[hypnzo]

Unspoken feeling; I miss you.

Isagi x Reader : !! Fluff !! English is not my first language !! Possible mischaracterization !!

Isagi has been a friend of yours since the very first week of highschool. It was tough and maybe just a bit rough around the edges—after all, highschool can be overwhelming, especially if you have no clue on what you're doing. Nonetheless, Isagi was there to help soften out your nerves whenever you're feeling anxious about something. Whether it was exam weeks or when you dozed off out of exhaustion and completely forgot to do the homework that was assigned yesterday.

No denying it, Isagi was a soccer enthusiast, his driven passion towards the sport can be a bit contagious from time to time. Isagi offered to teach you some basics, but.. you refused, trying to save yourself from the embarrassment. Isagi was a bit disappointed but he didn't let it linger for long.

Whenever you're not overly piled up with school work, you'd be around the audience surrounding the field, blending in as you watch Isagi dribble his way through his opponents, striking out a point as his teammates jumped him in support for scoring a point in for the team. The smile that beamed on his face was unmistakable every time he spots you in the crowd, never failing to give you a wave.

Though ever since that finals, where he instinctively passed the ball to his teammate, it... unfortunately, resulted in a loss. Isagi was pretty bummed out, especially since they were so close to winning. You tried your best to comfort Isagi, even if you weren't exactly the best with comforting people when it came to sports, but you knew this was his passion and so you tried your best to be there for him.

“Thanks for being here,” Isagi sighed, sniffling his words though no tears were visible, but his disappointment was very clear. “I just wished I never passed the ball. We were so close to the win, I wonder what would've changed if I just decided to shoot it instead and be selfish,” Isagi's words poured out before he closed his eyes and just sighed. “Sorry about that. I just.. got frustrated. I should be heading back home now.” Before he could fully turn around, he stopped for a second after realizing the time, “..Uh, would you wish for me to accompany you on the way, or..?”

“It's no problem. I can handle myself. Still though,” giving him a pat on the back, a small, thankful smile creeped through the corner of his lips, “I'm still proud of you, okay? Anyway, yeah.. you should go get back home. I can go on my own.” Isagi smiled, quietly muttering out a small "Thank you" but it was hearable enough for me to crack out a smile. “Goodbye.”

It's been months since I saw Isagi. I should've known that that would've been our final goodbye. I wish I asked him to stay just a bit longer. As much as I hate to admit it, I miss him. I miss the way he laughs and the way his smile reached those blue eyes of his.

With a sigh, I sat on the couch, turning on the TV, I wasn't expecting much since it was probably just gonna be some repeated news from yesterday... Well, as I watched, my hand pressed the remote by accident. I didn't mean to skip the channel, but I was stunned in my seat.

The sports channel.. Isagi? Is that him? Well.. there's really no mistaking that blue-haired color of his and that hairstyle? That was just so Isagi. But where has he gone to? You're telling me he's been gone for months, hasn't attended school, and.. now you're saying apparently he's now on TV? Fulfilling his dreams? ...Well, not that I'd get ahold of that, I'm still hella proud of him, but that doesn't mask out my confusion as to where he has gone to. Surely if he was a star he would've dropped out by now, right? Would he..? I mean...

At least he's alive.

Watching the game, you were a bit surprised by the thrill and anxiety you're feeling through out the game. Whenever his team got ahold of the ball, you can't help but silently cheer for them inside your head. You couldn't help but jump out of the seat after Isagi managed to break the tie just before the timer runs out, marking a winning place on their record against Japan!

You decided to chat him hours after the match ended. You readback through your chats together, and well.. It felt like you've been ghosted, but you decided to shoot your shot anyway congratulating as you silently crossed your finger together, hoping he'd respond, cause.. it'd be really awkward if he just leaves you on delievered...

“Hey Isagi, I saw your match earlier against Japan! Congratulations!! Proud of youu like alwayss” a chat popped up and rang on his phone. It has been forever since he's gotten contact with others.. Blue lock was.. hell, at best, but at least they've got their break! The moment he got back his phones, your chats were immediately the ones he noticed, panicking as he typed, realizing he completely forgot to tell you all about it! “Hey!! thank you! im so sorry for leaving you without an explanation. i completely forgot to tell you all about it!!”

“I'm back now and i wont go back soon. Maybe we could meet up? sorry again!” You received the message without fail, feeling relieved that at least he was aware, apologized, and.. well, alive.

