satisfied - sakusa k. - Prologue

May 5, 2014 ~ 800 words

m.list

For as long as she could remember, yn had the privilege of Sakusa Kiyoomi's presence in her life. In the beginning, he was just a subtle light that would creep in through the blinds of her heart, but day by day, his light would eventually envelop her being in a soft, yet persistent warmth, and their souls would intertwine into a beautiful knot of friendship.

Everyone has their special person, their other half that complements them in every way. Someone who can tell how you feel without a second glance, someone who can soften your heart when times are tough, and bring out the best of you, all while simultaneously healing the wounds that you didn't even know you had. Sakusa had always been her special person, and she liked to hold onto the greedy feeling that perhaps, she was his.

For the majority of it's existence, their relationship was that of best friends, and neither questioned or addressed it, because, what was the point? When they were kids, anyone could tell that the pair were inseparable. But as people grow up, the concept of two people of the opposite gender being "just friends" becomes more and more unfeasible. In highschool, their classmates didn't ignore the gentle privilege that only yn recieved from the moody spiker.

"Yn, aren't you gonna confront that new girl? Its embarrassing how hard she's tryna get with Sakusa.."

"Why would I care if she wants to date him? They'd make a cute couple honestly 🤔"

"so you're telling me there's seriously nothing going on between you guys?? You're joking right..? I've known Sakusa for 2 years and the only times I've seen him smile are when he's with you, AND TRUST ME, MY INSTINCTS ARE TELLING ME ITS LOVE. 😏"

"I mean.. I've never really thought about it that way before, but I'm sure it's just because we've known eachother so long 😭"

"you're stronger than I could ever be yn, you have this total hottie at your beck and call and you don't like him a little bit?? 😔"

Conversations about their relationship were frequent, and they only grew day by day. At first, Yn was annoyed. Sakusa was her best friend, and it felt like people were insulting their decade long friendship. But as the conversations only dragged on, she started to tolerate them, and then, she started to listen. It was undoubtedly true that Sakusa treated her differently from everybody else, and it was also true that he was indeed very handsome. She never noticed it growing up, but his curly locks framed his face in the perfect way, and his eyes had a special charm to them that fit his chiseled features. Not to mention, the moles adourning his face only added to his beauty. It wasn't long until she realized her feelings. That what she thought was platonic was actually much more complex.

Her friends and peers would only feed her delusions, and eventually, she started to act differently around him, hoping he'd maybe take the hint, confess his undying love for her, and then make a dashing proposal asking her to be his girlfriend. The changes were subtle, she would start wearing makeup around him, be just a tad bit more touchy, and of course bring up romance every so often.

But even if the changes were subtle, of course her best friend would immediately notice them. And of course, he would react, right? But, he didn't? And maybe that was the first sign that something was off. He never gave her any hints back of the possibility of liking her. And eventually, she could tell her efforts were in vain, because the comfort they typically had was gone. An outsider wouldnt have noticed anything, but she knew. There was an uncertainess in his smile, and his voice and touch wavered. She had been wondering when he would recognize her efforts, until she realized. She finally figured out the quintessential fact that shattered her world. The eyes he gave her were special, but they were always set for something else. Sure, he was different with her, but with volleyball, he shown the brightest, and she knew her presence could never give him what volleyball gave him.

He knew of her feelings, but he would never like her back.

It was a simple, yet obvious conclusion. She had been making a fool of herself, how could she call herself his bestfriend if she couldnt even notice how he felt about her? They were strictly platonic, nothing else. In a fit of embarrassment, the extra attention she gave him vanished quickly, and were replaced with larger walls intended to protect him from her evergrowing feelings. And as they grew up, these childish feelings of hers only grew, but as they increased she would only get better at hiding them. Because, it didn't matter if he would never like her back, as long as she had him in her life, she would be satisfied.

Phil and bagi hcs?

YOU HAVE JUST ENABLED A MONSTER.

I AM SO ABNORMAL ABOUT THESE TWO.

Also these will apply to AMFMN!! Because SURPRISE, if no one has checked the fic tags, her name is listed as a main character. ;) She'll be arriving in Chapter 6!! :D

I cannot fucking WAIT to expand upon their dynamic, which is funny because by the time Bagi shows up, Phil is possessed so it won't be exploration through direct interactions until the recovery period waaay later in the fic. Nonetheless it'll be hype! :D

qPhil headcanons masterlist

Phil is a member of the "Bagi can do whatever she wants forever" club. He supports her rights and wrongs and fully believes she could kick his ass no matter how unbalanced of a fight it'd be in his favor (disclaimer I don't actually know Bagi's exact pvp skill level 🤔)

Bagi is a member of the "God I want Phil to take me on a flight some day, I am so sad his wings are fucked up" club. (She would probably be terrified /pos)

I don't know what it is about their friendship but I feel like Bagi is so much more attuned to the way Phil thinks than the average islander. I guess I'd say it's because of how perceptive she is in general, especially with how she's a detective? Whatever it is, Bagi just has this talent for reading Phil like a damn book. And she won't hesitate to call him on his bullshit either. She's much like Fit in that regard. Crow man can't hide SHIT

Like fr if Phil ever gave Bagi reason to be concerned the first thing she'd do is start cornering those closest to him and either ask what's up or be like "hey Phil's on some shit rn, we gotta go force him to confess whatever stupid shit he's shouldering on his own and bottling up"

Phil has definitely been whacked with the frying pan for not venting and acting like he has to brave the horrors alone btw. Bagi's the type of friend that'll kick your fucking ass if you're not self-caring or being mean to yourself. (I am projecting LMAO)

Bagi isn't as Holy Shit We Could Die Any Second about things as Phil, but they're both very protective people, which can manifest in very volatile ways when they're hurt or angered by something (ie: Feds). I would not want to experience their individual wraths simultaneously.

Bagi is one of the top people Phil shows his gift giving love language to. Be it resources she needs, pictures he's taken of her/Em/Tina or of weird island shit, the means to complete cookie tasks, etc. She's one of the first in mind.

GOD Phil wants her to teach him how to wield a frying pan so badly. He's an excellent swordsman and bowman, but PAN?? The enjoyment he'd get out of it would be infinite, he'd love to be kicking ass while getting a laugh out of it bc pan go BONG when it hits a motherfucker.

If one needs something the other says yes no hesitation. They might ask each other a couple questions, but as soon as they have 100% clarity, they trust each other with the rest and know that if something goes wrong, whoever is present at the time will unleash hell on the person or monster that caused it.

I've somewhat already hinted at it but GOD the mutual admiration they have for each other!! Their wits and way with words, their natural sense of leadership, their determination to defend what they believe in, what they think is right, and the people they love, their specific expertise, the list goes on. They just think the other is so fucking cool and brilliant.

