[keeps-ache]

every couple days i see something about amogus and i'm like 'oh i should play that again, it was so fun' like the game didn't make me absolutely feral

[thelov3lybookworm]

What if yn(Azriel's mate) decided with the girls to do the 'same shirt prank on boyfriend' on their mates!!!!

My brother.

Summary: Y/n and her friends decide to do a little harmless prank on their mates.

A/n: thank you for this ask anon, I love it soo much. Its too cute 🥹❣️

•○🌑○•

Y/n hummed a little tune she had heard playing last night along the Sidra as she waited for her mate to be done showering.

She was sprawled across the huge bed, trying not to show any signs of anticipation for the dinner date with her family.

The previous day, Y/n, Nesta and Feyre had a girls day, where they did nothing but go shopping around Velaris and eat at their favourite restaurants, gossiping.

They were in a clothing store, looking at shirts for their husbands so they could steal it later when Nesta suddenly turned to them, a huge evil smirk on her face.

Y/n knew nothing good came after that smirk, but when Nesta whispered her plan to them in hushed tones, Y/n thought it was the best thing she had ever heard in her whole five hundred years of existence.

So here she was, waiting for her mate to come out of the bath, the shirt she had bought displayed next to her.

She was about to stomp in there and ask her husband what was taking him so long when he stepped out. Finally.

A towel hung dangerously low on his hips as water ran down the divots and indentations on his chiselled body, disappearing into the towel.

"Oh thank the cauldron. I thought I'd age a century before you decided to grace me with your presence." She mumbled, eyeing him.

Azriel chuckled, walking towards the closet. "It wasn't that long–"

"Yes it was. Whatever." She panicked when she saw him starting to rummage in the closet for a shirt. "Hey Az! I bought a shirt for you yesterday. Look."

Her mate glanced at her, his eyebrows nearly dissapearing in his hair as he took in the shirt she held up.

It was... colourful. And ridiculous, if she was to say. Totally not something the dark and scary spymaster would wear. But it had been Feyre's idea to make the men wear something that they wouldn't normally wear, and Nesta had settled on the one filled with flowers and butterflies and what not. There were so many things it was hard to decipher what the patterns were.

It would probably give her husband a headache.

"Are you sure you got that for me?" He asked, walking towards her and picking up the shirt.

"Yes." She climbed off the bed and gave him the look that always had him agreeing to whatever she said. "Wear this today. Please."

He sighed. And she knew he wouldn't say no. So she grinned and kissed his cheek, throwing her arms around his neck. "I love you!"

"I love you too. But–" He put up a finger. "I will only wear this for today. Understand?"

She nodded happily. He sighed and stared at the cloth in his hands helplessly. He nodded, as if convincing himself before getting ready.

•○🌑○•

Azriel was almost fully covered by his shadows, making him near impossible to spot in the darkness as the two of them walked to the spot the inner circle had picked for the night.

Y/n grinned, bumping into her husband's shoulder, who sighed, probably for the hundredth time that day.

They had reached the restaurant, and were just searching for the booth where the inner circle was gathered when Y/n found Nesta, grinning at her from a seat in the back.

Y/n suppressed her smile as she pointed the place out to Azriel. He nodded, walking towards it. When they were close enough to see everyone, Azriel smiled before he came to a complete standstill. Even his shadows were frozen.

All of the inner circle was present, except Cassian.

Y/n raised her brows at Nesta, who inclined her head towards the wash rooms a little distance away. As soon as Y/n turned to look, Cassian stepped out, completely oblivious to the scene going on in the booth, muttering something to himself as he pulled at the shirt he was wearing. When he lifted his eyes, his jaw dropped.

He stared at Azriel, then to the High Lord who was frozen midsentence. Azriel glanced at the General, then back to Rhysand.

Then he finally turned to his mate, his eyes accusatory.

Before he could say anything though, Cassian burst into laughter, throwing an arm around Azriel's neck and dragging him the rest of the way. Rhys just smiled, shaking his head.

"How did you not see each other before?"

"I sent Cassian to the washroom saying that he had worn the shirt the wrong way. He obliged. That's when Feyre and Rhys arrived." Nesta informed Y/n.

"We wanted them to react at the same time, so I told Nesta when we were near." Feyre laughed.

"I hate you all." Azriel grumbled. Y/n laughed at her mate, his brooding expression like that of a child who was denied a new toy.

"Oh come on Az. I say we should do this more often. Maybe we should match everyday with shirts like these." Cassian mused, wiggling his brows.

Azriel looked horrified while Rhys just shook his head, grinning.

"That could be a great idea." Rhys said, glancing at Azriel with a mischievous smile.

"Not you too." Az groaned, his head thrown back. The other illyrians and the rest of the inner circle laughed at his plight.

•○🌑○•

The Illyrians were drunk. So. Damn. Drunk.

Atleast, Cassian and Rhys were. Azriel had drank the liquor too but not as much as his brothers. Or maybe he just had high alcohol tolerance.

And Y/n couldn't hold in her laughter. Neither could Nesta and Feyre.

A few paces ahead were their mates, drawing the stares of strangers and a few smiles.

Azriel walked beside his two brothers, shaking his head half the time, face-palming the other, pretending to not know the men he was matching outfits with.

And Rhys and Cassian?

Oh, those males had their arms around each other, loudly singing a bawdy song they had heard some time ago in a tavern about some Big titty Liddy, stumbling through Velaris.

The group was supposed to be at home. But they had decided to take the 'scenic route', according to Cassian and Rhys.

So here they were, following the two of them through Velaris as they made their way through bewildered crowds, occasionally bellowing a hi, hello or hello how are you doing to random strangers.

Azriel kept glancing back to the females who wouldn't stop giggling with accusing eyes, before going back to stopping his brothers from bumping into strangers.

As they neared the River house, Cassian and Rhysand suddenly pulled apart, gasping and sputtering.

"You and I are wearing the same shirt!" Rhys screeched, pointing a finger at Cassian's chest

"WE ARE!" Cassian swung his head to a tired Azriel, pointing. "HE IS ALSO WEARING THE SAME SHIRT! OH MOTHER!"

"Can you two stop? People are staring." Azriel muttered, trying to usher the two Illyrians inside the house, to no avail.

"Is it because we are brothers?" Rhys questioned, ignoring Azriel's desperate attempts.

"OH! YES! IT'S BECAUSE WE ARE BROTHERS!" Cassian slurred, taking to his knees as a tear escaped his eyes.

"Oh my brother! Where have you been all these years!? I looked for you everywhere!" Rhys fell to his knees beside Cassian, pulling him in for a hug.

Azriel sighed heavily, turning to the females for help. He looked so desperate, Y/n couldn't help but pity him.

Then, in the span of a blink, the two men were up, throwing punches at each other.

Feyre and Nesta finally stepped in and pulled the two apart.

"Don't fight! Aren't you brothers?" Feyre said, speaking slowly and gently as if she was speaking to a petulant child.

"We are, but he copied me! I wore it first and he copied me!" Rhys whined, burying his face in his mate's neck. Feyre nodded empathetically.

"No! He copied me!" Cassian complained to Nesta, who just laughed at the whining.

"If you have satisfied your sadistic wishes, can we go home?" Azriel glared at Y/n, who grinned sheepishly.

She turned to her friends, waving. "Take care of your children. I'll take mine home."

"You are lucky." Nesta sighed as she looked at her mate, who now clung to her dress.

Y/n laughed. Cassian started crying about how Nesta didn't love him anymore when Azriel winnowed his mate away.

As soon as they were in the confines of their home, Azriel practically ripped the shirt off of him. Groaning, he ran his hands through his hair.

Y/n wrapped her arms around him, feeling guilty that he was forced to do this. But she didn't regret it. She would never regret it.

"Don't talk to me." Azriel grumbled, trying to free himself from her clutches.

She pressed in closer. "I'm sorry, my love. But c'mon, that was fun."

"Do you know how stressed I was? I swear, at one point I was ready to throw myself into the Sidra and join the rocks at the bottom just to get away from them. I can't belive I call them my brothers."

Y/n laughed, walking around him and rising to her tiptoes to kiss her mate.

"How can I make it up to you?"

His eyes glittered as he raked his gaze over her figure.

"I can think of a few ideas." He said, leaning in close.

"No Azzie. You stink right now."

He frowned, and he looked so adorable it took all of Y/n's willpower not to tackle him into a kiss.

"But we can talk about those ideas in the morning... right now we can cuddle?"

His face lit up and he nodded happily, picking her up and walking up into the bedroom.

It would be safe to say they weren't patient enough to wait to talk about those ideas in the morning

She wasn't patient enough.

Look, here's why "Teen" CAN'T be Billy (and it'd make me extra pissed off if it is.) Spoilers for Agatha All Along and Marvel comics!

↓

↓

↓

Billy is a Scarlet Witch fanboy first and foremost. He's also a shameless nerd for all the Avengers, like Kamala Khan. Making his introduction be as an Agatha fanboy, even just as a con, is maddening. Why need her or help her get powers back when he'd know how dangerous she is to Wanda and himself by extension? He's already extremely strong on his own. Why nerf him?

For Billy to be here in search of Wanda, it means they would have majorly skipped his origin story. He had a new family he was born into and a team, adventures, love, all before he AND HIS BRO went to find Wanda. Hell, he thought she was dead like everyone else for a while.

Billy got Wanda back with FAMILY help. His brother Tommy. Uncle Pietro. Grandpappy Magneto. (I do understand the MCU won't let us have the last two.) A family quest to find family being turned into a Halloween Wizard Of Oz journey with an enemy would give me a migraine. They re-imagined House Of M so recognizably with Wandavision, so why would they fumble Billy's comics here?

There's no reason Billy's name or story would be forbidden to Agatha. Who would have made that spell? Why? Would she even recognize him when his last name is very different and family life has no connection to Wanda at all? I doubt he keeps blabbing to her that he's Wanda's son if he's really pretending to be Agatha's stan. (There's another theory of who Teen is that makes more sense for his name to be hidden, but his comics aren't in my wheelhouse.)

When Teen said a spell in the first episode, it was some Latin mumbling instead of his will. Billy in the comics, at least when he's still young, wills things to be in order to use his magic. He says what he wants like a mantra, out loud in plain words. I know the MCU might have nix'd this since he didn't do it in Wandavision either, but I still have hope they'll give it back. It shows how powerful he is, like his mother who could change all reality with an errant thought.

If the boyfriend calling was Teddy, that means they also skipped the couple growing closer on their team and the whole Skrull/Kree prince thing by this point in the timeline, and I'm just already so mad it's taken this long to even get one HINT of Teddy in the MCU, so if they really made his introduction be a neglected phone call I'll scream. He did stay home and worry and cover for the twins while they searched for their mom, but that's AFTER they'd established themselves as heroes and Teddy had his own family crisis. (They should have introduced him in The Marvels, I'm—)

No red in Teen's color scheme nor any resemblance to young Asgardian or Wiccan costumes. It's the weakest argument but the wardrobe dept usually gives us something. Billy had the color scheme in Wandavision and got to mimic his Wiccan costume besides (not the ugly galaxy pajamas they have him in nowadays). There's a promo poster that DOES have Teen in red with a headband, but it still seems off to me. Seems like a trick.

Granted, if Teen is really who most suspect to be another character close to Agatha, he doesn't have that color scheme either and I'd completely understand why...

Now stop making such smartass posts in the tag casually calling Teen "Billy" until we know. Because not only are you raising my blood pressure, but it's disrespectful to people who like to avoid untagged spoilers and you may just be setting them up for no reason. It's rude.

All my attention Part 10

warnings- swearing, kissing, slight-teasing

words- 1.9k

If you'd like to read the previous parts → All my attention series

a/n- so if you're new here I am British and cannot speak any German, I speak a little French, Spanish and Italian but German- no. I also do not trust Google translate so this is gonna be like an avatar thing (if you've seen the newest one Jake says that their language just became normal or something along those lines) so in reality this is all in German, you as a reader know German but, its wrote in English... make sense? no... oh well

(I'm so sorry I've not done one of these in fucking ages but I've been so caught up in things and tomorrow is my sister birthday so this last week we've been doing things for her!)

┍━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━┑ backstory- you are the 5th member of Tokio Hotel and you always thought the love was equally platonic between you and a certain guitarist... but what if that all changed?

Bill's words stuck with me the whole day- what were we now? I didn't have a title for us and neither did Tom so we looked blankly "it's a bit early to tell yet" I spoke curling my lips between my teeth, Bill rolled his eyes and stood up heading to the front door

"well when you decide, tell me" and he left leaving me and his brother sat, Tom just smiled warmly to me, his arm hooked around my waist and we fell back into the seat his face finding it's way to the crook of my neck

"can we stay like this for a while" he spoke into my skin "you're so warm" I hummed a laugh while drawing shapes onto his shoulder "sorry that happened by the way..."

"it's okay" he breathed "I can't believe he found you" I giggled feeling a smile spread across Tom's lips "but I guess it's not to bad him knowing- it's if the press see or fans or just anyone besides a few close people" we sat cuddled up for a while, speaking small sentences and keeping each other warm and comforted until the time rolled around and Tom had to leave

"I'll call you tonight" we stood at the front door, arms wrapped around each others waist "you'll have to tell me about what you did for the rest of the day"

"well I could probably tell you right now- I'll be sat in my room reading a magazine then falling asleep, fun right?" the dreaded boy laughed pressing a kiss to my head

"thrilling- right I actually gotta go now, love you" I pulled his head and our lips connected, a hum of pleasure came from his lips "I fucking love that I can do this now" he kissed one last time before saying goodbye and running back to his own house, I shut my door and stood In the hall thinking over the last day- so much has happened

┍━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━┑

"it was wonderful sweetheart! I didn't know you could cook so well" my dad grinned collecting all our plates "tasted just like nana's"

"well I thought I'd try it out as a surprise for you all coming home- what do you think Stella?" the little girl clapped her hands with a huge gummy smile across her sauce covered lips "good?"

"yeah!" she laughed as mom lifted her from her seat to clear her up "momma good?"

"it was, sunshine it was great! you'll have to cook more" I rolled my eyes playfully at my mother as she patted my shoulder walking by "right well I need to give Stell a bath- oh y/n could you do me a job, pop next door and ask if they have...oh whats the word?" my mom stood bouncing my sister on her hip

"your dress by any chance love?" my dad spoke pausing from washing the dishes

"yes yes! my yellow dress, tell Simone I'll pay her tomorrow" I nodded standing from my seat and grabbing my hoodie off the stairs, I grabbed my keys and went out, cutting across the lawn and jumping the wall over to their house, I went straight to the door and did my special knock, I herd a few shouts before a groan and the door flew open

"yeah- oh Y/n!" I saw Tom stood holding a bottle of coke in one hand and the door in the other "hey babe" he came out shutting the door behind him and pressing a kiss to my lips "what are you doing here?"