Remembering that one ice cream stand you both often went to after school dismissal, you planned on maybe going there with him. Could there be a better place? Definitely. Did you even have enough money to go there? ...Not really. It's really not like you have any allowances left after every commute on the way, and.. greeting a friend you haven't seen in months in an ice cream stand nearby your school wasn't exactly the best place to do that, but hey! It counts! Plus, it's not like Isagi is all that picky anyway...

“Sure, do you mind meeting up with that one ice cream stand? The one that we always go to every school dismissal?” Honestly, you couldn't help but wonder if he still even remembers it. How many months have passed by, anyway? Surely wherever he went through wouldn't affect his memories like that, would it?

“Sure alright :) lets go there” you couldn't help but feel giddy as you read his reply. It was a short text yet it was still very him. At least he didn't seem to change despite all those months.

Isagi waved a hand, the one you always remember whenever he'd see you anywhere on campus. Whether that'd be you watching his game, school dismissal, or when you both pass by each other in the hallway. Perhaps it could've been those months you've been missing him, but you couldn't help but just hug him—you didn't mean for it to be emotional, yet here we are.

Isagi was a bit startled when he felt your hands envelop him, he hesitantly wrapped his arms around you, but slowly melted into it. “Hello, I'm.. uh, sorry again for.. forgetting to inform you," he says as you both pulled away from the embrace.

“It's alright. I mean, I was a bit worried, but you know.. you're back, you still know me, so.. I'm not entirely mad,” you say, hinting out a light-hearted tone to ease up the emotional tension that you accidentally brought into the hug.

Isagi smiled and chuckled as you both walked beside each other, shoulders touching, the air was light and it felt nice to feel his presence beside you. It gave off the very same comfort of your first meeting—the one that soothed your nerves and your anxiousness whenever things get a bit stressful.

Chattering out some laughters and stories, Isagi couldn't help but smile whenever he looks at them. He's been gone for months and while that probably wasn't all that long for some people, to him? It was. It felt longer than expected, he couldn't scratch away the feeling if time just slowed down during his time in Blue Lock or if it was because time just seems to tick slower to bore him out due to the lack of presence of his.. “friend”.

As they ordered some ice creams, Isagi couldn't help but get his heart to admit how much he missed this. He missed them. A lot. It wasn't just this whole ice cream thing, it was them—it wouldn't feel the same if they weren't here. Isagi quirks up a smile, feeling giddy, as he listened to them ramble about everything he's missed—not that he'd cared, after all, the very thing he missed the most was already in front of him, so he couldn't really care less about anything else. But if it meant getting to hear their voice and thoughts? He all in for it.

As the hours go by, they both take a stroll under the lowering sun as the stars slowly start to appear in the orange hue sky. Both may have realized, but neither of them would mention the way their pinky intertwined with each other...

“I missed you.”

“I missed you, too.”

EDIT: Added some close up shots, thought it might behoove me to zoom in a little.

Here's that big thing I've been working on! This is for the Paper Mario Zine, organized by @dooplissss, which you can download here!!! It's pay-what-you-want, proceeds go to Doctors Without Borders.

I had already been working on something like this for a while and I'm really proud of myself for finishing this on time. I had fun the entire time I was working on this and I learned a lot.

I do have four more (smaller) pieces in this zine, which I won't post until after the game comes out, so if you wanna see them early, go download this thang.

Does Hyrule mind teaching how to assess a patient??👉👈

"You... want to learn how to assess patients?" Hyrule asked hesitantly.

Wild shrugged. "What if I want to be an EMT?"

"You also said you wanted to be a chef in the hospital."

"I can do both, you know."

Hyrule laughed. "I suppose so. Well... we'll need a patient for this to work."

Wild immediately snatched Sky, who yelped as his friend snaked a hand around his wrist. "Sky's the patient, heaven knows he needs to be looked over anyway."

"Look who's talking, Mr. I-Have-Seizures-and-Don't-Tell-Anybody," Sky grumbled as he was manhandled to sit between the other two.

"Well, everyone knows now."

Hyrule and Sky gave Wild a scalding look. Adequately apologetic, Wild shrugged sheepishly.

"Anyway," Hyrule sighed, shifting his focus to Sky. "Assessments come in different forms. You've got a primary and a secondary assessment. Primary is kind of a general overview and checking for life threatening stuff, secondary is in-depth on what the issue actually is. Make sense?"

Wild nodded.