Tbh I think in the right circumstances they'd teach each other some lowkey fucked up tricks they have up their sleeves. Like Bagi giving Phil insight on manipulating people into giving the answers you're looking for by asking the right carefully worded questions, or Phil teaching Bagi the best spots to hit/hurt a person/mob to really do some damage just purely as a "hey if you ever find yourself in a Situation, here's a tip" thing

I don't know how better to show this without explicitly saying it: These two are not the other's fucking caretaker. Phil is not Bagi's father figure and Bagi is not Phil's mother figure. Yes, they can scold each other when the other is doing something dumb (cough, 7 hcs ago, cough). Friends do that. They support each other and call each other on their bs. That is not parenting, that's being a good friend. And they are to each other.

On that note, it hasn't come up too much yet but when shit sucks (like when the eggs were lost or lost lives), they're good at distracting each other. But like without halting the process of dealing with their emotions. If they're sad, they'll be sad together, but they're good at picking the right conversation topics to lighten the mood. If they're mad, they'll be mad together, and they'll plan what to do about it with each other.

I think I've sorta demonstrated it well enough in a couple of these hcs already but AUGH, they're just. So on the same page with each other almost all the time. And when they aren't, they're so good at giving each other perspectives they didn't think of before. Which, I don't mean to compare Bagi to her brother here, but is also how Phil and Cellbit can be with each other too; though they've somewhat fallen out of that sync post-Purgatory. The way the Mystery Siblings are so on the same wavelength as Phil makes me so *slams fist on desk*

Phil is normally a very Just Vibin' kinda guy but Bagi can get him into some really deep intellectual conversations sometimes and it's so 🍿🍿🍿 to watch

Hi! I read your last fic with Ominis and was wondering if you could do a part 2 where Sebastian returns and what will happen next 😬 Thank you, wish you a wonderful day/night!

No problem! 💚 Thank you for the Request 💜

Last time, Ominis nearly died which prompted a confession out of him. MC got a little spicy 🌶

What will happen when Sebastian returns? 🤔

Ominis Gaunt x F!MC - fluff/mentions of spice 🔞

The common room was quiet, just how Ominis liked it, and he was seated in his favourite chair. MC would be along any moment, she was fetching the book she had been reading to him and he was looking forward to the next chapter.

He heard footsteps approaching, but they weren't MC's, these were slightly heavier. He tilted his head, frowning a little, those steps were familiar.

"Hello, Ominis, long time no see."

Ominis sat up straight, lips parting in surprise. It had been months since he had heard that familiar tone. "Sebastian!"

"That's me," he said. Ominis could hear the smile in his voice. "I thought I would surprise you rather than send an owl."

"And you have succeeded," Ominis replied. He stood. "This is a surprise, but it is good to hear your voice my friend."

An anxious band tightened around his chest as Sebastian slung his arm around his shoulders to give him a squeeze. Ominis tried to smile through the panic. MC would be back any moment, and they'd had no time to prepare for this.

Sebastian did not know about them, did not know how intimate he had become with MC.

"So, what's the gossip? It's been a while since your last owl. What have I missed?" Sebastian asked.

Ominis gave a little shrug. "Well..."

As if on demand, the tap of MC's feet sounded on the metal walkway from the dorms, growing closer. Ominis held his breath, his ears straining desperately towards her. Her step paused and he heard her swift intake of breath. He heard Sebastian's name slip from her lips in a whisper, the thud of something hitting the floor, presumably the book, and then she was running towards them.

"Sebastian!" Her voice was a cry of delight. Ominis felt his heart sink at the sound of their bodies colliding fiercely, the ooof noise that burst from Sebastian's lips.

He could only imagine the sight of them entwined in a hug, bodies pressed close. Envy was a terrible thing, and he savoured the bitterness of it on his tongue.

"Wow, MC, did you miss me?" Sebastian chuckled.

"Every day," she said. From the muffled sound of her voice, she was still in his arms.

"She was very disappointed that you didn't write more often," Ominis said. He could hear the pissy tone of his voice and cared little.

There was the rustle of clothing as they released each other. Ominis desperately wanted to go to her, take her hand in his, have some form of physical contact, some reassurance from her. But he remained still, his hand clutching at his robe.

"Ah yes, sorry about that," Sebastian said. "But I'm back now. How are you?"

"I'm good," MC said. "Come and sit, tell me everything. How is Anne?"

Ominis moved to sit back in his chair while they sat on the sofa, chatting happily. Ominis had been so caught up with his anxiousness, he had not asked about Anne. But apparently she was doing well. He tried to enjoy the conversation, but he was finding it difficult, trying not to imagine that they might be holding hands.

When Sebastian turned the conversation around to MC, Ominis tensed. Sebastian wanted all her news.

"The biggest news would have to be myself and Ominis," she said, brightly.

"Oh?"

"Yes, we have grown rather close over the last few weeks," she said. A little giggle slipped from her lips. "Very close in fact."

Ominis felt his cheeks warm considerably. "MC..."

"Is that right?" Sebastian drawled. "Well, this is certainly news to me. You kept that one quiet, Ominis."

"Yes, well, I didn't want to sound like I was bragging or anything," he said.

"Oh, Ominis," MC said. She moved from the sofa to come and clasp his hand. Ominis held it gladly, drawing great comfort from her touch. "It's not bragging at all."

A beat of silence. "Well, as long as you're both happy, then I'm happy too," Sebastian said, a little tightly. "As for me, I've got some catching up to do, so if anyone needs me I'll be in the library."

"It's so good to have you back, Sebastian," MC said.

Sebastian didn't answer her, but he was quiet before the sound of his retreating footsteps carried across the common room. Ominis wondered what expressions the two of them had exchanged. MC gave a little sigh and Ominis gave her hand a squeeze. "Everything alright, my love?"

"He looked sad, Ominis," she said. "For all his upbeat chatter, his eyes told a different story."

"I must admit, I was worried how he would react about us two," Ominis said. "He seemed to handle it well."

"Why wouldn't he?"

Ominis hesitated. He was reluctant to say too much in case it put thoughts in her head, thoughts he didnt want her to have. But then, he couldnt bring himself to lie either. "I must be honest with you, MC. I think he may have harboured some affection towards you himself during fifth year. That was partly why I never mentioned my own feelings sooner."

"And you're telling me this now?" MC gasped. "My goodness, and there was me dropping it on him just like that! I had no idea he felt that way."

"So, you don't return those feelings at all?"

MC was quiet, her fingers caressing the back of his hand. "Sebastian is a very handsome boy, Ominis. I would be liar if I said I didn't think so. But I hadn't thought to take it any further than that. It hasn't always been plain sailing between myself and Sebastian, there are a lot of other things that got in the way of those kinds of ideas."

