fanfic ideas im never gonna write and don’t get me started on how many SHIPS i have to think about for him ]

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO [ my portrayal is made out of spite for portrayals in the fandom and some supplementary material that gets him wrong - it’s kinda hard to do that without the confidence ]

Are you confident in your writing?  YES / NO / ??? [ it’s uhh........ complicated??? i don’t think writing is my expertise, tbh. but it is the best way i have to show the passion i have for characters, by putting their nuances into actions, by allowing them to shine from who they are their core, by exploring relationships and scenarios and struggles and hope and everything that can flesh a character out. whether or not i’m a good writer is something i’m still sorting out - but i’m proud of my ability to develop a character, and to that end i feel like i’m doing fine ]

Are you a sensitive person?  YES / NO. / SORTA. [ on one hand......... very. i have a tendency to overthink everything i do and look back at moments i made an ass of myself that keep haunting me throughout my day - they haunt me. i only have two fears: what my immediate friend group thinks of me and the crushing existential weight of worrying one day i’m gonna ruin everything i am SOFT. that being said, i’m also hardheaded and stubborn and i’m not afraid to go off on someone i don’t have much respect for if it comes down to it. i’m easy to anger when it comes down to it you know i guess that proves the point huh i’m not stonefaced at all ]

Do you accept criticism well about your portrayal?  —  i try to? it’s a bit touchy for me I admit just because I do take portrayals and try to make them my own, but i am willing to listen if someone has any points they’d like to make that i haven’t acknowledged properly. if criticism IS had, lemme know, i do wanna hear it!

Do you like questions, which help you explore your character?  —   Y  E  S

If someone disagrees to a headcanon of yours, do you want to know why?  —  not that everyone who disagrees with my opinions has to explain themselves of course, but i do sincerely like the chance to learn if something i’m doing doesn’t quite feel right. even if it’s one-sided and i’ll come to disagree, i’m happy to listen! even if i don’t agree with the disagreement head-on, i like to keep them in mind and see what i can shift around to acknowledge them if necessary

If someone disagrees with your portrayal, how would you take it?  — neutral?? i mean don’t be mean about it, but if you just think my pit doesn’t seem right or it doesn’t click right with your muse i’m not gonna throw a fit about it. everyone’s allowed to view a character in their own way - and even if i may get salty about those who oversimplify him, it IS anyone’s right to view him how they will.

If someone really hates your character, how do you take it?  — agree to disagree tbh. i can’t pretend it wouldn’t disappoint me, but it’s not like, worth ending a friendship over or anything. everyone’s got their own viewpoints to run on

Are you okay with people pointing out your grammatical errors?  —  sure, within reason! i take pride in my grammar but i know that with my fast typing and often running on only a few hours of sleep some problems do slip in through the cracks. while i generally either catch them or just Die with them i’m all ears if i mess up

Do you think you are easy going as a mun?   —  uhhhhhhhhhh well i’m?? kind of a socially anxious mess honestly which DOES make being easy going a bit difficult BUT i do try and be friendly and sociable as i....... can. i’m too scared to talk to people and CAN say some dumb things but i’m not a hardass or anything!! i like to talk and Yell and shitpost and pretty much do anything but write tbh DHFLKSJDF

I was tagged in this self-ship headcanon challenge by @miyuswriting !! Honestly I rarely participate in tag stuff but this seemed fun and I’m bored lmaooo so thanks for the tag, miyu!

rules;; write some hcs about you and your favorite and tag some people!

Leo x Kuroo HCs

This is gonna be a mess, I’ve heard many variations of our ship name: Keo, Leroo, KurooLeo. Idk, take yall’s pick lmaooo

I have 0 athletic ability and dont have much interest in sports unless one of my friends gets me into it, so I highkey wouldn’t really know anyone from the Nekoma team aside from class interactions.

I was always involved in journalism tho, that was my shit. I was always walking around, taking polls and doing interviews, getting pictures and whatnot. So i’m willing to bet that’s how I’d get involved with the team. 

I would deffo go to Coach Nekomata, just to let him know I was gonna be covering the volleyball team then oh? Hello? Who’s that tall drink of iced tea over there? It’s Kuroo lookin finer than a mf during practice. Lordy.

Lowkey highkey take a fuckton of pictures during regular practice and practice matches, he’s in almost all of them, if he doesn’t notice immediately it’ll probably get pointed out by Yamamoto.

“Maaan, she never takes any pictures of me, it’s no fair! She only ever gets Kuroo’s!” Snitch...

Then once I’m on his radar he’d deffo be like “Oi, shouldn’t you be getting an interview with the captain for these articles?” And that’s probably the point where I’d die. From then on I could imagine him trying to get me out of my little reporter bubble so I can actually get comfortable with the team.

After some time I’d deffo be friends with p much everyone on the team, deffo closest with Kuroo though cuz 1. he’s hot as fuck and 2. we have matching energies, both in terms of humor and dorkiness and mom/dad friend vibes.

I bounce between being shy and confident, I’d probably hit him with that “Can you hold this for me? *puts my hand in his* thanks!” to let him know I’m interested. I’d probably get a lot of playful teasing from him for it... then shut him up by kissing his cheek

I could see us staying in that weird limbo between being close friends and dating for a while until he’s finally like “Have I not asked you out? damn, guess it slipped my mind. Anyway, wanna be my girl?” He’d get a lil arm punch for asking so casually but I’d still say yes

He’d probably get so pouty because I can’t always have him in my article photos and interviews if we’re dating cuz conflict of interest lmao. “How do I make it up to you?” “Oh I dunno- start giving me goodluck kisses before every game.” “A small price to pay for journalistic integrity.”

Lots of handholding and cheek kisses, I’m soft af and you bet your ass I’m letting everyone know I simp for Kuroo every chance I get. I’m stealing that extra jersey and wearing it to his game too idgaf.

