#it was really fun finally getting to make a game w my husband

[hcnnibal]

my husband and i made a game for A2’s birthday ahahahaa and you can play it here ->

show us your high scores!

[wings-of-ink]

Alright, everyone!

HERE ARE THE ASKS YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

Below the cut are the asks and my answers/responses. I do apologize for not answering these individually, but some of them contain spoilers for chapter 5 content. Given the developments and reveals of the chapter, I want to let things simmer a bit before I pop off responses like normal.

If my Nonies listed below want to pop back into the ask box and let me know they got their answer, I would appreciate that, but you don't have to either (or if you have an additional question or comment, that's fine too!). I will reblog this a few times to make sure you have a higher chance of spotting it.

I numbered the Asks and put my answers in another color so you can tell things apart a bit easier. This is a trial run on answering these this way. I will also tag things for spoilers. ^_^

Anon:  "There's a she-wolf in the closet" made me laugh so hard I cried sdfjglkjl I was not expecting that out of nowhere 🤣😭  the temptation to name the wolf Shakira...............immense.

I'm so glad you got that reference! My husband and I sing that song to each other with the little "awoos" and all, lol. It was too good to pass up. Fun fact, if you name her Shakira, Oswin has a unique response. 

2. Anon:  Hmmm. "I like the name Aster I'll probably use it again" HMMMMM hMMMMM hmmmMMMM Is this new Aster the ??? RO

Remembered that, did ya 😁 (I was quietly cackling when I wrote that for the old ask). You questioning Aster just makes me want to mess with you Nony, you can't tempt me like this! 

3. Anon:  Aster is so hawt, carressing our cheek w his thumb???? "i wont hurr you" pls let him be an ro bc gah damnnnn

Glad that did it for you, Anon, lol. There will be more of that in store. ^_^

4. Ravioli anon here, hope you remember me LOL I just finished reading the new chapter and I HAD A BLAST The whole gang in here now!!!!!! Aster is no longer question marks!!!! (I will admit when they were introcuded I almost, ALMOST expected their name in game to just be ???)

Hello Ravioli! Still chuckling about that I hope you know. The temptation was unreal to leave ??? in there, lol. At this point, even I know him more by that than his name!

Also to keep up with my perfect choice of names, my she-wolf is now named Der, because together we are Ravi and Der Get it, Ravi 'n Der. Consider this as a way to honor our dear grandma we were named after by our loving dads, you'll never be forgotten, you girlboss of a woman 

OMG, you are killing me over here, lol. This makes me want to code something for that, lol. Just your fathers shaking their heads at your MC while still being kinda amused and weirdly proud. Grandmother Ravinder would glare at you, but smile later.

5. @origamihoshi: Screaming about the necklace Oswin gives MC, my headcanon about MC wearing the snail shell as a necklace can now be canon! and I guess more reasons for my MC to be down bad for Oswin oops. I'm loving the update! I'm so happy to finally meet Rune, I love them so much! I wanna befriend them all. and I feel like there's been a good balance to spend time with all the characters so far and that makes me really happy. 😌Also cuddling with Zahn was so sweet oh my god, I love them so much too! I got so many more questions about MC and the curse, and the mark for that matter, looking forward to when we finally get some answers.

I very, very nearly told you that when you posted your MC, I was so ecstatic. I thought if you while coding that section too. I am so glad you enjoyed the new chapter and new goodies. Lots of fun stuff to come! ^_^

6. @mutsuowo:  HELP I NAMED THE SHE-WOLF ASTER BECAUSE I FIRST CALLED THE MULE YARROW AND NOW I HAVE NOT ONE, NOT TWO BUR THREE ASTER* GOING AROUND (I know one changed to Lakota but the joke that count)

Whoops! Lol Sorry my friend! I don't think any more Asters are hiding about at least. Probably….

7. @mutsuowo: I got spoiled of Aster's name by accident and even then I mistook it for being Lakota, so I thought somehow Lakota had a divorce and took the children to be an option romance with the MC. Cue to me acting like a variety game host and going "We have a cult member, a magician, childhood friends and also a wolf...what about you Aster ? What do you bring to make we choose you ?" The answer was being a DILF

Lol! Oh dear, yeah, bestie has a quarter-life crisis and leaves his wife and 4 kids to live that DILF life. Love it, this is some quality daytime TV stuff. 😆 

8. Anon:  Hello there! I am currently in the middle of the newest chapter, very very good work! Spoiler ahead : So MC is absorbing magic? That might actually help the theory that somehow MC is a god, demi-god, or whatever that is: cursed because they are on this plane and needing magic as a very part of their being? I can't imagine that a god wouldn't be starving for magic if deprived of it. Perhaps in GC it's not magic gods handle, but something similar? The fact that we CHOSE the mark truly makes me think that somehow we were choosing an aspect of ourselves for some reason. Not only something physical either. If not our domain, perhaps a tell of why we were cursed in the first place ? I wonder if, before the Curse manifested, MC would have been flagged as a magic being ? I don't think there was anybody that could have sussed them out back then though ? Rune is amazing, btw, big fan. Can't wait for Purple Lad to accompany us and need a bath as badly as Duri did !

Oooh, are you perhaps my Nony who sent some other theories in about this? Very juicy theory as well. Next chapter you'll learn a bit more about Hayat's curse over the gods and see if it lines up or changes your thoughts more. 😁 I'm glad you like Rune too! They are in for a new experience for sure. Even if they aren't as stuffy as other nobles, they definitely appreciate more refined things. The little town MC grew up in might be a bit of a culture shock. 

9. Anon:  Sooooo... I'm thinking we ARE the mad god ! A reincarnation of it at least ! Thinking about how the cult wanted us dead, I am thinking that as long as MC is alive, they can't have another incarnation of them.   But What exactly was it that drove the god mad ?

Oooh! This one is juicy too! These theories are so tasty! Lots of questions with this one. And like the one above, there may be some info in chapter 6 that may just give more evidence one way or another.

10. Anon:  Me on my first playthrough: oh, Oswin's pretty cute! I think I'll try romancing him first Me when I meet Zahn: oh no you can't just make me choose like that how am I supposed to do this Me when I meet Duri: are you kidding me. Ok screw it I'm romancing Duri Me when I meet Rune: FUCKAIJASJDSAAA Me when I meet ???: No reaction because I'm already combusted. I can't even anymore 

Lol! I am glad and maybe just a tiny bit sorry that you're so torn, my dear. Let's find some glue and get you patched up… ^_^

11. Anon:  HAVE THEORIES! NATHAN IS DURI'S UNCLE, AND ASS-TER -HE DESERVES THAT AFTER THE RING BUSINESS >:( - WAS RAISED BY THOSE ASSHOLES WHO ALMOST KIDNAPPED MC! (I am open to Asster endearing himself later, but I'm mad at him rn, how dare he hurt my already hurt, lovely, MC 😡😡😡) Anyway, your writing is impeccable as always, can't wait to (perhaps) bring Asster to his knees (with love or spite, or maybe both?? He seems like someone easy to love-hate, lol). Tysm, for God Cursed, I love it <333

Yaaass, moar theories! That's a good one too! Nathan having some secrets wouldn't be shocking either. They'd get along too… And it is totally fair for MC to be salty! And ASSter is a perfect nickname, lol. It's also fair that in chapter 6 you'll be able to (try to) get after him about it. :3

12. Anon:  TW SPOILERS ''There is nothing I want more than to hear you…hear you say what you- Nothing more… But for your own sake. Y/N, I'm a monster. I have been a monster. Your heart should be free of thoughts of me until you know what haunts my sleep at night. If you can do that for me and your heart does not change, then I will hear those words and I will spend the rest of my days showing you what you mean to me.'' UUUUHHMMMMM, EXCUSE MEE?????? LIKE THIS IS THE MOST-ROMANTIC-NON-LOVE-CONFESSION I HAVE EVER HEARD??? EVEN THOUGH IT BURNS ME TO NOT KNOW WHAT AFFLICTS OSWIN, AFTER HEARING THAT I'M WILLING TO WAIT FOR HIM.

I love that you love this! I might have cried juuuust a little bit when I wrote that scene, lol (shocking, I know).

13. Anon:  replayed the IF from the start for the update and gosh i felt so bad for our dear MC who has gone through SO much in a (relatively) short amount of time. and the way MC just always thinks about their fathers makes me sobbbbbb. one that always gets me is the scene where MC cried out for their fathers when they were in pain (my heart broke when they said they wanted to be held by their papa). another is in the scene with jasper and co. (‘i learned it from my fathers!’, yesss go MC!!!!). but oh, just imagining the absolute heartbreak the fathers would feel if they knew how MC cried out for them and knew about everything that MC went through, makes me tear up! MC is SO loved by their fathers and MC loves them just as much and i love that. i hope we’ll be able to give da and papa the biggest hugs when we see them again 🥹wonderful update, author! i absolutely adore the world you’ve built and the brilliant characters you’ve created (shout out to one my favs.. our new she-wolf friend <3)

I set out on this IF journey intending to be a bit hard on the MC and I think I succeeded, lol. It might be hard to believe but I really do love the MC as a character too and I feel for them. Hopefully not too hard, but they're on a journey of perseverance so I have faith in them. ^_^ That scene really tore me up too, especially thinking about how hard it would hit the dads to know their beloved kid was calling out to them. 😭 I am so glad you enjoyed the update, my dear, there will be great big dad-hugs in the future, I promise (and more than a few tears). ^_^

14. Anon:  idk if it's choice or route-specific but, zahn was NOT looking good at the end of chapter 5 and i'm worried 😟

Not route-specific (unfortunately???)…they're…going through some things. 😬 (sorry in advance)

15. Anon:  Hi, hi!! Dropping by to blabber about the update after i've finally had time to lose myself in it! (Oh no it got long again.) Okay, so, from the very moment i saw your intro post (over half a year ago, methinks) i decided to go for Rune's route first. I have been very patient, very faithful. And now i can finally say it was so, so worth the wait!!! they have me wrapped all around their beautiful noble finger; they're perfect, they are everything (i mean, how many people can say a literal god shows up for their birthday? yeah, thought so). I know they are no exception either and have their own share of issues, but honestly? that's even better. I wish i was kidding about the amount of times i daydream about them. Look at me now how i'm smiling like a stupid idiot. And the fact that i can make my MC an absolute shy mess around them is just so!! *chef's kiss* 

"Oh no it got long again" is like the tagline for my existence, lol. I am so giddy that you adore Rune! I think they've had less traction since they weren't introduced until now, but I also believe they are just the type of person that is better experienced. I enjoy writing all of the ROs, but Rune is such a presence in my heart and I really hope that comes through.

Also, did Duri seriously rat them out like that? Umm, for science, of what nature, exactly, are the books under Runey's bed?

LOL and I'm so glad you caught that bit about their "hidden literature." Rune LOVES romance novels, including the ridiculous smutty ones even if the plot is kinda bad.

Anyway, moving on, because you fed us so well with the story once again!! Can i just say i love your brain? Can i? Is that weird? Apologies. So!

You can totally say that, lol. I appreciate that you think so, my brain frustrates me sometimes, but I like how smooth it is. Very soft.

We learned so much in this update, and yet our answers are still too far to reach--but that's the whole fun about this! I'm thinking things, i'm suspecting, but i'll hold onto my theories for now… It is indeed very fortunate that each of MC's new friends can seemingly contribute a piece to this vexing puzzle; question is, is the picture only missing the very last piece, or are all four needed for it to be complete? I'm folding my hands and patiently waiting to find out in future updates. 

Oooh, you're speaking my language, Nony. There are some theories up above, maybe those will get your mind spinning too. That's a very good question though too. Eveyone seems to have something that might help MC out…so the question could be, do they go full Power Rangers and combine them to solve this problem or is one strong enough on their own? Hmmmmm? Time will tell.

One thing i will say is, more people may know about MC and their whole deal than Oswin may want to even consider. People with not the best intentions, that is.

I'm sure it's fiiiiiine. Probably just a…crazy…crazy fluke. It's fine. 😀

Speaking of, Oswin is so sweet! He cares so much i think it's rending him apart. Perhaps he should partake of Nathan's pipe every now and then. You know, for recreational purposes. Frankly i admit i don't know how mean you still can be to Oswin because every time there's a choice during his scenes i just tunnel-vision to the friendliest one there. It really makes me feel sorry for him if there are MCs out there who are still bitter about their relationship. As he was opening up about what kinds of actual horrors he witnessed and had to deal with in consequence, it really made me think MC's little group should, as a side-quest, go out and find him a therapist, because this guy *slaps him on the back* can fit so much trauma in him!

That's a good way to describe Oswin. He feels very intensely and those emotions are difficult for him to manage. I try not to be too mean to him, but I do want to try and give a decent variety of responses to the past tension for some MCs. Negativity there isn't a huge focus, so I try not to go too far down the rabbit hole with it at least, lol. A therapist is a great idea for him, for real. You cracked me up with that reference, I imagine Lakota trying to sell him to the MC, lol.