"hey I've come to get moms dress, that yellow one" he nodded re-opening the door and holding it for me, I walked in to see the Kaulitz's huddled round a table covered in monopoly "hello"

"Bill no you cant-hi sweets, you okay?" Simone asked coming over "wait let me guess- your mothers wedding dress? well wedding guest dress" I nodded "follow me" Tom smiled letting me follow his mom up the steps and him closely behind "it should be a better length now, if not tell her bring it back"

"it looks amazing, moms going to look beautiful- oh she told me to say she'll give you the money for it tomorrow" I watched Simone sigh giving the dress over

"your bloody mother- she's not paying me, I know she wouldn't make me pay. anyways; whats your dress like I herd it's a dark purple one right?" she asked sitting herself on her bed

"yeah it goes to my ankles, I have these black shoes to wear but the dress its self is like purple in one light then a blue shine? I guess you could call it that- kinda iridescent"

"you'll match Tom's tie! you two could go as a date" I turn to the boy who was already looking to me "Bill can take.. well I don't know" she trailed off as the two off us laughed at her words

"we could love" Tom elbowed my side and his moms eyes shot up "erm anyways- whats Stella wearing Y/n?" he tried to ignore his mothers gaze but I could already hear her words

"whats going on between you two?" she raised an eyebrow and a hot flush lay across my cheeks "Oh! I see- Bill was right then" she rubbed our shoulders then walked out with a small giggle

"right so mom now knows..." Tom huffed chewing his cheek

"its okay, I mean maybe its good? we said we'd only really let close friends and family know- bit earlier then we planned but" I rested a hand on his clenched one and felt him relax "it's gonna be okay"

"I love you Y/n" his free hand cupped my jaw bringing me close to him bar a few inches "so much" I pushed forward connecting our lips "fuck" he groaned arms moving to circle my body, his mouth moved down to my neck to my sweet spot

"Tom- no not there" I hummed trying push him away not that I didn't enjoy it, I was terrified his family would hear "To-ahh-Tom please" he pulled away with a smirk "such a idiot"

"aww" he purred tucking loose hair behind my ear "can't take it?"

"sure if you wanna think that but I'm going home now" I laughed trying to walk out the room but felt a hand grab my wrist "Tom!" he pulled me back jabbing his fingers into my side making laugh as it tickled "TOM STOP!" I cried falling to the floor throwing the dress to the side while trying to kick him away "STO-HAHA PLEASE STOP" He finally stopped helping me back up and kissing the corner of my mouth "fuck off being all lovely now- I'm going" I got the dress and walked out the room back down the stairs were Bill was giggling along with his mom

"okay Y/n" the black haired boy grinned

"goodbye" I walked out the house hearing the laughing begin again and I couldn't help but join in, I mean the whole thing was crazy I guess. I made it home giving the dress over and getting ready for bed as we had practice for a show soon and have to be there for 8 so I showered, shaved, did skin care, cleaned the bathroom and in no time it was 1:24am- I sat on my bed re-painting my nails before my phone started to ring saying Gustav "hm" I grabbed my cell and answered "Gus?"

"hellllooooo Y/n/n we need you're help especially Georg- he wants you" he sung

"huh! whats up with you?" the boy giggled before the phone was ripped from his hands "oh"

"hey Y/n" it was Georg "Give me the phone- erm sorry about that but ah... have you by any chance got time to come to..- Georg give me my fucking phone you asshole- I don't know the name.. okay its the bar by McDonalds and get me and Gustav?- Georg I.... I don't feel good- or get Tom to get us, we can't get a fucking cab and" Georg was interrupted by a heaving sound then splat "ON MY FUCKING SHOES YOU CUNT REALLY?" I began laughing "FUCK OFF OVER THERE- ima kill him"

I couldn't hold back my laugh hearing the angriness of the bassist "I'll get Tom to come get you because I don't drive yet but, I'll make the spare room up for you guys" a quick thanks was said before the line ended and I found Tom's number

"hey.. what's- whats up?" his voice was sleepy and I mean it was 1:30 almost

"hi so erm... Georg and Gustav need you to pick them up from the bar next to McDonalds- like now" I herd him groan but then the shuffling of bed sheets and his feet dragging

"I'll meet you in the car babe" I laughed but he was serious

"I'm not coming I need to get the spare room ready for the two"

"I'll be waiting" and he ended the call 'great'

┍━━━━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━━━━┑

"this is fucking stupid- why couldn't you guys walk to Y/n's instead of making me get up as well and drive to get your asses?" Tom scolded as the two clambered into the back

"well it was Georg's idea, he wanted to see Y/n" I herd a slap then a shrub from the bassist "what?!"

"dickhead" Georg grumbled staring out into the black streets, I saw Tom's jaw become tight, eyes narrower

"just say it dude- come on" Gus whispered erring another punch

"say what?" Tom turned back as we stopped at a red light "what's gotta be said?" he looked deadly, the red hue from outside making his features more intimidating

"Tom" I called giving him a 'look' but he ignored it "leave it they're drunk" I spoke just quiet enough for him to hear

"nothing has to be said man- he's bringing up shit" Georg protested, the lights switched and the guitarist turned back around giving me an angry look

"can you just take us home now" I asked turning to him, his body tense, knuckles like white mountains on his hands

"I'll fucking find out"

we made it home and the two boys had to help Gustav into the bed, quietly I stood watching Tom tuck in the drummer with an annoyed frown "thanks for this Y/n" Georg smiled nudging me "I'm sorry for what that dick was saying- his on a hole different world I promise I didn't wanna see you.. No no not that but- tell you what" the brunette rubbed my arm gently before walking away into the room nodding at Tom before getting in the bed. me and Tom tip toed into my room, shutting the door silently

"what did he say to you?" he spoke perching himself on the edge of my bed, I stood between his legs playing with his loose dreads

"that Gus is on his own planet and he didn't want to see me, but not like in a rude way but he gave up talking to me and just went to bed" Tom huffed resting his head on my stomach "you were a bit angry earlier Kaulitz?"

"of course I would be- don't want anyone acting like that toward my girlfri-" he stopped himself looking up to me and I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face and nor could he "my girlfriend.. you... Y/n will you be my girlfriend?" I nodded whispering yes repeatedly "good" he spoke before our lips linked and I fell onto him, straddling him, his hands perched for a place to rest before getting comfy on my hips "love you baby"

"I love you too"

The Outdoor Market

Content Warning: a brief conversation about religion at the end

MC

"Hello!" the butcher greets when we step up to his counter. "What can I do for you?"

"I'd like to buy five whole chickens," Beel answers. He told me that he struggled the other day to not eat everything he saw before paying for it, but that doesn't seem to be the case today. Granted, I'm holding his hand to prevent him from wandering off too far, but still. He could just as easily use his free hand to grab stuff.

"Five chickens, coming right up!" The butcher pauses. "Didn't you come through here recently?" Beel nods his head.

"I was with my brother." The butcher smiles kindly.

"Ah, yes. I remember now. You were one of the tallest people in the crowd." He glances over at me. "I see you brought someone else with you today. Is that another sibling of yours?"

"This is MC." The butcher grins.

"How wonderful! I remember you telling me about them. I think it's sweet that you guys moved closer to them after graduation." I was not aware that Beel came up with a cover story. It would have been nice to know beforehand so that I could play along and not mess up any details.

"They really mean a lot to us." Beel squeezes my hand, looking over at me with a loving gaze. The butcher glances around to look for customers before leaning closer to us.

"Allow me to offer you some advice," he states.

"Advice?" I repeat. "What kind of advice?"

"I'm going to let you two in on the secret to a long, healthy relationship."

"I'd definitely be interested in hearing about that," Beel responds, causing the butcher to softly smile.