We’re the couple that slips notes into each other’s lockers, doesn’t matter if it’s cute stuff, dorky stuff, or blushy stuff. I would have a folder full of all the notes cuz why not save them for a rainy day?

Loudest ones in the cafeteria either cuz of our talking or our laughing. Our corner of the library is always full of whisper-yelling and not-so-quiet-snickering until we get in trouble. We just feed each other’s chaotic dork energy so much it’s insane.

Aight I need to stop there or I’ll keep going lmao thanks so much for the tag! I tag @allywritesimagines , @vventure , @starboybokuto and @nekoglasses !!

Ch 1 <<< Ch 2 : Ch 4 | [Masterlist]

                                  Chapter III: A Diamond In The Rough

The walk back to Hammerhead went without interruptions after the Live Hurricane encounter. Once the group arrived at the garage, Cindy and Cid brought out the newly fixed and cleaned Regalia. The sight of her brought a smile to everyone’s face; their mighty steed had returned.

“She’s back! We should all get a picture with her.” Prompto brought out his camera and ushered everyone around the car while he handed the camera off to Cindy, showing her how to use it. Gladiolus and Ignis went to the sides of the car while Noctis and Prompto sat at the front with Artemisia sitting in between them, all of them striking a pose. Once Cindy took the shot Prompto bolted up to take a look at the photo, a big grin on his face once he saw it.

“All the more reason to ride with care.” Cindy said, referring to the crew’s obvious excitement to having their beloved car back. “Oh, and before I forget, would y'all mind making a lil delivery for me?” Noctis agreed to favor; it was the least they could do after Cindy repaired the car and helped them with funds. Cindy informed them about the favor: as she said, just a simple delivery to someone. The town was even on the way to Galdin Quay, making it an even easier task.

Once everyone had gathered what was needed, they took off towards the drop off location with Noctis driving this time, putting Ignis with Artemisia and Gladiolus in the back. It was a tighter squeeze for Artemisia, since Ignis is broader than Noctis, but she made it work.

“Hammerhead is like no garage ever, you know?” Prompto stretched, leaning his head against the top of his door, taking in the nice breeze. ���I’ll miss it once this road trip’s over with.”

“Huh?” Noctis side glanced his friend, not quite understanding what he was getting at. Artemisia couldn’t help the smile on her face; she knew exactly what Prompto was hinting at. His crush was pretty adorable. Judging by the smirk on Gladiolus’ face, she wasn’t the only one who caught on to it.

“There’s no reason you can’t pay them a visit anytime you please. I’m sure Cindy will be glad to look after your car. Oh, right.”

“So,” Ignis sighed, catching on to the conversation, “That’s what this is about.”

“If you need I could always lend you the Regalia.” Noctis offered, smiling when he sees his friend’s face perk up at the offer.

“Whoa! Really?” Prompto laughed excitedly before biting it back. “Uh, thanks for the offer. But once we’re back in the Crown City, I think I’d better score my own wheels.”

Artemisia leaned forward, breaking her shoulders away from the men on her sides and giving them some breathing space. “I know a place with some nice cars for relatively low prices, if you need help.”

“Yeah?” Prompto smiled, looking back to face her as the two continued their discussion over his possible future-vehicle.

The group made it to the drop off location for Cindy after an hour of driving. They pulled up to the motel where they needed to drop off the package. Once out of the car, Artemisia stretched her arms out to help with the small ache in her shoulders.

Hopefully Noctis won’t be driving too much during this trip…

Noctis approached the check in window, where an older man was seated. “Good afternoon,” the man greeted, “How can I help you? Interested in a room?”

“Uh, actually we’re from Hammerhead and we were asked to drop something off for you.” Noctis corrected. The old man thought for a moment before his eyes perked up and he nodded knowingly. “Y’all came all the way out here to deliver the goods? Well thank you kindly.” The man leaned to the side door next to him, calling someone in the other room of the motel. “We’ll take it out of the trunk, so y’all just sit tight.” A younger man exited the motel and went over to the trunk of the Regalia, which Ignis helped open.

As he was walking back to the motel with the package in the man’s hands, a dog’s barking caught everyone’s attention. A small, black dog with a white marking going across its face, almost like a mock scar, approached the group without hesitation and sat down in front of Noctis. It looked like it was carrying a satchel of some kind on its back.

“Huh? Oh, Umbra.” Noctis smiled, kneeling down to pet his fluffy companion.

“Bringing us stuff? ‘Atta boy!” Prompto praised.

“That dog can really track a scent.” Gladiolus admired.

“Certainly nose how to find us.”

“Stop.” Artemisia half-heartedly glared at Ignis for his pun, earning herself a teasing smile from the man.

Noctis retrieved the item that Umbra was carrying on his back, revealing a small red journal. “Just a sec.” Noctis seemed to read over a message in the book. From her angle, Artemisia could see a small smile on his face, though she wasn’t completely sure what for. Noctis then seemed to place something else into the book before closing it and placing it back into the satchel on Umbra’s back. “All set.” Noctis patted the top of Umbra’s head once more. “Take care out there.” With that, Umbra stood up and walked away from the group, seemly without a care in the world.

“I know, you’re not gonna tell me--”

“Then don’t ask.”

“What was that about?” Prompto continued, regardless of Noctis’ comment. Noctis just looked back at his friend silently, showing that his question will go unanswered. Prompto sighed in defeat before something caught his eye. “Hey, since we’re here, why not stop and have something to eat at the Crow’s Nest?”

“Now that you mention it, I am starting to get hungry.” Artemisia said, finally acknowledging the light grumble in her stomach.

“I could eat.” Gladiolus seconded.

So the group walked over to the restaurant, despite Ignis’ talk of how unhealthy greasy food is. They were greeted by the diner employee and sat the stool table, where they looked over the menu. Artemisia, admittedly, never ate out much back at the Crown City, usually eating at the Citadel where she had her own food or having dinner with her parents when she visited. She leaned over to Prompto, who seemed to know what he wanted by heart, asking him what he thinks she would like.