"Great!" Hyrule continued with a smile. "Okay. Sky's our patient. Sky, you got shot once, right?"

Sky nodded, and Wild balked. "He what?!"

"It was a long time ago," Sky waved a dismissive hand.

"Okay, so that's our scenario," Hyrule said, standing. "We're dispatched for a 21-year-old male with a GSW--"

"That means gunshot wound, right?"

"Yeah. GSW, conscious patient. That's all we've got. So, you get on scene, and the very first thing you do is check for scene safety. If the scene isn't safe, we're not going in. First thing you're taught in EMS - your own safety comes first, because if you're shot you can't help the patient. It's you, your partner, then the patient."

"How often do you actually listen to that rule?" Sky asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's not what we're learning today," Hyrule waved off easily. It was pretty common knowledge that while he would never put his partner's life at risk, he'd gotten himself into dicey situations before. But he knew how to get himself out of those situations too. "So, we determine the scene is safe. Next, is our primary assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to check for life threatening things, and an overview of major body systems. Neuro status, bleeding, and your ABCs: Airway, Breathing, Circulation.

"The situation is pretty dynamic, like sometimes you walk up and somebody's got an arterial bleed and spurting blood everywhere, your assessment stops right there and you go fix that bleed. But generally you'll have time to do the entire primary assessment."

"Okay, so neuro and ABCs?"

"Yeah. And the good thing is that most of it happens all at once, you know? You walk up to Sky and he looks at you, then boom, you've got a good neuro - he's awake, he's alert. He may not be oriented, but you can figure that out by just talking to him. And by this point you can tell if there's life threatening bleeding. Then it's ABCs - is his airway patent, or open? Is he breathing, and is he doing so normally? Is his skin warm, dry, and normal tone for him? You can literally do al these things by just walking into the room and looking at him for five seconds. The primary assessment is done really fast and, the more times you do it, basically automatically."

"What would be an example of something being wrong?" Wild askd.

Hyrule glanced at him. "When I got on scene for your crash, you were unconscious and unresponsive--in other words, you were not only unconscious, but nothing would wake you up--and your breathing was gurgling sounding because you had blood in your airway."

Glancing at Sky, Hyrule said, "Sky can give us an example of a not great primary assessment, I'm sure."

Helpfully, Sky immediately flopped off the chair he was sitting on, collapsing to the ground with a crash. Wild laughed, and footsteps rushed from upstairs into the living room.

Twilight immediately froze in the entranceway, eyes wide and fixed on Sky. "Sky, what the--guys what the hell is hap--"

Sky perked up immediately. "Oh, sorry! I'm just helping Hyrule teach Wild!"

Twilight froze a moment and then sighed heavily, pinching the bridge of his nose and grumbling under his breath.

Hyrule smiled, pointing at Twilight. "He just perfectly showed a good primary assessment looks like! He walked in and saw the patient down on the ground, tried to figure out a neuro by calling out to him, and when Sky woke up he immediately could tell he was fine. Neuro intact, not bleeding, had a patent airway because he's talking, breathing normally, and skin looks normal."

"I hate all of you," Twilight groaned, walking out of the room.

"Okay, but by skin looking normal... what does it mean when it doesn't?" Wild asked.

"Your skin can tell a story," Hyrule explained. "If you're diaphoretic, which means sweating, something is likely wrong. Though it depends on context - if your patient's sweaty but they were just exercising, it makes sense. If Sky's sweaty on the ground after being shot, he's in shock. If the skin is cool, the body isn't circulating well - that can sap the color right out of your skin - the lighter your skin tone the more notable it is, but darker skin tones can become paler too. A lot of times with darker skin tones you'll want to look at their palms or their lips, that'll help you determine it. Another color is grey - that usually means cardiac and it's bad. So skin can tell you a lot!"

"How did my skin look?" Wild questioned, curious.

"Pale," Hyrule immediately answered. "Anyway. Sky's your patient. Look him over."

"Okay," Wild blew out a breath, approaching Sky and kneeling beside him. "So he's unconscious, that's my neuro so far."

"Can you arouse him at all?"

Wild poked Sky in the neck. Sky flinched. Wild poked again and Sky giggled. Wild's eyes widened in realization, and a mischievous smile crossed his face.

"Wild, wait--"

Sky started laughing hysterically as his friend tickled him, wiggling and trying to shove him away.

"Get--off of m--Wild you jerk--"

Hyrule chuckled. "Well, we're not taught to tickle our patients, but that works."