"Well, the main thing is that you both have to respect each other. You each have to let the other live their own life without interfering too much, and you need to stay interested in each other. As long as you consistently do these things, you'll be good."

~~~

"So, what exactly did you tell the butcher the other day?" I ask Beel. We've dropped off the chicken at the house, and now we're currently sitting on one of the benches outside.

"Oh, that," Beel remarks. "I told him that you were an exchange student at the college we went to, but it was several hours away from where you lived, so we couldn't come over to see you very often once the exchange program ended."

"But then once you guys graduated, you decided to move closer to me so that we could see each other more often."

"Exactly." I like that he came up with something plausible. I wonder if anyone helped him hammer out the details of that story, or if he did everything by himself.

"What did you think of the advice?"

"I thought it was interesting. Do all human world butchers offer secrets to long and healthy relationships?" I shake my head.

"I think it's just a quirk of this particular one."

"I see." Beel pauses. "I wonder if we've been doing the three things he suggested."

"You and your brothers?"

"Well, yes, but I was thinking more about you and me." Interesting.

"Do you want my honest opinion?" He nods. "If we're solely judging by those three criteria, I think that my relationship with you is the healthiest one that I have with you guys."

"What makes you say that?"

"You're the only one out of your brothers that actively tries to not interfere with my life too much." He doesn't respond for a moment, appearing to mull over my words.

"I suppose you're right," he eventually agrees. "They either drag you into their drama or do things behind your back to alter certain aspects of your life. I know they do it because they love you and want to spend time with you, but some of the ways they choose to express it...it rubs me the wrong way.

"They want things to be perfect for you, even going as far as to try to eliminate anything that might cause you pain or hardship. But it's impossible. Life is supposed to have challenges, and not just trivial ones, either. Everything you've gone through, both good and bad, has made you the person you are today. You're strong, MC, but you're also kind. And smart. Incredibly smart." He pauses. "I think my brothers forget that sometimes. You're not just some clueless sheep that needs to be guided in the right direction; you know where you're going."

"Is that left over from your Celestial Realm days?" Beel nods.

"It was drilled into us constantly. This is going to sound harsh, but we were taught that humans were dumb creatures easily tempted by sin. Part of our job was to keep them on the path of salvation because they were too stupid to do it themselves."

"Even though we were created to have free will." He sighs.

"I've never understood that."

"Free will?"

"No. That's simple enough. What always confused me is why we had to exert control over humans. Due to free will, some of them will inevitably choose a different path than the one we planned for them, and that should have been okay. If it wasn't, then why did God--our Father--give humans free will in the first place?"

"Some say it was a test to see if humans would choose the path of God on their own."

"Maybe, but then why punish those that choose differently?" He shakes his head slightly and sighs. "I'm sorry, MC. I didn't mean to get all religious on you." I reach out and touch the top of his hand.

"Don't apologize. I appreciate the insight."

(Geno's Notes) [Author's Notes)

May 12, 1897

Dear Fresh, You will have to forgive me for not writing sooner, I have been terribly distracted. Count Renrik has had many questions to ask and stories to tell, nevermind I had been enraptured by the journey i've taken and now the location I've found myself in. The landscape is truly beautiful, but I will not ramble, there is too much to describe in this letter.

I wish only to let you know that I have been well, besides a small hiccup with my illness, which has caused me to continue in coughing up blood. Do not worry, the Count has been very understanding and incredibly hospitable since the moment I arrived. Dare I say, we've drawn horribly close. He requires extra assistance and advice, I'm afraid I may stay longer than expected.

Please check with Red and Edge that this won't be an issue. I will write again when my work is nearly finished.

Also, please do not forget to tell our brother I am alright. Knowing how he got when I first revealed I'd be traveling away, he must be completely besides himself now.

Love, Geno.

[Spoiler alert, that was not Geno and there was no love]

_______

I would like to apologize to Mr Stoker for what I have made.

May 3rd, Geno's Journal.

_______

I feel like I was only saying goodbye a few minutes ago and already I'm nearing the end of my journey.

For context, [UUUUUUUUUGH] I have left on a business trip to assist one Count Renrik in purchasing property in Ebott. Tomorrow is my final train ride. Afterwards, I'll make the last stretch to the castle by carriage. Then the castle for a month, give or take a few days, then back home.

I can't help but regret letting Fresh give me his hat, I know he's so attached to it and, all in all, it hasn't helped much in hiding my bandages, or at adjusting me to the crowds.

The people at home has long gotten used to seeing me in the street, I'd almost forgotten how uncomfortable it is to be stared at. [Geno actually lives in a city, where he would definitely be getting stared at all day everyday. please pay no mind to his apparent selective blindness]

I'm hoping a smaller crowd in closer quarters will have a little more respect than on the trains and in the hotels, but this is still far off yet...

My mind is stuck to my work... I still can't believe I've managed to land such a big job so early in my career as a solicitor. I find it likely I'll mess up, say the wrong thing- or offend Renrik somehow.

And on the topic of the Count... I'm hoping for him having a strong stomach, I can't imagine a whole month with my head wrapped up like this,

[Again, realistically Geno would have his head covered very often and would be used to it. Also, I really want to replace the bandages Ioriginally went with with something a bit more practical and comfortable. Not quite a classic eyepatch, his socket's too destroyed, but something similar]

[plus, I think a scene where Reaper encourages him to take it off and be comfortable could be cute]

And I'm so far from home, if anything happened-... Ah, I've been so worried about my brothers having anxiety, I never considered I might end up antsy myself.

On present news, I'm seeing about getting my hands on the recipe for what I'm eating right now-I'm writing this over dinner- for Fresh. It's honestly not my favorite, but Fresh has been developing a taste for spice. I think he'll like it.

Mem- Paprika Hendl

[BRITSH🫵🫵🫵🫵NO SPICE TOLERANCE🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵🫵]

Also, I've just had a letter delivered from the Count, detailing the hotel I'll be staying in after the train ride tomorrow. "The Golden Crone." A little place in the middle of nowhere, to rest on my way to a big place in the middle of nowhere.

It would be wise to retire now, I'll see if I can't get the recipe before I leave in the morning.

_____________

Imagine how cute a scene of him writing in his journal, eating his weakass paprika chicken, noting the little things in his head like Reaper's handwriting instead of just a journal entry

May 5th

________

Our ride into the countryside has been nothing if not scenic... and a little anxious. As of now I'm writing in the carriage. My destination is the Burgo Pass, wherein I'll transfer to another carriage closer to the castle. The rest of the passengers are going to Bukovina. It just turned evening, and if we stay on schedule I won't be near the castle til dark.

[I will bullshit some new location names later. I don't like putting my little au guys in real tangible places]

Note: Lots of skeletons, fire sprites, and furryfolk up here. The kind who can stand the cold. It makes me glad that I don't have any skin to feel the wind; if it's intense enough to affect the population.

While I'm here writing, and nothing of note takes place, I'll detail my stay at the Golden Crone. I'd forgotten to write before bed. (A testament to my personal distraction or the events of the night?)

Mind my conciseness. This is a recollection and I'd hate to affect the accuracy of my entry due to misremembered small details.

[wouldn't a flashback pace so well here?]

I arrived in the late afternoon and was welcomed in by the owner, a sweet older goat monster. She insisted I should stay a few days longer-because today (the day I write this) is Saint George's day and "all the evil in the world' is more powerful tonight- but of course, I had to refuse.

[I'll also be bullshitting a new holiday]

Mem- Revisit the Golden Crone on my way back to let Ms. Toriel know I'm alright.

Showing up late is the worst impression I could give to such an important client. But I was touched(?) by her concern and accepted a crucifix on a chain.

I was raised to find such things -if you will- idolatrous, but her pure worry, apparent good intentions- moved me. Her insistence that I take it "For my mother's sake," was the final nail. I've decided to keep it tucked under my shirt for now.

[Now I'm not an expert on the 1800's, but I'm realising now that is it a little weird that Johnathan found crucifixes kinda weird? Or maybe I got that from an online outline and it was kinda scuffed. Idk was strange to me. Will look into it]

Admittedly, it hasn't been that bad. When I put it on in the morning it was cold, and felt nice against my scar. Maybe I'll give it to Fresh? [SWAG SWAG SWAG SWAG]

But that is in months to come. Now it is the fifth, and the driver of our carriage seems- rushed. Anxious. My fellow passengers as well. They hurriedly talk to him in tongue I barely understand and he responds by pushing his horses onward.

Though he tries, they cannot gallop up some of the hills we're going over. No, they have to walk, and I've been half tempted to hop out and walk ahead of them. It would certainly make writing smoother...

Actually, I think I will ask.

He said no. "Too many wolves." Not safe to walk. But I guess it didn’t matter. It shouldn "t be too long n0w and the road ahead seems decently flat, if not a lit tle bumpy. From now on we'll be going incredibly fast•

Too ff ast to write. I will finish today's entry l ater. My handwriting,s becoming ille gl ble and I'd lik

e to pick up the con v sation.

[I can't remember what language they're supposedly speaking, but Geno does, ofc, know it. Just not that well, he has to pay close attention to understand properly]

May 5th

Burgo Pass, Transylvania[Again, gonna bullshit some new names]

[So fun how the third person scene is the one I'm least proud of]

"Near two hours early."

Everyone deflated in audible relief. Besides Geno, who was slightly confused, and the driver, who remained on high alert, eyes constantly in movement on the surrounding trees.

Geno himself found his eyes drawn to the gaping hole in the thicket they stopped beside. A break in the road. And off in the distance he could now see -thanks to the small gap in the canopy- the top of a tower, way off in the distance, backdropped by the pink and purple hues of twilight.

"You're not expected for a while now," The driver addressed Geno without facing him.

"It will be a shame when they come all the way out here to find nobody around."

"Oh?"

"We have to move on."

[HOLY SHIT RE-READING THIS IM REALIZING- WAY BACK THEN I WONDERED WHY THE DIALOGUE FELT SO WEIRD THERE ARE NO DIALOGUE TAGS. IT NEEDS SOME TAGS. NOT A SINGLE HE SAID IN THIS BITCH]

"Ah," Geno shuffled in his place, admittedly off-put by the coming darkness, "I had supposed you would wait... but, you do have a destination to reach," He secured his bag and rose to make his leave, "Safe travels."

"Wha- wait-" The driver turned, confused to find him standing, "where are you going?"

"Well, shouldn't I get off to wait?"

Everyone made their protest known immediately.

"No, no, absolutely not." The bunny beside Geno urged him back to his seat, "But-" "Too many wolves out, too dark, and you are not expected-"

"-Don't you fear animals? Or thieves that could be on these roads?" Begrudgingly, Geno let himself be resettled in the car and heard the point of the driver, but still, "I have first impressions to make and, as you said, it will be a shame when they come here and find I have not shown-"

"-If he has any sense your host will understand," the driver insisted, "You will come with us to Bukovina and spend a night. Or two. Preferably two- and then you can return and explain your reasoni-"

[making another note to say that, if you've been forced to skim over some of this text... Don't worry. Me too]

He was interrupted by the clicking of hooves in the distance.

Looking down the break in the road, from around the bend, came a cart. There were no passengers but the single driver, who wore dark, heavy clothes... it was almost as though he had dressed to match his stallions, which were of equal dark and intimidating stature.

Beside him, a bunny crossed herself.

"Am fost cât de repede am putut, cum a ajuns aici?"

As the cart came upon them and stopped at their side, two passengers exchanged quick whispers in tongue he couldn't understand.

"Morții călătoresc repede..."

[again, can't remember what language this is, but it should say "How did it get here so quickly?""The dead travel fast" kind of a cheap/weird move but i've always like google translating something from fics only to get hit with the Plot Relevance beam, like i've uncovered some great secret, so it might stay.... though I'm also noticing that Geno is supposed to know this language, yet he has no clue what this means?]

"Friends," Even now as they left the cart and approached theirs, the strange driver's heavy clothing prevented any sincere guesses on his identity, and his voice gave no clues, besides being masculine. "You're very early."

"Y-yes, yes," Was forced out by their driver and nearly lost in the breeze, "This, t-this is not an issue, correct?"

[Does Unnamed Driver seem weird here? i kinda think so but tbh, if you were literally watching death walk up to your car to knock on your windows and take your uber passenger, wouldn't you be a little freaked out too?]

"Not at all," As Geno rose for a second time to leave, for good this time, his arm was caught by the bunny woman.

Geno turned around for just a moment, long enough to make eye contact. Her mouth twitched, an aborted motion to open, a half-minded effort to say something.

She let him go, he turned around, and was immediately met with the heavily bundled stranger's hand around his, which helped him step out.

"Safe travels."

The heavy hand on his back distracted him as, with a screech of metal and the click of hooves, his temporary companions moved on.

They left with the sun, and Geno settled into the comparably run down cart as the new driver lit his lantern.

_________The Journal again, which I despise

-This new drivers features were hidden behind his clothes, and I'm too opposed to staring for a proper guess. I suppose I'll never know for sure. All I know is that they were likely male, his voice was low and... wispy? (I'm not one for romantic descriptions so I'm afraid any misuse will go un-corrected.) And he didn't have any noticeable eye-lights glowing beneath his hat.

Probably human. His horses were particularly jumpy, and it would definitely be harder for someone magically charged to handle such anxious creatures.

He offered me a blanket and pointed out some whiskey under the seat, otherwise, they nary spoke a word until we arrived. He helped me out again, told me to wait, and disappeared.

_____________________Third person and again, idk how i hate it more

Emerging from an open door dressed in nice, dark clothes, a skeleton. He had blank sockets that were slightly off putting against his friendly smile, but Geno, of course, was not one to judge a person for their sockets.

"You must be the solicitor! Queen, correct?"

"Correct, and you're..."

"-Renrik, yes. It's wonderful to meet you," He stopped to kiss his hand.

___________

He must be the nicest stranger I've ever met.

___________

END MY SUFFERING

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Why did i do this

[kakusu-shipping]

4, 5, and 6 for the agere asks for.... all of your BNHA regressors? :D

That's... a few too many characters for me to answer all in one ask, so let's limit it to just The League sense they all go together well

minus a Dabi icon because I can't find flags for any of my headcanons for them

Asks from Here

4. Does your regressed f/o collect things? If so, what is it and how much do you enable it?

I'll enable my League babies in anything and everything, first of all. Second, the only one of the four who actively collects things is probably Himiko. She's a bit of a hoarder of anything she deems cute and tends to just pick things up and stuff them in her pockets.

Not an active collection he does on his own but Tomura has more Dog stuffies than much anything else, though he does also have Pokemon and Minecraft ones his older self has placed on shelves he can't reach because they are Mint Condition back at AFO's manor. He use to get pretty fussy about that some times, but it's become less of a problem sense moving to the Bar.