"And if there hadn't been those troubles, what then?" His heart constricted.

He felt her shrug. "I honestly have no idea, and, like yourself, I would rather be honest with you than tell you untruths. I felt a deeper connection with you however, especially once the troubles were over, and Sebastian was gone. I do not regret us, how could I? You are so very dear to me, Ominis, never think otherwise."

He tugged her hand closer, pressing it to his cheek. "You are dear to me also, MC. Perhaps more than you know."

....*....

Ominis prepared for bed, turning down the blanket and removing his robe. The dorm room door opened and Sebastian's footfalls crossed to his bed. He flopped on to it with a groan.

"Everything alright?" Ominis asked.

Sebastian was quiet. Ominis thought he wasn't going to answer his question and sat on the edge of his bed, his back to Sebastian. He kicked his slippers from his feet.

"Do you love her, Ominis?"

Ominis stilled, his heart skipping slightly. "Yes, I do," he said, truthfully.

Sebastian moved on his bed, a few footsteps sounded, and then Ominis felt his own mattress dip as he sat with him. "And, does she love you?"

Ominis hesitated. MC had never used the word 'love', but she had shown her affections in other ways. "I hope so," Ominis said with a sigh.

"Me too," Sebastian said. He put a firm hand on Ominis' shoulder. "You deserve it."

Ominis swallowed hard. "I had been worried you might be jealous," he admitted.

Sebastian chuckled. "Oh, I am," he said. "Dreadfully so. MC has the sexiest arse I've ever seen. You're a lucky man, my friend."

Ominis flushed a bright pink. Sebastian shifted and Ominis felt his elbow dig into his side. "Come on then, let's hear it, dish the details. Have you done the deed yet?"

Ominis clicked his tongue. "I'm not sure that's an entirely appropriate topic of discussion."

Sebastian laughed. "Oh, come on. If it was the other way around, you wouldn't ask me the same thing?"

Ominis couldn't help the twitch of amusement on his lips. He had enjoyed Sebastian divulging the details of his rather heated snogging session in the broom cupboard with a very pretty Ravenclaw once.

His smirk became very smug. He could raise the stakes quite high compared to a snog. "Well, she did suck my cock, so there's that."

"Really?" Sebastian gasped. "Bloody hell. Nice one!"

"It was rather," Ominis said.

"I bet," Sebastian said, thoughtfully. "You lucky bugger."

Then they were both laughing, Sebastian throwing his arm around Ominis' shoulders. "I've missed you, Ominis."

"It is good to have you home," Ominis said, fondly.

@goakizaizinski asked me ages ago about my zexal ship opinions and i forgot to answer, but since it's on my mind, here are some of my thoughts (which are mostly durbe-centric because, duh)

first, durbe/nasch. atem/mahad was my bread and butter when i was super into dm, so i'll always have a fondness for this pair -- and yet, at the same time, i find more and more that i prefer it unrequited on durbe's end if it's just the two of them. i guess i just like being mean to durbe? 😂 but it also means i can use yūma/shark as a plot device to push durbe and kotori together. (i'm pretty lukewarm about yūma/shark outside of this express purpose. it's totally fine, i just don't have strong feelings about it.)

"durbe and kotori?? did they interact even a single time???" yes, actually, and i haven't been the same since. they have archlord kristya in common and durbe's deck can natively go into fairy cheer girl, which was a very popular option during star seraphs' heyday in duel links. case closed. nah, i really don't know how to explain this one? it kind of blossomed from my generally negative feelings toward kotori/yūma, which...... i'll try to keep short, because ship bashing isn't my thing, but kotori/yūma in canon is all give and no receive on her part and it's genuinely really sad. the way she identifies astral as yūma's most important person right after she confesses her feelings to him is just,, ouch. like it literally feels cruel when it's clearly not meant to be. and it's not meant to be because women being unilaterally dedicated to men who pour their own emotional energy into other men is regrettably common, not just in yugioh, not even just in anime or media. but i digress. durbe and kotori are both nurturers in very different ways and i think letting them both experience that would be really good, because neither of them is used to being on the receiving end of that kind of care. plus durbe is borderline comically serious and kotori can be such a silly birb, i think they'd make a fun pair 🩷

since we're already touching on big ships. yūma/astral. eh. the irony is that i actually started watching zexal for them. i do more or less consider it canon? but not in a way where i care all that much about it. part of it's that i find yūma to be the least interesting part of zexal, which i hate to say because i also feel that the story generally benefits from how unremarkable he is -- he's supposed to be this more or less normal kid who has no stake in these interpersonal and interdimensional conflict, he just has a huge heart and wants to help people. i also just... don't remotely buy that astral's maturity is on the same level as a 13-year-old's. (it's really funny to me that the same people who get up in arms about age gaps have no issue with these two. they have an even bigger gap than atem and yūgi. it's almost like they're hypocrites or something... 🤔) obvious disclaimer that i'm not remotely suggesting it's ""immoral"" to ship this -- ships can't be immoral -- i just personally don't because of the huge maturity gap from my pov.

i made this post to talk about durbe and the twins and got sidetracked. durbe/merag. s tier. god, i love holyice more and more every day, i swear. i like it by itself and i like it as part of a throuple with nasch, whereas durbe/nasch i prefer as one-sided except in the context of durbe/nasch/merag. i need to get around to publishing something with these two asap. i wish i had more words but my brain genuinely just goes !!!!!!!!🩷🩷🩷 can't wait to subject everyone to my hyper specific headcanons.

all of this also applies to durbe/rio, though i actually like durbe/ryouga a smidge more than durbe/nasch, whereas durbe/merag and durbe/rio are about the same? maybe it's that both incarnations of rio get less focus than her brother and as such, don't feel as distinct in their dynamic with durbe, in spite of how much i like to play with her both being and not being merag. durbe and ryouga are really petty and that's funny.

i quite like durbe/mizael and i've been kicking around the idea of durbe/thomas. i like kaito/chris despite my apathy towards kaito, but i supremely don't care about kaito/mizael. have i forgotten any big ones?? kotori/cathy and kotori/anna are fun. astral/96 was my old stomping ground and i still have a soft spot for it. i like 96/akari and astral/akari, too. yūma/96 is okay but inferior to other 96 ships. i only like 96/vector when vector isn't an uwu innocent victim and vector/yūma when it's properly fucked up. yūma/fūya, yūma/kaito, yūma/michael and michael/kotori are cute. michael/astral and especially michael/mizael seem fun in my head. i want to see fūya/anna explored more, too, i just don't care to do it myself.