 I see Zahn has entered the trenches(TM). Just after i had them repeatedly stabbed in MC's place. And just after they finally got to cuddle with MC. This is fine. Not gonna lie, for a solid second you had me believe we wouldn't see them come back from that totally not evil or at least highly doubtful church of theirs, and that we'd had to leave without them. Haha, no waay. Lunan wouldn't do that to them, right? Right? Oh thank gods. See? I was right. Anyway, it seems like their character development arc is coming up soon, so i'm keeping calm and not cracking my knuckles, not at all.

Oh yes, there will be some development soon here. Tee hee?

Duri is so fun. Their playfulness is so endearing, so much so that i find myself repeatedly swayed in my decision to have them in a (now mostly) platonic relationship with MC. Simmer down, you'll have your turn. It had me rolling how they snapped once the bandits insulted their feet lmao! Also, also, their dynamic with Rune? Mmm, so good. I love the kind of friendship that's like "yeah i picked up this weird wet dog one day and now it won't leave me be and it's annoying, but only i'm allowed to say that. here, have a treat."

I love that you love that. Writing Duri is fun and I get to break some social norms with them so it's a win-win for us all. The relation to Rune is a blast.

Moving on, Duri sniffing MC after they talked with someone they didn't know; Duri immediately leaping at the opportunity to tease a jealous MC; Duri coming to MC's rescue to put a harasser in their place--they can't keep getting away with being so charming! Oh wait, they can. Human laws don't apply to them, after all.

Duri is already so loyal. Like a pup you picked up at the shelter, the connection is pretty quick for them. Also, if you didn't know, you can also get Rune to get defensive of MC being harassed in the tavern. Currently thinking of changing the code of that, but if you choose to stay neutral or a bit distrustful of Duri, Rune will get involved instead. Both have the confidence and the power to back it up though, can't go wrong.

And Aster? Something is up with him. Big time. Bost obviously, his name. I don't know, i don't know, i'm not convinced it's a coincidence or merely "fate." I'm watching you, Aster. Okay, and yes, i see why MC might need his help, but he never once elaborated on that part where he said he needs MC for power. Sooo, naah, i'm not putting my egg in your basket, not yet. Especially!! After he so brutally demonstrated just how much of a bigger hand he has over MC. That was evil. (In a good way.) He's unhinged, and i love that in a character. I would not trust him even with a cheese grater.

That may be wisdom here for sure, lol. Aster is quite the character, as are all of them I suppose. All have secrets he especially has some serious growing to do. He'll be an interesting addition - and a very smug one at that. Maybe juuuust maybe MC can get him to feel a little remorse for being an ASSter, to quote a previous ask, lol.

I almost thought MC's group of friends were going to mistake him for the kidnapper and everyone would want to throw hands, or would at least be very leery of him, so seeing how easily he slotted in had me a little surprised (and i think he was a bit surprised himself).

That very nearly happened actually. I cut it because of chapter length, and I'm thinking I want to polish the ending for that anyway. I feel like I was burnt out while writing that and I pushed it too fast. So, we'll see what happens in future….

I really, really liked the option of having MC be scared of him after he put a cork (dart) in Jasper's mouth (throat). The head tilt afterwards? Wiping away a stray tear? "Now come sit with me on my picnic blanket designer cloak to talk about how everything is drawn to you, including me?" "I'll need to study you?" Yes, i'll take your entire stock.

I'm glad you enjoyed your dessert, Nony. ;) There will be some serious studying in the next chapter.

Oswin being extremely quiet while MC was recounting their failed abduction because he was still recovering from those 6 panic attacks he had since finding MC's room empty and with signs of struggle.

THIS absolutely. MC may get an account of the experience later.

 i can't wait to see what the dads are going to say about each of MC's new friends! I can already imagine who might not entirely vibe with whom, especially if papa and da are going to be in a sour mood after they see my (feral despite being the healer of the party) MC scarred and sore despite their letters containing nothing but rainbows and sunshine (oops). MC's right, though, how are they going to house so many people lol.

This will be so much fun, especially when it comes to sleeping arrangements…A couple ROs will get themselves sorted but there's a couple that we might just get a "one bed" trope with, lol.

And last but not least, MC got the promised puppy!!! (i named her "Ginger" <33) 

Oh that is such a cute name too! She is kinda the color of ginger and she's also very gentle (ginger) AND she can be very spicy if you piss her off. Very gingery.

I have been here before and gushed about your writing on multiple occasions and i don't want to repeat myself over and over, so i'll just reiterate once more that i'm constantly blown away by how real and vivid you make everything feel. You're putting things down and i'm picking them right up, thank you, thank you, yup, i'll have that as well, thank you. You're painting pictures inside my head, and they're gorgeous and vibrant and moving now--hey, how did you even get in here? I'm convinced you're a mage. MC is not the mage here (yet?), but you sure are!! It's okay, you may fess up now. As always, thank you so much for all your hard work! May your holidays be full of joy and rest! Take care <333

I am so thankful that you resonate so much with my writing, my friend. That really truly makes my heart so glad and encourages me to keep at it. I hope each chapter brings you more and more enjoyment and adventure. ^_^

16. @rhiannon02:  IM SCREAMING OVER CH 5 LITERALLY SCREAMING ASTER ??? IM IM LOSING IT

Well, hang on dear, maybe I can help you find it, lol. (I heard that one in my soul) ^_^

That's all for now! ^_^

CELEB NEWS

Elizabeth Olsen was spotted, once again, on a 'date' with the mysterious Y/N. Olsen, 33, is married to Milo Greene band member Robbie Arnett, who was in Los Angeles at the time.

Olsen and Y/N were seen getting chummy at an ice cream parlor in New York City.

Not much is known about Y/N, as she seems to be very private despite being an Internet personality. She seems to get along well with the Marvel actress and her co-stars, as Y/N was also spotted hanging out with Brie Larson, better known as Captain Marvel.

•

"Shit."

I bit my lip as I read and re-read the article, again and again as if it would magically change before my eyes. Now, this was bad.

I sat in silence, staring at my phone clenched tightly in my hand. We really fucked up this time. I really fucked up this time.

Maybe if I just ignored it, it would go away, cease to exist, disappear.

My phone vibrated, a text message appearing at the top of my screen. Brie, obviously having seen the article, and god knows how many others, wanted to know what was going on. No wonder she was confused, I had been so adamant about keeping my relationship with Lizzie strictly platonic, that now that the lines were blurred, publically, I had a lot of explaining to do.

I scratched my head in frustration, hoping the sensation of my nails against my scalp would distract me from yet another mess I got myself into. Why did I have to go and screw everything up?

It's just a misunderstanding.

I finally replied to her, and it was true. It hadn't been a date and the flirting had just been innocent fun between friends. Now to explain this to everyone else.

What did it matter what the world thought anyway? Lizzie and I both knew what was going on. Rumors and gossip just came with the territory and it was something I had to get used to.

My phone went dim with inactivity and I sighed. I should be talking to Lizzie about this. She was the married one - she was the one who had the most to lose. Her marriage, her reputation was all at stake here.

The ringing of my phone caused me to nearly jump straight out of my skin. I took a deep breath and checked who it was before answering.

Lizzie.

Shit, shit, shit, okay, I could do this.

I cleared my throat and picked up, waiting a beat before finally speaking.

"Hello?"

"Y/N," she was crying. "We need to talk."

"Lizzie," I was panicking now. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

"Robbie and I had a fight."

I swallowed roughly, my stomach turning at her words. I could feel the bile of sick rising up my throat as I processed her words.

It was all my fault.

"Lizzie, I-I'm sorry." I was silent as she cried on the line. "I'm sorry."

"I told him we're just friends, but he doesn't believe me."

Of course he doesn't. He would have to be an idiot to ignore the signs of an affair, even an emotional one. But, we weren't having an affair of any kind. We were just very friendly with each other.

"I don't know what to do." I felt helpless.

"Just ... just talk to me."

"Okay." I breathed in. "I can do that. I can talk."

She let out a small, broken chuckle and I couldn't help my heart fluttering at the sound. Even at a time like this, I could still make her laugh - even if unintentionally.

"Where are you?"

"I'm home. I got home yesterday." She sniffled. "I just can't believe he won't listen to me."

"Give it time. You didn't do anything wrong." Right?

"But, it looked wrong. And now my husband doesn't trust me."

The sick that built up in my throat nearly shot out at the severity of her words. I was ruining her marriage by playing games with her. I couldn't do this. I couldn't hurt her like this.

"Lizzie ..." I could feel the tears burning the corners of my eyes, like pinpricks. "I need to go."

"What?" She sounded so small, so hurt.

"I don't think you want to ruin your marriage over someone like me."

"W-what? Y/N, no don't do this, please -!"

"Goodbye, Elizabeth. It's better this way. I promise you'll be happier."

"No, no, Y/N!"

I hung up. I couldn't bare to hear her like that, knowing it was all my fault and that I caused such trouble between her and Robbie. We were just friends. We were.

I brought up my text messages, tapping quickly on Brie's name and typing.

I'm an idiot. I was foolish to think I could be someone special to her. I was foolish to put myself in this position. I ended it. She needs her husband more than she needs me.

It sounded as if we were having an affair. God, it did look bad. I needed time to myself. I needed to get high. I had to forget everything and make all the pain and suffering go away, just for a little while.

What have you done?

I ignored the incoming call from Lizzie, letting it ring until it went to voicemail. I could do this all day if I had to.

I let her go.

My phone rang again, this time it was Brie.

"Hel-"

"What happened?" She cut me off, getting straight to the point.

"We were seen in an ice cream shop -"

"Yeah, I know that part."

I ignored her.

"- and now Robbie thinks she's having an affair."

"Isn't she?"

"No! She-she's not! She didn't do anything wrong."

"But you did?"

"Yes." My voice was small and broken.

"What did you do that she didn't?"

"I ..." What did I do? I wasn't even sure anymore. "I made her -"

"You made her what? See that you're a great, fun person to be around? That maybe you're someone she could trust?"

"It's all 'maybes', Brie!" I was tired. So tired. "Maybe I was just a fun little distraction - who knows!"

"Y/N, you're upset. I get that. But, pushing her away isn't the answer."

"Then what is?! What could be the solution to this fucked up mess?”

"Talking things out."

"I don't want to talk. I want it to go away."

"You're an idiot if you leave it like this." She warned, and I knew she was right. But, Elizabeth's happiness meant more to me than my own.

"Then I'm an idiot."

🩵 THE CHAMELEON 🩵

BI-HAN x B!F WIFE READER W/ FRIENDS

Summary: Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, Tomas, Johnny, Kung Lao, Kenshin, Liu Kang, Raiden are playing a game you brought from home for them to try. You believed they would have fun

Tags: Drama, competition, comedy, death-threat, fun & games

A/N: You thought it was a funny and bad idea

╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝╚══ஓ๑♡๑ஓ══╝

You had your husband and friends sitting at a round table in the dining hall. You brought over a box that said “CHAMELEON” on it.

You made yourself comfortable on your husband’s lap. Tying your locs up in a bun, so it won’t be in his face. Because standing all day with a big pregnant belly was straining.

“What is this Y/N?” Liu Kang asked curiously.

“This my good friend is the game Chameleon! It’s a fun game I play with my family. I thought it’ll be fun to share with you guys.”

“Ooh yeah, this game is definitely something.” Johnny smirked rubbing his hands together.

You smiled, “That’s the spirit Johnny, so I will do one play-through with you all. As I explain how the game works, before the kids and I prepare dinner tonight.”

“Ain’t it only supposed to be 8 players total?” Johnny looked at you.

“I’m sharing with Bi-Han.” Bi-Han’s grip around your waist tightened.

You opened the box, revealing a blue deck, a green card, and dices. You take everything out, shuffling the cards.

“So this is how it goes, the blue deck is a mixture of cards but you only get one. Doesn’t matter, the green deck will be explained later. Now out of this deck is a Chameloen, as a chameleon your are NOT to say your the chameleon. You are supposed to blend with the other players, it’s literally to see who’s lying amongst the group. Make sense?”

It was silent, before you sighed, “It’s better if we start playing as I explain along the way.”

You gave everyone there card, luckily you had the chameleon card. You whispered something in your husbands ear, he nodded and you proceeded to explain.

The green cards are the topic cards each topic has the letters and numbers that matches what they have, on there blue cards. Which ever # they role, will be the topic of discussion. And the chameleon has to figure out what the secret topic is to not be revealed.

And if the wrong person is picked as a chameleon then the actual chameleon wins the game. Because there lie was just that good. But the players can’t make there answers too obvious, as to not reveal it to the chameleon.

“These look slightly different from the original, the topics?” Johnny pointed out. There very few from his world, but ones the others would still know.