“You’ve never eaten at the Crow’s Nest before?” Prompto asked, his eyes a little wide with surprise. The Crow’s Nest wasn’t by all means the highest quality food, but it was a popular food franchise for a reason. It was the place to go if you just needed something fast and easy to eat in a hurry or if you just didn’t feel like cooking.

“I-I have, a couple of times.” Artemisia exclaimed a little flustered over how ignorant she seemed over such a modern staple. “...When I was six or something.” Artemisia’s father worked from home and usually took care of cooking. And with her mother being a nurse, the family usually did what they could to avoid fast food, with perhaps only picking some up after particularly long days for her parents.

Prompto chuckled a little. “I would have thought a workaholic like you would be all over food like this. Something easy, y’know.” He leaned over and recommended one of their burgers with fries. After they all ordered, their food came to them within a couple of minutes and they enjoyed their meal. At least they did between the time Prompto accidentally caused the ketchup bottle to explode, squirting the condiment everywhere.

After they cleaned up the tomato mess and payed for the meal, they were ready to take to the road again before they were stopped by the same younger man that took Cindy’s package from them. “Hold on a sec, sir. I found a letter addressed to Meldacio inside the package.”

“Meldacio? The hunter HQ?” Gladiolus questioned.

“Yes, sir. The head hunter outta be around here somewhere. Mind making one more delivery?”

“What do you say, Noct? Might as well since we’re in the neighborhood.” With Prompto’s words of encouragement, the man handed over a small padded envelope to Noctis. He informed them about who the head hunter was before going back into the motel to continue his duties. Turns out they’ve already met this hunter, Dave. They found him at a trailer by the Crow’s Nest, a small smile spreading on his face when he saw the crew approached. Looks like he remembered them as well. “Well look who it is. I really owe you guys one.”

“Make that two.” Noctis handed Dave the envelope.

The hunter chuckled over his luck. “Can’t seem to catch a break.” His smile stayed on his face while opening the package, but soon fell once he saw what it contained. He pulled out a necklace with a pair of dog tags attached to them. He let out a sorrowful sigh. “Looks like they found another one…”

“Found another what?”

“Tag; us hunters keep them on our person at all times as identification.” Dave explained to Prompto, showing his own tags that hung from his neck.

“Why? In case you forget who you are?” Prompto joked.

“More like so no one else forgets who they were.” Gladiolus corrected.

Artemisia looked down at the ground mournfully. She knew about the lifestyle that hunters lived; even ran into a few during her scarce trips with Ismene outside the Wall. They were always willing to help, a characteristic that is commonplace for people who volunteer to put their lives on the line daily. One hunter even escorted Ismene and Artemisia back to Insomnia during one of their trips. Artemisia tried to stay in contact with her, but she never heard from her again. She can only imagine what happened to her.

“Hunters lead a life of danger.” Dave stated. “Sometimes these tags are the only things that make it back in one piece. It’s our job to deliver them to the families of the fallen. As it were, I came out here to do just that.” Dave took a look over the dog tags in his hands once more before looking back up at the group. “If y’all happen to find any tags lying around out there, you do me a favor and send them my way?”

“Yeah, sure.” Even though he didn’t show it physically, it was obvious that Noctis was affected by Dave’s pain for his fellow hunters.

“Word is somebody spotted a tag around these parts. Try asking the local tipster, he’ll point you in the right direction.”

By the time the crew had spoken with the tipster at the Crow’s Nest and gained a good idea on where to look for the small tags, the sky had already grown dark and the moon rising in the sky. In the distance one could hear the disturbing noises from the daemons and other horrible creatures of the night. It was almost unnerving to see how accustomed to the threats of the night people had grown, being able to ignore the noises under the safety of the street lights. Despite them being more capable than most, Ignis pushed that they stay in the small rest area and rest instead of braving the darkness. Eventually everyone came to an agreement to rent a room at the motel.

Although, they did have to rock, paper, scissors for who would have to sleep on the floor.

Thankfully, Noctis can sleep just about anywhere.

They had left to find the deceased hunter’s tag early that morning, after Artemisia and Ignis had to wake the others. Some were easier to wake than others, but the promise of food did the trick. Food got them out of bed, but it didn’t stop them from complaining.

“As they say, early bird catches the worm.” Artemisia chuckled at Prompto for his exaggerated sigh.

“Well, I don’t like worms.” Prompto retorted before an ungraceful yelp left him after Gladiolus shoved him a little, telling him to pick up his pace. Prompto took a moment to gain his bearings before beginning to talk again. If talking helped him wake up and kept him motivated, then he can talk all he wants. “So, you thinking to fairy tale Lunafreya back to the Crown City?”

“Nah, no need to rush to happily ever after.” Noctis smiled at his friend’s light teasing.

“Wow… Still can’t believe you’re actually tying the knot, dude.” Prompto’s tone became more serious, and really, who can blame him. Even Artemisia -- who has known Noctis almost her entire life -- still couldn’t believe that he was getting married, especially this young. At the very least she was expecting someone like Ignis to settle down first before Noctis followed suit. “How does it feel, now that it’s finally happening?” Prompto continued.

Noctis shrugged a little. “Fine, I guess…”

“Come on, you can’t fool me! Any guy would be over the moon to marry her.”

“No big deal.”

“There’s no need to be shy about it, Noct.” Artemisia joined in. “As Prompto said, anyone would be lucky to be with her. It’s okay to be nervous.”

“I’m not nervous…”

Prompto scoffed. “Yeah, whatever.”

The group walked for a few more miles before finally coming upon the area where the tag was last seen. It had taken some time, having to resort to using a flashlight to find them. A shine from the light showed it by a couple of boulders that had seemed to fall from the nearby cliff side. The lifeless claws sticking out from underneath the boulders told all they needed to know about the fallen. Artemisia picked it up, rubbing off some dirt from the metal.

Gladiolus sighed. “Poor man. At least we’ll have something of him to bring back.”