my kaito apathy means kaito/ryouga doesn't do much for me, either. i like thomas/rio and vector/rio a little more than thomas/shark and vector/shark, but see the appeal in the latter pairs as well. i like @shifuto's astral/shark stuff even if i'd never think of it on my own. kotori/rio deserves more love -- too much of the content feels really performative for me. if i think of a ship i forgot i'll edit this.

i can't believe orbital 7 fucked. that's all

[turtledotjpeg]

(chapter 400 spoilers)

i have been fed and i must make stupid internet doodles about it

my wife is so successful and popular (said with distress) and she is doing her best and she just wanted to do healing and said 'noooo' to murders and she cried about kacho and hates being called old and kurapika is the only one she can rely on and i'm gonna cry

more thoughts (not interesting) under the cut because this is an art blog but I am compelled to yell into the void about this chapter

man I was ready to be happy just to see Melody for one panel, but there was So Much in this chapter 🥺 feels like we're getting to see some new facets of her personality (see: Old Maid Melody lmaoo) and it's so fun

it was nice to see her and Kacho getting to interact a bit more openly - for some reason I was expecting nen-Kacho to be more of a separate entity, rather than the "brought back to life" kind of deal where she basically feels and acts like she's the same person? I like it though, I want to see her messing with Melody some more lol

I was wondering if Kurapika's goal might come up re: the fourth prince's invitation, but it seems like the immediate concern with Fugetsu takes priority, which makes sense Zhang Lei also wanting a private audience is interesting, I wonder if that could give her and Kurapika an opportunity to meet up and plan things out before she visits terrorsandwich? Before all that, though, they'd have to deal with Benjamin (assuming it's a first-rank-first-served kind of deal), no idea how that's gonna work out unless they actually pull off the Just Murder Everyone plan

also lmaooo the love confession 😂 one the one hand I feel like all her initial suspicion and mistrust towards glasses guy has to be a setup for him to actually be more honest than she expects, but I still can't help being a bit skeptical of him... both because there has to be something going on with the heartbeat thing, right?

and also, even if it is probably what's most practical for the situation, I'm not toootally sure if I love this "stop being sad and go use your powers to help us do murders" thing lol (granted kacho was very on board with both of those, too, but. idk man, maybe at least try to comfort her a little or something? xD)

that said, he is kind of risking his neck to help them, and i Am extremely in favor of anyone and everyone being in love with melody, so i appreciate him for that haha

okay, totally baseless "theory" #1: he's melody's dead sonata friend possessing the body (& therefore lying about the not believing in ghosts thing) - probably unlikely given Fugetsu is also said to be "possessed" and that looks very different, plus it sounds like that's something Melody should be able to notice? but it'd give him a genuine motive to help her out while lying through his teeth about all the details

or totally baseless theory #2: he's literally just a normal guy with a medical condition

melody: but I just don't get it, HOW can your heartbeat be so calm and steady all the time?!? kaiser: oh, cause of the pacemaker you mean? melody:

(**based on about 2 minutes of research I don't think that's quite how pacemakers work, but it's hxh universe, there could be Something)

(on an unrelated note, I also really liked Tyson in this chapter…sounds like she was basically pressured into a death battle she assumes she won't win, but she's still just out here baking birthday cakes and trying to have a good time :( rootin for her)

...and finally can I just say, even if there was a good reason for it, I think it's hilarious that Melody's reaction to someone liking her is just "hmm... 🤔 kinda sus" alternative responses to "i love you": "with a heart rhythm as precise as an atomic clock?! yeah right!"

[kings-highway]

How do you feel about AtsuKageHina?

m 🤔

i don't like it, to be honest. And that's mostly because I've got some kind of vendetta against AtsuHina in all of it's forms. I don't like it. I think it's slightly more tolerable with Kageyama in the mix, though. BUT. The point of these asks is to seriously consider it and treat it well so I will see what I can find.

my first instinct is to dwell more on Atsumu/Kageyama, because while I do think AtsuKageHina can really only exist as Atsumu joining an established KageHina, I think their dynamic could really make or break the polyship.

I think, obviously, they'd have a lot of intense rivalry over volleyball and then also Hinata, especially since Kageyama is on the opposite side of the net so to speak. Atsumu being more of an ass than usual complaining about Hinata "telling the Adlers all their secrets" and Bokuto/Sakusa being like "dude it's not that serious" but it IS it IS that serious (to him) (he hasn't realized he has a crush on Hinata)

I think there's also some really interesting possibilities in, like, AtsuHina coming first, bonding on the Adlers and falling in love, and Atsumu just realizing that Hinata has always had this fixation with Kageyama and even if he trusts that Hinata loves him, he knows that Kageyama exists on a kind of different spectrum? Like it's not about romantic love, necessarily, for KageHina.

BUT Ignore the more plot-heavy descriptions I do really, really like the idea of AtsuHina being a thing and then both being aggressively in love with Kageyama who's just Autistic and On Another Team and so they're barking and growling from the other side of the net and Kageyama is just like "yeah this is totally about volleyball :)" and so oblivious to the fact that he's being pursued so heavily (and in Hinata's case, as been being pursued for a WHILE.)

I also think this ship could work as AtsuHina and KageHina as a love angle, rather than a completed polycule, even though I think Atsumu and Kageyama would have the most interesting dynamic as a trio.

Hinata would absolutely call them "his boys" whenever they're going anywhere. "Got my keys, got the volleyball, got my boys, let's hit the beach!" vibes

Hinata going to Brazil would fracture the group for a bit, Kageyama and Atsumu not really knowing how to be in a relationship without his energy, and I think they would break up for a bit and then be absolutely tormented by it, like... they don't even tell Hinata really (who they're maintaining as long distance) but they "mutually agree" to step back from each other because it just doesn't feel right and then like cue some kind of "standing outside your window with a sign" scene or a confession in the rain where they realize that they really did like each other.

Atsumu can absolutely fill a similar rival role as Hinata for Kageyama, in terms of passion in the relationship, but I think Kageyama is like... weird territory for Atsumu. Because Atsumu is mr "best setter in Japan" but Kageyama as we know is a proper prodigy. And Atsumu probably finds him beautiful in a really abstract way, why like's obsessed with the way he holds his pencils and mugs of tea and the way he stretches and just can't get enough of him because Atsumu has never in his life had a setter he thought he could look up to (he's arrogant! he's always thought he was the best) but now there's this gorgeous, passionate, and LOUDLY talented setter who just sweeps him off his feet and goddamn it feels good to be able to idolize (worship?) someone. Its just an entirely different kind of Love I dont think he's had the opportunity to do. Make him breakfast in bed and let him be the passenger princess.

Side note: Osamu would hate this ship. RIP to the second twin could you imagine him putting up with this shit?