“Yea I know, I had a friend help me. Make like an outworld edition, while keeping topics of earth in there. That others could know, just to be fair.”

You were happy the game was going smoothly, you thought it’ll be chaotic. But you guessed it’s because the play-through had explanations, for them to get a feel.

You were caught as the chameleon, which you intended to help explain the final info. “Now when then chameleon is caught. I have the chance to do what Johnny?”

“If the chameleon can guess the topic we had, then she wins.”

“Correct! But sense I legit don’t know. It’s y’all win, and that’s how the game goes. Does it make sense now?”

Everyone nodded, “Awesome! I will comeback and play with you all again. Once I’m done with everything.

You slowly got up, with your husbands help you have him a sweet kiss thanking him.

“Wow isn’t that like your tenth child.” Johnny laughed at you making a joke, in all actuality this would be your fourth child.

“Johnny really?” Kenshin looked at him.

“Naw Kenshin don’t say nothing, because one thing I know is that Johnny on his tenth bitch. Which was on the news, at least I can keep a nigga.” You walked a way with a smirked, after shutting Johnny up. Kung Lao, Tomas and Kenshin were holding back laughs. The others just smirked as Johnny rolled his eyes.

You hoped leaving the boys alone were alright. You quickly went the market in outworld, to get ingredients for dinner.

You didn’t have the energy to travel all the way to your world and back while pregnant. And you wanted to hurry back, in case things got out of hand with the others.

You’ve been wanting to do a bonding game with everyone for awhile… At least you think it’s a bonding game, you didn’t think they could make a game like chameleon toxic… Could they?

You quickly gather the ingredients with the help of your personal Lin Kuei guard, and rushed back to cook in the kitchen. With both your daughters and son.

As you all were preparing and cooking, you heard certain sounds. All the way in the hall area, but didn’t think much of it and continued about in the kitchen.

The Chameleon: Johnny

“Alright, remembering what Y/N said. I will just go first… I will say training.” Liu Kang gave his answer, trying his best not to give it away or be to vague.

“I would say Talent.” Johnny said.

“Practice.” Kung Lao said.

“Is that not the same thing as training?” Kuai Liang questioned.

“That is somewhat the same Kung Lao.” Tomas interjected.

“Ughh fine umm… Determination, then.” Kung Lao gave his new answer.

“Hmm, this is somewhat hard without giving it away…” Raiden was thinking.

“Stalling makes you look suspicious.” Johnny stated leaning back with his hands behind his head.

“So is pressuring others to quickly respond Johnny!? Let him think, there isn’t a timer on this game.” Kenshin retorted.

“Hey I’m just saying, I’m already debating my vote.”

“I got it! Upbringing.” Raiden finally said his.

“Tyrant.” Kenshin said his.

“Pfft yeah good one.” Johnny said under his breath.

“You got something to say!?” Kenshin slightly stood up, before Liu Kang gently pushed him back down.

“Umm, what about Tournament.” Tomas said, “That is a very good one Tomas.” Liu Kang praised him.

“Born.” Kaui Liang gave his.

“Lin Kuei.” Bi-Han said for this.

“That is the most vaguest shit I have ever heard out of all these lame ass answers.”

“If you have a problem with it STARBOY! Keep it to yourself! Your answer is not any better!” Bi-han stood up glaring at Johnny.

“Brother let’s just calm down, it’s just a game.” Kuai Liang tried to calm his brother.

“I say we should start voting, even though a lot of these answers aren’t that great. Kenshin and Bi-Han has the worst ones.”

“What!” Bi-han and Kenshin said in unison.

“You are full of shit Johnny, your answer being Talent, is way out of character compared to all our responses!”

“Hey my response, makes more sense then most! You’re upset, because you’d get caught!” Johnny yelled explaining.

“If I’m being honest… Kung Lao’s answer, makes me skeptical.” Raiden spoke up.

“Ooh really now!?” Kung Lao looked at his friend

“Everyone let’s just calm down. We must let everyone speak one at a time.” Liu Kang intervened

“You’ve been talking non-stop, you made yourself suspicious from the beginning! I say Johnny is the so called Chameleon!”

“Are you fucking kidding me! The mister all things Lin Kuei! Couldn’t come up with anything else in his vocabulary! Seems very suspicious to me, I say he’s the Chameleon!”

Bi-Han was about to attack Johnny, his brothers holding him back. As everyone kept arguing back and forth.

You almost finished cooking for dinner, but then you heard loud crashes and yelling.

You quickly went to the dining hall as fast as your big belly allowed. You saw there were things broken, fire and ice everywhere. Liu Kang between Johnny, Kung Lao, and Bi-Han, Raiden, Kuai Liang, and Tomas.

“Seriously guys!” You shouted getting there attention. You literally was dying inside from laughter, holding your mouth from having it come out.

“You are the only people I know in the universe that can make a fun family game THIS toxic.”

Everyone calmed down a bit, so to not get you caught up. “So no one is getting any dinner, tell y’all clean this damn mess up… Since you can’t play together, you will clean together.”

You walked away smirking shaking your head.

It only took them thirty minutes to finish, once they were done. You had your friends join you and your family for dinner.

It was a nice dinner and after everything calmed down. They laughed at how they reacted, you could tell Bi-Han was still slightly irritated. So you quickly gave him a kiss when no one was looking.

“I’m glad you all realized how ridiculous y’all were acting. I probably should’ve stayed, but don’t worry. For our next bonding game…” You quickly went to your room and came back with a deck of cards.

“Wanna do UNO next?” You grinned, they only just looked at you.

A/N: Can you imagine the chaos when these people play earth games. The shit would be hilarious.

I might make a writing series out of this, of this group playing games you suggest from your world, if y’all would like that.💅🏾

Chapter 49: The last day

Last night was a blast you & the boys stuffed your faces full of so many different dishes & desserts all whilst enjoying each other’s company & giving some sisterly advice to all three of them. Giving Lucas tips of how to deal with Billy’s attitude & Mike advice on how to approach El with his dilemma & hyping up dustin for when school goes back. When you all met the rest of the group at the arcade their faces beet red from all the fun and laughter & finally being able to wrap your arms around your husband letting your body melt into his. Everyone getting change to go play games you & Eddie finding a table to sit at as he got some snacks for everyone & a pitcher of soda & beer all while filling you in on all the fun you had laughing along with all the antics they got into today. From afar Gareth is watching you both laughing & having an amazing time just in each other’s company his heart swells. It’s all he ever wanted for the both of you. Like a higher power got two birds with one stone. Knowing you both have had abusive fathers & both of you losing the only light that kept the dark corners not so scary at times. Life taking away your mothers but somehow still finding the true meaning of unconditional love in each other & bringing along new life with it. He starts thinking when will it be his turn. Only time will tell but for now he’s happy that the two people he considers family found love in each other & you both bring out the best in one another. Being both of your friends for so long he himself can’t even believe how far you’ve all come. A sense of pride in everyone makes him stand a bit taller as he walks outside to catch a cigarette & have a moment to himself.

*Flashback to earlier while out w boys* Getting harnessed up at the parasailing adventure Jeff decides him & freak are gonna pair together leaving Eddie & Gareth to pair on another. Chuckling they’re all getting suited up & checking out all the boats going by “Jesus H Christ this thing is squashing the family jewels man” Gareth laughs “yeah seriously it’s like a front wedgie from the depths of hell” both laughing an instructor comes & hands them pads for the lower straps to help prevent them from further hurting their no no squares (sorry lol) Eddie sighs with relief “Oh thank god I was starting to get worried because if it hurt now imagine up there hanging in the air it’d totally smash my junk these pad things are a lifesaver” him & gareth laugh as they finish buckling the last of their gear on the instructors come over & see who wants to go first jeff looks like he’s shitting bricks so Eddie & Gareth offer to go first gareth turns to look at Eddie “you ready bro?” “Let’s fuckin do this man” they high five & the boat starts off at warp speed Eddie & Gareth’s feet just barely skimming the water as the ascend into the air. Both checking out their surroundings taking everything in as the boat speeds up even faster & their parachute starts to raise even higher they really have a good look at the island in it’s entirety & it’s absolutely breathtaking they look at each other again laughing & Gareth’s the first to break the silence “So what’s it like to be a married man now?” “It’s probably one of the best things that’s ever happened in my life I’m not going to lie Jamie is the best thing that’s ever happened to me besides the day Wayne came to save me & took my ass in” “Jamie’s the best sister figure I’ve ever had & you both deserve to be happy with all the bullshit you’ve both been through but i still have to be big brother too so you treat her right Ed she’s an amazing person & i care about you both but if you ever hurt her in anyway I’ll kick your ass” chuckling eddie replies “Man I love her more then I loved anyone to be honest there’s just something about her that drawls you right in I knew from the beginning I wanted her to be mine forever i just had to let her know that I meant what I felt she had so many walls built from her dads abuse I’m just happy to have her & if I ever see that shit stain im gonna break his in two" Gareth sighs "dude you don't know the house of it he's an evil sack of shit I've only witnessed it twice and even that is two times too many" "wait what happened?" "Look I shouldn't be telling you any of this because I promised so I'll tell you about the last time but you gotta swear to keep it between us got it?" Eddie nods eagerly "one time she called the house looking for my mom but by the time mom got to the phone nobody was there she calls back & the line is disconnected so we all pile in the car to go make sure she's alright get there no answer at the door so we went inside it was a fucking disaster in there glass everywhere spots of blood my dad run around looking for her mom's calling her name nothing still until we heard a smash sound from upstairs we all go up & that's when we heard her dad yelling he said you think no food is bad now you get no bed either & kicked her in the face I never saw my dad get physical with anyone until that day he had her dad in a headlock while me & mom rushed her into the car" “Jesus H Christ he’s more of a fucking dickwad then I thought” “she stayed with us for two weeks she went to grab more clothes one day when she thought her dad was at work but little did she know he had the whole house packed beat her real bad & made her go with him & moved took us years to find her again mom was a wreck her aunt was a wreck shit even I was a mess it was like I was robbed of a sister and best friend” gareth notices four waiving figures from the beach & laughs pointing Eddie looks in the direction he’s pointing in and starts to laugh too both waiving back arms wide Eddie yells “I love you beautiful!!” Gareth chuckles

“Nice try dude we’re too high up she can’t hear us” both laughing taking in the moment “she looks even more beautiful pregnant” “I can’t wait to be an uncle”

Present time their time

Gareth watches Eddie & Jamie throw fries at each other laughing with so much love in their eyes he’s truly happy for you both but really wants what you both have but for now he’ll take his two favorite people finding the best things in life with each other & feels grateful to play part in it.

Shows I finished in 2024 so far...

A Good Day to be a Dog - A woman accidentally kisses her co-worker and turns into a dog during the night due to a family curse. She has to get her co-worker to kiss her as a dog to break stay human full-time or she will permanently remain a dog after 100 days. The first two-thirds were fun hijinks and a cute romance. The final third with the past life curse origin was a drag. Still upset the mountain god didn't apologize after wrongly punishing the wrong people due to his misunderstanding.

My Demon - A high powered business woman becomes entangled with a deal-making demon when she saves him and his powers transfer to her. This show stole plot heavily from shows like Goblin and Doom at Your Service and failed to do make those concepts their own. However, I still enjoyed it to the end, mostly due to the chemistry between the leads. They had such a fun and lively relationship.

The Story of Park's Marriage Contract - A Joseon-era bride who is widowed on her wedding day is transported to the future where she falls for a man who looks exactly like her dead husband. The story was okay but I was mainly here for the chemistry between the leads.

Fixer Upper: Hotel - Chip and Jo work their magic on an entire hotel. I love seeing the process and the design is beautiful as always.

Memorist - A detective who can see people's thoughts when he touches them teams up with a genius profiler to take down murders. As mysteries unfold and truths are revealed, everything is not as it seems forcing them to confront their traumatic pasts. I binged this in 4 days. The first half is dark but, just when I thought I had the villains pegged, the story opens up to explore the various sides of people to reveal the good, the bad, and the morally grey. I'm still thinking about this months later. I especially loved our detective/profiler team. I really want to rewatch.

Be Melodramatic - This a satire on the entertainment industry, grief, motherhood, and love that is done with 100% deadpan humor which is why I thought the concepts were interesting but fell flat due to not connecting with the humor. This took me almost 9 months to finish.

Death's Game - A man kills himself and then is given 12 chances to survive in someone else's body or he will be sent to hell. It's an anti-suicide version of A Christmas Carol. It was okay. While a host of great actors shine in their guest roles, it was maddening that the man didn't seem to learn along the way until the last body. Where the story ended felt like a copout. If this were a movie where you don't have much time, I would understand, but I wanted to see what would happen next. We needed just one more episode.