Jin and Dabi don't collect anything, nor do either of them have much that could be considered a collection (or much at all)

5. Does your regressed f/o have any gear that they want really bad? If so, what is it?

Tomura and Himiko both get everything they want without question, so neither of them have anything they really really want at the moment and are rather satisfied with their little gear at the moment.

Jin is constantly back and forth about wanting a pacifier. He's worried he'll chew right through it and ruin it, but it'd make it harder to talk making the other him less likely to say something he doesn't agree with (tantrum triggering when they fight), but also he'd have to take off or at least lift his mask to put it in his mouth which can easily trigger an even bigger meltdown than infighting does, but also also he sees his Big Sister Himiko and Baby Brother Tomura each with want and his tiny baby heart is just so over come with jealously he can't contain it. If I got him one, I'm almost sure it'd fix the whole thing, but just cause another problem, so I'm waiting patiently for him to decide himself what he wants.

Dabi doesn't have any little gear and refuses any I've tried to gift to them. They try very hard to push their regression down and ignore it, and they don't want me or anyone else in the League to be apart of it. I try to give them space, but I have hidden a few of little Dabi's favorite snacks around their room, along with some sparklers to play with. They seem content enough with that for now.

6. What is your favorite thing in your regressed f/o’s playroom?

For Tomura it was back at the Mansion, he had a crib with a mobile on it, it was the only thing his father had ever contributed to his Regression space, so of course it was his favorite. It played a lullaby as it spun I'd never heard before, and always put Tomura right to sleep. I wonder if it's still there...

Himiko has a lot of toys, most of which she's stolen from dollar stores and gas stations, but one Jin got her; A 4ft tall Valentine's day Teddy bear. It's big and soft baby pink holding a big red heart. I ended up cutting the heart free from the bear's stomach so now Himiko can wiggle herself behind it and sleep in the bear's arms. It's very cute <3

Jin doesn't have playroom per say, he doesn't have a lot of gear either. Rather than sit still somewhere with toys and games he'd rather follow me, Magne, or Himiko around while regressed. Though out of the few things I've seen him get attached to I think my favorite is the baby blanket Himiko got for him. It USE to be soft baby blue but he won't let me wash it at all and carried it everywhere with him, cries into it, uses it to cover his face, and sleeps with it, so it's gotten pretty grimy and is more of a muted color now. Himiko thinks it's gross now and won't touch it, but I've convinced her not to comment on it, sense if she doesn't like it, Jin is likely to throw it away... and then regret it.

Dabi, much like Jin, doesn't have a little space or many little items. Usually when they regress they lock themselves away in their room and don't come back out until they come out of it, so I don't know what their little space looks like, or anything they might comfort themselves with... I hope they're okay in there...

The Bad Batch Season 2 - Mid-Season Eps 7 & 8 Spoilers & Thoughts

Ranted it out on twitter last night and forgot to share here.

LOT of thoughts this time

Major Spoilers beneath cut!

Really trully phenomenal writing, so much more than I expected to be said so explicitly. Open discussion of clones' rights, their futures, their lack of personhood under both the Republic and the Empire, even the threat of decommissioning.

What we always knew, what we wanted explicitly addressed in mainstream canon, stated by the clones themselves. Truly ecstatic about these episodes.

Absolutely loved the confirmation that yes, this is what Rex has been doing all along. We saw it implied with Gregor in S1, but it's so good to see it clearly stated, and to see him in action. It makes me hope he got Cody out too.

It also made me crave a show dedicated entirely to this fight. I once again understand and am okay with the TBB centering solely around the Batch. But it's hard not to be anxious knowing what all the other clones are facing. Which makes me understand Echo even more.

Echo's decision. I knew it would come to a boiling point, trusted it would. I'd hoped that Echo would convince Hunter + co to care, but they have their own priorities. I love Echo more bc he decided he couldn't walk away.

He said that his place was with the Batch, and I like to think that he found some kind of home with them. But unlike the rest of them, he sees the rest of the clones as his brothers too. I hope this isn't the last we see of him, but I know he is loved and respected with Rex.

These episodes were a wealth of nostalgic locations, and seeing each one caused such a beautiful ache. I love all the lush new planets explored in the other episodes, but Coruscant felt like coming home.

The specific locations: 79s, the Senate building, Riyo's room that looks so much liked Padmé's, the Martez sisters' place, the clone memorial, the lower levels, even the star destroyer, the stunning of the troops specifically evoking S7's finale. Everything the same but different.

We didn't get to see all of these places with the new graphics, bc TCW S7 only had 4 arcs and TBB S1 covered a lot of newer locations. But gosh what a treat. It was all so beautiful, both aesthetically and metaphorically. Defs need to rewatch so many times to truly appreciate.

Rampart's fall surprised me, bc I did feel he's the lone Big Bad of the show so far, the true embodiment of anti-clone. He's done a lot of unforgivable things and having Palps lock him up isn't satisfying, even if it was surprising. I unfortunately doubt that's the last we've seen of him, though who knows. I admittedly don't care too much either way, but if he's gone, it'll be interesting to see who steps into the next "main antag" shoes, bc I doubt it's Palps himself.

IAN MCDIARMID.

TRULY THE KING.

(or should I say, Emperor)

RIYO.

I'm so glad to see her again

(also, apparently I've been saying her first name wrong all this time??? Am I the only one who's been saying Ree-yo when it apparently shoulda been Rai-yo?)

Rex had his tiddies uncovered the whole time and I was so concerned he'd get shot. i mean he's the only chara guaranteed to live, and I'm also glad he's got a better disguise, but dear please wear some protection

(but yeah ngl it's nice that we got to see him armorless with the beefier new model. I am still remembering TCW Saleucami and thinking my gosh this man is a STICK he is STARVED they ALL ARE. I am always for adding more beef to clones.)

Really curious where they're going with the chips brainwashing the clones. Both Rex and Wrecker appeared conscious of the whole time they were under, trying and unable to stop and remembering it afterwards.

Yet other clones seem to be gradually "waking up," even though many of them likely should have been equally horrified at the moment O66 went live. Rex and the Batch aren't exceptions being Good Guys, the vast majority of the clones are extremely loyal and honorable.

Makes me wonder if after an extended time under the chip's control, that feeling of wrongness/fighting against it fades, until it seems the new ordinary? But then the more time passes, the Order weakens, and they're able to feel more discrepancies, hence the desertions?

The clone assassin definitely seemed super "under" an Order, extremely Off and not himself, like what I'd imagine a freshly O66 clone to be like. Which makes me further curious that Rampart had him (and presumably more like him) under his control. We'll have to see!

But yeah, to conclude: Cody didn't die! (didn't show up!) Named clones I cared about too much in the few minutes we had them DID die and I am still sad but, it could have been worse.

Also huh, not even a glimpse of Crosshair? (feeling a wee bit bad for his fans, that out of the first 8 eps, he's only in one of them...hopefully the next one will be about him ^ ^; )

'True to her word, the Enchantress had built herself a pedestal made of the deepest parts of the Earth, powered by the deepest anger of her soul.'

"You're not an all-powerful and terrifying 𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴, Ezmia- you're just a 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘵!

[kittenofdoomage]

Recap of my festival fun under the cut. I'm just writing this down so I can remember everything.

Download 2024 was awesome. Don't get me wrong, the biblical rain and resulting apocalyptic mud was crazy 🤣 but I managed to keep my footing the whole time, I was careful, and great googly moogly I was glad I had to the accessibility pass for the restrooms. From what I heard the regular portaloos were a HORROR show.

It wasn't raining when we got there on Wednesday, aside from a little sprinkle, but Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, it rained nearly constantly and I was very glad I prepared with my giant purple poncho that made me look like a condom but hey, I was dry!! We had to use trash bags at points to cover the bits that were getting damp lol tent stayed dry... well, ours did. The men of our party were in a different tent and it got a bit swampy 😬

The music finally started on Friday, we waited a bit to go up to the arena due to the weather. Started off at the second stage because I wanted to watch Scene Queen, but watched the first couple bands before that.

Hanabie - I'd never heard of them before, they're a Japanese band and they absolutely smashed their set. Really entertaining, lots of energy, definitely gonna be checking out more of their music.

Halocene - they were good, I was enjoying a good head bop to their tunes.

Scene Queen - I'm in love. Bimbocore is my new favourite. Her music is hilarious and feminist and just downright danceable. Will be trying to see her again!!! (My brother wants to marry her lol)

After those guys, I headed back to main stage. Found a spot on the hill and chilled out in my chair because standing isn't an option for my busted hip (jeebus, I'm old lol).

Those Damn Crows - didn't know they were Welsh! Been listening to them on Planet Rock for months, really enjoyed their show!!

Polyphia - not usually my sort of thing, I nipped off for lunch at this point and listened to them in the queue for cheesy fries. Instrumental for the most part but not horrible to the ears.

Black Stone Cherry - BLAME IT ON THE BOOM BOOM!! I love this band and I've seen them before, they always bring it lol

Royal Blood - always a great show, they had the crowd bopping.

Queens Of The Stone Age - little underwhelming for the entertainment factor and I left after three/four songs because I wanted to avoid the crush getting out of the arena.

By this point, it was getting muddy (see above picture from Friday afternoon). It then rained all night 🤣 the mud was getting really bad by Saturday morning but it's a festival in the UK, you have to be prepared for this shit to happen lol glad I didn't opt for the Yorkshire puddings in the village though as apparently a bunch of folks got food poisoning - I hope anyone affected is okay!!

With the aforementioned apocalyptic mud, I decided to stay on the hill again for Saturday's bands.

Bambie Thug - I was not expecting to like this, but I fucking did!! She was great, her rendition of The Cranberries "Zombie" had me in fucking tears as I sang along. She had so much energy and passion, really great set.

Wargasm - literally only listened to this band for the first time last week and decided to see them, they were really good. I'm gonna be checking out more of their stuff.

The Hunna - wandered off for lunch again. They were good, but I'm not sure I gave them the attention they deserved because I was so hungry.

Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes - only heard of these guys in passing, though they were a very enjoyable band!! They got a guy out of the crowd with his little boy at one point, made sure they were okay. It was a common theme across the weekend, with bands making sure the fans were okay, always nice to see compassion from them ❤

Babymetal - look, I'll freely admit, I didn't like Babymetal when I saw them at Reading a few years ago but after Hanabie, I gave it another chance. Sadly, they only played three or four songs because of the biblical rain storm that started during their set, but they were still fantastic and I think my husband is going to hate the music I'm going to start listening to lol

Enter Shikari - I like one of their songs, and not many others, but my bestie LOVES them, so I listened. I then wandered off and bought a hat for my kid because everywhere was deserted at the time and no one else's shoes could withstand the big puddle by the shops (New Rocks, all the way). Was funny watching the lead singer throw himself into the big muddy puddle though, his intrusive thoughts won 🤣

The Offspring - WHAT A FUCKING SHOW!!! These guys still bring it, thirty years later. I felt like I was fifteen again, rocking out to Come Out And Play, Pretty Fly For A White Guy, and a great cover of Blitzkrieg Bop (which made me miss my daughter because that's one of her favourite songs). I've seen The Offspring a few times now, it's a band I'll always watch at a festival.

Fall Out Boy - this band was the whole reason for me being there. I love Fall Out Boy and know most of their songs by heart. When I say I had no voice left by the end, I mean it. I was screaming, crying, head banging, throwing the horns, just having the best time of my life. I cried when they played The Phoenix. Screamed along to This Ain't A Scene. I wish I could go to every single show they play. People thought they weren't headliner material but every single hater can suck it because the crowd was huge and everyone was singing along. I'd share the video but you can hear my godawful screeching and no one needs that lmao. The crush getting out of the arena afterwards was awful.

By the Sunday, the mud was so bad that a lot of people were just leaving but our tent was dry and the only mud we'd gathered was on our shoes and jeans. This is outside our tent:

There were only three bands I was desperate to see that day so we headed up to the arena a little later. I wandered, bought some very naughty and sugary donuts to share with my brother (who has eaten very well this weekend because I can't finish a meal to save my life lol) and then sat down to watch the bands again.

Bowling For Soup - GET WELL SOON, CHRIS!! Chris was hospitalized a few days before Download, but the band, with his blessing, played on. They still did a fantastic set, rick-rolled the whole audience (about 80,000 people at this point) and brought all the laughs to the stage. I'd seen them once before this, and both times were excellent shows.

Sum 41 - their last UK festival appearance ever and it was a blast. They played all their greatest hits, got the crowd pumping, and hopefully it won't be their last UK show!!

Limp Bizkit - Fred Durst, despite looking like he could audition for Santa, is still full of energy and drew what looked like the biggest crowd of the weekend. Everyone was dancing and singing and having a great time, and I still remember the words to all their songs lol plus they had the whole crowd singing to Careless Whisper at one point which was amazing.

Avenged Sevenfold - little disappointed with the lack of entertainment with these guys, I left before they finished to avoid another crush and apparently they had a lot of technical difficulties. It's not the first time I've been disappointed by them but I didn't go in with high hopes 🤣

The whole weekend was just chill vibes, despite the weather. Food was good (we apparently avoided the raw chicken and food poisoning), disabled restrooms were amazing, no one got too drunk (I don't drink, so not a problem for me) and the camps surrounding us were respectful yet fun and played some great, very random music on the Sunday night that had us all dancing on the last patches of grass between tents.

I don't expect anyone to read this, it's just for me really, so I can remember all the little details and the bands and just reminisce for the last few moments before I'm back to school runs and work!!

A Summoner Birthday

Previous post: https://pof203.tumblr.com/post/723344868155490304/a-summoner-birthday

Story (Chapter 7 Part 4 (After Battle))

Now is your chance, Heyoka!

Alright, My Wakan! For real this time! Role of the Wonderer. Rule of Rending. Engrave mine name, Lupin Stone, onto thee...

Boundless Tail!!

With a large blow, you defeat the spelled Dagon and release his mind from confusion.

FLASH

Uh oh. Something tells me I'm in the wrong story. Sorry, kids, I'm going to have to play with you later. See ya! Over to you, Triton.

FLASH

What?! What the heck's going on! I don't remember tacking a trip to the beach! Ugh, my throat's really sore! Have been... singing the whole day?! Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with singing, but I'm just confused... And why is Lupin here?

Lupin: Sorry, I guess we better explain.

But first, we should do something about that sore throat. It's a good thing I brought some chamomile tea in a thermos.

One explanation and a few sips of tea later...

Mr. Triton: I see. That's it. I was actually there when Mr. Jinn got sucked in. I guess he didn't notice me walking in and just looking at what he was doing on the computer.

Mr. Jinn's Voice: And that is why we knock before entering.

Well, at least you're not trying to drown us anymore.