Overall Rating:

Me, Personal Interest: -4/10

Concept/Potential: 8/10

(as much as I don't like AtsuHina or this ship I'm not gonna pretend like I don't get it I know where you people are coming from)

What would it be like if Original Felix met his IM counterpart and the IM crew and Circus? Would he tease IM Felix about Ozzy?

that's a hard question because it depends what counts as original felix,(⚠️autism moment upcoming⚠️) there's his black and white self, his comic self, and a lot of people look at either the 1950s show or the twisted tales show for references too 🤔 im not as knowlegable on his comic self as i didnt read those, on his black and white self as ive only seen a couple shorts(ive been meaning to watch more but im always meaning to watch more of x ajjsajjda rn im trying to catch up on some oswald and some popeye classics to better understand them and i didnt even Began tackling the mickey shorts—and i fully dropped the alice comedies i dont like them very much, i'm more of a fleischer than a disney guy i watched muuuch more of bettys black and white ones and fleischer generally has much stronger characterizations amongst the black and white era!the other cartoons had characterization but i wouldnt say they were at the level that fleischer was beggining to do with its protagonists)

anyways sorry. you tackled the hyperfixation lemme cut myself from ranting more and answer your question qjsjajdjajdjw i thiiiink. i think, if we speak on a more general term, some b&w felixes would tease him but theyd look more towards the chance of teasing him in general than the chance of teasing him over romance in specific—or they wouldn't care at all/would care more about other things(i know there were a lot of comics and shorts that implied felix to be someone who had this ideology of sharing to your community in a very communism utopia manner, and they might be a bit more focused on the fact that felix is a famous rich writer and isn't doing. anything with that, while some of those felixes are starving on screen he had a lot of starving and poverty issues), from what ive seen of the 50s shorts(i havent seen them all! i just got the luck to find a cd with several episodes on a store nearby so i know those episodes)that one is a little bit more calm and nice and would probably try to help him confess, and twisted tales felix which was tap's main inspiration for his younger self i think would think "oh this poor dude is about to get ruined with another romance he has no chance in. sheesh. anyways how can i either steal his man or steal his money(surely no comical hijinks could come from that)"

now the crew. as in questers. hhhggh long one so i'm just gonna resume it to strongest friendships. black and white shorts felix would hit off very well with bendy, and a little bit boris but deef with bendy. 50s felix would probably like holly the most, mugs second. twisted tales would be interacting with cup the most but always in an almost rivalry to him, not full on rivals but not buddy buddies kinda thing, and i say that because i can see him passing by when cup's playing a luck game to see if he can get him to loose, him seeing cup get himself dates and flirting and try to steal those girls' attention to it not only not working but cup laughing at him, and he's def pretty zany on that show which cup doesn't like because it's unpredictable, not to mention cup's entire attitude could get him to mutter sassy remarks, but i think they'd find enjoyment in that entire dynamic he wouldn't full on hate cup and cup wouldn't full on hate him either

but i might be wrong i haven't watched those in like 3 years ajsjjajdjajd and besides everyone has different interpretations of the characters. as much as i love felix (literally got gifted a felix notebook and felix socks and a felix shirt all by different family members and considering i had already made myself a little felix necklace and was also gifted an oswald bag i finally have the full "i am normal about black and white cartoons" fit 💥 ahsjsjskcja) i am a 6 people and i can only watch and analyze and remember so many shorts while everyone else also uses the brain for their own hyperfixations kwjdjwjfja

How would Kid & Killer deal with having a crush on the same person? 🤔🫣

Hmmm. I feel like there's a few ways this could go.

1 - Killer would back off right from the rip. He probably decided a long time ago that any this or that conflict was going to resolve by him choosing to put Kid first. It's not that he doesn't think he deserves anything, but it makes it easier, things are already complicated on the seas.

2 - they realize they're smitten with the same person at the same time and talk it out. Decide to let the person in question be the one to broach the subject (unless it becomes painfully obvious they're holding back.)

3 - Honestly the most likely? I head canon polyamory being a thing on the crew, and certainly between these two. They'd probably confess at the same time, explaining the polycule and offering options if there was an interest.

I also think three is most likely because I feel like Kid and Killer both had a thing for Victoria, and didn't deal with the rivalry well. After that loss they didn't want to risk similar mistakes going forward, and are very direct in talking about that sort of thing.

WHEN I TELL YOU THAT HEARING WS!DONNIE TELL READER HE LOVES THEM WORD FOR WORD, I WAS SHOT. SHOT I SAY!! /lh

Ah, but introspective mode-wise, Donbon's really come so far, huh? I can't wait to feel the whiplash when I decide to pick this fic up from the start once it's done. The joys of watching character development in present time.

makes me a little excited on what on earth that argument's gonna be about too 🙂

YOU'RE TELLING ME! WHEN I WROTE IT I LEGIT SECOND GUESSED MYSELF! I WAS LIKE, IS THIS HAPPENING? AM I ALLOWED TO TYPE THIS!?

I didn't feel like any confession would feel good enough; I'd built it up for too long! 😂

I've been reading back old chapters to confirm some stuff and yeah, it's wild how far he's come! As we get closer to the end I'm getting more emotional with each passing chapter. It's legit been over a year since I started telling this story and I can't believe it's coming to a close!

Also, insult to injury, me and my betas had to retire the original editing doc because it had too many comments on it (resolved ones count!) It was like a double whammy end of an era!!

Argument? Is that what I agreed they'd be having? 👀🤔😂

[bylertruther]

Once when I was in an All-Girls Christian School, I wrote a prank love letter to one of my friends and out it in her locker. News flew across school quickly and everyone was talking about it. And that week, her bff started acting very strange. Always sullen and upset, seeming really down whenever anyone talked to her. Anyway I left the school not long after and one of my friends told me later on that the both of them are now a couple, going pretty strong, with the love letter having given the BFF the courage to finally confess her feelings. But also that the BFF said that they'd probably strangle that person who sent the love letter for all the stress and emotional turmoil they had caused her that entire week. Anyway, love wins

your IMPACT omg.. how chaotic evil of u. i feel like the end result kind of cancels out the prank here maybe but dont do tht again? lmao. you're like a mischievous cupid almost 🤔

[tim-lucy]

I really can't figure out if tim and lucy have had a big relationship talk and their I love yous or not. On one hand they say their future isn't certain but on the other... they've implied they want kids together. Can we get one moment of confession or confirmation pleease lol

Personally, I don't think they have!! I definitely think a lot of this is suspicious from a writing standpoint (not from a relationship standpoint because it makes sense they'd fall into it so naturally). But knowing the way the showrunner was dead-set on dragging them out and how aware he is of the "moonlighting curse," I feel like there's a reason for everything!