Marry My Husband - A woman with terminal cancer is murdered by her husband and best friend who were having an affair, when she is transported back in time before she was married to change her fate and find the love she deserves. This was such a great revenge story. Some of the best villains in kdramaland. A cute romance with a man who adores her. Real friendships. And the OSTs will stick with you.

Queen of Divorce - It started off okay but went downhill quickly. Honestly, such a waste of a great cast.

Daisy Jones & The Six - An interesting look at a fictional 70s rock band as they rise to the top before flaming out. I had listened to the audiobook but I liked the series better.

Doctor Slump - Two young doctors who were academic rivals in high school find themselves grappling with depression and fall in love as they heal together. This was a solid, even keel show for me. I enjoyed their healing journey and their romance.

Live Your Own Life - An outcast chaebol whose parents died in a mysterious car crash falls for his hardworking trainer who needs to learn to become independent from her family. I watched this 50-episode family drama for Ha Joon. There were some interesting things that kept me watching but it was just okay.

Princess Hours - The crown prince and a young artist, who are both high school seniors, navigate the complexities of an arranged marriage and court politics in modern day Korea. This was a really interesting study in how people can change and grow and fall in love as they grapple with the expectations of a nation. It's an old school kdrama and alot is meant to be inferred. It's almost as much about what is not shown or said as much as what is which was frustrating at times. However, when someone explained things, everything started to click for me and I saw all the things that were implied increasing my enjoyment.

Wedding Impossible - A gay chaebol asks his best friend to marry him to hide his sexuality from everyone. His brother who wants him to marry someone else for his own good decides to break them up by seducing his brother's fiance. It's a ridiculous premise with a fun, bickering enemies to lovers couple. It lags a bit in the last part but I still enjoyed this romance. Moon Sang Min is a new fave.

High School King of Savvy - A high school hockey player is asked by his older brother to pretend to be him at his job as a corporate executive while he investigates something nefarious. The high schooler then has to juggle both school and work life as he unexpectedly falls for his brother's secretary. This is a crazy, age-gap romance with Seo In Guk. The only reason the romance works is because both the leads are so pure hearted and kind. Lee Soo Hyuk is doing his best sexy, self-sabotaging second male lead, who even smiles! It was a bit much but it settled down in the second half and I loved the big found family feel of the cast.

The Smile Has Left Your Eyes - The first half was interesting with many characters’ selfish and dark intentions mixed with a little mystery were set up in contrast to our optimistic, self-sacrificing female lead. However, the second half drowned in major events happening and then being dismissed as if they never happened, multiple secret keepers refusing to tell the secret multiple times an episodes even when asked point blank when the answers could stop so many bad things from happening, and the existential dread I felt about what the big reveal was going to be only for it to completely dismissed. I knew this was a tragedy going in but still I felt angry and exhausted by the end.

Vigilante - A police university student decides to take the law into his own hands after his mother's murderer is let back on the streets to avenge her and other's like her who have been failed by the justice system. A manhunt for him ensues, bringing together an unlikely and at times unhinged group who decides to reveal the truth and bring justice. At 8 episode (six hours total), it felt like it was just starting to gel by the end. Definitely set up for more potential seasons after Nam Joo Hyuk gets out of the military.

Love Me Love Me Voice - A newer voice actor and singer is one day noticed online by her secretive voice acting idol and a whirlwind courtship begins. These are the sweetest, kindest people ever. I love how the dramatic readings and song performances are seamlessly woven into the story. Multiple romances, great friendships, mouthwatering food, and beautiful locals. This is a feel good story of first love.

incredible chaser game w moments (part 2) up to & incl. episode 4

the most homophobic breakup you've ever seen. just, unholy behavior. on fucking god itsuki i know you had good intentions but you're the worst for doing it like that !!!!!!!!! at least let her down easy !!!!! if i was 22 and my gf of 4 years did that to me i'd fucking go insane as well

the elevator stopped working ➡️ you are trapped in with the person you hate ➡️ you are forced to sit it out and face your fears together, ultimately bringing you closer both emotionally & physically. i love this trope and i didn't know i needed it here, but it was great. step 1 to the meowmeow-ification of fuyu complete

my prediction of itsuki running into & taking care of little tsuki and the two of them then being found by fuyu, resulting in an awkward and heartbreaking scene, came true exactly like that. i think this scene was genuinely so well done and well acted, it broke my heart. i think this was the scene that really got me to say Damn, I'm invested in this now...

^ I'm still waiting for Itsuki to bring up the similar names in conversation though. like you need to talk about that

"ohhh harumoto-san, so you're part of that team?" - itsuki (sweating in closeted lesbian): "huh? what? n-no, of course not- I'm--" - "Don't worry, it's all good, we're all into BL too!!!" ➡️falsely coming out as a yaoi fangirl to your coworkers to avoid having to talk about your own sexuality. LMAO

^ this scene only being a setup so fuyu can be homophobic on main is what makes it even funnier

why. in every gods name. would you go to your boss' home address. why on earth would you do that. at least itsuki was self-aware about it too. girl you are SO unwell

every time fuyu has kissed itsuki of her own initiative, it has been when she was drunk... can we remedy that for future episodes, please? not that consent has been an issue, their mutual feelings are obvious, but i think she should be making a move when she doesn't have any liquid courage in her. step up your fucking game, fuyu

"she's a classic tsundere, after all" - fuyu, who has been severly harassing her subordinates at work (again, there seems to be no HR department at this company) being written off as a "tsundere" by the rest of the team - I mean, you're not wrong, but you should still file a complaint against her.

fuyu's husband Kouu is the nicest man on earth. my man doesn't deserve ANY of this. he even calls her dongyu. he even calls his wife by her real fucking name like the bar is so low

fuyu treats him so badly too, man, i genuinely felt bad watching it. were the 5 years of marriage all like this? was he always just a means to you getting your revenge? i'm sick. i hope they can make up by the end of the show and have a real conversation about their feelings and relationship.

that aside, i do have some theories on kouu, his disappearance, and his own feelings as well, but i'm keeping that to myself atm...

fuyu & itsuki keep having insanely homoerotic moments in front of god and everyone on earth, I'm starting to believe the only person with a gaydar in this company is the photographer from the other office. the fact that you two haven't been found out yet is honestly a massive plot hole (lmao)

has itsuki eaten anything else but sweets (cake, in particular?) on screen yet? apart from the homemade meal at the hayashi's, whenever there's a scene of her alone or with her grandma, she's always eating cake. i wonder if it will come up at some point, but it's just something i noticed. no shade though girl i'm also (almost) 27 and if you wanna eat cake for dinner alone at home I'm your nr1 supporter

i'm never a fan of the trope of a bilingual character breaking out into their native tongue for swearing or just randomly, but it is fun that only fuyu does it and that all the other chinese characters just don't speak mandarin at all. and i'm happy they actually cast a bilingual actress for fuyu!

episode 4 was the mid-series finale, and it definitely showed. this was the best episode so far by a pretty significant margin imo.

the. silent pleading fuyu puts on to make itsuki stay at the hayashi house. the most fucking 🥺*twirling my hair cutely* AND IT WORKS TOO BECAUSE ITSUKI IS JUST AS INSANE AS YOU ARE

i would like to talk about the best scene of this show yet. i really wished it was longer and was given even more weight. in episode 4, fuyu & itsuki are sitting in the living room together at night, so far apart that they're completely out of each other's camera shots even. i found this to be the most interesting scene so far. there was genuine tension in the shot composition, the acting, the complete absence of music. just silence and their voices. "after all, it was all my fault, wasn't it? that we ended up like this?" fuyu still deep down believes that she was the reason their relationship failed. she wasn't enough, because she's fuyu, because she's a woman. she still thinks that. my heart fucking broke in two

their fight after fuyu came back home drunk was so funny. especially with their height difference... hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

after finally learning the truth about their break-up, fuyu is absolutely devastated. "you valued your promise to my mother more than the one you made to me?" just completely broken. after all this time sitting with these unresolved emotions, feelings of guilt and deep shame, only for that to be the reason? I feel so bad for her

the mutual love confession!!!!! i'm honestly a bit surprised it came so early, i thought they were just going to sleep together and not talk emotions first. but i'm not gonna complain (i just love mess) i'm also devastated that itsuki used suki while fuyu used the word aishiteru. my friends it's so bad for me right now (and them)

did. they. fuck. on. the. floor. in. the. living room.

i hope so because 1) hot and 2) although i'm still unsure as to the exact room situation of the hayashi household, don't they all have one shared bedroom??? isn't the bedroom that they're in after they've had sex (hopefully in the living room) the same one we've previously seen, where the kid also sleeps????? WHERE WAS THE KID ITSUKI. WHERE. WAS. THE. KID. WE KNOW SHE'S WITH YOU BECAUSE THAT WAS THE WHOLE REASON YOU STARTED FIGHTING!!!!!

if you had sex while your kid was sleeping soundly in the same room i'm sending both of you to superhell. i'm praying you guys just have a totally identical bed in another room. please.

if it wasn't the same bed we've previously seen from tsuki's room, that means you guys fucked in the marriage bed, which is only slightly less gonna get you sent to superhell.

in any case, happy lesbian sex to them. i know neither of you have known the touch of a woman in the past 5 years so it was probably intense. drink a lot of water in episode 5, alright? jesus.

it was also quite funny that the scriptwriter for the show tweeted out a few hours before this episode aired that "itsuki has always taken the leader position in their relationship" and that "you should watch episode 4 with this in mind" and we were all like. oh so you're telling me that fuyu is a bottom? you're telling me water is wet? fork found in kitchen??????

their lil afterglow convo in bed was just perfectly sweet. 1 point to fuyu, now presumably much more sobered up, for having the courage to ask if itsuki's gonna stay the night after all. girl you don't have to ask. i think she's ready for another 12 rounds. she's not going anywhere.

the line delivery of the "alright" (i'm gonna stay) oh my god. oh my god... oh. oh.

the meowmeow-ification babygirl-ification of fuyu is now complete

in the preview for ep5, fuyu is wearing a mixture of white and black clothes. girl... it was that good, huh?????

in conclusion:

i had a lot of thoughts on this one and i've found great joy in going deep into the twt tags for it as well. and i'm glad to see many japanese sapphics also being super vocal about the show. it's really interesting to read and interact with that side of the fandom i haven't really seen in this capacity for a (lesbian) live action show yet. i see people slowing down & brightening up footage to analyse who's taking each other's clothes off first, people just posting close-ups of Yuuka's hands, people going into Yurika's past filmography to dig up ancient clips of other sapphic roles she's played (of which there seem to be actually quite a lot?). i love to see it lmao. on a more serious note, it makes me happy to see sapphics from so far away expressing themselves similarily to myself or my other lesbian friends. it's cute!! as for cgw, part b of the series is gonna be intense, and i'm especially curious to see how they're gonna do the inevitable breakdown of fuyu again. my girl is so deep in the trenches, her temporary being on cloud 9 right now is gonna be short-lived and i want to see it happen. i hope she can really stand up for herself and make things right after all!

[lorillee]

ok time for lorillee to talk about yakuza 5. Instead of studying for her finals. Forewarning this got a lot longer than i was anticipating

first and foremost. even with my beef with what they did w majima ive gotta be so honest i think this is prob my 2nd favorite yakuza game.

^insane statement from girl who literally will not shut up about that man but i had suuuuuuuch an insanely fun time with the majority of this game like its honestly crazy.

that being said we're going to go ahead and get the elephant in the room out of the way first.

its actually like bonkers crazy insane how little they elaborated on majima and parks relationship especially given the fact that we got the bomb dropped on us that majima was literally MARRIED for some period of time?????????????????????

^like theres a lot i could say on this and actually you know what theres a lot i AM going to say on this. because the entire thing is just actively ridiculous

the really interesting thing about majimas role in this game is hes on screen for approximately like 8 minutes total probably. well maybe 10 if we're being generous. but hes like integral to pulling 75% of the plot together because of all the nonsense hes been pulling in the background/his relationships with a bunch of the major players. hes kind of like everybodys dead wife simultaneously

and like his lack of screentime isnt really hurting much of the suspension of disbelief wrt kiryu and saejima because for the former we've only had 4 other games of them interacting and Well saejima is literally majimas sworn brother like neither of these are relationships we really need to be sold on in the first place, and additionally for saejima we get those like 6-7 minutes at the beginning of his story to set the scene for their relationship in this game. so its fine we're chilling.

but with park & katsuya & majima its like. Well frankly they give us jack all to work with. our entire understanding of any of the dynamics going on here is like a handful of lines giving only a bit of information what was going on between park and majima at the very end of their relationship from park herself, and then a brief recap of the trio's general relationship third hand from that random guy. the lack of effort going into developing anything here is almost laughable

like park and katsuyas relationship even though its not terribly elaborated on 1) still gets something from katsuya himself and 2) is easier to digest because these characters are being introduced at the same time. like theyre both new so saying omg they were totally besties is like Ok sure got it.

but we have known majima for approximately four games now and neither of these people have been brought up in any capacity and youre telling me theyve been involved in his life for a minimum of twenty years???????? Give me a break. like obviously majima is insanely cagey so its not really much of a surprise that we the audience dont know this but because of the complete lack of elaboration it feels insanely shoehorned and frankly borderline unbelievable

we dont get like a single on-screen word from majima on either of them. we have literally no idea how he and park even met in the first place, god forbid started dating. the relationship is barely even justified within the text.