“It’s not a easy life out here, is it…” Prompto’s tone became sorrowful.

“Unfortunately, no…” Ignis, while he kept his composure, was just as mournful.

Artemisia stared down at the tags in her hands, memories of her old friend coming back. She had noticed the tags a few times during their time together. Even got a chance to read it and all its little numbers up close. But whether it was because she was younger or perhaps she was ignorant, she didn’t feel the weight of these tags then. Now, as she looked down at the ones in her hands, she found herself mourning two people instead of one. To think, that this tiny piece of metal is all that could remain; a name and number being left behind while the rest of that person is gone forever.

A large hand on her shoulder broke Artemisia from her thoughts. “Hey, you okay?” Gladiolus asked.

Artemisia glanced back to the tags before taking a breath to compose herself. “Yeah, I’m fine.” She turned back to the others, handing Noctis the tags. “We should hurry back to Dave and return these. Then we can make our way to Galdin Quay after.”

The five traveled the way back to the motel and found Dave not far off. Noctis gave Dave the dog tag, putting it in his outstretched hand. “Found it already. You don’ good.” Dave thanked the group.

“Just picking up the pieces, I guess.” Noctis said awkwardly, still slightly affected from the sight back at the boulders.

“Well, try to keep your spirits up.” Dave encouraged. “I’m not one to talk; I beat myself up over the lives of hunters I couldn’t save. That’s what each one of these tags means to me. They hurt.” His grip on the tags in his hand tighten. “But if I let that grief keep me from lookin’ for them, then their tags and their lives will be forgotten forever. And that would hurt more than anything.”

Artemisia nodded, agreeing with his statement.

“That’s why I tell all my hunters to collect any tags they see, and I expect y’all to go out and do the same.”

After finishing his small speech, Dave bid the group goodbye to deliver the tag to the fallen’s family. The party decided that they too should continue on their way to their own destination. They took their usual spots in the Regalia, which Artemisia couldn’t help but be grateful that she was sharing space with Noctis this time, and headed towards Galdin Quay.

On the road, Prompto had turned on the radio so that they could have some tunes to relax to. After the first song was done, however, a news broadcast took over the station. The news anchor talked about the upcoming treaty between Lucis and Niflheim before having a recording of Lunafreya commenting about the event. Artemisia noticed Noctis, who looked like he was ready to fall asleep, perk up slightly and lean forward to listen better. This would probably be the first time that he’s heard her voice in years.

“Words cannot express the joy in my heart on receiving word of this coming peace. Nor the pride I take in my betrothal, playing a part in this historic moment. On this joyous occasion, some have voiced cause for concern; the fear that I will be unable to fulfill my duties as Oracle. Please, rest assured my marriage will not stand in the way of my calling. You will find me in your towns and villages, as you always have and I shall continue to bless you all.”

“Lady Lunafreya will set forth from Tenebrae for her wedding ceremony in the coming days. Please be advised, that during this time alone, her duties as Oracle will be suspended.”

“Its in the treaty?” Prompto asked, referring to the wedding as he turned down the radio, drowning out the news broadcast.

“Of course. Simple formality.” Ignis stated, adjusting his glasses.

“What better way to finalize a peace treaty than to have the two royal singles get together.” Artemisia added.

“So it’s more like a marriage of convenience?”

“Her ladyship seems nevertheless amenable to the prospect.”

“And Noct here likes the idea.” Gladiolus smirked at Noctis, who muttered something under his breath. Artemisia could see some pink on his cheeks.

“What’s that?” Prompto put his hand to his ear, adding to the teasing. “ ‘I do’?”

“Buzz off!”

They all laughed at Noctis’ embarrassment. Artemisia smiled over to Noctis, who only gave her a slight pout, causing her smile to grow. “It’s okay if you are excited for it, you know.” Noctis, no doubt still flustered from the teasing, half-heartedly glared at her before looking back to the landscape around them. Gladiolus snickered, stretching his arms out and leaving them behind the back seats. With his arm now behind her instead of beside, Artemisia also took the opportunity to stretch too. “He’s just embarrassed that the first time he’s gonna kiss a girl is at his wedding.”

Artemisia had to hold Noctis back while Ignis threatened to turn the car around if they didn’t stop fighting.

After finally getting the two to calm down and driving for some time, they soon saw the sea in the horizon, a sign that they were reaching Galdin Quay.

“Hey!” Prompto pointed over to the ocean on their left side, excitedly bringing his camera out. “I see the sea!”

“I sea it too.”

“Stop.” Now Artemisia was the one pouting at Noctis while he smirked.

“That’s Galdin Quay.” Ignis stated. They could see the attraction at the bottom of the hill and all the tourists soaking up the sun.

Gladiolus had to almost tower over Artemisia and Noctis to look down, but he must have gotten a good view and sat back in his seat. “Kinda want to go for a dip.” Artemisia couldn’t blame him, the water was crystal clear and looked so inviting.

“Is that a mountain?” Noctis asked, pointing to the large, peculiar land mass further out from the shore. The tips of the ‘mountain’ curved inwards towards the center as though being pulled in from an unknown force. It was something that one would definitely remember for some time.

“No, it’s actually an island.” Artemisia corrected, an excited glint in her eyes at the prospect of sharing some knowledge. “It’s actually really interesting how it formed like that! See, it--”

“Nobody goes to Galdin for an island though!” Prompto interrupted, whether it was intentional or not no one could tell. Artemisia deadpanned, feeling Gladiolus pat her shoulders as he snickered. “They go to kick back and get massages.”

“And savor the seafood,” Ignis added, always a fan of fine dining, “It’s famously delicious.”

Noctis and Gladiolus shared Ignis’ excitement for a delicious meal, and soon enough they were pulling into one of the parking spots at the resort. Prompto had practically leaped out of the car, stretching his arms out. “Ah yeah! Feel that nice ocean breeze!” He turned back to the others with his camera in hand. “We should take a picture! Can’t pass up this awesome view!” Prompto retrieved his tripod from the Regalia’s trunk and ushered everyone over to a spot he claimed was perfect. He made sure everyone was ready before he set the timer on the camera and ran to join in the picture. Once the click when off, everyone relaxed their poses and Prompto ran to check the picture. “Lookin’ good!”