I've had a theory for a few months but I'm afraid to put it in writing because whenever I do it never comes true ehehehe 🤭 Actually it just never comes true in general, BUT you can never be too safe 😂

Hopefully, the finale will reveal all!! Alexi Hawley has my trust so I'm excited to see what this is all building towards!! 👀 If it does not...then I may have some other thoughts 🤔 I GUESS WE SHALL SEE!! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

[mugenloopdalove]

You said once you were thinking a little about a path or somethin where Theil never confessed to Reya right.. that actually sounds like an interesting au of sorts I wanna know how all that would play out

Hrrrm

Think they'd just keep following her, being her loyal servant, compeletely unaware of they fact that they're being used. They'd fawn over her of course, probably get even more obsessed and start basically worshipping her without ever truly confessing. She'd keep them around until eventually, she has them go for WAY TO BIG OF A TARGET. Probably an actual government official that requires them to actively sneak into a big event, and they get caught.

It would actually be interesting if getting tadpoled saved them from jail time now that I'm thinking of it 🤔

[spookyserenades]

Dana!!! I hope you're feeling better and I can't thank you enough for giving us trouville for FREE!! We're truly spoiled with this story 😔 some thoughts:

- the Jimin moment was so sweet, I love our yeehaw boy. I'll kiss his boo boos away any day and i'd also sick him with the hello kitty bandaid too cuz we live an aesthetic lifestyle

- love the mystery gang team, so much development in their segment, its crazy what a late night van drive will do to people lol

- i like also got a headache when MC was thinking about how much a Disney trip for 8 people would cost. In THIS economy? Sorry Hoseok you're just gonna have to freeze. I know she must have a lot saved up from when she was a vet but paying for a house that big and for so many people? She's a money mastermind

- Alice is such a fun character, I'm glad she suggested making the boys jealous so they'd maybe be kicked into high gear, she's doing the lord work cuz we were all thinking it. What more shenanigans will this open us up to 🤔👀

- I stg I'm ot7 but jeezus trouville yoongi does in fact own my entire being, I want him in a way concerning to feminism and so does MC lol. That spicy part was everything but I was so scared someone would walk in on them but thankfully that didn't happen, I would have freaked!!!!

- Jin and MC cooking!!!! Thats my husband fr and speaking of which- WE GOT HIM BOYS, THATS ANOTHER ONE IN THE BAG!!!!!!!! WE'RE 2 FOR 7 ON BAGGING THE TROUVILLE BOYS!!! 😤😤😤 IT FEELs SO GOOD 😫😫😫 THE WAY I SCREECHED. So so so so so good. Perfect place to leave us for next chapter I'm extremely excited! ❤

- 🍒

AHH HI LOVE! I am finally feeling better whewww boy I forgot what it's like to be sickly LMAO. Excited to hear your thoughts about the newest update hehe, thank you for reading and sending in your precious feedback 🥺

I love the little moments MC has with Jimin!!! I hope he's giving hopeless romantic in Trouvaille, I think it's fitting for his rancher background, and his Libraness fhdksafd. I also love the visual of manly cowboy Jimin with the Hello Kitty bandaid, he probably looked down at it a bunch afterwards and blushed thinking about MC AHHHH!! The mystery gang, omg. My literal DREAM is to formulate a paranormal investigation team, ESPECIALLY with Namkook. Just having Joon's insightfulness and Jeongguk's fearlessness I think it would be absolutely perfect. I can't wait to write more about their adventures in all of the upcoming chapters!

HA SCREAMINGGGG No like she'd need a small loan of a million dollars for a Disney trip with all of them. It would be such a cute little drabble or plot arc to write though, all of them going on rides and whatnot. Or spicy hotel smut lol Lucky MC inherited that house from her grandparents, and her dad ended up being wealthy from his contributions to hybrid cardiology surgery, so she was pretty much born into deep pockets LOL... that's the beauty of fiction, we get to pretend we were born into bottomless wealth 💀

AH I'm so glad you like Alice 🥺 It was important to me that MC had other friends besides the hybrids! You need some friends to confide in, not just romantic interests, and MC's friends are supportive but also give her reality checks when she needs them. Alice is soooo real for telling her use jealousy to her advantage, considering MC is a little avoidant of confrontation LOL.

fdkasf BESTIE I'm hyung line (Namjoon ult) biased, and Trouvaille Yoongi is seriously trying to snatch me away from my other three. I, too, need him biblically, and would let him have his way with me 💀 AH the smut.... he's such a giver, definitely a soft dom 🥰 I'd dieeee too if one of the others walked in. Thankfully, they were the only two at home during that scene!

JINNIE COOKING CLASS. I love love lovedddd writing that scene, Seokjin is such husband material and especially in Trouvaille, he deserves to have fun with a new hobby 🥺 AND FINALLY ANOTHER CONFESSION!!!! Seokjin hasn't been subtle with his feelings, especially in the past few chapters, so I'm glad he was finally brave enough to fess up. MC was probably relieved that she didn't have to do it first 😭💀 AH I'm excited to see how she reacts in the next chapter hehee!

Thank you for reading the latest update and sending me all of your thoughts bestie 💜💜💜

[total-drama-brainrot]

Ass Stars anon I like that 😁

so if you do want to hear more about Shitwrecked then

So the whole season starts as a “anniversary party” for all the past contestants that aren’t gen four.

So only gen four knows this is a new season, then Chris pulls the old surprise! “You guys are in for a new season of Total Drama!”

This takes place in a cruise ship and there are four teams, the leaders are the winners for their debut season.

And got some idea too-

Geoff and Julia beef (Julia stole the rr money from Geoff)

Axel and Duncan reconciliation arc (at the beginning they both hate each other for reasons as the story goes on they slowly become friends again. The culmination being Duncan helping Axel with a confession song.)

Wayne, Ella, and Gwen are all cousins cause I think is funi (Gwen has two golden retrievers as cousins)

Julia killing Alejandro for MK (she doesn’t really kill him don’t worry)

Ripper and Millie friendship arc (they both like Taylor swift)

Emma getting the recognition she deserves (I love her ok)

Shaw and Axel friendship

And I have more but I fee like that is gonna be a long time

I might need some help trying to find an antagonist or so yeah

Anyways hello hello total drama brain rot 👋😁

Hello hello, Ass Stars Anon! 👋😁

Love love LOVE this idea, and I'm living for the cruise ship theme. Especially if they go the World Tour route and have themed challenges based around whatever countries/ports they stop at during the cruise. I wonder how the four teams will be themed? Will they name themselves a la World Tour, or will they be assigned derogatory team names to follow on with tradition? Do they have assigned team leaders?

Now I'm curious as to how Julia managed to steal/swindle Geoff's RR money from him 🤔 Is she a relative of his?