^and again we circle back to one of my biggest gripes with this series ever: COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna be so insanely honest with you there was literally no reason to make majima park's husband and given the astounding lack of effort on the text's part to justify anything going on here i really dont feel bad saying this. like her husband literally coudlve been any random shmuck off the street and her relationship with majima could have been the same as katsuya's.

like because its not like the letter was even real. it was literally a decoy so theres actually no reason for them to have been estranged for like 20 years they literally couldve had a normal platonic relationship and absolutely nothing wouldve changed. But because this is yakuza the writers will actually shoot themselves before not having one of their main characters be in a romantic relationship of some sort we dont get those sorts of luxuries

additionally lowkey besides the fact that theyre allergic to letting majima be on screen for more than 15 minutes per game i honestly feel like if they had actually spent any more time dealing with all the insane implications of this relationship and what we know about it they wouldnt have been able to justify it being majima so they just chose to force him into the role they needed him be in for the story to work the way they wanted it to and then decided not to elaborate legitimately any further. Because his ass would not be doing any of this.But whatever

Unrelated but given that park is kind of a no nonsense woman i literally do not know how she stood his ass to begin with because hes literally one of the most annoying people on planet earth. But this is neither here nor there

anyways in the end because this entire thing just pisses me off im glad we got legitimately absolutely nothing in terms of meat to this relationship so i can join everybody else apparently in mostly kind of just pretending it doesnt exist. But as something of a storytelling enthusiast the laziness is truly appalling.

EDIT: ok actually sorry its been a handful of days and i saw a reddit screenshot that pissed me off so bad im actually 10000% willing to acknowledge this relationship because Like sorry but get real majima is not the victim in this relationship he had literally not a single bit of business marrying a barely legal teenage idol. if i ever see a reddit man talk about park i think im going to attack him theough the screen

whatever lets talk about something i actually enjoyed instead. namely; THE REST OF THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok i was hating on her at the beginning of the game but highkey i actually quite like park i think shes a really fun and interesting character - like ok her relationship with haruka is soooooooooo so interesting because. lets be so honest she kind of sucks. she's actively manipulative and has a strong tendency to steamroll over everybody else to get what she wants and has honestly kind of very little concern of how everybody else feels if she thinks shes doing the right thing.

she blatantly projects her own dreams onto haruka and like no ok because its actually reaaaaaally intereesting because at the end when haruka gives her little speech its revealed that she hoped to make it big as an idol specifically to support morning glory. Like she straight up does not even give the implication that she became an idol for the love of it she became an idol to relieve the financial burden of the orphanage.

which is kind of insane because at the beginning park's justification for driving kiryu out of running morning glory was that he was preventing everybody else from being able to follow their dreams because theyre all too concerned about the money situation and are willing to sacrifice what they want to do in the future to keep what they have.

like park's whole reason for recruiting haruka and kicking kiryu out of her life was so that haruka could follow her dream...... But its not even haruka's dream because haruka's underlying goal in all of this was literally just to keep morning glory from closing its doors. its literally just park's dream and she literally knows it because when she's trying to motivate haruka at the beginning of the haruka story she literally threatens to shut down the orphanage if haruka doesnt sweep this whole competition.

and like this isnt to say that park does not care about haruka - its pretty well established i think that she does and seriously sees haruka as the daughter she could never have. But also because she was actively abused as a child and whatever was going on with her relationship with majima (which frankly from the little we heard and if nothing else implication of the ages they met at. Does not sound good at all) she actively does not know how to have a normal functioning relationship.

so even though she loves haruka as her daughter she's also actively manipulative and projects literally all of her baggage and dreams and problems into her. and because haruka is desperate for any sort of connection after having been isolated from her family and her father and community and has really wanted an older sister/mother figure she views park as a mom in turn. which is based as hell i love found family that sucks

anyways so tldr park is an insanely fun character and if anybody other than me says anything bad about her ill kill them I LOVE MENTALLY ILL WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry we're literally not even talking in order anymore whatever its fine. anwyays i actually super adore harukas entire story in this game and it makes me sick that theres people out there that dont. But theyre also like reddit men so its really not even worth commentating on

anwyays it actually kind of makes me want to start attacking people how haruka and kiryu's stories parallel each other in the sense that like. i dont really know how to explain it but in short it goes that obviously kiryu's profession of choice would be Well being in the yakuza. as we have established multiple times previously and continue to re-establish over the course of the game. hes dragged back into it time and time again to the point where its almost actively contrary to common sense that he keeps leaving after whatever event he came back for concludes. But even though he'll always be yakuza at heart he still chooses to turn away from the tojo because theres something else more important to him and its haruka and the rest of the kids at morning glory.

and similarly, regardless of the fact that her underlying motivation was the financial support of the orphanage, its pretty clear that haruka really enjoys her work and life as an idol and very likely would have continued down that path as a career, but in the end gives it up because it would require her to permanently cut off kiryu and he'll always be more important to her than anything this career would have to offer. anyways it literally makes me sick i love u guys so much

ok lets actually take a step back for a second here to talk about the more overarching stuff

overall id say this is definitely following the trend of increasing writing quality in these games just like in terms of pulling together a largely coherent storyline. i talked a lot more about this in my y4 review so i wont bother repeating the details of it here but in short by introducing multiple concurrent storylines theyre able to cut down on a bunch of the bloat, but again obviously there are pretty notable downsides to this like having to tie everybodys plot together in a way that makes sense and having more threads than you have time to elaborate on or wrap up. so we kind of winsome and lose some but overall i think we're winning a lot more

im gonna be honest im kind of baffled tanimura did not show up like even at all. crazy because we literally gave him the final boss battle last game and youre telling me we're bringing back everybody else from y4 in terms of main characters except for him? Not super complaining bc i wasnt terribly attached but its still a bit weird i think

in terms of his replacement . honestly i feel like shinada was the weakest link in the narrative cohesiveness because his entire shtick lowkey feels incredibly removed from everybody else's. like his story is really important narratively in terms of like the discussion on dreams But functionally he's kind of holed up in his own little world

^additionally on this point i think the lack of connection to majima is not helping here because like i said at the beginning of this post his nonsense is the glue holding 75% of this plot together in terms of kiryu/saejima/haruka&akiyama's plotlines and getting them to all come back to kamurocho, but its just kind of weird that shinada has absolutely 0 connection at all to him or anybody else other than daigo

like to be clear i didnt dislike his story but it just feels so insanely removed and frankly kind of self contained in comparison to everybody else's melodrama that im not really sure what to do with it. like his final antagonist was some guy he had never even met before this incident and had absolutely 0 personal connection to in any meaningful way. so it just feels kind of strange.

like everybody else has their own distinct little mini adventure but it all ties together in a way that makes sense partially just because they already know each other and are connected by the common thread of tojo clan melodrama and majima nonsense. but whatever

honestly i dont have all that much to say on kiryus plot im just so insanely happy that random lady did not show up again because i seriously did not have it in me to deal with ANOTHER nonsense kiryu romance. overall liked it, enjoyed, kind of a small note but i really liked the visual progression of the final boss battle in terms of fighting aizawa out of the heart of the tojo -> to the main floor -> to the outside. very epic

also its kind of funny that when you put the money into the atm to send to morning glory it really is just flushing cash down the drain. i sent them a bunch of money because i felt bad but there was a part of me that was wondering if youd be able to pick it back up as haruka or something and literally no like that cash is gone

saejimas story i also really liked honestly im always perpetually distracted by how much cuter he is with the buzzcut im so glad he keeps it. i also really highkey love his perspective on the concept of avenging majima because its like well really not what youd expect from somebody in the yakuza and its just a really interesting character trait.

im gonna be thinking about absolutely snatched baba for the rest of my life

saejimas fight with majima on the rooftop highkey kind of makes me sick and its also crazy that majima said all that stuff re: their conversation in the batting center because like girl get real We all know you are lying. Badly. MAJIMA I LOVE YOU FOREVERRRRRRRRRRRR

it also actually makes me sick that majima was the one who kicked saejima out of the tojo like hes actually terrified of losing anybody else to the point where he actively tries to drive them away from him you have PROBLEMSSSSS

also unrelated but its insanely funny that he faked his whole death and somehow managed to get away with it and we got absolutely not a SINGLE detail on how any of this happened. me personally im still rooting for fake open casket funeral. WE LITERALLY HAD A WITNESS WHO PERSONALLY SAW HIM DIE? And like come on you cant pull the bulletproof vest because that man does not wear a shirt.

adding onto that point though more seriously majimas role in this story is just kind of weird because even though hes the glue responsible for holding half of it together the vast majority of what he's been running around doing is entirely background and 95% unexplained. which again blessing and a curse and also lowkey kind of bad writing

anyways i also really liked that daigo got to be more relevant this game but hes still kind of a perpetual running disaster. lowkey he kind of needs to get fired because hes always fighting a war with his own stupid clan but also i would feel bad because like i said earlier hes trying so hard. and also theres not really another other options at hand since the tojo hierarchy turnover is so egregiously high and like Well nobodys making majima patriarch.

^but considering my vague knowledge of 3jimas existence hes getting out of here at least temporarily for a bit? So we'll see..... we'll see....!!!!

actually devastating to me that we did not get to see hana this game.... talked to her on the phone for like 3 minutes but it was objectively one of the best parts of the game. hana and akiyama you will ALWAYS be famous to me.

akiyama and haruka are also an insanely cute duo theyre so special... LITERALLY LOVEEEEEE

akiyama honestly is sooooo good i literally love him so much forever. He still highkey needs to get his ears pierced

theres honestly not too much to say on his plot since its more haurkas than it is his but this is just a win for feminism. that beign said ti was kind of weird at the end where everybody was like omg akiyama we love u so much forever Because i feel like he didnt really do all that much. but ok

also completely unrelated but i feel like theyre becoming less trigger happy in terms of killing off 75% of the supporting cast. which is just kind of weird to witness and also just strange because they certainly pulled that move in y0 which comes out after this game. so who knows.

OH ALSO i cant believe i literally forgot to talk about it but the major plot twist this game actually were like. GOOD? like the whole reveal with the omi chairman i was like "HELLO????? Im actually stupid for not seeing this coming." that being said i think aizawa being his son shouldve gotten some foreshadowing too so that one was kind of a classic yakuza cheap twist but whatever. lowkey i was just shocked i didnt see the thing with the omi chairman coming sooner

i think thats rpobabblyy it. i might have more thoughts but overall REALLY FUN GAME. i had such a crazy good time as long as it was not in the period of time in which i was going through the 5 stages of grief over the majima is parks ex husband reveal LOL

[wordy-little-witch]

Hiiii ur crossguild x adams family post has me kicking my feet n screaming sksiisksksdj ESP 2 LAST PARTS GRAH

wordy u cant just end it like dat plsss i need to see how enid would interact w the rest of crossguild esp buggy i need my colorful blorbos ro interact 😳🥹👉👈

Enid's opinions of Cross Guild!!!!!

Crocodile

Reminds her of one of her teachers once. Is a little intimidated initially but eventually finds that he's rough around the edges and fun to annoy. He tried doing the Protective Uncle Bit, but very quickly realized Enid would more likely be hurt by Wednesday and turned it into Becoming An Addams 101. Honestly, Croc gets along well enough with her, thinks she has the makings of a shrewd business woman. She enjoys kicking his ass at card games, both for pride points and the inevitable rewards ((He funds her addition to weird cutesy journals and flouncy pens))

Mihawk

Enid took one look at this man and had to fight the strangest urge to bite him. Why? No idea, but something about him made her a little feral. Eventually decides it's the bird-like habits and some weird werewolf thing. She is still trying - and failing - to get Mihaw to spar with her. She absolutely asked him for tips on eyeliner. Overall, he's cool but not her favorite future uncle in law.

Buggy

Ohhhh boy where do we begin... so first meeting was both FANTASTIC and absolutely abysmal. Buggy probably tried showing off, made a fool of himself, and then managed to somehow pull competence seemingly out of his ass. Most people weren't sure how this would go or if it could be saved.

Ultimately, however, Enid and Buggy become INCREDIBLY close. They bond over past family trauma and the inherent amusement in finding respected boundaries in the most unexpected places. They bond over bright colors, unapologetic authenticity, giggly bits and all. He probably teaches her different methods of fighting to expand on later, and they spend some Bad Days just.... talking. Wednesday is a comfort to Enid, but Buggy just sort of.... GETS it.