Mr. Triton: (looking a bit down) I know. And I'm so sorry for it. Let me make it up to you. How can I help?

There is one thing. You see that breaker panel there?

Mr. Triton: Yes. You said you were looking for them so you can finish rebooting this world of Mr. Boogeyman's.

Yes. We're hoping you can help us get to it.

Mr. Triton: (cheering up) You bet! Follow me!

You all jump back into the water and swim after Mr. Triton. In just a short time, you are at the breaker. Xolotl shakes himself dry... and then gives you a rubbing hug.

Xolotl: Here, harmono, let me dry you off. Don't want you electicuting yourself.

Lupin: (a bit embarrassed) Uh, gracias.

Wakan Tanka: (unimpressed) He maybe your brother, but watch it there.

You go to the breaker. Like before, you first press the red button, then the yellow button, then crack up the energy.

Maria: One.

Xolotl: Dos.

Hogen: Three.

Wakan Tanka: Four.

And finally, you the green button. The alarm sounds and you all jump into the water for cover as a large burst of energy comes from the breaker. It quickly passes.

Kurogane's Voice: Great job! There's only one breaker left. You turn it on, work the terminal, and you're home free.

Mr. Triton: Good work, everyone. If this were a test, I'd give you an A for that.

Maria: That's good to hear. Let's head back.

Hogen: (tired) I hope you like long swims. The ship pretty much sank in the storm.

Xolotl: I can teach you the doggy paddle.

*MUSICAL BOOM*

Hogen: (surprised) Now that's a big ship.

AHOY, ALL!

Lupin: Jormungandr, you're here!

Jormungandr: I couldn't stand it anymore. You were having a high seas adventure without me. So I invited myself to come down... And I didn't come alone.

You look to see that all your friends came, too.

Surprise! Happy Birthday, Lupin!

Now Kengo, we're still on mission here. But I don't see why we shouldn't have a little fun along the way.

Hogen: Where'd you even get this ship?

I lent it to Jormungandr. I had Kurogane make a replica and sent it here... By the way, you now owe me 50,000 Coins.

Andvari...

Andvari: (scared) But since it's your birthday, I'll give you a discount. Half off.

Lupin: (laughing) Thanks.

You board the ship and said back to Candyland. You and Wakan Tonka are looking back at the cove.

Wakan Tanka: This place reminds me of the beach we went to for my birthday.

Lupin: I know... How about this, when this is all over and come back to this world, let's all visit this place again.

Wakan Tanka: I hope we do.

The both of you get close together as you sail on.

Boogeyman: (smiling happily) How charming... But I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut it short. There's another reason I came on this ship.

Lupin: What is it?

Kurogane's Voice: My computer says there's something wrong with the last breaker. We think it might be damaged. Probably because it's in someplace very cold and it probably froze.

Lupin: It is?

Boogeyman: Don't worry, we have all the stuff we need to repair it. But they're in a place that's hard to get to... Which is why I'll be joining you this time.

Wakan Tanka: That would be great, My Boogeyman.

The three of you smile in agreement as you sail on.

End of Chapter 7.

"My heart has no pride standing here Good thing I can take the tears Sew you up as I'm tearing at the seams It's so good yeah while it lasts Go ahead and strike the match Burn me down make ashes out of me I breathe you in, breathe you in, like my first cigarette Breathe you out, breathe you out, turning off the regret Don't worry baby cause it's all my fault I'll take the parts that she doesn't want Breathe you in, breathe you in, take the spark with the smoke Breathe you out, breathe you out, feel the rush as I choke I know it's worth it baby even if it's just secondhand, secondhand love"

Paper Rings - Taylor Swift

"In the winter, in the icy outdoor pool When you jumped in first, I went in too I'm with you even if it makes me blue Which takes me back To the color that we painted your brother's wall Honey, without all the exes, fights, and flaws We wouldn't be standing here so tall, so Kiss you once 'cause I know you had a long night Kiss you twice 'cause it's gonna be alright Three times 'cause you waited your whole life I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings"

Cruel Summer - Taylor Swift

"So cut the headlights, summer's a knife I'm always waiting for you just to cut to the bone Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes And if I bleed, you'll be the last to know I'm drunk in the back of the car And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar (oh) Said, "I'm fine, " but it wasn't true I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you And I snuck in through the garden gate Every night that summer just to seal my fate (oh) And I screamed for whatever it's worth "I love you, " ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?"

Violet Chemistry - Miley Cyrus

"Stay awhile, stay awhile with me Stay awhile, don't deny the violet chemistry Stay awhile, stay awhile with me Stay awhile, put your arms around me Put them around me Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes Mixing all the colors like we're making a Monet There's something between us that's too major to ignore May not be eternal but nocturnal nothing more"

All Too Well (10 Minute Version) - Taylor Swift

"They say all's well that ends well, but I'm in a new Hell Every time you double-cross my mind You said if we had been closer in age maybe it would have been fine And that made me want to die The idea you had of me, who was she? A never-needy, ever-lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened, you That's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late-night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to come And he said, "It's supposed to be fun turning twenty-one""

Mamacita - Chase Atlantic

"Kind face with a cruel heart She can do it better than a pornstar She don’t carry no more xan bars She can work that product on her lonesome Look her in the eyes and go insane She been kicking shit, get out the fucking way She can take away all of the pain MAMACITA there is nothing left to say"

Call it What You Want To - Taylor Swift

"And I know I make the same mistakes every time Bridges burn, I never learn, at least I did one thing right I did one thing right I'm laughin' with my lover, makin' forts under covers Trust him like a brother, yeah, you know I did one thing right Starry eyes sparkin' up my darkest night My baby's fit like a daydream Walkin' with his head down, I'm the one he's walkin' to So call it what you want, yeah, call it what you want to"

Stars and Fate

Fate. That word was something The Wanderer did not believe in. After the erasure in Irminsul, he was no longer Balladeer, Kabukimono, or Kunikuzushi. He was just a wanderer. Of course, he had no regrets. Except for the one fact, he would never be able to meet him again. Even if it for a second.

INAZUMA, CHINJU FOREST

The Wanderer would often visit Inazuma, to return back to his homelands. A simple stroll could calm his mechanical ears after listening to scholars complain, children wail, and Lesser Lord Kusanali insisting he do things that he himself deemed unimportant. Something about Inazuma was welcoming. As his shoes clacked against the stone tile of the path.

The Wanderer hummed along to an old Inazuman folk-lore song. He walked towards the river. Kneeling down and he placed a leaf on the stream, watching it run down the waters. It didn't particularly peak his interest, but it was somewhat entertaining nonetheless.

His ears overheard a voice. One he used to hear long ago. Out of curiosity, The Wanderer got up and followed the voice's direction. Going down the trail and off the path to an area with not that many trees in it,

"Agh, damnit. Now there's a huge tear in this cover! What will I do..."

The voice sighed, complaining. His own voice filled the rustling leaves of the footsteps the wanderer made. The man was youthful in appearance. But not looking older than The Wanderer. His hair was an orange, ginger maybe. He wore a grey outfit. From behind, he reminded The Wanderer of someone he knew, long ago.

"Is someone there?"

The ginger shouted out, looking behind and meeting the gaze of the wanderer, who was leaned on a tree with his arms crossed.

"Woah, you almost scared me there. Are you lost?"

The Wanderer glared at the figure, there was no way. Was he actually here? He kept his cool, after centuries of being stuck on this godforsaken world. The wanderer knew what and what not to do.

"That's a big rip. I'd say you should just buy a new one."

He shouted, his face was expressionless and dull. He knew this was best for both of them. Best that they would never meet again, and he would never see the harbinger again.

But, it'd be fine if he just helped him a little bit.

"No! I can't. You see, it's a special one my little sister brought for me from my country. I don't want to come back with a whole different one. It'd be rude."

Tartaglia sighed, looking down at the tent. The Wanderer scoffed, to think a child would be hurt to have a precious thing given to their brother be ripped and discarded.

That poor kid.

"Ugh, fine. I'll sew it back together, but I need needle and thread. I don't carry mora on me."

The Wanderer looked away, looking back to see his blue, lightless eyes smile up at him. The Wanderer's eyebrows shifted downwards as he looked away.

He felt bad.

Bad that after this, the two will never cross paths again.

But it wasn't what The Wanderer wanted. It was what needed to be done.

Oh, Tartaglia.

"Whatever, just buy me the supplies and let me fix it."

The Wanderer sighed, Tartaglia got up with a chuckle.

"Let's get going then! Oh shoot, I didn't introduce myself. You can call me Tartaglia, or Childe! Number Ele-"

"You don't need to introduce yourself, I already know who you are."

The Wanderer raised his hat, looking to the harbinger. And giving him a small smile. A smile would never hurt. Besides, if he was never going to see Tartaglia again, wouldn't he make the most of it?

"You haven't told me what your name is, though."

Tartaglia smiled back, lifting up his hat higher so he could get a better view of the shorter. The Wanderer looked away shyly.

"I don't have one, you can call me whatever you want."

"Everyone has one, did your parents not name you?"

"Dunno, I just don't have one."

"Okay then, uh... How about... Hat Guy?"

The Wanderer scoffed, crossing his arms.

"What a stupid name. Is that all you can think of?"

"Hahaha, yeah."

"Just— Come on, let's just get going to the city."

INAZUMA, INAZUMA CITY

"Here we are, this place is wonderful."

Tartaglia walked towards the Ogura Textiles & Kimonos building. The Wanderer looked around, confused. He didn't appreciate the fact that the worker there looked at him oddly.

"Why are we in a kimono-making shop? We don't need kimonos."

"Well no, silly! The Fatui have affiliations here, so we can get some thread and needles here no problem."

"I don't remember that partnership."

The Wanderer muttered, but Tartaglia heard him either way.

"It's a recent partnership. For a little something we have coming up."

Tartaglia smiled to him. Every time the fatuus smiled at him, he felt bad.

The Wanderer would be lying if he said that he didn't miss Tartaglia. But he knew he didn't deserve Tartaglia.

He would only make it worse for him.

"You've been staring at me for a while, are you there?"

"Just get the stuff."

The Wanderer looked away. Hiding his face with his hat. He waited outside the shop as Tartaglia spoke with the shopkeeper. When he got the needle and thread, he waved goodbye to the worker and walked to The Wanderer.

"Are you alright? There seems to be something on your mind. You know, even if we just met, you can tell me whatever you want. I swear I'll keep it secret."

Tartaglia spoke up as the duo walked along each other. Going past the street vendors and children.

"It's nothing."

He responded, looking away from Tartaglia. The bells attached to his attire rung lightly as he walked alongside the harbinger.

"I know we don't know each other that well, but it feels like I've known you for much longer and much closer. If there's anything you need off your shoulder. I'm here."

Tartaglia patted The Wanderer's shoulder.

"I wish you knew."

INAZUMA, CHINJU FOREST

The duo came back to the camping grounds. Everything looked the same from when it was left, but The Wanderer hadn't even noticed the other tents. They must have been the lesser ranked fatui that served under him.

"Where are your fatui agents? I haven't seem them yet."

The Wanderer asked, putting his hands behind his back.

"Oh, they were sent out to scout the area and remove any lingering people. That's why you probably didn't see anyone. Anyways, here's the tent."

They both went to the tent. There was a cover with a large rip in it. Tartaglia gave the thread and needle to The Wanderer.

He started to stitch together the cover. With hundreds of years of experience, he could quickly yet efficiently sew it together.

"By the way, why are you here? You certainly dress Inazuman, but nobody recognizes you. That worker at the kimono shop knows everyone in Inazuma, but not you."

"You're doing a background check on me?"

"I have to make sure I'm not getting close with a serial killer."

Tartaglia joked. Laughing right afterwards.

"So, you're gonna tell me?"

"... I'm a wanderer. Nobody knows who I am anymore."

"Well that's a sad story. Why not?"

"I don't deserve to be known."

"I'm sure that's not true. Everybody deserves a second chance. I think that you're a good person underneathe. Maybe something or someone hurt you. But I know you can do good."

Oh.

The Wanderer stifled a sharp inhale. He clenched his fists.

"I wish I could. But that's not the point. It's you."

"It's.. Me?"

"Yes, you. You don't remember me. But I certainly remember you."

The Wanderer finished his stitchery, he swiftly cut the extra thread remaining, and looked to the ginger.

"Ajax, we've already met before."

He just stared at The Wanderer. His face was colder than ice. The Wanderer wasn't able to understand what emotion he was feeling, or what he was even thinking.

Then, he just laughed.

"I see then, I believe you."

The harbinger started speaking.

"Is that why I feel so attracted and relaxed when I'm with you?"

"Yes. I'm in love with you."

The Wanderer got up, face-to-face infront of the fatui.

"Haha, maybe this was fate. That's what brought us together."

He joked, leaning down to get on the other's height level.

"I don't believe in fate."

And in a swift movement, The Wanderer pulled Ajax down for a kiss.

RYEN!!! can I tell you I am OBSESSED with this chapter! spoilers under the cut!

“Oh, did you get the cookies?” 

“Yeah, they’re already in the back,” you huff out as you rush around the car. After getting in and catching your purse strap on your very pink heel, you explain while slipping it free, “And don’t worry, I made un-iced ones for you.” 

Your brother sighs in relief, as if you’ve never done that for him before. “Thank god.”

this sibling moment is so cute! i knew immediately i was gonna love this 💜

“Barbie was great and you know it.” 

“Whatever. Aren’t you gonna be cold later?” 

“I got this.” 

Steering the wheel, he sighs, “Okay.. You’re gonna regret that.” 

Fixing your tee and smoothing out your skirt, you make a mental note that he didn’t comment the usual things about your costume this time. Whether it’s because you grilled him about the Dalo incident or not, you’re pleasantly surprised. 

I'm so glad he didn't comment on what she wore like he did with Dalo. It seems like he's really trying and I love that for her &lt;3

Every yard around the semi-circle is chock full of decorations, from the ghoulish to the whimsical. Orange and purple lights scale whole houses, trees are covered in ghosts, and inflatable spiders and kittens rest on every surface you can see. Glee spreads throughout the whole setting as trick-or-treaters of all ages stop along the sidewalks, gawking at the views and running up to doors to procure sweets. 

It’s magical. 

I want to live in his neighborhood! my neighborhood is a little dry lmao i think there's three places with decorations other than mine :(

“Ah, thank you! We both are. The lady at the Halloween place gave us a discount.”

“For what?” 

“Uhh, being cute? What else?” 

Adorable. If he went with Taehyung to get costumes, you wonder how extravagant your best friend looks. 

Oooh, you got me with this one because i was NOT expecting it to be Yoongi and I am 🥵

When you laugh, Jimin stops to look at you with his jaw dropped. “Wow, look at you, Barbie!” Turning to your brother, he teases, “You let this happen?” 

“I will throw you against the wall right now, fang boy,” he responds with no hesitation, which pulls a high cackle.

ah, her brother tried at least lmao

“Yoongi! You, too?” 

Huh? Him, too? 

“Yeah, it’s fucking hot.” 

Hot? What could possibly be—

Oh. 

Fucking.

Hell. 

It’s your fault for assuming it was Tae that Jimin went to the store with. It’s your fault for not even entertaining the possibility that Yoongi would dress up. 

the way my jaw dropped when i realized!

And it’s all your fault for not being able to process what’s happening because even your own brother teases you when you cannot form words. 

You can’t help it. There’s literally no way. 

Because seeing this man up close, decked out head to toe in shiny black leather and hair properly tousled as if he just had wicked sex? 

How the fuck are you supposed to react! 