Axel and Duncan being at each others' throats sounds about right. They're both not exactly personable, even if Axel mentioned trying to be "nicer" in season 2 of the reboot, so having their personalities clash is inevitable. I'm glad to hear they eventually rekindle their friendship though! Though I assume they'll still have that patented cousin rivalry 😏 (Very excited to hear who Axel is confessing to through song- that's such a cute idea! No spoilers though 🙊)

Gwen being the black sheep of her otherwise cheerful family is such a vibe, I love the contrast of it!

I wonder what Alejandro could've done to MK to necessitate his murder? Rest in peace king, you probably won't be missed 🙏😔 (/j). Julia standing up for her girlfriend is everything, especially when she's going toe-to-toe with Alejandro Burromuerto of all people.

Can't say I've ever envisioned either Ripper or Millie as a swiftie, but the thought of two polar opposites bonding over Taylor's music is too amusing for me to dispute. Do you think they'd argue over which of her albums is 'the best'?

Emma absolutely deserves some recognition! She's was done pretty dirty in s2; anything that helps her escape Chase's circle of influence is a huge boon. She's got so much potential to be a character in her own right without the baggage of her failed relationship(s).

Shawn and Axel bonding is just a given, really. Two zombie apocalypse survivalists? They're either gonna be besties or worsties, depending on how Shawn's paranoia interprets Axel's more... feral tendencies.

As for an antagonist, I think you'll need to have a pretty solid idea of what your plot is before you can decide on who's going to be your source of conflict. There's plenty of options throughout the whole cast, and on the whole each Total Drama "villain" brings a different skill-set to the table, so once you know how you want things to progress you can just use the most applicable antagonist.

OR, if you're feeling spicy, you could repurpose a completely different character as an antagonist instead! Priya and Sierra teaming up to use their extensive knowledge of the cast and the competition could be a fun idea... 👀

[tcookies777]

Woah, I’ve found the end of the act 1 of AOL like a new opening to explain a lot of things about the story… I did not expect Sakura’s confession of her arranged marriage, but fuck, it was a pleasant surprise!!! I felt anxious for soooo long that Kakashi’s feelings were growing stronger and Sakura wasn’t being 100% honest with him… so, FINALLY! Kakashi’s reaction to the news suits him. It suits the character you’ve been developing in this fanfic. I admire you ability of keeping the plot real, credible and so accurate (Canon, even).

I have the impression that Sakura is becoming more and more mature despite her innocence.

I do have a question (maybe I’ll have to wait ACT 2 to know the answer, but I try anyway lol)

- Has Sasuke the same age as Sakura? I have the impression that it was mentioned that he had finished college?..

- How do you do? Where do find the inspiration in order to have a quality storyline? I’m just curious; You’re so talented.

Happy holidays and rétablie toi bien!

À bientôt !

I know right? Finally she spills all the beans! Of course, since we're receiving all this info through Sakura's POV, we still don't have the answers about the engagement yet but we will get there eventually! I know other readers, just like Sakura, have been dying to know what's up with her parents 🤔

That's a great impression! Sakura is different compared to in Chapter 1 so she's definitely maturing. But she has still got a long ways to go before I would call her a badass! I know some readers already see her as a badass, but personally she's not a badass in my eyes yet. And Kakashi too is learning, but he still has a lot of growth to go through as well!

Yes, you're correct, Kabuto mentioned to Sakura at the charity ball that Sasuke had graduated a few years ago. His age isn't that important to know or spoilery, so I'm free to say that he is 20 years old in this fic.

Of course, rarely you'll find a 20 yr old who graduated college years ago, but just like Kakashi, he's one of those ""geniuses"" that skipped grades.

Most of my inspiration for the story comes from real life experiences! Both my life and the lives of those around me.

For example, that Kakashi is a soldier is an idea inspired by canon. But that he has PTSD and other mental health issues is inspired by my experience and also the experience of others I know.

If you had seen my Percy Jackson fanfiction that I wrote as a teenager though, oh god you would've thought I was the worst writer ever. Because I was so young, I didn't have as much life experience to pull from. My dialogue was so cringy and stilted. I didn't even know how to write the character riding a metro bus because I'd never done it before!

That's why I guarantee you the best fanfics you'll ever read are the ones written by fans in their 30s and above. 9 times out of 10, the older the writer is, the better their writing is. They are masters of delivering nuance and telling epic stories. Because much of their own inspiration is pulled from everything they'd experienced or learned about life.

[loosesodamarble]

Yaaaaayyyy! Thank you for taking al my headcanons and responding! Thank you~!

You bring up a good point. Finesse's proximity to the throne might be a reason why she's getting married off. She's considered both a part of House Kira and House Vaude as she's intended to marry the Vaude heir. So is Augustus trying to distance her from the throne by officially making her part of a different family? 🤔 Maybe. Maybe not. I'm presuming that Damnatio is closer to the throne since he's an immediate Kira while Calmreich has a different last name. So perhaps Finesse is getting married off because of her magic and the fact that she's a woman and thus... (disappointed sigh).

Ohhh! I like how you summarize Finesse's actions with possessed!Langris. "The right things to do aren't always the smartest things to do." I just love Finesse's surprising boldness! It's great! There's also her understanding and kindness... It's her own kind of strength which I love so much. She's not trying to be physically strong despite her constitution but instead being strong in heart and mind. (And her understanding heart is something which she shares with Josele, meaning I need to develop the ladies' friendship.)

I'm kinda happy that the biggest flaw with Finesse is her presence in a meta way. She's largely a love interest between the Space Bros. Her personality isn't perfect (one could argue she's too forgiving to the bros because of Finral's flirting and Langris'... attitude) but there's very little to find wrong with her.

FINESSE X MORGEN! I've only mentioned it once before as an arranged marriage ship but it's a tiny little wriggling thought in the back of my head! And honeslty, I think they'd make such a good couple! They're both sweet and understanding and Morgen would definitely share stories of his work with Finesse to give her a taste of adventure and stuff like that!

I wonder if the Fausts' devil work was a secret to the public because when Nacht crashed the captains' meeting, Julius claimed to not know about Nacht being devil-possessed. He could've been lying but what purpose would it serve at that time? I definitely think that the Fausts and their devil dealings are public in the present since Asta can work with Liebe in the open.

Regardless, I'm married to Light Mage Finesse.

A friendship with Nebra seems like it'd be hard to achieve. But I wouldn't call it impossible. It's said that Nebra like to play with her enemies and so someone sheltered like Finesse might be considered boring to Nebra. They could still talk cordially about current events. Finesse's friendship with Mereoleona would also be difficult to get started but I just like the aesthetic of sheltered Finesse experiencing the world through Mereoleona's wild life. And with how understanding Finesse is, Mereo might like a friend who would never tire of her stories.