He showed the picture on his camera screen to everyone else. He must have used a filter because the colors came out a nice pastel shade, softening glow from the blue sea behind them. The sun’s rays created a nice lighting effect that complimented everyone and nothing could compare to the scenery behind them in the picture. Crystal waters and warm sand with clear blue skies. And with all the friends smiling, it really was the perfect picture. Especially seeing how it seemed that their adventure will be ending soon once they get on the boat to Altissia.

“It’s a keeper, Prom.” Artemisia praised. Prompto gave her a big toothy grin, making sure the camera saved the picture in the photo gallery.

The group made their way to the port that was at the back of the resort. The plank walkway to the Quay added to the charm of the whole area, following it down to the building floating on the pristine waters. Artemisia almost wishes that there was time for them to indulge themselves in the luxuries around them. Perhaps when they reached Altissia they could pamper themselves.

They were greeted by one of the hosts once they entered the restaurant as they made their way through when an unexpected voice greeted them. “I’m afraid you’re out of luck.”

A man with maroon, shaggy hair covered by a fedora approached the group. He was dressed in a way that Artemisia could only describe as ‘eloquent hobo’; wearing multiple layers of old fashioned clothing, all of which were inappropriate for the heat in the area. He didn’t seem to mind regardless; he was either not affected by it or was a good actor. “The boats bring you here?” The strange man asked with a smile, gesturing to the port further back.

“What about them?” Prompto asked in response.

“Well, they won’t take you forth.” The man looked back at the port, scratching the back of his head as a gesture of confusion.

The friends exchanged glances between each other, the same look of surprise and confusion present on all of their faces. Gladiolus brought himself at the front of the group, using his stature as a guard over the rest. It was obvious that all of them shared the same uncomfortable feeling about the man before them. “What’s your story?”

“I’m an impatient traveller, ready to turn ship.” The group parted in the middle as the man walked through them, heading for the exit. “The cease fire is getting us nowhere.” He looked down at something he was holding in his hand before swiftly turning and flicking the object towards Noctis with his fingers.

Gladiolus caught it mid-air, presenting it with his open palm to the rest of the group. “What’s this? Some kind of souvenir?” Artemisia took the item from Gladiolus’ palm to inspect it. It was a silver coin with the face of a woman on one side and some symbols on the other side.

“Consider it your allowance.” The man responded, making a theatrical hand gesture to the group.

“Yeah? And who’s allowing us?” Gladiolus moved closer, his body posture threatening.

With a dramatic shrug of his shoulders and his arms in the air, the stranger said “A man of no consequence” before taking his leave. The group stood in confusion watching the man walk away, all of them uneasy with his seemingly casual words. Artemisia looked back down at the coin in her hand, inspecting it closer now that the stranger was gone.

“Any idea as to what it may be, Artemis?” Ignis asked, coming closer to look at it too.

“Not really sure. It’s not Lucian, I can tell you that much. But it doesn’t look like something any normal citizen would have on them.”

“ ‘Normal’ is the last thing I would call that guy…” Noctis added.

“Speaking of him, do you believe what he said about the port being closed?” Prompto asked.

“I’m skeptical, but I won’t discount the possibility.” Ignis stated as Artemisia put the mysterious coin in her coat pocket, deciding to hold on to it for later.

“I’d say we go check it out for ourselves.”

Agreeing with Gladiolus they all continued their way through the establishment until they made it to the port. There they saw several groups of people standing by a posting on the port board. Some of the groups left, giving them space to get closer where they could overhear a couple talking.

“What’s this about the port being closed?”

“Some kind of hold up in Altissia. Guess we need to stay another night.”

That’s not promising…

The couple left, allowing Noctis to see on the posting, reading that all ferry services were unavailable.

“Guess the guy was right.” Prompto sighed.

“That doesn’t make sense though.” Artemisia argued. “It’s perfect weather and Altissia is a popular tourist destination. Why would they just barr all transportation?”

“I think I can answer that.”

Off to the side sitting on a bench was a man with platinum blonde hair styled into a pompadour. He had an accent that indicated that he was from the city; most likely not Insomnia, but he wasn’t a country boy like many of the people around him. His clean cut clothes supported this. “According to my sources, the Empire gave strict orders not to let any vessels leave the docks of Altissia.” The man explained, clicking his tongue. “Would be a real shame if you were late to your own wedding, right, Prince Noctis?” The man, introducing himself as Dino Ghiranze, smirked at the worried frowns on everyone’s faces.

As it was a security risk, no one was really suppose to know that Noctis was the prince, besides the most trusted allies such as Cid and Cindy. To have this guy, as suspicious as he looked, recognize Noctis at a glance made everyone’s stomachs drop. “ ‘The Crowned Prince of Lucis’ bounty hunting in his fancy car, surely you didn’t think that it’d go unnoticed. At least not by this reporter.”

Oh great, a reporter with a big mouth, just what we needed…

“Lucky for you, this reporter gots integrity--”

Oh I’m sure…

“--If you want to remain incognito, I’ll respect your wish. In exchange for a favor.”

Noctis looked at his companions, quietly asking what they thought. The answer was obvious in their silence; what else could they do?

“What do you want?”

“I knew you’d come around.” Dino smiled. “Let me see your map.”

Artemisia took out their map, handing it off to Dino. He jotted down a location on the map, handing it back to Artemisia. The location he marked wasn’t far off from the area, so it was at least not too far out of the way. She still didn’t trust him. “All you need to do is bring me some rough gemstones. Like this one.” Reaching into his pocket, Dino presented a red gemstone that must have recently been dug up, as there was still some dirt on it. “Do this, and your ship will come in. Don’t, and the papers will run you out of town. Capesh?”