Compiling all of the canon evidence about Caleb because I noticed sources are getting muddled. Below the cut is all the canon info I could find with the episodes and who said it/ where it came from.

Caleb was alone as a child raising his little brother, at some point they moved from an unknown location to Gravesfield (Masha, TTT). The two of them played a witch hunter game where they dressed up in costumes. We see Caleb playing a witch, stepping in a trap Philip set. They also churned butter together and Caleb whittled Philip's mask in Gravesfield. (Portraits, Hollow Mind) Caleb met Evelyn at an unknown point, and bonded over birds, where she was disguised as a human. (Dana Terrace) Later, as a teen, Caleb and still child Philip went on a witch hunt. They found Evelyn in the woods (may or may not be related to witch hunt) and discovered she was a witch. Caleb was accepting of her and the duo began traveling back and forth between Gravesfield and the Boiling Isles, developing a secret code to travel, leaving Philip behind from his perspective. (Portraits/ cut portrait, Hollow Mind. Masha, TTT). As an adult, Caleb cut his hair. (Statue, Yesterday's Lie) At an unknown time, he acquired the cabin near the Noceda house. He had his (implied in KT/TTT) blue coat embroidered with the symbol of a bird in a cage, and this coat became Philip's at an unknown point in time. (King's Tide/TTT) Caleb or Evelyn also hid the Rebus Box under the floorboards and created said Rebus and hid the Titan's blood near the portal with an owl stopper. (TTT) At some point, as Caleb and Philip were adults, a fire started at the current day historical society and Caleb + Evelyn vanished. Philip followed after, leaving a diary behind which was used to understand the situation by the townspeople (Jacob, Yesterday's Lie. Masha, Storyboard for TTT, considering canon as complacent). Philip states that it takes him five years to find the Titan's blood and in the image he is growing a beard (Eclipse Lake). He has a medium length beard when he confronts Caleb and Evelyn first in his beast form, transforming back when Caleb hugs him. At this point, Evelyn is pregnant with a child and she and Caleb are holding hands. A later shot shows Philip holding a knife behind his back as Caleb smiles and Evelyn is turned away. Philip is wearing the blue coat. At a later point, Caleb has his hands up, holding a flat edged knife looking worried as Philip walks to the right. Caleb is on the ground with flames around him, and those flames die down as he dies. Philip sees himself in the reflection of the dagger with blood on it. Evelyn returns and uses a gold magic, hitting Philip as he runs away. (Portraits, Hollow Mind) At an unknown point, Philip obtains Caleb's remains and begins several failed grimwalker experiments until the episode Elsewhere and Elsewhen where he meets the Collector.

Missing/fragment evidence: Philip and Caleb are missing information for most of their adulthood, and Evelyn has extremely scare information. A mural in Belos's castle representing wild witches burning a town resembles Eda with short hair in a green dress and a blonde witch with rounder ears, likely Evelyn and her daughter. (Watching and Dreaming) The blue coat has never been proven to belong to Caleb, other than Masha using a similar blue coat in TTT and Belos's sensitivity to the coat being mentioned/ him always wearing it. There is no canon explanation as to how Caleb ended up alone with Philip, where their parents are, or how they got the cabin. It is unknown if Philip confronting Caleb in his beast form and Caleb's murder happened at the same time or on different days, or where Flapjack or Evelyn is for the murder (although she returns from the right, the same direction Philip was facing with the knife) (Hollow Mind). Flapjack has limited information but is likely Evelyn's bird (Dana Terrace). Caleb was a whittler and may have carved Palismen, as that later becomes the family business of the Clawthornes, and Evelyn is a Clawthorne. However this isn't provably canon.

FINAL FANTASY IV BEST FINAL FANTASY!!!!!!

Tbh I don't even remember why I bought IV on the GBA over V (I LOOOOVE EXDEATH) but I made it to the part where you meet Sage Tellah in the cave and stopped in that safe room right before the boss fight in the cave. The plot has me really interested in where it's gonna go though; having the protagonist slaughter like two entire villages back to back right at the start of the game is a WILD hook lol

I also appreciate getting to play an adult that's fully aware of what's going on in a FF game for once haha Though, I've beat 7 and 8, most of 10, and played only a bit of 9, 10-2, 5, and 15 so I know 4 isn't the only FF that doesn't have a young/naive protag.

Cecil looks cool affff

hell yeah