“I think you broke a wire in there somewhere,” Jimin comments through puffs of giggles, finally snapping you out of your inappropriately timed trance. “Ah, there she is!” 

Recover. Holy shit, you gotta recover.

girl, same! lmao i don't think i'd ever recover. i wouldn't be able to hide my expression after seeing that

“I just—” You gesture to the demon with your hands. “I didn’t think you’d ever dress up.” 

And Yoongi has the audacity to respond with, 

“Why?” 

“I mean. I thought you were..” Flailing for anything, you blurt, “I dunno, boring?” 

Amusement shoots out of both your brother and Jimin, carving a sickly upward curve into Yoongi’s face. When he looks away to poke his cheek, you know something’s coming.

But when he glances back and drags his eyes from your feet to your awaiting face, you're completely unprepared when he drawls, 

“And you dressed basic for what?” 

Disbelief slams your jaw straight into the ground, your little audience bent back with laughs so loud that some people around your group glance over. 

the TENSION! my heart is racing just rereading it! oof i need to fan myself down because I canNOT handle this! RYEN!

“Won’t help you, doll.” 

Shit, did he really just call you that out loud?

Ignore it, ignore it, ignore it he’s just saying that in the open because you’re a Barbie. “Whatever, Neo.” 

Yoongi quickly smiles in confusion. “Neo? I’m a vampire!” 

“Oh, yeah, cus you suck.” 

don't mind me, I'm just sCREAMING INTO THE VOID! he saw his opportunity and TOOK IT. DOLL. DOLL. DOLL.

You can’t believe you got through that whole interaction so smoothly. 

Because every time you’ve caught peeks of Yoongi since then, your body’s reaction is downright visceral. Borderline feral.

And it reaches its peak when you get a text from the devil himself.  

we all go FERAL for yoongi! Idk how she's only taking peeks because I would be full on staring! he's so gorgeous and i love him a not normal amount, okay?

Yoongi [10:02pm]: Fuck 

Shit, you can’t do this. 

If you start texting now, too? There’s no way you’re gonna be able to resist him. 

You [10:02pm]: what🥺 

RYEN plEASE! I'm WEAK, you know this! all he did was say fuck and my mind was SPINNING! and the 🥺 emoji? ugh that got me in the heart! please i neeed them together forever and ever

Yoongi [10:04pm]: You know exactly what 

You [10:04pm]: 🤪🖕

Yoongi [10:04pm]: I better not find you alone 

Fuck, you want that. Frankly, there’s literally nothing you want more right now. 

It’s been way too long since you’ve seen each other, and even more since you’ve gotten to do anything that leaves you breathless. 

So being this deprived and witnessing him in that costume? Yoongi’s the vampire but you’re the one that wants to suck the soul out of him. 

You [10:07pm]: maybe i want that 

fuck, fuck, fuck, i can't even think right now. why did i think i could get through this a second time INTACT!!! but also...i too would like to suck the soul out of him 👀 I BETTER NOT FIND YOU ALONE!!!! i would clear the whole house for a chance, don't tempt me!

Yoongi [10:07pm]: You don’t 

You [10:08pm]: but shyyy 

You [10:08pm]: whyyy* 

This is bad. 

Why can’t he be super annoying instead—

Yoongi [10:10pm]: 🤷♂️ 

Well. 

You [10:10pm]: 😐 

Yoongi [10:10pm]: Lmaooo 

Taehyung chuckles next to you, and you immediately lock your phone while giving him a slight nudge. “Shut up…” 

“I will once you stop sexting.” 

“We are not!” 

“Uh huh. And I’m not wearing a suit.” 

i love watching her crumble because SAME my lone braincell would be whirling around with nothing but thoughts of Yoongi! also Tae calling her out for sexting lmao i adore their friendship

Yoongi [10:13pm]: You look great, doll 

Why does he have to say all the right things?

You [10:13pm]: so do you baby 

You [10:13pm]: i better not find you alone either 

Wait. 

Have you ever been that bold? 

Seems like tonight is making you a bit scary, too. 

Yoongi [10:14pm]: 👀 

And rude. 

You [10:14pm]: 😛😛😛

the side eye! the boldness! ugh please i love them both so much

“Yeah, are we finally gonna meet him?”

“Yeah, babe,” Tae repeats, resting his smug cheek on a palm. “Are we gonna meet him?” 

Glaring, you respond to the pair of cards in your hand. “Not yet,” you answer honestly. “Call.” 

It’s you against Taehyung, and Dom flips another card in the center. 

“Hold on,” he stops. Turning to you, he bets, “If I win, we get a name.” 

What? 

Gawking, you try to send him every single signal in the universe telling him to take that back.

Tae is such a little shit lmao i love him though. and then for him to say if he wins they get a name! my heart stopped just like hers! Immediate panic mode activated!

Fuck it. “Fine,” you blurt, watching Tae’s eyes fully enlarge in surprise. 

Oh, shit, did he not expect you to call his bluff? 

Fuck, what if his hand is better! 

You and Taehyung give each other a look, and you can’t tell if he wants to beat you or is sad that he thinks he did. Either way, he looks stricken.

ah poor Tae, I'm sure he was just kidding. I'm glad it worked out for both of them. I know he'd feel awful if he won.

Why the fuck did Yoongi have to dress up? It’s doing things to your insides that you never would’ve guessed, and watching him be all casual while looking like sin incarnate isn’t helping. 

Or maybe it’s the way some people give him the biggest heart eyes and others rope him into pictures, knowing that you’re the one that he just texted. 

my heart broke a little for her but also i too would want to see and gush over vampire!Yoongi

Of course, the thought that some people here are probably ones Yoongi’s been with before awakens darker parts of you. 

Like that girl that just caressed his arm. 

But they aren’t as powerful as before, because you’ve been reassured a thousand times over. 

He’s not like that anymore. 

But as he’s pulled in for a picture with some other Barbie’s, you’re promptly reminded that he’s still not outwardly taken, either. 

Which coaxes another, sadder side of you to come out of hiding, casting a shadow over a fun Halloween night. 

How much longer can you take being the one in the dark? 

Screw waiting to find Yoongi alone.

You’d rather be standing together. 

i would not be able to control my jealousy, im so proud of her for doing so. i hate that they can't be together in public yet but i love them so much :( and then having to sit and watch him with other Barbies too, poor baby

Yoongi gives you a look, and you grin. “She’s learning a new spell.” 

As soon as the girl waves her wand, she shouts, “Turn into a cat!” 

The man puts fingers on his head in the shape of cat ears—something you didn’t even know he knew how to do—and in the plainest voice, lets out a low, 

“Meow.” 

And Yoongi’s wide grin at the child almost brings tears to your eyes. 

“That’s not a cat!” she corrects while smiling, and he’s immediately affronted. 

“Yes, huh!” 

“No!” 

“Look! I have ears!” 

“No! You sound like a human!” 

“You need to keep practicing that spell then!” 

Okay but has got to be one of my favorite scenes ever! He's so adorable and sassy and ugh i just melt. im a goner for this man, i swear

Your laugh seems to reach both their ears, because they both look at you with different faces, 

“Whose side are you on!” 

“You got something to say?” 

“I’m not on anyone’s side,” you clarify with a smile. “You all suck.” 

While Yoongi cocks a brow, your sibling calls you out with a knowing laugh, “You wanna shoot for them?” 

“No, I’ll make it.” 

I love seeing them interact even though all she can really do is watch and suffer as his wet fingers just catch everyone's attention. i hope her brother can be this chill when they finally tell him but i have a feeling he won't :(

Your eyes find Yoongi as soon as you feel an ick, now exceedingly cold both inside and out.

ugh i hate that that happened to her but im glad she was able to seek comfort in yoongi if only with her eyes

But when Yoongi moves to strip off his coat, you freeze for another reason. 

Because he’s watching that dude leave. 

Looking pissed. 

Something deep inside of you rumbles to life, and you can’t explain what it feels like wait what’s he doing now? Why’s he walking right towards you why is he—

He’s not gonna—not in—not in front of everyone, right? Not in front of your brother, right? 

Right?

…This is bold as fuck. 

Your denial is so substantial that you don’t even move when he gets close, handing you incredibly warm material and looking murderous in a black tee and pants. 

“Here,” he offers, voice hardened gravel. “Put it on, doll.” 

okay, i love him! risking it all because not only did he fucking see the exchange and the way she reacted but also offering her his coat in front of everyone and calling her doll. my heart aches for both of them especially since yoongi is so angry and can't do anything about it without explaining or looking suspicious and her brother didn't see, though if he had, i'm sure another fight would have broke out. and i wonder what it was that yoongi told jimin, probably about the encounter or asking who he was but i would not want to be on their bad side!

Even more people latched onto Yoongi earlier. Which you should’ve seen coming after his whole ensemble was revealed. 

But he had to keep them entertained because he isn’t taken. Not officially; not to them. There couldn’t be hints of him being cuffed, especially when your brother could see him at any moment. 

Did you feel jealous? Upset? 

To your pleasant surprise, not really. 

Because unlike New Years, there’s been more history between the both of you that can never be repeated anywhere else. Ties that have woven between your bones and connections that you have no plans to sever. 

You cherish them. And you’d like to think that he does, too. 

All the flirting just sucked to see up close, though. 

okay but im proud of her growth even though it sucks that she can't be at his side just yet. and despite them not being official official, she knows what they have is secure even if she can't be at his side. i love that for her

Yoongi [12:43am]: Where are you?

You [12:43am]: kitchen. but i was about to leave..

Yoongi [12:44am]: Don’t

Yoongi [12:44am]: Gimme a sec 

This is why you stayed. 

Because one thing Yoongi has always proven to you is that he will make time. Whether it takes him a day, three months, or two hours. 

Yoongi [12:50am]: Come up, doll

And you will wait forever. 

However long it takes.

You [12:51am]: ok

ah i have no words my heart is clenching. ughhhh the pain i feel reading this, i just want them together bc im a soft baby who likes happy endings and i know their story isn't over and i've enjoyed them getting here immensely but i want them happy and public already. im sure they treasure these little moments though and i love reading them &lt;333

And you hate how small your voice is when you greet him with a measly, “Hi..” 

Very much unlike yours, Yoongi’s energy is loud. Powerful. He takes his time, consuming you with his gaze and making you feel so, so shy in heels that are somehow still on. 

“Come here.” 

“You sure?” 

There’s a lot of people here still, and it’s not like they don’t know you. And they clearly know Yoongi quite fucking well.

God. You hate this uncertain, murky feeling. Because it could be solved so simply, so quickly. 

But nothing in life is ever quite that easy for you, nor for him. So the paranoia lingers and lingers. 

my babies!

With a shuffle of leather, you’re positioned right in a corner, breath catching because holy shit anyone could come up at any moment. 

Why is Yoongi not nearly as concerned as you feel? Is he not jittery with nerves? 

Judging by his lowered lids and unbothered line of lips, no, he is not. 

As he looks around, warmth from his coat slowly swallows you on both sides. His hair cascades forward; his breath can be heard in the space between.

And you really do feel like he steals you away—from the night, the party, the world.

just imagining this scene makes me go feral! like they both steal moments when they can but they just can't stay away and ughhhhhhh i know i've said i love them a million times but I LOVE THEM!!!!! and also imagining him with his long hair in his face just (i'm short) imagining him looking down at me, i don't think i'd survive tbh. saw him in NY and almost lost my mind fuck

“Now what,” you whisper in pure nervousness. “Gonna bite me? Drink me? Suck me… Dry…”

His lips ghost along your neck, and you grant him all the access you have when he murmurs, 

“Is that what you want?”

Your check for understanding is a sigh, “Want…hmm?”

“Me to suck you dry.”

You know what he means. And you’re already fighting for air as your exhale shakes. “Yes,” you admit. “Lemme do it, too.” 

ME TOO! I VOLUNTEER I'LL WAIT IN LINE IF I HAVE TO!!!

His dark hum rumbles your core. “Uh uh,” he rejects, one arm separating you from the rest of the room. “Only good girls can do that.”

That’s unfair. Fuck, that is really unfair.

You pant before gripping his coat in your fingers. “I’ll be good.” 

“You’ll be what?” he asks, licking a small stripe along your throat and making you flinch. 

“Fuck.” Your breath is harsh now. Very, very harsh. “A good girl.”

“Good.” 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“You taste so fucking good.” 

More. You need more and you need it now. “I wanna—”

Without warning, his lips finally find yours, arms fully encasing you in leather as he slams both hands on the wall. 

SEE ABOVE BECASUE I HAVE NO WORDS!!! RYENNNNN!!!!

But you can tell something’s off.

He’s holding back.

Why? Why are his hands still firmly on the wall? Why is he keeping his distance even though you’re standing right here?

If you’ve been fiending to touch him the whole night, he had to be feeling the same way.

the way she's so in tune with him and can note when something's going on. ughhhhh please i love them

“I’m doing this for your own good, doll.” 

Heart stuttering hard, you question, “Why?” 

Yoongi only lets out a huff. “Cus…” Leaned in fully, his hot breath fans your face, all of his dark syllables drenching you in hellfire, 

“If I touch you, I’m not gonna stop.” 

“Fuck,” you rush out, breathing so hard your chest billows out. “I want that.”

“You don’t.”

Fuck yes, you do. You aren’t letting another chance pass by. You’re feasting on him whether it’s for two seconds or one thousand, and he’s gonna do the same to you. 

DOLL!!!!! you sure know how to spark a fire! "If I TOUCH YOU IM NOT GONNA STOP"

“Thought I was boring.”

Another groan into his mouth. “You know I didn’t mean that.”

“Say sorry then.”

It’s your turn to giggle, “And if I don’t?”

Fingers ghost along your throat before they squeeze in warning. “Try it.”

Attempting a whine, you press your shoulders back into the wall, fingers still clinging to his dark shirt. “I kinda… I kinda want to.” 

“I know you do.” He shoves one of your legs away with a strong thigh, pushing his weight forward and accusing, “Wanna be a brat so bad, huh.”

I love that he brought it up lmao she had to say he was boring. it's so hard to watch them have to keep up appearances but then Yoongi is THE brat tamer and ugh i need to reread the whole series again and simmer in this Yoongi because rereading it a few times is not enough. i need them permanently ingrained in my mind forever!!!!!

All you needed was the last hit of this man’s magnetism. “Wanna be a lot of things for you..” 

Amusement rumbles out like thunder. “Like what.”

Giggling, you admit, “I didn’t dress like this for nothing.”

“I know.” He kisses you in a way that has you swooning. “I could get used to this.” 

“This wouldn’t get old?” 

“Fuck no.” His hands move straight to your ass. “Not if it’s you.”

idk why but "Wanna be a lot of things for you" hit something inside me and 🥵🥵🥵🥵 i just love that she dressed like that for him bc that's something i'd do too like they both did it for each other not knowing if they could have a moment together or not and him being down so bad "not if it's you" like he's such a cutie but also still so fucking hot like the duality is driving me off the wall

Confused, you pout in a whine. “You said it was basic.”

“It is.” He goes right for your neck for another feast. “And it’s fuckin’ hot.” 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“Fuck, you shouldn’t’ve come up here.” 

“Wait, why—”

“Cus now I’m—Fuck it, come on.”

“Yoongi, what—” 

He holds a finger on his lips before peeking through the door, and he shuts it with a click when he seems convinced. 

And you’re even more alone with the demon of your dreams—now shrouded in bright white from the string lights in this space.

the way he can't resist her! and totally agree, Min Yoongi is a demon!!! I don't think I could ever look him in the eye, oof

“We don’t have to, doll.” 

And if you’re honest… 

The thrill of it is enticing.

“We can.” 

“I got us,” he assures with a kiss, now grinning like mad. “Lemme live this out just once.” 

"I got us" please i'd entrust him with my LIFEEEEEEE! also we love a consent king &lt;333

Because you saw Yoongi leave the door unlocked. There’s no recovering if someone opens it without you both hearing them, because the closet is opposite from the bed. You will absolutely not get there in time. 

Be it the holiday itself, or the fact that Yoongi’s positively enjoying himself, you feel more enthralled by the danger than you’ve ever been. 

“Chill, love,” he laughs, a glint in his eye as he kisses your bra. “Never done this before?” 

“No, but— fuck.” 

Your soft moan stems from him slipping your bra down, licking at your chest and groaning at your scent. 

“God, you’re so perfect.” 

the thrill of getting caught though! I'd risk it all, consequences be dammned! and he called her LOVE! LOVE!!!!!!!!! Yoongi, give me one chance!