Dino grinned at the others as they left the port, leaving him behind on his comfy bench. Once they were far enough into the main resort, Prompto was the first to comment over the ordeal. “He’s really got your number, Noct.”

“Not like we made much effort to keep it secret.” Gladiolus added, referring to Noctis’ identity.

Ignis sighed. “Even if we had, the press always finds a way. We needn’t befriend him, but we best not make him our enemy.”

“Let’s just find his gems and get this over with.” Artemisia muttered, disliking how they were being played so easily.

The group went back to the Regalia and took their usual spots, heading towards the destination Dino marked on their map. It wasn’t far from the resort, just up the hills one would have to drive to reach Galdin Quay. They parked the Regalia off to the side and everyone exited.

“You sure we’re in the right spot?” Noctis asked. The road was fenced in by rock formations, but none looked like they had gemstones in them. Artemisia brought the map to look over once more. “We should be. Maybe the gems are further up?”

“Let’s scope it out.” Gladiolus suggested.

The crew, finding a safe route up the rocks, climbed up, scanning the area around them for what they seeked. They found only dirt and rubble. As they ventured further up the formation, they came across a hole in the side of the wall of rock. There was light seeping through from the other side, so there was clearly more to explore in their search.

As they were passing through the opening, something caught Artemisia’s attention. She looked down and saw some dark feathers.They moved slightly from the small gust of air, brushing against her ankles. The feathers were bigger than what was the typical size for a bird. Artemisia stared down at the feathers for a minute before her face dropped at a sudden realization. “Hold on!”

She ran to the front, ushering Noctis back. Noctis opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it when Artemisia signaled them all to be quiet. Crouching low, she slowly moved forward until she was able to look out into the clearing, finding just what she thought she would find. Curled up in a ball, sleeping in utter content was the Live Hurricane that they encountered earlier. Artemisia couldn’t help the excited smile that spread on her face; seeing is one thing, but being this close to one is another!

That is until Prompto’s abrupt shriek shocked her and caused everyone else to shush him, the blonde slapping his hands over his mouth to keep himself quiet.

“Are you trying to wake it up?!” Gladiolus whispered harshly.

“Sorry…”

“I’d suggest we go back from which we came.” Ignis exclaimed, gesturing for everyone to leave the area. “No reason for us to risk our lives when what we came for is nonexistent.”

“Um… Actually,” Artemisia pointed to a large boulder that was on the other side of the sleeping beast. She could see the familiar red shine that Dino showed them earlier. What a coincidence.

The boys came closer to see that, yes, those were indeed the gems they were after. “Are you saying we’re supposed to get near that thing?!”

“If we’re quiet, we can get around it, probably. Just, you know, walk on your toes and avoid the sticks on the ground.”

They all stared at Artemisia, still shocked that she was actually suggesting them to sneak around a beast that could eat them in one bite. Some of that shock was probably also because she looked more excited instead of fearful like the rest of them. Noctis broke the silence with a big sigh. “We don’t really have a choice…”

With that, Noctis led the way around the beast with Artemisia right behind him and the others trailing behind her. Going by Artemisia’s advice, they kept their steps light and avoided stepping on anything, an easier task for Artemisia and Ignis but a little harder for the others. They were halfway to the other side when Prompto slipped and accidentally stepped on stick, snapping it in half. Everyone froze as the giant bird’s feathers ruffled at the noise. Prompto’s heavy breathing and fearful whimpering wasn’t helping either. Artemisia gently put her hand over his mouth to quiet him, telling him to breath through his nose. The bird relaxed, retreating back to rest its head against its fluffy chest. Gladiolus glared at him while Artemisia did her best to calm Prompto down as they reached the gemstones.

They harvested the gems as quickly and quietly as they could. Once the gems were out of the stone and in Noctis’ hands, they started to make their way back around. As they rounded the Live Hurricane again, Artemisia couldn’t help but stare at it in awe. Such a powerful creature is right next to them, and in such a relaxed state. Even in its sleep though, one can’t help but be mesmerized by its majesty. Its powerful wings that laid upon its body and neck; its feathers that would even make Gladiolus look small in comparison; its strong, needle like teeth that poked out from its beak; its vigilante eyes watching every move they made--

Wait what…

Artemisia’s wonder was replaced with sudden panic as she realized that the bird had woken up and was starting to move. “Noct!” Artmeisia called out to her friend in warning, rushing over to him as the bird stood up, trying to guard him with her own body. The wind blowing wildly around them as the beast spread its wings, towering over the group that were struggling to keep their feet on the ground. With a mighty roar the Live Hurricane took off, flying high into the sky, leaving the frazzled adventurers behind.

“Off it goes,” Ignis breathed. Everyone was taking a moment to catch their breaths, recovering from the possible near death experience.

“We made it out alive.” Noctis said with a relieved sigh.

“Barely!” Prompto yelped. “I seriously thought we were at journey’s end.”

“That was amazing!” Artemisia yelled out. She looked drunk on adrenaline, with her hair a mess from the wind and her eyes wide with excitement as she half-heartedly smoothed the bits of hair that were free from her middle braid. “Did you see how big it was?! And the power behind its wings; wow! And it didn’t even need a running start to take off it just,” she made a large gesture with her arms, simulating the bird’s effortless take off, “Woosh! Just flew away! Oh by the Six, that was absolutely amazing!”

Ah, they're staring again…

Artemisia stopped her excited rambling once she saw the looks on her friends’ faces. It was mixture of surprise and confusion. She became embarrassed over her outburst, clearing her throat and fixing her appearance to its usual state. “Uh…”

Gladiolus was the first to break the awkward silence with a deep hearty laugh, which was followed by the others’ laughter. The tension from the earlier fright quickly vanished. “We almost get eaten and you can only focus on the giant-ass bird!”

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen your smile so big! And your hair made it perfect!” Prompto laughed, holding his stomach from how hard he was laughing. “I should have taken a picture when I had the chance!”