Bonus points, he probably also taught her some random circus tricks, and I feel like Enid would adore aerial arts. On the girls' anniversary one year, she even convinced Buggy to help her choreograph a performance just for Wednesday to a song important to then on black silks.

On the topic of Enid however, I DO think she would probably be a big voice in encouraging Buggy to talk to Shanks.

And I think it would be hilarious to give all the Addams a really greasy redhead uncle on their Baba's side, and for the entirety of the family to be. Amusingly protective of these two pirate Emperors.

((Bonus points, this would make Luffy an Addams by proxy, Zoro an Addams by adoption alongside Perona, and man. The hijinks. Nami bats her eyes like "I hear you have mon-" and the family is just like "MONEY YES PLEASE HELP YOURSELF!!!"

Gomez keeps fucking up into success and gets so excited because "finally!!! I can make so many trust funds!!!! This will surely deplete the excess-!!!!" Only it somehow folds back on itself and triples his wealth. He is so upset. He is crying, really, he must hide away into the space between his wife and husband's tender bosoms, he swears the tears are real and not an excuse to burrow into heaven-))

Anyway yeah Enid has Opinions and she might decide she wants to be a pirate one day but that's fine, really :))

lover,

i can’t look at myself, it’s bad luck. — it’s like I need to see myself without looking. — do you understand? things come to people when they don’t want them. so if i were you i would stop wanting the things that you want. — if that makes sense. george talks about it in a Seinfeld episode, the parking garage one —

as soon as I stop wanting to be beautiful, i am beautiful.

hockey game was a success. so many more things to watch than just hockey—- the people are fascinating and there are a spectrum of looks. —- there was an unspoken togetherness- and I think that’s why people like sports, the one thing that will bring us together, — but - it was fun to admire them all. look at them a bit longer than usual. talk to neighboring fans-

driving to Chicago this week, — trying to be excited about the drive, and the only drive that excites me is the one that wants to see my family. i miss them dearly, i know this internal impatience will fade once i am on the road- it will keep me going. and i will have plenty of time to think.

i don’t know how I wake up everyday and am capable of pushing down all the horrors of existence. if i think about it too much i can get anxious.— but i think being a woman has me prone, instinctively i am always the prey. — you can say that we all are but i think you know what i am implying.— or maybe admitting that we don’t give a fuck because look at us, obsessed with true crime —- evil men, murder and sex — i swear to god woman have sexualized their submissive instincts. — we have this attraction to bad men and bad is subjective to the woman. we this we can mend and heal them and they would then commit deeply to us for the rest of their lives, but poor them— they are committed to —- to—- what are men committed to? i really have a hard time finding even a far fetched, sarcastic response for that— i would have to start asking questions. —- maybe women admire from their shadows how men can be so committed to themselves. and that’s been the fight all along, it’s not equal rights it’s finally being so helpless we decide to commit to ourselves as women. and that’s what i have been doing— is that selfish in a vow of marriage? fuck no, this is different and you know it. a commitment to self because the world says commitment requires selflessness??? well that doesn’t seem right — maybe there’s a cap for commitment, maybe at a certain level there doesn’t need to be anymore definitive proof, just pure trust.

i am recognizing when i am falling into a victim mindset. — i almost did tonight, on the way home— looking at a photo of my husband and i- that victim mentality tried to convince me that he is miserable with me. — and it almost made me cry, and the image of his potential was showing in my mind, the version of him that i want him to be—- i was subjected to my own bullshit. — hence why I think there is a dark side to romance, it can bring great sadness for something that will always be imaginary, fabled, or unreachable. — shake that image out of my head, this is reality, this is the real him, unexpressive but so fucking expressive. — why won’t he let me save him? — maybe I already have and that’s why he is committed to me. — sometimes I think this version of man that I daydream plagues me into thinking I am a neglected woman— tell me this makes sense. — or am I compensating for the lack there of ——-????? fuck, i want to say i am lost but i cant, i wont put that into my body but i will inhale a cigarette, and eat sugar, fuck— see. — articulating too much at once my love. — so much to say, so much i do not understand, but like i said, if you want it to come, do not call it. ☎️—— maybe some would argue with spiritual propaganda that would be the opposite of manifestation, well no this is something different, this is letting what’s yours find you, you’re running away from it trying to find you and it will always be five steps behind, you will just miss each other— i don’t know how to explain this any other way, so i won’t.

still believe something about me is cathartic- still believe the man at the gym is completely fucking mad and I have to find a way to get rid of him, he’s a parasite sucking the teets of my divinity. i think i am going to take this moment of clarity to switch gyms, i have better shit to do. i want to commit to cleansing my brain and body and soul and stand face to face with myself. it is winter after all, what divine timing, a season of death, chill, stillness, and clarity. just as the snow lights up the darkness of night—- there is always something so beautiful about something so ugly, and as long as it has big enough eyes we will try to save it.

i know what i look like on the outside, —— i want to know what i look like on the inside— and i am finding out it’s a house, of mirrors.

Another Sneak Peak of Chapter 8 of Psycho Ex Arc

Sick BF was still running while having a panic attack. He was still panicking that Drugfriend was gonna die and it was all his fault. He tries to remain calm.

Sick BF: *deep breaths* I need to calm down...I think I ran away from the group way too far.

Sick Boyfriend looked around to find a way back but was too scared that he was lost.

Sick BF: *mind* Aww crap, I think I'm lost! Oh god, This isn't good! Okay, I need to calm down, take a deep breathe and find my way back. *breath in, breath out* Okay, I need to retrace my steps to find my way back.

Sick Boyfriend tries to remember where he ran and find a way back but it was no use.

Sick BF: Aww man this is bad, Could this get any worse?!

Sick Boyfriend then heard an evil cackle coming from the bushes.

Sick BF: *mind* Eep! What was that?!

The evil cackle started to get louder and there was a shadowy figure coming out of the bushes.

Sick BF: W-W-Who's there?!

Somebody came out, It was Fanzo.

Fanzo: Well Well Well, Look who we have here?

Sick BF:*gasp* I-It's You!.... Y-You're....You're....You're Fanzo!

Fanzo: That's right, It's me Fanzo Miller and I've been looking forward to finally meet you, Sick Boyfriend~

Sick Boyfriend was terrified when Fanzo knew his name, he couldn't believe it.

Sick BF: H-How did you know my n-name?....

Fanzo: Oh Iet's just say I've been watching you and Drugfriend and you're friends for a little while.

Sick BF: S-So You're the one who kidnapped Drugfriend and Penelope!

Fanzo: Hehehe Took you long enough to figure out, I was wondering how you figured out it was me.

Sick BF: Grrr Where's my husband and my gaming buddy, you monster!

Fanzo: I can't tell you, It won't be so fun.

Sick BF: I'm not playing games Fanzo, Tell me where Drugfriend and Penelope are or else, I'll make your face unrecogizable using my microphone!

Fanzo: Well then I'm afraid I can't tell you, You see...I have a score to settle with your husband because he caused my girlfriend's death 15 years ago and I was heartbroken from it.

Sick BF: I know, Drugfriend told me about it and he told me that it wasn't his fault and he tried to save her but it was too late. But that doesn't give you the right to hurt innocent people and Kidnap Drugfriend and Penelope.

Fanzo: Well I don't care and plus I don't have beef with your "GAMING BUDDY", It's my sister who wants her and she wants to do naughty and sexy things to her.

Sick BF: *disgusted* Oh my god....Your sister is disgusting and raping someone, that's unacceptable, Now last chance, you better tell me where Drugfriend and Penelope are or else, I'm going-*tries to pull out his microphone but realizes that his microphone is missing. *mind* Oh no, where's my microphone?!

Fanzo was grinning at Sick Boyfriend trying to search for his microphone, and he pulled out something from his pocket. It was Sick Boyfriend's microphone. It must've dropped in the car when they were at the hotel.

Sick BF: *mind* Where did it go?!

Fanzo: Looking for this~? *holding Sick Boyfriend's microphone in his hands*

Sick Boyfriend looked at Fanzo and was shocked to see that his microphone is on fanzo's hands.

Sick BF: W-Wha....But how did you...

Fanzo: You should really check your surroundings when you're in the car, you never know when it will get explode with the car.

Sick BF: W-Wait, So you're the one who-

Fanzo: Yep, put the bomb inside the car engine. I wanted to blow you guys up inside the car but y'all escaped so now I have to take Jurassic measures.

Sick BF: Jurassic measure? What do you mea-*gasp*

Sick Boyfriend stopped when he saw Fanzo pulled out a syringe filled with poison inside from his pocket.

Fanzo: Remember this?

Sick BF: *whimpering* Oh crap....

Fanzo: Oh~ Seems to me like you're afraid of needles huh? Well this makes my job much more easier...

Sick BF: P-Please don't come near me with that!

Fanzo: Aww little baby scared of needles, Boo hoo hoo, Let's see how your husband and friend would react when I showed him your lifeless body filled with poison after i'm done with you!

Fanzo started to come closer to Sick Boyfriend while Sick Boyfriend slowly backs away from him. His panic attack meters are raising higher again because he saw the needle.

Sick BF: S-Stay back!

Fanzo: Oh come on, this will be quick and painless!

Sick BF: I said STAY AWAY FROM ME!!! *tries to run but trips on a rock and fell to the ground* Ow!

Fanzo: Hehehe Just where I want you.

Sick BF: Stay back! Stay back!

Meanwhile, Sick Girlfriend was running through the Everfree forest trying to look for Sick Boyfriend.

Sick GF: Sick Boyfriend! Sick Boyfriend! Where are you?!

Sick Girlfriend was calling Sick Boyfriend's name out loud, while searching for him.

Sick GF: Aww man, where can he can be?! I haven't seen him get worked up and ran away like that since, i hope he's not hur- Wait, WHAT AM I SAYING?! Why am i even looking for him?! It's not like i care about him! Mmmmmmmmmmm! D'oh, alright! I swear if he dies I'm gonn-

Sick BF: *SCREAMING LOUDLY*

Sick Girlfriend heard that scream, was startled to know that it's Sick Boyfriend screaming.

Sick GF: Oh shit, that's SICK BOYFRIEND! HANG ON SICK BOYFRIEND! I'M COMING TO SAVE YOU! *mind* Holy shit, did i just say that?!

More from Chapter 8 coming soon.

Mary and Harry: The Ultimate Dynamic Duo

Another chapter, and NOT a month later, I’m shocked too.

This chapter is a bit more separated from the current plot, so if you missed the past few chapters then you should be fine.

Mary is babysitting Harry during this chapter, she’s a bit overwhelmed, but they have fun, it’s a fun little romp.

Links to other chapters here

Remus’ pronouns are they/them, Sirius’ are ze/zis/zer/zhe/zeir/zey.

Fuck JKR and her hateful rhetoric, and fuck you if you repeat that terf antisemitic racist shit, don’t buy the stupid game.

There is a child in the living room. A CHILD. LILY’S CHILD. HARRY POTTER. Or I guess it’s more I’m in this child’s kitchen, or in the Potter’s kitchen. How in god’s name did I end up in this situation?

The cogs turned in Mary’s head as she remembered exactly how she got here, a school crush, a complicated relationship turning into simply a friendship with some unresolved feelings, James Potter being a part of it all, the Potter’s “dying”, trying to keep in touch with Remus, trying to get into the muggle world, the Potter’s not dying, all leading up to these stupid words:

“You stay here with Harry and watch him while Sirius, Lily, and I go talk with Remus?” 

“That could work, as long as I get some stories in return,” she winked at Lily. 

She WINKED at Lily, I’m a queer disaster, that’s my conclusion I’m a queer disaster. FLIRTING WITH A WOMAN IN FRONT OF HER HUSBAND WHILE TALKING ABOUT BABYSITTING HER CHILD. 

Opening the fridge there weren’t really any leftovers, of course they couldn’t make this easy, Mary grabbed out some cheese and butter, then began the search for bread. Through cupboards, cabinets, pantries, until finally finding a breadbox. Then the thought finally dawned on her: would Harry even want to eat this? 

Swinging the door open, she swept her eyes across the room until finding the boy sitting and playing with some blocks, those sticky together blocks with the little round bits. 

“Hey….buddy,” Mary said awkwardly, “would you want some cheese toasties for dinner? And maybe a bit of tomato soup?”

Harry looked up and nodded, then returned to his…what are those tiny blocks CALLED?

As Mary paced around the kitchen, toasting bread, melting cheese, heating a can of soup, she couldn’t help worrying a bit about the child in the other room. What if he somehow aparates away, what if his first bit of magic makes a fire somehow, what if he finds James’ stupid invisibility cloak and won’t come out–WHY THE FUCK DID THEY LEAVE ME HERE ALONE!