 “Couldn’t fucking wait to get you alone.” 

Fucking hell, do you feel the same. Truthfully, you didn’t think you’d even get the chance. As you arch into his chest, your bare skin heats under his mountain of dark clothes. “Wanted to be with you all night…” 

“Same.” The next kiss proves deep, and he slides a hand under your head to claim as much of you as he can. His lips leave yours with a pop before he grips you with conviction. “Fuck, you should’ve been.” 

Oh. 

You know why he’s holding you so hard. 

And it touches the deepest, softest parts of your soul. 

I wanna cry! he's driving me insane! "couldn't fucking wait to get you alone" 🥵🥵🥵 but also the way he's holding her and just fuck that guy that hugged her to feel her up and yoongi holding back bc he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable (?)

“Besides,” you continue, waiting until he finally looks at you. When he does, you slyly smooth both hands over your breasts, pushing them together right in front of his face. “These are yours, right?”

Like a switch abruptly flipped, Yoongi’s whole demeanor changes on a dime. 

Hungry eyes rake over your chest before he plants a kiss on your fingers before anything else. “What else is mine.” 

Your cunt quakes at the question, making you drag one of his hands down to the side of your ass. “This,” you whisper, biting back glee as he grabs right at it. 

His mouth hovers over yours now, voice so low it sounds more like distant thunder, “What else, doll.” 

aHHHHH her telling him that they're his! ugh can i be in her place? and then he has the auDACITY to say "What else is mine" my one braincell and Yoongi rot cannot handle this. RYEN have some mercy on me bc AHHHHHHHHHH and then you throw in a DOLL!!!!

“That it?” he asks with a lilt. “You sure?” 

Gnawing your lip, you shake your head, garnering more and more courage to tell him one last answer. 

“Don’t be shy,” he orders through a wicked grin. “Tell me.” 

ughhhh this coky Yoongi has my head spinning! I can't even form words or thoughts! like this killed me the first time i read it and now it's hitting everything again and i'mmmmmm !!!!!!

There’s a bit of silence before Taehyung responds, but you suddenly get distracted by someone much, much closer. 

Because Yoongi’s slowly roaming a finger along the hem of your skirt, hooking it in and slowly tugging you forward what the fuck!

When your wide eyes meet his, you can tell he’s thoroughly enjoying this. And you have to clamp your mouth shut when he casually starts feeling over your shirt.  

This man is going to be the end of you. 

NOT him making a move while Tae and Jimin are on the other side of the door! but lowkey that's so hot though and trying to stay quiet and also Yoongi not caring bc this is their stolen moment, consequences be damned. they deserve it!

And it’s his turn to suffer when you grab at his chains, because you tug him enough to get access to his neck as soon as you hear your friend again. 

Yoongi’s breath puffs over your shoulder, and he buries his head in your tee while you lick and suck him with a vengeance. His hands grapple your hips, taking no time in circling back over your ass. 

ughhhhhhhhhh 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

“You’re gonna pay for that.” 

“Says you,” you pant, mewling when his lips latch onto your neck for the umpteenth time. “What do we do now?” 

After another suck, Yoongi lifts his head. “With what?” 

“This,” you clarify, gesturing to the closet space. “We have to leave, right?” 

“Do you want to?” 

“Not really,” you whisper in admittance. “You?”

“Fuck no.” 

they want each other so bad! i want them to have all the time in the world! also yoongi's fuck no 🥵 and "YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT" fuck, gladly

“Careful, doll,” Yoongi quells. “Gotta keep that mouth shut, yeah?” 

You nod before realizing he probably can’t see, so you whisper an affirmative before slamming your lips shut. 

Because one touch of his fingers on your covered slit has you already losing it. 

A manicured hand slaps over your mouth as you widen your legs, gripping his coat with the other as he surrounds you mentally and physically. All you can think about is the way he’s calmly shifting your panties, expertly sliding over your cunt and chuckling right in your ear. 

“You’ve been this wet this whole time?” 

Gasping, you hum out a yes, and Yoongi laughs the scariest you've ever heard him,

“Nah, we’re fucking in here.” 

CAN YOU HEAR ME SCREAMING FROM MY HOUSE?????!!!! "NAH We'RE FUCKING IN HERE" a true MENACE TO SOCIETY (and i love HIM OKAY)

What the fuck! What is he doing why is he going for a casual stroll with a boner right now? 

When Yoongi holds one up, he laughs. “I actually didn’t know if he had some up here, by the way.” 

“Sure you didn’t.” 

lmao the way he just left without saying a word but also good for him for finding one even in the heat of everything! "Sure you didn't"

His name slips out on your breaths, and his growls make you quiver with more and more impatience, 

“So fucking wet.” 

Fuck. 

“Gonna take this dick so well.” 

Nope.

RYENNNNN when will you have mercy on me? all i have to say is NOPE. head spinning, pearls clutched, but also wanting more 👀

When he leans forward, his warm shirt and chilly chains on your bare skin alone push you even further. “Hands over that mouth, doll,” he rasps in your ear. “Can’t be loud for me this time.” 

“Mmhmm.”

“Good girl.” 

OOF im okay, im okay.... i'M NOT OKATYYYY

Because Yoongi plunges into you so smoothly that your moan almost flows right out of your fingers. 

Holy shit you really were that wet. But he's still so big. So, so big, and filling you too well fuck are you being too loud because it feels so fucking—

“Thought you were just gonna dip without saying bye?”

Oh, fuck.

I had to remind myself to BREATHEEEEEE

Yoongi did not wait until he was inside of you to say that.

“Think you’d just show up looking cute and talk some shit, huh.”

Damn it. He did. Fuck, fuck, fuck, he’s a demon and you have nowhere to run now. 

“Show me up then.”

Stranded on his dick with only the wall and your heels to support you.

Oh, he’s a killer. 

And he’s all yours.

Thrusting back, you start slow, groaning into your hand at how large he is. It’s a wonder you can even move, and your jaw unhinges when you feel his dick hit a certain spot just right.

Again, and again, you fuck him as deep as you can take, slamming your ass into his pelvis and finding pride in the divots he’s sinking into your cheeks.

Yoongi’s still unhelpful, but you can tell he’s breaking. His grip is getting harder, his minuscule groans lower and more forced. Even the tiniest curse makes you preen, and you throw a look over your shoulder to hear him better.

Which is the worst best thing to do. 

“Fuck, doll.”

RYEN I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! im hanging by a THREAD! and you add "fuck DOLL" i'm sobBING and the fact that he WAITED until he was inside her to mention it???? he's been thinking about it ALL NIGHT! Fuck, fuck, fuck! and her fucking herself on him, I can't. I just CANNOTTTTTTTTTTT

And his pace is relentless, pumping into you so well that every thrust catapults you across space and time. 

You’re outright panting now, feeling him deep in your guts and the strong lines of his forearm pressed into your chest. 

“Breathe in for me.”

And you do, feeling his hand close around your throat while fingers lodge themselves inside your mouth. 

Fuck! 

Your eyes roll so far back you can probably see him if you had light, and you’re mercifully let go before you need to gasp for oxygen. 

“Again.”

When you obey, Yoongi chokes you again, and you’re finding it euphoric as he clasps your column even harder. Every time he does, you clench around his cock, and a warm feeling washes over you every time he lets go. 

my single braincell is waving a white flag in surrender. you really said "let me destroy B. let me make her suffer with this absolute DEMON yoongi!"

“How’s that feel, baby girl,” he asks, humming in approval when you drag a reply out,

“So good.” 

“Good.” He kisses your sweaty cheek before easily admitting, “I like it, too.”

Stilling, you turn as far as you can to regard him, asking in the tiniest voice, “You do?”

He darts his eyes to your lips before nodding. “You can try it next time.”

NEXT TIME???? 👀👀👀👀👀👀

“Love these tits,” Yoongi grits. “Fuck.”

“I didn’t wanna wear a bra.”

He immediately chuckles. Darkness and sin brushing your chest. “I would’ve left.” 

You hum in mirth, knowing exactly what he means by that. As much as you wanted to tease him, you know that decision would’ve immediately gotten him in trouble. 

i know he would have been STUGGLING! it's hard enough staying away and pretending not to be involved. i applaud their self-control bc i would have folded! ughhh and just imagining her in his coat, like oof i hope he enjoyed it, a subtle that's mine lowkey 🥵

“There you go,” he rumbles. “You gonna come?”

You pant out before nodding, every muscle thrumming like hell. 

“Then come for me, doll.”

“Uh huh,” he praises. “Still wanna talk shit?”

And you do. Tears leak from your eyes as you nod, orgasm riding farther than ever, waves unending and your mental shore nowhere in sight. 

“Course you do.” Yoongi claims your mouth. “Fuckin’ love it.”

don't mind me "FUCKIN' LOVE IT" okAY oAKY OKAYYYY

Nothing will stop you at this point. Anyone could come in and you’d still be pleasuring Yoongi until he breaks. 

Because you want this. He’s earned this. 

Your knees hit the ground right as you take him in your mouth, tasting the strange mix of salt and latex but knowing it won’t be for long. 

This is what you’ve been wanting to do since he gave you his goddamn coat, and your imagination has been so vastly outdone by reality that you feel like none of it’s truly happening. 

When you flick your eyes upward, you get another thing you’ve been yearning for. 

Yoongi is fighting for his life. 

You can barely see that his eyes are squeezed tight, and you catch a tiny glimpse of his mouth agape before he bites it shut. When you suck in hard, his whole body flinches, and for the first time that night, he’s the one with a hand over his mouth. 

FUCK

He’s promising dark and wonderful things above your head, and you feel him grip your chin as soon as you pop off of his dick.

“Open that mouth.”

You show him, hoping he can tell in the dim light that there’s no drop left on your tongue.

“God damn.”

That's SO HOT! HERE, just take what's left!

“Making me yours.” When you slightly pull on his jacket, you hope he gets what you mean. “Even if no one else knows.” 

His tiny peck on your cheek is genuine and, if you aren’t mistaken, a little prideful. “They’re going to, doll,” he vows into your skin. “I told you, you're gonna get tired of me.” 

"Lies," you sigh in peace. “So I get Halloween pictures with you next time, too?” 

And you fuss up a quiet storm before he lets you fix yourself, smiling at his camera as he squishes his sweaty, satisfied as fuck face right next to yours. 

If anyone ever comes across those pictures on his phone, you will never ever tell them the context. They'll never know why your makeup looks like that, or why his hair is even more haphazard, or why you both look way too happy to be in a closet.

MY BABIES! and she got pictures! ughhhhh my heart! and him assuring her that the whole damn world will know she's his! and he's hers! ughhhhhhh please my loves!

Yoongi [2:45am]: Text me when you’re home 

You [2:45am]: but im not going to your place :((  

What is home, if not where you feel the most at peace? Where you feel like you can be yourself and not worry about sneaking around? Where you know someone will protect you and be that person you can go to without any questions asked? 

Yoongi [2:47am]: Next Halloween you will be 

It’s definitely with Yoongi. 

Right now, you know your home is with him. 

HE's HER HOME! I'm SOBBINGGGGG i can't wait for them to be together all the time and her having a few things at his place slowly until half his closet is her stuff :(

You [2:47am]: turn into a cat 

Yoongi [2:47am]: 😒

Taehyung looks at you when you laugh, and his grin grows when he can tell you’re genuinely happy. 

And when Yoongi actually sends you a selfie matching the ear gesture he did earlier, you feel the endearing prick of hot tears in your eyes. 

THEY'RE ADORABLEEEEEEE

Yoongi [2:49am]: 1 Attachment 

He has a distinct matching mark on his neck.

And you are one thousand percent sure he took the picture knowing it's visible.

Yoongi [2:50am]: Meow :)

Happy Halloween indeed. 

The PICTURE SHOWING HIS HICKEY!!!!! I WOULD COMBUST INTO PIECES LIKE MATCHING HICKEYS???!?!?!?! YES!!!

RYEN, you've absolutely RUINED ME. DESTROYED ME. OBLITERATED ME with this chapter. I loved it so much! the tension, the slight angst, the need to be around each other, the cute cat moment with the little witches, the banter, the looks, the texts fuck just everything.

Week ending: 14th February

And it's Valentine's Day! Will we celebrate with a love song? A flirty number? A tale of heartache and woe? Will we heck - it's a repeat of last week's charming nonsense.

Don't You Rock Me Daddy-O - The Vipers Skiffle Group (peaked at 10)

Well, this is the same song that Lonnie just did, apparently. I say "apparently", because apart from the lo-fi skiffle guitar, there's not actually much that the songs have in common. There's the title line, and the vague structure of a few lines, but the tune sounds very different, and the "story" (such that it is) has changed entirely. Instead of Lonnie and his brother going into town, it's now the singer and his wife, going into town to buy a ten-dollar gown. She tries on a few, gets the singer to buy her both, then walks off with another man, leaving the singer to proclaim that Gonna find a bar and get me drunk. Yikes.

Writing it out like that, it sounds like a much more coherent story, too, which kind of suggests to me that this might be the original version? Even the title line makes more sense, if the song's about a break-up. Of course, this, in turn, makes it a much more adult story, much messier - which absolutely fits the Vipers' delivery here, which has all the energy that Lonnie had, but a whole lot more rasp and growl to it. Where Lonnie sounded amiable and energetic, the Vipers sound rowdy and kind of angry.

We've still got a lot of the other things that I liked about Lonnie's version, from the speedy bass work, to the frantic drumming. And the repeated sail away, ladies, sail away works just as well as Lonnie's "sing away" to get your toe tapping. This, even more than Lonnie's, with its confusingly random lyrics, feels like the sort of song you could absolutely have fun singing and bopping along to half-drunk in a bar, you know?

It's fun to finally hear the Vipers. I'd heard their name a few times in my research, and I knew that they were the leading UK skiffle band at this point in the 1950s. They jammed with Tommy Steele, who we met a few weeks back, and they are generally supposed to have been fairly influential on the UK scene at this point. They had a contract with George Martin (of Beatles fame) and they briefly contained the Shadows, before their contract lapsed and they formed their own band in 1960s. So that's kind of cool.

They were also apparently in a bit of a competition with Lonnie Donegan, who kept covering their songs and doing better with them? Which is also the case with this song, apparently; the Vipers' version is the original - although it's based on a folk song called "Sail Away Ladies" - and Lonnie was basically just cashing in, but did better with it. Which is a shame, because I do like the rowdier swagger that this song brings to it.

This is not a song or an artists I would have ever discovered without this project, but I'm glad I listened to it. Skiffle in general is fascinating to me - a mostly forgotten Britich niche carved out of the ecosystem that was early rock and roll, full of chaotic energy, folk songs and fake American accents. It's a cool alternative to the high-production-value stuff that's coming out of the US, and it's also interesting to see figures getting involved in it who'll later be instrumental in the British Invasion and all sorts of other early 1960s music. This isn't the only or even the most significant influence for Merseybeat artists like the Beatles, but it's definitely an influence, and it's interesting to see that so soon.

Favourite song of the rowdy rowdy bunch: Don't You Rock Me, Daddy-O

ok partner talk about tiger and bunny

LMAO THANK YOU PARTNER!!!!! <3<3<3<3

ok here's the scene. this is sometime in the weird future. place is called sternbild city there's people w Superpowers called next and some of them work as heroes. but it's so funny and capitalist bc everything they do is aired on a tv show and they get points for all of their. heroic acts and by the end of the season whoever gets more point is king of heroes. and since they're on tv their hero costumes are Covered in logos for real And fake companies that sponsor them. hello

i didn't think i'd like it as much as i do w this ^ premise but it's actually not that important :) we are making friends and solving a murder, Actually. yippie. my brother pointed out to me something which is obvious that i care the most abt relationships and dynamics between characters and i love a package deal. so obviously something called tiger & bunny? the title alone implying Dynamic Duo Centric? of course i like it. irrelevant comment sorry. i really like it. like i'm gonna spoil Everything but pls consider watching it lmao it's really good :)