Artemisia could feel her cheeks heat up a little from their laughter at her previous excited scene. Even though she tried to keep a pout on her face, her lip quivered as she slowly found herself laughing with the others. How could she pretend to be mad at them when they’re all so happy?

“Her hair’s still kinda a mess. Snap a shot of it while you can.”

“Good idea!”

“No! Stop!”

The crew had made their way back to Gadlin Quay, finding Dino where they left him at the port. Once he noticed them, Noctis handed him the gemstones they were able to pick out. “Hey thanks, kid! Sorry for giving you such a hard time.” Dino apologized, holding one of the stone up towards the sunlight to inspect the quality. “I just had to get my hands on this, even if it meant blackmail. See, I’m a reporter by day and an amatuer jeweler by night. This elusive little beauty is about to become a masterpiece. You understand, don’t ‘cha?”

“We understand that you have your end of the bargain to uphold.” Ignis stated, crossing his arms. He obviously didn’t care much to hear Dino’s reasoning for blackmail.

“Right, don’t worry. Now that I got what I wanted, you’ll get what you wanted. I know some people who can snag you some ferry tickets.” Dino placed his hand over his heart. “See? I’m a man of integrity. Though chances are that the boat won’t be here ‘til tomorrow. I suggest yo’ fellas enjoy the beach while you can.” Satisfied that their promise was being upheld, everyone relaxed. “Now, unless you guys got questions…?”

Artemisia then remembered the coin the man from earlier gave them. If there was going to be someone who would know about strange items outside of Lucis, it would be a journalist. She brought the coin out from her pocket and showed it to Dino. “You know anything about this?”

“Oh, those? Yeah, I’m guessing you ran into the guy tossing them around when you came in. It’s suppose to commemorate the Oracle’s Ascension. Their popular in Niflheim, probably got ‘em there.” Dino stood up from his seat. “Now, if you excuse me, I got some gems to cut.” With that, Dino walked off and out of the resort.

“I doubt a souvenir like that could make its way into the hands of an ordinary citizen.” Ignis inquired, looking at the coin in Artemisia’s hand before she put it back into her pocket.

“Ah well, it's our pocket change now.” Prompto said, not thinking anything else of it.

After their long day, the sun had started to set and with the promise of a ferry tomorrow, the group agreed to call it a day and spend their extra time relaxing. Gladiolus was more than eager for camping over at the nearby Haven, but Prompto was quick to argue. “This is our last day before Altissia; before Noctis gets married!”

“Actually, it’s going to take a while for the actual cere--”

“We can’t spend our last day here sleeping on the hard ground!” Prompto interrupted Artemisia’s correction, not wanting her to discredit his argument. “This is like his bachelor party! And what better place to have a party than at a luxury resort, with beds. Nice beds. Nice soft beds, and not a hard cold floor.”

“We can indulge ourselves when we actually reach our destination.” Ignis retorted.

“Come on! It’s just one night!”

“As the one getting married, I request a bed.” Noctis joined in, backing up his buddy. The four kept going back and forth in their debate; Gladiolus and Ignis wanting to save money, and Noctis and Prompto wanting some pampering. Artemisia decided to actually check to see how much it would cost to stay a night. Surely it wouldn’t be too bad to stay in a nice room if the cost wasn’t too hi--

“Guys, it costs 10,000 gil a night!” Her statement stopped the arguing men. “Do you really want to drop that much money?”

Gladiolus and Ignis looked at the two younger men with smug looks, feeling victorious. Prompto and Noctis looked at each other unsure. Noctis was looking defeated; even he was hesitant to spend that much money. “How much gil do we have?”

“What?”

“Do we have 10,000 gil?” Prompto reiterated.

“Well, yes we have the money but that’s still a lot--”

“We’ll earn it back! If we can afford it, why not stay here? Come on, Artemis! Back us up here.”

Artemisia silently stared at the men, her face hard. Gladiolus and Ignis looked at her shaking their heads while Noctis and Prompto tried to convince her to join their side.

“Artemis, don’t listen to them. Just because they’re frivolous doesn’t mean you should follow suit.”

“Come on, Artemis~! They got great food here.”

“Iggy’s cooking is just as good by the campfire.”

“A bed is warmer than a sleeping bag.”

“It’s warm enough in the tent with all of us sharing the space.”

“They have massages~!”

“I’m good with my hands.”

Artemisia double taked at Gladiolus, her eyebrow raised for his last comment.

Prompto jumped over to Artemisia, throwing his arm around her shoulders. “Well I know something that this place has that you can’t find out there,” Prompto brought himself closer to her ear, a smirk on his face as he drawled out his words, “A nice, warm shower.”

It was almost like there was a sound of her resolve breaking as Artemisia’s eyes widen and Gladiolus and Ignis’ faces fell. How long has it been since they’ve taken a warm shower? The caravan that they stayed at the other night had one but it was cold in under a minute. And with how bad the heat has been they’ve all been sweating like pigs…

“Don’t do it, Artemis…”

“Use your rationality, my dear.”

Artemisia kept tight lipped as an inner battle raged between her conflicted reasoning.

We do have the money but it would put a huge dent in our wallet. But we have been doing a lot, maybe we deserve a nice treat. But we could just save it when we get to Altissia. But I’m so gross and sweaty. Dirt has been stuck on everyone’s cheeks for the past two days. Mom always said that you don’t have 100 dollars until you have 200 dollars. Gladio is like a loud furnace in the tent and just makes it hotter. I want a shower so badly but…

“You can have firsties for the bathroom.”

Artemisia sighed, shrugging Prompto’s arm off her shoulders, signaling that she made a decision. “I’m sorry but…” She looked at Prompto and Noctis as she spoke these words, their faces falling in defeat. She then quickly looked back to the other two. “I want a shower.”

Gladiolus and Ignis groaned as Noctis and Prompto cheered, high fiving and bring Artemisia into a hug sandwich. She appreciated the sweet gesture, but her previous debate reminded her of how gross everyone is right now, making her a bit squeamish being in the middle of the two friends.