Her mind went back, back to that stupid conversation, they had always been planning on leaving her in the dark. It’s funnier being left in the dark about caring for a child than left in the dark about the other thing, but…Mary’s mind couldn’t help wandering back again and again to how hurt she felt. 

….

Crumbs fell all around the table as Harry ate across from her. Dear lord, children are so messy, was all Mary could think as the pile of toasted spheres accumulated like some sort of burnt snow. 

“Where are my Mummy and Daddy?” Harry asked, for what felt like the millionth time, and it felt like an arrow through Mary’s heart for the millionth time.

“They’re out,” Mary said, quickly, trying not to concern the boy across from her. 

“I know that, but they barely go out together, not without me. Where did they go?”

“I’m not sure I should say, it’s a bit of a secret.”

“I’m 5 years old, I can handle secrets, I can handle anything.”

Mary smiled, “Well…you got me there. Hmmm: have you ever heard of a creature called a werewolf?”

Harry nodded, “Daddy will tell me about werewolves all the time. The kids in school always call them beasts and evil and thieves, but Daddy will say they’re nice and brave and smart. Like Moony, he’ll tell stories about Moony all the time, especially at a full moon-y.”

The Potter’s can’t come up with an original story to save their lives, can they? 

“Well, you’re Mommy and Daddy went out to go and try to help our friend who’s a werewolf. They’ve been having a hard time lately…and they have an even worse time asking for help, so after your Mommy and Daddy heard about that they knew they needed to see their friend Moony again. Do you understand?”

“Is Moony hurt?” Harry frowned, the gears visibly working in his little mind. 

“In a way, yes.”

Harry got up from the table, running off somewhere.

He’s old enough to help clean up, right, yeah he’s old enough to help clean up. “Harry,” Mary called out, “Harry, buddy, I need your help cleaning up dinner!”

“One minute, I needa get something,” Harry called from across the house. 

When he returned, Harry was holding tightly onto colored papers and some crayons. 

Mary raised a brow, “What’s that?”

“Some paper and crayons,” Harry said, well obviously it’s–

Mary took a deep breath, “What is it for?”

“A get well card, for Moony.”

Water started to form just a little bit in Mary’s eyes, “That’s a great idea,” Mary patted Harry on the shoulder and smiled, “A wonderful idea.”

Harry smiled back. 

“Let's put the papers down on the chair for a second though, we need to clean our dishes and the table so we don’t get our art dirty before we can even make it,” Mary said in her best teachery, parenty, adult voice. 

“Oh,” Harry nodded. 

And so they cleaned for a moment. 

….

Once all of that was over, Mary stared at the green paper spread in front of her, what can I say that hasn’t already been said? What can be said to help them? What do you tell someone? 

Harry tapped her hand, Mary looked down at him and asked “What is it?”’

“How do you spell ‘get well soon’?”

And so they went through each letter, Harry diligently writing one after the other, putting the words very close to each other despite Mary trying to warn him not to. Right after he started a new word. 

“Do you need help with the next word?” Mary pondered. 

“No, L-O-V-E spells love, everyone knows that, and U is also easy. I need help with their name though.” 

They…they really just had the most perfect sweet child, didn’t they? And they hid him away. Mary’s looked around in realization, do I correct him on the U thing? Moony would think it’s cute but like…well it’s not like I’m his teacher. 

“Moony is spelled M–”

“LIKE MARAUDER!” Harry shouts, excitedly as he scribbles the word.

“How do you–nevermind, yes like marauder, and like Mary. Then O-O, so two O’s, it’ll look a bit like your glasses,” Mary smiled as she remembered the stupid way James would wiggle his glasses around after making the WORST jokes that could ever exist.

“N, like Neverland, have you seen the movie Peter Pan?”

Harry nodded. 

“And finally a Y, like the word Yesterday, or Yikes, or You.” 

And so Harry stared down, proud of his hard work writing, then quickly started grabbing an assortment of colored crayons. Mary looked back down at her own sheet, took a deep breath, grabbed a pencil, and began drawing a flower. Though Remus always preferred the gift of chocolates, they would probably still somewhat enjoy a drawn flower. 

What if they hate it? What if they visibly hate it? What if they hurt Harry?...or Lily, or Sirius? It’s still Remus but….is it?

As Mary’s thoughts spiraled she looked around the room, seeing a little record player cabinet, Mary needed to see what they had, she just needed to, it was a must. She got up and quickly found herself flipping through an assortment of records: Queen (from/for Sirius), Bowie (from/for Remus), and some other records that she flipped through until she found it, perfection–ABBA. 

Harry was staring at her from across the table, “Which music?”

“It is witch music, yes, but it’s fun music,” Mary smiled. 

“No, which music?”

“ABBA.”

“ABBA?” He cocked his head, kinda like Sirius in dog form.

Don’t tell me he doesn’t know ABBA, he’s gotta know-- “Dancing queen,” she started singing, “young and sweet, only seventeen.”

“ABBA! YES, play the music Miss Mary!”

“You like ABBA?”

“Yes! Mommy plays it all the time and we dance around the room, and normally we’re even able to convince Daddy to join.”

“Can you show me your moves? And then we can get back to our drawing.”

Harry gave a big gapped tooth grin as he slid out of his chair, Mary put on the record, skipping to Waterloo. 

Shaking their hips, flinging their arms around, twirling, tiring myself out, Mary gasped and continued jumping around and dancing with the boy, reaching out to hold his hands and swinging their interlocked hands together. 

…

Hours pass as they dance and draw, until Mary looks up at the time and it’s far too late for a child to still be awake. It’s 9 at night, “Okay Harry, let’s get going to bed,” she said a bit frantically, trying not to think about–while still very much thinking about how long the Potter’s are taking to get home. 

Pajamas, brushing teeth, and now the five year old is sitting up in bed looking to Mary as if she knows what to do next. And that’s when the tears come. 

“Mommy,” Harry cries, for a woman who isn’t here to hear him for one of the first times in his life. 

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Mary held his hand, “she’ll be back in a little bit, it’s okay. If we go to sleep then she’ll be back even sooner.” 

“And Daddy?” his watering eyes looked up. 

“And Daddy,” Mary nodded as she wiped the tears away, then got a tissue from a nearby table, handing it to the boy. 

“What can I do for you? Sing? Tell a story? Just be here?”

Harry looks around, the stuffed animals around him, the pictures on his wall, it feels incomplete without Lily and James. “Mommy and Daddy normally tell me a story about magic and Hogwarts and marauders.”

Mary thought back to the stories in her head, Cinderella would be far easier than this, but he made a request and she’ll try to fulfill it.

“Once upon a time,” Mary patted his head, just lay down, kid. 

“There was the bravest of brave knights, named Marlene The Strong, she could take down anyone in a battle of the brawn. Though…she hadn’t always had the best intellect, meaning she wasn’t always that smart. Which is just fine, we’re always working on our brains and brawn throughout our life. 

One day as she was passing through the halls she came across a bridge guarded by a riddling rambunctious witch who wouldn’t let her pass unless she answered her riddle’s 3.”

“What was the witch named?”

“Dorcas,” Mary smiled, thinking back to the strange stupid time this happened. 

And so, Mary continued rambling on about puzzles and pranks and riddles. About a hairbrush, some polyjuice potion, and an eventual kiss that grossed Harry out. Eventually the kid fell asleep, thankfully before Mary had run out of story ideas that weren’t too sad. But now, sitting next to this child, her mind filled with the thoughts of Marlene and Dorcas, they missed him growing up. They’d only seen him a few times. Marlene would have taught him flying skills far better than James could. Dorcas would leave him loving the nature and world around him more. But instead he’s laying here, in a world where both of these incredible women are gone. And Mary’s sitting in this world too. 

What if I just looked up–STOP,  a part of her mind began to speak, but was quickly shut down by the other part of herself. They deserved to rest in peace. Though, in some ways it felt unfair, that Lily and James and Sirius and Remus and her all got to live. 

On multiple occasions Mary had wished she could do something about it, that she could just bring everyone back so things could go back to how they were. So she could be with her best friends again. So she could be with the loves of her life again, platonic and romantic. 

There were times when Mary looked around her, at the ways Remus had been treating themself, at the emptiness she felt to her core–she wanted to forget it all. 

Where would I be if I did? 

Mary looked out the window, to the night sky. Clouds all around, like some sort of barrier between her and the cosmic beasts that were her friends. Just watch over them, please. Just please let them be okay. Just let them get back. 

She looked into the dark navy and gray once more, I miss you. 

Her eyes glazed over, looking out the window for what seemed to be forever, until she stood up and began moving to the room. The Potter’s bedroom. Peering in, it felt like a place Mary was never meant to be. Being the ex, she shouldn’t be there, at least not without James and Lily there. She turned around and wandered the halls, opening and shutting doors in search of a closet, in search of some blankets and pillows that she finally found. Holding them in her hands, she went back to Harry’s room, laid them on the floor, and slept in there instead. Just in case anything happened.

YAYYY finally i get asks after.,. turning on the asks

ask game here

🤍- has religion played a part in your sex life? are you into blasphemy or worship during sex?

my original answer was "no not really, we're both areligious," BUT Then i remembered that i'm kind of spiritual and consider sex a form of meditation. so idk if that counts ?

🏳️‍🌈- what's your favorite thing about sapphic sex?

hmm. this is a good question bc to me this is the only type of sex, i don't know any other way! it's like "what's your favorite thing about air." i guess it's the mutual understanding of each other. it's also very healing for me, to be loved and acknowledged exactly how i want to be (and return that feeling to my butch!)

also, the flexibility and freedom. one of the saddest things about general cultural understanding of 'sex' is that there's one specific definition. like, when i was in high school (under a decade ago) my health teacher (who was kind of an ass whose whole schtick was being a rightwinger in a liberal area) said "sex is penis in vagina. gay people never lose their virginity because they don't have sex." which, aside from being factually inaccurate saying that gay people would never be in a position to have piv, is just such a limited view. hetero culture defines sex as either piv, or penetration by penis/penis-adjacent thing.

my sex doesn't have piv or receiving penetration, but it's still sex. i don't have that rigidity in my head saying "well i'm being openly vulnerable to my partner naked getting or giving orgasms but it's not real sex because we're not doing xxx" it's so stupid, limiting, and devaluing a real relationship just because the sex is not some dude jackhammering against a cervix for 2.5 minutes :P

🧯- what's the fastest way to turn you off?

anything degrading or violent. i'm not into that at all, i'm too vanilla uwu

i also have a VERY SPECIFIC trigger that some ppl have as a kink/fantasy/fetish that i don't even mention explicitly online bc i know how assholes purposefully trigger people. if, somehow, i ever had a partner who found this specific thing sexy, presumably this would be after i have already divulged my traumatic experience and i'd be out the door so fast

🧪- talk about a time when you or a lover tried something new during sex.

first time i wore the strap! i'm getting better at it lol but it's veryy fun. even though my legs/glutes KILL the next day. when it comes to the strap, i'm the top.

plus, when you wear the strap you get to do this

iykyk. but i think everyone trying out a strap w/ a harness has this experience XD

🐣- if you're trans, how do you feel it impacts your sex life?

i'm cis ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ however, i'm a femme and have been masculinized by other people throughout my life (predominantly due to body hair, lack of makeup, and fashion) and being recognized as a femme is very important to me. thankfully my butch gf is very affirming <3

🕳️- do you enjoy penetration? if so, where and with what? giving or receiving?

i have medical & psychological reasons i'm unable to receive penetration,, it's very painful and traumatic for me. this is something i was very upfront about with my gf before we started getting sexual. i make the mistake of reading very heterocentric forums for ppl with my conditions and it's nonstop venting about women who say they're broken bc they can't be penetrated and their boyfriends/husbands leaving them bc they can't stick their dicks in.

that said, i will need to work up to receiving some penetration, not just sexually but medically. i do fantasize about what it would be like.

tysm for sending!!

[asoulofatlantis]

I finally finished the first year. In all honesty, it was a long year despite the fact that the year was actually relatively short ^^’ And it looks like I am finally getting married.

I feel like for a game who made it clear that marriage is an requirement and not and option, there is something REALLY wrong about not even having a wedding ceremonie to look at. They could have done that better, especially since this is a remake and we had wedding-ceremonies in past games as well.

Well I guess you could count that as some sort of wedding-ceremony. But it could really have been better.

Its nice that we have a choice here.

Once again, it is kind of sad that we skip all the fun here.

I do like Takakura as narrator. He sounds so gentle.

Since when do we have a doctor? O.O And why is he living in this house? Wasn’t that Ninas and her housbands house?

W-What kind of monster-plant is this? O.O

Alright, this is cute.

So... the first year is over and overall I sadly still say the game is relatively boring. It seems hard to imagine I have to go through multiple more in-game-years to finish the game, because its soooooo boring since there is just nothing else to do in this game but living the farmer-life if you get me XD Its too realistic, if you want to put it like that. Which makes it... not as entertaining, because there is hardly any overall goal then getting through the game somewhat successfully.