Blue Rose Knights, huh? The squad does have a rule against relationships with men but we know the ladies broke that rule in secret until Charlotte confessed about Yami (and I'm assuming the rule was dispelled with that) but Finesse's royal status could get her an exemption for her arranged situation with House Vaude. My main choice would honestly be the Coral Peacocks. We don't know the exact vibe of the squad but from Dorothy and Kirsch, I think the squad is a little more relaxed than ones like the CLK and SE. I feel Finesse would work best in a more relaxed environment so she wouldn't have to worry about pushing herself too hard. I also rule out GD and BB due to the Vaude situation and Finesse not wanting to show any bias there.

Hiiiiiiyaaaaaa~! Hi there Laura~! I'm here to appreciate an under-appreciated blorbo! My sweet lady Finesse! And I'm not just here to ask questions, I'm here to give my own thoughts on the questions (I do have one question for you though, tee hee). But like, just please accept my Finesse ramblings.

🍁 - The most interesting thing about Finesse is her proximity to the royal throne. She calls Augustus great uncle so her grandparent is a sibling of the current king. We don’t know how many other people are in House Kira besides Damnatio but Finesse is part of the though (though possibly considered a part of a branch family since her last name is different). But she’s still probably in line for succession. Queen Finesse when? 😤

🍂 - Finesse's strength as a person is her courage. When Langris was possessed and Ratry going crazy in House Kira, Finesse threw herself at his back and begged him not to hurt everyone. She saw that and didn't hesitate to try to stop "Langris". She has no combat abilities, she's frail in general, but the bravery! It's amazing! I also want to point out how positive she is, not made bitter in the slightest by her weak constitution or the fact that she's been placed in an arranged marriage. I love her, your honor.

🌼 - I think what makes Finesse a strong character is her understanding. She shows no fear towards Langris after the elf possession. She forgives Finral for his womanizing ways and seems to eagerly await his efforts to be a man that will make her happy. And I think that's something both brothers need for their character arcs. She's someone to see the worst sides of them (even though Langris was possessed, it's still a bad look) and to still accept them.

🌻 - Literally she's got a weak constitution and is sickly. Enough said. But also... I think she was a little bit dense when trying to talk to a possessed Langris. It clearly wasn't Langris so like, girl, run!

🌿 - Weakness as a character, I'd say it's the fact that she wasn't brought up sooner. Like, Finral was having moments all the way back in Seabed Temple but she doesn't come up until the Royal Knights Exam. I really wish she'd been established sooner, that's all. I want more Finesse content essentially.

☘️ - I strongly believe she has Light Magic. We know it runs somewhere in the Kira family. Plus, I think the pressure to get her married and to sire an heir might be because she has such a rare and beloved magic attribute and the royal family wants that passed on.

🤝 - I’m pulling this straight out of nowhere but imagine Finesse having a friendship with Mereoleona. Mereo has the strength of body and character to be as free as she wishes. Imagine Finesse and Mereo sitting down for tea when Mereo is visiting civilization. Imagine Finesse listen in awe at Mereo’s many adventures in the wild. She’s jealous that she’s not as strong but she loves that Mereo is willing to sit down with her and indulge her curiosity about the world.

💎 - In your opinion, if Finesse had the strength to join a Magic Knight squad and wanted to be a knight (I honestly don't think she's be interested but this is just a hypothetical), which one would she go to?

Hiiiiyyaaa Erika!!! Oh! Finesse! Yes the sweet lady with blue eyes and a kind heart! She most definitely is under appreciated.

🍁- No but that is interesting. I've been rooting for King Nozel and Wizard King Fuegoleon, but Finesse as a Queen would be really interesting. Granted that we don't know enough about the line of succession or the Kiras (or Calmreichs for that matter) to say a lot. The fact that Auggie is eager to get her married does speak about her being very close to the throne, at least in my mind. I mean, why else would Auggie bother? The question is: Does Auggies consider her as a threat or not? XD /lh,hj However, this is a really interesting piece of trivia when it comes to Finesse.

🍂- You're right and you should day it! The fact that she is frail, and knows it, makes her action even braver, because she must've known that she had no real chance of stopping "Langris". And yet, she didn't hesitate. Because she's not the kind of a woman to stand idly by in the face of danger. Might not have been the smartest action to make, but sometimes the right things to do, are not the smart things to do.

Never thought I'd type such a sentence, but .. yeah.

🌼- Exactly! What strength she doesn't have in her body, she has in spirit. And she knows how much it must mean for both of the brothers, to see that they can be loved and are loved even with all their flaws, because everyone has them. Everyone has done wrong things in their life, and it doesn't mean that they don't deserve happiness as a result.

She has strength as most others.

🌻- Ah, the double edge of the sword of bravery. The pleading and talking to "Langris" like he was Langris, was probably out of desperation. I mean... if I was in that situation, I'd probably do the same. But as far as weaknesses go, this isn't a big one, even if it might be her greatest.

🌿- She is essential to the story, granted that it's through the Space Brothers, but it's difficult to place her into the picture because she just exists and she exists as a romantic interest. A part of me hopes that Tabs would give us something more to Finesse, put her in the spotlight because of something and explain more about her, but another part of me knows that she probably doesn't get addressed again.

Maybe that's be my complaint of her as a character too, that she just seems to exist as a romantic interest when there would be so much potential in her too. I mean... a compassionate and understanding Queen Finesse Calmreich when?

☘️- Now... would they have wanted her to marry Morgen in that case? Or would the whole "House of Faust" thing with the devils been too much to handle? Granted that then they might have had another asset (in devil power) very close to the thrown?

Regardless, that is a very good point about her magic to be something rare.

I'm even entertaining the idea of it being something that you'd want to combine with Spacial Magic to create something even more potent than Light or Spacial. What that might be, I'm not true. (Time anyone? XD ) Other than that, it's a bit difficult to say anything about her magic per se, granted that we don't know what it is.

🤝- As I read this, for some reason I imagined her sitting down with Nebra, but you're right. Mereo and Finesse would, perhaps, have a kind of mutual understanding that'd allow them to spend time together and catch up. They also are both the kinds of people who don't put others down to feel good about themselves. Mereo can be harsh, but she wants people to be strong.

So, I think any discussions Finesse has with Nebra might be a courteous get together between... royals.

💎- The Blue Roses, I think. She might not be so... averse to men as Charlotte, but I think that Finesse is a strong woman and someone who could portray a lot of the BRK ideals. My other choice would be the CLK, but I know I'm biased towards the Lions, and we all know that the Lions usually have very physically fit people. (Sorry Finesse.) So, I think that the BRK would be her choice.