“Looks like we’re outmatched.” Ignis sighed. “I’ll make the arrangements.”

Ignis walked off to talk to the reservation counter while Noctis and Prompto went on about how excited they were to sleep in a bed and have an A/C. Gladiolus, accepting the defeat gracefully, even admitted he’s looking forward to a shower and relaxing, no doubt with a good book. Artemisia had a feeling she was gonna miss that 10,000 gil later but for now, she’s just happy that everything seemed to be back on plan.

From here on out, everything should be smooth sailing.

call me maybe by shinigamibutter

out of my league by koutarous

BINU!!! DRINKING TOO MUCH (bad bin)!!! i loved this prompt and @shouldveheldon did it so much justice, it’s unbelievable how good it is (but i’ve never been disappointed from her writing). the set-up is good and even if bin should lay off on the alcohol a bit, at least it got him a cute guy’s number, AMIRITE.

i’ll pick the white and fluffy clouds from the sky for you by spaceviolet (vividplum)

did you guys know im a fan of the cute fluff? did you guys know im a fan of the socky? did you guys know im a fan if you combine both those things? heck yes man, this combination was so amazing and perfect. ALSO, ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP??? im in, im so in.

your username conveys perfectly what you’ve done to me, @slaymyseoul: you slayed my soul. slayed it hard. slayed it nasty. and then you acted all happy in the end notes like you didn’t just slaughter a thousand hearts all at once. this binu just...all 700 words of it just ruined me for the rest of my life. you’re such a good author and it shows in my tears.

baby by beifomg

tbh now all i can think in my head is BABY whenever they call each other that, bless astro and their bitchin tunes. NAH BUT THIS FIC is so pure??? so so so pure and i just wanted to touch the screen and somehow lengthen the story with nothing but this pure moment between eunwoo and binnie. at least im so happy this was created, it’s perfection.

Let's go on an adventure! by Rach4040

BINU!!! CUTE BINUUUU!!! also rulebreaker binnie and SUDDEN RULEBREAKER EUNWOO??? i love the idea of cute, romantic teens going off in the middle of the night just to be cute and pure and getting back home in the morning and knowing they won’t get any sleep and will be utterly exhausted all day, but it’s worth it because they love each other AND THATS WHAT THIS IS!!! it’s so cute, gosh golly.

rock show by roobix

i know a few people wanted bartender jinwoo, which i might still write, but i think this one is even better than what i could ever do. it was so short and i longed for more BUT MAN what we did get was fantastic (and made me imagine bartender jinwoo, haha yessss)

oh, the stars shine by parkjinchu

the stars shine for @parkjinchu and HER BEAUTIFUL FICS!!! i missed her writing in the lull after the year we met (go check it out, go check it out on her page, wow i cry), but she’s back with DOMESTICCCCC (im so happy with all this domestic we’re getting) JINCHA!!! why is there not more jincha, they work so well together. (i’d write it but also im myungjin trash, i cant escape my hell). also cute new parents peeking over a bed at their fragile baby just warms my heart (also, relatable, how do you touch a baby without breaking him)

summer paradise by aseuteuro

nopenopenopenope. i shouldnt recommend this, so dont read it unless you want to cry at work like seal did (not safe for work, bc you CRY). it’s binu and i sorta expected it to be happy despite the angst warning in the tags (im not smart, i dont claim to be intelligent) but it WASNT, it just RIPPED MY HEART OUT, HOW DARE

colour me by heybinnie

i will be honest, i dont normally read reader-insert fics like this, but i thought, “it’s @heybinnie and she’s perfect so i bet it will be perfect.” guess what? it was. it was so dreamy and beautiful and breathtaking, and i seriously cannot wait to figure it all out! (JINWOO SELLS DRUGS, PASS IT ON)

flytrap by tinytaeil

MYUNGJIN, i thought. METAPHORS, i thought again. BEAUTIFUL WRITING WOW IM JEALOUS, i thought once more. and then it ends with my cries, why can’t jinwoo just LOVE and have HAPPINESS, why this, why the poor fly, why the amazing description and flowing narrative??? tbh, i think this fic was a flytrap.

forbidden love by jiminaddiction

MORE MOONROCK! look at us getting blessed with all this moonrock. i love this one a lot bc minhyuk is deaf and bin is colorblind, but WOW they’re so adorable and blushy around each other! each chapter that comes out makes me so happy and excited, and i can’t wait for more of it!

Loop by ContraryNonsense

WOW MAN THIS IS SO INTRIGUING!!! i dont read tags, tbh, i just click at this point when i see the description, so i didn’t expect the ending to the first chapter (then i read the tags and thought, “gotta trudge past the angst to get to the happy ending.”) and we’re ALMOST THERE!!! ONE MORE CHAPTER!!! definitely read this, pls do so, it deserve so much more hits than it’s got.

where soil lies, a new beginning blooms by @vocalpmh

THIS WAS INSPIRED BY WITCHCRAFT WHICH>????? how did i do anything to deserve this amazing piece of perfection??? i still read it a lot, it’s one of my go-tos when im feeling down, and im so blessed you gifted it to me, i just absolutely ADORE this fic. pls pls pls read, it’s pure and perfect myungjin (also butt groping, my legacy spreads)

breadtrayed by @glowingjinjin

that pun. get in my home, lanna, i need your puns. i think we had a discussion bc i actually dont like bread all that much but NO WHAT HAS BREAD EVER DONE TO ME??? or to eunwoo, who apparently can find time to bag up a bunch of bread, what a great boyfriend.

a love stronger than furniture by @glowingjinjin

stop writing funny fics to make up for train to busan, you can’t replace my broken heart. IDK THO THIS CAME CLOSE TO DOING SO!!! everything about it was perfect, and you’re so amazing with writing these cutsie fics??? (and then you’ll turn around and rip out my heart, i know you will)