I do absolutely dislike the clothing choices by the way. Lately they kick out any feminine looking clothes of games it seems. I get that this is a farming game and I can not exactly run around in a fancy dress, but something a bit more ladylike would have been nice.

Also... money is still an issue? Like, I have more then enough per se, but to buy any new buildings or upgrade any builders? Nope, still not enough! Everything is too expensive.

Also... I can not fully grasp how the hybrid-plant-thingy works just yet. But I just got it today... so... whatever...

Ninas death was so... I don’t know but I wish they would have said something about it instead of putting the doctor into their house, make her husband slightly grumpier and put her grave somewhere. I think if you do a timeskip and narrate a bit, you should narrate stuff like that as well. (Also, as she liked flowers, you should have been able to put flowers on her grave...)

By the by... who is taking care of my toddler child when I am out there in the city and my husband is working on his sisters farmland and Takakura is also in the city? My dog? My Cows? My Chicken? ^^’ And there goes the realismen XD

The thing with this game is... I like many aspects of it and I would love for them to add them to newer games, but its also lacking far too much, especially compared to the newer games and I do not understand why, when they do make a remake of such an old game, they didn’t try to make it more entertaining, give you a bigger goal in the meantime while time passes and also gave you more to do?

[not-those-kids]

uncharted golden abyss full review come and get it

overall: 6.5/10, good, compelling characters with a great haunting of the narrative on behalf of non-existent sam, but bogged down by ooc jokes and quips that gave misogyny and transphobia

i get that it’s not a naughty dog game and not the same writers were working on it

but while it had really great concepts some of the banter didn’t hit the mark enough for me to go lower than a 7. what i love abt all 4 games + ll is the banter. it establishes character very well, makes the audience relate more to the character, but doesn’t overextend it when it doesn’t need to happen (cough marvel). at least in the first four games + tll.

and when the banter is good in ga it’s really good. i loved nate’s dynamic with dante, i love that dante sucked massive shit. and even if sam wasn’t an established character at this time, i could see how his death might’ve influenced nate to work with dante.

dante shoving the fact that nate was basically a nobody who has done nothing WAS SO FUCKING POIGNANT, especially with the undercurrent of the sam haunting the narrative!!!! like fuck!! “what have you done in the last ten years except work pissant jobs for schlubs like me?” WHAT A GREAT LINE, and then nate pointing a gun at him LIKE UGH!!!! imagine ur brother died three or so years ago, and this ASSHOLE just throws it in ur face that you have accomplished NONE of what you wanted to do together. THATS FUCKING COLD AND RAW AND I FUCKING LOVED IT.

and then the dynamic between marisa and nate was great too! she really feeds off nate well, and tbh while i definitely got more of a friendship vibe off of them, i didn’t hate it that there was romantic tension there either. that being said, sometimes. and i mean sometimes. the way nate talked to her rubbed me the wrong way, and not only did it feel ooc for nate but it felt degrading to marisa. it was like having 95% of the cupcakes in the batch being great, and then 5% being either meh or just plain bad. the reason i say this is because i felt like they had a fun dynamic as being both knowledgeable on history, but nate was. somewhat harsh on her for seemingly no reason. sometimes the banter felt like boomer comedy, Oh She’s The Nagging Wife and he’s the Tired Husband.

like here are real quotes from the game from nate that felt ooc and degrading to marisa

“i’m listening… just not paying attention”

[after her foot got stuck under a heavy stone column and nate gets her out of it] “quit your bitchin’” (as a joke)

like even as a joke, it just doesn’t suit nate and it really rubbed me the wrong way. enough to me that those 5% of sour cupcakes in the batch tasted enough bad for me to be like :/

sully was also great in this for 95% of the game and then like. that god damn 5%!!!! like he’s always been a womanizer, but the way he talked abt women in this game was a lil more gross than normal. for me, it always seemed like sully would talk abt his partners, but idk. there was just something lacking in respect in how he talked abt them in this game. like. at the end he jokes abt two girls he finds attractive, at some point pontificating abt a girl’s lips. like which. idk. he’s always been a dirty old man. i just never really heard him talk abt…body parts. he always seemed too polite for that, if that makes sense.

what really drove the nail on the coffin for me was the very final line in the game. nate made a joke abt how sully slept w a woman’s “brother named isabel”. which is just. straight up transphobia meant to be a dig at sully and his masculinity (thank u danger on discord for putting my brain thoughts into words). and it’s just so!!! ew!!! don’t assign my nathan as a transphobe. canon disregarded and thrown away. thanks.

but again like i said, MOST of the banter was good. i love that nate was a lil environmentalist, and he’s still good at heart and you can tell. dante is 1000% the best pre uc4 antagonist FOR SURE, i will always remember how he understood nathan and used it against him and i just. ugh. i kinda wanna like him more than rafe is that crazy?

anyways. it just had some lil Written By Men moments that made me feel icky enough to rate it lower bc of that. but besides that, a lot of fun. cant rate it higher than uc1, but again. would watch again just for the dante and nate banter.

Looking Like U Got Me

Request: "Prompt no. 56 and 55 for Gojo ＼(^o^)／"

55. "You look like my husband/wife"

56. "Keep doing that and I'll marry you faster"

↠ Pairing: Gojou Satoru x Reader

↠ Warning: none! Simply fluff

↬ Word Count: 1.7k

↠ a/n: i accidentally mixed up prompts 55 and 57 ;-; but still hoping this turns out good!!

↳ from Go! Go! Gogatsu Event!

All he wanted was to wake up in bed, next to you— who would cuddle deeper in his arms even in slumber so he'd smother you with his kisses and tighten his hold around you and drift back to sleep longer, finally free of responsibilities for once and enjoy quality time with his only favorite person. But instead he wakes up with a groan passing through his lips, supporting his back side with his hand while shuffling to his side in a different position as the light sun rays shun through the window blinds, softly fanning his eye and forehead.

Gojo chuckles a bit before wincing. His lower back so tensed that he feels himself get older by the day. Pouting at the empty space next to him, he palms the cold sheet in wonder of where you are. Up so early in the morning when you could've just stayed in for him. How annoying. His eyes shut for moment when the scent coming from outside the room intruded his senses. Ah, you must be cooking breakfast. How sweet of you.

Thank goodness it wasn't another batch of dried crackers or cup of noodles that'll enter his mouth. He was never one to cook meals when he was on solo or when you weren't around. The very thought of not only the meal was awaiting for him outside, but also you excites him that it made him feel tingly inside. Call it dramatic, yeah, but it's not every day someone gets to wake up and immediately feel this full of love in the morning. You were the only and last love he's ever wanted to have in this world. It was so surreal even to him.

Sighing before pushing himself up, Gojo yawns out the remains of drowsiness in his system and stands. He didn't bother wearing a shirt since last night, claiming that he misses how his body rubs off yours in both comforting and suggestive ways. Plus it was just you and him home, he'd rather walk naked than wear the usual long sleeved uniform on a warm day.

The scent of coffee got stronger as he closes in his journey towards the kitchen. There was faint sizzling coming from the pan as you stood there in attendance. Stuck in your own little world, swaying to the sound of the radio playing, U got Me by Yung Heazy. It was one of the few songs that reminded you of Gojo back when you were both high schoolers. The exact song you remembered playing when you both hung out on a small cafe in Tokyo. Where he was so flustered, attempted to hide his blushes with his round glasses. The little things that reminded you of that memory never fails to make your heart race.

Of course Gojo knows this one as well. Because it was on that date as well he had call you, "his" after masking his embarrassment and from obviously checking you out every minute. How could he contain himself? He was a young man who was having trouble in the arts of love. Nevertheless he was glad to have grown up from those years. If his younger self could see him now, he'd be gagging at the sight of a softer version of his older self.

Snaking his arms around your torso carefully to avoid surprising you, he places his chin above your shoulder. Salivating at the sight of thick bacon in deep frying, shamelessly letting you know he was hungry from the sound of his stomach growling. "This is a nice way to greet me." you smile at the man behind you, who had his eyes closed in delight while rubbing his cheek against yours like a cat in need of attention. "Good morning to you as well, sweet cheeks." he says after  pressing a kiss on your skin.

"You got up early." whining softly, his hair and nose tickling the side of your neck and shoulder, "I was hoping to stay longer y'know?" trailing his hands underneath the his shirt you were wearing, mapping out on all the skin he could squish and hold with his large palms. Noticeably pressing himself closer to your body, the much needed space gone but you weren't complaining. After all, this was Gojo, a man who knows no boundaries.

"I wanted to make breakfast for you. We haven't had one together since we're both busy." you say as you grabbed the nearby plate, turning off the stove as the now cooked meal sizzles softly from the pan before sliding down to the porcelain surface. In attempt to lick his lips at the now prepared food, his tongue grazes upon your skin, sending you to jolt a bit, hearing the joyous laughter from him as he places a kiss on the spot as an apology.

"W-why don't you go sit down, there's rice bowls and cooked eggs prepared already." stammering, you quickly excused yourself away from his embrace to clean out the mess from the counter. Gojo sighs out the adoration but obliges to your command. Not long after you had finally settled down in front of him. Seeing him in all smiles as he scarfs down on his food made you smile as well. Thank goodness his blindfold was off, they looked adorable twinkling in happiness.

This felt nice. To have an opportunity to be a normal couple once again. So many times you could only daydream of scenarios like this. He could say the same as now that you were present on the usual spot he'd come home to empty. Often dozing off during meetings thinking of where you were or how you were, the multiple times Megumi has fed up with his whining about how he never gets to see or have more time with you. Nobara even pointed out a fact saying, "You act as if you're both married." and Yuuji, being the happy child of the three had said something that always ponder in his mind, "Why don't you marry each other yet, sensei?"

It was a statement he's been considering for a long time. Marriage. Of course Gojo wanted to marry you after years of torment love. To have his precious students say that you both already looked as if you were married got him all heart racing, and very very happy. He's had vivid images of a life with you. Not far from what it is today, but imagine. Unlimited happiness after so long of fearing it. Perhaps maybe even tiny legs running around, giving him such big love as his grows for the family he's craved, watching you smile beside the doorway and calling them in for a meal.

If marrying you means he can have that every day, then the hell with it.

"You look like my wife."

The spoon drop echoes. Slowly his face erupted into a faint blush while staring back at your widened eyes and opened mouth. "What?" gulping down the stuck food in your throat, Gojo bites his lips watching you maintain your composure. So cute. "Y-you know you say funny stuff when you're out of it. Maybe some daifuku would help? Yeah! Wait a sec." quickly getting up from your seat and rummaging in your fridge, you breathed out the heavy puff of air from your lungs.

He did not just say that so directly towards you. Maybe you were dreaming? You wouldn't be if your heart wasn't practically being forced out. Gojo is always fun and games, right? He doesn't mean that.

Sad to think of it that way.

"Ow!" thumping your head above the fridge as you grabbed some of the take outs of Daifuku you got yesterday, closing the fridge back before returning shortly to Gojo, who seemed as out of it as you were. "You did say your brain functions best when you eat sweets. Luckily for you I bought these yesterday. That's why I cooked earlier now because I wanted to try it out with you!"

Gojo can't tell if he wants to be offended at the fact that you think he was joking or just now, cover his half of his face to hide his laughter and igniting squeals. God he wished he had his phone right now, the moment was just so priceless and precious as you were.

"...ter"

Muffles from behind his hand was heard. Tilting your head to the side, trying to process what he said but no avail. "What was that?" you moved a little closer next to him, tapping his hand away almost eagerly. When he does, you spot that knowing smile present on his lips and the uncharacteristic blush still painted on his cheeks.

"Keep doing that and I'll marry you faster, honey."

You've gotten more shy when his hand held yours in the most loving way while drawing patterns. Searching through his eyes if he was playing around, but you were met with ones you know of when they were full of sincerity. "I-i. You know, they were so cheap anyways and I figured you'd want them." he snorts before leaning his head on your arm and laughs hysterically. It was painfully obvious that you were in state of shock that you couldn't even process his words.

Up until now the effect he has on you was still there like before.

"Sweetie." he turns his body away from the table to face you, pulling you so that you were standing in between his legs looking down shyly on the floor. "I'm serious." his fingers reached for your chin to pull your head up to meet his features. His other hand still holding your smaller one; index finger tracing your ring finger in circular motions as if he was creating a make believe ring.

He should thank himself for falling in love and be trusting once again.

Because now, staring back at your eyes filled with the same amount of emotions as his. Reciprocating the exact thing he was feeling. Waking up just to start the day already wanting him to be there. Knowing all the littlest things he's shared. Hearing the erratic sound of both of your heart beats.

He knew he's made the right choice.

"You really do look like my wife. My future."