our main characters are the titular tiger and bunny as you can imagine,, real names kotetsu t. kaburagi and fuckin barnaby brooks jr. heroes usually keep their identity secret so kotetsu's Hero Name is wild tiger 🤢 he's so cringe but barnaby decided to not use a fake name. so kotetsu Immediately nicknames him bunny bc his hero suit has two long pink things by the sides of his head that look like bunny ears allegedly and because he's quick and jumpy and Cute like a bunny. bunny hates it. they have the same superpower called hundred power or smth in which for 5 minutes every hour their strength and whatnot becomes umm. Stronger. super strong. that's abt it tho everything else abt them Clashes there's a like 10ish years age gap bunny calls him Exclusively "old man" for the first like half of the season. and i feel normal abt it. in fact kotetsu even has a daughter and a dead wife he's so old. (he's 35 at the beginning of the show smh) while bunny's the newest hero hired so they get partnered by their boss. yk the veteran who's not doing Great w ratings bc he doesn't care abt the show and the points and the rookie who's cool and clever and everyone already likes him bc he's hot. alas they mandatory Don't Get Along. at first. for a bit. very normal people it's very refreshing to me after having my brain rotten by dazai and chuuya who are insane abt each other i must say they are just Normal Coworkers Who Slowly Become Friends

there's a whole Team that works w tv of heroes i like them soooo much most of them get a dedicated episode hdjdjgnand they're so Guys. Friends. my favorite is of course the one who never got his own episode aka a guy who's besties w kotetsu his name is fucking Antonio hello. antò. my other favorite for funny reasons is a 19yo schoolgirl karina who gets the biggest fucking crush on kotetsu it's SO FUNNYYYY he's nice to her bc she's a kid and he's a dad and he's always sweet w kids of course but she's like oh. i am now in love w you. and he does Not realize if anything for a second he thinks she has a crush on bunny so he keeps being nice to her and bunny at one point kinda gushes abt him to her and Convinces her it is a crush. i cannot get over this part. her last scene in s1 is her looking at a magazine called 100 ways to make a single father fall for you. ANYWAY then we have two other kids ivan & pao-lin that kotetsu uses dad powers upon to cheer them up when necessary and the top rated hero guy who just looks so usamerican Keith Goodman and has a dog named john and last but not least the diversity win queer black girlguy nathan who kicks so much ass. he has a bit of a crush on bunny and only calls him Handsome and there's a scene i love when he's teaming up w karina and pao-lin and he goes GIRLS NIGHT!!! and karina goes one of us doesn't quite fit but sure! and pao-lin goes I'M SORRY I'M A TOMBOY and karina goes I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT YOU and nathan goes YOU MEANT ME ?!?!?!?! CRIES SCREAMS THROWS UP

anyway the plot. the plot??? oh when the plot started chickening... oh i was so hooked. so bunny shows up and gets partnered w kotetsu. bunny becomes a hero bc his mom and dad got Murdered and he wants to Avenge them. that's kinda the overarching Thing we're dealing with. but let me try going over it episode per episode.

first few episodes are mostly Meeting Bunny. Being Forced To Work With Bunny As His Sidekick Or Else I'm Fired. We Keep Getting Into Trouble Bc We Don't Get Along And We're Not Working Well. ep 2 we get to see how kotetsu decided to become a hero (was saved as a kid by the old greatest hero and encouraged to use his powers for good) and also we see his daughter kaede and like. i guess it's sort of the episode where you see just how much of a good guy my MAN kotetsu is. the villain of the week is a bullied kid who's using his powers to fuck everything up and kotetsu Fathers him into behaving. bunny starts to be Huh abt him here bc he just thought kotetsu was some cringe old loser but apparently maybe there's more to him woagh!! ep 3 is when they kinda work well together for the first time. it's not GREAT yet but it's something. they find a bomb in a building and bunny can't manage to turn it off in time and kotetsu convinces him to fuckin Launch It In The Sky w their combined powers so at least when it blows up it doesn't destroy anything and it works! another W for kotetsu. ep 4 is abt karina trying to quit her hero job bc she actually wants to be a singer and kotetsu finds out and just encourages her to do what's best for her. she is now down bad for him and goes back to working as a hero. i'm making this sound silly but imagine that it is actually really nice & sweet

episode 5 is WHERE WE REALLY GET THIS BREAD I THINK it's bunny's bday and he's being grumpy and kotetsu wants to cheer him up by throwing him a nice surprise party. he is so fucking sweet i hate him. he sets up this Act w the other heroes where they pretend to be criminals and ambush bunny & kotetsu and then just kinda yell Sike! ig but ofc it goes Wrong bunny refuses to meet up w kotetsu gndndkakjfnw he is So Funny and then there's Real Criminals, Actually and kotetsu & bunny defeat them w the power of friendship. bunny's like mad at him bc he keeps sticking his nose in other people's business but as he walks off w the criminals a guy asks him why's he smiling to which he obv says HE IS NOT SMILING BUT HE IS SMILING KOTETSU MADE HIM SMILE ANOTHER WIN FOR MR DILF

ep 6 the plot finally chickens. we learn abt bunny's parents and his only lead being an ouroboros tattoo he saw on the killer's hand. at the same time their coworker nathan is being suspected of murder ?!?!?! bc someone w fire powers similar to his has been fucking around. turns out it's the same guy who planted the bomb a few eps ago and he Also has the ouroboros tattoo but before bunny can ask him abt it a New Character fuckin Kills The Guy. it's a next w fire powers calls himself Lunatic and he's just. killing criminals. spoiler but this man is like a judge or smth and that's why he knows criminals. also spoiler but he's the son of the Iconic Hero who inspired kotetsu when he was little and he Killed Said Iconic Hero for being an abusive husband & father once his powers started fading. i like this guy i get the feeling we'll see more of him in the movies and or s2 i'm ready. lunatic has his lil Arc where people start doubting heroes so they start doing lil charity work and whatnot to get The People back on board. kotetsu bunny & ivan go to some hero school (this is ivan's episode and kotetsu Fathers him) next episode instead is for pao-lin and GOD I LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH kotetsu is Urgently called to work only to find out he's being given babysitter duty for the day YOU KNOW BECAUSE HE HAS A DAUGHTER 🤤 sorry what. so he has to babysit the mayor's baby who's a next and he imprints on pao-lin so kotetsu gets the baby And Her and takes them to bunny's house ?? and instead of babysitting him and bunny chat abt ouroboros and get drunk and pass out. they are bonding. in the meanwhile pao-lin & the baby get kidnapped Lmao kotetsu & bunny get them back and in the process bunny has a Flashback and finally remembers what his parents' murderer looks like

ep 10 the plot REALLY chickens again. the guy who killed bunny's parents (jake) gets out of jail and him + the ouroboros Criminal Organization Situation take the whole city hostage and threaten to Destroy it. the gang does some snoopin to find the hideout and bunny & kotetsu fight bc kotetsu. as established. cannot mind his own business and his efforts to help usually result in Messing Up and bunny whines abt trust. everything kinda peaks into jake challenging every hero to a 1v1 fight and if any one of them wins he'll leave the city alone. if he wins welllll everyone's dying ofc. it's not looking up bc jake has two (2) powers one of which (mind reading) is secret so it's fuckin. impossible to beat him when he can hear your thoughts right. kotetsu eats absolute shit and bunny's up after him but he figures out the mind reading thing bc he is So Smart And Cool, Actually and tries to give bunny some assist by Lying. tells him jake's got Super Hearing. bc ofc if bunny knows abt the mind reading jake can just plan around it. bunny's pissy like ough that is so stupid but kotetsu's like well i know but i trusted you to trust me and it worked 😌 and bunny's like OH??? TRUST???? WE TRUST EACH OTHER and he CALLS HIM BY NAME FOR THE FIRST TIME up until now he'd either only called him tiger (hero name) or old man (10 years age gap) AND NOW HE CALLS HIM KOTETSU AND MY MANS IS SOOOO HAPPY also jake dies. this is how the first half of s1 ends :)

second half starts after a 10 months timeskip. tiger & bunny are now super popular as a team and they're super besties and hang out together all the time and i love them. karina is Jealous. she's assigned to work w kotetsu and bunny for like a fucking concert sjfjakjf she has to teach them how to sing and dance 😭😭😭 why would you force her to thirdwheel like this it's so evil. she Really likes kotetsu and ofc he is Father so he does Not realize. he asks her if she's free tonight and she's like YES OF COURSE but he only wants to train more so he's better at the dance than bunny and she's MAD that he's thinking abt WORK AND BUNNY SHE THOT THIS WAS A DATE and he's like WHY ARE YOU MAD AT ME IS YOUR BOYFRIEND JEALOUS THAT YOU'RE HANGING OUT W AN OLD GUY??? and she's like I DON'T HAVE A BOYFRIEND!!! and he's like DON'T WORRY YOU'RE SO COOL AND PRETTY YOU'LL FIND ONE FOR SURE!!!! and she's like I NEED HIM DESPERATELY this is also the episode where bunny tells her OHHH MY PARTNER KOTETSU HE IS SO SELFLESS AND KIND AND WONDERFUL and she's like DAMN I WONT HIM!!! fucking GREAT STUFF. secondhand embarrassment THRU THE ROOF. also kotetsu's powers are acting funny as in they're stronger than usual but instead of lasting 5 minutes the time's getting shorter. uh oh

next episode keith's mopey bc bunny's now the number one hero and he gets a crush on a girl who's an android (he never realizes) (he destroys her and doesn't realize it was her) while kotetsu finds out his powers are fading and will eventually Vanish Completely. 👍 ep 17 he takes a break from work to go back to his hometown to visit his family his mom and brother and kaede his daughter who lives w them. his relationship w kaede's a bit Strained she thinks he's lame (she doesn't know what his job is) and she's mad at him for never being home w her. she also has a Huge crush on bunny and his posters hanging on the walls. really embarrassing. she gets stuck in a storm and kotetsu saves her and she softens + finds out she's ALSO a next and her powers are insane so all things considered. since his own powers are fading. kotetsu decides to retire from being a hero and go back home to raise his daughter. ARGH

next ep bunny finds out it wasn't jake who killed his parents after all. he Spirals and decides maybe he can't keep being a hero which leaves kotetsu Floored bc they can't both fuckin quit at the same time and he wants to help bunny before he leaves so he postpones it and kaede is Saaaad at him and i'm thinking why are you still keeping the secret. just tell her you're the guy who works w barnaby brooks jr and she'll forgive your every crime??? stoopid ass. anyway. bunny hears kotetsu talk to his family on the phone and finds out he wants to quit too. they get in a fight (bunny has a Thing w trust ig) (really funny if you know what's coming) so he runs to this fuckin Guy called maverick to Confide. maverick is 1. the guy who runs the tv show heroes work for and 2. a friend of bunny's parents' who kinda took care of him after they died. bunny tells him he knows jake's not the Murderer and maverick gets Suspicious. then bunny's old nanny samantha calls him bc she found a pic from the day bunny's parents died (the way bunny remembers it he spent that day w maverick but this pic proves he actually spent it w Her which leaves maverick without an alibi) so every piece falls into place and we realize IT WAS MAVERICK ALL ALOOOONG he was WORKING W CRIMINALS TO STAGE ARRESTS FOR HIS TV SHOW WHAT!!! but he's a next w the power to fuck around w your memories so he Wipes bunny's memories as soon as he realizes. uh oh

kotetsu's close to figuring everything out. somehow. the thing abt him is that he's an idiot but when he gets clever Oh is he clever. so after a failed attempt at wiping kotetsu's memories maverick changes plan he Kills samantha then wipes kotetsu from the Team's memories and Frames Him For Murder. really funny. kaede sees this on the news and Runs Away From Home to get to sternbild city and help her dad (grandma has finally told her that kotetsu's the hero wild tiger gasp!!) also her powers involve copying Anyone's Powers as long as she touches them. this will save the day bc she bumps into maverick and is therefore able to give everyone their memories of kotetsu back yippie EXCEPT BUNNY BC HE WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE so kotetsu has to deal w him on his own

so he fuckin takes bunny on this nostalgic walk around places where they first met to try and get him to remember him ARGH and bunny just wants to fuckin Kill him and kotetsu CRIES as he tells him he found him so annoying but the more he got to know him the more he realized they were MEANT to be together and he calls him LITTLE BUNNY and that's what fuckin jogs bunny's memory finally fuck OFFFF "OH THAT'S MY BUNNY" FUCK OFF KOTETSU anyway. GOD. they are BACK together everyone is KIDNAPPED maverick has teamed up w THE GUY WHO BUILT THE ANDROID GIRL THAT KEITH HAD A CRUSH ON??? their plan is to. replace the heroes w androids for SOME reason. everyone has bombs on their necks and kaede is going thru it too and if tiger & bunny don't beat this android everyone's dead. the stakes are umm significantly high ig. kaede frees herself and the othet heroes just as bunny & kotetsu finally get the chance to kill the android. as in kotetsu holds it still while bunny Shoots it w its own gun. kotetsu swears he'll dodge the hit before it's too late but he Doesn't and he gets hit and he fuckin. dies. like he doesn't die i knew in my heart he'd make it but for a minute he dies and i CRIED I DID

bunny holds him in his arms kotetsu tells him he doesn't think he's gonna make it but it's ok bc this past year of chasing bad guys w him? he loved every minute of it. in fact when bunny finally started calling him kotetsu he was so happy he went on an all night bender alone to celebrate. bunny tells him he can't die bc he's been learning how to cook him his favorite food and he has to try it GOD FUCK OFFF and he holds him close and kotetsu goes Wow you're so close. do you know you have really long eyelashes. AND HE DIES???? THAT'S YOUR LAST WORDS????? MY FUCKING GOD!!!! AND KAEDE WALKS IN AND SEES THEM LIKE THAT BUNNY CRYING OVER HER DEAD FATHER AND SHE CRIES AND THE HEROES GET THERE AND EVERYONE CRIES AND I WAS CRYING IT WAS BAAAAD

I ALSO WANNA MENTION after the end credits song there's a little In The Next Episode moment where either kotetsu or bunny introduce themselves (HI I'M TIGER/BUNNY THE MEMBER OF TIGER AND BUNNY WHO [insert fun fact abt themselves]) BUT IN THIS EPISODE IT'S JUST. SAD MUSIC AND BUNNY'S SAD VOICE SAYING SOMETHING LIKE in the next episode.... SADLY WHERE USUALLY HE ENDS IT WITH SEE YA!!! IT FUCKING GOT TO ME. REALLY BAD

so anyway. ofc the day is actually saved bc behind the scenes the girlie who runs the show and the guy who builds hero suits also get their memories back and work to Stop maverick's plans and actually broadcast the whole Situation on tv so maverick can't make it out. he tries to kill kaede and KOTETSU FUCKING GETS BACK UP IT'S KINDA SCARY BUT HE SAVES HIS LIL GIRL and maverick fuckin WIPES HIS OWN MEMORIES SO EVEN IF THEY CATCH HIM THEY CAN'T GET ANYTHING OUT OF HIM IT'S KINDA SICK!!!!! but hey remember lunatic. he Kills maverick anyway. bunny's upset bc it means every chance of learning abt ouroboros is Gone but IDC I'M SORRY I'M JUST HAPPY HE'S DEAD BOOOO so now that everything's chill both bunny and kotetsu announce they're retiring. how sweet. kotetsu's reasons we already know but bunny says he's been manipulated by maverick his whole life even becoming a hero was part of his plan so now he just wants to live for himself :-) it's all bullshit bc a year later kotetsu comes Back to work even tho his power only lasts one (1) fuckin minute bc kaede told him he was boring at home. and since his partner's back Well. bunny goes back to work too. their last scene together mirrors their first scene together - kotetsu Falling from somewhere like the idiot he is and bunny catching him bridal style at the last minute. they chat some shit and they're like well OLD MAN let's get to work. i'm with ya LITTLE BUNNY and that's IT???? THANK GOD THERE'S MORE BC THAT CANNOT BE THE LAST THING I HEAR THEM SAY IT'S DISGUSTING

so. yea i really like it i think it's great. it's so chill and normal despite the Hero bullshit. it feels idk,,, so genuine and down to earth and fun... the vibes reminded me so much of sk8. the chemistry between every character is so nice. it's almost perfect. i like the artstyle well enough (i wasn't too sure at first) i love a colored lineart :^) and i was sorta ready to be down bad for kotetsu lmao but he is SO SWEET ACTUALLY I LIKE HIM SO MUCH MORE THAN I THOUGHT??? BLORBO 100% I LOVE HIM i'm SO excited to watch more i like it so much. it might be one of my favorite animes i've watched? or is it just fresh. idk but i really. really do love it please. give it a shot even tho i just spoiled the whole thing xx it's really good
